| Recorded at the Convention Hall, Community Concourse, San Diego, CA, USA. Great audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd 1971-10-17 San Diego, Cass(1)toDAT(1) (16bit/48kHz) Pink Floyd Convention Hall, Community Concourse, San Diego, California, USA 17 October 1971 Lineage: Cassette (1) > DAT(1)(48kHz) > Tascam DA-20mkII > Coax > Edirol UA-1D > Audacity > FLAC > Reaper v4.61 > FLAC (16bit/48kHz) xACT used to create FFP 01 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 02 Fat Old Sun 03 Atom Heart Mother 04 Embryo 05 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 06 Cymabline 07 Blues Total running time 1 hour 39 mins 9 secs This a particularly nice version of the well known stereo recording by Gordon S. He recorded on reel-to-reel and his master was lost. All known copies derive from his 1st gen cassette backup copy. My thanks, as ever, to goldenband for his helpful speed correction advice. Corrections were made varying between +2.1 to +2.4%. The left channel mic facing the stage harshes out during the loud parts and some work in with a tool such as iZotope RX might go some way towards fixing this but I decided to keep it raw for this release. In higher gen copies that I have tested the high end is so attenuated that it mellows the recording back out. The highs are intact on my DAT. In its report about the concert the San Diego Union said: “The Community Concourse was turned into a space ship for two hours last night by English group Pink Floyd. Their music, as strange as their name, was an odd mixture of electronic effects, whispers, screams and breathy vocal intonations, which created a 2001 effect. The group showed great sensitivity for balance and continuity. Each set Floyd played created an overpowering feeling of weightlessly drifting in space. The music was uncluttered and flowing.” For more of this article see Glenn Povey’s Echoes book. Neonknight, December 2014 |
