The year was 2.018... The guy listen a 18 minutes-long song... And, at the end, he says: "It´s over? No... No... Noooooooo!" This is Pink Floyd... Nothing less...
I love Dark Side and Meddle and Wish but...damn. Animals has always been my favorite. I tried to deny it but the current political climate only cemented this album. Hard listen but sooooo worth it. I will upvote this shit EVERY TIME
i saw Pink Floyd in 1975 in Vancouver Canada and had no idea they would go on to be one of the best bands on the planet, i wish i kept the 12 dollar ticket stub
Yup, it don't get the love it deserves. My favourite along Wish you were here. The wall doesn't even get third spot in my book - that goes to the B side of Meddle (Echoes!!!).
I listened Animals for the first time when I was doing sociology classes. Words can't describe how intelligent, deep and powerful this album is. This is I call it Art, with capital A!
You Tube is awash with bloody reaction videos but this guy is an exception. I really get the feeling that he pays attention and appreciates what he listens to. And this particular video is one of my favourites. Celestial music coupled with absolutely terrifying lyrics, it can only be the mighty 'Floyd'
Amen! Of the gazillions of ‘reaction videos’ ... few are truly worth a crap ... this straight up honest man, is one of a small few that I’m subscribed to.
You are so right. A whole cottage industry has sprung up around people watching black people react to music, other that rap--I don't get it. I get the reaction videos of voice coaches analyzing great performances, but the rest is just weird. You notice there doesn't seem to be many videos of heavy metal fans reacting to great rap music.
"Who is on the guitar, bro?" Well, the answer is probably the greatest living guitar Legend on earth - David Gilmour. Make sure you bow in front of the man when u see him...
"Pink Floyd is different." Truer words were never spoken. David Gilmour is the guitarist, Roger Waters is the vocalist, Nick Mason is the drummer, and Richard Wright is the keyboardist. No other musical entity comes close to their epic, extraordinary, unique sound. Thank you for your reaction and wise words to describe them and this song. Epic masterpiece!
Usually Dave Gilmour did lead vocals or harmony lead vocals with Rick Wright. That's Dave on the first half lead of Dogs, Roger Waters on the second half lead vocals starting with" gotta admit I'm a little bit confused. Roger wrote most of their great stuff.
Roger Waters wanting more lead vocal parts is a lot of what broke the band up. It started with this album, but on the Wall he was so demanding that the other guys didn't even want to be there in the studio, and there are whole chunks of the album that Gilmour and Wright aren't even on.
I remember me and my friends sitting in someone's basement passing around the bong (around 1978). With a speaker in each corner, Animals was like riding a roller coaster.
exactly right my friend, first time I heard Animals it was on loud headphones and I didn't know it was the Floyd and then instantly became my favorite Floyd album. " pink floyd just different man " lol
I always tear up😢 when they say "in the end youll pack up and fly down south, hide ur head in the sand. Just another sad old man. All alone. Dying of cancerrrr" reminds me of my dad so much
Pink Floyd were the MASTERS of the MIX; you can always hear every instrument, and the lead instrument. Amazing harmonies. Never too loud, and crystal clear vocals. Yeah we were spoiled, spoiled then and still are! Welcome to the brotherhood!
I'm 54 and grew up listening to pink floyd. Saw them live 5 times and by far the greatest band ever. I love the fact that the younger generations are discovering them now and appreciating the artistry for what it is. Big Soul clap to you brother
It is quite a thing when you can sit for 23 mins on one song and not even realize that time is passing at all because your brain has been transported to another dimension.
mikimike Question. What was the reaction like when this album came out? I consider it their very best album but I also wasn’t born until 1991. By then everyone realized this album was genius. But from I heard it got a lot of mixed reactions when it came out.
@@marjoryarmstrong6953 HI Marjory,not very long ago someone pasted a picture on facebook of a man with his dog on the beach and asking if he was local.The replies carried on and on and on. It was David Gilmour. Just hope he continues playing,there will never be another one.
IMHO . I’m 46 and there’s a lot of great music I’ve heard. Been to many concerts like nirvana, GnR, Metallica , Aerosmith, Sabbath, Ozzy, Zeppelin(w/o Bonham) you name it. These guys are the best. No doubt in my mind. They might be aliens. They made music like nobody else
You are right! We WERE spoiled growing up in the era of Pink Floyd…rock and roll was SO GOOD in the 60’s and 70’s! Pink Floyd is the best of the Progressive Rock era. You cannot dance to this kind of music. But it takes you somewhere. We used to come home from school or work and put on headphones, turn on all this great music, turn up the volume and get lost in the journey. It was a form of meditation. It opened our minds. Where did these talents come from? Heaven, I think. That’s how it felt. If you like this music….there is more of this genre to love! Not just Pink Floyd, either. Moody Blues, Genesis, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and YES, just to name a few! When I was in High School, one of my neighbors from my class got a Pink Floyd album in the mail when he joined a Columbia Record club. We had never heard of them before. He called me over to his house and he said, “you have to listen to this album!” We probably played that album over and over for a few hours. He had four speakers, one in each corner of the room, and he turned up the volume. We were mesmerized! He rolled a joint and we were gone. We hung out a lot in the early 70’s, just listening to the albums coming in the mail. Record stores were making a fortune back then! Everybody was introducing albums they had heard with everyone else, sharing what they had been hearing. We drove around in cars with friends just listening to the radio and tapes. We went to see every band who came in concert. Some of those bands would play for 4 hours or more in concert! And they sounded just like the albums…such talent! By the way, my neighbor friend became Valedictorian of my graduating class. That music expanded our minds!
I was almost 17 when this came out. I saw them do The Wall twice (once when it fell down a bit too early and it was hurriedly rebuilt), but I'd loved to have seen the Animals tour most of all.
@AshTheFlash100 lofi vaporwave and synthwave? Sorry but those cringy repetitive keyboard loops over hip hop beats with nostalgic cartoons with VHS overlays are absolute garbage to just about any of PF's work.
THIS WHOLE ALBUM is a masterpiece. It is Roger Waters take on people. They are either Dogs Pigs or Sheep. When you get a chance listen to the whole album, it's an experience.
Faraz Oloumi Its based on Animal Farm but was ironic because the book was about Stalinism in the Soviet Union (communism + evil dictator = oh no) but the album turned it around by making it about capitalist societies like the UK and America. Its really interesting.
yes, we were spoiled in the 70ies. pink floyd, led zeppelin, deep purple, emerson lake & palmer, yes, genesis, electric light orchestra, queen, uriah heep, black sabbath, david bowie, allman brothers band, neil young, the who, peter frampton, rush, jethro tull, king crimson, frank zappa, greatful dead, kraftwerk, rainbow, rolling stones, ufo, santana, supertramp, roxy music, t. rex, rory gallagher, eric clapton, the band, focus, thin lizzy, lou reed, eagles, cheap trick, iggy pop, fleetwood mac, alice cooper, scorpions, ramones, billy joel, ac dc, chicago, kiss ... and many more ...
And that is just our music. I've been listening to a lot Brazilian bands and solo artists from the 60's and 70's. Gal Costa, Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Novos Baianos.... frigging amazing music
Ive always said that Pink Floyd's music isn't something you simply listen to, it's an event that you experience. Their music crosses reaches into you soul.
That entire album is a masterpiece. It's like a fine dinner, opening song is the appetizer, last song is desert. Do yourself a favor. Sitdown, kill the lights so no interruption, put headphones on and enjoy the journey. That's pretty much goes for all pink floyd albums
All musicians agree-Animals is the master work. Dogs might be the best song EVER laid to tape. Waters brutal lyrics mixed with Gilmours emotional expression -priceless
Good for you ! I have my parents to thank for appreciating good music as well. I turned my dad onto Pink Floyd and Santana actually. He loved great guitarists that played with taste and feeling.
Big time spoiled!! My son grew listening to my growing up music and he can name bands, band members and song names. He's now almost 40 and has passed it on to his friends, his wife and now children. Excellent music stands the test of time.
marroni ugelli You are so right and a lot of this songs really have a meaning.Not just words put together. Especially PF made not songs but albums especially Animals is telling a complete story with a message.
Actually, it is the most "on-the-spot", succint description I have heard of Pink Floyd in the last 30 years. Either Pink Floyd hits those chords in the deepest, darkest wells of your soul or ut does not... I have not heard another band that has that effect. Different
You're wrong, bro. YOU are spoiled. You have all of Pink Floyd at your finger tips right now. And for free! We who grew up with Pink Floyd not only had to pay for it, we also had to wait years & years for the albums to be released. It is fun watching you experience all this for the 1st time. The best PF songs in my opinion have both David Gilmore & Roger Waters sharing the vocals, as this does.
What he meant by spoiled, contrary to what you say... he means today's technology and ability to access art... so shut YO mouth up Lucy and Shcroder, music is universal, it's been around since cavemen beat skins to keep the predators away and became ritual dances around the fire pit,hahah🤣😎🤘
so very true, we saved and payed for music and once we got it we played it a whole and blabbed over it. We definitely didnt lift the needle in the middle of a song just to scream: "listen how awesome this was"
I think you all missed it. Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's referencing all the great innovative music that was coming from everywhere then. Music now is sampled and tested for audience approval. And all the audience knows is garbage so garbage is what they like. Imho
In 1977 I saw Pink Floyd on the Animals tour at Soldiers Field in Chicago. I was 15. Spoiled is right. Amazing to see you dig this so, so, so deeply. Thanks for your reactions!
Absolutely. A concept album dividing / representing members of society into 3 different animals ; the predator, the prey and the scavenger. Such a cool album!
I used to fall asleep listening to this album in my headphones for years as a kid. I learned to sleep through the 8-track clicking over so it played over and over till I woke in the morning. : ) Animals is still one of my favorite albums.
David Glimour Is my favorite guitarist because he puts so much feeling into every single note, but there are so many great guitarists out there. It all depends on your mood and your taste.
Definitely agree, though he may not play crazy sweeps or anything there are almost no other guitarists that put as much emotion in their playing as he does
While Gilmour shines on this, let's also appreciate what Rick Wright is doing on the keyboards here... Immaculate song in all respects. Roger's vocals, the solos, the drumming by Nick Mason, the songwriting. All out one of my favourite albums ever.
@@AshfordAH1Z It's not David singing on most of Animals. David only sings the first half of Dogs, before Rick's solo. Roger sings the second half of Dogs, and every sung vocal on every other song on the album.
I forget sometimes that we grew up with this music playing in our homes, and how new it is to your generation. Floyd, Roxy, Genesis and YES. I’m glad you’re discovering some amazing sonic landscapes!
I went to every Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin concerts that came to town back in the 70's, starting with Dark Side of the Moon, wish I could go back to that time in my life
David Gilmore on guitar, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on keyboards, Roger Waters on bass. First time I heard Pink Floyd was back in '68 when I was about 10 years old. I later got to see them in '83 at the Omni in Atlanta. A concert of the likes of which I had never seen before nor since. Love em.....
You are absolutely correct about us being spoiled. We never gave it a second thought. It was good, it was there, and we lost it. Thank god you are saving it and letting me revisit it before I go.
Animals is really meant to be listened too in its entirety...preferably with some big ass headphones on, while sitting in a lounge chair with a glass of nice aged whiskey and a spliff. (or maybe that's just me)
Chuck Dinkins. It's not just you bro. It's not just you. Balvenie 12 year single malt scotch and some nice OG Kush for me. Pink Floyd is best when you create your own environment, sit back and let them take you on their journey. Like no other band.
Just went to a Roger Waters' (Pink Floyd's bassist) concert here in Costa Rica, it was the greatest thing that I have ever seen! A truly experience, you have no idea what listening to "dogs" and "great gig in the sky" is like, I cried through out the whole concert, and I'm not kidding!
I saw Roger Waters perform in Minneapolis. The memory of seeing Great Gig in the Sky live is surpassed only by the moment I first held my daughter. Epic!
With Pink Floyd, it usually goes with us fans as “ this is our favorite song” to “ this is our favorite album “because almost all of their albums is an experience . Animals is an underrated wunderpiece.
Hey man, so great watching you enjoy this song! Made me remember my 1st time and I was so glad to see you heard everything too man - you really get what makes music great.
Saw Pink Floyd concert in 1977 - played entire Animals Album, took a break, and then entire Wish You Were Album; was amazing experience; they left, the crowd wanted an encore, didn't let up for about 30 - 40 minutes, and finally they came back and played "Money". They are the GOAT. Nowadays, you can get the next best thing, a PF tribute band "Brit Floyd", they're scheduled to do touring again in 2021, check to see if they're in a city near you - highly recommend (seen them 3 times).
Pink Floyd live is/was amazing. I first saw Floyd in April 1975 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, NY. They opened with "One of These Days" from the Meddle album. They then asked the crowd if we minded if they tried out their yet to be released next album, "Wish You Were Here". We got to hear the entire album, in order a couple months before they released it to the public. They took a 10 minute intermission and came back and played the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album, in order. They left as the crowd was shaking the place for an encore. They came back out and performed a 40 minute version of "Echoes" from the Meddle album as the encore. I have seen hundreds of concerts in the years since but the introduction to Pink Floyd live still remains the most memorable concert that I have attended. It was a sight and sound extravaganza. I had eighth row floor seats and it only cost me $7.50 face price. By far, the BEST Concert value, EVER
This Album was my Very 1st introduction to pink Floyd and it was totally by accident. On April 29th of 1979 i turned 11 years old, and my mom bought me the Greatest Gift ever... A Sony Walkman and a Kiss Cassette ( Detroit Rock City ) was so happy!!! I was walking to my friend's house to show him this New Technological Wonder... and on the way, off to the side of the road, i saw a Memorex Recordable Cassette Tape with the word "animals." Written on it. I put it in my Walkman and was totally blown away with the cornucopia of sounds, music, left and right stereo bouncing off oboth off my ears... Dogs barking in the left headphone speaks while amazing guitar solos emanating from the right headphone speaker. I never made it to my friends house because i sat on a rock in the woods and listened to that album 6 times.. i listened until it got dark, and i had to go home, i listened in my bed falling asleep, and i still have not stopped listening to Pink Floyd for the entity of my life. This is still my favorite album to fall asleep to, and i have so generously passed down all of the great music i grew up on to my 16 years old son!!!!
Preston, I can't imagine what it must be like for you crash coursing on all this great music at a time when nothing new like this is being put out. Most of us discovered and explored these great songs bit by bit, spread out over decades. You've been guzzling from a fire hydrant.
leafsfan1728 Doyle Braumhall II on the In The Flesh tour was amazing. His father played drums for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Anyway, Doyle plays the guitar left handed but he uses a right handed guitar so the strings are upside down.
Man its so nice to see that PF is still killing it with newer generations. I have loved them as my favorite band ever. Picture in your minds eye a young kid listening on an am radio for the first time, and going to buy the album. I would go in my room and put on my headphones and lay in my bed with my eyes closed to fall in to the music. When my dad left us this is what got me through. I'm glad you have enjoyed the journey with PF.
I am an old person and he’s right of course.Pink Floyd like some others were gifted to us in a golden time of modern music.But some of us ain’t dead yet and still listening-but weeping now🙂You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows🥲
I’m rapidly approaching 50 and have listened to these geniuses since I was 12. I do hear what you’re saying. I’m in the second half of my life but it’s been blessed by PF. Those poor souls who are completely unaware.
I’m still amazed that there are so many people that have either a) never heard of Pink Floyd till now and/or b) Heard OF them and that’s where their knowledge of the band just stopped. It’s nice to see so many younger kids (I’m almost 48) discover them and be totally amazed. I’ve been a fan of Floyd for literally decades and I still love hearing their music. Now if all you’ve ever heard so far are just songs you’re HALFWAY there to understanding the real Floyd. They don’t tour that often anymore, but you can easily find them on TH-cam. You’ve heard and now it’s time to see. A Pink Floyd concert is truly truly incredible. Their concerts, if you were to imagine two half circles, are like taking the one half (sound) and joining it with the other half (visual) to create the WHOLE Floyd experience. One last thing you’ll notice is that Pink Floyd, out of all the bands and singers out today, yesterday and years ago are part of a small group of bands that are BETTER when seen live! They not not sound just as good as they do on an album, they sound even better!
Andrew Kinslow I grew up in Brooklyn in the 80s and 90s in the ghetto. I didn’t listen to this until I was 32 in a call center at work of all places. I was looking for music and my co-worker suggested this album to take away the stress of customer service. As a person that never listened to rock I gave it a shot and OMG, I haven’t stopped listening since.
Preston, I've been watching your "experiences" listening to music I grew up with and have enjoyed deeply re-experiencing the music almost as though for the first time simply by following your authentic, honest enthusiasm. It's a joy to see. As a few people have commented, they're jealous for what you have ahead of you: so much music from that era that was crafted for art purposes, not simply as a product, which is where the music industry largely is today for a variety of reasons. Album sales revenues back then, when Animals was made, were substantial, and that $ meant the record labels allowed artists to take months/years/$ to create works such as Pink Floyd's Animals, because the sales would support that investment. We're in a different time today, as we know. But...at the pace you're going, you literally have a decade or two ahead of simply taking in the massive amount of quality guitar-oriented rock music created in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s....etc. You have a wonderful, joyous journey ahead of you. Keep listening and we'll keep tuning in.
Yes...I greatly enjoy the purity and sincerity of Preston's reactions. One thing that's different when comparing his age to mine when I first heard this music is he's older, and his music-listening experience is broader than mine. I see that as an advantage that provides additional perspective compared to me when I was, say, 15. I had little perspective, so while the music was captivating, I couldn't see it (yet) as a part of a larger tapestry. The fact that he has more experience and then still finds the essential magic in older music is all the more impressive.
I adore your reaction to Pink Floyd. My first major intro to them was in 1998 when I was 15 years old. They will always be the classic rock band that I reference as my favorite band of all time, period, end of story. Dogs is my favorite of all of their outstanding, brilliant musical genius. It’s hard to have to pick one, but Dogs just has to be it, every single time. I love your appreciation for greatness in music. It makes my heart so happy! ❤❤ PS - I went on a researching spree over Pink Floyd too - I learned as much as I could about the band, the albums, the split, & the individual members. Pink Floyd went through many transitions over 3 decades. Nothing about the origin or the wind down of the band was liner, much like their music.
Roger Waters (wrote all the lyrics) had some serious shit to say. I guess when you grow up in England in the ashes of WW2 authoritarians are frightening, and life is cheap and precious.
Waters' name is credited on all the songs which means he didn't JUST write the lyrics... He's the genius behind Floyd and their sound. Listen to how their sound changed after he left the band.
Mrk66One just the lyrics, musically didnt change much. Of course the later albums weren’t as good as the previous ones but it wasnt as bad as people say it. Remember, musically, Gilmour, Nick and rick were the geniuses. But its just my opinion.
I was 17 the day this lp came out. Watching your face really brings back the day i first this incredible lp. Im still smiling about it! Thanks for that. Ps i saw them play this album twice live at madison sq garden in july 77. It was exactly the way you think it was!!
In those days we didn´t think we were spoiled. This music was a normal thing and than again some wasn`t. A lot of music today is not normal but some still is.
PINK FLOYD “DOGS “ is the one and only song that even the fans underestimate. It has everything that PF has in its arsenal. Since I first heard “DOGS” I’ve been looking, looking for a way back to a time when I never heard it before. So I could sit, listen and recall what it’s like to hear for the first time. Enjoy it, because you have in your soul. And like me, this...........music will never leave you...GM,
I was 14 in 1994 when the Division Bell tour came to Rice Stadium in Houston - Dad bought tickets and took me. RAINED like a tropical event at one point, and SMACK dab in the beginning of starting Great Gig in the Sky (about halfway through the entire set list), they had to stop the concert and shut it down; the guitarists were getting shocked because everything was so wet. So I only got to see half of that concert. Even with that, STILL TO DATE the absolute BEST concert I have ever been to in my entire life, and I've been to quite a few!
My all time favorite Pink Floyd Song. Heard it the first time on cassette in my Uncle’s car stereo and instantly loved it and wanted to hear it over and over again. Glad you gave it a listen as well as other Pink Floyd classics! Respect ✌🏻
Tom Spot on mate. I think I love everyone you mentioned, and many more you could mention if that's your taste. Floyd for me have far more albums I can listen to all the way through. Even though some of the big bands wrote some of the best records ever, it's still very difficult to name more than two or three albums you would want to listen to from them. Stones and Beatles excluded.
The year was 2.018... The guy listen a 18 minutes-long song... And, at the end, he says: "It´s over? No... No... Noooooooo!"
This is Pink Floyd... Nothing less...
Oh hell yeah the real Floyd with Waters and Gilmore
I love Dark Side and Meddle and Wish but...damn. Animals has always been my favorite. I tried to deny it but the current political climate only cemented this album. Hard listen but sooooo worth it. I will upvote this shit EVERY TIME
Nate Williams This shit is so relevant to now. It was a brilliant concept back then, and now you listen to it and wonder why we never changed course.

@@johnfranckiewicz8710 I'll bet you got plenty... me and my bros could only dream of stuff like that... and believe me we did
the whole Animals album is a masterpiece . 500 years from now it will still be played like Beethoven and Bach
Yes, agreed.
It will be forever, it has so much emotion in the music! Agreed!
They really where the Mozart and Beethoven of their time. Nobody else was playing like them.
Yup, it don't get the love it deserves. My favourite along Wish you were here. The wall doesn't even get third spot in my book - that goes to the B side of Meddle (Echoes!!!).
You're not wrong!
As a life-long Pink Floyd fan, I have always considered the Animals album to be the artistic pinnacle of their career. Peerless.
I listened Animals for the first time when I was doing sociology classes. Words can't describe how intelligent, deep and powerful this album is. This is I call it Art, with capital A!

"Who is on the guitar, bro?" Well, the answer is probably the greatest living guitar Legend on earth - David Gilmour. Make sure you bow in front of the man when u see him...
❤️
His solo stuff is pretty bloody good as well - On An Island is kind similar to Dogs, but David Gilmour's own work.
Bro, literally took the words out of my mouth. Legendary.
The one, the only. David Gilmour.
And he sang that shit!!!!
Dogs = Wall Street,
Pigs = Government,
Sheep = Us....
This album is influenced a lot by George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Didn't know that, makes a lot more sense now. Thanks man.
Actually it's about Life in England
@@bryanblack526 it is heavily influenced by animal farm hence the song names, and each song is about different social classes
@@capttrips8057 yeah, in England, has nothing to do about the U.S.
Thats true. Its about lif in England about 60-70s.
"Pink Floyd is different." Truer words were never spoken. David Gilmour is the guitarist, Roger Waters is the vocalist, Nick Mason is the drummer, and Richard Wright is the keyboardist.

Roger Waters wanting more lead vocal parts is a lot of what broke the band up. It started with this album, but on the Wall he was so demanding that the other guys didn't even want to be there in the studio, and there are whole chunks of the album that Gilmour and Wright aren't even on.
david gilmore was also the vocals and guitarist on first opening.
I remember me and my friends sitting in someone's basement passing around the bong (around 1978). With a speaker in each corner, Animals was like riding a roller coaster.
Me too !!!
Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, and a five-finger lid. Maybe some Buddha stick.
Imagine that but with LSD
mwhich50 been there mate with the acid as well what a trip fuck me 😂😂
I remember the bong. We had a mark 5 gas mask attached to the bong. Pink Floyd made weed so much better.
David Gilmour is the genius behind that guitar.
2nd to none
Best guitarist of all time, one of the few that could actually make you feel some sorta way
None better!
Gilmour IS a genius. Agree 100%
Alec Dukas not the "best"...... but by far my favorite.
1)Hendrix
2)SRV
3)Gilmour
4)Terry Kath
5)clapton
6) Brian May
7)Santana
Animals is usually the last album Floyd fans get into and it is usually the one album they will love most one day!
Nailed it. Didn't give it a real listen til my last deployment, and now it's my fave.
i'm very fond of the album OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. but i have to listen to it at chipmunk speed. it gives it a completely different vibe.
Polecat54941 you are so right. I found animals after Dark Side, The Wall, Momentary Lapse, Division Bell, Echoes. Animals is my absolute favourite.
So true
exactly right my friend, first time I heard Animals it was on loud headphones and I didn't know it was the Floyd and then instantly became my favorite Floyd album. " pink floyd just different man " lol
The barking sound with the keyboard tremelo still blows my mind to this day
I always tear up😢 when they say "in the end youll pack up and fly down south, hide ur head in the sand. Just another sad old man. All alone. Dying of cancerrrr" reminds me of my dad so much
I'm jealous, cause you still have many Pink Floyd songs yet to discover lol, David Gilmour on guitar
Yes he's so lucky
fuczo has he finished Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX) yet?
@@JoelBrousseau no, just I-V
Ahahaha, I cannot *wait* for his reaction to SOYCD part VI and that screaming guitar in particular.
He should definitely react to Comfortably Numb in PULSE concert.
"Who's on the guitar?"
The one and only God Almighty: Dave Gilmour
Ricardo Parra Quintero Did you really just say that who is on the guitar that is blasphemy.
Such an underrated musician ....gimour plays so deep so clean ! He truly is a master !
@@lennypignatello7493: Somebody has a difficult time with a question in quote marks followed by the answer.
This Sucks fuck off
No need to insult David Gilmore, he’s better than God.
Pink Floyd were the MASTERS of the MIX; you can always hear every instrument, and the lead instrument. Amazing harmonies. Never too loud, and crystal clear vocals. Yeah we were spoiled, spoiled then and still are! Welcome to the brotherhood!
I'm 54 and grew up listening to pink floyd.
Saw them live 5 times and by far the greatest band ever.
I love the fact that the younger generations are discovering them now and appreciating the artistry for what it is.
Big Soul clap to you brother
It is quite a thing when you can sit for 23 mins on one song and not even realize that time is passing at all because your brain has been transported to another dimension.
Thats what I was thinking this morning...I was hung over, wife was cooking, snowy outside, dog laying by the wood stove and time just elapsed....
I'm 65 years old and discovered Pink Floyd in 1972, so I've been spoiled for 46 years.
mikimike Question. What was the reaction like when this album came out? I consider it their very best album but I also wasn’t born until 1991. By then everyone realized this album was genius. But from I heard it got a lot of mixed reactions when it came out.
I'm 58 and I found them to in 72. I went to this concert. 😎😎. Their my favorite band.
@@marjoryarmstrong6953 I'm 80 next year
stan wood . Ok stan you win on knowing about floyd the longest. Congrats on being so young.😎😉
@@marjoryarmstrong6953 HI Marjory,not very long ago someone pasted a picture on facebook of a man with his dog on the beach and asking if he was local.The replies carried on and on and on. It was David Gilmour. Just hope he continues playing,there will never be another one.
IMHO . I’m 46 and there’s a lot of great music I’ve heard. Been to many concerts like nirvana, GnR, Metallica , Aerosmith, Sabbath, Ozzy, Zeppelin(w/o Bonham) you name it.
These guys are the best. No doubt in my mind.
They might be aliens.
They made music like nobody else
Lol. 👽
You are right! We WERE spoiled growing up in the era of Pink Floyd…rock and roll was SO GOOD in the 60’s and 70’s! Pink Floyd is the best of the Progressive Rock era. You cannot dance to this kind of music. But it takes you somewhere. We used to come home from school or work and put on headphones, turn on all this great music, turn up the volume and get lost in the journey. It was a form of meditation. It opened our minds. Where did these talents come from? Heaven, I think. That’s how it felt. If you like this music….there is more of this genre to love! Not just Pink Floyd, either. Moody Blues, Genesis, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and YES, just to name a few!
When I was in High School, one of my neighbors from my class got a Pink Floyd album in the mail when he joined a Columbia Record club. We had never heard of them before. He called me over to his house and he said, “you have to listen to this album!” We probably played that album over and over for a few hours. He had four speakers, one in each corner of the room, and he turned up the volume. We were mesmerized! He rolled a joint and we were gone. We hung out a lot in the early 70’s, just listening to the albums coming in the mail. Record stores were making a fortune back then! Everybody was introducing albums they had heard with everyone else, sharing what they had been hearing. We drove around in cars with friends just listening to the radio and tapes. We went to see every band who came in concert. Some of those bands would play for 4 hours or more in concert! And they sounded just like the albums…such talent! By the way, my neighbor friend became Valedictorian of my graduating class. That music expanded our minds!
Lived the same life I think in the 70s we were all doing pretty much the same thing
The late Richard Wright on keyboards. Such a huge part of the Pink Floyd sound. I salute him!
I hear you say "It wasn't long enough". React to "Echoes" from the Meddle album if you haven't already. Over 23 minutes of musical masterpiece.
I have a portrait tat of Rick on my leg
Robert Ferguson so many are gone now.
So underrated.
the unsung hero of Floyd. it wouldn't have been what it was without him. RIP Richard.
100 years from now, Pink Floyd will be talked about like Mozart, Beethoven all those guys, are nowadays. Still the best and always will be.
They will not just be talked about. There will be concerts.
@@fordprefect9296 hologram floyd?
Dont forget Chopin
Liam McClean couldn’t have said it better!
Mozart & Tchikovsky in the same sentence ...
I was 17 when this album was released. I’m old now, but I still feel the magic. Rock on, my Brother. Rock on. Peace
I was almost 17 when this came out. I saw them do The Wall twice (once when it fell down a bit too early and it was hurriedly rebuilt), but I'd loved to have seen the Animals tour most of all.
The cool thing about the "stone" delay is that is comes back two songs later.
And in learning to fly and hey you :O
Richard Wild utter genius
Toast Servant The stone repeat loop DOES NOT appear on either of those songs, get your facts right 🙄🙄
@@trevorsanders5303 Just meant the word
it’s also mentioned on The Wall album
The entire Animals album is a masterpiece
Lee It is by far my favorite.
@@grandwazoo1696 same. Amazing album
@@HollowGolem Very much my favorite.
Pink Floyd is a masterpiece.
We were so spoiled, Floyd, Sabbath, Purple, Zeppelin and on and on, wouldn't have missed the seventies for anything.
You and me both!!
Im 57 kids dont hav shit now
@AshTheFlash100 lofi vaporwave and synthwave? Sorry but those cringy repetitive keyboard loops over hip hop beats with nostalgic cartoons with VHS overlays are absolute garbage to just about any of PF's work.
We weren't spoiled... this was just run of the mill shit when we were kids. Just shows what garbage they pump out now.
If you remember the 70's - you werent there. :P
I grew up listening to Pink Floyd brother! Killer stuff! David Gilmour on guitar! Goosebumps listening to it again! Thanks my man! 🥁🇨🇦❤️
Bro, when he sings "the bad blood slows and turns to stone" and that echo effect always, always gets me.
THIS WHOLE ALBUM is a masterpiece. It is Roger Waters take on people. They are either Dogs Pigs or Sheep. When you get a chance listen to the whole album, it's an experience.
It's actually loosely based on the Animal Farm by George Orwell, not just Roger's take on people!
@@FarazOloumi Ty bra. I did not know this.
@@jahzen67 my pleasure!
Faraz Oloumi
Its based on Animal Farm but was ironic because the book was about Stalinism in the Soviet Union (communism + evil dictator = oh no) but the album turned it around by making it about capitalist societies like the UK and America. Its really interesting.
@@washhtswarrior6411 indeed! It's essentially a commentary on the British life at the time!
yes, we were spoiled in the 70ies. pink floyd, led zeppelin, deep purple, emerson lake & palmer, yes, genesis, electric light orchestra, queen, uriah heep, black sabbath, david bowie, allman brothers band, neil young, the who, peter frampton, rush, jethro tull, king crimson, frank zappa, greatful dead, kraftwerk, rainbow, rolling stones, ufo, santana, supertramp, roxy music, t. rex, rory gallagher, eric clapton, the band, focus, thin lizzy, lou reed, eagles, cheap trick, iggy pop, fleetwood mac, alice cooper, scorpions, ramones, billy joel, ac dc, chicago, kiss ... and many more ...
Amazing list for the future people!
And that is just our music. I've been listening to a lot Brazilian bands and solo artists from the 60's and 70's. Gal Costa, Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Novos Baianos.... frigging amazing music
Yea I love 99% of those bands listed. But at least my generation had TOOL!!
I would LOVE to hear him react to Deep Purple! Sigh... so much good music!!
@@AGDinCA child in time, live in japan ... sigh
I’d highly recommend High Hopes - Pink Floyd
The last solo is not from this planet.
He did it bro. I absolutely agree with you. That solo is masterpiece.
Ive always said that Pink Floyd's music isn't something you simply listen to, it's an event that you experience.
Their music crosses reaches into you soul.
That entire album is a masterpiece. It's like a fine dinner, opening song is the appetizer, last song is desert. Do yourself a favor. Sitdown, kill the lights so no interruption, put headphones on and enjoy the journey. That's pretty much goes for all pink floyd albums
Especially for Animals though. It's their Magnum Opus imo.
All musicians agree-Animals is the master work. Dogs might be the best song EVER laid to tape. Waters brutal lyrics mixed with Gilmours emotional expression -priceless
@@whitewizzardllc2348 the definition of MASTERPIECE
Pigs (Three Different Ones)....
Prepare yourself.....
haha charade you are
And... Sheep
my favourite!
My favorite song on this album. The arrangements the sound effects, masterpiece.
Yea check out live versions of pigs ..the. Pig squeal by waters is super cool the live versions are raw and just off the hook man
Animals - bar none - the most musically and philosophically underrated Pink Floyd album...period.
It's their most musically advanced with The Wall coming close behind... From a music theory side, Animals takes the cake!
Not underrated among funs.
"who is on the guitar, bro?! .... who is on the guitar, he's killin this shit!" awesome reaction i laughed out loud!
Yes I was spoiled with Pink Floyd growing up! I can thank my mom for that! Thank you mom 💖💖
Good for you ! I have my parents to thank for appreciating good music as well. I turned my dad onto Pink Floyd and Santana actually. He loved great guitarists that played with taste and feeling.
My stepdad was from Derbyshire.. He had everything from Jethro Tull to Sparks..
Thank you Mel .
My parents hated Pink Floyd. I discovered them in the early 90's and fell in love with their music. Sorry mom and dad for listening behind your backs.
Yep King, we were definitely spoiled! Which is why we're so snobby and critical of today's music!
centuryrox you got that right
Big time spoiled!! My son grew listening to my growing up music and he can name bands, band members and song names. He's now almost 40 and has passed it on to his friends, his wife and now children. Excellent music stands the test of time.
marroni ugelli You are so right and a lot of this songs really have a meaning.Not just words put together. Especially PF made not songs but albums especially Animals is telling a complete story with a message.
Amen to that!!
We may be old and spoiled, but at least we got to see all the good bands
I took my daughter to see Pink Floyd in concert for her 10th birthday in 1987. She's was and still is a fan.
David Gilmour is on the guitar . One of the most creative and toaching soul guitarplayer in the world
“Pink Floyd’s just different”.
Gigantic understatement!
Massive understatement.... I refer to them as "Consensual Misery"....
Actually, it is the most "on-the-spot", succint description I have heard of Pink Floyd in the last 30 years. Either Pink Floyd hits those chords in the deepest, darkest wells of your soul or ut does not... I have not heard another band that has that effect. Different
You're wrong, bro. YOU are spoiled. You have all of Pink Floyd at your finger tips right now. And for free! We who grew up with Pink Floyd not only had to pay for it, we also had to wait years & years for the albums to be released.
It is fun watching you experience all this for the 1st time. The best PF songs in my opinion have both David Gilmore & Roger Waters sharing the vocals, as this does.
You are so right🔊 The product of these guys was life changing. Nothing better.
What he meant by spoiled, contrary to what you say... he means today's technology and ability to access art... so shut YO mouth up Lucy and Shcroder, music is universal, it's been around since cavemen beat skins to keep the predators away and became ritual dances around the fire pit,hahah🤣😎🤘
Yep - I know what he meant -- that we had access to these amazing innovative musicians.. without having to "seek them out" @@josephhickman2789
so very true, we saved and payed for music and once we got it we played it a whole and blabbed over it. We definitely didnt lift the needle in the middle of a song just to scream: "listen how awesome this was"
I think you all missed it. Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's referencing all the great innovative music that was coming from everywhere then. Music now is sampled and tested for audience approval. And all the audience knows is garbage so garbage is what they like. Imho
I'm 63 years old and still rock and roll.
In 1977 I saw Pink Floyd on the Animals tour at Soldiers Field in Chicago. I was 15. Spoiled is right. Amazing to see you dig this so, so, so deeply. Thanks for your reactions!
Just do the next 2 songs of this album, they're called "Pigs" and "Sheep". Don't make us wait one month us Pink Floyd fans ! :D
hell yee
Pigs is incredible.
Sheep with lyrics = Mind Blown...
@@RobertLoves agree. best cadenced lyrics in Rock and Roll.
YES! "Pigs" and "Sheep"
Two beautifully powerful songs!!
Agreed, wholeheartedly!!
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album
mine too. Amen!
The best album in my opinion
I'm a huge Tool fan but Animals has always been my favorite album of all time.
Most underrated and one of my all time favorite Floyd albums!
A Pink Floyd concert is when you don't speak to the person beside you for two hours.
hahahahahaha.....brilliant.
I love when he ask: "whos on the guitar, man?" Ahahahhahahaahhahaahhaahahhahaahahahahahahahahahha greetings from Brazil
All of Animals is crazy good! Even Pigs on the Wing
Best Floyd album imo
For sure.
On concept albums, never judge songs in isolation. Evaluate them in the context of the concept.
Absolutely. A concept album dividing / representing members of society into 3 different animals ; the predator, the prey and the scavenger. Such a cool album!
all the albums are great id say the final cut is just ok
David Gilmour is the legend you hear making that guitar talk!
LeBron Colbaugh : Agreed! He is literally channeling emotion through the Guitar, not too many people can do that!
I used to fall asleep listening to this album in my headphones for years as a kid. I learned to sleep through the 8-track clicking over so it played over and over till I woke in the morning. : ) Animals is still one of my favorite albums.
Damn you played for your whole sleep? What a waste of batteries 🤣
makes me feel blessed to have seen this tour, back in the day
Impeccable guitar solos in this one. He can make that guitar weep...like crying angels. David Gilmour's style is soooo gooood!!
Don't forget baaa like sheep and bark like dogs and oink like pigs.
That there is David guilmour. Best guitar player ever
@Jeff Fowler He's in the top 15 in virtually every list (#14 by Rolling Stone) and in the top 10 of most.
David Glimour Is my favorite guitarist because he puts so much feeling into every single note, but there are so many great guitarists out there. It all depends on your mood and your taste.
Definitely agree, though he may not play crazy sweeps or anything there are almost no other guitarists that put as much emotion in their playing as he does
Jeff Fowler - It’s not always how fast one is, but can you feel it?
Agreed 100%. If anyone needs proof, check out the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb.
Imagine listening to such a good song that half way through it already becomes your favorite Pink Floyd song.
Anyone here remeber DrJohnny Fever spinning this vinyl on an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati?
I love WKRP!
While Gilmour shines on this, let's also appreciate what Rick Wright is doing on the keyboards here... Immaculate song in all respects. Roger's vocals, the solos, the drumming by Nick Mason, the songwriting. All out one of my favourite albums ever.
RIP Rick
Its david singing on most of Animals
@@AshfordAH1Z It's not David singing on most of Animals. David only sings the first half of Dogs, before Rick's solo. Roger sings the second half of Dogs, and every sung vocal on every other song on the album.
Right on. This song is ALL 4 members shining through. Gilmour and Wright truly make this one incredible.
Roger wrote most of it
David Gilmour - AKA - God's Guitarist.
Nah man Gilmour is one of the greatest but I'm going with Jimmy Page man he was legendary
EaR_LOV3R28 nah man he’s talking about Gilmour’s actual nickname. Like Clapton’s is Slowhand.
@@nagaslrac oh word lol my bad, either way both are literally gods guitarists
EaR_LOV3R28 🤙
@@goodskater6789 Jimmy Page is absolute beast but I think Gilmour has a more profound voice in his guitar. Either way two of the greatest for sure
I forget sometimes that we grew up with this music playing in our homes, and how new it is to your generation. Floyd, Roxy, Genesis and YES. I’m glad you’re discovering some amazing sonic landscapes!
I went to every Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin concerts that came to town back in the 70's, starting with Dark Side of the Moon, wish I could go back to that time in my life
Mate, you're not kidding I was spoiled. Born in 61 and grew up in England. Love that you love it.
Same as:) Loved Floyd for most of the 58 years since
I was born in 62 and grew up with such great music! I am spoiled...you're right!
I was born in 1970 ... Chile and raised in Australia since 1976 ... straight into Pink Floyd!
61 here too, what a time!
Born in 61’ here, and yes! We grew up with this mind expansion “candy”!
What a lucky bastard. I wish I can go back in time just to rediscover all Pink Floyd classics.
David Gilmore on guitar, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on keyboards, Roger Waters on bass. First time I heard Pink Floyd was back in '68 when I was about 10 years old. I later got to see them in '83 at the Omni in Atlanta. A concert of the likes of which I had never seen before nor since. Love em.....
You are absolutely correct about us being spoiled. We never gave it a second thought. It was good, it was there, and we lost it. Thank god you are saving it and letting me revisit it before I go.
Pink Floyd Echoes live at Pompeii
Pink Floyd live at Pompeii-echoes.
It's a whole new experience my man check it out
He has to do this one. My favorite thing Pink Floyd ever did
I'm telling this about 3 months now!!!
Yes! This must be the next one 😍
YES YES YES it would be great, Echoes at Pompeii
Echoes live at Pompeii is too cool for me, that will be the bomb, this is on the top there
Thanks for reminding me of this track! Goosebumps every time
I just love the way you are so connected emotionally to this band! They are in my top 3 rock bands of all time!
Animals is really meant to be listened too in its entirety...preferably with some big ass headphones on, while sitting in a lounge chair with a glass of nice aged whiskey and a spliff. (or maybe that's just me)
After the eargasm of Dogs, I need to kick back and catch my breath.
Chuck Dinkins. It's not just you bro. It's not just you. Balvenie 12 year single malt scotch and some nice OG Kush for me. Pink Floyd is best when you create your own environment, sit back and let them take you on their journey. Like no other band.
Chuck Dinkins I’m with on that bro... but with a fat cigar
Two spliffs
Ding dong! Yup
Blunts + Headphones + Pink Floyd = Trip.
One of my favorite PF songs ever. I truly enjoyed watching you experience it for the first time. Was like re-experiening my first listen...thank you.
Loved listening to this along with you, your reactions are great and helped me relive that time when i first heard it!
Just went to a Roger Waters' (Pink Floyd's bassist) concert here in Costa Rica, it was the greatest thing that I have ever seen! A truly experience, you have no idea what listening to "dogs" and "great gig in the sky" is like, I cried through out the whole concert, and I'm not kidding!
I saw Roger Waters perform in Minneapolis.
The memory of seeing Great Gig in the Sky live is surpassed only by the moment I first held my daughter. Epic!
I cried in dogs twice and in us and them. Manly tears shed across the world lol
With Pink Floyd, it usually goes with us fans as “ this is our favorite song” to “ this is our favorite album “because almost all of their albums is an experience . Animals is an underrated wunderpiece.
Hey man, so great watching you enjoy this song! Made me remember my 1st time and I was so glad to see you heard everything too man - you really get what makes music great.
Saw Pink Floyd concert in 1977 - played entire Animals Album, took a break, and then entire Wish You Were Album; was amazing experience; they left, the crowd wanted an encore, didn't let up for about 30 - 40 minutes, and finally they came back and played "Money". They are the GOAT. Nowadays, you can get the next best thing, a PF tribute band "Brit Floyd", they're scheduled to do touring again in 2021, check to see if they're in a city near you - highly recommend (seen them 3 times).
Pink Floyd live is/was amazing.
I first saw Floyd in April 1975 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, NY.
They opened with "One of These Days" from the Meddle album. They then asked the crowd if we minded if they tried out their yet to be released next album, "Wish You Were Here". We got to hear the entire album, in order a couple months before they released it to the public. They took a 10 minute intermission and came back and played the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album, in order. They left as the crowd was shaking the place for an encore. They came back out and performed a 40 minute version of "Echoes" from the Meddle album as the encore. I have seen hundreds of concerts in the years since but the introduction to Pink Floyd live still remains the most memorable concert that I have attended. It was a sight and sound extravaganza. I had eighth row floor seats and it only cost me $7.50 face price. By far, the BEST Concert value, EVER
I love Clare Torry’s voice too, but you have to admit, David Gilmour’s guitar sings like no one else.
It was needed to be said and you said it 👏
This Album was my Very 1st introduction to pink Floyd and it was totally by accident. On April 29th of 1979 i turned 11 years old, and my mom bought me the Greatest Gift ever... A Sony Walkman and a Kiss Cassette ( Detroit Rock City ) was so happy!!! I was walking to my friend's house to show him this New Technological Wonder... and on the way, off to the side of the road, i saw a Memorex Recordable Cassette Tape with the word "animals." Written on it. I put it in my Walkman and was totally blown away with the cornucopia of sounds, music, left and right stereo bouncing off oboth off my ears... Dogs barking in the left headphone speaks while amazing guitar solos emanating from the right headphone speaker. I never made it to my friends house because i sat on a rock in the woods and listened to that album 6 times.. i listened until it got dark, and i had to go home, i listened in my bed falling asleep, and i still have not stopped listening to Pink Floyd for the entity of my life. This is still my favorite album to fall asleep to, and i have so generously passed down all of the great music i grew up on to my 16 years old son!!!!
Thank you for playing this song
It is one of my all-time favorite songs and album 😍😍😍
Preston, I can't imagine what it must be like for you crash coursing on all this great music at a time when nothing new like this is being put out. Most of us discovered and explored these great songs bit by bit, spread out over decades. You've been guzzling from a fire hydrant.
Those guitar solos get me every time man...nobody can play with the emotion of David Gilmour! The whole Animals album is a masterpiece!!
leafsfan1728 Doyle Braumhall II on the In The Flesh tour was amazing. His father played drums for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Anyway, Doyle plays the guitar left handed but he uses a right handed guitar so the strings are upside down.
All three songs. He plays them, like the animal namesakes.
Man its so nice to see that PF is still killing it with newer generations. I have loved them as my favorite band ever. Picture in your minds eye a young kid listening on an am radio for the first time, and going to buy the album. I would go in my room and put on my headphones and lay in my bed with my eyes closed to fall in to the music. When my dad left us this is what got me through. I'm glad you have enjoyed the journey with PF.
I am an old person and he’s right of course.Pink Floyd like some others were gifted to us in a golden time of modern music.But some of us ain’t dead yet and still listening-but weeping now🙂You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows🥲
I’m rapidly approaching 50 and have listened to these geniuses since I was 12. I do hear what you’re saying. I’m in the second half of my life but it’s been blessed by PF. Those poor souls who are completely unaware.
I wonder how many people have been turned onto Pink Floyd because of King KTF?
Ferrell Slowtalker me can’t believe I never listened to them before other than brick in the wall
Not enough.
I’m still amazed that there are so many people that have either a) never heard of Pink Floyd till now and/or b) Heard OF them and that’s where their knowledge of the band just stopped. It’s nice to see so many younger kids (I’m almost 48) discover them and be totally amazed. I’ve been a fan of Floyd for literally decades and I still love hearing their music.
Now if all you’ve ever heard so far are just songs you’re HALFWAY there to understanding the real Floyd. They don’t tour that often anymore, but you can easily find them on TH-cam. You’ve heard and now it’s time to see. A Pink Floyd concert is truly truly incredible. Their concerts, if you were to imagine two half circles, are like taking the one half (sound) and joining it with the other half (visual) to create the WHOLE Floyd experience.
One last thing you’ll notice is that Pink Floyd, out of all the bands and singers out today, yesterday and years ago are part of a small group of bands that are BETTER when seen live! They not not sound just as good as they do on an album, they sound even better!
Andrew Kinslow I grew up in Brooklyn in the 80s and 90s in the ghetto. I didn’t listen to this until I was 32 in a call center at work of all places. I was looking for music and my co-worker suggested this album to take away the stress of customer service. As a person that never listened to rock I gave it a shot and OMG, I haven’t stopped listening since.
Preston, I've been watching your "experiences" listening to music I grew up with and have enjoyed deeply re-experiencing the music almost as though for the first time simply by following your authentic, honest enthusiasm. It's a joy to see. As a few people have commented, they're jealous for what you have ahead of you: so much music from that era that was crafted for art purposes, not simply as a product, which is where the music industry largely is today for a variety of reasons. Album sales revenues back then, when Animals was made, were substantial, and that $ meant the record labels allowed artists to take months/years/$ to create works such as Pink Floyd's Animals, because the sales would support that investment. We're in a different time today, as we know. But...at the pace you're going, you literally have a decade or two ahead of simply taking in the massive amount of quality guitar-oriented rock music created in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s....etc. You have a wonderful, joyous journey ahead of you. Keep listening and we'll keep tuning in.
Ditto. Watching his reactions make me his age again (or younger) when the world of music was fresh and ready to be discovered.
Yes...I greatly enjoy the purity and sincerity of Preston's reactions. One thing that's different when comparing his age to mine when I first heard this music is he's older, and his music-listening experience is broader than mine. I see that as an advantage that provides additional perspective compared to me when I was, say, 15. I had little perspective, so while the music was captivating, I couldn't see it (yet) as a part of a larger tapestry. The fact that he has more experience and then still finds the essential magic in older music is all the more impressive.
Yes Sir...It is a real joy to watch these black folks experience these songs......It's like re-living it all again....
Pink Floyd Live at Earls Court, if you want to watch a concert. You'll never see another one like it.
100%
I adore your reaction to Pink Floyd. My first major intro to them was in 1998 when I was 15 years old. They will always be the classic rock band that I reference as my favorite band of all time, period, end of story. Dogs is my favorite of all of their outstanding, brilliant musical genius. It’s hard to have to pick one, but Dogs just has to be it, every single time. I love your appreciation for greatness in music. It makes my heart so happy! ❤❤ PS - I went on a researching spree over Pink Floyd too - I learned as much as I could about the band, the albums, the split, & the individual members. Pink Floyd went through many transitions over 3 decades. Nothing about the origin or the wind down of the band was liner, much like their music.
The holy trinity of sound.
Dark side of the moon.
Wish you were here.
Animals.
Binge listen, no need to skip a thing.
That the truth..
Nobody likes The Wall?
Agreed.
@@mr.motivation3797 well yes
... I think it's lack of mention is just , well, it's a given.
The Wall is definitely included. Those are the big four.
Roger Waters (wrote all the lyrics) had some serious shit to say. I guess when you grow up in England in the ashes of WW2 authoritarians are frightening, and life is cheap and precious.
Amazing lyrics.
Waters' name is credited on all the songs which means he didn't JUST write the lyrics... He's the genius behind Floyd and their sound. Listen to how their sound changed after he left the band.
Mrk66One just the lyrics, musically didnt change much. Of course the later albums weren’t as good as the previous ones but it wasnt as bad as people say it. Remember, musically, Gilmour, Nick and rick were the geniuses. But its just my opinion.
Listen to Waters solo album, Amused To Death, that album alone settles any question. Without a conductor and direction, we get a Gilmour solo album.
@@Lend66 I love how people state Subjectivity like it was fact.
I was 17 the day this lp came out. Watching your face really brings back the day i first this incredible lp. Im still smiling about it! Thanks for that. Ps i saw them play this album twice live at madison sq garden in july 77. It was exactly the way you think it was!!
In those days we didn´t think we were spoiled. This music was a normal thing and than again some wasn`t. A lot of music today is not normal but some still is.
PINK FLOYD “DOGS “ is the one and only song that even the fans underestimate. It has everything that PF has in its arsenal. Since I first heard “DOGS” I’ve been looking, looking for a way back to a time when I never heard it before. So I could sit, listen and recall what it’s like to hear for the first time. Enjoy it, because you have in your soul. And like me, this...........music will never leave you...GM,
@planet__ X thanks for the information man
My friend, let me introduce you to LSD. Listen to this album on LSD and it will be as close to new again as you can get.
I learned to play this song in a college band many years ago, and haven't played it live since but it remains my favorite Pink Floyd song.
In my book, this album is actually their best work.
I think it's overrated and I'm a huge Floyd fan. For me the Narrow Way Part 3 is underestimated
Welcome to the magnificent land of David Gilmour guitar solos!
I was 14 in 1994 when the Division Bell tour came to Rice Stadium in Houston - Dad bought tickets and took me. RAINED like a tropical event at one point, and SMACK dab in the beginning of starting Great Gig in the Sky (about halfway through the entire set list), they had to stop the concert and shut it down; the guitarists were getting shocked because everything was so wet. So I only got to see half of that concert. Even with that, STILL TO DATE the absolute BEST concert I have ever been to in my entire life, and I've been to quite a few!
My all time favorite Pink Floyd Song. Heard it the first time on cassette in my Uncle’s car stereo and instantly loved it and wanted to hear it over and over again. Glad you gave it a listen as well as other Pink Floyd classics! Respect ✌🏻
In my opinion the greatest band that ever lived taking into account all albums.

Spot on mate.
I think I love everyone you mentioned, and many more you could mention if that's your taste.
Floyd for me have far more albums I can listen to all the way through.
Even though some of the big bands wrote some of the best records ever, it's still
very difficult to name more than two or three albums you would want to listen to from them. Stones and Beatles excluded.
Pink Floyd or Tool... Really couldn't pick between the two.
"You know you're good when you can keep somebody's attention for this long." Couldn't agree more! Always a pleasure watching your videos.
Man I’m so happy you did my favorite song from Pink Floyd you are the best bro.
I was spoiled for sure! Listening to this while driving on a snowy winter night during the 70's....priceless!
