THE TOUR
On Saturday, May 15, 1971, Pink Floyd performed at the Crystal Palace Bowl, London, England. This event was a part of the "Garden Party" festival, which featured several other notable acts including Faces (also known as Small Faces), Mountain, and Quiver. 

Pink Floyd was a progressive rock band known for their innovative music and spectacular live performances. In 1971, the band was riding high on the success of their album "Atom Heart Mother," which had been released the previous year. This period marked a transitional phase for Pink Floyd as they continued to experiment with their sound and stage effects.

Faces, originally known as Small Faces before a lineup change, was a British rock band formed in 1969. The band featured members who were previously part of Small Faces, including Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Their music was a blend of rock, blues, and folk elements.

Mountain was an American rock band formed by Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi. They were known for their heavy and blues-influenced sound. "Mississippi Queen" is one of their most well-known songs.

Quiver was a British rock band that existed from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. They were associated with artists like Elton John and Roger Daltrey and released a few albums during their career.
