Great album, sometimes overlooked. Gilmour is using a "talk box" on Pigs. Running his voice through the guitar. Sheep gives me chills everytime I hear it. The Wall is the next album chronologically, but you might want to go backwards and listen to Meddle. Was recorded before Dark Side of the Moon. But whatever, your enthusiasm for these relics is fantastic.
At the beginning of Sheep, the jazzy piano played by Richard Wright is a Fender Rhodes electric piano. Instead of strings, the hammers hit thin, round metal tines, which give it more of a bell-like quality. The large "suitcase" model of Rhodes piano includes a tremolo feature, which gives it that vibrating sound...almost like a Vibraphone.
That long outro to Sheep is just AMAZING I'd forgotten how thrilling it is. Makes you want to leap around the room. And the birds and sheep the end.... always back to that poignant place, that the Floyd knows so well.
Pink Floyd is deeper than the Mariana trench, higher than any satellites orbiting our planet, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen, hotter than a solar flare of lava spouted from the sun, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror more Zen than 10,000 Buddhist monasteries, larger than what we know as our universe. Their music is an enigma that is beyond what we are capable of comprehending.
There have obviously been a lot of great albums through the years but this one is something special. The mastery of instruments and the lyrics are just otherworldly
He is using a set-up called s Talk Box to make those sounds. A talk box (also spelled talkbox and talk-box) is an effects unit that allows musicians to modify the sound of a musical instrument by shaping the frequency content of the sound and to apply speech sounds (in the same way as singing) onto the sounds of the instrument. Typically, a talk box directs sound from the instrument into the musician's mouth by means of a plastic tube adjacent to a vocal microphone. The musician controls the modification of the instrument's sound by changing the shape of the mouth, "vocalizing" the instrument's output into a microphone.
I've been FB friends with Rick's former wife Franka..Wright 10 years from Greece, I've learned alot from her. We chat almost weekly about everything. Shes a beautiful soul. 🎶🎵🎶🌚🎹🤘🥰
I sat back and read many comments. So muck love for Pink Floyd and this album in particular! Rolling Stone Magazine gave this AMAZING MASTERPIECE a very bad review and feel that’s why it didn’t do as well as it should have. WAY UNDERRATED In my opinion. It may be my favorite Floyd album but I love so many!
It's part of the "magical arc" from Dark Side to The Wall... All are "top level". I have my fav one as Dark Side, but they are all way above anything else. Animals is a GREAT album, yes underrated.
First time I heard animals was on cassette that my older brother had and he played it in his Pioneer Super tuner cassette player in his red 1975 Road Runner car with a white stripe on the side like the starsky and hutch car...slick....that was in 1977 ..Thanks bro 👍
Just in case no one mentions it, this borrows heavily from Orwell's Animal Farm - which is a metaphor for the Communist and then Stalinist take-over of the Soviet Union
Cool reaction to a brilliant album, Sheep perfectly sums up most of the world's population the last few years apart from rising up. The whole album could have been written yesterday and be so relevant.
I agree that Animals is just as relevant today (if not more so) than it was upon release. The perfect accompanying album to Animals for me personally is Roger Waters' magnum opus Amused To Death. Roger Waters' solo masterpiece is easily my favourite album of all time, and i absolutely love Pink Floyd and Animals is my personal favourite Album of theirs. Amused To Death isn't for everyone, it's a very opinion splitting album, even among some Pink Floyd fans. Typically, fans who prefer David Gilmour's guitar masterworks over Roger's deep lyrical assassinations may not enjoy it as much, though those looking for a profound deeper sense of meaning in the World and you're place in it, may just find what they're looking for. Amused To Death could have been made yesterday and i wouldn't change a thing about it to make it more relevant to today's World. An astonishing piece of work. Shine on 😃
@@jamesaitchison9478 I love Amused to Death also. Seen Roger Waters in Manchester about 7 years ago, brilliant concert. Unfortunately most of the world suffer from Stockholm Syndrome and Roger's lyrics would go right over their wooly heads. Glad there are people like yourself who are not brainwashed and can see where the world is really heading. Peace
I am really liking your reaction videos. You pulled me in with Pink Floyd. I have a recommendation for an album. "Crime of the Century" by Supertramp. This album is considered a masterpiece. It came out in 1974 and is progressive rock. Please put it into your rotation if possible. Andy and Alex posted a video titled "Supertramp is Criminally Underrated!" If you want to hear what they think about this band watch their video if you like. They were a top rated band in the1970s. Unfortunately, Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983 and they didn't recover from that.
Quels merveilleux moments tu nous fais vivre! Te regarder apprécier et analyser tous les petits détails de chaque morceau est un régal. Un sourire envahit mon visage pour ne plus le quitter de toute la vidéo. Un grand merci. 🤩💚
I've been enjoying your recent Pink Floyd journey, and I assume you'll be moving on to The Wall next (4 parts for that, one for each side of the double album? I think it'd be a great idea). Animals has always slipped by me, but it really is as good as DSotM or WYWH or even The Wall. The sound you thought was a harmonica is actually called a talkbox; the guitarist/musician, David Gilmour in this case, shapes his mouth around a tube, and that gives the sound its "shape." I appreciate that you really listen to the music, point out the important musical elements, and even just appreciate the things you like! I really hope you circle back to at least the albums Meddle and Atom Heart Mother (even others); you can really hear how the band is building into the four monster masterpiece albums. Thank you for the effort you put into these reactions!
'Animals as good as even The Wall'? The Wall was the first of some really poor albums - the point where PF 'jumped the shark'. At the time the Wall was written by Waters and recorded there was considerable friction within the band, between him and the others. Waters soon quit and after that PF only made mediocre albums. Sadly, AFAIC the magic disappeared after Animals'.
@@m06een00 I respect your opinion - and in many ways you’re correct that PF were never the same after Animals. I still feel that The Wall, even though it’s more a Roger Waters album is quite good and shouldn’t be dismissed as a poor album. I mean - any album that gave us Comfortably Numb can’t be that bad, eh?
@@candrv Yes, Comfortably Numb is a decent song, but the rest of the album is horrible, overblown stuff. It's no surprise that the band were soon to split with the way Waters was behaving and thinking. The huge success and wealth had clearly gone to his head, unlike the other PF members. Yet he was always the 'ideas' guy and main lyricist from the time Syd Barrett departed. So without him the band's originality and uniqueness soon deserted them.
Enjoy the summer! Saw Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd a lot during HS and college. Its fun to watch you enjoy these classics. I wish more young people such as yourself could venture into the incredible world which is 70 s prog rock and appreciate it as much as you do. tG
That voice guitar sound is a talk box. The instrument sound is fed to the players mouth using a small tube. The player puts their mouth close to the microphone and shapes their mouth like they are talking, but they don't actually vocalize anything.
9:00 Dave utilise une pédale Talk Box branchée sur la gratte et un tube plastique reliant la pédale à la bouche de l'utilisateur. Cela module le son par compression décompression de l'air dans le tuyau. Ce truc a été célèbre dans les années 70 grâce à Peter Frampton et ses titres Show Me The Way et Do You Feel Like We Do.
I love the sound of the French language... I can read it fine, I just can't pronounce it, or understand half the words... I can speak and understand music though; so I guess my life hasn't been a total waste. peace and love.
Frampton got this trick from Joe Walsh in 1972. That’s the year Joe took it on tour. Frampton comes alive came out in 1976. Joe got the talk box from Alvino Rey, Alvino designed it in 1940’s.
I love your enthusiasm and the joy on your face as you listen to the album. I have been a Pink Floyd fan for many, many years and I enjoy seeing people discover the magic that is Pink Floyd. As others have said, you are doing this correctly by listening to the whole album. I also have to second Erik Weber's recommendation that you listen to the album Meddle. The song Echoes is a classic and the video version Live at Pompeii is excellent.
Visually "Sheep" was Stunning. They had giant balloons as the entire farm, Algie was the pig, In UK. He actually escaped Battersea Power Station..Trippy ...🤣 its great watching you have so much fun, just like we did! 🥰🤘 Love from New Jersey.
You don't know how much fun I had whatching you enjoying and discovering every note and sound. I disagree with others that dislike the post Waters Pink Floyd's era. I found not one bad PF song ever. Best wishes for you, keep discovering good music (you've reached top of the world with PF, baby!)
You have some back ground noise on your 2 Animals reaction videos. I really enjoy your reactions by the way. I really enjoy how much you get into the music and how much you actually hear each instrument and play along with your own air guitar and drums. Most excellent Rock on!
Ok, Talk Box has been covered, cool. Lots of cool things, Dogs and voices turn into keyboard/ Synth. Gilmour plays, in some cases, 5 different guitars overlaid at the same time. HERES ONE MANY WONT KNOW! The STONE echo from side one, comes back on side two, EXACTLY in the same spot from side one. It’s like STONE melts thru the vinyl to the other side!
We run out of words to describe how great Pink Floyd albums are. Been loving them for over 50 years - they are in a universe of their own, especially the 'big 4' albums; "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall", as well as the later release of "The Division Bell" - Any / all of those (and even "Meddle" or "Ummagumma" are worth entire album reactions. Welcome to the machine / wonderful world of Floyd!
On Sheeps, Wright is playing on a Fender Rhodes electric piano with a tremolo effect that makes the vibration, it affects the volume like a pump, vibrato would affect the pitch. The bass line of Waters is coming slowly in a very nice progression (basis of what people call Prog-rock), then everyone have fun it seems. The musical symbiosis of Pink Floyd were always very powerful, with excellent musical ideas and structures that gives everybody thrills. It's just sometimes the voice of Waters that I don't like always, but lyrically he is very good. But all the musical effects are really soothing and takes you for the trip
thank you for taking us along on this journey of yours discovering pink floyd's music. it's been so enjoyable so far. i think you're ready to hear their epic album "the wall" now.
I have to say that I appreciate you doing more than a single track. That’s the correct way to pay homage to some of the most timeless music ever composed. The joy in your face…. Just great. Keep on with your groove, it’s sweet, charming and gives me hope to find younger people who still recognize what’s so amazing about the classics. These guys educated me as a teen in a very valuable way.
Sweetie...Thank you so much for reacting to the Animals album as it was meant to be heard. We can tell you appreciate it as much as we do. In Pigs, the sound you thought might be a harmonica is actually David Gilmour playing his guitar through an effect called a "talk box". The sound of the guitar is fed through a tube to his mouth where he modifies the sound by moving his mouth. The sound is then picked up by a microphone by his mouth and recorded. In effect, he was trying to make his guitar emulate a pig. I'm so glad you're enjoying this.
Another classic rock àlbum. So nice to see younger people enjoying such good music. Love your reactions and smiles. So you like the cowbell. Should play Hair Of The Dog/Nazareth, a lot of cowbell
Thank you! 💝🎸🎹🎶🎶🎸 Next album is a big one! The Wall was a double album which have the same class as these albums You have reacted to. The Wall is a long adventurous journey just as the previous ones.
"Yes" is another great band from that time, if you like Pink Floyd you will probably like it. "Fragile" is the most famous album by them, my favorites are "Relayer" and "Tales from Topographic Oceans".
Yes is a very good recommendation, but I would suggest Close to the Edge as the place to start. I love Relayer too, but CTTE is more representative of the Yes sound in general. Going For The One is also worth a listen, if only for the song Awaken.
Now when you truly got "Floyded" i urge you to listen to "Echoes" from Album Meddle. Then the live version from Pompeji. Unbelievable. It will take you to strange and unexplored places..... Love your reaction. Go on.
You've just done one of the greatest 3 album runs in rock history, IMAO :-) I'd call those Pink Floyd's pinnacle and whoever suggested that series to you deserves major kudos. (But, certainly, the album "The Wall" also has many impressive parts) Anyway, if you really want to lose your mind over some Bass Guitar, you could do a lot worse than the song "Roundabout" by the band Yes. They too have several albums that are reaction worthy, the earliest ones being "The Yes Album" and "Fragile" (which has "Roundabout"). Incredibly, those two great albums both came out in 1971
Just an FYI...the bass (and lead guitar) on Pigs and Sheep was courtesy of David Gilmour (not Roger Waters - he only played bass on Dogs - rhythm guitar on the others).
I now know what I looked like when I first heard this album. Thank you for the video's your reaction to them is brilliant, keep them coming. Try Jethro Tull
I really like your reactions to the album, that smile on you 😁 It reminds me when I bought the vinyl in the 70 and I even get goosebumps when I hear every now and then. I am 60 years and I keep the vinyl as a trophy, consider it one of the all time greatest
Very good job on both pt1 & pt2 amazing reactions. I was 24 or 25 when Animals was released you just repeated what I felt but much better then I could at that time.
You can usually tell the sound you thought is from harmonica by the typical "Wha-wha" sounds that the mouth makes when opening and closing around the "Talk Box"
Watching you listen and delight in Floyd's music reminds me of myself when I was your age in the 70's and felt the same as you do now, thanks that was great 👍
That sound thru Pigs you weren't sure whether it was an instrument or voice. It's both, they use a tool called a talk box. There's a good few songs it's used in, my fav is 'Keep Talking' from their album 'The Division Bell.' I know you'll get round to that album, but it would be nice to see you react to them playing it live at their Pulse concert. From the same concert you watched Comfortably Numb.
You remind me of me decades ago when I discovered Pink Floyd. I got caught up in the melodies, incredible arrangements and traue artisanship...And then I understood their" messages" and the music took on a whole new dimension. I can't wait for you to experience that....Your eyes will open and your mind will expand and you will be a better human being for it.
Now that you know that you can't go wrong with Pink Floyd please react to Echoes [from their Meddle album] one of their greatest masterpieces. I recommend that you react to the studio version first to hear the full scope of the musicianship.
I believe that intriguing sound is BOTH voice and Instrument. Play instrument into hose in your mouth and make it special. Peter Frampton "Do you feel Like We Do" is an excellent example if you check out a Live show video/official video.
Fantastic that you have discovered Pink Floyd. Can you imagine seeing this live? I witnessed them perform this whole album at Madison Sqaure Garden in New York City July 1977. They also did the entire Wish You Were Her album as well. May you keep on enjoying the journey you are on.
Absolutely got to listen to meddle as for me it's when pink Floyd as a band clicked....it's just a gorgeous album, meddle being the daddy of the album....keep up the emotional real reactions verdy it's refreshing...
The only thing better than listening to Animals is watching you react to Animals! Can not wait for you to do Division bell and momentary laps of reason where you will literally have your mind blown by sorrow :)
Hey, Miss Verdy. Good job. Great react. FYI - this tour is where things began going wrong for the band in live performance. In one gig, I think it was in Canada, Toronto possibly, a drunk heckler pissed Roger off and Roger actually spat on him. Glad you enjoyed the album. Look forward to The Wall! Regards to 🇨🇦 🤘😎🤘
Also on this tour, Roger caught an infection and was in such pain that he had to go on stage after being injected with pain meds; the origin of some of the lyrics in Comfortably Numb
If you haven't done it yet, listen to Pink Floyd's the Wall. Listen to the words. The entire album is a story of the disintegration of a rock star. It's relevancy hits home way beyond that.. You might enjoy it.
Also: Give Genesis Selling England by the pound (my favorite album), Trick of the tail, and Wind & Wuthering out. Also Yes Close to the edge (favorite) you will like. There is also a band called Camel that is incredible you should check out (there Flight of the Snow goose and Moon madness albums are awesome). TG
Before you take "The Wall" Check out the history of Syd Barrett founding band member who dropped out suffering mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse. Syd was the subject of "Wish You Were Here" and you will hear echoes of Syd reflected in "Pink"
I was 15 when I first heard this song, I'm now 60,wore it out, had the album, played on a turn table, music that has the magic is timeless, no it's a guitar with a talk box, try frampton comes alive, do you feel like we do, or rocky mountain way , joe walsh
please continue your journey with pink floyd. I am looking forward to your infectious reactions. Most of us old farts went through what you are experiencing back in the 70's so its a pure joy to see a member of the current generation absorbing true talent. In my view, Pink floyd are one of the 5 greatest bands to exist. Enjoy the ride. Having said that, you mentioned on a previous reaction that the idea of a concept album appealed to you. From a sound engineering viewpoint Alan Parsons, who engineered dark side of the moon put out his own albums. Floyd is better because of the gifted musicians in the band but the alan parsons project may be worth a listen to see how a great sound engineer pulls it all together. Tales of mystery and imagination is DARK !!! but fun. Looking forward to your reaction to the wall, the next down the rabbit hole! Keep up the good work.
Love your reactions to pink Floyd, if you want to get the best experience of floyd my i suggest watching and reacting to pulse live concert. Keep up the great reactions.
First heard this in 1978 and have loved it ever since. Music like this remains relevant year after year. It has to be amazing hearing this for the first time.Hoping you check out The Wall and Meddle. Both excellent.
If You didn't listen "The Wall" album yet, be prepare to most though story album of Pink Floyd. It's a whole new experience not only in Pink Floyd's journey but also in the history of rock music. Strongly unique as theatrical spectacle, a truly legendary musical. There are people on this world for whom life was changed after they listen it.
This became my favorite Pink Floyd album. After hearing their music for decades this is the one that lasted the best for me and the guitar sounds still send chills up my skin.
On Pigs, that strange sound was Gilmour using a voice box. The guitar runs through the voice box which is basically a distortion pedal. A large hose comes out of the voice box up to a microphone. The sound of the distorted guitar travels up the tube which the guitar player has in his mouth right next to the microphone which provides amplification. By changing the shape of your mouth you can actually make the guitar sound like it is talking. It takes great skill to coordinate the notes with shaping your mouth. Listen to Frampton Comes Alive album and the song “Do You Feel Like We Do”. Frampton was masterful at using the voice box with his guitar. CC
You came out of nowhere to become one of my favorite music reactors. I don't know how they do it, but it seems like Pink Floyd has access to their own notes, chords, and rhythms that no one else uses. Crazy, I know.
Can’t believe your listening to this particular Floyd album. Probably my favorite. In fact I go to sleep listening to this album at least once a week. ✌️❤️

Yup another vote for Meddle here!
She should at least listen to Echoes (preferably remastered full length pompeii version from 1972!) if not the whole album!
@@Summon256 The Wall
Oh .. did you mention "Relics" ? :)
I agree.. Meddle should be your next Pink Floyd album
Now, you've done it! You've become a Pink Floyd fan! There's no turning back now! You won't rest until you explore their whole catalog. I envy you.

Your enthusiasm for PF, makes us oldies who’ve grown up on this music real happy 😊
Pink Floyd the ultimate band of our time and yes one album after another of great song after another
Pink Floyd is deeper than the Mariana trench, higher than any satellites orbiting our planet, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen, hotter than a solar flare of lava spouted from the sun, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror more Zen than 10,000 Buddhist monasteries, larger than what we know as our universe.

Peter Frampton made the talk box famous in the 70s. Another great artist you should check out! Back then we called it a "Frampton unit"

Great reactions. The 1960s and 1970s are all about the best guitar in Rock history.
You have some back ground noise on your 2 Animals reaction videos. I really enjoy your reactions by the way. I really enjoy how much you get into the music and how much you actually hear each instrument and play along with your own air guitar and drums. Most excellent Rock on!
this album is phenomenal.. every note is where it should be
so glad you did the second side!!!
this live tour was beyond beyond belief
It's a musical interpretation or Orwell's Animal Farm.
You have become my TH-cam sweetheart! I love your reactions to PF.
Ok, Talk Box has been covered, cool. Lots of cool things, Dogs and voices turn into keyboard/ Synth. Gilmour plays, in some cases, 5 different guitars overlaid at the same time. HERES ONE MANY WONT KNOW! The STONE echo from side one, comes back on side two, EXACTLY in the same spot from side one. It’s like STONE melts thru the vinyl to the other side!
We run out of words to describe how great Pink Floyd albums are. Been loving them for over 50 years - they are in a universe of their own, especially the 'big 4' albums; "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall", as well as the later release of "The Division Bell" - Any / all of those (and even "Meddle" or "Ummagumma" are worth entire album reactions. Welcome to the machine / wonderful world of Floyd!
Interesting information, on the track "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", David Gilmour plays bass.
That's why it sounds different from other tracks.
Sheep is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs. Brilliant how they flow the voice into the electric sound. Love those early albums!
Now it's time for MEDDLE, and Echoes!
On Sheeps, Wright is playing on a Fender Rhodes electric piano with a tremolo effect that makes the vibration, it affects the volume like a pump, vibrato would affect the pitch. The bass line of Waters is coming slowly in a very nice progression (basis of what people call Prog-rock), then everyone have fun it seems. The musical symbiosis of Pink Floyd were always very powerful, with excellent musical ideas and structures that gives everybody thrills. It's just sometimes the voice of Waters that I don't like always, but lyrically he is very good. But all the musical effects are really soothing and takes you for the trip
thank you for taking us along on this journey of yours discovering pink floyd's music. it's been so enjoyable so far. i think you're ready to hear their epic album "the wall" now.
Thank you for another great reaction. you should react to Echoes live at Pompei, from the early 70th.
I have to say that I appreciate you doing more than a single track.
That’s the correct way to pay homage to some of the most timeless music ever composed.
The joy in your face…. Just great.
Keep on with your groove, it’s sweet, charming and gives me hope to find younger people who still recognize what’s so amazing about the classics. These guys educated me as a teen in a very valuable way.
You're an Animal my dear.. Keep it up I love it! (:
Pink Floyd is known for their unique sounds. No other band can really match them.
Sweetie...Thank you so much for reacting to the Animals album as it was meant to be heard. We can tell you appreciate it as much as we do.
In Pigs, the sound you thought might be a harmonica is actually David Gilmour playing his guitar through an effect called a "talk box". The sound of the guitar is fed through a tube to his mouth where he modifies the sound by moving his mouth. The sound is then picked up by a microphone by his mouth and recorded. In effect, he was trying to make his guitar emulate a pig. I'm so glad you're enjoying this.
Another classic rock àlbum. So nice to see younger people enjoying such good music. Love your reactions and smiles. So you like the cowbell. Should play Hair Of The Dog/Nazareth, a lot of cowbell
I think she would enjoy the whole Hair Of The Dog album.
Greetings from Oregon. Just warms my heart seeing you enjoy my favorite album by my favorite band. All our best PNL.
Thank you! 💝🎸🎹🎶🎶🎸 Next album is a big one! The Wall was a double album which have the same class as these albums You have reacted to. The Wall is a long adventurous journey just as the previous ones.
"Yes" is another great band from that time, if you like Pink Floyd you will probably like it. "Fragile" is the most famous album by them, my favorites are "Relayer" and "Tales from Topographic Oceans".
Yes is a very good recommendation, but I would suggest Close to the Edge as the place to start. I love Relayer too, but CTTE is more representative of the Yes sound in general. Going For The One is also worth a listen, if only for the song Awaken.
Now when you truly got "Floyded" i urge you to listen
to "Echoes" from Album Meddle. Then the live version from Pompeji. Unbelievable.
It will take you to strange and unexplored places.....
Love your reaction. Go on.
I agree. Live at Pompei Echoes is very good
You've just done one of the greatest 3 album runs in rock history, IMAO :-)
I'd call those Pink Floyd's pinnacle and whoever suggested that series to you deserves major kudos.
(But, certainly, the album "The Wall" also has many impressive parts)
Anyway, if you really want to lose your mind over some Bass Guitar, you could do a lot worse than the song "Roundabout" by the band Yes.
They too have several albums that are reaction worthy, the earliest ones being "The Yes Album" and "Fragile" (which has "Roundabout"). Incredibly, those two great albums both came out in 1971
This video just came out tonight, how come your comment is2 days old? Ate you a time traveler?
Just an FYI...the bass (and lead guitar) on Pigs and Sheep was courtesy of David Gilmour (not Roger Waters - he only played bass on Dogs - rhythm guitar on the others).

I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been ......
Another epic album is 'Rumours' from Fleetwood Mac. Cheers!
Glad you are enjoying Floyd; so many good albums yet to go.
Some of Roger's bass lines are incredible on this album.
I now know what I looked like when I first heard this album. Thank you for the video's your reaction to them is brilliant, keep them coming. Try Jethro Tull
I really like your reactions to the album, that smile on you 😁 It reminds me when I bought the vinyl in the 70 and I even get goosebumps when I hear every now and then. I am 60 years and I keep the vinyl as a trophy, consider it one of the all time greatest
spot on Verdy.The song's keep getting better as you listen...
I would HIGHLY recommend , ECHOES PT 1 at POMPEII by Pink Floyd . Love your reactions !
welcome to the family 🏴✌🫂🌍🎼
Very good job on both pt1 & pt2 amazing reactions. I was 24 or 25 when Animals was released you just repeated what I felt but much better then I could at that time.
You can usually tell the sound you thought is from harmonica by the typical "Wha-wha" sounds that the mouth makes when opening and closing around the "Talk Box"
Watching you listen and delight in Floyd's music reminds me of myself when I was your age in the 70's and felt the same as you do now, thanks that was great 👍
Awesome reaction, my favorite Pink Floyd album. Pigs three different ones was what made me a Pink Floyd fan. Everything they did was great!
That sound thru Pigs you weren't sure whether it was an instrument or voice. It's both, they use a tool called a talk box. There's a good few songs it's used in, my fav is 'Keep Talking' from their album 'The Division Bell.' I know you'll get round to that album, but it would be nice to see you react to them playing it live at their Pulse concert. From the same concert you watched Comfortably Numb.
You remind me of me decades ago when I discovered Pink Floyd. I got caught up in the melodies, incredible arrangements and traue artisanship...And then I understood their" messages" and the music took on a whole new dimension. I can't wait for you to experience that....Your eyes will open and your mind will expand and you will be a better human being for it.
I’m so glad you’ve had the opportunity to listen to the music I love and have listened to all my life! So glad you enjoy it too 🎸🥁🎹🎤🎺🎷🎼
Now that you know that you can't go wrong with Pink Floyd please react to Echoes [from their Meddle album] one of their greatest masterpieces. I recommend that you react to the studio version first to hear the full scope of the musicianship.
Great songs and analysis
The sound u don't know is a guitar through a voice box ,the same as he uses in pulse on "keep talking" 😁👍
The lead guitarist of Pink Floyd David Gilmour is not a Musician but a Magician lol!
I guarantee you will listen to this album every week and still get pleasure from it, the instrumentation is impeccable…
Faudrait des posters de Pink Floyd avec ceux de BTS maintenant !!! 😊😉
I believe that intriguing sound is BOTH voice and Instrument. Play instrument into hose in your mouth and make it special. Peter Frampton "Do you feel Like We Do" is an excellent example if you check out a Live show video/official video.
Listen to the "Meddle" album. It was released in 1971, before Dark Side of the Moon. The song "Echoes" is 23 minutes long.
She did DSOTM, I'm sure she'll do MEDDLE I can't wait!!!😅🤘💙
Fantastic that you have discovered Pink Floyd. Can you imagine seeing this live? I witnessed them perform this whole album at Madison Sqaure Garden in New York City July 1977. They also did the entire Wish You Were Her album as well. May you keep on enjoying the journey you are on.
It's great seeing you discover the awesomeness of Pink Floyd. You're such a lovely woman.
Absolutely got to listen to meddle as for me it's when pink Floyd as a band clicked....it's just a gorgeous album, meddle being the daddy of the album....keep up the emotional real reactions verdy it's refreshing...
The only thing better than listening to Animals is watching you react to Animals! Can not wait for you to do Division bell and momentary laps of reason where you will literally have your mind blown by sorrow :)
Hey, Miss Verdy.
Good job. Great react. FYI - this tour is where things began going wrong for the band in live performance. In one gig, I think it was in Canada, Toronto possibly, a drunk heckler pissed Roger off and Roger actually spat on him.
Glad you enjoyed the album. Look forward to The Wall! Regards to 🇨🇦
🤘😎🤘
Also on this tour, Roger caught an infection and was in such pain that he had to go on stage after being injected with pain meds; the origin of some of the lyrics in Comfortably Numb
@@stevem.1853 Yeah, that's right. I heard about that.
It was in Montréal
@@matf9325 I stand corrected. Thanx. 👍
I love your Pink Floyd smile. I got it when I first heard Pink Floyd and still get it today. I'm 63.
If you haven't done it yet, listen to Pink Floyd's the Wall. Listen to the words. The entire album is a story of the disintegration of a rock star. It's relevancy hits home way beyond that.. You might enjoy it.
Also: Give Genesis Selling England by the pound (my favorite album), Trick of the tail, and Wind & Wuthering out. Also Yes Close to the edge (favorite) you will like. There is also a band called Camel that is incredible you should check out (there Flight of the Snow goose and Moon madness albums are awesome). TG
Before you take "The Wall"
Check out the history of Syd Barrett founding band member who dropped out suffering mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse.
Syd was the subject of "Wish You Were Here" and you will hear echoes of Syd reflected in "Pink"
I was 15 when I first heard this song, I'm now 60,wore it out, had the album, played on a turn table, music that has the magic is timeless, no it's a guitar with a talk box, try frampton comes alive, do you feel like we do, or rocky mountain way , joe walsh
The "tuc tuc tuc..." sound on Pigs is the cowbell
please continue your journey with pink floyd. I am looking forward to your infectious reactions. Most of us old farts went through what you are experiencing back in the 70's so its a pure joy to see a member of the current generation absorbing true talent. In my view, Pink floyd are one of the 5 greatest bands to exist. Enjoy the ride.
Having said that, you mentioned on a previous reaction that the idea of a concept album appealed to you. From a sound engineering viewpoint Alan Parsons, who engineered dark side of the moon put out his own albums. Floyd is better because of the gifted musicians in the band but the alan parsons project may be worth a listen to see how a great sound engineer pulls it all together. Tales of mystery and imagination is DARK !!! but fun. Looking forward to your reaction to the wall, the next down the rabbit hole! Keep up the good work.
"I feel like Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole, down, down, down into chaos, and my life will never be the same again"
Love your reactions to pink Floyd, if you want to get the best experience of floyd my i suggest watching and reacting to pulse live concert. Keep up the great reactions.
First heard this in 1978 and have loved it ever since. Music like this remains relevant year after year. It has to be amazing hearing this for the first time.Hoping you check out The Wall and Meddle. Both excellent.
Hey Verdy great reaction mate, welcome to the Pink Floyd family lol!
I can't recall one bad song that they did, every album or song was brilliant.
If You didn't listen "The Wall" album yet, be prepare to most though story album of Pink Floyd. It's a whole new experience not only in Pink Floyd's journey but also in the history of rock music. Strongly unique as theatrical spectacle, a truly legendary musical. There are people on this world for whom life was changed after they listen it.
This became my favorite Pink Floyd album. After hearing their music for decades this is the one that lasted the best for me and the guitar sounds still send chills up my skin.
On Pigs, that strange sound was Gilmour using a voice box. The guitar runs through the voice box which is basically a distortion pedal. A large hose comes out of the voice box up to a microphone. The sound of the distorted guitar travels up the tube which the guitar player has in his mouth right next to the microphone which provides amplification. By changing the shape of your mouth you can actually make the guitar sound like it is talking. It takes great skill to coordinate the notes with shaping your mouth. Listen to Frampton Comes Alive album and the song “Do You Feel Like We Do”. Frampton was masterful at using the voice box with his guitar. CC
That sound is David Gilmour using a talk box with his guitar.
You came out of nowhere to become one of my favorite music reactors. I don't know how they do it, but it seems like Pink Floyd has access to their own notes, chords, and rhythms that no one else uses. Crazy, I know.
My favorite Pink Floyd album
Can’t believe your listening to this particular Floyd album.
Probably my favorite.
In fact I go to sleep listening to this album at least once a week. ✌️❤️
