68-May-6:   Rome International Pop Festival    Palazzo Dello Sport - Rome, Italy    E-/E

Same set list as above - all but IO are sourced from a lower gen source, resulting in more bass and greater dynamics
Definitely an upgrade, but may be wasted on the casual collector - heads up, though, to the low gen collectors ;)

69-Apr-14:   The Massed Gadgets Of Auximenies    Royal Festival Hall - London, England    (2CD:    93.23m:    HRV-009)    VG

There are one or two times where the HRV has better clarity than the 2nd Gen recording, such as in the post scream
section of Careful you can hear the drums & bass instead of just the guitar in the 2nd Gen version

69-Apr-14:   2nd Gen    Royal Festival Hall - London, England    (SHN > 2CD:    88.25m)    VG/VG+

A slight but definite improvement to the HRV release, which applied a little too much NR or something
This is brighter and has better dynamics

69-Apr-14:   The Festival Hall 1969 Rushes:  DVD    Royal Festival Hall - London, England    (HRV > BT > DVD:    24.50m)    E-

Put with 72-May-22 on same dvd

69-May-9:   Beset By Creatures Of The Deep    Southampton University - Hampshire, England    (original silvers)    VG/VG+

69-May-9:   Southampton University    Hampshire, England    (Master > A1 > DAT4 > CD5 > SHN > Speed Corrected > CD)    VG+

This 1st gen recording had a noticable 'slow speed' problem, so I boosted the pitch by .70 Semitones

69-May-12:   The Complete Top Gear Sessions    Paris Cinema - London, England    (2CD)   

Daybreak , Cymbaline , The Narrow Way Pt 3

69-May-12:   From Oblivion    Paris Cinema - London, England    (2CD)

69-May-12:   Unbroken Sequence    BBC Night Ride Show, Paris Cinema - London, England    (FLAC > CD:    11.25m)    E-

This is the unbroken sequence with wind & seagull sounds segueing the songs

69-June:   On The Air    EMI Studios - London, England

Cirrus Minor only

69-June-22:   Free Trade Hall    Manchester, Lancashire, England    (1st gen)    VG

A lower gen source than the standard circulating recording  -  it has distortion, but more detail
Overall, a definite upgrade - though it is still not great

69-June-26:   Royal Albert Hall    Kensington, London, England    (low gen)

69-July-10:   On The Air    BBC TV Center - London, England

Moonhead only

Complete show  -  cleaned up, with channel-corrected IO

69-Sept-17:   The Man And The Journey    Concertgebouw - Amsterdam, Netherlands    (original silvers)    VG

What a typically horrible job GDR did on this  -  they were not a good label

69-Sept-17:   Concertgebouw      Amsterdam, Netherlands    (complete Harvested version:    2CD > Overburned 1CD:    81.15m)    E-

Some recording of this show is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

69-Oct-11:   Trouble In Knebworth    Gruga Halle - Essen, West Germany    (Song Days Festival)

I compared it to "Song Days '69" (FRP) and they sounded identical to me

69-Oct-25:   Interstellar Zappadrive    Actuel Festival - Amougies, Belgium    (SHN > CD)    VG/VG+

Complete performance, including Interstellar Overdrive w/ Frank Zappa

69-Oct-25:   Actuel Festival:  DVD    Amougies, Belgium    (BT > DVD:    8.10m)    VG+/E-

Green Is The Colour (complete),  Careful With That Axe (inc)  +  Set The Controls (inc)
Careful With That Axe  +  Set The Controls were taken from the above 8.10m DVD

69-Oct-25:   Video Upgrades:  DVD    Actuel Festival - Amougies, Belgium    (BT > DVD)   

bcast on French TV's "Monsier Cinema" on 70-May-30  -  Green Is The Colour + Careful With That Axe  (CWTA is incomplete + b/w)

69-Oct-25:   Video Upgrades:  DVD    Actuel Festival - Amougies, Belgium    (BT > DVD)

69-Dec-6:   2nd Gen Source    AFAN Festival of Progressive Rock - Port Talbot, South Wales, UK    (SHN > CD:    37.07m)    VG+

Significant upgrade over my original recording  (since removed from this list)

69-Dec-6:   Lord Snooty 1st Gen Cassette    AFAN Festival - Port Talbot, South Wales, UK    (FLAC > CD:    24.53m)

I added the missing Set The Controls to this, bringing the total time to 36.48m




The January-March 1970 shows  (especially Jan + Feb)  shows are the first of three peak months during their wonderful 1970-1971 period

70-Jan-18:   Heart Beat Pig Meat    Fairfield Hall - Croydon, Surrey, England    (2CD:    123.22m)    VG

This show  (not necessarily this version)  is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

70-Jan-18:   2nd Gen Recording    Fairfield Hall - Croydon, Surrey, England    (SHN > 2CD:    126.55m)    VG

This has the correct track order  -  like above version, has frequent changes in volume

70-Jan-18:   5th Gen Recording    Fairfield Hall - Croydon, Surrey, England    (SHN > 2CD:    124.08m)    VG

70-Jan-23:   Master Tape    Paris, Theatre des Champs Elysees - France    (Master Tape:    FLAC > 2CD:    126.34m)    VG / E-

In terms of sound quality, 70-Jan-23 is by far the best sounding recorded performance from this very brief but very special period of the band (Jan-Feb 1970)

70-Feb-11:   Project Birmingham    Town Hall - Birmingham, Warwickshire, England    (2CD:    110.41m    HRV-024)    VG

Rated as Floyd Essential Collection Material  -  this is probably the most essential recorded Floyd show

70-Feb-11:   Lord Snooty Low Gen Cassettes    Town Hall - Birmingham, England    (BT > 2CD:    107.24m)   

70-Feb-11:   Atomic Heart Beat In The Hall    Town Hall - Birmingham, England    (FLAC > 2CD:    107.27m)   

70-Feb-11:   2nd Gen Recording    Town Hall - Birmingham, England    (FLAC > 2CD:    106.07m)   

70-Feb-28:   Refectory Hall - Leeds University    Yorkshire, England    (2CD)    E-

This is the untouched, pre-Harvested source that was used to create Six Of One  (HRV-030)

70-Mar-12:   A Trick Of The Light    Auditorium Maximum, Hamburg University - W Germany    (original silvers)

70-Mar-13:   Audimax der Technische Univ West    Berlin, W Germany    (Master > DAT5 > 2CD)   

Cymbaline played w/o the Footsteps sequence

70-Mar-14:   Masters Of The Mystic Arts    Meistersinger Halle - Nuremberg, W Germany    (2CD:    speed corrected, declicked, etc)   

70-Mar-15:   Niedersachsenhalle    Hannover, West Germany    (2CD:    low gen:    86.06m)    VG+/E-

This is a very nice sounding recording (possibly a 1st gen source) w/ much better sound than the Sgt Weatherman release (09-Feb)

70-Mar-20:   Master Cassette    Akademiska F reningen, Lund University - Lund, Sweden    (FLAC > 2CD:    Speed Corrected)    VG+/E-

70-Apr-11:   Trademark Moo    Gymnasium, SUNY - Stony Brook, NY    (SHN > CD)    VG+

Thankfully w/o the Ummagumma patch after Saucerful cuts

70-Apr-22:   Complete Port Chester    Capitol Theatre - Port Chester, NY    (FLAC > 2CD:    Complete Show)    VG/E-

The band delivers some of the longest performances of several songs in the 70-71 period. It appears to be the
longest performance of Cymbaline, w/ a reprise of the ending jam, something I do not remember them ever doing!

70-Apr-29:   Colourful Meadows    KQED tv studio - San Francisco, CA    (original silvers)

This show has my favorite Green segue into Careful  -  David nails it with those few notes he plays in the transition.

70-Apr-29:   An Hour With Pink Floyd    KQED tv studio - San Francisco, CA

In my opinion, by far the best of their 1970-1971 broadcast performances   (see:    70-July-16   +   71-Sept-30 )
From the 1982 rebroadcast & includes the 1982 intro asking viewers if they would be interested in purchasing a video of it.

70-Apr-29:   An Hour With Pink Floyd:  DVD    KQED tv studio - San Francisco, CA    (BT > DVD:    No Menu:    59.05m)    E-

A superb performance of the band during their peak  (70-71)  -  this is from a pretty high gen source, but still good w/ excellent sound.
The idiot director puts way, way too much none band footage  -  this idiot should hang his head in shame.
a video of this show is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

70-Apr-29:   Black Glass    Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA    (2CD:    original silvers)   

70-Apr-29:   Interstellar Fillmore    Fillmore West - San Francisco, CA    (2CD:    HRV-016)   

70-May-1:   1st Generation Reel    Civic Auditorium - Santa Monica, CA    (FLAC > 2CD:    121.53m)    VG+/E-

Great sound, though it distorts a little at some points  -  nice upgrade over prior releases

70-June-28:   Bath Festival of Blues & Progressive Music    Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England    VG

Due to delays, Floyd actually took the stage around 3am on June-28  (they were scheduled for 10:15pm June-27)
Does not have "The Amazing Pudding" intro by Roger before AHM  (though same tape source as below)
Cleaner than below source

70-June-28:   Bath Festival of Blues & Progressive Music    Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England    (low gen)    VG-

Due to delays, Floyd actually took the stage around 3am on June-28  (they were scheduled for 10:15pm June-27)
Has "The Amazing Pudding" intro by Roger before AHM  (though same tape source as above)
Sounds like some NR was used somewhere along the way

70-June-28:   Kralingen Pop Festival    Kraalinge Bos - Rotterdam, Netherlands    (2CD)   

70-June-28:   Kralingen Pop Festival:  DVD    Rotterdam, Netherlands    (BT > DVD:    9.54m)    E-

Set The Controls + Saucerful  (both incomplete)

70-July-12:   Open Air Festival    Reiterstadion Soeurs - Aachen, West Germany    (2CD:    speed corrected:    84.51m)    VG/VG+

Green has a short, extra guitar jam before the end  (only time they did this ?)

70-July-12:   Open Air Festival    Reiterstadion Soeurs - Aachen, West Germany    (Master > DAT3 > 2CD:    85.49m)    VG

Runs slow and has muted highs

70-July-16:   Focus    John Peel Show BBC, Paris Theatre - London, England    (original silvers)

70-July-16:   BBC Archives 70-71 (Definitive Editions)    John Peel Show, Paris Theatre - London, England    (2CD:   HRV007)   

Have you ever noticed that the AHM choir always sounds like it's taken from the soundtrack of the Omen movies?   :)

70-July-16:   John Peel Show BBC, Paris Theatre    London, England    E-

Fat Old Sun (mono)  only

70-July-18:   Blackhills Garden Party:    Rec 1    Hyde Park - London, England    (Master > WAV > FLAC > CD)    VG

Unique Blues > Embryo segue  -  I've never heard them do that before   (the AHM recording has yet to surface)
The modified Rec2 version below has overall better SQ

70-July-18:   Blackhills Garden Party:    Rec 2    Hyde Park - London, England    (FLAC > CD)    VG+

Includes AHM  (in lesser SQ)  but did not have Blues > Embryo
I added Blues > Embryo from Rec1 and modified the Rec2 recording to tone-down the bass and boost the highs

70-July-18:   Hyde Park - London, England    DVD    (BT > DVD)    VG-/VG

Though it's great that this surfaced and defintely worth having, the video quality is not great.
AHM includes the "We Ruin This Song Every Time" orchestra  -  I find myself yelling out to the orchestra on the tv as if I'm in the crowd "Get off the stage. You fucking suck", which they do  ;)

70-Aug-8:   Live In Saint Tropez:  CD    St Tropez, France    (DVD > WAV > FLAC > CD)   

The film has some inserted pictures of band members but they're not intrusive and are only 2-3 seconds long.

70-Aug-8:   Live In Saint Tropez:  DVD    St Tropez, France    (BT > DVD:    low gen:    53.58m)    E-

By far the best version currently circulating - and IMO the best ever performance of Floyd that was video recorded.
a video of this show is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

70-Sept-12:   Fete de L'Humanite    Bois de Vincennes - Paris, France

Interesting performance of CWTA in the post scream section, when the band sort of breaks the tempo and slows
things down to almost a hault, sort of losing it briefly, before beautifully bringing it together  -  very nice indeed

70-Sept-26:   Electric Factory    Philadelphia, PA    (2CD:    HRV-021:    103.32m)    E-

Possibly the longest circulating performance of Set The Controls   (16.10min !!!)

70-Sept-27:   Fillmore East    New York, NY    VG/VG+

Also contains the last 5.5min of AHM from another show, best known date is 71-Nov-15

70-Sept-27:   Fillmore East    New York, NY    (low gen)    E-

A superb sounding recording  (the other versions don't come close)  -  wonderful performance by the band

70-Sept-27:   Fillmore East    New York, NY    (22.50m:    incomplete)    VG+

STC, FOS only  (cleaner than the standard Fillmore East circulating roio)  -  this is fr my 71-Nov-15 recording

1970:   If remix from Russian flexi-disc    (FLAC > CD:    4.43m)   

I have no idea when this was actually released  -  I just placed it here between the recording + the AHM release dates



The October-December 1970 shows are the second of three peak months during their wonderful 1970-1971 period

70-Oct-16/17:   Brutish Temptation    Pepperland Auditorium - San Rafael, CA    (2CD:    original silvers)    VG

70-Oct-16/17:   Best Of The Pepperland Tapes    Pepperland Auditorium - San Rafael, CA    (2CD:    complete show)    VG/VG+

Great performance

70-Oct-16/17:   Pepperland Auditorium    San Rafael, CA    (A0 > D4 > 2CD:    Speed Corrected)    VG+

70-Oct-16/17:   Grolsch's Baked Pepperland Reel    Pepperland Auditorium - San Rafael, CA    (FLAC > 2CD:    1st Gen:    132.22m)    E-

70-Oct-23:   Dub Taylor Master Reels    Civic Center - Santa Monica, CA    (FLAC > 2CD:    136.36m    1st Gen)    VG+/E-

Mostly complete and great sounding recording that includes the previously missing Set The Controls

70-Nov-6:   Mind Your Throats    Concertgebouw - Amsterdam, Netherlands    (2CD)    VG/VG+

The guitar has a banjo-like sound on Green, especially the latter half  -   interestingly Axe appears to have no scream by Roger.  This is the best sounding version of this show that I've heard, including a 1st Gen, speed corrected version.

70-Nov-7:   Remergence    Grote Zaal, De Doelen - Rotterdam, Netherlands    (2CD:    original silvers)    VG

70-Nov-7:   Grote Zaal, De Doelen    Rotterdam, Netherlands    (A3 > CD1 > 2CD:    139.26m)   

70-Nov-7:   Marbal's Cassettes    Grote Zaal, De Doelen - Rotterdam, Netherlands    (A4 > CD1 > 2CD:    130.11m)   

70-Nov-11:   The Raw Files    Konzerthuset - Gothenberg, Sweden    (FLAC > 2CD:    93.18)    VG+

Newly surfaced recording (2016)  -  a typically excellent Nov 1970 performance  (god, they were magical in 1970-1971)
The recording has some overload issues  -  serveral songs are incomplete or basically non-existant
Dave is at times a little more aggressive on the guitar than usual for 1970 (eg AHM pre-vocals, Axe post-scream)
There is very brief, quiet whistling creatures bit before STC

70-Nov-12:   Falkoner Centret    Copenhagen, Denmark    (2CD:    complete show)    VG+

Low gen source  -  an upgrade to Copenhagen Sequence

70-Nov-12:   Falkoner Centret    Copenhagen, Denmark    (2CD:    incomplete show:    1st gen)    E-

Cleaner and sharper than above source with no NR  (both suffer fr what sounds like low recorder batteries at times)
Has a quick static-like noise on Astronomy around .38, 1.05, and 1.17

70-Nov-13:   Aarhus 1970    Vejlby Risskov Hallen - Aarhus, Denmark    (A4>CD1>2CD:    ACR-013)    VG-/VG

Speed corrected, cleaned up a bit, and restored to true track order  -  tune-ups indexed separately
Nice performance. Very long scat section by in David in Careful With

70-Nov-14:   Hoka's tape    Ernst-Merck Halle - Hamburg, Germany    (FLAC > CD:    21.52m)    VG+/E-

70-Nov-21:   A Sheer Drop + Smoking Blues    Altes Casino - Montreux, Switzerland    (SBD + Aud1:    FLAC > 2CD)    VG+/E

In an effort to have the best sounding recording and also have the most complete,
I carefully augmented A Sheer Drop with 4 Smoking Blues tracks  -  See link for more info

70-Nov-21/22:   Casino Montreux Swiss Vol 1 & 2    Altes Casino - Montreux, Switzerland    (Sbd:    2CD)    VG+

Indexed and put in correct track order  (the tracks were not originally indexed nor were they in the correct order)
The final performance of Interstellar Overdrive

70-Nov-21/22:   Smoking Blues    Altes Casino - Montreux, Switzerland    (Sbd:    2CD:    original silvers)    E

Superb Sound

70-Nov-22:   The Good...The Bad    Altes Casino - Montreux, Switzerland    (FLAC > 2CD)    VG+/E-

At long last, the 2nd night in Montreux  -  the 2nd Rec has much better SQ than the producers indicate
I added two missing Nov-22 tracks, 12 Bar Blues + Blues, as well as a cleaner Embryo (imo), all fr Smoking Blues

70-Nov-27:   T-136    Niedersachsenhalle - Hannover, Germany    (SHN > 2CD:    low gen)    VG+/E-

New evidence suggests that this performance is actually from 70-Nov-27, not 70-Nov-14.
I think this release is the first with the correct track order, with AHM before Corrosion > Embryo
I moved Embryo to the end of D1 (from D2_T1), to keep the Corrosion > Embryo flow unbroken
A little less loud and slightly less bass than Hamburg 1970, but definitely better clarity
This show (in some form) is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

70-Nov-29:   Flying Circus    Circus Crone - Munich, Germany    (A2 > D4 > Speed Corrected > FLAC > 2CD)    VG+/E-

I balanced the channels (as one channel was about half the other), manually normalized things + boosted the overall volume
Due to above mods, this is a great recording and sounds clearer + more upfront than others I've heard (including Cow Power)

71-June-20:   Live In Rome 1971    The Palaeur - Rome, Italy    (2CD:    original silvers)   

Last perf of Astronomy Domine
Comment I read comparing this & the 2nd gen source: "Live In Rome seems a little brighter though more hissy, but
2nd gen has more tuneups. It may not be an upgrade on SQ afterall." Tough call, more complete vs brighter sound.

Audio fr the Director's Cut dvd  -  I organized it w/ the concert all together and then the outtakes & interviews separate

71-Oct 4-7:   Live At Pompeii:  DVD    Roman Amphitheater - Pompeii, Italy    E

Original Version & Director's Cut  -  includes a great interview w/ Adrian Maben
Unfortunately it is another live performance film where the freaking director blows it, showing too much non-band crap and way, way too much Nick Mason  (Roger + Rick get very little screen time)

71-Oct-10:   Celestial Voices    The Great Hall, Bradford University - Bradford, Yorkshire    (R+D:    FLAC > 2CD)    VG+

Though the FRP release is clearer, it sounds a bit flat  -  I'd probably give this release a slight edge

71-Oct-10:   One Of These Days In Bradford    The Great Hall, Bradford University - Bradford, Yorkshire    (FRP:    FLAC > 2CD)    VG+

ALL releases I've heard of this show suffer from distortion in various places.
Though this is definitely a little clearer than the R+D version (unfortunately R+D's are always slightly muted),
the R+D version has a little more punch or better dynamics, making the FRP seem a little flat by comparison.
I'd probably give R+D a slight preference, though I like the better clarity of the FRP release.



It was during their wonderful 1971 autumn tour of North America that Floyd began experimenting with a synth-type instrument on stage.  I've never read anyone comment on this, nor acknowledge it.  Not necessarily all shows have it, nor is it as noticeable at all shows.  It's usually most notable during the middle section of One Of These Day.  The best example may be 71-Nov-5.  It may be a VCS3, but I'm not sure.  Whatever it is, it's definitely not analog.  This instrument is almost certainly the source of the bubbling sound that was new (unique ?) to this tour, as well as the source of the siren-like intro to Atom Heart Mother that they did only on this tour.  I would not be surprised if the band borrowed a synth to test and play with on this tour.  A few years after writing this I conversed with some people who responded to a posting I made about it and who were of the same opinion as I.  One seemed to have some detailed info about it. 




The October-November 1971 shows are the final and most aggressive of three peak tours during their wonderful 1970-1971 period, after which the magic was gone

71-Oct-16:   Cosmos Topper    Civic Center - Santa Monica, CA    (FLAC > 2CD:    LPP:    142.32m)    VG+/E-

71-Oct-17:   Community Concourse, Golden Hall - San Diego, CA

If I could only have a single live recording by any band, this would be the show I would choose.  Everything about this show is fantastic.  IMO this is their best performance of 1971 and one of their best ever.  This is sort of unexpected in that for the most part the band does not do anything unusual at this show.  The siren at the beg of AHM and birds and bells before FOS were standard to this tour.  So, other than the wonderful 2.30 min gap between Roger's "careful with that axe, Eugene" bit and the actual scream (to my knowledge the only time they did this) , the loud guitar strike before Blues starts, and the guy in the audience asking for "Several Species of ...", the setlist is standard with no surprises.  There are no great extended song performances (as happened later in the tour) and there were no unusual comments or between song stuff, such as the "whistling creatures" that happened at some Nov 1970 shows.  In that sense there is nothing special happening.  What is happening, though, is a performance that glows.  They nail every song just right.  In my opinion this is the definitive performance of AHM.  You get the feeling that the band are enjoying themselves, and that feeling comes though in their playing.  Careful With is another standout performance, quite probably my favorite, as is FOS.  To be fair, this benefits from one of the best audience recordings I have ever heard. The SQ is phenominal and allows the performance to be fully enjoyed.  As at most shows in this tour, the band play the songs more aggressively than in prior 1970-1971 shows.
This show in some form is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

71-Oct-17:   Heart Of The Sun    Community Concourse, Golden Hall - San Diego, CA    (original silvers)

The band had a very good night in San Diego  -  The 71-Oct-17 show is my overall favorite 1971 performance

71-Oct-17:   Wind And Seabirds    Community Concourse, Golden Hall - San Diego, CA    (2CD)    E-

A superb performance  -  one of their best  (along with 70-Feb-11, 70-Nov-27 and maybe 69-Sept-17).
A lower gen source than FO w/ better detail. However, FO has better presence and dynamics.

71-Oct-17:   From Oblivion    Community Concourse, Golden Hall - San Diego, CA    (2CD)    E-

In some ways a better sounding recording than Wind (in terms of presence and dynamics), but lacks some of the detail and feel that Wind has.

71-Oct-17:   2nd Gen Source   Speed Corrected    Golden Hall - San Diego, CA    (Aud Master Cass > HiFi > DAT2 > SHN > 2CD)    E-

Includes more song intros etc than other recordings  -  originally listed as 1st gen, that appears to be incorrect
The synth type instrument is not prominent here, though you hear it before STC, a very brief noise 24 sec before Roger introduces OOTD, and some in the middle of OOTD.

71-Oct-27:   Echoes In The Auditorium    Auditorium Theatre - Chicago, IL    (2CD:    Hip Cat  -  original discs)    VG

Fast speed problem on 2nd half of Echoes and all of Saucerful  -  appears to be on all circulating Hip Cat copies

71-Oct-27:   Climb Towards The Light    Auditorium Theatre - Chicago, IL    (2nd Gen:    FLAC > 2CD:    143.27m)    VG+

A nice speed corrected version  -  not a perfect correction, but given the difficult problems w/ the source, it's perfectly acceptable

71-Oct-28:   Hill Auditorium    Ann Arbor, Michigan    (2CD)    VG-/VG

71-Oct-31:   T-1606    Fieldhouse, University of Toledo - Toledo, Ohio    (FLAC > 2CD)    VG

This is a very good performance  -  Definitely an upgrade, with better clarity, better highs, and a more open sound than my prior recording.  Though both versions suffer from same the distortion (worst in AHM), this version is very listenable.  One Of.. has some good but brief use of the synth instrument.

71-Nov-5:   New York  1971-11-05    Assembly Hall - Hunter College - New York, NY    (FLAC > 2CD:    LPP:    149.55m)    VG+

An excellent performance  -  Embryo is streched by about 6-7 minutes, possibly because Rick was not there or his keyboards were not.
OOTD & ASOS have the synth instrument  (it's pretty aggressive here)

71-Nov-6:   Emerson Gym    Case Western Reserve University - Cleveland, Ohio    (2CD)    E-

From the source used by FRP, but untouched in any way   (prior to the FRP mastering).
Though Nick seems to be having a good night, the overall performance is nothing special

71-Nov-10:   Labyrinths    Pavilion de la Jeunesse - Quebec, Canada    (2CD:    original silvers)    VG+

Superb performance   (great Careful With, but it has a cut at the beginning of the scream)

71-Nov-12:   Philadelphia Experiment    Irvine Auditorium, Univ of PA - Philadelphia, PA    (2CD:    87.41m:    incomplete)   

Brief, faint but definite whistling before One Of... (reminiscent of Nov 1970)

71-Nov-12:   Those Were The Days    Irvine Auditorium, Univ of PA - Philadelphia, PA    (2CD:    111.05m:    almost complete)

This is an excellent and very aggressive performance.  Highlights for me are Careful With.., with Roger doing some really excellent sounds in the pre-scream section and Cymbaline, which includes a barely audible David singing "High time.." near the very end of Cymbaline (never heard that before).  The mid sections of Embryo and One Of.. are also worth mentioning.

71-Nov-15:   Carnegie Hall    New York, NY    (4th gen:    14.03m)    VG/VG+

Four songs  (36.53m), two of which are definitely from 70-Sept-27, other two from late 1971
Though there is some uncertainty of the true date of these 2, this is a unique performance and so am going w/ this date

71-Nov-16:   Return Of The Sons Of Nothing    Lisner Aud, GW Univ - Washington, DC    (2CD:    original silvers)   

Very nice laugh attack by David during Cymbaline  (the highlight of this otherwise very average show)

71-Nov-20:   Obscurity    Music Hall - Cincinnati, Ohio    (2CD:    incomplete    original silvers)    VG

Fat Old Sun is the shorter version and has David playing the guitar part after the chorus in a slightly different way (a great, but last performance of the song)  -  Last performance of Cymbaline, Embryo, and Fat Old Sun.  Sixth to last performance of AHM and the last show with it as part of its standard setlist - they were on a slow but definite decline after this show.

71-Nov-20:   Best Of The Taft Tapes    Music Hall - Cincinnati, Ohio    (2CD:    complete show:    136.22m)    VG

The synth instrument is used a bit during the middle section of Set The Controls

71-Nov-20:   Next Door To Heaven    Music Hall - Cincinnati, Ohio    (2CD:    complete show, two sources:    135.54m)    VG+

A superb and one of the most aggressive performances by the band
By far my best recording of this show  -  unfortunately it has diginoise on the 2nd half of both Echoes + Blues
This show in some form is rated as Essential Floyd Collection Material

71-Nov-20:   Music Hall    Cincinnati, Ohio    (2nd source:    A1 > DAT > 2CD:    142.31m)    VG/VG+

I think the Next Door To Heaven boot has much better sound  -  this recording also appears to run slow
The last prime era Floyd show.  It was all downhill from here.



Question
Did 'Dark Side' mark a turning point for Pink Floyd in the studio?

WATERS:

Yeah.  Up until 'Dark Side', we were a very cohesive team.  We were very much a band.  We worked very closely together, and we were content to do that.  'Dark Side' marked a watershed in that after that, recording became more and more problematic.  With 'Dark Side' we had sort of achieved what we'd set out to achieve as young men going into the music business.  After that we clung together out of fear more than out of hope.  'Dark Side' was beginning of the end.
(edensongs opinion:    again...  it was all downhill after 1971.)

1973:   playing Dark Side to the movie The Wizard Of Oz

(If you are unaware of what I am refering to, click on the above Wikipedea link)
I've done this several times, including last night.  While there are definite points where the music / lyrics synch really well to the action in the movie, I don't think there is enough to support the idea that the band composed Dark Side to match the film.  If they did, they did not do a very good job, as there are way too many places where the music / lyrics has nothing to do with the action in the movie.  Finally, and most importantly, why the hell would the band even do this?  It makes no sense.  That said, it is still interesting to watch.

Yet another crap release by Great Dane  -  I recommend getting one of the better recordings of this show
Has gaps and Dark Side is not indexed  -  Great Dane truly sucks

74-Nov-16:   Wish You Were Here - Immersion Box Set    Wembley Arena - London, England    (official release:    original silvers)    E

I think this was the recording date - the box set does not specify it
Great performance of Shine On and Got To Be Crazy (Raving & Drooling never came together until Animals). I prefer the 1974 shows over the 1975 for the unbroken performance of Shine On and David's wordless singing the dog part (reminds me of the AHM singing)

Odd screams by Roger during prayer section of Raving And Drooling  -  superb
Nice guitar work during Gotta Be Crazy  -  sounds almost like a pedal steel at times, more twangy than usual
Has the horrible sax solo during Echoes  -  what were they thinking ???
This sax solo, along with the god-awful AHM w/ orch shows Floyd did not always make good musical decisions

I recently started to (temporarily) listen to some of my 1974-1975 recordings and felt like I wanted to write a comment about the song Raving + Drooling (early Sheep).  By the time the 1975 shows ended in July, the band had been banging this song out for over a year.  During that time you would think they would have shaped it into a decent song, not something that sounded like it was destined for the trash bin.  Nope.  From the first time they played it in 1974 to the last show in 1975 the song consistently sounded like shit.  They never managed to make it sound like anything other than a work in progress that never made any progress.  Though not nearly as bad as R+D, Gotta Be Crazy started out kind of weak in Nov 1974 (other than the fantastic AHM-like vocals simulating dog howling - I've always thought that they should have kept that bit).  Over time that song came together.  Shine On sounded pretty decent right away.  R+D, on the other hand, sucked as much on Day x as it did on Day 1.  Surprisingly once the 74-75 tours ended, they worked their magic on it and made it a great song by the time Animals came out.  It's a good thing they stuck with it, because if I was part of the band, by the time the first few shows in 1975 were played I would have said the song just wasn't happening and should toss it away. 



1975:   Shine On 1-10  (pre-editing form)    (FLAC > CD:    29.02m)    VG+

I'm uncertain if this is genuine - as the person who seeded this wrote "whether these tracks are real or fake is another matter"

1976:   Acetate of Animals LP   

slightly different mix, resulting in some instruments being higher in the mix than on the LP
some vocals sound different  (though they are not)  -  the acetate sometimes sound different, other times just like the LP

1976 or 1977:   Pigs On The Wing  (bridged version)       (Harvested)

 

The Standard Set List For The 1977 Tour

Animals was my first Floyd album  -  I'm proud to say that when I bought Animals in the summer of 1979, it was Pink Floyd's most current album  (purchased at Eaton's department store in Montreal).

The Animals tour suffered due to it being a coliseum tour, playing to very large audiences, usually in a large, open air stadium.  The vast majority of the recordings from this tour have that large, open air coliseum sound, which is not very engaging (a definite exception is their May 9 show in Oakland).  Animals had a sound that was more earthy than they could repoduce live.  Though Animals is by far my favorite studio album of Pink Floyd, this is a tour that I rarely listen to, though I have all circulating recordings from this tour.  Animals is a superb but mostly underrated album that was the last of their progressive albums, which is every album they released up to this point.  A definite change occured between Animals and The Wall.  By the time they began sessions for The Wall, they were a different band - one that Waters mostly dominated, and one that was definitely more pop rock oriented.  That said, this was still a good tour, with Pigs usually being the high point.  I love it when sometimes in Pigs Roger says the number of shows played so far on the tour.  For shows listed below where Roger says a number, the number is listed in brackets [ ].  Sometimes he yelled a number once, other times twice (at different points in the song).

THE "good vibes" show of the Animals tour  -  it definitely sounds like the audience and band are both having a great time  (and the recording captures that feeling).  The great crowd is rewarded with a rare and final performance of Careful With  (a great version, w/ odd bird effects on it).  Nice brief laugh attack by David and Roger during Have A Cigar  (the end of an era).  The SQ of this audience recording is so good it was probably recorded by a Deadhead taper.

77-May-10:   Alameda Coliseum    Oakland, CA    (2CD)   [- / -]

Once again the cameramen and the person directing what is being shown prove themselves to be complete freaking idiots.  In Liz Reed when Dickey is soloing, where do the cameras spent much of the time? Looking at the drummers.  Watching drummers is like watching paint dry.  It's clear that the people filming most music performmances know nothing about music.  The British definitely seem to do a much better job.  The seem to know ahead of time (probably via a rehearsal run-through) who will be doing what and focus on the appropriate musician.

71-Sept-19:   Stony Brook 9/19/71    SUNY - Stony Brook, NY    (official release:    original silvers:    2CD)    E-

Finally a great sounding Blue Sky with Duane, and it's smoking - this alone is reason enough to buy this release.  The guitar playing is superb and Barry is keeping right up with them.  Has the longest performaces of Blue Sky + You Don't Love Me + Dreams that I know of and one of the longest of Elizabeth Reed.  IMO this is the best archival release by the band.  Listening to this beautiful music, especially Blue Sky, always makes me a little sad, knowing that a little over a month later Duane was gone.  Rated as Essential Allman Collection Material

Brand X + related

Here is a list I created of known  Brand X performances   ~   It is certainly not complete, but definitely the most complete I've seen

1975:   Peter And The Wolf    (38.20m)   

I think is out of print, which is the ONLY reason why I am listing it  -  this is really a pre-Brand X album

76-Feb-20:   The Nashville    London, England   (69.49m)    VG+

Has Andy Ward of Camel on percussion !!!    Check out the fascinating interview with Andy in the above link.

76-Feb-26:   John Peel Session    Maida Vale 4 Studio - London, England    (25.35m:    b'cast on 76-Mar-8)   

76-July-15:   John Peel Session    Maida Vale 4 Studio - London, England    (17.36m:    FM source:    2 songs)    VG+

These two songs are the same performance as the below Peel session  -  See below entry for more info
This version has commentary from John Peel while the other does not  (as a result, this may be from the b'cast)

76-July-15:   John Peel Session    Maida Vale 4 Studio - London, England    (Sbd:    17.50m)    E

Both this & the above recording are fr the same session. This version is missing Peel's commentary, while the above has it.
This session is the source material for Missing Period (except T6), though this version is noticeably clearer than MP

76-July-30:   Marquee Club    London, England    (2CD)    VG+

I read that Guspar Lawal plays percussion on Hysteria

76-Aug-2:   John Peel Session    Maida Vale 4 Studio - London, England    (Sbd:    17.36m)    E

I think this is the b'cast date of the 76-July-15 session

76-Sept:   Tape Source    Ronnie Scott's - London, England    (27.40m)    E-

This is not from the ROTW LP source and is missing the ROTW Radio Intro
Clear, but note quite as clear as the Master LP source  -  however it is more upfront + has slightly better dynamics
Track 5 sounds like a non live performance, maybe a BBC performance or studio outtake    (not on the World LP)

76-Sept:   Rock Around The World  (Master LP)    Ronnie Scott's - London, England    (24.38m:    FLAC > CD)    E-

Really clear sound, but not as upfront + dynamic as the Tape Source

1976-1980:   Private Collection of John Goodsall    (Sbd:    72.25m)   

This is also known as Live In Libya

76-Aug-29:   Reading Festival    Reading, England    (50.44m)

Percy Jones    76-Oct-29:   Soft Machine    Newcastle Jazz Festival, Univ Theatre - Newcastle, England    (AVI:    27min)    VG+

Percy guested with Soft Machine for the entire tour (Sept-Oct 1976) - this might be the final show of the tour

77-June-10:   My Father's Place    Roslyn, NY    (fr Master Tape:    63.06m)    VG+/E-

1st show of the 1977 tour and the first performance with Kenwood Dennard

77-June-16:   Marble Bar    Baltimore, MD    (1st show:    49.48m)

77-June-16:   Marble Bar    Baltimore, MD    (2nd show:    61.11m)

77-June-19:   Smucker's    Brooklyn, NY    (1st Gen:    FLAC > CD:    46.08m)    VG+/E-

Finally, a legit Smucker's recording  -  The SQ is great

77-June-20:   Cellar Door    (Georgetown) Washington, DC    (2 shortened sets:    75.22m)    VG/VG+

77-June-20:   Cellar Door    (Georgetown) Washington, DC    (2 shortened sets:    87.07m)    VG/VG+

12.19m longer than my other recording (75.22m)
Starts off a little muddy, but improves during the first track
Some tracks sound better than my other recording above, some do not

77-Aug-5:   Hammersmith Odeon    London, England    (40.03m)

Has dropouts throughout the recording, though they are only really bad during the last song (pretty much no bass)
Original, untouched version

77-Aug-5:   Hammersmith Odeon    London, England    (39.54m)   

77-Aug-5:   Hammersmith Odeon    London, England    (41.20m:    2nd gen)

77-Sept-28:   Nightmore Patrol    Glass Onion - Rochester, NY    (1st Show:    72.52m)    VG+

Last two tracks (33.10m) are from 78-Aug-30   (not just the last, as is usually stated)
"Remastered, eq'd and de-noised from slightly muffled FM broadcast, now sounds much brighter and clearer"

77-Sept-28:   Glass Onion    Rochester, NY    (2nd Show:    incomplete,  44.03m)    VG+/E-

77-Sept-28:   Pre-FM Master    Glass Onion - Rochester, NY    (2nd Show:    FLAC>CD:    complete,  59.59m)    E-

I have another recording of this set  (lower SQ)  that has a comment by Lumley announcing that
Percy hurt his finger  (has blisters)  and cannot continue

77-Sept-28:   Glass Onion    Rochester, NY    (1st Show:    59.52m)    E-

Last 1.23m of Track 6 (Why Should I Lend) and Track 7 (Deadly Nightshade) are from 2nd Show
Has 9m (mainly Disco Suicide) not on my Nightmore Patrol source (hence non circulating)
Much better SQ than on Sept-28_both !!!
I originally thought this was the 2nd Show

77-Sept-28:   Glass Onion    Rochester, NY    (1st & 2nd Shows:    2CD:    126.43m:    FM source)    VG+

Contains 51.39m  (Disc 1  -  Tracks 1-7)  that is not from the two Glass Onion shows from this date (see 1977 Unknown Date below)
Has three different Deadly Nightshades. This had the date of Sept-29, so maybe they played there on the 28th & 29th ?
Poorer SQ than on 77-Sept-28_1st.txt (sounds like NR was used)

77-Sept-28:   Live From New York    Glass Onion - Rochester, NY    (prob the 2nd show:    official release:    original silvers    74.49m)

1977:   Unknown Date    (51.23m)   

Most likely from sometime in 77-Oct
CH - this was originally Tracks 1-7 on Disc 1 of 77-Sept-28_both
Tracks 4+5 were actually one song that was accidentally split into two

77-Oct-18  ?:   Cellar Door    (Georgetown) Washington, DC    (2nd Show:    12.19m)    VG-/VG

CH - This was the only item of a show labeled 77-June-20_Disc 2, but it is almost certainly not from that show
It may possibly be from 77-Oct-18  (different set from below), which was also at the Cellar Door
This 77-Oct-18 (2nd Show) date is just a guess

77-Oct-18:   Cellar Door    (Georgetown) Washington, DC    (1st Show:    69.08m)   

77-Oct-13/30 ?:   Beacon Theater    New York, NY    (46.06m)

Sometimes listed as 77-June-19. This is not possible, as this includes Access To Data (debuted in early Autumn '77)
Same performance (though less complete) as Timeline's Disc 1, which is dated 77-Nov-16
This version is slightly clearer than Timeline, though it has less bass

78-July-23:   Cellar Door    (Georgetown) Washington, DC    (73.35m)    VG+

With John Goodsall

All pre 78-Aug-2 shows have Goodsall on guitar  -  all 78 shows post Aug-2 have Mike Miller
(though they supposedly played together at one or two shows).
The two shows on 78-Aug-2 were played without guitar

78-June-19:   Congress Centrum Halle    Hamburg, Germany    (62.11m)    VG+

With John Goodsall

78-Aug-2:   Paradise Theatre    Boston, MA    (1st show:    76.36m)    VG+

Peterson announces the reason for the lack of the guitar player

78-Aug-2:   Paradise Theatre    Boston, MA    (2nd show:    70.39m)    VG-/VG+ *

No guitar player !!!
* Distorts on the louder parts (beware), but fine at the other times, hence the bizzare VG-/VG+ rating

78-Aug:   Live From Stockholm    Sweden    (official release:    original silvers    57.17m)

The dates and locations they played in Sweden in 1978 may not be precise - definitely misdated by the band, which has his listed as 78-March-30.  Possible dates are Aug-20, Aug-21 or Aug-30.

78-Aug-30:   Isstadion    Stockholm, Sweden    (57.21m)    VG+/E-

The first two tracks (of three) are played seemlessly and thus were indexed together

78-Oct-24:   Paradise Rock Club    Boston, MA    (FLAC > 2CD:    104.31m)    VG+

Has John Goodsall on at least two tracks  -  1st show of this tour + most likely the first show w/ Mike Clark on drums

78-Oct-31:   Rated X    The Bottom Line - New York, NY    (72.59m)    VG/VG+

A very bright recording  -  has some minor distortion at points, but not too bad

79-Sept-27:   Don't Make Waves    The Bottom Line - New York, NY    (60.25m)   

If this is really from the FM broadcast, then the correct date is 79-Sept-27, not Sept-26   (see link for more info)

Percy Jones    87-Apr-15    Lafayette College:  DVD    Easton, PA    (BT > DVD:    51.23m)    VG+

He tunes up for 5.02m and then plays a single set  (to a prerecorded backing track)  for 46.21m

 

92-Dec-1 was the first performance of the reformed Brand X   (as Goodsall mentions at that show)

92-Dec-1:   Brand X At Blues Alley    Blues Alley - Washington DC    (1st Show:    75.31m)    VG/VG+

More complete than other souce  (18.09m longer), with 11m+ more music and all between song stuff.
I was there !!!    I talked briefly w/ Percy Jones  -  see link for his signature!

92-Dec-1:   Brand X At Blues Alley:  DVD    Blues Alley - Washington DC    (1st Show:    VHS > DVD:    71m)    VG/VG+

Nice, low gen shot very close in front of the stage  -  I cut 5m of drum solo to fit this on DVD  w/ 92-Dec-10
From the 1st set, which I was at! Goodsall has some guitar problems, so Percy jams for about 7min  (Strangeness, I think)
Transferred to DVD by me  -  I was there !!!

92-Dec-1:   Blues Alley    Washington DC    (1st Show:    57.23m)    VG+

Incomplete recording  -  missing first two songs, most between song stuff is cut, and the final 10sec
I was there !!!

92-Dec-10  ?:   Music For Girlfriends   Marquee Club - Buffalo, NY    (67.57m)    VG+

97-May-25:   It's Been 17 Years!    The Leadmill - Sheffield, England    (MD > CD:    67.09m)    VG+

Has a static like noise at points (most noticable for the first 1.45m) and is a bit tinny
Their 1997 shows appear to be the last ones with Percy Jones

99-June-2:   House Of Blues    Los Angeles, CA    (Webcast > CD:    56.11m)    VG+\E-

From a webcast transmission  -  Mick Stevens on bass

Buckethead

the recording suffers from periodic but consistent 2-3 sec stops/pauses every minute or so throughout - enough to be f'ing annoying

04-May-29:   Independent:  DVD    San Franciso, CA    (MP4 > AVI >    98.17m)    E-

has the wonderful Scraps !    this is a weird show, not at all like the other 2004 shows - has more sound effects, the guitar and drums make a lot of use of echoe, the bass player is often more upfront, playing in a different style, and Buckethead is not playing his standard way, playing many things slightly differently than usual.  Ghost Riders is definitely a bit different from the usual

06-Mar-16:   Variety Playhouse:  DVD    Atlanta, GA    (Divx > AVI:    147.57m)    VG+/E-

killer performance  -  my single favorite Buckethead show
superb guitarist with a great style and a wicked looking stage persona  -  mostly all instrumental
a video of this show is rated as Essential Buckethead Collection Material

06-Apr-21:   Henry Fonda Theatre:  DVD    Hollywood, CA    (DVD:    113.49m)    VG+

has some distortion at times, due to being recorded too loud  -  good performance of Nottingham Lace

killer performance  -  Bernie Worrell joins the band for close to 20 min
has a cool section when a woman dressed in a classic Arabian outfit (his girlfriend, who uses the stage name Big D) twirls two large pieces of cloth in dim multi-coloured lights, which comes across as a beautiful gesture of love - excellent

IMO, his 2011-June-17 show in Mesa was the best of the 2011-2012 shows - he's on fire this night.  I almost visited my sister who lives in Mesa to see this show with her but the plane tickets were pretty high, given it was the last minute.  I saw him on 2011-Sept-9 in nearby Richmond, VA  (a wonderful city).  Unfortunately it was definitely NOT an "on" night for him, as he seemed tired after all the shows he played earlier on the tour and was just going through the motions, unlike the freaking Mesa show.  If I did not already know, I would have thought the Mesa show was from 2009, something which most of the 2011-2012 shows were not on par with.

2011-2012:   YouTube Collection 6:  DVD    various locations    (FLV + MP4 > AVI:    131 tracks:    559.02m)    VG/E

This has a different video source, than on YouTube 5, of his wonderful Mesa show on 2011-June-17, which I think was by far the best of his 2011-2012 run   (see above for more of my opinion about the Mesa show).



a great quote from Ozzy Osbourne about Buckethead:

"I tried out that Buckethead guy.  I met with him and asked him to work with me, but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket.  So I came back a bit later, and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing!  I said, 'Look, just be yourself.'  He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him.  He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.'  So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!'  I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy.  What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, "I've been beamed up"?  Don't get me wrong, he's a great player.  He plays like a motherfucker."

74-June-15:   BBC Radio One 'In Concert'    London, England    (sbd:    A1 > CD:    33.47m)    E-

Unreleased studio track from original lineup era with Andrew Latimer on lead vocal  -  from Moondances DVD

Unfortunately performed w/ The London Symphony Orchestra  -  I hate orchestras playing w/ rock bands  (the non orchestra performances are always better)

75-Dec-5:   Musikhalle    Hamburg, Germany    (74.11m)    VG+

Combintation of two sources:  the first 58.55m comes from a clear sounding source (the best I've heard) that unfortunately turns out is mp3 sourced; 
the last 15.15m (a complete recording of Lady Fantasy) comes from a muddier sounding, though lossless source.

75-Dec-16:   City Hall    Sheffield, England    (78.01m)    VG-/VG

76-Apr-2:   Empire Theatre    Liverpool, England    (non indexed CD > boosted signal (55%) > indexed tracks > CD:    30.47m)    VG

The boosting of the signal brought out more detail  (including slightly more pops and crackles at times, so take note!)

76-Apr-14:   Hammersmith Odeon    London, England    (original silvers DVD > CD:    50.23m)    E-

Sourced from Moondances DVD  -  this is a killer DVD

Please support CP and buy this reasonably priced DVD from  Camel Productions

76-June-26:   Boarding House    San Francisco, CA    ( 60.21m)    VG+/E-

Shorter than other source (missing Song Within A Song), but much cleaner and brighter
NOT from the KSAN broadcast  -  has an odd shimmering effect between songs (not audible during songs)

76-June-26:   Boarding House    San Francisco, CA    (68.33m)    VG/VG+

From the KSAN radio broadcast  -  Sounds like some heavy NR was used

Mel Collins joins Camel sometime during the European tour in September


76-Sept-20:   Moon Rise   (Highland)    Helsinki, Finland    (53.52m)    VG/VG+

76-Sept-20 is currently the earliest circulating recording with Mel Collins in the band

76-Sept-20:   Helsinki, Finland    (54.03m)   

Not from Moon Rise. Though this is not necessarily an upgrade.


Doug Ferguson leaves the band in early 1977 and Richard Sinclair joins, creating Camel's best lineup  (IMO)


77-Sept-3:   Eichenring    Scheebel, Germany    (46.06m)    VG

77-Sept-15:   Chateau Neuf    Oslo, Norway    (2CD:    83.41m)    E-

Has a brief 1 sec skip in track 5 and you can hear when the first tape runs out at the end of track 8
Don't let this mislead you, this is a great recording

77-Sept-22:   Hippodrome    Golders Green, London, England    (official release:    original silvers DVD > CD:    61.31m)    E

Sourced from Moondances DVD  -  this is a killer DVD
I patched the missing last 2.43m of One Of These Days..  from the Unevensongs boot  (the audio track fades out on the DVD)

77-Sept-22:   Moondances:  DVD    Hippodrome - Golders Green, London, England    (original silvers:    58.53m)    E

Often incorrectly listed as 77-Oct-1, which I think was the bcast date

77-Sept-22:   BBC Broadcast    Hippodrome - Golders Green, London, England    (17.57m)    VG+

This recording is frequently listed as 77-Jan-23 Shinjyuku, Tokyo  -  It's not
This has a BBC person introducing the first song   (Unevensongs does not)

77-Sept-24:   Empire Theater    Liverpool, England    (FLAC > 2CD:    95.00m)    VG+

77-Sept-25:   Apollo Theatre    Glasgow, Scotland    (FLAC > 2CD:    88.10m)    VG+

77-Sept-27:   City Hall    Newcastle, England    (FLAC > 2CD:    89.00m)    VG

The roughest sounding of the 1977 recordings (muffled).  To improve the SQ, I did a high-pass w/ a 200 mhz cutoff,
trimmed excessive peaks and then boosted amp (via Audacity).  Though still not great, it's more listenable now.

Can    ( they never, ever played a song the same way twice )

68-June:   Schlo N rvenich    K ln, Germany    (FLAC > CD:    29.43m)    VG+

This was Can's first gig, composed spontaneously

71-Aug-9:   Beat Club    Bremen, Germany    (6.31m:    all that circulates from this show)    E-

71-Oct-22:   Volkshalle    Hessen, Germany    (SHN > 2CD:    114.16m)    VG/VG+

This was very muddy, so I cut the bass and boosted the highs
It sounds much better, though you now occasionally hear distortion that was previously muffled

72-Jan:   German TV Performance    (FLAC > CD:    2 songs, 10.58m)    VG+

72-May-8:   University of Essex    Colchester, England    (FLAC > 2CD:    118.27m)    VG/VG+

Damo is low in the mix, which creates a different type of show for 1972  (in a good way)

72-May-11:   Guildhall    Plymouth, England    (SHN > CD:    30.21m)    VG

previously listed as: 72-April-28 _ University College - London, England

an upgrade and 3min longer than my older 30m version - from Tezeta

72-May-22:   POP Festival    Berlin, Germany    (SHN > CD:    73.29m)    VG+

Has a nice early performance of a Vitamin C Improv

72-May-22:   POP Festival    Berlin, Germany    (SHN/FLAC > CD:    73.29m)    VG+

The first two tracks (40m) are fr an improved, brighter source  -  remaining tracks are same as above, but w/ increased levels

72-June-24:   WDR Funkhaus    K ln, Germany    (FM Bcast > Master Tape > CD > WAV(eac) > Flac > CD:    51.45m)    VG+/E-

A nice upgrade over my prior recording

72-June-24:   WDR Funkhaus:  DVD    K ln, Germany    (52m)   

1973-1975:   The Peel Sessions    BBC Stuidios - London, England    (FTP:   FLAC > CD:    66.07m)    E-

One song w/ Damo  (18.48m)   -   5 songs w/o  (47.19m)

73-Feb-18   recordings not in general circulation    Rainbow Theatre - London, England    (14.59m:    tracks are incomplete)    VG+/E-

73-Feb-20:   see 'The Peel Sessions'   &   Miscellaneous Collection    BBC - London, England    (18.48m + 35.14m versions)    E-

73-Mar-2:   Guildhall    Plymouth, England    (master cass > reel-reel > wav 48khz > wav 44.1 > cdr:    79.32m, inc)    VG+

Has some spacey and slowed down sections that are great to hear and are a little different from the norm.  Damo is very present on first 3 tracks, then thankfully mellows a bit, or is just mixed lower.  This is good because a little bit of Damo goes a long, long, long way.
not in general circulation

73-Mar-10:   Imperial College    London, England    (FLAC > CD:    62.46m)    VG/VG+

73-May 12:   Olympia    Paris, France    (Sbd:    FLAC > 2CD:    91.38m)    VG+/E-

A great performance of Vitamin C

73-August:   Unknown Event    (FLAC > CD:    36.25m:    all the circulates from this event)    E

Possibly 73-Spring  -  There is uncertainty about the date/venue of this and whether it was live or a studio recording
To me this definitely sounds like a studio event  -  I'd be extremely surprised if it were live

73-Aug-25:   Empire Theatre    Edinburgh, Scotland    (FLAC > CD:    69.15m)    VG+/E-

Damo Suzuki's last show.   Has better sound and is more complete than my prior version.
This is a great show and one of my favorites w/ Damo,  though 73-Oct-14 is by far the best.

73-Oct-14:   Markthalle    Hamburg, Germany    (FLAC > 2CD > Audacity Leveller:    110.25m)    VG

Superb performance  -  since it has Damo it is likely misdated  -  date should probably be 73-Jan/Aug.
Damo is different here from other shows with him - he's much less upfront,  the music totally dominates
and he's singing a bit different than usual,  though some of this could be due to the recording.
Has a 59.32m piece that begins with Vitamin C,  goes into a 37.34m improv, and then ends w/ Spoon  -  very nice.
rated as Essential Can Collection Material

*** IMO, in terms of live performances, Can improved significantly after Damo left  (then again I'm not a big fan of Damo, so...) ***

73-Nov-30:   Bordeaux, France    (SHN > 2CD > Audacity Leveller:    87.56m)    VG-

Has a nice 35.32m improv piece that includes the Vitamin C melody  -  only recorded performance of  Future Days ?
Possibly the first recorded show w/o Damo.

74-Jan-27:   Old Grey Whistle Test    BBC - London, England    (FLAC > CD:    7.38m)    VG-/VG

Set The Controls For The Art Of The Sun - I put it at the end of the 74-Feb-10 show

74-Feb-19:   BBC Session    London, England    (25.23m:    all that circulates from this show)    VG/VG+

This has the full Peel 1.22m intro and .40 outro

74-Feb-19:   BBC Studios    London, England    (FTP:   FLAC > CD:    22.24m)    E-

This is missing most of the Peel intro and all of the Peel outro

74-Apr-13:   Festival Equinoxe    Poitiers, France    (FLAC > CD:    60.21m)    VG

Rare circulating 1974 recording  -  shows Can in transition after the Damo period

74-Oct-8:   see 'The Peel Sessions'    BBC - London, England    (17.24m:    all that circulates from this show)   

74-Oct:   recordings not in general circulation    England    (5.47m:    tracks are incomplete)    VG+/E-

In my not so humble opinion, 1975 was Can's best year for live performances.  By this point they seem to have finally moved past their somewhat uneven post-Damo period (1974) and become comfortable as a four piece group in their own right.  Though the 1976 shows were excellent, they spent much of it, as well as Nov 1975, testing out various singers, some better than others.  In addition, 1976 was not a very productive year in terms of number of shows played.  It easily has the fewest shows of any year up to that point.  1976 was in many ways the beginning of the end.  In 1975, on the other hand, the band was in full flight and firing on all cylinders. 

75-Jan-17:   Bataclan Club    Paris, France    (2CD:    83.51m)    VG+

from Tezeta  (aka Skye ?)

75-Jan-29:   Bataclan Club    Paris, France    (Sbd:    SHN > 2CD:    89.38m)    VG+/E-

Sunday Jam is simply superb  -  for me one of their best performances  -  the entire band collectively solos the entire song, with Micky taking the lead.  Why did they only play this amazing song once ?

75-May-4:   The Greyhound    Croydon, England    (FLAC > CD:    55.59m)    VG

from Tezeta

75-May-7:   see 'The Peel Sessions'    BBC - London, England    (15.22m:    all that circulates from this show)   

75-May-16:   Pier Pavilion    Hastings, England    (SHN > 3CD:    126.14m)    VG+

Has a 40.30m improv that is just wonderful  (Disc 3),  though it takes awhile to really get going  (about the 6-7 min point, when they begin to set the rhythm)  -  once it does, it becomes an epic performance with some beautiful melodies, reminiscent of Meadow Sweet.  ...later on... After once again looking at this show on the excellent Can Live site I realized that this improvization is actually Pinch > Meadow Sweet > The Gypsy played uninterupted, though it is not a proper performance of Meadow Sweet.  It's more like they play a few bars of it.

75-May-17:   University of Essex    Colchester, England    (SHN+FLAC > 2CD:    133.28m)    VG+/E-

This is a great performance  -  I combined 2 sources to create this:   the 92m version   +   41m fr Future Days And Past Nights
Has a superb performance of the aptly titled and beautiful Meadow Sweet,  imo by far their most lyrical song  -  unfortunately it's rarely heard among recordings in general circulation - there are A LOT that do not circulate  :(

The last recorded show with Raj ?


I was fortunate to be able to ask Holger Czukay (via email) about Raj:

Scott:
Whatever happened to Raj? No one knows anything about him.

Holger:
We also haven't heard from Raj anymore. All I know is that he came from a well situated Indian family living in Malaysia.
Last news were that he has founded a band there and he seems to be happy. We also think that he was a real nice guy,
though our experiences music wise were not completely satisfying for us.
enjoy having a good time, Scott.
RIP Holger :(

Reebop Kwaku Baah joins Can  -  what a disaster he was!   He did not fit in musically or personally  (he helped kill the band)
Rosko Gee fit in much better, but Holger's presence on bass was definitely missed  (though his new sound effects were nice)

My comments on the various versions of the Dominos'  70-Dec-1  show w/ Duane

70-Dec-1:   Soul Mates    Curtis Hixon Hall - Tampa, Florida    (2CD)    VG-/VG

Different source fr Soul Mates 2  -  With Duane Allman for entire show!  -  includes filler from other dates
I've seen this venue listed as Curtis Dixon, Hixon, and Nixon Hall. I have no idea which is correct.

70-Dec-1:   Soul Mates 2    Curtis Hixon Hall - Tampa, Florida    (2CD:    3rd gen?)    VG

Different source fr Soul Mates, Twin Flames, In The Sky Dog  -  this is a cleaned up version of the Live At Tampa source

15-May-21:   Slowhand at 70 Live at the Royal Albert Hall:  DVD    London, England    (original silvers:    1 DVD + 2 CD's)    E

We were visiting Kensington Palace, wandered off and stumbled upon the distinctive Royal Albert Hall. We decided to take a tour, during which it was mentioned that Clapton was starting a seven (?) night run that night or the next. We could have gotten tickets, but I had seen Clapton twice in the 1980's. Still I was excited to find this was recorded and released on dvd + cd. I was hoping for some great guitar work. Unfortunately, this was not the case. This is a highly disappointing performance if you like guitar playing. Yes, I admit Clapton is older and cannot perform like he did early in his career. Understood. But I expected some spark. It's like a switch was flipped on his guitar playing when Derek and the Dominos fell apart. He never played the same again.

Great acoustic set  -  my favorite of the great 1966 acoustic sets
I find this version to be cleaner and clearer than the 'off Master' version

66-Apr-13:   Sydney Stadium    Sydney, Australia    (SHN/FLAC > 2CD:    "off Master")    E-

Includes a rare 33 sec of Tamborine Man from 66-Apr-19/20  (all that exists of the song)
This lacks some of the brightness of the Tales version, causing me to prefer Tales
This version, though, has less Dylan's breath-punches on the mic than Tales, which my wife found annoying
IMO, this is one of his best 1960's performance

To me the highlight of this collection is the 1975 performance of Tam Lin with Sandy (the 1974-1975 period when she rejoined is not well documented). It starts a little rough but I absolutely love it.

73-Oct-30:   Shepperton: The 16mm Film (NTSC):  DVD    Shepperton Studios - England    (BT > DVD:    64.23m)    E

Rated as Essential Genesis Collection Material.   Superb video performance of Genesis in their prime.   IMO this is the best directed/produced filmed lived performance I have ever seen of any band.  There is absolutely no footage of anything but the band and the camera more often than not is focused on the right person at any given time.  The stage setup is perfect.  Gabriel is absolutely mesmerizing.  Every movement and expression he gives is deliberate and done to add to the theatrical performance he gives.  His costumes are great and add so much to the performance.  The show would not be the same w/o them.  That said, I most like his look when he is not wearing any costume or mask.  His look during the Foxtrot and Selling England era with the cutout U in his bangs is freaking cool.  As opposed to the awesome Gabriel, Collins comes across as the most boring man on earth.  He is obviously trying, but not succeeding, to act cool and aloof.  The end result is that watching Phil is slightly less interesting than watching grass grow.  Don't get me wrong, I like Phil, but my god, if he could have turned in a more boring performance I'd be amazed.  Hackett is in great form.  The only fault I can find is that they really needed to include The Cinema Show to the set.  They could have easily dropped Watcher or IKWIL.  That song would have been more fitting than either of those two.

This performance unfortunately looks like is was produced by an even-more-than-usual acid dosed Sid + Marty Krofft and
is ultimately inferior to the 1973 filmed performances;  especially annoying are these breakaway shots of a Gabriel that are not
from the actual performance and are annoying in that you'd rather see the actual performance.  Still, it is very nice that we get
a complete performance of Supper's Ready.  Plus any pre-Lamb recording of this line-up is defintely worth having.

In terms of live performances, 1975 is my favorite year for Gong.  After Daevid Allen left in early April, the band became more instrumentally oriented, with the great Steve Hillage's guitar being the main driving force.

75-June-27:   You  - Vol. 2    Piazza Navona - Rome, Italy    (2CD:    85.26m)   

Most likely has Dave Stewart (Hatfield & North, National Health, etc) on keyboards (see link)
Great jamming. It does contain some vocals, not all instrumental as others incorrectly claim

75-Aug 23-31:   Watchfield Free Festival    Watchfield, England    (2CD > 1CD:    73.13m)   

A relatively clean recording, though it originally had almost zero bass  (Zero The Bass ! ;)
As a result, I boosted the bass by 8db and recompiled it to 1 disc  (2CD > EAC[secure] > WAV > Audacity > Roxio > 1CD)
Watchfield was the successor to the Windsor Free Festival  -  the event took place at a disused airfield in Berkshire

75-Sept-8:   Marquee    London, England    (2CD:    87.36m)   

Features 1 song from Shamal  (Bombooji)

75-Nov-9:   Civic Hall    Guildford, England    (2CD:    120.14m:    VG+)   

One of the last shows with Steve Hillage  -  Pierre Moerlen joins them for the encore!
Features 4 early and longer versions of Shamal songs, as well as 2 other pieces I do not recognize.

75-Nov-25:   Live In Sherwood Forest '75    Nottingham Univ - Nottingham, England    (official release:    original silvers:    78.35m)    E-

Excellent performance and the last one w/ Hillage as a permanent member  (he played twice again w/ them after this:  77-May-28  +  06-Nov-5)
Features 4 songs from Shamal  -  Support the band and buy this great release !

76-Aug-26:   Live Gazeuse    Reading Festival - Reading, England    (53.49m)    VG/VG+

With Allan Holdsworth on guitar  -  Bonus track of Holdsworth and Gordon Beck from 1979 at Sunbird
Recording is a little quiet  -  but overall much better than I expected

Steve Hillage    76-Sept-18    Hyde Park Free Concert    London, England    (sbd:    BT > CD:    47.34m)    E-

First 'solo' concert by Hillage  -  Steve makes a great speech after T1 about some people fighting

76-Oct-20:   New Victoria Theatre    London, England    (65.58m)    VG/VG+

With Allan Holdsworth on guitar
This was a very low volume recording, so I boosted the sound via a uniform EQ boost   (it's much more listenable now)

76-Oct-25:   Salle des F tes de Tromblaine    Nancy, France    (56.06m)    VG

I have to say that the Feb - June 1977 shows are by far my favorite period of the band (as it probably is for many others).  I also think that Donna really added to these shows, both musically and visually  (definitely the only cute one on stage ; )  -  without Donna these shows would not have been as good. 


77-Feb-26:   Swing Auditorium    San Bernardino, CA    (3CD)    E

Debut performance of Terrapin Station and Estimated Prophet
Includes 3 tracks from 77-June-7: Scarlet Begonias, Fire On The Mountain, Good Lovin'   (28.55m)

1977:   1977 Compilation vol 1    +    1977 Compilation vol 2    (FLAC/SHN > 8CD)    VG+/E-

This is a compilation I made of their wonderful 1977 run, mostly from the Apr-May shows  (fr Sbd + Aud sources).
There is definitely not a wide variety of songs here, as I just picked the ones I tend to listen to the most.
This is probably of no interest to anyone other than myself.

The setlist for the 2nd set is absolutely amazing  -  Scarlet > Fire,  Terrapin,  Dew  -  it doesn't get any better than this.  Jerry is having a good night and seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself.  Thank God this show was recorded on video tape.  Considering the killer 2nd set setlist, the band's high level of performance this night, and the fact that the show was video recorded, with great camera footage, this is their most essential of any 1977 performance,  imo.

Happy The Man
 
I am highly skeptical of any HTM live recording purporting to be from 1973-1974.  I've traded for several of them, with none
of them being legit.  I am beginning to doubt whether any legit 1973-1974 live recordings exist, other than in HTM's tape vault.


Here is a list I created of known  HTM performances   ~   It is certainly not complete, but definitely the most complete I've seen

1973-1976:   Gems And Germs   

Demos, Out Takes and Rare Live Tracks

1974:   Crafty Hands With Glass Spun Beads    (14.53m)    VG+/E-

Rare show with Dan Owen !

1974:   Crafty Hands With Glass Spun Beads    (9.47m:    from CD quality MP3 source)    E-

Studio Session with Dan Owen !

1974-1979:   Cabell Hall    Univ of Virginia - Charlottesville, VA    (37.23m)

Studio  -  NOT LIVE.    This recording is always identified as being live from 1973. It is not. See link for info.

75-July ?:   unused performance for WGTB's Sounds Reasonable program ?    band warehouse - Harrisonburg, VA    (39.26m:)    VG+/E-

This came with a recording of their WGTB Sounds Reasonable Program  (75-Oct-30).
It was listed as "take 1:the band as the not broadcast" and is supposedly a performance that was rejected
by the band as the one being used by for the bcast. I don't know if this is true. This may actually belong
to something else.

75-July:   recording for WGTB's Sounds Reasonable program    band warehouse - Harrisonburg, VA    (58.20m)    VG+

Recorded at the band's warehouse in Harrisonburg, VA in 75-July.  Oct-30 is the broadcast date.
The music is recorded playback (not live), though the band's commentary between the songs is live.
It's a very good performance  -  very hypnotic at times.

75-July:   recording for WGTB's Sounds Reasonable program    band warehouse - Harrisonburg, VA    (50.54m)    VG+/E-

A slight upgrade to the above source

75-Sept:   WGTB Studios    Georgetown University    (39.58m)    E-

Performed live in front of an audience (different performance fr the Sounds Reasonable one)
It appears that the correct date for this show is Sept, not July-4.   There is confirmation from a WGTB DJ and
a fan's hazy memory ;)  -  Thanks Ted.   From WGTB's 2nd and final Pandermedia Fundraiser in 75-Sept.

75-Oct-30:   see 75-July

75-Nov-7:   Fairfax Theatre    Fairfax, VA    VG+/E-

76-Feb-15:   Harrisonburg, VA   

76-Apr-3:   Baltimore, MD    (2CD)

Possibly 77-Apr-24

77-Sept-27:   The Cellar Door    Washington, DC   

77-Oct-25:   Univ Of Delaware    Wilmington, DE   

1977-Late:   Baltimore, MD    (75.42m:    A-)   

Possibly very, very early 1978 (though most likely late 1977)

78-Oct-22:   Cellar Door    (Georgetown) Washington, DC    (2nd Show?:    2CD:    82.25m)    E-

They play several new songs (4) not on Crafty Hands but which later appeared on HTM 3rd
The crowd definitely loves the band  -  they have two encores

78-Nov-20:   Philadelphia, PA    (72.44m:    B)   

Again they play several new songs (5) which later appeared on HTM 3rd

79-Feb-16:   The Cellar Door    Washington, DC    (66.42m)

This time they play most of the 3rd album  (8 songs)  -  only Eye Of The Storm + Such A Warm Breeze are not played

Not For Trade    (fr recordings given to my friend by Kit Watkins)

75-Oct-30:   WGTB Sounds Reasonable Program    Washington, DC    (20.24m:    incomplete)    VG+

Recorded at the band's warehouse in Harrisonburg, VA in 75-July. Oct-30 is the broadcast date
Leave That Kitten Alone is recorded fr the studio mic and you can hear the DJ & his friends talk early on  (unlike on other source)
(I originally thought it was the band members who are talking)
From Chris Haller

75-Nov-8:   Fairfax Theatre    Fairfax, VA    (3 songs)    E-

Not For Trade    (fr recordings given to my friend by Kit Watkins)

76-Feb:   Cabell Hall    Univ of Virginia - Charlottesville, VA    (4 songs)    E-

Not For Trade    (fr recordings given to my friend by Kit Watkins)

76-Feb-14 ?:   Cabell Hall    Univ of Virginia - Charlottesville, VA    (2CD:    67.43m)    VG/VG+

67.43m is the length of the 76-Feb show  -  The total length of both discs w/ Glass beads is 82.36m
Glass Beads is from a 1974 performance with Dan Owen    (VG+)
Sometimes misdated as 77-Nov-25 date, which is definitely incorrect

Stumpy, Steaming Pipes, Knee Bitten Nymphs medley and Footwork

Jimi Hendrix

1968:   Jamming with Traffic    Unknown location    (FTP:   SHN > CD)    VG+/E-

Hendrix and Traffic jamming together.   Sometimes listed as Apartment Jams from 68-May-31

68-Mar-7:   NYC ’68    The Scene Club - New York, NY    (original silvers)

Includes Jim Morrison on vocals for one song  -  quasi legitimate release

69-Feb-24:   The Last Experience    Royal Albert Hall - London, England    (original silvers)

69-Aug-18:   Live At Woodstock:  DVD    Woodstock Music & Art Fair - Bethel, NY    (disc 1 only)    VG+/E-

*The following comments refer to the edited version of his performance at Woodstock, where some of the musicians were removed from the audio mix*   This is my favorite Hendrix performance - his playing + soloing are fantastic and very lyrical - very different from what came before and, to a lesser extent, after.  He's a more mature performer at this point.  Mostly gone are the unnecessary and distracting theatrics.  Here, Jimi is just singing and playing his heart out.  Nothing more.  His true playing-self is here and it's wonderful to see an artist at the top of his game.  The real highlight of this performance is Voodoo Child thru to the ending Hey Joe.  His playing during it is so beautiful and a perfect encapsulation of his playing.  Hendrix is definitely at a transition point here.  The JH Experience had begun to slowly disband earlier in the year, giving their final performance on 69-June-29 at the Denver Pop Festival.  This was his first outing since disbanding The JH Experience and beginning his next, somewhat nebulous phase.  Along with Mitch Mitchell, Hendrix added future Gypsys member Billy Cox on bass, Larry Lee (a friend of his) on rhythm guitar, and Juma Sultan + Jerry Velez on congas (Sultan + Velez appear to have been mixed out of the audio track, which has resulted in a cleaner, less cluttered sound, which IMO was a good decision).  Apparently the band had only rehearsed for less than two weeks before the festival and according to Mitchell never really meshed.  Added to this was Hendrix's dislike of playing to very large crowds and the resulting situation where Hendrix and band closed the festival on Monday morning at 8am, after being up for most of the prior days.  As a result, this first and only major performance by this incredibly short-lived band (at most 3 performances ?) was somewhat subdued.  Even still, it is a wonderful performance and shows Hendrix at this first true non JH Experience outing since forming that band in 1966.  Interestingly, to me the remaining audience looks cleaner than they did on Sunday.  It's like the remaining few were cleansed by their experience.   Taking into account the major turning point of his career shown here, this is one of Hendrix' most historically significant performances.  I read this was his longest ever performance (at 2 hours).  Dressed in blue jeans with a white vest with blue beads and fuchsia bandana, Hendrix is beautiful here. 

70-Jan-1:   Band Of Gypsys:  DVD    Fillmore East - New York, NY    (DVD > AVI:   First Show    141.47m)    VG+/E-

70-July-4/5:   2nd Atlanta International Pop Festival    Atlanta, GA    (incomplete show)

Iron Butterfly

Here is a list I created of known  Butterfly performances   ~   It is woefully incomplete, but it's a start

I've indexed all In A Gadda Da Vida into sections (usually 3):  pre-Drums, Drum solo, post-Drums
I do this because I hate drum solos and it allows me to skip over them.

1968-1970:   Early Video Collection:  DVD    (BT > DVD:    PAL:    104.15m)    VG+/E-

Much of this is lip-synched, though the last performance is live (including a complete Butterfly Bleu !)

I was there, inside the pavilion !!!  -  This is the complete recording, not the 90m version which is incomplete
Possibly the last time they played Frame By Frame + Matte Kudasai in their proper, wonderful order, back to back.
The last recorded performnance of The Sheltering Sky from this tour and most likely the last time they played it in 1984.
Ironically, official Crimson documents say it was rained out, when in reality it was a beautifully sunny day and clear night.

Disc 1 is rated as Essential Zeppelin Collection Material  -  an Absolutely Killer performance
The second set pales in comparision to the first and is definitely not essential listening material.  For me this is the definitive performance of  As Long As I Have You,  You Shook Me,  and How Many More Times.  I am not sure if these were two separate shows or the same show with an intermission, but those people who only saw the 2nd set got royally screwed.

69-Apr-27:   The Devil's Blues    San Francisco, CA    (Low Gen:    FLAC > 2CD)    VG+/E-

Definitely clearer than my other recording, though has less bass
The first set  (Disc 1)  is my absolute favorite Zeppelin performance.  IMO,  As Long > HMMT is the best 50m Zep ever played
The whole band is on fire, but Page is the shining star, letting loose with solo after solo, especially in As Long > HMMT.  And then when they go into the Mulberry Bush segment the whole thing becomes so fucking amazing.  An absolutely jaw-dropping performance.

69-May-27:   Masters Of Excess    Boston Tea Party - Boston, Massachusetts    (2CD:    The Symbols)

Superb performance w/ overall very good audio + video (bw)  -  captures the young group at their performing peak, Fall 71 - Spring 72.  Though the video is good, it does appear to be a few gens off the master, having a bit of the softer look that higher gen video has

Unfortunately this suffers from the same thing as many concert movies - showing cutaway footage of crap that has absolutly nothing to do with the concert.  It starts off with a bad omen, a bizarly long intro of clips from Rebel Without A Cause.  The worst cutaway to me was that the ENTIRE performance of the wonderful, ethereal Hejira shows absolutely nothing from the show.  All we see is some idiot ice skating for the entire song.  Truly a WTF decision.  Blame for this has to rest solely on Joni.  Considering the talent of this band, this cutaway footage is inexcusable.

77-Feb-20:   Dundee University    Dundee, Scotland    (2CD > Overburned 1CD:    80.17m)   

Combination of a better sounding source and the missing part from a poorer source

sadly, Amanda Parsons left the band in mid March 1977.  They were never the same after this.  Though sometimes her contribution was sublime, she was essential to their classic Canterbury sound, and was one of the most defining voices of the entire "Canterbury Sound" genre, along with Richard Sinclair.


77-July-31:   Queen Elizabeth Hall    London, England    (2CD)    VG/VG+

With Richard Sinclair, Jimmy Hastings, Lindsay Cooper and others

Clocks And Clouds with Richard Sinclair!  Before the song, Stewart mentions that Amanda Parsons + Alan Gowen are in the audience.  It would have been so wonderful if Amanda had joined Richard on vocals for this song, one final time.

Incomplete and has a buzzing noise that begins midway through Track 3 and remains for the rest of the disc
I highly recommend going for the Live 1990 release (see above link for more info) instead of this. Nice show.

1977:   Clocks And Clouds    (9.45m)   

Disc 1 is from 76-June-19 and is identical to my other copies, though indexed oddly  -  Disc 2 only has 2 songs
D2-T1 is Borogoves (17.32m) from 76-Nov-17
D2-T2 is Clocks And Clouds, 9.45m, w/ Richard Sinclair!  (no Amanda)  -  most likely fr 1977  (this is different fr 77-July-31)
Stewart mentions that Amanda Parsons + Alan Gowen are in the audience  -  possibly 77-Nov-10:  Roundhouse - London

This was also chock full of silent gaps (not the DAO kind). They were everywhere. I fixed them as best I could.

Brian Jones' swan song with the Stones - his performance in No Expectations is superb.  He physically looks great in this, especially in the final song, Salt Of The Earth, when the whole band plus other guests, sing and sway along to the song.  He looks like he is having a great time.  A beautiful image of Brian in his last (?) filmed appearance.

A superb collection  -  highly recommended if you like the Exile album
Has the complete I Don't Know The Reason Why, which was incomplete on all my other sources



IMO, the Exile sessions brings to a close The Stones' peak period that began with the first Beggar's Banquet demos in 1968.  By the time they began the Exile tour, they had begun to shift from the "We have something to prove" attitude to "We are an institution" mindset.



72-June-3:   Vancouver 72    Pacific National Exhibition Forum - Vancouver, Canada    (2CD)    VG

78-Apr-28:   Park West    Chicago, IL    VG+/E-

78-May-15:   California Theatre    San Diego, CA    (Sbd:    2CD)    VG+

Patti definitely had a rough time with just about everyone at this show  (she could use a valium at most of her shows)

78-Oct-17:   Bailey Hall    Cornell University - Ithaca NY    (2CD)    VG/VG+

Earliest recording of Frederick  (debut ?)

79-Apr-21:   Live Undercover   ?    Grugahalle - Essen, Germany    (2CD:    complete)   

This boot might actually be   Rockpalast 1979  or  I'm An American Artist
A great performance, though Chatti Patti strikes again!   Sometimes listed as 79-April-22

79-Apr-21:   Grugahalle    Essen, Germany    (Sbd:    incomplete)    VG+

Sounds like the speed on this one is correct, with Live Undercover sounding just a little fast by comparison

79-Apr-21:   Rockpalast:  DVD    Grugahalle - Essen, Germany    (BT > DVD:    low gen, no menu:    102.48m)    VG+

It is amazing how much time she just wastes between songs doing nothing and rambling.  It's nice to see Andi Ostrowe (Patti's assistant & friend), playing tamborine & backing vocals.  There is a spiritual-like scene during BTNight when Patti physically interacts w/ the audience + they softly embrace her.
Rated as Essential Patti Smith Collection Material

79-Apr-21:   Rockpalast  (2011 Rebroadcast):  DVD    Grugahalle - Essen, Germany    (BT > DVD:    PAL)   

79-May-11:   Capitol Theatre    Passaic, NJ    (Not indexed  -  low volume)    VG

A boost in volume would improve this recording immeasurably  -  I'm just not motivated to do it !

Opened for the Grateful Dead

79-May-12:   Orpheum Theatre    Boston, MA    (FLAC > 2CD:    Evening Show:    A1>CD)    VG/VG+

I added 67.40m of songs from some 2001 + 2008 shows to Disc 2  (mostly Because The Night + Frederick)
2nd show for her this day and her voice is pretty much shot

79-May-13:   Mother's Day    Tower Theatre - Upper Darby, PA    (Sbd:    2CD:    complete show)    VG+

A superb performance, though she always talks way too much between songs  -  Chatti Patti !
The definitive version of Hymn + Frederick  -  Rated as Essential Patti Smith Collection Material

79-May-23:   Palladium    New York, NY    (FLAC > CD:    Frederick only)    VG+/E-

Patti sings different lyrics during the prayer section of Frederick  (the only version I have of Frederick where she does this)

79-July-10:   Music Hall    Houston, TX    (FLAC > 2CD)    VG

Weird performance during the 2nd set, slightly surreal  -  Read comment from the taper in the link.
Everything is normal through Frederick. The weirdness starts with Seven Ways Of Going (a very spacey performance). Though things are not normal, the rest of the show is very enjoyable, due in part to the different vibe.

79-Aug-11:   Wollman Rink    Central Park - New York, NY    (Afternoon Show:    2CD)    VG+

If you watch the ending scene in the movie Delirious (w/ John Candy), they are skating in Wollman Rink

Tangerine Dream    ( once the ultimate improv band )

Though I like the Tangerine Tree & Leaves productions, they tend to be a little heavy handed with the
noise reduction and might be better served by leaving their low gen sources less processed


Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

72-Apr-26:   Virtual File 72-02    SFB Studios (RIAS-FM) - Berlin, Germany    (62.53m)   

Possibly 72-Apr-25  -  This is sometimes incorrectly listed as VF 72-01  (http://www.caby.de/olists/vfiles.txt)
Tracks 1-6  (11m)  may not be Tangerine Dream

72-Nov-25:   Virtual File 72-03    Nachtmusic WDR-FM - Cologne, Germany    (41.25m)   

This is sometimes incorrectly listed as VF 72-02, w/ 72-Apr being incorrectly listed as 72-01  (http://www.caby.de/olists/vfiles.txt)

72-Nov-25:   Tangerine Tree Vol   52    WDR Sendesaal, Klangwald - Cologne, Germany    (FLAC > CD:    78.02m)    VG+/E-

This is a different performance than the above Virtual File 72-03 recording  (see above link for some info)  !!!

73-May-20:   Open Air Festival    Les Ponts de Ce, France    (2CD:    83.51m)   

I've also seen this show listed as 73-May-25

73-Nov-20:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   73    Alhambra Theatre - Saint Ouen, France    (SHN > 2CD:    93.38m)    VG+

I think this show must have just recently surfaced, as I don't think it was previously listed as a known recording
Has some static on louder parts, but overall sounds very good

73-Nov-29:   Tangerine Tree Vol   23    Deutschlandhalle - Berlin, Germany    (Rias FM:    SHN > CD:    40.10m)   

74-July-11:   Tangerine Tree Vol   41    John Peel Show BBC - London, England    (SHN>CD:    22.21m)    E-/E

Frequently incorrectly listed as Chichester, England  (Chicester Festival)
I've been informed by Klaus Beschorner that it's a studio perf, not live, and was bcast by John Peel  (see link for more info)

74-Oct-13:   MetaMusik Festival    Nationalgalerie (National Gallery) - Berlin, Germany    (40.12m)   

74-Oct-13:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   49    Nationalgalerie - Berlin, Germany    (SHN > 2CD:    20.57m)    VG/VG+

74-Oct-29:   Tangerine Tree Vol   2    Sheffield City Hall - Sheffield, England    (43.56m)   

This performance is included on Disc 1 of Tangerine's The Bootleg Box Set, Vol 1  (official release)

74-Oct-30:   Birmingham Town Hall    Birmingham, England    (2CD:    86.18m)    VG

74-Nov-2:   Virtual File 74-05    Liverpool Stadium - Liverpool, England    (2CD:    75.28m)    VG

74-Nov-20:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   52    Kelvin Hall - Glasgow, Scotland    (SHN > 2CD:    86.08m)    VG

Though not great sounding, this is a definite upgrade to the Virtual File 74-06 version  (which I've since given away)

74-Nov-26:   Virtual File 74-07    St George's Hall - Bradford, England    (49.51m)    VG

This has the between song stuff that is cut on the TL version

74-Nov-26:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   47    St George's Hall - Bradford, England    (SHN > CD:    47.14m)    VG/VG+

This is superior to the Virtual File 74-07 version

74-Dec-13:   Reims Cathedral    Reims, France    (2CD:    119.15m)    VG+

Not the FM broadcast version  (which is only 85m)

Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Michael Hoenig

though slightly more mellow, the wonderfully tranquil performances by this short-lived lineup segued perfectly into the slightly more aggressive, though similar shows with Baumann later in 1975, which in my NSHO was Tangerine Dream's peak period and 1975 being their best year


75-Mar-13:   Tangerine Tree Vol   77    Dallas Brookes Hall - Melbourne, Australia    (SHN > 2CD:    84.06m)    VG/VG+

Nice upgrade over my prior version

75-Mar-25:   Festival Theatre    Adelaide, Australia    (2CD:    84.42m  +  unknown 17.08m track )    VG+

Contains an unknown track that I strongly believe is from the Hoenig tour.   See link for my exhaustive explanation.

75-Mar-25:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   20    Adelaide Festival Theatre - Adelaide, Australia    (SHN > 2CD:    86.33m)    VG+/E-

75-Apr-2:   Tangerine Tree Vol   9    Royal Albert Hall - London, England    (2CD:    122.43m)    E-

All but 19m of this performance is included on Discs 2+3 of Tangerine's The Bootleg Box Set, Vol 1  (official release)
I think the missing 19m is from Disc 1 of the above recording

Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Peter Baumann

75-Aug-16:   Tangerine Tree Vol   22    Theatre Antique - Orange, France    (complete:    57.18m)    VG+/E-

75-Autumn:   Ricochet    England + possibly France    (official release:    original silvers)    E-

The TTree Vol 7 version of the 75-Oct-23 show has a cleaner sound and is free of any overdubs  -  the music on Ricochet that is from the 75-Oct-23 show is brief when compared to the full concert recording.  IMO this is their best original release album.
"Ricochet is a composite 'live' album, produced from hours of audio tape recorded during the French and British tours.
The only definitively identified source is "Ricochet, Part Two" from the October 23, 1975 concert at Croydon Fairfield Halls."

75-Sept-14:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   70    F te de l'Humanit - Paris, France    (SHN > CD:    72.40m)

75-Oct-4:   Virtual File 75-06    Coventry Cathedral - Coventry, England    (2CD:    90.48m)    VG/VG+

75-Oct-5:   Colston Hall    Bristol, England    (45.13m)   

Though 2CD recordings are ciculating, they include two recordings of the same 45m   (two tape sources)

75-Oct-5:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   49    Colston Hall - Bristol, England    (SHN > 2CD:    44.06m)    VG+

75-Oct-12:   Virtual File 75-08    Town Hall - Birmingham, England    (2CD:    99.30m)    VG+/E-

Tape hiss present at some parts.   Sounds like it is taken from more than one source, as SQ varies a bit.
Part Three + Part Four are very much in the vein of Ricochet

75-Oct-12:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   49    Town Hall - Birmingham, England    (SHN > 2CD:    42.42m)    VG+/E-

75-Oct-14:   Virtual File 75-16    Friars Vale Hall - Aylesbury, England    (34.00m)

75-Oct-16:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   15    Liverpool Cathedral - Liverpool, England    (SHN > 2CD:    96.52m)    VG/VG+

The last 10 min of Part One is stupidly similar to Ricochet

75-Oct-17:   Virtual File 75-10    Apollo Theatre - Glasgow, Scotland    (2CD:    85.20m)   

Possibly from City Hall

75-Oct-17:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   81    City Hall - Glasgow, Scotland    (SHN > CD:    74.10m)    VG/VG+

75-Oct-19:   Virtual File 75-15    Hardrock Club - Manchester, England    (73.06m)    VG-/VG

Though incomplete, it oddly contains more of the ending music and/or applause of each piece

75-Oct-19:   Hardrock Club    Hardrock Club - Manchester, England    (2CD:    83.39m)    VG+

Much clearer than above  -  the VF75-15 recording is missing the first 10m of Track 1

75-Oct-19:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   38    Hardrock Club - Manchester, England    (SHN > 2CD:    83.55m)    VG+

75-Oct-20:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   3    York Minster Cathedral - York, England    (SHN > CD:    79.37m)    VG+/E-

75-Oct-22:   Olympia Theatre    London, England    (52.17m ?)   

See link for possible corrections and why I'm uncertain about the true recording time

75-Oct-23:   Virtual File 75-13    Fairfield Hall - Croydon, England    (2CD:    Source 1: 67.45m, VG      Source 2: 61.10m, VG+)

Two sources of the same show: Source 1 has noticably inferior SQ, but includes 6 min not on 2nd source, nor TTree 7
Source for Ricochet Pt 2 (before studio overdubs) and Box Set Vol 1, Disc 4 material   (see link for details)

75-Oct-23:   Tangerine Tree Vol   7    Fairfield Hall - Croydon, England    (1st Gen:    SHN > CD:    61.39m)    E-

Source for Ricochet Pt 2 (before studio overdubs) and Box Set Vol 1, Disc 4 material   (see link for details)
Missing 6m that is on Source 1 on Virtual File 75-13 above

75-Dec-1:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   66    Salle de Talence - Bordeaux, France    (42.56m)   

I'm not convinced the date is correct.   To me it sounds more like late 74 - early 75 than late 75 - early 76.
See above link for more detailed info

76-Jan-24:   Tangerine Tree Vol   13    Saarbr cken Universit t - Saarbr cken, Germany    (60.07m)   

76-Jan-26:   Nouvel Hippodrome de Paris    Paris, France    (2CD:    108.12m)    VG/VG+

Has some tape cuts.   This is sometimes listed as 76-Jan-23, though I'm not sure which date is actually correct

76-Jan-26:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   68    Hippodrome - Paris, France    (SHN > 2CD:    102.32m)    VG+

My other recording appears to be a little longer, with the difference occuring in Part Two  (unsure if there is tape overlap)

76-Jan-31:   Tangerine Tree Vol   6    Pabell n de la Casilla - Bilbao, Spain    (1st Gen:    2CD:    114.29m)   

Parts 1+2 of this performance are included on Discs 5+6 of Tangerine's The Bootleg Box Set, Vol 1  (official release)

76-Feb-9:   Auditorium Paul-Emile Janson    Universit Libre de Bruxelles - Brussels, Belgium    (2CD:    127.16m)

76-June-5:   Tangerine Tree Vol   47    Manchester Palace Theatre - Manchester, England    (2CD:    complete:    108.43m)    VG+

I've seen this listed as 76-May-6, but I think that is just a date conversion error  (DD-MM vs MM-DD date formats)

76-June-7:   Virtual File 76-06    Royal Albert Hall - London, England    (2CD:    complete:    97.03m)    VG+

76-June-7:   Royal Albert Hall    London, England    (incomplete:    39.14m)    VG

Incomplete and contains two identical tracks (39.14m each) that are Tracks 1 & 2 (Disc 2) from Virtual Files 76-06.
This surprised me, as I got this from a big player in the Tangerine scene  (Scott Plumer)  who expressed zero concern
for giving me a faulty recording and offered no alternative, so he basically screwed me on this.

76-June-10:   The Dome    Brighton, England    (2CD > Overburned 1CD:    81.51m)    VG+

I added the last 3.19m from TT Vol-81, which mine was missing.   This version sounds much cleaner than TT Vol-81.
TT Vol-81 has muted highs.   You can compare the two at the 8.02 mark on T3 when the Vol-81 source kicks in.
T1 has about 40 secs before the song begins that is not on TT Vol-81

76-June-27:   Tangerine Tree Vol   8    Berlin Philharmonie - Berlin, Germany    (31.31m)   

This performance is included on Disc 7 of Tangerine's The Bootleg Box Set, Vol 1  (official release)
This is also the initial source of their Soundmill Navigator, though SN was supposedly doctored w/ 10min of studio filler

76-Nov-26:   Pabellon    Barcelona, Spain    (2CD:    91.43m)    VG-/VG

Has more clarity (as well as static) than the TL version, though this looks like it has an mp3 lineage
Overall, this has a cleaner sound but more static than TL87, though TL87 is still full of static  (just slightly less so)

76-Nov-26:   Tangerine Leaves Vol   87    Nuevo Pabell n Deportivo - Barcelona, Spain    (SHN > 2CD:    95.30m)    VG-/VG

This is one HEAVILY processed recording.   The source recording is full of static overloads, which led the tadream to use
more noise reduction than usual (though they always tend to be NR happy).   There is still plenty of static (moreso on D2).

Velvet Underground

My interest in VU is pretty much limited to their long songs  -  the earlier the better,  w/ 1966 being by far the best !

1965:   Falling In Love With The Falling Spikes  (inc)    Hedy film soundtrack    (FLAC > CD:    18min)    VG-

The music in intersperced with the dialog, so it's very much a soundtrack  -  interesting but hardly essential
There may have been more VU music not captured here, as the movie is about 70min long

1966:   Searchin For My Mainline  (excerpts)    (SHN > CD:    24.06m)    VG/VG+

tracks 2-4 of disc 1 only

1966:   various 1966 recordings    (FLAC > CD:    8.29m)    VG/VG+

I think this brings to a close my collection of all 1966 Velvet recordings  (at least for the longer tracks)

66-Apr:   Caught Between The Twisted Stars    The Dom - New York, NY    (FLAC > CD:    26.12m)   

One song, listed as Chic Mystique  -  Another essential 1966 recording
Rated as Essential Velvet Collection Material

66-Summer:   Falling In Love With The Falling Spikes  (inc)    Chelsea Girls film soundtrack    (FLAC > CD:    22min)    VG-/VG

The music in intersperced with the dialog, so it's very much a soundtrack  -  interesting but hardly essential
There may have been more VU music not captured here, as the full movie is about 210min long

66-Nov-4:   Caught Between The Twisted Stars    Valleydale Ballroom - Columbus, Ohio    (FLAC > CD:    95.57m)   

By far my single favorite Velvet performance  -  I think 1966 was their peak for live shows.
Melody Laughter (30.04m) + Nothing Song (28.28m) are just unbelievable and ahead of their time and
progressive in a way that none of the psychedilic groups ever came close to.
Rated as Essential Velvet Collection Material

1966-1970:   Caught Between The Twisted Stars    (FLAC > 3CD:    Discs 1-3)    VG-/VG

Place on the end of the 70-July-7 Tangled Up In Who disc 2

1968/1969:   Tommy Demos    Pete Townsend's studio - England    E-


Apparently The Who pulled a Robert Johnson and sold their soul to the devil shortly after the Dec 1968 Circus show.  By the time they began performing Tommy in 1969, they had emerged as a group completely reborn.  Daltrey had become the golden-haired god and Townsend, Entwistle and Moon were firing on all cylinders, jamming like they never had before nor would again after 1970.

69-May-25:   Merriweather Post Pavilion    Columbia, MD    (FLAC > CD:    76.37m)    VG/VG+

one of the earliest circulating recordings of the Tommy material

69-Aug-17:   Woodstock Music & Art Fair:  DVD    Bethel, NY    (DVD > CD:    71.44m)    VG/E-

Absolutely Killer performance. 
Compiled fr 3 dvd sources:  below 46.27m dvd,  Who perf fr the Woodstock movie,  the Woodstock footage fr TKAA
The Who could not have asked for a better timeslot.  Hitting the stage around 4.30 - 5 am Sunday morning, and walking off just as the sun was gently lighting up the pastoral New York sky.  Just beautiful.  Their performance at Woodstock was superb.  The whole band was very aggressive  -  one of their best performances ever, imo.

69-Dec-16:   At The Coliseum 1969    Coliseum - London, England    (DVD > 2CD:    141.06m)    VG+/E-

70-Jan-16:   Th tre des Champs- lys es    Paris, France    (FLAC > 2CD:    111.12m)    VG/VG+

70-Feb-14:   Live At Leeds  (Deluxe Edition)    Refectory Hall, Leeds Univ - Yorkshire, England    (2CD:    official release:    127.03m)    VG+

Though not a bad performance, it's definitely not one of their better ones, when compared to their other 1969-1970 shows
The mix is uneven:  Townsend is upfront, but Entwistle + Moon are way too low in the mix  -  also, the highs are muted)

70-June-15:   Community Theatre    Berkeley, CA    (FLAC > 2CD:    122.43m)    VG/VG+

The difference in picture quality between this and the previously circulating version is night & day.  This shows Wakeman in his brief pre-cape days.  I much prefer seeing him w/o the cape, dressed like a normal person.  He also acts more lively than he does in the Yessongs movie.  By far, the highlight of this is the 8+ min of Yours Is No Disgrace  (including ALL of Howe's smoking solo  -  prime Howe).

72-Oct-31:   Seven Shows From Seventy-Two    Maple Leaf Gardens - Toronto, ON    (original silvers / official release:    2CD    95.21m)   

IMO, the sound quality of these recordings can be a little dull, lacking the vibrancy of other recordings - but maybe I just need to listen to them more.  Still, this is a great set.  I'd love to have them release any recordings they made in early 1972 for possible inclusion in Yessongs.

72-Dec-15:   Yessongs:  DVD    Rainbow Theatre - London, England    (official release:    75.00m)    VG+/E-

There are several things wrong with this performance and movie.  The first problem is that the setlist is not very good and not truly representative of their setlist at this time.  Meaning, that six of the eight songs had been part of their setlist for over a year and four of those six were on The Yes Album, which was the album before the album before CTTE.  Considering this show is from the CTTE tour, that is just plain ridiculous and stupid.  At the very least they should have dropped All Good People and Starship Trooper and replaced them with Siberian Khatru and Heart Of The Sunrise.  The second problem is the inclusion of unnecessary, non-band footage (unfortunatley, this problem is not unique to this concert movie).  The decision to put footage of god-knows what, that has nothing in any way to do with the show, is freaking annoying.  A perfect example of this is CTTE. Who the hell wants to see some footage of something weird and bizare instead of the band? I can only assume that the producers of this movie were twits that had no interest in or knowledge of Yes and thought this other stuff would be "groovy".  Then the third and most significant problem with this movie is that this is not a good performance by the band.  This is the weakest performance from this tour that I've heard.  Just look at Howe's solo in Yours Is No Disgrace.  Instead of his normal fast playing, he choses instead to move his left hand up and down the neck as if he was playing bottleneck.  This just flat out sucks and is possibly the worst solo I have ever heard for this song (compare it to the Yessongs album performance, which was excellent).  So, altogeher, this movie/concert is a 6 on a scale of 10.  OK, enough negativity. The movie is not all bad, nor are the performances. You have some great footage of the band, especially Howe, who was insanely talented during the 71-74 period. Considering that this is the only footage of the band during the 72-74 period alone makes it essential. Also, the performances of AYAI, CTTE and the ending Wurm section of Starship Trooper and are great. The band members are young and full of insane talent.  Based on these things, this is rated as Essential Yes Collection Material.  It's just that this could have been SO much better.

73-Mar-10:   Japanniversary   (Shaun T Remaster)    Kanda Kyoritsu Koudou - Tokyo, Japan    (2CD:    112.25m)    VG+

74-Feb-28:   Tour Of The Oceans    Cobo Hall - Detroit, MI    (2CD:    original discs:    133.21m)   

Still my favorite Tales show.  The band was definitely "on" this night.  They come bursting out of the gate playing Siberian Khatru at breakneck speed, sometimes seeming to be on the edge of losing it.  Everyone is on fire (especially Howe and Squire).  In the last vocal section of the song with the "da da's",  before the closing jam, the band can barely contain themselves, just wanting to break free.  When the vocals end, the flood gates open and they instantly come flying out.  Howe is insane with his ending solo.  IMO 1974 was Yes' peak of balls to the walls playing.  Each member was young and at the top of their game and they prove it playing with reckless abandon, taking an aggressive, fast approach to most songs.   (1975 was a significant drop in terms of virtuosic aggressiveness and this drop continued through to their final tour in 1979).  The opening, pre-vocal section of CTTE is a real highlight.  Howe again is freaking insane, playing fast and furious.  If you like Howe, you have to hear it.

This appears to be the last complete performance of Tales From Topographic Oceans  (The Remembering was dropped from the setlist)

Has a 31m+ performance of Tonight's The Night !!!  (unfortunately the track cuts early)
The SQ of this TTNight is significanly better than the SQ on the complete recording, which is VERY muddy sounding
To be honest, the missing portion of TTNight (plus much of the part I have above) is plain boring after awhile, with just Neil + the audience together singing "tonight's the night" over and over w/o the music but with the obligatory hand-clapping to the beat (this section seems to go on forever), which sort of kills the song.

rated as Essential Neil Young Collection Material
Excellent performance and a rare example of a superbly directed/produced concert film.  The Cortez The Killer > Into The Black section is the real standout.  Cortez The Killer + Like A Hurricane are freaking beautiful.  The sparse, wide open stage set with everything oversized is great.  Finally, I'm surprised as anyone to say that for the most part the Jawas (or whatever they are) actually worked, especially when they begin dancing, starting about mid way into the 2nd set.  Their dancing seems to peak on Cinnamon Girl.  It's great when two of them come onto the stage dancing towards the end of it.  I can't believe that I think they actually added to the show.  I almost never like anything taking place on the stage other than the band (and w/o any additional, backup musicians).  It appears to me that many of them, especially most of the ones that actually dance and skip about, are girls (based on their size and the way they dance).  The actors/dancers deserve a lot of credit, as does Neil for doing it.  That said, the opening sequences for the 1st + 2nd sets with them are way, way too long and some of the between song stuff they do is unnecessary and distracting.  I have to say that Neil whines a bit between Hurricane + Into The Black when he gets hit by one of the stage props carried by the Jawas, At least Neil deserves credit for keeping this in the film, as he's the one that comes across as a wimp.  He did not need to bring this to everyone's attention.

Absolute crap.  Zappa was definitely not "on" this night  -  other than one solo near the beginning, this pretty much sucks in terms of his guitar playing.  If Frank could have given a more crap performance, I would be truly amazed.  Given the talent in this band and Frank's normally excellent playing during this period, it's truly disappointing.  Why they ever released this piece of junk is a mystery.  Then there's the video of their 78-Oct-13 late show in Passaic. Though it's b+w and grainy, it is IMO Zappa's single best guitar show and is light years better than this crap.

78-Oct-13:   Capitol Theatre    Passaic, NJ    (Late Show:    FLAC > CD:    79.30)    VG+/E-

The below mixed discs are just a collection of tracks I made that have great guitar solos  (often based on Zappa Tape Reviewing Society recommendations).  With a few exceptions *, many of the tracks are trimmed of the singing and other annoying stuff, because honestly I think most of Zappa's songs, lyrics and singing truly suck, but I definitely enjoy hearing him ripping apart his guitar.  I especially like the 1978 Autumn shows with Patrick O'Hearn.

* though there are more, some obvious exceptions to this "Frank's songs suck" opinion are: Baltimore, Easter Hay, Yo Mama, most opening solos, and without a doubt his most incredible song (melody wise), Black Napkins.

This is a superb performance. I absolutely love it. Georgie Born's bass and cello playing adds so much to the sound. I listen to this recording a lot, and because the tracks are so long and the playing so diverse throughout, it never becomes repetitive.
