This is THE definition of the Ultimate Concert Experience! So many individual elements executed perfectly together to become the end result and experience...and to do this for a whole tour...lucky whoever got to experience this in person! And their final tour on top of everything else! Thanks so much for watching with me. Don't forget to subscribe for much more Pink Floyd in the future! 🥰
I was there - in the US. Best. Concert. Ever. (And went to quite a few back in the day 😂). Lightning crew: “What’s our budget? Pink Floyd: YES! 💥
Sweeeeet! Haha so true...
@@lynnhoffman247 VERY true! Looking at the cost of that tour and what they earned even on top of that, it's almost obscene.
Imagine how much they'd earn if they toured this year! I've seen a recent Roger interview, so I think I have my answer...
@@yanceynitzsche5115 💰💵💰💵💰 🤣👍🏼
I *think* we paid around $100 on each ticket, but
we had VIP seats about 20 rows center aisle from the stage.
Great night…not so much a great date, LOL 😂
I can still FEEL this song. Perfect in all of its parts! One of the best songs I’ve ever heard,!
Pink Floyd are a British national treasure . Legendary
I absolutely love this Song!! And your facial expressions are priceless beautiful wow what an extraordinary song !!
Yes, Pink Floyd is such an amazing band I'm finding out. Thanks for watching my dearest :)
What an AMAZING concert that was!!! I saw them in Toronto the summer of that year!!! Absolutely mind-blowing!!!
I also saw them in 1987 in Ottawa, Canada. These guys sure knew how to put on an incredible show!!! ❤
Great reaction to this classic!!! I saw Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio with 47,000 fans!! And yes, they played the entire Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish in the second set of the show! An experience of a lifetime!!!!
So lucky! Thanks for watching.
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.
Completely! And they are a weekly staple on my channel! Thanks Neal..
Its well worth watching all the pulse show and remember this wasnt the last song
I've rocked out to this video at least 100 times. Now it's 101. It never gets old.❤
Woohoo! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
@@retroreactions.... you're welcome
Those spinning lights you're seeing are actually spinning Leslie speakers! It may be something more advanced than a spinning Leslie speaker someone corrected me earlier but the spinning speakers gives the music a more three-dimensional sound! When Pink Floyd sets up their sound system for a concert they make sure that the sound you hear is like you're inside the speakers! You will never hear a more complete unbelievably perfect Soundsystem then at a Pink Floyd concert live! I know that because I've seen them four different times in three different decades and I've seen about 100 concerts from AC DC Led Zeppelin and everyone in between alphabetically and never seen a better show than Pink Floyd puts on!
Wow, yet another element that is next level compared to everyone else! They really went out with a bang in terms of a tour as the complete band!
The way I understand it is that the sound system produced a total of 232,000 watts...absolutely astounding! Thanks for the tidbit about the spinning lights...as many times as I've watched Pulse, I never even noticed the speakers in there...
Same here!
I have to agree. I'm extremely picky when it comes to the sound of my music. Seen very close to the same number of concerts over the yrs. Seen Floyd their last 3 tours. Each got better than the last. Sound was crystal clear loudness and you wanted more.
I agree. I seen them 4 times and have attended well over 200 concerts, and just like you, I have seen all of the greats, and no one puts on a better show, the lights, the sound, it just takes you to a special place, unlike anything else. You can try to tell people about how amazing it is, but until someone actually experiences a live show, they wont be able to fully appreciate just how great it is.
THIS is why so many of us of "a certain age" have a hard time relating to most of what passes for music today! We kinda got spoiled by this.....we have very high expectations!
Yes! It can't even compare....
The Pulse Tour was far ahead of its time. Nobody had previously pulled off anything like this in terms of sound engineering and the light show, which was computerized (unheard of before!) And as far as I can tell, even more than a quarter of a century later, nobody has ever since pulled anything off that would be comparable. A performance of a lifetime that has its place in music history! And the second solo of Comfortably Numb is probably the best guitar solo ever played on this planet!
Always carving their own path in many different ways...
Agreed, although Genesis may have come close on When in Rome. Still, Pulse is the gold standard for total concert experience!
When they toured Dark Side of The Moon they had a quad sound system a first.
The fact that it hasn’t been duplicated since means, to me, that it wasn’t “ahead of its time” but squarely, and uniquely, in its own time.
I remember the first time I saw this. So awesome.❤
Pink Floyd's sound is timeless. You can feel their music. Hard to explain. But you get it!!
Time as we know it truly stops when you put on their music and close your eyes!
Having been a PF fan pretty much since they started, and been to many concerts, this one twice, there absolutely no group better to hear live! Honestly blown away to point actually felt this music for days! Not even exaggerating! Watching young ones react takes me back every time! No band better IMO!
That's awesome! You inspired me to look up the '94 tour dates and they played 20 minutes from where I live! And I was already going to concerts during that year! If only.....Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!
@@retroreactions.... I had the chance to see them for this tour in Bordeaux, France, I was 18, the best concert ever...
I couldn't believe I was seeing them, I was a fan since I was around 12, and thought it was a band "from the past", that I was not born at the right time, and then. Bam. They toured at my 18... My only regret is to not have seen them when they were with Waters, as I tend to less appreciate what they did after The Wall.
Lucky! And to think they came on this tour to a stadium just 20 minutes from where I live and I was 19 and already attending concerts! Kicking myself now......
I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Greatest reaction, thank you!
Thanks so much Brian, hope the energy wasn't too low...
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. 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, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
Wow, one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard! What an unforgettable night you had, and David sounds like an amazing, down to earth and generous guy!!
Try One Of These Days from the same concert. lights, explosions, giant boars heads with laser light eyes utterly unbelievable.
I can remember when all the Pink Floyd albums came out.
No matter how many times I see this it just leaves me breathless.
Just like their albums!
Went to 6 nights at Earls Court. Best gigs Ive ever attended and Ive been going to gigs since the mid 60s,
That's the general consensus here! Lucky you... thanks so much for watching.
The lighter is such a nice touch 👏
Ha thanks bud...was trying to do it like in the old days before cell phones....even thought I film on a cell phone LOL
I saw the Pulse concert in Gothenburg, Sweden, and it remains the most mind-blowing stage presentation I've ever witnessed. Every other concert before or since has seemed tiny by comparison.
This part of the floyds 14 night residency at the 19,000 capacity earls court (the only arena on the tour...the rest were stadiums).
Thank you for making the effort to find the correct 4:3 ratio version that shows all the effects with no cropping. ;-]
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
There are no words… ❤🥰🙏
Thanks for all your support Norah! 😊
@@retroreactions.... Your most welcome& I am enjoying every moment of it.
Your journey is just starting, there are so many other bands that you have to explore 👍😊
🥰 I loved this concert! 🤭Worth the trip to NJ! 🤔 And missing getting floor tickets to Prince at MSG for the Love Sexy Tour, but at least we weren't in nosebleed. 🤯 Still can't believe I was blessed to see this phenomenal show for free. 😉Shout Out to God working in mysterious ways! The Planets were aligned right that day I tell you! 😚 And I still want a giant Glitter Ball Object de Art for my Living Room.... 🙄 still... 😆🐰
That's awesome!
There is actually a longer version of this song from the Pulse concert where Gilmour’s solo is 1:50 min longer but it was cut for the album. I’ve heard two reasons why it was cut, one us that it had to fit the CD, another is that Gilmour played a note wrong and did not want it inti the DVD. Still in my view. The longer solo make sense…
Wow, can't imagine Dave making a mistake, but he's human like the rest of us...
Took my wife to the El Paso concert... it was her 1st concert lol!
I hope you won the Best Husband of the Year Award 1994 hehe....
Acoustic. Yup. Listen carefully and you'll hear it ringing in the background providing some excellent fill! Nothing is wasted or overused in this song.
Hi ! LoL In 1994 my girlfriend and i went to the Montreal Olympic Stadium ! Pulse was a great live Concert ! we were standing on the ground were we had lots of space around us and had a great view ! another memory i cherrish !
Amazing! Both of you very lucky... I'm guessing you were screaming and clapping a lot haha....
@@retroreactions.... no ! lol ! when i go to a concert i m always comfortably numb !😜
Haha...
"Sorrow".....also from the Pulse Live concert....MUST WATCH!
Definitely high on the list! Thanks Morgan
That guitar part you liked during the second solo; many people refer to that as the ‘waving part’, maybe because Gilmour waves the guitar around whilst he’s doing it, maybe because, as you said, the sound he creates almost comes at you in waves. In guitar lexicon though, those are ‘divebombs’. Basically you use the whammy bar to quickly lower the pitch of the note your playing (and in this case, bring the note back up again). So called because it’s supposed to be reminiscent of a bomb dropping. It’s a common technique, pioneered by Hendrix. Gilmour uses it in an especially emotive way. The pitch he’s playing it at makes it more reminiscent of a person’s scream, which I think is the point, given the context and themes of Comfortably Numb.
Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ has some fantastic divebombs in it, for a really good example of when they’re used.
Thanks for explaining it in detail for me and for watching!
Nice reaction to one of the greatest slow hand guitarist in prog. Now it's time for the greatest prog band ever Yes and a song called Roundabout🙏🍁
Thanks Les! Yes is definitely on my list.... several songs including Roundabout of course...
@retroreactions.... Yes has 8 symphonic masterpieces of 18mins or more,I suggest a seatbelt for those. Enjoy the Yes journey, it's been 51yrs for me and 36 live shows.🙏🍁
So your Yes is my Depeche Mode it sounds like! 8 of them? Those are what I want to hear!! Sounds amazing.. :)
@retroreactions.... Close To The Edge was the first in 72 on the album of the same name with 2 tunes on side 2 that are outstanding.
Great, would love to know the the titles so I can add to my list..
The guitar solo is well known as one of the best of all time. I saw Pink Floyd 11 times on the Pulse tour and each night the solo was different. The structure was basically similar but there were nuances that made each night different. I wouldn't trade those 11 nights for anything.
11?! Wow! Really nice that he changed it up a bit, not only for himself, but for the audience, especially those who attended multiple nights...
Still the BEST EVER Concert experience I have in Tampa 94 even top it up the 89 DST Tour in Vienna experience.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
The light show looks futuristic by today’s (2023) standards, yet this concert took place almost 30 years ago in 1994. Just another example of Pink Floyd being ahead of their time.
No doubt that no one else has replicated it at that level...
Don't say it was 30 years ago please. I was just 18, I was, I mean, I am young !
Great times! I was 19, and I'm still "young" too!
I saw Floyd during this tour in Dallas TX at the old Cowboys stadium. It was an awesome experience! So glad I was able to see these legends before they retired.😊
Lucky!!! Best tour ever I'm sure..
On certain shots, I can pick out a little black spot among all the other little black spots which I know is my head. One of the best nights of my life.
HAHA...I'm not jealous or anything :)
😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert 1990 ) 🎸🎶🎶
Top five guitar solos.......immortal!
Yes. Richard Wright is amazing.
What amazes me is 🤗not 1 phone in the air! 😒 Its not like we didn't have Polaroids we could have used but that wasn't a thing back then. You took pics if you got backstage to meet the band in those days! 😌🐰
Yes, times have sure changed...
A commenter on another channel stated he was at this concert. He said he was crying, and a girl sitting next to him fell to the floor overcome with emotion. I saw them live in the late 80’s but missed this tour. DAMN. Don’t know what I was thinking.
We all make mistakes in life.... like me not listening to their catalog until 2023!
@@retroreactions.... I know, right? What were you thinking? 😉
The Pink Floyd section of my brain was on a longgggggg vacation!
There were also three female vocalists who added allot to the mix.
I have read that the pull on the electric grid was greater than any concert before or since…..huge.
The other stats for this tour are equally impressive…almost 200 worked on the tour….three teams of roadies and technicians to set up and tear down who leap-frogged each other on the road.
Yes, noticed and heard the 3 lovely female singers as well...What a mammoth tour, like no other in history I'm sure!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome 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 froged 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. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed.
Great information.. the tour stats are insane, but they sure pulled it off!
The stank-face when that guitar solo reaches its climax is involuntary, and I love that lol. My only regret about attending this show is that I peaked early; nothing since has come close to the sheer majesty of this concert. At our outdoor venue, the crystal ball/flower was mounted closer to the stage, but it was no less an out-of-body experience when that whole segment unfolded...pun intended. The entire show is a must-watch as you mentioned, but if I may recommend two others: "Sorrow" and "Run Like Hell", the latter of which was the final encore and they went a little nuts with it.
Haha yea, they evoke lots of facial expressions! So cool to be there at any age! Thanks for the suggestions. Can't imagine them going more nuts than this one....will definitely have to watch it all :)
@@retroreactions.... Truly enjoying the journey, and hope you get the oft-reported "Pulse bump" in subs. Your channel deserves rapid and steady growth. Namaste!
@@retroreactions.... Both of those are excellent suggestions. Sorrow is another majestic one. Run Like Hell smokes!
Thanks my friend! Still suffering from the huge RUclips glitch from earlier this week, but some of these bands have def served my channel well!
Sorrow is from the 80's right? Can't wait to hear 80s and 90s Floyd!
saw this 5 times. outdoor needed FAA clearance for lasers, 14 days in a row sold out. 200,000 watts of power ( used in final song " run like hell". 128 wireless speakers, 200 ton stage. Disco ball is a FU to critics who said no future cause they don't play dance music. Greg Phillinganes ( M.J.music director said that they perform at a level above every). One thing leaving the concerts was people faces stunned what they just experience. Lighting dir. Mark Brinkman started with Floyd with the WALL. David Gilmour "live at Pompeii" last time at 70yrs old playing 'Com. Numb" 26 million views
Nice, thanks for all the great information Jc 524! 5 times huh, that's my style! I know it was all worth every penny every time!
I was there.
I’m still coming down.
Since you were there, you will never fully come down......😊
I saw that concert in Montpellier in France and it was the best concert ever...
You're talking about Depeche Mode often, I also saw the Devotional Tour... That wasn't like Pink Floyd but I really loved it (Blasphemous Rumors is my favorite song from them)...
Your reaction is so interesting, complete, you don't miss a thing... You love music, we can feel it, and the way you talk about it makes you special. Thanks for your beautiful channel, you're a nice person. Love from France 🇫🇷😘
Hello Isabelle! Oh yes I adored the Devotional Tour! So amazing to this day...WOW great timing with your comment about Blasphemous Rumours, because I just literally about 15 minutes ago posted a link on my community post to a short film that one of my subscribers made for that song. You should check it out, it's really good! What beautiful compliments you have given, thank you so much! I'm trying hard! Thanks for watching me all the way over in beautiful France! I went there in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and fell in love with your country for sure!!! :)
@@retroreactions.... I'm going to check it right now, this song is so beautiful, the melody and the deep lyrics... And all I told you is true, I just discovered you with Pink Floyd because it's my favorite band for so many decades... You have a different way to react on music and I was touched. Now I follow you like so many followers you have, thanks to your personality so special and real 😘
@@retroreactions.... going on your channel, I saw you reacted to Led Zeppelin (thanks, I love) and the old Genesis with Peter Gabriel... Waouh, that's so rare... Firth of Fifth is a masterpiece, I'm going to watch your reaction right now... I can suggest you The Knife from the album Trespass, this song is amazing too... It seems we like English bands from this period 🤔
Wow, your compliments continue to blow me away! I'm trying very hard to make a good channel, and it's wonderful to see that people like you really enjoy and appreciate me...Much love!!!
Yes, we both have AMAZING taste with music haha....I have added your vote for The Knife on my list... :)
Nice reaction. I saw them at the Silverdome in Detroit on this tour. After an intermission, they played Dark Side straight through. After they finished, David Gilmour announced that was the first time they had played it straight through since 1975. I heard they played it several more times at other venues after that.
Thanks Dave... can't wait to hear the whole Dark Side live...
I was at the Soldier Field show in Chicago that year. We're talking full 360 degree surround sound with music, voices, sound effects coming at you from all directions throughout the stadium. An amazing experience of light, sound and music. The Pulse video is great but can never come close to the actual experience. Transcendent.
No wonder people cried and passed out...sensory overload of greatness....
Pink Floyd are the Undeniable God's of Live performance. Everything you just witnessed was designed for the audience. The lights Highly choreographed to maximize and amplify the emotion in the music. To merge the visual with the musical to give everyone in attendance a completely visceral experience. There is No One in the 21st century that can even hold a candle to them.. If you want a complete experience, watch the 2016 David Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert. The performance of this song. A 70 yr old man in a black Tshirt shredding the songs for more than 2 hrs
Nice, have to get to that at some point...the whole show is on RUclips?
I saw them on their "Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour in 1988. It had the same exact stage set-up. I don't know about people crying, but I was sitting there slack-jawed throughout the concert. I remember thinking, what the hell is that thing as it began to open above the floor seats. I feel so fortunate to have seen them. I'll never forget it and seeing the videos brings it all back. Thanks for the reaction.
Interesting to know... so glad they captured it on film...
One never tires. Magnificent! Grazie!
:) Thanks for watching!!!
@@retroreactions.... Plaisir! Plays ear!
One last comment from me - You mentioned the ring lights they installed in the auditorium that graphically mirrored the circular screen behind the stage (called Mister Screen, because as cool and detached as they were, they could also be giant dorks). When you see the stage brightly lit, you'll notice the entire thing is a giant eye looking upward, and I always interpreted those ring lights as more eyes looking down at the audience. They also hung several banners overhead with variations on the Division Bell album cover, and when you put all those elements together, you notice how unified the graphic design of the whole thing was. Very cool.
Mr. Screen LOL, yes I noticed the banners too. They went so above and beyond in every aspect for this tour!
@@retroreactions.... mr. Screen is one of the iconic symbols of live Pink Floyd. Has been with them almost from the beginning. Always behind them. In darker quiet instrumental parts, and other times, video or animation is displayed on the screen behind them. Did I mention they had their own animator? Gerald Scarfe. Responsible for some of the most haunting, surreal snd at times terrifying images displayed behind them during some songs from ’Wish You Were Here’ and ’The Wall'. Check out "High Hopes" by them from Pulse to see the screen in classic proper use. Not animated Gerald Scarfe stuff on this one, but every bit as surreal snd captivating. Oh, and the song is pretty dope too!! 😏
Nice. I want to see their imagery next. I saw Another Brick video and there was some pretty disturbing stuff. BTW, did they make more traditional music videos ever? Never heard anyone discuss that yet...
@@retroreactions.... Weeellllll...as you've already discovered, "traditional" is a relative term. One of the most alluring things about them to me is how much care they put into thought-provoking imagery that becomes forever tied to the music in your mind (I mean, those album covers!), and that included video from nearly the beginning. Roger was usually the one from whom the more disturbing material originated, but once David assumed command in the 80's, they made a few "Mtv approved" music videos for songs like Learning to Fly and High Hopes. Like the commenter said, many of the concert tours featured mini-movies played up on Mr. Screen that fully qualify as "music vids", just intended for concert goers rather than cable television. All of those clips are available in their box sets and many on YT. OH! And the Another Brick video you watched is just an out-of-context clip from the movie adaptation of The Wall album, which could be said to be a 90-minute music video with a narrative through-line.
@@retroreactions.... Yeah, 'Another Brick in the Wall pt2' 1979, was to the best of my knowledge their first official video for the public. Once again ahead of their time as MTV didn't even exist yet. That giant puppet - marionette of the teacher in the video is a Gerald Scarf original that appeared on stage with them during the live concerts of The Wall back in '79,80. It currently resides in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Most other videos that came before that you see on RUclips accompanying some of their songs were videos/imagery created strictly for their concerts to enhance the music. One of the most watched versions of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5" here on RUclips features Scarfe animation produced for Mr.Screen not the public. I try to encourage reactors to avoid the video version of 'Shine On' when reacting to it specifically for the reason that they could (and do), become so distracted by the haunting animation that they completely lose track of the amazing music. But it's definitely worth watching AFTER you've listened to the song on its own first. Check out "Goodbye Blue Skies" from The Wall here on RUclips. It features beautiful acoustic instrumentals and Gilmour vocals, accompanied by some very dark terrifying animated war imagery.
Roger Waters was the original co vocalist with Dave on this song. He was also the main lyricist of Pink Floyd material through the seventies and all their most classic albums. He left the band in the mid-80s mostly over creative differences with Gilmour. Thus you have keyboardist Richard Wright and other backup musicians singing his verses here. This is one of the reasons its so important to listen to the studio versions of Floyd first to hear the original production as it appeared on the albums with the original personnel. Then you can compare the live version later. With Floyd usually it's pretty close or better.
PS Roger is on tour in Europe as we speak. He toured all over the United States last summer doing a bunch of Pink Floyd material. He does a hauntingly beautiful and even darker version of Comfortably Numb in his show. You can catch his live 2022 version here on RUclips.
Yes they always manage to add to the songs both visually and sonically when performing them live. Oh didn't know Roger still tours... Can't imagine someone else singing David's parts..
@@retroreactions.... Roger sings the entire thing in his show. In fact, he just released a video for it a month or so ago. Look up Rodger Waters Comfortably Numb 2022. Also if it's any consolation, David Gilmour has never officially ruled out going back out on tour as a solo act or Pink Floyd with Nick Mason. He last toured in 2016. He would still be younger than Rolling Stones who are also still touring. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Dave and Nick released a song last year as Pink Floyd in support of Ukraine. Look up "Hey Hey, Rise Up" Pink Floyd.
I'll have to watch it to see the differences...Would be great for 1 more PF album or 1 more small tour!
C'è un tempo per ogni cosa sotto il sole...così dice nella Bibbia.
Fa tristezza vedere certe vecchie glorie atteggiarsi a quello che non sono più.
Continuino a suonare magari incidendo dischi, ma lascino stare i tour per il mondo che sono molto stancanti per tutti , figurarsi per dei quasi ottantenni.
Per non dire del seguito...una volta le gropies ora le badanti e le infermiere 😂😂😂😂
There's the proof..I must say that's one of the coolest most unique live screens I've ever seen! Thanks..
The PF fans call that guitar in waves as 'screaming guitar'. Great review and reaction.
Makes sense... thanks so much for watching and for your comment! 🎸✌️

Makes sense....for live material I will always try to include the video...
Well…. You can’t miss with this one, Brandon; one of the most iconic guitar solos in history… most legendary light shows…. One of top bands in history. One of my top 2 bands for sure. PF were their own genre. They took you away to a whole different place in your mind. Still do.
Good choice.
Yessss!
Sans doute un des plus grands solos de guitare de l histoire de la musique pour la meilleure prestation scénique de tous les temps, je l ai vu a Paris, les spectateurs étaient quasi en transe ! Pink Floyd de 1968 a 1983 ont enregistrés que des chefs d'oeuvre (hormis les 2 musiques de films : obscuced by clouds et more) ! Leur musique est intemporelle, comme celle de mozart ou beethoven. (j ai regardé votre vidéo avec les sous titres français, je ne parle pas du tout anglais) . bonne continuation
Bonjour! Je suis totalement d'accord, et c'est tellement génial que vous ayez pu voir Pink Floyd en personne. Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé. Je suis content que les sous-titres aient fonctionné ! Je suis allé à Paris 3 fois et j'ai tellement aimé. Tant de beaux endroits et de choses à voir! Merci encore et beaucoup d'amour des USA :)
Lighting Crew: Dave, how many Lights can we have?
Gilmour: Yes!!!!!
Lighting Crew: 🤷♂ Okay then.....
Audience after every Pulse show in each city: 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Haha... maybe some people brought sunglasses...

Thanks J. 1K next I hope!!
You will want to watch the entire concert. Pulse Tour 1994 It is the greatest show ever done in my opinion and I've seen PF 4 times and nearly every other legendary band since 1966 over 300 shows. Being there was the most mind blowing experience of my life
Amazing! What memories...
There have been some tours more profitable, but NONE as powerful and emotional. When you mentioned the lighting, I thought the following info would bring some clarity to the immense undertaking this tour was. Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. All in all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people and an initial investment of US$4 million plus US$25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average audience of 45,000.
Unreal, but no doubt worth all the effort, money and talent/skills involved in creating the tour of all tours!
If I had to pick my favourite band from the 70’s, it’s a Sophie’s Choice situation between The Floyd and Queen.
Off to check out more Floyd reactions.
Please oh please do a reaction to Procol Harum’s performance of 1967’s Whiter Shade of Pale (Live in Denmark 2006) - it will absolutely blow you away!!
Hugs from The ATL!
So you love Floyd too? Perfect!!
@@retroreactions.... For 51 years now LOL.
Haha, you got me beat! 2 months here lol, well I did like the 3 songs of theirs that I knew before this channel :)
I've never seen Pink Floyd live.😥
Me neither....😭
@@retroreactions.... bummer😞
A Multimedium Extravaganzum
Worth every penny and more! It was 1994, probably wasn't even that expensive...
Great reaction, man! They played Echoes during the first leg of the previous tour in late 1987. Rehearsals during that period are on RUclips and I believe some of the shows uploaded here have Echoes as well.
Thanks Ian! Cool....now I want Echoes in ultra hi def from their 2023 reunion mini tour!!
Pleased to see you take a look at this performance Brandon. It really was a phenomenal live concert. Another extraordinary live performance that I’d like to see you to react to, is Santana “Soul sacrifice” performed at Woodstock in 1969. If you do, make sure it’s the full 9 minute 37 second version.
Thanks! Don't know much from Santana..
@@retroreactions.... This Woodstock set really put them on the map. I know you cover 70s, 80s and 90s but this is only a few months earlier!
That took place in 1969, so doesn’t fit within guidelines, but I hope we can do it anyway. Fantastic performance. And I understand that they were all trippin’ on acid at the time, and Santana kept seeing his guitar neck turning into a writhing snake. Yikes!
Maybe our Retro Time Machine will have a "glitch" once in a while and arrive in a slightly different era... :)
@@retroreactions.... YESSSSS! ✌️✊
One of the things they achieved by having three different voices singing Roger's parts is that there is no way of making a direct comparison and saying, "This person doesn't sing it as well as Roger does." But they've set it up so there is no comparison -- three voices are perforce going to sound different from one. So you're not making a direct one-to-one comparison between two people.
Clever of them...
Another Incredible performance from this Pulse Concert, part of Pink Floyds 1994 The Division Bell World Tour. Pink Floyd are renowned for their elaborate, massive tours, and the Pulse Concert is no different.
This is listed as "the final concert tour" of Pink Floyd, but the three members of Pink Floyd here at this Pulse concert, did play together as Pink Floyd in the 2000s, but they did not tour.
The three members of Pink Floyd onstage here are, (you known them), David Gilmour, (guitar, lead vocals), Rick Wright, (keyboards, vocals), and Nick Mason, (drums, percussion). The rest of the musicians and singers are PFs' touring band that year or that tour.
Although Guy Pratt has been playing bass for PF since Roger Waters quit the band in 1985/86, but he's not technically a member of Floyd.
Cool, thanks for the info and for watching!
The last time that the three played together though was around 2007, right? A few months before Richards death. Was that not on tour?
I always thought Live 8 2005 was the last time all 3 of them performed together (one night only), but you guys know way more about the history than me of course...
@Helene Spaulding - they played a gig in 2007 as part of the Syd Barrett tribute show. They played Arnold Layne. It's part of The Later Years box set, but I think it might be up on RUclips as well.
@@ianfortier6796 but what was the song that David refused to play after Richard died? It’s like a conversation between keyboards and guitar, and I know they performed it shortly before his death. One of their most famous. I’m spacing on it.
Welcome to the machine….
This was the 1st encore of the concert. Now you should check out the 2nd encore and concert closer, Run Like Hell. Best finale EVER!
Wow they actually topped this? NICE...
@@retroreactions.... As far as lights and energy, yes. But nothing tops the solo in Comfortably Numb
Gdańsk is brilliant and shows Gilmore can still shine at his age, but musically , I believe live in Pompeii , 1973 , rivals Pulse.
Echoes is perfect for the empty ampitheatre..... and I can hear the music echoing the cries and pain from the dead gladiators and Christians etc 2000 years ago.
Yes, I reacted to Echoes at Pompeii, and it was other worldly!
I'm 51. & after all these years my fave & GOAT album is still Pink Floyd "The Wall", from which this song came. It was a constant companion & expressed every feeling I had as a teen. They never toured a lot & broke up after "The Final Cut", but got back together in '86 without Roger Waters (Waters, an original member, wrote most of The Wall & was my fave member) with "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" album/tour. I personally didn't like the album & didn't care to see the concert. Later I watched the vhs they put out & was glad I didn't waste my time & money. But by the time they came out with "The Division Bell", from which this "Pulse" show came, it had been so long, & I actually thought the album was better, so I wound up with tix to see this tour in an outdoor stadium. I wasn't expecting much, & figured couldn't be much better than the previous tour, but thankfully I was wrong & they blew me away! I'm still processing how lucky I was, guess you could say? It sounded better than the records! They played a set of old mixed with new songs, took a break, then came out & did "Dark Side Of The Moon" album, filled by encores, including this, "CN". I'd seen many guitar greats, including Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, & Eddie Van Halen to name a few, but knew I was witnessing the best in David Gilmore! It was the best sounding concert I've ever heard.
...Fyi, it was RETRO in the name that landed me here, friend! You evidently seem to know wtf you're doing, cause reactions are the new smack for the Old Skhool!🤘😎
See ya!
✌🌎❤
Aren't you glad you went to Pulse/DB Tour? :) Glad you found me and thanks so much for your support!
I recall you said on an earlier video that you weren't a big fan of long Guitar solos, you're a keyboard player so ok, I get it. But tell me that Dave Gilmour's solos throughout this Pulse concert & all the other Pink Floyd clips you've seen & heard hasn't changed your mind? Gilmour does way more than a guitar solo, he plays the song, with all the emotion of the lyrics. It's like the guitar is not just a feature but integral to the songs. Someone said a while ago that lots of kids want a guitar for Christmas, but Fender Stratocasters want David Gilmour....God's Guitarist!!
I hope I didn't say that!! If so what I probably meant was that I'm much more a fan of keyboards in bands. I do appreciate guitar and great long solos, as long as they aren't so harsh that they hurt my ears, like some heavy metal...Gilmour's solos are gorgeous to listen to in many ways. Appreciate them each time. He speaks, sings and cries with his playing. Thanks Phil
@@retroreactions.... Lol, all good! I'm a drummer, I used to call myself a "Musician's Labourer" lol. But anyone with an ear for music of any sort or any instrument will easily recognize a brilliant player & Gilmour's genius on the guitar is up there with the best musicians of all time, regardless of the instrument they play!!
🖒😎
Thanks Gigi!
If there is a Heaven, and IF i get there, i bet Jesus' voice sounds like David Gilmore's.
😊
now give us "dogs" 🙃
Very soon I'm sure....🐕😁
Good to know....that's an important point you've told me...we shall see, always a bit overwhelming what to choose next each day, but I'll get a rhythm/system going...
@@shineon7641 actually you´re right, but the reason why i suggested "dogs" so soon is that i watched the reactor´s floyd-reactions so far (he did core pieces already) and i thought that he´s the right person to get the whole animals-album. but you´re right, it is recommended to read into the album first (which for me personally is their artistic peak). of course a complete "dark side of the moon"-set before animals would be recommended. 🙃
What is your background? I want that. Thanks.
Sure! Just go to pixabay.com and search for "nebula 3 space" and it should be the first result! You can download it in different resolutions. Let me know in case you can't find it. Thanks!
