Pink Floyd will be viewed in the 21st and 22nd century the same way WE see Beethoven and Mozart now. Pink Floyd will the 21st century's classical music.

Remember you can enjoy Pink Floyd without drugs. But you cannot truly enjoy drugs without Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is a spaceship! You leave this world.

Young Sir, big respect to you, you’ve dived into a massive rabbit hole and to your credit you’ve asked questions you’ve listen to the tracks you’ve taken on board comments fair play ….I sincerely hope you continue and enjoy your journey.

Every song you hear from Pink Floyd will be your favorite.

This is why people say that parts 6 - 9 are the best... The Floyd just settles into so many grooves that words cannot describe. Genius!

This album was released in 1975, believe it or not. A masterpiece.

The inspiration for this song is such a sad story. Imagine sitting by and watching your friend deteriorate into complete madness...

when you say out of this world, you may be right, they probably came from another planet. they are/ were a rare talent that almost no one can compete with

I really love how Pink Floyd can evoke such clear imagery with music. There are parts of this song that sound to me like what light twinkling and surging through a faceted diamond looks like. It's amazing. Another example of this for me is in their song Sheep - Gilmour's guitar comes in like chopping, slicing blades. 💜🤘🏽

Animals is one of my very fav Pink Floyd albums- it’s absolutely one you listen from start to finish due to it being a story . So lucky to have seen them live in the 80’s- I’ll be 70 in a few years and they will always be on my playlist.

On The Turning Away...live at The Delicate Sound Of Thunder concert. Simply mind blowing!

The beauty of Pink Floyd is how seamlessly their albums blend from one song to another! Give the whole album a listen start to finish and you'll appreciate it immensely. Same with their album Animals. I've seen Roger Waters 5x and I have a brick from the wall that was used in the Buffalo New York concert!

I bought the album immediately upon release and it has been a constant companion these nigh on 48 years. It's great to see a whole new generation discovering Floyd's music. I'm thoroughly convinced that people will still be listening to them in a 100 or 200 years. If your so inclined try the following album "Animals" which has a completely different atmosphere to "Wish You Were Here" Recorded just as punk was breaking through its themes are as angry, cynical and accusatory as The Clash or The Pistols or The Damned. If I remember correctly Nick Mason was quoted as saying that he was glad punk happened because it resurrectied the underground vibe of the early days of the band.

They can tell stories WITHOUT WORDS: and, not only that - every STORY means SOMETHING ELSE to EVERY PERSON. UNMATCHED! Thanks for playing this: TOGETHER! So many don't, and they miss A LOT!! HUGS! Enjoy the rabbit holes!!

So glad you went right into 6 - 9 while 1 -6 was still fresh to you. And you are correct, the looks on your face are your reactions. Most of us don't need PF "explained " to us. Great job. Keep going.

The difference is that David Gilmour is playing on a lap steel guitar with slide until the theme section comes back 🔥

Credit where it's due, you do seem to actually understand Pink Floyd's music unlike some other reactors, keep up the good work there are so many more amazing songs to discover

When I was in college I trained myself to fall asleep to this song. Right after the lyrics and synthesizer I would imagine I’m a bird soaring and eventually drift off. Still works to calm me 💜

Pink Floyd for the win!

Adding this from Wikipedia so you have the full story… Syd left/they forced him out in 1967. Syd Barrett's visit edit On 5 June 1975, on the eve of Pink Floyd's second US tour that year, Gilmour married his first wife, Ginger.[nb 2] That day, the band were completing the mix of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"[nb 3] when an overweight man with shaven head and eyebrows entered, carrying a plastic bag. Waters did not recognise him.[8] Gilmour presumed he was an EMI staff member.[22] Wright presumed he was a friend of Waters, but realised it was Barrett.[25] Mason also failed to recognise him and was "horrified" when Gilmour identified him. In Mason's Pink Floyd memoir Inside Out, he recalled Barrett's conversation as "desultory and not entirely sensible".[26] Cover artist Storm Thorgerson reflected on Barrett's presence: "Two or three people cried. He sat round and talked for a bit but he wasn't really there."[27]. According to Gilmour, Barrett "came two or three days and then he didn't come anymore.".[28] Waters was reportedly reduced to tears by the sight of his former bandmate. When fellow visitor Andrew King asked how Barrett had gained so much weight, Barrett said he had a large refrigerator in his kitchen and had been eating lots of pork chops. He mentioned that he was ready to help with the recording, but while listening to the mix of "Shine On", showed no signs of understanding its relevance to him. Barrett joined Gilmour's wedding reception in the EMI canteen, but left without saying goodbye. Apart from Waters seeing Barrett buying sweets in Harrods a couple of years later, it was the last time any member of the band saw him alive. Barrett's appearance may have influenced the final version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"; a subtle refrain performed by Wright from "See Emily Play" is audible towards the end.[26] Waters said later: "'Shine On' is not really about Syd-he's just a symbol for all the extremes of absence some people have to indulge in because it's the only way they can cope with how fucking sad it is, modern life, to withdraw completely. I found that terribly sad."[29]

Nick Mason never gets enough credit for their sound over the years........................just sayin'......:)

Pink Floyd is all about the music, not about songs. Normally listen to songs, like in a playlist, but with PF you experience the music.

MB's face looks like he's thinking 'this can't be right, but it's,like, perfect!'

Pink Floyd is gangster. Total ganster musically & instramentally!😊💥😎 I've been a listener since the 1970's. You are just scratching the surface.🔴

Echoes. Studio version. Echoes David Gilmore live Gdańsk. And Echoes live at Pompeii. All three are amazing

1975 released. I remember an uninterrupted BBC Radio 2 live nationwide preview of the entire album a short time before official release. Couldn't see that happening now. 😄

Oh yes. The better half. The synths, the slide guitar, and all evoking intense emotional pain and anguish and loss… all for Syd Barrett. At the very very end as it fades, the refrain from Syd/Floyd 1967 hit See Emily Play. It was apparently spontaneously added by Rick Wright on keyboards on this; he was closest to Syd in many ways. Far more complex and ambitious than the first part. It’s searing in its intensity ❤😢😢😢 but resolves to hope in the final bars 🎉

Eventually you need to listen DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, ANIMALS and THE WALL entire albums.

Pink Floyd Live In Pulse with "Sorrow" :) great reaction

Your facial expressions say it all. No words needed.

What up man. I think it’s so cool you’re checking out all of these older songs. And you listen.👊

You are probably ready for something from the Animals album. I would suggest doing the entire album but if not, you can choose from "Dogs", "Sheep" or "Pigs".

You know , music is entertaining but Floyd is soul food ❤️

Rick Wright is the genius behind the synth and keyboards. Gilmour and Wright were musical geniuses and together were much of the PF sound. Nick Mason on drums knew exactly what to play, no matter what song, highly underrated drummer! Roger Waters wrote some words.

Best album ever imho, it is magical you are right!

it first came out in 1974/5 All their music tells a story and is really perfect listening with long tracks. Enjoy.

It’s my kids’ bedtimes at 8 but I’ll catch it later ❤ if I miss it. I still find it deeply affecting after about 40 years since I first heard it ❤

Try "Fearless" from the album Meddle 1971. It pre-dates the Dark Side of the Moon album, which catapulted them to megastardom, but their genius, as always, is readily apparent. And it's a great frigging tune! Keep it up, young man, you're doing great.

Your reaction warms my heart... the way the music grabs your soul is written on your face. Welcome to the World of Pink Floyd

I haven't listened to the Wish You Were Here album in a long time so thank you for this, young man. I remember when i bought that album, on vinyl of course, back in '78 and listened to it for the first time. It blew me right the f*ck away. I was in awe! The pure emotions that come from David Gilmour's guitar? No words for it, man. Great reaction video. Keep 'em coming!

"Wish You Were Here" the title track, next. And then do the amazing live version from the 'Pulse' concert video. Gilmour's vocals nearly as heart-wrenching as his guitar on this one. Another great reaction. 👍👍

Best live show I've ever seen. 15 yo. '94 tour.

The ghost of Syd really never left the band. Roger and David still perform Crazy Diamond (into their golden years). Not together, though.

Music that makes you feel. Kept me going for 55yrs. All the best for your future. Keep on keeping on my friend.

to be fair, the first time me listening to pink floyd back in 97' was this album and I couldn't get my head around it seriously, so I dismissed it the first 2 times, but there was enough in there that I listened to shine on all the way through and found it was a fuking masterpiece, best album ever for me. you need to listen to this album al the way through my favourite from it is 'Welcome to the machine' its deep and amazing to listen to. Actually the first song I knew from them was Another Brick In The Wall [Part 2]

The album Wish You Were Here was released in 1975 but the music is timeless. check out Have A Cigar on the same album. Great reaction.

The ending was a Rick Wright ad lib on the keyboards. He said it was a final church like tribute to Sid in the whole piece which is dedicated to him

Can a 15 minute song not be long enough? Yeah, apparently it can.

Can't wait to watch you react to "Dogs" from the "Animals" LP!!!

Loveee this! Shine on you crazy diamond is my favorite! Time would be second But I adore them all 😊

Love your reaction to Pink Floyd and pleased you have found them. You should listen to 3 albums Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. There is not a bad track on any of them. Pink Floyd are just on another le:el!

"Wish You Were Here" and "Dark Side of the Moon" are my two favourite Pink Floyd albums & sit proudly among my all time top albums (vinyl of course) .

Love watching you go down the rabbit hole of Pink Floyd!

You are like me 35 Years Ago 🙂. Thank Tou !!!❤❤❤

SOYCD 1-5 is what got me hooked on Pink Floyd

The Album wish you were here was released in 1975.👍

Its impossible to choose Pink Floyds best song, However this one ranks up on top.

Greatest music in the world to clean your house to!

Please check out the live version of RUN LIKE HELL from the Pulse Concert, Earls Court, London.

I so wish you could have been there and experienced them playing LIVE . The music and the raw feeling just flowed THROUGH you.

Masters of sound

Listened to this half way up a mountain at Ajax Bay in the Falkland Islands with headphones on and not a sole about. Good memories.

One of many things that fascinates me about their music is the production quality, forget all this modern day digital bullshit. Also, I recommend you listen to David Gilmour's solo albums and you'll be in for a treat! 😎

I can sense you thinking..”Naah, now this is my new favourite “🤣

I always light up as well

the main reason "shine on you crazy diamond" was divided into parts 1-5 and 6-9 is because in 1975 there were no cds or mp3s,only vinyl albums and cassette tapes with limited time on each side. so the entire piece wouldn't fit onto one side of that form of media. having to split it up was the only way to put it out,but it helped tell the story of the "wish you were here" album.

Pink Floyd is gangster. Total ganster musically & instramentally!😊💥😎

love them both

You need to hear the song Have A Cigar. With a special guest singer. Off this same album. A fav of mine.

Just like 1 through 5, great reaction to a masterpiece! Thanks brother..... Again!

When I bought this album as a teenager in possibly the late seventies, I didn't understand the album art work...I do now!

Imagine Roger saying he doesn’t care for the instrumental parts. Yeah. I imagine them being about what Syd went through, and they’re spot on. Especially when the dual guitars cut your soul in half. Roger never got that, he only cared for his lyrics.

Welcome to the machine is another great song off this album

Tea is also an acceptable beverage to drink while you listen to Pink Floyd. Carry on.

7:32 that screaming, sliding sound was not a guitar. It's a lapsteel. If you like that I highly recommend 'one of these days ' from the 1994 PULSE tour. It's... similar to this, live, and utterly fantastic.

Happy to be the 1000 one to like your reaction, enjoy LSD with hash was the best way to enjoy this album....born in 1968

Can you believe what music is now and what it was...It is so shocking to see what happened.. I never thought it would be like this...I'm so grateful I grew up with this..AND I'm glad you are digging it brother✌

Oh you are doing a great job going down the PF rabbit hole, love you man 💕👍

This perfectly demonstrates the ability of music to speak to you without words and to evoke a range of emotions!

SOYCD VI-IX is a perfect track for Halloween time. ... Has a nice, "sinister" feel to it.

When i was in highschool in the late 90s we'd drop acid and listen to this album among others. Fried my brain every time. Still does, no LSD required!

It was early days for synthesisers Pink Floyd were masters

The unusual instrument at the end was a glass harp glasses filled with water and you rub your fingers around them neat sound

Awesome man! I've always thought it was better. Hits harder.

Pink Floyd, and progress rock in general, can be a gateway to classical music. This is because progressive rock bands used classical strategies of composing multi-part suites featuring theme and variation--which is more sophisticated than the standard three minute pop song.

Molly Boy, imagine having smoked a fair amount of the wacky tobacco before hearing this for the first time. That’s the way most us heard any Pink Floyd albums at 14-16 years old. It was Glorious!!!

As I said... even better. Now you know how.😊

Its all good, I lit up before you did LOL, you really should try and do album sides. Floyd is pretty much storybook albums so doing songs out of sequence does take away from your experience. Darkside of the Moon, do side one then the next day do side 2. You'll understand & appreciate it more. This really goes for many of their albums, anyway enjoy the vibes bro

You don't have to be high to listen to Pink Floyd. Their music will make you high. I honestly think it messes with your brain waves somehow and puts you in a really zen like trance. LOL.

Welcome to the Machine will blow your mind.

Have a piece of your special brownie, put your headphones on and let this take you far away 😂😂🤘

Check out 'Run Like Hell' Live from the PULSE concert 1994 (remastered)

This dropped in '75.

You’d love young lust Pink Floyd it’s just so much energy and it’s a lot more ‘rock’

Masterpiece

The greatest rock music hands down is by pink floyd, tool and led zeppelin. Shine on is quite the experience. Tool has 10,000 days wings pt2 Zeppelin have since I've been loving you. Album versions.

They're going to easy you in, then tear your socks off : ) You set that guy on fire with your square : )

If you haven’t done Great Gig in the Sky yet, that’s a must - the video from the Pulse tour is amazing. Also Run Like Hell, Time, Us & Them, really everything. But you must do Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish.

They EACH LET their instruments speak and communicate their message.
