Soundboard Recording

| Comments:
This is a soundboard recording and well worth seeking out, but one
can see why
it was
not officialy released:
Dave has one of his trademark laughing attacks during 'Fat Old Sun'.
Also, during the closing segment of 'Cymbaline' (after the footsteps
sequence),
there is a particularly
bad and prolonged problem with the sound system, causing
Dave to
burst into laughter once again.
Roger introduces the show with a "good morning" and introduces 'More
Blues'with remarks about it
being "too late for mind expanding music, so we'll play
some music
to calm down by", presaging his
words years later before the
concluding encore of the infamous
Montreal '77 concert.
There is a minor amount of tape hiss, and a somewhat more annoying
distortion
during loud passages
which prevent a EX+ rating for this CD, but then again how
often
does a newly uncovered Pink Floyd soundboard recording like this
appear?
The most important thing is Disc2, Track 3 'Just Another Twelve Bar'
It's the
first available recording of
this blues number
Here are the songs intros by Roger:
- Astronomy Domine: (someone yells "Roger!") 'Good morning, this is
called
Astronomy Domine'
- Fat Old Sun: 'This one's Dave's and it's called Fat Old Sun'
- Atom Heart Mother: 'We've got a new album out at the moment and
it's called
Atom Heart Mother and
there's a track on it called AHM, which is got brass
instruments and
a choir, as well as us, but we do a
version without the brass and
choir and we're going to do that now
and then we're going to take a break'
- Cymbaline: 'A song we recorded for a film called More. The song is
called Cymbaline.
- The Embryo: 'This song is called The Embryo'
- Just Another Twelve Bar: No intro
- More Blues: 'Ok, it's a bit late for mind expanding, so we're
going to play music
to calm down to'
(song fades out before it's finished, so there are no furthercomments). |
