More 1970 live PF, this time from the Fairfield Hall, Croydon on 18th January. The sound quality on this one’s pretty ropey but it’s worth listening to because of this amazing setlist. Rick plays trombone and vibes as well as piano and organ and there’s all manner of freakery and weirdness going on.
1. Careful With That Axe, Eugene – 11 min
2. Embryo – 12 min
3. Main Theme From ‘More’ - 14 min
4. Biding My Time – 6.5 min
5. A Saucerful Of Secrets - 17 min
6. Astronomy Domine – 10 min
7. Heart Beat Pig Meat – 8.5 min
8. The Violent Sequence (an early version of ‘Us and Them’) – 8 min
9. Set The Controls For The Heart of the Sun – 14 min
10. The Amazing Pudding (an early version of ‘Atom Heart Mother’; this was probably the second time it had been played live) – 28 min

The Band ‘Music from Big Pink’ 1968. First time I’ve heard this, discovered while reading about the American covers and influences on early Fairport Convention.

Hopping forward to 1971 (19th June) and the Floyd travelled to Italy, playing the Palasport Eib in Brescia, Lombardy.
This is a remarkably good recording for a bootleg from 1971. It was done by Renzo Storti, a sound technician who worked for Italian radio, cinema and with the University of Padua.
He recorded the concert with a Uher 4400 reel-to-reel with two Shure microphones; he adjusted the levels during the concert while a friend moved the two mics (which were placed on stands).
1. Intro - 2 min
2. Atom Heart Mother (the ‘Funky Dung’ section is really heavy and, well, funky) – 17 min
3. Careful With That Axe, Eugene – 14.5 min
4. Fat Old Sun – 15 min
6. Embryo - 11 min
7. The Return of The Son Of Nothing (a very early version of Echoes, with completely different lyrics and the band still working out the ‘Crying Gulls’ section. The funk jam bit is also very different, being organ, rather than guitar, led) – 24.5 min
8. Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun 13.5 min
9. Cymbaline (very lengthy footsteps/doors tape FX section) – 11 min
10. A Saucerful of Secrets (very noisy and experimental in parts)– 21 min
11. Blues – 7 min

Initially I thought this release might not be as good as her debut but the more I play it the better it gets & it’s certainly the best new release I’ve bought this year. Track 1 outdoes Cave in joyousness/the production of, I think. It’s the ballads though in the end (again). Brilliant. Uniti Core.
