    Fingal's Cave Podcast Ep.22 - “Here They Come!”: Pink Floyd, January 1972 and the birth of The Dark Side of the Moon

    Happy weekend everybody!

    'Here they come!' is one of the most well known quotes at the start of a Pink Floyd show...and not only one show of many but the start of the most exciting tours Pink Floyd ever presented...and the birth of 'The Dark Side of the Moon'.

    In this episode, Phil Salathé and Ian Priston delve deep into the January 1972 shows, offering insightful musical analysis and thorough research to shed light on this pivotal moment in Pink Floyd’s history.​

    Over the course of eight days in January 1972, Pink Floyd began to showcase The Dark Side Of The Moon, their brand-new piece of music, which would ultimately define their legacy. The band kicked off their tour with concerts in Brighton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, and Southampton, before heading north to Newcastle and Leeds.

    For live recording collectors, these early dates have long been a source of confusion, with persistent issues regarding accurate dates and uncertainties surrounding the content and quality of the audience recordings. Consequently, the pivotal January shows are often overshadowed by the February 1972 Rainbow Theatre concerts.

    If an act of empathy is considered somehow as something radical, we're living in dangerous times.

        Great episode, love the in depth discussion of each of those early Dark Side (Eclipse) shows. Also, does anyone else find Ian's voice completely soothing? Please read to me at night, man. Haha! Nice one yet again, men!

          A totally enthralling and detailed analysis. Loved the length of the episode, a great listen. As you mention, it is curious they performed four consecutive shows in such close proximity, as if they were perhaps even conceived as warm-up shows.
          Thanks Ian, Phil and Nils.

                  really fascinating. I hadn't appreciated quite how much it started off as an extension of ideas first used in Echoes.

                            Great episode about some great shows. And to think how many episodes could still explore more of '72. The insights, knowledge and stories were very captivating and interesting. Keep up the great work.
