And here we finally have it, the actual MASTER of Knebworth, transferred in 2006 to DAT directly from
the Master Cassettes by the recorder himself, a self-proclaimed grumpy old bastard who is actually
a supremely generous individual--and to whom we owe much gratitude not only for providing the master
DAT, but for recording the concert 31 years ago. Additional kudos to fatoldpig who communicated with
the recorder and received the DAT from England for release by Pinkroioshn.
Unfortunately, the DAT was recorded at fairly low volume, so that a significant boost of the levels was
necessary. As a result, there is a bit more hiss in these 31 year old cassettes than there should be.
No noise reduction was performed, however, in order to maintain the recording in its purest form.
Additionally, absolutely no edits were done, so that this flac file contains all the lengthy tune-ups, stage
chatter, and indeed the entire event as it was captured by the recorder that day. The Floyd surely took
their time at this concert. This is the final performance of the Dark Side of the Moon suite by the
four-man Pink Floyd.
DAT Master acquired for Pinkroioshn label by fatoldpig.

Further notes from the Recorder as posted at Dimeadozen:
The taper and friends are not heard on this recording. People nearby are heard
chatting. 'More music and less audience' hmm... I only missed 30 secs while I turned
the tape over. Not bad for a show that was 160 odd minutes, but we are talking about
the Floyd community here and they seem to moan about just about everything.
BTW the original master tape has no cut in DSOTM
