Rainbow Show is a bootleg recording of the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd which includes the first set of their last (of four) concert in Rainbow theatre, London in February 1972. It's one of their many live recordings of their legendary album Dark side of the moon, over a year before the studio album's release. It also contains an ultra rare live recording of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. This track has only been played live four times ever, and it was during these four Rainbow theatre gigs.

[edit] Notes On The Tracks

  • According to the documentary VH1 Classic Albums: Dark Side Of The Moon, on the run was created in the Abbey Road Studios

in London during the recording Dark Side.... Before that there was a part called The Travelling Sequence in its place and because of this live recording is from before they entered the studio this song could be a fake.

  • After Time, there are a reprise of the song Breathe
