Pink Floyd Performs 'On The Turning Away' Live at The Omni Coliseum, Atlanta

Venue: The Omni Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States Date: November 5, 1987

The live recording of "On The Turning Away" on November 5, 1987, captures Pink Floyd during the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour, which followed the release of their 1987 studio album of the same name. This album marked a significant moment in the band's history as it was their first work after Roger Waters' departure and a shift towards a sound heavily influenced by David Gilmour's vision. The tour itself was notable for its elaborate stage production, featuring a unique visual experience complemented by the band's signature sound. Interestingly, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" was a commercial success, helping to re-establish Pink Floyd as a major force in rock music during the late 1980s, despite mixed initial critical reception. The Atlanta concert showcased the band's ability to connect with their audience, emphasizing the themes of isolation and introspection present in their music.
