The man/The Journey

Well if you don't mind mp3s then use KaZaA, just keep them off the hub.

And if you're caught sharing SHNs that were sourced from mp3 then you'll be immediately banned without opportunity for parole...

The Man & The Journey was best captured live on the excellent sbd recording from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Holland 9-17-69.

There are two boot versions of this recording (both sourced from a pre-FM master) that could pass as "the definitive" edition:

"Amsterdam '69" (Harvested label)
"Complete Concertgebouw" (FRP label)

Previous releases of this recording used the inferior-sounding, vinyl-sourced broadcast version, which didn't include the complete concert.

If there's a better sounding pre- 1970 Floyd live recording, I haven't heard it. The quality is ex, comparable to the fantastic sbd sources found on "Interstellar Fillmore" & "Smoking Blues". Essential stuff for sure.

better than Ummagumma?

Hell yes. Ummagumma was a bad idea, they should have stuck with the Man/Journey format for a live album. Plus the sound quality on "Amsterdam 69" blows Ummagumma out of the water.

in terms of sound/recording quality, I wouldn't say that it blows Ummagumma away, they're comparable. It is however, in a class by itself amongst pre-'70 boot material.

As much as I appreciate & enjoy the live Ummagumma, there are at least a couple of boots that have comparable quality & possibly better performances of that material. There are no other recordings that give us a complete "Man & The Journey" set in the quality of the Amsterdam '69 definitive.

In my opinion, as far as excessive tape hiss, wonky stereo imaging and clumsy editing go, Amsterdam 69 has Ummagumma beat.

Edit: Never mind, I'm thinking of "Definitive Man and the Journey" not "Amsterdam 69". Same show, different source, better sound.

I have a complete version of the piece simply entitled "The man/The journey". "amsterdam 69" is not a complete performance from what i see.

This is what you should be seeing for "Amsterdam '69" & it is complete--- although, some people might put it all on one disc:

I read somewhere that Harvested's edition has a slightly edited/cut walking section during Cymbaline.

I'm not familiar with the two cd's you mentioned but they appear intriguing. Mine is only 1 cd, and I think that "teatime" is edited out of mine.

Anyway, how could I get good quality RoIO's to trade on the hub?
