Notes:
This release started off as a fun project. I started to experiment with different snippets from many early Pink Floyd Songs and tried to seperate single instruments from those pieces.
The original idea was to make a LP-side long suite from Embryo.
This idea was dropped later when someone (god bless him) suggested the ÑBirmingham Suiteì to reconstruct as a studio recording.
Obviously the Floyd had been working on two suites at the beginning of 1970, which both contained rejected material from the Zabriskie Point sessions, one being what later became ÑAtom Heart Motherì, the other one being the Birmingham Suite. This second one was dropped from the setlist after a few shows because it obviously was not strong enough to become an early Floyd classic (but even more obviously became an early Floyd collectors’ classic because it was played so rarely and even never was properly taped). But what could it have sounded like, if Pink Floyd had not dropped it and had recorded it in studio?
A few words on song titles: The work title of ÑIn The Skyì was ÑVibes/Organ/Birdsì. After having completed this album we at MQR thought it might be nice to rename it. ÑIn The Skyì sounded very nice and was kept for this reason. Absolutely no idea if Pink Floyd would have given it a similar title. In the end they didnët even play it that way…
We knew about the Birmingham Suite being referred to as ÑHalcyon Piano in Niagara Dellofì but we didn’t like that title and there is no evidence for this title being an original band idea.
So we sought after a title that referred to something to eat just as the other suite’s working title ÑThe Amazing Puddingì, that would later become the almost equally stupid titled ÑAtom Heart Motherì.
After a few attempts like ÑZabriskie Stewì ÑZabriskie Soupì WRomanus came up with the fantastic and inimitably stupid ÑZabriskie Roastbeefì…

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was both the first and only time that I’ve seen Mark Knopfler’s band, and also the first and only time that I have been to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. I saw Dire Straits at the Oakland Coliseum on 2/2/92 on the ‘On Every Street’ tour, and I was glad to
see Mark again. I didn’t think there was a lot of difference between Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler solo. Mark Knopfler IS Dire Straits, in my opinion. I went to the Greek show with my friend Dave. They have ‘stack’ parking at the Greek, on the lawn, so you can’t leave until the show is over. I’d never seen that before, but I guess it’s because they have limited space. The Greek is a beautiful amphitheatre, being right next to Griffith Park. There are huge redwood trees that encircle the amphitheatre. My first experience with the Greek was listening to Neil Diamond’s ‘Hot August Night’ LP when I was a kid, and hearing him talk about the ‘Tree People’ who would climb the trees to hear the show for free. I loved that album. Neil spoke of how beautiful the theatre was, and he wasn’t kidding. He said it was performer’s paradise. Dave’s first show was one of those ‘Hot August Night’ shows in August of 1972, at the Greek. We sat in the left terrace level. The two terraces, one on either side of the main amphitheatre, were added later and did not exist originally. Being that I was near the inside rail, I had a pretty clear and unobstructed view of both the stage and the left PA stacks, so the sound was pretty good. I did have a couple near me, who left midway through the show, that kept unwrapping
little hard candies. I think the microphones picked up the sound of the wrappers. I really enjoyed hearing live renditions of Knopfler’s solo albums, especially the songs ‘What It Is’, ‘Junkie Doll’ and ‘Speedway At Nazareth’ from the ‘Sailing To Philadelphia’ album, and ‘Rudiger’ from the ‘Golden Heart’ album.

Geetarz Comments:
Thanks to the folks at ZigZag, a great chronicle of the Dominos’
live shows, previously closely held only by a few traders. Quality
is average to fair to poor, as with many audience recordings from
the era, but the performances and historical importance of the shows
outshines any limitations of the actual recordings.
This is a a fascinating document of the beginning and an end of an
essential musical era, and the selection of sources provides a panorama
of how D&D’s live performances evolved over the short life of the band.
Many of the base sources are available separately, ZigZag has done a
little remastering and cleaning work, but nothing heavy handed that
detracts from the music, and in the end it’s a matter of personal
choice which source you prefer. Overall, a nice, well thought out
and packaged box set – recommended.
