Pink Floyd

In April 1970, when Pink Floyd performed "Astronomy Domine" at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, the band was in a transitional phase of their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their seminal album "Atom Heart Mother," which came out in October 1970. At this time, Pink Floyd was gaining recognition for their innovative music and elaborate live shows, allowing them to carve a niche in the progressive rock genre. The performance was notable as it was filmed for a local television broadcast by KQED, reflecting the band's eagerness for publicity and expanded audience reach. This show showcased not only their musical prowess but also the band's tendency towards artistic experimentation, indicative of their future landmark works. The live recording demonstrates Pink Floyd's early development into a prominent musical force, underpinned by their evolving sound and ambitious multimedia projects.
