Was conducted immediately after the 1971 year-to-date the date of the famous legend in “Hakone Aphrodite”, than Floyd 70s only Australian tour, Melbourne of August 13, the first day of recording the Festival Hall performance in the high-quality audience recording. It has been uploaded to the net “Karmamania’s 1st gen cass” version of the direct recording. Originally, but is 71 years Melbourne sound source known in the high-quality sound, this work is to convince the quality of certain generators, probably the best of the performances were accompanied by a clear and natural wide sense. Speed ​​control is, of course, the optimization of the left and right channel balance and volume, and even more carefully alleviate the problem of there was analog noise in various places, is carefully corrected one very excellent was. Atom Heart Mother a floating feeling and strength, us playing in perfect balance is quite a great performance reminds us Hakone performances that have been made in the previous week. Green Is The Colour, since this performance would have been removed from the last set, is very valuable. In between the mania of the day, sometimes described as “a detached performance” Careful With That Axe, Eugene will also say playing make me feel cool strength that was effective suppression Conversely . In the climax of the part of the Echoes 7 minutes and 30 seconds, what Rick is the wrong configuration, but will play a blunder that would put a big Misuton Organ, flashy backing in the wild, such as never was heard immediately after the started to play amaze (simply mix is ​​perhaps only, but …) to listen to the hand. Behind the backing of gull tone of Gilmore also liven up by making full use of the SE effect of wind. Unlike the sound source, which has been around for ever, this board is has been recorded in the order of Echoes → Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, also Hakone set of still of theories, the same Atom Heart Mother / Green with this Melbourne Is the Colour / Careful with That Axe, perhaps was the Eugene / Echoes / Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun / Cymbaline / a Saucerful of Secrets. (This day does not seem to be playing as well Fat Old Sun Hakone.) A Saucerful Of Secrets is suddenly cut out in its outstanding as well 6 min after Zoletile injection. Since the climax is the climax of the part, does not escape the sudden sense of, of us to hear until the last minute without the bad fade processing is welcome. After of in the recording of this era, it is one of thanks again to taper to me to record considerably longer each tuning part also between songs. Because it is a very excellent version, please enjoy.
「箱根アフロディーテ」で有名な伝説の1971年初来日直後に行われた、フロイド70年代唯一のオーストラリア･ツアーより、初日の8月13日のメルボルンはフェスティバル･ホール公演を高音質オーディエンス録音で収録。ネットにアップロードされた「Karmamania’s 1st gen cass」ヴァージョンをダイレクト収録。元々、高音質で知られている71年メルボルン音源ですが、本作は確かなジェネの良質さを確信させる、クリアーかつ自然なワイド感を伴った同公演のベストと言えるでしょう。スピードコントロールは勿論、左右のチャネルバランスやボリュームの適正化、更には各所にあったアナログノイズの問題を丁寧に軽減し、念入りに補正された大変優秀な一本です。浮遊感と力強さを、絶妙なバランスで演奏してくれるAtom Heart Motherは、その前の週に行われた箱根公演を思い出させてくれるなかなかの名演です。Green Is The Colourは、本公演を最後にセットから外されてしまうので、非常に貴重です。マニア間では「淡々とした演奏」と評されることもあるこの日のCareful With That Axe, Eugeneは、逆にいえば抑制の効いたクールな力強さを感じさせてくれる演奏とも言えるでしょう。Echoesでは7分30秒の盛り上がりのパートで、リックが構成を間違えたのか、オルガンで大きくミストーンを出してしまうという失態を演じてしまいますが、その直後聴いたことないようなワイルドで派手なバッキングプレイを始め(単にミックスがだけなのかもしれませんが・・・）聴き手を驚かせます。ギルモアのカモメトーンの後ろのバッキングも風のSE効果を駆使して盛り上げてくれます。これまで出回っていた音源と違い、本盤はEchoes→Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun という順番で収録されていますが、未だに諸説のある箱根のセットも、このメルボルンと同じAtom Heart Mother/Green Is The Colour/Careful With That Axe, Eugene/Echoes/Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun/Cymbaline/A Saucerful Of Secretsだったのかもしれません。(この日は箱根同様にFat Old Sunは演奏していないようです。）A Saucerful Of Secretsは既発同様に6分目でいきなりカットアウト。盛り上がりが最高潮のパートですので、唐突感は免れませんが、下手なフェイド処理をせずにギリギリまで聴かせてくれるのはありがたい。後のこの時代の録音にしては、曲間のチューニング・パートもそれぞれかなり長めに録音してくれたのにもテーパーに改めて感謝の一本です。大変優秀なヴァージョンですので、是非お楽しみ下さい。
