Pink Floyd Live Performance of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' at Knebworth Park

Venue: Knebworth Park Location: Knebworth, England Date: August 6, 1990

In 1990, during the live performance of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" at Knebworth Park, Pink Floyd was in a transitional phase of their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of the album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987, which marked the band's return to the stage following a lengthy hiatus and the departure of founding member Roger Waters. The Knebworth show was significant as it was part of the "The Division Bell" tour, which began in 1994, ultimately coinciding with the band’s introspective work on their 1994 album. The inclusion of saxophonist Candy Dulfer and bassist Guy Pratt highlights the band's willingness to incorporate fresh musical talents into their classic sound, showcasing their adaptability while honoring their rich legacy. The performance also served as a tribute to former member Syd Barrett, from whom the song’s poignant themes are derived, linking the present to the band's storied past at a time of both reflection and celebration.
