David Gilmour (guitar) is the first vocalist, then after the solo Roger Waters is on vocals at “ but it was only fantasy”, one of their best songs for me 🔥 lyrics by Waters
They will continue to not know, because they don't actually read comments. "Drop down in the comments and let us know" is a scam. They hate our music. They think it's outdated. They're just chair wiggling for dollars.
That is the case for almost every Pink Floyd song. Nick Mason is, imo, one of the Top 3 rock drummers of all time. If you had just an above average drummer, these songs would just be "meh"... That being said, everyone who ever worked on a Pink Floyd song is simply AMAZING. I love thousands of songs, but Pink Floyd is just on another level...
Was coming here for the same reason. Nick Mason is one of the most underrated drummers in Rock History! Sometimes Gilmour & Waters got so much credit (deservedly so) but it really diverted attention away from Mason. Case in point; the intro to Time is just phenomenal.
I know you probably heard it a million times, but one day you have to listen to the whole album offline. It’s an incredible story & album. The next song you should try is Brain Damage
I love the fact that Amber closed her eyes during the song.... I have listened to this album many times and the best way is to close your eyes and let the music take you where its going to take you....Amber did that...she gets it!! Amazing reaction!!!!
You are so right, I put on a pair of AKG headphones, Lay upon my bed in the dark and experience PINK FLOYD. An ethereal experience. I descovered myself.
I think you both are primed and ready for Floyd’s masterpiece, “Shine on you Crazy Diamond p.1-5” It’s about 14 minutes, but it goes by like nothing. It’s a major milestone in their creative journey, and a spiritual experience for me. I never tire of its profound effect on my psyche and soul This song is a journey. ✌️💜
Pink Floyd is honestly, a music genre unique to Pink Floyd. Honestly, there's no other group that has their sound, techniques, and production. #1ofaKind
I love Queen, but have to agree with your comment re: Pink Floyd! Really no one that could compare, they're just.... Pink Floyd. Both bands provide really fun rabbit holes to go down!
@@OldMusicFan83 I sometimes think of Pink Floyd and Yes as the dark and light sides of the same electronic progressive rock coin. Yet, at the same time, each group is indescribably unique.
The way Nick Mason plays the drums on this track is intoxicating, it drives this song.Everything in PF music is masterfully crafted, even the areas of silence.
I truly enjoy watching young people listening to PF. I listened to this album on my bedroom floor a thousand times when it came out. Over 40 years later, it still sounds amazing.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee And yet all this music is still being played somewhere all the time, 500 years later. I have faith, you have cynicism. What I said, will happen.
When asked what is pink floyd , rock , country ,heavy metal, I just say listen to them and then you tell me. . Cause in my mind there just Pink Floyd nobody touches there unique style. Nobody can do what they do. They are the greatest band of all time.
I am with you Amber. I am 44, but since I was 9 Pink Floyd has been my absolute favorite band. Found out a few years ago, that when my mother was carrying me, my parents went to a Pink Floyd The Wall Concert in San Diego, CA. Maybe the reason why I took to them so quickly. However, I do love seeing both of yall's reactions to a band I have loved for ages.
The lead singer on this song is also the lead guitarist, David Gilmour. Roger Waters comes in to sing the bit after the solo and sings the final verse.
@@williamosborne6866 There are actually two bass parts - one is Fender Precision (Waters) the other a Fender Fretless (Gilmour). The Fretless is the bass you hear at the very beginning. Waters wasn't able to hit the right cent range without the frets. Gilmour had to. Same thing happened on One of These Days. Problem with that one is Waters received an award for it because he was the only listed bass player. Any fretless parts were played by Gilmour. It like the acoustic on this song - unless you know how Gilmour screwed up when he strung his guitar you will have a very hard time replicating the sound.
Amber, listening to Pink Floyd has the exact same effect on me as it does to you, and I've loved them since the 80's. Just close your eyes and let the music take you away
David Gilmour was singing at the beginning. Waters sang the "It was only fantasy" part and the ending bit. Gilmour is the one with the mellow voice. I remember when I heard this the first time over winter break from college in 1979. The album had just come out and I was with an herbally enhanced group of friends. 43 years later, Hey You and Comfortably Numb still are my favorite Floyd songs. I recommend listening to the entire album without interruption, and watching the movie.
@@BlackHatCinephile Richard Wright on Keyboards also sang on some songs in the early years, Echoes and Time from Dark Side of the Moon. He had a really distinct voice and was a talented musician.
@@BlackHatCinephile you probably do not realize that you are letting yourself down. You have not prepared anyone for anything with these comments. That is, apparently, a false hope that you have. Maybe get another hobby.
Up until the last verse it was David singing, Roger came in with higher verse at the end, and the middle section. Love you guys, you have taken to great music with such a passion.
You've done a lot of Pink Floyd songs, but there's one in particular that is one of my faves that you haven't heard yet... "Run Like Hell". Got one of the more memorable guitar riffs in their discography. And the lyrics are aggressively weird in a way that only Pink Floyd can deliver. :)
My daughter once played a song for me from an all girl trash band called Kitty. It was Run Like Hell! It took me a minute but I noticed the lyrics were the same. When I pulled out my Wall album and played it for her she was blown away,
Waters is a brilliant poet. The contrast between Gilmour's and Water's voices creates the perfect characterization of the lyrics and mood of the music.
It makes me a bit sad that this is Amber's favorite band, yet she really hasn't experienced them the way they are meant to be. Not as singles, but whole albums in a sitting. More than most other bands you really need this to fully experience Pink Floyd. One Day they will either do whole album reactions (or bigger chunks) or she will have reacted to enough solo songs to listen to a whole album on her own, and then she will TRULY fully know what she has been missing. We can keep mentioning this, but it won't make sense until they do this.
Yes they are bigger than just to react to this way. Do it album wise plsssss. This is a life changing band in so many ways. Give it a chance the right way ❤
I'm really surprised at how many songs you two have reacted to and how broad the styles you've been able to inspect. Before too long, you guys are going to be music pros, and running your own mix radio station.
This album is a story. You need to listen to the WHOLE THING to understand what it's about. It's like picking a random chapter out of a book and trying to understand what it's about from what little you've heard. Gotta love concept albums, a long story put to music. 🙂
I could watch Amber react to PF all day. She gets it. I have been a fan for over 50 years and it never gets old! I love seeing younger people appreciate the genius that is Pink Floyd. There are many,many songs I could suggest, but some that I feel you NEED are "Comfortably Numb, 1994 Pulse concert version which is light years above the album version you've heard, "Run like Hell" from the same concert, "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", the album version is musically better, but the Pulse version would not disappoint, and "When the Tigers Broke Free" if you want your heart strings tugged on a little. Again, LOVE the PF reactions. Keep 'em coming!
Ouço Pink há mais de 50 anos, e toda vez que ouço é como se estivesse ouvindo pela primeira vez, tal é a qualidade musical absurda e a genialidade impregnada nesses caras.
This is one of the most mysterious songs on " The Wall". It describes someone who is longing for interaction but comes up against the wall that keeps people out. He seems to encounter people who are disappointing, rebellious teens breaking bottles etc. A song of longing for companionship. The guitars are amazing in displaying the mood of this song, David had it perfect. Roger's vocals tell the story beautifully. Another master Floyd song. You should showcase the whole album for full justice. 🎹🎸🥁🎵🎹🎸🥁🎵 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Everything about "The Wall" is enveloping, the story and songs just surround your ears and sink into your mind. And I can't lie Amber, you look really beautiful getting lost in that guitar solo!☺👍 Keep up the great work, guys!
You should have a reaction where you listen to a whole side of an album: do The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. The Wall is a double album so you could do it in 4 videos. Pink Floyd runs all their songs together and that is the best way to experience these albums. 🧡
Pink Floyd were the masters of production; not only on their lyrics and musicality, but the vocal delivery is exactly what Amber mentioned. You can almost picture a movie in your mind that shows every sound and feeling. Simply brilliant!
This pink Floyd song is one of the greatest. Atmosphere, lyrics, guitar intro/solo, David’s voice, and Roger’s voice at the end is absolutely mind blowing. Just amazing!!!
I was a 19 year old guitar playin" kid when I first saw Pink Floyd in 1971 in a gymnasium at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. Pink Floyd in a GYM!!! They were awesome then and became one of the most influential bands in my lifetime. My band in 1977 used to cover Hey You, Comfortably Numb, and Brick in the Wall and the crowd was never disappointed. Amber, watching you react to these tunes warms this old heart on a daily basis. You are an old, wise soul and a very special lady. Jay...I say this with all due respect. I love you both. Never stop and always stay groovy! Peace and love to my family here. God bless.
I attended several Pink Floyd concerts. The one thing that always amazed me was being in a stadium full of people who were all mesmerized by the music. Sure there were applause and some cheers but it wasn't like an AC/DC concert or the current pop star concerts. People road the waves of the music and, like Amber, caught that amazing something and lost themselves in the music. I love how the last couple of times I saw them they ended with that amazing Comfortably Numb rendition with Gilmour just going off on the final solo. The crowds were near silent as the white disco ball came out and unfolded. But when it was done the roar of applause was deafening. They performed for the music and with total respect for the audience. It wasn't a show, it was an experience. The best concerts I have ever attended.
if u wanna watch/hear what many consider the best guitar solo of all time.. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb live at Pulse… amazing, do not pause the last 5 mins of that song.. lights r amazing also.. best concert of all time FOR SURE
Pure Classic Pink Floyd! You Guys both did a Great Job expressing Your thoughts! Great Reaction. Pink Floyd fans here Know they'll be hearing more later! :)
You always show exemplary feeling and heartfelt comments and like me I feel that music and with David Gilmore guitar solos he takes you to another level I am sure his string's are attached to his soul
Thank you, Jay and Amber. I was having a bad day and trying to shake it off. I got on your channel and started listening to Hey You for about the 100th time. Pink Floyd is my favorite band. This album came out in my senior year of high school. It was just so amazing. The movie is cool too. Of course, Comfortably Numb is my fav from The Wall. This one is a close second. Just love the vibe on it. So thanks for playing this and cheering me up :)
So when i was in high school, this was my go to album, specifically from this song to comfortably numb. The reason was because I had it on vinyl and the first side of the second disc was this tune to comfortably numb at least. It's amazing. Also if you listen to it in one go, all the background radio chatter matters too!!
Listen to all their albums truly. From beginning to end. They’re all concept albums really, each telling a full story. I love every stage in the evolution of the entity, that is Pink Floyd. Through the different band member lineups, changes in sound, various content of depth and intellect over the decades. Pink Floyd- an otherworldly blip in time.
I love the fretless bass guitar on this song. It's what adds that erie feeling combined with the synthesizer on the high level, then of course David Gilmore on lead guitar playing those notes you didn't know you needed to hear....
This whole album (and the movie) was a staple for me in my teens. This is beautiful and my faves are "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell". I love seeing you guys get teleported when listening to good music - it's so satisfying, like your channels. The reason why yours are the best is that you take time to analyze and dissect different components - whether music or movies. Bravo - Darlings!
Most Pink Floyd songs are delightfully crafted and this more than most. The drums, the little piano rolls and of course Gilmour's screaming guitar. Love the reaction to the lyrics. It is a song about loneliness. Together we stand and divided to fall. Perfect. Amber don't apologize, any music that provokes some deep thinking and a emotional reactions is a gift.
Gilmour played bass on this song and absolutely killed it. Love the sound of a fretless bass. They said Gilmour played bass on about half of all Pink Floyd's catalog. You guys should react to Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. It is the most unique song ever written. Nothing comes close to it.
I was looking for that information. Because i know it's a fretless bass (even though i'm a drummer not a bass player but i recognize the sound of it) and i wasn't sure that Roger Waters ever played a fretless bass with PF.
I love your analysis.... one of the best. I feel like I am listening to this again at the first time. The first time was in my dorm room when it debuted on the radio... we had a Wall listening party... say no more.
Amber, as we fellow Floydians have said before, I hope you really get the chance to experience their albums start to finish, it's an experience like no other. The Wall is, of course, one of my faves and the movie is etched in my brain (with the worms) forever
Pink Floyd brings you to that place with their theatrical setting to the music. Always a great experience listening to such great musicians taking me away on a journey.
Honestly one of my favorite songs from my absolute favorite album composed by humans…. Other people will tell you to, but listen to this whole album in one sitting one day. The story of the album is so well executed, this is the beginning of the second half where the main character has completed his mental wall to protect himself. He realizes the loneliness crushing in around him since he’s had to isolate himself in order to feel safe and tries to reach out, but as the song says, “..it was only a fantasy… the wall was too high, as you can see…”
I watch tons of music reactions. Rob and Amber are the best I’ve seen. They are so knowledgeable. Rob always seems so happy to listen. Amber is quick to pickup on deep meanings. She really gets into it. Love to watch her as she lets the music take over. Y’all are the best!
As a child of the sixties I grew up with this music and remember alot of it as it first came out. I'm thrilled that you share this great music and the fact that it's being shared with the next generations
Oh man, The Wall is one of the pinnacles of music in the 20th century, amazing on so many levels. They were so very masterful at telling stories of real lives and real struggles, often times drawn from their original lead singer who went crazy. I'm so glad you seem to appreciate it and connect to these musicians. If you want a deep dive video option, check out Roger Waters's solo version of Pink Floyd's song "Dogs" performed live (its like 20 minutes long). Waters and Gilmore don't like each other much anymore, they split one album after 'The Wall' but they kept on performing Pink Floy tunes even to this day. "Dogs" by Waters is outstanding. Gilmore's solo Pink Floyd work is stunning as well.
My favorite band of ALL time! I saw them in Kansas City back in ‘88, the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour at Arrowhead stadium! The most amazing show in the world!
This album is also famous for mixing in audio from TV shows an movies. If you ever listen to the whole album, you will hear audio from Gun Smoke, Gomer Pyle and the Battle of Britain (movie).
You should watch The Wall on your movie channel that way you can experience the whole album visually as well! I've seen Pink Floyd with David Gilmour and then I've seen Roger Waters The Wall concert twice. It's AMAZING live production and he still tours!
Amber calls out that sound of the worms eating into his brain....very impressive! I have not heard any reactor point that out. Of course, to really understand the Wall you really need to hear in one sitting. Great reaction1
We saw Roger Waters in Toronto last July (for our 40th wedding anniversary), it was incredible! The music is as relevant today as it was when we first heard it. After a lifetime we still stop to listen to the lyrics and let the music take us on a journey. Have PF music on repeat, it’ll get deeper and more meaningful every time.
I was at that concert last summer too! Great concert, and I was so relieved that Waters didn't have an opening act. And I loved the second half after the show, when he did huge chunks of "The Wall," "Animals," and "Dark Side of the Moon."
I love how Amber shows the ability to get lost in a song and enjoy it 😊
Definitely lost in the sauce.
"Soulgasm"
You should actually watch the video from the movie. It's going blow your mind the whole movie !!!
_#cheers__ !_
Amber is so Dreamy!
This is a subtle masterpiece. You appreciate it more everytime you hear it

😂
david sung most of pink floyd, but yea roger did too
@@BlackHatCinephile Nah. They’re just busy and have 3-4 kids and a life outside this. Don’t be so jaded.
Nick Mason’s drumming just drives this song. It doesn’t seem to dominate like Keith Moon, but it drives and steers the tune. He is so underrated.
Was just thinking that, really underestimated how important he was to Pink Floyds music.
That is the case for almost every Pink Floyd song. Nick Mason is, imo, one of the Top 3 rock drummers of all time. If you had just an above average drummer, these songs would just be "meh"...
That being said, everyone who ever worked on a Pink Floyd song is simply AMAZING. I love thousands of songs, but Pink Floyd is just on another level...
Spot on! Like Gilmour. Not flashy, just say so much with so little. Mason's intro on the roto-toms on Time is pure perfection. Such a great band!
Not if you checkout his house and car collection...
Was coming here for the same reason. Nick Mason is one of the most underrated drummers in Rock History! Sometimes Gilmour & Waters got so much credit (deservedly so) but it really diverted attention away from Mason.
Case in point; the intro to Time is just phenomenal.

The drum fills are next level. And that guitar solo is one of David's best.
When asked what is pink floyd , rock , country ,heavy metal, I just say listen to them and then you tell me. . Cause in my mind there just Pink Floyd nobody touches there unique style. Nobody can do what they do. They are the greatest band of all time.

I am with you Amber. I am 44, but since I was 9 Pink Floyd has been my absolute favorite band.

Yep. And I would say Pink Floyd (like some other bands of that era.. The Eagles is another) doesn't really have a designated "lead singer".
Damn! you beat me too it. Richard wright sang also but not in this song. All their voices fit pink Floyd perfectly,👍
I see this after I post... Guess I gotta be quicker

Preach
RUSH's 2112 is a cool album concept as well...
"Quadrophenia" would like a word
Dang, Asia left us during that guitar solo. Where’s you go girl!
Roger Waters turned into another woke lib. He said Pink Floyd would fail once he left the band. Didn't happen!

The brilliance of Pink Floyd, my favorite band, never shines brighter than on THE WALL.
You should have a reaction where you listen to a whole side of an album: do The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. The Wall is a double album so you could do it in 4 videos. Pink Floyd runs all their songs together and that is the best way to experience these albums. 🧡
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Animals. Don’t forget Animals. For me, it’s the best total Floyd album from start to finish.
Don't forget Animals.

Love, love this song! I used to listen to the whole album in my room when I was a teenager.
I first started watching this channel after watching Amber's reaction to Pink Floyd! I love the way Pink Floyd takes her to another dimension!!!!🙂
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs....you should react to "Money". 😉
I was a 19 year old guitar playin" kid when I first saw Pink Floyd in 1971 in a gymnasium at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. Pink Floyd in a GYM!!! They were awesome then and became one of the most influential bands in my lifetime. My band in 1977 used to cover Hey You, Comfortably Numb, and Brick in the Wall and the crowd was never disappointed. Amber, watching you react to these tunes warms this old heart on a daily basis. You are an old, wise soul and a very special lady. Jay...I say this with all due respect. I love you both. Never stop and always stay groovy! Peace and love to my family here. God bless.
I attended several Pink Floyd concerts. The one thing that always amazed me was being in a stadium full of people who were all mesmerized by the music. Sure there were applause and some cheers but it wasn't like an AC/DC concert or the current pop star concerts. People road the waves of the music and, like Amber, caught that amazing something and lost themselves in the music. I love how the last couple of times I saw them they ended with that amazing Comfortably Numb rendition with Gilmour just going off on the final solo. The crowds were near silent as the white disco ball came out and unfolded. But when it was done the roar of applause was deafening. They performed for the music and with total respect for the audience. It wasn't a show, it was an experience. The best concerts I have ever attended.
Finally Hey You! David Gilmour is the 🐐 love it when Amber is in the Floyd zone 😍
It's fake.
if u wanna watch/hear what many consider the best guitar solo of all time.. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb live at Pulse… amazing, do not pause the last 5 mins of that song.. lights r amazing also.. best concert of all time FOR SURE
Pure Classic Pink Floyd! You Guys both did a Great Job expressing Your thoughts! Great Reaction. Pink Floyd fans here Know they'll be hearing more later! :)
Oh hell yeah! More Pink Floyd, please 💐
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all. Together we stand, divided we fall, fall, fall...
We fall is repeated with delay effect.
You always show exemplary feeling and heartfelt comments and like me I feel that music and with David Gilmore guitar solos he takes you to another level I am sure his string's are attached to his soul
Thank you, Jay and Amber. I was having a bad day and trying to shake it off. I got on your channel and started listening to Hey You for about the 100th time. Pink Floyd is my favorite band. This album came out in my senior year of high school. It was just so amazing. The movie is cool too. Of course, Comfortably Numb is my fav from The Wall. This one is a close second. Just love the vibe on it. So thanks for playing this and cheering me up :)
You're wasting your efforts commenting to the Robs. They don't read comments. This is a scam.
David is master of hypnotizing guitar. Smooth , always Smooth.
Before you go and play some Pink Floyd I would suggest Aon ATO KEA1 talk
Brower and shipley touch the group they sing the song one toke it's by Brewer and shipley they do a 1 toke
So when i was in high school, this was my go to album, specifically from this song to comfortably numb. The reason was because I had it on vinyl and the first side of the second disc was this tune to comfortably numb at least. It's amazing. Also if you listen to it in one go, all the background radio chatter matters too!!
Love Comfotably Numb. Run Like Hell is bitching too
@@lizoneal2518 Hell YES! Great tune!
Listen to all their albums truly. From beginning to end. They’re all concept albums really, each telling a full story. I love every stage in the evolution of the entity, that is Pink Floyd. Through the different band member lineups, changes in sound, various content of depth and intellect over the decades. Pink Floyd- an otherworldly blip in time.
I love the fretless bass guitar on this song. It's what adds that erie feeling combined with the synthesizer on the high level, then of course David Gilmore on lead guitar playing those notes you didn't know you needed to hear....
YES and PINK FLOYD = A transcendental experience. Thanks.
Amber is right, greatest band ever
This song is hypnotic...it even included a brief "we don't need no education" riff during the guitar solo!!!
This whole album (and the movie) was a staple for me in my teens. This is beautiful and my faves are "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell". I love seeing you guys get teleported when listening to good music - it's so satisfying, like your channels. The reason why yours are the best is that you take time to analyze and dissect different components - whether music or movies. Bravo - Darlings!
They are the greatest of all time!
You won't get a real good grasp of this album without the movie. Every song plays into another part of the movie.
Movie is a must see!!!!!!
@@marymays8846 agreed. I found the album way before the movie. After the movie I had a better understanding.
Irony: Hey You is not in the movie. The movie is a must-see though no matter what. Bob Geldoff is genius in the role of Pink.
@@DavidBMaas it's on the album, right? The movie helps explain the album, not the single, the album. I guess there's some kinda irony there.
@@jaydisqus3353 Of course!
Lucky enough to watch in Amsterdam...BRILLIANT
Most Pink Floyd songs are delightfully crafted and this more than most. The drums, the little piano rolls and of course Gilmour's screaming guitar. Love the reaction to the lyrics. It is a song about loneliness. Together we stand and divided to fall. Perfect. Amber don't apologize, any music that provokes some deep thinking and a emotional reactions is a gift.
Always more Pink Floyd!!!
Roger’s bassline is soooo good. One of my favorite PF songs.
Saw them in the late 80s. Best concert ever
Gilmour played bass on this song and absolutely killed it. Love the sound of a fretless bass. They said Gilmour played bass on about half of all Pink Floyd's catalog. You guys should react to Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. It is the most unique song ever written. Nothing comes close to it.
I was looking for that information. Because i know it's a fretless bass (even though i'm a drummer not a bass player but i recognize the sound of it) and i wasn't sure that Roger Waters ever played a fretless bass with PF.
I love your analysis.... one of the best. I feel like I am listening to this again at the first time. The first time was in my dorm room when it debuted on the radio... we had a Wall listening party... say no more.
Amber, as we fellow Floydians have said before, I hope you really get the chance to experience their albums start to finish, it's an experience like no other. The Wall is, of course, one of my faves and the movie is etched in my brain (with the worms) forever
Pink Floyd brings you to that place with their theatrical setting to the music. Always a great experience listening to such great musicians taking me away on a journey.
Honestly one of my favorite songs from my absolute favorite album composed by humans…. Other people will tell you to, but listen to this whole album in one sitting one day. The story of the album is so well executed, this is the beginning of the second half where the main character has completed his mental wall to protect himself. He realizes the loneliness crushing in around him since he’s had to isolate himself in order to feel safe and tries to reach out, but as the song says, “..it was only a fantasy… the wall was too high, as you can see…”
love this , got this on my ipod along with other pink floyd songs , i hadn't heard of pink floyd until i met my husband
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Young Lust"!!
You're wasting your efforts commenting to the Robs. They don't actually read comments. It's a scam.
I can lose myself for literally hours listening to Pink Floyd! Pure Geniuses!
I watch tons of music reactions. Rob and Amber are the best I’ve seen. They are so knowledgeable. Rob always seems so happy to listen. Amber is quick to pickup on deep meanings. She really gets into it. Love to watch her as she lets the music take over. Y’all are the best!
As a child of the sixties I grew up with this music and remember alot of it as it first came out. I'm thrilled that you share this great music and the fact that it's being shared with the next generations
Oh man, The Wall is one of the pinnacles of music in the 20th century, amazing on so many levels. They were so very masterful at telling stories of real lives and real struggles, often times drawn from their original lead singer who went crazy. I'm so glad you seem to appreciate it and connect to these musicians. If you want a deep dive video option, check out Roger Waters's solo version of Pink Floyd's song "Dogs" performed live (its like 20 minutes long). Waters and Gilmore don't like each other much anymore, they split one album after 'The Wall' but they kept on performing Pink Floy tunes even to this day. "Dogs" by Waters is outstanding. Gilmore's solo Pink Floyd work is stunning as well.
My favorite band of ALL time! I saw them in Kansas City back in ‘88, the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour at Arrowhead stadium! The most amazing show in the world!
This album is also famous for mixing in audio from TV shows an movies. If you ever listen to the whole album, you will hear audio from Gun Smoke, Gomer Pyle and the Battle of Britain (movie).
She feels Pink Floyd just like I do. They are my all time favorite band. I was so glad to see your reaction to this.
You should watch The Wall on your movie channel that way you can experience the whole album visually as well!
I've seen Pink Floyd with David Gilmour and then I've seen Roger Waters The Wall concert twice. It's AMAZING live production and he still tours!
You're wasting your efforts commenting to the Robs. They don't read comments. This is a scam.
Yes! The drummer is 100% awesome.
Amber calls out that sound of the worms eating into his brain....very impressive! I have not heard any reactor point that out. Of course, to really understand the Wall you really need to hear in one sitting. Great reaction1
My favourite band and album since I was 7 years old.
I love how they don't even realize that there are 2 singers in the song
Right on brother!
i love Amber - great reactions to pink floyd songs - just showing how timeless their music is - welcome to the club !!
We saw Roger Waters in Toronto last July (for our 40th wedding anniversary), it was incredible! The music is as relevant today as it was when we first heard it. After a lifetime we still stop to listen to the lyrics and let the music take us on a journey. Have PF music on repeat, it’ll get deeper and more meaningful every time.
He's playing soon in the state's can remember where but really soon tho
I've seen his show twice and it was amazing! Some of the best concert pics I ever took
@@meganyounger4842 Totally agree, This is Not a Drill is an amazing show. If it came back our way we would definitely go again.
I was at that concert last summer too! Great concert, and I was so relieved that Waters didn't have an opening act. And I loved the second half after the show, when he did huge chunks of "The Wall," "Animals," and "Dark Side of the Moon."
Me too :) Saw first Us+Them tour show and then flew to London for the Hyde Park show. Just fantastic. Roger really puts on a great show!
