Careful With That Axe, Eugene08. Set The Controls For The Sum Of The Sun09. Interstellar Overdrive10. A Saucerful Of SecretsThanks a lot to Rudy and M.M.

who provided this wonderful source, all credits to them.Ah, forget about any other variant of this show. Forget even around the nice tracks from the Omay Yad LP. Straight from a 1st Generation Reel, comparing itto the early versions around wouldnt be just for the early releases, because this never sounded as effective as it does with this version. You wont get a better version of this concert till the master reels gets transferred. And as if this wasnt enough, now we can hear Green is the Colour, Careful and Saucerful whichwerent available till today. It gets a bit distorted on the louder parts but it's absolutely listenable and the definition is even very good, i can be with that. Bass is very well but lacks a bit of highs, still, it has excellent brightness and definition overall. Another source with better highs would have a better difference even.Only editing on this recording was on AD, removing some damaged portion at 4:16-4:20m and over Cymbaline, M.M. removed 'the lines converging where you stand' till the chorus part and spotted it with a bif ot Santa Monica 23.10.70. The common 'Santa Monica' bootleg has the complete Cymbaline with the original drop-outs and cuts. Also, i let a pair of transfers from fan tapes that make some dropouts at the start of AD, that anomalies are not give here. Also, Careful has an skip at 2:36m and i consider it might be missing around a minute cosit jumps abruptly from the quiet ambience to a few bars before the scream. ASoS has another skip towards the end. These skips/cuts are not from CDs.
