Almost complete show. This new recording adds the missing Embryo and
a complete Fat Old Sun.

This is an excellent, aggressive performance by Floyd, very close to the end of 
their peak period (ending on 71-Nov-20)

I know that previously there was a 67min recording with this date that was really 
from 71-Nov-16.  Here is the set list of this bogus recording:

	1 - Embryo
	2 - Fat Old Sun
	3 - Set The Controls
	4 - Echoes

After some investigation, I firmly believe that this newer recording (Those Were 
The Days), as well as a slightly older 88min recording that was missing Embryo 
Philidelphia Experiment), ARE from Nov-12 and NOT from Nov-16.  Here is my 
reasoning for this statement:

  A good friend of mine (who is usually in the know about these things) said that 
  some of this recording may be from Nov-16. He cited Cymbaline as a possible song 
  from Nov-16, with a switch made near the end (before David's laugh attack).  I then 
  compared the two Cymbaline's.  At the very beginning of the Nov-12 Cymbaline, at the 
  end of the first verse (the "high time Cymbaline" part), David does NOT sing 
  "Please wake me".  I then listened to all other known recordings from late 1971 
  shows from Sept-23 - Nov-20 (see my list for these shows) and could not find any 
  other Cymbaline missing this "Please wake me" bit.  I even compared the second half 
  of it to Oct-10 (which cuts in midway), and they are definitely not the same 
  performance.  So, I feel safe in saying this Cymbaline is not from Nov-16, nor the 
  shows just mentioned.  Again, I think the date attributed to this recording is legit.
