My husbands all time favorite. When I hear it, I image my husband right next to me as the sound penetrates every fiber of our souls. Im sure my husband is listening to this in Heaven. This is for you my love.
I'm SURE when you're listening to this; he's sitting right next to you, because after all, there's no where else in the entire universe he would rather be.
Im sure he is listening and right next to you. pink floyd are just 1 of a kind. No one has come close to pink floyd and i very much dought any one will

We lost my oldest son to an armed robber back in 2006. He was a brilliant musician and amazing guitar player, and every time I hear Wish You Were Here, I think of him and truly wish he was here.
My condolences man. Same story here with my cousin, who was more of a brother to me. And he actually loved this album.. what can I say. I learned one lesson. Let it go and live the way he would have been proud for you. Much love
Here Here, born in 71' & been in love with Pink Floyd since 75' . Aunts and uncles having a party, the first time I heard dark side of the moon and introduced to one of our relatives.. Mary Jane . Contact of course. R.I.P Richard Wright
Sitting in my truck in the Hamptons, got my headphones on, watching the waves, they seem to be moving in time to the music, it's great to be alive, Wish You Were Here.
Tom, same name: 11 April 2022. Traveled from Florida to Maine and spent a year. Jumped in my J eep and drove to ND. Got here 6 days ago maybe 8: sitting here in a new apartment: shine on you crazy diamond! We all have our story 🤙

Pure musical genius. As with most Floyd albums, this is not a collection of songs, but a complete work of art that must be experienced in its entirety from beginning to end, with no interruptions.
I'm pretty sure when they made this album, it was made for commercials. I got a skin-whitening creme, a canned tuna, a money wiring service and vitamin, all during songs - not between - just as Pink Floyd intended.
As a young Scotsman,29 years old, I was living in a town called Eilat, Sinai Desert, The Red Sea, Israel, and lived just outside town as I worked in a Hotel there, anyways there was a Cafe on the Beach and the owner loved the Pink Floyd though he was a young Arab and we smoked a lot of Lebanese Hashish together and sometimes I would go out into the warm water, float on my back, very stoned, and watch the shooting Stars across the Desert sky while he played this Album, LOUDLY, and tears would flood my face as this sound would totally engulf my entire being in pure fucking ecstasy as I floated in what seemed like space, and even now as I hear it the emotion fills me up... Such days indeed.. Now Im 73 wondering where the time went...
@@Liefvikerson : Life experience, I left my home at 17 and travelled the World, now Im 73 and settled in South East Asia. I only ever wanted to visit every country in the entire world.. Ive been in 50 of them.
@@thisisbeyondajoke6748 Meddle is their most underrated album for sure. It comes very close to being just as good as the big four. Division Bell is also completely amazing
His little tribute to Syd at the very end of the album is so touching, a wee medley of "See Emily Play" and "Remember a Day", the first time I realised it kind of made me well up a bit, total genius musicianship!.
20 years old when 1st listened 2 this album. I new then my life was gonna be mad.i lost both my parents i was 9...this album means a lot.😊❤😢 im 55 though now...Still here...😊❤😢
I was born in Pakistan and lived there for 32 years then moved to USA now I am 64 years old still I remembered Pink Floyd song’s I think it’s the greatest band of all time , all the members were Phenomenal
Listening to this crying. I feel like I can't breathe. Today, I am so overwhelmed with loss, I just need to let it out. I so love this album, even when it hurts.
It’s 5:30am on a Sunday, I’m on my roof looking at the city skyline. The air is crisp and clear (first clear morning since the rain we’ve had in San Diego) wish you were here
It's easy to get emotional when you've had too much to drink and you're listening to a great album. When I look at that album cover I'm reminded of my father and I. I see myself shaking his hand in a final salutation as he was wasting away from a brain tumor and I was trying to enjoy every moment by his side. With every day that passes, it's the little things that I want to share with you that make me think "dad, I wish you were here". RIP.
My older brother (16 yrs older) asked me what I wanted for my 15th birthday. I said the new George Carlin album. Later when I opened the package this album was what I got. He said, Dad would have killed me if I got you Carlin. To this day this is one of my favorite albums ever.
For all this album was made by four rather reserved, middle class Englishmen (well, three rather reserved, middle class Englishmen and Roger Waters), the depth of emotion is astonishing. The sadness, the regret, the melancholy, and the anger are almost overwhelming. A once in a universe offer was this lot.
For all this album was made by four rather reserved, middle class Englishmen (well, three rather reserved, middle class Englishmen and Roger Waters)..........that gave me the first laugh of the day
@@someoneout-there2165 Many people out there with actual technical knowledge about music hate them, including myself! They are just an overrated band made to appeal to dumb drug-addicted teenagers and oldies.
The 1st time I listened to Pink Floyd was in 1973. My big brother and I were over 3 miles deep into the Adirondack mountains in an area known as Perkin's Clearing. We were watching the lunar eclipse when Bill said he had just the cassette for this occasion. He popped his Dark Side of the Moon tape in and I was hooked. For my 4 kids "1st concert" I took them to see Pink Floyd iin Dallas, Tx.
Wow, that's so cool, your kids were really fortunate for that. When was the concert? It's quite surprising to hear that it was in Texas. (Sorry if that statement sounds rude).
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Scott Page” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 200 shows I’ve seen. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
I enjoy reading all these comments while I listen along. I love to hear everyone’s experience with the band. They are timeless. My mother passed her love for them to me. And I hope my son will one day love them as much as I do. 🔥🌊
I opened the box of gift my grown up children gave me, it was a big frame of Shine on You Crazy Diamond lyrics - sitting down, I bowed my heads, to hide tears falling involuntarily, everybody was quiet, there was silence. This song is for me, my BONJOUR TRISTEESE!
TRACK LIST: 00:00 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V 13:31 - Welcome to the Machine 21:03 - Have a Cigar 26:12 - Wish You Were Here 31:46 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI-IX
It had been so long since I listened to this album, I had forgotten how the song Wish You Were Here actually started. As soon as the guitar intro played, I burst into tears. We all know that riff and what it means. It kicked my freeking ass.
I think it's amazing how just with one click on youtube we can appreciate this fabulous master piece, ans people in the 70s, 80s had to get money for many time to buy the album... We gotta be grateful with internet 🙏
The internet has ruined humanity . When i was a kid i would be humbly waiting to be able to save ip for an album or a single and literally travel to the record store listening to new albums and new tracks with headphones in a booth . The interaction with himans has been taken away. Youd see your mates on a saturday in town or in the city. Wish i wasnt here wish i was there 😪 wish the world hadnt changed where has all the good times gone wish you where here .
This album is "dedicated to" or "inspired by" Syd Barrett. Tracks like "Wish you were here" and "Shine on you crazy diamond" are about Syd. He was very much still alive when it came out. It was a massive seller worldwide. Perhaps if they wanted to do something meaningful for their old bandmate and founder, they could have paid him some of the royalties. But that would've cost money, so of course they couldn't do that. They just wrote songs about, and made a lot of money off him.
@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw He did gain a substantial amount of royalties, even after he cut contact with the band. According to wikipedia: "In 1978, when Barrett's money ran out, he moved back to Cambridge to live with his mother. He returned to live in London for a few weeks in 1982, but soon returned to Cambridge permanently. Barrett walked the 50 miles (80 km) from London to Cambridge.[138] Until his death, he received royalties from his work with Pink Floyd; Gilmour said, "I made sure the money got to him."[139] In 1996, Barrett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Pink Floyd. He did not attend the ceremony.[140]" and that he gained enough money to leave to his siblings aproximatelly 1.7 million pounds
I know David Gilmour is often regarded as the overlooked hero, but for me, the real overlooked hero of Pink Floyd is Rick Wright, he's not the flashiest keyboardist, but his ability to spin textures and set the mood with his understated style is really what makes Pink Floyd so special. As much as I love Rick Wakeman or any other keyboardist typical of the progressive rock style, imagine that in Pink Floyd; it would have just ruined the essential feeling of the music.
Thank you. The other blokes told me in no uncertain terms in 1979, that going forward, they devoutly wished for me to be anywhere but "here," whenever "here" is place wherein any or all of them are present. There were a couple of exceptions throughout the ensuing years, of course. Currently, I'm happy to simply be floating above the dark side of the moon. Syd's here as well lighting things up a but by shining like a diamond and he sends his regards.
¿ALGUIEN ESCUCHANDO ESTA OBRA MAESTRA DE LA MÚSICA EN 2024? LLEVO CASI 50 AÑOS ESCUCHÁNDO ESTA OBRA SINFÓNICA. SIEMPRE 'VUELVO' A MI ADOLESCENCIA. CUANDO LA ESCUCHO. ES COMO UNA 'MÁQUINA DEL TIEMPO'. ❤
I’m 26 years old I started listening to this music when I was 15 16 really realized this is real music . You’ll never hear anything like this again ever what a time it must’ve been to be alive
0:00 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) Remember when you were young? You shone like the Sun Shine on, you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky Shine on, you crazy diamond You were caught in the crossfire Of childhood and stardom Blown on the steel breeze Come on, you target For faraway laughter Come on, you stranger You legend, you martyr, and shine You reached for the secret too soon You cried for the Moon Shine on, you crazy diamond Threatened by shadows at night And exposed in the light Shine on (shine on), you crazy diamond (you crazy diamond) Well, you wore out your welcome With random precision Rode on the steel breeze Come on, you raver You seer of visions Come on, you painter You piper, you prisoner, and shine 13:34 - Welcome to the Machine Welcome my son Welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been You've been in the pipeline Filling in time Provided with toys and scouting for boys You brought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school And you know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine Welcome my son Welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine 21:03 - Have a Cigar Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far You're gonna fly, you're never gonna die You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think Oh, by the way, which one's pink? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it riding the gravy train We're just knocked out, we heard about the sell-out You gotta get an album out, you owe it to the people We're so happy we can hardly count Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart? It's a hell of a start, it could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it riding the gravy train 26:11 - Wish You Were Here So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here 31:46 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX) Nobody knows where you are How near or how far Shine on, you crazy diamond Pile on many more layers And I'll be joining you there Shine on, you crazy diamond And we'll bask in the shadow Of yesterday's triumph And sail on the steel breeze Come on, you boy child, you winner and loser Come on, you miner for truth and delusion And shine
I'm 62, a young kid at that, I played the early 70's rock albums everyday after school. What a selection, but to be honest the Floyd & Zepp wore my needles out. I married late at 45,my 16 yo girl & 11 yo boy know all these songs and more, they have inherited my taste, God bless!
Этот альбом я считаю одним из лучших.Я называю вечно ты хилый в шутку.но больше нравится п.ф.1973 ,это взрыв в музыке, такого ещё никто до них не исполнял.
I am listening to this album today. Today was my grandmother's funeral. This was not her kind of music but it is my way to mourn a loss. It always helps to bring up emotions that easily get suppressed by our busy lives. I love this album but I love my Oma more. I miss you Oma. I wish you were here.
I did a cross country road trip, just me an my dog, in my truck from San Diego to New York to visit a sick and dying friend. A 4 day trip it was going to be. This is the only thing I listened to on the way up to see him. It helped me reflect on my friends life and how our friendship was. He didn't have much time left on this earth. I was there for two weeks. We had a blast together. Talked about everything. Cried together. Saying goodbye as I left because we both knew we'd never see each other again in this life was one of the hardest things I've ever done. But there was nothing left between us. Our slates were clean and we were content. On the way back, I had just crossed into California from Arizona and I got a call from his mother that he had passed away. I had to pull over and she said that he died in his sleep, at peace, with no pain. She told me that after I left that they talked and he was at peace with his life because he was always agitated with his life but my visit helped solidify the good guy he was and what he did. This album and this band was something we bonded over and it crystalized for me what is important in a human being, not what you see on the outside, but what is happening on the inside. I saw him clearly for who he was and never judged him for it. He respected that and his mom said that he just let go because he had nothing left to resolve because he made peace with it all. TH-cam must have read my mind because it presented this full album and it made me think of him. Brian, my brother, wherever you are I hope you're having a blast knowing all there is to know now. See you on the other side.
Wow! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful story! It brought tears to my eyes and made my heart happy at the same time. God Bless you and your heavenly friend - brother. 🙏🏼
Yes I do like the song. The everyone is the same and you simply can't escape that fate is Waters territory. He's very adept at diving deep into both the personal and collective psyche.
I listened to this, and 45 years have passed and nothing better has happened in music. This is Beethoven, this is Mozart, Tchaikovsky and all the other classics who make up our heritage: Today they are the best.
Sat one night, in a Chicago warehouse on a Friday night with fellow telephone-pole climbers and listened to this album with good friends over a week-ending beer. One of the great moments of my life.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of the most beautiful songs ever composed imo. Even calling it a "song" is an understatement. More like a piece of aural poetry
It hits as hard now as it did 48 years ago. “Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?” I worried all my young life that that’s exactly what I was going to do, because I was afraid. It turns out I was called into war anyway, and was compelled to go.
I bought this album the day it came out in 1975 when I was 16, just after I got my driver's license, while on my way home the day after a Day On The Green concert in Oakland with Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter and Lynyrd Skynyrd (unfortunately no Pink Floyd) with my brother and a friend. We were mesmerized as we drove up I5 to Redding in our 1957 Ford pickup with a broken speedometer, stoned, listening to this incredibly cool music. Then all of a sudden, we see a red light in the mirror - the CHP - holy shit! - I was speeding!! Oh no - what do we do with the baggy of weed??!! Then, a moment of pure genius - we pop the tape out of the tape player and stuff the baggy into the tape player. We were scared crapless but the CHP was none the wiser. I got a ticket (for going 60 in a 55!) and a fix it ticket for the speedometer. All of this after I told my dad we were going camping at Lake Shasta for the weekend. We stuck to that story and he was none the wiser. Since I was a juvenile we had to go to court. The judge let me off with a warning - and after we left the courthouse my dad said "the judge knew that was a chicken-shit ticket!" Little did he know...
This album triggers so many memories of me and my best mate who died from cancer several years back. We met each other when we were 10 years old in 1966 and he was more of a brother to me than my real brother, so many good times, miss him a lot.
bloody hell, this is good. it's really a double edged sword to have so much good music one can go decades and never hear this album. so glad i found it.
@@aes0p895 not if u ask those that have lived at least twice as long as you and were around in the 60 s n 70 s , when as you say bloody hell , this is good , album was 1 of many this band and others made back then that have Never been Matched . it is what it is .
31 years old. As a young man I woke up to this on saturday and Sunday mornings. my parents played this and many other amazing albums that I believe changed or made me who I am today.
@@fly1327 Yes when I first saw Pink in 1969 at the old Omni ! I am learning to play the guitar and some of the notes he hits is almost impossible ! iThank you David Gillmore & God Bless! David
And no autotune :) I was born in 1970 and grew up with floyd my whole life. Not until I discovered a certain substance in the 80s did these guys tap into my very SOUL!
I was 15 year old schoolboy in England when this album was released. Within a year, I'd worn out the LP. That's how much I loved this album. I've still got the poster and postcard that came with the album. The music still sounds as fresh and extraordinary as it did the day it was released. Pink Floyd were a tour de force!
Me three. About the postcard, that is... still have it. And I got to visit Mono Lake back in 1980. My faves were WTTM and HAC. I was seventeen in 1975 when I bought the LP at Smitty's... and could not figure out why the album was sold only shrink-wrapped in black. Did some folks think that a burning man on the cover was a bit too violent?
At 13 I wore out the Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti album lol (on my grandma's old record player). I needed something more upbeat but now that I am older I can't get enough of this. I also had this album at 11 years old (and saw them live when I was 25 or so). I almost put me to sleep. Great Musica! Very peaceful and introspective :)
Woahhhhh, that is a fantastic point!!!! In 2022 this album from 1975 is as relevant and popular as ever, but I can’t think of a single album nor song from 1928 that was relevant nor popular in 1975 🤯🤯🤯
Setting at my daughters house one day before her birthday. Tomorrow she will be 37. I have been cleaning her house while she’s at work. I will be back tomorrow to clean more. She is a great daughter! Love her ♥️. Today is March 13, 2023. Love to all!!
This reminds me of being a kid and waking up on Saturday mornings to the smell of breakfast and my dad JAMMING Pink Floyd while he cooked. Such good memories and good times.
fuck yeah. the first thing i can remember in my entire life is from when i was like 2 years old. my uncle was babysitting me, cooking amazing food in the kitchen, but i just remember staring out the window, watching the snow fall, listening to No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. really changed me as a person, right then.
You remind me of my dad cooking breakfast on the weekends... except I was the one jamming Pink Floyd! He would have been jamming Peggy Lee. Anyone remember her? Dad loved music & had a fantastic stereo system with great headphones. You could hear all the nuances in the music. Now I'm listening through tinny computer speakers! That's just a crime against Pink Floyd.
First time I heard this from start to finish was when I was looking through my uncle’s old vinyl collection. I put it on his old Technics record player that I recently had restored and had the most amazing hour of my life. Rest in Peace, uncle Cavan, I miss you more and more each day that goes by…
Awesome that today's generation is trying to slow this slide down a little bit at a time. The way the world and the way we are doing things now will be the end of all things we know a salon with it. Salutations and thank you for your kind words about a band before your time, keep it going and keep music is safe.
in the 70s, when I was living in a very small village in France, one of my neighbors, a Parisian boy with long hair who only came on weekends with his parents, one day put this record on the turntable of their house campaign ... I think I cried! I ordered it for Christmas! my parents only listened to Jacques Brel and classical music, they were very reluctant to offer it to me but I didn't want anything else!! I was so happy when at Christmas I discovered that it was under the tree, I recorded it on a cassette and I listened to it on loop, on loop .... on loop !! It was my exit door, my living space I don't think that the group Pink Floyd can imagine one day all those like me, isolated, who could dream on these pieces!!!
I started listening to this because I thought that I never heard it before and then realized that I knew the entire album. I guess I heard it over the years through hearing all of the songs separately. As always, Pink Floyd doesn’t disappoint.
The first Pink Floyd song I heard was Money from Dark Side. Although I liked the song, it didn't initially grab me. I heard the album at a friend's place, and then had to buy it myself. I really liked so many of the other songs. Then when Wish You Were Here came out, I was so hooked on Pink Floyd. I got older albums, and listened to them repeatedly. They are true musical geniuses. Love the way that over 8 minutes goes by in the initial half of Shine on You Crazy Diamond before any lyrics. I can't think of any other band who could do that. I read through the comments here, and can see I'm not the only one who has been hooked on Floyd for almost 50 years! Their music will live on!
The first PF music I heard, inadvertently, was the intro to "Time", which is what our local tv station used as a prelude to the nest day's weather forecast. My older brother, an accomplished guitarist himself, then introduced me to the wonders of their music.
Thanks to the car rides I went on with my dad, we listened to this. He passed away in February of 2023. I still cherish those memories I have with him.
The sax solo is amazing. When he uses one kind of sax and inbetween a note and breath, and without missing a beat, he swings away one and another comes into his hands from behind him. Amazing. All of these guys are genius. so unique.
Most just don’t want to put the effort in. Just like movies of today. Music and movies go hand in hand… the silver screen has gone black. Enjoy what we had.
The first time I heard Welcome to the Machine... I was 17 arriving to my parents house after a great night out with friends before leaving to college. It was 6am and as the sun was coming up, and I parked, this song came on... just sat there in awe, bliss, and simply relishing life.
00:00 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V 13:31 - Welcome to the Machine 21:03 - Have a Cigar 26:12 - Wish You Were Here 31:46 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI-IX
Putting this ultra classic album on the turntable for the first time 49 years ago, that introduction to Shine On gave me goose bumps. The combination of Rick Wright's beautiful keyboards and Dave Gilmours pristine guitar still gives me goose bumps. I mean, after Dark Side, this band were expected to repeat a successful formula. BUT, proving their true greatness, Floyd created a follow on album which is totally different to its predecessor - - just 5 tracks, but honed to perfection. SIMPLE GENIUS!
The best album ever in the world... During all this time... (I'm 55 years old) 1.09.2022 There has never been a better one in history! Roger - is the greatest musician!
I was 19, in the military and this drove me crazy back in 76. To this day I still say this is best heard in the car in the dark, someplace out and away from lights, other cars... Camping, in front of the fire or in the desert, dark.
I agree, the best way to listen to it is in the dark. It was how I heard it the very first time at the age of 17 and I still like to occasionally turn out the lights, lay on the floor with headphones and get lost in the music - and I'm now 60.
As an early PF fan I bought this album on the first day it was available in my local record shop in September 1975. I listened to it every day and I had to buy a new copy after a couple of years. Still listening to it today after almost 50 years. It's timeless. I have literally lived my life with PF's music and I hope they gonna play this on my funeral party and have a good time.
ASTOUNDING !!!!! This recording is best experienced through a good set of headphones & in total darkness.....It's been over 45 years & it still raises goosebumps!!! THANKS !!!!!
I listened to Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here for the first time tonight. I'm in the middle of grieving and this album has hit me so hard. It is beautiful.
After leaving the hospital saying goodbye to my grandfather, wish you were here played on the radio. A few months later, crazy diamond played as we left from saying goodbye to my grandmother. These songs and this band mean more to me than a lot of people understand but i'm glad you do.
I was at a pizza joint in Atlanta. They were playing the entire album. The only tracK I heard before was “Wish You Were Here.” The guy preparing the pizza looked at the expression on my face and he knew I would not be the same. That day I became a Pink Floyd fan!
Yup I feel that brother. Last time I saw my mom she was sleeping. I was about to make a 12 hour drug run (just weed but a LOT) It was like 5am and I was looking for something and I always used to wake her up and stress her out. For some reason I didn't that day, didn't want to stress her out for once. Came back and she was gone. Wish you were here mom ❤️...p.s. Betsey's a 40 year old man
This was my young kid headphones music that changed how I felt about music and how I saw reality... I'm an old man now...and it still teaches me so many things.
Bro, I tripped to this album so hard! Like full-on trance! My consciousness left my body and completely forgot I'm human. I ended up inside the clouds of jupiter or something.
49 years later, time to write the 3.499s comment. I remember when I bought the record. It was my second one after buying "Gone to earth" from BJH with my father. He now is eightyeight years old and gets care from my mother. And what has become of me? So, I became grandpa in 2022 and love my family. Time to say: Thank you very much!
lol i was just thinking to myself how demoralizing this album must have been to literally every musician to come after. thankfully people kept on, as futile as it may be.
Когда я только начинал увлекаться рок-музыкой (тогда я слушал Joy Division, The Doors), мой отчим посоветовал послушать мне Pink Floyd. «Wish you were here» - мой первый, и до сих пор любимый не только их, но и за все время альбом. Одноименная песня до сих пор пробирает меня до мурашек. Я безумно фанател от них, когда встретил Её. Она на долгое время взяла у меня мерч этой группы и вернула только тогда, когда мы с ней уже перестали быть вместе. Футболку она вернула (цвет полностью пропал, но я ее все равно носил почти каждый день на протяжении пары лет, пока она полностью не испортилась), а сама улетела за 10 тысяч километров от меня. Wish you were here, my dear.

I'm not religious. But lovely heart-felt words.
I'm SURE when you're listening to this; he's sitting right next to you, because after all, there's no where else in the entire universe he would rather be.
He most definitely is. 🙏💕❤
What's your favorite record?

@@flowerchic79 same, same 😉
On every full length album on TH-cam there's always that 1 person who comes in and puts the tracks with their time stamps... You guys are my heroes
The best Pink Floyd 's album ever.
We lost my oldest son to an armed robber back in 2006. He was a brilliant musician and amazing guitar player, and every time I hear Wish You Were Here, I think of him and truly wish he was here.
Such a tragedy. My condolences
nice...
Know that he is with you.
He's always here.
My condolences man. Same story here with my cousin, who was more of a brother to me. And he actually loved this album.. what can I say. I learned one lesson. Let it go and live the way he would have been proud for you. Much love
I never get tired of hearing it. I'm 71.
Rock on!
❤ 🙏👍👍👍👍
😀
Here Here, born in 71' & been in love with Pink Floyd since 75' . Aunts and uncles having a party, the first time I heard dark side of the moon and introduced to one of our relatives..
Mary Jane .
Contact of course.
R.I.P Richard Wright
Sitting in my truck in the Hamptons, got my headphones on, watching the waves, they seem to be moving in time to the music, it's great to be alive, Wish You Were Here.
I wish I were there, you lucky person :-))
Tom, same name: 11 April 2022. Traveled from Florida to Maine and spent a year. Jumped in my J eep and drove to ND. Got here 6 days ago maybe 8: sitting here in a new apartment: shine on you crazy diamond! We all have our story 🤙
Synchronicity bro!
I know from having that same kind of experience how you feel... thanks !
Never gets old... Whenever we feel a need to escape it all, it never fails does it?
If you skip all the way to the end, and restarts the video, the ads disappear. You're welcome.
Edit- Thanks for all the likes and comments all! Also do not update TH-cam if this hack works for you. Once you update, it's over.
You are a hero
You!!!!!
Master...
🙌🧎
😉 Love your guts! 🍻👌🤙
@@eduardonascentes cccxl I'm
Trying it now
Pure musical genius. As with most Floyd albums, this is not a collection of songs, but a complete work of art that must be experienced in its entirety from beginning to end, with no interruptions.
hell yeah
I'm pretty sure when they made this album, it was made for commercials. I got a skin-whitening creme, a canned tuna, a money wiring service and vitamin, all during songs - not between - just as Pink Floyd intended.
Unfortunately this upload to TH-cam has commercials😢
@@mikeostrander5406 Good point. Sigh...
Premium is worth it, guys. No f***ING commercials!!!!!
Been listening to this album since I was 11. I am now 59 and it is still magic to listen to...
Damn you old,shine on you crazy diamond. I'm just joking I'm 52.
Me too, 63 now, a timeless classic, like all their work.
me too, i have 59 years old !!!!
Rock on
Pink Floyd will still be heard when we're all dead.
As a young Scotsman,29 years old, I was living in a town called Eilat, Sinai Desert, The Red Sea, Israel, and lived just outside town as I worked in a Hotel there, anyways there was a Cafe on the Beach and the owner loved the Pink Floyd though he was a young Arab and we smoked a lot of Lebanese Hashish together and sometimes I would go out into the warm water, float on my back, very stoned, and watch the shooting Stars across the Desert sky while he played this Album, LOUDLY, and tears would flood my face as this sound would totally engulf my entire being in pure fucking ecstasy as I floated in what seemed like space, and even now as I hear it the emotion fills me up... Such days indeed..
Now Im 73 wondering where the time went...
@@thefngrinch : Im unsure what you mean by that statement.
Besides working and living what originally brought you to another country? Good story mate.
@@Liefvikerson : Life experience, I left my home at 17 and travelled the World, now Im 73 and settled in South East Asia. I only ever wanted to visit every country in the entire world.. Ive been in 50 of them.
Visual poetry. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kinda makes you think ' Then one day you find 10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun...'
As amazing as "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall" are, this is still my favorite album.
As amazing yet so different.
Grazie ar caxx
A momentary lapse in reason is a great album also.
Meddle
@@thisisbeyondajoke6748 Meddle is their most underrated album for sure. It comes very close to being just as good as the big four. Division Bell is also completely amazing
Richard Wright's finest work on keyboards.
A Chef-d'oeuvre!
His little tribute to Syd at the very end of the album is so touching, a wee medley of "See Emily Play" and "Remember a Day", the first time I realised it kind of made me well up a bit, total genius musicianship!.
This is by far one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
20 years old when 1st listened 2 this album. I new then my life was gonna be mad.i lost both my parents i was 9...this album means a lot.😊❤😢 im 55 though now...Still here...😊❤😢
I was born in Pakistan and lived there for 32 years then moved to USA now I am 64 years old still I remembered Pink Floyd song’s I think it’s the greatest band of all time , all the members were Phenomenal
Listening to this crying. I feel like I can't breathe. Today, I am so overwhelmed with loss, I just need to let it out. I so love this album, even when it hurts.
❤hope you are ok x
@Jacqui Knight I am 🙂 Appreciate your comment
...especially when it hurts. particularly then...
@Belac Dayz Yes. For me, in a twisted sort of way, the hurt is a physical presence of them still here with me. It helps.
@@Kiwinadian i know very much what you mean. all you touch, and all you see......
It’s 5:30am on a Sunday, I’m on my roof looking at the city skyline. The air is crisp and clear (first clear morning since the rain we’ve had in San Diego) wish you were here
Same with me but a very rainy and stormy day in Wisconsin with days and days of rain
It's easy to get emotional when you've had too much to drink and you're listening to a great album. When I look at that album cover I'm reminded of my father and I. I see myself shaking his hand in a final salutation as he was wasting away from a brain tumor and I was trying to enjoy every moment by his side. With every day that passes, it's the little things that I want to share with you that make me think "dad, I wish you were here". RIP.
i’m sorry for your loss.
@@katietaylor-ej2id
Aconteceu o mesmo comigo amigo. Fique em paz.
Me too
Well, who cares?
47 years ago this was an amazing album.. 47 years later this album is STILL an amazing album !
masterpiece
47 years later, this album is EVEN MORE amazing! Years do not affect diamonds!
47 years ago this was an amazing album among many great albums released,.
And it will be still in 47 years. Shine on!
Art is timeless.
This album always makes me think of my brother, who died before I was born. Shine on Bro.
God blase your brother , pease
It does for my mother, dad and brother.
You can connect to your brother by thought 🙏
Yeah u can like my grandpa just think about him in your head he will always be next to you God bless you
At a point in life everyone dies
My older brother (16 yrs older) asked me what I wanted for my 15th birthday. I said the new George Carlin album. Later when I opened the package this album was what I got. He said, Dad would have killed me if I got you Carlin. To this day this is one of my favorite albums ever.
Haha amazing!!
I loved George Carlin..
Think Small.
Wow cool story ❤😊
For all this album was made by four rather reserved, middle class Englishmen (well, three rather reserved, middle class Englishmen and Roger Waters), the depth of emotion is astonishing. The sadness, the regret, the melancholy, and the anger are almost overwhelming. A once in a universe offer was this lot.
The return of the repressed!
For all this album was made by four rather reserved, middle class Englishmen (well, three rather reserved, middle class Englishmen and Roger Waters)..........that gave me the first laugh of the day
I always think of Welcome to the Machine as a "Middle Class protest song".
This is a timeless piece of music. Pink Floyd is so incredible. I think everybody on the planet must love this band.
ceptn Johnny Rotten ,laddie .
Yeah, I don't think I've ever heard a person say they hated Pink Floyd. I think they are nearly universally loved.
@@someoneout-there2165 Many people out there with actual technical knowledge about music hate them, including myself!
They are just an overrated band made to appeal to dumb drug-addicted teenagers and oldies.
@@shashwatdhaon98Womp womp
Totally agree that anyone with an appreciation for real music. That eliminates the pop and obviously the hiphop/rap world. God give me stength.
They managed to record and release four masterpieces in a period of just over six years.
Greatest run in history of music....
They had a little help, but yes, masterpiece.
That was the time when creativity was at its finest
Spot on mate ❤😊
The 1st time I listened to Pink Floyd was in 1973. My big brother and I were over 3 miles deep into the Adirondack mountains in an area known as Perkin's Clearing. We were watching the lunar eclipse when Bill said he had just the cassette for this occasion. He popped his Dark Side of the Moon tape in and I was hooked. For my 4 kids "1st concert" I took them to see Pink Floyd iin Dallas, Tx.
You're dope AF 😎
Wow, that's so cool, your kids were really fortunate for that. When was the concert? It's quite surprising to hear that it was in Texas. (Sorry if that statement sounds rude).
SPECIAL: I would have never stopped thanking my brother for that SPECIAL GIFT. Because that's what it was. ❤
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Scott Page” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 200 shows I’ve seen.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
"Just a little bit of heaven, 94.7 -KMET!" That's a good story. Here's to having good wives in our lives🍻
Wow 😅
Wow you are so lucky to have met David Gilmour in person ❤
@AliasMark69 - Can't imagine, but think what orators they are with a boundless stage presence. Thanks for sharing your story.
Best Pink Floyd album in my opinion, every song seems to just get better and better with every listen. A truly groundbreaking record for music history
True
I agree... Just a tad better than dark side.
Yeah I prefer this over Dark Side
Timeless
My three favourites are this, Darkside and Animals...
I enjoy reading all these comments while I listen along. I love to hear everyone’s experience with the band. They are timeless. My mother passed her love for them to me. And I hope my son will one day love them as much as I do. 🔥🌊
Me too i alway do it
Exactly what I'm thinking as I'm listening to the intro and scrolling!
Beautifully said.❤ Thank you
A masterpiece. Wish You Were Here Syd Barrett, Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Pink Floyd Is the reason we all are here.
No gathering of humans could ever again create the magic these gentlemen have given us. SHINE ON!
Oh yes they could and were about to....all while marching to the legendary epic historical beats
They wrote the enchiridion of “ a rock experience album” and how
Lyrics and tune, instrument, emotion
Drama, and then TEARS!
I opened the box of gift my grown up children gave me, it was a big frame of
Shine on You Crazy Diamond lyrics -
sitting down, I bowed my heads, to hide tears falling involuntarily, everybody was quiet, there was silence. This song is for me,
my BONJOUR TRISTEESE!
Oh no...they simply prepared us for Taylor Swift. 😏

Детство моё,коасс
You're doing god's work, my friend. Much appreciated!
It had been so long since I listened to this album, I had forgotten how the song Wish You Were Here actually started. As soon as the guitar intro played, I burst into tears. We all know that riff and what it means. It kicked my freeking ass.
I cry every time I hear it, for friends and loves♥️
I think it's amazing how just with one click on youtube we can appreciate this fabulous master piece, ans people in the 70s, 80s had to get money for many time to buy the album... We gotta be grateful with internet 🙏
until it gets taken down for copyright infringement :/
The internet has ruined humanity . When i was a kid i would be humbly waiting to be able to save ip for an album or a single and literally travel to the record store listening to new albums and new tracks with headphones in a booth . The interaction with himans has been taken away. Youd see your mates on a saturday in town or in the city. Wish i wasnt here wish i was there 😪 wish the world hadnt changed where has all the good times gone wish you where here .
I ❤ my premium account!! No commercials!
so true
@@tristancraven3685You're so right.
I wouldn't be surprised if is THE MARK OF BEAST.
Fits the bill...
Rest in peace Sid Barrett. Wish you were here....
This album is "dedicated to" or "inspired by" Syd Barrett. Tracks like "Wish you were here" and "Shine on you crazy diamond" are about Syd. He was very much still alive when it came out. It was a massive seller worldwide.
Perhaps if they wanted to do something meaningful for their old bandmate and founder, they could have paid him some of the royalties. But that would've cost money, so of course they couldn't do that.
They just wrote songs about, and made a lot of money off him.
@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw He did gain a substantial amount of royalties, even after he cut contact with the band. According to wikipedia: "In 1978, when Barrett's money ran out, he moved back to Cambridge to live with his mother. He returned to live in London for a few weeks in 1982, but soon returned to Cambridge permanently. Barrett walked the 50 miles (80 km) from London to Cambridge.[138] Until his death, he received royalties from his work with Pink Floyd; Gilmour said, "I made sure the money got to him."[139] In 1996, Barrett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Pink Floyd. He did not attend the ceremony.[140]" and that he gained enough money to leave to his siblings aproximatelly 1.7 million pounds
@Noob-gb6bn
Well that was very nice of them to give him HIS money, but not a penny extra. By the time he died £ 1.7 million really wasn't that much.
@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw why would they give an extra penny?
@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gwumm… but he actually did get money. A lot of it.
I know David Gilmour is often regarded as the overlooked hero, but for me, the real overlooked hero of Pink Floyd is Rick Wright, he's not the flashiest keyboardist, but his ability to spin textures and set the mood with his understated style is really what makes Pink Floyd so special. As much as I love Rick Wakeman or any other keyboardist typical of the progressive rock style, imagine that in Pink Floyd; it would have just ruined the essential feeling of the music.
Thank you. The other blokes told me in no uncertain terms in 1979, that going forward, they devoutly wished for me to be anywhere but "here," whenever "here" is place wherein any or all of them are present. There were a couple of exceptions throughout the ensuing years, of course. Currently, I'm happy to simply be floating above the dark side of the moon. Syd's here as well lighting things up a but by shining like a diamond and he sends his regards.
I absolutely love them both. Amazing! 👍👍👍✌️
@@valeriesedmack2390 Thank you. Greetings from the Dark Side of The Moon. 😁
Sometimes less is more. Miles said the gaps between the notes are just as important...

SIEMPRE 'VUELVO' A MI ADOLESCENCIA. CUANDO LA ESCUCHO.
ES COMO UNA 'MÁQUINA DEL TIEMPO'. ❤
É vero.
Casi 50 llevo yo,y no deja d ponerme la piel d gallina
Always.
Yes. 68 years old now. Shoulder joint replacement yesterday. Listening at 2:40am. Soothing and relaxing. Peace.
@trankilus 5191
I’m 26 years old I started listening to this music when I was 15 16 really realized this is real music . You’ll never hear anything like this again ever what a time it must’ve been to be alive
Я тоже начала слушать жту музыку, когда мне было 15. Сейчас мне 62, и я продолжаю слушать...
This music is timeless, no matter when you happen to hear it... 😊
I got my kids listening from the start. At 6 years old they were all singing pigs (three different ones.)
This album takes you to places you never knew you wanted to go, timeless!!
Absolutely agree. Feeling somewhere forget anything else.👍🏽
I did shrooms and they kicked in just as the intro on the "marooned" track started,I was sent to a different place :D
Right, every time I listen, I go somewhere different, beautiful.
Bs I took me exactly where I needed to go !
Most definitely an Experience!
Pink Floyd is a milestone of modern music ! Their music will gain the same significance like Beethoven, Mozart and Bach!
You mean after we are all dead? I think Pink Floyd's significance is apparent right now! Their music is timeless.
@@samuela.bernstein924 so Shine On You Crazy Diamond or Atom Heart Mother is the longest song they're ever made??????
Mayve after 150 years.
Shine on you crazy diamond is the best piece of music ever made. Period.
Musical preferences aside, I can't believe you said that
0:00 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)
Remember when you were young?
You shone like the Sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target
For faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger
You legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the Moon
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on (shine on), you crazy diamond (you crazy diamond)
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver
You seer of visions
Come on, you painter
You piper, you prisoner, and shine
13:34 - Welcome to the Machine
Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline
Filling in time
Provided with toys and scouting for boys
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
21:03 - Have a Cigar
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far
You're gonna fly, you're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it riding the gravy train
We're just knocked out, we heard about the sell-out
You gotta get an album out, you owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start, it could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it riding the gravy train
26:11 - Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
31:46 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI-IX)
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joining you there
Shine on, you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
And sail on the steel breeze
Come on, you boy child, you winner and loser
Come on, you miner for truth and delusion
And shine
Thank you so much for posting the lyrics!
Awesome, thanks
The lyrics are haunting 😢
My mom,"old school"born in 1923,loved this album.Said music had never made her feel it,til this.Awesome Mom,what a connection.
Nice one❤
As a kid I grew up to every Pink Floyd album still the best Rock band ive ever heard
I'm 62, a young kid at that, I played the early 70's rock albums everyday after school. What a selection, but to be honest the Floyd & Zepp wore my needles out. I married late at 45,my 16 yo girl & 11 yo boy know all these songs and more, they have inherited my taste, God bless!
Iam a late dad too. My 8 and 9 year olds had omelets and Floyd for breakfast today.
🤘🏼😉
Этот альбом я считаю одним из лучших.Я называю вечно ты хилый в шутку.но больше нравится п.ф.1973 ,это взрыв в музыке, такого ещё никто до них не исполнял.
My favourite album since 1975, Can't believe it's nearly 50 years.
Like the first time, every time. Still so fresh.
😀
Really is that good... get it!!!
I am listening to this album today. Today was my grandmother's funeral. This was not her kind of music but it is my way to mourn a loss. It always helps to bring up emotions that easily get suppressed by our busy lives. I love this album but I love my Oma more. I miss you Oma. I wish you were here.
It's gonna take time...hang in there.
❤️
and, maybe she is wishing you were here...( she is in a good place) BUT not YET.. SHINE ON... I want this played at MY funeral.
What a majestic triggering of sweet memories of one who's just crossed over.
so sorry for you loss
how do people binge watch tv shows but lack the attention span to appreciate Pink Floyd, daily ?
I did a cross country road trip, just me an my dog, in my truck from San Diego to New York to visit a sick and dying friend. A 4 day trip it was going to be. This is the only thing I listened to on the way up to see him. It helped me reflect on my friends life and how our friendship was. He didn't have much time left on this earth. I was there for two weeks. We had a blast together. Talked about everything. Cried together. Saying goodbye as I left because we both knew we'd never see each other again in this life was one of the hardest things I've ever done. But there was nothing left between us. Our slates were clean and we were content.
On the way back, I had just crossed into California from Arizona and I got a call from his mother that he had passed away. I had to pull over and she said that he died in his sleep, at peace, with no pain. She told me that after I left that they talked and he was at peace with his life because he was always agitated with his life but my visit helped solidify the good guy he was and what he did. This album and this band was something we bonded over and it crystalized for me what is important in a human being, not what you see on the outside, but what is happening on the inside. I saw him clearly for who he was and never judged him for it. He respected that and his mom said that he just let go because he had nothing left to resolve because he made peace with it all.
TH-cam must have read my mind because it presented this full album and it made me think of him. Brian, my brother, wherever you are I hope you're having a blast knowing all there is to know now. See you on the other side.
i ain’t readin allat😂😂😂
Wow! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful story! It brought tears to my eyes and made my heart happy at the same time. God Bless you and your heavenly friend - brother. 🙏🏼
I've been listening to this album and this album only for the past 8 weeks. It's like I'm addicted to it. Best Pink Floyd album for me.
Meddle
I’ve been switching from The Wall (a time or 5), DSOTM, but I’m on my third listen in a row of this. Pink Floyd has a massive hold on me right now
One of the best albums ever recorded. The artistry and complexity of sound are phenomenal.
do you like the song, wellcome to machine? i dont
I agree. My favorite album of any genre. Only 41 and have always loved this album.
Yes I do like the song. The everyone is the same and you simply can't escape that fate is Waters territory. He's very adept at diving deep into both the personal and collective psyche.
Ok all right...'
Точно ,лучший альбом
I listened to this, and 45 years have passed and nothing better has happened in music. This is Beethoven, this is Mozart, Tchaikovsky and all the other classics who make up our heritage: Today they are the best.
Ok boomer
Hahahaha
What about 50 cent? And pegging?
@@drts6955 50 cent comes 2 decades after pink floyd, pink floyd in total sold more than 200 million copies worldwide and more than 300 million units
I agree this is classical
Sat one night, in a Chicago warehouse on a Friday night with fellow telephone-pole climbers and listened to this album with good friends over a week-ending beer. One of the great moments of my life.
I’ll never ever buy anything advertised while listening to a Pink Floyd album.
Oh I agree completely! They just turn me off interrupting such a fantastic album!
One of the most classic albums ever to be recorded.....
ვ
Indeed. And the remaining classic albums, also happened to be recorded by Pink Floyd.
I recommend :th-cam.com/video/CfJ8QX24eaY/w-d-xo.html
I recently bought a turntable so I could listen to this on vinyl in the dark
Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of the most beautiful songs ever composed imo. Even calling it a "song" is an understatement. More like a piece of aural poetry
inscribed through suffering.
Glad to have Pink Floyd & all the good old bands in my lifetime 🔈🔉🔊🇺🇸🇬🇧
It hits as hard now as it did 48 years ago.
“Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?”
I worried all my young life that that’s exactly what I was going to do, because I was afraid.
It turns out I was called into war anyway, and was compelled to go.
"Did you exchange the walk on part of your wall for a lead role in a cage..."
@@kawekalee9737 @GT380man is correct. It’s a “walk-on part in the war”
My favorite line of the whole album.
I bought this album the day it came out in 1975 when I was 16, just after I got my driver's license, while on my way home the day after a Day On The Green concert in Oakland with Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter and Lynyrd Skynyrd (unfortunately no Pink Floyd) with my brother and a friend. We were mesmerized as we drove up I5 to Redding in our 1957 Ford pickup with a broken speedometer, stoned, listening to this incredibly cool music. Then all of a sudden, we see a red light in the mirror - the CHP - holy shit! - I was speeding!! Oh no - what do we do with the baggy of weed??!! Then, a moment of pure genius - we pop the tape out of the tape player and stuff the baggy into the tape player. We were scared crapless but the CHP was none the wiser. I got a ticket (for going 60 in a 55!) and a fix it ticket for the speedometer. All of this after I told my dad we were going camping at Lake Shasta for the weekend. We stuck to that story and he was none the wiser. Since I was a juvenile we had to go to court. The judge let me off with a warning - and after we left the courthouse my dad said "the judge knew that was a chicken-shit ticket!" Little did he know...
There will NEVER be another PINK FLOYD ever again...GREATEST band of ALL TIME!
Absolutely right the greatest band of all time.
The best ever gets into your head makes you feel young again lay back and injoy it
Discovered this album at 17. Sharing it with my son now who is 17.
I remember when I was young. Now I’m 63 and still shinning come stop me!
Nice one mate ❤😊
This album triggers so many memories of me and my best mate who died from cancer several years back. We met each other when we were 10 years old in 1966 and he was more of a brother to me than my real brother, so many good times, miss him a lot.
Sorry for your loss. Nice to have memories of a great friend. You know where to find him now. 🙏🏻
similar story here my friend x
I feel..your pain
Yeah it's a trigger album...
I still get chills every time, and tear up this album touches me so deeply.
What did you dream..?
It's all right ,.
- we told you what to dream.
That made me cry as a young man.
me too
Me too.love last segment ❤😊
bloody hell, this is good. it's really a double edged sword to have so much good music one can go decades and never hear this album. so glad i found it.
cool so now u can drop 4or 5 hip hop ,5 rappers ,5 pop punk bands u were forced feed from society . and start supporting good music .
@@peterbetts858 I already do support good music, and that includes hip hop and all the others.
@@aes0p895 not if u ask those that have lived at least twice as long as you and were around in the 60 s n 70 s , when as you say bloody hell , this is good , album was 1 of many this band and others made back then that have Never been Matched . it is what it is .
@@peterbetts858 Christ sake, man. Mind your own business and maybe expand your horizons.
Фантастика, мой любимый и лучший альбом группы!
Не согласна, этот альбом может быть хорошим но лучший альбом Рink Floyd это- The Piper at the Gates of dawn, пока Сид был с ними
Спасибо вам за ваше мнение, как говорят на вкус и цвет... Соглашусь что с Сидом всё начиналось и после его ухода они стали другие.@@super_bestie
согласен, что лучший!
31 years old. As a young man I woke up to this on saturday and Sunday mornings. my parents played this and many other amazing albums that I believe changed or made me who I am today.
Hi I recommend an indie song & video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

Gilmour is too often overlooked as a truly great guitarist. Amazing work on this record!
Agree, and have since the 70's!
@@fly1327 Yes when I first saw Pink in 1969 at the old Omni ! I am learning to play the guitar and some of the notes he hits is almost impossible ! iThank you David Gillmore & God Bless!

He had a lovely tone, for sure.
every single second is a masterpiece. it's out of this world. words like "amazing, awesome" etc cannot describe the greatness of this album.
And no autotune :) I was born in 1970 and grew up with floyd my whole life. Not until I discovered a certain substance in the 80s did these guys tap into my very SOUL!

Pink Floyd should be in the dictionary as one of the meanings of TIMELESS👌👌👍👍
I was 15 year old schoolboy in England when this album was released. Within a year, I'd worn out the LP. That's how much I loved this album. I've still got the poster and postcard that came with the album. The music still sounds as fresh and extraordinary as it did the day it was released. Pink Floyd were a tour de force!
Me too. 15. 1000 times I heard it.my favourite. Magic.
I recommend :th-cam.com/video/CfJ8QX24eaY/w-d-xo.html
Me three. About the postcard, that is... still have it. And I got to visit Mono Lake back in 1980. My faves were WTTM and HAC. I was seventeen in 1975 when I bought the LP at Smitty's... and could not figure out why the album was sold only shrink-wrapped in black. Did some folks think that a burning man on the cover was a bit too violent?
At 13 I wore out the Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti album lol (on my grandma's old record player). I needed something more upbeat but now that I am older I can't get enough of this. I also had this album at 11 years old (and saw them live when I was 25 or so). I almost put me to sleep. Great Musica! Very peaceful and introspective :)
Me 4
I was 20 when this came out, and I can tell you this....we were not listening to any 47 year old music then.
Woahhhhh, that is a fantastic point!!!! In 2022 this album from 1975 is as relevant and popular as ever, but I can’t think of a single album nor song from 1928 that was relevant nor popular in 1975 🤯🤯🤯
Setting at my daughters house one day before her birthday. Tomorrow she will be 37. I have been cleaning her house while she’s at work. I will be back tomorrow to clean more. She is a great daughter! Love her ♥️. Today is March 13, 2023. Love to all!!
This reminds me of being a kid and waking up on Saturday mornings to the smell of breakfast and my dad JAMMING Pink Floyd while he cooked. Such good memories and good times.
fuck yeah. the first thing i can remember in my entire life is from when i was like 2 years old. my uncle was babysitting me, cooking amazing food in the kitchen, but i just remember staring out the window, watching the snow fall, listening to No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. really changed me as a person, right then.
Me too. Pancakes and bong rips in the garage. Right on. Dont lose those memories bro. Its all we got left now.
I love your dad!
You remind me of my dad cooking breakfast on the weekends... except I was the one jamming Pink Floyd! He would have been jamming Peggy Lee. Anyone remember her?
Dad loved music & had a fantastic stereo system with great headphones. You could hear all the nuances in the music. Now I'm listening through tinny computer speakers! That's just a crime against Pink Floyd.
I remember my dad jamming this in his garage and the smell of Reefer in the air!!!!!!!
First time I heard this from start to finish was when I was looking through my uncle’s old vinyl collection. I put it on his old Technics record player that I recently had restored and had the most amazing hour of my life. Rest in Peace, uncle Cavan, I miss you more and more each day that goes by…
im sure he's shining crazy like a diamond out there..
Brought a tear to my eyes
Gd stuff bro
Awesome that today's generation is trying to slow this slide down a little bit at a time. The way the world and the way we are doing things now will be the end of all things we know a salon with it. Salutations and thank you for your kind words about a band before your time, keep it going and keep music is safe.
He will always shine brightly in your heart because you can share that gift he has given you.
God Bless
in the 70s, when I was living in a very small village in France, one of my neighbors, a Parisian boy with long hair who only came on weekends with his parents, one day put this record on the turntable of their house campaign ... I think I cried!
I ordered it for Christmas! my parents only listened to Jacques Brel and classical music, they were very reluctant to offer it to me but I didn't want anything else!!
I was so happy when at Christmas I discovered that it was under the tree, I recorded it on a cassette and I listened to it on loop, on loop .... on loop !!
It was my exit door, my living space
I don't think that the group Pink Floyd can imagine one day all those like me, isolated, who could dream on these pieces!!!
I started listening to this because I thought that I never heard it before and then realized that I knew the entire album. I guess I heard it over the years through hearing all of the songs separately. As always, Pink Floyd doesn’t disappoint.
The first Pink Floyd song I heard was Money from Dark Side. Although I liked the song, it didn't initially grab me. I heard the album at a friend's place, and then had to buy it myself. I really liked so many of the other songs. Then when Wish You Were Here came out, I was so hooked on Pink Floyd. I got older albums, and listened to them repeatedly. They are true musical geniuses. Love the way that over 8 minutes goes by in the initial half of Shine on You Crazy Diamond before any lyrics. I can't think of any other band who could do that. I read through the comments here, and can see I'm not the only one who has been hooked on Floyd for almost 50 years! Their music will live on!
The first PF music I heard, inadvertently, was the intro to "Time", which is what our local tv station used as a prelude to the nest day's weather forecast. My older brother, an accomplished guitarist himself, then introduced me to the wonders of their music.

The sax solo is amazing. When he uses one kind of sax and inbetween a note and breath, and without missing a beat, he swings away one and another comes into his hands from behind him. Amazing. All of these guys are genius. so unique.
Absolut !!!*** ... Music from the Universum
Sax of Dick Parry
Brilliant. A masterpiece that was intended to be listened to from start to finish. They don't make music like this anymore
they never did
They still do, according to millenials.
Most just don’t want to put the effort in. Just like movies of today. Music and movies go hand in hand… the silver screen has gone black. Enjoy what we had.
The first time I heard Welcome to the Machine... I was 17 arriving to my parents house after a great night out with friends before leaving to college. It was 6am and as the sun was coming up, and I parked, this song came on... just sat there in awe, bliss, and simply relishing life.
Have similar memories and experience 🎉

Thank you 😊
Too many people love this album and just listen to it in its entirety. That's why it's relatively hard to find this comment 😅
Putting this ultra classic album on the turntable for the first time 49 years ago, that introduction to Shine On gave me goose bumps. The combination of Rick Wright's beautiful keyboards and Dave Gilmours pristine guitar still gives me goose bumps. I mean, after Dark Side, this band were expected to repeat a successful formula. BUT, proving their true greatness, Floyd created a follow on album which is totally different to its predecessor - - just 5 tracks, but honed to perfection. SIMPLE GENIUS!
This album is incredible. I love the arrangements of the instruments, the dynamics of delicate and emotional energy, and the concept.
This and animals are my two favorites
@@NathanSmith-xf7rk I prefer dark side of the moon
I like it all with a big buzzzzzz
Love this album. Played it to my son when he was a baby to get him to sleep. He s 33 now. I still love it.
The question is, does your son love it, to this day?
@@vNCAwizard

He s 33 now. I still love it. the pinnacle of selfishness, does/did your son love it?

There has never been a better one in history!
Roger - is the greatest musician!
This was Richard Wright's favorite album. It certainly would not have been the same without him.
❤ In memorial of Richard and Sid,
"Thank you."
Yeah it probably is his favorite album
@@JaydenMereles Richard had mentioned it in an interview once. He may have said it other times that I don't know.
I was 19, in the military and this drove me crazy back in 76. To this day I still say this is best heard in the car in the dark, someplace out and away from lights, other cars... Camping, in front of the fire or in the desert, dark.
Somewhere on the Colorado Plateau ? 😉
I agree, the best way to listen to it is in the dark. It was how I heard it the very first time at the age of 17 and I still like to occasionally turn out the lights, lay on the floor with headphones and get lost in the music - and I'm now 60.
Вступление, несущие непередаваемые эмоции и ассоциации. Вплоть до мурашек по коже.
Музыка передает сам вкус группы и образов, которыми они жили.
47 years and still shining like the sun
As an early PF fan I bought this album on the first day it was available in my local record shop in September 1975. I listened to it every day and I had to buy a new copy after a couple of years. Still listening to it today after almost 50 years. It's timeless. I have literally lived my life with PF's music and I hope they gonna play this on my funeral party and have a good time.
ASTOUNDING !!!!! This recording is best experienced through a good set of headphones & in total darkness.....It's been over 45 years & it still raises goosebumps!!! THANKS !!!!!
exactly how I listened to it in my teen years.
With a hit of acid 😜
and LSD :)
The light, tinkling bells at the start cannot be heard on a shitty speaker. You are 100% correct.
I just showed my wife I had goosebumps!
I listened to Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here for the first time tonight. I'm in the middle of grieving and this album has hit me so hard. It is beautiful.
Welcome
i am sorry for your loss. We played Crazy Diamond at my Sons Memorial. He was a huge fan.
After leaving the hospital saying goodbye to my grandfather, wish you were here played on the radio. A few months later, crazy diamond played as we left from saying goodbye to my grandmother. These songs and this band mean more to me than a lot of people understand but i'm glad you do.
@@TatersPrecious996 Best Wishes for You and Yours
@@williamstropicalfarm5082 that's what I came here to say! And .... \o/ I LOVE YOU ALL
I was at a pizza joint in Atlanta. They were playing the entire album. The only tracK I heard before was “Wish You Were Here.” The guy preparing the pizza looked at the expression on my face and he knew I would not be the same. That day I became a Pink Floyd fan!
As a young man, I lost my father to cancer. This album hits me hard
Yup I feel that brother. Last time I saw my mom she was sleeping. I was about to make a 12 hour drug run (just weed but a LOT) It was like 5am and I was looking for something and I always used to wake her up and stress her out. For some reason I didn't that day, didn't want to stress her out for once. Came back and she was gone. Wish you were here mom ❤️...p.s. Betsey's a 40 year old man
@@betsybarilla3752 Glad you are still here. Shine bright like a diamond
It is really a masterpiece in music of all times!
and lyrics
have a look on TH-cam at METAL GIRLS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
This was my young kid headphones music that changed how I felt about music and how I saw reality... I'm an old man now...and it still teaches me so many things.
Bro, I tripped to this album so hard! Like full-on trance! My consciousness left my body and completely forgot I'm human. I ended up inside the clouds of jupiter or something.
Yep, sounds like a Wish You Were Here experience.
Psychedelics and Pink Floyd, name a more iconic duo
I tripped to the wall and dark side of the moon.
@@sroevukasroevuka my hardest trip so far has been to animals.
@@gbbarn that was good too. So was the wall i watched it dosing. Saw some good stuff.
49 years later, time to write the 3.499s comment. I remember when I bought the record. It was my second one after buying "Gone to earth" from BJH with my father. He now is eightyeight years old and gets care from my mother. And what has become of me? So, I became grandpa in 2022 and love my family. Time to say: Thank you very much!
This is the album that made me question if I should continue to try to be a musician or not. Love Pink Floyd!!!
Pink floyd helped me through the most insane dark times as a kid. Being a musician can bring a lot of joy to other people's lives. Keep at it!
@@paulallen2919 yes. That was 30 years ago. I'm old now and had a wonderful life as a musician.
So very pleased to hear Jason. its a blessing to play and soothe yourself with it
lol i was just thinking to myself how demoralizing this album must have been to literally every musician to come after. thankfully people kept on, as futile as it may be.
great memories listening to this with my dad 10-15 years ago. my favorite songs and album of all time
Когда я только начинал увлекаться рок-музыкой (тогда я слушал Joy Division, The Doors), мой отчим посоветовал послушать мне Pink Floyd. «Wish you were here» - мой первый, и до сих пор любимый не только их, но и за все время альбом. Одноименная песня до сих пор пробирает меня до мурашек.
Я безумно фанател от них, когда встретил Её. Она на долгое время взяла у меня мерч этой группы и вернула только тогда, когда мы с ней уже перестали быть вместе. Футболку она вернула (цвет полностью пропал, но я ее все равно носил почти каждый день на протяжении пары лет, пока она полностью не испортилась), а сама улетела за 10 тысяч километров от меня.
Wish you were here, my dear.
