Wow, some say this is the best song on this double album...I can certainly see why....Hauntingly beautiful.....Thank you so much for watching, have a beautiful day/night 🥰
Wow….I hadn’t heard that. Certainly one of the best for sure. Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell are the standouts for me. And Another Brick in the Wall . But for sure this is a great track
I was so stoked when I saw you were reacting to Hey You! It is one of the best songs on The Wall. Your backdrop made me smile - perfect! How can anyone get that much into such a short song? It baffles me! I concur with everything you said. There are no long songs on this album, but "Mother" hits me hard. It is yet another masterpiece (IMO) featuring both lead singers & numerous other features.
Hi my friend! Thanks for coming early :) Just had to with the brick walls ya know! Wow, I'm so used to long PF songs, but I get it, due to the amount of songs present... Adding your vote for Mother to my list! Have a beautiful day/night...
This solo after "Open your heart, I am coming come" is beautifully haunting, almost impossible to stand... How can we expect that somebody stand such pain waiting to flow out... This need for Love in Gilmours solo shows the paradox that it will overload so fantastic... Simply Genius. Dave, The answer, when we just listen we can hug the inner child with his emotions, while replies Roger, its too late... Not the hole album shows the pain beauty transformance bridges... There are so many complex little parts, not allways easy to listen, but worth every second😍
Despite the presence of " Comfortably Numb ", this is the best song from " The Wall ". The lyric content aside, the almost metal guitars in the instrumental break was/is unlike anything Pink Floyd did, which makes me like it best. David Gilmour has the vocals before the break, Roger Waters the vocals after
I Love your Reactions 😁😁,I am a big Fan of Pink Floyd and Marillion too.I was on 3 Pink Floyd Concerts in 1994,one was in Prag there was light Rain the Show was 🤯🤯,I was Born in 1967,my First Album was Wish you were Here at 11 years. Now I have all of Pink Floyd 😜😁🥳🤩
It’s so Amazing how can you fit Pink Floyd into a Genre. They were classified as prog rock, but when The Wall was released, it’s hard to put them in any genre because how their music evolved. They are their own genre.
The algorithm gods recently took me to a really interesting channel called Virgin Rock. This woman who has only ever listened to classical music is listening to The Wall song by song. She has degrees in music,teaches music, and plays the piano and harp. Her prespective is really interesting and I've learned a lot from her. For those who are interested, she has two videos for each song and I recommend the shorter of the two. ✌🏽
Hi there...Oh yes I was recently told about her. I just watched her Firth of Fifth the other day! She certainly has a unique and extremely educated musical perspective...Def have to discover more...thanks
Great reaction, love that you notice all the various elements. You are correct-they do become a part of the mind, heart and soul. I appreciate the Wall backdrop as well, nice touch! Subbed
Thank you for watching and for the wonderful compliments Pommie! I love picking my backdrops, and you know I just had to do something brick here (instead of my usual space/stars Pink Floyd one). I really appreciate your sub :) Lots of PF on my channel already and tons more to come...including some 50th anniversary album thing that's around the corner haha... :))
@@retroreactions.... I just started going through your earlier PF reactions. I absolutely love watching other people hear PF for the first time and see the understanding on their faces as they get why they are the best band that ever was. Yes, I am a fan of PF, lol. I really look forward to seeing your future reactions of PF as well as all the other amazing bands out there!
@@retroreactions.... By now, you know that Pink Floyd’s songs tend to be long. This one is only one minute long: th-cam.com/video/ImioHwbfYNM/w-d-xo.html. It is one of my Pink Floyd favorites.
Yes! A brilliant track from a great album. My other favourites on here are ‘Mother’ and obviously ‘Comfortably Numb’ and you also try ‘Run Like Hell’ but then again I love all the other tracks as well!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
in the 2nd part of the song, in the renewed bass scene, the background noise gives me goosebumps again and again. It sounds like bees. This part of the song would be the perfect soundtrack in a thriller or horror movie.
brace yourself. The Wall as a whole is a hard work to digest. sometimes you will ask yourself: what was that? but if you always keep the focus on the protagonist's storyline, it will works.
Fabulous Album. It’s a real experience to listen right through from beginning to end. One of their true Masterpieces. Hey You is a brilliant track. Also, it’s strange that ‘Comfortably Numb’ is one of Floyd’s most loved songs by so many, including me, yet the original album recording of it, is my least favourite version, as it fades out so quickly. The later to come extended Live versions have become much loved Classics in their own right. 🎶❤️🎶
Since you asked: My fave songs from this album are, in no particular order, Is There Anybody Out There?; Goodbye, Blue Sky; Comfortably Numb; Young Lust; Run Like Hell.
Fav tracks outside the usual masterpieces: "The Thin Ice", "Mother", and "Goodbye Blue Sky" These three tracks are the initial foundations of the wall, fear of the challenges of life, a controlling parent overcompensating, and war.
An exhibition of how hope can convert to desperation. This song has the chills of isolation and how it can feel. I like your reaction to when Nick introduced himself and I'm sure your breathe was taken away from you at one point: like so many before and yet to come. Thankyou for the company and comment.
YOU GET IT THAT WE WERE COMPLETELYYYYY SPOILED, STONED, TRASHED, AND LOVINGGGG THIS!!! 😊 I ALWAYS SAID THAT WE ONLYYYY KILLED OFF OUR OWN BRAINCELLS, NOT OTHER PEOPLE!😟
One of several intriguing double vinyl concept albums dealing with a protagonist with a personality disorder that came out of the mid 70's. Seemed to be a popular theme at that particular time. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Quadrophenia being the others. Only the Lamb hasn't been made into a movie, which is a shame, because it's outstanding. Hard to beat the Floyd however.
Questo per me è uno dei pezzi migliori dei Pink Floyd . Di sicuro l' assolo di Gilmour è qualcosa di leggendario e la batteria di Mason non lo è di meno .
I messaged Roger Waters son Harry last year, he only replied back! I asked if he would sign my vinyl sleeve of The Wall 🧱 he said yes! I asked him if he could possibly get Roger to sign too, I know long shot! he said sadly I can't help you there. Harry can be heard on the song Goodbye blue sky at the beginning. C. 2023
This song was originally envisioned to come after Comfortably Numb as the theme and the lyrics suggest. It was moved to the front of side 3 at the last minute on the suggestion of Bob Ezrin.
Up to the beginning of Comfortably Numb, Pink is comfortable surrounded by his wall. But his people with doctor in tow need him to be up for another show. Now that he is awake he realizes how alone he is.
@@retroreactions.... No, just some monologue like the rude teacher with the alumns, in the movie you will find some extra music that is not included in the album.
Ah, so almost like an extended music video collection....Is the Another Brick 2 video (where the kids jump into the meat grinder) actually from this movie?
Hi ! Well yes, the whole Album is a story wich is alot easier to understand with the visual ! I mean the Movie ! lol ! Went to see the movie when it came out in theaters ! In Montreal it was playing in a special theater ! the sound was special was so powerful ! unlike the other theaters ! but at the time there was no IMAX ! it was in the 70s ! When you play the songs i can picture the part of the story in the movie ! 🤓
@@retroreactions.... Yes sir ! it s the same songs ! It s The Wall nothing more nothing less ! Amazing movie for being from the 70s ! You probably can rent it on youtube ! i ll go check that ! would be nice to watch it again ! lol 🤓
@@sergebrunet4218 the movie came out in 1982, a few years after the album was released. I was there on opening night myself, saw it twice that evening because the first theater had poor sound. "Hey You" is not in the movie. Some songs are extended and remixed such as "Mother"which never sounded more haunting. "Empty Spaces" is extended significantly with added lyrics and grotesque animation. "Outside the Wall" is extended and sung by Roger at the end instead of spoken as it is on the album.
If you want a nice, peaceful, "folk style" good song from PF, you might want to try "If"... (There are MANY good songs, so I just picked one, "Grantchester Meadows" is another one in this kind).
@@retroreactions.... Yup, "If" is on Atom Heart Mother (after the HUGE orchestral song about 20mn long). And "Grantchester Meadows" is on Ummagumma IIRC. They got different styles but great songs from their earlies up to The Wall... After that it's not the same "Floyd" band, I mean, they never did interesting things again. They split, and the alchemy was gone. They were still "good musicians", but no magic anymore, mainstream had reached to their level, and they didn't explore as much after that. So I qualify them as good average "FM rock band". But Pink Floyd from Syd to The Wall is just my favorite band ever, always great, originals, diverse, great concepts, leading the way in musical production. And both Rogers (Syd & Waters) were great lyricists. Syd being more of a poet, loving visual arts and child fantasy literature, while Waters being more adult, dark, misanthropic, but so great in his way of delivering his ideas in lyrics you can dig into. The Wall, for example, is really a doomed rock star story (a blend between Syd and Waters). So it's very specific. But, strangely, it's so well written that anybody can relate, and find a piece of himself in the story. It's like "On The Run" on DSTOM, very "techno" track (1973) and it was about being afraid in planes, but it's more than that. It relates to any "oppressing" situation. Woops, I did it again. Sorry, I slipped, I tend to talk too much when I start about Pink Floyd :). Bests.
@@retroreactions.... Haha. I love Depeche Mode. My 2 favorites are "Never Let Me Down Again" and "Barrel Of A Gun", but I listen to a lot DM, The Cure too, and many "New Wave" bands. Do you know the band "KMFDM" ? (Some says the acronym references Depeche Mode... Like "Kill Motha F**ker Depeche Mode"...). "Anarchy" is one good from them, if you wanna try "hardcore indus".
Good job! Roger really does find his voice on this one. Some of the most passionate vocals you'll ever hear, because much of the story is about him.. with some added inspiration from his childhood friend Syd who was pretty much the living embodiment of a rockstar gone insane. Intense stuff. Both Roger and Dave are at the top of their game vocally imo, playing off each other's styles perfectly. Nice backdrop!!
Yes the dire sound of our protagonist Pink's voice as he's pleading with himself in vain to regain his sanity and come out from behind the Wall is as good as it gets. A true masterpiece
I've seen The Wall twice. What's during the original tour and most of it at the mass of momentary lapse of Reason concert. Which I seen twice as well. During the original concert they constructed a wall and tore it down at the end. And they performed with a massive Orchestra, mixed choir and all boys choir. And even though the movie came out after the album much of the footage for that movie was showing on their big round screen. and speaking of the movie I highly suggest you watch it perhaps breaking it up into four sections. It is as thought invoking as the soundtrack. Also Offers a great insight to their mindset that created their sound. 🤠🏞️🐂 Ozark went into hiding and said he's not coming out. It seems he thinks the world is teetering on edge. And animal farm is about to go global.
You're my favorite alternate DJ. We are fortunate to live in an area where three old guys (my age) bought back their old station they sold a couple decades back. And they play the old format. Only interrupting the music for 3 minutes every hour for station identification and they have transmitters scattered throughout the Ozarks. The format is classic 60 70s and some '80s Rock. And they play deep cuts never repeating a song within a 4 week period. Just imagine great music like this 24/7. Although your wisdom leads me to believe you're over 50. So......... Time to get to work👍🤠🏞️🐂
Roger water "Wall' concert has Snowny White hit's a note after the first verse that last for 23 seconds. he finds a spot on the stage at every concert where he gets feed back. amazing. Unfortunately hard to find Pink Floyd playing after 1985 can only perform 5 songs from the "Wall". Roger got all the rights to "The Wall".
I'm sure they can play anything from The Wall as long as Roger is sufficiently compensated which I'm sure he is anyway from the stuff they do do. (Did I say do do?) lol
@@retroreactions.... well, it has to do with rights vs royalties. Frankly I'm not sure how it all breaks down. I do know that the 2018 remix of Animals was held up until late 2022 largely because Dave and Roger couldn't agree on some of the liner notes of all things. So as the principal writer Roger still seems to have some say in certain re-issue decisions. As for 'The Wall' he was for sure given exclusive rights to that in their separation agreement just as a way to placate him I suspect, with all the legal maneuvering, and get him out of their hair once and for all.
Agree, but for legal/fair use on TH-cam, I do it to ensure I'm transforming the content to make myself a large part of the video. I did do Dark Side full album with no pauses if interested. Thanks.
Another great Pink Floyd reaction! Thanks Brandon for 2 PF days in row. I enjoyed yesterday’s conclusion to Shine You Crazy Diamond as well. I earlier listened to “Echos” from David Gilmours album “Live in Gdańsk”. It’s epic!! I believe this was the last time that he and Richard Wright performed together. I bet you would enjoy this as well… hint, hint!
Thanks as always Dale! I love double Floyd weekends!! Well kind sir, your wish has been granted lol, I have already reacted to it, here's the link!!!: th-cam.com/video/JppYl4Ll1dk/w-d-xo.html
@@retroreactions.... one of the best Supertramp songs, in my opinion, is From Now On. I'm not sure how to donate.... but reaction to that song would be awesome and I would love to support you for that!
th-cam.com/video/fAYcS1v36RQ/w-d-xo.html Check out this song. The band is from Finland. I think in 2006 I asked my uncle if he got something mellow, relaxing, out of his huge rock and metal cd shelves. He took this album and told me to listen to it at home before going to sleep and return it after some days. The melodies, arrangements, atmosphere, depressing mood,... Vocals aside, one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I ever had the pleasure to experience. In my opinion, the most beautiful moment(s) of any Pink Floyd song: The guitar solos of Burning Bridges and especially Mudmen. Sooo beautiful. Not even writing a book about it could possibly explain how beautiful.
Wow, 2 PF songs I don't really hear mentioned here....interesting....I listened to that link. Absolutely gorgeous music, just my taste and when the violin or cello came in, pure heaven!! Thanks!!!
@@retroreactions.... You're very welcome. After watching some of your videos, I thought this might hit the right nerve. As the cello did with me first time listening to it 😊It would be a shame to not share this kind of beautiful music anyway. Those 2 PF songs... I was a fool for many many years, overlooking OBC completely, since there were no "epics" on that album... At first I wanted to recommend "Caravan - Nine Feet Underground" to you, but youtube deleted every single studio version of it, there had been at least 6 at the end of 2021 🙄
@@retroreactions.... Exactly. Alt least spotify, that's good. Great song, really. AWESOME mellotronic organ solo. To me a OBC reaction would be nice to watch, since that album is soo overlooked. Others might find access to it/get to know it, watching your reaction video.
Strange ! looks like Hey You is deleted from the movie ! don t know why ! because i remember it was in the movie ! i still have it on VHS but it s in my storage unit in Alberta and i m in Quebec ! 3,400 km from me ! 🤔
Hmm, so they took it out? Well, it's still early...please hop in the truck, drive there and back overnight, and upload it to YT tomorrow.... I'm sure traffic is light, it's a weekend LMAO....
Proprio così...hai detto bene. David Gilmour nel suo meraviglioso assolo di chitarra ripete dal brano più famoso dell'album THE WALL (insieme a Confortably numb ) ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ..."We don't need no education we don't need thought control..."
Brilliant brilliant brilliant! The album takes a few turns, Pinks brush with Fascism and a really unpleasant bunch of other 'isms finally ending with the insanity of a cartoon / stage like twisted Trial inside his own head where he condemns himself for crimes of having feelings!
It wasn't Pink himself that "brushed with fascism", but he was exploited by fascists after his mental breakdown. The lyrics of "In the Flesh" say: "Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel, and they sent us along as a surrogate band." Of course, there are many gaps in the story told in "The Wall", and it's up to the listener to fill them in their mind.
Great song awesome band, loved the reaction. You should broaden your horizons and check out Be Bop Deluxe Crying to the sky and Cosmic Dancer by T.Rex ot if you're looking for lots of hits, Black Betty by Ram Jam. Keep up the good work.
@@retroreactions.... Yip all from the 70's I think T.Rex had a hit accross the pond with Bang a gong, it was called Get it on over here but apparently was too risky for the US of A
@@retroreactions.... In our society mothers are essential to a child’s well being....... except many normal and even successful adults never met theirs or can remember them. Many thousands of years ago it was rare for a mother to raise her children or even take any part....... the tribe or family did that. Even today, royalty and the wealthy, especially celebrities, either send the kids off to private schools with college facilities or employ others to mother and father the kids. In Rogers case, I think he had a good loving mother who was misguided by ignorance, fear and LOVE. The result was she smothered him . The love and care became the foundations of the WALL that has haunted his mental state and soul for the entirety of his living memory.
unfortunately, Richard Wright was fired during the wall album, mainly by Roger. Richard Wright was going through a lot of personal problems at the time, and really was not contributing much to the band unfortunately, although he has always been absolutely brilliant and his keyboard sounds have always been the glue of Pink Floyd. Even David Gilmour admitted that Richard Wright wasn’t contributing much of anything, and of course, Roger was not in a good place either, so the conflict between them led to the split very happy to see Richard a few years later, start to get himself together again, and was absolutely fantastic all the way up until his sad and untimely death and Richard’s final two solo albums were really really good never getting the attention they deserved especially the album broken China
Of course the irony is that Richard Wright was immediately rehired as a touring musician and toured with The Wall without missing a beat.. becoming the only one from the band to make any money from the tour as the other members had all their profits tied up in the enormous expense it cost to put on such an extravagant show. They actually *lost* money on the deal which is why they had to put on such a truncated tour. Wright as a non-member had no such expenses and received a nice little payday. 😏 Also, while Roger gets a lot of the blame for the Wright firing it would later come out that he sought Dave's consent before making the move, who ultimately signed off on it. Richard was just a mess during that period.
@@flubblert good information. I did know that Richard was the only one to make money on the tour but I did not know that Dave actually completely signed off on Richard Wright firing. The only part I knew was that David admitted that Richard wasn’t contributing much at that time.
@@retroreactions.... yeah, it turned out all right for him, Brandon. First thing Dave did after Roger left in '85 was to rehire Richard as a full-fledged member for the upcoming album and tour for "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". He remained a full member till his death in 2008. Never missed a tour with the band. Even toured with Gilmour on his 2006 solo tour. (That Gdansk concert). Dave and Richard remained great friends to the end.
Brandon…don’t try to listen to The Wall track by track. I’ve seen other reactors try it and so many of the “songs” just don’t stand alone….They push the narrative forward but don’t stand alone as “songs” Best to do as sides if you can
This solo after "Open your heart, I am coming come" is beautifully haunting, almost impossible to stand... How can we expect that somebody stand such pain waiting to flow out... This need for Love in Gilmours solo shows the paradox that it will overload so fantastic... Simply Genius. Dave, The answer, when we just listen we can hug the inner child with his emotions, while replies Roger, its too late... Not the hole album shows the pain beauty transformance bridges... There are so many complex little parts, not allways easy to listen, but worth every second😍
Wow, some say this is the best song on this double album...I can certainly see why....Hauntingly beautiful.....Thank you so much for watching, have a beautiful day/night 🥰
This one and Mother are my favorites from The Wall.
I'll add a vote for you for Mother on my list!
@@retroreactions.... Definitely 💜
I think it is the best song, alongside Comfortably Numb.

I asked him if he could possibly get Roger to sign too, I know long shot! he said sadly I can't help you there. Harry can be heard on the song Goodbye blue sky at the beginning.
C. 2023
Haha awww, well still nice of him to agree for himself...
So many of us say Hey you.
This song was originally envisioned to come after Comfortably Numb as the theme and the lyrics suggest. It was moved to the front of side 3 at the last minute on the suggestion of Bob Ezrin.
Interesting...I hope that's the better order.. thank you so much Jim and Angela....
Up to the beginning of Comfortably Numb, Pink is comfortable surrounded by his wall. But his people with doctor in tow need him to be up for another show. Now that he is awake he realizes how alone he is.
The Wall is a masterpiece in its own field.
My 3 favourite Pink Floyd albums in order:
1, The dark side of the moon 🌙.
2, The wall 🧱.
3, Animals.
Interesting order....every fan has a different combo I'm sure! Somebody in this world must have Obscured as their #1!
I love this album and the movie!
Wow, maybe I have to react to the movie at some point.....is there any spoken dialogue?
@@retroreactions.... No, just some monologue like the rude teacher with the alumns, in the movie you will find some extra music that is not included in the album.
Ah, so almost like an extended music video collection....Is the Another Brick 2 video (where the kids jump into the meat grinder) actually from this movie?
@@retroreactions.... si señor, that happens at about the 26 minute mark in the movie
@@retroreactions.... yes, that's from The Wall movie.
Hi ! Well yes, the whole Album is a story wich is alot easier to understand with the visual ! I mean the Movie ! lol ! Went to see the movie when it came out in theaters ! In Montreal it was playing in a special theater ! the sound was special was so powerful ! unlike the other theaters ! but at the time there was no IMAX ! it was in the 70s ! When you play the songs i can picture the part of the story in the movie ! 🤓
Is every song on this album included in the movie?
@@retroreactions.... Sadly, Hey You is the only song NOT to make it in the movie. That surely doesn’t mean you should not watch the movie.
@@retroreactions.... Yes sir ! it s the same songs ! It s The Wall nothing more nothing less ! Amazing movie for being from the 70s ! You probably can rent it on youtube ! i ll go check that ! would be nice to watch it again ! lol 🤓
@@crazyfingers19 What are you talking about ? I saw the movie in theater back in the 70s when it came out and i remember hey you song was there !
@@sergebrunet4218 the movie came out in 1982, a few years after the album was released. I was there on opening night myself, saw it twice that evening because the first theater had poor sound. "Hey You" is not in the movie. Some songs are extended and remixed such as "Mother"which never sounded more haunting. "Empty Spaces" is extended significantly with added lyrics and grotesque animation. "Outside the Wall" is extended and sung by Roger at the end instead of spoken as it is on the album.
Cool background… don’t miss to see the movie The Wall with Bob Geldof as the main character
Thanks! Why do I keep forgetting that Mr. Live Aid is the star of that movie? Well I just found out a few weeks ago haha...
Do the album! My favourite of all time (even beats Close to the Edge!) ❤
I will eventually in some form!
If you want a nice, peaceful, "folk style" good song from PF, you might want to try "If"... (There are MANY good songs, so I just picked one, "Grantchester Meadows" is another one in this kind).
Hi Garry... wow, I've looked at their songs list many times and I don't recall seeing either of those titles.... are they from early albums?
@@retroreactions.... Yup, "If" is on Atom Heart Mother (after the HUGE orchestral song about 20mn long). And "Grantchester Meadows" is on Ummagumma IIRC. They got different styles but great songs from their earlies up to The Wall... After that it's not the same "Floyd" band, I mean, they never did interesting things again. They split, and the alchemy was gone. They were still "good musicians", but no magic anymore, mainstream had reached to their level, and they didn't explore as much after that. So I qualify them as good average "FM rock band".
But Pink Floyd from Syd to The Wall is just my favorite band ever, always great, originals, diverse, great concepts, leading the way in musical production. And both Rogers (Syd & Waters) were great lyricists. Syd being more of a poet, loving visual arts and child fantasy literature, while Waters being more adult, dark, misanthropic, but so great in his way of delivering his ideas in lyrics you can dig into.
The Wall, for example, is really a doomed rock star story (a blend between Syd and Waters). So it's very specific. But, strangely, it's so well written that anybody can relate, and find a piece of himself in the story. It's like "On The Run" on DSTOM, very "techno" track (1973) and it was about being afraid in planes, but it's more than that. It relates to any "oppressing" situation.
Woops, I did it again.
Sorry, I slipped, I tend to talk too much when I start about Pink Floyd :).
Bests.
Haha, I feel your passion, it's great!...I'm the same way with Depeche Mode....Thanks
@@retroreactions.... Haha. I love Depeche Mode. My 2 favorites are "Never Let Me Down Again" and "Barrel Of A Gun", but I listen to a lot DM, The Cure too, and many "New Wave" bands.
Do you know the band "KMFDM" ? (Some says the acronym references Depeche Mode... Like "Kill Motha F**ker Depeche Mode"...). "Anarchy" is one good from them, if you wanna try "hardcore indus".
Good job! Roger really does find his voice on this one. Some of the most passionate vocals you'll ever hear, because much of the story is about him.. with some added inspiration from his childhood friend Syd who was pretty much the living embodiment of a rockstar gone insane. Intense stuff. Both Roger and Dave are at the top of their game vocally imo, playing off each other's styles perfectly. Nice backdrop!!
Perfect description for the little I know of this album and all that I've yet to know....Thanks, had to use brick walls for this one!
Yes the dire sound of our protagonist Pink's voice as he's pleading with himself in vain to regain his sanity and come out from behind the Wall is as good as it gets. A true masterpiece
Deep stuff....thanks so much for watching Mike!
Sad that this beauty didn’t make it into the movie.
Wow, surprising!
I've seen The Wall twice. What's during the original tour and most of it at the mass of momentary lapse of Reason concert. Which I seen twice as well.
During the original concert they constructed a wall and tore it down at the end.
And they performed with a massive Orchestra, mixed choir and all boys choir.
And even though the movie came out after the album much of the footage for that movie was showing on their big round screen.
and speaking of the movie I highly suggest you watch it perhaps breaking it up into four sections. It is as thought invoking as the soundtrack.
Also Offers a great insight to their mindset that created their sound.
🤠🏞️🐂
Ozark went into hiding and said he's not coming out. It seems he thinks the world is teetering on edge. And animal farm is about to go global.
You're my favorite alternate DJ.
We are fortunate to live in an area where three old guys (my age) bought back their old station they sold a couple decades back. And they play the old format. Only interrupting the music for 3 minutes every hour for station identification and they have transmitters scattered throughout the Ozarks.
The format is classic 60 70s and some '80s Rock. And they play deep cuts never repeating a song within a 4 week period. Just imagine great music like this 24/7.
Although your wisdom leads me to believe you're over 50.
So.........
Time to get to work👍🤠🏞️🐂
LOL Ozark came back recently I see.............😉
@@retroreactions.... yeah he said he was tired of being Underground.
So I put them to work on the garden.
✌️
That's awesome....so between my channel and that radio station, you're set for life haha! Not quite to 50, just 2 more years!
Roger water "Wall' concert has Snowny White hit's a note after the first verse that last for 23 seconds. he finds a spot on the stage at every concert where he gets feed back. amazing. Unfortunately hard to find Pink Floyd playing after 1985 can only perform 5 songs from the "Wall". Roger got all the rights to "The Wall".
I'm sure they can play anything from The Wall as long as Roger is sufficiently compensated which I'm sure he is anyway from the stuff they do do. (Did I say do do?) lol
Wow, surprising....Roger obviously owns some rights to some Animals songs too.....
I do believe you done gone and did there done say do do.... :)
@@retroreactions.... 🤭😏
@@retroreactions.... well, it has to do with rights vs royalties. Frankly I'm not sure how it all breaks down. I do know that the 2018 remix of Animals was held up until late 2022 largely because Dave and Roger couldn't agree on some of the liner notes of all things. So as the principal writer Roger still seems to have some say in certain re-issue decisions. As for 'The Wall' he was for sure given exclusive rights to that in their separation agreement just as a way to placate him I suspect, with all the legal maneuvering, and get him out of their hair once and for all.
Hitting the pause booty while listening to Pink Floyd is true sacrilege...
Agree, but for legal/fair use on TH-cam, I do it to ensure I'm transforming the content to make myself a large part of the video. I did do Dark Side full album with no pauses if interested. Thanks.
Another great Pink Floyd reaction! Thanks Brandon for 2 PF days in row. I enjoyed yesterday’s conclusion to Shine You Crazy Diamond as well. I earlier listened to “Echos” from David Gilmours album “Live in Gdańsk”. It’s epic!! I believe this was the last time that he and Richard Wright performed together. I bet you would enjoy this as well… hint, hint!
Thanks as always Dale! I love double Floyd weekends!! Well kind sir, your wish has been granted lol, I have already reacted to it, here's the link!!!: th-cam.com/video/JppYl4Ll1dk/w-d-xo.html
I thought I checked before submitting my comment. Can’t get enough Echos!!
Never! I'm anxiously waiting to react to Echoes live 2023 "A Summer to Remember" world tour with Gilmour, Waters and Mason!!!
When that tour happens… I’ll treat to the tickets!!
Sweet! I hope you will also pay the doctor bill after I damage my vocal cords that night! :)
You also did Rudy!? Awesome.
Yes! I love Rudy, School and Supertramp so much too! Thanks so much for watching... :)
@@retroreactions.... one of the best Supertramp songs, in my opinion, is From Now On. I'm not sure how to donate.... but reaction to that song would be awesome and I would love to support you for that!
Cool, that one is definitely on my list....thanks
th-cam.com/video/fAYcS1v36RQ/w-d-xo.html
Check out this song. The band is from Finland.
I think in 2006 I asked my uncle if he got something mellow, relaxing,
out of his huge rock and metal cd shelves.
He took this album and told me to listen to it at home before going to sleep and return it after some days.
The melodies, arrangements, atmosphere, depressing mood,...
Vocals aside, one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I ever had the pleasure to experience.
In my opinion, the most beautiful moment(s) of any Pink Floyd song:
The guitar solos of Burning Bridges and especially Mudmen.
Sooo beautiful. Not even writing a book about it could possibly explain how beautiful.
Wow, 2 PF songs I don't really hear mentioned here....interesting....I listened to that link. Absolutely gorgeous music, just my taste and when the violin or cello came in, pure heaven!! Thanks!!!
@@retroreactions.... You're very welcome. After watching some of your videos, I thought this might hit the right nerve. As the cello did with me first time listening to it 😊It would be a shame to not share this kind of beautiful music anyway. Those 2 PF songs... I was a fool for many many years, overlooking OBC completely, since there were no "epics" on that album... At first I wanted to recommend "Caravan - Nine Feet Underground" to you, but youtube deleted every single studio version of it, there had been at least 6 at the end of 2021 🙄
I wonder how well a full album reaction to OBC would do on the channel? I see 9 Feet on Spotify....22:44 length right?
@@retroreactions.... Exactly. Alt least spotify, that's good. Great song, really. AWESOME mellotronic organ solo. To me a OBC reaction would be nice to watch, since that album is soo overlooked. Others might find access to it/get to know it, watching your reaction video.
Or it could get no views LOL, but nah PF usually does great on my channel...maybe for its 51st anniversary!
Strange ! looks like Hey You is deleted from the movie ! don t know why ! because i remember it was in the movie ! i still have it on VHS but it s in my storage unit in Alberta and i m in Quebec ! 3,400 km from me ! 🤔
Hmm, so they took it out? Well, it's still early...please hop in the truck, drive there and back overnight, and upload it to YT tomorrow.... I'm sure traffic is light, it's a weekend LMAO....
Proprio così...hai detto bene.
David Gilmour nel suo meraviglioso assolo di chitarra ripete dal brano più famoso dell'album THE WALL (insieme a Confortably numb ) ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL ..."We don't need no education we don't need thought control..."
perfetto! grazie per aver confermato il mio amico
Brilliant brilliant brilliant!
The album takes a few turns, Pinks brush with Fascism and a really unpleasant bunch of other 'isms finally ending with the insanity of a cartoon / stage like twisted Trial inside his own head where he condemns himself for crimes of having feelings!
Wow, intense stuff on this album! Thanks so much for watching Phil!
It wasn't Pink himself that "brushed with fascism", but he was exploited by fascists after his mental breakdown. The lyrics of "In the Flesh" say: "Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel, and they sent us along as a surrogate band." Of course, there are many gaps in the story told in "The Wall", and it's up to the listener to fill them in their mind.
Great song awesome band, loved the reaction. You should broaden your horizons and check out Be Bop Deluxe Crying to the sky and Cosmic Dancer by T.Rex ot if you're looking for lots of hits, Black Betty by Ram Jam. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! Never heard of any of those bands.. all from the 70s?
@@retroreactions.... Yip all from the 70's I think T.Rex had a hit accross the pond with Bang a gong, it was called Get it on over here but apparently was too risky for the US of A
Comfortably Numb and Hey You would get most votes.
I’m a bit different..... MOTHER gets my vote.
I mean, we all got one YEAH !!!
LOL! We should therefore all love that one! Well, I do, I just don't know it yet haha....Will add your vote for it on my list, thanks!
@@retroreactions.... In our society mothers are essential to a child’s well being....... except many normal and even successful adults never met theirs or can remember them.
Many thousands of years ago it was rare for a mother to raise her children or even take any part....... the tribe or family did that.
Even today, royalty and the wealthy, especially celebrities, either send the kids off to private schools with college facilities or employ others to mother and father the kids.
In Rogers case, I think he had a good loving mother who was misguided by ignorance, fear and LOVE.
The result was she smothered him .
The love and care became the foundations of the WALL that has haunted his mental state and soul for the entirety of his living memory.
Wow...interesting...she clearly directly influenced much of his compositions then....
@@retroreactions.... She was a big influence on all his hang ups and personal insecurities....... all of which forms the DNA of almost all his lyrics.
Oh, forgot to point out that this is Gilmour on fretless bass. He was a far better player than Rog.
Dude Get the The Wall Movie, also Get Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal 2 movies..
Have you heard of Roger waters the lead singer?😮
You have…..try Amused to Death or It’s a Miracle or Perfect sense. It’s a superb record.
Are those his solo albums?
unfortunately, Richard Wright was fired during the wall album, mainly by Roger. Richard Wright was going through a lot of personal problems at the time, and really was not contributing much to the band unfortunately, although he has always been absolutely brilliant and his keyboard sounds have always been the glue of Pink Floyd. Even David Gilmour admitted that Richard Wright wasn’t contributing much of anything, and of course, Roger was not in a good place either, so the conflict between them led to the split very happy to see Richard a few years later, start to get himself together again, and was absolutely fantastic all the way up until his sad and untimely death and Richard’s final two solo albums were really really good never getting the attention they deserved especially the album broken China
Thanks for that great info bmille2121...He's so amazing...I should check if his solo work is on Spotify.
Of course the irony is that Richard Wright was immediately rehired as a touring musician and toured with The Wall without missing a beat.. becoming the only one from the band to make any money from the tour as the other members had all their profits tied up in the enormous expense it cost to put on such an extravagant show. They actually *lost* money on the deal which is why they had to put on such a truncated tour. Wright as a non-member had no such expenses and received a nice little payday. 😏
Also, while Roger gets a lot of the blame for the Wright firing it would later come out that he sought Dave's consent before making the move, who ultimately signed off on it. Richard was just a mess during that period.
Thanks for that shocking info!
@@flubblert good information. I did know that Richard was the only one to make money on the tour but I did not know that Dave actually completely signed off on Richard Wright firing. The only part I knew was that David admitted that Richard wasn’t contributing much at that time.
@@retroreactions.... yeah, it turned out all right for him, Brandon. First thing Dave did after Roger left in '85 was to rehire Richard as a full-fledged member for the upcoming album and tour for "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". He remained a full member till his death in 2008. Never missed a tour with the band. Even toured with Gilmour on his 2006 solo tour. (That Gdansk concert). Dave and Richard remained great friends to the end.
Brandon…don’t try to listen to The Wall track by track. I’ve seen other reactors try it and so many of the “songs” just don’t stand alone….They push the narrative forward but don’t stand alone as “songs”
Best to do as sides if you can
6-7 songs per side it would seem....
@@retroreactions.... many are very short.
This solo after "Open your heart, I am coming come" is beautifully haunting, almost impossible to stand... How can we expect that somebody stand such pain waiting to flow out... This need for Love in Gilmours solo shows the paradox that it will overload so fantastic... Simply Genius. Dave, The answer, when we just listen we can hug the inner child with his emotions, while replies Roger, its too late...
Not the hole album shows the pain beauty transformance bridges... There are so many complex little parts, not allways easy to listen, but worth every second😍
