Notes

Live at Royal Festival Hall, South Bank, London, England April 14th 1969.

Track 1: 'Daybreak' (6.16) is another name for 'Grantchester Meadows', and features
beautiful piano solos from Wright and high harmony vocals from Gilmour on
the chorus, similar to the shortened version they played for BBC's
"Nightride" program a month later.
Track 2: 'Work' (8.39) is an experimental piece made up of percussion and sound
effects of trains or machines or something. It runs a bit long, perhaps.
Track 3: 'Afternoon' (5.25) is a version of 'Biding My Time', and a very cool and
different one too, with a nice piano intro by Wright and great jamming at the end.
Track 4: 'Doing It' (5.18): This was a pleasant surprise, with very agressive
drumming by Mason, and organ added on the top. It is similiar in style to
'Up The Khyber', the only PF song written by Mason/Wright.
Track 5: 'Sleep & Nightmare' (10.55): The first minutes of this piece are similiar
to Amsterdam 17/9/69, with heavy breathing and strange psychedelic noises,
but instead of 'Cymbaline', we then just get more instrumental ambience, dominated by Wright's spacey organ.
Track 6: Daybreak 2 (2.08): This is just a collage of soundeffects; birds, ticking clocks and the other usual suspects.
Track 7: 'The Beginning' (4.35) is another name for 'Green is the Colour', and is
similiar to the studio version with aucustic guitar and piano. You can hear
sound effects of seagulls and splashing waves, and the whole thing gives heavy associations to a lazy beach idyll.
Track 8: As we get 'Beset by Creatures of the Deep' (8.25), there seems to be storm
coming up; we hear strong wind, and the splashing waves becomes more
menacing. This version of 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' is an unusual one, with piano during the first two minutes.
Track 9: The Narrow Way (4.45) features a cool, psychedelic guitar lead from
Gilmour, but the vocals are almost inaudible during the chorus part.
Track 10: The Pink Jungle (4.17) is different from the Amsterdam show, since they
don't play 'Pow R. Toc H.', but instead a drum beat with animal noises (part Waters, part pre-recorded) added on the top.
Track 11: 'The Labyinths of Auximenes' (8.30) has more weird improvisation. It is different from the Amsterdam 17/9/69 show, but has a footstep sequence.
Track 12: 'Behold the Temple Of Light' (6.41) This instrumental has sometimes been
described as an intrumental version of 'The Nile Song', but that is just
plain false. This version is quite similar to Amsterdam 17/9/69, and while
it isn't terribly interesting on it's own, it works well within the context.
Track 13: 'The End of the Beginning' (4.53): The last half of ASOS (which includes
Storm Signal and not only Celestial Voices) provides a majestic finale to a
truly magnificent journey.
