Waters, Roger - REC 3, The Thin Ice In Omaha (78jazz) |

Notes |
Recorded at the Qwest Center, Omaha, NE, USA. Pretty bad audience recording. From the info file: Roger Waters Friday, June 29, 2007 Omaha, NE Qwest Center 'The Thin Ice in Omaha' Disc 1: In the Flesh Mother Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) Have a Cigar Wish You Were Here Southampton Dock The Fletcher Memorial Home Perfect Sense (Part 1) Perfect Sense (Part 2) Leaving Beirut Sheep Disc 2: Speak to Me Breathe On the Run Time Breathe (Reprise) The Great Gig in the Sky Money Us and Them Any Colour You Like Brain Damage Eclipse The Happiest Days of Our Lives Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 Vera Bring the Boys Back Home Comfortably Numb I am the taper of this and the reason there is no lineage above is because I borrowed a Microtrack and forgot the mic info. It was loaned to me to get the Police show 3 days later in St. Louis, but that version had serious low and midrange distortion and was eventually inadvertently deleted. I was going to give it a test run at the scheduled Tool concert in Sioux City a few days before this show, but that got cancelled. Out of the 3 shows the Microtrack was headed to, only this recording survived. The reason I sat on this for 5 years is because I would say this source is inferior to the one that was circulated out shortly after this. Why the release? There may be some people who want this, and I think the distortion here isn't too bad (it is mostly bad when the band is cranking sonically, and the bass drum seems to hit just a bit too hard on the levels here. Thank taper error for this). This was named as such because we moved a bit closer to the band for the second set and were around a host of very chatty people. I also had some mic issues with the cable becoming dislodged, so there are chunks missing of the second set. I am glad I saw this twice, for both shows I caught were excellent. |
