Dr. Forrester said...: Pink Floyd: The Wall 25Feb80
Performed live at the Nassau Coliseum
Uniondale, Long Island, New York

Recorded without anyone's permission
Sourced through a trade with DG

Re-released as part of The Definitive Wall Series
by Man of Leisure Music (MoLM). The series includes
dates from 08Feb80, 25Feb80, 27Feb80, 09Aug80, 18Feb81,
19Feb81 and 16Jun81.

The show starts out with a bit of source tape damage, but
if the listener is patient, the sound problems clear up
and the show, overall, is of very good sound quality. It
is also one of the finer performances of The Wall by the
band.

One of the funnier moments in roio recording happens during
"Nobody Home." At approximately 2:28 into the track, where
a woman asks for the taper's mic, thinking it's a pipe she
can use. "Is that a pipe you've got there?" the taper is
asked twice. He responds: "No, it's a microphone."; May 4, 2011 at 3:58 AM
dstache said...: The sound quality starts off rough, and there are plenty of rough spots and dropouts, but overall this is an AUD A-. Portions of the show (Hey You > Bring the Boys) are of even better sound quality. The "microphone" exchange occurs around 2:30 minutes into Nobody's Home. This shouldn't be one of the first 5 Wall shows you acquire, but if you collect more than that you should get this one. Thank you Doc for a nice surprise!; June 30, 2011 at 7:28 AM
