This was the very first Pink Floyd concert in Japan. Echoes consists of two fragments only.


Drummer Nick Mason remembers the gig in his book, Inside Out:

A Personal History Of Pink Floyd:

“Of all the overseas tours, our first visit to Japan in August 1971 was a particular success. The record company organised a press conference (something which we generally hate)
and presented us with our first gold records.
Although these were completely bogus, as they had not been earned through sales,
we nonetheless appreciated the gesture.

“The real reason for the success of this tour was an outdoor show at Hakone.
Not only was this a beautiful venue set in countryside a couple of hours outside Tokyo,
but a festival audience in Japan was a lot less inhibited than one at an indoor show.”
