Pink Floyd

In June 1989, when Pink Floyd performed "Money" live in Venice, the band was riding the success of their critically acclaimed album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which had been released in 1987. This album marked a significant period of revival for the band after the departure of founding member Roger Waters. "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" introduced a more polished sound, heavily influenced by David Gilmour's vision, encompassing themes of introspection and nostalgia. The Venice concert was part of the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour, showcasing the band's capacity to captivate large audiences with their elaborate stage setups and light shows. Notably, this performance occurred in a unique setting—a floating stage on the Grand Canal, demonstrating the band's bold artistic choices. This post-Waters era solidified Pink Floyd's enduring legacy, achieving both commercial success and critical acclaim, while expanding their reach to new generations of fans.
