and after this they did the album "Wish You Were Here" celibating the life of Syd Barrett but also mourning him becoming lost to mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse
Where the heart meets the mind! Never was music so cerebral and yet so infused with such raw emotion and primal sensitivity. Surely the pinnacle of the rock music age.
It's a journey through life - from the heartbeat of a baby in the womb at the beginning, through their possible lives, loves, fights, wars, greed, mental struggles and eventual death, it's a journey on the human condition we all go through and feel.
Honestly, for this album, listening to it in its entirety is the best way to really appreciate it. And then do it again and again for decades. You will still get something out of it every time.
Absolute Masterpiece. I bought my original Vinyl Album on the day it was released, in 1973. I was 17. And I still have it. The only way to listen to this, is from start to finish, as you have just done. How it’s meant to be listened to. Lying down, eyes closed and headphones on, nice and loud. I can’t begin to imagine how many times I’ve listened to it and I’ll never stop. The ‘Wish You Were Here’ Album, (1975), should also be listened to straight through, as it was also intended. Incredible music. Genius. Just my own feelings. 🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶
Thank you Jone 😊 for listening to FLOYD the correct way😅 My GOD growing up in the 70's, was amazing. All the great music. Sometimes a stoner radiostation would play a whole album side.😊Those were the days😂
The woman singing on "The Great Gig in the Sky" is named Clare Torry. She was brought in and told by the band to improvise whatever she felt like and just go for it for her part in the song. She was paid 30 British Pounds, the equivalent of $75 U.S., for her days studio work and was never given credit for her contribution on the album. She later sued Pink Floyd for her rightful due since she basically composed her part in the song and ended up settling out of court. She eventually received a half-share of the copyright ownership to "The Great Gig in the Sky" and an undisclosed sum of cash.
She should not have had to sue them. They should have paid their dues for a job well done. Her contribution is one of the highlights of the album and is performed with deep feeling and emotion.
After suing them for what was due to her composition they not only happily paid her for what she did for them but they also took her on tour with them.
I’ve been waiting for this one! And I had to listen through as soon as I saw it posted. I could tell how much you liked Time, Great Gig, and Us and Them, in particular, going through it, as well as the cohesiveness of the album. The whole thing holds ups 50 years later and now unites generations. And I’m glad you listened to the whole thing continuously. Great job!
Loving your journey through This masterpiece by Pink Floyd! Listening to their music just me feel smarter somehow - connecting more synapse in my brain- pure genius!! 😊
I’ve been listening to this album since it came out. Sometimes gaps in time, but I always know every nite every word. There was a reason it was the top album for a long long time.
I know you are bombarded with many requests. But Pink Floyd is incredibly unique. You must listen to The Wall in its entirety. And Animals. The song Dogs off of Animals is my favorite song of all time. Extraordinarily relevant to Western society.
in the record of human masterpieces there is michaelangelo's "david", there is da vinci's "mona lisa" and there is pink floyd's "the dark side of the moon".
Altogether, close to 20 years on the Billboard 200 chart, last I heard It seems to get a bump every time there’s a major eclipse, so it’s kind of immortal :)
In England in 1973 the paperboy's would put newspapers through the letterbox on your front door landing on the hallway floor and that is the "....the lunatics are in my hall the paper holds their folden faces to the floor and everyday the paperboy brings more". I don't know if we still have paperboys anymore here , i wouldn't hire one if i had a news agents shop!.
Another one to listen to in its entirety is the next album, Wish you were here. Incredible Saxophones too there! I can never listen to this album in its entirety without tearing at some point. Usually its Time or The Great Gig in the sky. This time it was Us and them. Beautiful stuff. Great you did this, and in this format.
This was Floyd's finest hour (so to speak). Everything they did after Syd's departure can be seen as leading up to this magnificent statement of the human condition from two radically different points of view. Side 1 is so cleverly structured that it seems to be over far too soon - which is precisely the point! Side 2 doesn't work quite as well, and it ends in something of an anticlimax, but taken as a whole the album reached heights the band never looked like attaining again.
The themes are relevant to all times and generations and nationalities. That - and the sublime music and effects and overall production - is why the album resonates with so many. I first heard it at 16 and it resonated. I’m in my 50s now and it is even more relevant to me than ever ❤😊 It must sound good on those headphones - the stereo panning and effects will be amazing.
David Gilmour said he always wished to hear this album like for the first time like everyone else. He said the band lived with it for so long before it's release that it was kind of anti-climactic for him.
I was 11 when this album dropped That summer, my friend and I built a treehouse listening to it on 8-track (the absolute worst way to listen, haha) It was glorious then, and it’s glorious now
20:54 yes, for all the audio brilliance of this album, there is a really weird wobble just at the end of Great Gig😂 it's been there forever and I'm glad they didn't edit it out from this 50th anniversary version. Was it a fluke by Alan Parsons? Was it intended? I guess, given the flawlessness of the rest of the album, we should assume the latter. But 1972.. tapes strung throughout the studio to achieve the long(!) analogue delays, multiple dubbings, all the layers... is it the small fluke they missed? (Like the cough on Wish you were ? Or ... did they purposefully put that in too? 😂
Que lindo ver una reacción, sobre todo de un disco y que no lo pausen cada dos segundos perdiendo todo el feeling de la música. La verdadera reacción es en el momento, en los movimientos de cabeza, en los gestos, en la sorpresa de un acorde hermoso, o que te sorprende. Me sumo a la reacción de "Wish you were here" . Saludos desde Argentina ! Espero algún día puedas escuchar Charly Garcia o Spinetta.
Couldn't hear you over the music, for future reference. This album is like an audio movie, best to turn off the lights, put on the headphones, and get immersed in the storytelling. Very moving YT comment at the end, I agree.
Claire performed “The Great Gig in the Sky” in one take with no clue what they wanted, the only guidance they gave her was “no words”, she sang and then just left not knowing anything about the band or what she did.
It is a musical and lyrical masterpiece. Pure genius. There is a reason it remains one of the highest selling albums of all time. And yes it was experimental, and one thing often overlooked is the engineering is masterful as well. Alan Parsons was the engineer, and the clarity, dynamics and mixing is pure genius as well. To this day audiophiles use this album to test high end audio systems because of the dynamics and clarity. For the time, it was way ahead of it's time. There is a very insightful documentary by the band on the making of here: th-cam.com/video/jUBnS5G34IM/w-d-xo.html ( PINK FLOYD - The Dark Side Of The Moon 2003 Documentary HD ) Also not that it means much to Europeans, but it has been put into the list of most influential recordings of all time, in the US Library of Congress,
Too much beer flashing, it's bad to abuse the right to show copyrighted stuff for comments without profit. The record mafia has the power to take that right away.

Thank you Jone for listening through uninterrupted. Another album to check out is Wish You Were Here.

EXACTLY! 👍👏👏
Dark Side of the Moon is a beautiful journey. Thank you for your attentive reaction. Nice job!
Welcome to one the largest clubs in the world. People who love this album. 😊
the "Time" solo is still stunning
My oldest brother bought this album when it came out. I was only 6 or 7 . Still love to this day. Unlike me, it never gets old.
Me too!
Dark Side is a masterpiece. That's it.
Been listening to this for years...and still, after all this time, I'll still pick up something I hadn't noticed before from time to time.
Honestly, for this album, listening to it in its entirety is the best way to really appreciate it. And then do it again and again for decades. You will still get something out of it every time.
Absolute Masterpiece.
I bought my original Vinyl Album on the day it was released, in 1973. I was 17.

The ‘Wish You Were Here’ Album, (1975), should also be listened to straight through, as it was also intended.
Incredible music. Genius. Just my own feelings.
🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶
Albums today do NOT sound as good as this
And I was just thinking this remaster doesn’t sound as good as the original…
Most musicians today are told what music to compose: what sells. No independent artistic/creative integrity.
Not to mention this was before computer editing,
i have 6000 songs on my playlist and this album is the best out of all them songs
Thank you Jone 😊 for listening to FLOYD the correct way😅 My GOD growing up in the 70's, was amazing. All the great music. Sometimes a stoner radiostation would play a whole album side.😊Those were the days😂

Thanks for that... You have to check ANIMALS is a MUST LISTEN RECORD!!!

Idem!😀
An album that spoke to the time and changed popular music ❤🎉😊

Has now spent over 2,000 weeks in the top 200.

I’ve spent a lot of Time listening to this album
In my personal experience, no one has ever gotten more feeling and emotion from fewer notes played than David Gilmour on guitar. Absolute genius.
The themes are relevant to all times and generations and nationalities. That - and the sublime music and effects and overall production - is why the album resonates with so many. I first heard it at 16 and it resonated. I’m in my 50s now and it is even more relevant to me than ever ❤😊
It must sound good on those headphones - the stereo panning and effects will be amazing.
Speak To Me is the overature with themes and sound from throughout the album.
A half-century later, it’s as good as ever - if not better
Like fine wine
Great reaction dude. You definitely need a 6 pack and a splif for this album. Cheers
David Gilmour said he always wished to hear this album like for the first time like everyone else. He said the band lived with it for so long before it's release that it was kind of anti-climactic for him.

Nice to watch! It was a long time ago, but I think the first time I listened to DSOTM, it was more than a 1-beer album.
Outstanding album choice and beer choice, Pink Floyd and Voodoo Ranger. 👍
Thanks!
Thanks to you! I appreciate your donation!

I think it’s a safe bet that it’s not a mistake or something overlooked :)
I see you noticed the tone shift at the end of the great gig in the sky. That is the last breath.
Wish You Were Here
who knew that you could travel so far in under an hour, and never move an inch?

My favorite guitar by dire straits is once upon a Time in the West
I bet Floyd sounds great on the ear buds😅
My favorite Santana song Black magic woman
And never will .❤
Shoutout to Alan Parsons - sound engineer extraordinaire

this album was sent up in space years ago, hope aliens find this gem lol
You got to listen to this, while watching the wizard of Oz with the sound off. They go well you together.
So I don't have a favorite guitarist. But I do put David Gilmour in the same column as Andre Segovia.
Nothing about this album that isn’t absolutely prefect.
Headphones on head back eyes shut when listening to Floyd
I heard people in Queensland call this song "The Dark Side of Yeppoon" because they thought it was written about policing in their town.
Do the full pink floyd Animals album
You are a classic guitar player so I feel you should listen to dire straits and Santana these guys know how to play a guitar
Beer 🤘
Late / but your there
Watch Delicate Sound of Thunder Concert.
That's how it always has to be stated; used to make better music with good taste
Pink Floyd is a guitar thing, yes?
ESTRAORDINARIO !!!!!
Great gig in sky was a woman going thru the stages of dying.
Fat joint / not beer just kidding
Jone, love what you’re doing, but lately your commentary is pushed too far back in the mix. Can’t hear you over the music.
He gabbles and talks crap anyways.
Too much beer flashing, it's bad to abuse the right to show copyrighted stuff for comments without profit.

Better to flash a bong.
