“The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh, by the way, which one’s Pink?” Clearly throwing shade at the disingenuous music industry. One of my favourite lines in all of music.
Alan Parsons was (and still is) a phenomenally talented sound engineer who went to work as an assistant sound engineer at age 18 in 1967 at the Abbey Road studios, and did some fantastic work on The Beatles "Abbey Road" album as well as DSoTM, for which he received a Grammy nomination. He also worked on Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat", and formed his own band in 1975 called "The Alan Parsons Project" which is why you are confused. This song "Have a Cigar" was actually sung by Roy Harper who was hanging around in the studio at the time, and when David Gilmour and Roger Waters couldn't decide on which of them was going to do the vocals, Roy offered to give it a try, and that's the version that made it onto the album.
Roger Waters was originally supposed to sing the song but he had strained vocal cords after Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Gilmour did not want to sing this song. That's why they asked Roy Harper ...
This is one of my fave all time track intros, i can just imagine a sharp dressed 70's dude walking down the street of some 70's gangster film with this playing in the background, ultra cool and funky!!!!! The instrumentation and vocals are amazing!. I was born 10 years after this track came out so i never really listened to till 30 years later in my 20's!
You bet! Been listening to KSHE since 1970-Still do...Will never forget the first time I heard D.S.O.T.M.-1973-I was 17 and I knew I was hearing something epic!
I'm going through your reactions from the beginning, sort of Rusty reacts to the reaction of a new Pink Floyd fan. Yeah. Incredible. Welcome to the club!
This is Roy Harper singing because Roger, Dave or Richard could not get it down, Roy was in the next studio, so they got him to lay down the track, that's what is amazing about Floyd, it's about the music, always was.
Hello! Thank you for the video!Please pay attention to the young singer Diana Ankudinova.Make reactions to the songs of Wicked game, Human🌞🌞🌞DIANA ANKUDINOVA is a talented young singer. I would like to know your opinion. I think you will be surprised. Diana has a very unusual voice and artistic presentation for her age.🌹🌹🌹 Thanks in advance
Whew! Another Pink Floyd great! Glad to hear that you're also reacting to other material too (and I hope some Alan Parsons Project makes it in at some point--no hurry). Peace, brother!
You still need to listen to Pink Floyd as we did, one side then the other, album at a time. Only then can you isolate a track but put it in context, trust me 👍👍
This is one of the things I love about this "Wish you were here" album...the whole album was a the tribute to the founder of Pink Floyd Syd Barrett who sadly been forced out of the band with severe mental problems. "Have a Cigar" is pretty much a recap of Dark Side of the Moon's "Money"....you know big fame and then the down fall. Now at the end of that song we just listened to was a switch to AM radio not a movie. Syd Barrett'''s life was in a "gravy train" you know going on big time stuff but then turned into a blip as gone silent. Lest not forget, the "Dark Side of the Moon" album which not many people will agree was also about Syd Barrett.
Another great reaction bro by the way its roger waters and David Gilmore that are mainly on vocal sid barrett left the band in the late 60s due to mental health problems and it David Gilmore on guitar thank for the reaction looking forward to seeing more 👍✌
where the hell did you go just drop all the face of the Earth I love the way you put on music today's my birthday and I found you on RUclips it seem like you really love old rock and roll let me know if you can still get in comments
If you want to hear something completely different from Floyd, I'd suggest "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict". It's ... Interesting, to say the least but I love it
I’m going to sign up for your patreon channel as soon as I’m done here. I’m surprised you haven’t done The Beatles. That’s where all this started. I request Come Together for starters.
@@Rockmusicpodcast I know, it's so counterproductive, how is vids showing one person introducing the greatest band ever to other people a bad thing? It's because its executives who control the rights, you might be ok with hey jude, plenty of people have reacted to that, and it is one of their greatest
Please listen to the remastered Animals album by Pink Floyd - just released in 2022 after a delay of 4 years. (Politics between former member Roger Waters & Dave Gilmour) / my favourite Floyd album from 77.
I think (and mind you this is just a friendly tip - with all the music you are absorbing it is a near impossible task to keep all this straight!) you are confusing saying Barret as the singer you mean bassist and song writer Roger Waters, as Syd Barret who was for sure the primary founder and lead singer, writer and guitar player founding the band in 1966-1967- who was a musical genius largely responsible for the entire psychedelic rock movement if not at least one of the bedrock key individuals - left Pink Floyd for good, sadly due to rapid deterioration of his mental conditions several years before this recording and all of the other ones you have reacted to. Listen to "Astronomy Domine" off their debut album "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" to hear an awesome song with Syd on vocals and lead guitar. The entire album in 1975 "Wish you Were Here" was specifically dedicated to the loss nd grief the band still felt for him. Syd Barret left them in 1969 permanently. An even deeper dive for :Have a Cigar" of note, neither Roger Waters or David Gilmour even in his prime, felt they could sing the high notes well enough for the maximum quality on this song here, so they brought in a friend -named Roy Harper from the British music scene to sing this one (the only track in the entire Pink Floyd discography they did this). This is one of Gilmour's nastiest solo's in their whole catalogue. Though references to Syd are found in all of their material, none like this album, and on this LP the 2 most direct Syd tributes are the track "Wish You were Here" and the one you hopefully get to really soon "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" maybe their true master work. There is an incredible Syd story related to the recording of "Shine On" but I'll wait until you get to it to share. This kind of stuff just makes the legend of the band even more impressive and intriguing.
@@Rockmusicpodcast he left in 1968. The sound shifted quite a bit after his departure. There are definitely tracks prior to him leaving where you can tell it's Floyd, but it's a very different vibe for the most part.
Didn't I see it, ot did you NOT do "Shine on you crazy diamonds" yet? You are always talking 'bout if any song can beat Comfortably numb... Well this is about to so! Make sure here that you listen to all parts of it!! (part 1-5) and (part 6-9) Enjoy! Kristian

Hey guys check out my pateron I got some great videos I know u will love on their Patreon.com/rockmusicpodcast
Yes but it’s out of my price range. I’m sorry.
I'm 70 years old and been a fan of Pink Floyd for 50 years. I find your comments and appreciation of this music really interesting. Keep it up
I love seeing your reactions to classics! I love your line about Pink Floyd’s music. You said “it locks you in .” Their music is so magical!
“The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh, by the way, which one’s Pink?”
Clearly throwing shade at the disingenuous music industry. One of my favourite lines in all of music.
As I posted above, I see this song a recap of "Money" from the Dark of the Moon album.
On of the most famous too....!

Saw Roy Harper do a solo gig in Bristol in 1974, totally stoned (he was) but amazing voice and guitarist. Perfect choice for this track.
Plus The Alan Parsons Project- another favourite of mine, around the time of producing Dark Side, was working on their own album Pyramid.

Im enjoying your pink floyd journey, reminds me of my self 10 years ago
Thanks man
First listen to Pink Floyd in 1977, was 14 years old, listened to Dark Side of the Moon on a transistor radio, on KSHE 95 the rock of St Louis.
You bet! Been listening to KSHE since 1970-Still do...Will never forget the first time I heard D.S.O.T.M.-1973-I was 17 and I knew I was hearing something epic!

At 5:32, oh no, my sound system just blew up!
This was the reaction I had the first time I listened to this album, at the end of this song.
This is a Brilliant Track about Music Business.

My favorite album as well but theres only the 1 song dedicated to or about syd, the theme of the album is absence not syd barret 😏
How the heck does a Texas boy where a Yankees camp?
I think that may even be illegal down here.
cant wait for you to check out Animals album!
Animals is on another level!
Another great reaction bro by the way its roger waters and David Gilmore that are mainly on vocal sid barrett left the band in the late 60s due to mental health problems and it David Gilmore on guitar thank for the reaction looking forward to seeing more 👍✌
Ok thanks for telling.I appreciate it man
No worries bro 👍✌
@@Rockmusicpodcast roger waters left around 1985
Good for you!! Check out Bruce Springsteen’s Born To Run. Another classic rock song!!
What i mean is :THERE IS A MOVIE ABOT THIS.
You've got Roy Harper on vocals there.
I gotta check him out Roy
where the hell did you go just drop all the face of the Earth I love the way you put on music today's my birthday and I found you on RUclips it seem like you really love old rock and roll let me know if you can still get in comments
hey man I'm back video in a hour
Pink floyd the wall it's a movie if you watch the movie then it all makes sense. Look it up!
If you want to hear something completely different from Floyd, I'd suggest "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict". It's ... Interesting, to say the least but I love it
Ok I will check them out when I finish Pink Floyd.I have a list of bands coming next
@@Rockmusicpodcast it's a pink Floyd track, just a very different one.
Ok. You must listen/react to ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ ….all parts. You will leave your body.
Damn Yankees - Come Again. You won’t regret it
Young Lust!"
This whole album is great. The song is about corruption in the music industry. Roy Harper on vocals.
Great job.
See ya at the next stop.

Thanks I appreciate that a lot.believe me Beatles are coming next I have a whole list of bands coming out when I finish with Pink Floyd.

Unpopular opinion time. Gilmour solos hit so hard because he almost always leads with a "peak" note to get your attention. Simple.
Oh, by the way, which one’s Pink?
or do some Creedence Clear Water Revival
Where did you go dude?
Hey man their is a new video coming out in 30 mins thanks for the support
. . . please, Syd Barrett was permanently replaced by David Gilmour in January 1968. . .
I don't think you've heard anything with Syd Barrett yet. He was early Floyd. The two main vocalists you've heard are David Gilmour and Roger Waters.
Oh ok thanks for telling me so when did syd leave Floyd?
@@Rockmusicpodcast he left in 1968. The sound shifted quite a bit after his departure. There are definitely tracks prior to him leaving where you can tell it's Floyd, but it's a very different vibe for the most part.
Now do "dirty woman"
That will be I next poll
Yea WYWH is my favorite album, but check out Run Like Hell at Earls Court, then go watch The Wall. You think you're a fan now....
Didn't I see it, ot did you NOT do "Shine on you crazy diamonds" yet?
You are always talking 'bout if any song can beat Comfortably numb...
Well this is about to so! Make sure here that you listen to all parts of it!!

ok, change band, enough of Floyd...how bout Al Stewart? (On the Border, Year of the Cat)
