PINK FLOYD
Hakone 1971 [no label, 2CD]
Live at Joufudai, Seikei University campus, Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan; August 6, 1971. Fairly to very good audience recording.
The Pink Floyd community must have been very happy when, after more than 40 years, news of the discovery of the August 7, 1971 Hakone show was recently announced. Alas, that was not the case. Instead, what fans got was a new source for the August 6, 1971 show.
Thanks to T Kuroshima who recorded the show; and to file_under for sharing the tracks at Dime.
file_under noted:
In 2015, an astonishing source has been discovered: A new recording of the first day of Hakone Aphrodite. Since there are already other three sources available, I name this “Recorder 4.” It should be noted that unlike the other sources, Echoes is totally uncut and includes Roger’s words, “This is the new piece, it’s called Echoes,” at the beginning. Also, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun is included for the first time ever.
The source, originally recorded in mono, was cut down to 60 minutes during the duplication and given to the original taper’s cousin. Unfortunately, the edited copy was improperly mixed into fake stereo (time delay one channel slightly), which caused the jumpiness in the audio. Though Recorder 4 has already been released by a bootlegger under the title of “HAKONE APHRODITE 1971: MASTER RECORDING (Sigma 138),” here I release it again with my best restoration of the above problem. My remaster uses the same digital copy as that of the bootleg.
The box of the tape says “August 7th, 1971,” but this date must be wrong because the taper of Recorder 3 included the same performance when he had attended only the first day of Hakone Aphrodite. In addition, according to the cousin of the taper of Recorder 4, he attended just one day, which means that Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun in this source is from the first day.
Given this new source, now the following must be the actual set list:
Atom Heart Mother
Green Is The Colour
Careful With That Axe, Eugene
Echoes
Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Cymbaline
A Saucerful Of Secrets
