I just got it and I’m waiting ’till the 17th to listen to it.
Then I’ll tell you about it…maybe.

the sound quality is much better than wind and seabirds. heart of darkness is much fuller sounding. the definitive release so far.

This is the first time I’ve heard this show and I’m stunned at how good the sound quality is, especially for a 1971 show. Pink Floyd are not as adventurous in San Diego as they would be in Cincinnati and Cleveland later in the tour, but the show is highly enjoyable.

I can confirm DLee’s response to lug_nutz6, with HOD being noticeably better the WAS. Same source (listen for the sneezes before ‘Cymbaline’!)but HOD is a lower generation, with less hiss yet clearer vocals and instruments, ie it is not noise-reduction that has reduced the hiss. WAS distorts slightly in places but, for all that, is still a pleasant listen.

Thanks DLee for the info. I guess I have another Sirene to locate.

The Highland version was pretty good, but certainly noticeably inferior to the better releases such as “From Oblivion”, etc.; and “Heart of Darkness” sounds noticeably cleaner than “Wind & Seabirds”, as do the better ones of the others also too.

What are people’s opinion of this title versus the Highland equivalent, (Wind & Seabirds)? Is the Sirene version worth upgrading to? Does it sound that much better? Any insight is always appreciated.

This particular version of “Careful…..Eugene” is one of my all-time favorites, as is the “Atom Heart Mother” from this show as well. What seems to be rather unusual for “Careful” this night is that Roger doesn’t start his screaming until approx. 2-3 minutes after he whispers the ‘Careful…with that axe, Eugene’ line. Thanks to WGPSEC for the great review.

I needed to upgrade my copy of Embryo San Diego 1971 on Live Storm and this was a perfect choice. Excellent performance and love how it starts off with Careful With That Axe.. I have GS to blame for my growing Pink Floyd collection. Thanks to his suggestions I’ve picked up some great stuff.
