It is impossible and useless to rank artists or art and say which is the best. But David's beautiful, melodic solo has probably touched more people emotionally than any other solo in classic rock. It must be pretty good if it makes a grown man like me cry like a baby.
There is "Music" and there is "Pink Floyd". They brings you somewhere out of your body! Pink Floyd made me fly for the last 55 years and I've been bless for that!
I saw Pink Floyd on this tour in 94, as well as a few other times. The music is a life altering experience. Being there live can’t be compared to anything else.
Wow, what a emphatic and joyful reaction ... you can choose anything from David Gilmour's PULSE Concert ... maybe a good start is "High Hopes" "Sorrow" or "The great gig in the the sky"
Been watching this video for 30 years and I'll never get sick of seeing reaction videos. It's so cool to see people blown away by it like I've always been. That solo🤘
I love how David Gilmour stands there in a t-shirt and jeans, looking like someone's dad about to go out and mow the lawn. Then he calmly rips your heart out with the greatest guitar solos ever.
Massive Floyd fan since 1972 when i was 10 my dad bought me Meddle my 1st Floyd LP . Seen them twice The Wall tour 1980 and this concert Pulse Tour 1994 , two of the best nights of my life
Saw them in Tampa this tour. Words cannot explain the experience. The most advanced lighting and sound show at the time. Surround sound in a football stadium when surround sound was just beginning. The hidden disco ball that no one was expecting because there was no internet and nothing could be spoiled about concerts. And the crowd and vibe. No phones, everyone focused on the stage show, the music and vibing with each other.
Pink Floyd..the best of their genre and the greatest guitar solo ever by David Gilmore. Your continuous smile said it all. Music can say more than words ever can! Great reaction. Your smile is infectious. So keep smiling.
Guy Pratt, the bassist here, still performs with David. I just saw both of them in LA a month ago, and was hands down one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Also, how in the world has someone never heard this song before?
I am 66 years old and still rock out to Pink Floyd. Had the privilege of seeing them twice, back in the day. Too bad there will no more music like this ever again. I liked your reaction when David Gilmore started. Peace
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! One for your Amazing, heartfelt Reaction. Two for reacting to this particular song in this particular concert. The Pulse concert is absolutely perfect. And three perhaps most importantly for not breaking the cardinal rule of Never, Ever, Ever, interrupting a David Gilmour guitar solo! Your Enthusiasm , your smile are infectious I look forward to seeing more of your reactions to Pink Floyd on the whole butt in particular this concert. ❤
Ok, so your smile is a joy to behold! Totally infectious and I love it. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands of all time. Uniquely deep and stunning in every way. David Gilmore is the GOAT on guitar!
Pink floyd is a rarity in that they are even better live than on the studio version . I was at this concert in 94 , and at the end I was crying knowing that I would never see another concert like this again . A truly out of this world experience .
Same, kinda. I saw this tour here in the States and I began to get teary eyed when I realized they were playing DSOTM in its entirety. DSOTM was my intro to PF back in 1973 when I was just 9. I never thought I'd ever get to see it performed....until this tour.
19yo, Denver Colorado. Still the best concert I've ever experienced. I've seen Page & Plant, The Stones, Aerosmith, The Dead, you name it. Even Chuck Berry, John Kay and Steppenwolf. AC/DC, Metallica. Slayer in a small venue. ... THIS performance is the finest thing I have ever witnessed.
You have stumbled upon the greatest group of musicians, playing the best music you will ever hear. Please do yourself a huge favor and continue the life changing experience that is Pink Floyd. Their concert in 1994 for the release of the album "The Division Bell" is known as the "Pulse" concert, and is what you saw for Comfortably Numb. You will enjoy anything and everything from Pulse, but check out High Hopes, Coming Back to Life, Learning to Fly, Sorrow, Wish You Were Here, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, and Run Like Hell to start!
I like the Pulse concert, but I really enjoyed "A Delicate Sound of Thunder" concert (1988) which supported their "Momentary Lapse of Reason" studio album. MLoR was the first album released without Roger Waters. Like Pulse, it had an extended guitar solo for Comfortably Numb. I remember the DJ's would call out the length of Comfortably Numb from the previous night's performance.
Wonderful réaction to probably the greatest guitar solo by one of the greatest bands ever to play live. That performance (which I was at) is 30 years old but the music is timeless. I am 75 now and been a Floyd fan since 1966 and still get goose bumps listening to all their music. The whole 1994 Pulse concert is incredible, great musicians and arrangements, flawless surround sound system and breathtaking visuals. If you have to pick out a couple of numbers try High Hopes, Sorrow, One of these days, Learning to fly and an epic finale Run like Hell. But their whole album catalogue awaits you. Welcome to the emotional world of Pink Floyd. My regret was that that was the last time I saw them live, they basically stopped recording and touring after the death of keyboard player Richard Wright in 2008. Dave Gilmour (guitar) has toured several times (the last ending in New York, last week aged 78). Nick Mason (drummer) has also toured playing early Floyd classics. Bassist at Pulse, Guy Pratt plays for both bands. Check out Dave Gilmour's latest tour videos. Good luck and future listening of the great Pink Floyd.
Sorry to hear that you never saw them live. The Pulse concerts were probably the best live shows that ever got to tour. Although it is not the same as being there, the remastered video is fantastic especially if you can get to hear it through a home cinema sound system.
Kate, nice reaction! You just witnessed arguably the best performance in the history of rock by the band that has entered the spatial tear in the universe..........and reached the space where one is divided by zero..........undefined.........Pink Floyd is my fav band of all time and my 2nd fav artist!
The best band of all time. And the emotions to which we are transported with David Gilmour's guitar are priceless. I'm almost 70 years old and tears still come to my eyes when I listen to Pink Floyd, which I've been listening to since I was 16.
If you liked that, the whole Pulse concert is full of all Pink Floyd legendary songs. It truly is on a level that few concerts could ever reach. You'll be blown away in the best possible way if you invest the time to watch it from start to finish. It will open your eyes, ears and mind to the brilliance of this band. I hope you watch it, it will leave your chin on your chest.
I was in London for a month before this and stayed because my friend’s Uncle had influence enough to score us tickets to the night this was recorded Earl’s Court October 20th. This has always been my favorite concert.. and I have seen over 120 concerts.
The PULSE Concert was a LEGENDARY show. It actually turned out to be the band's final tour, in support of “The Division Bell”, their final studio album. (They released one more studio album, some 20 years later, but it was mostly out-takes and un-used material from other albums. Not really the same.) They recorded 16 nights at Earl’s Court, in London, and crafted the PULSE recording from the best of those two weeks (so named because the original CD release had a red LED in the spine which flashed, or 'pulsed’.) Pink Floyd were musical perfectionists, so the audio from this show is immaculate. As for the light show, well……you saw it. The whole night was like this. You can watch anything from this concert and trust that it will be AMAZING, with visuals that will knock your viewers’ socks off. It was one of the very first computerized light shows, and because in 1994, no one had any idea what a computer WAS, never mind what you could do with one, the performance was literally INDESCRIBABLE to anyone who wasn’t there, because there was nothing else to compare it to. Years later, when the DVD was released, you could at least put it on, and tell people, “THAT. THAT'S what it was like to be there!” I saw this concert with 65,000 friends, and it was mindblowing. The concert was actually BETTER than it looks on video. The Floyd put speakers around the venue perimeter, so sound could come at you from anywhere, and as you see, the performance was not limited to just the stage ~ you felt like it was an Experience, and you were inside that experience. You can choose to react to “Wish You Were Here”, a poignant conversation with the memory of a former band-mate, Syd Barrett, whom they had to fire after 3 albums because of his LSD use and mental health issues. Or “Time”, about living and dying in 3/4 time. Or “Run Like Hell”, “Another Brick In The Wall (part 2)”, “Money”, pretty much anything you want from PULSE. They’re all impressive. My personal favorite for showing you what it was like to be in the audience that night is “One Of These Days”. Pink Floyd brought their own reality, and for three hours, they let us visit them there.
WOW- I had no idea it was their final tour! Before you said "It was one of the very first computerized light shows" I was thinking it must have been one of the first. To be there and experience that for the first time must have been next level! Just like you said- it must have been indescribable because the words wouldn't have even existed! I believe you that it was better in person- it always is! Just the energy from the crowd would have been mind boggling. There's a word in the Maori language that describes an indescribable- almost transcendent- experience you get from watching a performance. Your description reminds me of that (although I can't think of the word and google isn't helping to jog my memory lol). Thanks for the suggestions- I really appreciate it!
Lady .. WELCOME .. To " Pink Floyd " ! Enjoy the worlds BEST no comparison ever EVER ! Best concert without a shadow of a doubt especially as this was in 1994 was there with my daughter .. Can't put it into words how we felt after the show ! Enjoy ..
Great reaction!! Just remember to never, ever, ever pause during a David Gilmour guitar solo!! It's sacrilege!! Let the dive down the rabbit hole commence! This was probably the greatest live show of all time! You could start with the opener: Shine on You crazy Diamond and work your way through till the final encore, Run Like Hell. Every single song is a breathtaking performance! The whole show is available on youtube. The Dark Side of the Moon is performed in it's entirety, it's a concept album so there are no breaks between individual tracks and the transitions are subliminal! You may need to react in two parts, ending with The Great Gig in the Sky and the 2nd reaction beginning with Money.... Enjoy!
Every guitar 🎸 wants David Gilmour for Christmas. PF isn’t something you listen too, it’s something you experience. You just heard one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history 🤘 and thank you for not pausing during the solo! MORE PF! React to anything from the Pulse Concert… it’s a masterpiece. You won’t be disappointed!
I was at that concert (three rows from the front, almost centre stage) and this was the 2nd encore. By the time they got to this, they had been playing for just over 2 hours. And if THAT solo had been an hour long. NOBODY there would have minded - or cared. And well done for not pausing the solo - so many others do and are rightly castigated for it. Also, the original edit is much better than this re-edited version (though the audio is the same [almost]) This version slightly edits the solo - you can tell by how fast that circular screen is levelled above them.
You will never be able to unhear it now You have experienced true divine guitar playing unlike anyone else on earth Lyrical playing that the angels bow before and god smiles I wish you peace ✌️
You have no idea how deep of a rabbit hole you've stumbled upon. You can watch any song from the Pulse concert and not go wrong. It's one of the best live performances ever produced.
What an amazing reaction. I'm so glad you chose the pre edited version. Its much better. I hope it encourages you to watch the whole concert, maybe just for your own enjoyment. You'll love it. Please will you react to some live Queen, perhaps, "Somebody to Love." Either Montreal in 81, or Milton Keynes in 82. Can't wait to see more of your videos 😍
Pink Floyd is Progressive Rock. And Blues. And Funk, Country, Electronica, Classical, Folk, Orchestral, Jazz, Choral, even Music Concrète. Regardless of style, they make you FEEL. ... Nobody else does music quite like The Floyd.
This concert is 30 years ago and is probably the pinnacle of modern music. David Gilmour (guitar and vocalist) is now 78 and has just completed a tour with his band and daughter on vocals and harp. Some video of his concerts at Madison Square Gardens earlier this month is available on RUclips.
I've just seen him for the first time this year at the Royal Albert Hall in London . Phenomenal . Probably just ruined any other concert I attend lol Nothing wll match that night for me
Great Reaction Sorrow from pulse concert is Awesome also Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell both from same concert. On The Turning Away live 1988 also very good.
I was never lucky enough to bag Pink Floyd tickets . But this year a dream and bucket list came true . I got tickets for David Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall 11th October . I dont think any concert i attend for the rest of my life will live upto that night. .
Welcome to the Prog rock rabbit hole Pink Floyd has been part of my soundscspe for 50 years. I am now 61, and I FINALLY Get the lyrics. How they wrote this in their 20's is beyond me Great reaction
Kate, great that you reacted to this classic performance!!! I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. I had 18th row seats on the floor and it was an experience of a lifetime. Had also previously seen them in 1987 in Austin. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reacting to more from this same Pulse tour, such as "High Hopes", "Take It Back", "Run Like Hell" (unbelievable light show), and "Us and Them" (which is originally from the Dark Side of the Moon album). All phenomenal performances!!!!
No other song EVER has the ability to send the wave of emotion over me that comfortably numb does. Time after time, it never fails! Sir David Gilmour makes that guitar speak to your soul. The greatest!
The best band in the world............ Period No other band can pick you up and take you somewhere else with sound. Pink Floyd are an experience. This concert "Pulse" is probably one of the best production live concerts ever. They play the Dark side of the moon album in its entirety at this concert. I wish I could turn back time to have been there.
RIP Richard and Claudia. Daft fact. The mirror ball cost about 50 grand and used a lighthouse lamp. Great reaction. No Roger here of course, but Guy Pratt does a grand job.
I loved the "this guy's pretty good" at 8:05. If only you had said it without a trace of obvious (and clearly warranted) enthusiasm, you would have qualified as an honorary Brit. But seriously, thank you for your joy, and I'm so glad that people now can appreciate such gems from the past.
Saw them when they came to DC for this tour both nights when I graduated high school in 94. Best show ever. I've heard this version hundreds of times and it does not get old.
...hi Kate - first time for me on your channel ...your shiny eyes & broad smiles fitted the performance perfectly... 😎 P.U.L.S.E was a milestone of live ProgRock shows in every possible way... next you could do 'Time' or 'Great gig in the sky' - live or studio - both versions are outstanding in their own way 🎸💖
Always heart warming and touching to see people of all ages discover Pink Floyd. My son was born in 2009 and Comfortably Numb is his favourite song and me and my son both share the love for David Gilmour’s solo, which you also discovered. There is a Pink Floyd that’s named Take It Back, so you can try that one. But first you need to check out The Great Gig In The Sky, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond. All from the same Pulse tour and newly digitally renewed on RUclips. And all of the videos from Pulse are mesmerising to watch, pieces of music history, played by one the world’s best live bands live. Also from Pulse: Sorrow, Another Brick In The Wall, Us And Them, One Of These Days
LOL! "This guy is pretty good." True enough. You know, I also heard that Pope guy is kinda of religious... I loved your reaction, it's always good to see someone get blown away from hearing Pink Floyd for the first time. Well done! 😊
I find it incredible how much fun you had watching and listening to the unique music of Pink Floyd. By the way, your beautiful smile shone as bright as the lights at the concert.
I was at at least 4 pink floyd concerts every one a great experience the music is great but the live concerts are an experience you'll never forget and are hard to describe in words to others 😊😊😊😮😮❤
Always love seeing this video and somebody watching it for the first time. Not sure anybody puts on a greater concert experience. David just finished a tour and I hope it wasn't his last.
Probably the best concert guitar solo ever recorded. Thank you for not interrupting the guitar solo. If you ever do interrupt a Gilmour solo you hear about it in comments. Next song, Great Gig in the Sky. Don’t do any research on the song before hand. Just listen to it.
When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD. The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt) 😎 Whatever it cost to go to this concert, it was worth it.🤑 Happy belated 4/20+
Hi, i flew from Australia just for the PULSE concert, i have been a Floydy for over 50 years now, and taught myself to play a guitar after hearing, Wish you were here. another good song is Time (studio version). the lyrics are 100% true, and makes you think. if you want a good sound, listen to welcome to the machine, (studio version) with a good set of headphones, volume UP lights down. Every PF album is a journey and each track is a different road on that journey. 😁😁😁 David Gilmour can make a guitar, talk sing and cry all at the same time, and the song has nothing to do with drugs as many people think. It is an autobiographical song by Roger Waters the original bass player, about when he got sick as a child,and again when he was on tour, the doctor was called, gave him some medication, and that's why he became comfortably numb.
Best live band in the history of the world
Totally agree!
facts
No doubt 👍👍
Yup.
Hard to argue that.
Congratulations! You’ve just experienced the greatest guitar solo in the world - of all time!
Edited guitar solo
@@davidboyle2476 This is true. A few verses have been cut from the guitar solo.
It is impossible and useless to rank artists or art and say which is the best. But David's beautiful, melodic solo has probably touched more people emotionally than any other solo in classic rock. It must be pretty good if it makes a grown man like me cry like a baby.
@@paanikki, as you are saying... the solo is considered to be the best ever.
Actually prefer the edited version. @@davidboyle2476
There is "Music" and there is "Pink Floyd". They brings you somewhere out of your body!
Pink Floyd made me fly for the last 55 years and I've been bless for that!
Me too, Brother!!!
Me too!!! ❤
You have started down a rabbit hole from which you will never recover. Good luck. ❤
It is very deep and worth every inch. Floyd is music for a lifetime.
Got that right!
Ja das stimmt .....nie wieder 👍🏻
@irishboy0001 Correct!!
the entire pulse concert is fantastic like this, each song different and great
I was in Venezia july 1989, and personally prefer Pompei's live version.....anyway best solo ever🎉
I was fortunate enough to be in the crowd this night. It was the most amazing gig I've ever been too
I like the version with David Bowie and Crosby and Nash. Try that one out.
I would give up every concert I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot , just to have been at that show . Signed jealous .
Just start listening to all of it - Dark Side of The Moon, The Wall, Animals, it’s all high art that moves your soul.
I saw Pink Floyd on this tour in 94, as well as a few other times. The music is a life altering experience. Being there live can’t be compared to anything else.
You will love any song from the Pulse Concert😊
Thanks for the recommendation!
Wow, what a emphatic and joyful reaction ... you can choose anything from David Gilmour's PULSE Concert ... maybe a good start is "High Hopes" "Sorrow" or "The great gig in the the sky"
Thanks friend. That's a great suggestion!
"Wish You Were Here"
Run like Hell from this Pulse concert which was the encore.
That's exactly the reaction we had when they released that song. It was the age of real music! Thanks, for the great video!
Been watching this video for 30 years and I'll never get sick of seeing reaction videos. It's so cool to see people blown away by it like I've always been. That solo🤘
It was cool to be blown away and see how many people are in awe of such great talent!
Every time i cry on this guitarsolo. I heard it about 50000 times
I love how David Gilmour stands there in a t-shirt and jeans, looking like someone's dad about to go out and mow the lawn. Then he calmly rips your heart out with the greatest guitar solos ever.
Massive Floyd fan since 1972 when i was 10 my dad bought me Meddle my 1st Floyd LP . Seen them twice The Wall tour 1980 and this concert Pulse Tour 1994 , two of the best nights of my life

Pink Floyd..the best of their genre and the greatest guitar solo ever by David Gilmore. Your continuous smile said it all. Music can say more than words ever can! Great reaction. Your smile is infectious. So keep smiling.
Guy Pratt, the bassist here, still performs with David. I just saw both of them in LA a month ago, and was hands down one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Also, how in the world has someone never heard this song before?
Isn't he Richard's son in law?
@ I did not know that, but just read that they did divorce.
@@vickiejenkins-tripp5994 Yes, Guy did marry Richard's daughter!
One of the best guitar solos of all time!!!
You walked into one of the most jaw dropping performances ever
I love your energy :) Will love to watch more reactions with you ;-)
I am 66 years old and still rock out to Pink Floyd. Had the privilege of seeing them twice, back in the day. Too bad there will no more music like this ever again. I liked your reaction when David Gilmore started. Peace
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! One for your Amazing, heartfelt Reaction. Two for reacting to this particular song in this particular concert. The Pulse concert is absolutely perfect.
And three perhaps most importantly for not breaking the cardinal rule of Never, Ever, Ever, interrupting a David Gilmour guitar solo!

Or any guitar solo….
Ok, so your smile is a joy to behold! Totally infectious and I love it. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands of all time. Uniquely deep and stunning in every way. David Gilmore is the GOAT on guitar!
Thank you Lawrence- I wear my retainer every night 🤣. David Gilmore does indeed seem like a GOAT!

"This guy is good"
Understatement of the century!!
Yup i was there at 22 yrs old now im 52 .30 yrs ago omg. REALLY liked your reaction. Wasnt that the coolest show EVER!!!.
19yo, Denver Colorado.
Still the best concert I've ever experienced.
I've seen Page & Plant, The Stones, Aerosmith, The Dead, you name it. Even Chuck Berry, John Kay and Steppenwolf.
AC/DC, Metallica.
Slayer in a small venue.
...
THIS performance is the finest thing I have ever witnessed.
Just to see the pure joy and happiness of her reaction says everything you need to now.😊

I never got the chance to see Pink Floyd in concert. I’ll bet it was quite an experience for those lucky enough to have seen them.

ON THE TURNING AWAY , LIVE is another perfect song 😊
I was lucky enough to be at that concert! Absolutely unforgettable!
Shine on you Crazy Diamond, in 2 parts, is quite extraordinary, and magical ❤
Great reaction! Your smile and facial expressions tell the whole story! You just heard the greatest guitar solo ever recorded!
The best band of all time. And the emotions to which we are transported with David Gilmour's guitar are priceless. I'm almost 70 years old and tears still come to my eyes when I listen to Pink Floyd, which I've been listening to since I was 16.

Just LOVE your reactions..Sooo True and one can really hear you're in it ...😅😅😅😅😅 True metal...
David Gilmore dressed like he's taking a trip to Home Depot but instead decided to perform the greatest guitar solo ever.
Love your energy.
PF is absolutely legendary.
❤❤❤
Lady .. WELCOME .. To " Pink Floyd " ! Enjoy the worlds BEST no comparison ever EVER ! Best concert without a shadow of a doubt especially as this was in 1994 was there with my daughter .. Can't put it into words how we felt after the show ! Enjoy ..
Anything from this Pulse concert with blow you away......
From the same show, which I was privileged to have attended two of the sixteen nights, High Hopes, Keep Talking, and One of These Days.
Great reaction!! Just remember to never, ever, ever pause during a David Gilmour guitar solo!! It's sacrilege!! Let the dive down the rabbit hole commence!
This was probably the greatest live show of all time!
You could start with the opener: Shine on You crazy Diamond and work your way through till the final encore, Run Like Hell. Every single song is a breathtaking performance! The whole show is available on youtube. The Dark Side of the Moon is performed in it's entirety, it's a concept album so there are no breaks between individual tracks and the transitions are subliminal! You may need to react in two parts, ending with The Great Gig in the Sky and the 2nd reaction beginning with Money....
Enjoy!
Thanks for letting me know Nick! I didn't even realize I did 🙈🤣
Every song at that concert was amazing.
Every guitar 🎸 wants David Gilmour for Christmas. PF isn’t something you listen too, it’s something you experience. You just heard one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history 🤘 and thank you for not pausing during the solo! MORE PF! React to anything from the Pulse Concert… it’s a masterpiece. You won’t be disappointed!
I was at that concert (three rows from the front, almost centre stage) and this was the 2nd encore. By the time they got to this, they had been playing for just over 2 hours. And if THAT solo had been an hour long. NOBODY there would have minded - or cared.
And well done for not pausing the solo - so many others do and are rightly castigated for it.
Also, the original edit is much better than this re-edited version (though the audio is the same [almost]) This version slightly edits the solo - you can tell by how fast that circular screen is levelled above them.
EPIC!...Sam Browne on backing vocal, special!.
You will never be able to unhear it now
You have experienced true divine guitar playing unlike anyone else on earth
Lyrical playing that the angels bow before and god smiles
I wish you peace ✌️
You have no idea how deep of a rabbit hole you've stumbled upon. You can watch any song from the Pulse concert and not go wrong. It's one of the best live performances ever produced.
What an amazing reaction. I'm so glad you chose the pre edited version. Its much better. I hope it encourages you to watch the whole concert, maybe just for your own enjoyment. You'll love it.
Please will you react to some live Queen, perhaps, "Somebody to Love." Either Montreal in 81, or Milton Keynes in 82.
Can't wait to see more of your videos 😍
You have just experienced one of the most epic guitar solos ever!
You just heard the greatest song ever recorded! I listen to this song at least once a day. Enjoy the Floyd journey.
Pink Floyd is Progressive Rock.
And Blues.
And Funk, Country, Electronica, Classical, Folk, Orchestral, Jazz, Choral, even Music Concrète.
Regardless of style, they make you FEEL.
...
Nobody else does music quite like The Floyd.
This was back in 1994, 30 years ago. The whole concert / production was so ahead of its time, it still feels fresh today. Next: „High hopes“!
Thank you for not stopping the video and commenting in the middle of Gilmore’s guitar solo.
I saw them on this tour and the live show was capital-A amazing
They are in a category all their own and the store and sound is incomparable
I was lucky to be at Earl's Court to witness one of the shows. The most incredible live guitar solos ever.
This concert is 30 years ago and is probably the pinnacle of modern music. David Gilmour (guitar and vocalist) is now 78 and has just completed a tour with his band and daughter on vocals and harp. Some video of his concerts at Madison Square Gardens earlier this month is available on RUclips.
I've just seen him for the first time this year at the Royal Albert Hall in London .
Phenomenal . Probably just ruined any other concert I attend lol
Nothing wll match that night for me
Great Reaction Sorrow from pulse concert is Awesome also Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell both from same concert. On The Turning Away live 1988 also very good.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I was there that night!! Earls Court.....Comfortably Numb was the 2nd of 3 encore songs they performed....the whole concert was astounding!
I was never lucky enough to bag Pink Floyd tickets .
But this year a dream and bucket list came true . I got tickets for David Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall 11th October . I dont think any concert i attend for the rest of my life will live upto that night. .
Welcome to the Prog rock rabbit hole
Pink Floyd has been part of my soundscspe for 50 years. I am now 61, and I FINALLY Get the lyrics. How they wrote this in their 20's is beyond me
Great reaction
Take a song like time.They were young men but to have the insight that they did,or rather Roger Waters did to write such insightfull lyrics
Kate, great that you reacted to this classic performance!!! I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. I had 18th row seats on the floor and it was an experience of a lifetime. Had also previously seen them in 1987 in Austin. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reacting to more from this same Pulse tour, such as "High Hopes", "Take It Back", "Run Like Hell" (unbelievable light show), and "Us and Them" (which is originally from the Dark Side of the Moon album). All phenomenal performances!!!!
No other song EVER has the ability to send the wave of emotion over me that comfortably numb does. Time after time, it never fails!
Sir David Gilmour makes that guitar speak to your soul. The greatest!
The best band in the world............ Period
No other band can pick you up and take you somewhere else with sound.
Pink Floyd are an experience.
This concert "Pulse" is probably one of the best production live concerts ever.
They play the Dark side of the moon album in its entirety at this concert.
I wish I could turn back time to have been there.
RIP Richard and Claudia. Daft fact. The mirror ball cost about 50 grand and used a lighthouse lamp. Great reaction. No Roger here of course, but Guy Pratt does a grand job.
I loved the "this guy's pretty good" at 8:05.
If only you had said it without a trace of obvious (and clearly warranted) enthusiasm, you would have qualified as an honorary Brit.
But seriously, thank you for your joy, and I'm so glad that people now can appreciate such gems from the past.
I am 77 and still have all their albums ❤
Masterpiece.
Saw them when they came to DC for this tour both nights when I graduated high school in 94. Best show ever. I've heard this version hundreds of times and it does not get old.
Thanks for this reaction, a pink floyd and David Gilmour fan.
This amazing performance can only be equaled by your smile and enthusiasm 🎉❤
Great reaction, Thank you😊👍
Thank you!
...hi Kate - first time for me on your channel ...your shiny eyes & broad smiles fitted the performance perfectly... 😎
P.U.L.S.E was a milestone of live ProgRock shows in every possible way... next you could do 'Time' or 'Great gig in the sky' - live or studio - both versions are outstanding in their own way 🎸💖
Always heart warming and touching to see people of all ages discover Pink Floyd. My son was born in 2009 and Comfortably Numb is his favourite song and me and my son both share the love for David Gilmour’s solo, which you also discovered.
There is a Pink Floyd that’s named Take It Back, so you can try that one. But first you need to check out The Great Gig In The Sky, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond. All from the same Pulse tour and newly digitally renewed on RUclips. And all of the videos from Pulse are mesmerising to watch, pieces of music history, played by one the world’s best live bands live.
Also from Pulse: Sorrow, Another Brick In The Wall, Us And Them, One Of These Days
LOL! "This guy is pretty good."
True enough. You know, I also heard that Pope guy is kinda of religious...
I loved your reaction, it's always good to see someone get blown away from hearing Pink Floyd for the first time. Well done! 😊
Great reaction video - thank you!
I find it incredible how much fun you had watching and listening to the unique music of Pink Floyd.
By the way, your beautiful smile shone as bright as the lights at the concert.
I was at at least 4 pink floyd concerts every one a great experience the music is great but the live concerts are an experience you'll never forget and are hard to describe in words to others 😊😊😊😮😮❤
OK, I see you’re doing Comfortably Numb so I’ll give you my approval after you do your thing
Always love seeing this video and somebody watching it for the first time. Not sure anybody puts on a greater concert experience. David just finished a tour and I hope it wasn't his last.
NOW YOUR IN THE FLOYD FAMILY! LIVE IT LOVE IT. WE LOVE YOU!
Great reaction! Beautiful smile!
Pulse concert.... All of it.. Especially Run Like Hell, One Of These Days, Great Gig in the Sky... Time
Still epic🇸🇪Nice reaction girl...
Probably the best concert guitar solo ever recorded. Thank you for not interrupting the guitar solo. If you ever do interrupt a Gilmour solo you hear about it in comments. Next song, Great Gig in the Sky. Don’t do any research on the song before hand. Just listen to it.
Your excitement is contagious.
I would suggest more Pulse Concert…Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Great Gig in the Sky…everything is awesome.
Saw them twice in the 80s. Awesome.
Youre fantastic, more of pink Floyd please , greetings from México
New suscriber ❤
I was there the night they filmed this. Awesome.
When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD.
The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt) 😎
Whatever it cost to go to this concert, it was worth it.🤑
Happy belated 4/20+
Hi, i flew from Australia just for the PULSE concert, i have been a Floydy for over 50 years now, and taught myself to play a guitar after hearing, Wish you were here. another good song is Time (studio version). the lyrics are 100% true, and makes you think. if you want a good sound, listen to welcome to the machine, (studio version) with a good set of headphones, volume UP lights down. Every PF album is a journey and each track is a different road on that journey. 😁😁😁 David Gilmour can make a guitar, talk sing and cry all at the same time, and the song has nothing to do with drugs as many people think. It is an autobiographical song by Roger Waters the original bass player, about when he got sick as a child,and again when he was on tour, the doctor was called, gave him some medication, and that's why he became comfortably numb.
