Wembley, London UK during
the
British Winter Tour of 1974
Date: Performed November 16, 1974
SQ: A (outstanding audience recording)
Source: 1st Generation copy of the master discs
Liberated in its lowest generation form yet, in SHN-only format, by Man
of Leisure Music (MoLM) May, 2004 using the FloydArtifacts listserv and
Sharing the Groove. MD5 codes listed at bottom.
Mastering: Transferred to disc by a close friend of the taper. Someone
who obviously knew what they were doing. (Thank you) This is one of the
few departures from our signature re-mastering methods; MoLM has not
performed any sound alteration, nor speed correction to this phenomenal
recording.
Background: Obtained in a trade with the taper, Man of Leisure Music (MoLM)
has secured a 1st gen clone of the master discs. We're ever so grateful.
This is the very well known concert performed during the British Winter
Tour in late 1974. This night, the BBC recorded what many Pink Floyd
fans consider to be the finest live version of Dark Side of the Moon. To
my understanding, the BBC did not record the first set of this timeless
concert.
Here it is, the full concert, and one of the better audience recordings
you will ever hear of Pink Floyd.
Recently, the pre-FM broadcast soundboard edition of the BBC-recorded
second set, including the Echoes encore, was liberated on Sharing the
Groove and the FloydArtifacts listserv. (thanks Boss Binth for grabbing
it!)
Man of Leisure Music would like to now share this audience version with
the Pink Floyd Trading community to compliment the pre-FM broadcast
soundboard roio. Together, they represent the two definitive recordings
of this historic date in Rock and Roll history.
