Pink Floyd - 1988-08-20 - Nassau Coliseum, NY (SBD)

Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of reason, was the band's first without long time member Roger Waters. The recording of the album was marked by ongoing legal battles between David Glimour and Waters over the rights to the name "Pink Floyd". In the end, Gilmour won the legal war and the right to use the name "Pink Floyd" in perpetuity. None of the legal issues, nor the absence of Waters, seemed to matter to the band's fans. The album went to #3 in both the US and UK. Pink Floyd launched a North American in 1987, even before the album was complete and shows sold out instantly. The tour quickly went worldwide and wouldn't end until after 200 performances for an audience of 4.25 million fans. Here's a excellent soundboard of the band's performance on August 20, 1988, 3 decades ago today, from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island. Take a listen and see for yourself how Gilmour's version of Pink Floyd compares to the Water's take on the band.
