Quality:
  • Ex++ -PELLE
Comments: This record shows a very good quality (DAT source ??): a)Sound: high stereo spatiality, all voices and instruments are clearly distinguishable, very low hiss noise (almost absent); b)Performance: also quite good (solo in "Time", "Gig In The Sky", "Money", "Welcome To The Machine", "Wish You Were Here"); all the songs have slightly different arrangement from DSOT or 87-88 period. Unfortunately, there are some little flaws to notice: -Audience is sometimes too present, shouting, singing or clapping all the time (Disk 1 and ABITW), a little strange for an Italian audience. -"Money" is divided in two parts; since the record does not follow the concert set, not other chance to arrange the tracks in a different way -"Confortably Numb" solo is interrupted suddenly just in the middle for few seconds (you can listen only acustic guitar still playing), due to a temporary amp-blackout. -The package is poor; no timing and some mistake in the titles ("Another Breck..", "The Greagic..."). In conclusion, a good set enjoable to listen to, and it well worths the expense. I recommend it for sure.-PELLE
