@@dmont I guess you didn't know about Pompeii. The prototypical Plinian eruption in 079 A.D. because Pliny the Elder perished there....Mt. St. Helens '80 was another one.

'One of these days' in another song where he loses the drum stick and gets it back and doesn't miss a beat is awesome. I used to watch this all the time in the 90's.
@@jj4325 I don't know how he could do the echoes tour without it. I know I've never seen David perform it without Richard, but Nick has his own band so I don't think he has the same qualms about it as Gilmour.
You young man have been so openly honest,what a joy to watch and listen to your reactions.love from myself ,a 63year old British guy and my family .👍👍👍👍💎💎💎💎
I saw the movie of this concert (well, most of it!) when it first appeared in cinemas around 1972/73. My girlfriend at the time was only 15 and under strict instructions not to be home late, so watching the end of the movie would have meant we missed her last bus, but we pushed it as far as we could and left the cinema only about 5 minutes from the end of the movie and ran all the way to the bus stop. Of course, I've seen it in its entirety a number of times since then, and now I always watch it from beginning to end. That girlfriend has been my wife for the last 42 years, so there's no reason for us to rush outside before the end!
IMHO ... this is the best rock song ever performed. Pink Floyd had the ability to showcase the best master-craft abilities which compliment each other and never step on one another. Each individuals sound is beyond expression but when combined ... your soul is touched by something magical. This is Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd included Waters -- THIS Pink Floyd is all Gilmour and Wright !!! btw, Glimour said he would ONLY perform Echoes with Rick, so Gdansk was the last time David will play it.
If you fast forward about 35 years, you can listen to the same track, in it's integral version. The Live in Gdansk was the last time ever that track was performed Live since Richard Wright (on the keyboards) passed away not long after. It is 25 minutes of pure perfection! Thanks for that reaction!!👍👍👍
I saw them live about six months after this was filmed at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. The movie wasn't out yet, but when it came out I took a 30 mile bus ride to go to the movie theatre that was playing the film. I was sitting about 30 feet from them when they played this. I just couldn't believe the sounds Gilmour was getting out of his guitar. He was just so damn good, even at that age (50 years ago in six days time) There's a very good bootleg here on UA-cam of the show I was at (March 30th). I was younger than this young man hosting the video here. Imagine what that did to me. It changed my life. It's great to see their music still slaying a new generation of fans. Oddly enough I think my generation knew we were lucky. Our whole lives rotated around music. Little wonder.
Yes, saw them live touring dark side of the moon then, too. And two more times after that. Last time was the '94 Pulse tour at a football stadium that sat 90k. Their music will out live us all. Amazing stuff.
@@FrostyCranmer I’m almost embarrassed to say it but sometimes I just skip straight to that part. I know it’s sacrilegious to skip Pink Floyd but the bass just speaks to me.
This reactor guy is spot on about Pink Floyd being always musically relevant. Just like Bach Beethoven and Bach are still getting millions of views hundreds of years after their death so in the future will Pink Floyd
This sound exists solely because of David Gilmour's ability to bend the strings to get the sound and note he is looking for. David Gilmour - Lord Of The Strings. BTW, this is only part 1.
As a teenager in the 70's we transitioned from AM Radio to FM Radio, where there were stations that would play these epic-length songs! We would get high and just get lost in the music. Thank you for sharing your music discovery journey with us. Love your reactions. #suchavibe #Peace
I think this is Pink Floyd at their most self-aware. They knew they were timeless. They saw that realization trigger Syd Barret's complete descent into a madness he'd only had difficulties with previously. That loss triggered greater revelations, I'm sure, But they saw their moment very clearly and this was them singing to an archeological amphitheater that dates to two millennia before. They are performing to the ages, consciously, openly. The sheer gall. Literally heroic music.
I am grateful to be seeing your life change in these Floyd reactions. Much love, you feel like an old friend. Cheers buddy, this makes my whole life better.
This was the second side of their Meddle album and was certainly their " Hold my beer" moment. They followed up w/ Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals AND The Wall, quite a run. . !
You left out Obscured by Clouds which was right after Meddle. Great album as well, wonderful layered sound that paved the way to Dark Side. It's the band without the backup singers, sax solos or sound sampless but with some studio techniques that were developed later for DSOTM.
D. Mont - Until quite recently I did not even know that such a thing as "reaction videos" even existed. I grew up in an era of slide rules and punch cards. We did however have vinyl, reel-to-reel, and other analog recording/playback media. There, I'm now carbon dated. I have (had... wait for it) every PF release available since their collaborative conception, beginning with their first official release 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'. In some cases I have 2-3 copies, particularly the early work, including original vinyl artwork on the internal sleeves. I've read many comments to your reaction videos about you discovering, exploring and ultimately appreciating the true artistry that you have found. In particular, the comments from many of us long time 'Animals' of how refreshing it is to witness someone discover this music for the first time. I absolutely agree, but I would like to add; I sometimes go 3-5 years without immersing myself in their gift to humankind. When I do, and after having accumulated just a few more life experiences, the music is altered slightly in my mind to include those "new" memories. Although the music is the same, it can seem like a first time experience. What these gentlemen did will be remembered for centuries.... My (then) 12 year-old-daughter, who is now on a path to begin her medical research residency, would thumb through my boxes of LP's, sometimes asking questions for hours. I got her a super cheap low fidelity portable turn table, and she never looked back. I gave her my entire collection to enjoy and pass on to future generations that I will never know; with the caveat that it never fall into the hands of a future rogue family crackhead that will pawn it for a bag of blow.... With your willingness to explore such diverse tastes, you have discovered an amazing thing that I'm sure will last a lifetime. There is so much more out there to discover. Enjoy the journey.... As a recommendation; if you ever have an opportunity to listen to some of this music with analog playback, it will absolutely blow your hair back. Digitized playback is good and certainly convenient, but the difference in quality is like the difference between night and day.
Oh thank the gods you went with the live version. This is one of those relatively rare songs where the live version is just something so much more special than the studio.
Am working my way through your reaction video's & find myself coming back to this one often. In my opinion Pink Floyd is the greatest rock band of all time and Echoes is their masterpiece. Rogers Waters built each song the way an architect would build a cathedral. Outstanding & meaningful lyrics, so many levels and no song is rushed. Each song allows time and space to drop into it's meandering journey with each band member beautifully showcased. Even after David's guitar solo's he always turns the song back to the band so the journey can continue. They built in subtleties such as who sings what verses depending if the song called for David's clear & pure tone, Roger with his unique, hollow and sometimes haunting voice and Richard with his raspier tones. David and Richard in particular, bounced off each other so beautifully. Each song IS a wandering experience and it is an honor to live on this crazy rock... barreling through the emptiness of space as the same time as Pink Floyd was creating their art. It is timeless music.
100% right -- Pink Floyd takes the listener on a ride -- innovative, emotive, brilliant music, coupled with profound, relevant, philosophical, timeless lyrics.
Dang, first reaction video I've ever watched and this was great, exactly how I felt when I first heard this. Exactly on point about the video too, way ahead of it's time, and right about how they just went out and showcased their talent. I remember when the Beastie Boys did a sort of tribute to this on Check Your Head, with the video for Gratitude, which was what first turned me on to look for the VHS of this concert back in the day.
Mr D. Mont, I was all smiles watching this video. Pompeii was the first VHS rental I made as a kid and it changed my life. So glad to see other music fans react the same way 🙂❤️🤘
@@MayorGoldieWilson825 tool has been a band thats hard to get into for me. i gotta try it with lsd or something maybe im just not at the capacity for tools music
Hey man bensjamin in Galway Ireland, love your respect towards great music sheep on the album animals by pink Floyd is class , also queen at live aid also led zeppelin in my time of dying off physical graffiti which is a cover off a black American blues lady from the 1930s I can’t remember her name of which I feel rude because led zep are my favourite band of all time and out of respect for her I should know it , keep the videos going, I’m recovering from a brutal cancer surgery lost most of my tongue so my speech is hard and I can’t eat and I was a chef most my life but the reaction videos are sending me healing vibes big time
The video has been blocked since I posted it! I’m glad it finally came out of the dispute process, this was one of my absolute favorite experiences since I’ve been doing reactions
This live show, is from Pompeii. 2000 years ago where Mt Vesuvius wiped out an entire civilization overnight basically and the volcanic ash preserved the dead bodies and turned them to statues almost. So it's like they're performing to the dead "statues" of pompeii. Also, the amphitheater is the colleseum where gladiators used to have their tournaments and even had a famous riot that happened there. Ads to the mystique and deep mind fuckery of how amazing this performance is. Also worth noting this album performance is on Spotify and its definitely worth listening to while fucked up on edibles or LSD
In 2016, David Gilmour came back to Pompeii at the coliseum for a live concert this time with a live audience with his solo band. Some members of his solo band played as part of Pink Floyd. Since, Richard Wright passed away years ago. I think David is still playing. While I don't know if drummer, Nick Mason joining him or retired. Former member and founder of PF, Roger Waters still doing his solo stuff too.
I was incredibly high as a 15 year old while listening to this shit for the first time and it was the best trip of my life. I could physically feel my soul leaving my body as it hit the 7 minute mark. Some crazy shit.
One thing about this particular recording is that you really can't work out which is the most predominant instrument, as all four seem to be upfront and central to the entire experience. All four are assaulting your mind all at once. They all come together in some kind of perfect harmony of pure groove. Even the groove is indefinable as you can't think of anything that ever sounded quite like it, or indeed anything like it. Even more astounding today, as nothing ever has sounded anything like it since.
They were so young! Hard to believe this song is 50 years old, eh? So glad I grew up with them & loved your reaction…don’t know how I missed it. Will see if you did part 2. For something else by them, listen to “Marooned” - the only song they ever won a Grammy award for. Hard to get anyone to react to that! Do the studio’s version, not the video. PS - nothing wrong with crying if that’s the way it moves you! Pink Floyd is an experience that never gets old! ✌🏼🎶🔥
As stated below, the Floyd returned to Pompeii about 35 years after this. I would urge you to look up and read about the ancient city of Pompeii...it only adds to the significance of this performance. I have been to this exact spot...talk about tears of joy and amazement!! The amphitheater they are playing in is over 2000 years old. Let that sink in.
I'm just glad to see other people getting into Pink Floyd. I was lucky growing up, my mom loves them. All my younger years are full of their music, even watched The Wall when i was 4. Of course my mom made me look away in a few parts but sharing that experience with her will be with me until the day I die
Thank you for this. What musicians are doing today is incredible, and I love every minute of it, but I'm so glad that wise reviewers like you are going back to the roots.
I 1st heard Pink Floyd it was in 1977, the sing was Shine on you craze diamond with headphones. From the 1st note I was hooked. 20+ yrs later can't get enough. I've seen twice, 1st time favorite concert , 2nd time, 2nd favorite concert.
Some of the weird parts about listening to Pink Floyd, especially some of Dark Side of the Moon album, is finding yourself weeping and not really knowing why. The combo of the members where they can rip your soul out with a guitar solo, beat it with a tenderizer and then put it back in place and you are wiped out when the song or album is over... and happy about it and after discovering them, you can't shut up about them and must tell all your friends, or give them a,"Dude, YOU HAVE to listen to this". Then the lights go out, and you just listen...
GOAT, yes. No question-they are the best as you accurately said! By the way-yes you can cry-there is no reason why not. PF has a way of drawing out all kinds of emotions-there is no shame in showing it. Completely understandable that you would feel moved to shed a tear. Great reaction!!!
So pleased to watch someone new enjoy pink floyd. I first heard pink floyd when i was fourteen im now 64. the first record i ever bought was dark side of the moon. I put their music on everynight to go to sleep too. Enjoy i wish i could listen to them for the first time like you, ill enjoy the music through you.
I absolutely LOVE that you chose to watch the 1972 Pompeii version of this song, which is spectacular. However, you are really missing out if you don't watch the full version, which is well over 20 minutes long. There is a lot more to the intro that is cut out of this video, and a whole final set that comes back into the song after this. The whole thing end to end is unbelievable. In any case, great work and I love your reaction on this one!
Those few minutes spent watching you before the groove hits was some of the most suspenseful for me in a very long time. It's a mile wide and I knew when it hit your face was gonna melt.
It is awesome to see people from different generations regardless of their genre of choice to feel Floyd’s vibe. They are the GOAT of musical experience.
just imagine my man's reaction if he listens to Seamus from this live performance. Would love to hear his reaction to the guest singer who lays down one of the coolest backing tracks ever.
if he does Saucer and keeps dry eyes,,, I will know he was not really listening. In all my 53 years on this planet,,, i still can not keep dry eyes for Saucer or Atom Heart Mother.... Often Childhoods End and Fearless get my tears....... Yet to see anyone react to Nile Song... lol
@@capuleo1 The Obscured is not same as listening as you recommended to Live at Pompeii, as, I wanna see this guy cry... Seen plenty reactions to both,,, what I was saying is I had not seen anyone react to P.F.'s Nile Song, off album soundtrack to More.. I did find one reaction after I made the first comment to you as I went looking.
Not a tough guy at all lol I’m honestly more sensitive than I’d like to admit, but I digress. I’m actually trying to find a video of the entire Pompeii show so that I can watch it from start to finish, as intended. Hoping I can track one down
I like alot of different music but gotta say when you're in the mood for it Pink Floyd take you to a place no one else can. Ultimately I agree, they are the G.O.A.T🙌
I just love your reaction it makes me feel so happy to hear someone that is my grandchildren age appreciate the greatest music ever done I love ya buddy
Back before decent pa systems were a thing they just had to use walls of amps. Fun fact, loads of bands throughout 80's and 90's used big walls of fake amps just for looks and only 1 would be real which was used as an on stage monitor.
Nice reaction, man. You definitely need to hear the studio version of "Echoes ". It's over 20min but well worth the time. In fact, I love the idea of you reacting to the entire albums. Meddle was their fifth studio album and it preceded Dark Side of the Moon. If any band deserves full album reactions it's certainly Pink Floyd (I'd also throw Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull & Yes in there too) and you really seem to enjoy this great music. Peace & love to you.
Pink Floyd, no lyrics but you hear every word...❤ I got that album off my older brother in 1972, I was 12..😳 and a weird kid thereafter..🤣 I got my first synth when I was 14 because of them...😉 my brother took me to the Empire theatre Liverpool UK, my hometown for my 14th birthday to see them 👍 the Dark Side of the Moon concert 🥰🥰🥰 they blew me away..❤ you would have fitted in no problem with our little crew..😉 Pink Floyd Set list at Empire Theatre, Liverpool, England Tour: British Winter Tour 1974 Empire theatre Liverpool Setlist Sheep (Early version, known as "Raving and Drooling") Dogs (Early version, known as "You Gotta Be Crazy") Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) (Early version) Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX) (Early version) "The Dark Side of the Moon" Speak to Me Breathe On the Run Time Breathe (Reprise) The Great Gig in the Sky Money Us and Them Any Colour You Like Brain Damage Eclipse Encore: Echoes
This was made in 1971 or '72. They played years later @ Pompeii again, but I like this one best. Looking forward to your continuing Pink Floyd journey.
I Have been listening to Pink Floyd for over 50 years. Try some recent concert video from them. Pure artistry. Thank you for joining the club. Enjoy the Journey!!
Absolutely loved the emotion you got when hearing this, It's like you said, this song can bring a tear to a mans eye, it's surreal at times how beautifull of a melody they can make! I think you'll like "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" from the same set at pompeii as well if you haven't heard it already!
Such a genuine respectful reaction to one of the greatest rock songs and performances ever. The vocal is my favourite of all PF songs. The guitar work is my favourite of all PF songs. For a song with similar intensity and build look up Masterdon Hearts Alive (Live) 11mins 38seconds - the one recorded Los Angeles CA - April 2005. It details this at the start of the video. No surprise the rock band are Big PF fans!
SUPER REACTION BRO ! When, I first looked at you, I didn't believed you could be a PINK FLOYD FAN! 😂👍SORRY! I'm a French white man, you're black, and with the kobe Brian's T shirt, MIckael Jordan on the wall, the hat, the gold neckless, I thought I liked rap music! 😂👍I like all styles of music, but, I, finally, was shocked to see how much you understood that music! Like you said, IT'S A TRIP, A TRAVEL! And, the funky part! 😂THAT PART HAS NOTHING TO DO IN THAT PSYCHEDILIC SONG! And, the images of the Roman ruins, and the volcano, are so perfect on that music! And, who's making a live performance, with no audience?!... YOU UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH THAT BAND IS CRAZY! WE ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT, BUT WE LIKE THE SAME KIND OF MUSIC! THAT'S WHY I LOVE SO MUCH MUSIC, IT'S REUNITING THE PEOPLES! 😂👍Listen, to the 2nd part, at the and of Pompeii! PEACE FROM FRANCE BRO! 👍😂✌️🎸🇫🇷
You made the comment about playing in front of the fans live, that was the brilliant works of Floyd, Pompei was leveled by a volcano centuries ago all killed... so technically they are live just no people to watch... how do you not love Floyd's thought process, brilliant I might add..
If you haven't yet, you need to watch part 2 to this masterpiece. Mind blown experience. This is only the halfway point of the song. Also listen to the original studio version from the "Meddle" album, just as good as this version. The original track is just over 23 mins long. And originally took the whole 2nd side of the vinyl lp record.
I'm glad you're happy man,I went to see the whole movie I the mid seventies in Hamilton Scotland and it was unforgettable even to this day. That was an honest cool reaction. Stay safe . HEF 🏴
I must have missed this.....didn't get a notification. This is music in its purist form. Loved your reaction.

Nick is amazing.
echoes - holy fn mackerel
'One of these days' in another song where he loses the drum stick and gets it back and doesn't miss a beat is awesome. I used to watch this all the time in the 90's.
He's not ready for part 2

David Gilmore stated when Richard Wright passed he would never play this song again.
Thankfully Nick Mason is still performing it!

I saw them in '73. The whole show was Dark Dide of the Moon. The encore: Echoes.
Omg. I’m so jealous. What an experience of a lifetime! ❤️
Sadly there is almost no live footage from the 70s

This sound exists solely because of David Gilmour's ability to bend the strings to get the sound and note he is looking for. David Gilmour - Lord Of The Strings. BTW, this is only part 1.
where is part 2? Is better with this beautiful solo guitar.
He not only bends the strings, but he is hending the WILL of the strings lol
That is the perfect nickname for David
He bend the G string almost outside the neck without snapping it.
Water was the brain, Gilmour the heart, Mason the structure and Wright the cement! My take
I love seeing this. People like you will be the reason this music lives on forever. Keep it up!
12:10 - 13:20 some of the most awesome guitaring in rock, that first note he holds out... damn! David Gilmour is such a badass guitarist.
Echoes in Pompei, I get chills every time I listen to it. Sensitivity, space, rhythmics, everything is in its place.

That is true, but this Pompeii version has a power and energy that the studio version lacks. They are both absolutely wonderful in their own right.

Each song allows time and space to drop into it's meandering journey with each band member beautifully showcased. Even after David's guitar solo's he always turns the song back to the band so the journey can continue. They built in subtleties such as who sings what verses depending if the song called for David's clear & pure tone, Roger with his unique, hollow and sometimes haunting voice and Richard with his raspier tones. David and Richard in particular, bounced off each other so beautifully.
Each song IS a wandering experience and it is an honor to live on this crazy rock... barreling through the emptiness of space as the same time as Pink Floyd was creating their art. It is timeless music.
They have been my favorite band since the 70's and I cant get enough.....seen them twice live....I did shed a tear or 2
Man how you describe them gave me chills. So agree. This band is just beyond.
Pink Floyd is an experience...glad you like them.
100% right -- Pink Floyd takes the listener on a ride -- innovative, emotive, brilliant music, coupled with profound, relevant, philosophical, timeless lyrics.
Dang, first reaction video I've ever watched and this was great, exactly how I felt when I first heard this. Exactly on point about the video too, way ahead of it's time, and right about how they just went out and showcased their talent. I remember when the Beastie Boys did a sort of tribute to this on Check Your Head, with the video for Gratitude, which was what first turned me on to look for the VHS of this concert back in the day.
I’m 52. Listened to PF my whole life but didn’t get the genius of this performance until 6 months ago. My God what art..
Go Braves!
Mr D. Mont, I was all smiles watching this video. Pompeii was the first VHS rental I made as a kid and it changed my life. So glad to see other music fans react the same way 🙂❤️🤘
I LOVE that the music moves you this way. That’s why it was created.
It’s hard to beat Pink Floyd in their prime… no one makes music like they did. Creative geniuses.
Agreed 💯
The only modern band that is even close to the same level of genius is Tool.
@@MayorGoldieWilson825 Fuck, I gotta listen to Tool... Everyone says this.
@@Fnelrbnef I don't think you'll regret it
@@MayorGoldieWilson825 tool has been a band thats hard to get into for me. i gotta try it with lsd or something maybe im just not at the capacity for tools music
Hey man bensjamin in Galway Ireland, love your respect towards great music sheep on the album animals by pink Floyd is class , also queen at live aid also led zeppelin in my time of dying off physical graffiti which is a cover off a black American blues lady from the 1930s I can’t remember her name of which I feel rude because led zep are my favourite band of all time and out of respect for her I should know it , keep the videos going, I’m recovering from a brutal cancer surgery lost most of my tongue so my speech is hard and I can’t eat and I was a chef most my life but the reaction videos are sending me healing vibes big time
Insane level talent!! To perform for all of the souls that were lost there, I'm sure they were just as moved as you were.
Great reaction man!
Bro, ya gotta look up the second part of this song!! Part 2
Only just caught this as well. Missed you by 5 months but great reaction to a great performance. Gods talking to gods of the past.
The video has been blocked since I posted it! I’m glad it finally came out of the dispute process, this was one of my absolute favorite experiences since I’ve been doing reactions
@@dmont aaaah that explains it. I've been a Floydian since 1967 and it's wonderful to see a younger generation experiencing the awesome music of PF.
@@dmont Pink Floyd is one of the few bands that can turn sound into emotions. Great reaction.
This live show, is from Pompeii. 2000 years ago where Mt Vesuvius wiped out an entire civilization overnight basically and the volcanic ash preserved the dead bodies and turned them to statues almost. So it's like they're performing to the dead "statues" of pompeii. Also, the amphitheater is the colleseum where gladiators used to have their tournaments and even had a famous riot that happened there. Ads to the mystique and deep mind fuckery of how amazing this performance is. Also worth noting this album performance is on Spotify and its definitely worth listening to while fucked up on edibles or LSD
In 2016, David Gilmour came back to Pompeii at the coliseum for a live concert this time with a live audience with his solo band. Some members of his solo band played as part of Pink Floyd. Since, Richard Wright passed away years ago. I think David is still playing. While I don't know if drummer, Nick Mason joining him or retired. Former member and founder of PF, Roger Waters still doing his solo stuff too.
The more fucked up the better. Any Floyd on a hi end hifi, just lay back and let the magic wash over you
I was incredibly high as a 15 year old while listening to this shit for the first time and it was the best trip of my life. I could physically feel my soul leaving my body as it hit the 7 minute mark. Some crazy shit.
“ I am you and what I see is me” is the best line in this song.
One thing about this particular recording is that you really can't work out which is the most predominant instrument, as all four seem to be upfront and central to the entire experience. All four are assaulting your mind all at once. They all come together in some kind of perfect harmony of pure groove. Even the groove is indefinable as you can't think of anything that ever sounded quite like it, or indeed anything like it. Even more astounding today, as nothing ever has sounded anything like it since.
The groove in the last five minutes of this song goes so hard.
Dude!!! Thanks for sharing this moment! Love how your head bobbing goes harder as the song progresses. ❤❤
They were so young! Hard to believe this song is 50 years old, eh? So glad I grew up with them & loved your reaction…don’t know how I missed it. Will see if you did part 2. For something else by them, listen to “Marooned” - the only song they ever won a Grammy award for. Hard to get anyone to react to that! Do the studio’s version, not the video. PS - nothing wrong with crying if that’s the way it moves you! Pink Floyd is an experience that never gets old! ✌🏼🎶🔥
As stated below, the Floyd returned to Pompeii about 35 years after this.
I would urge you to look up and read about the ancient city of Pompeii...it only adds to the significance of this performance. I have been to this exact spot...talk about tears of joy and amazement!! The amphitheater they are playing in is over 2000 years old. Let that sink in.
there isn't a sink at my door
@@oak1739 😂😂😂
I'm just glad to see other people getting into Pink Floyd. I was lucky growing up, my mom loves them. All my younger years are full of their music, even watched The Wall when i was 4. Of course my mom made me look away in a few parts but sharing that experience with her will be with me until the day I die
Thank you for this. What musicians are doing today is incredible, and I love every minute of it, but I'm so glad that wise reviewers like you are going back to the roots.
Couldn't agree more!
I 1st heard Pink Floyd it was in 1977, the sing was Shine on you craze diamond with headphones. From the 1st note I was hooked. 20+ yrs later can't get enough. I've seen twice, 1st time favorite concert , 2nd time, 2nd favorite concert.
Wait for it…. 🤯 Your about to get mind fkd 🔥
My favorite performance by far!
Awww man… this is out of this world! ❤️🔥 I can’t describe it. It’s beautiful, groovy, heavy, a mixed of emotions.
Some of the weird parts about listening to Pink Floyd, especially some of Dark Side of the Moon album, is finding yourself weeping and not really knowing why. The combo of the members where they can rip your soul out with a guitar solo, beat it with a tenderizer and then put it back in place and you are wiped out when the song or album is over... and happy about it and after discovering them, you can't shut up about them and must tell all your friends, or give them a,"Dude, YOU HAVE to listen to this". Then the lights go out, and you just listen...
GOAT, yes. No question-they are the best as you accurately said! By the way-yes you can cry-there is no reason why not. PF has a way of drawing out all kinds of emotions-there is no shame in showing it. Completely understandable that you would feel moved to shed a tear. Great reaction!!!
@@davidmacfarlane9501 You got it, nice!
So pleased to watch someone new enjoy pink floyd. I first heard pink floyd when i was fourteen im now 64. the first record i ever bought was dark side of the moon. I put their music on everynight to go to sleep too. Enjoy i wish i could listen to them for the first time like you, ill enjoy the music through you.
I absolutely LOVE that you chose to watch the 1972 Pompeii version of this song, which is spectacular. However, you are really missing out if you don't watch the full version, which is well over 20 minutes long. There is a lot more to the intro that is cut out of this video, and a whole final set that comes back into the song after this. The whole thing end to end is unbelievable. In any case, great work and I love your reaction on this one!
Those few minutes spent watching you before the groove hits was some of the most suspenseful for me in a very long time. It's a mile wide and I knew when it hit your face was gonna melt.
It is awesome to see people from different generations regardless of their genre of choice to feel Floyd’s vibe. They are the GOAT of musical experience.
Just chills and goosebumps through this epic performance. A gift from the gods for a brief moment in time! Great reaction brother.
This is what you call an eargasm.
just imagine my man's reaction if he listens to Seamus from this live performance. Would love to hear his reaction to the guest singer who lays down one of the coolest backing tracks ever.
Come on get into "A Saucerful of Secrets" from the same "Live at Pompei" you gonna freak out!!!!
if he does Saucer and keeps dry eyes,,, I will know he was not really listening. In all my 53 years on this planet,,, i still can not keep dry eyes for Saucer or Atom Heart Mother.... Often Childhoods End and Fearless get my tears....... Yet to see anyone react to Nile Song... lol
@@alanmcclure9546 I know someone did react to the full Obscured..Album..got to check again and advise
@@capuleo1 The Obscured is not same as listening as you recommended to Live at Pompeii, as, I wanna see this guy cry... Seen plenty reactions to both,,, what I was saying is I had not seen anyone react to P.F.'s Nile Song, off album soundtrack to More.. I did find one reaction after I made the first comment to you as I went looking.
I just love seeing these Tough Guys break down and cry to something they would never expect to cry to,,,,,,,,,,, 'Music"
Not a tough guy at all lol I’m honestly more sensitive than I’d like to admit, but I digress. I’m actually trying to find a video of the entire Pompeii show so that I can watch it from start to finish, as intended. Hoping I can track one down
I like alot of different music but gotta say when you're in the mood for it Pink Floyd take you to a place no one else can. Ultimately I agree, they are the G.O.A.T🙌
I just love your reaction it makes me feel so happy to hear someone that is my grandchildren age appreciate the greatest music ever done I love ya buddy
With that ENORMOUS stage rig they ran in the old days, listening to them live back in the day was absolutely visceral. It went right through you.
Back before decent pa systems were a thing they just had to use walls of amps. Fun fact, loads of bands throughout 80's and 90's used big walls of fake amps just for looks and only 1 would be real which was used as an on stage monitor.
Nice reaction, man. You definitely need to hear the studio version of "Echoes ". It's over 20min but well worth the time. In fact, I love the idea of you reacting to the entire albums. Meddle was their fifth studio album and it preceded Dark Side of the Moon. If any band deserves full album reactions it's certainly Pink Floyd (I'd also throw Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull & Yes in there too) and you really seem to enjoy this great music. Peace & love to you.
Pink Floyd, no lyrics but you hear every word...❤ I got that album off my older brother in 1972, I was 12..😳 and a weird kid thereafter..🤣 I got my first synth when I was 14 because of them...😉 my brother took me to the Empire theatre Liverpool UK, my hometown for my 14th birthday to see them 👍 the Dark Side of the Moon concert 🥰🥰🥰 they blew me away..❤ you would have fitted in no problem with our little crew..😉 Pink Floyd Set list at Empire Theatre, Liverpool, England

Roger Waters is underrated as a bassist. He carries more than a few of their songs.
one of the best. next to rutherford of genesis
Pink Floyd was 50 years ahead in the form of music during that time 🔥🔥
You're Awesome, because you get it...
When the Floyd go Funk at 11.45, OMG it does not get more stank than that bass!
Yours is by far the best reaction ive seen. You just get it and them!
If you want to hear Floyd that will make you cry, you MUST listen to Great Gig In The Sky. No lyrics, just vocals and pure emotion.
I've been listen to Floyd for 40 years and it never gets old!! Love you reaction!!
I like you, you get it and it is a pleasure to watch you discover the best band in the history of the world.
I love watching your vids. I get to experience the moment when Floyd Changed my life all over again.
This recording is something magical and its hard to find words. Ive loved it for years and years
This was made in 1971 or '72. They played years later @ Pompeii again, but I like this one best. Looking forward to your continuing Pink Floyd journey.
70
I Have been listening to Pink Floyd for over 50 years. Try some recent concert video from them. Pure artistry. Thank you for joining the club. Enjoy the Journey!!
Absolutely loved the emotion you got when hearing this, It's like you said, this song can bring a tear to a mans eye, it's surreal at times how beautifull of a melody they can make!
I think you'll like "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" from the same set at pompeii as well if you haven't heard it already!
It is so nice to see a young person (I have two sons 26 and 28) like music from my teenage years. Floyd is certainly one of the best!
Such a genuine respectful reaction to one of the greatest rock songs and performances ever. The vocal is my favourite of all PF songs. The guitar work is my favourite of all PF songs. For a song with similar intensity and build look up Masterdon Hearts Alive (Live) 11mins 38seconds - the one recorded Los Angeles CA - April 2005. It details this at the start of the video. No surprise the rock band are Big PF fans!
Thank you for the ride brother. Just gets better with time..
SUPER REACTION BRO ! When, I first looked at you, I didn't believed you could be a PINK FLOYD FAN! 😂👍SORRY! I'm a French white man, you're black, and with the kobe Brian's T shirt, MIckael Jordan on the wall, the hat, the gold neckless, I thought I liked rap music! 😂👍I like all styles of music, but, I, finally, was shocked to see how much you understood that music! Like you said, IT'S A TRIP, A TRAVEL! And, the funky part! 😂THAT PART HAS NOTHING TO DO IN THAT PSYCHEDILIC SONG! And, the images of the Roman ruins, and the volcano, are so perfect on that music! And, who's making a live performance, with no audience?!... YOU UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH THAT BAND IS CRAZY! WE ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT, BUT WE LIKE THE SAME KIND OF MUSIC! THAT'S WHY I LOVE SO MUCH MUSIC, IT'S REUNITING THE PEOPLES! 😂👍Listen, to the 2nd part, at the and of Pompeii! PEACE FROM FRANCE BRO! 👍😂✌️🎸🇫🇷
There's good reason why Floyd is one of the all-time best selling bands ever.
Man ... When that first vocal broke in! ... The Smile across your face was priceless 😂😂😂
You have got to listen to High Hopes live at Gdansk. That's one of their masterpices also!
Lol you’re right!! The GOAT ! Pink Floyd created their own category of music 😎💜🥰
this is just amazing... thanks for letting me hear this again
haven't seen you in awhile, I hope you are doing well. I watch all the Pink Floyd reactions, but yours are my favorite.
Great review, this is one of the most incredible videos and music ever made!
The song is 50yrs old ! , I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd ( my fav band ) in 1989 then Roger Waters ( my fav lyricist ) in 2018
You made the comment about playing in front of the fans live, that was the brilliant works of Floyd, Pompei was leveled by a volcano centuries ago all killed... so technically they are live just no people to watch... how do you not love Floyd's thought process, brilliant I might add..
So many different facets to this song. One of the most underrated songs of all time.
What a quality and each song was done in one go live !!!
With the technology of the very early 70s !!!!
If you haven't yet, you need to watch part 2 to this masterpiece. Mind blown experience. This is only the halfway point of the song. Also listen to the original studio version from the "Meddle" album, just as good as this version. The original track is just over 23 mins long. And originally took the whole 2nd side of the vinyl lp record.
great reactions to Floyd!
I'm glad you're happy man,I went to see the whole movie I the mid seventies in Hamilton Scotland and it was unforgettable even to this day. That was an honest cool reaction. Stay safe . HEF 🏴
Love your reaction 🙏🏻 im 57 and this is the soundtrack of my life
