Pink Floyd

In August 1988, when Pink Floyd performed at the Nassau Coliseum, they were on the heels of their album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which had been released the previous year in 1987. This album marked a significant comeback for the band following the departure of founding member Roger Waters, and it showcased a new musical direction largely driven by David Gilmour. The live recording, part of the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" concert film and album, captured the band during a time of rejuvenation and commercial success, highlighted by their elaborate stage production and theatricality. Notably, "Delicate Sound of Thunder" became famous for being the first rock album played in space, marking a unique intersection of music and exploration, reinforcing Pink Floyd's legacy as innovators in both sound and experience.
