No need to insult David Gilmore, he’s better than God.

Pink Floyd were the MASTERS of the MIX; you can always hear every instrument, and the lead instrument. Amazing harmonies. Never too loud, and crystal clear vocals. Yeah we were spoiled, spoiled then and still are! Welcome to the brotherhood!

You are right! We WERE spoiled growing up in the era of Pink Floyd…rock and roll was SO GOOD in the 60’s and 70’s! Pink Floyd is the best of the Progressive Rock era. You cannot dance to this kind of music. But it takes you somewhere. We used to come home from school or work and put on headphones, turn on all this great music, turn up the volume and get lost in the journey. It was a form of meditation. It opened our minds. Where did these talents come from? Heaven, I think. That’s how it felt. If you like this music….there is more of this genre to love! Not just Pink Floyd, either. Moody Blues, Genesis, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and YES, just to name a few! When I was in High School, one of my neighbors from my class got a Pink Floyd album in the mail when he joined a Columbia Record club. We had never heard of them before. He called me over to his house and he said, “you have to listen to this album!” We probably played that album over and over for a few hours. He had four speakers, one in each corner of the room, and he turned up the volume. We were mesmerized! He rolled a joint and we were gone. We hung out a lot in the early 70’s, just listening to the albums coming in the mail. Record stores were making a fortune back then! Everybody was introducing albums they had heard with everyone else, sharing what they had been hearing. We drove around in cars with friends just listening to the radio and tapes. We went to see every band who came in concert. Some of those bands would play for 4 hours or more in concert! And they sounded just like the albums…such talent! By the way, my neighbor friend became Valedictorian of my graduating class. That music expanded our minds!

This Album was my Very 1st introduction to pink Floyd and it was totally by accident. On April 29th of 1979 i turned 11 years old, and my mom bought me the Greatest Gift ever... A Sony Walkman and a Kiss Cassette ( Detroit Rock City ) was so happy!!! I was walking to my friend's house to show him this New Technological Wonder... and on the way, off to the side of the road, i saw a Memorex Recordable Cassette Tape with the word "animals." Written on it. I put it in my Walkman and was totally blown away with the cornucopia of sounds, music, left and right stereo bouncing off oboth off my ears... Dogs barking in the left headphone speaks while amazing guitar solos emanating from the right headphone speaker. I never made it to my friends house because i sat on a rock in the woods and listened to that album 6 times.. i listened until it got dark, and i had to go home, i listened in my bed falling asleep, and i still have not stopped listening to Pink Floyd for the entity of my life. This is still my favorite album to fall asleep to, and i have so generously passed down all of the great music i grew up on to my 16 years old son!!!!

David Gilmour is on the guitar . One of the most creative and toaching soul guitarplayer in the world

I was spoiled for sure! Listening to this while driving on a snowy winter night during the 70's....priceless!

I was 14 in 1994 when the Division Bell tour came to Rice Stadium in Houston - Dad bought tickets and took me. RAINED like a tropical event at one point, and SMACK dab in the beginning of starting Great Gig in the Sky (about halfway through the entire set list), they had to stop the concert and shut it down; the guitarists were getting shocked because everything was so wet. So I only got to see half of that concert. Even with that, STILL TO DATE the absolute BEST concert I have ever been to in my entire life, and I've been to quite a few!

Impeccable guitar solos in this one. He can make that guitar weep...like crying angels. David Gilmour's style is soooo gooood!!

I’m still amazed that there are so many people that have either a) never heard of Pink Floyd till now and/or b) Heard OF them and that’s where their knowledge of the band just stopped. It’s nice to see so many younger kids (I’m almost 48) discover them and be totally amazed. I’ve been a fan of Floyd for literally decades and I still love hearing their music. Now if all you’ve ever heard so far are just songs you’re HALFWAY there to understanding the real Floyd. They don’t tour that often anymore, but you can easily find them on KZread. You’ve heard and now it’s time to see. A Pink Floyd concert is truly truly incredible. Their concerts, if you were to imagine two half circles, are like taking the one half (sound) and joining it with the other half (visual) to create the WHOLE Floyd experience. One last thing you’ll notice is that Pink Floyd, out of all the bands and singers out today, yesterday and years ago are part of a small group of bands that are BETTER when seen live! They not not sound just as good as they do on an album, they sound even better!

You are absolutely correct about us being spoiled. We never gave it a second thought. It was good, it was there, and we lost it. Thank god you are saving it and letting me revisit it before I go.

I went to every Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin concerts that came to town back in the 70's, starting with Dark Side of the Moon, wish I could go back to that time in my life

Pink Floyd live is/was amazing. I first saw Floyd in April 1975 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, NY. They opened with "One of These Days" from the Meddle album. They then asked the crowd if we minded if they tried out their yet to be released next album, "Wish You Were Here". We got to hear the entire album, in order a couple months before they released it to the public. They took a 10 minute intermission and came back and played the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album, in order. They left as the crowd was shaking the place for an encore. They came back out and performed a 40 minute version of "Echoes" from the Meddle album as the encore. I have seen hundreds of concerts in the years since but the introduction to Pink Floyd live still remains the most memorable concert that I have attended. It was a sight and sound extravaganza. I had eighth row floor seats and it only cost me $7.50 face price. By far, the BEST Concert value, EVER

The holy trinity of sound. Dark side of the moon. Wish you were here. Animals. Binge listen, no need to skip a thing.

This dude hasn't posted a video in two years. I just stumbled in here. Too bad, he seems like a nice chap, and really into Floyd.

In 1977 I saw Pink Floyd on the Animals tour at Soldiers Field in Chicago. I was 15. Spoiled is right. Amazing to see you dig this so, so, so deeply. Thanks for your reactions!

Blunts + Headphones + Pink Floyd = Trip.

Preston, I've been watching your "experiences" listening to music I grew up with and have enjoyed deeply re-experiencing the music almost as though for the first time simply by following your authentic, honest enthusiasm. It's a joy to see. As a few people have commented, they're jealous for what you have ahead of you: so much music from that era that was crafted for art purposes, not simply as a product, which is where the music industry largely is today for a variety of reasons. Album sales revenues back then, when Animals was made, were substantial, and that $ meant the record labels allowed artists to take months/years/$ to create works such as Pink Floyd's Animals, because the sales would support that investment. We're in a different time today, as we know. But...at the pace you're going, you literally have a decade or two ahead of simply taking in the massive amount of quality guitar-oriented rock music created in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s....etc. You have a wonderful, joyous journey ahead of you. Keep listening and we'll keep tuning in.

Yes...I greatly enjoy the purity and sincerity of Preston's reactions. One thing that's different when comparing his age to mine when I first heard this music is he's older, and his music-listening experience is broader than mine. I see that as an advantage that provides additional perspective compared to me when I was, say, 15. I had little perspective, so while the music was captivating, I couldn't see it (yet) as a part of a larger tapestry. The fact that he has more experience and then still finds the essential magic in older music is all the more impressive.

Saw Pink Floyd concert in 1977 - played entire Animals Album, took a break, and then entire Wish You Were Album; was amazing experience; they left, the crowd wanted an encore, didn't let up for about 30 - 40 minutes, and finally they came back and played "Money". They are the GOAT. Nowadays, you can get the next best thing, a PF tribute band "Brit Floyd", they're scheduled to do touring again in 2021, check to see if they're in a city near you - highly recommend (seen them 3 times).

Preston, I can't imagine what it must be like for you crash coursing on all this great music at a time when nothing new like this is being put out. Most of us discovered and explored these great songs bit by bit, spread out over decades. You've been guzzling from a fire hydrant.

How I discovered that my dog understands English. I spoke only Russian and Georgian to her. So, she listens to the words "dragged down by the stone" and runs to me with tears in her eyes (beautiful eyes of a redtick coonhound!), looks deep in my eyes: You are not going to do this to me? - Never! That was it. If a dog appreciates the music, that's top grade.

Pink floyd music always makes me cry. Then picks me up. Its like therapy

With Pink Floyd, it usually goes with us fans as “ this is our favorite song” to “ this is our favorite album “because almost all of their albums is an experience . Animals is an underrated wunderpiece.

PINK FLOYD “DOGS “ is the one and only song that even the fans underestimate. It has everything that PF has in its arsenal. Since I first heard “DOGS” I’ve been looking, looking for a way back to a time when I never heard it before. So I could sit, listen and recall what it’s like to hear for the first time. Enjoy it, because you have in your soul. And like me, this...........music will never leave you...GM,
