An incomplete recording, but the sound is very good nonetheless. Some pastoral sound effects (birds, etc.) signal the beginning of 'Fat Old Sun,' which once again includes a fine instrumental. ‘Atom Heart Mother’ includes the strange keyboard riffs Wright played when the piece was first performed in early 1970 before moving into the standard arrangement. A good version of 'The Embryo' includes a faster break during the instrumental, something that will be characteristic of this whole tour. An odd backwards message during the second verse of 'Cymbaline' seems to have been done by the bootleggers rather than the band themselves.
