Pink Floyd

The live recording of "Wish You Were Here" at Knebworth in 1990 came during a pivotal period in Pink Floyd's career. Prior to this performance, the band released their acclaimed album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987, which marked a significant comeback after the departure of Roger Waters. This album, along with the accompanying tours, helped reestablish Pink Floyd's presence in the rock scene, introducing new tracks while revisiting their classic material. The Knebworth concert was part of the "Glastonbury Fayre" and featured an impressive lineup, showcasing the band's enduring popularity and their ability to gather large audiences. Additionally, the Knebworth performance was notable as it was one of the last major events featuring the classic lineup before transition towards their later works, emphasizing their legacy within the progressive rock genre.
