In 1937, the new Winter Gardens, red-brick and solid, was opened as an indoor bowling-green. War intervened, and it was decided to convert it to a Concert Hall, in tradition with the site. Not built for music it had by chance a brilliant acoustic, which became famous. Alterations took place in the 1950s to improve the theatrical facilities. Well-dressed, the very wide proscenium stage platform is an attractive setting for variety shows and concerts, the audience capacity being greater than anywhere closer than the Southampton Mayflower. Two-thirds of the theatre seating is raked, giving excellent sight-lines. There is no fly-tower, but the stage, with entrances both sides, offers ample space for sets and tabs or rolled cloths. There are dressing room facilities. In pleasant gardens setting, with a long terrace outside the bar and cafe areas this could be a most attractive venue. In 1999, the local Council invited private developers to put forward proposals for the entire site, retaining the Winter Gardens, but no application was successful. In 2007 demolition consent was granted for the Winter Gardens, and the site cleared in preparation for a new mixed use development, incorporating two new auditoria.

Pink Floyd was obviously still working through "Money" at this show and fumbled through it. "Brain Damage" had the feel of a drunken frat house sing along. "Eclipse" is still a bunch of noise at the end of the show and nothing more.

I listened to this show on bright winter morning walk and could not find the whole boot, only Dark Side, due to no fault of my own.
