My Friend And I React To Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Album Reaction Pt. 1!!!

[@tomaleshire4145]

I saw Pink Floyd in 1970 (I'm 70 now!😫) and a few years later I saw them again without Roger Waters and then saw Roger Waters without Pink Floyd. The way their songs touch me now is completely different because I am, " Shorter of breath, one day closer to death"! And I tear up a bit when I hear "Remember when you were young....you shone like the sun." The lyrics were cool back then but more relevant and haunting now in the later stage of my life. So thrilling to see the music I loved 50+ years ago is being kept alive and appreciated by young people like y'all. Watching your 1st time reactions takes me back to when I went to Tower Records and bought a new album (or 8 track cassette) and listened to it with my friends for the 1st time. Thanks for the memories and great reactions!😁❤️✌️

At least it's good to see some youngsters opening their eyes (and ears) to what good music is. I cannot tolerate the utter shit that mostly enters my ears these days.

[@kphensel]

I drove around in my car in rural Missouri as a teenager in 1976-77, listening to this on 8-track and passing around joints. We pretty much wore out the tape.

[@phillipharrison7283]

When you've heard this a few times you'll put it on for background music. It will become part of you and you'll hear each note in your head before it happens. You'll be a lifelong fan. 50 years and still counting. But you have to go backwards from DSOTM too!

[@robertkroberjr.157]

@Phillip Harrison I had Pink Floyd on 8-track and album. Class of 81! In 1980 We got a new High school built. I used to carry a GE Loudmouth 8-track player like a book to some of my classes! I looked up the Loudmouth on KZbin, and found it! The one I had was Grey. I loved that thing! 😎✌

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

I never thought about it that way but your right if I am cleaning up the house or even working in the garage I put on some classic rock and yeah it becomes back round music.

[@roccaclassico9028]

Pink Floyd were geniuses at creating a "theater of the mind" atmosphere. That sound at the end of "Welcome to the Machine" is: elevator doors closing, the express elevator going all the way up, and the doors opening to a penthouse party, which sets up the theme of the next track. This a "concept album" that's both a tribute to Syd Barrett, a founding member of the band (he came up with the band's name), and an indictment against the soulless business side of the music industry. Syd was the "crazy diamond". Look closely at the album's cover art; it's a photo of two men shaking hands on a deal, and one is literally being burned. That's how the band felt record company executives treated the artists.

It’s amazing to think that this music is nearly 50 years old. A lot of music from that time sounds dated. Pink Floyd’s 70s albums all sound like it could be released today. Not just ahead of their time, but it exists in another time and place entirely.

I sooo envy you to be listening to so many great artists that are part of the musical DNA of past generations. You are by far the most sincere and authentic reaction channel I have witnessed. Keep up the good work! You are pleasing a ton of us old Hippies! Remember ..Gilmour is known for his subtle genius on the guitar! You will be inundated with explanations of this music and that is fine, but none of the behind-the-scenes was known by us listeners until years after they were released. All we knew was the experience of the music and were left to our own devices as to what the meaning of it all was!

[@tjhunger5656]

What I remember whilst listening to PF, oh so many years ago, is it being akin to a paradigm shift in my understanding of what was, and what could be, this, coincidentally; or not, whilst contemplating the gentle assent and decent of blobs of melted wax in my lava lamp, also in concert while enjoying the afterglow of, (the unfortunately obsolete), sensi (sensimilla) stick; good times ✌😎✌ Now seeing these youngsters discover for the first time those songs which added to many of our collectives, and individual consciences is a real treat. It's sort of a vicarious reliving of that first contact with PF's magic and subsequent magical times.

[@sophiapangloss2149]

@@robertkroberjr.157 I don't think young people realise the importance of choosing which album you used to roll up on, it definitely infused the magic of the music into the magic of the cigarette. We *always* had a debate about which LP cover to use, DSOTM was an obvious one, The Wall was used only if you were on a downer, and if your head was a real mess then anything by Ozric Tentacles would do... Later, in the 1980s, it could be the VHS video cassette of choice, that would work, however CD covers were too small, completely useless, and people only ever rolled up on a C90 cassette tape cover for a joke... Of course young people don't get it, you can't roll up a decent spliff on an MP3 or a stream!

[@justinatest9456]

For these full album reactions I would recommend finding out where the albums go from Side 1 to Side 2, as this was a natural break in every record. The bands put their albums together knowing that people would be starting and stopping the albums at that point, and the fans are used to hearing the albums be interrupted there as well. Just a thought.

When we were younger we would sit in a freinds basement (or living room) with a great stereo system, smoke somthing, put on Pink Floyd and just chill out to the music. Often with a few friends, no conversation, no cell phones or other distractions. Ussually someone would have the album cover in hand going over the lyrics or some arcane detail regading the recording. When the side was over, maybe some chatter about the music, then after you got up and flipped the record over, back to the ear candy for another 20 mins! Those were the days.

[@paulwhite7972]

What I love about this is how Gilmour is deliberately playing at low volume for most of this with little or no effects. Because of of this he's having to wring every note out of the guitar, getting the plectrum to bite to make those notes ring. He's a master of leaving space for the music to breathe. The first three notes he plays on this track tell you everything you need to know about playing the guitar. Space. Tone. Timing. Perfection.

The saxophone was played by Dick Parry the unofficial fifth member of Pink Floyd. he played with David Gilmour since they were 15 years old incredible saxophonist even played with him in the later days when he had white hair still fantastic. it’s great to watch live as he switches from the Bari saxophone to the alto saxophone he has one hanging around the front of his neck and the other one around the back and then swings around when he makes the change up

"Wish You Were Here", (1975), Pink Floyds 9th album, fits in nicely between "Dark Side of the Moon", (1973), and "Animals", (1977 as two of the Best Pink Floyd albums, imo. "The Wall" album in 1979 being the crowning achievement of Pink Floyd, as far as artistic endeavors and musical writing and arrangements go, also imo. This album, like virtually all Pink Floyd albums, is a concept album, it tells a story and is meant to be listened to in one sitting, like your guys are doing! The album is mostly about Syd Barrett, one of Pink Floyds original band member in 1964. he's the Crazy Diamond and he's the one they're referring to in the title of the album and the song, "Wish You Were Here". Syd Barrett was forced to leave Pink Floyd by the end of 1967, before they achieved international status, because of his addiction to LSD and other mind-altering drugs. In addition to that he experienced serious mental health issues resulting from the massive amounts of drugs he ingested. By the end of 1967, Syd Barrett was so bad he couldn't perform and sometimes he didn't seem to know where he was. David Gilmour, a good friend of the band and Syd, took over for Syd Barrett full time in 1968, he is still a part of Pink Floyd today, albeit there are only 2 members left in Pink Floyd today. David Gilmour, (guitar, lead vocals) and Nick Mason, (drums, percussion). Roger Waters, (bass, vocals), quit the band in 1988, and Rick Wright, (keyboards, vocals),

I can't even begin to imagine the long process that must have been involved in completing their songs, but one thing is obvious--they never ever felt rushed to move through the different song segments, and neither can the listener. Somehow they were always able to figure out the exact points where more would turn into redundant, and only then did they move the song along.

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was a dedication to Syd Barret who was Pink Floyd's original founder/guitarist and singer who slipped into insanity due to LSD and was replaced by David Gilmour. Try Pink Floyd's first album, "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" from 1967, to hear what Syd sounded like. Every song on that album is his. Gilmour's guitar tone is phenomenal. For some of the greatest of Gilmour's guitar work, try Pink Floyd's much later album, "The Division Bell" from the 1990's. It's funny but I was about your age when this album came out and it's a masterpiece like "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Division Bell", "The Wall" and "Animals", but I also really enjoy Pink Floyd's first four or five CD's.

Pink Floyd is a vide. When I was young back in the early 80s, I'd light candles, turn off the lights, and just lay back and listen. Let the music take me away.

Hey, SIlas and Roman! Silas, shout out to you for that Reds shirt. I, too, am a long-suffering Reds fan. I'm excited for the video! I will edit my comment and share my thoughts when I'm finished. Hope you and yours are well! :) EDIT, as promised: These are two of my favorites from Floyd. While I no longer put Welcome to the Machine in my top 5 PF tracks, it's still safely in my top 10. It was the first song I had ever heard (nearly 20 years ago at this point) that had that ambient noise, that which was not strictly from the knowledge base I'd had of what instruments sounded like. Welcome to the Machine is, by no means, their most experimental (check out Atom Heart Mother for the experimental stuff), but it was the first I'd heard and it got me intrigued enough to find something else to scratch that itch, and it kickstarted my journey of music. As for Shine On You Crazy Diamond, it's one of the few songs that moves me to tears, nearly every time I hear it. I worried for some time that I was destined to become as Syd Barrett, minus the musical talent, but I've come to the conclusion that I have a choice on that matter, and have striven to reverse that path. My parents were always into music, with my father being more into the prog rock, metal, and punk scenes, while my mom was into the alternative, ska, and country side of things. And, lucky for me, both of them loved classical music, which helped me bridge gaps to other genres I was hesitant to explore. Pink Floyd's discography led me to discovering Tool (which, incidentally, was one of my dad's favorites). I talk of my dad in the past tense because we are estranged--thankfully, after years of neglect, at best, and abuse, at worst--but I can still, somehow, divorce the feelings I have of him, from the music he showed me, and it, in its best moments, has helped me to see that, while things were bad, with him, they weren't all bad. We had good times, but the bad was too frequent and too rough, and thus, outweighed the good, ultimately. I've recontextualized the lack of a relationship I had with him, and have made peace with it. Hearing the music he helped me discover, and watching it positively influence others, has helped me heal, a lot. I don't want to speak for you, but I want to say that, if you ever feel like you're just some kid putting up little videos listening to music, and it's not more than that, I just would like to say that for me, and many of us in the comments, it's way more. Thank you.

Another masterpiece from the Floyd.

New generation on fire!!!!

If you just want to kick back & chill, this is the LP to do it to. Now you see why us old timers say that today's music sucks. The only 'new' band I really like is Greta Van Fleet, but when it comes to 'old' music, you can't go wrong with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Jethro Tull. I'd like to see you do a reaction video on Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs or Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle.

Pink Floyd is and will always be my most favorite band. I know them for almost fifty years now. Animals is another great album. The Wall, Dark side of the moon Pulse live concert. A must see concert Echoes, from the album Meddle, is their best song imho. I prefer the studio version because a lot of the subtleties get lost in the live version. The live version is still great though but it’s cut in two pieces. David Gilmour’s epic live concert Remember that Night, contains Echoes as well. More great bands from back then: Gentle Giant. Three friends is a good album to start with. Jethro Tull. Songs from the wood as a starter. Uriah Heep. Demons and Wizards as a starter. King Crimson. Discipline or In the court of the Crimson Ling as starter. Genesis. The albums with Peter Gabriel a lead singer and the first few albums with Phil Collins as singer. YES. Yessongs as a starter. Rainbow.

Love Pink Floyd, never saw them live but I did see Led Zeppelin in 1975.

It’s good to close your eyes to get into this music, it takes away distractions and you can meditate to the music. Just a thought.

A Vegas Show on Vinyl! Layers upon layers of magical collaboration of art and philosophy that naturally evolved and society is blessed in their doing so! I reach 60 the end of the month and I am feeling it still… right along with you and your friends… don’t worry I’m not in public… so share as much as possible and may you be 60 and sharing with someone such as the likes of The Outlaw… Silas Bailey Cool name… thanks from this Texan!

Welcome my son, Welcome to the Machine.

[@biglos9d]

I used the first part of that last verse of Welcome to the Machine as my high school yearbook quote

[@stevematthews641]

The genius just builds

[@DorothyFarias]

Suggest watching some live performances you will not be disappointed. Nice reaction.
