PINK FLOYD

 
Trademark Moo

Highland - HL630

Matrix Disc: No visible

(P) 2003    Made in Italy


Audience Recording

 

   

                                           


 

Notes:

Sounds much better than the other versions available from this recording and is much
longer, including more tune-ups and announcements too (not only the intro to
Astronomy Domine actually, but more!)

Again, the recording itself would not deserve more than a VG/VG+ and the taper and the
lady talk really a lot (all it is clearly audible here, from this would be possible to pull out
an accurate transcription maybe, if you'll be ever interested in knowing what they were
talking about) but this is a real low gen.

Sourced version, once you get this you'll trash the rest!

A Saucerful of Secrets is obviously cut.

Notes from the Bootleg Times Of Pink Floyd:

The circulated source in collector's circle is incomplete, this Highland release is also same.

BUT, Highland release is much better than the previous one.

I think it comes from much lower gen. source.

Great audience recording.

And this release includes Roger's introduction before 'Atronomy Domine'.

He says that the band chaneged the echo unit or something like that.

And it includes about 9 mins from the begining of 'A Saucerful Of Secrets' with Roger's introduction 'This could be the last piece we play .... the title track 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'.

Notes from http://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com

Trademark Moo is the earliest extant tape from Pink Floyd’s third US tour.

Highland’s is the first commercial silver release of this show but it has circulated as Sunny
is the Day, Genuine New York 1970,
and New York 11.4.70.

The label unearthed a copy that is closer to the master cassette and is more complete
and much better sounding than anything else in current circulation.

It begins with Roger Waters speaking about tuning up, staggering about and changing
the echo unit before the band is ready to play the opening number “Astronomy Domine”
and the tape runs out at nine minutes nineteen seconds in the final song “A Saucerful
Of Secrets”.

There is a small cut at the end of the nightmare interlude in the middle of “Cymbaline”
but otherwise is unedited. It is very bright, clear and in great shape for a tape that is
more than thirty years old.

The third tour began on April 9th at the Fillmore East, followed by a show at Five Stages
in Chicago on April 10th and then this show at the Pritchard Gymnasium on the campus
of the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

They brought the Azimuth Coordinator with them for the first time to America and the
effects are audible on this tape, especially during “Cymbaline”.

The usual ninety-minute set was cut down to just over an hour for unexplained reasons.

The two acoustic numbers, “Grantchester Meadows” (usually segued with
“Astronomy Domine”) and “Green Is The Colour” (usually segued with
“Careful With That Axe, Eugene”) were dropped along with “The Embryo”.

What is left in an intense performance dominated by the long psychedelic instrumentals
with no respite for the audience.

“Cymbaline” is performed very well and has the audience wondering about the
footsteps during the “nightmare” section.

“Atom Heart Mother” is played six months before the album’s release and is received well.

By the end Waters says, “This could be the last piece we play …. the title track
‘A Saucerful Of Secrets’” which the taper says he likes.

The beginning, “Something Else”, really benefits from the Azimuth Coordinator
sounding very spooky in the cavernous venue and the tape unfortunately runs out after
nine minutes as “Syncopated Pandemonium” is heating up.

This recording is known for the taper chatting with his date during the brakes in the
music and they have some bizarre conversations about classes and the CIA.

Pink Floyd would come back to Stony Brook in support of Meddle and play on
November 14th, 1971 of which no tape has ever surfaced.

These are the only two concerts they performed in Suffolk County and cemented their
legend on Long Island that lasts to this day.
