Quality:   Ex- -CEBBY

Comments:  This is Volume I of a 2 disc set. Track 5 is listed as
           One of These Days.

           Sound is better than on ROTSON ROIO.  Second half of recording
	   is on "Volume II, Eugene".  -CEBBY
	   
	   This is a pretty good stereo audience recording. The
           audience is very quiet, and doesn't affect the listening
           during the songs.

           During "Set The Controls", it seems that the tape source
           had a problem with the left channel. At 5:48, the left
           channel is totally lost for about 2 minutes, then it
           reappears, but with a very low level. This problem
           disappears with the next track ("Atom Heart Mother").

           "Atom Heart Mother" is the version without the brass
           section. It fades out early, after the "Funky Dung" part.
           Track 5 is listed "One Of These Days", but it's in fact
           the very end of "Atom Heart Mother" ("Remergence").
           BTW, this is the same mistake as for "The Return Of The
           Sons Of Nothing" (Gold Standard) ROIO. "One Of These Days"
           can be found on the second half of this concert (see
           "Eugene" ROIO).

           The performance is excellent. This is one of the last
           concerts from the "Meddle" tour. Two month later, the Floyd
           began their 1972 tour, playing the "Dark Side Of The Moon"
           for the first time. Here, we have one of the very last live
           versions of "Embryo" and "Fat Old Sun". "Set The Controls"
           is very good, and is very close to the "Live At Pompeii"
           version (the Pompeii's sessions took place one month
           before, in October 1971).     -MARC-OLIVIER.
