| Recorded at the Empire Pool, Wembley, London, UK. Fantastic audience recording. From the info file: Original... ***** WEED ANNOUNCEMENT ***** Well sort of. More like a re-weed announcement. As many of you are aware, Harvested's initial release of Black Holes in the Sky contained numerous flaws of a digital nature. The most serious being a series of clicks during Us & Them. We'll call this intial release rev 0. A new, rev A, release is now available. I am looking for one volunteer to begin weeding this 'improved' version via the shorten format. For those of you curious about the 'improvements' made, let me direct you to our website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harvested-weeds Once there, click on the 'database' section. The database consists of 'known glitches' on a select number of Harvested releases. This database will grow to include all releases eventually. Those glitches that appear on the rev 0 table that do not appear on the rev A table are the ones that have been 'fixed'. A quick word about glitches: The definition of what constitutes a glitch is very subjective. These tables do not list each and every glitch. Those that I consider to be minor are not listed. And my definition of what constitutes minor changes from one title to the next. For example, Animal Instincts is so beautiful and pristine, a 10, that I'll list the few minor glitches that it does have. Whereas on Black Holes in the Sky, the overall SQ isn't as good, 8 or 9 (another very subjective rating), and as such minor glitches are more common and I ignore them. The tables also list things that are not digital glitches, like microphone taps and feedback. Again, I do not list all mic taps. Most mic taps when heard can easily be identified as a mic tap. However, some mic taps can sound like clicks. The database lists these types. That way, you can identify the extraneous noise as a mic tap and not a glitch of digital origin. Remember, IMO mic taps are not glitches. I do not 'repair' them. The only way to repair them would be to go back in time and prevent the taper from bumping his mic during the show. Now who activated the cloak on my TARDIS? I can't seem to find it anywhere :-) Ed. ******* Pink Floyd HRV CDR 022 Black Holes In The Sky Rev A British Winter Tour -1974 London Empire Pool Wembley, London November 15, 1974 Roger Waters: Bass, Vocals David Gilmour: Guitar, Vocals Rick Wright: Keyboards Nick Mason: Drums Dick Parry: Sax Carlene Williams: Vocals Vanetta Fields: Vocals Remarks: This is the Harvested reissue of Black Holes In The Sky (known as Rev A.). Quite a bit of care and cleanup has taken place to lower the number of known glitches on the Rev 0 release from 51 to 13 on disk 1 and from 77 to 13 on disk 2. Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Raving And Drooling (Sheep), and You've Got To Be Crazy (Dogs) were unreleased at that time and the latter two especially were prototype peices during this tour. Sheep and Dogs wouldn't appear in a studio form until about 3 years later. This was also the debut tour for Mr. Screen (the big circle screen that Dave got to keep in the Pink Floyd 1987 LTD. settlement) and you can hear the audience reacting to the images being displayed at certain points during the show (mostly during the end of DS0TM). |
