PINK FLOYD - SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND (PT.6-9) | WISH YOU WERE HERE ALUM REACTION!!! 

What a moving track man, Animals is next...see y'all on the flipside. Bless

Virtually an entire album in minor keys- the dark sadness goes on and on for a seeming eternity- then finally it resolves to the happy G major chord at the very end, and all is well. Astute fans will notice the little “See Emily Play” riff that Rick throws in at the very very end, as one last tearful goodbye to Syd. Fucking genius.

Shine on you Crazy Diamond if the very definition of epic. The gold standard

So great to see a young man getting into this music, that I listened to almost 50 years ago as a young man. This is classic stuff! This will live on, and future generations will discover it too...it's that good.

Glad to see younger generations keeping this music alive.

Great Reaction. Yes Rick was saying goodbye to Syd at the end. I have always loved that part. Your ability to pick that up is a great credit to you and Pink Floyd.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond is my favorite Pink Floyd piece, although everything else is also world's above most music of the era and beyond.

45 years of listening to this. I listened to it last night. Always killer. What a team they made. Puff Freely America!

You show great respect for this music. Knowing the names of the musicians responsible is a part of that. We fans will love you for it. Enjoy Animals...its kickass!

That they poured all that devotion and talent... all that inspiration and technique... crafting, thoughtfully and artistically into a suite of amazing soundscapes... for a man. Any listener surely feels the love they had for Syd. His “loss” (and the way he slid away from them) was so profound for each of them, individually and collectively. Surely, this set of pieces must have come to pass. It was just natural. That they chose to orchestrate their “goodbye” this way is STILL-to this day-such a bittersweet and sad thing to behold.

Parts 1-9 have always been my favorite pink floyd songs. Such an amazing story told through emotional music. Thanks for checking this out!!

Everyone says they like music but not everyone feels it the same way - I love how much you get into your reactions. I still get chills to this day listening to shit like this it never gets old!

You can really hear the R&B influences in this track. Pink Floyd were not only progressive and experimental but way ahead of their time when it came to composition, arrangement and production. Many have tried to sound like them but none can be them.

I'm old enough that I bought a copy of Dark Side of the Moon hot off the presses. We used to say that you didn't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, you needed Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs

Welcome to the great adventure discovering the magic of Pink Floyd.

That last part #9, not a word is sung but it still speaks.

The whole album is dope af...so chill

This album is damn amazing.

You can feel the love for Syd in every note of this, painfully beautiful.

It's rare to see people feel the music to the core. I couldn't be happier that young people are carrying the 70s rock torch! So much talent then

Love your reaction channel mate. You don't just hear the music you listen and feel and become emotionally involved. That's the beauty of Pink Floyd , the music takes you away to that better place. Keep up the good work.

Again, another great reaction. It's very clear that you really understand and connect with the abstract information flowing through you.

I gotta warn you that all of these Rush and Pink Floyd reactions are going to kind of ruin your musical palate. It's hard to go back to mac and cheese once you've had steak and lobster.

The last few seconds of this piece are Rick on keyboard playing the notes from Syd's song "See Emily Play".

It is possible to:- Discuss/argue about who is the best • Rock band • Jazz band • Blues band • Heavy metal band • Prog rock band • Folk group (why group?) Etc. Then there is Pink Floyd and the only argument is as to who was the best member.

I like how you don't mess around, and keep arming yourself with knowledge. Great reaction.

Jayrah. Love your short hair! And nice shirt! Cool and handsome! Your momma can be proud...your taste and appreciation of the best music ever made, is spot on! And a true gift....you are a true soul young lion!

Great to see someone react to this brilliant piece of music. To me, it's just as good as parts I - V. I've probably been listening to it for 35 years, and I still get chills, and a little emotional when Rick Wright's incredibly moving keywords come in at part IX

Thanks man for reacting to both the parts of this song

Love the comment at the end about it sounding like goodbye. I've always gotten that vibe off that send-off too. Sounds like a victorious exit. Shine On everyone

Watching this and then rewatching your Floyd videos in Album track order. 🤯You (and other Reactors) are literally the only TV I'm watching lately. 🙏🏾 Greatful for the distraction and blessed to be in a position to just chill all day and watch TV at this weird moment in time. 😉 And I know weird! I've been to Greatful Dead 😋 & Lollapalooza concerts! 🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny

🤣 Reminded of that part of the song when Floyd stepped out for a smoke & 'Steely Dan' took over for a minute, then Floyd came back in and said they hadn't finished recording yet! 😂 Laughed so hard because that groove is noticeably funky during this end piece. 😊🐰 #ENRGYZRBunny

This (Wish You Were Here) is such a great album!

The last notes on the piece played by Richard are from See Emily Play, the first song written by Syd that they recorded together...the final notes of tribute to the one they lost along the way... Thank you for doing the whole album - one of my desert island albums. These are last notes I want to hear in my lifetime to send me away... Much respect, and Shine on!

Pink floyd, the animals!

Pink Floyd is so beautiful and unique in their sound. Always in my top 2 of all bands.

You may enjoy "Animals" more if you have a quick read of Orwell's "Animal Farm" (I say quick as it's a pretty short novel, you could read it in a couple of hours). The book is a parody of Stalinism and the failure of the Bolshevik Revolution through the eyes of animal "classes" on a farm; Waters turns this around and makes the album a critique of capitalism with dogs (businessmen), pigs (politicians), and sheep (the masses) taking on similar roles.

You know, i used to do puzzles for hours (dont ask me why ahaha) listening to that whole Shine on you crazy diamond song! It felt so amazing and relaxing could never get tired of it!

"miner for truth and delusion" What a great line

Finally someone does 6-9. Does no one tell other reactors that there even is a 6-9? Speaking of which, you should check out "If 6 Was 9" by Hendrix

Yea loved it. This album aside from its message , and tribute nature ,and DG 's guitar work as far as I'm concerned shot Richard Wright RIP to my Favorite keys man . His synth and piano are 2nd to none on this album. Very Eclectic Keys man, rather like this group.Love to see you do studio version of Echoes!

The notes that Rick plays at the very end are a callback to one of Pink Floyd's very first Syd Barrett-penned songs, "See Emily Play."

Check this out. As you know, the entire album was a tribute to Syd, who actually showed up unexpectedly after years when they were finishing with mixing this. He had changed so drastically that he was not even recognized. Wright used a bit of the Early Barrett/Floyd tune "See Emily Play" directly quoting it at the very end as an extra direct tribute to Syd. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(Pink_Floyd_album)#Syd_Barrett's_visit

Your reactions to Floyd are the best bro! It's awesome to see their music touch your soul. Move you physically, mentally. That's what it's all about.

This track is a instrumental journey that you don't want to end, really enjoy your reactions to the rock classics that we have greatly appreciated over the years.

Animals next...from beginning to end. Please choose the video's WITH lyrics. Also, just do a bit of basic research about what the album is all about so that it will make more sense to you. That album will blow your mind...guaranteed!

My favorite Floyd song on my favorite Floyd album...nice! Gilmour! 👊🎸🔥

Love your reaction..again! Pink Floyd is amazing. Great Job. Thankyou.❤👍

An artistic masterpiece that has everything . Has to be one of the finest pieces of music covering all genres ever

When I need to escape the noise in my head, I slide headphones on and creep into Pink Floyd. I don't always remember why I needed them, but am always thankful that they're there when I need them.

Glad to see you enjoy this so much. Those very last notes Rick plays at the fadeout are from one of Floyd's very first songs, "See Emily Play" (written by Syd Barrett), bringing their career to that point full circle.

There are a lot of great albums out there, but I always come back to this one, my #1

Welcome to the genius that is Mr Richard Wright and my favourite Pink Floyd track of all. It is one of the deepest joys of my life to see someone take it to their heart in the same way I did when I first heard it.

Nothing more gratifying than experiencing someone else getting it! Welcome aboard!

I listened to this at 14 and now I'm 61.. love the reaction

I’m sure many have heard the story but since we may be dealing some new Pink Floyd fans. While Pink Floyd was recording this song. Literally this specific one, a fat bald man with no eyebrows walked in. He silently wandered around their studio until they realized.... It was Syd...he came in to give them a visit, he had been living in a Home for the mentally insane after his LSD overdosed and he gained 100 pounds and shaved all of his hair off. He was simply gone. “Now there’s a look in your eyes like black holes in the skys.” The band said all 4 of them started crying in the studio. They get emotional to this day telling the story. They Gave Syd every bit of his deserved royalties, He passed away a millionaire in 2006 Shine on Mr Barret ❤️

Always such a great reaction. It would be great to see what you think of slipping back a little further in time. There's a cool version of "one of these days" from the album Meddle (which preceded DSotM) done live at Pompeii. Especially great to see Nick doing his thing 😉 Anyway hopefully here's a link:- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nw1643T0RD0.html ..... deeper you go, the more you find😊 Oh and BTW the line "I'm going to cut you into little pieces" was reference cutting up vocal clips of a BBC radio DJ into nonsense because he used to just "babble on" in a way they found really annoying. But then they distorted Nicks voice to make it take on a far more sinister sound.

To say that you feel this music in your soul is an understatement. Your reactions and respect for PF and what they created is a beautiful thing to watch. ⚡️🔥👍

my FAV! THANK YOU man! suscribed and liked!

The brilliance of Gilmour.

Man, your face told it all! I've been listening this for 45 years and it still gets me every time

Rick and Dave have such amazing chemistry. No wonder they were best musical friends. They complement each other so well.

New to your channel and lovin it...thanks for sharing your discovery of all this great music. Amazing to see the same sorts of reaction I had in my youth while discovering this music my self

Been a fan from 15 now 60 will always be a fan absolutely 💯 %

You all keep shining too.

i freaking love this jam!!!!!!!!!!

I heard all this when I was a teenager when it first came out, it was obvious then, as it still is now, some "want to" be musicians, and some "are" musicians Yes, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, these guys were "meant" to be making music, and we all got spoiled, and knew we were hearing "The Pinnacle" but hey, who knows what brilliance may come in the future. The list is my own preference, obviously there are many more that could be added. Dogs, from Animals is going to blow you away!!!

I adore your reactions. I love watching you experience the music so profoundly. If you're open to listening to classical music, I would be very interested in seeing you react to Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Phenomenal dude ❤️☝️💫

Man, you got the best Floyd reactions...

Anything from The Division Bell.....heck..anything at all from them is great. Great reaction as always!!

Oh there is so much to explore with Pink Floyd.. Time, Comfortably Numb, Great Gig In The Sky, On the Run, Hell the whole Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here, albums. So much too much to name.

That guy was set on fire for real

In the early years they were often introduced as "The Pink Floyd Experience" ..... And that was exactly what it was. An experience.

Love your appreciation for the music that was a huge part of my teenage years

jay rah one of the best reactors out there

Bro Dogs from Animals is gonna make you cry, can’t wait for the reaction

Pink floyd puts you in the mood they want you to be in.. But when you do Comfortably numb it has to be done on the live pulse version. Great reaction

You are now addicted to Pink Floyd. Sit back with your headphones and listen to Dark Side of the Moon front to back while enjoying a couple of shots of vodka.

thank you again, Jay Rah - look forward to more! Esp. Animals -- "Dogs" and "Sheep" are my favorites -

11:35 - 12:21- richard wright says goodbye to his friend with those harmonies on the keyboard, note after note, the keyboard speaks for itself... incredible and very sad...

Watch live in Venice. Great concert. Greatest band EVER!

Priceless reaction. Keep going!

Bro I've been listening over 40 yrs and you just can't wear this shit out!Off the fucking chain chain!Love being able to watch you get Floyded!

GREAT reaction to GREAT music! Timeless.

Love it. And the epitaph to Syd at the end was nice. I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd & LZ but wonder if you've discovered Genesis yet? Try their live version of Firth of Fifth from When in Rome 2007.

Jay Rah, unlike many, many before you, you keep your word and deliver a great, great reaction to this masterpiece with your EARPHONES OF TRUTH. Most reactors only stick to parts 1-5, maybe because they don't take any risk and go for the popular tracks only. Although parts 1-5 with 6-9 were a single song at first (but they decided to bookend the album with it), I regard them as two very different pieces with their very own style and approach. It is strange to say which one is better than the other. That is no question to be asked when it comes to masterpieces like this. They take you on their own adventure and are doing that so well. When you listen superficially the instrumentation seems big and lush, but it isn't. Their harmonies do all the work for them. I l love that!

Cool to see a guy really appreceiate great musical talent..i was lucky enought to aee floyd twice. I still have a piece of the pig that blew up over county stadium milwaukee during the animals tour.2nd time mile high stadium, denver.

You get it man. Great reaction

Yeah I agree animals is an awesome album especially dogs

this is great for the car at night while driving down the highway with signs and turnstiles passing you by

Great reaction. I'll spread the word

One suggestion for Pink Floyd... listen to "High Hopes" preferably live from Pulse concert (there is a remastered version) and also "Comfortably numb" live from the same concert. High hopes is by far my favorite track by them...

Dogs is arguably their greatest masterpiece.

That was one of a hell journey ,for you, they have many more... enjoy

Good vidéo more Pink Floyd 🤙🤙🤙

Love this ♥️

Yeah man, you're on the tip of the iceberg. You might as well start with the best. It was fun watching the Beatles and Floyd evolve. I think you're gonna like Syd when you go back to the beginning. 😸

You are my favourite reactor man 😊

''Dark Side of The Moon''' is the most popular album but I always will go for Wish You Were Here as my fav Pink Floyd album .. They should have made it double album from this recording session .. The funk vibe at 7:25 is pure textbook 1970s .
