Pink Floyd

In July 1989, during their performance in Venice, Pink Floyd was in a transitional stage in their career following the release of their album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in 1987. This album marked a significant return for the band after a long hiatus and was notable for being recorded without founding member Roger Waters, who had left the band in 1985. The Venice concert, which was broadcast live on television, showcased the band's new direction, focusing on the more polished, synthesizer-driven sound that characterized their late-80s work. This performance was particularly historic as it was part of a series of concerts that helped re-establish Pink Floyd’s prominence in the music industry, ultimately leading to their later success with "The Division Bell" in 1994. The stunning backdrop of Venice added to the spectacle, making it one of their memorable live performances of the era.
