CD Bootleg "Ahoy Mate, It´s 1971" > EAC > FLAC level 8

Comments:

Another stellar show, excellent sound. This comes from the 1st generation tape of the great performance in Rotterdam. This is Pink Floyd at their best! It has less hiss than other tapes commonly in circulation. SQ is easily VG+ or EX-. Except where noted below, it includes complete and sometimes rather lengthy tuneups between tracks. I really like this concert since it includes Pictish rants during 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'. The concert itself is also quite long with some interesting jams and gong bashing! This is an essential roio. Any "serious" Pink Floyd collectors should have this.

1. Astronomy Domine 11:45

For what it's worth AHM and ASoS should be flipped in the track listing, I'm pretty sure - I guess the Japanese labels do it often
But I think Embryo is in the right spot, whereas the other versions of the boot have it before ASoS

Many thanks for all of these posts!
I hadn't had this version of this wonderful show

Mr. Povey gives the order as -

Embryo
ASoS
AHM (encore)

So, yes, your point is well taken. The order should be a little different.

Toe - Thanks for the kind words. I remember you pointing out the shock-proof light bulb at Ron's place. That was a wonderful Summer. B-)
