Pink Floyd Live Performance of 'Wish You Were Here' in Venice, Italy
In June 1989, during the live performance of "Wish You Were Here" in Venice, Italy, Pink Floyd was experiencing a pivotal moment in their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of their album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which came out in 1987. The album marked a significant return for the band following a brief hiatus and the departure of founding member Roger Waters. The Venice concert was part of a larger tour that aimed to re-establish Pink Floyd's place in the music scene, showcasing their classic tracks alongside new material. An interesting fact about this recording is that it was one of the band's first performances after the departure of Waters and was notable for its elaborate stage setup, including a floating stage on the Grand Canal, creating a memorable visual experience that complemented the music. This live recording highlights both the band's enduring legacy and their adaptive evolution in the late '80s.
