Wish You Were Here was a monumental album, dedicated to Syd Barrett, from early Floyd albums like Relics, he lost his mind to LSD, He walked into the studio while it was being recorded... Shine on you crazy diamond, is Syd's dedicated track from the album.
Pink Floyd is a group - one of the most famous rock groups in history. David Gilmour, the guitarist is considered one of the best to ever pick up the instrument. They formed way back in 1968. What your seeing is the tip of an enormous iceberg. Second song is “Wish You We’re Here” a classic PF song. I don’t know where to start. Try listening to Comfortably Numb” live from their “Pulse” release-the guitar solo at the end is considered one of the best live solos ever played. ‘Dark Side of the Moon” released in the 70’s is one of the best selling albums of all time. I saw them at Yankee Stadium in 1994 which sold out in an hour -musical Mecca! This is very deep rabbit hole to go down, kind of one where you can never really come back out the same.
Well said mate. Watching that I had a big grin on my face thinking where do I begin telling Sushi about Pink Floyd. You did it perfectly (except for the date)
Not really right overlooking two chart hits before him, Also the debt they owe to the person he replaced, Also nothing good happened until Waters started bringing in material, Absolutely fabulous guitarist and musician Gilmour is no doubt but people do tend to give him some credit which belongs to others,
You've just stumbled upon one of the greatest and most important rock bands of the 20th century.The band is Pink Floyd.The vocalist and lead guitarist on these 2 songs is David Gilmour... Considered among of the best to ever pick up the guitar. Check out "Time" by them. Studio version please.
Your really easy and pleasant to watch and listen to. A genuine sweetheart. If you go down the pink floyd road get ready to get busy, your viewership is going to hit the sky on all their songs you play. To hear you say that you have not listened to them before, to me is like you saying you heard of water but haven't tried it before. I consider plnk floyd a basic need...
When I first saw your introduction to this video, My immidiate thought was “Oh, Girl! You’re in for a treat!” and “There’s no turning away!” Enjoy Pink Floyd for the rest of Your life...and remember to introduce Pink Floyd to Your children...when they are ready. Oh, by the Way: I had the pleasure seeing Pink Floyd twice in Copenhagen in the late 80’s and mid 90’s...a truly life changing experience!
awe sis .... makes me happier than you’ll ever know watching you enjoy. my grand daughter is an old soul and she loves my genre. pink floyd has consistently been my favorite since they released “echoes” in ‘71. pssst .... view that video and ck out david gilmour as a youngin’ n’ you’ll see why i’ve crushed hard ever since!
Floyd's albums are concept albums. As a rule, the songs run together. The only track that is kind of solo is "Money," on Dark Side of the Moon. Trivia...when Syd Barrett went to name the group, he honored 2 different early 20th century blues artists; Floyd Baker & "Pink" Anderson. Pink lived most of his life in my home town of Spartanburg, SC. Floyd was from NC. I could take you to Pink's grave.
Hi Sushi and welcome to Pink Floyd, a legendary and long-lived rock band. I have a recommendation for you: 1) Get comfortable and "switch off" (maybe with dim lighting) 2) Slip on some good headphones and close your eyes (focus on music, not visuals) 3) Listen to a PF track. As an intro I'd recommend "Time", "Money" or "Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V" 4) Recover
Smoke a doobie if that is legal where you live. There are instruments you cannot hear unless you are high. There's a reason PF is mandatory listening for stoners.
Congrats, and Welcome to the Machine! Another angel gets its wings, listening to the best band ever. As thousands (millions) will probably attest to having grown up to and enjoyed for decades, it would be unbelievable if we could experience Pink Floyd for the first time again. For the ultimate trip, their most successful 4 albums, in the 70's, are meant to be listened to as entire works, so recommend , if at all possible, going chronological; Start with "Dark Side Of The Moon" one of the best albums of all time. Then, "Wish You Were Here" album (which the 2nd song you listened to is on, although the studio versions are usually better to hear first, then go to live version), followed by "Animals", and finally "The Wall". There's so much to experience, so take it slow and enjoy every song.
David is not the flashess guitar player. He is super talented and steady. Pink's music tells a story and takes you on a journey. Each and everyone of these people is a master of their craft. One of my ALL time favorite bands. Great.... So GOOD!!!!!!!! Enjoy.

Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were two blues men from North and South Carolina that the band got is name from by the original member Sid Barrett who picked and put together the two 1st names ..
Gabba Jay He is good but Gilmore makes his guitar sing almost like a vocal. There's a richness to his sound. More than likely most of your favorite guitar players favorite guitar player is Gilmore.
Dark side of the moon, the whole album is GREAT, a must ...have to listen from beginning to end. It all flows and pink floyd is the name of the group not an individual person.
Pink floyd is the pinnacle that all other bands try to achieve. David Gilmore is the greatest guitar player ever. He puts so much emotion into his music that you can't help but feel what he wants you to feel. The band and singers seem to be of one mind which makes their music TIMELESS!
On The Turning Away is absolutely incredible, the song is about people turning the back on people who have nothing homeless and desperate and about the way we never give them a 2nd glance..!! The message is so powerful and meaningful and we should all listen to the lyrics and act upon them..!! When you go to a Pink Floyd concert it's like going to the theatre, lighting and lasers and a 50foot giant circular screen..They have the reputation as the best live band to see ICONIC
@martin, no it’s not. It’s about the breakup of Pink Floyd and how they turned their backs on one another. The lawyers involved were the ones saying the words they don’t understand etc…
@EF86 Tubes Thanks for giving us the explanation, mate. I've never heard the reasons for the lyrics that you sent me, truly fascinating as you would never have guessed it. How did you manage to find out the true meanings of the incredible song as I've never heard any of the 3(ie) Dave, Rick or Nick explain the lyrics in any interview..!! I was lucky enough to see them play it live St Earls Court in 94 Pulse Tour, I was there the night the seating collapsed and we had to go back down from Liverpool the following week to the rearranged night, it's my favourite Floyd song after Roger left so I was made up and Gilmour played the guitar solo at the end for a good 5/6minutes was outstanding..!! I'm going to see Roger in May in Birmingham, same Stadium I saw him in 2018 for the Us and Them Tour can't wait mate 😆
I've seen Pink Floyd over 30 times since 1967, they put on the greatest lightshows ever seen.... when the quieter guitar starts playing that's the beginning of another song "Wish you were here". The entire concert flows through song after song.
Saw Pink Floyd and was like gotta listen. This came out while I was stationed in Germany and saw them that same year in Germany. Best concert I’ve ever been to to date. You gotta react To more of the Floyd but with headphones on. If you venture to the rabbit hole it’s a journey you will never forget
"On the Turning Away" was a song from the late 80's. Song #2 "Wish You Were Here" was from the late 70's. Both classics from different eras. Pink Floyd is an experience. Each song is a journey. It is something that changes you when you really get into it. My favorite PF song is "TIME". I will leave it to the other comments to give you more suggestions.
Alright, you're getting into the really great music. David Gilmore is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Check out their Album Dark side of the Moon.
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 Yeah, this album from 87. Wich is the first without Waters. But the first album back with Rick. He got fired/left before the wall shows.
On Turning Away -- Actually haven't heard this before -- your sensitivity to rhythm, to musical quality, and your sense that something of depth is happening, is terrific!
The more you find out about pink floyd, the more depth everything attains. I would suggest finding a video with lyrics. As phenomenal as gilmour is on guitar, the words...dear God! Stunning.
@@velvanae If the Government refunded all of our Tax Dollars; the Government would be homeless. I might even warn the Government to not rent from my Landlord, as i try to be honest and, maybe, the Government is easily influenced, until, the Government turns, away and says "We are not easily influenced, unless, you gots lotsa Cash, Johnny."
I saw them many years ago during their Animals tour. It was at Madison Square Garden, my first concert ever. They played Pigs On the Wing, and when they turned the lights on there was a huge pig floating across the arena. Probably one of the best concerts I’ve been at.
PF's lyrics will live a long time because they carry eternal truths mankind needs to learn and practice. The concept that any particular decade could have the best songs is too limiting; PF's songs' messages will always have worthwhile and meaningful, deep concepts for any human being to hear and absorb. The crowd did not erupt in applause at the beginning of this video because of those first four words; they clapped enthusiastically because they knew what was to come, especially @5:26.
First time I heard this song was when I was in junior high, so about 1991 or 1992, but had been listening to them since I was 6 or 7. I saw the band Pink Floyd for the Division Bell Tour at the Rose Bowl in 1994. I also saw Roger Waters solo, he is one of the original band members (he wrote most of their songs but left the band in the early 1980s) in Irvine CA in 1997 or 1998. They are still my favorite band of all time. Just behind them are 2. Lana Del Rey 3. Eminem 4. Metallica 5. Bob Marley 6. Billie Eilish 7. Tupac Shakur 8. Jimi Hendrix ...and so on. I love that you kept watching for Wish You Were Here. Amazing song, and album.
We fans love David Gilmore he is a rock guitar god who can make his guitar sing with so much emotion it tears at your heart. This man can take three notes and make you feel the burden of the world.
You have just entered into the realm of progressive rock genius that is pink floyd best rock band ever I've been a fan for over fifty years can't get enough enjoy yourself believe me it doesn't come any better than this
When I was a senior in high school I ditched school to go see this concert down in Phoenix, Az. One of the best I've ever been to n always been a fan of Pink Floyd ever since I was young. Gotta see them in concert the best
Them. Pink Floyd is the name of the band it's a combination of two separate names both early blues musicians. The singers name in the video pluse. 94 ?? Is David Gilmore. The band broke up in late eighties. The other famous singers bass guitariest name is Roger waters
If you're going to do Pink Floyd, please do an entire album, like Dark Side Of The Moon. One of the best bands of all time and probably the best concert experience ever.
I`ve been listening to pink floyd my whole life and I`m 30 years old,you only just scratched the surface of this iconic band,I highly recommend Dark Side of the Moon an listen to whole album!
The entire concert is on RUclips....."Delicate Sound of Thunder". The three ladies each take their own ride later in the concert and it's phenomenal! I was lucky to attend their concerts 4 times..... each a sensory overload! Delicate Sound of Thunder gives you a great idea of what it was like. Watch it on a large screen and LOUD!
Others commenting below said it all. The circular screen you asked about is part of what they've been using in live shows for decades, and is used for many purposes. I'm glad people are requesting this band. Just a tidbit about this band... Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973 and remained on the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks (14.25 years). Beyond numbers, their work over the decades has been extraordinary, both the music and, in some of their songs like the one you played, in lyric content. With lyrics, some of us believe it's better to think than to feel. Feeling is easy, but thinking takes work. Thanks for posting.
Listen to The Great Gig In The Sky studio version from Dark Side of The Moon i would love to your reaction to that It'll give you chills. Plus another one from them would be a song called Time from the same album my all time favorite song
Welcome to Pink Floyd. Every song is a chapter in a fifty long year story. It does not matter where you start to listen, the order is there, but not important. it is the same story from beginning to end. This band is phenomenal and you won't regret hearing a song they have finely crafted.Their study work is far out shined by their live work. They come alive on stage. Envoy!
7 days of pink Floyd!!! (Studio versions please) 1. Wish you were here 2. Shine on you crazy diamond 3. Time 4. Hey you. 5. Us and them 6. Another brick in the wall Pt3 7. Comfortably numb - live, delicate sound of thunder
I suggest that you watch the whole pulse concert. I saw it live and have yet to see a concert that comes close. You will be so glad you did because you will experience an incredible journey.
I have been to several conserts with Pink Floyd, their music and show was fantastic. They cept it going for more than 30 years with their fantastic music.
There is a movie of the this early concert that this film footage is taken from. There is 2 short interviews with David where the off camera voice asks what David thinks of the criticism the band is to dependent on technology and drugs. David answer's while the camera is close on his face (which is subtaly turning between orange to green and back again...or maybe that was just me) but I doubt that) with all the electronica you see on stage behind (which was a lot for that time period) replys " No...I don't think so." This concert was done in the amphitheater of Pompeii which was empty...so it was performed for the dead of.Pompeii who died in the lava flow from Mount Etna.
Oh no you didn’t!!! Ohh noo you didn’t! Just react to a Pink Floyd song once and you be hooked- please for the love of our almighty lord Jesus Christ can you react to Time and Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.. and the album versions of both songs. Love these reactions
Saw them live in 75, Wish You Were Here tour, no warm up band, they played Wish You Were Here, took a break did Echos then Dark Side of the Moon in it's entirety. Amazing...
Girl, if you want a life changing experience, then Pink Floyd will do that for you. I suggest you start at The Dark Side Of The Moon and work your way through Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and many many more. You do not simply listen to Pink Floyd, you EXPERIENCE them. I dare you!! Also, headphones is a MUST.
I remember watching this event broadcast live on TV..... I had it playing on a Teac unlimited amp, pair of Celestion 250W speakers and a pair of 300W PA speakers... Cranked it up and the whole 5 houses owned by my landlord all joined in.... 10 rooms per house 5 houses all playing this at full volume. then everyone accross the street joined in too... A nightclub half a mile away complained as people in their quueue left came down and started partying in the street.. .Police came took 1 look and said there was nothing they could do as there were no complaints from any residents of the street.... What a night! Only Pink Floyd....
Yep,seen em all 73 Dark side of the moon, to 79 The wall. Very laid back. People sit in their seats, and go nuts at the end of a song. I've been fortunate, and find it amazing, that people are unaware of these masterpieces,but i enjoy seeing your face,because i had that same reaction when I was 13 years old. Enjoy
This Concert tour by Pink Floyd was the Best concert out of all the concerts i was at. Saw them at MSG in NYC on October 6th 1987. Momentary Lapse of Reason tour for the album Delicate Sound of Thunder
Sushi Sushi Sushi! This is my favorite band of ALL TIMES! Yes it’s a band not a person lol. This is all atmospherics! On the turning away is about how since before the sixties, we have all been turning away from the needs of the most needy! This song came out in the sixties! It was one of the leading songs for the struggle towards social justice! Please please listen to this band!
You found a giant rabbit hole to go down. Enjoy your journey through their entire series of albums. FYI I was at this concert during their tour of the midwest. It was a birthday present from spouse at the time.
Watching you react to these songs/videos (some of which you've never heard) is somewhat inspirational, I mean it's so obvious the passion you have for music. It's awesome God bless you.
You can't possibly know what a immense and wonderful rabbit hole you have stepped into by sampling just a piece of PF's music, I hope you enjoy it for the rest of your lifetime! PF always believed that there is just as much music between the notes as the ones being played, therefore the intentional 'space.' Many, many of today's quality bands site "PF as a major influence. Cheers for your journey of discovery!
PINK FLOYD was and still is a Mind Trip without a Map. I sat in my room many nights with just a black light and head phones on staring at my Posters thinking who what where.
Am fortunate enough to see them twice in concert:1st time in the mid 1970’s at Milwaukee County Stadium for the Dark Side of the Moon Tour and 2nd time also at Milwaukee County Stadium for the Animals Tour! The Animals Album Cover has a pig flying between smoke stacks of some building in Europe and during the concert PF had a GIANT inflatable Pig fly over County Stadium with 65,000 plus fans going nuts! Needless to say those were times I hope to never forget!!!
I was at the 1988 show in Tampa on this tour, I was 17 and it was life changing. I have seen Pink Floyd twice and the shows are epic, legendary, simply the best.
i have seen them in concert best show ever arguably the best band of all times great talent musically and the best lyrics of all time you should listen to alot more of them comfortably numb, great gig in the sky , shine on you crazy diamond . mother , us and them all great and i guarantee you will enjoy

For good reason.
I grew up listening to Pink Floyd and Queen some of the greatest bands of our time came from the 70's still loved by millions

Yes ma'am because its PINK FLOYD

Pink floyd comfortably numb live

From Wikopedia:
Pink Floyd is one of the most unique
and talented groups in history. Their earliest albums were very
experimental, and not as accessable musically as their later works.
All of their albums were concept albums and intended to be listend to
in their entirety. Pink Floyd has released a few “songs” but for
the most part, they released albums. Individual songs may not be
understood when listened to on their own, but are still amazing.
Their music takes you on an emotional journey. You shouldn't listen
if you are in a hurry, or have something else you need to do. The
music will almost put you in a trance and take you away. It is very
much like an audible movie. Their most popular album “The Dark
Side of the Moon” is one of the top selling albums in history.
Each side of the album is a continuous piece of music. The five
tracks on each side reflect various stages of human life, beginning
and ending with a heartbeat, exploring the nature of the human
experience, and (according to Waters) "empathy".[7]
"Speak to
Me" and "Breathe" together stress the mundane and
futile elements of life that accompany the ever-present threat of
madness, and the importance of living one's own life - "Don't
be afraid to care".[22]
By shifting the scene to an airport, the synthesiser-driven
instrumental "On the Run" evokes the stress and anxiety of
modern travel, in particular Wright's fear of flying.[23]
"Time"
examines the manner in which its passage can control one's life and
offers a stark warning to those who remain focused on mundane
aspects; it is followed by a retreat into solitude and withdrawal in
"Breathe
(Reprise)". The first side of the album ends with Wright and
vocalist Clare
Torry's soulful metaphor for death, "The Great Gig in the
Sky".[3]
The Dark Side of the Moon became one of the best-selling
albums of all time[87]
and is in the top 25 of a list of best-selling
albums in the United States.[45][88]
Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it
remained in the Billboard album chart for 741weeks from 1973
to 1988.[89][90]
The album re-appeared on the Billboard charts with the
introduction of the Top
Pop Catalog Albums chart in May 1991, and has been a perennial
feature since then.[91]
In the UK, it is the seventh-best-selling album of all time and the
highest selling album never to reach number one.[92]
Stop and think about that. 741 weeks or almost 15 years on the
Billboard Charts.
Sorry for the long post, but you needed to know.
Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were two blues men from North and South Carolina that the band got is name from by the original member Sid Barrett who picked and put together the two 1st names ..
They don't come much better than David Gilmour at playing that guitar

Prince! You need to check out his solo on the live song While my guitar gently weeps. I had no idea he played like that!.
Dark side of the moon, the whole album is GREAT, a must ...have to listen from beginning to end. It all flows and pink floyd is the name of the group not an individual person.
You have to listen to Pink Floyd- Time ... really the entire album.
You really owe it to yourself to listen to Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals.
@@armadillotoe I'd include The Wall in there too.
The second part is the song Wish You Were Here. It’s even more amazing!!
one of the greatest songs ever made!
I’ll take OTTA over WYWH any day
@@mgoulet002 DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE YOU MONSTER! 😂
Pink floyd is the pinnacle that all other bands try to achieve. David Gilmore is the greatest guitar player ever. He puts so much emotion into his music that you can't help but feel what he wants you to feel. The band and singers seem to be of one mind which makes their music TIMELESS!
On The Turning Away is absolutely incredible, the song is about people turning the back on people who have nothing homeless and desperate and about the way we never give them a 2nd glance..!! The message is so powerful and meaningful and we should all listen to the lyrics and act upon them..!! When you go to a Pink Floyd concert it's like going to the theatre, lighting and lasers and a 50foot giant circular screen..They have the reputation as the best live band to see ICONIC
@martin, no it’s not. It’s about the breakup of Pink Floyd and how they turned their backs on one another. The lawyers involved were the ones saying the words they don’t understand etc…
@EF86 Tubes Thanks for giving us the explanation, mate. I've never heard the reasons for the lyrics that you sent me, truly fascinating as you would never have guessed it. How did you manage to find out the true meanings of the incredible song as I've never heard any of the 3(ie) Dave, Rick or Nick explain the lyrics in any interview..!! I was lucky enough to see them play it live St Earls Court in 94 Pulse Tour, I was there the night the seating collapsed and we had to go back down from Liverpool the following week to the rearranged night, it's my favourite Floyd song after Roger left so I was made up and Gilmour played the guitar solo at the end for a good 5/6minutes was outstanding..!! I'm going to see Roger in May in Birmingham, same Stadium I saw him in 2018 for the Us and Them Tour can't wait mate 😆
Today it should be about the kids being indoctrinated into transgenderism by perverted teachers and sick parents.
Pink Floyd's music means so much to me. I couldn't ever describe how much.
“Wow, he’s so good at playing that guitar”
I envy people who are discovering Gilmour for the first time :)
I've seen Pink Floyd over 30 times since 1967, they put on the greatest lightshows ever seen.... when the quieter guitar starts playing that's the beginning of another song "Wish you were here". The entire concert flows through song after song.
Saw Pink Floyd and was like gotta listen. This came out while I was stationed in Germany and saw them that same year in Germany. Best concert I’ve ever been to to date. You gotta react
To more of the Floyd but with headphones on. If you venture to the rabbit hole it’s a journey you will never forget
Some of the greatest concerts I ever attended … I can't even put them in words, sooo much to hear !
"On the Turning Away" was a song from the late 80's. Song #2 "Wish You Were Here" was from the late 70's. Both classics from different eras. Pink Floyd is an experience. Each song is a journey. It is something that changes you when you really get into it. My favorite PF song is "TIME". I will leave it to the other comments to give you more suggestions.
Wish you were here is from the mid seventies, 1975.
@@indy3130 "Wish You Were Here" etc.
Alright, you're getting into the really great music. David Gilmore is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Check out their Album Dark side of the Moon.
Gilmour.
David Gilmour - The Lord Of The Strings.
Does "Dark Side Of The Moon" have Roger Walters in it? What about Nick Morse O'Codeson, the late Richard Dudleydowright and the late Skid Row Barrett?
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 Yeah, this album from 87. Wich is the first without Waters. But the first album back with Rick. He got fired/left before the wall shows.
On Turning Away -- Actually haven't heard this before -- your sensitivity to rhythm, to musical quality, and your sense that something of depth is happening, is terrific!
He so good at playing that guitar. I laughed out loud. Yes he's not too bad is he!
I’m 62 and been listening to Floyd all my life. Nothing better
“I’ve never heard his music.” Jesus. “Oh and by the way, which one’s Pink?”
Have a cigar, you’re gonna go far!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Next she should react to the The Pink Floyd Story: Which One is Pink?
She almost, *almost* said it!
"Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel"
@@AcmeRestorations That's an epic scene from the movie.
The more you find out about pink floyd, the more depth everything attains. I would suggest finding a video with lyrics. As phenomenal as gilmour is on guitar, the words...dear God! Stunning.
The song is about our apathetic veiws on the homeless.
Actually, it was about the political situations of the world and how the governments care about nothing but themselves. some things never change.
Yup! You got the message.
@@velvanae If the Government refunded all of our Tax Dollars; the Government would be homeless. I might even warn the Government to not rent from my Landlord, as i try to be honest and, maybe, the Government is easily influenced, until, the Government turns, away and says "We are not easily influenced, unless, you gots lotsa Cash, Johnny."
charles klein On The Turning Away is.
I saw them many years ago during their Animals tour. It was at Madison Square Garden, my first concert ever. They played Pigs On the Wing, and when they turned the lights on there was a huge pig floating across the arena. Probably one of the best concerts I’ve been at.
PF's lyrics will live a long time because they carry eternal truths mankind needs to learn and practice. The concept that any particular decade could have the best songs is too limiting; PF's songs' messages will always have worthwhile and meaningful, deep concepts for any human being to hear and absorb. The crowd did not erupt in applause at the beginning of this video because of those first four words; they clapped enthusiastically because they knew what was to come, especially @5:26.
First time I heard this song was when I was in junior high, so about 1991 or 1992, but had been listening to them since I was 6 or 7. I saw the band Pink Floyd for the Division Bell Tour at the Rose Bowl in 1994. I also saw Roger Waters solo, he is one of the original band members (he wrote most of their songs but left the band in the early 1980s) in Irvine CA in 1997 or 1998. They are still my favorite band of all time. Just behind them are
2. Lana Del Rey
3. Eminem
4. Metallica
5. Bob Marley
6. Billie Eilish
7. Tupac Shakur
8. Jimi Hendrix
...and so on. I love that you kept watching for Wish You Were Here. Amazing song, and album.
We fans love David Gilmore he is a rock guitar god who can make his guitar sing with so much emotion it tears at your heart. This man can take three notes and make you feel the burden of the world.
You have just entered into the realm of progressive rock genius that is pink floyd best rock band ever I've been a fan for over fifty years can't get enough enjoy yourself believe me it doesn't come any better than this
Literally just saw this pop up! It’s my favorite song ever!! Thank you so much for reacting to it! The words are powerful
Yay! So happy
When I was a senior in high school I ditched school to go see this concert down in Phoenix, Az. One of the best I've ever been to n always been a fan of Pink Floyd ever since I was young. Gotta see them in concert the best
Pink Floyd, up next:
Time (lyrics version)
Comfortably Numb Pulse
The Great Gig in the Sky
Dude your telling her wrong..
Definitely, at some point, do "Comfortably Numb" from the same concert.
David Gilmour might be the greatest guitar player ever, and the solos in Comfortably Numb are the best guitar solos ever "My opinion of course"
Fantastic observation about rock and roll giving musicians room to be artists and allow them to speak through their instruments. 🤘🏻
"i've heard of him" lol!!!
"Or her, whoever it is" :)
Them. Pink Floyd is the name of the band it's a combination of two separate names both early blues musicians. The singers name in the video pluse. 94 ?? Is David Gilmore. The band broke up in late eighties. The other famous singers bass guitariest name is Roger waters
I grew up to this. So powerful
I’m glad you are discovering these wonderful people & songs
Congratulations, you just discovered the greatest band of all time and the best music of all time. Enjoy.
If you're going to do Pink Floyd, please do an entire album, like Dark Side Of The Moon. One of the best bands of all time and probably the best concert experience ever.
I`ve been listening to pink floyd my whole life and I`m 30 years old,you only just scratched the surface of this iconic band,I highly recommend Dark Side of the Moon an listen to whole album!
Probably one of the best concerts in the history of rock.....Pink Floyd Pulse 1994.
James Anderson Hard to top the Animals tour back in the day. I'm still having flash backs from that one.
"Oh by the way, which one's Pink?" Seriously, you've tapped into one of the greatest bands of all time and should listen some more.
Kinda funny that the high note in the guitar solo, comes at 420. "High" note.
glenn brock 🙃 Glenn
@@lynnhoffman247 Hey, where's Sha
glenn brock I don’t know. 🤷♀️
The entire concert is on RUclips....."Delicate Sound of Thunder". The three ladies each take their own ride later in the concert and it's phenomenal! I was lucky to attend their concerts 4 times..... each a sensory overload! Delicate Sound of Thunder gives you a great idea of what it was like. Watch it on a large screen and LOUD!
Every one of their albums tells a story, you should listen to them all. The lyrics show the path and Gilmour's guitar lights the way.
Others commenting below said it all. The circular screen you asked about is part of what they've been using in live shows for decades, and is used for many purposes. I'm glad people are requesting this band. Just a tidbit about this band... Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973 and remained on the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks (14.25 years). Beyond numbers, their work over the decades has been extraordinary, both the music and, in some of their songs like the one you played, in lyric content. With lyrics, some of us believe it's better to think than to feel. Feeling is easy, but thinking takes work. Thanks for posting.
Watch the movie "THE WALL" an experience
Mudinmyeye 2 agreed anyone learning about them should start with the movie The Wall.
Do not tell "TOO SUSHI" and/or anybody, else, what to do, please.
Ever seen Dark side of the moon??
@@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 You just told her what to do though, didn't you?
He makes that guitar sound like a whale calling in the distance, immense.
Listen to The Great Gig In The Sky studio version from Dark Side of The Moon i would love to your reaction to that It'll give you chills. Plus another one from them would be a song called Time from the same album my all time favorite song
Welcome to Pink Floyd. Every song is a chapter in a fifty long year story. It does not matter where you start to listen, the order is there, but not important. it is the same story from beginning to end.
This band is phenomenal and you won't regret hearing a song they have finely crafted.Their study work is far out shined by their live work. They come alive on stage.
Envoy!
Wish You Were Here, is the track at the end... Real quality.
7 days of pink Floyd!!! (Studio versions please)
1. Wish you were here
2. Shine on you crazy diamond
3. Time
4. Hey you.
5. Us and them
6. Another brick in the wall Pt3
7. Comfortably numb - live, delicate sound of thunder
Four words for you, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, look that up on RUclips.
I suggest that you watch the whole pulse concert. I saw it live and have yet to see a concert that comes close. You will be so glad you did because you will experience an incredible journey.
That's a great song just never knew the name lol. Your fans have great taste...👊👍😎
I really enjoyed the smile on your face as you were listening to Dave Gilmore playing! The second song is Wish You Were Here.
"Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?" 😉
I have been to several conserts with Pink Floyd, their music and show was fantastic. They cept it going for more than 30 years with their fantastic music.
This song wasn’t really the best for an introduction to Pink Floyd. Try the Dark Side of the Moon album. Trust me.
Michael Charlesworth great suggestion , Pink Floyd is life altering,👍
Echoes live in pompeii
@@moejoe987654321 Try Comfortably Numb the from the Pulse concert.
Couldn’t disagree more. To me, this live version of OTTA is their peak of work.
There is a movie of the this early concert that this film footage is taken from. There is 2 short interviews with David where the off camera voice asks what David thinks of the criticism the band is to dependent on technology and drugs. David answer's while the camera is close on his face (which is subtaly turning between orange to green and back again...or maybe that was just me) but I doubt that) with all the electronica you see on stage behind (which was a lot for that time period) replys " No...I don't think so." This concert was done in the amphitheater of Pompeii which was empty...so it was performed for the dead of.Pompeii who died in the lava flow from Mount Etna.
My brother took me to a Pink Floyd concert in Chicago when I was twelve. That was in 1979. What a wild experience! Was a fan then, still am.
Oh no you didn’t!!! Ohh noo you didn’t! Just react to a Pink Floyd song once and you be hooked- please for the love of our almighty lord Jesus Christ can you react to Time and Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.. and the album versions of both songs. Love these reactions
Saw them live in 75, Wish You Were Here tour, no warm up band, they played Wish You Were Here, took a break did Echos then Dark Side of the Moon in it's entirety. Amazing...
Girl, if you want a life changing experience, then Pink Floyd will do that for you. I suggest you start at The Dark Side Of The Moon and work your way through Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and many many more. You do not simply listen to Pink Floyd, you EXPERIENCE them. I dare you!! Also, headphones is a MUST.
Cape Town Trike Tours best song is on this video
I'm quite jealous of you, Sushi! Everyone deserves the chance to experience Pink Floyd for the first time!
Older Pink Floyd please. Do anything off Dark Side of the Moon
I remember watching this event broadcast live on TV..... I had it playing on a Teac unlimited amp, pair of Celestion 250W speakers and a pair of 300W PA speakers... Cranked it up and the whole 5 houses owned by my landlord all joined in.... 10 rooms per house 5 houses all playing this at full volume. then everyone accross the street joined in too... A nightclub half a mile away complained as people in their quueue left came down and started partying in the street.. .Police came took 1 look and said there was nothing they could do as there were no complaints from any residents of the street.... What a night! Only Pink Floyd....
Ask yourself : do you really care? If not ; go back to Arianda Granda!
Is not "Granada" a Cigar? (Get it? Have a Cigarianda Granada or do not)
Yep,seen em all 73 Dark side of the moon, to 79 The wall. Very laid back. People sit in their seats, and go nuts at the end of a song. I've been fortunate, and find it amazing, that people are unaware of these masterpieces,but i enjoy seeing your face,because i had that same reaction when I was 13 years old. Enjoy
Girl you gotta get high for this hahaha
Ooh so thats what it is lol
@@TOOSUSHI react to David Gilmour comfortably numb live in Pompeii 2016
You will love this one he's from Pink Floyd the lead singer and guitarist
Ry Ma
No, You really don’t.
That's only for watching The Wall
And dark side
This Concert tour by Pink Floyd was the Best concert out of all the concerts i was at. Saw them at MSG in NYC on October 6th 1987. Momentary Lapse of Reason tour for the album Delicate Sound of Thunder
Pink Flyod concert changed my life. Seen them many times. A must see!
One just doesn't pause in the middle of a solo (specially Pink Floyd) It was like a bucket of ice cold water on my head.!!! Jeeeeeeeezzzz lady.
Sushi Sushi Sushi! This is my favorite band of ALL TIMES! Yes it’s a band not a person lol. This is all atmospherics! On the turning away is about how since before the sixties, we have all been turning away from the needs of the most needy! This song came out in the sixties! It was one of the leading songs for the struggle towards social justice! Please please listen to this band!
Pink Floyd, Gilmour, Comfortably Numb...GOAT
Live Pulse version.
You found a giant rabbit hole to go down. Enjoy your journey through their entire series of albums. FYI I was at this concert during their tour of the midwest. It was a birthday present from spouse at the time.
Watching you react to these songs/videos (some of which you've never heard) is somewhat inspirational, I mean it's so obvious the passion you have for music. It's awesome God bless you.
You can't possibly know what a immense and wonderful rabbit hole you have stepped into by sampling just a piece of PF's music, I hope you enjoy it for the rest of your lifetime! PF always believed that there is just as much music between the notes as the ones being played, therefore the intentional 'space.' Many, many of today's quality bands site "PF as a major influence. Cheers for your journey of discovery!
Nick Mason on drums and Richard wright on keyboard
PINK FLOYD was and still is a Mind Trip without a Map. I sat in my room many nights with just a black light and head phones on staring at my Posters thinking who what where.
Your reaction is so good. It's really truthful. You also have a very calm, down to earth spirit. Greetings from Brazil
Am fortunate enough to see them twice in concert:1st time in the mid 1970’s at Milwaukee County Stadium for the Dark Side of the Moon Tour and 2nd time also at Milwaukee County Stadium for the Animals Tour! The Animals Album Cover has a pig flying between smoke stacks of some building in Europe and during the concert PF had a GIANT inflatable Pig fly over County Stadium with 65,000 plus fans going nuts!
Needless to say those were times I hope to never forget!!!
I was at the 1988 show in Tampa on this tour, I was 17 and it was life changing. I have seen Pink Floyd twice and the shows are epic, legendary, simply the best.
i have seen them in concert best show ever arguably the best band of all times great talent musically and the best lyrics of all time you should listen to alot more of them comfortably numb, great gig in the sky , shine on you crazy diamond . mother , us and them all great and i guarantee you will enjoy
