@@kaidenorgana5151 No it's not, guitar solos are just where the guitar takes centre stage & there's no vocals. I know it's called a 'solo' but I doubt you'll find many guitar solos where there is only 1 instrument being played. An interlude is when there is a break and music is played through the break.

Anti-greed song, sung ironically. Ties thematically to the "With, without" verse of Us and Them: "Out of the way, it's a busy day, I've got things on my mind/But for the price of tea and a slice, the old man died."

The beauty of Pink Floyd is that you always hear something different and I have been listening to them for 50 years!!

It's also a bit of an accidental necessity. Dave couldn't play his solo in 7/8 time time, so his solo is in 4/4. 🙂

The year was 1973. I was 8, and every day, we would ride to the local swimming lake to swim. There was about a half-dozen towers with speakers at the top. When this song would come on, one of the lifeguards would run in and turn it up, and pretty much everybody would stop and listen to this song. The guitar solo echoing off the surrounding hillsides and the surface of the water was magical, and never to be forgotten. I fell in love with Pink Floyd. My sister bought the record, and when she was out, I'd sneak into her room, and listen to it on her headphones. A few years later, she gave me the record. I'm guessing she knew I did that. ;-)

Their 1st single to break Billboard's Hot 100 in the USA. They made a lot of money of off "Money"! Thanks for your reaction.

Another great song which shows the intent of Dark Side to be a concept album. The use of the sound effects in the intro, just like with "Time", was innovative for the time. The sound engineer was Alan Parsons (pre-Alan Parsons Project) was instrumental in getting the effects just right. Even in later albums such as Wish You Were Here and The Wall, they used different sound effects.

RIP Rick wright

Man the memory of how big this song was when it first hit the radio. 1973. The ultimate cool song. The musical middle goes on and on. And it is all stupendous. And when I heard the entire album in one sitting for the first time ... I can feel it now. Yes -- hear AND feel it. And Pink Floyd didn't disappoint with their next 3 albums -- Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. There is no shame in loving on Money. An iconic song, for sure.

I have heard Pink Floyd since a long time,they’re a great band ❤all their songs are fantastic 🤘

I wouldn't concern myself too much with "getting" a song the first time around. Sure, it's very cool when it happens and some are easier than others but in most cases songs need more than one listen to really get them. Time is one of those songs for me too. It's easy for us who have listened to this stuff our whole lives to be like: "why don't you GET it?" but it is a bit unfair tbh.

Phil, you couldn't have shared your Pink Floyd experience any better. I think people forget what their first time hearing PF was like. We all sat there and tried to grasp wtf we just heard. The music & lyrics have so much weight & depth that it's impossible to catch it all on a first listen. Hell, I started listening at age 12 & 38 years later I'm still hearing new sounds. I even find new meaning as I've aged. Here's what I think. I watch 42 reaction channels over 4 years. There's many reactors who, no matter how much we explain the music to them, will never grasp it or even try to. They are simply making a video for views. YOU and a few others have shown the ability to hear, think, feel, & understand it. I believe people are hard on you because of that. You are very thoughtful & and eloquent, so much is expected of you. People love your reactions & are passionate about PF, so viewers really want to give you all the details. To the viewers, Phil & Sam really do read all the comments and are willing to explore PF. We can share the info kindly without criticism. Remember your first time hearing it? Exactly. P & S understand PF is in their own lane at this point. Share with love as PF would want us to.

The guitar solo section is in 4/4 time, but the rest of the song is in 5/4. For the sound effects intro, they took a section of tape for 4 bars, but cut it into 5 equal awctions. On each section, they put one money sound effect. Then they taped the the sections back together and put it on a loop machine. That's how they did it way before computers took over.

Each side of the album was meant to be played straight through with no breaks. For your own enjoyment, you should listen to it that way.

Pink Floyd is so philosophical, you always learn more about a song by hearing it in order in the album. The song after this is The Great Gig in the Sky. The line in Time. about the tolling of the iron Bell and the softly spoken magic spell is about a funeral. 😢 But the next song on the album is a mourning song with no words. It is a must. But each Pink Floyd album is a concept album, a story album. It all fits together. Some reactors are reacting to entire albums, one song at a time or one side at a time. That's how you get to know Pink Floyd for real.

I got a kick out of the lyric caption at the beginning that said Guitar Solo when it was a saxophone solo 😂. Anyway, Pink Floyd are phenomenal!❤❤

It starts in 7/8 thru to the sax solo. It changes up to a 4/4 for the guitar solo and that was because Gilmour could not solo over a 7/8 without sounding too much like the sax. Then it comes back to 7/8 for the outro verse

Nice catch on the guitar solo. One of my favorite effects. After Gilmour plays a while with that big soaring cavernous sound, like you would imagine he would sound on a big stage in a big arena, all the reverb and echo is abruptly pulled out, so that the sound is very dry and intimate, like he's playing on a little shoebox amp in a bedroom somewhere.

@@jonathanlocke6404 Maybe -- regarding the 'dry' guitar -- compression limits the change between loud and soft (the dynamic range), and it was definitely kept at a pretty even volume. But, I think they also cut out (or filtered) the high and low frequency harmonics, i.e., I think they pinched the bandwidth.

I encountered it when I was young and yeah it's definitely difficult to take in all the stuff they're doing. But I think for most of us, it was just the texture of it and the ambience and just the way they put all these different things together in such a new way and yet such a relatable way and yet such a creative powerful visceral way. And then as the lyrics slowly started to sink in, that just added a massive Wallop to it ultimately. Even on a slow song.

I love this song and I love this whole album.

One of the best pieces of music ever written 🤘

Can never go wrong with Floyd! To address your comments about the guitar solos, sounding full or close in, yeah, sections of the solo are drenched in reverb and delay giving it that full, big in a hall sound. And when the guitar sounds like it comes in close as you said, it’s basically what we call very dry with all reverb and delay removed, just the raw tone coming out of the amp. It’s used to great effect in this song!

Plus the sound of electro-mechanical telephone equipment.That's what you hear in the right-hand channel.

I don't see that anyone else mentioned it, but, the voices at the end, one of them, "I certainly was in the right" was Paul McCartney, who was in the studio when they were recording.

When you hear Money, You have to hear it quoted in Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd from the movie and record The Wall

Pink Floyd's albums need to be played in order of songs because they tell a story, especially Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall albums. That being said you really need to listen the live versions from the Pulse concerts. Gonna blow you away! Peace.

That sound at the beginning is what old fashioned cash registers sounded like.

Their greatest lyrical song is Great gig in the Sky, their absolute best song they ever made.

Love Pink Floyd!

The 'hand dancing' cracks me up a little.

best listened to in the dark, a big easy chair reclined way back, volume up! eyes closed... and then let the album teach you its lessons, with no distractions. (the above applies to ANY Pink Floyd album.👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦

It’s very unusual for someone to listen to every aspect of these songs in the first listening.

Great gig in the sky. Must hear track!

Check out track 1 on any album produced by Alan Parsons. You will see a theme. The genius here is how these rockers took his idea and guidance to a whole new level, but he found a formula and every album follows it perfectly. This is true art at it's very finest!

Trust me, I'm not the biggest Pink Floyd fan by any stretch of the imagination (and this is coming from a guy who bought "The Wall" new in 1979), but I do believe that the "Dark Side of the Moon" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. That being said, the lyric video to have watched by Pink Floyd was "Time". Some of the greatest lyrics ever written are in that song. You may want to revisit "Time", but this time, with the lyric video. And more led Zeppelin please! I highly recommend the studio recording of the song "Since I've Been loving You" off of the album Led Zeppelin III. Peace

Two very very strong video suggestions: "Sorrow" from Live Pulse and "On The Turning Away" remastered Delicate Sound Of Thunder. Every aspect of these two specific performances will move you both to a higher level. Just stunningly beautiful !

Great song, you need to hear the whole album, it would blow your minds! Also try Echoes Live in Pompeii, it is in 2 parts because it opened and closed the concert movie about the event in the Roman Amphitheater there. Outstanding and enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

My 2-years older brother , like many such, turned me on to SO much great rock and roll in the 70's! Like this. We both had a "Turbo-Christian" period of a couple of years, and my bro said -- correctly -- that "see? even Pink Floyd gets it wrong. It's not MONEY that's the root of all evil, but the Bible says the LOVE OF money." Life wouldn't work without money. But some people -- and it IS easy to see why, lol! -- make their life ABOUT money.

Among the musicians there are jazz, there are rock musicians, and there is Pink Floyd - an organic combination of rock and jazz. And this combination of styles makes them especially attractive.

Loving your reactions. You're both on a journey of generations. As on old guy I thank you. ❤

Any song from Pulse is worth a shot. As for "Dark Side of the Moon" I bought my first copy back in high school in '73. In the last fifty years I've owned a copy on vinyl, 8-track, cassette and compact disc. I've also owned an Original Master Recording virgin vinyl album and Super Audio CD.

Pink Floyd is my favorite band. They’re just on another stratosphere

Pure genius. Iconic song and killer album. This level of musicality which was more common in the late sixties and seventies has not been matched since. The talent is off the charts.

Great reaction! Prog bands at the time were limited to two sides of an LP. Which was about 20 min. give or take. each side. Listening to one side, or half the album, is perfectly fine. It is how its produced. I wish people would stop insisting on the whole album at once, or its somehow not a legitimate listen. With a lot of prog music, you need more than one listen and time to digest all that just went on anyways. So a break before you 'flip the record' is warranted.

the sound at the beginning is actaully an old fashioned mechanical Telephone exchange which was still in use when the album was recorded.

My very first concert as a kid, check the great gig in the sky

This Bars and Barbells brother and sister duo is cool!!! 😎

Untouchable guitar solo

The Beatles used tons of sound effects in their music all the way back before before Pink Floyd came on the scene. The Beatles were first many many musical category's

Didn't see this in the comments yet... the song is mostly in 7:8 time. The sax solo continues the beat and then it switches to 4:4 time for David Gilmour's guitar solo, then goes back to 7:8 time for the next verse. Even though Gilmour is considered an amazing guitar player, he supposedly had trouble conceiving a solo in that time signature. My favorite Floyd song is "Wish You Were Here" - it's an homage to one of the groups founders, Syd Barrett, who ended up in an asylum - combination of drugs and anxiety. He left long before this album. The Barrett driven albums were very trippy - sometimes sounded like the Beatles on acid - other times like a never ending space journey and insane riffing. Love your takes on the music I grew up with. It's like reliving hearing it for the first time. I'd like to see you do some palatable prog rock... say Yes - Roundabout? You'd be surprised at the level of musicianship and still funky and catchy.

David's guitar sound is so clear and clean -- I love it when he hits the really high notes. Mmmmmmm.

Pink Floyd is a lifetime endeavor, so yes, just relax and enjoy the ride 😁

In the song Another Brick in the Wall when the teacher makes fun of the schoolboy for writing poems the lines he reads out are this song about buying a football team. Little bit of trivia for you.

Another one from the Pulse concert is Run, also check out the studio version of Another brick in the wall, part 2.

If you're familiar with the movie, "The Wizard Of Oz", you may have heard about combining the movie with the soundtrack of the "Dark Side Of The Moon" album playing. It has been put together as a compilation on KZread under the name, "The Dark Side Of Oz". At the beginning of the movie, it is in black and white but after the house lands in the Land of Oz, Dorothy opens the door and everything outside is suddenly in vibrant color. It is right at that instant that you hear the cash sounds beginning this song.

D S O T M is a work of art, it is a concept style album with each track being a continuation of the story from the previous track. That's why we all say you've got to listen start to finish, you lose the continuity by chopping the album like watching the middle of a film before seeing the start.

When the words "Guitar Solo" appear in the video it is actually a saxophone solo followed by a guitar solo.

Great stuff form pink floyd . A must of the album for me is the great gig in the sky . If you don’t tear up , well !

The bass at the beginning was a different time than when the guitar came in. Good catch.

My all time favorite Pink Floyd song.

You definitely need to watch Echoes, live from the ruins of Pompeii. It's UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!

My dad used to play this song a lot when I was a kid. Love it 😁

This classic song by Pink Floyd utilizes a 7/4 time signature. The odd time keeps the song moving forward and gives it a heightened sense of urgency befitting the lyrics.

7/4 time, 4/4 for Gilmour solo, back to 7/4 got to love it! Recorded at Abby Road Studio, there might be a Beatle in there near the end talking. One of the few songs you crank up at the end to hear the outro. "I was really Drunk at the Time..." Have to listen to this, in the dark with the Black light on your black light posters, with a little buzz.

shine on you crazy diamond by pink floyd is often referred to as their best record and is great but their masterpiece is welcome to the machine-

Two things about this song 1- the beginning cash register and change was from Roger Waters wife's store that she bought , Roger was just recording sounds and connected them in the song 2- the people talking at the end was Roger again , he walked around the studio building asking everyone with a tape recorder "What was the last fight you had" the old guy saying "I don't know I was really drunk at the time" made Roger laugh lol

Thanks for old rock n roll.

I love that opening money sound. Great song!

With Pink Floyd in particular you should listen to the studio version of the song. Modern time music is made to be seen on cell phones and such. BUT in the 1970s music was to be heard on the stereo. It is music to LISTEN to not watch. The crafting of the sound is very important and so as such the sound is extremely important. This is pretty much true of all progressive rock music, with the possible exception of Jethro Tull because to see Ian Anderson is just to entertaining...he is wild!

Somehow I never fully realized that most of this was in 7/4 time signature. Cool

If you like Pink Floyd you need to watch the live concert “Delicate Sound of Thunder” on KZread, filmed on 35mm in 1988, best Floyd concert ever

Pink floyd YOUNG LUST

"The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.''

You should check the live pulse version, the way they strip it down is coool

I love how it says guitar solo and then it's a saxophone

'Are You Being Served?', a 1972 British comedy, similarly uses the old cash register effect at the opening of their intro. Coincidence?

My choice of track to listen to both on the album and at the Pulse concert would be Great Gig in The Sky. Awesome on both. I can't decide which one to listen to first.. They're both amazing. Probably the live one because I can't quite belive thing singers are THAT good live!
