Recorded at the Ford Auditorium, Detroit, MI, USA. Good audience recording. From the info file: THE PINK FLOYD April 27, 1972 Ford Auditorium Detroit, MI, US GENERATION: ANA(2) -> DAT(?) -> WAV(M) [16bit/48kHz] -> WAV(1) [16bit/48kHz] -> FLAC [Level 8] TRANSFERS: early 2000s(?) cas>dat xfer, unknown equipment Jun-2013 dat>wav xfer, Oct-2013 flac processing Sony SDT-9000 (firmware 12.2) -> Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI PCI Adapter -> WaveDAT 1.23 EDITING/ENCODING: Adobe Audition 3.0 -> CD Wave 1.95.1 -> Trader's Little Helper 2.6.0 SETLIST: [02:22] Breathe [04:54] Travel Sequence [06:23] Time [01:08] Home Again [04:33] Mortality Sequence [07:11] Money [08:35] Us & Them [05:42] Any Colour You Like [08:44] One of These Days [12:03] Careful With That Axe, Eugene [23:46] Echoes [12:38] Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. [98:04] total NOTES: Frankly, this is a greatly flawed digital rendering and is presented with a number of caveats. One channel is more or less fine, but the other has the most bizarre waveform I have ever seen. Not sure if the damage was introduced onto the original analog source, in the A>D process, or some subsequent clone. Not in the present extraction, which was performed no less than 4 times on 4 different DAT recorders. Ultimately, there is diginoise in Breathe, a dropout in U&T, ACYL and Echoes are cut, and this source tape misses Blues. Still with me? Good. ...Wait, why are you still with me on this? Didn't you read that last sentence? What kind of obsessive sadist are you?! Well, I sent some samples of this to a friend on this site for review a few months ago, this was still enthusiastically sought as a potential upgrade, aforementioned flaws and all. So, et voila. If somebody wishes to work on the source, I might suggest cloning one channel and scrapping the other. Additionally, there might be some speed issues. However, the present copy is an unaltered transfer of what is on my DAT. There are reasons why I haven't scrapped the flawed left channel on this initial upload, as may be particularly evident near the end. Aside from the LP, this show seems to be something of a gap in terms of circulating copies, which is unfortunate--a proper rendering of the source should sound fantastic. Hopefully there will instead be some new source for the date forthcoming, to make any hypothetical tinkering on this particular set obsolete. I seem to remember a different transfer of a comparable (same?) source existing, but I don't seem to have it on hand.
