Pink Floyd - One Slip (Live At The Oakland Coliseum, April 22nd 1994)

A VERY rare performance of 'One Slip' on the 'Division Bell' Tour. During the previous 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason' World Tour 1987- 88 and the 1989 'Another Lapse' Tour, 'One Slip' was performed every night as the first encore. The only songs from 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason' to make it to the regular et in 1994 was the "hits", 'Learning To Fly' and 'On The Turning Away' along with a stunning 'Sorrow', every other song off that album was shelved, until the second of three nights at the Oakland Coliseum during the North American leg of the 'Division Bell' World Tour, where the band decided to try out 'One Slip'. Sound and picture is quite good, but the song doesn't sound as powerful as it did back in the late 80's, when they did it then, but still very enjoyable to watch. Pink Floyd is infamous for concerts at the Oakland Coliseum. In 1977 they suddendly decided to do 'Careful With That Axe Eugene' as a final encore, which they hadn't done for nearly five years at that time. Enjoy!

I attended this very show.

Thanks for the memories

I much prefer this performance compared to their 1987-1989 tours. That tour lacked the same emotion of the 94 one in my opinion. Thanks very much for this rare performance.

A real shame this wasn't played more on the tour. This could even have made the PULSE DVD on the Bootlegging the Bootleggers segment sitting comfortably (numb)* alongside that other rarity which made it to the DVD - Marooned.

*Apologies for the incredibly bad joke.

Love the bass going real deep 03:30

@thedoomguru No worries! :) Yes, it's often labelled on the back cover of bootlegs. 'One Slip' has been misidentified as 'One Of These Days', and 'Lost For Words' as 'Poles Apart' or 'Coming Back To Life', that's why so many think they were played more that they actually was, that and the combination of sloppy research from various Floyd authors unfortunatly. In 1994, they did the "hits" from 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason', plus the climax number, 'Sorrow'. In 1987-89 'One Slip' was a hit too...

[thedoomguru]

@SilverTounge85 Yeah I thought that could be the case. That's why I said to my knowledge. Could be hopeful thinking on my part. In that case that is a pretty lousy bootlegger if they can't even identify the song right. One Slip has a very unique sound compared to some of the songs on The Division Bell. On the positive note though it did make it much more climactic doing it one time. Admittedly that would have been a great bang for the ending gig. You talked to guy though? Thats cool :)

[SilverTounge85]

@thedoomguru And the band only performed 'Lost For Words' 5 times during the tour. 4 times during the US leg, and once at Earls Court, not "8 or 9 times". 2 of the touring bandmembers have confirmed it was only once they did it, infront of an audience that is. I have the audio bootleg of the very last show, and they didn't do that song. As I said, there are sloppy authors out there, that has either been misled about the true setlist, or is making it up, and there are wrong tracklists on bootlegs

[SilverTounge85]

@thedoomguru Sorry, that is wrong. Both Jon Carin and Guy Pratt, I've talked to Guy personally, has said that 'One Slip' was only done once. They had rehearsed the song before one of the Oakland concerts, and decided to go ahead with it.

'One Slip' is mentioned in one of those PF books that shows the setlists to most of their concerts since the 70's to the 90's, and it is mentioned that it was done twice, but it is wrong. Same book claims that 'Lost For Words' was played "8 or 9-times.".

[thedoomguru]

@SilverTounge85 Actually they did One Slip twice on this tour to my knowledge. Look at the final show they ever did to close the tour done in Earls Court on 1994-10-29. They fit One Slip in between Keep Talking, and Coming Back To Life on that one. I doubt very highly that anyone has the video for that though, however I would LOVE to see that.

I was there , I lived in Stockton at the time . I waited in line for 24 hours to get the tikets . The disco ball was on a crane , and it was bigger than my house !

@turbovanman

Lucky man.

I saw Roger this year, now any other concert I see will fail in comparison. I'm ruined too.

@Thearmgame

I disagree, I saw them in 87 and nothing compares, I was ruined for life, lol.
