The problem with listening to Pink Floyd is that one song generally flows into the next. When you try to listen to individual songs on KZread, you often get clumsy cut offs. Each of their albums were really meant to be listened to in their entirety.

Watching Amber listen to Pink Floyd is an experience! :D She's way into every note and sound. I love it.

The name Pink Floyd was created on the spur of a moment by Syd Barrett, when another band, also called the Tea Set, was to perform at one of their gigs. The name came from two blues musicians in Barrett's record collection; Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

The first time I listened to this song it was on a 350 watt per channel stereo system cranked up to about 105 decibels. If you listen to the album and the transition between this song and the next there is an abrupt drop in the volume and it suddenly sounds like a tinny radio (or a tweeter). It scared the hell out of me that I'd blown the woofers and midranges in my speakers. LMAO

David Gilmour and SRV are probably the most soulful, emotional guitarist in rock history in terms of really taking the listener to other places and reaching into your soul when they play.

It’s quite a satirical comment on the music industry this song; the funniest line to me is “By the way, which one is Pink?” Meaning the record executives literally had no clue about the band.

This album is a tribute to Syd Barrett, who left the band years before due to “mental health” issues. It’s meant to be enjoyed as a whole, like most of their albums.

That David Gilmour solo to close out the song is beyond exquisite. David Gilmour may not be the most technical guitarist out there, but nobody can quite play with emotion like he does. He makes the guitar cry out and sing, very similar to Stevie Ray Vaughn. It's super awesome to see you guys loving Pink Floyd so much. I highly recommend that you guys check out the live performance of Shine on You Crazy Diamond from PULSE. Thanks for the awesome videos.

This is from my favorite album by them... you've heard 2 songs from it now... this and "Wish You Were Here". Now you need to do "Welcome to the Machine" and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". Problem is the Shine on song is in parts and makes up most of the album. It starts the album with 5 parts that are 13:32 long and then ends the album with parts 6-9 that is 12:28 long. Sometime when you want to chill out sit down and listen to the whole album beginning to end. edit: The end of this song turns into a transition into the next song "Wish You Were Here". If you listen to the album this song turns into being played on a radio and someone changes the channel and you here a couple other things and then it centers on the next song and fades in.

This is an album that should be played beginning to end, but a little known facts that gets lost in the technological advancements was that it was released on 8 track (if anyone remembers those things). Since the 8 track tape was played as a continuous loop, there is a instrumental part that connects Shine On You Crazy Diamonds parts 6-9 at the end of the album to Shine On You Crazy Diamonds 1-5 at the beginning of the album, and the David Gilmore guitar solo is really nice. Sadly, that bit is lost on albums, cassettes, CDs, downloads, and any other format because they don't play as a loop.

David Gilmour is Pink Floyd

The album Wish You Were Here was about their struggles with fame and the music industry (Welcome to the Machine, Have a Cigar) after the enormous success of Dark Side of the Moon, while also missing their former bandmate Syd Barrett, who had a profound mental breakdown (Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond).

Brian hit it directly. Pink Floyd, like a number of bands from that era, orchestrated albums to be a continuous experience, you almost can't flip to side 2 fast enough to maintain journey. Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon were both astounding!!

it really didn't "end" when it did. it transitioned into the next song on the album. This album, Wish You Were Here" (my personal favorite) is incredible. It's well worth listening to from beginning to end.

When I had trouble going to sleep I’d put Dark Side of the Moon on, slip the headphones on, volume a little down and immerse my self in the music. At some point I’d drift off and wake up in the morning with the headphones half off. It was great .

Harper walks into the studio and hits a homerun.

Thanks again, both, for all your hard work and dedication to the channel. These are so entertaining and insightful. Do give our dear love to the bairns. It seems I wasn't done either, so off to the turntable to listen to the album. Now, where is that bottle of Jameson's.....

I remember purchasing this album with some early teen birthday or chore money, can't remember which, and then waiting for my parents to go out so that I could get my first listen, alone, a few pillows on the livingroom carpet, loud on the record player. It was like torture waiting for them to have a reason to go out together, but worth it so that I could listen loud and without interruptions.

This is one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs. Roger Waters wrote it as a slight to the corporate greed in the music industry.

The two of you are so lovely. I gotta say I didn't watch this reaction in it's entirety (I did play it from start to end though) because I found myself phased out vibing to the music with my eyes closed most of the video, but every time I opened my eyes I saw the two of you doing the exact same thing with your eyes closed. That alone spoke volumes to me. You're great, Pink Floyd is great, I love your channel!

Young people have no idea how much this song was the sound of the era. Just played constantly on mainstream radio for decades. More so than many much better Pink Floyd songs. Is a great song, don't get me wrong.

I get that away-from-Earth feeling from some early 70s Stevie Wonder ("Creepin'," which features Chaka Khan, "You Got It Bad Girl," "You and I"), Herbie Hancock ("Vein Melter," "Speak Like a Child," "Stepping in It")... I could go on and on...

To get that fat-cat record industry manager vocal, they drafted in the brilliant Roy Harper to sing lead vocal. You should check out some Roy Harper tunes. He is an incredibly talented musician and lyricist, and incredibly influential.

This is the shady side of music companies who know nothing about them. "Oh by the way which one is Pink?" It is about signing a contract with Columbia Records.

One cool thing about Pink Floyd is, even though the the songs flow into the next..it does not lessen the experience by liistening to each song individually & jumping albums. Pink Floyd understands consciousness and flows with it & not against it. They have faith in humanity's imagination on all levels. Noone can tell you how to listen to Pink Floyd because Pink Floyd is actually listening to you.

One of the first songs about not selling out to the corporate music industry.

Love this song. I hope you will do "Run Like Hell" at some point. It's quite different from a lot of the stuff you've done from the Floyds so far.

Studio version tho not the live

This song is of course from the Wish You Were Here album, which followed Dark Side of The Moon by two years. Dark Side of The Moon Was Still on the charts when this was released. (and would continue to chart for another eight years) Dark Side of The Moon was of course a mega hit, and Wish You Were Here, really tells the story of the immense pressure the band was put under by their label to try and duplicate that success. My favorite line in this song is "oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

Sonically Pink Floyd is the most amazing band ever. So many subtle layers under the main rhythm and their lyrics are always thought provoking!

This is s good example of the mid 70s funk that was used a lot at that time ..A very staple sound of that era and used right much on that album Wish You Were Here

I am reminded of the outstanding ‘funky’ part within Echoes (live, Pompeii)!

If you want to see something from them live, check out anything from the Pulse concert. Hey You and High Hopes are a couple you haven't done that were played there.

I hope you have another look at the band YES one of the best progressive rock bands fro the UK.If you do check out the song Roundabout it will give you a true taste of the band.Owner of a lonely heart was a good song but in my opinion not one of the best.The 60's and 70's albums are the best again in my opinion.Cheers and all the best from England and stay safe.

'Roundabout', 'I've Seen All Good People' or 'Yours Is No Disgrace' are all good. A little longer than other songs though

@@yelnek4548 Progressive rock songs or tunes are normally long.I was young lad back in the 70's we had some great bands like Pink Floyd. Yes, Camel,Emerson Lake and palmer et cetera. .

You never want a Pink Floyd song to end.

They build whole album songs back then . It continues !

Glad you all enjoy Pink Floyd so much - might be time for ‘Atom Heart Mother Suite’ or ‘Echoes Live in Pompeii.’

You're right, Amber, the lyrics are a stab at music industry 🤘👏

Good one is Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky and Shine on You Crazy Diamond

I'm a floydian for 48 years and I love watching Amber's reaction. I get to fall in love with Floyd all over again for the 1st time through Amber

The line "oh by the way, which one is Pink?" is based upon a real incident when the band met with a record producer who had no idea who they were. btw, this song leads into Wish You Were Here so they are best when listened to back to back. Of course it's best to listen to the entire album in one sitting.

And you guys still didn't react on "Shine on you Crazy Diamond"?? shame on you😀!

Damn Pink Floyd!!!👀🤩🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲

Big memories for me. Im a child of the hippie days and Floyd
