I couldn’t agree more. I was at a record shop buying the Dark Side Of The Moon anniversary edition and the employee said ‘good to see you’re buying the right Pink Floyd album. The Wall is too political.’ Thus ensued a long debate about the two albums. I essentially tried to make the same point you made above as it is an incredibly well produced and assembled album, a true concept album before these existed. I love both albums but The Wall is in a league of its own.
When analog video was done scene by scene like The Wall movie it was untouchable… if we aren’t living in caves burning wood to survive this will be being reacted to a century from now ~~~timeless
Most unique sound of all time that nobody has been able to recreate or steal even though we've all tried. Amazing lyrics. Catchy while also being avant garde and "out there". There is nobody better and I don't think it's even close. I love everyone who rips on Gilmour for being a one trick pony...if he's a one trick pony, he had the best trick of all time.
I put Pink Floyd and Tool in the same tier for the same reasons. Both made their own unique sounds when everyone else was sounding the same and did it with near perfection.
Sit in a comfy chair, pour a half glass of a good Kentucky Bourbon, smoke a J and press play in order to have an emotional musical experience. Life changing really. ❤
Pink Floyd is a musical genre in and of itself. Very few other bands can compete with the originality and uniqueness of Pink Floyd. Greatest band of all time.
If you didn’t catch it,Gilmour sang the beginning part of this song and Roger Waters finishes the back end . For me ,it symbolizes the struggle between asking for help and then desperately crying out for help. Both sang this song beautifully.
You got it Polo....there's Pink Floyd....and then there is everybody else! And it's the same with concerts....there's Pink Floyd....and then everyone else you've ever seen!!! It's just facts, it's an experience
TBH I have trouble listening to one of these songs without wanting to listen to the whole thing. They form pictures in your head and whilst some are easier for a standalone listen than others I just want the next to start so I can continue the story.
It’s sped up slightly. It’s about a half or whole step higher pitched than normal. Like this audio was ripped from vinyl where the record player was spinning too fast.
Reaction videos far superior to most others. No screaming. No bouncing up and down. No pot smoking. No horn blowing. Just high quality audio, serious listening, and sincere commenting.
I know everyone says this about a lot of albums... but Dark Side and The Wall are both examples of "the sum is greater than the parts", even though the parts are monumental by themselves. Please listen to each in their entirety from start to finish. Life changing.
The Wall is so, so dark yet has some of the most beautiful music created in the last century. I know Polo wants to come to each track fresh, but, comment readers, and Polo eventually, listen to The Wall in one sitting. Life-changing stuff. Dark Side of the Moon is another one to listen to entire
Good cans on your head, sitting on your living room floor in the middle of the night, and occasionally talking to the whole world is the most Pink Floyd thing there ever was.
This is one of those timeless epic anthems that defined a generation. I was thinking, imagine being a teenager in the 70s, growing up with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Rolling Stones n many, many more incredible bands 🤯
I grew up with those great bands! I love seeing young people discovering and getting into this music. I am also discovering. Before this year I had never heard Pink Floyd pre DSOTM. It has been an amazing voyage, including the original lead singer and guitarist the beautiful and magical Syd Barrett!
I was there… it was simply the best era for music in the 20th Century. It’s all still in my head as a frame of reference, that’s why Baby Boomers will always be another Tribe.. tough, seasoned self reliant, and observing with eyes wide open the loss of so much that was sacred in society
AGAIN! “The Wall” Album is ONE BIG SONG!! It tells a STORY! We would ALL be VERY HAPPY to listen to the WHOLE THING WITH YOU! Lyrics in hand!! Just set the date and time and let’s go there!! 😎👍💕
Excellent choice, POLO. The song is even better when you listen to, or watch, The Wall in its entirety. Pink Floyd are known for their concept albums, so you smoke up, put your headphones on, lean back, and press play for the total experience. Each of the songs represent synergy at its finest. That said, Comfortably Numb (also from The Wall) is just the best effing song out there and you've already done that one. Edited to add that I love your meditative posture while listening.
@@clintlandrum9498no no no.. while the Pulse version is nice, Roger isn’t there and it’s simply not the same.. he’s better off listening to the studio version str8 from The Wall
I’ll never forget the day 15 years ago when my then 14 year old son came up to me and said “David Gilmour makes me cry”. I was shocked but SO glad he agreed with me! Glad to have you on the bus!!!❤ (the song was Wish You Were Here that time)…
😢That comment made me cry! They transcend all time and space. I passed my love to my now 29 year old son, as I will to every grandchild, niece or nephew! ❤😢😢
And the worms ate into his brain... Still one of my favorite lines. So visual and disturbing and paints that picture perfectly. Love your reactions bro, thanks for the lift so many of us need :)
Mine too. Love this song! I was so bummed out when I watched The Wall movie and found out that this was one of two songs that were cut out of the film.
Most of my life, I have been high functioning depressive w/SAD. The music of Pink Floyd was one of the strongest legs helping support me in feeling less alone in my journey. When The Wall came out, I was in the middle of losing my first lover and dealing with huge pressure in University. This album made me feel less alone in my despair and confusion. Mighty, mighty work of art.
LOL aren't you special? How could anyone survive a breakup in college? Good thing Pink Floyd was there to help you cope with that exceptional depression!
@@tomratcliff3755 LOL sure you didn't. We're all high functioning depressives w/SAD! Just not so depressive to not be in sexual relationships at 20 years old, right? What's the most inspiring part if The Wall that helped you with your high functioning depression? The hatred of your mother? The fascism? The herion abuse? The countless lives saved by the uplifting messages of The Wall!
You are, without a doubt, one of the best reaction dudes out there. Love the way you quickly comment and let the music continue rather than dwelling on a single comment. So real. And your comments are so insightful and spot on. Keep it up!!!
The whole album is one big musical work of art.. an adventure that they create in your mind with their music. Each song flows into another, it doesn’t just STOP.. like you heard on the video. It keeps flowing. It’s just fantastic.
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.
The entire album is incredible, but this track is particularly pertinent to today’s world. Gilmore plays both the guitar and fret-less bass on this track and it’s just brilliant
At some point, you said «This is from another planet». YES!!! You're right, Polo!!! If you listen to their early albums especially Ummagumma, you will definitely feel that they are from another planet!
There is no other band that produces such thought-provoking music. It is a definitive journey when listening to the mastery of poetry and music that this collaboration of people created. Undeniably and artistic masterpiece!
If you haven't dived into Alan Parsons yet, he was the sound engineer who worked for Apple when Floyd was recording Dark Side. His own work and band, the Alan Parsons Project, is fantastic. And he has a massive catalog of stuff you would like as well.
You need to react to all the songs on the wall so you can play the whole album over and over. The way the songs flow together telling the story of Pink will make you a bigger fan. Maybe a movie reaction to "The Wall" would be the way to go.
I'm sure it's been recommended to you already, but you TRULY owe it to yourself to sit and listen to this entire album start to finish. It is an absolute masterpiece, top to bottom - you will NOT regret it!! Awesome video as always!
I never knew a time without pink floyd. Learning to fly on vinyl when i was 5 or maybe even 4. My auntie had a acid/country taste and i loved staying with her. Now im sharing those with my kids and nieces and nephews like she did for me.
Dude, welcome to my youth. When listening to Floyd. It must be taken as a concept album Polo. This is the youth of my music and why I became a lead guitarist, bassist and drummer. My influence's of lead are Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton & Duane Allman. My bass influence's are Jack Bruce, John Paul Jones, Geezer Butler Geddy Lee & Paul Paul McCartney. Drums🥁 include Neil Peart, John Bonzo Bonham and Carl Palmer. Floyd have concept albums. The problem is you can't isolate one song specifically "The Wall" album. All through it. The idea of the fictional character Pink is building a wall psychologically. Every song mentions it. In this one " the wall was too high as you can see" please look for the wall reference in all the songs on this album. Plus, you have to see the movie. It helps. Keep rocking on Polo. 😎🎸🎼🎸🎶
It was 1981 and my Mom gave me The Wall as a gift. I was 11 years old. It shaped my music palette for the rest of my life. (Sleeve art was mindblowing for my 11-year-old self too)
David Gilmore is a poet. His note placement is pure perfection. His solo on the Pulse concert for “comfortably numb “ is hailed by some as one of the greatest solos of all time.
Welcome to the greatest band ever. On a side note, the copyright strike nonsense doesn't come into play whether you stop and start or play the entire song. As long as you are discussing the song in an editorial context or debating etc, it's fair use and they will not strike your account. You do have to appeal with some like Sony music but you'll win since you discuss the music etc
Love your reactions, fast becoming one of my favorites. You are a music lover and glad to see you enjoying PF as much as the rest of us Floydians. You also look like you're in the right settings to listen to them, lol. IMO, best band ever! Been a fan of theirs pretty much from their start, and yes that means I'm now getting old but it's very refreshing to see the younger generation appreciate good music. Have seen them live a number of times and had to see Pulse concert twice, it was that good. These guys had an insane amount of talent!!
Love it! I love seeing someone feel the same thing I felt when I was a kid. The world just seems larger and your eyes and ears seems completely open. Glad you dug that one. Most all of their stuff does that for me
I remember in the start of the 1980’ies, being a teenager when I got the album “The Wall” on my record player : it was an epiphany, an amazing rush, pure energy. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm
Great to see you have now 'discovered' Pink Floyd. 👀 Suggest you should play the whole WALL Album in corect order to get the full context of each track. You will be in another world after that experience !
In one way you’re right about getting desensitized by good music. I became a music snob growing up listening to the finest era of modern music unfolding and evolving in my ears on a daily basis over the FM dial. (There was even a short time FM was commercial free. ) What a dream-time we had.
Their stuff never gets old. Most if not all their songs are anti-war and anti-facism. You picked a different lighting when listening to this track. Mood
@@Ivanich8no he didn't. You couldn't be further from the truth. His concerts are a diatribe on the cycle of fascism. Gilmour's wife is well out of line calling him one, when the Israeli government (the Zionists, whom the real Jews are dead against) are the bad guys, treating Palestinian children just as they were during WW2. Waters' own father died fighting against Fascism. Pull ya head in.
My hubby went to Pink Floyd when he was 18 for free, a friend had an extra ticket and he was the lucky chosen one. He said it was the best concert experience that he's ever had,unforgettable!
Love it. Watching The Wall from start to finish shows what an amazing story it is, and the animation in certain areas is pretty unforgettable. I always listen to this album while on road trips.
Agree, the movie is incredible, credit to Alan Parker, and saw 1000’ times as a teenager and guitarist also suffering of bipolar disorder and anxiaty for 33 years, it moves me every Time. Even for the 48 y old Little boy i am 😉
I just watched a documentary on Tom Hank's Castaway. In the scene where he makes fire they taught him how to make a fire by rubbing materials etc. Then they filmed his first attempt until he got it lit. It took like 4 hours, if I remember right, but a really long time. So that reaction Hanks shows is absolutely legitimate excitement at FINALLY getting that fire lit after hours of trying.
One of my favorite songs. The Wall will always be special for me. The first night floyd performed the Wall at Nassau Coliseum we crashed through the window to get in. It was crazy.😎
Something about 70s, 80s and 90s rock that just hits. Music had a soul. This was the golden era of music. I wish I could have been alive and gone to some of the festivals from back then like Woodstock.
Never heard this? It stands alone as a masterpiece. In the context of the album, it’s even better. Outstanding ❤❤❤ David Gilmour plays the fretless bass here
Really awesome to see how much your channel has evolved. Your reactions have always been great. The different camera angles and positions are really cool, adds another dynamic element to your videos. Keep up the good work!
"The trial" off of this album is great too. Different but still a great track. Might as well do the whole album top to bottom, it's a concept album like dark side of the Moon.

everyones gonna say it... but you gotta listen to the whole album...
I do enjoy the channel. You have good content.
@@terryconnelly484 I highly recommend that experience
You must watch the whole Pink Floyd "The Wall" movie.
you know its real music when it transends time, culture, politics. that entire album is a master piece.
NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE past, present or future can ever put music together like Pink Floyd
I concur
Zep did before
They always deliver. If you love music, no question they are one of the greatest bands ever.
💯 totally agree
Not one of, they ARE…
I vote the THE best.
I don't disagree, I just shy away from judging art. @@dubkjay
No doubt. My brother always says when I throw Floyd on. They're not my cup of tea bro, but there's no doubt, they're musical geniuses.
The Wall is the most accomplished double album ever made. And the movie is a masterpiece

Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever and David Gilmour is an alien.
yes but they are a close second to led zeppelin (just)
yes
@@Foxingban the creativity of PF can't be matched
Greatest band ever, and in my mind it's not even a debate... ❤
Steven, you know what you saying ❤
Fully agreed. Not a bad song from them and totally unique.
Most unique sound of all time that nobody has been able to recreate or steal even though we've all tried. Amazing lyrics. Catchy while also being avant garde and "out there". There is nobody better and I don't think it's even close. I love everyone who rips on Gilmour for being a one trick pony...if he's a one trick pony, he had the best trick of all time.
@@jimmyjams9036Gilmour a one trick pony? To my ears he's responsible for the Pink Floyd sound. Roger's fans will disagree I'm sure.
I put Pink Floyd and Tool in the same tier for the same reasons. Both made their own unique sounds when everyone else was sounding the same and did it with near perfection.
Together we stand
Divided we fall …
Pink Floyd
Sit in a comfy chair, pour a half glass of a good Kentucky Bourbon, smoke a J and press play in order to have an emotional musical experience. Life changing really. ❤
Agreed. This is optimal for listening to the whole album in one go. Preferably in a dark room too.
Retired4365, I couldn't agree with you more.
Pink Floyd is definitely a experience on it's own but there is always a way to expand your experience.
Bruv,I'm in the UK.agreed ,but for me forget the booze.go with two just headphones and chill.
Don't need the whiskey. The J gives you another world into the music
Just leave the bottle, we're grown ups here.
😅I just love it when someone else falls in love with Pink Floyd like I did in the '70s !!!!
Pink Floyd is a musical genre in and of itself. Very few other bands can compete with the originality and uniqueness of Pink Floyd. Greatest band of all time.
The only other group that can come close is Alan Parsons Project and early Genesis. Story tellers, all.
the absolute masters of music
Sorry Led Zeppelin for me
No other like them
Ha ha- I think your right
The Brit’s graced us for decades with the greatest music ever recorded. Sit back and fly to the universe .
If you didn’t catch it,Gilmour sang the beginning part of this song and Roger Waters finishes the back end . For me ,it symbolizes the struggle between asking for help and then desperately crying out for help. Both sang this song beautifully.
Excellent. Thanks for this reminder.
They're pretty good for neither of them considering himself a real singer.
Nope. That's Roger.
@@davidbrown3971 They just said that lol. David sings the beginning, Roger sings the end.
waters is the master of this sort of track his own stuff is ver simlar especially the pros and cons of hitchhicking
Let's not forget that Richard Wright was a master at creating moods and atmospheres with his keyboards.
The album, ‘The Wall’, is a masterpiece!
The movie is even better, puts everything into perspective
Absolutely 🤘
They’re all masterpieces
David Gilmour’s guitar work is simply mesmerizing. He is a legend!!
You got it Polo....there's Pink Floyd....and then there is everybody else! And it's the same with concerts....there's Pink Floyd....and then everyone else you've ever seen!!! It's just facts, it's an experience
20 50 100 years from now people will still be listening to and marveling at this music from this band
The track seems short, but the whole album THE WALL together tells the Story.❤
This track seems short because Echoes is 23 minutes long, etc.
TBH I have trouble listening to one of these songs without wanting to listen to the whole thing. They form pictures in your head and whilst some are easier for a standalone listen than others I just want the next to start so I can continue the story.
It’s sped up slightly. It’s about a half or whole step higher pitched than normal. Like this audio was ripped from vinyl where the record player was spinning too fast.
I agree. While the individual songs are fantastic, The Wall is at its best when the whole thing is listened to as a while piece of work.
Must do full album……maybe do Dark Side of the Moon album first.
Reaction videos far superior to most others. No screaming. No bouncing up and down. No pot smoking. No horn blowing. Just high quality audio, serious listening, and sincere commenting.
I know everyone says this about a lot of albums... but Dark Side and The Wall are both examples of "the sum is greater than the parts", even though the parts are monumental by themselves. Please listen to each in their entirety from start to finish. Life changing.
Jinx! I just said the exact same thing two minutes ago. SYNERGY.
The Wall is so, so dark yet has some of the most beautiful music created in the last century. I know Polo wants to come to each track fresh, but, comment readers, and Polo eventually, listen to The Wall in one sitting. Life-changing stuff.
Dark Side of the Moon is another one to listen to entire
You can add WYWH and Animals to that list. Meddle too.
I'd have Obscured By Clouds in there as well.
^^^^^^^ THIS!!!!
Good cans on your head, sitting on your living room floor in the middle of the night, and occasionally talking to the whole world is the most Pink Floyd thing there ever was.
The experience of listening to Pink Floyd can be other worldly.
This is one of those timeless epic anthems that defined a generation.
I was thinking, imagine being a teenager in the 70s, growing up with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Rolling Stones n many, many more incredible bands 🤯
I don't have to imagine, I remember it. Believe me, it was an epic time.
I was! loved those days...

Greatest band in history period

Pink Floyd isnt music, it never claimed to be, Pink Floyd is life. 💪🔥 Go get it champ.

#Facts
I'm 64 been listening to pink Floyd since 13 my favorite!
That first solo... chills every time.
I love the transition from Gilmore's soothing voice to Water's tortured voice.
Should have been a longer song.

Great gig in the sky is good too. With headphone you can notice the whispering voice saying "if you hear someone speaking, you're dying"
Together we stand, devided we fall always hits hard.
To me: The lyrics "Don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand divided we fall" are the toughest to sing without getting emotional.
Thank you for reacting to this song! Pink Floyd is one of greatest bands of all time. Their music is absolutely timeless and magical!
My favorite Pink Floyd song ever. Musical perfection.
Mine too. Love this song! I was so bummed out when I watched The Wall movie and found out that this was one of two songs that were cut out of the film.

I can relate to how or why they helped you through life's hard times ..As David Bowie was mine.
LOL aren't you special? How could anyone survive a breakup in college? Good thing Pink Floyd was there to help you cope with that exceptional depression!

@tomratcliff3755 No, you didn't actually, but it seems some ppl think they are ! 😂
If you want to go into the minds of two incredible artists, put on the movie "The Wall" and hold on!Prepare to escape from your own mind! ✌️
Timeless classic from Pink Floyd. Awesome band live in concert. Great reaction bro
You are, without a doubt, one of the best reaction dudes out there. Love the way you quickly comment and let the music continue rather than dwelling on a single comment. So real. And your comments are so insightful and spot on. Keep it up!!!

Being in my teens during the 70's.... We were absolutely spoiled by seemingly endless fantastic music.

Alan Parsons,and Moody Blues,some really good music....
Pink Floyd is timeless.
ya just got pinked pure class
10, 15, 20 years from now this will still sound great to you. Thanks Polo for reviewing this
One of my faves from Pink Floyd
You need to react to all the songs on the wall so you can play the whole album over and over. The way the songs flow together telling the story of Pink will make you a bigger fan. Maybe a movie reaction to "The Wall" would be the way to go.
Family.. thank you.. this mother f***** brings me back,, this one hits hard buddy
I'm sure it's been recommended to you already, but you TRULY owe it to yourself to sit and listen to this entire album start to finish. It is an absolute masterpiece, top to bottom - you will NOT regret it!! Awesome video as always!
I guess this is the first time I heard this outside of the album. It's really better than I remembered it.
Pink Floyd creates art that evokes emotions. Incredible music masterpieces!
As a fan of many. many years of Pink Floyd, I can't tell you how joyful it is for me to watch you discovering the genius that is Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd has at least two of the best albums of all time
Dark Side of the Moon was one of top 100 albums over a decade!
I never knew a time without pink floyd. Learning to fly on vinyl when i was 5 or maybe even 4. My auntie had a acid/country taste and i loved staying with her. Now im sharing those with my kids and nieces and nephews like she did for me.
Alan Parker's film "The Wall" is a masterpiece. He was a genius director and master of shadow, color, mood, and gothic brilliance.
Agreed, but some of the animation was kind of terrifying to me. Still love it, though. "Look, Mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky."
I saw it for the first time when I was 9, weird dreams followed. But the message stayed with me
pink floyd the turning away.. must listen.
Dude, welcome to my youth. When listening to Floyd. It must be taken as a concept album Polo. This is the youth of my music and why I became a lead guitarist, bassist and drummer. My influence's of lead are Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton & Duane Allman. My bass influence's are Jack Bruce, John Paul Jones, Geezer Butler Geddy Lee & Paul Paul McCartney.

10.10 perfection basically, music and voice but on so many levels emotion, songs like this shows how much music has declined terribly bad.
This song hit me the same way the first time I heard it. After a zillion listens, it's still 🔥 as ever
It was 1981 and my Mom gave me The Wall as a gift. I was 11 years old. It shaped my music palette for the rest of my life. (Sleeve art was mindblowing for my 11-year-old self too)

Great job as always my brother! You feel it!

Love your reaction, this entire album is just incredible 😁
I remember in the start of the 1980’ies, being a teenager when I got the album “The Wall” on my record player : it was an epiphany, an amazing rush, pure energy. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm
Beautiful one Polo! Such a magnificent song !
Great to see you have now 'discovered' Pink Floyd. 👀
Suggest you should play the whole WALL Album in corect order to get the full context of each track.
You will be in another world after that experience !
Interesting fact, Hey You is the only song on the album that isn’t in the movie..
Love Floyd and your channel Polo!!!
In one way you’re right about getting desensitized by good music. I became a music snob growing up listening to the finest era of modern music unfolding and evolving in my ears on a daily basis over the FM dial. (There was even a short time FM was commercial free. )
What a dream-time we had.
Their stuff never gets old. Most if not all their songs are anti-war and anti-facism. You picked a different lighting when listening to this track. Mood
True, but Roger ended up as a fascist
@@Ivanich8no he didn't.
You couldn't be further from the truth. His concerts are a diatribe on the cycle of fascism. Gilmour's wife is well out of line calling him one, when the Israeli government (the Zionists, whom the real Jews are dead against) are the bad guys, treating Palestinian children just as they were during WW2.
Waters' own father died fighting against Fascism.
Pull ya head in.
@Ivanich8 rubbish. He's always been adamantly anti-war and anti fascist. He just wants us to stop killing each other, regardless of where they live.
My hubby went to Pink Floyd when he was 18 for free, a friend had an extra ticket and he was the lucky chosen one. He said it was the best concert experience that he's ever had,unforgettable!
Love it. Watching The Wall from start to finish shows what an amazing story it is, and the animation in certain areas is pretty unforgettable.
I always listen to this album while on road trips.
Yes, the movie is a masterpiece, IMO. And it REALLY helps viewers understand the lyrics they might otherwise not fully grasp.
Agree, the movie is incredible, credit to Alan Parker, and saw 1000’ times as a teenager and guitarist also suffering of bipolar disorder and anxiaty for 33 years, it moves me every Time. Even for the 48 y old Little boy i am 😉
Lol.... the song was left off the movie
Check out "on the turning away " (Pink Floyd) from the Delicate sound of thunder concert. Its amazing. You'll love it!
That’s a great song, he would love it.
I just watched a documentary on Tom Hank's Castaway.
In the scene where he makes fire they taught him how to make a fire by rubbing materials etc. Then they filmed his first attempt until he got it lit.
It took like 4 hours, if I remember right, but a really long time. So that reaction Hanks shows is absolutely legitimate excitement at FINALLY getting that fire lit after hours of trying.
I don’t normally watch you at work but when I saw this I said when my break comes I’m watching this!! “Sorrow” from PULSE Is also amazing!! 😳🔥🎸🎼
One of my favorite songs. The Wall will always be special for me. The first night floyd performed the Wall at Nassau Coliseum we crashed through the window to get in. It was crazy.😎
Mother is an amazing song as well
Yes that’s my favorite
Bro you are bringing generation to awareness of these masterworks !!
My three favorite PF songs are this one, Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here! Great reaction!!
Great song! One of Pink Floyd’s many. Also, digging the new set up.
Something about 70s, 80s and 90s rock that just hits. Music had a soul. This was the golden era of music. I wish I could have been alive and gone to some of the festivals from back then like Woodstock.
Never heard this? It stands alone as a masterpiece. In the context of the album, it’s even better. Outstanding ❤❤❤ David Gilmour plays the fretless bass here
Mr Polo you have outstanding musical taste !😎
Really awesome to see how much your channel has evolved. Your reactions have always been great. The different camera angles and positions are really cool, adds another dynamic element to your videos. Keep up the good work!
"mother" i think is my fav song by them. def worth checking out.
"The trial" off of this album is great too. Different but still a great track. Might as well do the whole album top to bottom, it's a concept album like dark side of the Moon.
I really recommend you "Raving and drooling" the live version of "Sheep"
I can't believe you haven't listened pink Floyd before!!!!
