    Broadcast Thursday, August 5th, 2004

    Live broadcast of the lowest generation version

    recording of the Wall ever recorded.

    Pink Floyd: The Wall, Live in London
    Venue: Performed at Earl's Court
    Date: Wednesday, August 6th, 1980 at 8:00pm

    This was the 15th 0f 31 Wall concerts, and the
    third night of six Earls Court Wall performances
    that ran from August 4th through August 9th, 1980.

    The five final Wall concerts were also performed

    TITLE: The Show Must Go On

    Label: Distributed by Man of Leisure Music
    (MoLM) www.manofleisuremusic.com, from 1st
    generation clones of the Master CDRs, first
    broadcast live on WRPI 91.5 FM
    05Aug04.

    SQ: A/A+ 1st quality audience recording

    Source Information:

    It is with a huge amount of gratitude to the
    taper, who reached out to MoLM and shared this
    true gem, in a trade for other rare PF roios.

    The source audio CDs that were broadcast are
    1st gen clones of the master discs. The
    broadcast was recorded back onto a PC and
    converted to SHN using mkwACT.

    The original analog recording was made
    with a Technics single point stereo
    microphone covered with a black sock and
    a Sony stereo cassette recorder onto a TDK 120
    tape. Somehow, the taper was able to get his
    gear into the arena with a knapsack!

    Comments from the taper:

    "I was seated to the left of the stage,
    half way back, and used a Technics Single
    Point Stereo Microphone with the Sony
    TC153SD Cassette deck, which was quite a
    hefty machine in those days. I used the same
    equipment to record the last Wall show (17Jun81),
    where I sat right at the back, so that recording
    was a bit more distant than the August 1980 show."
