44 years of listening to this and it is just as good as the first day I heard it....Gilmour, nuff said
Tonto Dumbrowski He had a bad trip and never recovered
David Gilmore is one of the best guitar players ever imo. Not flashy, doesn't play fast solos. His guitar almost sings, I love it. Excellent reaction 🎸👍🤘.
"Leo Fender created the Stratocaster and God created David Gilmour to play it." Said with all due respect to Jimi, Eric, Ritchie, Rory, SRV et al, but no-one can put so much emotion into a guitar than David Gilmour. RIP to Rick Wright and to the crazy diamond himself, Syd Barrett.
no-one can put so much emotion into a Stratocaster than David Gilmour
because Gary Moore has the LesPaul
@@roverwaters3875 So true.
I prefer David Gilmour over all the guitarists you've listed. They belong to the best players in the world, but my heart will always listen to Gilmour.
Beautifully said!!
BB King asked him if he was born in Mississippi.
I have found pink Floyd is best listened to with eyes closed and headphones on.
I listen to them relaxing in the bathtub.
Yes indeed. I'll add, with one dram of good Scotch for good measure!
@@MrBabyBoa Doesn't the Scotch dry your skin out in the bath, lol.
Agreed!!! Soo beautiful...love the guiter playingn...
@@MrBabyBoa Okay now, you have impeccable tastes. Make mine An Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky. Preferably a LAPHROAIG or ARDBEG. And I don't ruin it with water.....unless it is just a splash.
I love watching people listen to Pink Floyd for the first time. Yes makes me feel jealous, just to have that experience again.
David Gilmour is 73 and still rocks that guitar like a 20-year-old. The man is timeless. I can remember when I was a teenager sitting in my friends' basement like an episode of that 70s show, (only I lived it) just laying back on the sofa eyes closed, listening to Pink Floyd, passing a joint...black lights on, blacklight posters all lit up beautifully florescent. I love that opening... it takes me back to June 10, 1975... That concert was sold out in less than an hour and I stood in line for hours waiting for ticketron to open up at Sears so I could get my tickets. That show was off the hook. They played Shine on you crazy Diamond and the crowd went insane... it was released that year on their 'Wish you were here' LP... I was just a little kid in those days but I loved Rock music. There is no other band in the world like Pink Floyd. It's such a shame they've lost some talented band members over the years but they still sound incredible.
An excerpt from your life story? Enjoy these fake "reactions?" These reaction people couldn't care less about the music they are listening to... its all about clicks.
AMEN, SO WELL SAID, MY EXPERIENCE AS WELL
If I’m not mistaken, that’s the guitar that just sold for four million dollars at his charity auction.
I do know, the guitar strap he’s using was a 60th birthday present to David from his wife. The guitar strap was originally owned by Jimi Hendrix.
I bought a similar one for my bass. It's a black leather one, which fits my bass best. The brand is called Minotaur Guitar Straps.
Alan Peterson
Dave's like yeah for Floyd and Jimi🤘✌️
Alan Peterson much more than 4 milions
Yes it did.
The Black Strat
Pink Floyd is the ultimate band, there is no one else like them, I've been listening for more than 45 years and it has taken me thru the loss of both my parents the births of my children they have been my life long companion and I listen to them as much as possible and always will...♡
It's been said so often that it's become cliche, but you don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience the music.
Everyone experiences it in their own unique way. That's what makes their music so unforgettable. It stirs something deep inside the individual.
Pink Floyd isn’t just music..it’s a whole experience-💛🤘🏼✌️💛
Everything David Gilmore plays is a masterpiece. Nobody is better at his craft.
Pink Floyd to me is music that is not in a hurry to get to the end. They take their time getting to the lyrics. Take you on a slow ride.
This man is literally the reason I started playing guitar 10 years ago, He can melt your face with filthy solos while playing with pure emotion that can bring you to tears 🔥🔥🎸
Without doubt this is the best version if Shine On I've ever heard. Full of improv...none of that playing the same ol' licks over and over again...real music, by a genuine master.
The thing with Pink Floyd is, yes the singles are awesome, but to really understand them you need to listen to the whole album, especially the records made in the 70's from The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and the The Wall (1979). All the songs flow into each other and are connected and most importantly tell the story. So happy for you discovering Pink Floyd.
And even Meddle and Atom Heart Mother
It reminds me of all the good times with friends when we just chilled enjoyed the music
Oh yes.
I listen and get sad those days are gone.
Oh man THAT Strat' gives me chills, love this track. The 'Wish You Were Here' album is stunning! Gilmour sold that black Strat' and a ton of other guitars, donating the money to help fight climate change, he also once sold most of his homes and gave the money to a homeless charity, a good man.
That Strat went for 3,975,000 dollars! The most expensive guitar ever. Justifiably so.
I think his wife made him donate his mansion to homeless charity. ALLEGEDLY. My favourite band for the past 50 years. Good to see a lot of youngsters enjoying their music. Long may they live.
It's very comforting to see someone 'get' this music the same way we got it back in 1975. Enjoy this timeless music on your Pink Floyd journey.
One of my deceased bros favourite pink Floyd songs 😢this song was/is him ❤️
With they title of the song, they are referring to Syd Barrett as a crazy diamond. Shine on you crazy diamond is about the band members still caring about Syd (you crazy diamond) and remembering him (shine on). You could also apply this to your situation.
If you take the first letters of Shine, You and Diamond, you get the name Syd. A bit of trivia some PF fans dont know.
I think the exact same thing about my buddy who died. Always this song.
Best. Concert. Ever.
Outside.
Winnipeg Arena
This sure brings back some memories. I saw them in concert 3 times back in the 80’s. They have the best laser light show I have ever seen. When you see them live you don’t want it to end. Keep up what you do my brother in Christ. May he continue to bless you and keep you and your family safe. That goes for everyone else that watches your reactions.
You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you let it take you away somewhere.
Really though, if you like the music you have got to try listening to some of their full albums, they designed their albums to be a complete experience with songs and stories that blend from one song into the next, you will hear a song and before you even know it you're in another song.
Non only SOMEwhere, but EVERYwhere.
You have experience this kind of music, listening is not enough...
YES!!! David Gilmour is my favourite guitarist EVER! He plays sooo beautifully, & simply, yet profoundly. I was fortunate enough to see Floyd in their tour of The Wall, & again in England, was amazing! I listen to Pink Floyd every single day. And this song is about the former lead singer (& originator of the band), whom overdosed on LSD & lost his already tweaked mind, he spent his life in a psych hospital. So much of their material was about this “Crazy Diamond”.. so pretty, yet a sad feel to it. The studio version is phenomenal! Animals is hands down my fave album of theirs.. Dogs, Pigs, they are like quests with music that is so calming &’deep.. LOVE this!
David Gilmour = Guitar God 🎸🎶🎶🎶💖😁
Can't listen to this while driving - that made me laugh out loud. Pink Floyd's music is all about leaving your body and going on a journey. This guy gets it. Great reaction video, man!
Pink Floyd was just an awesome experience live. Saw them in 96' Division bells tour. Nothing like it in this world.
David Gilmour has been the architect in the rock and roll world of what great music should sound like! Genius!
It gave me so much joy watching you experience the music that I adore - it's like passing a torch. Seeing the pleasure in your eyes. Thanks for giving me that experience. Gilmour' plays his guitar, but the instrument sings. It cries. It tells you about no food on the table and hard times. He came to Tennessee to take blues guitar lessons. Bet your spirit knew that before I told you. Love to see you enjoy music. And yeah, I know exactly what you mean about Uncle Junior. For me it was Uncle John and Aunt Clara.
Buzzing, open sky, friends talking... you just described song High Hopes from Pink Floyd. It is a must for you to listen next.
I wish i could of been there. Gilmour never fails too amaze me.
David Gilmore is the BEST bender. This song is a REAL gem.👍💎👍💎👍
My sons favorite band ( guitar player) at age 19, he owns 3 original vinyl lps, has posters, shirts, he took after me, his mama..lol
Wendy-Dawn Pritchard you both have excellent taste in music
@@kingjames1308 thank you!
Wendy Pritchard you taught him well. Floyd is my favourite band and then Moody Blues. Oh by the way do you have a husband LOL
Pink Floyd...true masters of their craft!
once you have heard Pink Floyd, you will recognize them every time!!
Loved this song. Wish you would do Pink Floyds song "Wish You Were Here", I think you would really love this song. Thanks for such a great evening. I could listen to Pink Floyd all the time. Never get tired of listening to them. They make you feel like their song "Comfortably Numb".
This beautiful song brings me back to my childhood in the oddest way. It really takes me elsewhere for awhile, hard to explain. Cheers :)
Me too, man. This came out in 74? Was 16 already experimenting w/ all kinds of things.
bri bro: I wish I could say it brings me back to my childhood. Unfortunately, I was 28 yoa. To this day I still listen to every song, album, disc, they recorded. Have them all.
That sax switch,almost as good as the master dick parry.🎷🎷🎷🎷
My first ever concert was Pink Floyd at Hyde Park in London in 1968.
51 years later, I'm still a huge fan
The guitar strap David is using used to belong to Jimi Hendrix.
David is a pure rock legend.
Without a doubt the best song ever created... thank you pink floyd :)
The word "Chill" was made for this song
that performance was the 1st performance in that amphitheater witnessed by an audience since the year 79AD when the town and population of Pompeii was destroyed by the erupting volcano Mt Vesuvius which is about 5 miles away (and can be seen in the background behind the stage in the distance)....Pink Floyd recorded here in 1971
The beautiful Black Strat David is playing here recently sold for nearly $4,000,000.00 at auction to Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
Quadrupled the record for any guitar ever and probably never to be beaten. Shows the impact that one particular Stratocaster had on the collective culture. WYWH, Time solo, comfortably numb, most of the wall... truly historic instrument.
I want to just touch it. I cried when he sold it.
I’m 65 & have been fortunate enough to attend 3 PF concerts.
I’ve told my friends that if they don’t play this at my funeral then I ain’t going. !!!
You did the right thing. Surrendered to the music and enjoyed your journey. Once you land again on solid earth you are a better being.
This song just takes you to another place.
Being an old man is a small price to pay for being alive in the most creative musical time ever.
The tears began to flow with the 1st note of Gilmore's guitar. Everyone has a different experience when listening to Pink Floyd.
Agreed
Thats rock and roll religion ,
And you just sat through
Mass.
Dd
The song was written about Syd Barrett he was one of the founding members of the group brilliant mind great songs unfortunately Syd got hung up with taken acid everyday all day his mind just broke. He would miss sessions and just really lost it. They loved him but like they said he wore out his welcome playing with the band. They really looked after him and protected him as much as possible.
No they did not
philip cockburn They did for the most part, they even helped him make his solo albums lol. anything about the band being bad to him is just rumor so we can’t assume anything
I can't tell you how it tickles me to watch your reactions to Pink Floyd. Being of the age group that grew up with them I've found the mastery of their unique sound breaks down any & all barriers between those of us who delight in the gift they have given us.
Peace brother...may all your days be Pink....
pink floyd puts you in the mood they want you to be in.. your heart will sink when you play The great gig in the sky.. Its about a woman finding out she was going to die, At first she fights it then comes to terms with it .. There isnt one word in the song but the words are amazing . even if you dont react to it you should still listen to it
You have the best reactions great one as usual
Thats exactly what Pink Floyd does to you..it takes you to another level...and i love it
The fare well to Sid.
When I DJ, I use the album version of this instrumental intro to kick off my whole gig, and then just crossfade straight into that first popping track. It is a perfect set up to get the whole thing started. I started doing this back in the in late 1980s, and still do this even through today.
I'd love to hear some! Are you able to/willing to upload a video/recording and let me know?
David Gilmore is was and will forever be one of the greatest Blues masters. What a player! Gifted to say the least, Gilmore.
Your faces during the sax solo are priceless Ty lol
some of the most difficult music to play in the world,,,,,ty MRM dor the great channel!
The Crazy Diamond is Syd Barrett the band founder who left due to mental illness.
And then he turned up during the "Wish you were Here" sessions and they didn't recognise him
more like kicked from the band
Syd Barrett was a creative talent who suffered with mental illness, back in a time when mental illness was basically overlooked. He was greatly
M He more or less slowly withdrew, not playing at gigs or just playing one note. They drafted in Gilmour to take up the slack, but the last straw was when he crushed up a load of Mandrax (Qualude) tablets, his favourite pharmaceutical, mixed them with hair cream, poured the lot over his head and walked on stage. The mess then slowly melted under the stage lights, running down his face. They had enough at that point.
@@SvenTviking ......and you know, that is so damn sad. There are many talented musicians who self destruct, while others sit by and watch. Of course many of those share the same problems. What a waste!
Every live version of this song is outstanding, and they're all different. My favourite is Live In Gdansk, where the intro is played on wine glasses. Absolutely brilliant.
I LOVE listening to Pink Floyd WITH you.
You appreciate listening to them as much as I do and have since 1974.
Your enthusiasm reminds me of how I felt when I first discovered them way back when.
I also want to thank you for sending me some love on a comment I made on something you did a while ago.
Brother, the feeling is mutual.
Keep being you. :)
This right here was the very song that WBCN, The first FM Rick station in the USA. Signed off the air in terrestrial radio with!!!! Like forever!!!!
Ty, I mean this from the bottom of my heart 💝. Your response to this song gave me goosebumps. .. This is one of the best reaction from you. You understood Pink Floyd that's awesome.. Your BEST yet. 💟💟💟💟
Yes!!! I love this song!! Love pink Floyd! Their music puts you In the zone! Relaxes the mind & soul!!! So happy you enjoyed it!!! Love ya Ty Thankyou!!! Xx
Don’t ever play poker because your face will give you away! I can almost see each instrument in the expressions on your face. You truly love music of every kind! I was fortunate to grow up with this incredible music and I probably looked just like you. Love it, keep it up!
This song was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett the original guitarist and leader of the original Pink Floyd. From the Album Wish You were here.
This was by far your best reaction! I’m so glad you watched this and that you loved it, Thanks for sharing!
I was on a trip to Cairo Egypt looking at the at the pyramids, a BBQ was on, it was dark, I ate, had a couple of beers then layed on the sand, looking up at the stars and the pyramids and listened to DSOTM. It was surreal, it was magical, it was a drugless trip. I have never forgotten it, it will remain with me until the day I die!!!😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is a stellar version of SOYCD, and David Gilmour is a master guitarist. Great reaction video 🙂
The love and respect the band members of Pink Floyd still show to Syd Barret is amazing, which BTW, who this this song is a tribute too. DG The master of the understated. Nobody can put more feeling into one note than he can
Get yourself ready for some of the greatest guitar playing in the universe! (It's even better on "Comfortably Numb" live.)
Not the Live PULSE version of Comfortably Numb...the guitar solo at the end is INCENDIARY
I hear you're feeling down
@@beverlycobb724 Roger Waters Live in Berlin is amazing.
I have the first line of Comfortably Numb on my left chest. It's the favourite song of my grandparents and they want it played at their funeral. When they die they will still be in my heart. "Hello, is there anybody in there" will refer to them still being in my heart, which is why its placed on my left chest.
Love Pink Floyd. I really like most of their music.
When I'm feeling stressed or can't sleep I listen to PF sometimes with earphones. Their music just takes me to a whole different universe..🤗💭🎶🎶
Although I WILL NOT listen to the song "Time" with headphones on.
I had just turned 15 & I was playing racquetball at some court that was close to where I was taking my AP classes. My future brother-in-law worked at the courts part time so I felt "safe" and not alone. He was also a police officer. I only played the days my future brother-in-law was scheduled to work simply for safety & I was alone. I had no interest in "boys" then. I was literally a "good girl"!
I was used to good at racquetball & could hold my own with a "decent" male player.
Shortly after I started playing regularly I met this guy at the courts. He was in his late 20s about 6'3" & apx 220lbs. He was very polite & seemed very nice. We started playing doubles & also against each other several times a week. Again, I had NO interest in "boys" so I NEVER gave him any ideas that I was interested in him or anyone. Then this guy would show up & if I was playing with ANY male player, singles or doubles, this nut would start a fight with whomever I was playing with. It wasn't long until this guy became a crazy stalker & was following me everywhere.
I have no idea how that nut found out where I was staying since I moved around A LOT back then. One night I couldn't sleep. I was listening to Pink Floyd "Time" with my earphones on. This nut was breaking through my bedroom window & I didn't hear anything because of my earphones. By the grace of God, I opened my eyes & saw that nut climbing through my window! I got fast, ran through the house screaming for someone to call the police as loud as I could!
I did get a restraining order fast thanks to my future brother-in-law/police officer. He had witnessed a lot of what this nut was like at the racquetball courts so getting a restraining order was easy.
It was over a year I lived a paranoid nightmare. I had to move again & again. This guy would find me when I moved & I had to stay relatively close to my work and school they always found me. he didn't get close to me but he would be sitting in the parking lot sitting in his car just watching. He made my life insanely stressful.
To this day I have some kind of personal defense that I literally sleep with.
I have no idea what happened to him or if he was ever put in jail for stalking anyone else. I never saw him after the following Christmas.
Well I didn't expect to be sharing that story just because of Pink Floyd and MRM asking what we think of when we hear songs. I know it was a different song but the band still has a certain sound it's carried from song the song.
A regular everyday tune on my Dads stereo.. love every note!
Shine on you crazy diamond from the pulse concert is definitely worth a listen.
Now this is what you call music
I was at Knebworth in 1975 when Pink Floyd performed Dark Side Of The Moon. Just sitting there up on the hill as the night set in, they were so great live.
Dick Parry's sax composition on this track is chunky 👏👏👏 awesome! God love you so brother 🙏
The song is about founder member Syd Barrett who succumbed to mental illness and drugs in the late 1960s. Syd also named the band Pink Floyd in homage to his favorite old school, black blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
i get the chills the moment David starts playing the guitar...
Thanks for the tip about No Man's Sky. So glad you enjoyed this. They are just stunning aren't they. Loved the Labor Day story, I was there with you. Love & Peace man.
interesting factoid is that they played in an amphitheatre built around 70 BC which was burried in 79 AD with the Vesuvius eruption
My favorite Shine On is Live at Gdansk. So personal.
More Pink Floyd!
I love them and I love your reaction to them. :)
The album came out as I entered my senior year of high school and was a headphone favorite (along with Dark Side Of The Moon and others). The entire album and Dark Side Of The Moon are classics that deserve to be in your collection.
The album is about Sid Barret, one of the founders and former member of Pink Floyd, and his degeneration into schizophrenia after years of drug abuse (mostly massive doses of LSD), the pressures of stardom/success and the pervasiveness of the corporate music industry ("Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?"). Sid Barret actually showed up at the recording sessions and the band didn't initially recognize him so far had he deteriorated There is, in fact, a very good documentary about the making of the album which also necessarily covers the early years of Pink Floyd.
If you want to go for another great progressive rock act check out Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELP). Many would recommend the guitar ballads such as "From The Beginning" & "Lucky Man", or the more famous keyboard tracks such as "Take A Pebble," "Karn Evil 9, Impression 1, Part 2" or perhaps "Hoedown" or "Fanfare For The Common Man", their adaptations of Aaron Copeland compositions. But the track that, to me, as a rabid fan and keyboard player, epitomizes ELP is "Trilogy." It shows off Kieth Emerson's delicate classical/jazz piano chops and Greg Lake's vocal range, followed by their hard rockin' constructions and improvisations, all supported by Carl Palmer's precision drumming. They never performed this song live except for one horrible, abortive attempt, so please use the remastered album track (sorry, no interesting visuals).
Peace,
Uncle Bob
@Modern Rennescance Man this song was written for and about the original lead singer of the band. His name was Syd Barrett, he was super creative but his acid addiction had him so far gone that it made him sick and he wasn't the same anymore, he was mentally ill. sadly he passed away. 😢
David Gilmour the lead singer of and guitarist of this song also put out a solo album called "On an Island".. The first two songs are Castellorizon and On an Island and they have an almost haunting melody. I think it is right up your ally if you like instrumental music
Back in High School I lent Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to a friend, he listened to it while driving & zoned out & wound up in a not so nice neighborhood. But he's still a Floyd fan!
I am very glad you liked this. They have done some better versions of this song. I have found with Pink Floyd that they have so many versions of each song and most of them are fantastic in there own right. Listen to a few more and find which ones suit your mood. Most important is to listen to whole albums because each one tells a story. For me they are the greatest band ever and I can spend hours sitting in my Lazy Boy chair with my eyes closed and be immersed in the musical world they have created.
David Gilmour plays guitar with feeling like no one else. This song is from Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” album. Written in honor of their friend and founding member Syd Barrett. BTW, this song is actually longer. You should do more Pink Floyd.
First heard Umma Gumma in '68 or '69, and been a total fan ever since. They ALWAYS take me somewhere!
Wish I could like this twice! Listen to more Floyd! Try to listen to full albums, as each song blends into the next. You hit the nail on the head you get lost in the music. It takes you places.
WE KNOW......WE DID THIS 40 YRS AGO....THIS MUSIC IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL....IT'S NOT FOR THE MEEK....WHEN YOU HEAR THIS ALL THE POP MUSIC DISAPPEARS....WELCOME TO THE GOLD CLUB....I FIRST HEARD THIS IN A HAMMOCK WITH A DUBE AND A SIX PACK......GUESS HOW HAPPY I WAS.......YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY...
I have loved Pink Floyd for a long time, this is one of my favourites! Thank you for not talking through it like some of the reviewers do.
Is there everybody in there? Let the celebration begin!
I bought Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on 8 track...yeah 8 track...in the mid 70s when I was 16 and going to have the house to myself for an entire week. I got back from the mall, turned off every light in the house except a little red night light in the kitchen, popped the tape in and laid on the couch. I had no idea that the album/tape started with the sound of a heartbeat and it scared the crap out of me being in the house alone. I had just read Poe's The Tell Tale Heart in the last few months prior to that which obviously didn't help. All the lights came back on and I enjoyed Floyd the next day while the sun was shining.
So cool, that saxophone really did it for me. It was an awesome song from beginning to the end.
Great stuff MRM! Ready for opera? Classical music? If no, keep it rolling! Soo much influences from across the boards! 😎♥️
Most amazing guitarist in my eyes!!!
💕💞💗💞💕
Great reaction to an epic performance my man. Props to you.
Have to listen to Pink Floyd in a completely dark room. I'm camping in the canyons of southern Utah and let's just say that at night, you can hear them for miles.
Each Pink Floyd song is a statement that individually may be different, but collectively is concisely grandiose.
