Pink Floyd - 1975-04-21 - San Diego CA (SBD)

After only playing only  27 shows in 1974, all in Europe, Pink Floyd launched a full scale North American tour in April 8, 1975 that ran all the way to June 28. The tour was unique in several respects. First, while the shows were often referred to as the Wish You Were Here tour, the album by that name would not be released until September of that year. The band did play both the Shine on You Crazy Diamond suite (all 9 parts) and Have A Cigar from that soon to be released disc, but they had not yet completed either the title track or Welcome To The Machine. Second, the opening 2 songs of each concert, Raving and Drooling and You've Got To Be Crazy, were actually early versions of Sheep and Dogs, two tunes which would not appear in final form until the release of their 1977 album, Animals. Finally, for the last part of the show, Pink Floyd played the entire Dark Side of The Moon album, the last time the band would do so with Roger Waters. This soundboard recording captures Pink Floyd near the start of the tour, in San Diego on April 21, 1975, 45 years ago today.
