This song is written for their friend and former band mate Syd Barret who’m became mentally ill and eventually was forced to leave the band. Syd passed away in 2006. I went to the Pulse concert in Rotterdam in 1994 and believe me, I cried my eyes out.
When I was in highschool, a friend of mine and I spent all 4 years going to tons of concerts. We went to clubs to watch local bands several times a month, and to the arena & stadiums to see bigger bands maybe 15 times over that span? Anyways.. the two most memorable concerts we attended were Pink Floyd in 94, and we actually ditched our senior prom to see Page & Plant a year later. My only regret was not keeping all my ticket stubs.
Rogher Waters says that Wish you were here is only partially about Sid.
That is correct and David said the same thing. The whole album is kinda Syd reflective, but this was not specific for him like Shine On
I was this one - Earls Court in London. It was even better than this.
(S)hine On (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond is fully a tribute Syd. His name is even in the title! The WYWH album had themes of him throughout and how much they missed their friend. But this song is about loss, on a universal level. Just missing someone.
so... I lost a daughter a couple years ago. Today is her birthday, and I happened to come across your video. Every single day , I wish she was here, and every time I hear this song it reminds me of her and I cry too. Thank you for your raw honest response and reaction to the greatest songs ever written... peace to you.
RIP Sid❤, you don't listen to Pinkfloyd,you feel Pinkfloyd, the greatest band ever, absolutely amazing ❤
We guys, who went to the Pulse concert, cried our eyes out - be sure.
A lot of us were.....comfortably numb. 🙂
Absolutely!
No tears for me@@robertsimmons9423
New Orleans version Pulse
alot of us were on acid...just sayin....@@chrisgruidel3740
I am 70 years old and with so much of Pink Floyd's music I struggle to keep dry eyes, they find your deepest emotions and tear you open. I am so pleased that you are enjoying the experience.
For all of us that were lucky enough to see this band I’m positive it will remain the best rock show we’ve ever seen 😃
100%
'Shine on you crazy diamond' is a must from this concert! ❤
Actually, DO NOT do 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' from this Pulse concert. This version misses out one complete guitar solo (out of 3!) and the song suffers for it BIG time in my opinion. The audio version has three distinct guitar solos and each should be experienced the way the band meant them to be. Try that version first before moving onto the Pulse version.
Yes studio version I-V is a must, plus VI-XI can't be overlooked. I actually think it's as good or better. @@gbsailing9436
@@gbsailing9436I agree. Definitely not Pulse because the intro is cut short from the keyboards.
In addition, the 3rd solo is the better of all three and so the whole character of the music is poorer without it. Do the audio version first. then come back here at your leisure.
@@kgunitkeese17
I'm 74 and have loved Pink Floyd for almost all of my life. Yes, I tear up often even if I have heard a song many,many times. They are so deep and full of emotion. I've suggested "Time" a few times now and advised the studio version, but if you want to experience the Pulse live version, you will not be disappointed. Listen to the lyrics and see if they change your outlook on life like it did me when I first heard it in my Twenties.
Studioversion of "Time AND Great Gig in the Sky", please... they belong together!
Yes Do the audio versions first as they have so much more sonic blessedness to them. Sure the live versions are great, but the audio versions are the way the band wanted the song to sound and have so much more sonic depth!
@@janistan
What brings tears to my eyes when I listen to Pink Floyd is that many of their songs reacquaint me with my youth and my mortality. I'm a veteran so it's not that I'm afraid of death and God knows I've been around it a lot. Rather they invoke feelings of nostalgia, regret, passion and many other emotions. I contemplate my past choices in life which have allowed me to live it to the fullest of my ability. There is always something that everybody thinks to themselves, I could/should have done this or that differently. Every Pink Floyd song has some ability to make you feel a vast array of emotions.
But the real truth of it all is that their music is beautiful and I will miss it. Yet then, I just might bump into them in the afterlife.
Thank you for your service to our Country my friend, it is appreciated 🙏..I love Floyd, I am also a big Deadhead too, they kind of go hand in hand anyway..I always say that I hope Jerry's playing is the soundtrack to my afterlife..would've loved to see Jerry and Dave jam together, unfortunately it never happened tho..take care and stay safe..Peace ✌️
"Coming Back to Life" from the Pulse concert has the most beautiful solo you will ever hear.
Massively under played, super uplifting tune 👍👍👍
A simply beautiful song ❤
I agree
the whole Pulse Live is an experience. Amazing performance and recording.
David dressed like hes about to fix your plumbing then proceeds to pump out some of the most iconic guitar riffs ever
That's a great observation, Steven. He's obviously saying "it's what ya sound like, not what ya look like. We all know the bands who he's talking about. All glam, no substance.
Wonderful tribute to Syd Barret, not to be forgotten, Richard Wright who passed away in 2008 and who was such an integral part of Pink Floyd
Beautiful reaction. You are so going to love covering Dark Side of the Moon.
62 years old here, seen Floyd 3 times back in the day and I still cry watching videos of them 😎
We've all been rocking with them since the 60s - this is normal. Their concerts were like this. We grew up with them, and yes, we still feel it in our 70s, as we did in our teens and 20s. So glad you found them.
Your father is correct. You need to hear an entire Pink Floyd album non-stop ... wearing headphones ... in the dark ... and if Dad didn't tell you, being high improves the experience tremendously. That is how I learned how to listen to Pink Floyd when they first arrived and it remains my preferred way to listen to them.
Still listenknh hihh yo floyd am 59 year young man, still floating on floyd
Congratulations on your Pink Floyd addiction Stacey! ;) You still have many trips to go. And you will love them all! Promise! Its great to see you explore their music. Love it! ❤
There are so many great Pink Floyd songs and albums.
The 60s and 70s were two of the greatest decades for artists and bands. The best of them just didn't stop.
This song was written for one of the founders of Pink Floyd, Sidney Barrett. Like Shine on you Crazy Diamond. He was the front man for Pink Floyd until drugs took him down. David didn't want to release this Trac, Roger Waters wrote it.Syd was diagnosed with what was in that time a specific diagnosis in the DMS IIi. However, one could only guess as Syd was fairly well protected. Either way it was the saddest song that Pink Floyd ever wrote. How devastating the issues that people go through.
It devastated the band. Hmm, enough said.
Roger said publicly that, indeed Shine On was about Syd. But, for wish you were here, he never put a name to it. He said it's more about absence of a friend in general that the listener will make his own of it. It fits with the thematic of the album, which is absence.@@stephenreiner1523
Roger wrote the lyrics and David wrote the music. Where did you hear/read that David didn't want to release this track? I've never heard that before and find it odd that might be the case, considering how integral to the album this song is. Thematically, especially.
Pink Floyd put out a lot of good music through the decades. However the four albums they put out in the 70s - Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall - is the pinnacle of their output. Another note, with the Pulse concerts, although great performances, one of the founding members, Roger Waters, had previously left the band and was not in the lineup.
Pink Floyd's bassist Roger Waters left the band in 1985 before the Pulse tour. He was one of the main song writers of the band and wrote all these beautiful lyrics to these songs. I recommend to watch Pink Floyds reunion in Live 8. That's the last time the whole Pink Floyd has ever played. It's so emotional when Roger and David are singing together to Syd Barret who had to left the band because of mental problems. The lurics just fit so well to the concert. "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl."
Roger actually left before the Momentary laps of Reason tour of 87-89. The Pulse tour wasn't until 1994-1995 to support the Division Bell album.
@@jessejames5825 I didn't mean that he left right before the Pulse. My point is that he wasn't in the Pulse tour.
I attended 2 Pink Floyd concerts (Cincinnati and Miami) as well as many other big name bands. The best 2 live concerts I have ever attended were Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd.
I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap frogged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION…
I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times.
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shock both hands at the same time, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well.
Yankees Stadium right🤔
Syracuse Carrier Dome... N.Y.@@thomassanchez-oo6sb
I've seen a few of his 84 shows on RUclips. Despite the boom in success that Pink Floyd had after the In The Flesh tour, David Gilmour on his own was still relatively small and intimate. It was like seeing a Jerry Garcia Band show without The Grateful Dead. If I were him, I'd miss those kind of shows where I'd be able to just be myself with the fans.
Nice 👍 I
My god!! I'm 62 and finally someone that sees this band for who they are! Your tears affirm me.
Amen Brother.....also 62.
62 here as well and their music still hits just as hard as the first time fifty years ago
Haha me too
Makes 5 of us!...63 tomorrow. We grew up at a great time. Viet Nam was over and the music was great! Pink Floyd continues to touch souls...great to see.
The wistful helplessness of the last chorus when he adds another 'How I wish' to "How I wish you were here." is just heart wrenching. The words speak for themselves, but the song is set as someone listening to the radio, scrolling through stations until they find a song they like, and then playing along with their own guitar and then singing along for someone they really care about who they miss.
Hi Stacey, my name is Gianni ,i'm from Italy. I saw this concert in 1994 at the Torino Stadium delle Alpi. Every time I watch a video from this concert, my eyes starts to be wet and a lot of memories running in my Heart and in my brain. You are living a wonderful experience and you are seeing the light !!! I Wish you all the best in your Life !!!
When Pink Floyd played in a soocer stadium near my home town on their tour, next day the local newspaper wrote about complaints from neighbors who couldn't sleep because of the sound. I just smiled at my mother and told her, this is the last time they heard dinosaurs walk the Earth.
I was at this very concert and yes, I did cry my eyes out. Pretty embarrassing for a 35 year old guy, but I wasn't the only one.
The whole gig was an emotional and spiritual experience.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
I love this song.... you can feel the tempo start to run away, but they still make that work like it was supposed to do that. Such a great show
I saw Pink Floyd the first time in ‘84. The 15,000 seat arena was sold out, of course. The part that hit me the hardest… no one stood up, during songs like this. Overcome with emotion, and in awe of the talent witnessed.
Many say that the song "Wish You Were Here" is about Syd Barrett, founding Floyd member, who had to leave the group after what has been called a drug induced psychological breakdown after an album and a half. David Gilmour was his replacement.
The song is about and lyrics written by Roger.
I think this was the first of the encore songs - that's why the crowd is going crazy.
Dig this. I saw Pink Floyd live on April 12, 1975 at the Cow Palace in Brisbane, California about 15 miles south on highway 101 from San Francisco. Then I saw them 2 years later in 1977 for the Animals tour at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. The 75 concert was the most incredible concert ever. They played alone for 4 hours. They played the entire Dark Side of The Moon Album and the entire Echoes album and several songs from the Wish You Were Here new Album that had not been released yet. It was released in September 1975. I consider myself so lucky to have grown up in this era. I had just turned 18 in April 75 when I attended this show with about 10 of my closets friends. Will never forget that show.
Saw pulse tour in 94 in ohio buckeye stadium and Arrowhead stadium kansas city . The giant disco ball looked like the moon when it lit up . Pink floyd doesnt put on a concert! THEY GIVE YOU AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME ❤
He crowd is cheering as much for the song as they are for Syd Barrett, their former founding member for whom this song iis about. He mentally never returned from a bad acid trip way back in their early years. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is another song written for/about Syd and his struggles as is parts of the Wall album. I hope your feeling better and your recovery is progressing as it should...❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, again... they are just stepping back behind their music... very humble... and it is not in the written music... you cannot write down humbleness... but it is part of the beauty conveyed. Thank you Stacey for sharing your emotions / reactions... I feel very much the same...
Your dad is so correct. Pink Floyd albums need to be listened from beginning to the end. Love Pink Floyd since 69.😎
Stacey. I am 53 and I love seeing younger people discover this music and seeing your reactions to these songs. You are bringing it to more of your generation. Thank you.❤❤❤
In college, we would sit around drinking and eventually the guitars would come out. My friend and I were the only ones who knew the words, so we would sing this every time.
He died sophomore year. I sat in my dorm room and played this song over and over on my Walkman until the cassette tape snapped. That was 1989. I still think of him whenever I hear this.
I cannot more highly recommend "Great Gig in the Sky"! Album version will move you but the one from the Pulse concert is also very awesome!
Although the album version should the listened to, I think the Pulse version is much better for a reaction video especially for someone who enjoys watching Pink Floyd live.
Really disagree. Both versions are breath taking and the two female vocalists are superb. But the original studio version with the original singer is just perfection.
Everybody cried their eyes out at this concert.... and almost 30 years later, we still are.
Mi madre fué una Pink Floydiana...en su funeral (ella lo pidió en vida), pusimos Mother y Whish you were here 😢... ella ya tenía casi 97 años.
Gracias por traer a tu canal a Pink Floyd!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Started listening to Pink Floyd in '72' 52 years ago, and have loved the whole journey..
I read your comment and thought there’s no way in hell 72 was 52 years ago. Then I did the math, god we’re old, lol
@@davidschmidbauer3930Yep, how and when did that happen to us. Now 'Dark Side' turns 50. Somehow something seems wrong with that-------
Thank you so much for a beautiful reaction. I am so enjoying your Pink Floyd journey. You are at the very beginning of it... It makes me smile to think how powerful, emotional and wondrous your journey will be. It's a journey I embarked upon around 1970. In 54 years I must have heard every Pink Floyd album literally thousands of times, and I still play them and still enjoy them. Pink Floyd have been the soundtrack of my life.
I was at the Pulse concert you have been watching. It was the most incredible, wonderful, emotional thing I had ever seen. I pretty much stopped going to concerts after that because I knew I would never see anything better in my life.
One song that you should react to from Pulse is "The Great Gig in the Sky". If you've been emotional up to now listening to Pink Floyd, that song will really make you feel emotional like no other. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded by anybody and the performances are absolutely incredible. I would absolutely adore seeing your reaction because I know it will hit you in the same way it never fails to hit me.
The very best of luck with the channel and it is so wonderful seeing somebody receptive and eloquent like yourself starting your Pink Floyd journey. There are so many people who have done the same on RUclips and so many of them have ended up in tears like you.
Take care. Andy.
They were amazing on that tour. I saw them at an outdoor venue and it was rainy all day until sunset when the show started. The rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the music started. Unforgettable.
By chance were you at the Cleveland, Ohio concert? The exact same weather happened when I was there 👍🤣
@@user-uy9ux2tj8d

I assume you've got a list of more Pink Floyd to do but here's just a few more worth checking out:
Sorrow, Mother, Coming Back To Life, Time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (a long one), Breathe, Another Brick in the Wall, Louder Than Words, Echoes (it's like 20 minutes long but worth it), Dogs (another long one), The Great Gig In The Sky, Learning To Fly, Money, Hey You, Marooned (instrumental, quite 'spacy'), One Of These Days.
The good thing is you've barely scratched the surface of great Floyd songs. You've enjoyed them so far, there's plenty more where that came from.
Your journey with Pink Floyd continues. Bravo Stacey!
I seen Pink Floyd on this same tour in June 1994 in Vancouver. Amazing show!! Wish You Were here is not only my favorite Pink Floyd song but It's my favorite song period. One of the 1st songs I learned to play on guitar.
I was at the P.U.L.S.E. concert in May 1994 Atlanta, GA. I remember being shocked when hearing that Pink Floyd had done a new album call Division Bell. Once I heard that message on the radio, my sole purpose in life was to obtain a concert ticket. I was in Army A.I.T. training at Fort Gordon, GA at the time and took a taxi to Augusta to get my ticket, which came with a "Party Bus" for those who needed a ride to Atlanta and back. Graduation day was posted on the next day following the concert. The party bus was a group of die hard Pink Floyd fans like me!!! So much fun before we even got to the concert but boy were we blown away!!! I made it back to the base at 2:00am, way past curfew, and made it to the 6:00am graduation ceremony with my Pink Floyd T-shirt on under my class A uniform 😅 ... a forever memory ... so great to be young and bulletproof back then 😉
Seeing Pink Floyd live is one of the highlights of my life. This band is a guiding light for me. They are so special 💚. Enjoy the songs that will come. You will be amazed every time.
It must be one of the most touching and beautiful pieces of music! I cried a lot after listening to their music too.
I've seen well over a thousand concerts. The three straight cold,rainy Pink Floyd shows in 1994 remain the best ever.
Hi Stacey, first, I love your show! I am a huge Floyd fan since 1979. (I am 59 today) In the nineties I finally had the chance to see Pink Floyd live. I went to to this concert in 1994 in Rotterdam. And yes we went crazy and yes we cryed our eyes out. The concert was sensational and the best I ever saw, to today. And I saw quite a few....
Once in a life time. You are absolutely right. It was 1994 but I remember every single moment. Thank you, Stacy, as usual. I hope you feel better today...
To me, the most important line of the lyrics is "Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" That line always makes me think about my life. By the way, you kept saying "the album." The 4-5 songs you have heard have been from 4-5 albums. You dad is right; Pink Floyd created concept albums. But you're going to have to choose which album.
I was at the concert, I feel very blessed. Great reaction video. I was 33 at the time and cried through the whole show, I’m 63 now and it still feels amazing
I saw Pink Floyd 11 times on this tour and each time was mesmerizing and emotional! It was definitely one of those "you had to be there" tours.
Aprecio tu gran sensibilidad.
Siempre veo tus reacciones porque son genuinas y naturales.
Te deseo lo mejor.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V and VI-IX would be great!!
This song is the one that is worth the price of admission alone.
Hi Stacey. Bill again. You found the one pink floyd song that brings me to tears from the very first note. This was the 1st song I learned to play on my dad's acoustic 6 string Takamine guitar when I inherited it. Rip dad. Ty Stacey. My favorite song of all time. Cheers
From the same Pulse Concert, please check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL fasten your seat belt).
Please do “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” album version. Both I-V and VI-IX
Stacey,I am 70 and I still cry with most of this music
Stacey you are a beautiful and wonderful soul!! I'm glad I found your channel.
If I am not mistaken, this was the first of two encore songs. Encores are generally a planned part of the show [if] the band is up to playing them and the audience's ovation is grand enough. The wish you were here encore was a great choice because it began with the recorded intro from the album. I always got the impression the song was about Syd Barrett as if he were listening to the radio, switching channels until he came upon the rhythm guitar piece and laid down a lead solo over it (as if to play along with the radio). This gave the Pulse audience a slight uncertainty if there was going to be a live encore performance of the song, and when they picked up on the recording with the 12 string guitar and then David's solo lead... the crowd went even more nuts than they had been (trying to get Pink Floyd to play an encore) in the first place. Another mastery of the band, knowing how to maximize audience anticipation and participation.
I was in attendance at the filming of this concert. It was at Earls Court in London. PF played 12 nights at the end of the Pulse tour, I was there for 3 of those nights.
There are people that search for the perfection. Then you find people that have a gift that make it so easy and sometimes touch a chord that can change your life.
Young lady, I do believe by your reaction and the authentic sound in your voice when you say, "I love Pink Floyd", you will love Pink Floyd for your entire life..
I saw the "post-Waters" Pink Floyd twice, but before the Pulse concert. Saw them on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in the late-80's, it was a comeback for them at the time a few years after The Wall. The breakup with Roger and the legal issues were still hot at the time. Then, saw them on the Division Bell tour in the early 90's, before the Pulse concert in GB. Incredicble both times.
I've seen Floyd so many times live
Pulse was a classic concert
Syd Barret was a much loved member of the band in their early years and this song was meant as a tribute to him
Along with Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters, Syd brought the world a wealth of musical brilliance while popular music was still finding its feet
Absolute legends 1 and all
Hello from Switzerland, yes, well, whatever Dad says you should listen to, my daughter does it too (sometimes😛).
I agree with you more than 100%, I would have loved to have been at the concert, whatever you paid for a ticket, what you got was more than worth every cent.
The song is even more intense when you miss someone who may no longer be in this world, at least that's how it feels for me, that's exactly why it's so beautiful.
Yes, David comes across like a plumber (=normal street clothes), you wonder what the craftsman is doing on stage until he starts playing the guitar, at the latest then you realize, no, that's not the plumber. 😂 For me, that makes him and Pink Floyd all the more remarkable because they don't actually put on a show themselves, but they offer so much more musically, as well as the really atmospheric and impressive lighting effects to compensate (visually).
The Pulse concert is definitely one of the best ever, but certain elements of the remastered versions bother me, so I prefer the "old" ones.
The whole album, wonder how accurate that looks, but if it's just the CD version, I don't know how excited people are to look at it.
I'm missing another title, "The Great Gig in the Sky", I would also be very happy about your reaction to it.
The great thing about going to concerts in this time period was that nobody was on their phones or were trying to video the performance. Everyone was in the moment (albeit, many were out of their minds on hallucinogens). I caught them 5 times on this tour, and the crowd was into every song, start to finish. 30 years (and over 100 concerts) later and this is still one of the best concerts I have attended.
I saw them on the tour this was recorded on. They had the whole stadium singing this song with them. Saw them at Sullivan Stadium in Foxborough MA. The old home of the New England Patriots before they built Gilette Stadium. The whole place was rocking.
Stacey. Coming back to life........... from the same concert A must watch
Love this song.....an epitaph for so many of my departed friends; two shout outs in particular - my late Father, Les AKA "The Don", and "Big Al", my dear old mate, a giant of a man with a heart to match😇😇😇😇I wish you were here🥰🥰🥰🥰
This girl is in love with David Gilmore. She cries every time she sees him. So sweet!
It was my privilege seeing them live in Yankee stadium in early 90's.
Interesting fact Stacey. This song wish you were here was written for and about the founding member of pink floyd,...Sid Barret. In fact the entire album wish you were here have multiple references to sid in the songs. Shine on you crazy diamond gives reference to hoe sid went crazy from over drug abuse. I'm a huge floyd fan. Best band of all time. Cheers
So happy and glad your back Stacey I hope your feeling much better now
The crowd sang along because they understood the meaning of this song and who it was a tribute to.
RIP Syd. You will always be loved, celebrated, and treasured.
Every one of your PF reactions have been heart felt. Any PULSE song is amazing but "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a masterpiece of music composition. It is one of the longest songs to react to but will be worth it.
Young lady, I have come to really enjoy your reactions to one of my top 5 bands/artists of all time (and I'm 65, so that's saying something). You may not be (as you say) a musical expert... but your humanity, empathy, and emotional connection TO the music makes you a different kind of expert. I've been listening to Pink Floyd since my teens (in the 70s). I am a fan of yours as you take me back. This was wonderful. I'm on to "Great Gig in the Sky" next. I HOPE it's the studio album version with Clare Torry. I'm predicting that will also bring you to tears. Great reaction!!
I.m 67 and I couldn't have said that better!!!
Songs are always quite simply constructed - with a blues groove, imo. Great lyrics, comprehensive musicianship from all of them. Vocals great, backing singers immaculate, guitar work, keys, drums, bass, support musicians always absolutely first class...and if that is not enough! - man can they put on a show. Lighting, concept, production, stage management and a fantastic sound system. They were the consumate live band, for years. Lots of tremendous albums for you to listen to. I envy you - I wish I was starting out on my 'Floyd journey' for the first time.Good news is that 50 years later (yes - 50!) I still listen to them
I am so old, I saw Pink Floyd in Pompeii!! Great reaction.
Still after all these years. Still brings tears to my eyes ❤😢
Trust me- you’re not alone. We cried….
I was there. Delicate Sounds of Thunder in 87, and Pulse in 94. No other concert comes close. Saw Nick Mason (Saucerful of Secrets) at the Paramount in Seattle a few years ago, also. Nick was really fun, but Pink Floyd is chilling.
This is one of the only Pink Floyd songs I can play verbatim on guitar. I'm loving that you are loving Pink Floyd.
Hola Stacey, me emociona ver una chica tan joven que se emociona tanto con estos mounstros de la música. Yo crecí con ellos y no los cambio por nada. Época dorada de la música. Queen, Zeppelin, Purple , Yes y otros. Gracias 😊
I saw them perform on the Pulse tour and yeah it was pretty amazing. thanks for bringing back a great memory.
I was at this show, a couple nights after this recording, on the last night of the Division Bell world tour. I've seen this footage more times than I can count, and yet still today watching it alongside you I was welling up. This is why I so much enjoy rewatching these great songs in videos like yours - it's like seeing them for the first time through new eyes.
I'm so glad you've found PF so profound and "therapeutic".
I wanted to make you aware that the "Pulse" tour/album is actually a 'Greatest Hits' album and has no theme. Ironically, the songs you've reacted to are all from separate albums:
High Hopes - The Division Bell
Comfortably Numb - The Wall
On the Turning Away - A Momentary Lapse of Reason
Wish You Were Here - Wish You Were Here.
Each of these albums has it's own concept, theme or story. Keeping with that pattern, I suggest the next 'Pulse' performance you review should be either "Time" or "Money" from the album Dark Side of the Moon.
Hey Stacy, so great to hear that you are getting out great music in the day when music was exordenary music. A time in the past. You need the play Pink Floyd way back in the day, play this Careful with that axe Eugene, great song live version.
Saw them live in Oslo in 1993. Best consert of my life. Period!! Wish there was a time machine availiable for you so you could go back in time to experience them live yourself. 😊
I love seeing your reactions to Pink Floyd. I've been a huge fan for many years and was fortunate enough to see them in concert in 1994. Their music does have a way of uniting people. I remember a feeling of "collectiveness" throughout the concert. It was so surreal. Great reaction again!
The lyrics of Pink Floyd songs are incredible....
Pure poetry ❤
When you hear about Syd Barret history and his relationship with this song, it will be a multiplier for the emotions and the tears. Congrats to be engaged in Pink Floyd mood.
Thank you for sharing another Pink Floyd experience. This is one of Pink Floyd's iconic songs. You should listen to the studio version. As great as this performance was, the studio version wearing headphones is magical. And that's why the crowd is screaming. Though I'd love to see it, you don't have to do another reaction. Just for your own pleasure. What I would like to see you react to is Great Gig in the Sky, but definitely studio version with Clare Torry's vocals. I guarantee, you've never heard anything like it.
I went to this gig (not the night of this recording, on the following night) and I cried like a baby at some points. I had to drive back from London to Liverpool afterward and was still an emotional wreck!
We used to drink beer and eat mushrooms in the parking lot before the shows in the early 80's...then it was drinking vodka and taking some X before the shows in the late 80's...then tequila and molly in the 90's. Now we tell our kids not to do drugs and go with them to the show totally sober while trying to remember that girls name I met so many years ago, the girl with her nipples poking through the macrame shirt she was wearing...
I saw them around 3 years before this show,,,,, and yes i did cry a couple times
