Thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoy today's video!

When it comes to Floyd, everyone expects blues and psychedelia. What most new listeners do NOT expect, is the infusion of soul and funk into theirs songs. It hits like a truck.

Don’t make the mistake others have made: for the most part, Pink Floyd creates concept albums that are made to be listened to from start of finish in one sitting. Sit down and listen to Dark Side of the Moon as one work.

Gilmour's playing the lap steel guitar in part 6. You can see him playing it in One of These Days and High Hopes, both from Pulse. David Gilmour is incomparable.

I've been listening to them for over 40 years and still have an emotional response, the experience never ends! 🤩

You are going to love Echoes from Live at Pompeii by them, my man. It was filmed when they are at their peak of their creative power. Echoes is considered by many fans to be their first true masterpiece, just before the recording of Darkside of the Moon, an album whose legendary status barely does it justice.

Their album ANIMALS is a SONIC MASTERPIECE. It's only 5 five song. You could do the entire album. ✌🤞🙏

You know what's better than a Pink Floyd song? Witnessing someone discovering Pink Floyd for the first time. 😉 I recommand to come back to shine on you crazy for a second time, and paying attention to the lyrics...There is a deep meaning to this song. It will blow your mind again, but in a different way.

(S) hine On (Y) ou Crazy (D) iamond 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Richard Wright owns this album. His keyboards are all over it. And his outro for Shine On pt 6 is gorgeous

Shine on you Crazy Diamond bookends this album beautifully. Richard Wright's keyboard playing on this entire album is masterful, you easily lose yourself in the journey this album takes you on, it's one of their best. It's layered and mixed beautifully. If you ever listen to their album Dark Side of the Moon, you have to listen to it in one hit, start to end as each songs flows into the next and it's truly an experience to be had for a new Pink Floyd fan, I envy anyone being able to do that for the first time.

Glad you experienced these tracks, this band is incomparable and unequalled, like I said before you will take this music with you for life and never get bored with this band

So cool seeing someone experience music I grew up on. Imagine being a stoner and going on this trip. Amazing

I look forward to seeing you experience the 3 great songs on the Animals album: Dogs, Sheep, and Pigs.

That's not saxophone in "Part IX", it's synthesizer along with piano chords, both played masterfully by Richard Wright.

Sorrow from the Pulse concert is a great one. Comfortably Numb from that show is alo a masterpiece, but Sorrow rocks a little harder. Actually, I highly recommend anything from Pulse, I'm just hoping you'll do Sorrow next. 🤘🖖

Hi Sevsimo, I am a 68yo lady from Sydney, I promptly subscribed to your channel at your first Pink Floyd reaction! I love seeing you sniffing your candle and yes, you're right, listening to PF is like taking a trip, I love your reactions discovering new music! You must know that "Shine on you crazy diamond" is a tribute and remembrance piece to Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett. Earlier in this band's history, Barrett left the group (read - eased out of the band) because he had mental problems and drug addiction. He was extremely talented. The lyrics of Shine on... refer to him, to his inability to cope with the sudden fame, while his talent was the diamond of the group. Another fact about PF is that they choose very carefully the lyrics. Specially for this, you might check out "Time" and "Us and them". And of course, you should finally "meet" the group and check out their super famous PULSE concert, you must watch the RESTORED AND RE-EDITED version, with pieces like SORROW (for this one you'll need 3 candles !!!) , CONFORTABLY NUMB etc. David Gilmour is the lead guitar & vocals and the older ones guys are the original members. Cheers till next time 🙂

FLOYD then TOOL then LED ZEPPELIN.... Oh wait, LED ZEPPELIN the TOOL then FLOYD... Or is it LED ZEPPELIN then FLOYD then TOOL... I can't make up my mind. LOL ✌

Watching you discover music like this is amazing. You have all the music of the world at your fingertips, and it must be overwhelming man. It'll be fascinating to see where you're going to go next brother. It's called the wick.

This was my very first music-album, vinyl longplayer. It was 1975, I was 12 years old. I´ve probably listened to Floyd almost every single day eversince. Here´s a few tipps for your journey for starters: "Echoes" Live in Pompeii 1971/72, the whole "Dark Side Of The Moon" album in one go, and please do "Comfortably Numb" again but the Pulse Live 1994 version (this one will blow your fuses) 🙂

Guitars gift David Gilmores to each other for Christmas. Ok, I'm recycling someone else's joke, but it's true.

The Comfortably Numb review you did, you shall need to also do another from that live Pulse show. Live show is so much better. Their lights and that ending doesn’t fade out like the album version they do it justice and will give a resonant experience. The rabbit hole on this band is deep and comforting.

Syd Barrett, founding member went crazy fro to much LSD. Crazy Diamond is about him. ✌

Well you’re officially ready for Echoes (Live at Pompeii). Be sure to know that there is a part 2 of this. I’ve been listening to this since it came out.

Thanks man, I suggested this. The two parts of the song are at the beginning and end of this great album, Wish You Were Here 🔥 David Gilmour on lap steel guitar and guitar 🎸

Man I envy anybody listening to these songs for the first time. Still remember the first time I heard The Dark Side Of The Moon like it was yesterday.

Pink Floyd will give you emotions and feelings that you probably won't get from any other band. They're just one of the greatest bands ever, and all i can say is.......enjoy the ride, because it's life changing.

Newbie to the channel and I gotta say I really enjoy your authentic reactions. As someone who was lucky and old enough to buy this album the day it came out it's a classic. Dark Side of the Moon is legendary and will always be my favorite album by Floyd. I remember my HIGH school days sitting in my smoke filled room with friends with no lights and just candles lit listening to Floyd for hours...just awesome times when music was actual music and not computer generated crap. Great Gig in the Sky should be your next listen to by Floyd talk about spiritual...wow. Keep going down the road you won't be disappointed ever.

There would be no TOOL without Pink Floyd or Zeppelin... and probably others. Two bands that are unique from each other and not even the same genre...

Floyd are masters of 'setting the mood' one may say! It's no longer an intro when it carries such emotion and overall importance to the composition in my humble opinion.

Hey, bro. I am so happy that you have found Pink Floyd. I was in high school. We had The Best Music Ever. I was born in 1960. I remember it all! You are in for a treat, my friend! Salud!ENJOY! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite “dose” of Pink Floyd. I call it a dose because it’s medicine for the soul.

I think we have successfully recruited one of the young ones into the PF fold. You got it exactly right: they are an experience of emotion conveyed through music. I’ve never heard another band that has what they had.

best band of all times . 😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate sound of Thunder concert . 1988 - 1990 )

One of my favorites. Produced as a tribute to Syd Barret , original band founder. Truly one of if not the best works by them bringing them all together . A total , full body , mentally fulfilling musical experience. ENJOY

What you have to remember is that this is coming up to 50 years old! Back then there were no computers to just click a button to add effects and be done with it like most music today. They had to record all the music onto tape and create effects practically

It’s not wrong, the song tests your patience. But it’s one of the most beautifully written songs of all time. It’s so good

I'm liking this before watching, cause I already know 😁

We all thought these were amazing albums back when they were released. Here it's 50 years later, and they seem even more amazing after all this time.

I think it's incredible if you've never heard any Pink Floyd songs prior to creating this channel, that amazes me. Mostly because their songs are played on the radio constantly where I live here in Norway, and growing up I couldn't avoid them (nor would I want to avoid them, absolutely love them). Mostly their most commercially successful songs on the radio, of course, but still. I'm glad you didn't, because it's so much fun watching you react to their music for the first time! More stankface, mate!

As much as you get into the emotion of their songs, you should listen to *The Great Gig in the Sky*, one of the goat rock vocal performances, but, of course, not what you'd imagine. Fyi, the song on the album just before that one is *Time*, possibly their most famous track.

Don't tell me that you jumped Welcome to The Machine, Have a cigar and Wish you were here!!! You just must listen to these three in a row now, this will give you the full story. Actually it was discussed if this song SOYCD should stay in its full length on one side just like Ecohes but at end they decided to split the song into two and add the rest in between to complete the story.. Again, don't miss out to listen to Firth of Fifth with Genesis from 1973..... you will be surprised what music sounded then....and not sounding today.

if you never heard floyd before you are in for a treat, man they are insane. Best band of all time, to ever exist man. They will rip your soul out.

I really recommend you listen to Time by Pink Floyd

My first experience hearing this was trippin balls and I was completely blown away. Watching you listen to it for the first time is my way of living vicariously

The entire piece is a tribute to their friend and original band member Syd Barrett. He developed schizophrenia and had to drop out (he is the crazy diamond). Hence the sad sound of the music. The entire piece is in a minor key to lend that dark tone. Except for the very last moments where it shifts major and brightens to a hopeful finish.

Yes that's David Gilmour on a pedal steel guitar!! The sound with the notes going all the way through the ceiling!!

Good evening. Very recently found your reactions and I’m enjoying them immensely. I find your reactions fantastic and very honest. I’m so glad you found Floyd. I’ve been listening since I was 15 or so and it is a real journey, but always an amazing one. As you’ve attested to, they have the habit of sucking you in on a certain path then without warning going off in another mind blowing direction. I still can’t get my head round their music genius. I do feel that something must have been aligned for these men to come together purely by chance and produce music of such inordinate quality. My friend, please check out more of Dark Side, Animals, The Wall, The Division Bell …………..🙏

Really enjoying your reactions! Team Choppy Drop approved - Pink Floyd feels like the Einstein of music, such a vibe. I think the Tool army comparisons are because both aren't afraid to break the rules and boundaries we expect of music as mere mortals. If ever the was a band that requires full album reactions it's Pink Floyd. *The Wick of the candle - Aloha

You lucky man. Just discovering Floyd. You have much wonder and happiness to come.

It seems you’re digging Pink Floyd, welcome to the fold. I’d highly recommend you listen to their other albums, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Animals are all genius. If you’d like to hear other great guitarists, I’d recommend The Jimi Hendrix Experience as well as Led Zeppelin. Those will definitely kick you in the brain in the most kind ways. Enjoy the ride

But do you yet see why the 60’s and 70’s stomp todays ‘music’ into oblivion? If not , you are on the right track at least . Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, later Beatles (beginning with Revolver album), Doors, 68-72 Stones, Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane, vanilla Fudge, Creedence Clearwater, Hendrix, Cream, the Who, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, Humble Pie, ZZ Topp, ACDC, Aerosmith, Moody Blues, Crosby Stills Nash with and without Neil Young, the Who, Spirit, the Animals, Grand Funk Railroad ….. You will see, hear, and mind meld with greatness!

Ehi, do you want to hear something special from them? Search for Echoes Live in Gdansk (you'll find it under the name of David Gilmore, the singer and lead guitar of Pink Floyd, recorded professionally during the concert in the Gdansk Stocznia shipyard in Poland, on the Baltic Sea). It's an experience too few people know (as they mainly refer to the Pompei, Italy, session in the 70s). I promise you, you'll not regret :) By the way, it was a keyboard. The saxophone is the one in the I-V part ;)

As someone who has been listening to floyd for 50 plus years I'm happy to see another soul getting lost in the PF Zone (There is NO way out, by the way). Your instrumental recognition needs some tutoring though, - Saxophone?? - No, Rick wright on synth, In the first part you asked Is that a trumpet? No, Dick Parry on Baritone sax, then Tenor sax. Just sayin'...... The whole PF catalog is full of gems, some short, some long. Some of the longer ones seem to me to be this century's version of classical symphonies and concertoes and some concept albums like the Dark Side of the Moon, The wall, (and of course Tommy by The Who) are the modern equivalent of Operas. You have a massive treat in store but don't be greedy, don't try to sample everything at once! Treat each song as a single course of a meal and you can dine for months. Can't wait to see you react to Meddle, DSOM, all of SYCD, Animals, The Wall and then the last ones without Roger Waters. Also suggest you read up about the band and that way you'll get some of the background info relating to each successive album. It will enhance your appreciation of the Bands music. Have fun. Love and peace from England

By the way… the Tool reference from your first Pink Floyd vid. Think of how the way Tool has meaning in every ONE of their songs. Pink is that in Spades. Every AND like Tool every one of their albums are the the same way, every album is a overall “message”

Welcome to Pink Floyd! One of us! One of us! One of us! 💗

You may as well go ahead and finish out the “Wish You Were Here” album with the title track, Have a Cigar, & Welcome to the Machine. Then move out from there.

It's always great to watch someone listening to Pink Floyd for the first time, but the basic message is always the same - this is much more than "just music". May you enjoy your inevitable descent further into this particular rabbit hole, as you still have endless sensory delights to discover.

G'day mate. Glad to see and hear that you've found one of the greatest bands of all time. And they've effected you in such a positive way. Watched your reaction to Pink Floyd in the the videos you've done now on them, and decided to subscribe. Looking forward to more of your videos.

People keep recommending Echoes, specifically live at Pompeii.... Listen to the entire album Meddle first. I swear you will thank me. ❤❤❤❤

"Dark Side Of The Moon" the studio version .....

You have to admit, it's just great music for cooking to.... You can dance, boogie, stir sip some wine and taste and repeat...

GREAT reaction

It's not just effects on Gilmour's guitar, he has a unique and special touch. He's different but equally expressive as Jeff Beck, who you may want to check out.

6:45 Yes, Gilmour, but now doing his magic on a lap steel.

7:11 - realization that everything you heard so far was the intro

They weren’t make music, they were making MASTERPIECES!!!!

💎💎💎💎💎💎 Great to see someone have the same reaction as old bastards did the first time we heard these tracks 40 - 50 years ago, I know some people partake in the green tobacco for PF. But you don't need too. It's a natural high. A euphoric wave 🌊 that carries you up and out of your self. Keep up the exploration, I'm sure you will find it gratifying.👍🤘

Echos

Real music, that's what you experienced

I can't imagine hearing this again for the first time...When it came out; I was 15, but 75 had SO MANY awesome bands at their peak, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Moody Blues, Gentle Giant, EVERYBODY was cranking out masterpieces, it was almost too much...I've heard this album a thousand times, but it wasn't until I was in my late 40's that I saw it for how monumental of a contribution to music it was...I feel sorry for older people just hearing it...dozens of early morning summer days and late night cruising in my car playing it on 8 track over and over and over...

10,000 people seen you just have an eargasm

Echos is great and might be your next adventure. I’m loving your reactions and that surprised look at every transition. I believe you’re going big on RU-vid. You just have that charismatic pizazz about you.

Just wait until he discovers The Great Gig in the Sky.

*S* hine On *Y* ou Crazy *D* iamond

Floyd's tracks segue from track to track so beautifully....... All most all of their albums do this.. ✌

i look forward to your journey down the rabbit hole that is PF

This is the more under appreciated Pink Floyd piece ever! It's my absolute favourite! Gilmour plays a lap steel guitar with a slide, that's how he gets that other worldly noise out of it.

Such an iconic band... right up there with The Beatles, almost anyway IMO.

It's David Gilmour on guitar. I'm a little sad that you didn't recognise the Saxophone on the last part and didn't recognise the guitar on this one. It does appear that people are forgetting what real music, played with real instruments is... At least you're asking the right questions though! Also I do find it funny when younger people are almost confused by music which consists either mostly, or entirely of instrumentals. The lack of a chorus in some songs seems to confuse some people too. It's as if the last couple of generations have been programmed to believe that music has to sound a certain way and the parameters are very narrow. I've even heard some young people say that they don't like music played with real instruments! Which I find really sad. Then again, perhaps I'm just old, bitter and out of touch, lol. :)

Make sure you hear the 3 Masterpiece songs in between the 2 sections of Shine On from that album, they are a must listen. Welcome to the Machine, Have a Cigar and Wish You Were Here transition into each other seamlessly and have been bought, played on the radio, you tube, been absorbed into pop culture or streamed a billion times. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

Yes I will definitely be with you on this journey fantastic so much material for you to choose from Just make sure when you do an album you do a little research beforehand because you might need a backstory or two

The whole album is put together like a symphony. Genius.

let me tell you, it always comes back to Tool, Pink Floyd, Van Morrison, AC/DC , Iron Maiden best ever in their category's

Another great reaction, man! I recommend Time next. It's top 5 for me.

Doctor strange is Pink Floyds spiritual animal because they are always changing size

I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.

Welcome To The Machine

The original Tool bro!

you get it. cool.

This is so exciting being able to experience someone discovering Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd does not age discriminate. This is just the beginning the journey. Also, every time I comment I will drop a reminder, "Pink Floyd Pulse tour"... comfortably numb... Goose bumps my friend, every time I watch it.

Hei ! Pink Floyd echoed look live gdansk shocking!!!!😮😮😮😮 ...l wait video RU-vid!!👍

SYD Never left them, PHENOMENAL Diamond Center Stage, Shining light all over the Venue all over us in the crowd, Tears streaming down my face, thinking of no one but Syd Barrett ❤🎉❤

Now, "Dark Side of the Moon". Full through. No stopping. Just experience.

I am 43, listened to Floyd.............. Since the womb. I have always thought there is something very Original Blade Runner about this portion of Shine On

There is lots of good Floyd, different time periods different flavors. Lots of people will say Echoes, Live at Pompeii might be next... I don't think so. I think Pompeii is better when you have really begun to appreciate the magic... It doesn't take long... and then see them in that amazing performance....... My suggestion, Dark Side of the Moon next, entire album. Then maybe Pompei...... Dark Side of the moon has similar flavor to Shine on you Crazy Diamond, but different, equally good as this album, I personally think better. I first experienced Floyd back in the 70's. Don't forget this is psychedelic rock....... I don't know how you feel about weed and the hallucinogens, back in the day I experimented heavily...... lost interest in that over time, but do have to say that kicking back and listening to Pink Floyd just BEGS for it...... together it is flat-out amazing.......

There's a story about them composing and recording this album in the studio and former guitarist and founding member Syd Barrett showing up just to say hi, see how they were doing, they didn't even recognize him at first and it deeply saddened them and certainly affected their compositions and playing for this album.

Dynamite! Pink Floyd - "Sorrow " PULSE Remastered 2019. Also "Run like hell Pulse rem. 2019

Can you imagine going through life without ever experiencing Pink Floyd? I am 60, and have experienced their masterpieces from early 1970's, and in my opinion they lose the magic after The Wall, but I still love the other works. If I had to only take one album to heaven, it would be...

And you haven't even heard dark side of the moon yet, only thr greatest album ever recorded. But must be heard as one continuous piece. You haven't lost your aural virginity until you've experienced that. Happy voyage!
