Pink Floyd

By July 15, 1989, when Pink Floyd performed "Comfortably Numb" live in Venice, the band was in the midst of their highly acclaimed "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour, supporting their album of the same name released in 1987. This period was marked by the band's return to the forefront of rock music after a hiatus characterized by leadership disputes and the absence of co-founder Roger Waters. The Venice concert showcased not only their resurgence but also their elaborate live shows, complete with stunning visual effects and pyrotechnics, which became a hallmark of their performances. The event was part of a series of concerts that further solidified Pink Floyd's legacy, leading to the subsequent release of their "The Later Years" box set in 2019, which included remastered recordings of this tour, emphasizing their lasting impact in the music industry.
