Pink Floyd
1970-11-14 Ernst-Merck Halle Hamburg Germany (T-136)

The source for this CD-r release is a reel to reel tape recorded at 3 3/4 ips. I received it in trade from a guy in Chicago. This was one of the first shows I ever received in trade. I got it early in 1973. At that time it was only identified as Germany 1970. Many years later another tape trader told me he thought it was a fairly rare, low generation recording of 1970-11-14 Ernst-Merck Halle Hamburg Germany.

There are some bad edits on the reels I have. The sound made by releasing the pause on a reel to reel deck. I have left these intact for the most part since they also contain some program material.

A few years ago I did the first analog to digital transfer of this tape. I gave it out to one person and they copied and traded it. For this new release I have remastered it from my reel to reel tape. I think it's better than the first one.

disc 1
01 Astronomy Domine
02 Fat Old Sun
03 Cymbaline
04 Atom Heart Mother
05 Interstellar Overdrive
(This has also been called Corrosion / Pict
I've always thought it had elements of Interstellar Overdrive
There is a Rant by Roger at the end similar to the one at
the end of Pict but I've always thought Roger was sort of telling
the Germans off about something. I just can't really justify calling it Pict.)

disc 2
01 The Embryo
02 Green Is The Colour
03 Careful With That Axe, Eugene
04 Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
05 Saucerful Of Secrets


I did the editing, mastering, analog to digital transfer and the artwork for this version of this show. Please keep the artwork and text file, unaltered, together with the SHN's.

Great boot in decent sound quality - thanks - I always wanted to hear this one...
Though I have to disagree with title 1/5. This definitly isn't Interstellar Overdrive (no theme, different structure compared to other version of IO from 1970) - I think the title Corrosion is appropriate - it is a loosly structured improvised song with the same elements as one can find out when comparing with other versions from that year...
