With the 25th anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound of Thunder upon us, celebrating the Momentary Lapse tour of the late 1980s, it seemed a perfect time to share the following article with you. In 1989, as part of the Another Lapse tour that year, Pink Floyd played their first concerts in Moscow.

With the delicate financial situation there at the time, the band were offered goods in lieu of cash for staging the concerts - as you'll see below, much to David Gilmour's shock, they were offered items such as wood, oil, and black caviar for their services! The majority of the ordinary people in Russia were unable to get tickets - even if they could afford them - but as you'll see below, in Dasha Dykhanovska's kind translation of Alexander's article, there were ways to get around this, as unpaid government workers... Or Gilmour Behind the Wall of Olimpiyskiy Article by: Alexander Zheleznov (aka Raven) In 1989, I worked as a principal engineer at the Radio Technical Research Institute, which was situated in Dzerzhinsky district of Moscow.

It's an important point, since Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex is situated in the same district. When I found out that Pink Floyd were coming to Moscow and that they will perform at 'Olimpiyskiy', I enrolled in the People's Volunteer Squads straight away.

It's a kind of a squad, compulsory but made to appear as voluntary, which in Soviet times helped police at large evening time events. It was unpaid work, but volunteers got two additional days off and an opportunity to be on duty at some interesting events, like concerts and film festivals.

Although I was much older than police helpers usually are, the squad leader was a friend, so I was accepted without any problem. There was only one reason for such enthusiasm about public safety: our enterprise was constantly on duty at all 'Olimpiyskiy' events. Ticket price at the touts' was up to 100 roubles while face value was 9-10 roubles!

I couldn't miss a chance to attend ALL Pink Floyd concerts for free and be in ANY part of the hall I like. At that time tickets for rare concerts of foreign stars were distributed among city councils, district committees, Komsomol and other "public servants'" gatherings. There were 'All tickets sold out' announcements up at the ticket offices, but the tickets hadn't even been on sale!   I remember when we were on watch in turns for two days at 'Russia Hall' ticket office, where Elton John had to perform. Only two tickets per person, so only the first fifty buyers were lucky.  

On the 3rd of June, at 5pm, two hours 'till the beginning of the first Pink Floyd concert in Moscow, there was a preliminary gathering in front of Olimpiyskiy (by the way, the only (! It was just a simple inscription against a white background saying: "Pink Floyd concert (UK)", the dates, the time the concert starts and that's all!

), there was a document check (volunteer squad IDs) in order to prevent unauthorized people entering. There was also a briefing with examples of passes to different areas, so that we would know, whom to let in. Listening to Pink Floyd for 15 years, not even dreaming of ever seeing them live (now you can buy a ticket and fly wherever you want, but then… After that, we were let into the hall and assigned to our posts. yeah, today's youth won't understand it, thank God), but there they were – in the flesh, literally 5 metres from me, in a completely empty hall (the audience was let in 40 minutes before the beginning)!

We went into the hall, and inside Pink Floyd were playing an excerpt from 'Learning To Fly'! 'Delicate Sound…' VHS had just came out and it wasn't on sale in Moscow yet, so no one had any idea of what awaited us. I even had an impression that they were playing just for me! Just when we were let in (there were fifty of us, from different squads), Gilmour angrily asked over speakers why the audience had been let in early. One of the organizers ran onto the stage with a translator and told him that we were the security.

David cooled and they played different excerpts without vocals for another fifteen minutes.
