CD1 1972-02-20 SBD
this was very hard to check for me, since when I
got this I had not the 17 February recording at the Rainbow Theatre, I had got
just the other 3 dates and this one didn't coincide with any of them ... it
was soon more than sure that the Dark Side set was not the one of February 17,
but the one of February 20 (radio sourced) commonly mislabeled as February 17
indeed.

notes:
the STTP guys probably thought to give us a better listen not including the Dark
Side set of the genuine February 17 recording they got in this RoIO ... they
thought to do it better merging the Dark Side set (SB Radio) with the audience
sourced one; they almost certainly didn't know that SB radio recording was
mislabeled (how they could?) , so here we have this chimera, a double-face RoIO from 2 dates.
They got very good sources anyway, both for the first and the second set. The
72.2.17 recording they got seems to include more tunings than the common
versions (OoTD has about 2 minutes of tunings absent in other common versions
actually, I still have to check if those tunings are really the ones
performed before OoTD ... maybe they merged there a piece of tuning taken from
another part of the recording ...)
Eclipse fades out.
Echoes fades out as well (and is misplaced ... shound be the before STC)
Speak to Me doesn't exist! I mean the first track is a sorta fake (lasts 0.09
secs!!!)
I would not suggest this RoIO to anybody really ...
if you want a mix SB/audience of the February 20 gig you can get "The Best Of
The Rainbow" (The Best Of Tour 72 + Volume 4 ACR) as well as you can get
complete audience recordings of both the dates .. why to waste your time on
this?
