Review: A treat for Pink Floyd fans, as recordings of two legendary concerts from 1969 - sneakily captured by members of the audience - are bundled together on one must-check CD. The first seven tracks showcase a portion of the legendary band's distinctively psychedelic performance at Plumpton Racecourse, Sussex (then host to the 'National Jazz and Blues Festival'), offering up twisted, elongated takes on early material (including 'Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun' and a fine medley known as 'The Journey'. The final four tracks were recorded in Port Talbot and include breathtakingly brilliant, jammed-out interpretations of 'Careful With That Axe Eugene' and the pinnacle of psychedelic-era Floyd, 'Interstellar Overdrive'.
Review: Legendary prog rock icons Pink Floyd performed live at the KB Hallen, Copenhagen on November 10 ,1972 and this is a digitally remastered recording of that night. It's a great bit of musical history, capturing the band across two CDs that feature many highlights, not least the epic 24-minute rendition of 'Echoes' which is about as prog as prog can get. As well as that, the album takes in the entirety of The Dark Side Of The Moon plus extra tracks 'One Of These Days' and 'Careful With That Axe Eugene,' all of which make it a superb addition to the collection of any fan.
Review: In March 1972, Pink Floyd headed to Japan for a live tour debuting their then forthcoming album Dark Side of the Moon. The Travel Sequence presents one of those performances in full, with the legendary prog rock four-piece blending live versions of the as-yet-unreleased set with a smattering of fan favourites and elongated freak-outs. While the recording quality is undeniably fuzzy (the tapes the concert was recorded to had been in storage for over 50 years), the two-disc set captures the band at the peak of their powers. Highlights include still-in-development versions of 'On The Run' and 'The Great Gig in the Sky', a chaotic version of psychedelic fave 'Careful With That Axe Eugene' and a vast, 25-minute extension of 'Echoes' to close the concert.
