Описание: Pink Floyd 1971-10-17 San Diego, 2nd gen (24bit/96kHz)
Convention Hall, Community Concourse, San Diego, California, USA
17 October 1971.
Stratcat58 cassette / Neonknight tape transfer, January 2017 (Yeeshkul).

Notes (Yeeshkul):

This is the third version of Gordon S's recording that I have released and it is once again an improvement on the copy that preceded it. One of the finest 1971 audience recordings, Gordon produced a brilliant record of the concert and stratcat58's tape is clearly lower gen than other versions.

I previously said that Gordon recorded on reel-to-reel and his master was lost. That the master is lost is still accepted but I now gather that Gordon used a C-120 cassette to tape the concert. As I mentioned before, Gordon advertised in Trouser Press magazine in the late 1970s and various collectors found him that way, so it’s always possible that more copies of the recording will surface. (...)

In its report about the concert the San Diego Union said: “The Community Concourse was turned into a space ship for two hours last night by English group Pink Floyd. Their music, as strange as their name, was an odd mixture of electronic effects, whispers, screams and breathy vocal intonations, which created a 2001 effect. The group showed great sensitivity for balance and continuity. Each set Floyd played created an overpowering feeling of weightlessly drifting in space. The music was uncluttered and flowing.” For more of this article see Glenn Povey’s Echoes book. (Neonknight - Yeeshkul).
