Pink Floyd

Ah, Pink Floyd! By the time they played their stunning live show on July 15, 1989, in Venice, they’d already been through quite a journey. This performance came shortly after the release of "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," their 1987 album, which marked a significant moment for the band. It was their first studio work without founding member Roger Waters, rising from the ashes of internal strife to explore new musical territories, blending their classic psychedelic sound with a more 80s-style rock vibe. This concert not only showcased the band’s resilience but also turned into a grand event, particularly set against the mesmerizing backdrop of Piazza San Marco. Interestingly, the concert was part of a larger series of shows aimed at uniting Europe, just as the continent found itself on the brink of monumental changes. So, here’s Pink Floyd, not just performing but also serving a subtle message of unity and hope—how’s that for rock and roll gravitas?
