Twelve vintage Pink Floyd shows have been made available on streaming services. Recorded between 1970 and 1972 these concerts capture them in full flight, before they became a household name after the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon on March 1, 1973. It's a bit odd that they released the Copenhagen show in two parts and that they paired both Lyon 12 June 1971 - Tokyo 16 March 1972 and Leeds 28 Feb 1970 - St. Louis 16 Nov 1971 as combined playlists. The Tokyo show contains an early rendition of DSOTM all the way until a part of Us and Them. The full show has been readily available on YouTube with a complete Us and Them and Any Colour You Like > Brain Damage > Eclipse sequenze.
The overall sound quality is not that great - the Amsterdam show for instance is a mediocre audience recording - and they offer nothing new for seasoned bootleg collectors. For the best sound go to the professionally recorded Montreux shows. However, having easy access to early Floyd is nice.
