Here's another outside the canon one that I came across in my quest to plug gaps in the collection -
McFarlin Auditorium, Southern Methodist UniversityDallas, TX, USASeptember 10th 1972
Untracked, incomplete, some jumps but the remaining half of DSotM has a lovely, very wonky version of Great Gig with that ascending riff they ditched but it's pretty good quality and a nice listen.

wow this tape might even be better than 1972-09-22, though i haven't heard that one in a while and it's more complete at least.
that ascending riff reminds me a lot of the intro to "la carrozza di hans" by pfm.
also really enjoyed the rodrigo y gabriela, starts off pretty "classical guitar tribute to pink floyd" but gets creative quickly enough, which the california guitar trio version doesn't ever do.

Until recently I've only paid scant attention to 1972 recordings, my favourite period has always been 69-71, I found this interesting post on the live evolution of DSotM and when I have some time I might follow the line to see just how much changed.
"I read somewhere in this forum (but it's impossible to find it again now) that Dark Side of the Moon had several different stages of development, of which the studio album is, if I remember correctly, the second of a total of four. Is that correct?
And most importantly, regardless of how many stages it had — what are the best and/or most representative shows I should listen to? Which are the most interesting performances? I think five or six will do, unless you guys consider that's definitely insufficient."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'll have a go at this! Hehe
I would say there's actually more.
In 1972 alone, i would say that there are substantial changes all throughout the year. These are the ones that I think that would best illustrate that:
1/22/1972 Bornemouth2/20/1972 Rainbow3/13/1972 Soporro4/28/1972 Chicago6/28/1972 Brighton9/22/1972 Hollywood Bowl12/9/1972 Zurich
Then, beyond 1972, it continued to change in concert through 1975, and finally once again in 1994:5/19/1973 Earls Court11/1974 Wembley6/18/1975 Boston10/20/1994 Earls Court"

Nick Mason has already spent five years inside a maximum security prison when an offer comes that will grant his release twenty years early. He accepts -- but the deal comes with a terrible price.
Now, back on the streets, Nick Mason has a new house, a new car, money to burn, and a beautiful roommate. He’s returned to society, but he's still a prisoner. Whenever his cell phone rings, day or night, Nick must answer it and follow whatever order he is given. It’s the deal he made with Darius Cole, a criminal mastermind serving a double-life term who runs an empire from his prison cell.
Forced to commit increasingly more dangerous crimes, hunted by the relentless detective who put him behind bars, and desperate to go straight and rebuild his life with his daughter and ex-wife, Nick will ultimately have to risk everything -- his family, his sanity, and even his life -- to finally break free.

I wonder if the first time Mason rehearsed 'Remember A Day' with SoS is the first time he actually played the song at all.

one of my favorites and love love that Gilmour did it on Jools Holland weeks after Wright's passing, with Phil Manzanera.

After spamming the thread and rewatching all these again I'm reminded a lot of that Damned (oh yeah, that Mason connection) album where they transform into Nazz Nomad & The Nightmares and cover a bunch of garage rock songs, but really any time new wavers go 1968. Odd but pleasant to hear these without Waters' clunky bass. The songs/sound rules so much when something like "Obscured By Ciouds" is coming at you at full volume that you don't realize that what feels like a 20 minute power drone is coming in at a tidy 6:14.
