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!
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!
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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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.
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).
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.
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
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 !
@@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
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....
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 💕💗💞💓💝💖
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.
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!
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
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
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?"_
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.
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.
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👍🏻
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!!
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!'
17+ minutes of one of the best rock bands ever at their live best!!

it's true I was the car
The highest point of rock music.
Maybe in music
That solo could be ranked one of the best things I heard in music history
Thats a fact.
Agreed !!!!
EXACTLY
Stretches one note over 24 bars .
Like nobodies biz.
YES

Gilmour was a different animal and could jam like hell depending on how he felt. Normally a master.
1st solo was Snowy White. He used a Les Paul, the tone is a dual humbucker, Les Paul.

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.
@@eldubya7972 your pic reminded me of the mars volta instantly

What a fucking performance! One of the many reasons why Pink Floyd is my favorite band and why David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist.
holy moly. extra 5 min of pf bliss in this performance. what a treat to hear
One BadAss Guitar Solo!! Have to give Props and Applause to the whole band!!
absolutely...couldn't say it better myself!
Trung Fu : +1 / the same with me. Since 1970
Listening to Gilmour play live is proof he is the most gifted rock guitarist ever.
Naa
The fact there's no official recording from one of the 77 shows is a downright f'ing tragedy.

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

Gilmour's work on Animals is probably the best of his career, esp. the solo on "Dogs."
that 3rd solo at 5:30 gives me chills every time. absolutely perfect
Gilmour didn't do any work on animals except on dogs. Animals is roger waters' album
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.

@@drcr3709 I decided to stay backstage.
Yeah well waters is about a pig so....
@@drcr3709 you’re an idiot…I stayed backstage as well
If I could have a time machine for 24 hours of my life, seeing Animals live would absolutely make the itinerary.
I concur 🤘
I would too but where are we gonna get the tickets?
but surely because it's a time machine, you wouldn't have it for 24 hrs. because of time travel
I would sell my soul

That SOLO!!! is beyond belief!!! Gilmour is known for his feel, but he keeps it when he plays fast! Beautiful!
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!
The late 70s, (in particular '77) was the best period of music. I've said that for decades.
This was some dates before the Montreal concert, when Waters spit on a fan and The Wall began to be built.
It was the Montreal show and only that one he did it
@@guerito7571 she's saying this was only a few dates before that infamous show

He's a wizard. That guitar
I couldn't agree more. I'm a huge, huge fan of his. The 2nd solo on comfy numb is perfection but I love this one .
Epic guitar sound even Roger's bass sounds menacing it compliments the solo
I agree I'm a fan of 45 years and a great collector far and wide... glad to meet a collector...greetings from the US

Pigs is one of their best songs. I discovered the album pretty late. It's a hidden gem. Imo it's second after wish you were here album
It's a toss up between the two of course early version where written for WYWH
This is a spiritual experience.
Masterpiece...songwriters will live 100 life times to capture something as powerful, pure and complete. Perfect song.

They played Kemper Arena in Kansas City in 1977 not Arrowhead.
@@terrencereardon6374 I just looked at the ticket stub and you are correct .
1977 in the middle of the punk era, but somehow Roger Waters songs and singing was way scarier than Johnny Roten or Joy Strummer.
Who's that bums
pluso
The music of the punk era was mostly fake, and held little in the way of a message .
Even in 2021!
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👍🏻
Rogers with the wierd scary sounds and Gilmore with absolutely badass top both guitar playing! Why isn't there a video of this ??!!!!
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 was a different animal and could jam like hell.
Pink floyd means best music ever created
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
That's more than 40 years back! This band is definitely out of the fucking known universe!
WOW... Just an amazing song. One of the best solos I have heard. Awesome.
This track triumph Spotify. Heard it about 100 times now. Second to guilmors «sorrow» this is definetily their best piece of music
I'm rocking this! One of a kind. One of a kind!🐖
The magnum opus of performances
Unbelievable ...what a performance. Mind blowing.
I wish to god I could've been there to see them live in the late 70s
Oakland in 77, what a great time in time. Rock will never die!
I've always heard Animals is Pink Floyd's buried treasure
The ending. what a fantastic guitar solo.
damn, this recording is awesome. legendary
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.
How can one man be so perfect? (Talking about David)
Wow, Gilmour together with Wright, what a dialog!
I had never had goosepumps for 17 minutes straight before.
ORGASM with that solo !!!! 🙏🏼 David Gilmour on fire 🔥!!!!
OMG... Perfect guitar Solo! It's just amazing!
Animals is my favorite Floyd album and I was there that night. In the nosebleeds but still awesome. A night to remember.
possibly the best live performance out there of Pigs. Gilmour slays those solo's
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
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!'
I don't even need it anymore!!! Much Love brother, hope you are well.
It sure is a face melter, that’s for sure
And that’s what we want. If anyone is going to melt my face off, I want it to be Gilmour.
