Audience 8.6 - A clear tape that EXPLODES from your speakers…but maybe because that is because the levels are really hot (but next to no distortion!) and it makes for a ridiculously electric sounding show. It’s like, man, I am here, my ears are melting and my mind is blowing! Way better than the previously circulating high gen tape, this is from the master reels and it shows.

Audience 8.8 - A tape that should really be enjoyed by everyone even remotely interested in Pink Floyd. Pretty solid one, and a band playing with confidence after having worked out arrangements during the previous lengthy tour. Pink Floyd Trentham Gardens, Stoke-On-Trent Staffordshire, England November 19th 1974 CD1 1.-Raving and Drooling 2.-You Gotta Be Crazy 3.-Shine On You Crazy Diamond CD2 1.-Speak To Me 2.-Breathe 3.-On The Run 4.-Time 5.-Breathe (Reprise) 6.-The Great Gig In The Sky 7.-Money 8.-Us and Them 9.-Any Colour You Like 10.-Brain Damage 11.-Eclipse 12.-Echoes -
Audience 8.7 - Recorded with reel to reel tape machine, this is actually very good although it begins with some fluctuations as the tapers settle in. They do an admirable job throughout as the tape stabilizes, they comment here and there but keep it to a minimum, as is the crowd noise. So, it’s a relaxing and enjoyable experience, the band sounding like they are not willing to sell out just yet as their set is not necessarily a top 40 showcase which is good actually. Some hits, but a lot of deep and meaningful music.

FM Broadcast 9.0 - A tape that seems to be intact but missing a little of the sharpness and attack of a low gen or master which just means you crank it a little louder. It’s all there, the quality is there, but needs your input to get it up to loudness. Performance is cracking!

FM Broadcast 8.9 - A decent tape that seems a gen or two down but it has a pleasant warmth and is pretty clean otherwise. I am reminded of the amazing dexterity and feel that Lowell George displays especially when it comes to his slide work…impeccable!

Soundboard 9.5 and Audience 7.8 - Well, there you have it. You go from first to worst, thankfully most of the show is the board tape which is stellar. For the sake of completeness, the not so great audience source fills in the missing bits and I for one don’t mind that at all. I’d rather have the whole show.

Soundboard 8.8 - A little tiny bit of muddiness in the middle frequencies as drums fight for bandwidth with the vocals and guitars, a real battle for supremacy…but man, the guitar jams these guys get into wow!

Soundboard 8.9 - Great performance here, one of the best I have heard quite frankly. Having just ditched the classic line up, you would think a downturn in performance caliber would occur but I do not get that here at all.
