At nearly 4 minutes in, a beautiful chorus is sung between Gilmour, Pratt, and the girls. Is very haunting, in both vocals, and melody. Very much vocally driven, it starts off with Gilmour singing almost the entire first verse with very little instrumental accompaniment. It relates to how selfish people are today, and how we (as a society) need to embrace one another. On The Turning Away (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason)Ī hopeful, yet admonishing song, somewhat similar in mood to Imagine by John Lennon. The first song on the album in which the female backing vocals can be heard. Has a real martial feel to it, along with some excellent vocals from Gilmour, and some inventive drumming from Mason. This song, at least on the surface, refers to the evil ways of governments world-wide, but some believe it to be a stab at the record industry, ala Wish You Were Here (the album, that is). A very well-written song, it sounds great live, and features an awesome solo by Gilmour at about 7 minutes in.ĭogs Of War (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason) Indeed, in Gilmour’s own words, Wright and Mason were nearly catatonic when it came to recording the album. It basically refers to the shock and regret that Gilmour, Wright and Mason felt after the loss of Waters. Probably the most meaningful song on its original album. However, it is a separate song, and does contain some interesting chord work from Gilmour. At 33 seconds in length, it is nothing more than an instrumental closer to Yet Another Movie, and I would be surprised if you can pick the change without looking to see when the song changes. Round And Around (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason) Basically the lyrical segment of an “over-song” which Round And Around finishes off in true Floyd fasion. Rather good lyrically, but poor when the musical component is considered.
Features a soft, mystical intro by Gilmour and Wright, with the occasional beat by Mason.

Yet Another Movie makes up the bulk of this set, at over 6 minutes long. Yet Another Movie (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason) At 2.32, there is some keyboard work which displays the talent of Wright. Contains some of the more haunting lyrics from Disc 1, and is all-together one of the strongest songs of the album. The song starts off with lovely bass/drum intro, which blend together beautifully, and become even more perfect once Gilmour starts singing and providing some rhythm. An excellent song, from beginning to end. Learning To Fly (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason) This song is basically a tribute to Syd Barrett, the original guitarist of the band, who’s mental health was affected greatly by the band’s sudden rise to fame. A somewhat smoother version of the song, with Gilmour voicing the lead vocals, rather than Waters.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Wish You Were Here)Ī combined, epic version of the original two part, nine-movement song that began and ended the album Wish You Were Here. However, the majority of these come from their most popular albums: Dark Side Of The Moon, and The Wall, as well as the tours main album. This album features a broad span of songs, from most of Pink Floyd’s career. Margret Taylor, Rachel Fury, Durga McBroom: Backing Vocals The two disc album is the live recordings of the bands best shows.
At first, not many venues were willing to sign this new version of Floyd, but after Toronto sold out to record crowds, a virtual tidal wave of promoters jostled to book them, and the ’87/’88 Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour began. The rest of the band, namely Gilmour, Richard Wright (keyboards) and Nick Mason (Drums), released their new album, and funded the follow-up tour out of their own pockets. Waters had left the band, following an extreme clash of personalities between himself and David Gilmour, the band’s guitarist.Īfter an unsuccessful attempt to end all things Floyd with a court order, Waters bitterly quit all contact with his former bandmates, and retired into semi-reclusion. They had just released their new album, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, minus the talents of singer/bassist In 1987, the band known as Pink Floyd were in crisis.
