Pink Floyd - Tokyo, Japan - 1972 | VOODOO WAGON

Pink Floyd - Tokyo 1972 - Dark Side premier | Voodoo Wagon

Now I have gone banging on about Floyd for an age on here and left them to their own devices round about here 'Dark Side...' and 'The Wall' I really thought were sophomoric and naive, UmmaGumma, Meddle and Obscured By Clouds notwithstanding, I was a die hard Syd fan so Piper was always my favourite album . . . . . but this radio broadcast and premier of the new album DSOTM is worth a visit for sure. Slightly ‘hot’ for me in the first  section (7 tracks ) but the following are all worth checking out. 

Its from the Boss over at Voodoo Wagon so you know its worth listening to!

Silent Way says:

"Pink Floyd in their Japan premiere of Dark Side Of The Moon, in a live concert at Tokyo-to Taiikukan in Tokyo Japan on 3/6/1972. The album wouldn't be released until the fall of 1972, so the audience was in for a surprise. This was the first night at this venue, and was recorded and broadcast by Tokai FM in Japan.

The recordings for this broadcast came from 2 different sources, the first 7 songs are from one source and the next 11 are from another. The sound quality varies a bit but I equalized the volumes as best I could. This set from the FM broadcast is longer than the edited version on other sites. 
*Note: The last song (Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun) is the encore from the 3/7 concert, not in the 3/6 set.

Here's a translation of what the Japanese announcer says on track 12: "The first music you heard is not public yet, it’s new music – "Dark Side of the Moon". This will be released in October (1972) in England. After the break, we’ll play their normal hits. We’ll start with tuning." 

check it out!

hmmmm nice tuning . . . . . . . .
