We are long overdue for a gig from The Animals Tour (as it was called in Europe). This excellent recording is from the last of four consecutive nights from a rather fitting location that used to be a slaughterhouse. Pavillon De Paris, 25th Febuary, 1977. Another Harvested gem! Here’s the playlist and here’s a ticket scan.

I find the 1977 live versions of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 6-9)” to be vastly more amazing than the studio recording or any live version since.
Mainly because of the variation of Richard’s piano solo, which is haunting beyond belief. On top of that the Snowy/Gilmour guitar duels are cut like knives. I can’t think of any recording that has so much live mojo! Has anyone ever covered the 77 version of the song?
It is an amazing version when played live! There is no 1977 studio version to be uncovered unfortunately.
Have only just stumbled across this excellent website – looking forward to listening to this live version of my favourite Floyd album !!
One of my favorite shows….from 77. Awesome as always Doc. : )
Superb work as usual herr Doctor.
Thanks Doc. You always amaze me with your very fine job. Long life to BD!
My best regards, H.
Really great – one of the best you have posted from this period. I saw PF at Madison Square Garden July, 1977 and this brought back great memories of the live versions of all of Animals from that era.
Yet another great show. Man, I was way to young when this happened, but listening to this seems to be the second best thing. They were on fire! Davids solos were amazing!
One thing I wondered, hearing the audience chatter during “Dogs”: Do people generally keep yapping during the shows or did they just take the opportunity as the music quieted down a bit?
Wow, great show Doc. The Floyd are smokin here! Makes me really with they had some professionally recorded shows from the Animals Tour.
Great show and superior sound. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
This is probably the best show I’ve heard from that tour!
Thanks for posting this!
And, of course, thank you for the plug!
Harvested is and will be missed. 🙁
Merci !
