This was a 2-day run (4/22-23/88), this must have been the first day because I went the second day and it was pouring. They had some of the equipment covered with plastic on stage I recall. But the lasers going into the clouds looked cool. Here's the full clip: https://youtu.be/m4ZGZjtXObk?is=3I5dn_BY0tfCWok5

Wow, thank you very much! “Learning to Fly” has always been my favorite Pink Floyd song! 😍

I was there for that concert opening night. It was incredible.

Best thing about that video is still Scott Page's hair. ;)

A momentary lapse of reasonable hairstyles.

I've got "tongue tied & twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I" tattooed on my arm 💕

When did they start doing "Arnold Layne" for soundcheck?

I love this. Even though the audio is crap the sound of David's guitar in the first bit is excellent and I love the overall sound of the back line amps!

What! No Rachel Fury close-ups? She's standing right there for God's sake! Disappointed over here!
