Pink Floyd

In March 1973, during the live recording at the Municipal Auditorium in Atlanta, Pink Floyd was riding high on the success of their album *Obscured by Clouds*, which had been released just a few weeks earlier in January. This album served as a soundtrack for the film *La Vallée*, marking a period of transition for the band as they were moving towards their groundbreaking work *The Dark Side of the Moon*, which would be released later that year. The Atlanta performance showcased the band's experimental sound and atmospheric style, particularly with tracks like "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," a testament to their psychedelic roots. Notably, this era also highlighted Pink Floyd's evolving stage presence, as their live shows began incorporating elaborate visual elements which would later define their concerts. The recording encapsulates a pivotal moment in the band's journey, bridging the gap between their earlier works and the monumental legacy they would soon establish.
