@@lzeb4730 My first experience of Floyd was when I was out of my mind on acid. A truly religious experience. But because I had those extremely memorable nights, I can now listen to them without, and still have the same experience.
Listening to the whole album straight through from beginning to end is an absolute must, even if you don't do it as a reaction. The whole thing flows from song to song like a journey down a river through a canyon.
The first time I heard Pink Floyd, I was getting into my friend Gilbert's Buick and we headed off to high school about 1973. I get in the car and we start passing around a big fat blunt like we did every morning before school and money is playing on Gilbert's 8-track tape player he just got the tape over the weekend. We get to school, everybody gets out of the car except for me, I stay in the car and I listen to the entire tape a couple of times and smoke a couple of cigarettes and get to school in time for third period. A couple weeks later, the day I bought my first 8-track player for my car Dark Side of the Moon was the 1st tape I bought..
SID STARTED THE GROUP IN 1966 UNFORTUNATELY SID HAD SEVERE MENTAL PROBLEMS AND KICKED OUT OF THE GROUP..THE SONG SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND WAS ABOUT SID.THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN.WAS THE ONLY ALBUM WITH SID.
Thank you very much for withholding your comments to the end -- greatly appreciated. Back when quadrophonics came in, this is one of the LPs I had in that format. Which is fitting because PF innovated by using a 4-channel sound system for live performances very early. This was a great track to hear in quad. I'm sure someone's mentioned that this album is best heard end-to-end in a single session, to retain the intended continuity. Alan Parsons was an engineer on this and he was largely responsible for the sound "samples". IIRC, it was recorded at Abby Road and they happened to have those around and Alan was excited to use them. Gilmore sang this one.
What you said there at the end was an astute observation. And they didn't have or use Auto-tune either! None of the bands did. Pure singing talent and style. Can't wait for you to hear Yes. Very different style of progressive rock. ✌️😎
There was no autotune. Nor was there any digital anything. In fact, they only had a 16 track system to make this album, which is INCREDIBLE that they made it having to use the analog equipment that they had way back then.
61 yrs old and have been immersed in the reaction world the last few years.This kid just has it. I have to paste what I said on his Pink Floyd Time reaction............ What an amazing reaction! insight! passion detail. And the rare capacity to listen to the whole song without pausing and remembers all the details & nuances to share! I have to subscribe.
You have to isten to the whole album. One songs flows into the next. Saw the "Dark Side of the Moon " tour in 1973. I'm still mind blown. We had never heard or saw anything like them. I'm a 65 year old grandmother & still rocking out. Glad you love our generations music. Rock on. ✌😮🌻🌻
I love that you are getting into the music I grew up with and that you don't pause the songs continously you need to listen to Brain Damage and One of My Turns after this. All Pink Floyd is great
"All" Floyd is great? You ever listen to Ummagumma? Much of Floyd was brilliant, but like all progressive rock bands, they experimented a lot and it didn't "all" work. Even Rush had some clunkers over 40 years of recording.
I agree: the full album is one of those rare cases in life where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The full album is the closest equivalent to a spiritual experience I have ever had in my life.
The money / change sound effects were recorded on a revox reel to reel recorder. The length of tape was then cut and taped together and looped around a mic stand... so it would loop... that's how music was made.. absolutely genius 😉 I have the dark side album on SACD surround sound.. outstanding!
Pink Floyd is so awesome. It´s a great rabbit hole to go down. I could also recommend Nightwish - The song Ghost love score live from Wacken in 2013.. Greatest live performance I have seen. Also Tool is another band that I really loved getting into. Keep up the good work man!
Pink Floyd is pure talent that takes everyone on a trip upon discovery. Most songs from "Dark Side Of The Moon" have parts of the other songs mingled in, either remembering what you heard three songs ago, or foreshadowing what you're about to hear. Sonic mastery.
Never mind what others say, just react to each song in your own time and when you are ready listen to the whole albums. The singer was David Gilmore who is also the lead guitarist. The bass player was Roger Waters. Syd Barrett was long gone by the time this was recorded. Syd was let go of early in 1968 I believe. Again, when you are ready you might check out some of Syd's songs including Astronomy Domine, Arnold Layne, Candy And A Currant Bun, See Emily Play and Matilda Mother. I also recommend a song or two from Syd's first solo album, The Madcap Laughs: Octopus and No Good Trying. I have yet to see anyone react to Syd's solo songs. They are different and remarkable for the simple fact that he was losing it at the time. Well, really, he had already lost it but the songs kept coming. I have been a big fan of Floyd since 1967. I saw them three times live in the early days. They have always been my favourite band and, in hindsight, they are the best band in the world ever. I love your reactions. You are a bit young to really get all the emotional impact and you're a man so it is not so easy to access the feelings this music stirs up, but wait maybe 50 years and listen again. Some of what you hear will break your heart. Thank you for your reactions and keep going. Oh and ignore the heretics. (Just kidding) Stick to Floyd for now. No need to be like all the other reactors. Be who you are.
Listening to Floyd since the early 70s . The good bands back then were even better live than on their albums , thats what great musicians they were . We expected them to be even better , the album was just the taster of what was to come . Syd Barret left Floyd in 1968 , his time in the band was very brief but his influence lasted throughout the bands history , to the point where they wrote " Shine On You Crazy Diamond " as a tribute to him in 1975 , an incredible song amongst all the many legendary songs .
I think you're the best reactor I've seen because you're so into the music and so open to it like I am. You're like an old man trapped in a young body 😅 And you respect the music enough to not interrupt the artist Awesome job dude! Love your work 🤘
When this epic came out I was 16 and I am still listening in June .......2021! It is ageless. There was so much good music from 1960 to the end of the 1970s. From 1980 to 2021 only a few decent pieces. All, mostly cheap and immemorable. I consider myself fortunate to have lived in the era of great music together with all the memories. I' d go back if I could. Comfortably Numb would get a thumbs up even from J S Bach.
Been watching a lot of these type of reaction vids for a while...some i like and some not so much...but I am subscribing to your channel...So great to hear your honest insight from a young persons perspective and must say you are spot on with your comments...I saw your Stairway reaction yesterday...mind blowing... I know! You should consider the Live from Japan version of Queensryche: Take hold of the flame if you haven't done that one yet...rock on!
The lead singer and lead guitar on "Money" are both David Gilmour. You will be hearing a great deal more about him as you go through the Pink Floyd catalog. A suggestion if you decide to continue this album: do "Time" and "Great Gig in the Sky" together and do "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" together. The whole album should be heard at once, but above all don't separate those two pairs.
When you get around to doing "The Wall" album, you should really do the movie version which is on the PF channel on Facebook. I cried every time I watched it; it's just so perfect.
Pink Floyd must be listened to in entirety. Single tracks is like reading one chapter in a book and then commenting on that one piece,you wouldn't do it would you. If you must do single tracks,then choose live performances. High Hopes is a must,as is Echoes at pompeii. Welcome to our 70's heaven bruv.
Definitely listen to the whole thing. Gilmour is singing this song. Alan Parsons produced this album, when "produce" was an action word. Actual work done in the studio. Keep rockin' dude.
Even after reacting to the songs, reacting to the album would be a new experience too. I think a lot of commenters here would agree that listening to DSotM still has a kind of reaction-effect on us. Really enjoying your reactions. As for the sounds, I think Alan Parsons or one of the other producers/mixers/etc. actually went with a recorder and got the sounds. I think for the clocks on "Time," he went to a shop down the street from the studio and asked to record them, the shopkeeper agreed, and he got the sounds to engineer into the mix. Again, keep it up, and you earned a subscription from me a few reactions ago! Hope more discover your passion!
🇨🇦🔥👍👏 For a change Try the Moody Blues. "Nights in white satin" The long version Or the live version You will appreciate this one too Yeah you could do the album Every song is related Keep the good work ✌
Check out the whole Album, Sid Left the band by Darkside of the Moon and Gilmore , Waters, and Wright did most the vocals, Besides “The Great Gig in the Sky,” Clare Torry. If you like this Album i suggest the next on should be 'Pink Floyd - Animals' start to finish is one of my all time favorites. thanks
This album is a story in a sense, as when we listened to this in college (even now), vary rarely did you ever jump any songs to get to another, as they all seemed to spill right into one another! So, we would just get tuned up, no lights except the receiver, of course a lava lamp, and would listen from start to finish. Then perhaps the Allmon Brothers, ZZ Top, Marshal Tucker Band, Yes, Led Zeplin, Joe Walsh, Elvin Bishop, Steely Dan, etc!
Your reactions to PF are my faves. I played this album until the grooves turned to dust. Your comments are spot on and your delight in discovering PF is infectious and so fun to watch.
The Bass makes this track. Hypnotic. The guitar is brilliant though. What I think is, that the Bass all the way through each track, makes me think of a heartbeat.If you think of the tracks on the Run/ Time/Us and Them/ great Gig in the sky/ Brain Damage it's about how people are affected by time and the passing of time. Yes please ;you have to play Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish you feel you have been on a journey
Dave Gilmour the guitarist is singing this one..Roger Waters the bassist is the other main singer who sings on other tracks on DSOTM and who wrote many of the lyrics. Most of the songs were written by the whole group collaborating together. Roger Waters wrote this song but Gilmour wanted a 4/4 beat to solo to so that was added for him..
Sid was long out of the band on this album. David Gilmore (vocalists and lead guitarist) , Roger Watters (vocals and bass), Richard Wright R..I.P. ((Vocals and keyboard ), Nick Mason on drums.
It’s lovely when today’s young adults appreciate & love music from my generation the 70’s & 80’s. Your reactions are great. You have to react to Pink Floyd ‘Echoes” Live at Pompaii 1972
Pink Floyd albums were always designed as a piece. They invented the "concept" album. THE WALL is the most epic of all the Floyd pieces. It unfolds like a dark epic novel and was the culmination of these types of albums taken to it's artistic extreme.
I've been watching documentaries on Pink Floyd lately, all kinds of backstory info, like on this song, etc. I have all the original albums still from my teen years, and now at 57 for some reason I am so into them again and want to know more and more, listening all day...and then there is David Gilmour's 1970's smile, I could look at that all day lol Enjoying your reactions :)
I am also 57 and have been down the Floyd rabbit hole since the early 70s . Its been a great journey and continues to be , always something new to hear in their music even after all these years .
@@AmandaE1964 oh, trust me, I have those "well loved" versions as well. My very first album ever was Dark Side. It's been played twice (once to record on 8-track, 2nd to record on cassette) but I realized how much I loved their music, when a new release came out, I'd buy two copies, one to play and one to collect. About 15 yrs ago a friend offered me $300 for the sealed WYWH...I laughed. Said, nope. These are all going to my kids once I go to the great gig in the sky...see what I did there?...;) Going to record conventions years ago was a highlight. Id spend an entire weekend going thru their bins looking for that one diamond and hope the seller didn't know what they had. I got a few steals that way. Ebay has since taken all the fun out of that.
This singer is the amazing guitarist, David Gilmour. The other primary singer you'll hear on Pink Floyd between 1973 (Dark Side of the Moon) and 1981- ish (The Final Cut) is Roger Waters.
(David Gilmore is Vocals and Lead Guitar.) Yes, Dude, YES react to the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album...Please! I think that many of the songs that you have already listened to, will Grow in their meaning to you! That and with the continuity many songs, and the entire album may make more sense to you too? Thanks so much for doing these reactions, as I know that there's a lot of work goes into your end of things and we all get to enjoy it with you. Keep up the awesome work you're doing and Keep Smiling...
Cool surprise for you dude Rodger waters have just announced a North American tour 2022 tour lots of dates you can experience these tunes... I experience then in 94 pulse tour....greating from Liverpool UK keep the good work up
Yes to reacting to the entire DSOTM album. The transitions from one song to the next are impeccable. You will be even more impressed by their musical brilliance .
The Dark Side of the Moon became one of the best-selling albums of all time and is in the top 25 of a list of best-selling albums in the United States. Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard album chart for 736 weeks from 1973 to 1988.
Syd Barrett founded the band but only really wrote the first album: The piper at the gate of dawn. And a "good bye" track, tragic, on the second album (Jugband Blues, the title of the track). After that Syd Barrett only appeared in the imagery of some lyrics, in the inspiration of the moods and themes, Syd Barrett is a bit mixed with Roger Waters in the "Pink" character depicted in "The Wall"... Oh by the way, which one is Pink ?
Do Dark Side of the Moon,Wish You Were Here and The Wall from start to finish,and maybe look up what songs were meant to be played together from these albums and upload them. Greetz from Zandvoort,The Netherlands. Love your channel hombre!
If you want to react to the whole album though, do it from the pulse concert. They did the entire Dark side live at pulse followed by three encore songs from two albums. Wish you were here, Comfortably Numb which you already watched and Run Like Hell!! Even if you don't react to the entire Pulse concert, you owe it too yourself to at least watch it.
Live Pulse concert songs to get a different range of songs: KEEP TALKING, ONE OF THESE DAYS, RUN LIKE HELL, their signature song of sorts SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND. Abbey Road Studio and Alan Parsons was the sounds engineer who had most of the sounds like people talking, money, clocks etc. Look up Alan Parsons, an artist in his own right.
Yes! You have to listen to Floyd as full albums(at least full sides)just for your own head,to fully appreciate it thoroughly.Dark Side and Wish you were here my favorites but The Wall was a little different and really good.Cant wait to see your reaction.
I'm happy that you as representative of your Generation are starting to take a step forward walking down in the real music path, now that you're aware.. discover the real magic musical trip of their earlier works open up the box and start to review the whole "Pink Floyd live at Pompeii" docu.film back in 1972, you will be amazed!
See, Pink Floyd can even do Funk!!! Strangely this was the first song off the Dark Side of the Moon album I heard. Immediately went out to buy the album.... The rest is history 😉
David Gilmore is the voice and the guitarist, brilliant. Roger waters also sings and plays the Bass and is the lyrical mastermind of the band through their greatest era. Try Hey You, and Shine on you crazy diamond.
Floyd did mainly concept albums. Syd is not a part of Floyd. It’s David Gilmour and RogerWaters along with Richard Wright. It’s Gilmour’s voice you like so much. Syd was only on albums from 67 and before.
MTV helped kill the qaulity of music, I turned off my radio for years because the music became so homogeneous. Then as I was moving I turned on my radio to discover that music was back when heard tool and sublime. Good music is out there unfortunately it doesn't receive much air time on the radio unless you're fortunate enough to have a good independent radio station within reception range. I appreciate your enthusiasm and subscribed so I could relive my enthusiasm at first hearing the music of my life.
My man ure doing a fantastic job don't change a thing. & Yes do the whole album. Also keep reacting after the song is finished it's the right way. Also a big congrats on finding P F there a top 3 group of all time. Peace bro.
This may have been said before but Floyd only really released one commercial single, which was "Another Brick in the Wall, pt2" Otherwise their music is all album based. Radio stations around the world hated these concept style albums as it simply did not suit their 3min tack based format and as a result Pink Floyd, Yes and the like simply passed people by. Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, The wall, and arguably Animals were all albums to be listened to in one go. (or at least in two halves as these were all on vinyl only when released.) Later albums could be listened too in different order as the tracks tended to stand by themselves. David Gilmore, apart from being, in my view, the most emotive guitarist in the world, has a superb voice and has hung onto this ability for 40 + years.
Rock bands in the 60s and 70s often experimented with new technologies to give them unique sounds. Pink Floyd took that to the next level by adding non-musical sound effects, people talking and other background noises which work incredibly well with their songs. Pink Floyd could build a legendary song around a duck quacking. Modern music seems to focus more on fast production and conformity which makes most songs sound very similar. The instrumentation often just sampled from existing music or computer generated while the singers are auto tuned to mask mediocrity or lack of talent. There is very little interest in taking risks other than explicit lyrics or shocking subject matter.
Just to give you an idea of what went into the "attention to detail" - First, you have to remember this album was made in 1972. There was no such thing as digital anything. It was all analog (16-track 2 inch tape). The sound of the change at the beginning is five different cash registers and two handfuls of coins bassist Roger Waters threw into a bowl on his wife's pottery wheel. The section of the song is in 7/4 time at 120 beats per minute. To get the timing right so that the sound of the change and cash registers matches with the playing that hasn't started yet you've got to figure out how much tape needs to play to fit the number of beats it needs to play for (four seconds). Then you've got to figure how long of a cash register sound you need for each register so that they play for the number of beats required (five at 1/2 second each, so 2 1/2 seconds total) and how many seconds of each change type you need (one beat each, 1/2 second each, one second). Now, you've got to figure out how many inches of tape that is going to require at 15 inches of tape per second. You would think that would be easy (4 x 15). No. You a 1/2 second dead beat to take into consideration (7/4 time not 8/4).Then, you've got to figure out where to start that tape so that it loops on the right beats of the melody. Then you've got to figure out where on the other tape to overdub it into the overall piece so that it loops with the rest of the instruments correctly. The song took two weeks to record. That four-second bit of sound took nearly a month to produce in post-production. And that's just the change. You gotta go through the same process for each of those voices you hear at the end.
What these guys would do in the recording studio is put sound down on tape then cut the tape physically measure it the exact length and do another sound cut that tape physically measure it to an exact length and tape it back on and record it all together! I've read this in several of their biographies. This is why back in the seventies in the analog era it would take them a long time to put an album together or at least part of the reason! Rodger Waters made one of the sounds at the beginning with coins in a clay jar his wife had made while spinning the jar with the coins inside of it and recorded that sound.
Sometimes it hard to understand what they’re singing, get the lyrics to really get the meaning behind the songs. Listen to Animals…start to finish…it’s foreboding
@ 8:08 The whole album is a story, a theme really with related songs many blending into the next one. Continue with Side 2 and do the next one "Us and Them". Did you hear the keyboard coming in at the very end? That was the start of it. When you finish doing Side 2, go back to Side 1 with "Speak To Me" and do all those up to Time and Great Gig, which you already have. Then you'll have all of Dark Side of the Moon in your growing library. But hey, if you're intrigued by our suggesting it, start at the beginning and skip the tracks you've done. That would be awesome too. We just like watching you digging this music and talking about it! we did the same back then too!! LOL! As far as to what album to suggest next, that's up to you. Perhaps continue exploring all their post-Dark Side albums and later take in the earlier works which will really blow your mind!! They did a lot of instrumental work in the past too. ✌️😎
So good to see younger people appreciating how good older music is. I love your enthusiasm, keep up the good work 🙂
Thanks so much!
David Gilmour is the singer. Also one of the best guitarists who has ever lived. Some of the songs you have listened to are from different albums too.
Pink Floyd.....no drugs needed. Let the music take you to different places and times through different emotions.
Definitely, people over emphasize them as a druggie band.
@@lzeb4730 My first experience of Floyd was when I was out of my mind on acid. A truly religious experience. But because I had those extremely memorable nights, I can now listen to them without, and still have the same experience.
but drugs help sometimes
Disclaimer: no computer software had anything to do with making this song.
Listening to the whole album straight through from beginning to end is an absolute must, even if you don't do it as a reaction. The whole thing flows from song to song like a journey down a river through a canyon.
And smoke ‘em if ya’ got em’.
Supposedly their soundtrack for the Wizard of Oz....
@@BogeyChef12 NO. Only an idiot would think you need drugs to thoroughly enjoy Pink Floyd.
Gilmore / Waters singing
in the dark, with a really good joint, through headphones!
The first time I heard Pink Floyd, I was getting into my friend Gilbert's Buick and we headed off to high school about 1973. I get in the car and we start passing around a big fat blunt like we did every morning before school and money is playing on Gilbert's 8-track tape player he just got the tape over the weekend. We get to school, everybody gets out of the car except for me, I stay in the car and I listen to the entire tape a couple of times and smoke a couple of cigarettes and get to school in time for third period.

SID STARTED THE GROUP IN 1966 UNFORTUNATELY SID HAD SEVERE MENTAL PROBLEMS AND KICKED OUT OF THE GROUP..THE SONG SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND WAS ABOUT SID.THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN.WAS THE ONLY ALBUM WITH SID.
Pink floyd played all Dark Side of the Moon in sequence live on PULSE Concert 1994 (best version remasterized 2019). Amazing
Thank you very much for withholding your comments to the end -- greatly appreciated.

Gilmore sang this one.
This album was on Billboard’s top 500 albums for 15 years.
By ALL MEANS... play the whole album.
100% right.......
Yup. Front to back, beginning to end. Exactly the way the album is meant to be listened to.
Syd Barrett had left the group by the time this album was released ( 1973 ). Roger Waters is the bassist. David Gilmour is on lead guitar & vocals.
Also, Roger Waters was a bandleader and a lyrics writer.
it's a concept album, where every track morphs into the next, as if they're all one song, so do it that way
What you said there at the end was an astute observation. And they didn't have or use Auto-tune either! None of the bands did. Pure singing talent and style. Can't wait for you to hear Yes. Very different style of progressive rock. ✌️😎

Another iconic guitar solo. And the way they used that alto sax was just brilliant.
the singer AND leadguitarist is david gilmour.
You definitely have to react to the album The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon beginning to end they awesome
I agree: the full album is one of those rare cases in life where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The full album is the closest equivalent to a spiritual experience I have ever had in my life.
Dude you are so spot on. I’m so happy I got to grow up listening to them. Listen to the entire album start to finish. You won’t regret it. 🤘😄🎸

Yuma here. Hi guy, Fantastic analysis. Excellent job. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
All three times I saw Pink Floyd, they did Dark Side of The Moon start to finish without pause. Totally mind blowing.
I think you're the best reactor I've seen because you're so into the music and so open to it like I am. You're like an old man trapped in a young body 😅
And you respect the music enough to not interrupt the artist
Awesome job dude! Love your work 🤘

If you must do single tracks,then choose live performances.
High Hopes is a must,as is Echoes at pompeii.
Welcome to our 70's heaven bruv.
Another great review, My Friend.
Excellent Song.
So darn good.
Keep Rockin'

I feel like I was blessed to grow up in the 60s and 70s !!!
Definitely listen to the whole thing. Gilmour is singing this song. Alan Parsons produced this album, when "produce" was an action word. Actual work done in the studio. Keep rockin' dude.
Even after reacting to the songs, reacting to the album would be a new experience too. I think a lot of commenters here would agree that listening to DSotM still has a kind of reaction-effect on us. Really enjoying your reactions.
As for the sounds, I think Alan Parsons or one of the other producers/mixers/etc. actually went with a recorder and got the sounds. I think for the clocks on "Time," he went to a shop down the street from the studio and asked to record them, the shopkeeper agreed, and he got the sounds to engineer into the mix.
Again, keep it up, and you earned a subscription from me a few reactions ago! Hope more discover your passion!
🇨🇦🔥👍👏
For a change
Try the
Moody Blues. "Nights in white satin"
The long version
Or the live version
You will appreciate this one too
Yeah you could do the album
Every song is related
Keep the good work ✌
Or The Doors/The Eagles/Fleetwood Mac/Gram Parsons/Righteous Brothers, etc
Have a cigar,, welcome to the machine,, shine on you crazy diamond
I have seen Pink Floyd LIVE 4 times and have an autographed album from David Gilmour.... They are AWESOME.... It is Gilmour on vocals and guitars.
Check out the whole Album, Sid Left the band by Darkside of the Moon and Gilmore , Waters, and Wright did most the vocals, Besides “The Great Gig in the Sky,” Clare Torry.
If you like this Album i suggest the next on should be 'Pink Floyd - Animals' start to finish is one of my all time favorites.
thanks
I don't think if he's ready for animals.
@@timothybyrom5560 I agree. A bit more time on the Dark Side Of The Moon is needed first
I like that you play the whole song.
It is necessary to get the whole vibe.
This album is a story in a sense, as when we listened to this in college (even now), vary rarely did you ever jump any songs to get to another, as they all seemed to spill right into one another! So, we would just get tuned up, no lights except the receiver, of course a lava lamp, and would listen from start to finish. Then perhaps the Allmon Brothers, ZZ Top, Marshal Tucker Band, Yes, Led Zeplin, Joe Walsh, Elvin Bishop, Steely Dan, etc!
Your reactions to PF are my faves. I played this album until the grooves turned to dust. Your comments are spot on and your delight in discovering PF is infectious and so fun to watch.
The Bass makes this track. Hypnotic. The guitar is brilliant though. What I think is, that the Bass all the way through each track, makes me think of a heartbeat.If you think of the tracks on the Run/ Time/Us and Them/ great Gig in the sky/ Brain Damage it's about how people are affected by time and the passing of time. Yes please ;you have to play Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish you feel you have been on a journey
Pink Floyd released its first album in 1967, but Syd Barrett was booted from the band after its second release.
Suggest you now see their live performance of SORROW from their PULSE GIG.😃
Syd Barret left the group early in the pink floyd career, and the amazing vocalist the you mentioned is also the amazing guitarist David Gilmore.
Dave Gilmour the guitarist is singing this one..Roger Waters the bassist is the other main singer who sings on other tracks on DSOTM and who wrote many of the lyrics. Most of the songs were written by the whole group collaborating together. Roger Waters wrote this song but Gilmour wanted a 4/4 beat to solo to so that was added for him..
the Planetarium in St. Louis used to do a laser light show to this album. start to finish-it was awesome!
Sid was long out of the band on this album. David Gilmore (vocalists and lead guitarist) , Roger Watters (vocals and bass), Richard Wright R..I.P. ((Vocals and keyboard ), Nick Mason on drums.
It’s lovely when today’s young adults appreciate & love music from my generation the 70’s & 80’s. Your reactions are great.
You have to react to Pink Floyd ‘Echoes” Live at Pompaii 1972
You should definitely listen to it right through!! Also, The Wall and Animals are a must to do as full albums. Prepare to be blown away!!
I just would like to say I really enjoy your passion and that you don’t interrupt the songs
Pink Floyd albums were always designed as a piece. They invented the "concept" album. THE WALL is the most epic of all the Floyd pieces. It unfolds like a dark epic novel and was the culmination of these types of albums taken to it's artistic extreme.
I've been watching documentaries on Pink Floyd lately, all kinds of backstory info, like on this song, etc. I have all the original albums still from my teen years, and now at 57 for some reason I am so into them again and want to know more and more, listening all day...and then there is David Gilmour's 1970's smile, I could look at that all day lol Enjoying your reactions :)
I am also 57 and have been down the Floyd rabbit hole since the early 70s . Its been a great journey and continues to be , always something new to hear in their music even after all these years .
57 as well here, have all their albums original release still sealed. Wish you were here still in the dark blue wrapper is my prized possession.
@@jhoward9257 . And all Floyd fans 🙂 . When I'm listening i am straight back to the 70s .
@@jimo7593 Thats amazing! My albums were well loved and I'm afraid it shows.
@@AmandaE1964 oh, trust me, I have those "well loved" versions as well. My very first album ever was Dark Side. It's been played twice (once to record on 8-track, 2nd to record on cassette) but I realized how much I loved their music, when a new release came out, I'd buy two copies, one to play and one to collect. About 15 yrs ago a friend offered me $300 for the sealed WYWH...I laughed. Said, nope. These are all going to my kids once I go to the great gig in the sky...see what I did there?...;) Going to record conventions years ago was a highlight. Id spend an entire weekend going thru their bins looking for that one diamond and hope the seller didn't know what they had. I got a few steals that way. Ebay has since taken all the fun out of that.
The Wall. This is a great album from beginning to end. The movie is even better, but hearing the audio first makes the movie even better.
This singer is the amazing guitarist, David Gilmour. The other primary singer you'll hear on Pink Floyd between 1973 (Dark Side of the Moon) and 1981- ish (The Final Cut) is Roger Waters.
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here. Animals
The Wall. All these albums will blow your mind
They did a live set for live 8, when they were all 100 years old, worth a watch for sure
(David Gilmore is Vocals and Lead Guitar.) Yes, Dude, YES react to the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album...Please! I think that many of the songs that you have already listened to, will Grow in their meaning to you! That and with the continuity many songs, and the entire album may make more sense to you too? Thanks so much for doing these reactions, as I know that there's a lot of work goes into your end of things and we all get to enjoy it with you. Keep up the awesome work you're doing and Keep Smiling...
For sure, gotta do the whole album.
Hey guys check out my pateron I got some great videos I know u will love on their Patreon.com/rockmusicpodcast
Cool surprise for you dude Rodger waters have just announced a North American tour 2022 tour lots of dates you can experience these tunes... I experience then in 94 pulse tour....greating from Liverpool UK keep the good work up
@@wjdwjd-wf4mb any news on locations
My faves are Us and Them and Echoes
Live in Pompei
Yes to reacting to the entire DSOTM album. The transitions from one song to the next are impeccable. You will be even more impressed by their musical brilliance .
The Dark Side of the Moon became one of the best-selling albums of all time and is in the top 25 of a list of best-selling albums in the United States. Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard album chart for 736 weeks from 1973 to 1988.
Syd Barrett founded the band but only really wrote the first album: The piper at the gate of dawn. And a "good bye" track, tragic, on the second album (Jugband Blues, the title of the track).
After that Syd Barrett only appeared in the imagery of some lyrics, in the inspiration of the moods and themes, Syd Barrett is a bit mixed with Roger Waters in the "Pink" character depicted in "The Wall"...
Oh by the way, which one is Pink ?
Do Dark Side of the Moon,Wish You Were Here and The Wall from start to finish,and maybe look up what songs were meant to be played together from these albums and upload them.
Greetz from Zandvoort,The Netherlands.
Love your channel hombre!
I can’t listen to this, without visualizing Dorothy opening the door, of her house and stepping into The Land of Oz.
Brilliant review.
Enjoyed it.
Keep Rocking

Thanks, will do!
If you want to react to the whole album though, do it from the pulse concert. They did the entire Dark side live at pulse followed by three encore songs from two albums. Wish you were here, Comfortably Numb which you already watched and Run Like Hell!! Even if you don't react to the entire Pulse concert, you owe it too yourself to at least watch it.
Live Pulse concert songs to get a different range of songs: KEEP TALKING, ONE OF THESE DAYS, RUN LIKE HELL, their signature song of sorts SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND. Abbey Road Studio and Alan Parsons was the sounds engineer who had most of the sounds like people talking, money, clocks etc. Look up Alan Parsons, an artist in his own right.
Yes! You have to listen to Floyd as full albums(at least full sides)just for your own head,to fully appreciate it thoroughly.Dark Side and Wish you were here my favorites but The Wall was a little different and really good.Cant wait to see your reaction.
I'm happy that you as representative of your Generation are starting to take a step forward walking down in the real music path, now that you're aware.. discover the real magic musical trip of their earlier works open up the box and start to review the whole "Pink Floyd live at Pompeii" docu.film back in 1972, you will be amazed!
The Dark Side of the Moon loops over and over and yes please do the album in its entirety
"Us and Them" and "Any Colour You Like," follow "Money," on the album.
Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album spent a record 950 weeks on the Billboard 200.
See, Pink Floyd can even do Funk!!! Strangely this was the first song off the Dark Side of the Moon album I heard. Immediately went out to buy the album.... The rest is history 😉
David Gilmore is the voice and the guitarist, brilliant. Roger waters also sings and plays the Bass and is the lyrical mastermind of the band through their greatest era. Try Hey You, and Shine on you crazy diamond.
Floyd did mainly concept albums. Syd is not a part of Floyd. It’s David Gilmour and RogerWaters along with Richard Wright. It’s Gilmour’s voice you like so much. Syd was only on albums from 67 and before.
It's great to see youngsters appreciate the good stuff!
Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1-5 and 6-9 will blow your mind
The singer’s name is David Gilmour. He’s also the guitar player. This album was made a few years after Sid Barrette had left the band.
MTV helped kill the qaulity of music, I turned off my radio for years because the music became so homogeneous. Then as I was moving I turned on my radio to discover that music was back when heard tool and sublime. Good music is out there unfortunately it doesn't receive much air time on the radio unless you're fortunate enough to have a good independent radio station within reception range. I appreciate your enthusiasm and subscribed so I could relive my enthusiasm at first hearing the music of my life.
My man ure doing a fantastic job don't change a thing. & Yes do the whole album. Also keep reacting after the song is finished it's the right way. Also a big congrats on finding P F there a top 3 group of all time. Peace bro.
Welcome home bro to the Floyd family and like your mum they never let you down, enjoy forever we all have 😊
Pink Floyd definitely had some great bass lines.
This may have been said before but Floyd only really released one commercial single, which was "Another Brick in the Wall, pt2"
Otherwise their music is all album based.
Radio stations around the world hated these concept style albums as it simply did not suit their 3min tack based format and as a result Pink Floyd, Yes and the like simply passed people by.
Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, The wall, and arguably Animals were all albums to be listened to in one go. (or at least in two halves as these were all on vinyl only when released.)
Later albums could be listened too in different order as the tracks tended to stand by themselves.
David Gilmore, apart from being, in my view, the most emotive guitarist in the world, has a superb voice and has hung onto this ability for 40 + years.
BTW.... when you start a PINK FLOYD song be sure to spark up a bowl first and use head phones..... You'll know why.
Rock bands in the 60s and 70s often experimented with new technologies to give them unique sounds. Pink Floyd took that to the next level by adding non-musical sound effects, people talking and other background noises which work incredibly well with their songs. Pink Floyd could build a legendary song around a duck quacking.
Modern music seems to focus more on fast production and conformity which makes most songs sound very similar. The instrumentation often just sampled from existing music or computer generated while the singers are auto tuned to mask mediocrity or lack of talent. There is very little interest in taking risks other than explicit lyrics or shocking subject matter.
Just to give you an idea of what went into the "attention to detail" - First, you have to remember this album was made in 1972. There was no such thing as digital anything. It was all analog (16-track 2 inch tape). The sound of the change at the beginning is five different cash registers and two handfuls of coins bassist Roger Waters threw into a bowl on his wife's pottery wheel. The section of the song is in 7/4 time at 120 beats per minute. To get the timing right so that the sound of the change and cash registers matches with the playing that hasn't started yet you've got to figure out how much tape needs to play to fit the number of beats it needs to play for (four seconds). Then you've got to figure how long of a cash register sound you need for each register so that they play for the number of beats required (five at 1/2 second each, so 2 1/2 seconds total) and how many seconds of each change type you need (one beat each, 1/2 second each, one second). Now, you've got to figure out how many inches of tape that is going to require at 15 inches of tape per second. You would think that would be easy (4 x 15). No. You a 1/2 second dead beat to take into consideration (7/4 time not 8/4).Then, you've got to figure out where to start that tape so that it loops on the right beats of the melody. Then you've got to figure out where on the other tape to overdub it into the overall piece so that it loops with the rest of the instruments correctly. The song took two weeks to record. That four-second bit of sound took nearly a month to produce in post-production. And that's just the change. You gotta go through the same process for each of those voices you hear at the end.
I had read there was a Record Co. in Germany that all they did was print Dark Side of the Moon Albums for 30 years.
What these guys would do in the recording studio is put sound down on tape then cut the tape physically measure it the exact length and do another sound cut that tape physically measure it to an exact length and tape it back on and record it all together! I've read this in several of their biographies. This is why back in the seventies in the analog era it would take them a long time to put an album together or at least part of the reason! Rodger Waters made one of the sounds at the beginning with coins in a clay jar his wife had made while spinning the jar with the coins inside of it and recorded that sound.
Astronomy Domine From 1994 tour pulse 👍 RIP SYD Barrett 🙏
Definitely do the whole album. A nice smooth ride. By the by David Gilmore, both lead guitar and vocals.
Sometimes it hard to understand what they’re singing, get the lyrics to really get the meaning behind the songs. Listen to Animals…start to finish…it’s foreboding
Next? "Great Gig in the Sky".
Out of body experience. Enjoy! 😎
He already did it :)
@ 8:08 The whole album is a story, a theme really with related songs many blending into the next one. Continue with Side 2 and do the next one "Us and Them". Did you hear the keyboard coming in at the very end? That was the start of it. When you finish doing Side 2, go back to Side 1 with "Speak To Me" and do all those up to Time and Great Gig, which you already have. Then you'll have all of Dark Side of the Moon in your growing library. But hey, if you're intrigued by our suggesting it, start at the beginning and skip the tracks you've done. That would be awesome too. We just like watching you digging this music and talking about it! we did the same back then too!! LOL! As far as to what album to suggest next, that's up to you. Perhaps continue exploring all their post-Dark Side albums and later take in the earlier works which will really blow your mind!! They did a lot of instrumental work in the past too. ✌️😎
