Pink Floyd (Pigs Three Different Ones) Live Cleveland 1977 part 1

[Danimalx3]

I was at this concert IT WAS THE BEST !!!!

[gahrzahk]

I always liked these guys, except for THE WALL and afterwards. How can people make such unhappy music so enjoyable to listen?

[suyog210]

I was born 11 years after they performed this show. Recently I went to Metallica Rock Concert in Bangalore which was a good experience. I can just imagine what would I have done to listen to Pink Floyd.

[prog4me2011]

GREAT show ,drove from buffalo ny with 5 guys and 1 chick in mobile home,great time was had by all.The plane was amazing!

the "A" was just starting to kick in when it flew over!!

fantastic!

[magog77]

Yes, we were quite lucky. We saw Zeppelin at the Pontiac Silverdome on 4/30/77. Emerson, Lake & Palmer at Cobo on June 1st, Crosby, Stills & Nash at Pine Knob on June 2nd, graduated High School and drove to Cleveland the next day to see Pink Floyd. I remember the white noise generator, the plane flying overhead, the giant pig balloon and the entire "Animals" album which is my personal favorite. Musically, we grew up during a great time.

[eminence18]

wow this is the real live sound? man I wish I could feel that shit on my ears

[apostlewoody]

That fuckin plane that started this cleveland concert, just amazed me

[apostlewoody]

Does anyone remember when it rained during this concert for a bit?? I remember the infield of the stadium being covered with plywood and astroturf. And everyone made teepees out of them. I was standing on the pitchers mound doin acid, and being just astounded by everything, my life changed that day.

[Adennos]

I want to have Dave's hair =(

[tall32guy]

Who is singing at 3:00, around that time?

[jackmorefx]

@tall32guy Always Roger Waters

[NsmiguelCOD]

@tall32guy It´s Roger waters

[raremountainbear]

@bojanks15 Toss up between Animals and Meddle, IMO.

[Salvadorsalais]

old people and their looong comments.

[rodge2001]

If so many of you were there, why the hell didn't anyone bring a video-camera? There's just no footage of them live during the late mid to late 70s. I guess we'll have to settle for audio only. It makes it so much more sacred and legendary though which is good. Like did it really happen? Was it real??  What's a memory? Where are they stored if everyone was there??? Maybe the brain is just a reciever connected to some higher collective consious?????????

[blown22]

@rodge2001 LOL, you must be a young-un. Personal video cameras didn't exist back then, only expensive commercial ones. The ones that came out several years later were HUGE and BULKY. And who the heck would want to tote something like that around - assuming you could even sneak one into the gig without it getting confiscated.

[twst1]

@rodge2001 believe it or not, all the technology you take for granted wasn't always around. Before we had digital there was....ANALOG

[bithead0]

I was there as well from Sandusky at the time. Spent the day baking in the sun and rain and will never forget the plane fly over to start the show. We were on the 20 yard line. Several friends of mine with real tickets didn't get because they got to the show late and others using counterfeit tickets. They listened outside. Still one of my best concert memories ever. 83000 people rocked that day. Oh yea - Pink Floyd without Roger is not Pink Floyd. ;)

[StickyFingers44111]

yup, i was there with kathy, patz and hippy shanks.

smoked alot of pot, ....the jet, the opening with animals, the leaf turning into a man.... i was 20 and so glad to be there.

[jwalk121]

WOW.

[722tea]

the jet flying over was amazing,wen told pepole bout it i dont think they belived me,member it was so freakin hot the rain was welcoming,they had2 open the doors early cause of so many peeps thar,we were right in front of the sound stage,it was awesum,i love tellin folks about it,the pig, peeps were holdind back,scared the shit out of me,the pinkman poken over the back wall,the,fireworks waterfall,i think it was my 1st panicattack,i gat seprated from my group i found sum peeps from home and hit

[MsWagnerd]

I was there, and it was awesome. The video was amazing, with morphing... so ahead of the time.

[1922sultan]

I was there....in body. Mind was blown !!!!!!!!!! 707 flew low over the stadium to start the show...can still hear it !!!!

[moretimetokill31]

i envy your generation dads and grandads of my generation...(im 19yo)

[houndhell]

@moretimetokill31

Or learn how to write proper grammar.

:)

[AK4TsEv3N]

Definitely my favorite Floyd album!

[sp588]

David Gilmour rocks in this one for sure, and his tone is killer! yeah!

[swingersonian]

Cleveland does indeed, rock. But, so Does Detroit.

[novegon]

June 25, 1977

[MrClevelandJohnny]

This guy at work who i talk about music with was just describing all the theatrics about this show to me, i really wish there was a video of the plane buzzing the crowd and the sheep floating down

[playthefrets]

I was there too.  By that time I knew, having seen them at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh that this was the greatest show in rock - I was in for the trip of a lifetime. I was not disappointed. What a rush to know that the show was actually recorded and after all these years I can come back to this

[richardviews]

I was at this show. I was 21. I have NEVER seen or experienced ANYTHING like this in my entire life. If there was one single day in all my days I would relive it was June 25, 1977. The whole lead-up to the show, especially the 'pink noise' sound test and that jetliner buzzing the stadium just before the band started the show with "Sheep", was worth the price of admission alone. The show itself was probably the greatest thing in all of rock. If you were there - you know what I mean!

[Danimalx3]

@richardviews I agree totally I was 17 It was so hot that day, people were falling down from heat stroke. And that one girl had a m-80 go off in her face, that was sad

[floydianfan17]

esta es la mejor version q existe de este tema

[snooflecake]

wow, roger waters plays very well at this show! And david gilmour also sounds like he's had some uppers

[blueznjazz123]

@snooflecake Good point re: Gilmour! Either that, or he had just had one of those regular fights with Waters and was playing p*ssed off at Waters AND the characters in the song! lol ! :-)

[kalen486]

the days when music was art and a way of life. imagine if syd didnt go mad how much more awesome they would have been not taking away from wat they have already did for the true fans of real music with meaning and substance.

[sawdust5]

I was at this concert also. I remember the tickets cost a whopping $10.00.

[elitet0kr]

Whoever recorded this did a great service to humanity.

[dougbaars]

even after 33 years , and over 300 concerts this is by far the best show i have ever attended i was going to Euclid senior high at the time . the best part was how it started , the 747 buzzing the stadium with pink floyd wrote on both sides only 200 feet above the upper deck (floyd got fined 100.000 $ for that ) then they shot off fireworks and from out of the inside of them like little parachutes sheep l came floating down to the stadium each about a foot long .can still see it Doug Baars

[jettshusband10]

@dougbaars i finaly have found some one who remembers the fire works and the sheep floating down was the best show ever 2nd was waters concert here in cleve,ohio on sept 28 2010 wall the way it was in 1980

[Terra148]

I remember catching this show with the "Magic Bus Tour" out of Port Colborne, ON. So much craziness that day, starting with having to walk into customs for interrogation with a wicked acid high coming on.

RIP Sasha.

Monzie

[bruhager]

This is rad as hell! The first solo that is missing from the album version is fucking amazing!  The way that it leads into a little jam session when Roger repeats you're nearly a laugh is fantastic!

[jettshusband10]

i am getting a chance again to see some of floyd going to waters concert on sept 28 2010 at the q in cleveland ohio if any one from 1977 concert is going let me know like to talk about floyd concert in 1977 i will be in sec 104 row 11 rodger is doing the wall

[jettshusband10]

i was 15 july 25 1977 friends took me to the concert at stadium i saw and heard the most incrediable thing ever. i never heard of rock music before that day but will always remember it the blood that flowed out of the machine and filled over the machine and arms formed out of the blood and waved .the pig. the plane that flew over. the fire works. when they had to stop the show some one was trying to blow pig up

[ramjet1962]

Kids nowadays don't know SHIT about real music. All that rap shit is garbage.

[drummerhere]

where can i download THIS!?!?!

[sumstuff46]

[dwwhitesk8rdieman]

how do you get to that?

[sumstuff46]

@dwwhitesk8rdieman

Install Firefox web browser then go to addons then look f

[AverageBudgetFilms]

to bad good bands wont visit Cleveland anymore. It's so overrun by rap and hiphop...........

[40Rtruss]

I bought this on reel to reel and play it in my garage and it still sounds great

I love that old school vinyl, 8track reel to reel sound just never gets old

[jdani492]

if you were there i totally envy you. i wish i had seen floyd live, alas born too late. i love 'animals'!!!!

[siatras1]

I was at this show and my picture made in the Akron Becon Journal in a special section title the Day 83,000 got zonked. Yeah the Gaint pig got shot to shit by firer works.And the someone climb up at the other end of where the cable was for the pig and stopped the pig mid way across the field.Roger Waters stopped the show and announced that who ever was holding onto the cable better let go or the band would walk !

Hell there was a guy who drove off a the upper section.

[jep5786]

i was at that show.I remember the pig floating across the stadium,wow maybe it was the acid eh?

[HCVS13]

I find it miraculous that so many 'Youtubers' have attended concerts on the Animals tour. Lucky bastards, I'll say. :)

[rubberneckk]

@HCVS13 this was true true floyd...big man pig man ha ha charade you are, nothin like it

[whangie1]

I too was at this amazing concert and will remember that night forever! Afterwards I got stoned with the band and got to jam with Dave Gilmour and Roy Harper who was backstage, Harper said I was the better guitarist, Dave conceded this too.

[rocketpropulsion]

@HCVS13 Lucky bastards is an understatement!

[jroxx11211]

@HCVS13 i was there at the garden in NYC 7/4/77, and it was called the "in the flesh" tour, they released wish u were here in '75 and didnt tour, then released animals in '77, they did a double tour, both complete albums at once, it was one of the greatest RnR tours in history!!! i was 16 and had just seen zeppelin do "the song remains the same" the month before on 6/7/77 at the garden, it was the greatest summer of my life, im 51 now and still listen to this, yes, we sure were lucky. fuck yea!

[brejowebtv]

@HCVS13 I agree !! Lucky bastards !! If I´d just had the chance,but I was just 5 and knew nothing about Floyd,anyway,I´m lucky youtube exists !!

[tkkimbel]

@HCVS13 They r GREAT !

[lipidgreen]

Wow, iam from cleveland, thats so cool that floyd were there....and this is my faveriote pink "hard" song.

[Darel1958]

This brings back memories. I was there with my girlfriend (now wife). We had just graduated from Lakewood High 1977. Sat in the upper deck all day. At exactly 9:00pm Pink Floyd's 727 jet buzzed the stadium and then went vertical. What a way to start the show!

[MrQuijaRICK]

@Darel1958 im 21, i heard that same story from a old co-worker who seen them all throughout the 70's

[jettshusband10]

@Darel1958 i was there at 900 pm they were playing animals already they already did welcome to machine and dark side of moon and i was in upper behind home plate how did you like the speakers

[Darel1958]

@jettshusband10 We got there about 4pm. Sat in the upper deck just to the right of home plate. Sat there all afternoon watching people and getting high.

[Chrisdrumz]

@jettshusband10 They opened the show with the Animals album and only played Money and Us And Them from darkside in encores.

[quincyq03]

WOW!!! great version of Pigs. Thank you!

[SpocksBrain425]

We were at this concert -- amazing day. From the pre-concert theatrics to the band's plane flying over the stadium to start the show, to the quad system and the pig balloon and the Wish you Were Here videos -- an incredible event.

[pinkfloydrule27]

the bootleg made my head spin how amazing it is so to be there must have been the most amazing thing ever thanks for that comment if only i was born about 25 years earlier!!!

[SpocksBrain425]

Dude, if I had a time machine, the one place I would go is back to Cleveland Municipal Stadium on Saturday, June 25, 1977. I was 16 and it was my second concert. The first was the Led Zeppelin "Destroyer" concert two months before. Who knew we were participating in rock-n-roll history?

[midnight347]

@SpocksBrain425 led zeppelin had a "destroyer" concert? I'm just 28 years old and a huge fan of both bands but don't you mean kiss? they would have had a "destroyer" tour around that time...or did zeppelin really have a destroyer show?? as far as I know they didn't...around this time they would have been on the presence tour which was a really good and underrated album and tour

[Chrisdrumz]

@midnight347 The name of the Zeppelin bootleg is called DESTROYER.

[SpocksBrain425]

@midnight347 Sorry, I just saw your message from last November. There was a bootleg album of the April, 1977 concert called "The Destroyer," hence the name. It was never billed like that, but the bootleg name and concert is familiar to the fans from the period. Yes, it was the belated Presence tour, after Plant recovered from his car accident. No, I assure you, I am not confused with KISS. Back in '77, 16 year olds like me liked Zeppelin, and 11 year old dorks liked KISS.

[TheSanti4go]

@pinkfloydrule27 you would now be 25 years older...so enjoy i this way :)

[jettshusband10]

@SpocksBrain425 was it not the coolest to see the blood flow from the machine and cover the machine and the arms form of blood ontop of lake of blood

[DanW900]

@SpocksBrain425

wow! i wish i could have seen them in the 70's! how much were the tickets?

[SpocksBrain425]

@DanW900 $9.50 general admission. And that was a ripoff! The year before, you'd'a paid $7.00 for similar tix.

[TheSpacemonkey13]

@SpocksBrain425 sooo lucky!!!

[pinkpigsheep1977]

amazingggg!
