Pink Floyd

The live recording of "Sorrow" featured in "Delicate Sound of Thunder," captured at Nassau Coliseum on August 1, 1988, represents a significant moment in Pink Floyd's career following the release of their thirteenth studio album, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which came out in 1987. This album marked a pivotal point for the band as it was their first since the departure of founding member Roger Waters, embracing a new sound that blended progressive rock with contemporary elements. The "Delicate Sound of Thunder" concert film showcases the band’s growth during this transitional period, reflecting their re-emergence as a live touring act. Notably, this performance included elaborate visual effects and a full band setup, which was integral to their identity as a live performance group, allowing them to assert their presence in the music scene after internal struggles.
