Truly a transcendental experience like nothing else, as you all know....Finally this masterpiece is a part of the musical library in my head...Thank you so much for watching...Floyd on!!! 🥰
You did side 1 justice on it's 50th. Masterpiece.
Thanks so much Renee! I hope the algorithm agrees haha...
Your channel is doing GREAT!!!!! I never seen a channel grow this quick. Kudos to you my friend!!!!!
Thanks so much sweet Renee!!!
@@retroreactions.... That's so nice, thank you.
When you think about these young 20 (something) year old guys creating this masterpiece, it is mind-blowing . You don't hear this type of creation anymore
Yes, completely amazing...same with 70s Genesis and many others....nothing will ever match this album!
Years ahead of their time
The first time I heard this album was 50 years ago,i was just 17 teen in a bar in Italy and this came on over the loud speakers .I had never heard any thing like it and to this day I have still never heard any thing like it.A masterpiece nothing less.
You must have dropped your drink!! Completely agree of course and thanks so much for watching Paul!
@@retroreactions.... My pleasure .
We were in a music store, asking what they were playing, stayed 2 hrs listening, bought the album. Several months later at the concert at Olympia Stadium in Detroit. As the sounds moved around the stadium we ducked as it moved over us. At 73, I can relive it everytime I hear it. Thanks Brandon, loved sharing it with you today. The stadium is long gone, but the album lives on.
EPIC memories!! Thank you so much Madeline for sharing the experience with me! Really appreciate it...
Very cool memory. Thanks for sharing it with us! ✌️
Great story Madeleine. Fabulous memories for you.
Great memory... I'm the "next" gen, born in 76, heard The Wall on the radio at 3-4... At 12 I found my father's vinyl: Dark Side of The Moon. That dark album was mystic just seeing it.
Had the chance (and unexpected to me) to see the Division Bell Tour, in a large open space downtown Bordeaux France (Place des Quinconces). It's the greatest concert I've seen.
Wished I could live the "at that time" moment you have lived. But I bet that for years, and years, new generations will have some kind of "mind blowing moment" when they'll discover the best album in Space Time. Some important events happen in the Cosmos: Big Bang, Life, Dark Side Of The Moon (and the 3 next albums with the momentum).
So cool you started so young with PF and saw them live! I was 19 when DB Tour came 20 minutes away from where I live! What a shame I didn't know or care at that time....
Five star reaction to a Masterpiece. Time has had the most influence on my life. The lyrics are such a foreboding wake up call. And indeed I woke up at age 16! David's guitar solo is my favorite of all his studio work.
Having said all that - Side 2 is just as phenomenal!
Aw, thank you so much for the compliment Jim...yes, all brilliant..hope you can catch and enjoy Side 2 tomorrow! :)
Imagine for those of us who heard this first in 1973 and never anything even close to it before this!!
Rodger Waters in an interview stated that had his first wife listen to this album right after they finished cutting it and when the album was done playing he asked her what she thought!! "All she could do was CRY"........... Rodger in that magnificent British understatement said he thought that might be a good sign....
Thanks for the info...I think this album worked out OK for them, I know at least a few people love it haha...
“OK”…LMAO
Its been on the charts for 50 years, literally. Longest time an album has been on the charts in history.
Unbelievable, yet not surprising!
@@retroreactions.... I teach middle school. Was on my "Today In History" part of my board today. Made them analyze it months ago. Had them do Frank Zappa "I'm the Slime" (another 50 yr old song this year) and compared it to Social Media today. Had them do The Charge of the Light Brigade" yesterday.
@@retroreactions.... And in the top 200 selling albums for over 18 years!
@@robertherring9277 Best teacher ever!! I'm sure you are responsible for at least a few new young Floyd fans!
I still remember the first time I sat and listened to this in its entirety, in a dim room with a friend, and the album/liner notes/lyrics in my lap. I was only 16, completely drug free, and am still as amazed now as I was then. And I remember it to this day. I hope the experience is as memorable for you too.
I assume you got goose bumps...Yes, not 100% ideal with bright lights in my eyes, but I will never forget this 1st time experience and the intense feelings it gave me!
@@retroreactions.... I was just awestruck, amazed, and more than anything 'transported on a journey' unlike very few musical experiences before.
I would recommend listening to the Jeff Wayne musical adaptation of War of the Worlds for a similar though different experience
All analog, no digital. This album is not only a once in a generation high point of composition and performance, but an engineering marvel and way ahead of its time. Imagine creating this in your early twenties! Unreal. 50 years on it still sounds ahead of its time. A masterpiece.
What I wouldn't give to go back and sit in on the recording sessions!!!
@@retroreactions.... It's been a long time since I saw it but if my memory serves me correctly the movie of Live at Pompeii includes footage from the DSOTM recording sessions.
Oh wow, I hope so!! Will have to watch the whole thing one day....thanks Ian
Happy 50th birthday DSOTM...... perfect way to listen, completely 👌 🙌 ❤️
Still sounding as amazing at 50 as its day of birth!! Thanks so much for watching Billy!
This album played in its entirety at the dmv today
How cool is that.. finally the DMV is a good experience lol...
@@retroreactions.... 😂😂😂 Right?
Excellent reaction to side one. You may already know this, but every song from Dark Side of the Moon is also performed live at the Pulse Concert.
Thanks so much KeyRat! Yes I do, and I really think I should listen to all 10 of those together too!!
50 years I’ve been listening to this and Clare still chokes me up everytime…
I couldn't believe what she was able to do here... no wonder the song is so iconic!
I could see myself 50 years ago listening to this gem! Thank you! ❤❤ Great reaction as usual.
Certainly blew your mind I'm sure...nothing like it before I'm sure....thanks so much for watching and for your comment...have a great day/night :)
@@retroreactions.... If you want a better experience try Pulse concert. They play the entire album and many more amazing songs.
Great suggestion..I have reacted to 3 from Pulse on this channel in case you didn't see...thanks
best band if all times 😎👍
YESSSSS, and I have probably only heard 10% of their art! Thanks Gerry
@@retroreactions.... I've been a Pink Floyd fan since 1980. I'm 52 now and I still listen to it at least once a week . good day to you 😎👍
That's dedication that you started as a fan around 10 years old! I should have done the same!
@@retroreactions.... yes 😎👍
@@retroreactions.... when i was young , my idols was Elvis Presley ans Bruce Lee 👍
and here we go.... I think that this is the way to do it, going album by album side by side.... like we did at time, only up to flip the album the turn table, if you had not taped it on your reel to reel recorder of course. The Great Gig in the Sky.... the Pulse version is as well great
😊 Was a great experience this way! Excited for all these songs in Pulse! Thanks for being first here today my friend....✌️
@@retroreactions.... hehe, working on the laptop with excel financial sheets is today's task..a notification from Brandon helps to make it funnier. When you plan to do Yes next time, an idea is to Do Wonderous Stories and Awaken in a row....
Great to mix business with pleasure haha! OK, I checked my list and those 2 songs are together with 3 votes :)
I actually like Great Gig from Pulse better than this one, which is also amazing.
Can't wait to hear..different female singer I see...
Well after a day like today, this is just what the doc ordered! Pink Floyd! Always makes a bad day good!
Hi! Hope I could help a little... thanks so much for watching!! 😊
See my comment above...
I was 13 when this hit and it hit HARD ! sit back , get comfy and hold on ' cause you're going for a ride . enjoy . one more thing - nothing beats the first listen but it gets better with each listen
What a ride the first listen was! gets better? sweeeet! I can't wait for the day when I know all the lyrics and can sing along with the album too...thanks so much for watching and commenting David..
I'm glad you're doing it this way - it's important to get that first impression of it as a whole, just like we did back in the day! Somewhere, not too long ago, I was watching a movie or something and I heard that original sound bite that Floyd used in tat song, something like "I certainly was in the right...", I'm sure a quick google search would tell me what it was from, but I just thought it was interesting that they were sampling stuff even back then. Also, Alan Parsons was the producer on this album!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Dave! Yes, was definitely better hearing it all in 1 shot...Alan did AMAZING work here...
The sound bytes were recorded by the band in and around the studio, Roger and the guys had a series of question cards that they were asking random people around the studio and recording the replies to use on the album. One of the question cards was, I'm sure 'Do you think you were in the right?'
@@timitoast303 Nice thanks Phillip!
This is how to do it! A video for each side!
Hi there! Yes, would def be good for albums like The Wall and Crime of the Century.....Thank for showing up early!
@@retroreactions.... I love that idea.
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" always makes me smile.
Never analyzed the line till right now 😆
Being both a Floyd veteran and a regular to your channel, I was eagerly awaiting three things: 1) your reaction to "On the Run", which I knew would melt your brain to the point I was almost expecting some cerebral matter dripping from your ears; 2) your second reaction to "Time" --- I had seen the first one, but now you know that (like all songs in this album) it becomes a totally different song when it's listened to in context; and 3) when I realized you hadn't listened to "The Great Gig in the Sky" yet, and no matter what you had read about it, you thought that when "Time" ended, that was it... I got an evil grin, suppressed the maniacal laugh of a mad scientist in a B movie (on a late-night double-feature picture show, of course), and kept waiting in antici... pation for your shock with Clare Torry's vocal witchcraft. You didn't disappoint me.
I was 12 when this album came out (now 62... "ten years have got behind me" many times since!) and even at that tender age it blew me away. That also applied to all my friends. It took us months to just start fading out the repeated listens under all moods and circumstances and start talking a little less often about it. My mom, who like all parents of all generations used to complain that "today's music is just noise", made an exception to Pink Floyd and stated with conviction: "THIS is music!" The impact this album had can't be overstated. The only comparable thing, I guess, was "Sgt. Pepper's" a few years earlier for people a little older. People from my generation can "play" the entire album inside our heads note by note from start to finish!
And here we are half a century later, and this album is still blowing people's minds as if it were brand new... It takes true genius to create something like that.
Amazing journey you had with this album and band! So glad you enjoyed the reaction... with full lights on, my mind went on an epic journey... can't wait to do it again with no lights... thank you so much Goyta!
Together with YES's "Close To The Edge", here are the two greatest albums in the past history (and current production) of progrock. Unsurpassed and unsurpassable masterpieces. To listen to them is to live a transcendental (musical and more) experience. Thanks.
Thank you as well Sagitt..
The greatest present to the 50th anniversary is listen to it as whole piece of art 😀👍😉
Yes, it was an amazing beautiful experience....thank you so much for watching my friend.... :)
Well done sir, bravo. This must be a special occasion because you're not even wearing any headdress. 😳 Nice hair!
Imagine sitting in the middle of a stadium during "On The Run" and having those layers of synth sounds swirling around you from 360° all around the stadium. Only to culminate with a plane coming up from behind you traversing the full length of the stadium and crashing into the side of the stage in a ball of fire. That's Pink Floyd live my friend. The only thing that possibly beats a Pink Floyd album. Looking forward to side 2!
"I never said I was frightened of dying" -- whisper from "Great Gig in the Sky'.
Haha, thanks....I just had to dress up a little more to mark this momentous day! I wish I could more than imagine that, but I will hear the epicness in Pulse at least! Glad you enjoyed....I didn't hear the whisper in Great Gig, I will have to listen for it....the final note went out of tune at the end..I assume that was intentional? See you tomorrow for side 2 ♥
@@retroreactions.... no, you wouldn't hear it on the first listen. The brain is still in a bit of a state. These are nuances that slowly reveal themselves over time, unless you cheat and research it all on Wiki or some other source. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just that that option wasn't available to us 50 40 30 years ago. Which only added to the mystery and mystique of the album. Spiritual.
Yes that last note is out of tune. Never heard a legit reason for it. But you can bet it's intentional.
OK, was just making sure Spotify or my OBS software didn't mess up haha....
Didn't think of that..no internet to cheat back then haha!
Can you begin to imagine how we felt riding home on the bus in 1973, clutching our own copy of Dark Side? I was just 19 years old, a long haired photography student. Mind blown ever since, every track holds different meaning as you age.
A prized possession!! Thanks for sharing Paul..
Got this album when I was 15 I am 61 now still love it .. great review
Nice! Thanks so much for watching and for the comment/compliment Kelly!
All done! Neighbours away so cranked the sound on the big system - sounded great!
So DSOTM is about life and death, and means more to you (well, me) as I get older. Pushing 70 now here (not quite...). Being the last of my line and having no family, I've been working on my gravestone epitaph (someone's got to do it!) and what I've come up with is stolen from various songs:
Always
the Summers are slipping away
Please
Find me a way of making them stay
So Soon
the music fades, the time has come, the song is over
Forget forever; close my eyes.
Goodbye
I cry
1st stansa is from the only band to challenge PF in prog music, from a song released in 2002 called Trains.
Nice reaction! :)
Woohoo! Thanks so much again.... Wow, that was beautiful! Good planning there... ♥
In order to really experience it like we did in the 70s you got to listen to it while you're stoned LOL
Yea, I'm missing a few elements for the "Ultra VIP experience" LOL, but this was amazing enough :)
@@retroreactions.... I thought you were stoned. Lol
haha, no....I can only imagine how PF would sound while under that spell..... :)
@@retroreactions.... I'll take an extra rip for you then. I loves a wake and bake. 🙃
LMAO ♥
This album has remained more than 900 consecutive weeks in the Top 200, that's almost 18 years, E-I-G-H-T-E-E-N years!!! 🤟🤟
After a couple of attempts by other singers didn't produce the results the band wanted, the vocalist on GGITS, Clare Torry, a London based jazz singer, was brought in on the suggestion of Abbey Road studio engineer Alan Parsons. After Richard Wright played a few bars of the piano riff for her, they told her just to improvise what she felt. Being a jazz singer, her first attempt was a lot of "oh baby oh" type stuff. Roger then explained that the song was about death and to "go have a sing at that." Her second and final take is what you just heard. The boys liked it, thanked her, paid her the standard rate of 30 pounds and she left, not even knowing if her vocals would be on the album. The rest, as they say, is history. Ironically, years later she sued the band for royalties she felt were due her, and she was awarded handsomely for her efforts. Share it fairly, right Rog?
Wow, what a story...well it worked out great for everyone ha!
I believe it was Dave the finally had sympathy on her and told her to think about death. Up to that point she said she wasn't getting anywhere with anybody. After doing it she said she left the session shaking her head and thinking, her exact words, "well, that will never see the light of day". Little did she know she had just added her voice to one of the most celebrated albums of all time.
She did start a 3rd take at their request, but stopped and told them she didn’t think she could top the 2nd. Her interview about performing the song is here on CZcams.
@@flubblert Amazing!
@@lynnhoffman247 Very cool....sounds like they kept the perfect take!
The poster was on my bedroom wall as a teenager, I spent hrs in my bedroom with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Yes, Genesis, Supertramp& more, happy days, 50 yrs of this genius& pure talent, we were truly blessed then ❤️🙏
Your teenage self had impeccable taste..Kudos to you! 😀
@@retroreactions.... We were in 2 genres , heavy rock or Motown, I love Motown now, but not back then 😊Eric Clapton was the only one I adored, another genius guitarist
💫✨⭐️♥️💫✨⭐️Can’t wait for for side 2.Thanks for the respectful perfect first listen ⭐️
Aw, thanks Paula for watching, for the comment, and for the compliment.. tried my best to get it right! 😊
When this album was released I was a 14 year old. I’d plug big old school headphones into my parent’s stereo, laying on the carpet, with the lights off. PF is one the groups that nearly require headphones to appreciate their musical skills. Their music creates a trance like state, out of body, or psychedelic state.
What an experience at 14!! Thanks for watching
A timeless masterpiece. Released 50 years ago this week. What incredible year it was Dark Side Of The Moon by Floyd, Selling England By The Pound by Genesis, Brain Salad Surgery by ELP, Tubular Bells by Mick Oldfield amongst others. The album cover for this is probably the most iconic of all time. Nice appraisal again. Side 1 is excellent as is the whole record. Time still remains my favourite from the album.
and sounds just as incredible 50 years later! love all of Time, especially that intro and the guitar solo! Thanks Killian :)
@@retroreactions.... I'd like to add Five Miles Out (Taurus II !) and Amarok by Mike Oldfield to the list of album recommendations (for these seem falling under the radar far too often). Progrock at its best. For me growing up with this kind of music in the 80s was a fantastic, priceless experience. And I haven't stop listening! 🎶😃 Keep enjoying!
@@rincemind8369 Thanks for the suggestions and for watching/commenting!
Even after uncountable dozens of thousands of time I've listened to the best album in Space Time, "I - can't - get - enough of it, ba-by !"...
You'll enjoy it more when you'll listen to it for yourself, low light or dark... A real shamanic trip. A deep experience.
I may get a little scared lol....well at least now I know what to expect! Sheer sonic brilliance....
Loved your reaction. Can hardly believe it's been 50 years.
Thank you so much Mary!
Happy 50th Birthday, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’.
I bought my Vinyl Album on the day it was released and still have it.
My Son just messaged me a few minutes ago and said, “Wow! Half a Century and still as popular as ever.
That’s real music for you Dad”. Congratulations 🎶💛🎶
🥳 Claasic! Great message from your son, sounds like he's a fan too!!
I still have my original album, too! One of the few of my vinyl collection my brother knew not to sell while I was at college! He recently bought me a weathervane for my house to replace those records, lol 😂
@@retroreactions.... Oh yeah, he is Brandon. He goes to ‘The Australian Pink Floyd Show’ with us every year too. Have to keep those amazing memories alive. He often reminds me that he was born in the wrong generation, especially where music is concerned. 🎶❤️🎶
@@eddiecriglington400 Nice! Well sounds like he has the perfect role model for classic music appreciation... :)
Ha! The first time I heard this was on an old mono record player. It was a box. My sister's boyfriend put it on and walked out of the room (as if he knew...). I got on with what I was doing but when On The Run came on, like you, I was blown away... by a single small speaker from the other side of the room! It's hard to believe that those sounds resonated in my ears like they do from a £50 pair of buds today! The genius of Pink Floyd's music always sonically comes through, even if belting out of a radio on a factory floor. Thanks for the reaction Brandon, because it was you first listen, it' brought back memories similar to yours. Side 2 awaits.
He sure missed out haha....cool story for your first listen! So glad you enjoyed...see you tomorrow for the rest! :)
I was 12 years old when this album came out and it blew me away. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan and this is still my favorite album of all time. Great reaction! Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks so much Jeanine...your taste in music was impeccable from the start!
Thank you for playing this 1975 i first heard this on Acid. Now 2023 not on Acid its amazing forever
Yes, this album will be huge until the end of the world....Thanks Emilia

E grazie mille per aver guardato! La gente adorerà questo album nel suo centesimo anniversario! :))
Posso se vivo fino a 97 anni! LOL!!
@@retroreactions.... si...tu si. Ma io che ne ho 58...
Va bene....per allora faremo entrambi parte del grande concerto nel cielo!!
@@retroreactions.... 😍🎆
Best way to listen to this album the first time is with your best bud smoking 3 j's and drinking a wineskin, fifty yrs ago
I bet...epic times..
After a lot of air travel, On the Run really started to resonate with me. I used to have weird dreams about flying, some a bit nightmarish. I think part is that a passenger has zero control.
Yes, that one sure captures some deep intensity and terror.....
Darkside of the moon the most listened Album in musical history .
Now I can fully see why, thanks Tom Tom!
This album came out when I was in high school, been loving it ever since.Thank you.
Hi there! I've been loving it for 40 hours lol, you got me beat! Thanks so much for watching...
Love love this album! ❤
Me too!! Thanks Isa
True Class.. Your respect shown the album yes, but mostly your eloquence in your video.. is well respected here Man. 💯 ✌️
Wow, what a beautiful compliment. Thank you so much for that and for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Much appreciated.
I was close indeed, you had me on a technicality 😀 😀
Già 50 anni fa erano avanti di 100 . Saranno immortali .
Siiii!
Best way to describe Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon: "What a Trip!"
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this or any Pink Floyd record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul !!!
I would add a dim lava lamp or 2 to the equation!
@@retroreactions.... Bravo!
At some point during, "On The Run", your eyes silently meet the camera, and if I had let my imagination loose, there'd have been a thought bubble above your head, saying, _"Holy crap, Guys, you were SO right!"_
Yep! ;-]
Ha, so true....that one hit like a ton of bricks....if anyone had described it here beforehand, I certainly forgot and was not anywhere near prepared!!
@@retroreactions.... Everybody always makes a big deal over Gilmour's guitars, and he definitely deserves it, but I always thought that Wright's keyboards were just as integral to the PF sound.
Glad you're loving it!
Cheers from The Great White North!
@@robertcartier5088 Yes! Rick doesn’t always get the credit he deserves.
@@robertcartier5088 Agree...I'm sure you know I love RW the most!
🌈 Happy Anniversary! 🥰🐰
On Time it's both David Gilmore and Richard Wright doing the back n forth vocals.
Thanks David!
WOW!!!!!!! So this is what all the fuss is about. Just kidding, my Mom and Dad were hippies. I grew up with this and Led Zepplin. All my life. Creativity almost beyond belief. I just felt like something more to say.✌💫💖
Well, nice and early today!! Ah, so you got this album from an early age nice! Thanks as always for being here in the Retro Reactions Crew 😊🤗🥳
@@retroreactions.... Thank You!! Proud to be here!!!!!!

😁
by the way, there is a new piano version of the Gorillaz "Silent Running". You should take a listen.
Roger Waters solo album Radio Kaos is a story album that should also be listened to in two parts
Hi...does it sound like PF style or something different?
@@retroreactions.... A little more rock than than the typical floyd maybe
@@retroreactions.... it is definitely “Pink Floydish”. A friend of ours recorded a cassette for us with parts of it for a car trip……I remember listening to it driving in the dark through Utah……..Very cool indeed. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the entire album…..
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Nice....Utah is beautiful...I drove through it last year, but I would be SCARED to drive through those towering mountains/rocks at night!!!
Please consider not only DSOM at Pulse but the whole concert is a must. Good work and Happy Birthday Dark Side..
OK, thanks...I have reacted to 3 from Pulse in case you didn't see...Thanks so much Tom for watching and commenting!
Hi Brandon, love your reactions, even though you’ve done “shine on”, try wish you were here all the way through, the filling is equal to the sandwich. Can’t wait for your Wall reaction, again all the way through, my friend.
Hope The Wall doesn't get blocked at all!
All I can say is.. ENJOY!
A masterpiece ✨️ includes the stunning track Time ⏲️. - C
I'm definitely enjoying every moment of my Pink Floyd journey! Thanks so much for watching!!
6:27 is for when you put the needle in
Once you've done the album, the live Pulse 1994 version is pretty good - they do the whole album as it was originally intended to be one long piece. This month (March 2023) to celebrate its 50th anniversary, PF are releasing a live version from 1974.
Yes, I have reacted to 3 from Pulse, but so excited to hear this full album in Pulse. I didn't know about this new release! Please tell me it's going to be video and not just audio?
@@retroreactions.... Its an audio release, along with a big box set of stuff but the CD is available separately from 24 March, best check out the official YT Floyd channel:).
There's a great bluesy version of Any Colour You Like from Brighton 1972 here:
czcams.com/video/y-mGcfWXe0Y/video.html
but the video footage - PF in their younger days - is taken from other sources and it think is actually from other tracks but it kind of matches.
OK thanks, I will watch it now!
Amazing!
EXCELENTE!!!
Thanks!!
the female vocalist wasn't given much direction, just to make sounds that went with the music. she left the session thinking they didn't like and wouldn't use it, and didn't find out differently until the album was released. reading between the lines in her description, I think the band was stoned out of their gourds
Wow, crazy story... 🤪
So many teens became parents after this album came out.
I am 'guilty' of 2, that I know of.
LOL, never even thought of that :)

@@lynnhoffman247 LOL I bet...
@@retroreactions.... 🫣🙃
Thanks Brandon…. I’ve been waiting for this one! I can’t believe I’ve listened to this for 50 of my almost 63 years!! I can’t wait for side 2 tomorrow. I saw the Pulse tour July 3, 1994 up in Madison, Wisconsin. Even through the rain during the show, it was the best live show I’ve EVER experienced bar none! Keep up the great reactions.
Wow thank you SO much Dale for your support and generosity. I really appreciate it! So glad you got to see Pulse in person...must have been so cool to discover PF both as a kid/teen and when it was all new! Thanks again... :)
My pleasure my friend. Just keep them coming. I do have a suggestion for another of my favorite bands. The band being Porcupine Tree. They started back in 1991 and I’ve listened to them for a solid 20 years. I saw them back in 2010 at the Riviera Theater in Chicago for their “The Incident” tour which was recorded that night. The 2012 double live album “Octane Twisted” was a result of that, and it showcases an amazing band. One of my favorites on those albums is the track “Time Flies”. It’s about a 12 minute masterpiece that you will find many hints of Pink Floyd scattered throughout. The lead guitar/singer is Steven Wilson who has several amazing solo albums as well. Porcupine Tree did just release their latest album in 2022. Hopefully introducing you to Porcupine Tree may open up a new door for your listening.
Sounds amazing! Will make sure to get to it :)
Steven Wilson is such a talent. Back in 2018 he remixed the very first 5 “Yes” albums. He’s done work with Opeth and many other bands. Steven released an Album called “To The Bone” in 2017 that has a haunting song on it called “Pariah” that features Ninet Tayeb on vocals. It’s personally one of my favorites from that album.
hmm 1987...for some reason I thought Porcupine Tree came from the same time as Pink Floyd, Genesis, ST, ELP, etc....Have to learn more about Steve...
Funny! listening once more after many times this so famous masterpiece, I still discover sounds I didn't noticed before. Anyway, each listening, is another listening time lapse in our life, and we all grow and change in every instants going through our journey, like this very music in one point of time in 1973. Thematics here were life through our body, "breathe", madness and depression "on the run", time running (no one can escape!) "Time" applying to our life "Breathe reprise", cosmic Meditation and primal scream, "The great gig in the Sky". About the sounds I discovered by the way. In the intro, you got the life heartbeat, but then you always hear the "Money machine" from side two, and also already the ticking mechanicals from the time clocks, then the voices talking about madness, laughters, growing to some insane scream crisis, all in the intro. All concrete noises presentation for this masterwork 😇
👍 the wait always seemed so long between their recordings and tours.
But after they would take a rest they'd come back a little better than the last. As if.
I know you read my comments last time about Floyd so I'll spare you.
✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️
Thanks for all your comments and support!!
Had to stop listening 40 secs into 1st track; migrating this whole experience over to the big system :)
Nice! Hope the sound is good, I try to get a good balance between the music and my voice....I know I was a little quieter this time in the spoken review... have a great day/night!
Perhaps I will say something after all Richard Wright RIP
At this time top keyboard/ synthesizer artists were
Richard Wright
Keith Emerson
Rick Wakeman
Edgar Winter
I seen that smile as his synthesizer sounds of the spaceship.
It is an extension or a continuation of earlier works.
Such as
Interstellar Overdrive
Saucer full of secrets Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.
✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️
Keyboard royalty there! Oh, all 3 of those are spacey songs?
@@retroreactions.... Yes they are.
With Richard Wright leading the way. Like saucer full of secrets to which he wrote.
Hints of what was to come . You can hear some of those Rifts repeated in later works.
They just did a good job of disguising.
I'm subscribed.
But despite being retired, I have little time. I still have two ranches, (1,200 mi. apart.) Orchards, and Vineyards to manage. I typically fly from one private Runway to another twice a month.
And have for decades.
And it all requires time management.😵
✌️
Well busy is good! Thanks so much again for subscribing. Hope you can catch my vids now and then. Stay safe out there!
This is the way to discover such a marvel. You made it right ! I do hope you'll someday give the same treatment to 1997 "Subterranea" by IQ !
Thanks! I added that to the list...so far I only had Dark Christmas Suite for them!
@@retroreactions.... I asked for it but I realized that it was not released between the 70's and the 90's thus I thought you dropped it ! So glad you kept it on the list !!!
Are you talking about Dark Christmas? What year did that come out?
@@retroreactions.... Yes it came out in 2017 I think. It was recorded for a free cd given to the fans during gigs. If you don't keep it to the list, then try the title "Further Away" from 1993. Worth it !
🤗 Now imagine Side 1 ...... 😏 on 🍄🍄🍄🍄! 🤭 That was 'a thing' back in the day! That and PF Laser Shows at the Hayden Planetarium on Wed after school! 😁🐰
Haha, must be insane!! I see you're binge watchin me LOL WOOHOO!! 🙏😎🥰
@@retroreactions.... 😌 After a week straight of Conventions & Shows, 🙄 sometimes 2 in 1 day, you find yourself home up at 2am cause you're still on Tour time! 🤗 This my "ME TIME" 🥰 and I pick you to share it with! 😒 Hope that didn't/doesn't sound weird. 😚 I do lead a very interesting life since I officially retired! 🤭🙂🐰
I don't tour but I'm usually on tour time haha....no I'm honored that you chose to watch me!! 🤩
Great! But I would suggest to any new P F fan that listening to one side at a time is fine. Not necessarily the whole album at once. Because back in the day, LPs only could hold about 20 minutes of recording, even prog rock artists had to limit themselves to that format. And split it into at least 2 parts. Always an in between sides time when you had to get up, and flip the LP record over. Take a break, smoke a j. Then you'd put the needle down on the second side.
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Hm you react to everything i love i feel like. I would recommend King Crimson if they wouldn't take every video down. :( At least "In The Court of the Crimson King" is for me an almost perfect album.
Since you are more Retro how about ehm...
Gentle Giant? Talking Heads? The Beach Boys? The Police? The Smiths? The Velvet Underground? The Who? David Bowie? Simon & Garfunkel or Paul Simon? Prince? Pixies? Neil Young? Nine Inch Nails? Television?
You know... just everything that i love no pressure. :D
Oh no, so KC is notorious for blocking? Well 5 or 6 of those artists are already on my master list! Seems we have similar taste, please just tell me you love my #1 of all time Depeche Mode!
@@retroreactions.... I've heard KC guitarist Robert Fripp has a team for blocking videos but some reactions were never touched. Maybe you need to ask him nicely before. :D He has an active CZcams channel. Corrrection he is active on his wifes youtube channel 'Toyah' making some great music covers.
If Synthpop would be my go-to music Depeche Mode would be my number 1. But i still like them a lot. I just didn't listen to all of their stuff currently.
Hope you check out DMs new album when it comes out in 2 weeks! Better yet watch me react to it here for the 1st time! They better not block it!
@@retroreactions.... sure why not :D
@retro How do you play copyrighted music on CZcams??
Hi, once you post a copyrighted song, CZcams either accepts it or blocks the video. That depends whether the copyright holder allows people to use the content on CZcams. In most cases it seems, including with Pink Floyd, the owners allow their music to be used by content creators like me. The catch is that those copyright owners get all the ad revenue from my video and I get nothing money wise from 4 hours of work to make 1 video. That's the general nature of reaction videos. I assume the same holds true for other types of CZcams videos that use copyrighted music in the background. Thanks.
in 73 this was like a UFO landing in the ears of the masses. Get your passports ready... for the future!
I can't even imagine....millions of instant fans on first listen I bet!
You really need to be stoned to truly enjoy this album
A masterpiece is it not?
Just a little! Haha....jk 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sorry, but I cannot stand the caterwauling in GGITS. It completely ruins Ricks exquisite piano playing.
Oh no! Well, of course music is in the ear of the beholder, so I respect your view completely...thanks for watching!
I felt the same way the first time I heard it. I didn’t know what is was supposed to be. Once I learned what was being represented……the various stages of grief over knowing you’re going to die, it made absolute sense to me and became very powerful. Nothing else like it in music. I’m pretty sure I would “caterwaul” myself if I just found out I was going to peg out soon. Perhaps it would help to realize that the screams and cries ARE the focus of the song……representing an elemental part of the human experience……the lovely piano playing is, in this case, to be seen as an accompaniment only, not the focus.
