PINK FLOYD - EAST RUTHERFORD 1987 - So Many Roads

So Many Roads says:

1987 - 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 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 world wide and wouldn't end until after 200 performances for an audience of 4.25 million fans. This soundboard captures the band that tour, on October 11, 1987, 35 years ago today, in East Rutherford.
