Pink Floyd
Wembley Empire Pool, Middlesex, England
(Benefit for "War on Want")

21st Oct 1972

This is an unprocessed version from a nice second generation cassette.
I won't go into the story of the 2 sources cause I really can't tell for sure, the pieces or recording more included here (like on "A Benefit For War On Want" ) could be from a different source but sounds very similar to all the rest.

Since the Master > HIFI doesn't include these pieces and here these sounds a bit different to the rest maybe there can be really a recorder 2 (as many suppose) used to fill this tape (and fillers on tapes are not so unusual to find). I have some doubts about the reliability of the Master > HIFI anyway, as already expressed before, this second gen. (and also the 4th Gen.) sound much better than that actually.

Anyway, why so many versions for this date you ask? Of course 'cause this is one of the nicest performances and one of the best sounding recordings of the tour. This is the most complete version, sounds more or less like "A Benefit For War On Want" but has something that makes this more enjoyable than that. Unfortunately Eclipse is missing the very end and this is the only 'imperfection' of this copy (the 4th Gen. has no cut). - Notes from Sara's website.
