There are times when the planets align, and everything goes right. There are also times when history repeats itself. Both phenomena occurred on May 30, 2007 at Madison Square Garden, as Roger Waters returned to New York for the tail end of the lengthy Dark Side of the Moon tour. As in September, the concert was superb, and as you’ll find below, the recording conditions were optimal.
I recorded this concert from almost the exact position as the September 12, 2006 recording, and used comparable equipment. As a result, the recording is a faithful capture of the soundscape in the best sonic seat in the house–absolute center, about 30 feet in front of the Soundboard.
This recording is no longer available at nyctaper. You can probably find it on several sites on the web.

BruNo.
thanks for the Waters shows…
loved your Sept MSG show and I’ve been diggin’ on the Meadowlands show all week- I have friends who went to this one, for them to be able to download and listen is a dream come true for them, way cool!
thank you Dan! it seems perfect to me to have the night of a blue moon be my download from this tour. which i just saw in Philly last night and have to say i liked MUCH more inside rather than in a shed pavilion.
Excellent recording. Thanks for making this available.
Fantastic recording. Who needs an official release!!
Dan, what can I say? This recording is really superb! And you give it for everybody to download! THAT’s what I call generosity!
Million thanks !!!
oh go… thank you so much. I’ve missed the show at quebec city for personnal reason and a change of date but your share gave me a medicine…
thank you Dan, your generousity is much appreciated! :-) Your nyctaper site blog is really well orgainzed, I’m impressed! Kudos for all of your efforts, and for sharing your astounding recordings as well.
Many thanks (even ‘many thanks’ cannot compare for all that you do). I feel honored to be privledged to your resources.
fix xx~ (-_-x)
Thanks worlds! It was a great show and this will be nice to have to remember it.
Awesome, thanks alot. I’ve been looking for this all over and I finally found it. Sounds amazing.
hiya mate,
just to say hello and thanks for this piece of excellent download. regards from a SUNNY Norway (Oslo). Cheers
To Dan, I was the who made a comment on the Dime going on about the Philly Show 6-1-07 being the best show to date, I was wrong, dead wrong. Your Dark Side Show 5-30-07 you posted is friggin great. I have your 9-12-06 show and knew I would not be disappointed with the sound quality of this show. The Band was a year tighter. You were right the DPA’s are the best. Your upload was easy to use also. Thank You, your efforts are really appreciated down in Philly. By the way, your show is now posted on the Dime.
I forgot to mention that you have a great site, Good Luck.
Hey Dan!
Thanks for another winner.
Smokin’ d/l speed from this site!
!!
king
Yah…this is good!
Many thanks Dan for this wonderful sounding recording :) Thanks again…
Wow! Wonderful quality! Was that 2006 show comparable? I wish I had know about this place before! Thanks again!
Sadly I missed an opportunity to see Roger Waters in California so I definitely appreciate this. I am 38 years old and I first saw Pink Floyd at the ripe age of 12 for The Wall tour at Nassau Collesium. To this very day it was the very best concert I have ever been to. A dream of mine is for the gang to go back on tour as Pink Floyd, especially after seeing them during the Live 8 performance. One can only dream …

Thanks for making and sharing another top notch recording. Excellent site too, btw. Cheers. :-)
Great job. Very enjoyable
***** recording. Great stuff!
Thank you very much for taping this show and sharing it with all of us. It is an excellent recording!
Thanks Dan,
I attended the Hartford show a couple of weeks ago and have since been searching for a definitive recording to listen to remind me of that experience. I think yours might be THE one.
thanks for sharing!!
this is truly the great art of recording.
superb sound!
