Gilmour’s guitar work on that album gives me chills just thinking about it. Even after 30 years, Marooned still teleports my mind to some deserted island every time I hear it.
I realize this may be a bit of a stretch for some, but an artist called Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza took the opening track Cluster One and made a sprawling 17-minute piece combining portions of the song with his own ambient additions… It’s a track called “Polydreaming Mall” from their album Transversal Worldwide Shopping… I’ve enjoyed listening to it many times: https://underwater-computing.bandcamp.com/track/polydreaming-mall
It was! The drum set was incredible. They had a 4 piece choir of really talented singers in the background. It was an incredible show. I was young but it made a real impression. They even flashed back and did the giant pigs falling from the towers. I’ll never forget that night.
You’re quite welcome! I found that CD in the ditch on a bicycle ride one day in my teens. Two songs were already my favorites, but finding that CD, with no scratches even, was one of my best finds.
Was, is, and probably always will be…
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell

For real, that track is just 😙🤌 Gilmour might be my favorite guitarist.
Division Bell was a big one for me too.

I took in this concert back then. It was a really great show.
Damn, I imagine it was!

Of course I had to archive it!
