- So we haven't done a Pink Floyd video since the uh... McDonalds video LOL. So I kinda left em alone... but you guys have asked and asked for them. So here we are. And once again, I am a silly goose. This was utterly fantastic.

Great reaction as a 67-year-old that got into Pink Floyd with the Meddle album back in the day keep up the good work and stay safe.
Terence, thank you for that! I truly appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
Ditto this 63 yr old.
One more old lover
Yeah, Meddle was my “entry drug” to Floyd as well 😁
I’m with you at 67 and my grandmother gave me Pink Floyd’s first album Christmas 69 along with CCR. She was so cool and think about her often and especially when I listen to Pink Floyd…which is quite often.
Floyd needs to be listened to by complete albums. Animals is an awesome album. Please please please, start with the 1st track, Dogs.
Roger that. Gotcha 😊
Side One! Pigs on the Wing (short) and the Masterpiece Dogs!
@@jimralston7562 with the lights turned down low, strobe light on, with a fattie....
Absolutely right man. Start to finish.
@@L33ReactsI concur, you'll LOVE Animals.
Pink Floyd is that thing that you never knew you needed
Pink Floyd..... Just in a league of their own!
If you want to see Nick Mason and the rest of the band
Pink Floyd "Echoes (Part 1)" live at Pompeii 1972
No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods!
60 yo dude from Kansas here. It wasn't uncommon to listen to Welcome to the Machine and then play right on into this one. What a one-two punch.
Poignant words at the end and right on man. I think it's natural to deeply regret wasted time and opportunities, but it's nice to think that those things you described have made you uniquely who you are today.
I think sometimes it's easier to appreciate the light after having known the dark.
The only way you truly appreciate the light is if you have traveled in the dark and all that entails. There be monsters... but sometimes that light can be blinding and make you return to the bizarre comfort of the night. It's a strange dichotomy.
Glad you enjoyed my friend. I heard welcome to the machine years ago in High school... this stuff is magic
I always think this album flies under the radar a bit, compared to Dark Side and The Wall, but this is by far my favourite album of theirs. And this track is perfection. Great review, as always, enjoy the journey!
Of all the floyd songs I've heard they are mostly from this album (wish you were here/welcome to the machine) and now this one... it's my favorite so far too :) very dynamic and engaging. So much little stuff going on at once that equals this just punch to the gut (in the best way possible lol)
My feelings about this album pretty much exactly.
Same for me, and from far. It's almost the only PF album I listen regularly.
I think Animals flies under the radar even more so
I really like Animals, but it comes second to WYWH for me. @@alrivers2297
My favorite Floyd song! Headphones on, volume up.
Dark Side has to be listened to in its entirety. I can’t even fathom Great Gig being a first exposure. Context! 😉
You will end up dedicating a day and time for Floyd. Just a hunch.
This was the only song where Roy Harper was a vocalist. His voice is similar to Dave Gilmour's. And the song was based on actual conversations they had with music reps. Good job reviewing. And yeah the animals album has some interesting music and so does the Wall. Is Anybody Out there is thought provoking .
Good luck with your recovery and God Bless you.
I think Roy’s voice sounds a little like Roger Waters. Maybe even a perfect blend between the two.
"We're so happy we can hardly count"...best lyric on the music industry ever!!
Now that you know how hard the drop into this track is, I'm sure you would wish to hear it CRANKED UP to get the EPIC Impact. One of my favs by them, so crunchy, so bombastic. That Guitar.
I want to hear this on a real system just BLASTING. Probably would be even better 😊
So the end of this, the guitar gets sucked into a transistor radio. The person with the radio, changes the station, finds the song with a guitar playing on it. He picks up his guitar and plays over it, starting “Wish you were here. Most Pink Floyd songs blend/mix/run together. Not a one song and move on kind of band. They do albums as an art form, a story in many cases. Nice reaction!
those synths in 75 craZY. THEY WERE AHEAD
It's impossible to pick a favorite Floyd song but this one is my favorite whenever I hear it.
Duuuude I see why. This song had it all. Every floyd hallmark without either of the vocalists singing LOL
Wish You Were Here is my "comfort" Pink Floyd album, the one I go to for no particular reason (other than wanting to listen to some Floyd of course). So I know exactly what's coming! This means seeing someone hear and appreciate it for the first time is like getting some new perspective. Thanks once again.
Great reaction from a musician is always a plus.
Love this band!
My first listen to Pink Floyd was, ‘Echoes’, as a 15 year old in 1971, just after Meddle had been released.
It’s pretty much my favourite piece of Floyd music, but only just, as there’s so many Masterpieces.
Especially, ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘The Wall’. All incredible Concept Albums. So many more great Albums as well as those, but they’re my own personal favourites. Not sure how much you’ve touched on Floyd, but hope you do more. Along with ‘Yes’, they’re my joint all time favourite Bands.
🎶❤️🎶
'Hats off to (Roy) Harper' on vocals! 😉😁
Will be interesting to see what you made of the singer on this track as it was Roy Harper and not one of the band. Roy has never got the exposure that he deserved for his own work mainly because he never sought the fame and fortune and remained an independent artist for most of his career (hating the business machine of the record industry which made him perfect for this track) He has however produced 22 studio albums and some amazing work amongst it (its generally classified as Folk rock but has progressive rock leanings too). Why not give him a try, has great finger style guitar and has also been tagged the British version of Bob Dylan for his songwriting skills which is not a bad comparison to have. I would suggest ‘Same old rock’ from his 1971 album ‘Stormcock’ which has a guest appearance from his friend Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin). Another one worth a listen with some collaborators that you will know is ‘You’ from the 1980 album ‘The unknown soldier’ which has vocals from Kate Bush and guitar contributions from David Gilmour
His son, Nick Harper is also a highly talented musician. Roy Harper also sung the vocals live on Have A Cigar when Pink Floyd played Knebworth
Roy Harper's vocal was essential, above all he has the right kind of *attitude* to fully bring out the irony of the situation in the lyrics - the right swagger in his voice. I think Mick Jagger or Alex Harvey would have done it much the same way, probably Sting too (or Randy Bachman), but neither Roger nor Dave were able to pull that rabbit out of their vocal hats.
He knocked this out of the park. He seemed like a normal part of the band. I know Roger and Dave usually do the vocals but I didn't even notice a difference, that's how well he fit in here! But now on a third listen, you can hear the difference since I'm listening for it lol
Saw Roy live 4x on the uni circuit here in the UK. He was always just brilliant ❤
@@mattleppard1964yeah I saw him a few times in the 80s with his two Ovations, brilliant gigs, he’s so good with the audience
Do what's right. Fill yourself with love, respect and Floyd. 🙏
This track features guest vocalist Roy Harper. His album " The Game" is worth a listen too! The first time I heard this my friends and I were in my dorm room, -and we thought my stereo amplifier blew out.
THANK YOU FOR GETTING THE EPIC-NESS OF THIS TUNE. And the guitar was unique not only the riff, but the way they produced the sound into the slot. I am glad that as a drummer you caught that and more. 1st time on channel. Glad you got this tune in. You can't bucket Floyd. Its a life long journey.
This is one of Roger's songs where he's saying FU to the record company executives.
Favourite band since 1970. A band for all seasons. Stunningly good music that never gets old. Don't worry man. I'm 67 and still loving the music and enjoying a chilled, relaxing life with a bit of weed and a glass of wine. Just enough to take the edge off life's bad shit. I'm a retired environmental scientist and old hippy so I am acutely aware of the bad shit the world flings around. With 4 kids and 3 grandchildren I really hope we can get our act together as a species and stop behaving like kids in the playground. Sometimes all you can do though is stay positive and try to make your bit of the world around you a better place. Lots of love and good vibes from Wales - the land of song. Really enjoy your vids. Have fun.
The guy on the cover of the album was really on fire. Not much photo shop or CGI back then. The stuntmen (Ronnie Rondell and Danny Rogers) were shot by photographer Aubrey “Po” Powell.
Sheep ROCKS dude! Lyrics to their music is IMPORTANT! I think you’ll relate ✌️🤘
What other band has literally mastered sound, sights, artwork, film, live performances and all the different genre's they've successfully covered? I seriously doubt there is one.
THE GOAT. Hope everyone is doing well! I don't know what you have or haven't listened to PF wise, but I highly encourage you to go through their list of masterpieces and pick the ones you haven't listened to for your channel. I know others have suggested listening to the entire album at one time, as PF meant for many of their albums to be heard that way. If you can, maybe one side of an album at a time-if doing an entire album is too time consuming. Just know that some songs, like the one you just heard, transition directly to another song for a particular reason and meaning. Also, there is their live stuff. I might suggest Echoes, live from Pompeii for a start. BRILLIANT.
This song was everywhere at the time.
And yes, you never now what's next
My favorite song on this album. Animals is actually the next album after WYWH. It definitely flows and deserves a full album listen. Might be my favorite PF album.
I'll definitely start from the beginning on Animals if I attempt that one next! Thank you for watching 😊
@@L33Reacts 😊
"Dogs" from Animals is my absolute favorite PF track. "Sheep" is also terrific. For some great deep cuts, check out "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" from their earlier albums.
Meddle. Incredible album.
Pink Floyd "knew what they were doin'" gotta be understatement of the century! You should check out Echoes from Meddle.
The lyrics to this song are must listen for any aspiring musician. My favorite line in the song "We're so happy, we can barely count" (the money.) Also the transition from Welcome To the Machine in to this one is brilliantly done. You really get a sense of of being drawn into some corporate setting and suddenly finding yourself at a party being patronized by some corporate producer, who's clearly full of crap.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
A genre' unto themselves, no other band like them in the world- EVER!
The ending of this song is the intro to Wish you were here…. Well a friend of mine had the album and played this on my stereo and brand new speakers. Well when we got to the ending and the volume drops, he had me believing that the speakers blew! 😮 the joke was on me of course! That’s a fond memory of that time of my life!
Great that you caught the "Which one's Pink?" comment. You obviously "got it' on first listen. One thing I picked up here that I missed before is that it ends with their music playing on the radio. Since it leads into the next song, I hadn't really thought of how it relates to this one. Thanks for this.
Glad you enjoyed edward! I certainly did too. It was so damn entertaining. Love Floyd!!
Saw them do this album live back in the day. Great reaction, thanks!
I just found out there was a guest singer on this song. Two other Floyd songs Big Gig in the Sky. And Hey Hey Rise Up. Ty never knew that. In concert Gilmore sings it. Hence the live version.
The reason that Roy Harper is the vocalist on this is because neither singer in the band was happy with what they were doing. Harper dropped by as he was recording at another place in the studio and hearing they were having some trouble asked if he could give it a try.
The photographer talked about the cover. That guy really is on fire.
Perhaps my favourite Gilmour solo along with Dogs. Also Roy Harper is great on vocals.
"Keep Talking" live from "Pulse" is very interesting. New sub, make it happen dude.
Great stuff, saw them once, in London, I was pretty stoned but I do remember a biplane coming from behind us and crashing through a pretend wall.... Crazy.
Shine on you crazy diamonds! Syd lives ❤
Godspeed you black emperor,,,moya
Give the legend that is Roy harper a listen to, especially the album stormcock.
I love the album " Animals ".
More than most bands, you will get even more from this group of genuises if you listen through one album in sequence rather than hopping around.
Animals is a 'later album', but it is the next album in line after 'Wish You Were Here', so it is not really much later. I had 'ANIMLS' on my license plate in high school. It is my fave Pink Floyd album. Still is. I love everything from about '71 on, I was not a big fan of 'classic' Syd Barrett PF. After him they took a new step and went to the next level with the new band. Thanks for the reaction, as always.
Animals is a book, just listening to one track is like just reading one chapter in a great book, gotta read the whole book to realize how good it is.
NOW... as for what to do next.... YES definitely "Sheep". It is from the album Animals and this is the one album of theirs that I would choose if I could only have one. David's playing this album is some of the most vicious and mean I have ever heard him play... About the only album where he play like that but it fits the songs... and it's what David does... his guitar matches what the songs need.
Did you know Zappa played live with Floyd on a couple of tracks way way back. Look it up, it's an interesting listen.
Do listen to the whole album in one go, just like Dark Side of the Moon, it was old school, listen to side 1 flip and listen to side 2. Utterly perfect albums the pair, but Wish You Were Here shades it for me for Richard Wright’s immaculate keyboard work. ❤
I've already heard most of this record in HS this was one of the tracks I hadn't heard. Imagine a much younger Lee stoned out of his mind trying to comprehend welcome to the machine LOL
Iconic is a perfect way to describe Have A Cigar. I was that weird girl who would put this on the digital jukebox at a bar & sit in the corner sipping a drink & watch everyone come to life while it was playing. Pink Floyd will forever be a go-to for me. I feel very fortunate that I was introduced to them young & never let go of my passion for them (as a 40 year old now) ❤
Pretty much any song from Meddle, DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, the Pulse concert, Pink Floyd in Pompeii, or Roger Waters or David Gilmur live, you cannot go wrong.
I’m 67 also , they’ll never be music 🎶 like our day ❤
MY favourite Pink Floyd album for sure Wish You Were Here just sings to me more so than all the other albums DSOTM included.
Tend to agree, though Echoes is my favourite Floyd track. The last couple of years I've been listening to The Wall more than all others.....
Mine too (so far). Most of my pink floyd knowledge is from this album and my freshman year in HS. AKA Lee finds pot and girls 😂
Best band ever. You could probably tell that i think that by my dark side of the moon haircut 😂.
Do shine on you crazy diamond next. But Sheep and the whole animals album is great. But the best album is the Wall. Listen to the Wall album, tjen watch the Wall movie. I never watch a movie more than once. But i have seen the wall movie over 100 times.
I've always loved this! Best vibes to you Lee... it's gonna be a good year! 🤗
The guitar solo here gotta be top 5 all-time... I get CHILLS every single time! He was making that bad boy scream ⚡️🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No interviews , no publicity, no singles. The 70s personified
Never ever forget 12, 13 14 years old...MEDDLE,Dark Side of the Moon......Listen to "MONEY" if have not....TOP SELF!!!!
Roy Harper is a monster of greatness. Great musician.
My band plays this in our tribute...
Running late today doing catch up. Cannot miss with these amazing gentlemen. Let’s do more. They are fantastic.
best FLOYD cut
This entire album is great! Not a bad song. Most of it blends from one song to the next one so it's ideal to listen to it all the way through.
One of the best.
You gotta try Animals, Dogs will blow your mind. Great video, cheers, Rich, England.👍
The most bizarre thing about this song is that another band did a disco cover of it.
As of this month Dark Side Of The Moon has been on the charts for 972 weeks, Shine on you crazy Diamond parts 1-5 then 6-10 also Sorrow Pulse concert and Comfortably Numb Pulse concert, the guitar solo is a lot longer and phenomenal anything from Pulse concert 😮
Now ya gotta check out Roy Harper's album When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease.(also known as HQ in the UK) There is a song on there called The Game parts 1 through 5 which features members of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and oh yeah Bill Bruford
As a drummer, you should check out One Of These Days, from the Meddle album. Do the Live At Pompeii version, will blow your mind.
Tip of the iceberg brother
All power to your recovery man. Thanks for talking about it, incredibly brave
I appreciate that brother. It's the only way it'll work for me. 😊
Yes!.❤ my daughter has 3 years now. Best wishes for u❤❤
Roy Harper sang cause Roger and David didn't not agree who sang it better.,Roy was in the studio and he said he will do it. Greatest slam to the record executive is the line " Which one is Pink " shows a line of Bull****. So many loss brain cells to this. Just bought a quad receiver Put this on for the first time / When the front channels stop. I"M PISSED. Then when it starts the next song just the backs are still on then the bring an acoustic back in. Brilliant
WYWH = Top album of 1975, along with Physical Graffiti, A Night at the Opera, etc.
The second best album of Pink Floyd after The dark side of the moon🤘
I might have to start that album too... so many to choose from lol
So good to hear you are staying clean, (and enjoying some classic Floyd)! You should be so proud of yourself. Kudos to you .
Great reaction as always bro
Don’t worry. You’ll be getting at least one more Floyd request next month on patreon😎
Also, your Great Gig reaction wasn’t technically perfect 🤩 but the quality of the track carried it through 😊😊
LOL that was so rough. I felt so embarrassed. But I was just working with what I had at the moment and didn't give up on my dream. And here we are 6 months later... in a much better spot. Gotta thank the perseverance for that one.
And I'm totally down for more floyd. This was incredible.
@@L33Reacts yep, you’ve come a long way bro, and I feel you’ll go much further too.
I have something beautiful for you next month 😎
For an introduction to Roy Harper try "I Hate the White Man" a deeply introspective song sung with real bitterness, & "East of the Sun" a gentle love song.
There's this song by a chick named Mary that has the line "Those were the day's my friend" you should give a listen to. Mary Hopkins is her name, now that ought to give you an idea of how old I am. Mary as in Peter Paul and Mary, lol
Dogs, Pigs or Sheep from Animals if you haven't already done them would be a great choice. That album follows Wishe you were here and absolutely rocks.
I KNEW this would make your day !
It totally did! Fantastic work 😊
Pink Floyd produced arguably the best concept records ever made. To REALLY "get" them the albums must be taken as a whole. I'm NOT kidding. Next, please do "Echoes" - the studio version first, and then, after that, live at Pompeii for the contrast to them in the studio. It gives you a real sense of them.
Saw Roy Harper in 1974 in Bristol, just him, some pedals and various guitars, captivating, even if he was clearly stoned out of his tiny mind 😂🎉🎉
Yeah, it's a wonder that he was capable of maintaining a high performance standard in that state. Saw him play in Farningham folk club back in the day. John martyn was another who played amazingly live despite (because of?) his, ahem, enhanced state of mind.
Is he a small guy? Lol
Roy Harper on vocals here. 🙂
Morning bro. Getting out the heavy artillery! Love it. Truth, each side of this album should be heard in it's entirety.
Let's do this
It is often missed tat Roy Harper is doing some guest vocals. I once saw Floyd with Roy helping on this track. On the same bill Roy had his own set with Gilmour and Bill Bruford in his band.
I think Roger Waters said the music executive literally said these lyrics to him at a band meeting.
Man, idk if you’ll see this but I’m telling you shine on you crazy diamond or dogs will blow your mind. Literally, no exaggeration.
Great reaction. You Being familiar with A lot of Pink Floyd, not sure if you have listened to all the Animals tracks but if you haven't would love to see you react to any you haven't seen already
I’m ready for you to review the full version of Dogs off the album Animals ❤❤ I love your reaction! It’s clear you’re a music soul experiencer ❤❤
Roy Harper sings. Check out 'Me and My Woman' by him
Hi there, Lee,
This is a Brilliant Track and Album.
Roy Harper is a Guest Vocalist.
Keep Rocking.
Ronnie
SCOTLAND 😊
Good on you mate. 23 for me. Keep going.
YESSS!!! **Luvit** **Pink Floyd Forever!!!** **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
Forever! 😊😊
Love this song and of Dave’s best ever solos. The guitar sounds like it’s in pain and sung by Roy Harper.
The bad times from our past make us who we are in the present. No regrets, just a new day to enjoy life.
I needed that one today, thank you. 😊
Sheep is fantastic. And it’s from 1977, so it’s not that much later on the timeline.
