Without any set up, what you need to know is that if you enjoy Pink Floyd on any level, this set from Sigma is absolutely 'definitive' and a must have.  Don't even hesitate or think about it, seek it out and play it loud! And, if you see Dave Gilmour or Roger Waters...prompt them to grab this and release it officially - as, it's THAT good! 

This tape has been in circulation for as long as I can recall and I have several iterations dating back to Great Dane's "In The Flesh" 2CD from 1991, as well as having captured the Wolfgang's Vault streaming audio which is incomplete and is NOT a soundboard tape as they claim.  But, the WV version was perhaps as good of a version that's been available though it was edited, etc.  Sigma have trumped all and have clearly presented what actually should be an official release so that ALL rock enthusiasts can appreciate how damn good the band were performing live in '77.  Everything here is tops and nary a blemish, aside from the unfortunate double mike-bumping by David Gilmour during the intro vocals to "Wish You Were Here" and a couple of minor, brief amp buzzing moments. 

The tape leveraged by Sigma is virtually complete and offers such a wonderfully wide stereo landscape with great separation, the 3 discs have hardly left my side and are in every player I am near.  I am fascinated and completely blown away at how good this is.  The total timing of the discs seem to match other previously issued titles such as "Plays The Animals" as a whole but the quality here is head and shoulders above anything to come before it.  One could argue that with the timing of each of the discs, the recording could fit on to 2CDs vs. 3, but in this case having the 1st and 2nd sets on separate discs, and then the encores on the 3rd, makes sense when you sit down and listen through. It doesn't bother me at all. Because the performance and energy by the band is stellar, having a complete tape of 1977 touring Floyd in this quality makes it easily a solid top 10 for 2009 - regardless of what the rest of the year brings.  I think I've raved enough and you get the point.  With the few warts included in the tape and performance, it is still a superb acquisition and needs to be in any collection. 

Sigma utilizes a simple graphical representation of live 1977 tour shots that represent the contents adequately. This is one of those tapes that would be cool to have a more deluxe treatment but the fact that it is more basic will hopefully allow more collectors to get their hands on it!
