Rating: - definitive live album

this is the complete experience for lovers of pink floyd. taken from probably their best ever tour, all of the songs are performed studio perfect and are recorded round and crisp in sound which can be cranked up to full volume without distortion. a must for every floyd fan.

Rating: - Dave's Big Bland

This "live" LP has plenty of overdubs. No problem with that. The problem lies with the choice of material. The old Floyd tracks sound OK (if completely soulless), because they are good songs. The newer stuff from the awfully turgid A Momentary Lapse of Reason album suffers badly by comparison. After track 1 ('Shine On You Crazy Diamond') finishes, you may as well skip forwards to track 8. This way you can trim this bloated double LP to one album of what - at its best - serves as a bland Floyd covers band going through the motions. In the song 'Money', these wealthy rockers lecture about the ills of commerce. Don't waste your money on this ca$h-in album.

Rating: - A fine album....

I think this is an excellent recording, showcasing a fine selection from Pink Floyd's repertoire. The sound quality is fine...maybe too fine actually as most songs sound like note-perfect, error free replicas of the studio versions...hence the four star rating...

Rating: - Thunder Doesn't Rumble Delicate Floyd

After Roger Waters departure in 1985, many critics thought that Pink Floyd were finished. However David Gilmour, Nick Mason and later Richard Wright, decided that their life wasn't over. After their 1987 album 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, Pink Floyd embarked on a near three year long world tour, which began on 9th September 1987, lasting until 30th June 1990 with the charity show at Knebworth. The tour is documented by this album, recorderd between the 19th-23rd of August 1988. With a full backing band of younger musicians, with the exception of Tim Renwick, the band performed a tight show, well recorded. Although songs 'Signs Of Life', 'A New Machine (Part 1&2)', 'Terminal Frost', 'On The Run', 'The Great Gig In The Sky', 'Welcome To The Machine' and 'One Slip', the album features stunning versions of old favourites like 'Money', 'One Of These Days' and 'Comfortably Numb' as well as new songs 'Yet Another Movie', 'Sorrow' and 'On The Turning Away.' With David Gilmour's delicate vocals and lead guitarr, along with Nick Mason's drumming and Richard Wright's keyboards, particulary on 'Money', show that Pink Floyd, are not dead, as they never died in the first place.
