This seems to be hard to get, and that's a shame! The clear sound is only disturbed by some tape hiss. Very few crowd noise. "One Of These Days" is an absolute killer. The band was in a really fantastic mood this evening! For curiosity: "Echoes" is announced by Roger as: "Looking Through The Knotholes In Grannys Wooden Leg".

Recorded at Boblingen November 15th 1972, this reaches EX+ for sound tape source and packaging with notes on the show itself. This is a single CD (missing the Dark Side half of the show). -BD (#24)

I consider myself very lucky to have been able to get a copy of this one; I believe it may have been one of the first Floyd RoIOs to come out on CD. Other than some hiss (of the kind you stop noticing very quickly), the sound is very clear and full. All three tracks are good, but my favorite is CWTAE, with a first-rate mad-Scotchman act and some great screams by the inimitable Roger... - MT

I picked this up for 14 and it was well worth it, even though there are only three songs on it. One of These Days is thunderingly good. Careful With That Axe Eugene far exceeds the studio version - Roger is ranting away into an echo-drenched microphone, and Echoes is pretty much flawless... - Seb.
