RESTOREDnbsp REEDITEDnbsp REMIXEDDelicate Sound Of Thundernbspencapsulates a band at their best.nbspIn 1987, Pink Floyd made a triumphant resurgence. The legendary British band, formed in 1967, had suffered the loss of two cofounders keyboardist vocalist Richard Wright, who left after sessions fornbspThe Wallnbspin 1979, and bass player and lyricist Roger Waters, who had left to go solo in 1985, soon after the 1983 albumnbspThe Final Cut. The gauntlet was thus laid down for guitaristsinger David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason, who proceeded to create the multiplatinumnbspA Momentary Lapse Of Reasonnbspalbum, a global chart smash, which also saw the return of Richard Wright to the fold.Originally released in September 1987,nbspA Momentary Lapse Of Reasonnbspwas quickly embraced by fans worldwide, who flocked to attend the live tour dates, which started within days of the albumrsquos release. The tour played to more than 4.25 million fans over more than two years, and, as a celebration of the enduring talent and global appeal of David, Nick and Richard was unsurpassed at the time.Filmed at Long Islandrsquos Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 and directed by Wayne Isham, the 2020 release of the Grammy Award nominatednbspDelicate Sound Of Thundernbspis sourced directly from over 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, painstakingly restored and transferred to 4K, and completely reedited by Benny Trickett from the restored and upgraded footage, under the creative direction of Aubrey PowellHipgnosis.
