The Story Behind: Pink Floyd - The Wall (part 2), Ep. 251

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  Pink Floyd decamp to France to record a make or break high-concept double album as tensions within the band continue to mount. After the classic lineup breakup, they stay together as friends (just kidding) and only one person gets paid (this part's true). The boys continue their milestone celebration and talk fretless bass, emotional peaks, and unsavory dalliances with authoritarianism.
