Just a few corrections here. The very brief cut or dropout that occurs in ‘Careful w/ that Axe, Eugene’ actually happens at approx. 9:26 instead of 9:36, and the very end of the track doesn’t seem to be missing. Also, ‘Saucerful’ is in fact indeed out of sequential order, as the encore, on the very old release “A Psychedelic Night II” by Triangle Records, but it’s actually in the proper order on Highland’s “Pink’s Psychedelic Last Night”, as it is on both Devil Breath’s “Ultimate Breakfast” here & Ayanami’s 3-pro-CD-R “Alan’s Psychedelic Master Tape”, and most fan-produced non-commercial CD-R releases.

Finally got one of these late last week (along with Godfather’s “Oxfam Concert”), and I’m quite pleased with it. I had been thinking that Sigma would likely be doing an upgrade of their Ayanami pro-CD-R version sooner or later, but now there may be no real need to with this release probably being virtually as good as it gets. I never noticed any easily-discernable tape speed problems, and I have no complaints about any of the artwork pieces, even if they’re not on the best-quality paper.

I must wholeheartedly agree with the review, a huge upgrade in sound quality compared to the highland release of this very important show. As a huge fan of the 1969-1971 period this show must be considered as essential

Hmmm… I was very disappointed with this release, mainly because of the cheap paper inserts…. and the tape speed problems are horrendous in places. Otherwise, a fine upgrade.

Decided to revisit this release for some late night listening and what a great release!! “Fat Old Sun” rocks.. I’m picky with the Floyd I collect and IMO this is decent sound quality for 1970 and a very enjoyable release with balanced instruments.
