30 Days of Floyd, Day 15 - May 15, 1988

May 15, 1988

Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Welcome to the month of Pink Floyd, where I’ll be celebrating the 30-day countdown until the release of the Early Years box set. Technically, it’s 31 days, but I’ll be celebrating the 31st day differently… maybe. I’m bad at commitment.
The plan is to look at 30 random concerts from Pink Floyd history, even going past the content covered in the Early Years.

I finally get to talk about a 1988 concert. It’s one of my favorite for several reasons, and it’s in Philly. May 15, 1988.
This is rated M for Philadelphia.

Another 1967 concert, this time its September 13, 1967. I’m tired today, so a shorter concert is a more realistic option for me.

The concert in review is from December 5, 1972, from the Dark Side of the Moon tour. Yes, we’re here. I actually picked this one because it’s my personal favorite. I cannot do this concert justice.
