@@lucalone there were a number of soundboard recordings made in 1977,the problem is that nobody knows where they are,Roger and Nick have been trying to locate them for several years 🐷🐷🐷
Felt that way when I first heard this live 15+ years ago. Still feel that way more than ever. And that’s coming from a deadhead. I eat guitar solos for breakfast. Nothing will ever top this.
I attended this show as 16 y/o I had 3rd row floor seats.... it was bar none the most epic show of my 61 years walking the earth, and I have seen some things!
I'm 54yrs old now born in 1969 and 1st got into Floyd whilst at school 1st year of High School when the The Wall was released.! Me and my mates used to listen to the album every night after school smoking weed, giggling and laughing are tits off.! That got me started in becoming a Pink Floyd fanatic 😵💫 I was lucky enough to see Floyd 1st time at Earls Court in October 1994 Pulse Tour.!! Took a 100 magic mushrooms 🍄 in the car on the way down from Liverpool, we got lost and were zigzagging across London trying to find Earls Court, eventually whilst the driver and the four of us in the car were getting stressed thinking we were never going to find Earls Court in London and the concert was starting in half hour anyways I was in the back seat tripping my head off when I looked outta the window and saw Pink Floyd in green writing in the sky.! Coz I was really tripping big time I thought I was hallucinating the writing in the sky, so for 10mins I kept quite as I didn't wanna look like a dickhead hallucinating writing in the sky making myself look like a dick to my mates.! Anyways eventually I plucked up the courage and told a couple of my mates that I'm hallucinating writing of Pink Floyd in the sky..!! So my mates looked up to were I was imaging Pink Floyd in the sky and then 1 of my mates said you f**n idiot that's lazers coming from the roof of Earls Court saying Pink Floyd, the band had done this so concert goers would be able to find Earls Court in the middle of London so you could find the Stadium..!! My mates went apeshit towards me as I'd been staring at the Pink Floyd writing for over 15/20mins without saying anything to my mates as I thought I was hallucinating and didn't wanna look like a wierdo hallucinating something that isn't there just in my own head..!! 🤪🤪🤪 It was the Greatest Concert I'd ever seen + the band played nearly 3hours cos it was the rearranged concert from the weak before when all the temporary seating collapsed.! Animals is my favourite Floyd album ever and I was lucky enough to go to Roger's last 2 tours in Birmingham 2018 'This Is Not A Drill Tour' and was overjoyed when the band came out for the beginning of Set2 playing Dogs (Battersea Power Station rising up from the ground 200feet in the air from the front of the stage to the back of the Stadium and 200feet long from stage to the back of the Stadium, absolutely mind-blowing + I'd had a couple of Mollys and then after "Dogs" the band and Roger played "Pigs (3 Different Ones)"..!! And went to Roger's last Tour in Birmingham "Is This The Life We Really Want" Tour 2023...And was beyond my wildest dreams as the band and Roger played "Sheep", so I can die happy as I've seen virtually the whole album Animals played live except "Pigs on the Wing (Parts 1+2)... 🐕🐖🐑
Yeah, I like it too. It may not sound pretty but it is so powerful. You can almost feel the desperation in the way he sings "So have a good drown / As you go down / All alone / Dragged down by the stone.
Pretty much everything is better on the live recording. Especially Pigs. I was a big fan of Animals before hearing this bootleg, but this took it to a whole new universe.
This is the best representation of Dogs live, due to the sound quality and the fact that it is an above average performance but the vocal is kinda shaky on this date. Fort Worth, Boston, and Miami may be better.
Vincent Wierda That raw energy is what made the 77 tour their best since 1972. 73-75 they just sound bored. In 1977 they were revitalized and brought it. This is best exemplified by Nick’s drums being the best and liveliest he had played for many years.
I wish Pink Floyd had put out a live album from this tour. They were at their prime form on this tour..the bootlegs sound so good. You'd get the whole Animals and Wish You Were Here albums live and a few Dark Side additions sprinkled in.
Snowy White was part of the band on this tour, as I recall, and a fine supporting band member he was too, playing some impressive guitar solos along side Gilmour
David Slowhand...So was Dick Parry and Claire Torre'... I finagled "back-stage press pass" for when I saw them in Houston Texas about 2 months earlier.... Side Note : Roger Waters was already an @$$hole, even back then. David Gilmour and the rest of the band were the most humble, cordial, and engaging "famous" musicians I've ever been around...!!!
Are you sure about simplicity? Look at all these covers on youtube! None is even close to Dave's playing. I used to think Another Brick in the Wall p.2 solo is simple. Then i watched for the russien guitarist's review on that. It is not as simple as it seems. David plays so clean, that it's music you hear. Thats the reason!
@@gljuk058 exactly And as another example you can look at all of ^dogs^ that he plays At 6:10 or 6:11 his kinda pinch harmonic RAKE stuff... Go and watch covers no one has ever come close like him.. Also Run like hell 2016pompei (also at pulse REMASTERED) At the intro no one ever to cover that part up the part where it sound like glasses shattering
@@poyakhajei2585 Yeah he does some stuff like every great guitarist, that no one can replicate exactly. The fast solos during the verses in Dogs are very untypical Gilmour kinda too fast for him actually, but fit the song nicely and he never played anything quite like it ever again. The whole Animals sound on the tour especially is much more aggressive than Gilmour usually sounds, fairtly fascinating to me.
That was on point. Animals deserves a revival like DSOTM and The Wall.. bleak cityscape and it almost rewrites itself given the state of the world and how much changed in the past 50 years since this was released. OMG I'm old!! 54 and genx strong
@@cbennett196631 musically and lyrically Animals is the best album by Floyd because of the intelligent lyrics commenting on the state of World Affairs and Musically all 4 band members were at their absolute peak..!! Most ppl say DSOTM and WYWH are their 1/2 favourite Floyd album's but I think that's because they were hyped miles more than Animals.. And l love them 2 album's too but when you really listen to Animals and understand the concept of the Album, you realise how much Animals was at another level
How amazing it must have been to be there. Also, Animals is one of Pink Floyd's finest works. If anyone thought in 1977 that Pink Floyd had lost their edge, this album must have proved them wrong. The music is FEROCIOUS, and the sounds Gilmour made with his guitar cements his status as a guitar god of the highest order.
C'est vrai que les morceaux live d'animals sont très percutant,et la guitare de Gilmour omniprésente fait des merveilles, peut être les meilleurs concerts de Floyd , enfin avis personnel,je dis que les 4 membres du groupe sont vraiment a leurs places, Floyd à fait du rock et du bon,pas seulement du rock progressif,de toute façon ils pouvaient joués de tous,et ils l'ont démontrés🎸🎸🔥🔥
It's funny you should say that. I was there at that concert in 77 and the only thing I remember about the concert (I was on acid BTW) is that the drumming was otherworldly. I don't know why that is the thing that stands out in my mind, but it is. Mason's timing was so impeccable and right on, the band was so tight to his drumming, that's all I remember. It might have been that I had recently decided that drumming was going to be my instrument of choice. I sang, played guitar, and drums. But I only had real talent on the drums. So that may be why.....
@@thebetternobs That was mostly a combination of the Big Muff + Mistress and his Yamaha rotating speakers actually or the rotating speakers with a Big Muff alone ;) Not that dark IMO but very liquid/swirly.
@@Goldhand28 woow it really is... ive totally forgotten about the Yamaha RA200 rotary speaker ... still one of my favourite gears.. I'd like to own one someday
My mom saw them play at Cleveland Municipal Stadium for this tour the year before I was born. She said a jet airplane flew kind of low over the stadium and as everyone was watching it fade into the distance out comes the Boys onto the stage and everyone turned back around from watching the jet to hearing glorious epic Floyd. If there's a heaven i want to experience all of these shows for eternity.
Yes! They just knew how to let the beat build in your body and they would let it build and swell and then just crash it down on you and it surges through you before they take you soaring through space. I used to always say Pink Floyd is the first drug I ever took.
...This Show was my Live Introduction to Pink Floyd....It was a turning point ....Never before or since ( and I've done 40+ years of shows of all shapes and sizes indoors and out ) ...Has an Expirence Touched me so deep ....My Soul was released to wander ..thankyou for the memories ....
@@cbennett196631 damn. Being so miserable must suck. Ive seen a lot of snarky and honestly pointless comments on several posts. Like you make the choice to read the whole post and comment. If you don't want to read peoples opinions and stories, I would suggest not opening the comment section and just enjoy this truly beautiful performance.
How did you got this bootlegs to sound THIS GOOD. Its awesome. Never heard shows from this era so clearly. Sounds almost official. Thank you so much!!!
dude ,1 recuerda que el sonido era cuadrofonico durante los conciertos, 2 el taper sabia lo que hacia, 3 la transferencia del cassette fue hecha en 24/96 .
Best live album NEVER released. If Pink Floyd had released this anytime in the past they would have generated millions of dollars of revenue. The 1974 bootleg 'raving & drooling' went 'gold' in the UK it was that hot. This show is amazing - all of Animals plus Wish You Were Here - played with maximum grit
It's because most of this show was a soundboard recording. You get the whole Animals album, Wish You Were Here album. Encore: Money, Us and Them and Careful, with that axe Eugene.
Was born in 88! Was lucky enough to see David a couple yrs ago in Toronto. My dad is the reason im a floyd fan. It was amazing. He played mostly floyd songs with the classic light show. My old man got to see them live in 87/88 so he still wins but he was super happy i got to see David live. (We’re both guitarists first and other instruments 2nd).
When I listen to this in my mind, I can smell the pot smoke. I was too young to see the band live in the 1970’s. All I can do is appreciate recordings like this and envy those who got to see this live back then.
We called it Columbian Gold. Expensive shit back then $35 an ounce or 2 for $60. I was at the show in Philadelphia and it was crazy. Fireworks, drunken drug crazed people. Not the best mix. The venue was called The Spectrum. A whopping 18,000 seat arena. The set list was amazing. I think that it was both Animals and Wish You Were Here with Time as one encore. It wasn't just a concert it was an event. Oh, and the tickets were $8.50.
I have a descent Pink Floyd bootleg collection, this particular show being one of my favorites, and I have to say the the remastering on this is TOP NOTCH!!! I can't say it loud enough! I have the Stonehenge label CD of this. This...wow!
We know all who gilmour is. The more interseting on this recording is rick wrights solo, because all the bootlegs from this song have an bad whrights solo. oakland and frankfurt have good rick wrights when alittle change too.
“I'M AN ATHEIST, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife. You could say that I'm resigned to the fact that this wonderful life that we get here is it. And having hit 60, it's a good time to get resigned to these things and not be too nervous or upset - and enjoy what great times one can have.” ..David Gilmour
One of Best Performances of Dogs at least to my ears. Always been Told this so I've heard others and agree more because of Sound Quality I Believe. Also love the Lyrics at the End it hits home for me at lesst."Who was born in a house Full of Pain" that was me.
I like how Dave starts the intro with You've gotta be crazy (dogs working title and demo played in 1974 tours) and then seamlessly merges it into the actual album version.
Una canción/himno pura escencia Floydiana, pasa por diferentes estados de ánimo que llegan al corazón, voces, guitarras, sintetizadores y más, vaya el reconocimiento para el siempre presente RICHARD RIGHT...!!! Saludos Floydianos.Gustav ❤
1977...live masterfully arranged. Here you can hear the very effective hand of Nick Mason live. A drummer never out of measure, he has very personal choices in drumming. Very nice to hear that. We can say all about Floyd, but live they were quite possibly the best live band ever. Great care of everything even live, with the means of time. Fantastic.
How I wish, how I wish I was there ... However. It was impossible. I was born and grew up behind the Iron Curtain. Fortunately, the vinyls were smuggled, occasionally. This band accompanied me throughout my life. I was at the Uni when the "Animals" arrived here. Absolutely fascinating. Now, my dog is lying besides me calmly, listening with me, because he feels I'm fine, finally. I'm seventeen again, like then...
What I would do to be at this show! My favorite Floyd album and man do they sound great. Thanks for sharing been going back and forth from dogs to pigs.
@@matthewgartell6380 Hi Matthew I totally agree I'm a Floyd fanatic and Animals is the GREATEST ALBUM, They made, musically and lyrically its the BEST of all Floyd album's, only cos DSOTM, WYWH and The Wall got all the hype and PR due to them being so great that Animals never got the recognition it deserved, but on Animals each band member were at their pinnacle playing and writing at their best..!!Every band member contributed to the top of their game.!! Only major downer is that they never filmed the tour 'In The Flesh Tour 1977'....I'm sure somewhere their is a video of one of the concerts apart from the odd bootleg we've all seen, so fingers crossed it gets released though with Gilmour never playing any Animals tracks live l think to spite Roger to get 1 over on him in their pathetic fued..But we can live in hope 🙏🤞🐖🐑🐕
Great recording! Lucky enough to see the LA stop of this tour, at Angel Stadium. The only thing I can say is that, unfortunately, unless you were there, you have no idea how loud this show was! I also remember thinking it was too big to play indoors. Bonus: also got to see the Wall in LA, 4th night, row 14 on the floor. Peace.
I was convinced that this was the early version of dogs "you gotta be crazy" the pitch seemed off and the tempo felt different. But those are indeed the lyrics of dogs.
It differs quite a bit from the album version. Guitars all electric, Gilmour singing most of the song, third (single) solo has an extra verse, but its fantastic!
@@insolator1775 Roger allowed the remix and also allowed the revised The Final Cut. He bitched about The Wall Live album Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980-81 being released as he was outvoted by David, Nick and Rick for its release and also Storm Thorgerson doing the sleeve.
I hope in my next life I will get to see the Floyd from the beginning in ‘64 as Sigma 6, The Meggadeaths, The Screaming Abdabs, and The Tea Set with bob klose to current
One of the most beautiful solos David Gilmour has played in his career is in this piece. Although Roger Waters gave the song a lot of justice in his solo career, it is a sad point that David did not give the same value. I wish we could listen to Dogs on David's guitar. I think this will always remain a regret in my mind. In my opinion, the best live performance of the song is this concert where David plays an incredible solo.
my favorite pink floyd floyd songs from best to least best (but still my fav) Echoes Dogs Sheep Mother Time Money What Shall We Do Now Comfortably Numb Have A Cigar One of the Days
I remember I kept looking towards the floor of the stadium because I thought maybe the police were after someone with dogs because I kept hearing these dogs barking wow what a show good times good memories
DOGS: "[Verse 3: David Gilmour] And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around So have a good drown, as you go down all alone Dragged down by the stone." This verse could mean anything from loosing all you got, death, cold blood hardening to take you into your death, have a good death from or remembering your entire life and hope its a good one. It's a creepy! I'm 54 and I can hear the lyrics in my own life, I did not have a good growing up and screwed up a lot, I sowed many ugly things and to this day its not gone away. Yeah, I also wanted to try and have a good life in Mexico, alone! Iv'e been alone my whole life and now seeing physical ailments increase I think about paces in Mexico. So, you see how creepy this song is for me yet Aaaaah but I fricking love the song structure, lyrics, everything about it! Haha! GOOD MUSIC IS BEAUTiFULL.
Song has a more universal theme to it than just your simple life. Most songs are relatable to everyone if you allow them too….hope you get up off your knees and get out of that lifestyle
july 2nd i was @msg to see them "IN THE FLESH" "Animals" SET LIST Sheep Pigs on the Wing 1 Dogs Pigs on the Wing 2 Pigs (Three Different Ones) " Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) Welcome to the Machine Have a Cigar Wish You Were Here Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX) Encore: Money Us and Them
Saw this show in at the Philadelphia Spectrum in '77. Lots of stories from that evening let me tell you. Honestly the show I attended sounded a lot better than this recording from Oakland.
You got to be crazy, gotta have a real need Gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight You got to strike when the moment is right without thinking. And after a while, you can work on points for style Like the club tie, and the firm handshake A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south Hide your head in the sand Just another sad old man All alone and dying of cancer. And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone Dragged down by the stone. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner And everything's done under the sun And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer. Who was born in a house full of pain Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Who was given a pat on the back Who was breaking away from the pack Who was only a stranger at home Who was ground down in the end Who was found dead on the phone Who was dragged down by the stone.
