           Dark Side as we know and love it. -OSO

           Average crowd recording. DSOTM as usual. Notice the rare
           performance of 'Obscured../When You're In'. Errata in
           timing the correct beginning of songs.

           From the November 4th 1973 concert that makes a nice change
           from the 72 One! Basic in it's packaging, a single sided
           insert, it manages an EX average from the tape source onto
           a single CD, but catches DSOTM in full with Obscured By
           Cloudes and When You're In as encores.         -BD (#24)

           Very nice 73 concert, more like the DSotM album than the 72
           concerts. Great stereo, sound effects are *very* clear and
           loud, especially the speaking after Money. There is also a
           very long Speak To Me where you can hear instruments being
           tuned. The encore with Obscured../When You're In is also
           nice and not on many RoIO's. On the louder tracks there is
           a little distortion in the sound, ruining the overall
           impression of this CD a bit, but I still like it very much.
                                                          -TOR

           Great sound quality. Very clear and crisp. This show is a
           very good performance, and it includes the only live
           versions of Obscured by Clouds and When You're In that I
           have seen on CD.  -ECM

           This is a very good audience recording, considering the time of 
           the concert. Worth the purchase just for OBC/WYI. The person 
           was obviously close to one of the quadrophonic speakers where 
           the sound effects were coming out, because they are much 
           clearer than the music. The end of Us and Them and the 
           beginning of Any Colour You Like are edited out. Before 
           OBC/WYI, the crowd seems to be screaming for "Echoes". You can 
           hear Roger (or is it Rick) tuning up the bass many times 
           throughout the concert. Definitely recommended. 
                          - BB 

           Though I do not yet have this show, it should be noted that 
           this is the last Floyd performance before they brought Raving 
           And Drooling and Shine On You Crazy Diamond into their 
           repertoire some 7 months later in France. That alone makes it 
           interesting.
