Pink Floyd

In August 1988, when Pink Floyd performed at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the band was in the midst of their "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour, promoting their thirteenth studio album, which had been released the previous year. This album marked a significant phase for Pink Floyd as it was their first major project after the departure of founding member Roger Waters and the first album to feature a collaborative effort from the remaining members, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright. The tour was notable for its lavish stage productions and elaborate visuals, which became a hallmark of Pink Floyd's live shows. The performance of "One Slip" during this concert captures a pivotal moment in the band's evolution, showcasing the unique blend of their progressive rock roots with a more contemporary sound in the late 1980s. This era also highlights the band's ongoing creative resilience and ability to draw large audiences despite the lineup changes.
