Pink Floyd - Sorrow (Live at Knebworth Park, 1990)

Venue: Knebworth Park Location: Knebworth, England, United Kingdom Date: August 11, 1990

In August 1990, during the performance at Knebworth Park, Pink Floyd was experiencing a resurgence in popularity, marked by their 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," which was their first release after the departure of Roger Waters. This album, along with the subsequent world tour, reestablished the band in the rock scene. "Sorrow," performed live during this concert, reflects the band's exploration of complex themes and sonic innovation. Interestingly, this concert was part of a charity event, which also featured artists like Paul McCartney and Dire Straits, showcasing Pink Floyd's enduring influence and ability to attract other renowned musicians. The Knebworth performance is notable not only for its scale—drawing an audience of over 120,000—but also for symbolizing the band's ability to evolve and resonate with fans well into the late '80s and early '90s, effectively bridging the gap between their earlier masterpieces and their ongoing legacy.
