This song, like many others from the Pink Floyd catalogue, will grow on you as you grow older. You will find more and more little details with which to connect and relate. Thats what good, timeless music does. It grows with you and within you.
thanks for this one 😎👍 . next one from Pink Floyd - coming back to life ( live Pulse 1994 ) = 3 live guitar solo .. 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶 and when you can , Pink Floyd - Us and Them ( with lyric ) .. ✨✨
Animals is a masterpiece, i loved it since first time i've heard it. It sad that most of people don't know or appreciate this album. It was a sort of transition album, the most intimate and pessimistic perhaps, but so involving and imaginific.
Animals is such a classic album, it became huge even with only long, intricate songs other than the acoustic intro and outro so got little airplay on conventional radio back in the day but was a staple on college and progressive stations in New England. Do Also Pigs and Sheep from that biting album. More Floyd! And some Zeppelin, too. 🎵
Really lovely to take part in your discovery of this amazing group, which I myself discovered by shance when I was 14. Here's a tip: listen to the entirety of the album "Dark Side of the Moon". Another tip: since you seem to enjoy the extended PF songs, maybe try out some related extended "prog" songs from this era, eg. YES "Close to the Edge" and Genesis "Supper's Ready". Lots of atmosphere, (different but definitely) vibe, intricate lyrics and musical awesomeness on them all.
Loved the stink face during that initial Gilmore solo after the second stanza where he just drags us all down in the filth. Some people listen to this and overlook how incredible it is. It speaks even louder than the lyrics, and the lyrics are as high fidelity as it comes. Some things are ineffable. That solo drags five inch claws through your soul!
Anthropomorphization is to make things or nonhuman animals out to be human. The Pixar movie "Cars" anthropormorphizes cars, for instance. In this album, animals are compared to people. It comes from Greek: Anthropos is man, or person, and morphe is form. So something that's anthropomorphic is something that is human-formed (but not an actual human).
This song was originally called You Gotta Be Crazy and was played live years before it was changed into Dogs to fit the "Animal Farm" based theme of this album. Same thing with Sheep. It was a song originally called Raving and Drooling. Pigs Three Different Ones and the love song Pigs on the Wing was written by Roger for the album. This album and every song on it was the pinnacle of the classic line up of the Floyd in my opinion. Might not have generated the cash flow that DSOTM and The Wall but it never ever got better than this. Plus I actually saw them perform it live. Love going down the rabbit hole with someone as obviously hooked as you are. There's only a handful of songs out of their catalog that needn't be heard and even those have a certain charm. You'll soon know the name of the game and be riding the gravy train🤣.
Saw both of those early versions as part of the opening set in the old Boston Garden in 1975. The 2nd set was Dark Side of the Moon, then they encored with Echoes. Amongst the best shows I ever saw. Then saw Animals as the opening set at the same place in 1977, the 2nd set was all of Wish You Were here. Both shows cost $8.50. How lucky can you get. Floyd forever!
@@vicprovost2561 First time I saw them was in 77 and it was the same set as your concert. The two songs Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling are here in great condition on UA-cam I assume from the 75 tour you saw. It's cool to hear them in original form.
Also, as You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling (later to be Sheep) they were supposed to be on the album after Dark Side, but Roger Waters felt the tone and themes did not pair well with Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and, since Waters basically took charge of that album (since the other three were stressed about following up Dark Side, and enjoying their new-found wealth, and Waters needed to work to cope with going through a bitter divorce). Waters decided the layout of the album: splitting Shine On into Parts I-V, and VI - IX, bookending Welcome To The Machine, Have A Cigar, Wish You Were Here (writing the three in studio and not pre-toured like previous works) that supported the theme of absence. Gilmour hated the idea, but Mason and Wright agreed with Waters, so he was out-voted. (Fun fact: since then, both Gilmour and Wright had publicly stated WYWH was their favorite album) Waters then re-worked the lyrics for Gotta Be Crazy and Raving And Drooling for the Animals album, and they wrote Pigs, Three Different Ones and Pigs On The Wing (also split into two parts, like Shine On) and voila! So yes, you can see the Waters effect - he was a genius in crafting the albums after Dark Side. And all because his bandmates deferred and had to be dragged in to rehearse and record. Is it any wonder Waters took over the group? Because they let him. But, when all is said and done, these four were geniuses together. Sorry for the soap box...
Great Track. Excellent Guitar work from David Gilmour. And Richard Wright Keyboards. Waters brilliant lyrics. Thanks for posting RONNIE Ayrshire Scotland.
@@jonathansmith3742 Absolutely !!!! Totally agree with You, 💯% Fabulous Album. Have You heard, Nick Mason, Saucerful Of Secrets ??? Playing early Floyd Tracks. RONNIE
You are one of the first reaction that notice Pink Floyd music is in a category of it's own. ( not rock and roll ) first to record in 4, 8 16, 32 tracks and any new electronic .
Roger Waters, bassist, wrote all the lyrics for this album (and Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and the Wall) This album is Roger at his most cynical, almost misanthropic. Rather dark and pessimistic, but beautiful all the same.
Its even better with over the ear headphones. Earbuds aren't the same- the ear is designed to use the outer ear too. Then add the vibrations that the ear buds don't offer.
I remember coming out of work in stewerts road battersea and seeing a 40ft pig flying across battersea power station it had got lose from ropes i thought i was seeing things didnt know it was for floyd until brought the album.
Hmmm... I love this channel already! Saw you in a Chris Farley fan group today. Saw a FB cover that mentioned this channel that led me here. Oh my god I love Pink Floyd. If you haven't already.... please check out David Gilmore's solo stuff. Soooooo worth it! Look up the song There's Nowhere Out Of Here by David Gilmore of Pink Floyd. You will love it!
Thank you for that. So many other great titles off this album that tie together the different classes of our society: the rich (Pigs), the poor (Sheep), and ruthless business class (Dogs). Please keep them coming!
The album cover shows a painting of an original event . They had a huge floating pig flying above Battersea power station in London. The tether “ broke “ and it flew away never to seen again.
Hey there. Ive only just come across your videos. Its beautiful watching you being moved by PF. Dont know what else youve sampled yet other than Comfy Numb, but Welcome to Floyd. These tracks are often not so much songs as 'experiences' which can often have their own personal messages for you in them, in the moment. Moreso, the albums around this era of Floyd are meant to be listened to as a whole album (as an experience). You will find it speaks even more deeply to you as a whole, than just their individual tracks. For me, this era of Floyd is the best, with albums: Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, and Animals, (the later being my all time favourite). Other albums that (again for me) are amongst their best, are: Meddle, Division Bell, and then David Gilmour (the guitarist and one of the vocalists) solo album: On an island. But everyone will have different faves personal to them. One suggestion ...i personally wouldnt listen to the album, The Wall, if you are ever greiving, as much of it is too dark to experience in such a state. While everyones experience is individual; i did sit thru it once while greiving in the 80s, and it could have been the end of me. But in a balanced state of mind and heart, it has some great tracks on it. The Movie "The Wall" is worth a watch too. I saw PF here in OZ in 86, and then later have seen Roger Waters (one of the 2 main vocalists) perform 3 other shows too. And was lucky to catch his remake of The Wall concert in Sydney about 10yrs ago. Absolutely breath taking!! Its a theatrical 'Show'. Live is an amazing experience. You wont see PF tour anymore as David is doing his own thing, but Roger Waters was still performing entire PF albums only a few years ago. So if you can ...GO!! It may just be your last opportunity, for your generation to have a truly amazing experience at one of their shows. That being said, there is some very good PF tribute cover shows out there, but never on such a grand scale as Rogers Shows. Enjoy your continuing journey with Floyd.
The song like many Pink Floyd are two parts. David Gilmour sings the first part which is the old man telling the young buck what he needs to do to be successful and the result of those actions. The second part is the young bucks response sang by Waters. The coda is waters describing the old man.
I remember when I first listened to this song years ago with headphones on after blazing one and in the middle part the whistling tripped me out big time. And the movie The Wall is very hard to understand as it is mostly visual metaphors driven by the narative of the lyrics of the album. My friends and I when we were younger used to watch it and try to decode what we were watching to figure out what it ment, but if you know what the story is about then its alot easier to figure out. If you can find the movie that would be cool to see your first reaction on it.
I love this album..... not only is the music and lyrics amazing, the underlying meaning(s) are very deep and in a lot of ways relatable. My cat thrash dances whenever I play this song and when I've asked him why he does that, he just shakes his head and says I wouldn't understand so we just let him dance dance dance.... ☺
Great job with Pink Floyd as usual You seem genuinely interested in them, I know you understand them, I can tell. Animals is a pivotal album for Pink Floyd, it was kind of a, "straw that breaks the camel's back", type thing. Roger Waters relationship with the rest of the band members, David Gilmour in particular, had been deteriorating since the "Wish You Were Here" album, almost 2 years before "Animals". Roger just walked into the studio one day and told the other 3, something like,... 'Oh, you know that new album we're releasing next, well I have written all the music and all the lyrics, so it's all done!! It's called "Animals"! Prior to this Pink Floyds music was a collaboration of Roger Waters and David Gilmour and to a lesser extent Rick Wright and Nick Mason, the other two PF members. David Gilmour was livid with Waters, after all up to now Gilmour had written most of the band's music and some of the vocals. He was also the lead singer, guitarist and frontman, so he was real mad to say the least. So, things were going downhill fast, Roger fired Rick Wright, (keyboards), he was one of the original members! He had to hire him back because no one else could do The Wall. Roger was on a self-absorbed power trip that was tearing the band apart, and David Gilmour was NOT having it! It was a mess, today it is still regarded as the biggest, venomous riff between Rock Band members in the history of Rock & Roll. They held it together to do The Wall album in 1979, and in 1983 they released the appropriately titled "The Final Cut". Which was supposed to be their final album. Roger Water quit Pink Floyd around 1986, thinking that they could not, and would not, continue on with the band. In fact, att, he was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine saying, "Pink Floyd is a spent entity". Well, he was wrong, David Gilmour, (guitar, lead vocals), Rick Wright, (keyboards, synth), and Nick Mason continued on as Pink Floyd with 3 members until 2006. Roger Waters sued them for the use of the name, he lost the suit. Pink Floyd was hugely successful in the years after Waters, they continued selling millions and millions of albums and selling out huge arenas, sometimes in a matter of hours. I'd just like to mention, your audio is still not very good.
the reason waters wrote most lyrics was because none of the others were offering anything to the table, that is why he thought pink floyd was spent when he left, because he was the only one offering anything to do (he admitted he was wrong afterwards when he was proven wrong), this is why he had to offer a choice of his own work of either the wall or hitchhikers, the band chose the wall, this is why he was seen as controlling, because these great albums were his babies and he wanted his vision of the songs to be used. , this is why waters was seen as the leader and frontman of pink floyd, but the guitarist gilmour wanted his music to be more prominent than the lyrics. gilmour has just as much ego as waters, this is proven when after waters left, gilmour turned the band into a band that had the lead guitar and himself as the central piece (not a bad thing), masons pet name for this era of floyd as the republic of gilmour for good reason. AMLOR was originally a album without much done by mason and wright, except for live performances, until gilmour realises that it needed to sound more like a floyd album, so he did a remix a long time later with mason and wright performing on the album more, (he admitted this in an interview). the arguements were brought on by gilmours ego as well, when two brilliant geniuses who are experts in differing ways work together, there will always be arguements and problems, many bands have gone this way. i am not anti gilmour, i believe all members are worthy but i am sick of the waters hate and misinformation that goes around by the gilmour fans, pink floyd are a band, wright was contributing nothing to the band except his playing, even then only just, he was on a drug binge and not showing up for recording sessions and even went overseas one time on a cocaine binge when he was supposed to be in the studio, gilmour had to go over and get him back, wright has said in an interview that it was his choice to leave and mason has said it was more of a bands decision rather than just a waters decision. waters was a bit controlling those days(as such geniuses are), but gilmour has been the prick nowadays, waters was a founder of pink floyd, he wrote most of their songs and without him they would not be the same, but gilmour wont let anything by him go on the pink floyd website, yet others with less influence on pink floyd, can go on it. it is gilmours choice to ignore waters contributions to this great band.
The progression of chords in the verses is so interesting and unusual...also like the shift of lead vocals--Gilmour for most of it, then Waters ("Got to admit that I'm a little bit confused, sometimes it seems to me, as if I'm just being used...")
Please could you react to "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd and if you do react to this genius track you must have the accompanying video that goes with this track you'll appreciate it much more.plus I'm so pleased you like Pink Floyd as I have been a Floyd fan since the 60s and there is simply no one to touch them in my opinion.🇬🇧👍🤗🤗🤗
Part of the Pink Floyd album Animals (1977) fitting into the Orwellian concept of comparing human behavior to various animals. Studio recordings for this project were made at Britannia Row, London. A facility built by the group after their 1975 album Wish You Were Here was released. Thanks for sharing - liked.
Saw this tour in quad arena sound. Band wearing headphones. Animal balloons floating overhead. So yeah, that happened. I always thought this recording was more a shorthand between them, about Orwell and Animal Farm. For me it never quite stuck the landing like Dark Side, Wish, or The Wall did.
Thanks for your reaction video.This is my favorite song off of the Animals album. I've seen Pink Floyd and Roger Waters in concert. Pink Floyd had a higher budget show with special effects but Roger Waters concert was amazing without all the special effects. Roger will perform songs off the Animals album like Dogs where Pink Floyd won't. I highly recommend seeing Roger Waters in concert!
The whole Animals album is amazing, it has some of Gilmour's most aggressive guitar playing. I think you might enjoy some of Mike Oldfield's music too, try Tubular Bells Part 1 then Part 2 followed by Ommadawn Part 1 and Part 2.
a very nice and an in depth i enjoyed watching you enjoy the song and performance hope you make many more but just a small remark try to work on the audio please it can be adjusted to sound better thanks
Good Reaction, Sweetie. I Just Found your channel. I'm a former Rock Singer. Headphones are a MUST!!!! RUSH & Pink Floyd will Change your Life! I'm in SC now, but Rocked in FLA during the 80-90s! I can give you bands to do, that will ADD to your Subs & Likes!!!
Pink Floyd Can be compared to "The Beatles". A day in the life, or I am the walrus, would be a great place to start, even Admiral Halsey/ Uncle Albert Which would be contemporary with Pink Floyds early hits.
Roger Waters is touring next mouth in the USA he will definitely do this and no doubt meany more of wonderful Pink Floyd song please get a ticket and see him live. It’s well worth it
To fully appreciate the Animals album, it helps to know the historical context of what Britain was going through in the late 1970s. In 1976, the United Kingdom was swimming in troubled waters. Mired in an unprecedented economic crisis, Anglo-Saxon pride is flayed by a rescue of the F.M.I. Musically too the country is lagging behind, having succumbed to the disco wave, and it is ABBA a Swedish band that outrageously dominates the podium of the charts. But that is nothing compared to the tornado that is about to sweep over the British establishment. The punk movement, this new protest movement from the United States, will permanently shock a part of British society by rebelling against the archaic values that rule it. Titles like: (Anarchy in the U.K) sum up all punk thought, they all cultivate, besides this hatred of the system, that of their elders (rock bands) whom they consider finished and good to throw away. With Pink Floyd at the head of the gondola, which sabotaged the true values of rock and its three chords by making it too intellectual and sophisticated. To the point of finding Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols) walking down Carnaby Street flanked by an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt. Wounded in his increasingly voluminous pride, Roger Waters decides to deliver his philosophical point of view about the new world order. The Animals album will be a social critique inspired by a work published in 1945, "The Animal Farm" by George Orwell, also author of the book "1984". The In The Flesh tour that followed in 1977 was also famous for the Montreal concert where Waters spit in the face of a spectator, which led him to want to erect a wall between the stage and the audience: the birth of The Wall album.
Good on you for staying with it the mistake of First time listening to PF is trying grasp the meaning of PF by plucking a track off a concept albums they don't do tracks of individual songs the whole album must be listened in order to comprehend the meaning it's deep deep Through
Hello! we are a kids family band from New Zealand and we do a lot of classic rock covers.. We hope you might like to see a Pink Floyd one we have done of 'Hey You' by Pink Floyd. We reckon it’s a really cool Pink Floyd song! Thanks :)
Absolutely love your Pink Floyd reactions, always look forward to seeing more. Lead guitarist and vocalist, David Gilmour has released several solo albums, would love to know what you you think of his song, "On An Island". This live version featuring David Crosby and Graham Nash is sublime... ua-cam.com/video/kEa__0wtIRo/v-deo.html
Anthrmorphizing ie giving animals human traits I used to think that spitting at the fan was at a cooling fan to see where the spit went, HI WATT are great amps also used by The Who.
check out atrack by David Gilmore called ''There's No Way Out Of Here'' off his solo album, you may also enjoy Rogers solo works '' Radio Kaos..., The Pros n Cons Of Hitch Hiking and Amused to Death... go girl..., lovin your reactions ''oooh'' you may also like Rick Wrights solo album ( floyds piano & organist ans song smith ) called Wet Dream..
Whatever you do, don't sit in a room filled with black lights and posters drinking and smoking weed while on LSD listening to these guys because drugs are not good for you.
Yet another young person’s confirmation by the look on her face ,of the fact that most of today’s music really does suck. Cannot compare to the masterful beauty of Pink Floyd
I truly enjoy your quest for information and ideas. That said, while listening to this reaction I admittedly checked out your expansive list of channels you have and noticed I could offer you 3 new music orientated channels to enjoy if you ever find yourself bored. Peace/JT 1. DOVYDAS, a talented musician that doesn't know much music. Here is the most recent song he up-loaded that he pulled out of his derriere. ua-cam.com/video/YwLIyfxL6Oc/v-deo.html 2. The Kiffness , It seams as though this guy hears music everywhere. I got hooked the first time I heard his Techno Horse, ua-cam.com/video/rL-ZTysl7Kk/v-deo.html 3. Puddles Pity Party. I'd be surprised if you haven't heard of him yet but just in case. Where to start with him? Here's him respecting OZZY ua-cam.com/video/h0wp0cLdqTs/v-deo.html
This befits most conflicts the world has ever witnessed. If you follow the history of international involvement since 2008 to the present day conflict in Ukraine this album has all the lies and rethoric imposed on the Ukrainian people wrapped up both in the lyrics and the music. One of these days the world powers will "isolate a winner" regardless of the political outcome on the Battlefield of a country "who was dragged down by the stone".
Pink Floyd ARE their OWN genre!!!
Pink Floyd the best band of the history and David Gilmour the best guitar all times.
arguably their greatest album. arguably their greatest song.
I'd argue that, for one.
Every one of their albums can be called their greatest! Because they are the greatest!!!!
@@greg2976 Well, ask me on a different day, you might get a different answer. But most days, this would be it.
@@SteveJonesHimself Well stated. Who can argue on Pink Floyd's greatness! It's like saying which one of your children do you love more!

Great reaction. Made my dogs go crazy hearing the dogs in the song. Got them out of the house for a while chasing nothing.
Great reaction video and informative notes at the end! Keep 'em coming!
Great album. I think it is perfectly okay for a song to be 17 minutes long. It had something to say and My God in Heaven, THE GUITAR WORK.

Thank's for this. Yes , earbuds or headphones. Glad I subscribed. This is Masterclass.
Try their song-Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave Grooving With A Pict. Crazy and interesting.

Thanks for the intense resonance. Tears are coming with dogs, am I the only one?
Despite the name of the album, "Animals", it is about humans.
noooooooooo....really?? 😁
You have a pretty good head start on your Forever Stankface. Keep up the good work!
this is a good one.

The intersection of Waters amazing lyrics, Gilmour's guitar, Mason's heartbeat drumming and Rick Wright's synth and keyboards. Timeless...

You wont see PF tour anymore as David is doing his own thing, but Roger Waters was still performing entire PF albums only a few years ago. So if you can ...GO!!
It may just be your last opportunity, for your generation to have a truly amazing experience at one of their shows. That being said, there is some very good PF tribute cover shows out there, but never on such a grand scale as Rogers Shows. Enjoy your continuing journey with Floyd.
The song like many Pink Floyd are two parts. David Gilmour sings the first part which is the old man telling the young buck what he needs to do to be successful and the result of those actions.
The second part is the young bucks response sang by Waters. The coda is waters describing the old man.
Best band ever!
Dogs is an amazing song, and Animals is a classic. May you react to Sheep, and Pigs, please? Thank you.
I remember when I first listened to this song years ago with headphones on after blazing one and in the middle part the whistling tripped me out big time.
And the movie The Wall is very hard to understand as it is mostly visual metaphors driven by the narative of the lyrics of the album. My friends and I when we were younger used to watch it and try to decode what we were watching to figure out what it ment, but if you know what the story is about then its alot easier to figure out.
If you can find the movie that would be cool to see your first reaction on it.
I love this album..... not only is the music and lyrics amazing, the underlying meaning(s) are very deep and in a lot of ways relatable.
My cat thrash dances whenever I play this song and when I've asked him why he does that, he just shakes his head and says I wouldn't understand so we just let him dance dance dance.... ☺
Great job with Pink Floyd as usual You seem genuinely interested in them, I know you understand them, I can tell.
Animals is a pivotal album for Pink Floyd, it was kind of a, "straw that breaks the camel's back", type thing. Roger Waters relationship with the rest of the band members, David Gilmour in particular, had been deteriorating since the "Wish You Were Here" album, almost 2 years before "Animals".
Roger just walked into the studio one day and told the other 3, something like,... 'Oh, you know that new album we're releasing next, well I have written all the music and all the lyrics, so it's all done!! It's called "Animals"! Prior to this Pink Floyds music was a collaboration of Roger Waters and David Gilmour and to a lesser extent Rick Wright and Nick Mason, the other two PF members.
David Gilmour was livid with Waters, after all up to now Gilmour had written most of the band's music and some of the vocals. He was also the lead singer, guitarist and frontman, so he was real mad to say the least.
So, things were going downhill fast, Roger fired Rick Wright, (keyboards), he was one of the original members! He had to hire him back because no one else could do The Wall. Roger was on a self-absorbed power trip that was tearing the band apart, and
David Gilmour was NOT having it! It was a mess, today it is still regarded as the biggest, venomous riff between Rock Band members in the history of Rock & Roll.
They held it together to do The Wall album in 1979, and in 1983 they released the appropriately titled "The Final Cut". Which was supposed to be their final album. Roger Water quit Pink Floyd around 1986, thinking that they could not, and would not, continue on with the band. In fact, att, he was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine saying, "Pink Floyd is a spent entity".
Well, he was wrong, David Gilmour, (guitar, lead vocals), Rick Wright, (keyboards, synth), and Nick Mason continued on as Pink Floyd with 3 members until 2006. Roger Waters sued them for the use of the name, he lost the suit. Pink Floyd was hugely successful in the years after Waters, they continued selling millions and millions of albums and selling out huge arenas, sometimes in a matter of hours.
I'd just like to mention, your audio is still not very good.
the reason waters wrote most lyrics was because none of the others were offering anything to the table, that is why he thought pink floyd was spent when he left, because he was the only one offering anything to do (he admitted he was wrong afterwards when he was proven wrong), this is why he had to offer a choice of his own work of either the wall or hitchhikers, the band chose the wall,
this is why he was seen as controlling, because these great albums were his babies and he wanted his vision of the songs to be used. , this is why waters was seen as the leader and frontman of pink floyd, but the guitarist gilmour wanted his music to be more prominent than the lyrics.
gilmour has just as much ego as waters, this is proven when after waters left, gilmour turned the band into a band that had the lead guitar and himself as the central piece (not a bad thing), masons pet name for this era of floyd as the republic of gilmour for good reason.
AMLOR was originally a album without much done by mason and wright, except for live performances, until gilmour realises that it needed to sound more like a floyd album, so he did a remix a long time later with mason and wright performing on the album more, (he admitted this in an interview).
the arguements were brought on by gilmours ego as well, when two brilliant geniuses who are experts in differing ways work together, there will always be arguements and problems, many bands have gone this way.
i am not anti gilmour, i believe all members are worthy but i am sick of the waters hate and misinformation that goes around by the gilmour fans, pink floyd are a band,
wright was contributing nothing to the band except his playing, even then only just, he was on a drug binge and not showing up for recording sessions and even went overseas one time on a cocaine binge when he was supposed to be in the studio, gilmour had to go over and get him back, wright has said in an interview that it was his choice to leave and mason has said it was more of a bands decision rather than just a waters decision.
waters was a bit controlling those days(as such geniuses are), but gilmour has been the prick nowadays, waters was a founder of pink floyd, he wrote most of their songs and without him they would not be the same, but gilmour wont let anything by him go on the pink floyd website, yet others with less influence on pink floyd, can go on it. it is gilmours choice to ignore waters contributions to this great band.
You would enjoy the entire PULSE concert from 94…..amazing performance, just amazing!!
The progression of chords in the verses is so interesting and unusual...also like the shift of lead vocals--Gilmour for most of it, then Waters ("Got to admit that I'm a little bit confused, sometimes it seems to me, as if I'm just being used...")
i love Laurie. She is great and pretty
I had this on 8 track in 1978. Drivin my 69 Beetle with the leaky sunroof. Good times
Please could you react to "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd and if you do react to this genius track you must have the accompanying video that goes with this track you'll appreciate it much more.plus I'm so pleased you like Pink Floyd as I have been a Floyd fan since the 60s and there is simply no one to touch them in my opinion.🇬🇧👍🤗🤗🤗
Part of the Pink Floyd album Animals (1977) fitting into the Orwellian concept of comparing human behavior to various animals. Studio recordings for this project were made at Britannia Row, London. A facility built by the group after their 1975 album Wish You Were Here was released. Thanks for sharing - liked.
Sheep is great too this is my favorite Floyd album. And I'm a huge Floyd fan I like their whole catalog.
Saw this tour in quad arena sound. Band wearing headphones. Animal balloons floating overhead. So yeah, that happened. I always thought this recording was more a shorthand between them, about Orwell and Animal Farm. For me it never quite stuck the landing like Dark Side, Wish, or The Wall did.
Thanks for your reaction video.This is my favorite song off of the Animals album. I've seen Pink Floyd and Roger Waters in concert. Pink Floyd had a higher budget show with special effects but Roger Waters concert was amazing without all the special effects. Roger will perform songs off the Animals album like Dogs where Pink Floyd won't. I highly recommend seeing Roger Waters in concert!
The whole Animals album is amazing, it has some of Gilmour's most aggressive guitar playing. I think you might enjoy some of Mike Oldfield's music too, try Tubular Bells Part 1 then Part 2 followed by Ommadawn Part 1 and Part 2.
at 6:07: One of my favorite guitar solos, ever!
a very nice and an in depth i enjoyed watching you enjoy the song and performance hope you make many more but just a small remark try to work on the audio please it can be adjusted to sound better thanks
Good Reaction, Sweetie. I Just Found your channel. I'm a former Rock Singer. Headphones are a MUST!!!! RUSH & Pink Floyd will Change your Life! I'm in SC now, but Rocked in FLA during the 80-90s! I can give you bands to do, that will ADD to your Subs & Likes!!!
This song needs good headphones. Lyrics are wonderful
Pink Floyd songs are amazing on their own but masterpiece level when you listen to the albums in their entirety.
I recomend Pink Floyd - Cirrus Minor.
Better still....:"Green Is the Colour", or my favourite, "Cymbaline"
Better still....:"Green Is the Colour", or my favourite, "Cymbaline"
I saw Roger Waters live in this performance just look Us + them Santiago Chile on UA-cam blow your mind
Multi cam look that
With the new remixing and, above all, the new remastering it could become the highest octane album by them ! ps: excluding TDSOTM obviously ;-)
Pink Floyd é pura genialidade!
Roger Waters is something else imo, creating most of this shit wrote almost all of Pink floyds lyrics. David is also the voice and guitar iconic
That drop is class Pink
I would love to see you react to "A Great Day for Freedom" from Gilmour's live in Gdansk recorded in 2006. Thanks.
now sheep 😎
I'm not sure how he does it, but David Gilmour captures the exact emotion of the lyrics in his guitar playing. He's quite amazing.
I have iheen this 1977 in Dortmund.
Gilmore's guitar puts that permanent stink face on ya.
Pink Floyd Can be compared to "The Beatles". A day in the life, or I am the walrus, would be a great place to start, even Admiral Halsey/ Uncle Albert Which would be contemporary with Pink Floyds early hits.
Roger Waters is touring next mouth in the USA he will definitely do this and no doubt meany more of wonderful Pink Floyd song please get a ticket and see him live. It’s well worth it
To fully appreciate the Animals album, it helps to know the historical context of what Britain was going through in the late 1970s.
In 1976, the United Kingdom was swimming in troubled waters. Mired in an unprecedented economic crisis, Anglo-Saxon pride is flayed by a rescue of the F.M.I. Musically too the country is lagging behind, having succumbed to the disco wave, and it is ABBA a Swedish band that outrageously dominates the podium of the charts.
But that is nothing compared to the tornado that is about to sweep over the British establishment. The punk movement, this new protest movement from the United States, will permanently shock a part of British society by rebelling against the archaic values that rule it. Titles like: (Anarchy in the U.K) sum up all punk thought, they all cultivate, besides this hatred of the system, that of their elders (rock bands) whom they consider finished and good to throw away. With Pink Floyd at the head of the gondola, which sabotaged the true values of rock and its three chords by making it too intellectual and sophisticated. To the point of finding Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols) walking down Carnaby Street flanked by an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt.
Wounded in his increasingly voluminous pride, Roger Waters decides to deliver his philosophical point of view about the new world order. The Animals album will be a social critique inspired by a work published in 1945, "The Animal Farm" by George Orwell, also author of the book "1984".
The In The Flesh tour that followed in 1977 was also famous for the Montreal concert where Waters spit in the face of a spectator, which led him to want to erect a wall between the stage and the audience: the birth of The Wall album.
Good on you for staying with it the mistake of First time listening to PF is trying grasp the meaning of PF by plucking a track off a concept albums they don't do tracks of individual songs the whole album must be listened in order to comprehend the meaning it's deep deep Through
Hello! we are a kids family band from New Zealand and we do a lot of classic rock covers.. We hope you might like to see a Pink Floyd one we have done of 'Hey You' by Pink Floyd. We reckon it’s a really cool Pink Floyd song! Thanks :)
A good choice at a time when Pigs and Dogs are once again more active doing their lousy job in the world.
doooooh
Absolutely love your Pink Floyd reactions, always look forward to seeing more. Lead guitarist and vocalist, David Gilmour has released several solo albums, would love to know what you you think of his song, "On An Island". This live version featuring David Crosby and Graham Nash is sublime... ua-cam.com/video/kEa__0wtIRo/v-deo.html
Anthrmorphizing ie giving animals human traits I used to think that spitting at the fan was at a cooling fan to see where the spit went, HI WATT are great amps also used by The Who.
you should also do pigs (3 different ones), it's a awesome ride
check out atrack by David Gilmore called ''There's No Way Out Of Here'' off his solo album, you may also enjoy Rogers solo works '' Radio Kaos..., The Pros n Cons Of Hitch Hiking and Amused to Death... go girl..., lovin your reactions ''oooh'' you may also like Rick Wrights solo album ( floyds piano & organist ans song smith ) called Wet Dream..
Cant wait for my Robert palmer duet request
4:15 my same reaction, every time. this solo never gets old
This is the best album IMO, that Pink Floyd ever came out with. Pigs, (3 different Ones), is my favorite track then Sheep and Dogs.
Whatever you do, don't sit in a room filled with black lights and posters drinking and smoking weed while on LSD listening to these guys because drugs are not good for you.
truth
Yet another young person’s confirmation by the look on her face ,of the fact that most of today’s music really does suck. Cannot compare to the masterful beauty of Pink Floyd
Anthropomorphism is attributing human-like characteristics to animals (or plants, etc.).
Ya just cant go wrong with PF
I've always got headphones on but this sounds like coming from a tin can
yeah.... ''Animals'' kinda grabs ya by the boo boo and don't let go huh....
I truly enjoy your quest for information and ideas. That said, while listening to this reaction I admittedly checked out your expansive list of channels you have and noticed I could offer you 3 new music orientated channels to enjoy if you ever find yourself bored. Peace/JT
1. DOVYDAS, a talented musician that doesn't know much music. Here is the most recent song he up-loaded that he pulled out of his derriere. ua-cam.com/video/YwLIyfxL6Oc/v-deo.html
2. The Kiffness , It seams as though this guy hears music everywhere. I got hooked the first time I heard his Techno Horse,

3. Puddles Pity Party. I'd be surprised if you haven't heard of him yet but just in case. Where to start with him? Here's him respecting OZZY ua-cam.com/video/h0wp0cLdqTs/v-deo.html
This befits most conflicts the world has ever witnessed. If you follow the history of international involvement since 2008 to the present day conflict in Ukraine this album has all the lies and rethoric imposed on the Ukrainian people wrapped up both in the lyrics and the music. One of these days the world powers will "isolate a winner" regardless of the political outcome on the Battlefield of a country "who was dragged down by the stone".
