This is a really clear recording,
which starts of with the an introduction to the band in French.
The band are really on form with this show with excellent performances
of Fat Old Sun, Set The Controls and One of These
Days where the audience clap for nearly a minute during the
beginning. This is one of several excellent versions of OoTD that
were played during November 1971.
Comments (from the Pink Floyd ROiO Database):
A few brief cuts during songs, some applause cut between songs.
A few tape faults such as interference and speed changes. One
annoying speed change at the end of "A Saucerful Of Secrets."
Many good tapes resulted from this tour, and many solid performances.
For sound quality, this one scores a little short of 16/11/71,
but noticeably better than 20/11/71. AHM fades prematurely
during Rick's jam. Overall though, it stands up well to multiple
listens. The performance is excellent, though not particularly
unusual.
The introduction is a few
sentences in French, except for the concluding quip, "I hope everybody
is stoned." Roger also says a few words in French before several
songs. The encore of ASoS could be a bit more far out than
usual.
I have extensivelty re-mastered this recording further by slightly
reducing the hiss, making the music even clearer, plus a few gaps
and speed noises have been removed as seamlessly as possible making
this more enjoyable to listen to. There are still some problems
which cannot be corrected, possibly due to creases in the original
tape, like in the middle of Careful With that axe Eugene.
I have removed the "annoying speed change" at the end
of A Saucerful Of Secrets, and it sounded better now. This
was quite a mess before I started to re-master and repair the
many faults with this recording, now it's far superior than before.
