LDB Master Series #422

Welcome to my Master Series which started way back in November 2005. This series is only about masters, concerts I
recorded myself either from audience or from radio/TV broadcasts. Occasionally I could also share masters that have
been kindly given to me by many friends and fellow tapers I have been meeting during my long career of live taping.

I have stopped seeding my masters after volume 400 about three years ago and since then I have shared just a few,
mostly to address requests from friends. I have not stopped recording shows, though, so there is quite an impressive
amount of files from my recordings that are yet uncirculated.

I have taken the liberty to look at those uncirculated masters and selected ten which I thought were special for some
reasons. They will be seeded over here. Hope you will enjoy them!

I don't think I have ever seeded this one. That was the first Porcupine Tree show in Milan. In 1995 the band played a
few cities but not there. That was the Signify tour and the band still fairly unknown back then. There must have been 100
people, I think. The band played well but I do not recall an exceptional show.

Also, my Sony Professional recorder had died a few days earlier while recording the third show at the Frontiera and I had
to ask a friend to borrow his. But it was not as good as mine: it was a Sony recorder with embedded microphone and with
a button that allowed you to flip the tape side without extracting the tape. So the quality is not what you would expect
from my masters. I had my machine repaired just in time for the october tour!

Pretty standard setlist with the performance of Cryogenics. I believe this is the last performance of that track live.

Enjoy another piece of history.
