For those who do not know where the name “Pink Floyd” came from…… Syd Barrett - original founder of the band had two favorite Blues Guitar Players in his record collection, two black men both from Atlanta Georgia…. “Pink Anderson and Floyd Council”
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know
WOW What an experience that must of been for YOU!!!!!! My Dad had a Strat He just passed of Covid age 73 last year! Been damn hard!!! But He had a 63 I think this is I have it now ... Perfect Condition pretty much gave it to my son that plays guitar He left it to him actually!!! / Sunburst I think He said He was 16 when He bought it so must of been 1963 ISH ........ IT'S A BEAUT!!!! 🎸🎸🎸 I also have his Acoustic & VERY OLD Fender Amp
This album was on the charts for 736 straight weeks, it debuted at number 95 in 1973 and left the charts in 1988. This record, to my knowledge, has never been broken. So yeah, perhaps the best album of all times, at least in sales.
Pink Floyd were just straight up musical geniuses. Their intros, lyrical word play, the different drops throughout the songs. 40 or 45 years later they are still moving people. Unreal
Listen to the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album beginning-to-end, and you'll have a whole new appreciation for the band. It truly is an experience. BTW, "Comfortably Numb" is on a different album, "The Wall".
@@23gobears She wasn't their backup singer. She was just a contract studio singer. Alan Parsons (yes, THAT Alan Parsons) suggested using her. Clare Torry didn't even really know who Pink Floyd was at the time she was brought in to sing, or exactly what they wanted. She improvised, and the rest is history.
She said she didn’t even know they had used her vocal until she saw ‘Dark Side Of the Moon’ for sale in the record store, bought a copy, and took it home and played it. She was shocked that they had used her entire vocal.
Hey guys I'm 55 years old from San Diego California and I'm a surfer and you're so well-spoken and intellectual I love listening to your reactions and she's right and you're right they are amazing and that song was more of a radio hit because people can't quite handle their super long until actual songs but homeboy you are spot-on and very very intelligent young man and very proud of you
Many albums are ranked by the number of weeks they are on the Billboard charts (5 or 10 weeks would be something to be proud of). Dark Side of the Moon was on Billboard for something like 15 YEARS, maybe more.
Yeah friends trust us, do the whole album . One side per video. 2 vids each are around 20 mins. But don't stop between songs, the motional carryover and the actual music just seemlessly pass from song to song without you noticing. Do it and youll be amazed that even though these songs are great they're even better in their proper spot on the greatest album EVER...Dark Side Of The Moon. Been with you guys from the beginning. I KNOW YOU NEED THIS!
The best time of my life was the early 80's when i was about 15 & was turned on to The Dark Side Of The Moon at a party. To this day this is my favorite LP of all time. Enjoy watching you two experience the sounds.
I find it hard to have a "favorite" band If I'm listening to Pink Floyd then they're my favorite. If I'm listening to Led Zeppelin then they're my favorite. If I'm listening to Rush then they're my favorite. Different bands for different moods My favorite is whichever one is playing at the time
I'm right there with you brother. I like all kinds of music, and have a wide variety of styles in my top twenty, but Pink Floyd is my #1 and has been for over forty years. Hard to put into words, it's just kinda magical what they do and how they do it.
You’ve probably heard about how well Dark Side of the Moon synchs up with The Wizard of Oz. ‘Money’ begins the moment the film transitions from black & white to color, as Dorothy steps outside, onto the yellow brick road. The opening sound effects of this track fit the scene so well. Especially after following the chaotic tornado scene as ‘The Great Gig in the Sky’ plays. You can find it here on CZcams if you’re interested. Just a fun, artistic thing to experience.
Growing up Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were always neck and neck so I feel your pain lol Some cool trivia - in the music video for 'another brick in the wall" the teacher scolds the child for writing poetry in math class; the poem he read out loud in front of the class were lyrics from this song!
With over 45 million copies sold, this is one of the best selling albums of all time! Not to mention over 900 weeks on the charts! All this from an album from 1973!!
Now you're going back to my youth and I'm 61!-I remember this song playing on the radio, at my grandfather's.-and yes Sir, I believe Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin were so good they were ahead of their time, so to speak, in musicianship, style, songwriting, etc.--you have to remember that these bands were considered " breakthrough " at the time they came out, in the 60's & 70's!-and they are still slaying todsy.--Personally, I still ❤ listening to Led Zeppelin today-it is still great sounds!-I ❤ hearing that the younger generations enjoy these bands!
The song called The Gunners Dream from the last album with Roger Waters has a seamless transition from a Saxophone into a Vocal. My favorite track from The Final Cut.
That albums a tough listen. I saw Roger on the amused to death tour and he did that track and get your filthy hands of my desert. Also a couple off pros and cons of hitchhiking.
@@jbranum3087 Agreed it is a tough listen. I’ve been playing my own rendition of gunners dream on the piano for a while it’s a fun song to play. I had a cassette of pros and cons that I played until the oxide wore off and it made a terrible screeching sound. I got very close to doing the same thing to the replacement cassette tape. David Sanborn and Eric Clapton made that album a treat to listen to, Clapton‘s dobro slide playing is great on that record. Must have been great seeing those tunes live.
ANYONE Who Appreciates Pink Floyd,, ABSOLUTELY MUST Do This At Least Once In Your Life,, Get Yourself Comfortable & Completely Relaxed,, Turn Down (Or Better Yet,, Off) All The Lights..Then Put On Your Headphones,, Turn Up The Volume To Max,, Close Your Eyes & Listen To The Whole "Dark Side Of The Moon" Album..TRUST ME!!
David Gilmour lead vocals and lead guitar. Both iconic in the annals of Rock. They do a pretty good version of this on the live Pulse concert video. "Us and Them" is the next song up on the album.
pink floyds first masterpiece is echoes from the album meddle in 1971 the best version of it it live from pompeii its split into 2 parts part 1 is extremely well done
Though David Gilmour can play sax he didn't play it here. The sax is from Dick Parry who also plays on the next album, Wish You Were Here, as well as The Floyd's final performance at Live 8 in July 2005. He also toured with the band's 1994 world tour of the Division Bell album which was recorded for posterity in the P.U.LS.E. CD/DVD.
I wouldn't say they were an afterthought in the slightest, they were an integral part of the song, just perfectly interwoven, the musical intro would set the mood perfectly for where the lyrics would take you, how they make you think, it's almost the perfect relationship between words and music
First, the saxaphone wasn't played by David Gilmour, it was played by Dick Parry a well known session musician. Watch the last concert of the original members of Pink Floyd on Live Aid 1985. 4 songs, around 25 minutes long. Superb.
This is a true Masterclass band. Them along with Zeppelin. Nothing left the studio until perfection was achieved. Floyd's attention to detail is amazing.
I've said it myself many times that Pink Floyd is the Mozart/ Beethoven of the twentieth century! Since it's apparent that so many people are still Blown Away by Pink Floyd in 2022 people are obviously going to continue listening to them! After checking several sites Dark Side of the Moon still sells from eight to ten thousand copies a week worldwide!! And like Mozart and Beethoven people will still be listening to them 200 500 even a thousand years from now if we don't get blown up by an asteroid or something! Please try to remember this, when you listen to the last songs on this album please play brain damage and Eclipse as one song because of the incredible transition from one to the next which you won't even feel!!
Listen from start to finish. The whole Album as it’s meant to be. I bought it the day it was released, in 1973 and will never stop listening to it, with the same excitement every time. Enjoy. 🎶❤️🎶
To get the full pink Floyd appreciation you have to listen to the albums all at once song after song. Every song ties into the next and other songs as well. Almost a movie when you listen to pink Floyd. Which they actually made a movie with the theme track being. Another brick in the wall album. They are untouched
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are neck and neck for sure. They are both GOAT in their own right and heavily influenced by blues music. They were fans of each other I believe.I hope you can react to Echoes live in Pompeii by Pink Floyd and In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin.
Please please do the entire album in one sitting and break up into two show shows . This was meant to be heard in one listen . It’s. Story the wings all run together . Please do this it’s mandatory to be a PF fan 😉
Here's a band that will blow your mind as far as transitions and musicianship. YES: "Roundabout" "Starship Trooper" "Long Distance Runaround" "Heart Of The Sunrise" "And You And I" " Wondrous Stories" and when you think you're ready for a masterpiece..... "Close To The Edge"
This is the best Pink Floyd for anyone who doesn't know Pink Floyd Not the "best" Pink Floyd track but the best intro.... If you don't like this..... 🤔 And yes the change in time from 7/8 to 4/4 when David's solo starts just works brilliantly 😉
No one ever reacts to Roger Waters solo stuff, he was the main man in Pink Floyd and has some amazing tracks. Perfect Sense and Every Strangers Eyes are fantastic tunes.
Yo, Dark side of the moon is one of the best albums ever made. I remember the day it was released. My 11 years old sister and I (7) left school for a dental appointment. On passing through town there was a HUGE queue leading towards the record shop, this was in a town of 50k inhabitants in Scotland, UK. I remember the big prism filling the shop window, but as a 7 year old didn't know what was up. I realised a while later. So good to see you listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. My life wouldn't have been the same without their music. Best wishes from Scotland.
Without realizing it, at the end of the song you just listened to, that organ or synth, was actually the beginning of the next track on the album. Pink Floyd's most popular albums are concept albums, meant to be listened from first to last track in order uninterrupted. Only by doing this will you appreciate just WHAT the song means to the album as a whole, kind of like a chapter in a book. After the first time, of course, you will know. The concept albums are Dark Side of the Moon 1973, Wish You Were Here 1975, Animals 1977 and The Wall 1979. Oh, and read the lyrics while listening, makes more sense that way. I was born in 1960, and my older brother had me into music good and young, and I grew up listening to ALL those great bands. And in my opinion, Pink Floyd has always been just a notch ahead of the next best bands, in their production, live shows, lyrics, etc. Still feel the same way today. And David GIlmour has ALWAYS been my favourite guitarist. And Comfortably Numb is on The Wall, not Dark Side of the Moon. And if you watch the live version at Pulse, please, please watch the UNCUT version, since the one everybody is watching has over 1 minute of guitar finale CUT OUT. Reason? Gilmour heard a 'dodgy note or two' so edited it out. But in order to get out 1 second of maybe not perfect music, they had to cut 1 minute and 6 seconds of perfectly GOOD and not dodgy notes out as well. I like the UNCUT version, because that is how the people at the concert heard it, and I even think I know which note or two is supposedly 'dodgy', but, for an extra minute of great guitar, who the eff cares?
But wait...there's more. The rest of the album is absolute 🔥. Great reaction. The smile on her face during the sax/guitar solos says it all! Have never seen Pink Floyd live. Though I did get to see Roger Waters in concert sometime in the 90's. It was the first time playing songs from Pink Floyd since leaving the band. Second favorite concert after Page/Plant.
If you watch "The Dark Side of Oz" which is the Wizard of Oz movie with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" album replacing the sound of the movie, the cash register sounds at the beginning of "Money" happen right when the movie changes from black and white to color. The timing is perfect.
my fave band. this song isnt even in my top 50 floyd songs. cant go wrong with them. pick any floyd song, or try any from their pulse concert such as "sorrow" its epic. . could try the band Muse, new song "wont stand down" . one of the few bands out now who are any good 🙂great reaction guys.
I appreciate what you both do. I strongly encourage you to listen to this album start to finish in one sitting. The guitarist/singer Dave Gilmour once said that his biggest regret in have to be in it and record it is that he'll never be able to sit and listen to that album from start to finish for the first time.
The first 2 verses and the sax solo was in a 7/8 beat. When it came to the guitar solo, Dave Gilmour said he could not solo unless it was changed up to an 8/8. It switched back to a 7/8 for the last verse.
Having so much fun watching you guys light up to the music my dad introduced me to as a kid, great channel, satisfied subscriber! Pink Floyd and DSotM are my #1 as well.
Hi from Canada! My personal favourite song is Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Listen to the studio version first. Absolutely amazing! You won’t regret it! Cheers! ✌🏻🇨🇦
Its worth noting that the lyrics "new car caviaer and four star day dream gonna buy me a football team" appear in the video of pinks floyd film "the wall"
It's funny how this song sings about caviar and nice cars as weird sorts of compromises, whereas many songs today paint achieving those things as being a positive symbol of success. Waters wrote it thinking of money being, in many ways, too complicated to call 'success.' Essentially it's about the cost of having money.
If y’all like Pink Floyd this much, check out something from their album Animals. I recommend the song “Pigs” or “Dogs” to start with… though it’s a concept album so you really oughta do the whole thing in order for full effect. Stay real, y’all. Love.
Brother- I agree 100%, Led Zepp and Pink Floyd are the absolute top of the heap in my book too. I remember when of all their albums came out, and we waited at the record stores for the shipments, to run home and put it on the turntable with speakers full blast. Every song’s a masterpiece. I’d say the only other band to rival them is the Allman Brother’s Band. I listened to this album when I was 18, after dropping pure LSD-25- whew!! a crazy, harrowing experience!
Good reaction, when you get a chance listen to "Shine your crazy diamond" and "Echoes" Live at Pompeii. Pink Floyd will definitely be your favorite band after listening to those two.
Dark Side of the Moon, should be played from the first song on side 1, thru the last song on side 2, to really get the whole album. The band even said that's the way they made the album to be played, pretty cool.
For the love of all things Pink Floyd, I urge anyone interested to get a copy of the "Classic Albums" series documentary episode featuring "The Making of the Dark Side of the Moon". There are fragments of it on YT but I urge you to seek it out in it's entirety.DVD or whatever, you will learn so much about the makings of one of the most essential/crucial albums in musical history. I guarantee it! It's phenomenal.
Y'all need to check Pink Floyd's, "Animals" Listen/react to these two first. This is how the vinyl was arranged. Side one 1. Pigs on the Wing (Part One) 2. Dogs Then listen/react - Pigs. Then listen/react - Sheep and Pigs On the Wing(Part Two) Side two 1. "Pigs (Three Different Ones) 2. "Sheep" 3. "Pigs on the Wing (Part Two) You won't regret it. It goes into some fantastic, thought-provoking lyrics. I'm probably biased, though. Animals is my favorite Floyd album. I bought it when it was released and already into Dark Side. Meddle is good too.
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin being in your top 5 tells me your on the right track in your rock journey my friend😂 For me them and the doors and Black Sabbath are the Mount Rushmore of classic rock
Pink Floyd was a moderately successful UK band in 1972, when the band began working on 'Dark side of the moon'... When the album was released in 1973, Pink Floyd literally went from a faceless band to a legendary status by 1974... the album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, and MONEY came pouring into the band members' pockets. The sad part is that massive commercial success did not fix the growing problems within the band... in fact, they got worse. David Gilmour remarked that Pink Floyd did not have a charismatic star(s) on stage like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or The Who... their main guy was a bass player (Roger Waters) who glared at the audiences and could be difficult at times, so Pink Floyd stayed faceless for the most part... None of the band members were recognizable in public, which suited them fine. Pink Floyd had never gotten over their founder Syd Barrett being ousted from the band in 1968, and that loss had haunted the band members ever since... Even as they sold millions of records, played arenas and stadiums in the 70's, they still felt his "ghost" ... People speculated that Pink Floyd reunited to play 1 more show in 2005 for charity because they had heard that Syd Barrett was not in good health, and they wanted to thank him one last time by honoring the band he had created... Syd Barrett reportedly passed away in 2006... Keyboardist Richard Wright succumbed to cancer in 2008. David Gilmour (guitar & vocals) did the vocals on "Money" ... Roger Waters (bass) wrote the lyrics.
@@saraheart2804 Yes, that song. I was referring to the lyrics & vocals... not the music. Wright, Gilmour & Mason did contribute music for 'Dark side of the moon'.
They do hypnotize. The amazing thing was, when you saw them live, you realized the music, while being the part that had to be present, the sine qua non, was just a part of the whole show. Everything was coordinated: lights, visuals, music, band.
For those who do not know where the name “Pink Floyd” came from…… Syd Barrett - original founder of the band had two favorite Blues Guitar Players in his record collection, two black men both from Atlanta Georgia…. “Pink Anderson and Floyd Council”
Dude I would totally name a Pink Floyd tribute band Anderson Council.
@@scottclark3761 Brilliant!!
By the way, which one's pink? 😉
@@ernestocheguewasa4601 🤣🤣
Amen, thank you for telling it. Nobody makes music like this no more....

How exciting, lucky man 👍

This album was on the charts for 736 straight weeks, it debuted at number 95 in 1973 and left the charts in 1988. This record, to my knowledge, has never been broken. So yeah, perhaps the best album of all times, at least in sales.
I think technically the worlds best selling album is Micheal Jackson's Thriller. But Certainly Dark Side of the Moon must be in the top 10.
Pink Floyd were just straight up musical geniuses. Their intros, lyrical word play, the different drops throughout the songs. 40 or 45 years later they are still moving people. Unreal

yes some of the best parts are the transition from one song to the next
You heard it here. Comfortably Numb, live at Pompeii.
In the car. At night. Empty highway. You’ll forget where you’re going.
Go watch the movie the wall . Smoke a little and sit back
Go listen to Steve ray Vaughn. Particularly " lenny little wing and tight rope
Putting Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd on another level...this young man gets it. He has it sorted correct.
You'll still be listening to this in 40 yrs, trust me. It IS that good
“Pink Floyd don’t have to say nothin” You got that right! Have y’all reacted to “The Great Gig in the Sky”yet? It will blow you away! 100% Guaranteed!
Yes! Great gig in the sky! Vocals done by their young backup singer. Amazing! She was actually sick the day they recorded her vocal tracks.
@@23gobears She wasn't their backup singer. She was just a contract studio singer. Alan Parsons (yes, THAT Alan Parsons) suggested using her.

Amazing Dark Side of the Moon was released damn near 50 years ago in 1973.
Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon finally left Billboard's album chart in July 1988, 736 weeks after it debuted on the weekly Top 200 listing.
Many albums are ranked by the number of weeks they are on the Billboard charts (5 or 10 weeks would be something to be proud of). Dark Side of the Moon was on Billboard for something like 15 YEARS, maybe more.
More, over 900 weeks.
Incredible
46 million albums sold, that means hundreds of million people have listened to this masterpiece.
Yeah friends trust us, do the whole album . One side per video. 2 vids each are around 20 mins.

I KNOW YOU NEED THIS!
David said he had no solo to the slow beat -wasn’t happy with anything, it was his idea to go upbeat for his part. Genius.
FYI the sound at the begining is an old-fashioned cash register.
These albums really enhance the experience when listened to start to finish

Money is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Also "Time" is even better than comfortably numb
Pink Floyd is one of the very few bands that appeals to almost everyone no matter what genre of music that they prefer.
Dark Side of the Moon is one of the top selling albums of all time…, period. it’s a masterpiece.
Two of my favorite bands are Pink & Floyd.
Listen from start to finish. The whole Album as it’s meant to be. I bought it the day it was released, in 1973 and will never stop listening to it, with the same excitement every time. Enjoy. 🎶❤️🎶
This track seems to have a bit of the early funk that was just starting to become a major musical force
This is David Gilmour singing. Roger Waters wrote the song, and his bass riff drives the song. Gilmour and the sax player took this song so high.
To get the full pink Floyd appreciation you have to listen to the albums all at once song after song. Every song ties into the next and other songs as well. Almost a movie when you listen to pink Floyd. Which they actually made a movie with the theme track being. Another brick in the wall album. They are untouched

Please please do the entire album in one sitting and break up into two show shows . This was meant to be heard in one listen . It’s. Story the wings all run together . Please do this it’s mandatory to be a PF fan 😉
Here's a band that will blow your mind as far as transitions and musicianship. YES: "Roundabout" "Starship Trooper" "Long Distance Runaround" "Heart Of The Sunrise" "And You And I" " Wondrous Stories" and when you think you're ready for a masterpiece..... "Close To The Edge"
Your right about pink floyd. Man their music is like nothing else it's more of an experience. They cracked the code
This is the best Pink Floyd for anyone who doesn't know Pink Floyd
Not the "best" Pink Floyd track but the best intro.... If you don't like this..... 🤔
And yes the change in time from 7/8 to 4/4 when David's solo starts just works brilliantly 😉
It changes for the chorus too
It's 7/4 in the first part and 4/4 for the solo.
7/4. :)
No one ever reacts to Roger Waters solo stuff, he was the main man in Pink Floyd and has some amazing tracks. Perfect Sense and Every Strangers Eyes are fantastic tunes.
Yo, Dark side of the moon is one of the best albums ever made. I remember the day it was released. My 11 years old sister and I (7) left school for a dental appointment. On passing through town there was a HUGE queue leading towards the record shop, this was in a town of 50k inhabitants in Scotland, UK. I remember the big prism filling the shop window, but as a 7 year old didn't know what was up. I realised a while later.
So good to see you listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. My life wouldn't have been the same without their music. Best wishes from Scotland.
Without realizing it, at the end of the song you just listened to, that organ or synth, was actually the beginning of the next track on the album. Pink Floyd's most popular albums are concept albums, meant to be listened from first to last track in order uninterrupted. Only by doing this will you appreciate just WHAT the song means to the album as a whole, kind of like a chapter in a book. After the first time, of course, you will know. The concept albums are Dark Side of the Moon 1973, Wish You Were Here 1975, Animals 1977 and The Wall 1979. Oh, and read the lyrics while listening, makes more sense that way.
I was born in 1960, and my older brother had me into music good and young, and I grew up listening to ALL those great bands. And in my opinion, Pink Floyd has always been just a notch ahead of the next best bands, in their production, live shows, lyrics, etc. Still feel the same way today. And David GIlmour has ALWAYS been my favourite guitarist.
And Comfortably Numb is on The Wall, not Dark Side of the Moon.
And if you watch the live version at Pulse, please, please watch the UNCUT version, since the one everybody is watching has over 1 minute of guitar finale CUT OUT. Reason? Gilmour heard a 'dodgy note or two' so edited it out. But in order to get out 1 second of maybe not perfect music, they had to cut 1 minute and 6 seconds of perfectly GOOD and not dodgy notes out as well. I like the UNCUT version, because that is how the people at the concert heard it, and I even think I know which note or two is supposedly 'dodgy', but, for an extra minute of great guitar, who the eff cares?
If you like instruments you need to check out Chicago and Blood Sweat And Tears both use them and both are 🔥
Two Pink Floyd musts, Great Gig In The Sky, and Comfortably Numb from their live Pulse concert.
Your smile.... that, that says it all. The pure joy of a musical experience!
A pleasure to watch your pleasure!
the word you're looking for that describes their transitions is, seamless.
But wait...there's more. The rest of the album is absolute 🔥. Great reaction. The smile on her face during the sax/guitar solos says it all!
Have never seen Pink Floyd live. Though I did get to see Roger Waters in concert sometime in the 90's. It was the first time playing songs from Pink Floyd since leaving the band. Second favorite concert after Page/Plant.
If you watch "The Dark Side of Oz" which is the Wizard of Oz movie with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" album replacing the sound of the movie, the cash register sounds at the beginning of "Money" happen right when the movie changes from black and white to color. The timing is perfect.
Comfortably Numb from The Wall album is another cool vibe. It's about his childhood and going on stage as Pink Floyd. Very cool song
Awesome. Make sure to do "Time" after this track. You two are great.
my fave band. this song isnt even in my top 50 floyd songs. cant go wrong with them. pick any floyd song, or try any from their pulse concert such as "sorrow" its epic. . could try the band Muse, new song "wont stand down" . one of the few bands out now who are any good 🙂great reaction guys.
Not even in your top 50...wow,madness...
Most peeps don't realize the timing changes in this song from 7/8 to 4/4 for the lead guitar, then back to 7/8 again. Definitely smoooooth :)
You can never go wrong listening to Pink Floyd.
I appreciate what you both do. I strongly encourage you to listen to this album start to finish in one sitting. The guitarist/singer Dave Gilmour once said that his biggest regret in have to be in it and record it is that he'll never be able to sit and listen to that album from start to finish for the first time.
Hey man I salute you. For your generation you showing that y'all can understand real music. And appreciate it. Once again brother good job y'all two.
You're absolutely right they don't have to say a word their music tells the story
The first 2 verses and the sax solo was in a 7/8 beat. When it came to the guitar solo, Dave Gilmour said he could not solo unless it was changed up to an 8/8. It switched back to a 7/8 for the last verse.
Having so much fun watching you guys light up to the music my dad introduced me to as a kid, great channel, satisfied subscriber! Pink Floyd and DSotM are my #1 as well.
Hi from Canada! My personal favourite song is Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Listen to the studio version first. Absolutely amazing! You won’t regret it! Cheers! ✌🏻🇨🇦
You should listen to Pink Floyd's song Sheep. There is a part where his voice transitions into a synthesizer seamlessly.
Its worth noting that the lyrics "new car caviaer and four star day dream gonna buy me a football team" appear in the video of pinks floyd film "the wall"
My generation had the best music period! Oh the memories!!
One of the greatest rock albums ever!
My Fav Pink Floyd album is "Animals" but this song always made me smiled
I don’t know if you noticed but the beginning of this song is the “poem” the teacher made fun of in Another Brick In The Wall.
Check out the live Version from Pulse Concert
Had a lot of good trips listening to pink floyd back in the day.
It's funny how this song sings about caviar and nice cars as weird sorts of compromises, whereas many songs today paint achieving those things as being a positive symbol of success. Waters wrote it thinking of money being, in many ways, too complicated to call 'success.' Essentially it's about the cost of having money.
If y’all like Pink Floyd this much, check out something from their album Animals. I recommend the song “Pigs” or “Dogs” to start with… though it’s a concept album so you really oughta do the whole thing in order for full effect.
Stay real, y’all. Love.
amazing band !! oh and her smile when the guitar solo start 🙌🏻 priceless
Boy oh boy. The rock and jazz and blues are blended so so soooo smoothly on this jam. I get a sax solo and a guitar solo?! Hit me!🔥😎
It was really nice seeing you both smile as you enjoyed it with it's many layers and flow.
Brother- I agree 100%, Led Zepp and Pink Floyd are the absolute top of the heap in my book too.
I remember when of all their albums came out, and we waited at the record stores for the shipments, to run home and put it on the turntable with speakers full blast. Every song’s a masterpiece. I’d say the only other band to rival them is the Allman Brother’s Band. I listened to this album when I was 18, after dropping pure LSD-25- whew!! a crazy, harrowing experience!
Great way to start off a weekend ! Thanks and enjoy yours.
Pink Floyd is a gift from the gods.
Pink Floyd should be the official music of all mankind.
I'm 55 years old and Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are neck and neck for me still.
Great song from one of the all time great albums. Start diving into The Beatles and we'll see about your list. Peace ☮️✌️💕
Good reaction, when you get a chance listen to "Shine your crazy diamond" and "Echoes" Live at Pompeii. Pink Floyd will definitely be your favorite band after listening to those two.
Dark Side of the Moon, should be played from the first song on side 1, thru the last song on side 2, to really get the whole album. The band even said that's the way they made the album to be played, pretty cool.
im 70 yrs old and pink floyd and led zep are my 2 favorite bands there isnt even a close third
For the love of all things Pink Floyd, I urge anyone interested to get a copy of the "Classic Albums" series documentary episode featuring "The Making of the Dark Side of the Moon". There are fragments of it on YT but I urge you to seek it out in it's entirety.DVD or whatever, you will learn so much about the makings of one of the most essential/crucial albums in musical history. I guarantee it! It's phenomenal.
Y'all need to check Pink Floyd's, "Animals"
Listen/react to these two first. This is how the vinyl was arranged.
Side one
1. Pigs on the Wing (Part One)
2. Dogs
Then listen/react - Pigs.
Then listen/react - Sheep and Pigs On the Wing(Part Two)
Side two
1. "Pigs (Three Different Ones)
2. "Sheep"
3. "Pigs on the Wing (Part Two)
You won't regret it. It goes into some fantastic, thought-provoking lyrics. I'm probably biased, though. Animals is my favorite Floyd album. I bought it when it was released and already into Dark Side.
Meddle is good too.
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin being in your top 5 tells me your on the right track in your rock journey my friend😂
For me them and the doors and Black Sabbath are the Mount Rushmore of classic rock
great reaction and appreciation for Floyd :D i think you'd love Echoes, Careful With That Axe Eugene, One Of These Days, to name 3 :)
Pink Floyd was a moderately successful UK band in 1972, when the band began working on 'Dark side of the moon'... When the album was released in 1973, Pink Floyd literally went from a faceless band to a legendary status by 1974... the album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, and MONEY came pouring into the band members' pockets. The sad part is that massive commercial success did not fix the growing problems within the band... in fact, they got worse.
David Gilmour remarked that Pink Floyd did not have a charismatic star(s) on stage like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, or The Who... their main guy was a bass player (Roger Waters) who glared at the audiences and could be difficult at times, so Pink Floyd stayed faceless for the most part... None of the band members were recognizable in public, which suited them fine.
Pink Floyd had never gotten over their founder Syd Barrett being ousted from the band in 1968, and that loss had haunted the band members ever since... Even as they sold millions of records, played arenas and stadiums in the 70's, they still felt his "ghost" ... People speculated that Pink Floyd reunited to play 1 more show in 2005 for charity because they had heard that Syd Barrett was not in good health, and they wanted to thank him one last time by honoring the band he had created... Syd Barrett reportedly passed away in 2006... Keyboardist Richard Wright succumbed to cancer in 2008.
David Gilmour (guitar & vocals) did the vocals on "Money" ... Roger Waters (bass) wrote the lyrics.
They had the most amazing stage effects that you didn't have to look at the band. They had you hypnotized with the music and visuals together.
Waters wrote the song not just the lyrics.
@@saraheart2804 Yes, that song. I was referring to the lyrics & vocals... not the music.
Wright, Gilmour & Mason did contribute music for 'Dark side of the moon'.
They do hypnotize. The amazing thing was, when you saw them live, you realized the music, while being the part that had to be present, the sine qua non, was just a part of the whole show. Everything was coordinated: lights, visuals, music, band.
