Pink Floyd - The Best of Tour 72 (1972 Unofficial)



Think if you marry the most beautiful girl you can imagine and get her gorgeous mum top it off. This is the Mum.

Explanation: Dark Side of The Moon was the "beautiful girl" I met in 1974. This Live album is her Mum who I never met but now giving more depth and base to understand her daughter even over 40 years later.

-----
Did you know: This bootleg was recorded almost one year before Dark Side of the Moon came out. He who did it, heard it wrong believing one the songs was "The Great Pig in the Sky", not "...Gig...". That is why he decided to take a photo of a sow with piglets and put it on the cover. He later understood his mistake but so what, the cover photo was good anyway. Roger Waters got to know this funny mistake
and when processing their album "Animals" he fooled with the idea of a big size of a Pig flying and Pigs on wings.

Is that "Did you know" -writing above:

a) just my own idea and associations?
b) written in Nicholas Schaffner's book: "Saucerful of Secrets - The Pink Floyd Odyssey"?
c) told me by Roger Waters himself?
