      Gilmour is the master of pentatonic scales in every key. The reason people feel euphoric listening to Pink Floyd is Gilmours minor key playing over major chords. He does this by manipulating the petatonic notes exclusively. It tricks the brain into feeling.

The majority of pink Floyd most acclaimed albums are filled with little songs with a sprinkle of outdated psychedelia

    This song "Wish You Were Here" and "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is about Syb Barret for those who do not know this, he was a former band member and brilliant in his own right. He had a drug problem LSD and they had to break up with him he was replaced by David Gilmour. Sid ended up in the basement of his mothers house and stayed there for years never really got out of the house or spoke to people.
    I saw a documentary where the Pink Floyd members told the story that when they did the first recording of this album that they finally dedicated to Syd . That Syd Barret who they haven't seen or heard from in years, out of nowhere was standing there in the studio without a saying a word just out of the blue just standing there in the mixing room, with a lot of effort they finished their frist performance and recording of the song while he was watching and all the band members where totally broken and teared up by this, and Syd like he came in, he just disappeared without saying anything or acknowledging them. They even ran after him but he was gone. And it was the last time they ever saw him.
    It took the band a long time to get over it and they never recorded that song every again.
    And they decided to dedicate the Album "Wish You Were Here" to Sid Barret their former band member.
    Absolutely heart felt moment in that documentary.

    "someone playing along with a radio recording" is spot on, that is exactly what it is supposed to be :) It's not included in the video you reacted to for some reason, but in the beginning of the song you can actually hear someone going through various radio channels (actual radio channels), before settling on the (not actual) radio channel with the guitar and then playing along to it/"improvising" over it (it's not actually improvised of course, but that's the imagery theyre going for: someone practicing on the guitar and improvising along to something on the radio)

    I love it that you are getting into Floyd.
    The thing about Floyd and the time they thrived in is that the genre, the concept album, was supposed to be listened to from beginning to end (getting up to flip it halfway through).
    Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and even The Final Cut were all meant to be listened to beginning to end..
    The segues were masterpieces in and of themselves.

    You should react to the live version of this from Pulse. This is just a random video someone put to together. You’ll get his vocals a little better if you watch it live. Even if you don’t react, just watch it on your own time. It is phenomenal. Side note- you may have heard him clearing his throat early on. He had been smoking and he had to do that while recording. At the moment he decided to quit because he didn’t want to damage his voice (or health obviously). He wanted it left in the studio version as a reminder to himself. Just small cool story that I thought you might appreciate.

    The personnel of the English rock group Pink Floyd has changed several times. The group was founded in 1965 by Syd Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Roger Waters on bass and vocals, and Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals. Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour would later join the band in January 1968, while Barrett was ousted from the band in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. From the 1970s onwards, they were augmented by additional personnel in the studio and on stage. Following creative tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1981, followed by Waters in 1985. Wright rejoined as a session musician and, later, band member. Mason is the only member to appear on all studio releases.

    As others have mentioned the singing was mainly done by the band members, in this case David Gilmour. They occasionally used guest singers, but it was a rare event. Gilmour (guitar) Roger Waters (bass, synths) Richard Wright (keys) and earlier member Syd Barrett (guitar) sang primary vocals on most songs.
    The wind sounds at the end tail into the next song, hence the abrupt end to the track in this setting. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a seven part track, split into two sections at the start and end of the album, but its well served to be listened to all together. A wonderful, emotional piece.

    The female vocalist was the guest. Generally, David Gilmour, Roger Waters and sometimes Rick Wright are the vocalists. David Gilmour on this song

    Hi Maggie!
    I really like your channel, your positive attitude and high energy are a joy to watch.
    I was a little surprised that you were doing Floyd reactions. After all, Pink Floyd is not for everyone.
    With you being a Professional Opera singer, I’ve noticed you seem to gravitate towards artists that highlight vocals to tell there story. Pink Floyd leans heavily on their music. The lyrics and vocal delivery, while vital, play a secondary role.
    For me, Floyd’s music invokes a deep emotional reaction like nothing else I’ve ever listened to.
    Keep up the good work and good luck with your channel!

    It's hard for me to think of this as simply a musical piece being critiqued rather than the psychic/emotional experience it was when I heard it in when it was released in 1975. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. I was transported. I believe this was one of a number of songs written to or about Syd Barrett, an original member of the band who suffered a mental breakdown and left.

    Female on Gig was an isolated situation for that song. Live they always have harmony singers. You’re hearing David Gilmour out front- and what a tenor he is…right? ❤😊

    One of the occasions Pink Floyd had or used a 'Guest' Vocalist was on the song 'Have a Cigar' and that was Roy Harper who sang that song on the same LP as this song was on, and another occasion you already noted 'great Gig in the Sky' featuring Clare Torry, for the most part either Dave Gilmour or Roger Waters take turns providing the lead vocals.

  • @edwardlongshanks827

    I believe that there has only been two or three lead vocalists on Pink Floyd studio recordings of songs who were not members of the band. That would include Clare Torry on "Great Gig in the Sky" and Roy Harper on "Have a Cigar".
    Otherwise, it was Syd Barrett (until his ouster), David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright who all sang lead vocals on various songs. The only member of the band who did not sing was Nick Mason, the drummer.

    Awesome Maggie!
    For me as a young teen with family issues.. divorce..etc. This song was an abstract of what was lived and going forward into the future. Was like an understanding from Pink Floyd... yeah been there.. done that. Relatable thinking! A little THC helped also..lol
    peace

    Their songs tend to transition into the next one. So, listening to one at a time, makes them sound like it's cut off abruptly.

    There were mainly 3 people singing in Pink Floyd: the 1st lead guitar and official singer until 1968, Syd Barret (who at a certain point was too "out of this world" due to massive use of psychedelic drugs and not, to go on with the group), the 2nd lead guitarist, David Gilmour, who is the guy singing most of their songs and still does now, and the "brain" and bass of the band, Roger Waters, still singing but out from the Pink Floyd since 1985 and has a VERY carachteristic voice.
    So, in the end, 90% or more of the famous songs from them were sang by Gilmour. In The Wall, many instead were sang by Waters.
    Plus a plaetora of corists. The female voice in The Great Gig in the Sky, Clare Torry, was taken for just that specific performance.

    You must do another reaction to this song done live from the Pulse tour. The audio quality is dramatically better, the visual of who is singing and backup vocalists will answer your questions about vocals, and seeing/experiencing Gilmour harmonizing with his guitar in a moving piece that expresses so much emotions shouldn't be missed by any person doing reactions. You do your soul a disservice by missing out on that demonstration of musical and vocal excellence.

    The song Great Gid in the Sky had 3x female vocalists. I believe they used as a singing break for main singer.
    Not known for Pink Floyd to have guest singers

    The female voice on The great gig in the sky is an improvised tune by one of the background singers. I believe she was 63 years old when she did it. David zgilmour sang this song, in memory of former band member Sid Barret.
