Flying pigs became an indelible image for the band, and this poster depicts one beautifully, floating above the clouds & fog of San Francisco Bay. The year 1977 found Floyd on tour supporting Animals, which also depicted a flying pig in a sky of clouds (above a power station). That LP went on to sell 12 million units worldwide.
