Still On The Prog-Rock Theme: Pink Floyd, Live Bootleg Of The Dark Side Of The Moon As Performed At The Rainbow Theatre, London, UK, Feb 20, 1972

The 1972 Rainbow Concert that preceded the momentous The Dark Side Of The Moon. The set featured the first public performance of the songs that later appeared on the Dark Side album. Bootlegs of the show sold an estimated 120,000 copies in the black market and helped fuel anticipation for the release of the legendary album. Alan Parsons engineered the album. But lest I digress, here's the live set.
