Comments:
Pretty easy to get, this again is the PBS broadcast 29.4.70. Due to crackle
suppression technique used, the music suffers, but is still slightly better
than Colourful Meadows.
The date could be 29th April 1970, as reported in an old Italian book
about Pink Floyd interviews and rarities. A good performance, the only
remarkable drawback is the terrible vocals in AHM. The sound quality is
enough good, it was '70, do not forget. A collectable item, for sure.
Darkness Over Frisco does appear to be different from
Psychedelicamania. At least the song Green is the Colour is different
because on Psychedelicamania Dave doesn't bother to sing Green but goes
straight to coulor of her way. In Darkness he clearly does sing green and
the pace is much slower on this Roio or else the tape speed is wrong.
I always thought they were the same so I never bothered listening to
Darkness Over Frisco. It's on a crappy label anyway. If you gave a
soundboard DAT to World Productions they would have to add vinyl pops
and tape clicks just because of tradition. You heard of No-Noise, well
these people have the technology of Mo-noise as in More-Noise.
