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.

  • Still amazing stuff like this gets out! Although it is said to see Floyd soundboards so rare considering bands like Rush seem to have about one a tour!

  • Hey Doc;

    Just listened to this for the first time last night - another quality podcast.

    I must say it's rather odd to hear a soundboard recording like this, with Dave's voice so far out front (the audience only a whisper) - definitely improves the music, though. :-D

  • What is the person in the audience saying when David says "He Couldn't Make It Tonight"?

    Top notch podcast once again!
