I was asked to listen to Pink Floyd - Time (Reaction!!) SHEESH 

His fans have the best comments. You guys are dope

If you haven't seen it, then Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part1) Live at Pompeii 1972 is a MUST!

bro he’s the only guitarist that gives me goose bumps when he solos

​@@markjohnson3550 To me as well, it makes eyes water

Gilmour is one of the greatest and i still think he's underrated. No one makes those strings sing quite like him.

if he does, we might lose him! lol

Truth!

Thisss

this actually

If only he still smoked 🌳

I think its more about the monotony of existence regardless of what you do,just an idea

@@robertjsmith I agree about the "monotony of existence" in the song, but I think it's in relation to having "missed the starting gun," and never gotten into anything truly meaningful in life- "Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines." And the "hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" is a clear reference to Thoreau's "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation" observation. Just my two cents.

@@paxonearth peoples lives can only play out,the way they have played out,saying i should made better choices,(we don't have free will)

@@robertjsmith If freewill is ultimately an illusion, and it might be, then we should embrace the illusion and then GET AFTER IT in life. After the fact we can look back and say "I had no freewill to do anything other than to be successful."

Same. I remember hearing the lyrics as a teenager and thinking it would never apply to me.

Underrated comment here, I started listening to Floyd in the 90’s (when I was like 12). This is one of my all time favorite songs but as I age I keep listening and it holds a completely different meaning (I see it from new perspectives) as I age.

Very true statement.

True

Same! I burst into tears one day because I fully realized what the song was about. Instead of my 13 year old self just thinking it's clever.

aint that the truth... remember listening to this as a small kid in the 70s.. playing on the floor...

I did so @ San Francisco Planetarium. It was epic. I saw Pink Floyd my first time @ the Cow Palace. That was epic too.

Gives me chills every time!

Great Gig in the Sky is about the stages of grief. Anyone who has been deeply affected by loss completely understands how the vocals portray that. Masterpiece of an album.

​@@DarthRaider520100% correct. I've seen Pink Floyd twice (both times without Roger), and each time it took 3 vocalists to duplicate the original solo by Clare Torry. It still came up a little short. Clare had such an incredible vocal range, and that solo was all spur of the moment improvisation. She sang it one time in the studio and it was decided that there wasn't any need to try and make it better. Pure perfection and it still gives me goosebumps.

@charlesm9929 I cry every time I hear this album. It speaks to the human heart. Time rocks me probably the most. Life is fleeting and we're all just wasting away.

Great track as well. Good call. 🙏🏽❤

@@DarthRaider520 It is really about more than greif. It is about dealing with your own mortality. The "singer" is dying and resisting the idea of being past away but reluctantly accepts the reality of death.

AMEN!!!

Gilmour 😅

I didn't realize this music was that old (no offense). It's amazing how timeless music is it flys burns through decades.

Same

@@poloreacts27 No offense taken, my friend.

Me too! Poster on wall.

@@rebeccamead4557 I know exactly what you are saying!

I've frittered way too many hours on reaction videos.

Everyone "fritters away" every minute. It's the human experience. That's what this song is about.

David has so many live videos, you should see them all 🤘

Awww I was blessed to see them twice, I was born in Philadelphia & raised in New Jersey very close to the venue's. I'm sorry you couldn't go, but there's so much content to watch online, just turn up the volume. Blessings ❤😊❤

Go watch the Australian Pink Floyd, they are as near as you can get to the original ! really.

I saw them in DC for the Division Bell. Epic

I have it set as a future project to do a full album review but this is after I've listened to the album at least 10x or so in full.

@@poloreacts27 sick

​@@poloreacts27 get some smokeables on the side

AMEN!!!

Just make sure you have the best headphones available. You need to have them to get the absolute most out of the album. There are so many layers and you need the fidelity that a good set can give you. Bose are my preferred ones I use to listen to DSOTM, The Wall and Wish You Were Here.

I'll never not be amazed that the ticking is a Bass.

Good, good days!

This song always makes me cry. I know its cliche, but when I listened to this album on shrooms many years ago, it changed my life. Shidted many perspectives I had previously held. And to this day when I meet someone new and I am getting to know them I will send them the song "Great Gig in The Sky" and have them tell me how it made them feel, or what they think its about. The responses I get are so beautiful and interesting.

Me too….

It’s kind of funny, saying that a work of art is in fact a work of art.

Hi Joegillam, I feel the same way when I watch Wood Stock😫✌🏼Peace Man

nobody made music like this then either, except PF

The Moody Blues comes close!

Back then. There were plenty of great & unique bands. QUEEN, ELO, DAVID BOWIE, FLEETWOOD MAC, CHICAGO, SANTANA, ALLMAN BROTHERS, LYNYRD SKYNYRD I AGREE. PF #1 & MOODY BLUES #2

Well said

The soul has to be transformed into music to replicate it.

It is more than just musicality. The notes that a Gilmour or Peter Green play might often seem simple enough, but to manage and control the tones can be very complicated and intricate. Initially the basic tone of a guitar master is formed by choice of amp, amp set up, choice of guitar , guitar strings, guitar tuning, playing method ( fingers, plectrum, pick, hybrid ). This is enough to give a good guitarists their own sound. Great guitarists rarely play super fast if ever, and only play fast when the MUSIC demands it. Great guitarists take their own initial guitar tone or sound, and then change it constantly by using different techniques, different parts of the fingers / thumb to strike the notes, allow adjacent strings to sing with the played string ( s) and kill other strings...... so important to the tone of each note and often requires the guitarist to find a different way to form that particular chord, or part form it only , or join to another second chord and play them as one chord...... That is all the easy stuff..... now you must keep changing WHERE you strum or pick, keep changing the pick up choice..... bridge, neck , both together, but don’t let the audience see you doing it. lol And now for the 2 hardest tasks...... changing the tone and volume settings while doing all the above, and finding the right touch, the right feel with your fingers..... hard this note, soft the next, then crisp sharp contact with a finger nail that melds into a soft trailing almost harmonic as it fades away in controlled volume as it appears to be still gaining in pitch...... but is just one note and one pluck. Then there is feedback control........ We have all heard feedback from unwanted screeching to controlled tones and effects. Some great guitarists use feedback to create Harmonic notes that are perfect, can be held for over 10 secs unchanged or slightly altered at stages for effect before dropping in pitch ( note ) while in perfect harmony with a fading volume..... the volume knob being turned to 0 at the same time. Most shredders can not even imagine such notes let alone play them. lol

This is why I read the comments for stories like these.

That was a lot to pay for a ticket in '72'. MONEY! Time and money well spent.

I still remember the first time I listened to this. 1973. Wow

Maybe 72’?

Someone should put together a book of Pink Floyd stories like this! What a trip that would be....

You aint kidding, I remember going to the Rogers Waters 35th anniversary tour of the album, feels like yesterday.

Thinking there should have been some sort of celebration of this album’s anniversary, given it has so many fans and is one of the bestselling albums of all time.

Far and away their best recorded live album. If anyone here has not listened to it, do it. It's the only Pink Floyd I play on repeat!!! ❤❤❤

Everything from the Pulse concert is outstanding! Run Like Hell, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Time, Shine On Crazy Diamond.. The entire concert blew my mind. I can't even imagine being there in person!

Mine, too. And Time is second! Both are my favorite albums of all time, and I'm 64. Time sure does sneak up on you, that's for sure.

Welcome to the Machine is Floyd's best Pink song, imo. Absolutely amazing

Hey Bud; you do awesome reactions! I wish I could pay; I've decided @ this point in my life;; my daughter's career is MORE important.... I watch my grandkids & make sure they grow up strong. Anyway, Love Pink Floyd. The singer is always overlooked and Gilmore doesn't get enough respect; in my opinion. Thank you for being honest & for sharing your opinions..... May I ask for a Hendrix instrumental? Or anything Hendrix? No one reacts to his guitar;; that I've seen. - Deryl

@@jasongode6179 Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is the greatest Jimi to watch

Listen to great gig in the sky. Album version. U won't be disappointed!!

I Love 'Welcome to the Machine.'. I have never heard or watched that JIMI; Thank You. I was going to ask Polo for Watch Tower but I'd rather hear him do an instrumental; I don't believe he has reacted to an instrumental yet. .... Then he could do 'Call of K'tulu' also.

Thanks Man, I really hope that you dig into Pink Floyd. You will be surprised at what you find. I've been there for fifty years.

I particularly like to listen to the the one with their folded faces to the floor and keeping the Lunars off the path

I also think this is wayy better than Money.

Way better than Money.

Amniotic thru birth ❤

This is how I feel

A wonderful backing vocal group here as well as the stellar play of PF. Also on DSotM, in the song "Brain Damage," there's some lovely vocals again; AND we certainly cannot forget Clare Torry's "The Great Gig in the Sky."

My favorite still remains Careful With That Axe, Eugene, a brilliant metaphor for castastrophe colliding with life

Tripping music. 😂

This album came out in 1972 and stayed on the charts for 18 years! Pink Floyd became superstars then. They were ahead of their time.

73'

@@kylewallace474 close!

@@garymorse7249 you were. Just busting you a lil bit is all. 😁

Indeed, but should a first time listener check out the Pompeii echoes or the full length studio version first? There are arguments for both i guess lol

@@swfcocs1 I've listened to the studio version, and to be honest it's very weak. There is just something about the live version that's so raw and powerful. It's what the studio version SHOULD have sounded like. Usually it's the other way around I agree, but not in this case.

@@Markhypnosis1 was it the full 22 min plus version from "meddle"? Im asking as some collections have a 16 min version which is inferior. I really love both versions TBH, Live at Pompeii as a whole has to be one of the greatest live concert films ever made

@@swfcocs1 I'm not sure which version, it must have been from Meddle, yes. I was so underwhelmed by it. No power, no dynamics, too clean. Perhaps it's because I'd only ever heard the Pompei version. If I'd heard the studio version first then i might have felt differently about it.

@@Markhypnosis1 the live at Pompeii concert had a pretty profound effect on me too, particularly as my first hearing was at the Pink Floyd coffee shop in Amsterdam in the late 80s, that was a brilliant place, a coffee shop that played nothing but floyd whilst selling great food and prime Amsterdam weed, what a combination, truly enough to satisfy the soul lol

Great area to grow up in for music…so many venues just a car ride away

I'm going to have to do a review of the album one day

@@poloreacts27 The "Pulse" concert film is all their best tunes with a great light show

Caught in the "Pulse" concert from the 94 tours.....great show

@@poloreacts27 It's a must! The Dark Side of the Moon is an experience.

Always gotta be this boomer comment on a PF video lol

Hey! I am a snob too!!!
