Indeed. It would be great to have some recordings from earlier in the tour, with “Echoes”. Let’s hope that the Godfather folks are reading this & take note.

Hi, my feeling is that “Momentary Lapse in Japan” just has the edge over the Play This! version of the Modena gig (which I agree is absolutely excellent), in terms of sound quality. There is hardly anything between them though. The crowd noise is generally more prominent at Modena, but they are both terrific documents to have. Certainly do pick up this Godfather release if you get the opportunity.

Does it sound better than the Modena, Italy (July, 8th 1988) show? I have it on the Play This! label and it sounds fantastic. Definitely an A++ recording.

I just bought this one today at the local bootleg dealer.
I can definitely confirm that the sound quality is second to none. I don’t think I have another 87-89 show sounding as good as this one.
My only wish however would be that Godfather released some of those really early 87 shows where Floyd still played Echoes. Very few sources for those shows exist, and are in any case hard to come by …
