Pink Floyd Pink Floyd/CA,USA 1971 3rd Generation New Transfer

PINK FLOYD in 1971, evolving rock every night. A surprising upgraded master has been discovered on this legendary recording, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It will be released on 2CDs with the highest peak updated sound, "GRAF ZEPPELIN." This work is engraved with the "October 17, 1971 San Diego performance." It is a superb audience recording. 1971 was a revolutionary era, with the "ATOM HEART MOTHER Tour" and "MEDDLE Tour" switching over, and the film "LIVE AT POMPE II" also remaining. Since slight differences in time can have very different meanings, let's first (as always) confirm this work's position by looking at the overview of its activities at the time. "ATOM HEART MOTHER Tour" January 17th - February 27th: Europe # 1 (10 performances) ← * M-502 and others April 3rd - July 1st: Europe # 2 (20 performances) ← * BRESCIA 1971 and others August 6th - 15th: Japan / Australia (5 performances) ← * OSAKA 1971 and others September 18th - October 3rd: Europe # 3 (7 performances) ← * MONTREUX 1971 {October 4th - 7th: Filmed in Pompeii} October 10th + 11th: UK (2 performances) "MEDDLE Tour" October 15th - November 20th: North America (27 performances) ← ★ Here ★ The new master who achieved the unexpected "surpassing the 1st generation" This is PINK FLOYD in 1971. Filming for the movie "LIVE AT POMPE II" took place in October 1971, and the "MEDDLE Tour" kicked off the following week. This San Diego performance was the third concert in the series' early days. This show is famous for the historic recordings it produced. Its incredible sound has made it a staple of the "MEDDLE Tour" since the LP era. This latest release marks the pinnacle of this legacy. Its true identity is the 3rd generation master, recently released by renowned collector "Neonknights." Dedicated collectors might be wondering, "Wait, wait! The best is the 1st generation, right?" In fact, according to recording artist "Gordon S.", the original reel has already been lost, and his own 1st is considered the best. The depth of vintage recordings lies in the fact that generation isn't everything. Sound quality varies depending on various factors, including the condition of the tape, the equipment used during dubbing, and the accuracy of the transfer process. While there's no doubt that the overall trend is "younger generation = better sound," that's merely a guideline and a guideline. There's no absolute rule for the results of each master; the only way to confirm it is to actually listen to the sealed sound. And in the case of the "October 17, 1971 San Diego Performance," the "3rd Generation tape is best." Of course, this isn't just something we're saying; it's the consensus of the collector community, as stated on the specialist site "Reavong Drooling." In fact, the sound is rich and dense. While the previous 1st Generation recordings were top-notch, this new master offers even more information and a dramatically improved three-dimensional feel. Its power is evident from the opening line, "Eugene, Beware the Axe." In the intro, various instruments intertwine with the icy keyboard, but the previous master mixed synths and other instruments, creating a single, slab-like ensemble. However, this work features a single synth sound alone, with other instruments dancing above and below it. Although they sound simultaneously, they overlap, but do not blend together, creating a multi-layered soundscape. Of course, this is just one example; the freshness of the new master can be felt throughout the entire album. I've been repeating the phrase "Gene isn't everything," and this upgraded sound speaks volumes. This is one of the greatest performances on the MEDDLE Tour. Such a rich, dynamic sound depicts a stage overflowing with the ingenuity and imagination of the new tour, just as it began. This show is known as one of the best performances on the MEDDLE Tour, and its merits and flavors are more vividly felt than ever before. For example, in "Eugene," the ebb and flow of the keyboards in the first half flow smoothly, while in the following "Fat and Staggering Sun," the surprisingly rare distant bell sounds are clearly discernible, and the BBC-esque keyboard phrases are also exquisite. In the second half, "Cymbaline" is the highlight. In addition to the footsteps during the interlude, the album also includes the laughter of a woman and the hustle and bustle of the crowd, each of which flows into your brain with unprecedented three-dimensionality and detail, building a "1971 sound world" inside your skull. The "latest transfer of the 3rd generation" surpasses the 1st generation, a surprising feat. This 2CD press preserves its beauty forever. Who would have thought that a classic recording recorded in the 70s and known since the 80s would inspire new emotions in 2025? This new masterpiece not only brings the 1971 PINK FLOYD sound world into your own home, but also inspires awe at the depths of rock archive culture. This is a superb audience recording of the "October 17, 1971 San Diego Performance." The 3rd generation master, recently released by renowned collector "Neonknights," completely surpasses the sound of the 1st generation, which was previously considered the best. The increased information volume and dramatically improved three-dimensionality create a layered soundscape that is unique to FLOYD. This cultural heritage album allows you to experience one of the most outstanding performances from the "MEDDLE Tour" in unprecedented, beautiful sound. The latest 2025 transfer! This is the definitive San Diego performance, known since the LP era on a TOASTED vinyl! While the previous release in 2015 featured the 1st Gen sound source, this time it's the 3rd Gen. However, even Floyd specialty websites consider this 3rd Gen sound source to be the best sound quality, and when you listen to it, it's the latest transfer, resulting in a thicker, denser, and more detailed sound. In the past, the lower-level sound sources sometimes sounded better than the higher-level ones, as in the 1970 Rotterdam performance, and this time it's a similar pattern. The right-leaning phase shift that was noticeable early on in the previous release has also been largely improved, making this the definitive version of this performance!
