Every song from Pulse Live will amaze you. That being said, here at Pulse they are already 30 years into the game. Be sure to also watch them Live when they were young ... "ECHOES" : LIVE IN POMPEII 1971/72 🙂
What's really crazy about Pink Floyd's 1994 "The Division Bell World Tour, (that this Pulse Concert is part of), is the massiveness of the Tour and the stage itself. The stage, lighting and sound system are Pink Floyds, they had it built for this world tour, "The Division Bell World Tour. The tour ran from March to October 1994, with something like 110 concerts in 68 cities in 17 countries. Actually, they built 3 stages that were exactually the same, lighting, rigs, sound systems, everything,... 3 in total. They needed 3 stages for the North American leg of the tour, because it took so long to load-in, set up and tear down and load-out. Load-in and setup took 3 days and tear down and load-out took another 2 and 1/2 days, so they needed more than 1 stage to perform all the shows in North America. Over 50 trailer trucks transporting over 700 tons of steel with over a 100 person crew needed to do the job. When the band arrived at the next city to perform, the stages, including light and rigs, were all setup and ready to go. After 3 or 4 shows in a city, the band left for the next city, and members of the crew packed up the stage. When the band arrived at the next city, another stage and equipment was all setup ready to go, then repeat, again and again. It was the largest world tour ever and the logistics were off the charts, Pink Floyd does everything on a grand scale! This particular concert was near the end of the tour in October, it was at Earls Court in London.
I bought "The Wall" in 1980 for my 16 year old son. I played it all and read the lyrics. I was stunned.. I listened to it all over. At 2a.m. I got up and listened to it again. My son never got the album and I still have it.I am 83, and I think it's time I should give it to him. Your obvious strong reaction to Pink Floyd is extremely pleasing to me. Gilmore is truly the most talented guitarist in my. lifetime, and beyond. I wish you a long and happy life,enjoying beautiful music.
Someone had said that you hear that first solo and you think that was the greatest guitar solo you've ever heard, then you hear the second solo and think THAT was the greatest guitar solo you've ever heard
Everything from Pulse is Epic!! Industrial Light and Magic, the folks who brought you the Star Wars special effects had a hand in the light show. Masters of talent in both music and light at work here! I doubt this combination of talent will ever be topped.
You owe it to yourself to stick with this Pulse concert. Each song's a gem, and the light show is state-of-the-art. Some pieces have that extra glow: High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, Sorrow, One Of These Days, and the mind-blowing concert finale-----Run Like Hell. Hope you react to all of these when you get a chance.
I saw this tour when I was living in Atlanta. The best way to describe it was what my friend said when the show ended, she said "I'll never be able to describe this to anyone".
I was there too. If I remember correctly the first night sold out right away and a second night was announced. I was able to go the second night ( I kinda lucked out since it rained the first night and Bobby Dodd was an open stadium lol)
@RevRedmondFarrier I can't remember which night we went to but we had great seats down on the field, maybe between the 30 and 40 yard line. It was a chilly, misty, foggy night. I remember watching the Coca-Cola sign dissappear and reappear, it added to the show 😆.
Went to this tour when they hit Pittsburgh. The concert was held outdoors at the old Three Rivers Stadium. The lightshow and sound system were unbelievable! They had speakers ringing the field, they had 'em ringing the mezzanine deck, they had speakers ringing the very top of the stadium. Hell! They even had speakers strung in a starburst pattern above the stadium! It was literally 360° surround sound. You didn't just hear the music, you felt it! Yet it was the cleanest sound system I ever heard at a concert. Pittsburgh City Council actually had them tone down their lightshow because they were afraid it would interfer with airliners landing at Pitt International Airport. 😂 And it was still amazing!
It's kind of hard to overstate or exaggerate the greatness that is Pink Floyd - David Gilmour live. Let this relinquish all doubt for future recommendations. I saw the concert live in Chicago (Soldier Field) that summer. As they neared the crescendo of this epic solo and the sides of that ball fell away to reveal a blinding light, the skies above lit up with lightning and rumbles of thunder adding the most dramatic effect you could possibly imagine to an already stunning display of light and sound and fury. It was as if God himself wanted in on the action! And knowing Floyd, they just may have arranged it it!! "Sorrow" from Pulse next. And you got to hit "Wish You Were Here" from it as well. Dave does a great rendition here. Loving your journey, bro. ✌️
You always have the best reactions and your facial expressions are priceless and say it all. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction to this amazing piece of work.
Your Gen need to see and appreciate the Talent and Quality of the Music from our Gen. Next time you see 70-80 year olds you may feel very different knowing our Music up bringing. 🇦🇺
When the moon lighting rig rotates down and focuses on David's head from above... it's like God saying, "Approved. Here's your halo. Please continue.".
My favorite song on Pulse, and also my favorite piece of music ever is the version of Sorrow from this concert. The atmosphere, message and solo of it is unlike anything else
Well Joe, it's probably impossible to single out any any of the Pulse concerts tracks/songs, because everyone will have their personal favourites....You may as well begin with the opener 'Shine on You crazy Diamond' and just keep going one by one. They perform the entirety of DSOTM after the first break by the way.... Always remember, your favourite Pink Floyd song will be the next one you hear..... Great reaction BTW....
I was there - Earls Court , London. Sadly this iconic venue no longer exists . Easily the best concert i have ever been to - i was 21 years old at the time - can’t quite believe it was 30 years ago .
As someone who was fortunate enough to be at this show, I'll offer you 2 smidges of advice...watch it once with eyes open, uninterrupted, then play it again with eyes closed and feel it.
I first heard Pink Floyd in 1973 in grade 9 in Canada, and then we got Rush in 74! Great time to be a teenager!

Bought my first album in '74', my second was Dark Side of The Moon up at Humboldt State. Saw them in '94' in Oakland at the Coliseum. Their live concerts are Amazing. The lasers were going everywhere. They had huge covered wagons above their amplifier decks. Then the giant pig heads came out of the wagons. It was cool, but also hilarious. Shedmen (sorry, geandson has showed me how to get one of those addresses with@
This performance is rated in the top 10 guitar solos of all time on all charts they played it many times live but this performance never exactly repeated itself.
Best is a very very subjective thing for Pink Floyd fans. It changes from decsde to decade to suit the moments and stages of your life. As you will see. I'm 52. Learning to Fly shaped my life at 16. And Eclipse has taken over my head lately. Like most of their songs have at some stage.
I was there at Earls Court in 94 and tbh we just took it for granted. Living in London in those days we'd be seeing ACDC on one week, Rush, Bowie or Queen on another. A special time but at the time we didn't realise how special until you look back. Floyd concerts were always special though. Just about any song from the Pulse concert is a banger but I think my favorite is "Sorrow"
Pink Floyd fan of 50 years here...earthy blues presented in the most cosmic and trippy way possible. A seductive combination. My favorite band of all time. You'll want to watch SORROW from the same concert and be prepared to get tripped out by Gilmour's guitar playing ....I mean waaaaaay tripped out.
David Gilmour just released Luck and Strange’ he’s going to be touring… I know it isn’t Pink Floyd, but it’s a great piece of work. He’s one of my favorite guitarist Ever🎶🎸
When I saw this show, I really thought someone spiked my beer when there appeared a giant boar with laser eyes looking at me...the thoughy only occurred for a split second because at the time, I could have been lit on fire and wouldnt have moved or noticed...😂😂😂😂
I was at three of those Pulse concerts (this one and the two nights before) and if THAT solo had been 20 times longer nobody there would have cared. This was the band's 2nd encore - by the time they got to this, they had been playing for nearly 2 and a half hours You should check out 'On The Run' from the same concert. I have seen this full concert well over 100 times and I am still finding things for the first time!
How about that as a taste of Pulse...? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes, I was there, first european venue, Lisbon July94. 80000 People hipnotized. Pulse is great. Every song. Most requested are usually Sorrow and High Hopes. Personally I prefer One of These Days, even though the Best version of this song is in Live at Pompei. Watch Echoes in the Pompei concert. Greatest Floyd song ever. Greatest song ever. Ask Andrew Lloyd Weber...
I was at this concert, you need to turn the volume up to get the real effect, at the concert the sound just hit you, you could feel every note. It was screaming when you have a ballad. To hear another great solo, listen to "Sorrow" from the same concert. Or you could try "On the Turning Away" which is absolutely beautiful but they didn't do it at Pulse however there are videos of it on RUclips from earlier concerts.
Aside from their early psychadelic years wth Syd Barret (previous to Dave), where they would wear these very dandy and colorful outfits, the bands posture and stance was always very casual. Wardrobe was not a worry for these guys, at all. What mattered was the performance and the show, no need for fancy outfits. I was lucky to witness this display of human greatness back in 1994, in one of their shows in Lisbon/Portugal. I can't even describe it.
Was lucky t get a ticket fer this run at Earls Court. BEST gig i ever saw. A non smoking arena which filled with a lovely aroma of (ahem) something once the houselights dimmed and the 1st notes dropped.
First saw them in a hall in Kent in the 60s when they were supporting Hendrix and The Move. The last time was at Earls Court for the Pulse gigs. Lucky enough to grab tickets for 6 nights. Best gigs ever.
David Gilmore is the best. My son introduced me to listen to Pink Floyd. Bobby got the video of PULSE and enjoyed watching it. My favorite is RUN LIKE HELL. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Why does it bring me joy seeing someone baptized with this performance? Impressive tracks throughout Pulse. Listening to all of Pulse creates an event in your life. Highly recommended. Have fun!
Quick heads up: David is releasing a new album on Sept.6 and touring with a new ensemble (mostly - Guy Pratt will still be manning the bass) from late October into the winter. I will be there on Nov. 9 at Madison Square Garden, but there are more dates in NYC, LA, London and Rome, and perhaps other places as well by now. If there is any way you can possibly still get your hands on a ticket, do it, find the money. The man is 78 and there won't be many (if any) more chances to hear the GOAT perform live on stage.
Please do the entire Pulse concert in segments, the entire concert is Awesome and I'm sure you will enjoy it, It's a perfect way to enter the Pink Floyd rabbit hole and continue the journey from there, Oh one more thing, your headline says Comfortably Young, it's actually Comfortably Numb 😜 God Bless
This is such a thrilling performance! I suggest checking out 'Sorrow' from this same concert. A dark, intense song and the whole band is on fire! Also, David Gilmour has a new solo album coming out this fall. He released a music video featuring his daughter, Romany, a talented musician in her own right. The song is called 'Between Two Points' and features Romany on lead vocal and David on guitar. It's a haunting song and I can't get it out of my mind. While i never saw Pink Floyd live, I did see David Gilmour on his 2016 solo tour when it came through Chicago. He was 70 years old that year and still sounded amazing!
Yes, the Chicago show 25th row to the left. 2 hits of wonderful window pain LSD and a big chunk of blonde hash. Lovely evening of music. The Animals tour Cleveland 77 was unreal.
Not only Pink Floyd but check out Dave's solo work. " Live at Gdansk" songs " take a breathe" " echoes for the last time" " On an Island" ( backing orchestra) " Live at Pompeii" Songs "in any tongue" " The Blue" This song played for the last time.
"Gilmour looks like he just came off the street". From the start in the 60s, Pink Floyd did NOT want to be "out front" "look at me" guys. Notice their photos were never on their album covers...VERY unusual back then. It's also why they were innovators in light shows and visuals at their live concerts.
Lo spettacolo di luci ed effetti speciali nei concerti dal vivo dei Pink Floyd è sempre stato strabiliante e la loro musica superlativa mostrava il loro reale valore di musicisti e di persone e perciò non avevano bisogno di camuffarsi con abiti di scena...sarebbe stato un inutile sovrappiù .
Great to hear your reaction to one of the greatest ever (IMHO) rock concerts. Would recommend you react to ‘Sorrow’ from the same concert - the sounds David Gilmour produces from his guitar on that song are incredible. It’s well worth listening to the whole Pulse concert.
David's solo in ( On The Turning Away live at the Delicate Sound Of Thunder Concert ) Will blow your mind ;) Also you don't listen to Pink Floyd you experience them.
You mentioned that you wish you could see David Gilmour live. He's doing another tour, (North America and Europe) in October 2024. Also, check out two other songs. 1st, Echoes, the final performance, (from 2006) and "In any tongue" and "Comfortably Numb" from his "Rattle that Lock" world tour (from 2016.) Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Keep in mind in 2016 he was 70. In October 2024 he'll be pushing 80. He keeps getting better.
Pulse is absolutely amazing. I love it. But the 2016 performance by David Gilmour and his Band in Pompeii is sensational too. It’s my own favourite version of ‘Comfortably Numb’, I was lucky enough to see the ‘One Night Only’ Cinema showing of David Gilmour’s return to the Pompeii Amphitheater, in 2016, with his Band. (Pink Floyd’s previous visit being in 1971, when they were filmed playing ‘Echoes’, in the Centre of the Amphitheater, with no audience. And this version of ‘Comfortably Numb’, from that 2016 Show, is sensational. This time to an audience. And what a light Show this has too. All in the stunning setting of this Roman Amphitheater. David Gilmour at his stunning best, aged 70, at this performance. Genius. Incredible. Hope you get to try this, you won’t regret it. Just my own feelings. ruclips.net/video/eHKG7EMxWW8/видео.htmlsi=HVr6pxFSHHcPJ3bB 🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶
Can't really argue that this isn't one of the greatest live performances ever, but as far as greatest live guitar solos ever it's Stevie Ray Vaughn, doing "Texas Flood" live at the El Mocambo. From o guy that lived through the sixties, seventies, and on.
"Sorrow "Pulse has an equally great solo. There were 13 shows. Mmates and I went to town on the weekends. It was mental. The Ferraris Lambos etc. Clubs were mental. Check out the crowd. Men are dressed like Nick Mason. People flew into town from all over the World for 1 of these shows. It was mental.
I'm glad you chose this one, rather than the version where David Mallet made ridiculous choices in the name of cinematography. I'm also glad there were commercials in between. Otherwise, you almost lost yourself early. We have generally been crying at the end of the long guitar solo of this masterpiece for years.
Suggestion: If you wanna see some live material from them that was made earlier than this, then I highly suggest watching the "Live in Pompeii" concert film from 1972. Although I love it, I do have to say all of the songs on it are pre-Dark Side of The Moon so the songs don't have exactly the same style as what you've already reacted to, but I would still check it out.
Well, here we go ... I agree that a hundred per cent of the Pulse live concert is worth your attention. But, also, it'd be interesting to see them in a different mode - playing live in the ancient, empty, half ruined Roman stadium in Pompei, Italy, way back in about 1971 I think it was. Search "echoes pink floyd' live. It takes a while to build, but it's very much worth the wait.
The Progressive Rock genre music produced in the 1970s is simply amazing. After your Pink Floyd deep-dive, I suggest that you check out some songs by other Prog bands like "Kansas", "Yes", and "Rush".
Joe, studio album versions are good, but live is when Pink Floyd is at their best. I believe the Pulse Concert is probably their best but there are other live performance that are great too. Check out Live at Pompei or Delicate Sound of Thunder. Oh hell, they're all great! Love your reactions. You are so genuine and it's ok to stop to avoid the copyright infringement, just not during a David Gilmore solo. LOL
Not only Pink Floyd, we actually had the Yin and Yang Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, the black and the white. Check out Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving You" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 😉 Pink Floyd "Echoes (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 😉
Just a suggestion fer future eargasms. The audio/visual match up of "marooned" hits hard EVERYTIME!! You are a lucky sod to get to hear all Floyds back catalogue fer the 1st time. Enjoy
Unlike most bands of the time Pink Floyd were low on personal showmanship they wanted people to be into the music and not them ,I saw them in a smallish venue in 1971 and you just about could not see them the stage very dak apart from a moving bubble projection behind them . Just that visual and the music was the aim , Of course over the years the light show became immens and they remained not very that visual, " Its not about us "
I'm 71. It's heartwarming to see the young generation discovering the soundtrack to my misspent youth. 😏
Going on 73 here - ditto.
Same. Misspent definitely, regrets none. 😉✨
Tripping on acid,music melting my face, light show damn near giving me a seizure.good times.
Every song from Pulse Live will amaze you. That being said, here at Pulse they are already 30 years into the game. Be sure to also watch them Live when they were young ... "ECHOES" : LIVE IN POMPEII 1971/72 🙂

thank you for this info!!!
ON THE TURNING AWAY is another masterpiece with a killer solo , LIVE version
Preferably from "The Delicate Sound of Thunder" concert. It's much better than the Pulse one.
@@deanadewall8400On the Turning Away wasn’t played at pulse
You can basically do the whole Pulse concert, because all songs are amazing. The best live concert ever!
I bought "The Wall" in 1980 for my 16 year old son. I played it all and read the lyrics. I was stunned.. I listened to it all over. At 2a.m. I got up and listened to it again.

Was at the same show. It was something I have never seen before or again. The best concert I have ever been to.
Envious here.... To see and hear this live. If I only knew back then what I know now. I would have saved up and somehow got the tickets...
@vullings1968 The best concert I've ever seen! 1968 in your profile name, that's the year I graduated from High School! 😆
I was there too. If I remember correctly the first night sold out right away and a second night was announced. I was able to go the second night ( I kinda lucked out since it rained the first night and Bobby Dodd was an open stadium lol)

Great reaction man! Right at the end......you got awestruck!!!! Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd Live!
Great Reaction! Sorrow , Keep Talking, Money, Wish You Were Here all from Pulse concert are awesome!
This is the sort of performance that can bring tears to your eyes.
One of the greatest live performances ever.
Love your reactions, I'm 71and Pink Floyd is my favorite, Love seeing you appreciate them❤
You always have the best reactions and your facial expressions are priceless and say it all. Thank you so much for sharing your reaction to this amazing piece of work.
thanks logan for your support !
Light a sented candle, turn off the lights, lay in bed and experience this song at it's best.Thanks for the flashback.
Your Gen need to see and appreciate the Talent and Quality of the Music from our Gen.
Next time you see 70-80 year olds you may feel very different knowing our Music up bringing. 🇦🇺
When the moon lighting rig rotates down and focuses on David's head from above... it's like God saying, "Approved. Here's your halo. Please continue.".
I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd twice in concert, and both shows were a feast for the ears and the eyes. Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas.
My favorite song on Pulse, and also my favorite piece of music ever is the version of Sorrow from this concert. The atmosphere, message and solo of it is unlike anything else

I’ve been enjoying your Pink Floyd journey, my man. Happy you found your way to this one.
thank u brother
@@jonathenmother Lights and effects crew: "So what do you want and what's the budget?"
Floyd: "Yes."
I was there - Earls Court , London. Sadly this iconic venue no longer exists . Easily the best concert i have ever been to - i was 21 years old at the time - can’t quite believe it was 30 years ago .
Pink Floyd is not a song or a tune! It is an experience! Enough said!
lost count how many times i've watched folk react to this , doesn't get old,
saw it live twice , this wasn't even the encore
Pulse.. Wish you were Here … Next ! Yes please and thank you .. 😊
Love it!! Same concert, SORROW. My favorite. All songs from this concert are amazing!!
As someone who was fortunate enough to be at this show, I'll offer you 2 smidges of advice...watch it once with eyes open, uninterrupted, then play it again with eyes closed and feel it.
Best advice ever!

There's no way to describe what it was like to be at the Pulse concert live (Oakland, CA). Absolutely the BEST live performance ever.

You should check out 'On The Run' from the same concert.
I have seen this full concert well over 100 times and I am still finding things for the first time!
It's great to see you discovering Ppink Floyd. You have to listen to The Wall full album and watch the movie it will blow your mind.
Echoes from Pompeii 1972. For the greatest groove in the whole of rock music. Really.
Agree!!! 🤘👍
All are great at Pulse. High Hopes is wonderful!
How about that as a taste of Pulse...? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I was there, first european venue, Lisbon July94. 80000 People hipnotized.
Pulse is great. Every song. Most requested are usually Sorrow and High Hopes. Personally I prefer One of These Days, even though the Best version of this song is in Live at Pompei. Watch Echoes in the Pompei concert. Greatest Floyd song ever. Greatest song ever. Ask Andrew Lloyd Weber...
Gilmour is without doubt a musical genius. His new music is outstanding. Released this week. He is the best guitarist ever.

David Gilmour Live at Gansk Fat Old Sun. This song is off Atom Heart Mother. What David does with it live, makes any day brighter!
Sorrow from pulse will also blow yor mind!
I spit out my beer when the advertisement came on and you jumped. Had me rolling. Thanks for the laugh, and for keeping this awesome music alive.

Was lucky t get a ticket fer this run at Earls Court. BEST gig i ever saw. A non smoking arena which filled with a lovely aroma of (ahem) something once the houselights dimmed and the 1st notes dropped.
First saw them in a hall in Kent in the 60s when they were supporting Hendrix and The Move. The last time was at Earls Court for the Pulse gigs. Lucky enough to grab tickets for 6 nights. Best gigs ever.
David Gilmore is the best. My son introduced me to listen to Pink Floyd. Bobby got the video of PULSE and enjoyed watching it. My favorite is RUN LIKE HELL. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I'm 68. This is gonna blow your mind!
😎
Why does it bring me joy seeing someone baptized with this performance? Impressive tracks throughout Pulse. Listening to all of Pulse creates an event in your life. Highly recommended. Have fun!
Quick heads up: David is releasing a new album on Sept.6 and touring with a new ensemble (mostly - Guy Pratt will still be manning the bass) from late October into the winter. I will be there on Nov. 9 at Madison Square Garden, but there are more dates in NYC, LA, London and Rome, and perhaps other places as well by now. If there is any way you can possibly still get your hands on a ticket, do it, find the money. The man is 78 and there won't be many (if any) more chances to hear the GOAT perform live on stage.
woah i’m definitely looking into that
Please do the entire Pulse concert in segments, the entire concert is Awesome and I'm sure you will enjoy it, It's a perfect way to enter the Pink Floyd rabbit hole and continue the journey from there, Oh one more thing, your headline says Comfortably Young, it's actually Comfortably Numb 😜 God Bless
LEARNING TO FLY and ON THE TURNING AWAY
Great tracks from the PULSE CONCERT. 👀 🎶🎶🎶
Arguably the greatest guitar solo ever, it's certainly mine.
The guy that played Sax for them at this concert was outstanding.
This is such a thrilling performance! I suggest checking out 'Sorrow' from this same concert. A dark, intense song and the whole band is on fire! Also, David Gilmour has a new solo album coming out this fall. He released a music video featuring his daughter, Romany, a talented musician in her own right. The song is called 'Between Two Points' and features Romany on lead vocal and David on guitar. It's a haunting song and I can't get it out of my mind. While i never saw Pink Floyd live, I did see David Gilmour on his 2016 solo tour when it came through Chicago. He was 70 years old that year and still sounded amazing!
Yes, the Chicago show 25th row to the left. 2 hits of wonderful window pain LSD and a big chunk of blonde hash. Lovely evening of music. The Animals tour Cleveland 77 was unreal.
Regularly voted the best guitar solo of all time
Not only Pink Floyd but check out Dave's solo work. " Live at Gdansk" songs " take a breathe" " echoes for the last time" " On an Island" ( backing orchestra) " Live at Pompeii" Songs "in any tongue" " The Blue" This song played for the last time.
"Gilmour looks like he just came off the street". From the start in the 60s, Pink Floyd did NOT want to be "out front" "look at me" guys. Notice their photos were never on their album covers...VERY unusual back then. It's also why they were innovators in light shows and visuals at their live concerts.
Lo spettacolo di luci ed effetti speciali nei concerti dal vivo dei Pink Floyd è sempre stato strabiliante e la loro musica superlativa mostrava il loro reale valore di musicisti e di persone e perciò non avevano bisogno di camuffarsi con abiti di scena...sarebbe stato un inutile sovrappiù .
Great to hear your reaction to one of the greatest ever (IMHO) rock concerts. Would recommend you react to ‘Sorrow’ from the same concert - the sounds David Gilmour produces from his guitar on that song are incredible. It’s well worth listening to the whole Pulse concert.
Sorrow and On turning away are great solo's
Hahaha I love that about David Gilmour, too. So unassuming and low key in his dad jeans, comes out and absolutely kills it.
he’s great lol
I can see that you were flabbergasted by this performance. In fact, so much so that your gast has never been so flabbered!!
David's solo in ( On The Turning Away live at the Delicate Sound Of Thunder Concert ) Will blow your mind ;)
Also you don't listen to Pink Floyd you experience them.
Imo, the second song that comes to my mind from Pulse 1994, is the song "sorrow" INSANELY GOOD
You mentioned that you wish you could see David Gilmour live. He's doing another tour, (North America and Europe) in October 2024. Also, check out two other songs. 1st, Echoes, the final performance, (from 2006) and "In any tongue" and "Comfortably Numb" from his "Rattle that Lock" world tour (from 2016.) Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Keep in mind in 2016 he was 70. In October 2024 he'll be pushing 80. He keeps getting better.
You need to discover Syd Barrett. He was Pink Floyd's first lead guitarist & songwriter & vocalist . It will be well worth the trip!
Pulse is absolutely amazing. I love it.
But the 2016 performance by David Gilmour and his Band in Pompeii is sensational too. It’s my own favourite version of ‘Comfortably Numb’,
I was lucky enough to see the ‘One Night Only’ Cinema showing of David Gilmour’s return to the Pompeii Amphitheater, in 2016, with his Band. (Pink Floyd’s previous visit being in 1971, when they were filmed playing ‘Echoes’, in the Centre of the Amphitheater, with no audience.
And this version of ‘Comfortably Numb’, from that 2016 Show, is sensational. This time to an audience.
And what a light Show this has too. All in the stunning setting of this Roman Amphitheater.
David Gilmour at his stunning best, aged 70, at this performance. Genius.
Incredible. Hope you get to try this, you won’t regret it.
Just my own feelings.

Can't really argue that this isn't one of the greatest live performances ever, but as far as greatest live guitar solos ever it's Stevie Ray Vaughn, doing "Texas Flood" live at the El Mocambo.
From o guy that lived through the sixties, seventies, and on.
P.S. Stevie Ray did this in a small venue. No lasers, killer stage etc.
"Sorrow "Pulse has an equally great solo. There were 13 shows. Mmates and I went to town on the weekends. It was mental. The Ferraris Lambos etc. Clubs were mental. Check out the crowd. Men are dressed like Nick Mason. People flew into town from all over the World for 1 of these shows. It was mental.
Love this bro you’re the best classical rock music reviewer on RUclips!!!!
Wow, thanks!
I'm glad you chose this one, rather than the version where David Mallet made ridiculous choices in the name of cinematography. I'm also glad there were commercials in between. Otherwise, you almost lost yourself early. We have generally been crying at the end of the long guitar solo of this masterpiece for years.
Suggestion: If you wanna see some live material from them that was made earlier than this, then I highly suggest watching the "Live in Pompeii" concert film from 1972. Although I love it, I do have to say all of the songs on it are pre-Dark Side of The Moon so the songs don't have exactly the same style as what you've already reacted to, but I would still check it out.
Best solo of all time!
Well, here we go ... I agree that a hundred per cent of the Pulse live concert is worth your attention. But, also, it'd be interesting to see them in a different mode - playing live in the ancient, empty, half ruined Roman stadium in Pompei, Italy, way back in about 1971 I think it was. Search "echoes pink floyd' live. It takes a while to build, but it's very much worth the wait.
The Progressive Rock genre music produced in the 1970s is simply amazing. After your Pink Floyd deep-dive, I suggest that you check out some songs by other Prog bands like "Kansas", "Yes", and "Rush".
on the subject of the pulse concert I suggest High Hopes another brilliant guitar solo
The rest of the concert is awesome, mate!
🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
This video changes everything
Great Video! keep it up
thanks !
His tone is unmatched.
Please do the whole live at Pompeii by them..its just magnificent ..
Joe, studio album versions are good, but live is when Pink Floyd is at their best. I believe the Pulse Concert is probably their best but there are other live performance that are great too. Check out Live at Pompei or Delicate Sound of Thunder. Oh hell, they're all great! Love your reactions. You are so genuine and it's ok to stop to avoid the copyright infringement, just not during a David Gilmore solo. LOL
Yessssssss more pulse liveeee
Not only Pink Floyd, we actually had the Yin and Yang
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, the black and the white.
Check out
Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving You" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 😉
Pink Floyd "Echoes (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 😉
Could we just don't underestimate the importance of the two Rogers to make this to happen.
Just a suggestion fer future eargasms. The audio/visual match up of "marooned" hits hard EVERYTIME!! You are a lucky sod to get to hear all Floyds back catalogue fer the 1st time. Enjoy
Unlike most bands of the time Pink Floyd were low on personal showmanship they wanted people to be into the music and not them ,I saw them in a smallish venue in 1971 and you just about could not see them the stage very dak apart from a moving bubble projection behind them . Just that visual and the music was the aim , Of course over the years the light show became immens and they remained not very that visual, " Its not about us "
Yea!! 👏👏😊 David Gilmour is a master guitarist. High Hopes next on Pulse !
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
