Pink Floyd - 1977-06-25 - Cleveland, OH (HQ AUD)
1970s - #4: Spring 1977 was an incredible
time for rock music, with some of the largest names in the business,
representing numerous genres, all on tour at once. Pink Floyd was one of
the acts on the road at that time, promoting their latest album,
Animals as part on the In The Flesh Tour. The tour featured the famous
character inflatables puppets, a pyrotechnic "waterfall" and one of the
biggest and most elaborate stages to date, including umbrella-like
canopies that would raise from the stage to protect the band from the
elements. The set list each night consisted of playing the entire
Animals disc, then the entire Wish You Were here album, and ending with
encores from Dark Side of The Moon. Throughout the tour, Roger Waters
demonstrated all sorts of aggressive behavior, from arguing with the
lighting crew in NY, to yelling at the audiences for talking during
quieter numbers, to even spitting in the face of a fan. Waters began to
realize that fame had alienated him from his audience, which became part
of the inspiration behind Pink Floyd's next project, The Wall. Despite
the difficulties on this tour, the band's playing was, for the most part
superb as evident in this high quality audience tape from June 25, 1977, 38 years
ago today,

Interesting backstory about Roger Waters on that tour - I didn't know! Can't wait to hear this one - thank you!
Animals is a great album, for some reason the critics never put it in the class of DSOTM, WYWH or The Wall, i feel it is every bit as good as those other classics. To me Floyd was never the same after Roger left.in 83,even though the plodded along without him, Shame that he and David couldnt get along Floyd without Waters was like the Stones would have been without Jagger. Speedy very few bands from the 90s onward have really done much for me. wanted your opinion of Radiohead, Some of their music and albums are considered iconic Have to admit i was skepical when my kids sugested that i give them a listen but i was pleasently supprised , they are very good. Im one of those get off my lawn types that are always bitching about the crappy music scene today but albums like OK computer and The Bends sound very similur to vintage U2 from the Actung Baby days they are actually not that young, band members all in their 40s. Any boots by them out there ? Still think most music from the last 20 years or so sucks but pride myself in being open minded and their are some good bands that slip through the cracks , ever listen to them Speedy ,thanks again
Can't comment on Radiohead because I've never listened to them!
If you like U2 , give them a listen, I would start with OK Computer which is considered their best and also the Bends , both are in Rolling Stones 500 greatest albums list The singer Thom Yorke has vocal range that surpasses even a young Bono, writes and sings beautiful complex ballads, band also rocks out , very versatle band , all excellent musicians . think one of their problems is the fact that they came along in the mid 90s when a lot of us were gettting disgusted with the music scene. If you like U2 give them a listen, may be plesently supprised
