Monica, I really enjoy your reactions. They seem, at least to me, the most genuinely honest. I'm an old man that doesn't get around like I used to, so I watch a lot of reactions to music I grew up listening to. I love seeing people discover it for the first time. I get that same feeling all over again when people like you have your first experience.

You don't just listen to Pink Floyd you experience them , They plant a thought in your subconscious, then let you feel it with the instrumental sections.

Greetings from Canada. You do realize (?) that this is the first half (Parts i - v) of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" that continues with (Parts vi- ix) next. Hint, hint. Nice job digging into this wonderful tune. Good on you. Peace, love and bellbottoms. btw those are Roman numerals for (1- 5) and (6- 9).

Thank you so much for doing this reaction... It was honest and true. What an experience. There is a second part to this musical composition: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX). It completes what you just heard which is Parts I - V. I'm sure you'll find it just as wondrous as this first half. Thanks again

This is one of my favorite tracks and I listen to it about once a week.

You were feeling that, loved it.

Pink Floyd is on another level altogether, every song is an Experience!

The sounds you hear in the very beginning and in the mid section are of an electric origin, those are achieved only through the usage of electric keyboard, something that Richard Wright learned to play to goddamn near perfection throughout his lifetime! I think he truly shines in this department during Pulse concert and their album from 1994 called the Devision Bell (Criminally underrated album btw...)

Every time you thought it was a trumpet except for the last solo it was Richard Wright on the Hammond Organ. The last "trumpet solo" was actually 2 different saxophones a tenor sax and a baritone sax being played by Dick Parry a session musician. This song has 4 more parts and as a whole it is supposed represent the life of a founding member of the band Syd Barrett. who ultimately had a breakdown and went insane due to his own genetics and a lot of LSD.

You should know this is just the first half of the song, parts 6-9 should be next. The two parts are the beginning and ending of the album Wish You Were Here 🔥

After you listen to parts 5 to 9, then watch and listen to the live version from Pulse, 1994.

BTW the very last bars on the album are actually Richard Wright on Keyboards playing a riff from "See Emily Play" an early Pink Floyd hit written by Syd.

New prescriber, just because you're listening to Pink Floyd.

I could not help but smile all the way thru watching your facial expressions and smiles. Enjoyed you all the way thru.

So "S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 1-5" is the opening to the album Wish You Were Here.

You what people mean when they say this is real music .. ? .... It's not just a drum machine playing the same beat with a bassline that just plays one note with some mumble rap over the top , Or some over produced pop record. It's real instruments playing off each other with counter melodies etc ... The music industry ruined the music industry haha , They've forced same repetitive generic stuff in the charts for years and the younger generation buy and listen to it because it's what their friends listen too so they just follow the crowd, So it's an endless cycle .... Just a thought. Great reaction, Much love from the UK ! x

I would recommend that you return to the Live Pulse concert and take a listen to, "The Great Gig in the Sky". It is preformed by the 3 female backup singers.

I´ll take the chance and hereby salute Mr. Adolphe Sax, the inventor of this beautiful instrument - the saxophone. Well done! And greetings to his homeland Belgium.

first solo is synthesizer next guitar solo and again synthesizer and guitar ... last solo is a sax - great reaction ... next step shine on you crazy diamond part six to nine

Good reaction.. 👍 The sound that confuses you is a keyboard set to a wind instrument like a clarinet sound. Or some instrument of that nature. Keep going 👍
