Truly a transcendental experience like nothing else, as you all know....Finally this masterpiece is a part of the musical library in my head...Thank you so much for watching...See you next time for MUCH more Pink Floyd....in the past! 🥰
When your making studio albums... How do you follow that?
You take a deep deep breath and then after thinking about it you make the album "Wish You Were Here"!
Yea, why not blow people's minds twice in a row!!!
@@philshorten3221 And after that what do you do? Make Animals, of course. And after that? The Wall. I love all their albums, seen them twice, but those big four, as I call them, are among the greatest rock albums ever recorded. And will remain relevant for as long as the human race exists, because the themes are on a very fundamental human level. Brilliant
FIRST OF ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!From Italy I was 17 I have all the vinyls!!!!
Woohoo! 🥳 Thanks for being so early and first!! Sounds like you're a huge lifelong fan! Thanks for watching in beautiful Italy! 😊
you will listen Pink Floyd all your life like me 😎👍✨
You both are very lucky! Well, better late than never for me :)
@@retroreactions.... it's never too late 😎👍

Yesterday in the news, they talk about 50 years of PF Dark side of the Moon album, and they said that even today, Pink floyd sells 2000 to 8000 albums each month. 😎👍✨✨
Wow, amazing....thanks for stopping by again Gerry!
Magic, all of it just magic. The music of Floyd, Zeppelin and other will be with us until the end of time
100% facts....
Pink Floyd pure instrumental classic: Atom Heart Mother, 1970. Our good teacher drew the curtains, turned off the lights and asked us to close our eyes and listen to the pictures in our head. I've been a floydian since...
OMG, you guys had some really great teachers back in the day! Even though I wasn't in school till the 80's, I wish one of my teachers has exposed us to PF....Thanks Jan
I agree with Atom Heart Mother. The B side is great too.
Nice, 23 minutes and full orchestra right? I hear fat old sun is great too!
@@retroreactions.... One more vote 4 Atom reaction
Got it!
50 yrs old& still genius& brilliant , what today will be played in 50yrs
I had this poster on my bedroom wall like so many, thank you Pink Floyd, for everything ❤🙏💕
Pink Floyd are brilliantly different.
That's for sure, and their albums can certainly be different from each other, each still being brilliant! Thanks Paul...
@@retroreactions.... Thank you for a great reaction.The album before DSOTM is called Meddle and on that album is a one sided track called echoes . That track was the turning point in PF musical journey, it made the people sit up and listen, who are these guys, the rest is history . I would like you to do echoes from the album if youu have time.there is quite a few live versions, but listen to the studio version first.
Well, great news for you Paul, I have reacted to 3 versions of Echoes on this channel! Studio, Pompeii and Gdansk! I hope you enjoy :)
@@retroreactions.... Sorry I didn't know.
No need to apologize....at least you don't have to wait hehe....
I'd like to thank you for adapting to the situation. An epic album deserves special treatment!
You came through for us, and we appreciate it. Thanks, Brandon!
Thanks Robert...think it worked out pretty good for my first full album listen..won't be the last! and of course I will always try to improve....Really appreciate you watching and all your support :)
So true Robert, you’re spot on there.
Out of body experience shared 🙏totally blown away again...
Thank you so much Yves and so glad you shared the experience with me....
I got the afternoon off unexpectedly and get to watch & listen to this. Takes me back to being 15 every time I hear it. 👏🏼🤗🔥🎶👍🏼
Woohoo! Hope you enjoy, I sure did haha Thanks my friend... :)
@@retroreactions.... I did and could tell you did, too! Great reaction as usual. 🤗
:)
They aren't a rock band - they are in a genre known only to them . how can you go from Money to Us and Them to Any Colour You Like ?!! 3 completely different sounds . I always think of the old saying - you don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd , you need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs
...and seamlessly, to perfection even! love that saying, so true! Thanks David
What were those noises in my ears? Is that what they call music?.... Fabulous! I love Genesis but this album is perfect from start to finish. Note perfect emotional melodies and lyrics as meaningful (and audible) as you're ever likely to hear. Best ever for me!
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor.
And everyday The Paperboy brings more.
Greatest album by the greatest band ever! There's no one like Pink Floyd. So awesome to see live and I'm so thankful to have seen them a couple times.
Thank you for listening to this album the right way. Great reaction!
Agree!! Glad you got to be in the presence of greatness! Thanks for all your support 😊
Brandon, I've seen you shaken with several other masterpieces you'd reacted to previously, but I'd never seen you as much shaken as you were this time. Of course, that was predictable: "The Dark Side of the Moon" hits anyone like a runaway bulldozer on first listen. Been there, done that --- only, in my case it was 50 years ago, but I still remember it. And it was all so fresh, so new, so original, so unique... Take any of the other great prog rock bands --- Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Moody Blues, Focus, you name it. They're all different, but their sound still has something in common, even if it's hard to define. But Pink Floyd sets itself apart, and within their work, "The Dark Side" is unique even for them and defies any classification. It's a sensory overload that needs time to digest and assimilate. As I told you before, that took me MONTHS of repeated listens!
This time the evil B-movie mad scientist in me started laughing hysterically and sadistically when the long instrumental section of "Money" began... I knew you had listened to "Money" before, but only superficially, and I knew you weren't ready for what they do in that part --- nobody is prepared for that! Again, I knew that "Us and Them" becomes a different song when heard in context, I also knew you were going on a ride through other galaxies with "Any Colour You Like" (probably the track that best showcases how Rick Wright and David Gilmour were a match made in the heavens), and I knew you'd feel disturbed with "Brain Damage". As for Beatles influence, maybe, but then we have to give a suspicious side look to Alan Parsons, who had worked on "Abbey Road" (my favorite Beatles album) as an "assistant" engineer who stole the scene.
You often hear that "The Dark Side of the Moon" is a life-changing album. Now you know that this is not an exaggeration!
So I guess I did good in the amount I caught on first listen.... :) And you are very perceptive on what you saw in me! Pretty spot on with everything. I know The Wall is different, but with 26 songs, I know it will be an unbelievable journey in itself! Thanks my friend..
@@retroreactions...., and this was a good precedent. Be prepared because that era is full of albums that need to be listened whole. For example, when you get to Mike Oldfield, all his first albums ("Tubular Bells", "Hergest Ridge", "Ommadawn", and "Incantations") had no track division, just whole undivided sides, and by their own nature and style they contain such different passages in succession that you can't just cut them arbitrarily. His late masterpiece "Amarok" (a record that many people hate on first listen, others find just okay, but after several listens it almost invariably ends up becoming most fans' favorite Oldfield album --- me included), was released in 1990, already in the CD era, and it has ONE single 60-minute track with no division at all.
(There is a media player program for Linux called the Amarok Player that was born exactly out of a programmer fan of the record who wanted a media player that could accept scripts to arbitrarily divide long tracks into many. No such software existed, so he wrote it.)
Then there are Camel's masterpiece, "The Snow Goose", which must also be listened whole, and The Who's legendary rock opera "Tommy", whose tracks lose meaning if not played in sequence. And you CAN listen to the separate tracks of Jean-Michel Jarre's great early albums (before he became cheesy and vulgar) --- "Oxygène", "Equinoxe", "Magnetic Fields" (probably the best record to listen with headphones ever recorded!) --- but they sound much better in the proper sequence.
In addition, there are also many whole-side tracks like "Echoes" by other groups, such as Focus' magnificent "Hamburger Concerto" (it's highly unfair that they're remembered today only for the crazy yodelling in "Hocus Pocus", those flying Dutchmen were AWESOME!), ELP's legendary "Karn Evil 9" (on vinyl, the track actually ended side 1 of "Brain Salad Surgery" and then continued as the entire side 2), and Mike Oldfield's "Crises" (from the homonymous album, whose side 2 is divided into several pop songs, but side 1 is just one long instrumental suite that contains some of the best synth work I've ever heard).
Sounds like I'm gonna need a Patreon soon for all these full album musts!
I defy anyone to name a more expertly crafted, sublimely emotional album side than this. From the jangling coins and funky bass of Money to the ethereal chorus and fading heartbeat of Eclipse, this is musical perfection...exquisite.
Totally agree!
Referring to some madness in all of us, you think?
Oh, and he did say "There is no dark side of the moon really, as a matter of fact it's all dark" at the very end.
@@retroreactions.... "Got to keep the loonies on the path."
Takes me to a whole new time and place. It's been an amazing 50 years.
We will celebrating the 60th anniversary before we know it, and I'll be at 100K haha....
Cute and funny!!!!!!
It's nice to dream... :)
@@retroreactions.... Well, you are doing great regardless. 🙂
Thank you!
Masterpiece!! Definitely my all time favorite album out there. Enjoyed your reaction to this one. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more of Pink Floyd down the road.
Hello Dale...thanks again. More Pink Floyd is the only way to go!!
..wonderful ! :) what can be said? Except, listen again & again in a few years
Oh you bet I will be!
I don't know if anyone has talked about the people talking on this album. Roger and the band gathered everyone at Abbey Road Studio and put them in a booth with a microphone and showed them Que cards with questions. Do you think you are going mad?, Are you frightened of dying?, Why are you frightened of dying?, Have you ever thumped someone?, Do you thing you were in the right?, Do you still think you are in the right?, and What do you think of the Dark Side of the Moon?
Nice, always thinking beyond the box in creating their art!
The first time I heard this album was when my music teacher sat us in a circle and played it in her music lesson the week it came out! A vivid memory.
Woah, how cool was she! I wonder how different I would have felt hearing this as a child?
Wow! What grade? And did she make the room dark? 😉
Hopefully!
@@helenespaulding7562 I was 10.
While reflecting listening to
Us and Them, I was thinking how much my grandmother loved the song. And she was born in Sweden in the 1800s.
My father liked Pink Floyd. And I remember he couldn't get enough of Rodger Waters on an island. He was nearing 100 when he died 15 years ago.
So when they talk of Pink Floyd being multi-generational or timeless. There's an example going back over 130 years.
It would seem good music and musicians are indeed timeless.
✌️
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this wonderful info Ozark!
Great reaction man. This is the album that first introduced me to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd in 1973, I was 17 years old. I was in a Rock band in those days playing locally, and David Gilmour made a huge impact on me and my playing.
Imagine a young aspiring guitar player at 17 years hearing, the "Dark Side of the Moon" album for the first time?!?! Saying it was a life altering experience sounds a bit dramatic, but it was for a young Rock Guitarist in 1973!
Today I'm 66 years old and I still play my Stratocaster, (among other guitars), every day through my Marshall amps. One day I'd love to get a small 20-watt Hiwatt amp, the amp brand that David Gilmour used/uses, although he used two Hiwatt DR103 amps,100 watt each!
Interestingly, Pink Floyd performs the whole "Dark Side of the Moon" album, from beginning to end, in order, at their 1994 Pulse Concert at Earls Court London. What a performance it is, seeing them play this iconic album live is just incredible!
Thanks Scozz...You had the ultimate musical role model! Side 2 is up on the channel already in case you didn't see! Yes, I'm really anxious to see all 10 songs at Pulse, will blow my mind no doubt! I should probably save it for a reaction though haha...
50 years of experiencing this transcendental album is not enough. I can go two more life times listening to this album.
I'll drink to that!
@@retroreactions.... thank you for allowing us all to relive our first time experience listening to this master piece through you. 🎼🎼🎸🎸🤟🏽🤟🏽
Pleasure was equally mine!!! Really appreciate you watching and the comments/compliments!!!
Great reaction. This album is truly one of a kind. I saw Pink Floyd live twice on their Dark Side tour (Cincinnati and Miami). They were beyond incredible.
Thank you! Very lucky...missed my chance in '94 and onward...
You can see the entire Dark Side of the Moon performed on the Pulse concert DVD.
Yes, I am so excited for that! To see this album transformed on a live stage with all that energy and elements to further bring it to life! Thanks Steven...
Well that is one of the best ways you can listen to this particular album, with someone else listening with you, just as intensely, knowing they are there while you feel this experience. Ha! For many years now, the first transition is the Saturday night out come Sunday morning preparation for mass.
When the music is good, the lyrics can wait, that's when they have more impact. That's the way I usually digest them.
Thankyou once again for sharing your time with a splendid execution of a listen/comment.
Wow, thank you so much for your wonderful compliments...that makes what I do here so rewarding and satisfying and gives me much motivation!
And a happy birthday to David Gilmour 💙
LEGEND for all time...!
I love that you said you loved the transition from money to us and them and me thinking wait for the next one...
Yes!! Perfection...
Just what this rainy day in Georgia needed! Love your reactions and the respect you give to the music. PF were masters of music in every sense!
Hello! Thank you so much for your always wonderful comments Detroit Lady!!!
Some of us have enjoyed Pink Floyd for over 50 years.
We all hope everyone can do that as well.
If I make it to 97.5 I will be one of those haha...
@@retroreactions....
You hide it well
50 years and I'm still enthralled! I had a 74 Jag XJ6 that I traveled the country in when I was racing motorcycles. The ONLY 8 track cassette was Dark Side and I would put the Jag on about 100 and roll. Life doesn't get any better!!! I share this experience with millions of other humans all over our beautiful planet and will never tire of the wonder of it all.
Great memories Mark! I will do the same in 2023 in my car at some point!
Let me virtually hug you. Thank you so much 💚💚💚
Aww, thanks! 🤗
I was already a Floyd fan when I first heard this album way back in '73. I was playing in bands then, dreaming of being a rock star. I thought I was going ok, the band I was in was packing out clubs & pubs etc but when I listened to Pink Floyd, I knew I wasn't in the same universe as these brilliant musicians. I'm now a 73yo ex drummer & I still get chills listening to Pink Floyd after all these years. I'm loving that guys like you & many others are just discovering & loving the genius that is Pink Floyd! Their music will live on forever!!
Forever for sure. Glad you had the experience of performing for the public...I can't really say that sadly...It's been such a fun and awe-inspiring journey so far!!
Another great and thoughtful reaction. Well done with spotting The Beatles influence. The line ".. and if there is no room upon the hill" is homage to "Fool on the Hill" from the iconic Sergeant Peppers album from 5 years earlier, and which was being recorded at Abbey Road at the same time as PF were recording their Piper at the Gates of Dawn album in the adjacent studio. I think David Gilmour sneaked in and watched the Beatles recording "Lovely Rita" and he has always held them up as the Gold Standard.
Thanks RogerM9!
Great reaction there, you've been on what will be the first of many a visit to the Dark Side...only not the space movie one😊. The Pulse version is a personal favourite with (then) cutting edge tech and an insane lightshow. The 70's audio only versions available are incredible too bearing in mind it was all getting on for 50 years ago, 70's sound kit and recording. Pulse is quite 'clean' but the 70's versions have a bit of a raw edge. Either way, you're listening to a faithful-as-possible live recreation of a whole album, which is simply wonderful and top notch musicianship.
Oh I can't wait to watch DSOTM Pulse!! If it's anything like the 3 I've heard.....
"There is no Dark Side of the Moon really.
Matter of fact it's all dark"
The way they use these detached seemingly dissonant voices deep in the background to round out the album lyrically, philosophically, and one could argue, musically, is sheer genius. It's akin to some separate subliminal track going on in your head that helps you interpret the material on a subconscious almost visceral level. Not to mention adding an almost ghostly atmospheric aspect - perfect for sending the imagination off in all directions with or without your consent depending on your sobriety. 😏
Pure artistic genius. They'll never be another.
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..." - "Speak to Me"
👍👍👍
What a great analysis of all the spoken dialogue....thanks!
You really can't find a better ending to an album than the last two songs on DSOTM. Pink Floyd really knows how to end an album, but man was it perfection.
Agree, perfect end to the epic journey...
"It's all dark" is actually reassuring to me. It's like "You've seen through the illusion of false light and found the freedom of true emptiness"
Interesting take....thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Was certainly my pleasure and thank you for watching!
@@retroreactions.... Oh no, thank YOU for those genuine reactions! You realize your life has changed in some way, don't you?
Oh yes, especially with this album and PF in general...but really my musical mind has changed greatly for the better in the short 2.5 months that I've had this channel!
@@retroreactions.... Now, after you finish PF, or when you have the time, you have to react to Stromae (the Belgian singer I told you about a couple weeks ago). Very catchy music BUT very profound lyrics, socially speaking, and English captions are available on YT... 🙂
Good reactions Brandon keep them coming I also fairly new to pink floyd I new brick in the wall but heard breathe on a local radio station thought who's this have not stopped listening to the pink floyd brilliance its incredible music what a journey
Thanks so much steve!
trivia: Pink Floyd recorded their first album at Abbey Road in the studio across the hall from where Sgt Pepper was being recorded
So iconic! Thanks Yitzchak
IMHO the greatest concept album in history. It is brilliant in so many ways, the subject matter relates to every human on the planet which is delivered to the listener so concisely, so ingeniously & so appealingly. So unique, brilliant writing, playing, production, so innovative, imaginative......... A timeless classic!!! Definitely check out the live version on "Pulse" it is phenomenal! Also check out the remaining tracks from their other masterpiece which followed "Wish you were here". "Welcome to the machine" is mesmerising, Rick's synth work is so beautiful & powerful, the satirical "Have a cigar" with guest lead vocalist Roy Harper & the classic title track. Keep enjoying the journey, cheers.
Can't wait to hear this album from Pulse! Wish there were many more hours in the day and more days in the week!
Love it all! Great reaction and totally agree it needs listened to and experienced many many times. I always took Eclipse as a complete celebration of one's life and personhood, but with the gloom of darkness overhanging ones experience (e.g. mental illness). It could also be homage to Syd.
Hi Jim. Yes top 2 on my wish list are hearing while laying down in the dark, and blasting it in my car on a road trip! Thanks for watching...
Pink Floyd is rock music raised to high art...they are their own genre
Absolutely! Thanks for watching dave!
The transition is the most amazing. Thank you
MONEY: probably you have listened the video or single version - thanks - beautiful react
one of the few albums to have been played live before being recorded in studio...it can be found on many bootlegs before 73...
Thanks fifi
i am glad i lived through the first half century of this album. i have to wonder how people will react to it on its 100th anniversary. i wont be here,but i'm sure it will still be affecting them as it does us.
Hi Danny, love your profile pic!! Go Felix! Well, if I'm alive at 97, I'll do another reaction video to it for the 100th lol.....I'm sure it will be even more praised depending on the state of music at that time, which is a bit scary to speculate about! Thanks so much for watching and commenting...
Well, nothing new to say. The best album in Space Time... I'm glad you enjoyed your journey.
Thanks for watching Garry!
At the end of money “cruising for a bruising” is said by Linda McCartney. Paul and her were there at Abbey Road when the album was being recorded and that voice is hers.
So cool....so by marriage The Beatles are directly included on Dark Side haha....
I could listen to this album over and over, and I do. Have you done a full album reaction to Wish You Were Here?
Hi Mary! Thanks so much for watching. I have not, but I have reacted to 3 songs individually...the only 2 I have not heard are "Welcome...." and "Have a Cigar". Someone said I should still do a full album reaction at some point, will keep that in mind...
@@retroreactions.... Yes, you should. That would be great.
Love the background fits perfectly! I always said you need to listen to this shooting thru space!
Thanks Chris...I love my cosmic universe backdrop....reserved for Pink Floyd only of course 😊
….In just thinking what would be the sweetest keyboard/synth treat I could point you towards…. Put an earmark on Patrick Moraz “The Story of I” (Indulgent no doubt….but mesmerizing, mad and brilliant”
This won’t be on many folks radar….but it should be…
…
Yep, ‘It’s all dark’, Brandon. Well, that’s my third full listen in 24 hours. I must be celebrating something.
50 years after I bought my Album. What a experience it is eh. So special. Goosebumps every time.
Can’t wait to see ‘The Australian Pink Floyd Show’ this year again. As in celebration of the 50th Anniversary, they’re playing the whole Album straight through, from beginning to end. Glad you’ve enjoyed finally hearing this ‘Genius of a Masterpiece’, straight through, Brandon. 🎶❤️🎶
Much to celebrate, especially for a huge fan like yourself! Thanks as always Eddie!
@@retroreactions.... You’re welcome Brandon. Thanks for your very interesting comments too. And sorry for mentioning’Aussie Floyd’ again. It’s just that I hope you are able to one day catch them, if you chose to that is. They really do keep the whole Floyd experience alive. Musical perfection, the light show and the big round screen visuals. (Remember what Nick Mason said about them). Anyway, keep enjoying.
Thank you. 🎶❤️🎶
My concert plans are mostly on hold for the foreseeable future, so not really sure, but is there a performance you'd choose for me to check out on my own now on RUclips? I bet they do a mean Dogs!
@@retroreactions.... Brandon, would you believe they don’t currently have a video of ‘Dogs’. But, I could certainly send you a couple of links to other Classics, if you like? There’s plenty of others.
sure thanks!
The recently released 1972 Pink Floyd concert tour recordings which are available on streaming services, 17 concerts in all, feature fascinating versions from Dark side of the moon while still in development. Bootleg quality but fascinating to hear how the songs evolve over the course of the tour and then how they compare to the studio versions which would be recorded the following year. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
And thanks so much for watching Andy! No video releases of those '72 shows?
@@retroreactions.... Not connected to these official releases but maybe elsewhere on youtube.
OK thanks
@@retroreactions.... ruclips.net/video/T3xcxVeElYU/видео.html This live footage from 1972 will blow your mind.
@@retroreactions.... ruclips.net/video/y-mGcfWXe0Y/видео.html this also from 1972 Any Color you Like from same concert.
Fun fact: after "as a matter of fact it's all dark" if you really crank it, you can hear a snippet of a string version of the Beatles' song "Ticket to Ride."
Wow, several hidden nuggets in this album it seems...
Love the space background! Reminds me of the laserium shows in SF. Truly Epic.
Hi AM! Thank you. Yes it's one of my favorite backgrounds too. I use it for most of my Pink Floyd reactions, because they tend to take me to another universe with their music....thanks so much for watching!
SENSACIONAL!!!
😎
Actually "back in the day" the vinyl album sleeve usually had the lyrics written out and DSOTM had the lyrics 😉
I think the biggest difference is that with vinyl you have to stop after The Great Gig to flip the disc over.
This is actually a moment... after Great Gig alot of people would have benefited from a short stop.
Fun Fact.
The original recorded voice used right at the end. "there is no dark side of the Moon really, matter of fact its all dark" actually went on to say ".... the only thing that makes it light is the sun" but this was seen as a bit too upbeat and so was chopped off. I love the fact its missing but that I know whats been chopped off. There's a RUclips copy kicking around with that bit added back on😉
Oh yea, I remember now....just been so long since I've owned a record haha....yes, I think they wanted to end it dark!
👍 Dark Brandon ~ Epic ✌️
Thanks for watching!
Could we prevail upon you to do the same treatment to Wish You Were Here in the future????
BTW…..beautifully done reaction, Brandon! kudos! 🤗
That would be cool, but I've heard 3/5 of it...guess that's not a big deal if I give a disclaimer....Thanks so much for watching and for the compliment!! ♥
Side two has a strong early Moody Blues vibe.. I could imagine them playing it through back in the day no probs.
Oh nice...I have to add MB to my channel soon..Love the couple that I've heard from them!
If you're into "audio visual synchronicity" Pink Floyd works well. This album is good with horror stories, I've even seen it synchronised with someone playing the video game 'Silent Hill 3'. The lyrics would explain along with a creepy atmosphere, but a bit of lively comedy in 'Money' (broken escalator = "if you ask for a rise they're giving none away"). It reached an exciting "boss fight" climax at the end of the album then it would start all over again as the next chapter began.
A truly timeless composition that never gets old....even with all the weeks/months/years that DSOM spent on the charts, and average week now still see 8 to 10 thousand more sold. I'm soooooo glad you took this one on in the proper way - front to back - to tie all the pieces together as they were intended to be. Bravo. You are beginning to understand the genius that was PF - nothing is in place or left out unless it was intended to be that way. No band has/does/will so perfectly express the entire range of human emotions - love, hate, fear, joy, despair, anxiety, avarice, greed, and many more - all woven into sonic wonderment. Absolutely the finest reaction and analysis yet for this incredible. Thank you for giving a shit about things that went before. Watching your manner here nearly made me wish I could listen to this for the first time as well.
Thanks for the kind words as always. I am having a blast discovering so many gems on this channel. Waited way too long but now it's all paying off!
The Liverpool Empire Theatre UK 1974, my big brother took me for my 14th birthday. Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon tour....I was crying at the end..😳 they did Echoes for the encore..😊😊😊😊😊😊 some memories last forever Brandon, that one is as clear as yesterday to me..big bro got me the Meddle album for my 11th birthday 🙄 and a second hand Moog when I was 15, that I didn't have a fkn clue what to do with..🤣 after I nearly destroyed his prize Les Paul he told me to STAY AWAY from guitars and STICK to keyboards...😳 he had his own band(s) so I grew up around P.A. systems (usually on hire purchase back then from a guy called Frank Hessey who the Beatles got their equipment from, everyone in Liverpool back then seemed to be in a band , and EVERYONE went to Hessey 🤣)
I'd be crying too seeing PF live at any age! Your bro sounds amazing!
Retro Reactions the stories I could tell you about him, he was 10 years older than me, a lead singer/songwriter, guitar playing womaniser..😳 he never ran out of willing victims, including most of my mothers neighbours 😳 I remember coming through the front door on my way home from school, about 15 and I heard mothers angelic voice from the kitchen..."You DIRTY LITTLE BSTRD....SADIE GRANT? DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME LAD" she'd just found out he'd slept with her arch nemesis from across the road..🙄
WOOOOOOOOOW! Ah, the life of a musician.....
@@retroreactions....speaking of those local bands, there was one around the corner from us, they where advertising for a singer and this guy Eddie Busara popped up, he couch surfed there, the family home of the lead guitarist and basically stayed for the summer, I liked him, he was hilarious and a brilliant singer but "our Thomas" didn't get on with him 😳 he disappeared at the end of that summer, someone said he's gone down to London, I was either 9 or 10 then, fast forward 4 years..I'm looking at a new band on the telly and after a while, the singer started looking very familiar, it was the teeth actually 😳 Eddie Busara had changed his name apparently, to Freddie Mercury 😳🤣🤣🤣 my brother went "deep purple" excuse the pun...
Ummmm, where is your life story book sold at? I'd like to order a digital copy please!! WOW
Thanks Brandon….how it should be appreciated 👍
Your on track with these gents….Alan Parson’s’ engineering can’t be understated either…keep having fun…
…would recommend the same approach for Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer….and some other day maybe Romantic Warrior by Return to Forever???
When you get to Yes…must full listens would include Close to the Edge, Relayer (this one will sate your synth appetite), and what I feel is their most solid effort, “Going for the One “
Thanks again for your efforts!!!
Thanks Chuck for watching, commenting and your suggestions!
Re: Traffic.The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. The whole album is excellent. Enjoy
I do hope you go on at some point to some of Roger's solo albums, particularly Pros and Cons (Clapton on guitar!) and Amused to Death (Jeff Beck)
Also featured on Amused to Death: Marv Albert
I just found your channel this a.m. As I've made a comment or two, you were talking about the instrumental and their ability with transition. I don't think I've ever heard a band transition like them. Speaking of bands of 60's, 70's and 80's. For your own pleasure, check out their album "obscured by clouds"
I would say it's their "Instrumental" album over their lyrical albums. Glad to see a young man who seems to appreciate the music I grew up with as it was being made. Dark Side was actually my 1st concert
I remember it like it was yesterday. Have replaced that album 3 times, and still listen to it weekly ! As I've said earlier a lot of the songs was Roger missing Sid as a band member both were founding members and Sid actuallydid most of the writing if I remember correctly up to his departure. (Due to Sid's mental break) and even into the next album (Wish You Were Hear) went to that concert also. Anyway totally enjoy your channel so far and appreciate the way you break down the songs. Would like to hear your take some time on another fav.band of mine
Jethro Tull. Stay Cool......
Hi there! Welcome to the channel, really appreciate you watching and your wonderful comments/compliments!!
WOW, you're one of the very few to mention or suggest Obscured album!!! I have a feeling I'm gonna like it. So cool that you went to those iconic PF concerts, lucky!! Do you have 1 very best favorite from JT?
I can’t take credit for this, but I heard someone say-
Even 50 years later, Dark Side of the Moon still sounds like it was recorded in the future.
Logic tells me this is their best. But Shine is so excellent that I rate Wish You Were Here just a bit higher.
But we're still talking about top 5 albums of all time.
Don't forget Obscured haha.....I still think it's gonna be good too, should listen to something off it soon. And Shine 6-9, well you know how much I love that masterpiece!!
@Retro Reactions obscured by clouds is good indeed. It is less adventurous for me.
Makes sense....no PF can really be bad I don't think, just different...
@@retroreactions....
Remember to remind those who will denigrate *_Final Cut_* ... as long as you react to it too.
😊
Sempre commenti intelligenti e appropriati i tuoi caro Brandon 🔝
Anche se il mio album preferito è WISH YOU WERE HERE , DSOTM rimane sempre il più visionario, sempre attuale sia nella musica che negli argomenti trattati.
Succede solo alle grandi opere che l'inventiva e l'ingegno umano dei migliori creano.
Grazie mille per le belle parole e tutto il vostro supporto!
@@retroreactions.... mi piace molto come riesci a cogliere le sottili e raffinate sfumature di ogni suono ...Non è da tutti...😎😉🔝
siiiiii thank you! 😊💖
My friend, if the exposition Pink Floyd Their Mortal Remains come to your town, don't walk, run!! I went twice and spent over 3 hours each time🫶🙌
Nice...what is shown there?
@Retro Reactions There is so much to see and hear... it makes you go through all the eras of the band, the first period with Syd Barett all the way up to the end. There's a lot of audio-video, and the most awesome possibility is being in the presence of such legendary instruments and artifacts.
Truely amazing 👏
Sounds like heaven! I'm sure David G. will show up the day I go!!!
@Retro Reactions Make sure to let me know if that happens 😅
You will see a lot of his guitars, though, and just that is mind-blowing enough🙏
I missed it but Nick Mason did show up for the opening day 💙
Also, I will tell you right now, do not get your hopes up, even if you ask nicely, they will not let you try the Black Strat 😉 😉😉
Oh, I was mistaken yesterday when I said I had heard sound bite from the first side somewhere else - it was actually that “short, sharp shock” line I had heard! I just looked it up and it’s rather obscure, I’m not sure how I would have heard it before; I don’t think I ever intentionally listened to “The Mikado” or maybe it was on tv.
Which song was that sound on?
@@retroreactions.... - Us & Them, about the 13:05 mark in your video, you were kind of talking over it just, just before the sax solo.
Ah ok, I hear it....never heard of The Mikado... From 1885?
@@retroreactions.... - the original book was 1885 I think, there were a few movie versions, 1939, 1967 (which is probably where it came from, I’ll need to watch it.)
Oh OK, gonna listen to a little of the music now for that.. see what it's all about...I was in Pirates of Penzance on stage in the 90s haha...
You didn't hear the jam part of Money because by your description of hearing it it's obvious you heard the single which cut out the jam to make it AM friendly.
Ah, there you go! So that was an added unheard bonus then!
The wall please need your take on it
Don't know when or how, but definitely will do it!
Hi Brandon! Based on your reactions, you really need to discover Procol Harum. They were a pioneer of prog rock & influenced many of the artists you enjoy. You’re probably already familiar with Whiter Shade of Pale, but you should at least check out A Salty Dog, Shine on Brightly, Whaling Stories, Conquistador Live & Fires (Which Burnt Brightly). BTW, most of their albums can be enjoyed in their entirety, so a side at a time is very doable!
Hi there...I have heard them mentioned a bit, but it seems a lot of their famous or best work is from the 60s right? And that falls outside my 70-99 channel window. I haven't decided what to do about late 60s music yet...thanks for watching and for the info Jerry!
@@retroreactions.... Their 4th album was released in 1970, so Whaling Stories & Fires (Which Burnt Brightly) qualify. A Salty Dog was released in 1969, but you shouldn’t miss hearing it on your own. I guarantee you will be glad you did! Thanks for your reply!
OK thanks for the suggestions :) Have a great day/night!
@@retroreactions....
At the very least I would move the window to start in '68. A crucial year in many respects ... even musical: the Beatles were still united … and Pink Floyd in that two years realized the top of their extremely diverse experimental experiences: *_Ummagumma_* 1968, *_More_* (a soundtrack for the film with the same name) 1969, *_Atom Heart Mother_* released in 1970.
Congratulations on the correct approach, so for being really good at following the advice of your subscribers. I will definitely cross your next P.F. reactions and, if I succeed, I will also watch the rest of your channel. Surely your comments entice me to do so.
Thanks so much Enrico...
Money is one great easy guitar partition that i can play but i learned it from a different version, a live recording, i start playing my guitar just after the sax part and i just love cranking it up and play it along ! LoL unfortunatly i don t have my guitars anymore ! gotta bye a decent one ! used one ! my dream is to own a Gibson les paul ! lol ! 🎸😎
I have one lol but I'm sure it's a cheap one....Fender Starcaster....no clue the quality ranking, but I know I only paid 100-200 dollars max...
@@retroreactions.... Ya ? that s good at least you have a real Fender ! I don t know wich one is more expensive ? the Stratocaster or the Telecaster ? I m more a Gibson lover ! LoL ! Another dream i have since my teen years is to own a Hammond B-3 organ with a lesley speaker cabinet ! that s the real thing ! i almost had it at one time ! but i needed money and sold my lowrey organ with a lesley cabinet ! people kept calling to bye only the lesley but i would ve been stuck with the organ and sell it for cheap ! So they had no choice but to bye both ! LoL I regret selling the lesley ! they re expensive and rare ! LoL 🤓
Didn't know you play keys too! I tried guitar but was too hard for me LOL..
@@retroreactions.... oops ! i said Lesley ! it s leslie ! lol ! google hammond B3 and it will show some with the leslie lol ! there s that black guy who has a uesd one and demonstrate showing the leslie !
@@retroreactions.... Lol ! it s not as easy as it looks ! me playing ? playing is a big word for what i was doing ! i can t read music and i like or rather Would like to play for real but i never took the time to do so ! I do have a cheap keybord here but i just look at it ! whatever i can make sound out of it is what i was doing back in the early 70s ! Well if you promise not to laugh at me, i ll show you ! LoL maybe tonight ! or tomorrow ! LoL 🥴😂
Us and them quiz question. One word does not have the echoes. Without checking… Which word?
Ha, no clue...don't know the song by heart yet....I'll go with "and" lol...anyone else know?
Now that the livestock is fed, quick comment then on with the show. The album was only number one for a week.
But it remained in the top 200 for 15 years.
I'll soon check your history. But if you haven't done animals or wish you were here I'd take my pic between the two.
And don't forget those songs from their roots I mentioned previously.
Or whatever you feel. It's your experience.
I see you're wearing headphones that will keep you from getting bitched at.lol
I'm sure most of us listened at least the first time on headphones. Most early stereos couldn't do justice. In the '60s early '70s mine was a '50s heath kit with two tube amplifiers.
About the only time using headphones now is when I'm flying the plane. And I'm already wearing them for communication.
But that brings me to my next comment. I do hope you have a subwoofer creating that body resonance as well.
I paid weight penalty and put a 15 inch sub with a thousand watt amp in the plane.
But the biggest thrill, and it's like hearing much of the old songs for the first time, is listening to the surround in the den and entertainment rooms. I find it even better than headphones. And with Floyd you have sounds coming at you from every direction.
✌️
🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
Hi, yes you will see that I have reacted to most of Animals and Wish You Were Here...hope you get to catch them! Yes, I recently switched from my earbuds to high bass studio headphones..a little too much bass but getting used to it...I would love to hear a full surround mix loud in a room!!
This format is well suited to experience those particularly significant concept albums that are more than the sum of their hits. Like, this album, and "The Wall"... And works from other bands, too, that need to be heard all in one go... Like "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis, or "Tommy" by The Who. But I would resist the temptation to extend this honor too widely. You might end up wanting to experience all the albums like this, which might be a mistake given that life is just too short to waste time with decades of album-fillers. Yeah, I would use this new format sparingly. Besides, most really good songs will shime even more if removed from their duller surroundings. ;-]
Anyway, enough unsolicited opinions from me... Feel free to disregard and just chalk it up to wanting to feed the algorithm! lol
But, that doesn't mean you can't keep the "no pausing" thing going... pretty sure no one will object to that... except maybe YT. ;-]
Good solid advice Robert. Plus I'm hoping my channel will have a nice long life so can't do too many full albums at once haha.. or maybe save some of them for Patreon! Just don't know how safe no pausing/talking is, legally for copyright reasons....fair use videos are supposed to make the original music very transformed! Maybe I'll start creating parody songs like Weird Al does!! Imagine "Comfortably Glum", The Great Pig in the Sky", "Shine on you Neil Diamond", "Hippos", or maybe "Another Tick in the Wall"!!
@@retroreactions.... lol, oh please don't!
There are channels that do not pause, ever. One of the better ones, featuring 2 college students, Andy & Alex, when they do get the occasional strike on YT, they put it on Patreon but without the paywall. They also do exclusive album listens for Patreon users. A very lively community. They've been at it for a few years...
Anyway, glad you're enjoying the music, Bro!
I love doing cover songs, but would never attempt a PF for obvious reasons....Oh I love A & A....great reactors, very funny guys. I envy the fact that they are so natural on cam and don't have to do editing of their dialogue...that's the only bad and time consuming part for me as a reactor. Of course they've been at it for years like you said and I'm just 2.5 months in....thanks again
@@retroreactions.... Andy was one of my first regular reactors. You can find some of my long rambling posts on some of his earliest reactions when he was just discovering Floyd... just him in his little dorm room. Sweet kid back then. But success has gone waaay to his head. 😉
Really like Alex too. He's a natural. Great partnership.
Yes, I've seen some of his old Floyd videos... they are fun, and are killing it on Patreon!
When are you going to admit they’re the greatest. If you get round to David Bowie start with space oddity album then chronologically through to scary monsters.
I think he’s going to surprise you as much as the Floyd, maybe more, due to his influence for depeche mode. Take care my friend.
After 36 years of Deep Devotion to Depeche, don't think any band will ever knock them off that top spot! Yes Bowie on my list, should try to get to him soon, know very few of his....Love China Girl, Let's Dance of course....see ya!
Play Traffic next
Do you have a couple favorites from them?
Now : take the next step ( dark side of OZ )
Hmmm, I heard about that. Don't know much, but seems like a fan made thing? What are your thoughts?
Pink Floyd>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the rest.
YESSS!
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor.
And everyday The Paperboy brings more.
