Audience Recording

 

 


 

There are 3 versions of this concert available and this is the only one mastered at the correct speed and pitch.  (The sound is really excellent throughout with little crowd noises)


Few highlights

This gig feels very "jammy" as Dave Gilmour-for the first time- had a guitarist partner to interact with live in the newly recruted (and long-time friend) Snowy White. 

This brought in a healthy touch of competition which could explain the excellent and innovative soloing throughout the gig. 

A lot of the tracks from Animals are much longer, adding a few sections here and there to either jam on or extend the guitar soloing parts which are delightful 
(Gilmour's sound is BIG and his playing very much like on his first solo album). 

Pigs On The Wing 2 for example turns into something like the instrumental of "Mother" 
(from "The Wall") and generally there is a similarity to these "The Wall" performances here.

The second part of the show is a really beautiful interpretation of the full Wish You Were Here album + a few extras. 

"Shine On" is played to perfection with the whole band really tight, the atmosphere is very dreamy with the rare contrast of "Have A Cigar" and later on "Money" which really rock! 
(In rotating quadriphonia!) "Careful" really ends the gig well and sounds much "bigger" 
than any other version. 

This was the last tour on which it was performed.
