The quality is not very great though, although, looking at the date, and it's an audience recording, it's not very bad either (there are worse :-). It sounds sometimes as if the stage was very far away (but De Doelen aren't *that* big...), but since I love this playlist, it's a pleasure to listen. The songs don't really have any exciting moments of jamming, but are played very very descently, very cool :-)). I think they were having a good day :-) At the end of Fat Old Sun, a Dutch voice is asking on behalf of the fire department if the people in the aisles want to go back to their places. As reaction to that, someone says 'lul' (dick). While Floyd is taking their time for tuning... Atom Heart Mother is played without orchestra. After AHM it seems they're taking a break ("Thank you, we'll be back soon"). The track continues though, it's tune up time again, and the audience finds that pretty amusing. During Embryo you hear some Dutch talking, but I can't figure out what. Something about party... at almost 10 minutes though is the sound pretty screwed up for few seconds, which made me kinda dizy... Cool version though. Green Is The Colour starts with some talking too, but I couldn't really hear it. The Celstial Voices part of Saucerful is becoming my favorite, it's a very nice version, David is really in the mood... hehe they are all actually :-) If you're not really looking for great quality sound, this is definitely recommended. -CRAZY D
