Comments by Littlesheep:
Ok, this is not a perfect recording indeed, but this is a super upgrade to the version I had before! Sounds still a bit bassy but it's bearable, whereas on Berlin Day 1 it was very annoying!
there are no loss of channels here, and no NR of course; hiss is very moderate, coming from a first generation tape.
Pigs has a little portion repeated before the 3rd verse (change of tape side I guess - on Berlin Day 1 there's an edit at that point)

F_A note: very nice upgrade indeed for this often snobbed complete audience recording (many aud+sbd versions are prefered) compared to Berlin Day 1.
Though this one has compression above 19KHz dued to the MiniDisc generation in the lineage. This is still not the ultimate version: another transfer directly from 1st gen tapes
to WAV does exist, and is even less bassy and has better channel separation (EQ'ed while capturing). -Furry_Animal

Complete January 30 performance (+ announcer and tuning before the last encore)
2nd night in Berlin. Sound quality is excellent, the crowd is, as usual, warm and tidy.
Waters says a choked 6 on Pigs (3 diff. ones) 3rd verse min. 11:46, perhaps he was not completely sure about the number to reveal here, indeed he will say 6 the following night in Vienna too. -littlesheep

Comments (from YGBC Site) nice mix of the Berlin January 29 soundboard recording. here all the tracks are from Berlin actually ...
Dark Side Of The Pig + Darkside II used to offer the Berlin Animals set split on the 2 CDs (and Berlin Mix Desk has just few tracks from Berlin)
the sound quality and stuff are the same though, no upgrades obviously ... these strange SB recordings have imperfections since the origin ...
my Dark Side II used to have a couple of flaws during the 2 Pigs On The Wing due to a bad copy anyway, so this version is a nice replacement for me.
