Comments:
Speak to Me: Some guy talking during the opening. He seems very
impressed. The volume fluctuates at the transition into the Breathe.

Breathe: Vocals clear and up front. Very nice

Travel Sequence: Very nice, almost 8 minutes long. Pause between Travel
Sequence and Time, not a gap, there's still hiss, just silence for a few
seconds.

Time: Again, very nice. Nice, delicate guitar works before the lyrics
begin. They have a little trouble with the harmony in the vocals but
what the heck, this is the first performance. Lyrics are clear but slightly
more distant than Breathe.

Breathe Reprise: No lyrics, I miss Home, Home again... It's just an
instrumental at this point with the lead guitar where the lyrics should be.

Mortality Sequence: Lyrics are a bit distant but this may be by design.
Annoying buzzing sound begins about 3:40 into the track. The cash register
sounds for money start.

Money: Cash Register comes to front, annoying buzzing fades (mostly).
No lyrics, they finally just trail off and the damn buzzing noise comes
back.

Waters announces that due to "Severe mechanical and electrical horrors”
they can't do and more "of that" but they will do something else.

Atom Heart Mother: Quality returns big time. Whatever was making the
buzzing sound is gone and we're back to a nothing more than a light hiss.

Careful with That Axe, Eugene: This is supposed to help dissipate the
audience’s “built up adrenalin”. The building tension of CWTAE doesn’t
seem to be a good sedative. A nice version of a personal favorite.

One of These Days: Interesting version. The quality remains the same
as the other tracks. Some minor left/right fluctuations at about 6:20.

Echoes: This is the B side of our latest release, it’s called Echoes.
No opening pings, just very soft piano under the hiss. There are a few
pops here and there. They sound like equipment issues rather than DAE
clicks. Ah, the harmony is much better here, perhaps they’ve had more
practice with this one.

Saucerful of Secrets: Sorry, not a favorite of mine, e.g. I won’t listen
to it. Quality seems the same at the rest of the recording.


Overall: Light hiss throughout. This is really amazing, it's actually a
pleasure it listen to with the exception of the buzzing during Money.
Track transitions are a bit rough; perhaps the taper is turning off his
deck between tracks to save tape/batteries/etc. Disc 2 initially seems
a bit short with only two tracks but total time is about 44 minutes.


I seem to average 1 like or comment per 100 downloads. I don't care if bad or good, but please rate my torrents
