Pink Floyd
Niedersachsenhalle, Hannover, West Germany
15th March 1970

The quality of this recording is very clear, but the for most of Set The Controls, there is a bit of a hum, I'm not sure if it was a noise from the PA system or not, however it suddenly stops at the end of this track, the hum also appears in part of Atom Heart Mother. This recording comes from a First Generation and is very nice indeed. There are particularly good performances of Cymbaline, Embryo and Interstellar Overdrive. In addition to this the final piece, an early performance of Atom Heart Mother, is performed quite differently varying the notes somewhat. Rick's Keyboard solo is excellent, as is Gilmour's guitar playing, even the choral passage sounds unusual.

I have also now remastered this recording, repairing a few gaps, boosting the volume of the Left channel by 2db to balance the sound, and reduced the hiss as it was quite hissy. The end result is a clearer and more balanced sound than before.

Disc 1:
1. Set The Controls For The Heart of the Sun (12.14)
2. Careful with that axe, Eugene (8.42)
3. Cymbaline (8.51)
4. A Saucerful of Secrets (14.06)

Disc 2:
1. Embryo (9.23)
2. Interstellar Overdrive (13.37)
3. Consequently (Atom Heart Mother - without Brass/Choir) (18.48)
