My adored late wife Moby loved Shine on You Crazy Diamond. I had her carried into the crematorium to it and as she was laid down, the iconic four note riff rang out. Maybe in some other dimension she could hear it.
SoYCD is very special indeed. Listen to it plenty still especially when I'm stressed out.Dark Side of the Moon was the first time I heard PF circa 1975 - remains my all time favourite.
Recently my 3 year old grandson listened to their music in my old truck that has a cassette player as we rode around. I knew he connected to the song when he asked me to stop talking so he could listen. That song was “Comfortably Numb”. That solo and background always makes me tear up. Hey, Mr Gilmour, Pink Floyd is forever.
In 1973 I moved to FL for business. Still just 22 y.o. I rented a beach apartment on Fort Myers Beach. I was standing there looking at my U-Haul trailer when two guys shouted out "hey, man...need some help?" Sure! Well help us finish this joint and we'll get you in your place. Right then and there I was introduced to Dark Side of the Moon. I. Was. Floored. Got move into the apartment, too.
when I'm sick of music I've heard everything too much I can always put on Pink Floyd and it still sounds great, could never get tired of Sheep, Echoes, Run like hell, Great gig, many others.
The hype without answers was annoying so MS copilot provided the answer in 2 seconds. 1. Comfortably Numb - From The Wall (1979): This powerful ballad features Gilmour’s emotive vocals and an unforgettable guitar solo. 2. Shine On You Crazy Diamond - From Wish You Were Here (1975): A tribute to former band member Syd Barrett, this epic composition showcases Gilmour’s soulful guitar work. 3. Echoes - From Meddle (1971): A progressive rock masterpiece, “Echoes” demonstrates Gilmour’s ability to create mesmerizing soundscapes. 4. The Great Gig In The Sky - From The Dark Side of the Moon (1973): Although not a song he wrote, Gilmour’s guitar work and the haunting vocals in this track contribute to its brilliance. 5. Wish You Were Here” - Also from Wish You Were Here: This title track resonates with its poignant lyrics and Gilmour’s emotive guitar melodies.
The albums loop - if you haven't noticed - example play "The Wall" whole album on repeat and at the end of "Outside the wall" last track - start the 1st track of the album "In the Flesh" and you you will see it - same for many Albums - the early Easter Eggs in Music - for those who don't know an Easter Egg is something hidden in music and or computer programming which is brilliant
You know, I honestly do wish that Echoes would be remixed and shortened by mixing out the instrumental portion in the middle. I've always felt that it was much to long and that the middle portion was just superfluous!
Rick Wright and David Gilmour' sing beautifully on Echoes! Now that Rick has sadly passed away, David has said that he will never perform Echoes in concert again.
@@RaulMacias-xs6pm The very middle with the weird sound effect is slightly long but the 8 last minutes are breathtaking. Form the moment Wright's keyboard comes back around the 15th minute to the end, the way everything is slowly unfolding to finally explode and come back to the main theme, it never cease to amaze me. One of my favorite piece of music, from all genre. I think it especially appeals to people into classical music.
Have you ever noticed the presence of Echoes in the Wall? I know of only two bits, so tell me if there are more: First one is the Echoes opening "ping" note during the Hey You bridge, just before the final lyrical verse. Second, during the next song, Is There Anybody Out There?, you can hear a short sample the similar sounds of the Echoes (middle part) "screaming creatures" in the beginning of the song, during the vocals. Of course, I was a little "trippy" when I first noticed it. But I've never seen any other Floyd fans acknowledge this.
Before Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd had great albums, including Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Echoes. I was a Floyd fan during that era. I never really liked the Syd era, although I can understand how many would, considering the time. But when Dark Side came out, everyone I knew, who were fans, were blown away that this underground band had hit the big time. The songs on Dark Side transcended many generations. My mom loved it. Kids like it now. I'm 70.
@@At.mos.fEarProduktionz Not my all time Floyd fave, but you're right. The range of musical styles found on Meddle really struck me when I had listened all the way though for the first time (being somewhere around 1980-81), after only being familiar with their more popular/newer albums. Thumping, wailing, wild rock, (One of these Days) and smooth, gentle, thoughtful pieces (A Pillow of Winds, Fearless), the upbeat, sort-of "popsy" tune (St Tropez), and whatever the bluesy, doggy Seamus is...LOL. But to me, Echoes was the album's pinnacle showcase: the bridge between a fair-to-do, moderately successful cult band, and the global, enduring, mega-phenomenon that Pink Floyd became.
I was really lucky as Meddle was one of my favorite Lps in High school. That was a long time ago and I still love it, Nick Mason's band still plays that early stuff and it's great.
I love them all and have since I was in High School in the mid 60s. However, my favorite is one that came out a little later; "On the turning away" is my personal favorite. The message the song conveys goes right to the heart of the homeless populations around the world. And Davids solo in the end is as good as it gets.
That’s always been my favorite PF song, because of the message and the guitar solo. I never understood why they didn’t play it at the Live 8 concert. Seemed like a no brainer to me.
Pink Floyd is just simply the best, with all its tentacles of developments and entire history. Pink Floyd sound is bringing the ocean of frequencies that we cannot forget. Our lives are woven around it, so many events associated within.
I so admired how David took the baton from Barrett and incorporated the Binson Echorec Echo Machine into his playing which he debuted on Rog's classic "Julia Dream". A true Psychedelic classic!
Why does something always have to be the best? Best according to what, Best according to who? There is no need to classify great music by numbers and days or weeks or years in the charts. In the end it's all down to personal preferences, because we all walk our own individual path.
A great take on it… if it’s great it’s great !! It doesn’t have to be compared to anything else it’s just great. Floyd, Rush, Yes, Who, Zep and all the rest are all great
Let us celebrate the talents and wallow in the tide original music that has been generated over the past 70 years. Each rock group and artist has contributed to the mosaic that we have today… no one single piece must be compared, rather we must step back and appreciate the entire mosaic of rock music in its entirety.
Very modest of Dave not to include the post-Waters magnum opuses that he created: eg. High Hopes, On the Turning Away, Sorrow, etc. Yes, there'll never be another PF... or another guitar demigod that can suck your soul in like David Gilmour!
I totally agree. If you want to hear that album like you've never heard it before, search for the 3d realistic audio version of it here on YT. Terrific! 😊
Echoes is the Earths theme and is praised by cosmic timeless entities and is the only reason they let us exist to let other unborn generations be blessed to hear it, for it is that magnificent!
Gilmour's addition to the members of Pink Floyd reminds me of how Genesis changed for the better when they brought both Steve Hackett and Phil Collins onboard. It was then that both bands created their signature sounds that made them legends who will never be forgotten.
For some reason, I kept reading "Gilmour's addiction to the members of Pink Floyd" and was like ??? What ? Addicted? I'm just going to leave this here because maybe he was and still is lol.
@@kevanbodsworth9868 Oh well..the Les Pauls used by Jimmy Page or Slash had such a brash loud jarring sound that I thought it was the default setting of Les Paul as opposed to a Stratocaster. Perhaps the distortion settings used by Page & Slash made it sound so. Thanks for the insight tho..Cheers
@@kevanbodsworth9868 Gilmour has Les Paul with p90 (single coil), he has different pedal chain (kinda more complicated) and different hands a style of playing
David had to take over the bass guitar during the studio work and got an award for it too, I read it somewhere... Anyway, nice to hear a guitarist who doesn't play as fast as he can, a true source of inspiration thanks
Interesting video! I first heard about Pink Floyd when a video game magazine referenced a soundtrack to a game as sounding “like a Pink Floyd album”. That was in 1994, around the time of Pulse. So I began saying I was into PF, without having heard their music. It wasn’t until 2003 that I got Dark Side of the Moon on CD, as well as The Wall, that I actually listened to the band. And I can’t forget watching Live 8 in 2005 on television, with the band reuniting for the first time in more than 20 years, because if I am correct, A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987 lacked Roger Waters, leading many pundits to call that particular album “Pink Floyd Lite”!
Public Broadcasting System, better known as PBS, said it best after seeing Pulse in 1994 at the Earl’s Court in London. “Arguably the greatest Rock Concert and Light show ever caught on tape.”
@@alfching2499 Ha ha had to laugh at that. I remember back in the early seventies a DJ on UK radio said PF music was music to slash your wrists bye. Possibly correct, anyone who is depressed should never listen to Dark side of the moon by themselves. Ignore the lyrics and enjoy the Music.
So much good stuff, and now I've been able to introduce my new wife of 11 years (both of us lost our previous spouses) to the magic that is Floyd. She loves them now, and we often sit on our deck looking across the lake with a sip of good scotch or a margarita while watching the sun set to Echoes ... one of her favorites. And she was raised on country and gospel, interestingly enough.
I thought that their performances in Pompeii were Floyd's finest moment. Hard to pick individual Floyd tracks because I think of their music more album-by-album than song-by-song.
Pink Floyd have provided the soundtrack to my life from that first gig at Gorlieston Floral Hall near Great Yarmouth in 1967 to the last at Earl's Court and beyound. It is an honour to have witnessed the creation of such beauty. Thank you guys!
Money? It’s a gas! Is that a fucking Van Gogh original leaning against the wall in the studio? Why would it a reproduction! I love David Gilmour’s playing. No one more expressive and emotive.
we come here as creators, after all. so whatever we create, enjoying the simple act of creation, for its own sake, we have fulfilled our mission. If others enjoy it, so much the better
Without David Gilmour, Pink Floyd would not be close to the great band they were. Very well done David.
i feel as if syd's impression that he left on the band is what made the band the greatest
I'm sure
@@rookieradio126syd was nothing like the newer Floyd, he was too whimsical
@@rookieradio126 If you've ever had a crazy person in your life, it always leaves an impression. It doesn't mean it's a good thing either.
@@rookieradio126 agree

She heard it,and smiled ❤️
Energy never dies, her soul lives on. I believe this completely. Well done.

The voices of Gilmour and Wright together is something really special.
Agreed. Echos is my favorite song of all time.

Hey, Mr Gilmour, Pink Floyd is forever.
I'm 70 years old and LUV Pink Floyd! David Gilmore is fantastic.
Right behind you, 70 next week! Loved Pink Floyd ever since I heard Piper At The Gates Of Dawn!
Dark Side Of The Moon sold me on PF. I had the album twice, then the cassette many times and now on my PC forever.
I started listening to them in 67, when I was shipped off to boarding school in the UK at the tender age of 13
Me too 70 years old, PF then, PF now, so glad I was born when I was, what great music we got to listen to!
*Gilmour. It's really not that hard, if you've seen it in print a thousand times.
Thank you , David Gilmore and Pink Floyd. You have provided the sound track of my life.
Gilmour
@@pinkfreud62 sure, sorry
Echoes - My favorite all time Floyd track. It's perfection to my ears.
In 1973 I moved to FL for business. Still just 22 y.o. I rented a beach apartment on Fort Myers Beach. I was standing there looking at my U-Haul trailer when two guys shouted out "hey, man...need some help?" Sure! Well help us finish this joint and we'll get you in your place. Right then and there I was introduced to Dark Side of the Moon. I. Was. Floored. Got move into the apartment, too.
First time I did shrooms was to Meddle. Wow.....
when I'm sick of music I've heard everything too much I can always put on Pink Floyd and it still sounds great, could never get tired of Sheep, Echoes, Run like hell, Great gig, many others.
When I am depressed and down and sick of modern music, I do not put Pink Floyd on the turntable. Too depressing. It’s The Beatles for me!
It never ever gets “old”!
Pink floyd forever holds a place in my brain.
their sound is timeless thats why it continues to be popular it doesnt say 60s 70s 80 or 90s it will continue to live on
Also 4 of my very favorites. David has always been my favorite guitarist. He is a true master.
Truly a special band. One of a kind.
David Gilmour and Pink Floyd has quite LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE…TWICE…🙏💎💙🎶🎸
I'm glad they helped you to survive. Music CAN save your mortal soul.

Almost everything David has done is, and will, endure for a very long time.
Was driving home from work in Saudi Arabia 1984 and listening to Comfortably Numb.--Yes I was !
Hi roger and thanks for the extremely cool tunes,of pink floyd,pure acid rock of early 60s,thank you much guys
Wish I could meet David Gilmour just to tell him Wow he his the GOAT
they certainly resonate with me
I’m very fond of “Wearing the Inside Out”, even more impressed that it was done in one take, assuming the that is true
Genius Musicians. They are one of the world's most creative bands ever
I was at the first show of The Wall at Earls Court, as he says, Comfortably numb was just amazing, total darkness with the spotlight on him.
I just love Pink Floyd. Great video.

I agree. Floyd were just another group. There have been many. Too numerous to mention. What is music to someone’s ear, is anathema to another’s.

-Echoes
-Shine On
-Pigs

I saw The Wall live in 1980 at Nassau. Dave on top of the Wall was super awesome.
Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, On the Turning Away and Learning to Fly are my favorites
Thanks.

Playing guitar (well) for 67 years and singing ditto I never thought to put thin strings on as the 'low' part. I must try.

David Gilmore hits notes that your sole didn't know it needed to hear.

“Despite being penned by Waters”
I hate that, just because the lyrics are Rogers doesn’t mean Roger wrote that song. The music is David Gilmour’s.
This guy is so humble and classy, he put up with a lot of Bullshit from Waters. Top five greatest guitarists, Floyd is nothing without him there.
Amen
high hopes will always be the best song

How can you tune a string two octaves higher w/o breaking it?

Your an Animal, especially on Animals. Thx for all the great memories.
He picked 'Wish you were here', 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond', 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Echoes'. Not bad choices.
Not to worry Dave, this music will be remembered for as long as there are humans on planet earth.
Rip🙏
Thank the gods David didn't end up building houses or selling real estate.
He was born to make music.
