Pink Floyd

In January 1965, when the live recording captured in the video "Pink Floyd In The Flash Live" was made, Pink Floyd was at the nascent stage of their career. This was during a period when they were still largely an underground band playing the emerging psychedelic scene in London. Their debut album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," would not be released until later that year in August. This recording is particularly interesting as it showcases their early experimentation with sound and performance, which would become hallmarks of their identity. At this time, the band was led by Syd Barrett, whose innovative songwriting and unique guitar work heavily influenced their early sound. The performance exemplifies their beginnings before they transitioned into the more elaborate and concept-driven works that would define their later career.
