well, this is from an alternate recorder than the common roios 'Amsterdam Free Concert' and the Ayanami release 'At Free Concert'. And it sounds far better, more solid. Sound is nice, a good EX- near to EX. This one was sourced from the LP ROiO 'Early Tours 70-71' but this is not the R&D remaster, since here setlist is different and the R&D lasts more, but both remasters are taken from the same LP ROiO. And one of the tracks is not from this date?, is from another concert (i think it is ASoS but now i cant confirm it... neither the date) i'll post the info later, or i will correct me if i'm wrong).

update 10-Dec-2004: after a couple of listen, it sounds as the whole gig so there's no misdated track, it is all from 1971-06-26.

original notes: An absolutely superb performance from this free outdoor concert in a forest near Amsterdam, where it apparently was pouring down with rain. The quality is amazingly clear for an audience recording. After removing hiss and crackle caused by an original vinyl pressing and carefully removing any nasty clicks and pops, the quality is now first class. There are some very interesting versions of songs especially 'Cymbaline' with the heavy breathing instead of the footsteps, and 'Embryo' with Roger's 'Grooving with a Pict' type ranting, and an extremely nice 'Saucerful of Secrets'. All in all one of the most enjoyable concerts I have come across in a long time. -gotta_be_craz
