Pink Floyd: Azimuth Coordinator Discs 3&4 (Montreal 1977-07-06) shn

Montreal 77 is another winner! I don't care what anyone in the band says, this is a great show! It's worth it just to hear Roger yell "For f#ck's sake!!!!" in the middle of Pigs On The Wing pt.2, but then on top of it, the band really tears it up and plays a fantastic show. Particular highlights include Pigs (3 Different Ones) and Shine On pt.9 (love the guitar and piano candenza at the end before the rest of the band rejoins).
Re: Drift Away Blues Some say the song wasn't played at this gig but there is another possibility: The story that circulates is that Dave didn't want to come back onstage, so Snowy White was left as the solo guitarist onstage for this blues jam. On Drift Away Blues, the guitarist is definitely playing a Strat, you can hear it not only in the guitar tone, but also in the use of the tremelo arm (good Les Pauls don't have trem arms, and neither do the Carvin or Yamaha guitars I've seen Snowy playing). I do have a possible theory: Maybe, Snowy, not wanting people to realize that he wasn't Dave, strapped on one of Dave's Strats, and tried to play in a fashion that would sound like Dave, and that's what we are hearing here. Now, we know that the Montreal show had a lot to do with inspiring certain things that came to fruition in The Wall, so maybe this is one of them. Anyway, it's a great jam, regardless of what show or when it came from.
