Pink Floyd: 1977-07-02 New York, NY (FLAC_Master AUD_2 CD)

This specific source for this show is very rare and it is the raw and unprocessed show from the master cassette tape(s).  This excellent show and recording is reportedly one the best Pink Floyd audience recordings to have surfaced over the years.  You really find yourself saying "is this a soundboard recording" throughout the show.  This is an example of what we all strive for when we record shows.

This upload is a digital transfer of the master tape(s) used to record the show and it is the full, complete show.  There are some earlier versions that have surfaced through the years.  But they are not not sourced directly from this master tape transfer, and it sounds as if they may have some parts (small parts) missing too.

I've noticed there are split second gaps (or silence) in between tracks however.  I'm not sure if this master source being used was transferred using DAO (disc-at-once) settings creating the tiny gaps or if there's another reason for them.  I'll do some more research and see what I can find out about this.

Even if you aren't a huge Pink Floyd fan (I like them a lot, but I'm not the hugest of fans myself), this one is worth downloading just to hear how clean, clear, and excellent it is.  My favorite song (the different parts of course) is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and David Gilmour's guitar playing in it. This is the definitive copy of this 1977 show!

I wish I could talk to the original taper and ask then just what they did to get such an excellent recording.  It has such a perfect, full range of sound (both the high end and low end).

So, enjoy a night from just a little short (less than two months away) of 36 years ago.  And then pass it on to share with your friends too...
