| Tech Note | This is from a 2007 bootleg consisting of radio performances on 8/9/69, 5/12/69, and 6/25/68. All three shows fit on the same CD. According to a review at boot-review.com:
"The first four songs come from a recently surfaced soundboard tape of a recording made of Pink Floyd at the Paradiso in Amsterdam on August 9, 1969. The band's set was professionally recorded with the intention of broadcast on Hilversum 3 Radio. When this tape first surfaced it was said there was a malfunction with the microphone for the vocals and the band were forced to play the songs as instrumentals. This isn't exactly accurate because Waters does still sing in Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Careful With That Axe, Eugene, and in the latter part of A Saucerful Of Secrets. The vocals are present but barely audible.
"Neither the audience nor the band seems to notice this and it leads one to the conclusion that the band's PA wasn't malfunctioning but the radio station's equipment was. Since the tape was unusable for the radio, Pink Floyd returned to Amsterdam the following month and be recorded by Hilversum 3 again on September 17th at the Concertgebouw, the famous The Man And The Journey tape."
