Pink Floyd

In 1988, Pink Floyd was experiencing a resurgence in their career with the release of "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which came out the previous year in 1987. The live recording of "On the Turning Away" from August 19, 1988, during their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour at Nassau Coliseum, showcases the band re-establishing their presence after a period of turmoil and transition following Roger Waters' departure. This tour marked their first in over a decade, bringing together the remaining founding members, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, along with new members such as keyboardist Richard Wright and guitarist Tim Renwick. The performance recorded during this time is particularly notable for its lavish visual effects and the band's exploration of newer material, which helped to solidify their legacy as progressive rock pioneers, even as they navigated the changes in the music landscape of the late 1980s.
