setlist: The Embryo / Fat Old Sun / Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun / Atom Heart Mother / One Of These Days / Careful With That Axe, Eugene / Cymbaline  / Echoes / A Saucerful Of Secrets

 

2 recordings of this gig surfaced so far, both having about the same sound quality, not very good quality actually. Also the 2 tapers seem to be not very distant one another.

This is one of the few late 71 shows having the ‘peculiar’ waterbubbling sound-effect as intermission on the second set.

 

recorder 1 complete recording: The first recorder is the most common one and widely circulated on tape/cassette of different length, copies on tape actually vary from 143 minutes to 156 minutes. The shorter copies have only intermissions/audience parts cut, not music. Uncut copies aren't hard to find on tape.  Here follow several examples of what circulated on CD: untitled 143m version; untitled 147m version; Closes Meet (149m version); untitled 152m version; CD from 2ndGen tape (missing the encore); untitled 156m version from K2 tapes; untitled 150m version Little Pieces Production (LPP)/(July 2010).


recorder 2 incomplete recording: This second recorder rarely circulated on tapes, actually only a version supposedly from the masters is around on CD, the master source is got to be genuine. Intermissions and applauses are almost all cut between the songs and some songs are not complete like Set The Controls and Cymbalyne, while Careful and Saucerful are totally missing. Speed is originally very slow.


since the 2 recordings have very different contents one another they are very easy to ID, these are some points where recorder 2 differs from recorder 1 anyway:
- On rec.2 someone shouts "yeah all right" someway near to the taper right before The Embryo starts and someone shouts loud near to the taper at the end of The Embryo twice.
- On rec.2 someone says a little "wow" soon before Gilmour starts singing on Fat Old Sun (Fat Old Sun also starts a bit late missing part of the instrumental beginning), someone near to the taper also coughs right when the song is gonna finish..
- On rec.2 someone yells loud some "wooow's" at the end of AHM
- On rec.2 people yell loud "wow's" at the end of Cymbaline
- On rec.2 a guy shouts loud "more" near to the taper at the end of Echoes, someone is audible doing the same also on recorder 1, maybe the 2 tapers were not far one another.
