    Comments:
    Mastering - vinyl. Tape hiss evident.
    v One of the better b**tlegs in my collection. Sound quality is fair to good; no crowd noise or distortion, but with tape hiss throughout. The date is given as Filmore West SF., 1970 (Can anyone confirm? - Eds). Roger and Dave alternate vocals on Grantchester Meadows, which fades into a kickass Astronomy Domine; much better than on Ummagumma. AHM is okay: longer than the usual, 14-minute live version, but not as tedious as the album cut. Embryo is good but not particularly unusual. Green Is The Colour is the best I've heard: Dave's voice sounds full-bodied and gorgeous, while Careful... is great but not exceptional. At 58 minutes, this is a pretty good investment.
