This
is gem of a recording that I have mistakenly ignored for quite some
time. Several years ago I got this recording on cassette and remember
thinking it was an unusual show. Later I transferred this onto Minidisc,
but for some reason after playing the beginning of the show, I had
dismissed the recording thinking that it wasn't very good. After
comparing my recording to that from another trader, I discovered
that mine was in fact better quality, and yet the trader I had compared
it to was supposed to have been from the Master tapes. It was certainly
the same source as identified by noises in the crowd around the
taper.
It is only the beginning that is substandard quality, as the quality
improves significantly during the recording. The introductions by
the band do sound very distant, but the actual music played comes
across much clearer, and some parts of the recording are actually
really superb, especially with the hiss removed without leaving
any alien noises in the background. Careful with that axe Eugene
is very interesting after the vocal bit, and Interstellar Overdrive
is exceptionally clear with some nice keyboard work by Rick Wright.
