I was there… as a 16 year old on acid…. I remember the Concorde crashing in to the stage… and the spitfires… at least I think do…. Steve Miller doing Fly Like An Eagle and … Don Van Vliet… the good Captain… gosh… great to see this… thanks ! Oh yes it was in Quadraphonic sound too as i recall…
It's incredible, but there's no any official professionally made Pink Floyd video from the period 1973-1986. Just nothing! I wonder WHY? No "Dark side of the moon" show, nor even The Wall show - the most fascinating one any band has done ever. Why?
Yeah. This was also the opening number when I saw them at Liverpool Empire the previous November. Typical Floyd taking three years to actually record it!
No major band today would have dared to present a full hour of unreleased music to the concert crowd - they played both "Shine On" in full (except maybe the prelude), "You Gotta Be Crazy" (Dogs) and this one, raw, still works-in-progress and exciting...and they had been playing much of those in a live setting ever since the year before.
@@louise_rose True. I saw them at Liverpool Empire in November 1974 and that’s exactly what they played, before they did DSOTM and then “ Echoes”. I’m old btw.
god i was only 5 years old then, but man to be in my 20's and seeing this back then ,would have blown my mind. you guys were lucky to see these shows live, ill tell ya. .
~~ starting about 2:30 -- this is some of the best closeup film of the band on stage from this era - such a crime that no full shows were properly filmed from this tour - or Animals in '77 ..
A great festival. The intro for Pink Floyd by Michael Palin was priceless - complete with Spitfire flypast. Throw in Steve Miller and it was one of the better British festivals in a brilliant location.
It was Graham Chapman who MCd Knebworth '75. He did at one point introduce "E D Gumby" who smashed a folding chair up onstage as a supposed attempt at a Pete Townshend impersonation, and that might have been Palin, but Chapman, dressed as an army officer was the MC.
This is the best footage I’ve seen so sad they never filmed any of the early concerts I seen them in 73 77 80 and 87 the 87 show you can see but not 73 77 even 80 is not filmed good thank you so very much for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was there and the photo's of the toilets that I had forgotten about, opened the door and looked in then went to the bushes a lot cleaner. Dock leaves are good.
Great day out, best gig I went to in the seventies, pity the spitfires aren't on the video though. Thank you for showing this, brings back some great memories. Sadly my mate who I went with is no longer around to see this.
I’ve heard this early version of “Sheep”, before but never saw a video before. As most Floyd fans know, this song, and Dogs, (then named “You Gotta be Crazy”, were first created and played in concerts before Wish You Were Here was released. David wanted it on the new WYWH album, but Roger argued that it didn’t fit in WYWH. (One of the few times I would later take Roger’s side)! These two songs were reworked and polished to perfection on the next album Animals. I hear many fans say they didn’t like Animals, since it was a departure from the dreamy soundscape of DSOTM and WYWH, and the lyrics were bitter and cynical. Well, that was the world in 1977!! You had to be there! Punk music was on the rise, and popular bands like Floyd were derided as being “Dinosaurs of the old age”! Johnny Rotten himself famously wore a “I hate Pink Floyd” tee shirt! What does Roger do? He was the biggest punk of them all and dropped one of the first “F-Bombs” one Pigs! (And it was played on the radio for years before all the censorship kicked in! Before they removed the word Bullshit from “Money”)! Back to the original point, Animals was the first new Floyd album I ever bought, and I loved it for the fact that it WAS Different from the very smooth, mostly mellow sounds of DSOTM and WYWH! They sounded more like a real rock band without the luxurious sax solos, and gorgeous female backup singers! This was just the main band rocking out! I will always love this album! The Wall continued along this same vein, and that album was a MONSTER, containing some of the best songs they ever produced! Still, The Wall is not my favorite album. It was just too much, and one I simply cannot listen to start to finish and repeat, (unlike Animals)!
87 was horrible, and I was 17 and so excited to see PinkFloyd! It was the first concert I ever went out in the halls and walked around to kill time, we and my friends called them Pink Fat
You're absolutely right!! I think so too. 80's and 90's are all too much overproduced, too much people on stage, so nothing can't go wrong anymore. But all that doesn't makes it better. This here, sounds more rough and much more better than all that" Delicate Sound of Thunder" and "Pulse" stuff
@@ManfredMrotzek The '88 and '94 shows and live albums were essentially live greatest hits, plus a bunch of songs from two mediocre albums. Boring beyond belief. Like you say, they're too tidy, too perfect. There's a few really cool moments where they "Improvise" or extend solos, but it's few and far between.
It was a long time ago, substances had been partaken of, so it's possible that I could be mistaken, but I believe at least one of the planes from the flyby was a Hurricane.
@@srirahulpremkumar1600 7 shillings and 6 pence. In today's decimal currency about 37.5 p. We were about 15 rows from the front.Manchester Free Trade Hall with about 2000 capacity if that.
I was there. The best act of the day was Steve Miller with Cosmo Clifford and Les Dudek in his band. The Floyd were pretty good; the highlight of their set was Dick Parry's tenor solo on "Echoes" partly because it was brilliant playing and partly because I for one, wasn't expecting it.
I was there! I remember they came on very late and we missed the last train home and ended up sleeping at the station. Also Spitfire planes were supposed to fly over at the start but because of the delay came early confusing the crowd. The sound was poor and it wasn't their best performance but we were young and happy!
NAWWW HABS JUST A GOOD TEAM… LEAFS A LEGENDARY.. NAME ANOTHER TEAM PAID AS MUCH, AS CRAZY AS A FAN BASE, AS HIGH TICKET PRICES, AND LOOSES EVERY FKN GAME 😂 LEGENDS.
wow! never seen any clips from this era..65-94 lol..seen some photos. gilmour w the canadiens jersey. plus the music matches the video..mostly...this will be in rotation for awhile...thanks
Wow,this is good stuff.I have seen lots of pictures from this concert but never live footage.You also did a great job of editing.And an added bonus is the sound quality.Pink Floyd rules as do all of us die hard fans.
My first ever live band experience was Genesis at Knebworth in 1978, which was astounding in terms of sound and lighting. This looks a world away in production and quality - for the less. Incredible what difference three years made in those days in terms of production quality and technology.
Thought for a moment that the Battersea footage would be from the Animals cover shoot. But, giveaways: MI6 building, modern-looking train at 8.19, hi-viz jackets!
Grandiosa canción la primera vez que escuche el álbum quede alucinado pero esta canción es de otro mundo los instrumentos cambiados en el estudio de Walter gilmour
@@AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp doesn't look like the sanitation improved much either. The 'latrines' at Knebworth '79 were a thing of legend, for all the wrong reasons (and that was just the smell...).
I still say Raving and Drooling was Pink Floyd at its peak. I liked the direction it was going. It did need to be cleaned up for the album but they cleaned it up too much. IMO
Half way through the song Gilmore changed his shirt from a Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey to a blue t-shirt and it also looks like he shaved off his beard???
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this song by Pink Floyd 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RU-vid. 😀
Be well, bro. Just know one addiction can be bad as the other. Drugs, religion, politics, sex, porn,. Don't trade one for the other. Take a walk outside.
Thanks bro and ya lots of things to be addicted to for sure though Jesus is not another idol or religion but a relationship with the loving living God. Good book to check out is C.S Lewis Mere Christianity and all the things Jesus said like He is the only way to the Father and on and on and Lewis said either He is a great deceiver and wacko or He is God and in all His studies as an atheist he came to believe Jesus was who He said he was and also not another crutch or addiction but the giver of Hope Peace Forgiveness Eternal Life and on and on. Anyways thanks for responding and we'll be praying for you 🙏
