Pink Floyd

In August 1987, Pink Floyd was in the midst of promoting their album *A Momentary Lapse of Reason*, which had been released a year earlier, in September 1987. This album marked a significant point in the band’s evolution, being their first studio album released after the departure of co-founder Roger Waters. The live recording at Pearson Airport in Toronto was part of the rehearsals for their upcoming tour, which was intended to support the album. Notable details from this period include the band’s shift in musical direction, embracing a more polished, commercially accessible sound. Additionally, the tour following the album's release was monumental, as it was their first major tour in over a decade, revitalizing their presence in the rock scene and setting the stage for their iconic live album, *Delicate Sound of Thunder*, which was recorded during the subsequent tour.
