You can't understand how great Pink Floyd were, without listening to all the seventies live recordings. Great musicians with the ability and the skills to improvise (Wright and Gilmour as well). The live versions were often longer and better than the original songs. What a band ❤
17+ minutes of one of the best rock bands ever at their live best!! And if David Gilmour is not in your top 5 guitarists you either were not listening or you don't know brilliance when you hear it!
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?

The last two and a half minutes of this performance are the essence of Pink Floyd. Masters of the atmosphere, leading listeners from nirvana to chaos. Unrepeatable!
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.
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.
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.
I was at this show in Oakland. 1977. I also saw them live two years earlier, April 12, 1975 at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco. That was one hell of a show as was this one. All the critics have said they were at their best in Oakland during the two day set. Wow. They were. They were also at their best in 75 in San Fran.
i was at this show also. i passed out 100 hits of owlsley's to the people around me. what an incredible show this was. the visual effects were so awesome that even a deaf person would have had a great time.
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.
I was there at this show in Oakland too. The Arena. I also saw the two years earlier at the Cow Palace. April 12, 1975. I still have the comic book program they gave out as you entered. So fucking cool.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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....
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
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!
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 !
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.
@@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
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!
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?"_
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.
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 remember the first time I heard this album probably around 78’ I was about 7 at a neighbors house- born raised Bay Area - hard to believe this masterpiece was going on about 15 min away from my house at the time… been a fan most of my life and always wanted live stuff from Animals… thank you for this! We all owe you one👍🏻
I was at this show! I grew up in the Manor San Leandro. Saw them in 75 at the Cow Palace too. Incredible. The Bay Area in the 70s had incredible concerts thanks to Bill Graham.
Massively epic, Pink Floyd brilliance, recorded live on their Animals tour in 1977! OMG! In my humble opinion, Gilmour's brilliant guitar solo at the end of Pigs, Three Different Ones (studio version) was just a taste of what he was about to do next on the solo for Comfortably Numb (The Wall). All I know is that I wish both solos would never end. Thank you so F$#%ing much for posting this timeless classic!!
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.
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
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 💕💗💞💓💝💖
This Is the best song of Pink Floyd live ever, the solo Is Better than comfortably numb, and Nick and Rick are beautifoul, best band ever for me, no doubt

For me this is Pink Floyd's best song. Dark, beautiful, original, long, creative, fenomenal solos. Masterpiece.
Great choral hook
its a true master piece
I agree. This is my favorite song, I never get tired of it.
If not the best, it’s certainly up there. Love everything about it. Gilmour is of course, amazing.

The late 70s, (in particular '77) was the best period of music. I've said that for decades.

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.
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
Wow I wish I was alive to see this performance.
I was!! It was awesome!!
There's music and then there's Pink Floyd ❤️
I remember the first time I heard this album probably around 78’ I was about 7 at a neighbors house- born raised Bay Area - hard to believe this masterpiece was going on about 15 min away from my house at the time… been a fan most of my life and always wanted live stuff from Animals… thank you for this! We all owe you one👍🏻
I was at this show! I grew up in the Manor San Leandro. Saw them in 75 at the Cow Palace too. Incredible. The Bay Area in the 70s had incredible concerts thanks to Bill Graham.
Massively epic, Pink Floyd brilliance, recorded live on their Animals tour in 1977! OMG! In my humble opinion, Gilmour's brilliant guitar solo at the end of Pigs, Three Different Ones (studio version) was just a taste of what he was about to do next on the solo for Comfortably Numb (The Wall). All I know is that I wish both solos would never end. Thank you so F$#%ing much for posting this timeless classic!!
David Cavan ditto. Both solos could and should continue ad infinitum
I can see that
@@eldubya7972 what about Dogs solo?
@@OsbalDoee his best solo imo
gilmour's vocal harmony is so fucking amazing. what a shame he doesn't play that insane album.
The vocal is mostly Waters
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.
One of my favourites albums
Pierry Gomes i always wondered why gilmour never played any of the animals album on his tours
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.
Amazing performances by Gilmour and Wright. Pink Floyd was as good live as in the studio.
that's definitely an exaggerated statement
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.
I think they were better live, DSOTM was far superior in the live shows
Don't forget Waters and Mason too. Waters played rhythm like he's mad at the guitar, and that double kick drums at the end is just aggressive as hell.

What a travesty that there were no live Pink Floyd performances filmed in the 70s, except for Pompeii sans audience.
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.
@angelbabe dawg The fireworks?
Moe R. There was the infamous spitting incident an then a small riot
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
damn, this recording is awesome. legendary
This track triumph Spotify. Heard it about 100 times now. Second to guilmors «sorrow» this is definetily their best piece of music
Animals is the best Pink Floyd album
Thanks Roger for that
Definitely their best album post Syd's era.
Everything is sounding so well.
Every time I listen to Floyd, I light a candle, raise a window, and ........chill..
La voce di Roger e i cori di Dave valgono da soli l'intero pezzo!
Se aggiungi tutto il resta si raggiunge un livello quasi mai toccato
When Roger played it in the Us and Them Tour it was INCREDIBLE as were the visuals
The Wall and the Us + Them tours were the best shows I've ever seen
I agree
Animals is my favorite Floyd album and I was there that night. In the nosebleeds but still awesome. A night to remember.
WOW... Just an amazing song. One of the best solos I have heard. Awesome.
Amazing live version.
Now these guys know how to jam!! Gilmour guitar tone and playing is powerful!!
...This Show in the Bay took me to new heights and let my soul soar ! ....Thanks for the memories !
Oakland in 77, what a great time in time. Rock will never die!
Mr. Gilmour just bending those wires like great guitarist that he is !
Right into my PINK FLOYD playlist :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
but you cant add this version on spotify
The mix is all over the place.. still, the greatness shines thru
Perfect!!!
This remastered sound is simply superb!!!!!
Omg the vocal harmonies are just perfect!!!! Thanks for the upload!
Sounds great! I was a year old when this album came out... Might be my favorite Floyd album...
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 💕💗💞💓💝💖
I bought this album in'78,one of the first records I bought and I still love it as first time I heard it. Life is strange. Music is stranger.
Gilmour makes his stratocaster talking.Fantastic inpirated solos.,man. One of the Greatest guitar players of all the times.
possibly the best live performance out there of Pigs. Gilmour slays those solo's
Could not agree more. Dark and heavy, this live version totally rocks. Need to get pf to remaster and release this
Unbelievable ...what a performance. Mind blowing.
amazing vocalization and riffs....big fan, greetings from nyc!!!
This Is the best song of Pink Floyd live ever, the solo Is Better than comfortably numb, and Nick and Rick are beautifoul, best band ever for me, no doubt
OMG... Perfect guitar Solo! It's just amazing!
I'm rocking this! One of a kind. One of a kind!🐖
Dioooooos qué buen live!! Woow, una obra maestra, digno de los mejores artistas y genios del rock!
I had never had goosepumps for 17 minutes straight before.
