“Take It Back” was actually my least favorite song on the album for the longest time, and I was kind of dismayed when it became the album’s single. I thought it sounded too U2-ish. But it grew on me, and now I like it as much as everything else on the disc. There were a handful of albums that I played to death in college, and The Division Bell was one of them. “Wearing the Inside Out” was my favorite then, and I think it remains my favorite now, though pretty much every other song is a close contender.

It really changed for me when I saw it performed live by Brit Floyd last year. The lights, the backing vocals, everything about it was great.
Sooo much great Floyd I now have a huge inflateable pink pig in the room

And whilst we’re all trading Division Bell stories, I was consumed by that album at the time of release. I managed to get hold of a massive cardboard promo of the artwork which I had on my wall (not The Wall, my wall) for ages and went to see them tour with the album, catching the very last night of the tour at Earl’s Court (RIP). An incredible show – and it was so early in my Pink Floyd career I didn’t know Wish You Were Here at all, so them opening with ‘Shine On…’ was new and mind-blowing to me as a 15 year old kid. I cried during ‘High Hopes’ and then they played the entirety of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ in the second half of the show as well as other classics. A genuinely incredible night and I feel very fortunate to see it.
Speaking of that artwork, I believe the stone statues are still on display at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland.
