The 1987/88 Pink Floyd World Tour Programme was the official souvenir booklet available to fans during the band’s extensive “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour, which ran from 1987 to 1989. This tour marked a significant era for Pink Floyd, as it was their first major series of concerts without founding member Roger Waters. The programme was designed to enhance the concert experience and serve as a keepsake for attendees.

Key features of the tour programme included:

    • Photographs showcased the elaborate stage design, including the iconic circular screen, sophisticated lighting rigs, and visual effects that were hallmarks of the tour.
  • Band Member Profiles:
    • In-depth biographies and interviews provided insights into each member’s contributions and perspectives.
    • Discussions about the creation of A Momentary Lapse of Reason, the decision to continue as Pink Floyd without Waters, and reflections on their musical journey.
  • Supporting Musicians and Crew:
    • Introductions to additional touring personnel, including:
      • Guy Pratt (bass guitar), who filled in for bass duties and later became a long-term collaborator.
      • Jon Carin (keyboards, vocals), contributing to the band’s rich soundscapes.
      • Tim Renwick (guitars), Gary Wallis (percussion), Scott Page (saxophones), adding depth to live performances.
    • Acknowledgments of the technical crew and support staff whose efforts were crucial to the tour’s success.
