Pink Floyd/NY,USA 6.16.1975

Three CDs containing the complete 2 hours and 21 minutes of the June 16 performance at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in New York, which was held in the middle of the second North American tour in 1975, with a superb audience recording comparable to a line recording. The group title is now available. Not only is the sound quality incomparably better than the previous release, but the cheers between songs are longer than the previous release, and in addition, the previous release was divided between On The Run and Time. Unlike the original version, there is also the nice advantage of being able to listen to the second part of “Madness” uncut. The opening song, Raving And Drooling, is well-recorded, allowing you to enjoy the song’s aggressive mood-filled rhythmic repetition and the intense performances of the four members involved in it in their best sound. Raving And Drooling, which is sharp and solid, and full of power, and You Gotta Be Crazy, which exquisitely blends a cold feel and dull mood, are both worth listening to. Shine On You Crazy Diamond has also completed the recording of “Flame” at this time, and you can enjoy a highly controlled and complete performance. Gilmore’s improvisational play is also well determined, and you can see how well he is doing on this day. I just listen to the powerful vocal parts. Just as when everything goes well, everything goes well, and the saxophone playing, where you can hear the ideal performance from stillness to movement, is also a masterpiece. You can see that Gilmore is playing from the improvised intro of Have A Cigar. You can feel the band members playing with a sense of exhilaration in the strong groove they are creating. The synth lead in the first half of SOYCD Pt 6-9 is also recorded with great force. Roger also sings passionate emotional vocals in the second half (4:55-5:29). The jam part in the second half is also wonderful. The second part, “Madness,” is also a very excellent performance worthy of the name of a masterpiece. Gilmore’s stable vocals of “Madness” Speak To Me are reliable, and in On The Run, Rick manipulates the sequencer more radically than usual, exciting the listener. Gilmore was full of motivation on this day, and exploded with a noisy solo that I had never heard on Time, and showed off a rare moody vocal on Breathe (Reprise). Even the female chorus of The Great Gig In The Sky will be able to listen to the powerful vocals that are filled with enthusiasm on this day and make it a great excitement. In Gilmore’s guitar solo in the second half of Money, you can hear plenty of his unusual approach. In Any Color You Like, following Rick’s synth solo, the place where Gilmore appears with a tremendous sound is very cool, and Roger’s powerful base that leads the back is also a very nice touch. Following the interaction with the female chorus, there is a transition to a percussive jam part of four people including an organ, and the creative combination play of the four people that can be heard in this part is the most interesting part of the show. Brain Damage plays a long intro, and Roger also lets you listen to his unusual vocals throughout. Rick’s mistake at 3:29 is adorable. Eclipse also has great vocals that liven up the whole thing. Rick adds an original intro to the encore Echoes. Perhaps due to the quality of the recording, the performance is full of strange power, and you can hear the band’s wonderful ensemble play throughout. Gilmore’s guitar in the 8-11 minute range is amazing. The highly complete performance from the middle to the second half is nothing short of spectacular, and you can hear a supreme masterpiece in the part before the final song.
