Pink Floyd

In August 1988, when Pink Floyd performed "On The Turning Away" live at Nassau Coliseum, they were experiencing a major resurgence in popularity following the success of their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason." This album marked the band's first studio release after the departure of founding member Roger Waters and featured a more synthesized sound, which resonated well with audiences. The Delicate Sound of Thunder concert film and album, featuring the live performance, showcased their music post-Waters and illustrated their adaptation to a different musical landscape while still maintaining their identity. Interestingly, this period highlighted the band's ability to unite both old and new fans, as their extensive catalog drew on earlier works, making the live shows highly dynamic. The concert also exemplified Pink Floyd's renowned visual effects and elaborate stage productions, reinforcing their legacy as one of the seminal rock bands of their era.
