Was, is, and probably always will be..
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
Division Bell was a big one for me too.
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
I took in this concert back then. It was a really great show.
Damn, I imagine it was!
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.
Archived. If the link gives you crap, use Firefox..

I already use Firefox so I had no issue. Thanks!
Addendum: If you ever decide to burn that as a CD, you need to remove the default 2 second delay between tracks for the album to play through as intended.
Pink Floyd was always like that, even though they had multiple tracks, their albums were meant to be experienced as a single solid piece of work.
But I'm sure you already knew that. 👍🎶
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.
Of course I had to archive it!
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.
For real, that track is just 😙🤌 Gilmour might be my favorite guitarist.
David Gilmour's On This Island is a perfect album to play right afterwards ;)
