This is so good. I've seen Rodger Waters live but this is a whole band song and without david Gilmour and the rest of the band it wasn't the same but still cool to see
A lonely birthday after losing my dad, my marriage and my sanity within a week of each other brought me here. The algorithm now knows the contents of our souls. Thank you RNGesus 2021 came out swinging
It isn't Pink Floyd, but no-one is..except Pink Floyd. It's Umphrey's McGee and they are playing a song, that I can't even imagine to be able to play. It it's awesome. To you who critizise it, I dare you to do a better job..... Staying so close to the original not only shows their respect for the original but also that they very skilled musicians. I can only say "I wish I were there". I must have been absolutely magic.
Just "re-visited" the video again, as so many times before, this past month. I am blown away everytime and in total awe of Umphreys Mcgee`s stunning performance. I am and have always been a massive Pink Floyd fan. Music was born in 1962 when Pink Floyd was formed, in my opinion :) :D. Since Pink Floyd is no more, the only way to get a taste of the magic is to seek out concerts with some of the many brilliant coverbands around. I know Umprey's McGee isn't a Pink Floyd cover Band as such, but this version of "S O Y C D", is one of the best if not the best cover of this song I ever had the pleasure to listen to. An european tour, including Denmark is needed !!!! I would go to the concert, just to hear this song and getting all the other tunes on their set-list, performed equally brilliant, as a bonus.
Nice comment. They seem to have good technique, but that's only one part of music. You have to got a "feeling" (can't find a better word) for it and put your soul into music. One of my favorites is Mike Oldfield. Watch his early Live concerts. He plays some tunes wrong, there are technically better players than him, but still I wish I had the chance to experience it live. I can feel him even through the video. It just flows out of him and that's for example what Pink Floyd also delivers.
I saw these guys in 90s in Milwaukee and they had an amazing show!! I also experienced pink floyd at the milwauke county stadium in the mid 80s life was the best!! Its a shame that folks will never experience this kind of ever again 🙁 WHAT HAPPENED!!!!
❤️ beautiful, when my brother Dan Becker passed away, I got the lyrics to this song tattooed on my back. PF was his favorite. Remember when I ever sa the iconic prism, on a poster in his room when I was little. is grave marker even has "see you on the dark side of the moon" on it. His I miss him. One day I will hopefully track down one of his guitars. Thank you Umphrey McGee's for supporting my brother. He lived a amazing life. 💎🎸
I agree. No one out there comes near their level of virtuosity as a band. But I have a love/hate relationship with these guys. Sometimes they scare the shit out of me especially if I'm in an alternate state of mind if you know what I mean. Yet I keep going back and have seen them 20+ times. Yeah it's weird.
I've never even heard of these guys but it's heartening for an old Floyd fan from the 70's to hear someone pay homage, especially one of their not so mainstream songs.
They're not Pink Floyd...they're Umphrey's McGee. They know dam well they are not Pink Floyd, however, it does not stop them from performing a poignant, tight rendition of Shine on you Crazy Diamond...well done! Umphrey's McGee...well done indeed. Carry on you jamolicous, rock star band. Pile on many more layers...and shine!
I was at this show on a head full. There was a thunderstorm in the distance and you could see lightning striking over the denver area. The what I think was full moon stayed hidden most of the night until they played this and it slowly emerged from behind the clouds above the stage. lt all came together so well. I was spun but will never forget that.
Totally knocked it out of the park on this one. Phenomenal guitar playing, this is a great rendition of the original. Can't see how anyone would give this performance a thumbs down but definitely a two thumbs up from me.
I typically hate covers because most bands do a bad job, especially when trying to cover Pink Floyd. You dudes crushed it and did them proud. Quality, thanks.
Captures a Pink Floyd vibe without trying to sound exactly like the Floyd; what more could you ask for?? This rocks, and I dig it greatly, even having been fortunate enough to see Gilmour himself play it! Really love the slightly more aggressive sound in the intro section, reminds me of the 80s Floyd sound
Just awesome, giving new interpretations through live performance of compositions is what keeps classical music alive and relevant today; the same should apply to 'popular music' as well - this one sure sets a high standard for other performances of Shine on you.
As a hard out pink floyd fan I must say, This is the best cover I have ever heard. Talk about doing it their own way but still keeping it floyd. A very well done!
i'm so reliefed when i see him tuning the g string. It was out of tune in frequency ratio. I checked the comment section and did not see anybody commenting about the tuning. Anyways one of the greatest and original covers i've ever heard so far. Good job guys. You did really well by adding your style into it. This is what the word ''cover'' meant to be. Unique.
I’m an old prog rock guy (Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELP, gentile giant etc), who happens to have been a session player for decades. Believe me, there are not a lot of bands out there today that impress me. UM is one of the very few that get my attention, and it’s well deserved. There is a lot of musical prowess in this group of folks. Just give the London sessions or Anchor drops a listen...... It’s really a shame that the general public wouldn’t know good music if it bit them in the a**, especially in the US. Keep making great music, and us people that appreciate it will keep listening.
The Best Cover I've Ever Heard and Seen Of This Classic! Coming from a massive PF fan and someone that considers SOYCD the greatest piece of music of all time
I’m curious the other versions of this not by Pink Floyd. I’d love to check them out, other than Roger Waters which kinda is Pink Floyd cuz he’s there running the show. Thanks!!
Oh. Chills up and down my body. Got to see this song played twice by Roger Waters while with my dad, and dad saw them in Chicago in 70’s and 80’s. Truly a special song to me.
As brilliant as Jake is hearing this makes you really appreciate having seen Floyd back in 70s. Gilmour made the intro guitar lines seamless in a way that lve never seen matched since.
oh man you are in for a treat. Best band in the world. Check out any live version of Ocean Billy or Mantis. Both great songs to get the feel and get hooked
WOW, FUCKING WOOOW!!! THAT WAS FUCKING GREAT!! Never EVER have I heard such a faithful reading of a cover that was at once 1. 99.9% flawlessly accurate in its Note For Note Precision, and 2. Utterly faithful to the spirit of the original without being Pandering. I’ve Never heard such a perfect reading of such an important song. You tend to forget how important such tunes, really such whole Records were to the lives of a Whole Generation. When I looked at the audience in this I was struck by the fact that this song was probably Just As Critically Important to MANY MANY of the audience members as it was for me (at least it was like this for those old enough to remember).
The best ever song to a friend that was lost to mental illness. It does not get any better or more honest in a loving way thatn PF did with this song. They were all heart broken about losing their friend. Such a sad story with a beautiful message. Just ran across this tonight. What a great tribute to one of my favorites
I saw PF in Germany in the 70,s (yes I'm old) yall did an awesome job. Saw dire straits back then to. I'm told I had a great time,but I remember very little,,,because it was the 7o,s and everyone was shiny. 😉
It's crazy to me how I can instantly know/feel the power of a guitarists spirit/soul after listening for 10 seconds. Guitarists especially, but i can do this with all musicians for the most part. After that wierd-ass, kind of annoying comment, all i really have to say is, holy fucking shit 😳 I enjoyed this so fucking much I nearly started weeping tears of ecstatic joy.
This shit was fucking magic; the umph love in the air was thick, and souls were liberated. When they say college is the best four years of your life, they meant july 3rd 2015.
Accolades to UM... In reverence to one of the greatest bands of all time... I know these guys sleep with their instruments. Tremendous musicians... David Gilmour would be proud!
Got stuck in traffic going into the 1st Bannaroo and spent 12 hrs. and 15 miles with you guys. Mary played Uno with the band in the rv. I walked the road boozin, and Jesse snailed the Subaru. I will never forget that night!
You guys honed in on THE BEST version of this song. Nice job. So glad to see it get the respect it deserves. Delicate Sound of Thunder is a great album to listen to during long drives on open roads.
I first met you guys in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart on my way to Phish at Coventry. Little did I know then just how awesome you cats are! Thank you for this!
I take such enjoyment from seeing amazing bands like Umphrey's. I love getting a gift like this at a show, an awesome cover. Haven't been in the crowd for awhile, but I'll making up for it soon.
I was never much of a Pink Floyd fan, being more into the Dead and the Stones and that little band from Texas, but this is a truly great cover of an excellent song. When Pink Floyd were on - meaning they gave Gilmour room to be great - they were fantastic. Nice to see such talented musicians taking on this song so seriously.
What a fantastic rendition of a wonderful song. Dark Side of The Moon started it all and the many songs of PF have come back to stun listeners of today. It takes balls to try this tune and they did it GREAT! Thank You guys!
Was fortunate enough to have grown up with The Floyd. Saw them 5 times, 4 in the 70s and in 94 (Pulse). This is a very good take on a PF classic, one of the greatest songs ever written. It's nice to see the younger generation(s) appreciation of great music and play with the passion the song intended.
This is one of those players that is the best of their generation which by no means is as good as the generation from which the music they are playing is from.
I had heard the name Umphrey's McGee but thought they were a country band. So when I saw the title of this video I just had to check it out. Wow, man these guys are really good. Dude has that G&L sounding tight, great tone.
You guys killed it! Hats off to a great cover from one of Rock's greatest bands of all time, The Floyd! A buddy of mine turned me on to Umphrey's McGee just today and I'm thankful to get turned on to new bands & music anytime. You guys are damn good! Thanks for the upload!
+Shea Beltran I definitely will do so. After watching several videos, these guys are all over the place. Covering Phil Collins to the mighty "Floyd"! I need to hear their own material but their covers are second to none. Thanks again!
+THEKID219 Some of my favs: Morning Song, Hajimemashite, Glory, Booth Love, Mantis, Puppet String, Educated Guess. But you really can't go wrong. They jam hard. Enjoy!!!
BRAVO!!! From Russia with LOVE!!!
Слушаю весь в мурашках 😅
Присоединяюсь. Это великолепно!❤❤❤
Достойно. Весьма. Но Гилмор - лучше. Это " другое прочтение классики ", как нынче пишут.
Рашка? Это те, кто бомбит детские больницы? С любовью?
А где Любашка? Да, парняги сильно всё сделали, респект!!!! 🎉
There is an insane amount of talent on that stage. Not many bands come close to playing this tight.
They’re a pretty talented bunch, for sure. Extremely versatile.
When Gilmore e mails Jake. And tells him good job keep it up who am I to say!!!!
Probably the best cover of this song any of us will ever hear!!!
This is so good. I've seen Rodger Waters live but this is a whole band song and without david Gilmour and the rest of the band it wasn't the same but still cool to see

The best live band to shred the land! Umph Love..
This sounds great! I saw Floyd four times starting in 1973. These guys are excellent musicians and do this song justice. Thank you for playing it!
Congratulations
I saw Floyd about 50 or 60 times. My Uncle Floyd that is. Did you ever see Genevieve? That was my my Uncle Floyd's wife.
Best band that tours. Can cover Yes. Or anyone.
It isn't Pink Floyd, but no-one is..except Pink Floyd. It's Umphrey's McGee and they are playing a song, that I can't even imagine to be able to play. It it's awesome.

I come back to this again and again.
One of today's most talented bands paying tribute to one of the most talented bands of yesterday.
Greatness.
Totally agree. UM are so tight in terms of their musicianship. What a treat
120,000%.

they play 2 fuckin notes calm down its not like the rapture is happening
they cant sing either
@@Nicolas_Kim_Coppola yeah, and I'd bet you can't do anything that they can do, yet here you are being a condescending UA-cam critic
@@shawn5780 I mean, I can listen to better music
I've never even heard of these guys but it's heartening for an old Floyd fan from the 70's to hear someone pay homage, especially one of their not so mainstream songs.
I was at this. It was the most amazing experience. Mind blown.
How many fireworks could you see?
Me too!!!! It was an amazing show
Red Rocks Amphitheater Morrison Colorado
😮
Best cover of this song ever.
I was there. I loved every second.
So nice to see real music being passed down to real musicians for a change.
One of the best songs ever created by one of the greatest bands of all time. I'd say they did quite a nice job covering it
They are in my top 6.1) Led Zeppelin2) Rolling Stones3) Bob Seager4) Eagles5) Lynard Skynard6) Pink Floyd
Is beautiful!!!!!!!!!
Gave me goose bumps, such an awesome song
*the best band of all time
@@edwardwhite221 No Jimi Hendrix in that list???
It takes a lot of cheek to cover Pink Floyd. And talent. They have both.
I’ve seen lots of people cover PF, but I’ve only seen a couple do it RIGHT!
You should check out Their Abbey Rd., Studios Beatles cover
Umphreys mcfloyd the best cover of THE best band of all time thank you for that experience
They're not Pink Floyd...they're Umphrey's McGee. They know dam well they are not Pink Floyd, however, it does not stop them from performing a poignant, tight rendition of Shine on you Crazy Diamond...well done! Umphrey's McGee...well done indeed. Carry on you jamolicous, rock star band.

Love it when live bands play just like studio songs, just greatness
Couldn’t ask for anything better rolling down the hill with nice green grass.
One of the most highly skilled bands out there. 10/10 for technical prowess. Hope they tour Canada one year.
Watch other covers….there are bettet
R.I.P. Sid. Your legend will cross many worlds. Thank you for this tribute. Thumbs Up!
that moment when the crowd realizes what the fuck is about to go down..

That’s a lot of energy in this performance. You guys made it your own. Really loved it.
Normally an untouchable band to cover......especially ecially this tune...well done boys.
And this isn’t even one of the better covers either
Just awesome, giving new interpretations through live performance of compositions is what keeps classical music alive and relevant today; the same should apply to 'popular music' as well - this one sure sets a high standard for other performances of Shine on you.

Just now saw this. Jaw. Floor. Had a meeting. Congrats, guys. Love it
First time coming across this. Just the first few notes and already getting goosebumps...
Yeah, I think the guitarist is excited too; hard nips…🤣🤷♀️
И у меня мурашки. Не интересовалась этой группой никогда . но их название всегда знала. Тронула история Сида. Решила послушать песню посвящённую ему
This is greatness. It takes balls to try and do a Pink Floyd song.
Check out Flying Frog Brigade's Floyd set..you'll dig it!
I’m 16 years old and I’m a self taught guitar improviser, and while learning guitar you guys were a huge impact on my solos and sound as a whole
I appreciate this version. Top notch!!!🎉
fantastic cover. excellent sound quality. spectacular video quality and lighting. thanks for sharing this w/ the masses
Wow...soooo goooood! My late buddy Andy loved Umphrey's, now I know why!
As a hard out pink floyd fan I must say,
This is the best cover I have ever heard.
Talk about doing it their own way but still keeping it floyd.
A very well done!
I live not 8 miles from Red Rocks, saw this concert, was fantastic!

My friend Boomer turned me on to these guys! Can't wait to see them!
Holy crap! This is insane! I just discovered this and I am very impressed.
Love the band love the song! Thank you for sharing and God bless everyone
Great to see some young blokes having a crack at a classic. Excellent effort. Floyd would give them a thumbs up I reckon.
How can anyone possibly put a thumbs down? Non musicians for sure!
Right?????!!!
JUST discovered you guys - your cover of SHE'S SO HEAVY was genius - you've got my attention now with this one.
well sir you have missed many good times, but not too late to see many more
oh man you are in for a treat. Best band in the world. Check out any live version of Ocean Billy or Mantis. Both great songs to get the feel and get hooked
Here I thought you guys were just another drum machine. Live and honest is the best way to connect with us outsiders.

If youve ever been to Red Rocks & felt some great music flowing thru you. Well then you'd just keep loving this. Not just liking it. U M . NICE WORK☝
It looks like a magic venue, natural beauty, how far is it from town?
never been a UM fan by any stretch, these guys, just totally earned my respect. Well fucking done.

What a fantastic rendition of a wonderful song. Dark Side of The Moon started it all and the many songs of PF have come back to stun listeners of today. It takes balls to try this tune and they did it GREAT! Thank You guys!
the only thing that kept me from being there was seeing the dead at soldier field in Chicago that weekend. shine on.
Was fortunate enough to have grown up with The Floyd. Saw them 5 times, 4 in the 70s and in 94 (Pulse). This is a very good take on a PF classic, one of the greatest songs ever written. It's nice to see the younger generation(s) appreciation of great music and play with the passion the song intended.
There’s a thin veil between this life and the next... And in this thinist of ethers... Lives music like this...
Oh I agree hair stands on edge goosebumps and then worlds of living and dead locked together in tranquility
Great cover! They manage to keep this out of this world feel of the original.
A very nice spin of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, loved it :)
This is one of those players that is the best of their generation which by no means is as good as the generation from which the music they are playing is from.
This is what Pink Floyd was meant for... chill vibes aaaalll the way :)

such a good atmosphere here, thx for amazing play
Good grief!!! All I gotta say is goosebumps!!!
i swear I wasnt high when I started this song.
