'PRAGUE' - September 7th, 1994 - Praha, Czech Republic.


Sound Quality: A
Performance: B+
Overall: 3

Great sounding bootleg but that seems to be common on the 1994 tour. Some annoying crowd stuff, chatting during some of the songs, the quite bits of course, do these folks think the band can here them??? The only slightly bad point from a recording standpoint is during the vocals on 'Comfortably Numb' they seem to pulse, maybe its from the corwd swaying or something, its easy to pick up but doesn't spolit it too much and it does happen during the solo, thankfully!

Performance was pretty good, really nice solos on 'Comfortably Numb' and 'On The Turning Away' which were my highlights, trackbown is pretty slim because not much out of the norm happend and no other recording issues to note.

Track breakdown...

Learning To Fly: Some variation on the second guitar solo, nice.

One Of These Days: A little chatter during the song.

High Hopes: More chatter but it is less loud

Great Gig In The Sky: Really mellow sax solo to open the track. Nice wailing from the backing vocalists

Wish You Were Here: Clapping to begin and one guy starts singing, not too loud but audible. Excuse you for paying a ticket. ;-)

Money: Sounds like a technical hitch, the music starts pretty early in the sound effects and then stops after a couple of bars then starts back up a minute or so later, not sure if someone missed a cue or if there was a problem but it is no big deal and doesn't spoil the start too much.

Comfortably Numb: The last 3 minutes almost are the audience clapping and one guy keep saying what sounds like 'eh' but not a question, like 'yeah', might be a Czech thing.

Overall, pick it up if you find it but no need to go looking for it, there are better shows from this tour.
