Comments:  This seems to be hard to get, and that's a shame! The clear
           sound is only disturbed by some tape hiss. Very few crowd
           noise. "One Of These Days" is an absolute killer. The band
           was in a really fantastic mood this evening! For curiosity:
           "Echoes" is announced by Roger as: "Looking Through The
           Knotholes In Grannys Wooden Leg".

           Recorded at Boblingen November 15th 1972, this reaches EX+
           for sound tape source and packaging with notes on the show
           itself. This is a single CD (missing the Dark Side half of
           the show).                                  -BD (#24)

           I consider myself very lucky to have been able to get a copy of 
           this one; I believe it may have been one of the first Floyd 
           RoIOs to come out on CD. Other than some hiss (of the kind you 
           stop noticing very quickly), the sound is very clear and full. 
           All three tracks are good, but my favorite is CWTAE, with a 
           first-rate 'mad Scotchman' act and some great screams by the 
           inimitable Roger. My only quibble is how much more of the show 
           they could've put on the disc, but better to leave off DSotM 
           and keep these three tracks than the other way around... - MT 

           I picked this up for 14 and it was well worth it, even though 
           there are only three songs on it. One of These Days is 
           thunderingly good. Careful With That Axe Eugene far exceeds the 
           studio version - Roger is ranting away into an echo-drenched 
           microphone, and Echoes is pretty much flawless. there s no date 
           given, but it doesn t have the echoes saxophone solo that was 
           on the random precision roio, so it s presumably pre-Dark Side 
           (?) There s a fade-out at the end of Eugene, before Echoes 
           starts. It also says limited edition 2000 copies , but i wonder 
           if this is true. DEFINITELY worth buying.
