Show #129 Release date: 28. March, 2009
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better… This is an upgrade to the previous 9. May, 1977 podcast “Look Mommy, there’s an aeropig up in the sky” (Show #70 Release date: 13. October, 2006). As it turns out, it was recorded by Reinhart Holhwein, not Bill Graham Productions as previously thought.
Reinhart’s recording landed in the lap of a master of mastering, Derek McCabe of ‘Mouth of the beast’, a group of people who master live recordings, mostly Grateful Dead stuff. The clarity is much better.

I frequently sample various ‘Animals’ concerts available from the Doc and I have my favorites. I’m new to this one; I stumbled onto it because I was looking for ‘Obscured By Clouds’.
Anyway been sampling it lately and evaluating it against other shows I’ve enjoyed. I’m not very savvy about music; I have a proverbial ‘tin ear’. But my impression of this concert is that –for whatever technical reason –it seems to have much more power and force than other ‘Animals’ concerts typically available. It thunders and booms, it’s a juggernaut. I’m still making-up-my-mind about it. Still determining whether it will be a top-fave or not.
Very neck-and-neck with other great ‘Animals’ shows. I’ve long felt that the NYC -77 Madison Square Garden show is still the best I’ve ever heard courtesy of the meticulous Doctor. The intensity and the spleen are outrageous. But this Oakland show …whew…deserves a lot of study. It booms.
That Oakland concert on May 9th and the recording is the best you’re gonna get from 1977.
What’s the soundscape at the end? That sounds familiar somehow
It’s a SFX sample sent to radio stations. Rather not say exactly because I’m not supposed to use it like that. Haha.
First time in 40 years hearing this. Thank you very much.
My pleasure. Thank you for tuning in!
Great show doc!
Bloody fucking great long ass show!! Love the extended versions of the songs:-) shine on!
They did a very good job on this for sure….now that I have this I will be throwing away my copy of this show now. lol
Lol! Agreed! Much better quality here. I’ll be tossing my old copy of this classic show.

Thanks, Doc. Pink Floyd Animals Tour was my 2nd concert ever – MSG on July 4th. Amazing show for a teenager. This podcast brings back great memories.
Thanks Doctor, this with Boston Matrix is the bomb !
I’ve thought about remixing this show for years but now I know I need not bother. This is amazing. Thanks dude!
