The Roger Waters concert in Berlin on July 21, 1990, was a massive event held in celebration of the reunification of Germany. Waters organized the concert as a benefit for the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief, which provided aid to victims of natural disasters. The concert, entitled ‘The Wall - Live in Berlin,’ was held in Potsdamer Platz, which was formerly located in the no man's land between East and West Berlin. The show featured a massive wall built across the stage, reminiscent of Pink Floyd's iconic album and movie The Wall, and featured an all-star lineup of musicians, including Bryan Adams, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Scorpions, Sinéad O'Connor, and many others. The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra also performed during the show.

The concert attracted a massive crowd of over 350,000 people, making it one of the largest rock concerts in history at the time, and was also broadcast live on television and radio around the world, with an estimated audience of over one billion viewers. The event raised over $1 million for the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief. The concert was a landmark moment in the history of rock music and is remembered as a powerful celebration of unity and hope in the wake of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
