This recording is pretty ropy. Unlike the circulating 'Tempe' transfer though, my tape actually sounds like the band are playing in the same room, rather than sounding like the taper was stood in the carpark! The taper's equipment struggles badly with the volume of the show. The audience are absolutely mental! Listen to the start of 'Breathe'! It must have been an incredible show. This transfer betters the Tempe release in a number of ways. It is more complete in terms of announcements and audience prior to 'Raving And Drooling' - almost a minute more content here. 'Speak To Me' is also more complete; one and a half minutes longer prior to the point 'Tempe' kicks in to the track. My tape ends with 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' which cuts after about 6 minutes. The sound of 'Shine On' is different to that of the rest of the show. The audience are definitely from the US, and quite intrusive, but the sound is wider, and clearer. Given 'Shine On parts 1-5' would have been performed between 'You've Got To Be Crazy' and Dark Side, I'd expect the sound to be consistent with those parts. And changing batteries would have seen a sustained improvement in sound through and into Dark Side, which is not apparent here. I've not been able to identify the source of Shine On, but it shouldn't be too difficult given the constant mic-bumping and distinctive audience chatter. Anyway, this is a very worthy upgrade to 'Tempe'. I hope you enjoy it. Beechwoods 14th November 2013 |
