This is a hot performance.  All songs are played aggressively.  Contains the 
longest performance of Embryo, most of which is has very little to do with the 
actual song. Fat Old Sun is the short version, with only one verse sung before 
the middle jam section. AHM has the best siren intro I've heard.  It just screams 
when the band kicks in.  Very cool.  The vocal section is also great.  Echoes 
cuts halfway through. 

This performance contains the final performance of Embryo, Fat Old Sun, and 
Cymbaline. It was also Floyd's last performance that had AHM as part of the 
standard set list. This show is truly the end of the early Floyd.  After this 
show, Floyd debuted the Dark Sidinosaur and everything slowly started to unravel 
for them.  This is truly the end of Floyd's GREATEST era.

There are better and more complete recordings of this show available.  This one is 
somewhat tinny.

This show is rated as essential collection material.
