dstache said...: This is definitely one to get if you don't have it. AUD A-, hot show, especially Fat Old Sun and Saucerful. There are some power outages to begin the show and, it seems to me at least, near the end of Saucerful. That track reminded me of the religious part of Pink Floyd's music-medieval, dark, gloomy, an angry God, beautiful.; April 11, 2011 at 5:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Track 2 of disc 1 (Which is a complete ut brief-for-1970) version of "Astronomy Domine" may be one of the best ever played by the band. The technical difficulties force them to adapt the arrangement, making the quiet passages virtually acoustic. The dynamics of the performance are mindblowing. I've got this song on "repeat." :)

A must-hear. Thanks for sharing, Doctor.
