Thats Amazing! | Pink Floyd | Shine On You Crazy Diamond | 3 Generation Reaction

[@kaafromoz]

RIP Sid Barrett the Crazy Diamond..a beautiful tribute song for an amazing man who struggled so hard in this beautiful world.

[@robertprady885]

To me the Syd era of so called music never did anything for me. But I respect ur opinion

[@louise_rose]

@@robertprady885 David Bowie cited Syd (and the Floyd's debut album, where the songs were mostly composed by Syd) as a big influence on himself.

[@SNP-1999]

I had the great privelage to see Pink Floyd live in open air concert in Hamburg, Germany in 1994 - they presented the same show as in the PULSE video.....and it was absolutely mind blowing! The gigantic stage was about three stories high and the light show and music was from another planet ! Everybody was mesmerised, even without drugs or drink, and it was by miles the most fantastic spectacle that I have ever seen. It is 30 years ago now but the feelings that I had on that hot summer night have never left me - Pink Floyd touched my heart and soul that night as they always had when listening to their music.

[@lovejetfuel4071]

Pink Floyd are probably the highest IQ band in history, the amount of imagination and intelligence that goes into their songs is mind boggling, it really is

[@skandagopal2287]

IQ and EQ. I've never had music pull on my heart strings quite like the Floyd

[@Markcello]

surely you forgot or don't know King Crimson, or Van der Graff Generator or Magma

[@kevanbodsworth9868]

@@skandagopal2287 Music intelligence is quite seperate or different to the kind measured in IQ tests .... Nearer intuition and emotion ,,

[@mikeharry1799]

dude it's not about iq. it's about evoking emotion by singing about things everyone can relate to, but nobody in the same way, because we all have different life experiences. as well as musical ability which supports said emotion invocation edit: to clarify i myself have an above average iq (not to toot my own horn or hold it over anybody, but i'm trying to make a point here) and i would NEVER question someones interpretation of a pink floyd song, precisely because they sing of such personal themes, that it means something different to everybody... take it back, for example: to me he's singing about my relationship with one of my exes, when i know in reality it's about man's relationship with the earth and nature...

[@louise_rose]

If you've seen the group photo on the inner gatefold of the Meddle album (1971) - all four look like men caught in a thoroughly hungover state, and Gilmour most of all. :) I love that photo, precisely because it's so un-fixed: it looks like the photographer just strolled in and took a snapshot the morning after...and there is little doubt that there *were* some mornings after for them during those years (John Leckie, who produced the album, has hinted that the sessions could be erratic and that the band were sometimes late and high coming in).

[@richardbeaton7324]

Sorrow is another amazing song from this concert!

[@ronaldsmith2965]

All this great classic music is really broadening the youngster. Even more than she can realize at this point. I exposed my daughter to great music and she indulged me by actually listening. Brit Floyd does an amazing job of giving the Pink Floyd experience and they are touring North America. Highly recommend.

[@YNGWIE998]

Totally agree, it seems the 'music media', t.v and the modern press are hell bent on poisoning young minds to the garbage that is rap, boy/girl bands, millionaire divas who perhaps make one album in three years, and are more content with wearing as little as possible on stage and in the press. And don't get me started on the 'Eurovision Song Contest'.....Aaargh!

This band is legendary. So much cool greatness for you ladies to listen to xx

[@SNP-1999]

This is music from heaven and it will be played in centuries to come. ❤

[@firedoc5]

This is one of the longest intros at about 8 minutes, but if you sit back and take it in it's worth it. When Syd Barrett had to leave the band, he wasn't just tossed aside and forgotten. The album Wish You Were Here is such a great tribute to him. While watching the on-stage video with clips of Syd, I can't help but get choked up.

[@CatherinePearl100]

Yes, same here. Syd’s mind, from a combination of schizophrenia and a lot of drugs, sort of collapsed in on itself. This song is a loving tribute to a dear friend who was still there, yet not really there at all.

[@kgunitkeese17]

David’s guitar solos will give you the “oohs, ahs, mmms, and hmms”. He’s quite possibly the only guitarist I’ve heard that can give you an eargasm just by bending one string.

[@eviljeep]

[@danwagner1702]

Syd Barrett wrote 10 and co-wrote 2 of the first 13 songs Pink Floyd released. Tragically he deteriorated mentally to the point that he had to be replaced. The first few lines of the song sums it up..."Remember when you were young. You shon like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky..."

[@kelleewolfe2834]

She died due to mental health issues ( I believe schizophrenia?) And extreme drug use. So sad, he was a very talented man before these two things took over his mind..

This exact music video from Shine on you crazy diamond that got me started listening to Pink Floyd

[@redguern]

One of the greatest songs ever by arguably the greatest band ever. The opening beautiful long notes on the organ came about by experimenting on wine glasses using fingers, I believe the story goes. There are videos about this. David Gilmour once performed a huge concert in Venice and out walking earlier in the day came across a street performer playing tunes on wine glasses. He invited him to join him on stage for this song that evening. And he did!

[@CatherinePearl100]

I saw the video of that somewhere on KZbin. It was pretty great. Gilmour is so down to earth and humble.

[@grahamhowes6904]

The wine glass player was playing this song and David says: ‘Did you realise you are playing one of my tunes?” He offers the man to play at the concert and the man looks sceptical so David says: ‘Oh you’ll be properly paid!” So the man does!

The saxophonist here was Dick Parry. This concert was in 1994......20 years after he originally played with them on the studio recording. Oh, and he also played on their 'Dark Side of the Moon' album. This was one of thos rare lightning-in-a-bottle moments, where some of the very best all came together.

[@seandobson6221]

This entire album is a masterpiece! And I tell all of the reactors I watch I tell them if you’re gonna do Floyd you either have to do the entire album or do each song consecutively so you get the whole story. One does not listen to Pink Floyd you experience Pink Floyd! This entire album was written to honor Syd Barrett. It was David Gilmour’s tribute to his friend. Oh and David Gilmour is a guitar god! He’s on my guitar Mt Rushmore with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimi

Syd Barrett, original guitarist and lead singer of Pink Floyd, as well was one of the co-founders in 1964, his tragic demise because of drugs and mental health issues led to him being forced out of the ban by 1968. His good friend and friend of the band, David Gilmour, (singer and guitarist you see here onstage), took over for Barrett in 1968. Syd Barrett is the one that created the band's name, Pink Floyd. Like every other Rock band to come out of England in the 1960s, Floyd was a Blues based band. Syd had quite a collection of albums from many American Blues guitarists from the early 1900s. Two of his favorites were, PINK Anderson, (1900-1974),... and FLOYD Council, (1911-1976). Over the years PF made many references to Syd in their songs, in fact their 1975 album, "Wish You Were Here" that this song is on, was really all about Syd. Syd is the one they wished were here. The acronym of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond",... (SOYCD), is a shout out to Syd, the 1st, 3rd, and 5th letters of the acronym spell SYD.

[@CoolCoyote]

'piper' is a reference to syds obsession with Kenneth Grahame's classic 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows( a story he wrote for his son Alastair who killed himself by putting his head on a railway track) but IN particular in the story it takes hard left turn into a bizarre but very interesting moment(not unlike early pink floyds music) Otter has lost his son and Rat and Mole get in their boat and row through the night to look for him. Just before the dawn they come upon incredible music and walking through the trees come face to face with a deity who is clearly (though never named) the Great God Pan. There at Pan’s feet is the lost otter boy. Ratty and Mole wake up later to find the otter boy and Mole is aware of a dream he cannot remember, while Rat notices hoof prints in the grass: Pan a benevolent god has blessed them with forgetfulness. They then load the boy into the boat and take him back to his family recognizing though that they have had an unusual if elusive experience. The instrument that 'pan' was playing was a 'panflute' or flute of pipes this was so captivating it led mole to their missing baby otter.

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

Probably the best song that Pink Floyd has ever done , although many would argue about that sentiment . Have you ever thought about the fact , that a boy with Lulu's hair obsession is usually bald by the time they are 30 years old ?

[@peterwatson2630]

Every track from this Pulse Concert is a masterpiece, both musically and visually. I'm torn between recommending you watch the whole concert in one go or take it one track at a time. I suppose you should take it piece by piece to get your reactions but the whole show is magic.

I've mentioned this before, I grew up on Hendrix, Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston of the Doobie Bros. I've always been a lead guitar guy and all of these guy talked to my soul for decades. Then there's David Gilmour. He can touch every fiber in your soul, draw every emotion known to man with his play. He and Pink Floyd are simply on a different level than all other bands, In my opinion, This Pulse concert is probably the best concert ever held. From start to finish it's one emotional experience after an another. I know you 3 have a huge load on you doing your reaction channel. Please do yourself a favor and make time to watch this concert from start to finish. If you do, have plenty of tissues around, you're prolly gonna need a few. It's unlike anything you've ever seen. Hey Donna, who's wacked out enough to give you dirt on what you're doin' ? SCREW EM'! Their way to full of themselves to matter, You guys keep doin' what your doin' and we'll be here for ya. Now, Go get ya some more Pink Floyd ! !

[@louise_rose]

The song was inspired by Syd Barrett but the theme of loss of innocence, or lost souls, friends who were caught in the labyrinth of forces they could not control, or who were sucked under - that theme resonated powerfully and widely with the 1960s/70s generations, and it still resonates today, It could easily have been about the people in "The Deer Hunter" and their journeys from youth and innocence to death, destruction and betrayal. This is such a powerful piece, both musically and emotionally.. and it explores many different stages of memory and grief (that's even more true if you'd listeh to the original 1975 recording, where it's arranged in two suites bookending the album - the version played here mostly corresponds to the first suite.
