Pink Floyd at the LA Sports Arena (4.26.75): The Millard Master

It’s taken a half century for a Mike Millard recording to be officially sanctioned and released, though fittingly, his professional debut is a jewel: Pink Floyd at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, 4.26.75. Included in the band’s forthcoming Wish You Were Here 50th Anniversary Deluxe Set, Millard’s tape captures Floyd at its most gigantic: included in its 2.5-hour runtime is a complete runthrough of Dark Side of the Moon, the then-unreleased Wish You Were Here previewed in full (oddly, minus its FM rock staple title cut), a healthy slice of the Animals LP nearly two years before it hit shelves, and a wicked “Echoes” encore meltdown.
