Pink Floyd – The French Connection: Live in Poitiers, 1972 (Limited Edition 12-Inch Album on Purple Vinyl)

This release is limited to 300 copies.

This album showcases Pink Floyd’s mesmerising concert at the Palais des Sports, in Poitiers, France, on 29 November 1972, during the Dark Side of the Moon Tour.

Covering the UK, US, Europe and Japan, the Dark Side of the Moon Tour spanned 1972 and 1973. There were two separate legs promoting the album, one in 1972 before the album’s release and another in 1973 afterwards, together covering 128 shows.

Pink Floyd had worked out the basic structure of The Dark Side of the Moon in late 1971, and played it at almost every gig the following year, alongside earlier live favourites. Various changes to the structure were made throughout this time, as songs were tightened up and arrangements changed. By 1973, the album was finished and the live performance resembled the completed work.

Featured here, is a performance of the yet-to-be-released album in its entirety, plus an astonishing rendition of the prog masterpiece One of These Days.
