"Who was only a stranger at home": Brutal line that so many can relate to. The protagonist in this song is the DOG. The corporate shark that would stab his mother to achieve fortune and notoriety. For me, the most amazing part of the song is the last stanza of lyrics when Roger spits out the description of this man's life from beginning to end and what made him who he was. Genius level composition.
La línea que más duro me golpea en todo el álbum. La instrospeccion es clave y la implícita estafeta que Gilmour le pasa a Waters que simboliza la predominancia en la pista, en el disco y hasta inicios de los 80's con el Final Cut
This was a great reaction. I like the way you waited for the transition and then paused. Then you picked back up before the transition. A great way to handle the pauses.
For this genre of music, progressive rock, Rodger Waters is hands down the greatest lyricist period. No one else even comes close. So what do you get when you combine one of the most profound lyricist in all of rock, with arguably the greatest guitarist/vocalist in rock interpreting his genius - David Gilmour? Well, you get this. And you got it again and again and again throughout the seventies. Each album arguably better than the next. Nice job! Looking forward to your next "Pigs" reaction from this album.
Also, both David and Roger sing on this. David starts it and Roger picks up after the break. Depending on how you look at it, they could be thought of as playing two different characters that are responding to each other.
Agreed. I see the David sung parts as from the point of view of the corporate bigwig who has taken a young successor or apprentice under his wing, telling him how he has to live his life in order to become what he aspires to. In other words, how to win friends and influence people without ever giving his true nature away, that he is a blood thirsty trained killer who will stop at nothing to get where he wants to be. When Roger comes in, I believe the point of view shifts to the apprentice, now the bigwig himself, at the end of his life, questioning all he has known and done, and realizing it meant nothing in the end. He will die alone, friendless and no one will care, not even his family ('only a stranger at home').
I guess I should have been more specific as there are many varied guitar skills. Whether it be technical prowess, speed, innovative technique, touch, etc. Clearly Gilmour isn't the most technical or the fastest. There are 25 year old guitar players on UA-cam that would eat his lunch. However, I would say his touch is second to none. I would also say that his innovation in technique was amazing in the 1970s environment. But it is his songwriting spirit or sense of note progression that strikes me most. Love him
I get it, when i hear the word skill I think about talent but you were alking about the specific skill of being technical and fast. David doesn't have that skill but he's got the tone and vibrato which is also a skill. We just misunderstood each other man
I’ve heard this song a dozen times, but I never recognized the callback to the dog barking patterns in the guitar solo before. Wow. Layers for decades…
don’t worry, my first time too 7:01 was my exact reaction. I was blown away by how fucking good they were, my ears had never heard such magic before. I’m 24 so i’ve been having to deal with this trash/degenerate music for way too long. Just got heavily into Pink Floyd a few years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life.
Gilmours guitar work on this is just phenomenal. And 180° from Wish You Were Here. Honestly, Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pts 1-5 still gives me goosebumps but he's just on fire on Dogs. He's playing that Strat like it owes him money.
Your reactions are consistently the best, most considered and enjoyable to watch that I've come across.... Keep going matey this album is in my opinion Floyd's best and you've got a hell of a ride coming, cheers!
Pink Floyd , always a journey. Their musical ability is masterclass. You could not pull this off today. I don't think anyone has the capability. Their attention to detail is high level.
The guitar in this song did things to my body that no other song has, Gilmour making love to that strat and showing off his repertoire forever changed my idea of what a guitar should sound like. What the band contributed to music shall forever be remembered as what it is, the greatest band and music/lyrics ever assembled. They hit home in so many songs, they punch your gut with truth and soothe your ears with the sounds of the gods. Animals is the album that put them up there with the big boys of this beautiful thing we have, music.
When I listen to this album(which is quite often) I'm always sad that's its over. Pink Floyd is easily my favorite band, And Animals is in my top 3 for sure, if not #1❤️ I love watching ppl's reactions when listening for the first time. I hope you enjoy as much as we all do.
Totally love that you are digging this so much. Your mind looks blown. As it should be. Mine was when I first heard this so many decades ago. Great reaction as always.
I've seen this song bring a few people to tears, and I can't blame them; it's a powerful song. Also, dogs are trained to perform and deliver results. Sheep simply fall in line and follow.
An absolute masterpiece one of the greatest pieces of music created. Listening to it on vinyl is great cause you get pigs on the wing and then this song takes up the entire remainder of the first side.
Animals is a very underrated album which is a shame. I think it is as great as the Wish you were here album. I can recommend the song Echoes from the album Meddle. To me, it’s their best song. Listen to the studio version first. The live version is great but a lot of the subtleties get lost.
Really enjoyed this reaction. This is my all-time favorite album. Perfect in concept and execution. It was great to see you react to the lyrics, the music, the mix and production - all of that together makes this a song that sets the bar so high. I'm subscribing...
I've heard this song many thousand times, and I somehow think that I am better off for it, because I know where everything sets in (never underestimate Nick Mason's drums). My comment also tells you that I still enjoy it immensely after all these years - yes, I know it from when it was released. Thank you for a sensible and sensitive reaction
Great reaction - Thank you! I bought this record the day it came out - I didn't like it, posibly because I liked DSOTM and WYWH so much. I had to play it a good few times before I got it. Now I think it's my favourite PF album - I think of my PF albums as my children - (If it's possible to say which of your children you like best).
2 different singers on this song, Gilmour at the beginning and Waters in the 2nd half, one of the best Waters lyrics and just a great album period. Fits more in 2021 than it even did in 77.
Just ran into your channel 2 years after the fact but I loved your reaction, you hit the nail on the head with your interpretation, this is my favorite pink floyd album, lifelong fan since 71, ok I'm old, by the way, great audio
"And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around " -- not to overstate this, but is this not one of the wittiest lyrics in R&R history? Smart, deep and even rhythmic. What is it saying, anyway? That the power a politician has or once had that corrupted him cannot be done away with now? That he cannot undo the hurt he has caused others? Or and perhaps also that he has burned his bridges behind him, and if he attempted to burn down the harvest that he has sown, he would go up with the flames as well? Or is it that he loves the power that he accrewed over time and although he sees the rotten crop that has resulted from his ill-gotten gains, he will not and ultimately can not relinquish that power? Anyway -- enjoying your reaction to this song. It is truly a masterpiece. Your realization of how good the song is shines through your countenance. Us teens who heard this when it was first released had the same reaction. You appear to have knowledge on music production. I'm sure this adds to your appreciation of the material. The album Animals took me off guard initially. It had a heaviness to it. Even some spookiness. It also featured some drawn out musical interludes that seemed like filler to me. Along with the animal sounds, it felt a little gimmicky. But it didn't take many listens to get over these initial thoughts. Suddenly I couldn't wait to get home from school or work to listen to the entire album once again. The album now is one of my overall favorites . One of the most unique albums ever produced. Your commentary is well done. Your pauses are well timed. Edit : I see that you haven't made a video in over a year. And that you practice meditation and yoga. These things are dangerous. There is a spirit world, but those in it are not benign or neutral. There is only good and evil in the invisible world. However, the evil beings are skilled in passing themselves off as good. As "children of light." I have prayed for you and your family members. The One True God -- the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- will draw you and yours to His Son Jesus Christ and reveal the Gospel to all of you. If He has not done so already. Please repent and believe on Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and the gift of eternal life.
Urban Shaman Love Gilmore's guitar style. I definitely see his influence in ADAM JONES' (TOOL) playing. These guys do more with fewer notes than Slash and Van Halen combined.
I’ve always thought Adam Jones’ sound was reminiscent of Gilmour’s, even in the heaviest of songs. Maybe not necessarily influenced, who am I to say, but definitely they’re two minds that think much alike that’s for sure. Two absolute legends
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this or any Pink Floyd ALBUM (not just a song) on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul!!!
I actually like animals better than dark side of the moon... when they released this album I remember in the store having large cardboard pigs hanging from the ceiling above the album dept
Dogs are the ruthless businessmen, Pigs are the polititians ruling the dogs...doing their dirty work and of course, the Sheep are the mindless masses that do as they are told by the Pigs and Dogs. Even though I don't enjoy it when reactors pause Pink Floyd's music, your pauses were justified and you spoke sense so all in all I really enjoyed your reaction.
Pink Floyd affects my mind's eye. Many reoccurring visions are fantasy images but, some are real memories & sights I have lived through to this music. One of my favorites. The scene I imagine when the whistling for the dog starts is a good one.
I was lucky enough to see them perform this in concert in 1977. It was in a place called The madhouse on McDowell where the Phoenix Suns used to play. They played all of "Animals" all of "Wish You Were Here" and half of "Dark Side Of The Moon" for their encore!!! And Gilmore must have been on steroids that night because he was ON, they were all ON and played perfectly!! I've seen them four times, once in 74 for the Dark Side of the Moon tour once in 87 and once and 94 for the Pulse tour! One important note: I made it a point to go to those concerts to see Pink Floyd totally sober! Trust me by the time you got out of the concert you needed to find the nearest fast food restaurant anyway!! 😉 I've seen about a hundred concerts in my life and those four were the top four!!!
I enjoyed reading your comments about your memories of seeing Pink Floyd Jon. Brought back many great memories of my own with probably the "greatest touring act" in rock history. I attended both nights, June 28 29 1977, at South Philadelphia's "Spectrum." The second night was the famous, "Roger Waters becomes ill, misses encores, but completes 1/2 of a song that would become a masterpiece", night. That June 29th show was when Roger was having stomach issues and was injected with medication that made his hands "feel like 2 balloons". He started writing, "Comfortably Numb" that night backstage. It would be on their next album, "The Wall", released 2 years later. We knew something was wrong when, "Snowy White", the 2nd touring guitarist, played the bass for the entire encores. I believe Dave's guitar tech played rhythm guitar, wile Dave handled lead. That show was an 8 out of 10, the night before, on the 28th was a perfect 10 out of 10. I haven't seen any concert since, that matches it.
Animals is a great album. Every bit as good as Dark Side and Wish You Were Here. Echoes (off Meddle) is great too and there are some great tracks on The Wall. No other band has really come close in my opinion.
I heard this album in a basement, one year after release, on a pair of headphones (the first I had ever tried) as a young teen, on a beanbag, high af. That one experience literally changed my entire life in regards to music and the vast resources of the human mind. To this day this album (particularly this song) still gives me chills of the very best kind.
Thanks for the vid man!, happened to me every single time I go back to those records, this song is just out of this world. I think Gilmour sings the first half and Waters the second!?, 🤯
I have been looking forward to this :) and living in Sydney in 2021 in our 2nd lockdown, apart from getting the fuck out of said lockdown, it is nice to have other things to look forward to. This song is the exact of that however........ I have an affinity with this song that spans back over 31 years, so there is a lot of looking back happening, which is awesome. I still to this day remember the 1st time I heard Dogs. It, along with Sheep, would be among the most listened to songs of my life. ( keeping very good company with a tonne of Tool songs....). I knew were going to love it, but we are only half way. I am interested to see how you take the middle part :) oh also, you are so lucky to have what is coming for you! It doesn't matter when we find awesome music really, it is the fact that we have it for the rest of our lives that is truly awesome! Peace
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 Hey Shaman, have you heard of the lead singer Floor Jansen of the Symphonic Metal band Nightwish ?

It's such an overlooked album (because it's not darkside 2.0), it's a shame. It was honestly one of the major precursors to the creation of The Wall. There was an infamous incident with Waters while touring Animals, where he has a meltdown on stage and spits at someone in the crowd. He said to cope with it all he used to imagine a big giant wall between him and the crowd when they would perform. Also, if you haven't checked out their album Meddle, you should. The final track "Echoes" is where you can here the beginnings of what would eventually become their "staple sound" (just before they made Dark Side), and is my personal favourite track of theirs.
Firstly I would like to say, great reaction. Yes this album is loosely based on the animal farm book by George Orwell. Yep I will be watching you react to the rest of the album 👌
First time watching you react. I appreciate your enjoyment of musical talent. You were born 30 years too late… I have a feeling.😎good thing it’s all available at a whim now. Different experience for sure compared to following these classic bands as they evolved through the 70’s and 80’s.
when i first heard floyd in 88/89 i was 11 time i hit 14 15 i had learn the basics of the bass guitar when you realy get into the theroy and complex structures melodic's i knew this music would stand the test of time late 80s 90s 00s 010s now 2021 thay still move ppls feelings sound freqenceys
Great to see an intelligent person react to Pink Floyd, they are a very special band. Their music takes you on a cerebral journey, virtually with every song. Yes you're right about their production, it's off the charts man, especially in 1977! Everything was analog too! There are restored and re-edited versions of their 1994 Pulse Concert, some of the finest performances of their songs that you'll ever see. Again, the production is flawless, the musicianship is flawless, the coordinated light show is flawless! Some of my favorites are, 'Comfortably Numb',... 'Sorrow',... 'High Hopes',... 'Learning To Fly',... 'Money',.. 'One Of These Days',... 'Run Like Hell', and more. I've been a Pink Floyd fan since 1975 when they released 'Dark Side Of The Moon', I was 17.
Wow! Pink Floyd and A Perfect Circle at the same time (two of my favourite bands) so much hype! :D I think you should consider hearing Porcupine Tree next (for me they are the Pink Floyds of the 2000s) I am sure you will love them! It is difficult to choose but probably their best albums are the "In Absentia" and the "The Fear of a Blank Planet".
Truly appreciate the sincere reaction… Keep following your path ….but somewhere along the way… would really like to see you dive into the “YES” rabbit hole….(Close to the Edge) title track … And You And I…or would suggest Awaken, Heart of the Sunrise…Gates of Delirium….. Thanks for the positive content!!!!
I really appreciate that you don't talk over the music like others do. Thanks! Orwell may have been a great Visionary and writer, but he's not exclusive! This whole concept album is timeless it's this relative today as it was decades or even centuries ago. History repeats itself. It does so mostly because those in control have always maintained control through deception. 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
I’m 7 minutes in and I can’t wait for you to finish Pigs on the Wing Pt. 2 so you can immediately get incredibly stoned and just listen to this album start to finish without needing to say a damn word.
My 2 cents. The album is heavily influenced by Animal Farm. Which is an allegory for the dangers of authoritarian communism. Waters took it an remiagined it as an allegory for the dangers of capitalism. Dogs represented the military industrial complex and the state in the book. In the song they represent capitalists. The pigs represent politicians and sheep are the masses. My interpretation anyway. Not only my favorite Floyd album but one one my all time favorites.
yo mate too lazy to check - did you do echoes already? pompeiiiiii version and H E Y ... DONT STOP GOOD OL' DAVE ANYTIME. very true reaction keep it up
Man! Luv it wen someone with intellectual awareness listens to 1 of tha' best Albums ever made. I see I'm @ little late to tha' party, Assuming u hv listened to all or most tracks frm ""Pulse Concert"" IF not it is @ MUST! ❤ Frm 🇬🇧 Xxx.
A fantastic reaction that stands out from many others. I would like to watch more reactions from you to Pink Floyd. You mentioned that you know The Dark Side of the Moon. So you don't know Wish You Were Here? You don't know The Final Cut? Meddle? The Wall? Division Bell? Momentary? Atom Heart Mother? All the solo albums? Oh! If you don't know all that you have the chance to go through a great jeurney.
![Pink Floyd - Dogs [2018 Remix] (REACTION) with my wife](/img/n.gif)
This album came out in 1977 and is still blowing peoples minds in 2021. It is timeless and perfect.
☺️👍
Yup.
One of the best albums of all time, along with the Big 4 that came out in the same decade, Wish you Were Here is my fav personally
2022 and Forever!
Dogs is one of the greatest songs ever recorded by anyone. Absolute masterpiece. What a great album. Fun watching you take it all in.
Agree. And somehow under-appreciated.
Gilmour's work in this song is amazing
If you wanna hear Gilmour get downright nasty on the guitar, Dogs is a great choice :)
"Who was only a stranger at home": Brutal line that so many can relate to. The protagonist in this song is the DOG. The corporate shark that would stab his mother to achieve fortune and notoriety. For me, the most amazing part of the song is the last stanza of lyrics when Roger spits out the description of this man's life from beginning to end and what made him who he was.
Genius level composition.

Best Floyd album in my opinion
I must say I agree
The argument can definitely be made.
I do concur
definitely
You are not alone.
Animals is my favorite PF album. This is probably my favorite song on the album.
Same here! ♥️
This was a great reaction. I like the way you waited for the transition and then paused. Then you picked back up before the transition. A great way to handle the pauses.

Roger Waters*
@@derf2580 yeah I know. Voice program.
Jimmy Page.
@@renatopaulino5242 he is no vocalist. And still no better than Roger waters
Just another sad old man all alone and dying of cancer. Brutal.
Also, both David and Roger sing on this. David starts it and Roger picks up after the break. Depending on how you look at it, they could be thought of as playing two different characters that are responding to each other.
Correct. Roger starts from the line “Gotta admit, that I’m a little bit confused…”
Definitely different characters.
Agreed. I see the David sung parts as from the point of view of the corporate bigwig who has taken a young successor or apprentice under his wing, telling him how he has to live his life in order to become what he aspires to.

This album has topped The Wall and Dark Side for me for a long long time. This song might be my favorite Floyd song.
David Gilmour's voice and guitar skills are second to none but his sense of note progression is godlike
☺️👍
Guitar skills second to none? Are you deaf?
Not sure what you mean by that. Definitely not deaf and I have been a musician my whole life.
I guess I should have been more specific as there are many varied guitar skills.

No one can bend those notes like Gilmour. 🎸Greatest guitarist of all time!

Gilmour tells a story with his guitar solos
Totally love that you are digging this so much. Your mind looks blown. As it should be. Mine was when I first heard this so many decades ago. Great reaction as always.
This album more than any other Floyd album is all about the lyrics, especially Sheep. Probably Floyd's most cohesive and strong album.
I couldn't agree more, right on point 👍
I love the way you talk and how you think. It's the Pink Floyd's and Radiohead's of this world that keep hope alive.
I've seen this song bring a few people to tears, and I can't blame them; it's a powerful song.
Also, dogs are trained to perform and deliver results. Sheep simply fall in line and follow.
"You know how good it is" YES WE DO
this is my favorite song on the album. just so damn good.
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
🤘
Definitely agree
A really good album reaction would be In Absentia by Porcupine Tree
@@noor6668 he likes Pink Floyd, so i think he would also love some of the first PT masterpieces like The Sky Moves Sideways, Metanoia, Voyage 34
An absolute masterpiece one of the greatest pieces of music created. Listening to it on vinyl is great cause you get pigs on the wing and then this song takes up the entire remainder of the first side.
😊 nothing come close .. live they were something else.. best times ever
Dogs is one of Pink Floyd's greatest masterpieces! absolutely awesome!!

Yes! The drums, though perhaps not virtuoso, are so incredibly solid. Like with Rush, they are very important to the music.
Been listening to and experiencing Floyd for 40 years and still my favorite band of all time
Great reaction - Thank you!
I bought this record the day it came out - I didn't like it, posibly because I liked DSOTM and WYWH so much. I had to play it a good few times before I got it. Now I think it's my favourite PF album - I think of my PF albums as my children - (If it's possible to say which of your children you like best).
I actually brought it back to the Store. I told him it was Scary.
Favorite album by my favorite band 🔥🎶🔥
I flippin love this song sooo much
2 different singers on this song, Gilmour at the beginning and Waters in the 2nd half, one of the best Waters lyrics and just a great album period. Fits more in 2021 than it even did in 77.
Syd- whatta cool name you got there. Don't forget the live performance on Umma Gumma. God- like band
This has to be the shortest 17 minutes in all of music history. (But "I love how this guy sings"? There are two guys, y'know...)
Never get tired of watching the reaction of the drop! Listening to it since 77 still does it to me to this day what’s that tell you
David Gilmour is magic
Waters/Wright/Mason/Gilmour ...i was lucky to see them on stage...Timeless...you seem touched by the lyrics at the end..."who was..."
oh man! now this is my fav band! this is the stuff right here! glad you like it!
I went to this concert at the "Big A" Anaheim stadium. My second time experiencing them.
Just ran into your channel 2 years after the fact but I loved your reaction, you hit the nail on the head with your interpretation, this is my favorite pink floyd album, lifelong fan since 71, ok I'm old, by the way, great audio
"And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around " -- not to overstate this, but is this not one of the wittiest lyrics in R&R history?
Smart, deep and even rhythmic. What is it saying, anyway? That the power a politician has or once had that corrupted him cannot be done away with now? That he cannot undo the hurt he has caused others? Or and perhaps also that he has burned his bridges behind him, and if he attempted to burn down the harvest that he has sown, he would go up with the flames as well? Or is it that he loves the power that he accrewed over time and although he sees the rotten crop that has resulted from his ill-gotten gains, he will not and ultimately can not relinquish that power?

One of the most unique albums ever produced.
Your commentary is well done. Your pauses are well timed.
Edit : I see that you haven't made a video in over a year. And that you practice meditation and yoga.
These things are dangerous. There is a spirit world, but those in it are not benign or neutral. There is only good and evil in the invisible world. However, the evil beings are skilled in passing themselves off as good. As "children of light." I have prayed for you and your family members. The One True God -- the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- will draw you and yours to His Son Jesus Christ and reveal the Gospel to all of you. If He has not done so already. Please repent and believe on Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and the gift of eternal life.
Urban Shaman Love Gilmore's guitar style. I definitely see his influence in ADAM JONES' (TOOL) playing. These guys do more with fewer notes than Slash and Van Halen combined.
I believe Jones is a modern day Gilmour.
I’ve always thought Adam Jones’ sound was reminiscent of Gilmour’s, even in the heaviest of songs. Maybe not necessarily influenced, who am I to say, but definitely they’re two minds that think much alike that’s for sure. Two absolute legends
When people ask me to describe Tool’s sound, I describe it as a mix between Floyd and metal
Who is Slash in compars David?
Great reaction! This is my favourite Pink Floyd song, and that's saying something.
New sub and best reaction ever! You’re very respectful and much love and greetings from Illinois!
Animals is my favorite PF album! Could have something to do with the fact it came out the same year I was born... 1977 FTW!
Dark Side Of The Moon came out in ‘73…. 2 days after I was born.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this or any Pink Floyd ALBUM (not just a song) on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul!!!
I actually like animals better than dark side of the moon... when they released this album I remember in the store having large cardboard pigs hanging from the ceiling above the album dept
First time I ever heard this song I was 14 and the whistling in the middle section is what tripped me out the most. Most people don't notice it.
Dogs are the ruthless businessmen, Pigs are the polititians ruling the dogs...doing their dirty work and of course, the Sheep are the mindless masses that do as they are told by the Pigs and Dogs. Even though I don't enjoy it when reactors pause Pink Floyd's music, your pauses were justified and you spoke sense so all in all I really enjoyed your reaction.
Great reaction dude! Good to see someone that actually “gets it” Musically and lyrically.
Pink Floyd affects my mind's eye. Many reoccurring visions are fantasy images but, some are real memories & sights I have lived through to this music. One of my favorites. The scene I imagine when the whistling for the dog starts is a good one.
I was lucky enough to see them perform this in concert in 1977. It was in a place called The madhouse on McDowell where the Phoenix Suns used to play. They played all of "Animals" all of "Wish You Were Here" and half of "Dark Side Of The Moon" for their encore!!! And Gilmore must have been on steroids that night because he was ON, they were all ON and played perfectly!! I've seen them four times, once in 74 for the Dark Side of the Moon tour once in 87 and once and 94 for the Pulse tour! One important note: I made it a point to go to those concerts to see Pink Floyd totally sober! Trust me by the time you got out of the concert you needed to find the nearest fast food restaurant anyway!! 😉 I've seen about a hundred concerts in my life and those four were the top four!!!
I enjoyed reading your comments about your memories of seeing Pink Floyd Jon.
Brought back many great memories of my own with probably the "greatest touring act" in rock history.
I attended both nights, June 28 29 1977, at South Philadelphia's "Spectrum."
The second night was the famous,
"Roger Waters becomes ill, misses encores, but completes 1/2 of a song that would become a masterpiece", night.
That June 29th show was when Roger was having stomach issues and was injected with medication that made his hands "feel like 2 balloons".
He started writing, "Comfortably Numb" that night backstage. It would be on their next album, "The Wall", released 2 years later.
We knew something was wrong when, "Snowy White", the 2nd touring guitarist, played the bass for the entire encores.
I believe Dave's guitar tech played rhythm guitar, wile Dave handled lead.
That show was an 8 out of 10, the night before, on the 28th was a perfect 10 out of 10.
I haven't seen any concert since, that matches it.
Animals is a great album. Every bit as good as Dark Side and Wish You Were Here. Echoes (off Meddle) is great too and there are some great tracks on The Wall. No other band has really come close in my opinion.
I heard this album in a basement, one year after release, on a pair of headphones (the first I had ever tried) as a young teen, on a beanbag, high af. That one experience literally changed my entire life in regards to music and the vast resources of the human mind. To this day this album (particularly this song) still gives me chills of the very best kind.
Thanks for the vid man!, happened to me every single time I go back to those records, this song is just out of this world. I think Gilmour sings the first half and Waters the second!?, 🤯
After ANIMALS you MUST work through WISH YOU WERE HERE.
I have been looking forward to this :) and living in Sydney in 2021 in our 2nd lockdown, apart from getting the fuck out of said lockdown, it is nice to have other things to look forward to. This song is the exact of that however........ I have an affinity with this song that spans back over 31 years, so there is a lot of looking back happening, which is awesome. I still to this day remember the 1st time I heard Dogs. It, along with Sheep, would be among the most listened to songs of my life. ( keeping very good company with a tonne of Tool songs....).
I knew were going to love it, but we are only half way. I am interested to see how you take the middle part :)
oh also, you are so lucky to have what is coming for you! It doesn't matter when we find awesome music really, it is the fact that we have it for the rest of our lives that is truly awesome!
Peace
Urban Shaman are you kicking yourself for not diving into this LP sooner? LoL.
YES! haha
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 🤣😂🤣

One of the best songs ever.
A masterpiece.
Punk Floyd - that was the headlines when this album was released, probably Melody Maker
It's such an overlooked album (because it's not darkside 2.0), it's a shame. It was honestly one of the major precursors to the creation of The Wall. There was an infamous incident with Waters while touring Animals, where he has a meltdown on stage and spits at someone in the crowd. He said to cope with it all he used to imagine a big giant wall between him and the crowd when they would perform. Also, if you haven't checked out their album Meddle, you should. The final track "Echoes" is where you can here the beginnings of what would eventually become their "staple sound" (just before they made Dark Side), and is my personal favourite track of theirs.
Such a fantastic song and amazing album
Firstly I would like to say, great reaction. Yes this album is loosely based on the animal farm book by George Orwell. Yep I will be watching you react to the rest of the album 👌
First time watching you react. I appreciate your enjoyment of musical talent. You were born 30 years too late… I have a feeling.😎good thing it’s all available at a whim now. Different experience for sure compared to following these classic bands as they evolved through the 70’s and 80’s.
when i first heard floyd in 88/89 i was 11 time i hit 14 15 i had learn the basics of the bass guitar when you realy get into the theroy and complex structures melodic's i knew this music would stand the test of time late 80s 90s 00s 010s now 2021 thay still move ppls feelings sound freqenceys
Another Master piece !
WAUWWWWW.....so good and every time i listen i hear new MUSIC....
Nice reaction man..! Especially The video quality and ur comments, and react shine on you crazy diamond pt 6-9 pleasee
Favorite Floyd song
Great to see an intelligent person react to Pink Floyd, they are a very special band. Their music takes you on a cerebral journey, virtually with every song. Yes you're right about their production, it's off the charts man, especially in 1977! Everything was analog too!
There are restored and re-edited versions of their 1994 Pulse Concert, some of the finest performances of their songs that you'll ever see. Again, the production is flawless, the musicianship is flawless, the coordinated light show is flawless!
Some of my favorites are, 'Comfortably Numb',... 'Sorrow',... 'High Hopes',... 'Learning To Fly',... 'Money',.. 'One Of These Days',... 'Run Like Hell', and more.
I've been a Pink Floyd fan since 1975 when they released 'Dark Side Of The Moon', I was 17.
Totally agree. One of the best songs ever. My personal favorite
Wow! Pink Floyd and A Perfect Circle at the same time (two of my favourite bands) so much hype! :D
I think you should consider hearing Porcupine Tree next (for me they are the Pink Floyds of the 2000s) I am sure you will love them! It is difficult to choose but probably their best albums are the "In Absentia" and the "The Fear of a Blank Planet".
Urban Shaman Great album. Glad to see that you are listening to the entire album to get the full experience.
Genius song.
Truly appreciate the sincere reaction…
Keep following your path ….but somewhere along the way…
would really like to see you dive into the “YES” rabbit hole….(Close to the Edge) title track … And You And I…or would suggest Awaken, Heart of the Sunrise…Gates of Delirium…..
Thanks for the positive content!!!!
SO musical. So filled with SO many emotions.
I really appreciate that you don't talk over the music like others do. Thanks!
Orwell may have been a great Visionary and writer, but he's not exclusive! This whole concept album is timeless it's this relative today as it was decades or even centuries ago. History repeats itself. It does so mostly because those in control have always maintained control through deception.
🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
I’m 7 minutes in and I can’t wait for you to finish Pigs on the Wing Pt. 2 so you can immediately get incredibly stoned and just listen to this album start to finish without needing to say a damn word.
That groove in the middle with the dogs howling is just dirty
Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals are the Floyd Trinity for me.
My 2 cents. The album is heavily influenced by Animal Farm. Which is an allegory for the dangers of authoritarian communism. Waters took it an remiagined it as an allegory for the dangers of capitalism. Dogs represented the military industrial complex and the state in the book. In the song they represent capitalists. The pigs represent politicians and sheep are the masses. My interpretation anyway. Not only my favorite Floyd album but one one my all time favorites.
yo mate too lazy to check - did you do echoes already? pompeiiiiii version and H E Y ... DONT STOP GOOD OL' DAVE ANYTIME. very true reaction keep it up
Man! Luv it wen someone with intellectual awareness listens to 1 of tha' best Albums ever made. I see I'm @ little late to tha' party, Assuming u hv listened to all or most tracks frm ""Pulse Concert"" IF not it is @ MUST! ❤ Frm 🇬🇧 Xxx.
A fantastic reaction that stands out from many others. I would like to watch more reactions from you to Pink Floyd. You mentioned that you know The Dark Side of the Moon. So you don't know Wish You Were Here? You don't know The Final Cut? Meddle? The Wall? Division Bell? Momentary? Atom Heart Mother? All the solo albums? Oh! If you don't know all that you have the chance to go through a great jeurney.
animals is my fav PF album man
My favorite song of all time.
Awesome!
Great reaction man.
Gotta put Jethro Tull in your upcoming reactions.
Pink Floyd will take a minute, though.
Good video - Animals is my favorite Floyd LP.
Jethro F'kn Tull!!!
Best album ever. Great reaction.
by far my favorite pink floyd album
