some site said this one contains only March 1st.

I compared audience recording of the Feb 28 and March 1st with this.
at least, without doubt, this is 3 nights compilation.
but track order is just the same that March 1st show (though Typical medley, Love Of My Life, ’39, It’s Late, Brighton Rock, Keep Yourself Alive and usual 2nd encore is cut)

Comments:

From Pigland East – This tape is complete and with only one minor
cut–a very brief tape flip at 44:03 into the second set, which
indicates the taper was using a 90 minute cassette. As usual, FRP strives
to bring you the best possible sound without destroying the archival value
of the source tape by attempting a heavy remastering job.

The audience claps after the 3rd verse during ‘Pigs (3DO)’ and Roger did
not squeal a number. The audience is generally very quiet and respectful,
which is a refreshing change from the standard audience recording of this
tour. Not a single firework to be heard! David performs an incredible jam
during ‘SOYCD (Pts. 6-9)’. This is truly a recording of a band playing at
its peak.

From Pigland West – I’m listening to the show again. What strikes
me the most is the amazing clarity of the recording and the polite and
obviously captivated audience. They are like a Japanese audience–quiet
when they should be and clapping/cheering where appropriate. Hard to believe
they are French (just kidding Pigland Europe!). The performance, I think,
is rather uninspired but certainly an excellent and competent one. A bit
mechanical, maybe. Does David mess up the words in one of the songs?

Other Comments: So what do YOU think, dear listener? If you get a copy of this
release, please feel free to post a short review to the PF fan group of your
choice.

NOTES:
Source 1a was used for most of the show. It’s the best out there, athough incomplete, and the
sound quality is a bit lesser in the second part (with a bit of hiss).

This source was torrented at Dime in january 2010 by borispider (traded CDRs).

Source 1b is from the same recording, but includes more of the show (except the very end). It was
used for the beginning of the concert, most of Sparks, The Acid Queen, Fiddle About,
Summertime Blues, My Generation.

This source is from unknown CDRs.

Source 2 is from an average but still clear recording, and sounds very compressed (either a very
lossy conversion or a heavy noise reduction). It was used for the end of Dremaing From The Waist,
the beginning of Sparks, the intro to Pinball Wizard and the bridge between Roadrunner and WGFA.

This source is from unknown CDRs

Source 3 is the worst sounding of the four, and was used only for the 4 beats introducing Won’t Get
Fooled Again, which I didn’t find on any of the other versions.

This source is from a 1st gen cassette (previously uncirculating).

All sources were processed with more or less EQ, especially source 1a and 1b which were quite dull
