| Notes |
| Recorded at the O2 Arena, London, UK. Great audience recording. From the info file: Roger Waters London, UK The O2 Arena 2011-05-12 A very special Event. The WALL, presented by Roger Waters at the end of the European Leg of the WALL Tour. This show was unique because David Gilmour appeared and played Comfortably Numb on the top of the wall. At the end of the show he and Nick Mason were also on stage and helped play Outside the Wall. At least three tapers were there that night and a seating chart of the O2 arena allows identifcation of their location within the venue. The first was Grolsch who was in Block 111. This is located far left. The second is The Doctor who was in section B3 Row A which is center right. The last is Lordsnooty who was in section A1 row K which is center left. Given these locations the last two tape sources seemed ideal for producing a true stereo recording of this event. These two recording locations are almost symmetric off the midline of the venue center. Placing source Doctor in the right channel and source Lordsnooty in the left channel resulted in this unique sonic experience.

Remaster The Doctor source balancing EQ, adjusting peaks and mixing channels. 2. Remaster Lordsnooty source balancing EQ, amplifying, correcting peaks and mixing channels. 3. Sync recordings. Despite equipment, Lordsnooty slowed during the last 20 minutes and needed fine speed correction for sync to be successful. 4. Place The Doctor in Right channel and Lordsnooty in Left channel. 5. Balance power and amplitudes of the two channels. Dynamic characteristics of the two recorders differ so they were manually matched as well as possible. 6. Correct phasing of the two sources for proper stereo field creation. 7. Manually adjust dynamics and correct spot errors in merged recording. 8. Cover non-overlap segments at the beginning and end with 2 channel mono. 9. Track according to Pink Floyd, commercial live reference. Notes: Waves of applause can be heard during the beginning of Comfortably Numb as more and more people realize that David Gilmour is playing.
