| Notes |
| Recorded at the Crystal Palace Garden Party, London, UK. Nice audience recording. Sounds a bit better than 'Return of the Dead Sons...' but has more chatter (or is that a good thing?) :) From the info file: Pink Floyd Crystal Palace Garden Party London, England May 15, 1971 'Echoes Of a Distant Time' - Atomic Cow Recordings ACR-011 Disc One: 1. The Taper Speaks/Announcements/Band Tuneups 4:27 2. Atom Heart Mother 15:15 3. Applause/The Taper Speaks/Rain/Tuneups 1:58 4. Careful With That Axe, Eugene 10:02 5. Applause/Tuneups 1:59 6.

Embryo 9:45 Source: Audience (4th gen>CD-R[?]>EAC>WAV>SHN) CD Reference: Return of the Dead sons from the Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace Garden Party 15.5.71, The Giant Octopus, Live At The Crystal Palace Bowl 1971, Echoes Of a Distant Time LP Reference: Comments: Another excellent release... this is a 4th generation source... other releases of this show don't even compare to this one (so far). It's longer than others (just extra taper chatter) but is still missing the last 2 songs (I believe they have never been recovered)... This one has a bit of hiss but it's nothing like the other hissy releases that were put out... contains also the excellent performance of a very early 'Return of The Son Of Nothing'. And here's the comments made by Roger, Roy (taper) and Brian (friend) during the show: [ROGER: One two. One two. One. One Two. One. One Two. One Two. One. etc...] [ANNOUNCER: Hello. There is a guy named Phil LaHaze who is in ... hospital. Would you Nick please go to ... hospital where Phil LaHaze is.] [ROGER: One two.] [ROY: ...unintelligible...] [ROGER: I say, can we go?] Atom Heart Mother [ROGER: Thank you.] [BRIAN: And suddenly ... Ask them if we'll be seing ... Can you get down there as well?] [ROY: Yeah, well don't keep talkin' - it's all going down on the tape.] [BRIAN: You know we're standing there ... all the umbrellas coming out.] [ROY: Knock it off.] [BRIAN: You know Roy we better go somewhere under that tree there.] [ROGER: This is ... This is called 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'.] [ROY: I don't wanna go.] [BRIAN: Where?] [ROY: We're all staying here.] [BRIAN: What are you gonna do?] [ROY: I wanna tape this.] [BRIAN: Did you, yeah, have you switched it off?] [ROY: No it's still going.] [BRIAN: Look we're gonna get wet, soaking wet.] [ROY: Where we gonna go then?] [BRIAN: What? Where they're selling those plastic bags, over there.] [ROY: Over there in that tent.] [BRIAN: What about going there? All of them, you can buy the plastic bag.] [ROY: Takes more than one.] [BRIAN: Too late.] [ROY: Listen, stop the lot from getting in on it.] [BRIAN: Look what are you doing? It's raining, pouring down. Go under there. Brian it's no ...] [ROY: Go to that tent then.] [BRIAN: Which tent? The big one? You're getting soaking wet aren't you.] [ROY: If I take my jacket off I can sit out in the rain.] [BRIAN: You don't consider...] [+some more babble] Careful With That Axe, Eugene [ROGER: Thank you. It's called 'Fat Old Sun'. One two. One two.] Fat Old Sun [ROGER: Ok.] >Tape cut< [BRIAN: The tape running? ....] [ROY: It's gonna start in a second. Don't know when it's gonna start.] [BRIAN: You're running the tape aren't you?] [ROY: So what?] [BRIAN: Yes, but you ... [ROGER: This one's called 'The Return Of The Son Of Nothing'.] [BRIAN: You know what that means?] [ROY: No, I've never heard of it.] The Return Of The Sons Of Nothing [BRIAN: That'll be 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'] [ROY: Yeah.] [BRIAN: It got that ...] Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun >Tape cut< [ROGER: This is called 'Embryo'.] [BRIAN: Did you know about it ...?] [ROY: Yeah.] [ROGER: One two. One.] [BRIAN: ...] [ROY: No.] Embryo Quality: VG Overall Rating: 8/10 |
