Off The Shelf Vinyl & CDs

Review: In 1972, for the first time since 1969, Led Zeppelin didn't release an album. Following the success of Led Zeppelin IV in November 1971, the band spent most of 1972 touring and next album Houses of the Holy did not arrive until March 1973. In February, they toured Australia, followed by a North American tour in June. On June 9th, they delivered one of their standout performances at the Charlotte Coliseum in North Carolina and the set featured tracks from their latest album and fan favourites like the iconic 'Stairway to Heaven.' Now, for the first time, this show is available on vinyl and this is part two of the vital collection.

Review: The Dark Side of the Moon Tour by Pink Floyd, which is one of the most famous in all of rock, started on January 20, 1972, at the Brighton Dome in the UK and ended almost two years later in November 1973 at London's Rainbow Theatre. The tour spanned the UK, US, Europe, and Japan, with two separate legs promoting the album and in all, it involved 128 shows. By late 1971, Pink Floyd had developed a basic structure for Dark Side of the Moon, performing it at nearly every show and to recreate the album live they added saxophonist Dick Parry, female backing singers, enhanced visual effects, and improved quadraphonic sound. The tour first reached the USA in April 1972 for a month, with a second stint in September, and one of those dates is presented here having been recorded and broadcast by WNEW FM.
