    Comments: Very Very Very good sound quality, equals DSoT. RW plays essentially different versions of the songs, especially the first two. Quite good recording, except some strange effect in the beginning (first two songs): The high frequencies are appearing and vanishing regularly, as if the CD was made from a tape which was stored the wrong way. Crowd sometimes too loud. Very cheap production. Excellent sound quality. However, a few crackles and hisses can be heard with the aid of earphones leading me to believe this was mastered from a LP. Great twist on "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun," and the renditions of "Welcome To The Machine" and "Have A Cigar" are quite good. All in all, I would recommend this RoIO, although it does not contain any live 'Pros and Cons' or 'Final Cut' material.
