Comments: This show really must be listened to with headphones, since there a lot of
details and nuances in the performance that are well worth listening to. For
example, note Rick's fade-out at the end of 'Eclipsed'.

Disc one has a few minor dropouts early in the master tape, but they are not too
distracting. There is also one small dropout in 'One Of These Days', and the closing
stanza of 'Echoes'.; December 6, 2011 at 6:00 PM
Anonymous said...: A wonderful performance. Tracks like "Breathe" and "Time" have a dreamy, ethereal quality to them that is somewhat lost in later performances and the "On The Run" jam ("Travel Sequence") is superb. Sound is extremely good for an almost 40 year old audience recording. Thanks very much for this Doctor F!; December 14, 2011 at 6:56 AM
