As a lifetime guitarist I can sell you a HUGE musical clue... there will always be " Shred " guitarists... very technical and fast ie. Malmsteen, Rhoades, Van Halen, etc, etc but very few guitarists can play so FEW notes and get the same amount of emotion out if it as David Gilmour. I love the others but Gilmour has a one of a kind ability in " economy " playing.
I think it's more difficult to play Gilmour and get it to sound right...The way he bends notes perfectly is tough to duplicate 100%. When you shred it's easy to cover up and ignore mistakes...Just my $.02..
That’s because Gilmour understands that the music is important as a whole. It’s not about the shredding and going out of the way to make the solo noticeable. It about the solo belonging in the song.
In the book, the dogs represent the police. That is something that has always bother me about this song, but it is one of my favorite ones non the less.
"A classic is a work that has never finished saying what it has to say". - This is the definition of a classic given by Italian writer Italo Calvino. This song corresponds perfectly to this definition, it crosses time without aging.
Nick looks so laid back, chill on the drums. So did Charlie Watts. Despite the "easy" play, their sound was big. Often underrated, but right there with Neil Peart and Bonham who had more aggressive and muscular approach.
And THAT’S why Roger should just shut up and appreciate what he was part of. All of them made his words and music Pink Floyd. Without the rest of the band it’s not the same. Same with the douchbags Don Henley and Glenn Frey
In some other comment somewhere I saw the perfect description of Nick Mason: The Master of the Pause. Sometimes NOT hitting a note has a greater effect, than virtuoso drum fills and crazy rhythm patterns.
‘They take their time with their music and force you to be patient’. What a great way to describe them! Yeah, they don’t hurry. And every time a song takes a turn it always feels like the perfect right time.
OH, Good Lord! I’m so tired of whining. In any event, when I was little, I listened to the Beatles’ albums all the way thru and until Pink Floyd was given to me, I never experienced that with any band. Animals, I listened to 3-times and cranked my stereo up loud enough for my parental units to talk all about the album later at dinner…they loved it too, thank God!! But your’e absolutely right! All-At-Once for the message, and to have the full effect. Thanks for your comment!! ❤❤
She is a certified Floyd Head... she has fallen in the rabbit hole. Love watching her reactions as you can see she genuinely loves all the right parts and cries at the perfect times.She understands the Floyd effect and I love it.
What’s lovely for me and every other PF fan with watching these reaction vids is watching the emotion roll over their face to a solo or a Gilmour vocal and them for the very first time falling in love with the band we’ve all been in love with for years. It’s clear to us all Stacey is a new Floyd fan and that gives me and others so much happiness because you’re now “one of us”. x
I'm 69 and wasn't into Pink Floyd until my son started listening to them, which led me to start realizing what I had been missing for so many years. "Strike into your soul" is absolutely spot on.
I was lucky enough to hear Pink Floyd perform this entire album in concert at Cleveland stadium, with 80,000 friends. It was so much more than a concert…it was a major cultural event. That show will live in my memory forever.
Was also at Cleveland stadium concert and 100% agree that it was the the best audiovisual and out of body experience performance that I have witnessed in my 65 yrs. Of listening to music.
I was also there; June 25th 1977.Cleveland Municipal stadium. There were actually 97,000 people there. That was the reported ticket sales for that concert. Remember their jet flying sooo low over the stadium to open the show? They got fined BIG TIME for that!! They were banned from playing in Cleveland for a long while for that one. The GIANT PIG, The herd of sheep floating down into the crowd shot from cannons in the upper corner of the stadium... THE WHOLE SHOW WAS EPIC!!! Met people there from Buffalo, Detroit, Canada,,and all over Ohio.
The show in Philadelphia on this tour is where Roger Waters had his little bout with hepatitis. Thats where the lyrics for COMFORTABLY NUMB came from!!
More or less the same was also said at that time when people were only listening to disco or whatever was pushed in the charts then. And today its very much the same, there is still crap in the charts, but there is tons of good music out there, just look at bands like Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Lovebites, Ad Infinitum, Ancient Bards, Xandria .. and so on ..
@@beldin2987 Yes, I was probably overgeneralizing. There are still some great artists out there but they seem few and far between. I love Hozier’s music. His lyrics are amazing.
@@brandonwilliams957 I guess your from the US, since most of the real great bands these days are from Europe and people from the US are mostly not aware of the fact that there is a world outside their island. But even back in the days sooo much great bands were from Europe, but at that time mostly from Great Britain, while now its Finnland, Netherland, Germany and even some from Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and so on. Oh and of course also Japan, just watch some stuff from "Lovebites" .. they have become my absolute favorite band in the last 6-7 years.
@@beldin2987yeah but there IS a difference. Back then, you didn’t have to look for good music, it was all around you. These days, you have to hunt it down, because none of it’s mainstream.
@ninja_tony the difference IS that you were basically forced to listen to a bunch of horrendous music back then on the radio and now you get to choose it if you want. A lot of garbage music on the radio in every decade.
I remember being 15 getting stoned with my friends then laying on the bed with the black light on and my headphones on listening to pink floyd. The 70s and 80s were the best
I'm 68 and grew up with pink Floyd . I'm so glad you experienced dogs. The barking was done on Richard wrights key board. As usual Stacey you did a stellar reaction. Keep them coming pretty lady.
Sorta. It is used as an allegory for the human condition. There are definite allusions to animal traits, but also direct human experiences of certain personalities. A definite blend of ideas.
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes, I love the guitar solos. I wish you could see my reaction to your reaction! It takes me back to the first time I heard it.
I feel there's a general gradient to Floyd albums. I loved The Wall as a disobedient youth. In my 20s I was all about Dark Side, Wish You Were Here in my 30s. Now, in my 40s I finally have the patience for Animals.
My favorite was always : " .. and when they turn their backs on you, you will get the chance to put the knife in .. " beside sooo many other great lines and of course all these amazing guitar solos. Its just such a masterpiece.
Sheep - You. The animal not discussed in the modern context is something more like a wolverine. Really pissed off at the bullshit going on, ready to just slay the opposition. FAFO.
@@g54b95 More like a bald eagle; Outwardly representative of the USA, but in reality more scavenger than hunter. Go back to posting pictures of the Joker transposed with Andrew Tate quotes. No one is afraid of your impotent rage.
Hey Stacey, really enjoy your commentary. It's so nice & appreciative watching you innocently absorb all this, especially the fact how young you are. I love music & there is so much out there. Pink Floyd is in a league of their own, always have been & nothing compares to it. Listened to Animals album a 1000 times just as you are back in the day.😎👍🌄
Ohohoh Stacey! I really start loving you more with each day and reaction (you are exactly as emotional as me when it comes to music - and I am a hobby musician of many genres), you do a phantastic job!!!! I was just watching something else on TH-cam and what do I see?! You did Dogs! Oh myyyyy Animals has been my all time fav album since I first heard it in school in 1985. Now I have to tell you a little story: One year later I was in London for a school exchange from our Swiss high school and found out, that this "factory" on the cover was there, but had no idea where exactly. And don't forget, that was before the internet! On my last day in the city I spotted the smokestacks in the background, took a look at the map and saw it: Battersea Power Station. I grabbed my friend who wanted to become a photographer and forced him to come with me to the trip south of the Thames. After a one hour walk through the seediest neighbourhood I ever saw til then (I was a 17 year old Swiss schoolboy :D) we arrived there. It was abandoned, so we climed the fence and took some pics. Since then I regularly came back to London and no trip, if shopping, theater, business related or visting friends is complete for me without visiting "the factory". Nowadays it's not recognizable anymore as it is one of the most posh and modern neighbourhoods of the city. As Dogs is most of Side 1 of the album, you could have done the whole concept with Pigs and Sheep on Side 2 :D
Animals was the first Pink Floyd album I bought. Had never even heard of them . Bought it because it was a cool looking album cover and on the back it said best listened to at maximum volume. It's still my favorite Pink Floyd album. But yet all their albums are my favorite.
Pink Floyd with the accostic guitar is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the electric guitar is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the keyboards is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the Davids Voice is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the drums is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the Sax is gorgeous, Pink Floyd IS GORGEOUS!!!! Greatest Band of all time! PIGS is my favorite on this album, just perfect!
Always an absolute pleasure sharing your reactions to Pink Floyd. You have shown by your reactions that you totally get Pink Floyd. So glad you are enjoying them as we have for so many decades. ❤ from Canada
When this album first came out, my gf and I were at a friend's place listening to music. He didn't have this but asked if we had heard the Pink Floyd Animals album and highly recommended it. Next morning before I woke up, my gf had gone out and bought the record. She came home and started playing it. I woke up like I was still in some kind of dream, the sound was so amazing and hypnotic. Eventually, realizing I was not dreaming, I came out to find out what it was and she showed me the Pink Floyd Animals album cover. It was an amazing experience
That was a great review of a great song. Thanks Stacy! If you're going to react to Pigs On The Wing, I recommend that you combine parts 1 and 2 into one reaction. Thanks again
1977, Soldier Field Chicago. Best concert I've ever seen. Followed closely by Led Zeppelin the same year at The Chicago Stadium. But Pink Floyd......best band ever!!
Pink Floyd becomes a part of your being. I love to see when any age group or other demographic hear pretty much any Floyd song for the first time. You never get tired of hearing Floyd. I'm halfway to 67 and was a young teen when they released their greatest works, and it never gets old. You will cherish your discovery of Pink Floyd. You can hear in their earlier releases how they evolved to finally bless the world with Dark Side of the Moon through the previous release of Meddle which is where they found their unique sound and place in music.. I've been to four Floyd shows, and nothing compares to the seamless precision with each song becoming its own unique sight and sound extravaganza that encapsulates you. Tickets were always reasonably priced, given the incredible technology necessary. They loved their fans. And the tragic story of founding member Syd Barret that started their experimental music journey who was honored in a number of their compositions. I m fortunate to have been a 70's teen to experience probably the largest number of experimental music artists, marking a very historic period that spawned the collective musical genius of bands like Yes, Floyd, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Frank Zappa, Hendrix, and the relationship between The Grateful Dead and their Deadhead fans, making a lifestyle out of following them on their tours. Welcome to the 70's.
Hi Stacey! I'm writing from Milan: I must say thank You so much for letting me "live" Pink Floyd's music again. Experiencing it through Your ears and eyes and heart is ssssso amazing: I haven't missed to see one, two, three, four, many of your videos any given evening since the last week! "When I Come Home Cold and Tired, It's Good To Warm My Bones Beside The Fire": that's how Your videos, Your fresh point of view and Your genuine reactions make me feel. Thank You, thank You, thank You! 🌹🎸🎹
The recurring mention of the “stone” in Pink Floyd’s lyrics carries metaphorical weight. “Learning to Fly”: In this song, the line “unladen, empty, and turned to stone” suggests isolation and the struggle for self-discovery. The “stone” represents the heaviness of the status quo, while the desire to fly symbolizes personal growth and overcoming obstacles. “Dogs”: In the lyrics, “the bad blood slows and turns to stone,” the “stone” signifies burdens or unresolved issues. It’s something that drags you down, akin to a heavy weight. Overall, the “stone” serves as a powerful metaphor for emotional weight, obstacles, and the struggle to break free. Pink Floyd often weaves these evocative symbols into their music, inviting listeners to reflect on deeper meanings.
This bands music is solid like a tree trunk, producing new branches with uniquely beautiful blossoms. I really appreciate how you take your time to give respectful comments and you'd make a great ambassador of their music. Props to another outstanding review by Stacey! You are by far the best reactor of Pink Floyd.
As you said, this is music that makes you listen. All music should be made for listening. This is a lesson lost on the vast majority of modern 'music'. Patience is a virtue in more ways than one.
the lead vocal up to the long instrumental with the dog sounds (done by richard wright's synths) was David Gilmour & after the long break was Roger Waters. This is David Gilmour's best guitar work of any album in my opinion. My 2nd favorite PF album after dark side of the moon, 3rd is Wish You Were Here.
That middle atmospheric part always brings a vivid visual feeling. The self absorbed ruthless guy, with a stone attached, slowing sinking, underwater, I almost hear like a “sonar” sound. For me it represents him sinking, getting lower and lower and more hopeless.
Never get tired of seeing reactors face on the drop. even the ones that go into it expecting not to like this song (unlike yourself of course 😊)glad you’re enjoying..
There are many amazing guitarist's in this world but none can get too you like Dave Gilmour does!!! Sometimes it reaches to your core so much it almost seems he is playing only too you and only for you!!! The man is a genius!!!
The album is bookended with pigs on the wing, but the three primary pieces are each epic in scale and grandeur, each completely different than the other yet flow together seamlessly. Absolutely brilliant
Just want to point out that David Gilmour (the guitarist) sung the first 13 minutes or so of the song, Roger Waters (the bassist) sung the last 5 minutes or so. I think it was Gilmour that sung the parts you liked the most, but Roger Waters also has a very unique singing voice that suits very well what he sings. Btw, he wrote basically all the lyrics that Pink Floyd recorded from Dark Side of the Moon to the Final Cut. I grew up with this music, to me Floyd was always the Shakespeare of rock music, nobody else comes close and their songs are so emotive and intelligent. Love watching you young reactors discover the music that I've loved but taken for granted for so long.
Oh my... Floyd concert, 7 May 1977, Anaheim Stadium, sitting up in the nosebleed seats with my crush at the time, light mist of rain coming down... the barking dogs and the "stone stone stone" came floating across the crowd on the trademark Floyd spatial sound system... perfect atmosphere making for a somehow perfect moment I still remember vividly 47 years later. Or maybe you had to have been there lol.
I have loved this album since the first time I heard it (in the 70s). In the "deserted island" scenario, if I could only have ONE full album for the whole time I was there, it would be Animals. About a 40-way tie for second place. A cynic's profound wisdom... "You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to... so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in." Wow. One of my favorite lines EVER! Gilmour's guitar work is f-ing spectacular here. Maybe his best ever. He makes it wail. Soul searching. Relaxation. Reflection. Introspection. Suspicion. Doubt. Fear. Anger. Despair. Resignation. He can make us feel ALL of it! Just incredible. And YOU picking up on describing them as, "...so experimental, but so intentional at the same time..." THAT, young lady, demonstrates wisdom beyond your years! Stacey, your Floyd reactions have been wonderful! I really enjoy "proof" that their music appeals across the ages and TO all ages! Great reaction, Stacey! Thank you!
Atom Heart Mother was my introduction to Pink Floyd. I'm 63 now, and still many times musically, only Pink Floyd will suffice. The fact that PF can deep dive into subjects like death, human struggle, insanity and addiction, war and corruption yet wrap it in such beautiful music is magnificent and unique. They soothe my soul and I hope yours also.
Hi Stacey saw Pink Floyd live at the Stafford showground in 1977 they used the showground so they could have the inflatable animals floating above the stage. It seemed quite normal at that time for Pink Floyd to have inflatable pigs, floating over the concert arena.
I’ve always loved that transition where the word “stone” slowly becomes a siren. It happens so smoothly you can’t even tell when one ends and the other begins, it’s masterfully done.
in may 1977 i was a casual pink floyd fan,mostly stuff from "the dark side of the moon" and a few other songs i had heard on the radio. then a few days before my 16th birthday my friend said,"pink floyd is playing at anaheim (california) stadium tonight. we should go." that night turned me from a casual fan into an obsessed one. they played animals all the way through,plus stuff from "wish you were here" and "dark side". we sat on the outfield grass passing around joints,and sharing food with other fans. it was a very communal experience. the next day i went out and bought "animals",and throughout that summer i got every album in their back catalog,immersing myself in their music. to say that night at the concert 47 years ago this month changed me is an understatement. my eyes were fully opened for the first time in my life. i went back to school in september with a completely different outlook on the world,people and especially music. thank you,scott where ever you are today.
Watching the *Manner* in which you enjoyed this song tells me you're ready for the group YES. I believe they would become an instant favorite for you if you haven't already turned on to them
I saw Pink Floyd Animals Tour live in Tampa Stadium, Tampa Fla. back in the day! They had speakers on all four sides and a big pig floating over the stage, the ticket said "An Even of Sight and Sound with Pink Floyd" 😎
"Who was trained not to spit in the fan".... later, Roger spits ON a fan on the last date of the Animals tour 😂😂😂😂 (he also got the idea for The Wall album after that)
Love your reaction and enjoying vicariously your first listen to Dogs from Animals. My first listen to Pink Floyd was after riding my bicycle (too young to drive) to buy the album Dark Side of the Moon when it came out. I have been getting so much joy essentially rediscovering this music that I first heard as a young person through the reactions of young people today listening for the first time. Our collective experience of Pink Floyd indeed renders their music "timeless", and in essence bonds our generations to a degree. Thanks for featuring Pink Floyd, I really enjoyed it. Great insight by the way regarding what you said about how Pink Floyd brings you along at their pace which you have to be patient with, but always worth the reward.
Where do I start with this masterpiece. It has been deeply ingrained life for 20 years. When I was in high school I would go to sleep to this song playing on my surround sound I built in my bedroom every night for years. It was part of my nighttime ritual. It is up there as one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs ever. More recently however I played this song while I was putting to sleep my beloved 16yo pit Bull Bean Sprout. I haven’t been able to listen to the song since that day 6 months ago. Thank you Stacey for helping reintroduce it back into my life with such appreciation and joy. This song NEVER gets old and is the definition of infectious. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of this incredible album. BTW please research Roger Waters, he is the brain child of nearly all Pink Floyd and half the vocal genius on this song. He also wrote the whole album.
For someone who claims to not know much about music, you certainly seem to "get" Pink Floyd pretty quickly. Your insight is remarkable, and I love how you immerse yourself, sharing your genuine feelings without hesitation. Please, keep on doing what you're doing - you're becoming one of my favorite "reactors"!
Funny part about that scene was it was during the part of the song AFTER the barking dog effect had already stopped sounding like a dog and was more obviously morphed into choppy organ chords, but still sounded like distant barking.
That outro has got to be one of the greatest of all time. !!!! “Who was trained not to spit in the fan..”. Wow! You go Stacey, I envy you. I wish I could hear this masterpiece for the first time again.
Love Stacy's reviews and reactions and excitement at the music by Pink Floyd the best band on the planet .As Stacy says you never know what to expect from them every track is creative and nothing like any other band has done .the younger generation are now discovering pink floyd and like their music and even learning to play their solos ..
I really love to watch how you react for the first time to the music of my childhood. To see your reactions is like remembering THAT irrepetible sensation I had the first time I heard this. I was like 13 or 14 y.o. Now I'm 54. Greetings from Spain (sorry for my bad English), keep enjoying good music!
Some context of the album Animals and the songs meanings: Loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, the album's lyrics describe various classes in society as different kinds of animals: the predatory dogs, the despotic ruthless pigs, and the "mindless and unquestioning” herd of sheep. Whereas the novella focuses on Stalinism, the album is a critique of capitalism and differs again in that the sheep eventually rise up to overpower the dogs. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which, in the words of author Glenn Povey, "described the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of mere animals" These dogs are the cutthroat businessmen who feel they “have to be trusted by the people that [they] lie to / So that when they turn their backs on [the dogs] / [they]'ll get the chance to put the knife in”.
One of the the components to the music is it's time of release . Their albums and these songs had so much more to them as they come out ! I mean even now they still have their punch, as we see with you as you take your trip with them, but just imagine that extra push over the cliff to feel these songs in that time and how we were feeling at the time ! I can't explain to you how much more emotion and stella feelings we all got ! I love seeing you react as you take your journey with Pink Floyd. In a sneaky way its like trying to remember when i first heard these songs, and seeing your face and hearing makes me go back and try imaging me again when that needle first touched the vinyl waiting with excitement as to what was to come ! Alot of people listen to Pink Floyd , but you need to open up and feel their music, as that's when you really get it ! I can see that you feel it and get it also . You have so much ahead of you, it's like a kid at Christmas time ready to open up your presents. I will be here waiting and watching for your next Pink Floyd encounter, just like that kid at Christmas with the next present in my hand lol ! I would be thrilled to see you react to Welcome To The Machine ( studio ) if you get a chance. Sorry for the novel, but Pink Floyd has been such an experience for me, to see someone also taking the journey for the first time is like a play back for me, another ride ha ha ! Cheers from Australia 😎✌
Thank you soooo much for this journey your on and sharing it. I can't remember the last time I heard this song. What a flood of memories it brings back. Made my eyes wet thinking of my teenage freinds and all the stupid things we did. Hendricks, Joplin, the dead, ELO, Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, oh god, just sooo much amazing music. So many crazy concerts. I want to do it all again right now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I like the albumcover. It's Battersea Power Station in London. You can see a pig floating between the chimneys. They had a giant inflatable pig on a rope for a photo, but the rope snapped and the pig went up in the sky, later reported by a pilot...
Hi Stacey, first time viewer here. Apparently, the YT algorithms presented me with a gift! As a decades-long pink Floyd fan, I couldn't resist when I saw a "Dogs" reaction. I will definitely be watching more of your vids. So glad to hear that you really get this band and enjoy the experience.
I saw an interview with David Gilmour where he said that Animals album is his favourite guitar tone out of all the Pink Floyd albums. I enjoyed your reaction and hope you do more Floyd soon.
As a lifetime guitarist I can sell you a HUGE musical clue... there will always be " Shred " guitarists... very technical and fast ie.

I believe David said it's not about how many notes you play it's how you play a single note.
I think it's more difficult to play Gilmour and get it to sound right...The way he bends notes perfectly is tough to duplicate 100%. When you shred it's easy to cover up and ignore mistakes...Just my $.02..
less is more
Well said
That’s because Gilmour understands that the music is important as a whole. It’s not about the shredding and going out of the way to make the solo noticeable. It about the solo belonging in the song.
Every guitar wants a Dave Gilmour for Xmas.
Every guitar wants a Dave Gilmour for every minute of every day in the future of humankind and the universe.
Brilliant comment. 😄
@@scottbarr2889 dude how high have you been

Genius.
Dogs are businessmen , Pigs are politicians and we the people are the sheep. We are all living in that world.
It will always recycle and repeat!
High school never ends
@@timw8398 👍
In the book, the dogs represent the police. That is something that has always bother me about this song, but it is one of my favorite ones non the less.
I prefer to think of them as:
Pigs: Upper class
Dogs: Middle class
Sheep: Lower/Working class
It's amazing that this was released 47 years ago and it's STILL cutting edge.
"A classic is a work that has never finished saying what it has to say". - This is the definition of a classic given by Italian writer Italo Calvino.
This song corresponds perfectly to this definition, it crosses time without aging.
@thepragmatic6383 great explanation
Bravo
The production of Pink Floyd albums has always been impeccable. You can't tell the albums were recorded 5 decades ago.
I'm 66, and never get tired of Floyd. If I had to pick one artist to listen to till death, it would be Floyd.
Nick Mason’s drumming is so fabulous,he’s such an unsung hero so thank you for noticing the great man
Nick looks so laid back, chill on the drums. So did Charlie Watts. Despite the "easy" play, their sound was big. Often underrated, but right there with Neil Peart and Bonham who had more aggressive and muscular approach.
Every member of Pink Floyd is phenomenal.
And THAT’S why Roger should just shut up and appreciate what he was part of. All of them made his words and music Pink Floyd. Without the rest of the band it’s not the same. Same with the douchbags Don Henley and Glenn Frey

"what I love about Pink Floyd - they force you to be patient" What a great observation - and so true!
But they always pay off!
‘They take their time with their music and force you to be patient’. What a great way to describe them! Yeah, they don’t hurry. And every time a song takes a turn it always feels like the perfect right time.
The original "jam" band.
Maybe think of it as musical foreplay for the ears.
It's a hallmark of a great bluesman too, they always take their time when they can, and it's often magnificent.
Well said Anthony
Yes, Anthony, Pink Floyd is way too complicated for someone with an attention span of a gnat.......
Some of the best guitar solos he has done. Just beautiful. Each note played so amazingly and perfectly that they almost seem inevitable.
animals is absolutely the 1 album u have to listen to in its entirety its about society
Or not!
Three types in this world, Pigs, Dogs, or Sheep. In Roger's view anyway.
Another one telling someone what they have to listen to. You people are sad.
OH, Good Lord!
I’m so tired of whining. In any event, when I was little, I listened to the Beatles’ albums all the way thru and until Pink Floyd was given to me, I never experienced that with any band.

I call fans FLOYDHEART
What’s lovely for me and every other PF fan with watching these reaction vids is watching the emotion roll over their face to a solo or a Gilmour vocal and them for the very first time falling in love with the band we’ve all been in love with for years. It’s clear to us all Stacey is a new Floyd fan and that gives me and others so much happiness because you’re now “one of us”. x
Bravo!!
I'm a 63 yr old man Floyd fan all of my life .Thank you for coming into our world.They stike into your soul .
65 here... I agree completely!
Same! Never gets old, unlike us, huh guys! Hahaha
I'm 69 and wasn't into Pink Floyd until my son started listening to them, which led me to start realizing what I had been missing for so many years. "Strike into your soul" is absolutely spot on.
I'm 60 and have been following pink floyd for 50 years. I
put on my Dark side of the moon T on often long live the Floyd
61, and I couldn't agree more. They are still my favorite band, and it was really hard to have a favorite growing up back then.
Animals is one of Pink Floyds quintessential albums. Best listened to from beginning to end. Rock On Stacey!! ❤
Girl, you are me hearing Dogs for the first time years ago. And 1000 times later, I am loving it more and more...Wow! What a masterpiece!
Pink Floyd is not music, is an experience of life...
With your permission, your excellent comment would be even better if you had written "Pink Floyd is not just music, is an experience of life".
@@Gerardius Sorry, English is not my native language but thanks for your suggestion...
Floyd should be a religion
😂😂😂😂😂
Most bands from that era were an experience. A MUSICAL one.
I was lucky enough to hear Pink Floyd perform this entire album in concert at Cleveland stadium, with 80,000 friends. It was so much more than a concert…it was a major cultural event. That show will live in my memory forever.
Was also at Cleveland stadium concert and 100% agree that it was the the best audiovisual and out of body experience performance that I have witnessed in my 65 yrs. Of listening to music.
I was also there; June 25th 1977.Cleveland Municipal stadium. There were actually 97,000 people there. That was the reported ticket sales for that concert. Remember their jet flying sooo low over the stadium to open the show? They got fined BIG TIME for that!! They were banned from playing in Cleveland for a long while for that one. The GIANT PIG, The herd of sheep floating down into the crowd shot from cannons in the upper corner of the stadium... THE WHOLE SHOW WAS EPIC!!! Met people there from Buffalo, Detroit, Canada,,and all over Ohio.
There is a recording of the whole concert on TH-cam. The in the flesh tour Cleveland 1977.
The show in Philadelphia on this tour is where Roger Waters had his little bout with hepatitis. Thats where the lyrics for COMFORTABLY NUMB came from!!
I saw them in early 78 in Rotterdam play this album. The giant pig got stuck halfway over the crowd.
Current music is so formulaic. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin among other bands during that time produced art.
More or less the same was also said at that time when people were only listening to disco or whatever was pushed in the charts then. And today its very much the same, there is still crap in the charts, but there is tons of good music out there, just look at bands like Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Lovebites, Ad Infinitum, Ancient Bards, Xandria .. and so on ..
@@beldin2987 Yes, I was probably overgeneralizing. There are still some great artists out there but they seem few and far between. I love Hozier’s music. His lyrics are amazing.
@@brandonwilliams957 I guess your from the US, since most of the real great bands these days are from Europe and people from the US are mostly not aware of the fact that there is a world outside their island.
But even back in the days sooo much great bands were from Europe, but at that time mostly from Great Britain, while now its Finnland, Netherland, Germany and even some from Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and so on. Oh and of course also Japan, just watch some stuff from "Lovebites" .. they have become my absolute favorite band in the last 6-7 years.
@@beldin2987yeah but there IS a difference. Back then, you didn’t have to look for good music, it was all around you. These days, you have to hunt it down, because none of it’s mainstream.
@ninja_tony the difference IS that you were basically forced to listen to a bunch of horrendous music back then on the radio and now you get to choose it if you want. A lot of garbage music on the radio in every decade.
I love how their long songs weave in the middle of it. And then it comes back to the main melody.
I remember being 15 getting stoned with my friends then laying on the bed with the black light on and my headphones on listening to pink floyd. The 70s and 80s were the best
Lucky weren't we grandad?

My kinda man
I really enjoyed being 20 in the 70s, especially since being 70 in the 20s is such a shit-fest !

@@DavidImpatief as long as you think I'm right, sure.
I'm 68 and grew up with pink Floyd . I'm so glad you experienced dogs. The barking was done on Richard wrights key board. As usual Stacey you did a stellar reaction. Keep them coming pretty lady.
Stacey, this album is based on George Orwell's novella, " Animal Farm "
Sorta. It is used as an allegory for the human condition. There are definite allusions to animal traits, but also direct human experiences of certain personalities. A definite blend of ideas.
Yeah... "inspired by" would be more accurate.
Genius!
@CorwinPatrick As is the book "Animal Farm".
"They force you to be patient", an amazing description of the magic that's only Pink Floyd. Great job Stacey!
These sounds were made by the wonderful Richard Wright, the keyboardist/pianist
Richard Wright gave me a tape copy of DSOTM, OK a different Richard Wright but it was his name.
And real animals
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes, I love the guitar solos. I wish you could see my reaction to your reaction! It takes me back to the first time I heard it.
My favorite Pink Floyd Album !
I feel there's a general gradient to Floyd albums. I loved The Wall as a disobedient youth. In my 20s I was all about Dark Side, Wish You Were Here in my 30s. Now, in my 40s I finally have the patience for Animals.
" and it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around"
What a lyric!
One of Waters' best
Indeed
My favorite was always :
" .. and when they turn their backs on you, you will get the chance to put the knife in .. "
beside sooo many other great lines and of course all these amazing guitar solos. Its just such a masterpiece.
This is where the groove gets so funky. I wish they played the groove in this lyric just a few more bars
A really strong gut punch indeed.
My heart rate genuinely increased when I realized that you finally reacted to Dogs! Definitely my favorite Pink Floyd song!
Same, brother. Same.
Pink Floyd is therapy for mature adults.
No other band remotely like them and thank F for that.
Yet ANOTHER iconic British mega band.
I first heard this song when it was called Gotta Be Crazy on their British winter tour 1974. They also did Raving & Drooling which later became Sheep.
Pigs - Elite politicians and oligarchs. Dogs - Ruthless businessmen. Sheep - Us.
what he said
there are no other type of 'businessman' they are all crooks, or they are failures. You should never trust one.
Sheep - You. The animal not discussed in the modern context is something more like a wolverine. Really pissed off at the bullshit going on, ready to just slay the opposition. FAFO.
@@g54b95 More like a bald eagle; Outwardly representative of the USA, but in reality more scavenger than hunter. Go back to posting pictures of the Joker transposed with Andrew Tate quotes. No one is afraid of your impotent rage.
@@g54b95 I second the motion!
Hey Stacey, really enjoy your commentary. It's so nice & appreciative watching you innocently absorb all this, especially the fact how young you are. I love music & there is so much out there. Pink Floyd is in a league of their own, always have been & nothing compares to it. Listened to Animals album a 1000 times just as you are back in the day.😎👍🌄
Ohohoh Stacey! I really start loving you more with each day and reaction (you are exactly as emotional as me when it comes to music - and I am a hobby musician of many genres), you do a phantastic job!!!! I was just watching something else on TH-cam and what do I see?! You did Dogs! Oh myyyyy Animals has been my all time fav album since I first heard it in school in 1985. Now I have to tell you a little story:
One year later I was in London for a school exchange from our Swiss high school and found out, that this "factory" on the cover was there, but had no idea where exactly. And don't forget, that was before the internet! On my last day in the city I spotted the smokestacks in the background, took a look at the map and saw it: Battersea Power Station. I grabbed my friend who wanted to become a photographer and forced him to come with me to the trip south of the Thames. After a one hour walk through the seediest neighbourhood I ever saw til then (I was a 17 year old Swiss schoolboy :D) we arrived there. It was abandoned, so we climed the fence and took some pics. Since then I regularly came back to London and no trip, if shopping, theater, business related or visting friends is complete for me without visiting "the factory". Nowadays it's not recognizable anymore as it is one of the most posh and modern neighbourhoods of the city.
As Dogs is most of Side 1 of the album, you could have done the whole concept with Pigs and Sheep on Side 2 :D
Animals was the first Pink Floyd album I bought. Had never even heard of them . Bought it because it was a cool looking album cover and on the back it said best listened to at maximum volume. It's still my favorite Pink Floyd album. But yet all their albums are my favorite.
Pink Floyd with the accostic guitar is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the electric guitar is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the keyboards is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the Davids Voice is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the drums is gorgeous, Pink Floyd with the Sax is gorgeous, Pink Floyd IS GORGEOUS!!!! Greatest Band of all time! PIGS is my favorite on this album, just perfect!
Always an absolute pleasure sharing your reactions to Pink Floyd. You have shown by your reactions that you totally get Pink Floyd. So glad you are enjoying them as we have for so many decades. ❤ from Canada
Thank you so much for your support and generosity!! Your kind words mean so much!
When this album first came out, my gf and I were at a friend's place listening to music. He didn't have this but asked if we had heard the Pink Floyd Animals album and highly recommended it. Next morning before I woke up, my gf had gone out and bought the record. She came home and started playing it. I woke up like I was still in some kind of dream, the sound was so amazing and hypnotic. Eventually, realizing I was not dreaming, I came out to find out what it was and she showed me the Pink Floyd Animals album cover. It was an amazing experience
I can totally relate to your experience
That was a great review of a great song. Thanks Stacy! If you're going to react to Pigs On The Wing, I recommend that you combine parts 1 and 2 into one reaction. Thanks again
Wow thank you for your support ❤️ thank you for the suggestion!!
1977, Soldier Field Chicago.
Best concert I've ever seen. Followed closely by Led Zeppelin the same year at
The Chicago Stadium.
But Pink Floyd......best band ever!!
Pink Floyd becomes a part of your being.
I love to see when any age group or other demographic hear pretty much any Floyd song for the first time.
You never get tired of hearing Floyd. I'm halfway to 67 and was a young teen when they released their greatest works, and it never gets old.
You will cherish your discovery of Pink Floyd.
You can hear in their earlier releases how they evolved to finally bless the world with Dark Side of the Moon through the previous release of Meddle which is where they found their unique sound and place in music.. I've been to four Floyd shows, and nothing compares to the seamless precision with each song becoming its own unique sight and sound extravaganza that encapsulates you.
Tickets were always reasonably priced, given the incredible technology necessary. They loved their fans.
And the tragic story of founding member Syd Barret that started their experimental music journey who was honored in a number of their compositions.
I m fortunate to have been a 70's teen to experience probably the largest number of experimental music artists, marking a very historic period that spawned the collective musical genius of bands like Yes, Floyd, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Frank Zappa, Hendrix, and the relationship between The Grateful Dead and their Deadhead fans, making a lifestyle out of following them on their tours.
Welcome to the 70's.
Hi Stacey! I'm writing from Milan: I must say thank You so much for letting me "live" Pink Floyd's music again. Experiencing it through Your ears and eyes and heart is ssssso amazing: I haven't missed to see one, two, three, four, many of your videos any given evening since the last week! "When I Come Home Cold and Tired, It's Good To Warm My Bones Beside The Fire": that's how Your videos, Your fresh point of view and Your genuine reactions make me feel. Thank You, thank You, thank You! 🌹🎸🎹
David Gilmour has a new single. Piper's Call. Still recording new album at the age of 78 years old.
I love playing this song when my dogs are in the room, they always react to the barking/howling sounds while the acoustic is playing.....
If my cat is at home,she stares me down with the most annoyed expression.😾 Like,why tf.are you putting on this when I'm trying to sleep? 🐈
Same!!! Hahaha
The recurring mention of the “stone” in Pink Floyd’s lyrics carries metaphorical weight.
“Learning to Fly”: In this song, the line “unladen, empty, and turned to stone” suggests isolation and the struggle for self-discovery. The “stone” represents the heaviness of the status quo, while the desire to fly symbolizes personal growth and overcoming obstacles.
“Dogs”: In the lyrics, “the bad blood slows and turns to stone,” the “stone” signifies burdens or unresolved issues. It’s something that drags you down, akin to a heavy weight.
Overall, the “stone” serves as a powerful metaphor for emotional weight, obstacles, and the struggle to break free. Pink Floyd often weaves these evocative symbols into their music, inviting listeners to reflect on deeper meanings.
This bands music is solid like a tree trunk, producing new branches with uniquely beautiful blossoms.
I really appreciate how you take your time to give respectful comments and you'd make a great ambassador of their music. Props to another outstanding review by Stacey! You are by far the best reactor of Pink Floyd.
thank you so much for your kind words!!
As you said, this is music that makes you listen. All music should be made for listening. This is a lesson lost on the vast majority of modern 'music'. Patience is a virtue in more ways than one.
the lead vocal up to the long instrumental with the dog sounds (done by richard wright's synths) was David Gilmour & after the long break was Roger Waters. This is David Gilmour's best guitar work of any album in my opinion. My 2nd favorite PF album after dark side of the moon, 3rd is Wish You Were Here.
"the song is a journey" That is a GREAT way to put it
That middle atmospheric part always brings a vivid visual feeling. The self absorbed ruthless guy, with a stone attached, slowing sinking, underwater, I almost hear like a “sonar” sound. For me it represents him sinking, getting lower and lower and more hopeless.
Never get tired of seeing reactors face on the drop. even the ones that go into it expecting not to like this song (unlike yourself of course 😊)glad you’re enjoying..
And "Mother" also from The Wall, made me cry so much... how much I cried with that song...
Greetings from Miami. Your reaction to Dogs is great! Please check out the Pulse live version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Thank you so much!!! I’m just now seeing this ❤️ appreciate your generosity!!
Go Stacey...astute reaction. . I Love this album...it's Nick Mason's best work and Rick Wright is in top form.
BEST SONG ON THIS ICONIC ALBUM. So proud of you analyzing lyrics now. Your growing.
When the song switches up and that guitar solo drops.....my god
There are many amazing guitarist's in this world but none can get too you like Dave Gilmour does!!! Sometimes it reaches to your core so much it almost seems he is playing only too you and only for you!!! The man is a genius!!!
David is truly a wonderful man. Spends alot of his time helping the needy and used to teach disabled kids guitar
Lyrics are amazing! "If I don't stand my own ground..how can I find my way out of this maze?!"
To be true to the album, "Pigs(Three different Ones)" should be your next Animals reaction. I would love to hear it.
Yep pigs is by far my favorite from this album
she should also read the lyrics while listening to it
YES!
"Experimental but intentional" - quite possibly the most profound 3 word sentence you could make about Pink Floyd. What an insight!
The album is bookended with pigs on the wing, but the three primary pieces are each epic in scale and grandeur, each completely different than the other yet flow together seamlessly. Absolutely brilliant
Just want to point out that David Gilmour (the guitarist) sung the first 13 minutes or so of the song, Roger Waters (the bassist) sung the last 5 minutes or so. I think it was Gilmour that sung the parts you liked the most, but Roger Waters also has a very unique singing voice that suits very well what he sings. Btw, he wrote basically all the lyrics that Pink Floyd recorded from Dark Side of the Moon to the Final Cut. I grew up with this music, to me Floyd was always the Shakespeare of rock music, nobody else comes close and their songs are so emotive and intelligent. Love watching you young reactors discover the music that I've loved but taken for granted for so long.
My favorite Pink Floyd song. David's guitar playing in this is amazing.
Oh my... Floyd concert, 7 May 1977, Anaheim Stadium, sitting up in the nosebleed seats with my crush at the time, light mist of rain coming down... the barking dogs and the "stone stone stone" came floating across the crowd on the trademark Floyd spatial sound system... perfect atmosphere making for a somehow perfect moment I still remember vividly 47 years later. Or maybe you had to have been there lol.
who was given a pat on the back who was breaking away from the pack lyrics are amazing
I have loved this album since the first time I heard it (in the 70s). In the "deserted island" scenario, if I could only have ONE full album for the whole time I was there, it would be Animals. About a 40-way tie for second place. A cynic's profound wisdom... "You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to... so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in." Wow. One of my favorite lines EVER! Gilmour's guitar work is f-ing spectacular here. Maybe his best ever. He makes it wail. Soul searching. Relaxation. Reflection. Introspection. Suspicion. Doubt. Fear. Anger. Despair. Resignation. He can make us feel ALL of it! Just incredible. And YOU picking up on describing them as, "...so experimental, but so intentional at the same time..." THAT, young lady, demonstrates wisdom beyond your years! Stacey, your Floyd reactions have been wonderful! I really enjoy "proof" that their music appeals across the ages and TO all ages! Great reaction, Stacey! Thank you!
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album, I saw Les Claypool and his band perform it in its entirety last year and it was brilliant.
Atom Heart Mother was my introduction to Pink Floyd. I'm 63 now, and still many times musically, only Pink Floyd will suffice. The fact that PF can deep dive into subjects like death, human struggle, insanity and addiction, war and corruption yet wrap it in such beautiful music is magnificent and unique. They soothe my soul and I hope yours also.
The album is PF’s take on Orwell’s “Animal Farm”. Great job, Stacey!
Hi Stacey saw Pink Floyd live at the Stafford showground in 1977 they used the showground so they could have the inflatable animals floating above the stage. It seemed quite normal at that time for Pink Floyd to have inflatable pigs, floating over the concert arena.
commentary on society class , David sang the first part, Roger sang the2nd half
I’ve always loved that transition where the word “stone” slowly becomes a siren. It happens so smoothly you can’t even tell when one ends and the other begins, it’s masterfully done.
some of the best guitar work period
Thanks!
Thank you!!!❤️
When you're old like me, this song has different meaning. Life is so short. Then you have to join the rest
I hear ya, friends of mine, when I had this 8-track are now dropping left and right, so sad. . .
in may 1977 i was a casual pink floyd fan,mostly stuff from "the dark side of the moon" and a few other songs i had heard on the radio. then a few days before my 16th birthday my friend said,"pink floyd is playing at anaheim (california) stadium tonight. we should go." that night turned me from a casual fan into an obsessed one. they played animals all the way through,plus stuff from "wish you were here" and "dark side". we sat on the outfield grass passing around joints,and sharing food with other fans. it was a very communal experience. the next day i went out and bought "animals",and throughout that summer i got every album in their back catalog,immersing myself in their music. to say that night at the concert 47 years ago this month changed me is an understatement. my eyes were fully opened for the first time in my life. i went back to school in september with a completely different outlook on the world,people and especially music. thank you,scott where ever you are today.
Watching the *Manner* in which you enjoyed this song tells me you're ready for the group YES. I believe they would become an instant favorite for you if you haven't already turned on to them
Owner of a lonely heart wow
@@markbright684 That is great song, but I feel their true masterpiece is Roundabout.
Peter Gabriel genesis?
I would go with. "And You And I", "South Side Of The Sky"
Siberian Khatru
Great reaction, Stacey. You said something about Pink Floyd that really resonated with me.. 'distinct and unique'. Love that!
I saw Pink Floyd Animals Tour live in Tampa Stadium, Tampa Fla. back in the day! They had speakers on all four sides and a big pig floating over the stage, the ticket said "An Even of Sight and Sound with Pink Floyd" 😎
I saw this concert in Montreal in the late 70"s
Same in Denver! Outdoors! AMAZING!
My brother was at that concert. I wasn't invited. He's 10 yrs older than me and took a girl.
"Who was trained not to spit in the fan".... later, Roger spits ON a fan on the last date of the Animals tour 😂😂😂😂 (he also got the idea for The Wall album after that)
Animals came out when I was in high school and is still one of my favorite albums of all time
Animals was released the day after I was born.
Love your reaction and enjoying vicariously your first listen to Dogs from Animals. My first listen to Pink Floyd was after riding my bicycle (too young to drive) to buy the album Dark Side of the Moon when it came out. I have been getting so much joy essentially rediscovering this music that I first heard as a young person through the reactions of young people today listening for the first time.
Our collective experience of Pink Floyd indeed renders their music "timeless", and in essence bonds our generations to a degree. Thanks for featuring Pink Floyd, I really enjoyed it.
Great insight by the way regarding what you said about how Pink Floyd brings you along at their pace which you have to be patient with, but always worth the reward.
Where do I start with this masterpiece. It has been deeply ingrained life for 20 years. When I was in high school I would go to sleep to this song playing on my surround sound I built in my bedroom every night for years. It was part of my nighttime ritual. It is up there as one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs ever. More recently however I played this song while I was putting to sleep my beloved 16yo pit Bull Bean Sprout. I haven’t been able to listen to the song since that day 6 months ago. Thank you Stacey for helping reintroduce it back into my life with such appreciation and joy. This song NEVER gets old and is the definition of infectious. I can’t wait to see your reaction to the rest of this incredible album. BTW please research Roger Waters, he is the brain child of nearly all Pink Floyd and half the vocal genius on this song. He also wrote the whole album.
10:19 The look on your face when you realize you're only halfway through and are curious for more, priceless.
Us and Them through Eclipse Live at Pulse was brilliant.
For someone who claims to not know much about music, you certainly seem to "get" Pink Floyd pretty quickly. Your insight is remarkable, and I love how you immerse yourself, sharing your genuine feelings without hesitation. Please, keep on doing what you're doing - you're becoming one of my favorite "reactors"!
You're right I saw Stacey learn a lot about Pink Floyd in about 8 months! Now she knows more about PF than anybody.
*Mr. Carlson (Station Manager):* "Do I hear dogs barking on that thing?"
*Dr. Johnny Fever (DJ):* "I do...."
_-WKRP In Cincinnati_
Funny part about that scene was it was during the part of the song AFTER the barking dog effect had already stopped sounding like a dog and was more obviously morphed into choppy organ chords, but still sounded like distant barking.
That outro has got to be one of the greatest of all time. !!!!
“Who was trained not to spit in the fan..”. Wow!
You go Stacey, I envy you. I wish I could hear this masterpiece for the first time again.
Beautiful the barking and the cry of young dogs created by Wright with synth from 13:50. Great.
One of the best Floyd albums. Animals got lost due to great albums they created such as Dark Side of the moon, Wish you were here, and The Wall
When PF were shooting the album cover, the pig took flight, flew out of London, and eventually landed in a field in Kent.
Actually shut down London Heathrow Airport for a bit
HA! BRILLIANT!!!😂
And a very puzzled farmer found it!
Love Stacy's reviews and reactions and excitement at the music by Pink Floyd the best band on the planet .As Stacy says you never know what to expect from them every track is creative and nothing like any other band has done .the younger generation are now discovering pink floyd and like their music and even learning to play their solos ..
15/7/89 I was in venice for the best concert fovever, but listen dark side and echoes, legendary music
I really love to watch how you react for the first time to the music of my childhood. To see your reactions is like remembering THAT irrepetible sensation I had the first time I heard this. I was like 13 or 14 y.o. Now I'm 54. Greetings from Spain (sorry for my bad English), keep enjoying good music!
Some context of the album Animals and the songs meanings:
Loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, the album's lyrics describe various classes in society as different kinds of animals: the predatory dogs, the despotic ruthless pigs, and the "mindless and unquestioning” herd of sheep. Whereas the novella focuses on Stalinism, the album is a critique of capitalism and differs again in that the sheep eventually rise up to overpower the dogs. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which, in the words of author Glenn Povey, "described the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of mere animals"
These dogs are the cutthroat businessmen who feel they “have to be trusted by the people that [they] lie to / So that when they turn their backs on [the dogs] / [they]'ll get the chance to put the knife in”.
So loosely based that they pretty much have opposite messages regarding who the bad guys are....
Thank you.Somebody knows what the albums about.Finally take care daryl in chicago
One of the the components to the music is it's time of release . Their albums and these songs had so much more to them as they come out !
I mean even now they still have their punch, as we see with you as you take your trip with them, but just imagine that extra push over the cliff to feel these songs in that time and how we were feeling at the time ! I can't explain to you how much more emotion and stella feelings we all got !
I love seeing you react as you take your journey with Pink Floyd. In a sneaky way its like trying to remember when i first heard these songs, and seeing your face and hearing makes me go back and try imaging me again when that needle first touched the vinyl waiting with excitement as to what was to come !
Alot of people listen to Pink Floyd , but you need to open up and feel their music, as that's when you really get it !
I can see that you feel it and get it also . You have so much ahead of you, it's like a kid at Christmas time ready to open up your presents.
I will be here waiting and watching for your next Pink Floyd encounter, just like that kid at Christmas with the next present in my hand lol !
I would be thrilled to see you react to Welcome To The Machine ( studio ) if you get a chance.
Sorry for the novel, but Pink Floyd has been such an experience for me, to see someone also taking the journey for the first time is like a play back for me, another ride ha ha !
Cheers from Australia 😎✌
Welcome to The Machine - Pink Floyd is a Dark Band, there music reflects hard times and the difficulties of life.
Thank you soooo much for this journey your on and sharing it. I can't remember the last time I heard this song. What a flood of memories it brings back. Made my eyes wet thinking of my teenage freinds and all the stupid things we did. Hendricks, Joplin, the dead, ELO, Genesis, Yes, Jethro Tull, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, oh god, just sooo much amazing music. So many crazy concerts. I want to do it all again right now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I like the albumcover. It's Battersea Power Station in London. You can see a pig floating between the chimneys. They had a giant inflatable pig on a rope for a photo, but the rope snapped and the pig went up in the sky, later reported by a pilot...
Hi Stacey, first time viewer here. Apparently, the YT algorithms presented me with a gift! As a decades-long pink Floyd fan, I couldn't resist when I saw a "Dogs" reaction. I will definitely be watching more of your vids. So glad to hear that you really get this band and enjoy the experience.
I saw an interview with David Gilmour where he said that Animals album is his favourite guitar tone out of all the Pink Floyd albums. I enjoyed your reaction and hope you do more Floyd soon.
