In this #masterpiecefriday edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to one of my most loved songs, Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. Recently, one of our patrons alerted me to the existence of this live recording from 1974...10 months before Wish You Were Here was released. It was an amazing experience to go back and hear the band working this song out in front of a live audience before recording it. I hope you enjoy!

When Doug breaks out the bowl you know it’s a special song.
I followed him ;)
I'm glad he envibed so close to the beginning. Getting prepared is important.
right there with him.
Hit it again, Doug!
Best way to listen to Pink Floyd
I am "one of those folks". I was 16. We got a couple of teachers and the school minibus and went on what you could call "a school trip" to see this concert. I didn't know of this recording, s it was a thrill to hear the performance again after 50 years. Thank you.
Thank you from 🇺🇸
I was 19 and saw them three weeks later in Bristol
I was there too!! I recently bought the CD of Dark Side live and was hoping this would also be on it - I recognised it when Wish You Were Here came out. This is the first time I heard it in 50 years, really cool.
This is one great song, by one incredible band.
My wife introduced me to The Daily Doug recently. I hope more people come to know and enjoy his show. This is probably the best guy on the internet. No screaming, no aggression, just enjoyment of music, one of humanity’s purest pleasures.
My wife is a member, and as such, she has access to more content than most. She played for me Doug’s review of Jethro Tull Aqualung. Towards the end, Doug gave a brief insight into his spirituality. This is a good guy. Share the word about him. Help make the world a better place.
I highly recommend the Jethro Tull Aqualung episode. Doug the Humanist I would say.
Everytime you listen to Floyd it reminds me of seeing an old friend you haven't seen for a while... It's all smiles!
Nick Mason is an unsung and under appreciated drummer.
He's absurd. He's absolutely brilliant on this.
I read one time the Animal on the Muppets was based off of Nick because how he played the drums
@@jeffreywolff329 Don't know about that. Doesn't really look much like him.
@@jeffreywolff329 More likely Keith Moon of The Who, surely? He made Animal look tame.
I liked his collaboration with the Carla Bley Band!
@@yodel_diploma2315 I didn't know he collaborated with Carla Blay. She is another unsung hero. I shall speak that out. Thank you very much.
I used to go to Wembley Arena with my best friend every night when he was visiting me in London. We'd always have few beers with us (or something stronger), couple of chicken burgers that were on sale late at night and we'd sit in front of the fountains and listen to music. Every time we listened to Shine on you Crazy Diamond we had no idea it was first played there. Thank you for that. It makes all those memories even more precious. I'll tell my friend about it and play him this recording next time I visit him.
The last riff that Rick Wright plays on the keyboard is the opening riff of See Emily Play-- thus bringing Syd into full circle and full focus.
Arnold Layne and Scarecrow too.
I went through the 70's as a teen, and that is, was, and always will be the best decade ever across the board!! Happy Trails Doug!
Happy Trails, indeed! QMS 👍
Imagine the immense pressure of trying to follow up to Dark Side after being catapulted into superstardom, not an easy task yet they pulled it off stunningly.
These are the times i wish i have a time machine. Not to correct my past mistakes or to buy a lottery ticket that i know the lucky numbers. Just go back in time, blend in the crowd and witness the performance.
The saxophone really adds to it in later versions
Also on this live album are precursors to "Sheep" and "Dogs" called "Raving and Drooling" and "You've Got to Be Crazy" respectively. I highly recommend you check them out as well.
Pink Floyd 1975-04-26 Los Angeles (Millard Original Master) 4-5 months before Wish You Were Here was released. They basically play Animals (18+ months before release), Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon with Echoes as the encore. Most awesome set list you could imagine. Millard is a legendary taper, awesome sound quality.
The love I have for this album and this band... its like the love for a sibling.
David is one of the very best of the best guitarists ever.
Oh my, this is absolutely Amazing!! The original version was released on my Birthday (9/12/1975) possibly my FAVORITE song EVER!!
Tomorrow night I'm at the Royal Albert Hall in London for Nick Mason and his band playing early Pink Floyd (for the third time). It will be perfect.
Envy. Hope it was really good (Ofcourse it was)
@@tobbex7372 It certainly was! Atom Heart Mother (abridged) and Echoes in one evening....
The most beautiful song of all time in my opinion. The tragedy, the beauty... Everything!
I saw PF on this tour at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, ten days before this recording. Set consisted of Shine on..., Raving & Drooling and Gotta Be Crazy (the latter two eventually being combined to become Dogs). Second half was a complete rendition of Dark Side of the Moon, with Echoes providing a 25 minute encore.
Wish I was there ;)
Raving and Drooling did not become Dogs, it became Sheep. You’ve Gotta Be Crazy was Dogs though.
@@erikhesjedal3569I see what you did there…
I was at the gig in the Empire Liverpool on this tour and remember all those ‘old’ names. So I heard songs before WYWH and Animals. Unfortunately I lost the concert programme.
Exactly same set in Liverpool! We travelled over from Ireland. 😊😊😊
This is an Incredible live version of this song!
Never heard it before, which is a shame.
Wow!!
Neither have I what did I miss
What album is this ?
@@yenlard6683the Immersion release of Wish You Were Here, released 2011
I was raised on Pink Floyd, pretty much had it playing in our house pretty much daily for my entire life!
I have a hate-hate relationship with my father, just a despicable and sad person. However, he was a HUGE Floyd fan and that is the single thing of value he passed on to me.
Sounds very boring , so much great music out there now look forward not backward
@@misterzero8667for one who was there when this was conceived, the past is more treasured. ‘Modern’ music doesn’t hold a candle to what was made in the late sixties - early seventies. This isn’t music, it’s magic.
@@misterzero8667 ~ Can't react to music that hasn't been released yet.
Oh my goodness. Even on this version when Rick plays 9 notes from See Emily Play I choked up.
The audience caught the notes also, you could hear their recognition and applause.
Just wonderful!
The vocals here are louder in the mix than on the studio album. Or there is less going on. I love that slight shakiness to the vocals - sounds vulnerable, exposing, moody.
I saw this show at The Usher Hall, Edinburgh in 1974. it was awesome.
Nick goes back and forth from a triplet feel to a straight 8 feel. Always loved his drumming.
Damn. Doug, Pass it around!!!
This is top of the list of concerts I would have sold a kidney to see live. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (favourite PF song), early versions of Sheep and Dogs, the entire run of Dark Side of the Moon (favourite album), and then encoring with Echoes? Holy cow.
Thanks Doug for the opening puff. I would love to join you but random testing at work won't let me shine on. This is so cool. In the end it was Nick who was the only full time member. I was fortunate to see David, Rick, Crosby and Nash with special guest Dick Parry do this at Radio City in 06. Oh my was it awesome.
Myself and my best mate were there. Just like with Dark side, Pink Floyd premiered a lot of their music in live concerts rather than on album, it is why I loved seeing them.
Been a fan since I was 12. They speak to my heart!
An amazing British band + One of the most beautifull songs ever + a good Blended Scotch Whisky = A very, very, pleasant Sunday. Thanks Dr Doug ... kkk 🤣 🤣
Nowadays this song is engraved into our cultural hive mind... but these people there at Wembley did hear it for the first time!
This is one of the best Pink.Floyd's compositions, indeed a masterpiece . Great way to enjoy this piece with a professional commenting. Great work,!
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album as well. I'll have to admit that dark side of the moon is a very close second.
The recording before the recording....unreal.
I saw their Dark Side of the Moon '73 - '74 tour at the Spectrum in Philadelphia and they did this, plus Dogs, Sheep from Animals and more some of the titles were different and changed by the time they were recorded. It was amazing to hear them try new material before it came out...
I never made it through this song before. Was never huge on Floyd. I'm 59 so I have had chance. Thanks for having a bowl with me. I enjoy hanging with y'all. Good Friday night hanging and listening to something new and amazing to me.
You gotta listen to the studio version on WYWH albums. It is so much better
@@robertjaycox8488 thanks. I'll check it out.
I agree with the other reply......this is so bad compared to the finnished product , especially the vocals, and the later live performances once they finnished writing and arranging the song are as solid as the final recorded version.
WYWH has always been by favorite Floyd album as well. Love this live version; its raw, missing a lot of overdubs, but somehow still just a good as the recorded version. Just the four of them , no backing musicians or singers and yet sound incredible live.
A quite complete rendering of the tune in the days before the internet and phone made this impossible to do live before release. .Nice. Rick is genius on this. What an unsung player.(but not by me)
Awesome 👏 👏👏👏. That’s for you and the band.
Just what I needed at the end of a work week and the start of our Canada Day long weekend. 🇨🇦
I’m 54 but you made this old song new again. Thank you for the experience and your musical knowledge.
I remember seeing them in 1975 or 1976 on the Dark Side of the Moon tour in L.A. I was in high school then and they opened with Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Like you say, the arena was quiet as no one heard this before. I did then get to see the Wish you were Here / Animals tour next in Anaheim Stadium Ca.
Floyd was one of those bands (like King Crimson) that played material live to work it out prior to recording and releasing it.
Atom Heart Mother, Echoes, all of Dark Side of the Moon (although On the Run and Great Gig in the Sky were different pieces, and those two were written in the studio), plus this tour with 2/3 of Animals and Wish You Were Here were all performed on tour prior to going into the studio. It’s very rare nowadays, since everything ends up on RUclips almost as soon as a concert is over.
I saw Pink Floyd live in Udine, Italy in 1994, and we did not know that was the last tour. They started with this piece. Then I waited for the next tour for years until Rick passed away and it became obvious that they would never hit the road again. But I will 'remember that night' forever.
I've listened to this song more than any other Pink Floyd song. Never gets old!
Here here!
How have I never heard this played as a continuous suite? This was awesome.
Wow. Just wow. Wish you were Here bores deeply under my skin and stays there and it takes a while to let go. Yeah, just wow …
I love that Doug is a left handed drummer like Phil Collins and me.
PF toured Britain twice for Dark Side of the Moon - just after its release they embarked on a club tour, then the album began to take off and they returned from America to do a larger Arena tour. This delayed the recording of the next album, but they were playing much of the work in progress on this tour
What a soundscape. It’s other worldly.
one of their best live performance ever ❤
Was lucky enough to be at wembley for this, one the best concerts i saw, the new tracks, dark side, echos. Felt this was the band at there peak. Also interesting how this and other new songs changed when released on album. Took a while to actually get used to album version as was so taken by this version.
Doug,
Love your reactions of Pink Floyd. The end of this by Rick is another tribute to Sid. "See Emily Play"
Whoever recommended this... 👍
Never heard this version wow!
Great review! 👍👍👍
Love how excited you were to hear that haunting riff
This is amazing version!
A note perfect album.
I've never heard this brilliant early performance. Great selection Doug, would be fun to hang out and listen to and talk about music and tinker on the keys and pass the bowl with you. I love playing this song on the piano, though eventually i get frustrated lol
Beautiful!
Love you're reaction for pink floyd. They're my favorite rock band. I would love to see your reaction to the group 10cc their song Feel the Benefit off the Deceptive Bends album. Great album and one of my top 5 favorite songs. Keep up the great content. 😊
Nothing like the style and class of art and beauty.
I’m just watching this for the first time and I paused it to go outside and smoke before some Pink Floyd and here I see Doug doing the same thing. Good call.
I saw this show in June 75 in Montreal. Great show, great song!
This is amazing. I'm so immersed. So many memories, but to hear it like this.
Reminds me of the first time I heard DSotM from live shows in Japan, prior to the material being completed. Working stuff out on the road was they way they did it back then and the end results speak for themselves.
Saw them in KCK 9/11/72 right before I got inducted in the Army. They played most of the not yet released DDOTM first and then launched into the “hits” ❤❤
This is on the bootleg album "British Winter Tour 1974" - I have it. Recorded in Stoke-On Trent, England, 19 November 1974.
Bristol Hippodrome, December 1974 I don't recall which night!), I was there in the 'quadraphonic' grand circle. I've just found it on RUclips...must listen. I went alone in that my brother was there but with a girlfriend...it wasn't 'hip' to acknowledge me! My friend, also due to go, was in hospital after being hit with a Hockey ball in the face...he has not forgotten. I will link him this to remind/rub it in lol.
I'm guessing it was Richard Wright who had the foresight to imagine the sax's in the epilogue on the studio version in 1-5 but the bubbling C3 Hammond has some tasty 'echoes' of Meddle. This pared down live take is a tease of what's about to shatter the space time continuum a year later. I noticed that the beginning portion of 6-9 was part of the one recording here. Another genius move by RW to split them up in the studio to give some air and a perfect closing reprise to the theme of the album. I'd argue this is Pink Floyd most sophisticated, unified, unselfconscious and polished album. A great bookend to DSOTM.
I was 17 when I bought this dynamite sleeve album in early '76, with its postcard, sticker, lyric sheet and poster inside. Best $7.99 I ever spent.
Saw them for this tour in 1975 in New Jersey. Awesome show...
One of my all time favourite bands. Trippin' !!
Roosevelt stadium! I was there.
@@211milkman Yepper !!!
Animals and Wish you were here are my favorite PF albums.
Echoes, studio version, is my favorite song.
PF was, is and will always be my most favorite band.
Getting your groove on again Eh? Doug. It was pretty good, improvements have been made since, especially in having the long chord at the start. Keep Reacting!
Have this concert downloaded and have listened to this performance so many times I can’t count! This concert and the 1975 Hamilton, Ontario, Canada concert both are amazing!
How much guts does it take to open a concert with 4 songs (SOYCD, Raving and Drooling, You Must be Crazy, Have a Cigar) that hadn’t even been recorded yet? And in 2 of those case, two of those pieces would be changed significantly before being released 2 albums later! And only then launch into DSOTM!!
Who else did that? Nobody!! That why they are the greatest!!
Wish You Were Here is also my favorite Pink Floyd Album.
Doug, this was absolutely amazing. Thank you for this treat. I appreciate you wanting to present the work and your reaction without playing over it but I hope you consider a "Play along with Doug" where you jam along to the whole thing and ideally have your MIDI data displayed on the screen at the same time. Your playing sounded really fun and the piano blended in the mix excellently. 👍 PS: I appreciate the 🌿🐻💨💨💨 too. It seems essential here.
Really very surprising how good this sounds.
Its not sounding dated but very fresh and not improvised by the sounds of it. What a band they were then and became. And that is still one of their best songs. Rick wrights masterpiece no doubts.
Dave on all guitars as superb as ever. Rogers throbing bass and gental but heartfelt vocals and nick as precise on the drums is a joy to hear.
Oh man goosebumps man goosebumps.
Made it into a great album song. Probably and arguably the best album.
Please doug can we here some roger waters from the album amused to death.
Any way a great episode.
This is darren from glasgow scotland 🏴🙂✌🎵🎸🥁🎹🎼
my favorite band
A special one Doug. She/He shines in Major at the end.
Richards Hammond was played through rotating Leslie speakers hence the humming sound.
great song!
pretty sure this opened the show i saw them at in 1994 when i was 16 - at the old Giants Stadium
Anyone else notice the melody from the animated movie “up” during Richard’s synthesizer lines at the ending of the song?
Sir Gilmores' best guitar work may have been on a track called "pink and velvet" by a band called Berlin. they did the theme song to top gun i think?. the singer is an ex Pr*n star if i recall correctly? anyway, keep the great content coming mate! big love to all people :)
1975: I got my first Casio tape recorder, accompanied by the MC music cassette. With lyrics and all. Over the years 4 LP,CD and countless remasters this album has it,s own little shrine in my living room. It says it all what masterpiece it is. Often listening from beginning till the end. Better then medical treatment, mindfulness or whatever. Rick’s masterpiece on piano, synths and all. Shine on
This is an awesome video! Just found your channel last night and I love it! Thank you so much! Can I make a request for Helter Skelter... The Beatles version? That song is the absolute definition of Rock and Roll in my opinion! Please do it! Thanks for all the great content!
Well that was interesting. I have to admit, I've not listened to a lot of live Pink Floyd from this era. I tend to think of them mostly in terms of the tremendous accomplishment their studio recordings were, which is absolutely true and valid. But I forget that they worked out a lot of their song live in front of thiir fans, as did many of the bands of that era. They were an excellent live jam band. How cool it must have been to hear that live for the first time, then ten months later get the album and hear the fully realized final product. I know what a profound impact the album had on me the first time I heard it. It must have hit doubly hard to experience it live first.
I look forward to see you listening to Dogs and Sheep precursors from the same release. These are much more different than the final versions (especially You gotta be crazy (Dogs) - that track features double amount of lyrics so David's not singing he's almost rapping on this one).
Also I must point out that there is a bootleg circulating on youtube\web called "The extraction tapes". It features SOYCD in its uncut studio version, without sax solo and with addtitional jam section. Description of bootleg states that these were the tapes lost/stolen when band moved from Abbey Road to their own studio Britannia Row. Quality is not that great, but still listenable, one might say it's a fake mockup, but I believe there were some signs that it was genuine.
Cheers! Love your stuff Doug!
There are parts SOYCD that call to mind Betrayal (the soundtrack from Sorcerer) done by Tangerine Dream. Sorcerer was a cool action movie released in 1977 starring Roy Scheider. It did not fare well at the box office; its biggest failing was being contemporary to Star Wars.
Anyway, the point was supposed to be a nod to Tangerine Dream and how cool it was to hear this live version of SOYCD for the first time. Thx.
Tangerine Dream is epic
Love that song, always brings me back to my teens, one of PF's best, i always play both "parts" in one single listen
24:30 Rick's playing parts of "Arnold Layne", another hidden hommage to Syd.
Thanks so much for doing this one Doug. It is indeed awesome to hear how it evolved.
Starts with Richard and ends with Syd. "Emily tries but misunderstands" ❤
My first time seeing the Floyd was Wembley on the Autumn Tour '74, on the Saturday night (Nov 16). Story was that the sound on the first and previous night was shit, so they called in Brian Humphries to sort it out. I don't know if this recording came from the Saturday night but I like to think that it is. As an impressionable 17 year old, I felt so cool and the night got plastered into my brain and I've never forgotten it. Doug you're right about people keeping quiet and listening. My recollection of those days in general is that for a band such as this the crowd would just sit and listen, no whooping or cheering.
It's been bugging me for decades that there is still no official release of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-9. It is my favourite piece of music, yet it does not exist. And it should. Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Wish You Were Here album. I live in the vain hope that there can at least be a complete mix of this immense song released digitally.
starting with unreleased shine on you crazy diamond, then 2 unreleased early versions of tracks off animals (released 3 years later), then the entire dark side of the moon... and THEN echoes played for encore... that's the best concert setlist EVER.
I saw PF on the same tour (Winter Tour 1974). I saw them at Trentham Gardens, England about a mile from where I still live. I was just 17 years old and I still remember the night as if it was last week. A bootleg album was recorded on the night but it’s as rare as hens teeth now. There is an audio file of the bootleg on RUclips.
Thanks for this - so special. Also really enjoyed your reaction.
My fave Floyd album. 50 years old next year. I first heard it 30 years ago.
This is sensational. It would have been amazing if they did nothing more to it… and then they went and made it even better.
This is why they invented music 🥃
Wonderful version, but I just miss one thing, the saxophone solo of Dick Perry as of the studio version, but is still a PF masterpiece.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for this! So lovely to hear a different interpretation from the group.
