Now THAT is the Floyd I fell in love with! Dreamy soundscapes that took you somewhere inside yourself to places you never knew you needed to go and left you there to try and fumble your way back out again.

it was made (filmed) in 1971, but released in 1972.

I can't believe you did this song. We used to play this song and the entire Ummagumma album at our weekend parties in the pre-Dark Side of the Moon era. This song got more plays because we would tease our friend June and sing the title line as 'Careful With That Axe Eujune'...... It was funny when you were toasted.......

The only time this song appeared on an album is the live half of Ummagumma. A different live version, but somehow even more sinister sounding. Definitely worth checking out. This song was first release as a B side of a single. The original studio version is very different, much shorter, and definitely not as creepy. Still worth checking out, too. Especially to see how much it evolved over time.
There's also another studio version that got on the Zabrisky Point soundtrack under the name "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up". It was also played at some BBC show under the name "Murduristic Woman".
Crazy, yes, brilliant, yes as well. I still prefer "One of these days", 1st track on "meddle", another creepy crazy tune, suited to October maybe. You might like it as well.
Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii movie ran midnights at our local movie theatre for several months back in 1979 or so. I saw it there MANY times, usually at the end of an excellent day with friends. Great memories!
The 30 seconds or so between Roger’s first scream, and his ‘what the hell!’ was so choice; I was crying with laughter. It was such a unique experience and treat to see someone initially changed because of this timeless music. Jamel…welcome to the machine bruh! 🤣😲😱😳🔥🪓
I know this was done 4 years ago, so hopefully you remember this video. But this is a song (a piece of work) that a Pink Floyd lover would understand, or enjoy. Pink Floyd did a lot of experimenting with their instruments and wild vocals. First time I heard this was when I got Ummagumma (album) back in 1980. I was introduced to PF with the famous Money on Dark Side Of the Moon, but got into PF when The Wall came out. (To me, anything after The Wall sucks, but then learned that The Wall was a new style of Pink Floyd and started appreciating all their music before The Wall, especially in the very early 1970s. But when you start to enjoy all of their stardom music, you’ll discover songs like Careful With That Ax Eugene and understand what they were doing with this piece of work. Back in 1980, we didn’t have much of visualization for songs until MTV, but that was only Top 40, so we had to interpret songs in our head and create “videos” in our mind. But, when I first heard this song, it took me to Wintery nights with my buddy, Gene, slowly running with an ax. But the melody fit those Winter nights, partying, drinking beer and smoking a lot of pot, during my early high school years. This is something I cannot fully explain, it is a feeling. But this piece of work was made for the avid Pink Floyd enthusiast. Later in life, now that we have RUclips, we can learn of pieces like Live at Pompeii. I wish I knew about this film when I was in high school, but we had to learn from others as we didn’t have the internet back then……and there were very few who liked Pink Floyd. But back then, we kicked back and enjoyed what was available to us. This piece has a special place in my heart that will live with me when I get old and retired. I can’t imagine my grandparents listening to this at 80 years old, but I will. LOL
That was Roger making crazy noises; must say I prefer David's singing any day. And remember, Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano (in 79 AD) so that's why they're showing lava.
Roger's unique voice was just perfect for some songs like "Mother" and "Comfortably Numb". Yeah David, and even Richard had a better voice, but it also wouldn't be the same without Roger's vocals.
I still have my ‘Ummagumma’ vinyl. This song has always sounded to me like Syd could’ve had something to do with it, but he was already gone. Songwriting credits for Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour. David can’t screech like Roger. No one can.
I adore Roger's insane noises and sinister and/or unhinged singing. Less traditionally acceptable and technically perfect perhaps, but so unique. He always makes my hair stand up.
The murals they show are from the walls of the houses in Pompeii which was buried by a pyroclastic flow from Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. This performance was from a 1973 film simply called "The Pink Floyd Movie".
HAHAHA LOL THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE IS PRICELESS JAMEL ! this song is like that children's story of the dark evil forest that people venture into and disappear. There's something unsettling about this one, in a very primal way. but it's also why i love it, the journey it takes you on is what great musical art is all about.
this is why i dig your channel... this is the music i grew up on. i was about 12 with headphones on. i'm 58 now. watching you react and "getting it" kinda makes me re-live the joy of hearing it for the first time. thank you sir, and keep on keeping great music alive baby....
Such an awesome concert/recording! They performed in an amphitheatre in the ruins of Pompeii...just the band playing (with no audience) in a space that was destroyed nearly 2,000 years earlier in a volcanic eruption. The video/DVD is a compilation of footage/performances, both during daytime and night. 'Echoes' is the highlight imo, although this is top quality too, without a doubt. Great reaction!
I agree with regard to "Echoes" - and I think "One of These Days" should also be considered a high water mark from this period. "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is also a gem
Hi bruvver - I love watching you and your reactions and what a Great Pink Floyd track from Live at Pompeii a Must see Video with that Great Echoes track 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
RE: "Was this used in a movie"? Not this version, no...BUT...they DID do a similar-sounding rewrite called "Come In Number 51, You're Time Is Up" for the film ZABRISKIE POINT. It's basically the same song.
While an expensive hilltop mansion gets blown into oblivion in slow-motion, later becoming the inspiration for Fatboy Slim's Gangster Trippin' music video. Magnificent.
Me too! Heard Piper at the Gates in about ‘68, and was hooked for life. Saw them live many times. Before Dark Side was a great era in their evolution. Headphones and Ummagumma on a hit or two was one my favorite things to do!!
Damn, I remember my brother and I tripping on shrooms watching the Live At Pompei on an old Video disk back in the early 80s. Great walk down memory lane! 😎
Even though this is a deeper cut than most probably go for, I'm so glad you reacted to it. It was probably one of my favorite early Pink Floyd songs (and I love songs from all their eras). Love that you went here, Jamel!
I just watched another RUclipsr's reaction video to this track and I believe hers to be the most astute reaction. Because it was part of the concert film Live At Pompeii she said "it's like Pink Floyd are challenging the Gods". Love that description! Also, Waters was known for his distinct scream. You can hear it in several songs. I dare you to find them all. 😁
Pink Floyd at Pompeii was my favorite music my friends and I would listen to when I was 16 and wanted to get cosmic. Oh by the way love the Jerry Bears, see you in Mexico in January
David Gilmour returned to Pompeii in 2016 for a concert. I think "What Do You Want From Me" is excellent, especially the back up vocals. You should react to that one!
The Ummagumma album has many unique sounding tracks. Try "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" if you really want to hear Pink Floyd at their most experimental.
I was on another channel, checking on Righteous Brothers reactions, but the moment I saw you were listening to Pink Floyd's "Careful With That Axe Eugene", I baled & came right over. And you delivered. I am SO familiar with Ummagumma & I figured you were NOT. I apologize, but it was funny. We all went through this, so I'm laughing at recognizing myself. BTW, I was at a Pink Floyd concert in Baltimore many years ago. They played the Lyric Theater, one of the 2 best concert halls acoustically in the world (the other is in Germany, & the Lyric was an exact architectural copy, so equal in quality). This was at the start of the Dark Side of the Moon tour, before the album had even been released, so this was a very special treat. This was also the very dawn of quadriphonic sound, which the band set up in the concert hall, so the 1st Baltimore had heard it, especially in concert. The concert began with a faint heartbeat. The stage was still bereft of musicians, though their instruments were set out waiting. The house lights very slowly dimmed. A post behind the drumkit at center stage was increasingly obvious, topped by a long horizontal bar balanced left & right from the post, the bar hung with enormous stage lights aimed at the stage floor. The heartbeat pounded on, unaccompanied, & the audience started clapping along in time. But after a long stretch of no change, the clapping fell away. Then slowly, one-by-one, the musicians individually sauntered onto stage. First one. Then another. As they each individually approached their instruments, they one-by-one began playing, softly & slow-paced but in time to the heartbeat. Other sounds comingle with the heartbeat, not from the musicians onstage. The last musician onstage was the drummer, who picked up his sticks and the music changed tempo, changed volume, went from background incidental to full presence, & the pole of lights suddenly raised & changed directions! It was like a monster coming to life. So exciting! Later they did a particularly terrifying rendition of "Careful With That Axe Eugene" with a screech that went on forever! Pink Floyd was the master of atmospherics, of taking you into other dimensions/worlds/consciousness. They are their own genre. They were personal, intimate, yet alien & remote all simultaneously. They are best listened to alone in a dark room.
Jamel, that look on your face when Roger screams = priceless 😉. Creepy it is, but great build-up, great atmospheric psychedelic song. I'd recommend the live version of "A Saucerful of Secrets" from Pompeii or Ummagumma, stunning.
How did I miss this reaction? One of my favorite versions if one of my favorite Floyd Tunes! Going to see an excellent Pink Floyd tribute band mid-November.
From the same time period Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun is another trippy song from that classical experimental stage of Floyd music well worth a view!! I second your description of this track!
Oh boy, Careful with that axe, Eugene. Halcyon days. Hahaha, my brother introduced me to this song when I was 7 or 8. Scared the sh.., well, let's just say I didn't sleep very well that night, so thanks bro! LOL! But it did cement Pink Floyd into my brain as a band to keep track of. Made me a fan for life! Nice one, Jamal!
Live At Pompeii was a live film released before The Dark Side Of The Moon in 1972 showcasing the band performing 6 songs, though only 3 of which were actually at Pompeii. This one, along with 2 others were recorded in a dark studio in France. The other three were recorded and filmed in the Pompeii Amphitheater with an audience of no one but the production crew. The visuals, depending on which version you see, combined footage of Pompeii, volcanos, 3D animations, and photos of the remains of those lost in the fatal 79 AD eruption.
Brilliant filmed concert, just Pink Floyd in an ancient stadium at Pompeii... the only audience were a few school boys who snuck into the stadium and watched them record. It was great to watch on a big screen. They also did the soundtrack for an avant-garde film called Zabriski Point - the final explosion scene is amazing.
Images are from mosaics in Pompei and surroundings, as Campi Flegrei and Vesuvio (one of the four main volcanoes here in Italy) . Pompei was an ancient Roman town buried with the bordering Ercolano by Vesuvio’s ash and burning stones in 79 AD, leaving everything intact (bodies too)
I have to say you never really hear this song being played but I have to admit that this is my favorite Floyd song and I have several versions on my MP3 player. Never get tired of hearing it.
Your face had me cracking up the whole video 🤣. I remember the first time I watched Live at Pompeii. My friend said, "you have no idea of what you are about to see." He was right.
Pink Floyd started out is a experimental instrumental band, they used everything in the beginning from kitchen utensils to Richard Wright's dog to whatever. Listen to Set Your Controls to the Heart of the Sun from the same concert. It was a movie concert.
I saw them do this in 1971 in a 2500 seat theater. The lighting was low but when Roger let out that scream they flashed all these white lights and turned the volume way up. People were scared literally out of their seats, thought I was having a heart attack!
I remember going to see this in a theater in Phoenix Az. when I was 15 yrs old with 4 other friends .we were the only ones in the theater .but It was so cool on the big screen .
I cant even believe u are listening to this one..me my friend eugene David mooney, rests in peace and still plays with me, I believe, we would get so wasted at my house, eyes almost crossed listening to this and reminsescing a the many gigs we went 2..saw dark side of the moon 73, with mooney, moon his favored nick name, he walked me woofer, I miss him but have so many great grrrreat memories, ty 4 reviewing this, and if you had black lights liquid lava lamps, really great weed, hash and a bottle of anything, omg!!! And u saw god 2!!! Fear god I'd say..haha ur reaction.. music ties us to the sliritual.real of loved ones departed , esp ones we shared with them, you are a brave young man, wish we had radio dj and commercials with u cast in em..ty again, always love ur musical choices, wish whites would jump.on this train and find all the truly beautiful r& b, soul , funk gospel, where all rock bands devoured, go to the source is always purest..n if they ever get real.reparation going , start with the rock music industry.!!!
I saw them live in 1972 (Boston), and they played this. I may have been the only chemically unaltered person in the audience. At the scream, half the audience went unhinged and started scrambling over seats (and other people) to get out. The lighting turned red, and I'm sure they thought the building was set on fire. After that, they played the entirety of a piece they called "Eclipse". It came out on record well over a year later, with the title changed to "Dark Side Of The Moon". Suffice it to say, one of the highlights of my concert-going days.
Now I Gotta Say Jamal!! With Your Headphones On!! Gotta Here Pink Floyds Debut Album "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn "!!! To Totally understand where Pink Floyd coming from with the "Mad Genius " Syd Barrett!!
Oh man, I was lucky enough to see the last-ever performance of this song when I was in high-school, back in '77. They hadn't played it for _years,_ and for some reason, they decided to bring it back out of nowhere for one last time there in Oakland. It was crazy! When that scream hit (which I was _not_ ready for), I felt like I was being pushed back into my seat!
Hah, Jamel's expression/ headphone volume check at 1:08= that meme with Frye from FUTURAMA: "Not sure if iPod stopped working, or if the beginning of a Pink Floyd song..."
The most frightening version of this song is the live recording that appeared on the album "Ummagumma" (1969). The screams heard in that version are absolutely blood-curdling. The screams in this Live at Pompeii version are tame by comparison.
There are two versions of a documentary called Pink Floyd Live at Pompei. Both versions basically show them hacking around a house near pompei, you'll see David Gilmour playing around with sound effects for a few different albums, and the rest of the band jamming here and there etc... and playing "live" at the ampitheatre in Pompei, but with no audience. This "video" (pretty sure it would have been shot on film) is part of the documentary.
Roger always did those screams and howls that scared you Jamal 👀😆! He did it also on the Wall, on the song “Run like Hell”, probably for the last time.
the studio version of this is not from any album (just a b-side to a single), but a live version was included on the 1969 album Ummagumma, which is a double album with one concert record and one studio record. Even though it was just a b-side, it became a fan favourite in concerts and they included it on and off on their set lists through the years, up to as late as 1977
So, this is from MEDDLE, which came out before Darkside of the Moon. This from a concert movie filmed in the middle of an ancient arena in Pompeii, how they got permission is unbelievable, no crowd. This was more experimental music, then in part of the movie it shows the band in the studio recording Darkside, dope! Frank Zappa once played a festival with Pink Floyd on the line up around this time or earlier. There's footage of Zappa playing on stage with Floyd, but in a later interview he has no recollection of the event. He must have had a great time.
When I lived in a bigger city and had trick or treaters for Halloween, I used to decorate the porch nice and creepy and play the Ummagumma version of this on a speaker on repeat lol.
Loved it Jamel : D From 7:30 - 8:05 is a face that says, What did you people just do to me?! The entire Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother albums are some of the best Floyd. They take more risks and have less commercial polish.
I remember listening to Ummagumma for the first time. Middle of the night, complete darkness, I’m just laying in bed and vibing. And then this track comes in, didn’t know what to expect and almost got a heart attack lol. Great song
I agree with others that say I Can't Believe You Actually Reacted to this Song!! But because I've been a Long time Subscriber to Your Channel, Don't much surprise me although didn't really expect you to go here!!🤣😂🤣 Gotta say that this Song has The Late Great Syd Barrett written All over it!! This was done After Syd's departure and despite the fact that David Gilmore replaced Syd, Nobody knew how to replace his vocals yet they still had the Syd Barrett Vibes!! As you know, They really established their own sound without Syd yet still stayed true to the Direction!! Thanks Again So Much Jamal for This one!!
This is from the movie Live At Pompeii where they played songs on location at Pompeii and had interviews with the band in the studio while they were working on Dark Side of the Moon. The whole movie is great. I believe the first album appearance of this song was on Relics. One of their earlier songs (from 1968) which showcases why their music was called Acid-Rock. Imagine watching and listening to this while on certain substances. lol. We all know how great Roger Waters and David Gilmour are, but how about Rick Wright's keyboard playing and Nick Mason's drum skills!?
Just the best. This was a live staple from 69-73. I've heard 'em all and my favorite is from San Diego 1971-10-17, look for it. Gilmour's guitar work is exceptional. Also, the versions with Rog's pictish rants are incredible, like 1972-11-15 for example, also look for it. You're welcome.
This song is from the movie "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" I think it was made in 1972 and released in1973 Not really sure about the accuracy of the years but close enough. Its on a DVD. Another good one from that movie is "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" Also an eerie tune but more spiritual than creepy I think.
This track came from their 4th album - Ummagumma. It was also used in the film Zabriskie Point but you arent old enough to remember that as it came out in 1970. Great track though... Stay safe and Keep on Rocking.

Pink Floyd did a lot of experimenting with their instruments and wild vocals. First time I heard this was when I got Ummagumma (album) back in 1980. I was introduced to PF with the famous Money on Dark Side Of the Moon, but got into PF when The Wall came out. (To me, anything after The Wall sucks, but then learned that The Wall was a new style of Pink Floyd and started appreciating all their music before The Wall, especially in the very early 1970s. But when you start to enjoy all of their stardom music, you’ll discover songs like Careful With That Ax Eugene and understand what they were doing with this piece of work. Back in 1980, we didn’t have much of visualization for songs until MTV, but that was only Top 40, so we had to interpret songs in our head and create “videos” in our mind. But, when I first heard this song, it took me to Wintery nights with my buddy, Gene, slowly running with an ax. But the melody fit those Winter nights, partying, drinking beer and smoking a lot of pot, during my early high school years. This is something I cannot fully explain, it is a feeling. But this piece of work was made for the avid Pink Floyd enthusiast. Later in life, now that we have RUclips, we can learn of pieces like Live at Pompeii. I wish I knew about this film when I was in high school, but we had to learn from others as we didn’t have the internet back then……and there were very few who liked Pink Floyd. But back then, we kicked back and enjoyed what was available to us. This piece has a special place in my heart that will live with me when I get old and retired. I can’t imagine my grandparents listening to this at 80 years old, but I will. LOL
Fun fact: As soon as "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2" begins, you can hear a little snippet of Roger's screaming in "Careful With That Axe Eugene".
That was Roger making crazy noises; must say I prefer David's singing any day. And remember, Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano (in 79 AD) so that's why they're showing lava.
Yeah, and just as Eugene is NOT careful..
Roger's unique voice was just perfect for some songs like "Mother" and "Comfortably Numb". Yeah David, and even Richard had a better voice, but it also wouldn't be the same without Roger's vocals.
Imo, David is a better “singer”, but Waters pronunciation and emotion is amazing!!
I still have my ‘Ummagumma’ vinyl. This song has always sounded to me like Syd could’ve had something to do with it, but he was already gone. Songwriting credits for Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour. David can’t screech like Roger. No one can.
I adore Roger's insane noises and sinister and/or unhinged singing. Less traditionally acceptable and technically perfect perhaps, but so unique. He always makes my hair stand up.
The murals they show are from the walls of the houses in Pompeii which was buried by a pyroclastic flow from Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. This performance was from a 1973 film simply called "The Pink Floyd Movie".
HAHAHA LOL THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE IS PRICELESS JAMEL !
this song is like that children's story of the dark evil forest that people venture into and disappear.
There's something unsettling about this one, in a very primal way.
but it's also why i love it, the journey it takes you on is what great musical art is all about.
this is why i dig your channel... this is the music i grew up on. i was about 12 with headphones on. i'm 58 now. watching you react and "getting it" kinda makes me re-live the joy of hearing it for the first time. thank you sir, and keep on keeping great music alive baby....
Such an awesome concert/recording! They performed in an amphitheatre in the ruins of Pompeii...just the band playing (with no audience) in a space that was destroyed nearly 2,000 years earlier in a volcanic eruption. The video/DVD is a compilation of footage/performances, both during daytime and night. 'Echoes' is the highlight imo, although this is top quality too, without a doubt. Great reaction!
I agree with regard to "Echoes" - and I think "One of These Days" should also be considered a high water mark from this period. "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is also a gem
You need……things……..while jamming this concert. We wore out the VHS back in the 80’s.
I like how delicately you put that lol, and I agree 👍
I remember seeing the movie Live at Pompeii when I was 19 - an eye-opening experience!
Smoking Afghani hash in London 1986. Was 20. An introduction to PF!!!
I'll never forget where I was when i saw it for the first time. I was 20. Great times
Hi bruvver - I love watching you and your reactions and what a Great Pink Floyd track from Live at Pompeii a Must see Video with that Great Echoes track 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
RE: "Was this used in a movie"?
Not this version, no...BUT...they DID do a similar-sounding rewrite called "Come In Number 51, You're Time Is Up" for the film ZABRISKIE POINT. It's basically the same song.
While an expensive hilltop mansion gets blown into oblivion in slow-motion, later becoming the inspiration for Fatboy Slim's Gangster Trippin' music video. Magnificent.
Crumbling Land from that soundtrack is good as well. Such a '68 vibe
@@danielglenn915 I love that song. A hidden gem.
late 60's , early 70's, this is what was known as "TRIPPIN' MUSIC" I did lots of acid listening to this
Me too! Heard Piper at the Gates in about ‘68, and was hooked for life. Saw them live many times. Before Dark Side was a great era in their evolution. Headphones and Ummagumma on a hit or two was one my favorite things to do!!
Best band in the stratosphere! I can't love this enough.
Damn, I remember my brother and I tripping on shrooms watching the Live At Pompei on an old Video disk back in the early 80s.
Great walk down memory lane! 😎
I love that you did this one, Jamel. The facial expressions were priceless.
Even though this is a deeper cut than most probably go for, I'm so glad you reacted to it. It was probably one of my favorite early Pink Floyd songs (and I love songs from all their eras). Love that you went here, Jamel!
I just watched another RUclipsr's reaction video to this track and I believe hers to be the most astute reaction.
Because it was part of the concert film Live At Pompeii she said "it's like Pink Floyd are challenging the Gods".
Love that description!
Also, Waters was known for his distinct scream. You can hear it in several songs. I dare you to find them all. 😁
Pink Floyd at Pompeii was my favorite music my friends and I would listen to when I was 16 and wanted to get cosmic.
Oh by the way love the Jerry Bears, see you in Mexico in January
David Gilmour returned to Pompeii in 2016 for a concert. I think "What Do You Want From Me" is excellent, especially the back up vocals. You should react to that one!
The Ummagumma album has many unique sounding tracks. Try "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" if you really want to hear Pink Floyd at their most experimental.
If Jamel reacts to Several Species he will definitely be saying "what the hell."
I use to leave parts of that song on people's answering machines.
We can only hope he will react to this song. He will get up and leave. LOL
As a Floyd fan, a Jamel fan and a Scot, I say "Bring it on!"
Let's not.
Loved your reaction to this! This song is that background to some of my nightmares.
I was on another channel, checking on Righteous Brothers reactions, but the moment I saw you were listening to Pink Floyd's "Careful With That Axe Eugene", I baled & came right over. And you delivered.
I am SO familiar with Ummagumma & I figured you were NOT. I apologize, but it was funny. We all went through this, so I'm laughing at recognizing myself.
BTW, I was at a Pink Floyd concert in Baltimore many years ago. They played the Lyric Theater, one of the 2 best concert halls acoustically in the world (the other is in Germany, & the Lyric was an exact architectural copy, so equal in quality). This was at the start of the Dark Side of the Moon tour, before the album had even been released, so this was a very special treat. This was also the very dawn of quadriphonic sound, which the band set up in the concert hall, so the 1st Baltimore had heard it, especially in concert.
The concert began with a faint heartbeat. The stage was still bereft of musicians, though their instruments were set out waiting. The house lights very slowly dimmed. A post behind the drumkit at center stage was increasingly obvious, topped by a long horizontal bar balanced left & right from the post, the bar hung with enormous stage lights aimed at the stage floor.
The heartbeat pounded on, unaccompanied, & the audience started clapping along in time. But after a long stretch of no change, the clapping fell away. Then slowly, one-by-one, the musicians individually sauntered onto stage.
First one.
Then another.
As they each individually approached their instruments, they one-by-one began playing, softly & slow-paced but in time to the heartbeat. Other sounds comingle with the heartbeat, not from the musicians onstage. The last musician onstage was the drummer, who picked up his sticks and the music changed tempo, changed volume, went from background incidental to full presence, & the pole of lights suddenly raised & changed directions!
It was like a monster coming to life. So exciting! Later they did a particularly terrifying rendition of "Careful With That Axe Eugene" with a screech that went on forever!
Pink Floyd was the master of atmospherics, of taking you into other dimensions/worlds/consciousness. They are their own genre. They were personal, intimate, yet alien & remote all simultaneously. They are best listened to alone in a dark room.
Jamel, that look on your face when Roger screams = priceless 😉. Creepy it is, but great build-up, great atmospheric psychedelic song. I'd recommend the live version of "A Saucerful of Secrets" from Pompeii or Ummagumma, stunning.
How did I miss this reaction? One of my favorite versions if one of my favorite Floyd Tunes! Going to see an excellent Pink Floyd tribute band mid-November.
From the same time period Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun is another trippy song from that classical experimental stage of Floyd music well worth a view!! I second your description of this track!
Oh boy, Careful with that axe, Eugene. Halcyon days. Hahaha, my brother introduced me to this song when I was 7 or 8. Scared the sh.., well, let's just say I didn't sleep very well that night, so thanks bro! LOL! But it did cement Pink Floyd into my brain as a band to keep track of. Made me a fan for life! Nice one, Jamal!
Live At Pompeii was a live film released before The Dark Side Of The Moon in 1972 showcasing the band performing 6 songs, though only 3 of which were actually at Pompeii. This one, along with 2 others were recorded in a dark studio in France. The other three were recorded and filmed in the Pompeii Amphitheater with an audience of no one but the production crew.
The visuals, depending on which version you see, combined footage of Pompeii, volcanos, 3D animations, and photos of the remains of those lost in the fatal 79 AD eruption.
For me the definitive version is the live one recorded at the Brighton Dome - just beyond anything I've ever heard.
The best version by far
Make you realize most of those screamo bands are shadows of snakes compared to dragons.
Everyone talks about the scream ...which is fantastic! But, seriously how amazing is it that Gilmour's vocals move so well!!
Brilliant filmed concert, just Pink Floyd in an ancient stadium at Pompeii... the only audience were a few school boys who snuck into the stadium and watched them record. It was great to watch on a big screen.
They also did the soundtrack for an avant-garde film called Zabriski Point - the final explosion scene is amazing.
This is heavy duty stuff. Live at Pompeii, Echoes, Echoes...
One of my fave pink floyd songs!!.
I say this phrase ALL.THE.TIME. Most people just look at me confuzzled, but those that get it, get a kick out of it. Thanx for this! ~Be Blessed
Images are from mosaics in Pompei and surroundings, as Campi Flegrei and Vesuvio (one of the four main volcanoes here in Italy) . Pompei was an ancient Roman town buried with the bordering Ercolano by Vesuvio’s ash and burning stones in 79 AD, leaving everything intact (bodies too)
I have to say you never really hear this song being played but I have to admit that this is my favorite Floyd song and I have several versions on my MP3 player. Never get tired of hearing it.
Your face had me cracking up the whole video 🤣. I remember the first time I watched Live at Pompeii. My friend said, "you have no idea of what you are about to see." He was right.
OMG I laughed so hard at your face when Roger started screaming...priceless.
Also, it was used in Zabriskie Point, but under a different title if I'm not mistaken
Pink Floyd started out is a experimental instrumental band, they used everything in the beginning from kitchen utensils to Richard Wright's dog to whatever. Listen to Set Your Controls to the Heart of the Sun from the same concert. It was a movie concert.
I don't do drugs but I can imagine that if I did this song would be quite a trip ...
I do, do drugs and I can confirm it's awesome
A treat, I guarantee it.
@@garrettvesci8162 o bravo citrullo
Oh, it was. Haha!
The whole Pompeii movie is must watch, Rock history!
I saw them do this in 1971 in a 2500 seat theater. The lighting was low but when Roger let out that scream they flashed all these white lights and turned the volume way up. People were scared literally out of their seats, thought I was having a heart attack!
When I was a small child my Mom would light a bunch of candles,kill the lights and Crank this up...awesome
Careful….. careful……. Love the old Floyd!!!!
please seeing at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD thanks
Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict.
Luv this reaction. He didn't know what was coming.
I've been after Jamel to react to Several Species for a long time now. I've given up.
I remember going to see this in a theater in Phoenix Az. when I was 15 yrs old with 4 other friends .we were the only ones in the theater .but It was so cool on the big screen .
Props, man. The world is a better place because you do these videos. Keep your Floyd journey going, right up thru Endless River.
I cant even believe u are listening to this one..me my friend eugene David mooney, rests in peace and still plays with me, I believe, we would get so wasted at my house, eyes almost crossed listening to this and reminsescing a the many gigs we went 2..saw dark side of the moon 73, with mooney, moon his favored nick name, he walked me woofer, I miss him but have so many great grrrreat memories, ty 4 reviewing this, and if you had black lights liquid lava lamps, really great weed, hash and a bottle of anything, omg!!! And u saw god 2!!! Fear god I'd say..haha ur reaction.. music ties us to the sliritual.real of loved ones departed , esp ones we shared with them, you are a brave young man, wish we had radio dj and commercials with u cast in em..ty again, always love ur musical choices, wish whites would jump.on this train and find all the truly beautiful r& b, soul , funk gospel, where all rock bands devoured, go to the source is always purest..n if they ever get real.reparation going , start with the rock music industry.!!!
Music ties us to heavenly realm.all my angels underlining this, esp my waring one
I saw them live in 1972 (Boston), and they played this. I may have been the only chemically unaltered person in the audience. At the scream, half the audience went unhinged and started scrambling over seats (and other people) to get out. The lighting turned red, and I'm sure they thought the building was set on fire. After that, they played the entirety of a piece they called "Eclipse". It came out on record well over a year later, with the title changed to "Dark Side Of The Moon". Suffice it to say, one of the highlights of my concert-going days.
Now I Gotta Say Jamal!! With Your Headphones On!! Gotta Here Pink Floyds Debut Album "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn "!!! To Totally understand where Pink Floyd coming from with the "Mad Genius " Syd Barrett!!
In Its Entirety!!
I hope everybody notices that as great as Pink Floyd is they NEVER block jamel's videos :)
Those faces are from the frescoes recovered from ruins in Pompeii. This entire film is among my favorite films of all time.
Omg, I'm waiting for the... That reaction! I've known this song since I was a kid.
Oh man, I was lucky enough to see the last-ever performance of this song when I was in high-school, back in '77. They hadn't played it for _years,_ and for some reason, they decided to bring it back out of nowhere for one last time there in Oakland. It was crazy! When that scream hit (which I was _not_ ready for), I felt like I was being pushed back into my seat!
Hah, Jamel's expression/ headphone volume check at 1:08= that meme with Frye from FUTURAMA: "Not sure if iPod stopped working, or if the beginning of a Pink Floyd song..."
The most frightening version of this song is the live recording that appeared on the album "Ummagumma" (1969). The screams heard in that version are absolutely blood-curdling. The screams in this Live at Pompeii version are tame by comparison.
Forget Halloween albums. Put this on your speakers outside when kids are coming to trick-or-treat.
There's ANOTHER VERSION of this song on the Zabriskie Point soundtrack called Come In Number 51, Your Time is up.
The coolest one-chord song in history.
Bless you jamal, your reaction is gold
There are two versions of a documentary called Pink Floyd Live at Pompei. Both versions basically show them hacking around a house near pompei, you'll see David Gilmour playing around with sound effects for a few different albums, and the rest of the band jamming here and there etc... and playing "live" at the ampitheatre in Pompei, but with no audience. This "video" (pretty sure it would have been shot on film) is part of the documentary.
Roger always did those screams and howls that scared you Jamal 👀😆! He did it also on the Wall, on the song “Run like Hell”, probably for the last time.
the studio version of this is not from any album (just a b-side to a single), but a live version was included on the 1969 album Ummagumma, which is a double album with one concert record and one studio record. Even though it was just a b-side, it became a fan favourite in concerts and they included it on and off on their set lists through the years, up to as late as 1977
It is hard to put (words) on it all.....Masters of their craft and we are along for a ride
My mom told me about how she was at acid parties back when Ummagumma came out and they just cranked this one. RIP mom
Yessir! What the hell? Ya don't get modern music if ya don't " get this" first. Thanks J!
Yes!!! Been waiting for this!! 🪓 😮
So, this is from MEDDLE, which came out before Darkside of the Moon. This from a concert movie filmed in the middle of an ancient arena in Pompeii, how they got permission is unbelievable, no crowd. This was more experimental music, then in part of the movie it shows the band in the studio recording Darkside, dope! Frank Zappa once played a festival with Pink Floyd on the line up around this time or earlier. There's footage of Zappa playing on stage with Floyd, but in a later interview he has no recollection of the event. He must have had a great time.
This is one of my favorite bloody songs of all-time! I never did see the video till now though!
When I lived in a bigger city and had trick or treaters for Halloween, I used to decorate the porch nice and creepy and play the Ummagumma version of this on a speaker on repeat lol.
Mindblownin one of my favorite pink floyd track
Loved it Jamel : D From 7:30 - 8:05 is a face that says, What did you people just do to me?! The entire Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother albums are some of the best Floyd. They take more risks and have less commercial polish.
I remember listening to Ummagumma for the first time. Middle of the night, complete darkness, I’m just laying in bed and vibing. And then this track comes in, didn’t know what to expect and almost got a heart attack lol. Great song
Yes, it is from the movie Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii. A must watch classic.
I so enjoyed this reaction. Thank you!!
I agree with others that say I Can't Believe You Actually Reacted to this Song!! But because I've been a Long time Subscriber to Your Channel, Don't much surprise me although didn't really expect you to go here!!🤣😂🤣 Gotta say that this Song has The Late Great Syd Barrett written All over it!! This was done After Syd's departure and despite the fact that David Gilmore replaced Syd, Nobody knew how to replace his vocals yet they still had the Syd Barrett Vibes!! As you know, They really established their own sound without Syd yet still stayed true to the Direction!! Thanks Again So Much Jamal for This one!!
I love that you take on songs like this Jamel!
This is from the movie Live At Pompeii where they played songs on location at Pompeii and had interviews with the band in the studio while they were working on Dark Side of the Moon. The whole movie is great. I believe the first album appearance of this song was on Relics. One of their earlier songs (from 1968) which showcases why their music was called Acid-Rock. Imagine watching and listening to this while on certain substances. lol. We all know how great Roger Waters and David Gilmour are, but how about Rick Wright's keyboard playing and Nick Mason's drum skills!?
Just the best. This was a live staple from 69-73. I've heard 'em all and my favorite is from San Diego 1971-10-17, look for it. Gilmour's guitar work is exceptional. Also, the versions with Rog's pictish rants are incredible, like 1972-11-15 for example, also look for it. You're welcome.
FLOYD...SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GATHERED IN A CAVE GROOVIN AT PICTS...LOVE THOSE ABSCURE PF TITLES AND MUSIC...💕✌🙏
No, don't make him do it! LOL
he will be confused. its just 5 minutes of random animal noises and a drunk talkin at the end lol.
This song is from the movie "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" I think it was made in 1972 and released in1973 Not really sure about the accuracy of the years but close enough. Its on a DVD. Another good one from that movie is "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" Also an eerie tune but more spiritual than creepy I think.
This track came from their 4th album - Ummagumma. It was also used in the film Zabriskie Point but you arent old enough to remember that as it came out in 1970. Great track though... Stay safe and Keep on Rocking.
👏 fantastic!!!!
