I Live in the North Lake Tahoe Ca, I have had a chance to see these guys several times, Unbelievable Live Show!!!!!! Top notch musicians and all around cool dudes.... GUITARFISH....
@@Guitargate I subscribe to a lot of guitar-based channels and yours quickly ran to the top for me. I love your reactions and the fact that you smile a lot when you listen. Your enthusiasm rocks!
This guitar player not only eats and drinks every detail of the original, he lives and breathes his own super tasteful embellishments. Kudos! Loved the flourishes on piano too...
The entire live stream of Dark Side was wonderful and the winner out of a competition of fan requested albums for them to cover. Main Squeeze has another one of their live streams coming up this Sunday (Dec 13) for those want to check it out! They're an amazing live band.
Honestly, only here watching your video because I long to see the look on other people's faces when they see this band. I have made the same observations. The way they handle covers keeping the phrases that are essential to the structure of the composition and what makes it good but using their own tone and twists to be original. It's beyond perfect technique, masterful production as well as communication. The band is always right in the groove, you can hear each member of the band acting in real time and their relationships. It's a kind of beautiful conversation. I love The Main Squeeze, I'm glad you do too. They're my favorite band alive.
Wow - that's a hard send right there. Great cover. I remember my roommates and I cutting our afternoon classes at university in '73 to go and pick up 'The Dark Side of the Moon' and then listening to it endlessly.
If you read this, Michael, congratulations on the progress your channel has made. I’ve really enjoyed it! Once I’m done with my bachelors I hope I’ll have enough time to properly enroll into your online guitar courses.
I've seen them 30-40 times over the last 10 years... been homies with them since they moved to Chicago from University of Indiana. They are INCREDIBLE. They never disappoint.
It’s genius to have the sax do the vocal climax.... it’s like a secret pathway back into the emotions you felt on first hearing the song years again. He’s also a sick, sick man. Some of those runs as he was getting into it were just magic.
Thank You Main Squeeze and Thank you Michael!! I’m a 66 yo classic rock drummer & Pink Floyd lover...... seeing anything they do makes me just want to know them and carry their gear for them...!!!! I discovered them a year or so ago playing Have A Cigar..... and started searching for more.....and the the song that totally blew me away was “War Pigs” ..... I bet I’ve listened to them do it a hundred times..... and then..... I found “ No Quarter”..... Oh my God!! They don’t just cover..... their performances are technically correct .... yet they still making the song their own!! I truly love these guys! I can’t wait to be able to see them when we can take the world off pause........
This was a awsome job covering the song, The Main Squeeze is awesome and has got my attention! Michael thank you for sharing this one! I saw Pink Floyd in 1972 at the Music Hall in Houston which was suppose to have perfect accoustics and was 13 rows from stage, best concert of my life and this brings back memories. Thank you!
I know this is a guitar channel and the guitar is amazing, but the lead singer's vocals are so warm and smooth. It's like wrapping up in your favorite blanket warm out of the dryer on a cold night.
ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE my favorite song on Dark Side Of The Moon. However, My favorite part is the church organ transition from Brain Damage to Eclipse. 10 seconds of pure ecstasy!
I discovered Main Squeeze while I was youtubing through music stuff during lockdown and they SLAP. I saw them live when they came to new york and it was fkn beautiful.
I first found The Main Squeeze on TikTok, and they’re so rad. They jam out in their house and they have so much fun playing. They constantly remind me why I love making music. I’d love to see them live too!
Love how they’re all inhabiting different sonic/frequency zones. So layered and cohesive. The production on this album is so legendary. To re-create it live like this is sick.
I don’t know if this fits REACT criteria, but the Eagles ‘One of These Nights’ has always been an exciting arrangement for me. This Pink Floyd cover woke me up! Loved it!
I've always loved that line too. A couple others: "Sunshine bores the daylights out of me", RS Exile on Main St. and "Jesus can't save you, but it's nice to think he'd try", Black Crowes on 3 Snakes and 1 charm.
Also Michael, you may not know this; your promise to see them live is a better promise than you'll know till you see them....something that does not come through their videos is how amazing they are live. As good as they are in videos, live they are 500x better. They are one of the best live shows I have ever seen
Played again this made me feel, old, that today I am a crone. My world colored dark OceanTeal, weeping, weaving yarns I have sown Yarns: Rambling implausible stories Yarns: Spun twisted threads
I don’t think the Main Squeeze will ever get the appreciation they truly deserve. The entire band is above and beyond but the lead guitar player sticking to his Gibson SG through everything I’ve heard providing such beautiful interpretations of everything from Floyd to Rage never ceases to amaze. The LA backdrop to allot of their videos may be a side note but also adds just a little umph to their music
The line "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" is possibly a reference to 'Walden,' in which Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Either way, as with nearly all Pink Floyd lyrics, exquisitely written with many layers and ambiguities.
That and the deeply built in societal norm of the 'stiff upper lip' still being common. We tend to pride ourselves on coming across as reasonable and on the level whilst seething with internal repressed rage in social engagements.
without a doubt the most ambitious cover I've seen on youtube. Now, these guys have nailed plenty of songs that i would put in the "do not try to cover under any circumstances" category, and I know that, but when I saw great gig in the song title....man.... I mean look, she absolutely crushed it. But, if there is ONE song that truly belongs on that list, it might just be great gig. Awesome video anyway.
Specifically the live one on Spotify, the official video they put up is also awesome, but the live one has a superior guitar solo imo, and explicit lyrics instead of censored ones.
At 11:59 my head exploded from a sonic assault... and then for good measure the sax kicked me when I was just recovering her vocal section.... good lord that was AWESOME!
You should do The Turnpike Troubadours. Quintessential red dirt band of the last decade. Especially The Bird Hunters, Good Lord Lorrie, or Pay No Rent. You'll absolutely love Evan Felker's storytelling.
I live next to Redrocks...when live gets normal again im gonna follow you guys....last thing I saw at Redrock was jurassic park....I cannot die this way😆😆😆
WOW...Thank you for showin us the love brotha!! We can’t wait to have you out to a show
Y'all are such amazing musicians!
I'm just glad you guys finally let the keyboard player out of the pool from the Voodoo Child (Slight Return) video.
I'm a bitter ol' rock purist and I think you guys are the best band out there today. Good luck!
I Live in the North Lake Tahoe Ca, I have had a chance to see these guys several times, Unbelievable Live Show!!!!!! Top notch musicians and all around cool dudes.... GUITARFISH....
Come to Lisbon
They did a cover of Have a Cigar and the best comment there is "His leads are so tasty, they could feed a family of four."
YUP. love it

One of the best covers I've heard. Possibly ever
Doing justice to easily some of the greatest pieces of music ever written is not an easy thing to do. Great job to those guys.
Did anyone else get chills when the vocals for grate gig came in?
Every. Time!
EVERY FREAKING TIME!
nope
Yeah. Quite grating. 🤔
The Main Squeeze is soooo good! Go check out their cover of Led Zeppelin's 'No Quarter' sometime, folks. Worthy of watch and listen.
My band did a cover of their cover. The way Max entered that solo is just killer.
Better than original
Hell Yes!
I never thought someone could top Tool’s cover of “No Quarter”, yet here comes The Main Squeeze
How many times can we hear these two songs and be amazed. Every single time
Main squeeze is also incredible on their own!
I've seen the Main Squeeze many times in concert and their musicianship blows me away every time. Great live band.
Great to see you give so much love to the rhythm section. Rob and Reuben always hold it down.

So glad to see that Mike has joined the Squozen Ones. Great band and another excellent review video.
Main Squeeze is stupid good, was a delight to watch you appreciate how they do

@@NGPerez247 Way to go Noah, get that degree! Cheers and Thank you for watching

One of the best covers I have ever heard of any song. Amazing
Time has the greatest guitar solo of all time for me, he did it justice.
The first time I've gotten FULL BODY GOOSEBUMPS right after the solo so you run and you run part, the first time in A LONG LONG TIME.
No matter how many times over the last 40 years I've listened to this song , I rarely have dry eyes by the end.
This band freaking rules!
Their cover of Layla is phenomenal!
Thank You Main Squeeze and Thank you Michael!! I’m a 66 yo classic rock drummer & Pink Floyd lover...... seeing anything they do makes me just want to know them and carry their gear for them...!!!!

I love when music makes you cry a bit unexpectedly just out of happiness and appreciation.
There’s 11 minutes of my life gone and I absolutely could not be happier about it.
Absolutely love this! I hope David, Roger and Nick see this band on YT, it'll knock their socks off!
Two words: total satisfaction.
Loved when you leaned back holding your guitar like it was the best most warming part of the trip lol
I have listened to these songs/ this cover countless times but for some reason this time I got the chills.
I love his phrasing and arrangement of notes
Wow that was good. That girl just nearly blew my head off! Gotta listen again.
FINALLY ANOTHER MAIN SQUEEZE VID
I don't even play the guitar but love listening to you explain it.
The Main Squeeze is the best thing happened to me this year.
Speechless. They did an amazing job capturing the essence of this song
I know this is a guitar channel and the guitar is amazing, but the lead singer's vocals are so warm and smooth. It's like wrapping up in your favorite blanket warm out of the dryer on a cold night.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you checking out one of my most favorite groups. These guys are phenomenal ❤️
What a badass teacher and band
Great reaction, great cover. I had never heard of them. Wow!
ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE my favorite song on Dark Side Of The Moon. However, My favorite part is the church organ transition from Brain Damage to Eclipse. 10 seconds of pure ecstasy!
Main Squeeze also have a cover of Redbone, its so damn good
PLEASE do their "while my guitar gently weeps" cover..
These guys always blow me away
The main squeeze has done justice to every song theyve done...
One day i cant wait to see them live..
I'm hoping they do the pink floyd covers
"...sooo many things in there." Always the phrase I am looking forward to in your clips. Keep it up man! :)
These guys are so good, not only pink floyd stuff but also childish gambino, black sabbath, etc.
I discovered Main Squeeze while I was youtubing through music stuff during lockdown and they SLAP. I saw them live when they came to new york and it was fkn beautiful.
Great Gig in the Sky makes me cry every time. I can’t help it
Thanks for the steer to these musicians!

That's insane, that's what my ears wanna hear, I'm an musician too and this perfection. Loved it!
I don’t know if this fits REACT criteria, but the Eagles ‘One of These Nights’ has always been an exciting arrangement for me.
This Pink Floyd cover woke me up! Loved it!
Unfortunately the eagles are notorious for not allowing their music to be used in things like this :/
@@afkmikey260 Not surprised. Henley and Frey - are/were a$$holes.
I absolutely love them!Once the chorus hits you just transcend into a different dimension, and miss Sir Richard Wright! ❤️👏
Love this band. Love this cover. Love this channel! Thanks Michael!
I've always loved that line too. A couple others: "Sunshine bores the daylights out of me", RS Exile on Main St. and "Jesus can't save you, but it's nice to think he'd try", Black Crowes on 3 Snakes and 1 charm.
The first singer is crushing the vocals! Chills…
PLEASE watch the I'll Take Another backyard jam they did this year, its one of my favorite things to happen this year.
"Who are these guys?" One real impression haha they're amazing!
Stellar musicianship
It’s so good and so clean these guys kick ass and that chick just sounds like the original
I've seen these guys 4 time in concert, ABSOULTLY FABULOUS. It was at a record store/coffee shop named "The Ignition Garage" in Goshen Indiana.
Also Michael, you may not know this; your promise to see them live is a better promise than you'll know till you see them....something that does not come through their videos is how amazing they are live. As good as they are in videos, live they are 500x better. They are one of the best live shows I have ever seen
One of the best bands. Their originals are great too.

old, that today I am a crone.

@@FRU.No.1 👍🏽😊
You need to match Dark Side of the Moon with Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 if you liked it with Wizard of Oz

You gotta do the main squeeze cover of redbone! Their guitar player does an incredible solo on it!
Specifically the live one on Spotify, the official video they put up is also awesome, but the live one has a superior guitar solo imo, and explicit lyrics instead of censored ones.
I so badly want to see him watch that solo
These guys are absolutely KILLER live! Saw them in Ouray, CO years ago. Thoroughly impressive!
Duude crazy coincidence. I've suddenly been jamming to Time a ton since yesterday
You know it's a GOOD song when Michael doesn't play a single note for the whole video.
He did though....
FINALLY someone is reacting to The Main Squeeze!
Morning coffee and this.....absolutely awesome.
MURDER!! That band killed it! You're right, that's the best Pink Floyd cover ever!
I couldn't agree more! Thank you.
Omg!!! That woman!!!! Chills at first note
Epic fellas !!! Love all of you !!! 😊😊😊😊😊
My god! Yes, that is one of the best covers that I’ve ever heard. Thanks Michael. Keep doing what you’re doing the way you do it. Peace & Rock.
Nice. Been a main squeeze fan for a while. That cat can sing any genre.
At 11:59 my head exploded from a sonic assault... and then for good measure the sax kicked me when I was just recovering her vocal section.... good lord that was AWESOME!

Mahalo Michael!!! So awesome. I do pick it up everyday!!!
Oh My Gosh!
This is incredibly well done!!! 🔊🎶
Awesome man these guys sound just like Floyd thanks again.
I had commented that I wanted this... And it had. Amazing
Wow, really great I agree
Check out their album 1 2 3 4 5 on Bandcamp... it's friggin awesome
Love the Turkuaz vocal mystery appearance in the end. Hey Shira Elias!
The singer during "Great Gig" is Shira Elias from Turkuaz. Definitely worth checking out the band and her solo stuff as well!
JJ Grey the sunshining down will be one of your favorites
The female lead on Gig is in Turkuaz
I live next to Redrocks...when live gets normal again im gonna follow you guys....last thing I saw at Redrock was jurassic park....I cannot die this way😆😆😆
Please do more Pink Floyd stuff
Can't wait to hear this.
You should check out Tyler Childers cover of this song!
