Pink Floyd

In March 1973, when Pink Floyd performed at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, they were riding the wave of significant commercial success following the release of their album "Obscured by Clouds," which had come out in June 1972. This album served as the soundtrack for the French film "La Vallée," and showcased the band's evolving sound during their early progressive rock phase. By this time, Pink Floyd was beginning to establish a more complex and atmospheric approach to their music, which would culminate in their iconic projects like "The Dark Side of the Moon," released later that year in March 1973. Interestingly, the live performance captured in the recording features "Echoes," a track that would later appear on the album "Meddle." This concert not only highlights the band's live improvisational style but also marks a transitional moment in their artistic journey, as they were on the cusp of becoming one of the most influential bands in rock history.
