Echoes

This is the last gig of the 1971 U.S. tour - a replacement date for a concert that was originally schedeuled on October 30th at the Music Hall in Cincinnati. This show is also the last time the band ever performs two songs which had been staples of their setlist for a couple of years - "The Embryo" and "Cymbaline." Two months later, the Floyd started gigging again and "Dark Side of the Moon" was a big chunk of the set.

Pink Floyd played some of the best places on this tour. The Taft Auditorium is a 2,500-seat theater and was built in 1928. Two to three thousand comfortable seats seems perfect for a gig like this. It's not like you are the Boss and need to really need to feel the audience playing the Floyd's set at this point.
