From the US tour in the second half of 1971, the performance in Washington DC on November 16th is on 2CD from the best quality stereo audience master. First of all, this sound source has been released in various ways since the mid-90s, and the original master quality has been praised as being undoubtedly the best among 1971 sound sources. This time, instead of the generally distributed online sound source, it is a CD that has been digitized from a low generation master provided by an overseas taper, and it is different from other sources with excessive equalization and obvious deterioration. Incidentally, while the up-sound source by Neon Knight, familiar to Floyd sound source collectors, is said to be better on the Internet, this version is close to that version, and the noise reduction and poor sound quality that were of concern are generally clear and there is much less hiss noise overall. As a feature of previous sound sources, there were several parts on Disc 2 where the cut parts were re-recorded after going back to the previous parts, but this time such parts have been carefully edited, and the relevant parts have been restored as uncut, especially the intros of "Eugene", "Cymbaline", and "Echoes", and the applause part in the middle of "Cymbaline" are as smooth as possible. In addition, the left channel of "Fat Old Sun" was turned off halfway through, so it was made mono so that it didn't feel strange, and detailed editing was carried out. And as a bonus track, "Mystery" from the New York performance on November 5th from the same tour was added. On this tour, "Blues" or "Mystery" was played as an encore, so the song that was not played on this day was added, and although the quality is inferior to the main Washington performance, it is a good level of mono audience recording, so this is also worth checking out, for a total of 137 minutes.
