Album Review

In the late '80s, fans were thirsting for a live spectacle from Pink Floyd, where they could hear the old tunes and see all the old stunts. That's what they got on the 1987/1988 Pink Floyd world tour, which is documented on the double-disc set Delicate Sound of Thunder. David Gilmour's reunited Floyd (minus Roger Waters) was intent on re-creating the sound and feel of classic Floyd, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the oldies feel like the classic records, only with Gilmour taking each vocal. He and Floyd deliver well with professional, competent, and often enjoyable music — an adequate souvenir of the tour.

Customer Reviews

Buy this for Comfortably Numb.

The studio version was incredible, but this live version sans Roger Waters is even more so. It's the only song drastically different from the studio version, and well worth the purchace.

That being said, the rest of the album is great aswell.

Guitar Tour de Force

With David Gilmour at the helm, this album showcases his lead guitar playing and the results are stunning. Comfortably Numb, On The Turning Away, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and Sorrow all display amazing soulful guitar virtuosity. I own all legally available versions of Comfortably Numb and this is my favorite, by far. Even if you own all of Pink Floyd's other work, this album is worth adding to your collection.

Pink Floyd is the premier space rock band. Since the mid-'60s, their music relentlessly tinkered with electronics and all manner of special effects to push pop formats to their outer limits. At the same time they wrestled with lyrical themes and concepts of such massive scale that their music has taken on almost classical, operatic quality in both sound and words. Despite their astral image, the group was brought down to earth in the '80s by decidedly mundane power struggles over leadership and,...
