I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me 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 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. 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, and I know all the great ones.
That's amazing! How did you get backstage? And how old were you? I've always love Dave's rye smile - like there's a joke he's not saying out loud! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for watching! More Floyd coming soon! Cheers
It needs to be the Anthem of Climate Change... But, it is lost to the rubbish bins for most millenials... In the early 90's I listened to this album every day to AND from work.
Pulse is a recording of The Division Bell tour , A Delicate Sound of Thunder is a recording of the A Momentry Lapse of Reason tour. I saw them on the latter , Wembley Stadium, London.
Floyd (or their management anyway) appear to be the worst for putting ads in the middle of their videos! Glad we were able to remove it some seamlessly! 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
Back then, Pink Floyd filled the Earls Court seven times within 14 days always with a day off to check the gigantic equipment and I saw this concert in 1994 in Cologne's soccer stadium, together with 75,000 fans. With my 58 years now I have been to dozens of partly very big concert events but what I was able to experience in Cologne has beaten everything. At that time a good friend of mine lived about 500m as the crow flies and could see the arena directly from his balcony. He told me later, when the block with the encores: Wish you where here, Comfortably Numb - ruclips.net/video/7kWl-ZGMwkQ/видео.html - and especially Run like hell - ruclips.net/video/G2n9_AmDTqY/видео.html - was played, the whole stadium looked from the outside like the colorful glittering spaceship at the end of Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" after landing, because the light show could of course be seen from the outside through the distances between lower, middle and upper stand. After 2 hours of watching and hearing it was clear to me that there is probably no more or better. And of course the overall experience of light and sound is inextricably linked. When the sphere was still closed, it rotated and turned the stadium into a huge disco by the spotlights directed at it. When it opened, lasers were directed at it from various positions, reflected by the mirrors on it, which in turn were reflected back by mirrors fixed around the stadium roof and other mirrors distributed around the stadium near the ground, creating indescribable effects. You can't see this on the concert video because they made these setups only in stadiums and really must have been there because it's literally indescribable ! In the preannouncement of the concert it was promised that, regardless of where one´s position in the stadium is, listen to at least stereo if not even quatro. They implemented this advertising promise in such a comprehensive and impressive way that I will never forget this bombastic sound experience together with this indescribable light show. And to this day, when I hear "Comfortably Numb", especially during the inconceivable 7 minutes long guitar solo i get goose bumps all over my body and it leads me to another dimension ! EVERYTIME ❗️❗️❗️👍
Hi, thanks for sharing that - it's great! Yes, there's never a bad seat when you see Floyd (or Roger Waters these days for that matter)! Lots more to come! Cheers!
David gets sounds out of his guitar that are insane. When I use my trem bar and I don't get that sound for sure! Your experience at the short gig reminded me of when I saw Alice Cooper in the early 70's and during the third song somebody threw a big firecracker on stage and the guitar player was injured a bit. They didn't come back for many years.
I saw this same show 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 frogged 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… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. 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.
I went to a Pulse concert in 94 when I was stationed in Germany. It was at Heidelberg on an undulating car raceway. They put that huge stage at the bottom of one of the hills. There were over 140K people in attendance! The production was amazing and laser light display out of this world! At the time I thought it was a bit expensive, but I got my money's worth! Every penny! Looking back, I realize how glad I am to have witnessed such a unique and spectacular rock performance! I have the double album and every time I listen to it I smile and I'm moved once again by just how great it was!
Yes, I think my ticket was 25 pounds and that was considered expensive! Crazy to think that now! Yes, you always got your money's worth with Floyd (And still do with Roger Waters)! Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon. Cheers
So wonderful watching your reaction Rachael. I have listened to that song perhaps a 1000 times, and many ways, it was my song for years. The Solo is phenomenal, and is right up there with "On the Turning Away" and Comfortably Numb"
i was at their AMLOR tour before pulse of which the same setup was used, and this was awesome, its a show stopper, you just feel amazed and overwhelmed and that you have seen something special, true control of a guitar, this is said to be Gilmours favourite guitar solo to play and that he created, said by him!
Sorrow is like an out of control jugganuat absolutely fantastic they call pink Floyd a rock band I would say they were inavators in my day I'm seventy two we called it progressive rock once you listen to Floyd your hooked in the best possible way fabulous great reaction
The sorrow of losing, i.e., destroying our paradise (Earth). What a powerful song and show; you really have to be in the audience to get the full and mesmerizing effect of the lasers. And no one makes such artful use of massive-yet-musical feedback as Mr. Gilmour and his Stratocaster.
Thanks for watching the ad's as they really tend to piss me off cutting in on Pink Floyd. Totally kills the whole experience. Learning to live with it though it's tough.
I saw Floyd in '87 at the gone but not forgotten JFK Stadium in Philly. 100,000+ people there that night. At the end of "On The Run" they flew a German Stuka over the stadium; what an amazing show.
Pink Floyd music has bled into my soul since the early 70's and nothing I say can do justice to David Gilmour's lifelong craft, so I'll use his own words ... "Don't be afraid to let a note self destruct." So evident in this song! When A Momentary Lapse of Reason was released, my first temptation was to buy it immediately. Instead I was treated to tickets to this very show for my birthday and got to experience it live and be blown away with the rest of the planet. When it was over, the entire parking garage was filled with the sounds of Comfortably Numb being played on a local Atlanta radio station, wafting from every car. What a magical night ❤ Which brings me to another David Gilmour quote ... "Pink Floyd was always meant to be a complete sensory experience." The fact that it continues to be so speaks volumes for their foresight, timeless quality and longevity.
The entire Pulse concert is highly synchronized with the lights and music. Synchronizing the lights and music magnifies and amplifies the emotion in the performances. Pink Floyd puts more production into one song performance than most bands will put into an entire conceet.
I've watched these PULSE shows and reactions hundreds of times now. I still get chill bumps. And that was the 1st I've heard of the seating collapse. THANK YOU. It would have been magical to be there. No better shows of PF (except for Echoes from Gdansk). Keep it up. I can see that look in your eyes just watching this. Amazing.
Thanks! And thanks for watching - more Floyd coming soon! We are heading into the way Back Machine for the next one :) Feel free to Sub to keep up to date on new Vids. Cheers
It was a great tour, wasn't it? Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon. Feel free to Sub in order to keep up to date (if you haven't already). Thanks!
I was also there,the night after the seating collapsed in the circle. I remember everyone streaming out and on to the tube,stunned by what we had all just witnessed. Seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts and shows,but THIS one was the best I ever attended,and I was at Isle of Wight 1970 and saw the doors and Hendrix!!
I First saw them in 1972 and seen them quite a few times through the years and was privileged to see the Pulse Tour 1994 in London. As Fadi said try Comfortably Numb, still brings tears to my eyes after all these years.
Great reaction! The Pulse tour at Earl's Court had a bigger and better light show than the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour for A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987, but that was still a great show that is more than most bands use even today! Even the sound at the concerts were amazing! They had surround sound that circled the stadium 360 degrees! Nice picture and sound on your channel btw! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! And thanks for watching. Yes the DSOT show at London Docklands was amazing too - that was my first Floyd concert at the age of 16 and it BLEW MY MIND! Lots more Floyd to come! Feel free to Sub in order to keep up to date. Thanks again for the kind words. Cheers
I sincerely admire good and respectfully good listeners who can give their opinion after a carefull listening appreciating such a good great band as Pink Floyd is . You two have my respect
Many thanks! Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon (And if you haven't already check out our Floyd & Co playlist for more tracks we've listened to). Cheers
@@RDMusicExchange it was close to the same, but the encore was different, and I think they slipped a couple extra songs into the second night, the show seemed longer, but I was 16 when I went to that show, so some of the details are a bit cloudy, no to mention I was also very "cloudy" for that show :)
@@iplaybass6690 Cool. The second time around (on the redo) they started with Astronomy Domine instead of Shine On. Which was cool, but i prefer it when they start with Shine On. They did Shine On at the start of the second set before they did the whole of Dark Side. Still awesome. I was pretty "cloudy" too :)
Thank you for reacting to this amazing live performance! This is probably my favorite song from the Pulse concert. I love how the whole band comes together and just builds and builds. As for future reactions, I recommend checking out the live version of 'On the Turning Away' from the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. (Also, I love the Gilmour T-shirt!). :)
I was there at one date in 94, also seen them at Wembley in 88. Also seen Roger do The Wall in Germany in 90, Dark Side Of The Moon in 07, and The Wall in 14 :)
Lol... D is reliving the show. Must be awesome to share with a first time listener, must've been an awesome atmosphere man. Rachel, "getting old" 😂 love the reaction, awesome guys
As someone else has also commented - "Comfortably Numb" from the same concert is a must see. It features what may be one of the most powerful and emotional guitar solos ever filmed. It is far more than just a song - it is a spiritual experience.
Another great reaction (I'm watching these all out of order). I was there on the 20th, front and centre, four rows from the stage. The heat from the pyros and floor level 'tumbling' lights during Run Like Hell was something to behold! :-) Although Genesis have, and always will be, my main musical passion, I think that this show will always be right up there as one of my favourite gigs.
Unsung heroes of this performance and the Division Bell tour: Guy Pratt, Gary Wallis, Tim Renwick, Jon Carin, Durga McBroom, Claudia Fontaine and of course, the one and only Sam Brown. 💕
Great reaction. I loved seeing the change in Rach's expression - intially doubtful following her "Dogs" experience, moving to interested on the first note, to obviously enjoying the bulk of the songt, to really "wowed" with David Gilmour's solo. Looking forward to your review of Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert!
I'm quite partial to it myself mate, but it's far from my favourite. I think this track from Pulse is sheer brilliance as, in fact, is the whole Pulse concert. Comfortably Numb is probably the most reviewed song on the internet and it's great but there are plenty more from Pulse - check out High Hopes. I think that'll be one she likes too. Tell her it's a strong recommendation from a fellow Aussie!
They sold out this show 15 nights in a row at Earls Court! Also if you like vocalizing do "On the Turning Away" same concert! David Gilmour has a very underrated voice when it comes to his singing and I think that song will show it! So does the song "Wish You Were Here" same concert! In fact any song during that Pulse concert at Earls Court is amazing! As a final note show her Pink Floyd live "Echoes 1971 Pompeii"! Just do the part 1 Section I think she would like it!!
Sorry to disagree but I was at Earl's Court and they didn't do On the Turning Away which made me kind of sad as it's one of my favourite tracks. There's plenty of videos from previous tours when they did do it such as Delicate Sound of Thunder, here: ruclips.net/video/htM3FN1YQ_c/видео.html brilliant track.
@@ianbrooke6342 I agree they didn't do on the Turning Away at Earls Court! The sold-out shows and On the Turning Away are two separate issues here. They did On the Turning Away in their momentary lapse of Reason tour. I was figuring the person doing the reactions could figure that out. Not a big deal and not arguing here just straightening out what I meant!
I too was at this concert near the front on the left. Amazing....nearly didn't go because I found Division Bell a bit repetitive. After my friend persuaded I got into both the album and the the live Pulse version. Up with Clapton at Hyde Park in terms of being effected if you know what I mean x
Awesome! Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Division Bell either (and am still not to be honest), but I was always going to go to the gig :) Thanks for watching - more to come soon!
If you were up close, that whole stage arc filled your field of view, and the laser triangles are rising up above you. And that spinning, rotating disc felt like it was hovering over you. You felt as enveloped by the stage as by the music.
I play guitar and have never played on stage. I have thought if if i was able to play a pros guitar rig it would be his The tone and presence his guitar playing has is one of the best
You were at the Earls Court gig that seats collapsed, I couldn't get tickets but coz it was rearranged I got tickets for that concert as ppl couldn't get back to the rearranged gig, so due to the cancellation I got to go to the rearranged concert, so thank you ppl who couldn't go to the 1st one and they played an extra half hour to apologise 💙💙💙
Not sure if Earl's Court was the end of the tour, I thought it was the start! Either way this certainly was not the last night at Earl's Court, I was there on the night after this filming and that night was just as great, truly amazing performance. If you want a great light show don't miss the closing number "Run Like Hell".
The intro somehow reminds me of the sf movie "Bladerunner" 1982 ( Vangelis). I want to ask David Gilmour about the Pulse gig. Was he aware of this outstanding performance? If not, I`m glad nobody woked him from the trance. Rest of the band is not to be forgotten of course.
Yes, the intro is amazing, and yes I see what you mean about Vangelis (I love that movie and soundtrack). I'm not sure he was ever aware just how amazing is was/is! Lots more Floyd to come - feel free to sub to keep up to date. Thanks for watching!
Try Rach with some Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson she might like that too! THE RAVEN WHO REFUSED TO SING, ROUTINE , ANAESTHETISE. Most of Gdańsk is excellent with Gilmour. BIG BIG TRAIN - THE TRANSIT OF VENUS ACROSS THE SUN or EAST COAST RACER. All great stuff
Oh man.... your story takes me back to when I was at theatre school - a fellow student I was with there went to that exact Earls Court gig and was in the actual block that collapsed. He was uninjured but spoke fondly of the Pink Floyd "Block G, Row 43" tee shirt (or whatever it actually was). Your video is the first time in nearly 30 years that his story has been corroborated! Thank you for that!!!! Separately from that story, great little channel you've got going here (I'm a sub by the way). I've been following you for a couple of weeks and really enjoying your content, not least because you're UK based! I hope your sub count grows, and that Rach gets to enjoy some great music. Groove you say? Hmmmm, King's X ticks both boxes. Maybe we could do a collaboration at some point! Certainly the time difference wouldn't be an issue!!! Good stuff, keep it up! Lots of love, Jim :)
Thanks Jim! Great to hear the T-Shirt part of the story is true (I'd only read that recently)! Thanks for watching, and the sub - please spread the word! More great tunes to come soon! (Also, we are actually based in Sydney, but yes, I'm from the UK originally and Rach lived there for many years). Cheers!
My brother was at the same gig as you, i was there a couple of days later. In the end after the stand colapsed i got to see Floyd before my big brother 🤘😎
I have a little hidden gem for you guys to look at if you are still doing this gig. Last October I went to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets performing here in a suburb of Detroit. Nick is still working his deft magic on the drums and it was a bloody AMAZING concert. They performed late 60's and early 70's Floyd music. As good as every song was, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" was the gem of the show. They have put out an official video of the song and it is every bit as good on the tablet/big screen TV as it was Live, with the exception of being thoroughly bombarded by 100 decibels of pure magic. Roger Waters has even come out on stage and stated that Nick and his current band play it better than Pink Floyd ever did back in the day...
New Pink Floyd , and also an well successful attempt to be modern, as 90/2000 brought new models of music., I love the live version. From 'Delicate' and 'Pulse' , too. To me, it sounds as rectilinear noise....
Check out COMFORTABLY NUMB and also RUN LIKE HELL, both LIVE from the PULSE CONCERT (1994). The extended guitar solos and spectacular light show combine for unforgettable performances.
Rachel is a keeper! 💕 I once played Comfortably Numb to a girlfriend that I once HAD as we were driving to a nice restaurant. Well after listening to it, she turned to me with a bewildered face and asked, "You actually like that song?" That is when I slowly pulled over the vehicle and came to a stop. I gently grabbed my door and opened it. I walked calmly over to her side of the vehicle and gently opened the car door for her and kindly said, "Peace Out Girl!"
Haha, I have a '63 Gilmour Academy shirt as well. I've only had one person know what it stands for and ask. Usually nobody even asks. Bravo! Saw them in '75 DSOTM/Wish You We're Here Tour. Still #1 best show I've seen!
@@RDMusicExchange Your bugging me while I'm watching your "Dogs" Vid? (Am teasing!), but I am watching your Vid right now! Might even muster a "Subscibe" in there too! Take care!
New subscriber here... Check out "One of These Days" from Pulse: Live...👍😎 I missed going to this concert tour in order to keep my job (quit 3 months later), UGH!!! Perhaps one of my biggest regrets during my 53 years on this dusty little ball... I had always pictured the "plumes of smoke merging into the leaden skies" to be burning villages or tanks from war. I have come to learn it is about how we abuse this planet that we have to call home.

Delicate Sound of Perfection
Goosebumps every time
This is a showcase of Gilmour's ability to wring every bit of emotion out of his guitar.
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me 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.

Sorrow is definitely my favourite Floyd song of the entire Gilmour era. Hugely underrated masterpiece.
100% agree! Thanks for watching!
It needs to be the Anthem of Climate Change... But, it is lost to the rubbish bins for most millenials... In the early 90's I listened to this album every day to AND from work.
Gilmour era? What is ?
@@Ombometrico Molto simpatico
I completely agree, but there is a hidden gem on DSoT that is a very close second place for me. I love "Yet Another Movie"...
I'm 65 and seen this great Band live 3 times in Denver Colorado and they always killed it! Man those were the days! Love and Peace😃
You must watch from the same concert, Comfortably Numb. The 2nd half of song is David killing that guitar. I subscribed
It's on the list :). Thanks for watching!
Just remember not to pause during the second solo.
@@neilhaydock5553 not to pause at all. Over excited reactions.
Pulse is a recording of The Division Bell tour , A Delicate Sound of Thunder is a recording of the A Momentry Lapse of Reason tour. I saw them on the latter , Wembley Stadium, London.
Yep.'I was lucky enough to see both tours. I saw DSOT was at the London Docklands Arena (which doesn't exist anymore).

1994 Clemson Stadium best show I've ever been to by far!!! Great reaction!
I must listen to Floyd everyday. What masters. Attention to every detail is legendary. Mere words fail to describe.
Agreed!
I do too, everyday. 🌈💗
Same here...and there's another with I love about Gilmour. He has not only a great voice...but you can understand him when he sings.
Back then, Pink Floyd filled the Earls Court seven times within 14 days always with a day off to check the gigantic equipment and I saw this concert in 1994 in Cologne's soccer stadium, together with 75,000 fans.

Dee, Can't believe you had Rach listen to this without outlining the narrative.
Sometimes its good just to enjoy the track/performance for what it is. :) Thanks for watching.
The “narrative” is everything that enters the eyes and ears. No need to get all fixated on words.

Nice that they made some money on their tours after The Wall :)

I've watched these PULSE shows and reactions hundreds of times now. I still get chill bumps. And that was the 1st I've heard of the seating collapse. THANK YOU. It would have been magical to be there. No better shows of PF (except for Echoes from Gdansk). Keep it up. I can see that look in your eyes just watching this. Amazing.
Thanks! And thanks for watching - more Floyd coming soon! We are heading into the way Back Machine for the next one :) Feel free to Sub to keep up to date on new Vids. Cheers
Seen the tour. And I’ve been to many concerts. This by far is still one of my favorites.
It was a great tour, wasn't it? Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon. Feel free to Sub in order to keep up to date (if you haven't already). Thanks!
I was also there,the night after the seating collapsed in the circle.
I remember everyone streaming out and on to the tube,stunned by what we had all just witnessed.
Seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts and shows,but THIS one was the best I ever attended,and I was at Isle of Wight 1970 and saw the doors and Hendrix!!
It was crazy right? Thanks for watching mate.
I First saw them in 1972 and seen them quite a few times through the years and was privileged to see the Pulse Tour 1994 in London. As Fadi said try Comfortably Numb, still brings tears to my eyes after all these years.
Hi, thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon - and Comfortably Numb is on the list.
Would LOVE to have seen them back in the day!
Cheers
Great reaction! The Pulse tour at Earl's Court had a bigger and better light show than the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour for A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987, but that was still a great show that is more than most bands use even today! Even the sound at the concerts were amazing! They had surround sound that circled the stadium 360 degrees! Nice picture and sound on your channel btw! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! And thanks for watching. Yes the DSOT show at London Docklands was amazing too - that was my first Floyd concert at the age of 16 and it BLEW MY MIND!
Lots more Floyd to come! Feel free to Sub in order to keep up to date. Thanks again for the kind words. Cheers
Another great song from this show is High Hopes. Superb song live..
It is indeed! Thanks for watching! More Floyd to come soon. Feel free to Sub in order to keep up to date.
Thanks again.
I sincerely admire good and respectfully good listeners who can give their opinion after a carefull listening appreciating such a good great band as Pink Floyd is . You two have my respect
Many thanks!
Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon (And if you haven't already check out our Floyd & Co playlist for more tracks we've listened to).
Cheers
If you like this, please listen to the "live at Pompeii" version. Its way better.
I went to this show in Vancouver BC in 94, went both days, couldn't see them just once, such an amazing experience....excellent choice
Where did they play in Vancouver?
@@lovejetfuel4071 British Columbia Place Stadium June 25th-26th 1994
That would have been awesome - did they do the same set both nights? I know they had two sets they used on that tour.
@@RDMusicExchange it was close to the same, but the encore was different, and I think they slipped a couple extra songs into the second night, the show seemed longer, but I was 16 when I went to that show, so some of the details are a bit cloudy, no to mention I was also very "cloudy" for that show :)
@@iplaybass6690 Cool. The second time around (on the redo) they started with Astronomy Domine instead of Shine On. Which was cool, but i prefer it when they start with Shine On. They did Shine On at the start of the second set before they did the whole of Dark Side. Still awesome. I was pretty "cloudy" too :)
Thank you for reacting to this amazing live performance! This is probably my favorite song from the Pulse concert. I love how the whole band comes together and just builds and builds. As for future reactions, I recommend checking out the live version of 'On the Turning Away' from the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. (Also, I love the Gilmour T-shirt!). :)
Thanks for the suggestions! Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Was there. Every head was bobbing on this song. You can't help it.
1st like 1st comment😁 this is the 1st time on RUclips I achieved this😁
Edit: 3:17 I wish I could see this with my own eyes.. Must be amazing
Ha! Well done - thanks for watching!
I was there at one date in 94, also seen them at Wembley in 88.
Also seen Roger do The Wall in Germany in 90, Dark Side Of The Moon in 07, and The Wall in 14 :)
Awesome! Thanks for watching - More Floyd to come soon. Cheers
Lol... D is reliving the show. Must be awesome to share with a first time listener, must've been an awesome atmosphere man. Rachel, "getting old" 😂 love the reaction, awesome guys
As someone else has also commented - "Comfortably Numb" from the same concert is a must see. It features what may be one of the most powerful and emotional guitar solos ever filmed. It is far more than just a song - it is a spiritual experience.
Yep - it's on the list :) Thanks for watching - more Floyd coming soon!
Great reaction, I could see you were enjoying, specially on her face. Bravo
Thanks mate, and thanks for watching.
Another great reaction (I'm watching these all out of order). I was there on the 20th, front and centre, four rows from the stage. The heat from the pyros and floor level 'tumbling' lights during Run Like Hell was something to behold! :-) Although Genesis have, and always will be, my main musical passion, I think that this show will always be right up there as one of my favourite gigs.
That would have been amazing!!!!
Thanks for checking out our little videos!
Unsung heroes of this performance and the Division Bell tour: Guy Pratt, Gary Wallis, Tim Renwick, Jon Carin, Durga McBroom, Claudia Fontaine and of course, the one and only Sam Brown. 💕
Gary Wallis is one of my all time favorite drummers. His energy and agility are fantastic.
Great reaction. I loved seeing the change in Rach's expression - intially doubtful following her "Dogs" experience, moving to interested on the first note, to obviously enjoying the bulk of the songt, to really "wowed" with David Gilmour's solo. Looking forward to your review of Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert!
Thanks Rob. In hindsight I probably should have started with this track, but there you go! I just love DOGS! :)
I'm quite partial to it myself mate, but it's far from my favourite. I think this track from Pulse is sheer brilliance as, in fact, is the whole Pulse concert. Comfortably Numb is probably the most reviewed song on the internet and it's great but there are plenty more from Pulse - check out High Hopes. I think that'll be one she likes too. Tell her it's a strong recommendation from a fellow Aussie!
They sold out this show 15 nights in a row at Earls Court! Also if you like vocalizing do "On the Turning Away" same concert! David Gilmour has a very underrated voice when it comes to his singing and I think that song will show it! So does the song "Wish You Were Here" same concert! In fact any song during that Pulse concert at Earls Court is amazing!
As a final note show her Pink Floyd live "Echoes 1971 Pompeii"! Just do the part 1 Section I think she would like it!!
Thanks mate - So many great tracks to choose from. Next up will be something from Pompeii......
Sorry to disagree but I was at Earl's Court and they didn't do On the Turning Away which made me kind of sad as it's one of my favourite tracks. There's plenty of videos from previous tours when they did do it such as Delicate Sound of Thunder, here: ruclips.net/video/htM3FN1YQ_c/видео.html brilliant track.
@@ianbrooke6342 I agree they didn't do on the Turning Away at Earls Court! The sold-out shows and On the Turning Away are two separate issues here. They did On the Turning Away in their momentary lapse of Reason tour. I was figuring the person doing the reactions could figure that out. Not a big deal and not arguing here just straightening out what I meant!
@@ianbrooke6342 They had two sets that would alternate between. One of them included On The Turning Away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Division_Bell_Tour
There are those who play guitar... And there is David Gilmour.
One of a very tiny number of bands/artists that often sound better live than in the studio, and the Pulse tour is the absolute peak. Just saying ❤️👍
It is amazing.
Did see Pink Floyd @MSG October of 1987 near the very beginning of A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour (1987-1989)
That was the first tour I saw them too - an amazing show!
Thanks for watching!
I too was at this concert near the front on the left. Amazing....nearly didn't go because I found Division Bell a bit repetitive. After my friend persuaded I got into both the album and the the live Pulse version. Up with Clapton at Hyde Park in terms of being effected if you know what I mean x
Awesome!
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Division Bell either (and am still not to be honest), but I was always going to go to the gig :)
Thanks for watching - more to come soon!
If you were up close, that whole stage arc filled your field of view, and the laser triangles are rising up above you. And that spinning, rotating disc felt like it was hovering over you. You felt as enveloped by the stage as by the music.
Pretty amazing, right?
Thanks for watching!
Cheers
@@RDMusicExchange It was fun watching her go from mildly skeptical to fully enjoying the exchange of energy between the musicians.
I play guitar and have never played on stage. I have thought if if i was able to play a pros guitar rig it would be his The tone and presence his guitar playing has is one of the best
100%! Thanks for watching!
You were at the Earls Court gig that seats collapsed, I couldn't get tickets but coz it was rearranged I got tickets for that concert as ppl couldn't get back to the rearranged gig, so due to the cancellation I got to go to the rearranged concert, so thank you ppl who couldn't go to the 1st one and they played an extra half hour to apologise 💙💙💙
Every cloud and all that!
Forget that they played extra! Thanks!
Thanks for watching - more Floyd coming soon.
Cheers
Imagine performing and welding so much captivating power. David is the Stratocaster Master. The vocals though. Damn.
Amazing!
Not sure if Earl's Court was the end of the tour, I thought it was the start! Either way this certainly was not the last night at Earl's Court, I was there on the night after this filming and that night was just as great, truly amazing performance. If you want a great light show don't miss the closing number "Run Like Hell".
Hi, Earl's Court was the end of the tour, but you're right the last night was the 29th, not the 20th (on which this was filmed)
The intro somehow reminds me of the sf movie "Bladerunner" 1982 ( Vangelis). I want to ask David Gilmour about the Pulse gig. Was he aware of this outstanding performance? If not, I`m glad nobody woked him from the trance. Rest of the band is not to be forgotten of course.
Yes, the intro is amazing, and yes I see what you mean about Vangelis (I love that movie and soundtrack). I'm not sure he was ever aware just how amazing is was/is!
Lots more Floyd to come - feel free to sub to keep up to date.
Thanks for watching!
also, Run Like Hell, Coming Back to Life etc. etc. The whole concert is amazing.
Thanks! Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon!
this is without doubt the finest moment i have seen.....Gilmore unleashed and at his best....and this song....just wow
Totally! Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon :). Feel Free to Sub to keep up to date. Cheers
Prague October 1994, 130.000 audience. Magic. Life experience!
Wow - that would have been amazing! Thanks for watching - more Floyd to come soon. Feel free to Sub to keep up to date. Cheers
Rach might like "Shine on Crazy Diamond ".
She might indeed.......:)
Thanks for watching!
Try Rach with some Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson she might like that too! THE RAVEN WHO REFUSED TO SING, ROUTINE , ANAESTHETISE. Most of Gdańsk is excellent with Gilmour. BIG BIG TRAIN - THE TRANSIT OF VENUS ACROSS THE SUN or EAST COAST RACER. All great stuff
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching - lots of cool stuff on the way :)
Oh man.... your story takes me back to when I was at theatre school - a fellow student I was with there went to that exact Earls Court gig and was in the actual block that collapsed. He was uninjured but spoke fondly of the Pink Floyd "Block G, Row 43" tee shirt (or whatever it actually was). Your video is the first time in nearly 30 years that his story has been corroborated! Thank you for that!!!!
Separately from that story, great little channel you've got going here (I'm a sub by the way). I've been following you for a couple of weeks and really enjoying your content, not least because you're UK based! I hope your sub count grows, and that Rach gets to enjoy some great music. Groove you say? Hmmmm, King's X ticks both boxes. Maybe we could do a collaboration at some point! Certainly the time difference wouldn't be an issue!!! Good stuff, keep it up! Lots of love, Jim :)
Thanks Jim! Great to hear the T-Shirt part of the story is true (I'd only read that recently)!
Thanks for watching, and the sub - please spread the word!
More great tunes to come soon!
(Also, we are actually based in Sydney, but yes, I'm from the UK originally and Rach lived there for many years). Cheers!
@@RDMusicExchange doh!!! Yup, we couldn’t be further apart, The time difference would be killer!!!! Never mind. My bad!
@@JimNewstead All good mate! :)
Coming Back To Life or Us And Them , really any song from this show is amazing.
Yep - we'll no doubt be back to this gig at some point in the future. More Floyd to come soon. Thanks for watching. Cheers
@@RDMusicExchange tjats does it , subscribing now.
A credit to Ms Guy Pratt on bass.. He's fantastic.... This concert was a festival of lights indeed
He is great.
Thanks for watching!
My brother was at the same gig as you, i was there a couple of days later. In the end after the stand colapsed i got to see Floyd before my big brother 🤘😎
Ha - Im' sure he was a gutted as I was to not see the opening night! :)
Thanks for watching, more Floyd to come soon. Cheers
Remember it well, how gutted were we man? Tune!!!!
Totally!
Me again. Thank you for the story around the gig, very interesting. " I iwish I was there".
You're very welcome! :)
Awesome reaction 💯👌...loved ya story of your minute and half concert 😆...New Sub
Thanks! And thanks for watching :)
High hopes at the same concert. If I remember correctly it’s after this song. That will melt you face.
It's on the list - thanks for watching!
Cheers
Everything kinda just falls into place like a puzzle with their music
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
I have a little hidden gem for you guys to look at if you are still doing this gig. Last October I went to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets performing here in a suburb of Detroit. Nick is still working his deft magic on the drums and it was a bloody AMAZING concert. They performed late 60's and early 70's Floyd music. As good as every song was, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" was the gem of the show. They have put out an official video of the song and it is every bit as good on the tablet/big screen TV as it was Live, with the exception of being thoroughly bombarded by 100 decibels of pure magic. Roger Waters has even come out on stage and stated that Nick and his current band play it better than Pink Floyd ever did back in the day...
New Pink Floyd , and also an well successful attempt to be modern, as 90/2000 brought new models of music., I love the live version. From 'Delicate' and 'Pulse' , too. To me, it sounds as rectilinear noise....
Thanks mate - and thanks for watching. Cheers.
@@RDMusicExchange cheers
Gilmore's finest hour! He completely tore it up!!
Yep!
Thanks for watching!
Check out COMFORTABLY NUMB and also RUN LIKE HELL, both LIVE from the PULSE CONCERT (1994). The extended guitar solos and spectacular light show combine for unforgettable performances.
They are on the list :). Thanks for watching!
I was also there, sitting not far from the collapsed seating, just hoping we were not going the same way.
That would have been terrifying!
I’m in love with the Aussie redhead chick. You’re punchin way above your weight mate 😋
Thanks....I think.... :)
Thanks for the interesting story! And by the way - you have a great t-shirt. I want him!
Thanks - and thanks for watching!
Rachel is a keeper! 💕
I once played Comfortably Numb to a girlfriend that I once HAD as we were driving to a nice restaurant. Well after listening to it, she turned to me with a bewildered face and asked, "You actually like that song?" That is when I slowly pulled over the vehicle and came to a stop. I gently grabbed my door and opened it. I walked calmly over to her side of the vehicle and gently opened the car door for her and kindly said, "Peace Out Girl!"
😆
Well played, sir. 👏🏻
Haha, I have a '63 Gilmour Academy shirt as well. I've only had one person know what it stands for and ask. Usually nobody even asks.
Bravo! Saw them in '75 DSOTM/Wish You We're Here Tour. Still #1 best show I've seen!
Awesome! I would have loved to have seen them at that time!
I'm very happy with my shirt - those who know know ;)
I saw this Tour (Indianapollis) in '94 it was Epic!
It was so good, right?! Thanks for watching!
@@RDMusicExchange Your bugging me while I'm watching your "Dogs" Vid? (Am teasing!), but I am watching your Vid right now! Might even muster a "Subscibe" in there too! Take care!
Please watch some Epica live video! If Rach likes vocals she will be fascinated!
Thanks - we'll check it out!
Thanks for watching!
Dave gilmore still hasn't brought his drummer a ladder great track great reaction pink Floyd absolutely fabulous try echoes my favorite track enjoy
Thanks! It's on the list :) Thanks for watching! More Floyd to come soon
I’d be interested to see both of your reaction to Stevie Ray Vaughan life without you live at the cotton club.
I love SRV, and am planning on showing some to Rach in the future. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.
New subscriber here... Check out "One of These Days" from Pulse: Live...👍😎
I missed going to this concert tour in order to keep my job (quit 3 months later), UGH!!! Perhaps one of my biggest regrets during my 53 years on this dusty little ball...
I had always pictured the "plumes of smoke merging into the leaden skies" to be burning villages or tanks from war. I have come to learn it is about how we abuse this planet that we have to call home.
Hi - thanks for watching and for the sub. I think you'll like the next Floyd vid we do ;)
@@RDMusicExchange Watched, great choice of the OLD SCHOOL version. Thank you
Her pretty smile says it all!
Between this, Comfortably Numb, Shine on ..., and On The Turning Away ... and so many others - very little to choose.
Cheers - they are on the list! Thanks for watching!
Where did u get the Gilmore t shirt at
Internet
Smiling the whole time!!!
We had a good time! :)
Thanks for watching!
You should also react to Keep Talking from Pulse. It's the genius of David Gilmour finding a new level.
It's on the list :)
Thanks
Try also the live version from Pompeii 2016
Thanks. Will do.
Thanks for watching.
Cheers
