Pink Floyd’s “Pigs on the Wing (8-Track Version)” is a unique variation of the opening and closing songs from the band’s classic album Animals.
Unlike the standard album version, the 8-track release combines Parts 1 and 2 with an extended guitar solo performed by Snowy White inserted between them.
This additional section creates a longer, more cohesive piece while preserving the song’s warm and personal message amid the album’s darker social commentary.
Featuring gentle acoustic guitar, intimate vocals from Roger Waters, and the distinctive added solo, “Pigs on the Wing (8-Track Version)” remains a favorite among Pink Floyd enthusiasts for its rarity and unique place in the band’s catalog.
