'Messin The The Blues' July 27th 1968 - Shrine Exposition Hall - Los Angeles, CA

Sound Quality: B+
Performance: B-
Overall: 2/5 Storage

This was a short set from the Floyd, just a couple of songs dated from about 6 months after Syd 'left' the band and Dave took over all the guitar duties. 

This one is for the improv hounds out there, 'Interstellar Overdrive' follows the usual trend of beginning, improvisation and end where as 'A Saucerful Of Secrets' is pretty much improvisation all the way thru until the end section.

'Interstellar Overdrive' is a good rendition and the sound quality is good, I enjoyed this track and it was also slightly longer than usual clocking in at around 15 minutes.

'ASOS' on the hand wasn't as good quality, or maybe just because it was a lot quieter then the full on assault to the senses of the previous track. The familiar drum section a little ways in was really low volume and short which is a shame because I like this part. The vocal line at the end was also a little bit low and there was a background hiss to the track was was noticeable.

If you like the the early improvised stuff then this is worth checking out for the first track but not a keep for me.

creamcheese additional info:

I speed corrected this one, it ran about 25 cents slow. I tuned the first organ chord of celestial voices to B and took that pitch change for IO aswell so it was tuned exactly to E. I did a little EQing, just to pull away the curtain before the music.
