Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
In the late 1980s, Pink Floyd came roaring back with a decent studio album and an awesome stadium tour. Delicate Sound is a postcard from that tour that has the impossible task of capturing the spectacle of flying pigs and crashing beds. Also without the brood and bass of the departed Roger Waters, even a large backing band can't recreate the majesty of the original recording of 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond.' Still 'On the Turning Away,' from A Momentary Lapse of Reason, sounds better than the studio version and a smattering of Floyd's best cuts from The Wall and Darkside of Moon make this live album a decent collection. --Greg Emmanuel

Rating:  - BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER RECORDED, TRUE.........
What am I saying?
Yes, On the Turning Away done live on this album is without question the summit of great lead guitar work. Gilmour bleeds his Strat and blends it with power chords that weaken the knees. Best lead guitar song ever recorded. Stack it against any, and I mean any, guitar solo. There seems to be a "how fast can he play?" or "how complicated can he get?" mentality in music in the past decades. On the Turning Away is hard evidence that quality and craftmanship cannot be rushed. ... Read More
Rating:  - Robotic Sound of Thunder
Until they hit it big with Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd were very much a live band; "A Saucerful of Secrets", "Careful with That Axe Eugene", "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Interstellar Overdrive" each got a dry run in the studio, but it was on stage that the magic really happened. When the band became extremely popular, Floyd shows became increasingly scripted. By the time the group recorded this album, in the late 80s, little of the energy and excitement of the group's early days ... Read More

Best Pink Floyd Live out there, to bad all the original members could get there * together.
Rating: - Excellent
Bought this one along with Pulse on DVD. Very nice, this one has an incredible version of "On the Turning Away" and features many classic Floyd hits.
I like the version of "Run Like Hell" as sung by David Gilmour and Guy Pratt on this and Pulse vs. the album version and the few youtube live bootlegs I've seen. It seems much more intense and fitting with the theme of the song.
Rating: - What can I say
As with any Pink Floyd connoisseur I shied away from the live recroded albums. This one change my mind at least when it comes to Pink Floyd. This is not my first copy of Delicate Sound of Thunder, the first one worn out so there was a need for the replacement.
If you are just getting started into Pink Floyd I would suggest Dark Side of The Moon as the starter album.
For a group which has had no number 1 hits Pink Floyd does have a lot of staying power.
