Thank you, Dan!
No problem, love you guys, thanks for everything 💪🏻
Enjoyed the reaction! Great gig in the sky is the portrayal of the five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, which I think Claire torey conveys incredibly!
"I wonder if they believed in UFOs"
How else do you think they got to planet earth in the first place!? 😂
I saw ELP in Tuscaloosa in '75. They did the quad sound too. It's really trippy.
I really cant imagine life without Pink Floyd.
43 years I’ve been listening to and experiencing this work of genius, since the age of 14. I have so little to add to what is commented by the community, but I would say that ‘Time’ will be played as long as human beings exist, as it perfectly captures how fleeting our time here is.
I was 12yo when this came out. It is so familiar to me yet I never tire of listening to it. A musical masterpiece from musical geniuses.
Mind blowing then and still even now.❤
This is the 1st album when Roger took creative control of the band and was their visionary for their immortal 70's period.
Not quite right............There were several parts where Gilmour insisted had to be changed or re-written , and if you check the credits Waters main contribution was the Lyrics and some sound effects.....not taking anything away from waters it really was the whole band contributing on this Album, had they not then the album would have been different, the interview about this album is on youtube...but they do not say what changes Gilmour insisted on....go take a look....
Great Gig in The Sky is one of the best pieces of music ever recorded
Agree 1000%. It's my favorite song of all time. To me, it's perfect.
It's not a triangle, it's a prism. When light travels throught it, it comes out as the refracted colors of the rainbow.
Kind of like your brain when you listen to Darkside
Greatest album of all time in my opinion. Just a work of art, beauty, precision, mastery. It's perfect.
youll never see records like this produced ever again...especially with whats called music now. A stunning masterpiece of creativity and emotion, all tied together with outstanding musicians....
One of the greatest albums of all time by one of the greatest bands of all time. Conceptually or otherwise. ❤
Yup. Absolutely.
Love those David Gilmour solos!
The best album of all time ❤❤❤
At 11:30 - not double-tracked. Gilmour and Wright are singing in unison.
I saw Floyd perform this in Earls Court - jaw dropping evening
Their name comes from two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
The artwork was by Hipgnosis's Storm Thorgeson, the band had briefed them that they wanted something bold and simple.
They were from North and South Carolina as if that seems to be a secret .They should have known that fact
Amazing , yet simple!! Love it!!! ( replying about the cover)
As someone who's been listening to PF pretty much since they started, you REALLY need to pay attention to the lyrics. PF never did anything without a reason and lyrics were very important. They were so far ahead of their time the music and the lyrics are still very relevant! PF is a great rabbit hole to go down. No better band, IMO. Wish you were here, Meddle, The Wall, Division Bell, all great!
Absolutely correct, I'm an original as well!
I'll take Piper, Saucerful, Atom Heart and Obscured By Clouds over Divison Bell. And The Wall got played out for me, while also sounding like too many 'classic rock' band songs.
Clare Torry gets a lot of praise (rightfully so) for her contribution to this album but I think that Dick Parry deserves more than an honourable mention for the sax' work and Alan Parsons for having tied it all together so beautifully. (He was more akin to the tea boy on the Abbey Road album but obviously he learned enough to flourish in his own right)
It's a shame Clare had to sue Pink Floyd to get the songwriting credit and money she was owed. They totally tried to screw her over.
This is storytelling at its finest. The best album of all time.
Very nice. I can’t believe after 50 years this is still my favorite album.
DAVID GILMOUR IS THE TIMELORD OF THE LEAD GUITAR 🎸 PINK FLOYD WILL TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD 🌎 AND ACROSS
THE milky way 🌌. 55 years i have been a fan and always will be.
I am thankfull for people like y'all..That take the time to listen..👍❤🎼🎶🎸🥁🎻🎺👍❤
I'm now in my mid sixties and "Time" has never felt more poignant than it does to me now.
Interesting. I'm mid-60s, too. I remember a time before "Hi-Fi".
There are certainly aspects of *Time* that have come true with age - each year does seem shorter and I am shorter of breath. lol But while I sometimes miss possible experiences I might have had in the past, I have no real regrets. If I hadn't been where I was, I wouldn't be where I am, now ... and I like it here!->
I do not miss vinyl at all, pop pop, click click, reminders that it is a recording.............
My first concert , I was 14 !!!! Could you imagine that.....?
now its time to do "YES"
Great reaction. This is has been my favorite Floyd album. I remember listening to this a tripping balls. Mind blowing.
I know I signed on for a reaction. But literally the entire time I was like, Please shut up you're harshing my buzz dude. I didn't realize I guess I just don't want to hear people talk over Dark Side...
They got this it name from Pink Anderson and The Floyd Counsel. Both blues musicians.
I'm in my 83rd year, and have been a PF fan what seems like forever, I think that TIME is like a toilet roll, the nearer you get to the end the faster it goes. Had a bit of crappy news, I've just been diagnosed with aggressive Lung cancer, so to everyone out there, make sure you live life to the fullest, one thing for sure is that I've lived through the greatest music ever made...👋💕🎶🎵🎶
It’s a plane crashing. You can see the plane crashing in Pink Floyd’s concerts.
Some of this sounds familiar, but this is the first time I've heard the LP all the way through. (and I'm 74!) Thank you for introducing me to a wonderful album that I should have been listening to a half century ago. Well, like they say, better late than never .....
Not quite as old (mid-60's) but my reaction to your comment is ... 😲Not that there's anything wrong with it but were/are you hard-core country or classical, maybe?
its very possible this may be the best album ever recorded in my lifetime.
In, The Great Gig in the Sky, I think the anguish she expressed is left ambiguous if it's her own mortality or death she's coping with, or if it's the loss of a loved one. It definitely brings light to the universality of grief.
Part of the brilliance of "On the Run" is that it actually has a lot going on beyond the sequencer repetition. Good musicians know how to balance repetition with new sounds coming in and out in order to create something that can hold the interest of someone willing to attend to the music. This whole album makes demands on listeners, and I'm glad you're willing to hear it through.
Also, the videos behind most of this album are missing, it was brilliant in concert.
Good to see here per the [Pink Anderson / Floyd Council ] name.
When I was a teenager, we always played Dark Side in record stores to test the headphones. Only if they passed this test could they be bought. No other LP could tell you how good they are.
Storm Thorgerson is the person that come up with the album cover, he and his design group Hipgnosis, which he co-founded alongside Aubrey Powell. They also designed the self -titled Bad Company album and several more for the band. They also designed for Wings- Band on the run, Led Zeppelin-In through the outdoor, Peter Gabriel -Peter Gabriel lll and several more bands.
Actually, you are incorrect about the vocals on GGITS. After inviting jazz singer Claire Tory to have a go at it, they explained to her that it was a song about death and dying. She went back in to the booth and improvised the entire thing. What you just listened to was her second and final take...no splicing, overdubbing or editing whatsoever. One of the greatest vocal performances in all of popular music, and all without a single lyric!
That's not actually correct and you do not even spell her name correctly.
@@jimangela4589 Somewhat accurate. Here's Claire Torry's interview where she recounts the experience - ua-cam.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/v-deo.html
@@donrichards271 I'm familiar with it. But it is not the whole story. She did an initial warmup of her voice that is the latter part of the recording.
@@jimangela4589 Which is why I used the word "somewhat"
The explosion on "On the Run" is what drove the fears of children and teenagers in that time. Nuclear Holocaust!! It wasn't a plane crash. It's also the reason for the mocking laughter, "Oh, you think you'll live for another year? Hshahaha!!!"
It is an aircraft crash and subsequent fuel tank explosion
At 74 I am on y fourth t shirt of that cover and I weather them until they rot. Saw them on tour a few one at Kent State The 12000 seat arena had all of us in the stands and the floor was covered in lighting equpment
If you have good woofers and a powerful amp, you can make the opening heartbeat shake your whole house.
This is quite arguably the greatest recording of the 20th century. Masterpiece doesn't even come close to describing it.
Love your backdrop and your shirt.
This is a “ Concept Album” where the concept is clearly “ let’s make this the perfect album for headphones after some Red Leb or Acapulco Gold guys”!
Conceptual expressions n thoughts about the fears n dark sides of touring.
Pink Floyd music is not for busy people and the lyrics are a very important part of it all !
I 1st heard this album in 1985 as a Sr in high school. Time I had heard on the radio but never really listened to it closely. When I played the cd alone at home it hit me. I did not want to miss the starting gun. It was and is the most influential song in my 55 years on this Earth. It has helped me live my life to experience it fully. From fighting not to miss my son grow up to enjoying the things I love.
Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most meaningful, iconic recordings of the 1970s. Probably the best guitar work ever.
I first heard this, in its entirety, in about 1983, and I became an instant fan. Fortunate they were still producing music and were all still alive. I was basically born as Gilmour joined the band and their music was always in the background of life.
wow the memories
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this or any Pink Floyd record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul !!!
This album was the first album I ever bought at 8 years old in 1975. I've been hooked on Pink Floyd my whole musical life.
The name is a combination of two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, who were in Syd Barrett's record collection. The had been the Tea Set until it was discovered the name was taken. Syd was a genius but deeply disturbed. He died of cancer in 2006 having lived as a recluse for many years.
That was definitely a airplane crash. BTW the name is derived from the given names of two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
it was 50 years in march since this album was released, i bought this album as a 14 year old, it spent over 15 years in the billboard top 200.
and you can use the album cover to separate your stems and seeds from your smoke back in the day....so I have heard...it was a special time
Notice the songs follow on from each other from birth to death and the gig in the sky follows time is the fear and turmoil and then acceptance of death
I’m 21, I bought my first record player and speakers for myself for Christmas. Up to 38 vinyls so far 🤧
You NEED to listen to “ comfortably numb” live at Pulse! BEST PERFORMANCE EVER!!!! (IMO)
Finally!!! someone who gets it
Very nice to listen to this with you. First heard the album when it came out, 1973 I believe. Astonished me then and still does.
Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest rock album ever recorded. Love hearing other artists cover this album. Check out the Reggae version of this album called “Dub Side of the Moon.” Great version.
Don't know if you saw them, but we heard some interesting covers of _Money_ and _Breathe_ in our other vids.
Beautiful listen to the LP without interruptions. The only way to understand music. Love you! And I didn't know Scarlett Johansson had a sister... The best reaction about DSOTM I've ever seen. 😍
The Great Gig in the Sky can be taken so many different ways. To me it's dealing with losing a loved one. First you cry out, scream out, not able to accept it. Later you calm down, though not accepting it, not fully. And finally, you accept or learn to live with it.
Such a great album!!! 😾
Originally"The Tea Set" the name The Pink Floyd comes from 2 of Syd's favorite blues men, Floyd Council and Pink Anderson. They then dropped "the" and became Pink Floyd.
Yes Alan Parsons would be another choice of albums to listen to, possibly "Tales of Mystery & Imagination".
I read on a trivia page that in the 80’s and 90’s when this album was in the top two hundred selling albums for 736 weeks. This created enough demand for albums that there was a cd manufacturing facility in Germany that only put out this album.
Even after 50 years it's still an audio Bible for modern life (and will be until the machines take over..... In a couple of years! 🤣)
' don't we need weed ' 🤣🤣 you feel mind altered after listening to it 🤣 love then vibe between you two ❤️
These are not my words but its what i believe it to be about. I know its long but its interesting.
Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album that discusses the philosophical and physical ideas that can lead to a person's insanity, and ultimately, an unfulfilled life.
The album is a cautionary tale in two parts; the first half describes living a life that goes unfulfilled.
The second half of the album consists of individual songs about different ideas and concepts that are detrimental to society and can lead to madness.
The philosophical ideas in the second half of the album are a sort of madness in their own right. They are also the root causes to the problem mentioned in the first half of the album that focuses on living an unfulfilled life.
The Dark side of the Moon is a metaphor for darkness-the darkness (or different ideas) that can destroy all of the positive emotions and ideas that are a part of humanity. In effect, the darkness represents insanity. But like in reality, the light portrayed by the moon is really an illusion. So it would appear that the album, which seems to take the dark side of the moon concept to heart, is suggesting is that everyone on some level is insane or will have to deal with madness.
Dark Side of the Moon seems to specifically suggest that there are two types of insanity. The first type of insanity mentioned on the album suggests people go insane by riding the tide. Or specifically speaking, people are insane for doing what they're told all of the time and just accepting life for what it is.
The second type of insanity mentioned on the album suggests that the people that don't ride the tide realize that the people riding the tide are insane. In turn, their efforts to try to convince people not to ride the tide or their resistance to the tide itself causes them to go insane.
Dark Side of the Moon is ultimately a united group of thematic ideas that act as a cautionary tale. There are a lot of bleak lyrics, and the concept itself is fairly bleak. The bleak concepts on the album are referred to as the dark side of the moon. The hopeful ideas and concepts related to humanity are represented by the sun, which only appears at the end of the album.
In effect, the album is a cautionary tale because all of the songs describe or bring awareness to the dark side of the moon or the various ideas that lead to an unfulfilled life and ultimately insanity. The ending of the album though reminds listeners of the sun for the first time or gives listeners a glimpse of hope with all of the positive ideas associated with being human
With the moon eclipsing the sun at the end of the album, the album seems to suggest that the madness will pass like the eclipse that is blocking the sun will eventually come to pass.
Actually two of the band members were pilots, David Gilmour and Nick Mason.
Correction. Permanent Waves in 1980 was Rushes first album that was not concept type record. Then in 1981 Moving Pictures came out.
This album still sells and periodically resurfaces in the charts, it is almost the best selling album ever and will probably claim that at some point. That is the way it's when generation after generation of new fans keep getting made, all the needed to be is exposed to their music and voila, a new fan is made. They are just one of those most musical improvisational and futuristic bands and will always be played, like Mozart, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
subbed cus of her muscles ...lol...great reaction
Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. were from North and South Carolina ..
The opening of the album with the heart beat and the screaming... is birth. The next song is Breathe, which summarises life.
groovy
Fun fact I'm doing the same thing I always did listening to pink Floyd 😂 and no it's not acid 🙃I stopped that 40yrs ago 😊 thank God weed is legal in my state
❤
_"Don't we need weed?"_
It is often said that one does not need marijuana to appreciate Pink Floyd.
However, it is also said that one often needs Pink Floyd to _really_ appreciate marijuana.
You both need to listen to Pink Floyd Pompeii number one and number two it will blow your mind you takes me right back to the early 70s I mean really early 70s❤❤❤❤😊😊
Formed in 1965, previous names include 'Sigma 6', 'The T-Set', 'The Megadeaths', 'The (Architectural or Screaming)Abdabs', 'The Pink Floyd Blues Band', 'The Pink Floyd'. Named by Syd Barrett who combined the first names of two blues man, Pink Anderson, and Floyd Council.
Great to see u reacting to a phenomenal album. I’m going to admit the first time hearing it I dropped LSD. I listened to this album so much I still know the lyrics and went through 3 albums. Thank guys
Watched Pink Floyd live at Pompeii (On video) in the early 90's on LSD, great night. :)
The original pyramid poster was greener, and my poster with the boxes and letters was portrait, not letterbox. The album itself is a fold out, with liner notes on the inside jacket instead of the sleeve. I had those stickers in small frames for years. I had the original Dark Side painter's cap, too, wore it for years as my main hat.
Good on you for doing the album right. In prog rock, experimental rock, and rock operas, the album was the art form. Tracks, especially radio tracks, were part of the business, but the concept album was still king in those genres. Pink Floyd's rock opera, The Wall (1979), is infinitely fun to compare and contrast with The Who's, Tommy (1969), and Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's, Jesus Christ Superstar (1970), from a decade earlier. They all tell similar mythic cycles of the prophet/martyr, but each from drastically different perspectives.
Heya Dev and Mike, easily one of my favourite albums of all time. It’s just epic. Not a bad song on it. So deep.
Great reaction and looking forward to more Floyd reactions
Would love to get Dev into some more Pink Floyd
@@MusicforBusyPeople ah but which way do you go? Early Pink Floyd with the long musical pieces or the later stuff with Waters’ satirical lyrics, the edginess of “Animals” and the brutal look at the world on “The Final Cut”
The solo in "Time" ranks up there with "Since I've Been Loving You". In concert, Run Like Hell looked like this ua-cam.com/video/HriYRoxWo1I/v-deo.html
Great Gig in the Sky
Death????
An event that all of humanity is destined to experience at one point or another, in one way or another be it our own death or the death of a loved one. Depending on each individual's level of compassion and acceptance determines how people deal with it.
Persistent, traumatic grief can cause us to cycle (sometimes quickly) through the stages of grief:
denial,
anger,
bargaining,
depression,
acceptance.
These 5 stages are our attempts to process change brought along by the loss of a loved one or the acceptance of ones own mortality and to protect ourselves while we adapt to our new reality.
Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky is about such a journey. The opening lyrics start with denial and end with acceptance.
The Dark Side of the Moon was definitely not the end of the long songs and solos. The next two albums, *Wish You Were Here* and *Animals*, also have long songs and solos. It wasn't until *The Wall* that the longer songs and solos decreased.
Reaction starts at 08:37...
I shoplifted the stickers, because they didn't come with the cassette version.
You really should've started with " Meddle " that is when Pink Floyd became what we all know.
In Breathe, that’s actually a pedal steel guitar like you’d here in country music.
The electronic madness of 'On the run' depicts the ratrace of life, symbolised by 'running' from your bed of birth (literally shown in the live show projections) , through first a hospital, then an airport, taking off and then crashing down.
This album is covered on the second disc of the Pulse concert (1994) but it’s live and includes visuals so the added dimension is enjoyable. A Great Concert!
The more I listen to this album the more Claire Torrey's vocal on The Great Gig in the Sky impresses me. She sued them for writing credits since she made up the melody on the spot. There was a piano backing already written when she came into to the studio but the vocal melody was hers alone. Also I would listen to the whole album at once in the dark from beginning to end. I think Roger Waters wrote a latter song called Fear of Flying.
And the lady who asks “Who said he wasn’t frightened of dying?” towards the end of Great Gig in the Sky, that voice belongs to Linda McCartney, wife of Beatles bassist Paul. I think Wings were recording at Abbey Road at the same time as Dark Side was being recorded.
Very interesting 🙂
Its not Linda McCartney its Patricia Watts wife of Peter Watts
I don't think was any sequencer yet at that time,that sound at 12.50 is very probably just the Moog or something at that time called 'Envelops generators'
She's right. Let her speak. Be nice. (for a little while)
I think the 'On the Run' crash is the internal mental crash of the guy laughing maniacally under the stress of endless travel.
23:54 it is about dying. And the emotional phases leading up to it. Fear, Anger (or the other wayaround) , Resignation and Acceptance.
Regarding the songs: "They weren't performed that way."
Indeed they were.
The great gig song is about the 5 phases of death.
The childish comments never end.
Great reaction, y'all. The sound is fantastic.
I like the editing. May I suggest that you use closed captions even when your voices are audible. Can't always understand what you say.
I hear a crash, for what it's worth. Love the channel. You two love music. We enjoy your reactions to great music. Keep on r'actin .
