It's not an extended version, actually the opposite. The complete studio version (parts 1-5 and 6-9) is over 25 minutes 🙂

Thanks Lee. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 It's a tribute to Syd Barrett, who left the band in 1968. David and Syd where good friends going way back. Syd had some mental and chemical issues that started to ruin his life 😔😔 In total, all 9 parts of the song take up about 25 minutes on the album They are showing parts of the videos on the circular screen, that went with the songs. Precursor to music videos David Gilmour plays a pretty good saxophone himself. He has played it some of his concerts

The song was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to Pink Floyd founder 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

S(hine on) Y(ou crazy) D (iamond); Syd Barrett

Just brilliant!!!!

Great reaction thanks Lee.This was some of the best music of my childhood and a pivotal point in my life that led me to a lifetime of music.💜

The entire song (all 9 parts, and "Wish You Were Here") is a tribute to founding member Syd Barrett. Others have chronicled this below - Syd was only part of the band for an album and a half before he lost control and was dismissed, initially aided by, and then ultimately replaced by David Gilmour. Frankly, PF would have never become the incredible group they did if Syd had still been at the forefront. A sad state of affairs, but inevitable with his ever increasing mental issues.

"There's no words yet..." Mate, the guitar has been singing to you for five minutes now :)

When Pink Floyd were doing the final touches to this song for the album, Wish You Were Here, a bald fat man with no eyebrows turned up at the studio. No one knew who it was. Turns out it was Syd Barrett. Unrecognisable. Syd Barrett and Roger Waters were the driving forces of early Pink Floyd. They brought David in to help out as Syd became more erratic. I think they only ever recorded one song with the 5 of them

I was 7 months pregnant with my first son in ‘87 when I saw Pink Floyd for the first time, we watched my stomach as much as the stage because our baby was almost constantly moving to the music. After he was born Pink Floyd was the music that soothed him and 36 years later it still does. I also got to see them in ‘88, both shows were in Dallas, Texas. Still the most amazing concerts I’ve ever seen!!!

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is about co-founding Pink Floyd member in 1964, Syd Barrett. Barretts' story is a tragic one, his massive abuse of LSD and other mind-altering drugs led to a mental breakdown that left him unable to function as a human. Only four years later in 1968, because of his inability to perform or even hold a coherent conversation, he was forced to leave the band. His good friend and friend of the band, David Gilmour, took over Barretts duties as guitarist and lead singer of Floyd. The acronym of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond",... SoYcD,... spells SYD, if you take the 1st, 3rd, and 5th letters of the title. Pink Floyd made many, many references to Barrett over the years, their "Wish You Were Here" album in 1975 is all about Syd Barrett, as well as the song too.

This is not as long as the studio version, which is stunning, and actually contains part of the last movements. On the album, the two parts are at either end of the tracks. The songs segue into each other, giving the feeling of being timeless. Edit: there's never an intro from Pink Floyd. It starts from the beginning, it's ALL music.

This song is a tribute to syd Barrett! A band member that ended up in a mental institution!

great reaction,theres lots of great pink floyd songs for you to react to, id recommend the live versions of "TIME" or "ON THE TURNING AWAY", im sure that you will enjoy both of these aswell asmany others

gilmour...legend

The Pulse, Comfortably Numb is even better mate 👌

Loved your reaction bro! Try Sorrow from the same Pulse concert 1994. Gilmour will blow your mind.

Aaw, Syd. Gone but not forgotten. The Cambridge Cut people!

No, this is the shortened, slightly faster tempo version of the studio album song. The Pulse version is good - (for me) the studio version is incredible.

Pure pleasure ❤

This consert (Pulse) must have been really something, imagine sitting there 🤩. Great musicians, amazing light show! Shine on you... - classic, but my favourite is One Of these days... 🎧

Watch a documentary about early Pink Floyd and you’ll understand the song.

Ascolta la versione di studio . SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND PART 1/5 e poi insieme 6/9...Non preoccuparti della lunghezza perché con ciò che è bello e far star bene il tempo non conta

If you’ve not done Sorrow from the pulse concert it’s worth a listen

It’s about Sid Barret

Let’s go Baz!!! ✌️😊🔥

From the same Pulse collection, please check out SORROW, and also RUN LIKE HELL.

If you understand music they are in anguish and sorrow and remorse over having to let Syd go due to mental issues as well as too much LSD

Damn Lee, lot of hate in the comments. I think you are doing a fantastic job. PF, is a great band now that im older and appreciate finer music. But when i was younger didn't carr much for them. If you get a song on 1st listen its not a good song ...

❤I LOVE YOU❤ FOR GIVEING ME ROBUX❤😂🎉

When you're done cutting every 2 minutes maybe we can listen to the whole song?

Always a bad idea to going with the live firet than the album. You miss out on so muxh that isnt in the live version

Music is music. It doesn’t matter whether it uses vocals or not. Why obsess over vocals, as though the music “hasn’t started” until somebody sings? It’s a whole trip. Not just the vocal parts, for godsake.

Spoiled it a bit with to much chit chat

I had to cut this one loose. Can't believe people are actually complimenting you on this reaction. And yes, it *does* sound like you're complaining when you're interrupting every 2 minutes to give a countdown of how long the instrumental part has been going. Pink Floyd is not all about lyrics. They are brilliant composers and musicians... something you don't seem to have the patience for. And no this is not an extended version, in fact it's somewhat shortened. Apparently not short enough for you. smh You might want to move on.

Dude you pause way too much! Don't give us that copyright BS! DH!

Man , the saxophonist just swapted .... some other vidéos, you can clearely see him switch. Its so beautiful and magicfull at the same time .....
