Performance: A-
Overall: 4/5
Another soundboard recording so no audience noise and just a couple of recording blips makes this sound great, although missing audience noise knocks it down a peg or two for me.
Some great performances by the band but others are fairly standard, highlights are many (see track breakdown) but for me, 'A Saucerful Of Secrets' is the best track a great example of this song, a nice level of improvisation with a nice rounded and balanced sound.
Track breakdown...
Astronomy Domine: Sounds like a very small cut just before the vocals begin, it’s a blip for sure, could be in the show but I doubt it.
Fairly standard performance for this time period, well done though.
Careful With That Axe, Eugene: Good rendition but the transition from quiet to full out blitz is a slow build up, it gets louder and louder so there really isn't that explosion. To me this causes the song to lose a little bite, still nice work though.
Cymbaline: Nice version, sounds effects are clear good sound, really liked it.
A Saucerful Of Secrets: Nice version, I really like the fade out to nothing and the slow build back up and the keyboard solo at the beginning of the 'Celestial Voices' section.
The Embryo: Fairly ordinary version, Ricks keyboards running with the whale noises is back.
Interstellar Overdrive: About half way in there is a recording blip again, does not last long but still annoying as hell. This is a real spacey version, a few different phases, really liked it.
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun: Another spaced out version, really mellow, suits my current mood. ;-)
Atom Heart Mother: No other musicians - YES! Ladies and gentlemen I give Jazz that is relevant! LOL, I know Rick was especially into Jazz. This song has a very Jazz feel, not Jazzy, but the same kind of feel. I liked this rendition, maybe it is just my mood again. (As you can tell I am not a Jazz fan. )
This is one to grab if you like this era, well worth the effort.

Great sound, everything comes through really clear, and there's no extraneous noise/chatter near the taper in the audience, to interfere with the listening experience.
I'd definitely feel comfortable rating this show as an A.
Their earlier tours (pre-Eclipsed) tend to get glossed over a little, since the material they performed isn't as legendary as their later works, which is a shame because these shows were just as tight and solid as the ones they did for The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals.
