The Digital Dan Review: An incredible audience show from the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California on April 26, 1975. This is the complete master tape source, so complete that you here the taper testing the mics as the show starts. The sound is nothing short of astounding. Incredibly clear and quite devoid of almost any fan noise. The bass is well captured, deep and powerful with no distortion whatsoever. The highs are also very crisp and not the least bit of harshness. In other words, the mix is just about perfect as if it were a soundboard.
There are a few things that make this recording truly unique. First, the pre-release versions of Sheep (Raving and Drooling) and Dogs (You Gotta Be Crazy). Raving and Drooling is much
different instrumentally during the jam sections than is the album version, including some rhythm guitar that sounds like disco-funk! The lyrics to You Gotta Be Crazy are quite different from the album version of Dogs. Even Roger calls it a rather "mean" song. "Any Colour You Like" is the great jam version and this is the last tour with performances of "Echoes" in its entirety. All and all this recording is absolutely amazing for its age and one that you will definitely want in your collection.

Thank you very much for the Floyd.
This is one of the first Pink Floyd boots that I have in my collection. IMHO, this rates with Animal Instincts and other highly rated Pink Floyd shows.

Same as Cruel But Fair to me - which means outstanding - but much faster.
Thanks and cheers

Thank you for this great document of the Millard captured Floyd.
You weren't kidding this sounds great! Thanks for all these amazing recordings.
If you happen to have any more Tangerine Dream and feel like sharing it, I would not have any objections to that.
Pretty much the same as Cruel But Fair.But I find that the DSotM portion sounds better on this boot.
Cheers!
the links doesn't works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the speed corrected version of this boot? Thanks for posting!
Rapidshare links work fine. Great sound and show. Is it me or is "You've Got To Be Crazy," a very early version, slower than it would become only a couple of months later? Thanks Dave!
