Pink Floyd

In August 1988, Pink Floyd was in the midst of the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour, promoting their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason." This marked a significant period in the band's career as it was their first studio album after the departure of Roger Waters, and it represented a new direction for the band under the creative guidance of David Gilmour. "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" introduced a blend of progressive rock and more commercially viable sounds, signaling a rebirth of Pink Floyd. The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum concert was part of a series of live performances that showcased the band's elaborate stage production and their ability to connect with audiences despite internal changes. Interestingly, the concert was later featured in the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" live album and film, capturing the essence of Pink Floyd’s live performance during this transitional phase in their history.
