Notes: Pink Floyd 21 Nov 1970 Montreux Casino, Montreux Smoking Blues boot Disc: 1 01) Astronomy Domine 10:35 02) Fat Old Sun 14:07 03) Atom Heart Mother 18:36 Total Time: 43:20 Disc: 2 01) Cymbaline 11:41 02) Embryo 13:09 03) Just Another Twelve Bar 5:30 04) More Blues (fades out) 9:17 Total Time: 39:40 Comments: 21nov70 - Montreux AD, FOS, Cym, AHM, TE, GitC/CWTAE, StCftHotS, ASOS encore: IO 22nov70 - Montreux AD, FOS, Cym, AHM, TE, GitC/CWTAE, StCftHotS, ASOS encore: Just Another 12 Bar, Blues The most important thing is Disc2, Track 3 "Just Another Twelve Bar" It's the first available recording of this bluesnumber "Both Montreux shows were recorded and EMI pressed white label acetates which included interviews with Gilmour in French. However, it it likely that these would have been intended as promotional tools, not for commercial release. 'Just Another 12 Bar' is a title shown on the acetate and is simply an improvised blues instrumental." The CD roio Smoking Blues is apparently from these acetates and has tracks from both performances This is a soundboard recording and well worth seeking out, but one can see why it was not released. Dave has one of his trademark laughing attacks during FOS. During the closing segment of Cymbaline (after the footsteps sequence) there is a particularly bad and prolonged problem with the sound system, causing Dave to burst into laughter once again. Roger introduces the show with a 'good morning' and introduces More Blues with remarks about it being 'too late for mind expanding music, so we'll play some music to calm down by,' presaging his words years later before the concluding encore of the infamous Montreal '77 concert. The crowd is quiet. VERY quiet. You simply don't hear anyone talking in the footsteps scene of "Cymbaline". Boy, what did I miss in those old days! After that, people come to life but don't spoil the record but instead give it a true feeling of being there. Incredible. The most remarkable song "Just Another Twelve Bar" is unique. It is faded in, so the beginning is missing, as is the ending of "More Blues". This version of "Embryo" is also a must for every fan. The Embryo: Best live version I have heard. Harder-edged than the Picnic/Works demo, but still has the other-worldly aspect I love. Dave does the Echoes seagulls here. The first blues is not just a simple blues. In fact it is not a blues, it is "Biding my Time" ! But as the lyrics are edited out, you just have the bridge part and coda. But it is really. After the piece The Man & The Journey shifted out of the Floyd repertoire, BMT was sometime played as a single piece with an extra long jam after the verse (listen to Water's gate LP) To me, this is the definitive 1970 RoIO! Of course, the BBC session (see "Libest Spacement Monitor") is also an excellent performance from that year (and with a little bit better sound quality). But, this time, we have a full concert. This is the best soundboard quality I ever heard for a concert from that year. It's particulary interesting to hear "Atom Heart Mother" without the brass section. BTW, the bass line of "Just Another Twelve Bar" is in fact the bass line from the second part of "Biding My Time". The song is slightly different. It's more bluesy, and there's no trombone All comments from this link -> http://www.pf-roio.de/roio/roio-cd/smoking_blues.cd.html
