Pink Floyd/Netherlands 1968

The event held in Utrecht, Netherlands on December 28, 1968 is recorded as a monaural audience recording that can be said to be quite good at the time. A rare live performance that has never been made into a record has appeared! This event called Flight To Lowlands Paradise (it seems like there’s a ? at the end because it’s the second time) is one of the oldest pop festivals in the Netherlands (the first was in 1967), and the name still changes today. It seems to be continuing. In 1968, when Floyd performed, it seems that the Jimi Hendrix Experience was originally scheduled to perform as the centerpiece, and if you look at the posters, flyers, and other confirmable materials from that time, it is true that the words PINK FLOYD were not there. , Jimi Hendrix is ​​widely praised. The event itself was postponed from the end of November to the end of December in order for Jimi to appear, but in the end Jimi’s appearance did not materialize (and Jeff Beck Group and Jethro Tull, who were originally scheduled to appear, also canceled), so Floyd It looks like he was cast as a substitute. Since this is an event, the setlist is compact, lasting just under 50 minutes, but it can be said that Floyd’s charm is more than condensed, with songs from the album “Mystery” released in the same year and songs that are standard at live performances. . There are multiple titles among traders that use the same source but have slightly different live start lengths and sound quality, but this time we used the sound source that is said to be Lowgen. The gap noise that was mixed in the original sound source was corrected and removed, and the high pitch was adjusted. Hiss is noticeable in terms of sound quality, but the performance is close and the tape is fresh, and the sound source from 1968 has surprisingly few extraneous sounds.
