Pink Floyd

In late 1968, Pink Floyd was on the verge of significant transformation as they transitioned from their early psychedelic sound to more complex musical themes. Just prior to the live recording of "Flaming" on October 31, 1968, the band released their second studio album, "A Saucerful of Secrets," in June of that year. This album marked the first to include contributions from guitarist David Gilmour, who had joined the band earlier that year. The performance at L’Antenne du Chapiteau du Kremlin-Bicetre in Paris occurred during a period when Pink Floyd was beginning to garner greater recognition, particularly in France, due to their experimental sound and visual performances. The track "Flaming," showcasing their avant-garde style, reflects the band's early experimental ethos and served as a precursor to their later, more intricate works. The live recording was part of the television program "Tous en Scene," highlighting Pink Floyd's growing media presence.
