@@jordesign try putting on Total Recall (Schwarzenegger) when they' start flying through the Mars catacombs so it's synched to On the Run. Serendipitously happened in college once and blew my THC addled mind away. We were hooting and hollering at the screen like we were on a roller coaster.

stayed on album chart for so many weeks.. Billboard just substituted the number of weeks to "Forever"

Uhhh no shit lol

@@Sportsref13 To be exact, it stayed on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart for 736 consecutive weeks (14 years). It then came back for five more weeks giving it 741 weeks on the chart. It doesn't end there however. With the advent of Billboards catalog albums chart, as of 2013 it had been on the charts for a dizzying 1500 weeks (nearly 29 years). I don't know after that. I can't find anymore info on it. The albums still sells about 34,000 copies a month. When you look in the dictionary under iconic, there is a picture of this album.

@@countryboyoutdoors7963 34.000 copies a month? That's an insane figure, especially in these days. But then again, it's one of the true iconic albums in our lifetime.

You’re right.

That’s awesome

Impressive!

When I was in 9th grade boys chorus (for my music credit) in 1989, we had to sing a solo in front of the class. The song I chose was Wish You Were Here.

@@kdphotos4691 I sing that while I make on the toilet

That must of been amazing. Did they sing in English?

@@ryanmmcevoy5689 it really was amazing .. and yes the lead singer ,though not fluent in English, had to learn and master the lyrics , aswell as the other back up singers . 🙂

Привет брат

It took me until this album in 73 to introduce me to Floyd. I was 23... I still recall listening in my apt in Reseda CA, across from the park. In 69 it was Zeppelin 1. What a time except for the Vietnam war.

Me too

nitramyar, i think we are all allowed to call each other brother or sister.

Well said! There are so many out there doing these reactions, but from where I sit, only Jamal gets it, right down to the marrow.

Pretty much exactly what I was gonna say.

I think I might have been one of your older friends. I was 16 when this dropped.

Great story Debra.

I think I was about the same, had a similar experience. I have never got tired of hearing it

i have a similar story, at about the same age

Stereo or quadraphonic?

Deep shit

Oh I'm so sorry

I pray you've gained more friends here...like at least those of us who've seen your post!

Hello friend. : )

Wow. This hurt me to read. I hope you've moved on to better times. Hold your head high, own your world and don't let anyone get you down.

Hello friend

Mark Williams, that part of the song came on as i was reading your comment!

Yes! Loved that reaction! LOL

As much as Jamel loves the saxophone, I was waiting for his reaction. His look of pleasant surprise when the sax jumps in said it all.

I always thought of Dick Parry as an uncredited member of the band.

When you think about it there is no end if played in a loop, it starts with a heartbeat fading in and a heartbeat fading out which would lead to a heartbeat fading in and on and on...

Thank you for mentioning Dick Parry

The saxophone was played by Raphael Ravensworth on this album and on Wish You were here as well

Dude. Exactly.

So happy that you discovered Pink Floyd. Please listen to Crush by Dave Mathews Band....everyone knows Crash....but Crush never really got popular. Dave is amazing and the band is unbelievable

That augmented A chord in bars 9-12 of this song.....who else might've come up with that? (A+5)

@@assedio3631 Good Lord....that progression in Great Gig In The Sky. Everyone focuses on the vocals. Without Rick and that chord progression that song would never have happened. It might be his greatest contribution to their music.

Pink Floyd was inspired by American Blues and Jazz music.

Bullseye Bob ditto my friend! 63 and it makes me feel 16 !

Same here!

Yep!

Ditto! Don't know about your friend's basement but we had the black lights and posters on the wall too, lol. The smoke wafting through the air, it was something to behold. The stereo component system had to be perfectly spec'd out. A communal, deeply shared experience. So glad I was there to enjoy it. Almost 65 now, and yes...feeling 18 all over again for a brief, sweet moment, except now I appreciate this music even more!

And nobody said anything, everybody was in a trance!

It adds complete irony. The lyrics are about the effects and division and pointlessness of war, while the music is so calm. It makes me feel like I’m in a diner while it is snowing a few days before Christmas, while that is the complete opposite reaction that someone should have from the lyrics. It is completely genius.

My son - who listened to me play this cassette over & over - chose the as his instrument in Jr. High because of this Pink Floyd classic!

Sax

A true genius in his own right!

I didn't realize. But, I love the Alan Parson's Project.

Genius!

I didn’t know that. Makes sense

Fact 👍

Yessssssssss.....

Without question!!!!!!

HA!!! I like that. ❤

Man id love to see a reaction to wildwood weed!

I cant imagine how

I’ll second that. Good times, good parties and good rock music.

@Jeremie Theriault i know :)

Yes I agree there are a lot on you tube but I keep coming back to the one keeping it real

The only reactions that matter. Since you can tell Jamal is really enjoying it all. And not putting on some show.

Echo that!

So true

I love Jamal's reactions. They are so Spot on and legit. He's the guy who you want to come over when you get your next LP.

You can always do it again.

You can still do that

Right on!

Spliff music

Agree, I miss my college housemates! We had a blast!

That is an excellent quote for Pink Floyd music

Bob Risse Don’t forget Margaret Sanger and the other eugenic believers.

I just crank the stereo When I listen to floyd so does my neighbors.

My Uncle introduced this to me when it was released. I was 9. We sat in his den with the lights out except his red lava lamp. Remember it like it was yesterday.

I replace the light bulbs with black lights and just stair at the ceiling.

@@lgbass You too??? Cool uncles are the best.

get the pulse concert video and do that nothing better

Roger is insufferable. But many very smart people are.

I watch these reaction videos to calm mine. I was having one, saw the notification for this and it’s helping.

@@WojMoj Good to hear! I love Pink Floyd

Ryan Garcia I feel the same. Stay strong brother.

KebabFrisör Thank you! The best to you and yours during these challenging times.

I worked at the planetarium as a teenager. Tell me about it!

That was my first exposure to Dark Side Of The Moon, on a 6th grade field trip to Laser Floyd show at our Planetarium, and let me tell you, it changed my damn life.

Indeed.

You’re right!!!!

You are correct, of course I don't do that any more because I'm an old man now but I will say this, I've been on many a trip when I was a young lad.

Rob LK I bet you’re still as cool as then 😊

I agree but no chance I can stay still with this album on!

Tears, always....

@Tim Dyer like any war, ever unfortunately. Though the subject of this album is wwii.

Classic Roger at his best.

Yes brother. WWI... but can apply to any war, any time.

I believe this is the first reference to his father's death in Anzio in WWII. He gets much more explicit in The Wall (When the Tigers Broke Free). The movie also has an additional track. Both tracks are gut-wrenching.

It makes me feel like I am at an empty diner at night time while it is snowing a few days before Christmas.

Supernatural

I think musically. Analog is the unsurpassed medium for sound reproduction. Digital wave is square and blocky. Music is a flowing sonic movement and requires sweeping frequency to properly emulate the FLOW of the sound. But digital is a bit more forgiving in that mistakes and flaws can be masked quite readily. But pizza is the way to go...

And, you can thank Alan Parsons for the production. Golden touch.

I used to have a friend like that. We'd ride for hours listening. Not a word was spoken. Some of the best conversations I've ever had!

God bless both you and your Dad. Nice memory indeed to be left with.

Cool Dad. That great memory just gave me some of my own. I lost my dad a few years ago. But, we did a lot of listening of great music together. His and mine.

What a cool memory to have with your Dad! OUR parents gave us holy hell for listening when this stuff first came out!

@@tao4mike Yeah when I was a teenager in the 70s that's what we would do. The best times of my life. So glad I grew up with music like this.

Same ;)

Yes, same

Is time off this album aswell or am I confused? If not I agree but if it is I maybe go with time

@@robertpickering641 , yes, Time is on the first side.

Robert Pickering yes it is and Jamal has already reacted to it. I believe it was his first reaction to Pink Floyd. Check it out!

YES but not their first...

Craig Page or last.

Dark side of the moon is the best album in the world but it's not the best Pink Floyd album.

ONE of their masterpiece :)

👍👍

AMEN BRÕTHER?!? AMEN!!

You would completely trip out listening to the album with a quad system. They put a special quad tape version and I wore the tape out. Hearing the sounds move around from speaker to speaker is an experience.

@@edb6690 when they toured they'd use a quadrophonic sound system. it's part of what made their shows so good. you were surrounded by sound.

The whole album should be listened to in one sitting, no interruptions in order to appreciate it.

I was scanning the comments looking for someone else to say this. I thought the same thing, the last three tracks have to be played as one. I really hope Jamal does this... such an epic ride.

That’s actually Richard Wright singing with David Gilmour singing harmony. Their voices were very similar.

Agree Evan❣️🤘

Cheryl DeFatta Cheryl, you are right. There is a lot of great music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I keep hoping Jamel will react to some of that music someday.

Same here.

I believe Jamel may a Chicago Bulls Fan, so he has heard: The Alan Parsons Project - SIRIUS

@@jamesanthony5257 Eye In The Sky is my fave APP song, but I'm not alone in that.

Ammonia Avenue is good.

I'd recommend "Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe". Especially the two first tracks (which, as with Pink Floyd, I recommend to be played in sequence), "A Dream Within a Dream" and "The Raven". This album struck me so deep that it made me curious to read Poe, and I loved it, a true genius with a tragic life who died young and didn't think much of himself (and neither did his contemporaries), and only after death was his (almost literally) insane talent recognized.

I wouldn't want to be like you.

I second the motion

And some really good "whatever"

@@ryanagee5540 Make tonight a wonderful thing

Deacon Blues and Gaucho will go perfect with this us and them 🎷 being common in all of them.

Brett G he’s done echoes before, not sure about eugene

One of These Days.

The version of A Saucerful of Secrets from Pompeii is worth the listen too, at least the Celestial Voices part

I love the original echoes from live at Pompeii it’s always hard to find , I can’t get over the added edits and cut scenes in the later versions

There way better live Careful with that Axe live than "Live at Pompeii".

Only the first verse is about war; the general theme is on issues that divide us. Waters has said "The second verse is about civil liberties, racism and colour prejudice. The last verse is about passing a tramp in the street and not helping."

He echoes this theme in most of his Pink Floyd material. (Pun Intended)

Goodbye blue sky that song gets me all the time

@@shortstuff780 Agreed

Died before he was born

Gave me chills. Now you know what you're talking about it.

...welcome to the machine😎✌️

eloquently put

The song is about WWII and its aftermath on Britain. "Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died" is a direct reference to Roger Waters' father dying at the Battle for the Anzio Bridgehead. It was a hopeless battle and the officers kept sending them forward to a meat grinder. Pink Floyd interweaved the war theme into the all over petty "wars" that people have over perceived differences when the reality is the world keeps spinning, wars will keep happening, and people will keep on keeping on in spite of it. People do not learn from the past, no matter how many people speak up and say "stop." As for "free speech?" Most people use it as a weapon to create more wars. They do not use it for the betterment of the world. They say things that don't need to be said, which in turn, creates more conflicts and wars. With "free speech" comes responsibility and most do not realise their own power in what they speak nor the power of their words. "Free speech" nowadays isn't used to stop tyrannical governments. It is used by the naive and gullible to call their neighbours "cunts." Pointless and useless personal displays of their own emotional problems. If you are not willing to die for your "free speech" then don't say words that don't need to be said. In America, "free speech" is used as a tool to oppress other people who are no different from those who hide behind their "free speech." In Britain, there are hate speech laws and for good reason. Britain had to re-build after having the war directly destroy a good size of its population because of the misuse of "free speech" in Germany. In Germany, there are hate speech laws because they know that there is always another stupid Joseph Goebbels waiting for a platform to spew lies and venom about other people. The US is like a child with no awareness of the consequences of their actions. Intelligence is mocked and the most ignorant are celebrated, "well, it's free speech so I can say what I want!" Sure, until someone more intelligent comes along and you have to own those words. Careful what you wish for.
