notes:
Much better version and longer than the CDs in
common circulation before. No pops, no dehissing.
notes as they came with the files:
Pink Floyd's 1980/81 tour to support "The Wall"
involved 30 concerts (31 planned, one was scrapped). Eight of these shows (about
a rocker-turned-Nazi, remember?) were performed in Floyd-manic Germany (all at
Westfallenhalle, Dortmund). This new seed, created by me (details below) in July
2005, is from a recording of the final German show. I purchased this on tape at
a record show in Connecticut, and have transferred without any processing except
fades (beginning and end) and track cuts. Tape lineage is unknown, but seems
reasonably low-gen: no bothersome hiss or speed problems. Vocals and instruments
are all heard well, dynamic range is somewhat lacking, making this tape a solid
B+.
The show itself is great. This was one of the shows which included the extended
jam before "Goodbye Cruel World," which is very cool, and Roger seems especially
nasty on this night, which is also a good thing ("Do you like our pig? He doesn't
seem to like some of you very much..."). Overall a nice, good-quality Wall show,
and one which doesn't seem to circulate often.
Enjoy!

you like our pig? He doesn't seem to like some of you very much, but he's a
funny pig. You know he's funny that way. He likes some people and he doesn't
like others. Home piggy. This is a little disco tune that we can all clap our
hands to (woo) and whistle. Hey, it's a fun time, any day now, it's called 'Run
Like Hell' Ohhhh, let's enjoy ourselves! Get down! Mmmm." |
