Pink Floyd Animals is based on the book Animal Farm --> Pigs Dogs Sheep representing society by George Orwell ---> also famous for the book 1984. While you've got a long way to go yet. And it's all worth it. Cheers.
The thing about Pink Floyd is that in order to get the full depth of any single track you must experience it within the greater tapestry of the entire album. That is to say Dogs is a great track so is sheep and pigs three different ones but until you have the context of the entire album then you've only experienced a portion of it. Gotta listen to the entire albums , everyone ( each album ) is distinctly different and a beast of its own but still you know it's pink floyd as they are in a class all their own. But if you Want chill from pink floyd. Check out. That fat old sun. Or grandchester meadows .
Pink Floyd, like all great groups, were all skilled musicians but together you got that intangible lightning in a bottle of pure magic. I mean for example I love the Division Bell but the classic line up produced at a much higher level that when apart
Highly agreed, of course it’s personal choice but after listening to each album a few hundred times, Animals is just a personal favorite, as well as this song. Dogs became my favorite Floyd song, gripping from beginning to end, like most Floyd masterpieces a trip in its own.
I never thought of Floyd as relaxing. More like intense and mind expanding. They take you on an emotional and mental journey few bands can match. That's why they're one of the most successful bands of all time. Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are the greatest collection of albums in sequence that you'll ever come across. One of a kind, singular, and untouchable. Epic.
I would put Meddle in that sequence also. Then you get (almost) the full picture of the evolution of their music, from experimental and almost self-indulgent, to fully realized art.
Almost 50 years of still not tired of this album. The transitions! I remember the first time hearing this. My brother bought it and gave me a set of head phones. Laughed and said he would see me on the other side. I was absolutely in love with Pink Floyd ever since.
I know this album for 40 years. The lyrics just keep kicking in stronger and stronger the older I get. Dogs must be one of the greatest songs ever written.
Fun fact: when the Floyd were launching this album in 1976, they had a 40 foot across inflatable pig built, and decided to do the photo shoot outside the Battersea Power Station in London. It was a windy day and during the shoot the pig (filled with helium) broke free and disappeared up in the sky. National headlines followed as Heathrow airport's air traffic controllers started getting calls from airline pilots in the vicinity, reporting a giant flying pig thousands of feet up. The RAF were called in but the pig had disappeared without trace. It was later found in a farmer's field 65km south. No such thing as bad publicity!
And they were suposed to have a guy to shoot it down if it broke free but he didnt show up. They were told they couldn't get a permit to do it again so they did it anyway.
My all time favorite album! I know every note, the lyrics to this entire masterpiece! People will be listening to Pink Floyd hundreds of years from now like we do Mozart, Beethoven, etc… they are eternal
I enjoy watching you discover Pink Floyd and cannot help but living vicariously through you in the moment. It's wonderful my friend. Quite focused on the instrumental end of things... and eloquently described. I would highly encourage you to go online to find the lyrics. With many bands, lyrics are not a huge issue, but with Floyd, they are HUGE. With lyrics in hand and a re-listen (or two or ten), you will rediscover this track in a completely different light.Your jaw will drop. As a loooooong-time Pink Floyd fan, ya gotta trust me on this one. The words to this piece are paramount. Well done my friend.
I was a child of the 60's / 70's and can tell you the ultimate trip is to listen to this whole album laying in a sensory depravation tank while high on hash or opium.
I hear what you saying, I’m 37, I did hear bits when I was 24 but it never caught on. I’d say it’s really caught on with me now. I don’t view it as I’ve missed out, I view it as I’m glad I got to listen to them in all of their glory. Think of how many will pass by never even hearing their music at all. Those are the ones I feel for
@@andrewdobson3518 well, I’m glad you’re experiencing it now I wasn’t trying to be snobby. I was just stating that I grew up with this music. This is what I was exposed to it a very young age so it’s set my bar very high and to only seek out the best music, because nothing else would do, not saying I don’t enjoy a very eclectic taste of music because I do but when you start off with the pinnacle of perfection, you tend to compare it to Pink Floyd. There’s only been a few bands that have come close, which is why the name Pinkfloyd and, tool are synonymous. At least with me.
Two bands that never disappoint... Pink Floyd and Tool. This album released when I was a soohmore in high school. Immediately became one of my top 5 albums for life. This album is epically spectacular!
This whole album is excellent. It is the Musical version of George Orwell's Animal Farm. Animal Farm was required reading in school. Had the opportunity to see the animals concert. That big inflatable Pig you see on the album was flown around the stadium at the concert. They also flew it at the Momentary Lapse of Recent concert ✌️ 🤠🏞️🐂
A reading of Franz Kafka's," The Trial" might also give you an angle on this album, as well as George Orwell's, "Animal Farm ". I won't tell you how The Trial ends but you may think of this song if you get there. Slán.
It is so sad that you and other reactors will never really understand Pink Floyd and the stories within their music by listening to albums like Animals, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall piecemeal rather than listening to each album in its entirety in one sitting as they were designed to be experienced. They take you on a journey and weave the stories around you. It’s like reading one chapter out of the middle of a book and missing the whole story.
TBF, these guys are doing this to make a little money to live on...I don't think many people would tune in to watch him ingest the entirety of The Wall in full...it's much better to just listen to it yourself if that's your goal...one long song at a time is about all you can do...or do it like the Virgin Rock channel. She listened to the entire thing, but is releasing her reactions one song at a time...they got to get paid to keep doing this, dude...
@KingFloydX I get it, but you do understand, he needs subs and views or his channel goes away...YT is a "for profit" proposition that takes up a massive amount of the content creators time. No one in their right mind would be a creator for free, unless they were already independently wealthy. He has to get views, and I can tell you, as a fifty year old, forty year Pink Floyd lover, I would not sit and watch him react to the whole album...I would just listen to the album. One song at a time is the best thing he can do for his channel...
I don’t think reactors don’t get it. They must do. I’m sure most if not all come back and listen to the whole thing afterwards. We tell ‘m to often enough :) I’m just glad to see even genZ discovering how great real music used to be and cracking down on the absolute tripe we get these days. Next up: Sibelius, Satie and Fauré. Not Vivaldi, Wagner or Mozart plz
when you realize that the dog barks and the man whistling is none other than Richard creating these sounds on the synth, you begin to ask yourself, did you really hear what you think you heard? A 2nd listen lets you hear Mason's drumming setting the tone and color when before you thought it was Gilmour's guitar dictating it. A few listens into this track and you get Waters' bass play and how groovy and funkadelic it was at times. This song was supposed to be on the Wish You Were Here Album, but pushed back after the meeting with Syd, for it painted too dark a vibe for a tribute to be placed on the same album. They started putting this together in '73 on tour working it out and getting it polished up, maturing it on the road. Along with this track was supposed to be Sheep as well...which I hope you cover next or at least real real soon to keep the vibe from Dogs. When you get to Pigs on the Wing parts I & II...know that friends you have never met are wishing you all the best, and hoping you keep on looking out for Pigs on the Wing.
I feel kinda jealous of people listening to this album for the first time yet I feel so lucky to have known this for 30+ years and still enjoy it as much. This is what timeless sounds like. Untouchable piece of sonic magic.
As I'm sure you know, this is off the album Animals. All the animal sounds on the tracks were created with the musicians instruments. Just another fun thing about Floyd. I grew up listening to this music, it was a wonderful time. Really glad you're getting to know it as well. Enjoy and hello from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA!!!
Don't forget the lyrics. Pink Floyd back then were also delivering strong lyrics about society (and to this day, dogs, pigs and sheeps in this album concept still exist).
Man, watching your reactions is like listening to good music with a friend. I feel you're enjoying the music just by looking at you. thanks for what you are doing here.
Happy you liked Dogs. One of the many masterpieces of Pink Floyd. Make sure you check out all the live versions of their songs. Pink Floyd was always above all others. Live they put their art into heaven.
75 yo lady who's seen THE Pink Floyd,... Roger Waters & Dave Gilmour (together &/or separately 25+ times... and the Floyd has Never Done NUTHIN' That couldn't be re-produced LIVE in front of thousands of peeps hanging on EVERY Note!
Pink Floyd are their OWN genre!!! and You DON"T rush Pink Floyd !!! If you want more "CHILL" from Pink Floyd, then check out: "Pillow Of Winds" a totally different vibe of CHILL!
The 1st Pink Floyd that I have listened to. That an Uncle of mine who passed by me while listening to this album and said hearing all those sound of dogs & Pigs.... do you really understand that kind of music? hahahaha
Great reaction! I’m a new subscriber. Your interruptions, though necessary to prevent from being yanked, were very well timed. So glad you enjoyed it as much as I did when first released in the mid 70’s. Phenomenal. Greatest band ever.
The floating pig. I remember, as a preteen in 1977, riding with my parents on the expressway past Milwaukee's (former) County Stadium and seeing _that pig_ floating above the stadium, Pink Floyd was playing that night. A major regret is, I didn't see the concert, I didn't even know who Pink Floyd was yet, but I found them on the radio shortly after, loved them ever since.
- PIG!!!... - "I just noticed like a pig... flying in this, uh, album cover..."! LOL :D - Oh man, there's a major story behind that pig! So, it's off to The Googles for you :) ...
"Gilmour Galore". I like it!! May borrow that. The songs on "Animals" give us a mirror to look at ourselves. Whether you are the bad business man (Dogs), a politician (Pigs), or a simple plebe (Sheep). It is thinking person's music.
This timeless music will stay with you for the rest of your life. Get your head around that! But most of all, enjoy it as often as you can. One thing: it will never lose its value. It is like gold.
David’s guitar can speak a 1000 words with just a note. Truly one of the greatest. The guitar playing just speaks to your soul. Another great reaction Mr. chop-maestro. Enjoyed this one a lot !! Request you to react to Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree (LIVE ONLY) , whenever you get the chance. 😊
I just did the ultimate Pink Floyd experience and went to Battersea power station. Its now a shopping complex and housing but still holds its special past. One of the 4 chimneys is a lift and you can go up top to view London. Anyway i touched the bricks and purchased a souvenir pig. Love Pink Floyd with a passion.
Thanks, Sevismo.. this is stunning, right? So thoughtful and terrifying at the same time...David's guitar and Richard's keys... the dogs are barking/howling... so awesome...
Yeah!!!! thank you so much for reviewing this. The solo around the 9 minute mark is my favorite from David Gilmore of all time. Just imagine playing this live in front of an arena. Chills!! This song hold a special place in my heart. Keep up the great work Choppy!!
For me, the fabulous thing they did with this song was David Gilmour singing the first part in the third person talking about Dogs in general and then in the second part Roger Waters sing as the Dog himself all in the same musical framework
I don't know what music from the 20th century will continue to be heard in the future, but I have no doubt that Pink Floyd will always be among the ALL-time classics. People will listen to it like today we listen to Mozart or Vivaldi.
Exactly what I say all the time and I feel so bad for some people but never listen to it because they don’t think it’s in the genre of music. There is no genre when it comes to a masterpiece.
@@Cheesesteak70-d1v I was a youngster who almost only listened to classical music in the 70s. I was hardly interested in other types of music. Until I heard Pink Floyd one night camping. It was almost like a revelation, and I knew at that moment that Pink Floyd would be with me for the rest of my life. With them I opened my ears to new types of music, but I never found anything comparable. Each album is a journey, an experience that changes as I get older, I always discover new things in them, new meanings, new paths to explore within myself, because Pink Floyd has the amazing ability to make me reflect on things that are always important.
@@taranvainas I thought the same way, but I like the other Prog rock bands as well like yes an Genesis there is a lot of great music in the 90s. It was a bit of revival of Prog just heavier with more influences . And I was introduced to tool and I had that same feeling again .. again they are much heavier but they are absolutely brilliant in the song writing the premise and their musicianship is surpassed by none . if you haven’t listen to them and don’t believe just me and look at all the quotes for all the Pink Floyd reactions, and so many say the same thing. Try parable ,parabola he will start off in zen and end in 🤯
@@Cheesesteak70-d1v I know other bands, but I only like some of them. That does not happen to me with Pink Floyd. I like EVERYTHING of them. Because in addition to being extraordinary musicians, they are also very notable intellectuals, aware of the most sensitive fibers of the human being and of the society in which we live, aware of our fears, our insecurities, our failures and complexes. I have lost one of my best friends, he was a philosophy teacher and used Pink Floyd in his classes. Today every time I listen to them (especially "The Wall") I feel like he is sitting next to me.
This is my favourite Floyd song, there is many amazing songs to choose from because they are the greatest band that ever was and will ever be, but in my opinion this or maybe Echos or maybe comfortably numb at the pulse concert, who knows haha
Чувак, сколько раз не смотрел бы это видео с тобой, но твоя реакция и твои эмоции на эту музыку здесь... просто бесценны!! Ты - классный!! / Dude, no matter how many times I would not watch this video with you, but your reaction and your emotions to this music are here... simply priceless!! You're cool!!
After my brothers funeral ( died at 47 ,)we sat on floor and did Wish you were here . All sobbing surrounded by ROCK Love. TH ANK YOU THANK YOU PINK Floyd love , peace n RESPECT. XXXX He had his guitar in his coffin. RIP DREW xxxx
why do i watch reaction videos on floyd, when ive got most of their albums.. i watch hip hop fans reacting, old folks reacting and heavy metal heads reactions..i guess its because of you mate and all ive mentioned.... its like a kinship of feelings, a confirmation of a love of mine..music lovers love music....its honest...cheers sevsimo
Приятель, Pink Floyd - это та группа, которую нужно слушать не отдельными песнями, а целыми альбомами... с первой и до последней песни!! / Dude, Pink Floyd is the kind of band that needs to be listened to not by individual songs, but by whole albums... from the first to the last song!!
Pink Floyd is really a reality of their own. Their tone, keys they pay in, their seemless transitions. There has always been something they did to me that I have never really been able to articulate.
sevsimo, at some point you have to EXPERIENCE an ENTIRE ALBUM. Floyd's albums are CONCEPT albums, ROCK OPERAS. Each track segues into the next to tell a story. ✌️
taking me back Brother, to when I fisrt heard this stuff as a lad, learning to play music.. These are great HEADPHONE albums.. play the album on headphones start to finish, and lay back..
I was 13 when that record came out, and it's still in heavy rotation at my house. Absolutely immortal, with just hints of what was to come in The Wall. Never, ever gets old.
I've always felt there was an orchestral nature to a lot of their music, it goes through movements. This is a great example of it as well as 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond' that you've already experienced. The term mind trip comes to mind, just close your eyes, which you did instinctively. Loving your reactions, keep it up.
I like what you say: "I've always felt there was an orchestral nature to a lot of their music, it goes through movements". My late father, who was a great lover of classical music and opera, sometimes listened to Pink Floyd with me. Of all the music his four children listened to (from disco to progressive rock), Pink Floyd was his favorite band. He admired the complex orchestration of their music, which was not repetitive like so many others, especially in disco music. He particularly appreciated the multiple transitions, which he found sometimes surprising, but oh so well arranged, like the movements in classical music. I often think of him when I listen to Pink Floyd, that is to say very often.
@@thepragmatic6383 Thank you for your kind words. I turned 70 on Tuesday and I've played in several rock and blues bands but I've also been a huge fan of classical music almost my entire life. Thanks again
@@alancrofoot This reminds me of the year I picked my dad's name for the Christmas gift exchange. On his list of gift suggestions, my father asked for a specific orchestration of Rossini's "Barber of Seville". As I couldn't find this album in time for Christmas at any of the local record stores, and it was only available by special order, I had given him a double cover of an old album, on which I had made a collage of photos of combs, scissors, razors and other hairdressing instruments, adding various titles and subtitles corresponding to the various parts of the album that he wanted. As he unwrapped this makeshift gift, my dad laughed heartily, knowing all the work I had done so that he had something to unwrap on that Christmas evening, waiting for the real gift which was only to arrive a few weeks later. This was many years before Amazon and UPS. When he passed away, while I was helping my mother sort through my late father's belongings, I was surprised to find among his record collection, this (homemade) album that I had given him for this Christmas. My mother and I looked at each other, then smiled as we remembered his so communicative "joie de vivre". He had kept it all these years, and placed it next to the real version with Maria Callas and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
They don’t make music like this anymore sir. I was only 2 years old in’77 when this came out. Didn’t discover Floyd ‘til ‘93. “Just another sad old man of dying of cancer.” Shakes me ‘til this day.
You smelling your candle reminded me my past days when I was working and living in a music studio in one of the largest cities of the world and our gatherings there at the nights. At one night, we were about a dozen people having a chat in a circle seating order, and there was an apparatus, you light a small candle and it heats an aromatic liquid on top. I took it, smelled it, passed it to my left; next person took it, smelled it and passed it to left, and next person, then next person, and it came back to me, I smelled it, passed it to my left, I don't remember how long we have smelled that candle or what we were talking about but I have a great nostalgia for it. We were most probably listening Pink Floyd at the time again, since we were listening it for day and night.
That album cover is the Battersea Power Station of London, check it out online, that building exists, and when I visited London (I'm from Milan, Italy) I specifically went to see its grandiosity. It's a HUGE building and made a very eerie impression on me :)
Two you HAVE GOT TO LISTEN TO…..Comfortably Numb, live on the Pulse tour…best guitar solo bar none and the studio version of Great Gig in the Sky. Listen to that cold, no research until after you listened. I promise you won’t be disappointed with either, promise
Thanks for your great review of "Dogs" - which is one of my favorites on the Animals album, which is also one of my favorite albums of all time. The pig picture in the cover is something that the band would float over the audience during live shows since that album - and it's a cool song on that album. I really like the song "Sheep" with its Fender Rhodes electric piano introduction and its spooky waves of sound - and a brilliant line "wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into a dream"...
Animals is loosely based on the book Animal farm. Each song represents an animal taking over in society. Dogs are middle management, pigs are the ruling class, and sheep are us common folk. Pink Floyd was second to none in doing cocept albums. I would say Gilmour is a god that shines on this album but that would sell him short on all of their other albums.
As a teen, it was the music. As an adult after 29 years on this earth, it’s definitely the lyrics. It’s an odd sense of nostalgia I get listening to this, again. It’s like I’m reacting to it all over again with you.
Just imagine, for those of us that grew up in that era, the anticipation when a new Pink Floyd album was about to be released. You have no idea how lucky you are to have virtually the entire history of their music just a click away. While it amazes me how many have never heard their music, I really enjoy watching the reaction to those hearing them for the first time. I often wonder if I had the same expression when I touched needle to the virgin vinyl. PS:What's the candle scent?
Pink floyd. The masters of album making. You could argue they made 4 of the best albums ever. Animals. Dark side. Wish you were here and of course The Wall. 😎
It doesn’t feel right calling this a ‘song’…it’s much more than that. For me, this work of art (especially the last 3 minutes) expresses more emotion (angst) than just about anything else. I feel this track more than I hear it. Thanks for sharing your reactions.
I love how you react physically to music, one can see you truly feel the music and experience it with both your mind and body. Pink Floyd does that to me too. 🙌
Snap 😊 this is my fav 👌 Animals as an album is also my fav..... Great reaction dude when you started laughing in basic audio shock I laughed along with ya 😉
Hi, I am 52 and as a french guy I grown up surrounded by Pink Floyds music thanks to my dad. I have to say it is so pleasant to see a 30 years fela old fela reacting to his first PF experiment! I kinda envy you because I hardly imagine what effect it'd produce to me if I was discovering it for the first time. it is like having a friend coming to visit you when you live in a very nice place. you're used to it and consider it as "ok" but your friend is just stuned by its beauty you've forgotten by habits. anyway, my senses still makes me feel this music as exceptional and theretheless just "obvious". Yes it seams so obvious to me. I need every months as a minimum to make a Pink Floyd time... Now I hardly recomand you to look for the history of the band. this will explain you their inspiration and meanings of their lyrics and melodies. this doc from BBC is quite good on this topic. May be you should continue to react on several tracks and then look at this doc. (ua-cam.com/video/202wWg4QAss/v-deo.html) then, you''l listen again to some songs and you'll appreciate then totally differently ;) I suggest "Wish you were here" as a next step or older if you want "Money". Have a nice Pink Floyd experiment and keep opening your mind. Ciao
My favorite song by Pink Floyd and not just because im a dog its just incredible work the lyrics are just on another level! The whole Animals album is💯🐕🦺

You can't go wrong when comes to Pink Floyd. Fact!💥
It's easy to get overwhelmed by Gilmour's exceptional guitar playing, but for me, Richard Wright is an absolute genius on the keys. RIP, brother
Indeed. Rich was the backbone of Floyd
Pink Floyd, like all great groups, were all skilled musicians but together you got that intangible lightning in a bottle of pure magic. I mean for example I love the Division Bell but the classic line up produced at a much higher level that when apart
RWW was the soul of PF
Absolutely. Without Rick Wright, Floyd is not Floyd. Have we done Shine On You Crazy Diamond yet here? Coz, really...
RW was the glue that held PF together.

Calling him "the pig" is a bit impersonal. His name was "Algie", and he proved that pigs COULD fly.
And they were suposed to have a guy to shoot it down if it broke free but he didnt show up. They were told they couldn't get a permit to do it again so they did it anyway.
@@skipwilliam5639 He wasn't an "it". He was a pig called Algie.
I’m man, what a GREAT anecdote!
They had cows on Time Square NYC for Atom Heart Mother.... or was that idea abandoned?
One of the greatest instrumental 'break outs' in rock history as far as I'm concerned. I'm still mesmerized by it to this day.

It is the Musical version of George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Animal Farm was required reading in school.
Had the opportunity to see the animals concert.
That big inflatable Pig you see on the album was flown around the stadium at the concert.
They also flew it at the Momentary Lapse of Recent concert
✌️ 🤠🏞️🐂
I would recommend you listen to this album from beginning to end.
You certainly don't want to miss context for following chapters.
🤠🏞️🐂
A reading of Franz Kafka's," The Trial" might also give you an angle on this album, as well as George Orwell's, "Animal Farm ". I won't tell you how The Trial ends but you may think of this song if you get there. Slán.
It is so sad that you and other reactors will never really understand Pink Floyd and the stories within their music by listening to albums like Animals, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall piecemeal rather than listening to each album in its entirety in one sitting as they were designed to be experienced. They take you on a journey and weave the stories around you. It’s like reading one chapter out of the middle of a book and missing the whole story.
TBF, these guys are doing this to make a little money to live on...I don't think many people would tune in to watch him ingest the entirety of The Wall in full...it's much better to just listen to it yourself if that's your goal...one long song at a time is about all you can do...or do it like the Virgin Rock channel. She listened to the entire thing, but is releasing her reactions one song at a time...they got to get paid to keep doing this, dude...
@KingFloydX I get it, but you do understand, he needs subs and views or his channel goes away...YT is a "for profit" proposition that takes up a massive amount of the content creators time. No one in their right mind would be a creator for free, unless they were already independently wealthy. He has to get views, and I can tell you, as a fifty year old, forty year Pink Floyd lover, I would not sit and watch him react to the whole album...I would just listen to the album. One song at a time is the best thing he can do for his channel...
I don’t think reactors don’t get it. They must do. I’m sure most if not all come back and listen to the whole thing afterwards. We tell ‘m to often enough :)
I’m just glad to see even genZ discovering how great real music used to be and cracking down on the absolute tripe we get these days. Next up: Sibelius, Satie and Fauré. Not Vivaldi, Wagner or Mozart plz
Blame CD's and the skip option. Ever since then bands have stopped putting albums as a journey together.
Then suggest to him to listen to those albums in full
You know the one thing I love about Pink Floyd? EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything.
All right, sir. You're gonna have fun with this album. PS love the beard. That shit is smack, brother! ✌🏼❤🇺🇸
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others
This is easily my favorite Floyd Track
when you realize that the dog barks and the man whistling is none other than Richard creating these sounds on the synth, you begin to ask yourself, did you really hear what you think you heard? A 2nd listen lets you hear Mason's drumming setting the tone and color when before you thought it was Gilmour's guitar dictating it. A few listens into this track and you get Waters' bass play and how groovy and funkadelic it was at times.
This song was supposed to be on the Wish You Were Here Album, but pushed back after the meeting with Syd, for it painted too dark a vibe for a tribute to be placed on the same album. They started putting this together in '73 on tour working it out and getting it polished up, maturing it on the road. Along with this track was supposed to be Sheep as well...which I hope you cover next or at least real real soon to keep the vibe from Dogs.
When you get to Pigs on the Wing parts I & II...know that friends you have never met are wishing you all the best, and hoping you keep on looking out for Pigs on the Wing.
❤
Also when you realize that Gilmour is playing the bassline and not Waters!
I feel kinda jealous of people listening to this album for the first time yet I feel so lucky to have known this for 30+ years and still enjoy it as much. This is what timeless sounds like. Untouchable piece of sonic magic.
Agreed
As I'm sure you know, this is off the album Animals. All the animal sounds on the tracks were created with the musicians instruments. Just another fun thing about Floyd. I grew up listening to this music, it was a wonderful time. Really glad you're getting to know it as well. Enjoy and hello from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA!!!
Don't forget the lyrics. Pink Floyd back then were also delivering strong lyrics about society (and to this day, dogs, pigs and sheeps in this album concept still exist).
Man, watching your reactions is like listening to good music with a friend. I feel you're enjoying the music just by looking at you. thanks for what you are doing here.
Happy you liked Dogs. One of the many masterpieces of Pink Floyd. Make sure you check out all the live versions of their songs. Pink Floyd was always above all others. Live they put their art into heaven.
Pink Floyd’s greatness is in the studio. Non Grateful Dead live recordings generally suck anyway.
75 yo lady who's seen THE Pink Floyd,... Roger Waters & Dave Gilmour (together &/or separately 25+ times... and the Floyd has Never Done NUTHIN' That couldn't be re-produced LIVE in front of thousands of peeps hanging on EVERY Note!
Pink Floyd, easily one of the most creative and best bands of all time
Pink Floyd are their OWN genre!!! and You DON"T rush Pink Floyd !!! If you want more "CHILL" from Pink Floyd, then check out: "Pillow Of Winds" a totally different vibe of CHILL!
It's not à song
It'a a expérience
It's a emotion
It's a perfection
It's a masterpiece
IT'S DOGS OF PINK FLOYD
My favorite song, for ever
The 1st Pink Floyd that I have listened to. That an Uncle of mine who passed by me while listening to this album and said hearing all those sound of dogs & Pigs.... do you really understand that kind of music? hahahaha
Great reaction! I’m a new subscriber. Your interruptions, though necessary to prevent from being yanked, were very well timed. So glad you enjoyed it as much as I did when first released in the mid 70’s. Phenomenal. Greatest band ever.
The floating pig. I remember, as a preteen in 1977, riding with my parents on the expressway past Milwaukee's (former) County Stadium and seeing _that pig_ floating above the stadium, Pink Floyd was playing that night. A major regret is, I didn't see the concert, I didn't even know who Pink Floyd was yet, but I found them on the radio shortly after, loved them ever since.
- PIG!!!...
- "I just noticed like a pig... flying in this, uh, album cover..."! LOL :D
- Oh man, there's a major story behind that pig! So, it's off to The Googles for you :) ...
"Gilmour Galore". I like it!! May borrow that.
The songs on "Animals" give us a mirror to look at ourselves. Whether you are the bad business man (Dogs), a politician (Pigs), or a simple plebe (Sheep). It is thinking person's music.
This timeless music will stay with you for the rest of your life. Get your head around that! But most of all, enjoy it as often as you can. One thing: it will never lose its value. It is like gold.
Floyd is phenomenal I’ve been listening since the 70’s. Saw them once nothing like it. Great reaction.
David’s guitar can speak a 1000 words with just a note. Truly one of the greatest. The guitar playing just speaks to your soul.
Another great reaction Mr. chop-maestro. Enjoyed this one a lot !!
Request you to react to Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree (LIVE ONLY) , whenever you get the chance. 😊
This WHOLE ALBUM is a MUST LISTEN THROUGH.... UNBELIEVABLE...M
I just did the ultimate Pink Floyd experience and went to Battersea power station. Its now a shopping complex and housing but still holds its special past. One of the 4 chimneys is a lift and you can go up top to view London. Anyway i touched the bricks and purchased a souvenir pig. Love Pink Floyd with a passion.
Thanks, Sevismo.. this is stunning, right? So thoughtful and terrifying at the same time...David's guitar and Richard's keys... the dogs are barking/howling... so awesome...
Hello all you wonderful choppy droppers..I love that you're going down the classic choppy rabbit hole of old school rock and roll ✌️🤘
best band of all times 😎👍
Dude, Gilmour's Guitar is Hypnotizing!!! You GET it!!!
Animals for the WIN....BEST ALBUM....LOVE IT..!!!
No word to describe this magic and master piece of music. Its sublime. Nice reaction
Yeah!!!! thank you so much for reviewing this. The solo around the 9 minute mark is my favorite from David Gilmore of all time. Just imagine playing this live in front of an arena. Chills!! This song hold a special place in my heart. Keep up the great work Choppy!!
I saw the tour to support this album in 1977. Best show I have ever seen.
Big floating pig above the crowd??
For me, the fabulous thing they did with this song was David Gilmour singing the first part in the third person talking about Dogs in general and then in the second part Roger Waters sing as the Dog himself all in the same musical framework
I don't know what music from the 20th century will continue to be heard in the future, but I have no doubt that Pink Floyd will always be among the ALL-time classics. People will listen to it like today we listen to Mozart or Vivaldi.
Exactly what I say all the time and I feel so bad for some people but never listen to it because they don’t think it’s in the genre of music. There is no genre when it comes to a masterpiece.
It’s OK you can say it’s your favorite. It’s definitely been mine since 1977.
@@Cheesesteak70-d1v I was a youngster who almost only listened to classical music in the 70s. I was hardly interested in other types of music. Until I heard Pink Floyd one night camping. It was almost like a revelation, and I knew at that moment that Pink Floyd would be with me for the rest of my life. With them I opened my ears to new types of music, but I never found anything comparable. Each album is a journey, an experience that changes as I get older, I always discover new things in them, new meanings, new paths to explore within myself, because Pink Floyd has the amazing ability to make me reflect on things that are always important.
@@taranvainas I thought the same way, but I like the other Prog rock bands as well like yes an Genesis there is a lot of great music in the 90s. It was a bit of revival of Prog just heavier with more influences . And I was introduced to tool and I had that same feeling again .. again they are much heavier but they are absolutely brilliant in the song writing the premise and their musicianship is surpassed by none . if you haven’t listen to them and don’t believe just me and look at all the quotes for all the Pink Floyd reactions, and so many say the same thing. Try parable ,parabola he will start off in zen and end in 🤯
@@Cheesesteak70-d1v I know other bands, but I only like some of them. That does not happen to me with Pink Floyd. I like EVERYTHING of them. Because in addition to being extraordinary musicians, they are also very notable intellectuals, aware of the most sensitive fibers of the human being and of the society in which we live, aware of our fears, our insecurities, our failures and complexes. I have lost one of my best friends, he was a philosophy teacher and used Pink Floyd in his classes. Today every time I listen to them (especially "The Wall") I feel like he is sitting next to me.
My exact reaction when I first heard Gilmours solo
This is my favourite Floyd song, there is many amazing songs to choose from because they are the greatest band that ever was and will ever be, but in my opinion this or maybe Echos or maybe comfortably numb at the pulse concert, who knows haha
Another Pink Floyd masterpiece.
Чувак, сколько раз не смотрел бы это видео с тобой, но твоя реакция и твои эмоции на эту музыку здесь... просто бесценны!! Ты - классный!! / Dude, no matter how many times I would not watch this video with you, but your reaction and your emotions to this music are here... simply priceless!! You're cool!!
You noticed the flying pig, and looked right passed the sheep lying on its back. That's life, for ya.
Floyd always manage to take you on a journey.....and the ear candy is a bonus !!!
After my brothers funeral ( died at 47 ,)we sat on floor and did Wish you were here . All sobbing surrounded by ROCK Love. TH ANK YOU THANK YOU PINK Floyd love , peace n RESPECT. XXXX
He had his guitar in his coffin. RIP DREW xxxx
why do i watch reaction videos on floyd, when ive got most of their albums.. i watch hip hop fans reacting, old folks reacting and heavy metal heads reactions..i guess its because of you mate and all ive mentioned.... its like a kinship of feelings, a confirmation of a love of mine..music lovers love music....its honest...cheers sevsimo
Coffee, the smell of an aromatic candle and Pink Floyd. Proof you don't need drugs to get high.
Love it!! Gotta get to SORROW from their 1994 Pulse concert. My favorite live performance, by anyone.
Приятель, Pink Floyd - это та группа, которую нужно слушать не отдельными песнями, а целыми альбомами... с первой и до последней песни!! / Dude, Pink Floyd is the kind of band that needs to be listened to not by individual songs, but by whole albums... from the first to the last song!!
I feel like I'm at a Floyd show waiting for it to start.
Really glad to see how young people enjoy Pink Floyd, as we did many years ago. This is becoming in classic music.
Pink Floyd is really a reality of their own. Their tone, keys they pay in, their seemless transitions. There has always been something they did to me that I have never really been able to articulate.
sevsimo, I have every one of DAVID GILMORE's guitar bends, sustained notes, and chord changes in grained in my brain. ✌️
"Gilmour Galore" is the BEST Description I've Ever heard!!! Well Done! Enjoy the Rest of this Album, WITH Lyrics Next!!!!
The social critics in the lyrics are poetry
sevsimo, at some point you have to EXPERIENCE an ENTIRE ALBUM. Floyd's albums are CONCEPT albums, ROCK OPERAS. Each track segues into the next to tell a story. ✌️
taking me back Brother, to when I fisrt heard this stuff as a lad, learning to play music..
These are great HEADPHONE albums.. play the album on headphones start to finish, and lay back..
I was 13 when that record came out, and it's still in heavy rotation at my house. Absolutely immortal, with just hints of what was to come in The Wall. Never, ever gets old.
I've always felt there was an orchestral nature to a lot of their music, it goes through movements. This is a great example of it as well as 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond' that you've already experienced. The term mind trip comes to mind, just close your eyes, which you did instinctively. Loving your reactions, keep it up.
I like what you say: "I've always felt there was an orchestral nature to a lot of their music, it goes through movements".
My late father, who was a great lover of classical music and opera, sometimes listened to Pink Floyd with me.
Of all the music his four children listened to (from disco to progressive rock), Pink Floyd was his favorite band.
He admired the complex orchestration of their music, which was not repetitive like so many others, especially in disco music.
He particularly appreciated the multiple transitions, which he found sometimes surprising, but oh so well arranged, like the movements in classical music.
I often think of him when I listen to Pink Floyd, that is to say very often.
@@thepragmatic6383 Thank you for your kind words. I turned 70 on Tuesday and I've played in several rock and blues bands but I've also been a huge fan of classical music almost my entire life. Thanks again
@@alancrofoot This reminds me of the year I picked my dad's name for the Christmas gift exchange.
On his list of gift suggestions, my father asked for a specific orchestration of Rossini's "Barber of Seville".
As I couldn't find this album in time for Christmas at any of the local record stores, and it was only available by special order, I had given him a double cover of an old album, on which I had made a collage of photos of combs, scissors, razors and other hairdressing instruments, adding various titles and subtitles corresponding to the various parts of the album that he wanted.
As he unwrapped this makeshift gift, my dad laughed heartily, knowing all the work I had done so that he had something to unwrap on that Christmas evening, waiting for the real gift which was only to arrive a few weeks later. This was many years before Amazon and UPS.
When he passed away, while I was helping my mother sort through my late father's belongings, I was surprised to find among his record collection, this (homemade) album that I had given him for this Christmas. My mother and I looked at each other, then smiled as we remembered his so communicative "joie de vivre".
He had kept it all these years, and placed it next to the real version with Maria Callas and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Roger and Pink Floyd didn't write this , expecting it to get on the radio that's for sure . They play 3 and 4min long songs on them
They don’t make music like this anymore sir. I was only 2 years old in’77 when this came out. Didn’t discover Floyd ‘til ‘93. “Just another sad old man of dying of cancer.” Shakes me ‘til this day.
I love it when people hear dogs for the first time😎
Pink Floyd....the masters of sonicspheres.
You smelling your candle reminded me my past days when I was working and living in a music studio in one of the largest cities of the world and our gatherings there at the nights. At one night, we were about a dozen people having a chat in a circle seating order, and there was an apparatus, you light a small candle and it heats an aromatic liquid on top. I took it, smelled it, passed it to my left; next person took it, smelled it and passed it to left, and next person, then next person, and it came back to me, I smelled it, passed it to my left, I don't remember how long we have smelled that candle or what we were talking about but I have a great nostalgia for it. We were most probably listening Pink Floyd at the time again, since we were listening it for day and night.
I love the lyrics of this song. Oh so very deep and truthful.
One of my personal favorites tracks from pinkfloyd is :what do you want from me. From the devision bell album.
Highly recommend checking it out
That album cover is the Battersea Power Station of London, check it out online, that building exists, and when I visited London (I'm from Milan, Italy) I specifically went to see its grandiosity. It's a HUGE building and made a very eerie impression on me :)
Top 10 album of all time for me!!
It' to me is an amazing and one of the most important album s they have made a master iece
Two you HAVE GOT TO LISTEN TO…..Comfortably Numb, live on the Pulse tour…best guitar solo bar none and the studio version of Great Gig in the Sky. Listen to that cold, no research until after you listened. I promise you won’t be disappointed with either, promise
This contains amongst the best and most chilling lyrics of all Pink Floyd tracks. "Who was broken by trained personnel".
Pink Floyd makes you feel like a puppet on strings. They tug you this way and that and just have total control over you during those precious minutes.
Thanks for your great review of "Dogs" - which is one of my favorites on the Animals album, which is also one of my favorite albums of all time. The pig picture in the cover is something that the band would float over the audience during live shows since that album - and it's a cool song on that album. I really like the song "Sheep" with its Fender Rhodes electric piano introduction and its spooky waves of sound - and a brilliant line "wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into a dream"...
I feel very happy for your discovery man. I wish I could hear Pink Floyd for the first time again. You remind me what it was like. Thank you.
Animals is loosely based on the book Animal farm. Each song represents an animal taking over in society. Dogs are middle management, pigs are the ruling class, and sheep are us common folk. Pink Floyd was second to none in doing cocept albums. I would say Gilmour is a god that shines on this album but that would sell him short on all of their other albums.
I was reading that today lol
Their style... Captivating.
Masterclass track.(Perfection. )Gilmoured again. Beautiful reaction as always. A journey of Epicness. Thank you my friend!!!!!
As a teen, it was the music. As an adult after 29 years on this earth, it’s definitely the lyrics. It’s an odd sense of nostalgia I get listening to this, again. It’s like I’m reacting to it all over again with you.
The guitar on this and Poles Apart have got to br some of Gilmour's sweetest notes played.
I very often listen to this album while going to sleep! Fantastic album.
Just imagine, for those of us that grew up in that era, the anticipation when a new Pink Floyd album was about to be released. You have no idea how lucky you are to have virtually the entire history of their music just a click away. While it amazes me how many have never heard their music, I really enjoy watching the reaction to those hearing them for the first time. I often wonder if I had the same expression when I touched needle to the virgin vinyl.
PS:What's the candle scent?
My favourite Pink Floyd album, sick reaction!
Pink floyd. The masters of album making. You could argue they made 4 of the best albums ever. Animals. Dark side. Wish you were here and of course The Wall. 😎
It doesn’t feel right calling this a ‘song’…it’s much more than that. For me, this work of art (especially the last 3 minutes) expresses more emotion (angst) than just about anything else. I feel this track more than I hear it.
Thanks for sharing your reactions.
I love how you react physically to music, one can see you truly feel the music and experience it with both your mind and body. Pink Floyd does that to me too. 🙌
Snap 😊 this is my fav 👌
Animals as an album is also my fav.....
Great reaction dude when you started laughing in basic audio shock I laughed along with ya 😉
Hi, I am 52 and as a french guy I grown up surrounded by Pink Floyds music thanks to my dad. I have to say it is so pleasant to see a 30 years fela old fela reacting to his first PF experiment! I kinda envy you because I hardly imagine what effect it'd produce to me if I was discovering it for the first time. it is like having a friend coming to visit you when you live in a very nice place. you're used to it and consider it as "ok" but your friend is just stuned by its beauty you've forgotten by habits. anyway, my senses still makes me feel this music as exceptional and theretheless just "obvious". Yes it seams so obvious to me. I need every months as a minimum to make a Pink Floyd time...
Now I hardly recomand you to look for the history of the band. this will explain you their inspiration and meanings of their lyrics and melodies. this doc from BBC is quite good on this topic.
May be you should continue to react on several tracks and then look at this doc. (ua-cam.com/video/202wWg4QAss/v-deo.html) then, you''l listen again to some songs and you'll appreciate then totally differently ;)
I suggest "Wish you were here" as a next step or older if you want "Money".
Have a nice Pink Floyd experiment and keep opening your mind.
Ciao
My favorite song by Pink Floyd and not just because im a dog its just incredible work the lyrics are just on another level! The whole Animals album is💯🐕🦺
