The song is about their former band member Syd Barret, who had to leave the band for mental health problems. (Remember, when you were young: you shone like the sun! Now there‘s a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond!)
I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
Now that is the way to do a reaction video! You listened, you didn't interrupt with pauses and talking and you waited until the end to comment. You were tuned in and we appreciated your reverence to good music. Consider carrying on with the whole pulse concert and all of Pink Floyds catalog. Allow us to take this journey with you and enjoy.
I went to this Earls Court concert with my best friend in 94, it was the best night of our lives. He died 10 months ago and this track was played in his funeral so every time I hear this now it takes on a whole new meaning... "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" 💎❤
Pink Floyd is like no other musical group. Their music style is unique. All of the songs from the Pulse collection are excellent. Please check out COMFORTABLY NUMB live (Pulse).
Hello Eddy! I spoke with Delaney during the intermission. As you dive further into the world of Pink Floyd’s extensive collection, you will realize they were seriously talented musicians.
Enjoyed your reaction, my friend! Since you are a musician, it is no surprise that you enjoyed this song. Pink Floyd was all about the music. They are brilliant, talented musicians with a massive catalog of iconic music. Try Comfortably Numb live at the Pulse concert 1994. You will love it.
Great reaction! I'm going to see Nick Mason (the drummer) in concert tomorrow. He has a band with excellent musicians, including the bassist Guy Pratt from this concert. They play more early Pink Floyd songs up to and including Meddle. Which may not mean anything to you now, but it will in time. Enjoy your Floyd journey. There is nothing like it.
Wow, that’s gonna be an amazing experience, I envy you all… 😊,I am getting into this rabbit hole gradually and really enjoying my journey. Thanks for the comment. Have a great time tomorrow in the concert too. Cheers.😊👍🏽
Greetings from Canada. Nice going, young sir. Now, try a tune that features the bass guitar of Guy Pratt at the same Pulse Concert: "One of These Days" will blow your skull open. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again when it comes to describing Pink Floyd: Pink Floyd is the kind of band that are in a genre of their own. They are the epitome of the truest expression of art in rock music. It’s like painting murals, but with music instead of paint.
As a Bassist check out "One of These Days" from this same life changing concert! Also check out John Entwhistle of The Who on "Won't Get Fooled Again" Shepperton Session. It is often said that if you voted for the top three bass players, the late JE would fill all three places!

Hi Eddy, First time I have watched your podcast. I see many people who put out podcasts eveluating songs from bygone eras. One thing I think sets you apart from other creators is you don't only evaluate the music, but the lyrics as well. And those who listen to Pink Floyd without understanding their lyrics have missed half the show. Well done sir.
I'm excited to see you diving into new music. You did a great job of breaking down what you liked about it. I see your channel is new. Good luck, and enjoy the journey. You have a new team member! Keep shining!
Great reaction! You should keep checking more Pink Floyd songs! Any song from that live concert is a unique jewel! Also, I would like to suggest you a bass player from Argentina named Pedro Aznar. You can check the song "A los jóvenes de ayer", from the band "Serú Girán", in which Pedro is the bassist. Also, if you like progressive music, you should check "La máquina de hacer pájaros", you won't regret it! Their songs "Que se puede hacer salvo ver películas", "Hipercandombe" and "Ah te vi entre las luces" are classics from our progressive rock history. Cheers! You earned a new subscriber.
New subscriber here. Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole! You’re in for a ride. Can’t wait till you get to Comfortably Numb from this concert. Echoes is another great one, especially the one they did in Pompeii when they were young. ✌🏻💕
Thanks for the reaction Sir! Glad to hear we have another Pink Floyd fan. This song is a 1975 tribute to an original band member, Sid Barrett. Your interpretation is also fitting. Pick an album and song...to can't go wrong.
🤗 Welcome to the family! 🤯 Be prepared to have your mind blown. You WILL be getting a TON of request for 'Comfortably Numb' Pulse Live 😉 so get ready! 🥰🐰
The bass player Guy Pratt played with the band, and then David Gilmour for over 30 years, I think he is now in his 50s, he has played for big names, including Madonna. He was married to the keyboard player, Richard Wright's daughter. I think the drummer, Nick Mason was touring, maybe last year, with his band.
In another century, in a place long since demolished, they played this as the opening number. Their first tour without Roger Waters. His absence made it no less incredible.
If you like bass you have to give Rush a listen to, Geddy Lee is one of the top players ever and he's backed by a drummer and lead guitarist that are just as amazing. A live version of Leave That Thing Alone would be a good one to start with. Cheers from Canada. 😊🇨🇦
And as you are a bass player you need to search Guy Pratt, he was the bassist on this performance, he's played with the greats, and is responsible many recognisable basslines in pop and music history. For example, here is how he describes he wrote the bassline for 'Like a Prayer' (Madonna) th-cam.com/video/yluPCLc1ltg/w-d-xo.html 👍

So sorry for your loss.

Pink Floyd is an Experience unique to itself. 😊
Great Gig in the Sky! Pulse concert
Are!
You had to be there- the goose bumps you felt from beginning to end- were indescribable!!
Wow I can only imagine
I saw Pink Floyd live, and it was an experience. The best show I ever went to and I've been to a lot of shows.
Same here 😊

Okay, I’ll check that out 👍🏽
And MONEY, SORROW, LEARNING TO FLY, ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL by live PULSE ...bass MASTERPIECE.
The BEST version of that song, is on the Delicate Sound of Thunder (live)
@@BarzOnTheWindow1 no...senza DICK PARRY 🎷 ai sax non c'è SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND.
Scott Page è un bravo musicista ma in quella versione di DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER si perde in troppe variazioni fuori tema e fuori luogo.
I suggest One of These Days to him, because he is bass player.
Guy Prat, was Pink Floyd Live bass player. Guy, does excellent job on Delicate Sound
Don‘t forget: this was recorded in 1994(!!!). It was even more off the charts back then! The fact that it is still off the charts 30 years later says it all!
True
You MUST watch the whole concert! Best production in R&R history!!! Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd!!
Mind blowing
I still maintain that the original DVD is better but hay at least I was there, brilliant.

Soo true
They are definitely out there on their own,
Love that you listened to the whole song before commenting. Perfect reaction by you. Hats off to you.
Thank you soo much for watching..
great Blues, great space rock. best concert ever
Absolutely 👍🏽
you must be some kind of genius to make a song like this. Love to Floyd
True, I agree
Pink Floyd is like Candy for your Soul. I remember first hearing PF 40 years ago. I felt something in my body that I didnt know I needed.
Haha yea right
Anyone that reacts to Pink Floyd like that is worth a sub.
Cheers chap, I'm on board.
Wow.. I appreciate your comment means a lot to me bro.🙏👍🏽
I know it's a foot long but I hope it's not a six inch😅
my favorite Floyd song. The full story behind this song, the Syd Barrett story, will make you feel it all the more.
Okay, really have no idea.
Thanks Eddy! You see with musical eyes/ ears.
Thank you soo much.
Please more Pink Floyd, "echoes" live, full, for example. Have a nice trip!
More coming 😃
The song is about former band mate and one of the founding members of Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett its about him losing his mind.
Wow Right!!!

Pink Floyd is best listened to with your eyes closed.
It's always an awesome experience..
As a Bassist check out "One of These Days" from this same life changing concert! Also check out John Entwhistle of The Who on "Won't Get Fooled Again" Shepperton Session. It is often said that if you voted for the top three bass players, the late JE would fill all three places!
Yeah John Entwhistle probably the greatest bass player of all time please watch 😊

And thanks for watching..
And David's smile is a joy!
True 😀
Great to see Sam Brown in the backing vocals (the one in the middle). She's a fantastic artist in her own right. Worth checking her out.
Awesome
I bought her solo album back in the day. "STOP"
Wow..
Great reaction! Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole you are about to experience. You will not regret it! Look forward to more!

Wow.. Great guysss, all of them
If you thought that was good wait until you see comfortably numb and then the great gig in the sky and so many more !!!
Wow..
Watch Echoes live in the Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii in 1971
Okay
Now have to listen to the album version which is longer and has more music
Sure will, thankssss
In another century, in a place long since demolished, they played this as the opening number. Their first tour without Roger Waters.
His absence made it no less incredible.
Awesome!
I suggest "One of These Days" Pulse 94 for some Bass playing
Okay 👍🏽
Next: Pink Floyd: Pulse: „High hopes“!
This is to me the absolutely the best way to honor Syd for what he meant to the band.
Other than Roger Waters and Syd started the band, David mastered his craft, but Roger was the genius!
Awesome Guy..
They all legends man.. ❤️🙏
@@eddybassreacts You know it
Oh oh! You just went down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. You’re in trouble now….😮
Hahaha love the trouble 😜😉
Dick Parry's 🎷
Awesome Guy..
If you havent yet. Do some Rush please. Tom.Sawyer
Okay.. I’ll check that out 👍🏽
If David ever missed a note , you would have to know it was purposeful , if you even noticed. Pro's.
Hahaha Awesome guy..

Wow!!!
When you listen to their album ANIMALS, go through the entire album from the first song through the last.
Okay 👍🏽
😢 Dogs of war....... On the turning away...... The wall The whole album watch the movie
If you haven't already, you really need to check out Tool. Start with The Pot and see what you think. Their bassist is 🔥!
Great! Will do
How about that saxophone switch? Was that cool or what?
He was super amazing
Nothing even comes close to pink Floyd.
