notes: Supposed to come from a radio broadcast, since it was recently stated that a radio recording exists this should be the correct source of it. It comes from a fantape transferred into CDR. Hiss is moderate and sound quality is about VG but the speed is very fast. The recording starts with the end of the early version of The Great Gig In The Sky and goes into the beginning of Money; there's only the beginning of Money here (the soundscape - no song) that is soon merged with Us & Them and till this point it sounds not so good; at about a half of Us & Them, exactly around minute 3:40 the sound quality improves (but there's no patch, it just starts sounding better, there's no evidence of the taper disclosing the recorder too, I guess it's just that this tape sounds this way); Us & Them, ACYL and Brain Damage are complete, then the recording stops again as soon as Brain Damage is over (no Eclipse). It starts again with OOTD that's missing the beginning and cuts before the end; At last the recording restarts at the beginning of CWTAE where you can hear the taper moving the recorder provoking a great noise; CWTAE is then cut at the very end but that's another date. The Dark Side set + OOTD is surely from the same concert as the known 1972 December 2 audience recording although it seems that this radio recording was taken at the 1972 December 5 gig, see also source 2, so either the Saint Ouen 1972 December 2 audience recording is mislabeled or is this radio source to have not the correct date... considering that a radio archive should be more reliable than fan's tape-labels my guess is that the 1972-12-05 date is the correct one. Still not sure about the date of CWTAE.
