Being an old fart I grew up listening to Floyd. I picked up my kids phone one day and looked at the play list on his phone and he had a ton of Floyd downloaded. I knew at that point I was a successful parent.
I know what you mean. One morning in the teens of the 2000's I heard "Brandy" from Looking Glass blasting from my kids bathroom while he was showering. I knew then and there I'd gave him a great sense in music.
Yep, my two are big Floyd fans. We are going to see Roger in a few weeks. My guidance payed off a treat lol.
My boys are 18 an 15 an I have taken them to Brit Floyd an Australian Floyd 9 times because since they have been little loved Floyd they look so forward to going with me to shows it is the best feeling in the world going with them
Kris Harmon: Well done!
My daughter once said to me that her favourite song is "Wish You Were Here". That was the second best day of my life. The best was the day she was born
One of the most perfect set of lyrics for the subject of the song. They are written by Roger Waters about his childhood friend and band co-founder Syd Barrett, who literally lost his lucid mind after an LSD overload. The lyrics lament the loss of his friend while calling him back to music and lucidity, and are packed with references that are perfectly suited to that specific situation, with puns on early albums and lyrics. There is nothing selfish or ulterior or them-- a pure expression of friendship, affection and loss.
That is beautiful thank you
The acid was just the starter for his schizophrenia@@Mary-had-a-lil-farm
@@biffmifflin1829 such a sad story. I love these videos and songs I’ve listen to for so much of my life and I love all the information you can find in the comments it’s very interesting and brings a new perspective or understanding to the songs that we grew up with and love.
You tell it like it is. Shine you crazy diamond.
Sad thing was that Syd actually showed up while they were recording it...and nobody recognized him for a long time. If memory serves me, correctly, after they figured out it was him, Roger asked what he thought of the music...and Syd said, "It sounds old." ...and that was the last time they ever saw him.
Pink Floyd is not just music, it’s an experience, an emotional roller coaster.
Love Love Love. Food for the SOUL Xxx RESPECT
We played this at my beautiful daughter’s funeral she was our crazy diamond may she too shine on.
A beautiful post.
So sorry for your loss!🙏🏼😞
"Comfortably Numb" is an absolute must from this concert. It's legendary
Hear hear,
Cannot agree hard enough
He's already done it
Just posted the same thing
not easy to tell, I can never jump over a song with pink floyd, all is perfect, from Dark Side of the moon
When it comes to David Gilmour, less is definitely more. No flash or guitar shredding from this guy, just pure heart and soul.
Shredding is really the term for a guitar virtuoso, but it got somehow got corrupted to mean playing lots of notes or chord sequences fast !
Amen
One of the very few who are instantly recognisable he plays a couple of notes and you just know. Carlos Santana is another like that.
@@DavidWatkinsDave-pz7gv and Tash Sultana's guitar
@@DavidWatkinsDave-pz7gv Add Mark Knopfler to that. They way they both emote, would love to hear them play together. And that's what it really is, emoting, making the strings project feeling, not "shredding".
I'm 73 and still listen to them all the time.
Stick with what works
66: same here
They played this at my brothers funeral, he died at 33 years old, even now i have tears in my eye, shine on bro.
sorry for you loss
❤
Gilmore is simply the greatest story teller on guitar. He'll sweep you away and let his amazing fingers do the singing. A true master. The greatest guitarist in history.
Guitars wish for David Guilmore for Christmas :D
Gilmour
Sorry, Gilmour's great but SRV is still the GOAT.
When you're that good, it's difficult to decide. Gilmour is definitely in my top five ever, along with Stevie Ray and Santana, and a couple slightly murky others, maybe Allman or Clapton (or several others).
I'm in total agreement. My choices as well.
Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are two of the best albums of all time. Music that almost any generation can appreciate.
Absolute classics
You are so right about no one does this anymore. Pink Floyd will be played forever, they have been in my life for over 50 yrs, they will be played at my funeral.. or I’m not coming , genius, PF take you on a journey like no other band ❤️
Proud of you. You figured the base meaning to this song by actually listening and taking the journey. Every Floyd song is a trip, a journey with deep, real meaning behind it. 👍
Sid reached for enlightenment too soon, too fast and too hard
@@robertkilmartin350 ...And his wings melted.
When he said "It's a sad song" proper choked me, like yes mate, yes it is. SoYcD ;)
Lamenting the loss of Syd Barrett from the band because he blew his mind on drugs. You nailed it pretty well. The entire album was dedicated to Syd and named "Wish You Were Here".
I still don’t think that was the root problem. If Syd had been in a good place, I believe he wouldn’t have fallen off the cliff. We’ll never know now, sadly.
Not on drugs. Not directly at least. He suffered schizophrenia.
His use of LSD only came about after his drink had been spiked with LSD following that and compounded by his Schizophrenia he became increasingly unstable often standing on stage not playing a note, the band felt they needed someone to help support Syd to pick up the guitar when he flaked out it was Syd who recommended his friend David Gilmour and for a short while they were both in the band together. But Syd's behaviour became so bad that Roger Waters sacked Syd from the band and replaced him full time with Dave. Syd's mental health was so bad that following his removal from the band he walked from London to his family home in Cambridge a distance of around 60 miles. Although he had been removed from the band David Gilmour insisted Syd still received royalties as if he was still part of the band.
Absolutely All for Syd Barrett, the Original Leader of P.F. There's a good chance he had undiagnosed Asperger's. I am friends, with his former friends & Family. One of the saddest stories in Rock history. Richard still cried when interviewed in early 2000's. Syd named the Band, wrote music, sang lead, lead guitar, fashionista, Artist. They grew up together, they missed him so much.😔🎸 He referred to things he liked as "Diamond" He hated the music industry as well.
The "entire album" was NOT "dedicated to Syd" at all.
Waters on the album: "There’s one song that’s about Syd, but the rest of it isn’t. It’s a much more universal expression of my feelings about absence. Because I felt that we weren’t really there. We were very absent."
Gilmour: "Although “Shine on you crazy diamond” is the one that is specifically about Syd, and “Wish You Were Here” has a wider remit, I can’t sing it without thinking about Syd.”
Young man listen to this whole album from start to finish put on your head phones sit in a comfy chair and just get lost in the music and when your done you are going to want to listen to it all over again..trust me I have listened to this album 100's and 100's of times and never get tired of it.
From 16 to 69 this group has been the soundtrack to my life. Thank you for appreciating them. Not one track is dud😅
I’m only sixty, but like you, Pink Floyd has been the soundtrack to my life since I was thirteen.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, which appeared in Pink Floyd's 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song is written about and dedicated to founder member Syd Barrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after dealing with mental problems and substance abuse.
Love from Italy
Well pointed out. Our millennial has not been told that David Gilmour replaced Syd Barrett (no offense intended to Sebs Duran, after all I'm an ignoramus when it comes to current music)
They always take you on a journey. For me, listening to this band for over 50 years can still reduce me to tears.
beautifully said
You’re not alone there, bud. 😢
I hear you !! Food for the SOUL love xxxxx
I was a child and realized the beauty and pure majesty of overall talent; when I smoked and drank as a cook, pink floyd would put me to sleep in 2 minutes. Now, I can't play pink floyd without staying up all night to truly appreciate every musical note and lyric!
>40 years for me, and tears, too
Syd Barrett was truly a crazy diamond. I’m 69 and grew up with Floyd, having seen them many times. The Great Gig in the Sky is scarily emotional, especially from ‘Pulse’.
I like the original from The Dark Side Of The Moon. A baritone and tenor saxes were used in this cut. No saxes we’re harm during the creation of this video.
@@elfcounsulAnd Clare Torry was beautiful.
Us old folks had the best music, Led Zeppelin was my first band but when I heard Pink Floyd I was hooked. 66 years old and still listening to Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd can only really be appreciated by listening to the studio version in headphones. So much better that way.
Yes, Headphones. Go to a different world.
I was in row 10 at this concert at Earls Court London in 1994: aged 24 and moved to tears by the whole experience. Guy stood next to me aged 60+ also in tears . Truly Special.
Me too! Was it the show that was the rescheduled one due to the stand collapsing the week before?
I was there also, thought the whole show was outstanding.
I was there to , the night the seating had collapsed it came on the news an I thought o no now tomorrow is gonna be cancelled but lucky enough it still went ahead we was right at the back 2 tiers up an had a fantastic view of the whole show 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌❤
I was row 13 at the gig.. What a night! Found Pink Floyd when i was 12 (57 now). Seen great groups live (rush/rolling stones/iron maiden etc), none match that gig. The greatest & yes, there were tears in my eyes too lol. 👍🇬🇧
I get it dude, I never had the privilege to see Pink Floyd. Next best thing in my opinion is Brit Floyd and have seen them 7 times and will see them this June and I am amazed and brought to tears every time especially when they do Great Gig in the Sky. Eva Avila does an impeccable performance performance.
Once you start to go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole, things start to get spiritual
Absolutely!
I never had the privilege of seeing Pink Floyd , but the next best thing is Brit Floyd. I have told all if my friends that it is a very spiritual and and emotional experience not to be missed.
My bride and I were lucky enough to see The Division Bell tour when Pink Floyd came to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
It's a great rabbit hole to follow
They awaken your third eye and soul
This is in honour of Syd. His breakdown was a tragedy. A unique and truly great talent and deeply beautiful.
I envy this youtuber because he gets to hear all of these songs for the first time. I wish I could hear just about anything by Pink Floyd for the first time again.
This song is why Megadeth's Dave Mustaine said Gilmour "...could do more with one note than some of today's shredders can do with a dozen".
The pulse concert is what you need to watch. I had the pleasure of seeing them twice. Pink Floyd was much more than just a concert, it's music it's theater it's visual for me it was almost a religious experience yes Gilmore can make you feel every note.
Gilmour.
@@psbarrow yes that’s right
Pink Floyd don't just make music, they create experiences (visual, musical, emotional).
They are my all time favorite band and I thank the universe for giving them to us.
P.S.
The entire "Pulse" concert is a timeless marvel.
P.S. 2
David Gilmour is God speaking to us with the guitar.
Yup.
In my 60's now, this is still my all time favourite album. Bought it when it was first released.
Pink Floyd, the epitome of “less is more”. Music to be felt 🎉
French composer Claude Debussy was right when he said: “Music is also the space between the notes.”
Exactly, not one extra note nor any missing and as your other commenter says with proper spacing. It is the beauty of Pink Floyd. I was lucky enough to see them on their Division Bell tour.
My father first turned me onto Pink Floyd many years ago. He taught me that the music isn't something to just be listened to. You feel it. You experience it. But you never just listen to it.
I’ve read that their music isn’t just ‘heard, it’s ‘absorbed’ - I agree.
Still to this day...goose bumps
@@renyyoung2883 The same with me. So many years later and I get chills every single listen. Amazing, isn’t it? 🌙✨
Try the whole Floyd album Animals.... it'll blow yr mind
THIS is music! Nothing compares to this!!!! Brings a tear to my eye!
This song perfectly displays the blues influence in Gilmours guitar style. I'm not just hearing it, I'm feelimg it.
It is so nice to see a young person who is philosophical and introspective. Pink Floyd tells great stories to those who are willing to listen. Their music is a journey and an experience. Best listened to with headphones (or large speakers that move a lot of air), in a comfy chair in the dark. Let the music take you away.
David Gilmour is a master at making his guitar sing. His vocals are also incredible. Watch Comfortably Numb from the same '94 Pulse concert.
It's an unwritten law on youtube "Thou shalt not pauseth a David Gilmour solo"
Anyone else, when you go back in time, and re listen to the great music of your youth...60's thru 80's, cry and cry due to the intensity of it all/the memories, and where we are today? 😢😢
Headphones for Pink Floyd. Definitely music for your brain, mentally and physically.
Gilmour is a guitar God. Watch Comfortably numb from this concert, one of the best guitar solo of all time. I discovered the band when I was 5 and never got tired, im 48 now and lucky enough to have seen then live at that concert in 1994 MTL
Couldn't agree more if I tried.
If it's about creating an emotional response by playing guitar (and don't forget writing that stuff), there is no competition to David. To this day, I recently saw him in Chicago. Phenomenal. There are faster, more precise, etc. guitar players. But they can't do what he does. And he does it constantly. There are people like Steve Vai who have a tremendous outlier like "For the love of god", but David created dozens of the best pieces of music of all time. And Roger Waters lyrics that stand out to this day.
Yup...back in 1970s we did trip to Pink Floyd and their albums were an emotional journey.
My first Floyd album was in 69, Ummagumma. I still have every album they made along with the Pulse DVD. It’s like being there.
Watch out for those small furry animals.
Had to pause halfway through the video to say oh my God you need to see Pink Floyd echoes part one from live at Pompeii. Recorded live at Pompeii coliseum. An ancient Colosseum that was covered in Ash in the crate volcano that destroyed Pompeii. Only two performances I've ever been allowed there and both of them were Pink Floyd or David gilmour. Epic and legendary does not even cover it
I'd have to agree.
THIS, THIS music is music you kick back and listen to with headphones on, eyes closed and just FEEL IT!!!
Personally, a set of good quality headphones, the door locked and with my second glass of a decent single malt whiskey. A perfect chill out session.
IMO today's music is just a bunch of crap everyone is doing the same thing singing the same and don't even mention Rap to me because some of is vulgar so bad I'm afraid my own kids would love Rap and not listen to what real music really is. Now I know kids and some adults like it but Rap isn't for me and my family. to me this is truly great music!
dude, i just found your channel, and i love that you are getting into this world of classics! pink floyd is the best! Animals is a master class album too!
You will never see this level of talent and musicianship evenr again. Remember, this first recorded back in the 1970s. They produced this music with the instruments and equipment they had at that time. Pure talent.
What makes David Gilmour one of the greatest guitarist is, like B.B. King, he has absolute control over every single note he plays.
What's so sad is they were recording the Wish You Were Here album and Syd Barrett came in and they didn't recognize him anymore.
Actually no, they were recording songs that eventually became the album Animals. After Syd came and visited, Waters was so disturbed that he wrote the lyrics for Wish You Were Here (about Syd).
At the time, they stopped working on Animals songs in order to work on WYWH, which frustrated Gilmour a little; he was not as affected by the visit as the rest of the band since he didn't really know Barrett.
GREAT REACTION SEBS.. Welcome to the wonderful world of Pink Floyd. Your life just got measurably better for listening to them....
Amen
The rhythm in this band is so fluid, so sophisticated. I can't think of anyone else who can do it.
I am 62 years young, and I just happen to grow up with some of the best music that was ever made. In the 70s and 80s and even in the 90s that’s all we did was go to concerts! Pink Floyd, the Eagles, Van Halen, you name it and we were there. I am from Dallas and they had their concerts at reunion arena. My best friends wife worked there so she knew who was going to be in concert before the radio’s did. So 11:49 we were so lucky and blessed that we got to get our tickets before anyone else. So my brother I am so glad you’re listening to some of the greatest music ever made and I hope you get to listen to Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan was from Dallas. He died in a helicopter crash in 1990. You need to listen to Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd my brother.. I see that I’m a mo behind, so I hope you get to read this. Love n Peace my brother
"Dude, Pink Floyd has great music man!" - Understatement of the year!
He is young my friend. He will learn the ways of the Floyd soon enough.
@@anthonyross-702 Just wait until he finds The Dead...
Many people will mention Syd and his losing battle with mental illness, some of which will blame drugs even though Syd's issues were long before his drug experimentation and were only made worse by them as he sought self-medication to address his fading sanity. This track and its total composition were actually made long before Syd's appearance in the studio as it was part of the 3 compositions PF put together in response to their feeling disappointed in the Dark Side of the Moon(which they felt was incomplete and unpolished, and not an example of the band's talents and capabilities). They toured for over a year on the road hammering out these 3 compositions on the backs of the songs of Dark Side of the Moon. The 3 compositions were to make up the next album release and this is the only one of the 3 that did actually make it to that album, the other 2 (Dogs, and Sheep) were actually pushed to the album after Wish You Were Here, Animals. If you listen to the 3 compositions with Shine On You Crazy Diamond last and Sheep first, you get a completely different context to the composition, and when you add in Welcome to the Machine, Pigs, and Have A Cigar to the list, you see the original context reinforced, and given the time/era of music, you will see it almost a decade ahead of Joe Walsh's same position, and the many other famous rebellions against the music industry and their single greed tracked mentality that left the best works on the editing floor.
The track that most people are unknowingly referring to when they state it was written as a tribute to their loved member Syd, is actually Wish You Were Here. People are correct in stating the album changed due to an unexpected visit by Syd, as the band wanted to make a fitting tribute to their friend and founding member of the band. Once Wish You Were Here was composed, it needed to be fit into the album, and for time constraints, Sheep was cut. This left only Dogs and SOYCD. After review, the context of Dogs ruined the tribute value as it tainted the album too dark without Sheep so they cut Dogs as well, and in order to fill the album with enough music, they composed Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine which Roger Waters wanted to maintain some reflection of the context they originally sought to be on the album, but yet not as connected and dark as Dogs would have been, keeping the overall tone a fitting tribute to their dear friend. When asked in interviews, every member except Roger Waters answers that Animals or Wish You Were Here is the work they are most proud of. Roger still clings to his Wall album in his narcissistic corrupted view, as the album is almost completely about him.
One can't help but to think if the industry wasn't as limiting as it is, what would the album have been like with the 3 compositions and added to it the tracks Welcome to the Machine, Pigs I, II, & III, and Have a Cigar. In my honest opinion, it would have been the greatest album ever created, beating out Dark Side for time on top 100 charts, beating out The Wall for accolades within the industry, and being the first to turn to for PF fans...
waters who wrote this does admit it is about syd, as do all the other members, it was first time ever played live on their french tour june 1974, the drugs syd took were not for self medication, he was hooked bad and was encouraged by hangers-on, who admired and wanted to be seen with him, mandrake was one of his go-to drugs, the song wish you were here is only partly about syd it is also about what waters saw as greed and ambition battling with compassion and idealism, this was shown by his own explaination of the words "A walk-on part in the war, For a leading role in a cage", where as shine on is all about syd, waters also is proud of animals and wish you were here, i have heard him say so, and yes the wall is about him, not because he is narcissistic, but during that time the others were working on their solo work at the detriment to pink floyd, they were contributing nothing new for the band to do, only after waters had offered them a choice of 1 of 2 of his own solo work, that they started contributing to what was already there, this had to be done because they were facing bankruptcy by the record company if they didnt come up with anything soon, they chose the wall, so yes the wall understandably was about waters, it was his baby and he also understandably was protective of it , as was the final cut, any great lyricist and song writer gets overbearing and protective of the work, as said by roy harper and others
Robert, both you and Kevin put great input into this subject. As an old dog who grew up with Pink Floyd and other great artists filling my home and childhood, it's great to hear from two great appreciators (if that's not a word, it is now), of great music. In my opinion, the crap today is just that. CRAP. Computer alterd CRAP. One that really fortifies my opinion of today's noise is when i hear Grace Slick sing like the angelic powerhouse that she is. Thank You both.
@@kevinohara2618 I am not Gilmour nor Waters, so I can't state what is or isn't correct. I can say that according to all of them, Syd's visit to the recording studio in June of 75 was altering for them and the work they were doing. The album that came from those studio sessions was Wish You Were Here. Prior to those sessions, PF was touring in '74 playing setlists labeled Wish You Were Here, and there were 3 dominant compositions played in those shows, Raving and Drooling(later renamed to Sheep), You Gotta Be Crazy(later renamed to Dogs), and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Prior to Syd's appearance at the Studios, they hadn't seen nor spoken to him in a few years. I want to say it was Waters who said he had only seen him once or twice since his departure, up til those days at the studio, but it could have been Gilmour, and I am pretty sure it was said in a shared interview.
Dec of '73 was when the opening notes to Shine On was created when the band was working on a project called Household Objects. Gilmour describes the Wish You Were Here album process as being a fight with the label, first, it was that it was too long, and then it was that the songs were too long for radio. He mentions Sheep getting cut to reduce the album length, and how the album sounded without it, going into detail about how dark and improper Dogs was without the context of Sheep to accompany it. That led to Dogs being cut to keep the album in a context for a tribute to Syd. He also talks about how Welcome to the Machine and Have A Cigar were created in the studio as Roger wanted to keep some ties to the original concept of the album which was about the industry.
If you wish to argue against the widely accepted term of self-medicate or argue that Syd wasn't consistently, even habitually taking psychoactive drugs outside the oversight of a physician, or that he didn't know he was suffering from a mental illness...be my guest.
I am sure Roger is pleased that at least one person in this world doesn't find him narcissistic. Although coming from someone who described the Wall album times in a way that makes it out that others were self-centered in their lack of input into his opera and forgets to mention things like dealing with divorce and death and other life issues that they were dealing with...probably excites him more.
@@robertevans2450 i just stated facts, dont bite me, bite the truth
Well im making a new playlist now. Thanks for the insight
I've seen these live twice,totally awesome,their music is so haunting yet soothing.their light shows are 2nd to non.davids voice is so strong & mesmerising.
Great review Sebs. You do have some insight about music, life and such. Cheers Friend.
The entire Pulse concert is mesmerizing, beautiful, stunning and brilliant. I love Pink Floyd and I didn't even pay any attention to them until my late 30's. I consider those lost years that I could have been enjoying this incredible band.
I was lucky, got into them when Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973, I was 20 years old and been to numerous concerts in NYC
This album is a tribute to founder member, Syd Barrett - a genius who became psychotic. "Well you wore out your welcome with random precision" I believe refers to the fact that Syd would often not turn up for recording or practice sessions. Eventually the band carried on with out him. When he finally arrived at the studio, years later, they almost didn't recognise him.
"Do eat the red ones !" " Naw not those red ones Syd!"
Another quite enjoyable time while spent with you. Thank you so much for sharing. Really appreciate you taking this journey and joy. There's a lot to find here
You are right about your "third eye", your chakra flows right through your soul with Gilmores guitar playing... its pure, unbiased and most of all, moves many, many to tears with this performance!!! Shine on, is perhaps, one of Pinks very best showpieces by far and away!!
Syd - Shine You Diamond
Every note Gilmour plays, every sound he makes, every moment of silence is intentional and heartfelt.
More, they were a band who listened to each other and supported each other despite the personality conflicts. Perhaps even, that tension added to the perfection of harmonic resolution.
Absolutely. The opposite personal polarities of Gilmour and Waters was a HUGE part of Pink Floyd's magic. The hard nose cynicism and sharp intellect of Waters juxtaposed against the creative and lyrical mind of Gilmour is what made PF special and, no, I'm not disregarding Mason and Wright, both very fitting within the context of the band, but the volatile cocktail of G & W was the engine that propelled PF into the stratosphere and ultimately broke them up.
Total RESPECT. FLOYD ARE JUST BEYOND xxxxx
Put on your headphones to not miss all the sound effects and have the complete experience and watch, together with your wife, the whole Pulse concert. You will surely not regret it.
I really enjoy listening to and looking at this for the umpteenth time.....and I appreciate your commentary, thank you!
That was the first reaction of yours I watched and you pretty much nailed it. I will have to check out some others. Pink Floyd is quite the rabbit hole, enjoy. Such a beautiful daughter, my best to you and your family.
Thank you for a wonderful reaction. For your watching pleasure, I recommend the full version of Pink Floyd at Pompeii, the documentary. Loaded with phenomenal music as well as interviews and commentaries from the guys.
Found Pink Floyd as a young teenager. All my life my peers thought it was weird I loved it as it was old music. 😂 I’m over 40 now and look more generation’s taking it up. Pink Floyd is timeless.
I was 12 when i found Pink Floyd, i'm 57 now & still my no1 group. Saw them at Earls court pulse gig. Cannot be beaten! 👍🇬🇧
Me too, I'm 66. And came to the show, late. Saw them twice: Wish You Were Here and Animals tours. Plus, Roger Waters, solo.
I also found them in my early teens and came into them even later as I am in my 30’s 😂 Never got to see them in concert and won’t ever get to either unfortunately.
I saw them on this tour, it was an epic show for real. The sax player strapped both a tenor and a baritone on and flipped between them it was nuts!
I think something that we all miss from the music of the 70's is its sheer poetry. From Led Zep. to Pink Floyd and all the artists in between. We miss the lyrics that not only tell a story but deeply touch our hearts.
Led Zeppelin sucks. Don't put them in the same sentence as PF.
Pink Floyd is absolutely awesome live. I saw them back in "93 or '94 in Toronto. You have to listen to this band through headphones.
The Floyd don’t block, knock yourself out. Many have, and it’s always fun watching someone hearing them for the first time :)
New to your channel and two video's in i hit the subscribe button.. love the content. Keep up the good work. Love, peace n harmony from the UK 🇬🇧
Hey Sebs I’m so happy I’ve stumbled accidentally into your page…. I’m loving your reactions to the music I love !
It's not just the resonant lyrics or the amazing music. It's a lifetime of listening, all the deacdes-old memories that arise when hearing a song for the hundredth time. And recognizing the genius and perspective, the sadness, the wsdom, that the lyrics contain as you age into the later years of your life. It's powerful.
Dude, you HAVE to watch the whole concert. The single best production and performance in rock and roll history. Hands down!!!
Good to hear a reaction video mentioning lyrics, then you mentioned Carl. So many doing these only hearing, feeling the music
I’m in my 40s and remember being utterly blown away by this song. I still feel it every time I hear it. Definitely my favorite.
When music can transcend the generations and still make you feel the original message. Legendary.
So many things you said were spot on, especially in regard to how today's songs don't have key & signature changes, etc. Things that make you take note and take you to an entirely different level - take you from one plateau to the next. It's what missing and when you hear it, you know it. David's guitar playing is extraordinary. He doesn't have to thrash away on the guitar nor play a thousand notes per minute. It all has to do with finesse and refinement. It's the feel you put into the strings. I'm glad you were able to hear this and that it moved you. That's what great music is all about and it's timeless. P.S. Your daughter is gorgeous.
It's all about phrasing. David and Knopfler are masters.
I saw them in concert 3 times !!! They are unbelievably the best live band bar none !!!!!!!
David Gilmour is one of the greatest string benders of all time, and a master of the whammy bar. His playing is full of so much emotion. Pink Floyd is an amazing and immersive rabbit hole to wander down. Enjoy the ride!
Adding the saxophone was such a nice touch to Floyd's music. Rock and Jazz mixture added such a different feeling. I also believe Floyd doing movie soundtracks early on helped them develope using music to tell a story or convey a feeling or mood.
This brings up so much emotion in me,i could cry
Love watching the new generation discovering our music of the 70's. What they need to know when about Pink Floyd is that they are not listening to just music, they will embark on journey that will take their soul to the depths of meeting their spirit ❣️
Pink Floyd's intros are wonderful. I have always thought there music was never in a hurry to get to the end. There music and concept albums take you on a journey. Timeless.
Saturday night,1970s, a planetarium, reclining chairs, young couple, stars overhead, laser light show overhead, album, The Dark Side Of The Moon, moods adjusted prior to the show. Totally amazing. In love with the music. Now 70yo. Still love it. Means even more today. Take the Pink Floyd journey, then reflect.
Yeah, I've done Pink Floyd in a planetarium. It freakin' worked.
Been there too. Wasn’t it great?
I’m so glad you loved this. To me, this is the most Pink Floyd Pink Floyd song. It just has everything.
I'm glad you appreciate them. I can't iterate enough that what you're listening to is the 60+ year old version of these guys and these songs from the 70's and 80's. You are listening to timeless works of art that just keep getting better while staying relevant. David Gilmour is truly an incredible talent.
Wow, one of the best reactions to this song I've seen in awhile. I've only listened to two minutes and you are really feeling this stuff. Gotta listen to the rest of reaction, thanks for doing this. Just for your info, if you ever go and listen to the studio version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)" and (Parts VI-IX) you can hear how they did studio
floyd created soundscapes that included brilliant lyrics. Genius work by everyone in the band. Gilmour my favorite guitarist. So soulful. This entire concert is a masterpiece during which they play many great songs and the entire album Dark Side of the Moon.
Excellent comments Seb. Millie is beautiful. Thx, Tucson, AZ.
Love Pink Floyd!! This song is absorbed into every fiber of your being and you are swept up into every up and down!! As close to orgasmic that one can be through music!! One of their best songs!
Been listening to them for years,love to sit back close my eyes with the headphones on and just let the music flow,awesome.
I've seen good, even great. I saw Pink Floyd at the stadium in South Carolina. You could lean on the bass...what a wonderful time to be alive.
Love Pink Floyd! One of my favorite bands! I've been a fan since the 70s (I was 12 when Dark Side of the Moon came out). They were amazing to see live.
Lots of references to Syd in this song.
"Remember when you were young you Shone like the sun, shine on You crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eye like black holes in the sky". In an interview with David Gilmour he spoke about when he first met Syd how Syd had this light in his eyes and a zest for life that was infectious. And later as Syd's mental illness took hold of him, how that light in his eyes just disappeared hence the "black holes in the sky". Also in the song the lyrics "You painter, you Piper, you prisoner" Syd was a painter, Piper may refer to the album Piper At the Gates of Dawn of which Syd was still in the band at the time, and Prisoner which I interpret as Syd being a prisoner of his mental illness.
Anyway thank you so much for your reaction and for finally getting to some Pink Floyd. You definitely need to listen to more of their music! The whole Dark Side of the Moon album is a masterpiece. It's meant to be listened to from start to finish as songs will transition into each other. Also their albums Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are also masterpieces. The live Pulse concert from which this video that you played is from is also very much worth watching.
The Piper reference is to the fact that, before his metal illness, Syd always had the most gorgeous girlfriends.
This is music that touches you at a soul level. From their soul....through their instruments.....to your ear...directly to YOUR soul. A direct coupling. I have seen them live twice. I have seen some of the greatest bands in the world.....Floyd stands in a league all their own.
1994 RFK Stadium . Unreal show. Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour back in 1987 was good , but that 94 concert ... no words.
I've seen them four times live. They are better than the recorded studio version. That's very unique. Greatest band ever ❤
Es la mejor banda en la historia de la humanidad.
David Gilmour. Phenomenal. You can tune into many concerts out in DVD and various streaming channels. Pulse concert. Delicate Sound of Thunder. Or… David’s solo stuff live is also great. Live In Gdańsk is my favorite. Enjoy.
This song is about Syd Barrett. Watching your childhood friend fall into madness , while trying to navigate stardom . He is the inspiration for that entire album.
The Pulse concert is AMAZING
The saxophone soloist started off on the baritone saxophone and in the middle of the solo (as you saw) flipped the saxes around and finished on the tenor saxophone. (I do believe the soloist in this case was the saxophone player who did the original track on the Wish You Were Here LP, Dick Parry.) Great reaction!
I got to see Dick with David and Richard in 2006, On an Island tour, it was awesome.
A fitting tribute to the original guitarist of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett.
Not only are Pink Floyd psychedelic, they are probably the most famous, successful, influential and beloved psychedelic band to emerge from that scene.
Love the HEARING of the lyrics and the appreciation ❤️❤️❤️
Floyd is my all time favorite ❤
