Grateful Dead

ForensicDoc is quite knowledgeable in the Floyd and gave us some background about Wembley 74 when it came out as CD 2 of DSOTM remaster. I don’t remember the details but maybe he will fill us in again.

So, I suspect that the vinyl is the same as CD 2 of the DSOTM remaster.
They don’t give the date because they think that people won’t buy the CD if they already have the circulating BBC copy. But that doesn’t apply to me because I will buy the audio upgrade.
Too bad Floyd has to mostly rely on old TV and radio recordings for their live releases. And they may have already emptied the vault with the Early Years Box.

Tanks fellers!
Weird they don’t list the actual dates?

That show was broadcast on BBC, so decent copies have been in circulation for years.
But set 2 that came with the remastered DSOTM sounds better than the copy I have.

But at least my copy is the complete show.

Yes... , and it would have been the Wembley Pool/Arena The Dead played in 1990. A cavernous place - if you are more than 2/3rds of way from the stage it's questionable whether it's worth going at all. I was so far away, and so high up in the clouds, when I saw Page and Plant that I might as well have been in the next county. It was great in the stalls for The Dead on 10/30/90 but two night later, up in the Gods, to the right...not so good.

Oro - I'm not 100% certain, but going off comments on the Steve Hoffman forum, it looks as though all sections released in the sources you mention are from the same Floyd show. There was a discussion recently about whether the sound quality would be improved on this new live Dark Side compared to what had come out earlier. The general idea,as I remember it, seemed to be that it would be the same.

I've noticed a few live recordings of bands that have come out that give no, or very little, indication of the date of the show being presented. Some of The Stones ones are like that - they tell you the year, but not necessarily the date.

Wembley in north west London is home to the Empire Pool, renamed the Wembley Arena in 1978, which was an indoor swimming pool built for the 1934 British Empire Games and last used as a swimming pool for the 1948 Olympic Games. After that the pool was covered and it has been used as a venue for various events ever since. It is next to Wembley Stadium, the national football stadium. The original stadium was demolished and rebuilt early this century. Sometimes it is used for concerts but most concerts take place in the Pool/Arena. If a concert is described as having taken place at Wembley, chances are it was at the Pool/Arena.

I have the remastered “experience” editions of DSOTM and Wish and the bonus disc from DSOTM is all of DSOTM labeled “Live at the Empire Pool, Wembley, London 1974”, while the bonus disc from Wish has Shine On, Raving and Drooling, abd you’ve got to be Crazy labeled “Live at Wembley 1974”.
Also have a 24:10 Echoes from “Wembley 1974” off of Early Years box, cd 20 track 11 (Thanks Again Dave!)
So yeah, are all these from the same show?

In my Pink Floyd folder, shows. I have two shows from "Wembley". 11/15/74 and 11/16/74. One is labeled Wembley Stadium and the other is "Wembley Empire Pool".

Are these the same place or two different venues?

Alvarhanaso - you probably know - I had forgotten yesterday - but the first three tracks from the Wembley 1974 show, "Shine On.." "Raving and "Drooling" and "You Gotta Be Crazy" were included in the second disc of the "Wish You Were Here" set that came out a few years ago. Which does make this new "Dark Side" live portion that's coming out a bit more desirable, as it's possible for me to piece together the whole show.

My copy of "Early Years" included a cd of "Live at Pompeii" but not "Obscured By Clouds". I contacted "the authorities", and they sent me a cd of " Obscured Through Clouds." I didn't get the new mix of "Meddle" - though it occurs to me that if it's hidden, I may have it somewhere and not know about it.
The other anomaly with this box is that the film "La Vallee" ( Obscured By Clouds) is in French with no sub titles.

CNKD -the best thing about the Contin/uation set for me are the 10 BBC recordings from September and December 1967, with Syd Barrett still at the helm. The September set includes "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun" - which is great to have even if it is only about 3 minutes long. It's not that well recorded - it sounds as though someone taped it off a small mono radio by holding a microphone in front of the speaker. But what the heck.
I also like the alternative promo film for "Arnold Layne". But if you aren't that fussed about the Syd era, it's probably not worth getting. It's a long way, for better or worse, from the Dave Gilmour lineup of the band.

That re-recorded version of DSOTM you, mentioned , Alvarhanso, by Roger Waters sounds a bit of a travesty to me. Maybe he thinks of it as more of a solo album than one by Pink Floyd .

My first listen of Rush 3-24,25-81 and it’s awesome.
Comes as CD 2 and 3 of Moving Pictures 40th.

I assume that it’s the same recording that was on CD2 of the recently released DSOTM reissue.

I passed on the Early Years Box but got the individual mini Boxes for half the price (at that time). I figured that I could pass on the bonus Box since I didn’t need the two movies and already had the Echoes. Just went to Wikipedia to see what else was in that bonus Box and the article mentioned that some of the Blu-ray’s from the whole Box were defective and there was a recall from 2019-2020. Hope mine aren’t bad now, guess I’ll have to watch them all to check. Put that on the to do list.

David and Roger fighting.
DLR and Eddie VH fighting.
Inflated egos ruining good bands.
