Pink Floyd/London,UK 8.6.1988

“A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON TOUR” made the new PINK FLOYD known to the world. An original vacuum-packed recording of the performance in his home country is now available. This work includes “London performance on August 6, 1988”. This is an exquisite audience recording recorded at “Wembley Stadium”, which is also famous as the site of LIVE AID. The biggest point of this work is the amazing sound. After all, it is a recording by the world’s master master “Crazy S.”, and it is one of the masterpieces that was made directly from the original cassette to CD. Before touching on the sound, first let’s look at the show position. Speaking of “A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON TOUR”, the official live album “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” is also left, so let’s check their relative positions from the schedule at the time. 1987《“Utsu” released on September 7th》 September 9th – December 10th: North America #1 (60 performances) 1988 January 22nd – March 11th: Oceania/Japan (31 performances)・April 15th – June 4th: North America #2 (27 performances) ・June 10th – August 8th: Europe #1 (30 performances) ←★Here★・August 12th – 23rd: North America #3 (10 performances) ← *Official [“Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” released on November 22] May 13-July 18, 1989: Europe #2 (40 performances) This is “A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON” Overall picture of “TOUR”. A monumental performance in Japan was also realized, and it was a huge tour that included two tours of Europe and three tours of North America. Both this work and “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” are records from 1988, but while the official live work was in North America, this work is a European show. This was the 29th concert of “Europe #1”. In 1989, there were 6 consecutive performances at the London Arena, but 3 performances were held in the UK, which is “Europe #1”. Among them, “Wembley Stadium” was also a triumphant return performance that attracted a total of 150,000 people for two consecutive nights. This work, recorded at such a glorious scene, is extremely neat. The best thing about it is the clarity. Perhaps due to the open space with no ceiling, the clear core with zero echo reaches the ears straight, and the details are super vivid. Although it is different from the zero distance feeling that you get with a soundboard, the audience-likeness is limited to the tone, and the deep bass that would normally be spoiled approaches with a force that is on the verge of freaking out. There is a mistake in which the volume becomes unnaturally low for about 1 minute in the intro of “The Dogs Of War”, probably because I touched the volume when changing the tape, but other than that, there are no other flaws. “Wembley Stadium” can never be said to be a suitable venue for recording, but it does not matter. What is depicted with that clear sound is a full show with a set similar to “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!”. Let’s compare and organize them here.・Meddle (1 song): One Of These Days ・Madness (5 songs): Time / On The Run (★) / The Great Gig In The Sky (★) / Us And Them / Money ・Flame (3 songs): Shine On You Crazy Diamond/Wish You Were Here/Welcome To The Machine (★)・The Wall (3 songs): Another Brick In The Wall Part 2/Comfortably Numb/Run Like Hell・Utsu (7 songs): Signs Of Life (★) / Learning To Fly / Yet Another Movie / Sorrow / The Dogs Of War / On The Turning Away / One Slip (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official version of “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” . …and it looks like this. There are 5 songs that cannot be heard in the official version, and the new songs “Signs Of Life” and “One Slip”, which were only played on this tour, can be enjoyed with wonderful sound. And above all, “Welcome To The Machine”. Although it is a classic written by Roger and sung by Gilmore, it was not played on “THE DIVISION BELL TOUR” and has never been performed by Gilmore solo. You can experience the ultimate experience of such a final tour. The new FLOYD was revived under the leadership of Gilmore. It is a masterpiece that allows you to fully experience the triumphant return performance with a real and clear masterpiece recording. It is a musical work where you can enjoy famous songs that cannot be heard on “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!”, but more than that, it is also a live album whose glorious mood touches your heart.
