It looks like the 1990 Berlin concert--the fact that it's outside, is featuring a huge wall, and a huge audience implies that--but for some reason tinted purple.

Didn't the Berlin Wall go down in 1989? Before the 1990 concert...
It's Roger Waters' concert he did in 1990, titled The Wall: Live in Berlin.
It was done just a few short months after the Berlin Wall came down, on the very site where the wall once stood. In fact, the audience and stage are on what was once the
no mans land, where all the barbed wire and landmines between East and West was.
Pretty cool.
And the concert was amazing as well. It was as mentioned above, done in 1990 by Roger Waters, former Pink Floyd bassist and the one who pretty much wrote The Wall back in 1979. Pink Floyd themselves were not involved in this concert. The Berlin concert was modeled after Pink Floyd's own The Wall concerts done in 1980/81, which were mainly arena concerts, and therefore were not of the scale the Berlin concert is. This concert was fucking huge. That's about all I can say there. They had scissor lifts in front of the stage that went up and down the face of the wall, they had a marching band performing in front of the wall, lighting towers in front of and at either side of the stage that were large hydraulic bucket tower things that went up and down and side to side moving around over the stage...
To make up for the lack of Pink Floyd band memebrs on the stage, a cast of awesome musicians was assembled to pick up the bits which would have been sung by Dave and Rick, including Van Morrison on Comfortably Numb, Sinead O'Conner on Mother and Cyndi Lauper on Another Brick in the Wall part 2 (which some will say was the worst part of the show, but I found her singing and stage performance amusing, but was also quite aroused by the guitar and keyboard solos).
And I have no idea why the guy who made this image (Glenn maybe?) tinted it pink/purple... it really doesn't go with it at all.
