Comments: Taken from the original master reel recorded by a Japanese
person who visited San Francisco in 1972. This version has NEVER been
out before. 300 copies only, numbered edition. The artwork includes
a picture of the master reel-to-reel tape.

Lothaire aka Furry Animal:

My Comments:
The first disc is a recently unearthed show, though incomplete (Echoes
is missing and Careful has an inside cut of about 3 minutes probably
dued to tape flip) it sounds EX- and is really worth to get. Discs 2
and 3 are from the day after, a show that was already circulating but
this release is very low gen (maybe really from the master as the
Sirene dudes pretend it is). I haven't noticed an obvious noise
reduction or dehissing, though it won't be surprising for a Japanese
label. Still it is really worth to get, were it only because it's the
only version of 09-23 available for now.

For the ones fond of the 72 version of dark side, it has all the
typical elements of it: no background female singers, no sax, a nice
"travel sequence" (on the run jam) and already a piano Mortality
sequence (great gig in the sky) which is halfway between that early
funeral march (bah) and the great instrumental we all know, a Richard
composition in it's own right.

The Travel sequence from 09-24 begins at an unusual very fast pace,
David playing through the riff in a rush with one of the heaviest
distortion effect he ever used. Then Richard jumps in the train and
Nick keeps the fast rythm, almost lagging poor Roger :P Then the rythm
slows down a bit to the usual speed about the middle of the song. Will
I ever ben tired of listening to Any colour you like over and over
again and again? No, surely not... especially when it's a long,
jamming, groovy version like this one.

Disc 3, the second set of 09-24, has the usual echoes and careful. Not
bad versions at all but also nothing noteworthy. All in all I'd rate
the complete roio an 8/10. Great sound for a 72 recording, nice
performance, almost complete.
