Often from a 2nd set of mics (which you can see in many videos from the era) as equipment of that era was not easy to interconnect and make multiple mixes with. You do hear drum bleed getting treated with vocal echo at times during this or any Pink Floyd show but this goes far beyond that to the point that it significantly alters the music.īroadcast mixes of this era were often made by a radio station engineer mixing the individual inputs from the stage on their own console. Hard to tell if it's an echo applied to the entire mix or just the drum/instrument bleed in the vocal mics. This element of the mix is very crudely executed and does not follow the live mix. This may have been added in post production but it's possible that they had an fx feed that they simply mixed too heavy in the broadcast mix and which was further exaggerated by the compression. There is fairly heavy delay effect during some parts. This had a serendipitous effect of preserving a surprising level of nuance during some of the quietest sections. This mix was heavily compressed (as is common with radio broadcasts).
The different broadcasts are each uniquely incomplete and the remaining copies of the 1st 3 are extreme low fidelity. This was broadcast in edited form at least twice and then just a song or two and with interviews at least twice. Paris radio recorded a mono broadcast mix. This does not increase the file size with FLAC compression. This is to avoid it playing only through the center channel of a 5.1 home theater system or a single channel of a stereo system. * The mono program is presented as dual mono in the stereo format. The Amazing Pudding (Atom Heart Mother)ī2. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sunġ6. Special thanks to Gerard for capturing and preserving this most unique show and to Philippe for coordinating this and setting the bar with the initial release! Finally, none of this would be possible without the tireless and extraordinary effort of Neonknight for all his work in coordinating this project as well as archivist and transfer engineer for the best copies of the broadcast recordings.ġ5.
The restoration and presentation of elements of the broadcast mix is only possible now that this audience recording has surfaced. Many parts of course are only the audience recording. The sound here is of an audience recording at all times including in the VIP section. This master leans heavily on the audience recording. This recording is a restoration of this concert from an audience recording along with elements of the radio broadcast mix of the show.
