Most of them are audience recordings<br />and pretty diffcult to listen to. This one, however, has to be the best audience<br />recording of an old Floyd show ever. This rivals the Boston Garden show for quality,<br />IMHO. If your a Floyd fan, don't miss this one!<br /><br /><br /><br />Disc 1:<br /> 1. Intro <br /> 2. Raving and Drooling <br /> 3.

Echoes <br /><br /><br />The Digital Dan Review:<br />An incredible audience show from the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California <br />on April 26, 1975. This is the complete master tape source, so complete that <br />you here the taper testing the mics as the show starts. The sound is nothing <br />short of astounding. Incredibly clear and quite devoid of almost any fan noise. <br />The bass is well captured, deep and powerful with no distortion whatsoever. The <br />highs are also very crisp and not the least bit of harshness. In other words, <br />the mix is just about perfect as if it were a soundboard. I think I have a good <br />idea who taped this show and it explains a lot. There are a few things that make <br />this recording truly unique. First, the pre-release versions of Sheep (Raving <br />and Drooling) and Dogs (You Gotta Be Crazy). Raving and Drooling is much <br />different instrumentally during the jam sections than is the album version, <br />including some rhythm guitar that sounds like disco-funk! The lyrics to You <br />Gotta Be Crazy are quite different from the album version of Dogs. Even Roger <br />calls it a rather "mean" song. "Any Colour You Like" is the great jam version <br />and this is the last tour with performances of "Echoes" in its entirety. All <br />and all this recording is absolutely amazing for its age and one that you will <br />definitely want in your collection.Dr. Forresterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274253625619443854noreply@blogger.com
