Out of Print, Japanese Audiophile album.
"For many years, this double LP/CD was one of the most popular albums in 's pre-
output, containing a live disc and a studio disc all for the price of
one (in the LP version). The live set, recorded in Birmingham and
Manchester in June 1969, is limited to four numbers, all drawn from the
group's first two LPs or their then recent singles. Featuring the band's
second lineup (i.e., no ), the set shows off a very potent group, their sound held together on-stage by 's assertive drumming and '
powerful bass work, which keep the proceedings moving no matter how
spaced out the music gets; they also sound like they've got the
amplifiers to make their music count, which is more than the early band
had. "Astronomy Domine," "Careful with That Axe Eugene," "Set the
Controls for the Heart of the Sun," and "A Saucerful of Secrets" are all
superior here to their studio originals, done longer, louder, and
harder, with a real edge to the playing. The studio disc was more
experimental, each member getting a certain amount of space on the
record to make his own music -- 's "Sysyphus" was a pure keyboard work, featuring various synthesizers, organs, and pianos; 's "The Narrow Way" was a three-part instrumental for acoustic and electric guitars and electronic keyboards; and 's "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" made use of a vast range of acoustic and electric percussion devices. ' "Grantchester Meadows" was a lyrical folk-like number unlike almost anything else the group ever did."...
