The ultimate version for production and musicality. Guy Pratt on bass absolute legend. His audition for getting the bass job for floyd was this vocal part for Run Like Hell. Gary Wallis with those amazing drum fills in the outro.
Tip: for Pulse, go with the new 'Restored & Re-edited' version on Pink Floyd's official channel. It has much better audio and video quality than the older uploads.
Great as always. Thank you for doing it. I accidentally sent the wrong link. The link I meant to send was not split screen. Not sure how I mixed it up but loved your reaction to it. My next 2 requests are shorter. Lol.
Marc Brickman is the lighting engineer genius behind this and he's been with them for a while now. It's amazing to watch the lighting changes along with the beat changes of the music all hitting at the same time perfectly throughout the whole concert!! I've seen Floyd four times, once in 74 for "Dark Side of the Moon" in 77 for the "In the Flesh" tour, 87 for the "Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour and this Pulse tour!! I've seen close to a hundred concerts from ACDC to Zeppelin and everyone in between and I've yet to see a better concert than Floyd puts on!! The "In the Flesh" tour in 77 was beyond description incredible with ,Roger Waters" still with them and backup guitarist "Snowy White" including Gilmour, Rick Write and Nick Mason all their Primes!! They played all of "Wish You Were Here" all of "Animals" and half of "Dark Side of The Moon" for their encore!! I left that show "Speechless"!!!
I love that Gilmour is enjoying himself so much during this track, even showboating at times with the one hand playing. Guy Pratt, the bassist, is great too
Run Like Hell was their last song of the concert. I didn't want that concert to end. Seriously !! Great job as usual David. Peter Wynne Wilson was the band’s lighting designer and is an internationally renown lighting inventor.
I've been only once in the front row... and i'll remember all my life the beginning of the concert. Keith Richards stopped just in front on me and began the riff of Brown Sugar. I saw the notes coming out of the guitar, literally, like in a cartoon. And about the heat, I remember the big flamethrowers they used, in that concert (Licks Tour) and in another one I was in the center of the crowd. I feeled the heat.
Looks like that was a side by side of the original video release and the the re-edited/re-mastered version. Original on the right the re-edited version to the left... I own a copy of the original release, one of my favourite concert videos of all time.
Pink Floyd has always been a big light show and effects band simply because they considered themselves boring to watch on stage. It became what their live shows were known for.
You could make a case for not being front row for many bands. Rammstein front row is tops of the tops. To get the full experience of the flames and effects. I'll never forget it! Great reaction as always! Love Pink Floyd
They way he emulates footsteps in the intro by using delay and a tape head is genius. Especially in a live setting like this where he can hype up the crowd by doing it
Besides color, lighting has another important characteristic: intensity. Intensity changes are very emotional; the rate of change figures in importantly, as well. The greater the intensity and the faster the change rate, the more stroboscopic the effect, for instance. Though, I've never seen anybody strobe a color change sequence...The slow increase in intensity heading into the "Comfortably Numb" solo literally RAISED the emotional floor of the audience! You feel an UPWELLING emotion of anticipation, which, I would argue, is the scariest emotional value there is!...hehehe...I've been told by a seasoned performing musician that he's experienced rather magical states, akin to an out-of-body experience, during performance due to a special spontaneous connection with the audience. hahaha..."Anything can happen!"
This concert was broadcasted live in 1994 - and later released on Vhs in 1995, with slight editing (that came out on Dvd years later). Some super nerd fan (like I tend to be too) seems to have put both versions side by side, to see what shots are missed where. One obviously is an old Tv recording. Now just a year or so ago they released a new remaster which is a completely new video edit on their "the later years" boxset. So now there are some moments we have three different camera angles from :D
I certainly know about those floodlights. If one of those beams happens to catch you dead in the face it's fricking blinding. You should check out Nick Mason's current project Saucerful Of Secrets in which he's actually reunited with Guy Pratt who was the bass player on the Pulse concert. They're very much different in that they don't perform the typical mainstream stuff that Pink Floyd tribute bands tend to play because they wanted to fully capture the spirit rather than just be another one of those and also bring their own flavour to it.
I really liked the knowledge dump on lights! I've encountered them before in a different context -- classical music, chamber singers and the like, it gets pretty hot when you're stuck in a tux. I am wondering about current generation of lights (I haven't been in well over a decade); have LEDs eased the heat, or are they still using the thousand watt bulbs?
Independently, they're not so bad. BUT...sometimes those LED's require more sheer volume....which leads to more heat. So basically you're breaking even when it comes to temperature.
For quite a long time now here in New Zealand we have regular tours from the pink Floyd experience.its probably the closest you will get to the real thing anywhere.
You'll notice too, that at the 6:44 mark of your video, right after you talk about Gilmour's ability to read the crowd, that he plays a soft distorted bar of "We'll Meet Again' by Vera Lynn ruclips.net/video/HsM_VmN6ytk/видео.html She was iconic as an artist who kept morale up among the British people in WW2, and there's a song about her on the album The Wall. I saw these shows live quite a few times, and I have to say, Run Like Hell production wise was probably my least favorite of all of the songs in the show, especially if I was on the floor seats. The lighting, especially any of the white lighting, was so overblown that it felt like they were just smacking me in the head. It was the effects and lighting guys (I think it was Marc Brickman) moment to flex. And the sound guy turns everything to 11. It worked.
"That drummer"?? You mean Nick Mason, the original drummer of Pink Floyd? Sorry, the way you said it sounded like you didn't know who it was. Loved it!
Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion, and I'm not trying to throw shade, but if this performance only rated an 8.6, what the heck would it take to get a 9.5 or 10? I didn't hear you say one negative thing about it but it only got an 8.6. Just curious on what more you think they could have done.
Keep in mind I was not taking the song into account for the score, due to the fact that I have heard the song before. My score was only based on the live performance from a visual aspect: Showmanship, Stage Interaction, Stage Presence, Crowd Interaction, Stage Energy, and Production. If this had been the first time I had heard the song as well, the score would have been higher.
I didn’t expect to learn that much about lighting when I clicked this. Now I have a new appreciation for the art - thanks very much!

I don't think it's showboating,it's just that he's playing an open string
I never got the chance to see them live, but I did see the movie "The Wall" when that came out. Pink Floyd are true musical geniuses.
As a Pink Floyd Fanatic, this Concert was the best experience i ever had ! The only Concert on this level was Rammstein in 2019 !
I saw them on The Division Bell tour in 94. One of the best live shows I've seen. Great reaction again!
😃 I love PINK FLOYD, i saw Pink Floyd on the PULSE concert 😃 Brit Floyd has the best tribute show to Floyd 😃😃😃
I like the Aussies too

Saw this tour in Montreal back in the day, still the best concert I've seen. Great reaction, keep up the good work!

I was at several of these concerts in 1994 and I can tell you... yes you feel those lights

David, the genius responsible for the lighting was Marc Brickman

Broadcasted live to where?
😃 I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER 😃

Looking like it's the original version alongside the remastered version. Being there live was even better.
Such a great tour. Gilmour Floyd is best Floyd
Lighting guy: "How much can we spend?"
Floyd: "Yes."
LOL

That intro is NUTS
I think one side was the original dvd release & t’other the TV broadcast footage.
Great
"That drummer"?? You mean Nick Mason, the original drummer of Pink Floyd? Sorry, the way you said it sounded like you didn't know who it was. Loved it!
😃😃 Dude im the fuckin first dude, to like and comment 😃😃

LIGHTING? U2 360 TOUR...THATS LIGHT.
Compare this song to "Short And Sweet" off Gilmour's first solo album.
Asterism is out with new video. Oh and the have grown up! ruclips.net/video/mShQV3Biiw0/видео.html
Worse song on the night. Felt a little flat
