Pink Floyd
Het Amsterdamse Bos, Amsterdam
The Netherlands - 26th June 1971

An absolutely superb performance from this free outdoor concert in a forest near Amsterdam, where it apparently was pouring down with rain. The quality is amazingly clear for an audience recording. After removing hiss and crackle caused by an original vinyl pressing and carefully removing any nasty clicks and pops, the quality is now first class. There are some very interesting versions of songs especially "Cymbaline" with the heavy breathing instead of the footsteps, and "Embryo" with Roger's 'Grooving with a Pict' type ranting, and an extremely nice "Saucerful of Secrets". All in all one of the most enjoyable concerts I have come across in a long time.

Track Details:

1. Careful with that axe, Eugene
2. Cymbaline
3. Embryo
4. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
5. Crowd Noise "We Want More..."
6. A Saucerful of Secrets
