'Pavillon De Pigs' - 22nd February 1977 - Paris, France


Sound Quality: A+
Performance: A
Overall: 5/5

Simply fantatic bootleg this one, the crowd are too rowdy but main quiet during the music (see breakdown for a few infractions) and it doesn't spoil the show. The recording is incredibly good, constant volume throughout, no issues at all and what a performance, the guys were on fire that night, the 'A' grade was tough, it could have been an 'A+' in a lot of peoples mind but it wasn't perfect and the crowd were a little too much for my liking.

Highlights, for me, were 'Pigs (Three Different Ones)' and the second half od 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' both were well amazing and filled with improvisation and swagger.

Track breakdown…

Sheep; sweet, nice extra keyboard piece at the end

Pigs (Three Different Ones): Amazing

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 1-5): Crowd really annoy me here, chatter thru the intro section, not just the build up, very

disrespectful. About 11 minutes in there is a little tone that goes off which is odd, its kinda like a cell phone goes off near the

recorder, but this is 1977!

Welcome To The machine: This song makes people want to clap (well the beginning anyway), I know, I understand and luckily here it dies

down pretty quick. Great version, good work on keyboards.

Have A Cigar: One of my favorites played really well, nice and funky.

Wish You Were Here: The introduction has some electric guitar on it which is really nice and different.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts 6-9): The really funky section is super cool. Fantastic track.

Intermission: skip it, just the crowd getting rowdy

Money: Nice solo, good work all round

Find it. Get it, Like it.
