This is from a cassette tape that I copied from my friend Tim Sharp in 1979. An excellent performance captured by a live FM radio broadcast. Two thirds of this is recorded in mono with the middle third in true stereo. It may have been that the mono switch on Tim's receiver was used to improve reception. 

Copied from Tim's master "off air" cassette to my Revox B77 reel then to my Sony DAT recorder at 16/48. Transferred to 16/44 wav files and cleaned up numerous dropouts and defects with Audacity. With the exception of the tape flips you will not even notice them. 

The bad: 
Tape flip in "Still Falls the Rain" and is at 29:24. 
During "Ladytron" (between 54:41 and 54:43) there is 2 seconds of static from FM interference. 
Next tape flip is during "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" which was spliced at 61:49 or 5:26 of track 12. 
Although a couple of seconds were lost the splice is nearly transparent. 

The phase was off by 20 samples of which number were removed from the right channel to line this up. An immediate improvement in the sound balance was noted after this correction. Before correction the right channel was very weak and it affected my first torrent of this show.

Pink Floyd's The Wall (1979) stands as one of Pink Floyd's greatest achievements, as well of one of the greatest achievements in rock music and live concert production. The album spawned a tour, a film, a book of the film (now quite collectible), and eventually an all-star revival concert in Berlin, and finally in 1999 a double live album.

But before The Wall was a film, a concert, or even an album, The Wall was just an idea... an idea under construction. The Wall went through at least two "demo" stages. The first was a crude recording of Roger Waters strumming his guitar and singing alone. Presented by waters at the same time as another concept called The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Waters' first demo -still uncirculated even today - was deemed unlistenable by the rest of the band, but they felt it had potential. The Hitchhiking demo was set aside, but The Wall demo was developed further.

Many writing sessions later, Pink Floyd - probably with assistance from Bob Ezrin - recorded a second, more complete demo. The lyrics were not polished, and neither was the music. Thankfully, lyrics like "I am a physician/ who can handle your condition/ like a magician" would be entirely discarded and rewritten before the songs were finally committed to tape in a studio, But the rough lyrics and the risky musical experiments which appeared in that second demo have finally made it to the public.
