We just witnessed the birth of a Pink Floyd fan!! Welcome young man!! I've been digging Floyd for 50 years!!

back in the day we said "you don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, you need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs" (damn, I'm old!)

The genre of Pink Floyd is “Pink Floyd genre.” They’re their own thing.

One of the great things about Pink Floyd, is that the music pulls you in, but after you've heard it a couple of times you start paying attention to the lyrics and you realize, that's as awesome as the music is.

Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. You are in for the ride of your life. This song in 5 parts is to my mind the best of an unsurpassed catalogue of musical masterpieces from this one-of-a-kind band who are essentially a genre unto themselves. Dark Side of the Moon (1973) is one of the best-selling and most acclaimed albums of all time and should be listened to as one continuous piece of music, not as a collection of songs. It is widely considered the best rock album ever recorded. For live performances, choose anything from the 1994 Pulse concert (which includes a live performance of the entire DSOTM album), but in particular I recommend Comfortably Numb, Time, Sorrow, and Run Like Hell.

You have just knocked on the door of the planet Pink floyd. Welcome young padawan....

I'm 63, I've been a lifelong fan of this band, nothing short of the GOAT...of rock..and you'll hear this from a number of us...Floyd is one of those bands that you appreciate more by listening to the entire album, front to back...they tell incredible stories, that resonate even today and i's OK to have the lyrics so you can get the story......Rock ON!!

What makes this song hit hard is that syd randomly showed up during the production of this album after him ghosting for 5 years when he returned he was unrecognizable, overweight and bald, completely lost himself. After they found out it was syd , David and roger cried. That’s when the syd they knew died. That’s the last time they saw him and He would live the rest of his days wasting around in his home until he died in his 50’s haunted by his schizophrenia. To me this song is like someone you loved and looked up too fall from grace.

Pink Floyd is truly one of the best bands that ever was. I hope you continue with them.

And there is the second half of the song: parts 6 to 9.

Pink Floyd is not groove music where you bob your head or tap your foot , it's a totally different animal where you just sit back and listen and take it in . Then when you start understanding what the song is about it become even better

Meanwhile I'm 73 ... and have been a PF fan from their first album to date. ("And then you find 70 years have got behind you...." ) Isn't THIS the BEST INTRO EVER?? I think so! And each time I hear it, it's like the first time...

Syd was gone by the end of Pipers at the Gates of Dawn. Read up on this: it’s HOW Syd was gone that prompted this piece (and a bunch of others). This is a love song to that one man. They missed him. But then so did everyone else.

Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics and a Dave Gilmour with No Shirt 😂 Dave Gilmour Lead Guitar / Vocals Roger Waters Bass Guitar / lyrics Richard Wright Keyboards / Vocals Nick Mason Drums

Three hundred years from now there will be some guy listening to Pink Floyd for the first time and will be blown away on how timeless this music really is.

I have no idea how many times I played this track in my bedroom, those of us who grew up as teenagers in the 70’s&80’s were truly blessed& so so lucky ❤️🙏

Most of us have been fans for decades and watching your reaction was quite fun. Play the albums completely from front to back.

Pink Floyd transported me to the other side in 1978 at age 16 and now at 60 they’re still my favorite band of all time.

Listening to Pink Floyd for the first time is like touching a nerve you didn't know you had.

Welcome to Pink Floyd. One of the greatest music you can listen to. If you like their music and you want to get the full experience then I propose you listen to album versions and to the live versions of each song. Pink Floyd music is an experience when you get the visuals on stage and they always performe their music in highest quality. I wish you a great experience with that music and hope to watch more reactions from you with this band.

Echoes - Live at Pompeii. They played to the empty amphitheatre in Pompeii Italy, in 1972. It's incredible

I always thought the twin sax solo close out was a reflect of Syd’s bipolar nature-there’s kind of a low melancholy, then an almost joyous chaos of melody, then it kinda just wavers between the two before a full breakdown. And I have every reason to believe that’s intentional. They put SO much work into their music.

Fifty years ago - turn down the lights, burn some candles & incense, have some drinks, smoke a joint or two, and put Pink Floyd's"Dark Side of the Moon" on the stereo. No TV, no phones (no cells then), little convo, just chill. Escape into the album and enter another world. Damn man, those were good times! You know what? I still do it. I'm pleased when Gen X, Gen Z, Millennials, and whoever discover this music.

sorrow from the pulse concert.

Best Guitar solo ever, "Pulse" video, Comfortably Numb

Watching you made me remember an old saying.. "You do not need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, but you need Pink Floyd to fully enjoy drugs"

I can only imagine what it must be like to hear Pink Floyd for the first time, you are on the ride of your life 🙏

You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd. You need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs.

Hey man pink floyd have been around for fifty odd years of my life and I'm 73 I've been a fan right from the beginning and I still can't get enough it's like a fantastic musical drug crazy diamond is a tribute song to an original band member who unfortunately took some acid back in the day and fried his brain obviously before that he was a very young and very talented guy who nows what might have been they honour him to this day pink floyd are the undisputed masters of progressive rock their unique style of music composition and lyrics were way ahead of time I count myself very fortunate to have been on this planet longer than most and have and still have the supreme pleasure of listening to them great reaction from you keep looking playing and enjoying the best there is pink floyd no question

SORROW, 1994 Pulse concert. My favorite live performance of all time. Try LEARNING TO FLY, HIGH HOPES and COMFORTABLY NUMB all from their 1994 concert. You will be amazed how great they sound live!! David Gilmours guitar just oozes emotion with every note. He will make you feel things like never before. Just love these guys, been listening to them for 45 years....NEVER gets old. I listen to them EVERY DAY. Loved the reaction and how shocked you were by what you heard. Keep going!!

Masterpiece from a masterful band. Pink Floyd doesn't rush their songs, they unfold naturally.

Pink Floyd is highly regarded as one of the GOATs in Rock History! Although their sub-category is Progressive Rock, or Psychedelic Rock, they're still a Rock Band at heart, a Blues based Rock Band. Pink Floyd is Legendary, an Experience! Their music has been known to have a trance like effect on some people, their music takes the listener on a cerebral journey. They are known for their spacey sonic experiments, and lengthy songs with deep lyrics, and elaborate live performances. Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1964, they have sold over 250 million albums worldwide, one of the most ever. Their "Dark Side of the Moon" album, released in 1973, has the record for most weeks on "Billboards Top 100 Albums of All Time" list,... for 917 weeks,... that's almost 18 years!

This is by far my favorite song of all time and it brings tears to my eyes to hear you say "...it's gotta be the one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life" as a first listen to Pink Floyd.

The song is a sad but beautiful lament for their lost bandmate Syd

This is one of the best songs you will ever listen to. And I will let you in on a Pink Floyd Fan Secret. You will always get goose bumps listening to Floyd.

They wrote this song for Syd Barrett, who wound up with severe mental health troubles VERY early on in the group. He had been very charismatic, & apparently everybody wanted to be around him. You've GOT to watch Comfortably Numb live from the PULSE concert. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get the Blu-ray! I couldn't BEGIN to count how many times I've watched it! LOL!!! David Gilmour is absolutely a musical genius, & sadly we lost Rick Wright to colon cancer, but he was a musical genius as well! David was on lead vocals and guitar. Rick was the incredible pianist/keyboard player. They were phenomenal together. David Gilmour put out an album several years ago called "On an Island", and every single song is just gorgeous!! Welcome to the music from when I was in H.S.!! I grew up in the most phenomenal time ever for music!!

pink is the best band that ever existed ....glad you liked em .....genius move to smoke or drop first because then you will love all of it .

I am a 60 years old Guy from Germany, and addicted to Pink Floyd since i was 14. And Shine on has been my Intro in Pink Floyd. And scraped my Money together to buy their records. This music they created is a drug and makes me feel every note until today.

57 yesterday, my first smoke happened in 1978. My oldest brother bought this album when it first came out. Was just a kid listening. Still do

Growing up listening to PINK FLOYD NOW AGED 66 I AM STILL LISTENING TO PINK FLOYD 👍👍👍

You'll get a lot of suggestions now mate haha highly recommend to you Comfortably Numb from the album The Wall, followed by the live version Pulse 1994. Blows your mind

You should start with "The Dark Side of the Moon" full Album its a good way to begin your Pink Floyd journey!

Oh, I GREW UP with FLOYD! BLACKLIGHT AND LASERS! Beanbag chairs puff puff, and CHILL! THOSE WERE THA DAYS! 😁🤣🤣🤣✌️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶💯 SUBBED for MORE! Oh, in the 70s...acid was a MUST with this music! Just sayin!🤷‍♀️😵‍💫🥴🤣🤣🤣😎

The song right after that is hard too bro.. matter of fact, that whole album "Wish You Were Here" is a classic as well as their albums "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Animals", & "The Wall" 🔥🔥🔥 reacting to PF will give your channel numbers the boost you're looking for too 👌🏿

My uncle used to sit back smoke a joint and chill he got me into Pink Floyd love it

Dawg these videos are so meaningful to me because it feels like I'm sharing music I love and respect so much with another person and they're actually enjoying it! I'm seriously pumped up seeing you enjoy this masterpiece. I literally have "shine on you crazy diamond" tattooed on my hand lol Roger Waters is unreal!

you listen to music , you experience pink Floyd

Diving down this rabbit hole at the bottom of a rabbit hole... "Buckle up your seat Dorethy coz Kansas is about to go bye bye!"

The at the time of this song the band is David Gilmour on lead guitar and vocals, Roger Waters on bass guitar and appears on vocals too, Nick Mason on drums, and Richard Wright on keyboard/synth. This song and album is about former lead singer Syd Barrett who left because of mental health and drug abuse.

Pink Floyd "The Wall" movie. Imagine a full movie that is an album and each scene/song is it's own music video that tells a complete story but better because I can't put it into words.

They were ahead of their times, and still are.

love how you stop in the middle of the song and say its the greatest song you've ever heard. yep

do the rest of the album. You won't regret it. 😎 🎸🎶🔥

This was the first piece on the "Wish You Were Here" album....Much of their music was "Intended" to be listened to as an "Album" (from beginning to end) as opposed to one song at a time. This album ends with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond parts VI-IX"...

The best song you heard in your life? You haven't even stepped near the rabbit hole yet! That is the truth! Pink Floyd may become your favorite band before long! Check out the whole Pink Floyd "Pulse" concert in 1994, between the music and the light show 🎶, it will blow your mind! Thank you!

this song is about Syd, who left the band early on, to be replaced by David Gilmour, their main vocalist and lead guitarist

Best album. Ever. Looked a lifetime and have yet to find anything as perfect. Play it for every person you know who hasn't heard it - to keep it going!

David Gilmour's voice with lead vocals & lead guitar is so unique,all of the band are awesome.

It's hard to suggest a Pink Floyd song because they're all so great, but the second half of this song is a good next step. It rocks.

They played this video on a 30-ft circular screen which is one of their standard things they do during live shows while they were playing this song back in 1977 during their "in the flesh" tour! Talk about blowing people's minds way before MTV videos they were doing videos while they played! The lead singer is David Gilmour as well as the lead guitarist. Then you have Roger Waters the bass player other singer and Main lyricist. Then we have Rick Wright another vocalist and the keyboardist and finally Nick Mason the drummer! Those four guys were able to come up with all that sound in the analog era of recording music with no computerized help!! For another song like this one try "Echoes" Pink Floyd live in Pompeii 1972! And then you have to try either the song "TIME" or " Us and Them" both from their album Dark Side of the Moon!!!! Last comment here when you think you have them pegged as to what you think they're going to sound like the next song will always surprise you!! And if you want something really angry sounding try one of the three long songs on their Animals album!!

Try to check out the LIVE version of this song at the PULSE CONCERT. The song is much shorter, but really worth watching.

My kind of reactor. Im 58 and doing just wjhat you are! Bought the album when it came out!

Wish i could hear it for the first time again. Enjoy...

Richard Wright on all those keys.

yo,lean into this music...it's sonic bliss

Thank you for doing this reaction. About to watch...hoping you enjoyed it. There is a second part to this song and it can be found by searching you tube for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX)

Mate, this was great! When you sparked up I thought this guy's on exactly the right wavelength! It's awesome that you've discovered the Floyd, enjoy the rest of the journey fella!

I wander along the long and winding road of the musical universe, picking up shiny pieces here and there and always come back to Pink Floyd

Pink floyd is the G.O.A.T.

Watched an interview with Dave Gilmore about how he came up with those 4 iconic notes in the song. He showed how he created a shape with his playing hand and moved it up and down the fretboard experimenting with the sound. Every other position the notes just sounded like 4 notes. When he hit this position, the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up lol And so the song was born.

OMG!! I’ve listened to Floyd for years and just noticed it like the instruments are talking to each other.

Sid was long gone by the time this song was written

Thank you for the privilege of seeing your 1st time reaction of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. This entire album isn't just music, it's Sonic Art. You don't just listen to it, you feel and experience it. Welcome to the fold. I hope to see you react to Dogs from the Animals album, and One Of These Days from Meddle, both are awesome as well.

I still remember the first time I listened to this album. I was 17, it was late '1980s, I just got the CD and played it on the stereo set we had in the living room. I was alone at home and it was trippy as hell even without a joint or any other substance. Pure magic came out of the speakers. I just had to listen to it over and over. Almost 35 years have gone by and this music still gives me goosebumps.

I can still see the the tumbling leaf man.........Saw them in Chicago , Soldier field 1977. My 2nd ever concert. Unforgettable . What a blessing to have had the music we had. Lil J. Go get yourself some Black Sabbath , RUSH , Yes , and some Zepplin for good measure.

Comfortably Numb, Sorrow or Learning to fly or Run like he'll Pulse concert, you will be blown away, your right it's an experience, I've been listening to them for 50yrs and I'm sure they will be listening in 50yrs from now, can't wait for some more reactions 😀

Enjoy the ride. You’re gonna have a blast.

Floyd is definitely the band to smoke a little or drink a little something and then just float away to! They are absolute masters of making you feel something just through instrumentation.

This song is about their ex band member Syd Barrett and how he blew his mind out with acid but he had so much potential and was a genius as far as a musician 🎸🎸🎸

Psychedelic Progressive Rock!!! Welcome!!!

Young man. You just started the best journey you could haver done. Enjoy the ride and listen to the lyrics closely as well as the music. This is a 1 of a kind ride that has no equal.

Imagine hearing this 50 years ago. I was in my early teens. Still listening to it - full volume and high!

I still have and listen to my original copy of Dark Side Of The Moon that I bought in the early 70s.Floyd will never disappoint and leave you wanting more.Great stuff from the greatest decade of music.

My first musical memory is of listening to Dark Side of the Moon at the age of 5, in 1973 just after the release of the album - my older brother and his friend were listening to it while hanging out. They have been my favorite band since that day 50 years ago. I'm so glad to see you enjoying listening to them. I agree with many other posters here - seems like you're now one of us ...Floydians for life.

man youre in for some good shizz

Welcome to Pink Floyd the best band 🎶 ever. Live is awe inspiring you rock cry and totally FEEL THE MUSIC 🎶 The Wall live was my favorite Pink Floyd concert ❤ You have to smoke a fatty and just kick back and jam. David Gilmour makes the guitar talk 😊

been listening to pinkfloyd 40 yrs ...great to see someone appreciate good music. please continue "J" yes sir smoke if u desire my man...their music is trippy without one or two...yes indeed i look forward to ur next reaction "TIME''

Pink Floyd is a staple in our "old" lives (I'm 66) as you can tell by other's comments. As someone suggested, you need to hear entire albums, not just one or two songs off of them. Start with Meddle (1971), Dark Side of the Moon (73), Wish You Were Here (75), Animals (77), The Wall (79), A Momentary Lapse of Reason (87)..... THEN.... go back to their beginnings started in 1965 and listen to their first 4 albums which lays the groundwork for what they've become. They are still touring today (2023). Enjoy the Ride!!!

This is the sound track of my youth. W/ Queen & Bob Marley, and many more...

In the summer of 2020, early July. Glorious day, small puffy clouds moving slowly and space in between for warm sun. Played "echoes" got on my floatie, hit the deep end and circled there for 20 plus minutes. Just an amazing day.

41 now, and I have absolutely loved PF since I was around 14

Pink Floyd are brilliantly different.

Pink Floyd Echoes parts 1 and 2, live in Pompeii. It will allow you to see the band in raw form in a remarkable, historic amphitheater and no audience other than the film crew.

My dog used to howl every this intro came on! God bless you Brucey bulldog.

There is nothing today like Floyd, Yes, Rush, Genesis, Crimson and other prog rock bands. The works produced by pure talant are next-level.

Welcome to the Floyd! Life is cooler... Tony.

Classic line -- "don't mind if i do". Brilliant.

Your joy in listening to this song is joy to me to know that you have been bitten by floyd, and it's too late you are hooked. You are going to have some wonderful eperiences. Enjoy. The early stuff from 67 to 70? is experimental music that dwelves into the bizzare but totally enjoyable. Just saw Nick Mason doing his thing in Toronto. It was a time machine taking me back to the UFO CLub in London in the 2nd half of the sixities. I never thought I'd be able to experience that, thank You Nick Mason for touring North America.

if you think about it pink floyd were not afraid of doing things slowly until they have you in their rabbit hole, pretty amazing stuff, so glad we have pink floyd for life, this album was my first ever experience with pf and im glad for it. they made me have patience best album ever imo
