PINK FLOYD

SAPPORO 

 EARLY DARK SIDE CONCERT

 IN JAPAN 1972 

 Pink Floyd’s 

inaugural visit 

to Japan in 1971

 found the band playing

 two festival dates

 and one in a

 small concert hall, 

and it was certainly 

a very successful tour 

with the seeds planted

 for a larger scale visit

 the following year. 

The resulting tour commenced in

 March 1972 

and consisted of six dates, 

two each in Tokyo 

and Osaka, 

one each in

 Kyoto and Sapporo.

  Floyd began performing cuts

 from their upcoming

 Dark Side Of The Moon 

album in January ’72, 

despite the record 

not coming out for 

another 14 months. 

They played 16 UK dates, 

featuring full performances of

 ‘a work-in progress’. 

The tour culminated with

 four nights at London's

 Rainbow Theatre

 In February, 

Pink Floyd began a

 week-long recording session

 at Château d'Hérouville studios

 near Paris,

 working on music

 for the soundtrack to

 More 

director

 Barbet Schroeder's 

next film, 

La Vallée. 

Pink Floyd

 began their whistle-stop tour 

of Japan

 on

 March 6th, 

beginning in Tokyo 

and ending on 

 March 13th

 in Sapporo. 

Their set list 

once again included 

The Dark Side Of The Moon.

 Performing at the

 Nakajima Sports Center, 

the band’s show

 in Sapporo

 was generally considered

 their finest of the tour 

and remains a

 favourite among fans.

 It was also Pink Floyd's

 last concert in Japan

 for another 14 years.

 Previously unreleased 

on CD however,

 this new title 

includes the entire

 Sapporo concert 

for the first time.
