In the late '80s, fans were thirsting for a live spectacle from
Pink Floyd, where they could hear the old tunes and see all the old stunts. That's what they got on the 1987/1988 Pink Floyd world tour, which is documented on the double-disc set
Delicate Sound of Thunder.
David Gilmour's reunited
Floyd (minus
Roger Waters) was intent on re-creating the sound and feel of classic
Floyd, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the oldies feel like the classic records, only with
Gilmour taking each vocal. He and
Floyd deliver well with professional, competent, and often enjoyable music -- an adequate souvenir of the tour. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
