Oakland 77 I found on youtube, it Rules

I hope this rumour about Steven Wilson remixing Wet Dream and David Gilmour's (1st album) is true.

I saw that mentioned as well. I'm not familiar with that Wright album at all, I suppose I should give it a listen.

It's very mellow, half-instrumental, with a few great chord progressions that probably wouldn't have fit on Animals or The Wall.

XP - Oakland is hard to beat, Montreal, Paris, and Madison Sq Gardens are a bit rougher but still pretty vibey, insane-sounding crowd on the NY gig especially.

yeah NY crowd is wild! that’s the only other animals boot i’ve heard

me too, because it was mysteriously cheap on amazon. it's a fine mix I guess though I think I read it was a folddown?
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Thursday, 12 January 2023 03:03 (one year ago) link
apparently i'm wrong, it's just not as drastically different from the stereo as piper's mono mix is. anyway it's never been an album I was deeply familiar with, so now I basically only know this mono mix and it's great
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Thursday, 12 January 2023 03:05 (one year ago) link
What’s the deal with the mono mix? I’m a casual Floyd fan, I’ve only got the 5 or so key albums and i’ve never heard Saucerful…. Almost bought it twice due to this thread and fomo.
― Cow_Art, Thursday, 12 January 2023 03:08 (one year ago) link
set the controls has a longer fadeout, is the main thing based on what I just read. the weird panning on the album is obv eliminated; I don't recall weird panning when listening to the stereo version of this but like I said I'm not that familiar with it.
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Thursday, 12 January 2023 03:10 (one year ago) link
It's really In-Your-Face like a lot of later mono mixes are.

that's even more true of the Piper mono IMO. that thing sounds excellent.

When Syd and the Floyd first went into the studio the other band in there was the Tridents. Look, Syd drew Jeff Beck with his guitar the wrong way round. pic.twitter.com/PoepBZLcNT— Rob Chapman (@rcscribbler) January 12, 2023

Count me as another fan of Piper in mono. I actually like the run of albums from Meddle to The Wall (albeit to varying degrees), but Piper is easily my favorite.

I found Wet Dream on CD many years ago in a charity shop at the same time I found Chill Out and SAW II. For a while it was part of my ambient listening.

Cleveland 77! a little ratty sound-wise in spots but that just adds to the hectic, sun blazed crowd vibe ("if you are holding the other line connected to the pig please let go"), towards the end of the tour and some of the "Animals" stuff is getting pretty tough, a week or so before Waters spit on a fan and Gilmour walked off, another brick in the wall...

During the sound collage at the start of "Have a Cigar" it sounds like the dial in a local radio station playing Rush and it is a profoundly perfect bit of audio surrealism, the whole thing Rules

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.

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 1975Pink Floyd Setlistat 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 CigarShine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX)
"The Dark Side of the Moon"Speak to MeBreatheOn the RunTimeBreathe (Reprise)The Great Gig in the SkyMoneyUs and ThemAny Colour You LikeBrain DamageEclipse
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...

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.

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.
