Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones) - Live at Oakland

I love it and 1000th comment

Best concert of all time

This song has the best cowbell. I’m sorry BOC, but it’s true

Melted my face off.

I wish there was the actual picutres of the concert

My one and only time of seeing Pink Floyd was the summer of 77 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City . An amazing memory . Thank You for the memories

Thank you for this

Yes - was there both nights

Mr. Roger Waters in Brazil. Concert next tuesday!

seen this tour in LA, amazing

PF's heaviest perfomace.

Não sei como a guitarra aguenta, não quebra a corda

These were actual human beings playing that insanity of a song

Listening to this shit high is otherworldly. What a fucking performance. Jesus fucking christ.

Rick wright 🔥

I feel some tension between roger and David but it makes their playing more intense

It's a shame this version wasn't recorded with better equipment. This is just beautiful.

Oakland in 77, what a great time in time. Rock will never die!

Are you a big man or pig man?

Simplement extraordinaire, fantastique

Wish I could have seen this concert...just amazing.

How could Waters spoil all that?

Mi preferida de Pink Floyd, con Time. Las escucho todas las noches al acostarme

David hadn't fully learned the recorded version he was just improvising sections he forgot.

Could not agree more. Dark and heavy, this live version totally rocks. Need to get pf to remaster and release this

You radiate cold shafts of broken glass ...

I LOVE THIS FREAKING SONG...

Incredible masterpiece!

Always thought that building was a meat packing plant

How can one man be so perfect? (Talking about David)

Es buena esta version pero me quedo con la de Montreal

Roger Waters penned “Pigs (3 Different Ones)” (1977) about Mary Whitehouse, a British woman who led a movement to keep sex off TV. He felt Whitehouse had no right to decide what people should or shouldn’t watch.

Along with dogs and sheep, pigs are one of three animals appearing on the album. The pigs represent people, like Whitehouse, who believe they are the moral authorities. The sheep are the people who obey the pigs and are just innocent bystanders. And dogs are people who are back stabbers and against the pigs.

The LP cover shows a giant inflatable pig drifting above London power station. But during the shoot, the pig unfortunately broke free, where it caused chaos as it floated near Heathrow airport. It went up about 18,000 feet before coming down in a farm in Kent. They never got the shot, finally compositing two pictures for the cover.

Years later, Roger Waters used an inflatable pig when he performed at the 2008 Coachella festival, and this time the pig was emblazoned with the name “Obama,” as the English musician wanted to support the US Democratic presidential candidate. When the time came to play the number, the pig was released on cue, but broke free and floated away.

Another major problem… Mary Whitehouse was a household name in the UK in the 1970s. However, nobody in America had the slightest clue who she was. So what seemed like a great idea 💡 originally ended up being anything but‼️ Waters stated : “Everybody in the United States assumed it was an attack on the presidency, on Washington, on the White House❕ 💙🐷💚

I was only 13, & missed this show, but saw them (the David Gilmore version) at this same stadium, around 15 years later. If anything, Gilmore got better. Totally shredded it!

Just the right amount…of…cowbell.

The last two and a half minutes of this performance are the essence of Pink Floyd. Masters of the atmosphere, leading listeners from nirvana to chaos. Unrepeatable!

You know who killed Jesus...... pigs..... disgusting close minded pigs.

Why don't we have music this great anymore? What went wrong?

i wish the audio for this was better damn

17 minutes... wew

This gives me the chills...

Grande Floyd, esto es música.

Best music ever made

I love the tormented pig noise when the song cuts to the hard riffs towards the middle, super dope, sounds like outer space music when they combine shi like this

Is there any chance we will ever see any of these concerts from the 70s?

JRAD played this last Saturday in Atlanta. This was the BirdSong jam
LFG 🔥🔥🔥

I bought this album in'78,one of the first records I bought and I still love it as first time I heard it. Life is strange. Music is stranger.

Still great.
