People aren't getting the joke here... The joke is that the song was recorded twice because they messed everything up the first time in the final mixing stage!
One of the most brilliant and rare things Pink Flord shows in their compositions is patients with the development of the music. This is an excellent example of that.
Thanks for doing this reaction - enjoyed it. This song has a second part: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX)".....what is in this video is Parts I - V.
I think what I love most about this album is just when you think it doesn't get any better, it does! LOL. I have listened to this album literally a 1000 times and it never gets old.
Also the aeolian sound with the minior 5th is something rarely heard nowadays! Those guys really knew how to write songs and chord progressions. And actually you can‘t put Pink Floyd into a box, they are not purely rock, they are almost their own genre!
The rumbling throbbing at the end is the feed into the next song “ Welcome to the Machine”. If you light acoustic guitar with synthesisers then you’ll love it. More Sax then please try “Us and Them”.
the thing with pink floyd is the music is designed to be listened to 1 track after the other when there was only records you put and album on and listened from start to finish, David Gilmour is one of the best Guitarist's ever. the emotion you can hear when he plays is amazing.
Saxophonist Richard Parry was the unofficial fifth member of Pink Floyd having appeared on a few of their classic albums and toured with them. You might want to listen to "Us and Them" next, from 'Dark Side of the Moon' album which features a heavy dose of Mr Parry's sexy Sax. 🎷.
The entire album, an homage to founding band member Syd Barrett who was dropped from the band suffering severe mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse, is an absolute Masterpiece!
Im 63 now got this vinyl album as a 15 year old, i go to bed most nights switch off the light and play this incredible piece of music, a masterpiece as everyone says, the whole album is a true masterpiece and is probably the greatest album ever made!!!
These days it almost requires someone with a classical music background to be able to appreciate a ~14 minute listen to one song. Floyd was not only amazing in their time, they still are. Compared to most of the current musical landscape Pink Floyd is actually getting more impressive over time.
We've become so used to hearing these types of synthesizer sounds, that it's easy to forget (or miss) that when this was recorded these sounds were new to everyone's ears. Richard Wright deserves more credit for his pioneering work with the technology. He did amazing stuff with brand new tech and was probably responsible for %80 of Pink Floyd's overall sound, while all the focus was on Roger's writing and David's playing. More than anyone since Syd left, Rick Wright WAS Pink Floyd. Saxophone work on this album and Dark Side of the Moon was done by the late, great, Dick Perry. He worked with them in the studio and would occasionally tour with them. 🤘🧙♂️🤘 Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
Since you are a classical trained guitarist, you MUST react to the Pulse live version of „Comfortably numb“, as it has 2 iconic guitar solos, the second one being around 5 minutes long and some say it is the best guitar solo ever on this planet!
Great piece to react to. In my top 5 albums of all time. Dick Parry played the sax on several PF tunes and toured too. Wish You Were Here (album) is a masterpeice. Dedicated to their founder Syd Barrett, who sadly had severe mental/drug related problems. It also calls out the greed/phony-ness of the music industry (this album followed their HIGHLY successful Dark Side of the Moon LP). Consider reacting to the rest of the album! The last piece is Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts 6-9. Some consider it even better than parts 1-5.
Since you particularly pointed out the Sax solo: live, the sax player starts off with a bariton sax and switches to a tenor sax he had on the back for the second part of the soli!
My favorite song to play. I've spent hundreds of hours, perhaps a few thousand, learning it, studying it, playing it.... .... And I still enjoy just listening to it.
I’ve been listening to some of your arrangements man. As a classical/jazz guitarist myself, i love to see musicians react to those old classics. Try to do some reactions on dark side of the Moon - pink Floyd as well 😉 New sub here
One of my absolute favorite albums! I'm showing my age, but this song was the first time I ever heard a CD. Yes, I grew into adulthood with vinyl and cassette and CDs were a new thing. My friend got a CD player and I went to hear it and this is the song he played. I scrapped my plans to get an updated computer and got a CD player instead. I got this album and, I think, David Bowie's "Let's Dance". This album still is one of my favorites, and this is my go-to song when I want to kick back and veg out.
I knew you would luv it, surprised you didn't expect that,,,,,, Cheers This album came out 50 yrs ago this yearl Just wait this is what Floyd is all about...... so many unexpected things..wit till you check out great gig in the sky..... do album version thou has to be Claire Torry
Welcome to the Machine, came out in 1975. It was dark side of the moon that was released in 73. I mean Wish you were here not welcome the machine. So easy to make an error😂
An epic composition. The background noise you hear is the fade-in to the next track, "Welcome To The Machine" to finish side one. Then two more to start side two ("Have a Cigar" & "Wish You Were Here") followed by another four segments of the opener, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts VI-IX" to close the album. You really should listen to the entire thing in one sitting (just like all their other truly epic ones - "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Animals", and "The Wall" - each has a theme and/or a story to tell).
You ‘get it’, my friend. Many decades from now another person such as yourself will listen to this music for the first time and dig it just like you did. Enjoy your journey through these soundscapes and enjoy life. Peace.
I think you would really enjoy listening from front to back as has already been stated. Coming from a classical background, you’ll understand the idea of movements in a symphony or sections of opera that the band really revolutionized with the “Big Four”.
I've seen a lot of reactions to this piece and no one ever mentions the keyboard work, because Richard Wright, while absolutely essential, was either very sneaky or very modest.
Yes - this is the first reaction video I've ever seen where Wright's accompaniment (and not merely a moment where he rises prominently to the surface) was pointed out. @@lynnhoffmann247
(S) hine On (Y) ou Crazy (D) iamond A tribute to their founding member, who was lost to mental illness and too much acid years earlier. He could no longer perform, so the band dropped him, but never forgot him. His royalties were paid until his death in 2996. 13:02 A hauntingly beautiful ode to Syd. 🙌🏼 Please do parts 6-9, which are even more beautiful to me.
"And when the band you're in starts playing different tunes...'. Syd would start playing a different song on stage to the rest of the group, which was the point that they realised he would have to go! I always interpreted the sax here as Syd, Sometimes (often) mindblowingly good but then getting lost 'on the steel breeze', and ending in unstructured confusion.
If you listen to this entire song which you're listening to parts 1 through 5. The second half at the end completes the album with parts 6 through 9. And instead of just calling this a song I would call it more like a piece of music kind of like Mozart's Requiem or Beethoven's 9th symphony!! This is that for Pink Floyd! You can't really pin them down and call them classical rock or even progressive-rock which is what they're called! Instead and I think more accurately they should just be identified as their own genre!! They are that unique!! That strange sound you heard at the end of the song was this one smoothly transitioning into the next song on the album called "Welcome to the Machine", which I would recommend you listen to!!! Very unusual song that still sounds futuristic even though it was recorded in 1975!!!
You should check out Anglagård - Kung Bore. They're a swedish prog rock band from the 90s, inspired by both jazz and classic music. Very unknown band, but some of the most interesting prog to ever be made.
In a sense, your interpretation that the music conveys the end of a big fight is not that far off! The song us about an early band member, who had drug problems and ultimately serious health issues and maybe in the end even died (but I am not fully sure). „you reached for the secrets too soon“ „now there‘s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky“.
Obviously highly recommend doing tgd album in track order that ends with S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 6-9 But also if you want to see the guys playing in an empty ancient Roman Amphitheatre with No Audience Check out Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972
You should have watched the live version from the Pulse course - Pink Floyd is only half the experience, when you listen to the audio, they used to also put an incredible visual show (because they feared people would orherwise find the music alone boring).
When all of todays musical trends like rock and roll. Punk Rock Heavy Metal have been forgotten Pink Floyd like Beethoven. Mozart and Bach will always be relevent because they are unique and stand alone in there own genre
Please do the live versions of their songs !!!!!, 'PULSE CONCERT', has this song and many other masterpieces performed, really a stunning evening out we had, three cheers to you thanks
Ah yes, another finds the absolute musical and lyrical genius of Pink Floyd! This song is a lament about the loss of an original member of the band to insanity. This next recommendation is primarily with acoustic, both 12 and 6 string, and also laments this person's loss: ua-cam.com/video/84Tq-eAJIk4/v-deo.html (Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited)) David Gilmour is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, here is one you must watch from a performance in Gdansk. ua-cam.com/video/rU_k8BNCcOM/v-deo.html (High Hopes - David Gilmour live @ Gdansk 2006) His acoustic guitar solo at the end with the angelic strings in the background is truly sublime. (entire string section of the Polish Orchestra)

OHH you are in for a musical treat... 50 yr fan. I would not know me withoit Floyd....cheers enjoy
I consider this song to be in the top five of all songs that were ever recorded produced written produced and recorded
I 2nd that emotion...
let’s put echoes, comfortably numb, time, and dogs in there too
People aren't getting the joke here... The joke is that the song was recorded twice because they messed everything up the first time in the final mixing stage!
I agree!!
Tossup between this and Gimme Shelter from the Stones as to which is my favorite song.
One of the most brilliant and rare things Pink Flord shows in their compositions is patients with the development of the music. This is an excellent example of that.
Thanks. A great reaction to one of the many masterpieces of Pink Floyd. I hope you go deeper into the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. 😊
Thanks for doing this reaction - enjoyed it. This song has a second part: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX)".....what is in this video is Parts I - V.
You would do YOURSELF a disservice if you didn't do (Parts VI - IX)
Pink Floyd we’re masters of the live performance.
I think what I love most about this album is just when you think it doesn't get any better, it does! LOL. I have listened to this album literally a 1000 times and it never gets old.
Not only does it not get old, it actually gets better with familiarity.
Floyd is timeless.
Also the aeolian sound with the minior 5th is something rarely heard nowadays! Those guys really knew how to write songs and chord progressions. And actually you can‘t put Pink Floyd into a box, they are not purely rock, they are almost their own genre!
One of the worlds biggest and most influential unique bands in history.
Superb reaction X
The rumbling throbbing at the end is the feed into the next song “ Welcome to the Machine”. If you light acoustic guitar with synthesisers then you’ll love it. More Sax then please try “Us and Them”.

The fact that this was the follow-up to "Dark Side of the Moon" makes it all the more amazing.
Wow
What a unique appreciation of this beloved piece of music my friend.
Most unique I've ever heard on UA-cam.
Thank you for this.
My favorit classical music band. Flying to my past time little bit sadness........ that guitar make me ......oh....

Pink Floyd is Legendary!
Since you particularly pointed out the Sax solo: live, the sax player starts off with a bariton sax and switches to a tenor sax he had on the back for the second part of the soli!
There is nothing better than to sit and listen to Pink Floyd while drinking beer and eating olives ! Cheers brother !

Richard Perry was the Pink Floyd Sax man, when required he played on albums and toured with them but was not a full time member of the band.
Dick Parry👌

That guitar doing the counter rhythm is how the other part starts...you will love it.
Why not complete the experience with shine on you crazy diamond pt V1--1X.
please do more pink floyd reactions

I love that picture in the background! Great reaction, but then it is Pink!
Great job my friend you didn’t interrupt. Perfect. Have a great day.
More Pink Floyd!
Ahoy mate, try the live one called 'PULSE concert'', the sax solo was two instruments,
Just to let you know their albums are all to be listened to from 1st track to the last in order.
Welcome to the machine called Pink Floyd! 😎
I think you would really enjoy listening from front to back as has already been stated. Coming from a classical background, you’ll understand the idea of movements in a symphony or sections of opera that the band really revolutionized with the “Big Four”.
I've seen a lot of reactions to this piece and no one ever mentions the keyboard work, because Richard Wright, while absolutely essential, was either very sneaky or very modest.
And often overlooked.

Check out Dark side of the Moon (all at once). Then it is done, live, on second side of the Pulse concert, along with visuals of light show.
Dick Parry on sax. Please also check out the second part of the song.
That moment at 3:30... that was when you got irreversebly hooked.
Obviously highly recommend doing tgd album in track order that ends with S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 6-9
But also if you want to see the guys playing in an empty ancient Roman Amphitheatre with No Audience
Check out
Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972
After watching the Pulse version of this song, I believe Dick Parry changes from a tenor to an alto sax in the middle of the solo.
Also helps when you have the best sound man on the planet.

You should have watched the live version from the Pulse course - Pink Floyd is only half the experience, when you listen to the audio, they used to also put an incredible visual show (because they feared people would orherwise find the music alone boring).
Nah, a good many sections aren’t in the live version. This is what should be heard first. 👍🏼
Check out their Live Pulse songs, you won't regret it.
Fabulous as always... you and the band. ✌

Ah yes, another finds the absolute musical and lyrical genius of Pink Floyd! This song is a lament about the loss of an original member of the band to insanity. This next recommendation is primarily with acoustic, both 12 and 6 string, and also laments this person's loss:

the saxophone can go with any instrument.
Be sure to listen to parts 6 to 9. Even better!
I can tell you like saxophone like I do.
Ever get a chance to listen a band called the Seatbelts song called Tank.
It goes right into the next song, that's why the ending sounds unfinished.
Is that a Milwaukee Lakefront Brewery beer? I'll subscribe if it is!
Ooohh you know it babe.

you this sounds abit like gospel half way through, then please check out The Great Gig In The Sky.
But what do you think of the guitarist? the great david (the best)
You might prefer the lead guitarist playing this acoustically.
