This song is from Dark Side of the Moon, which came out in 1973. The concert you're watching in this video was in 1994. This is generally considered to be one of the best concerts of all time, and you could choose any of it to react to and be happy. Pink Floyd at the time of this concert was comprised of three members: David Gilmour (lead singer, guitar), Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals) [RIP 2008], and Nick Mason (drums, percussion). When the song was written and first recorded Roger Waters (vocals, bass) was also a member. Some of their most brilliant lyrics are his. But through a hairy court battle that lasted a few years Roger Waters left and three remaining members went on to record a few more albums. Because Pink Floyd's music is so highly layered it's necessary to have several more musicians and singers when they play live so they can reproduce what they do in the studio. If you're going to watch more live Pink Floyd, I'd recommend Comfortably Numb, One of These Days, Great Gig in the Sky, and Sorrow from the Pulse concert, and On the Turning Away and Dogs of War from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert. If you're going to listen to studion versions I'd recommend every album from Meddle through The Division Bell. But if you want just a few songs to begin with, give Hey You, Time, Have a Cigar, and Echoes a listen. Don't let the length of any of Pink Floyd's songs dissuade you, they all leave you wanting more. Just let them take you where they want you. Pink Floyd have mastered the gradual build-up to set the mood, and they take their sweet time about it. Just let go, it's a journey, an experience. Enjoy! 💗✌🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽
Okay, I see you've already heard Time and Comfortably Numb. Definitely check out Comfortably Numb live, then. It'll blow your mind. It's got one of the best guitar solos of all time.
This video was from 1994 PULSE concert at Earl's Court in London. It was 21 years after the song was released as part of The Dark Side of the Moon album. David Gilmour, the guitarist and lead singer is 78 years old (79 on March 6th of 2025). Basically, he's 2 weeks shy of being 1 year older than me. He was 48 years old in this live performance.
@@RobTalksMess-i6u And for good reason. It's arguably the greatest album of the 20th Century, and its long-term success in eye-popping sales is a testament to that argument. Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973. Wish You Were Here was released in '75. We're about to turn the calendar to 2025 and they're still the two greatest albums of my lifetime.
Okay Rob, remember this band is the cream of the crop. Their lyrics, sights, lights, and interpretations are the keys to their music, it's all interwoven and may change who you are. Doing research on their songs would enhance your experience their music is very unique. Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd, and yes live versions are better in almost every situation. Here are some songs to check out next: Great Gig In The Sky, Time, Keep Talking, and Money. Good Luck.
The lead singer/guitar player is David Gilmour. Hardcore fans will be quick to tell you to never pause when he plays a guitar solo. So this is just a heads up. I like the whole PULSE concert so i bought it on Bluray. I can highly recommend that you check out a lot of the songs from that concert. Those are some of the absolutely best live versions i have heard from Pink Floyd.
The saxophonist is Dick Parry, he was at school with Lead guitarist David Gilmour, the original lead guitarist was Syd Barrett, David Gilmour taught him to play guitar, and when Syd had to leave the band because of drug use David took his place, this change started Floyd's journey to stardom.
They basically wrote a blank check to make this production happen....and it shows. Professionals in the business for a very long time and who know how to put on an unforgettable live AAA class performance.
Saxophone was very big in early jazz, big band and through the 1950's early rock and roll and on into the 90's but you are right it has been lost in today's music. Nothing is layered in today's electronic sound like it was when we had multiple musicians with diverse styles and technical skills playing on each track. Now it is common to have one person and a machine trying to create all of it and it really doesn't work because everything is coming from one source, and talent as well as diversity get lost in the mix. Some of the old rockers could play multiple instruments and often would play all the instruments on their releases but the reality is they were true musicians and they understood music and music theory so they knew what they needed to accomplish to not have their music seem flat and how to use each instrument from a different perspective. Prince was a musician who played just about every instrument there was and played each one well. There are several others but he is one that comes to mind because he was picking up instruments almost as soon as he could walk and playing them like he had been doing so for decades. I had a friend who toured with Prince and he said that while other band members would go out after a show to bars and such, Prince would go back to his hotel to create and play music. He was a true genius of music, strange personality but incredible musician. As far as Pink Floyd and this song, it is a masterpiece. Pink Floyd's music takes the soul on a magic ride and the lyrics bend your thoughts into strange levels of understanding or lack there of. This is a fantastic band, I have always loved them. They were great live, too. I was lucky enough to be able to attend some of their concerts.
Also, the song is part of a concept album where each side makes up one full piece of music with different movements. They played the full album live here and the song segues into a fantastic instrumental called "Any Colour You Like".
@@RobTalksMess-i6u Yeh, This concert was essentially split into 3 sets of songs, of which, the second set was the entirety of the Dark Side of the Moon album :)
The best concert of all time. Pick any song from the “pulse concert” venue and it’s still 30 yrs later, one of the best engineered, produced, and outstanding talent ever assembled.
I would do the studio versions of Pink Floyd first, not just for the amazing Sonic experience, but for the lyrics which tend to be a cut above what you normally hear in popular music. Then you can compare with the live versions which are always off the charts when it comes to this band. Keyboardist Richard Wright is one of the founding members of Pink Floyd. None of the members of this legendary British band has ever played with anyone else. Wright passed away in 2008, RIP. "Dark Side of the Moon" released in 1973, is one of the biggest selling albums of all time. It is a concept album and is an extraordinary listen... Meant to be listened to as a whole as nearly all the songs bleed into each other. Check out "Comfortably Numb" studio version first, next. 👍
Pink Floyd always sounded immaculate live. Apart from being top musicians they used probably the most expensive and sophisticated surround audio system ever used for live performance. I was there on recording night, the sound quality was mind blowing. Btw. It is political. You say you don't know much about Pink Floyd but they are British and sit at number 3 in the all time album selling charts (behind Michael Jackson and AC/DC). This number is from The Dark Side of the Moon which spent 17 continuous years in the charts. In 1994 Pink Floyd were Dave Gilmour guitar/vocals, Nick Mason drums & Richard Wright keys/vocals plus a touring company of 8 musicians. Wright died 2008 and PF stopped performing, though Gilmour (now 78) and Mason (80) still tour with their own bands. The bassist since 1988, Guy Pratt plays for both bands.
Song is very political and focuses on the tragedies we call war. I don't think civil rights is the issue, but simply factors associated with modern war, which could be civil war as well. To get a better context, the remaining 3 songs which follow Us and Them (Any Color You Like, Brain Damage, and Eclipse) on side B of Dark Side of the Moon need to be listened to.
All of the Pulse Tour Live at Earls Court is Fantastic. Always Live reactions Please. New sub. "Night Wish" is another fantastic live band. They cover PFs "High Hopes" Steely Dan uses Sax and other horns.
DSOTM was on the charts for over 950 + wks. P.F. is a band you sit and listen to. Unlike rock & Roll where you are about doing what ever. Not R & R. Think US ( Troops) & Them ( The politicians making war)
Obviously, your comments are from a young person delving into new music, and as such, should be respected, but some longtime fans have a problem with anything less than all-out praise. Please don't let them dissuade you from listening to more Floyd. You may never enjoy their music to the degree we do, but, you will, by listening to more 60s,70s and 80s music, appreciate why we 'oldies' find today's music pretty boring. @RobTalksMess-i6u
@@RobTalksMess-i6u When watching a live performance your VISION take first place above sound . When you listen to the NINE part track "Shine on you Crazy Diamond " of the Pink Floyd -Wish You Were Here -album then watch the live performance you only get 30% of the album version. And if you watch the track MONEY with video the track is cut shorter for radio and MTV. LISTEN to album version
Not with Pink Floyd, and especially not with this concert. The live versions here are every bit the equal (and sometimes surpassing the impact) of the studio originals - absolutely stunning and sublime. About the only thing I’d miss here (a bit) is the pleasure of staring at album’s record jacket designs while listening, and the naturally intimate captive-listener effect the album conjures up when one hears it alone, like I did as a kid, all enraptured with my LP of “Wish You Were Here”.
Formed in London in 1964, Pink Floyd is Legendary, one of the greatest Rock bands ever. They've sold over 300 million albums worldwide!
Wow 300 million is crazy!
"One" of the best? "The" best IMO. Of course, mine is the only opinion that matters.

Ahhh okay. I could tell it was later on since the band looked older but not as old as today obviously lol
@@RobTalksMess-i6u Yeah, Gilmour is 78 😃 And still rockin' 💗🤘🏽
I'd add Keep Talking, Another Brick In the Wall, and Learning To Fly to your starter PULSE list.

Rick Wright is the keyboardist, with the band since the beginning. Sadly, he passed in 2008. Yes, they are British.
I thought I heard the accent!
Floyd doesn't make music they create journeys/experiences
Haha I like that

After a world tour, they filled Earl's Court 15 nights in a row!!!
They basically wrote a blank check to make this production happen....and it shows.

yes it definitely shows
Theybeen together for over 50 years!
It's incredible how they've managed to stay relevant and create timeless music for so long!

It's about war. Fighting people just like yourself.

Thanks for the back information!
Nick Mason, the drummer, never sings, but he can be heard on 'One of these Days'
He's also the only band member in the group from start to finish.
oh interesting, ok so he's the one silent member except for one song...
Good pick up on the accent, they were formed in London but most of the members, if not all, are from the Cambridge area, I believe.
I knew it!! A lot of times when people with British accents sing, I can't tell until they speak normally. But in this case I heard it
Please check out the PULSE LIVE version of TIME, and also RUN LIKE HELL.
I actually have a video coming out soon on "run like hell".... stay tuned!

Too bad you talked so much rather than immerse yourself into the song. Don't talk in church bro.
Too many pauses 👎
You lost mee, 4 pause in 2 minuts, thank you and farvel
lol Thanks for watching. It's my honest reaction so I may pause more in some videos than others
I listen to Pink Floyd since 55 years and I think all your comments are empty!
