Monica, I really enjoy your reactions. They seem, at least to me, the most genuinely honest. I'm an old man that doesn't get around like I used to, so I watch a lot of reactions to music I grew up listening to. I love seeing people discover it for the first time. I get that same feeling all over again when people like you have your first experience. The organs, horns, strings, xylophone, and quite a few more instruments are all done with synthesizers. The Sax was sax. I'm really enjoying your journey, discovering my favorite band of all time. Thank you for letting me ride along.
Thank you so much for doing this reaction... It was honest and true. What an experience. There is a second part to this musical composition: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX). It completes what you just heard which is Parts I - V. I'm sure you'll find it just as wondrous as this first half. Thanks again
Greetings from Canada. You do realize (?) that this is the first half (Parts i - v) of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" that continues with (Parts vi- ix) next. Hint, hint. Nice job digging into this wonderful tune. Good on you. Peace, love and bellbottoms. btw those are Roman numerals for (1- 5) and (6- 9).
I´ll take the chance and hereby salute Mr. Adolphe Sax, the inventor of this beautiful instrument - the saxophone. Well done! And greetings to his homeland Belgium. In my language the sax is sometimes called "watering can" because of its form. Though this may sound a little disrespectful, that is what comes to my mind by hearing the first, low part of the sax solo. You can hear the breath streaming through the tube and creating this sound almost like an old door creaking in its hinges. Warm, fragile and introverted - the instrument is seldom played that low and way. And then the triumphant expressionistic turn into the full-blown high ranges... I´ve never heard a sax played that good and embedded so well in a rock song, carrying its meaning and emotion perfect.
You should know this is just the first half of the song, parts 6-9 should be next. The two parts are the beginning and ending of the album Wish You Were Here 🔥
The sounds you hear in the very beginning and in the mid section are of an electric origin, those are achieved only through the usage of electric keyboard, something that Richard Wright learned to play to goddamn near perfection throughout his lifetime! I think he truly shines in this department during Pulse concert and their album from 1994 called the Devision Bell (Criminally underrated album btw...)
@@steinovemjeldheim5132 That's not my words...almost every single person on youtube, who makes videos, where they rank all PF albums best to worst claim it's underrated and most of them would barely put it on the 10th place...i didn't fatansize about it...
Every time you thought it was a trumpet except for the last solo it was Richard Wright on the Hammond Organ. The last "trumpet solo" was actually 2 different saxophones a tenor sax and a baritone sax being played by Dick Parry a session musician. This song has 4 more parts and as a whole it is supposed represent the life of a founding member of the band Syd Barrett. who ultimately had a breakdown and went insane due to his own genetics and a lot of LSD.
You what people mean when they say this is real music .. ? .... It's not just a drum machine playing the same beat with a bassline that just plays one note with some mumble rap over the top , Or some over produced pop record. It's real instruments playing off each other with counter melodies etc ... The music industry ruined the music industry haha , They've forced same repetitive generic stuff in the charts for years and the younger generation buy and listen to it because it's what their friends listen too so they just follow the crowd, So it's an endless cycle .... Just a thought. Great reaction, Much love from the UK ! x
After you listen to parts 5 to 9, then watch and listen to the live version from Pulse, 1994. The opening number of the epic concert is a brilliantly shortened live masterpiece of all 9 parts. Then listen to the live Great Gig In The Sky ftom the same concert.....it will change your perspective on life and music.
You don't just listen to Pink Floyd you experience them , They plant a thought in your subconscious, then let you feel it with the instrumental sections.
I could not help but smile all the way thru watching your facial expressions and smiles. Enjoyed you all the way thru. NOW !!!! You will do yourself a disservice if you don't do parts VI-IX. I actually think it's better in some ways. You won't be disappointed. Great Job. Thanks
BTW the very last bars on the album are actually Richard Wright on Keyboards playing a riff from "See Emily Play" an early Pink Floyd hit written by Syd.
I would recommend that you return to the Live Pulse concert and take a listen to, "The Great Gig in the Sky". It is preformed by the 3 female backup singers.
So "S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 1-5" is the opening to the album Wish You Were Here. Next you have "Welcome to the Machine", "Have a Cigar", "Wish You Were Here" and the album closes with "S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 6-9“ The entire album is about their dear friend and the bands founding member Syd Barrett who had been dropped from the band suffering severe mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse. During recording a fat, bald man with shaved off eyebrows and in a raincoat wandered into the studio. It took several minutes before they realised this was their old friend Syd. Roger Waters broke down and cried when he saw what the music industry, drugs, and inadequate care had done to his friend.
Good reaction.. 👍 The sound that confuses you is a keyboard set to a wind instrument like a clarinet sound. Or some instrument of that nature. Keep going 👍
first solo is synthesizer next guitar solo and again synthesizer and guitar ... last solo is a sax - great reaction ... next step shine on you crazy diamond part six to nine
just practise every day for half an hour. Making time for it. You will improve and you will get there, trust me. There are going to be moments you'll lose hope, but there are going to be moments as well when you will say to yourself: "Shit, I got it" - next one…
It's actually shine on you CRAZY diamond it's a tribute to they band member Syd who had a mental breakdown etc. and when recording this guy walked into the studio and no-one recognised him.
You just reacted to the best music ever written. I salut your for the courage of doing a react on a 20 min song. And whoever doesn't agree with me that this is the best song ever written, you clearly never listened to this while on any psychadelic drug LMAO
Hey, I got a suggestion for you. How about echoes? That's 23 minutes long. You will get a big trip out of either live from Paul's. Or uh, why did ghost even I think that's what it's called from Poland and there's one David Gilmore concert where he did it. And I can't remember the name of the concert. Maybe someone else remember name of that concert
I would highly recommend looking up on RUclips Marty Music how to play the song by Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here for your first song to learn how play. Marty is an excellent teacher and the song is a great fun one to learn , just the right level of difficulty for a beginner. Good luck😊.
You speak of learning to play the guitar, presumably at least as well as Professor Gilmour. I saw a video a couple of years ago of him sitting on the ground playing his guitar, listening to his guitar, learning from his guitar just what sounds it will make if he does this, or that, or maybe if he does it this way. I have to assume the video was taken after he left his music school. My point is, maybe take at least a few classes, and then sit down and learn about YOUR guitar
Clearly you have an incomplete grasp of what makes those sounds. There is no trumpet, and up until the last part, no wind instruments. Those sounds are all made with analogue synthesizers and played on keyboards. Not idiot sampling like today, but real sound generators and filters/modulators requiring skill to play well. At the end it is two different saxophones. If you want to see the real instruments watch this live performance: ruclips.net/video/4oK1Jco6JFM/видео.html (Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5 & 7) [PULSE Restored & Re-Edited] ) Also you missed the visceral lyrics, which in fact are speaking about an original Floyd band member who went insane and had to leave the band. The song is both a lament and a tribute to that tragic loss of a bandmate, and childhood friend to most of the others. Another aspect to those spacey sounds at the beginning, is they use what they call a "glass harp" which is in fact chords played on wine glasses as in this later performance: ruclips.net/video/kqXD5NKj4d4/видео.html (Shine On You Crazy Diamond - David Gilmour live @ Gdansk 2006 )

This is one of my favorite tracks and I listen to it about once a week.
You were feeling that, loved it.
Pink Floyd is on another level altogether, every song is an Experience!

Division Bell has sold over 12 million copies, only beaten by Dark Side, The Wall and WYWH.
So,hardly underrated...

Pink Floyd LIVE PULSE 1994
You need to see the pulse live version
Check out their 1994 Pulse concert, the visuals with the music is awesome and I'm sure you would enjoy the entire concert, God Bless
You just reacted to the best music ever written. I salut your for the courage of doing a react on a 20 min song. And whoever doesn't agree with me that this is the best song ever written, you clearly never listened to this while on any psychadelic drug LMAO
This is one of the best tracks ever made. I have listened to this on LSD/mushies/T.peruvianus more times than I can remember. :)
@@robd951 same. One of the best moments of my life was hearing this on shrooms. Absolute masterpiece
There were no trumpets ,synthesizers electric guitar bass drums and saxophone at the end.
Funny how parts I-V are reacted to about ten times more often than parts VI-IX...
You should also listen to another long aong by them, Atom Hearts Mother
World be interesting a resct to Elis Regina singing Como Nossos Pais.
Hey, I got a suggestion for you. How about echoes? That's 23 minutes long. You will get a big trip out of either live from Paul's.
Or uh, why did ghost even I think that's what it's called from Poland and there's one David Gilmore concert where he did it. And I can't remember the name of the concert. Maybe someone else remember name of that concert
The name of the concert is "Echoes, Live From Gdansk. The Final Performance" from 2006

Po co pani się za to bierze?To nie pani klimaty.Zresztą ile można słuchać Pink Floyd?Czekamy na soul i bluesa.
