PINK FLOYD - Live In Oakland 1977 (2CD) - EU Supernaut Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

A rare, limited, double CD containing the legendary show, lasting over 140 minutes, from Oakland, from 9 May 1977 - without doubt the best-sounding concert of the tour promoting "Animals". As on the previous tour ("Wish You Were Here" from 1975), nobody connected with Pink Floyd professionally recorded any concert at the time. And again a few shows were recorded, by some miracle, 'unawares' from the audience, and the Oakland concert is simply exceptional! The musical content is also simply overwhelming! The whole of "Wish You Were Here" (heavily extended, including the second part of the suite "Shine On" lasting over 20 minutes!), the whole of "Animals" (also altered/extended compared with the studio version) + two fragments from "Dark Side" and the last known live version of "Careful With That Axe Eugene"! So, as with Los Angeles 1975 or Montreux 1970, the concert, recorded among the audience on 'almost' professional equipment, sounds better than the vast majority of official mixing desk recordings. Nothing better on the subject of rare Pink Floyd from 1977 simply exists. In addition, nice artwork. This CD sounds about 10% better than the YouTube material attached. A must for fans of good playing! (JL)
