There has been so much talk about this one, including some rumours that Waters would be present at one of the airings in Stockholm and that the record company wanted to buy the tape etc etc. Anyway, all that just sounded very discouraging and I never ever expected to hear that tape. And then, suddenly it is here! leearzap: I have not heard the Stockholm tape yet but did hear about the vocals beeing not very audible. A shame. But it seems to be a reoccuring thing with early Floyd. One might wonder if it was something partly intentional? Anyway, apart from that it is from what I understand supposed to be good quality both sound and performancewise? Regarding the vocals, I’ve heard that there might have been a problem with the PA. I think however, since the Copenhagen-tape has the same issue, that it might be due to the loud volume of the instruments. I’ve read somewhere that Floyd played LOUD in those days. Anybody got a better explanation? Because I’m curious about it as well… Well, qul006b, I had a chance to really sit down with the Stockholm performance (The Golden Circle [Blue Cafe-292]) Given the scarcity of tapes from the Barrett era good or bad sound probably wouldn’t be a deal breaker anyway. At least I for one would buy it irrespective of sound quality. It is just fantastic that a new tape has surfaced after all these years. I can’t wait to hear it! The tape is an audience-recording; for sure there’s some talking next to the taper, nothing disturbing or loud, though. From what I read on the internet it was taped during the airing. So, an audience-tape made this year. I don’t know if the tape that was played is a Soundboard-recording; possibly, since EMI was interested? leearzap: Thanks a lot for your impressions on the tape. I will definately buy the cd. The original tape is an audience recording but made with professional mics and a Revox reel to reel recorder. So if this is from the airing earlier this year it is basically an audience recording of an audience recording. :) Sorry the comment area are closed |
