Pink Floyd's "Sheep" Recreated

The follow-up to my 2012 recreation of “Pigs (Three Different Ones).” Thanks again to Stove Clock (Hammond organ, vocoder, synth). Running down the gear:
Rhodes keys: IK Multimedia SampleTank through Amplitube, partially phased with plug-in, with panning automation
Bass: Atlansia Stealth through original EHX Small Stone phaser pedal into Tech 21 SansAmp DI + Amplitube
Drums: Roland V-Drums with multiband limiter
Guitar: Ibanez Roadstar II through Tech 21 SansAmp DI + Amplitube + Line 6 POD (turned up in the outro), delay plug-in
Organ: Hammond A100 with Leslie 122 speaker, recorded by Jonathan Herrera at Airship Laboratories, Richmond, CA
Vocal: Shure SM58 mic inside an aluminum can. I was having trouble recreating Roger's resonance high in his vocal range, and having used a cardboard tube on “Pigs,” I tried aluminum. It sounded cool at the time, but it might not have been a great idea, as I had to EQ-out a lot of harsh overtones during mixing.
Synth that the vocal morphs into in the verses: Univox Maxikorg
Claptrap noise at 3:55: Airship Laboratories’ Leslie speaker idling, slowed down, amplified, and f’d up
Other synthesizers: IK Multimedia SampleTank, Korg Microkorg
Vocoder: Korg Microkorg
“Stone” echo around 4:15: In 1999 I recreated “Dogs” on a Tascam 38 analog 8-track (audio only). While recording this “Sheep” video, I restored the Tascam machine for the purpose of rescuing that sound and a few others. They will be featured when I re-do “Dogs,” to complete a recreation of the entire Animals album on KZbin - yes, that’s what I’m doing next!

Brilliant. Not only the musicianship, but most people have no idea the time and dedication invested in something like this to learn, play, layer, mix and put all of this together as we see/hear it in the final stage. You, sir, are a very talented individual.

[@londonlore5881]

💯% agree 👍🏽 One of my all time favourite tracks and they nailed it in every area 🥹

[@shakey27]

The whole Animals album is pure genius. You do it justice.

[@scottyo2490]

A VERY complex song. I would say that you did an excellent job recreating. 👌

[@sippy9387]

HE BLENDED THE VOCALS AND SYNTH NOTE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@joshuavargas9668]

its the little things man!!!

[@seanmatthewking]

I always loved that how the vocals of that long note just bleed into the synth. So much great stuff on this album.

[@SpitFire1940]

I claim to know literally every note, sound, glitch and basically the pulse of this album. I am impressed.

[@GTElwood]

Your dedication to this masterpiece, is remarkable. Sheep is very sophisticate to play.👏

[@jarethfranz]

man the piano work is amazing

[@zzzzziiiiiiiizzzzz3515]

Most underrated KZbin channel of all time

[@dspguitar]

This man is quite talented. Good voice and good musician. I'm impressed.

[@fly1327]

Excellent cover, one of my favorites, from a band way ahead of their time. Thanks!

[@andresgonzales3013]

This is insane.

[@themadhiker]

Stunning recreation, good work! I don't know what nitpicking is going on below but as a Floyd fan for the best part of 30 years this is fantastic.

[@mkphotonet]

The best ever version of the Sheep spoken interlude part was by Pat Robertson circa 1977 (yes that Pat Robertson on the 700 Club). As he read the lyrics from the Animals album he railed against this demon music and the art of karate. I’m still hoping to find this clip on the web someday.

[@justanothergamer7918]

Holy shit this is the best cover of Sheep I have ever heard. Keep up the great work.

[@youtoo2233]

Love 70s Pink Floyd and Roger Waters is one of my favorite vocalists, well done maestro well done!!

[@feketerj]

This dude deserves way more views!

[@hudijana]

Excellent. Could not be better.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Amazing how faithful of a rendition you did of Pink Floyd's SHEEP. Incredible. You have an awesome voice and playing ability as a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. Absolutely loved your rendition of PIGS (Three Different Ones) also.

[@thelostblokes4773]

Well now you have to Dogs you know...gotta do the whole album! This is fantastic.

[@Lamster66]

Glad to see the Hammond part played on a Hammond

[@1982joe1982]

How does one dissect such a complicated mix of a song so thoroughly and recreate it with this type of understanding, precision and emulation - I've been playing music since 1972 and thought I had seen a lot - You must have excellent isolation software or something to parse out all of those mixed up overdubs enough to grab them individually - My hat is off to you sir for your multi instrument masteries, vocals, mixing talents and ability to capture the subtleties that bring these songs home - I can't believe in 6 years I haven't seen this or none of my friends steered me to it

[@maximeroy4162]

My personal favorite from them. And I am not disapointed with that cover. Even the sounds used are pretty similar to those on the record. Good job!

[@SpaceCapsuleOne]

Spectacular rendition. Congrats on this!!!!

[@thatonemusicgoth]

I don't know what to say... The singer sounds spot on and the music is too. Make one of the song Obscured By Clouds and you got yourself a subscriber

[@Eric31477]

First, let me say that I have been listening to Pink Floyd for almost 25 years and they are my favorite band...and my favorite album happens to be Animals. That being said, I THANK YOU for not only recreating "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" as well as "Sheep", but for the quality of work and dedication that you and Stove Clock have put into these songs. Looking forward to the entire album! Also, "Animals" will be getting the SACD 5.1 Muti-Channel Hybrid treatment and is due out sometime in 2019. SHINE ON!!!!

[@shekinah951]

Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You were Here, Saucerful of Secrets, Meddle, in that order. The Wall doesn't grab me as a full album like the others. Though a few treasures exist in that one.

[@Eric31477]

@@shekinah951 I agree with your order, only: 1. Animals 2. WYWH 3. DSoTM 4. Meddle (specifically, Echoes) 5. The Wall I am aware there are Pink Floyd albums pre 70s and post 70s but none of those complete albums are my taste, except for a few songs here and there.

[@a2z1123]

Nailed it. Thanks. You either love Pink Floyd or your wrong.

[@mattg2106]

Awesome - didn't think it could get better than your Dogs cover. Superb skills

[@JohnWhipp]

Just noticed, exactly 30,000 views!... This video deserves every one of them and many many more, fantastic work!

[@jamescunningham3265]

Vocals are bang on mate. What I’d say most people struggle with. It’s all good learning the parts and playing well but when you try and sing and it’s shite it ruins it. This is perfection

[@gbmacbook4364]

Only 1.7 K views in 4 years? Incredible! Thank you, really incredible.

[@VianoMusicAcademy]

44k now. Progress

[@ryanr902]

Impossible to convey how much I enjoyed this. 👏👏🤘

[@BitcoinMotorist]

We are hearing the birth of The Wall soundscape with the bass on this song. This was from the album that came out just before The Wall

[@ross102591]

Stellar cover. Bravo!

[@deepfreeze11]

Pink Floyd music all about details , and these guys nailed it 👏

[@yuvgotubekidding]

I always thought that fading the vocal out while phasing the synthesizer in was a master stroke. Especially in 1977.

[@frankfjm88]

You guys should be a Floyd cover band!

[@shuggabizkit3269]

Great cover man. Been exploring this tune inside and out. The live versions, studio outtakes. This song was truly a masterpiece from the start. The early versions are awesome too. Darker. If I had the time I’d love to make covers like this. Looks fun as hell man. Rock on!

[@axlmoramontoya6489]

I Wonder why this cover is so underrated... This sounds amazing... Great work, greetings and respect from Costa Rica ❤️✨

[@milkwater1204]

absolutely phenomenal cover!

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

Incredible absolutely magical you guys were spot on the bass guitar 🎸 sound amazing. I know that song by heart and I know all the sound effects including the vocoder and synthesizer Rhodes piano and Sci Fi Electronic effects guitars and drums were truly just like the original oh The Organ keyboards just incredible so creative so perfect you guys recreated one of Pink Floyd Sheep down to every sound in one of my all time favorite Sci Fi electronic Synthstrumentals ever recorded also the sheep and bird sounds so cool too. Can you guys also recreate Dogs with all it's amazing electronic sound effects too.. Thanks very much for this awesome experience.

[@carlosrivera5692]

Great cover, underated song

[@c.3479]

I'm looking forward to see the whole album! Great job!!

[@leecole5968]

Who's the muppets who thumbs downed it. This is amazing. Brilliant playing

[@chrisallgod1792]

I've seen this video multiple times on different occasions very well done and even gives me an Idea on how this looks, Great Job!

[@londonlore5881]

Excellent! One of my fave songs, and you nailed it pretty well!

[@michaelaparicio3182]

I've listened three times so far. I love how your performances simmer with intensity.

[@Shawn-vb4yb]

I absolutely love all of your recreations of the Animals album. Thankyou so much for nailing these with such a high level of attention to all the details. very inspirational.

[@drummer375]

Another outstanding Floyd recreation

Severely under-appreciated.

[@MarcoPolo-je5ej]

This is amazing. You've really topped yourself after doing Pigs(Three Different Ones), which was brilliant. Well done indeed! 👍

[@jpmillman1]

Loved it, every second of it. Great production, even with the electronic drums.

[@tlaxa]

Waited a long time for this! Great!!

[@bekkahrj6792]

This is my favorite song by them. Since I first heard it in 1994. It was on a tape. With One of These Days. My other favorite. As if I could choose. 🤯

[@futuragrabados9458]

Excelente !!!!!! saludos desde Argentina

[@simonroberts7659]

[@alexrizzo]

Fantastic! Really very good, congratulations!👏👏👏

[@Fe-Ree]

Maan I watched your cover of pigs about three years ago and ever since I was mind blown of how great you did that cover and how you kept the true Floyd spirit in it alive it’s just pure genius and today I watched it again and then I saw your comment saying you will be doing a cover of sheeps and believe me you this was the greatest cover of this song I have ever seen though I don’t think anyone can even think of covering this song good job man you’re amazing

[@OldMysticFantasist]

Bloody brilliant Mates!!!

[@pg9551]

Great cover guys !!!

[@erhanyarar3796]

Deeply talented with joy… lostinpinkfloyd

[@MrStarchild3001]

Wow! Really amazing job.

[@Tdrummer888]

Your cover of Pigs Three Different Ones was my actual introduction to Animals and led to my obsession, and I had always wanted you to do Dogs and Sheep. Too bad I forgot to check your channel until now!!

[@brianmccanonbmccanon1997]

Very much in sync with the Floyd, thanks for doing it.

[@hinglemccringleberry9389]

Thank you so much for this!

[@Rozq]

Your pigs was epic and now this. I am speechless as before :))

[@dantesalighieri]

THAT TOTALLY BLEW MY MIND

[@zx83]

Magical talent. I love it!! Sounds brilliant! Better than all the cover bands out there. And your voice!

[@billygoat126]
