This was my favorite track on the 'Animals' album. Now......some 45 years later, I go back & forth between 'Sheep' & 'Dogs'. The album was released in 1977......and STILL sounds ahead of its time.
@@geraldherrmann787 I still go with Dogs on this album, but yea the whole album in its entirety and the messge are well strung together. so it is sometimes difficult. This also brings me to Dogs Of War off Momentary Lapse. Which no one seems to like(the album) i find it awesome as well. but to each their own
Homes, I was in the audience 1977 tour of the ANIMALS album, New York City , Philadelphia, Washington, DC.. That was the last time the album was ever played live. They despised playing it
Always love the “Dragged down by the stone” echo coming back into this song! Also, Rogers vocal tuning into a keyboard at the end of each phrase, KILLER SONG, KILLER ALBUM!!!!
That 12 string steel strat coupled with a one potato two potato beat....don t think that was ever done before....crazy DIG....wow!!! AND...spot on for 2022....CRAZY!!!! Always thought this was underrated.
They knew what had been going on and what was to come. The 'Great Awakening' baby, we take our power and freedom back. What a glorious time to be alive. Nothing can stop what is coming! Really enjoy your reactions to the masters that are Pink Floyd. Top stuff. 👍
23:32 interestingly! The Studio version is the best as You get all the instruments and layering of sounds. Once you have done that you can view the Live in Pomeii version.
@@bobmeomartino2069: Only a small glance at history will suffice to see just how well-trodden those corridors leading into the valley of steel really are. People seem to still meekly and obediently follow their leaders there.
Gotta give big props to a guy that listens to the whole ablum of Pink Floyd Animals ... You my friend, now know more music than most reactors ever will congrats ...
Man! Soooo happy you went back to ... THIS! I was waiting in line at the record store the day the first shipment of this LP came in. -- "What is that?" you ask? It's "Here boy" from Dogs! Yep. Most people don't notice. They hear the return of 'stone stone stone' but not the dog whistle -- BECAUSE SHEEP AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HEAR THE DOG WHISTLE. Get it? Genius. PURE Genius. Of course, there are the bookends on the album you might not have played - Pigs On The Wing. Part 1 before dogs & Part II after Sheep. They totally contrast with the 3 major songs.
Bro - the timing of your comment, "It's like a state of emergency!" could not have been timed any better with respect to the lyrics. The sheep, us in Roger Waters' eyes, were being led to the slaughterhouse FYI, Roger Waters was their lyricist, not Gilmore (he was lead guitar), and to complete the album, you MUST react to Pigs on the Wing...1 & 2. Love your channel, keep it going :)
I still remember when this album came out. Dropped a needle on it and I was stunned. To this day one of my favorites. I listen to it several times a year as well as Wish You Were Here, front to back.
Hello , how are you , I saw Pink Floyd doing this concert , Pigs 3 diff ones is my fave song , saw them in Chicago at Soldiers Field babe , so awesome , they had a few giant pig balloons , kept going back & forth above the Field & at end of concert , the pigs blew up & the whole sky turned Pink when we were leaving , badass , I wish you were there ✌🏽✌🏽
Hello from Cody Wyoming! I am so happy you reacted to this song (as well as pigs and dogs)! You can never go wrong with Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin that is all I have to say! You are awesome keep it up and please never stop🤠
Wish i had a dollar for everytime ive listened to this whole album,in Welllington,the hitaitai bus tunnel at 2 in the morning,set the tapedeck up in the srart of the tunnel,run 100 metres down and listen.BEYOND GOOD MY FRIEND.
@@TheBrian08 LOL...There's nothing ODD about humans not being able to change their minds. In fact, I'd say it is a particular human trait that people are closed minded and unable to accept new or challenging ideas...that includes me of course. We'reall human after all.
Pop each time I watch you,you look like your loving the floyd trip your only part way down the rabbit hole there's along way to go yet and listen to more fantastic music.in my humble opinion the greatest progressive rock band ever bar none enjoy,great reaction by the way.👍☺☺🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love this album - I could listen to it over & over 🔥🎶🔥 For something truly relaxing, listen to “Marooned” the only song they won a Grammy for. Then listen to the hour long loop here on YT to go to sleep by. 💤💤💤 I never make it to the end!
Hey handsome ! :) I bought all their albums when they first came out and still can't get enough of them, they always take you to another place, where you can vibe out and disconnect from the real world! Love to see you appreciating the best group that ever was... Really enjoy your company listening to tunes I love, keep up the good work! xx
The guitar in a section of this song reminds me of Optimistic Voices, from the Wizard of Oz. "You're out of the dark, You're out of the night, Step into the light". That's funny too, because you can play Dark Side of the Moon with the movie, and it is pretty synced up.
I've really enjoyed watching your reactions to the sounds of my teenage years. From 1974-77 I went to concerts by Pink Floyd (twice), Yes, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (twice) backed by a 60 piece orchestra at one venue. I still listen to all of them, and Yes just release a new album, so if you're still doing the reactions we may hear a new Yes song together, which would make my day. I haven't gone thru all your vids but if you never heard "School" by Supertramp give it a go. And one more Pink Floyd you may not have heard. The title is "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict", yes, that is the complete title of the "song" I put song in quotes because I guarantee, even though you've heard a lot of Floyd, you ain't never heard nuthin like this. Zalmo
just think about most of the people that surround us on a daily basis...the sheep. and this was in the 70s, but as 'new' as it was when it WAS new...great album. great message. band that cant be matched! Love the reactions and appreciation you can have for it all now. Keep up the great work man!
You're really getting into your Floyd now Pop, and I'm enjoying your journey along the righteous path. Suggest you go back to the Pulse concerts for a live version of Wish You Were Here. You'll wish you were there, like I was. hahah
I’m so glad to see you exploring YES and Pink Floyd so deeply, Pope. It’s very clear that you both like it and get it. Here is a song Roger Waters (PF bass player) did with the Wounded Warriors Vet group. G E Smith, former SNL bandleader, is playing guitar here too. If you’re looking for something sad an moving yet hopeful, this is a great listen. The vocalist is one of the wounded wariors. ua-cam.com/video/yaU_JbkUvBM/v-deo.html I think it is a brave performance, the performance of a lifetime.
the story about that flying pig over the power station is so funny: somehow at the video shoot, the line broke releasing the pig which went over the Heathrow's airspace so all incoming and outgoing air traffic had to be canceled for hours, later the pig was found many miles north on a farmer's field
There are 3 basic rules when you ´re hearing a PF sound.. 1.Check the lyrics and the context before,there´s no other band telling you a story like then; 2.At least for a moment,close your eyes,this is not just music,is an entire experience; 3.Never,ever interrupt a David Gilmour solo,you will miss something. Enjoy...✌cheers from Brazil
Check out Rainbow and the song stargazer. The singer Ronnie James Dio maybe the goat. Started with Rainbow then sang for Black Sabbath /Heaven and Hell then had his own band Dio all were great. R.I.P Dio
Wave after wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm If that's not about something in this day and age I don't know what is....
There are two more songs besides the three that you reacted to. "Pigs on the Wing - Part I" ... and ... "Pigs on the Wing - Part II". Both are short about 3 minutes long each. Those two songs can complete this particular journey for you.
Describes the world's population during covid even though written 45 years ago .But unfortunately they won't rise up against the tyranny , instead do as they are told and believe what the TV news tells them. Pink Floyd are geniuses in writing timeless music that is relevant today still. Cool reaction
🤣 In Echoes I swore they 😳 recorded 🐳 Whales underwater 🙄 and you couldn't convince me otherwise. 🤦🏿♀️ Then you see Dave Gilmour play 🎸 and go 🤷🏿♀️ ok, so it's not a recorded whale... 😏 Not even joking! 🐰
They did cows with atom heart mother! And what about "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict."? I think that is the longest song name ever.
Say I saw them do that twice ,numero2.Fking unreal with plenty of draw, and some other licentious substances in normal parlance Acid last time Itripped,so made it a good one,took my Rasta freinds who thought they were in heaven with Jah what times,to look back on.
Musically a 1000x yes if you mean production, playing ability and songwriting but at the end of the day music is what you like man, I’m sure their are people out there that hate this shit.. and that’s on them. But I love rap and hip hop as well, been a fan of currensy and Freddie gibs since I was 12 years old.. 26 now.
Led zeppelin blocked worldwide. No one will have a desire to buy a record of something they know nothing of. Pink floyd on the other hand will survive being always identifiable and relevant . Good job blockers. Who was that band? Something about zeppelins, maybe a band from the great war. O well Flip that pink floyd album over. It's awesome..
Now you know why most people wear Pink Floyd t-shirts, only a few have actually listened to them. You've been doing your research, you need to wipe the stores ASAP.
The single best reaction to this video that I've seen yet, and I've been watching Pink Floyd for almost 50 years! Welcome.
The best head music ever made!
This was my favorite track on the 'Animals' album. Now......some 45 years later, I go back & forth between 'Sheep' & 'Dogs'. The album was released in 1977......and STILL sounds ahead of its time.
same goes for me, though most times dogs wins. but the sheep outro is such a spectacle.
@@geraldherrmann787 I always picture a bunch of cartoon sheep happily bouncing around the hillside, when I hear that outro.
@@geraldherrmann787 I still go with Dogs on this album, but yea the whole album in its entirety and the messge are well strung together. so it is sometimes difficult. This also brings me to Dogs Of War off Momentary Lapse. Which no one seems to like(the album) i find it awesome as well. but to each their own
@@195511SM happily bouncing into the meatgrinder ...
All things being even ... I think this is Pink Floyds best album ...
When I was a kid this album scared me. I don't know why. I brought it back to the store. I was too young I guess. Very mature themes.
It did what it was supposed to
"It just makes you think."
Perfectly describes Floyd.
Homes,
I was in the audience 1977 tour of the ANIMALS album,
New York City , Philadelphia,
Washington, DC..
That was the last time the album was ever played live.
They despised playing it
Always love the “Dragged down by the stone” echo coming back into this song! Also, Rogers vocal tuning into a keyboard at the end of each phrase, KILLER SONG, KILLER ALBUM!!!!
The best of the best in Rock music!!!
For what it's worth, "Animals" makes great road trip music.
Better get some Zeppelin and Skynyrd if you're going for a roadtrip
@Carl Neoh Got some Led Zeppelin.
CCR
an obscure masterclass in rock history, an anthem for present day.
Animals is perhaps my favorite PF album and Sheep is perhaps the best song on the album
Pink Floyd is one of the best bands my guy.
That 12 string steel strat coupled with a one potato two potato beat....don t think that was ever done before....crazy DIG....wow!!! AND...spot on for 2022....CRAZY!!!! Always thought this was underrated.
....i Pink Floyd
sono di un'altra categoria.......
The Bass! My god the Bass! Every album was a masterpiece!
They knew what had been going on and what was to come. The 'Great Awakening' baby, we take our power and freedom back. What a glorious time to be alive. Nothing can stop what is coming!
Really enjoy your reactions to the masters that are Pink Floyd. Top stuff. 👍
You need to do Echoes!! It's about 26min and a crazy ride. Studio version definitely.
Then live at Pompeii, 1971, parts 1 and 2.
Album version first! And let the trippy interlude carry you away :)
An play wiff ur seff, ha har.
23:32 interestingly! The Studio version is the best as You get all the instruments and layering of sounds. Once you have done that you can view the Live in Pomeii version.
This is Roger singing this one. This is the number one band for watching reactions.
I didn't realize the valley of steel was a slaughterhouse factory, when I first heard this.
I was today years old when I found this out...

Only a small glance at history will suffice to see just how well-trodden those corridors leading into the valley of steel really are. People seem to still meekly and obediently follow their leaders there.
Waters always provided the cutting edge . An absolutely brilliant track . As a teenager in the seventies , they changed my life !

You know what good music is
Bro, you have been selecting some rock masterpieces!!
one of the best lyrical lines wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity and into the dream
one of the best intros in music full stop
SHEEP IS A BOP.
I swear those drums at the end, have me out of my skin.
amazing album
I remember buying this on 8-track cassette when it was new.
THATS QUADROPHONIC SOUND BABY🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cool to see young people just discovering these awesome sounds. Thanks for the video bro!
thank you!!🙏🏿
I feel so fortunate to have grown up with this music. Outside of my family & friends, music like this is the biggest part of my life. 💙
The pulse version of money is brilliant

Hey Pope- hanging in there! We notice how solid you are- and good on you for it. Zep and Floyd-YES!
YES, more please.
The concept of sheeple encased in a blowaway acid rock song. Only Pink Floyd could and would do this. Is fantastic, yes?

The Beatles are highly over rated, especially compared to the creativity (both sonically and lyrically) of Pink Floyd!!!

The name Pink Floyd is a combination of the first names of two black American bluesmen named Pink Anderson and Floyd Council
The 6min mark of this video is still one of my Favorite Floyd moments besides Echoes like 17-18min mark. Great video
Seems like they just made this album because of its relevancy to whats going on, with our world today
Read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. This album was inspired by the book.
My man. Great reaction.

Sheep: Covid: the lyric… “You better stay home and do as you’re told”. Very prescient, Roger, from 45 years ago.
lol
This and Dogs are incredible
This is my favourite......I think. I'm never quite sure
Love your reaction brotha YOU FEELIN IT.. as you should:)
David’s guitar I’d off the chain! Sometimes frantic, other times, like the strings are getting ripped off the neck!!!!

everyone has different rules, but a p f fan should agree on at least your 1,2,and3. WellDone!
Lol... good lil boogie at the end there bruh. Still a phat track to me and a mad outro.
I see Pink Floyd - Sheep, I subscribe!
Sheep is Biblical
Try granchester meadows,ummagumma.yeaaaah boy.
Now I hope you listen to the rest of the Close to the Edge album. The 2 songs remaining are great.

Swing and a miss. It's about unfettered power in politics and corporations. It's relevant to both sides of the political spectrum...not just yours.
The sheep got revenge on the farmers at the slaughterhouse. Or something like that.
🤣 In Echoes I swore they 😳 recorded 🐳 Whales underwater 🙄 and you couldn't convince me otherwise. 🤦🏿♀️ Then you see Dave Gilmour play 🎸 and go 🤷🏿♀️ ok, so it's not a recorded whale... 😏 Not even joking! 🐰
LOL…I thought the same thing. But back then before videos we used our imagination (until we were old enough to go to concerts).
@@lynnhoffmann247🤭 It slays me most 1st time listeners hear a song with a video. Never even get the chance to use their imagination. 🐰
Hope you took the time to listen to the album in a hole... If not you might miss a lot. Love this song! And (associated) 'Dogs' of course... ;)
WKRP Pink Floyd, Dogs.
"Don't touch that"
"Are those dogs on that record?"
"Uh-huh"
Fantastic.
Sadly......this COULD have been a double-album......if they had only included some tracks for chickens, horses & cows.
They did cows with atom heart mother! And what about "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict."? I think that is the longest song name ever.
And hamsters!
Very political album. Pigs represent politicians. Sheep represent people. And dogs represent police and law enforcement. Wow.
