The effect on the guitar was a Talk Box - a tube runs from the effects box into his mouth, and his voice effects the shape of the guitar sound. So it sounds like a voice in the guitar. This effect was used on a few hits back in the 70s & 80s.
Boston
Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like I Do live. I think Frampton’s dad invented it.
Joe Walsh utilized it for some of his hits as well.
This effect goes way back. 1939 and Alvino Rey and his talking quitar.
@@bertmckinney8994 nice, just googled him
Bear in mind this was the 70's. Computers were not yet in use in any meaningful way. This was all recorded with tapes, stop watches, and human skill. Pink Floyd were both technical and musical visionaries
Loved watching the making of Dark side of the Moon, which shows how some of those effects were done.
@@martinleger5554 I have the Blu-ray of The Making Of The Dark Side Of The Moon . Needless to say, it is exceptional.
And "More cowbell, more cowbells!" keeping the time for the listeners. Remember Will Ferrell's cowbell bit? The cowbell is great!!!
Computers, I was taught slide rule in ‘74, sophomore year of high school 😂
@@toddmitchell7542 I learnt to use a slide rule a little bit but they had been phased out only a few years before my need for them.
You are about 7 years older than me would be my guess
Animals is, to me, Floyd at their best. Nestled in between their better known albums, it really showcases each member doing what they do best more than any other album, in my opinion. It's my favorite Floyd album, hands down.
Amen to that
Animals will always be special to me because it's the first Pink Floyd album I owned. My grandma bought it for me for my 13th birthday. I'd never experienced anything like it musically. Never have since.
I agree. This is definitely an album that you can play start to finish, over and over. And that works out because of the way pigs on the wing is split up
This album and Meddle have a special place in my heart
🎉
In concert, the Floyd used quadraphonic/surround sound in every venue they played so that the music was coming at you from all directions. That, and they employed the highest level audio equipment so that the music was crystal clear, even in larger arenas. Truly, there was no concert experience even close, especially back in the day.
At the intro of "Dogs" they sendt a growling pack of "sounddogs" through the audience, from behind, right and left. They were right at your back... - a lot of anxious movements in the crowd, then!
Can confirm regarding the sound… incredible
Amen. Saw them their last 3 tours and each was better than the last.
Totally agree on that sound system, they were 5 channel pioneers when I saw them in 75, 77, 87, & 94. The only band I ever saw with a similar set up was the original WHO who had a crystal clear quad set up. Floyd also had the best light show, lasers and special effects, including the flying pig at the old Boston Garden. Their level of artistry will never be matched.
Sheep is one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd tracks. Puts you through an emotional roller-coaster.
Sheep has always been my favorite track on this album, that groove is amazing
I've always wanted another minute or two of the jam at the end.
@@jamesticknor1338 Absolutely, remember listening to this is college, was my favorite track too before really looking at the lyrics. That took this song to another level.
It really "sounds" incredible, at the top of their works for me, and those final guitar riffs in a major key bring the album to a climax that is one of the best things i've heard in 49 years.
No question. The vocal into the synth and organ metamorphosis, the lord’s prayer, the ebullient and timely fadeout ending…It’s magic.
Animals (1977), Floyd's answer to Punk. One of the darkest prog rock albums ever made. Mean, angry, cynical, critical, dirty, industrial, depressing, beautiful, killer stuff, very reflective of the times. Gotta love that bass outro by Gilmour at the end of Pigs (3D0)!
Gilmore plays lead guitar, Roger Waters plays bass
Halfway through the song, David Gilmour uses a Heil talk box on the guitar solo to mimic the sound of pigs. This is the first use of a talk box by Pink Floyd. Gilmour also plays a fretless bass guitar, with a pick, doing two short, syncopated bass solos-one before the first verse, another before the third.@@andyb7963
@@andyb7963
Usually yes but on Pigs, Gilmour played both lead guitar and bass. Waters played rhythm guitar on that track.
@@andyb7963 Gilmour plays bass on this side of this particular album.
Notice on the beginning of Sheep, Waters never player bass like that.
Little trivia gig here. The word STONE echoing on side one, sinks into the vinyl and comes back on side 2 EXACTLY in the same spot timewise. Back in the SMOKING HIPPY HAY days, this was a spectacular realization! Lol
Yasl
There are bands. Then there’s Pink Floyd. Unique and incredible.
in their own category... AMAZING .. But I prefer the middle years, the early and late stuff is just not the same.
You're damn right brother, seen them twice & Roger doing The Wall in Berlin 1990. They aren't a band. They're a soundtrack for a way of life. Peace ✌️ 😎
Imagine growing up with bands like Pink Floyd and Genesis. This music was the soundtrack of my youth. I love watching you react to timeless masterpieces, just as I did in 1977. You are serious listeners. Enjoy your journey!
😁Right!?! Albums I did Homework to everyday! Weather it was at a friends house "Down Town" where I was bussed to school or doing Homework at home where my older Brother controlled the Record Player until he left for Basic Training. 🤭 Probably why I know every word to Cgynus Books 1&2, Tommy, Yellow Submarine, Songs in The Key of Life, What's Going On, Exile on Main Street & every Earth, Wind & Fire Album. 🤣🐰
I agree . I really Love.
Outstanding reaction guys, really enjoyed this one. Thank you both!
@@cityhonors1in the 70s I’d come home from school and listen to DSOM and WYWH ,Animals ,Meddle etc etc eyes closed laying down and then if I could get back down to earth I’d do a bit of homework .Couldn’t always manage it .
Animals is an album that improves with each hearing. it bears listening to very closely because it is mesmerizingly deep.
After DSOM and WYWH I was at first a little disappointed with Animals as I didn’t find as immediately satisfying as those two but the more I listened the better and deeper it got and it really is a masterpiece .I think I was at the time also influenced by music paper reviews which weren’t as glowing as they had been for the previous two albums .
Best reaction ever of this album. Hats off to you guys for riding through Floyd's catalogue. My all-time favorite band for sure. Saw them a coup times in the 80s and it was a trip.
and they're doing it right: entire album at a time. Not random songs in isolation.
Only Floyd can take a barnyard and make an album, one of my favorites ✌️
To be fair, they kinda took a book about a farm. 💙💛Peace/JT
@@johnthompson6374 your so right, I didn't know if very many people would understand or have read G.O. work.
As always, Great reaction. The worst thing about amazing albums such as "Animals" is never being able to hear it again for the first time, watching you guys doing it is the next best thing.
🎸I was born in 1963 and just turned 60 a few weeks back. I'm so grateful to have grown up listening to the most amazing music of all kinds. I so appreciate people who can play an instrument but most of all do it well combined by the creativity that lives in these souls. I spent many hours in my room or in the car or where ever music was blasting out of some speakers or headphones enthralled in my favorite artists. From the time my grandmother bringing home the first Beatles album to taking her to see Paul McCartney when she turned 75 music has always been my therapy, my joy and Pink Floyd has always been a part of my journey into sounds that strike something inside me. Well done gentlemen🎸✌️🎹
No doubt! I came a little later 69 but my dad got me into this right away!
Damn yer old...I was born in '64😄😄👍
I was born 1948
the people upstairs usually blast annoying music I was blasting this album the other day and they came down to ask me what I was playing LOL
😂🤯👏👏👏
Roger was pumped and angry when he wrote this lol
And has not calmed down since?
To be fair... Roger is always angry.
😂
Sheep's Prayer:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
We’re reliving our youth vicariously through you guys. Thank you
Animals is a stellar album, Pink Floyd at the peak of their powers.
The blending of lyrics, music and effects are sublime.
Beautifully bookended by Pigs on the Wing parts 1 & 2.
Dogs is chilled out supreme.
Pigs is agressive to the core.
Sheep is, well, Sheep.
The way the music replicates the animal sounds is masterful.
The synth howling of the dogs, the voicebox grunting of the pigs, and the electric notes of the sheep is brilliantly intertwined with the overall theme, scathing lyrics and stellar music.
No-one does it like Pink Floyd.
Cheers guys.
You are correct, Pink Floyd is the best band that ever was. They sing about the various aspects of the human condition-from the beautiful to the ugly. The lyrics are genius, the music is genius. It just does not get any better.
That Pink Floyd rabbit hole is Hella deep !!! It takes years to decipher their music !! Genius level !!!!✊🏾🤙🏾
The beatles ..Pink floyd
times and places around the world.
Those piggy noises!! Always scared me but unable to stop listening!! Talkbox
You have to listen to every Floyd album in its entirety. To just listen one song at a time doesn’t do they justice. They were musical geniuses. Great reaction.
This album was loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm. We all had to read that book in high school, back in the 70's. I don't know if it's still required reading, but it should be.
It still is but we still live In capitalist hell scape
I saw the tour that featured Animals in '77 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Any other concert I've been to, the ends of songs were greeted with yelling, screaming, thunderous applause. At the conclusion of songs at this concert, it was more like 80,000 stunned people. Almost like collective disbelief. Just so different than anything I'd seen before or since.
Jealous!!
I saw the same show- it was between my Jr and Sr year of HS. I really didn't know about them and went as my group of friends were going. Changed my life.
I saw that show in the old Boston Garden, David Gilmour was on fire that night and you can hear audio of it on You Tube.
Excellent! Animals is my favorite Floyd recording. My first time seeing them live was in Cincinnati, on the Animals tour! Indoors, in quadraphonic sound! The house was dark for 10 minutes while the sound of sheep softly bleeting lead into Sheep!
Now that you've heard the album. You need to watch Roger Waters live version of Pigs from Mexico City. It's incredible.
it's gilmour's guitar through a talkbox
Musically, Lyrically, Thematically, Technically; a masterpiece
Personally I prefer the 2018 remix. It really brings out Richard writes piano and brings the production up to standard with DSOTM and the wall
Oh man, I've been waiting for you guys to get to Side 2 - I'm taking this trip with you right here at my desk. Absolutely love how you get right into the music, no matter what you're listening to, but especially the genius that is Pink Floyd. I seem to say this every day, but you're making my morning once again. Much love from up here in Canada, today and every day! ☮
Oh, yes, a lot of what you're hearing is David Gilmour using what's called a talk box. Basically a tube that he holds in his mouth - the guitar sound from his amp is fed through the tube, allowing him to modulate and distort it with his mouth. Peter Frampton is probably the most famous user of the talk box, but Floyd uses it here for an absolute killer effect.
As for the next album to listen to, The Wall is the album that introduced me to Pink Floyd - my cool older neighbour gave it to me for my 12th birthday the year it came out and it absolutely blew my mind. Having said that, I would recommend listening to Meddle first, then come back to The Wall. Also, it's a great idea to watch the movie of The Wall, as it gives even more context to the themes that Roger explores on the album.
"Let it finish"-- don't hear any other Reactors say that! Most cut songs off in inappropriate places, kill the vibe. You guys "GET IT"!!! Don't cut off the story before it ends. Spoken by true Musicians. Some ppl hear w/2 ears...you dudes let it seep into your brain. COMPLETE LISTENERS.
Record companies would limit length of the songs so they would get radio air time. I have always wished they would rerelease these songs in the full studio version.
I did not appreciate growing up listening to the music of the 70's until way later in life. It was around us all the time back then. I am glad newer generations appreciate the music!
I don’t remember a lot from when I saw them, but, I do remember that about 15 minutes before the start of the show there was a real faint sound of birds mixed into the house music and over the next 15 minutes the house music faded as the birds got louder. Then once you realized the house music stopped the lights dropped and they eased into Shine On You Crazy Diamond. They, deviously, got you into the right mind set before even dropping a note. Magical.
When I was in Jr High, back in the 1970's. My dad bought me an 8-track player for my bedroom. This was my first tape!!!
I can't even express how great it is to watch you guys come on to Pink Floyd together. Top shelf music.
When you said "Imagine this at a show?" I don't have to imagine it, I saw them on the Animals tour in Madison Square Garden when they were promoting this album. It was one great concert!
THIS IS WHY ANIMALS IS PINK FLOYD'S IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THE GREATEST EVER ALBUM AND THEY ARE ALL MASTERPIECES
The way the guitar hits and punctuates in Sheep sounds like blades and slaughter to me. Pink Floyd is unequaled when it comes to conveying an idea or image in music, like in Shine On You Crazy Diamond the guitar sounds like a twinkling gem in several parts. Always beautiful and amazing. I love your reactions to this music because you're both more than casual listeners. People are hungry for good music and I feel like you guys will put all this great music you're hearing to good use. ✌🏽💜
Gilmour often plays the guitar while at the same time operating the talkbox with his voice ... in this case imitating pigs. Eversince the early 70ies he was a talkbox pioneer. Another talkbox hero of the same time is Peter Frampton.
My favorite Pink Floyd album. I was 15 when it came out and I remember having my dinky record player in my bedroom and when I’d get home from school playing this album on my father’s record console (you know,the one that’s a big piece of furniture with “real” speakers) in the living room before anybody got home.
A year late but just discovered the channel - I was 12 or 13 when my much older brother dumped all his OG vinyl on me when he decided to switch over to the (then) brand new medium of CDs. I suddenly had 50-60 original pressings of amazing bands inc. most of Floyd's discography. When all you heard on the radio was like Madonna etc and you sit in your room hearing THIS kind of thing at 13? Makes you a music fanatic. The beats. The chords. The time-sig switches. The freedom. I'm 55 now and love seeing others discover and get what I and countless others got. The writers in Floyd were great at vicious social commentary hidden in metaphors, and this whole album was like warfare on the social/political elite of the time. The same year this came out, punk had already broken through saying 'screw your word-play, say it like you mean it!', and this new angry visceral genre helped Pink Floyd not only produce "The Wall", but finally had them hobble into the musical old-folks home. PF were like Elvis/Beatles/Public Enemy et al- perfect placement in time with the right resources to do what needed be done. All this being said? You can maybe understand why us older folk can't quite get why music these days is almost anti-everything that has come before. Shouldn't we be in some sort of musical nirvana by this point? Then we get a slap on the head - dolla dolla bills y'all. Like it's always been - landlord can't cash in your pride.
I just wanted to start keeping track of my repeats by commenting each time I listen to an entire review for the second, third, forth, fifth and sixth times !!!!
Welcome to music from my childhood. I'm 60 with heart failure and other arthritic diseases and still I often burn a fatty while listening to this album as well as their other albums and the pain and ailments just drift away. Thank you for this amazing reaction
Love the dogs revival in the middle of sheep. Great reaction guys.
I think you guys would also dig The Alan Parsons Project album "I Robot". Its also a genius concept album you have to listen to all the way through...
Pink Floyd is on another level
Flyods concerts were amazing. When the played pigs from the back of the stadium above the crowd there would be a giant pig floating over the crowd. Totally amazing
I went to this concert in Cleveland at the staidam it was so sweet during the pig song they had a 100 foot pig 🐷 go across the stadium and the eyes were lite red and when they did the sheep 🐑 sound they were blowing peices of plastic up in the air and they would open up to sheep he’s blowing into some kind of air tube that’s hooked to his guitar 🎸 and his mic as he plays he blows into the plastic tube and makes that sound
Please do "The Wall" next. Meddle is great but you're going back in time to just before they found their incredible sound. The Wall continues the progression you are already on and shows them at their pinnacle. Just be forewarned it gets very very deep. You wondered about seeing them live with the correct system. Pink Floyd traveled with their own sound setup and presented the music in quadraphonic surround sound with speakers 360° around the stadium. So the sounds - the voices the effects the whispers the noises it all comes at you from all around you. Perfectionist that they are, they did not skimp on the sound. The songs are recreated just as they are on the albums. Saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago in '94 and can attest to that. Add the phenomenal light show, lasers and giant hovering pigs that accompany the music and we're talking out-of-body experience here guys... simply phenomenal.
But meddle has echoes. End of discussion
Meddle better
@@Milk88488 no, not by a mile. Anyway, it's a moot point now.
When I was in my late teens early 20’s, my friends and I would get together and listen to albums all night. That’s just what we did. Video games weren’t out yet.
Listen to The Wall next since you've been going chronologically through the '70s. What a decade for Pink Floyd and what a way to finish it!
Yes!!! They’re amazing songs but not necessarily ones you’d just add to a playlist. The flow and transitions makes the songs even better to me
It's best to be in the mood and listen to the album all the way through, once in a while
It’s been said already, but the effect is a talk box. It routes the sound of the guitar through a plastic hose which David Gilmour had in his mouth, and moved his mouth to change the shape of the sound, which is then picked up by a microphone. Peter Frampton kinda is the ambassador of the talk box…. It’s all over his stuff.
OK Bro´s, so we have found two more Floydians, welcome home, come in to the heart of the family, it´s a beautiful journey you are on.....Peace.
This is a year old so La and Che will probably never see this, but there is, on CZcams, a short clip from the old sitcom WKRP In Cincinnati, where Arthur Carlso, the general manager of WKRP, walks into the DJ room where it appears the DJ, Dr. Johnny Fever, was sleeping. Arthur is listening to the music being played, but he keeps hearing a dog barking and can't figure out where it's coming from. He wanders about the room, looking at various albums laying around, while unbeknownst to him, you see Fever's eyes following him. As Arthur is about to touch the albumthat was currently playing, Johnny suddenly says "Don't touch that." The dialog goes from there, (don't want to give it away) but it's Animals that is playing, specifically Dogs. I personally think it's one of the funniest scenes ever on television. But you'll only find it on CZcams, and the reason is that REAL music was played during some TV shows back then (WKRP, Ally McBeal, Northern Exposure) and there are copyright laws where the shows don't want to pay the royalties for running reruns, so you just don't see the shows. Also, if you buy the series on tape ('scuse me, I mean DvD) the music, usually great popular song from the day, will get take out and some old generic junk music in its place. Which is such a shame because all three shows were excellent.
SO Search "WKRP Pink Floyd" and you'll come up with the clip. SO Worth It.
David Gilmour is using a talkbox. It's a smalll speaker in an airtight container, connected to the guitar. It drives air through a tube that is mounted adjacent to the microphone. The tube was placed in his mouth and by varying the shape of his mouth he changes the sound as he plays the guitar. The best example I know of is Peter Frampton in his song "Do You Feel Like We Do?" from the Frampton Comes Alive album. He has a long guitar solo followed by a long talk box solo.
That fkn Talkbox is Evil!!!! I just imagine these huge mammoth bore hogs during that part. Love it
My favorite Floyd album. My take on it is that he breaks humanity up into three animal metaphors, dogs, pigs and sheep. His example of a dog, in the song Dogs, is a guy who is basically a workaholic business man, who gives his whole life to it, at the expense of everything else only to find out he's been being used the entire time and ends up "all alone, dead on the phone, dragged down by the stone." (The stone being all the bad blood he's created that "slowed and turned to stone.") Pigs and sheep are pretty self explanatory, but the bookend songs, "pigs on the wing parts 1 and 2 really put it all together." part 1 saying, if you `didn't` care what happens to me and I `didn't care` what happens to you, we would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain..." Part 2 is the opposite ":I `know` that you care and you `know` that I care, so I don't feel alone, or the weight of the stone. now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone. Cuz every fool knows a dog needs a home as shelter from Pigs on the wing." So, basically, it's a big old dark world out there, but if you can find someone to care about who cares about you, it's bearable.
The lyrics are really really dark, it's just that the music is so dynamic that it makes all these terrible phrases to not sound as doomed as they really are. It's my favorite album followed by DSOTM, The Wall, WYWH and Meddle.
In "a Gunners Dream" off The Final Cut Waters hits a long note that blends perfectly in to a sax note... It's Incredible..!
"Your possible Past" off that album is very good as well...!
I am only old enough to remember "The Final cut" coming out and being blown away by the Lyrics and opening the gatefold and reading Roger's words and feeling the desperation as I lit joint after joint until I felt emotionally exhausted after "Two sun's "I will never understand why people have written this Album off it will always Lyrically be the Album that gave me the thought to question things and set me off on my geopolitical journey, thank you Roger!
@@James-hd6ez People get burnt out when album after album is depressing political subject matter... Mostly hard core fans appreciate The Final Cut.
Do you know the 78 solo David Gilmour ~ "No Way Out Of Here", "Raise My Rent", "So Far Away", "I Cant Breathe Anymore" and "No Way".... Some really good stuff there..!
@@2869may well even if some of what you say is true, I was only saying what my memories and feelings of what that particular piece of work meant to me,I have heard Neil Young fans moaning about his political stuff and they have a right to like or dislike whatever he puts out on record cd etc,but only the artist can decide what he ( or she ) feels like recording at that time, John Lennon was said in an interview he was not the same person who recorded all the moptop hits and all the Beatles fans wanting ballads and love songs need to realise he was way past all that stuff and it was a matter of urgency and important to him to make a political statement and send out creative messages like the songs he put and the bed-ins etc, I like love songs,thought provoking and political songs all equally, thanks for your reply .
@@James-hd6ez You're right, John told Paul, 'people are tired of "Silly little love songs" then Paul wrote a #1 hit with that exact title.... lol
Check out that 78 solo Gilmour it's worth a listen..!
@@2869may And yes what you say might be true but I was referring to the fact that Lennon like Waters felt the need write about the bullshit unlike Macca who like Gilmour supports fascists at this point in time ,sorry but I won't be listening to Gilmour ,but thanks anyway.
This is their best work.
Flawless
Another great thing about Pink Floyd was how they knew, with the help of the producer(s), which one in the group should sing vocals on parts of their albums. I mean hell, I can't praise Pink Floyd enough.
He's using a guitar through the talk Box !
Another good song that uses this is Peter Frampton "Do You feel Like We Do"
Because, WE ARE THE SHEEP!
A song based on Orwell’s Animal Farm. The “animals” represent groups in society: the Dogs are the business men, the Pigs are the politicians, and the Sheep are the masses.
I hope you guys went back and listened again few more times, paying close attention to the lyrics. They are every bit as dark as reality.
Love listening to your reaction to music and Pink Floyd especially.
Musicians who realize how good these guys were. This album is phenomenal. 🔥
Pink Floyd is an experience
By the way I was like 16 when I seen this concert just amazing all of us on the field smoking centenary asid ever we’re rore714 the music they had going through all the speakers around the stadium like the beginning they started with jet fighters flying over then they put it thru the speaker it went round and round lick 4 times then they were standing there it was like it was yesterday fell free to ask anything there had tobe 80,000 people
Pink Floyd never disappoints. My favorite band hands down. They have a album no matter what kind of mood you're in
Really appreciate you guys doing complete sides. Floyd is definitely intended to be experienced this way.
There's so much studio wizardry going on (in all their albums). Yet they delivered live in spades.
I'm very excited for you guys to listen to Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother someday. So beautiful.
What a joy to see you two both destroyed completely at the sermon part on Sheep. You stopped bopping your heads and predicting the groove. Over come by the power of the song. A song so powerful and unpredictable that you almost freeze to the spot. That was great!
The quote from the Bible is what is normally said at your deathbed. In the song it coincides with the sheep being lead into the slaughterhouse to meet their death until they finally rise up. The album does not directly relate to Animal Farm by George Orwell but the themes are very similar as far as the animal roles and hierarchy
It is based on the Lords prayer. The beginning of it sounds and has the tempo of Our Father who art in heaven, but then it changes to a sheep's point of view.
Sorry not the Lords prayer but Psalms 23 The Lord is my Shepard.
We are waiting for ur Reaction for the Final cut album for PinkFloyd, it's a great journey as well.
They wanted them to release 3 minute songs for radio, this was there response
The "sermon" in the middle isn't just a psalm, it's Roger's interpretation of a psalm and is actually quite dark.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water"
He's always been a narcissist!
Rodger Waters had something to say and it was the truth and dark. David Gilmour made those words palatable and somehow made you feel it in your soul. Together that band is absolute MAGIC💕💕
Meddle. Do it like us old timers did, in order. Every new album drop was a long awaited eargasm.
You guys are spot on as usual. Listen to the whole thing with headphones!
I love seeing you guys digging the music I grew up on. It is timeless.
You know, there are so many channels that react to music. Most of them sit and 'react' to the music, but are reactionless!
You 2 guys really pay attention to what is being played! 🆒️😉
Let me paint the picture for you guys Sumer day Cleveland stadium (old stadium) World Series of Rock Pink Floyd Animals tour 1977 the stage set at open end of stadium looking out over lake Erie, opening song Sheep, music starts the song is swirling around the stadium with Floyd's quadraphonic system (surround sound today) the band jamming crowd getting into the concert fireworks explode from the stage, well what we thought were fireworks instead 100s of inflatable sheep start falling from the sky. Picture that in your head. One of the coolest effects I've ever seen at a concert. The Masters of sound and show.
Awesome... but seriously, side 1 and side 2 should have come back to back ;-) Now I'm excited to see you guys do The Wall... double album, four sides... think about doing them back to back... if ever it would be worth it, now would be the time... If you wait to do it, ok, but when you do it, do it straight through...
This is Floyd's most underrated and darkest work . Lyrically and musically, it is outstanding, of course but this album has an extra 'anger ' to it. I love the final track ' Sheep ' with its biblical send-ups.
Those of us who were hip enough to be grooving on these tunes when they came out are very much like you who are grooving on it long into the future. And just as there are those who do not get it now, there were certainly those who didn't get it back then. Like most music that was of a progressive nature, evolving new forms in creative and visionary ways, it was not made by beer drinkers nor appreciated so much by beer drinkers, as opposed to the other options available at the time. A common practice for this and similar albums was that of meditating on the album art, which was often surreal, with hidden images. Musically, I love Sheep the best, although the slaughterhouse sermon, and the marching down corridors of steel was even darker than much of the other Orwellianae. Great review.
One good thing about music, when it hits ya feel no pain. Hit me with music, hit me with music now. -- Bob Marley
Me: 🤣🤣🤣 I want "Sheeps can get got!" #AirplayBeats on a T-Shirt! ASAP! That Merch will sell itself! 😁🤑🐰
They say humans only use 70% of their brain
Pink Floyd tap’s into that 30% we don’t use and your never the same in the best way possible
Although, Pink Floyd is responsible for the death of many brain cells. ✌️🤪
The Talk Box. Peter Framton used it in Do You Fell Like I Do.
I cannot remember the first time that I heard this side. I was probably on my 6th bong hit by then. And I have heard this, unlike any other album, so many times that I know exactly what is coming and when it's coming, every single beat and nuance. But it never gets old. Each new listen brings a memory forward from some time in a distant past...like flashbacks, I realize I lived a great life, and I had an incredible soundtrack to it.
Bros I’ve been watching reactions for about 7yrs r better. Seen most of it all. I’m probably old enough to be (maybe) y’all’s parents lol. But I truly respect and find joy and adoration in the fact that 2 young brothers truly and I mean truly understand and gets this music. I love some of the newer stuff, but it’s just not the same. The industry stifles talent. Well that’s another story for another day but… I truly anticipate your reactions and enjoy them always. Stay true and know that older black men like me love wen our young youth discovers this music, with a true appreciation for it!!!!!!!
Thank you!! We appreciate that!! This means a lot to us.
Pink Floyd is church music for people who don't fit in to regular churches.... Lifts your spirit, teaches you you how to deal, makes you laugh and cry and find joy even in the darkness. Amen.
Great reaction once again. Just way too many clowns on You Tube reacting that have no idea what they're doing. Looking forward to you reacting to The Wall...that will blow your mind.
Simply a masterpiece
1997 was my first real experience listening to PF, it was the wish you were here album, I had no patience to start with, but then once I got over it, they became the best band ever to me, SUBSTANCE! a thing they have over every other band also Dr. Strange is always changing size, so you wont get bored.
Whitehouse is reference to Mary Whitehouse a lady in England who was upset about the edgy television that was appearing on BBC. So her and some other citizens created a group to protest. The 1st name they picked was something like Clean Up National Television Society. Then some pointed out what abbreviated it spelled. Theres a documentary about it. Many think it's about US Whitehorse but it isn't
Back in the day, I was 10 in 1972, radio stations and the disc jockeys had so much freedom to play what they liked. It was common to hear a whole side of Pink Floyd back then. Things have steadily gone downhill ever since
I love that you guys are loving this music so much. I've been listening to this album over 30years, and Sheep still gave me shivers! Favourite Pink Floyd album, with my favorite song Sheep... it just stirs something inside me every time. And the poetic lyricism.... just magic.
I love Sheep too, (may have to change that?) Story telling like Genesis. After the dogs are killed, no-one seems to pick up on the triumphal sound of the guitars at the end?
I've really enjoyed watching your videos on Steely Dan and Pink Floyd (my 2 favorite bands) Animals is my all time favorite album by anyone by a mile, the musicianship to me outdoes even Dark side and Wish you were here, although I do really love Have a cigar, my favourite Stelly Dan album is Royal Scam.
