– Info –

Apart from the radio-sourced and incomplete recording that has been widely bootlegged since its very first broadcast, this one has surfaced as the best and most complete audience source so far and it came from the master cassette through a MiniDisc clone. Also, this is the last Pink Floyd performance of a very famed four-night run at the Rainbow Theatre early in their Eclipsed tour. Amongst all the circulating audience recordings from the four nights, this one probably has the best sound quality of all over them.

The long setlist wasn’t very usual for a concert of this tour because of a extended encore. The main set features what we would know in the following year as the Dark Side Of The Moon plus “One Of These Days” and “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” – the most usual for a 1972 concert. However, the audience kept asking for more and the band was kind enough to play more from their psychedelic era, resulting in a great 2-hour concert.

In despite of a overall great sound quality, this recording sadly suffers of several flaws in some parts which are native from the master tape. There’s a muffling during the 2nd verse of “Time” and from the very end of “Money” to the end of “Us And Them”. A slight decrease in the sounding quality happens from the half of “Eclipse” till the end of the recording, but nothing that makes it an unpleasant listening.

If you feel like improving this recording, feel completely free to remaster, patch, matrix or anything else that will make it REALLY sound better. I only beg you not to use a devil called “noise reduction”.
