Richard Wright is so underrated as a keyboardist... Everyone raves about David Gilmour and for good reason, but if you listen closely you can hear all the nuances in the background that is Richard filling out the overall sound.

[@bluebadger]

But not by David Gilmour. All the great music comes from those two. I think it's true that when Rick died David said that he would never play Echoes agaijn

[@johnroberthines7811]

Rick has always been known to be the backbone of the band by Floyd fans

My girlfriend and i used to love this alulm we fell asleep to it in each others arms so many times ,she died when she was 25 , I have not listened to this album since , i just couldn’t do it alone ,or with anyone else without becoming a blubbering wreck so i just avoided it ….Damn .that was 35 yrs ago!!!! ,Watching you discover Pink Floyd, i knew the inevitable would come …..so without even knowing, You have helped fill a hole in my heart, i knew was there but couldnt face repairing it ,listening to the albulm in parts has helped loads because well everyone knows Floyd =concept albums ,so one song at a time ,I had never thought of that , Thankyou , funny thing is i still rememeber all the little subtle changes and nuances and echoes ,and all the words like it was yesterday…..❤‍🩹

[@mattcarson8616]

My advice to every young person. Put this CD in a player or download it. Turn out the lights, turn off your phone, lay down, close your eyes, put on a pair of real headphones, turn off your senses except your ears and mind and just lay there and listen. Feed your mind, learn some patience and anticipation, turn off all the things that don't matter for 45 minutes and enjoy an album the way we did when it came out. Realize your mind doesn't have to dart around to new topics, sounds, images, input every 35 seconds. Once it is over, all that stuff will still be there waiting for you, but maybe you won't care quite as much.

[@Jamie_McGill]

i could see your tears welling up toward the end,and i was right there with you. the last couple of minutes are probably richard wright's most beautiful playing in any pink floyd song.

[@philshorten3221]

The very last few bars Richard plays on the keyboard is the riff from the much earlier Syd Barrett Pink Floyd hit "See Emily Play" The perfect way to end this track❤

[@by_the_stone]

And to end on a major chord where the whole part IX was in minor gives it so much hope and positivity. It says the diamond will shine forever.

[@Dan-nj8du]

Also an excellent song suggestion for Stacy to experience the Syd era Pink Floyd.

[@philcantrell9760]

As the saying goes ‘A band greater than the sum of its parts’ ❤. Nick’s drumming is so underrated

[@davsaltego]

[@kevgardiner4852]

I agree people need to watch pink Floyd live at Pompeii to see what an exceptional drummer Nick is.

[@jonathansmith3742]

Louder Than Words!

[@StephaneSmarties]

Dear Stacey, it is very moving to see how truly overwhelmed you were by a flood of sadness and how you resisted holding back your tears while listening to part 9 of this masterpiece. It is obviously a kind of farewell to someone dear and I always thought it would be very moving music for a funeral. Thank you for this very touching reaction video.

[@willykruijntjens7172]

I totally agree!

[@LikesPinkFloyd]

It was more of a farewell than any of them had planned. While they were working on the final mix of this album an overweight man with a totally shaven head, including eyebrows, showed up in the studio. It was Syd. His appearance had so changed that it took a while for the remaining band members to realize that this stranger was Syd. Both Roger and David had known Syd since grade school, and they were reduced to tears. Nick's book includes a picture of Syd from that day. It was the last time any of them ever spoke with Syd.

[@gatuv9]

this instrumental intro is probably one of the best intros of all time

[@luiscarlosdeoliveira7638]

The crazy mind of Syd Barrett is the root of the strange and magic Pink Floyd's music. Without Syd, we would not have Pink Floyd.

[@zzjitterzz]

Part IX was primarily written by Rick Wright, and it's my favorite section of the whole song. In fact, the more I listen to Pink Floyd, the more I've come to really appreciate Rick's music. He also did "Celestial Voices," which is the last part of "A Saucerful of Secrets."

[@ALong-fo5so]

So true. Rick’s contribution is immeasurable. Totally Love it when he adds those jazzy chord extension voicings on the electric piano.

[@nedelchonedelchev876]

Interesting fact is that David Gilmour supported Syd Barrett financially until his death. Genius on the guitar and true friend with big heart!

[@RushfanUK]

David was friends with Syd before Floyd, they were at college and played guitar together there and went busking in France.

[@robertmartin8565]

Not true, Gilmour made sure that Syd received his royalties.

[@ChrisFreund-rt8rf]

The entire band took care of Syd and his family.Even after Syd left us.

[@danielkinn782]

Shine on You crazy Diamond...SYD. This just some of the most beautiful music ever created. It takes you places and gets you in the feels. I've listen to this album 1000s of times and it's the same amazing experience every single time.

[@scifimonkey3]

I still remember slitting the black plastic shrink wrap cover and the smell of it as I slid out the white album cover. never did I ever drop the needle with as much anticipation and never was that anticipation so completely fulfilled. Notwithstanding how good DSOTM is WYWH has always been my favourite Floyd album. After Richards death it has taken on an even more important meaning as it is probably his best work.

[@420since1974]

Both David Gilmour and Richard Wright stated that WYWH is their favourite Pink Floyd album.

[@alanmitchell7207]

Stacey, I love experiencing your reactions as you have the Pink Floyd experience for the first time💕 Beautiful💕

[@rremington3983]

Your prognosis of this song is spot on, you nailed it. It’s so great to share this with you, you’ve injected new life into a song I’ve been listening to for the last 49 years, beautiful!

[@DougBrown-h1n]

My favourite Floyd album - it's such a complete piece of work. The more you listen "in" to it, the more you realise how much is subtly going on. They were truly master of the sonic arts.

[@iambecomepaul]

The lyrics in “Nobody Home” (The Wall), “I’ve got elastic bands keeping my shoes on…” and “I’ve got a pair of Gohil’s boots…” (they were yellow) are directly a reference to Syd (Roger’s recollections). Barrett ricochets throughout the Floyd, decade after decade, song after song… mostly as a ghost. Poor lad.

[@jswimeaden2365]

I saw a documentary about Pink Floyd ages ago, and one thing always stuck with me when they were talking about this song: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond was not just a bunch of old hippies bemoaning their youth, they were bemoaning somebody that they genuinely loved."

[@jurgenschmidt2759]

Interestingly, it was Syd's "replacement", David Gilmour, who was the one who helped him the most with his solo projects.

[@jswimeaden2365]

[@DaddyDoom]

The level of cosmic inspiration and sheer creativity that still permeates, almost 50 years later after being recorded is mind blowing.

[@Upe-f9c]

The way they take their time to build up and create the feelings just gets you totally immersed.

[@fbiagent6294]

Syd actually showed up in the studio while the band was recording HIS tribute. He had completely shaved his head, including his eyebrows. The band didn't recognize him at first. I think Roger was the first to realize who he was and started crying uncontrollably. Check the interviews of the band. They are very interesting.

[@Tenshinhan21]

It’s not about being right or wrong. Once you truly feel something, it’s always right. I really loved your reaction to this masterpiece 😊

[@thanosmat]

The ending of this songe is very powerful. Convery perfectly the sentiment of sadness and goodbye without a single word

[@hakkinen3k]

Absolutamente.

[@noquarter9700]

The last notes are from a song written by Syd :)

[@DeathToTheDictators]

Fun fact: Syd actually (out of nowhere one day, very ominously) showed up in the studio while they were recording this album...they said it was good to see him again, but they felt sad after because his mental and physical health had declined further, and he no longer resembled their old bandmate at all.

[@balthazartrumpi6808]

You have one song left on this great album, and that's the stunning Welcome To The Machine. Hope you can get to it soon.

[@andyo3689]

Imagine being in a band rocketing to fame. Then, your singer, your primary songwriter, becomes so wildly erratic that his presence threatens Floyd's very existence. Old friend David Gilmour is brought in to help onstage and to cover during Syd's frequent absences. It was a combination of him disappearing and the need to keep going. Eventually David replaces Syd and the band carries guilt and relief. The Floyd recovered but never got over what Syd's absence felt like. You have this DIAMOND that was so brilliant and then the diamond becomes a lump of coal.

[@z-man2343]

Another beautiful, heartfelt reaction from this very lovely lady. The Floyd had a very unique gift of conveying so much emotion without saying (singing) a word, and I enjoy watching others, like Stacey, who not only get it, but also feel it so deeply.

[@endapian]

The last part n°9, played by Rick on the keyboard is a master piece, so sad ...... and so respectful for Syd.

[@robertevans2450]

This composition was morphed into what it is after Syd made his presence in the studio, but what is often forgotten is that the composition existed before Syd's return. When they came to the studio, they had an album's worth of music they had worked on doing European shows after the Darkside of the Moon tour. Most of what they brought to the studio was shelved for the Animals album, but a great deal of music made it through the selection to exist in the Wish You Were Here album. There are a lot of parts, parts that are from past tracks, past solos, and past live versions, but arranged and added to in order to get the tribute they were looking for after Syd's visit. During that visit, David said once he realized it was Syd, they had a conversation in which Syd showed him a musical riddle, and told him to let him know when David finds the solution...the myth goes that either the solution is in the track or the riddle is, and the other is in the Animals album. If I ever get a few moments with David, I will ask him what the truth is. After hearing this album and the Animals album, you can relate to why Roger was disappointed with Rick's work on The Wall album, but also see David's position that handling it the way Roger did was too far out of line, and entirely selfish of Roger. Rick was a master keyboardist, master musician, and master composer, and his work is forever going to be missed, all while we admire what he blessed us with while he was here.

[@osmanyldran4363]

Part 9 is a masterpiece. A farewell knowing he will never shine again..

[@CurtisKerr-y6x]

It’s one thing to get on the guitar and shred but it’s another to make your solo sing and be so integral to the the song in whole. It’s a beautiful thing.

[@DerekPower]

Finally ... it is best to listen to Wish You Were Here as an album to get the complete experience: so Shine On (parts 1-5) then Welcome to the Machine then Have a Cigar then WYWH and finally Shine On (parts 6-9). It was split in this way because the combined length of Shine On was greater than a single playing side of a record. But it also provided a nice flow with the other songs as the entire album is part tribute to Syd, part commenting on the feeling of "absence" and particularly after the success of The Dark Side of the Moon, part commentary on the record industry (especially in Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar).

[@hazy5340]

Syd was Syd - Thats it! Loving your Pink Floyd journey Stacey - much much more to hear - Stay safe Pal............

[@KenPassey-hd2mc]

I'm now 77 First saw Floyd in 1967. The whole LP was dedicated to Syd. He unfortunately succumbed to the perils of too much LSD coupled with underlying mental health issues. He was a true innovator. Try their first album Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Dave came later and took the band to another level.👏👏❤️

[@SuHo-bp1iy]

Stacey, I strongly suggest you have a look at "In Any Tongue" from David Gilmour's Live at Pompeii 2016 concert. I saw him live in Rome last week!

[@jamesanderson5268]

The solo on the official video is much better. David makes his guitar sound like it's screaming in pain.

[@fcocartin]

Hey! I just wanted to thank Stacey for the amazing reaction to Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett's surprise visit to the Pink Floyd studio during the "Wish You Were Here" sessions is one of those legendary moments in rock history for me. On June 5, 1975, Syd unexpectedly showed up at Abbey Road Studios while the band was working on what would become “Shine on You Crazy Diamond.” By this time, Syd looked quite different-overweight, with a shaved head and eyebrows. The experience was emotional for everyone involved and added a layer of poignancy to the album. Nobody recognized him in the studio until the news broke, and everyone was in tears, as David Gilmour puts it. It's a powerful reminder of the impact Syd had on them and the music world, even after he left the band. You can feel it in the final mix, which is the album. “It was a great loss, and to just imagine what he could have gone on to do is speculating, if you like, but he could have been so great!” - DG, 2001. There's a picture of this moment, just one of Syd. Thanks again! Can't wait for the next reaction! Cheers! Oh, and I forgot to mention that Syd has two albums as a solo artist, one is "The Madcap Laughs" and the second one "Barrett". Make sure to check those out too! Some of those songs were made with the help of Roger and Dave ironically, producing and playing bass. Thanks again!

Thanks for doing this, it's a part people unfortunately tend to overlook.And if there's ever a time to cry to music, part 9 is it. It's such a dirge, so heavy and weighty and full of sorrow, and yet when it ends on the major chord I always get a feeling of peace and optimism, the whole experience ends up being a real catharsis.

[@kallsop2]

Its really funny, the first time I heard this album was in 1978 on a program on a rock station where I lived and on Sunday evenings that had the "The Unclassic Album Hour" where the DJ played an album that hadn't gotten a lot of attention. I had knew about DSOTM, but did not know the story. A week or so later I heard Animals while riding in a friends car and had to go get it. I sat down and listened to all three in order and had been told about Syd. I sat and listened to them several times and going over the lyrics and the light bulb went off in my head. In early 1979, I heard an interview with Roger Waters on BBC radio, a friend had a short wave radio and that how we got the BBC in the US, and they were discussing the upcoming release of The Wall in late 1979. I spent the better part of the weekend listening to all four in a row and it was fantastic. My parents bought me a nice set of headphones for Christmas in 1979 so I could keep my listening enjoyment to myself.

[@unclefuggly7149]

I offer you a great idea: Do the entire "The Wall" album but break it up fourths. Do an album side at a time.

I've always been a fan, I've been to Cambridge to Sid and Pink's favorite pub "The Anchor". I saw the 1988 and 1994 tour in Rome. Again in Rome Gilmour and three months later Waters all in 2006. Mason in July this year and again a few days ago on October 3 Gilmour at the Circo Massimo again in Rome! At 78 years old David is still from another planet! Exciting concert! Shine on Stacey...❤️

Wore the vinyl out of this one as a homesick kid spending a year in Australia ... Come on you miner for truth and delusion and SHINE. Have always loved Floyd's message that you don't have to surrender to a corporate stereotype to make your way. Be excellent at what you do, be yourself, and the rent will get paid. So keep doing that, Stacey, another great pick.

There are some pretty interesting pieces of music on both albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, showing that genius and madness were very closely connected for him.

To me, this is Gilmour's most emotional soloing of his career. His playing in the beginning part just takes me on a ride through sorrow, joy, longing, pain and resolution. I love them and was fortunate enough to see them twice shortly after Roger Waters departed the band for good in the mid to late 80s , I think it was. Both amazing shows, of course!!

Yes, it's a masterpiece. The entire album is a masterpiece. Others may disagree, but for me, the Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here were, taken together, the very apogee of the arc that was Pink Floyd.

[@triadmad]

As a cat person you may understand. 27 years ago, my little buddy boy, Max passed away way too young, at only 13 years. Not long after, I popped my "Wish You Were Here" cd into the computer. The opening lyrics to Parts I-V hit me hard. "Remember when you were young, You shone like the Sun" "Shine on, you crazy diamond" "Now there's a look in your eyes, Like black holes in the sky" "Shine on, you crazy diamond"... I started bawling like a baby, because that summed up Max, the best kitty anyone could ever have. His presence kept my sanity through a very tough time in my life, and I'll be forever thankful for the decision to pick him out of a room full of kittens back in 1984.

[@mgordon1100]

Is that your cat, Max, in your photo? My Siamese cat, Max, passed away about 20 years ago at the young age of 11. He was my best friend, always following me around wherever I went in the house. He was very talkative, and sometimes I felt like he understood English. I'm very sorry to read about yours. I understand.

[@triadmad]

@@mgordon1100 Actually that's Dinsdale, who passed away last year. Max was a Siamese convincingly disguised as a typical black and white kitty. He was very much like your Max. When I came home from work, he'd sit and tell me in a very conversational tone all about his day. On the day that he passed, he laid out all the instructions I'd need to live on without him. When he stopped talking, I knew it was over.

[@mgordon1100]

@triadmad They are so smart. When I first started coming home for lunch, he got excited. That didn't last long because he figured out that I would be leaving in an hour, but then he knew I was home for good later after work. He'd wake me up every morning for work and let me sleep in on weekends. He just knew it was the weekend.

Speaking of Syd, here’s a piece of trivia for you before Pink Floyd was known as Pink Floyd. They were known under a different name. They were set to go on stage in the mid 60s and they noticed that the band that had just played before them was also called the tea set, which was also the name of their group at the time, so behind the curtain backstage, they had to come up with a new name Syd Bartlett saw the names of two. Piedmont bluesman on some liner note of an album, those names were pink Anderson and Floyd council. And Sid said tonight we are the Pink Floyd sound. And later on the name was shortened to just Pink Floyd, and both of these gentlemen were African-American blues singers, and the rest is history. Not sure if you knew anything about this. Just wanted to pass it on many people wonder where the name came from by the way which ones pink just figured I would share that info

It is impossible not to like PINK FLOYD unless you have an absence of feelings, PINK FLOYD was a Band that accompanied several eras on the evolution of the Human being's state of mind, and sometimes ended up victim of the moment, as was the case with Syd Barrett , after his absence and due contribution from the remaining elements (shine on you crazy diamond) It's the best story that can be told through music, it has a beginning, middle and end, I don't know of another band capable of elevating us to such diverse states of mind in the themes they address (maybe TOOL).approaches, .... I like your reactions, I understand that you can't let yourself be carried away by the total COURSE of emotions, ... but PINK FLOYD forever .

For your Syd era Pink Floyd I recommend “Astronomy Domine” from the first album Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (first track) & “Jugband Blues” from their second album Saucerful Of Secrets (fittingly the last track, & the last of Syd with the group). Shine On! Stacey 💎😎💎

I keep bouncing between this album, and dark side, for favorite Pink Floyd album. Today, it’s this one ❤

Syd Barrett only played on the first PF album, 'Piper at the gates of dawn' released in 1967. This was very different to what followed, highly experimental, but is probably one of the most influential psychedelic albums recorded. Syd Barrett set the direction for PF, and they developed his influence. Ultimately. Pink Floyd did for psychedelic rock what The Beatles did for Pop, and it all started with Syd.

Pink Floyd's first album is The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and it's one of the best psychedelic albums of all time. Syd had a really strong part in creating all of it, might as well start with the first song Astronomy Domine and get spaced out Stacy!

I was mesmerised by this album back in 1975 when I bought it and brought it home to listen to. I was afraid that my parents would chastise me for playing this type of music but they were bemused and accepting of it. PF have always been my favourite band. Actually one song I loved and was fascinated by in the 60's was See Emily Play. Little did I know then that the band was Pink Floyd and that I'd be listening to every album of theirs through the years.

Damn I’ve been waiting for this for so long, I liked it without even watching it haha

[@Sweden2023]

That was a great reaction - thank you!

[@Rafi-s5x]

Thank you for this reaction. This is a very special song for me. As it was my gateway to the Pink Floyd experience. Got me hooked👍

Wonderful Stacey, such a funky yet mournful outro....Live 8 Pink Floyd reunion in 2005 is a must see/must react. Full set is about 20 minutes. Pink Floyd songs with Syd I'd recommend are See Emily Play (Richard plays a piece of the melody at the end of Shine On), Arnold Layne, Astronomy Domine, Lucifer Sam and Jugland Blues
