Pink Floyd Animals in 5.1 Speculation, Now Pricing & Shipping thread starting Page 248

Perhaps we could move the Venice discussion to the Later Years thread and keep this one for Animals (and the lack of release news).

 

There will be also a live album on animals box set. Aubrey Powell confirmed, on the interview about LA Pink Floyd :Their Mortal Remains! Yeahhhh
The questions now are :which show will be? all songs performed on the show will be on the album?
'Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains' Exhibition Brings Artifacts to U.S. - Variety

 

This is the most definitive statement about a live Animals release. I wonder whether it will be a complete show or just the Animals portion.

 

Yeah, I agree! When they release the live album on Dark Side of the Moon Experience, only the Dark Side set list was on the album, and Wish you Were Here had Shine on and Raving and Drooling and You gotta be Crazy. Altought if they do that, welcome to the machine, have a Cigar and wish you were performed live by Pink Floyd will never be released! Let's hope that Animals and Wish you Were Here sets will be released at least!

 

Perhaps this is why there has been no formal announcement of a release this year (aside from Water's blast earlier in the summer). Maybe they a) finally came up with a decent set of professionally recorded tapes or b) went the bootleg audio enrichment route. Either way, good news. As long as they include "Sheep" that is. Animals isn't the same without it and I've always considered Gilmour's stun guitar soloing at the end of that song his response to the burgeoning punk rock movement (a f#ck you to Johnny Rotten and his I Hate Pink Floyd t-shirt). And maybe, to repeat a previous comment I've made on this thread, the '75 studio demos of "you've Got to Be Crazy" and "raving and Drollin" along with an explanation of the rationale of building a separate album around those two discarded tracks.

 

Just you wait — it's gonna be PULSE

Nah seriously though, all is forgiven if we get a legit release from the '77 tour, even in part

 

This is the most interesting piece of information in the entire 184 pages to date (only took 3 years lol) - glad to hear it

 

I inherited (or more like just permanently borrowed) that cassette from my older brother in the mid-80's. It wasn't until years later when I got the CD that I heard it as meant to be. What a weird decision, but I guess it had to be done that way.

 

If a live recording is part of the release, that would be very nice. That said, I'll wait for more concrete information before getting too excited for it. There could be a misunderstanding on his part or some kind of mix-up. I hope I'm wrong.

 

Live animals from the 77'/78' tour would be too good to be true. MUST ... NOT ... GET ... HOPES ... UP ...........

 

If my memory does not change me, then this article refers to Aubrey's rather old interview, he is at least two years old.

There may be others, however they generally haven't observed anniversaries that much in recent years.
N
With the 50's coming up with Meddle on 5 November, there is no sign this will be marked either.

It would be nice if Animals is released on (or before) the 45th Anniversary on Friday 21 January 2022.

BTW I think Powell may be referring to a standalone release of the Pulse BluRay/DVD from The Later Years.

Note: 26 September is the 10th Anniversary of the Discovery box set (plus TDSOTM Experience & Immersion Editions) and 7 November WYWH Experience & Immersion.

 

Exactly. It may not be live Animals.

 

It would be great if it was, however...

 

Absolutely. Could be seismic -- if they pull it off. Big if.

 

While I'm hoping this is true I think Po got things confused. He didn't even mention the multichannel mix.

 

This is the most likely scenario. Just random words from someone who doesn't quite grock the impact of the potential meaning of the statement if the statement is parsed word by word. MUST ... NOT ... GET ... HOPES ... UP ... grr damn

 

After settling the liner notes issue perhaps the producers decide to expand this release after all? That would certainly explain delaying any official announcement of it being released.

Probably not.

 

They used standard definition television to get that made, RAI Italy's outside broadcast unit. I remember watching it as a live event via Eurovision on Irish tv. I video recorded it at the time.

 

Sounds like the gory aftermath of an illegal pit bull fight.

 

Powell sounds quite specific about the live album in the article linked above: 'Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains' Exhibition Brings Artifacts to U.S. - Variety

“I’ve reshot the ‘Animals’ cover, which was the pig over the power station,” says Powell. “So although it’s not been released yet, we thought, well, okay, let’s put the new cover up there. They’re building blocks of flats there, and I wanted to get this picture before the power station was surrounded completely — which it is now – by apartments to the point you can barely see it, and do something with it. Consequently there’s a re-release of the new album, a version with a remix and a live album, coming out next year, and this is going to be the album cover. So there’s a history here going from way back when they started right up to the present day.”

 

Yeah, I agree with you, basically Aubrey Powell is in charge on working on the new releases of the band, he knows better than anyone else...

 

The online war continues: official PF facebook took the time to wish Roger happy birthday with a blurry photo of Roger from one of his drunk videos...

 

Not a very flattering photo, but at least someone in the Floyd camp is thinking of him.
Happy Birthday, Rog!

 

Gold!!
