NOTES:

On 07Aug87, a TV crew filmed Pink Floyd rehearsing for the upcoming world tour (the tour started on 09Sep87 in Ottawa), inside a big hangar at Pearson Airport, Toronto. The total length of these rushes filmed during the band's rehearsals is around 55 minutes.

Two different mono audio tracks were recorded by the TV cameras: one directly from the soundboard, the other being simply the audio recorded by the cameras microphones (technically very similar to an audience recording).

The present recording comes from an audio transfer from the master Betacam videotapes. The soundboard source was used as much as possible, the exceptions being On The Turning Away, One Of These Days and Time, for which only the audience track seems to have been recorded (the worst sound quality is during Time, when the camera was filming from the right side of the stage, capturing a strange mix of sound coming from both the main speakers and the musicians monitors).

The audio was carefully mastered (levels adjustments, editing, slight EQ, and manual cleaning of some buzzes here and there). This mastering was also used for the SBD audio track on "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason Rehearsals" DVD authored by JME from Cochon Production.

Apart from Signs Of Life, the songs are incomplete and there are cuts during some of them (the TV crew didn't film continuously). However, songs like Echoes, Learning To Fly, The Dogs Of War and Wish You Were Here, are very enjoyable because they are captured almost completely.

And the sound quality of the soundboard tracks is just fantastic!
