Pink Floyd/CO, USA 1994

“THE DIVISION BELL TOUR” was PINK FLOYD’s last world tour. Two live albums will be released at the same time that will give you the best experience of the North American leg. Speaking of “THE DIVISION BELL TOUR,” we have reported on many masterpieces of audience recordings, including soundboards such as the official expanded version “DEFINITIVE PULSE”, “DEFINITIVE TORINO 1994” and “EARLS COURT 1994 BBC RADIO BROADCAST”. Ta. However, most of these are records from the European tour. The two works that appear this time are representative works of the North American leg that are fundamentally different from those. This second work includes “June 18, 1994: Denver Performance”. This is the best audience recording. First of all, let’s check the show’s position along with the simultaneously released “SAN DIEGO 1994 (Amity 617)”.・March 3rd + 23rd: Rehearsal [“Tsu/TSUI” released on March 28th] ・March 30th – April 10th: North America #1 (5 performances) ・April 14th “SAN DIEGO 1994” ・April 16th – June 16th: North America #2 (35 performances) June 18th: Denver performance ←★This work★ June 20th – June 16th: North American #3 (17 performances) 7 March 22nd – October 29th: Europe/UK (51 performances) The above is an overview of “THE DIVISION BELL TOUR”, with only the “North American” leg listed in detail. While the simultaneously released “SAN DIEGO 1994” was at the very beginning of the tour, the Denver performance of this work was the 42nd concert, which was the second half of the “North American” leg. This work recorded at such a show is a tight and direct masterpiece recording. The scene was the now defunct Mile High Stadium, an open space with no ceiling. As a result, a vivid core with no repercussions jumps in, but that’s not all. Although the detailed recording position is not known, judging from the sound it seems like it was on the side of the PA. Especially after the third song “What Do You Want From Me?” it’s amazing. Everything from treble to deep bass is extremely thick and strong. At the same time, it has a beauty that doesn’t scare you. In fact, since he is the type to honestly convey his great enthusiasm, I would not mistake him for a soundboard, but the important performance sound and singing voice are definitely soundboard-class. The dynamic sound depicts a full show that is similar to the simultaneously released “SAN DIEGO 1994”. Since you have probably read the explanation of the sister work before reading this article, let’s organize the contents by comparing it with “SAN DIEGO 1994”. 70’s (14 songs) – Dawn Whistle: Astronomy Domine – Meddle: One Of These Days – Madness: Speak To Me (★) / Breathe (In the Air) / Time / The Great Gig In The Sky / Us And Them /Money ・Flame: Shine On You Crazy Diamond/Wish You Were Here・The Wall: Another Brick In The Wall Part 2/Comfortably Numb/Hey You/Run Like Hell From the 80s (8 songs)・Depression: Learning To Fly /On The Turning Away/Sorrow ・Paired with: What Do You Want From Me?/Take It Back/Coming Back To Life (★)/Keep Talking/High Hopes *Note: “★” indicates “SAN DIEGO 1994” which was released at the same time. A song that you can’t listen to on “. …and it looks like this. Approximately two months after “SAN DIEGO 1994”, “A Great Day For Freedom” was dropped, but “Speak To Me” and “Coming Back To Life” were included. “One Of These Days”, “On The Turning Away” and “Take It Back”, which could not be heard on the official version “PULSE”, are also performed. During “Take It Back,” you suddenly hear a sound that sounds like fireworks going off, but this is a problem with the on-site PA. Although it recovers quickly in about 7 seconds, you can enjoy scenes that are unusual for a super big name like FLOYD. In any case, you can enjoy the North American leg with a very thick and tight dynamic sound. That’s all. If “SAN DIEGO 1994” released at the same time is a live album that captures the “beauty unique to the audience”, this work is the type that enjoys the soundboard-like closeness and the realism of American enthusiasm. Although they have different personalities, they are representative works of the North American leg that do not yield to each other.
