Just no listen to the live version from 1974 (a year after the release) the reason why pulse became so popular was that pinkfloyd had only released one live record at that time ( Ummagumma) and that one is from there psykadelic period (1967 - 1970), but now pinkfloyd has resonly released live records from the "roger waters years" 1971 - 1980 and , acording to me, are soooooo much better than the polished pop versions of pulse.
@@empsmith Still to polished ( I was at the delicare sound of thunder tour and I still stand by my statement. PF after Roger is a little to polished and a little hmmmmm boring.
@@sonnychabert Sorry, I'd misread Your post(curse these aging eyes). I totally agree with you about post Waters. I think their best live album is Is There Anybody Out There.
Dark Side of the Moon came out on March 1st, 1973. I was a freshman in high school at the time. In the last 51 years, I've had at least one copy in my music collection since i bought my first copy back then. The album also has spent 990 weeks, and counting, on the Billboard top 200 charts.
If you want to be blown away try pink Floyd comfortably numb at the pulse concert. David's solo is epic in every way possible. The light show in its self is mind blowing.
personal opinion, of course gilmore's guitar work is nothing short of legendary but nick mason's drum intro in this piece is one of the most tasteful, graceful, and potent percussion arrangements ever written, recorded and performed.
The 3 vocalist in this song are Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, and Liza Strike. Clair Torey sings a 4 and a half minute solo on the next song with NO WORDS! Amazing!!!!
Definitely DO NOT play the live Pulse concert video to see the vocal performances........at least until you hear the far superior studio album version first with the irreplaceable Clare Torry
@VonBlade it is not that the singers in the Pulse Concert couldn't sing. Quite the contrary; they were awesome. Clare Torry was the one who composed the vocals and did in two and a half takes. The album version is a must listen to version. However, both versions should be listened to.
I definitely agree that both versions are must listens. Clare Torrey's version was the original and fantastic, I prefer the PULSE version. The range of vocal styles for the the 3 sections is perfect, and I feel that Sam's portion is the definitive Great Gig sound.
October 20th 1994 at earls court London England. I was at the pulse concert. When Floyd performed the great gig in the sky everyone's jaw dropped to the floor. They brought the house down with one of these days. Both are a must pulse reaction. I'm 68 now was in the navy when I was at pulse. Keep them coming pretty lady.
It was a hell of a night, first seen in 1972, first and only time I saw them without medication was at this concert, unless you count a few pints of London Pride. Stay safe and well young man.
All of the tracks on Dark Side Of The Moon transition from one to the next, so what you've just listened to is actually one and a half songs. The song "Breathe" starts earlier on the record before transitioning to a track called "On The Run" which then transitions into "Time". "Time" actually ends when they sing 'The song is over, thought I'd something more to say.' and it then transitions back into "Breathe (Reprise)". You've therefore just listened to "Time" and half of "Breathe".
Echoes live in Gdansk; comfortably numb live at pulse concert; high hopes live in Gdansk; ob an island live in Gdansk…. Best songs for me… guitar solos are just from another galaxy.
One of my favorite classic rock songs by pink Floyd Kelly it never gets old which actually what the song is about when one gets older and gets up in years . Wintersun Alex and Cathy ❄️🫶🫶
Any song from the 'Pulse concert ' will blow your mind, the Floyd invented both the idea of a light show and surround sound, both of which they use to full effect at their shows ,they are masters of the sensory experience. May I suggest, Coming Back to Life, One of These Days, Run Like Hell, Take it Back, The Great Gig in the Sky, ( everything) from Pulse and On The Turning Away, One Slip from The Delicate Sound of Thunder concert from 1988 ,all are guaranteed to please.
Absolute Classic Masterpiece. ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’. You need to listen to the whole Album from beginning to end, as it’s meant to be. Only 44 minutes. Lying down, headphones on, nice and loud, in the dark. Just like I did when I bought the Album on the day of release, in 1973, age 17. And I still have my original Vinyl Album. I’ll never tire of hearing it. Genius. The ‘Wish You Were Here’ Album, 2 years later in 1975, needs to be listened to the same way, from start to finish. 🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶
There is "Music" and there is "Pink Floyd". They brings you somewhere out of your body. Pink Floyd made me fly for the last 55 years and I've been bless for that! For me this is the BEST band of all times.
If you want a live reaction pick any song from the Pulse concert. You will be blown away. I would like to suggest Great Gig in the Sky. Fantastic vocals.
If you do want to see them live definitely do it from their 1994 division Bell tour called the Pulse concert!! When Floyd does a live show they put speakers on the stage behind the audience on both sides of the audience and above the audience and create a giant set of headphones for the audience!! Nobody sounds better live. Also they utilized 98 million worth of equipment for their lighting and sound for that concert tour in 1994 dollars!! Just letting you know that nobody puts on a concert like Floyd. If you had ever gone to a Pink Floyd concert it would leave you speechless!
The album "Dark Side of the Moon" revolves around a central theme that binds each of the songs and which is: (What drives people crazy). (BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy. (ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy. (TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy. (THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy. (MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy. (US AND THEM); If the abusive hierarchy between color, power or wealth between US AND THEM can drive people crazy. (ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy. (BRAIN DAMAGE); If the fear of losing their mind can drive people crazy. (ECLIPSE); If the fact that our life seems to be limited to, (All that you touch - And all that you see...) can drive people crazy. So be aware that even the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the Dark Side of the Moon.
Hey Kelley... Enjoyed your reaction to this "small" piece of musical history. This band, and this album specifically, are memorialized and selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Suffice it to say, your challenge is not without pitfalls. To even begin to dive into the PINK FLOYD waters is daunting. And if you're going to do it, do it with your eyes wide open. There are only two types of PF fanatics. The historian or the pedestrian. With the first you'll never get it right, and with the second it doesn't matter as long as you're genuine with your reactions. I suggest you be genuine and not worry about getting it "right". With all the lore of the LEGEND of PF you'll be able to pick up quite a bit of the magic this legendary band has amassed in their recordings. You started with a whooper but there are bigger "pieces" of their legacy. As mentioned MULTIPLE times many of they're "album" releases are "concept" albums. A concept runs through and connects each of the "tracks". It's risky to pull a single track out of a concept album for analysis. Primarily because it loses context as part of the whole. It CAN be done only because tracks on an album are broken apart by "dead space". But FLOYD began defeating that practice with their following album, WISH YOU WERE HERE. All of the tracks were a single, continuous recording being broken by dead space only when they ran out of room on the vinyl format and had to turn the record over. Don't be fearful of the longer play times of this type. In fact, I suggest 'leaning into' longer tracks. You'll discover some of the most immersive, challenging and satisfying recordings to date. You mentioned the Moody Blues and they had some long run times for the period. In actuality, I was warming you up for some of my suggestions... Music by YES (progressive rock) from the same era or DREAM THEATER (progressive metal) from the mid 80s to now. And ultimately to NIGHTWISH (symphonic metal) from the early 90s to now. But for now, your follow-up to TIME, the monumental COMFORTABLY NUMB Live, from the PULSE DVD. Other great recordings by Dream Theater like DANCE OF ETERNITY and one of the greatest live performances by Nightwish, GHOST LOVE SCORE from their headlining set Wäcken Open Air 2013. Enjoy!! From the Colorado Division of the NIGHTWISH ARMY.
@@josephbishop3590 I've done alot of Nightwish they are amazing and I look forward to dig deeper into Pink Floyd.. Thank you for your kindness and watching
if you want to see the guys back in the day. Pink Floyd "Echoes (Part I)" live at Pompeii 1972 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods A little song about all life on the entire planet and how we are all related and should be better human beings.
David Gilmour, in my humble opinion, is one of the finest guitarists in the world. When he dies, the world will have lost a legend. He wasn't the fastest one, but he could bend those notes to talk directly to your soul.
The Floyd actually brought in 4 backing vocalists for this album. If you want to see the band at work, try "Echoes" from Live At Pompeii (1971) and their final concert at Live 8 in July of 2005. Then of course there is their PULSE videos, minus Roger Waters, any and all of those songs are top notch. Buried in that show they perform the whole Dark Side Of the Moon album. The Floyd experience is very deep and well thought out. The music, the lyrics, themes, non-musical elements all evoke a verisimilitude. Though in that vein it can be dark and sobering. But the intent is sincere and that's why they are the top band in the panoply of the rock era. One leads a diminished life not knowing Pink Floyd.
There were no females in the band officially, but this album in particular features quite a bit of background singers, and the song that comes immediately after this one (Great Gig in the Sky) is completely sung by a woman and it’s one of the most surreal rock songs ever recorded in my opinion. As far as what they look like, you won’t find much in terms of live videos from their epic period, the four albums from Dark Side of The Moon to The Wall. They performed quite a bit but were also notoriously anonymous during the 1970s. You’ll find quite a bit of videos from before 1972 and then from 1987 through 1994, and as I’m sure others have already said, their Pulse concert from 1994 is mind blowing. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
The Band line up at this time was David Gilmour - Lead Guitar /Vocals Roger Waters - Bass Guitar / Vocals /lyrics Richard Wright - Keyboards / Vocals Nick Mason - Percussion Female backing vocals are not in the band. Vocalist for Great Gig in the Sky was Claire Torry She was only paid a small session fee but later got writing credit and an undisclosed sum. She performed 2 1/2 takes, basically made it up and left without knowing if her recording was going to be used! In an interview she said it was all a bit awkward, the band didn't say anything. (think they were a bit stunned😂)
Yes, I've found that Gilmour's and Felder's styles can be similar. Both have melody and phrasing that perfectly serves the music. Some of the licks in Comfortably Numb and Hotel California, for example, are comparable.
Agreed! And Rick's vocal sound was clearly a massive influence on The Alan Parsons Project as a whole. It's almost like they tried to emulate him in a lot of their music, which is a great thing! Huge fan of both bands.
@@susanmccall736 I knew I was going to get some comments about the Eagles I wasn't comparing the two, they're both their own entities. that there was just a Melody portion that kind of resembled the Eagles just a little tid bit
🎊 Pink Floyd “Dark Side of the Moon” was meant to be heard in its entirety…in one sitting. It’s a “concept album.” It’s a vibe; one song flows into the next. In 1973 I was going to college and was introduced to Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac “Mystery to Me”…and marijuana. Music never sounded so good. You should try on some “Hypnotized” (1973) by Fleetwood Mac…not too many reactions have been done to it…but it’ll blow you away; guaranteed.
Try Echoes live at Pompeii first. 1972. Then go to Pulse which was 1994. The 3 ladies first appeared on Dark Side of the Moon which this track was on. 1973.👍👍
Side Note: You & I have the same color eyes. Jus' Say'n I still have my original album I purchased in the local record store waaaaay back when this came out. Remember record stores?
Well Pink Floyd is a rabbit hole worth going down. More specifically, this album as a whole, Dark Side of the Moon. Your musical journey/education is incomplete until you have listened to the whole album from start to finish. It is not a collection of songs, rather it is like a progressive rock symphony which has a coherent theme and tells a story. And there is a reason it remains one of THE highest selling albums of all time - it is pure musical and lyrical genius. And on top of that it has been placed into the (US) Library of Congress list of the most influential recordings of all time. Pretty amazing considering it's a British band. Then there is a documentary by the band on the making of: th-cam.com/video/jUBnS5G34IM/w-d-xo.html ( PINK FLOYD - The Dark Side Of The Moon 2003 Documentary HD ) Their comments about Time start at 6:00 timestamp of the video. David says "The big move forward on Dark Side of the Moon is when Roger's coming of age lyrically. And having the ideas and the intelligence to take a subject and examine it in all it's parts in all those different songs" Then Roger explains "It has some kind of universal appeal in that it confronts a number of major psychological and emotional concerns" And no David Gilmour's guitar is not comparable to the Eagles. His style is unique and if you hear something familiar, it's because others have attempted to copy him. Suggestions: Anything from the PULSE concert such as: th-cam.com/video/84Tq-eAJIk4/w-d-xo.html ( Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) ) th-cam.com/video/rgmce_XukRQ/w-d-xo.html ( Pink Floyd - Money (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) ) th-cam.com/video/CK_BcyKOAt4/w-d-xo.html ( Pink Floyd - One Of These Days (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) ) And Echoes is a Floyd song, but this is one of the better live recordings, from David's tour in Gdansk Poland, shortly before Rick passed away. (David guitar and Rick on keyboards were the primary musical artists for Floyd. Yes Roger did all the lyrics brilliantly, and sketched out some tunes, but David and Rick took those pencil sketches and created the Mona Lisa) th-cam.com/video/EMneCi9F_UQ/w-d-xo.html ( David Gilmour - Echoes (Live In Gdańsk) ) And yes that riff does sound like Phantom of the Opera, because a decade and a half after this song came out in 1971, Andrew Lloyd Webber copied it - Floyd did not pursue copyright against him.... David will no longer play Echoes, as he says it cannot be done without Rick.
@@dboss7239 again, I will say it was not the guitar or the song/band it self there's a little melody or 4-6 seconds bit that it sounded like a Melody of the Eagles... Im aware they are their own entity. They are definitely two different bands. But there are times where you get that Vibe where you feel this almost kind of resembles someone else's song or a part in the song or what have you. I know there's no comparison with the bands just a little melody sound.... *note to self keep my opinions to myself I guess... but I know all of you hardcore fans of Pink Floyd will not be considerate enough or respect other people's opinions or misunderstand my opinions so I guess I'm just going to critique it the best way I can without offending anybody or getting people so jacked up over one tiny little comment. I will check out the documentary and I appreciate your other comments and information regarding the band I do I'm just starting to get a little flustered over this whole thing of comparing the bands I was not comparing the bands just a little melody...I do this channel and reactions to keep me sane since my dad passed away last year. Sorry if I came across rude at the start of this message but I'm just getting a little frustrated with some of the comments. I know they're hardcore fans out there that don't understand respect or boundaries with their comments I'm a huge fan of a lot of bands and I do not get mad at newbies and comment rude comments or get mad at them. (not you) I guess I just believe in being respectful and being able to share my opinion without getting criticized..... I'm all about positivity and being kind and respectful with my comments
@@KellysReactions OK got it.... Perhaps in future just clarify it is a little melody hook you found similar. What you said sounded like a direct comparison between apples and oranges, instead of a snippet of a phrase or melody that sounds similar.... No doubt great guitarists sometimes use phrases or phrasing that are similar, and indeed Joe Walsh of early Eagles has some similar phrasings in his solos to David Gilmour. And to be fair, even David Gilmour has said he had a terrible habit of playing bits of songs by other people when they were composing and Roger would say what's that and can we use it, but David would say "can't use it, it belongs to someone else". He says this in this short documentary about Wish You Were Here which is both the album title and a song title: (the part about playing other people's stuff comes at time 6:37) th-cam.com/video/9G91HQRSKW4/w-d-xo.html ( David Gilmour Talks About Wish You Were Here ) I guess my point is yes, you may be able to find some snippets of solos, phrases or melodies that are similar to other works. But saying Pink Floyd sounds like The Eagles is simply not correct. And the main Eagles hits came several years after Dark Side of the Moon to be accurate. If you have recently suffered a loss then you might consider doing a reaction to the live version of Wish You Were Here from the link I sent above. However have tissues on hand. It is extremely moving and universally tugs at the heartstrings....
The intro, the 12-bar part after the alarm clocks, acts as a kind of a metaphor for the song. The space between the power chords is increasingly “busy”, more drum fills and notes. I used to think the intro was too long and now it goes by very fast.
When I was younger and first heard this when it came out, I was impatient with the slow tempo build up of the instrumental intro, but afterwards I realized that was the point. How when you are young, you are impatient and want to be older quickly. And one day you;d rather time slowed down. Only later did I understand how Pink Floyd not only tells you about taking time/life for granted in the lyrics, they make the listeners experience it. After that I appreciate that instrumental intro more each listen, and it flys by now.
@@andreabindolini7452 well I wasn't comparing them band to band. there was like a small little Melody and I should have probably emphasized that a little more, that was just a little Melody for 4 to 6 seconds that kind of resembled the Eagles melody but not the band. I know that their own entities they are totally different, but thank you for your comment and thank you for watching❤️❤️
The guitar sound is as follows ; ) : Frustration, challenge, defeat, gutteral screams of rage, solemn and sorry tears ofinevitable loss not yet rendered, exhaustion and drifting off to sleep. The rhythm guitar is like the sheep chewing the grass, oblivious to the passing of time but the guitar breaks and solo scream out the alarm of realizing you've lost sight of the prize.
PF are in a class of their own. I highly suggest you comment on a video of the song 'Comfortably Numb' from the Pulse Concert. In that if you watch the audience, they stand or sit quietly mesmerized and 'Feeling' the experience, the audience rarely moves in a physical sense. Please go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole, you wont regret it.
@Rassskle as I said.. On the Dark side of the moon album there were 4 backing female vocalists. Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Liza Strike and Barry St. John. And Clare Torry on Great gig
Hello Kelly, I enjoyed your reaction to Time. You should check out the Pulse concert to see Pink Floyd live, if you don't have the time for the whole concert then try Comfortably Numb from the concert. Alex.
you can play some songs from the pulse tour in 1994 ! i saw that concert in Montreal ! great sounds ! and you can see the 3 females singing ! live show is better with Pink Floyd ! 😎
@@KellysReactions I saw their debut tour of this Album, which is to be listened to at Home, with Headphones in a dark room, continuously, in isolation. The Concert was at Earls Court in West London in 1973 with 18,000 others and the cost ? £1 or $1.34..lol
When David Gilmour plays it feels like your soul is being caressed, please look at any song from the Pulse concert it will blow your mind away, couple of suggestions is this one Time, On the turning away, comfortably numb, you will not be disappointed in the slightest.
@@davidshort2313 I did Comfortably Numb a while back when I first started so It had been awhile from doing Pink Floyd but I'm hoping to do more of them as time goes on, thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate you, thank you for watching
You really should play the studio version of Great Gig in the sky first in order to get the power of Clair Torrey first in my opinion as the song really belongs to her.
As you already did react to Heilung and it seems you like metal: you might want to react to Aurora; start with „5 4 3 2 1 murder song“ live from the nobel peace price concert; from there just jump down the rabbit hole; it’s a deep one.
No Band like Pink Floyd,..... None! Check out some of their 1994 Pulse Concert at Earls Court, "Comfortably Numb, "Sorrow", "High Hopes", "Learning To Fly", "Money", etc. It's an incredible live performance, as Pink Floyd is mightily known for throughout their career, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s. Even today, David Gilmour, (guitarist and lead singer of PF since 1968), has released an album this past September, "Luck and Strange", at 78 years old!
Brain Damage/Eclipse next. It's a go. Look how long this album stayed on the charts. Record breaking. Slow down and take some time before there is no more.
Thank you Ronnie.... I was in Northern UK in Sept but I was hoping to make it to Scotland but time wouldnt allow. Thank you for watching appreciate it!
As was common in the '70's, Time is not a song on its own, but rather a segment of the album Dark Side of the Moon. Beginning in late high school and through college and beyond, I bought and listened to albums, not songs. Particularly, Dark Side of the Moon is a complete piece of music as one. Another great one is Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull. I hear you can only have time for songs or segments, and those are enjoyable too, just letting you know the context.
@@xflyingtiger tell that to the fan who sent me this link. 😉 ❤️😁 I use what people send me... Cause you are all fans some just have different preferences... Thanks for watching
I'm sure she is hearing the Joe Walsh influences on the Eagles. Even though the rest is not much to see a similar sound. Joe is a force in his own right, but as she puts more of a catalog, she also will see more difference than similarities. Both guitarists are magic makers.
@@davidrodenkirk5561 it was just like a small portion of Melody, I wasnt comparing the bands there was just a vibe or short melody that resembled just the melody, 4-6 seconds or so. Thank you for your comment... ❤️
Their Pulse concert which is available here on youtube is considered one of the best live performances of all time and is truly a masterpiece.

on the album it transitions into The Great Gig in the Sky
possibly the deepest dive into the emotions and experience of death ever recorded.
All of the tracks on Dark Side Of The Moon transition from one to the next, so what you've just listened to is actually one and a half songs. The song "Breathe" starts earlier on the record before transitioning to a track called "On The Run" which then transitions into "Time". "Time" actually ends when they sing 'The song is over, thought I'd something more to say.' and it then transitions back into "Breathe (Reprise)". You've therefore just listened to "Time" and half of "Breathe".
"Dogs", "Pigs (3 Different Ones)", and "Sheep" from the Animals album are legendary.
Echoes live in Gdansk; comfortably numb live at pulse concert; high hopes live in Gdansk; ob an island live in Gdansk…. Best songs for me… guitar solos are just from another galaxy.
Pink Floyd , Masters of emotion. There will never be another. Never. Interstellar pilots.

The entire Dark Side album is a MUST listen. Start to finish. It's a full experience.
The album was on the charts for 990 weeks. Try listening start-to-finish. 990 weeks.

When Floyd does a live show they put speakers on the stage behind the audience on both sides of the audience and above the audience and create a giant set of headphones for the audience!! Nobody sounds better live. Also they utilized 98 million worth of equipment for their lighting and sound for that concert tour in 1994 dollars!! Just letting you know that nobody puts on a concert like Floyd. If you had ever gone to a Pink Floyd concert it would leave you speechless!
Absolutely true - the stage production of Pink Floyd has always been second to none :)
I have ( Earl's Court) and it did .🤘
I now own the 50th Anniversary box set of Dark Side of the Moon. Very expensive but worth every dime. A must for every Pink Floyd collection.
I'd recommend "Comfortably Numb" from the "Pulse" video concert and "Great Gig in the Sky" from the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" video concert.
The lyrics….the lyrics!!!
Always. They are the source of all the music.
The album "Dark Side of the Moon" revolves around a central theme that binds each of the songs and which is: (What drives people crazy).
(BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy.
(ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy.
(TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy.
(THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy.
(MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy.
(US AND THEM); If the abusive hierarchy between color, power or wealth between US AND THEM can drive people crazy.
(ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy.
(BRAIN DAMAGE); If the fear of losing their mind can drive people crazy.
(ECLIPSE); If the fact that our life seems to be limited to, (All that you touch - And all that you see...) can drive people crazy.
So be aware that even the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the Dark Side of the Moon.
One must listen to the whole album. on vinyl, through headphones. Then we'll talk.
The great gig!
An absolute must listen for you.
Hey Kelley...
Enjoyed your reaction to this "small" piece of musical history.
This band, and this album specifically, are memorialized and selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Suffice it to say, your challenge is not without pitfalls. To even begin to dive into the PINK FLOYD waters is daunting. And if you're going to do it, do it with your eyes wide open.
There are only two types of PF fanatics. The historian or the pedestrian. With the first you'll never get it right, and with the second it doesn't matter as long as you're genuine with your reactions.
I suggest you be genuine and not worry about getting it "right".
With all the lore of the LEGEND of PF you'll be able to pick up quite a bit of the magic this legendary band has amassed in their recordings.
You started with a whooper but there are bigger "pieces" of their legacy. As mentioned MULTIPLE times many of they're "album" releases are "concept" albums. A concept runs through and connects each of the "tracks".
It's risky to pull a single track out of a concept album for analysis. Primarily because it loses context as part of the whole. It CAN be done only because tracks on an album are broken apart by "dead space". But FLOYD began defeating that practice with their following album, WISH YOU WERE HERE. All of the tracks were a single, continuous recording being broken by dead space only when they ran out of room on the vinyl format and had to turn the record over. Don't be fearful of the longer play times of this type.
In fact, I suggest 'leaning into' longer tracks. You'll discover some of the most immersive, challenging and satisfying recordings to date. You mentioned the Moody Blues and they had some long run times for the period.
In actuality, I was warming you up for some of my suggestions...
Music by YES (progressive rock) from the same era or DREAM THEATER (progressive metal) from the mid 80s to now. And ultimately to NIGHTWISH (symphonic metal) from the early 90s to now.
But for now, your follow-up to TIME, the monumental COMFORTABLY NUMB Live, from the PULSE DVD.
Other great recordings by Dream Theater like DANCE OF ETERNITY and one of the greatest live performances by Nightwish, GHOST LOVE SCORE from their headlining set Wäcken Open Air 2013.
Enjoy!! From the Colorado Division of the NIGHTWISH ARMY.
@@josephbishop3590 I've done alot of Nightwish they are amazing and I look forward to dig deeper into Pink Floyd.. Thank you for your kindness and watching
Pink Floyd as a band started in the mid 60's, their final album as a group was released in 2014
if you want to see the guys back in the day.
Pink Floyd "Echoes (Part I)" live at Pompeii 1972
No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods
A little song about all life on the entire planet and how we are all related and should be better human beings.
David Gilmour, in my humble opinion, is one of the finest guitarists in the world. When he dies, the world will have lost a legend. He wasn't the fastest one, but he could bend those notes to talk directly to your soul.
The Floyd actually brought in 4 backing vocalists for this album. If you want to see the band at work, try "Echoes" from Live At Pompeii (1971) and their final concert at Live 8 in July of 2005. Then of course there is their PULSE videos, minus Roger Waters, any and all of those songs are top notch. Buried in that show they perform the whole Dark Side Of the Moon album.
The Floyd experience is very deep and well thought out. The music, the lyrics, themes, non-musical elements all evoke a verisimilitude. Though in that vein it can be dark and sobering. But the intent is sincere and that's why they are the top band in the panoply of the rock era. One leads a diminished life not knowing Pink Floyd.
They actually had 4 different females that helped them out this album.
yes but The Great Gig In The Sky was Clare Torry solo
There were no females in the band officially, but this album in particular features quite a bit of background singers, and the song that comes immediately after this one (Great Gig in the Sky) is completely sung by a woman and it’s one of the most surreal rock songs ever recorded in my opinion. As far as what they look like, you won’t find much in terms of live videos from their epic period, the four albums from Dark Side of The Moon to The Wall. They performed quite a bit but were also notoriously anonymous during the 1970s. You’ll find quite a bit of videos from before 1972 and then from 1987 through 1994, and as I’m sure others have already said, their Pulse concert from 1994 is mind blowing. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
The Band line up at this time was
David Gilmour - Lead Guitar /Vocals
Roger Waters - Bass Guitar / Vocals /lyrics
Richard Wright - Keyboards / Vocals
Nick Mason - Percussion
Female backing vocals are not in the band.
Vocalist for Great Gig in the Sky was Claire Torry
She was only paid a small session fee but later got writing credit and an undisclosed sum.
She performed 2 1/2 takes, basically made it up and left without knowing if her recording was going to be used!
In an interview she said it was all a bit awkward, the band didn't say anything.
(think they were a bit stunned😂)
who in todays world is close to writing producing recording an album of such magnitude?
No one
Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree
I went to godsmack this year and they open up with Pink Floyd time and they did the song really good.
Yes, I've found that Gilmour's and Felder's styles can be similar. Both have melody and phrasing that perfectly serves the music. Some of the licks in Comfortably Numb and Hotel California, for example, are comparable.
@@kevinbrine4223 thank you so much. Thank you for watching your the best.
Evergreen shoutout to Alan Parsons, sound engineer extraordinaire
Agreed! And Rick's vocal sound was clearly a massive influence on The Alan Parsons Project as a whole. It's almost like they tried to emulate him in a lot of their music, which is a great thing! Huge fan of both bands.
Pink Floyd---- The Eagles poles apart!
@@susanmccall736 I knew I was going to get some comments about the Eagles I wasn't comparing the two, they're both their own entities. that there was just a Melody portion that kind of resembled the Eagles just a little tid bit
I love 'Poles Apart' one of the best Pink Floyd songs.... 🤣
@@gbsailing9436 I am completely lost about this thread lol......
@@KellysReactions @susanmccall736 suggested that PF and The Eagles were poles apart...PF does a wonderful song called "poles apart"...
Poles Apart is a wildly underrated song!
🎊 Pink Floyd “Dark Side of the Moon” was meant to be heard in its entirety…in one sitting. It’s a “concept album.” It’s a vibe; one song flows into the next. In 1973 I was going to college and was introduced to Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac “Mystery to Me”…and marijuana. Music never sounded so good. You should try on some “Hypnotized” (1973) by Fleetwood Mac…not too many reactions have been done to it…but it’ll blow you away; guaranteed.
Try Echoes live at Pompeii first. 1972. Then go to Pulse which was 1994. The 3 ladies first appeared on Dark Side of the Moon which this track was on. 1973.👍👍
I can tell that you love music. Great reaction. You really should take that dive down the rabbit hole ✌️🫶
Try 'Comfortably numb' LIVE from the PULSE concert 1994. (remastered).
Now! That's a performance.
@GutsGrizzle I've done their comfortable numb but may do the live version.. I did it a year ago.... ❤️
Side Note: You & I have the same color eyes. Jus' Say'n I still have my original album I purchased in the local record store waaaaay back when this came out. Remember record stores?
The time Has gonne❤
Thanks for keeping an open mind. The ladies were some times used as backup vocalists, not full members.
Well Pink Floyd is a rabbit hole worth going down. More specifically, this album as a whole, Dark Side of the Moon. Your musical journey/education is incomplete until you have listened to the whole album from start to finish. It is not a collection of songs, rather it is like a progressive rock symphony which has a coherent theme and tells a story. And there is a reason it remains one of THE highest selling albums of all time - it is pure musical and lyrical genius. And on top of that it has been placed into the (US) Library of Congress list of the most influential recordings of all time. Pretty amazing considering it's a British band.
Then there is a documentary by the band on the making of:
th-cam.com/video/jUBnS5G34IM/w-d-xo.html ( PINK FLOYD - The Dark Side Of The Moon 2003 Documentary HD ) Their comments about Time start at 6:00 timestamp of the video. David says "The big move forward on Dark Side of the Moon is when Roger's coming of age lyrically. And having the ideas and the intelligence to take a subject and examine it in all it's parts in all those different songs" Then Roger explains "It has some kind of universal appeal in that it confronts a number of major psychological and emotional concerns"
And no David Gilmour's guitar is not comparable to the Eagles. His style is unique and if you hear something familiar, it's because others have attempted to copy him.
Suggestions: Anything from the PULSE concert such as:
th-cam.com/video/84Tq-eAJIk4/w-d-xo.html ( Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) )
th-cam.com/video/rgmce_XukRQ/w-d-xo.html ( Pink Floyd - Money (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) )
th-cam.com/video/CK_BcyKOAt4/w-d-xo.html ( Pink Floyd - One Of These Days (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) )
And Echoes is a Floyd song, but this is one of the better live recordings, from David's tour in Gdansk Poland, shortly before Rick passed away. (David guitar and Rick on keyboards were the primary musical artists for Floyd. Yes Roger did all the lyrics brilliantly, and sketched out some tunes, but David and Rick took those pencil sketches and created the Mona Lisa)
th-cam.com/video/EMneCi9F_UQ/w-d-xo.html ( David Gilmour - Echoes (Live In Gdańsk) ) And yes that riff does sound like Phantom of the Opera, because a decade and a half after this song came out in 1971, Andrew Lloyd Webber copied it - Floyd did not pursue copyright against him.... David will no longer play Echoes, as he says it cannot be done without Rick.
@@dboss7239 again, I will say it was not the guitar or the song/band it self there's a little melody or 4-6 seconds bit that it sounded like a Melody of the Eagles... Im aware they are their own entity. They are definitely two different bands. But there are times where you get that Vibe where you feel this almost kind of resembles someone else's song or a part in the song or what have you. I know there's no comparison with the bands just a little melody sound.... *note to self keep my opinions to myself I guess... but I know all of you hardcore fans of Pink Floyd will not be considerate enough or respect other people's opinions or misunderstand my opinions so I guess I'm just going to critique it the best way I can without offending anybody or getting people so jacked up over one tiny little comment. I will check out the documentary and I appreciate your other comments and information regarding the band I do I'm just starting to get a little flustered over this whole thing of comparing the bands I was not comparing the bands just a little melody...I do this channel and reactions to keep me sane since my dad passed away last year. Sorry if I came across rude at the start of this message but I'm just getting a little frustrated with some of the comments. I know they're hardcore fans out there that don't understand respect or boundaries with their comments I'm a huge fan of a lot of bands and I do not get mad at newbies and comment rude comments or get mad at them. (not you) I guess I just believe in being respectful and being able to share my opinion without getting criticized..... I'm all about positivity and being kind and respectful with my comments
@@KellysReactions OK got it.... Perhaps in future just clarify it is a little melody hook you found similar. What you said sounded like a direct comparison between apples and oranges, instead of a snippet of a phrase or melody that sounds similar.... No doubt great guitarists sometimes use phrases or phrasing that are similar, and indeed Joe Walsh of early Eagles has some similar phrasings in his solos to David Gilmour. And to be fair, even David Gilmour has said he had a terrible habit of playing bits of songs by other people when they were composing and Roger would say what's that and can we use it, but David would say "can't use it, it belongs to someone else". He says this in this short documentary about Wish You Were Here which is both the album title and a song title: (the part about playing other people's stuff comes at time 6:37)
th-cam.com/video/9G91HQRSKW4/w-d-xo.html ( David Gilmour Talks About Wish You Were Here )
I guess my point is yes, you may be able to find some snippets of solos, phrases or melodies that are similar to other works. But saying Pink Floyd sounds like The Eagles is simply not correct. And the main Eagles hits came several years after Dark Side of the Moon to be accurate.
If you have recently suffered a loss then you might consider doing a reaction to the live version of Wish You Were Here from the link I sent above. However have tissues on hand. It is extremely moving and universally tugs at the heartstrings....
@@dboss7239 Thank you
The intro, the 12-bar part after the alarm clocks, acts as a kind of a metaphor for the song. The space between the power chords is increasingly “busy”, more drum fills and notes. I used to think the intro was too long and now it goes by very fast.
When I was younger and first heard this when it came out, I was impatient with the slow tempo build up of the instrumental intro, but afterwards I realized that was the point. How when you are young, you are impatient and want to be older quickly. And one day you;d rather time slowed down. Only later did I understand how Pink Floyd not only tells you about taking time/life for granted in the lyrics, they make the listeners experience it. After that I appreciate that instrumental intro more each listen, and it flys by now.
First time in my life I heard Pink Floyd compared to the Eagles. Good reaction
@@andreabindolini7452 well I wasn't comparing them band to band. there was like a small little Melody and I should have probably emphasized that a little more, that was just a little Melody for 4 to 6 seconds that kind of resembled the Eagles melody but not the band. I know that their own entities they are totally different, but thank you for your comment and thank you for watching❤️❤️
The guitar sound is as follows ; ) : Frustration, challenge, defeat, gutteral screams of rage, solemn and sorry tears ofinevitable loss not yet rendered, exhaustion and drifting off to sleep.
The rhythm guitar is like the sheep chewing the grass, oblivious to the passing of time but the guitar breaks and solo scream out the alarm of realizing you've lost sight of the prize.
as for females in Floyd, I would love to see your take on 'Great gig in the sky' from the dark side of the moon album
Agreed, Great Gig in the Sky should be next. I have a ridiculous amount of Pink Floyd and it's one of my favourite mainstream tracks.
Great Gig from the Delicate Sound tour with Margaret Taylor, Durga McBroom and Rachel Fury.
PF are in a class of their own. I highly suggest you comment on a video of the song 'Comfortably Numb' from the Pulse Concert. In that if you watch the audience, they stand or sit quietly mesmerized and 'Feeling' the experience, the audience rarely moves in a physical sense. Please go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole, you wont regret it.
Great Reaction Sorrow from Pulse live concert is awesome!
4 back up lady vocalists in the album Dark side of the moon.
To my knowledge there was definitely 2 backing vocalists plus Clare Torre as lead for The Great Gig, but 4 seems over the top.
@Rassskle as I said.. On the Dark side of the moon album there were 4 backing female vocalists.
Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Liza Strike and Barry St. John.
And Clare Torry on Great gig
This legendary song is from Dark Side of the Moon, you should hear the entire album sometime, it would freak you out! Enjoy.
Hello Kelly, I enjoyed your reaction to Time. You should check out the Pulse concert to see Pink Floyd live, if you don't have the time for the whole concert then try Comfortably Numb from the concert.
Alex.
@@AlexAnderson-c4c I've done comfortably numb awhile back but may still react to it. Tha knyou for watching, much appreciated 😁❤️
The female vocalists on Time are Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Liza Strike, and Barry St. John.
you can play some songs from the pulse tour in 1994 ! i saw that concert in Montreal ! great sounds ! and you can see the 3 females singing ! live show is better with Pink Floyd ! 😎
Pink Floyd guitar doesn't sound like the Eagles. The Eagles sound like Pink Floyd. 😂
I listened to this in a dark room and a joint at 18 still doing it to this day I’m 76
Right on! 😉
@@KellysReactions I saw their debut tour of this Album, which is to be listened to at Home, with Headphones in a dark room, continuously, in isolation.
The Concert was at Earls Court in West London in 1973 with 18,000 others and the cost ? £1 or $1.34..lol
Please check out the Pulse LIVE version of TIME. These guys were true masters of the art of live performance.
Welcome to the world of multiple eargasms!
But this is such a great song.
When David Gilmour plays it feels like your soul is being caressed, please look at any song from the Pulse concert it will blow your mind away, couple of suggestions is this one Time, On the turning away, comfortably numb, you will not be disappointed in the slightest.
@@davidshort2313 I did Comfortably Numb a while back when I first started so It had been awhile from doing Pink Floyd but I'm hoping to do more of them as time goes on, thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate you, thank you for watching
I see these 14 time live
She is a session singer called clare torie ,listen to the great gig in the sky to hear how good she was.
Try 'great gig in the sky' LIVE at PULSE concert 1994. (it's from the Dark side of the moon album.
They always had 3, sometimes 4 background singers.
It's a Fender Stratocaster and they tend to have a "brighter" sound as opposed to say a Gibson Les Paul which tend to be more mellow to my ear.
Watch their Pulse concert A great light show + their music
Money is my favorite PF
Would love to see you react to Acid Bath. Any album or song.
I will add it to my list thanks for watching. appreciate you!
You really should play the studio version of Great Gig in the sky first in order to get the power of Clair Torrey first in my opinion as the song really belongs to her.
As you already did react to Heilung and it seems you like metal: you might want to react to Aurora; start with „5 4 3 2 1 murder song“ live from the nobel peace price concert; from there just jump down the rabbit hole; it’s a deep one.
Ah, you already did an Aurora reaction; there never can be enough of reactions 😀
There's a live version of this song accessed on youtube. Really good; visuals, too. Back up singers- watch the video.
I grow up listening to heavy metal
"Grew"...you grew up listening to...
No Band like Pink Floyd,..... None!
Check out some of their 1994 Pulse Concert at Earls Court, "Comfortably Numb, "Sorrow", "High Hopes", "Learning To Fly", "Money", etc. It's an incredible live performance, as Pink Floyd is mightily known for throughout their career, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s.
Even today, David Gilmour, (guitarist and lead singer of PF since 1968), has released an album this past September, "Luck and Strange", at 78 years old!
Somehow I think the band might take offense to a car commercial in the middle of their song .., Strange days indeed !
Brain Damage/Eclipse next. It's a go. Look how long this album stayed on the charts. Record breaking. Slow down and take some time before there is no more.
Live pulse. Every and any song.
When someone refers "Time" to a reactor, they should warn them about the beginning.
Timeless.
Hi Maine girl. Love your video. Liked and subscribed. Eagles, though?
@@scouttrooperjohnny I know, I wasn't comparing the two I was just comparing a little bit of the sound the notes in the particular part🤷
Kelly😊
Hi, You must listen to SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND, By Pink Floyd, from 1975 Album, Wish You Were Here.
Keep Rocking 👍
Ronnie
SCOTLAND
ALL parts
Thank you Ronnie.... I was in Northern UK in Sept but I was hoping to make it to Scotland but time wouldnt allow. Thank you for watching appreciate it!
Check out (Pulse) concert.
I still listen today age 64
Go back and listen to "The Great Gig in the Sky" from the Dark Side of the Moon album. The original, not the live versions from their live shows.
As was common in the '70's, Time is not a song on its own, but rather a segment of the album Dark Side of the Moon. Beginning in late high school and through college and beyond, I bought and listened to albums, not songs. Particularly, Dark Side of the Moon is a complete piece of music as one. Another great one is Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull. I hear you can only have time for songs or segments, and those are enjoyable too, just letting you know the context.
They are not a Rock band....They are all your emotions having an experience! Should check out " US & THEM.
Always do the live version.
@@xflyingtiger tell that to the fan who sent me this link. 😉 ❤️😁 I use what people send me... Cause you are all fans some just have different preferences... Thanks for watching
it is not rock per say, it is in a class all alone. (the Album)
It’s more blues than anything else
Check out anything on PULSE, you won’t be disappointed.
When I saw them there were three
I'm sure she is hearing the Joe Walsh influences on the Eagles. Even though the rest is not much to see a similar sound. Joe is a force in his own right, but as she puts more of a catalog, she also will see more difference than similarities. Both guitarists are magic makers.
@@davidrodenkirk5561 it was just like a small portion of Melody, I wasnt comparing the bands there was just a vibe or short melody that resembled just the melody, 4-6 seconds or so. Thank you for your comment... ❤️
Try Johnny Cash "When the Man Comes Around"
