The legendary British band, formed in 1967, had suffered the loss of two co-founders: keyboardist / vocalist Richard Wright, who left after sessions forThe Wallin 1979, and bass player and lyricist Roger Waters, who had left to go solo in 1985, soon after the 1983 albumThe Final Cut. The gauntlet was thus laid down for guitarist/singer David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason, who proceeded to create the multi-platinumA Momentary Lapse Of Reasonalbum, a global chart smash, which also saw the return of Richard Wright to the fold.Originally released in September 1987,A Momentary Lapse Of Reasonwas quickly embraced by fans worldwide, who flocked to attend the live tour dates, which started within days of the album’s release. The tour played to more than 4.25 million fans over more than two years, and, as a celebration of the enduring talent and global appeal of David, Nick and Richard was unsurpassed at the time.Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 and directed by Wayne Isham, the 2020 release of the Grammy Award nominatedDelicate Sound Of Thunderis sourced directly from over 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, painstakingly restored and transferred to 4K, and completely re-edited by Benny Trickett from the restored and upgraded footage, under the creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis. Similarly, thesound was completely remixed from the original multitrack tapes by longtime Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins.Pink Floyd’s stellar supporting cast for the live dates included: Jon Carin (Keyboards, Vocals), Tim Renwick (Guitars, Vocals), Guy Pratt (Bass, Vocals), Gary Wallis (Percussion), Scott Page (Saxophones, Guitar), Margret Taylor (Backing Vocals), Rachel Fury (Backing Vocals) and Durga McBroom (Backing Vocals).Technical credits include: Film Producers: Curt Marvis and Carl Wyant; Director of Photography: Marc Reshovsky; Lighting Designer: Marc Brickman, with conceptual footage directed by Storm Thorgerson, except ‘Money’ directed by Storm Thorgerson, Barry Chattington and Peter Medak. Animation on 'Time' was by Ian Emes.The setlist carefully balances the then-new material fromA Momentary Lapse Of Reasonand Pink Floyd classics, including songs fromThe Dark Side Of The Moon(Time, On The Run, The Great Gig In The SkyandUs And Them), the anthemic title track ofWish You Were Here,The Wall'sComfortably Numband a catharticRun Like Hell. Pink Floyd’sDelicate Sound of Thunderstill stands as a record of the creative power of David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright at their incendiary best.AUDIOProduced by DAVID GILMOURRemixed by ANDY JACKSON with DAVID GILMOUR assisted by DAMON IDDINSAUDIO-VISUALDirected by WAYNE ISHAMAudio Produced by DAVID GILMOURRemixed by ANDY JACKSON with DAVID GILMOUR assisted by DAMON IDDINSEditor 2019 version - BENNY TRICKETTCreative Director 2019 version - AUBREY POWELL/HIPGNOSISLighting Director – MARC BRICKMAN
