BTW - I originally had this filed in "1987". When you unpack the files, you'll get a folder listing the date as 1987. It's really from 1984. Please see the text file (in comments) for the proper details. Sorry about that. Wrong tour!

    Geetarz Comments:

    Eric Clapton's stint with Roger Waters really was a pivotal turning point in his career. His management was decidely opposed to his appearance as a "sideman", but this collaboration brought out some of EC's finest playing in over 20 years.

    The ectours.de site lists the following: "The show was not sold-out, as promotion for the event was sparse, and the Horizon was not at that time the most popular venue for concerts."

    I received this CD set in trade years ago, apparently a tape dump onto CD, with no individual tracks.

    I extracted it, did some light EQ and noise reduction. The "Pros and Cons" portion of the setlist I tracked as well as I could. Personally (and I know I'm in a minority here), I find it tedious to the extreme so I did the best I could.

    It is what it is, not very listenable at times but a worthy document of this tour.

    Trade CDs > EAC v 0.99 Prebeta 4 (secure) > WAV > Sound Forge 9.0 > Stuff > CDWav (Tracking) > FLAC (Level 5) > You !

    No one beats Floydians for purist trading and collecting; This is my attempt to do the best I can with what I have available - feedback is welcome.

    No cover art; it would be great if someone created some to reflect this remaster.

    Enjoy!

  2. Thanks for this, love this tour. Question: Which recorder is this? It's not #1 or #2, which I've checked it against, and based on comments on sources for this night, it doesn't seem to be Recorder #3 or #4 either.
