Great gig in the sky is iconic. You're an idiot!
I have to be in the mood for that track. When I am in the mood, I absolutely love it. My mum died last year, at 94. I can confirm that it really did seem to be like that. My sister and I were welcomed into her care home for her final 5 days. We slept in her room, the care home staff gave us meals and drinks. We watched her gradually fade away and it wasn't scary or upsetting, just peaceful. I can't listen to the song when I'm feeling sad.
I remember when I first heard this album in total, probably around 75 and I was a very young teenager, I felt like GGITS was just filler music on the album, and I would flip the album when this song started playing. As I got a little older I started to really appreciate the vocal skills, and of course, Rick's piano. Now, as a 60 year old man this entire album means so much more.
Great Gig is pretty intense. I appreciate it very much now but not so much 50 years ago.
😂😂😂😂
If by being in the mood for that track you mean being in the mood for Dark Side, I'd understand that. You can't have Dark Side without Great Gig or any of the other "individual" tracks.@@toniyoung5131
One word describes this album, MASTERPIECE 😅😊
Greatest album of all time imo and its still selling .....amazing
No computer games, 3 channels of TV, no on demand media , no social media, no mobile phones, it was so much easier to find time to listen to albums in their entirety (save to get up and turn the vinyl over in the middle) and so we listened to albums like watching a movie. You made space for it, turned out the lights and took in the experience. You did not chop it up into bits and talk about it in the middle like some poopy shoes. (No offence guys cos that is what you are paid to do but you probably would have enjoyed your first experience more if you could have simply absorbed it rather than having to find things to say for the channel.)
Well said mate
Great gig fits perfectly on this album and I would NEVER skip it while listening to the album.
The Great Gig in the Sky was the best 1 take female vocal of all time! I get chills every time I listen to her sing!
At the end of the album, your reaction is understandable, just think hearing this in 1973! It was magical 😅😊
Great gig in the sky gives me chills every time i listen to it
It was actually on the billboard 200 charts for 741 straight weeks and some other sources say 736 straight weeks but either way that's over 14 straight years!! It's also jumped on and off the charts over the years for almost 1000 weeks now it's been on the billboard 200!!!
And that is approaching almost twenty years on the album charts!!! I think it's impressive to have an album on the charts for one year but 20 years is mind boggling!!! I also read several different sources that say this album still sells between eight to ten thousand copies a week worldwide!! I'd say that's going to add up over the next few decades!!
By the way you guys did a great job on playing, not interrupting and listening and actually understanding the album!!!!
Incredible! And Ty !
It's the one album I wish I could go back in time and listen to for the first time again. Greatness that is difficult for many of today's generation to grasp.
Sorry but Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West are the Pink Floyds of the 21st century.@@martinm1231
Great reaction, I was here for all of it!
67 year old Pink Floyd fan here, since the release of this album in 1973, I bought the 8 - track for my 69 Chevy Nova, being a 17 year old guitarist in a local Rock Band, I was floored!
I've seen Pink Floyd twice, in 1973 in Boston on their "The Dark Side Of The Moon" world tour, and in 1980 on Long Island, "The Wall" world tour. Incredible performances both, especially The Wall!
The Wall was the most phenomenal, astounding performance, live or otherwise, of any kind I've ever seen in all my years on this planet.
Pink Floyd is/was a Blues based band, like virtually all the British Rock & Roll Bands to come out of London in the 1960s, They even took their name from two American Blues guitarists from the mid 1900s, that Syd Barrett, (one of the 4 co - founders of PF), had recordings of Piedmont Blues from both of these guitarists.
They are,....PINK Anderson, (1900 - 1974), and FLOYD Council, (1911 - 1976).
Either of you guys notice that "Money" goes from a 7/4-time signature, then 4/4,... then back to 7/4?
" Brain Damage" is a reference to Syd Barrett, who was forced to leave the band in 1968 because of mental health problems exacerbated by his massive use of LSD and other mind-altering drugs. His is a sad story that the band has referenced in many of their albums, "Wish You Were Here" was really all about Syd.
I liked when the cool guy with the beard basically told the uncool guy to,... (paraphrasing here), ... shut up already during the song,... during Brain Damage!
True. I’m not cool ~ Ryan
Haha, good sport though!@@WelpHereWeAreOnUA-cam
The concept of this album escapes you,
You can never appreciate it's musical and technical brilliance without context!
I was 13 when this was released, even I got its importance back then!
Awesome ! Thank you for watching!
In 1973 I was in the Navy, stationed in Norfolk, Virginia a shipmate and his wife invited me and two others over to their apartment to get high, and listen to their new state of the art stereo. They just bought a copy of Dark Side of The Moon and it was the best of times. I became an instant Pink Floyd fan and bought a copy. My fifty year old album still plays well.
The Torry in the notes refers to Clare Torry, the vocalist. She wasn't sure if they had liked it, until she heard it on the finished album.
Us and Them, was current then and its current now.
You guys definitely need to do a reaction to Floyd's album 'Animals' which many Pink Floyd fans is their favourite Floyd album ever..!! It's as though Roger Waters was psychic as he wrote the lyrics in 1977 but are even more relevant now than they were just as relevant back in 77..!! Roger Waters lyrics are absolutely GENIUS... The Greatest lyricist of the last 100years
This album was released on my 14th birthday. I think what your saying is you have listened to this after the noise of how great it is. I was lucky to have heard this before it become renowned for the masterpiece it is. Imagine how you would have felt listening to it before.
And that was where you went for made it to the end!?!
PS
Back in the 70 's music was about boy/girl relationships, sex drugs Rock n Roll.....
And then there was Pink Floyd
Talking about Mental Health, Extreme Poverty in the face of Extreme Wealth, War and the human condition....
And somehow they made that into something that charted for over 17 Years!
Please don't disinform, hundred of prog/art rock bands in 70s before Pink Floyd already did many great things with music and lyrics to it, Pink floyd was revolutionary in one thing - in success. That's all. They were nowhere near Genesis as musicians and composers, they were nowhere near VDGG in terms of lyricism, they were just success hitting the right spot the right time. I love Pink Floyd, but very overrated band with toxic fanbase
The album as conceived by Roger Waters and he created the early demo tracks of the album, he also wrote the earliest pieces of music for the album and then he and the rest of the band finished it off. All of the albums lyrics are by Waters and things like the effects loops on Money are by him. Despite the bands later bickering the records producer considered Waters as responsible for most of the album and as we know Roger became responsible for more and more of the bands music to the point their biggest arguments revolved around Wright turning up late or not at all to expensive recording sessions on future albums and Gilmour off playing squash and contributing little whist Mason never really contributed to song writing from day one. In early documentaries both Gilmour and Wright admit to this, its only later when Waters tried to dissolve the band and there was lots of bitterness that the story changed. After Waters left they never did a concept album again and Gilmour has admitted they couldn't do it without him and they struggled without him not writing the lyrics. Facts trump feelings and whilst Gilmour is a great guitarist but hen it comes to it most of the music and all of the lyrics from The Dark Side of the Moon to The Final Cut are written by Waters, its why he gets the bulk of the royalties for the bands music and why he's worth more than the rest of the band combined.
Gilmour didn't even want to make another concept album after Dark Side. He wanted Wish You Were Here to be a bunch of random songs. Would've been a disaster. So glad Waters was in charge at that time.
Pink Floyd are masters of conveying imagery with their music. The ones that really stand out for me are the guitar in Shine On You Crazy Diamond sounding several times like what light through a twinkling faceted diamond looks like to me. The music in the song Pigs sounds like pigs grunting and squealing. The way the guitar hits in the song Sheep sounds like chopping and hacking blades. Most of their songs hit me with the abstract visuals but those are just a few examples of the more literal ones. It's amazing. These guys are just different. Genius.
Floyd was not really a band in the period of the 4 albums between meddle and Animals where you listened to the songs individually. I can confirm that in 50 years I have never skipped over any of this album.
For a first time i listened to Time when I was 19 yo. It shook me so deep that a few years later I left my country and emigrated. Now I am 60+ and listen to this album about once a month. The older I get, the better I understand it. It is quite strange that it was written and performed by such yang musicians.
The more I listen to Floyd, the more references to WWII and its effects and aftermath I see. For instance, Run Rabbit Run was a popular song in the UK during WWII. The words, 'Dig that hole, forget the sun' could be a reference to British people making back-yard bomb shelters during the Blitz.
'Listen son' said the man with the gun. 'there's room for you inside.' The Home Guard directing people into air raid shelters during the Blitz on London.
After you listen to TGGITS a couple thousand times you realize and understand that it is the greatest female vocal of all time.
Thank you listening to DSOTM and your honesty.
Thanks for listening
The Great Gig In The Sky is all the more impressive watched live. It’s emotive reaction to pending death, it’s angry resistance and denial before acceptance, and ultimately death itself is the most emotive. Definitely watched live is highlight to see a singer reproduce those sounds and emotion. Live audiences absolutely love it.
The thing about Pink Floyd is that their music is life. As you grow older you relate to each song more and more. It’s not jamming in my car type of music (though I do and many of us fans do), it’s about the essence and feeling and nostalgia of your own life in relation to the music that makes it the best album of all time. Their music has been studied by scholars all these decades. The musicality alone is mind blowing that it’s 50+ years old. Their music is beautiful and poignant and hits hard, when it finally hits.
Enjoyed that guys , well done.
If you really want to be blown away you should buy the blu ray of the Pulse concert. I was lucky enough to see them on that tour. We gave our kids 2 tickets each to the same show for their birthdays. They selected one friend each. Of course they grew up hearing PF because we played it so much. They were as much in awe of that concert as we were. Nobody talked once the concert started.
"Kudos to you... Poopy shoes on your face"...... And yes, I dd listen from beginning to the end. Fascinating watching you both react to it in so many different ways. I was 20 when this album came out and had obviously been listening to Pink Floyd for a few years before that.. Being a Brit... One of the comments at the end was quite precient.. It was unlike anything else that came out at the time hence the viral nature of the sales... but at the same time, so many more records around that time sold in huge numbers, because that was the way of the music listening public. A slice of history is a good way to think of it... because if you think of it like this.... we had no mobile phones, no computers, no tablets, in Britain we only had 3 television channels to choose from and they didn;t run for 24 hours a day. So straight away you begin to understand that the time for listening to music was so much more. I was married and had a job and did a lot of other things (In fact I bought the album when it came out as it was released during my honeymoon) but music was a huge slice of my daily life. Like everything in life, it's good to understand the context sometimes to understand why some things had the impact that they did.. Sorry for the ramble.
Love the ramble ! And Ty !
Clare Torry’s towering achievement on GGitS is summed up perfectly by the fact that when it’s performed live, it almost always takes two singers to perform the whole song whereas Clare did it off the bay as soon as she was directed by David. It wasn’t the first take because at first she was singing “baby baby” and other words. As soon as they told her to just sing as an instrument she produced this. All the following takes for progressively less inspired and worse.
Rightly she finally got a writing credit in addition to the one-off session fee that she was originally paid.
You want a long Pink Floyd solo...check out Comfortably Numb from the live Pulse concert. It has what most regard as the greatest live guitar solo in music history.
We’ve seen it. Amazing!
Ugh. Pink Floyd is soooo much more than the bloody guitar solos.
@@nectarinedreams7208 yes, but that doesnt mean we dont love guitar solos...sooooo
I had a discussion with a friend once that part of the sales of this album was that it was iconic but, also that it came out in the record era then when cassettes came out a lot of those people bought it on the new format and then when CDs came out the same people bought again on the new format. Many of the people who listen to this album care about the clarity and hearing all of the layers and details, so having the best version to listen to was a strong motivation to buy again. Also, poopy shoes.
The Great Gig in the Sky fits perfectly in this album. Think of how the beginning of the album is the birth with the heart beat and Breath and then the death and after life is portrayed in The Great Gig in the Sky. This song like every song on this album is a masterpiece. Reading and understanding the lyrics helps.
I didn't know that i needed a Pink Floyd injection into my day. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"On the Run" is the point where the, ahem, substances start kicking in.
On "Time", David Gilmour sings lead while Rick Wright sings on the bridge. They do many songs this way. I love the entire album, but Us and Them really stands out to me. Such a beautiful song about serious topics: war, inequality, poverty. I agree that they were ahead of their time. The band members were born in 1943, 1944, 1945 and 1946. Roger lost his grandfather and father in WWI and WWII respectively.
You have to imagine discovering this at 15 years old when it first came out. There was nothing that sounded anything like this. It was so new and weird! I recall having it for a year before it blew up. Many people were derisive at the time. Funny thing, it meant a lot to me then; it means so much more to me now.
They interviewed people around the studios asking them specific questions. Like are you afraid to die. When were you last violent. Were you in the right when you were violent. These are the answers.
This is a duel concept album. Side A covers an individual life from birth too death, starting with breathe and ending with great gig in the sky.
Side B reflects the human condition in general, from Money through Eclipse.with subjects such as war, wealth ECT.
The thing is this album has 1 or 2 singles. But it needs to be taken as a whole to be appreciated. Try listening to it again without the pauses and see how it feels.
OMG, guys, no, Pink Floyd's 'Money' was NOT used on the Apprentice. That shit show used the O'Jays 'For the Love Of Money'-- also a great song, but with lyrics more appropriate to Trump's fucked-upedness.
thats amazing you remembered those lines from the poem from the wall video... unless it was just a few weeks ago you watched it ... or if you watched it many times ... then thats amazing ... wish my memeory was even half that good...
This album came out the year I graduated high school, and if you would have heard it for the first time back then when there had never been anything like this before, you would have an even greater appreciation for the album. Was it ahead of it's time or have we done nothing to solve society's problems in the 50 years since this came out and it just seems that way to you because the same problems still persist today?
Clare Tory was a session singer, paid £30 for her few hours work onto the night. Later she argued that her contribution was a little more significant than 'just' supplying backing vocals...
If you listen closely, at the end of Eclipse, there is a Beatles song playing in the background. A muzak version of Ticket to ride
watch the live version of Great gig in the sky and you absolutely will have goosebumps again.....go again to the song on the album and you will have goosebumps again...listen to it with headphones and close your eyes and your soul WILL be touched again and again. And ofvcourse the live version with Clare at Knebworth 1990.
I love David’s guitar work.I’m 62 and was 11 when I listened to this album for the first time. Can you imagine how I felt back then in 1973 and listen this for the first time? It was absolutely fantastic and incredible. Since then there isn’t a day I don’t listen to Pink Floyd. They are my therapy.
PS I recommend you to listen their Pulse concert. David’s solos are out of this world. Any song from that concert 1994 is amazing.
50 years later, and it still sells about 10,000 copies a year. 3rd best-selling album of all time did I mention 50 Years and it's still the 3rd best-selling album of all time. there is a reason for that and it's not just because of "it's time frame" it's because it is a masterpiece that is timeless and people will be listening to this album for another 50 years and more. To bad there is no music of today that will last like this because today's music is crap.
Fun fact: In ( On the run ) There are no drums in it what so ever, The high-hat sound you are hearing is just the synthesizer looping three or four notes. .... I think Nick went to the pub for this one. :P ...
As for the song “On the Run”, “Kraftwerk” was producing this electronic techno sound as well.
Yes o the video, I hae not seen anyone do it and it was great and explains the wall album.
The Great Gig In The Sky... It was the first take Nathan.
Sorry Ryan said it.
33:32 "If you hear this whispering you are dying."
The Apprentice song was For the Love of Money by the O’Jays
20,000 subscribers !!! Huge congratulations, gentlemen.👏👏
I love Pink Floyd, I have all the albums, but Dark Side of the Moon is my absolute favorite. I prefer to listen to it all by myself, put on headphones and let myself be totally absorbed by their music. And the three (perfectly complementary) female vocals and David Gilmour are absolutely divine! With every listening you will like the album more and more! Wonderful are also live concerts - Pulse, or in Venice and Long Island. It was amazing, thank youuuu!!🤗🤗❤❤ Poopy shoes on your face 😂🤣
❤️❤️❤️
the beatles were of course first in using loops..you even reacted to it - Revolver on songs like I‘m Only Sleeping and Tomorrow Never Knows
You need to listen to this album more than once to take everything in its an experience the lyrics and their musical prowess to put this album together is genius and for me hypnotic and everything they have done since is absolutely mind blowing definitely before their time pink floyd brilliant rock band
Are you guys for REAL ..?? The Great Gig in The Sky sung improvised by Clare Torry given no instructions just basically sing the vocals who you see fit. .!! And to generate one of the greatest songs of all TIME PERIOD..!! Tell Me amy artist who could harmonise to a piece of music that they had never heard before till they arrived in the studio is just beggars belief that she could put a harmony together from scratch, shows how incredible Clare Torry was/is at producing one if not the GREATEST MUSICAL PIECES OF MUSIC EVER SUNG..!! And to Diss this piece of music in your words as something l could only listen to once just beggars belief..!! I think you really need to have a good look at yourself and your ideas on what is a classical piece of music 🎶..!! Pink Floyd are if not ghe GREATEST BAND OF THE PAST 100 YEARS..!! Their music lyrically and musically is above reproach.. They sing about topics that are relevant and of the times..You should listen to the album 'Animals' which is Roger Waters homage to George Orwells 'Animal Farm' in human form instead of Animal form the way George Orwell wrote it..(ie) Pigs are the 1%greedy bastards at the head of the food chain..!! Then you have the 'Dogs' who are the rich'n'greedy businesmen who will stab people in their back just to get all the money they can get their hands on without any regard for humans suffering for their own personal greed..!! And then you have the 'Sheep' which are us the common people who like herd animals just follow the leaders like 'Sheep' and don't rock the boat so as not to cause any conflict amongst the living dead..!! So listen to lyrics from this album written in 1977 'Animals' which are as relevant now if not more so in 1977... As basically nothing has changed since 1977 and the ruling elite still nothing has changed for the better, so until we rise up and RESIST the Status Quo things will continue to be the same were we are dictated to by the ELITE RULING 1% CLASSES..
🤨
on Time its david singing the heavier parts and richard singing the softer parts
Pink Floyd are brilliantly different.
You guys should do the Dark Side of the Moon Phish set next!
11/2/98 - one of the most epic nights in Phishtory!
what is the name of the website you guys used for the lyrics?
iTunes
@@WelpHereWeAreOnUA-cam appreciate it!
It starts and ends with a heartbeat, purposely arranged to be played on a loop.
I find the Great Gig in the Sky the very peak of an entire album. Skipping it tells me that you aren't listening to the entire album as a full experience.
Honestly, it would feel like I am having the greatest love making of my life and right when we approach our ultimate climax, someone yanks us our of bed and throws us in a muddy backyard.
Obviously I disagree that the song is out of place as a concept. See above.
Floyd have never been viral. They are a slow burning band.
I never loved this album when i was younger. Now i love it, it was completely genius in 1973.
It is now my second favourite album of all time.
just out of curiosity, what’s your favorite album?❤️✌️🌼
@@marniethedyslexic6445 you probably won't like this but it's another Floyd album. Animals.
@@doscwolny2221 Animals is my favorite, too. 😃
Guys please just react to the album version of The Wall the video is good but the transitions on the studio version are better in my opinion.
when clare came in to audition for the vocals they asked her to just belt some notes for great gig in the sky and just happened by accident to be recording and after she was done everyone was flabbergasted and said THATS THE SOUND,.....and the drum sound in the song TIME was recorded in a large bathroom to get the echo effect
poopy shoes? Nice review/reactions guys!
❤️❤️
You’ll get this a lot, but if you like the guitar here, you won’t get away without reacting to the Pulse concert. The solo on Comfortably Numb reduces some of us to puddles. Dare you to make it through a “side” (there are 2 DVD discs) without a break.
Any..COLOUR U LIKE..IMMENSE..😊😊😊❤❤❤
They have a sound. Until you hear Animals😂
Wow, one of the greatest vocal performances in music history is simply over your head. It is an ingenious interpretation of the 7 stages of death from anger thru acceptance.
You kids today don't know anything!
Lol
Aweee….. We’re kids. Awesome ! Aging well we are. Thank you for watching and you’re adorable comments
Please do “Drive Home” by Stephen Wilson (fr porcupine tree)
Featuring a wonderfully evocative guitar solo by Guthrie Govan improvised completely whilst snapping a string and still coming up with one of the greatest pieces of guitar ever) in mid song.
Sorry and glad to be 68 years old... I think the idea is to listen and take a Head Trip - no drugs required!
can you guys do some TOTO or Steely Dan?
Yes!! Steely Dan 💯
Last 2 tracks should have been us and them ..Great gig.....❤❤❤😊😊😊
I love this album, but I can´t help but prefer Wish You Were Here. It´s like it does everything to me. It touches deeply from beginning to end.
Same
Animals was always my favourite
The name of the band is a honorary to two Blues legends! Pink and Floyd! Can’t remember the last names of the artists. Been a long time since hearing last name’s
9:52 right off the bat, you’re wrong, the song song Breathe in the air is on the radio
ok.......sorry? didnt know this was a test
You guys are taking an excellent album and tearing it to pieces! Millions of people would disagree with you!
How so ?
I saw pulse concert 1994 best night 🌙 of my life....
The song Great Gig in the Sky on this album is very raw and beautiful. The version in the Pulse concert is highly polished. Both are amazing but I think I prefer the live version a skosh more.
Oh, yes, kudos to you and poopy shoes on your face 🤣
None of the live versions come close to the original, imo.
For the love of Money by the O'jays was used on the apprentice not Money by P.F.
Money was not used in The Apprentice. Roger Waters and the band would rather have deleted the song from existence than let that TV show (or any TV show for that matter) use any of the songs off the Big Four.
if you guys enjoy listening to songs that take you on a journey try listening to RICK WAKEMAN JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
Radio did mute the bull- CHIT" I was 17.
PoopyShoes🌠🤍🌠
Time is one of the greatest songs in the history of man. The lyrics are only half the story being told. The music covers conception to death. Note how the entry is the longest part, and each section gets shorter? Just like the stages of life- as a kid time never moves, and then it gets faster and faster- each section is a time period in life.
You need to sit down and listen to the pulse concert full video better than the stodeo version
Dennis
Be safe out there
THE WALL please..
Great reaction. Poopy face on your shoes😂.❤✌️🌼
😅
I got them glue trowel blues....
Thought you said you were only going to quack between songs, not over the music.
I guess we failed you
@@WelpHereWeAreOnUA-cam I shouldn't have been such a witch about it. Having a bad day and letting it control me is no excuse. My bad.
Great to see Americans looing over the horizon its only taken them 45 yrs to notice the best band ever 😙
We’re Canadian
This American grew up with the album! Was born in ‘78, and I don’t ever remember a moment without it! My dad was a HUGE fan, and passed that on to me! ❤
Great reaction, guys! Talking about the "profanity" in Money... they used to play songs like this all the time back then. It wasn't until the late 90s (I think) that the US Senate decided we shouldn't have to listen to these naughty words in songs... oy vey!
In my opinion the 80s happened in 75..90s in..80s..ect....5 or 10 years ahead..we just didnt see it happening...my opinion...❤❤❤
Any colour u like then great gig..should have been end of album ❤❤❤❤
For me their greatest work is Animals
You're my children's age! WHAT CAVE, did you grow up in?
So. You’re saying everyone in the world knows this album.
Quick poll from working just did. I just asked 10 coworkers, none of them have listened by
To the album. Guess they’re in a cave too . It’s odd people think that we all experience the same things. Odd you do anyway.
Of couse this classic, Engineering by the Great Alan Parsons
Dark Side of the Moon is progressive rock, not blues rock. Basically, Gilmour was a blues guitarist in a progressive rock band.
