Any Pink Floyd experts out there?

[Cygnus x-1]

Many years ago I recorded off the Tommy Vance Friday Rock show a cassette (remember them?) of Pink Floyd playing Dark side off the Moon from the early/mid 70's, bloody excellent it was IMO.

Can anybody remember this or knows what date /venue this was from?

I bought the 2011 remaster of DSOTM with the live version on disc 2 thinking this maybe the same show, now i'm not sure it is, anybody help?

cheers, Nick

I'm afraid I can't help, but on a similar subject (if you don't mind me piggy-backing your thread too)

- I'd love to track down the broadcast quality release of Pink Floyd, Live in Venice in 1989. It was originally shown as a TV broadcast - but i'd do anything to hear a stereo version that isn't all gnarly like my old videos were!

Maybe a Pink Floyd expert could help us out with both requests.

Ask this chap, i used to play in a band with him and the amount of Floyd bootlegs and stuff he has is quite ridiculous.
He probably has the original mixdown tapes of what you guys are looking for.

Was it the 'Live in Pompeii' thing they did??

I downloaded Live in Venice from Youtube, which is now on my ipod. Also got a version of the DSOTM original tour. Dont if that would be the right version. But they're both on youtube,

To answer the OP, the show (a performance from November 1974 at the Empire Pool, Wembley - 16th Nov I think) on the new DSOTM issue was broadcast on the Tommy Vance show. However on the disc it has been 'spruced up' a bit compared to the BBC broadcast. I had that broadcast on cassette for years (think I wore it out in the end).

1973 Earls Court, I was there & can probably dig out some more details, if I can get my brain to work again I have a bootleg, Tour 73 bought from Roger & Dave in the foyer! Those concerts were the first DSOM in full & where the recordings were made IIRC.

We had a coach *TRIP* from our local pub, about 50 of us went, can't remember quite how many came home but it was most excellent

This is the one I heard on Tommy Vance show (I even remember him saying he was waiting for clearance to play Echoes from the same show) & this is the one that's on the new disc.

I might have been there (not sure about which night I went - I think they did several in a row(?)). Great concert, but for me the highlight was Echoes rather than DSOTM. They also played a couple of tracks nobody had heard before off the forthcoming album - including Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
