Comments:  If like me the 70/71 tours are your favorites because the 
           band still jam, you won't be diassappointed with this baby. 
           Sound overall is a VG+ pushing Ex audience recording. No bad 
           edits. A nice "Careful ..", to start with is followed by an 
           excellent extended "Fat Old Sun". "Cymbaline" has a long 
           footstep sequence where the only bad stuff occurs with the 
           German audience yelling a fair bit. On balance the crowd is 
           well behaved though. Highlights are the title track (an early 
           version of "Echoes") and a scorching "Saucerful .." where 
           Dave has great fun with his Binsen Echorec. Topped off with 
           "Astronomy Domine" and the imaginatively titled "Blues" 
           (tedious waffle in my opinion), and you have a set that both 
           neophytes and hardcores can enjoy. 
           
           The only negative? Spelling the bands name "Pink Foloyd" on 
           the spines! 
           
           Highly recommended.
