I'm 52 and a lifelong Floyd fanatic. Animals is my favourite album. This is the best reaction video I've seen and I've watched a few. Love seeing you enjoy something I first heard 40 years ago. You reminded me of myself hearing it for the first time. There never has and never will be a band to touch Floyd. Thanks for the vid. Keep up the great work.
nice to see young people learning about music like they've never heard b4.. animals is top 5 albums I'd have on a desert island.. you should listen to moving pictures by rush.. classic
@@execatty I would probably go for Grace Under Pressure, myself. But yes, Animals , Rush, Broadsword and the Beast by Jethro Tull, 90125 by Yes and Infected by The The would probably be my 5.
I am 52 as well. Remember, when my sister brought this album home, I looked at the pictures and was intrigued by the images. It was sitting in the pile with my Disney’s Peter and the Wolf and other childhood albums, the moment I drop the needle on the record, felt like childhood’s end, didn’t comprehend what I was listening to all I knew is that it was fucking magnificent ,to this day and it still and always will be my favorite piece of music and now my sister passed it means more to me than ever before their music has always had a huge emotional affect on me, but with the memory of my sister lingering in every note, I have to listen to it alone, because I cannot contain my tears..
Sir I remember putting the needle on the Album. An hearing the first notes...
This album is relevant it never goes outta fashion.. it pertains to now..
Seeing music thru someone else's eyes is just beautiful. Seeing the words an music click...
✌🏼💗😊
I'm 40 been listening to pink Floyd all my life too, animals happens to my fav also, bloody good
Definitely some of David’s filthiest guitar work on this album. Such a sense of urgency and rawness. Just incredible. Plays the bass too, and quite impressively, on tracks 3 and 4.
00:38 Animal Farm video summary
14:21 Pigs on the Wing 1
15:48 Dogs
34:14 Pigs
46:00 Sheep
56:03 Pigs on the Wing 2
Some of Roger's grittiest and greatest writing on this album
The lyrics and filthy guitar work on "Dogs" is insanity. The way the vocals move in and out while the drums pop in and out is just as amazing. Dogs is my favorite song on the Animals album. Everything about it is perfect.
"Dogs" is my favorite song, too! Living to hear Pink Floyd, glad to be alive so I could experience them.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
I've always considered it Floyd's version of punk rock.
tHe PUrEist puNk rekord ever recorDed !!!!😮
One of my favourite albums of all time, one I have listened to many times. I was 9 on release and listened to it as a young teen years later. It is a masterpiece
Same. 9 years old upon release. Listened to it in my teens. Genius album.
Dude. It is a delight to see you jam out to this masterpiece. My all time favorite Pink Floyd album. Intentially meant to be impossible to put on the radio, Dave Gilmour and Richard Wright absolutely murder on this album (and Roger Waters and Nick Mason are also fucking fantastic too). The lyrics are dark and real as fuck, and YOU KNOW ITS ALL TRUE. you know pigs, sheep,. dogs and the whole thing. It hits like a sledgehammer right into the head. also, loving to see you getting into GIlmour's guitar work. He is able to say with a single note what other guitarists might try to say in a hundred, and they usually still fail. Gilmour is one of the all time greatest guitarist, and this album is his finest work, in my honest opinion.
I'm 73 and have been a PF fan since Saucer Full of Secrets back in the 60's. Animals has been in a flip flopping race between Animals and DSOTM as my favorite. Somehow Animals wins out most times as my all time favorite PF album. I love that you do the WHOLE ALBUM as it was intended and all PF music was meant to be listened to. THERE ARE NO PF SONGS!! There is only PF EXPERIENCE. Each album is like a piece of art meant to be enjoyed as a whole. Keep up your reviews of such groups that did CONCEPT ALBUMS. PF, Moody Blues and many other bands in that era totally disregarded AM radio demands and never sold out to the 3:00 to 4:00 minute demands of commercial radio and stayed true to their art. Though tunes like Money became AM hits it didn't matter and that's why you are so impressed as with many other reactors today 60 years later that not only did their music matter back then it matters NOW!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole and as always. Entire Album, head phones and fire one up, turn out the lights lay back and enjoy!!
Pink Floyd Meddle is a great underappreciated album.
MEDDLE IS A TREASURE 🎉❤
That's Seamus he's the dog.
So glad to see this reacted to as required - front to back - bravo!!! What an epic commentary on life in '70s Britain - lyrically, this is Roger at his most bitter, yet best. Pink Floyd don't simply plug into amps - they plug directly into your mind and soul.
England in the mid-70s. Grim, gritty and so great ❤
Well said 👏👏🙌🙌
Great quote!
Great comment!
He didn't merely react to the album, which would be admirable enough. This dude went into Animal Farm! Above and beyond and he really seems to get the music too. Incredible!
" you radiate cold shafts of broken glass " what a line
It's awesome to see another generation blown away by this incredible music
Shards*
Though I don't mean to highlight the typo.. I'd normally ignore it knowing what you meant.
@@DJWESG1 ooh, I don’t know. I’ve heard this song hundreds of times. I’m pretty sure it’s “shafts.”
Edit: no I’m not pretty sure. I’m absolutely sure. It’s “shafts.”
It's shards. Shafts of broken glass makes zero sense buddy.
@@TriptoCo thanks genius, I stood corrected a year ago
@@gardenrevelation9603 no you were right its shafts just looked it up
best band of all times 😎👍
As I watch you listen to the story of Animal Farm, my feelings of despair increase. The idea that folks of your generation are entirely unfamiliar with a book that was required reading when I was in public school is disturbing. But even more disturbing is your apparent lack of recognition that the story of Animal Farm echoes the recent history of humanity, some of which is presently replaying itself. Don't be a sheep. Don't be a victim of propaganda, Don't be a victim of ignorance. Take notice of history, and don't let others rewrite it.
David Gilmour also played all the Bass on this album. Roger is credited with Vocals and acoustic guitar. Waters as he did for many of their albums came up with the album concept that ties the songs together. Richard Wright's great synth lead playing is epic on this record
Pigs: Roger plays that crunchy guitar rhythm, Dave plays that sweet fretless bass! (The best bass on any Floyd album)!
"It's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around" is my absolute favorite lyrics line ever.
Depends on how you throw your weight. If you do it with the intention to spread Peace and Love then it is never too late and you are never too old. That is one of the reasons that this music here is still current now. Peace.
@@garyiow8482 Agreed!

I don't know how anybody can listen to this album and not break out in goosebumps! David Gilmore is a unique guitar sound that can't be replicated. Such a great band
With a couple of albums under your belt, I think most would agree that you now qualify to be a Floydian. I have been one for 50 years and I wholeheartedly welcome you to the world of Floyd. Continue on my fellow Floydian and prepare for more enlightening journeys. You will forever be changed and better for it. Thank you for a great reaction!! The door is now open.
You are absolutely right @robertwatson,he has become one of us! I have but one suggestion,listen to all their albums with headphones on and listen to each album from beginning to end and listen to them more than several times in a row,every time you listen you’ll hear sounds you hadn’t heard before. This is a band that was like no other band,before or after their splits up.
I'm now going to start referring to the process of new people getting into Pink Floyd as a "Floydian Slip".
I'm a Freddy mercurian 😀
As a 57 year old Floyd fan I can say without a doubt that your reactions are 100% authentic as you squirm and squeal at all the right moments !
As another 57 year old Floyd fan i agree
@@richbowie76 as a 17 year old pink Floyd fan I too hereby agree
Im still a sperm but I can confirm that this reaction made me find the egg
59 and a twelth, yep me too. The man knows. 🙏
53 year old from Glasgow Scotland, stiil own my original vinyl ✌️
Props for being a true Floyd fan, first time or not. You listen, and think, and experience it. Awesome!
He`s hooked for life,
Don't worry too much about associating the songs with "Animal Farm". The album is only VERY loosely based on it, only as far as picking certain animal species as metaphors. One crucial difference is that Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a satire of the Russian Revolution and communism, while Pink Floyd's "Animals" is a bitter vision of its polar opposite, capitalism, and more specifically about the recording industry, about which Roger Waters was particularly resentful and embittered at the time. The pigs are those who hold the strings of everything, billionaires and politicians. Dogs are executives who serve them and think they're great, until they discover that they've just been used by the pigs, and they herd the mass of sheep (just about everyone else).
A sad irony is what happened to that building on the record cover, the Battersea Power Station, a coal-fired electric power plant in the Eastern part of London. At the time the album was made, the plant had been decommissioned and was derelict, and the surrounding neighborhood was totally blighted. Now it's been renovated into a flashy, expensive shopping mall with designer brands for the dogs, to which the sheep also flock happily when they can, and the neighborhood has been gentrified and is now a trendy place. The pigs won.
That was really cool to add that part with “Animal Farm”. Roger said that the album is based loosely on this book. Thank you 👍
I thought that adding the intro was awful and an insult to the album.
@@PaulSchuster-yj4zb shut up Napoleon
When Pink Floyd toured this album, (and even afterward) they used to fly a HUGE pig around the stadium! The younger generations have missed so many great bands from the boomer generation. I am sooo happy to see ya'll enjoying the music that I grew up on!
I caught the show in Cleveland. Good times!
Imagine those of us who are a little older and got to see this done live by Pink Floyd in 1977!! I saw this at the madhouse on McDowell which is where the Phoenix Suns used to play. They played all of "Animals" took a short break and all of "Wish You Were Here" and then they came out and played half of "Dark Side of the Moon" for the encore!! One of four Pink Floyd concerts I've seen in my life and this one was probably the best with Roger Waters, Gilmore, Richard Wright and Nick Mason and Snowy White a second guitarist, all with the group and they were in their Prime!! Pink Floyd is probably the only group when my wife and I drove home we couldn't speak because we were speechless after those Floyd concerts. Probably Zeppelin and AC/DC too but that Floyd concert was beyond description! I saw at least a dozen people being carried out of that concert physically because they just could not take the intensity of the atmosphere and the music and everything going on!! I'll never forget!!
Great memories!
I was at the 2nd show during that tour at Phillys Spectrum when Roger became ill and couldn't come back for the encores.
"Snowy" White took over playing the bass.
What happened backstage that night was the foundation of the song, "Comfortably Numb" that would be on their next album, "The Wall."
This is the tour I saw them on. The show was great too. With the balloon animals and the pig that flew around the concert hall. And if I'm not mistaken, it was the same pig that's on the album cover.
Philadelphia Spectrum 1977
❤
I so miss the "Laser Floyd" shows at the planetariums!
Ha! That took me waaaaay back. Lol
Yea I remember that I went to one.
Pigs is easily one of my top 20 all time favorite songs.
I love that you particularly appreciated the disses.
“You radiate cold shafts of broken glass!” Is my favorite.
One of my favorite songs of all time too. Hits every damn time!
Starting with Animal Farm... mate.. Person of culture. Absolutely great reaction. This album is utterly savage, and has stuck with me to this day.
I first heard this when it came out in '77 and I was 15yrs old. Glad to see that young people like you many generations later are getting the same kick as I did from music excellence!
My father is the same age as you and I’ve been hooked on pink Floyd ever since he introduced them to me when I was younger
Animals is not a musical version of the novel Animals by George Orwell.
It only takes the characters like pigs, dogs and sheep from it. See Wikipedia for everything on Pink Floyd’s Animals album.
Animals is a very underrated PF album. I think it’s one of their best.
That was a blast. I love this album. It has aged well. Great to see your positive reaction to an underrated gem. Including the Animal Farm summary at the beginning was a perfect touch.
The transitions within their music are amazing. Everything is seemless. This is art!
The best album that is ever made.
@@torbjrnlund903 certainly in my top 10, best pf album for sure
...of the highest order!
Sorry for being late to the show.
"Wave upon wave of demented avengers marching cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream"
Damn what a line.
One of the best, ever!!!
Great album ! Back in 77 we listened to this with in my car with speakers in the back and front. The sound would travel around to each speaker way cooler than headphones. You can get the same effect with surround sound 5 speakers and a subwoofer.
Some of this album is so paralyzing that I often forget to breathe.
Pink Floyd doesn't really write Songs. They Write Full Albums.
Watching Lil J Listen to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time is like reliving the day I heard it for the first time, the day it came out. I am totally exhausted. It literally took my breath away - again. I had forgotten how much this album had affected my life! Thank you so much for reminding me how much Pink Floyd has meant to me my whole life, this album came out over 50 years ago and I remember it like was yesterday, which is pretty hard to do considering it was in the 70s! 😂
Animal Farm is a great book and it’s actually a pretty quick read. Orwell also wrote “1984”. Before he became an author, Orwell worked in MI5 (England’s version of the C.I.A.)
Known as "B." In his works..
I genuinely cackled out loud to "is that a synth?" Yes sir, with this band, there was almost always a synth in some form. Love this reaction brother.
Spot on reaction. "Obscured by clouds" a criminally underlooked classic album should (imo) be pencilled in for your enjoyment. You wont be disappointed. Keep em coming tho. Its a buzz seeing others get the buzz. Cheers
masterpiece , another one whole way through, this for me was pink floyds most commercial listening album, i mean for the layman who doesnt know anything about pf I mean, easy listening album, obviously the other one is momentary lapse of reason, but for me wish you were here album is number one, darkside of the moon 2nd, 3rd is about 4 pink floyd albums equally as good. this album is underrated though too. With roger waters brain and davids paying ability and voice unstoppable force
Man you can't say animals is the most easygoing with a song like Dogs in it, i tried to listen to it but i just can't, i get bored so fast
@@sebas288 ha then u must hate pf , since its 1 of their best songs
16:00 a cough from taking too big a hit is one of the only acceptable sounds to make when listening to a Pink Floyd song… 😂
Say goodbye to hip hop !!! welcome Pink Floyd !!
“Dark Side of the Moon”, is in it’s own category. “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “The Wall”, in that order. Of course that’s only one 64 year old man’s opinion. In the 70s and 80s I’ve seen all those albums in concert.
Man i can't even describe how lucky you are.. I'm just 18 and i've gone to nick mason's a saucerful of secret concert last year in İstanbul and it was mind-blowing, it was and it would definitely the best thing i've ever seen in my life. I MEAN I SAW ECHOES LIVE MAAANNNN!! If even just mason's alone concert was like that, i can't even imagine how was the concert that you've seen.. i've born in the wrong decade..
People argue about which is their most classic and impactful album. Dark Side, Wish You were Here, The Wall. For me it’s always been Animals. I actually think the bookend songs (Pigs on the Wing), detract from the impact of those three main songs. Those three songs are as good as it gets. And yes, keep listening my man. I’ve listened to these songs most of my life. Not only do they not get old, it always sounds fresh and new. I am always amazed and taken aback to here something I’d never heard before, or some nugget of wisdom that I didn’t quite get when I was younger. Every note, every word, is just complete perfection 😊
I saw the "Animals" tour at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1977. We were on 3rd base. When the giant pig exploded we could feel the heat and concussion. Amazing show!
Their best album in my opinion. I'm 57 and my oldest brother (RIP Jeff) used to play this all the time in his room down the hall. Got introduced to a lot of great bands via older brothers. This album is amongst many and one of my favorites by far. Did I hear the dog? Have been for decades now. Great reaction....thank you.
Same age as you, bro. I feel the same way. Best album. Dogs is the best song. The solo is extraordinary. Nothing like it.
Love. Respect. Totally Appreciate your personal Love of this music artistry. Peace man. I am now 61 years old. I grew up with this music. Bought the album when it was released and only the Universe knows how many times I have listened to it. Never gets old in my opinion. Very deep and philosophical and produced by True Artists.
Dogs🔥🔥🔥
This album came out when I was fifteen and my parents couldn’t understand but I was hooked. Great album and yea got to see them once and it was an amazing concert. 🤘🏻blaze on brother
Ha crazy me to born in 62 i was a Freshmen in High school and still listen I saw them at Giant stadium 7/17/1994 great show.
So sad you have not read the book first, she is not a long. One day enough to read full. Orwell was a guy not from this earth.
My favorite album by them. 🔥🙌🏼💥 David on guitars (including most of the bass I believe) on this one. Richard on keys/synths, Nick on drums and Roger’s lyrics. Sticky icky is as much as I ever needed!
Yes...the amazing bass, especially on Pigs, is all David , along with lead guitar and voice box (Roger played rhythm guitar) .
@@williamosborne6866 Gilmour playing bass on SHEEP ...the best 🔝🔝🔝
Only you could deliver this as excellent as it is with your personal character & insight. I am 67. I was in the US Submarine service when this came out. My life & mind's eye are filled with visions & memories linked to every second of every song from Echoes to the Wall. Unmatched by any other group of musicians. Your appreciation is enjoyable. Now get out there & take the music with you & see what happens.
dogs might be one of the best songs of all time
At 76 I still listen to PF almost every day.
"Whitehouse" refers to Mary Whitehouse, a British ultra conservative back in the day.
A good woman .
My favorite Pink Floyd album. You should go checkout Britt Floyd an incredible cover band that does all Pink Floyd music.
Hell yeah, been waitin for this. I think Dark Side is their best album as a whole, but Dogs by itself is tough to beat.
What I found even cooler was an African American man. Who i havemuch appreciated and idolized. I was just a white boy.I feel a little lucky because i've been enjoying this music since I was seven in my art teacher turned beyond to it. What I found even cooler was an African American man. Lie very much appreciated and idolized sadly i'm just a white boy
Old guy is oñ point!! Agreed, Moody Blues, Emerson Lake &Palmer ,check out all.Also...I like your intro 💙 to English Lit 101.Rock on,Young Blood is!!!(check out Jimi to)😊
As "another sad old man" One of the things that makes me smile is watching people from different musical cultures discover early Pink Floyd .
As you can tell, Pink Floyd is a very special Rock Band, no one quite like them!
The Stone refered in "Dogs" is representative of Life, being dragged down by the miseries of living one's life.
Pink Floyd uses the word Stone, (for Life), in other songs of theirs too.
Great to see your reaction to this. Over time Animals has become my favourite Floyd album, Gilmour's guitar playing is totally insane. Those solos in Dogs give me goosebumps every time 😃
Forgive me for not saying anything useful, but I just had to comment again for the algorithm because I loved this reaction so much. Not everyone gets how awesome this album is for me. This was perfect. I really appreciate your great reaction. Thank you sir!
When you open your mind you realize how narrow the world is when you limit yourself to pop and hip hop, don’t read books. Yeah I was there as a kid. I was out if that mode by 16. Can’t imagine life without floyd
Just another sad old man all alone and dying of cancer. The cancer of his life or the cancer of all the bad Deeds he's done, the cancer of all of his guilt, when you have a good drown all alone and dragged down by the stone. You can just picture somebody being dragged down to the bottom of the lake tied to a concrete stone and drowning all alone, drowning from all of bad things he's done and all the guilt and leading a bad life are all stones that will drag us down in the end and grind us all down in the end. Pink Floyd was a master of having colorful metaphors that have more than one meaning and so did The Moody Blues and several other bands as well. I seen 6 Floyds concerts in my time and the Animals tour was the first concert I saw with flying pigs around the stadium I was fifteen or Sixteen at the time and it was my second concert after Neil Diamond who was my first concert that I've ever seen. Pink Floyd is in my top three bands of all time and I have all their albums and even some bootleg recordings can I still have the concert tickets that I used. The wall tour and The Division Bell tour were pretty good as well. $400 per ticket was a little expensive that well-worth the entertainment. I have all their autographs from that tour. I grew up smoking pot doing mushrooms and LSD two Pink Floyd The Moody Blues + 2 yes put black light posters strobe lights and all sorts of things to enhance our trip. Those were the good old days
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream...
Just to add further context to the album, the concept of Animals is a flip on the Orwell novel. While the original is a criticism of a totalitarian communist government, Roger uses this concept to criticize modern day capitalism by dividing society into Dogs, Pigs, and Sheep. Dogs being the business men and law enforcement that keep the population (sheep) in control at the behest of the Pigs. The Pigs represent those in power who run run society and use it to only enrich themselves and rule over others, specially three different pigs as listed in the song, those being that of what I speculate to be: A business ceo or a boss of some sort, Margret Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse. The final song Sheep details the moment in which Sheep realize that “things are not what they seem” and then proceed to start and uprising in which they end up killing the dogs. Sadly after this moment we are then shown that out of this moment of liberation the Pigs control resumes as Sheep are told “You better go home and do as you’re told, get out of the road if you wanna grow old” showing that even in the end Pigs still hold the power. Finally Pigs on the Wing was originally a love song from Roger to his then wife, though for me in the context of the album it represents the humanity we need to push through the struggle and oppression whilst watching for the Pigs on a wing. One of my favorite albums of all time. Such a cold and poignant takedown of the system yet full of life and color in its presentation and delivery
Props for starting with animal farm
Pink Floyd is the best by a campfire, by a raging river, in front of the stars on acid
Rick Wright doesn't get nearly enough credit for his contribution on this album
Come together and learn and study as much as you can. They want us at odds and ignorant. We have power in numbers. Don’t divide
Excellent you watched the Animal Farm explanation first. It's a very important book, and although everyone talks about 1984, this book should be required reading for students. Great album and this was awesome. Your reaction was really fantastic to a favorite album of mine
A side note, the term 'sheeple' is still used and comes out of what sheep represent here and in Animal Farm. A person following the crowd mindlessly. Being naive. I love the transitions Pink Floyd accomplishes, on Sheep there's great ones. Pigs on the wing is like the expression when pigs fly. Used to mean something unlikely happening. It gives the whole thing a message of hope, like change can happen. The impossible is possible.
Kudos to you for reviewing Orwell's Animal Farm before listening to this album. You should read the book, it is a short read.
I remember buying the album the minute it hit the stores as all Floyd fans probably did. A new PF album was a happening! I did not like this album at all, first time listening to it. I knew the Animal Farm story (it used to be required reading in high school).
However, as the years pass, I find that this is one of my favorite Floyd albums and one that I return to regularly.
Funny enough, I saw Pink Floyd one time in concert in the 80's. I stood in the rain for hours to get tickets and just made it. They played 3 nights in ATL and I got some of the last tix for the 3rd night.
Terrible seats and worse acoustics in the old ATL OMNI which has since been torn down. Still, I loved it as I never thought I would ever get to see them live. They floated a giant pig across the venue as they did a song or two from this album.
Good on you Lil J. So glad you discovered this mastery of music
Well done ! The animal farm intro was the warm up to the bang on the head nice. Aye memories. Yes Pink Floyd can send you to other places.
Have a look at 1970s Britain also, more anger than punk
Subbed when I saw the blunt getting torched. Awesome reaction Lil J
Pink Floyd road-tested most of this material for two years before we heard it on vinyl. That’s why it’s musically flawless! Even though we hardly understood any of the meaning when it first came out. I remember a Brit classmate explaining Animals’ many lyrics phrases (and UK politics references) that had us baffled; then it all made sense.
Very true they played two tracks live at Knebworth in 1975 even before wish you were here was released in September 1975. one was called RAVING AND DROOLING which eventually became SHEEP and YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZY which became DOGS if i remember correctly.
You’ve been officially Gilmour’d
Although not a P.F. album but to me Roger Water's " Amused to Death" is a lyrical masterpiece. Written after seeing the Gulf War live on TV. Roger was the song writer for must of the Floyd and Dave was the musical genius.
One of my favorites from Roger.... his concert "In The Flesh" is one of if not the best I have ever seen.
Gilmours best guitar work IMHO... Wish you could turn up the volume a bit.... got mine cranked but I could listen a bit louder.... 😁😁
Ain't nothin' wrong with a little Sticky-Icky, my friend! Salutations!
I was at the Animals tour in 1977 in Philly. Great time great music. Dogs represent the Corporate Owners…Pigs are the handlers of the workers…Sheep are the little people. It’s a very timely metaphor for the class struggle.
my fav Floyd album. Gilmour puking out guitar chords via talk box with dogs howling , you know its well past midnight , u feel the cold through ur bones as Gilmour slowly amps up his guitar into a crescendo i can still feel the tension in my stomach cramping ,,,, i am alone , always alone when its Dogs playing...
Got something you need to try. It will blow your mind!!! Get the movie Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd album Dark side of the moon. Start the movie after the 3rd roar of the MGM lion start the Pink Floyd album and let them both play turn sound off on the movie and the whole album goes along with the movie. It blew my mind when I did it
Dude I felt the exact same way, we all did
And still do!
Genius + Genius + Genius + Genius = Pink Floyd!
When you realize "Animals" is rooted in blues.
Amazingly, Floyd were not into drugs (after Syd Barrett). Of course they smoked weed, but they were not the "drug band" a lot of people assume.
The music will drag you in and the lyrics will gut you. It doesn't hurt that they had one of the best guitarists ever.
YEAHHHH J, IT WAS A GREAT GREAT SHOW IN 77 TOO, FOR THE ( ANIMALS ) TOUR :) I WAS JUST 17 AND GETTING READY TO ENTER THE MILITARY LIFE AND WOUND UP SERVING FOR 35 YEARS ( 77-2012 ) :) HIGHERRRRR THAN A KITE, PARTYING HARD AT CONCERTS BEFORE I ENTERED THE AIR FORCE J :) GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN, LOVED HOW YOU COULD TALK SOFTLY WITHOUT BREAKING! LOVED THAT FOR SURE.YOU'RE LOVING YOU SOME OF GREAT REALLLLL ROCK HUH? CLASSICCCCC ROCK!
Sheep is such a good headphones tune.
Love your reactions to Floyd , I’m a longtime Floydian . This is my favorite album ❤
Love this album. Dogs, i love the finality to it at the end. Sheep is my favourite. However, if you ever get to hear a bootleg from the in the flesh tour, especially from Montreal (yes, the performance that The Wall originated from) . Pigs ( three different ones) is the stand out, that being said, the sheep came along and had enough listening to the pigs. The start of sheep is brilliant. The keyboard lulls you into a false sense of security mixed with a forboding watch out bass line. The more you listen, the more you realise that pigs on the wing parts 1 & 2 are critical to this album.
Sheep is my favorite too although the whole album is brilliant. Love Gilmour's bouncy bass in Sheep.☺️
"Sheep" goes HARD, man! Hard, hard album!
When this came out, we had no mtv or vh1. We would toke, kick back in a recliner, and make our own videos in our minds.
Feeds my Soul xx
You need to listen to the original mix too
Bringing back Memories. This is a Masterpiece 🫵 Good choice.....
21:45 one of David's finest solos ever. Nick Mason is such a unique drummer due to be9ng self taught and not really looking for inspiration outside Pink Floyd. He really is one of Rocks top drummers. His drums are as melodic as any other instrument. It isn't just to set the pace. Did you notice the singer change after the psychedelic break in dogs
I was thinking while listening to this that the “Comfortably Numb “ solos get all of the attention, but his guitar playing on this album is amazing 😊
I remember the first time I noticed it was Roger singing in the second half of Dogs. I'd heard the song/album a few times by then, but it was the first time I'd smoked a big ol' bowl and really dug into the album with headphones. Flipped me out a bit. Haha
And have to agree with your assessment of Nick Mason. Very musical and melodic drummer while being 100% tasteful and serving the song every time.
@@radioethiopiate9327 Yeah me too. I think when it hits us it becomes impossible to not notice who is singing. Early on though I think we spend so much time focusing on the music and instruments we aren't focused on the other aspects. Sometimes I like to pick a single instrument and follow it throughout the song and hyper focus on it. You start to appreciate how incredibly talented each member is
@@dougefresh7435 Some of David's best work is on his solo albums. Murder and near the end, the latter being as good a solo as he has ever done, both songs have epic solos
@@BeeBumper The weird thing is that I'd been listening to Floyd for a while at at that point and knew each member's voice pretty well. I'd just never noticed that switch before. Must've just been lost in the groove and hadn't picked it earlier. But when I did I almost second guessed myself that David was singing the first half (which he obviously is). Roger's singing it like David, but then the telltale Rogerisms become apparent. It was almost like a movie betrayal moment where a character you thought you knew and trusted turns out to be the killer or something. It really messed with my head for a few seconds. But that probably has something to do with how baked I was too.
Lol, the way you took that deep shaky breath around 32:57 when Dogs ended is exactly the same reaction I have same time, every time. It's like the moment you get released from it and it hits you how heavy that trip just was. It's so nuts.
This gives me Concert Flashbacks. Visually Stunning, can't be explained the Farm balloons, what a Trip😂🎉 Have you heard the news, the Dogs are Dead!😅❤ Thanks J
