It should be available somewhere, I saw that concert once.

Here's another bit of trivia from "The Wall" movie.

Bob Geldof, cut his hand severely on a metal blind during the filming of the room trashing scene.

If you watch closely, BG starts to go nuts in a hotel room and grabs for the blinds. He has his back to the camera so you don't see him actually cut himself- He grabs the blinds, pulls them down and right before the scene changes he looks down at his hand, which he has sliced open!

The scene that opens the movie, was a recreation of a riot that actually happened at the location where is was filmed at.

The Lost Angeles Sports Arena held a PF concert that turned into a riot when fans and the LAPD squared off before the gig!

Two Rolling Stones records were released with some very unique additions to the album sleeves.

The "Sticky Fingers" AC had a real working zipper that fans were able to slide up and down.

On the "Some Girls" cover, there were cut out sections over a wheel that could be spun to change the faces on the women on the cover, Mick and the Boys were some of the choices that could be made.

Jerry Garcia/Grateful Dead lost part of a finger in a childhood accident, He used that to his advantage, saying it made him a better musician.

Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo has penned many scores on video/movie projects, including the theme to 'The Simpsons'.

At the LIVE AID concert, Phil Collins became the first musician to perform on two different continents the same day. He did a set in England, flew on the Concorde to the U.S. where he appeared in Philapdelphia later on in the show televised around the world.

I still have both of these vinyl albums!
Off to think of new trivia.
