-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... 
Кино
I've said it before, but again... IMO Rick Wright is the overlooked genius in Pink Floyd. His ability to inject beautiful, yet simple spacy keyboard pieces to their work never ceases to impress me. The last 3 minutes of this is haunting & sad.
Very overlooked! He set the ambiance for almost everything they did and then threw in his solos here and there that were always amazing. A lot of times though, you almost don't even remember he's there but if you removed his part, it would be instantly noticeable.
The last is like a dirge for syd, a lament.
The last 3 minutes of this song is truly one of the band's finest moments courtesy of Rick Wright. Stunningly beautiful.
I absolutely agree! I love how he added the piano chords playing under his synth solo in Part IX, giving it a deeper, fuller sound. Also, on DSOTM his piano melody on "The Great Gig in the Sky" is often overlooked.
@@roccaclassico9028 I'm not a pianist but his playing has always captivated me and I can't even say why in a musical sense, it just moves me. Much like the playing of Lyle Mays.
I’m among those who think Wish You Were Here as the best album. But quite honestly all of their albums from Dark Side to The Wall are S tier.
what about meddle it has echoes :D from 1971
@@TheConservativeinaction
I’d also include Meddle, the perfect stepping stone into DSOTM
This is my favorite PF album too
Animals is my favorite. Follow by Saucerful and Obscured by Clouds.
Meddle was my first experience of listening to Floyd. Hearing "One of These Days" for the first time blew my mind.
The whole "Shine on.." Song is my song for my lifelong best friend since we were 5yrs old... who passed away from an overdose in 2014. Her Dr. Was just found guilty of Pill milling.. Pushing drugs and a slew of more charges last week.. He ran the worst Pill Mill in the history of New York. That Piece of Shit will spend the rest of his life in jail even if given the minimal sentence of 20yrs.
Rest Peacefully My Friend..Til We Meet Again..Shine on You Crazy Diamond ... I Miss You Everyday..
R.I.P. 🙏
@@belliferous6761 Thank you😘
I hope he serves his time in a cell. So many times they do not.
RIP
@Dana Frankenberg
Also the song that tethers my heart to a dear friend who’s light snuffed out prematurely. So hard to lose a loved one, especially in those circumstances. RIP to your friend and LIP (Live In Peace) to you. Reflect on the laughter and good times, it’ll help soften your sorrow.
There is always a reason to quit. Don’t quit, the obstacle is the way. Read the book.
At the end, Richard Wright adds a bit of the melody from See Emily Play as a final salute to Syd...
You beat me to it! I was going to say this.
see emily play is a great song.... corporal clegg, his solo stuff...
The last nine notes...
Good stuff....never caught that before.
Yes, right at 13:56 in this vid with Andy & Alex.
As much as Pink Floyd loaded songs with so much, I've always thought of them as minimalist. They never overloaded their songs with noise. Every note was perfection, balanced, and needed. Never screamed when a whisper was all that was needed.
Saucer full of secrets disagrees
So many go on about Waters and his concepts but without Gilmour and Wright it would be nothing, their expression of guitar and keyboards is just extraordinary.
I heard this entire album the first time through headphones from an fm station I could only receive at night...in bed. This was when it was first released. My mind was blown, and I couldn't wait to buy it.
There were some good FM stations back in the 70's especially at night.
@@cesarnarro6013 This one was WDVE Pittsburgh.
Uuuugh. I try to avoid feelings of nostalgia but that comment makes me feel very nostalgic! There was something really magical about discovering new music through the airwaves late at night.
Late night "alternate" FM picked up from far away. Classic American 60s early 70s experience, classic.
@@billwaters7615 We had one of those in Milwaukee called WLPX. They would play whole albums, like these were meant to be heard.
It's one of those albums you would put on, listen straight through, fall into a trance and then come-to later (with one interruption to flip the record) and need a little time to gently re-enter the real world.
Not originally, you had to turn the record over to hear side 2.
Well, if you are listening to the CD or any other method after that, you wouldn't even have that interruption.
Guys, this was written and performed as one complete song. When they toured dark side, they played this along with 2 other new songs called raving and drooling and you gotta be crazy. The dark side follow up was supposed to be those 3 songs but waters felt it didn’t work and suggested splitting shine on in half and adding songs in the middle that fit the mood the band was in at the time. The added songs were what ended up on the record. They then repurposed raving and drooling as sheep and gotta be crazy as dogs and wrote pigs to round out the animals album. Bootlegs are easy to find of shows with the original whole shine on performed as a piece. There’s also a great quality one from Ivor Wynne that has only have a cigar between the 2 parts of shine on.
I'm 33, and Floyd has been my favorite band since high school, and I never knew that. Thanks for sharing!
My first concert was Pink Floyd June 7th 1975 at the Atlanta Stadium. I was fifteen years old. They opened with Raving and Drooling and You Gotta be Crazy both of which later ended up on the Animals album. Then they played Have a Cigar and Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Nobody had ever heard them before. Wish You Were hadn't come out yet . Right before Shine on You Crazy Diamond my friend pulled out a funny looking cigarette his brother had given him and we started smoking it. When I looked around the field I saw that we were completely surrounded by a bunch of hippies and they were smoking funny looking cigarettes too! Right about that time the opening guitar figure from Shine On rang out and ricocheted around the stadium in quadrophonic sound. There was an audible whoo in the crowd. Then it rang out again. Then Roger sang "Remember When You Were Young"? The crowd was completely mesmerized and I remember thinking it was the coolest song I had ever heard. I also remember thinking there must have been something other than tobacco in that funny looking cigarette.
The Atlanta concert was June 7th. June 5th was the day Sid Barret walked into the studio while they were recording Shine On.
That's the tour I saw, with the second set being Dark Side, and Echoes for the encore. I was front row at the Seattle show, and there were no pupils undilated anywhere on the house.
Hey, I was at Ivor Wynne for this thing….it light up half of Hamilton..and that’s saying something with a fire breathing Stelco steel mill right next door. You literally could even hear it across the Hamilton Bay, in Burlington….
It’s always so windy in Pink Floyd land.
@@lipstick_attack 😉
Picture it...
You are 18 years old and you go to the record store to find that a new Pink Floyd album is in.
You ask the guy who works there to play the album while you study the cover art (yes, they would do that); and you stand there transfixed as you attempt to take it in.
You of course take it home and play it over and over... and over.
A glorious tribute to the even gloriouser Syd Barrett. He turned up randomly after a number of years at the studio when Pink Floyd were recording this album. Cosmic...
Some would say hes the gloriousest there ever was
The incredibly sad part is he had deteriorated to a point they didn't even recognize him and he barely spoke to them. Its very sad.
Now go for the full album reaction so Alex can hear "Welcome to the Machine", "Have a Cigar", and "Wish You Were Here".
I have been listening to this album since the early 1970's, and it never fails to give me goosebumps!! Even now at 68, I sit in my study, lights low, headphones on, a glass of something interesting, in my case J&B Whisky and I'm 20 something again!! Enjoy 😁😁🇬🇧
Amen, Alan. Am 65 and its atop 5 lifetime release.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd Album. It’s just flawless.
And at 63 its a joy to watch these guys enjoy it as much as I have all these years.
I was 15 when this came out. So thankful to have had the great music of this era in my life at that time. I tell my kids that you just had to be there.
I love getting to relive the incredible bliss that came with hearing this for the first time! 🙌🏻
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼
I know. I heard this when it first came out and I was only 15. The music of that era really formed my music appreciation. Thankful for having grown up then.
@@craigdoriety9798 I am, too!
Didn’t watch yet but already know this is epic…. Next the full Animals album.
I have no clever comment, or funny quip. This is just so fun to watch. Watching someone who appreciates good tunes discovering a beast of a song. Keep it up, guys.
This song gets me high without taking drugs. That’s special...
It’s even better with lol
When this album came out, I couldn't wait to spend my $2/hour pay check and buy it. Pink Floyd got me through my teenage years. Great reaction, guys.👍👍
"Pile on many more layers, and I'll be joining you there..."
I like this line most of all. Waters obviously empathized with the mentally ill. I love this recognition that we're all right on the brink. Most of us can relate, but only Pink Floyd could put it in such simple, relatable words.
I have always felt this line too & use it sometimes when life is getting overwhelming!
"Wish You Were Here" is something very rare:
a perfect album!
It's amazing this was supposed to be a tribute to Syd and then he shows up at the 1975 recording and no one recognizes him. (Abbey Road Studios).
When Syd did show up to the studio while they were recording this, all David Gilmour could do was cry
I love how that last movement moves from something slow and funereal into something almost flighty and playful -- like moving from grief to remembering the good times.
My favourite Floyd album! Everybody was nervous when it came out... the feeling was, can they really come close to catching lightning in a bottle again, after the brilliant 'Dark Side of the Moon'?! Well, for me, they definitely did!
Pink Floyd were fantastic story tellers that happened to also be masterful musicians. Their album, Dark Side of the Moon, is one continuous story that takes the listener on an emotional journey. I would often not be able to talk to anyone ofter listening to Pink Floyd because I wanted to continue to be immersed in the afterglow of the experience for as long as I could.
Yep I'm a 53yr old musician who loves all kinds of music. In my opinion Dark side of the moon, wish you were here, the wall, division bell and momentary lapse of reason are the greatest albums of all time. All from pink floyd. Greatest band ever.
The last 3 min is the most beautiful thing I have heard! Amazing.
So many layers of music, each flowing thru like a stream and eventually merges into one giant river.
Rick Wright is often looked over as a musician I feel. He really hammered out some awesome keys on this one.
GOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!!!!
☮️❤️♾️
The more I listen to The Floyd, the more I realize they are/were the total package and musical perfection! Their music is flawless and timeless…
Edit: Fearless needs to be next gentleman.
NOT a big fan of Animals. It has grown on me over the years but it is still one of my least fav PF albums. I think I like WYWH the best. Was a HUGE The Wall fan but that has dropped of my charts lately.
I'm ecstatic that you jumped to part 6-9 and didn't leave it by the wayside! Many reactors skip this one.
This was originally one whole song. They did later decide to split it for the album. Live performances were split also... although they may have done it complete only a handful of times. I loved watching Andy's knowing looks and anticipation for Alex's reaction. That was good stuff. You both know Floyd does not disappoint. Atom Heart Mother with orchestra and choir next, please.
I can see myself as an old guy and still listening to Pink Floyd and still being fresh
I’m an old gal and it’s still magnificent
I've been listening to Floyd for six decades now
Can confirm. I’m old, and every time I hear Floyd it’s still fresh. I’m still hearing details I hadn’t heard before
I'm not old... I'm only in my sixties, but I still listen to music from my more limber days and the good stuff always sound fresh every time ; )
Yes, same here…63 earlier this month & Pink Floyd has always been my favorite band. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A magnificent album, and this song a tribute to the former band member Syd Barrett who had sadly left the band after succumbing to the effects of drugs. Syd wrote some of their early work which lead to the band's enormous success.
To be honest, it was Syd going nuts and leaving that led to their success.
In my eyes this is their best album.
I hit this video faster than I throw butter on my rice. I hope you guys have a great holiday.
I was about 13 when I bought this album, walked home and then listened to it while an incredibly intense thunderstorm raged outside ( peaking as this song was on ).. seems I cannot hear this particular part of the album without thinking about that day.
Best part of the whole song more instrumental and just brilliant. Get Alex to Hear something like A Sauceful of Secrets live in pompeii or Atom Heart Mother (Suite). You guys should react to whole film Pink floyd live in Pompeii
They've reacted to Echoes from Live at Pompeii.
"THAT 70's SHOW" basement smoke circle only w/ black lights & gloWing posters...& me marker drawing designs on the rubber toes of my HIGH TOPS.
Great reaction, guys!
Shine on You Crazy Diamond (parts I-IX) might arguably be their finest composition overall :-)
I've heard it the described as a sort of 'sonic cathedral', somewhere, which I think is a very apt description :-)
The entire Shine On ... suite is among the best music ever recorded, imo.
I've lost count how many joints I smoked while listening to this LP and Dark Side of the Moon. I miss the 70s.
This is simply just a beautiful piece of music. Put on the headphones, lay down, close your eyes and let it wash over you.
Excellent Monday morning song!!!!
☮️❤️♾️
Happy Monday, @John H! 🌞
This is sweet Thank you guys so much what a great way to start my afternoon.
The thing I love about Pink Floyd is that when you listen to there albums they take you on a journey but they always seem to gently bring you back down from the incredible high trip they've just taken you on
1975 for music was like 1939 for movies,, Blood on the Tracks and this album
Been hearing this for 46 yrs and still get goosebumps!! .
I've always loved that intro, especially when the guitar really kicks in. It's just got this swing and sway feel to it.
45 or 46 years ago, I bought this album; it was my first Pink Floyd album. All other albums followed.
Pink Floyd is and will always be my most favorite band.
After this album, Alex should hear Atom hearth mother.
Don’t forget these two live concerts by David Gilmour:
Live at Royal Albert hall
Live at Pompeii
The last part of that sounds to me like a farewell to their departed friend.
Yes, it sure does. It seems to me that the different parts of the larger Shine On song represent different segments of their struggle through his drug addiction, mental health struggles and, ultimately, his death. Beautiful song. I cannot help but relate. Wish You Were Here is definitely my favorite Floyd album and I have worn out a few of them over the years.
Favorite band of all time. No one even comes close. Best concert I ever went to.
Yes, it takes a while to come back to earth. And this is why this has been my favorite Floyd album for some time. It's the album that I keep coming back to for it never ceases to amaze and entertain. The various movements, compositions, textures, and feels. Just nothing like it. It is the musical landscape of my youth. Shine on, bros.
"Free Four" Pink Floyds most under played song. Very good.
Everything from Obscured By Clouds is underrated. Stay is another Wright composition that is dreamy and David's slide work is exquisite. Childhoods End is my favorite though.
@James H
I was just about to say the same thing. I love OBC. Tough to rank the album by track but I think I prefer the 2nd half to the first as it's more Floyd in overall feel. Childhood's End, Stay, Wot's... Uh, the Deal bring my top three, followed closely by Mudmen and then Free Four. Obscured By Clouds the track might be one of the best album openers ever in terms of setting the mood, right behind SOYCD pts 1-5.
@@SecretAgentSuperDragon there's a live Childhoods End floating around thats exquisite
@@Theutus2 there's definitely 5 or 6 them, I have them all :)
I love that sing that nobody plays and now I am the old man
Strap on your Pink Floyd seatbelts! Peace from Toronto, guys.
So gratifying to see you 'young' ones appreciating and enjoying us 'old' ones music!!😁😁🇬🇧
Nick Mason, the Prog Ringo. Always playing exactly what is needed, when needed and nothing more.
So you're a great band and just put out an album that stays on the Billboard charts for 14 YEARS - whaddaya possibly do to follow a monumental achievement like that? Why, you go about your business and release an equally amazing piece of work called "Wish You Were Here!" Honestly, from "Meddle" (my intro to Floyd) through "The Wall" I cannot think of any band (except maybe the Beatles) that put together an anthology of albums that changed rock forever. Cheers....
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970), Masters of Reality (1971), Volume IV (1972), Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) and Sabotage (1975).

Edit : apparently I cannot spell....lol
@@MrDeadstu Totally agree. Cheers....
Stones' 4 consecutive of Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed,Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are as good of 4 in a row ever written.
@@wrldchamps04 Aftermath, Between The Buttons,Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St.
and then after that you release the most underrated album of all time. AND THEN you release the best album ever made.
This half has always been my favorite. Just jams it down your throat
Spell bound is Pink Floyd, it takes reality to a symphonic reality peppered with emotions of melancholy.
The whole 9-part song is in G minor- so dark and sad- until the very end of the Part 9 chord progression where it finally switches to G major and it’s like the clouds part and the sun finally comes shining through. At the very end Richard Wright throws in a snippet of the melody from See Emily Play as a final smiling goodbye to Syd. 😢
I'm glad somebody else noticed this.
Just realized how there are elements that sound pre DSOTM along with elements that invoke The Wall - incredible.
George Harrison wrote "While my guitar gently weeps." Gilmore literally make his guitar weep.
Pro tip - never eat anything crunchy with headphones on. That is all.
If there were no breakfast cereal, potheads would starve.
so haunting...love this so much
I remember going up to Vancouver BC to see the premier of 'Dark side of the Moon" in 1973. It was at the smaller gardens venue near the colosseum where CCR was showing that same night. Everyone in the CCR crowd asked us who we were going to see and when we said 'Pink Floyd' , they had no idea who we were talking about. We were well schroomed that night from the local farmlands and it was the first quadriphonic sound system concerts they had ever done. I remember as if it were last week!
The great stuntman, Ronnie Rondell ablaze in the background. No CGI back then, really on fire.
Woot!
🥰
I am so so happy that you guys are revisiting Floyd, my favorite band of all time. Astronomy Domine should be next for more Syd-era space rock, and the Atom Heart Mother suite should be listened to in full
Man I wish I had friends to just sit down and listen to this in person. Love it.
Masters of transitions. Bringers of mood. These guys know how to take you on a journey, allowing the songs time and space to breathe.
Waters has said the final part was meant to be like a funeral dirge for Syd Barrett.
That entire song is a genius work of art from start to finish.
You still need to check out songs from Gilmour's first solo album: "There's No Way Out Of Here", "Short and Sweet", "I Can't Breathe Anymore", "Cry From the Street".
An amazing album indeed
@@edpas007 The guitar solo on the instrumental "Raise My Rent" is one of my all time favorites. Classic Floyd sound, could've come off of Dark Side. Or a precusor to The Wall (which it was).
@@badsherman1193 one of the all time great solo albums
@Bad Sherman a few unheralded “solo” albums , outside the bigger band , of the era I used to / still love the guitar licks. Harrison , Stills , Gilmour come to mind quickly
Murder is a great song off the second album too and near the end is my favorite only the solo should be longer like when he plays it live and it is 4.5 minutes longer
I'm 72 yrs. old.... a rocker since I was 9 yrs old.... always felt music... Pink Floyd had just got inside of me and put me on a body plane and just gets me to another place.... so goooood
Oh man that jam section is soooo good. The drum and bass is so fun.
I remember precisely the first time I ever heard this. It was in 1976. I was in heaven.
Gilmour on that Lap Steel guitar making it scream!! He is so awsome!! I just bought me a lap steel last week!
Thanks for taking me back to my youth. Great album. Should be listened to from beginning to end to get the full appreciation. One of my all time favorite albums.😎🐶👍
I have this album now for 47 years. Still listening to it. Their best album
And that boys and girls IS HOW IT'S DONE! I remember hot nights in LA smoking the green bud and maybe taking a toot or two and listening to this album when it came out. Darker than Dark Side of The Moon. Pink Floyd takes a journey into the heart of the beast. Must be played after midnight and listened to with eyes closed. Kudos to Richard Wright a master of the synths.
Back in the day, my roommates and I would spend the time it took to listen to the whole album of “Dark Side of The Moon”, sometimes twice in succession. Likewise with their subsequent album releases. Pink Floyd didn’t raise the progressive rock bar, they were the bar. They were far ahead of the curve and their music is just as relevant today as it was then. Rush is my other favorite progressive rock band. I’m old enough to have seen them when they began their first tour of the U.S. I lived in a house full of musicians. Those were the best days of my life.
Sounds like an awesome life 😎😎❣❣❣
Everytime i hear "shine on" I realize how special it is...and how fortunate I am to experience. What a musical legacy to leave and live on 😎 👍
Basically the best.
I had never noticed before how much the layering and chords and polyphony of the VIII section (I think, about 4 minutes from the end) remind me of Steely Dan... Just that spot.
The mix of rhytyms and melodies is amazing!
I can’t say it loud enough, can’t pick a song! It’s album music, side at a time, side one then flip it. Simply put.
I'd give anything to be able to hear this album for the first time again.
This album cover was my window background for years😎
Not clavichord.
Clavinet is what Alex meant. It's that fairly modern electric keyboard with the croaky timbre.
It was used by Stevie Wonder on SUPERSTITION, by John Paul Jones on Zeppelin's TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT & CUSTARD PIE, and also by Garth Hudson on The Band's UP ON CRIPPLE CREEK.
A clavichord on the other hand, is a stringed 14th century instrument, one of the earliest keyboards ever.
Similar to the harpsichord but quieter, the clavichord was used from the Late Middle Ages, through the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras.
Herbie Hancock and Stevie popularized Clavinet.
The clavinet may be considered fairly modern compared to a clavichord but they are considered to be ancient technology by today's standards. In fact they have not been manufactured in forty years now. Of course what goes around comes around. Twenty years ago you couldn't give one away at a yard sale. Now they are fetching thousands of dollars as classic "vintage" era instruments.
The first Pink Floyd album I listen to was Dark Side of the Moon. After that I continued to listen to their new stuff but also delved back into their early stuff. My favorite album was Animals... but my favorite song by them will always be set the controls for the heart of the sun from ummagumma

Isn’t it a pity how spaced out we were back then when this one was brand new. Sounds way better clean and sober. Way better.
Ohhh yes!Its all new again .No brain fog,just clarity of mind to enjoy every note.
Imagine Syd showing up the way he did when they were working on this song. It's terribly sad. I imagine this song was very heartbreaking to write and perform early on.
WOW - THIS COULD BLEED INTO ONE OF THESE DAYS FROM MEDDLE .......................
Great reaction to a great song. Most people only react to the first parts not the second parts so glad you reacted to the second parts. 😀😃😄😁
"Have a Cigar" my husband's favorite!!!!!
Just Awesome music. Is there anything better? Ok maybe, but not when your eyes are closed!!!
Just the best side of the moon of Wish you were Here. Headphones only! SAUCE 😮 I saw Australian Floyd in Tallahassee Fl. And they played Pink Floyd side two only as there concert . They were spot on with this TOTALLY COOL!
