Pink Floyd concert chronology

Pink Floyd's 1974 French Summer Tour, was a short concert tour by Pink Floyd during the summer of 1974 in France. The tour commenced on 18 June 1974 and concluded on 26 June 1974. The first date of the tour was recorded by France's Europe 1 radio, with segments broadcast later in the year.

The French 1974 tour featured the debut of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (with the two halves played as one, as on the British 1974 tour) and "Raving and Drooling". The French tour was the first time Floyd used their iconic circular screen, which the band called "Mr. Screen."
