76 y/o...saw Floyd twice, '74 and '94 pulse concert. Still brings tears after literally hundreds of listens. Always great to see this music still touches souls. Thanks.
65 and it still gives me the chills. I wouldn't trade the music and bands of my youth for anything. Long hair, tight bell bottom jeans and psychedelics. Brings me so much joy when the young ones get their minds blown. 💜
I'm glad that you cried. I have attended 2 Pink Floyd gigs and I can confirm that Pink Floyd playing live is the 8th wonder of the world. No other band comes close.
No that was not the closer, that would be " Run Like Hell". But before you even get to that awesome song, you simply MUST react to "SORROW" from the same concert. The intro and outdo are STUNNING!!!
A wholehearted reaction as expected bro! Don’t feel bad, we’ve all cried to this one. The young bass player is Guy Pratt, who was married to Richard Wright’s daughter and a very accomplished musician Every single song on this tour is a banger. I saw 2 shows in London, having stayed 2 days after the first one to try to get another ticket As everyone left post show, there was near silence as we tried to digest what we had seen and heard Eventually my buddy stopped and said to me - did we just really experience that?- and we hugged and smiled and sparked it another joint, having had.about 6 pre gig 😎 By the way, that mirror ball was about the size of a small house and its appearance caused a collective gasp! Never been a show like it, never will be again Glad you enjoyed
I am so damn jealous you got to see this... like what. That is amazing. I bet it was life changing lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Thank you as always 🙏🙏
We were at Earls Court when, as the concert opened, a section of seating at the rear collapsed, so we all went home again and had to return the fol,lowing Monday for the re-scheduled show, it was still more than worth it. It was also my wife's first experience of PF, she was less keen to come back, but was glad she did in the end :-)
Newbie here. Having been a Floyd fan since 1967 I can totally relate to your reaction. I'm 71 years young and my last band covered this tune in 2021. Even playing it live I would get emotional. Gilmour's solo prowess is beyond comparison. His guitar is singing. It's talking. Sure, there are many guitar gods, but Gilmour is a singular phenom. Thank you very much for this honest reaction. I wish you all the best. God bless you, my new friend. God bless all here on the channel. Peace and love to all.
I am not an English speaker, my mother tongue is Spanish and I didn't need to understand the lyrics when I heard them for the first time. Music is for human beings and the language is universal Gilmour touches all parts of the spirit. They were one of the reasons I learn English because that beautiful music needs to be completely understood with lyrics too.
@@TheWiiuser90 Speaking as a lifelong musician (71 years young) your comment makes me smile. We are in total agreement, my Spanish friend. Music is a universal language. It's very primitive in its form of connection. I've read that music actually predates the development of spoken languages. it's a blessing we all can share. Be well, my friend. Peace and God bless.
Saw Pink Floyd in '73 on the 'Dark Side of The Moon Tour' , was in the grays of Maple Leaf Gardens , and my ticket was six dollars and 60 cents . Also saw the 'Close To The Edge' tour that same year by YES . So I count myself lucky to have experienced those and many other concerts , it was a great time to be alive !
I tear up every time I hear the line " When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I can not put my finger on it now, the child has grown - the dream is gone." Just a brilliant emotional song. Watch the even more impressive " David Gilmore At Pompeii " and experience this from a 2000 year old amphitheater....
I may be old now but boy was I blessed to be a teen in the 70's. Our music was beyond outstanding, and I have no idea how many concerts I went to, including these Masters of Rock.
That bass guitarist is Guy Pratt who replaced Roger Waters when Waters tried to disband Pink Floyd. He sued to disband the group and lost so they continued touring and producing music without him.
Not the closer Run like hell was, this brings a tear to my eyes every time and I've seen it 100's of times so no need to apologies for the emotion Floyd has this effect on you.
I was very fortunate to be in the audience for this !! One of the greatest experiences of my life. They also played the whole of Darkside of the moon - i can’t believe it is 30 years ago this year !!!!!!!
There are three original members on this show. Nick Mason (Drums percussion), Richard Wright (Keyboards vocals) and David Gilmour (Guitar vocals). This Pulse concert was for me their best live show.
Just the gold plated copper vapor lasers that had never before seen the light of day outside of a physics lab cost $120K each, and this was 30 years ago.
The budget was Nicks GTO He put it up as collateral. Dave had snorted most of his money away. When Nick wanted to buy the car they said he was stupid as it cost him 35K back in 77
Seeing someone react to their first experience of this song and especially this performance takes me back to when I first heard and saw it. I absolutely sobbed with emotion and the force of emotive intent in the light/stage show. I missed the PULSE tour by two years (by age...I was 11 during the tour, and my first concert was at 13), but I think if I had witnessed this in real life, I would have collapsed in a hysterical mess of laughing, clapping, crying, and speaking in tongues
You're right to be envious. The atmosphere at a Pink Floyd concert stays with you for life. I saw them in '88 and they already had the huge circle that doubles as a screen to play movie clips. In the queue to enter, they weren't letting glass in, so bottles of spirits were being passed back along the line. You'd take a slug, pass it back and repeat. Once inside, guys wandered among the crowd with their girlfriends on their shoulders, tossing joints to everyone who put their hand up. At one point on the screen a huge bomber aircraft appeared… just as the real thing actually flew low and slow over us at the outdoor venue. Fucking magic.
This song is the reason why I bought my daughter a Fender Stratocaster...mystic ice blue.....13 years ago....her most prized possession....Gilmour's right up there with the great Strat players....Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, etc. What a song...
Finally someone gives that stage appreciation . It is simple the best stage ever, nothing before or after comes close. 30years old technical extravaganza. I envy everyone who saw that live
I saw this tour when I was living in Atlanta. When the show was over she looked at me and said, I'll never be able to explain this to anybody! Perfect explanation of the concert.
One of the amazing things about Floyd was not only the music but their epic visual performances at their concerts. The light show and visual effects all enhanced the experience to make it like nothing else you will ever see again.
Great reaction, David Gilmours solos have an effect on people. I highly recommend High Hopes same Pulse concert. But all the songs are gems 😊 , you can’t go wrong.
One of my test's of reactor channels is this song. If people get emotional listening to this? ON MY LIST! I cry almost every damn time listening to this.
Believe me you are not alone. David Gilmour's guitar has such a unique and hauntingly beautiful sound. Still gets me every time...Happy you chose this version of the video. Love the ending, Gilmour knows that when he hits the last note its gonna go dark on stage so he just nods his head at the crowd a few times in appreciation as they are just goin nuts, surely knowing he has just laid down one of the most epic solos of all time...
The young man is a fill-in bass player who is extremely talented and has played for many star studded acts. His name is Guy Pratt and he is married to the Floyd Keyboardist's (Richard Wright) daughter. If someone mentioned this already, sorry but didn't see a comment. Loved the reaction. And this was the 2nd encore.
The backup singers were stars themselves! Nobody less than Sam Brown was amongst them, who had had her own hit end of the 80ies. Watch „Great gig in the sky“, where they showcased the abilities of their „background“ singers on the Pulse Tour!
Very few backing vocalists could pull off what 25 year old Clare Torry improvised in about 3 takes in a session where she was brought in by recording engineer Alan Parsons to see what she could do to add to the track they had been working on for about a year that was originally titled 'The Mortality Sequence,' she first did some spoken word scatting then was told 'no we don't want any words.' When she finished after saying that she'd given it her best shot she was paid a £30 session fee, double the normal rate as it was on a Sunday and thought she'd failed and it wouldn't be used. It wasn't until she was in a record shop and heard it that she found out it was. She was given no credits on the album. It took a lawsuit to give her credit and some compensation as a cowriter of the song.
@@FooDogDat Oh ffs, cant people stfu about Claire f'ing Torry for once. It was a f**king album cut twenty five years before this. Just appreicate the PULSE gigs for what they were, cant you? Doing two or three takes on an album cut is not the same as doing the damn thing every night on a world tour. You dont know whether any other singer could have done what Claire Torry did. In fact,, if I remember rightly in the DSOTM documentary, Claire herself had said she didnt expect to be called for this session, she was expecting Vicky Brown, Sam's mother to get the call instead. It could have just as easily have been Vicky Brown doing something completely different to what Claire did but thats not how life turned out. Claire was called to that session, she did what she did and that was that. End of. And as great as it was, and remains, all it is is a studio cut. Nobody gives a s*** that you can read the wikipedia page about that track and spout it out on demand. Give it a floppin' rest already.
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome 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 froged 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. 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. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed. I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
the legend goes that the stage manager came to the band before the concert and asked what kind of lightshow they wanted. the band handed over a blanko cheque and said: "you come up with something."
David's guitar has an elegance,no other guitarist can or will ever match. Did you cry? David says he puts all of his emotions into his playng, they are felt in his every note. So tears are our way of feellng his emotions 🙏
Thank you for doing this reaction so quickly! I never get tired of watching this!! I get chills! David Gilmour's voice is still great even at this point in his career. There are other guitar players who may be more technically better players but no one can bring out the emotion that David Gilmour can evoke with his playing! He's a master! This performance is the best solo ever!! I read that Eric Clapton was once asked what it's like to be the best guitar player in the world and he responded you had better ask David Gilmour about that! Check out Sorrow next!!
You are an intuitive person. A few decades ago, I worked as a 911 dispatcher for police fire and EMS. My co-worker and I would get off our shift and chill at her apartment and listen to this song and also Time (really just a lot of Pink Floyd). It helped us express what we’d dealt with during intense shifts at the police department. I’m going to subscribe to you now. You’re pretty awesome and you definitely get the Pink Floyd experience. Please consider listening to the full albums all at once, you’ll get the intended result for sure. I don’t work in the law enforcement side of law anymore, more of the court side but it’s now good to light one and still trip on Pink Floyd. The meanings of the songs definitely hit different as the years go by.
Tu as des larmes tout à fait justifiées car chaque notes de ce génie est un mot qui va directement vers ton cœur, vers ton âme. J'ai vu ce concert a Lyon en 1994 et n'ai plus jamais rien vu ni entendu de comparable. Gilmour est au-dessus du lot sans conteste alors profite et pleur sans retenue, ses solos sont fait pour ça.
I was one of the lucky to be at that concert. I remember at the end of the song, I end up on my knees, totally spent, done, emotionally drained because I realised something that will never ever ever be as good as that and I thank all the gods on earth for being alive to witnesed. Many will try to be as good but they will fail, always.
This is one of those performances that you carry with you, you hold it in you soul. We've all have leaking faces to this piece😢. It's all part of the emotional dam breaking. This concert series had 3 stages leapfrogging around the world. They ran 57 semi trucks of equipment. 2 Boeing 747s and an Antonov military heavy lift aircraft
groovy post & welcome Brother, welcome to the machine... analog audio art at its finest // I'm not stuck in the 70s I'm just not finished listening to it yet.. This music was created before MTV, cable even... visuals were of little thought, except for live & that was all new thing since the Beatles a couple yrs before... visual distractors were on the way // stay real n be safe
67-year-old man here, and I will tell you that this song, and particularly this performance, has yanked many tears out of me over the years. I don't cry easily, like most men raised when I was, but this performance just hits the heart so very hard. Great reaction, keep up the good work.
I saw this live in the early 90s and it was absolutely spectacular. You can't close your eyes during this live performance. But I can tell you that I shed many tears listening to Pink Floyd. Thank you Lee
I'm 74 and have heard this song hundreds of times and it still brings a tear to my eyes. It grabs your soul and opens up feelings you didn't know you were capable of having. That is the PF experience that I've been in love with since day one. Watched a few of your vids and this reaction made me subscribe, honest and sincere. Good luck and hope you prosper...NEVER apologize for crying when you hear PF. That was the whole point of their music..emotions
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend at the time and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
Saw this tour the summer of 94 in New Orleans. Hands down the best show I've ever been to. They closed with Run like Hell and blew everything up. Incredible show/tour.
I was there, too!! it was 2 days before my 27th birthday at the time. The show at the Superdome was on May 14, 1994. I still have my ticket stub, too!! That show was a master class on how to put on a concert as far as sights and sound. They were even able to completely nullify the bad acoustics at the Dome, and had their sound come out completely clean and clear through their speakers. Totally amazing show from start to finish!! I also have the sound recording from that concert as well!!
Nothing like an epic guitar solo. For another jaw dropping performance heck out 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago live at Tanglewood. Terry Kath was amazing while he lived, and Chicago hasn't been the same since.
I've watched this performance I don't know how many hundreds of times. But, a lot. And I still get moved to tears. Pink Floyd truly live on their own planet, their own world. They make the most life-affirming music.They also performed a song called High Hopes at that concert. I think it's even more moving than C. Numb as it evokes memories of childhood. There's no other song that does that as good as this one. Thanks for your reaction. To see you get emotional, don't worry, as fans we totally get it.
Ever since my grandmother, yes my grandma, gave me a Pink Floyd and CCR album for Christmas in 69 I’ve been a huge fan. I was also blessed to see them 3 times in concert. Still listen to their albums more than any other band. It’s just so relaxing to sit back with headphones on and some good ganja… allegedly!😎
Great reaction. And don't apologize, that's the kind of real reaction folks come for. Hope things brighten up for you. Check out "Wish You Were Here" from this same concert. I'm sure you'll recognize that as well. ✌️👍
Thank you, I appreciate it. I don't usually get emotional unless it really hits. And yeah, this one really hit. I'll definitely be checking out more from this show.
@@L33Reacts I was at this concert in '94 in Chicago. If you think it hits hard just watching it on video, you can only imagine what it does to you live with 100,000 watts of power going through you, blinding lights, 360° sound from all around the stadium, and even lightning in the sky for added effect. Talk about walking out of there Comfortably Numb. And that wasn't even the finale!! Check out the closer "Run Like Hell" from this same concert when you get the chance.
I was at the Indianapolis Indiana HOOSIER DOME back in the mid- later 90's and watch PINK FLOYD In Concert. They were and still are my all time favorite group.
50 years ago Pink Floyd were already 200 years ahead of everybody! I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday. The best guitar solo of Gilmour is always the last one we listened. There are so many best solo of David!
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
Driven to tears is epic. You ARE a true musician! Sharing the same experience with all of your generation is greatly appreciated. From one who experienced it at your age is beautiful man.
Once you've heard this live version, you'll never hear the album version in the same way. Dave Gilmour created history that when he played that solo which in my opinion is the best solo in any song played live, he made his guitar sing like nothing I've heard before and I've yet to hear anything better, even Stairway To Heaven live solo which says a lot.
Don't be ashamed of your tears, i nearly always cry, when watching this Song and i'm a 56 years old family father. It's a natural reaction of your body, when realising that you hear absolute perfect music
The audience is just mesmerised until the very end... their souls have gone on a journey together.... And it was followed by Run Like Hell.... what an encore! This song means a lot to a lot of people... and has touched me since I first heard it when it first came out some almost 50 years ago now.....
Pink Floyd are the Undisputed Gods of Live performance. They have the ability to hook into your soul and pull your emotions to the surface. They understood the connections between the musical and visual. The only thing I ever feel watching the Pulse concert is pure joy. It can pull tears of joy almost every time. Every song in this concert is performed exactly like this one. Id recommend Sorrow and Keep Talking.
I was fortunate enough (aka OLD) to see them twice. Once in 1988 and once in 1995 for the Pulse tour. I had VIP floor seats for Pulse; we all received seat cushions with the Division Bell logo printed on them. And yes, I still have them. My favorite band and this is my favorite song. David Gilmour is a legend!
Lucky enough to see this epic Tour in 1994. Birmingham, Alabama. Legion Field. The stage was so big that it started at the corner on One End zone, and ran out to the 25 yard line on the other side. Absolutely Incredible. I, along with 75,000 enjoyed this once in a lifetime Concert. ❤️❤️
That was the first of 2 encores. The 2nd was 'Run Like Hell.' I saw this show 'live' two nights in a row in Oakland , CA. 1994. This is the end of about 3 hours worth of music. An absolutely AWESOME night.
We all cry. Many songs then sparked great emotions and goosebumps. When the music stopped provoking such responses, i left the music mainstream and stay with old school music. Its just the best. As a generation, i believe we respected every member of a group. Yes someone like gilmore is supposed to stand out but we dont get this song without them all bringing something to the table. Maybe if society realized this, society wouid flow cohesively like a good piece of music.
Exactly.... you need a brilliant drummer/percussionist to hold the beats and deliver the thrum that drives it along and the cracks and crashes the guitar weaves around, you need a brilliant keyboardist to add the background for the solo to play against and give you the added parts you "feel" but might not actually hear , the soaring notes in the background that lift you higher and cushion your fall, a bassist who can weave the heartbeat through it all and hold you tight and the backing singers and vocalists who each add another layer of intricacy. Imagine if you removed just one of these elements from the song, if you could control the mixing board and turn off the drums or the bass or whatever, the song would be incomplete and the total voyage lost. Some parts of society have forgotten that we are more than the sum parts. This song is a testament to it. Yes the guitar solo would still be brilliant without the backing but together it is transcendental and magnificent. We need to work together and not work against each other. The person you lift up today, may be the one who gives you a helping hand when your chips are down and together you can avoid the pitfalls on this road of life...
I regard myself as being so lucky fortunate call it what you will to have grown up with pink floyd and so many very talented rock groups of the age British rock music in the sixtees onward was incredible we had so much choice it was a fantastic experience but the group for me that are still a world apart are without question pink floyd david gilmour has a very special gift of conveying his emotions through his pure genius with his guitar im 74 years young and will be forever young listening to the masters of progressive sycadelic rock that is pink floyd what an absolutely incredible group there has never been a group like them and I dont think there ever will be another

It's rare to see anyone NOT getting emotional while watching this epic performance.
Yeah, this was basically a religious experience for folks, I'm guessing... for me included. I can't wait to hear more now.
I can’t help but get leaky eyes every time I see this performance, seen it hundreds of times now.
Dave Gilmore plugs his guitar straight into your soul
One of the best live performances ever. Shows the power of music.
How many times am I going to get shit in my fucking eye! Anyone who loves music, will be moved by this performance.
The two best guitar solos ever, in one song
YOU JUST GOT BAPTIZED !!!! Tears are cleansing and at 63yrs, I cry every time someone new hears this classic and reacts the way you did.
Yeah, that was a baptism for sure. Bathed by the tears of my own demise. But hey, it was beautiful. Glad you enjoyed 😉
@@L33ReactsAs a guy "recovering" I imagine you have lived a few of the notes David was playing! I do🙏🐶😎🇺🇸 Spread the love Brother
76 y/o...saw Floyd twice, '74 and '94 pulse concert. Still brings tears after literally hundreds of listens. Always great to see this music still touches souls. Thanks.
Voted by fans and peer musicians around the world as the best guitar solo in rock history
never apolpize for tears .... itś nothing more beautiful than reaching the highest emotional stage by masterpiece music
^^^^^^^^^ THIS
I cry every time I hear/see this performance.
65 and it still gives me the chills. I wouldn't trade the music and bands of my youth for anything. Long hair, tight bell bottom jeans and psychedelics. Brings me so much joy when the young ones get their minds blown. 💜
68 and totally agree.
I'm glad that you cried. I have attended 2 Pink Floyd gigs and I can confirm that Pink Floyd playing live is the 8th wonder of the world. No other band comes close.
No that was not the closer, that would be " Run Like Hell". But before you even get to that awesome song, you simply MUST react to "SORROW" from the same concert. The intro and outdo are STUNNING!!!
I’m 72. This performance brings me to tears every time. It’s masterpiece.
78 here...same reaction every time. they ought to send this into deep space - any alien
Me too. Seeing them live is a whole new experience.
A wholehearted reaction as expected bro! Don’t feel bad, we’ve all cried to this one.
The young bass player is Guy Pratt, who was married to Richard Wright’s daughter and a very accomplished musician
Every single song on this tour is a banger. I saw 2 shows in London, having stayed 2 days after the first one to try to get another ticket
As everyone left post show, there was near silence as we tried to digest what we had seen and heard
Eventually my buddy stopped and said to me - did we just really experience that?- and we hugged and smiled and sparked it another joint, having had.about 6 pre gig 😎
By the way, that mirror ball was about the size of a small house and its appearance caused a collective gasp!
Never been a show like it, never will be again
Glad you enjoyed
I am so damn jealous you got to see this... like what. That is amazing. I bet it was life changing lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Thank you as always 🙏🙏
Hell yeah!!!!
Dang what an experience
We were at Earls Court when, as the concert opened, a section of seating at the rear collapsed, so we all went home again and had to return the fol,lowing Monday for the re-scheduled show, it was still more than worth it. It was also my wife's first experience of PF, she was less keen to come back, but was glad she did in the end :-)
Amen.

Saw Pink Floyd in '73 on the 'Dark Side of The Moon Tour' , was in the grays of Maple Leaf Gardens , and my ticket was six dollars and 60 cents . Also saw the 'Close To The Edge' tour that same year by YES . So I count myself lucky to have experienced those and many other concerts , it was a great time to be alive !
I tear up every time I hear the line " When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I can not put my finger on it now, the child has grown - the dream is gone." Just a brilliant emotional song. Watch the even more impressive " David Gilmore At Pompeii " and experience this from a 2000 year old amphitheater....
Me too. That line, so much truth.
me too, one of the most poignant lines in music, in my opinion. Roger is a lyrical genius.
Me as well. Seismically sad lyrics when you are old enough to understand them.
If this does not bring tears to the eyes you ain't human.
I may be old now but boy was I blessed to be a teen in the 70's. Our music was beyond outstanding, and I have no idea how many concerts I went to, including these Masters of Rock.
That bass guitarist is Guy Pratt who replaced Roger Waters when Waters tried to disband Pink Floyd. He sued to disband the group and lost so they continued touring and producing music without him.
One simply does not listen to Pink Floyd, one lives the experience
Not the closer Run like hell was, this brings a tear to my eyes every time and I've seen it 100's of times so no need to apologies for the emotion Floyd has this effect on you.
I was very fortunate to be in the audience for this !! One of the greatest experiences of my life. They also played the whole of Darkside of the moon - i can’t believe it is 30 years ago this year !!!!!!!
There are three original members on this show. Nick Mason (Drums percussion), Richard Wright (Keyboards vocals) and David Gilmour (Guitar vocals). This Pulse concert was for me their best live show.
Saw them in 1994, too. Best concert ever!
Lighting crew: What’s our budget?
Pink Floyd: YES! 😂
Just the gold plated copper vapor lasers that had never before seen the light of day outside of a physics lab cost $120K each, and this was 30 years ago.
The budget was Nicks GTO He put it up as collateral. Dave had snorted most of his money away. When Nick wanted to buy the car they said he was stupid as it cost him 35K back in 77
I’ve been listening to this track for 0ver 30’s years…it still gets me every time. So good to see that it still moves people to this day 😊
Seeing someone react to their first experience of this song and especially this performance takes me back to when I first heard and saw it. I absolutely sobbed with emotion and the force of emotive intent in the light/stage show. I missed the PULSE tour by two years (by age...I was 11 during the tour, and my first concert was at 13), but I think if I had witnessed this in real life, I would have collapsed in a hysterical mess of laughing, clapping, crying, and speaking in tongues
I seen them 3 times dark side of the moon, wish you were here and the wall tour! Best concerts ever!
You're right to be envious. The atmosphere at a Pink Floyd concert stays with you for life. I saw them in '88 and they already had the huge circle that doubles as a screen to play movie clips. In the queue to enter, they weren't letting glass in, so bottles of spirits were being passed back along the line. You'd take a slug, pass it back and repeat. Once inside, guys wandered among the crowd with their girlfriends on their shoulders, tossing joints to everyone who put their hand up. At one point on the screen a huge bomber aircraft appeared… just as the real thing actually flew low and slow over us at the outdoor venue. Fucking magic.
never apologise for tears, it means you are human
There is a video of this with pink Floyd and David Bowie joins them .The two David's together. Legendary.
This song is the reason why I bought my daughter a Fender Stratocaster...mystic ice blue.....13 years ago....her most prized possession....Gilmour's right up there with the great Strat players....Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, etc. What a song...
Pink Floyd has got me through the rougher times of my life too Lee. Hang in there bro, there’s light ahead!
Thanks brother I appreciate that. I really hope so. 🙏
Daves very last high notes before they crash to the end gives me goosebumps all over
Finally someone gives that stage appreciation . It is simple the best stage ever, nothing before or after comes close. 30years old technical extravaganza. I envy everyone who saw that live
I saw this tour when I was living in Atlanta. When the show was over she looked at me and said, I'll never be able to explain this to anybody! Perfect explanation of the concert.
Hahaha right... how do you explain that? It's a spiritual experience.
One of the amazing things about Floyd was not only the music but their epic visual performances at their concerts. The light show and visual effects all enhanced the experience to make it like nothing else you will ever see again.
Great reaction, David Gilmours solos have an effect on people. I highly recommend High Hopes same Pulse concert. But all the songs are gems 😊 , you can’t go wrong.
Thank you 🙏 definitely a tear jerker. I'll add it to the list thank you 😊
An absolutely brilliant reaction. I'm sure you've heard it before but check out this entire concert. You won't be disappointed.
One of my test's of reactor channels is this song. If people get emotional listening to this? ON MY LIST! I cry almost every damn time listening to this.
Believe me you are not alone. David Gilmour's guitar has such a unique and hauntingly beautiful sound. Still gets me every time...Happy you chose this version of the video. Love the ending, Gilmour knows that when he hits the last note its gonna go dark on stage so he just nods his head at the crowd a few times in appreciation as they are just goin nuts, surely knowing he has just laid down one of the most epic solos of all time...
The young man is a fill-in bass player who is extremely talented and has played for many star studded acts. His name is Guy Pratt and he is married to the Floyd Keyboardist's (Richard Wright) daughter. If someone mentioned this already, sorry but didn't see a comment. Loved the reaction. And this was the 2nd encore.
this song would bring tears to a glass eye
The backup singers were stars themselves! Nobody less than Sam Brown was amongst them, who had had her own hit end of the 80ies. Watch „Great gig in the sky“, where they showcased the abilities of their „background“ singers on the Pulse Tour!
Àlso one of the other girls had a hit called dancing in the rain
Very few backing vocalists could pull off what 25 year old Clare Torry improvised in about 3 takes in a session where she was brought in by recording engineer Alan Parsons to see what she could do to add to the track they had been working on for about a year that was originally titled 'The Mortality Sequence,' she first did some spoken word scatting then was told 'no we don't want any words.'
When she finished after saying that she'd given it her best shot she was paid a £30 session fee, double the normal rate as it was on a Sunday and thought she'd failed and it wouldn't be used. It wasn't until she was in a record shop and heard it that she found out it was. She was given no credits on the album. It took a lawsuit to give her credit and some compensation as a cowriter of the song.
@@FooDogDat Oh ffs, cant people stfu about Claire f'ing Torry for once. It was a f**king album cut twenty five years before this. Just appreicate the PULSE gigs for what they were, cant you? Doing two or three takes on an album cut is not the same as doing the damn thing every night on a world tour.
You dont know whether any other singer could have done what Claire Torry did. In fact,, if I remember rightly in the DSOTM documentary, Claire herself had said she didnt expect to be called for this session, she was expecting Vicky Brown, Sam's mother to get the call instead. It could have just as easily have been Vicky Brown doing something completely different to what Claire did but thats not how life turned out.
Claire was called to that session, she did what she did and that was that. End of. And as great as it was, and remains, all it is is a studio cut. Nobody gives a s*** that you can read the wikipedia page about that track and spout it out on demand. Give it a floppin' rest already.
His solos take your soul on a ride
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome 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 froged 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. 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. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed. I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
Very cool they hit Syracuse.
the legend goes that the stage manager came to the band before the concert and asked what kind of lightshow they wanted. the band handed over a blanko cheque and said: "you come up with something."
David's guitar has an elegance,no other guitarist can or will ever match. Did you cry? David says he puts all of his emotions into his playng, they are felt in his every note. So tears are our way of feellng his emotions 🙏
On Nick Mason, I saw him perform a few months ago. At 78, he still has that relaxed flow that sets the mood. Incredible.
I was blessed to see this show 4 times. It was a mindblowing experience all 4 times.
Love brother, we are all affected by this sound... You stand with millions bro .....
Thank you for doing this reaction so quickly! I never get tired of watching this!! I get chills! David Gilmour's voice is still great even at this point in his career. There are other guitar players who may be more technically better players but no one can bring out the emotion that David Gilmour can evoke with his playing! He's a master! This performance is the best solo ever!! I read that Eric Clapton was once asked what it's like to be the best guitar player in the world and he responded you had better ask David Gilmour about that! Check out Sorrow next!!
You are an intuitive person. A few decades ago, I worked as a 911 dispatcher for police fire and EMS. My co-worker and I would get off our shift and chill at her apartment and listen to this song and also Time (really just a lot of Pink Floyd). It helped us express what we’d dealt with during intense shifts at the police department. I’m going to subscribe to you now. You’re pretty awesome and you definitely get the Pink Floyd experience. Please consider listening to the full albums all at once, you’ll get the intended result for sure. I don’t work in the law enforcement side of law anymore, more of the court side but it’s now good to light one and still trip on Pink Floyd. The meanings of the songs definitely hit different as the years go by.
Tu as des larmes tout à fait justifiées car chaque notes de ce génie est un mot qui va directement vers ton cœur, vers ton âme. J'ai vu ce concert a Lyon en 1994 et n'ai plus jamais rien vu ni entendu de comparable. Gilmour est au-dessus du lot sans conteste alors profite et pleur sans retenue, ses solos sont fait pour ça.
I was one of the lucky to be at that concert. I remember at the end of the song, I end up on my knees, totally spent, done, emotionally drained because I realised something that will never ever ever be as good as that and I thank all the gods on earth for being alive to witnesed. Many will try to be as good but they will fail, always.
This is one of those performances that you carry with you, you hold it in you soul.
We've all have leaking faces to this piece😢. It's all part of the emotional dam breaking.
This concert series had 3 stages leapfrogging around the world. They ran 57 semi trucks of equipment. 2 Boeing 747s and an Antonov military heavy lift aircraft
groovy post & welcome Brother, welcome to the machine... analog audio art at its finest // I'm not stuck in the 70s I'm just not finished listening to it yet.. This music was created before MTV, cable even... visuals were of little thought, except for live & that was all new thing since the Beatles a couple yrs before... visual distractors were on the way // stay real n be safe
67-year-old man here, and I will tell you that this song, and particularly this performance, has yanked many tears out of me over the years. I don't cry easily, like most men raised when I was, but this performance just hits the heart so very hard. Great reaction, keep up the good work.
I saw this live in the early 90s and it was absolutely spectacular. You can't close your eyes during this live performance. But I can tell you that I shed many tears listening to Pink Floyd. Thank you Lee
I'm 74 and have heard this song hundreds of times and it still brings a tear to my eyes. It grabs your soul and opens up feelings you didn't know you were capable of having. That is the PF experience that I've been in love with since day one. Watched a few of your vids and this reaction made me subscribe, honest and sincere. Good luck and hope you prosper...NEVER apologize for crying when you hear PF. That was the whole point of their music..emotions
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend at the time and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
The younger person you mentioned was Guy Pratt, who took the place of Roger Waters on bass. He is Richard Wright's son in law, and a great bassist!
Always amazed to see people had never seen this… amazing
Saw this tour the summer of 94 in New Orleans. Hands down the best show I've ever been to. They closed with Run like Hell and blew everything up. Incredible show/tour.
I was there, too!! it was 2 days before my 27th birthday at the time. The show at the Superdome was on May 14, 1994. I still have my ticket stub, too!! That show was a master class on how to put on a concert as far as sights and sound. They were even able to completely nullify the bad acoustics at the Dome, and had their sound come out completely clean and clear through their speakers. Totally amazing show from start to finish!! I also have the sound recording from that concert as well!!
זה אחד השירים היפים שלהם.ביצוע אדיר ❤❤❤❤❤אהבתי את התגובה שלך🤘🤘🤘🤘🫶🫶🫶🫶
Nothing like an epic guitar solo. For another jaw dropping performance heck out 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago live at Tanglewood. Terry Kath was amazing while he lived, and Chicago hasn't been the same since.
Pink Floyd is ART.
You are human, you are experiencing life with all that entails, don't apologize for the tears, they are warranted.
I've watched this performance I don't know how many hundreds of times. But, a lot. And I still get moved to tears. Pink Floyd truly live on their own planet, their own world. They make the most life-affirming music.They also performed a song called High Hopes at that concert. I think it's even more moving than C. Numb as it evokes memories of childhood. There's no other song that does that as good as this one. Thanks for your reaction. To see you get emotional, don't worry, as fans we totally get it.
Ever since my grandmother, yes my grandma, gave me a Pink Floyd and CCR album for Christmas in 69 I’ve been a huge fan. I was also blessed to see them 3 times in concert. Still listen to their albums more than any other band. It’s just so relaxing to sit back with headphones on and some good ganja… allegedly!😎
Great reaction. And don't apologize, that's the kind of real reaction folks come for. Hope things brighten up for you.
Check out "Wish You Were Here" from this same concert. I'm sure you'll recognize that as well. ✌️👍
Thank you, I appreciate it. I don't usually get emotional unless it really hits. And yeah, this one really hit. I'll definitely be checking out more from this show.
@@L33Reacts I was at this concert in '94 in Chicago. If you think it hits hard just watching it on video, you can only imagine what it does to you live with 100,000 watts of power going through you, blinding lights, 360° sound from all around the stadium, and even lightning in the sky for added effect. Talk about walking out of there Comfortably Numb. And that wasn't even the finale!! Check out the closer "Run Like Hell" from this same concert when you get the chance.
Of course that should have been 100,000 watts of power.
Corrected.
It was incredible. I saw this tour in San Diego back in April of 1994. I was 22 and to this day is the best show I've ever seen.
I was at the Indianapolis Indiana HOOSIER DOME back in the mid- later 90's and watch PINK FLOYD In Concert. They were and still are my all time favorite group.
You're not the only one that sheds tears listening to this performance - quite extraordinary!
No need to be sorry.
An honest, powerful reaction to a beautiful piece of music.
Perfect.
50 years ago Pink Floyd were already 200 years ahead of everybody!
I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971
and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times.
Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
The best guitar solo of Gilmour is always the last one we listened.
There are so many best solo of David!
We’re here with you. Stay strong and we’re here if you need to vent
The beauty of music, it touches you on a cellular level
I was fortunate enough to get to see this tour.
Best sound of any concert I've ever seen live!
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
Hey Mark with a different name 👋🏼😂
Tears every time, for years and years ❤️
That performance has brought many men to tears for decades!
Driven to tears is epic. You ARE a true musician! Sharing the same experience with all of your generation is greatly appreciated. From one who experienced it at your age is beautiful man.
That fucking solo has brought many a person to tears, amazing emotion. 😁🤘
It's like if the plumber showed up and destroyed your house with arguably one of the greatest live guitar solos of all time.
Once you've heard this live version, you'll never hear the album version in the same way. Dave Gilmour created history that when he played that solo which in my opinion is the best solo in any song played live, he made his guitar sing like nothing I've heard before and I've yet to hear anything better, even Stairway To Heaven live solo which says a lot.
Don't be ashamed of your tears, i nearly always cry, when watching this Song and i'm a 56 years old family father. It's a natural reaction of your body, when realising that you hear absolute perfect music
The audience is just mesmerised until the very end... their souls have gone on a journey together....
And it was followed by Run Like Hell.... what an encore!
This song means a lot to a lot of people... and has touched me since I first heard it when it first came out some almost 50 years ago now.....
Pink Floyd are the Undisputed Gods of Live performance. They have the ability to hook into your soul and pull your emotions to the surface. They understood the connections between the musical and visual. The only thing I ever feel watching the Pulse concert is pure joy. It can pull tears of joy almost every time. Every song in this concert is performed exactly like this one. Id recommend Sorrow and Keep Talking.
I was fortunate enough (aka OLD) to see them twice. Once in 1988 and once in 1995 for the Pulse tour. I had VIP floor seats for Pulse; we all received seat cushions with the Division Bell logo printed on them. And yes, I still have them. My favorite band and this is my favorite song. David Gilmour is a legend!
From the same Pulse Concert, please check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL.
The lighting is actually pretty cool bro.I dig the black and white shadowy background.Different
The finale is explosive. "RUN" Well worth watching. You will love it, brings the whole concert to a brilliant end.
The spirits of the guitar gods were all present, fantastic performance.
"Run Like Hell" from the concert is another goodun.
Lucky enough to see this epic Tour in 1994. Birmingham, Alabama. Legion Field. The stage was so big that it started at the corner on One End zone, and ran out to the 25 yard line on the other side. Absolutely Incredible. I, along with 75,000 enjoyed this once in a lifetime Concert. ❤️❤️
That was the first of 2 encores. The 2nd was 'Run Like Hell.' I saw this show 'live' two nights in a row in Oakland , CA. 1994. This is the end of about 3 hours worth of music. An absolutely AWESOME night.
Floyd Concerts are always a great "Epic" event, great memories seeing them !! 👍🌠🎶
We all cry. Many songs then sparked great emotions and goosebumps. When the music stopped provoking such responses, i left the music mainstream and stay with old school music. Its just the best. As a generation, i believe we respected every member of a group. Yes someone like gilmore is supposed to stand out but we dont get this song without them all bringing something to the table. Maybe if society realized this, society wouid flow cohesively like a good piece of music.
Exactly.... you need a brilliant drummer/percussionist to hold the beats and deliver the thrum that drives it along and the cracks and crashes the guitar weaves around, you need a brilliant keyboardist to add the background for the solo to play against and give you the added parts you "feel" but might not actually hear , the soaring notes in the background that lift you higher and cushion your fall, a bassist who can weave the heartbeat through it all and hold you tight and the backing singers and vocalists who each add another layer of intricacy.
Imagine if you removed just one of these elements from the song, if you could control the mixing board and turn off the drums or the bass or whatever, the song would be incomplete and the total voyage lost.
Some parts of society have forgotten that we are more than the sum parts. This song is a testament to it. Yes the guitar solo would still be brilliant without the backing but together it is transcendental and magnificent. We need to work together and not work against each other. The person you lift up today, may be the one who gives you a helping hand when your chips are down and together you can avoid the pitfalls on this road of life...
Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd. i saw this concert twice in two nights in 1987 and still rememberr it like it was yesterday
I regard myself as being so lucky fortunate call it what you will to have grown up with pink floyd and so many very talented rock groups of the age British rock music in the sixtees onward was incredible we had so much choice it was a fantastic experience but the group for me that are still a world apart are without question pink floyd david gilmour has a very special gift of conveying his emotions through his pure genius with his guitar im 74 years young and will be forever young listening to the masters of progressive sycadelic rock that is pink floyd what an absolutely incredible group there has never been a group like them and I dont think there ever will be another
Your the second reactor I watched cry to this performance just today. Music that evokes emotion is the best music of all.
Saw them live in Miami and 3 rivers was absolutely the best experience I've ever had❤❤❤❤ thank you.for sharing this ❤❤❤
BEATIFUL REACTION!!! I cry every time
My first wife was at that very concert. She saw Floyd twice. When I met her they were the only two concerts she had ever been to. I was soooo jealous.
