Pink Floyd's music is written in sequence. It's written so you listen to an album from start to finish and it tells a story over the entirety of the songs. You can listen to the entire dark side of the moon album live at PULSE. When you listen to the full albums, it's an experience you will not get from any other artist! 🤟🤟
But keep in mind, this is mainly for their concept albums (Dark Side of the Moon thru The Wall), they have a total of 14 albums, only 4 were concept albums.
high hopes is a wonderful song with a solo that's, incredibly, even better than in comfortably numb imo. also, the whole of dark side of the moon is a must. an iconic album
🇨🇦🤟👍 My friend it's just a suggestion Your camera is too close to your face Zoom out if it's possible Keep the good work ✌ Try some Led zeppelin It's another rabbit hole Start with 🎵 "Stairway to heaven" 🎵 The original version New doors 🚪 will open Keep the good work ✌
Time is easily my favorite PF song. Wish You Were Here is amazing, absolutely, but it’s also been so commercialized and played-still gorgeous and next level. Listen to Dark Side of the Moon. There’s a reason it still holds the record for most consecutive weeks in the top ten
I was 12 years old in 1973 when I first heard 'Dark Side Of The Moon', through my brother who had only been back from fighting in Vietnam a short time. I will admit at that age I couldn't fully comprehend what I was hearing, but I remember absolutely loving the song 'Time'. A couple of years later at the age of 14 in 1975, the album 'Wish You Were Here' comes out, and again I hear the album because another family member is listening to it. Again, at age 14 I couldn't fully appreciate the songs 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', but I did really dig 'Welcome To The Machine', 'Have A Cigar', and 'Wish You Were Here'. A couple of years after that at the age of 16 in 1977, 'Animals' comes out. By now I was at an age where I could fully comprehend and appreciate Pink Floyd's music. My first impression of 'Animals' when it first came out, was that it sounded like an extension of the song(s) 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' in several parts of the album, but was definitely unique Pink Floyd and more of an immersion into the music, rather than just a listen. Then a couple of years later at the age of 18 in 1979, 'The Wall' comes out and the rest is history. I have been so blessed to have experienced Pink Floyd from such a young age, and to have it be while it was all happening for the first time. The thing is, is that I could say that about countless bands during the same time period. I recommend that you give the band ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) a listen one day soon, and I think you'll love what you hear. Again, all that incredible music from the same era going on at the same time. When it comes to Rock, and music in general, us Boomers were spoiled as all hell, and we knew it then, and we appreciated the hell out of it back then as well.
@@TheSmittenman because it is arguably the best concert ever for Pink Floyd fans. Imo Regarding Live performances, I have to agree with you on the whole, that studio versions do give the best technical result. However in the case of Pulse, that live performance was exceptional.
I smile when I watch someone new discover Floyd.I was a teenager in the late seventies and was able to see them live,amazing shows.When my folks would split I would put my pillow on the floor and grab my giant Jensen speakers,put them on either side of my head,roll a fatty and and just get lost.Amazing ride.Their albums were made to be played from beginning to end and thank you for not interrupting the songs.Enjoy!
singer and leadguitarist is one person, david gilmour. he´s the heart of the band, the music´s soul. the lyrics are by bassist roger waters, he was the brain of the band.
Thank you! It's so great to see another fan agrees with me on this. The ONLY issue I have is you left out Richard Wright. He and Gilmour were the musicians of the band. Most of the music from Wish You Were Here and earlier was from Rick, especially Dark Side of the Moon.
☝️ A suggestion - love your videos. Maybe do an *album reaction* livestream, and listen to a whole album (as so many are suggesting) cover to cover. Pause after each song to give us your reaction, and then start it again for the next. We’d love to see your journey... Advertise it in advance and we’ll be there to watch you fall in love just like we did.
Going down to Pink Floydsville? Mind if I tag along mate? Its funny, in the Numb video's you envied us for having had such great music growing up to...nah, its the other way around my friend, nothing but nothing beats a voyage of discovery, we envy you, trust me...so, Numb, Pulse, greatest live guitar solo ever...the second greatest live guitar solo ever, High Hopes, at Pulse... but trust me when I write this, the studio version is amazing, the Pulse version sends you soaring t another world, but the AOL session (link below) will bring your soul to its knee's and cradle itself to peace...promise me you'll watch it whichever version you choose to view, and thank me another time...so, a very quick guide to Pink Floyd...'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals' and then 'the Wall', the albums in that order, what preceded and followed these four albums are great, but these four albums, oh my, you lucky lucky lad, the galaxy awaits you...Dave Gilmour is a God, the greatest guitarist ever (he's the lead singer for Numb and Wish you were here...Roger Waters the creative genius that is Pink Floyd, his poetry will live forever (people call them lyrics, how bizarre), Rick Wright, beloved amongst all Floyd fans, the glue for Waters and Gilmour for so long, oh his imagination, the sound effects...then Nick Mason, the absolute heart beat in the background...and then there's Syd, you learn about Syd, he was there at the beginning, but life can be cruel and he is the inspiration behind the great masterpieces....and finally, there is 'Echoes' from the album 'Meddle', and thats the Big Bang Theory, and you'll finally understand why they are the greatest band of all time....enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o3O_Wi9UDfY.html
Simplest thing I can say on you beginning your introduction to Pink Floyd. One, while there may be songs you like more than others, Pink Floyd simply doesn't put out bad songs. Two, "Dark Side of The Moon" and "The Wall" are full concept albums. Before you watch the movie of The Wall, you must sit and listen to the album beginning to end. Absorb it and let yourself be absorbed into it. The movie is good, but the context of the movie may not be the context you feel. "Dark Side of The Moon" and "The Wall" will take you places within yourself, show you things you didn't expect to see about yourself. Then you can watch the movie of the Wall and see it from another direction there as well. You've got a long way to go, son. Pink Floyd, Rush, Heart, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Fleetwood Mac... You've got a long way to go, lad and I envy you the trip, experiencing them for the first time.
Dude, you really need to have the lyrics drawn up when reacting to Pink Floyd...they are really deep and meaningful. Great reaction as usual. You really should do yourself a HUGE favour and react to The Dark Side Of The Moon album. Do two video's...side A and side B. Now that will change your life!
I have been down the rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd since the 70s . Once you go down there's no going back . Most guitarists plug their guitar into the amp David gilmour plugs his soul in . Dark Side of The Moon album has to be listened in its entirety to fully understand the story that links one song to the next . It will stay with you for ever as it has with me since 1973 . Its the story of life itself .
Do "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" from the same album. It is rather long, but there's no Floyd song, you can ever go wrong.... with! 😁👍 It has 9 parts, half at the beginning and about half at the end of the album. So you may need to do two videos on it. Well worth it!! ✌️😎
Music like this was able to be made in the 70s because real musicians were playing it :) And E.L.O. were also an amazing band, with the great Jeff Lynne, just check out the Traveling Wilburys, with the best collection of muscians ever :)
David Gilmour does most of the singing for Floyd but the bass player Roger Waters was writing most of the lyrics at this point. Waters and Gilmour have not gotten along for many years now. So the last few albums were written and performed without Waters. Now that Richard Wright (keyboards) has passed away there is a lot of material that David will not perform without him. Wright was key along with David's voice to creating the sound that is Floyd. The live vids of Floyd on youtube are simply amazing too. The light shows etc are the best PERIOD !!!
Time followed by Great Gig in the Sky will either blow you away or bring a tear to your eye. One or the other other or maybe even both. BTW the bass player Roger Waters is the songwriter.
Highly recommended: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) then (Parts VI - IX). (Studio, studio, studio) Also "Dogs" w/lyrics. All three are long tracks but worth the listen. Phenomenal.
Just a suggestion, but it might be better to just skip the studio versions of Pink Floyd songs, Pink Floyd are one of the few bands that sound better live. Whether it's from Pulse or Delicate sound of thunder or the classic Live at Pompeii, they've always prided themselves on being the band that people went to to hear the music not see the band.
Yes, Yes, Yes. to everything you said. I have seen PF LIVE 4 times. Met the band, have an autographed album seen the PULSE TOUR. Everyone was Blown Away.... I remember saying.. "What the phuck did we just witness"
Ha ha it is refreashing to see a young man enjoying one of the Greatest Bands ever. They have so many songs. Your so Right there is no one that emulates this style. Pink Floyd will get you thinking about life in meaninful ways!
if i may. hope this helps your understanding of pink floyd. this song is about sid berret. founding member of the band. front man . sid created the floyd sound in the 60's. sid fried his brain on heavy acid trips. he dropped a lot of it. he went zombie before dark of the moon. david gillmore took sids place. david was friends of all the band before. band wrote "wish you were here" in sadness of the loss of sid could not function any more. sid walked into the recording of this song. band did not know it was sid. one member said. that is sid. band cried. no words spoken. sid left. glad you like pink floyd :>
Pink Floyd grew more in 4 years than any musician grows in a lifetime. Piper at the gates of dawn to Dark side of the moon in 4 years. Had to be alien intervention.
Echoes from the middle album,time from dark side of the moon,dogs from animals,high Hope's, shine on you crazy diamond,comming back to life,marooned,I could go on enough said,there so many more Google their songs you will be blown away.
They didn't do bad songs. You had to wait for them to release albums but it was always worth it. Mostly it was Roger Waters (bass) who wrote the lyrics, They all wrote the music but David Gilmour (Guitar) was probably the biggest force in the musicality although Richard Wright (Keys) was very influential on the jazzier chords and the layers of sound that washed the background. All the lyrics by Waters are amazing. You have so much to look forward to, I'm jealous of your future path down this journey.
Love your smile listening to PF incredible music, great reaction, you should react to Sorrow from Pulse concert. Most of us are fans from the early years but still get excited playing Pink Floyd songs
Pink Floyd didn't write songs, they wrote stories. Their stories were best consumed by listening to the whole album in sequence because more than any of their contemporaries, Pink Floyd wrote concept albums. Like movies of sound, and the songs are just scenes of a whole. Do it on camera or not, but you owe it to yourself to do it eventually. Cheers!
Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Time, Dogs, Money, Breathe, The Great Gig in the Sky. I've been a Pink Floyd fan since the 70s and seen them live multiple times. Those are a good set of songs to start with, plus what everyone else said too... :)
"High Hopes" is an amazing song too. Especially with the context that it's the final song on the final album the band put out before splitting up. They named that album "The Division Bell". They came back to make one more album in 2014, but High Hopes is basically their send off song.
Set aside a bit of time. Put on your headphones. Turn down the lights. Put on Dark Side of the Moon. That album stayed in the Billboard album charts from 1973 to 1988; 736 consecutive weeks. As of 2020 it has appeared on Billboard's Top 200 Chart a total of 750 weeks!
No, Waters wrote this to himself (seen many interviews where he says this). Shine on You Crazy Diamond is about Syd. If you listen to the lyrics of SOYCD you will understand.
Hey Bud!!! "Daytona Snoop" here again....... I commented on your Pulse reaction, .... I'm here for ya if you need Questions Answered about Pink Floyd!!! I dedicate this song to my late Dad!!!
Yo! I will support any Suns Fan. Pink Floyd is AMAZING. The Album THE Wall you have to check out. You may want to check out Pink Floyd On The Turning Away
Classic Floyd....earthy and bluesy...yet trippy and spacey. Intimate lyrics placed in a grand musical landscape. As mezmerizing now as then. The combination never gets old.
Hi..i agree..how much better can it be thsn this song..absolutly love it..still, would.like you to try. Sabaton..En livstid i krig ( A lifetime of war ) Great Tour 2020 live Gothenburg ..my hometown..you get nearly the ultimate singalong experience.
You're my absolute favorite! Keep it up! I would love to see you react to this at Pulse, and also High Hopes, which will blow yerr freaking mind!! So much love to you, brother🥰
How can this type of music be 10 times better? Pushing a button to have a song generated isn't as creative. Subbed! Hoping you throw in some Doors 🎧 💓 🎶
I wish I was your age again and just finding Pink Floyd. There #3 on my list. Led Zeppelin and the Beatles beat them. This list probably changes several times a day.
Play Dark Side of the Moon songs in order at least? Smart thing, listen to the whole album with camera on and cut that video into pieces for reaction(s). That album was on the top 10 list for 15 years, it's 48 years old and ranks 193 in sales. And when you really like that, hehehe, listen to Echoes which is one side of the Meddle album and try not to freak. The Pink Floyd at Pompeii movie has excellent tracks played in an acoustically perfect ancient theater. That's the city that Mt. Vesuvius buried in ash and lava in year 79AD. Warning: This Shit WILL Change Your Life.
Echoes, Shine on you crazy diamond, hey you, coming back to life, dogs, mother, us and them.... Lol you got some more to go. Cool more people are becoming fans of the Floyd. Peace ✌🏼
You are right young man this music is 50 years old. In 50 years from now nobody will be listening to anything that's coming out now. They will be listening to music that's 100 years old. Whether it be pink floyd, zeppelin, clapton, steve winwood, allman brothers, yes, aerosmith, emerson lake and palmer or whoever. This music will never die or fade away.
Welcome to the machine, Careful with that axe Eugene live at Pompeii 1972, the great gig in the sky, Dogs, remember a day, keep talking Pulse, astronomy domine... There are too many songs of Pink Floyd that you can react to and they are all masterpieces. I'm talking about hours of pure musical experience and not even a single millisecond wasted. Pink Floyd never reached perfection. Perfection was always trying to reach Pink Floyd.
A lot of Pink Floyd albums are meant to be listened from start to finish (but the disc flip pause). And all songs are blend together to make a big long journey... When you listen to a Pink Floyd album this way, you have a real mental journey, you trip without drug, they transport your "soul" in places you couldn't image... Of course you need to discover the "hit tracks", but make yourself a real man, listening to the whole album "religiously" just for you once you have overviewed the tracks. You can't imagine the differences. A full range of new dimensions will appears. It brings alternate state of consciousness. Life changing experience... This intense experience is real for 4 albums, Dark Side, Wish you were Here, Animals, The Wall... After that it's less impressive, less experimental, less "trippy". And before that it's really good already but not as polished as those ones.
