"The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid)" is the closing track from Roger Waters' second studio album, Radio K.A.O.S.

Waters then recorded and added "The Tide Is Turning" to give the album a more optimistic finish.

It was released as a CD single that included a live version of the Pink Floyd song "Money", written by Waters for their highly successful studio album The Dark Side of the Moon (1973).

Waters performed "The Tide Is Turning" with Joni Mitchell, Cyndi Lauper, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison with the Band and Paul Carrack and the Rundfunk Orchestra & Choir in the 1990 concert, The Wall – Live in Berlin.

Although not shown on the track list of the album, "Outside the Wall" is affixed to the end of "The Tide Is Turning."
