About
Though Roger Waters had left the group in the early '80s, Pink Floyd soldiered on as a trio, highly fortified by guest musicians. <i>Delicate Sound of Thunder</i> is a live album recorded in August 1988 over a five-night stay at New York's Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, featuring big songs from Pink Floyd's quartet days and six tracks from its then-current studio album, <i>A Momentary Lapse of Reason</i>. Keyboardist Richard Wright handled lead vocals for "Time" and "Comfortably Numb," while the remainder of Waters' vocal parts were done more than capably by David Gilmour, who'd always had the group's more pleasing voice and was often its lead singer. Of the classics, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is more about Gilmour's shimmering leads and the interplay between guitar and keyboards, while "One of These Days" is a welcome deep-album cut that features Pink Floyd at its most psychedelic. "Comfortably Numb" centers around Gilmour's legendary guitar solo, while "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" is a perfect song for an arena crowd.

"Delicate Sound Of Thunder" documents Pink Floyd's comeback tour (1987-1988) supporting their new album A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. It was recorded and filmed over five nights at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York in August 1988, and released in November 1988 as a double LP, double cassette, double CD, and VHS, each format containing a slightly different track listing.
The film version wasn't available in digital format (DVD and Blu-ray) before 2019 when it was included in 'The Later Years' boxset (opens in a new tab), and then later available in a standalone edition in 2020.
