My father died of cancer a few weeks ago.... When I was 2 years old, my first memory of him is that I couldn't sleep and we were listening to Dark Side of the Moon together. Since that day, it became a ritual for us to listen to Pink Floyd whenever I had any worries. this music is my life! I have never met anyone with whom I could listen to this music as intensely as with him... I have been playing guitar for 25 years thanks to him and it has become the most fulfilling thing in my life. Now I am 34 years old and played him in his last hours all the guitar solos of David Gilmour with a small Yamaha amplifier at his death bed and he smiled at me.... you are the only one in my life with whom I can really listen to this music together.... thank you
All that you touch And all that you see All that you taste All you feel And all that you loved And all that you hate All you distrust All you save And all that you give And all that you deal And all that you buy Beg, borrow, or steal And all you create And all you destroy And all that you do And all that you say And all that you eat And everyone you meet And all that you slight And everyone you fight And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
@@StaceyRPGReactsStacey, you should do whatever you can to get hold of a ticket to see a Roger Waters concert….he was the principal writing genius of Floyd and his concerts are beyond epic….he’s getting very old so don’t miss your chance! X
Stacey, I was unbelievably fortunate to see Pink Floyd in concert 10 times (including the Pulse tour for 5 shows), but that was in the 80's and 90's. Watching you discovering and reacting to these songs is the closest thing I will ever have to experiencing it myself for the first time. Your reactions are amazing and bring out an emotional response in me that can only be described as pure joy! I envy you your journey of discovery and am grateful that you are sharing it with the rest of us. Thank you!!!
With regard to opening the concert, this is clearly one of the best of all time (from a concert that may be the best of all time). For a good contrast to the other end of the spectrum, check out Nightwish from Wacken 2013 where they opened with Dark Chest of Wonders. Talk about getting a crowd pumped right out of the gate! It's been a while since you have done any Nightwish, so it might be a good time to check out some more of their catalog. I also had the pleasure of seeing them live and they are a close second to Pink Floyd in concert epicness for me.
Stacey, seeing how emotionally involved you get with Pink Floyd restores my faith in the future of humanity. If everyone took time to experience the magic like this the world would be a better place ❤
When shine on your crazy diamond opened in Sacramento for Delicate Sound of Thunder in 1987 it was pouring down rain from the past few hours. Once the first few notes came off of David’s guitar the rain stopped for the rest of the concert. It was magical!!
I discovered Pink Floyd when I was 15 and I'm 65... and this song is still one of the ones that moves me the most. I'm sure you will too in the future!!! A big hug!!!
As a budding teenage musician at 17, I was the only one of my friends that managed to get a ticket to see Pink Floyd live in June of 1977 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. I convinced a friend named Rich to drive us from NJ to Philadelphia in hopes of buying him a ticket. We arrived outside the venue and tried as we may, could not get even one ticket. In fact, we almost were arrested because ironically the cops thought that we were scalping tickets to the concert. Eventually, the concert was opening, and he had to leave. I walked in so excited yet nervous because I had no way to get home that night. The atmosphere was electric and full of hazy smoke as I took my seat. Then guess what song kicked off the show? That’s right… Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I had chills going down my spine as those first notes rang out. It was the most amazing concert... and with a complete lineup: David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason. I literally saw hundreds of concerts starting with George Harrison in 1974, and including Paul McCarney in ’76, ELP, CSN, Led Zeppelin, Cars, Styx, Jeff Beck, Todd Rundgren, Renaissance, The Who, Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, Allman Brothers, YES, Foreigner, Moody Blues, Boston, Foghat, Eric Clapton, Dave Mason, Al Stewart, Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, Robin Trower, The Kinks, Aerosmith, Heart, Kansas, etc… and later bands like Dream Theater, G3, Bonnie Raitt, and slews of others. But that Pink Floyd concert in ’77… with the superb songs, emphasizing the albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals - with lasers, airplanes flying over the audience, a huge pink inflatable pig, a giant inflatable car with headlights, etc… was the most spellbinding concert of all. I saw them several times afterwards, including “The Wall”, but after that it was without Roger Waters. They were really good, but not quite on par with that ’77 concert. The “Pulse” concert is likely the closest to match that magic and synergistic energy that I experienced from that earlier time. So, Stacey, I can totally relate to your reactions to their music. It has figuratively been a key part of the soundtrack of my life since I was a kid. I’m very encouraged to witness someone from your generation be moved as well and embrace this quality of musical artistry with origins from before your time. It gives me a glimmer of hope for the future of music in this vast sonic void that is currently being presented.
One of the most perfect set of lyrics for the subject of the song. They are written by Roger Waters about his childhood friend and band co-founder Syd Barrett, who literally lost his lucid mind after an LSD overload. The lyrics lament the loss of his friend while calling him back to music, lucidity and are packed with references that are perfectly suited to that specific situation, with puns on early albums and lyrics. There's nothing selfish or ulterior or them, a pure expression of friendship, affection and loss. Also, Pink Floyd is one of the rare bands that you can choose any song off of any album and it will be a masterpiece.
This is the last song I listened to with my son, when he was still alive. During this song he went unresponsive, and I had to perform CPR on him until ambulance took him to the hospital. He survived for another 4 years and passed away 2 years ago. Recently I saw a video that was what Syd Barrett thought of this song, and when I looked at the picture that they had accompanying the video, I thought, how did they get a picture of my son. Turns out it was Syd Barrett. He looked hauntingly just like my son. It took me a while to listen to this song again, brings back a mixed bag of emotions. It is a beautiful song. Thanks for reacting to this song Stacey. Love your reactions.
Recieved this concert in VHS for a Christmas gift from my parents back on Christmas Eve 1995. I put it in the VCR right away and pushed PLAY. My folks, who were not Floyd fans like me, sat through the entire show without saying much. I think it was the moment that they realized that their kid had great taste in music, haha.
The Live Version of this song is Awesome. But then again this Whole concert is Awesome. Pink Floyd Live is just an experience you have to see. Love your reactions to Pink Floyd. You Truly have become a Huge Fan of them.
I’m 23, from Morocco, and I can’t get enough of Pink Floyd. Their music hits differently, like it’s speaking straight to my soul. It's more than sound; it’s a whole experience!
30 years ago this was filmed. Perhaps the greatest show ever? The sound, the lights, just amazing. And I love the 3 background singers. They are so cool.
...have listened to the studio version hundreds of times, but this is the first time with their 'Pulse' live version... the first half I felt is stronger in the studio version, but then they gear up... David's vocals and guitar - just divine, and amazingly they still do have Dick Parry on Saxophone (same as on the studio version 20 years earlier) and he kills it!! Breathtaking! And Stacey, to see you so passionate and melting away is so heart-warming - all that they deserve. You bring the magic back through your overflowing love for them... re-listening to their epic master pieces through the eyes & the heart of one of their biggest fans, can't be topped. They are the best, and You are the best - a perfect match!!! 🌈🌟💖
Epic Epic Epic Concert! I was at the Pulse Concert in 1994 and this reaction takes me right back there. I enjoy you Stacey especially at this concert, you come even more alive making this experience a treasure. I can't wait until you react to this entire concert in one setting. I can't think of Pink Floyd now without thinking of all your reactions Stacey. A HUGE THANKYOU!!!
Dick Parry on sax, the unofficial 5th member of Floyd (not counting Syd of course, or several of the hugely important stage performers later such as Guy, Tim, Jon, Snowy, etc.) but Dick’s sax on Dark Side and Wish You Were Here gives him a nudge higher on the ladder.
I listen Pink Floyd since I was a child. Nobody told me about them. One day, I heard Time and went to the record Store an stayed there half an hour trying to explained what I heard. The man said: " It´s just like noises in the beginning of the song ? " Yes, it was Pink Floyd ( The dark Side of the Moon ). Straight to the soul. Greetings from Argentina. Beautiful channel and lovely reaction. ( straight to the soul ). Sorry about my english. David Gilmour has a new CD, vinyl and soon it will be a live show on Blu Ray and DVD. It´s called " Luck and Strange " (2024). He will not play anymore in Live Shows. Thank you for the music ... and feeling it ! Nice 2025 for you and your familu !!!
Rick Wrights opening to this concert set the tone superbly . Rick was in my opinion the backbone In everything Floyd did in his two spells espially live . Thank heavens he came back to the band . RIP Rick you total and utter genius . He’s playing for the heavenly choir for definite !!!!!
Me myself know every tone, every beat, every slip of a string of this song listening to it for over fourty years now. I first heard it when I was a 12 year old boy and now I am almost 60. There is no other band that can sound like something other then music but still is just guitars, keyboards and drums. And the power of that magic can be seen here on the beautiful face of Stacey and it’s such a joy to see that young people like here are still being captured and touched by it.
In Gothenburg Sweden 1994 first song was Astronomy Domine. Shine On was 2nd set opener. In Pulse concert they played complete Dark Side Of The Moon. That's why the setlist was special. Even without complete Dark Side the Gothenburg concert was and still is the concert of my life. I also saw PF in Lahti,Finland 1989.
I've been to well over a 100 concerts. From Rock, to hard rock, southern rock, heavy metal, new wave, soul, funk, disco, blues, and country. No other band has ever touched me as deeply as Pink Floyd. Their concerts are on another level.
I got to see them on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. It's true, nobody talked during the songs, though plenty were singing along. You didn't dare miss a single note. And when it was time to cheer, thousands of people lost their minds screaming in awe, amazement, and triumph for getting to be right there at that moment. And everyone on stage was smiling, laughing and seemed so relaxed.
The beauty of Pink Floyd is a gift, we all have a unique experience to their music but they become part of your life (like a family member) they become a constant. I love that you get it, some people just don't see, hear and feel the magic that is Pink Floyd. Can't wait to see you react to more of the greatest band that will ever be.
A timeless track that will still be heard a hundred years from now. Just sit back, relax, listen, let yourself be enchanted and float along emotionally. As a musician who knows a lot about music, this track is one of the best I've ever heard. It takes you on a journey, carries you away, ... shine on crazy diamond
Aww Stacey , I love your reactions to Pink Floyd. I love your tears as it shows you are not faking it in any way and you really love the band,. Thank you so much !!
One of the things I always loved about Pink Floyd is that they're never in a rush. They take their time to build most of their songs; never worried about the listener's losing interest.
A Pink Floyd concert is not like any other concert. You won't see people dancing or moshing. They are mesmerized by the music and enjoy watching David, Richard, Nick, and now the other fill musicians perform. R.I.P. Richard! A great talent that will be missed. I can imagine how proud Richard was to have his son playing with him on stage! Stacey, I love how you allow the music to penetrate your soul and touch your heart! Please don't let anyone change that in you.
I saw the pulse concert live and I will never forget that experience until the day I die! And I also won't forget the guy in front of me that peed his pants during the comfortably numb solo!
I was at the Pulse show in 1994 at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. I was up front in the sixth row and it was life-changing. By the time 1994 had arrived, I had seen the best performers that rock had produced up to that point. And I continue to do so up to today. This Pink Floyd concert tour is simply the best concert I have ever seen. Life changing. ❤❤️🇺🇸😎🤙🇺🇸❤️❤
For those of us who love Pink Floyd, thinking about Richard always makes us cry. He was an indispensable piece of the band and without him, Pink Floyd does not exist. I would like you to react to the song "A Boat Lies Waiting" live in Pompeii. For me, it is one of the saddest songs, about the grieve of the loss of a loved one, and David did it to say goodbye to him. Thanks for the great reaction.
This is one of their masterpiece concerts. I first started following them back in '68 in the Syd Barrett years. My first concert of theirs was in '72 before they released DSOTM. We got so many of their experimental works and it was in a rectangular hall with a quad sound system so imagine the sounds circling your mind. They also introduced some new songs from their unreleased album so I can honestly say I heard them playing Dark Side of the Moon long before it was released to the world at large. We were truly graced with being some of the first to ever hear it. In quad. LIVE! Still ranks as my best concert of all times notwithstanding these later masterclass concerts. I got to both see and hear the moment of transition into the greatest period of their history.
Saw them 4 times, including twice in the 70s, No One, ever had a better sound system than Pink Floyd, they had unreal separation with multiple PA locations, freaking amazing clarity and mix, we were in awe, talking with the guys at the mixing board, these people were playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers for sound innovation.
I've been privileged to see them quite a few times live. Wembley Stadium,London, 1988...the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour......was by far the greatest gig I've ever seen,and I've seen plenty over the years. Only Rush with their 1981 Moving Pictures came near. Audibly, visually, sensually truly amazing.
Hello Stacey 🥰🥰🥰!!! There are no words strong enough to define the beauty of this song, of this breathtaking concert, everything is magnificent,David ,Richard,Nick,Guy ,all the band, the music ,the sound, the light, it's PinkFloyd ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥😍😍😍!!! Opening the Pulse show with this song is a magnificent choice, I think it immediately puts the spectator in a certain state of mind for the rest of the concert!!! Thank you for this reaction as always you are awesome ❤❤❤!!!
On 5 June 1975, Syd Barrett, by this point heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows, wandered into the studio where the band were recording shine on and the band thought he was a crew member! When it comes to live concerts, they have the best sound.
Some of the performances of 'Shine On' from David's solo concerts are arguably even better: the 'Remember That Night' version (with Crosby and Nash) and the Gdansk version (with the intro played on wine glasses!) are both magical. Highly recommended!
I wish I could find someone to look at me, feel me, love me the way you look at Pink Floyd. I want to be someone's Pink Floyd. I guess I will always just be someone's cover band 😝 I do love them too...the lightshow on this tour was my favorite and goes so well with their music. Cheers to Marc Brickman for designing this show. 😎
I have this concert on DVD. It was recorded with "Q Sound". If you have a high quality surround sound system with a 4k DVD player and TV, makes the concert epic!
20 years have passed, and to this day, this is still my favorite song and the one I return to from time to time to feel better. It touches my soul, just as it does to you now. By the way, your smile is contagious, don't let it disappear 😄❤
Ok, I need to react to you finally... of everyone who does the same on RUclips, you just get it right away. Ok, so me... I've been a guitar player for 40 years and have been a die hard Pink Floyd fan for 30 years since The Division Bell. I learned David's guitar part for "Shine On..." and all the rest (including Dark Side Of the Moon) inside 1994 to 1995. I still play these songs almost every week, and I go back to Pulse all the time... always (I love many bands, but never so much as Pink Floyd... but The Beatles were my first!)
Here are some great Pink Floyd songs you have yet to react to (all audio, except for the last two): 1) Welcome To The Machine 2) Brain Damage/Eclipse 3) The Narrow Way (parts 1-3) 4) Cirrus Minor 5) Fat Old Sun 6) Childhood's End 7) Absolutely Curtains 8) The Nile Song 9) Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (live at Pompeii) 10) A Saucerful Of Secrets (live at Pompeii)
Wow!! Great selection, comments and reaction . . . You nailed it . . . You actually made me go back and re-watch the entire concert . . . One of your best, accurate reactions. It's obvious you are learning about RnR everyday. Keep going!!! And I will be there with you when you hit 500K subs . . . Love you in a RnR kind of way . . . Lol.
StaceyRPG, you hit the nail on the head with talking about the Pink Floyd audience going crazy at the very beginning and very end of their songs... but staying silent and taking it all in throughout the performance itself. That is... except the U.S. audiences who are downright disrespectful. This PULSE concert video was performed at Earls Court in London. In David's recent 2024 U.S. tour, he did a number of Pink Floyd standards and the audiences would cheer wildly throughout, whoop and holler during his guitar solos, and even sing along with him on songs like Comfortably Numb. When this happened David's expression was a grimace. C'mon people... respect the iconic music and keep your ears perked up and mouths shut! When the song has ended -- go berserk if you wish!
Shine On was the first song of the video that came after. In fact the concert began with like 10 minutes of birds chirping and then slowly a rumble of machinery grew and grew. Eventually all the birds were overrun. That rumble continued into the lights going down, and Nick on the drums beginning of Astronomy Domine.
Every time someone reacts emotionally to Pink Floyd I feel like a proud parent, in lack of a better way to describe it😊😂. They are from another planet!!!!PF🤩 BTW: Stace - great reaction vids!
My acquaintance with Pink Floyd began with this particular composition and this particular concert. Although recorded on an audio cassette. The very first emotions from the very first notes... It was a revelation. It was something special to hear the audience's reaction and feel this connection between the audience and the musicians. Later, when I had insomnia, this tape always helped me out, I think I learned it by heart. Soon I heard a studio recording. And finally, the entire concert on video came into my hands after a few years. And it blew up my soul. Now, after every New Year's holiday, I take out this video and watch it at night. If you do this in complete darkness, it begins to seem that you yourself are among those spectators. To see and feel it all with you again is a new experience, and it's wonderful!
An excellent pic Stacey , I love your reactions to Pink Floyd , you always catch the meaning and pure emotion of there music , millions of us feel the same way , thank you Stacey 😊
Not many young people today get emotional or even like the music that I grew up with in the 70's. It's very refreshing to see and it's like sharing the same love for this art as others have.
I love that you are a Pink Floyd fan and appreciate their music so much because that's how I feel too. Look, I've been listening to these songs constantly for decades and I never get bored and I still get excited.
Hello dear Stacey👋🏼 I am very happy that you have the first song of the Pulse concert! When you start your concert like this you just know that you are going to enjoy it very much👌🏼 I always have to cry when I see songs of the Pulse concert. The lights, the music and the lyrics, everything is right💚 Pink Floyd is of a very high level music💚🧡
If I was marooned on an island with only one song to listen to, this is the one. Wonderful reaction, Stacey. I love seeing how much you love this band that I have loved my whole life. Seeing David live on stage in NYC last month was a top 3 item checked off my bucket list. Have a lovely day!!
I was 16 years old listening to this on cassette tape in my dads camper. I would sit there alone and just absorb the music. Great memories. Geat reaction!
Right from when I first saw them in 1969 I don't recall any preamble, song intros or wasted words. The lights go down and they just played. Nobody playing the big star, just super musicians taking you on a journey BTW, love your reaction. You never will get tired of listening to them. They've been with me since I was 17. I'm 75 now and they still make me shiver.
There are two authorized Pink Floyd cover bands touring: Australian Pink Floyd and Brit Floyd. Brit Floyd is doing the entire Pulse concert. Its not exactly the same as seeing the original band live back in the day but you can get close to the same with the exact same stage setup and concert song list.
He did Shine. He shone through all the music his band created after he left and refuged on the dark side of the moon. He still shines. Thank you Syd for starting it all and showing them the way. You left, yes, and they faced uncertainty. But they followed the way and created something unique inspired by you. So, you did Shine, Crazy Diamond.
You go Pink Floyd you never go back, like me 45 years ago when i still lived in Morocco as an adolescent. Now, i am 61 and i'm still getting emotional when i listen to PF and their profound lyrics: And then when one day you find, ten years have got behind you... Damned!!! How it hurts! Sta(ce)y strong!
I Loved Every Minute of Your Reaction To This Breathtaking Pink Floyd Performance !!! You Experienced The Floyd Effect. Right Before You Tear Up, the Hair on the Back of Your Neck Stands Up !!! Pulse is When a Chill Goes From Your Head To Your Toes and Right Back Up Again !!! 🤠🐴🐱❤🎵❤🎶❤🎵❤❤❤
I was there when this was being recorded at earls court London 1994, i feel very privileged to have been there. Saw all their tours live from 1975 wish you were here tour Knebworth to this one 1994 the division bell tour (P.U.L.S.E)
My father died of cancer a few weeks ago.... When I was 2 years old, my first memory of him is that I couldn't sleep and we were listening to Dark Side of the Moon together. Since that day, it became a ritual for us to listen to Pink Floyd whenever I had any worries.

you are the only one in my life with whom I can really listen to this music together....
thank you

Beautiful memories. My son used to fall asleep to “Echoes” nightly. I cherish that to this day, and he’s 20 now.
So sorry for your loss...💜
May you find comfort in the memories your Dad and you created together.

Yeah, there's no dark side of the Moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark...
Richard Wright was the soul of Pink Floyd. His keyboards set the tone in so many songs.
Agreed, for me Pink Floyd was whichever group of musicians had Richard in it. And I was there.
Love Richard Wright❤
Please watch David Gilmour Remember That Night
Agree!🏴
The first thing that stood out about Pink Floyd for me was precisely the keyboards.
Saw this show in Vancouver in 94. Still the greatest concert I've ever seen.
Very jealous!
Me too. Twice

I’m 23, from Morocco, and I can’t get enough of Pink Floyd. Their music hits differently, like it’s speaking straight to my soul. It's more than sound; it’s a whole experience!
👍😎
Such a good way of putting it.
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion
30 years ago this was filmed. Perhaps the greatest show ever? The sound, the lights, just amazing. And I love the 3 background singers. They are so cool.
It's so nice to see you become a greater and greater fan of Pink Floyd! ❤
...have listened to the studio version hundreds of times, but this is the first time with their 'Pulse' live version... the first half I felt is stronger in the studio version, but then they gear up... David's vocals and guitar - just divine, and amazingly they still do have Dick Parry on Saxophone (same as on the studio version 20 years earlier) and he kills it!! Breathtaking!
And Stacey, to see you so passionate and melting away is so heart-warming - all that they deserve. You bring the magic back through your overflowing love for them... re-listening to their epic master pieces through the eyes & the heart of one of their biggest fans, can't be topped. They are the best, and You are the best - a perfect match!!! 🌈🌟💖

Epic Epic Epic Concert! I was at the Pulse Concert in 1994 and this reaction takes me right back there. I enjoy you Stacey especially at this concert, you come even more alive making this experience a treasure. I can't wait until you react to this entire concert in one setting. I can't think of Pink Floyd now without thinking of all your reactions Stacey. A HUGE THANKYOU!!!
Dick Parry on sax, the unofficial 5th member of Floyd (not counting Syd of course, or several of the hugely important stage performers later such as Guy, Tim, Jon, Snowy, etc.) but Dick’s sax on Dark Side and Wish You Were Here gives him a nudge higher on the ladder.
I listen Pink Floyd since I was a child. Nobody told me about them. One day, I heard Time and went to the record Store an stayed there half an hour trying to explained what I heard. The man said: " It´s just like noises in the beginning of the song ? " Yes, it was Pink Floyd ( The dark Side of the Moon ). Straight to the soul. Greetings from Argentina. Beautiful channel and lovely reaction. ( straight to the soul ). Sorry about my english. David Gilmour has a new CD, vinyl and soon it will be a live show on Blu Ray and DVD. It´s called " Luck and Strange " (2024). He will not play anymore in Live Shows. Thank you for the music ... and feeling it ! Nice 2025 for you and your familu !!!
Rick Wrights opening to this concert set the tone superbly . Rick was in my opinion the backbone In everything Floyd did in his two spells espially live . Thank heavens he came back to the band . RIP Rick you total and utter genius . He’s playing for the heavenly choir for definite !!!!!
They've got one hell of a band up there now. 'Who's on drums tonight, Keith or John?'
Me myself know every tone, every beat, every slip of a string of this song listening to it for over fourty years now. I first heard it when I was a 12 year old boy and now I am almost 60. There is no other band that can sound like something other then music but still is just guitars, keyboards and drums.
And the power of that magic can be seen here on the beautiful face of Stacey and it’s such a joy to see that young people like here are still being captured and touched by it.

In Gothenburg Sweden 1994 first song was Astronomy Domine. Shine On was 2nd set opener. In Pulse concert they played complete Dark Side Of The Moon. That's why the setlist was special. Even without complete Dark Side the Gothenburg concert was and still is the concert of my life. I also saw PF in Lahti,Finland 1989.
I've been to well over a 100 concerts. From Rock, to hard rock, southern rock, heavy metal, new wave, soul, funk, disco, blues, and country. No other band has ever touched me as deeply as Pink Floyd. Their concerts are on another level.
I got to see them on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. It's true, nobody talked during the songs, though plenty were singing along. You didn't dare miss a single note. And when it was time to cheer, thousands of people lost their minds screaming in awe, amazement, and triumph for getting to be right there at that moment. And everyone on stage was smiling, laughing and seemed so relaxed.
Watching Stacey react to Pink Floyd has been an amazing experience from the very beginning. It's something I very much look forward to.
The beauty of Pink Floyd is a gift, we all have a unique experience to their music but they become part of your life (like a family member) they become a constant.
I love that you get it, some people just don't see, hear and feel the magic that is Pink Floyd.
Can't wait to see you react to more of the greatest band that will ever be.
A timeless track that will still be heard a hundred years from now. Just sit back, relax, listen, let yourself be enchanted and float along emotionally. As a musician who knows a lot about music, this track is one of the best I've ever heard. It takes you on a journey, carries you away, ... shine on crazy diamond
"The Pulse" concert is Pink Floyd in their finest form.
Your passion for Pink Floyd is so infectious, I love watching Pink Floyd with you , it makes my heart burst ♥️ 😂😊
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion
This and Great Gig in the Sky are my two favorite Pink Floyd songs.
I've only seen one Pink Floyd concert, and it was from this tour.
Ohhh !! the brain cells lost getting high and listening to Pink Floyd.
“Head music” at its finest.
A new high watching Stacey react❤
Aww Stacey , I love your reactions to Pink Floyd. I love your tears as it shows you are not faking it in any way and you really love the band,. Thank you so much !!
Only David Gilmour could take FOUR NOTES and make it sound SO expansive. He truly is the greatest guitarist ever.
One of the things I always loved about Pink Floyd is that they're never in a rush. They take their time to build most of their songs; never worried about the listener's losing interest.
A Pink Floyd concert is not like any other concert. You won't see people dancing or moshing. They are mesmerized by the music and enjoy watching David, Richard, Nick, and now the other fill musicians perform. R.I.P. Richard! A great talent that will be missed. I can imagine how proud Richard was to have his son playing with him on stage! Stacey, I love how you allow the music to penetrate your soul and touch your heart! Please don't let anyone change that in you.
Those four notes...wow, just wow. I've heard them a thousand times and they never fail to send shivers through me....
I just came in to point out the greatest description I ever heard of Shine On You Crazy diamonds was " the greatest four notes ever played"
@@RobwLPOC Iconic, truly iconic.
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion..
Pink Floyd used to open their concerts with this track as a tribute to Syd Barrett , I saw them in London 1989 .
Great reaction !
Stacey when you move from listening in awe to singing along and grooving to the songs you have arrived! Welcome to The Machine
A lovely, heartfelt reaction Stacey. You really do get them. I’m lucky to have “gotten” them for 50 years ❤️🏴🇬🇧.
I saw the pulse concert live and I will never forget that experience until the day I die! And I also won't forget the guy in front of me that peed his pants during the comfortably numb solo!
😄😄😄
I was at the Pulse show in 1994 at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. I was up front in the sixth row and it was life-changing. By the time 1994 had arrived, I had seen the best performers that rock had produced up to that point. And I continue to do so up to today. This Pink Floyd concert tour is simply the best concert I have ever seen. Life changing.
❤❤️🇺🇸😎🤙🇺🇸❤️❤
For those of us who love Pink Floyd, thinking about Richard always makes us cry. He was an indispensable piece of the band and without him, Pink Floyd does not exist. I would like you to react to the song "A Boat Lies Waiting" live in Pompeii. For me, it is one of the saddest songs, about the grieve of the loss of a loved one, and David did it to say goodbye to him. Thanks for the great reaction.
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion
Saw this concert at Soldier Field July 94'. Remember having to DRAG my GF to it. By the time it was over she was in tears..
The opening solo from Dave shows perfectly how something simple can be transformed into magic.
I love watching your reaction to a Pink Floyd song. Their music reaches the soul . No other music that I've heard does that to me
With long introductions, Pink Floyd taught us patience in joy, pleasure.
Shine On was the song that introduced me to the Floyd. I got to see them just once in Copenhagen 1994. Magical :)
Epic would be an understatement, this whole concert is literally out of this world.
This is one of their masterpiece concerts. I first started following them back in '68 in the Syd Barrett years. My first concert of theirs was in '72 before they released DSOTM. We got so many of their experimental works and it was in a rectangular hall with a quad sound system so imagine the sounds circling your mind. They also introduced some new songs from their unreleased album so I can honestly say I heard them playing Dark Side of the Moon long before it was released to the world at large. We were truly graced with being some of the first to ever hear it. In quad. LIVE! Still ranks as my best concert of all times notwithstanding these later masterclass concerts. I got to both see and hear the moment of transition into the greatest period of their history.
Saw them 4 times, including twice in the 70s, No One, ever had a better sound system than Pink Floyd, they had unreal separation with multiple PA locations, freaking amazing clarity and mix, we were in awe, talking with the guys at the mixing board, these people were playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers for sound innovation.
I've been privileged to see them quite a few times live. Wembley Stadium,London, 1988...the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour......was by far the greatest gig I've ever seen,and I've seen plenty over the years. Only Rush with their 1981 Moving Pictures came near. Audibly, visually, sensually truly amazing.
I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend the Pulse tour. I find it impossible to convey to people how powerful and magical it was.
I love he comes in with the baritone sax then switches to the alto sax as the tempo goes up.
Dick Parry, utter legend!
@@vicprovost2561 His birthday this coming Sunday,Best sax man ever.
The representation of Syd on screen adds so much to the overall feel of the music.......Shine On Syd.
Hello Stacey 🥰🥰🥰!!! There are no words strong enough to define the beauty of this song, of this breathtaking concert, everything is magnificent,David ,Richard,Nick,Guy ,all the band, the music ,the sound, the light, it's PinkFloyd ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥😍😍😍!!! Opening the Pulse show with this song is a magnificent choice, I think it immediately puts the spectator in a certain state of mind for the rest of the concert!!! Thank you for this reaction as always you are awesome ❤❤❤!!!
Oh, how I remember this concert opener in New Jersey, 1994. That blinding, bright, white light sweeping the stage and then the audience!
l saw the opening tour concert,miami florida, march 30 ,,,my birthday,,,,,,,incredible concert
On 5 June 1975, Syd Barrett, by this point heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows, wandered into the studio where the band were recording shine on and the band thought he was a crew member!
When it comes to live concerts, they have the best sound.
Gilmour's guitar calling out to his old friend Syd Barrett. What he couldnt say with words, he calls out to Syd with his guitar......sadly beautiful.
Finally! This was long overdue! This and „High hopes“ are my favorite parts of the Pulse Concert! Followed by „Keep talking“ and „comfortably numb“!
Some of the performances of 'Shine On' from David's solo concerts are arguably even better: the 'Remember That Night' version (with Crosby and Nash) and the Gdansk version (with the intro played on wine glasses!) are both magical. Highly recommended!
It is one of the best songs for all times, invited of people, forever! Great music!😮😢❤🎉
I wish I could find someone to look at me, feel me, love me the way you look at Pink Floyd. I want to be someone's Pink Floyd. I guess I will always just be someone's cover band 😝 I do love them too...the lightshow on this tour was my favorite and goes so well with their music. Cheers to Marc Brickman for designing this show. 😎
I have this concert on DVD. It was recorded with "Q Sound". If you have a high quality surround sound system with a 4k DVD player and TV, makes the concert epic!
i NEVER get tired of this concert. Best production EVER.
20 years have passed, and to this day, this is still my favorite song and the one I return to from time to time to feel better. It touches my soul, just as it does to you now.
By the way, your smile is contagious, don't let it disappear 😄❤
Ok, I need to react to you finally... of everyone who does the same on RUclips, you just get it right away. Ok, so me... I've been a guitar player for 40 years and have been a die hard Pink Floyd fan for 30 years since The Division Bell. I learned David's guitar part for "Shine On..." and all the rest (including Dark Side Of the Moon) inside 1994 to 1995. I still play these songs almost every week, and I go back to Pulse all the time... always (I love many bands, but never so much as Pink Floyd... but The Beatles were my first!)
Other songs performed live at this concert that will almost move you emotionally are ‘Coming Back To Life’, ‘On The Turning Away’ and ‘Keep Talking’.
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion..
"There is no ideal spot to pause." You got that right, Stacey. This song is so deep. I'd be crying right next to you.
Me too!
Here are some great Pink Floyd songs you have yet to react to (all audio, except for the last two):
1) Welcome To The Machine
2) Brain Damage/Eclipse
3) The Narrow Way (parts 1-3)
4) Cirrus Minor
5) Fat Old Sun
6) Childhood's End
7) Absolutely Curtains
8) The Nile Song
9) Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (live at Pompeii)
10) A Saucerful Of Secrets (live at Pompeii)
Great suggestions

Wow!! Great selection, comments and reaction . . . You nailed it . . . You actually made me go back and re-watch the entire concert . . . One of your best, accurate reactions. It's obvious you are learning about RnR everyday. Keep going!!! And I will be there with you when you hit 500K subs . . . Love you in a RnR kind of way . . . Lol.
StaceyRPG, you hit the nail on the head with talking about the Pink Floyd audience going crazy at the very beginning and very end of their songs... but staying silent and taking it all in throughout the performance itself. That is... except the U.S. audiences who are downright disrespectful. This PULSE concert video was performed at Earls Court in London. In David's recent 2024 U.S. tour, he did a number of Pink Floyd standards and the audiences would cheer wildly throughout, whoop and holler during his guitar solos, and even sing along with him on songs like Comfortably Numb. When this happened David's expression was a grimace. C'mon people... respect the iconic music and keep your ears perked up and mouths shut! When the song has ended -- go berserk if you wish!
Shine On was the first song of the video that came after. In fact the concert began with like 10 minutes of birds chirping and then slowly a rumble of machinery grew and grew. Eventually all the birds were overrun. That rumble continued into the lights going down, and Nick on the drums beginning of Astronomy Domine.
Every time someone reacts emotionally to Pink Floyd I feel like a proud parent, in lack of a better way to describe it😊😂.
They are from another planet!!!!PF🤩
BTW: Stace - great reaction vids!
Syd's 79th birthday coming up on Jan 6th
30 years later... and still one of the best rock concert ever...
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion
My acquaintance with Pink Floyd began with this particular composition and this particular concert. Although recorded on an audio cassette. The very first emotions from the very first notes... It was a revelation. It was something special to hear the audience's reaction and feel this connection between the audience and the musicians. Later, when I had insomnia, this tape always helped me out, I think I learned it by heart. Soon I heard a studio recording. And finally, the entire concert on video came into my hands after a few years. And it blew up my soul. Now, after every New Year's holiday, I take out this video and watch it at night. If you do this in complete darkness, it begins to seem that you yourself are among those spectators.
To see and feel it all with you again is a new experience, and it's wonderful!
An excellent pic Stacey , I love your reactions to Pink Floyd , you always catch the meaning and pure emotion of there music , millions of us feel the same way , thank you Stacey 😊
Not many young people today get emotional or even like the music that I grew up with in the 70's. It's very refreshing to see and it's like sharing the same love for this art as others have.
I love that you are a Pink Floyd fan and appreciate their music so much because that's how I feel too. Look, I've been listening to these songs constantly for decades and I never get bored and I still get excited.
The "Wish you were here" Allbum, is still one of Top 20 Albums in my heart! AND 5 of them are Pink Floyd Albums!
The best pink floyd reactor on RUclips. You just get it!! Keep them coming
I was fortunate enough to see this concert. Been listening to Floyd for 50 years. I would bet you will be saying the same thing 50 years from now 😊
Thank you, this was a great reaction. This band " both David and Rodger" is a roller coaster of all the senses.
One of the most beautiful songs ever wrote .. Many thanks Stacey.
Hello dear Stacey👋🏼 I am very happy that you have the first song of the Pulse concert! When you start your concert like this you just know that you are going to enjoy it very much👌🏼 I always have to cry when I see songs of the Pulse concert. The lights, the music and the lyrics, everything is right💚 Pink Floyd is of a very high level music💚🧡
If I was marooned on an island with only one song to listen to, this is the one. Wonderful reaction, Stacey. I love seeing how much you love this band that I have loved my whole life. Seeing David live on stage in NYC last month was a top 3 item checked off my bucket list. Have a lovely day!!
I was 16 years old listening to this on cassette tape in my dads camper.
I would sit there alone and just absorb the music.
Great memories.
Geat reaction!
Right from when I first saw them in 1969 I don't recall any preamble, song intros or wasted words. The lights go down and they just played. Nobody playing the big star, just super musicians taking you on a journey
BTW, love your reaction. You never will get tired of listening to them. They've been with me since I was 17. I'm 75 now and they still make me shiver.
I would prefer if we have a private discu-ssion.
There are two authorized Pink Floyd cover bands touring: Australian Pink Floyd and Brit Floyd. Brit Floyd is doing the entire Pulse concert. Its not exactly the same as seeing the original band live back in the day but you can get close to the same with the exact same stage setup and concert song list.
I'm from Germany and I have seen them live in a stadium in Cologne. It was magic. And you are also magic, beautiful lady.

He did Shine. He shone through all the music his band created after he left and refuged on the dark side of the moon. He still shines. Thank you Syd for starting it all and showing them the way. You left, yes, and they faced uncertainty. But they followed the way and created something unique inspired by you. So, you did Shine, Crazy Diamond.
One of my many favourite Pink Floyd gems is: "Grantchester Meadows" from the album Ummagumma (1969). I'm sure you'll love it!
Hands down the best concert I've ever seen. My friend had a disposable camera with 36 pictures. He used it up in the first 3 songs. Lmao
You go Pink Floyd you never go back, like me 45 years ago when i still lived in Morocco as an adolescent. Now, i am 61 and i'm still getting emotional when i listen to PF and their profound lyrics: And then when one day you find, ten years have got behind you... Damned!!! How it hurts!
Sta(ce)y strong!
I Loved Every Minute of
Your Reaction To This
Breathtaking Pink Floyd Performance !!!
You Experienced The Floyd Effect.

I was there when this was being recorded at earls court London 1994, i feel very privileged to have been there. Saw all their tours live from 1975 wish you were here tour Knebworth to this one 1994 the division bell tour (P.U.L.S.E)
Pink Floyd, unlike a lot of other music, makes you feel. Their music is timeless.
