Comments: For a huge number of comments, see the 'original' entry.


I believe my disc's were produced by someone else. Each disc says Front Row Center, Not For Sale. Show # (P1-P6) For Radio Play Only. "This broadcast is for one time use by stations cleared by FRC on the designated date and time prearranged in writing. This disc is the property of FRC and must be returned after use." My box set was not numbered. Excellent book, cheap box.


All disc's have "IFPI LBGI" and a bar code.


Overall I would have to give it a VG. At times it pushes a VG+. The problem I have is the hiss, especially with the 1975 show. I think the stereo separation could have been better with the 1975 show. The hiss seems to be reduced with each show. Excellent Echoes for 1975. (I'm still looking for the definitive 75 show.) The 1977 show is good, but the crowd is really wild and rude. They piss Roger off during POTW and US and Them. More crowd noise for the 1977 show. The Wall show was actually better than I heard on a previous time. Originally I thought it was as bad as the rehearsals, but it is much better than that (Still not as good as Behind the Wall). These shows reflect a great period for Floyd, too bad I didn't catch them live. Unfortunately, I would have preferred less hiss! for this era. I can't complain though, I traded for the set. For me it was worth it. - JZ
