@@DaveThomson I think YOU are having a momentary lapse of reason 🤣 - both of those albums were pale shadows of the former glory that was Pink Floyd by that time. To each their own though 🤷♂️
Animals is concept album about the different types of people in society. Dogs, pigs, sheep etc.. another Pink Floyd album that's best to listen to from beginning to end in one session. Same for The Wall.
Animals is probably my favorite pink Floyd album, it feels like from the very beginning they grab you by your shirt and just pull you in. You don't have a choice, you're just along for the ride.
It's not so much about different types of people as it is about institutions and the people who run them. Dogs= capitalism, businessmen; Pigs - government, politicians: and Sheep - religion.
💯 Gilmour never needed to showboat because he's a master who serves the music. If you don't shed a tear when he comes in at the end of Pigs and plays just one note over and over to begin with your heart is made of stone, stone, stone, stone...
Dogs, in the way I see it, are people that have had it rough in life and had to fight and scrap to make it in society, and thus take up occupations that hurt or destroy others because it’s the only way they know how to survive.
Little known fact: When the band went to take the photo of the floating pig at the factory for the album cover,as soon as they took the photo,the pig shaped balloon broke free and floated away into Heathrow Airport airspace. After one particular pilot radioed to control tower to report a 40 ft. flying pink pig,upon landing he was immediately taken and tested for alcohol or drugs. It wasn't until later they found out about what happened and the pilot was released. True story. Man,what I would give to hear the recording of that particular radio transmission!😂😂
In fact, on the first day they had hired a sniper, but the shots did not go well, on the second day they did not hire the sniper and the balloon just flew off.
The whole Animals album is based on the book Animal Farm. The pigs are the rich people and the greedy business people at the top, the dogs are the middle level people stabbing each other in the back and the sheep are the ones everyone screws over. So they have a song Dogs, Pigs, and Sheep. You should listen to the whole album since it is ahead of its time. All about the 1% and big companies screwing their workers and regular people
Some of David Gilmour's best guitar work! The "call and response" section of his solo gives me chills every single time! He literally speaks through his instrument!
I think the sound you asked about is a theremin. It might just be keyboard with a pitch shift effect on it. And I don’t know what definition you were reading, but the “malaise” he’s using means “a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or uneasiness whose exact cause is difficult to identify.” Animals is a brilliant album. Not a bad song on it. More Floyd plz. Never let anybody tell you you aren’t one bad motorscooter. Love.
That's Rick Wright on the keyboards. The "barking" is another synthesizer trick where someone is sweeping and pounding on the black keys of the Rhodes on the low end while someone messes with the filters on a synthesizer. I don't think they used any captured sound samples on this album. Everything is performed on instruments.
That would be cool if it was, but according to WIKIpedia.... "The middle section, in a slow, metronomic 6/4 time, is built upon several layers of synthesizers, sustaining the four chords of the main theme, with the sound of dogs barking processed through a vocoder and played as an instrument. (One dog moan is excerpted from the group's earlier recording "Seamus".) Gilmour's last word, "stone", echoes slowly for many measures, gradually becoming distorted and losing its human character, before fading out (it reappears later in the instrumental section of "Sheep"). There are no guitars in this section. Gradually, a synthesizer solo emerges, and as it reaches its climax, the acoustic guitar returns, at the original tempo, once again lively and syncopated. "
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are incomparable, there is no point trying to compare them to each other, or to any other band in the history of ever. They are both right at the top of the pinnacle, side by side. And they are miles above everything else. Facts.
This album came out when I was 16 years old. from the first time I heard It till today, It's the single greatest artistic expression of music I've ever heard. Period. End of story... you can think what you want, but you'll never change my mind.
Okay, so this story comes from George Orwell’s Allegory work, called Animal Farm. Breaks down like this. PIGS= The Man. DOGS= Shady Businessmen. SHEEP= The Meek Masses. ❤️
Gilmores guitar on this is sublime. No one bends notes like him. To the songs motif, his solos are meant to make you feel like your drowning and he pulls it off in a master class. Another cool fact, all the dog sounds are coming from Richards keyboard
“Dogs,” originally entitled “You’ve Gotta Be Crazy,” began as a sprawling jam that was turned into a multi-part suite about the sadness that occurs from trying to find your place in the world and getting stuck up in the race of the day to day life. Thematically, the song connives people in life who are symbolized as dogs. “Dogs,” over 17 minutes in length, is one of the band’s longest uninterrupted songs; a tour de force that requires multiple listens to truly appreciate its majesty, following “Echoes” and “Atom Heart Mother.”
I am so, so, SO thankful I was born in the 60's and grew up with a family that listened to real music. This my friend is my favorite from PF. Thank you for the upload!
“they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.” ― George Orwell, Animal Farm
The fourth kind that is mentioned is “pigs on the wing” that is people that break the mold, and think for themselves. The album was loosely a soundtrack to the book “Animal Farm” by George Orwell…. Reimagined by Pink Floyd.
This is my all time favorite band. For me, Pink Floyd is the best that is. Just my opinion. I’m sure many people have their separate opinions and favorites, but this is mine.
To me, the best part of Animals is the guitar sounding like the animal of the song. Listen to his choice of distortion and how he chooses to present it. Amazing.
I listened to and enjoyed Pink Floyd from the early 70ies. As a young man in the NAVY. I attended a Pink Floyd Concert in 1976, My ears rang for three days after that blissful event. Later on in life I read somewhere that this particular concert was in the Gunnies Book of World records as the loudest open air concert to date. I've attended at least fifteen Floyd concerts all around the world. No two the same. One of the Greats of my era
I was at this concert Anaheim stadium ca in 1977 it was like 100 degrees and when we found seats on the grass field the people by us said it was their 3rd day there and its going to start raining as they came up from under the ground and it did.. I didnt have to be high but of course I was LSD ty stick angel dust...pigs dogs sheep floating all over the stadium in the sky and the music shot across the stadium from speaker to speaker . I can't even describe the intensity Best concert ever.
The band was also at a very stressed point in their career when they made it. A lot of in fighting,even bassist Roger Waters spitting on an audience member during this tour,which led to their following concept album,The Wall,which became the story of his self isolation and a nervous breakdown. When you get around to it,Listen to The Wall in it's entirety in one sitting. Then watch the movie of the same name. It'll take you on a wild journey. I promise you that.
I would say that the best definition of malaise in the context of this song is "a mental or emotional fog, either bringing about difficulty in critical thinking or stunted emotional levels" As for The Wall, its probably the album that most needs to be listened to in one sitting and in chronological order. Its a story through music and listening to random songs is like reading random chapters of a book out of order.
yeah i've often mused over that lyric ( and many others ) the first time i heard it i actually felt a presence i've yet to put into words , i love Floyd but still listen to Syds two albums over and over and still have more fun with his lyrics .
Although the albums Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of The Moon, and The Wall are great works and far better known. This album is their greatest beginning to end. IMHO
Pink Floyd is a whole other animal...pun intended!😁 I was lucky enough to have seen them several times! Some of the best concerts ever! Please react to Pink Floyd "Sheep" 💯🔥🖤🎼🤘
It’s a concept album of some of the different types of people- like all Pink Floyd it’s best to listen to the entire album, the music flows and just makes sense.
Nathan before me nailed it. I'll just add that the "Dogs" represent the people that do the biding of the rich and powerful, the Dogs do the dirty work. The "Pigs" are the rich and powerful, politicians, Big Tech, and Billionaires for the most part. The "Sheep" are the regular folks like you and me, just trying to get along and do the best we can. I know Led Zeppelin is your favorite Rock band, and they have a special place in Rock & Roll history, that is for sure. I also love LZ, I've seen them twice, Jimmy Page is one of favorite guitarists, (I'm a weekend warrior guitarist, lol), but there is no other band like Pink Floyd. Their body of music is unparalleled in Progressive Rock, they ARE the GOAT in Progressive Rock history! And as much as I love Jimmy Page's guitar work, David Gilmour is on another level all together when talking feel and emotion in his playing of the guitar. No one makes a guitar sing, and cry like Gilmour. One last note about these two bands, they are, and have been, for years and years fighting for sole position of 2nd place for most albums sold worldwide in R&R History. They are both currently around 350 to 400 million units sold worldwide, and that fight no doubt will continues for years and years as more and more young people, like yourself, hear their music and enjoy it! I think 2nd place is the highest position either band could attain, when you consider the 1st place band is currently at 800 million albums ww, and counting!,........ that of course would be the Beatles. Anyway dude, you are fun to watch, and you're smart, unlike some other reactors out there. lol. Hey man, if you want to see and heard a smackin' dope song performed live by PK, check out,... "Sorrow" from the 1994 Pulse concert, remastered in 2019,...you'll enjoy it. I'd love to see/hear you react to it, I tried to put the link here but it didn't take. You'll be able to find it if you want t, it's all over UA-cam. (I'm old and sometimes struggle with tech stuff, LOL, stay young my friend!)
Listening to Pink Floyd one song at a time is like reading a single chapter of a novel out of context. You need to do a "drive to work" of Animals. And don't even try to do "The Wall" in segments. That is a single thought spread over 90 minutes. I remember my days in architecture school, listening to "The Wall" as we worked, then having to take a break to collect ourselves. Powerful stuff.
The Wall is a true story.....Pink is in reality Roger Waters, his father really did die during the war before he was born and the rest is self explanatory, his first failed marriage, the difficulty of being a musician and ultimately questioning his own sanity.
Hi Van, great reaction! "Dogs" is on their album "Animals." Inspiration from George Orwell's book "Animal Farm." Animals is Roger Waters' serious look at British society at the time, and the people in power. David Gilmour really makes his guitar talk. You would love his song "On An Island" from 2006; also Pink Floyd's "Echoes" live at Pompeii, 1971, parts 1 and 2. Also looking forward to you doing "Wish You Were Here" album if you can. You're going to hear a lot more awesome tracks ("the food is ready") in this rabbit hole. Look at the picture; that's the Battersea Power Plant and there's a pig floating in between the towers; play on words from old saying "When pigs fly!" "Malaise" means illness/discomfort/fatigue. Thanks, Van!
Alot of great bands from Britain, all inspired by American artists like Buddy Holly, Elvis and the great bluesman. Great bands from America as well, including Aerosmith, The Beach Boys, Van Halen, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Guns n Roses, Journey, Heart, Ted Nugent and many more.
I agree 100%. Although, there are some American bands that are my faves also, most British bands were influenced by the Mississippi Delta Blues from America. The best rock and roll bands, as a whole, are from England. The Beatles Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Yes The Who The Rolling Stones The Kinks Queen Black Sabbath and the list goes on and on and on.....
Dude, I'm sure by now have have seen the Pulxe concert!! If not, do not wait....it is a must!! Best concert ever in the history of R&R. Or any genre for that matter!!
I say motor scooter!! Well, I certainly used to..LLLOOLL!! For real, I did. And great analogy too, by the way, of the roast dinner. I does speak of dogs, striking, for the "easy meat", thier meal. So, yeah. But hey, I'm getting old, too. I'm 52, I bet you're somewhere around that. It's okay, we can't stop it no matter what, and every single body has to do the same. It sux but I'm glad I was here.
"IS THIS A TRUE STORY". Yes and no. Its true in the sense there are people like this out there and the song Pigs is aimed at certain prominent people of the day. No, no one in particular.
Wish you had been with us in the ‘70s to experience the music and the shows in real time (in an illegal state of mind). Every Floyd album you thought, “well that’s it, you can’t top that.” Then the next one would come out. This was the album right before the Wall
Appreciate what you do! "Dogs" is one of my favorite Pink it's songs, and I applaud you for giving a 20 minute song a listen from start to finish🙌. I know a lot of people keep mentioning "Echoes" and I agree it's one y9u should get to. Listening to that song is the only way I used to be able to fall asleep. For the The Wall, yes it's best listened to as an album in full, as everyone else has said... but if there is a song that stands most easily alone, I would say that is "Hey You"...but then you might as well slide right into the next three tracks and finish with "Comfortably Numb" and it would only be 20:10 in total time😂😂😂
Really can't say too much about this tune that already has been said. Pink Floyd was very Cerebral. This is Definitely my Favorite Floyd album of All Time. Love during the song as the Owners (The Pigs) whistling at them to keep the Sheep in line!! That's the structure of Society!! Keep the Sheep Divided for Control and those Dogs that Comply get Rewarded!! Gotta listen to the Entire album as It's Definitely a concept album as Others have previously replied!!
I would strongly recommend listening to "Atom Heart Mother" from the KQED album, and please understand that I'm not suggesting the album called "Atom Heart Mother". It is not the same, but, both are Pink Floyd. The recording I'm referring to is here on UA-cam. I have had the vinyl album since 1973. It, in its entirety, are my all time favourite Pink Floyd songs. If you like real spaces out. Atom Heart Mother is on this and there are no lyrics, but, the vocals are spectacular, euphoric, mesmerizing, ecstatic. The vocals are by Richard Wright the keyboardist/piano player, writer, and David Gilmore, the guitarist vocalist writer. They sound like to spirits communicating to each other. About 17 minutes long.
Now it's time to listen to Pigs (three different ones) and sheep. This whole album is killer and should be listened to in it's entirety in one sitting. The late great Rick Wright on keyboards was making those incredible sounds. Also, since you mentioned motor scooter you should listen to Bad Motor Scooter from the band Montrose.
Roger aWaters borrowed heavily from George Orwell’s classic novel Animal Farm. The Floyd really dug deep on this one. I’m glad to hear Rick’s synth playing a large part in fashioning the sound. Ive always believed in using acoustic guitars to establish rhythm patterns that an electric just can’t do, as in the way the album starts.The early stones albums used acoustic guitars quite liberally as well. Great pick sir.
Bad Motor Scooter is actually the name of a song by the band Montrose which featured Sammy Hagar on vocals, who went on to replace David Lee Roth in Van Halen.
You'd probably like Coming Back to Life off their Division Bell album. Live from Pulse. It was the first song I ever sent to the Woman who is now my Wife. I'd send her a song to wake up to every single morning to help get Her mind off the crappy day at work She was about to have, and She fell in love with me for it (among other things). Good times:D
Basically everything Pink Floyd made in the 70s was pure gold.
And 80s and 90s
Agreed -- M+DSOTM+WYWH+A+TW is unparalleled in its beauty, funk, inventiveness, incisiveness and emotion (and guitar -)
@George Glass momentary lapse of reason and division bell are excellent
@@DaveThomson I think YOU are having a momentary lapse of reason 🤣 - both of those albums were pale shadows of the former glory that was Pink Floyd by that time. To each their own though 🤷♂️
@@Keti9er I disagree. Division Bell is amazing
Animals is concept album about the different types of people in society. Dogs, pigs, sheep etc.. another Pink Floyd album that's best to listen to from beginning to end in one session. Same for The Wall.
With headphones on, eyes closed, (chemically altered if you want) and turned up to 11.
👆
Animals is probably my favorite pink Floyd album, it feels like from the very beginning they grab you by your shirt and just pull you in. You don't have a choice, you're just along for the ride.
If you read George Orwell's Animal Farm, you will understand it even better.
It's not so much about different types of people as it is about institutions and the people who run them. Dogs= capitalism, businessmen; Pigs - government, politicians: and Sheep - religion.
David Gilmore is a perfect example of "less is more". Especially when you hit the notes like he does. Beautiful...
💯 Gilmour never needed to showboat because he's a master who serves the music. If you don't shed a tear when he comes in at the end of Pigs and plays just one note over and over to begin with your heart is made of stone, stone, stone, stone...
Emotion, and plays what the song needs, not what his own ego needs
Dogs is Businessman , Pigs is politicians and Sheep is peoples .. Animals album
Nope. Dogs are also police, scam artists... people who, according to Roger waters (based on George Orwell) prey on others
Sheep are proletariat.
@@mikemclaughlin3306 And gangs, for today's kids.
Dogs, in the way I see it, are people that have had it rough in life and had to fight and scrap to make it in society, and thus take up occupations that hurt or destroy others because it’s the only way they know how to survive.
Little known fact: When the band went to take the photo of the floating pig at the factory for the album cover,as soon as they took the photo,the pig shaped balloon broke free and floated away into Heathrow Airport airspace. After one particular pilot radioed to control tower to report a 40 ft. flying pink pig,upon landing he was immediately taken and tested for alcohol or drugs. It wasn't until later they found out about what happened and the pilot was released. True story. Man,what I would give to hear the recording of that particular radio transmission!😂😂
True!...the pig is apparently called Archie. When The Simpsons movie opened in London, they flew 'Spiderpig' over Battersea station.
that is a massively known story. it's famous as fuck.
@@CaptainNemo1701 Algie was the pigs name, I believe.
@@bobfenster3690:
Hey, have you heard about this little known and underrated movie called The Shawshank Redemption?
In fact, on the first day they had hired a sniper, but the shots did not go well, on the second day they did not hire the sniper and the balloon just flew off.

The album is a masterpiece. You'd be doing yourself a dis-service by not listening to every cut on the album.
My all time favorite album
Like all of us old Pink Floyd fans... WERE WAITING for you to do ECHOES POMPEII 1971.. EPIC
Ditto
Smoke your favorite, put on the headphones and take that head trip. Pink Floyd always delivers. ❤️.
This came out 44 years ago! Still sounds fresh.
This album is as old as I am. I wish I had been older in 1977 so I could have experienced this and their other classic albums in real time.
@@sarastromseth-troy3323 This was a great year for music. Some phenomenal albums came out in 1977.
Still as relevant today as it was then.
i'm 59 now still listen to all the Floyd every month and have done for just over 40 years.
Some of David Gilmour's best guitar work! The "call and response" section of his solo gives me chills every single time! He literally speaks through his instrument!
That's one of the best part of "Any colour you like"... Funky, groovy, left/right dialog...
I think the sound you asked about is a theremin. It might just be keyboard with a pitch shift effect on it. And I don’t know what definition you were reading, but the “malaise” he’s using means “a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or uneasiness whose exact cause is difficult to identify.”
Animals is a brilliant album. Not a bad song on it. More Floyd plz. Never let anybody tell you you aren’t one bad motorscooter. Love.

This album came out when I was 16
years old. from the first time I heard It
till today, It's the single greatest artistic
expression of music I've ever heard.
Period. End of story... you can think
what you want, but you'll never change
my mind.
All their albums are brilliant but Animals is probably my favorite.
👊🏼
Right there with you
I cannot choose between the 4 masterpieces: DSOTM, Animals, WYWH, & Meddle. The Wall was my least favourite, but still pretty great.
“On the turning away” is one of my favorite songs by pink floyd. Its got good message to it.
Best Floyd album, hands down!!
I spent a good chunk of the summer of 1986 smoking weed and listening to Pink Floyd with the headphones on.
Making you reflect, or setting the mood, so to speak, is what Floyd does best
Okay, so this story comes from George Orwell’s Allegory work, called Animal Farm. Breaks down like this. PIGS= The Man. DOGS= Shady Businessmen. SHEEP= The Meek Masses. ❤️
You wanted to know who says “Bad Motor Scooter.” The rock band 🎸 Montrose did! It’s one of their best songs!!!! Play it!!!!
Gilmores guitar on this is sublime. No one bends notes like him. To the songs motif, his solos are meant to make you feel like your drowning and he pulls it off in a master class. Another cool fact, all the dog sounds are coming from Richards keyboard
Haha thanks, I always wondered how they were able to record the barking sounds.
“Dogs,” originally entitled “You’ve Gotta Be Crazy,” began as a sprawling jam that was turned into a multi-part suite about the sadness that occurs from trying to find your place in the world and getting stuck up in the race of the day to day life.

In my mind Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time; but Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time. That's just the way it is!
I honestly think they might be tied for first since they both are so different. You can’t put zeppelin in front of Floyd but you can tie them
It is based on a true story...everyone's story.
Wish You Were Here: Shine on U Crazy 💎!!
I am so, so, SO thankful I was born in the 60's and grew up with a family that listened to real music. This my friend is my favorite from PF. Thank you for the upload!
Best Floyd Album EVER! Those sounds are mostly from a Moog Synthesizer.
Pink Floyd the greatest band ever in my opinion.
I would suggest "Shine On you Crazy Diamond Parts 1 - 5" there is also a Parts 6-9 too both stellar
“they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm
Every Pink Floyd project is and was epic. Glad you’re all caught up. I grew up on this stuff from back in the 1970s.
Dogs is the predators in business, only looking to get ahead no matter who they have to step on or hurt on the way.
Probably my favorite Pink Floyd song.
This was the Tour I first saw them back in 77 insane show .
Animal is sometimes my favorite PF album. To be listen to from start to end.
The fourth kind that is mentioned is “pigs on the wing” that is people that break the mold, and think for themselves. The album was loosely a soundtrack to the book “Animal Farm” by George Orwell…. Reimagined by Pink Floyd.
I listen to this whole album once or sometimes twice a week it's a beautiful journey
This is my all time favorite band. For me, Pink Floyd is the best that is. Just my opinion. I’m sure many people have their separate opinions and favorites, but this is mine.
This is Floyd! Ever y track ist a masterpiece! 👍 Try " Echoes " live in Pompej!
To me, the best part of Animals is the guitar sounding like the animal of the song. Listen to his choice of distortion and how he chooses to present it. Amazing.
This is one of those songs that you lay back, take in, and realize it's an experience on so many levels, sonically and poetically in particular.
I listened to and enjoyed Pink Floyd from the early 70ies. As a young man in the NAVY. I attended a Pink Floyd Concert in 1976, My ears rang for three days after that blissful event.

Now you have to listen to Sheep from the same album. By far the best song from Animals. You will love it.
My favorite as well. A little shorter, tighter and best guitar by David.
No doubt! My fav as well
I was at this concert Anaheim stadium ca in 1977 it was like 100 degrees and when we found seats on the grass field the people by us said it was their 3rd day there and its going to start raining as they came up from under the ground and it did.. I didnt have to be high but of course I was LSD ty stick angel dust...pigs dogs sheep floating all over the stadium in the sky and the music shot across the stadium from speaker to speaker . I can't even describe the intensity Best concert ever.
The Greatest band ever...& David Gilmour man,The Guitar God 🎸🙏🙏
I remember being a little kid around 4 or 5 and my sisters listening to this album and it is still on of my favorites today...
Pretty intense with those lyrics. Commentary on a lot of business and political types. This might be my favorite guitar solo from Dave Gilmore. Wow!
Music is feelings in the form of sound and the words to the song heightens that feeling. Pink Floyd takes you on that journey in every song.
Yes it is a true story about millions of people.
Floyd speaks to my SOUL. Masters beyond the meaning of the word.
this channel is so good. love listening to you speak.
gospel.
cheers yo
you are very intuitive. glad to have found your channel, brother.
David Gilmour talks with his guitar. Nobody envokes memories and emotions like he does.
I love it. You can tell this song took ahold of him from the time it started. Grabs me every time
Loved the commentary. You might be my favorite host on the tubes. Great job and keep up the great work
Back in the 70’s Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin ruled
and still they do it
I think people say beetles is the best because pink and zep are tied for first but they can’t have 2 winners so they had to choose another band
The band was also at a very stressed point in their career when they made it. A lot of in fighting,even bassist Roger Waters spitting on an audience member during this tour,which led to their following concept album,The Wall,which became the story of his self isolation and a nervous breakdown. When you get around to it,Listen to The Wall in it's entirety in one sitting. Then watch the movie of the same name. It'll take you on a wild journey. I promise you that.
It wasn't the Animals tour that he spit on a fan but the Shine in tour. Thus the line "he was trained not to spit in the fan' came about on this song.
I would say that the best definition of malaise in the context of this song is "a mental or emotional fog, either bringing about difficulty in critical thinking or stunted emotional levels"
As for The Wall, its probably the album that most needs to be listened to in one sitting and in chronological order. Its a story through music and listening to random songs is like reading random chapters of a book out of order.
in my opinion the movie is the way to experience the wall first then the album
yeah i've often mused over that lyric ( and many others ) the first time i heard it i actually felt a presence i've yet to put into words , i love Floyd but still listen to Syds two albums over and over and still have more fun with his lyrics .
Animals, the album this is off of, is my favorite Pink Floyd album of all time
The Wall is really best listened to in order, as it tells a story, much like many of their other albums ^_^
Other than dark side of the moon this is my favorite pink floyd album and one of my favorite PF tracks.
Although the albums Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of The Moon, and The Wall are great works and far better known. This album is their greatest beginning to end. IMHO
Dogs, Pigs, Sheep, pure class!
Pink Floyd is a whole other animal...pun intended!😁
I was lucky enough to have seen them several times! Some of the best concerts ever!
Please react to
Pink Floyd
"Sheep"
💯🔥🖤🎼🤘
Their lyrics are seriously PROFOUND.🧐
It’s a concept album of some of the different types of people- like all Pink Floyd it’s best to listen to the entire album, the music flows and just makes sense.
This had just come out Jespersen Stadium in the rain one of the Best Shows I went to in the 70's. Enjoy
Pink Floyd will definitely take you on a ride they will make you think back to your childhood and the future

I know Led Zeppelin is your favorite Rock band, and they have a special place in Rock & Roll history, that is for sure. I also love LZ, I've seen them twice, Jimmy Page is one of favorite guitarists, (I'm a weekend warrior guitarist, lol), but there is no other band like Pink Floyd. Their body of music is unparalleled in Progressive Rock, they ARE the GOAT in Progressive Rock history!
And as much as I love Jimmy Page's guitar work, David Gilmour is on another level all together when talking feel and emotion in his playing of the guitar. No one makes a guitar sing, and cry like Gilmour.
One last note about these two bands, they are, and have been, for years and years fighting for sole position of 2nd place for most albums sold worldwide in R&R History. They are both currently around 350 to 400 million units sold worldwide, and that fight no doubt will continues for years and years as more and more young people, like yourself, hear their music and enjoy it!
I think 2nd place is the highest position either band could attain, when you consider the 1st place band is currently at 800 million albums ww, and counting!,........ that of course would be the Beatles.
Anyway dude, you are fun to watch, and you're smart, unlike some other reactors out there. lol. Hey man, if you want to see and heard a smackin' dope song performed live by PK, check out,... "Sorrow" from the 1994 Pulse concert, remastered in 2019,...you'll enjoy it.
I'd love to see/hear you react to it, I tried to put the link here but it didn't take. You'll be able to find it if you want t, it's all over UA-cam.
(I'm old and sometimes struggle with tech stuff, LOL, stay young my friend!)
Listening to Pink Floyd one song at a time is like reading a single chapter of a novel out of context. You need to do a "drive to work" of Animals. And don't even try to do "The Wall" in segments. That is a single thought spread over 90 minutes. I remember my days in architecture school, listening to "The Wall" as we worked, then having to take a break to collect ourselves. Powerful stuff.
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album. Dogs is kind of different for David Gilmour and I love it.
I went to the Pink Floyd’s animals concert around 76 or 77 it was a badass concert but in the air they had a big pink pig floating in the air.
A masterpiece!!
Do Mother, young lust or run likes hell from the wall
Not a true story, more about Politicians.
The Wall is a true story.....Pink is in reality Roger Waters, his father really did die during the war before he was born and the rest is self explanatory, his first failed marriage, the difficulty of being a musician and ultimately questioning his own sanity.
Hi Van, great reaction! "Dogs" is on their album "Animals." Inspiration from George Orwell's book "Animal Farm." Animals is Roger Waters' serious look at British society at the time, and the people in power. David Gilmour really makes his guitar talk. You would love his song "On An Island" from 2006; also Pink Floyd's "Echoes" live at Pompeii, 1971, parts 1 and 2. Also looking forward to you doing "Wish You Were Here" album if you can. You're going to hear a lot more awesome tracks ("the food is ready") in this rabbit hole. Look at the picture; that's the Battersea Power Plant and there's a pig floating in between the towers; play on words from old saying "When pigs fly!" "Malaise" means illness/discomfort/fatigue. Thanks, Van!
Part of the dogs is shared with synthesizer going back and forth I see this tour Cleveland Stadium 76 or 77
If u look back at most of the og greats they are all from England
Tiny island! Maybe because they all were forced to take music in school?
Alot of great bands from Britain, all inspired by American artists like Buddy Holly, Elvis and the great bluesman. Great bands from America as well, including Aerosmith, The Beach Boys, Van Halen, Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Guns n Roses, Journey, Heart, Ted Nugent and many more.
I agree 100%.
Although, there are some American bands that are my faves also, most British bands were influenced by the Mississippi Delta Blues from America. The best rock and roll bands, as a whole, are from England.
The Beatles
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Yes
The Who
The Rolling Stones
The Kinks
Queen
Black Sabbath
and the list goes on and on and on.....
@@YoCraps-og4kt that's your opinion. I like them all from both sides of the pond.
Dude, I'm sure by now have have seen the Pulxe concert!! If not, do not wait....it is a must!! Best concert ever in the history of R&R. Or any genre for that matter!!
The sound you hear is a instrument called a pheromone. Pink Floyd used them a lot. Great organists.
You summer story/face had me ROLLIN!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Those were facts as well. 😂😂😂
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album, closely followed by Dark Side Of The Moon!
Stellar song choice bro 👍
Dogs is more like a jamming session and has brilliant audio that obliterate your ears with heavenly sounds.
Great video.
I say motor scooter!! Well, I certainly used to..LLLOOLL!! For real, I did. And great analogy too, by the way, of the roast dinner. I does speak of dogs, striking, for the "easy meat", thier meal. So, yeah. But hey, I'm getting old, too. I'm 52, I bet you're somewhere around that. It's okay, we can't stop it no matter what, and every single body has to do the same. It sux but I'm glad I was here.
This is a masterpiece!
let ur body hear and feel and at one point u start to listen to the words, thats how it was for me..... : )
"IS THIS A TRUE STORY". Yes and no. Its true in the sense there are people like this out there and the song Pigs is aimed at certain prominent people of the day. No, no one in particular.
Wish you had been with us in the ‘70s to experience the music and the shows in real time (in an illegal state of mind). Every Floyd album you thought, “well that’s it, you can’t top that.” Then the next one would come out. This was the album right before the Wall
Appreciate what you do! "Dogs" is one of my favorite Pink it's songs, and I applaud you for giving a 20 minute song a listen from start to finish🙌. I know a lot of people keep mentioning "Echoes" and I agree it's one y9u should get to. Listening to that song is the only way I used to be able to fall asleep.
For the The Wall, yes it's best listened to as an album in full, as everyone else has said... but if there is a song that stands most easily alone, I would say that is "Hey You"...but then you might as well slide right into the next three tracks and finish with "Comfortably Numb" and it would only be 20:10 in total time😂😂😂
Led Zep, Pink Floyd and Queen are my top 3. Any one may be on top on any given day, depending on my mood.
Really can't say too much about this tune that already has been said. Pink Floyd was very Cerebral. This is Definitely my Favorite Floyd album of All Time. Love during the song as the Owners (The Pigs) whistling at them to keep the Sheep in line!! That's the structure of Society!! Keep the Sheep Divided for Control and those Dogs that Comply get Rewarded!! Gotta listen to the Entire album as It's Definitely a concept album as Others have previously replied!!
Dogs is fantastic! The Wall is freakin'crazywild! Love the entire album.
"Babe, the food ready!" Ha love you man.
If this is a nice dinner being served then once you put Pigs and then Sheep with it, you will have a full buffet with dessert!!!
When listening to Pink Floyd it is helpful to have headphones , dim lights and a nice buzz 😂✌️
I would strongly recommend listening to "Atom Heart Mother" from the KQED album, and please understand that I'm not suggesting the album called "Atom Heart Mother". It is not the same, but, both are Pink Floyd. The recording I'm referring to is here on UA-cam. I have had the vinyl album since 1973. It, in its entirety, are my all time favourite Pink Floyd songs. If you like real spaces out. Atom Heart Mother is on this and there are no lyrics, but, the vocals are spectacular, euphoric, mesmerizing, ecstatic. The vocals are by Richard Wright the keyboardist/piano player, writer, and David Gilmore, the guitarist vocalist writer. They sound like to spirits communicating to each other. About 17 minutes long.
This song has the greatest guitar rips in the history of mankind hands down..no one can make a guitar sang like David Gilmore does
Now it's time to listen to Pigs (three different ones) and sheep. This whole album is killer and should be listened to in it's entirety in one sitting. The late great Rick Wright on keyboards was making those incredible sounds. Also, since you mentioned motor scooter you should listen to Bad Motor Scooter from the band Montrose.
Roger aWaters borrowed heavily from George Orwell’s classic novel Animal Farm. The Floyd really dug deep on this one. I’m glad to hear Rick’s synth playing a large part in fashioning the sound. Ive always believed in using acoustic guitars to establish rhythm patterns that an electric just can’t do, as in the way the album starts.The early stones albums used acoustic guitars quite liberally as well. Great pick sir.
excited to see this reaction....this is going to be good.
!!
You know how to listen to them, man. Loved your reaction. Peace.
Bad Motor Scooter is actually the name of a song by the band Montrose which featured Sammy Hagar on vocals, who went on to replace David Lee Roth in Van Halen.
Me, my buddy, 2 fat doobs and this album. One of the best afternoons in memory.
You'd probably like Coming Back to Life off their Division Bell album. Live from Pulse. It was the first song I ever sent to the Woman who is now my Wife. I'd send her a song to wake up to every single morning to help get Her mind off the crappy day at work She was about to have, and She fell in love with me for it (among other things). Good times:D
do you know the acoustic version of "coming back to life"? here´s a link: ua-cam.com/video/Ax-ptO_tVeY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DavidGilmour
