"One Slip" is a song fromPink Floyd's1987 albumA Momentary Lapse of Reason.[1][2]
The album gets its title from a line of this song's lyrics. The song was co-written by David Gilmour andRoxy Music guitaristPhil Manzanera, who later co-produced Gilmour'sOn an Island album and played rhythm guitar on the subsequent tour.
It was first released as the B-side to "Learning to Fly". It was then re-released as the third single from the album in the UK where it was a minor hit and was the fourth single from the album in the US where it did well on theBillboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
"One Slip (2019 remix)" from the box set,The Later Years 1987–2019 was released as a single on 24 October 2019 onSpotify and 25 October 2019 onYouTube andiTunes. The song contains newly recorded drums by Nick Mason and organ parts by Richard Wright lifted from 1987-89 live performances, replacing the song's original drum and keyboard parts.
The track was the final song from the album played live when it was the first encore on theMomentary Lapse of Reason tour from 1987–89. The band resurrected the track on one show on their 1994The Division Belltour when the band performed it inOakland, California.
The video for the track is footage of a vintage 1930s[3] plane flying interspersed with concert clips filmed during the band's three night run atThe Omni inAtlanta,Georgia. The live footage was shot in November 1987 and was directed byLawrence Jordan (who has directed concert films forRush,Mariah Carey andBilly Joel)[citation needed]. Videos for "On the Turning Away" and "The Dogs of War" were also filmed from this concert.
