PINK FLOYD - Live In Santa Monica May 1970 (2CD) - SPA Top Gear Edition - VERY RARE

Limited to 500 copies, a fan-club, double-disc and absolutely brilliant recording ('audience recording') of a 126-minute Pink Floyd concert from Santa Monica on 1 May 1970 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED with the other superb and famous show from the same city, from 23 October 1970) - recorded half a year before the release of the LP "Atom Heart Mother". An excellent concert, and the almost perfect sound quality helps enormously in enjoying it. The whole thing was recorded on a professional reel-to-reel recorder, so the quality is identical to the brilliant Montreux show from November of that year and it sounds like a very good soundboard - in my opinion at times better than the live part of the LP "Ummagumma"! This is the PF I love most - still experimental, still enchanting with a psychedelic sound, but not afraid to hit hard in an almost hard-rock way! The band was at its peak form then, and at concerts of this period managed to work out an exceptionally juicy, full sound with incredible parts from Gilmour and Wright. Afterwards (after 1973) it was no longer the same... An absolute MUST! (JL)
