Quality:
  • Ex -HERWIG
  • Good-Excellent -BD (#23)
  • 7.5 -OSO
Comments: Hard to find this disc is another issue of the 17.2.72 concert in reasonably good quality although Best Of Tour 72 is better. The other 2 tracks are from the 1970 BBC session in pretty good quality. -BD (#23)


On The Run jam & Great Gig w/preachers. Time abridged at 3.33. Us & Them abridged at 2.18. A superset of "best of tour 72" (bot72 is better.) Mastering - vinyl. -OSO


This version of Dark Side is the 1972 version from before the studio album was released. Excellent sound quality, and a particularly good version of the pre-release On the Run; very jazzy. -ECM


HUNT THIS ONE DOWN WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!!! What a phenomenal performance, an absolute musical Picasso. This rendition of "Dark Side of the Moon" is completely different and just so refreshing because of its uniqueness. There are a few complaints however; a few lines missing from "time", "the great gig in the sky" is not likeable, and "us & them" is cut too short for my taste. But otherwise a very superb performance. "Atom heart mother" sounds like the studio version and "If" is not too shabby. This Roio MUST be had!
