December 5, 1972 - Vorst Nationaal, Brussels, Belgium
This is a speed corrected version of PF-OPUS-5-Vorst-Nationaal-Brussels-1972-12-05. No other processing has been done. The 1st set ran 25 cents sharp. The 2nd set ran 106 cents flat.
This is speculation but the speed of the 2nd set being almost a half step off along with notes that speak of mastering work suggest this was likely already processed with speed correction. A little inaccurately for the 1st set and inaccurate plus a whole key off for the 2nd set. The notes in question:
"So here is my copy of that concert, taken from a CD-ROM digitalised and remastered from the original tape by its maker in 1999." "SOUNDSCAPE mastering 1999"
I believe the lineage would now be something like: Uher Report Stereo tape recorder and AKG microphones -> CD-ROM -> SOUNDSCAPE mastering -> Speed correction with Serato in ProtoolsHD -> FLAC (level 8 with internal checksums and tags)
Here are the original notes from "PF-OPUS-5-Vorst-Nationaal-Brussels-1972-12-05":
Over a decade ago I met a man who sold me a bootleg of (The) Dark Side Of The Moon, recorded by him on the 5th of December 1972 in Vorst Nationaal ñ Forest National Brussels.
Most Pink Floyd biographies have it wrong when they state that Pink Floyd gave two shows in - what they call Vorst Nationaal Sportpaleis Brussels- on the fifth and the sixth as these are *two* separate halls, Vorst Nationaal is in Brussels and Sportpaleis is in Antwerp.
There is also confusion about the ROIOs of this show or shows, even on Yeeshkul. It already starts with the Cucamonga radio show that broadcast two tracks of this concert, coming from the same man who sold me the CD six years earlier.
So once and for all, Pink Floyd gigged in Brussels on the fifth in Vorst Nationaal / Forest National and the day later in Antwerp at the Sportpaleis, there is no such concert hall as Vorst Nationaal Sportpaleis (and there never will be).
Now about the tape (taken from the bootlegger aka OPUS 5)
QUOTE: The original recording was made with a Uher Report Stereo tape recorder and AKG microphones. I sold dozens of these tapes (4-track and 9.5 cm / sec stereo) via the pub circuit in Mechelen ("Verloren Zoon", "Golem"). I refused to deliver on compact cassette because the quality was too bad in those days. However, I know that someone in Antwerp copied my tape on compact cassettes and sold these as well although they were poor in quality.
The boss of the Golem pub told me one day that an Englishman had bought one of my tapes to press them on vinyl. END QUOTE
I've never came across this vinyl version, but I do know that the concert had been circulating on compact cassette in the days when the internet didn't exist.
So here is my copy of that concert, taken from a CD-ROM digitalised and remastered from the original tape by its maker in 1999.

Many many thanks for this one Dave!!
Greetings from Belgium

My copy of "PF-OPUS-5-Vorst-Nationaal-Brussels-1972-12-05" has a note.txt attached saying "may be 1972-12-02"
I don't vouch for the accuracy of that note but thought it might be of interest. Fingals Cave says shows for 1972-12-02 are mislabelled 1972-12-05 anyway so the 5th does look more likely.
Instead of singing "You missed the starting gun" before the solo, Rick sings "Thought I'd something more to say" ! Did he botch the lyrics or is this the earliest prototype of "Time"? I have lots of early stuff, but never heard them sing it like that before.
Thabks as always, Dave!
Sweet; no doubt. Check it.
They take a step back from their Dark Side of the Hollywood Bowl; strange being 3 months later.
Weird warberling noise during Breathe
Childhood's End is wild.
Thanks Dave.

Those strange sounds during Breathe definitely sound like bogus to me - as if added by someone later on, and not being played by the original Floyd on that day.
Remember this has happened before, e.g. Bootleg lp Around the Mystic.
