PINK FLOYD 

Live at Earls Court 1973


SHELTER BENEFIT SHOW, 
NATIONAL CAMPANGE FOR THE HOMLESS

  Orange Records OR 12a/b

Made In Europe    (P)2003

Audience Recording

 
   
 
This was one of two benefit concerts played in London between the two North American tours of the year and the performance is of the usual caliber for this era. 

‘Obscured by Clouds’ and ‘When You’re In’ both feature a good deal of keyboard and
slide guitar soloing in these expanded live versions. 

Later Waters lets loose an ear-shattering scream in ‘Careful with that Axe, Eugene’
—one of the most powerful and menacing ones you’ll ever hear. 

The rest of the show is strong and typical for mid-1973, save Wright and Gilmour singing different lines at the same time during ‘Us and Them.’ 

A saxophone player (probably Dick Parry, who appeared on The Dark Side of the Moon)
is now a regular part of the lineup.
