FIRST TIME HEARING Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5 reaction 

We appreciate you guys’ criticism on this reaction having way to many pauses, going forward with Pink Floyd reactions in the future we’ll be sure to listen to the songs all the way through without interruption and then we’ll provide our thoughts afterwards, so that we’re able to experience the songs as intended.

Never pause during a guitar solo, especially a Gilmour solo!

Pink Floyd should be heard without watching a video.

Youll struggle if you pause so much as you lose the flow.

Pink Floyd were true masters of live performances. From their 1994 PULSE CONCERT, check out Comfortably Numb live.

Welcome to the Pink Floyd experience. These guys never fail to take you on a journey and will change you.

Holy sh!t! Let it play and absorb it. It is an official video! Your commentary and fear of copyright is killing the experience, and reaction.....

You only listened to Parts 1 through 5. On side 2 of the album you will find parts 6 through 9. The whole album is about absence most notable is the absence of one of the band's founding members Roger "Syd" Barrett. He left the group (actually the group left him) early in 1968. His drug use and mental illness caused the split. Just about all their music after that was influenced by Syd. This album is a tribute to him and the lyrics of this song in particular apply to him. In the album Syd is the diamond. Shine You Diamond. He lived out his life as a recluse in Cambridge where he died in 2006 at 60 years of age. The Floyd is a very deep well from which there is much to draw. I envy your journey.

Loved your reaction, guys! Sure, you paused a lot, but people need to realize that this is the first time you have heard Pink Floyd. Process it the way you like. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for over 40 years and I still listen daily. Their catalog is amazing and you have just scratched the surface. It's the best rabbit hole you can go down musically. Please keep it up!

Hi, I read shine on your... For me is important don´t interupt the song with comments, Pink Floyd create ambients, and I believe in necessary listen without interruption. Is my opinion! Te best fr you

The guys in Pink Floyd used to be architecture students, and this piece of music has a sense of space like corridors and vast rooms stretching away before you. Nothing is rushed, and you are made to wait until the moment is right for the next phase.

This is the story of original founder and lead singer Syd Barrett. He unfortunately suffered from mental illness and compounded it with heavy use of acid. Syd left the band in 1970....this album was released in 75...while recording this song Syd showed up at the studio and the band mates didn't recognize him. David Gilmore the guitar player made sure Syd was financially taken care of for the rest of his life. These guys are amazing artists....the music as well as their lyrics are mind blowing and second to none!!

Lay down in a darkened room and listen again. Pink Floyd music is to be absorbed with no distractions.

The PF album with the triangle and coloured light passing through - Dark side of the Moon ... is worth a listen with headphones, on vinyl / hifi , darkened room, comfy chair. it's a moment you'll never forget ... maybe let the song flow more

Ouch! You don’t start and stop Pink Floyd like that. You had to miss most of the song.

This animation along with many others was played on a giant circular screen behind the band during their 1977 In the flesh tour. The atmosphere was so intense with these animations going on crazy lights everywhere sounds like you couldn't believe because Pink Floyd put speakers behind you on both sides of you on the stage and above you and left it feel like you were inside a giant pair of headphones!!! So the sound was absolutely surround sound and perfect! And as far as an intense atmosphere I saw at least a dozen people get hauled out by either paramedics or security because they were freaking out!! I've seen recent concerts and even with today's standards & technology that concert in 1977 was ahead of it's time!! You guys should check out "Comfortably Numb" from their 1994 Pulse concert!! That way you'll see a concert done in 94 that would beat most concerts in today's standards and tech!!! Or even Shine On You Crazy Diamond from that same 94 Pulse concert tour! Any song during that concert is at least equivalent to any other bands Grand finale!

Pink Floyd picks us up and takes us into another dimension. Pause too much and you crash the ship. NEVER pause a David Gilmour solo. You will leave people stranded in another galaxy.

video is distracting,,,better to just listen !

I've always found this piece to be very moving. It was wonderful to see both of you so engaged in this music, and to hear your thoughts and impressions.

This isn't just a one-off song either, 22:10 Pink Floyd is going to take you on a journey with just about any song you listen to with them! You should try Welcome To The Machine from the same album! Or maybe even the second half of this song? Try "Us and Them" or "Time" from their Dark Side of the Moon album!!! Every one of those songs will take you somewhere and you'll probably forget you're doing a reaction again!

Please, don't stop the music during a Gilmour guitar solo, it's sacrilege. Enjoy your Floyd trip and react to their tons of masterpieces. Cheers

If you don't know how to kill a song, just watch that video !! They don't have any respect for music but love listening themselves so much!

Love Pink Floyd

Check out "Comfortably Numb" live from the Pulse tour, you should love it.

This song is for. Syd Barrett en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syd_Barrett

You don't listen to Pink Floyd, you _experience_ it.

Floyd meant its fans to listen to their whole lps in one listen, so the moods multiply well beyond what you experienced here... This song is mainly about the links between genius&madness, as a beloved founding member of the group (SydBarrett) developed a serious mental disorder and was eventually (yrs before this album came out) dropped from the band. And, yes, we tripped heavy when digging Floyd's music, including when I saw the WishYouWereHere tour in 1974. Good times!

I think I'm going to enjoy your Pink Floyd journey. Dark side of the moon and Animals are albums for the ages. I seriously wish I could go back in time and listen to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time again. Maybe I'll be able to do it vicariously through both of you.

Beautiful music, distracting video.

Welcome to Pink Floyd!! They are legitimately one of the best bands that's ever been. Their music is highly emotional and cerebral and they incorporate many different styles in the music, such as hard rock, funk, blues, psychedelia, and folk, often in one song. They've also influenced every genre of music that's come after them. I very much hope you continue with Pink Floyd, at the very least check out the rest of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. 🌈💗

"Echoes Live in Pompei" is a must, as everything by PF 😀It is a deep enjoyable hole you guys found. Enjoy!

You have listened to just 5 parts of the full composition. There is also such great 'Parts 6-9' track.

Back in the day, before we had mobile phones or the internet we listened to whole albums without a pause. It’s hard to do that now. Floyd wrote the book on journeys. You’ll freak if you listen to Time and Great Gig in the Sky from the epic Dark Side of the Moon album

Wow.... 10 seconds of music, 3 minutes if talking.... "That's a bold strategy, Cotton!"

The author of the animation is Gerald Scarfe that also made animations for Pink Floyd: The Wall movie and created the concept of art for Disney's Hercules cartoon.

I was lucky enough to be in the Pink Floyd the Wall movie. Our school was part of "Another Brick in the Wall" Number1 single. My classmates are in the video. So cool. So funny enough I got hooked into Pink Floyd after my brief appearance in the movie - haha. One of the best bands ever to have existed.

You're going to enjoy this ride down the PF rabbit hole. Enjoy the trip... Literally ✌️

Don't forget, these guys were only in their early to mid twenties!!😁🇬🇧

Shine on Syd, wherever you are.

Intro is to get your soul ready for a Mind blowing experience.

you cant go wrong with ANY Pink Floyd song really.

No video needed. This video was made decades after the song was released. The video is in your mind.

Pink Floyd...pura belleza musical...MAESTROS.

¡Como podéis parar tantas veces ????????????????????????

I can listen to the song anytime. Have for decades. But if you keep interrupting Pink Floyd and especially a David Gilmour solo you will feel the repercussions from many. I realize it's a reaction Channel, but... I'm only here because it was a RU-vid suggestion and it said Pink Floyd. And you would likly get many because of that. Or you could drive many away.

You only need to stop it 2 or3 times and I promise you they will not block it.

PF are the music to our lives from young to old, timeless. having seen them play live they were as good live as their albums are. same with Genesis. its music that has inspired the world and musicians. definitely good to listen to their catalogue old and new all are worthy in their own way. hearing you say you forgot where you were for a moment is what their music does to you, it takes you away into your imagination and memories and brings you back again even those of us who don't need drugs for it.

The video actually dilutes the message of the audio.

The “Crazy Diamond” was their former bandmate, Syd, who was going through rough times.

I don't think you stopped the song enough times. How do you understand the song? Understand the vibe?

Channel: "Sort of a long intro" Pink Floyd Fan Illidan: "You are not prepared."

When you know the back story to the track, Syd was a victim of the times and spent the rest of his life a shadow.

Don’t listen to the comments, react how ever you want to react, don’t let people dictate how you should respond to a song. And don’t let these people put you off Pink Floyd, could tell you appreciated it musically

Pink Floyd was the epitome of Progressive Rock. Like The Beatles, they are in a liege of their own. All their albums are a trip that takes you on an amazing journey in your mind, you just have to close your eyes and drift, it's not just good music it's a whole experience.

Immediate subscriber here! Looking forward to following your Pink Floyd journey. You only get to experience them for the first time once! Next best thing is watching others experience the magic.

When you learn the meaning of this song and rewatch the video you'll appreciate this even more if that's possible.

ECHOES Live in Pompeii, 1971/72

Pink Floyd are best live. Try "comfortably numb" live pulse concert. You'll love it.

Don't. Stop. This song. A thousand times. It was created to be listened to in its entirety, and when you stop it every time you have a thought, you miss out on so much of that creativity.

The album begs to be heard in its entirety

Listening to Pink Floyd is like dining on a gourmet meal, savour and digest, it's not a McDonald's meal deal, this is the real deal, something to be savoured, digested and enjoyed, don't rush it just enjoy!!😁🇬🇧

Discovery is awesome! You younger folks have an unbelievable trip ahead.

That album with the triangular prism that a ray of light passes through and breaks up into a rainbow is The Dark Side Of the Moon and the most iconic song from it is Time.

You don't listen to Pink Floyd , You experience them , Also the reason why they are truly the best is because they actually don't have a bad song, Each one is it's own vibe that paints a picture, You gotta dive into their work early and the later stuff. :)

This was the first PF track I ever heard back in the mid 1970s at school. I love it. I can see I don't really need to comment on the number of interruptions, but, yes, too many, and never interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo. I hope you haven't turned off the millions of PF fans that might otherwise have subscribed.

This song was a tribute to former band member syd Barrett who suffered from mental health problems and the best way to listen to it for me anyway is lay on the bed lights out and chill 👍🏻

Amigos,el video no hay que cortarlo tanto solamente de vez en cuanto.Los comentarios son para el final.

Pink Floyd Laser Shows at the planetarium were some of my favorite memories.

When you get time read the lyrics and figure out what they were wanting and why. Pink Floyd always has a meaning or hidden message.

Yes you stopped often but it's great that you are listening to music that you are probably very unfamiliar with. Keep up the good work, lots of love from an old guy in Texas!

Ahoy, you have to watch this at the 'PULSE' concert 1994, all the songs are masterpieces

Between the very distracting video and the many pauses, I'm afraid this was not your best introduction to this Floyd masterpiece. Should have done studio version.

To get the true experience...listen 1st...then discuss after this grand composition of excellence!

I really enjoyed your reaction guys! This was a great introduction to PF and I hope you continue to react to them because you've literally opened the Pandora's box on a journey you won't forget.

Please show the song some Godamned respect! This is about a real person!

Masterpiece

No radio version. They actually played this in the radio

welcome to pinkfloyd world nice reaction guys

This intro gets a lot of appropriate comparisons to classical music, and is enjoyed by many classical reactors and composers, for obvious reasons.

I think you guys would really appreciate Pink Floyd Pulse Live

If this was your first Pink Floyd, you have to listen to The Dark Side of the Moon.

Gotta check this song out Live from the Pulse concert! The whole gig is amazing too, They were known for their stage shows.

With all the way too many pauses, and all the chat about the video. I don’t think you heard the music at all. Next time you react to Pink Floyd you should really listen to the music, its some of the best music ever written.

Less talk. Enjoy! Best band EVER!!!

He: bla bla bla...She: yeeah....yeah

You only played half the song??????? Also....loose the chat group and your pausing too much for pink floyd.

Love you guys. For a bit of background, this is about founding band member Syd Barrett who had been dropped from the band suffering severe mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse. Syd was dearly loved and missed, a really good looking talented guy. During recording, a fat bald guy, with shaved off eyebrows walked into the studio. It took several minutes before someone realised it was their friend Syd!

really enjoyed your reaction and I know all the Floyd heads are giving out about interruptions but what I want to say is that ye had a lot thrown at you on a first listen. but the thing with this music is that it's more than a listen its an experience that takes us outside of ourselves. This is some michellan star shit when we've been used to eating McDonald's

Hope that this song inspires you to make your own music. Happy to see that you both appreciated the complexity and feeling that their music always conveys. So much more to PK to discover you won't be disappointed.

This was their opener of live pulse concert in 1994. The whole concert is off the chart, pick any song- they have more upbeat and ripping guitar. Truly every one on stage is master of their craft. The video does not do this song justice it’s a distraction for first timers. But great reaction I loved it.

il y a bien trop d'interruptions pour pouvoir reellement s'impregner de ce chef d'oeuvre

Theres no official music video in that time there was no music videos.

OMG, I know it's a reaction video, nobody pauses Pink Floyd for sure watch Comfortably Numb Pulse concert remastered, watch the the show, it's the best live show ever, you paid to much attention to the video Pulse concert

Y'all need to react to the complete song

I'm so very happy for you both that you have discovered Floyd. 🙏 Your insights as musicians throughout this vid were in my opinion cock on. I think that if you had prior understanding of the context of that piece your experience may have been improved a bit. I hope that you both enjoy your lufe long journey alongside music. Top vid. Blessings.

FYI....every sound is created by David with his guitar, or Richard Wright on one of his keyboards - there are no strings or wind instruments of any sort except the incredible sax solos by Dick Parry. This album was released in 1975 - well before most computer assistance - everything is analog and tape.

Don't pause so much let it flow and you should check out Echoes pt1 and pt2 Live at Pompeii 1972 it won't disappoint you both

Now you need to check out classic "YES" songs. "And You and " is a great first pick!

So much to dig in...

To those commentiing - The Reaction channels can get into trouble with You Tube if the clips NOT paused.
