Since "Cymbaline" was rehearsed, it may as well have been
played. It was, with "Astronomy Domine", a regular of the
Floyd's live repertoire in 1970.
You may notice at moments that the audio is out of synch.
This is not due to a bad digital transfer or an error in the
editing, it seems that when the show was recorded not all
the cameras (if any)were recording the audio. Considering
how hard film editing can be, some synchro troubles appeared
on the original.
The show is shot with three cameras : two cameras on stage
(mobile)and one on the left side of stage in the audience
(on a tripod). This last one was obviously in synch as you
can check on most close up views when either David or Roger
is singing / talking.
Most views of Nick are out of synch slighlty at 06.30 in "Atom
Heart Mother" or badly at 16.53 in "The Embryo"). But you
can see Roger announcing "This is called the Embryo" in synch
and David is singing in synch just after, at 17.19 in "The
Embryo", as well as in Cymbaline at 28.25. As far as it can
be checked, Roger is also in synch at the very end of "Set
the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", at 48.30.
An audio tape of this broadcast had been floating for ages,
and we also had a "Cymbaline" soundcheck which doesn't appear
on this video. As we wanted to include it, we managed a humble
slideshow that we hope you'll enjoy. Most pictures of the
slideshow are taken from the French book "Le Livre du Pink
Floyd" and the pictures are said to be from "Lenoir". They
were shot on September 12th 1970, Paris, Fête de l'Humanité
(backstage and stage shots).
The daytime "no shirt" pictures are from a French unidentified
magazine and are from the Biot music festival (France), August
5th 1970. From that festival there is also the colour picture
of Nick Mason(source Rock'n'Folk magazine). The two stage
shots (tea break and sawing) are from Paris, théâtre des Champ-Elysées,
January 23rd 1970. Other pictures are from Ian Russel's excellent
book "In the Flesh" (page 82 ; Berlin, March 13th 1970) and,
last but not least, the other pictures are from the original
"The Dark Side of the Moon" song book (unidentified). The
"breakfast" shot is unidentified too, even if one can imagine
it was shot during the "Obscured by Clouds" recording sessions
in Hérouville in 1972.
As far as we know "Astronomy Domine" and "Cymbaline" are not
available. At the start of the "Cymbaline" soundcheck you
can hear David saying : (first part of the sentence is not
understandable). "Il n'est pas ici" then "Alors c'est pas
la peine de me filmer quand je joue la batterie parce que
le batteur n'est pas là", which means : "He isn't there" and
"So, no need to film me while I'm playing drums because the
drummer is not here".
