Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing Pink Floyd - DARKSIDE OF THE MOON FULL ALBUM REACTION

Reacting to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety is quite an experience. From the moment the album begins with the iconic heartbeat in "Speak to Me," you're immediately drawn into a sonic journey unlike any other. Each track seamlessly flows into the next, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
As "Breathe" and "On the Run" unfold, you're taken on a musical voyage through introspection and exploration. The album's themes of madness, time, and the human condition are masterfully woven into the lyrics and instrumentation, culminating in tracks like "Time" and "The Great Gig in the Sky."
One of the highlights of the album is undoubtedly "Money," with its distinctive cash register sounds and memorable guitar riff. It's a social commentary wrapped in a catchy, almost ironic package.
"Us and Them" and "Brain Damage/Eclipse" close out the album with a sense of contemplation and resolution, leaving you with a profound sense of introspection.
Overall, "Dark Side of the Moon" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate listeners with its depth, complexity, and sheer brilliance. Whether it's your first time listening or you're revisiting it, the album never fails to leave a lasting impression.

I was just shy of 14 in 73….. this album has been the soundtrack of my life! 51 years of this album being my favorite of all time. All I can say is welcome to the machine!!!🎶❤️✌🏻

[@fluxrider7027]

Same, a couple years behind you. Lucky us.

[@lisanowka8669]

Perfect,spot on there is a reason it never left th3 top 100 for years

[@mja4wp]

It is: The Soundtrack of Life!

[@scottdebruyn7038]

Hey! Another '59'er! 😏

[@jackiegiannino6835]

Yessiree!!

[@kellydelay18]

Got this album in 75 changed my musical DNA forever

[@tenjed4224]

It took me from just the overlaying music of songs, but the underlying nuances. I began digging Pink Floyd at the same time I was getting into the Grateful Dead. Both groups did magic with their instruments and both began styles many musicians followed without knowing from where it came.

[@215_Philly_4for4]

Changed my actual dna

[@KWC33]

This job has been with me my entire life since I was two years old when it came out my earliest memory is my dad dropping the needle on this album for the first time! Now I ask you am I a musical snob comparing everything that came after this or is it just the fact the best fucking piece of music ever written?

[@KWC33]

This album is been with me my entire life since my dad dropped the needle on the record, and when I was two years old the day it came out, so I ask you am I a musical snob my entire life for being so judgmental of music or that I just happen to start with the best piece of music ever ever written??

[@theneverenderreacts]

It had too. Amazing album

[@LoveFireworksHD]

One of the best albums ever❤

[@allengator1914]

No, it is the best album ever. PERIOD!

[@rtamck]

@@allengator1914 I always say it is THE best album EVER, by ANYONE. Even my grandson has now got the bug.

[@godscience7821]

Fax I first heard it in 2007 blew me away, I can imagine hearing this in 73. They got a gift but when I heard it it was an experience for me.

[@sotexsailor]

50 years later and the lyrics still hit you in the brain stem and heart equally!!!

[@danrieke9988]

Your reaction, right there, is what I'm talking about. Signed an old white guy war-time Veteran of America. Love you, Earth brother.

[@curtadams7406]

I've watched a lot of "reactions" to this album and the songs therein. Some were good, some not so, but few of them portrayed a reaction as authentic as yours in this video. It was a real joy to watch, thank you for being you and for helping us remember what it was like when we first listened to DSOTM. At one point you said of the album, "people should study this." Well in a way, you just did!

[@firefox3187]

Welcome to the Machine, and to Real Music

[@williamosborne6866]

It seems that a huge number people loved this album enough to sell over 45 million copies (and still selling today - an average week will see 8,000+ sold) and occupy a spot on the Billboard 200 for 988 weeks (roughly 19 years). As of this year, it is the fourth highest selling album of all time. How fortunate are we that this masterpiece will be available for us, and future generations to come, to enjoy over and over. We can never again experience this for the first time, but watching new listeners is nearly as good. Stay well.

[@annjohnson994]

Well said

[@robling1937]

David Gilmour (lead singer and guitarist of Pink Floyd) easily takes the cake for me as my favorite guitarist of all time. He doesn't rip or shred. His goal isn't to see how many notes he can hit or how fast he can move up the neck of the guitar. He just focuses on tone and perfect execution. Every note he plays fits so perfectly into the song and is exactly what we need at the moment. Their Pulse concert's rendition of Comfortably Numb is mind blowing.

[@fjborg6978]

Of all the incredible guitarists out there, if I could choose one that I wish I played like, it would be Gilmour, without a doubt.

[@G00neyBird]

After about 17 years of practice I played the TIME solo, ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL solo, and Comfortably num solo and his solos are the most fun solos to play in my experience 🤘

[@scottlaughlin9897]

One of two lead singers!

[@detroitlady7201]

Actually Rick Wright was a great singer and provided much in their songs as well!

[@professorbugbear]

That solo! Ugh!

[@gaia1577]

In The Great Gig In the Sky it was singer Clare Torry who provided the improvised, wordless vocals during recording!

[@professorbugbear]

Comfortably Numb is my favorite song, but Great Gig in the Sky is arguably their most perfectly executed song ever. Every time I hear it, I'm moved to my core

[@gcdumas2928]

Great reaction… Sir, you get it! Pink Floyd isn’t just music, it’s an experience. It’s everything you feel. From life to death. One of the greatest albums EVER made. Thank you for this. Check out ‘Wish You Were Here’ the entire album…May you fall in love more and more with PF everyday.

[@debrablumrogers5096]

Dark Side of the Moon to this day is my very favorite album from Pink Floyd 🎶🎵🎶💗 Pink Floyd made me Love & appreciate ALL genres of music! Ty for this and Great reaction 💗🎶🎵

[@iambecomepaul]

Heard this album more than 1,000 times. STILL amazed at how “put together” and mature the writing and composition is. It’s just mastered completely. This is lightning in a bottle. It doesn’t happen every day. Enjoy it every time you have the privilege of experiencing it.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

Well done. I'm only on my 800th listen, so it's still fresh to me!

[@CTree.Po.]

I'm loving your reactions to Floyd in and at this time. Like many of us older chaps and chap'ettes, this album has been with me since it's launch. I love the way you really got into it man.

[@philshorten3221]

So the album "Meddle" was the transition from old Pink Floyd to this era. You'll hear what was to come in two tracks "One of these days" And "Echoes" (Which was the entire Side 2 of the album) And then after DSOTM and some time the guys managed to produce the album "Wish You Were Here" Dedicated to founding band member Syd Barrett who was dropped from the band a few years earlier suffering severe mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse. Syd was dearly loved, but the late 60's was a different time and Roger, Dave, Richard and Nick were 4 young guys simply not equipped to give Syd the expert care he needed. "S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond (1-5)" "Welcome to the Machine" "Have a Cigar" "Wish You Were Here" "S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond (6-9) Is another masterpiece having the lyrics and some knowledge of the Back Story definitely helps with understanding.

[@williamosborne6866]

The singer here was Clare Torry (brought in by the amazing Alan Parsons) - she is one of the only two outside vocalists to ever perform on a Pink Floyd album. The other one was Roy Harper, who sang lead on the song "Have A Cigar" from the following album "Wish You Were Here".

[@gnielsen07]

Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever… but Roy Harper was incredible in that song. Better than gillmour, Wright, or waters could have done it

[@mondeoman1954]

The singer on Great Gig..was Clare Torrey, a session singer. She did this in two takes, totally improvised. She asked the band what they wanted, they just told her what the track was about, she did the rest. Absolutely uncanny talent.

[@lubos1207]

I may seem abnormal to you, but I have to write this down: I first heard this album when I was ten years old (in 1975), and since then I've listened to it at least a thousand times (and God willing, I hope to listen to it several more times. I'm writing about this because I'm purposely seeking video responses to my first listen of this album (but all Pink Floyd songs). It always makes me smile, while often bringing tears to my eyes to see the surprised and amazed expressions on the faces of listeners. People often say that this album (or Pink Floyd) somehow changed their lives. I can't say that, but I'm happy that God blessed Dave, Rick, Nick and Roger with such talent and that they were able to give us all such incredible works that have gone down in world music history once and for all. I wish you all the best - ideally when listening to Pink Floyd!

[@radarsmilin1179]

It is not limited by time like we are. Life begins and ends. Then returns. Great reaction brother :)

[@geoffsullivan7902]

They brought the concept album into our world. They changed 29:51 lives with this album for 50 years… and still are today. Genius level music 🎼 ❤

[@Oldschoolnana]

This is in a time capsule. Pink Floyd will live forever. Got to see this tour. Lucky me.😊✌️🌻🌻

[@dmytrodanilov9334]

Thank you for your honest reaction! It's definetely one of the best albums of a century

[@williamschrom1584]

Thanks for giving me an hour of pure and sincere joy, watching your enthusiasm and response... keep it up!

[@robborra8071]

I have so many reaction videos I watch I dont get to see yours enough... after this reaction that all changes... i grew up with Floyd, seen them so many times in concert... and I just cant get enough of watching first timers react, yours was pefect, you reacted like a true Floydian as we call ourselves... ill be watching my brother, enjoy!

[@Xavier-Denis]

This album is about Birth, life and all between and Death. In The Great Gig In The Shy, few people pay attention but when Clare Tory pushes her high notes, 21:30 the piano stops playing to play organ to put more power into her voice and it's just Gorgeous.

[@vincestapels2022]

You'll love Animals (if you haven't heard it already)! An extremely underrated album that few react to, yet is produced expertly is First Utterance by Comus. Subscribed! 😊❤

[@scottmusgrave5735]

Underrated?! Who told you that nonsense? It’s one of their top 5 albums.

[@sandyczarnetzke7141]

Oh my gosh I still have this on vinyl. I bought it when it was first released. They were way ahead of the times. They're still amazing to hear today.❤

[@kcjstanley9608]

Pink Floyd is a musical must, glad you got to discover them. I would recommend " Horses" the 1975 debut album by Patti Smith, an album which has long become considered a breakthrough masterpiece of minimalist originality and poetic improvisation.

[@jcartgold9127]

I watch a lot of reaction videos. This is the first time I have ever watched the whole album. This came out when I was 21 years old and all of my college roommates listen to it over and over. You are the best at reaction video

[@williamschrom1584]

That was an absolutely perfect reaction... keep it up!💫

[@avosider1]

Loved this reaction. I been binging dark side album reactions and this is by far my favorite reaction. Instant subtribe. Can't wait to see your other reactions.

[@philippericci9783]

Merci à vous de nous avoir proposé ce chef d’œuvre en vous regardant le découvrir et le vivre à l’instanté vous m’avez fait faire un bond en arrière de 50ans lorsque j’étais adolescent,instantanément j’ai replongé émotionnellement dans les SEVENTIES. Pendant toutes la durée de l’écoute j’observais vos réactions en découvrant cet album vous pouviez pas lui rendre un plus bel hommage. MERCI.

[@kellydelay18]

I would highly suggest the pulse version they do the whole album live

[@Blackshirt123]

Also the 1974 Wembley bootleg where they started off with Shine on You Crazy Diamond, followed with the songs that would be later renamed Sheep and Dogs, then Dark Side in its entirety before finishing up with Echoes.

[@weedlander]

hope u do all albums its worth it :D

[@Markinfilm]

"Time" is probably one of the most relevant songs written in the history of mankind. It will be around long after all of us are dead and continue to touch people for generations because it is the TRUTH.

[@Mhantrax]

This was amazing, thank you for he experience! I listened to the entire album with you, loved every minute of it.

[@theneverenderreacts]

Thank you very much

[@malcolmstockbridge2569]

Its such fun watching someone when we all know whats coming next :)

[@raddison6084]

Nothing like knowing the punch line…*

[@loraalderson9478]

❤❤❤ Another great reaction of yours! You chose a good one to start with, as Pink Floyd really should be enjoyed as an entire album at once. I don't mind at all the longer time. All of their albums are amazing. I look forward to sharing some more album time together in the future! ❤❤❤

[@Bacho_Grande]

I've heard this album a zillion times but I loved listening to it yet again along with you ♥

[@johnbennett9630]

You reminded me of my first listening to this album. I was blown away - these guys were young, spent their lives on stages and in studios. How the hell did they know all that stuff about the real life. And how did they turn it into a symphony for all of the ages. Covering the fecklessness of youth, the inevitability of death. The pointlessness of war, the senselessness of avarice. The treadmill of a working life, the degeneration into madness. And the redeeming power of love. Speak to Me - well it did - and still does, profoundly.

[@pascaledowling6309]

I was just thinking that the older I get, the more I love this album and I have been listening to it since it came out 😂

[@gaia1577]

I looooved your reaction! The mms and ooos for me!

[@marilynwesthouse7496]

It fills my heart with pure joy watching you react to the best albums of the century Dark Side Of the Moon I stated listening to this album when I was 16 till this day 53 yrs Money is my song❤

[@adfresh2266]

This was such a joy to watch. Thank you

[@bobbyhall3949]

I really enjoyed watching your reaction, it made my day. You said if you don't like the album something is wrong with you, I completely agree! Thanks for sharing.

[@scottmcknew238]

Your enthusiasm is heart warming to see when the music hits your soul! Floyd will pull you in many directions

[@chrisnelson143]

This was like me hearing the album again for the first time but through you. Your reactions were so honest and enthusiastic. Keep delving into more Pink Floyd.

[@DanielHBuchmann]

What an awesome reaction. Love it!

[@darena55]

I love to see you totally rocking out!

[@TylerSeeley211]

Grace and peace to you, sir. God bless!

[@llanitedave]

You're one of the few who correctly caught the background spoken words in "The Great Gig In The Sky" of the woman say "I never said I was frightened of dying."

[@mja4wp]

The genius of Pink Floyd on this album is the insane combination of: courage in exploration, master craftsmanship, expert execution and a perfect balance of power. sound and audio mixing.....all encapsulating the humility of being human - the glory, the folly and the mystery.

[@sirkuscustom]

Respect man from Norway from a Finnish expat - I've had the same experience with The Dark Side of the Moon years back and being a straight Rock and Roll guy, must admit that this one still hits me hard where it feels good in my soul! Thank you for your honest reaction, though our (your and mine) musical backgrounds differ greatly (I'm trained - before my R'nR "career playing guitar in a local rock-band), I still revere this album as one of the greatest piece of popular music..!

[@erichholler3466]

Powerful stuff this album. This was the first record I ever purchased in 1977, I was 13 years old. It came with 2 posters and a sticker! For me it's one of the best works ever recorded. (Btw, your reaction was priceless bro. Peace)

[@paulamoya7956]

Watching you listen to this Epic Masterpiece I’ve heard easily a hundred times brought me absolute JOY !! Thank you for reacting the way I wish everyone would !!! I adore you ! Let’s do Pink Floyd Pulse concert Comfortably Numb next!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@tenjed4224]

You remind me of how I felt the first time I ever listened to this album. More than 45 years later, I still get that same groove. Enjoy.

[@sarahbarnes1041]

I was 15 in 73 and had this album still listen to this pink floyd are the best band ever thanks for a great reaction ❤

[@ride4life32]

I love this album. My dad had it and I listened to it 30 years ago. I just listened to it Monday and played it to the eclipse that just happened and I timed it so when the moment of totality hit where I live, the lyrics from the song eclipse and the sun is in tune and the sun is eclipsed by the moon at the second it hit. I got a rough video of it but man it was amazing. Glad to see you enjoyed the album.

[@ronwilcox7716]

Keep up with the album reactions, brother! That’s how music from this time is best experienced!

[@pappapata]

Yes, one of the most wonderful things you can do... Dark Side of the Moon and headphones 🙏❣🇸🇪

[@jamesmcclain5005]

Thanks for doing the whole album, I stayed with you the whole time. Many people do the same thing, it is a crowd pleaser.

[@MrHollywoodHigh]

Thank you for sharing your experience in real time to this album. The music and lyrics are drawing you in, taking you on a trip. Now, as in 1973 (I was there and testify), you realize during your listening that you are tripping. No drugs, alcohol or distractions. You had to talk to us but the music still made its affection inside your brain; as it was for me 51 years ago (and DSOM-ing every 10 years or so since then). Thank you again. Joy, Love, and Happiness.

[@neillenet291]

The greatest album ever made imho.

[@MotoNomad350]

This album entered my life in 1983 when I was 14 and has been a regular part ever since. I fell asleep to this every night during high school and in my 50s I again fall asleep every night to either Dark Side, The Wall, Wish you were here, or Final Cut.

[@raddison6084]

Yes, not enough props for “The Final Cut”

[@llanitedave]

BTw, I'm listening to this while getting settled in my viewing location for tomorrow's solar eclipse. Your timing was perfect!

[@waynejones1054]

[@robertgrant4987]

[@smasher50]

Will be playing this album today during the solar eclipse as it is so relative

[@nickfilleul3463]

Generally considered one of the ultimate if not the ultimate “Concept Album” where all the songs are connected. It tells the story of life and the lack of repeated verses as the story unfolds is so refreshing and makes this the definitive ‘listen although the way through’ album. Like everyone here I loved your reaction. For many of us in the 70’s this too was our eaction, albeit in my case lying down with mates or my own, in a darkened room, slightly spliffed up and then just being transported. No other word for it. ❤

[@pommie5093]

I gave a thumbs up before even getting into the listening of the masterpiece, DSOTM. I appreciated the anticipation, knowing that we were about to listen to this work of art.

[@eugenestandingbear6516]

This reaction is the best absolutely ! Sincerely I love it . The high pitched tones are 'lap -steel peddle guitar'. Thank you 😊❤

[@bridgittetirman2645]

Thank you very much.

[@douglydooright4580]

Thank you friend for pulling up the lyrics. I wish all you reactionaries did the same.

[@parideruggeri9505]

Ringrazio per il fantastico album. Ricordo la prima volta dopo l'acquisto del vinile, praticamente consumato. Erano avanti di decenni rispetto alla musica di quei tempi, forse a volte non compresa appieno. Ho partecipato a 4 dei loro concerti, esperienze incredibili. Nulla e ripeto nulla a che fare con la musica di oggi. Ancora un grazie al canale.

[@user-xd1it5nc3e]

You wanted to know about who sang The Great Gig in the Sky. The short version of that story is, a white session singer from London who had never heard of PF. One day her agent called her and told her to report to Abbey Road studios for...something. She showed up and an engineer told her that she was there to improvise...whatever she wanted over the music PF had written - as long as she sang no words. She listened to the music, thought "What the hell?" and stepped up to the microphone and...delivered an awful performance. Then the guitarist came over and said, "Yeah, I know this is impossible but if you try to imagine that you are a soul realizing that your body is dying, first you're terrified, then you're angry, then you calm down and start to accept it and then you feel peace. Something like that". And she - Claire Torrey was her name - said, "Oh, sure, no problem. That's easy". And her next take she delivered THAT! Hard to believe!

[@oscarmadrid280]

And she was paid only 30 pounds

[@diverdown631]

I love this album. I first heard it 75' and hundreds of times since. In my opinion, "US and them" is the masterpiece inside of the masterpiece.

[@franktraina4147]

50 years old and still relevant to the time's. Could be the best album ever. 😎

[@danbaldwin-doc3983]

The first song was about a man (true story) was told that if he missed this flight he would be fired. So this guy was running to catch his plane but it takes off and crashes killing every one on the plane.

[@kellahella5286]

I can’t adequately put into words how mind blowing this was when it dropped. I’ll just say I’ve listened to this album at least twice a month since I first purchased it in April 1973. It’s still as profound today as it was then, maybe more as I’ve aged. 🫶🏼PF forever.

[@johngilmer6782]

Great reaction! New subscriber.

[@Watchman70]

I loved this reaction and reliving this album. It's the closest thing you can get to listening to it again. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

This reaction made me sub.❤

[@BorealisNights]

I was 12 years old when this came out... just getting into other bands like Zeppelin, Stones, etc. and as if Zep. hadn't already opened my eyes to the depth of rock music of the day, and along comes Dark Side... it was the epitome of sonic art of the day, and will forever be one of the greatest albums of all time. Lol at, "I'm gonna keep it PG".. too later.. you've already cussed, including the "4 letter word:. lol. This album can have that effect on a person. lol.😉 The older you get, the more meaningful this album becomes... I'm 63, and this applies as much, no, even more, today, than it did way back 50 years ago when I first heard it. Your next assignment is to get comfy, lay down, turn out the lights, and let your mind explore all you didn't hear yet.👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦

[@gorodneypace]

I was a kid when this came out but I listened to it all throughout my college days and since. One of the greatest albums ever.

[@DavidHunter]

Love your reaction. I was born in 84 and I only heard this album in 2012. After a song was used at the climax of the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. I had to find out what it was. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. That album and album cover is always heard about but always thought it was just something people a generation or two above me always talked about but I expected it to be crap to be perfectly honest with you. Then I listened to it. Just mesmerising. Never heard anything since that is just so perfectly crafted and is music for the soul. Seeing you have the same kid of reaction is just fun. Thank you man.

[@paranormal_pandemic]

Sir, you got it. This album is a trip from start to end. Thank you for your time.

[@tenjed4224]

Dark Side of the Moon was in the top echelon for over 700 weeks, after it came out. It took a brief pause. Then it retook its place, going for a total of more than 980 weeks and counting.

[@OLLE3770]

Remember - a lot of the engineering (panning, synths, overdub....) was new at the time. I bought this album when it came out and its content was unheard of. We used this record to "grade" our analogue stereo systems to see how good they played this record. A good damn milestone in so many ways. Still listening to it, The lyrics hits harder the older I get. I really liked your reaction. This album is part of my life. You sort of compressed the emotions in one listening. Respect.
