Pink Floyd - 21st November 1970 (Live at Montreux) - Definitive Edition

Описание: A fantastic quality date, yet also very confusing in terms of how it all comes together. Here I have compiled the best quality sources for each song currently, making it the best version on YouTube! I hope you all enjoy this bootleg, and if you have any requests (years, eras, specific dates, etc.) let me know and I will try to upload it!

11:07 Fat Old Sun (Recorder 1)
25:04 Cymbaline (Recorder 1)
37:13 Atom Heart Mother (From the 1970 DEVIA/TION Early Years Box Set: Sourced from RTS Archives also)

Difference between RTS Archives and RTS Radio Broadcast:

RTS Archives is directly from the French Radio Broadcaster, either on the website (Astronomy Domine) or officially released through Pink Floyd (Atom Heart Mother). The Radio Broadcast, also known as Recorder 2 for this date, is simply an off-air recording of the RTS Radio Broadcast, making it inferior to the Archives and Recorder 1 but still a great source regardless with the SBD qualities it contains.

Recorder 1:

Recorder 1 is by Victor, who has shared his master reels online. His transfer is as follows:

Victor's 2009 transfer: 2 x Sennheiser MD-421 to Uher 4200 reel recorded at 19 ips to Audio CD to EAC to FLAC

Here is what Victor had to say about the experience:

"I had my UHER "custom unbuilt" in multiple parts, so I could sneek it in more discretely. Then I built a whole "neck-holder" (like the ones Bob Dylan'd use to hold the harp), a heavy construction sewed in a tough-tissued jacked (often way to hot to bear at concerts...) and the two mics were placed niftily beside each ear hidden by the dutiful long hear.

Since we had both a Revox at home that can take the big reels as opposed to the UHER which can only take 13 cm spools and one big reel can hold up to 3 (or 4) small spools, we always recorded on the UHER Side 1 of spool A, and then Side 1 of Spool B and then Side 1 of Spool C and then Side 1 of spool D and then continued the recordings (either he or me) continuously on Side 2 of Spool D and then Side 2 of Spool C and then Side 2 of Spool B and then Side 2 of Spool A. When all spools were full, we scotched them together on one big reel... We never wasted expensive tape to copy onto. Especially since we're really buddies (from childhood), if either one of us wanted to listen to the tape, he'd have it, no problem. So why bother copy (except excerpts on cassette)?"

The transfers required Victor to do some repairs to his reel deck and bake the tapes, which he said took him about three days.


It's a shame that the whole show hasn't been released in the same quality as Atom Heart Mother yet :( Maybe one day.

Enjoy this great date! And Have fun listening :)
