Pink Floyd - Disgusting, Hardly Music
(Fat Old Sun : FOSCDR2)
City Hall, Sheffield, England
Tuesday December 22nd, 1970

Very Good Audience Recording
Encoded: 320 Kbps MP3

This was a very special performance by the band. This is the only known live recording of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast but also hosts an amazing performance by the band which included them making morning tea on stage which is audible. Just like most of their earlier performances, the performance of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast slightly differs from the album version due to some nice jamming done by the band, especially Gilmour with his delay pedal. -Original

Here it is! One of the most intriguing pink floyd performances before the dark side of the moon era, or perhaps ever. just imagine being there: the year is 1970, it's just days before christmas, and you find yourself going to see pink floyd, the premier experimental rock band, perform a monster of a show, playing 7 songs over the course of two and a half hours to a quiet but appreciative audience. perhaps you've also consumed some LSD in order to enhance the experience.

This is a very good recording, and you can hear each instrument pretty damn clearly, although there are occasional small drop-outs (my major gripes being a second-long cut right after the scream in 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' as well as a cut that ends 'set the controls' before the final vocal reprise). I've found many recordings lack the low end where roger waters' bass resides, but you can hear roger plunk away pretty clearly on this one. while i honestly don't think the performance is particularly great, i think it's worth a listen for its historic nature, given the interesting set opener and closer.
