Original Comments:
Not sure if this one's ever been up here before, but it's a very clear and well-balanced audience recording from a low-gen source, and complete. I divided this roughly in half, since it does fit on two discs, but it could be seamlessly fused back together at the break between the 'Breathe' reprise and 'The Great Gig in the Sky' with a sound editing program for those who would rather have the 'DSOM' set on a single CD and 'Echoes' on a third disc.
I don't know how this compares to any of the bootleg titles that may be out there, but I do know there's at least one other source that's inferior sound-wise and less complete. I welcome anyone else to post artwork, although the sound files would probably have to be re-divided to match the track listings.

Spectre's Comments:
Downloaded from the Echoeshub. Documentation with this release states its the 'CASS[1]>CDR[1]' version of this show, but the track lengths dont support this claim. Sound is very sharp and clean. Minor volume fluctuations at spots, but a very nice audience recording. This has quickly become one of my favorite bootlegs from Pink Floyd. 'Docs' folder came with the original release so I left it intact.

Some changes I did to this release:

[1] The transition from Breathe (Reprise) to TGGITS had a few secs of music repeating so I ran the tracks thru Audacity and cleaned it up.

[2] Renamed the files to a more standard format, recompressed them with FLAC, aligned on sector boundaries, and generated new fingerprints using Traders Little Helper.

[3] Created some artwork for this release. Its not the best, but its better than nothing.

Enjoy the show! Its excellent! Thanks to the people on the hub for sharing this gem!
