notes:
mm what to say, this version is a bit shorter compared to the integral FRP release (this is missing some tune-ups and stuff) and you can hear a bit of hiss here too, but that's because it seems that the FRP used a bit of de-hissing in its version. It's quite evident in the spectral view that it was used but also just listening to some portion of that version. FRP made a great remastering, nothing to say about that, they managed to make this recording sounding better than what it originally already uses to sound , but this DR version is untouched and to prefer to that, although even better versions than this exist. (taper is the same ... "it's getting better all the time....")
DR notes:
A pretty good audience recording from the Empire Theater, Wembley, London, England on November 17, 1974. This is an incredible audience recording from Pink Floyd's British Winter tour. What is made even better about this show is that we get the pre-release versions of not only the next album with Shine on You Crazy Diamond, we also get to hear the pre-release versions of the Animals album in the form of what would become Sheep and Dogs. You Gotta Be Crazy even has the vocal elements from Atom Heart Mother in it. The setlist for this show is a little bit different. Floyd ends with Shine On as Roger informs the crowd that the band is going to take an intermission before the second half of the show.
The sound is pretty darn good for the whole show, all the instruments are clear and pretty well represented, but at times the cymbals get a little buried. This is the clearest sounding show of the 4 nights at the Empire Theater. All in all, it really makes you feel as if you were at the show. This production was sourced from the master tapes, and the sound is quite clean with moderate tape hiss for the equipment used at the time. This was a very low gen source, therefore no hiss or noise reduction was used. If you're a big time Floyd fan, I can't recommend this show enough. Sound quality would be VG+/EX-, and occasionally slightly better.
