The Dark Side of the Moon album remained on the sales charts constantly longer than any other album in history, staying on the charts for FIFTEEN YEARS!
I ain't saying better but definitively you must hear Radiohead. Professional musicians and musical theory experts say they are even more complex, experimental and risky musicians. I have one thing clear: they are the worthy brand new "Pink Floyd" in so many aspects.
My kids say the same thing. NOTHING LIKE OUR GENERATIOINS MUSIC. It was really JUST ROCK AND ROLL. PARTY, PARTY, PARTY. LOL Oh, I did see them live in 78. THEY WERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. AND WE KNEW IT.
The song Money by Pink Floyd was released when I was 20, over fifty years ago! I was a junior in college and could not see how music could get any better! Never ever give up on pink floyd!
I began with PF in high school. Gilmour joining the group and Waters taking the lead on writing lyrics launched the unimaginable. So I’m 55 years into their music. I may age all together but Pink Floyd is timeless
"All of those sounds" come courtesy of genius DSOTM Sound Engineer and legendary recording artist Alan Parsons. You've reacted to "Eye in the Sky" by his group, "The Alan Parsons Project". One of their songs that is reminiscent of the grittiness of Pink Floyd's "Money" is "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You". Also check out The Alan Parsons Project songs "Time", "Games People Play", "Breakdown", and "Old and Wise".
He also react to one of my all time favourites with Parsons in the booth: Al Steward's YEAR OF THE CAT. This man has magic! OH! And with The Beatles!!!
I only heard "Money" many years after listening to the entire Alan Parsons Project back catalogue many, many times over and I almost thought it was an APP track! Some research came up with the Alan Parsons connection of course and it then made sense. Never been a Pink Floyd fan though - APP were better IMHO :-)
The song “Time” from the same album as this is wonderful. Really makes you think about the time we have here and encourages us to get a move on with what we want to do. 👍🏼😀
Great choice Jay. Anything off of Dark Side Of The Moon is brilliant. The only thing that's strange for me is listening to an individual track. I've never done that! For me if you play DSOTM, it starts with Speak To Me/Breathe and ends 43:09 later with Eclipse. Brilliant album, great reaction ✌🇦🇺🙃
The true beauty is the natural talent and zero digital recording. All of the sound was reel to reel 8track and loops had to be cut and spliced by hand. No computer showing where to cut, either. This is 3 levels higher that ANYTHING done today. You could not find 3 people on the planet that can do this today.
This is the song that turned me on to hi fidelity. I grew up poor and while I absolutely loved music, I had never heard a good stereo. Then I needed a ride home from work one day (back in 1978) and my buddy offered to help me out. I sat in the passenger seat of his 1969 Camaro SS and as we pulled out of the parking lot, he played this through his after market Alpine deck at very high volume. I had never heard music the way it was supposed to be heard before and this masterpiece instantly put me on a mission to get a good stereo.
Really cool part of this song is the second verse is also the poem in Another brick in the wall, the one the kid is writing and the teacher reads out. Always love this little fact 👍 "Money get back / I'm all right, Jack / Keep your hands off my stack / New car / Caviar / Four star daydream / Think I'll buy me a football team."
I grew up on this. Smoking a nice herb and sipping on a smooth beer at the lake as the tunes pumped out of my buddies quad stereo system in his custom van. Chillin with our girls…good times. You owe yourself to get comfy and listen to the entire album from beginning to end without stopping. Do it bruh, I dare you.
Most likely that "sound" is Gilmore's guitar run through an old reverb amp. Back in the day, reverb effects like that were made by running the sound through a metal box with two long springs strung across it. That's the springy sound you hear. The reverb box usually sat in the bottom of the amplifier just below the speaker. So if you happened to bump it, it would sound like lightning. It's old technology from the vacuum tube era. But, delivers a sound hard to reproduce digitally. CCR used it a lot too.
I've told every reaction youtuber to watch have a cigar....they just won't do it......they should watch the lyrical video so they know the words...also pink floyd run like hell....with lyrics....NOT THE LIVE VERSION.
As a kid I loved “I am just a new boy, stranger in this land” I can’t remember the song name but Omg I loved it so much and listened to my Pink Floyd tape of this song all the time!
Jay - I'm loving the diversity that you're coming with today. You've got this one - a CLASSIC - the Beasties 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn'; and Adele. To me, that is an incredible time capsule of three VERY different time periods and genres...AND YET - I, and I hope many of your viewers, can have a serious appreciation for ALL of them. Keep up this great work, young gun. Luv ya!
This album sold gazillions of copies..I wonder how many people noticed the prism is only split into 6 colours and not 7 ! (for many years,the prism had only 6 colours evident as the indigo/violet elements were hard to differentiate in the printing process..this was amended years later when the printing process was different to what was used before)
Hey Jay, that noise you were asking about was done by a wah wah pedal (I think). The noises at the beginning were from a cash register tape loop, the sounds of tearing paper and bags of coins being thrown into an industrial food-mixing bowl. This album stayed on the Billboard Top 100 for 778 weeks. That's 14 years! The people you can hear talking at the end came from interviews they did with random people, their road manager and Paul & Linda McCartney. Amazing stuff! ✌🇦🇺🙃
not exactly a wah, closer to a vibrato effect, an effect built-in to some older amplifiers, but it cuts the volume out in quick repetition, the frequency that it cuts out can be adjusted for different effects, more commonly used in older guitar sounds from the 60s. was also used on the vocals in "crimson and clover" by the shondells.
@@peterwalsh2470 Thanks Peter. I'm not a musician but my older brother is an excellent guitarist. I knew I'd heard him make similar sounds but I wasn't sure about the how. Your explanation was great and I get what you said ✌
@@peterwalsh2470 Oh, manO.O Crimson and Clover. That takes me waaay back. I used to smoke or trip and jam that with the first actual best friend I ever made. I used to listen to rap back then. I met the dude and he took me to his house, and he had a massive shelving system hanging on his wall with 5,000 cds on it. It was all classic rock. From Airplane to Zep and everything inbetween. He had everything. Changed my perspective on music forever. Good times. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Jay: I have to give you kudos my friend. You always seem to catch the underlying amazingness that was the music of my life. I Wish you could have been there with us to enjoy it when it really happened. We definitely had the best music. 50's, 60's 70's and 80's.
Lyrics: "Money" Money, get away Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K. Money, it's a gas Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash New car, caviar, four star daydream, Think I'll buy me a football team Money, get back I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.

@@marcieharreld286 I'm 53. We both got to grow up to some wickedly good music. And you got to hear The Beatles as the records were released! That must have been fantastic! They broke up when I was 3, the rotters 😂
The voices at the end are interview with some of the road crew and Paul and Linda McCartney! This was recorded at Apple Studios and they where there when they where doing those recordings.
Oh, didn’t know that. I thought it might have been just some random bar room chatter. I read that Roger used to walk around and secretly record people talking on a cassette recorder under his jacket. Other candid snippets they used came from those I believe.
The ultimate band - no-one comes near them and I doubt any band ever will. They have been in my life for 60 years. My mother was listning to Pink Floyd when she gave birth to me - what a welcome to the world, and I have listened to them since. This is my favourite album
IN 1973 THIS SONG KICKED ASS, LOVE THEM 70s baby ,, THANKS JAY FOR COMING BACK TO THE 70s.. THE BEST DECADE EVER FOR GREAT MUSIC LIKE MONEY BY PINK FLOYD ,
I remember being a kid ( 8) in 1968 and my best friends older brothers were always listening to this song when I went to visit her. I learned serious Rock from those two. You had to listen, they played this so loud. We loved it. Would dance in her living room. Again, I am 61 now and I never tire, EVER from hearing Pink Floyd. Finally heard them in concert also and the pig was flying high above in the Old Sombrero in Tampa. You can NEVER go wrong listening to the Album “ Dark Side of The Moon. Keep rocking Jay!
This was the first song I ever heard in Stereo headphones in the very early 1970's. After hearing music on Mono all my life, this was literally mind blowing. Went right out and bought a Stereo.
The main theme of the Dark Side of the Moon album is “what drives people crazy”. If work can drive people crazy; (Breathe). If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy; (On The Run). If the time that passes too quickly can drive people crazy; (Time). If the inevitable end, death can drive people crazy; (The Great Gig In The Sky). If money can drive people crazy; (Money). If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy; (Any Color You Like). If what a soldier endure on a battlefield can drive people crazy; (Us And Them). All of this can certainly result in; (Brain Damage). Even though the bright side of the moon may be eclipsed; (Eclipse). But anyway, (I'll see you on the dark side of the moon).
It’s so amazing and satisfying for me to watch people’s reactions to Pink Floyd music today, i had the pleasure to see them in concert (my first) when i was 16 in Vancouver Canada 1974 and had no idea that they would become one of the best bands on the planet! Thankyou 😊😊.. I wish i kept the $18 ticket stub
Do a long episode listening to Jean-Michel Jarre's "Equinoxe" or "Oxygene". You get stuff flying over your head, round the back of your head, past your eyes, in one ear through your head and out the other ear, you get my point. Just close your eyes and relax while the incredible sci-fi sounds give you an auditory experience.
Agreed, my friend. In my very humble opinion, Jean-Michel Jarre is the Grandfather of modern electronic music. Your suggestions are excellent. Absolutely mesmerising stuff ….
Wow!!! what an impact reaction!, id forgotten just how MASSIVE this track actually is and i've heard it a 1000's times in so many years. A lesson for US in remembering what was truly great and influential within music through the medium of being able to watch a new generation cast their judgement. I'm floored!
Had forgotten how good this was. Thank you for re-introducing me to this one. Brilliant reaction too, your enthusiasm is infectious and caught me up. You are the bomb Chief.
PINK FLOYD, "MONEY" , THIS IS THE SONG THAT INTRODUCED PINK FLOYD TOO THE WORLD.. FOLLOWED BY ONE OF MOST ICONIC ALBUM EVER MADE.. "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON"... The sound you ask about is the electric guitar..
Oooh, you picked a good one, Jay. Love the time signature of this song; that slightly off-putting clever 7/8. Creates that tension and urgency. An immaculately produced song.
I used to listen to this and “Momentary Lapse of Reason” on my Walkman cassette player while in college in the late 80s. The songs totally envelop your brain.
The UK might be very small but it's HUGE in music...Pink Floyd, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, E.L.O., UB40, The Police, The Kinks, Slade, Queen, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues, The Pet Shop Boys, Simply Red, The Who, Bad Company, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, etc, etc, and I'm only including some bands that came to my mind here.
That what I was thinking, we also had groups like Genesis, Greenslade, The Jam, T. Rex, The Bee Gees, singers like David Bowie, Kate Bush, Amy Winehouse, and on and on.
It’s a damn shame people only getting to hear this perfection that is Pink Floyd. I used to listen to DSOTM on repeat for many years. Guess we all have to start somewhere. This is the first track I heard by them when I was 9 years of age. It blew my mind! Never looked back. Still my favourite album of all time.
You should watch their move The Wall, its amazing. The best way to listen to Floyd is in a quiet room with the lights low and no distractions, you end up hearing and experiencing so much more.
Instruments all over the place in your head, STEREO TRICKS MAXIMUS!!! This is why people explored other Floyd songs! Other bands like Queen and too many others, made it their mission to blow your mind, on or off drugs! Amazing work on this game changer!
In the film clip for "Another brick in the wall" the poem the boy is writing are actually the lyrics to "Money @ 3:00 on this reaction, "I'm alright Jack,get your hands off of my stack"
It gets better when you listen to Pink Floyd albums from start to finish. The songs blend into each other and tell a story. The Wall album is the best/ my favorite.
The album this is from has been in the charts since it released pretty much permanently, and is one of those albums you need to listen through completely.
There is never been another band like Pink Floyd. I think they started around 1970 and just finally broke up and retired not long ago. David gilmour on the guitar and lead vocals is another one of the greatest guitarists there has ever been. When you watch him play on my video it's like he's barely doing anything and all that magic just blows out. Then he sings while playing, the man is incredible and probably pushing 70 years old.
Played this vinyl album until it fell apart.. then the tape.. then the CD!! This was one of my favs too - thanks for the reaction!! Have to say tho.. you really need to listen to the entire album in one ‘sit-down’. It’s the only way to fly with Pink Floyd!
The Dark Side of the Moon album remained on the sales charts constantly longer than any other album in history, staying on the charts for FIFTEEN YEARS!
yes but after that it went back on the charts again and to date sells about 3000 copies every week for another 30 years

Lyrics:
"Money"
Money, get away

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie

Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away
"Ha-ha! I was in the right!"

Wow!!! what an impact reaction!, id forgotten just how MASSIVE this track actually is and i've heard it a 1000's times in so many years. A lesson for US in remembering what was truly great and influential within music through the medium of being able to watch a new generation cast their judgement. I'm floored!
You’re right - Pink Floyd are a whole different level
When I think of this group, this is the song that comes to mind
Thanks. I believe this song hold the record for the longest song in the charts several decades
Had forgotten how good this was. Thank you for re-introducing me to this one. Brilliant reaction too, your enthusiasm is infectious and caught me up. You are the bomb Chief.
Such a GREAT song. I enjoyed your reaction! 💕
It is art . You nailed it 👏
As usual, your pure reactions are gold! Thank you.
I just heard this on my car radio yesterday and I was thinking that I hadn't heard anybody react to it yet and hear you are!
PINK FLOYD, "MONEY" , THIS IS THE SONG THAT INTRODUCED PINK FLOYD TOO THE WORLD.. FOLLOWED BY ONE OF MOST ICONIC ALBUM EVER MADE.. "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON"... The sound you ask about is the electric guitar..
I will never tire of this song
Super cool, from a great Album. The impact this had, when it first came out was the business! Glad you love it Jovaughn.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON WAS ON THE on the BILL BOARD TOP 200 FOR 15 YEARS ,,, EAT YOUR HEART OUT THRILLER
@@theodoreritola9758 exactly right. And it’s a much better album too.
@@dalebaker9109 TALENT WHYS WAY BETTER , NOT EVEN CLOSE Dark side of the moon Is FANTASTICLY BRILLIANT ,
And the Eagles Greatest hits past up THRILLER IN THE USA To be the biggest Selling ALBUM IN THE USA,,
This album was released in 1973.. almost 50 years ago and it’s still blowing minds to this day
Oooh, you picked a good one, Jay. Love the time signature of this song; that slightly off-putting clever 7/8. Creates that tension and urgency. An immaculately produced song.
That base line, over and over again, in 7, seven days a week. Rinse and repeat over and over: the obsession with money. Brilliant Waters.
This is a marvellous trip through midtempo, jazz, swing, rock'n'roll....
I used to listen to this and “Momentary Lapse of Reason” on my Walkman cassette player while in college in the late 80s. The songs totally envelop your brain.
My very first album purchase in the seventies... a loooong time ago.❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👍👍
Man, does that take me back in time! I haven't heard that in so many years.
Saw them in Indianapolis in 1994 on the Division Bell Tour. Hands down the most impressive live performance I've ever seen.
My son is an expert on these guys. He's been a fan since he was 10. He's now 42. .🤩🤩🤩. Great reactions jay 😍
New song? It was released in 1973. Such a joy to see young folks experience true classics.
As others have mentioned, “Have a Cigar” is a must!
The UK might be very small but it's HUGE in music...Pink Floyd, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, E.L.O., UB40, The Police, The Kinks, Slade, Queen, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Moody Blues, The Pet Shop Boys, Simply Red, The Who, Bad Company, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, etc, etc, and I'm only including some bands that came to my mind here.
That what I was thinking, we also had groups like Genesis, Greenslade, The Jam, T. Rex, The Bee Gees, singers like David Bowie, Kate Bush, Amy Winehouse, and on and on.
Bay City Rollers, Bucks Fizz, Marilyn. The good with the bad.
It’s a damn shame people only getting to hear this perfection that is Pink Floyd. I used to listen to DSOTM on repeat for many years. Guess we all have to start somewhere.
This is the first track I heard by them when I was 9 years of age. It blew my mind! Never looked back. Still my favourite album of all time.
That album dark side of the moon is my all time favorite album of all time!! Must listen to the hole album!!
I was really surprised you haven't heard this song after all these years lol.
You should watch their move The Wall, its amazing. The best way to listen to Floyd is in a quiet room with the lights low and no distractions, you end up hearing and experiencing so much more.
dirty and gritty, "the love of money is the root of all evil". You need it, but when you fall in love with it...
Thank you for sharing. Truly a record that don’t need a video just headphones .
Thanks for reacting to this one, it's a personal fave. Love what you do, as always...big hug from Atlantic Canada👍🤗🤗🤘
Instruments all over the place in your head, STEREO TRICKS MAXIMUS!!! This is why people explored other Floyd songs! Other bands like Queen and too many others, made it their mission to blow your mind, on or off drugs! Amazing work on this game changer!
My favourites: On The Run (I love synths)/Shine On You Crazy Diamond/The Great Gig In The Sky
Yeah, super smooth! That bass, that beat, then killin it with that sax 🔥 This and Have A Cigar will always be my picks.
This song has such a nice jazz rhythm.
I'm just so glad (and happy for you) you're getting into Floyd.
That "sound" is simply the (strat) guitar with the vibrato from the Fender amp I believe.. a simple effect built in.
Simple yet so distinctive. Don't think I've ever heard a guitar make that exact sound anywhere else.
I thought it was a leslie rotating speaker, could be just vibrato i guess
In the film clip for "Another brick in the wall" the poem the boy is writing are actually the lyrics to "Money @ 3:00 on this reaction,
"I'm alright Jack,get your hands off of my stack"
Great seeing your reaction. This song is so on the money.
It gets better when you listen to Pink Floyd albums from start to finish. The songs blend into each other and tell a story. The Wall album is the best/ my favorite.
Musicians of the highest order. Great reaction as usual.
The album this is from has been in the charts since it released pretty much permanently, and is one of those albums you need to listen through completely.
This was such a big hit back in the day and it still can't be touched by anything that came after! These guys were truly Rock Gods!
There is never been another band like Pink Floyd. I think they started around 1970 and just finally broke up and retired not long ago. David gilmour on the guitar and lead vocals is another one of the greatest guitarists there has ever been. When you watch him play on my video it's like he's barely doing anything and all that magic just blows out. Then he sings while playing, the man is incredible and probably pushing 70 years old.
Played this vinyl album until it fell apart.. then the tape.. then the CD!! This was one of my favs too - thanks for the reaction!! Have to say tho.. you really need to listen to the entire album in one ‘sit-down’. It’s the only way to fly with Pink Floyd!
