Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (SIDE 1) | REACTION

[@glenncooper9898]

Bros I’m that 62yr old black man who discovered this about 73 74. I’ve seen them twice!! It truly warms my heart to see young brothers learn this music. Me and my brothers were talked about back then cuzz our people didn’t understand. I love our R&B but the world is so much more! Yes, you see a movie in your head becoz that’s wat happens wen ur floyded!!! All their music is diff.Dark side didn’t sound like this and Animals which is next doesn’t sound like this. Lyrics mean a lot, a whole lot with Floyd! So start trying to understand. This album is about their band mate who started it and mentally lost it. And Animals is about society. Thank you for giving this a chance, and listen…..🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

I’m black too. Like my R&B, especially the back in the day stuff, but also like the various genres of rock and metal. Plus rock and then metal is an evolution from American Blues, so it’s all of a piece. 😊 Music is for everyone. If you like it you like it!

[@jareczek1980]

when they recording this album Sid came to the studio. He watched them, and left. They didn't recognised him.

[@kbrewski1]

Gilmour's iconic guitar playing is very rooted in the blues, especially in Shine On You Crazy Diamond and many of his solos. And the name Pink Floyd came from 2 blues musicians that Syd Barrett admired, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

[@selimsenhadri6408]

Plus ...they were intesly influenced by blues music 😉

[@garryiglesias4074]

Do we have to -recall- remind anybody that "Pink Anderson" and "Floyd Council" were the base of their name ? Both black blues musicians.

[@thenortherner3890]

Why did I ever get rid of my turntable back in the '80's and all my vinyl records when CDs came out?

[@iambob6590]

"The instruments are talking" Hell yeah

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

We called this music “head music” back in the day. You would put the record on in your room or living room and close your eyes and it would take you somewhere else. Pink Floyd are definitely their own genre.

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

💯

[@danieljones741]

...i spoke to someone who tripped with headphones on alone at night, in bed listening to umma gumma for the first time, when "careful with that axe, uegene" came on, the live performance. He freaked, nearly shit himself when the screaming started and chopping got frenzied.

[@davidgross990]

I thought we called it head music because back then being a head meant you got high, and when we listened to Pink Floyd back then we got high. You had the jocks, the brains and the heads though it was cool to cross over to all three groups if you were a cool smart athlete.

[@Greg-io1ip]

I was called "a head" for listening to rock and progressive music like it was a bad thing. Remember this was a largely backwards era where being "a tree hugger" was supposed to be something horrific. Same crowd of trouble makers. And I don't mean "the heads and tree huggers". We need more heads and tree huggers.

[@James-hd6ez]

But you left the drugs bit out 😅

[@desertdee1]

We didn't really do the headphone thing, but instead would smoke a doobie, :D and then just lay back and relax, in the center of 4 speakers, close our eyes and feel the music. Pink Floyd is an experience. I remember quadraphonic sound, what Pink Floyd was most known for, but if you used 4 speakers, you would hear things that you wouldn't hear just using 2. I do remember when this album first came out, Dark Side was still going strong. Even though we loved it, it wasn't 'yet' played as much as Dark was still being played.

[@mickraines8908]

Floyd sound is unique, there’s no band quite like them, they’re in a genre by themselves, fact🙏👍

They are a European Psychedelic fusion band. They fused R&B, Blues, Soul, Funk, Acid Rock, Choir Music, and everything under the sun to make their sound.

[@actuariallurker9650]

Shine on you crazy diamond is a tribute to band co-founder Syd Barrett who basically took LSD every day for a couple of years and wound up becoming mentally ill from the drug use- some believe it was schizpherenia. Syd was doing laser shows, essentially "raves" in small clubs for Pink Floyd's early live tours in the 60s, trippy lyrics etc as the singer and song writer, Guitarist David Gilimour joined when Syd couldn't function anymore to take over guitar and singing. Syd did release a solo album later but died basically a recluse who was cared for by family members

[@Magumba_State]

Predisposition to schizophrenia caused him to go crazy, LSD itself has been shown to have no effect on "mentally sane" individual's, but if your family has a history of mental illness it can get passed down through the bloodline and psychedelics drugs could act as a potentiator for mental illness years before it would come out naturally.

[@dbradx]

Syd actually showed up at the studio while the band was recording this album, but he looked nothing like himself - way heavier, bald, and barely there mentally, almost catatonic, just a shadow of himself. It took the rest of the band quite a while to figure out who he was and it really hit them hard emotionally, apparently they were in tears after he left. This is a brilliant album, really looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Peace and love from Canada! ☮

I've been a PF listener for 45 yrs and their evolution in this period is so interesting and great. I feel the band was much better after syd barrett and when Roger took creative control of the band and its concepts and writing but so much of Roger's writing and concepts are inspired by Syd or just flat out about him like this one. It's such a cool dynamic. The early syd floyd albums are a little too psycho trippy for me but there are some nice gems in there but the 70's is the gold.

When you guys do Part 2, pay attention to how it transitions from Welcome to the Machine into Have a Cigar. Think of `Shine On You Crazy Diamond,` as bookends to the album.

Stadium music indeed. Saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago in 1994. With Pink Floyd the entire stadium is wired for sound. Speakers literally 360° around the stadium. So all the music, sound effects, spoken voices, are all reproduced live as it is on the albums and it comes at you from all directions. I don't think the albums were recorded with stadiums in mind so much as they were for a full rich sonic experience through your speakers and headphones. I've also seen them at an indoor arena. Same deal. These guys are perfectionists in every sense of the word when it comes to music. I've never heard of anyone who attended a Floyd concert complaining about the sound. Looking forward to side 2.

When I was 15, I hung out in my friend's room smoking weed and listening to Dark Side of the Moon when it first came out. By the time this one hit, I was jumping the south wall of the old Tampa Stadium (R.James Stadium now) to see the Floyd, the Stones, Clapton, Yes, Led Zepplin, etc. Three years later, I was working with the IATSE union doing the Floyd's stadium shows myself. No more wall jumping and the best paid gigs in my life. You're right. This is stadium music. It had to be. No other venue could hold their gargantuan stage setups with their 80' tall scaffolding and 40' tall speaker stacks, let alone their 65,000 plus audiences. I'm 65 now and I feel sorry for young guys like you who never had the chance to see the real super-groups like the Floyd in action. Excuse me for saying it out loud, and maybe I sound like an old codger, but 90% of today's "music" is over-produced, over engineered, over commercialized, fast-food garbage performed by corporate avatars who don't have 1% of the talent or creativity the greats from the 70's and early 80's did.

Pink Floyd is from Cambridge, England, the famous old university town, and their families were involved in education, etc. As Gilmour said, “We could all speak proper English.” Basically, everyone they knew was educated, so when they decided they needed someone to try to get Syd straightened out and help him out on stage they thought “What about David Gilmour? He trusts him, and he can play guitar.” When they decided to put saxophone on ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, Gilmour said “What about Dick Parry? He plays saxophone.” Same for Hipgnosis, who designed their album covers. They were all friends from Cambridge who they’d known most of their lives. Roger Waters was still picking up Syd at his mom’s house to take him to doctor’s appointments toward the end of his life, 30 years after he left the band. And you’re right: at the concert the music is the main part, but only part of the show. There is the band, music, lights, lasers, film, objects moving around over your head, on the stage, etc. The music is the soundtrack.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Actually, that’s a baritone sax Dick Parry starts with, (on Shine On) when the tempo changes mid solo, he switches to a tenor sax. Watch the video of this song from the Pulse concert and you’ll see him with BOTH hanging from his shoulders, and then the switch occurs. Sat right in front of him for Pulse, and it still blows me away. Good to see young men enjoying what we grooved on back in the day. Until you hear it for yourself, no words can capture the experience. Enjoying your reactions, even with the seldom miss, (just like the rest of us) your knowledge of the era’s music is right on track. Regards 🤘😎

@@Yausbro Lol, your right (of course). Funny thing is, I knew that. Another example of my brain missing a synapse with more frequency these days. 🤔👈 However, we’re both half right. His last name is Parry. I’ll edit original comment. Much appreciated.

Guys, vinyl is cool. Full respect, I shake your hand. Pink Floyd is my favorite team. Greetings from Russia. I noticed the cap of the "Dynamo" club, a smile appeared automatically.

I found you guys yesterday & have been binge watching. You guys are great at this, keep it going. Love your reactions as guys with music backgrounds and knowledge. Loved all these bands.

I came across the two of you after watching other reaction videos , this music is the sound track of my youth ! Along with zeppelin, Black Sabbath , and many others , there is only one Pink Floyd , they were intelligent in their lyrics and their music took you to places known & unknown , didn’t matter if you were high or not …. I’ve so enjoyed watching you enjoy listening to all of these one of a kind brilliant artists .

Just can't get enough Floyd, thankyou 🙏 this album is really about watching their friend and band member detatch from reality, when is part 2 ? 😆 🇬🇧 ❤️

The scratches and everything. Nice! 😍

You guys hit the nail on the head. They created their own genre. The artistry, the ability to weave sounds and effects into their music, they way they created a concept is just peerless in the music world. Loved your reaction to side 1. It's easy to tell you guys are diggin' what Pink Floyd laid down. Looking forward to side 2 dropping. Keep up the great work.
