Performance: A+
Overall: 5/5 iTunes
Simply a stunning bootleg, this one is amazing, After slogging my way thru the last review this was a pleasure for me to hear three classic tracks performed unbelievably well, great versions all round.
The sound quality is great, the tape hiss talked about in the original info, I couldn't even hear, maybe he has his speakers up really loud. The is one small cut out at the end of 'Careful with That Axe, Eugene' but it really is minor.
Get this ROIO, search it out, it is an absolute must for all true Floyd fans!
NOTE: There is another bootleg with the same name, you want the single disk one from 1972, I have the other one and I will review that also in the fullness of time.

Comments:
This seems to be hard to get, and that's a shame! The clear sound is only disturbed by some tape hiss. Very few crowd noise. "One Of These Days" is an absolute killer. The band was in a really fantastic mood this evening! For curiosity: "Echoes" is announced by Roger as: "Looking Through The Knotholes In Grannys Wooden Leg".
Recorded at Boblingen November 15th 1972, this reaches EX+ for sound tape source and packaging with notes on the show itself. This is a single CD (missing the Dark Side half of the show). -BD (#24)
I consider myself very lucky to have been able to get a copy of this one; I believe it may have been one of the first Floyd RoIOs to come out on CD. Other than some hiss (of the kind you stop noticing very quickly), the sound is very clear and full. All three tracks are good, but my favorite is CWTAE, with a first-rate 'mad Scotchman' act and some great screams by the inimitable Roger. My only quibble is how much more of the show they could've put on the disc, but better to leave off DSotM and keep these three tracks than the other way around... - MT
I picked this up for 14 and it was well worth it, even though there are only three songs on it. One of These Days is thunderingly good. Careful With That Axe Eugene far exceeds the studio version - Roger is ranting away into an echo-drenched microphone, and Echoes is pretty much flawless. there s no date given, but it doesn t have the echoes saxophone solo that was on the random precision roio, so it s presumably pre-Dark Side (?) There s a fade-out at the end of Eugene, before Echoes starts. It also says limited edition 2000 copies , but i wonder if this is true. DEFINITELY worth buying. - Seb.
