I really really love the way Harper sings in "Have a Cigar"! Especially this line: "Everybody else is just greeeeee-eeen!". It's like the businessman is totally into it with the charts n stuff and he's nearly losing control. Awesome!

Animals is my favorite album of all time. :hefdaddy

I'm glad to hear others get great enjoyment out of it. My only complaint is that it ends too quickly. :P

I'm in the process of getting the bootleg entitled "Who Was Trained Not To Spit On The Fan?" Now, I'm sure most of you know the relevance of this gig, but to know who don't I'll explain.

It's from the famous Animals tour! They play the entire Animals, Wish You Were Here, Money, Us And Them, and conclude with More Blues. Long story short, this specific gig was the gig that inspired RW to write The Wall! I'll copy and paste some info.


----------------


Notes:

Olympic Stadium (Montreal)
In 1977, Pink Floyd wrapped up their Animals tour at this venue. During the performance, Roger Waters started to sing "Pigs on the Wing 2", but was interrupted by an audience member setting off a firecracker near the stage. He stopped singing and shouted out, "Oh, for fuck's sake. Stop letting off fireworks and shouting and screaming. I'm trying to sing a song." The crowd cheered at this. He continued: "I mean I don't care. If you don't wanna hear it, you know... Fuck you! I'm sure there's a lot of people here who do want to hear it. So why don't you just be quiet... If you wanna let your fireworks off, go outside and let them off out there. And if you wanna shout and scream and holler go and do it out there but... I'm trying to sing a song that some people want to listen to. I want to listen to it!"

He then continued with the song. The situation continued to deteriorate, however, and during "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", Waters watched incredulously as one fan climbed the netting that separated the audience from the band. Out of disgust, Waters spat in the fan's face. Near the end of the show, Pink Floyd guitarist and singer David Gilmour was reported to have walked off the stage in disgust, sitting out the final encore. Following the performance, Waters regretted his actions, and began to lament the separation between the audience and band. It was this which caused Waters to come up with the idea of the critically acclaimed album The Wall. The band would not play at the stadium again until 1988, after Waters' departure, on their A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. On that occasion, the performance went smoothly. They subsequently returned to the venue on their 1994 The Division Bell tour.

The 1977 show has been released as a bootleg, humorously titled "Who Was Trained Not To Spit on the Fan". This title is derived from the lyrics to the song "Dogs" - the actual lyrics are "Who Was Trained Not To Spit in the Fan."

Tread revival!

Has anyone seen the Australian Pink Floyd show? From the clips I've seen, they seem superb, and truly the ultimate Pink Floyd tribute. I might see them on November 5th in the same venue I saw Progressive Nation 2009 at.

It sounds boring, I know, but their three best, to me, are Dark Side of the Moon (best album EVER), The Wall and Wish You Were HereAnimals and The Division Bell would round out my top 5.



this
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

But Meddle is vastly underrated, and almost equals the genius of above records.

I never understood the love to Meddle that pops up peridocially. Echoes is probably one of my top 5 Floyd songs, and has been since the first time I heard it. But nothing else on that album is impressive at all. It's not bad, like Atom Heart Mother bad, it just is mediocre overall.

Agreed (except I would consider "Echoes" a top 20 Floyd song, not top 5). 

Side 1 simply isn't that strong.  "One of These Days" is great (although I've never thought that the studio version was that good, unlike the live versions, which are always stellar), but "Seamus" and "San Tropez" are both pretty forgettable.  "A Pillow of Winds" and "Fearless" are both nice, but neither are essential or songs I would go out of my way to listen to.

I tend to listen to Side One of Meddle more than Side Two.  I liked Pink Floyd's "regular" songs, before Roger Waters decided that everything on the entire album had to fit a concept.

Just listened to Animals and The Wall back to back and the transition still strikes me as odd, but then again the whole spitting incident must have made an impact on Waters.

when it comes to Echoes, i find that the version on David Gilmour's Live In Gdansk beats the studio or the Pompeii version by 10000x

Basically, the two essentials are Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. if you don't like either you have no soul. My favourite is probably Animals, which would be the next progression. Then maybe The Wall and Meddle. And keep going from there  :hat
on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.
