Pink Floyd

On September 17, 1969, when Pink Floyd performed "Cymbaline," they were riding the wave of their influential album "Ummagumma," which was released later that year in November. At this point in their career, the band was transitioning from their earlier psychedelic sound to a more complex progressive rock style. "Cymbaline," a track featured on the live album "Ummagumma," showcases Richard Wright's captivating keyboard work, contributing to the ethereal quality of their performances. Notably, this era marked an experimentation phase for the band as they began incorporating more extended compositions and live improvisation into their shows. The performance captured in the video reflects their evolving sound and stage presence, foreshadowing the ambitious artistry that would culminate in later classic albums like "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here."
