The AM radio thing at the end of "Have A Cigar" leading into WYWH, is significant of what we all did, (including myself), as young guitarists back in the 60s. I am 67 years old today and when I very young, me and my friends, who were playing guitar, were doing the exact same thing that Gilmour and Barrett were doing,...... ....We would listen to the radio, (virtually exclusively AM radio), to learn our favorite songs, by trying to play along with them, we would figure out the chords and the solos! That's what's going on with the AM radio thing between the first two songs on side two, it is meant to represent that part of their youth. The first acoustic guitar is coming from the radio, and the other acoustic, a much clearer tone, is either Syd or David, symbolically, or both of them trying to learn the song. Likely meant to be Syd I think, because the guitar is the intro to WYWH. Keep in mind, Dave Gilmour and Syd Barrett were friends even before Pink Floyd.

I had just bought a quad receiver for over $400 in the 70's and this album. when the front channels went out after Cigar I was PISSED. then WYWH came on it blew me away. there might have a fatty involved too. Dave once said this was his favorite album even dealing with Roger. Heard Floyd live seven times and this song played all over the world , one thing that always happen is the crowd sing to this no matter were it's played. 6 thru 9 so many brain cells lost.

Weird fact. Not as weird as Syd Barrett showing up but anyway. In 1975 I owned a couple mbination turntable and radio player, it was pretty decent quality but would never tune in to FM stereo broadcasts. The single and only time it actually connected to a stereo FM show was the preview of WYWH on the BBC Radio 1 show hosted by Alan Freeman in 1975!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction, though I must be honest and admit that the music is the main reason for my enthusiasm. But take heart -- the ratio is only 60 / 40 . Certainly you wouldn't expect a higher rating in your favor when listening to Pink Floyd, would you? Of course you wouldn't. Because you two are laid-back cool meek people with a firm grip on reality. And this makes you both very likable. Y'all's love for music is infectious and inspiring. Not sure why you don't have more subscribers. But just keep on doing what you are doing. Build the channel ... they will come. And I hope you guys get rich from this channel. 😊

Great reaction guys. For me, Wish You Were Here (the song) is about Roger and David. Roger just came up with the song because they needed a song to fill out the album. It’s about him and Dave and how they tour and tour and tour but their friendship started to suffer and this is the beginning of their drift apart. Mike that long fade out was meant to be just the synth but the last 20/30 seconds is the tribute to Syd that Richard Wright just came up with while he was recording his organ part. It’s a variation on one of Syds songs.

This whole album is about their friend Sid and the bands distain for the players in the music industry. Sid suffered from mental illness and eperimented with acid until he could no longer function. After Dark Side of the Moon came out, David realized how much the people on the industry had actually stolen from the band (leaving them almost broke after making the biggest selling album in history).....thus Have a cigar is a slap back at the industry. They then started recording at Abby Road studios where Animals became a huge success for them. But in the end this particular album was about how much they loved and missed their friend Sid....RIP Sid ......oh yeah David Gilmore made sure that Sid was financially taken care of for his entire life. When Sid passed away in 2006 ....35 years afyer leaving the band he actually had a net worth of 500,000 dollars❤

This album is a great story....starting with the success of The Dark Side of The Moon....the record label pushing for more and the members really missing their frieng Sid. Have a cigar tells most of it. The band was burned by company executives and by their manager. This album is a big middle finger to them! The whole second side goes back to their roots of psychedelic music and sounds that Sid would have loved. After this was completed, the bandvstarted recording at Abby Road studios. Rodger and David started having creative differences but pulled off another great one with Animals. By the time. The Wall came out, Davids solos were almost non existent and Rodger sand almost everything. The final Cut is where they parted ways when Rodger wanted to put cuts on it that didn't make it to The Wall...that's when they parted ways. Richard Wright left but rejoined the band once Waters was gone. Although their last albums couldn't match the success of the 70's they still managed to pack arenas across the world and continued to do so for many years....The Pulse concert was one of the most amazing voncerts EVER! I saw them twice in the 70's at Madison Square Garden and I was moved forevet.....Rest in peace Sid snd Richard.

Parts of Shine on You Crazy Diamond really hark back to the Meddle album. That is an album worthy of reaction. It contained both the psychedelic prog rock that brought the band to notice and some stuff that wandered well away from that. More than any other Floyd album of that era. To me Dark Side of the Moon feels like it should have come after Wish You Were Here and not between it and Meddle.

The end of this album was basically the end of this epoch of Pink Floyd, and that's why it feels and sounds so poignant. Sure, these same four went on to make Animals and then The Wall, but it just wasn't the same. It became almost like a Roger Waters solo project with David, Nick and Richard collaborating as studio musicians. Don't get me wrong, there is certainly plenty of great music on both of those albums, but the unique spirit and "vibe" of the band from 69-75 was noticeably absent.

Roger couldn't do it, Dave had a crack at it but said it didn't quite seem right, so he went to the next room over where Roy was recording and asked him to give it a try. It came out best and Dave loved it, but Roger was pissy about his take not being the one used. It may have been the spark which lead to the feud, now that I think about it.

They didn't ask Harper (known best for having a song on Led Zeppelin III named for him) to sing Have a Cigar. He offered his services after seeing them struggle with it. You see, the song was pitched too high for Roger to sing it properly, without having to change the key, and thus, the entire song. So, rather than starting over, they let Roy have a crack at it. Everyone thought it was Roger and they didn't give Roy Harper credit for over a decade.

This dissatisfaction with things wasn't limited to this instance - Roger simply wasn't 'feeling it' when they were recording "Animals", which is why David is playing bass on "Pigs" and "Sheep". That's why there are so many bends evident - as good as he was, Roger didn't have the skills to pull that off.
