PINK FLOYD

Other recs for the animals tour other than Oakland ?

Fort Worth, May 1 1977 (bootleg title: Iron Pigs On Fire) - furious show from the start. An instrumental of "Killing Me Softly" comes on during the collage. There's a tech problem with Dick Parry's sax on SOYCD and "Money" but it's worth checking out if you're a Wright fan - one of his best nights of the tour.

Waters screams "35" during "Pigs" at 47:20.

For the longest time, I could have sworn that the Animals ("In the Flesh") tour stopped in Denver. I distinctly remember hearing about the inflatable animals on the radio. However, I can find no evidence of that.

I also remember my old man seeing Floyd on said tour. However, this now appears to be an impossibility. I am guessing that he instead saw this one, since it is one of only two stops they made in Denver in the 70s:

APR 17 1975
Pink Floyd Setlist
at Denver Coliseum, Denver, CO, USA
Tour: Wish You Were Here

Sheep (Early version, known as "Raving and Drooling")
Dogs (Early version, known as "You Gotta Be Crazy")
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)
Have a Cigar
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX)

"The Dark Side of the Moon"
Speak to Me
Breathe
On the Run
Time
Breathe (Reprise)
The Great Gig in the Sky
Money
Us and Them
Any Colour You Like
Brain Damage
Eclipse

Encore:
Echoes

If this is the show he saw, I am literally dying of envy.

According to Yeeshkul, there are no known recordings of that show either. Pity...

the assertion that gigolo aunt was based on hi ho silver lining is blowing my mind. i believe!

what a drag they didn't play wish you were here on the wish you were here tour lol

.maybe both Gigolo Aunt and Hi Ho Silver Lining were inspired by Happy Together by the Turtles.

could well be.

young Syd drawing pictures of Beck playing in his obscure pre-Yardbirds band and saying the Tridents are up there with the Beatles and Stones is blowing my mind. I never even heard of the Tridents until this week. People in Syd world going deep over the timing, of when Lucy Leave was recorded, when Syd would've seen Beck play pre Yardbirds.

I've also just done a deep dive and playlist making session on the Yardbirds, whom I've always loved in a greatest hits sense, but listening to some of the stuff they had out in 66 and realizing they really do deserve the credit as one the crucial pioneers of psychedelia, though that's a discussion for another day.

Also to credit them, as a band who often had hits with songs they didn't write, to have covered Nilson and the Velvet Undergound pretty goddamn early is pretty awesome.

after awhile you can work on points for style

So how did they do the guitar harmonies on Dogs live?

In any case this live Floyd is so f’in great

Drove around today and listened to DSOTM through Animals on a grey, overcast day with no rain. I'd like to posit that those are the ideal atmospheric conditions.

So how did they do the guitar harmonies on Dogs live?

Snowy White played on the tour - guitar (and occasional bass).

Cool so I guess that’s him on the backing parts of Shine On too

what a drag they didn't play wish you were here on the wish you were here tour lol

If that's a reference to the Denver show, the album wouldn't be released for another five months.

maybe both Gigolo Aunt and Hi Ho Silver Lining were inspired by Happy Together by the Turtles.

I doubt it, he already based 'Dominoes' on 'Happy Together'

Good 2020 interview with Snowy White:

and a Yeeshkul thread on who played what on the 1977 tour

"as fast as Gilmour can go) he will never do that after, and some soaring solos (remember the July 2, 1977 Madison Square Garden)"
welp there's my next download

Details starting to emerge of the rumoured 50th anniversary Dark Side box set:

It will, of course, rule

15 November 1974 at Empire Pool, London: After 37:51 of unfamiliar songs (SOYCD, Raving And Drooling) someone hollers "1967!" Roger retorts "You're wrong, it's 1974... and this is another new tune, especially for you!" (17min "You Gotta Be Crazy" starts)

More Dark Side box news:

that looks absolutely worthless

pretty sad fate for an album that rules so much

hmm yeah, it's not even the complete Wembley show? Because a double (triple?) LP of that gig would rule.

Let the 2000 people in the world with a home atmos setup buy it, as much as it rules, I ain't paying for this fucking record again.

you're saying your living room doesn't look like this?!

just imagine the neighbors in that apartment building — "is he really listening to the atmos remix of dark side of the moon *again*????"

I have observations about that photo, but I'll save them for the hoffman board.

Happy that the live show is getting a standalone list, that's all I want.

(although I really wish it was actually the full show)

two subs is completely stupid and unnecessary

reminds me of one of my favorite amazon reviews:

two subs is completely stupid and unnecessary

Not completely true. A single subwoofer helps with bass extension (i.e. going lower) but doesn't help with bass' weird room interactions in most real world (i.e. avg living room) settings. One solution is multiple subs (distributed bass array) which doesn't make the bass go any lower, but helps greatly with room interactions in untreated rooms by basically beaming bass semi-randomly everywhere in the room and hopefully filling in the gaps.

NB: I have no subs because of space.

Oh my god

See you on the dark side.

I saw that yesterday, just amazing rotting brain syndrome everywhere.

graphic design has really taken a nose dive since 72 huh

Tell me you're repressed without telling me you're repressed.

You re-pressed Saucerful of Secrets without telling me?!

wonder if that's Michael Donovan of Dewsbury

Looks like the feud between Waters and I guess Gilmour just got a whole lot worse. Not sure why Gilmour's wife Polly Samson tweeted that out to Waters (truth be told, I didn't realize she was married to Gilmour until 10 minutes ago), but maybe someone here does?

yeah I wasn't sure what she was responding to, unless it was his previous tweet that Israel was smearing him. No doubt Waters has gotten beyond the pale; I don't like the government of Israel either, but the dude is so in the bag for putin he can't be trusted on anything. Her slamming him for lip synching was pretty funny. Gilmoure retweeted her with his support on the statement.

It's a bit weird that these 80 year olds are bothering to even snipe at each other at this point.

I read something about them having a Ukrainian daughter in law? That may explain some of it. Regardless, Roger is such a notorious crank and asshole that it's not that hard to find reasons why someone would dislike him. Here's one more reason I just learned of: he's reportedly re-recording "Dark Side of the Moon": "The new concept is meant to reflect on the meaning of the work, to bring out the heart and soul of the album... musically and spiritually. I’m the only one singing my songs on these new recordings, and there are no rock and roll guitar solos."

What a dick.

thank god someone is finally taking those sick guitar solos out of Dark Side

tbf, it's gotta be better than that "Great Dance Song" version of "Money".

All solos will be on kazoos.

It won't RULE.

It would rule if Pink Floyd did that though

i think the flaming lips already did it?

rog & dave endlessly feuding def does not rule … besides feuding via yr wives gets you into super lame queensryche territory which, cmon

taking the guitar solos out of dark side rmde“mm yes i love this new bread-only quarter pounder i really hate all the everything that makes it taste good”
can’t we get him to like, idk, volunteer to go to the actual moon & stay there
