Show #146 Release date: 11. January, 2010

Welcome back!  During the holiday break Harvested Records gave a select few a sneak peak at an upcoming project with a set of master recordings from Floyd's 1971 Montreux gig.  These are the raw files as received and Harvested will be creating a definitive version in the near future.

The taper used 2 Sennheiser MD-421 and a Uher 4200 reel to reel recorder at 19ips. Concerning his rig at the time, he had the following to say about it...

"I had my UHER 'custom unbuilt' in multiple parts, so I could sneak it in more discretely. Then I built a whole 'neck-holder' (like the one Bob Dylan's used to hold the harp), a heavy construction sewed in a tough-tissued jacket (often way to hot to bear at concerts) and the two mics were placed niftily beside each ear hidden by my long hair..."

He also went on to say that he's never released this recording directly from the master tapes... that is until now.  The Pavillion, Montreux, Switzerland, 18. September 1971.

  • Wow, that 1971 Montreux was probably the best I've heard from that era, next to the work at Pompeii.

    Thanks a lot! Can't wait to hear the remastered piece!!

  • Podcast is great. I'm amazed the taper managed to get in the hall with so much concealed kit, for it still to work and with a fantastic result!

  • Thanks Matt - great to have you back. Thanks also to Harvested. The image in my mind of the taper all rigged up makes me really appreciate his dedication.

  • @Mike - these are not soundboard recordings.
    @Richard - I'll see what I can do but most of the Animals gigs are very poor quality (recording wise)

  • Hello Doc, Just want to say how much I love the soundboard recordings you posted.Where can I get these on cd ? I can't find them anywhere else,for free that is. So Thanks and welcome back. Have a great New Year and we will too. Mike

  • Thanks guys. I mention in the podcast I did nothing to improve the recording. Its not doctored (yet). Harvested asked that it not be \"remastered\" because they plan on doing so very soon. When their version is released I will \"remaster\" my own version and we;ll see who\'s sounds better ; )

    I was so tempted to remaster it anyway... but I don\'t want to piss anyone off.

  • You beat me to it doc! I downloaded this a few weeks ago and had yet to convert it in mp3 so I can play it on my i-pod. Oh well now I get to hear your take on it :}
