Quick Takes: Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel

Pink Floyd's 1989 concert film Delicate Sound Of Thunder, will make its theatrical debut for one night only on October 15th in North American movie houses. The film, which like the band's 1988 soundtrack album, caught David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason and their band at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum while on tour in support of the previous year's A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. Last year, a reissue of the concert film came as part of Pink Floyd’s box set, The Later Years 1987-2019.
- A new, remixed and re-edited version of the film has been prepped for the upcoming theatrical release. Tickets go on sale on August 27th. For more info, log on here: https://www.delicatesoundofthunder.com/ (Jambase)
