Editorial Review:
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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
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.
Rating: - THE BEST ALBUM EVER!
This album has all your favorites on 2 CD's, and was recorded right when David Gilmour's voice was at its best. Awesome.
Rating:  - It's decent... but it's totally pointless. Stick to the originals
It's sad to see Pink Floyd as a mere crowd-pleasing dinosaur act, but that's exactly what you get. See, nothing about the music contained herein is bad - if this was my first Floyd purchase, I'd probably give it a high rating. But I've been exposed to a lot more of the group's work than this, and I can safely say that there's one key problem with it: In order to keep the crowd pleased, Pink Floyd decides to show them just how good they are at re-creating the studio versions of the old classics like ...

Rating: - Between good and bad
This album is both good and bad. It is good because it Has alot of my favorite Floyd songs such as: "On the Turning Away", "Wish You Were Here", "Comfortably Numb", and "Time". It is bad because it is ruined by "The Dogs of War" and "Round and Around" two of the worst Pink Floyd songs i have ever heard. "One of These Days", "Yet Another Movie", and "Learning to Fly" are Ok but far from great. I have to say this though David Gilmour's vocals are alot Better than Roger Waters'.
