This comes from the 1st generation tape of the great performance in Rotterdam. This is Pink Floyd at their best! It has less hiss than other tapes commonly in circulation. SQ is easily VG+ or EX-. Except where noted below, it includes complete and sometimes rather lengthy tuneups between tracks. I really like this concert since it includes Pictish rants during 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'. The concert itself is also quite long with some interesting jams and gong bashing! This is an essential roio. Any 'serious' Pink Floyd collectors should have this. Disc One: - 'STCFTHOTS' - Very minor break in the master tape at 14:48. - There is an extended tuneup session after 'Cymbaline', which I have split as a separate track. Disc Two: - 'ASOS' - There are 10 seconds missing from the end of Roger's pre-break announcement. The few missing words are found on the ROIO 'The Band Who Ate Asteroids For Breakfast.' Roger has a chance to let loose with a short Pictish rant. - 'Atom Heart Mother' - Complete with brass and choir conducted by Jerry Mitchell. Edit: Added 11 secords at the end of ASOS and 50 sec (crowd cheers) at the end of AHM from 'The Band Who Ate Asteroids For Breakfast' by carefully adjusting the sound level, nothing is altered to the 1st gen. Now I can retire the ROIO 'The Band Who Ate Asteroids For Breakfast' since it's lower quality than this. - fatoldpig 4/6/2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trade/share freely, do not sell.
