Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour Interview (Part 1 / 2)

[@jamesgriffiths8587]

I saw the Momentary Lapse tour in '87. I was 16, had been a Floyd fan since 1979, and had never been to a gig of any kind until that point. It was, and remains, one of the greatest nights of my life.

[@kasiadudziak3802]

I was 4 years old when I started to listen to Pink Floyd :)

[@kasiadudziak3802]

I would die for one concert Pink Floyd. Where is the devil? I need to sign contract

[@babylemonade2868]

Saw them in 1988 in Perth I was 13. First ever concert and a great way to start

[@rsdrt]

I love PF and will never have the chance to see them live :(

[@samuelluria4744]

Where???

[@sallybrown8038]

hey!!! No dissing The Floyd.I'm old and I still cover my bedroom walls with Floyd art!!....monster sized young shirtless Gilmour framed pics...I don't know about y'all, but since the Passing of Richard Wright I can't listen to "Turning The Inside Out" without tears as it reminds me that I will Never Ever see them together in concert again and it breaks my heart!!! Pink Floyd, the greatest rock band this world will ever know!...

[@samuelluria4744]

6:26 - David says they're not "anticipating making a lot of profit"....and the background reaction from Nick is priceless...😂😂😂

“They’re just so relieved Roger’s gone.” AHHHHHHH

[@strongestfan9823]

Alex B I think roger got so far left wing people around him couldn’t stand it and when all his music he wrote was a left wing winge that was it he had to go. Compare the final cut to momentary laps of reason David got pink floyd back on track in my view

[@NolanEgbert]

The politics really had nothing to do with the split, they're all self admittingly very left leaning. What drove the wedge was the fact that Roger felt Pink Floyd was his writing, and Gilmour felt it was his musicianship. Add on a clash of ego's, lawsuits, and general nastiness that made their relationship irreparable

[@Diggnuts]

@@NolanEgbert And Gilmore was right. Most people could not give two tosses about the lyrics even if they could understand them. Waters was a pretentious cock.

[@kevh5487]

Roger was the Maggie Thatcher of the band

[@FoulBodyAutopsy]

It's always a relief to get away from toxic people and carry on without all that nonsense!

[@annahanford6743]

David Gilmour at 7.22 😂😂 Honestly 😂😂 I am forever quoting him on that😂😂

[@cathdodd5072]

Bloody hell - Nick looks like Lee Mack with a perm!

[@kasiadudziak3802]

Waters couldnt stand that David and the rest of the band could get sucses without him. The worst thing for Waters was return Rick to Pink Floyd. And good. That was good David ' s move.

[@asteroideb54]

la jalousie n'a pas sa place dans un groupe aussi mythique que pink floyd, tank you DAVID

[@luciadelia5607]

David and Nick were not being sarcastic but were being truthful.

[@kasiadudziak3802]

It was great

[@joaovitorsabadin5039]

Great footage, of a amazing moment to be remembered, when Pink Floyd came back after Roger leaves the band

[@b.justiceforall9544]

A joke is a joke and what's said is what makes it funny and yes "we were relieved Roger chose to go". Looking back for a 1968 fan to 2022 we were first devastated but when we new Pink Floyd would go on we were in bliss. Thankyou so much David, Nick and latter Rick.

[@denisedillon9727]

I seen two shows on this tour, 18 yrs old, free tickets. I 💖 David Gilmour

[@sthnwatch]

Fantastic interview. It gives insight into their personalities 'coz they're still young but you can see that they're maturing. They've lost, or overcome, the arrogance they possessed (or that possessed them) when they were so young during the Dark Side & Wish You Were Here era. They're obviously extremely intelligent young men & they've also got this sublime wit come through in their talk. I love these guys. They're so cool! Their music is inspirational! Thanks for this.

[@s.r.345]

Seen Pink Floyd live 5 times in my life and believe me there is no concert that ever tops a Floyd show between the music the sound and the effects top notch all the time

[@karimmiladi6078]

I have a feeling that Dave is High AF haha thank you guys for keeping the Pink Floyd name and making possibly the best 2 live shows ever done in History

This is coke David right here. By the time Division Bell was recorded and released he was off of it thankfully.

What does he say? I cannot get it.

[@pjtheory]

I recently discovered an interesting interview with Gilmour which took place prior to their 1987 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour. My favorite part of the interview involved Waters' litigation against Gilmour and Mason and his predilection for taking all of the credit for Pink Floyd's immense success. GILMOUR: It's a joke, he won't stop us. There is no question about it, there is not really a struggle. I mean, there is a cute idea that, uh, that I keep reading about that he did it all and he wrote all sorts of songs that he didn't write...life's too short to sit around about those sorts of things.

[@MattKittredge2112]

Nick reminds me of Eric Idle in this video, LOL

[@knockedoutloaded279]

It is,,he toured with Floyd in 87.88, and co-wrote a lot of the album...

[@Guitcad1]

The guy on the speaker announcing phone calls sounds like some of the between-song voices on some of their albums. I wonder if he was trying to sneak in an audition. lol!

[@richf8972]

I saw PF, after I saw Roger Waters do his show, and David Gilmore kept PF, right up there with a fantastic light show, and visual effects and sound quality.

[@swinetrek]

His name is GILMOUR.

[@Proganthony]

Just because Roger wrote the lyrics, it weren't automatically Roger's songs. Most songs they played where co-compositions. For example, the title track of Wish you were here was a poem of Roger, for which David wrote ALL music.

[@swinetrek]

Waters claimed lyrics that were not his Comfortbly Numb for instance and later Nick and David both said Richard wrote almost all of Us and Them for Zabriskie Point and all the other 3 did was help with the production.

[@Arfabiscuit]

Saw them twice on this tour awesome

[@BeeBumper]

20 bucks a ticket??? I went to one of the Toronto shows, floor seats and it was almost a hundred bucks

[@StreetSceneLive]

Did you buy them off the 2nd hand scalper market? Because my ticket for the Philly show on May 15th 1988 in the first level with a clear view across from the stage was only in the 20 something dollar range... And that was an awesome seat. The tickets were still way cheaper then... I can see how closer floor seats might've gone for considerably more on the secondary market though.

[@badqual]

LOVE YOU PINK FLOYD

[@mattaki]

my ticket to see them in chicago in 1987 was $22.50, which seemed unprecedented at the time!

[@songspire]

is this after the right to use the trademark PINK FLOYD was legally allowed to be used by Gilmour and Mason?

[@pinkfreud62]

"They're just so relieved Rogers gone."

[@stevecarey8671]

He said "they're so relieved Roger's gone!" THEN WHY WERE YOU OUT THERE PLAYING AND SINGING ROGER'S SONGS? May i add that i regard Gilmour as being a worthy guitar icon, but to drop Roger Water's name in that fashion is very unprofessional, Giving the fact that Roger Waters was a founder member. Am i wrong ???? P.S. I think all Foyd members were crucial in the whole back-catalogue recordings.

[@mrcravinggaming4600]

You've got to be able to separate the art from the person. Roger was an asshole, he said it himself. He left the band and then when the rest of the band tried to go on, roger sued his own band. Roger may have written most of the lyrics, but the sound of the music is a team effort. On the pulse tour, david thanked roger for the lyrics he is able to sing. David was joking obviously, that remark shouldn't be the only thing you take away from this interview.

[@Watcher4111]

Well you dont know that songs on Datk side were cowritten with other members

because it became a dictatorship. Richard had already lost his job and Nick was heard to be the next one. When Roger left, it went back to mates making music, and even though I didn't like the Momentary Lapse of Reason stuff (drum machine BLAH!) I think that is sort of cool.
