Definitely a sizzling performance from the Floyd on this hot night in Cleveland. The crowd is rowdy as usual and throughout the show, you can occasionally hear people screaming 'sit down!' to those in their way. Quality is excellent as I believe this comes from the master tape.
Highlights include a 21+ minute version of Pigs and the always amazing Shine On VI-IX. Important to note that the encores are not in the proper order, Us and Them should come before Money. Roger has a few choice words for the audience, but thats not really anything new is it?

Comments (from YGBC Site) again a bunch of fireworks all along the recording, audience pretty excited. The taper makes some comments after Money and tries to interview his friend, even. Waters seems not as so annoyed by some audience attitudes yet. Both at the beginning and at the end of the first set the announcer gives dispositions to the wild audience. SOYCD (parts 1-5) has a little cut at the very beginning actually, the taper probably would not record the second announcement and missed a bit of the beginning of the song. Us and Them uses to fade in as well, Dogs has on the contrary a little cut at the very very end. according to the standard set list of the US 'In The Flesh' tour there's no doubt about the order of the encore, though the songs are not consecutive, in my other version from the master Us & Them is indexed before Money ... who knows why ... both my RoIOs have the same source, that should be the master recording. archives use to report Waters shouting 46/46 during the show, it's clear it's not true. Waters says 46 on Pigs (3DO) 2nd verse at 4:46 - but then a clear 45 on 3rd verse at 12:10 --- I honestly can hear a 40+something at 11:56 too ... bah

My Comments: Hey what an incredible concert. The usual encores, yes, but the version of Money here is dynamite with some amazing guitar improvisations by Dave Gilmour.
