Obscured By Clouds
Tour



Although there was no tour to promote the Obscured By Clouds soundtrack, some of the album's songs were played throughout the following two years.

The title track Obscured By Clouds and When You're In were combined into one jam session which made its live premier during the Roland Petit ballet.
These two songs would remain part of the set list throughout the Dark Side Of The Moon tour. Before a month was up, the songs would become the opening for the DSOTM shows and would lead the second set for the final two UK shows of the DSOTM tours.


Childhood's End had a brief play during the start of the DSOTM tour - ironically premiering on David's 26th birthday. This song was soon dropped and replaced with Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun for most of the remainder of the tour.


1972 and 1973 were a very busy time for the band. The previous year had seen them on their Atom Heart Mother and Meddle Tour. The new year followed almost instantly with the pre-Dark Side tour, writing and recording the soundtrack for La Vallee, studio recording for Dark Side Of The Moon, the Roland Petit ballet, and then touring for Dark Side Of the Moon.
