Show #54, Release date: 31. March, 2006

Tennis Center, Melbourne, Australia, 19. February, 1988. This is
a soundboard, concert recording that surfaced last summer. I'd love to know how this came to fruition because it's the best of an '88 gig you'll find.  It has a few flaws however.  There were some slight  mixing issues plus the encore and other small parts were missing.  My guess is that a crew member had recorded this for their own posterity.  Anyway, I tried my best to patch it up just to make the ride less bumpy and added a fantasy encore, if you will, for good measure.  Oh and almost forgot, speaking of patching things.  This podcast opens with a very nice soundboard version of Echoes, however incomplete from 1987, but that's patched up too.  I explain more in the podcast.  Hope you dig it.

Originally Show #1, Air date: 20. March, 2004

In the Flesh concert #61, at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, 6. July 1977, during which the famous spitting incident occurred. This was the concert that broke the camel's back with obnoxious, large stadium crowds which intern inspired Roger's idea for building The Wall.

This was the last show of the tour and the last time Animals would be performed live by the Floyd. It was also the last time Roger would perform Wish You Were Here and Money with Pink Floyd until 28 years later for the famous Live8 reunion.

It's an audience recording from the floor section. Sound quality is about a 3.75 on a scale of 1 to 5, (5 being the best) and runs 2hrs 35mins in its entirety, unedited.
