Despite the LP mode mishap resulting in a 32kHz sample rate
and a lack of high frequencies, this recording, although not
the absolute best, is still very listenable indeed - even
if I do say so myself. A solid EX-.
I decided to break away from the pack and squeeze the whole
of set 2 and encores onto one CD for convenience's sake. The
shock and horror of not hearing 3m30secs of rapturous applause
at the end of "Echoes" will fade soon enough, I feel. Does
anyone bother to listen to those third CDs? ;-) . The only
other noticeable thing that has been cut from the recording
is a few secs of the WYWH intro, which was barely audible
anyway due to audience chatter. You'll still hear a snippit
of applause here, which I've deliberately left in to show
I've not missed anything important out.
Glasgow, IMHO, was indeed a special night with the setlist
following favourable lines - no daft guests ruining treasured
songs or introducing boring ones. The crowd was "up for it",
adding a good atomsphere, but without being too rowdy and
spoiling the band's great performace. The better than average
accoustics of the "Armadillo" meant the performance was given
in near ideal conditions and I'm sure everyone there that
night knew that they had witnessed something a bit special.
