DARK SIDE BROADCAST FROM PINK FLOYD’S 1972 U.S. 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.
Playing 89 shows in 1972, Pink Floyd debuted the new suite live on 20 January at the Brighton Dome. 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 two-instalment set.
