At 71, I still vividly remember in 1975 putting this seminal album on the turntable of my recently bought Panasonic music centre. I got the album the day it was released. I sat back, admiring the album sleeve artwork, and simply entered another realm of Floydian delight. I'm sure there's untold myriads of fans like me who regard Floyd as the ultimate rock band, light years ahead of the competition. Us Floyd fans will hold this album and the other Floyd masterpieces in our minds till the day we die.... And Pink Floyds music will live on long after that.
Когда вы написали свой отзыв, 8 дней назад, умер мой Отец... Ему было 72 года. Мне сейчас 48 и я сейчас вспоминаю, как Отец слушал Pink Floyd. Теперь я слушаю и плачу....Но он рядом мне кажется....И тоже слушает эту прекрасную музыку
i remember a friend loaned me this album back in 75 after partaking in some doobage i put this album on in the candlelight of my hippie bedroom incense beaded curtain blacklight the whole 9 yards. this album blew me away and took me into a trancendental meditation never felt before. amazing experience and still listen to this album today!!
Sorry for your loss,I too have lost my Brother to cancer/Covid in 2020. We shared a bedroom growing up, listening to Pink Floyd,smoking weed,and loving life. Stay safe and healthy,only go around once. Enjoy the Ride. Play it loud.
I played it just like this on K V H S 90.5 FM in Concord California in 1994. I used two copies of the album and potted them together and played the other three songs after it the phone did not stop ringing for hours.
i say the same thing. Then, on a dark and stoney night i thought that it may be the advertiser's competition running their rival's ads as part of some insidious cooperate plot.
@@stevenclark2104 Hold on man... you mean that another company might be trying to make the competition look super evil by interrupting one of the funkiest interludes ever laid down on tape?? I am way too high for that one right now... I already had enough to think about... If they aren't doing that, they might read your comment and get on it pronto!!
@@fxsrider It's even bigger than that. RUclips knowingly let these advertisers piss people off in the hope that they upgrade and pay Premium. In the mean time the channel receives both advertising revenue or potential Premium subscribers. It's a win win for them.

Wish you were here was played at my Brothers funeral, Then at my Wife’s, I play it every day in remembrance. I miss you Brother, I miss my Cindy Lee❤❤😢😢 WISH YOU WERE HERE🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I am the same, I was born 1960. Got to see Floyd in Cleveland 1977 and Germany in 1980 when I was stationed in Nuremberg with US army. God we had the best drugs and music ❤
Born in 79 in Sept but you have no idea how happy I am to be a last call kid. An indigo child born to love the people of this world even though these mfs make it almost impossible to do so but god gave me jasmine so it was my calling to love and care for the impossible.
My best friend Butch Garvey introduced me to Pink Floyd in 1973. For that Im eternally grateful. Never see my friend anymore, but heres to you Butch. The best friend I ever knew.
Mine too, first full album I remember listening to was the wall round about 85 (6 years old), been my best album ever since, a masterpiece is an understatement, cheers bro 👍 wish you were here.
This Song is one of the best from Pink Floyd, I am 65jears old, I make with my son every jear one trip about 4000km in France, with motorcycles, and every evening with French wine, we hear this Musik, fantastic
same. i want my funeral service to just have a massive speaker on either side of the room, mats on the floor, and people can lay down with their eyes closed and listen to this lol
Truely the best and timeless piece of music of modern times. There was, is and maybe will not be a more extraordinary, emotional and structured „song“, as I guess. Now being almost 62, after thousands and thousands of musical pieces - this is it!
most of their songs barely have lyrics it's usually a very long intro with a short verse, followed by a guitar solo and the closing verse followed by another solo hell great gig in the sky has NO lyrics lol
@@adrianpaul1985 yea ik its a signature sign of psychedelic rock. Pink floyd HEAVILY influenced the popularity of the style And if youve ever listened on psychedelics youll know exaxtly why they dont have alot of lyrics.
I'm still listening to this masterpiece @ 61 years old. And it's just as mesmerizing as it was then. Ironic I'm going through some challenging times now as I was in the 70s ..love me some pink floyd. Now and then ..shine on & rock on you crazy diamonds out there in the world forever
How is 50 year old music more relevant Now than Ever. Pink Floyd music will be played for as many years left in the Earth is here. Passed down through Generations.

When aliens land on the earth hundreds of thousands of years later. They will find only a small couch, two pounds of mary jane, and a record player playing this song on loop forever with a note attached. "Enjoy".
I remember I was 16 when this song came out in 1975. It was on the radio all the time. I can remember that rock and roll music was just making it's transition from AM to FM. What good times they were! I'll never forget them!
As 15 year old at that time...I feel ya! We can't relay that era to those that didn't live through it...They can NEVER grasp the profundity of it all...We thought it would never end... 😥😥
I was 16 too, a little Kentucky girl visiting my big bro in Detroit. He played it for me while driving around showing me the city. I remember it like it was yesterday. The album still kicks ass!!!
Dam..I so much wish I could've been alive during those times..I was born in 80 n had to grow up through all that bs.. just seemed like such a much more mellow time, a time when people still cared not like now, not like the past 20yrs
@@auntihooha Me too... Full of tears right now. I'm scared. Time slipped past and all of a sudden I'm a middle aged man, my siblings are all in their 50s and 60s and my parents are 85 and 90. I don't want to let go of what I knew of as an eternity but it's happening and I'm genuinely scared.
I'm 31 just now listening. Damn near brought me to tears then charged me up. Crazy I remember hearing my parents listening as a child. I was far too young to appreciate
I listened to Floyd back then because it was cool. I listen to them now because it's just great fucking music. Nothing can touch the greatness of this band.
57 here, been listening to this for 47 of that. The 17 year old me met the 57 year old me in a smooth lake at midnight, floating on a log listening to this from the car on the beach. Blows my mind still. The music that is.
I was born 63,in 72 my sister Bonnie turned me onto this album,,,never looked back. It helped launch my almost 50 years in the biz..thanks Bonnie, Thanks Pink Floyd
My dad, born in1924, never had time for music especially mine but when the end was of this album was playing out once he quietly said "THATS NICE" I always think of him as it plays out.
my dad started singing this to me when i was 3? ( born in ‘72) and i was playing several pink floyd albums on guitar by the time i was 12- it’s my very favorite band of all time ✌🏽❤️ i think about my dad every time i’m listening to any pink floyd 💯❤️✌🏽☀️✨
Played this at the bar a young couple askedme who is this I said Floyd - the gal said they pretty good if they learn to sing they may make it. I just smiled. And thought am i that old
My Mother is in her dying bed as I hear this great band give it its all . I Thank her for haveing me as her son , God I Pray she Makes it into the 5TH Dimention soon !
Just read your comments about your mum and the 5th dimension so beautiful your words are and she is there now mark and such a wonderful song magical I should say shine on mum 🙏
Still gives me goosebumps, Floyd was my first band of “My” music and not my “parents” music like the Beatles and Stones, though I worship them also, I got turned on to Floyd by my music teacher in 6th grade, never been right since…😉
The 60s, 70s, and early 80s had awesome music and cool album designs. Grew up driving a motorcycle for work, pleasure, driving across this great country so many times I've lost count. Playing this song down here on a river on ga. Fl. Line.
What a perfect balance of emotions...Of the musical reflection of poignancy in the opening, the profundity of regrets in the Chorus wrt to 'the crazy diamond ', and the Geordie Roadie's existential calmness in life and the prospect of death. It's no wonder this has been one of the soundtracks of my 76 years defying the Second Law of Thermo-Dynamics.
I must say this song is the best representation of my life. Of any song I think of the Ocean Surf pounding over and over again as my view of the passage of time This song is great time passing in my life
No. Gilmore is going to play a few dates but Roger Waters does not want to be in the same room with David Gilmore and Richard Wright sadly passed about 20 years ago.
Saw Pink Floyd in 1974 at Trentham Gardens. Unforgettable! Didn't play this as Dark Side of the Moon had just been released. Incomparable. No one around like it today. Or, as good.
I'll never forget opening the cellophane on Dark Side of the Moon in my best schoolfriend's bedroom and us playing it for the first time...... And then this.... ❤
From Wikipedia-"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, which appeared on Pink Floyd's 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song is written about and dedicated to founder member Syd Barrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after becoming mentally ill.-The song was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett---Barrett was eased out of the band in 1968 because his drug use and deteriorating mental health were affecting his ability to integrate with the other band members and create and perform as a musician. He was replaced by his former school friend David Gilmour, who had initially been brought in as second guitarist. The remaining members of the band felt guilty about having removed him, but although they admired Barrett's creativity, they were concerned about his severe mental decline and felt it had been necessary.[8] "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" was first performed on Pink Floyd's 1974 French tour and was recorded for their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The track was originally intended to be a side-long composition, like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes", but was ultimately split into two parts and used to bookend the album, with other newly composed material acting as a bridge- - - - - - -Personnel - - Roger Waters - bass guitar, lead vocals, additional electric guitar on Part VIII, glass harp David Gilmour - electric guitars, backing vocals, Fender Stringmaster pedal steel guitar, additional bass guitar on Part VI, EMS Synthi AKS, glass harp Richard Wright - Hammond organ, ARP String Ensemble, Minimoog, quadruple-tracked EMS VCS 3, clavinet and electric piano on Part VIII, Steinway piano on Parts III, VI and IX, glass harp, backing vocals, Bösendorfer piano on the multi-channel re-release (recorded in 2008). Nick Mason - drums, percussion with: Dick Parry - baritone and tenor saxophones Carlena Williams - backing vocals Venetta Fields - backing vocals
The sad reality is that Barret was weighing PF down for a while before they let him go ( for the reasons you stated)… they gave him numerous chances to get help and return but he didn’t. He stopped being a creative force well before he was removed; and PF would never have risen to the heights they did if they had kept SB around…. Just saying.
I was so obsessed with this album back in 75, because I liked Syd so much, this album is the story of Syd, so tragic and so great, shine on you crazy diamond
IYKYK It's almost impossible for me to hear this without my emotions getting the best of me. The late seventies I experienced will never be forgotten. It's amazing to me how relevant these lyrics are today with regards to much of the goings on in the world today.
I was 16 years old when this was first released. Also one of the first vinyl LP albums I ever purchased. Amazing thing is I still have it today. Somewhere in the far-off future, there will still be people discovering the amazing work of Pink Floyd. "Classical music of the late 1900s"
You can really hear the Alan Parsons influence on this album...I was 15 in 75 and hearing this on vinyl for the very first time is a sublime memory...Thousands of listens later; It's even more profound!
Really? According to Wikipedia: "Alan Parsons, EMI staff engineer for Pink Floyd's previous studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon, declined to continue working with them due to him starting his own group and working on their first album." Otherwise, I'm with you - I will never grow tired of this masterpiece.
@@bfdmudk It seems I was mislead, by someone; I was sure I heard it from the horses mouth but; checking Wiki, he's not mentioned...Only as you stated...Now I have to go correct 578 comments...Pfft, thanks...:)...
@@oirampeceda2409 And you’re really making an ass of yourself again. The guy who commented thousands meant that“ he” personally has listened to Floyd a thousand times, not everyone in total. We are all well aware of the millions of listeners. And your reading comprehension is still as bad.
i discovered pink floyd a little before the symptoms of bipolar depression really came on me. when i began to experience panic episodes with auditory hallucinations this was the only song that could bring me back. syd barrett’s story really made me sad but his music and the whole wish you were here album were really there for me when i wouldn’t let anyone else be
This album is so great on so many levels it actually becomes surreal It is my ritual to listen to this entire album every sunday morning , it restarts and refreshes my life . I am ,spiritual! Not religious by any stretch, but this is like going to church for me
Pink Floyd albums are the only ones that make me sit still and listen to them all until they’re finished. Back in 75 we’d get high and just lay there going along for the ride.
So many comments of people who were xx years old in 1975, well unfortunately I was minus 21 years old when this song came out but still love it and love Pink Floyd in general!!
Great comment... I was 17 in 1975 and hitting the bong while groving on this masterpiece. Love how the generations get it together with timeless music.
Like another rocker said before me, my brother got me into The Wall. I turned him on to Dark Side of the Moon. Keep shining, Sam! You are always with me! ✌️💋
My top 5 are: On The Turning Away, High Hopes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb, Welcome To The Machine. Also, I love the song, Pigs, for sentimental reasons. Wish You Were Here is amazing and a classic too.
@@izzynutz2000 I was the Johnny come lately, the baby of 5 boys. The one up from me was 8 years my senior. So when I was 8, my 16 year old brother thought it to be funny to get his little brother high. And since then I have been a Zeppelin, Floyd, Sabbath fanatic. All 3 are very close to me and really shaped who I am today. I learned so much about life from there music. And today I can stand flat footed and say that PINK FLOYD is one of the greatest bands ever to walk this earth.
Hey richard...me ss eell.....65....now......been floating with the Floyd since a teenager....🪶🪶🪶🪶🎼🎼🎶🎵 today its bringing tears of lost time....🥀🥀🥀🥀🌺🪽🌻🌻🪷🌷 love from gypsy Sunshine 🌼🌻🪷🪷
Roger really was a bit of a prick ,but a masterpiece of music ,which wouldn't have been produced without all of the band ,you only ever hear one say it was all me .the others just smile and say nothing
Fav is Part whatever it is on flip side of record. Fricken bass rhythm with synth wind effect, just for starters. Reminds me of driving north on US 395 along the east side of the Sierras, once during meteor shower, too, too cool. We timed Wish to entering Yosemite, also, even if we had to FF the 8-track through half the album! Thanks for combining all the pieces into one!
This album was superb, and this track has always meant so much to me. Even though I am a TI aka Targeted Individual, I will always take immense strength from this song, and remain TRUE to both myself, my three brothers and one beautiful sister; and finally the memory of our deceased parents!
@@TrollOverBeethoven en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_individual. My corrupt LOCAL police force is targeting me by hacking all my emails, RUclips Account, Steam Account, bank & credit card accounts. They have also stolen my entire 25 year private pension and the list goes on. I am a retired Under-cover Police Officer that has come out of retirement and I am currently attached to Police HQ's Anti-Corruption Unit. So the corrupt ones have performed a total DDOS attack on me. 'We' will kick them all out of the force by this time next year.
Это целый мир... Необъятная вселенная... По крайней мере для меня. Ни когда не наслушаюсь. Мне 68. Буду слушать до конца. Я в этой музыке как в невесомости. Только я и эти звуки.

So sorry to hear of such a deep loss. Peace be with you both. xxx
No worries Darlin' we are all going home very soon.
77 years old. Have been listening to them to the greatest band for ever.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
No words
Amazing im 62 now and been listening to this for so long. Every year brings a different meaning,feeling to this song
I listened to Floyd back then because it was cool. I listen to them now because it's just great fucking music. Nothing can touch the greatness of this band.
The music is the same, but the meaning and the inner sensation changes, as the years go by
57 here, been listening to this for 47 of that. The 17 year old me met the 57 year old me in a smooth lake at midnight, floating on a log listening to this from the car on the beach. Blows my mind still. The music that is.
One of the best songs in Rock and Roll history, the four greatest chords ever.
I think it looks like rnb not like rnr
Realmente la música de esta .super banda esfasiinante
@@АлександрСмирнов-р4и2гwhat?
Gilmore is a composer not unlike Beethoven bach or any of the rest
I was born 63,in 72 my sister Bonnie turned me onto this album,,,never looked back. It helped launch my almost 50 years in the biz..thanks Bonnie,
Thanks Pink Floyd
Every comment just read are bang on the money wish all our loved ones were here forever pink Floyd ❤🙏🏴
Reminds me of my husband, who passed away. I can feel him in this music as if his body was next to mine.
Oh Amen
Shine on on
Shine On.......
👍
Miss you
My dad, born in1924, never had time for music especially mine but when the end was of this album was playing out once he quietly said "THATS NICE"
I always think of him as it plays out.
RIP ich bin bei Euch.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FATHER!!!
my dad started singing this to me when i was 3? ( born in ‘72) and i was playing several pink floyd albums on guitar by the time i was 12- it’s my very favorite band of all time ✌🏽❤️
i think about my dad every time i’m listening to any pink floyd 💯❤️✌🏽☀️✨
Played this at the bar a young couple askedme who is this I said Floyd - the gal said they pretty good if they learn to sing they may make it. I just smiled. And thought am i that old
If they don’t get it…it’s their loss❣️😎
4-ever Floyd ❤️🎼
❤we are a young way 🎉
Дада,да
Learn to sing? Clueless youth.
My Mother is in her dying bed as I hear this great band give it its all . I Thank her for haveing me as her son , God I Pray she Makes it into the 5TH Dimention soon !
I am so sorry to read that, Mark. I hope you're ok.
Peace be with you brother 🙏🏻
@@darrengadd5050 THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Please tell her to ask for Jesus's forgiveness and to take her home. God Bless you both.
Just read your comments about your mum and the 5th dimension so beautiful your words are and she is there now mark and such a wonderful song magical
I should say shine on mum 🙏
Still gives me goosebumps, Floyd was my first band of “My” music and not my “parents” music like the Beatles and Stones, though I worship them also, I got turned on to Floyd by my music teacher in 6th grade, never been right since…😉
We will never hear music of this kind anymore.sad but true
So true sadly.
No you won't..........it's pink floyd
No, not true....Porcupine Tree and Steve Wilson...the music lives on...
Try a band called We lost the Sea, you may like them.
@@MakTalMid Decent bands I'm sure, but Floyd decent? Ah hae ma doubts
The 60s, 70s, and early 80s had awesome music and cool album designs. Grew up driving a motorcycle for work, pleasure, driving across this great country so many times I've lost count. Playing this song down here on a river on ga. Fl. Line.
Pink Floyd, timeless music. It's like their music was just released yesterday.
yes it transcends all
What a perfect balance of emotions...Of the musical reflection of poignancy in the opening, the profundity of regrets in the Chorus wrt to 'the crazy diamond ', and the Geordie Roadie's existential calmness in life and the prospect of death. It's no wonder this has been one of the soundtracks of my 76 years defying the Second Law of Thermo-Dynamics.
It's so timeless and helps my brain grasp the concept of forever in eternity.
This is such a good album. It is by far my favorite Floyd album.
I must say this song is the best representation of my life.
Of any song
I think of the Ocean Surf pounding over and over again as my view of the passage of time
This song is great time passing in my life
i was 20 in 1975...omg, Time Flies but I still love Pink Floyd so much♥️
you're the same age as my dad wow
I was 18
You don't listen to Pink Floyd... You feel it...
I don't always listen to Punk Floyd, but when I do, so will my neighbors. !
feel it with your ears
@@kudosbudo it enters through your ears... but you feel it inside...
Just another masterpiece courtesy of David Gilmour and Pink Floyd. Such a stirring emotion-filled song.
Im 93 and i still love getting stoned wit pink Floyd
as one does.
And I love ya for it!😎🤘👍❤️
Hell yes! Your memories are a valuable repose for humanity.
Pink floyd is going back on tour again
The world needs them right now❤
Really
תמיד חדש
NO @@DebraRand-mx2rp
Sadly no😢
No. Gilmore is going to play a few dates but Roger Waters does not want to be in the same room with David Gilmore and Richard Wright sadly passed about 20 years ago.
GOD PINK FLOYED , BEEN HEARING U SINCE 72 , DAMN IT I LOVE U..... ❤️
Thanks, David Gilmour, for all your music. One of my human heroes.
pink floyd
Forgotten talent..
Saw Pink Floyd in 1974 at Trentham Gardens. Unforgettable!
Didn't play this as Dark Side of the Moon had just been released.
Incomparable. No one around like it today. Or, as good.
I was 18 when this album was released. I already had a copy of Dark Side of the Moon and was worried that Floyd could not match it. How wrong was I ❤
I'll never forget opening the cellophane on Dark Side of the Moon in my best schoolfriend's bedroom and us playing it for the first time......
And then this.... ❤
Musically, it's better than DSOTM, but not as complete an album.
@@ericriffel8954who's comparing? ❤
THE 70S WERE AWESOME !!!!!! LIFE WAS GREAT. ❤😊
Morning coffee and some herb..with a little floyd most excellent
We call it Wake n Bake!
Me too 😀
I swear these cords are played directly on my soul. Rip Luke and Deb miss you both.
YES!! WELL SAID
From Wikipedia-"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, which appeared on Pink Floyd's 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song is written about and dedicated to founder member Syd Barrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after becoming mentally ill.-The song was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett---Barrett was eased out of the band in 1968 because his drug use and deteriorating mental health were affecting his ability to integrate with the other band members and create and perform as a musician. He was replaced by his former school friend David Gilmour, who had initially been brought in as second guitarist. The remaining members of the band felt guilty about having removed him, but although they admired Barrett's creativity, they were concerned about his severe mental decline and felt it had been necessary.[8] "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" was first performed on Pink Floyd's 1974 French tour and was recorded for their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The track was originally intended to be a side-long composition, like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes", but was ultimately split into two parts and used to bookend the album, with other newly composed material acting as a bridge- - - - - - -Personnel - -
Roger Waters - bass guitar, lead vocals, additional electric guitar on Part VIII, glass harp
David Gilmour - electric guitars, backing vocals, Fender Stringmaster pedal steel guitar, additional bass guitar on Part VI, EMS Synthi AKS, glass harp
Richard Wright - Hammond organ, ARP String Ensemble, Minimoog, quadruple-tracked EMS VCS 3, clavinet and electric piano on Part VIII, Steinway piano on Parts III, VI and IX, glass harp, backing vocals, Bösendorfer piano on the multi-channel re-release (recorded in 2008).
Nick Mason - drums, percussion
with:
Dick Parry - baritone and tenor saxophones
Carlena Williams - backing vocals
Venetta Fields - backing vocals
The sad reality is that Barret was weighing PF down for a while before they let him go ( for the reasons you stated)… they gave him numerous chances to get help and return but he didn’t.
He stopped being a creative force well before he was removed; and PF would never have risen to the heights they did if they had kept SB around…. Just saying.
Thanks for this history, I wasn’t aware of any of this
Best music, best band love you PINK FLOYD
And I thought they were singing about me 😂
I'm 65 now and whenever this, or any other Pink Floyd track's played, I sit, I listen and, just for a little while, get lost in another world )O(
I was so obsessed with this album back in 75, because I liked Syd so much, this album is the story of Syd, so tragic and so great, shine on you crazy diamond
last time gilmour saw him he was buying 10000 white van heuson shirts fron Harrods in London..........Genius = part crazy and too much LSD
Syd truly was a mad genius. The road he went down was a tragic one, but his genius and his lunacy were intertwined like yin and yang. May he shine on!
Still a Floyd fan at 72 years of young age. Always will be. Shine On😮
This is timeless music, pure magic... All ages can appreciate.... Thank you PF ❤
Played this at my son’s memorial service. I couldn’t find a more appropriate song 🥰
I am very sorry for your loss Gina. You will meet again.
0:55
God bless 🙏
Pinkl Floyd ❤ my life
Im so very sorry for your loss. 😞✝️
IYKYK It's almost impossible for me to hear this without my emotions getting the best of me. The late seventies I experienced will never be forgotten. It's amazing to me how relevant these lyrics are today with regards to much of the goings on in the world today.
I was 16 years old when this was first released. Also one of the first vinyl LP albums I ever purchased. Amazing thing is I still have it today.
Somewhere in the far-off future, there will still be people discovering the amazing work of Pink Floyd. "Classical music of the late 1900s"
Wow! Can I , please, buy that album from you?
Sorry but not for sale... this actually sounds better from vinyl that other digital formats. Dark Side Of The Moon very much as well.
This album is just one of all of them I still have on vinyl.
I have all but 1 or two vinyl albums
You can really hear the Alan Parsons influence on this album...I was 15 in 75 and hearing this on vinyl for the very first time is a sublime memory...Thousands of listens later; It's even more profound!
Really?
According to Wikipedia: "Alan Parsons, EMI staff engineer for Pink Floyd's previous studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon, declined to continue working with them due to him starting his own group and working on their first album."
Otherwise, I'm with you - I will never grow tired of this masterpiece.
@@bfdmudk It seems I was mislead, by someone; I was sure I heard it from the horses mouth but; checking Wiki, he's not mentioned...Only as you stated...Now I have to go correct 578 comments...Pfft, thanks...:)...
Only, thousands of listeners later, really?
@@oirampeceda2409Thousands of listens later, not listener’s. Reading comprehension in 2023 is tough.
@@oirampeceda2409 And you’re really making an ass of yourself again. The guy who commented thousands meant that“ he” personally has listened to Floyd a thousand times, not everyone in total. We are all well aware of the millions of listeners. And your reading comprehension is still as bad.
i discovered pink floyd a little before the symptoms of bipolar depression really came on me. when i began to experience panic episodes with auditory hallucinations this was the only song that could bring me back. syd barrett’s story really made me sad but his music and the whole wish you were here album were really there for me when i wouldn’t let anyone else be
This album is so great on so many levels it actually becomes surreal
It is my ritual to listen to this entire album every sunday morning , it restarts and refreshes my life . I am ,spiritual!
Not religious by any stretch, but this is like going to church for me
For sure
That's such a brilliant personal ritual -thank you for sharing xx
@helenfelton2845 for sure , it's because we all need to maintain our perspective, and not lose sight of our horizon line .
Pink Floyd albums are the only ones that make me sit still and listen to them all until they’re finished. Back in 75 we’d get high and just lay there going along for the ride.
We’re still riding down Main Street blasting this NHS77!!
@@sayeedkhan2963 smokin.......
Get high. Drop out
I am smoking some fine indica enjoying the journey brother!!
This song has been on my Playlist for a long time. Thanks for the great music over all these years!
Was sitting farmers gate summer of 95....sun was scorching down barley fields were baking with heat..shine on U crazy diamond.. everyone can relate.
This is amazing 2am & loving hearing this again. Its like a memory rush to me.
Music....its eternal..
Never ever lose music 🎶🎵
I did this clean edit a long time ago cause no one would bother. thanks BRO now I have it on youtube.
Thanks from every pink Floyd fan on earth
So many comments of people who were xx years old in 1975, well unfortunately I was minus 21 years old when this song came out but still love it and love Pink Floyd in general!!
Great comment...
I was 17 in 1975 and hitting the bong while groving on this masterpiece.
Love how the generations get it together with timeless music.
I was 6 when this came out but was 8 when I bought it. And it is just as good if not better than the first time I heard it.
Simplemente un temazo,,!! Una obra maestra,, gracias Pink floyd por haber existido, gracias por darnos sueños,,y esperanzas,,!!! !!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Like another rocker said before me, my brother got me into The Wall. I turned him on to Dark Side of the Moon. Keep shining, Sam! You are always with me! ✌️💋
Thank you Pink Floyd for allowing me,us, to leave this world for awhile, again .. shine on my friends ❣️✌️💕
Many a night stoned out of my mind listening to floyd. Scary and dark times. Still good though.
Essa música não é só uma obra de arte. A primeira parte é simplesmente sublime.
Pink Floyd Was One Of The Greatest Bands of All Time! Thank You Poster For This Masterpiece!
Masterpiece. Top 3 Pink Floyd track for me.
My top 5 are: On The Turning Away, High Hopes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb, Welcome To The Machine. Also, I love the song, Pigs, for sentimental reasons. Wish You Were Here is amazing and a classic too.
My brother-in-law back in the day could not believe that I at 8 years old was into Pink Floyd that was almost 50 years ago
@@izzynutz2000 I was the Johnny come lately, the baby of 5 boys. The one up from me was 8 years my senior. So when I was 8, my 16 year old brother thought it to be funny to get his little brother high. And since then I have been a Zeppelin, Floyd, Sabbath fanatic. All 3 are very close to me and really shaped who I am today. I learned so much about life from there music. And today I can stand flat footed and say that PINK FLOYD is one of the greatest bands ever to walk this earth.
Hey richard...me ss eell.....65....now......been floating with the Floyd since a teenager....🪶🪶🪶🪶🎼🎼🎶🎵 today its bringing tears of lost time....🥀🥀🥀🥀🌺🪽🌻🌻🪷🌷 love from gypsy Sunshine 🌼🌻🪷🪷
Regardless of that has been said. Richard Wright was still an important ingredient in this classic.. Excellent edit by the way 🙂
You are so right and so many people just don't get it. He was so important
absolutely, agreed 100
Roger really was a bit of a prick ,but a masterpiece of music ,which wouldn't have been produced without all of the band ,you only ever hear one say it was all me .the others just smile and say nothing
Fav is Part whatever it is on flip side of record. Fricken bass rhythm with synth wind effect, just for starters. Reminds me of driving north on US 395 along the east side of the Sierras, once during meteor shower, too, too cool. We timed Wish to entering Yosemite, also, even if we had to FF the 8-track through half the album! Thanks for combining all the pieces into one!
As a professional stoner how can you not like Floyd!
Nough said
I think we appreciate them more as we age
Almost 65. I can't agree with you more !!!! 💯👍
This album was superb, and this track has always meant so much to me. Even though I am a TI aka Targeted Individual, I will always take immense strength from this song, and remain TRUE to both myself, my three brothers and one beautiful sister; and finally the memory of our deceased parents!
What do you mean "Targeted Individual" ?
@@TrollOverBeethoven en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_individual. My corrupt LOCAL police force is targeting me by hacking all my emails, RUclips Account, Steam Account, bank & credit card accounts. They have also stolen my entire 25 year private pension and the list goes on. I am a retired Under-cover Police Officer that has come out of retirement and I am currently attached to Police HQ's Anti-Corruption Unit. So the corrupt ones have performed a total DDOS attack on me. 'We' will kick them all out of the force by this time next year.
We are all targeted ❤
@@oirampeceda2409 So very true! Keep your mind stronger than your body and you will always defeat those targeting you!
What a TI?
Это целый мир... Необъятная вселенная... По крайней мере для меня. Ни когда не наслушаюсь. Мне 68. Буду слушать до конца. Я в этой музыке как в невесомости. Только я и эти звуки.
One of the very best of all time.
Love,love,love it...❤
Remaind me on Times, good Times..long ago...
❤
Brother took me to their concert in '86 probly the best concert I ever been to.
Parts 5-9 are Mr wrights dedication to Syd. RIP Richard … you were the spark of PF
Agree. When Syd left Richard Wright was the core of the music
Una joya, la creatividad en su máxima expresión en la música
