[chelzeaify]

itz an honor juzt to get to here this band. i uzed to think live waz better. these dayz i prefer to sit at my dezk anna blow cmy mind in the dark. uz old grrrlz find a method

[rabolc]

heard this version for the first time. my now late dad bought the first PF which was 2LP Delicate Sound of Thunder in 1988 when I was 14. I'm afraid this one from 1974 is way better and way more touching than any later versions. need to know the band for 24 years to discover something stunningly fresh. thanks for posting! (would be cool to have it in one single piece)

[danjsy]

have listened to this so many times (is this the "Pretty Good, better last night" bootleg ?)

all those early Floyd references are just great - I have only just realised that Wright plays Bike and See Emily Play, and there is Arnold Layne at 9:38.

As mcMunchy says, it's really touching and lovely that the audience get them.

[bobbygnosis]

The last three minutes is freaking BOSS.

[bigD5172]

Excuse my French, but this is fucking awesome!!!

[Fetcha200]

I hit the jackpot.

[aprentice1000]

10:10

[Floydian75]

This is pure bliss, and this recording is before they even fine tuned the song.

David's arpeggios are beautiful and have rich texture. I can tell Roger is at the top if his game. Mason's drum textures and fills work perfectly with the rest of the band. Rick is playing everything amazingly, he is so versatile with his heavy playing of the synth in part 6 to his soft organ work in part 7 to his beautiful ending in part 9. Like I said, this is pure bliss.

[Jamiiism]

I also love, how wright does "bike" also, just before the musical cue from see emily play.

[CarrollGazette]

who cares if there's no video, the jam session was awesome! Thanks for post :)

[onimusha514]

[rawdealist]

wow listen to all the music experts...stfu and enjoy the post...add you lunatic views and miss-understandings elsewhere...please disable comments

[JackyRowe]

what i would give to see these guys...

[2257Annie]

none no better.........



[chelzeaify]

82 to 3 should be 90 to 0.

[kermicheo]

the way these 4 guys improvise off of each other is truly why I worship this band. I can't think of anyone else in history who does that on stage. it's either one electric guitarist stealing the show and the others just fade in the back or it's everyone playing everything exactly like the albums (Eagles).

[nkmcfrln]

@kermicheo You must be pretty limited as far as the bands you listen to. In history? That's really, really funny. In bands like The Who and Rush the guitar isn't even the lead instrument, the bass is. Who's fading in the background as musicians in these bands? Pink Floyd is the only band that changes things up live? There's a ton of examples contrary to what you're saying, that I could give you. Pink Floyd is great in so many ways, but they're not unique in the way you're making them out to be.

[kermicheo]

@nkmcfrln maybe I exagerated a little. there are other bands that improvise together. but take hendrix, clapton, and mark knopfler. the other instruments are just background for their playing. the floyd is one of those bands where every instrument shines and everyone is background for everybody else. you don't get bored with any one instrument that is playing. that's all I'm saying.

[nkmcfrln]

@kermicheo Well Jimi was Jimi. It was his Experience and his Band Of Gypsys. Dire Straits is really Mark Knopfler as a solo artist. Eric Clapton is recognized for the most part as a solo artist and was featured with the Yardbirds and Derek and the Dominoes (along with Duane Allman) and in an earlier incarnation, but then there was The Cream which all about the three musicians playing to the tilt and full out live with huge extended jams. I get carried way too, but there genuine groups out there.

[kermicheo]

@nkmcfrln I'm not criticizing anybody. this is a pink floyd video so I'm sharing what I like about them. I know all the guys you're talking about. I've had my fair share of listen to great music.

[nkmcfrln]

@kermicheo Your taking what I said the wrong way. I was saying what you're saying about Hendrix, Clapton and Mark Knopfler. One player is featured and sings and is in charge of the band and the other musicians play a support role. I said that when Clapton was a member of Cream it was a very different story and that I get carried away myself, meaning I sometimes lose sight of things, cheez! You're the guy that mentioned Hendrix, Clapton and Mark Knopfler. Chill out and Peace.

ESTA ROLA SE LAS DEDIQUE A MIS HIJOS CRIS Y RAZIEL (RIP)

[MusicVideoJudge1]

i love the album cover.

[DmeshOnPS3]

Bass guitar is louder live. awesome

[MrJudgedread123]

I shine everyday :-)

[sambricky]

Do I like more like I love.

[robomanification]

I like how they connect both parts and they way it flows Great Killer Live Version of the song. Musical Heaven. The Best

[direwolf661]

niiiiice!

[chelzeaify]

the live performances show just how beyond words they really are. Brock2097 is right - it was just the four of them doing this version. Nick is amazing on organic drums

[limunan]

this version is differ from the studio one

no saxphone, and what else?

[chelzeaify]

geez what u cool cats here at Y.T. have done for my music exposure. i traveled along way to get to this version of the song. it's now my fave. i love this band with all my heart and soul. and i love all you for widening my scopes. thanks everla.

[10Bones01]

I always felt that Pink Floyd deserved a nice, natural setting to perform their live concerts in...like the Red Rock amphitheatre out west in the U.S.A. I bet they have played places like that in my lifetime, I just wish I could have seen them. I wonder what Floyd would sound like while listening to them on underwater speakers in a pool, or something? Now, that would be something else.

[3agleh]

u r fuckin high

[TehAwssumPossum]

i think i shit my pants these guys give me fucking goosebumbs on my goosebumbs there so amazing!!!!!!!!!

[toolreyes]

speechless!!!

[bydosangel]

@toolreyes Totally the same

[AMIRTALMUSICdotcom]

holiness :)

I wish I was there...

it's insane just to hear the four of them pull this off...

[navier314]

I waked up to Pink Floyd in the late 90s. I was so amazed when I discovered the best songs were older than me.

[14PinkFloyd]

Priceless! Wonderfully amazing, yet unrefined. They tested and probed soundscapes on the road til the landscapes were filled with tastefully abstract visions! Flying you to heights unreached by anyone else! HAHAHA! They were "Learning To Fly" well before their time! I HATE I WAS BORN TOO LATE!

[Sylviamarta]

Very risky approach to music comparing it with most of pop and rock done nowdays .The drums are astounding , the bass is top quality , well , everything is beautiful and astounding !!!!

[Sylviamarta]

Beautiful , amazing , thanks for uploading it!!!

[SephynnXx]

Nick's double bass is funny,lol. Great version. It is amazing to hear this song performed but not yet completed and fully arranged. It would be amazing to be able to remember these songs from Animals and WYWH before they were even complete....

[limunan]

why this version not the sam as 1975 tour

[limunan]

why this version no "sax" and part1 is keyboard not gilmour's guitar

[Brock2097]

Gilmour, Mason, Waters and Wright were the only ones on stage so there couldn't be as many layers of instrumentation as on the album version.

[xlgmalx]

emily tries..... but mis.. un...der... stannndddddsssssss....

love you rick as dave says you will live on in our memories.

[pinkpigsheep1977]

Wembley 1974. I love Floyd's gigs!

[m1kew8e]

absoloutly brilliant!!!!

[McMunchy]

I love how Wright does the phrase from See Emily Play at the very end.

It's my favourite part of the whole album.

Touching isn't it?

[wilitoto]

@McMunchy Its a funeral march according to david gilmour and i would like it on my funeral

[KarenLeFemme]

@McMunchy - stop making me cry!

[misterdeadhead]

@McMunchy what second?

[coopa97434]

Sometimes I feel like nobody knows where I am...how near or how far

[PearlJammer07]

The cover shown here was used on the first CD editon of the album. I think it was anyways. I have seen this and Animals first CD at a CD store. I didn't pick them up seeing as the sound might not have been good. My question is are the first editions to CD floyd albums as close as you will get to the VINYLS? I would imagine so.

[Blitzkong]

I have the original on vinyl. This image is on one side of the cover; on the flip-side is a faceless man in a suit and bowler, in the desert. And then there are some familiar photographs in the insert. The artwork of the robot hands shaking is the image on the record itself, and there is another similar image on the black packaging (which most threw away when they opened it 33 years ago).

[PearlJammer07]

That black packaging is very sought after apparently.I have yet to find this album in vinyl. I did one day and stupidly passed it up lol.Great album. A half mastered edition of this album would be cool. What is so great about having the ones labeled "Original Master Recording?" I found a Dark Side of the Moon yesterday with this label, and reserved the copy.

[McMunchy]

The Original Master Recording is basically just a flashy yellow band at top--I got my mum's, from when she was little, and it was DSOTM with that, and it's nothing special; if anything it seems to scratch a little easier (mine scratched right as he goes "Breathe", worst possible place!)... I got the non-mastered one because it had all the posters, and it's about the same.

But my friend--he found Wish You Were Here for me awhile back, not expensive... check ebay too, man! Best of luck!

[Brock2097]

Damn, badass segue into part 6 at 1:00...this sounds just like on the album!!

[Darksideofthemachine]

....more interesting.

Good job Chris.

Thanx.

[dszaka]

honk if you love the mxr phase 90 at the end

[Brock2097]

HONK.

HONK HONK.

[inkpixie]
