The first hour is just tape playback??? WTAF? They don't play live till 1 hour in? thats just crazy. "One of the best live concerts ever" I don't think so. As much as I love the band, that is just Cashing in, and if it was just a playback, you'd have thought they would play better for it. Very sloppy in parts. I'd have felt cheated by a gig like that.
to much uf not that great guitar solos, Gilmour changed the versions, what's mostly a fine artistical thing, but Gilmour does a bit of too much not that interesting, in my opinion…
Well…. what can I say ?….. Musical History uploaded with expert analysis and in-depth research. Possibly the best all-round You Tube upload I've ever seen. I salute you.
I was there. My mothers employer did the electrical and she was able to get me a backstage ( still have it) pass which basically meant I got in before anyone else. I was told not to be obvious so I didn't even see the band members until they were playing. Meeting up with my friends. was a challenge. as hundreds rushed the field to get a spot. Magnificent effects. The light show and effects were way ahead of the time. People just sat there in awe. Unfortunately it was the last concert at Ivor Wynne for a while because the stadium was trashed.
Very nice job, love this tour but only Boston Garden previously. Only request would be to please annotate the Syd song themes in Part IX ? See Emily Play, Bike and Arnold Layne ?
When I started listening, I imagined it was a show from 1977. It's simply incredible. Even though it was refined for the album, it proves that the material on the âAnimalsâ album was made at least 2 years before the debut. How rich these guysâ creativity was.
What an awesome show! I was there with 10 of my friends, bought tickets for the lot of them. There is a video, Ive seen it on Youtube elsewhere. My brother has a collection of slides from the show too. It was pretty insane, putting that many people all in one place, mostly high on acid. The sunset was perfectly aligned with the mirror ball behind the band and reflected back over the audience. The show at times had a feeling of existential dread, at other times sheer euphoria. Echoes blew the socks off everybody, as well as the rest of the city, as it could apparently be heard across it. A definite one-off event, never to be reproduced again. No wonder they banned shows at Ivor Wynne after that.
OMG! Just ran across this and yelped out loud because I was at that concert. One of my most favorite of all time. I still tell people about it. Me and my friends also camped out the night before in front of Gate 5 and managed to find a spot around mid-field. I do like to explain to anyone who will listen that back at that time, using video as part of the stage show was all but unheard of. Seeing the video accompanying the songs was mind blowing (especially given our condition). And not to be contrary but I thought it was a "rocket", not an airplane that flew from the top of the far end of the stadium to crash into the stage during the playing "Dark Side of the Moon". Does anyone else remember it that way? The musicality that night cemented Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, and Echoes as all time favorites for me. An incredible night all around.
Wow! This is epic! I split my listening into 2 evenings. Couldn't take my eyes from the screen. The notes, commentary, song descriptions and the Floyd-film made this an incredible experience. I only wish I could be one of the masses yelling "Sit Down" at the actual performance! Thank you! And for f*&#s sake Sit Down! đ
Guess you never got to see the Dead then… gave up on Floyd after AHM – got boring and tedious, but then I saw them a lot around the time of the first two albums. Went from truly psychedelic to pompadelic. Best Floyd show I saw? An all-nighter at the Roundhouse, place dripping with acid.

I never got why they didn't play Wish You Were Here (the song) on this tour. If they hadn't recorded it yet, why was the tour named after it?
Best Concert I ever saw! Best $7.00 I ever spent!
This is the best concert videoâŠand no live action! Love the running commentary, photos and especially the recorded Pink Floyd music!â€ïž

I salute you.
Superb commentary – thanks for sharing!
At this time, Pink Floyd wasânt always on top when performing live (not enough homework ?đ), but THIS is gold !
Wow. Thanks for uploading this. Love the voice crack at 2:06:58.
Amazing job putting this together! Some of us never got the chance to see Pink Floyd live (myself being one). Now i feel as if i have. Thanks.
Huge fan of Floyd for decades. Still listen to them daily
This concert was (ahem) "released, in some form," on clear transparent vinyl.
Quite a stunning thing to see if you can find a copy!

Without words, awesome!!! a real gem
"PLAY THE FIRST 6 ALBUMS" đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł … This might be my fave Floyd concert I've ever heard!
I saw this tour about 2 months earlier in Tempe, AZ. Best show I've ever seen!
Would have been a great video were it not for the totally unnecessary garbage on the side. Unwatchable
"Sit down!" How about you stand the fuck up, its a rock concert đ€·ââïž
Crowd noise is ruining Echoes
Reading, I see you've seen some of the worst artist in music history – will need to disregard this and decide for myself.
Greatest rubbish, not even close.
ridiculous statement. no dig against this concert or floyd but making an absolute statement like the title is absurd.
Very nice job, love this tour but only Boston Garden previously.

See Emily Play, Bike and Arnold Layne ?
thankyou for the post
