Il 12 maggio 1967, i Pink Floyd hanno fatto la storia della musica rock presentando il primo concerto con sistema audio quadrifonico alla Queen Elizabeth Hall in Inghilterra. Questo evento innovativo, denominato "Games for May", ha segnato un punto di svolta nell'esperienza del concerto dal vivo, introducendo una nuova dimensione sonora che ha immerso il pubblico in un ambiente sonoro a 360 gradi. La band ha utilizzato un sistema di altoparlanti personalizzato e un dispositivo chiamato Azimuth Coordinator, controllato dal tastierista Richard Wright, per distribuire il suono in tutte le direzioni della sala. Questa tecnologia pionieristica ha permesso ai suoni di viaggiare intorno all'auditorio, creando un effetto avvolgente e tridimensionale che ha lasciato il pubblico estasiato. L'evento ha rappresentato non solo un'innovazione tecnologica, ma anche un'evoluzione artistica, poiché i Pink Floyd hanno combinato la loro musica psichedelica con effetti visivi e sonori per creare un'esperienza multisensoriale unica. #pinkfloyd #quadraphonicsound #gamesformay #queenelizabethhall #schoolmagazine_mi #sm_mi
#ZachToTheFuture May 12, 1967 Sonic innovators don’t come much bigger than Pink Floyd who not only re-imagined sound, but also changed how we take in live music. When the band performed the world’s first-ever surround sound concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall on this day in 1967, the group would change how we consume live audio forever. The concert was titled ‘Games for May’ and promised to be an upmarket occasion at the newly opened Queen Elizabeth Hall, an occasion that would see the band debut their brand-new custom-made quadraphonic speaker system specifically to our boy @z_irish_red. His review of this technological advancement would raise the standard of what audiences would come to expect from concerts and lead to the whole industry increasing the bar in response to Pink Floyd’s fresh ideas. #todayinhistory #history #toofatdudez #tfdnerdcast #thecomicsthatwelove #podcastlife #podcasting #privateshow #pinkfloyd #rockandroll #progressive #progressiverock #alternative #alternativerock #musichistory #quadraphonic #allaroundyou #surroundsound #surround #speakers #speakerseverywhere #britishinvasion #gamesformay #livealbum #queenelizabeth #queenelizabethhall #joystick #funwithjoysticks #balance
🎸🚀 Throwback to 12 May 1967, when Pink Floyd held their legendary 'Games for May' concert at Queen Elizabeth Hall! 🎉🤘 This concert was one of the first significant events by the band and featured some of their early singles and songs from their upcoming debut album 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'. But what made it truly unforgettable was the stunning display of a complex light show and a four-channel quadraphonic surround sound speaker system, which was a first of its kind in Britain. 🌟🔊 During the concert, the band members even created sound effects by chopping up wood on stage, and a man dressed as an admiral gave out daffodils while bubbles from a machine stained all the furniture in the hall. This caused quite a stir, and unfortunately, Pink Floyd was banned from ever playing at the venue again! 🙊 Nonetheless, 'Games for May' was a historic moment in the world of rock music, and it set the tone for the band's innovative approach to live performances in the years to come. 🎶 🤩 #pinkfloyd #gamesformay #QueenElizabethHall #rockmusic

Pink Floyd “Masters of Rock” (comp, 1974, Italy) Great comp of early Pink Floyd singles etc. However I find the sequencing a bit odd. Opening with Julia Dream? The slowest auiestest and most droll cut on the album? And then both Arnold Layne and See Emily Play have track changes? Come on! Still I’m glad to have it.

Total missed opportunity... I got to lead a group of students at @fortwashingtonschoolofrock this weekend in a performance of Dark Side of the Moon and other Pink Floyd classics. A major labor of love for me and it really turned out great! But I forgot to announce that there was a total lunar eclipse happening tonight. Astronomy has always been my other big fascination in life besides music. And even if it is random chance, that's a great cosmic coincidence. And in typical Philly weather fashion... Obscured by Clouds (we didn't do anything from that album unfortunately). Floyd puns 100% intended!

My adaptation of a poster, originally designed by Barry Zaid, in celebration of tonight’s concert by Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets at the DeMontfort Hall, Leicester. The original poster was created for Pink Floyd’s concert of May 12th, 1967 held at the then three months old Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s South Bank. Games for May was described as a "Space age relaxation for the climax of spring – electronic composition, colour and image projection, girls, and the Pink Floyd". This gig showcased Pink Floyd’s pioneering use of quadrophonic sound with speakers in the four corners of the Hall, for which the sound distribution was controlled by a single joystick. Dubbed The Azimuth Co-ordinator, it allowed the operator to effectively move sound around the auditorium, making Pink Floyd’s Southbank Centre appearance the first ever surround sound gig. As a climax to their performance, Pink Floyd cranked up a bubble machine and threw flowers flowers into the crowd. It was a big finish that left its mark in more ways than one, with the mixture of petals and water permanently marking a great number of the Hall’s plush new leather seats leading to Pink Floyd being banned from the Queen Elizabeth Hall! Let’s hope tonight’s gig taking us back to those heady, psychedelic days ends with a bang and not a ban! @saucerfulofsecretsofficial . . . . #saucerfulofsecrets #pinkfloyd #leicester #demontforthall #gig #gamesformay #concert #gigposter @mrleeharris @dombeken @garyjkemp @guyprattofficial

Pink Floyd presented their #GamesForMay today in 1967, the first band to appear at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, as this article notes. It also refers to a film they intended to shoot - do you know what song was originally called Percy The Rat Catcher, the only thing to come from this project?

Matilda Mother is pretty much the quintessential Syd Barrett song. Exquisite lyrically, and it has that early hypnotic groove that would become a recurring theme in songs like Pow R Toc H, Scream Thy Last Scream, Set The Controls For the Heart of the Sun, Careful with That Axe Eugene, Echoes, When You're In/Obscured by Clouds, On The Run, By the way this little box set was definitely worth it.😉💖💖🌟🌟 #cambridgestation #sydbarrett #rogerwaters #richardwright #nickmason #pinkfloyd #musicfan #musicnerd #cdboxset #theearlyyears #records #matildamother #gamesformay #1967

1967's See Emily Play was Pink Floyd's second single (non-album in the UK, but included on The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn in the US). The 'second title' of the song is Games For May, named after a Pink Floyd concert in the Queen Elizabeth Hall earlier in 1967 (see my note of July 30). The Emily in the song was/is apparently the Honourable Emily Young, today a well known sculptor, but in those days nicknamed 'the psychedelic schoolgirl' at the UFO Club in London. See Emily Play (written by Syd Barrett) became a top 10 hit in the UK but failed in the US.

Games For May, a one time concert by Pink Floyd in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, took place on May 12, 1967. With the subtitle 'Space age relaxation for the climax of spring - electronic composition, colour and image projection, girls, and (the) Pink Floyd', it was more than clear that Games For May was not an ordinary concert, and indeed, the band introduced the Azimuth Co-ordinator, a (primitive) quadraphonic soundsystem. They also used a bubblemachine (which stained all the furniture) and a huge lightshow. The setlist consisted of some of their early singles and songs from their (yet to be released) debut album. Games For May was the original title for See Emily Play, Pink Floyd's second single. #pinkfloyd #gamesformay #1967 #1960s #queenelizabethhall #60s #sixties #spotify #classicrock #rockhistory #musichistory #seeemilyplay #azimuthcoordinator #quadraphonic #quadraphonicsound
