I got this one in a trade, so I'm simply reporting back the comments that are in the original text file:


Comments: Complete show, and the second date of the Floyd's 1977 North American Tour.

The 'Intro' has all of the opening sound effects, a relative rarity for 1977 audience recordings -- church bells, sheep, etc; quite interesting. The tape also captures most of the interlude between the second set and the encore.

There is a cut 0:27 into 'Pigs On the Wing Pigs (Pt. 1)' which is in the original recording. Perhaps the taper didn't particulary care for the tune and thought he'd save some tape? 'Part 2' is very sweet, especially Snowy's solo. Roger clearly yells "31" at 4:33 into 'Pigs 3DO'.

'Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5)' starts with what sounds like a gong, while Rick's opening bit is as eerie as ever. There's a dropout at 12:04 into the track, which sounds as if the taper was having a problem with his tape deck. Gilmour, as usual, performs yeoman's work during 'Shine On (Pts. 6-9)'. Gilmour's guitar during 'Money' is as spacey as I've ever heard him play this song.

Quality is VG+ to EX-, with some clipping that could be removed at the highest volumes.

Overall, a nice show . . . no thanks to the guy next to the taper who couldn't help himself from yelling "wooo" at various times throughout the show.

Notes:

very nice unprocessed version
at a first listen I thought it was not really an upgrade to the other versions I have but I had to change my mind after
a deep check.
indeed here there's nothing more than on the other versions:
- the difference in length is due on a difference in speed only (here is a bit slow, in the other versions is a tad too
fast)
- POTW 1 has a little inner cut (missing a little portion) in all the copies circulating and here too.
but this is actually crispier, sounds more 'natural'.
what makes this an upgrade for real though is the fact that all the other versions circulating have a weird change of
sound quality about at the beginning of WYWH ... from that point till the end uses to sound much muffled,
not really good ... this problem is not on the master.

Waters shouts 31 on Pigs (3DO) 2nd verse at 4:15

I got the cassette tapes for this CD-r release in the early 90's. They are 2nd generation. I have a version of this show I received on CDr's that is marked as being from Reel Master. I could have used that to work from but decided the cassettes were better quality. Sometimes you just have to trust your ears. Others may have a different opinion.
