I finally managed to listen to this show. The sound is remakably clear and the performance outstandig. You can go wrong with this one. It’s a MUST. I just wanted to learn how it compares to the Sigma release (Definitive Boredom and Pain).

This is a great sounding release and performance only marred by the cut during Shine On parts 6-9, unfortunately this is a trend that rears it’s ugly head in quite a few 1977 releases. If Roger says it was good it was good. Really great performance. sc

Love this stuff! I learn so much from these discussions. Thanks guys! This is really really interesting. I actually didn’t know there were TWO great recordings from this show. I honestly thought the recording used on this release was the Lampinski tape …

GSPARACO, by the Sigma realease, you mean BOREDOM AND PAIN? If so, which one sounds better or, If I were supposed to pick only one, which one should I choose?

The June 27th, 1977 Pink Floyd show has two great recordings. Cannonball use the great Hopkins tape, which can also be found on Heartbreaker and Sirene, and there is the Lampinski tape which Sigma released.

How many Boston ’77 recordings are there?

I can only agree with the above review. This release doesn’t contain anything really new (evene though I never heard it before), but is really up there with the best tapes of this tour – maybe it is THE best tape.

I received this with the other Cannonball release of the Oakland recording. That one I had for many years on the (for the time) very nice Discurious edition “Plays the Animals”. Though that is a remarkable show with a fantastic setlist, after listening to the Boston show I feel this show is my personal favourite. The sound is remarkably clear. Right now I am listening to the intro to Shine on, and I honestly never thought I’d hear the synth intro as clear as this. It is almost the quality of an official recording. The audience is well behaved (for the -77 tour) and the mix music/audience is just as I like it to be.
In the end, I don’t need to make the choice between either of the Boston or the Oakland shows as I have both sets. Call me crazy, but I may however have opted for the Boston show …
