UPDATED Track by track information for the "Stranger than Fiction" Pink Floyd boot:

I have an original pressed copy of this boot, and it is a compilation of material from several performances.

1) The recording of "Corrosion" is in fact "Moonhead" (also called "Liberest Spacement Monitor" due to a misunderstanding of Roger Waters saying "Mr. Nicholas Mason") from November 11, 1970, Konserthuset, Gothenburg, Sweden.

2) "Pink Blues" is from February 26, 1971, Stadthalle, Offenbach, Germany.

3) "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" is from June 26, 1971, Amsterdam Free Concert, Amsterdsamse Bos, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

4) "Interstellar Overdrive" is from the VPRO radio broadcast for May 6, 1968, Rome, Italy.

5-6) "Atom Heart Mother"/"One of these Days" are from May 21, 1972, Insul Grunn, Germersheim, Germany.

7-8) "Breathe"/"On the Run" are from November 15, 1972, Sporthalle, Boeblingen, Germany.

9-10) "Obscured by Clouds"/"When You're In" and "Brain Damage"/"Eclipse" (indexed as two tracks) are all from October 13, 1973, Stadthalle, Vienna, Austria.

This is a very good boot, even though AHM is afflicted with a skip from the vinyl it was obviously mastered from, that goes on for about 20 seconds before the guy doing the vinyl=>digital transfer bumps the needle to stop the skip.

The version of "Moonhead" (called "Corrosion" here) is probably the best of only four known recordings of it.

Keep in mind here that most, if not all, of these recordings are available elsewhere with better quality and from complete recordings.

The cover art on the back is appropriately psychedelic, with a deliberately distorted photo of Dave Gilmour playing his Stratocaster.

Also, a quick word of thanks to MOB of Harvested, for correcting one entry, as well as for filling in the details for the last four songs.
