Pink Floyd concert video taken from the 20 October 1994 concert at Earls Court, London, England in The Division Bell Tour. It was originally released on VHS and Laserdisc in 1995. David Gilmour – guitar, vocals Nick Mason – drums, percussion, vocal phrase (recording) Rick Wright – Hammond organ, synthesiser Guy Pratt – bass guitar Gary Wallis – percussion, extra drums on Pulse Tim Renwick – rhythm guitar Jon Carin – synthesiser, must not forget the ladies backing up Floyd ! Sam Brown – backing vocals Durga McBroom – backing vocals, Claudia Fontaine – backing vocals "Learning to Fly" is a song by written by David Gilmour, Anthony Moore, Bob Ezrin, and Jon Carin. It was the first single from the band's thirteenth studio album A Momentary Lapse of Reason. The lyrics describe Gilmour's thoughts on flying, for which he has a passion (being a licensed pilot with multiple ratings),[citation needed] though it has also been interpreted as a metaphor for beginning something new, experiencing a radical change in life, or, more specifically, Gilmour's feelings about striking out as the new leader of Pink Floyd after the departure of Roger Waters. The track was regularly performed live on the band's two post-Roger Waters tours, with touring guitarist Tim Renwick playing the song's guitar solos (although David Gilmour played the solos on the studio version of the track).
