My favorite from the "Division Bell" album. David moves so easily from one instrument to another. He gets even more emotion out of the Steel guitar than his Fender guitar which is astonishing. Thank you! I enjoyed watching this with you this morning!
Slide guitars are use in a lot of old pure country. Notice Pink Floyd ISN'T rock & roll they are in a category of their own. If you like the slide: Watch Dave play " Live at Pompeii' "One of These Days" which h perform in the Amphitheatra 43 yrs prior. The only person to play there twice since 79 AD.
YES.... Again. I've seen P.F. Live 4 times and met David Gilmour who gave me a signed album. This song blew everyone away, as did the entire show. You will want to see the entire show start to finish..... React to that. Have a Splendid Successful Day
Got the new P.F.album "The Division Bell",, on the way to the “PULSE TOUR” concert playing this song in my car a friend said he wasn’t sure he liked the song as much as others on the album….. THEN we saw it performed live and he said…. “WHOA”, That was phucking AWESOME”… I agreed. Incredible to witness live.
Too funny, I heard it for the first time ever played on the radio on the way to the first show of the tour at Joe Robbie stadium in Miami!! Unbelievable concert! I think it's the best concert/tour performance of any band in the history of R& R.
As an old man and a lifelong Pink Floyd fan I must say this song evokes more nostalgia than any other. Pure emotion... Bittersweet... Simply incredible what music can make one feel.
Some people call it a lap steel guitar but that's only a you set it in your lap. It's actually a pedal steel guitar and he plays it in other songs during this same concert such as "One of These Days" and "Great GIG In the Sky"!
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.
Interesting alternative edit of the live camera angles - obviously much more focused on the visual production than PF’s players, compared to the original edit. It’s nice seeing more of the amazing lighting design and the original HipGnosis film material, but I do miss the invigorating shots of the percussionist tolling the big bell, and the beautifully eerie, Siren-like backup singers. I guess there’s really no way to totally absorb the full majesty of “PULSE” without simply having been there. 🥲
I believe Gilmour was playing his red Jedson lap steel guitar.
My favorite from the "Division Bell" album. David moves so easily from one instrument to another. He gets even more emotion out of the Steel guitar than his Fender guitar which is astonishing. Thank you! I enjoyed watching this with you this morning!
Im 71 and a huge PF fan. Try Nightwish tribute to this song. Very impressive. NW are big fans of PF.
@@FrankWirth-ij4rq I will check it out. I have heard their Phantom of the Opera and love the guitar on it.
It's a slide guitar. You see a few other guitarists use it too. Kick ass reaction! Thank you, my friend....
I know it was popular in country music but I don't know if it still the case.
It's actually called a steel guitar but, lot's people call it a slide too. Great use of one, as always.
@@keithcollins1483 I've heard it referred to both ways. David makes it sing for sure.

From the same PULSE CONCERT, please check out RUN LIKE HELL.
I always seem to get choked up whenever I hear a beautiful Pink Floyd song
Such a Beautiful song !!!!! love Pink Floyd

Wonderful solo and song. One of my favorites.
The spiritual journey is begins❣️❣️

@@boltonperry9227 Agreed. I've seen around 300 concerts from everybody worth seeing. including P.F. 4 times. Greatest show ever

That lap steel slide guitar solo makes my eyes water every time.
You can ear the fly at the beginning ???????
You can see a lot more of Gilmour on that Jedson lap steel guitar in the re-edited PULSE version from a few years ago.
Now that you've seen this,, another treat is the Nightwish cover/tribute of this song 🔥
You almost got dragged into ''Take it back'' there at the end, check that out too, very underrated PF song

I seem to have read this before. You a serial story poster?
I’m envious.
A master at work.
your reactions some of the best.. you're feeling it real.. not pretending.. good watch.. keep up the tingles x
You must watch...."Keep Talking" from the same show, it is the next song you heard starting, another spectacular performance.
BTW.... I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
you aren't alone
Neither of you are alone 😉
@@lynnhoffman247 Every time with P.F. since 1973
@@AliasMark69 😂 Same here…
Listen to 2Cellos cover the Trooper song. Brilliant.
Learning to fly, is also great from this, as are all others. They sold out this show for ,I believe 11 dates. Could have done so 50 nights.
If yiu want to see another genius guitar player check out Robert Randolph And The Family Band, Teds Jam..best slid3 guitar playing I’ve ever seen.
Happy to see that you are enjoying Pink Floyd.😊
its called a "pedal steel" guitar google it
