I once got pulled over by a cop with this blaring. He asked "is this animals live?" I said yes sir! He said "man that's fucking awesome" and let me go. The power of the Floyd!
17+ minutes of one of the best rock bands ever at their live best!! And if David Gilmore is not in your top 5 guitarists you either were not listening or you don't know brilliance when you hear it!
17:17 "we're gonna take a break and then come in 20 minutes" Roger, believe me when I say the audience also needs a break to recover from such mindblowing experience.
I don't think I've ever heard a guitar solo that repeats a riff so beautifully, it's absolutely perfect. My favorite solo of all time, and extremely underrated
Gilmour plays the solo in a more spacy fashion with a hint of late 60s.....hippy style....with Rick Wright doing the same....unusual to hear them improvise like that......I saw the tour in the UK in 77 and it was like the album.....such a great album Animals......
I think as the tour progressed they started to improvise more and more. Did the Pigs version you heard in the UK already had the improvised guitar solo in the middle of the song?
@@ltcurry No way, Snowy was on a bass through whole song. Roger played rhythm Strat Roger during Sheep or Pigs 3DO: scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/aeb450d7e4ed58733efa28ce7469a213/5D63CDA6/t51.2885-15/e35/46094597_308561383092718_6816699985586078417_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com Snowy during Sheep or Pigs 3DO: live.staticflickr.com/3113/3142006240_e89c1b3f79_b.jpg
Totally agree it's Floyd's biggest mistake not filming the In The Flesh Tour, Animals is so underated it's my favourite Floyd album, could have been written today as the lyrics are so NOW..!! Roger is a physcic
@@ulti.matt04 You're thinking of The Wall, my friend. They (Pink Floyd and crew) were originally going to use footage from their Earls Court performances of The Wall for the movie and sadly, the footage turned out not as good and for the same reason that you said. However, some great footage has surfaced and Roger Waters allegedly has the whole show in 70 mm. So, hey.
ggthewhale - True, but his guitar playing on Animals is his best. So precise on the album, but a lot looser live. That’s what makes the 77 shows great.
Let's show a little love for the back and fourth between Wright (Hammond organ) and Gilmour (Stratocaster) at the end of this 13:57. They are having a conversation. So beautiful.
The last five minutes of this recording are of the greatest guitar performance I think I've ever heard from David Gilmour... I own every album and hundreds of bootlegs and this one takes the cake. Pure. Fucking. Bliss.
Thanks to Dave's spine-chilling guitar playing, Roger's infamous pig screams, Rick's perfectly precise keyboard playing, and Nick's insane drums... This is one of the greatest live performances of all time. Not a single note missed or wasted.
OMG, that keyboard's solo in the middle is a total MASTERPIECE from Rick! If this isn't the climax of their live together, I don't know anything more. Long live Pink Floyd!
Probably not gonna get em. Bootlegs and recordings from 1975 are the probably best you’re going to get. David didn’t want to record anything from the 1977 tour.
arid bitch the 75 shows are uninspired though, really. Hamilton and LA are decent 75 shows but the 77 shows are far better. I know they supposedly only recorded on a nagra reel to reel in 77, but this show in particular is about as excellent sounding a bootleg as you will find. It’s not as sterile uneven as soundboards and it’s excellent fidelity for an audience recording.
Rutger Vella Meagher A 1977 In the Flesh show would cover both (Set One was Animals in it’s entirety and Set Two was Wish You Were Here in its entirety...plus 2 or 3 encores).
@@gavinreid5387guy randomly finds a 500k view live version of pigs and decides to shit on Pink Floyd. Nah man, pink floyd is not overrated. They're fucking beautiful.
Waters is such a great rhythm guitarist on this track. He’s playing like he’s handling razors and slashing chords, while Snowy White on bass sounds like a frustrated guitarist, playing and filling the bottom end with melodic finesse and soul , leaving David to go off and fly and play some face shredding guitar. Punk Floyd Indeed
@@seamusforever7081 Not every Pink Floyd fan. I don't like the solos that much and I am always kind of waiting for the lyrics, which is what I like the most about old Pink Floyd
I was there in the colosseum of Oakland, can’t believe it has been that long. This was the song I ever heard from them, haven’t stop listening to PF ever since.
Well, being an album mainly composed by Waters, it's understandable that he doesn't like playin' it. He may also be unable to play it for legal reasons. In my opinion, as a big fan of this album, it would be great seen Gilmour playin' all these songs.
From what I understand the entire rest of the band was getting frustrated with Waters grabbing all ( most of) the credits from here on out and of course a bigger piece of the floyd pie.
MrDuojet .if you want know the tryth this 77 in the flesh tour was the highest live performances of the band ever , they have never reach this high live ability again. The best second live tour was the wall 80/81 and the third 94 tour . Also gilmour /wright playing echoes as perfectionists in live in dansk.
Just imagine Pink Floyd would really revisit Animals and would add this recording to an immersion box. Restored here and there but still this recording. I heard many versions of the same tour and as well later interpretations by Waters but on this very night all were on the top. BTW. Don't know what happened do Gilmour that night but listen as well how he played Shine On the secound part that at this concert. Out of that world! And those lucky ones that own the whole recording of this concert in Oakland are happy to hear the last time Careful eith that Axe... I need a time machine!
One of the few songs that I could play endlessly, without actually getting sick of it. Almost every part is pretty much a thrilling almost drug induced exhilaration. The bass, voices, and strings are just way to godly for it to be a flawless live performance! Every time I listen to this, it gives me the motivation to also try my hardest, that is what this performance shows. Give it your best, and go all out....
Bands do a lot recording themselves that fans DONT know about. A lot of "Sound Board" recordings out their collecting dust.....Hopefully the future is good to us Floyd fans.
There are quite a few soundboard or audience/radio bootlegs of concerts from the 70s to be found. You can even get the 4 legendary rainbow concerts from february '72, when PF played their "new material" (as in a work in progress of DSotM) for the press. So many roads to ease my soul just waiting to be googled.
@@PsychoWedge the best one of the 72' lives was probably the Great Gig in Boblingen, my favourite show of PF with an incredible record of Careful with that axe Eugene and an amazing performance on the pre-DSotM (with the old On the run that sounds groovy af). I would really love an official release of this show as well as for the Oakland live (this one) which is amazing too
Freaking nuts! The solo is insane and this is probably the single greatest live Floyd performance I've ever heard... The bass work by Waters at the very end is otherworldly.
@@themadcaplaughs3884 Snowy white played backing guitar from everything I can find. I can't find any evidence of him playing bass with Floyd. David Gilmour played bass occasionally but not Snowy. Not that I can find anyway...
@@user-zx1ir7jt4c interesting, from what I’ve read it’s well documented that he plays bass on sheep and pigs with roger playing bass on dogs- I believe it was in a David Gilmour interview about the album . However it’s all the same to me - complete Floyd excellence !
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m1LNPh0pImw.html Snowy isn't too visible during Pigs but both Roger and David played guitar so the bass work went to him.
The last blistering part of the jam...it might just be the best rock performance of all time. And the best part? This whole song is awesome. There is never a dull moment.
I’m 68 years of age and been listening to Pink Floyd 40+ plus years. Just so love all their music❤️❤️❤️ Brilliant musicians and Mr David Gilmour. You are extraordinary in every way 💕💗💞💓💝💖
@@edward4840 The 1977 Tour was the biggest Pink Floyd tour to the date. They were literally selling out arenas every fucking night. Along Led Zeppelin, they were the biggest bands in the world at that time. Im 100% sure they have material to release a live album of the Animals 1977 tour... but sadly they probably won’t, but hey, we still have the bootlegs
Absolute fire. And a gleaming example of why I prefer the band with only 5 on stage. There's a nasty grittiness to their playing, and their unique playing styles come to the fore. This was Pink Floyd at the peak of their performing powers.
Who was the fifth person at this point? I'm assuming someone on bass as I can't imagine Roger having the coordination to pull of the vocal and some of the bass-playing, but a second guitarist makes more sense.
@@digitalis303 Snowy White. Dick Parry played on a a few songs as well, so on 2 songs they were a 6 piece. Snowy takes a few of the lead solos in this show as well, on Have a Cigar and Pigs on the Wing 2.
This album and my Dad (a musician of many instruments) were my initial inspirations to become a musician. I wanted to be a part of something greater than myself. I find that a little ironic now knowing how the band members felt at the time. But also I think it's a testament to their abilities to express through their playing. You can literally feel the disappointment, the separation emotionally within the band itself. The anger and resentment is a fiery solo, the resigned and ruthlessly steady drum grooves, the punchy bass trying to pull the solos. The quieter insinuations of keyboard lines, as if to say _"hey, things could be better too, you know?"_
Love this album, my uncle introduced to me when I was heavy into dark side of the moon, he had this tape in his truck and we blasted on the way to my grandma's and it just happened to be at this song on the tape, love it man
I love the tormented pig noise when the song cuts to the hard riffs towards the middle, super dope, sounds like outer space music when they combine shi like this
There needs to be a warning added to this video. 'WARNING - THE GUITAR SOLO YOU ARE ABOUT TO LISTEN TO WILL QUITE POSSIBLY MELT YOUR FACE OFF.... LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK!'
