Pink Floyd/NY,USA 10.5.1987

“A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON Tour” is the beginning of the new PINK FLOYD. Introducing an exquisite live album where you can experience the early stages of the show. What is infused into this work is “October 5, 1987 New York performance”. This is an audience recording recorded at Madison Square Garden (hereinafter referred to as MSG) for the first time in 10 years since “IN THE FLESH Tour”. Speaking of “A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON Tour”, it not only made “Floyd without Roger Waters” known all over the world, but it was also the largest world tour in Floyd history, with approximately 200 performances over two years. First of all, let’s look back at the progress and check the position of the show. 1987《“Utsu” released on September 7》・September 9th – December 10th: North America #1 (60 performances)←★Here★ 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) August 12th – 23rd: North America #3 (10 performances) ← *Official [“Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” released on November 22nd] May 13th – July 18th, 1989: Europe #2 (40 performances) This is from 1987-1989 PINK FLOYD. The MSG performance of this work is also the beginning. This is the 17th performance of “North America #1″, about a month after the tour started. It was a concert at a time when the world was confused by “Floyd without Roger” and was excited about the spectacle show of the century. In addition, Floyd’s MSG performances were only in 1977 (4 performances) and 1987 (3 performances), and this work was also the first day of a 3-day continuous performance. This work recorded at such a show is truly a masterpiece. At the beginning, the taper himself is a new excavation master who whispers “Pink Floyd”, but it is so wonderful that it is hard to believe that this is MSG. In fact, although MSG is a famous traditional venue, it is by no means blessed with acoustics. Not only does it have a capacity of 20,000 people, but it also receives a lot of feedback, and is known as a venue that brings recording artists to tears. It is true that this work also absorbs thicker sounds, but the core that penetrates through the middle is extremely thick, and along with that, the details are transmitted well. You can’t expect a close feeling, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel far away either. The thick resonance gives the performance dynamism and spectacle, and although it is powerful, it is not frightening, and strangely there is no state enthusiasm. You can simply immerse your whole body in the neat sound space. The dynamic aesthetic sound depicts the full show of “A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON Tour,” which can be called a live performance version of “Utsu.” It is different from the official live work “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!”, so let’s compare and organize it here. Part 1 (DISC 1: 11 songs) Flame: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) Depression: Signs of Life (★) / Learning to Fly / Yet Another Movie / Round and Around / A New Machine (Part 1 ) (★) / Terminal Frost (★) / A New Machine (Part 2) (★) / Sorrow / The Dogs of War / On the Turning Away Part 2 (DISC 2: 9 songs) / Meddle: One of These Days・Madness: Time/On the Run (★)/Us and Them/Money ・Flame: Wish You Were Here/Welcome to the Machine (★) ・The Wall: Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)/Comfortably Numb Encore (DISC 2: 2 songs)・Utsu: One Slip (★)・The Wall: Run Like Hell *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official edition “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” …and it looks like this. The structure is familiar, with the first part being “Utsu” and the second part being classics, but there are also repertoires that were omitted on the official edition. As a result, it is more than 30 minutes longer than “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!”, and you can enjoy the entire performance of “Utsu” along with the encore “One Slip”. Also, don’t forget “Welcome to the Machine”. Since it was not performed on “THE DIVISION BELL Tour”, it cannot be heard on “P.U.L.S.E”, but it is also a delicious song that could not be heard on “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!” or the video work “DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER”. The new PINK FLOYD revived without Roger and became an even bigger presence. This is a live album where you can enjoy a full show where the huge body has just appeared. A new masterpiece that allows you to experience the classic spectacular show in rock history at MSG. An excellent audience recording of the “October 5, 1987 Madison Square Garden performance” which was at the beginning of the Utsu tour. Although it absorbs thicker sounds, the core that penetrates through the middle is extremely thick, and along with that, details are also transmitted firmly. The sound gives dynamism and spectacle to the performance, and although it is powerful, it is not frightening, and strangely there is no state-of-the-art enthusiasm. It’s a great recording that allows you to immerse your whole body in a neat sound space. You can experience the full show, which is more than 30 minutes longer than “Hikari: PERFECT LIVE!”, including all the songs of “Utsu” and the precious “Welcome to the Machine”.
