Pink Floyd

By June 1977, Pink Floyd was deep into their celebrated "In The Flesh" tour, promoting their concept album "Animals," which had been released earlier that year on January 23. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, featuring a more progressive rock style, and was a thematic exploration of social and political issues, particularly critiquing capitalism. The Cincinnati concert presented a dynamic performance, showcasing the band's intricacy and ambition during a time of sonic experimentation. Notably, this tour featured elaborate stage setups and a focus on visual spectacle, setting a precedent for future live performances. The film footage from the Riverfront Stadium captures a unique moment in Pink Floyd's evolution, where they melded musical prowess with a striking visual presentation, further solidifying their status as one of the predominant forces in rock music during the late 1970s.
