OU: This is the notoriously unlistenable 2nd Set of the Colmar 1974 show. Unlistenable because all versions circulating suffer from horrible speed fluctuations due to dying batteries. All versions except this one, which }{eywood actually managed to correct in such a way that it's become listenable. No mean feat. It's been transferred at relative high volume and it's low end heavy, plus there are traces of noise reduction and still a few speed fluctuations present.
The recorder gets fumbled with in spots resulting in muffling of the sound, mic problems, a few skips and dropouts but the recording is pretty good, I'd give it a VG+. Someone who attended the show confirmed Careful With That Axe, Eugene being played as encore but it's not been recorded for obvious reasons.
The track by track speed correction process induced small digital gaps at the track transitions (also known as index clicks) and there were two digital gaps during songs, one during Us And Them and another during Any Colour You Like.
I corrected those. }{eywood should be given all credit however as he's the one who's put all the work into this, all the time I've spent with it is about an hour or so.

}{eywood's original comments: This is set 2 of the notorious Colmar gig that speeds up throughout, presumably due to the taper's batteries dying at the gig. The source for this was a low generation cassette that I traded for in the early 90s and held on to even though it was unlistenable. About 5 years ago I finally digitized it and speed corrected it by tuning sections of it to my son's bass guitar. This is not the Harvested source. Because it's from a tape I can't swear it sports the same quality as the other versions floating around, but I was asked to seed it so here it is. The speed is still not 100% perfect, but its quite listenable.
