Pink Floyd

On August 9, 1971, Pink Floyd performed live at the Festival Hall in Osaka, Japan, during a pivotal period in their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of their groundbreaking album "Meddle," which was issued on November 5, 1971. "Meddle" featured the ambitious track "Echoes," which would later become a staple of their live performances. At this time, Pink Floyd was transitioning from their earlier psychedelic rock roots towards more complex and often experimental compositions, setting the stage for their landmark albums such as "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here." Notably, the setlist for the Osaka concert showcases some of their earlier works, including "Atom Heart Mother," which reflects the collaborative and orchestral experimentation that characterized this era. This live recording captures a unique moment when the band's sound was evolving dramatically, highlighting their artistic growth and foreshadowing future successes.
