On Pink Floyd’s third American tour, this show introduced San
Francisco to some
of the newer material from the Ummagumma LPs and a taste of
things soon to
be recorded for the Atom Heart Mother LP later that year.
This San Francisco audience is particularly quiet and attentive.
This seems to have facilitated a more intimate, unique and
focused
performance than other dates on this tour.
This show begins in a quiet pastoral manner and continues to
build in
intensity as the sets progress.
Of particular note in the first set are the unreleased songs "Cymbaline"
and "Embryo",
as well as the entire suite of "Atom Heart Mother."
After the acoustic opener to the second set, "Green Is the
Colour," they take off to the
outer realms of exploration for the rest of the evening.
The last three compositions in particular show the band in an
adventurous mood
with standout performances of tracks from their first two albums.
Following the marathon 22-plus minute encore of "Saucerful of
Secrets," the audience
brings them back for a rare second encore of "Interstellar
Overdrive."
Earlier this same day, the band taped a memorable live
performance for KQED TV in San Francisco.
This tour met with disaster a few weeks later when the band's
equipment
was stolen during a multi-night engagement at The Warehouse in
New Orleans.
The rest of the tour was cancelled. |
