I hope there are young people under 25 listening to this recording. Kids, this is as high as it gets. This is the pinnacle of 70s Floyd.

I passed on going to this concert because I didn't think Pink Floyd would be able to do justice live for many of their songs. My brother did attend the show, and said it was the best concert he ever saw. It's so great for me to have a chance to listen 46 years later!

[@HiPlains1]

I have to say this. May 9, 1977. Considered the best live Grateful Dead show EVER. May 9, 1977, considered the best PF show EVER. Must have been some amazing energy in the air that day.

I dig this...Too bad the Dead were honest and loyal to the music and their fans...And the floyd couldn't get along......Can you imagine if Floyd shared half the live music the Dead did...

Wasn’t that May 8th?

[@shawnomalley7398]

@@2v_5r84 yes it was....5/8/77. 2 great bands, very different from each other. One played the same show every night thru a tour, the other never played the same show thru any tour. One played for their fans and to serve the music, the other played for god knows what reasons...none strong enough to get the over the hump of their inter personal BS. (it's never too late for Dave and Rog to bury the hatchet. Until it is)

I didnt see PF until 1987. I was 20. NOW--I go back to listen to their 60's & 70's concerts & ANYTHING they do now does not compare to their IMPROV performances/ Without the well-known lineup the majority of us know, it's not the same/ It was magic--you CANT duplicate that without Roger/ The circle is only complete with the Magic 4 man formula!!! Argue all you want--they ALL NEED each other to pull it off

[@markboyd6628]

Syd barret included. He was the initial front man.

[@relentlesscactus]

I can tell you without even having to look that this was a Thursday night. Because I was a junior in a senior science class in high school. And on a certain Friday morning, half the class had been at this concert the night before, and I heard all about how amazing the concert was (and they were probably all still high). I wasn't quite into Pink Floyd yet, and as the years have gone by, I have increasingly regretted not having been into Floyd a couple of years earlier and gone to that show!

[@marccosta7376]

Love how Gilmour starts to freak out with his strat at Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1:00:58....definitely no bands like this nowadays.

I was there at this Oakland concert. I count it as one of the two best rock concerts that I've ever seen. (the other one was The Who, touring behind "Who's Next". That show was in Miami Beach,Florida)

[@jimedenbaum2525]

The sound that starts up at the end of "Pigs On The Wing" was something that was played through the quad sound system, so it "moved" across the arena as the sound intensifies. It was done several times before the concert started too - this loud, rushing, sound would fly around the room via quad mixing. 15 year old me thought it was somehow invoking the subways of NYC...

[@onurterzi5717]

Yes, Pigs and Money are really great and overall this concert is above the line. But guys, Careful that axe Eugene, isn't that devastating? That's the combination of darkness and perfection!

I remember exactly where I was, (a snack bar in the City of London) when I read the Melody Maker review of Animals, got the album the next day. Really one of their best ever and often overlooked. The new remix is stunning. Never got to see this tour but did see The Wall at Earles Court - just awesome. Thanks for posting, great audio, it sounds as though it’s from the mixer desk, but also has the crowd - radio broadcast? - regardless, one of the best live bootleg recordings I’ve heard. Dogs is one of my all time favourite Floyd songs, fabulous version on this recording. And of course Shine on … (My commuter journey would go past Battersea Power Station and I would never look at it the same way again … !)

The night before arguably the best Grateful Dead show ever 5/8/77 Cornell. May 77 was a good month !

[@davidjordan2336]

I saw the Dead at Cornell a few years after that, and surprisingly they weren't very good, at least to my ears. It felt like they'd been on the road too long and just wanted to go home, so they were just cranking it out. A big disappointment for me. And as always, terrible acoustics in the gym, which didn't help. So I was surprised to hear a while back that a previous Cornell show is considered their best ever. Too bad I missed that one.

[@theodorefrant2516]

I was there and it was fantastic.

[@bloomz1]

Wife and I bought 20 tickets for each night and took all our friends. Cost was $8.50 each - we were flying, and not just from the music, which took it over the top. In 1993 when I saw them at the Rose Bowl, I realized it was music one didn't need to get high for. It was still over the top. After this show we follwed Floyd around the country and saw this tour 9 times, MSG all 4 nights, ending with the Montreal Olympic stadium for the last night of the tour. - until the next tour, 17 times altogether. Added: and now Roger 7 times - greatest shows on Earth

[@christianandersen8931]

I had to buy this album on CD because I had played it on vinyl so many times it was unplyable 😊

....самое лучшее исполнение SHEEPS!!! PINK Floyd BEST!

[@michaelepstein5447]

I was in the 10th grade - a soon to be better friend gave me a ticket the day of the show. It was the first night so that was 5/8. They played all of Animals, all of Wish You Were Here, and Money and Us And Them. It was the easily the best complete performance I ever saw, and that's saying something as I have seen Days on the Green, The Dead on NYE, almost all the great gutarists, etc. I will never forget the power of Gilmour's guitar late in Dogs - he only hits a few single notes and you just know that he could blow the roof off of the place if he felt like it.
