| Notes |
| Recorded at the St. Tropez Music Festival, St. Tropez, France. Track 2 is taken from the soundcheck. Track 3 fades in. From the info file: Pink Floyd St. Tropez Music Festival St. Tropez, France August 8, 1970 soundcheck / audience (?) vg/vg- setlist 1. The Embryo 10:42 2. Cymbaline 2:58 3. Atom Heart Mother 13:12 26:52 Downloaded from pinkfloyd DC hub. No lineage, but probably cd > cdr(?) > .wav > .shn Checked with SHNTOOL, and t01 was not cut on sector boundaries, so files have been repaired. Decided to re-compress as .flac and generated .ffp file. pf1970-08-08t01.flac:61993775a4ac8c939a749cc65d3148e2 pf1970-08-08t02.flac:62b9c9bf276e8f2a03a8005d3278dfa7 pf1970-08-08t03.flac:ffd73dda820fa785a2366f037621faed notes: These three tracks were paired on the hub with three tracks from 1971-06-12 Lyon, which leads me to believe the original CD was 'Foreign Legion.' I did not download the Lyon tracks because they sounded terrible and are available in radio broadcast quality on FRP 'Broadcasting from Radio Europa 1.' The Embryo ends with crowd noise, so it's possibly from the show instead of the soundcheck. Cymbaline (t02) starts out with about 1 minute 20 seconds of bass/drum/keyboard noodling, then after what appears to be an edit DG sings the first verse (guitar, bass and keybds only) and stops. There's some communication between the stage and the board(?) then DG sings some more before fading out. Truly soundcheck material, and pretty rare. I can't think of any other soundchecks that have been recorded (pre-1987), so this might be a unique recording. AHM fades up, and also ends in cheers/clapping, so perhaps it is another track from the show itself. From The Pink List http://www7.brinkster.com/pinkfloyd/view.asp?PKey=1016 The Pink List has a different order, with Cymbaline, AHM, then The Embryo, which makes more sense, especially if only Cymbaline is from the soundcheck. This version (not the same as above) is about 29 minutes long. In The Flesh has this setlist (p. 95) 1. Astronomy Domine 2. Cymbaline 3. Atom Heart Mother 4. The Embryo 5. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 'Parts of the festival, including Pink Floyd, were reportedly recorded and broadcast on French TV' - possible source? uploaded to easytree.org 2004.11.30 ..malick |
