This is your first Pink Floyd? Oh my goodness....... gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts! It's no exaggeration to say that listening to the Pink Floyd catalog is literally going to change your life and the way you listen to music. Yes, I know that is a BIG claim. But just wait and see. We're so happy to come along for the ride as you have your minds blown & your outlook altered. Welcome aboard! :)
Yes, yes yes ...... listen to dark side of the moon for a day or two and then regroup and start from the beginning and you can see how dark side was years in th3 making and the ultimate expression of empathy
What's up guys. Listen I'm 62 years old I baught Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon in 1972 and in 1975 I baught the album Wish You Were Here. If or when you get the vinyl Dark Side Of The Moon, while Listening to it, you must light up a blunt sit back and injoy this album. The same gose for the album with wish you were here. Go on RU-vid and see how The Great Gig In The Sky was put together. It will blow your mind. Great job on your show. (Leroy from Youngstown, Ohio).
Indeed, and Gilmour has a unique, almost magical ability to express emotions with a guitar. For me Hendrix is the greatest ever but Gilmour is right up there as well
@@PUNKinDRUBLIC72 I properly envy anyone who saw them live at any point but especially when it was the 4 main post Syd members, before all the sueing and feuding
@@swfcocs1 I saw and listen them in 1971 in Italy on the Atom Heart Mother tour ... when Echoes was still a work in progress and months before they filmed "… at Pompeii" ... when they were still fine-tuning their quadraphonic sound with the speakers arranged at the 4 cardinal points of the auditorium and a joistick to "move" the sounds ... it conditioned me to listen to anything after!
This came out in 75, the era of studio wizards. I chose this one as it fits with the premise of your channel as you're both producers and the song being from the perspective of a recording exec. The muted filter used at the end is realy neat in that it takes you from real life to it's radio airplay, showing that the band took the bait and the deal in the end. The 80-90's wasn't kind to bands/artists from the 70's, many had become watered down and commercialized corporate goo by then. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Pink Floyd is a huge rabbit hole, have fun Gentlemen.
Thank you, Mr. Dirty! Unless I'm mistaken, I've seen you make an excellent Steely Dan suggestion elsewhere. In any case, thanks for providing some excellent bait at the rabbit hole.
Floyd n Stones r my favorite 2 bands. Who woulda thunk it that in the 1950s, that the next decade, would produce the greatest rock n roll bands of all x n they would come from England??!!!!
That is Roy Harper singing with the slight delay (slap back echo) effect on his voice. It makes it sound like another voice is dragging right behind the fist.
The thing about Floyd is they have concept albums and need to be listened to from the beginning till the end. So please listen to the whole album like you did with Steely Dan stuff. This band will blow you away!!
Roger Waters - bass. vocals; David Gilmour - guitar, vocals; Nick Mason - drums, Richard Wright - keyboards. This song guest vocalist - Roy Harper. Pink Floyd was a British progressive rock band, perhaps the definitive prog-rock band. This a deep dive worth every second. Pink Floyd's albums were all recorded gapless and were meant to be listened to continuously. Each song feeds into the next. Try the songs, "Wish You Were Here," "Time," "Comfortably Numb," Shine On You Crazy Diamond," "Dogs," for starters.
Love this song. Displays how much they despised the record companies leeches dressed in suits, the line "BTW , which one's Pink ? " says' it all about the money grubbing execs they had to deal with. Suggest you fella's check out the album (prior to this one) "Dark Side of the Moon" which is when the band really exploded onto the world stage. If you can't do the whole album the tracks "Time" and "Money" would be a good start.
It's ROCK, it's ALL ROCK. The groups from the 70's, their music overlapped genres. That's just how much creativity they had. I really enjoyed watching you guys get into STEELY DAN, now PINK FLOYD is another rabbit hole that is going to take you to a different place! Just wait and see.
I'm 59. You guys do an excellent job. This song is from 1975. This song is about the record industry. The lead singer is Roy Harper, but he's not a band member.. His name will pop up when you get to Led Zeppelin III.
Roy is a great folk rock artist with over 20 studio albums of his own and was great friends and mentor to David Gilmour, Jimmy Page and Kate Bush all icons of 70s music. His song ‘You’ from album, The unknown soldier(1980) features both Gilmour and Kate Bush although the song I think you guys should listen to is ‘Same old rock’ from his 1971 album Stormcock. It features Jimmy Page on acoustic guitar but the thing is how Roy presents acoustic guitar and vocals on that track way back in 1971.
This is progressive. Progressive rock was very popular in the late sixties through the seventies and is still played by many bands today. See: Tool Progressive rock draws its inspiration from nearly every other genre of music. From classical and jazz to rock and roll to the blues. The band "Yes" is in my opinion the best progressive (called prog now) band ever. Check out "Roundabout." It is a good start to the rabbit hole that is progressive rock.
If you are new to Floyd, might I suggest reacting to "comfortably numb" "time " "echoes"(specifically the live at Pompeii version) "high hopes" "pigs""shine on you crazy diamond " and so many others. They have without question one of the greatest back catalogues in music history
Pink Floyd along with Zep are rabbit holes worth going deep with with. Floyd is another British band with blues roots but most consider classic rock or maybe progressive rock. Not sure there is any band truly like Floyd I suggest Shine on you crazy Diamond next. Parts 1-7 I think. Your mind will be blown. They take their time to enjoy the music and sound. Enjoy. Wish I could experience these bands for the first time again
@kevinmalone2218 I saw them in Cleveland that same tour, a riot broke out outside Municipal Stadium right before the show started. Then, an airplane dove down over the stadium, and boom, it started! Somebody paid a big fine for that , craziest thing I ever saw at a concert for sure.
You are entering an all time rabbit hole with Floyd. Watch the video Live at Pompei in 1972 in an empty ancient Roman ampitheatre. Also the Animals album. Off the chain experiences chaps
This is an interesting song to start with. It’s sung from the perspective of a record executive talking to the band. Which one’s Pink? The vocalist is actually not even in the band, which is genius because the record executive doesn’t know or care, just wants that $$$. The guest vocalist Roy Harper actually sounds like a perfect mash-up of the two main singers Roger Waters and David Gilmour. You really should do Dark Side of the Moon next. That album has it all. Profound lyrics, sweet guitar work, jazzy elements with some piano and saxophone, and it’s probably one of the best produced albums you’ll ever hear.
One of the top British band from the 70's along with Genesis, YES, Bowie, Supertramp... the music is called "progressive rock"... you are amazed because the thing, at that time, some bands were really making music, I mean complex musical structure insired by classical music structure and with deep meaningful lyrics to listen to, not for dancing !!! I just can't wait to listen to your reactions to Animals... this album's music and lyrics will blow your mind even more... I think ! Enjoy 😎
True story: I've cried to the guitar solo on this song 😂 This isn't even one of the fan favorites but it's my personal favorite PF song.. so many layers, the concept, the funk, the time signature switches, it's a work of ART! 🎨 Them boys were BAD 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And you're thinking oh so that's how they sound. Well the next song you play by them is going to sound completely different and it might flip you upside down! Pink Floyd is their own genre, you won't be able to lock them down as to who else they sound like because they don't sound like anyone else and nobody sounds like them!! Try the song "Time" from their "Dark Side of the Moon" album or "Comfortably Numb" from their"The Wall" album and you will see. Sometimes they have extremely long intros to build up to the song which is always worth the wait so don't get impatient! Their musicianship and lyrics are always top of the line
Oh man, you guys have a lot of songs to listen to. I envy you discovering this stuff for the first time. You already have a bunch of great suggestions, I'll request the studio version of "The great gig in the sky". But first, read the back story of the recording with Clare Torry.
60s and 70s P Floyd is the time where you want to be ..If you want to hear the original psychedelia ,check the 1st album ''Piper AT The Gates Of Dawn .That is a total experimentation of sounds and then onto the 70s after you get a good sample of the 60s...
ironically enuf the person singing this wasn't a member of pink floyd, , he was brought in to sing it. English folk-rock singer Roy Harper provided lead vocals on the song.
As others have said, you are in for the ride of your life with Pink Floyd-the best band to ever walk this earth. Without reading many comments yet, I am certain that you have been inundated with recommended tunes. I am sure they are all correct as you can't go wrong. I will just say that Dark Side Of the Moon, Wish You Were Here (the album this tune you're reacting to is on), Animals and The Wall are all masterpieces. I personally would add in Meddle to those four, which includes Echoes-a must listen to both from the album and live from Pompeii. Other than Meddle, the other four albums are meant to be heard all at one time. I realize that is a tall order when you're posting YT reactions-but just to let you know, each song from those albums is part of a collective theme. Enjoy!!
Stumbled upon your channel just recently gentlemen, and very much enjoying your reactions! Much like Steely Dan, Pink Floyd is basically a genre unto themselves. Psychedelic rock, progressive rock, those might be the closest descriptions. They pioneered many studio tricks and use of electronics to make their amazing sounds. David Gilmour is on my Mount Rushmore of guitar players. You don't get it as much in this song, but his guitar playing is perhaps the most emotive of anyone that's ever played the instrument. You'll see. I do HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest that when you get to Dark Side of the Moon, one of the best albums ever made, you do it from start to finish. And you have to get the vinyl as you've mentioned with other albums. Pretty much all the tracks run from one right into the other so listening on vinyl is best. This is another rabbit hole to be sure. Enjoy the journey, you're going to LOVE it. Oh, and I will also say, Pink Floyd has pretty much always been best enjoyed while relaxing with some good headphones and a little something to puff on. 😁
@@angelagraves865 If you know anything about the Floyd, They could not do live what they did in the studio, That's part of the reason they were the greatest show on earth !
Awesome boys..You are definitely on a crash course with pure greatness!! Dark side of the moon.. and Animals along with this album are my go to for Pink Floyd..soon they will be yours also..Shout out from the old Detroit metal head..Keep up the good work..Love your channel!!
hey you're right about this 'easy song' to follow, i wasnt so lucky i had shine on you crazy diamond since its the first song on the album, i was not prepared for the long song back in 97' however form me this 'wish you were here' album is the best ever, darkside is up there too, but my first encounter with PF was that song. so it took about 3 hours to get my head around it
This is one of Roger Waters' songs about how much he hates record executives and the music "business" in general. Gilmour's guitar work here is phenomenal!
I hope you see this. To plunge fully into floyd. Do the songs Time, US & Them, and Great Gig in the sky. In that order. Be aware that all of Floyd's songs blend into one another and if you just program cuts, the songs will just stop at the transition points. It's hard to get used to.
You guys rock! When the record company says "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think... Oh, by the way, which one's Pink? (a total slam to the record company). Here's the history of the band's name... Pinkney “Pink” Anderson (b. 1900) & Floyd Council (b. 1911) 2 American south eastern musicians. Both born in S. Carolina Both were Piedmont Blues style musicians. (alternating thumb-bass supporting melody finger picked on treble strings) Floyd Council backed up Blind Boy Fuller on some projects. So... this is one reason why Pink Floyd is so great. They don't just make songs. they create an experience!
This album is their 1975 follow-up to the legendary, epic-of-all-epics, Dark Side of the Moon. Overall, the album deals with separation, isolation and the pressures put on artists by the music industry that can cause emotional breakdown. This tune in particular is their lament against the nameless, faceless industry execs who care nothing about the artists except for how much money they can make off them. The masterwork "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is a mystical, heart wrenching tribute to their dear friend, founder and former bandmate Syd Barrett. David Gilmour: vocals and guitars Roger Waters: vocals and bass Richard Wright: keys and background vocals Nick Mason: drums Pink Floyd doesn't fit into any one genre, they incorporate many styles, techniques and atmospheric elements into a sound that is uniquely theirs. No other band like them...not even close.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention (and you'll hear this from others) their albums are complete works, with one song leading into the next with no pauses. You can certainly react to individual songs, but many times they don't end like a typical album cut.
#HeadsUp 😉 Get use to "abrupt endings" and/or "interesting starts" depending on which PF songs you hear 1st off an Album as they are to be played in order. 🥰 Looking forward to this journey! 🤔 Also Rush, 🥺 please & thank you! 😁🐰
LOVE Pink Floyd, as a kid, I was (and still am) into Disco; believe it or not, there was a group called ROSEBUD, and they did a disco version of Have A Cigar, which I LOVED; imagine my joy when as a teen I discovered the “real” song; it’s amazing to me how instrumental style, tempo and production can make the same song sound completely different ❤
it is prog-rock. they were the creators. if you want tipps for your initiation, here´s a few: 1) it is always good to get a live-pink floyd impression. i would suggest a) "echoes" live in pompeii 1972 and b) "comfortably numb" live pulse 1994. 2) there´s 4 huge concept albums they did in the 70ies, chronologically: a) dark side of the moon b) wish you were here c) animals 4) the wall. actually these should be consumed as whole albums, because they are concepts and the songs are merging. happy exploration. 🙃
How exciting!!! Welcome to Pink Floyd. Every track is more beautiful and amazing than the last. I recommend Time as a next choice, although you really can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Happy listening!
You might as well start off Floyd with this homage to the bullshit record company clowns they had to put up with along the way. But once you dip you toe into Floyd, you go in deep. There's no turning back. Four piece English band started in 1966 as a psychedelia act. Original guitarist went crazy after abusing LSD. The remaining members forged on to become one of the great bands of the seventies. David Gilmour is the elite guitar player and bassist Roger Waters wrote the snarky lyrics.
This is your first experience with Pink Floyd? This is a bit like hearing the Beatles for the first time while playing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" Pack a lunch. You're going to need it.
I’m getting old, but we always analyzed songs to the point where we knew the meaning. When this song came on we all said “ fuck the record executives”. Then when “wish you were here” started we all said a Hail Mary to Syd Barrett. Again, I’m older, but damn things once meant a lot more. The fucked up part is that they actually wrote the music that they played, now it’s all performed by someone, written by someone else, and auto tuned. That’s why no one will remember it like this song.
Probably already down in the comments, but this is the only Pink Floyd song not sung by a member of the band. The vocalist on this track is Roy Harper.
There is a saying that kids asked for guitars for Christmas but guitars asked for David Gilmour another quote they asked Eric Clapton what I sound like to be the best guitarist in the world he answered I don’t know you have to ask David Gilmour
Pink Floyd isn't a collection of little diddys, but full concept albums. That's why it's best to listen to the entire album as a whole in one sitting from beginning to end, otherwise it won't make any sense. My favorites two albums is the Dark Side of the Moon and Whish you where here.
There are, being reductive, three phases of Pink Floyd: Early psychedelia (late 60s to early 70s). Middle period greatness (73 to 76, maybe 79). The Decline and Fall (80s onward). There are three magificent albums - this track is from the last of them. In style they could be called prog rock (my wife loves Floyd and hates prog, so she disputes that) or I like the term architectural blues. I expect there to be some disagreement over just about everything I've written 🙈
Oh, by the way, which one is pink? Unusual first ever Floyd song to play. But it’s a classic. Only one thing wrong with this tune, radio stations can’t stop playing it. Ignore tons of Floyd and have a cigar. Enjoy your pink rabbit hole. Now play that goddam Grateful Dead song o sent u!!! Lol
I gotta recommend that you guys check out Robert Johnson. He’s the most influential musician ever, but he rarely gets airtime because his music is so old.
Believe it or not, only 4 people make this beautiful music... And it sounds current because good music is timeless... YOu have stumbled on one of the best group of musicians to ever be assembled. And my personal all time favorite band. Black Sabbath, though very different and for different reasons, is a close second, depending on my mood...
Welcome to the journey known as Pink Floyd. Great reaction . You will see with Pink Floyd most songs have long slow introductions to put you in the mood they want you to be in. When you do the song Time.. You will think about your life in a totally different way.
This is one of my all time favorite bands!!!! They formed in 1967, getting their name from 2 Georgia blues singers Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. They lost their original singer/songwriter LITERALLY to insanity. That’s why a lot of their songs are about loss and losing your mind. Also this one is great because it bashes the record industry!!!
Y'all look like me listening to this album. It's so good. Shine On part 1 is all blues and one of the later parts is legitimately the best funk you'll ever hear. It's wild.
You have stumbled upon one of the deepest rabbit holes, one that has no end. Welcome to Progressive Music! Please play the live video of Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes.
Just recently found you, love what you're doing,this is all the stuff my band covers,my best friend and drummer just passed away, first time I met him he said " I've never heard anyone play Since I've Been Loving You so perfectly." We were just kids, I took it so big because he was two years older and a much better drummer than anyone I knew. Im heartbroken over his death, but seeing new people dig good music helps.
"Childhood's End" is one of my personal favorites. There's never a bad choice when it comes to them, I would make a suggestion of doing the albums song by song if at all possible. Some of their more popular songs come from albums that create a whole piece. Transitions are top notch. I hope everyone is having a great Friday.-Amber
@@andrewdavidson665 same!! Only one reactor that I’m aware of has done Obscured By Clouds. I understand why it doesn’t get the attention of others as it is a soundtrack, but still some great nuggets in that one. -Amber
@@emmett-amber5456 yeah it's a shame because there are some classics there. Some early signs of what was coming but which stand well by themselves. All the more amazing since they recorded the entire album in less than 2 weeks of studio time I think. It was something ludicrous like that in any case.
@@andrewdavidson665 I didn’t find the album until about a year ago when Pandora randomly played “Childhoods End” and it made me buckle in my tracks. It instantly became one of my top 3 albums from them. When I heard “Stay” for the first time I had to check and make sure I was still listening to Pink Floyd lol
@@emmett-amber5456 Stay is a good track to highlight just how lush and full Rick Wright's voice was compared to the other two singers. Always loved his vocal contributions but they were few and far between.
Here is the LIVE "Comfortably Numb" PULSE TOUR performance with David Gilmour's legendary solos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1VjgyLpWkRI.html
You both can't imagine: every PF song is great to make acquaintance with them and to dive into a very deep rabbit hole. Just the whole album Wish you were here form start to finish. It will not dissapoint you. Enjoy!
WOW!! You guys are hitting the classic bands. My favorite song by PF has no lyrics just women wailing. Try 'Great Gig In The Sky' live at Pulse. The song is very emotional as it's about death. Well worth the listen. You
Here is a LZ song most people wouldn’t suggest, but every one loves it! You will not be disappointed, guaranteed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4gT63xovuWE.html
Syd barrett--the mastermind behind PF, came up with the name on the spur of the moment. the Tea Set was performing before them, so Syd took the first names of the 2 men playing in the tea set, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. The lines," the band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.." oh by the way, which ones pink?, is to show their lies and point towards true intent -..I love the line, "We're so happy we can hardly count"
