Great Gigs in the Cloud: Episode 1

After so many full concerts shared here on "Perulandia", I've decided to start a new line of posts that shall be called from now on Great Gigs in the Cloud and what better way to start than with a music video that reminds us somehow the proposed title. Would you agree?

Although it would take them after this film two years before they would publish an album with a music that had a title that resembled in any way the title of these new line of posts (despite this video being an edited release in 1974 with studio recordings of Dark Side of The Moon), I thought of it as a good excuse to publish another Floyd act!

Anyway it was this particular video that triggered the idea of starting this new wave of posts, so although historically the suggestion isn't quite precise, the intention is good.
