Comments:  Unlisted track 6: On The Turning Away.

           This is taken from the television broadcast of Pink Floyd's
           '89 performance in Venice.  The sound quality, therefore, is
           awesome.  The performance ain't bad too.

           This CD contains my absolute favorite performance of Yet
           Another Movie. The band, especially Dave and Tim, really add
           to this song here in a way that I have not heard before or
           since.  The guitars float around the song perfectly, adding
           atmosphere to an already very atmospheric song exactly where
           it's needed.  On the Turning Away is in fine shape too.

           And many of the other songs have a real feeling of space,
           adding to the songs immensely, leading me to wonder why they
           didn't use this instead of Delicate Sound.

           The band slips up a little, but if you see the video of
           this, you can tell that it's no big deal.  Dave comes in a
           line late on Wish You Were Here, and then on Money, when
           Dave yells "Saxophone!" the sax player mysteriously fails to
           start playing for a few bars.  (In the video it looks like
           he was backstage and had to run up in time for his part).

           The only problem that I have with the CD is that, due to
           time constraints, the set was shortened.  Only the intro of
           Shine On was played, most of the first set and One of These
           Days were eliminated.

           Other than that, an excellent show and a great Roio.   -PK
