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).
