Did Pink Floyd Ever Change the Dark Side Song Order on the 1973 Tour?
Nope. Once Pink Floyd started playing The Dark Side of the Moon in full on their 1973 tours, the song order never changed. The second set was the album straight through, just as it appears on the record. They treated it like a single piece of music, with the transitions between songs locked in from the first performances in early 1973.
There’s no known show from that era where they shuffled “Money” before “Us and Them” or dropped “The Great Gig in the Sky” somewhere in the middle. The only variations came earlier, during the 1972 preview tour, when the album was still unfinished and they performed a different sequence that lacked some final tracks. But once Dark Side hit shelves in March 1973, the live setlist became rigid. The band saw the album as a seamless cycle, so rearranging it would’ve broken the mood they worked so hard to build.
