17 December, 2012.

This show was the last Rolf worked on in the few days before he left us.

Thanks to him and his passionate research over the course of 35 years, research that took him all over the world at great expense to himself in search of master tapes and other Pink Floyd material, this show wasn't lost to time.

Pepperland was a Beatles-themed hall that featured a quadraphonic sound system designed by sound engineer John Meyer, who later built custom PA systems for the Grateful Dead.

For Pink Floyd's shows there the band needed to use the ballroom floor to accommodate all of their gear, which took up two trucks to transport. PF was set up against the back wall opposite the entrance on a very low riser.

Pink Floyd were on tour promoting their new album, Atom Heart Mother, which had just been released a few days before.

They played there two nights, the 16th and 17th, returning to California for the fourth time in their career.

As with everytime they came to CA they felt at their best and their performance was really hot. This time, though, was the first time they didn't play Interstellar Overdrive, an omission not lost to the Californian fans who considered it a certainty.

That first night there were many problems with the power.

The club's system was unable to deal with the multichannel sound system the Floyd brought, and several power outages marred the performance of Astronomy Domine.

Three more small outages occurred during the crescendo of A Saucerful of Secrets, but this time the band forged on and finished the song in spite of them, much to the fans' delight.

Enjoy¡¡¡
