Description:
Pink Floyd Live from the Los Angeles
Sports Arena,
April 26th, 1975 spotlights the band
during their
rapid ascent. The Dark Side of the Moon
had taken
Pink Floyd from a hugely successful
breakout
British band to one of the biggest rock
groups on
the planet. Arenas and stadiums would
now play
host to their performances. The Wish
You Were Here
Tour was announced in early March 1975,
just one
month prior to commencing. The shows
instantly
sold out and broke box office records,
including that
of the Los Angeles Sports Arena, which
in a single
day sold all of its 67,000 ticket
allocation for the
scheduled four-night run. An extra
fifth show
signalled a residency, and sold out
within a matter
of hours. The recording that lays the
foundation of
this historic release was created by
the late
bootlegger Mike “Mike the Mic” Millard,
whose tapes
from concerts across Los Angeles in the
1970s
became renowned for their surprisingly
clear sound
quality. To conceal his recording
equipment from
venue security, Millard would often
pretend to be
disabled and arrive to concerts in a
wheelchair.
Many of Millard’s bootlegs were pressed
onto vinyl
unofficially, however he did not
condone the sale of
his recordings for profit. Pink Floyd’s
penultimate
concert at the Los Angeles Arena was no
exception, remaining unreleased and unheard by all but a few
audio trading collectors, until now.
Meticulously
restored and remastered by Steven
Wilson, this is
the definitive live recording of Pink
Floyd’s 1975
tour. At the time of the Los Angeles Sports
Arena
shows, Pink Floyd were in a period of
creative
transition. While a new album had
originally been
expected earlier in 1975, the band
embarked on their
North American tour whilst still
developing new
material live, on stage. The
performance opened
with early versions of songs initially
titled as
‘Raving and Drooling’ and ‘You’ve Got
To Be Crazy’,
later evolving into ‘Sheep’ and ‘Dogs’
which would
feature on their tenth album, Animals.
‘Shine On You
Crazy Diamond’ in its two parts
bookended another
new composition, ‘Have A Cigar’.
Following these
new compositions, the band performed
The Dark
Side of The Moon in full, with ‘Echoes’
as an encore.
