Fun fact: one of my neighbours is a typical, soft spoken English gent, approaching his 80's. His name is Brian Humphries. He happened to be the sound engineer for 3 of Floyd's albums, including Dark Side of thr Moon, as well as other bands. Recently, a TV documentary was made about the making of the album, in which Brian played a large role.
"It's like you're floating through space" No, no..."Comfortably Numb" is floating on a calm sea. _"Shine On You Crazy Diamond"_ is floating through space!😉🙃
I'm a guitarist myself so i'll speak out on this: 1: She's a vocal artist, not a guitarist. She's here to analyse vocals and give opinion. 2. If you don't like it, piss off.
As an opera singer you should definitely react to Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" from Dark Side of the Moon. And then you should learn the history behind the female singer doing that gig. It's epic stuff. Edit: But do the original studio version. Here she does it single-handedly, while it usually takes three singers to sing the same part in the concerts.
@@timl8302 Yes. As our vocal chords get older, they loose their elasticity a little, shutting off the highest notes. For example, compare Kate Bush's voice on her first album with that on "50 Words for Snow" from 2011.
@@sneakyfox4651 True, even with Geddy Lee. I saw one reaction video of old vs new Ann Wilson (Heart) It is just time is more friendlier to some more than others.
I was lucky enough to be there and the whole concert was simply amazing. There will never be anything like it again. Pink Floyd made music for ALL the senses.
My late father took me to one of these residence gigs at Earls Court when I was 15. First ever concert! Blew me away, only time I saw my dad cry was at this solo. Magical.
His voice is angelic. Not the most technical but most certainly one of the most beautiful. His voice countered Waters' voice, with whom, brought the insanity to the beauty. The darkness and the light. They were and will always be, one of a kind.
The venue held 20,000 and they sold out all 14 nights in a matter of days. I was there the night this was filmed. I also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam and they will live with me till my dying day.
This is the perfect example of a master of an instrument. David Gilmour is one of the best ever!! You don't just listed to Pink Floyd's music, you don't just watch a concert, you experience it!
Worked this show! 42 dubbel semi trailers ,lights and sound, brought to that venue! Including staging 60 trailer trucks, 3 days 3 shifts, just a little fun fact!❣
I’m loving your reaction to Floyd. When you say it’s so different and unlike anything else, you are spot on. It’s real music by real musicians played live with no auto tune. Their concerts were a spectacle to behold, some had massive inflatable animals floating around, planes flying around and all sorts. Their music is very much based around a concept and are meant to be consumed as an album, just like a novel is made from many chapters. Hope you watch some more, you have a great channel, thank you.
Saw it live at Earls Court London... was not sober. Maggie what had happened before had blown everyone to pieces this was just the icing on the cake. We even had a plane fly over our heads and crash in a ball of flame at the side of the stage.
I've listened to and played along to this song dozens of times, but I've never heard the idea that at 14:54 (my favourite section of that solo by far) we have the sound of a warning siren. What a novel interpretation! Go Maggie. Great reaction video - looking forward to more. Subbed
The two vocal styles are two different voices: first is the "doctor" who's job it is to get the hero, Pink, ready for the show. The second voice is that of Pink who is trying to explain that his outward persona is not his real self.
I saw the “Wall” concert at the LA Forum when I was in high school when the album was released (this song was on that album). This was Pink Floyd’s version of a Rock Opera. The orb (disco ball) had several different meanings and representations, you can look up the facts around that part of the show, but it wasn’t part of the Wall concert. This song, was one of those songs that took off on its own and morphed into a “parallel universe” that takes us on this journey that only a Pink Floyd song can do. Until I learned the alternate tuning on Mr. Gilmore’s guitar of the two solos, I pulled my hair out trying to learn it. Then after I learned the tuning secret, it still took me at least three years to even come close. It never dawned on me why Mr. Gilmore never struck a note on the guitar during the song until the solos. There are no chord shapes that can be transposed with that alternate tuning. Loved your reaction to this song… I’ve been told it has an even better groove after a hit of a purple micro dot. I don’t know 🤷♂️ for sure but I have this friend….
Maggies livin in the wrong era......to know about purple micro dot. I haven't heard that name since the 70s early 80s. All I remember is laughing until my sides hurt & thinking a 10 min Bugs Bunny cartoon lasted for hrs🤣😎

"Leo Fender invented the Stratocaster. God created David Gilmour to play it." - Unknown "Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas." - Unknown "David Gilmour can do more with one note than most guitarists can do with the entire fretboard." - Dave Mustain, Megadeth
When I was a student in the mid '70s there was a standing joke that in every Hall of Residence and at all time, someone was playing either Dark side of the Moon or Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells". Both masterpieces but my fav. Floyd is "Wish you were here".
I saw them on this tour. It was stunning. That disco ball was really cool. Pink Floyd often conveyed a light, airy feel as though you're floating up in the clouds, which is what we get in this song. It amazes me, watching all these reaction channels... hard to believe there are so many people who've never heard all these great bands/songs that I've loved for so many decades, some my entire life. How is all this classic music also so obscure? I always think everyone knows all this music.
Still waiting to see you react to "Great Gig In The Sky." PLEASE, do the album version, NOT the live ones on youtube. Claire Torry's original was a two take improv. There is a version of her doing it live, many years later, but the lightning in the bottle is on the original track. Other versions use two or three singers to cover her.
I was at that concert. The old Earl's Court venue, sadly since demolished. About 8 rows back from the stage. You really don't want to know all the filthy skulduggery and dirty deeds that were required to get my paws on such premium tickets. Worth it.
So many more great picks from them you could try. The Great Gig in the Sky, Time, Dogs, Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell (Pulse version for that is really good as well), Hey You, and so many others. If you'd like another amazing performance by David Gilmour (lead guitarist, vocals) then try High Hopes live at Pompeii.
Maggie, you have to listen to Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky. Generally I'd always recommend listening to live versions, but for the Great Gig in the Sky you should listen to the studio version on the album The Dark Side Of The Moon. It was recorded in one take and no matter who they get to sing it live they have never equalled that first recording.
U love Atom Heart Mother and Astronomy Domain...check them out. Let me give you a heads up Atom Heart Mother is 23.44 minutes instrumental. No lyrics, just the most beautiful, soothing, chaotic escape from the outside world. Enjoy
Still trying to find something to replace the Pink Floyd hole in my heart. Couple of bands come close, but PF were really in a league of their own. Great reaction: thank you Maggie!
Soooooo true. It is quite empty, even when there's so much good music ever since, yet, no one can come remotely closer to touch the inner strings that connects your brain, your ears, your heart and your soul...
Originally, during concerts for The Wall, the band would play the first half of the album while building a physical wall on the stage. The band would then play the 2nd half behind the wall. Towards the end there is a song called “The Trial” where the sentence is “Tear Down the Wall!” Back in the 1980’s George Waters (he had left Pink Floyd) said he would never perform The Wall again until the Berlin Wall came down. After the Berlin Wall fell, Waters organized a star studded performance of The Wall in Berlin at the site of the Berlin Wall. He used it as a fundraiser for the British equivalent to the US’s Wounded Warriors. It was breathtaking hearing tens of thousands of people chanting “Tear Down the Wall” where only months before had stood the infamous wall. That was my introduction to The Wall (I was in college at the time) and, while not a huge Pink Floyd fan, I would recommend the movie “Pink Floyd’s The Wall” to show some of the meaning behind the album as a whole.
Maggie, the Pink Floyd Track is from the Album "wish you was here" it's a tribute to their Fellow band mate who took one too many LSD Tabs and was permanently "out of it" with Brain damage. Hence "Hello is There Anybody in There" "I can see your lips moving etc" Hence the Title for the Album...WISH YOU WAS HERE. Love the channel. Stay well Happy New Year. Paul in Rochester UK 🇬🇧
Pink Floyd isn't just music IT'S AN EXPERIENCE! No matter how many times you listen to one of their songs the experience is never the same. That's why I have and always will rely on the soothing chaos of what the WORLD OF PINK FLOYD IS!
This song is one of those that show the difference between a good, or even great, performer (vocal or instrumental) and a master. Good musicians can make you feel good or bad in your brain. An emotional response. Masters can reach into your soul and elevate you to another level.
I was at this concert. It was the most amazing concert experience I had ever witnessed. I've been to a couple hundred concerts in the years since, and nothing has even come close.
99% of people who's posted individual Pink Floyd videos in this country don't get copyright strikes. Shouldn't worry about it. The whole reaction seemed a little busy. And the solo interruption... Well, 😕.
I am a complete Pink Floyd junky and always have been. I love that you are covering them. May comment more after watching you reaction. This is one of my favorites.
Pink Floyd are their OWN genre!. What you may have failed to notice is that the outside of the disco ball had just mirror glass reflecting white light. But since their early days, Pink Floyd were known for their use of coloured lighting. Now when the disco ball opens the reflective surfaces reflect all colours especially blues and purple. This can be seen hitting the audience and roof areas when only half the bal is open and contrasts nicely with the white light coming from he top half!
This is a part of what is called a rock opera. the entire album becomes a story. there is a movie of the same title using all the music. as read in the background of the band. Roger walters and the band had a parting of ways. he said the only way he would play with them again was if the berlin wall had come down. when it did they had a concert of the wall. my sister won 2 tickets and took my other sis. tons of stories... just awesome. fun fact the scorpions had played at that concert and it was while they were at the event that they were inspired for the song 'Winds of Change' that would be a cool reaction view to see... i love what you do... You are awesome! B-e-a-u-tifual!
Comfortable Numb is the first listen to of Pink Floyd, the second is probably Time from the same album. Time Pulse Remastered 2019 is probably the best live version from the same concert as the one you watched.
My favourite musicians are Bach, Beethoven and PF. They take me to emotional places that no one else quite matches, although I love thousands from Hildegard of Bingen onwards.
Glad you have discovered these legends!. Only hard thing hard to swallow was facing the equivalent of "War and peace " written commentary!. That was hard work juxtaposed against the relaxing depth of their masterful work.
I was in attendance when Pink Floyd came to the Montreal Olympic Stadium in 97for two nights, and was there BOTH nights! AMAZING concerts and yes, the Vibe is just Awesome!
Pink Floyd is a musical category all by themselves. Love the performance, love your reaction, really good editing too. Hello is there anybody out there? Have you subscribed to Maggie yet? Hit that Notify too. Plenty of stuff where this came from and plenty more to come. Tons of great stuff on Maggie Renee RUclips channel home page. Reactions, singing, fun! 🕺
@@robgerhardterellen1488 Phew. I just thought I had to go into a lengthy dialogue about good progressive rock bands. King Crimson, Alan Parsons Project. Peter Gabriel solo, e.t.c. Could have become a long night. Rock on!
The Concert was in London, England at Earls Court. It came out in the 90 and was remastered in 2019 the show is called Pulse. The whole concert is simply amazing show
Rosco... thank you, man, a great band, song and Maggie, you were like in a trance , lol, welcome back to Pink Floyd!!! God, I love this channel!! Yay!! 🤘🤘🕺🕺🎸🎸
I attended the Pulse tour when it made it's stop in Pittsburgh, and it's a memory I'll always treasure. There were two sets, with most of the first set being new material from The Division Bell, and the second set being older songs from Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, etc. I was in a stadium with about 50,000 other people, and it was just amazing to hear the entire audience sing along with the older songs, note for note exactly as we'd all heard them countless times. One exception in Pittsburgh to the new/old set format, is that they opened with the song One Of These Days, from the 1971 album Meddle. It's an instrumental piece that features David Gilmore playing not his trademark Fender Stratocaster, but sitting down with a lap steel guitar. The song is included in the Pulse Tour video, and a must see. (It also includes a short homage to the classic British science fiction series, Doctor Who.)
Was introduced to Pink Floyd in 1978, grade 10 English. Dark Side Of The Moon. Fell in love instantly. The only band I wanted to see live, and did. 1995, Division Bell Tour. Put on the headphones, spark up something, and let the music take you on a journey.
I went to a Pink Floyd concert in the 70s in a soccer stadium in Canada. greatest concert ever. all their concerts are light show crazy and amazing acoustics. greatest band ever.
Pink Floyd ALWAYS takes you on a journey. Not many bands can do that (Tool can also). But nobody else can touch your soul through his guitar like this man! By the way, this is widely considered to be the greatest live rock guitar solo of all time.
I'm an old ex roadie who did 3 Floyd tours around this time, I've got too much to say about this and I love your reaction. It was the ultimate in integrated art, sound, light and performance personified, unrivalled and top of the trade. I loved it!
Loved the little emoji asking if anyone else was feeling completely chill. I have been a Floyd fan since the 70's, and from back then up until now ( i'm in my 60's) i have found that after a tough day, cracking open a cold beer, flopping into a bean bag, donning head phones and plugging some Floyd in is an absolutely perfect way to relax and unwind. LOL
I saw them live on this tour. The lights, stage and sound were the result of the band telling the production and design teams that money is no object and meaning it. You might really enjoy The Great Gig In The Sky. The album version is amazing and they did a live version on this tour that I think is just as good.
Pink Floyd is always known for their excellent light shows. First time I saw them was for the Meddle tour and the concert was the first Quadrophonic tour with a laser light show. Quad may seem old hat with Dolby 5.1 we have today but it was cutting edge in 1970.
A friend of mine said he did psychadelics during all the Pink Floyd concerts he went to and he said that the experience was beyond human comprehension. After seeing this, i can understand why. Sitting in my living room without any psychadelics whatsoever i can almost feel the hallucinations streaming out from the tv screen... Absolutely amazing stage show and that solo is unfathomably complex yet simple somehow.
I've seen the 'petals' of that disco ball...they're about 3m long. They are in the Pink Floyd exhibition which is now in LA. Californian Floyd fans....go and see it, great exhibition!.
I was fortunate to have seen Pink Floyd live on the previous tour. I recommend Run like Hell from the same concert, its visually stunning and will blow you away !
You should check out "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse concert. In my opinion, it has a better laser and light show than this as well as a better guitar solo :)
The feeling of being in space, of floating, of time being drawn out, is appropriate considering the song is from the point of view of someone being pumped with drugs to force them out of a drug-induced coma. Knowing that makes the "chill" feeling a little sinister. As is the smokey reassuring voice in the beginning. What's really remarkable about the song is that it captures that point of view of someone being drugged up so they're not so drugged up with a lagging, slow motion feeling. In context, the song is kind of terrifying.
You just stated the best description of Pink Flod I have ever heard...I have been listening to Floyd since before Dark Side, I seem to always hear something different or get a diff vibe, even after all these years and it Never gets old...Thnks so much, perhaps you should continue your Pink Floyd journey?! Thanks so much!

Perhaps you should react to THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
First side of Dark Side of the Moon1
Steven Wilson - Drive home
My absolute favourite of them is "Shine on you crazy diamond" of the "Delicate sound of thunder" album.
That entire album is really amazing!
@@MarcelNL Yes - that is divine. It was originally released on the album "Wish You Were Here" 1975 ...

Over 40 years later and the first guitar solo still gives me goosebumps.
The second solo sounds even better to my ear, transcendent!

"It's like you're floating through space"
No, no..."Comfortably Numb" is floating on a calm sea. _"Shine On You Crazy Diamond"_ is floating through space!😉🙃
Well it was in honor of Syd Barrett. Who apparently & unfortunately went into his own permanent LSD calmness. He was truly a visionary!!

Shine on
You crazy
Diamond
@@Harv72b oh yes...Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Not Comfortably Numb. Wasn't very specific...the words fit Syd's short life so very well.
must be the studio version though
Diminished 7ths are noted for being "moon music," but The Pink Floyd pulls this one off without any diminished 7ths.
David Gilmour does not simply play the guitar. He tells a story with it.

Must do Great Gig in the Sky, studio version.
In 1000 years, they will still be appreciating this song, and the masterpiece album it's from.
I was lucky enough to be there and the whole concert was simply amazing. There will never be anything like it again. Pink Floyd made music for ALL the senses.
Pink Floyd was way ahead of their time. The guitar solos are simple, but powerful. They are masters of setting up feelings, or moods.
My late father took me to one of these residence gigs at Earls Court when I was 15. First ever concert! Blew me away, only time I saw my dad cry was at this solo. Magical.
He wasn't the only one ❤️💖
David Gilmour is a decent singer but the fact is that his guitar is really his voice. He says more with less using it. Easily my favorite guitarist.
His voice is angelic. Not the most technical but most certainly one of the most beautiful. His voice countered Waters' voice, with whom, brought the insanity to the beauty. The darkness and the light. They were and will always be, one of a kind.
The solo in this song is AMAZING
Thinking the same exact thing. DG sings with his guitar more than his voice. Extraordinary!
Sir David is not to bad on the Saxophone 🎷 on "Red Sky at Night"
Decent is a bit of an understatement
"It feels like everything is in slow motion now."
You just 100% nailed it right there.
David Gilmour's voice in this always reminds me of a Dad singing a lullabye... Gives me very calm and safe feels.
❤️
The venue held 20,000 and they sold out all 14 nights in a matter of days. I was there the night this was filmed. I also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam and they will live with me till my dying day.

Best gig I have ever been to and that on "Free" backstage passes courtesy of Nick Mason, what a blast!

Have you listened to a band called "Airbag?" Not Pink Floyd, but the influence is there, and quite noticeable.

Hence "Hello is There Anybody in There" "I can see your lips moving etc" Hence the Title for the Album...WISH YOU WAS HERE. Love the channel. Stay well Happy New Year. Paul in Rochester UK 🇬🇧
😊 Hope to see you TONIGHT: ruclips.net/video/Bzan_Nmd1wQ/видео.html
Pink Floyd isn't just music IT'S AN EXPERIENCE! No matter how many times you listen to one of their songs the experience is never the same. That's why I have and always will rely on the soothing chaos of what the WORLD OF PINK FLOYD IS!
🕺🕺🕺🕺 if you really want to enjoy Pink Floyd turn the lights down put your headphones on and lay back and put shine on you crazy diamond
Thank you so much! See you tonight! 😊💖
May I say one thing on this reaction there is one thing you must never,never,never,do is pause a guitar solo that is just sacrilegious.
the shots from dead front toward the stage with the ball opening, it the Throne of God in a sense and Dave is the God OF guitar.
This song is one of those that show the difference between a good, or even great, performer (vocal or instrumental) and a master.
Good musicians can make you feel good or bad in your brain. An emotional response. Masters can reach into your soul and elevate you to another level.
ONE DOESEN'T MERELY LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD, ONE EXPERIENCES THEM!
I was at this concert. It was the most amazing concert experience I had ever witnessed. I've been to a couple hundred concerts in the years since, and nothing has even come close.
Same. I saw this show in Philly and was blown away. I’ve seem many amazing shows but this one was excellent in its own unique way.
Yea, it's all so beautiful that you thought that you'd interript it for us... THANKS!
99% of people who's posted individual Pink Floyd videos in this country don't get copyright strikes. Shouldn't worry about it. The whole reaction seemed a little busy. And the solo interruption... Well, 😕.
Floyd live is a spiritual experience....have seen them twice. Nothing compares.
I am a complete Pink Floyd junky and always have been. I love that you are covering them. May comment more after watching you reaction. This is one of my favorites.
Thank you for your lovely comment. See you tonight!😊
Pink Floyd are their OWN genre!.
What you may have failed to notice is that the outside of the disco ball had just mirror glass reflecting white light. But since their early days, Pink Floyd were known for their use of coloured lighting. Now when the disco ball opens the reflective surfaces reflect all colours especially blues and purple. This can be seen hitting the audience and roof areas when only half the bal is open and contrasts nicely with the white light coming from he top half!
This is a part of what is called a rock opera. the entire album becomes a story. there is a movie of the same title using all the music. as read in the background of the band. Roger walters and the band had a parting of ways. he said the only way he would play with them again was if the berlin wall had come down. when it did they had a concert of the wall. my sister won 2 tickets and took my other sis. tons of stories... just awesome. fun fact the scorpions had played at that concert and it was while they were at the event that they were inspired for the song 'Winds of Change' that would be a cool reaction view to see... i love what you do... You are awesome! B-e-a-u-tifual!
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you today for my LIVE stream reaction to Scorpions in 2 hours?
Comfortable Numb is the first listen to of Pink Floyd, the second is probably Time from the same album. Time Pulse Remastered 2019 is probably the best live version from the same concert as the one you watched.
In Lisbon where I saw them, it was around 60.000 people.
60k singing this from the top of their lungs.
It was just otherworldly.
My favourite musicians are Bach, Beethoven and PF. They take me to emotional places that no one else quite matches, although I love thousands from Hildegard of Bingen onwards.
Glad you have discovered these legends!.
Only hard thing hard to swallow was facing the equivalent of "War and peace " written commentary!.
That was hard work juxtaposed against the relaxing depth of their masterful work.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new reaction to The Dead South I just posted?
I was in attendance when Pink Floyd came to the Montreal Olympic Stadium in 97for two nights, and was there BOTH nights! AMAZING concerts and yes, the Vibe is just Awesome!
You weren’t walking on the moon. You were comfortably numb!
Pink Floyd is a musical category all by themselves. Love the performance, love your reaction, really good editing too. Hello is there anybody out there? Have you subscribed to Maggie yet? Hit that Notify too. Plenty of stuff where this came from and plenty more to come. Tons of great stuff on Maggie Renee RUclips channel home page. Reactions, singing, fun! 🕺
Thank you so much! See you tonight! 😊💖
LOVED the reaction and the effects added in! Super Cool Maggie!!
There's a place in Seattle where they used to do laser shows of Pink Floyd that were incredible
Pink Floyd and Nightwish, the best symphonic bands in rock/ metal history thus far.
You don't know Genesis, Rush, Marillion, many more, and the great, great Camel, then. And how about Mike Oldfield? Can't get more symphonic than that.
@@sneakyfox4651 Great names, I know them all, only mentioning the best ones. Nevertheless I appreciate your opinion.
@@robgerhardterellen1488 Phew. I just thought I had to go into a lengthy dialogue about good progressive rock bands. King Crimson, Alan Parsons Project. Peter Gabriel solo, e.t.c. Could have become a long night. Rock on!
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my new reaction video to Nigthwish I just posted?
@@sneakyfox4651 Symphony X, Theatre of Tragedy, Opeth, Wintersun, Ex Libris, Nemesea, and so on.
Came for Pink Floyd, stayed for the puppy 😂💚
Gilmour sings from the deepest corners of his soul and his guitar work is well MAGICAL to say the least!
Pink Floyd is a group you sit down with a good glass of wine, supreme head phones are listen to all.
High Hopes from the same show is an absolute MUST. Like, no ifs or buts, that performance changes people.
Nightwish Cover of High Hopes from Decades is also hauntingly amazing!!!
The Concert was in London, England at Earls Court. It came out in the 90 and was remastered in 2019 the show is called Pulse. The whole concert is simply amazing show
Rosco... thank you, man, a great band, song and Maggie, you were like in a trance , lol, welcome back to Pink Floyd!!! God, I love this channel!! Yay!! 🤘🤘🕺🕺🎸🎸
Thank you so much! See you tonight! 😊💖
David gilmour makes you feel with his guitar. Great video, keep ‘em up.
I attended the Pulse tour when it made it's stop in Pittsburgh, and it's a memory I'll always treasure. There were two sets, with most of the first set being new material from The Division Bell, and the second set being older songs from Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, etc. I was in a stadium with about 50,000 other people, and it was just amazing to hear the entire audience sing along with the older songs, note for note exactly as we'd all heard them countless times. One exception in Pittsburgh to the new/old set format, is that they opened with the song One Of These Days, from the 1971 album Meddle. It's an instrumental piece that features David Gilmore playing not his trademark Fender Stratocaster, but sitting down with a lap steel guitar. The song is included in the Pulse Tour video, and a must see. (It also includes a short homage to the classic British science fiction series, Doctor Who.)
I'd suggest you use the PULSE version of their songs for any review. That was the most amazing concert I ever saw.
They are holographs in the disco ball. Those big booms above their heads were cameras that projected them into the disco ball. Sweet!
I love this! It feels like watching a Pop Up video like they used to show on VH1
Was introduced to Pink Floyd in 1978, grade 10 English. Dark Side Of The Moon. Fell in love instantly. The only band I wanted to see live, and did. 1995, Division Bell Tour. Put on the headphones, spark up something, and let the music take you on a journey.
I went to a Pink Floyd concert in the 70s in a soccer stadium in Canada. greatest concert ever. all their concerts are light show crazy and amazing acoustics. greatest band ever.
Pink Floyd ALWAYS takes you on a journey. Not many bands can do that (Tool can also). But nobody else can touch your soul through his guitar like this man! By the way, this is widely considered to be the greatest live rock guitar solo of all time.
I'm an old ex roadie who did 3 Floyd tours around this time, I've got too much to say about this and I love your reaction. It was the ultimate in integrated art, sound, light and performance personified, unrivalled and top of the trade. I loved it!
Loved the little emoji asking if anyone else was feeling completely chill. I have been a Floyd fan since the 70's, and from back then up until now ( i'm in my 60's) i have found that after a tough day, cracking open a cold beer, flopping into a bean bag, donning head phones and plugging some Floyd in is an absolutely perfect way to relax and unwind. LOL
I saw them live on this tour. The lights, stage and sound were the result of the band telling the production and design teams that money is no object and meaning it. You might really enjoy The Great Gig In The Sky. The album version is amazing and they did a live version on this tour that I think is just as good.
Pink Floyd is always known for their excellent light shows. First time I saw them was for the Meddle tour and the concert was the first Quadrophonic tour with a laser light show. Quad may seem old hat with Dolby 5.1 we have today but it was cutting edge in 1970.
A friend of mine said he did psychadelics during all the Pink Floyd concerts he went to and he said that the experience was beyond human comprehension. After seeing this, i can understand why. Sitting in my living room without any psychadelics whatsoever i can almost feel the hallucinations streaming out from the tv screen... Absolutely amazing stage show and that solo is unfathomably complex yet simple somehow.
I've seen the 'petals' of that disco ball...they're about 3m long. They are in the Pink Floyd exhibition which is now in LA. Californian Floyd fans....go and see it, great exhibition!.
I was fortunate to have seen Pink Floyd live on the previous tour. I recommend Run like Hell from the same concert, its visually stunning and will blow you away !
I was at the Pulse concert in Atlanta, it was an Amazing experience.
You should check out "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse concert. In my opinion, it has a better laser and light show than this as well as a better guitar solo :)
Yes! And also "One of these days". Epic instrumental and Pratt just killing it.
First concert I went to was this one. 94 in Philly. Because of this concert I been hook on Pink Floyd
One of the most iconic guitarist of all time
The feeling of being in space, of floating, of time being drawn out, is appropriate considering the song is from the point of view of someone being pumped with drugs to force them out of a drug-induced coma. Knowing that makes the "chill" feeling a little sinister. As is the smokey reassuring voice in the beginning. What's really remarkable about the song is that it captures that point of view of someone being drugged up so they're not so drugged up with a lagging, slow motion feeling. In context, the song is kind of terrifying.
You just stated the best description of Pink Flod I have ever heard...I have been listening to Floyd since before Dark Side, I seem to always hear something different or get a diff vibe, even after all these years and it Never gets old...Thnks so much, perhaps you should continue your Pink Floyd journey?! Thanks so much!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Did you like the new reaction video I just posted? Hope to see you TONIGHT on my LIVE stream www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic?
Psychedelics and Pink Floyd take you to another dimension
I ‘float’ towards this song often!
a good chill if ever.
This song is amazing heard it so many times never gets old
