I’m a heavy hip hop listener and recently started listening to Pink Floyd. The album that grabbed my attention was Wish You Were Here with cuts like Welcome To The Machine and Have A Cigar.
It's about being addicted to heroine. Come on now... hello is anybody in there. Just nod if you can hear me. Knowing it's about heroine will change your perspective
@@Bambolyy I think this idea stems from the fact that they put out a lot of grand sounding music that makes you feel your place in the universe as small but curious? thats what i get from it i guess...its an experience not just a listen but in my opinion you really got to be in the mood for this to enjoy it.
brandon lloyd they make concept albums. This is a great band but their most influential work is meant to be listened as a whole. In other words, you gotta hear the whole album to appreciate the songs because they will all be connected. I recommend “dark side of the moon” it’s the most accessible because most people will relate. It’s about all things in life. The Music is good but the lyrics are key. So if you like hip hop this is actually easy to understand. After that I’d say watch “the wall” it’s a movie about losing your humanity. It’s a movie album I guess you could say. Good luck. I hope you enjoy.
Dark Side of the moon, it a perfect album, every song is part of the story, you can listen to them individually and love them, but as a whole it's mind blowing. They're so technical that every note, every drum hit is never too much or too little, it's litterally perfect. Take the song time, the lead in keeps you on the edge waiting for whats to come, and the lyrics can literally make you reevaluate your life and whats important. The same for the album the wall. The album Animals takes a look at different groups in society and breaks them down to different animals, pigs being the bourgeoisie, where as Dogs being the proletariat and the sheep follow one or the other. They truly are a thinking man's band. And watching your reactions I already know that if you gave them a chance you'd get it.
PF is in a class by itself. Most of their albums were concept albums, meaning each song blends into the next to tell a larger story. This song is off ‘The Wall’ which tells the story of a boy who lost his dad in WW II, had an overprotective mother, and grew into becoming a rock star who slowly dove deeper into madness, building a metaphorical ‘wall’ around him separating himself from life and reality. Very philosophical stuff. The Dark Side of the Moon is also a concept album, and is also one of the best albums ever created. I believe it holds the record for most weeks on the Billboard charts.
hey man, love that you're dipping your toes into some different shit here and there. My 2cents - I'd recommend sticking to album versions of the real "classics", the live versions are typically best for people who are already mega-fans of the song rather than folks experiencing it for the first time. There are notable exceptions, of course, few things can compare to seeing Pantera - "Domination", or Nightwish - "Ghost Love Score" live, but for the vast majority of songs I'd say you'll have a better experience listening to the studio track. Just my 2cents though. Regardless, lovin this channel bro, keep doin what you're doin and we'll keep showing up to rock out with ya
I agree 99%. On the other hand, I think first time reactions to Queen using their live performances is a pretty good way to go. Freddie was such a performer that the stage work is almost part of the song too, sometimes.
Most studio versions are better than live versions. Pink Floyd might be better live because of the theatrics from the concert and the full guitar solos. Then Nightwish does Phantom Of The Opera better live.
As soon as he mentioned the title of the the video I was like “Awe man, grab a studio album version” Paused the video to see if anyone mentioned it 🤣 .. Might actually enjoy something more like Money, faster tempo, creative sounds and deeper lyrics. Dope to see more diversity!
Just like anyone AROUND THE WORLD who knows RAP knows EMINEM, MJ for POP, its PINK FLOYD for Rock... David Gilmour is the soulful GOD of Guitar. Longevity since the 60's
David Gilmore is one the best guitarists ever. Seeing how you like the guitar play let me suggest Stevie Ray Vaughan. In my opinion the best guitarist to ever pick up a guitar. Try Texas Flood live at the El Macombo. Nothing slow about Stevie. Great reaction. Pink Floyd is what you put on after you get home from work and just want vibe out with drink in your hand.
Floyd was made for acid or mushrooms. Hippie lettuce is ok, but the former is better for it. Or do the lettuce with the former. lol. I'm too old for it now, but back in the day, me and my friends were all over it.
As a heroin addict (clean for 7 years now) this song really hits different and I think makes it easier to understand what “Comfortably Numb” is really about. Just my personal insight tho.
I’ve been watching the channel for a while now, love the content you put out. This one hit different, my dad was a Pink Floyd mega fan. He passed away a few years ago from cancer. We went to a few concerts of a tribute band called Brit Floyd (they’re spot on) in the years before he was diagnosed and once after. This just brought back some good memories, so thank you for that! Now I’m probably gonna rock out to some Floyd for the rest of the day. You never know who you’re going to affect with your videos man, so I appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone.
@@RevvingRIO nope not live. Watched alot of the stuff thats out there for free but i was really looking forward to it. They do an incredible job it honestly sounds just like i was a kid again listening to floyd
It's a pleasure to see you get onto my favourite, arguably, band ever. I hope you'll like it, and that you'll do more of 'em. Keep up the good work, I love and look almost every one of your content. Love, man. Edit: The studio version was more... Likable for me, but live has its purpose! Edit 2: if you want more of their work to go through, I would have to say "listen to time + the geat gig in the sky" The two songs talk about the same thing, from two different perspectives. The second completes the first. While time has more lyrics, and sets the context, "The great gig in the sky" is more visceral and gets you with raw emotions. If you can, listen to them one after the other!
Guitar "solo" MASTERPIECES: (in no particular order) Comfortably Numb: Pink Floyd Hotel California: The Eagles Freebird: Lynard Skynard Opening of Kashmir: Led Zepplin One: Metallica War Pigs: Black Sabbath Rocky Mountain Way: Joe Walsh Check ANY of them out. It is worth the time and effort.
ths song is part of a concept double album, a huge story, there´s stuff in there that is mellow, and there´s stuff in there that makes you crawl up "THE WALL" (the album´s title)
Listening to Pink Floyd is truly one of my life's greatest feelings. It's not there to knock you on your ass, it just makes you smile. It's not about the rock, it's about the mood of the music.
I’m so used to you pausing and talking so much breaking down bars, Stevie, it was a trip to see you so quiet during the video. 😂 Love all your your reactions S!
Bro, I was worried about you until about the 7:00 minute mark when your whole disposition changed. But you were just being real, which is what I dig about you! You ain't plastic like some TH-camrs out there. As always, Fake Friends = Real Enemies! Keep doing yo' thang!
If you're going to continue to listen to Pink Floyd (and I really hope you do) I would recommend doing Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish. It's one of the greatest albums of all time and needs to be listened to as one complete piece. Thanks Stevie, love the content!
'Time' from Dark Side of the Moon will make you think. It's got bars too! Also, album versions from these guys are much more accessible. Saying that, their performances are second to none.
Dude loved you dipping in. I'm an "older" Brit who grew up with Floyd and Zeppelin (good Zepp recommendations in other comments) Floyd have their own sound. If you want to see them "back in the day" Echoes live at Pompeii where the guys play in an empty Roman Amphitheater with no audience! (yes it's a long track with a slow build but a Dreadnought of an ending) BTW they always seemed to "hide" on stage and let the music speak. Someone recommended "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon (you might want to Google sales figures and time in the charts for that Album.) Anyway DSotM is a Concept Album, so like a book the chapters make more sense played in order. I would also strongly recommend having the lyrics to hand. There's always a story in the poetry! Word of warning, if you get hooked it's a hell of a rabbit hole, so buckle up dorethy kansas is about to go bye bye! 😂
David Gilmore on lead guitar is magical. He touches your soul. Makes that bitch talk to you! He us the only reason I listen to this band. Echoes- live in Pompeii, my man. It'll change your life! Do it, bro! This band is special! Also, You gotta start Led Zeppelin soon. Do live Madison Square Garden. You WILL change... You will!! (Yoda)
Pink Flyod are one of my favourite bands grew up listening to them, react to Money, Brick in The Wall, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Darkside of The Moon, Mother jus to name a few all epically good.
When it comes to the many different genres of music I'm definitely a hiphop head through and through. But Pink Floyd is etched into my soul in a way that's utterly indescribable to say the least, this song in particular is my escape from the horrid reality that life sometimes throws our way. It's my much needed calm in a hectic reality. I'll put headphones on, close my eyes and just listen. It puts me in a trance of musical delight and devotion. Pink Floyd is hands down one of the best rock bands to ever grace our presence. Their talent is insurmountable.
That was such a good reaction. We could tell exactly how you were feeling just based on your facial expressions and your body language, didn’t even need to say anything. Also you’re honest.
I'll be real with you Stevie, Pink Floyd ain't really the best choice for the uninitiated in rock music, specially live versions of their songs. I'd recommend starting with: Led Zeppelin (Immigrant Song, Stairway to Heaven or Whole Lotta Love) Black Sabbath (War Pigs, Iron Man or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) AC/DC (Thunderstruck, Back in Black or Shoot to Thrill) The Rolling Stones (Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil or Paint it Black) The Who (Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again or Behind Blue Eyes)
And if you do stairway to heaven you been to know about playing it backwards too and it saying "sweet satan". It's kinda a 2 in. Like everyone said when it comes to rock you gotta stick to the originals
@@midwestmulisha820 You do realize there's something called "opinion" and that's just yours right? I love Pink Floyd, but never in a million years would I say it is better than Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Who (at least with Keith Moon), Rush
pink floyd is one of the columns most music of today stands on. yes, this song is mellow, but you watch that whole concert and you´re on fire for a week :-)
When you talk about Eminem's pen game, you gotta think about Pink Floyd and their guitar game. Their solos are masterclasses. PF have to be one of the best groups in the world. I don't think its too contentious to say they're in that 'Masters of Music' tier even if they aren't your favourite. So, if you go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole, I really am hoping it's one you enjoy as you understand what their music is. As you've seen, they can be lyrically quite sparse and it's very moody. These guys understood music and made it their bitch pretty quickly.
Pink Floyd is very diverse musically and very unique as other reactors have come to realize. Their big radio hit was Another Brick in the Wall (part 2). Very different vibe from this song.
@@imjustbarelygettingstarted7352 This live version is one of the rare ones that has so much more impact than the studio version, even though the studio version is a materpiece, the pulse live version is even better. When I saw it, it blew my mind that it could be better, but that extended solo takes it to another level. I can't believe people suggest the studio version over this one. For nearly every other Pink Floyd track, absolutely, but this is the exception.
@@stephenmcmillan2817 yeah but still you have to at least be vaguely familiar with PF.....he’s never heard comfortably numb before, the studio version is just a lot easier to take jn
Pink Floyd is a very deep band... musically, lyrically, live performances (lights, sound & production), etc... 1965 - 2014!! Lots of goodness in all those years; honestly it's impossible to state what is their best stuff - that IMO is up to the listener. * I would recommend understanding the lyrics and or the entire album concept (yes, whole album's are one concept; well not all of them). The easiest way to resolve not knowing the story or meaning behind the song or album is to look up the title on wikipedia and then if you wish the lyrics while listening (wearing headphones); you'll be glad you did. Pink Floyd is The G.O.A.T.!!! I myself suggest: 1) "Comfortably Numb" 2) "Shine on you crazy Diamond" I-V 3) "Us and Them/Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse" (all 4 parts) 4) "High Hopes" 5) "Time/Breathe Reprise" 6) "Dogs" 7) "Pigs (3 different ones)"- - - Anything from the live "Pulse" DVD (1994) is phenomenal!! Here is a song listing (link) >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_(1995_film)#DVD_track_listing Fact: "You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd but you definitely need Pink Floyd to enjoy your drugs!!"
Welcome to the machine, one slip, on the turning away, sorrow, another brick in the wall, on the turning away, Learning to fly, Hey You, sheep, Money, Time, us and them, high hopes to name but of a small collection of my favourite pink floyd tracks. Been here since 12k subs, love hip hop, but pink floyd is epic. Highly reccomend though that you listen to the Albums in their entirety together, the albums usually convey a story about things relevant to the time that they were released.

The official audio is the best. I mean Pink Floyd is super OG’s. I used to rock on that good classic shit back in high school. Cuz my pop always listened to it. I can dig most the old joints, they lived rock n roll life fr fr!!
Pink Floyd is an experience and is not for everyone all of their songs are very deep lyrically and very musical. If you continue to check them out they will grow on you. The song "Money" is an upbeat song and a great place to start in your introduction to Pink Floyd
That song is DEEP. I guess you'd have to go through some crazy sh!t to really understand..Great reaction though (even though you're almost falling asleep LOL, it made me laugh)
when it's taken as a whole work it tells a story and that is just part of it. Each of their albums Dark side of the moon, The wall, Animals, they all tell a story. and David Gilmour. Keep up the good work, nice to see you are side stepping into other genres.
You should check out this same concert where they perform "Run Like Hell" and "One Of These Days" That shit will wake you up. *Four Floor speakers should be properly installed in each corner of the room first though.*
I was lucky enough to see that tour in ‘94. Easily the best concert experience I’ve ever had. When the disco ball lit up, the entire Alamo Dome in San Antonio lost its collective shit! Definitely check out Stevie Ray Vaughn if you want to see a true master of the guitar.
They were SO ahead of their time.... way back in the 70s they placed dozens of speakers on the roof at a show they did.... they synced them up to make it sound like something was running o the roof... some of the sounds that they played with and made sound amazing blows me away!!
I love NF, but I grew up in the 70's and really miss the live band backing the rappers today! We had some of the best guitarists, drummers & keyboard players back then! Pink Floyd is a prog rock group that were big time!
I don't take drugs anymore, but back in the day listening to Floyd or watching their vids whilst on acid, was unbelievable. Me and my friends did it all the time, whilst camping in the woods in the UK or even at house parties. Great times. Even smoking dope with it is good.
Cool video bro 👍 The reason you were falling asleep is because the song is made to lull the listener into a peaceful serenity before the stellar guitar solo reaches into your soul and bring you to a euphoric conclusion....exactly as Pink Floyd intended. Great reaction video, more Pink Floyd would be very much apreciated (Time from the album Dark Side Of The Moon would be a great more upbeat song to listen to).
Stevie here is some reactions for you on some rock groups such as Queen, AC/DC, Metallica, Guns & Roses. Some reactions as far that could give you goosebumps, green day concert, fans sing Bohemian Rhapsody. Something to look into.
Just watched some of your videos (Super awesome by the way 🙌). Try rewatching these Pink Floyd ones with the lyrics man. You won’t regret it. Their songs are dense and their lyrics 👊
@ Stevie Night You have to watch the movie “the wall” and it will help you interpret what the song is about... but pink Floyd “one of these day”, pigs (three different kinds)”, “have a cigar”, welcome to the machine”, “time”, “money”, “ dirty woman”, “mother” and tons more... I grew up on rap and it is and always will be my favorite however this is the greatest band of all time by far. You will get so lost in thought and admiration of how amazing these guys are. I promise you if you listen to even just the songs I suggested I guarantee you will be a fan for life. But don’t watch the live versions especially since you watching the live show after they broke up and are older! I know you ain’t even gonna read this so you will be missing out
This song has a pretty deep backstory if you look into it. It's about how a lot of bands from that time used to have "doctors" come back and give them heroin back stage at their shows. A lot of times performers would just pass tf out and miss their own shows or have to cancel because of the drug use. The "comfortably numb" is the addiction and the loss of feeling anything when you're high like that. If you've ever had surgery and had morphine, it's a very similar thing, and some of those guys were on drugs like that for years and years of touring. They got to the point that they couldn't function without the drugs. They didn't want to feel anything at all. The song is really mellow and chill, but it's about drug addiction and how it makes you numb to everything around you.
Not true at all. The comfortably numb state they're referring to is a mental state not particularly associated with drug use. In the story, 'Pink' is catatonic because he has built a metaphorical wall around himself to withdraw from the pain of his negative life experiences. Although the doctor gives him a drug to get him going, the story has relatively little to do with drugs, and everything to do with a tortured psychological journey. Even the genesis of the song is only related to an incident where Roger Waters was given a tranquilizer, not a mind altering drug, because he had stomach cramps. Although they were known as psychedelic, it's myth that they were heavy into, and wrote about, drug culture. Virtually nothing of what they did (outside of with Syd Barrett very early on) has meaning associated with drugs or is drug inspired.
This song is a state of mind, seriously like feeling doped and calm without actually having to take anything & usually has many life memories attached to it. The vocals when they are much older are different than the original. The original version is the classic. It was originally recorded in '79 I think. They're in their friggin 70s now in this video.
Just so you know, when he was 'finally moving' the only reason was to get that exact sound and distortion out of his guitar, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered. He never did, even when he was young. For proof, watch Echos Live at Pompeii , Part 1 and 2. It was filmed in 1972 I believe. (Comfortably Numb was released on the album The Wall in 1979). Pink Floyd concerts were ALWAYS about the MUSIC and the LIGHTS / EFFECTS, never the members dancing / prancing around. They were the first to DO light shows, pretty much.
I follow you for a moment... My god, if only I was younger, I would take the plane for the USA... By the way, Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite... And I saw this concert in France... The best one of my life, ever... Pink Floyd, my favorite band... David Gilmour is like a magician with his guitar, the concert is a real big show... Mon meilleur souvenir
Finally an honest review! Huge Floyd fan here but please check out Steve Vai - Tender Surrender or For The Love Of God or Building The Church (live versions), you won't be disappointed. All the best from the far north of Aotearoa (New Zealand).
FINALLY! Stevie has entered the abyss, the experience of Pink Floyd! You don't listen to Floyd, you experience. Go deep, young man!! Follow the rabbit hole...
Pink Floyd albums are great with headphones because you hear things you normally don't hear on the live albums so give it a try dark side of the Moon album
Stevie Knight: "Pink Floyd isn't really on my radar." Avro Arrow: They are now, eh? 😆 I could tell that you were bored but I knew damn well that it wouldn't last. At 6:43 Stevie be like "Aw man, WTF is this shit?" At 6:56 Stevie be like "OH MAN! WTF IS THIS SHIT?!" I was just sitting there, waiting, wondering how long before Stevie's face changed the way that EVERYBODY'S face changes once that solo begins. After thirteen seconds, it was all over and Steve was hooked past the point of no return. It took all of thirteen seconds for Steve to go from "Aw shit...." to "Oh shit...." once the greatest guitar solo in music history began and THAT is what makes it the greatest guitar solo in history. It literally changes you and your worldview, making you realise that before hearing this, you were incomplete and unknowing because if something like this existed for so long and you didn't know about it, what else could you be missing? Ladies and gentlemen, it has now been proven that it takes all of thirteen seconds to go from "I am NOT a fan of Pink Floyd" to "I will ALWAYS be a fan of Pink Floyd" when you've been exposed to this solo. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from or even what language you speak, you WILL melt to the sound of David Gilmour''s Stratocaster when you hear him play this. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
Brooooo finally !!!! Yesss Im so happy ive been requesting Dogs for a long time but finally 🔥🔥🔥 you finna hop on this train you’ll never forget STEVIE !!! Whoooo amd don’t even talk about the views you’ll get 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 suppoppperrrrrrrr hyyyypppeeedddddd
OG version is the best, it is very much drive music and things like that. Song title says it all, get so drugged up that you become comfortably numb. Its a real story of what happened to him, he got sick before a big show because of stress and a doctor gave him some drug that got him on stage and caused his hands to be numb with also not really being able to see.
For me when i had a real bad day at work and im all pissed off on the way home put this on it chills me out by the time i pull in the he drive way im ok in a much better state of mind b4 walkin in the house
Maaan you should check him out doing this even when he's older in 2016 that he blow the roof off of the Pompeii concert... Some calling him GOD aka David gilmour
Live isn't the album version. But if you are wanting to dabble with other music, try Tool, Hooker with a Penis, or something like Dire Straits, Sultan's of Swing.
The way to Floyd is the way that we all made it to them, a joint, and the album version, this version is for people who been rockin wit them for 30 years already.
Pink Floyd made concept albums Stevie.u need to listen to the complete album as a whole to understand their genius! And if you like the music then trust me you wont be disappointed!

Another brick in the wall would of been a better introduction
Immortal Technique " The 3rd World "
When the Levee Breaks by Zeppelin would be a better pick
For me, that's what I like about it, lol.
This is what I love about this channel. Stevie explores all genres in music. From
All over different countries.

@@RevvingRIO nope not live. Watched alot of the stuff thats out there for free but i was really looking forward to it. They do an incredible job it honestly sounds just like i was a kid again listening to floyd
It's a pleasure to see you get onto my favourite, arguably, band ever.
I hope you'll like it, and that you'll do more of 'em.
Keep up the good work, I love and look almost every one of your content.
Love, man.
Edit: The studio version was more... Likable for me, but live has its purpose!
Edit 2: if you want more of their work to go through, I would have to say "listen to time + the geat gig in the sky"
The two songs talk about the same thing, from two different perspectives. The second completes the first.
While time has more lyrics, and sets the context, "The great gig in the sky" is more visceral and gets you with raw emotions. If you can, listen to them one after the other!
Need to do Pink Floyd “TIME”
Trust me you won’t fall asleep for this one.

Still Got THe Blues For You LIVE by Garry Moore. The one with 16 Million views...
SRV: Voodoo Child
ths song is part of a concept double album, a huge story, there´s stuff in there that is mellow, and there´s stuff in there that makes you crawl up "THE WALL" (the album´s title)
Everyone starts smiling when Dave starts doing his thing on the guitar.
Listening to Pink Floyd is truly one of my life's greatest feelings. It's not there to knock you on your ass, it just makes you smile.
It's not about the rock, it's about the mood of the music.
This solo (the live version) is truely one of the greatest ever.
Pink Floyd hits you in a different spot man
no u
Great reaction. You've just witnessed one of the greatest if not the greatest guitar solos of all time.
I’m so used to you pausing and talking so much breaking down bars, Stevie, it was a trip to see you so quiet during the video. 😂 Love all your your reactions S!
Bro, I was worried about you until about the 7:00 minute mark when your whole disposition changed. But you were just being real, which is what I dig about you! You ain't plastic like some TH-camrs out there. As always, Fake Friends = Real Enemies! Keep doing yo' thang!
Freestyle at the Cypher with Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem
1k away from 200k! Let's go Stevie
If you're going to continue to listen to Pink Floyd (and I really hope you do) I would recommend doing Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish. It's one of the greatest albums of all time and needs to be listened to as one complete piece. Thanks Stevie, love the content!
I love Pink Floyd. “Wish You Were Here”
Or Dirty Woman
I love that song
herrzimm *young lust
You gonna put'em to sleep again.😉
GT Lambeth yeah that’s kinda true lol I just love that song. Guitar intro is 🔥
'Time' from Dark Side of the Moon will make you think.
It's got bars too!
Also, album versions from these guys are much more accessible.
Saying that, their performances are second to none.
Dude loved you dipping in.
I'm an "older" Brit who grew up with Floyd and Zeppelin (good Zepp recommendations in other comments)
Floyd have their own sound. If you want to see them "back in the day" Echoes live at Pompeii where the guys play in an empty Roman Amphitheater with no audience! (yes it's a long track with a slow build but a Dreadnought of an ending)
BTW they always seemed to "hide" on stage and let the music speak.
Someone recommended "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon (you might want to Google sales figures and time in the charts for that Album.)
Anyway DSotM is a Concept Album, so like a book the chapters make more sense played in order. I would also strongly recommend having the lyrics to hand. There's always a story in the poetry!
Word of warning, if you get hooked it's a hell of a rabbit hole, so buckle up dorethy kansas is about to go bye bye! 😂
this is music to listen to laid back, in a cold dark room, your mind just flies... it's a mood
That .... is REAL music. Thank God for it
Pink Floyd takes you a journey with their music. It's an experience for sure.
Pink Floyd is all by them Selves. Look up the stats for Dark Side of the Moon Album...
David Gilmore on lead guitar is magical. He touches your soul. Makes that bitch talk to you! He us the only reason I listen to this band. Echoes- live in Pompeii, my man. It'll change your life! Do it, bro! This band is special! Also, You gotta start Led Zeppelin soon. Do live Madison Square Garden. You WILL change... You will!! (Yoda)
It's actually spelled GILMOUR.
Pink Flyod are one of my favourite bands grew up listening to them, react to Money, Brick in The Wall, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Darkside of The Moon, Mother jus to name a few all epically good.
Pink Floyd doesn't need validation . Glad you hear it!
When it comes to the many different genres of music I'm definitely a hiphop head through and through. But Pink Floyd is etched into my soul in a way that's utterly indescribable to say the least, this song in particular is my escape from the horrid reality that life sometimes throws our way. It's my much needed calm in a hectic reality. I'll put headphones on, close my eyes and just listen. It puts me in a trance of musical delight and devotion. Pink Floyd is hands down one of the best rock bands to ever grace our presence. Their talent is insurmountable.
The song Marooned on the Division Bell does the same thing for me
Pink Floyd are massive.
That was such a good reaction. We could tell exactly how you were feeling just based on your facial expressions and your body language, didn’t even need to say anything. Also you’re honest.
I'll be real with you Stevie, Pink Floyd ain't really the best choice for the uninitiated in rock music, specially live versions of their songs. I'd recommend starting with:
Led Zeppelin (Immigrant Song, Stairway to Heaven or Whole Lotta Love)
Black Sabbath (War Pigs, Iron Man or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath)
AC/DC (Thunderstruck, Back in Black or Shoot to Thrill)
The Rolling Stones (Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil or Paint it Black)
The Who (Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again or Behind Blue Eyes)
I agree...if you're gonna start with Pink Floyd, don't do live..and don't do this song if you want to be hyped up lol
And if you do stairway to heaven you been to know about playing it backwards too and it saying "sweet satan". It's kinda a 2 in. Like everyone said when it comes to rock you gotta stick to the originals
Yeah
But this Pink Floyd is better than every other band you named
@@midwestmulisha820 You do realize there's something called "opinion" and that's just yours right? I love Pink Floyd, but never in a million years would I say it is better than Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Who (at least with Keith Moon), Rush
Yes..yess...slowly making our way towards tool reactions..
94Temimi reactors discovering tool is the best thing ever
Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd was in the USA Charts for 741 successive weeks or over 14 years straight. That is how popular they were !
pink floyd is one of the columns most music of today stands on. yes, this song is mellow, but you watch that whole concert and you´re on fire for a week :-)
Stevie Knight 2020. You’re popping off, man.
Love how your reactions go from falling asleep to almost playing air guitar!
When you talk about Eminem's pen game, you gotta think about Pink Floyd and their guitar game. Their solos are masterclasses.
PF have to be one of the best groups in the world. I don't think its too contentious to say they're in that 'Masters of Music' tier even if they aren't your favourite. So, if you go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole, I really am hoping it's one you enjoy as you understand what their music is. As you've seen, they can be lyrically quite sparse and it's very moody. These guys understood music and made it their bitch pretty quickly.
Pink Floyd is very diverse musically and very unique as other reactors have come to realize. Their big radio hit was Another Brick in the Wall (part 2). Very different vibe from this song.
Another more satisfying recommendation from Pink Floyd - “Time” from Dark Side of the Moon
Probably should have done the studio version
Yea studio would have had a better first impression.
@@imjustbarelygettingstarted7352 This live version is one of the rare ones that has so much more impact than the studio version, even though the studio version is a materpiece, the pulse live version is even better. When I saw it, it blew my mind that it could be better, but that extended solo takes it to another level. I can't believe people suggest the studio version over this one. For nearly every other Pink Floyd track, absolutely, but this is the exception.
Wholeheartedly agree, Stephen. One of the rare live versions that blows the studio version out of the water
@@stephenmcmillan2817 yeah but still you have to at least be vaguely familiar with PF.....he’s never heard comfortably numb before, the studio version is just a lot easier to take jn
They are great to listen to when you're tripping 🤣🤣🤣🤣
amen to that
For sure
💯💯💯
You’ll go places then😂
Same
Keep going with Pink Floyd, their music is so varied and the face melting guitar work continues
200k creepin up Stevie. Congrats homie
Pink Floyd is a very deep band... musically, lyrically, live performances (lights, sound & production), etc... 1965 - 2014!! Lots of goodness in all those years; honestly it's impossible to state what is their best stuff - that IMO is up to the listener.
* I would recommend understanding the lyrics and or the entire album concept (yes, whole album's are one concept; well not all of them). The easiest way to resolve not knowing the story or meaning behind the song or album is to look up the title on wikipedia and then if you wish the lyrics while listening (wearing headphones); you'll be glad you did. Pink Floyd is The G.O.A.T.!!!
I myself suggest: 1) "Comfortably Numb" 2) "Shine on you crazy Diamond" I-V 3) "Us and Them/Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse" (all 4 parts) 4) "High Hopes" 5) "Time/Breathe Reprise" 6) "Dogs" 7) "Pigs (3 different ones)"- - - Anything from the live "Pulse" DVD (1994) is phenomenal!! Here is a song listing (link) >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_(1995_film)#DVD_track_listing
Fact: "You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd but you definitely need Pink Floyd to enjoy your drugs!!"
Welcome to the machine, one slip, on the turning away, sorrow, another brick in the wall, on the turning away, Learning to fly, Hey You, sheep, Money, Time, us and them, high hopes to name but of a small collection of my favourite pink floyd tracks.
Been here since 12k subs, love hip hop, but pink floyd is epic.
Highly reccomend though that you listen to the Albums in their entirety together, the albums usually convey a story about things relevant to the time that they were released.
I'm glad you held on for the solo. Glad you enjoyed the end. David Gilmour was still playing his ass off twenty years after this show.

Thats what Pink Floyd does. That music relaxes the shit outta me too.Plus it helps to be high when listening to Pink Floyd
The official audio is the best. I mean Pink Floyd is super OG’s. I used to rock on that good classic shit back in high school. Cuz my pop always listened to it. I can dig most the old joints, they lived rock n roll life fr fr!!
Great to see you doing pink floyd, you have many great songs awaiting to be listened too!
Make sure to listen to
- Shine on you bright diamond
- Time
- Wish you were here
-The Great Gig in the sky (preferably after listening to time)
Pink Floyd is an experience and is not for everyone all of their songs are very deep lyrically and very musical. If you continue to check them out they will grow on you.
The song "Money" is an upbeat song and a great place to start in your introduction to Pink Floyd
Brooo time for some ERB reactions!!
much love from the netherlands
That song is DEEP. I guess you'd have to go through some crazy sh!t to really understand..Great reaction though (even though you're almost falling asleep LOL, it made me laugh)
How am I only just seeing this recommended this on the last pink floyd reaction the wall
when it's taken as a whole work it tells a story and that is just part of it. Each of their albums Dark side of the moon, The wall, Animals, they all tell a story. and David Gilmour. Keep up the good work, nice to see you are side stepping into other genres.
I saw them at the rosebowl in 94. 300+ shows, this was a surprise smash
Nice
I got to see then in Detroit in 94.
You should check out this same concert where they perform "Run Like Hell" and "One Of These Days" That shit will wake you up. *Four Floor speakers should be properly installed in each corner of the room first though.*
Love that you're venturing out into other areas of music, would love to hear your take on AC/DC's 'You Shook Me All Night Long'.
I was lucky enough to see that tour in ‘94. Easily the best concert experience I’ve ever had. When the disco ball lit up, the entire Alamo Dome in San Antonio lost its collective shit!
Definitely check out Stevie Ray Vaughn if you want to see a true master of the guitar.
This song has the greatest solo ever laid on tape and this is the greatest version of it, in my humble opinion of course.
They were SO ahead of their time.... way back in the 70s they placed dozens of speakers on the roof at a show they did.... they synced them up to make it sound like something was running o the roof... some of the sounds that they played with and made sound amazing blows me away!!
I love NF, but I grew up in the 70's and really miss the live band backing the rappers today! We had some of the best guitarists, drummers & keyboard players back then! Pink Floyd is a prog rock group that were big time!
U a positive dude. I love them but could tell u wasn’t feeling it but u always find a way to say something positive. Good shit!
I don't take drugs anymore, but back in the day listening to Floyd or watching their vids whilst on acid, was unbelievable. Me and my friends did it all the time, whilst camping in the woods in the UK or even at house parties. Great times. Even smoking dope with it is good.
Great! watch 'Echoes' Live in Pompeii 1972 you will see Gilmore in his absolute pomp. Amazing!
Stevies stank face is also his 50 cent impression simultaneously
Cool video bro 👍
The reason you were falling asleep is because the song is made to lull the listener into a peaceful serenity before the stellar guitar solo reaches into your soul and bring you to a euphoric conclusion....exactly as Pink Floyd intended.
Great reaction video, more Pink Floyd would be very much apreciated (Time from the album Dark Side Of The Moon would be a great more upbeat song to listen to).
Stevie here is some reactions for you on some rock groups such as Queen, AC/DC, Metallica, Guns & Roses. Some reactions as far that could give you goosebumps, green day concert, fans sing Bohemian Rhapsody. Something to look into.
Just watched some of your videos (Super awesome by the way 🙌). Try rewatching these Pink Floyd ones with the lyrics man. You won’t regret it. Their songs are dense and their lyrics 👊
@ Stevie Night You have to watch the movie “the wall” and it will help you interpret what the song is about... but pink Floyd “one of these day”, pigs (three different kinds)”, “have a cigar”, welcome to the machine”, “time”, “money”, “ dirty woman”, “mother” and tons more... I grew up on rap and it is and always will be my favorite however this is the greatest band of all time by far. You will get so lost in thought and admiration of how amazing these guys are. I promise you if you listen to even just the songs I suggested I guarantee you will be a fan for life. But don’t watch the live versions especially since you watching the live show after they broke up and are older! I know you ain’t even gonna read this so you will be missing out
This song has a pretty deep backstory if you look into it. It's about how a lot of bands from that time used to have "doctors" come back and give them heroin back stage at their shows. A lot of times performers would just pass tf out and miss their own shows or have to cancel because of the drug use. The "comfortably numb" is the addiction and the loss of feeling anything when you're high like that. If you've ever had surgery and had morphine, it's a very similar thing, and some of those guys were on drugs like that for years and years of touring. They got to the point that they couldn't function without the drugs. They didn't want to feel anything at all.
The song is really mellow and chill, but it's about drug addiction and how it makes you numb to everything around you.
Not true at all. The comfortably numb state they're referring to is a mental state not particularly associated with drug use. In the story, 'Pink' is catatonic because he has built a metaphorical wall around himself to withdraw from the pain of his negative life experiences. Although the doctor gives him a drug to get him going, the story has relatively little to do with drugs, and everything to do with a tortured psychological journey. Even the genesis of the song is only related to an incident where Roger Waters was given a tranquilizer, not a mind altering drug, because he had stomach cramps. Although they were known as psychedelic, it's myth that they were heavy into, and wrote about, drug culture. Virtually nothing of what they did (outside of with Syd Barrett very early on) has meaning associated with drugs or is drug inspired.
@@hihoktf yeah haha the cool thing would be that it’s a heroin song but yeah it’s not about drugs like that
This song is a state of mind, seriously like feeling doped and calm without actually having to take anything & usually has many life memories attached to it. The vocals when they are much older are different than the original. The original version is the classic. It was originally recorded in '79 I think. They're in their friggin 70s now in this video.
The child is grown the dream is gone... this song makes me sad but I love it!
Just so you know, when he was 'finally moving' the only reason was to get that exact sound and distortion out of his guitar, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered. He never did, even when he was young. For proof, watch Echos Live at Pompeii , Part 1 and 2. It was filmed in 1972 I believe. (Comfortably Numb was released on the album The Wall in 1979). Pink Floyd concerts were ALWAYS about the MUSIC and the LIGHTS / EFFECTS, never the members dancing / prancing around. They were the first to DO light shows, pretty much.
I follow you for a moment... My god, if only I was younger, I would take the plane for the USA... By the way, Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite... And I saw this concert in France... The best one of my life, ever... Pink Floyd, my favorite band... David Gilmour is like a magician with his guitar, the concert is a real big show... Mon meilleur souvenir
Finally an honest review! Huge Floyd fan here but please check out Steve Vai - Tender Surrender or For The Love Of God or Building The Church (live versions), you won't be disappointed. All the best from the far north of Aotearoa (New Zealand).
I wish you would have chosen the album version over this one. It hits harder to me, and I'm a Pink Floyd fan from way back in the day.
Appreciate you checking this out! Hope your day is good Stevie! Much love 💕
One of my favorite songs. I enjoy this version because of the full guitar solo and the overall feel of the song. Good pick and I enjoyed the video
FINALLY! Stevie has entered the abyss, the experience of Pink Floyd! You don't listen to Floyd, you experience. Go deep, young man!! Follow the rabbit hole...
Pink Floyd albums are great with headphones because you hear things you normally don't hear on the live albums so give it a try dark side of the Moon album
Stevie Knight: "Pink Floyd isn't really on my radar."
Avro Arrow: They are now, eh? 😆
I could tell that you were bored but I knew damn well that it wouldn't last.
At 6:43 Stevie be like "Aw man, WTF is this shit?"
At 6:56 Stevie be like "OH MAN! WTF IS THIS SHIT?!"
I was just sitting there, waiting, wondering how long before Stevie's face changed the way that EVERYBODY'S face changes once that solo begins. After thirteen seconds, it was all over and Steve was hooked past the point of no return. It took all of thirteen seconds for Steve to go from "Aw shit...." to "Oh shit...." once the greatest guitar solo in music history began and THAT is what makes it the greatest guitar solo in history. It literally changes you and your worldview, making you realise that before hearing this, you were incomplete and unknowing because if something like this existed for so long and you didn't know about it, what else could you be missing?
Ladies and gentlemen, it has now been proven that it takes all of thirteen seconds to go from "I am NOT a fan of Pink Floyd" to "I will ALWAYS be a fan of Pink Floyd" when you've been exposed to this solo. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from or even what language you speak, you WILL melt to the sound of David Gilmour''s Stratocaster when you hear him play this.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
Brooooo finally !!!! Yesss Im so happy ive been requesting Dogs for a long time but finally 🔥🔥🔥 you finna hop on this train you’ll never forget STEVIE !!! Whoooo amd don’t even talk about the views you’ll get 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 suppoppperrrrrrrr hyyyypppeeedddddd
Uhhh this is gold right here
saludos de México,hermano
OG version is the best, it is very much drive music and things like that. Song title says it all, get so drugged up that you become comfortably numb. Its a real story of what happened to him, he got sick before a big show because of stress and a doctor gave him some drug that got him on stage and caused his hands to be numb with also not really being able to see.
For me when i had a real bad day at work and im all pissed off on the way home put this on it chills me out by the time i pull in the he drive way im ok in a much better state of mind b4 walkin in the house
Maaan you should check him out doing this even when he's older in 2016 that he blow the roof off of the Pompeii concert... Some calling him GOD aka David gilmour
Live isn't the album version. But if you are wanting to dabble with other music, try Tool, Hooker with a Penis, or something like Dire Straits, Sultan's of Swing.
Lol about to fall asleep then the guitar solo comes and his mood straight changes such a great guitar solo easily one of the best ever
The way to Floyd is the way that we all made it to them, a joint, and the album version, this version is for people who been rockin wit them for 30 years already.
Pink Floyd made concept albums Stevie.u need to listen to the complete album as a whole to understand their genius! And if you like the music then trust me you wont be disappointed!
