Verified Timeline
Lore & Background
It states that the story follows "Pink," a jaded rock star who builds a psychological wall after traumatic interactions with authority figures and his father's death in WWII. While the album references Pink touring in the United States, where he engages in casual sex and discovers his wife's infidelity, the text does not specify which American city this occurs in.
In Their Own Story
The source describes Pink as a fictional rock star based on Roger Waters and Syd Barrett who builds a wall of isolation. During his tour in the United States, he seeks casual sex to relieve the tedium of touring. A pivotal moment occurs when he makes a phone call home and learns of his wife's infidelity. This trauma leads him to bring a groupie back to his hotel room, which he subsequently trashes in a violent fit of rage. Later, depressed and feeling trapped, he locks himself in his hotel room unresponsive until a paramedic injects him with drugs to enable him to perform. The text does not place these specific events in Los Angeles.
Reader's Guide
The document details that The Wall topped the US charts for 15 weeks and reached number three in the UK, but it does not describe the album's setting within specific American cities. It notes that Roger Waters conceived the idea during the 1977 In the Flesh tour after an incident in Montreal where he spat on a fan. While the text mentions Pink Floyd performed the album on a tour from 1980 to 1981, it does not provide a guide or description of Los Angeles as a location within that context.
