Pink Floyd
"Santa Monica Master"
Civic Center, Santa Monica, California
23rd October 1970 - [Remastered]

This is taken from the Master tapes, the recording levels appear to be lower than on the "Sing to me Cymbaline" version, but playing this on the speakers, there is only slight hiss, and everything sounds very clear. Careful With that axe Eugene fades out and then back in due to some problem with the tapes. There are some quite interesting versions of songs performed here, especially Atom Heart Mother and Cymbaline, however Interstellar Overdrive is missing from this version. During the performance of "Eugene" someone in the audience screams near the beginning and Roger says in an echoey voice "We've not got to that bit yet"!

Remastering Notes (TS Source):
AHM previously contained 3:28 from a different source/show. This is now removed with the resulting join cross-fade edited together, so that now AHM is all from the Master source.
Interstellar Overdrive is taken from a different source ("Sing To Me Cymbaline") and is added after AHM to complete the full show. Although this track is not from the master it is still very good audio and an excellent highlight to the recording.
