1974-11-16 Empire Pool, Wembley, London Sigma6 silver>EAC>FLAC The following was borrowed from the following link: http://www.pf-roio.de/roio/roio-cd/brain_damage.cd.html Format: CD Catalog: Sigma 6 DSM-1972 Misc.: Special collectors series. Thanks to no. 6 Produced: 1989 Digital Junkie, Made in Japan (The pink (!) CD itself says (c)1985 -PIET) Date: 741116 Cover: Picture of Floyd outside Rainbow Theatre doing a 'sieg heil' greeting. Sources: 16 Nov 1974, London. Tracks: 1. Speak To Me 2:30 2. Breathe 2:49 3. On The Run 5:07 4. Time 5:27 Breathe (Reprise) 1:02 6:29 5. The Great Gig In The Sky 6:49 6. Money 7:49 7. Us And Them 7:51 8. Any Colour You Like 7:33 9. Brain Damage 3:42 10. Eclipse 1:58 Total: 52:39 Cover claims that this is from London 1972, but it is from a BBC broadcast of the concert at Empire Pool, Wembley, London at 16 Nov 1974. The speaking at the begining of Speak To Me, saying; "I've been mad for fucking years...." a couple of times, is present as oposed to a vinyl version I've heard where this was edited away (censored by BBC ?) On this CD sound quality and packaging are excellent, yet the date suggested is out by two years: the catalogue number indicates Dark Side from 1972, but it's actually the Radio 1 broadcast of part of Floyd's November 16 '74 Wembely Arena gig. After a little tape hiss during the opening heart-beats, the recording is excellent quality stereo. "I've been mad for fucking years" comes out loud and clear - I bet BBC loved that! On The Run has some quite startling stereo effects, Any Colour You like is nicely improvised and Eclipse ends with loud applause and what sounds like gongs banging away. All in all, a very nice recording of a vintage performance and a slice of nostalgia for we older fans who remember taping the original FM broadcast in '75. The front of the insert is from the same sesion as the Italian 'Piper' cover, except the boys are giving Nazi salutes - it would have been interesting if the press had seen this when Mr Waters played in Berlin. The rear insert of the (jewel-box) CD case is a 1972 promo shot. |
