Available on patreon now $3 for all of them! www.patreon.com
Meddle ✅
Wish You Were Here ✅
Animals ✅
The Wall ✅
Live at Pompeii (directors cut)✅
Animals is the next album in sequence after Wish You Were Here... (Personally I think Animals is the best Pink Floyd Album)
Atom Heart Mother? Animals?
@@Lord_Shouty I love animals as well. Definitely next for sure!
The Wall is a whole experience. But Animals is so underrated. Wanna hear a 17 minute song about how corporations are evil? Yes. Yes you do.
Hi, I would really appreciate it, if you could post the individual song reactions from these albums here on RUclips aswell. Unfortunately I can't become a Patreon yet because I'm not 18 yet
Btw, I really enjoyed your reaction to this one :)
Step 1. Headphones, check. Step 2. Twist a J, check. Step 3. Play all they way through, check. You did this proper.
Correction, just little louder would be good....:)

Step 2 is optional.

Step 2 is actually to either drop some cid or eat some shrooms
For a little perspective, this album was in the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart for 962 straight weeks. In other words, it came out when I was 6 years old, finishing First Grade. It stayed on the chart until I was 25 years old, 3 years after I finished college! 18.5 years!
And I would not be surprised if it entered the charts again in March 2023.
As a 60's born kid, I remember this and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours being in the charts for years. YEARS, unheard of now.
And that was from physical sales.....People had to get off their butts, go into a store and buy the thing in enough numbers weekly to compete with new releases for 18.5 years.....An amazing feat
@@bentindle9036 What's happening in March?
@@heartt4994 50th anniversary of the release in March, 1973. I think?
50 years later and I'm still convinced that the meaning of life is hidden somewhere in this album.
The meaning of life is merely to experience the sublime Pink Floyd
❤️
It is. The whole album is about life. The good parts, bad parts, and, inevitably, lunacy and death
50 years later, still chills me to the bone.
Just listened to it on LSD and I could definitely sense it somewhere there deep down.
This album isn’t a collection of songs. It’s not even an album…it’s a life experience
Literally
It’s always so difficult for me to say which Floyd tune is my favorite because so many could be
I saw them three times live in concert and they simply are the greatest band to ever grace this planet
@@toddbintz9868 You’re a very lucky man, sir!
This album, headphones, and a joint is a musical rite of passage.
@@toddbintz9868 if i had one wish, i would want an opportunity to watch pink floyd live
Dark Side of the Moon isn't just the best album of all time. It's also one of the 20th century's greatest works of art.
20th century? More like all human history
Lol, gotta love being a floyd fan 🥰
No, there were much greater art pieces in history
@@Rl-tn1ysmusically this is way up there
it’s definitely one of the most iconic
Thank you for not pausing every 10 seconds. This album is a gem and you actually did it credit
The lyrics of “Time” always hit everyone on the first listen. It’s such a universal concept that literally every single person can relate to.
Yup I'm 42 now. My dad used to tell me how it affected him and now that I'm older, I feel it completely. This album has always and will always be the most perfect musical creation ever. With a record of almost 1000 total weeks on the billboard top 200, it will hold that record til the end of time. Nobody could ever create something so masterful and perfect again. They struck absolute gold with Dark Side. The Wall was amazing too, but I think it would have been even better than it was if Roger Waters hadn't hijacked the band and kept the others from collaborating on it. (with the exception of Gilmour on comfortably numb and hey you)
Yep, I've seen many women cry to this song, once they realize that the words are not just Fanfare. I've seen many men trying not to cry, as well... Cheers...
@@StacheBigote Careful now, you're getting a little close to the edge there, with that Lennon remark. (lol) You're absolutely right with that however. Pink Floyd, or Roger Waters deserve some kind of recognition for these incredible Lyrics. I really mean that too. How does anyone just pull those lyrics out of thin air? Waters must of had an angel whispering in his ear, at the Time. Keep Smiling, my friend. Cheers...
@@shineon7641 Ha! I feel you. Don’t worry, I’m a Lennon fanatic. As far as so simple and true that it hurts kind of lyrics, he’s the king. But yeah, Waters went off on this one. Not many people can just lay it out so simply and have it hit you in the feels like that.
@@StacheBigote Yep, this one is a Stand Out, for sure. You take care, man. Remain Well & Keep Smiling... Cheers...
This album has aged in the opposite direction as most do…it has gotten better and better. There is something to say not just for the music but the way they recorded it.
Thanks to Alan Parsons
Rick Wrights contribution to this is often missed - esp GREAT GIG IN THE SKY which is really mainly he and Clare.
@@grahamhowes6904 - Yes. Apparently Great Gig In The Sky was originally a piano piece written by Richard Wright but there was a decision to add vocals and Clare Torry was absolutely amazing. She commented in an interview that she figured out her voice should be another instrument. That kind of intuition, for lack of a better word, amazes me.
Yeah. Agree.
Yes indeed, it's totally "fresh" everytime I listen to it (100 + listens)
I love seeing everyone's face when they hear that "no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" line for the first time. It definitely hits home
It really does
At 67 it all makes sense and I been listening to the song for 50 years, now I get it.
tis human to miss the bus now and again.
It’s like watching a truth bomb do its thing 😮
You think the lyrics of "Time" are powerful now, wait until you hear them 30 years from now when you're older! They REALLY hit home!!!
And yes, you will be listening to this album 30 years from now. Your grandchildren will be listening to this masterpiece!!!
Been listening to this for 28 years of my 36 on this Earth. I absolutely agree with every sentiment here.
Pass this down to your young ones. It's some of the most thoughtful and well constructed music out there.
"No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun". Story of my life.
Gets more relevant every year.
"...and then one day you find
10 years has got behind you.
No one told you when to run-
You missed the starting gun."
Very relatable.
I'm 68, and you do the math! 😂
I have been listening to this album since 73 first on 8track. 50 years later still my #1 pick for favorite album. Gotta roll a fatty get in the zone and put on your headphones. 71 today
Finally! A reactor who sits and listens to the whole album in one shot as it was meant to be heard and truly enjoying the experience that it is! You have earned my respect and sub.
Exactly. It's great and everything to hear the tracks individually. But it's just...not the same experience.
DSOTM has to be played in full. That's how it was meant to be heard.
He even had a blunt on the go, a truly authentic experience, lol😂
I realize this reaction was from a year, but I just had to comment tonight. I'm a 68 yr old grandma who's been in love with this album for over 50 yrs. Today, I was fortunate to listen to it during my first and no doubt last, total solar eclipse. It was the one thing I knew for sure I had to do. Coincidentally, I'd bumped into a different young man on RUclips last night who was trying to react to Great Gig in the Sky without listening to the entire album. I lamented to my adult son that I wished someone would figure out you just can't review one song from Dark Side of the Moon. Out of the blue, this channel and this reaction came up as a suggestion tonight!! It's karma or something. I too, have great respect for this young man and have subscribed. Watching his reactions and the way he dug into the lyrics was priceless!!
@@rojavida The only only way, fair play to him
@@itsmommy100 of course Out of the Blue is an entirely different double album experience!☺️
I love it when people hear "The Great Gig in the Sky" for the first time. It's truly one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
The drive to explain it is hard to just let it be. Just let this kid figure it out on his own. Might take years, but thats nothing more than us old folks had to do. Why try to explain it him? This is too fun.
One more go at it…how do you explain death and dying to a young man? As the years roll on, and we lose more and more, we can hear what an amazing job she does going through the stages. Don’t hear sadness, just real stuff, when you know it’s coming. Ya gotta get ready for it. She sings it, thats all. It’s not complicated, and the most complicated, all at once.
@@stephaniefain1863 with metaphors, maybe nature metaphors. Things they can relate to.
@@charlespancamo9771 I’ve read, or watched, several interviews with Gilmour about this song. He has left a lot to interpretation, as a great artist would. I honestly don’t remember if he said it, or someone else SAID he said it,but her instructions for singing were also pretty vague. I remember that she was told to play her voice like a sax. That she was to sing about the human experience of knowing you were dying, and the stages, anger, denial, into acceptance. Hell, I have no idea if any of that is truth, but I like it, and thats what I hear when I listen to it. I’m getting old, and not as healthy as i would like to be, or should be. So, I can relate. Aside f all that, its just a bad ass piece of music, no matter what you hear when you listen.
@@stephaniefain1863 true. and the great gig in the sky is one of the more positive and uplifting pieces, not to mention musically astounding. I agree.
Claire's vocal solo is basically a saxophone solo. But she sang it. Same register, same range, same stylings. She's just so incredibly talented.
Claire was originally paid something like 38 pounds for her piece which she improvised
Goosebumps all the way
@F. Scott Churchman (Learning Channel) Only after she eventually sued.
Clare
Her last name is also spelled in a non standard way "Torry"
Great observation, I never thought of that.
Im 16 years old. I’ve been listening to pink floyd since the pandemic where my dad helped me expand out my taste in music. I will never forget the goosebumps i got listening to the solo from time. The reason i picked up guitar a year later. These reactions just hit different and have a crazy meaning now. Love the content!
Bravo to you and your dad 👏🏻 nothing makes me happier when I hear young generations show interest to Pink Floyd rather than these new garbages
cool rock hard, forget the crap they call music today. Crazy cool coz.
Good luck with the guitar Jely SF I started in my teens at the time of this music, The only time I made any progress when I did some time every day just learn a little and over time it adds up ..It may feel that you are not progressing but then one day you will realise you have come along way,That was my way anyway,
There are three bands I am absolutely _addicted_ to watching reactions of: Led Zepplin, Rush, and Pink Floyd, my holy trinity of Rock. Son, you've just added a go-to, AAA-Rated, gonna-have-it-forever musical resource. 50 years from now, Shine On yet You Crazy Diamond will still make you shed a tear out of shear isolation and lonlieness. Echoes will still be sending you to Saturn and beyond. You will be an old man and, on reflection, you find Floyd has been one of the most valuable experiences of your life.
@@MsMary-xn6yz Seconded.
This is the most genuine reaction I've seen to Dark Side, kinda choking me up young man, welcome to the family!
timeless msg to humanity
I get pure enjoyment, watching our younger generations get to experience and taste of our lives, when we were growing up. It takes me back and it's Never Over. There is no End Game if you keep playing! ✌️😁
40 years have got behind me
But the song is Never Over
The Great Gig in the Sky.
3 girls actually sing, one at a time. First girl is white! Yeah, I know, right? She goes all the way up until 22:10
I have one child and she knows what music to play at my funeral. You're listening to it now, guys.
Same here. Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
It's nice to see a young person's mind actually EXPLODE to this album. There's a reason we still talk about it after all these decades.
The female vocals though, still slap!
Drugs.
this album is timeless(ironically)
@@wulfrigjones9765 Not needed, Pink Floyd's music expands the mind on its own
@@keithewrightbut much welcomed :)
I never, ever, ever, get tired of watching someone react to listening to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time. I'll never ever forget my first time and it was almost fifty years ago now and I have heard it thousands of times since. So cool!
I'll never forget my first time hearing it either. It's kind of like the "where were you when JFK..." of the 70s generation. We all KNOW where we were and who we were with the first time hearing it. It was like a religious epiphany!
You and me both. I’ve been a lifelong fan so when I saw this video pop up I had to click on it. It’s nice to see people enjoy music we thought was special, Pink Floyd is truly timeless.
@@scottford2776 You just know that you'd share a coffee or a glass of wine with others here whilst discussing the weather and other conversational ephemera. We are one here!
@@scottford2776 Yes!
1000 years from now our folks will still feel it.
If "The Great Gig in the Sky" doesn't give you goosebumps, you might be dead.
I heard it a first time when was a solar eclipse in my town and the radio played during the eclipse ... My first time "The Great Gig in the Sky" was truly Magical ...
I'm really glad that he listened to it all the way through the first time he heard it because that is the way it is intended to be listened to. It's like a classical symphony; it's made of many movements but it's all one piece...
Unquestionably one of the greatest works of music ever written...
Well said my friend.
Back then we listened to the WHOLE album as an experience. No one hot song and a B-side to sell the album.
A Pink Floyd album is meant to be listened to in its entirety. It's an ethereal musical journey.
Doesnt matter if you're a metalhead, if you like country or hiphop or even classical music, this album is in everyone's top 5 who listened to it
as someone in that “even classical” category, yes
As a hip hop fan I agree
Yeah, when I heard him say that, I thought, "Yes. That is a perfectly rational, reasonable, normal response shared by most people." You can't argue aesthetics, but it's pretty clear that this album is Objectively Excellent. Undeniably one of the best ever made, on every level you care to name.
This, Animals or The Wall
@@waterbakey4330 See, I've always considered Wish You Were Here their best album.
Oh my! I’m 60 years old now. Been listening to this beauty since I was a kid. Still has the same igniting and soporific effects on my brain. No drugs needed. Just wonderful ❤
I hear you, maatlove597. I'm 64 and I grew up with this music. This brings it all back in all it's beauty.
100%.
49 and same grew up with this album.
I’ve got a 10 spot on you girl, The heartbeat especially at the end can be sleep inducing, but I felt and still feel a little Mother Earth gets you very “Comfortable Numb” listening to any Floyd.
Finally someone reacting to a whole Pink Floyd album. Its the only way to really do it. THANK YOU!
No thank you for watching @Stonewall554! I have more Pink Floyd album reactions on patreon as they were blocked but Animals full reaction should be available on my channel for youtube.

@@LILJ_303 This video is brilliant, my friend. You have my profound, heartfelt gratitude for this nostalgic delve into my brain that accompanied me, while I in turn accompanied you through the album. This album, perhaps more than any other in my entire life, has the most bittersweet memories of a life that may have happened when I grew up and became a man 😇😇😇😇😉😉😉😉
Pink Floyd were always an album band like Beatles, Queen and Beach Boys with Pet Sounds ect...I wish an era would come back where a suite of songs are written all belonging together and in a specific order. The Beatles really started this as before Rubber Soul and Help songs were written by unknown writers usually from the Brill Building NY with your hit song and a load of crap bundled together so they could charge more money for...lol. It was the UK that really pioneered the suite of songs where they all sounded correct and belonging together. Nobody is writing albums anymore and I wish that format was brought back so you could buy the art piece as a whole thing.
You can't really put this album on and pick out a couple of songs...You really need to have the mood take over you and listen to it as a musical masterworks that it truly is.
As a 63 year old Army vet, this album was my first album purchase, when it came out, didn't know anything about them, but, it's still the best purchase I ever made all those years ago.. the lyric "And then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you" is so absolutely true...time keeps on ticking...this album emphasizes that very clearly...enjoy your reactions to "our" music...Rock ON!!!
We are about the same age and I bought my copy a few weeks after it hit the record stores. I was already a fan having heard Echoes from their prior album Meddle. There was one radio station in Detroit, WABX, that, at the time, would play pretty much any damn thing they wanted to and screw the commercials. So they would play the entire Echoes which was 23 minutes long. They also played tracks from Uma Guma and Atom Heart Mother to name a few. It was most definitely not a top 40 radio station. Rock on!
Time is my birthday song. Hits different every year.
Thank you for your service! I am also 63. This is an epic album!!!!!! Time flies as we get older!!!! You know that too! God Bless you !
@@shilohivy4590 ME TOO!!! My wife HATES that I insist on having it played, but the truth of it is too real.
I showed those lyrics(and then one day you find...) to a teacher back in the 1970s and it floored her. She was stunned.
Dude, I HATE these reaction videos, but YOU just made me very happy! I watched this WHOLE THING with you. That's fucked up. I'm 55 yrs old and have been listening to this since i was 7... and it STILL makes me cry. (and don't think I didn't see you get a lil emotional, yourself) Thanks, man, for going all the way through and listening to everything along the way. ❤ You just wait... you will hear it again and hear so much stuff you missed!.. and LOVE IT even more. You're a good listener. Many happy and safe travels, my friend. 🙏✌️🖖
so cool how all the folks here who posted their thoughts and insights......and we all came in on a safe landing.
The first person to cry over this album was Roger's wife, when he took it home and played it to her. That's when he knew for sure that he had something special.
I loved this reaction! Most reactors don’t do an entire album in one video, or they cut it up to reduce the total video duration. I’ve heard this album 1000 times and I still look forward to hearing it again. Thank you!
Pink Floyd are the album geniuses. Your ears will thank you if you explore their follow-on albums: “Wish You Were Here” (which you already reacted to two tracks), “Animals,” and “The Wall.” Even if you just listen to one or two songs off any of those albums, I’ll bet you’ll want to hear the entire thing afterward.
Well done 😁
I appreciate the kind words @Kyle. I cant wait to jump into their other albums!!
@@LILJ_303 , we can't wait for that either✌️saw them many times back in the 70's, oh yeah, did l tell you that l was on Acid, best way to watch them live 👍😵💫
@@LILJ_303 PLEASE DO THE LP. "MEDDLE" It's Fantastic, you'll Love it.🥰💙🌲🎁
I thought, well I'll hang out for a song or two. Here I am an hour later. Time well spent.
@@LILJ_303 I totally agree with CaroleAnn_21: try Meddle. _Echoes_ must be the best piece of music ever written.
There are really not that many real "Masterpieces" in this world...
This album is one of the few
🎸☮️💕
Everybody could, but who's to say ?
Pink Floyd ages like fine wine. It gets better as you get older. And as you learn the deep mess of the albums your mind is blown decades and decades later
Good music touches the soul. This brings a tear. A masterpiece!
It's still so relevant.
Back in the 80's a our local radio station used to run the album in it's entirety, just like you did here. It really is like one entire song. Each song flows to the next seamlessly. This is the only real way to react to these songs. Major props to you for that!
EXACTLY 💯
Our radio station every year when the Wizard of Oz was on network TV would play the full album of The Dark Side of the Moon with it because it actually sinks with it and everything going on matched what the music and lyrics was doing. Google both of them together and I'm sure you can find them synced online.
Funny enough my local Kroger grocery store used to play this album sometimes towards night time while shopping
Good bro
@99xcgax99 my dad started me n the wall lol asnd ive done the same for my spawn it just works lol
That original vocal by Claire was so good and unique that not even Claire has been able to repeat it. They've tried subbing 2 singers to do different parts of the piece and still haven't been able to come close.
It's impossible. It's like a woman trying to recreate the sound she made when giving birth.
@@joeking433 😭😭😭what type of comparaison is this
@@samionyt 😭😭😭💀
@@joeking433 I read it's sometimes interpreted as the sound a soul make when leaving it's body, so your comparaison is quite beautiful.
@@docgonzobordel That sounds real creepy to me. I just go with it being the sound of the fear, pain, and horror we all experience in life coming out in one song. But heaven will be a place where there be none of that.
That is so cool seeing you light up a blunt, especially to Floyd, DSOM.
I’m 70 and it’s a must. I have the album and a 7.2 speaker surround, with Cerwin Vegas, Marantz receiver with a Thorens turntable and Ortofon stylus.

Aside from this being one of THE most loved masterpieces in rock music, let's not forget to mention this album cover art. 50 years later and teenagers are still wearing DSOTM t-shirts. Name another album that gets this level of respect.

An incredible album about life: Birth, time, death, greed, war, inequality, insanity, the good and the bad done in such a beautiful way. In "Great Gig", David Gilmour plays a lap steel guitar. That's a saxophone in "Money" and other songs. Glad you are reading the lyrics. Suggestions for two live performances: 1) "Echoes" live at Pompeii, 1972 (when they were young, before Dark Side came out. 2) "Comfortably Numb" live at PULSE, 1994. "Up there with Snoop Dogg?" LOL! Anyway, great reaction!

Have you gone down the expensive rabbit hole to find the best version.
@@Nasorr1990 Released March 1973.
This album is a masterclass in how a brilliantly produced album should sound. Keep in mind that in 1973, there were no computers in the studio, no Pro Tools, synthesizers took up an entire wall of the studio. Everything was recorded to 2 inch tape. You didn't make too many mistakes because an edit required splicing the tape with a razor blade. The 70s produced a gold mine of great sounding records like this.
I remember when when my son was in his teens and I got in my truck and Pink Floyd was playing in the CD I said “Oh F@ck!… my son smokes weed!!”

The Great Gig In The Sky moves me to tears. It's a vocal masterpiece. ❤
She sang great gig in the sky as a walk on in one take. It will never be reproduced again, by her or anyone else. It was magical.
Exactly! Any live performances are not her.
i can’t help tear up at the last line “the sun is eclipsed by the moon” and the beautiful sound of the organ fading into the heartbeat. gosh what a masterpiece
Absolutely incredible. There's great albums out there, but not a single one can give an experience quite as extraordinary as Dark Side. It's a fucking journey into your soul.
That part makes ne cry everytime I listen to the last 7 minutes of TDSOF and I swear when I listened to that part in Rog's concert I cried like I never did in my whole life..my husband is and addict thats why I can't help myself but crying
I love seeing people's reactions to this album when they hear the full album for the first time. This album is a masterpiece that was made to be listened all the way through.
THE greatest band in the world. Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece.
The greatest ablum to ever be made. It will outlast us.
you know it
This album is about life from birth to death and glimpses of what happened in a lifetime
Modern Life it's about modern from birth to death
Clare Torry sang an entire song without using any words! Wow. She expresses what to me sounds like a vocalization of the stages of life, from birth to death, others have said the 5 stages of grief...either way one of the most brilliant vocals ever recorded.
Theres a documentary on RUclips about how it came about
She did take after take, finally this one with no words, and left the studio thinking it would all end up on the cutting room floor. Had to sue the band, years later, to get a songwriting credit!
@@tomdibble8983It's not really "take after take". This was her second take. The first one was with lyrics, the second they told her not to sing. To basically user her voice of the instrument to manifest the emotions of a dying person.
And yes, the fact she had to sue is a fucking disgrace.
Your reaction to a classic album (almost 50 years old) was a treat to watch. You showed utmost respect to a great piece of music - a fascinating response when the old meets the new. Thank you.
Hard to believe it's been around that long , makes me feel old 😁
My first time trying psychedelics was my first time listening to this album (and the band in general). I was 19. I’m almost 41 now and still they are my favorite band of all time.
I love to see people's faces the first time they hear The Great Gig in the Sky when Clair Torrey's gut-wrenching vocal explodes through the piano. Never gets old.
I was living in Paddington, a trendy precinct in Sydney Australia when DSOTM was released. You could walk down the street and every house had the windows wide open and you could hear PF blaring out of home stereos all the way down to the harbour! It was like everybody had just discovered what music was all about. R.I.P. Richard Wright.
Thank you for your memorial to Rick Wright. He made the words mean with his sounds. If there is a Heaven, they are so lucky to have him.
This album is like a spiritual experience, I have fallen asleep to it many times. I just love it.
The first track, Speak to Me, is actually the whole album condensed into the opening track. Not done before or since. A truly groundbreaking masterpiece that is still relevant today.
I’d argue paper mache on paper mache dream balloon achieves the same idea better.
@@ezrahaskard3527 That’s moreso just a medley of all the songs that came before it. I love that album and band, but recapitulation is definitely not an invention of rock music. Speak To Me is more of a conceptual overture.
But while we’re at it, I’d submit Overture from Tommy by The Who, it’s a huge mix of all the different musical parts and themes that are to come on the rest of album but is completely its own piece of music that could stand apart from the rest of the album.
Look up Overture…in general, and by the Who
A quick side note as to why this album is literally PERFECT. I just love how naturally you said “aight I think we can stop it right there” after Great Gig in the Sky, (probably?) not even knowing it’s the end of side A, leaving you with a moment to have to stop before turning the LP over during a ‘faithful’ listen. Lovely reaction!
I was scrolling for this comment!
Got goosebumps thinking about it now. This isn’t music this is something on a different level
This album really isn't just songs. It's life. In general, it doesn't matter who you are. Where you're from. We can all relate 100% to every bit of it. My favorite band always has been when I was a kid. I had an art teacher african american Who used to play only Pink Floyd during art class? This is where I was introduced to Pink Floyd in the public school system from my art teacher. And he used to tell me it's 4 than just lyrics. If you pay attention to it, you will find your life in it, which was profound.
My favorite teacher hands down one of the classiest men I've ever met.
My heads off to you Mr. Roberts. I'm 55 years old this Sunday. And I was able to enjoy this kind of music from a young age because of an teacher and I couldn't be more grateful.
So glad you enjoyed listening to this masterpiece from the best band that ever existed. If you haven't already, there are many more masterpieces to go. And, it's awesome that you are listening to the entire album at one time-the way they are meant to be heard, if possible. Subbed.
This band, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc... Yeah, but THIS BAND. I rank Pink Floyd #1.
You have done this reaction the best way anyone could ever have done this album. I praise you in your smoke, headphones, lyrics and ready to listen. Perfect!
I come back to this video often. Helps me reconnect to how I felt the first time I actually sat down and listened to this entire album. It's not something you can just put on, you have to experience it. The older you get, the harder this hits.
I saw this GOAT band three times. Each concert was an unbelievable experience. Us seniors had the greatest music EVER.
As a 17 year old I’m going to have to agree
Hands down, Dark Side of the Moon, best concert in my life!
When Jr High and High school get on my bus wearing a DSOTM. Tshirt it warms my heart. Immortal music,.
As a 14 year old, I totally agree with you
Yes we did. The best music. I have seen Floyd 5 times at this point. Never watched a bad performance.
I've listened to this album thousands of times and it moves me to tears damn near every time. This is musical perfection. Period. This is the soundtrack to my life.
I was 17 when this album was released and here I am 67 years old and still rocking out to it!
Fucking amazing
profile picture goes hard
Im 17 and this album is my favourite of all time
@@adamnabil6931 i was literally abt to reply that exact sentence
This still is and perhaps always will be in the top 10 best albums ever. Nothing can replace it, nor its significance. A masterful example of perfection embedded on vinyl.
Hey there Charles Yates. Yep, you're exactly right. For me, if I knew that I was going to be stranded on a deserted Island and I could only bring one Music CD to listen to, it would have to be this one, "Dark Side Of The Moon" for sure!
Damn it, I'm gonna triple dip. Thank you, thank you, thank you for including the live performance from PF and Clare Torry (sp). "The Gret Gig in the Sky" was a truly genius piece of music. When she came into the studio for DSOTM they told her no words, just sing about dying, and then accepting death, over the top of Richard Wright's amazing piano piece. She was eventually given writing credits (and royalties) for her contribution to the album. Clearly she couldn't get quite as high in the live performance as she did in the studio, but still a great performance.
As an aside, as a teenager I didn't get that track. I thought it was just filler material. But as I got older I started to appreciate just how phenomenal it really is. Now, 40 years later, it brings tears to my eyes every time. A true classic.
I was driving listening and waiting for his reaction when he got to it. I knew he would feel and hear right away how the words that weren’t spoken were so clear. I always well up with honest feeling when I hear certain songs. Geeat Gig in The Sky always shows my emotion and I can’t hide it. Emotional Rollercoaster on this Album.
@@Flips77Coupe me too, waiting for his reaction , looking forward to seeing the amazement at the sounds he was about to hear, and no lyrics to guide him in
I agree with every word you said- I couldn’t have said it better. It sounds like an Angel singing a sad song without using words, brings tears to my eyes. I didn’t understand it when I was a teenager ether. I am really beginning to think that this music was inspired by angelic powers that we don’t yet understand, they communicate with us- smiling at us through the veil. Just a theory..
I’m 55 and have listened to Pink Floyd for years. Their music is an experience.. I love seeing younger ppl loving these legends!! Your sound is excellent BTW
Whenever I'm wasting my time feeling lazy, bored, or sorry for myself I listen to "Time" to snap out of it. Never have I heard a song more terrifying yet inspirational.
One of the world's masterpieces. There is no equal to this album. Pure genius.
One doesn't just listen to Pink Floyd, one goes on a journey with Pink Floyd. This is what they call a concept album and is meant to be heard front to back with no interruption and eyes closed. 🙌
A masterpiece for the ages. That smooth synth you noticed is because it’s analog synth, not digital.
This is the best album ever made and there is no serious competition.
The Wall is damn close😅
preach
Nah whole lotta red beats that shit
@@redfoxyt2260 😶😭
Wish You Were Here has entered the chat
First time Pink Floyd, eh?
I'm here to tell you, you've been tagged.
I was tagged in 1972 and still get chills.
Thanks for the share.
-- Texas
As someone who has been listening to this album for the last 50 years, and considers it the greatest musical work for the same 50 years, what a beautiful reaction. Thanks so much.
This came out in March of 73. I turned 18 that month and graduated that June. I wore this album out. It was genius. Since then I've had it on 8 track, cassette and CD. One of my favorite albums of all time and it's amazing to listen to this in surround sound. The music shoots past your ears.
Thank you so much for reviewing this album with the respect it deserves. So many others have tried to pick out a track and react - this is not an album you can pick and choose - Start at the beginning and experience it all. Such an epic album.
One cannot be a true music lover if they don't like Pink Floyd. The lyrics, composition, vocals, talented instrumentation...they are masters in the language of music.
💯
Music is just a subjective thing so you cant say that this is the true music lovers taste cause there is none. But i think pink floyd have a magic that no other group have
@@shimasanjiko4241 Whether you like a particular piece of music or not is certainly subjective, but the talent in the composition of said music is objective - the combination of vocals, instrumentals, lyrics, and the general flow of a song or an album. It's a fact that Pink Floyd are masters in the production of music, and this album is a prime example of why.
@@MrJakeasaur98 thats isnr about what i said but i agree with you
@@shimasanjiko4241I think some albums by Yes and The Flaming Lips give me that feeling
I absolutely loved your reaction .. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve loved this album my entire life . I listened to it hundreds of times. I still get the same thrill every time that you got to experience for the first time and I was so lucky to watch you discover this masterpiece for the first time . I Thank you for a Magical time . Let’s do more !! Live pulse ..
Absolute Ditto. I even watched this twice⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a spectacular album. Absolute masterpiece. Albums are not made this way anymore. I'm watching your reaction on my phone, and remembering the first time I pulled the record out of my dad's collection to throw it on and be blown away. He's gone now, and I miss him terribly, but when I get home, I'm going to my media room, turning the lights down, yelling at my kids to come down, and dropping the needle on the record just to watch their faces.
I’m a 61yr old black man who’s been listening to Floyd since I was about 12 13? 73 74? Anything you do with them, just pick an album or song? Do Wish You Were Here next. It’s the next in line.
I'll be 45 in less than two weeks and then older I get, the more the lyrics to "Time" hit me in the gut when I listen to it.
Easily one of the best albums ever made and maybe THE best concept album. I plagiarized some of the words from Brain Damage for a poetry assignment in high school ('88) and my teacher was floored and begged me to let her read it in front of class. I had to say no since all my stoner friends knew it but she never looked at me the same again...good times
Heh heh heh, quality... 👏😊
Glad you liked it so much. Dark Side of the Moon was my first wife's favorite album. (She was German and passed away many years ago.)
And when you imagine that Clare Torry was just an "ordinary" hired vocalist they hired and told her "just do what you think fits", and that was her first try...
That are moments of genius that simply happen.
Funny that in the concert version she is more different than other singers doing the same part.
You might say that because for her it is what it was back then, simply an on the spot improvisation,
while the other singers try to recreate the original.
The entire album collectively tells a story from the beginning’Breathe’ to the end ‘Great Gig In the Sky’. The songs do not separate, they blend one into the next.. phenomenal group🔥🙌🏻. Best album ever! I bought my first album in 1974 when I was 16 and have bought 5 more through the years. I’m 64 now and I’ll never ever be tired of this album🔥. These guys were way ahead of their time.. not another group like them
Actually, eclipse is the end, but great gig can represent how death may be scary at first, but then you realize it’s inevitable, and you must embrace it.
@@glenhaven721 you are absolutely right! I had it wrong:-(. Thank you for setting it straight👍🏻
I was four when this came out. I listened to my parent's copy. On the run was my favorite. I'd run around the room.
It's a very early memory for me.
It's been a part of our lives for fifty years.
Crazy.
Omg Mr Gilmour noone comes close !! Thank you for always being with me..Love peace n RESPECT xxx
This youngman is why people my age (65) grew up with the greatest music of all time!! I went to their dark side of the moon tour in Phoenix in the 70s, greatest concert I've ever been to!! Great reaction!!
Please introduce your friends and family to this masterpiece!!
Hi there Carolinagallegos. I hope this "Reply" finds you Well & reasonably Happy too. It was great to read your comment. I too, was fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd, in San Francisco @ The Cow Palace in late 1973, as they were promoting their new Album, "The Dark Side Of The Moon." Much like you, for me this remains my very favorite concert of all time. They blew me away when they played my favorite song, (at that time), "Echoes." They played it all, 23 minutes and note for note, while green smoke was pouring off of the stage. Pink Floyd has a unique wat of completely filling the space that is available for music, like no others. It's sad to realize that we will never get another chance to see them in concert again?!
Keep Smiling... Cheers...
This album not only translates across the world, it translates across the universe.
I had shared many years ago this album with a joint or two and friends and it now at 75 it gives me, in my later years, a lot of pleasure to share your reaction to a great piece of art
Keeps us all young . Feeds my SOUL
His whole Universe has expanded!!!!
How LUCKY were we?? Love peace n RESPECT xx
we're still lucky to be still enjoying LIFE and youtube...who woud've guessed?! @@davidray4437
It's fascinating for an old geezer like me to see how some of the seminal music from my day can still elicit the same feelings and appreciation that it did back in the day. To me, it just proves that no matter the times, culture or current technology, great music never gets old. It just gets more special. It does my old heart good to see new generations getting to enjoy the pleasures we grew up with.
Thanks for sharing your experience! (BTW... I hope that's some good s**t you're tokin' there. That's exactly how we listened to this in the day)
This is a timeless album! Born in 81 we were jamming this in the late 90's, that was the grunge rock era,there was some crossover with the hippies of Floyd's era.
@@fiddyfamily8092 Further proof that music is the thread that binds us together, no matter a person's age, social status or life experiences. Music reaches in to the depths of our souls to elicit joy, sadness and everything in between.
27 years old man, I grew up with this music. My father made damn sure that I had some good taste. Just recently I had finally experienced this album FUCKED up on edibles. And oh boy it’s such a ride. The dissociative effects while listening to the beginning of “On The Run” was crazy man. I have a musical ear and being on the edibles just made everything pop.
@@squirreltamer2548 Your father taught you well.
truly timeless
It's fabulous that you're listening beginning to end. The way this album was meant to be listened to. The transitions are essential to telling the story.
WOW! You listened to the whole album! THIS is the way to hear Pink Floyd. This music was created in a time before cell phones, before MTV and when the odds of seeing ANYONE in concert was VERY limited. Music was to be listened to, not seen. When listening to Progressive Rock from the 70s you must hear the album versions. It wasn't music that was meant to be seen but LISTENED to with stereo systems. That is how it was crafted and so that is how it needs to be heard. Headphones are a must. Try other progressive rock from the time: Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Dan Fogleberg and Tim Weisberg, and of course Jethro Tull. Jethro Tull might be the only band in that list you might want to see but only because Ian Anderson (who plays the flute!) is just so damn entertaining to watch. Try listening to their hit Aqualung.
Gilmore's solo in Time is one of the best guitar solos in rock history imo.
UR not wrong.
I literally get goosebumps up and down my arms every time I hear it. I have it as my #2 guitar solo behind Stairway.
My Favorite Lead guitar solo of all time ! This album has been called a production masterpiece!
@Blake Suggs and you can thank Allen Parsons for it, and tried to do his own Darkside with I Robot which he should do a review of in my opinion
Indeed
2:50 "I think this is: breathe in the air?" cough cough ... priceless 😀
Dope review bro!!! All natural reactions first time ….also thanks for going back and focusing on lyrics as well! Well done!!
This has been the soundtrack of my life for the last almost 50 years! Check out Comfortably Numb live from the pulse concert (1994) you will be so happy you did!! Pretty much every song in the pulse concert is worth a listen!!
We must be about the same age because this album has been one of my favorites since it came out. I bought my first copy of that album a few weeks after it hit the record stores. I think I've gone thru four vinyl copies of that album by now. Wish I would have kept the first one I bought. It just never gets old.
Just shy of 14 in 73. I bought the album the summer of its release. My favorite all time album!
@@jackiegiannino6835 I was 15 in 1973 so we are essentially the same age. However, as my daughter once told me "Getting older is mandatory, growing up is optional". So I still listen to music turned up to 11 (except Barry Manilow, I turn it down to zero 😁)
Love that!! I always tell the kids( I work in a elementary school) that I’m a 25 year old stuck in an old body!! Lol
Classic rock!! I couldn’t even tell you a recent recording artist if my life depended on it!!
Clare Torry improvised the vocals for the Great Gig in the Sky. It was the third take. The band wasn't sure but she insisted she would not be able to better that amazing vocal. A legend was born. Nobody has matched Clare when covering the track.
Took me forever to realize that the scream at the beginning of "Breathe" is a snippet of Clair Torry's amazing singing from that song. And I was practically raised on this album. I love how you can always find new things when listening to this band.
Clare Torrey was under recognized on the album and sued to get her rightful place among the credits (along with monetary recognition) as she should be. But, you have to recognize the fact that the whole band was tripping LSD at the time.
@@michaelmassaro8532 yes, I don't believe that they deliberately tried to pull a fast one on her. They probably paid scale, as with the other session musicians. I believe the band stepped up when the lawsuit was filed, and paid her fairly.
Upstanding dudes.
I heard it was her first take. They were blown away
@@krichards212 - she did 3 takes but they ended up using the first take. It was 100% improvisation on her part. For this reason she eventually won a lawsuit for royalties for this song.
In the last week of 1979, the Philly classic rock radio station counted down the top 100 albums of the 70s, and this came in #1 in the vote. There's a solid argument that this is the #1 best album of all time.
You came prepared & understood the assignment! I love that you appreciated all the layers of this album. Fantastic reaction!
I've listened to this album hundreds of times over the years. NEVER gets old.
