1. Reddit has it labeled Mature Content, for people 18+. It's been on YouTube, with no such warning,

since it was released in 2016, and it has 4.6 million views there, 58K recommendations. I skimmed a lot of replies and didn't see objections on YouTube to the content.

But because of that warning on Reddit, I'd recommend waiting for a reply from EarlG to okay this (I host the Music Appreciation forum, but it's EarlG's decision on whether he thinks the video is too graohic, and a "graphic content warning" in the subject line as suggested in the TOS would be a good idea).

From Guitar World when it was released:

Pink Floyd have just released a video for their 1972 track “Childhood’s End,” from the group’s seventh album, Obscured by Clouds. The clip intersperses period footage of Pink Floyd in the studio and clips of demonstrations against the Vietnam war. The track has been remixed from the original master tapes by Andy Jackson and Damon Iddins and is part of the group’s comprehensive 27-disc retrospective The Early Years 1965–1972, which comes out November 11.

Fwiw, I didn't see any magazine that did an article on that 2016 video, when it was released, add any sort of warning about the content. (I checked a number of articles.)

But I wouldn't want anyone alerting on you if you post it, if EarlG okays it here, so it would be a good idea to link to this thread with his OK from your OP with the video, in a note above the video.

The 2016 video is the one on YouTube in the official Pink Floyd channel that currently says this:

3. Thank you I posted another video without the graphic, just the audio version but will still wait for EarlG

2. I just discovered the video was posted in Music Appreciation once before, in 2020. No one mentioned the

graphic content then, and there was no content warning.

But we should wait for EarlG's reply, since you posted this thread.

4. Thank you I posted the Audio version only and not the other one and still await to see what EarlG says

5. Yes, I'd seen that you posted the audio-only version, as another DUer had

last November (a different audio-only video, though, uploaded to YouTube 7 years ago, instead of the one you posted that was uploaded in 2024; both those audio-only videos are on the band's YouTube channel).

Those audio-only videos have both been viewed on YouTube only a few hundred thousand times, compared to over 4 million for the official video you're asking about.

Just checked Reddit again. There aren't many threads about that song there, period, and I saw only two with any discussion of the 2016 video - the r/videos thread I found yesterday on Google that showed a warning then that it was Mature content, a warning that didn't show up today, and another in the Pink Floyd subreddit, r/pinkfloyd, where not everyone liked the video but the objection wasn't to the graphic content. The fans there just didn't think the protest footage fit the song.
