Pink Floyd
"OBSCURED AT THE RAINBOW"
Rainbow Theatre, London, UK (Late 8pm show)
4th Nov 1973

This is the Robert Wyatt benefit concert, supported by Soft Machine. The concerts raised £10,000 in aid of Robert Wyatt who after an accident was now confined to a wheelchair. Tickets for these shows were advertised only one week before the performance, and they were by personal application only. I took a train to London, some 150 miles to join the queue at 3am. I saw the first performance at 5pm, I did record the show but the quality is not very good.

This is the best sounding RoIO among the circulating ones of the late performance at the Rainbow Theatre. I cannot understand why Obscured By Clouds is split into 2 tracks here, the tracks play seamlessly.

Release: PYCD 053 - Triangle Records. Less hissy than others, still some distortions.
