Blues
Not long ago, and while ordering mi RoIOs folder, I suddenly realized that I had many of the recordings of the “blues” theme that Pink Floyd used to play between 1970-1972.
A couple of downloads (and some research) later I found that I had gathered and ordered all the available recordings of that musical piece that the Floyd usually played live as an encore.
At first this was a very personal project for individual entertainment only. But then I thought that this could be of some interest for other people as well. So I decided to make it shareable.
When I was finishing, I found that there already was a blues compilation on this tracker: http://yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6875 However, that compilation is incomplete and includes a couple of themes not strictly related to the “blues” theme.
This compilation I made gathers a total of 28 musical pieces starting with the Blues piece the Floyd recorded for the Zabriskie Point movie and which would become the base for most (if not all) of the performances of this famous theme that the Floyd started to play live just a couple of months after the Zabriskie Point sessions. They are presented in chronological order, and run until 1977 when Pink Floyd last played a blues improvised number. I believe these are all the known recordings of the blues. PF may have played the blues several other times, but no recordings of them exist (at least until the date of release of this compilation).
To keep certain coherence in this compilation, I decided to gather only the pieces that were closely related in their origin, structure and interpretation. That’s why you are not getting here all the blues pieces the Floyd ever did. So here’s no space for “Jugband Blues”, “Seamus”, “Carrera Slow Blues”, or “I’m a King Bee”. As you can understand, they don’t belong here.
For each piece the date and place is given, as well as the alternate titles some of them had received in bootleg editions, so that you can identify them without problem. In the artwork and the info file inside this torrent the sources I used are cited as thoroughly as possible in case you would like to get the complete original concerts.
In making this compilation, fade-ins and fade-outs were applied in all the songs to create a smoother flow of the music.
In all the instances but one the source files were kept in its original form without any manipulation. The only one that I manipulated was the Ann Arbor recording. Since Ann Arbor’s source has a big channel problem (the left channel was mostly noise almost without music) and a huge hiss presence everywhere, I decided to duplicate the right channel into the left one, and apply some EQ to get rid of the most serious hiss. Now the Ann Arbor blues is a bit more listenable than before, though by no means I claim it to be “better” and of course is farther than “purer”.
Please enjoy, and share freely as you like and where you like.
Do not sell.

Hi to all
Welcome to my series of mostly uncirculated masters & very low generation shows that i recorded or received in trades in my younger days most of my masters have not been circulated or only traded once or twice i used to trade a lot in the 70s – 80s & i have many many shows well in excess of 7,500 tapes Of these shows about 120 – 150 are my masters they where always on my trading list but not many got traded so I boxed them all up in the late 80s now i have decided to go through them & upload some of them.
I recorded many bands from Genesis ñ Bowie ñ Springsteen – Hawkwind – Hackett ñ Gabriel ñ Marillion plus many many others i will try & upload a least one show a week if not two. To record theses shows i used a Sony portable hand held tape recorder with built in stereo mics. I always used good quality tapes to record on mainly T.D.K.
I used to insert the tape deck in a empty coffee flask with the inside taken out of the flask to get past the security ah those where the days. The only thing i ask is please donít sell these recording & donít convert to mp3 etc & if you do ( only for your own use ). Please donít change any of the files or info files etc this is so that people can tell the difference between this source & other sources as many people like to compare different versions of shows.
Also please do not remaster these shows the reason for this is these days there are far to many remasters of shows. Its ok have one remaster etc, but some are remastered that many times by different people there can be at least 10 different remasters of a show from the same source & it can get a bit tedious.
On to the show for your enjoyment Davros archives presents :-

Linage :- Tape Trade c90 TDK – D ( 2nd Gen ) – Demon tape deck – Yamaha Reciever – Phono Leads Into PC Soundcard – Nero Wave Editor –

I got this tape in around 1981 from a trader in France it does not seem to be on any database so it could be a new show in circlalation. The quality of the recording is good to very good.

Geetarz Comments:
This is a legendary Dominos show, and a personal favorite. Some older reference guides inexplicably refer to this as a soundboard, but it’s clearly a marginal to average recording.
Luckily a fantastic performance makes for any drawbacks of the source material.
“Ramblin” features some of EC’s best ever slide playing. EC can at times play slide a little too precisely – but in this performance, he exhibits loopy, “out of the box” playing that clearly shows Duane Allman’s influence as he dances around all the notes. I don’t recall EC performing “Ramblin'” in this arrangement again, which alone makes it unique.
This performance is also notable for an incredible, mind bending, tour-de-force performance of “Why does Love…”, which is in my Not-So-Humble opinion, not only the finest performance of this song of all time, but has to be one of EC’s top performances of any song, ever. If I were making a list of the “Top 25 songs EC ever played” or something like that, this song would be on that list.
And it’s not just EC here. If you listen to some of the very early gigs, the band were a little loose, but here they play as a single organism, rising and falling, playing off each other for all they are worth. “Why Does…” has always had a demanding and unusual bass line, and Gordon holds it down, driving the song in the same way that Entwhistle would actually drive the rhythm of The Who as Moon, or in this case Jim Gordon, lays out some 15+ minutes of drum madness, and Bobby Whitlock holding it all together with a shimmering B3 and his incredible vocals.
This performance of this song is indeed “epic”, and unforgettable.
This show also features the first-ever live performance of “Motherless Children”, albeit in raw form, which in a way adds to its charm.
Now, back “in the day”, cassettes of varying degrees of distance from the source were in circulation, and this performance had, again in varying degrees in distance from the source, made its way onto ROIO releases on vinyl and CD.
Up until 2000, the best extant version was the one best identified by its length, 73:08. Keep in mind that different CD players can show time a second or two off, but that is the best advice I can give you for you to determine which version of this show you may have.
In mid-2000, my long-lost D&D maniac collector friend Tony, who really did have a nose like a bloodhound when it came to unearthing rare and low gen stuff (along with some pretty funny anecdotes) came up excitedly with this version, which is labeled “1st Generation Audience Source”.
Now, this is where people get into semantic differences, and I’ve never gotten a real consensus on this. Personally, I write my lineage out like this:
Master > 1st Gen > 2nd Gen > 3rd Gen > etc.
But I have also seen many people who list lineage like this:
1st Gen Master > 2nd Gen > 3rd Gen > etc.
In other words, if someone tells you that they live on the 5th house on the left on Elm avenue, are they counting the house on the corner of Elm and Main?
In this case, I don’t know, and I don’t care. I’m just giving you all the information I have, which is that the disc and the accompanying notes I received read “1st Generation Audience Source”. One way to identify this source, is that it clocks in at 72:54, whereas the inferior source clocks in at 73:08, with the additonal time on the inferior source being extra space on the tape where it was copied along the way.
Sonically, this is a vast improvement over the 73:08 version, I’d say at least 2, perhaps as many as 4 generations’ improvement.
It goes without saying that this is also a real improvement over the commercial RoIO “Electric Factory” CD (Deep-6, Deep6-5).
In the years since 2000, this low gen recording has been traded a bit, first among a circle of the pretty serious collectors and then likely used as the source for some of the tweaked and remastered versions later released on various ROIO labels. Here’s your chance to get that original source, not to say that the “remastered” versions may not suit your fancy more than this untampered recording, but if you’d like the original, here you go in the best quality available.
As always, all proper thanks to the anonymous taper, and my long lost friend Tony, who burned brightly in this hobby and then disappeared to pursue other interests, likely with the same vim and vigor he exhibited with D & D.
Even if you’re one of those people who typically avoids audience recordings, it would be a huge mistake to pass this up if you’ve never heard this show.
Put on “Why Does Love …”, and it’s definitely required that you play this as loudly as possible … if the cops come, tell ’em “Geetarz made me do it!”.

This night represented the change in line-up for the band, just past the mid-point of the 1989 run at the RAH. Steve Ferrone replaced Phil Collins on drums, and Mark Knopfler joined the band.
Also, Carole King guests on “After Midnight” and “Can’t Find My Way Home”.
The changes and special guests really invigorate the band, beginning with an invigorating “Crossroads”.

Geetarz Comments:
Here’s a rarity from what I consider a “lost tour”, the short Australia / Asian tour that finished off 1984. Very few of these shows were recorded (what’s up with you Aussie tapers?) and it’s one of those tours that is often overlooked.
If you consider EC’s career from a historical perspective, 1985 is considered by many to be the pivotal year when EC burst back on the popular music scene in a big way, with the Live Aid performance. But the groundwork began to be laid in 1983 with the ARMS concerts, and then in a more intense fashion as EC recorded new material in 1984, began to change his band, and then of course had his invigorating summer stint with Roger Waters as a sideman, allowing him the freedom to just PLAY GUITAR.
Considered in this light, the fall 1984 tour could almost be looked at as a dress rehearsal for the new sound and new band that would propel EC into the popular music scene of the 1980s, back into the charts in a big way, and introduce him to a new generation of post-baby-boom fans.
Here we have a rare document of that tour, one I’ve not seen circulated much if at all. This is clearly what I call a “pure” soundboard recording, with no audience mics in the mix, with the audience only audible as bleed-through.
The original tape source was quite rough, and it took a bit of work to bring out something more listenable. Along with the basics of appropriate EQ and normalization, this took as much noise reduction as it could stand without stomping on the high end, which was already attenuated a bit.
This finished version is much more listenable in my opinion – check it out for yourself and see!
If you enjoy the 1985 tour as much as I do, this is one you may have overlooked.
