He says "one of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces..." Yeah, man..Meddle.. Hardcore only need apply...

In my mind, this is the first classic Pink Floyd song. This is where it all came together.

Drummer Nick Mason on the lone heartfelt vocal: "One of these Days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces"

The first bass is Gilmour, the second one coming in is Waters. Love early Floyd. Such a breakthrough album.

Meddle is a crucial album for Pink Floyd. It's where the definitive Pink Floyd sound can be found for the first time and it's the opening act of their MIGHTY albums run: Meddle DSOTM WYWH Animals The wall (Yeah let's pretend that OBC was never a thing). Echoes is definetely one of their best songs and probably one of the best songs of all time

The drummer Nick Mason's vocal debut!

Just such a great bass riff. Lead bass is always fun.

Production is off the charts

As others have said, seeing this performed live took it to another level. I saw their 1994 Division Bell tour in DC. When the full drum groove dropped midway through the song , massive inflatable pigs burst out of towers on both sides of the stage, along with huge pyro effects. We could feel the heat from the pyros while our clothes were rippling from the power of the bass. Full sensory experience!

The album cover is not a beach, it is someone's ear canal. Turn the photo 90 degrees. The water ripples are superimposed over the top of the photo. Wonderful album!

It's intensity fades perfectly, to bring you to "A Pillow Of Winds". Back then much attention was being paid to track selection on albums, which is why DSOM became one long Concert Piece

In my humble opinion “Meddle” is their finest…and that says a lot.

There’s a great version of One of these Days on the Live at Pompeii video. It really highlights Nick Masons work on the drums.

Fearless is my favorite cut off of this album. In a way it sounds like it could have come off of Led Zeppelin III

Enjoyed your reaction, as always. For anyone wanting to know the lyrics, "One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces".

You should have heard this at the show from one end of the arena to the other. Absolutely crazy 🤪

Every time I go skiing I put this on for my first run down the mountain

Pink Floyd - Buy the ticket, take the ride. That base holding it down is killer, then Gilmore just goes off. Their albums are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get (laugh). Great job guys - as always it's greatly appreciated.

Deep-cut Led Zeppelin and early Pink Floyd on the same day? It's another great morning here with Airplay Beats, ain't it? 🤘

A few times, in the early 1970s, a few of us UW students living in Haggett Hall, North Tower, Devoe House, would gather in this one guy's dorm room on a weekend night and listen to this entire record through his fine stereo system (great Bose speakers high on the walls thru, I think, a McIntosh amp). Plus lots of other great LPs of the time (a bunch of Moody Blues, for example). Great times.

This is the album where they found the sound that would define their legacy. Most of the stuff before this was experimental with not a lot of direction.

I’m really liking La’s Pink Floyd reactions. When you see his head start shaking no, you know he’s feeling every bit of it.

This is the track that made me a Floyd fan, this and "Echoes", well before "Dark Side of the Moon".. You guys are making very solid picks of songs to feature,

Song sounds like a hurricane approaching land and waiting to launch its fury! In other words, it sounds BADASS!!

Let me tell you guys, this song in concert, on Acid....well, I have no words to describe the feeling except that l'll never forget it for as long as l live🤟🤪🥰

When I was a teen ... long - long - time ago ... this track was played on British TV and the visuals were an animation ... for me they will always go together ... here is the youtube title ... give it a watch ... Tripping Man ! ... "Pink Floyd - One of These Days (‘French Windows’)"

The beginning of their classic period. You can hear hints of Animals and DSOTM in this one. 🔥

This is my favorite Floyd song, hands down💯

Wonderful choice! This is the first Pink Floyd album I bought years and years ago. You should listen to the entire album particularly side two 'Echoes'. I always thought that this album and 'Dark Side of the Moon' were their two finest albums!

My first Floyd album known as psychedelic Music....I think you get it!! Such a pivotal album for Floyd...this whole album is mind blowing!!!

First time hearing this, no headphones so a speaker on either side of my head, off my tits on quality Afghan hashish. Ah the 70's. Great days long gone. 65 now. Memories

That is one kick ass tune ! 50 years of loving the Floyd !

This is an incredible musical performance

This whole album is awesome! He says "ONe of these days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces" Great reaction to this track guys!

This was my first Pink Floyd LP. I bought it because of the cool LP cover. I found many good bands like this: Jethro Tull, Trapeze, Spirit, etc. 50 years ago Dark Side of the Moon came out. I was working on a golf course, smoking a natural weed, and watching a concrete mixer go round and round.

I've heard every Floyd up to the Final Cut several times. I feel like this is their best song. It has all the PF elements I like in a song.

First, the album cover art is a picture of a human ear, turned sideways, underwater. Also need to remember that this album came out in 1971, so the technology level was nothing like today, in fact, those buttons on keyboards and stuff to press for certain effects, were INVENTED in this era!! Not the buttons, but making those special effects. Watch live concerts from that time and SEE how bands back then got feedback from the amps and stuff. One of These Days from the movie Live at Pompeii, shows something I haven't seen anywhere else: the drummer, Nick Mason, actually loses a stick in the middle of playing this song, but grabs a spare so quickly, you can barely notice that he slipped up his fill (slightly) Unfortunately, the one drawback I find to this version, is that they somehow lost the track for Gilmour's guitar, and so you only hear it through what the other mics picked up, and it sounds so faint. Also, I have seen a video from mid '60's of Pink Floyd live. They had some kind of light projector (like for slide shows, or what profs used for pre-written lessons), but they had some kind of different coloured liquids not mixing, but flowing around and through each other, and THAT was projected on the group as they played. Pretty well the first light show I think. And they were known for their live shows, not them jumping around or doing anything outrageous, but the lights and sounds. I have seen them twice, and there never were, aren't any today, nor ever will be again, a group like Pink Floyd. EVERY NOTE, on every song, was EXACTLY as loud or soft as it had to be compared to every other note. This was one reason why their best albums took 2 years to record. But they were worth it, and still are worth it, 50 years later!! Fun fact: Dark Side of the Moon spent 952 WEEKS on the record charts!! Do the math! Over 19 YEARS!!!!!!

This is my all time fav Pink Floyd song. That i am going to cut you to little pieces is still my fav part. it just comes out of nowhere and than no more words.

David Gilmour!! 🔥🎸 There is nothing better than feeling the experience of PF live! They brought me to tears more than once! Incredible

THIS WAS THEIR FIRST RADIO HIT ! Years before Dark Side.

You guys really need to see the live Pulse version , takes on whole different feel. Amazing performance.

I heard this shortly after it was released. The LSD I had taken was in high gear, peak hour. Will never forget.

Certain songs I can literally see you guys minds expanded musically, THIS was one of those songs 💯

Yeah! This one, like Interstellar Overdrive, indicated where they were heading next.

This track is a tour de force to show off how boss Roger Waters was on bass, and then Gilmour on guitar. Searing live song I finally got to see in concert in 1987, and several times since. Psychedelic lights and strobes, just a mind melding track to witness live. It was so loud yet so tight, I remember thinking my head was going to explode! The live version goes on a lot longer, guitar jamming much more intense.

My very favorite Pink Floyd Album!

One of these days Is like listening to two songs at the same time

Love Meddle - probably my fave Floyd album. You need to check out this track on the "Live at Pompeii" video. There's a great multi-camera/multi-angle shot of Nick Mason losing a drumstick and recovering w/o missing a beat - it's pretty epic.

Released in 1971 and this song was released as a single

Rick Wright definitely loved Doctor Who. He plays a bit of the theme tune in this track and on Animals.

The voice in the middle is saying "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces!"

“Psychedelic doodling” they called it.

If you guys enjoy Pink Floyd’s keys and soundtrack sounds, you should check Deep Purple “The book of Taliesyn” it’s great. Cheers from Australia!

Used during sporting events on TV over the years

The lyrics narrated by drummer Nick Mason are “One of these days I will cut you into little pieces”….

" Masters of Sound " - That sums it all up ! What a great way to describe them. And no shit brothers ... you guys are a real treasure in a sea full of garbage. It's a privilege to listen to your broadcasts. That comes straight from Northern Ontario Canada. Sudbury to be exact. Cheers !

Can't wait for you guys to get to Pillow of Winds and Fearless, both of those are probably my favorite Floyd songs of all time!

Have a couple drinks, smoke some weed and ,listen to this track on repeat. You will enjoy it!

This to me was the 1st song that had the Pink Floyd sound as they finally emerged from the drug addled sounds prior.

Always loved Waters didjeridu sounding bass groves especially in this

"Fearless" is another not to be missed off that album. Totally different vibe from this song.

This song literally changed my life. I listened to so much classic rock that I was burned out. Some of it was, of course, great. Some of it was just the same old thing over and over. Then I heard this song and it blew my mind. There are no crazy, foreign instrument. This is a keyboard, bass, drums, and guitar-but what they did with those rock and roll instruments was like nothing I’d ever heard. Pink Floyd changed my world forever.

Love all Pink Floyd. No details ever overlooked...ever.

Check out the live version at the Pulse concert.

Now in my 60s and fellow drummer, I think should check out *Pink Floyd - One Of These Days (Live At Pompeii) 1972* Filmed and recorded live inside ruins of the Ppompeii Colosseum. Only cameras working during this song were all focused on the drummer - Defiantly Trippy Video for its Time and Well Worth a Revisit IMO.

@3:!7 PF nod to Dalia Darbyshire, the sculptress of sound. She crafted the iconic Dr. Who theme by physically cutting and splicing endless reems of magneric tape by hand. The BBC refused to give her credit.

If it's a beach it's pretty damn windy ✌️

One of my Fav Floyd songs... Great Driving music.

courageous

Almost shaved my head TRIPPING listening to this album many moons ago. Rock on.

Typical film and TV music, sounds revolutionary, is also in the Pompeii documentation. On Meddle and Atom Mother Heart there is a long main track (an album side) and shorter, musically totally different individual songs, often by individual group members. It's a catchy track and musically it was in a different dimension back then.

Out Standing Entire Album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha i was at RFK in DC also for Division Bell.......I was Tripping it was ridiculous

Wow. I was gonna suggest that Laa and Chee would do this one ! And you already have! Are you ready? Yep ! Let’s go!

same song, pulse live 1994

one of my favourite songs when i saw them live!!!

When you open the album it's an ear...I was 11 when I got that album for my birthday off my brother, 1971..😳 he took me to see them for my 14th birthday 👍 the Empire theatre Liverpool UK, Pink Floyd, the Dark Side of the Moon tour...😏 they did Echoes as an encore, I feel blessed growing up with the best prog rock bands in the world, enjoy the trip boys.....you're a few doobies, munchies, and a lava lamp short of a banging night in, ❤️

Lost a conrod to this years ago. When the smoke cleared..it was still playing. Brilliant times.

Masters of Sound + Players of Souls. Guys, don't lie! We can see you trippin' 😉 Please, tell us your rides. Greetings!

Interesting album for sure !

Gotta do the live version from the pulse tour!!!

You guys should check out the band Airbag, from Oslo, Norway. They have a Pink Floyd sound mixed with a bit of Porcupine Tree. They have several albums; Identity (2009), All Rights Removed (2011), The Greatest Show On Earth (2013), Disconnected (2016) & A Day At The Beach (2020). Guitarist/Vocalist Bjørn Riis' solo albums are good too: Lullabies In A Car Crash (2014), Forever Comes To An End (2017), A Storm Is Coming (2019) & Everything To Everyone (2022). Porcupine Tree have some Floyd sounding stuff too, especially on some of their albums from the 90s. Signify (1996) & Stupid Dream (1999) are great albums to start with.

Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are the albums where Pink Floyd's ingenuity and musical mastery came together to form the Pink Floyd sound we know and love which (in my opinion) lead to their greatest works. Cheers for the reaction video.

Interesting that you were reminded of Flash Gordon, since only seconds after that comment when the melody slows down at 03:16, that's where their inspiration from the theme music of the classic British sci-fi show Dr. Who is all the more on display. It was created by Delia Derbyshire (one of them mentioned this somewhere, just can't recall which interview or band member, but probably Roger).

Pink Floyd pulse live version is great also.

its time for "the wall" full album. i think you are ready now.

Meddle was the launching pad for the 4 albums that came after, this song seemed to crystallize their instrumental prowess and was used as a basis for instrumental passages to come. If you have not heard the original Echoes, that took up the whole other side of the LP, it will be a big treat. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

Great great album. Strong all way thru. One of these days I'm....

My favorite Floyd album

Interesting choice on your part. This is a fave of most serious PF fans

Hey, I just watched your review of School Daze and Low Spark- Nice!

The Live at Pompeii version of this is the best.

Between this album and Dark Side they moved from psychedelic rock to album rock where one album tells an entire story or theme.

You guys should watch the Live version from the Pulse concert sounds just as good if not better and the visuals are amazing

One of my only gripes ever with Pink Floyd was the footage from this song in the Pompeii movie only including Nick and not of the double bass playing.

So dope how the reverse symbols work with the synth on those building hits

My favourite Floyd album ❤

Story has it this was to be an instrumental but a producer David had a beef with walked in to the control room and he said the line on the fly

Anyone ever look at the album art and see a nose? The album's called meddle, which means to interfere, so maybe it was their way of telling some people and in a clever way not to "meddle/stick your nose" in our business 😂

I remember dropping acid and listening to this wearing a headset . Eons ago now , but I grew up with fantastic music !
