| Notes |
| Recorded at the Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park, London, England. Very good audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd Date: 17 February, 1972 Location: The Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park, London, England Source: Cassette(0)>DAT(4)>CDR>EAC>SHN Rating: EX Disc One: 1. Speak To Me 1:11 2. Breathe 2:46 3. Travel Sequence 6:44 4. Time 6:27 5. Mortality Sequence (dropouts) 4:09 6. Money 7:56 7. Us And Them 7:02 8. Scat 3:28 9. Lunatic Song 3:57 10. Eclipsed 3:13 Total: 46:53 Disc Two: 1. Tune-ups - One Of These Days 11:09 2. Careful With That Axe, Eugene 15:45 3. Tune-ups 2:06 4. Echoes 27:00 5. Tune-Ups 1:44 6. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 14:40 Total: 72:24 Comments: This show really must be listened to with headphones, since there a lot of details and nuances in the performance that are well worth listening to. For example, note Rick's fade-out at the end of 'Eclipsed'. Disc one has a few minor dropouts early in the master tape, but they are not too distracting. There is also one small dropout in 'One Of These Days', and the closing stanza of 'Echoes'. ----- From http://www.pf-db.com/index.php?concert_id=880&bootleg_id=2160: Comment: 1st gen Hi-Fi Cd1 01 Speak To Me 1:11 02 Breathe 2:46 03 Travel Sequence 6:44 04 Time / Breathe (Reprise) 6:27 05 Mortality Sequence 4:09 06 Money 7:56 07 Us And Them 7:02 08 Any Colour You Like 3:28 09 Lunatic Song 3:57 10 Eclipse 3:13 Cd2 01 Tune-Ups/One Of These Days 11:09 02 Careful With That Axe, Eugene 15:45 03 Tune-Ups 2:06 04 Echoes 27:00 05 Tune-Ups 1:44 06 Set The Controls 14:40 TOT LENGTH: 119:18 sound quality is not extraordinarily better than my second gen. as I did hope it was ... but this is actually the uncut version including all the recording - nothing omitted, so if you don't get a significant upgrade in sound you'd at least get something more in length ;) notes as they came with the files: Absolutely fantastic recording of the first of the nights at the Rainbow Theatre in 1972, and also the show where the press was introduced to 'Dark Side Of The Moon', or 'Eclipse' as it was called then. Recommended to everyone. Virtually no hiss at all on this one. This show really must be listened to with headphones, since there's a lot of details and nuances in the performance that are well worth listening to. For example, note Rick's fade-out at the end of 'Eclipsed'. Disc one has a few minor dropouts early in the master tape, and two cuts in 'Time' on the first chorus, but they are not too distracting. There is also one small dropout in 'One Of These Days', and the closing stanza of 'Echoes'. -littlesheep last edited - 2003-12-26 : orig entered - 2003-12-26 --- Comment: 1st gen Hi-Fi this was discovered to be a 1st generation Hi-Fi. Exact lineage is: cass[Master] > Hi-Fi > DAT(4) > CDR(?) at least i could get this wonderful 1st gen, which first it was claimed as master but now it is confirmed that it has a Hi-Fi generation. Great sound, a nice EX in my book (you could give it an EX- if you're too critic... but i think it sounds great). Recommended, you should seek for this one. -gotta_be_crazy last edited - 2004-08-04 : orig entered - 2004-08-04 |
