1971 June 26: With Great Joy We Bring You The Pink Floyd! upadated March 2008
setlist: Careful With That Axe Eugene / Cymbaline / Set the Controls For The Heart Of The Sun / A Saucerful of Secrets / The Embryo
3 tapers are in general circulation for this date: 2 of them are complete but one has more tuneups, the 3rd one is way incomplete as it seems.
Some versions (also on cassette) have the 2 recorders together (recorder
1 filled with recorder 2), here are some of the versions I
checked:
recorder 1 starts from the announcer and has no tuneups at the end. recorder 2 starts with the audience talking (a guy whistles clearly some tune) followed by the announcer, there are long tuneups at the end too;
recorder 3 starts
with the announcer, a lady talks in the back on the first notes, the same lady
talks with a man very near to the recorder during the performance too recorder 1 you can hear a woman laughing at the very beginning, at the end some guys near to the taper yell "wooo" before Waters says "Thank You", there are no tuneups then. recorder 2 on the very first notes the audience go on talking, there are long tuneups at the end;
recorder 3 starts from the very beginning
and finishes at the very end (a guy near to the taper says a quick "aw" before
the tape cuts)...
recorder
1 I do have The Embryo after Cymbaline on
the first generation copy, but the right setlist is the one on recorder 2...
anyway, on Set The Controls at the end the recording cuts and there's
a portion with the audience clapping and yelling "we want
more, we want more...", then it cuts again and Saucerful recorder 2 at
the end of the song the taper or someone very near to him yells "ohee-oee-oee-oee",
there are very long tuneups then; recorder 1 this song is placed at the end and stops soon after Waters says "goodbye"
recorder 2
there's a lady laughing at the very beginning and then someone near to the taper
says "brrrrr"; at the end, after Waters says "goodbye"
the audience yells "more, more more..." then there are long tuneups
before The Embryo; on recorder 2 this is placed at the end and should have been actually the encore, since there's a long portion at the end where the announcer tells the audience that the Pink Floyd have to catch a plane and greets and thanks the audience; all this portion is not on recorder 1, where the song is always present after Cymbaline on copies. Note that the ASOS included some versions doesn't come from this concert, it's from Berlin June 5 1971!
