Cucamonga

This is the real recording from radio broadcast of the 72-12-5 show ....or rather it's part of it. This was recently broadcasted on Belgian Radio1 ... I don't know of any other version of this show (old or new) apart this webstream. I'd bet (as obvious) that the archives have more of it!
Very nice pictish rants on CWTAE, soo nice to listen to the genuine recording of this gig at last! Unfortunately the DJ talks on Time and there's an interview mixed over the first notes of CWTAE ... this is how it was broadcasted.
Compression is perceptible on headphones of course (96K was the best quality available for the streaming unfortunately) but it has overall a nice sound quality, better than many remastered RoIOs... Some little fluctuations and distortions are present (not due to the web-stream but because of the original recording).
This should be from the same recorder/source as source 1 although, having different contents, I can't be 100% sure of it.
Is surely from the same concert as the known 1972 December 2 audience recording ...but it seems that this radio recording was taken at the 1972 December 5 gig, so either the Saint Ouen 1972 December 2 audience recording is mislabeled or is this radio source to have not the correct date... considering that a radio archive should be more reliable than fan's tape-labels my guess is that the 1972-12-05 date is the correct one.
Review from Brain-damage.co.uk:
Pink Floyd on Radio 1 Belgium
Last night saw an unusual, vintage recording of Pink Floyd, broadcast on Belgian radio.
As part of Radio 1 Belgium's Cucamonga show, excerpts from the band's 5th December 1972 concert at the Sport Palais Vorst Nationaal in Brussels were aired.
Whilst the sound quality wasn't fantastic, it was great to hear. Starting with a version of Time, that was typical of the 1972 performances (with a nice guitar solo), one also heard Breathe Reprise (slightly strained vocals from David Gilmour on this one). An excerpt from the hilarious 1969 interview they undertook in Blackpool, England for a university publication follows, and things are concluded with a well-paced version of Careful With That Axe, Eugene (which features a short passage of Roger's Scottish ranting!).
The show was streamed on their website, and if you wish to hear the recording for yourself, go to Radio 1's Cucamonga page, click on "Behister de jongste uitzending", and on the radio player that launches, select your chosen quality based on your bandwidth/connection speed. The Floyd segment comes just after an hour into the show. The show will be available for one week.
Our thanks to Bart Azare and Pol Van Acoleyen for letting us know about this rather unusual airing!
