Pink Floyd

In August 1968, during the live performance of "Astronomy Domine" at the Kastival festival in Kasterlee, Belgium, Pink Floyd was on the cusp of major breakthroughs in their career. They had recently released their debut album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," in August 1967, which established their presence in the psychedelic rock scene. By 1968, the band was actively touring and showcasing their avant-garde sound, which was heavily influenced by the UK's burgeoning psychedelic culture. The performance of "Astronomy Domine," a key track on their debut album, exemplifies their experimental style and prominence in the live music circuit of that era. Interestingly, this period also marked the beginning of their shift towards more complex compositions and conceptual storytelling, which would culminate in later works such as "The Dark Side of the Moon."
