The Wall finally crashes down

During the encore "The Tide Is Turning" with the entire cast onstage.

The site the day after.

A shot of some East German soldiers, off duty and hanging out behind the VIP seats section on the east side to watch the show. The concert took place in the former no mans land between the two sides of Berlin. The buildings in the backround are on the east Berlin side, and all the fronts are false ones put up by the E. Berlin govt. to make the city look better for the tourists and media. Later during the evening, hundreds of people could be seen on the roofs, balconies, and in the windows of these and all the buildings surrounding the site for miles around. The stage itself could be seen from almost anywhere around the city from the rooftops. Tom's not sure how well they could hear however.
