Such a shame, the official video is a cut down radio version 😕 with a really nice guitar breakdown cut out completely. Check out the audio only version
I saw that guy playing with a band called Brit Floyd last year. They were doing a Dark Side 25th Anniversary tour, and had him and one of the backup singers from the Pulse tour. Great Show! I had also seen a show on the Pulse tour in San Diego in 1994... which was mind-boggling! 😳🤯😎
The funny thing about Pink Floyd is 20 years later when you have more life experience it's going to mean something different. But you are definitely on the right track my friend.
"It's a gas," means that something is very cool and exciting. It's an old school jazz term. Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones) uses it multiple times in the song Jumpin' Jack Flash.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek The usage seems to have been picked up by the African American community in the US in the "Jazz Age," and the expression "it's a gas" is first found used in print by James Baldwin in 1957.
That’s the whole reason for the breakdown right before the guitar solo…they switch to a straight 4/4 for the solo. Watch the Classic Albums video about this song, or better yet, watch the entirety of that documentary.
THIS ALBUM is a STORY in Whole. The Entire Life Cycle from the First Heart-beat, to your Last Heat-beat, and all the crap that happens to your life in the middle.
I don’t remember which band member it was but I heard it said that DSOTM was a themed album about all the things that you worry about, stress over or think about on a regular basis. Breath. Time. Money. War (Us and Them). Brain Damage. Etc
the lyrics never said money is the root of evil, but how rich people said money is the root of evil then "but if you ask for a rise It's no surprise that they're giving none away"
@@saulinvictus9274 WRONG. Google the lyrics: 'Money So they say Is the root of all evil today But if you ask for a rise It's no surprise that they're giving none away Away, away, away Away, away, away'
'Money makes people greedy' is a relative statement. Not ALL people. 'Money is NOT the root of all evil, it is THE LOVE OF MONEY that is the root of all evil'. If one has his priorities in order, money is simply a means, not a false idol.
At some point down the line when you’re ready Pink Floyd has a song called Echoes that is almost a half hour long. It is my favorite Floyd track. Roger Waters ( the original bass player ) points to that song as the point that they found there sound and there way.
That was Dick Parry on sax. He did most of the sax work for Floyd. His double sax in Shine on You Crazy Diamond is epic. From Baritone to Tenor in a blink of an eye.
I'm a 70-year old British guy - and I absolutely love your reaction, which 100% gets the point of the song. Brilliant ! you should try reacting to Pink Floyd's 1994 Pulse concert which was released as a live album. They do the whole of dark side of the moon and amazingly they do it even better than the studio version. and tryl listening to Comfortably Numb; Sorrow; High Hopes; and Wish You Were Here also off the Pulse album. For me it's the best music ever performed.
So glad I was a teenager in the 70s, we had the best freaking music, concert tickets were cheap, no social media, no cell phones, we actually hung out together & talked, and get this, dated. Yes, dated. Some things sucked, things are much better for women now, & of course we’re all old now lol, but still, we had it good & I didn’t even realize it til much later.
I really wish they would take this edited version down. How can it be "official" if it's not complete? You owe it to yourself to listen to the entire track.
I'm sure I am not the first to say this... The best way to listen to this album, and the way Floyd intended it, is from beginning to end, without interruption. This album is not really meant to be listened to song by song, and it really doesn't work for some songs. Start at Breathe, and just hit play. Break up the videos if you want, but for the best most authentic reaction, listen to it from beginning to end. I absolutely, 100 percent, promise you that you will not be disappointed. Then go do the same for Wish You Were Here, and then the Wall. I recently subscribed as a result of the classic rock reactions... really enjoying seeing you explore and discover this era. It was like a mini renaissance, amazing artists. I also highly recommend Crosby Stills and Nash, Suite Judy Blue Eyes
Shine on You Crazy Diamond is a must. That's my go-to song when I want to chill. Enjoy hearing your insights. Pink Floyd is one rabbit hole. Opeth is your next one.
Pink Floyd is one of a kind. You've probably gotten suggestions to listen to the entire album, (Dark Side of the Moon) and I agree. It's a concept album and the songs flow together. Many reactors have done it in two reactions, side 1 and 2. I think you'll appreciate it more than just listening to single tracks from the album. Next, I hope you do the same with their album Wish You Were Here. Great energy and reactions! So great to see the younger generation appreciating the music we grew up on.
It still blows my mind at how someone can have so much creativity and talent to even write lyrics like this and then the melody OMG! Wish I didn't hate poetry so much when I was in school!
This, imo, is the best genre of music. I have all the vinyl at home and CD's in my car. At 65, I still listen to my "old stuff". You also need to sample some other UK bands. Duran, Duran - Hungry Like A Wolf; Supertramp, Def Leppard, The Cars and Cheap Trick. The most modern music I have, is Sick Puppies, Shinedown, JJ Wolf (Canadian), and Nikki Sixx, as a solo artist. Theory of a Deadman (TOAD), and Nirvana. The newest vinyl I bought was Thriller (MJ). I also enjoyed Isaac Hayes (very sexy voice, mood music) and Rick James - Super freak. ❤❤ A new subscriber, from Canada, to your channel. I love the memories. Thank you. 🇨🇦
The Dark Side of the moon is an experience. the first time i heard it was actually during the dark side of the moon laser show that they had in Pittsburgh, PA, i absolutely fell in love with it. The Great Gig in the sky is a must listen, simply amazing
Fun fact that some people don't catch....in the movie at the beginning of "Another Brick in the Wall Part II", the teacher grabs Pink's notebook and humiliates him by reading his poem "New car, caviar, four-star, daydream. Think I'll by me a football team" in front of the class. That poem is the lyrics to "Money"!!!
I graduated high school in 1976....this album was our anthem back in the day LOL We were rebels!!! So many rock albums back then about being anti-establishment.

An absolutely perfect analysis. Old soul..that's you...listening to the truth. Priceless. Btw....the queen of hearts always beats the queen if diamonds. ;)
New car, caviar, four star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team. Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. I'm in the first class traveling section I think I need a leer jet. But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're giving none away. Not in order of appearance in the song, but those are they lyrics that always stick out to me. Instead of "How can I help?" it seems to be "What can I buy?". I see your pinned comment below about learning so much from Pink Floyd. I did too, much earlier in life. And to think that they were only late twenties, thirty years old when they wrote/recorded "Dark Side of the Moon". Wise beyond their years - especially when I think about the song "Time". Have you listened to "The Great Gig in the Sky" yet?? You will be blown away!
Hey man, I'm enjoying your channel. Pink Floyd is so incredible. Since you asked our thoughts. Money isn't the root of all evil. That's been misquoted the real quote is from the Bible: "The love of money is the root of all evil". It's obvious that money is a necessary evil, but loving money isn't necessary. Much love to you and the channel.
It's no accident that the line people say is "Money is the root of all evil." The actual reference is "The love of money is the root of all evil." The difference is you can use money to do good , or accumulate money to fulfill vices and greed. It's not the money that's evil, it's what you do with it.
“Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one” - Confucius....Money is a man made construct, the things people will actually do for money, choice or no choice really pains me. Nobody really needs money, look at what has it made us become. This album is about the human condition and touches very deeply into the madness of the human psyche. there is no such thing as time, only in the concious world the world or relativity. subconciously it doesn`t exist along with space, only last week i snoozed my alarm; slept for 2 mins but dreamt for 18 hours. But you are right MDreeezy, Some politicians say there should be no private property, but they can still hold on to their million pound houses right (not giving that shit up) Pink Floyd really have something here and this piece of genius was produced in 1973. I wonder where the time went like everybody, but ironically i care less about material shit and money the older i get, guess it`s a natural progression. Jeff bazos on his deathbed will be no richer than the poorest person on earth. Being happy, content and healthy makes you rich. I had fuck all when i was a kid like a lot of people and there are times when i`ve had nothing, ironically those were the happiest times, those are the times i actually felt rich. Sad, crazy world we live in.
Yo my young friend! Take it from someone who's been around the block a few times; true happiness comes from living for yourself and within your means. Yeah, I've got bank to go out and buy 8 Lambos right now but I drive a 2013 Ford Focus. Trust me, most people tryna show off with their money ain't truly got it, just looking to impress to hide their own insecurities. Got a roof, enough food, a way to get around, and the freedom to live out your adventures? You're doing better than 90% of the world's population. Do what you love, don't worry what others think.
Just a heads up: generally video versions of songs are edits of the full version. This song is an example of that. And I wondered if you can tweak up the volume of the music from your end? Thanks bro. 💙
You're exactly Right! That's exactly what the politicians in this country do all the time. Take our money, put some in their pockets and give the rest to their friends. Don't you remember getting the new name you never asked for! "Ben Dover"
Yeah man, you should pick that sax back up! I just saw a good Pink Floyd cover band that had a young guy like you playing sax. The audience showed him serious love! 🎷🤙😎
Oops, should have done the album version. This video leaves out a big chunk of the guitar solo. Always best to stick with studio versions of Pink Floyd for introduction purposes.
The actual quote about money is not "Money is the root of all Evil", it is "The LOVE of Money is the root of all Evil" Money/currency... even gold and diamonds is neither good nor bad. What the saying addresses is the Evil inhereent in AVARICE ... unreasoning greed.
What a coincidence when you said money is the root of all evil when watching you I know the very next line was going to say the exact same thing! However it's the love of money that's the root of all evil is the correct statement but that wouldn't have worked as well as far as a line in a song!! If you like the sax then you need to do another song of Dark Side of the Moon "Us and Them" which has a beautiful bunch of playing with the sax!!
I always thought it was "the love of money is the root of all evil". Money itself isn't evil and many people do great things with money. There are wealthy people who give back to society but by far, I think most tend to fall in love with having money and actually become more selfish and fearful of losing their wealth. I think most of us on this planet know, you don't need money to find happiness but we understand the struggles of high rent/low wages and the worry about an unexpected financial hardship. We see how the system is built for the wealthy to benefit the most. I know that you will appreciate Pink Floyd's Animals Album. (especially in order) Love n peace
The love of money is the root of all evil, if you really like sax check out Tobacco Road by Johnny and Edgar Winter, Edgar Winter Frankenstein, great reaction
You definitely need to check out some Dylan songs - there's a line in Masters of War that goes . . . I think you will find, When your death takes its toll, All the money you've made Will never buy back your soul. In another song there's a line that goes . . . money doesn't talk it swears.
#FunFact ✍🏻 These are the Lyrics "the Teacher" makes fun of when he shouts at a young 'Pink' in class for writing "Poems" instead of paying attention. Then wacks him across the hand with a ruler. 🤗 I think "Pink" got the last laugh though.... 😉🥰🐰
You are wise beyond your years my young brother I love your open mind. Every song on the album is an anthem speaking to some aspect of the human condition. MONEY IS EVIL always remember that my young brother behind every dollar is blood the Empire always chooses profits over people and greed for that dollar is what drives Evil all over the world nearly since the beginning of time. Never ever ever ever ever let it be your life
The sax solo is cool but, on the album version, it leads into an awesome guitar solo - this was cut out for the single version so it wasn't too long to get airplay. Shame - it's a really rocking solo. Shine On You Crazy Diamond next methinks
I come to your channel for Ren and the classics. In Money Game 3 Jimmy was after approval from his dad. His father died without Jimmy getting his approval. I don't think he realized he never would. Everything he did wasn't good enough for his dad. After his dad died Jimmy went downhill and lost everything. You compared love and money to make you happy. Happiness comes from within. If you are not happy, nothing will make you happy. Great reaction as always!
- Actual quotation (from Christian Bible): "The *LOVE OF* MONEY is *A* root of all kinds of evil." - This expresses a fundamental difference to just plain MONEY. - Furthermore, it's indicated as just ONE root, not THE root. And, of ALL KINDS of evil, not some all-encompassing "Evil". - So, the point is that the LOVE OF MONEY can compel people to do "evil" things.
The actual phrase isn’t “money is the root of all evil”, it’s “THE LOVE of money is the root of all evil”. Having money is fine, but when it becomes your god, it’s a game changer.
The Bible says the LOVE OF MONEY IS the root of all evil. God wants us to work for our needs then share out of love for others. Lying, cheating, stealing, killing and corruption or coveting is evil. Just enough $ for you and your family should be fine. Money is NOT EVIL .
You may enjoy a thought experiment. Where exactly does money get its value? In any form. Gold, diamonds, cash. Every bit of it comes solely from our imagination. It isn't real. So when a person is a lover of money that person loves nothing at ,all.
What do you really need in life exept love and good friends? Decent cloothing, nutritious food, a home and, nowadays, perhaps at least some media. The rest is show off.

What a coincidence when you said money is the root of all evil when watching you I know the very next line was going to say the exact same thing! However it's the love of money that's the root of all evil is the correct statement but that wouldn't have worked as well as far as a line in a song!!
If you like the sax then you need to do another song of Dark Side of the Moon "Us and Them" which has a beautiful bunch of playing with the sax!!
Tip....always go with the longest version of a song. I really enjoy your reactions.❤
If you're digging that sax, check out the very next song on this album "Us and Them".
I always thought it was "the love of money is the root of all evil". Money itself isn't evil and many people do great things with money. There are wealthy people who give back to society but by far, I think most tend to fall in love with having money and actually become more selfish and fearful of losing their wealth. I think most of us on this planet know, you don't need money to find happiness but we understand the struggles of high rent/low wages and the worry about an unexpected financial hardship. We see how the system is built for the wealthy to benefit the most. I know that you will appreciate Pink Floyd's Animals Album. (especially in order) Love n peace
this is the shortened version of the song for radio the songs longer and has really cool guitar solo in the middle
What are you talking about? That's not true at all...
Money isn’t the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
The love of money is the root of all evil, if you really like sax check out Tobacco Road by Johnny and Edgar Winter, Edgar Winter Frankenstein, great reaction
You definitely need to check out some Dylan songs - there's a line in Masters of War that goes . . . I think you will find, When your death takes its toll, All the money you've made
Will never buy back your soul. In another song there's a line that goes . . . money doesn't talk it swears.
They say money changes a person. I think it just amplifies their character. If you're a prick when you're poor you'll be much worse when you're rich.
#FunFact ✍🏻 These are the Lyrics "the Teacher" makes fun of when he shouts at a young 'Pink' in class for writing "Poems" instead of paying attention. Then wacks him across the hand with a ruler. 🤗 I think "Pink" got the last laugh though.... 😉🥰🐰
Please pursue your interests in instruments!
We all want to observe your progress.
Lovin' it and yes, by all means, get back to the sax! Talent doesn't leave, you leave it. 😉 Peace
You are wise beyond your years my young brother I love your open mind. Every song on the album is an anthem speaking to some aspect of the human condition. MONEY IS EVIL always remember that my young brother behind every dollar is blood the Empire always chooses profits over people and greed for that dollar is what drives Evil all over the world nearly since the beginning of time. Never ever ever ever ever let it be your life
Money is relevant. It depends on why & what you're using it for.....
God gave us Free Will.♥️✝️
The sax solo is cool but, on the album version, it leads into an awesome guitar solo - this was cut out for the single version so it wasn't too long to get airplay. Shame - it's a really rocking solo. Shine On You Crazy Diamond next methinks
I come to your channel for Ren and the classics. In Money Game 3 Jimmy was after approval from his dad. His father died without Jimmy getting his approval.
I don't think he realized he never would. Everything he did wasn't good enough for his dad. After his dad died Jimmy went downhill and lost everything.
You compared love and money to make you happy. Happiness comes from within. If you are not happy, nothing will make you happy. Great reaction as always!
The Irony - Pink Floyd live in giant mansions and live the high life last 40 years.
Indeed, I guess that's the paradox for artists making social/political comment while embedded in a big corporate machine!
Like you wouldn't...
- Actual quotation (from Christian Bible):
"The *LOVE OF* MONEY is *A* root of all kinds of evil."
- This expresses a fundamental difference to just plain MONEY.
- Furthermore, it's indicated as just ONE root, not THE root. And, of ALL KINDS of evil, not some all-encompassing "Evil".
- So, the point is that the LOVE OF MONEY can compel people to do "evil" things.
All about the money
Like but listen to oldtime radio show
We are guaranteed the same opportunity, not the same outcome.
Greed and the need to be a massive consumer is the root of all evil!!! ✌️
Buy that sax you will never regret music
The actual phrase isn’t “money is the root of all evil”, it’s “THE LOVE of money is the root of all evil”. Having money is fine, but when it becomes your god, it’s a game changer.
Great song from THE best album ever, Dark Side of the Moon.
The love of money is the root of all evil
Money buys a peace of mind. Nothing else. Imo of course.
The Bible says the LOVE OF MONEY IS the root of all evil. God wants us to work for our needs then share out of love for others. Lying, cheating, stealing, killing and corruption or coveting is evil. Just enough $ for you and your family should be fine. Money is NOT EVIL .
A good concept album should we listen to from start to finish,otherwise you'll miss the concept.
Money, it’s a gas. It’s not. If it was a gas we would have to keep it in jars. Although, to be fair, it does disappear into thin air pretty quickly.
So they sold 250 million copies✌️🎶
If saxophone appeals to you try Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty
Even better, "Will You" by Hazel O'Connor.
Actually,,,,it's the LOVE OF MONEY that's the root of all evil. You're gonna love Animals. 💥💥💥👍😎
bummer, thats the short radio version.
It’s not “money is the root of all evil” it’s “The LOVE of money” ! No one is poor because someone else is rich! Life lesson
You may enjoy a thought experiment. Where exactly does money get its value? In any form. Gold, diamonds, cash. Every bit of it comes solely from our imagination. It isn't real. So when a person is a lover of money that person loves nothing at ,all.
What do you really need in life exept love and good friends? Decent cloothing, nutritious food, a home and, nowadays, perhaps at least some media. The rest is show off.
😮 no
