Brilliantly beautiful....love it even more than 1-5....and I know they have many more gems just as good that I've yet to discover....Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
I believe I came to music more seriously (learning piano and more) in the early 80' after listen to this suite complete, well the whole album for sure. Very nice keyboards on this work particularly, even more than Dark side of the Moon or Animals that I also have in my favorites, Richard Wright of course supported by all the band obviously, and the unavoidable guitars of David Gilmour 😇.
For me this is Pink Floyd at their best. And the amazing thing is, they were their best for multiple records. On top of that, all these albums are so different. This is why Pink Floyd are the masters .
Absolutely, I remember the anticipation of being able to buy another album. Just to be amazed by how different, yet how familiar and brilliant, this next discovery was.
Hi ! well it s friday and it s a good long one ! So i m gonna get comfortably numb and sit and enjoy this one with you ! lol ! ya ! that s what i m talkin about ! 🥴😎💎👀
The lasts notes played by Rick at the end are the melody of the verse from "See Emily Play". Their first single (IIRC), a song by Syd Barrett. You have to listen to it now :)
@markrae1317 See Emily Play was the last official song Barrett wrote for Pink Floyd, when he started 'going over the edge'. He fought the release because he was not happy with the way Norman Smith recorded and mixed it. Supposedly it signifies the best and worst of Syd, as the band loved the song.
Love this Album so much. Still listen to it all regularly, even after 48 years. Shine On Pts I-V and VI-IX, I love in equal measure. It’s all so brilliant, the whole Album from beginning to end. Once again, glad you love it too. Magnificent. 🎶❤️🎶
@@retroreactions.... For sure! Richard Shines on Welcome to the Machine and I love the extended solo by David on Have a Cigar. They are both absolutely fantastic. My second favourite album after Animals. At this point in their career, they just don't miss my friend.
There's Something Magical When Watching Another Lover of Music - Listening to Pink Floyd ♥️ ! - It Giv's back that Magical Memory of Listening the 1st Time also 💖 Peace to You
I came to this page for the Floyd, but I stayed for your amazingly concise analyses. It's so refreshing to see, and hear, a younger generation wondering to the incomparable talent that comprises Pink Floyd, far beyond the "WOW" factor exhibited by so many first-timers. They are, IMO the greatest band in history, and a genre unto themselves. Your reactions and analyses are spot on - a real treat for those of us who have been listening to this magic for 50 years. Bear in mind, all of this incredible music was created before computer aids like today (overdubs, tape looping, sound effects, etc.). It's obvious that you are truly appreciative of complex music with quirky changeups, structure, insightful lyrics, and all the slightly subsurface (yet fitting) sounds and instruments that make PF so emotionally addictive....all of which are definitely intended to evoke a reaction, yet never disturbing the flow. They don't simply plug into their amps - they plug directly into you heart, mind, and soul. They're the primary reason that I lean towards prog now, where sonic experimentation and eclectic time and signature changes are the norm. Upon viewing your history, I see that you've only recently dabbled in the other band of the era that is a genre unto themselves - Steely Dan. Like PF, they are far more than the ubiquitous "rabbit hole" - they are both more like mine shafts....extremely deep, with a myriad of surprising side tunnels. Don't enter unless you are really into the possibility of exploration with the possibility of never returning to 'normal' music. Their unequivocal adherence to immaculate performing and production is rivalled only by PF. You could easily have a perfect reaction channel for months by previewing just these two musical titans. Please give us more of each - I'll be standing by waiting eagerly. Bravo.
Wow what an analysis! It fascinates me to hear stories by people like Susan Rogers and Steve Lukather about how music production was done back in the days....Ah, a big Steely Fan I see...Love what I've heard so far and it's your lucky day! 2 Steely songs coming today! Thanks as always for all your support and comments!
The song was initially supposed to be a one side composition of the album. It was spilt up… in one sense I feel it shouldn’t have been split up as the part VI-IX are less played… but on the other note, it frames the story… great tune anyhow
I have always loved Animals... just picked up the 2018 remaster of Animals, and it is DEFINITELY worth a listen... the drums and the vocals are more out front... it's awesome.
Love this song and this album so much. Love the whole song parts 1-9 with maybe just a tad bit more of an edge towards 6-9. I get that same feeling of kind of a melancholy uplifting at the end in part 9. What an epic opus to their friend and former bandmate Syd. Thank you for another great reaction!
Thanks so much for watching, commenting and your compliment Jeanine! I'm on team 6 thru 9 too, but the whole piece is perfection...Really appreciate you :)
It' s so joyfull discover this great old music and let yourself hijack to another dimension. When I was young I had a friend of mine who has a wall filled with cassettes with the best music in the world and every week he gave me 2-3 pieces and after week we discussed what I've heard. It was school of music - I was "modern guy" grewed up in 80/90's and listen to 70's prog music was something for old people 😀 But finally it make me to have open mind, receive everything and make my own opinion. 😉
Hi! I love time traveling with music! I remember having tons of cassettes, still have most of them I think :) So we both grew up in the 80s/90s, one of the best times for sure!!
Another awesome reaction Brandon! IMO the entire 26 minute Shine On You Crazy Diamond suite (parts 1-9) is their magnum opus. I think it is so much better than Echoes or anything else for that matter. It is the essence of Pink Floyd in one musical masterpiece. To answer your question, there were two female backing vocalists: Carlena Williams and Venetta Fields. Thanks again!
Although not a keyboard wizard like some of his contemporaries, Richard Wright was (is) able with his unique playing and sounds to take you where no one ever could.
Nel finale Richard Wright alle tastiere suona con un arrangiamento molto suggestivo, il motivo di " See Emily play " la canzone creata all'epoca dei loro esordi insieme a Syd Barrett...sempre presente come un fantasma in tutto l'album a lui interamente dedicato.
The final keyboard ending, a Coronanet I think it's technically called, was a Rick Wright adlib he said just felt right at the time. They liked it so much it was reteained in the final song mix. I'm old enough to remember hearing this whole album on UK Radio 1 as an experimental quadraphonic pre-release. Uninterrpted and totally unheard of. You can imagine what the lead in section to Wish You Were Heere track did to everyone !
Without Richard Wright Floyd wouldn't have been the same. You really need to listen to Saucer Full of Secrets on Saucer Full of Secrets. As that song Perhaps is Richard Wright's most extensive work. It is another long song, but much of it features him. There's also a drum Cadence throughout part of the song that even after it ends it stays stuck in your head. It is there earlier works giving us a perceived perception of what was to follow. ✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️
The very last few notes in part 9 was an homage to one of Syds songs by playing the exact same notes from his song. I wish I could remember which song it was!!! It may have been "Bike" ? I hope someone will correct me on the right song here!!
Check out the version from Gilmour’s “Live At Gdańsk “. Very intimate. Just David and Rick on the first parts respecting the two people on the stage who knew Syd. Made me cry ( a few times).
Understanding that everyone has their own personal life apart from our own the band was never quite the same after he left. Even the division bill which truly was recorded separately is beautiful. I always liked the original release of Roger Waters radio chaos. He apparently wasn't happy with it and although many like his additions I'm not exactly fond of the extended version. It follows the same format both in Pink Floyd style and Roger Waters apparent personal reflections of living at 0 Minutes to Midnight. You might sneak that one in on a Pink Floyd extra. It is a concept album also. So..... ✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️
I've never listened to the Part 6 solo in the company of a dog, but I'd like to do it some day, to test my theory: that David continues the solo and keeps raising the pitch, but you can't hear it because it's ultrasonic... 🤣I wonder how many guitar learners that solo led to suicide, like "I'm nobody, I'll never be able to play like that!" 😭 As much as I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, however, there is one band that I think was even better in terms of build-ups, of gradually building moods and atmospheres: *The Who.* An example: "Bargain", the second track of the masterpiece album "Who's Next". Not the best or the most remarkable song in the album (probably that would be "Won't Get Fooled Again", a song that alone would ensure any band a place in the rock pantheon, though "Baba O'Riley", "The Song Is Over", "Behind Blue Eyes" are all outrageously good), but perhaps "Bargain" is the song that best illustrates The Who's uncanny talent to build up moods. "Bargain" starts as an okay rock song, not bad, but rather ordinary. By the end you have your mouth open and your jaw on your knees, and the point is, you never knew how you got there, so gradual it was. Brilliant!
@@retroreactions...., yes, but not as the first listen. I think you should react to it after one or two of the other songs mentioned, or maybe "Love Reign O'er Me" (from the concept album "Quadrophenia"), which are more typical The Who.
It´s an absolutely awesome album, for sure, but i don´t know why...i always didn´t like the sound of one of Wright´s keyboards he´s using all over the LP (here lead keyboard on Part 6 and 9). Is it a synth or the Minimoog?
Brilliantly beautiful....love it even more than 1-5....and I know they have many more gems just as good that I've yet to discover....Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
6-9 me too
Actually this Is One of the best
I agree! It is symphonic! I lament it never makes it onto compilation albums!
That's a shame....wish 6-9 was played in full at Pulse too :( Thanks for watching Peter!
Yes, I’ve always had a big soft spot for 6-9 too. It’s just beautiful. 🎶❤️🎶
FIRST OF ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FROM ITALY
WOW... lightning fast today!! Thanks Kalbatross! 🥳🥳🎶💙
That final section is just so, so beautiful.
Blew me away....perfect end to the album!
Rick saying, “I miss you friend”.
yes...
It’s the riff from See Emily Play that Rick reprises. A true goodbye to Syd.
It resolves into a major key at the end and all is right with the world.
I believe I came to music more seriously (learning piano and more) in the early 80' after listen to this suite complete, well the whole album for sure.

Fascinating, i never picked up on that.

That high, soaring, screaming-to-the-heavens guitar solo is why God made electric guitars. Wish it went on thrice as long.

Their best two Lynn IMO. By the time you got there you must have been glowing! Hahaha! 😊

Part IX is their finest hour.

Understanding that everyone has their own personal life apart from our own the band was never quite the same after he left.
Even the division bill which truly was recorded separately is beautiful. I always liked the original release of Roger Waters radio chaos. He apparently wasn't happy with it and although many like his additions I'm not exactly fond of the extended version.
It follows the same format both in Pink Floyd style and Roger Waters apparent personal reflections of living at 0 Minutes to Midnight. You might sneak that one in on a Pink Floyd extra. It is a concept album also. So.....

Hi Ozark prepper! Thanks for the info and for watching/commenting!
I've never listened to the Part 6 solo in the company of a dog, but I'd like to do it some day, to test my theory: that David continues the solo and keeps raising the pitch, but you can't hear it because it's ultrasonic... 🤣I wonder how many guitar learners that solo led to suicide, like "I'm nobody, I'll never be able to play like that!" 😭
As much as I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, however, there is one band that I think was even better in terms of build-ups, of gradually building moods and atmospheres: *The Who.* An example: "Bargain", the second track of the masterpiece album "Who's Next". Not the best or the most remarkable song in the album (probably that would be "Won't Get Fooled Again", a song that alone would ensure any band a place in the rock pantheon, though "Baba O'Riley", "The Song Is Over", "Behind Blue Eyes" are all outrageously good), but perhaps "Bargain" is the song that best illustrates The Who's uncanny talent to build up moods. "Bargain" starts as an okay rock song, not bad, but rather ordinary. By the end you have your mouth open and your jaw on your knees, and the point is, you never knew how you got there, so gradual it was. Brilliant!
