I recorded this on the first day of the Hyde Park Calling Festival in London. My position was approximately 250 feet from the stage, dead centre, and just to the left of the mixing desk. It was very hot and sunny and the crowd had been partaking of alcohol all day, hence the rowdy atmosphere around me. It was also the day that England lost to Portugal in the World Cup, so I think maybe some of them got a bit wasted to compensate ...

For this show, Roger used quad speakers positioned high up on scaffolding towers. Two of these towers were located approximately 50 feet directly to my left and right, which accounts for some of the weird delays to the sound effects heard in the Dark Side in the Moon set (the clocks in time, almost all of On The Run, the voices at the end of Money et al).

I did actually turn my body towards these speakers at times in an experimental attempt to catch some of the effects. I'm not entirely sure it worked - you decide!

One thing I wish I could have recorded was the flame throwers on the very top of the stage construction which were set off during the choruses of Comfortably Numb, hence the cheering the first time they sing it. Believe me, they were HOT!
