Greatest Blossom Music Center concerts: No. 4 — Pink Floyd

Flashback: Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" was the best-selling album of 1973, setting the stage for a hotly anticipated stop at Blossom that summer.

• Lawn tickets were just $3 and sold out in minutes.

State of play : When gates opened at Blossom, thousands of fans rushed past the ticket takers to enjoy a dazzling 16-song set that included "The Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety.

• On the outskirts of the venue, people climbed a fence that was resurrected after fans sneaked into a 1969 Blood, Sweat & Tears concert.

The intrigue: Floyd's stage setup was one of the most elaborate in music history up to that point, featuring projector screens, lights, animation and mirrors used to create visuals synced to the music.

• The tour also used a 20-speaker sound system with massive units set up on the stage, as well as at the front and back of the lawn, to build an immersive experience.

• The sound system shook the ground so hard that complaint calls from residents miles away flooded the Cuyahoga Falls' police department.

The bottom line: Roughly 15,000 tickets were sold for the show, but some recountings put the final attendance closer to 30,000.
