It's a real joy to watch a young person discover music I have been listening to my whole life. Stick with us old guys. There is an ocean of fantastic music out there we can recommend. Enjoy the journey.
Pink Floyd is timeless... it's always amazing to watch young YT reactors that only listen to rap / hip-hop, and then someone convinces them to listen some Pink Floyd... and then, that reactor's whole world gets turned upside down when they realize what they have been missing. And, I don't just mean Pink Floyd, there are so many amazing classic rock bands out there that you will enjoy!
🔶Shine On You Crazy Diamond🔶 is a nine-part composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. It was first performed on Pink Floyd's 1974 French tour and appeared on their 1975 album Wish You Were Here. The song is a tribute to Barrett, who left the band in 1968 due to mental health issues.❤
In addition to this! While he had stopped showing up to some practices and was sometimes purposefully antagonistic to voice his desire to leave the band, the band claims to have unceremoniously "fired" him by deciding not to pick him up for practice one day, and never getting him again, leaving him to his own devices. When they were writing SoYcD a few years later, they genuinely had no clue what happened to him; until he showed up one day to their studio session bald, many pounds heavier, and mentally gone. They couldn't recognize him at first- their own former band leader. When they did, they wept.
Its fucking epic in concert. Saw Brit Floyd last year and they do the full light show and sound identical to Floyd. This song was hypnotizing in person
@@bradkirchhoff5703 I have seen Brit Floyd several times and every show was incredible!! They are so very close to seeing the real thing. I saw Pink Floyd several times as well and I was very pleasantly surprised by Brit Floyd!
This is my favorite album ever, equally as good as DSOTM. There’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing someone who likes this, experience it for the first time. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Sending good vibes ✌️
The last few notes of this album is Richard Wright playing a snippet of melody from “See Emily Play” which is a composition Syd Barrett wrote for the Floyd and put them on the musical map. It’s a sign of love for a friend that’s not there.
Another great reaction Bro - great to see folks experiencing PF for the first time and dropping down their rabbit hole. This album, Wish You Were Here, for me is their best. They were all at a loss as to what to come up with after the incredible success of Dark Side Of The Moon, and found it very difficult for quite a while, but were being pushed and bullied by the record label to produce something. So, it's mainly about the alienation and separation that they were feeling generally, and this extended back to Syd Barrett with their incredible bookend pieces of the album, Shine On You Crazy Diamond. They are Richard Wright's crown jewels (his synth work), and Nick Mason's drumming was so complimentary. Amazing tributes both musically and lyrically to Syd. Welcome To The Machine and Have A Cigar are both about the music industry's greed and use of the band's success for themselves. The album cover reflects this with a handshake deal being made by two men, one of them on fire, getting burnt. Enjoy the rest of the PF journey.
I fully concede that "Dark Side of the Moon" deserved every accolade it ever got as a true masterpiece... That being said, I still prefer this album. If I could explain why, I would. 🤷♂
Me too. Love them both, but love this one more. I think it's somehow more personal than DSOTM, less abstract and more immediate, if that makes any sense. I read somewhere that both David and Richard consider this their best work, and David felt the concept was more fully realized on Wish You Were Here than on DSOTM .
@christopherwinkler4451 that sounds right, yes. Another thing that might have influenced me, which has occurred to me since posting this, was the fact that it's got this mechanised sci-fi feel to it... I was already into sci-fi. 🤷♂️
@@christopherwinkler4451 Which is interesting since it was so much harder on the band to do this album than DSOTM. They started out uninspired, and casting about, and somehow ended up with another masterpiece. That said, if you asked me to choose between these two albums, I couldn't do it. These were the absolute pinnacle of the Pink Floyd arc.
When you think about it, many bands put albums together meant to be listened in full. A story, if you will. It how they were put together, and it’s what the fans expected. Rush 2112 comes to mind. Led Zeppelin also.
You´re on a perfect journey. It´s time to also watch them Live, because they were the biggest Liveband ever. Please watch "COMFORTABLY NUMB Live Pulse 1994" and also "ECHOES Live in Pompeii 1971/72" (btw: they´re in the hall of fame since 1996).
Dude you say it makes you want to pick up an instrument... DO IT!!! The best thing any musician can ever do is inspire. You got the passion! Let it shine!
You have now experienced PF enough to really appreciate seeing them live. You will be very happy watching almost anything from their 1994 "Pulse" concert. Comfortably Numb, Learning To Fly, Sorrow, High Hopes, Run Like Hell, and Coming Back to Life to start! Enjoy the trip!
You are one of the great reviewers that doesn’t pause too much, concentrates on thw music and appreciates what you’re hearing. Awesome to watch you do your reviews. Animals was an awesome review as well as Dark Side of the Moon. Great job!
Congratulations! You are no longer the person you were just a few days ago. You have been TRANSFORMED and will *_never_* be the same person you were just a few short days ago. Your experience of life will now always be larger
Hahaha you fell down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole!!! I have been a fan of them for 30 yrs!!! I’ve seen them live loads of times the light effects at the concerts is amazing!!! It’s good to see someone checking them out for the first time!!!! Enjoy Kezzy!!!!
Man, jamming this album (yes, real vinyl) with the Koss headphones blasting was a mind altering experience back then. I was 14 when this came out. It still brings all the same feelings. Truly timeless.😊
My mom gave up the living room. We were not allowed to play music in the house. Daddy bought us a pool table, and a big cased stereo. 5 or 6 kids, sitting around it, on the floor, and playing the albums….
Great reaction man. Now you simply MUST listen to Animals, then The Wall. Pink Floyd albums are like story telling, it's journey of emotions and your'e just along for the ride. Cheers.
Check out Meddle next. It's the album that introduced Floyd to me and made me a devoted follower of the band. Was fortunate to see the Dark Side, Animals and Division Bell (Pulse) tours live. Nothing like a Pink Floyd concert. No one can touch 'em when it comes to stage production. Cheers....
If you know the story of Syd, this album hits harder than DSOTM. All these guys lost their very good friend because of drugs, and their feelings come through in this album. Gilmour has said he thinks of Syd every time he plays Wish You Were Here.
@tacorocky2012 yes. The whole thing was so tragic. At least he was able to live a quiet, sheltered life and didn't die young of an overdose like some other musicians.
@@jillgro I wish I could’ve seen Syd’s lyrics evolve like everyone else did, he he low key had good lyrics in his song in my opinion I love Gnome and bike
It was mostly from acid, largely to a group of people who overdosed him repeatedly, but also pure mental illness from exposure to the industry, crowds and fame.
Did a Sensory Deprivation Tank back in the day. On your 3rd visit, they allowed you to pipe in music of your choice. I chose THIS album. I was sober when I dropped into the tank. I honestly felt like I had dropped a tab when I got out. Strong suggest you try it!
The second part of SOYCD is at the end of the album. The great Rick Wright (R.I.P.) on keys and synths. Ready for some Pink Floyd live? How about an early one: "Echoes" live at Pompeii, 1971; then a later one: "Comfortably Numb" live at Pulse, 1994. After that you could go on reacting to their albums.
PF is one of those bands that the music holds you for years. Then you start hearing the lyrics and understanding the depth. I hope you come back to these albums over the years.
The song "welcome to the machine" is an hommage to Syd Barrett. He was one of the pink floyd first member and composer. He led the band unique creativity on multiple songs and albums. Unfortunately his mental issues were to hard to manage for the band and he was replaced by David Gilmour.
They were some bad dudes bro Pink Floyd times catalogue is like a piece of furniture in the sky. Representing times ..places. and memories 💥⚡✨💫☄️🕳️ Wishing you check the 1967 to 1972 albums
Picking your favorite Floyd song is like picking a favorite food, it's too hard to pick one so it's about which you are in the mood for at that moment. I challenge you to a duel, your triangle vs my kazoo
You mentioned whoever does their music belongs in the Hall of Fame? THEY do their music! They compose, write the lyrics, co-produce and perform their own music. Dick Parry is the guest saxophonist on this and the 'Dark Side of the Moon' albums. As for the Hall of Fame, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. BTW, their live performances were off the charts. Consider taking a quick break and check out the live performance of the title track "Wish You Were Here" from the live 1994 Pulse concert video. Then get ready for the next masterpiece.. "Animals" 1977. Also, those are keyboards not horns. Richard Wright was a master of the keyboards/ synthesizer and set the mood for much of their best music. RIP🙏
Cool display this year at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Has a wall with several of the marionette characters, the airplane that crashed the stage during the Pulse tour.
It isn’t just songs. Pink Floyd builds whole soundscapes. That’s why they are hitting you different than what you’re used to. They reach inside your brain on a primal, emotional level.
@@KezzyBoiiI have to tell you about the artwork. You brought it up and you have to know that you are looking at the European front cover of the album. The American cover is a picture of the same two guys shaking hands, but the one on fire is not slouched over, but straight up. There are other artwork on the inner sleeve, and the back cover, and a post card that came inside it. All the other artwork is the same all around the world.
@@ianfortier6796very true and the only time i saw them do the whole album was in July 1975 at Knebworth in the uk before the album wish were here was even released in the September 1975
@johnroberthines7811 The whole album was performed as the second set each night of the In the Flesh tour in '77. Each night, they played Animals as whole (in a different order than what was on record), then played all of WYWH, with an encore of Money and Us And Them on almost every occasion. Late '75, WYWH, and Welcome To the Machine still weren't ready, so it was just Have A Cigar sandwiched between the two halves of SOYCD.
no other Band can compare with Pink Floydm they are the untouchable Masters of Music, Emotion and Experience. Only Cassic Musi from J.-S. Bach or L. v. Beethoven are on the same Level. Pink Floyd is the greatest Band of all time. Greetings from Germany
Whent down the pink floyd rabbit hole 2 years ago after hearing breathe in the air on the radio your in for a hell of a journey my friend keep them coming
45:00 They write the music themself. That’s what bands do. David Gilmour: Guitar, sometimes bass and lead singer. Comes up with most music Roger Waters: Bass, lead singer and comes up with most lyrics and themes. Rick Wright: Keys and singer Nick Mason: Drumms
this is pretty accurate but you’re selling Richard Wright a little short, no disrespect. the same way he and David traded vocals, they also traded coming up with the melodies to the songs and then the other would riff on top of that. to say he did the keyboard and piano parts is pretty accurate (to a point, until it got weird in the late 70’s), to say he *just* did the keyboards and sang undervalues his contributions to the band and their output. Nick Mason did pretty much just play drums tho, and he was damn good at that
Wish You Were Here, Welcome to the Machine are both all time greats. Wish You Were Here is my pick but I couldn't hold it against anybody for having Welcome to the Machine as their favorite. It woke me up to realizing that almost everything we are is programmed into us and that we can reprogram ourselves. Have A Cigar is a personal favorite of mine. Feels cool, smooth and maybe even a bit funky near the end, my favorite transition ever. Shine On You Crazy Diamond are beautiful pieces dedicated to Pink Floyd's mad founder ( Syd Barret ) but can also serves as the listener's own personal epitaph for the things we've poured our heart and souls into and dedicated ourselves to completely that have caused us to be isolated and distanced from those around us. Made especially poignant given Barret's story being one of schizophrenia that ended up having to depart from the band he had helped to form despite the early albums he'd made with the band serving as inspiration in the 60's for Floyd's later 70's output. I do like Wish You Were Here a little more than Dark Side but Time, Great Gig In The Sky, Money and Us and Them was probably one of the biggest spiritual awakening of a mass population in the 20th century.
They are both good. I too love the dirty muddy mix, but there are aspects of the newer one that slaughter the old mix. Either way you can't go wrong.@@ianfortier6796
A four member band who writes their own SH&T!!! I know Youngblood. Today is different, I know. It’s cool bro, you’re there now. THERE’S NO GOING BACK!!!
Thanks for letting us on your journey experiencing this for the first time. You can never go back and hear it again that same and I enjoy you having the same amazement as I did.
After you get to The Wall, don’t skip The Final Cut. Some floydians don’t like it, more of a Roger Waters album, but to be fair so was The Wall. And it is thematically a follow up. It’s got some pretty moving songs and Dave’s phoned in guitar work is phenomenal. Great reaction. Subscribing for more. 🤛😎👍 🔥🌳🌬️💨
My very good friend who I used to play wish you were here with and taught me so much about music and friendship passed away a few years ago. Every time I listen to it, I miss him. Here is another one for you Darryl!
PINK FLOYD albums that you should hear as a whole are THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, WISH YOU WERE HERE, MORE, ATOM HEART MOTHER, MEDDLE, ANIMALES and THE WALL
I would add Obscured By Clouds, The Final Cut, and The Division Bell to the essential full album list, but really all the albums should be listened to in full.
Appreciate this. Noone is compared to Pink Floyd in my book. Just saw David Gilmour (singer/guitarist) last saturday at MSG. Greatest show! Great reaction to this album. It was a nice dedication to Syd that they did for this album. Yes, all sounds you hear besides the sax are done on keyboards by Rick. Haha hall of fame you say? Yup they are in the rock and roll HOF. Perfect band. Outstanding guitar work, killer baselines, funky drums and trippy keyboards along with lyrics that actually tell a story. Welcome fellow Floydian ❤️
You are officially a fan! I am 43 and saw David Gilmour on 11/9/24 in NYC and Roger Waters 8/5/22 in Philadelphia. Ive been a lifelong fan, seeing them was a dream come true.
It is always a pleasure to sit down and listen to this album with someone who appreciates good music. I was a teenager in England when this came out and a group of us would go back to somebody's place after the pub and skin up joints and share the experience and each other's company. I heard you say you loved instruments in your previous reaction to Pink Floyd - may I suggest the group "YES" from the same time period, starting with "The YES Album", considered one of the legends of prog rock.
dec 18th - just caught your vid’s - loved their music since i was in my teens - i’m in my 60’s now. You have got to watch some of their videos too / amazing. !
I think that a lot of PF fans are very happy to see you hooked. PF were like "musical shamans", food for the mind, revealing experiences WHILE not bein mystic or religious, which is a great performance. I bet they changed many people lives, for the best.
Well before CGI, Photoshop, etc. Dude is straight up on fire, wearing nomex fireproof clothes under that suit, fire resistant gels and hoping to GOD they hit him with fire extinguishers before it all goes to shit. 50 takes. Dude was lit on fire 50 times to get that one picture. Insanity.
🤯love it. long time listener of this band. I dig your response(s), Dark Side of the Moon is definitely a favorite of mine. BUt it's hard to pick an absolute favorite. Animals, The Wall, Wish You Were Here, all great albums. Fun channel. ☮
A long time ago my sister bought our very first stereo record player along with an early Queen album. The first time I heard stereo through headphones was a revelation. I rushed out and bought me the first stereo album I could get my hands on. I bought Relics because I liked the album cover. So took it home, donned headphones, and boy was i hooked there and then. Been riding Floyd ever since and nothing has surpassed them. I am 71 now and still hooked ......
I love watching your resctions to PF. They have privided the soundtrack to my life. I am a techno DJ and adore electronic music, but i alesys return to Floyd, in good times and bad. There's nothing like them for moving me to tesrs of joy. If you havent heard it yet, treat yourself to their album Meddle...
I heard wish you were here album live in July 1975 Knebworth uk, all new to us Floyd fans as the Album hadn't even been released, that wasn't until September 1975.
You don't need lyrics, or even singing, when David Gilmour is your guitarist. He makes the guitar sing and conveys more emotion than many singers or song writers can. Oh, and he's a pretty good singer too, and does the vocals on most of the songs.
MDDEL, ANIMAL, WHISH YOU WERE HERE, THE WALL, MOMENTARY LAPES OF REASON, ALL OF THOSE REACTION ARE OUT SUB FOR MORE
Hello is french juste pour te dire que la photo des couvertures de pink Floyd ne sont réels aucuns trucage le type en flamme est un cascadeur
It's a real joy to watch a young person discover music I have been listening to my whole life. Stick with us old guys. There is an ocean of fantastic music out there we can recommend. Enjoy the journey.
Not trumpets, synthesizer. The keys do a lot of the heavy lifting on this album. RIP Richard.
And the glass harp. That's that eerie, hard to pin down instrument in part I.
eTrumpets
I play a lot of PF. When Richard Wright died, I played Great Gig in the Sky and went throughout it.
Wept
Richard Wright..... No words can explain his Keyboard playing....... RIP.... Very sad, A Master of him Art!
Pink Floyd is timeless... it's always amazing to watch young YT reactors that only listen to rap / hip-hop, and then someone convinces them to listen some Pink Floyd... and then, that reactor's whole world gets turned upside down when they realize what they have been missing. And, I don't just mean Pink Floyd, there are so many amazing classic rock bands out there that you will enjoy!
I see the Allman Brothers and Edgar Winters do that.
ALL RECORDED ON TAPE REEL TO REEL, OLD SCHOOL RECORDING BACK IN THE DAY, BLOODY BRILLIANT MUSICIANS, FANTASTIC.
Comfortably numb from pulse concert live will blow you away!
Yes need to do this! Best solo you will ever hear
Definitely, and perhaps other tracks performed at Pulse 1994 too.
YES! The entire Pulse Concert.
Only after the studio albums. Pulse has that nice solo, but the shit isn't in the same galaxy as the recorded masterpieces. Period.
Iconic guitar solo😊!

“I feel like the music is speaking words” You totally get it!!

Every note Gilmour plays is poetry in musical form. Every note has a meaning and he doesn't do anything extra.
This is my favorite album ever, equally as good as DSOTM. There’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing someone who likes this, experience it for the first time. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Sending good vibes ✌️
I agree!! I’m watching Kezzy listen for the first time and I love it!!!
Same Same Same😊💯
I literally just wrote the same message. It is soooo great to see a young person experience Pink Floyd for the first time.
#same!
Appreciate all of you 💪🏾💪🏾🔥
“The Machine” and “Have a cigar” are both about the music industry when you make it big
You know when you stumble upon a RUclipsr and have the need to watch all his videos? That’s how I feel about this guy!
Soon you will be ready for their 23 minute long track Echoes, the studio version.
Do Echoes Live at Pompeii!
Studio first & then live
Echoes is a truly a journey by itself
Echoes last time played " Dave Gilmour live at Gdansk" **************************
My favorite!
Real musicians playing real instruments.
🔥🔥 I loved it
No triangles though.

What is a real instrument ? One built by a true Scotsman ?

Yeah you're in the rabbit hole now my man! Loving the reaction remember Animals next!
They always had kick ass light shows that went perfect with their music!! So Epic!!
They should, they literally invented the live concert light show.

I just have to say that EVERYONE has the potential to be a Pink Floyd fan. …All you have to do is listen to them, and you’ll become a fan.

Like so many Pink Floyd albums, there are references, tributes and homage to Syd Barrett. (RIP Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett 1946-2006)
Syd Barrett was a pioneer in his own right......I completely understand why Roger waters missed working with him. And wrote so many songs about him

One does not simply take one song from the Wish You Were Here album and walk into Mordor…
Pink Floyd is Wonderful!
Facts 🔥🔥
@@KezzyBoiiI have to tell you about the artwork. You brought it up and you have to know that you are looking at the European front cover of the album. The American cover is a picture of the same two guys shaking hands, but the one on fire is not slouched over, but straight up.
There are other artwork on the inner sleeve, and the back cover, and a post card that came inside it. All the other artwork is the same all around the world.
You need to see it at pulse concert. They do the whole album and some you haven't heard yet. Its freaking fire!
From this album, they only do Wish You Were Here and part of SOYCD on the PULSE record.
100% it’s a great album! Delicate Sound of Thunder is another amazing live album of Pink Floyd.
Yes! Totally agree, also live in Gdańsk , their concerts brilliant
@@ianfortier6796very true and the only time i saw them do the whole album was in July 1975 at Knebworth in the uk before the album wish were here was even released in the September 1975
@johnroberthines7811 The whole album was performed as the second set each night of the In the Flesh tour in '77. Each night, they played Animals as whole (in a different order than what was on record), then played all of WYWH, with an encore of Money and Us And Them on almost every occasion. Late '75, WYWH, and Welcome To the Machine still weren't ready, so it was just Have A Cigar sandwiched between the two halves of SOYCD.
no other Band can compare with Pink Floydm they are the untouchable Masters of Music, Emotion and Experience. Only Cassic Musi from J.-S. Bach or L. v. Beethoven are on the same Level. Pink Floyd is the greatest Band of all time. Greetings from Germany
Greetings from México, More of Pink Floyd please! New suscriber bro ♥️👌🏻
Thanks for the love bro 💪🏾💪🏾🔥
Whent down the pink floyd rabbit hole 2 years ago after hearing breathe in the air on the radio your in for a hell of a journey my friend keep them coming
45:00 They write the music themself. That’s what bands do.
David Gilmour: Guitar, sometimes bass and lead singer. Comes up with most music
Roger Waters: Bass, lead singer and comes up with most lyrics and themes.
Rick Wright: Keys and singer
Nick Mason: Drumms
this is pretty accurate but you’re selling Richard Wright a little short, no disrespect. the same way he and David traded vocals, they also traded coming up with the melodies to the songs and then the other would riff on top of that. to say he did the keyboard and piano parts is pretty accurate (to a point, until it got weird in the late 70’s), to say he *just* did the keyboards and sang undervalues his contributions to the band and their output. Nick Mason did pretty much just play drums tho, and he was damn good at that
I haven't heard this I a while. I forgot how amazing it is and hearing it again while I'm watching you hear it for the first time is sublime!
Glad you joined us
Wish You Were Here, Welcome to the Machine are both all time greats. Wish You Were Here is my pick but I couldn't hold it against anybody for having Welcome to the Machine as their favorite. It woke me up to realizing that almost everything we are is programmed into us and that we can reprogram ourselves.
Have A Cigar is a personal favorite of mine. Feels cool, smooth and maybe even a bit funky near the end, my favorite transition ever.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond are beautiful pieces dedicated to Pink Floyd's mad founder ( Syd Barret ) but can also serves as the listener's own personal epitaph for the things we've poured our heart and souls into and dedicated ourselves to completely that have caused us to be isolated and distanced from those around us. Made especially poignant given Barret's story being one of schizophrenia that ended up having to depart from the band he had helped to form despite the early albums he'd made with the band serving as inspiration in the 60's for Floyd's later 70's output.
I do like Wish You Were Here a little more than Dark Side but Time, Great Gig In The Sky, Money and Us and Them was probably one of the biggest spiritual awakening of a mass population in the 20th century.
Animals (2018 Remix) NEXT. IT'S ANOTHER FLOYD MASTERPIECE.
It may be because I've been listening to it for so long, but I think I prefer the original mix of Animals.
@@ianfortier6796I’ve listend to both alot but I prefer the original to.
They are both good. I too love the dirty muddy mix, but there are aspects of the newer one that slaughter the old mix. Either way you can't go wrong.@@ianfortier6796
@@ianfortier6796 same I like the original better as well
@@ianfortier6796Yup, I hate remixes. I want to hear it as it was produced. Any music.
A four member band who writes their own SH&T!!! I know Youngblood. Today is different, I know. It’s cool bro, you’re there now. THERE’S NO GOING BACK!!!
😂😂😂 idk if I should feel sad or happy about this
@ happy bro happy
Try "High Hopes" from their Pulse concert. Watch them live.
Second that!
Thanks for letting us on your journey experiencing this for the first time. You can never go back and hear it again that same and I enjoy you having the same amazement as I did.
You said it best near the end. Pink Floyd isn’t just music, it’s an experience.
After you get to The Wall, don’t skip The Final Cut. Some floydians don’t like it, more of a Roger Waters album, but to be fair so was The Wall. And it is thematically a follow up. It’s got some pretty moving songs and Dave’s phoned in guitar work is phenomenal.
Great reaction. Subscribing for more.
🤛😎👍
🔥🌳🌬️💨
this album is basically a tribute to Syd Barrett.
No question that u are now a floyd fan . So unique and pioneers.
My very good friend who I used to play wish you were here with and taught me so much about music and friendship passed away a few years ago. Every time I listen to it, I miss him. Here is another one for you Darryl!
PINK FLOYD albums that you should hear as a whole are THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, WISH YOU WERE HERE, MORE, ATOM HEART MOTHER, MEDDLE, ANIMALES and THE WALL
I would add The Final Cut, The Division Bell, and Obscured By Clouds to the complete album list.
I would add Obscured By Clouds, The Final Cut, and The Division Bell to the essential full album list, but really all the albums should be listened to in full.
I agree with both of you!!!!😂
And Ummagumma..
Wish you were here is one of only a handful of songs that can make me cry !
Another gem from the Floyd.
14 April 1994 Division bell tour @ Jack Murphy stadium had GA tickets was a sold out show, They had a huge disco ball that lit up the whole stadium.
Another great album from a legendary band , great reaction vid and so glad you are enjoying Pink Floyd .
This turns 50 yrs old soon. Just as good now as it was new. Remember when you were young?
Ssssßshsshshhhhh just let it play,kick back,relax,light a fat one and enjoy ❤❤❤
Appreciate this. Noone is compared to Pink Floyd in my book. Just saw David Gilmour (singer/guitarist) last saturday at MSG. Greatest show! Great reaction to this album. It was a nice dedication to Syd that they did for this album. Yes, all sounds you hear besides the sax are done on keyboards by Rick. Haha hall of fame you say? Yup they are in the rock and roll HOF.
Perfect band. Outstanding guitar work, killer baselines, funky drums and trippy keyboards along with lyrics that actually tell a story.
Welcome fellow Floydian ❤️
Watching you is hilarious! Welcome to The Machine that is Pink Floyd
Best album ever. welcome to the machine is something else.
You are officially a fan! I am 43 and saw David Gilmour on 11/9/24 in NYC and Roger Waters 8/5/22 in Philadelphia. Ive been a lifelong fan, seeing them was a dream come true.
It is always a pleasure to sit down and listen to this album with someone who appreciates good music. I was a teenager in England when this came out and a group of us would go back to somebody's place after the pub and skin up joints and share the experience and each other's company. I heard you say you loved instruments in your previous reaction to Pink Floyd - may I suggest the group "YES" from the same time period, starting with "The YES Album", considered one of the legends of prog rock.
Each album is different and unique. Enjoy each one without comparing
This album was done in one take, and the guy on the album cover is on fire.
yes, keep them all in the rotation... these albums need to be listened to over and over.
dec 18th - just caught your vid’s - loved their music since i was in my teens - i’m in my 60’s now. You have got to watch some of their videos too / amazing. !
I think that a lot of PF fans are very happy to see you hooked.
PF were like "musical shamans", food for the mind, revealing experiences WHILE not bein mystic or religious, which is a great performance. I bet they changed many people lives, for the best.
Kezzy love your reaction you get it no doubt nobody needs drugs to enjoy floyd just sit back and let wash over you their music is my drug fabulous
This is my personal favorite Floyd album.....SO, SO FREAKIN' GOOD!!! THANKS for this one!!!!
The best Pink Floyd song ever, Shine on you Crazy Diamond.
This speaks about life in this masterpiece
One of my personal favorite albums. I hope you enjoyed. Welcome to the machine, talking about raising your kid to be in the world.
THEY ARE THE 8th WONDER of THE WORLD !!!!!
GREAT ! KEEP UP THE FLOYD! YOU DO THY REACTION AWSOME.ANIMALS. STAY ON THAT PATH, IF YOU WISH. 40 YEARS + AGO
Lol lmao. You said " whoever writes their music"
You are precious and so innocent
The cover art for the album is two business men shaking hands on a deal, and one of them is getting burned.
They did 50 takes a used a stuntman!
Well before CGI, Photoshop, etc. Dude is straight up on fire, wearing nomex fireproof clothes under that suit, fire resistant gels and hoping to GOD they hit him with fire extinguishers before it all goes to shit. 50 takes. Dude was lit on fire 50 times to get that one picture. Insanity.
It’s fire can’t lie 🔥🔥
🤯love it. long time listener of this band. I dig your response(s), Dark Side of the Moon is definitely a favorite of mine. BUt it's hard to pick an absolute favorite. Animals, The Wall, Wish You Were Here, all great albums. Fun channel. ☮
A long time ago my sister bought our very first stereo record player along with an early Queen album.
The first time I heard stereo through headphones was a revelation. I rushed out and bought me the first stereo album I could get my hands on. I bought Relics because I liked the album cover. So took it home, donned headphones, and boy was i hooked there and then. Been riding Floyd ever since and nothing has surpassed them. I am 71 now and still hooked ......
I love watching your resctions to PF. They have privided the soundtrack to my life.
I am a techno DJ and adore electronic music, but i alesys return to Floyd, in good times and bad. There's nothing like them for moving me to tesrs of joy.
If you havent heard it yet, treat yourself to their album Meddle...
I heard wish you were here album live in July 1975 Knebworth uk, all new to us Floyd fans as the Album hadn't even been released, that wasn't until September 1975.
The peak of musical prowess from four geniuses
Welcome to the Pink Floyd machine😄
You don't need lyrics, or even singing, when David Gilmour is your guitarist. He makes the guitar sing and conveys more emotion than many singers or song writers can. Oh, and he's a pretty good singer too, and does the vocals on most of the songs.
