Comments:  Same recording as 3CD Cracked, but Cracked is of
           much lower quality.

           It's an audience recording so don't expect too much. I
           found it to be very variable: it starts pretty badly but
           seems to get better or is it just that the ear becomes
           accustomed to the poor sound. 'Best of Tour 72' is *the*
           Dark Side to get, far superior to this one. Disc 2 is
           probably better but again don't build up your hopes too
           much. For the 28 UK pounds I spent on it I don't consider
           I have a bargain!                        -DAVID

           A very good '72 recording of a full show, including a early
           DSotM set. Sound quality is excellent, it's very clear and
           there is very little audience noise. There is a little
           tape hiss (and thus not as good as the 'Best Of Tour 72'
           CD), but it is far better than the 3CD 'Cracked' which contains
           the same show. On The Run is the jam version and TGGITS is
           without vocals (or the preacher tapes) but with the piano
           parts. I've got some video clips from this show and there's a
           lot fireworks and a great light show to accompany the concert.
           As opposed to the 'Cracked' RoIO this one contains the whole
           of Echoes, and the recording is going at the right speed. The
           CD also includes a nice 20 pages booklet (as GDR always have).
           I'll recommend this one.                 -TOR

           Same show as Cracked. It's a classic show; definitely worth
           having. The sound quality on these CDs is better than
           Cracked, and this whole show is on only two CDs, so it's a
           better buy.  Recommended.  -ECM

           Apart from the pompeii-movie, this was the last time they played
           'Saucer'.  -ANDRE
