Notes:
Last performance of Cymbaline, ever.
Last performance and longest version of The Embryo ever recorded.
End of Echoes and Encore Blues only present in source 2. Lower fidelity in this segment.
Some CWTAE-type screaches during Embryo.
Bird chirping during quiet keyboards and lyrics of Fat Old Sun.
Baby cries at the beginning of Set the Controls.
It is heard well in source 2 and heard in the distance in source 1
Man yells Yea at end of Careful with that Ax, heard in both sources but much closer to source 1,

Original Source 1 notes:
This is a historic show for many reasons. The first is that this is the last gig of the 1971 tour, this date was a replacement date for the concert that was originally schedeuled on October 30th at the Music Hall in Cincinnati. A couple more reasons (and these are the good ones) are that this performance marks the last time the band ever performs 2 songs which had been staples of their setlist for quite some time, one song being The Embryo and the other one being Cymbaline. The Embryo contained here is the longest version to have ever been recorded, lasting about 26 minutes ... incredible!!! The band is quite hot this night too and therefore all the songs are performed very well in my opinion. This is the 1st recorder for this date and unfortunately it is not complete, missing some of Echoes and all of the encore, Blues. This is, however, the better sounding of the 2 recorders for this date and deserves a very nice EX rating. It's something special when you get all these goodies in one RoIO, please enjoy responsibly!

The whole concert from the 2nd source! This is the source that is often used to complete Echoes and Blues. It comes from a 1st generation tape, reaching into the VG-/VG area for sound quality. Apart from a few drops at the begining of CWTAE and a cut during the Blues number, this is very decent, very listenable. It's 3 CDs although it could fit on 80 mins. The performance is sublime, as we all know it. It's always interesting to collect all available sources since you get a different feel for the show. I strongly recommend this one! 145 minutes of Pink Floyd at their best.
