Pink Floyd

In August 1988, Pink Floyd was in the midst of their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, supporting their thirteenth studio album, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which was released in September 1987. This album marked a significant phase in the band’s evolution as it was the first following the departure of founding member Roger Waters. The album, characterized by its polished sound and thematic exploration of isolation and recovery, saw the return of David Gilmour as the band's creative leader. The Nassau Coliseum performance captured in the live recording highlights this transition, showcasing the band's reinvigoration and new direction. The live performance, part of a larger work known as "Delicate Sound of Thunder," was later remastered and included in the box set "The Later Years 1987–2019," reflecting both the band's enduring legacy and a re-examination of this pivotal period in their career.
