I don't remember where exactly I heard this but I read once that David Gilmour previous to joining Pink Floyd went through a period working as a male model (photography? advertisements?) and also went through a period being homeless? Is that true? I wish we could hear more about this period of his life, sounds intriguing at least. Hearing more about the events that lead to these things happening.
i just told that to my GF today... actually landed here showing her Gilmours magic... Oh man the performance in pompei when he plays coming back to life... and the solo of comfortably numb in Gdanks
@@CoronelOcioso Gdansk wasn't bad, but listen to Gilmore's solo in Brazil. ruclips.net/video/WJtH7Uw2e2A/видео.html plus the fans. Kids ...who knew the text (of CN)
From a dimension in which art consists of sound. Clear as a bell the silence is filled with sound. Over and over again. It is this one particular tone sequence that you have deeply in your heart. Which alone is enough to awaken indescribable memories and feelings. You lean back and start to smile. The singing. Your gaze lowers, your breath becomes deeper. You will notice how your heart throbs faster and your skin is shaken by shivering. You close your eyes and listen to the music. At the same time, it feels reassuring and yet stimulating. Embedded in bell-like sounds. Unobtrusive yet catchy. It is this very special voice, which can sound so calm and so powerful. This very special rhythm that lets you sink first, just to get you out of here and lets you gasp. The acoustic guitar. Their reef seems so simple. And yet it goes so deeply. So wonderful sounds. Let you float in other spheres. Before your eyes arise images, whole worlds, in which you want to sink forever, which carry you far out. In another dimension, where art consists of sound. The more and more intense, the more and more builds up. A crescendo of sound and feeling. The bells release you. There is now peace in you. You listen to the steady sound of the bells, the voice, the rhythm. Lets you wear again. Higher and higher. Again a new crescendo. The Solo. Deep cuts the guitar into your core. Your breath stops. You can not think of anything, just feel the beauty of these sounds. Unable to do anything. Sit there. Very quiet, eyes closed. The heart so full of emotions, so overwhelmed by beauty. Unable to put into words this storm that bursts upon you. Clear as a bell, the silence is filled with sound. Over and over again. It is this one special tone sequence that you have deeply in your heart closed. Which will now be quieter and quieter. And finally completely ebbed. She lets you back, full of memories, dreams, feelings. It’s been quiet for a long time, but inside it it sounds, clear as a bell and pure. The original text is in German,found here : Eine Kiste voller Worte I don't think you can describe it any better ... PS : For all who love Pink Floyd "Sorrow" ... watch my new version !
Here in England,Pink Floyds music is used in nursing homes to pacify,engage or just plain enjoyment of life,and you know what,it works. Floyd are not of this world. (Thats England to the rest of you,lol)
I've seen many Pink Floyd reaction videos but you two are a genuine pleasure to watch! You should do 'On the turning away' it's probably one of my favorites by them.
I hope nobody in the comments gives anything away about the Nightwish cover. Lets just say it should be interesting.This is a beautiful song and perhaps the best track on the Division bell album. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the NW version.
Without sounding like a broken record the Pink Floyd live at Pulse version or the David Gilmour live in New York in 2016 versions of High Hopes are both very special and take the song to another level
Great, the words you found about the way we going with life and death. I am now 58, and i became with 23, 1986 a diagnosis, we all know the time of hiv. It was very hard, and many years i was depressive, then 1996 i learned a girl knowing. We still together. With her i learned was love is. And how precious the life is. Pink Floyd was everytime in my life, with 17, and also now. It is really so, that much songs from PF move me so. The life is so beautiful, i learned it with the years with my wife. I wish you the best, stay healthy in this time of a new time of sickness and illness and death. My father dieying on 26.12. on covid in hospital with 87. But, the life is beautiful still, and it will ever be. At last, sorry for my english, i am from austria, vienna, and i learned english only two years in the school. Go on with your work here on YT with your wife, i can see you both are good for the otherone, like me and my wife are. Stay healthy. ;-)
Hi, sunshine :) Sorry about the loss in your life and for your troubles. I am happy to know that you have made your way out of the dark times and into brighter days with yourself and meeting your lovely wife! Thank you for your kind words. Sending you love ♥
Ah, High Hopes, what an amazing song! I consider myself very luck and it is sometimes still hard to believe that I witnessed both original High Hopes and Nightwish cover performed live at Pink Floyd and Nightwish concerts! I grew up listening to Pink Floyd because my dad loves them so they enchanted me since I was very young. When I was 18 in 1994 dad took me to a Division Bell tour concert in Udine, Italy. It was out of body experience, still best concert of my life, that tour is just something unmatched in the world of music. Later in 2000 I discovered and fell in love with Nightwish. I introduced my father to them bit later and he fell in love immediately so I took him to a Nightwish concert in Munich, Germany in 2004, 1000km away from where we live in Croatia, and that was the tour, last with Tarja, when their cover of High Hopes was performed. Guess I returned him a favor for Pink Floyd, things really came full circle then :) But of course not only my father, even my mom went and my sis and her 5 years old daughter, I infected the entire family with Nightwish :) Can't wait to see your reaction to Nightwish version :)
@@AleksandarGospic Indeed it was. I saw them in New Orleans, at the Superdome. The acoustics kind of sucked, but the solo on Comfortably Numb was one of my favorite versions he did, next to the one on Delicate Sound of Thunder. You can find the audio on here somewhere. It's top notch, he improvised quite a bit on it too.
For interest, the 'Division Bell' comes from UK Parliament when after all the discussion is finished (or run out of time) the speaker calls for a Division - ie MPs must now vote yes or no on the motion. At this point the Division Bell is rung and heard thoughout the building and neighboring MP offices. It is then time to stop deliberating and make your mind up. In the song, I believe it refers to times when you have to make decisions to go one way or the other.
I'm 64 years old. Or young. I have been listening to pink floyd all of my life but never listened to them like I do now. This is quickly becoming my favorite.
Hi guys. This video is going to help alot. Because I love pink floyd. But also I found out today that my uncle died. On Thursday he fell 18 meters. He worked with elevators and he fell 18 metres. (60ft). Anyways I think its 60ft. I'm from Europe and we measure in meters. So thanks. I'm just saying. You dont need to reply if you dont want to because I'm writing to you just to let you know.
"High Hopes" of Pink Floyd gives me the opportunity being with my thoughts and feelings while listening to every part of the music & lyrics, where Nightwish´s version is something what my metal heart is longing for, very enjoyable and powerful.
I adore this track, so much emotion in it. If I had to pick my favourite version it would have to be the Live in Gdańsk performance on Dave’s solo tour. The addition of the orchestra & Dave’s closing solo with the acoustic, where he fades out with Richard Wright on the keyboard, fills me up every time I watch it...Just my opinion.
Love your reactions, thank you so much! Love both Pink Floyd and Nightwish as well. I have the same experience that Nightwish's music has helped me to cope with the awareness of slowly approaching death, now that I have just passed that crucial turning point in my own life. I feel calm when I imagine myself finally embracing the universe by decaying and merging with it. Listen to Endlessness from the Human :II: Nature album by Marco. It is so incredibly beautiful, powerful and soothing.
I'm just back to you guys after all these years, and now I'm ready for a second part of my life. And I can't help myself... I just cry on pink Floyd track once again. With you...
This vid was filmed near Cambridge . Apparently getting the head profiles into the middle of a muddy field for the album cover shot was a total nightmare.
At the British Parliament, during debates in the chamber, a bell rung to summon members of a deliberative body when a vote is to be taken. That bell was called (The division bell), pretty sure you understand why.
Given what the song is about (Syd), I think it worth mentioning the NW version is from the End of an Era show. Hours after this was recorded Tarja was handed her letter. i think the feeling that persists is... the band knew what was coming, you can see it in their faces, hear it in Marco's voice. They were on fire in this song, because they had no idea what the future was... jus that there was an ending.
I love so much to see her so emotional, she´s so beautyful ......a pure soul thanks for sharing this. I love also she has decide to be with a Rock n Roll guy together like you are....it shows she is very a cool person, and you too.. you´re both ;)
I grew up with Pink Floyd. For me music that you experienced intensely. There were many masterpieces of theirs. Nowadays I also experience this with Nightwish. Coincidentally, I saw your reaction from Shoemaker from Nightwish again. For me that is also pure experience of what music is. There is no point in comparing. Experience them both and project them in their own time setting. I experience the same thing I once did with Pink Floyd. Pure emotions. Thank you for your emotions ⚘ 
I always thought this song was like a meaning of life as you grow thru to adulthood.. Everyone's life is different and I'm sure this song has a different meaning to each one.. David's voice combined with his musical genius on guitar is phenomenal..
"Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times" Thats my Line in this epic Masterpiece ... been so conected to this
Awesome beginning to your double reaction.The line in the song's chorus The Endless River ' is title of the last studio album withRIP Richard Wright famed PF keyboardist. I've seen Nightwishes cover and boy the did it justice,but they just can't epitomise the soul of DG on that Steele slide guitar. Would love for you two to react to PInk Floyd's Louder Than Words, its sad and magical at the same time !
Great choice - it's difficult to decide if this is Floyd's best song, or Comfortably Numb. It's a treasure, and the live Pulse version is also amazing. As one other reactor said, "You just played with your friends for the last time, and didn't know it"
Great video does not look dated very vivid in its colors. I don not think I Have ever seen it before. I have heard the song by both nightwish and Pink Floyd. Great depth and reaction to this video. Cannot wait until you hear and see the nightwish version. Ke up the greatness.
I believe the actual division bell is in Britain's Parliament and has to do with some kind of parliamentary vote. But yes, there is an actual "division bell."
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that Followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire any ambition There’s a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we’ve been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever. Not sure if you two or anyone else in here have ever heard of these two musicians called "2Cellos" but they are awesome. When I first heard of them, I never thought that what they did with cellos, to ever be possible and there's even concerts they've done on youtube you can check out too. For example: 2Cellos - Live at Arena Pula in Croatia (2013) Link: ruclips.net/video/Sk5zxA9UP2Q/видео.html Don't be fooled these guys can really rock it out with Cellos and have done covers of many talents! The crowds they've drawn in their concerts are are huge!
This song is a look back to the bands beginning in the university city of Cambridge , river cam , meeting by the cut , in a world of magnets and miracles . Its the last song on the last studio album and its very special to me .Been a Floyd fan since 1973 when my dad bought me Meddle which has Echoes on it , and been hooked ever since . Been to Cambridge several times and been in the same room as Syd Barrett i was shaking . Thanks for the reaction
Thanks it was a nice video. I dont know which album it is, but NightWish has a hidden track with a really interesting version of On the turning away that i enjoy a lot.
Dave Gilmours solo is WELL worth watching. " live at Pompeii" he use "the Black Strat" ( sold for 3.9 million without the Hendrix guitar strap). solo: " on any tongue" ' rattle that lock' 'on an island" 99% of Daves lyrics are by his wife Polly. 2 solo's and some of P.F. last 2 albums
Crazy, I was just re-listening to this album a few weeks ago, after many many years without listening to it... This album is so intense to me that I can't hear it very often, maybe once in 2 years I will do it, really weird to explain... One of the first albums I listened to as a kid in a VHS tape lying around the house, lots of intense emotions associated with it. Rick Wright my favorite member after Syd of course. Astronomy Domine has got to be my top 3 guitar performances ever, the sheer raw power of the performance, the recording quality, the timelessness of it, the distortion, everything is so perfect about that song and the guitar itself. Overlooked guitar player for sure.
Coming Back To Life's intro was probably the first song I ever played air guitar to as a kid 7 years old, powerful stuff. But as an adult I couldn't ever learn the guitar xDDDD Just can't make myself sit down to practice it
I always think of Roger Waters when I see that guy that's leaning on the car and watching (place where he lived once?); like there is some symbolism here for sure
to add context. THEY like me well educated at an English public school and grew up in the home counties. This is there and my experience. to truly understand you would need this background. that BELL is exactly what I recall from my public school.
This was a great reaction all around! Gotta bring back more Pink Floyd into your rotation. You two are great to watch. That instrumental version of Comfortably Numb I assume is phenomenal and should be a companion piece to the original in some capacity. Is there a place I might find a copy?
I believe it is on the expanded re issue of The Wall or there is a version of the guitar part anyway. It was a rejected yes rejected guitar part that David wrote during the sessions of his solo album About Face (1978) because he couldn't find a use for it. About Face was released the year before The Wall. Roger Waters wrote the lyrics for Comfortably Numb but didn't know how to arrange it or finish it....David remembered his rejected guitar part and played it to Roger. An immortal classic was born. Makes you wonder what other brilliant unused guitar solos by David Gilmour are on old multi track tapes laying around.
You're thinking of Gilmour's original demo which is him humming/scat singing the melody which became the chorus of the song. The guitar in the demo is just him strumming the chord progression with heavy flange and chorus effects tacked on. It's been floating around on bootlegs for years and finally released on the Immersion box for The Wall and written for his self-titled album in '78. About Face came out in '84. The instrumental background here is something entirely different.
Saludos desde Chile......soy amante de Pink Floyd......y es muy grato ver sus reacciones y conocerles.....les recomiendo también que conozcan a "Los Jaivas"....de Chile y el tema "La Poderosa Muerte"....video original.....ésto es rock andino
I choose to die alone in the woods but Pink Floyd's music will be holding me when I go home. For a brief time to reflect only to return to fulfill my ongoing mission asked of me. 🤟
I love your reactions to music so much. There's a song that I adore to no end that I hope that you'll find the time to listen to. Vincent by Don Mclean, its a very beautiful, sorrow filled and immensely touching song written about Vincent Van Gogh. A fun fact about the song is that that the Legendary Artist Tupac Shakur also loved this song. He loved it so much so that when he was in the hospital in his final moments, it was the last song played for him. Vincent has pulled so many tears from me that I can't count. I truely hope you get the chance to enjoy it. Much love.
Pink Floyd-the best band in the history of Music.Every album is like a journey into a different segment of life. Sometimes these journeys can be joyful and simply entertaining but mostly they are painful,full of nostalgia,strangely romantic and dangerous for a listener who is not prepared to digest this music properly.Great band. And Syd? A beautiful,tragic legend.

Division Bell is an incredibly underrated Pink Floyd and High Hopes is its crown jewel
It was massive, definitely not underrated by anyone with ears 👂
Division Bell is my favorite one
@@onechopbuddy3849 I hear you! 😄
Agreed
I don't remember where exactly I heard this but I read once that David Gilmour previous to joining Pink Floyd went through a period working as a male model (photography? advertisements?) and also went through a period being homeless? Is that true? I wish we could hear more about this period of his life, sounds intriguing at least. Hearing more about the events that lead to these things happening.
No matter how good or bad I feel, High Hopes consistently breaks my heart.
Couldn't possibly agree more
Everyone love's roger but seriously who would pink floyd be without davids guitar playing
i just told that to my GF today... actually landed here showing her Gilmours magic... Oh man the performance in pompei when he plays coming back to life... and the solo of comfortably numb in Gdanks
Unfortunately Roger thought HE was Pink Floyd.

@@mikefraser4513 ya hes still crying that PF didn't break up when he left
@@mikefraser4513 I can take Pink Floyd without Roger, with all the respect that I have for him. But PF without David ? Impossible.
High Hopes is one of my favourite songs by Pink Floyd, and the solo at the end is one of the most beautiful and saddest pieces of music
From a dimension in which art consists of sound.
Clear as a bell the silence is filled with sound. Over and over again. It is this one particular tone sequence that you have deeply in your heart. Which alone is enough to awaken indescribable memories and feelings. You lean back and start to smile.
The singing. Your gaze lowers, your breath becomes deeper. You will notice how your heart throbs faster and your skin is shaken by shivering. You close your eyes and listen to the music.

This very special rhythm that lets you sink first, just to get you out of here and lets you gasp.
The acoustic guitar. Their reef seems so simple. And yet it goes so deeply. So wonderful sounds. Let you float in other spheres. Before your eyes arise images, whole worlds, in which you want to sink forever, which carry you far out. In another dimension, where art consists of sound. The more and more intense, the more and more builds up. A crescendo of sound and feeling.
The bells release you. There is now peace in you. You listen to the steady sound of the bells, the voice, the rhythm. Lets you wear again. Higher and higher. Again a new crescendo.
The Solo. Deep cuts the guitar into your core. Your breath stops. You can not think of anything, just feel the beauty of these sounds. Unable to do anything. Sit there. Very quiet, eyes closed. The heart so full of emotions, so overwhelmed by beauty. Unable to put into words this storm that bursts upon you.
Clear as a bell, the silence is filled with sound. Over and over again. It is this one special tone sequence that you have deeply in your heart closed. Which will now be quieter and quieter. And finally completely ebbed. She lets you back, full of memories, dreams, feelings. It’s been quiet for a long time, but inside it it sounds, clear as a bell and pure.

PS : For all who love Pink Floyd "Sorrow" ... watch my new version !
Here in England,Pink Floyds music is used in nursing homes to pacify,engage or just plain enjoyment of life,and you know what,it works.
Floyd are not of this world.
(Thats England to the rest of you,lol)
Also, get goose bumps when the guitar answers the orchestra, call and response, over the end
Get on the Pink Floyd express and take a ride. Always good!
Love her emotions, she really gets Pink Floyd. The songs are all about connecting on your emotions. They take your mind into another dimension.
I love this song in both incarnations so much. High Hopes is my favorite post-Waters Floyd song.
I've seen many Pink Floyd reaction videos but you two are a genuine pleasure to watch! You should do 'On the turning away' it's probably one of my favorites by them.
I'm eagerly waiting the Nightwish's cover to this. It's excellent. ⛄👍
*facts*
#metoo
I was gonna write this
Maybe im harsh, but the finnish accent in his singing ruins it a bit for me.
@@anderspettersson9885 Swedish accent would be much much worse. 😉
High hopes gives me WICKED existential crisis over my own mortality
Can't wait to hear Wolf's opinion on Emppu's guitar work! :)
I hope nobody in the comments gives anything away about the Nightwish cover. Lets just say it should be interesting.This is a beautiful song and perhaps the best track on the Division bell album.
Hope we don't have to wait too long for the NW version.
Should be up by Friday ✊🤘
Without sounding like a broken record the Pink Floyd live at Pulse version or the David Gilmour live in New York in 2016 versions of High Hopes are both very special and take the song to another level
I became fluent in the language of guitar after listening to one David solo
I love both versions but if I had to choose, I'd go with Pink Floyd and David Gilmour's mellow voice and the lap guitar solo which I love.
This song tears at my heart even after 28 years. It's the pain that comes out of joy. My heart is so full it might burst. Thanks for a good video.
The live version of this at the Royal Albert Hall is Really Amazing.
It‘s the best live version in my opinion ✌️😎
High hopes will remain my favorite Pink Floyd song of all time
Great, the words you found about the way we going with life and death. I am now 58, and i became with 23, 1986 a diagnosis, we all know the time of hiv. It was very hard, and many years i was depressive, then 1996 i learned a girl knowing. We still together. With her i learned was love is. And how precious the life is.

I can't feel sad when I listen it, it seems to me Gilmour is an optimistic man.
is a song what sometines mades cry, sometimes makes comfortably, the geniality of the song and history and voice of gilmour MY GOD

There is no point in comparing. Experience them both and project them in their own time setting. I experience the same thing I once did with Pink Floyd. Pure emotions. Thank you for your emotions ⚘

"High hopes" and "A great day for freedom" were my favourite songs from the Division Bell album. "Lost for words" included..
I always thought this song was like a meaning of life as you grow thru to adulthood.. Everyone's life is different and I'm sure this song has a different meaning to each one.. David's voice combined with his musical genius on guitar is phenomenal..
2 of my favorite bands as well! Got my coffee, buckled up, and excited to see you two listen to both beautiful versions
Coming Back to Life is a brilliant track to!
"Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times"
Thats my Line in this epic Masterpiece ...
been so conected to this
I love you both
Welcome back guys,,pls do more pink floyd again
Awesome beginning to your double reaction.The line in the song's chorus The Endless River ' is title of the last studio album withRIP Richard Wright famed PF keyboardist. I've seen Nightwishes cover and boy the did it justice,but they just can't epitomise the soul of DG on that Steele slide guitar. Would love for you two to react to PInk Floyd's Louder Than Words, its sad and magical at the same time !
Beautiful reaction to the original video, so welcome to your senses....greets from germany !
I love to see the first timers’ faces when the solos commence.
So Nightwish played their version at the last concert of Tarja-era.. First time I realize that connection. Thanks for that. 👍
Great choice - it's difficult to decide if this is Floyd's best song, or Comfortably Numb. It's a treasure, and the live Pulse version is also amazing. As one other reactor said, "You just played with your friends for the last time, and didn't know it"
Great video does not look dated very vivid in its colors. I don not think I Have ever seen it before. I have heard the song by both nightwish and Pink Floyd. Great depth and reaction to this video. Cannot wait until you hear and see the nightwish version. Ke up the greatness.
One of my favorite Floyd songs. Especially on the Pulse concert DVD. Half Life Sistah is a beautiful soul!😄😄👍👍🤟🤟💥
I believe the actual division bell is in Britain's Parliament and has to do with some kind of parliamentary vote. But yes, there is an actual "division bell."
Love your reactions guys!
Coming back to life guys
Nightwish together please
The relationship with death changes, too, as we learn to view death as a friend inviting us to relish the life we have lived and live today.
Listening to Pink Floyd since 1973 , this is ART .
I when to see Pink Floyd live and was a great experience
That's an understatement ! Saw them twice and to this day i believe it was the greatest show on earth
The music is undoubtedly beautiful, but even this video is fantastic!
Holy shit, i love this
Well, you are gonna be surprised with Nightwish I think :)
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that Followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire any ambition
There’s a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we’ve been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever.
Not sure if you two or anyone else in here have ever heard of these two musicians called "2Cellos" but they are awesome.
When I first heard of them, I never thought that what they did with cellos, to ever be possible and there's even concerts they've done on youtube you can check out too.
For example:
2Cellos - Live at Arena Pula in Croatia (2013)

Don't be fooled these guys can really rock it out with Cellos and have done covers of many talents!
The crowds they've drawn in their concerts are are huge!
So Wolf, do you think she could survive "Sorrow"? It's a pretty intense song both lyrically and phonetically.
Pulse high hopes and sorrow
This song is a look back to the bands beginning in the university city of Cambridge , river cam , meeting by the cut , in a world of magnets and miracles . Its the last song on the last studio album and its very special to me .Been a Floyd fan since 1973 when my dad bought me Meddle which has Echoes on it , and been hooked ever since . Been to Cambridge several times and been in the same room as Syd Barrett i was shaking . Thanks for the reaction
High Hopes always takes my absolute breath away and I was raised in the back of a Pinto by THE WALL
Alright... pause one sec... lets put this one on the big hifi installation
Thanks it was a nice video.
I dont know which album it is, but NightWish has a hidden track with a really interesting version of On the turning away that i enjoy a lot.
Dave Gilmours solo is WELL worth watching. " live at Pompeii" he use "the Black Strat" ( sold for 3.9 million without the Hendrix guitar strap). solo: " on any tongue" ' rattle that lock' 'on an island" 99% of Daves lyrics are by his wife Polly. 2 solo's and some of P.F. last 2 albums
The entire Division Bell album is so underrated. My 2nd favorite just behind Wish You Were Here.
My band since 1967 and for ever till today i am 74 🤩
Nice little David Gilmour overlay you did on that ceramic bust. Sweet. :)
Except hat the bust and overlay were a tribute to Syd Barrett.
Oh, she is so gorgeous!
Luscky man!
Keep her and love her :3
Awe, thank you >.< ♥
Crazy, I was just re-listening to this album a few weeks ago, after many many years without listening to it... This album is so intense to me that I can't hear it very often, maybe once in 2 years I will do it, really weird to explain... One of the first albums I listened to as a kid in a VHS tape lying around the house, lots of intense emotions associated with it. Rick Wright my favorite member after Syd of course. Astronomy Domine has got to be my top 3 guitar performances ever, the sheer raw power of the performance, the recording quality, the timelessness of it, the distortion, everything is so perfect about that song and the guitar itself. Overlooked guitar player for sure.
Coming Back To Life's intro was probably the first song I ever played air guitar to as a kid 7 years old, powerful stuff. But as an adult I couldn't ever learn the guitar xDDDD Just can't make myself sit down to practice it
Part 2: Nightwish - High Hopes Live End of an Era Pink Floyd Cover REACTION: ruclips.net/video/Rz7IG_GBvTs/видео.html
Magical music from a magical band
I always think of Roger Waters when I see that guy that's leaning on the car and watching (place where he lived once?); like there is some symbolism here for sure
filmed in and around Cambridge where they grew up
@@Ashley4029 Also Ely and nearby Wichford Aerodrome.
Love your description of this master piece. You're right on..
Another masterpiece of Floyd!👍
to add context. THEY like me well educated at an English public school and grew up in the home counties. This is there and my experience. to truly understand you would need this background. that BELL is exactly what I recall from my public school.
This was a great reaction all around! Gotta bring back more Pink Floyd into your rotation. You two are great to watch.
That instrumental version of Comfortably Numb I assume is phenomenal and should be a companion piece to the original in some capacity. Is there a place I might find a copy?
I believe it is on the expanded re issue of The Wall or there is a version of the guitar part anyway. It was a rejected yes rejected guitar part that David wrote during the sessions of his solo album About Face (1978) because he couldn't find a use for it. About Face was released the year before The Wall. Roger Waters wrote the lyrics for Comfortably Numb but didn't know how to arrange it or finish it....David remembered his rejected guitar part and played it to Roger. An immortal classic was born. Makes you wonder what other brilliant unused guitar solos by David Gilmour are on old multi track tapes laying around.
You're thinking of Gilmour's original demo which is him humming/scat singing the melody which became the chorus of the song. The guitar in the demo is just him strumming the chord progression with heavy flange and chorus effects tacked on. It's been floating around on bootlegs for years and finally released on the Immersion box for The Wall and written for his self-titled album in '78. About Face came out in '84. The instrumental background here is something entirely different.
What a great reaction video to one my favorite songs from my favorite band, Pink Floyd.
Saludos desde Chile......soy amante de Pink Floyd......y es muy grato ver sus reacciones y conocerles.....les recomiendo también que conozcan a "Los Jaivas"....de Chile y el tema "La Poderosa Muerte"....video original.....ésto es rock andino
Gracias y espero que sigan prograsando con su canal de reacciones....y espero su reacción a mi pedido de LOS JAIVAS.....LA PODEROSA MUERTE......
another version of this , inside Abbey Roads studio with about 20 people and a surprise acoustic solo at the end.
I choose to die alone in the woods but Pink Floyd's music will be holding me when I go home. For a brief time to reflect only to return to fulfill my ongoing mission asked of me. 🤟
I love your reactions to music so much.
There's a song that I adore to no end that I hope that you'll find the time to listen to.
Vincent by Don Mclean, its a very beautiful, sorrow filled and immensely touching song written about Vincent Van Gogh. A fun fact about the song is that that the Legendary Artist Tupac Shakur also loved this song. He loved it so much so that when he was in the hospital in his final moments, it was the last song played for him.
Vincent has pulled so many tears from me that I can't count. I truely hope you get the chance to enjoy it.
Much love.
Ez egy csodás dal. Örökkön örökké... ❤🙏❤This is a wonderful song. Forever and ever...
Pink Floyd-the best band in the history of Music.Every album is like a journey into a different segment of life. Sometimes these journeys can be joyful and simply entertaining but mostly they are painful,full of nostalgia,strangely romantic and dangerous for a listener who is not prepared to digest this music properly.Great band. And Syd? A beautiful,tragic legend.
legend
pink floyd's pulls at ur heartstrings
