Dude, how you gonna skip over the fact that they made each song on this album outside of acceptable radio play standards for minimum and maximum length? Therefore, not a single song on this album could be played on the radio at the time of release. An intentional middle finger to the industry...almost punk like.
Didn’t even think about that
Maybe because they already did that. Several times. Atom Heart Mother. Ummagumma. What's the single from meddle? One of these days. A drum solo with one sentence of lyrics. There was nothing punk about Floyd. Long songs are old hat with Floyd homie
@@MsFreshadenu punk was nothing to do with being anti anything. The songs were tailor made for radio play, short catchy and talentless was the only remit. Every punk rocker was a wannabe star who would sell their granny for a hit.
@@paulf4626 Dude, that part about granny was harsh.
@@AndreyFadeev-rw3jx But true.
For all the controversy, all the fighting and the egos, these four guys produced the most incredible music of their generation. Animals is absolutely, positively superb.
@European American Not sure but he may be making a comment that it was one person with the ego problem.
There's no arguing Roger was the best songwriter in the band, but what him and his ego never realized is that he needed Dave Nick and Richard to play his music
Yes Water's ego was huge but Gilmour had his moments as well. Also, according to Mason in his book,Inside Out, there were times when Wright refused to come to the studio. Anyway, whatever, these guys are collectively, brilliant musicians.
@@BrandonEht Totally agree, Brandon.
Agreed
I taught Orwell's "Animal Farm" for 10 years in university... During the last lesson, I'd play "Animals" in the background... Happy to say that I turned on more than a few students to the brilliance of Pink Floyd... "Dark Side of the Moon" is one of the best albums ever, but if you can enter Floyd with "Animals", well, that's something. 💜
I've listened to all Waters's interviews, or so it seems, and he would never mention Orwell/Animal Farm when pontificating on this album, though its influence is obvious in song text.
I went to Catholic High School... and my religion teacher sophomore year introduced us to The Wall and what it was about. He was an amazing teacher and they fired him the next year. Opened my eyes to the C Church.
which is exactly how i entered Floyd. i was close to turning 14, and after i got stoned with my brother for the first time ever, he had me lay down on the bed and listen to Animals in its entirety. that was about 25 years ago, and it's still my favorite record of all time
I hope you taught that Orwell wrote it as a warning... not an instruction manual.
@@BootsORiley How I started to listen to Pink Floyd was my dad showed me a live performance of saucerful of secrets(or celestial voices). Never heard anything like it.
I've always regarded Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and Animals as a kind of musical Holy Trinity. Animals has some of the finest guitar riffs Floyd ever recorded. Brilliant album.
But the Wall stands over them
I agree with you about the 3. But i do love meddle. Echoes is such a great song. There harmonizing is so spot on.
Pink Floyd Album order(Post syd and missing some)
1. You
2. Can't
3. Rank
4. Them
5. Because
6. They
7. Are
8. All
9. Great
10. Atom heart mother
One of the positives from the Animals tour was Roger realized his vocals were really not good and Dave ended up singing some of Roger lead vocals that were on the Studio recordings. FINALLY!!
@@Redguard677 Even though it's overall an inferior MUSICAL piece. There are a couple good songs, but it's mostly lyrical.
David Gilmour's done some truly fantastic work, but his best guitar work ever IMHO was on "Dogs".
I so agree with you. What a masterpiece of a song! I saw Doyle Bramhall III also play & sing it during Roger Water's tour a few years back... He nailed it
Exactly my favorite album and my favorite song sheep is really good too the explosiveness go with dogs too the whole album is just super underrated
Absolutely agree
Guitar riffs at the end of “Sheep” are nothing short of epic
@@nationradical yea only reason I like dogs more is because it’s longer honestly sheep is better but dogs is just a whole experience and just amazing sheep is just a faster more explosive version that I love and is amazing too
This bloke is incredible - the amount of research he puts in must be a full time job. Hats off to him.
Agreed.

@@MarcelElfers That Moai head changed colour and size!! 😱😱😱
Yet he doesn't know the difference between 'exasperated' and 'exacerbated.'
He's a tosser. Most of my mates at the pub know more than him.
David's guitar work on the Animals album is brilliant. I believe that even Roger alluded to that, during one of his many interviews.
IMHO Animals is the absolute first album I go to when I’m in a Floyd mood, regardless of how the members feel about it. Creativity doesn’t necessarily correlate to listenability. Dogs is an amazing song that I never, ever tire of.
It’s sad that the great mind of Waters turned him into a intolerable egomaniac. I always felt bad for Rick Wright, as his keyboard playing was intrinsic in creating their sound. Miss that guy 😔
"Creativity doesn't correlate to listenability." That's quite false perspective tbh, I mean both creativity and listenability can also coexist together i.e. Both this album and basically any Coldplay's early release are similarly laid back and simple and practically easy to listen, but ultimately which one is really the better, most listenable album for you? Obviously you're not just merely looking for one that's the easiest to your ear right?
@@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435 since your screen name is what it is, I’ll just pass on responding.
Roger gets blackballed for saying negative things about Israel. But then again who doesn't ?
I use it for workout music. Long and engages your mind the entire time. Before you know it, the workout is over.

$10. To attend a Pink Floyd concert, they really were the good ole days
$10 back then was a pretty big chunk o’ change
that's fifty dollars in 2019 dollars
about $50 in '78 after adjusting for inflation

I can only imagine the fright of it resonating all the way back to the desks of the bean counters. Thanks Howard, for sharing this epochal moment in Floydian history.
It's such a crying shame that not a single concert was recorded/filmed professionally since Pompeii and until late 80s...
That’s awful
I heard that Roger have something in his basement
@@GenusWelt kids
Wasn't the entire '77 tour recorded onto soundboards? No video obviously, but audio of course.
it's even more DEVASTATING........to think.......TODAY....every audience member has HIGH DEF CAMERAS on their phone....to capture BORING 9th-GENERATION COPYCATS like Ed Sheeran or Greta Van Fleet!!
WHY couldn't that have happened when EVERY BAND WAS PUTTING OUT GENIUS RECORDS AND EVERY LIVE BAND WAS MIND BLOWING AND ICONIC????
OUCH.
I was at that Montreal show, and it did go down like that ; in fact, I was peaking on acid when Roger went on his rant after the cracker... totally destroyed my high and the mood of everyone... lol Very surprised they pulled it together after that...Fantastic show though, never forgot the 30 foot pig, and all the other floating stuff... what a buzz !!! Later that same year, I worked with April Wine on The Whole World's Going Crazy tour, and the stage show was 2nd to that of the Animals show, as documented in the tabloids of the day... Fond Memories Indeed, and Very Crazy Times !!!
I was there as well and it still is one of my most amazing memories.
Battersea Power Station is now luxury apartments. The Dogs won.
Tell that to the dogs at battersea dogs home ( they might beg to differ ? Or for a biscuit )
a shelter .........from pigs on the wing
Same as it ever was
The Pigs actually.
WWOOOOFFF!!!
Came for the Pink Floyd, stayed for the Spinal Tap moments.
a masterpiece - my favorite pink floyd album. i just love it and I am glad I kept the vinyl
Same here
Animals might be my favorite album from The Floyd.
Pink Floyd has been a “winter” band for me. Animals takes me back to the winter of 89-90 and walking to the school bus listening to Sheep, over and over again.
Same. I recall listening to these 70s Floyd albums during NZ winters, high-school in the early 80s. Winter seems to suit the aesthetic of those "big four" albums (and "Meddle", which is a kind of transitional album).
Yeah, I stole the cassette in 89 from a father of a friend. Suppose I didn’t think he would miss it. I knew Pink Floyd fairly well being 14 but never heard anything like this. It wasn’t dark side of the moon. It was a Waters masterpiece. At 45 now it means just as much now as it did back then.
It's interesting you say that. I always found Syd's music and early Floyd to be "winter" music. It's easier to believe in myths with snow on the ground.
@@75sliver ohhh that's were my cassette went. you owe my £4.99 an i want it !
“Pigs on the wing” was a saying invented by WW2 fighter pilots. It describes an enemy plane in the blind spot of the pilot. What a great song.
As a PINK FLOYD fan, this was so informative,so interesting.All the details of what went on behind the scenes while recording and touring to support their tenth studio album ANIMALS, was great to listen to, especially listening to the audio bootleg.Thanks and stay safe.
Can't believe I've been listening to Floyd for over 4 decades (also read a few books about 'em) but didn't know til watching this that the kick ass bass in 3 Different Ones was played by David! 🤩 Animals is an intense concept album wherein each member of the band made sonic contributions still dripping with tons of feeling to this day, IMO. Phenomenal!
Let's not forget how absolutely incredible Piper at the Gates of Dawn was. That was basically the first album of it's kind, and it still sounds unique and brilliant to this day. Such a unique blend of rock, psychedelia, folk, and pop was unheard of for it's time.. and really hasn't been done nearly as well since. Plus the transformation that they were forced to go through post Syd's departure is in my opinion the greatest turnaround and evolution that a band has ever undergone. It took em' a few years.. but when they finally found their sound... well.. the rest is history.
So much I did not know! Floyd is one of my favorites. You narration and emotion throughout was stellar. Keep up the great work!!
I feel extremely fortunate that I was at the In The Flesh tour at Olympic Stadium. It was the ultimate concert for me (never surpassed) and as a result, Animals is my absolute must Pink Floyd album. I remember sitting with my friend, Hugh, and wondering what the hell was going on (the pig was parked up to our left btw). Only recently did I find out it was Waters getting pissed off and then spitting on the fan. I still have the show booklet but alas, my t-shirt has long been gone. Wonderful memories indeed, including the quadrophonic sound.
Animals was my legitimate introduction to Floyd, and it remains my favorite record of all time.
Your content is always top-tier and you go into in-depth evidential explanations about your intended topic(s). Good video and keep it up!
Animals is my personal favorite by the band…In my opinion it’s he bands best album to date and David’s finest guitar work in their entire catalog of music…
the guitar on pigs is right there with Hendrix if not better!
I was at the July 3rd 1977 show at Madison Square Garden in NYC. To this day it remains the best rock show I have ever experienced. Absolutely mind altering.
Superb as usual. I can't believe I virtually ignored this album for almost 40 years. It is now comfortably in my favourite 10 albums of al time.
Ashamedly, my experience is similar.
Same, I had it for decades but only fell in love with it a few summers ago. It’s my favorite now.💀🔥
Dude, I love your channel, it's one of the best things on youtube. I mean that sincerely, but I just need to point out it's *exacerbated* not exasperated. Anyway, your channel is freaking fantastic and I hope you're producing content for many years to come.
This channel is becoming one of my favs.
Same here 😊
Me too :)
I don't see Roger as an ego. I see him as a visionary with social anxiety. He has a brilliant creative mind.
Yea it’s the classic Paul vs John scenario
As a HUGE Floyd fan...(Animals being one of favourite albums) - I must say, this was incredibly comprehensive! There was 1 or 2 pics I've never seen before....great job - love the livingroom set btw!
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Very nicely done!
Excellent video. Enormous amount of P.F. info and all of it was very interesting. Thank you vinyl dude.
All of the Pink Floyd videos on this channel are historical treasures. Thank you!
Color me impressed! I usually expect to bail on such "think pieces," but this presentation was well-informed and well presented. Thanks!
I graduated from high school in 75. I was in huge fan back then, but I learned more about this band in this segment than anything I’ve heard throughout all these decades. Thanks for putting this up; it was very well done!
Your are the most under subscribed channel on youtube.
Thank you for all the efforts you put into your creations.
It really is appreciated. You make my day !!
Wow, I thought I knew a lot on this subject with all the articles I have read but there was a ton I didn't know. Thanks for the in depth analysis. Pink Floyd is my #1 rock band bar none. When I listen to the great music on this album and The Wall I always have in the back of my mind that they were falling apart and not getting along. It makes it bitter sweet as opposed to Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon.
I worked on the European version of this tour- as merchandiser. The first few shows were not very together and they took a few days off, sent the crew and equipment to Antwerp to rehearse the cues to a backing track while the band went back to London to rehearse. I was very pleased to get this gig because I had been watching the Floyd since 1967 at UFO and Middle Earth but the sound on the first few gigs, Dortmund in particular, was very ragged. By the time they got back to England to do the shows there they were spot on.
Middle Earth ! Those were the days. Do you remember when it was Electric Garden ?
Roy Weard, what an experience !
Gotta say, this is a fascinating documentary and so well put together.
Your reviews are fantastic, please keep up the good work. Very cool interior design to the room also!
Excellent album. Loved hearing it brought back for its anniversary on Roger’s tour a few years ago. I’d thought I’d heard it all, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned about this era of Floyd from this video.
how sad is this?
FOR MY BIRTHDAY..... a friend bought EXPENSIVE great seats for Roger Waters' THE WALL at Madison Square Garden. I was super-excited bc I love VISUAL spectacles..... and this was going to be VERY SPECIAL.........but the day of, I had a routine (fake) court date bc police and judges are crooked..... (i was charged with speech criticizing Emperor Bloomberg!)........and my COURT DATE was only supposed to be 5 minutes..... "Not ready for trial; let's come back to court in one month".........no big deal.....but then they did something NEVER DONE BEFORE:
THEY THREW ME IN RIKERS (world's biggest jail).....FOR 3 WEEKS (!!!).......with NO arrest or even ALLEGATIONS of wrongdoing!!!!!!
OUCH.
Law Enforcers have ALWAYS been the TOP EVIL IN HISTORY, from Nazi Germany to Stalin's USSR!
Fantastic stuff. Love hearing the story of how greatness is achieved. Animals ranks as my favourite Floyd album
You My Friend Are a wealth of info! Love it. I have always like and tried at the time, those old days ,to break into The Floyd. It won't easy breaking that Beatles Stones Mold. "All The Young dudes" I never got off that Revolution stuff....Thank You always for your hard work. Those times were filled with all kinds of different emotions.
This video was surprisingly well done. You did a huge amount of research and it shows.
Dogs is a masterpiece and one of the best crafted guitar works of Gilmour. From his opening haunting acoustic chord progressions to the double lead guitar tracking to the killer solo. It really sets the mood and plays well with the lyrics and sentiment of the song. IMHO the only modern day song close to the feeling of Dogs is Porcupine Tree's epic Anesthetize from their Fear of a Blank Planet album.
This is my go to album for camping while around the fire with my buddies. After that, AIC Jar of Flies. This occurs almost every weekend out here in the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Life is good!
Just fantastic----always loved Animals and your videos have been so informative and so interesting, the music sounds fresh again, awesome job, incredible channel; Happy New Year!!
Nicely done. This confirmed all the rumors that I heard many years ago before the web and RUclips. Some of your report about the shenanigans of the flying pigs had me cracking up. Thanks for your work. Great job.
Roger was Genius,
David was Brilliant,
Richard was Complimentary,
Nick was a Driving Force.
Together = Magic Carpet Ride...
Animals has been my goto hangover cure album since mid 90s. Highly recommended.
Another amazing show. So well done, I love these videos! Thank you!! 👍 🤘
I think I love Animals almost as much as you! I enjoy the in depth look at the album, and your video on The Wall as well.
Dude, these Animals episodes are gold. Gold! [subbed]
‘If you didn’t care what happened to me, and I didn’t care..for you’ classic ✊🍻
Great overview with lots of interesting little details. Not only my favorite Floyd album, but my favorite album, period. I think it's sonically rich, lyrically rich, and I just love concept albums generally.
Awesome documentary! Many thanks for using several of my concert photos taken on July 1, 1977. ET
One of the 10 best music albuns ever. A real master piece.
If you're an Animals fan, you'll love the Wish You Were Here Experience Edition. It has the "rough" beginnings of Dogs and Sheep performed live before these songs were refined in the studio.
Raving and Drooling and You Gotta be Crazy
I like You Gotta Be Crazy sung by Dave. It’s faster and has a simple but effective Roger bass line.
@@culloden23 Dave sings it fast because there's more lyrics. Roger saw/heard the issue and edited the lyrics for the album. It's great listening either way.
Excellent cadence in your narrations, & I really dig the 70s motif in your surroundings. Great show!
fantastic video. the bit about the album cover is crazy..so much trouble you had to go through before photoshop haha. animals is a brilliant, timeless album, the kind that demands many listens and gets better every time.
hasn't this video been uploaded before or am i insane?
Was thinking that myself.
Yeah just in two separate parts
You are correct
I think this is a merging of a Two-part series a few months back.
Its as recycled as this poseur influencers aesthetic.
I’m a huge fan of Rogers ,and I can’t deny the artistic presence of the rest of the members of the band , especially David G virtuosity. But if you look at the Rogers solo albums you might be able to see why he is pink.
The only good solo album from Roger is The Final Cut and that's because Dave and Nick play on it.
Amused to Death is a Vocal on today's topics. I mean man saw the future.
And yet he wasn't Pink. He didn't sing the majority of the material, and David wrote ALL of the guitar virtuosity, which is 90% of what hooks you into listening to Floyd. Roger was an incredible lyricist, and an average musician. His solo albums were awful, and The Final Cut was the worst PF album next to Ummagumma.
I love how in-depth your analysis was of the album and the following tour. I was surprised that you left out the third encore of the Montreal concert, where Gilmour walked off the stage and left Snowy White to play guitar alone. That was probably just another thing that led to the tension surrounding the making of The Wall.
Pink Floyd has one of the most interesting history’s of any band. Most bands don’t survive the things they did to become one of the biggest bands in the world!!!!!
im a huge floyd fan You only hear about dark side, the wall, and wish u were hear, but their earlier, and later albums hardly ever get spoken about, david gilmore is one of my top 5 favorite guitar players, i am sincerely thankful for this upload....
Meddle is a musical masterpiece as well.
For me #1 is Jeff Beck...... #2 is very closely followed by David Gilmour,
(basically INTERCHANGEABLE )
Just revisited 'Animals' recently... This is such a cool breakdown of the album. Thank you and keep em' coming!!
Great episode bro!!!!! thanks for taking the time to do these!
My favorite Floyd album, and who wouldn't want to hear it in concert with surround sound haha!!!
My personal favorite Pink Floyd album.
I discovered this channel few minus ago...i signed up immediately. I very like your classic style. Keep it up! 👍
Thanks for a great review.... I was there....Dark Side live in ‘73.....Roger is a musical genius.....Pink Floyd live were like no other band 👍🏻🥂
"Animals" was the last classic Pink Floyd album. Fortunately, I got to see their "Animals/Wish You Were Here" tour, complete with flying pig and circular screen, at Stafford New Bingley Hall (that's a photo of the venue at 16:00) in '77, which was astounding, as you can imagine!
The pig was great, apart from the barrage of cigarette packets and beer cans that greeted its flight over the crowd, one of which smacked a girl right in front of me on the back of the head!
And all for £3.50!
If they did the same thing these days, the tickets would probably cost a hundred times as much!
When I saw Floyd at Wembley in 1985 I remember the thing that really impressed us was the size of that pigs bollocks 😂😂.
But then again were were all very, very stoned. Everyone was sitting on the grass (and smoking it!) and complete strangers were passing spliffs to each other. I'd just finished my finals at Swansea Uni. Epic!
I was at that gig ( one night anyway , the encore was money)💫
I was at the wembley gig as well...
Love the vintage themed set. Subbed.
Thanks for this great video. I was at the June 25, 1977 show that you mention twice. What a concert!
Succinct, and informative, without wasting the listener's time. The host has a great voice, and a style that does not distract from the subject. Nice work.
One of my favorite lines in a Floyd album is on the song sheep.
'Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out if obscurity, into the dream'
Possibly my favorite 'Floyd album .
That was incredibly well researched - thank you. It's an album that often gets overlooked by regular documentaries but remains a favourite of mine>
One of the best music channels hands down... You deserve 10 million + subs... One day my friend 👍
Love the content brother keep it coming!
THIS VIDEO BEING UPLOADED HAS MADE MY DAY YES GET INNNN
This is a fantastic video! Thank you to you and your team!
Hey man, awesome show dude. I just stumbled across you and watched a couple of your videos, very well done. I've subscribed👍 Animals has always been my favorite Floyd a!bum, was 17 when it dropped. During my teenage years they came out with Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. How freaking amazing is that😂 (The Wall, I had just turned 20)..The 70s were a good time to be a teenager, so much great music.. Anyways, thanks for the video, look forward to watching more..
Wish we had a recording of one of these shows
you gotta be crazy is on youtube. they were playing Animals songs on the previous tour under different names
The guitar solo at the end of “Pigs (Three Different Ones)” is the angriest expression of emotion in guitar playing ever, IMHO.
Pink Floyd is one of my absolute favorite acts. What's really weird is that the last Pink Floyd album I ever bought was wish you were here.
And with the resurgence of vinyl the last decade or so and all the talk about acts from those days I've been doing a lot of soul searching about why I don't seem to have albums from some of my favorite acts. By the way for some background, I graduated from high school in 1972.
But I think I found the reason. In the early part of the 1970s I became a bit of an audiophile, culminating with me building my own dynaco 400 amplifier and a pat 5 preamp. And that followed with me becoming a Hi-Fi salesman in 1976 through 1982. The stores I worked at also had an album selection and I was able to crack open albums from time to time and listen to them and use them to demonstrate systems. What happened was my musical taste temporarily changed to focus more on classical music and "audiophile" recordings. This is also when I became a huge fan of bands like return to forever.
And then in the '80s I started raising a family and focusing more on surround sound systems for movies and stuff like that.
So around 10 years ago I started picking up where I left off. It's kind of comical that suddenly I am trying to collect all those old Pink Floyd albums and a lot of the stuff that came out after 1975 from bands I liked but I never purchased their stuff. By the way, the one exception would be genesis. I bought everything they ever produced except for calling all stations.
Watching comfortably numb on the pulse DVD still brings an emotional response from me. The music coupled with the light show is one of the most tremendous examples of live music I've ever experienced.
Meanwhile, I'm just starting to get into animals.
Absolutely incredible! Great work!! I love this so much
Animals is pure art, one of their best.
From "Dark Side of the Moon" through to "The Wall"...no band that I know besides Led Zeppelin has ever created such a musical statement over 4 consecutive albums. These guys were brilliant together as far as the music goes. Unfortunately Roger wanted total control over that aspect of it too which basically put an end to that. I saw 2 Pink Floyd concerts without Roger being there and they were both awesome. The effects and everything were very well received by a Detroit audience and it proved to me that one man don't make a band great, they all have to do it for it to be great. Roger was left out of that party.
I don't know, while they may not be given credit they deserve, ELP should be mentioned, Yes' Yes Album through Tormato or even Genesis' Nursery Cryme-Trick of a Tail. Especially Yes and Genesis' lyrics. But then, one could argue the same for Rush.
@@vitoguido3258 I love "Yes" and Peter Gabriel, both with and without Genesis, but neither of these bands came anywhere close to having the kind of impact Floyd has had. You ask someone like my dad- who unfortunately passed a few years back- who Yes or Peter Gabriel is and he would've had no idea- he played bluegrass music and hated rock, pop, etc.- but he knew who Pink Floyd was. MY mother- same way- her favorite artist is Ann Murray- but she knows who Pink Floyd is, everyone does. When I was a kid growing up in the late 70s, early 80s- I knew who they were before I even started listening to music. I already knew who they were and was curious to hear their music because I had heard so much about it through pop culture, my older siblings, etc. I had never heard of Yes though- or Peter Gabriel- in fact the only other musical talent I knew of at that age was Zepplin. They were just as talked about, just as large of a part of pop culture as Floyd was.
@@stoneysdead689 Hence why I mentioned the lack of credit due. However, while Floyd's early stuff is interesting, to say the least, Dark Side of the Moon through The Wall only accounts for 5 out of like 14 albums. While their presence was certainly felt in the mainstream, Yes' and Genesis influence was just felt throughout the Prog world at large, in my opinion and the body of substantial work to offer far exceeds that of Floyd. Still, at the end of the day, I'm a junky for all of it.

I just got a record player for Christmas and I’ve just been goin crazy with listening to vinyls and getting them and such. I’ve already had a huge love for music but these vinyl’s just makes me have more love for music i can just put my phone down listen and look at the art on the vinyl cases and such.
They're called "records"
