Notes:

Very nice audience recording from early in the Pink Floyd "Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour. I am 99% sure that this is the "RB" source -- a legendary Chicago-area taper who turned out phenomenal recordings throughout the 1970s and 1980s (and probably still does today, although his recordings tend not to circulate as widely). I think this is one of the top audience recordings from the tour.

I decided to upload my source even though there is a 40-second cut between "Money" and "ABitW" because the sound quality appears to be much better than other versions in circulation. I surgically inserted the missing 40 seconds from the "Delusions of Maturity" bootleg which appears to be the same recording from a much higher-generation tape. I speed-adjusted and did some minor EQ to make the transition as seamless as possible; you shouldn't notice much other than a significant drop in quality for those 40 seconds. This is a brilliant recording; there is, however, some audible hiss during the quietest parts -- I thought it better for the individual to de-hiss to their own taste rather than risk eliminating some fidelity from the overall recording.

It appears that they didn't perform "A New Machine Pt. II" this night for reason -- it didn't appear that there was a cut in the tape, although I may have missed it. This seems unusual, though, because Floyd wasn't a band to tinker much with the setlist.

No artwork, sorry. Fingerprints are included, however.

Notes: Transferred from analog cassette (probably 2nd gen). Added some fades for tape
flips. One tape flip apparently cuts off "A New Machine (Part 2)" and another cuts the
beginning of "ABitW(PartII)". Same taper as 1988-05-20 "Hey Asshole!" and it appears to
be a different source than "Delusions of Maturity". The quality of this show is a bit
better than "Delusions of Maturity," being much less "muffled" and having much a
brighter high end. The taper seems to turn the volume up at the end of the SOYCD intro,
so the intro in comparison to the rest of the show is a bit too quiet.

Thanks: BossBinth for the tapes and the original taper for capturing a fine show!
