MY FIRST TIME HEARING THIS BAND! | Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb | REACTION 

You're abolsutely right

Agreed, but now is the perfect time to check out the Pulse live version. The extended 2nd solo is another level. But also watching David Gilmour bend those strings is a must see.

Agreed. With Pink Floyd, always studio first, then live.

Yes absolutely must check out the live version... You will not be disappointed

Totally agree let the man walk before he runs 👍

That is why TOOL and Pink Floyd are mentioned together , Their albums are like one long song and should be listened to in order from beginning to end and both bands have long songs and never radio friendly lengths of around 3 minutes or so and neither of these bands care about that..

Yes, you don't listen to a Pink Floyd song, you listen to their entire Album!

Absolutely. Pink Floyd, TOOL, Radiohead...they are all creating works of art that transcend a single track if given the chance

Very true, although, if you were gonna start with just one song, I'd say Comfortably Numb is a damn fine place to start.

@@jackstrawful Without a doubt!

Exactly

​@@billkaldem5099 True👍🏻.....very😊

I don't think anyone's caught up to them yet. Have they done one bad track since Dark Side of the Moon?

Dave Gilmour doesn’t plug the guitar into an amp, he plugs it into his soul.

Is that you Maynard? Sure looks like it!

@@MsThebeMoon Go back at least one album to Meddle.

If you look at all the great musical artists, in any genre really, what is clear, to me at least, in their finest works, is that they put not only raw talent, polished skills and their heart and soul into it, but they also took the time to methodically and systematically craft their opus the way an architect designs a structure or an engineer designs an aircraft. There was a tremendous amount of just plain thinking that went on here with much editing and reediting along the way. I don't mean editing in terms of what sound and recording engineers do, but in terms of the music itself before it was ever recorded, on paper and inside the composers' heads, no different essentially from how classical and jazz composers crafted their works. Such works seems perfect and fully formed because a massive amount of work went into crafting them before a single track was even laid down. The composers kept looking at and challenging their composition and altering until it just felt right and nothing more needed to be changed. This was a fully conscious creation that only seems merely inspired to some.

Yep, one of the most poignant lines of lyric ever written.

same

tick tick tick

Along with the line from their other song “Time” - “The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say..”

That entire stanza , “When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look, but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone.“ resonates hard with me, more than any other Floyd lyric, including Time, which is pretty powerful in itself for an ageing boomer.

Yes. We had some really bad haircuts in the 1970s, but damn we had great music.

​@makelikeatree1696 who got haircuts?!! Lol

Welcome to the Machine? That's another song he should listen to.😁

in a way, we all grow up with Pink Floyd, even if we never heard them growing up, they connect with it all.

💓 care for a Cuban? 😉

Isn’t that the truth. The lyrics have changed their meaning as I’ve gotten older.

amen brother!

Yes thats amazing.Made me gry😊

Amen

Definitely ❤ And the best guitar solo of all time❤

👆definitely check out the live version.

This

✊🏻Eric!

Careful with that axe, Eugene!

Absolutely no argument from me. You nailed it. All amazing, groundbreaking albums.

Absolutely agree but I would add Obscured by Clouds. It's a tie between Obscured and Meddle for me.

Meddle is simply a spacetrip. Dark side of the moon is like being on drugs but completely sober at the same time, wish you were here is pure melancholic and a philosophical splash in your face, and animals is just pure shot of reality

And wear headphones....

Lol u didnt even mention The Wall. I listen to that album every day

the BEST OF ALL TIME

Yes! TOOL is the only band that comes close to Pink Floyd, not the other way around.

By the way, I don't necessarily agree with that stance.

Gilmour.

I was at the very first show of "the wall" at the la sports arena , it was surreal , after the wall was built they played b/hind wall

Gilmour.

50 years of chills for me

Me toooo!!! 😁❤️🎼🤘

@@toddbintz9868 40 for me!

I dont need to imagine, I lived it. I was born in 1960 and remember hearing DSOTM when it first came out. I was 13. I also was fortunate to see this particular song performed live at one of the very few Wall concerts in 1980 or 81 at the LA Sports Arena. Dream come true.

I couldn’t express it better bro✌️😎

I mean sister😂✌️

Hugs to you, Dear One. ❤

I'm so sorry, Patty. I am sure he adored you more than anything in this world.

😢🕯

Bless you ma’am. I’m sure your dear husband died with a smile on his face.

I assume you're referring to the Pulse concert.

I actually like the Delicate sound of thunder version better.

​@@Skywolf370yeah

Live versions are for fans. Every single band sounds better on recording. I wouldn’t recommend live versions to newcomers of any band

@@msabccbscnnoanfoxnews 100% correct about this

Brain damage. “You raise the blade; you make the change; you rearrange me till I’m sane…”

A few of my favorite lyrics: «And still this ceaseless murmuring / The babbling that I brook» (Yet Another Movie, Momentary Lapse of Reason); «Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us / To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side» (High Hopes, Division Bell); «"Forward", he cried from the rear / And the front rank died / The general sat and the lines on the map / Moved from side to side» (Us and Them, Dark Side of the Moon); «If you should go skating / On the thin ice of modern life / ... / Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice / Appears under your feet. / You slip out of your depth and out of your mind / With your fear flowing out behind you» (The Thin Ice, The Wall)

I love Gilmour this is his best solo and tone by far

@@peytondespeghel7017gilmour is clearly not underrated

There’s literal graffiti saying “Gilmour is God” so I don’t think he’s that underrated 😅

Same with me brother 👍🏼🌿

It's been said that Gilmour doesn't play Many notes - but those played are the Right notes... how true.

Facts

The Momentary Lapse of Reason tour was even better. Back up singers were ACE.

Please desist from recommending songs written by Polly Samson. These show should never be anywhere near a Pink Floyd album.

I timed the solo once and it's a little over 5 minutes long.

Animals is definitely my favorite album by them. If he wants choppy drops he won’t get much of that from floyd, but he will get an amazing experience. I hope he listens to entire albums and not just random songs. Pink Floyd is an experience that can’t be consumed track by track, one track at a time

Animals goes insane pls listen to animals

I concur. Dark Side, Animals, the wall. Straight through.

Animals has always been my favorite PF album. A few nights ago I got to see Les Claypool play the entire Animals album in the middle of their set.

Agreed

Oh yes, please react to Porcupine Tree - and help all those people thinking that "they don't make music like this anymore" widen their horizon. Steven Wilson, PT's lead singer, also has great solo work.

would love to do that sometime!! thank you my friend really appreciate the comment and thanks for tuning in! 🙏

Exactly!

Tool is undeniably this generation's version of Pink Floyd. Well, the past two generations. LOL

Very well stated!

Which Tool album or tracks would you recommend to someone who has never heard them before?

@@Calicarver The Pot is a great introductory song for many people with diverse musical tastes. It's fairly heavy, but showcases a little bit of everything that makes them the special band they are. If you want to try something less heavy, I would suggest Reflection, which I think would be viewed favorably by most Floyd fans. Having lyrics handy is good for any TOOL song because they tend to be very thought-provoking.

@@Calicarver Tough question. I don't have a favorite. It takes away from their other albums as a whole. You just have to start from the beginning (Opiate) and go from there, and listen to their musical progression and growing.

I have owned 5 copies of dark side

You cant maybe, but I can and many others can also, TOOL may have been influences by bands like Floyd, But they are completely original in their own right and sound like no other band..

@@Stars-and-Stripes- You can put Tool on a par with Beethoven if you choose, but that doesn't mean they are outside of your own wishful thinking. To suggest Tool are on a par with Pink Floyd is just silly and altogether unnecessary. Just accept gracefully that Pink Floyd were 100% original. The same cannot be said of Tool, however accomplished they may be.

I hear you, I have 4 myself!

@@nomdaploom That is simply YOUR opinion, "You can put Pink Floyd on par with Beethoven" if YOU choose, but that doesn't mean they are outside of your own wishful thinking... So I guess music did not exist before Pink Floyd became really popular in 1973 (Dark side of the moon) and they didn't have other bands before them throughout the 60's and prior that influenced them in any way... So please tell me who TOOL is copying their sound from? Just because you are a huge fan of Pink Floyd and prefer them ,you revert to thinking and saying that Floyd was 100% original, Yet TOOL is not some how because Pink Floyd came before them? So there for TOOL could not be Just as original in their own right?...🤣 You are being silly, as all this is of your "opinion", Just as "I personally" put TOOL on PAR with Pink Floyd and in fact I personally put TOOL above Pink Floyd.. This is all a matter of personal opinion... One persons favorite bands of all time are not the favorites for others obviously... For example, while I recognize the Greatness of Beethoven as a composer, I personally do not listen to his scores as it is just not my cup of tea to be honest as Classical music is not for me. “One man's trash is another man's treasure” - Philippians 89:50” circa 800BC...

This song is on The Wall album.

@@mouseshadow5828 You're absolutely right, my bad! Was thinking of The Dark Side of the Moon because of the picture, but this song is definitely from The Wall.

Yes!

Thanks my friend and thank you for tuning in! Oh what a solo it was!

@@sevsimo Good Reaction,My Friend but you have just missed one of the greatest LIVE performances in history. PULSE is the one for this song. I bought my first records in 1960 and was there 50 years ago, with 18,000 others when Pink Floyd debuted the Album "Dark Side Of The Moon in Earls Court, London and that was in THe USA Charts for a record 735 WEEKS from 1973-1988. PLEASE WATCH PULSE VERSION.

A little TOOL reference there in the end... Spiral Out!!!

thanks my friend really appreciate the comment and the recommendations i'll be sure to check them out!

@@sevsimoSo, so glad you did Parts I - V of Shine On You Crazy Diamond…eagerly awaiting Parts VI - IX !!🙌🏼

thanks my friend! haha i'm sure they do going off what I just witnessed! will be sure to check it out thank you!
