Pink Floyd
Empire Pool
Wembley, London, UK
"Chuckness Remaster"
November 16, 1974


The sources for this remaster were the wonderful Haugh 3-source matrix (Set 2) and the "No Room Upon The Hill" bootleg (set 1). NRUTH is actually one of the AUD sources in the Haugh Matrix, along with the "Black Hole In The Sky" bootleg, and the SBD portion is provided by the BBC pre-FM Master Reel.

Set 1:
Unknown AUD (MOLM Music) > WAV via Wavelab > Harmonic Balancing & hiss removal with professional studio tools > FLAC (level 8) via Trader's Little Helper

Set 2:
Pre-FM SBD/AUD/AUD Matrix (Haugh) > WAV via Wavelab > Harmonic Balancing with professional studio tools > FLAC (level 8) via Trader's Little Helper

Seeded to Dimeadozen on 1/30/08 by ZHB (zimahatboy@bellsouth.net)


My friend Chuckness is a professional audio engineer who owns a recording studio in the Charlotte, NC area. As a Floyd fan, he wanted the best-possible sounding version of this show. I supplied him with the pre-FM SBD of Set 2 some months ago, and he did a beautiful remaster. Before I could upload that to Dime, I got word of the Haugh Matrix. Since Chuck wanted to use the best-possible starting point, he toassed out the previous work, and remastered the Haugh source. And for completeness, he also remastered the NRUTH source for Set 1. The results of obviously more dramatic on Set 1 - one listener described it as "removing the tin cans from over your ears."

This is the best-sounding version of this show I have ever heard, and I have heard many. I truly believe that this is the best-sounding set in circulation.
