      When you do pink floyds comfortably numb, remember to listen and watch the live version from the pulse concert, the studio version is brilliant but the pulse concert version has the best guitar solo of all time, and you get to see the magic of the light show they put on, its not just a show but an experience,

      Syd Barrett story. They were recording this and David Gilmore popped and Sydney barrett turned up. Bloated, bald and wearing green gabberdene jacket. Nobody knew who he was accept Roger waters. Richard Wright said he was haunted by his appearance. And after a brief chat he left and never came back. Gilmore returned and Richard wright told him that Syd Barrett turned up and Gilmore said that he was disappointed to miss him. And that had he been there he would give him a hug just to make sure that Syd was alright. It's in the making off documentary TV special.

    “Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage” is the best line of poetry /lyrics of all time in my opinion. I’ve had is posted on every office door I’ve ever had. I will have it engraved on my headstone. My kids know it by heart, know it’s my mantra, because in my view, courage is often the most needed yet the most difficult to come by. Be brave y’all!

      Those lyrics have never been as strong as they have over the past 2 years. I've heard that line in my head several times, And I choose a walk on part in a war over a lead role in a cage. The lyrics of Pink Floyd seems to be more relevant now than they've ever been. You can't say that about most music. Huge fan in the 70's and still am today.

    It's not casual listening. It is both universal and deeply personal. This song is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to loss and remembrance, starting with Syd Barrett. Can you imagine how many people the song represents now in the collective consciousness of all those who have listened to it? I've been listening to it for 45 years and adding names to the list of those I've lost along the way. Saw it performed back in '77, by the the original band members who recorded it. It's an elegy that almost feels like a hymn.

      This video was extremely bad and was obvious they didn't even know the lyrics and added imagery that was obviously wrong. There is a part of the song where the lyric "Lead role in a cage" and they misheard it as "Negro in a cage". It's a common mistake. People always mishear that lyric, but if your going to provide imagery to the song you should look up the lyrics.

    Pink Floyd was named after the blues artists Pink Anderson and Floyd Council by Syd Barrett, one of the band's founding members. Syd was also the subject of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". If you were raised listening to R&B, then all those old English rock bands (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc, etc, etc) listened to American blues and rock (Chuck Berry, BB King, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly) and it greatly influenced them after the devastation of WWII. So you're listening to music that you've already heard, or at least the beat and rhythm, which is probably one of the reasons why you dig this stuff so much.
    I really enjoy watching your reaction to music I grew up with. I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands.

    This song can mean so many different things to so many people. I know it's about Syd Barrett but certain lines in the song mean something to me. "Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead roll in a cage"..... My grandfather was a mechanic for the US Army in the Philippines during WW2. He was captured by the Japanese and was part of the Bataan Death March. He survived that and was a P.O.W. in Japan for 42 Months until the end of the war. So yes, he traded his walk on part in the war for a lead roll in a cage. He obviously made it out or I wouldn't be typing this. His forgiveness has taught me a very important lesson in life.

    I seen this band live one time many years ago at the old Mile High Stadium in Denver. I figured since these recordings seemed so studio produced that there would be slight differences live. I was wrong, the performance sounded just like the recordings, these guys were extremely technical and excellent musicians. There is a reason that no other bands covers Pink Floyd.

    • @venussuz69

      Other bands cover them, but not well. The intricate guitar work, the sax, organ, drums and every other instrument used - the guys in the band know the feel, taste and smell of these songs as well as the sound. I've never seen another group reproduce the feeling of being at a PF concert. I've only been to two, then saw Roger Waters play solo, but there is Nothing like live Floyd. I'm glad you were fortunate enough to experience them. And at Mile High in Denver? Must have been a hell of a show!

    Pink Floyd,Led Zeppelin, and the forest got me through my high school years. Most kids claimed to listen to it and get stoned to it like it was a milestone, something to be cool. For me though and I’m sure there were others just going through personal hell, growing up music was a friend, a confidant. My dad, before he was absent, introduced me all kinds of music from Memphis blues to outlaw country then everything in between. Peaking my interest in all music was the greatest gift he could have given me.

    This song is an homage to the band’s inspiration and founder Syd Barrett. He suffered a mental breakdown and left the band. Several years later he showed up at Abbey Road Studios, by sheer coincidence, the day they were recording this song. Sadly, he was so physically transformed no one even recognized him. When the song was complete, he was lucid enough to understand its meaning and slipped out the door before the band even knew he’d been there. To Pink Floyd’s credit, they made sure he received his royalty checks up until his death around 10 years ago.

    • @73challenger5031
      @73challenger5031 3 года назад

      Roger wrote these lyrics and David sang them, beautifully, as he always has! I don't know why Pink Floyd's songs are such a mystery to everyone when Roger made a movie (The Wall) about all of it. He grew up without his Father, who died a hero, defending a post in WWII. His Mother smothered him because he was all she had left and he struggled to break free of her grasp, with all the guilt any Mother's Son could bear. Through all of Roger's fame and fortune, he held onto the guilt of being rich and famous for not doing anything but being a Rock Star. Hence the line: "and did you exchange the walk-on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage." The cage, being trapped in his stardom.

    Led Zep and Pink Floyd are the top bands in my book but with completely different sounds and vibes. Both bands were masterful musical geniuses at evoking emotions. No matter who you are, where you are or your current mood - Their tunes simply engulf and carry you away - to a different mindset and to other places, spaces and times. That’s what sets a band apart from being real good to being a top legendary band for decades. 🔥💎🔥💎🔥💎🔥
