Pink Floyd

The live recording from October 30, 1987, at Tampa Stadium falls during Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour, which supported the album of the same name released earlier that year. This album marked a significant period in the band's history, as it was their first studio release after the departure of founding member Roger Waters and the first in nearly seven years. The music showcased a more polished and commercial sound, reflecting the band's evolution and adaptation to a post-Waters lineup. Notably, "Learning to Fly," which appears in the setlist of the Tampa concert, became one of the band's most popular tracks during this era, highlighting their successful transition to a new phase while still engaging with their classic sound. The tour itself was marked by elaborate staging and a commitment to the theatricality that defined Pink Floyd's identity, making this concert a representative experience of their post-classic period.
