The Dark Side of the Moon tour. We had Pavilion seats. What I remember: The support for the gong used in Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun had flames jetting out of it (like a gas BBQ). They had a hemispherical mirrored ball which could spin. For Money the hit it with a golden yellow spot which sent gold circular dots of light spinning around. For Brain Damage/Eclipse the mirrored ball was raised to the top of the hall. For "everything under the sun" a yellow light illuminated the ball. Smoke was ejected from the rim of the ball creating a cloud behind it. On "the sun is eclipsed by the moon" the light on the ball was switched to blue white and on the cloud appeared the ringed corona and shadow of an eclipse. In musical notes Thunder Thighs (as the ladies were introduced) version of Great Gig was not as true to the recording as the Wish You Were Here / Brennan, Fox version and I recall that David messed up the verses in Money.
