    Back in the 90's I saw a Pink Floyd laser light show inside a planetarium. Total darkness, seats leaned back, surround sound stereo, and the entire concave ceiling was the projection screen. So cool to experience the music like that in a pre-internet, pre-cell phone, pre-VR, physically immersive environment.

    Floyd are my favourite band (doesn't make me a minority race I know.) This is the first reaction I've ever seen to this song and it was good one!
    I know all Floyd fans will be "hating" on me,but I think Wright was underrated because of Gilmore and Waters.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

      yeah, i've always said if Animals or wywh had come before dsotm the world would've put them on top and slated dsotm as just another album. Maybe who knows huh. wish folk would stop bad mouthing Syd too, i'd like to see them write and produce two top selling albums with a head full of acid, i can't even make a cup of tea when i'm trippin'.

    When I was a kid (10-12 years old), this song really scared me. But yet I was strangely drawn to it. It's fantastic (this whole album is fantastic, and it's my favorite Pink Floyd album). By the way, did you notice that Nick Mason took a break during this entire song?

  • @ignatzmuskrat3000

    Thx for also showing the video. That is the second time I've seen it. The first time was in '77 at The Omni from the 22nd row projected from behind on "The Moon". Very kewl to see it in better resolution. But, where are the laser beams??

  • @matthewchambers-sinclair8772

    Great reaction! I first heard this song back in '75 thanks to my older brother -- it depressed me beyond words at the time and still does. Some of us take to the machine better than others, I suppose.

    To let you know that's the exact same video they had playing behind them in 1977 during their "In the flesh" tour! When the blood ocean turned into hands two girls in front of me that bragged that they had taken acid both hit the floor and had to be hauled away by either security or paramedics! On the way in I was walking with my wife and they actually looked at us and said we just took some acid and we can't wait to hear they're song Money!! I had seen them a few years before and I asked you know who these guys are and they go yeah!! They just weren't prepared for that concert cuz it was very intense and I saw at least a dozen people get hauled away!! I've been at least a 100 concerts in my life and never seen a more intense concert than this one including the Pulse concert!! I'm still holding out hope but not as much as I used to that they filmed that 1977 concert somewhere!!!🤞!!!

    This recording was dedicated to the original founder/member of the group Syd Barrett. If you listen closely at the very end you can hear people in a bar saying "hey Syd" in several spots. Very hard to detect though. Great recording as are all their works.

  • @janistan
    @janistan Год назад +6

    Interesting to watch Dev's first reaction to this part of "Wish you were here". I don't think she liked it a lot, mostly due to the overwhelming use of "synthesizer" throughout? Don't worry, it will pass when you listen to the entire album a few times more, and realize why "Welcome to the Machine" were made to be exactly so syntezised, dark and brutal as it is. So WELCOME to the party, you are not alone!

    • @MusicforBusyPeople
      @MusicforBusyPeople  Год назад +2

      Afterwards she told me she liked it, including the synth. I think sometimes our initial expressions don't reflect our feelings after experiencing the whole song.

    You forgot an incense burning and a black light or lava lamp, maybe both going.
    Then you're ready for Floyd.
    Oh I had 2 of the 3 back in high school in '75. No lava lamp, then got 5 or 6 now.

  • @scozz6139
    @scozz6139 Год назад

    Again, they're talking about Syd Barrett, the whole album is really about Syd Barrett, he's the one they, Wish Were Here.
    The second person "You" lyric throughout the song, is Syd. Syd played a mean guitar, Syd loved to drive his Jaguar, Syd bought a guitar to punish his ma, Syd didn't like school, etc.,
    To quote an old saying, 'you get the drift', lol.

    Do you know that no one from Pink Floyd sings this. David and Roger were having a hard time getting a vocal they liked. A friend of the band Roy Harper, who was in the studio at the time, thought he could pull it off and that's who we're hearing.

If you are referring to Patreon, there is a $3, $5, $10 or $25 level, depending on what you want. If you are referring to something else, I apologize & feel free to clarify. 😀

    My least favourite song on WYWH, probably because I dislike synths with a vengeance lol. It just doesn’t convey or convince the listener of the intention behind it, compared to everything else on the album. There you go. I’ve chucked me two pennorth in t’ hat, like.
