Notes Tracks 1-13: Rainbow Theater, Finsbury Park, London. November 4th, 1973.
Tracks 14, 15: Abbey Road Studios, London. Sometime during 1972/73.
Tracks 14, 15 are taken from the 80 min version of 'Live At Pompeii'.

The version I received has no artwork and no bonus track, only a ticket stub scan. But as you can see the weird way the last tracks are split and the running time leaves no doubt about the origin of what I have. I don't miss those bonus tracks anyway as they are IMO absolutely useless here, and commonly available on every Pompei voio and a couple of other roio's.

Historical note: first time since years and last time ever PF performed the same night with their friends of Soft Machine (apart from Nick Mason who occasionally drumed for Wyatt in solo and Wyatt singing on Mason's Fictitious Sports). This is the second show (9pm) of that evening. The title comes of course from the fact this was a concert in benefit for former Soft Machine frontman Robert Wyatt who had broke his spine recently (he fell from a 3rd floor window during a party). Very last concert of that 1973 year for PF, before their 74 French tour. Last time a tune from the soundtrack of La Vallée was played. OBC here runs veeeeery slow, but it is not the tape, they played it like that! Really worth to get for OBC/When You're In, since those are the best versions in terms of SQ and probably performance too.

Released on label Ganja, #14, the SQ is EX-. Lineage: AUD[LOW]>SILVER CD>CDR
