1970s - #4: In February 1972, Pink Floyd did something very few rocks bands ever have - they played 4 concerts to give the press a sneak peak at 45 minutes of new music they were developing. Those 4 shows were at the Rainbow Theater in London. That suite of tunes, originally entitled Eclipse, would eventually comprise the legendary album Dark Side of The Moon. The Rainbow concerts took place over a year before the album was released, but the reviews provided a preview of what was to come.. Michael Wale of The Times described the piece as "... bringing tears to the eyes. It was so completely understanding and musically questioning." Derek Jewell of The Sunday Times wrote "The ambition of the Floyd's artistic intention is now vast." So too would be the success of Dark Side of The Moon, as the album would sell over 50 million copies worldwide and remain on the Billboard Charts in the US for an almost incomprehensible 741 weeks spanning 15 years from 1973 to 1988. Pink Floyd would eventually play over 90 shows that year, each one previewing the soon to be released masterpiece. This excellent audience recording captures them in Hollywood on September 22, 1972, a half century ago today.
