Here is the story with this release. Back in late 1987 or early 1988 I aquired a vinyl bootleg called Roger Chaos - Radio WTRS. I wanted to identify the show so I could find a better copy in the digtal world. The record had no indication of the venue and date. The songs on the 2 record set were separated by silence (banded) and all indicators of where the show was recorded were removed. No calls from the hall, no interaction of Roger with the audience and it was missing some of the songs. The track listing was not correct on the cover either. For many years any hope of identifying the venue and date were thought to be hopeless. Fast forward to 2008. I broke down and bought a replacement cartridge for my turntable and transferred the record to the PC. As I was was removing the surface noise and pops/crackles I discovered there was something unique about the recording which in the end made it possible to identify the venue and date. First of all I discovered that the song 5:01 AM (The Pros And Cons of Hitch Hiking) was only played during the first 14 of the KOAS shows. Paul Carrack sang the song on the first 4 dates and Waters sang it the last 10 times it was played. Waters sang the song on my record so that meant I really only had to compare my record to 10 shows. One of the problems with this is 2 of the 10 shows are thought to have not been recorded, 1987-08-10 and 1987-08-20. The second unique thing about this recording is that the song 5:01 AM (The Pros And Cons of Hitch Hiking) also starts out different than what I had been comparing it to. On my record the bass drum beats 29 times before the band starts playing. So as I began to compare the 8 shows that existed I discovered that the bass drum would beat 5 times before the band would start on the vast majority of the shows. Then I found the 1987-09-05 show has a 14 beat beginning. I figured it had to be the following night 1987-09-06 because no other show before the 5th was even close.. BINGO perfect match. Even the guitar solos in all the songs I compared matched up. Success. I have finally found the date the record was made from. When I first found the SHN files for this date they were 2 huge SHN files. The songs weren't tracked. At first glance I thought I had found a complete recording to replace my vinyl. BUT this SHN version while it contained most of the show it was missing the last 4 songs. I had 3 of the 4 missing songs on my record strangely enough. The sound quality of the record is slightly more muffled than the SHN copy. Using a little EQ with Adobe Audition brings the vinyl close to the SHN source. So what we have here in this release is the original copy that was traded in SHN, the songs are tracked now with the vinyl merged in about 8 seconds into the song Four Minutes and used for the remainder of the concert. The only song missing from this show now is The Tide Is Turning. The song fades out as it starts on my record so unless the taper or someone with the whole show releases it, this is is the best and most complete copy of the show I am aware of. overall: VG / VG+ 01 Radio Waves 02 Welcome To The Machine 03 Who Needs Information 04 Money 05 Professional Bimbo School 06 In The Flesh 07 Have A Cigar 08 Pigs (3 Different Ones) 09 Wish You Were Here 10 Mother 11 Molly's Song 12 Me Or Him 13 The Powers That Be – cut in intro before song 14 Sunset Strip 15 Fish Report With A Beat 16 5:01 AM (The Pros And Cons of Hitch Hiking) 17 Arnold Lane 18 If 19 5:06 AM (Every Strangers Eyes) 20 Not Now John 21 Another Brick In The Wall – part 1 22 The Happiest Days Of Our Lives 23 Another Brick In The Wall – part 2 24 Nobody Home 25 Home 26 Four Minutes – merged with vinyl source around 8 seconds into track 27 The Tide Is Turning - fades out just as it begins - from vinyl source 28 Brain Damage - from vinyl source 29 Eclipse - from vinyl source 00 Brain Damage - first minute of vinyl before clean up.. WOW notes: formerly mislabeled as 1987 November 09 - The Civic Center, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Waters clearly mentions Ohio during the show. MANY thanks to who ever it was that released the SHN version into the wild. Without it the Floyd community would not know where the Vinyl copy was recorded. Now I only hope this sparks someone with the complete version to release it. TacoBurrito March 2008 Released first on EchoesHub (info found at http://tornnfrayed.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html)
