A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour

1987–1989 concert tour by Pink Floyd

A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour was two consecutive concert tours by the English rock band Pink Floyd. The A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour ran from September 1987 to August 1988; the Another Lapse tour ran from May–July 1989. Both tours were in support of their album A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987). The tour was the band's first since The Wall tour in 1981, and also the first without the band's original bassist Roger Waters. The band later reprised the setlist and stage show of this tour for their performance at Knebworth Park in 1990.

History

Initially, there was a great deal of uncertainty around the tour. Pink Floyd had not played live since 1981, and had not embarked on a full-fledged tour since 1977. Roger Waters left the band in 1985, believing the band would not continue. However, Gilmour and Mason decided to continue as Pink Floyd. Waters threatened legal action against Gilmour and Mason, as well as any promoters who promoted shows as "Pink Floyd". However, by the end of 1987, with the success of the album and first stages of the tour, the new lineup had established itself commercially, and the band reached a settlement with Waters in December.

Having the success of The Wall shows to live up to, the concerts' special effects were more impressive than ever. The initial "promotional tour" was extended, and finally lasted almost two years, ending in 1989 after playing around 197 concerts in total, [citation needed] including 3 dates at Madison Square Garden (5–7 October 1987) and 2 nights at Wembley Stadium (5–6 August 1988). The tour took Pink Floyd to various exotic locations they had never played before such as shows in the forecourt of the Palace of Versailles, Moscow's Olympic Stadium, and Venice, despite fears and protests that the sound would damage the latter city's foundations.[3][4] The tour marked the first time that the band played in the Soviet Union, Norway, Spain and New Zealand, and was the first time they had played in Australia since 1971 and Japan since 1972.

Worldwide, the band grossed around US$135 million, making A Momentary Lapse of Reason the highest-grossing tour of the 1980s.[citation needed]

A further concert was held at the Knebworth Festival in 1990, a charity event that also featured other Silver Clef Award winners. Pink Floyd was the last act to play, to an audience of 120,000. During this gig Clare Torry joined Vicki and Sam Brown in providing backing vocals, Candy Dulfer contributing saxophone solos. The £60,000 firework display that ended the concert was entirely financed by the band. These shows are documented by the Delicate Sound of Thunder album, video and Live at Knebworth '90 video. Video of both the Venice and Knebworth concerts were released on Blu-Ray and DVD in The Later Years boxset.[5][6]

Grand Canal, Venice, 15 July 1989 – Live TV concert

See also: Pink Floyd in Venice: A Concert for Europe

This was a special performance on a floating platform,[3] for live Italian TV and was also broadcast worldwide. Due to time restrictions of live TV some songs were left out and others shortened in places. Before the concert, city authorities were so worried about the effects of loud amplified music on the ancient structures of the city that Pink Floyd agreed to play more quietly than usual.[4] The influx of 200,000 fans into the city, and the outcry arising from the mountains of litter left behind and the inevitable consequences of the lack of toilet facilities, led to the entire city council resigning after the concert.[4]

'The Venice show was great fun, but it was very tense and nerve-wracking. We had a specific length of show to do; the satellite broadcasting meant we had to get it absolutely precise. We had the list of songs, and we'd shortened them, which we'd never done before. I had a big clock with a red digital read-out on the floor in front of me, and had the start time of each number on a piece of paper. If we were coming near the start time of the next number, I just had to wrap up the one we were on. We had a really good time, but the city authorities who had agreed to provide the services of security, toilets, food, completely reneged on everything they were supposed to do, and then tried to blame all the subsequent problems on us.'
