Comments:
  This is a decent recording from a very, very rare show.  This is the Floyd at their most adventuresome best! The Alan's Pschedelic Breakfast is pretty good, and hard to find.  The rest of the show has some classic stuff that did not remain in the setlist for long.  All are quite listenable, a few drop-outs, some distortions, etc.  But hey, what'cha expect from an audience recording Jan 1970??  Supposedly, this claims to be the earliest recorded performance of "The Amazing Pudding" and "Violent Sequence".  Also, of interest, in the "Main Theme" Rog goes into some of his deep throated warblings and screams in the mid section which seques into a pseudo "Interstellar Overdrive" for a few riffs and a bluesy Gilmour solo. Then back to the "Main Theme".  Very good stuff, indeed!  "Biding My Time" Rawks!

Don't get me wrong...this ain't for the timid, but from the stand[point of RARE, this is definitely a must have, if just to imagine what the show was really like.
