Pink Floyd 1977-05-09 Oakland Coliseum Oakland, CA Animal Instincts rev B (HRV-CDR-014)

 

Oh, the storied history of Animal Instincts...

Ron Toon released AI (rev0) to the world sometime
during the last millennia.  Long before Harvested
had a QA department.

It was my discussions with Ron concerning the clicks,
pops, and other glitches in AI (rev0) that led to
my joining the team.

One of my earliest contributions was to deglitch
AI and the first rev A edition was released.

As the years went by, a much lower generation source
for this show emerged.  My first knowledge of its
existance was the RoIO Mr Pig.  Although the SQ on
Mr Pig was better than AI (you can hear many subtleties
not detectable on AI revA), Mr Pig had other problems,
like clipping, gaps during the tape flips, unbalanced,
etc.  So the thoughts of doing a rev B began.

That was two years ago...

About six months ago, we decided to do it.  We got
another source, a better source than Mr Pig.  One that
didn't have the clipping problem.  Then Marc-Olivier
went to work.

Marc-Oliver spent quite sometime remastering this new
source and expertly patching the tape flips.  Then it
was my turn.

I recently finished doing the deglitching and sent a copy
to Richard to start the weed.

So here it is!  Animal Instincts rev B (HRV-CDR-014)
Pink Floyd recorded live at the Oakland Coliseum
May 9, 1977.

Disc One:
Sheep
Pigs On The Wing (part 1)
Dogs
Pigs On The Wing (part 2)
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 1-5)
Welcome To The Machine

Disc Two:
Have A Cigar
Wish You Were Here
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 6-9)
Money
Us And Them
Careful With That Axe, Eugene


For me, the highlight of this show is SoYCD6-9.
It's the best version of this song ever.

For those of you that already own a copy of AI,
you know that a bonus track is included at the
end of disc two.  This being the studio version
of Pigs on the Wing with Snowy White prviding
a bridge between the two parts.  AI rev0 and revA
simple included a copy of this song as it was
released on Snowy White's Goldtop CD.  Well...

We've changed this too for AI revB.  Now you have
the original version (the Pink Floyd mix) as it
appeared on the original 8-track tapes, transferred
to digital direct from an original 8-track tape.
This version is different than the Goldtop version
(the Snowy mix).

Enjoy!  Harvested is proud to once again provide
the definitive edition of this classic performance.
