Description
The San Diego performance on April 21, which took place just before the final LA 5 Days from the first North American tour in 1975, is completely recorded and first released with a high-quality audience recording. Although it does not reach the sound of the LA performance recorded by Miller, the full picture of the rare 1975 San Diego performance, which can be heard with a high-quality sound with plenty of sound pressure, is definitely a must-have for all Floyd collectors. There is a take of the 2nd Gen. among collectors for this performance, but this board contains a master quality version of this performance, which can be said to be the best in history. It is recorded with a unique sound image with a thick and large scale that is attractive in the mid-low range, and the sound image is surprisingly stable throughout, reproducing the whole picture of the concert with high-quality sound for 2 hours and 18 minutes. Following the 2 minutes 15 seconds sound check, Raving And Drooling starts, where the intense repetitive rhythm overwhelms the listener with Roger’s voice “OK! Here we go”. Roger’s bass creates a unique groove, and the overlapping of a bizarre ensemble that cannot be described in any way is a masterpiece. Rick’s synth solo at the 4-minute mark also overwhelms the listener with its outstanding sound and melody. In You Gotta Be Crazy, Gilmour’s vocal melody, which seems to be still exploring, is fresh. In this song, the good sound of the bass and drums catches the ear. The sustained guitar solo that appears twice at 3 minutes 50 seconds and 5 minutes 30 seconds creates a cool and tense climax. Roger’s theatrical vocals in the second half, the calm bass play, and the song development are also wonderful, allowing you to enjoy a dignified climax. Following the sound check, Roger’s MC, “A song about Syd Barrett,” comes in, and you can listen to a SOYCD with an arrangement close to the final one included in “Flame” to be released in September of the same year. At the 3 minute mark, a string synth sustains, but perhaps the guitar wasn’t ready for the 4 notes, and the sustain continues endlessly, making for a rare take. Guilmore’s edgy solo from the 5 minute mark is a brilliant performance with a strong intonation, and the free-form improvisation is well done, greatly moving the listener. The second long solo at the 7-8 minute mark also features a sobbing performance, and you can hear a unique and effective performance. There is no saxophone playing, and the part from the 11th minute to the 13th minute where the guitar arpeggios and rhythms create a stoic sound drama is also a must-listen. Have A Cigar features a unique and sticky ensemble. At the 2 minute mark, the riff is repeated longer than usual. The hard rock-style solo at the latter half of the 3 minute mark is also a unique listen. At the 5 minute mark, the performance transition becomes questionable, but the song continues on to the second half of SOYCD. Rick’s eerie brass synth and Gilmour’s tricky playing are intertwined, making for a tense performance. The second part, “Madness,” starts with a 5 minute 30 second Speak to me. The vocal part, which follows Gilmour’s light playing as if he has relaxed his shoulders in Breathe, also has a stable singing voice. Roger’s bass is recorded on a large scale, creating a sound image that is worth listening to. Time and Breathe (reprise) also have Gilmour’s very stable singing voice. The sound becomes a little distant in the middle part where he plays the slide play with a dirty tone. The piano sounds clear in The Great Gig In The Sky, and the female chorus singing is also powerful. Roger’s bass, which plays scales freely in all directions, is also captured loudly. Money has a powerful saxophone solo in the middle, and Gilmour’s freaky long solo that seems to be evoked by it is the best, and you can hear the tense play until the end of the long solo, and the sound quality is good, making it a track that is worth listening to. Us And Them, which can be listened to carefully, and Any Colour You Like, which allows you to enjoy a phantasmagoric ensemble, are the best performances in terms of both content and sound quality. The last Brain Damage is also recorded with a great sound, but Eclipse is not recorded due to the master’s tape being out. Echoes’ vocal parts, such as the chorus, are sometimes good and sometimes bad at this time, but on this day, they are very good, serious and stable singing. Gilmore’s eerie slide play in the first half and the seagull tone play have good sound quality, so you can enjoy a powerful performance. The overall pitch has also been corrected. This is the long-awaited one for fans, which contains the first appearance of the San Diego performance from the 1975 US tour.
