Pink Floyd: Hollywood Bowl 1972 (Recorders 1 & 2) shn

Date:September 22nd, 1972
RoIO: "Damn Braces, Bless Relaxes" - Sirene-060
Venue:Hollywood Bowl
Place:Hollywood, CA, USA

Lineage ->Original Factory Pressed (4) Silver CDS & (1) DVD - Sirene-060
Disc 1 & 2 - Rec. 2, Disc 3 & 4 - Rec. 1
& Bonus NTSC DVD - 8mm Footage presents fragments of the concert filmed from the audience. It is dark, fuzzy and out of sync with the music. None of the songs are presented complete. The people by the camera talk too much at the beginning of the show, making the observation that the stage looks like a spaceship. But given the scarcity of such material it’s good enough and captures some very dramatic images like the dark and smoky stage during “Echoes” and the above mentioned fireworks display. (NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT IS CRAP)

Description:Limited Collectors Edition Set of Pink Floyd`s Super Fantastic
Hollywood Bowl Show from `72!

Discs (1) and (2) utilize the second recording(Rec.2). This is a complete, excellent, dynamic tape from the audience. It most recently appeared on Crackers on the Zeus label. The only weakness with the Zeus release is the bass which had a lot of rumble and distortion present. The worst is in “One Of These Days” where the bass overloaded the rest of the music and made the track almost unlistenable. Sirene, by comparison, have tackled this issue by smoothing the bass line and diminishing its volume. “One Of These Days” on this new release doesn’t have the problems on the Zeus and sounds phenomenal. It’s clear and powerful and one of the most effective versions captured on tape.

Discs (3) and (4) contain the first tape(Rec.1), the one that surfaced many years ago and is the source for the famous three LP set Crackers on TARKL(3969). It differs from the first tape source by emphasizing the top end, not having any significant dropouts or cuts, and by not being complete. This taper missed the opening of the show and ”Breathe” was edited from a soundboard from the February 20th Rainbow show. Sirene were able to find a virgin copy of the LP since there really is no evidence of its origin.
