Pink Floyd
Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland
3rd & 4th February 1977

Although some of the songs are incomplete or cut (now have fade-out), this is a nice quality, stereo, audience recording taken from consecutive nights at the same venue. The sound has an extremely 'electric' & close feel to it, as though the microphone is right next to the speakers. This is particularly evident on the Dogs solos & Shine On You Crazy Diamond. However the only fault is the occasional problem with speed of the recording, which would be very difficult to correct.

The recording has been edited to fade out tracks rather than sudden endings, also Pigs (Three Different Ones) and Have A Cigar have had cuts seamlessly joined. Similarly in the middle of Shine On a cut has been repaired as best as possible. Tape-hiss has also been reduced to leave a much clearer sound.

As did happen on some night, during the Animals tour, Waters omits to shout out an identifying number during Pigs (Three Different Ones).

Track Details:

1. Sheep (13.59)
2. Pigs on the Wing Part 1 (2.11)
3. Dogs (8.49)
4. Pigs (3 Different Ones) (18.08)
5. Shine on you Crazy Diamond (1-5) (15.03)
6. Welcome to the Machine (8.09)
7. Have a Cigar (6.43)
