Comments (as they came with the files):
* Missed about 3 min (2:52) in the middle (@ 1:15).
I dedicate this recording to all the Floyd fans here and on other sites/hubs/groups, especially the person from Harvested Group and his friend who managed to find a ticket for me. You have all helped me grow my Floyd collection…. And so it goes…

I didn't buy the tickets when they went on sale because of developing vacation plans. When the plans were cancelled, well, I could have kicked myself for not buying the tickets. As mentioned earlier, I managed to get one ticket for the 2nd show through someone from Harvested Group. I couldn’t have been happier!

All I can say is that it was a fantastic show! I was so happy to see them play 'Echoes', 'Wot's... uh the Deal?', 'Dominoes' and wished they played 'Fat Old Sun'. I had a balcony seat, located almost center of the venue, section 206, row F, seat 14.

The recording… You will notice a 3-minute gap on 'Smile' after 1:15 minutes (I had to make a desperate move to the bathroom, having consumed several beers pre-show). There are some microphone noises in a few spots, as well. Despite this, I think you will find the quality of this recording to be quite enjoyable.

Musicians performing: David Gilmour: guitar & vocals, Rick Wright; Keyboards, Guy Pratt: Bass, Phil Manzanera: Guitar, Dick Parry: Saxophone, Jon Carlin: Keyboards and Steve DiStanislao: Drums.
