This is the 'early' DSotM set. It has the unedited 'On the Run' jam and
all the other 'stuff' from the 'Best of tour '72' show. I am not sure,
but I suspect that this is the same show as the new RoIO cd 'Horizons'.
Overall the best recording that I have heard of this time period. The
only thing that is annoying is that DSotM is indexed as one track.
Recorded at the Nakajima Sports Centre, Sapporo, Japan on March 13th
1972, this well rehearsed DSOTM performance with the addition of One Of
These Days and Axe, lacks the full show that would have included Echoes
and AHM --hence the single CD. A one sided panel insert sleeve serves as
a cover with shots of the band and a nice colour shot of Mason's Water
Waves bass drums. Sound is best described as clear but lacking in
brightness with a constant moderate tape hiss. All in all an interesting
document of this period for fans of an embryonic DSOTM.
Great sound quality, but the fact that the whole Dark Side set is on one
track is somewhat annoying.
Cold Front contains a fantastic "One of These Days" and a blood-curdling
"Careful With That Axe, Eugene."
