FLAWLESS! First Time Reaction to Pink Floyd - "One of These Days"

[@Cadinho93]

"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" must be one of the best lyrics in a song without any lyrics. Also, Pink Floyd is not ahead of their time... They exist outside of time, timeless, immortal

[@thomasaquinas157]

Great point.

I also believe that it's Nick Mason's ONLY vocal contribution on the entire Floyd catalogue since they started out in 1965.

The show that I went to in 1994 in Columbus Ohio this is the song that ended the first half of the show. When the first explosion took place and the pigs came out. A guy behind us stood up and yelled "the F'ing pigs are going to kill us", and the ran out of the stadium! My uncle looked at me and told me never to take drugs!

[@geraldherrmann787]

''One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces'' is drummer Nick Mason’s only vocal contribution on Floyd´s classic studio albums.

[@louise_rose]

On the original studio recording it's a bit more buried in the mix, and if you don't know it's there you might not even notice it in the flow of electronic noise. I've known this song since I was around ten years old, and bought the Meddle album when I was fourteen, but it wasn't until several years later that I consciously noticed that there was a lyric there - before that I had just thought of that bit as "treated vocal grunts" without any words to them.

[@louise_rose]

@@garyanning9731 Mmm. :) This track could well be called "proto-industrial rock". - Even though I didn't notice the lyrics until after I had turned twenty, ,I think the sense of anger and frustration in the middle section of the track is something I registered early on.

[@normmcinnis4102]

Fun fact: Nick Mason fondly remembers when he played this song back in Pompeii, the film director had lost a lot of the footage of the other players, so what we get to see most was his drumming

[@ericeason7646]

I saw this show at the Pontiac Silverdome. My friends and I were 15th row, on the floor, stage right. When this song played I couldn't belive how intense the heat was from the flames lighting at the front of the stage. There were 80,000 people there. My friend, that I drove there with, and I got there late because the traffic was so heavy. The security was so tight in there and they checked your ticket about every 20 feet to make sure you were going where you were supposed to be. So, when we walked into the stadium, Shine On You Crazy Diamond had just started. By the time we got to our seats they just started playing the third song. To this day it is still the best, most mind blowing concert I have ever witnessed. I still occasionally wear the concert shirt I bought.

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction Stacey!! Nope - that's intermission! Set 2 was the live performance of the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album. What a way to end set 1! The concert opening track was Shine On You Crazy Diamond! My jaw was on the floor seeing this song's performance for the first time! They really ramped up the sonic bombardment over the studio version! Special note to Dave on this - yes, I love his 'knowing' smile during this performance - he's probably thinking 'oh boy, just you wait, we're going to go CRAZY!!' (in the most British way possible). And yes - that bassline is beyond fire! Cheers!!

This was the opening song for Pink Floyd at the 1972 Second British Rock Gathering, in Germersheim, Germany! And ever since, it is my favorite PF song! I don't drink coffee, so to get going in the morning I put this on and turn my amp up to 11! 😊 Glad you liked it....🎵

[@GomezFloyd]

The intro for the concert is called "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "One Of These Days" wraps up the first half of the night; then, "Speak To Me/Breathe" opens the second half and "Run Like Hell" is the grand finale. Indeed, "One Of These Days" is the first song of their album Meddle, tho. Considering you fangirling to David's glances and faces, I highly recommend also checking out "Remember That Night", "Meltdown Concert", "Live in Gdansk", "Live at Pompeii" and "Live in Wroclaw". All of those are concerts from his solo career.

[@maxgordon7186]

[@yeticusrex1661]

"One of These Days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces)" is from the Meddle Album over 50 years ago. When I first heard this song in my teenage years, this song sparked my imagination of an ongoing and bitter battle between an evil wizard and a vengeful barbarian who lost his woman to the evil wizard, where the battles always ended up in a stalemate between the two and they would retreat to heal and regain their strength, and battle again on another day. The bass at the beginning of the song is the barbarian mounted on his horse, with his wolf companion running by his side through the dust and wind (Richard's keyboards) of the plains, to get to the dark castle to face down the wizard who is inside. Meanwhile, the wizard is busy raising up an army of skeleton warriors with his necromancer spells (which is the sound of the Daves guitar, and Nick's drums) to defend himself and to defeat the barbarian. As the gate of the castle is breached, the barbarian shouts out, "ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!" and then the battle ensues between the barbarian and his wolf versus the wizard's skeletons. The wizard stays back behind the skeletons, weakened by the amount of magic he used to put up his defense against the barbarian. The barbarian sees his woman imprisoned (but ALIVE!) behind the wizard, and becomes excited, but also enraged that she has suffered for a long period of time. At this point, Dave's guitar, Richard's keyboards, and Nick's drums kick it up several notches to denote the epic battle as the barbarian and wolf fight hard against the skeletons and peeling them off one at a time (by each rollover of Nick's drums), until Dave's very last note where he finally dispatches the wizard with the last swing of his sword. I will leave the rest of the story to your own imaginations!

The instrument David is playing is called a "peddle steel guitar". It is used a lot in country music. Of course David Gilmour plays it amazingly. And the one line of words in this song is "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces".

[@karlrattray]

Nice reaction Stacey, The lyric is "one of these day's I'm going to chop you into little pieces" I saw them twice on the delectate sounds of thunder tour in 88 and they were just amazing. The drummer Nick Mason now tours with his own band A saucerful of Secrets who play old Floyd pre Dark side and this is off Meddle and I saw them last Wednesday when they finished with this. If you get a chance to see them then do as though not the full Floyd experience they are really amazing. Highlights for me were See Emily Play, Atom Hart Mother, Echoes and Set the Controls for the Hart of the Sun. They had also managed to lift Sid's vocals off a demo tape from an unreleased song from before they had a record deal in 1965 and with modem tech played Sid's vocal and they played the music.

Me...1994 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse NY...seated close to the stage, but off to the left side about 12 rows high...tapping on someones shoulder..."Um, you see giant pigs with laser eyes staring at us too....right?" Only could happen at a Pink Floyd show!!! 😂😂😂😂 I was only drinking and maybe breathing some concert aroma....with the lights and incredible music....I was starting to question what I was seeing! Those pigs were scary as heck from where I was sitting, the one on my side would have been in my lap if it didn't stop!!! At it keep looking around like it was looking for the person it wanted as a snack after "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little peices!" This was the first concert I ever left feeling like I didn't pay enough for the experience...don't recall the ticket price....but, I would have paid 10 times the amount and not felt like it was enough for the incredible memories.

[@mekonta]

The band were big fans of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's electronic music and sound effects output at the BBC that began in the late-1950s, early-60s. The Workshop were group of electronic engineers and mathematicians at the BBC that used old electronic machines, scientific reading equipment and anything to hand to create special sounds. They're most famous for the 'Doctor Who' theme, composed by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire back in 1963. Pink Floyd have said that the Dr Who theme really made an impression and influence on them in their early years that they incorporated a small section of the theme into One of These Days to pay homage to the theme, Delia and the Workshop and can be heard at the 3:35 mark.

[@paulgibson490]

[@glerp10000000000]

"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" A song about bacon. Not really. They used to have a sound tape of a British DJ, Jimmy Young, who used to talk and talk and talk trivial nonsense. They cut up the tape into sections and used it in concerts. That was the basis of the idea behind the title. The Doctor Who theme was later incorporated into it. The bass theme was Rogers idea, but when he was out of the studio, David recorded the bass parts for the record. The Pig was first used for the Animals tour, and used to fly out over the crowd on a wire. This was repeated for the Wall shows during Run Like Hell, and One Of These Days for the Momentary Lapse tour, when it was the first song of the second set. I was there for two of those gigs (! ) and at one of them, it was right over my head, dipping towards me. Quite scary. I was also at one of Earl's Court Pulse shows. The set list varied, some nights they played all of Dark Side Of The Moon. The night I was there, One Of These Days closed the first half. I was about a third of the way back from the stage and could feel the heat from the flame jets at the end. One of my top five concerts of all time.

[@2beans_and_a_bug]

Thank you Stacey for this. As a young teenager on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, circa 1979, I heard this song on the radio a few times, and fell instantly in love. It was a sound that I'd never heard before. Didn't know the name of it because, you know, wacky FM DJ's don't care about the music, just mindless gabbing. All I knew is that it was by Pink Floyd. And so, whenever I would get to the record store about 20 miles away, I would buy every Pink Floyd album they had just in the hopes of getting the one with this song on it. Finally I did, and that's how I got into the music of this band. So many great memories!

I saw Pink Floyd live at the Division Bell concert in Ames, Iowa, back in 1994. The line of cars to the stadium was never-ending, and it felt like we spent forever just trying to get close. We eventually found a spot near the venue, and by then, the party had already started. People were everywhere, smoking openly. To my surprise (and relief), the police decided to turn a blind eye (thank goodness). Inside, the stadium was decked out with massive inflatable pigs, The Wall hammers, and animated characters from the movie. Unfortunately, most of the concert is a blur for me... let’s just say there were so many joints being passed around that at some point, I forgot where I was. But wow, what an experience! The sound system was incredible-speakers perfectly placed to give this crystal-clear stereo sound, making you feel like you were literally inside the music. Now, here’s a side story: as we parked, I spotted a concert ticket lying face-up on the sidewalk. It was like fate! I had two tickets to Pink Floyd! Coming from Chile, I knew this would be my only chance to see them live since they never toured my country. So, I waited outside the stadium, holding on to that extra ticket until I found the right person to give it to. Right before the show, I saw this guy-heartbroken, in tears, walking around like he'd just lost everything. He’d dropped his ticket. I went up to him and said, “Hey man, here’s your lost ticket!” I’ll never forget the look on his face-pure joy and disbelief. We hugged, then walked into music heaven together. True story!

I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it and release like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice ❤

Not only was the Band, light show, Standard of Musicianship and outstanding compositions if ALL these Songs, but the PA was like a TOP CLASS HI-FI System AND in Quadraphonic, so there were Speaker at the Back of the Hall and each Side of Hall as well as sound coming from the front of you. The expectation we all had; the excitement we all had was like a bomb going off; there was no stopping this euphoria!! The Show we saw left us all exhausted with pure happiness and I'm sure this was the case every night. David's emotional Voice, Guitar Playing, Pedal Steel Guitar and Smile, just so infectious, but took ALL performer's to create such a wonderfully outstanding and never to be repeated Concert!!!!!asers

Forever Pig Could Fly

[@rickashworth7304]

Thank you Stacey, again... for another look at my favorite band! From their 1971 "Meddle" album, This was the last song of set 1... they opened the concert with Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Their blow up characters were always a surprising addition to their concerts. The stage engineers, from sound mixing, to lighting and special effects were always leading the way as far as "Putting on a Rock Show" was concerned! Lasers and lighting always contributed to the sonic "Voyage" they took us on! Don't know if they will ever be equaled! Please listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan perform "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo 1983... the greatest guitarist you will ever hear! One guy even says... "My guitar watches this video when I'm not home."

[@GeorgeBrunner-l1v]

At the Toronto "Pulse" concert, "One of these Days" was the last song before the break. They finished the concert with "Run like Hell".

[@Eric_L_Laney]

Great reaction as always! Run Like Hell was the last song in this concert. David said good night, and they all bowed to the audience.

[@KandaJE]

Youngsters always forget. The Pig is from the old saying - "I'll believe it when Pigs Fly". Well, Pig's now Fly! So Believe it!.

[@maihindess1]

“Pigs might fly”…And you’re right, today, pigs are flying all over the place..!

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks Stacey❤ Love your "former volleyballer" vibes! This is obviously from their earlier "experimental" works but carries a great melodic line that just F-ing ROCKS!! "Fun" is the word for the day!

[@ajdomer92]

Glad you loved this song! It’s one of my favorites from Pink Floyd. I love the slow burn you described. Watching Gilmour play calms my soul.

[@stevem-h3562]

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets band plays this as an opener. Mason's nearly 80 now and still out there touring, along with Guy Pratt (same bassist as this gig) and Gary Kemp formerly of Spandau Bellat on guitars and vocals. They do a pretty good job of it too.

[@kevinbossick8374]

When I saw them in 2019, they opened with Interstellar Overdrive, then into Astronomy Domine. What a start to one of the best concerts in years.

[@rosuobs3972]

Hi Stacey, me and a friend took two LSD trips each, (like you do) on the way to this concert, every time those blasts of smoke went off on stage you could feel the heat hit your cheeks it was a stunning effect, what a fantastic night we had off our heads, watching and listening to these master's showing us their 1st class talent, three cheers to you oo thanks

[@CATALDOGUARINO-mf5ii]

Grazie a te, e' un piacere ascoltarti,ancor più guardarti e condividere con te l' amore per i Pink Floyd e per la musica Rock.

I was one of the emensley lucky people to be at the Earls Court in London October 1994 Pulse Concerts..!! This was the last song of Set 1.. I was sitting in the top balcony on the left hand side looking towards the stage and the Giant 🐗 Boar/Pig was level with us on the balcony and we were about 50feet away from it as came out through the darkness halfway through the song "One Of These Days" and the lights/lazers coming out of its eyes were literally coming directly at us all the time..!! Every single song for the whole 2hours 20mins of the concert (ie) Set 1, Set 2 and the 20minute Encore was an absolute visual and musical MASTERPIECE..!! The lights, lasers, explosions, pyrotechnics, special effects and videos on the 50foot circular screen behind the band in the centre of the stage for every song was just MIND-BLOWING, Their wasn't one song in the whole concert that was done to PERFECTION, all the instruments were wired up in sync with the visuals (ie) each time a note was played with each different instrument the visuals like lights and lasers, holograms, special effects would be synchronised to go hand in hand with the music...!! I was 25 when I went to see Pink Floyd at Earls Court that night and even just over 30years later the concert still sends shivers down my spine when I think back to it or watch the DVD of the concert and I love watching people like you reacting to songs from the concert watching their music and performances for the 1st time it really puts a huge smile on my face..!! And then hear people reacting to the concert and saying that they are so jealous of the people who were there in the Stadium to see 'A MUSICAL AND VISUAL MASTERPIECE'...And makes appreciate how lucky I was to have been there in the flesh to see THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME WHO WERE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF TIME AND THEIR MUSIC WILL BE REVERED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME 🫶👌🥰🙏 One Word Sums Up Pink Floyd and their music and concerts and that is simply GENIUSES..!!

[@nraduazzo1]

I was there! Earsl court London October 1994 was amazing! 🎉

[@SPL3000]

I saw this concert in Mexico City and it was an outdoor venue (Foro Sol). There were some 60,000 attendants. The amazing thing was the sound, it was just as this video, clear, deep... pristine. I have not been to a better concert in all aspects.

[@vicprovost2561]

Great, galloping instrumental other than a couple lines of crazy dialogue, one of the most famous tunes from the pre Dark Side period. I saw this song live, twice by Pink Floyd and was blown away both times, the standing ovation after it was deafening. More Floyd! How about more pre Dark Side classics like Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun live T Pompeii? Killer version, that song is also a highly recommended track on the Ummagumma double album. Thanks again beautiful Stacey, starting the week off right! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎵

[@vicprovost2561]

Saw this live tripping on blotter acid with classic Pink Floyd, amazing...

[@d4mdcykey]

I can attest to the fact (4 times actually) that during their shows when this song started the entire stadium was vibrating and thudding from the speakers, combine that with the mesmerizing light show and for those of us in a certain state of mind, it was an experience without equal, nothing else is even in the same universe. These people (as a collective) know what they are doing, and most importantly, why they are there. Pink Floyd will live forever.

[@marke8323]

That was wild when they came out at the concert I saw, at the end they jump out and deflated on the ground. Side Note Gilmore has a new album and is going to Tour with it and I read that the Bass Player is the only former player that he is rehiring. Ya when Gilmore puckers up, he's workin' hard, lol

[@wxdave5448]

What you can’t tell even from the great mix done for the video, is the sound within the stadium. They had several speaker locations from to back and sound enveloped you and would move around, especially in this song. Was so surreal and wonderful.

Thank YOU for finding Pink Floyd, I had no idea that some people have never heard them before! Better late than never!👍✌️🥳

[@chanceem371]

I was at the PF Division Bell Tour concert in Denver, CO in 1994 at Mile High Stadium. It was quite similar to the concert at Earl's Court, recorded on the Pulse DVDs, only bigger and they played longer / more songs. They opened with Astronomy Domine, played all of the songs in the Pulse video and Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. I think the concert lasted over 3 hours, maybe 3.5 hours. The stadium was outdoors and HUGE. So the lights, lasers, effects etc. were more massive. There is no way to describe what it was like to be there - transcendent, emotional, intense, rapturous, ineffable. It was one of the absolute peak experiences of my entire life. PF has been my favorite band since 1973, when I was 10 years old, and David Gilmour my favorite guitarist. You should check out his solo work = EPIC! You articulate my feelings and thoughts about their music so well, and I love watching your reaction videos! It is great for me to see an intelligent young lady really connect, understand, experience and appreciate PF the way some of us old timers have for 50+ years. You are right - PF is unique, visceral, evocative and will never be duplicated. Nothing else comes close. Anyway, glad that you are enjoying your PF discovery journey. God Bless.

[@TrojanRabbit521]

I spent 6 hours dialing for tickets. We drove 8 hours to Houston. They played through a Texas thunderstorm with lightning hitting the skyscrapers around the stadium. Rain falling through the lasers added to the epic show. There was a possibility that acid could be found at the show… This concert and the Page/Plant tour were just a level above everyone else. As they say I’m old but got to see all the good bands.

Amazing, love this song...That was from the end of the first part of the concert...SO excited every time you react to Pink Floyd check out "yet another movie" from the delicate sound of thunder live tour back in 86-87...

[@MarcBrisebois-r7k]

The Floyd is the only band that I experienced a fully surround sound that totally compliments the visual experience.

[@Seven50ml]

Brings me back to a laser light show we used to have in Philly. The parts that i remember were great 😂

[@MarkSmith-xc2jh]

I was fortunate enough to see them live at the LA Coliseum on the tour before this (back in 1988). If you want to still see some live Pink Floyd songs, you can see Brit Floyd (a great Pink Floyd tribute band) live in tour now. I will be seeing them here in Reno this coming Sunday. However, if you want to see them at their best, in the best setting, they play Red Rocks every June (I’ve been fortunate enough to see them there 3x). They do a great job and play songs from PF’s entire catalog.

[@kevinbossick8374]

I was there as well. But the show that was even better, was at the L.A. sports arena. Also catch Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets band if possible.

Australian Pink Floyd is worth the visit. They nail Pinks sound and stage. Gilmour even showed up once to compliment them. They are still touring

[@ThomasKnip]

Ah, welcome again to the more psychedelic work of Pink Floyd. ^^ And I would say, Dave smiling at Rick, and him smiling back gives me that "Those were the days, weren't they...?" vibe.

[@drewbeees]

Keep the Floyd reactions coming please, I’m loving your journey of discovery 😀

[@Pru1PC]

The Delicate Sound of Thunder tour featured a giant FLYING pig with spotlights for eyes. It went out into the crowd and we all loved it!

[@kevinbossick8374]

It was right over me at the L.A. sports arena. Best seats ever. What a show.

[@chrisbree3467]

Just so you know Stacey, Floyd almost always "ends" their concerts with this song, but then come back for an encore and the show ends with "Run Like Hell". Not every show, but it was a pretty common pattern.

[@coffeemanandy1966]

This was the last song before the intermission, i was on the second row and at the end of this track it felt like we had been blown 10 feet further back from the stage - what an experience!

[@scribbles2112]

A friend of mine was the lighting tekkie he did all the lights on the Pulse Tour..... Awesome fantastic.. Job Dave

[@onasisfuentes9867]

I saw them at RFK Stadium, Washington DC 😎 The pig was from the animals album and they kept it as part of their band brand since.

[@johnroberthines7811]

You've hit the nail on the head Stacey with the Floyd audience the beginning cheers and whistles sitting an watch and listen then cheers again, that's what true fans do in the UK for a Floyd gig. At times people who don't know the rules stand up and are immediately told to sit down in no uncertain terms if they don't. I've been to many Floyd concerts in my 67yrs and only once a whole lot of the crowd started standing up they soon had the rest of the arena telling to effin sit down. 😂

[@postava6150]

I saw them at the Feyenoord stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Pulse tour was (is) the greatest show ever. Period. The whole experience was simply mesmerizing. I didn't even have to smoke a joint. Lol. This song was at the end of the first part of the concert. After that they play the whole Dark side of the moon. I've never seen a band play a whole record live before. They finished with Run like hell, which is what I intend to do now given this troubled world around us. I just don't know when and where to run. And I'm probably late already. "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."

[@syzygy21055]

Guy Pratt is the bassist, an all-world session player who has toured with PF and many other A list acts over the decades. He'll be with David on the Luck and Strange tour this fall as well. At one time he was Richard Wright's son-in-law.

[@kevinbossick8374]

He’s also in Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets band.

[@RockinMamaT]

One of these days was amazing live when I saw them. That and wish you were here blew my mind. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️

[@Macdelaven]

I prefer Pink Floyd in albums but this song is by far my favorite stand-alone Pink Floyd song. I remember blowing out my $100 Panasonic stereo system's right speaker when I was 12 in 1972. Great memories. I knew you would be excited by the bass. "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces."
