All copyrights belong to Pink Floyd and none to me. Made from parts 1-5 and 6-9 from the Wish You Were Here album, and about 1 minute of the part 5 to part 6 transition from parts 1-7 from the Echoes double best of.
i say the same thing. Then, on a dark and stoney night i thought that it may be the advertiser's competition running their rival's ads as part of some insidious cooperate plot.
@@stevenclark2104 Hold on man... you mean that another company might be trying to make the competition look super evil by interrupting one of the funkiest interludes ever laid down on tape?? I am way too high for that one right now... I already had enough to think about... If they aren't doing that, they might read your comment and get on it pronto!!
@@fxsrider It's even bigger than that. RU-vid knowingly let these advertisers piss people off in the hope that they upgrade and pay Premium. In the mean time the channel receives both advertising revenue or potential Premium subscribers. It's a win win for them. That's the true nature of insidiously Corporate genius. ... of course, there's always ad block. It's still possible.
At 71, I still vividly remember in 1975 putting this seminal album on the turntable of my recently bought Panasonic music centre. I got the album the day it was released. I sat back, admiring the album sleeve artwork, and simply entered another realm of Floydian delight. I'm sure there's untold myriads of fans like me who regard Floyd as the ultimate rock band, light years ahead of the competition. Us Floyd fans will hold this album and the other Floyd masterpieces in our minds till the day we die.... And Pink Floyds music will live on long after that.
Когда вы написали свой отзыв, 8 дней назад, умер мой Отец... Ему было 72 года. Мне сейчас 48 и я сейчас вспоминаю, как Отец слушал Pink Floyd. Теперь я слушаю и плачу....Но он рядом мне кажется....И тоже слушает эту прекрасную музыку
i remember a friend loaned me this album back in 75 after partaking in some doobage i put this album on in the candlelight of my hippie bedroom incense beaded curtain blacklight the whole 9 yards. this album blew me away and took me into a trancendental meditation never felt before. amazing experience and still listen to this album today!!
Sorry for your loss,I too have lost my Brother to cancer/Covid in 2020. We shared a bedroom growing up, listening to Pink Floyd,smoking weed,and loving life. Stay safe and healthy,only go around once. Enjoy the Ride. Play it loud.
I played it just like this on K V H S 90.5 FM in Concord California in 1994. I used two copies of the album and potted them together and played the other three songs after it the phone did not stop ringing for hours.
My best friend Butch Garvey introduced me to Pink Floyd in 1973. For that Im eternally grateful. Never see my friend anymore, but heres to you Butch. The best friend I ever knew.
Wish you were here was played at my Brothers funeral, Then at my Wife’s, I play it every day in remembrance. I miss you Brother, I miss my Cindy Lee❤❤😢😢 WISH YOU WERE HERE🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I am the same, I was born 1960. Got to see Floyd in Cleveland 1977 and Germany in 1980 when I was stationed in Nuremberg with US army. God we had the best drugs and music ❤
This Song is one of the best from Pink Floyd, I am 65jears old, I make with my son every jear one trip about 4000km in France, with motorcycles, and every evening with French wine, we hear this Musik, fantastic
Mine too, first full album I remember listening to was the wall round about 85 (6 years old), been my best album ever since, a masterpiece is an understatement, cheers bro 👍 wish you were here.
most of their songs barely have lyrics it's usually a very long intro with a short verse, followed by a guitar solo and the closing verse followed by another solo hell great gig in the sky has NO lyrics lol
@@adrianpaul1985 yea ik its a signature sign of psychedelic rock. Pink floyd HEAVILY influenced the popularity of the style And if youve ever listened on psychedelics youll know exaxtly why they dont have alot of lyrics.
I'm still listening to this masterpiece @ 61 years old. And it's just as mesmerizing as it was then. Ironic I'm going through some challenging times now as I was in the 70s ..love me some pink floyd. Now and then ..shine on & rock on you crazy diamonds out there in the world forever
same. i want my funeral service to just have a massive speaker on either side of the room, mats on the floor, and people can lay down with their eyes closed and listen to this lol
Truely the best and timeless piece of music of modern times. There was, is and maybe will not be a more extraordinary, emotional and structured „song“, as I guess. Now being almost 62, after thousands and thousands of musical pieces - this is it!
How is 50 year old music more relevant Now than Ever. Pink Floyd music will be played for as many years left in the Earth is here. Passed down through Generations.
I remember I was 16 when this song came out in 1975. It was on the radio all the time. I can remember that rock and roll music was just making it's transition from AM to FM. What good times they were! I'll never forget them!
As 15 year old at that time...I feel ya! We can't relay that era to those that didn't live through it...They can NEVER grasp the profundity of it all...We thought it would never end... 😥😥
I was 16 too, a little Kentucky girl visiting my big bro in Detroit. He played it for me while driving around showing me the city. I remember it like it was yesterday. The album still kicks ass!!!
Dam..I so much wish I could've been alive during those times..I was born in 80 n had to grow up through all that bs.. just seemed like such a much more mellow time, a time when people still cared not like now, not like the past 20yrs
Pink Floyd albums are the only ones that make me sit still and listen to them all until they’re finished. Back in 75 we’d get high and just lay there going along for the ride.
@@auntihooha Me too... Full of tears right now. I'm scared. Time slipped past and all of a sudden I'm a middle aged man, my siblings are all in their 50s and 60s and my parents are 85 and 90. I don't want to let go of what I knew of as an eternity but it's happening and I'm genuinely scared.
My Mother is in her dying bed as I hear this great band give it its all . I Thank her for haveing me as her son , God I Pray she Makes it into the 5TH Dimention soon !
I'm 31 just now listening. Damn near brought me to tears then charged me up. Crazy I remember hearing my parents listening as a child. I was far too young to appreciate
Still gives me goosebumps, Floyd was my first band of “My” music and not my “parents” music like the Beatles and Stones, though I worship them also, I got turned on to Floyd by my music teacher in 6th grade, never been right since…😉
I must say this song is the best representation of my life. Of any song I think of the Ocean Surf pounding over and over again as my view of the passage of time This song is great time passing in my life
What a perfect balance of emotions...Of the musical reflection of poignancy in the opening, the profundity of regrets in the Chorus wrt to 'the crazy diamond ', and the Geordie Roadie's existential calmness in life and the prospect of death. It's no wonder this has been one of the soundtracks of my 76 years defying the Second Law of Thermo-Dynamics.
Played this at the bar a young couple askedme who is this I said Floyd - the gal said they pretty good if they learn to sing they may make it. I just smiled. And thought am i that old
From Wikipedia-"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, which appeared on Pink Floyd's 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song is written about and dedicated to founder member Syd Barrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after becoming mentally ill.-The song was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett---Barrett was eased out of the band in 1968 because his drug use and deteriorating mental health were affecting his ability to integrate with the other band members and create and perform as a musician. He was replaced by his former school friend David Gilmour, who had initially been brought in as second guitarist. The remaining members of the band felt guilty about having removed him, but although they admired Barrett's creativity, they were concerned about his severe mental decline and felt it had been necessary.[8] "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" was first performed on Pink Floyd's 1974 French tour and was recorded for their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The track was originally intended to be a side-long composition, like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes", but was ultimately split into two parts and used to bookend the album, with other newly composed material acting as a bridge- - - - - - -Personnel - - Roger Waters - bass guitar, lead vocals, additional electric guitar on Part VIII, glass harp David Gilmour - electric guitars, backing vocals, Fender Stringmaster pedal steel guitar, additional bass guitar on Part VI, EMS Synthi AKS, glass harp Richard Wright - Hammond organ, ARP String Ensemble, Minimoog, quadruple-tracked EMS VCS 3, clavinet and electric piano on Part VIII, Steinway piano on Parts III, VI and IX, glass harp, backing vocals, Bösendorfer piano on the multi-channel re-release (recorded in 2008). Nick Mason - drums, percussion with: Dick Parry - baritone and tenor saxophones Carlena Williams - backing vocals Venetta Fields - backing vocals
The sad reality is that Barret was weighing PF down for a while before they let him go ( for the reasons you stated)… they gave him numerous chances to get help and return but he didn’t. He stopped being a creative force well before he was removed; and PF would never have risen to the heights they did if they had kept SB around…. Just saying.
So many comments of people who were xx years old in 1975, well unfortunately I was minus 21 years old when this song came out but still love it and love Pink Floyd in general!!
Great comment... I was 17 in 1975 and hitting the bong while groving on this masterpiece. Love how the generations get it together with timeless music.
I'll never forget opening the cellophane on Dark Side of the Moon in my best schoolfriend's bedroom and us playing it for the first time...... And then this.... ❤
My top 5 are: On The Turning Away, High Hopes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb, Welcome To The Machine. Also, I love the song, Pigs, for sentimental reasons. Wish You Were Here is amazing and a classic too.
I was 16 years old when this was first released. Also one of the first vinyl LP albums I ever purchased. Amazing thing is I still have it today. Somewhere in the far-off future, there will still be people discovering the amazing work of Pink Floyd. "Classical music of the late 1900s"
You can really hear the Alan Parsons influence on this album...I was 15 in 75 and hearing this on vinyl for the very first time is a sublime memory...Thousands of listens later; It's even more profound!
Really? According to Wikipedia: "Alan Parsons, EMI staff engineer for Pink Floyd's previous studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon, declined to continue working with them due to him starting his own group and working on their first album." Otherwise, I'm with you - I will never grow tired of this masterpiece.
@@bfdmudk It seems I was mislead, by someone; I was sure I heard it from the horses mouth but; checking Wiki, he's not mentioned...Only as you stated...Now I have to go correct 578 comments...Pfft, thanks...:)...
@@oirampeceda2409 And you’re really making an ass of yourself again. The guy who commented thousands meant that“ he” personally has listened to Floyd a thousand times, not everyone in total. We are all well aware of the millions of listeners. And your reading comprehension is still as bad.
The 70s were an amazing time for music, nothing was off limits and the eclectic stuff that came out was nothing short of amazing. That will never happen again.
IYKYK It's almost impossible for me to hear this without my emotions getting the best of me. The late seventies I experienced will never be forgotten. It's amazing to me how relevant these lyrics are today with regards to much of the goings on in the world today.
I was so obsessed with this album back in 75, because I liked Syd so much, this album is the story of Syd, so tragic and so great, shine on you crazy diamond
Like another rocker said before me, my brother got me into The Wall. I turned him on to Dark Side of the Moon. Keep shining, Sam! You are always with me! ✌️💋
a "seamless edit" post is exactly what was needed for this.... the ebb of Part V >>> VI is beyond description. One of my favourite pieces of music, ever.
Holy moly....what did i just hear????....was expecting something i thought was untouchable yet it appeared and had a fuckin carnival attached....phenomenal and beautiful...thank you to whoever's mastery was at work...a masterpiece with diamonds attached..thanks X
I won't come into existence for 2 years after this was released, but HOLY ROCK GODZ! I have had this song with me for all my life. I say it's borderline religious experience listening to Floyd AND I am offended by the commercials YT inserts in the listening experience here. Thank you to the Cap I. Strano for puttin the full set on! Namaste!
Saw Pink Floyd in 1974 at Trentham Gardens. Unforgettable! Didn't play this as Dark Side of the Moon had just been released. Incomparable. No one around like it today. Or, as good.
