I wouldn't say that about "The Final Cut", which to me is close to INAUDIBLE, with Roger Waters' screaming and shrieking causing me a copious eardrum hemorrhage. (The lyrics are great, though, I love to READ them!) Yet many things in late Pink Floyd, after Waters left, are "meh", they lack any "wow" factor. But I agree that almost everything from their 1970s era is a masterpiece.
@@goytabr I have an Dark Side on vinyl, from the early 70's. The first CD I ever bought was the same, but I also think the Division Bell album is a masterpiece.
Yes, a masterpiece. You are correct that this song was a tribute to their great friend and bandmate Syd Barrett who lost his mind and had to leave the band. David replaced him as lead guitarist. Syd was loved by all and they supported him financially until he died. I LOVE, LOVE Pink Floyd. They are so unique. Spent many stoned hours in my youth listening to them and got to see them live 2 times in the early 70's. As great as the concerts were, I think I now prefer the videos as you can see and enjoy them more than from up in the nosebleed section of a large arena!
Same here. Plus, it was a LOT of work to go to a show. Getting parked, getting through the turnstile, getting in line for your drinks and finding your seat. Then, you gotta go to the bathroom halfway around the stadium. You know the drill. I've still had some amazing times at some amazing shows!
@@tammieparrishmiller3669 LOL ! All True. And yet I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to see some of my rock heroes playing in the flesh. I feel sympathy for young folks today. Not only are there much fewer concerts around, but they are priced out of the range of some kids. Back in the early 70's you could see a great act like Floyd, Zeppelin, Santana ,CSNY and so many others, all for less than $10!
@@cindyfalstrom7231 It's a shame! I still have all of my ticket stubs that I kept stuck in my Jim Morrison frame that I got at a Spencers store at the mall. I wish I never would have gotten rid of the picture with the cool frame. It's been fun going back and forth with our memories! I'll see you in the comments! Take good care!
When I saw them, this was the start of the whole show. It was like they were turning on a huge machine slowly and letting it warm up. The music was the biggest part but only a part of the whole experience. The band was on stage, movies played on them and behind them. Pigs, beds, and airplanes flew around you, and a big metallic glassy flower covered in diamonds woke, began to slowly spin, open its petals, and send pieces of light everywhere.
So, you must realize that there are quite a number of reaction video makers out there. What separates them from you is that you don't stop start, stop start. You listen to the entire song/video and comment after, which I think gives you the whole picture. Thank you so much for doing it this way. You rock.
It annoys me too, when people pause too much and mess with the flow of the song. But some of them do it for safety reasons, just to ensure they don't catch a copyright strike which is understandable.
To really get the message, watching a short documentary on Syd Barrett. A quite a bit of their music has a reference to Syd. Too many people bash the guy.
Strange but true: The Wish You Were Here album, is partly dedicated to their former band mate Syd Barrett who left in 1968 due to a mental breakdown brought on by heavy LSD use. During the recording in 1975, Syd unexpectedly turned up at the studio and they initially didn't recognise him, not having literally seen him since he left.
Correct , after 7yrs they did not recognize him because he ballooned in weight and shaved his hair/eyebrows ( as depicted in the film ) , only when they looked into his eyes then they recognized him . Food for thought
SYD -- Shine on You crazy Diamond -- This is a song about the former lead singer and founding member of Pink Floyd Syd Barret whom they lost to schizophrenia -- There is a few of their songs dedicated to him -- Wish You Were here is one of them too -- There are some sad amazing stories the bandmates tell about their old friend
I dropped acid on the way into the show when they were promoting the animals album. Came in on the grass got a place right up front next to the stage and then fell asleep. When I woke up the only space that wasn’t covered by people was where I was laying. They did all of animals. All of Wish You Were Here and all of Dark Side Of The Moon. Totally awesome, when the show is over I couldn’t hear a damn thing. I saw thousands of people moving around not making any noise. Fortunately, my hearing came back. Thanks for the video I like your style!
If you appreciate sound quality, this was the best live band ever. I saw them on this tour, second to last row on the field, shitty spot and low expectations, but the audio was as good as it is in this video. Amazing, felt like you were wearing headphones. That's what I call fan appreciation.
this concert was the ultimate, the best and the last time we are going to witness a greatness. everything about this concert was magical. they were way ahead of their times and ahead even now
Anyone else get super baked out or drop acid, then go see a laser show in a big inflatable dome while laying on your back and looking up while they played this entire album front to back in the 80s? Just me? Can't be. Good times! Of all the things I've loved and lost, I miss my mind the most....and the 80s.
@@kesleycottrell1416 I don't want to sound like I am encouraging anyone to do drugs, I AM NOT, but I must say that doing psychedelics like LSD, Mescaline and magic mushrooms back in the days of my experimental youth ('69-71) was a blast. They magnified the intensity of everything. I (and no one that i knew personally) never had a bad experience, but of course there were stories about dangers. Both Syd Barrett and Peter Green are famous for supposedly losing their minds due to too much LSD. However, from what I have heard, both these men had some emotional problems before they ever did drugs, which may have contributed to their bad experiences. The drugs around now days are MUCH more dangerous in my opinion -Meth, coke, fentanyl, heroin and whatever else there is are more addicting and damaging. I read in TIME mag that psychiatrists have been using LSD to successfully treat patients in a clinical setting with PTSD. Interesting...
Yep, “SOYCD” was the opening of the album “Wish You Were Here”, which, like a lot of Pink Floyd’s work, was initially inspired by their wrenching experience dealing with their “lost” member, Syd Barrett, and his deteriorating mental condition. But of course, that’s just the inspiration for the writing of the piece. In the end, like all great music, the art itself takes over, and the universal impression it leaves becomes the “message”. In the end, it’s all about sound (and image), and however it registers inside the back of our brains. It graduates from personal confessional tale-telling to something far more sublime. It’s no longer a bunch of talking points - it’s poetry. THAT is the essence of real art, and why we’re forever awed by the cosmic power of this beautiful band.
Their band mate was a creative genius who just kinda went off the deep end but was a one of a kind. They loved him but couldn’t stand his BS so they had to kick him out of the band but he turned up now and then to the studio and they still loved him.
Glad to say I got to see Pink Floyd live and was in the stadium for the sound check, around 100 people total in the stadium at the time, stood around 30 feet from the band center stage, awesome just being there for the sound check, and the full concert was yet to come 😎👍
Yes, a masterpiece. Seeing you blown away is very cool :) I seen this concert in NY, unreal from start to finish. After Queen, one of the best live bands I've seen.
Nice. Floyd were doing cosmic exotic stuff early on in the late Sixties when Barrett was a part of that ALCHEMICAL group. Their music was not individualistic but rather Universal, imo.
You’re the only music reaction channel that matters to me Biz. Love your reactions and your love for music. You’re the music reaction champ, well, my music reaction champ!
This is nothing compared to the original version from the album "Whish you were here". They even made it shorter. In the original you have the guy who actually wrote this beatifull words singing the lyrics and they take more time before the singing. When reacting to Pink Floyd it is best to avoid 80s and 90s Floyd and stick to the 60s and 70s.
C here's the problem BIZ RW's not performing with the band here. It's not the REAL,REAL,PF. Gotta always do the studio version first. Dam bro ure better then this. It's not about the views it's the Real Reaction we deserve from u. This isn't the real version!!!
According to Roger Waters, he is Pink Floyd and the others are nothing. I think that this proves otherwise. He is an egomaniac. I know who I would rather see. The fact that these 3 brilliant magicians all stayed together and remained close shows it all. NONE of them had any contact with Waters. Dislike the man intensely for his arrogance!
That would be Sid Barrett he be joined a LSD commune. If you go back to the earlier works like astronomy domain set the controls to the heart of the Sun or Interstellar Overdrive you'll see the beginnings of what made their sound. I first purchased Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1968. The album I have most listened to is called Ummagumma. It features those songs and many others. ✌️🤠🏞️🐂
Pink Floyd is one of the rare band that you can choose any song off of any album and it will be a masterpiece.
I don't think so

Legendary.
The greatest band of all time.
Masterpiece
They are a ONE OF A KIND
Where music stops David Gilmour continues. He creates a connection to your soul with his guitar. He takes you on a musical journey.
I am 65 years old now, but Floyd still makes me tingle !

Saw that show in Tampa 94
His guitar work has always made me feel like Silk fabric feels...SMOOOOOTH 😁! 🤘😈
Shine on Syd you Crazy diamond 💎 ❤️
It's the band speaking to Syd Barrett of what was lost and what could have been
Now u know why there the G.O.A.T.!!!!
What a beautiful tribute to Syd Barrett. This is one of those songs I love to be in the car and turn it up as loud as it will go.
This is an absolute masterpiece, stunning😊
It is. The intro. Once they get cooking the whole (huge) crowd is silent and watching and listening in awe. I know. Saw Pulse on tour.

no dome, but my friends and I did drop acid and sit around REALLY getting into the music for hours. Great fun. Of course would not do that anymore😜😇
I dropped acid at the Animals concert in Cleveland l think it was 77 or 78. It was by far one of the most mind blowing time of my life.
I heard about those laser shows on the radio when they were in Los Angeles, and I wished so much that I could go. Jealous of you.🙂

Was at Pulse... so, yeah...
This will be played 100 years from now
It s brilliant. It omage to Sid Berret. He had a life no 1 could truly understand
always amazing how PF will lead you through a song and hand off to different instruments to tell another story the whole way through
Your facial expressions said it all. Great song, liked your reaction. Greetings from Belgium

I was at this concert in philly. it was from their division bell tour...a good time
You’re right. Masterpiece.
I'll just mention the name Syd Barrett the diamond they speak about too much acid man, he blew his mind out in a car
What a song. What a performance. Nice.
Yes, a masterpiece. Seeing you blown away is very cool :)

No, this is actually the intro to the song Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
Somebody told me long time ago that you don't watch Pink Floyd, you experiment them. That's what I'm doing for many years. Excellent reaction.
This is the best concert ever put on film. You need to listen to One of These Days from this concert, it goes so hard!
Love your channel bro, and your reactions to great music
Thank you
Reading the comments what else needs to be said I was lucky enough to see them at the garden in the 80s enough said
Yes intr to the hole concert
How many bands realy sound that good live , very very few . Pink Floyd is one of a kind with no equil .
for me pink floyd is like space
AWESOME, AWSOME, AWESOME
That was some goooooood sh**
No just the intro too this song 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃🙂
S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 😍
Please keep the Live Pink floyd songs coming man! Love them! David is on another level!
They best ❤😂
on the turning away Live is amazing too
Yeah, crazy song to start a concert with. I think it’s a great choice but not immediately obvious.
Yes Yes yes
Late to your video for this but damn I love this version of this song.
I consider part two of this song (aka pts. 6-9) just a skosh better.
❤
There is no dark side it's all dark
Sid Barrett was replaced, big change when they did.
Written for Syd❤
S hine on
Y ou crazy

You have to listen to Comfortably Numb from the same concert. The second guitar solo is one of the wonders of the modern world

Song about Syd Barrett. OG member of PF. Replaced by the awesome David Gilmour.
If you'd cross Gilmour, Wright or Mason on the streets , you'd have no idea they are humongous rock stars....
Bro you missed out on reacting to the sax player switching from tenor sax to an alto! Lisa plays a mean tenor too!🎷
Sax player blew me away! 😅😅😅
Most Pink Floyd intros are long.
Not in the car, in blotter form or maybe pure in your tea or coffee
I'm from Manchester, England and I'm 53 years old so what but pink floyed is a total planet we don't quite know yet and that was years ago man!!
has any body noticed there is a stargate???
There is a great bass line to this song, turn the base up or just try to concentrate on it.
P.F.means less is more or so much out of so little. acid blues
