Pink Floyd’s HYPNOTIC ALBUM! Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here FULL ALBUM REACTION! (Pt.1) 

Pink Floyd will expose your soul

Syd Barrett was the crazy diamond... This album is about them missing him.

Pink Floyd is the most patient band in the world! This intro lasts more than 4 minutes before there is even a chord change!

It pays to have patience when listening to Pink Floyd. Your mind, heart and soul will thank you for not missing a single, important note.

It’s a looong intro, isn’t it? When I was young, I always got impatient with it. Now I just feel sorry when it’s over so soon

For all of us older people: Remember in the 70’s when it was safe to hitch hike a ride!!! Most people that picked you up would get you a part of the way towards where you were trying to get to and would play this kind of music. You would end up enjoying Mother Nature and if that person got tired of driving you would start driving, but if you got to his destination and not yours you would stop and say “This is as far as you said you were going I appreciate the ride!” You would get out of the car and put your thumb back in the air. He would give you a little present to enjoy your next ride with and would apologize for not going as far as you needed to go!!! You would say thank you for getting me this far. Whatever happened to that love for a friend or just to help somebody out-it’s sad that it got lost over time isn’t it? I listen to this type of music everyday, it gets me by!!!

Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd. The band who's music touches the soul.

Yes you are doing it right, Listening to the whole album. On your own time listen to it again, layback relax eyes closed.

Does anybody else love the comments almost as much as his reaction. People’s memories of a world we could never imagine, freedom, love and creativity. So beautiful, I was lucky enough to have a parent that still believed it was the 70s so grew up with amazing music albeit I didn’t appreciate it as much at the time but loved the stories. I was born in totally the wrong era and envy those who lived it. You guys are awesome.

(S)hine On (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond A tribute to friend & founding member, Syd Barrett.

You gotta do The Wall, if you thought dark side of moon is like one big song wait till you hear The Wall

The album cover depicts a record execs shaking on a label deal. It's what Have a Cigar is about

I've always loved Echoes. It is amazing to just listen to with your eyes closed. The instrumentals are so strange like a science fiction movie.

When you get to the song Have a Cigar the album art will make more sense. As you can see by the two businessman shaking hands a deal has just been agreed upon. This is the deal between the band and the record producer, a contract with the Devil. You can see in the background that is actually Warner Brothers or some other movie/ recording studio.

Roger’s SECOND attempt at a “concept album” (and he’s starting to get his sea legs with Dave’s help). But for Roger, it all starts to get “muddied up” because of Syd. I think they all wanted to highlight the cynicism of being rock stars but alas, it comes back to Syd. They hadn’t “put that to bed yet” and the memory/guilt/regret of his missing-ness is riddled throughout all these compositions. Probably not their intent, per se... but there it is... in all those notes and riffs. Syd.

Remember when you were young? Shine on You Crazy Diamond. You can't rush Floyd just relax and enjoy the ride. Don't worry you will get there.

Also, yes, that horn you hear is a saxophone - played by Dick Parry. He also played the sax solo on "Money" from DSOTM.

This is the most sublime of Pink Floyd's albums. Now that you've heard it, you can never unhear it. It will stick with you a long, long time.

It’s a sax bro. I really like your comment about PF being the “astronauts of music.”

This is also my favorite Floyd album. And in my top 3 of all time favorite albums period. Thanks for covering it. Jojo, you are doing great work man. Keep rocking!

Pink Floyd will take your mind into another dimension and make you feel things you have never felt before

Grats for 8k subs 😎👍 Pink Floyd best band of all times 🎸🥁🎤✨

Pink Floyd are THE MASTERS of touching your emotions. You don't need to get high to listen to Pink Floyd, listening to Pink Floyd gets you high....!!! You will mature beyond your years and have a better appreciation for life once you've gone through the Pink Floyd "Rabbit Hole".... Peace

New Pink Floyd reactions and whole album ones at that. I'm all for it. Came from the 3 parts of Dark Side Of The Moon. You're on a journey my dude.

i could see how impatient you were getting during the intro. thing is, if you know what's coming you will have all the patience in the world. the intro prepares you for the soul of the song xxx

I am glad that I grew up in the late part of the 70s and the 80s music that's when music was music

Right at 7:37 says it all to me, man. Excellent choice of music and excellent reaction! Yeah, it's "not bad".........

that feeling you're talking about at 12:30 is called Melancholy, and it was what Pink Floyd's music was all about, particularly this album since it's a tribute to their former member and founder Syd Barrett, who fell into insanity.

the circling lights in the background looks perfect with that sax and guitar duet near the end. :))

Dude it gives me joy watching your face when you’re immersed in the groove.

Yes! You're continuing your PF journey! You mention that the music was making you sad...that is exactly the emotion they were trying to convey...a feeling of sadness, loss, loneliness...the entire album is a sort of tribute to original founding member Syd Barrett...a gifted young man that destroyed his mind with too many drugs. David Gilmour replaced him in the band, and began the 2nd era of Pink Floyd. This album looks back at Barrett with sympathy and sadness for their lost friend.

Thing about Intros is that they are still part of the song. The song doesn't start when the lyrics come in, it starts when the track starts.

THis is also my favorite floyd album (followed closely by the next one 'Animals' ...another you need to check out. this song 'shine on...' was written about Syd Barrett...syd was the original guitarist, founding member, songwriter for the group, but unfortunately lost his mind (drugs, mental illness). perhaps knowing this, the lyrics will take on new meaning '...now there's a look in your eyes....like black holes in the sky'. man... TOUCH. amazing song, amazing album, amazing band. thanks for doing this. oh...there is also a really creepy/sad story about when they were recording this...but i will spare you...

I'm sure others will describe to you the meaning behind the songs in the comments, here is the track list and times Track #1 is Shine On You Crazy Diamond (pts 1-5) and lasts for 13 and a half minutes. Track #2 is Welcome to the Machine which starts after Shine On You Crazy Diamond, which is 7 minutes and 32 seconds long and is followed by Have A Cigar. Track #3 is Have A Cigar, just over 5 minutes long and is followed by the title track Track #4 Wish You Were Here, is 5 and a half minutes long and is followed by pts 6-9 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Track #5 Shine On You Crazy Diamond pts 6-9, 12 minutes and 30 seconds long, ending the album

What fun for you, Jojo .Enjoy the trip.

Your background is perfect for this album. 👌

Always love this song. Shine on You Crazy Diamond. It was written about former founder of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett. Syd actually showed up at the studio while they were recording this song. David Gilmour did not even recognize him and had to ask Nick Mason, the drummer, who he was. Syd took a liking to dropping Acid a few too many times and fried his brain. Sad story man.....

this is so cool your giving this music a chance. yes,my fave pink album

You should check out a pink floyd laser light show. You won't be disappointed

JoJo, the first cut on the album is "Shine on you crazy diamond". It represents Sid Barret's slow slide into mental illness. The whole song is almost an intro to the balance of the album, which is, in it's entirety, a tribute to the late, great Mr Barret, who was one of the original founders of the band. My personal favorite cut on the album is "Have a Cigar" which gives a glimpse of their R and B influenced roots, while satirizing the band's commercialization with their first major contract.

Epic reaction young bro!!(

The first part(s) of Shine On You Crazy Diamond is long, but then it isn't. Think of it as a whole bunch of intros strung together. You think they're gonna start singing then... more instrumentals. Then you think they're gonna start singing then... more instrumentals. And just when you think they're gonna.... Then David Gilmour's guitar solo kicks in.

Your lights on the walls are the perfect accompaniment to the song! A trippy ain’t, good for contemplation & relaxation thx bro!

That was a baritone saxophone with a switch to a tenor. Great reaction! Send more Pink Floyd!

So, you've already done "The Dark Side of the Moon?" THAT'S an album to be experienced in full. And it sold nearly half a BILLION copies worldwide and STILL sells boatloads despite coming out in 1973

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! What a great album.

Wonderful seeing a fine young man experiencing this magic for the first time. Keep listening to the suggestions from your viewers and you will have a lifetime of memories.

*CONGRATULATIONS ON 8k SUBS!!!*

Can't wait for Part 2!!!!!

So stoked to experience this album with you now. Animals is next after this album

The 2 people on the cover could be a representation of a shady business deal, and the man on Fire is the one being burned, or scammed.

Old Fart, here. I find the music of today (I sound like a curmudgeon, don't I?) is not for the temperament that we had for songs like this that start out with music. This music makes you ease into the story, which I think makes a lot of people loose their patience.

"Remember when you were young..." An 8 minute lead in is AWSOME!

If you ever get a chance, Dire Straits first (self titled) album and their 'Brothers in Arms' (I want to say 2nd) album, are great listens!

The light are a nice touch for this album... spot on young bloood.

Their intros are just leading you up the stairs to your mind, and into their album.

The light show is perfect !! It's one of things the early band was known for, even by those that didn't appreciate their music. What possessed you? Syd? I never really noticed that slightly confused fade-out of the sax at the end of Shine. So appropriate.

This is my favorite Floyd album that first iintro works into Shine On You Crazy Diamond.Its an awesome song about Syd Barret the man who first started the band.

8K Subs Fam 🔥🔥🔥 That John Cena intro tho

Yes! Time into Great Gig In The Sky are my favorite Pink Floyd songs but Wish You Were Here is my favorite Pink Floyd album ;)

Urgh ends to soon, great reaction , this track has an emotional feel for me and many, I am sure.

This is worth waiting for.

Welcome to Prog Rock... Looooooooooooooooong intros. And the production quality is always outstanding with Pink Floyd.

OMG thank you for using my comment! I gasped!

I love the your logo in ASL

Hello from Russia :) I like to watching you transform into rock-fan))) You need to listen many old-school rock-bands. Deep Purple - Machine head (1972) full album. Dire Straits - Brosers in arms - full album too. And about Nightwish - They changed many vocal-girls, but Taria Turunen - one love. You could to compare her voice with others;)

Pink Floyd is the most chill music, most of the time. Thought provoking yes, but I started to play this video and as soon as Shine On You Crazy Diamond started, I could feel myself relax.

It's a year later, and you must be doing something right, over 100k subscribers, including me. Cudos man.

This album was their dedication to their original founding member Syd Barrett.He was only with them for their first album. But he had a breakdown from doing too much LSD. He is the crazy diamond!!

Don't Worry. With Floyd, the Magic Dragon always turns up.

When does part 2 come out JoJo?lol,I really enjoy watching your journey exploring pink floyd

Your opening statement just shows you how pink floyd take people to different places. It took you to a dungeon, the opening sequence always takes me to some where in to another galaxy. That's the beauty of Floyd.

Got this album and 76 been listening to it ever cents

Yup bro definitely part two oh and something interesting bout the song you just listened, as you know the song talks bout Syd Barret , (how the band really misses him) . There is also an interesting reference to him in the title of the song. Can you find it? 😕 Shine on You crazy Diamond (Well now it will be obvious to you for why choosing this title for the song)

CLOSE YOUR EYES to really FEEL it in your SOUL!

They do a beautiful wine glass sound thingy with this song😘

Sitting in a beanbag, roach in hand, listening to this album totally engulfing me..

Pink Floyd intros are legendary. Integral to the experience

The flaming man on the cover really was on fire! Just for a second, while the photo was snapped. There were people with extinguishers waiting to blast out the flames. I can't remember the guy's name. He was not a member of the band but a professional stunt man.

Based on that smile with the tempo change, and the eyes closing while you disappeared into the music, I'm going to say you are starting to understand Floyd 👍 Floyd's albums for the most part are about concepts, or a story, each song relating to the previous. Listen to The Wall in its entirety, in order , and pay close attention to the story you are being told...welcome to a new depth in music man 😏 Ps- cool shirt!

Everything album is a Pink Floyd experience!

This just brings back the memories for sure...

Can't wait till you do Meddle, animals, the wall & even some of their older stuff & you should check out david Gilmour's solo album "pros & cons of hitchhiking" & roger waters solo album "Radio chaos".

Great music for in the background while doing your homework.

Soo glad you are doing this! This is the great great album! Dude you should just lay down and chill, and crank it up LOUD! David Gilmour is such a classy guitar player! Dude I'm gonna have to get lit! Goes real well with weed.

The long intro makes the drop even more powerful.

15:36 Yes it is technically saxophone but it a baritone saxophone. The saxophone most people are used to hearing is a tenor saxophone (higher pitched). Played by Dick Parry who also played on Money and Us and Them. He would also play on later albums, A momentary lapse of reason and The Division Bell.

Just chill. Relax and listen.....enjoy. it will take you for a ride

This album was their dedication to their founding member Syd Barrett. He was only on their first album with them. They let him go because he had a breakdown from doing too much LSD. But he is the crazy diamond!

One of the best 420 albums ever, it's an essential must own for anyone who likes to chillax with a smile

You def have the right lighting in there for Pink

YES, RUSH and FLoyd are next level.

Now that you know what stillness is, apply it to your life-

Pink Floyd is in no hurry to get through a song. They are done when they're done.

Most Pink Floyd albums need to be experienced! Shine on You Crazy Diamond has a luxuriously long intro, and this is one of the songs that typically turns people off Pink Floyd if they don't have the patience for it. Think of it as the car ride getting to your destination... then the lyrics hit and the album picks up. If you're looking for something similar, ANIMALS is the closest to WISH YOU WERE HERE. A concept album based on a theme. THE WALL is different. It's a concept album based on a story. And it requires a deep dive and you need the lyrics. Do the album first, then treat yourself to the movie! You've been caught in their musical trap now. Throughout your life you'll find yourself always coming back to Pink Floyd.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond is like the chillest song I know.

There is a song on their album Meddle, called "Echos" that I used to fall asleep to all the time. I used to be a hopeless night owl, and that was the only thing that could calm my mind and send me to sleep.

I love the sign languages shirt! I hope you cover Imagine by John Lennon.

Just so you know. Dick Perry who is on the sax. He actually switched between an alto sax and a tenor sax. watch this song live from their 1995 pulse your and you will be blown away.

This album is a commentary on the music industry with tribute to their former bandmate Syd Barrett. Syd was the initial creative genius of the band but he soon went mad due to his drug use. He would often play shows completely out of tune, facing the wrong way, or not playing at all. His mind was simply destroyed. It was later determined that he suffered from Schizophrenia, meaning he likely saw and heard things that weren't there. He was ultimately fired from the band and that proved to be one of the most impactful firings in music. Not only did it allow legendary guitarist David Gilmour to take over and give bassist Roger Waters the green light to take over songwriting, but just the nature of Syd's dissolving state of mind and the difficult choice they made in firing him played a big part in their lyrical concepts regarding mental illness. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is their biggest tribute to Syd, notably having his name in the title: Shine on You crazy Diamond The rest of the album targets the music industry turning young inspired musicians into mindless robots as a part of the "machine", becoming part of the system that they may have once rebelled against.
