This radio programme is best known for rebroadcasting Work from the RTL radio recording of ThÈ‚tre des Champs ElysÈes, 8e, Paris, France, 23 January 1970. Often overlooked, however, is the fact that it additionally features concert excerpts from 1971 and 1974. The June 1974 recording of Money (track 11) is particularly nice to have because it does not appear to be available elsehwere.

Also of interest are interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason that demonstrate their French language skills. The other major contributor to the discussion is More and Obscured By Clouds Director Barbet Schroeder who looks back on his work with the band.

You may spot that side B is louder than A – the tape came to me that way. Overall this is a very enjoyable documentary, which gets better when your ears adjust to the medium wave reception.
