At 56, I'm just now really getting into "pre-The Wall" Floyd. Last year I listened to Echoes for first time. Beginning to really appreciate Animals and DSOTM now. Better late than never.
Well I'm 57 and I've been listening to them since I was 10. Where the hell ya been boy? :) So much good stuff that puts the wall to shame. Animals and Wish You Were Here are the best. Meddle is awesome. I even love Ummagumma... but that one takes a bit to like I think... some early awesome stuff. People love Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but that early early stuff was just never for me. I hope your Floyd Trip brings you to some great places my friend. :)
I was at this concert and a month earlier I saw Led Zeppelin for the 3rd time and unfortunately it was the last time I saw Zeppelin. I also saw Pink Floyd at Madison Square Garden in 1980 when they did the Wall. I have so many great memories of so many concerts at MSG. I still go once in a while if there's a decent band that's worth my time because a lot of today's music is garbage.. Well what do you want from a man that's in his mid 60's 😎
I saw Pink Floyd at MSG that same year, along with Led Zeppelin in June, and ELP later that summer. 1977 was a great year for concerts!! (I saw Black Sabbath and Aerosmith in 1975 at MSG - most frightened I’ve ever been.)
But so much of today's music is NOT garbage. Find it and then ignore what you don't like. I'm 75. Check out a band called Southern Avenue. Or the Decemberists
The Best Album from Pink Floyds catalogue, Love Richards Wrights arrangements with most of their songs made these classic pieces of music that will live on forever and ever....amen
I saw this tour in milwaukee..it changed my life..this was an experience that I still talk about and feel when I listen to this. It was my goal to see pink floyd again...17 years later in 94..I out of the blue landed a job as a stagehand...I got hired over tje phone..I ask what we were gonna be doing and he said pink floyd...I really can't explain what went through my head at that moment...couple weeks later I was in ames Iowa building the stage for division bell...sitting at the back of the stadium for the show and after 17 years not only am I seeing pink floyd again but I got to build the stage. All these people digging what we built.. it was the the absolute best fucking day of my life..the second was the first time I saw them...my first concert and my first stage build...if you were to ask me before that build of I could ever build a stage who would do..floyd would have came out of my face without thinking about it...been a faithful stagehand ever since and still at it...two life changing events...and still happy about them
I was fortunate enough to see them in Columbus, Ohio, OSU stadium, around that time, 1994. This is Great audio recording, audience style. Incredible songs. This recording was from 1977!!!!!! Their music, made during the 70's, and before, it's hard to get a grip around that concept. Incredible stuff.
Great story! You are one of the lucky ones. If I could be a stage hand for one gig - now that’s a real life question! Pink would be too… but I’m a follower of Pearl Jam for years so they’d be in there. Rush or Zepp… just dreaming now. What a great day you had. ❤️🎸
The more time goes by, the more grateful i am to have lived through this musical era. I was at the June 77 Boston show. Remember it clearly to this day. Arrived early and heard them sound-checking the quad system. Just amazing. Gilmore other-worldly performance.
Wow. I’m 46 and have seen Phish 157 times and tell new fans about my experiences that I hold dearly. Yours is incredible. I missed Floyd even in 94, the dead too. You are blessed.
Pink Floyd in top form here. David is a guitar God and chemistry these guys possess is magical. To think this 40+ years ago and sounds just as fresh today in 2018. True talent captured in a moment in time is in fact timeless.
I went to this show! It was a local, mail order for tickets deal and we lucked out but could not get the July 4 show tickets. It is still one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I've seen hundreds of rock and roll shows. Maybe more!
Yeah the tone David used for the Shine On intro solo was much hotter than he used for any other tour where this song was played. You can really hear the sustain and slight break-up of notes when you're used to hearing them so clean. I think he used the Colorsound Power Boost set to a mild overdrive setting for this tour most nights on the intro solo, combined with an MXR Dynacomp. Not his typical setup for that tone, but hey, they were playing stadiums on the In The Flesh tour in 1977. David even had a Marshall 100W Plexi head in his rig for that tour. Now if there was anyone still alive that actually knew what he used it for on that tour........
Who ever put all this together and made it available: thank you,thank you,thank you..sincerely...I've so longed to reaffirm my recollection of just how surreal an experience it was for me and this serves my memory well and confirms the many times I've shared my story with others.Pink Floyd isnt a myth by no means.they really were on another level of excellence that still to this day,hasn't been matched by anyone.fucking amazing!

Laura i have no problem with u fantasizing at a Floyd show , but im afraid u hoping on a time machine aint going to work . . . just the Music ,pictures and memory .
I was at this show as well with my Brother and a shit load of friends. LIRR into Pen station. Thank you for putting this out for our enjoyment. Sitting here @ 62 and still remember as if it was yesterday.
Absolutely marvellous upload,sounds so good for 42 years old.The Animals album and Shine on You Crazy Diamond sound so Amazing.I am buzzing.I have watched loads of these live concerts on TH-cam lately and this one and Montreal 4 days later are the best.May 9 is superb as well.PINK FLOYD ARE THE GREATEST BAND EVER.FLOYD is timeless
Was at the July 3rd show. People from the upper rows were throwing fireworks down to the floor seats. Crazy. During the show things calmed down until after the show when the lights came back on.
Fantastic show! Huge Floyd fan but was a bit young to see these shows as I was just 9 years old when this happened. Happy for what I saw and thankful for whoever taped these shows and put them on TH-cam! ❤️
Thanks a lot for the post!! I was born and raised in Chicago and, was there for their June 19th, 1977 show at Soldier Field (where the Chicago Bear's play), for which I had thought was the "Animals Tour", but was really the "In The Flesh Tour". Soldier Field, where the concert was held when configured for football games, holds 61,500. Yet, since the field area was also to be used for this concert to hold the additional crowd, the attendance was 70,000 plus! The thing that struck and impressed me the most, was that they did something I never saw before, or even afterwards: They had a quadraphonic P.A. set up, front/back/right/left. They would pan sounds around, which sounded awesome in the dark. About that . . . . . One huge misstep I think the band, or the venue made was: Soldier Field is an open-air stadium (no roof). That meant, due to the nature of the shows lighting and other effects (we got to see and touch the giant pig as it hovered low over the crowd on the field! lol), they would/could not play until it was totally dark outside. BUT, the venue opened at I believe about 12:00 (noon). It was general admission, so, tons of people were there to have a chance to get on the field (as I did). Yet - 1) It was a hot summer day and, no place to hide from the sun - 2) Once you got your spot, it hit you after a while that you had like SEVEN HOURS before you would see the show - 3) EVERYONE was smoking weed. - 4) They did not have ANY warm up band. 5) Logistics of food, water, going to the bathroom, while waiting SO long. . . . It all added up to a sunburned, hot, stoned and tired crowd - not what you want as a band. Looking back, the venue should not have opened the doors until only say, an hour or two before the start of the show. And yes, I SO bad that the band was not afraid of “boot-leg’s”, so purposefully not having the shows professionally shot on film! There were many unique aspects of that Chicago show that are not in the other, rare and few film clips I have seen from shows in other cities.
Thanks for sharing your memories. Interesting for just a basic one band concert- it must have a Festival feel to it. 7 hours in a hot sun is no fun. People drinking alcohol must have been dehydrated
Excellent recording! Tough to choose between this and Oakland 5/9/77...and if ya' can have 'em both,who would want to?! The Sony 152 SD must have been a hell of a deck (it's a Sony, so no surprise there!) A Taper buddy of mine had the 158 SD. For my ears,the combo of a Sony D5 (or D6) and a pair of Nak CM300's with the CP4 caps was capable of pulling down some pretty serious sound :-)
this is awesome, as someone who was at this show this is the best sound i heard. they had the garden hooked up for quadrophonic. we had a few aholes with fireworks but Roger put them in thier place. mis my buddy and brother who was with me. RIP Loose Bruce. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Was there that night, thank you for posting this...don't know how or what this was recorded on, but for being over 40 years old it sounds good. With the lighting and Animals props that transitioned to the back stage screen for Wish You Were Here, I remember this concert to be intense that was way way beyond what just this audio is...was perfect live
Yes back then it was probably more crazier with Fireworks and chaos in New York back in 1977 than it is today. I remember being in Manhattan in 1986 on July 4 and it was nuts.
@@beholden1663 I saw a few shows at MSG in the mid to late 80's and the fireworks were plentiful. In fact at the Maiden show in 86 Bruce Dickinson had a fit when someone threw some fireworks near the stage. Shows we're freaking SCARY
Along with solos on "Pigs on the Wing pt. 2" and "Have a Cigar" I think he played a solo on "Shine on You Crazy Diamond pt. 9" and even on "Wish You Were Here". Possibly both solos on WYWH! Can anyone confirm?
wow!! thankyou so much, I was at this show in boston june 27, and it was the most amazing show, the sound was like nothing I had ever xperianced, the quadraphic was just mindblowing!! and of course the visual show was second to none, I have heard all the bootlegs on youtube, this by far is the closest thing to being there I have heard, its so clear , it brings me back to that night, so thankyou again, amazing!!
I was there on the 4th of July... Non stop fucking M80's! Thank God that shit finally stopped around 79... I fucking hated it... Best Floyd album ever = Animals :)
Yeah, the MSG shows definitely had lots of fireworks being set off by the crowd. In retrospect it seems fairly understandable how Roger got to the point of spitting on these unruly fans just 4 days later in Montreal. Thank the kids with their M80s, or we very well wouldn't have gotten The Wall....
36:40 So cool that Dave added these fill-ins in this part! And it sounds so fucking good ... in general the stuff played in the refrain of Pigs also sounds so much cooler than on the album version
I was at this show as well as Led Zeppelin,ELP and Yes in the summer of 77 at MSG. As well as being fortunate to see these great shows,it was a constant fear of an M80 landing on your head.The Garden security was non existent and the crowds there that summer were REALLY rowdy. Glad I was there but it was scary.No wonder Waters hated arena gigs.
Nice upload! Someone taped "Caught In The Crossfire" for me when it came out - the bootleg debut of this show, and for kids in the 80's unconnected to tape trading, bootlegs were about all we had access to... anyhow, I remember that lp blowing me away, quality-wise. Now reading about Louis Falanga...
I was there one of the youngest kids there,, I had cool older sisters, 3rd Show, 1st one was Ten Years After 2nd Robin Trower, then I got into punk 1978 what a blast
Obrigado por postar,masi um show dessa tournée maravilhosa do Animals.....incluindo músicas do Wish You Where Here e Dark Side Of The Moon......Espetacular!!!!
Some things are difficult to describe in words and I believe this concert and especially this quality is pure indescribable magic. I wholeheartedly thank the uploader for giving me a glimpse of the power Floyd possessed during that 77 tour which in my view their greatest tour. Floyd at the height of their absolute artistic power doing things only they could do. I would give anything to go back in time and be among the lucky souls who were witnessing greatness of that level. Greatest musical act to ever walk the earth bar absolutely none at the peak of their creative powers. What a privilege and honor to have this recording after more than 40 years to give our generations the chance to listen to the supreme band at their very best.
My thoughts exactly. I was only 9 when this concert happened but I grew up on Long Island just outside where this took place-so this has nostalgic emotions for me.
"Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland awaaaayyyyyyyy" WOW, The Floyd sound incredible on this night in New York City!!! Selling out MSG 4 nights in a row in America & 1 of the shows is on the 4th of July???? That's the BIG-TIME. Not bad for a cult band from England
I was fortunate enough to see pink floyd on the animals tour in Atlanta Ga.i was a mere 13 yrs.old at the time.It was a mind altering experience-a game changer.some concerts resonate a couple days or less.some a week.some a month or more.some a year-4-5 maybe..That Pink Floyd show resonates to this day..words offer no justice towards explaining it.this takes me back there in bits atleast.how did we get from there to the bs of today.its a joke-aint nobody laughing-except the evil ones..
1:21:04 It's the first time I hear intro solo to Wish You Were Here played on the electric guitar. Also it sounds like Snowy White could be playing it. A lot of compression, some phaser... strange
That's David playing the intro solo, evident by the Yamaha RA-200 you can hear on the tone. I don't think there is any real phasing other than the phasing that comes naturally from the Yamaha rotating speaker. Snowy was playing the acoustic part.
The bleak music had a lot of beauty. Rick wright playing up a storm. I guess anything great only lasts a short time. Then it’s gone. Maybe that’s the most one can hope for. They achieved it.
5.15 mins ~onwards, possibly my fave Floyd bits ever... 'Raving and drooling I fell on his neck with a Scream!...this is a fantastic Live rendition. Cheers. 🎼🎶🐶🎸🎶🎤🌳🥁🎵🎭
@@Oh_I_WillI guess that explains why Dogs never appeared on any setlist for the AMLoR and DB yours. Instead they played The Dogs of War (which is an awful song).
The Fireworks made Roger Waters concept of building a wall between the stage and the audience,great gig. I was only 5 and would loved to have seen Pink Floyd in there prime
It was not just PF - it happened at pretty much every large arena or stadium show by a major touring band at the time. Saw Aerosmith walk offstage around the same time in the 70's because idiots were lighting off M-80's near the stage - those were powerful enough to blow fingers off your hand - if not your entire hand - KISS - Ted Nugent - Robin Trower - Black Sabbath - Blue Öyster Cult - practically any show with LOUD aggressive music had audience fireworks going off.
@@billyz5088 I kinda think it was because the 4th of July was two days away, and in the US there is fireworks on 4th of July. If they played two days before the Lunar New Year in China, I bet there would be people throwing firecrackers. Or if they played in Central Europe two days before Christmas.
They did it so that decades after the show, people like you can mention it in the comment section and get a few frivolous likes instead of just saying THANKS FOR POSTING THIS AMAZING SHOW.
when these guys went on stage something truly amazing happens like a harmony within sophistication naw but everyone know's what i mean relax sit back enjoy the show!
Playing Madison square garden 4 nights in a row. That's the big time!!!!!!! Not bad for a druggie cult band from england🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧........... The Floyd were a real force
The best performance of Shine On You Crazy Diamond for Roger on this tour. On every other recording he's so out of tune, out of melody. Here his voice is actually pleasant. So mellow and calm.
I wonder if has to do with the other recordings were dry desk signal chains vs the wet audio post effects. I’ve heard some of those other shows from 77 (I dig them) but there’s not as much or any effects on the vocals. Even the guitars sound dry in areas. This one is more advanced.
Daamn, I think this is a bit better than the live Oakland same tour. Tight AF..more powerful and organic sounding Edit..the heaviest version of Pigs(3 diff) I've ever heard and I've seen them live twice.
did you record this, or someone in the road crew? its such a tragedy that Floyd didn't film any of these shows, this show in my opinion blew away the wall show, wich I saw feb 28 80, don't get me wrong it was still a great show, but this show was still the best
I sure didn't record this. I wasn't even born until a few months after the original Wall shows ended. I believe it's a Louis Falanga recording. I'm editing the description right now to add the source lineage for those interested. But, on another note, my channel name and photo come from the Wall show you attended at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
At 56, I'm just now really getting into "pre-The Wall" Floyd. Last year I listened to Echoes for first time. Beginning to really appreciate Animals and DSOTM now. Better late than never.
Definately
Animals is my favorite by far...enjoy it all though....there’s so much to enjoy...😁
Animals is my 4th fave album of all time by any band, awesome!
You cannot afford to miss this then. Here's the link to Fat Old Sun from a 1971 radio show th-cam.com/video/ttPNilF3v5A/w-d-xo.html
Well I'm 57 and I've been listening to them since I was 10. Where the hell ya been boy? :) So much good stuff that puts the wall to shame. Animals and Wish You Were Here are the best. Meddle is awesome. I even love Ummagumma... but that one takes a bit to like I think... some early awesome stuff. People love Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but that early early stuff was just never for me. I hope your Floyd Trip brings you to some great places my friend. :)
was at this show with my best buddy who has passed, what a night. RIP Loose Bruce
Rip to your friend. frfr you guys had a memory that lasted his lifetime and will last yours. All the best man
Sorry for the loss of your friend. I bet this was epic. Glad you got to experience it with him.
I was at this concert and a month earlier I saw Led Zeppelin for the 3rd time and unfortunately it was the last time I saw Zeppelin. I also saw Pink Floyd at Madison Square Garden in 1980 when they did the Wall. I have so many great memories of so many concerts at MSG. I still go once in a while if there's a decent band that's worth my time because a lot of today's music is garbage.. Well what do you want from a man that's in his mid 60's 😎
I saw David Gilmour 2 nights at the MSG!! Amazing 👏
I saw Pink Floyd at MSG that same year, along with Led Zeppelin in June, and ELP later that summer. 1977 was a great year for concerts!!
(I saw Black Sabbath and Aerosmith in 1975 at MSG - most frightened I’ve ever been.)
Ok….so tell us some stories of those gigs….nobody cares who we all saw unless there’s a story attached to it
But so much of today's music is NOT garbage. Find it and then ignore what you don't like. I'm 75.
Check out a band called Southern Avenue. Or the Decemberists
Sorry bro, PF did not play the Wall at MSG. ONLY 2 places in the US.
I was there with my boy ANDY RIP bro, best concert I’ve ever been to,hands down
Rest easy Andy. He knew real tunes
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Glad you got to experience it with him.
The Best Album from Pink Floyds catalogue, Love Richards Wrights arrangements with most of their songs made these classic pieces of music that will live on forever and ever....amen
I SO agree . . . .
I agree. Animals is a masterpiece.
I agree 100%.
Actually the mixing desk guys or gals were amazing. Putting in all the effects and echoes... Legendary

Same here. As a high school student this show (7/2/77) was my first at MSG (on the floor 30 rows from the front).
Wow. I’m 46 and have seen Phish 157 times and tell new fans about my experiences that I hold dearly. Yours is incredible. I missed Floyd even in 94, the dead too. You are blessed.
Was also at the Boston '77 show. You never forget the really, really great ones. So lucky to have seen them.
I’m jealous! I was born in the wrong generation.
@@jcurran01Floyd '94 at Yankee Stadium will likely remain possibly the best show I've ever seen. That's including 50+ Dead shows.

Great muziek van hoge intellectuele muziekanten. No 1 real time. PINK FLOYD
AWESOME!!!
I'm so glad I found this. Still my all time favorite in 2023. I'm 65.

My god Gilmour is making that strat sing at the beginning of shine on
Seems very simple but no one does it like him !

June, 1977, Chicago's Soldier Field. Same setlist. Still one of my top 5 concerts out of 50+.
This is Pink Floyd at their best
Nick Mason's drumming is phenomenal on this recording
This is the tour I would have most liked to have seen. The band was just fantastic.
And by the way, this one's PINK! And if I tell you the name of the game, boys, I call it riding the Gravy Train!
..that is really what I think... oh by the way.... which one's pink?
I attended this show, along with DSOTM and Wish You... tours. THIS was the best.
We all did too….jerk
@@Oh_I_Will Who is "We all" ?
This is one of the best Floyd bootlegs ever made!
Boston Gardens is a better recording.
@@TryptychUK love that show. 1975 tho is my fave
Oakland is better
We need a soundboard recording of a show from this tour. All we get from the 70’s is the Wembley 74 SBD. Come on Dave, please!!
Thank God this is on the inter web, man' you don't know how i was needing this show right here 👌 thumbs up for the OP ..
All of best for the sky Floyd
I need a time machine NOW.................
Me too.... Saw Led Zeppelin, and The Grateful Dead that summer too... It never got any better than the summer of 1977!
Tom Curry - year I graduated high school....Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, ELP full orchestra, Yes and Floyd.
Painéis
Laura i have no problem with u fantasizing at a Floyd show , but im afraid u hoping on a time machine aint going to work . . . just the Music ,pictures and memory .

I was at this show as well with my Brother and a shit load of friends. LIRR into Pen station.
Thank you for putting this out for our enjoyment.
Sitting here @ 62 and still remember as if it was yesterday.
I was there, thanks. Remember the fireworks.
Esa voz... Inconfundible, histriónica, desgarradora, melancolica, triste .... Grande ROGER... Makes me cry

Seen them in soldier field Chicago 77 Amazing
Was at the July 3rd show. People from the upper rows were throwing fireworks down to the floor seats. Crazy. During the show things calmed down until after the show when the lights came back on.
Rock music, live at its highest levels, ever.
My husband and I were at this show and it was amazing!
Fantastic show! Huge Floyd fan but was a bit young to see these shows as I was just 9 years old when this happened. Happy for what I saw and thankful for whoever taped these shows and put them on TH-cam! ❤️
I was there. I was 15 !!! Best concert I have ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot
Excellent note choices by Gilmour in that version of Dogs. Stellar middle solo 🤘🔥❤🔥🤘
YES! I was just listening to it as I saw your comment. :) It's fantastic.
They never cease to amaze me

Yet - 1) It was a hot summer day and, no place to hide from the sun - 2) Once you got your spot, it hit you after a while that you had like SEVEN HOURS before you would see the show - 3) EVERYONE was smoking weed. - 4) They did not have ANY warm up band. 5) Logistics of food, water, going to the bathroom, while waiting SO long. . . . It all added up to a sunburned, hot, stoned and tired crowd - not what you want as a band.
Looking back, the venue should not have opened the doors until only say, an hour or two before the start of the show. And yes, I SO bad that the band was not afraid of “boot-leg’s”, so purposefully not having the shows professionally shot on film! There were many unique aspects of that Chicago show that are not in the other, rare and few film clips I have seen from shows in other cities.
Thanks for sharing your memories. Interesting for just a basic one band concert- it must have a Festival feel to it. 7 hours in a hot sun is no fun. People drinking alcohol must have been dehydrated
Excellent recording! Tough to choose between this and Oakland 5/9/77...and if ya' can have 'em both,who would want to?! The Sony 152 SD must have been a hell of a deck (it's a Sony, so no surprise there!) A Taper buddy of mine had the 158 SD. For my ears,the combo of a Sony D5 (or D6) and a pair of Nak CM300's with the CP4 caps was capable of pulling down some pretty serious sound :-)
this is awesome, as someone who was at this show this is the best sound i heard. they had the garden hooked up for quadrophonic. we had a few aholes with fireworks but Roger put them in thier place. mis my buddy and brother who was with me. RIP Loose Bruce. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Oakland has better sound
Was there that night, thank you for posting this...don't know how or what this was recorded on, but for being over 40 years old it sounds good. With the lighting and Animals props that transitioned to the back stage screen for Wish You Were Here, I remember this concert to be intense that was way way beyond what just this audio is...was perfect live
BENDITO BOOTLEG QUE PRESERVOU ESTES SHOWS DO PINK FLOYD PARA GERAÇÕES FUTURAS OUVIREM O MAIS ELABORADO ROCK PROGRESSIVO!
Was blessed to be there all 4 nights - great recording
Thanks for this upload! I was at the Kemper Arena KCMO show June 21, 1977.
Do you have any photos?
@@HomePiggyHome Unfortunately no, only memories. I remember tickets could only be obtained by mail, limit 4. Also saw them May 26, 1988 in KC.
A rock band playing New York's M.S.G. four nights during the 4th Of July weekend in 1977 was just LOOKING for trouble. LOTS of fireworks.
Yes back then it was probably more crazier with Fireworks and chaos in New York back in 1977 than it is today. I remember being in Manhattan in 1986 on July 4 and it was nuts.
@@beholden1663 I saw a few shows at MSG in the mid to late 80's and the fireworks were plentiful. In fact at the Maiden show in 86 Bruce Dickinson had a fit when someone threw some fireworks near the stage. Shows we're freaking SCARY
I'm sure Roger hated it. "for fuks sake stop with the fireworks"
Snowy White doesn't get enough credit for his contribution to the live Floydian experience.
Yes. Hes was great at live shows, talented, gifted musician
Along with solos on "Pigs on the Wing pt. 2" and "Have a Cigar" I think he played a solo on "Shine on You Crazy Diamond pt. 9" and even on "Wish You Were Here". Possibly both solos on WYWH! Can anyone confirm?
Thank you for this really good recording. We're the fireworks from the audience? Bastards!! No wonder Roger went orrfff... Lol
wow!! thankyou so much, I was at this show in boston june 27, and it was the most amazing show, the sound was like nothing I had ever xperianced, the quadraphic was just mindblowing!! and of course the visual show was second to none, I have heard all the bootlegs on youtube, this by far is the closest thing to being there I have heard, its so clear , it brings me back to that night, so thankyou again, amazing!!
mostafa, i was there but it happened in a flash , glad for this moment captured for the ages
Ralph Fusella` I was there as well
I was there on the 4th of July... Non stop fucking M80's! Thank God that shit finally stopped around 79... I fucking hated it... Best Floyd album ever = Animals :)
Yeah, the MSG shows definitely had lots of fireworks being set off by the crowd. In retrospect it seems fairly understandable how Roger got to the point of spitting on these unruly fans just 4 days later in Montreal. Thank the kids with their M80s, or we very well wouldn't have gotten The Wall....
4 of July took on a whole new meaning back then in indoor venues
My first concert had a brick of fireworks almost land on my head. On acid. Sick shit
😱😲☠️
Shoot talking about messing up a good trip
I have the Wish you were here segment on vinyl and it is so high quality. amazing to hear the entire show!!
36:40 So cool that Dave added these fill-ins in this part! And it sounds so fucking good ... in general the stuff played in the refrain of Pigs also sounds so much cooler than on the album version
I was at this show as well as Led Zeppelin,ELP and Yes in the summer of 77 at MSG. As well as being fortunate to see these great shows,it was a constant fear of an M80 landing on your head.The Garden security was non existent and the crowds there that summer were REALLY rowdy. Glad I was there but it was scary.No wonder Waters hated arena gigs.
How many fireworks do you remember?
So many great bands on tour in 1977! It was the Year!
I was at pink eagles El o concerts 77
That was the “ summer of Sam” in NY and the New York City Blackout
Rick's outro on Welcome to the Machine here is just stellar.
Nice upload! Someone taped "Caught In The Crossfire" for me when it came out - the bootleg debut of this show, and for kids in the 80's unconnected to tape trading, bootlegs were about all we had access to... anyhow, I remember that lp blowing me away, quality-wise. Now reading about Louis Falanga...
I was there one of the youngest kids there,, I had cool older sisters, 3rd Show, 1st one was Ten Years After 2nd Robin Trower, then I got into punk 1978 what a blast
Floyd has always expanded my mind and put me in a day dream state or like that old commercial pink Floyd take me away god bless
Thanks for sharing 🙏💜
Shine on 💎
Best Application of a cowbell in a song-ever!...
Then again,"honky-tonk woman" is pretty fuckn dope as well so....wtvr...more cowbell..
Good shouts both.
Got to throw in Booker T and the Mg's "Soul Limbo" if we're talking cowbell!
🐖🐑🐕
I was at this show! I’ll never forget it! 😎😎🤩🎸🎸
Obrigado por postar,masi um show dessa tournée maravilhosa do Animals.....incluindo músicas do Wish You Where Here e Dark Side Of The Moon......Espetacular!!!!
Some things are difficult to describe in words and I believe this concert and especially this quality is pure indescribable magic. I wholeheartedly thank the uploader for giving me a glimpse of the power Floyd possessed during that 77 tour which in my view their greatest tour. Floyd at the height of their absolute artistic power doing things only they could do. I would give anything to go back in time and be among the lucky souls who were witnessing greatness of that level. Greatest musical act to ever walk the earth bar absolutely none at the peak of their creative powers. What a privilege and honor to have this recording after more than 40 years to give our generations the chance to listen to the supreme band at their very best.
STIMMT ABSOLUT !
DENKE DAS 2020 DIE ANIMALS BOX ERSCHEINT 1973 - 86
SCHÖNE WEIHNACHTEN & EIN SUPER 2020
Ya ahssrah alla zamen
Absolutely well said.
My thoughts exactly. I was only 9 when this concert happened but I grew up on Long Island just outside where this took place-so this has nostalgic emotions for me.
Thank you for expressing what I couldn't.
"Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland awaaaayyyyyyyy" WOW, The Floyd sound incredible on this night in New York City!!! Selling out MSG 4 nights in a row in America & 1 of the shows is on the 4th of July???? That's the BIG-TIME. Not bad for a cult band from England
THE FIREWORKS DAMN
It was unbelievably loud inside Madison Square Garden for these shows. The fireworks weren't as loud as the band! No kidding. THOSE were the days!
My pops snuck into the Garden for this concert at 16! He just sent me this link to share that experience, albeit not the same, still cool!
Awesome, I’d love to hear how he snuck in to the “Worlds most famous arena.” Your pops must haves been born in 1961 just like my older brother.
i was there that night with my buddy Loose Bruce RIP
I was fortunate enough to see pink floyd on the animals tour in Atlanta Ga.i was a mere 13 yrs.old at the time.It was a mind altering experience-a game changer.some concerts resonate a couple days or less.some a week.some a month or more.some a year-4-5 maybe..That Pink Floyd show resonates to this day..words offer no justice towards explaining it.this takes me back there in bits atleast.how did we get from there to the bs of today.its a joke-aint nobody laughing-except the evil ones..
1:21:04 It's the first time I hear intro solo to Wish You Were Here played on the electric guitar. Also it sounds like Snowy White could be playing it. A lot of compression, some phaser... strange
That's David playing the intro solo, evident by the Yamaha RA-200 you can hear on the tone. I don't think there is any real phasing other than the phasing that comes naturally from the Yamaha rotating speaker. Snowy was playing the acoustic part.
I hope someone is inventing a time machine just to see this. Seen all 4 but not together. This had to be amazing to see. No doubt.
Wow. This is peak Pink Floyd.
Thank you for all the work you have done 💯
The bleak music had a lot of beauty. Rick wright playing up a storm. I guess anything great only lasts a short time. Then it’s gone. Maybe that’s the most one can hope for. They achieved it.
at 48:22 sounded like a bomb going off. I jumped in my chair hearing that w/ my earphones
lol I think it was an IED....
Lmfao
Sounds like a M-80
This is quite good! Good sound for an audience recording!
This could be audience but I feel it’s a boot of the desk / soundboard.
God this show hits so hard
5.15 mins ~onwards, possibly my fave Floyd bits ever... 'Raving and drooling I fell on his neck with a Scream!...this is a fantastic Live rendition. Cheers. 🎼🎶🐶🎸🎶🎤🌳🥁🎵🎭
For me their peak. Certainly live.
Unfortunately, Dave didn’t care for Animals or its tour
@@Oh_I_WillI guess that explains why Dogs never appeared on any setlist for the AMLoR and DB yours. Instead they played The Dogs of War (which is an awful song).
Snowy played lead on Shine On Part 6/7 link and second solo on Part 8 as well.
Why do people use fireworks in a PF concert?
The TOP ONE of things i'll never understand.
The Fireworks made Roger Waters concept of building a wall between the stage and the audience,great gig.
I was only 5 and would loved to have seen Pink Floyd in there prime
It was not just PF - it happened at pretty much every large arena or stadium show by a major touring band at the time. Saw Aerosmith walk offstage around the same time in the 70's because idiots were lighting off M-80's near the stage - those were powerful enough to blow fingers off your hand - if not your entire hand - KISS - Ted Nugent - Robin Trower - Black Sabbath - Blue Öyster Cult - practically any show with LOUD aggressive music had audience fireworks going off.
@@billyz5088 I kinda think it was because the 4th of July was two days away, and in the US there is fireworks on 4th of July. If they played two days before the Lunar New Year in China, I bet there would be people throwing firecrackers. Or if they played in Central Europe two days before Christmas.
I kinda get why Roger lost it with the audience...
They did it so that decades after the show, people like you can mention it in the comment section and get a few frivolous likes instead of just saying THANKS FOR POSTING THIS AMAZING SHOW.
Attended in this tour in Chicago
Thank you for this upload ✌️
I was there on july 2 or3 not sure of the date, judgeing from the fireworks at the beginning this is that night
when these guys went on stage something truly amazing happens like a harmony within sophistication naw but everyone know's what i mean relax sit back enjoy the show!
This version of Money is the best version I’ve ever heard!
Playing Madison square garden 4 nights in a row. That's the big time!!!!!!! Not bad for a druggie cult band from england🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧........... The Floyd were a real force
Amen
prog band but yeah all the same
The best performance of Shine On You Crazy Diamond for Roger on this tour. On every other recording he's so out of tune, out of melody. Here his voice is actually pleasant. So mellow and calm.
I wonder if has to do with the other recordings were dry desk signal chains vs the wet audio post effects. I’ve heard some of those other shows from 77 (I dig them) but there’s not as much or any effects on the vocals. Even the guitars sound dry in areas. This one is more advanced.
Grazie
Would love to have this available as a download.
Biggest selling concert of all time of say
Over 10 million people claimed to be at it!!
Nice mix. Levels are superb. Feel like I' m in the front row. Well done and many thanks.
You can't hear the spit here, but this is a great recording with huge quality anyway!
Wrong show
Spit was at Olympic Stadium Montreal
Guitar solos in Have a Cigar are impressive...
Daamn, I think this is a bit better than the live Oakland same tour.
Tight AF..more powerful and organic sounding
Edit..the heaviest version of Pigs(3 diff) I've ever heard and I've seen them live twice.
Pigs is my favorite song too and I love this version here. Can't stop hear it 🐖🤘
I can FEEL the soul of Rick
When you feel the soul of Rick you feel the soul of Pink Floyd ...
@1:48:07 “I hope they play time” I feel you buddy🥹
Best Pink Floyd concert. If only they played Echoes
Facts
New York Animals tour 77!!!!
Best of the best!🐑🐕🐖🎸🇬🇧🎩
None of the many boots from this tour that I've heard have been stereo and suddenly there are two in as many weeks.
You’re obviously new to the PF Gig world…check out Guitars101 for some great DLs from PF and thousands of others
I was at this show!
We all were….not just you
did you record this, or someone in the road crew? its such a tragedy that Floyd didn't film any of these shows, this show in my opinion blew away the wall show, wich I saw feb 28 80, don't get me wrong it was still a great show, but this show was still the best
Yes agree , this show was awesome. Wall had more going on, But the music and sound on this was indeed phenomenal . I was at both conecerts.
I sure didn't record this. I wasn't even born until a few months after the original Wall shows ended. I believe it's a Louis Falanga recording. I'm editing the description right now to add the source lineage for those interested. But, on another note, my channel name and photo come from the Wall show you attended at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
I was there. I graduated high school 1977.
Completely agree. This is by far the best show. Everything including The vocals and perfect
@@HomePiggyHome what exactly has you channel name to do with the wall show at nassau?
