DARK SIDE BROADCAST FROM FLOYD’S 1972 US TOUR
• Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon Tour took place in 1972 and 1973 in support of their album of the same name, covering the UK,
US, Europe and Japan. There were two separate legs promoting the album, one in 1972 before the release date and another in 1973
afterwards, together covering 128 shows.
• Pink Floyd planned their first UK wide tour since 1969, for the start of 1972. They were worried that their stage show was becoming
stale, and decided they needed a new piece of music for the upcoming tour. Shortly after the release of the album Meddle, the group
booked Decca Studios, Hampstead from 29 November – 10 December 1971 to write new material that would form part of a stage
show, to be called The Dark Side Of The Moon.
• Playing 89 shows in 1972, Pink Floyd debuted the new suite live on 20 January at the Brighton Dome. Partway through, when playing
‘Money’, a lack of power led to the backing tape slowing down and going out of time, causing the group to stop. After a break, they
came back and played ‘Atom Heart Mother’ instead. The first complete performance was the following day at the Portsmouth Guildhall.
At the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, the power failed 25 minutes into the show, and the rest of the concert was abandoned.
• Following the European shows, recording began on The Dark Side of the Moon on 24 May 1972, beginning with basic backing tracks
derived from the live versions.
• The tour moved to the US in September. Engineer Alan Parsons was asked to run the front of house sound, setting a trend for Pink
Floyd inviting studio personnel out on tour. On 22 September 1972, the group played the Hollywood Bowl, which featured eight
powered searchlights beaming rays from behind the Bowl's amphitheatre. One of the few dates on the tour to be broadcast, the show
was transmitted live on FM Radio and is now available in its entirety on this new 2CD set.
