| Notes |
| Recorded at the Vorst Nationaal, Brussels, Belgium. Great audience recording. From the info file: Over a decade ago I met a man who sold me a bootleg of (The) Dark Side Of The Moon, recorded by him on the 5th of December 1972 in Vorst Nationaal - Forest National Brussels. Most Pink Floyd biographies have it wrong when they state that Pink Floyd gave two shows in - what they call Vorst Nationaal Sportpaleis Brussels - on the fifth and the sixth as these are *two* separate halls, Vorst Nationaal is in Brussels and Sportpaleis is in Antwerp. There is also confusion about the ROIOs of this show or shows, even on Yeeshkul. It already starts with the Cucamonga radio show that broadcast two tracks of this concert, coming from the same man who sold me the CD six years earlier. The Cucamonga torrents on Yeeshkul are listed as: Pink Floyd - Sports Palais Brussels 1972 http://www.yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread.php?t=223 and PF 19721205 Some Old Bastards In Cucamunga FM broadcast http://www.yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21285 The concert torrents: BRUSSELS 05.12.72 [REMASTERED] - previously known as 'St. Ouen 02.12.1972 Remastered' - Sport Paleis Vorst National, Brussels, Belgium, December 5th 1972 http://www.yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13795 Sport Paleis Vorst National, Brussels, Belgium, December 5th 1972 1972-12-05 - St. Ouen [from Syd] http://www.yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3928 pf1972-12-05 - St. Ouen [Remastered] ST.

Now about the tape (taken from the bootlegger aka OPUS 5) QUOTE The original recording was made with a Uher Report Stereo tape recorder and AKG microphones. I sold dozens of these tapes (4-track and 9.5 cm / sec stereo) via the pub circuit in Mechelen ('Verloren Zoon', 'Golem'). I refused to deliver on compact cassette because the quality was too bad in those days. However, I know that someone in Antwerp copied my tape on compact cassettes and sold these as well although they were poor in quality. The boss of the Golem pub told me one day that an Englishman had bought one of my tapes to press them on vinyl. END QUOTE I've never came across this vinyl version, but I do know that the concert had been circulating on compact cassette in the days when the internet didn't exist. So here is my copy of that concert, taken from a CD-ROM digitalised and remastered from the original tape by its maker in 1999.
