  1. Pink Floyd
    Live in Basel
    August 6th, 1994

    First released on www.echoeshub.com, January 2008


    The whole thing got fucked up when I lost one of the tapes.


    Back in about 2003, i grabbed the complete show from a first generation copy of the master-tapes
    and produced the Disc you find in here as "BCTR-DVD2-1". I left it as it has been, containing the complete show including the encore.

    I don't know how and why, but somehow a copy of a recording of a recording of a recording...,
    of this first Release found its way to KoolKat and they released "The Backdrops of Basel" out of this.

    In 2008 i started to release all of my recordings, mostly inspired through the really nice work and kind help of the guys at www.echoeshub.com to return something to the community. That's where the idea for BCTR-DVD1 (Basel 1988),
    this release and BCTR-DVD3 (Gelsenkirchen 1994) originates from.

    After going through my stuff at home, i found 6 out of 7 tapes, the missing one is the first half of this show.

    To give you the best possible sound and picture quality, i decided to resample what i found (the second tape, containing the dark side of the moon and the encore): That's what you find in here as BCTR-DVD2-2.


    So the lineage is as following:

    Disc 1:
    Video and Audio-Track: Hi8 Master-Tape -> S-VHS-Tape -> Dazzle-Video-Capture -> DVD Lab -> You
    Format: 480x576, Pal


    Disc 2:
    Video Track: Hi8 Master-Tape -> WinTV PVR 150 -> DVD Lab Pro2 -> You
    Format: 720x576, Pal
    Audio Track 1: Hi8 Master-Tape -> Sony ES60 -> Digital IN -> EQ, Dynamics -> You
    Audio Track 2: Hi8 Master-Tape -> WinTV PVR 150 -> DVD Lab Pro2 -> You (unaltered)



    Tracklist:

    Disc 1:
    Selfmade Intro (i remember a security guard hanging around,
    scaring the shit out of me,
    so i turned on the cam after he left.
    I filled the gap with this animation)
    Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts I - V)
    Learning To Fly
    High Hopes
    Take It Back
    Coming Back To Life
    Sorrow
    Keep Talking
    Another Brick In The Wall - part 2
    One Of These Days

    The Dark Side Of The Moon

    Encore:
    Wish You Were Here
    Comfortably Numb
    Run Like Hell



    Disc 2:
    The dark side of the moon

    Encore:
    Wish You Were Here
    Comfortably Numb
    Run Like Hell




    About this recording
    ====================

    This is my second recording (the others are Basel 1988 and Gelsenkirchen 1994) i made from Pink
    Floyd shows. There are several recordings of this show, so i decided to call it BCTR-DVD2-1 and
    BCTR-DVD2-2 to keep them apart. BCTR is an abbrevation from "Bang Center", a comment i read
    about the Backdrops of Basel-DVD ( -> http://www.pf-db.com/index.php?concert_id=721&bootleg_id=3367 )
    "...stage but bang center...". As this was my favorite position for taping all three shows i
    decided to call them BCTR. All songs are complete, i changed tape and battery during the breaks.




    About the camera
    ================

    See the sonycam.png Image in the artwork and info directory to see the actual camera the show
    was taped with. As you see this stone-aged-monster you perhaps understand some of the blackouts
    in the show: As soon as a security (or someone looking like one) walked by i took the cam down
    immediately. If it shooks, that's because even if you want (yes, you REALLY want :-) ) to tape
    the show the cam becomes heavier and heavier during the show.




    Do not sell. Enjoy. Trade for free.

    Feel also free to grab from this recording what you want. Feel free to release another version if
    you are more familiar with sound-engineering as i am. Please keep this original-info file on any
    re-release.
