Pink Floyd: Palace Theatre, Manchester, England
9 December 1974

Total Time: 138:50

Sound sample attached in the 'Comments' section.

Not sure if this one's ever been up here before, but it's a very clear and well-balanced audience recording from a low-gen source, and complete. I divided this roughly in half, since it does fit on two discs, but it could be seamlessly fused back together at the break between the 'Breathe' reprise and 'The Great Gig in the Sky' with a sound editing program for those who would rather have the 'DSOM' set on a single CD and 'Echoes' on a third disc.

I don't know how this compares to any of the bootleg titles that may be out there, but I do know there's at least one other source that's inferior sound-wise and less complete. I welcome anyone else to post artwork, although the sound files would probably have to be re-divided to match the track listings.

Hi, Doctor:

According to the Echoes book, the band did a second Manchester show on December 10, and a Bristol show on December 13 prior to the tour finale on December 14 (which you have posted).

Do you have the December 10 and 13 gigs? It'd be fascinating to hear the final run of concerts back-to-back.

Thanks!

Claude
