When I sat down in the Rio Theatre to watch LiveStage Production of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, I was flooded with memories of my childhood: sitting alone in my bedroom having my adolescent mind blown by the dreamscapes of Pink Floyd.

While I wasn’t big into the whole pot smoking thing, listening to the English band’s albums kind of helped me fit in with that whole reefer madness scene. When I’m at a good live concert, and I’m really into what I’m listening to, I find my brain wandering off into various rooms in my mind. With this live production of The Wall, there’s a lot more going on than your average concert or play. In keeping with the spirit of my youth and to better navigate my brain space as I review this show, I have constructed a Bubble Map. If it starts to get too trippy for you, just have a couple of tokes and read it again. It should make sense, eventually.
