In addition to his instrumental work on the tour, Page provided vocals, e.g., on the live version of the hit ''It's Raining Again'', John Helliwell and Page sang the lower harmonies while Roger Hodgson sang higher harmonies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://fernandoaviles.com/esta-lloviendo-de-nuevo/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150104095956/http://fernandoaviles.com/esta-lloviendo-de-nuevo/|url-status=dead|title=Está lloviendo de nuevo: Supertramp|archive-date=January 4, 2015}}</ref>
Page's tenure with Supertramp was embedded in a transitional period for the band.

Mason referred to Scott Page as "another stage show in his own right."<ref name="Mason 2005 295"/> Page "would be rendered instantly recognizable to fans in even the cheapest stadium seats by his lavish mullet hairstyle."{{sfn|Blake|2008|p=329}} As Pink Floyd historian Mark Blake illustrates in Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd, the band was specifically looking to add "the presence of younger and more flamboyant band members" and Page was a good fit with his "elaborately coiffured" look and a willingness to participate to the fullest extent possible in the band's live performance (often adding the texture of an additional rhythm guitar between saxophone performances).{{sfn|Blake|2008|p=331}} Producer Bob Ezrin would later state that Page "came with the territory” as the band meant for it "to be a more visual show."{{sfn|Blake|2008|p=331}}

Unhappy with the results, the band used footage recorded the following year at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York for what would become ''Delicate Sound of Thunder'': the abandoned Atlanta material circulates widely as a video and an audio bootleg titled Pink Floyd: The Calhoun Tapes and Would You Buy a Ticket to This Show.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn_leklQ5fw |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150522051742/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn_leklQ5fw |archive-date=2015-05-22 |url-status=dead|title=YouTube link|website = YouTube}}</ref> Another performance that circulated as a bootleg version and was finally released officially in 2019 as part of ''The Later Years'' is the live Italian and worldwide broadcast of the band's performance on a barge, on the Grand Canal in Venice in July 1989.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYZb-QZVTVg|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213094336/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYZb-QZVTVg|url-status=dead|title=YouTube link|website = YouTube|archive-date=December 13, 2014}}</ref>

===Post-Pink Floyd music career=== [[File:ScottPage2014TemeculaIntFilmFest.jpg|thumb|upright|Page, performing at the Temecula Valley International Film Festival with Hang Dynasty in 2014.]] Despite his current focus on business endeavors, Page continues to play live and as a session musician.<ref name=ParHang/> After his tenure with Pink Floyd, Page has continued recording with artists as diverse as David Cassidy, Gorky Park, Bob Malone, Eddie Zip, Mickey Raphael, David Lee Roth, Jane's Addiction, and Seth Loveless; he has also played as a guest on a number of Pink Floyd tribute albums.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/artist/scott+page/a/albums.htm&frm=www.cduniverse.com|title= Discography at CD Universe|website=Cduniverse.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.prlog.org/12456539-seth-loveless-to-perform-new-music-at-cooperstown.html|title=Seth Loveless to Perform New Music at Cooperstown|website=PRLog.org|access-date=2020-02-15|archive-date=2020-02-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200215164423/https://www.prlog.org/12456539-seth-loveless-to-perform-new-music-at-cooperstown.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
Along with Supertramp member Carl Verheyen, he is also a founding member of Hang Dynasty, a band that brings together "sidemen" from larger bands and whose membership includes a rotating cast of musicians.<ref name=hangdhis/> In addition to Page and Verheyen, musicians who play or have performed with the band include Jeff Baxter, Ray Brinker, Kal David, Mike Finnigan, Steve Madaio, Ricky Peterson, Leland Sklar, Edgar Winter, Dave Woodford, Kenny Lee Lewis, Billy Peterson, Stephen Kupka and Lee Thornburg.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://hangdynasty.com/members.php|title=Hang Dynasty - Official Band Website|website=Hangdynasty.com|access-date=2016-01-23|archive-date=2016-01-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160120114831/http://hangdynasty.com/members.php|url-status=live}}</ref> The band has also performed with guests musicians including Kenny Aronoff, Reggie McBride and Dianne Steinberg-Lewis.<ref name=ParHang/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pressenterprise.com/2014/09/11/temecula-film-and-music-fest-ready-for-second-act/|title=TEMECULA: Film and Music fest ready for second act|work=Press Enterprise |date=September 11, 2014|access-date=February 15, 2020|archive-date=February 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200215164413/https://www.pe.com/2014/09/11/temecula-film-and-music-fest-ready-for-second-act/|url-status=live}}</ref>
In September 2014, Hang Dynasty headlined the final night of the Temecula Valley International Film Festival. The band's special guest was honoree Alan Parsons.<ref name=ParHang/>
On June 17, 2015, Page made a surprise guest appearance during Brit Floyd's concert at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, California.<ref name=BritFloyd>{{cite web|last1=Lopez-Reyes|first1=Ed|title=Brit Floyd joined by Scott Page at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre|url=http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/brit-floyd-joined-by-scott-page-at-los-angeles-orpheum-th.html|website=Brain Damage - Pink Floyd News Resource|publisher=Matt Johns|date=21 July 2015|access-date=20 January 2016|archive-date=14 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414202235/http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/brit-floyd-joined-by-scott-page-at-los-angeles-orpheum-th.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dPIBPSZbIE |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/6dPIBPSZbIE |archive-date=2021-12-19 |url-status=live|title=Scott Page (Pink Floyd) Money sax solo Live with Brit Floyd (17 June 2015) |publisher=YouTube |date=21 October 2015 |access-date=21 January 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref> He played ''Money'' and ''Us and Them'' with Brit Floyd during his guest appearance.<ref name=BritFloyd/>
==Business: technologist and entrepreneurship== Through his various business and artistic ventures, Page has served as a video game music producer for the ''Ace Ventura'' video game and ''The Lion King'' franchise's ''Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games'' video game, as a composer for the movie ''Three Kinds of Heat'', and as a supervising producer for ''Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time'' video game.<ref name=IMDb/>
===Walt Tucker Productions=== Although Page made a fuller transition into technology entrepreneurship in the computer software industry in 1993 (after founding 7th Level), effectively culminating any potential commitments with Pink Floyd, he had already founded a Los Angeles based audio and video post-production company in 1987 called Walt Tucker Productions (specifically, headquartered in Glendale, California).<ref name="Panettieri 1992 46"/><ref name="In Search of 7th Level"/><ref name="istation"/> He led and managed Walt Tucker Productions even while recording and touring with Pink Floyd. The two efforts overlapped during production of the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" album and the subsequent, promotional A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. Walt Tucker specialized in CD/ROM technology and derived its name from an amalgamation of two of Page's "heroes": Walt Disney and Preston Tucker.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://rockstars.meta4networks.com/rs/scott-page/|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160305002647/http://rockstars.meta4networks.com/rs/scott-page/|archive-date = 2016-03-05|title = Scott Page - BizRockers}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.skeptictank.org/files/en004/newsclip.htm|title=Information Week, Joseph Panettieri Interview with Scott Page at COMDEX 1992|website=Skeptictank.org|access-date=2014-11-17|archive-date=2014-11-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141113145605/http://skeptictank.org/files/en004/newsclip.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
A few years into his tenure as president of Walt Tucker Productions, during a visit to COMDEX in the fall of 1992, Page talked about being at a crossroads with respect to the balance he was beginning to strike between his role as a musician and his role as an entrepreneur and businessman. In an interview with Joseph Panettieri, of Information Week, Page discussed "getting to a point where [he would] have to make a decision about what [he wanted] to dedicate [his] time to." He added: "I've done my music stint. Building an interactive multimedia company is my next challenge. I'm more concerned now about the multimedia business." Despite this, he would also state that (at the time) Pink Floyd may commit to another world tour and that he would find it difficult to "sit that... out."<ref name="Panettieri 1992 46"/>
A special Pink Floyd performance at Knebworth Park on June 30, 1990 (in Stevenage, England) included a number of guest musicians that were not part of the band's regular recording and touring roster. At this event, which is considered the band's last performance on the A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, Candy Dulfer played saxophone.<ref name="brain-damage.co.uk"/> Pink Floyd would not tour again until 1994, at which point Page was fully immersed in business endeavors and limiting his music work to studio sessions and some selected live performances.<ref name=popscience/><ref name="7th Heaven">{{Cite web|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/7th-heaven/|title=7th Heaven|date=May 1, 1996|website=Texas Monthly|access-date=February 15, 2020|archive-date=February 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200215164412/https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/7th-heaven/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://businessrockstars.com/guests/scott-page/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911151750/http://businessrockstars.com/guests/scott-page/|url-status=dead|title=Business Rockstar: This Week's Rockstar Guests: Scott Page, Thursday, September 4th|archive-date=September 11, 2014}}</ref> Ultimately, this would cement Page's performance with Pink Floyd on the penultimate date of the A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour (July 18, of 1989) in Marseille, France, at the Stade Vélodrome, as his last with the band. Saxophonist Dick Parry, who had last recorded with Pink Floyd in 1975, during the Wish You Were Here album production effort and last toured with the band in 1977 during the In The Flesh Tour, rejoined the band for the recording of The Division Bell album as well as The Division Bell Tour that followed.
Page's new focus on entrepreneurship did not mean an end to his partnership with members of the Pink Floyd coterie: Page continued working with Walt Tucker Productions until joining forces with Pink Floyd producer Bob Ezrin to create a new business venture in 1993.
===7th Level=== In 1993, Page formed 7th Level, Inc. with music/entertainment producer Bob Ezrin and Dallas, Texas technology entrepreneur George Grayson, whose first company (Micrografx, Inc.) pioneered PC-based graphics software development in the early 1980's.<ref name="7th Heaven"/><ref name="istation">{{Cite web|url=http://www1.istation.com/en/corpsite/company/mgmt.asp |title=The Imagination Station's management information |access-date=2007-03-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928042547/http://www1.istation.com/en/corpsite/company/mgmt.asp |archive-date=2007-09-28 }}</ref> The company's first software venture was an edutainment product called "Li'l Howie's TuneLand" starring comedian and "Deal Or No Deal" host Howie Mandel. "Tuneland" featured musical performances by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, Yes vocalist/songwriter Jon Anderson, Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers guitarist Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter and other popular musicians on such children's songs as "The Little Green Frog."<ref>{{cite web|first=Robin|last=Raskin |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_7aEwukQQ0AC&q=tuneland+scott+page+mandel&pg=PA30 |title=Starstruck Games; PC Mag |work=PC Mag |date=March 1994 |access-date=17 November 2014}}</ref>
7th Level's flagship product was a CD-ROM software 'edutainment thingie' called "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time." It was produced in 1994 by British comedy troupe's animator and award-winning film director Terry Gilliam, and Ezrin. "Waste Of Time" included such elements as 'The Desktop Pythonizer' and 'Solve The Secret To Intergalactic Success.' The product included video clips from the absurdist icons' seminal BBC-TV series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" as well as new animation from Gilliam.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Ultimate Monty Python Site|periodical=|publisher=|url=https://montycasinos.com/|format=|access-date=2019-12-10|last=|date=|year=|language=en|pages=|quote=|archive-date=2021-04-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210430125050/https://montycasinos.com/|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
===New Media Broadcasting Company=== In 2004, Page launched New Media Broadcasting Company Inc. (NewMBC) www.newmbc.com with silicon valley technology veteran Russ Lujan. Initially NewMBC developed interactive distribution services for content creators and consumers. Its MashCast communications platform connected diverse audiences, artists, content owners through a collaborative online network.
