'''''Delicate Sound of Thunder''''' is a live album by the English band [[Pink Floyd]]. It was recorded over five nights at the [[Nassau Coliseum]] in [[Uniondale, New York]], in August 1988, during their [[A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour]], and mixed at [[Abbey Road Studios]] in September 1988. It was released on 21 November 1988,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/award/1755-1497-2|title=Radiohead, High & Dry, Single|website=Bpi.co.uk|access-date=22 November 2024}}</ref> through [[EMI Records]] in the UK and [[Columbia Records]] in the United States.

The album was remixed, restored and reissued in December 2019 for ''[[The Later Years 1987–2019]]'' box set. This version included songs that were not present on the original release. In November 2020, it was given a standalone release.

==Release and reissue==
The album was released in 1988 as a double LP, double cassette, and a double CD, each format containing a slightly different track listing.<ref name="Mabbett-3" /> The album includes many works from ''[[A Momentary Lapse of Reason]]'' as well as tracks from older Pink Floyd albums.<ref name="Mabbett-3" /> The double LP release did not have "[[Us and Them (song)|Us and Them]]" on the track listing. Both the double LP and the double cassette had "[[Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd song)|Wish You Were Here]]" between "[[Another Brick in the Wall#Part 2|Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)]]" and "[[Comfortably Numb]]".<ref name="Mabbett-3" />

Although David Gilmour stated around the time of its release and on a radio interview in 1992 that the album contained no studio [[overdubbing]] whatsoever, he embellished the tracks during mixing with some extra acoustic guitar on "Comfortably Numb", according to engineer Buford Jones. In addition, some harmonies were replaced by studio re-takes: Richard Wright re-did his vocal on "Time" and [[Sam Brown (singer)|Sam Brown]] replaced [[Rachel Fury]]'s part in "Comfortably Numb"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/band/interviews/art-rev/art-sos4.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20061021030659/http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/band/interviews/art-rev/art-sos4.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=2006-10-21|title=Pink Floyd and Company - Pink Floyd Articles and Reviews|date=21 October 2006|access-date=22 November 2024}}</ref> but the rest of the album is as performed at the shows.

Along with ''[[A Collection of Great Dance Songs]]'', ''Delicate Sound of Thunder'' was reissued on 180g heavyweight vinyl LP in November 2017.<ref name="TeamRock">{{cite web|url=http://teamrock.com/news/2017-10-10/pink-floyds-delicate-sound-of-thunder-set-for-vinyl-reissue|title=Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound Of Thunder set for vinyl reissue|date=10 October 2017|access-date=12 October 2017}}</ref> Its artwork replicates that of the original 1988 LP release.

An expanded version of the live album was included in ''[[The Later Years 1987–2019]]'' box set in 2019. Previously unreleased tracks include "Signs of Life," "A New Machine (Part 1)", "Terminal Frost", "A New Machine (Part 2)", "Welcome to the Machine", and "One Slip". All tracks were remixed for the 2019 reissue.

==Commercial performance and reception==
''Delicate Sound of Thunder'' reached #11 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]]. It was certified gold and platinum on 23 January 1989 and triple platinum in April 1997. In Canada, it was #57 in the 1989 year-end chart.[http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/028020/f2/nlc008388.6625.pdf]

In December 2020, the album reentered the Billboard album chart at #76, thanks to sales of the deluxe reissue.

''[[Musician (magazine)|Musician]]'' reviewer [[J. D. Considine]] wrote simply: "Further proof that you can't listen to a light show."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=J.D.|last=[[J. D. Considine|Considine]]|title=Delicate Sound of Thunder|magazine=[[Musician (magazine)|Musician]]|date=February 1989}}</ref>

''Delicate Sound of Thunder'' became the first album to be played in space, when [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[Astronaut|cosmonaut]]s took it aboard [[Soyuz TM-7]]. David Gilmour and Nick Mason attended the mission's launch.<ref name="Mabbett-3">{{Cite book| publisher = Omnibus| isbn = 978-1-84938-370-7| last = Mabbett| first = Andy| title = [[Pink Floyd: The Music and the Mystery]] | location = London| date = 2010}}</ref>

==2019 reissue==
{{Main|The Later Years 1987–2019}}
''Delicate Sound of Thunder'' was reissued on CD on 13 December 2019 as part of the box set ''[[The Later Years 1987–2019]]'' along with the [[Delicate Sound of Thunder (film)|film of the same name]]. The album has been remixed and remastered and includes tracks omitted from the original 1988 release. A standalone release was released on 20 November 2020 on 2 CD, triple LP, and CD/DVD/BD box set which includes the 2019 cut of the film.

In the 2019 remix, the songs "Sorrow", "On the Turning Away" and "Comfortably Numb" have longer guitar solos by Gilmour than in the 1988 original; "The Dogs of War" has a longer intro; "Money" has been condensed, removing Guy Pratt's bass solo and the female ''a cappella'' section; "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" has extra elements (lifted from 1989 tour recordings) added in - most notably an extra ''"hey teacher!"'' between Gilmour's and Renwick's guitar solos; "Us and Them" has a piano added to the intro; much of the echo has been removed from Wallis' electronic drums during "Learning to Fly"; "Run Like Hell" has an extended intro and now includes Gilmour thanking the audience; and "Time" guitar's intro starts sooner within the "tic-tac" (as performed on Pulse) than the 1988 original.

"Learning to Fly", "Us and Them", and "Run Like Hell" from the 2019 remix are also included in the 2019 compilation album ''[[The Later Years 1987–2019#The Later Years 1987–2019 Highlights|The Later Years 1987–2019 Highlights]]'', released on 29 November 2019.
