***NOTES FROM TEZETA***
This excellent performance came around a couple years ago, as result of a remastered version of a concert supposedly from this date/location I uploaded. rolly69 then announced that they had a genuine recording from this date and summarily shared it with us.
It is a pretty rough recording, but as good as we could hope for really with a dictation-type audience recorder from this era. Performance-wise, I consider it a priceless live document of Floyd mk. 1970. Each tune is performed with remarkable confidence and ease, and the audience is quite receptive as well. It is shame how some tracks are abridged, but what was captured is nonetheless fantastic.
My work on this mainly consisted of speed correction and editing out obtrusive audience noises, dropouts, and recorder sounds at the tracks' starts/ends. "Astronomy" had many such noises and dropouts during the organ intro, as did "Cymbaline" during the footsteps section, most of which I removed to the best of my ability.
The most significant edit is in "Cymbaline", just after the footsteps section. The recording drops greatly in volume when the band resumes, and when the volume picks up again, the recordist is clapping with microphone in hand, which results in a series of annoyingly loud bumps. Thus, I faded the end of the footsteps section directly into the bass figure leading into the verse.
The other significant edits were making the tuneup sections seperate tracks, and patching a brief dropout in the latter, instrumental section of "Astronomy" with some of the bars preceding.
The speed was slow overall and varied from track to track, as there are cuts between nearly every tune. I dealt with the speed on a track-by-track basis and was mostly successful with flat adjustment values.
"Careful..." had some brief but significant drops in tape speed during its first half, which I tackled with Reaper's stretch marker tool for sliding pitch shifts. There were other drops in speed during the recording, but they were too subtle to be addressed.
All speed adjustments and edits were done with Reaper 5.17 and Elastique 3.1.4 Pro, after decode to wav and DC bias adjustment in Adobe Audition 3. The final tracks were exported as 16bit-48khz FLAC.
I will make a CD-compatible version of this by request.
My utmost thanks go out to rolly in this for preserving and sharing this invaluable live Floyd document for the community. Without great people like them, we'd understand so much less about the Floyd's incredible development as a live act. (Yeeshkul)
