me too on my lazy boy 67 listening! saw them in concert around 1980 Madison Sq garden did the Trips an anything else i could get my hands on an still above ground!

One of my favorite songs from one of the greatest albums of all time. I saw them in concert at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia in 1988 when I was 16. When the chorus hits, the red colored lights that were all pointing in at the center of the screen behind the band all spun around, turned bright white and faced the audience lighting it up. It was a profound experience, one I will NEVER forget.

Between March 1, 1973 to November 30, 1979, Pink Floyd released "The Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall". What must of it been like for other bands of the era? "Oh, Pink Floyd just released another album, f**k it, we'll drop ours next year," LOL

An absolute classic. So far ahead of its time it still sounds fresh today. Dark side of the moon was a work of genius. Saw them live at Wembley 1986....i was completely mesmerised

What a great way to start my Friday!! Thanks guys. Probably one of my top 5 Pink Floyd songs. The sounds, the feeling, the lyrical meaning...it's pure perfection! (as is this whole album). The sax definitely adds to the beauty of this piece. I've looked through your Floyd reactions, and you have yet to do Welcome To The Machine!! If you're up for a dark, synthy track, with lyrics that again are on point, then look no further. And if you guys are up for a long reaction, then you MUST do Echoes!

One of the staples on ,perhaps, the greatest rock n roll record ever made. Potheads rejoice everywhere !

Dark Side Of The Moon was one of my all time favourite albums and my favourite Floyd album. Then I saw Roger Waters play The Wall front to back live and that's now my favourite Floyd album.

Such a beautiful song. This whole album was a masterpiece. Enjoyed your reaction to a timeless classic. Thumbs up!! You definitely do get lost in the serenity of the song

As a teenager, I used to lay in the dark on my bed not moving a muscle and listen to this album. You feel like you're floating.

Songs can be a lot like a story or a movie, like you said. Good ones can get you interested, great ones make you ask questions but the best ones make you question everything. Hats off to Floyd for being the best.

Thank you for reviewing Pink Floyd.

20, 50, 100 years from now people will still be listening to and marveling at this stunning piece of art

I remember so many nights in college, stoned out of my mind, listening to Pink Floyd, talking about all the mysteries of life and the universe with my friends…40+ years ago. And the music still holds up.

Try Fearless from the Meddle album, its as laid back as they come.

Smokey is correct. The song is about conflict at every level, from war, propaganda, down to ignoring a beggar. The wealthy few (them) need to divide the majority (Us). We (Us) aren't enemies. We should love each other. The *ONLY* enemy (them) are those few who want to keep all of *Us* divided. Best Wishes, All. ☮

Even still, those few are still a part of us.

Yes Tommy Lee Jones played Two-Face..in Batman Forever

Everything pink floyd does is just dope.. definitely experienced..

"Us" are the people that wish to get on with our lives, in peace and friendship. "Them" are those who do everything they can to stop us achieving that.

"With...Without...and who'll deny, it's what the fighting's all about". That line sums up all wars since the dawn of time.

When I was growing up we had Laser Floyd! The planetarium would have nights for the teenagers or whoever and play this album to a laser show it was phenomenal. Pink Floyd is one of my mom’s favorite bands, we were on a road trip and got caught in a wicked lightning storm in Utah one time, she pulled out her Wish You Were Here CD and we just cruised on through with the laser show from nature, great memories. Has anyone told you guys about KoRn doing Another Brick In The Wall…Definitely worth checking out especially Live 🤘🏼💕✨

Morning fellas! I love watching y'all get so into the music! (Hollywoods excitement he shows for certain songs is awesome to watch! Makes me happy!) Music is the shit, the way it touches each person differently!🙂 And pink Floyd i think, touches people in their souls in different ways! This is such a good freakin song!!! Next try "Learning to fly".. great song❤️🤓❤️

this is why we watch your channel. i always say to everyone that i come in contact with “ put yourself in other people’s shoes”. the whole world needs to do that more. great video.

I really loved both of your reactions to this. The song itself is hypnotizing add to that you guy’s vibing to it almost put me in a trance.😂 I could listen to you two talking about music all day it’s always interesting.❤

Ive been listening to Pink Floyd for decades, and love it now as much as back then, the music really is timeless. thanks so much for this video 👍

Back in the '70s us boys would sit around and drink mushroom tea or smoke some opium and relax to some Floyd. Great memories!! (what I can remember of them)

I love this album! Heard it for the first time in 1973 and I was only 11 years. I was in awe. There was nothing like this and there never will. David’s guitar takes you to heaven! Now that I’m 61 I even love Pink Floyd more!

been a floyd fan for over 40 years & best live concert i ever saw

A top 10 song from the greatest band ever 👍

One does not simply "Listen" to Pink Floyd.... you "Experience" them. It's been said that David Gilmour doesn't use an amplifier.... he plugs his guitar straight into your soul!!

Love the sax on this. But Hollywood have you ever heard the sax on “Two Suns in the Sunset” from The Final Cut? If you haven’t….well check out that whole album. It’s more of a Waters album but it’s much of the stuff that was cut from The Wall. A lot of the war themes come up in Floyd’s music because Water’s father was killed in action during WWII. Again, check out The Final Cut. 🙂

Pink Floyd is and will always be my most favorite band. Animals is probably their most underrated album. It’s so good though.

50 years ago this summer, when someone gave me some windowpane, a set of headphones, and this album from start to finish. What a wonderful trip!

If one is open to it,, Pink Floyd has the unique ability to carry your mind off through the universe.

Had to take a 4hr flight to see these guys in Toronto in 1994 The division Bell tour IT Was Worth it

The end of this on the album transitions perfectly right into Any Colour You Like. It’s such a smooth transition that if you’re listening to it, it sounds like an outro to Us and Them.

Animals is Pink Floyd's best and most underrated album.

You guys genuinely love music. Smoke went off to his own world

PF and Tool are the only too bands that always make me feel like I'm floating!

'94 was a great year for concerts! I saw Pink Floyd "Division Bell" (Pulse), the Grateful Dead w/Sting, Clapton and the Rolling Stones w/ Counting Crows warming up.. The Grateful Dead was a trip...cough...lol

So there is a misconception with the two as many seem to get them confused or assume they're the same thing, but this song is much closer to Jazz than Blues. Jazz for the most part is a cleaner amalgamation of complex chords with a chilled atmosphere, though can also be much more energetic with blaring horns and drums, but is often remembered for it's softer cool approach, such as on this song. Blues however is very different from Jazz, in that it's very simple when it comes to chords, often utilising a 1-4-5 progression, using add-7 modifiers, and melodies built on Pentatonic scales. That might not mean much to you if you don't know much about theory, but it does show when breaking down on that level. Generally, it's a very simple genre that uses elements of Soul and Folk in the vocals. Blues doesn't usually have saxophone or brass, but more often has guitars and keys. It should be noted that Jazz does use the Blues in its structure, but it's transformed and built-on with strictness and precision, whereas Blues is very laid back and minimalist. Pink Floyd dabbled in both, mostly Blues, but this song is an example of their more Jazz flavoured styles. You can tell by the chord progression in the piano and the drum arrangements. That third chord in the main piano line is very Jazzy in its use of dissonance.

Dark side of the Moon became a sort of an anthem album of the 1970s. Now it’s timeless.

I saw them in concert at Madison Square Garden NY I guess early 80s it was great.The lighting was incredible.

Leave it to Pink Floyd to address war & conflict in their most beautiful song. Thanks for your reaction.

these guys were the masters of their craft.absolutely brilliant for their fairly young age at the time in 73.wise beyond their years.

EVERYONE at least once in life should,, get comfortable,, put on your headphones & turn to max volume,, turn off the lights & listen to the whole album..TRUST ME!!

Probably my favorite Floyd song (Top 3 at least). I've seen a tribute band called Brit Floyd three times, they played this song two of those times, and it made me cry.

Words of wisdom from Smokey.

I never paid attention to how beautiful his voice was, their music takes me back to a time period I was never at but I walk away as if I was, does that make sense?

There isn't a single bad song on that album. It's best listened to in it's entirety while stretched out in a dark room with good headphones. The use of a little bit of the special green herb, while not completely necessary, does enhance the experience.

I concur

Such a great take in this song, its about how we are all the same as humans but are divided against each other by the powerful, the media, those that have the most already and benefit from pitting people against each other to maintain their status.

I mention this every now and then on PF reactions. During the Apollo 11 moon mission, the BBC had PF playing freeform instrumentals live (in studio) to the NASA animation. They played for hours. I was living in London (for college) at the time. It was a magnificent experience.

Speaking of Fleetwood Mac and blues. You guys are already due to react to the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green. You guys should listen to any live version of "Black Magic Woman", which is originally by them not Sanatana.

“Experiences”. With you. I have experiences with Pink Floyd all the time. And without outside influences. Pink Floyd is just so deep that I don’t need any help getting there.

This song was written by David Gilmour and Richard Wright. Weight could play any keyboard, had a beautiful voice and did amazing arrangements. Sadly, he died a few years ago.

Pink Floyd has an album called THW WALL...They also put out a MOVIE called the wall which is excellent.. I recommend both

I was 13 when this came out, it happened to coincide with my first hit of acid, I loved it of course and became a regular thing, it's hard to put in words tripping to floyds music.

It was designed and purpose to transition from one to the other without break. The whole idea was that you would be able to tune in and then tune out and just go on the ride with them. They hated the three minute format that the radio stations wanted everybody to conform to. They were looking to make a magnum opus.

I remember getting dosed with LSD without my knowledge in high school. I ended up on someones couch with headphones listening to this album on an 8 track just looping for several hours. Wildest trip I ever had.

The name Pink Floyd comes from the given names of two prominent blues musicians, who Barrett loved: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Oh yes more Pink Floyd reactions plz .The album A momentary lapse of reason is such a wonderful eargasm .( one slip , on the turning away , dogs off war ) Or any track from The wall .

This album has charted a combined 950+ weeks, and an average week (to this day) has between 8000 and 9000 sales. How's that for staying power - over 50 years and still outselling a lot of new releases. To my mind, the 'perfect' album, front to back. As always, Pink Floyd don't simply plug into their equipment, they plug directly into your soul - one doesn't simply listen to them - you have an emotional experience as well. Just let the sound fill and flow through you.

Many composers had a fifth symphony, in fact Haydn composed over 100. There's many an old joke about people being asked who composed Beethoven's fifth symphony and they answer with any one but the clue in the question.

This was my very first concert, thanks to my big brother

Just recently bought the DSOTM vinyl. And damn is this song amazing

Please, more react on a Pink Floyd song ^^

hahahahahha, dancing bear shirt? wonderful!

Still waiting for early Genesis. Like Firth Of Fifth or Musical Box, you will be blown away

Listening to one song from dark side of the Moon is like reading, one line from a poem or one chapter of a great novel. it is a masterpiece it is a statement it is a classical work of art. The whole album has a point each song has a meaning that they need every one of them to make that point please Smokey do what you do so well before you drop the needle on the record and listen to the whole damn album and you’ll see why it is called the greatest piece of music of the 20th century

An all time classic guys. If you've ever seen any footage of Roger Waters last couple of world tours this song will break your heart with visuals that encapsulate the grief, pain, devastation, hostility, insanity of war and overall, the general imbalance, struggle and unfairness between the lower to upper class in society . Not that the lyrics aren't clear in their initial intent, but it's worth watching to feel those hard emotions truly hitting home. *edit* I believe that "Out of the way it's a busy day, I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice, The old man died" relates to an employed, possibly slightly more wealthy man walking along a street here in the UK who chooses to ignore a homeless person asking for some small change for a cup of tea or some food. A problem that hasn't changed in the UK or many other places in 50 years. The rich still get richer and the poor still struggle , nothing ever changes. Floyd spoke of this so long ago.

Smokey’s got it just about right…..war, yes…but dichotomies of all sorts; between people, ideas, situations, etc.

Obscured by Clouds and The Final Cut por favor.

Hollywood-"Experiences"..hmmmm. lol🍄??😂

Opposites and the same....... Us and them

I can get high just listening to Floyd.

The entire Dark Side of the Moon album needs to be listened to it's entirety to appreciate it

And arguably the most recognisable album sleeve ever.

Nothing like going old school at a Pink Floyd concert just pop a little cid sit back and enjoy.

The meaning of the song is about division of the masses, keeping us divided ("with..without", notice there was no echo after "without"?). The rich against the poor. United we stand, divided we fall. It's the perfect revolution song. Pretty damn good song too. Roger Waters is a Rock God and revolutionary. Don't let them drag ya down.

Pink Floyd & Bowie were always inventing new sounding concepts of music that is why they are timeless. An if you want a different kind of Floyd landscape try High Hope you guy are just going to live the doanish guitar & the steel guitar in there. An if you're up to it try this band New York Dolls one of the bands that help pave the way for both Glam rock & New York Punk scene their song Pesonality Criss will have you chuckling a bit here & there song is from the year" 73". Love the way you guys just love music. P.s New York Dolls help influence alot of other bands such as Kiss
