Pink Floyd is without a doubt one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. They began in the 60s with Roger Waters on bass, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on organ and Syd Barrett on lead guitar and vocals. Syd penned their early singles like See Emily Play and most of their 1967 album Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive). Their live shows featured unique light shows. However due to Syd's breakdown he was replaced with David Gilmour on guitar in 1968. This would become Pink Floyd's classic lineup through A Saucerful of Secrets, More, Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother. 1971's Meddle would turn out to be an important staple for the band with the rocking opener One of these Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces, featuring a rare spoken vocal by Nick, Roger's echoing bass line and Dave's Slide Guitar. The flip side, another 23 minute piece, Echoes, featuring Dave and Rick on vocals, is often regarded as Progressive Rock's finest moment, from the opening ping of Rick's leslie piano. They would also perform both these songs along with earlier classics Live at Pompeii. The Obscured by Clouds soundtrack appeared in 1972 with tracks like Burning Bridges and Childhood's End. However 1973's Dark Side of the Moon would become one of the most successful albums of all time, staying on the charts for nearly 13 years and still a best seller today. Roger's lyrics dealt with the evils of society driving one to madness, while the music was nearly one entire inter-connected piece (making it difficult to separate for a playlist or a best of / greatest hits compilation). Still standouts like Money, Time and Great Gig in the Sky are favorites among fans. Their 1975 followup Wish You Were Here, featuring the opening and closing piece Shine On You Crazy Diamond (a tribute to Syd Barrett who even showed up at the sessions), is thought to be equally great, if not greater, as Dark Side. But tensions between the band were beginning to rear their head. 1977 saw the release of Animals, notable for its famous cover. Roger became the band's main frontman and sole songwriter with Dave occasionally sharing the mic and writing credits. Tensions grew during the tour when Roger ended up spitting on a fan in Montreal and coming up with the idea for The Wall to separate himself from the audience. 1979 would see the release of The Wall, the album and later the tour and film. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 became their best selling single and Comfortably Numb remains one of their most popular tunes. But it nearly broke up the band as Roger fired Rick for lack of output, creating a greater rift between him and Dave. Recycling unused tracks from The Wall sessions, 1983's The Final Cut was Roger's final album with Pink Floyd. In 1985, Roger officially left the band. Dave and Nick decided to carry on reuniting with Rick for 1987's Momentary Lapse of Reason, produced by Bob Ezrin and featuring songs like Learning to Fly, On the Turning Away, Dogs of War and Sorrow. Roger sued to break up the band, but failed to do so instead focusing on his solo career. A Delicate Sound of Thunder, a live recording from their tour, was released in 1988. The Gilmour led Floyd would produce 1994's The Division Bell, a return to form for many fans with Rick now sharing vocal and songwriting duties again, along with lyricist Polly Samson. High Hopes has become a fan favorite. It wasn't until 2005's Live 8 concert when Dave, Nick and Rick reunited with Roger for a short set giving closure for many fans. Syd never performed with Pink Floyd again and died in 2006. Rick died in 2008. The album The Endless River was dedicated in his honor. Nick Mason would join forces with Guy Pratt to form the touring band Saucerful of Secrets while Dave and Roger have continued doing solo albums and tours. - เพลง
It would be insane if you could interview Guy Pratt, he such a funny person and full of awesome stories! And I think he would be willing to do a video with you when asked.
His Lockdown Licks videos are a treasure trove of information!
And don’t forget the Rockonteurs podcast Guy with Gary Kemp (both in Nick Mason’s Saucerful band (that would be worth a review). Amazing range of interviewees including 2 with Nick
@@jeremykeens3905 Love The Rockonteurs
Definitely, Guy would show up for the opening of a bag of crisps if you asked him.
I bought and listened to momentary lapse woth excitement and i was very pleased. It proved that Pink Floyd was still alive n well. All the songs are great. I recently loved to listen ro Dogs of War bcs it is timeless, not to mention On the Turning Away which is a Masterpiece.
All Pink's albums have 1 or 2 masterpieces but I'm like you, I love their Live version a lot better. I tip my hat to the sound engineers, their live shows are as crisp n clear as their studio albums.
Thanks!
Really great live album, and it feels like the band fully gained confidence on this tour with Dave being the leader.
Agreed 👍
Waters was such an arrogant pill
Fantastic live album, this cemented that I was a Floyd fan, and made me go back to look at DSOTM and Meddle as a teenager - and love them.
Delicate Sound of Thunder is a great live album, AMLOR becomes godly by just being played live. Great video too!
Great video! It's worth noting that there are two versions of this album: the original from 1988 and the 2019 remix, which features more tracks but cuts out some parts, like Guy's bass solo on "Money." Also, there are two versions of the film, but I definitely prefer the newer one--the editing from the original one can be a little headache-inducing, haha.
Can't wait for your video on Roger's albums!
I can’t wait to see this!
Both Scott Page (sax)and Gary Wallace (drums) are my unsung heroes of this tour, without which I do not believe would have been as exciting or fun.
Another monster of an album. Another great review, really enjoying this series.
I saw this tour very early on, and was lucky enough to see them still do Echoes. It was glorious.
Love this one!
Your channel deserves to be huge.
Thank you! Spread the word.
Love the reviews and interviews!
My new favorite channel!!! These are all very enlightening and well done!
Great video again JT. Very interesting details of this tour.
The concert video pales in comparison to when I saw them live in 1987. Except for The Great Gig In The Sky. To this day it is the only version that holds up against the original. The three voices taking the three parts was assigned perfectly.
And again, Welcome to The Machine in the Kingdome was my highlight.
But as I stated before as a member of a fanbase that was starved for Pink Floyd, I loved it because you could actually see 3/4 of Pink Floyd perform! Yes, hoping Roger would rejoin...ah, the follies of youth.
This remaster was incredible plus the 8 extra songs ommitted from the original are a welcome addition
11:02 - Regarding the pig pissing on people.. When I saw the tour a second time in Philadelphia at Veteran's stadium, it was lightly raining (more of a mist really). Said rain did the same thing - made it look like the pig was pissing on the audience.
A second thing is when they went to put the pig away after it's flight, it kicked Rick Wright in the head and almost knocked him over while he was playing. :)
I've seen this tour at the Olympic stadium in Montreal, to this day it's the best concert I've ever seen!
Awesome job 👍
Loved it ❤
I saw the Momentary Lapse tour in Sydney. I've seen some great concerts since, including Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac and most recently Foo Fighters, but as good as those shows were, especially Foo Fighters' tribute to the then-recently deceased Malcolm Young of AC/DC, none of them came close to Pink Floyd.
Momentary Lapse was my first Floyd record and I’m just now learning Tony Levin was on bass? Mind blown
Which one do you prefer? The original with the 80s sound or the 2019 remix with dry drums but more songs (and more Rick)?
I think I prefer the original but it's hard to choose!
Very cool you wear that 80s David look with the white t below the Jacket!
We need a Pulse review
Would be really cool to see you go through Deep Purple's Discography as well!
By the way, the Obi Wan Kenobi TH-cam page has the BEST Pink Floyd live videos, AND they are all subtitled too so you can follow along!
The lack of Pink Floyd live albums is honestly criminal.
It's a giant shame they didn't professionally record their 70s shows, with the exception of the 1974 Wembley show.
I was there!
brilliant
Why didn’t you make a Division Bell & Pulse review? These albums have got great moments too. And a lot of historic events too.
They're coming...
see on TH-cam at: BLACK METAL TEENS LISTENING PINK FLOYD
The GOD LIKE Comfortably Numb solo is on the original DSOT album….Not on PULSE.
You should time-travel back to the late 80s and join the band.
I’ll need a DeLorean first…
Let's be honest. This album has the best title of any Pink Floyd album. I rate this above Dark Side.
Uh… where was the rating/essential tracks?
Why would you need a rating when it's already perfect.
I don't usually do those for live albums, especially when the contain material from the studio albums. Live at Pompeii was a rare exception. However "On the Turning Away" would be my essential track. These versions of "Sorrow," "Learning to Fly," "One Slip" and "Dogs of War," honestly pretty much anything from Momentary Lapse of Reason, are standout tracks.
@@JTCurtisMusic You also did the ratings for The Wall live and Concert for Bangladesh if I remember correctly
@@johnlauracave8169 I checked both of those again, I didn’t give them ratings. I said if they released The Wall tour video in high def, it would reach goldfish level for me, but they’ve never released it.
i guess you where teasing amused to death at the end?
You may be onto something ;)
@@JTCurtisMusic cant wait! love that album more than some floyd stuff
Yo, can u do fleetwood Mac next??
Did them already:

I’ve always thought Pulse was far better than Delicate Sounds of Thunder. I always found the DSoT performance to be more stale in comparison. Just my opinion!
Stay tuned...
I like this album but have to say I find turning away a bit cheesy.
Promo_SM 🌷
ahaha what "roger has been up to?" i guess this may be the beginning of eventually becoming a putin apologist
This was the guy Roger was referring to in the preamble to the "this is not a drill tour". Have fun at the bar! Hope they're playing CNN on the TV!
That’s not Pink Floyd
What has Roger been up to through all of this? probably suing the band I imagine, while also failing to fill halls with his awful Radio KAOS tour.
