Pink Floyd | The Instrumentation Was Awesome! | Money Reaction

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I did promise to do Echoes at Pompeii next, but upon realizing it's a 24 minute song I decided to push it off a little longer until I had some time to actually sit down and work on it, so back to the reliable Pulse Concert we go

[@jonhenke1504]

If you just play it part 1 is 14 minutes and you can play part 2 later.

[@magnolia7277]

Part 2 is more 'sounds' for the first half, then goes back to the 'music'. I read they finished the recording back in Paris for some of part 2 along with the editing. Playing just part 1 is what most reactors do, it's fabulous!

[@jimangela4589]

The saxophonist is Dick Parry. He was the sax player on the Dark Side Of The Moon album which included this song. On their big screen it looks like the video for the MTV version of the song. But the MTV version cut a large chunk of the guitar solo out. So it should be avoided. At this concert they actually played the whole Dark Side album in order.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I have heard they played the whole Dark Side album during the 2nd half of the concert. So far I've done 4 songs from this concert. Debating on continuing this instead of doing any studio versions

[@secondchance6603]

@@AceofBadeReacts Do studio versions and then the PULSE versions and you can compare them and when it comes to their live performances they're pretty much identical because they're just that good.

[@cyclops60]

You are right in that there was a shorter radio version which was released as a single. The single was 4 minutes long (and did include the sound effects at the start!) compared to over 6 minutes on the album. I think that extended live versions can sometimes become a little self indulgent and overdone but not Pink Floyd, I love every second! Cheers

No yeah I thought this was great

[@ivandelalves8827]

Don't worry about radio versions. PF did just music, not songs for comercial radio or TV shows.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It's not that I'm worried about it. It's more that's the version that I heard and comparing it to what I'm hearing in these reactions, it throws me off a bit. I think it's better because we get more and sometimes even the parts I'm used to, they sound better

[@johnpbh]

The extended parts that you have been talking about are the intrumental pieces.. and you are right... its the slowed down, jam section in the middle. The verses are in the correct order and sequce though. As I say it's thejam but that the extra for the live performance. The BIG thing about this song and what kicked off their rocketing career in the US was the tempo change... it starts in 7/8, which is unusual for a hit single... but the big switch and what made it such a hit is the time change to 4/4 when the drummers so ham and it kicks into the solos. Master musicians all three of the band and of course they have top notch sidemen to complete the touring band.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

It's definitely an unusual tempo for sure, but it's so cool

The high pitched register you're talking about with David Gilmour matching the guitar he does in the song Wish You Were Here as one of the three encore songs. The other one you should have showed her is Comfortably Numb!

[@TerenceShortman]

Money is off Dark side of the moon album the reason they are arguably considered one of the greatest bands of all time is because:- Pink Floyd are an English rock band formed in London in 1965. one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished by their extended compositions, sonic experiments, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows they basically invented the light show and surround sound using a mechanical device they were also one of the first to introduce synthesizers and sound effects on tape loops to create their sound. By 2013, Pink Floyd had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and these albums and Wish You Were Here are among the best-selling albums of all time. Four Pink Floyd albums topped the US Billboard 200, and five topped the UK Albums Chart. Dark Side of the Moon album is one of the most commercially successful rock albums of all time. A US number-one, it remained on the Billboard Top charts for more than fourteen years during the 1970s and 1980s, selling more than 45 million copies worldwide. In Britain, it reached number two, spending 364 weeks on the UK chart. The Dark Side of the Moon is the world's third best-selling album of all time.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

They definitely have a long list of achievements

[@kallsop2]

This was primarily about when the group was achieving fame and fortune before they made Dark Side Of The Moon. It was about who was making the money whether it was the band or the record companies. A good follow up to this that is in the same vein is Have A Cigar from their next album Wish You Were Here which is an excellent album to listen to all the way through without stopping.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I don't know if I've heard Have a Cigar all the way through.

[@976PAIN]

The time signature is 7/4 for the verse. As I remember they had different versions on the radio, but on FM they played the full song a lot. The short version is missing the middle quiet part of the guitar solo. Live they flesh it out a lot. That is the sax player that actually played on Dark Side of the Moon - Dick Parry.

[@AceofBadeReacts]

I can understand why it wasn't on the radio. They didn't like to go over a certain time usually

[@davehadley3567]

Live versions almost always develop over time, the musicians find slightly better ways and more interesting runs and then it morphs into the same but much better and usually longer.

The 70s were a time of AOR music, Album Oriented Rock. The album were made to listen to all at once. Side A, all the way through, turn it over, and listen to side B. There were two tracks made, the album track and the radio track, but many radio stations played the full, long version of the song. Concert versions of song usually had the tempo speed up so they could get more songs in a shorter amount of time. Nick Mason i(dummer) is the only member to appear on every album.

Rispetto all'originale di studio dall'album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON questa dal live PULSE è migliore perché é una versione leggermente prolungata che aggiunge un tocco jazzistico molto gradevole arioso e frizzante. Eccezionale ! Nick Mason è il batterista storico dei Pink Floyd e Gary Wallis un ottimo supporto 🥁 Richard Wright (Rip) il tastierista originale è affiancato da Jon Carin 🎹 C'è inoltre pure una chitarra addizionale 🎸 magistralmente suonata da TIM RENWICK E vanno pure ricordate le bravissime coriste Durga Mc Broom Sam Brown e CLAUDIA FONTAINE ( Rip) E Dick Parry che é il sassofonista🎷 che ha suonato MONEY anche nel disco del 1973.

Originally, Pink Floyd were a psychedelic band of very limited ability. Then David Gilmore replaced Syd as lead guitarist and singer . Then Roger Waters appointed himself song writer ( lyrics ). This new Pink Floyd was a force of musical nature. The new lyrics were deep, meaningful and the quality of Dylan, Leonard Cohen etc , better than any Paul McCartney lyrics, and the music matched the quality of the lyrics...... David is a top notch musician and can play guitar ....electric, accoustic and lap steel. The rest of the band had to improve and they did. The lyrics to Money are pure sarcasm , tongue in cheek and brilliant.....but not dance music . In history, quality musicians rarely do dance music.

[@AceofBadeReacts]
