I would normally take option C, because this IS one album. But disc one is one of the very best live performances of all time, and one of my favorite Floyd albums. So I vote "A". ------------- If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance! |

Two different sides on the same coin really. The album would not be the same if one set was left out. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

It IS one album! so C!! but if I had to choose between the two, then the live one would be my choice! But really, I like to listen to it as a whole, since it is one album! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Philrod/?chartstyle=Geldropdown-small">

even though i have bootlegs that cover it, the live still beats the studio. Interestingly, some people believe the live album was re-recorded in the studio and dubbed with crowd noises. -------------   |

| The live, without any doubt. There are some good tracks on the studio side (notably Waters' Grantchester Meadows), but as a whole I find it rather hard going. The live side, however, is a masterpiece. |

The live side is a good interpretation of very good tracks from the
previous albums (well,without Careful With The Axe,Eugene,I guess)...

I've always viewed it as two albums .. and I've been kind of sad that the Floyd put them out together ... The superb live album is just about my favourite live album of all time ... And I think the studio set is distinctly inferior to the other albums that surrounded it ie. Piper, Saucer, Atom Heart Mother and Meddle (I exclude the More soundtrack) ... If I were using PA ratings it would be a 5 for the live and a 3 for the studio ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century.

The live set is essential stuff, live versions of some of Floyd's best early works which sound better than the original studio takes (especially Saucerful). The studio album mostly sounds like they're stumbling around in search of some ideas. There are a few ok moments, but I bet they cringe when they hear it these days. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Hmm, I realy don't think this album should be considered as a whole, because the live album as few to do with the studio one : the live song are psychedelic songs that PF played since one year and more and are the result of the perpetual collaboration between the 4 players and the studio songs are experimental songs written only by one of the member of the group. But anyway, for me, the live album is better; in fact, it's one of the greatest live album I ever heard. CwtAE is pure madness, I have always shivers when Waters start to scream ! And of all the live versions I have heard on several bootleg, ASoS of Ummagumma is the best one, the final is just to beautiful. Of course, the studio is good too and there are there some really great moments : Sysyphus, pt. 4; Grantchester Meadows; The Narrow Way, pt. 3. |
