The 1994 Pink Floyd Division Bell European Tour was a spectacular leg of their final concert tour, supporting their album The Division Bell. The European tour kicked off on July 22, 1994, at Estadio De Alvalade in Lisbon, Portugal, and concluded on October 29, 1994, at Stade De La Pontaise in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Key Highlights:
- Massive Production: The tour featured three enormous stages that leapfrogged across Europe and North America, each 180 feet long with a 130-foot arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl.
- Special Effects: The concerts included custom-designed airships, elaborate lighting, and stunning visual effects.
- Setlist: Pink Floyd performed a mix of classics and newer tracks, including The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety on select nights.
- London Residency: The band played 15 nights at Earls Court Exhibition Hall, though the opening night on October 12 had to be rescheduled due to a seating stand collapse.
- Guest Appearance: On October 28, author Douglas Adams joined the band on stage to play guitar during Brain Damage as a birthday gift.
- Sponsorship: Volkswagen sponsored the European leg, releasing a Golf Pink Floyd Edition with special decals and a premium stereo.
The tour was a massive success, playing to over 5 million people across 68 cities, with an average audience of 45,000 per show. It was also one of the highest-grossing tours in rock history, generating over £150 million worldwide.
