During the live performance on June 28, 1975, at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton, Canada, Pink Floyd was in the midst of their "Wish You Were Here" tour, promoting their recently released album of the same name, which came out in September 1975. This period was highly significant for the band as they were transitioning into their most commercially successful phase, following the profound impact of "The Dark Side of the Moon" (released in 1973). The setlist from this era often included iconic tracks such as "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," a tribute to former band member Syd Barrett. The performance captured in the recording highlights the band’s immersive live experience, characterized by elaborate light shows and thematic depth, reinforcing their status as pioneers in the progressive rock genre.
