I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan, Dark Side was spinning at most parties then (a very cool time) but haven’t heard that one. I’ll get it on vinyl. You’re coming through in waves.!
@@dinorockwell3196 I'm not the guy who said there's good records now, even though I agree with him. At the end of the day it is a matter of taste. A record I really like, that might be my favorite record is since I left you by the avalanches from the year 2000. To be honest, a lot of modern records that I like I learned about from the needle drop RUclips channel. Anthony Fantano is a modern music reviewer, he's pretty intelligent, again it's just a matter of taste, but I would check out his lists of his favorite albums from recent years for at least a chance of finding modern records you might like.
I have been listening to Pink Floyd for over 40 years, cant tell you how much there music has influenced me and changed my life for the better. These guys were way ahead of the times from when they began. Sid Barrett was way ahead of his time and was a masterful song writer which shaped Pink Floyd and made them what they became. Sid Barrett and Pink Floyd will live on forever.
Pretty sure Wish you were here is my favourite Floyd album, but sometimes it can be The Wall or Dark side or even Animals. The levels of brilliance in these 4 albums makes it hard to choose
Good selection. Just like trying to choose between your kids I find it hard to say which single album is my favourite because they all have distinct reasons for being so appreciated. I do put "The Final Cut" very near the top of my fave list for many reasons, including Dave's soaring solos, and the strong thematic continuity throughout the album. Sheesh, like many of you I could ramble on here for hours about my adoration for Pink Floyd, but I'll spare you all. :D
@@lolly_breadgreat to hear another that appreciates The Final Cut as much as I do, lot of ppl gloss over it but as a Brit it cuts deep and I like that.
Love that song - I’m a huge new wave fan and so many new wavers themselves loved the experimental psychedelic music of the late 60s. It’s also a Syd song so it always breaks my heart to hear it.
My 1st acid and real Pink Floyd experience with this gorgeous album. Welcome to the machine REALLY got to me. I just love their whole era so much... .. . . . .
I went through the 70's as a teen and those years will be the best decade ever across the board, plus the 70's was like a real Alice's restaurant were you actually could get anything you wanted. anyways Wish You Were Here and Animals will always be my top favs, Dark side and the rest are just as awesome!!
Jim Ladd rocks I can remember recording these interviews from the radio onto tape. That's gown we rolled in the 80s and 90s kids. Jim was the best at this. Hence why Waters had him on on his solo album
Good job. Some of this I haven't heard before. Especially the ones with Jim Ladd. Can't imagine what it would be like to be Jim or Redbeard. Interviewing the members of the band. Must have been nice.
Redbeard interviewed David many times going back to 1987 (recent was Rattle That Lock, which is also on this channel with pre-broadcast interview). Redbeard is a good friend to David (Jim Ladd is Camp Roger, Redbeard is Camp David). David and Redbeard are not like Roger and Jim in interviews. Interviewed David in 1987, 1992, 1994, 2006, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Redbeard interviewed Roger three times, Nick in 1992, 1994, 2011 and 2014 and Rick in 1994. Jim Ladd, also interviewed the whole band.
How is it going with it? A girl once gave me an alt sax, i played a bit with it but my main instruments are/were Guitar and Vibraphone and even though it was supposed to be a gift, she took it back some years later so i never got around exploring it more. But since i like chords, i doubt i would have gotten very good at it anyway, haha! Hope you are enjoying letting that reed flutter between those lips of yours, cheers!
Talk about a high bar - following "Meddle" & "Dark Side of the Moon"! They nailed it! While I will listen to each individually, THE BEST way to listen to them is sequentially. 2 hours well spent!

Because of Syd they had so much emotional material you could write a life time which they thank to David they were able to regretfully replace syd yet keep the expository nature of true music, they were able to create unforgettable lyrics and music pieces they made HISTORY
~~ in spring & summer of 1975 - they were touring North America - after opening with; "Raving And Drooling" - followed by; "You've Got To Be Crazy" - early versions of what would become "Sheep" and "Dogs" - from "Animals" - they would then play most of WYWH - (the title track and "Welcome To The Machine" were not yet being played live ) - even though the WYWH record was still months away from being released - so the live audiences had not yet heard their new music - but after most of WYWH had been played - and after a 20 minute intermission - they would come back and play all of DSOTM - followed by an encore which was usually "Echoes" - it was on this tour that Roger Waters began to become disillusioned about the very large and raucous audiences they were playing to - remarking at one point that they were; "mostly there for the beer" ..
I graduated high school in 1975. Wish You Were Here came out. Blow By Blow by Jeff Beck Physical Graffiti Toys in the Attic Welcome to My Nightmare Young Americans etc. What a year for music 🎶 What a year to graduate 🎓!
This video is absolutely genius. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this. This album brings tears to my eyes, and I am so moved that Roger Waters was in tears when he used to play this song. I suppose that is why it is so powerful - because the music and the lyrics are authentic. Waters: Just be honest and say what you feel.
This is the strangest thing that only Pink Floyd fans understand… Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album ever made but it’s not Pink Floyd’s best album… that would be Wish you were Here
Roger Waters is also a musical genius. He wrote at least half of the music/songs on the Big Four, possibly even two-thirds. Also a very competent bass guitarist and acoustic guitarist. Oh, and he also wrote a fairly decent opera.
I concur. Since I had what I either recorded off the radio and transferred to CD or what have you, I cobbled up and made a documentary out of it. Both men interviewed all four Pink Floyd classic lineup members.
@@pinkfloydcentral6384 You've really done a great job of putting these short docs together. Something about the days when you had to search for stuff like this and the thrill of listening over the air And if you were able, to record it like you did. Again, Thanks a bunch for taking me back.
I am producing a retrospective film on Roger Waters. I am asking if Floyd Central would like to give any comments for the film?. I am asking for permission to maybe use a small clip of this video for the film?. Kind regards Barry
They went to make the album "Wish You Were Here" together at Abbey Road studio, as a band in full harmony. Pink Floyd were internally very well, that is, the 4 members were indeed friends. Who got in the way with his arrogance and self-centeredness was Roger Waters himself.
@@tondewit2000 Let's be clear: Roger wrote the lyrics. The best MUSIC came from Gilmore and Wright. The balance between the two camps was where the magic happened. And WYWH has that balance more than any other Floyd album, in my view.
Recorded off the radio between 1992 and 2010, kept tapes in possession and transferred to CD. Then found higher quality versions on the net and made CD-Rs of them.
i think it was Sid`s idea to show up at the studio but in an unrecognizable appearance so he decided to shave his head, even the eyebrows for good measure.
Imagine what they could have achieved without all the in fighting. To have such talent and to have produced what they produced with all the bad feeling lawsuits etc........such a shame to have all that talent and waste it bickering. People with endless talent
I like Syd's music but let's be honest...the guy was trying to constantly rewrite Sgt. Peppers. I mean it was recorded I Abbey road and Syd loved the Beatles. Roger took the music to bew heights.
I’m so glad to see the man on fire cover with him standing erect. I had this one. Now the man on fire has his head down and the heel of his foot raised. This bugged me so much I had to do a Google image search to make sure I wasn’t misremembering. 😃 Edit: after watching further I see you compare starting at 8:35. Now I think I got one while stationed in England but it makes me wonder why the difference?
Would so my kidney as a musician to hear a group play, everything that they have to offer me as the listener absolutely, I've only been to two concerts and they were Pink Floyd tribute concerts because they actually took the time to, sure that the ultimate Pink Floyd fan was always accounted for real Pink Floyd fans would go and some of you older than me so I'm guessing that you would go to these concerts as the non-single and the non commercial pop-rock audience to hear absolutely every single piece of music that the group had to Auburn absolutely I pray for the day that comes back m31 I've only gone to to concerts because I'm not there to give you my money to give you what you think I would like to hear I want you to give me your soul bro you know
LEUKOPHOBIA; that's the word that came to my mind while watching this documentary. And it's so ironic that the main color for this album cover is WHITE. Because "LEUKOPHOBIA", as everyone knows, is the fear of the color white. Seeing or thinking of this color can make you feel sick, you may even go out of your way to avoid it. Among artists "writers or composers", it's the phobia of the blank page, where no inspiration seems satisfying.
Redbeard had a brain fart, he corrected himself on other radio specials and he did the interview with Rick in 1994 before The Division Bell was released and the full interview is on this channel and he said 1943-2008. Jim Ladd and even Roger Waters had brain farts like Roger called original Dogs "Raving and Drooling" on here.
Taking drugs is a personal choice. No one, nor any music can force you to do so. Unless you allow others to influence your life at your own expense. This is unfortunately what I did when I was a teenager, but it is now far behind me.
@@Dirgnimai7 - Here's my take on this documentary. They detailed Syd's decline in excruciating detail leading up to his exit from the band, including the fact that they didn't actually kick him out of the band...they just decided not to pick him up one day and that's how they dealt with him. They exposed how Syd looked when he arrived at the studio when they were recording Wish You Were Here. This should've been private stuff. If Syd actually did lose his mind due to an overdose of LSD, who has the right to tell the world many of the embarrassing little details about him going through that? The Floyd would have been nothing without Syd. There wasn't enough there to have had a band in place to which they'd add Gilmore. Waters had some talent but ten times as much ego. So Shine On is a tribute to Syd, but also one of Pink Floyd's biggest hits. After Dark Side of the Moon when they couldn't come up with a next album they turned to Syd again. The tribute should have ended there and not devolved into the exposition of personal information Syd would find embarrassing. I'm sure they got his permission/blessing for none of that. There's a line, and it's not that fine, between honoring and exploiting. I think Pink Floyd exploited Syd at every opportunity.
@@Bill-tz3wg Thanks for your explanation. I couldn't disagree more. In the early days of Syd's decline, there appears to have been some insensitivity in handling the situation. But, at that time, they didn't really know what the situation was. You and I have the advantage of hindsight. Keep in mind that certainly Gilmore, and possibly other band members helped Syd with one or both of his solo albums a couple years after his "collapse". And ultimately, Roger always felt extremely guilty about the situation. Some of the influence on his writing with Dark Side (some might argue a lot of it) was in trying to deal with the experience of watching his childhood friend having gone mad. And then, instead of just somewhat veiled references in Dark Side, "Shine On..." became a full-fledged tribute. Roger has been very clear over the years concerning his guilt in how they dealt with Syd when Syd declined. I personally don't think it's fair of you to accuse them--especially Roger--of anything improper toward Syd. As for "Shine On..." being one of their "biggest hits", it appears you're mentioning that as if to say they are benefiting improperly "off" of Syd. Again, I fully disagree. It's a heart-felt tribute, particularly by Roger who wrote the lyrics. So it was on a successful album. So what? It's a magnificent piece of art, and it's respectful to Syd. The title says it all. Finally, the appearance of Syd in the studio during the making of the song that is a tribute to him, showing up completely unexpected, is such a bizarre incident, it obviously needs to be told. And Syd's appearance at that time was Syd's choice. All that was done here is it was detailed. The fact that Roger was in tears says everything you need to know. In my view, there was no exploitation. And fans of the band know that, and love the tracks that reference, and are tributes to Syd. I'm one of them. I've never taken these tracks as anything beyond that. I know no one else who ever has. You are the first. But, that's not a shot at you, in any way. I'm just saying, you're the first I'm aware of.
@@Dirgnimai7 - You're welcome for the explanation. Also, you're right. You and I have the benefit of hindsight...as did everyone who participated in this documentary. The documentary has parts that are fond recollections of Syd but other parts that had to be embarrassing to him and should've been kept private. Like the picture of Syd when he showed up at the studio during the WYWH album. That was a PINK FLOYD recording session and it's on THEM that the picture was released. It's like if I showed up at the hospital when you're on your deathbed and filmed your final breaths, then uploaded the video as a tribute to you. Yes, as anyone who's watched the three main docs on Syd and the Floyd knows, he got a little help from Gilmour and maybe another ex-band mate on The Madcap Laughs. They also made sure he got his royalty checks. I'm not saying the band hated him and was out to destroy him. I do think they relied on him for a lot of success. Sure, Shine On was supposedly the only song written "for Syd" but tell me Wish You Were Here isn't inspired by him too. Even in this documentary band members also talk about how Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine related to Syd. Waters has said that the Bob Geldof character in The Wall was Syd which means Syd was an inspiration for The Wall and, while I don't have a quote from the band, I think Dark Side of the Moon was inspired by Syd too. Go listen to Brain Damage or Comfortably numb and tell me otherwise. In other words, Pink Floyd owes almost everything to Syd. For this reason, if not for basic humanity and compassion for an old friend, they shouldn't have exposed him at his worst for general public consumption. Then again, for them it was just another payday. Welcome to the machine, indeed.
I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan, Dark Side was spinning at most parties then (a very cool time) but haven’t heard that one. I’ll get it on vinyl. You’re coming through in waves.!

This is the best album of Pink Floyd's Music Career: "Wish You Were Here" officially released on September 12, 1975.
Interesting that half the band thinks so. And then there's Roger, lol.
The album was made for syd so its only right if they made it their greatest. I see most prefer the wall.
Arguably the Best Album EVER recorded! At least my opinion.

They detailed Syd's decline in excruciating detail leading up to his exit from the band, including the fact that they didn't actually kick him out of the band...they just decided not to pick him up one day and that's how they dealt with him. They exposed how Syd looked when he arrived at the studio when they were recording Wish You Were Here. This should've been private stuff. If Syd actually did lose his mind due to an overdose of LSD, who has the right to tell the world many of the embarrassing little details about him going through that? The Floyd would have been nothing without Syd. There wasn't enough there to have had a band in place to which they'd add Gilmore. Waters had some talent but ten times as much ego. So Shine On is a tribute to Syd, but also one of Pink Floyd's biggest hits. After Dark Side of the Moon when they couldn't come up with a next album they turned to Syd again. The tribute should have ended there and not devolved into the exposition of personal information Syd would find embarrassing. I'm sure they got his permission/blessing for none of that. There's a line, and it's not that fine, between honoring and exploiting. I think Pink Floyd exploited Syd at every opportunity.
@@Bill-tz3wg Thanks for your explanation. I couldn't disagree more. In the early days of Syd's decline, there appears to have been some insensitivity in handling the situation. But, at that time, they didn't really know what the situation was. You and I have the advantage of hindsight. Keep in mind that certainly Gilmore, and possibly other band members helped Syd with one or both of his solo albums a couple years after his "collapse". And ultimately, Roger always felt extremely guilty about the situation. Some of the influence on his writing with Dark Side (some might argue a lot of it) was in trying to deal with the experience of watching his childhood friend having gone mad. And then, instead of just somewhat veiled references in Dark Side, "Shine On..." became a full-fledged tribute. Roger has been very clear over the years concerning his guilt in how they dealt with Syd when Syd declined. I personally don't think it's fair of you to accuse them--especially Roger--of anything improper toward Syd. As for "Shine On..." being one of their "biggest hits", it appears you're mentioning that as if to say they are benefiting improperly "off" of Syd. Again, I fully disagree. It's a heart-felt tribute, particularly by Roger who wrote the lyrics. So it was on a successful album. So what? It's a magnificent piece of art, and it's respectful to Syd. The title says it all. Finally, the appearance of Syd in the studio during the making of the song that is a tribute to him, showing up completely unexpected, is such a bizarre incident, it obviously needs to be told. And Syd's appearance at that time was Syd's choice. All that was done here is it was detailed. The fact that Roger was in tears says everything you need to know. In my view, there was no exploitation. And fans of the band know that, and love the tracks that reference, and are tributes to Syd. I'm one of them. I've never taken these tracks as anything beyond that. I know no one else who ever has. You are the first. But, that's not a shot at you, in any way. I'm just saying, you're the first I'm aware of.
@@Dirgnimai7 - You're welcome for the explanation. Also, you're right. You and I have the benefit of hindsight...as did everyone who participated in this documentary. The documentary has parts that are fond recollections of Syd but other parts that had to be embarrassing to him and should've been kept private. Like the picture of Syd when he showed up at the studio during the WYWH album. That was a PINK FLOYD recording session and it's on THEM that the picture was released. It's like if I showed up at the hospital when you're on your deathbed and filmed your final breaths, then uploaded the video as a tribute to you.
Yes, as anyone who's watched the three main docs on Syd and the Floyd knows, he got a little help from Gilmour and maybe another ex-band mate on The Madcap Laughs. They also made sure he got his royalty checks. I'm not saying the band hated him and was out to destroy him. I do think they relied on him for a lot of success. Sure, Shine On was supposedly the only song written "for Syd" but tell me Wish You Were Here isn't inspired by him too. Even in this documentary band members also talk about how Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine related to Syd. Waters has said that the Bob Geldof character in The Wall was Syd which means Syd was an inspiration for The Wall and, while I don't have a quote from the band, I think Dark Side of the Moon was inspired by Syd too. Go listen to Brain Damage or Comfortably numb and tell me otherwise.
In other words, Pink Floyd owes almost everything to Syd. For this reason, if not for basic humanity and compassion for an old friend, they shouldn't have exposed him at his worst for general public consumption. Then again, for them it was just another payday. Welcome to the machine, indeed.
