PINK FLOYD - Shine On You Crazy Diamond || Reaction (First Listen) 

Listening to this song in the dark or under a starry sky is definitely an experience

I was thinking this when watching. It needs to be in the DARK!

@@juliannecorley2704 Absolutely, it’s my go-to song, chilling in bed before falling asleep and I love to listen to it in the middle of the night when it’s pitch black.

Nothing is fresher than a roof in the north of Scotland mate ;)

Experiences like those are priceless

Well put, and couldn't agree more. I grew up with Floyd and other bands of their time and to this day their music stands tall and powerful. Today's music could take some lessons

@Jake Groves listen to some Frank Ocean. I reccomend his album Blonde. He's a genius and you'll see much of Floyd's, The Beatles, and many more artist's Influence in his music

Second part of this song is repetitive though This part is amazing, it gives goosebumps whenever i listen it but second part naahh, i skip it

exactly, wes alker-well said

Best modern music close to pink floyd I would have to say check out Porcupine Tree. Very much inspired by and reminiscent of pink floy. Great stuff

You did it sir, you did. Hats off to you!

😂

Arise Sir..

Awwwww😃

Actually...the lessons are just really getting started my friend, sounds like a good start though. 👍

Funny, I've always said Pink Floyd is like a fist that punches through your chest and grabs a hold of your soul and does whatever it want to do with it.

@SUEZ365 thanks. I watch these youtuber first reactions to Pink Floyd I've heard I don't know who he is of course but they are all so close but don't say Pink Floyd is an experience like they've never had before. Every Floyd song is an experience and they don't know to listen to the entire album for the entire experience!

The floyd 🔥🙏❤️

Poetic👍🏽

Boom

their early stuff not so much...it wasnt untill they moved away from the psychedelia that they start telling real stories.

Timeless music all ages can appreciate

Music music music *insert cliche about society that is obvious and easily comprehensible* more music ....

I do agree its a journey

He's not lying

When my friend "Diamond Dave" passed away many years ago, his parents arranged to have this song played at the end of the funeral service. Those first five minutes blasting from the church as we gathered to move him to the cemetery is one of the most 'connected' moments of humanity that I've experienced. The music definitely helped me get through a crushing moment in time. Over time, the sadness of the day faded into memory, but the human connection felt remains to this day.

Shine on~ ◇~ he reached for the secret too soon.......

It's great that they honour their roots. But if Syd had maintained control of the band's direction, we would have possibly been treated to See Emily Play (without David Gilmour) in many diffrerent iterations rather than the fabulous sonic landscape we enjoy now.

And now you know why people who listen to Pink Floyd like to get naked

It is amazing to realize, without Sid, there would be no Pink Floyd. There might have been something but not this. And he was gone before it came to fruition. There is a bit of a life lesson(s) for all of us in there I think.

Extremely underrated comment

Bruh... that is so deep... who said that? Socrates? Plato? Aristotle??

Yes and no. I can listen to PF either way and enjoy it just the same. However, a few hits from a bong never hurt any situation. I've been listening for 46yrs and it never gets old or boring.

@@jagdeepkaul1261 Cheech & Chong

Of course you don't.

45

When the saxophone(s) come in, it always feels like part of futuristic Blade Runner...

Which is ironic because Syd once visited the studio during the producing phase and he said that it sounded old.

Preach brother.

💯

Amen

so sorry for the lost of ur dad😔i hope music is helping you keep going❤

Bless you, young one. You’re gonna be ok. I promise.

I'm 16 as well and my dad died on march 12th. I played wish you were here at his funeral on my bass. Shouts out to our dads for giving us a great taste in music. Hope they'll meet in the great gig in the sky

Sorry for your loss and your dad left you something special alright. Music for the soul.

Your father had excelent taste.

I was in grade school in the 70's... My mom married a man 10 years my senior. I literally grew up listening to this and much,much more.

Acid helped :) only way to truly experience the Floyd!

@ The book came out in the 50's if I'm not mistaken!! And it's a gem. I for one have never had a problem being mesmerized by both

I went to a Radiohead show in Cleveland in 2001 (I think? It was between Kid A and Amnesiac). But there were thousands of people at that amphitheater and it was motionless and silent during every song. That's what this type of music does. There is no substitute.

Radiohead has been compared to and basically has been called the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century! I read an interview with Thom Yorke stating that Pink Floyd was a major influence on some of the things that they do.

Anthony Jackson ~ I’m Sixty~Three.. I’ll Be “Right There With Ya”, My Friend!!!

Age shall not them weary.....!

Wore my WYWH shirt today lol

Right! I still wear mine!

and then one day you find 10 years have got behind you no one told you when to run

Yes!

What's most is his trying to understand where that 13 min ride took him to. Peace

Exactly, once heard, never forgotten. D. Mont The Genius that`s pure music talent that touches your Soul forever.

Join the club man

as did I... Welcome. You'll never be the same.

Can I just say how much I love this?

100%

They classify bands like this into expiremental often, because of exactly what you've described them as. People have to find a way to put labels on literally everything. It's doesn't need to be that way with music.

In its time it was called 'progressive'.

Music is still music bro

@@lucashimself_ Yeah and there's actually quite a lot of good bands still, they're just harder to find, maybe cause of how things are advertised now

@@vinnyvinnn And rock/prog isn't mainstream anymore, most bands that relate to those 2 genres are hardcore metal which isn't appealing everyone.

ok boomer

Music is always music. Our parents used to say our music...ie Pink Floyd wasn't music, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix had belly aches....bla bla. Don't become a closed mind, music is language, regardless of whether we understand it at the time.

The story of Syd Barret is sad, many years later he walked into the studio and none of them recognised him.

@@manofmystery666 He walked into the studio as they were recording this song too.

“Suffered mental illness” is a bit of an understatement lol dudes mental state literally snapped in half and he never recovered for decades

@@manofmystery666 it’s sad that they didn’t recognize at first

@@SugarcatPlays Too much acid.

@Jake Groves "obey us your new extra terrestrial over lords!" Yeah , yeah but first have a listen to this..........

Ditto.....

Me to 61 yrs but I still smoke pot. Will until day I die. Listen to Pink Floyd and smoke pot 😎😎👍✌👌

I’m 62. Gave up smoking pot for gummies. Still obsessed with Pink Floyd.

you and I 40 years plus into listening LOL never gets old!!

Absolutely envious of your experience

Sailing yacht, 3am gliding past the sweet smelling island of Dominica. This playing, spliff on the go & a falling star lighting up the mainsail, I swear we heard it sizzle as it hit the ocean. Magical.

Oh my God must have been incredible to say the least

@@analogkid4957 Literally, one perfect moment :-D

Sounds incredible I’m 55 now; I miss those days. Great times were had!!

😆

I think that is the best description of those 4 notes I have ever read 😂

No word's.Heres hoping that Dave doesn't spunk in my ears.

NONE of them are wearing masks though,tut tut.

Best film ever made. Have it on DVD. worth every penny.

@@TheCornishCockney I think they were in a quarantine "bubble" and the audience were definitely more than 2m away😂😂😂 Clearly 48 years ahead of their time!

Probably my fav piece of Floyd. The bass line on that track is immense.

My favorite song was off Umma Gumma. Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave grooving with a pict

Add in the Moody Blues and Polcol Harem and Traffic, oh and Bowie.

Don't forget Sabbath and Priest. And, of course, there's a little Irish band called U2 who has sold a record or two. And we can't forget all of the great New Wave acts of the 80's. Far too many to count. As an American, I am grateful of the British Invasion as we called it.

Queen? Fleetwood Mac (more than half of them down the years), The Clash, Pistols, The Cure. So many influential talented folks come from our shores. Makes my absolute inability to hold a note in a bucket even more pronounced.

Can’t forget oasis! The last good one!

Yes, its strange indeed. U.K. is not so huge at all compared to the world, not so many people at all. But in music they are most probably the greatest, indeed. It's a little weird. I'm not from Britain and not biased at all. But have to accept the facts.

Pink Floyd would open up a concert with this track as a tribute to Sid Barret, fortunately I was at one of their concerts

Yes he was a lost soul who missed out greatly ! I remember watching an interview pink floyd were doing & apparently Syd arrived at one of their studio rehearsals after a long while away from the band & he was standing in the session in the background & the band members didnt recognise him & thought that a random had gate crashed the studio until they later realized it was Syd . He was obese & balding & didnt say a thing to them i think they said . I think that was the last time they saw him again .

That’s true. Then you discover Tool and you feel reenergized

Teddy Rex Yes! Much like Floyd it’s best listened to when undisturbed and in the listening mind state. Headphones are highly suggested. Lyrics make the songs more impactful with the new experience. Parabol and Parabola - Schism - Jambi - 46 and 2 - H. - The Grudge - Lateralus (save those one) - Right in Two - The Pot - Pneuma - Aenima

I peaked too soon. Got into Floyd at about 14 years old, nothing has compared since.

Tool is the next generation Pink Floyd. Both are stunning.

@@ddriveddrive4986 respect tool, but its not even close to pink floyd, conceptual, soud and rhytm, is completly different, tool music is to agressive and im tired after 10 min of listening. theres lot of bands much similar to pink floyd then tool is.

That’s so lucky, Animals is such a good album

@@sophiadavina4063 me and 83000 others

@@timmurphy7652 83000 lucky people

I was there at the Cleveland show in 77 also saw them in Hamilton ontario in 75 both great shows !!

@@thomasfutsch3163 just before I went into the army I saw them

Except when listening to "Time", of course :p

@@Imman1s got me. Lol

@@flubblert imo "Wish You Were Here" was their greatest track, best album was The Wall and best album side for me was side 2 of Dark Side.

No shit!The 24 min echoes is freaking awesome!!

and a record player

I like speakers. With floyd you want to feel the vibrations in your body.

@@cenccenc946 I have some huge speakers connected to my record player so it’s either headphones or the speakers I love it

Obviously you have never heard decent stereo setup :)

@@S50Xavier Eh, I don't like records. Outdated technology imo. :)

Amen to that

Agreed

Animals would be my choice

start to finish

Unabridged version if possible. Me: I like Dark Side of The Moon.

Another great one

Is an ep

@@dylamzzz5624 when an EP is better than most of their albums I just call it an album probably what this dude did too

Hard to pick one really. Every time I try I just can’t make up my mind. Love Meddle but The final cut is so dark and personal. Then you have the more commercial ones like Dark side, Wish you were here, The wall, Animals etc.

@@ramonhinojoza3315 Commercial? Seriously?

I don’t think his ever been underated at all , wot makes you think that 🤔

I think that he is a bit overrated. He did some nice work, but I prefer other guitar players. I love Pink Floyd more because of Barrett and Waters songs than for Gilmours good guitar playing.

@@pluso well one things for sure dude , is that you’re unique , don’t think there’s many of you’re kind about in this world that can share you’re opinion

@@peterwright5249 It depends. I have studied classical guitar with well known teachers since I was 11 years old. All of them liked also Rock music, none of them liked Pink Floyd (Pink Floyd is my favorite rockband, by the way). My last teacher, who is one of the greatest guitar players ever, hated them. I have won many schollarships and studied in Chile, USA and Germany. I have always been around classical musicians, jazz musicians and songwriters. Only a few of them shared my love for Pink Floyd. A lot of them professional guitarists didn't like Pink Floyd because of Gilmour's playing, which I can totally understand, since some of his solos are so incredible obvious and uncreative that you could totally fall sleep. I don't think Gilmour is bad, I just think he is overrated and I think most of my collegues would agree. Pink Floyd is interesting because of Barrett and Waters songwriting and none of them could play instruments very well, only Gilmour, but he wasn't a virtuoso either. He couldn't even play Money without changing the time signature.This is me by the way, playing the Aranjuez concert with an orchestra in Germany., just so you know that I am not just making shit up.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gVq8D7mavB4.html

@@pluso thanks for you’re opinion but facts don’t lie , for every i person that shares you’re opinion of gilmoure there’s hundreds of thousands that are the tottal opposite, you’re playing classical guitar even thoe it’s on stage there’s again hundreds of thousands that can do that as well , but no one can do up till yet do what gilmoure does to a tee .

Good use of the whammy bar Jeff Beck is the master of that technique

He's the Lord Of The Strings.

Never drops a chord, never a fault.

yeah fr it’s so amazing

Not many things I remember from my youth, but the first time I heard this, I could never forget. Sunny day, driving to Napa Auto Parts with my dad in Molalla OR, came on the local classic rock station at that time. 92.3 KGON. Must’ve been 11 or 12. Unforgettable.

Us and them about opposite sides!!! What for?

@@anthonylovavto3228 The entire album is about petty conflicting points of view.

this. i did it on mushrooms and this album and im not the same

Lights off, phone off. And crank it.

@@Asterothe91 man I took shrooms last night and I just had this on repeat for 8 hours😂

Hell yeah I totally agree. Have bee there enough times myself. A glass of good vodka and a nice fatty to toke on

@@dartanian72 Thanks...

@@gbsailing9436 your welcome. We are on the same page

@@dartanian72 Same room, different chairs...👍😉😎

@@gbsailing9436 yes sir

Parts 6 to 9 are even better, in my opinion.

....Closed side two of the vinyl record.... part 1-5 and part 6-9 bookend the album.

Its so worth it tho 😊

@@fordprefect9296 respectfully helllllll nooooo

sorry , but nothing from pulse is as good or even nearly as good as the original

@@pasbert4812 The Pulse version is perfection...

ilove pink floyd

God loves it too,

You're right, Pink Floyd is number one, happy you love them ❤️

Me too! His reactions and appreciation for these treasures made me hit Subscribe after Comfortably Numb.

Martin miller and his band did cover of Pink Floyd, which quite amazing (at least for me)

Have seen that vid many times They are awsome Have been listening to Floyd since the seventies best band in the world In my opinion Am an old man now but still love Floyd

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 yes make you so right there , it’s so raw just the 2 of them 💪

i just watched that video man

Oh wow yes! I know that video, it blew my mind when I first watched, its a crazy surprise when you see and hear how they are fully connected to the song, they play it amazingly well you can see they feel the song like it's meant to be felt.

I saw that video. It just proves that music is universal.

Was that at earls court? Division bell concert?

If only I could hear it for the first time again...

@@crystalprice7858 I've got the same. I'm wathing this reactions 3 or 4 day, always the same "songs" and I always have shivers.
