notes as they came with the files:
As mentioned earlier
(http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=341073), there wasn’t a
sudden sea change from prog to punk as many would like to believe happened. We
were still listening to our rock gods until (in some cases) many years after.
Although this would be the only time I saw Pink Floyd, I didn’t give up on their
studio recordings until after the release of The Wall film and Roger Waters’
resignation.
It had been clear for a while that Waters really wanted to make a film, and this
was probably as a result of the film soundtrack work the group had been offered
over the years since Syd Barrett had left, most notably with Barbet Schroeder
(“More”) and Franco Zefferelli (“Zabriskie Point”).
Stafford New Bingley Hall is a cowshed, though, no matter how you light it and
regardless of how many seats you install, which means that the recording here is
distinctly lacking in any sonic quality. It is what it is, and struggles to rise
above the atrocious acoustics of the venue. This was recorded about two thirds
of the way back, and slightly to the left of the sound desk. This particular
night, he Giant Pig got its snout caught on the Aerial of the sound-desk to much
laughter...
Recommended Track: Pigs (Three Different Ones) – a withering song attacking the
hypocrisy of politicians, and with Mr Waters’ trademark scream. It really
doesn’t get much better than this. IMHO of course…
Sound quality: 6? 7? take your pick...
share and enjoy!!
