My pleasure, LMP!
And yep, xavi, I've got a few. I don't have very many early Pink Floyd shows, but I did rip the audio from my Live At Pompeii DVD (which is amazing, you should buy it.) It's not live in the traditional sense because there was no audience around when they recorded their performances. The music itself was recorded live, though. So no pesky screaming from the audience to destroy the perfection that is Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. Listen for Rick Wright's crazy keyboard section in the middle!
Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii version (1972)

Roger's version has always been very different to the original version he wrote for Pink Floyd. It's a lot more...I don't know what the word is! "More rocking" in the middle, I suppose. I still prefer the Floyd version, but his is very good too. YSI is being a tremendous pain in the arse right now and it doesn't seem to want to let me upload the song. Never mind, I'll try later. I've also got a video for you from an early Floyd concert. It's a brilliant performance! I'll have it up for you ASAP, xavi.
As for the youtube videos, yep, I've seen them. I'd advise against watching them, however... Roger seems to be having some severe vocal problems right now, which is to be expected because he's a lot older and hasn't done a major tour for a few years. In that first show at Rio, he even had to use backing tracks to help him out on a few songs because his voice was so shot. I'm pretty confident, however, that his voice will improve as he gets back into the swing of things again. At least I hope it will. I don't know why on earth he feels he has to struggle through difficult PF songs when he could easily do more of his solo work. It would be a million times easier on his voice. Come on, Roger, you're not 36 anymore, you're almost 63. I'm amazed he was able to sing the way he did in his 40s and in some respects, a little disappointed, because it has obviously taken its toll on him.
