Makes me feel like we're passing the torch of our sacred music to a new generation. Incredible.

You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it.

Watching younger people getting turned on to Floyd makes me wish I could go back and hear it for the first time all over again. But on the other hand, I’ve heard these songs so many times that they just feel like and old friend come to call. Breathtaking, is it not?

This song was written for Syd Barrett, one of original band members that they had to leave behind due to drug problems and mental problems. They never forgot him and this shows that. Not only were these guys musical geniuses but their lyrics are always pretty deep. Longtime PF fan here and glad to see you enjoy and grow in great music. Great review, always like seeing the faces of the younger generations when they hear this band and especially this masterpiece of a song! Looking forward to next review!

Yeah man you get it now. One does not just listen to Pink Floyd, one experiences Pink Floyd.

Never apologize for getting lost in the vibe and taken away by Pink Floyd. That is exactly what us Floyd fans come for and hope to see. You are discovering that time loses all meaning when listening to Pink Floyd. Whether 10, 15, or 20 minutes, Floyd will take you on a musical journey and leave you a little disoriented but oh so satisfied at the end. Suggest "Dogs" from their 'Animals' album next. All 17+ minutes of it. Good job!! 👍👍

It’s such a pleasure to watch someone get “ into” Pink Floyd and even more so when they seem so “ tuned in “ that instrumentals “ speak” to them ….I’m afraid there is no hope for you now …we’ve got you …

Those of us ‘of a certain age’ grew up with patience and attentiveness that is sadly missing in many of today’s youth. We listened…we relaxed…we waited. The spaces are just as important as the fill. Kind of ‘Zen-like’ without even knowing it. I’m glad you enjoyed it. This and Dark Side are my two fave albums. It’s part of your British heritage, my man!

I love Pink Floyd's long intros. They're masters at setting a mood before hitting you with the lyrics. Some people don't enjoy the suspense. You gotta just lay back and let this one wash over you. It's nice to see a young person such as yourself appreciating Pink Floyd. 🤘🏽💗

Dark room, Floyd in your earphones, spliff, glass of scrumpy.... HEAVEN xxx

I honestly think David's guitar playing in this song is his best. There is so much feel in it

almost all Pink Floyd songs take you on a journey, and almost all of them tell a story without words, David Gilmours guitar alone grabs your soul and tries to talk to it, its one of the things I love the most about their music, its so full of expression even when theres no words

A masterpiece. This is HALF the song. There are still parts VI through IX 😀

"Sorry if I didn't talk too much", my man, you have cracked it, that was a perfect reaction

This song live at Pulse is purely a multimedia masterpiece.

Saw 'em in a small venue with Sid..blown away with the light show & the sounds..must've been the acid I'd taken ..am 83 years old..still loving it all. 60s were MAGIC !!

This song will take you places- make you hear colors-without drugs

Everything about Pink Floyd is genius. Music, lyrics, album concepts, concerts, singing, album covers, etc, etc. So glad you enjoy them. Great reaction!

I love this song, I'm 53 and in my teens I freaking LOVED Syd Barrett so this song always gets me as it's about him, the whole story of his mental heath is so heart-breaking, I love that they wrote this song for their friend, it shows so much love and respect.

I the 70's, MSU would Play Pink Floyd at the Planetarium. Groovy way to listen to Pink Floyd.

David Gilmore doesn't just play guitar, he somehow manages to put his very heart and sould and lifes blood into his performance. This whole album was a tribute to their early bandmate Syd Barret who succombed to the pressures of stardom and drugs to become completely detached from reality. Strangly enough he showed up in studio while they were recording and none of his bandmates recognized him for a while until he started asking where his guitar was.

Dude, there is nothing boring about watching someone enjoy great music. I was just as lost in it as you and I've heard the song countless times in my life. Great reaction, Man✌

Feel so lucky to have grown up when Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Genesis, Deep Purple etc were making new music and I was able to take it onboard. Always taking on new stuff eg The Police, Dire straits, Sex Pistols, as each decade progresses. Pearl Jam, INXS .... you can see the pattern. Never let the good stuff go, so by now I have a HUGE musical collection, but I think the music of my teens as a special place

You've experienced the beautiful feeling when music takes you on a journey to new worlds in your mind.

PINK FLOYD does that to EVERYONE!!! ❤❤ I wouldn't call it boring - I'd call it enjoying the depth of the music, talent, and lyrics of a phenomenal band...as many will say: Pink Floyd is not to be listened to: it's to be EXPERIENCED!! GREAT REACTION! CHEERS!

Sorry but . . . you haven't heard your favorite Pink Floyd song yet. It's ALWAYS . . . the next song.

I feel I am in the spaceship travelling to the universe when I listen to the Pink Floyd.

My absolute favorite Pink Floyd song.

Great reaction! Enjoyed watching your interest grow! Parts 6-9 are also amazing! Arguably even better

The masters of painting sonic pictures. Everything is intentional and perfectly placed. Every song is a piece of art.

My friend, listening to Pink Floyd is never a boring one. Welcome to Floyd nation, I think you get it. Cheers!

Probably the most iconic 4 notes in guitar history.

God, I love Pink Floyd. This is the thing about rock n roll. It brings you to emotions you never knew you had or even knew existed. When I really need to feel I go to Pink Floyd..

I really love Pink Floyd's Young Lust. Def has an edgier feel.

This song was written years after the song’s subject, their original singer, lost his mind due to Schizophrenia and lots of LSD. He went home and lived with his parents, significantly disabled, for many decades to come until he died. The craziest thing is, he randomly turned up at the studio, years after anyone had seen him, confused, weird and almost unrecognisable - literally while they were recording this song about him…. Talk about a mindfuck

Great to see younger people enjoy these oldies just like we did back then

Every Pink Floyd song will be your new favorite😊

Dude....this was me and my wife's wedding music we had playing while signing the register...that's how much it means to us.❤

Pink Floyd demands long attention spans. Like many of their contemporaries they delve into Classical and Jazz formats and merge them with rock and blues. This entire album is an example. Nice reaction :)

Looks like we have a nother Pink Floyd fan.👍👍👍👍🇨🇦

Looking forward to pts 6-9, which I personally think are just a skosh better. All of it is beautiful, though. Pink Floyd never fails. 🤘🏽💗

Im 63 and have heard this song several times but it still just pulls you in every single time! Im so happy you younger generation are discovering " our " music! Now i hope you can understand how we think most of today's music sucks? Its not music! Its all computerized and they are not musicians at all. Great reactions ❤❤❤

Welcome my son, Welcome to the machine!

Listen to the whole Pulse Concert live performances.....you will be utterly blown away!!

Deeper and deeper the Pink Floyd rabbit hole goes, I'm really enjoying following you on your journey my friend, 🙂 God Bless

Thanks so much for reacting to this one. Just want to say before I watch that there is a second part to this: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX)" You definitely would want to listen to that one if you like this one.

I used to wake up to this every morning! It makes a great intro to the day if you have a timer on your sound system!! Put the kettle on when the key changes at the beginning (8.00), and when the tempo changes (15.00) it's time to finish coffee and get moving!!

Wait until you hear parts VI-IX. They're even better, IMO.

Great reaction to one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs, so glad you enjoyed it too

I have always found this number to be breathtaking ….. shivers down the spine stuff.

This always bring tears to my eyes, my crazy diamond was my dad, who introduced me to all of this. First gig was Pink Floyd animals at Battersea .

I can't believe you got to experience Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond AND Metallica - Orion the same day. That's like winning a lottery jackpot. Another great instrumental by Pink Floyd is Marooned.

This has always been my favorite!! Never ever gets old Damn what a tune ❤❤❤ Love it soo much

Seen Floyd many times over the decades and its always a treat. I just hate that so many reactors who are now experiencing the music of these bands dont really have a shot to see them anymore. If they do come around tickets will not be cheap for these bands. Anyway, that is the album cover for Wish You Were Here, they have 2 versions ofthe cover. I have them both on vinyl.

Listening in slack-jawed wonder is a perfectly appropriate way to react to Pink Floyd!

I told you you would love this tribute to Syd.

Try 'Run like hell' from the Pulse concert. The beginning is special with David making such great guitar sounds, and then the violent ending. Such a great song. My friend told me 'you are very patient' when listening to Floyd. You have to be-they give you such incredible stories and sounds and the buildups in the beginning, their solos, their long and drawn out songs ARE what make them so special.

Comfortably Numb live performance from Pink Floyd Pulse concert in London - with guitar solo by Dave Gilmour rated by many people as the best guitar solo ever.

Wish You Were Here is my favourite Pink Floyd album. Every song on it is famous. And SOYCD is, in my opinion, one of the best things ever recorded. It's often written that it was dedicated directly to Syd Barrett, but all the members deny it. Roger Waters says in an interview that it was inspired by the story of their friend and founder of Pink Floyd. I don't know if anyone has written this before, but I must mention a well-known story connected to this recording: when Pink Floyd recorded this track at Abbey Road studios in London on June 5, 1975, Syd Barrett had not been with them for over seven years. In the middle of the recording, a chubby, balding, eyebrowless guy appeared in the studio, wearing canvas pants and a tank top and holding a plastic bag. At first no one paid him any attention, but after a while David Gilmour says: "For God's sake, do you know who that is?". No one recognized him. "It's Syd!" He's changed so much in that time (to give you an idea - Syd used to be an incredibly handsome dashing and vital young man). Everyone was taken aback and couldn't believe it. They exchanged just a few sentences and then he left without saying goodbye. Roger and David burst into tears. Here on KZfaq are some videos in which they remember Syd (not only Pink Floyd). It's interesting to watch them just to get an idea of what a great musician, performer, composer and musical experimenter he was. It's speculation, of course, but in reality he may have been a megastar...

If you like that version watch the Live Performance and then you'll be BLOWN AWAY

When I listen to this song... so do my neighbors... without complaint. Songs like this made them my top favorite band .... since I was a child in 1968. I'm 60 now and still consider them my band

I was aged 15 when 'Wish You Here' came out and I couldn't get to the record shop quick enough. Also, it was the first album I'd heard in headphones and I can't think of anything better to hear in cans, it blew me away! And another thing - I heard about its release through hearsay and not like todays multi-media hype

It's nice to know that you have become such a fan of Pink Floyd. I've been a fan for 50 years . So cool to be able to share this moment.

I've really enjoyed your Pink Floyd reactions so far, i've been listening to Floyd for about 45 years now. Us Floydians' are a big family and we like nothing more than to watch other people, young and old, discover, in my opinion, the best band ever. You're digging a bit deeper now, and i hope you realise this is a one way ticket😉 it's onwards and upwards from here with so much more great music to listen to and enjoy. Another great reaction✌

I believe this song is in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest rock ‘n’ roll song before the first word is spoken.

I've just stumbled on your channel. I get a real buzz out of watching youngsters react to Floyd, the band I grew up listening to. Most are positive and for good reason, they understand the musical and lyrical quality entering their brain and soul. I see from your reaction that you get it man. Get on board the Floyd train, it's so good for the soul. Good luck with your channel amigo. 🌻🙏

Just one thing to say my friend you are listening to Pink Floyd the greatest progressive rock band ever to exist in the world.

Candy Dufler the sax girl!

The reason Pink Floyd have long introductions to their songs is because they can

Dave Gilmour is one of the all time greatest guitarists Seen Floyd about a dozen times and they never let you down

Fantastic reaction. Welcome to The world of Pink Floyd. Keep Rockin'🎸 RONNIE Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Don't think in terms of "introduction " and verses and such. This is a rock symphony in movements. Each section is meant to be equally significant as part of the larger work. And this song is part of the larger cohesive work of "Wish You Were Here."

One time, when I had a longer commute, I was driving home from work on the freeway. This song was on, and it was like slow motion, a shooting star goes across the sky right in front of me. Honestly, it was such a magical moment.

Pink Floyd the cerebral poets of rock ‘n’ roll

I was born in 1960, so i heard all these great songs when they came out, your first time reactions brings me back and is fun to watch, now seeing you not want to comment during the song is normal and the thing to do, the music is so good, to stop and commment is unbalansing the rythm of the song, it's great that now youre reacting at the end, I enjoy watching your face reactions during the songs, and some comments without stopping, yes, 70's music is the best, enjoy.

Loved your reaction. I felt the same way when my cousin had me listen to this back in 1975. Been addicted to Floyd ever since. The greatest band ever.

You make a old Floydian of over 50 yrs smile& make me happy, Bravo 👏👏👏🥰

The band that launched a million trips. Peace ✌️

This song is about Syd Barrett Pink Floyd's first singer and leader.

I've watch several of your reactions and it was this one that made me subscribe. Your doing a great job, both you and your girlfriend. For context I'm a 60 year old man and lived this music in real time. I spent all my money on records and stereo equipment and would sit and listen for hours every day and night with me and some good buddies in my room. The only portal back then for discovery was word of mouth or a good FM radio station. We didn't have video and would stare at the album artwork and liner notes. I feel I grew up in the greatest era of music and lifestyle.

Parts 6-9 are even better!

When they were recording this they noticed someone standing in the back of the studio. A man with a shaved head and eyebrows also very heavy. Then one of the guys recognized him, it was Syd. I'm assuming you know his story.

I truly love this album. It is emotional to me. I know the story about Syd.

My favourite album written in honour of Syd. Just an aside the man on fire on the cover was actually set on fire as no computers in 1975. Represents being burned by the music industry. Keep up the good work

I just found your channel and your reaction to my favorite Pink Floyd song ever was so satisfying. Watching you take the journey with the song was like hearing it for the first time all over again. Who needs lyrics with that guitar? And when the lyrics do begin, oh my. What a wonderful tribute to Syd.

This song actually does tell a story. This is basically the story of Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd’s first guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. Although Pink Floyd would obviously go onto vastly higher levels of commercial success after breaking with Syd, so much of their inspiration and their innovative spirit would never have been were it not for Syd. I think Roger knew this, and so after the success of “Dark Side Of the Moon”, he chose to pay homage to Syd , who is the longest song in the catalogue, “Shine On , You Crazy Diamond”- which also happened to be their most important tune, as well. (Well, I always have a hard time with this one; I know they’re best song is either this one, or “Echoes”, and I could play devils advocate with myself all day as to, which is actually the best song, or the “most important song“, which could be viewed as two separate things. I am not going to play this game. I will say that Syd Barrett was one of my teenage idols, especially after I personally discovered LSD, and so I am touched by an homage like this one.

Bravo 👏 And the second half of this is arguably even better 😊

Luv how you appreciate good music from back in the day ❤

I've heard this song 100 times and i never new it was in parts...

Now it's on to Parts VI - IX... Part VIII is just over 2 minutes of the best Floyd you'll ever hear. Incredibly funky and just awesome to groove to.

I'm 68, and I listen to Pink Floyd every day still. Headphones on...at full volume. I am so happy to see a young man discover their music.! You need to watch the live albums...then you'll be totally blown away!

listened to this album at three paper volume a lot back in the day, brilliant record, brilliant band, brilliant memories - thank you

I love watching you react to these wonderful songs.....I was saying to you as you were watching and listening..... They bring it every time.....they never disappoint......shine on!

The entire album, Wish You Were Here, is good. Among my favorite Pink Floyd songs are "Welcome to the Machine", "Have a Cigar", "Wish You Were Here". Enjoy!

Pink Floyd is an album experience. You should listen from beginning to end.

If you like david gilmours guitar sound, listen to dogs off the animals record. Another masterpiece.

Pink Floyd were the first band I got into at the age of 10 bck when Dark Side was released (1973) It gives me great pleasure to see someone like you getting into the same music and having a broad enough mind to embrace old but brilliant music such as this. Nice one

the live video`s and official video`s are the best !!! this is good to

Pink Floyd's music creates an atmosphere to lose yourself in. Lots of nice layers and build up. I would lay back in my bean bag share with my head phones and travel. I feel so luck to have grown up with this music. If you do more research, you find that this song is about their founding band mate Syd Barrett that did too many drugs and had a mental break. Check out "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne" as very early songs.

Such an outstanding album. To me it is like he is speaking through his guitar....like Carlos Santana does. Sid, Sid, Sid. It's all about Sid.
