@@abracadabra3033 its "Great Gig in the Sky". If you really want to take a trip with Pink Floyd listen to "Echoes" You've been warned. Its about 20 minutes long and... You've been warned. Twice. 👍
This album, “Dark Side of the Moon” is a Concept album. The themes explore conflict, greed, time, death and mental illness. It is meant to be listened in order tracks 1-10 .. the songs stand on their own, but the real Journey the band wanted listeners to experience was as a whole...its 43 minutes..but so worth it! It is among the most critically acclaimed records in history, often featured on lists of the greatest albums..If you’ve ever got time for a mellow, trippy 40 minutes .. I recommend it.
Pink Floyd is on a level of timeless genius. It's exhilarating to see someone learn to appreciate them. It's like watching someone opening a big present
Pink Floyd studio version of "Great Gig in the Sky" Featuring Miss Clare Torry. One of the greatest vocal performances ever. Improvised on the spot and layed down in one take. You won't be disappointed.
Just turned 20 and this is one of the only songs I can say I have a decade now of listening to, and while it's beautiful, and 10 years ago feels like a lifetime ago, I can only fear how quickly the next 20 will come and go. Another song called Time by Big Wreck also put into perspective how quickly it passes.
My favorite Pink Floyd album is "Animals." But this is the hands down classic. Doesn't it hold the record for how long a record was on the Billboard charts? It was was on the charts continuously for like 25 years or something. No other album ever came close.
Regarded by some. I enjoy The Wall and Animals immensely. Not sure I could pick a favorite. Wish You Were Here is of course an excellent album as well. Lots of great stuff. Not common among even other "Great Bands."
@@davidtingley9978 agree better than the studio solo of CN, but the live PULSE performance of CN - his solo is the emotional roller coaster ride of the century, just unbeatable
After I seen them at the Oakland Coliseum, 1994 Division Bell tour. I realised 2 days later I had just sampled the best mind altering substance ever, without taking a puff,line,or pill. Glad I was part of that time.
this album is dark side of the moon, probably the most recognsed album cover in the world, think its second or third biggest selling album of all time, it remained on the charts for 15 years, it`s a continuous album no breaks so should be listened to in 1 go. i`m happy you`ve found the floyd and being a hip hop guy, you`ll appreciate Roger waters who is a master lyricist, there is nobody like him. and also david gilmour voice and guitar, there is nobody like him, he can make that guitar sing and stir up your emotions, rick wright keyboards and piano, sublime, and nick mason is a pretty good drummer. the album deals with the human condition, you`ll feel that when you listen to it :)
I love watching people’s reactions to older music, i grew up in the 70’s with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Deep Purple and was fortunate to see these bands in concert Vancouver Canada, i never get tired of their music and now i get to watch people’s reactions to the music i still love and that makes it very special ✨🇨🇦😊
This song is so beautiful. Its so terrifying at the same time. For a moment you are young, then in no time you are living your final days thinking about all the opportunities you didnt take advantage of. All the risks you didnt take and the moments you let pass by. Thats the vibes this song gives me.
It’s so rad how people from a hip hop background acknowledge and appreciate the musical arrangements in music. Seems like they get it more than anyone else. Great video
@@WolffeTheRapper I have seen Pink Floyd as a whole, Roger Water solo, David Gilmour solo about 15 times combined. They usually get two or even three ladies to get Great gig in the sky covered. I never saw the band with Claire Torrey singing it.
On one of their biography videos, the band describes how the clock chimes at the beginning were all individual tracks recorded by Alan Parsons (the producer of DSOM). They had to use stop watches and tape meters to know when to start each one. Truly analog at its best.
"They mastered sounds." Well-said. Their music is transporting and transformative. Easy to get lost in it, and always a DEEP journey to take. Glad you liked it!
You, bringing content to folks that would NEVER have known/bothered/been exposed... that's the real value. Thanks for presenting this. Ive been a Pink Floyd fan since I was 12. Its awesome to watch someone discover it all as I did... and Led Zepplin, and Black Sabbath.... man you really reached out looking for a broad spectrum 7o to you sir
I would give anything to do that, honestly. The best i can do is buy as many records i can for my turntable. Got the final cut and dark side of the moon so far.
@@keithdavies150 I saw that as well but it was too many people covering the songs... I saw PF with and without Waters. Musically no real difference. I did actually prefer all three of the other times I saw Waters alone than the one time I saw Gilmour.
Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album ever written. Every song on it is standout beautiful. When I was much younger we used to get really high and listen to this and just fall into it, but now while I'm sober I can do exactly the same, get absorbed by then, and never get tired of hearing them.
You might want to see the guys back in the day. Check out PF "Echoes" - Live at Pompeii where they play in an empty Roman Amphitheater with no audience apart from a bunch of ghosts perhaps 😉 Anyway if you think the studio stuff is trippy, "buckle up dorethy, kansas is about to go bye bye" !
My brother, there are four essential Pink Floyd albums you must listen to and collect. The Wall, Dark Side Of The Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here. They are awesome!!!
The final cut is one of my favourites and so is the division bell, but those 4 are definitely REALLY good picks. (Edit) Cant forget Obscured by clouds, it came before dark side of the moon.
Nice reaction, a lot of reactors say the same thing, that it didnt feel like 7 mins or in some cases with pink floyd songs, over 20 mins. You wont regret exploring more of their masterpieces
@@jarhead4ever1 I too think it's the best solo, i was at the concert. but take a listen to the uncut version, in the following link. the solo is 2 minutes longer. th-cam.com/video/cmZFGDbCWoE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for reacting to this. Oh man, Pink Floyd was my 19 year old son's favourite band. We introduced PF to him a few years ago. At his recent funeral we played several PF tracks. Listening to "Time" (and any PF track, really) makes my heart ache. x
I'm sorry for your loss , my condolence, i'm glad that you got to share that with him , i know it was definitely a bonding moment to share amd relate to the music , Time was a journey for me , again i'm sorry , but know that he's in a better place watching over you while listening to Pink Floyd smiling
Like others have said, this album is all tied together. Find your favorite place to relax, put in your earbuds, and listen to the whole album non-stop. You WON'T regret it.
I know its from another song in the album but the lyrics that hit me the most are "Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave"
If you wanna go on a journey, put on your headphones, and listen to this album in its entirety, it’s actually designed to be heard that way. The song “The Great Gig In The Sky” is meant to be heard directly after this song.
While I would never ever give up the decades I've spent listening to and living in PF's music, I have to say I'm jealous that you're discovering it as an adult. You have so much more living behind you at this stage of your life, this stuff HAS to rock your soul in ways I can't imagine that it could have had you been younger. I think that's pretty righteous. 😊💜💚💛✌️
This album Dark side of the moon, has been used to test audiophile stereo's since it was released, the quadrophonic version made 4d sound systems popular in the mid 70's.
That's awesome that you're getting plugged into the Floyd! My favorite album is 'Meddle', by them. If you want to leave the solar system, without a ship, listen to Meddle.
They actually have an excellent sense of dynamics and range (more than even most musicians do), going from a near whisper to a siren-like crescendo and then fading back to a low hush.
Modern Music like this, at it's heart, is the culmination of thousands of years of humans imitating the songs and music of nature, so it's quite fitting.
Many feel like that when listening to this song. And maybe we are going thru a JOURNEY and this song lightens and enlightens our lives. We are all part of that Journey together . Thru the Music
Watched some friends and family pass away this year.... This song makes me think of them. And how grateful I am to still be here with my kids and family.... Literally just brought a tear to my eye.
Haha, another band I'm glad you enjoy. You should check out ANIMALS, another one of their Legendary Lps. The whole albums Spectacular but the song DOGS is one of my ALL TIME JAMS. Hopefully you'll get around to it. Until then KEEP ON ROCKING. PEACE
Wise decision to get "The Dark Side Of the Moon" - the concept album is one long song, the 7th. biggest selling album of all time, and it was in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. Cheers.
Great reaction, brother. Glad you dug it. David Gilmore on the guitar is something special..He does more with less than anyone. He is one of the best ever. His playing evokes an emotional response from the listener. We all go on a ride with them, you hit it brother, it's magical. Legendary band!
Love how it was so good you stuck around for two tunes! Definitely one of the albums that made me want to be a musician. The next tune "great gig in the sky" is one of the best vocal performances in the history of recording.
Loved your reaction, such a great track. Dark Side of the Moon was really made to be listened to all the way through as one continuous piece, each song is great ofc but it's even better as a whole :)
Music is supposed to go in your ears and hit your heart. Thats why everybody's taste in music is different. It's wild how Pink Floyd can do it to so many totally different kinds of people. True masters of their craft.
Pink Floyd was the first live show I ever went to, my Dad took me. Since that moment, Pink Floyd's lyrics have given me so much pause in my life, made me think and reflect. The amazing power of their music to evoke that cerebral engagement draws me closer and closer each time I listen. Currently revisiting the Animals album, amazing. Peace and love!
This album, "Dark Side of the Moon" was one of the 100 best selling albums of the week, every week, for almost 800 weeks in a row. It was on the chart every week for over fifteen years.
That awesome guitar riff? David Gilmore,one of the most underrated yet incredibly talented guitarists ever! He communicates through his playing. His chords ARE the lyrics. Huge Floyd fan here.....my #1
You have to listen to "The Dark Side of the Moon" album from start to finish. It's almost like a religious experience. The song "us and them" really hits different too.
I love Pink Floyd!! They seem to always take me away from the every day stresses of life. Just close my eyes and feel the music. Wow, what a band!! Your comment of “just feeling like I went on a journey”. That is dead on!! Great reaction!!
One of the best songs on Dark Side of the Moon imho! If you like being taken on a journey, please do a reaction to 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' (without the video!)!
this is one of three bands that ruled music for decades....the best lyrics....the best production.....and arguably the most gifted musicians to ever play.......always remember.......you don't listen to Pink Floyd......you experience them
Thats the thing about Pink Floyd, every note or sound or effect is perfectly crafted, there is no filler, even the moments of silence are brilliantly done. On a different subject, on one of the greatest days of my life, the day my first (and so far only) grandchild was born, I hugged my son and told him how much I loved him and how proud my wife and I were of him. While I was giving him the squeeze, he whispered and said " I finally get it now." so I replied, get what? Then he said " What Roger Waters meant when he wrote the line, And then you find, ten years have got behind you," I just broke into tears, because I knew that it wasn't just a perception I had of my son, but a reality, that mom and I raised a good and decent person.
I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 6 , back in 1969. Since then I have experienced so many different emotional and mental enlightenments I can't even count. Like they say .. you don't just listen to Pink Floyd , you feel/experience them.
Besides "The Wall" and "Dark Side Of The Moon", the Pink Floyd albums you will absolutely be collecting are "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals". Maybe others as well, but those four are incredible!
The beauty of this song is that it has more meaning every year as you get older.
Just dropped a massive truth bomb. My 51 year old self appreciates it so much more than my 25 year old self.
Terrifying when you are over 50...
True ...

I second this recommendation. I spent many a lazy day in my youth with this album and Wish You Were Here.
SO TRUE😊
One of their best. It's a dire warning against wasting one's life. "The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say..." Tragic.
Not quite. It's a pot smoking song. I saw a interview where they stated this.
Taking away the moments that make up a dull day.
"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.. " 😔
Like every song it's whatever the listener wants it to be.
10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. Powerful.

@@abracadabra3033 You also need to listen to Wish You Were Here. Especially "Have a Cigar" if you're interested in the music industry.

David Gilmour is my absolute favorite guitarist. His solos tell a story and are truly emotional
Most people think CN is his best solo, but for me his leads here are his most breathtaking.
@@davidtingley9978 agree better than the studio solo of CN, but the live PULSE performance of CN - his solo is the emotional roller coaster ride of the century, just unbeatable
@@mvellis3863 when you out it like that, Time is perfect as is, CN has more room to make it different each time.
I some times listen to David Gilmour solos.
My absolute favorite guitarist as well for the same reasons you mention.
I’m a reggae head however pink Floyd has played a very important part in my life 👍
Have you heard dub side of the moon? It's a really good album cover in reggae style
Alpha Blondy does a great reggae version of wish you were here
@@elijahsegler7343 second that recommendation!
Dub Side Of The Moon is great, but have you heard Dubber Side Of The Moon? I'm not joking..
Dub Side of the Moon is one of those ideas that works WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better than it has any right to. It is absolutely sublime.
The entire album “Dark Side of the Moon”
Is only 43 minutes long. You will REALLY enjoy listening to it from beginning to end.
If you can listen to it on vinyl, that's the best. A breather between Great Gig and Money is often needed.
@@davidtingley9978 It's almost like the intermission between acts of a stage show or play.
floyd just affects everyone. it’s so universal. it’s kinda insane really.
As a teen I would light a candle, put on my headphones and play the album. They do make one feel deeply. 🖤
Pink Floyd is a journey - a nice long one.
Absolutely
After I seen them at the Oakland Coliseum, 1994 Division Bell tour.
I realised 2 days later I had just sampled the best mind altering substance ever, without taking a puff,line,or pill. Glad I was part of that time.

Many albums are meant to be listened to from beginning to end. The songs follow each other. This album, “Dark Side of the Moon” is one of them.
its sad the era of albums is over......
Every album they put out should be listen to in that way

I like it !!
Modern Music like this, at it's heart, is the culmination of thousands of years of humans imitating the songs and music of nature, so it's quite fitting.
Fam, you nailed it! “They mastered.....sound.”
You have to listen to the entire album with high quality headphones without interruptions. It will take you to another mental realm.
Enjoy Dark Side of the Moon! My favorite album of theirs. Masterpiece!
Dark side of the moon! My favorite album of all time.
I think I'm more into Animals, but it's a close race.
Many feel like that when listening to this song. And maybe we are going thru a JOURNEY and this song lightens and enlightens our lives. We are all part of that Journey together . Thru the Music
Watched some friends and family pass away this year.... This song makes me think of them. And how grateful I am to still be here with my kids and family.... Literally just brought a tear to my eye.
Haha, another band I'm glad you enjoy. You should check out ANIMALS, another one of their Legendary Lps.
The whole albums Spectacular but the song DOGS is one of my ALL TIME JAMS. Hopefully you'll get around to it. Until then KEEP ON ROCKING.
PEACE
Agreed on Dogs...
Wise decision to get "The Dark Side Of the Moon" - the concept album is one long song, the 7th. biggest selling album of all time, and it was in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. Cheers.
the 3th. biggest selling Album. 1. Thriller . 2. Back In Black 3. The Dark Side Of The Moon
@@moyesboy1 I was using a list on Wiki based on certified copies sold and it comes in 7th. at 24.4 million sales. What's your source?
@@psbarrow you are right,changed the last 10 years,sory,sometimes I´m a little bit stone age,Greetings from Germany
@@moyesboy1 No worries, looking at that list it should be number 1 anyway.
Pink Floyd is the best music theory band of all time
That is my favorite Gilmour solo, just reaches right into your soul.
Agreed
Great reaction, brother. Glad you dug it. David Gilmore on the guitar is something special..He does more with less than anyone. He is one of the best ever. His playing evokes an emotional response from the listener. We all go on a ride with them, you hit it brother, it's magical. Legendary band!
J.T. Alford , I’m a 58 year old man that has heard this song a thousand times since it’s release. It still brings tears to my eyes every single time.
Feel like you went on a journey.....that's what Pink Floyd does :-)
Love how it was so good you stuck around for two tunes! Definitely one of the albums that made me want to be a musician. The next tune "great gig in the sky" is one of the best vocal performances in the history of recording.
Loved your reaction, such a great track. Dark Side of the Moon was really made to be listened to all the way through as one continuous piece, each song is great ofc but it's even better as a whole :)
"Pink Floyd has mastered sounds"
Brother, could not agree more.
You should try money if you haven't already. Off the same album
Music is supposed to go in your ears and hit your heart.
Thats why everybody's taste in music is different.
It's wild how Pink Floyd can do it to so many totally different kinds of people.
True masters of their craft.
Pink Floyd was the first live show I ever went to, my Dad took me. Since that moment, Pink Floyd's lyrics have given me so much pause in my life, made me think and reflect. The amazing power of their music to evoke that cerebral engagement draws me closer and closer each time I listen. Currently revisiting the Animals album, amazing. Peace and love!
This album, "Dark Side of the Moon" was one of the 100 best selling albums of the week, every week, for almost 800 weeks in a row. It was on the chart every week for over fifteen years.
You haven’t by pink Floyd try” welcome to the machine” one of the greatest songs ever so many meanings
I love the multiple meanings and definitely will check
That awesome guitar riff? David Gilmore,one of the most underrated yet incredibly talented guitarists ever! He communicates through his playing. His chords ARE the lyrics. Huge Floyd fan here.....my #1
great reaction, that whole album is mind bending! Great gig in the sky is a definite vibe.
That guitar solo makes me sad I just want to cry for what I have become
You have to listen to "The Dark Side of the Moon" album from start to finish. It's almost like a religious experience. The song "us and them" really hits different too.
The whole L.P. is classic. Rock on Abracadabra!
Thank you
One of life's peak moments: get high, lay back and listen to Dark Side with headphones.
I love Pink Floyd!! They seem to always take me away from the every day stresses of life. Just close my eyes and feel the music. Wow, what a band!! Your comment of “just feeling like I went on a journey”. That is dead on!! Great reaction!!
One of the best songs on Dark Side of the Moon imho! If you like being taken on a journey, please do a reaction to 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' (without the video!)!
Please react to Shine on you crazy diamond in its entirety. You will be amazed.
this is one of three bands that ruled music for decades....the best lyrics....the best production.....and arguably the most gifted musicians to ever play.......always remember.......you don't listen to Pink Floyd......you experience them
I been listening to this song for like 40 years and that intro still gives me the chills, never tire of it . Best song ever? I think so.
My man.. This album should be heard in its entirety.. MONEY is another good one from the
Pink
Haven’t even listened yet...but I was waiting for this one. It kills...
Thats the thing about Pink Floyd, every note or sound or effect is perfectly crafted, there is no filler, even the moments of silence are brilliantly done. On a different subject, on one of the greatest days of my life, the day my first (and so far only) grandchild was born, I hugged my son and told him how much I loved him and how proud my wife and I were of him. While I was giving him the squeeze, he whispered and said " I finally get it now." so I replied, get what? Then he said " What Roger Waters meant when he wrote the line, And then you find, ten years have got behind you," I just broke into tears, because I knew that it wasn't just a perception I had of my son, but a reality, that mom and I raised a good and decent person.
I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 6 , back in 1969. Since then I have experienced so many different emotional and mental enlightenments I can't even count. Like they say .. you don't just listen to Pink Floyd , you feel/experience them.
You're gonna love the whole album.
I’m sure , because after I just bought the physical album “ The Wall “ definitely purchasing their catalog
Besides "The Wall" and "Dark Side Of The Moon", the Pink Floyd albums you will absolutely be collecting are "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals".
Maybe others as well, but those four are incredible!
My old man was a huge fan of Pink Floyd and I am too. Their music brings back so many memories.
Actions speak louder than words. When you are listening and shaking your head back and forth says it all.
