notes:

This is the complete recorder 1 of this gig, the recorder already commonly available on tape. This version is the source for both the 2 sources that were around on tape for this recorder, which had edits, while this version has no edits and includes the integral recording as it was recorded as it seems ... also this version has a couple of pieces of recording more that were not included in either the 1st or the 2nd source-tapes of this recorder in circulation before. No more pieces of music are included unfortunately though: The Embryo is always cut near to the end as in the other sources; ASOS is only the very beginning and then cut like in the old sources.

the pieces surfacing on this version that were not available before on tape are:
on
AHM: A longer piece of audiece/tuneups at the very beginning of the recording is here audible, longer than in both the sources of this recorder that I checked before.

on Cymbaline: before the song starts there is an about 40-second longer piece of tuneups and audience chatter + the intro to the song which wasn't in the sources I checked before.

The sound quality of this version is also much better than what was on tape before.

notes as they came with the files:
This is the longest, most complete known version of this show to date, and is NOT another SHN archive drudged up from an out-of-print CD! It features a prehistoric version of "Echoes" and is a unique and an amazingly good performance overall.
"Mrs. Doinker" and I visited Prague in November. On the way back, we stopped to stay with our German friends Mr. & Mrs. (Herr und Frau) Peter D. This is the person responsible for the source vinyl for the "Pictures Of Pink Floyd" restoration project, and it's him I have to thank for this most unexpected surprise. While thumbing through his amazing record collection, I ran across a BASF reel tape labeled PINK FLOYD DUESSELDORF. "What's this?" I asked. "Oh, that" he said with an unexpected air. "I had totally forgotten about that... Do you still have a reel machine?" "Yes", I said. "Take it", he said.
When home again, I compared the setlist against the two known Pink Floyd dates, and found it to be the rarer of the two. Something was wrong with the sound, so Dime member The TooleMan has carefully restored the sound quality. As an added bonus to you all, Dime member G The Cock (one of the best for artwork!) has made you a new cover to keep the goods!
