I love how the entire experience comes in and blows away in the wind. We start out thinking, what is about to happen... then you're left thinking, what the HELL just happened. So thumbs up if you think Rob Squad needs to watch the Live at Pompeii video.
Can you imagine what they'd be like if they sat and binge listened to the whole discography? Pretty sure Amber would achieve Goddess status but I can;t imagine how Jay would feel.
@@douglasernst9477 I'm not doubting you but honestly, I hear "cut." I've listened over and over and hear nothing that sounds like "dice." And 100% of my searches on Google say the same thing..."cut." (And frankly, "dice you into little pieces" sounds like something Julia Child might say.)
I grew up listening to Floyd as my dad had all the albums and used to watch them live back in the early days before they got really big. In fairness I always remember him saying to me it was "dice ' but an internet search says it's cut. Strange, because I'm sure he said it was dice when I asked him back in the 90s.. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter..Took me down memory lane hearing this as I'd forgotten about this time. It's from the Album 'meddle' if I recall correctly.
I love this song by Pink Floyd! BTW, the full lyric is, "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces," which makes the song even creepier. This is my favorite song on an album full of great songs, including the epic "Echoes," which I'm pretty sure y'all, J. & Amber, are now ready for. It's very Proggy. In fact, I think the two of you are finally ready for the end-all-be-all Progressive Rock song, the incredible epic, "Close To The Edge," by Yes. It's a musical journey that will take you two to places the two of you never knew even existed. ✌❤
I think the Earls Court version blows the Pompeii version away, the Pompeii recordings just didn't have the quality due to how long ago it was recorded and recording drums back then wasn't as good as it is now IMHO.
You have to put this song into context, this was released at the beginning of the 70's when the world was used to a decade of mainly pop music. Imagine being a school kid playing this song on their record player for the first time back then, you'd have heard nothing like it before. Few popular bands have pushed the boundaries like Pink Floyd.
This came out in 1971. I wonder if there was any influence/cross pollination in either direction between this era of Pink Floyd and the Miles Davis Bitches Brew era.
Scared the crap out of me the first time I listened to it, I had headphones on, I thought the pounding was someone trying to beat my door down. Definitely was NOT expecting that....
@@marksummers1700 and not to mention Hendrix, the Cream. Led Zeppelin …..and on it goes. The late 60s going into the 70’s were a musical goldmine of a wide variety of music….in fact ‘Weird Scenes inside this goldmine’….to nearly quote the Doors
Jay...as a bassist I gotta say....bassists don't typically play "chords." We mostly play "notes.". Sure I can play a chord on my bass, but not very often at all. The bass is actually a rhythm instrument. More attached to the drums. Waters is using very cool analog delay on his sound here. Gilmour's slide work is deep. Love you both. God bless you and my family here. Peace out and stay groovy.
No truer words have been spoken! Whether Roger Waters or David Gilmour at the helm, I get transported to another plane of existence that only the end of the track can pull me out of! I have really only known their music since 1989 (the age of 19), so I was a little late to the scene, but I have always since regarded Pink Floyd as the best and most creative band to have ever walked the Earth!
Yes! From the Meddle album, it was earlier than DSOTM. David Gilmour on the heavily distorted lap steel guitar. This album has the song Echoes on it- a must for any Floyd fan. The only lyrics are from drummer Nick Mason “ one of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces”
Imagine this: You are standing in the audience and from the start everything is dark, very very dark, the baseline is so strong and loud it actually dictates your heartbeat and then you hear "ONE OF THESE DAYS" and at that point 6:53 the whole stadium gets lit up as bright as day. I was there and my god the feeling cannot be desribed I actually feel pitty for those that never experienced Pink Floyd Live.
Was on front row for this gig.....Dave G 6ft to my left Roger W 6ft to my right.....when the thunder flashes went off at "one of these days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces..." went off my trippy little self shot 2 ft out of my seat!!!😂😂😂😂😂fabulous gig....like all floyd were. So very lucky they were from my era. Once again guys, thanks for the memory❤ do Careful with that axe Eugene
Oh my God I absolutely love this comment! Thank you so much for sharing that. I haven’t really gotten into Floyd until the past few years and I’m 50. My big sister was obsessed in the early 80s but it didn’t register with me. What a fucking amazing experience you had!
@@stacybenstockklein449 I was front row for Atom Heart Mother, was at the first Dark Side of the Moon debut gig in London.....THAT was absolutely out of this world.... a large model aircraft zoomed from the back of the auditorium right into the back of the stage and boom!!!!! Freaked me out of my mind🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 one of the best nights of my life!!!! I can die happy🤣😘 been lucky to have seen lots of Floyd they NEVER disappoint
The first time I heard this (on the radio, as a boy, in the '70s) I couldn't believe it. It was just a bass note that went on and on and on. I thought, "Wow, who would do a song like this???" It was a fantastic introduction to the Floyd.
To me, this was the beginning of modern Pink Floyd. I encourage you to listen to the song Echoes off the same album. Its long but an absolute masterpiece. Enjoy.
Side 1 of “Meddle” is very eclectic, luring you into a false sense of security. Then you flip over to side 2 and are hit with the magnum opus that came to define the Pink Floyd symphonic soundscape.
Pink Floyd was an experience live. Just an amazing concert. I saw the Dark Side Of The Moon concert tour. They played about half of Wish You Were Here album months before it was released and a lot of their older music. No backup band but they played about 2 and a half hours.
Amber you are correct. I too am a huge fan of Pink Floyd since I was 12 years old. Only wish I would have been able to see them live. I’m 61 years old and I’m learning many Floyd songs acoustically. Hope to record them. I just can’t get enough of!
I was in high school, tripping to all pink , mountain, jimmy, etc. What a time to be alive. Thank you. You remind me of how we would sit around, listening. We were absolutely in awl, just like you. You're beautiful people!
BABY driver, they are on VER that's the original Peter crafts. Peter crafts. Not only was there a good drummer, but he had the VRI CA. The voice of kiss I had to get only lost the drummer with Kris. Avalanumber was crazy. Loves to sing around a question now
Great reaction!! What a way to start my Friday. My first time hearing this, my best friend and I were on mushrooms - talk about a headspace song!! The panning on the speakers, the overall sound - life changing experience! Floyd will always be known as innovators. They pushed the limits (& created a few of their own) of what tech could do at the time. Forever experimenting - and this song is a perfect example. Indeed - to think this was 1971 - making music that would sound ahead of their time even now, 50 years on! That's impressive. LOVE this song - album opens with this, and ends with Echoes...perfection! Cheers.
Oh thank you thank you thank you!!! My favorite band too, my dear!!! This is such a classic. So much of my teenage life spent listening to this! There is no best Floyd. It's ALL THE BEST.
Hi, you two! It's Andrew Erroch fae Paisley in Scotland here. I'm glad you took a trip with this one from the psychedelic 70's. This is one that's great to see performed live. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Pink Floyd live but, thankfully, the excellent Australian Pink Floyd Show comes to Glasgow every year on their world tour. Try to catch them when they are near you. For now, have a look at their performances on UA-cam. They add an Australian theme to some of the songs, which is fun. For example, for this one, when that line is uttered, something very special and particularly Australian happens... By the way, have you added Pink Floyd The Wall to you list of movies to watch and react to yet? It stars "Sir" Bob Geldoff as Pink. He is mostly known as the lead singer of The Boomtown Rats and also for putting Band Aid together in 1984 to help people starving in Africa, followed by Live Aid in 1985. He brought all of that together with Scottish singer Midge Ure, lead singer of Ultravox and other earlier bands. Check them out too! Æx 🙏
Saw it live last year from Nick Masons band who included amongst other great musicians Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet, song I first heard in the mid 70's finally being played live and I saw Floyd twice but they didn't play this song, was magical.
The P.U.L.S.E. live version of this is just stunning. Please watch it! Also, it said 'One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces.' The speaker is drummer, Nick Mason.
@michaelmueller8772. I read this entire thread to make sure SOMEBODY suggested watching One of These Days at P.U.L.S.E. Live. The TOTAL presentation of sound AND visuals puts it over the top!
I saw Pink Floyd in Vancouver in October, 1971 on their Meddle Tour when they played this and other songs from the Meddle album, plus a few older ones like Careful with that Axe Eugene, and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. I was 19 at the time.
You really should see some of the live performances the lightshow that goes with the music is astonishing and enhances the complete experience. Imagine 20k people in Earls Court almost entranced by the combination of light and sound…. After 2plus hours of concert when the audience was departing they were still experiencing the effects, they were the most well behaved fans making their way to their transport home. They filled Earls Court 14 nights straight( 20k fans per night) Pink Floyd’s sound quality live is just as good as studio and remember the Pulse concert was 30 yes 30 years ago and no one has put on a better show from then to now.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" Nick Mason voice altered. That used to scare the sh*t out of me when I was a kid. My mom and her boyfriend would play this on their stereo system with huge speakers. Gave me nightmares lol. The dueling basses and David Gilmours sick guitar playing make this my favorite Floyd song ever.
Greatest rock band of all time!!! (The words were "One of these days, I'm going to cut you up into little pieces.") Cutting edge, in the early 1970s...
"Live at Pompei is an experience not to be missed if you want to get the essence of Pink Floyd as they emerged from obscurity to the legends that they became.
Love how Amber gets so much of Pink Floyd. For me, I'm lost in a mountain range in a winter storm on this track, and falling, falling into a crevasse. An early PF song that always brings a smile is "Arnold Lane " - darkly comical.
As another commenter said, you guys NEED to listen to ECHOES, from the same album as One of These Days. Echoes is a 23 minute journey, loosing yourself in a multipart masterpiece. I've been a PF fan since the late sixties when my older brother loaned me their album called Ummagumma (don't ask, but at the time candles and mind altering substances were mandatory for that album :) and I consider Echoes their best song, along with Comfortably Numb.
The first time I listened to this song I was in the proper, mescaline state of mind. It was intense. It's a great instrumental except it technically isn't because of the Nick Mason spoken vocal that gives the song its title. This is how experimental Pink Floyd was prior to Dark Side of the Moon.
I'm sure someone will correct me but I'm pretty sure this is the ONLY instance of Nick Mason having a vocal on a Pink Floyd track. "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces". I always thought of this as a companion piece to one of their even earlier tracks "Careful With that Axe Eugene".
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Careful with that Axe Eugene (Ummagumma Live version), Biding my Time, Cymbaline, and especially ECHOES (full original Meddle version!)
Saw them play this live as a thunderstorm was coming in…being old has its advantages …Gilmore plays this on a pedal steel 🤘. Don’t forget to listen to their Umma Gumma album. ‘Several Species of Small Furry Creatures in a Cave Groovin to a Pict” Song 👏
Songs don't always have to tell a story or deliver a message, sometimes the point is just to create a mood or a feeling, something Pink Floyd is very good at. Love you guys.
They 'gouged' us for $8.50 both times I saw them in the Boston Garden in 75 & 77, LOL! Lowest I paid was $3.50 for 4 hours of Hot Tuna under the stars in the Berkshire Hills in W Mass in the mid 70s Often paid $5.00 or so for a concert that decade, those were the days!
@vicprovost2561 Very kool. I've seen Hot Tuna featuring Papa John Creech (spelling) back in the day. I know the concert was but a few dollars. Those were the 'daze".
If you want to hear the best of Pink Floyd, check out their album Ummagumma, specifically the songs: Astronomy Domine, Careful With That Axe Eugene, and Set Controls For The Heart of The Sun. You haven't experiences PF until you've heard these live recordings.
Amber is correct, no other group or performer was doing anything like this song at the time. A friend of mine worked at a record pressing shop and knew I was Pink Floyd devote since Umma Gumma, he gave me one of the press masters for this song which I still have today as a prized possession. It wore the needle on my turntable out very quickly.
I first heard this at 1AM in 1981 I was 14;years old could not sleep had the radio playing softly ..I had heard a lot of Pink Floyd songs but this really got to me . 1 week later I had the album .🤘🏽
I was in DaNang Vietnam in 72-73 and at our unit we had hootches and one of them that nobody slept in we used it to put all our giant speakers and amps and reel to reel and cassette tapes, turntables and had our own music studio and I heard Meddle and this song for the first time. We would all hang out there when not on duty and listen to Pink Floyd and all the other great music of the time. I was only 19 years young at the time and we freaked out all the old timers there but they left us alone. Now I am one of those old timers over 72 and still listen to Pink Floyd and now living in the Philippines still kicken hahahaha. I love watching you guys listening to Pink Floyd so keep it up they have a huge rabbit hole keep digging....
Two early Pink Floyd tracks you must check out are Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. These are Syd Barretts Pink Floyd. One of Roger's first credited songs is Free Four, which is in my top 10 Floyd songs
I always take it as the earth wind is before life..the soft sound is earlier forms of life, then eventually mankind, then your birth then the cut you into pieces is death. Then death of mankind, then back to earth silence.
I was 15 years old in August 1988 at Nassau Coliseum on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour when they opened the second half of the show with this. I had a 22nd row floor ticket, they brought out the inflatable pig from the Animals cover and it was doing its thing right above us while Gilmour was doing his thing on slide guitar. Pretty wild, and of course with a certain smell in the air, LOL. Next Floyd suggestion: "Dogs" from Animals. It would have to be a special-edition video as the piece is 17 minutes long, but it is SO good. Great reaction!
After hearing "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered. Together and Grooving With A Pict" , I'd swear he says "One of these days I'm gonna dance with the little people."
The great John Peel, BBC Radio presenter and journalist, described this piece as a “significant appraisal of the contemporary social situation.” (John Peel discovered and/or effected numerous careers in the UK for decades.)
a lot of what pink floyd did, was experimenting with sound... synthesizers and guitar pedals... and tape of sounds, like the cash register introducing the song Money...
I love how the entire experience comes in and blows away in the wind. We start out thinking, what is about to happen... then you're left thinking, what the HELL just happened.
So thumbs up if you think Rob Squad needs to watch the Live at Pompeii video.
Definitely!
Can you imagine what they'd be like if they sat and binge listened to the whole discography? Pretty sure Amber would achieve Goddess status but I can;t imagine how Jay would feel.
Oh !,yea! For sure
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces." That's drummer Nick Mason's distorted voice.
Wow. Didn't know that
The only vocal he recorded on any PF song.
....and, WELL DONE, TOO: VERY CREEPY!!!
Fun fact Nick said this because a LA dj made him mad
He sang that with his teeth clenched.
Picture this. It’s 1967, I was 15, and I hear my first Pink Floyd album. Life was never the same again 🇬🇧
" One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces. " is what the voice said

It's from the Album 'meddle' if I recall correctly.
Guys, this is nearly 53 years old!!!! Imagine listening to this in 1971 (it was very exciting, I tell you!)

j its write cut you into little pieces but they actually say rip you into little pieces , Roger said it sounded better
@@woodycorson2116 Just epically poetic...
I agree with the suggestions re going deeper into their prog rock journey, especially with “Close To The Edge”.
Please watch their "Live At Pompeii" performance
I think the Earls Court version blows the Pompeii version away, the Pompeii recordings just didn't have the quality due to how long ago it was recorded and recording drums back then wasn't as good as it is now IMHO.
Pink Floyd ECHOES Live at Pompeii will blow your mind !💥✌
I'm hooked
I propose “Careful with that Axe, Eugene.” “Set the Controls for the heart of the Sun!” And “Wots, … Uh, the Deal?”
Astronimy Dominae, space music for Amber.
Great music for the Eclipse in April.
agree on the "careful" - sadly Eugene wasnt - and the the studio version
Absolutely but "Careful" should definitely be the Ummagumma or Pompeii versions though
You just got me high from reading.
The live-version of this on PULSE is a real joyride. Wild boars, laptop steel and happy musicians in a cascade of lights!
Yes. Pulse is the best video of a live show l have ever seen!
It was absolutely amazing seeing it in person. Cheers....

Don’t forget that Frank Zappa released ‘Absolutely Free’ in 1967….so the 1960s wasnt all ‘pop’ music. I know because I grew up with that decade…..
Scared the crap out of me the first time I listened to it, I had headphones on, I thought the pounding was someone trying to beat my door down. Definitely was NOT expecting that....

Yep. My favorite album from The Floyd.
Like a lot of people have said "Echoes" is total chill music even though it's very long, a whole album side. It's mandatory for the true Floyd fan.
Agreed.
Pink Floyd fans simply don't listen to Pink Floyd's music, they experience it.

@@sourisvoleur4854 great song, 70's! Hold your head high!
I absolutely echo the pleas for you to settle in, dim the lights, and enjoy the sonic massage that is "Echoes".
This is PINK FLOYD’s DOCTOR WHO inspired song. You can hear the TARDIS early in the song.
Gilmour plays a part of the tv theme tune in the middle section.
"Sheep" also has a Dr Who portion about midway thru the song.
Absolutely, and sometimes when they did it live, they leaned into that classic tv theme.
This is the music that got me into Pink Floyd I am now retired and yes I am still listening to this awesome music
"Echoes" is a must from this album (Meddle)!
Totally agree!
agreed
Great tune! Love how Rick Wright sneaks in the "Doctor Who" theme at 3:56

Lyrics are, "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces'
BABY driver, they are on VER that's the original Peter crafts. Peter crafts. Not only was there a good drummer, but he had the VRI CA. The voice of kiss I had to get only lost the drummer with Kris. Avalanumber was crazy. Loves to sing around a question now
And if my memory serves the voice is Nick Mason, the drummer.
In the live Pulse concert, they incorporate the Dr.Who theme, a British Si Fi series I grew up with. Brilliant. They are truly Time Lords
There was a bar in London named The UFO Club. Pink Floyd was the house band. It was a high spot.
ECHOES in POMPEII, Amber - It's STUNNING!! One Of These Days is a BANGER, as well! THANKS, YA'LL!!!

I saw Pink Floyd in Vancouver in October, 1971 on their Meddle Tour when they played this and other songs from the Meddle album, plus a few older ones like Careful with that Axe Eugene, and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. I was 19 at the time.
At the Coliseum?
At the Gardens Auditorium
Sorry, PNE Gardens Auditorium
You really should see some of the live performances the lightshow that goes with the music is astonishing and enhances the complete experience. Imagine 20k people in Earls Court almost entranced by the combination of light and sound…. After 2plus hours of concert when the audience was departing they were still experiencing the effects, they were the most well behaved fans making their way to their transport home. They filled Earls Court 14 nights straight( 20k fans per night) Pink Floyd’s sound quality live is just as good as studio and remember the Pulse concert was 30 yes 30 years ago and no one has put on a better show from then to now.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" Nick Mason voice altered. That used to scare the sh*t out of me when I was a kid. My mom and her boyfriend would play this on their stereo system with huge speakers. Gave me nightmares lol. The dueling basses and David Gilmours sick guitar playing make this my favorite Floyd song ever.
Got to love it ! Oops little children in the other room ! Turn it up they will love it too
This song always reminds me of old school Dr. Who tv show back in the 70’s
Set your controls for the heart of the sun.
My favorite Pink Floyd song of all time! It's not even close:)
There are 2 basses being played. Gilmore played a bass as well to give it this unique sound. Gilmore also played the slide steel guitar.
Walters played the other?
Greatest rock band of all time!!! (The words were "One of these days, I'm going to cut you up into little pieces.") Cutting edge, in the early 1970s...
Pink Floyd does such imaginative things with their music, the head phones help the listener pick up so much. This was off a great album. 😎🍺☮️
They are one of the few bands that REALLY know how to record in stereo . They make stereo sound like quad-discrete .
"Live at Pompei is an experience not to be missed if you want to get the essence of Pink Floyd as they emerged from obscurity to the legends that they became.
Love how Amber gets so much of Pink Floyd. For me, I'm lost in a mountain range in a winter storm on this track, and falling, falling into a crevasse.
An early PF song that always brings a smile is "Arnold Lane " - darkly comical.
Really a good album, I love the vibe of St. Tropez
As another commenter said, you guys NEED to listen to ECHOES, from the same album as One of These Days. Echoes is a 23 minute journey, loosing yourself in a multipart masterpiece. I've been a PF fan since the late sixties when my older brother loaned me their album called Ummagumma (don't ask, but at the time candles and mind altering substances were mandatory for that album :) and I consider Echoes their best song, along with Comfortably Numb.
The first time I listened to this song I was in the proper, mescaline state of mind. It was intense. It's a great instrumental except it technically isn't because of the Nick Mason spoken vocal that gives the song its title. This is how experimental Pink Floyd was prior to Dark Side of the Moon.
I'm sure someone will correct me but I'm pretty sure this is the ONLY instance of Nick Mason having a vocal on a Pink Floyd track. "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces". I always thought of this as a companion piece to one of their even earlier tracks "Careful With that Axe Eugene".
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Careful with that Axe Eugene (Ummagumma Live version), Biding my Time, Cymbaline, and especially ECHOES (full original Meddle version!)
That thumping bass with the echo combined with the slide guitar... epic.
"One of these days
I'm going to cut you into little pieces" - Lyrics for this Song!! 💀☮
Saw them play this live as a thunderstorm was coming in…being old has its advantages …Gilmore plays this on a pedal steel 🤘. Don’t forget to listen to their Umma Gumma album. ‘Several Species of Small Furry Creatures in a Cave Groovin to a Pict” Song 👏
Thank you for playing what is one of my all time favorites.
Songs don't always have to tell a story or deliver a message, sometimes the point is just to create a mood or a feeling, something Pink Floyd is very good at. Love you guys.
I adore this song, particularly the little nod to Doctor Who once the phaser effect kicks in on the bass.
The real Pink Floyd🤘
The best era of Pink Floyd, IMHO
Fortunate to see Pink Floyd live at Winterland in San Francisco in 1972. Ticket price was $3.75. Yes, that's three dollars & and seventy-five cents.🙂
Yes, back when minimum wage was $1.60/hour and you could rent an apartment for $100/month, even in San Francisco.
They 'gouged' us for $8.50 both times I saw them in the Boston Garden in 75 & 77, LOL! Lowest I paid was $3.50 for 4 hours of Hot Tuna under the stars in the Berkshire Hills in W Mass in the mid 70s Often paid $5.00 or so for a concert that decade, those were the days!
@vicprovost2561
Very kool. I've seen Hot Tuna featuring Papa John Creech (spelling) back in the day. I know the concert was but a few dollars. Those were the 'daze".
@@johnsilva9139
So true.👍
I saw them in '77 for $7.50 in Philly
If you want to hear the best of Pink Floyd, check out their album Ummagumma, specifically the songs: Astronomy Domine, Careful With That Axe Eugene, and Set Controls For The Heart of The Sun. You haven't experiences PF until you've heard these live recordings.
Wow - I (kind of) remember trippin' out to this one - love it. The live version from Earls Court 1994 is pure magic.
Amber is correct, no other group or performer was doing anything like this song at the time. A friend of mine worked at a record pressing shop and knew I was Pink Floyd devote since Umma Gumma, he gave me one of the press masters for this song which I still have today as a prized possession. It wore the needle on my turntable out very quickly.
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Pink Floyd songs to react to: "Dogs", "Sheep", "Welcome to the Machine", "Young Lust", and "Time".
Dogs is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song. The guitar work in that is awesome.
They've done probably all of these already.
No they haven't.@@dirtylibtards
I first heard this at 1AM in 1981 I was 14;years old could not sleep had the radio playing softly ..I had heard a lot of Pink Floyd songs but this really got to me . 1 week later I had the album .🤘🏽
I was needing this!! Relax , let your mind go, and enjoy it all!
You can tell by the lyrics, it's a love song
Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time. Try "Green is the Colour", "The Nile Song", "Julia Dream", and "Sheep".
The Nile Song is a banger!
@vicprovost2561 I think Jay would really enjoy that one. It's the heaviest Pink Floyd song.
I was in DaNang Vietnam in 72-73 and at our unit we had hootches and one of them that nobody slept in we used it to put all our giant speakers and amps and reel to reel and cassette tapes, turntables and had our own music studio and I heard Meddle and this song for the first time. We would all hang out there when not on duty and listen to Pink Floyd and all the other great music of the time. I was only 19 years young at the time and we freaked out all the old timers there but they left us alone. Now I am one of those old timers over 72 and still listen to Pink Floyd and now living in the Philippines still kicken hahahaha. I love watching you guys listening to Pink Floyd so keep it up they have a huge rabbit hole keep digging....
I can’t believe you reacted to this song. This is pure psychedelia. Good job.
See Emily Play
It sucks
@@donkey3187sorry you can’t dance to it. Lol
@@donkey3187Not as much as YOU!
😉😂😂
Psychedelia my arse, heavy rock, plain and simple
Absolutely, positively my favorite Pink Floyd song. If you ever buy a high-end audio system, bring a copy of this and put it at 120 dB.
If you're on searching substances
This song could take you to a place that you never wanna come back from
Two early Pink Floyd tracks you must check out are Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. These are Syd Barretts Pink Floyd. One of Roger's first credited songs is Free Four, which is in my top 10 Floyd songs
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Young Lust"!!
Do you know Jordan's email address?
Ones does not simply listen to "Young Lust" without first listening to "Empty Spaces" 💯
@@J.R.Steel85 Yes, definitely must listen to Empty Spaces before Young Lust, it leads into it beautifully and both are great songs.
Amber….please WATCH echoes at Pompei!!
@@colinrobinson5458 Hey how do get Jay and Amber to acknowledge a song request?
I always take it as the earth wind is before life..the soft sound is earlier forms of life, then eventually mankind, then your birth then the cut you into pieces is death. Then death of mankind, then back to earth silence.
Those words are the ONLY TIME that Nick Mason, the drummer, EVER sang any lyrics. 😉👍
I’m not sure I’d call it singing, just spoken word from Nick.
Nope. Check out 'scream thy last scream', an unreleased Barrett-penned (post-breakdown, extremely discordant) track.
I was 15 years old in August 1988 at Nassau Coliseum on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour when they opened the second half of the show with this. I had a 22nd row floor ticket, they brought out the inflatable pig from the Animals cover and it was doing its thing right above us while Gilmour was doing his thing on slide guitar. Pretty wild, and of course with a certain smell in the air, LOL. Next Floyd suggestion: "Dogs" from Animals. It would have to be a special-edition video as the piece is 17 minutes long, but it is SO good. Great reaction!
Different pig I think, the pig from the album cover was bigger than the one I saw on that tour, dancing above the crowd with glowing eyes.
Ohh boy, this is different. One of my favorites though.
One of my favorite Floyd songs
After hearing "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered. Together and Grooving With A Pict" , I'd swear he says "One of these days I'm gonna dance with the little people."
Used to park out by the reservoir, put this on, lay on the hood and watch the stars. . . . . . yeah, we did that too.
The great John Peel, BBC Radio presenter and journalist, described this piece as a “significant appraisal of the contemporary social situation.” (John Peel discovered and/or effected numerous careers in the UK for decades.)
a lot of what pink floyd did, was experimenting with sound... synthesizers and guitar pedals... and tape of sounds, like the cash register introducing the song Money...
