On March 28, 1994, Pink Floyd released the progressive rock album, The Division Bell, by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and on 4 April by Columbia Records in the United States. Pink Floyd artist Storm Thorgerson
positioned two gigantic heads in a cold wintry field near Ely, Cambridgeshire to
create the iconic album cover shoot in early 1994. The heads were devised by artist Keith Breeden and constructed by John Robertson.
I had the wonderful fortune to see The Division Bell tour in April of 1994 at the Oakland Coliseum. It was the last concert by Pink Floyd as a group. During the concert they performed one of my favorite songs which is actually from A Momentary Lapse of Reason. It was the fantastically beautiful Learning To Fly cut with its glorious choral backup (link below).
The huge metal heads that are on the cover of The Division Bell were shown in an exhibition, Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains, at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Running from Saturday 13th May to Sunday 1st October 2017, the exhibition celebrated the 50th anniversary of the band’s debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and inaugural single Arnold Layne.

And of course, I have a favorite from this album; it is Us & Them. It was written by Richard Wright with lyrics by Roger Waters. It is sung by David Gilmour, with harmonies by Wright. But for me the best part is the beautiful sax played throughout the song by Dick Parry.
The song is 7 minutes, 51 seconds in length, making it the longest on the album. It is slow but ranges from quiet and dreamy to brilliantly dramatic.

I saw them in 1994 at the Oakland Coliseum during their Pulse Tour when they were promoting The Division Bell (link below). There is a link to the video of the performance of Us & Them below.
