'Hot Night In Plumpton' - 8th August 1969 - Plumpton Racetrack, Sussex, England

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

I am going to give the benefit of the doubt to the recorder on the most part here because I think that the sound on the show wasn't that great to begin with, the band seemed out of sorts and the volumes of the instruments were wrong and the vocals were muted, but the recording wasn't great though which made it worse.

By far the stand out track was 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun' which was absolutely great, so intense. The rest was pretty disappointing. Nothing else to really note so there is no track breakdown for this one, recording and sound issues persisted throughout and no other highlights.

Skip this one, I am still on the hunt for a good version of 'The Man and The Journey', I have a few more to find a gem in.

This is the complete show, reconstituted from the three best available sources:
- Tracks 01-07: low gen of recorder 1 shared by NeonKnight and LittlePieces; mono tracks converted to stereo.
- Tracks 08-11: "Race Track", 3rd gen of an unknown recorder shared by FloydWeeds.
- Track 12: "Plumpton Racecourse", a frankenshow shared by Goldenband; this track is from an unknown gen of recorder 2.
There is also a few seconds bridge from "Reeling in Pink Floyd CD sources" (recorder 2) between Tracks 07 and 08,
in order to have a clean transition between the two sources. Nothing else was changed from the original files.
