[pagani43]

I hope these early versions (i.e. "You Gotta Be Crazy" and "Raving and Drooling") make it onto the Animals remaster next year...

[Everythingfloyd]

1977

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

Thanks for posting this interesting version!

[MrDodstink]

The lyrics/rifs/ are quite different.

[mrlazywolf]

I like the 1974 version better.

[Maravalmusic]

Never heard this one, though I know Animals since its publication in 1977... I prefer the way that this piece turned out via the album, but is cute...

[lanimibus]

is that British Winter Tour 75?'

[dannyhood66]

Who is playing the guitar harmonies with Gilmore? ''I guess they had other musicians play on stage with them after dark side of the moon?

[fatdogtavern]

@dannyhood66 Snowy White is his name. He did 2nd guitar with the might Floyd until the Wall tour.

[dannyhood66]

@fatdogtavern What a trip,'is he the same guy playing with waters? ''Recently'' as a back up with that hot shot blues kid that plays guitar stringed upside down..

[dannyhood66]

@fatdogtavern Did he play with waters? I mean recently,?''Along with the hot shot blues kid?' He 'plays the guitar with strings upside down? Kinda looks like he hangs out at pawn shops all day?

[nlows420]

@dannyhood66 I'm not sure what guitar harmonies you're talking about. There's clearly only one guitar on this cut. Maybe you're confusing they keyboards for a second guitar. Snowy White joined them as a guitarist/bass player for the 'In The Flesh' tour after 'Animals' was released but prior to that I'm pretty sure it was just the Floyd on stage.

[dannyhood66]

@nlows420 The guitar solo at 3;25, You don't really hear the 2nd guitar harmony till 3;33, its still background lower volume like most guitar harmonys (love songs air supply whatever) normally play..Not metal playing at same volume.. There should be another harmony after the guitar solo on the part 2 of this its weird scale . ...

was a 2nd guitarist during the animals tour that played the harmony parts i heard about, but as far as i know that was in 76 77 im pretty sure, The

[nlows420]

@dannyhood66 If we're thinking of the same thing, that's totally the keyboard.

[dannyhood66]

@nlows420 Shit, i was wrong about part 2 there is no guitar solo? Anyway its on the album 'animals' right at the end of guitar solo that's played over the same chords that start the intro of this song, really cool trippy (weird) hexagonal octagonal whatever?

[GCMPJLRMYLIFE]

This just made my day!! This is even better then "Dogs"! Love the Floyd.....they always surprise me.

[donstuie]

Cool to hear the original 'Dogs'. But does anyone think it sounds a bit too...disco?

[lily991]

i like this version better than the studio version....both are excellent but i prefer this one...

<3

[SamTalmadge]

@lucifersam36 Dude. Roger wrote all of Animals. With the exception of one track that he shared with David. Animals was still a masterpiece. Without Roger, there would be no Wall.

[mongchilde]

pink floyd ceased to be after the wall, the final cut was essentially a waters solo album, and it was shit!

to me, pink floyd were at their best just after animals, before those arguments that ripped them apart during the recording of the wall and the period in the early 80s when they realised they did not know where to go, eventually each moving into their own solo careers.

Such a shame that the classic Pink Floyd lineup will never perform again.

[itsscarygary]

The way I always looked at post Syd Floyd was like this:

Roger was the architect, coming up with the aesthetic design and Dave was the contractor, making the theory of the design come alive as best possible in reality - he tended to pick the materials and the method of construction.

Pink Floyd is not Pink Floyd without one or the other.

[zevans2008]

@itsscarygary I like it. This must make Wright the civil engineer, ensuring sure it was structurally sound and would take a bit of abuse from passers-by (unlike some of the stage rigs they had :-) )

[rockyhard1]

And his solo albums sucked a lot of dick.

[Bassjunkie1985]

I love the alternate lyrics on this version. A true gem. welldone, my friend.

[tykeinperth]

As I was saying... The Final Cut was practically a Waters solo album, and the post Waters Floyd albums are (to me)Gilmour albums under the Floyd banner.

Waters saw himself as the boss for sure, but without each other, the chemistry wasn't there.

They were brilliant together, but never as solo artists.... as Nick Mason said, the sum was greater than the parts.

I was lucky enough to see them do 'The Wall 'at Earl's Court in August 1980 and it was something quite special!

[tykeinperth]

It's great to hear this again. I used to have a bootleg in the late 70s , a real shit fuzzy copy on cassette tape with "Raving and drooling" and "You gotta be crazy". It's good to hear how these songs progressed to become the 'finished' article. I think I actually prefer these early live versions.

Re; whose baby was Floyd? It was never the real deal without the Gilmour /Waters (and/or Barrett) line-ups.

The Final Cu

[PeaceFrog1234]

Definitely not. The whole of Pink Floyd is greater than the sum of the parts of the individual members of the band. You can't have the band without every single one of the members.

[sagamoreboy]

No one can take full credit for Floyd`s music. Period!

[carpetbagger97]

Who played 2nd guitar, was it Snowy Whit e who played during the '77 Tour?

[steberr]

yes

[FenderMeddle94]

i seriously like tthis sound, but the text on the later recorded dogs is better. i have to say i think it's interesting that the songs Gilmour wrote at animals and the wall are of the best on the albums... gilmour also wrote the groung for sheep. Sad that Ricks music dissapered after shine on

[thecyanman]

I like this version a lot. I wouldn't mind having it. But it's not "Dogs"

[LesPaulGoldTop21]

Amazing song! Amazing guitarsolos!

[Vegetableman1]

this is Dogs before it became Dogs pretty much. Fuckin awesome tune

[tamertamo]

what!!!! this is not the lyrics for dogs, what the hell is this????

[vytasrico]

They played the song while touring before the release of Animals and actually the original lyrics were different (and definitely more aggressive). They actually modified the lyrics quite a few times before the final studio version.

[maledoormat07]

Gilmour and Wright didn't write most of the music for Floyd. Waters wrote most of the music and lyrics as well. Gilmour wrote most of his own solos I'm sure but the majority of their songs were conceived by Waters. Without Waters there would be no DSOTM,wish u were here,animals or Wall.

[aripahs]

dont forget the final cut, i love tht album too altho its no wywh or animals.

yea waters was the brain of the group, i def agree with u. i actually think wright was the body of the group.

[5ptCALVIN]

actually maledoor , early on after Barret was gone and they were all musical almost that was all Gilmour and Wright . Much of the music in DSOTM was Wright as well . Lyrics became Rogers thing as they progressed and he ended up writing most of all of it at that point but remember , Rick used to tune Rogers bass, he wasnt writing ANY of the solos friend and not but the basics of some of the music . Even the Wall Rogers baby had some all Gilmour tracks like Run Like Hell .

[illCrackYoFace]

My favorite song

[thepenguin09]

hands down the best floyd albums are atom heart mother, animals, obscured by clouds, and meddle. anyone who disagrees is a supreme idiot

[bomberharris15]

Well there was no need for for the supreme idiot bit... They are all very, very good (except maybe AHM) but there was no need to be a douchebag...

[ZengaGuitar]

is a lot better than dogs

[xtremenortherner]

Rare band,sounds great live & in the studio,who else can you name?(The Beatles don't count in my opinion,they were impressive live but stopped touring in 1966)

[14PinkFloyd]

This is just amazing! To hear em so clean. Good psot dude! Lovin It!

[DBZmetaldude2]

yes I know I'm sorry I spelled Floyd wrong I was in a rush :P

[DBZmetaldude2]

The Best of FLoys is when they all worked together. Animals may not of been a pure colaberation, but still one their best before the Wall era

[aripahs]

i agree with u, waters was the crucial element. u kno, many ppl would disagree with me, but i believe wright was tht crucial member in terms of sound. Do not get me wrong, they are all absolutly amazing. Pink Floyd is the best.

[FenderMeddle94]

What should music be without David Gilmour...?

[FenderMeddle94]

You know, that's totaly wrong. Gilmour and wright wrote the most of the music in the band while waters wrote the lyrics. This song, for example did gilmour write at the same time as he started writing Shine On You Crazy Diamond

[bomberharris15]

Clearly wrong. Every song on Animals except this one is credited solely to Waters. All but 4 tracks from The Wall are as well. All of The Final Cut is.

[steberr]

Your clearly wrong. As Gilmour, Mason and Wright said in an interview in 1987,

that for alot of songs Waters wasn't even in the studio. Gilmour played bass on most of the studio tracks. They go on to say that none of the songs the Waters wrote would sound as they do If not for the rest of the band. This fact is what led to most of the fighting. Which is Waters took sole credit for the songs and it just wasn't so. That interview is on YouTube. Just search for it.

[9841496228]

i wonder why the other band mates didnt stop waters from taking credits of the songs if he wasnt involved...........i guess they werent so fools .......i think both sides werent so truthful meaning roger n the others............

[popeiix]

@9841496228 Pink Floyd was followed the McCartney/Lennon model: Whatever one wrote, the other was credited as well. You gotta admit, this band was the best put on the head phones, strike up the owl band of that time. Headphone treat: Several Species of Small Furry Animals from Umma Gumma. RIP Sir Wright!!!

[helicon07]

its very strange, seems like the whole song isnt tuned a whole step down like the original. i think the original cd version its better, but that 'wah' solo was amazing.

[assWompingMadNess]

right..i shouldnt have used died...like u said..it simply took another turn...

[mas3087]

Some of the lyrics were changed, not so many "you gotta-"'s, and not so many words. Sounds like this one is a half step lower, too.

(BTW, the Audio Preview is awesome- gives it that Stephen Hawking effect.)

[CrazyCroat21]

The lyrics for the first part are pretty damn bad compared to the studio version... I'm actually surprised at how much of an improvement studio lyrics often are for Pink Floyd songs compared to early demos/live versions.

[assWompingMadNess]

i personally think the classic floyd sound died AFTER Animals...the wall, final cut, lapse of reason, division bell...they were all great...but not floyd in their prime....ANIMALs had the last bit of classic floyd left in it...their style started to change after that....just like how their style changed from phsychodelic floyd to classic floyd after atom heart mother...to meddle

[omarsrevenge]

Does anybody know where I could download this or other PINK FLOYD shows?

[oneofspades]

good recording.

[aripahs]

the organ or whtever kind of keyboard rick is playing sounds awesome

[kenny9048]

definitly agree. sounds sad as well as facinating. i get the chills everytime i listen to the slow part where you can really hear ricks playing.

[clarius1973]

@aripahs - The strings sound is probably an "ARP SOLINA" keybd. The Lead solos can be a VCS 3 (or AKS Synth) with a keyboard controller... or even an ARP ODISSEY

[SimMaster]

seriously, I don't know why they didn't keep that bassline at 4:25.. it sounds so much cooler than the album one

[LYMBO2006]

This song is in my Floyd top 3 easily, and listening to it live with the original team is a great experience, specially such a rare version with the diferent lyrics and the electric rythm guitar. Isnt Snowy White there playing 2nd Guitar? And the solos are SO DIFFERENT than the recorded version, but as good or better!!!

[mas3087]

This is before Snowy came on board. There isn't a second guitar, just David, and Rick doing some extra stuff on the keyboard. This song (and Raving and Drooling) were reworked a lot for Animals. If you haven't, check out the '74 version. It's even more detached from 'Dogs'.

[aripahs]

snowy white didnt play 2nd guitar until '77 so its all gilmour here =)

[themengsk176]

this is the best version of the song I have ever heard.

it is also extremely sad, i wonder why roger felt he had to dilute it on animals.

[SimMaster]

I love the bassline in this one more than the album version

(around 4:27)

[McCall72]

Too bad there are no bands like this anymore. So glad I got to see Floyd live once in my lifetime..

[Stratobendix81]

Unbeleviable this is an audience recording...

[aripahs]

oh, and thanx so much for posting this

[aripahs]

animals is up there w/ my favourite album. i love it, this version is amazing too!

[jtsnowman66]

I totally agree. Another too young die hard fan. Got to see Waters play Sheep live though.. The album is amazing, and is my favorite along with Meddle, but this version has something special too

[mtopper66]

I like the original versions much, much better--Animals was never one of my favorite Floyd albums, it would have been as classic as Dark Side or Wish You Were Here had these early versions been recorded properly. Thanks for the post!! Awesome!

[aripahs]

im not going to b an idiot and disagree w/ ur opinion, i just simply want to kno, how could they have recorded the songs better? i thot they were amazing, wht would have made them classics?

[chrisocony]

i am just listening to this again and it is just a phenomenal version, a truly great performance; i love the album, too but this is just 4 guys on stage one night in LA and some guy in the audience taping it on who knows what; what we are left with is a testament of Pink Floyd's amazing performance skills

[lmull3]

wow! this version is amazing! o.o <3

[mas3087]

It's really something how much this song (and Sheep) evolved before it made it to the album. I always wondered what they sounded like before, now I know. Thanks from a diehard PF fan too young to have been there!
