Pink Floyd
Taft Auditorium, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
20th Nov 1971

I thought I had heard some interesting versions of Embryo in my time, but this Taft version is truly incredible, it's like an amazing jam, certainly the best ever version I have heard. Forget what it says in the book "Embryo", this is 27 minutes of Embryo including some truly brilliant improvisation. It's the most amazing new piece of Pink Floyd music I have heard in 20 years. It's also got to be the longest Gilmour solo ever!! The quality is very clear, even more so now that I have reduced the hiss further and repaired several faults in the recording.

CD1:
1. Embryo (28.12) incl 50 secs of tuning up
2. Set The Controls (15.29)
3. Fat Old Sun (13.08)
4. Atom Heart Mother (19.33)
CD2:
1. Careful With That Axue, Eugene (13.30)
2. Tuning up (0.49)
3. Cymbaline (11.57)
4. Echoes (15.53) - end missing
