Hi! You need to listen to Pink Floyd Another brick in the wall... the whole album and video is fantastic. Mind blowing. Queen Live aid is the greatest rock band of all time, Freddy Mercury voice is so powerful. Joe Cocker is also one of my favorites you choose any song. Thank KTF I love watching you.✌️
You can't imagine how interesting it is for me, a Pink Floyd fan for 45 years, to see people who aren't familiar with their shit, to get it. Wonderful stuff....
Just so you know, Pink Floyds Dark side of the moon album was on the billboard charts for just over 18 years! The longest of any other album by 3 times!
Right on David. Actually was “on the charts” for over 1630 weeks, approximately 31 years. It was on Billboards Top 200 chart for 943 weeks, or 18 years. I think that says something, right?
I am 62 years old. I have been a Pink Floyd fan since I was 15 years old. I have every one of their albums on vinyl and CD. When I want to relax, I put a Pink Floyd album on and drink a bourbon or three.
I always saw comments of ppl saying David gilmours guitar playing could bring tears to their eyes and always thought to myself “really dude” then I watched that pulse concert and they played comfortably numb. I was involuntarily crying listening to the ending solo. Kept saying to myself “dude wtf, what’s happening”
just imagine that in 1973 NOTHING similar existed, not musically nor technically. they paved the ground. you gotta listen to shine on you crazy diamond
there actually was. This was the most mainstream but there was a lot of stuff out there that was absolutely amazing. King Crimson was one of the big ones.
Gerald Herrmann the first time I listened to this was a few moths a go. I had no idea this was made then. I legit thought it was a song that just cam out
The backing vocals are from "Clare Torry". She is the featured vocalist in the following song "The Great Gig in the Sky". Many Pink Floyd songs are not meant to be listened to as individual songs. Time and the great gig in the sky are meant to be played as one song. In fact, Dark side of the moon is meant to be played in it's entirety.
Agreed. Listening to any individual track from 'The Wall' will be even more challenging because the audio might just cut off at the end; many of the songs across all of Pink Floyd's catalog, in fact, are supposed to roll into the next song uninterrupted.
I get so jealous of you getting to discover Floyd ‘s songs for the first time. It was 40 years ago that I had that experience. I watch a bunch of reaction videos but you are the goat.
JOHNNY FORTENBERRY same here, back in 1975, my brother had the album. Been a fan every since. I can honestly say I have listen to Floyd everyday since that first time back in 75.
Hey man, in this youtube world full of fake and contrived "reaction" videos, you stand out as truly being real... Your a good dude, man... keep 'em coming... Peace
If you love that singer bro, you got to do “The Great Gig in the Sky“. She absolutely destroys it in that track, and it immediately follows “Time“ on the LP. Edit: The background singer is Clare Torry.
YES! "Time" flows into "the Great Gig in the Sky" on the album, and it has some amazing vocals from that singer in "time", Clare Torry. The dark side of the moon would be a great album reaction!
@@robpoles2 of course. But if this is a financial inlet, sometimes you need to make concessions. What's best for the channel vs. What's best for the reactor. I'd rather everyone experience uncut.
In high school, years and years ago, the line 'The sun is the same in a relative way, but your older.' was my favorite line of any song, and on reflection, it still is.
Seems she gets as little recognition for her beautiful voice as does Ms. Merry Clayton did for her back-up work on for the Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter."
@@JayKus373 That's only about $120USD. Not much but a good day's haul. Another source said she received 30GBP for the day's work ($24USD). Overall though she took the melody Richard Wright had written and made it her song. They certainly owed her more. Just come in, sing, here's your money goodbye. Only that album blew up big time. I have a feeling if that had not been the case we would never have heard of Ms. Torry. She contributed much more than she was paid for. Agreed.
Agree that The Great Gig in the Sky should be your next song if you felt the background vocals here. It comes directly after this song and it’s less a “song” and more a musical interlude but its fantastic(it’s actually my favorite song of anything anywhere by anyone ). However, I’m surprised at the lack of people requesting the song Money. It’s one of Floyd’s more popular and more upbeat songs and it’s very dynamic. I think it’d be a song you’d really enjoy
@@nelson1111 those people that rank guitarist they don't look for a true guitarist, they are judging on speed of the hands, David Gilmour has slow hands, he can't play with speed and flash, he will tell you himself that he gets his sound from how he bends his notes, he is proof you don't have to have fast hands to play guitar, if someone truly judged on sound and how they sounded live and how clearly the notes are placed, he would be number one to stay for life.
That man is one of a very few I am happy to say blew out my eardrums. From a young age to the old man I am now my hearing has been going. Lot's of things cause it but I gotta admit my enjoyable complicitness.
PF is like a familiar trip. You know where you are going because you've been there so many times. But you enjoy every moment, every time. Most of us old folks have been listening to this for 40+ years for a reason.
There were four female backup singers on this song, Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Lisa Strike, & Barry St. John. Wasn't able to find who the main backup vocalist was. My guess it was Doris Troy, who's main style is R&B, & the only American backup singer. I could be wrong. Either way, thx for reacting to this song, react to The Great Gig In The Sky or High Hopes, although you should really listen to the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album now beginning to end. It's worth it.
@@trdacy Yep, that's what I found too. But Doris Troy was the main R&B vocalist on "Time". If you listen to Doris Troy's big hit "Just One Look", you'll recognize her voice. "Just One Look" is a very classic R&B song.
+Chris Liverpool England Clare was a session vocalist and was not a member of the band. She only worked with them a handful of times and very rarely joined them live.
Clare H. Torry (born 29 November 1947) is a Britishsinger, best known for performing the wordless vocals on the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" by the group Pink Floyd on their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon.
This song kicks ass except when you're falling asleep with your Pink Floyd playlist in the background and then all those clocks kick off at once and put you back to square one.
I'll be 61 in a few hours, and Pink Floyd was on my stereo at 17. I am SO happy that you are experiencing the joy I also feel whenever I listen to them. I hope you pass it on to all your friends. Oh, and you are definitely right: We were "spoiled" with some of the best music ever. (From your Pink Floyd "Dogs"reaction) I hope Pink Floyd continues to be enjoyed long after I'm gone.
Preston! I think you should listen to comfortably numb from their pulse concert. You would absolutely love the solo at the end. So emotional and so genius. David Gilmore is a god.
Clare Torry is the only background singer I know by name on the album (without research), and you GOTTA hear her vocal performance over Rick Wright's keyboards on The Great Gig In The Sky to truly marvel at her. That track was built out of a warm up while recording this whole album too.
The singer is Claire Torry who also sings Great Gig In the Sky. She improvised Great Gig in 2 and 1/2 takes. The company only paid her £30 session fee. Years later the group bumped into Claire in a cafe. When they heard what she got paid they gave her a large cheque but years later she got co-writing credit and sued the company and won an undisclosed sum. She wasn't angry or blamed Pink Floyd as she often sung with them after.
The female voice in the background is British session singer Clare Torry. She sang backup on the whole album. She really shines in Great Gig in the Sky.
Once you establish a personal relationship with this album, it will get you through many, many bad days. DSotM is an old friend that is always home when you need him.
You have to get high and listen to the whole album at once . It's one of the best records ever made, that takes you on a awesome journey. Each song is building up to the next and so on. The whole album is like one long song. Fuckin amazing! 😘
you are correct if the version he is watching is from Dark side of the moon (looking at the album cover it seems so but usually i found that on the web they tend to use the versions from the tour albums either delicate or pulse) here but if it is the version from delicate sound of thunder is either the only white lady of the 3 vocalist that i think was Margret Taylor and in pulse i think was Claudia fontaine
@@lucabazzanella7780 The tall black singer is Durga McBroom. You'll recognize her as one of the dancers in "Flashdance". Claudie Fontaine is her sister. Other touring singers have been Margaret Taylor, Rachel Fury, Claire Torre & Vicki Brown ( these 2 at Knebworth) and Sam Brown. Claire is the one who sang "Great Gig in the Sky" and finally got recognition and royalties for her vocal arrangement and performance.
Dont know who yo are King KTF, just happened across your channel, but your really seem to understand music at a deep level. your reaction to the background singers brought me to tears, music does that, it gets to places where you thought your life was dried up, just to discover the vast world that is still undiscovered, inspired music. God Bless.
The backup singer is Clare Tony There have been others since but she is the original. Her vocals in The Great Gig In The Sky are simply astonishing. Makes the hair on your arms stand up. Goosebumps !
@@jeslookn5470 Correct - she was there for one day only, to record GGITS. She never heard anything more about it until she saw the album in a record shop, and saw her name on the credits.
This is one of those albums that everyone remembers exactly where they were, or what they were doing, when they heard it for the very first time. I sure as hell do!!
Not sure who that singer in the background was. They had a number of great background vocalists on the album. Great Gig in The Sky really features one of them. Take a listen, you won't regret it.
Pay attention son. When you're listening to Pink Floyd you are receiving messages from GOD. Nothing less than masterful musicianship, with prophetic lyrics and angelic chorus. I'm glad you feel it man. Your soul is intact.
Preston I imagine you feel like I do, every time David Gilmore picks up his guitar I expect it to start talking, I am 72 and I have felt this way since the beginning of Floyd! I feel very fortunate to have grown up in an era with so many great bands, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues my favorite of all time, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, ELO, The Eagles and many more and the best part is I have seen them all live!
I made it a priority for my 2 kids to hear all of pink floyd when they were young. Like classic literature, it should be required listening. Bravo to you sir for appreciating some of the best music to ever be created.
Pink Floyd didn't make songs, they made albums. There is always a continuous theme to all the songs in the given album, like a story unraveling along the way. You can try "Dogs" by them, from their "Animals" album (very underrated and my favorite btw)
Sam Khan for their Concept albums, yes. Only Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut are Concept albums, Division Bell had a common theme, but wasnt a concept album. Remember, Dark Side is their 9th studio album.
I only discovered "reaction" videos a few months ago. I have watched MANY reaction channels...covering a lot of music styles. I am a Pink Floyd fan from decades ago, but I also love most of the REAL music from the 60's onwards. KING KTF..YOU are the ONLY genuine "reactor"! So many channels have no idea what they are actually hearing- they have no soul for the music, they just pretend. You are now the only reaction channel I will ever watch. Naturally, it's the Pink Floyd...mostly. *winks* Thanks, and kudos to you kid!
Fact. The older you get the more this song grips you and draws you in. It was always my favourite Floyd song even as young as 10 Yrs old. But it's only got better over the last 20 years ☺️
Imagine a concert stage totally dark,with the sound of a clock tick,then and alarm going off. Suddenly a small but bright spot light is on the drummer,his back is to you and he starts playing small bongo like drums . All you can see is him playing this intro. Then suddenly at the end of his solo ,he spins around and the stage explodes with lights the whole band starts playing that great song. That was 46 years ago, every time l hear that song that memory floods my thoughts.
That is the true genius of Pink Floyd - perfect timing, pitch, synchronization, stunning voiceovers, soaring to the heights, uplifting your soul while simultaneously bringing you to tears, it is indeed an emotional roller coaster, absolutely positively outstanding.
I'm 50 and a mexican and I heard Pink Floyd for the first time when I was 8 first song ...another brick in the wall since then...my favorite band ......
I remember running and skipping back home with my pink floyd record (vinyl) ..... desperate to hear it and wow it was out of this world!! Still resonates and never fails to delight after all these years .... as a Grandma of 4!!
The Gods of Music are pleased with KTF. THEY'RE PLEASED WITH KTF!!! Preston, You are my favourite channel right now. I've even discovered songs because of your videos. Keep doing you, you have no idea how much you are in my circle of friends AND how many Rock fans love you. Much respect, Keep on...
Time is a lyrical masterpiece. Considered one of the greatest lyrical performances of all time. How do you write a song about a subject as all encompassing as time without it coming off as cheesy and cliche or convoluted and overly wordy? Yet Roger Waters (the lyricist and one of Pink Floyd's two vocalists) did exactly that.
It really is, its something that almost everyone can relate to but doesnt beat you over the head with it Also I love your username i used to play MTG and loved the Invasion cycle novels
The Darkside Album was a masterpiece. It's still on the Billboard Top 100 List to this day. I was 4 the first time I heard this album. its still on my rotation. its like comfort food for the soul. An essential and mandatory part of any music lover's collection.
Yawg a lyrical masterpiece indeed and what puts this over the top is that it also has a great guitar solo with great drumming sounds in the opening, and soulful vocals throughout . That song encompassed "everything".
The female vocalist is Clare H. Torry,she is now 71 years old. She played a part in the bands the Alan Parsons project and the bleeding heart band. And also the great gig in the sky.
Dude... althoughi love your being introduced to these songs.... they are merely a "snapshot", you're missing the "movie"... gotta hear THAT album cover to cover.
There's a lot of truth to this. A lot of these 70s rock albums were just that: albums. They weren't a collection of singles, they were a whole, about 46 minutes long.
Dude you are making me appreciate Floyd all over again. Their music comes back into my life in different seasons and I can appreciate it in all new ways. Such an absolutely killer band, absolutely legendary, almost every song is just dope. I can't explain it. I can finally start to see what people were getting at who proudly wore pink Floyd shirts and gear before I even knew who they were or anything...I can finally see a little bit of what those people were trying to represent and carry with them to spread to others.
Yep. legalize ganja and play this all the time....we'd all realize how stupid anger and rage are and how f'd up it is to spend your few trips around the sun doing dumb shit.
Preston, check out the Pink Floyd movie “The Wall”. You’ll love it. It’d be too much to do a whole video but something like highlights or a review after from you would be awesome! Keep it up man, I love checking these out!
And for that matter, listen to the “Dark Side of the Moon”album straight through. Takes about 45 minutes and you’ve heard a few already, but Floyd is meant to be listened to an entire album at a time...it all flows together seamlessly.
@@schrims55 it's truly an experience. I dont think Preston smokes weed, but ideal conditions for Floyd is a blacklit room, big headphones, a joint, and a comfy place to lay.
Dark Side of the Moon came out my freshman year in college. Every dorm room that had a stereo was blasting this song. Those heavy bass notes at the beginning made everyone go "wow".
The very first concert I ever went to was April 1973 Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. 14 years old. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Tour. It changed my life!
I think Pink Floyd needs their own God's brother LOL bloody awesome
Brandon Peters How can Pink Floyd have Gods? They are Gods! ✌️
God needs a pink floyd
Hi!
You need to listen to Pink Floyd Another brick in the wall... the whole album and video is fantastic. Mind blowing.
Queen Live aid is the greatest rock band of all time, Freddy Mercury voice is so powerful.
Joe Cocker is also one of my favorites you choose any song.
Thank KTF I love watching you.✌️
Here’s the link ua-cam.com/video/HrxX9TBj2zY/v-deo.html
Bro every song you react to gets better!! Keep up the good channel mate!
When you get jealous to see someone listening to a PF song for the first time; lol.
U got that right
Ikr!
it's great to experience it, watching a younger cat get so far into it. PF is simply the best.
ikr
Ikr. Wish I could listen to them for the first time again.
You can't imagine how interesting it is for me, a Pink Floyd fan for 45 years, to see people who aren't familiar with their shit, to get it. Wonderful stuff....
Same/Same. I fully agree.
Im 21 for my part.. and i just listen to them practically everyday
46 yrs for me this april..saw em live 3-8-73 bfor I knew who they were!
Just fantastic man...
I m 17
Just so you know, Pink Floyds Dark side of the moon album was on the billboard charts for just over 18 years! The longest of any other album by 3 times!

Thank you
Right on David. Actually was “on the charts” for over 1630 weeks, approximately 31 years. It was on Billboards Top 200 chart for 943 weeks, or 18 years. I think that says something, right?
Because it’s awesome!
Fucking. Impressive.
“10 years have gone behind you, no one told you when to run... you missed the starting gun” such a beautiful yet depressing lyric🖤
"So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again."
I have so been there.
So true. The older you get, the more it hits you.
Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
“ Shorter of breath and one day closer to death !! 🥺 I quote that line when I am having a bad day .
It's the "English way" 🙂👍
I am 62 years old. I have been a Pink Floyd fan since I was 15 years old. I have every one of their albums on vinyl and CD. When I want to relax, I put a Pink Floyd album on and drink a bourbon or three.
and did you listen the starting gun...?
The or three cracked me up so hard
Same age, heard the Floyd for the first time when Atom Heart Mother came out. Life was never the same again 👍
Somehow I just saw my future 😁
Did we just become best friends?
The very next track, man. "The Great Gig In The Sky". It's that vocalist that was grabbing you, and what she does... it'll blow your mind.
Yes! Great gig in the sky! This whole album is amazing tho
Omg what this guy said
hallelujah !
Yes. She will DESTROY you in Great Gig.
Not the same vocalist. This is Doris Troy, not Clare Torry.
Pink floyd can actually bring tears to my eyes. Its beautiful music. Music for the soul.
every time
Listening to this song peaking on acid made me cry, for rather obvious reasons.
A lot of their music is written from their lives and people can relate
I always saw comments of ppl saying David gilmours guitar playing could bring tears to their eyes and always thought to myself “really dude” then I watched that pulse concert and they played comfortably numb. I was involuntarily crying listening to the ending solo. Kept saying to myself “dude wtf, what’s happening”
It's not Rock. It's not Jazz. It's not Blues. It doesn't have a name . Pink Floyd can't be put into a box.
Pink Floyd is PINK FLOYD!
Space rock!!
No!!! It´s Rock! it´s Rock Only Progresive Rock´n Roll. No confuse it!
...it's called acid rock brother...that's what we referred to it as in Canada back in the 70's
Progressive rock. End of story
I see what you did there.
But it's prog rock.
They literally invented prog rock.
just imagine that in 1973 NOTHING similar existed, not musically nor technically. they paved the ground. you gotta listen to shine on you crazy diamond
yeah this had to have been a barn-burner back then. Totally on another level.
there actually was. This was the most mainstream but there was a lot of stuff out there that was absolutely amazing. King Crimson was one of the big ones.
@@jasonmckinney2484 yes, you´re right. i shouldn´t have written 1973. in 1965, floyd was 3-4 years earlier there than crimson.

clare did gig, but time vocals were doris troy, Lesley Duncan, liza strike and Barry St John... as per the documentary on the making of the album
My man threw his hands up when the guitar solo dropped.
Makes me smile!!!
My greatest past time is watching the faces expression on people experiencing Pink Floyd tracks for the first time

This is ENTIRELY TRUE.
Yup - it's Doris Troy
Yup
When you hear THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY your brain is going to melt our your ear
This song means more to me now in my 60s than it did when I first heard it in my 20s. The years go so quickly these days
I am 30, but walking on ur path.
Again Pink Floyd was named after two R&B players Pink Anderson & Floyd Council!
I wasnt aware. Now i know which one is Pink

Claire sang Great Gig in the Sky- not Time. See mikimike's list below is correct as verified on the video of making DSoM

He already did Comfortably Numb.
Julia Van Blarcom but live version is better

But it's unlikely that he'll react to the same song twice. Unfortunately.

If he listens to great gig in the sky he's going to drop at least two "HOLD ON BRUHH'S". I'll take a bet on that haha
Find a live version if you can. They are pleasant to look at too.
The guitar solo in this song always gives me goosebumps! So damn good
"I feel real calm right now!"
Wait 15 seconds.
Santana - BLACK MAGIC WOMAN!
Clare Torry is the only background singer I know by name on the album (without research), and you GOTTA hear her vocal performance over Rick Wright's keyboards on The Great Gig In The Sky to truly marvel at her. That track was built out of a warm up while recording this whole album too.
Clair Tory did "the Great Gig in the Sky ONLY" The background singers for Time were Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan & Liza Strike.
The singer is Claire Torry who also sings Great Gig In the Sky. She improvised Great Gig in 2 and 1/2 takes. The company only paid her £30 session fee. Years later the group bumped into Claire in a cafe. When they heard what she got paid they gave her a large cheque but years later she got co-writing credit and sued the company and won an undisclosed sum. She wasn't angry or blamed Pink Floyd as she often sung with them after.
David Gilmour can get more out of a single note than any other guitar player I've ever heard.
Chad Jones 🙌🏻👏🏻
David Gilmour played guitar for Pink Floyd
truth.
but he's playing it twice and laying the tracks over each other
but he's playing it twice and laying the tracks over each other
This is the best description of life I’ve ever heard in a song. You just can’t top this shit, keep up the good work dude best reactor out there.
Best experienced with decent headphones and some primo sativa.
garethwright6 In the dark.
Listening with focal elex headphones with just the right NOS tube on the LYR 3, sounds pretty sweet to me
LSD and album on repeat
The female voice in the background is British session singer Clare Torry. She sang backup on the whole album. She really shines in Great Gig in the Sky.
YAAAAAS! Next: Pink Floyd - Dogs
Absolutely....
complete animals Dogs , Sheep, Pigs
I love Pigs and Sheep too. That sounded wrong...
Yes listen to Dogs those solos fuckkkkkkk
Yesssssss!!!
Once you establish a personal relationship with this album, it will get you through many, many bad days.
DSotM is an old friend that is always home when you need him.
amen to that.
Very well said. Ty
it is an old friend, always
LSU 19
So true! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Damn straight ....... ALWAYS
You have to get high and listen to the whole album at once . It's one of the best records ever made, that takes you on a awesome journey. Each song is building up to the next and so on. The whole album is like one long song. Fuckin amazing! 😘
Let us not forget "Echos".
No need to get high. The music gets you high just close your eyes.
Such a positive happy guy❤ Thank you for being you
Did this on shrooms while in wilderness and it was truly awesome
@@jacobmcintosh5166 no need indee, but it's a nice bonus :)
Its therapy not just music
Backing vocals for Pink Floyd's Time
Doris Troy - backing vocals
Lesley Duncan - backing vocals
Liza Strike - backing vocals
Barry St. John - backing vocals
Thank you
you are correct if the version he is watching is from Dark side of the moon (looking at the album cover it seems so but usually i found that on the web they tend to use the versions from the tour albums either delicate or pulse) here but if it is the version from delicate sound of thunder is either the only white lady of the 3 vocalist that i think was Margret Taylor and in pulse i think was Claudia fontaine
@@lucabazzanella7780 The tall black singer is Durga McBroom. You'll recognize her as one of the dancers in "Flashdance". Claudie Fontaine is her sister. Other touring singers have been Margaret Taylor, Rachel Fury, Claire Torre & Vicki Brown ( these 2 at Knebworth) and Sam Brown. Claire is the one who sang "Great Gig in the Sky" and finally got recognition and royalties for her vocal arrangement and performance.
Dont know who yo are King KTF, just happened across your channel, but your really seem to understand music at a deep level. your reaction to the background singers brought me to tears, music does that, it gets to places where you thought your life was dried up, just to discover the vast world that is still undiscovered, inspired music. God Bless.
James Smith I love how Pink Floyd brings people together with how beautiful their music is. :')
The backup singer is Clare Tony There have been others since but she is the original. Her vocals in The Great Gig In The Sky are simply astonishing. Makes the hair on your arms stand up. Goosebumps !
Preston - hold on I wanna hear that 1 more time
Me - yeah you do
Clare Torry, Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Liza Strike - these are backing vocalists for the whole album.
@@jeslookn5470 Correct - she was there for one day only, to record GGITS. She never heard anything more about it until she saw the album in a record shop, and saw her name on the credits.
Jes Lookn you're right. The rest were just background vocalists
Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. Do that one next. You will love it!!
This is one of those albums that everyone remembers exactly where they were, or what they were doing, when they heard it for the very first time. I sure as hell do!!
I love Comfortably Numb but hearing it live at the Pulse Concert is epic.
Not sure who that singer in the background was. They had a number of great background vocalists on the album. Great Gig in The Sky really features one of them. Take a listen, you won't regret it.
Claire H Torry
Pay attention son. When you're listening to Pink Floyd you are receiving messages from GOD. Nothing less than masterful musicianship, with prophetic lyrics and angelic chorus. I'm glad you feel it man. Your soul is intact.
Via the means of an atheist. Fascinating idea though.
Man that's perfect....receiving messages from God. That is exactly right.
Preston I imagine you feel like I do, every time David Gilmore picks up his guitar I expect it to start talking, I am 72 and I have felt this way since the beginning of Floyd! I feel very fortunate to have grown up in an era with so many great bands, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues my favorite of all time, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, ELO, The Eagles and many more and the best part is I have seen them all live!
I made it a priority for my 2 kids to hear all of pink floyd when they were young. Like classic literature, it should be required listening. Bravo to you sir for appreciating some of the best music to ever be created.
Pink Floyd didn't make songs, they made albums. There is always a continuous theme to all the songs in the given album, like a story unraveling along the way. You can try "Dogs" by them, from their "Animals" album (very underrated and my favorite btw)
Sam Khan for their Concept albums, yes. Only Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut are Concept albums, Division Bell had a common theme, but wasnt a concept album. Remember, Dark Side is their 9th studio album.
You almost miss something if you try to break Dark Side of the Moon into "songs"! It is best start to finish, then do it again.
This☝️👏
animals is their best album. just not considered their "mainstream" best
Animals! By far my favorite Pink Floyd album start to finish! Dark Side a very, very close second!
OMG I just started listing to this song for the fist time with a nice set of headphones .WOW. Nothing today can compare....
Timothy McCune you have to listen to the entire album start to finish with a good pair of headphones trust me you won’t be disappointed!
Takes me back 48 years, to age 18, taking the record out of the sleeve and hearing this for the first time. You can never hear this too many times
I only discovered "reaction" videos a few months ago. I have watched MANY reaction channels...covering a lot of music styles. I am a Pink Floyd fan from decades ago, but I also love most of the REAL music from the 60's onwards. KING KTF..YOU are the ONLY genuine "reactor"! So many channels have no idea what they are actually hearing- they have no soul for the music, they just pretend.
You are now the only reaction channel I will ever watch. Naturally, it's the Pink Floyd...mostly. *winks* Thanks, and kudos to you kid!
If you listen to this song over time it will become your favourite Floyd song. It's science
Fact. The older you get the more this song grips you and draws you in. It was always my favourite Floyd song even as young as 10 Yrs old. But it's only got better over the last 20 years ☺️
Imagine a concert stage totally dark,with the sound of a clock tick,then and alarm going off. Suddenly a small but bright spot light is on the drummer,his back is to you and he starts playing small bongo like drums . All you can see is him playing this intro. Then suddenly at the end of his solo ,he spins around and the stage explodes with lights the whole band starts playing that great song. That was 46 years ago, every time l hear that song that memory floods my thoughts.
That is the true genius of Pink Floyd - perfect timing, pitch, synchronization, stunning voiceovers, soaring to the heights, uplifting your soul while simultaneously bringing you to tears, it is indeed an emotional roller coaster, absolutely positively outstanding.
‘The Great Gig In The Sky ‘ features vocals by the same female singer. Do that next!
Pigs (Three Different Ones), Have A Cigar, Echoes, Another Brick In The Wall (full version)
im with you on all that but i have to say Animals the whole album is just nasty. i picked Dogs but that album is soo good
Aaron Hickman dogs is another good one :)
Yes! Have a cigar ❤
Yes! Yes! and Eh...
Dark side of the moon is truly a musical masterpiece.
Your passion shows 100%, Sir & watching your material is a pleasure.
Respect from Belfast, Ireland. 👍
And the female singer is Clare Torrey she is even more amazing on the great gig in the sky track
Ed Cummings Nope. Doris Troy sings on Time. Clare Torry sings on Great gig in the sky.
@@keithandersonbrady5026 never even noticed it was two different women singing cause of how the one song flows into the other on the album, thanks
Shine on you Crazy Diamond.... it will be your new favorite 🤠
Nobody seems to request this one on this channel, while it's clearly in every Pink Floyd Top 5 you can find anywhere... It's a mystery.
I know right. Pink Floyd is soooooo awesome.
Please Preston do this song and you will be a serious Pink Tool fan
All the Parts of Shine on!
Actually, the whole damn album!
@,Blair Bowers, you'd b a fool, not to b a fan of PINK TOOL! lol.
I'm 50 and a mexican and I heard Pink Floyd for the first time when I was 8 first song ...another brick in the wall since then...my favorite band ......
I remember running and skipping back home with my pink floyd record (vinyl) ..... desperate to hear it and wow it was out of this world!! Still resonates and never fails to delight after all these years .... as a Grandma of 4!!
The Gods of Music are pleased with KTF. THEY'RE PLEASED WITH KTF!!! Preston, You are my favourite channel right now. I've even discovered songs because of your videos. Keep doing you, you have no idea how much you are in my circle of friends AND how many Rock fans love you. Much respect, Keep on...
Time is a lyrical masterpiece. Considered one of the greatest lyrical performances of all time. How do you write a song about a subject as all encompassing as time without it coming off as cheesy and cliche or convoluted and overly wordy? Yet Roger Waters (the lyricist and one of Pink Floyd's two vocalists) did exactly that.
It really is, its something that almost everyone can relate to but doesnt beat you over the head with it
Also I love your username i used to play MTG and loved the Invasion cycle novels
The Darkside Album was a masterpiece. It's still on the Billboard Top 100 List to this day. I was 4 the first time I heard this album. its still on my rotation. its like comfort food for the soul. An essential and mandatory part of any music lover's collection.
Yawg a lyrical masterpiece indeed and what puts this over the top is that it also has a great guitar solo with great drumming sounds in the opening, and soulful vocals throughout . That song encompassed "everything".
Actually, Waters did not sing on this track. David Gilmour sang first lead, Richard Wright sang the second stanza of each verse.
He encapsulates the somber acceptance if the subject, without riding off a chorus or seeming too moody
The female vocalist is Clare H. Torry,she is now 71 years old. She played a part in the bands the Alan Parsons project and the bleeding heart band. And also the great gig in the sky.
what i love the most about pink floyd is they said we will throw a guitar solo in where ever we want , which is kind of a refreshing concept
Bro i've been binging your videos because they remind me of how these songs hit me when i was first listening to them, keep it up!
Dude... althoughi love your being introduced to these songs.... they are merely a "snapshot", you're missing the "movie"... gotta hear THAT album cover to cover.
There's a lot of truth to this. A lot of these 70s rock albums were just that: albums. They weren't a collection of singles, they were a whole, about 46 minutes long.
Truth.
Would love to see him do a reaction to The Wall. That Pink Floyd movie was amazing.
Yes! Even if we never see a recording of your reaction, please listen to the entire album.
#truth...
1:52 THAT SMILE WHEN THE FIRST NOTE HITS!🙌🏻👌🏻🤩
The smile from the first chord after the bells.
Awww, yeah, I know that feeling.
Echoes, live at Pompeii!
Came to suggest this. That version is mind blowingly good
Only if hes watching the footage at the same time.Otherwise meddle version.
@@doscwolny2221 Same with One of These Days...
Man, your reactions are great. To see somebody enjoy stuff like you have for years is fun to watch. Keep doing what you're doing!! 👍👍
Dude you are making me appreciate Floyd all over again. Their music comes back into my life in different seasons and I can appreciate it in all new ways. Such an absolutely killer band, absolutely legendary, almost every song is just dope. I can't explain it. I can finally start to see what people were getting at who proudly wore pink Floyd shirts and gear before I even knew who they were or anything...I can finally see a little bit of what those people were trying to represent and carry with them to spread to others.
You liked this and several other Floyd songs so much. Why did you stop??? Many more Pink Floyd masterpieces for you to experience,
Rick Carioti didn't one of the members wife die and he quit to raise his kids.
He fell down that rabbit hole deep
Play Pink Floyd across the country and reduce crime 15%!
Yep. legalize ganja and play this all the time....we'd all realize how stupid anger and rage are and how f'd up it is to spend your few trips around the sun doing dumb shit.
Preston, check out the Pink Floyd movie “The Wall”. You’ll love it. It’d be too much to do a whole video but something like highlights or a review after from you would be awesome! Keep it up man, I love checking these out!
And for that matter, listen to the “Dark Side of the Moon”album straight through. Takes about 45 minutes and you’ve heard a few already, but Floyd is meant to be listened to an entire album at a time...it all flows together seamlessly.
@@schrims55 it's truly an experience. I dont think Preston smokes weed, but ideal conditions for Floyd is a blacklit room, big headphones, a joint, and a comfy place to lay.
Agreed with all also if you want to chill out get yourself a copy of live at Pompeii and watch that. Always puts me at ease
I wrote the same thing but would love to see his reaction to the movie in general..
I always wanted to watch that film. What is it like?
I feel this way when I listen to them every time. After 35 years of listening to em. Time is timeless
That guitar solo is so emotional. The album is a masterpiece without a doubt
PINK FLOYD - SHEEP
Animals is the best album by Pink Floyd...
Good video, please react to Pink Floyd ... The great Gig In The Sky!! You'll have chills to the next level.
Dark Side of the Moon came out my freshman year in college. Every dorm room that had a stereo was blasting this song. Those heavy bass notes at the beginning made everyone go "wow".
The very first concert I ever went to was April 1973 Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. 14 years old. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Tour. It changed my life!
