First US Tour Pink and the boys had quite a disastrous inaugural American tour. Visa issues led to numerous cancelled concerts on the left coast, before finally debuting at Bill Graham's Winterland on Nov 4. Then there was Syd's, shall we say, odd behaviour during the taping of The Pat Boone Show (Syd was smart). And a stoned turn on American Bandstand. 2023 update: New link includes the video. Remembering Pink Floyd's bizarre US TV debut on 'American Bandstand' in 1967 . The Syd Barrett Blog has disappeared. There is now a documentary on Syd. Read more here (American Songwriter website). |

Several unique tracks on the soundtrack album |
An Hour With Pink Floyd April 30, 1970: Pink Floyd record several tunes at the old, empty Fillmore Auditorium for the local public broadcasting station in San Francisco. The show, complete with artsy intros (it's the 70s damn it!), is broadcast locally only on KQED-TV and stereo simulcast on KQED-FM on January 26, 1971 (see link below). The special would be broadcast nationally by PBS in 1973. It was finally released in 2016 as part of the giant Pink Floyd box set The Early Years. Read more about this concert at KQED . |

We're not in Kansas, Toto! The album that (finally) put Pink Floyd on the map. After knocking out a soundtrack album (1972 French film, La Vallee), Pink and the group descended into Apple Studios (yes, same one that gave us The Beatles and S F Sorrow) to work on what would become their ticket to the stars. Reusing some music from The Body and Zabriskie Point, they honed the music to tell the story of life—from birth to death. They presented the work (then titled Dark Side of the Moon: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics) at the Rainbow Theatre on Feb 17, 1972. Work then proceeded on smoothing out the edges and was finally released as an album a year later. |
