Not quite 50 for me. I discovered them in 1976, when I was 13. In the first class of the year our 3rd form music teacher simply played Dark Side of the Moon on his kick-ass Nakamichi system. While I"m here, a couple of comments for OP: "they look like a couple of dads". Well, yeah, this is 1994, two of the band members (drummer Nick Mason and main keyboardist Richard Wright (nearer the front) were in the band since 1965, lead singer/guitarist David Gilmour joined in January 1968.

I was working at a grocery store in early 70's Went to the Walgreens (drug store) next door for lunch and they had a bin of clearance records .I bought Umma Gumma because i thought I could get my money's worth just throwing them against the wall. Been listening to them ever since.@@BruceHoult
I'm now 60 years old, and when my son was born in 1989, I made sure to turn him on to all the 60s 70s and 80s bands. Pink Floyd is one of his favorite bands. I couldn't be more proud.
Assume you're in the UK then. Must have been quite the experience. Astronomy Domine is the only thing I really like from that period, but I've seen video from some live show they did, I think as part of some 24 hour or longer concert -- John Lennon and Yoko are seen in different parts of the crowd, they hadn't met yet. I started school in December 1967, on the other side of the Earth, so I missed all that stuff first time around.@@2ridiculous41
I don't know any other guitarist that can channel the sound of the human spirit better than David. I get chills anytime I hear these solos. It truly resonates to the soul.
David Gilmour is guitar LEGEND!!! I totally agree with you!!! Every more he plays is filled with pure passion. The second solo, in my opinion, is the greatest ever. So much emotion, so much raw power. He crushed every single note. Incredible!! I'll never get tired of listening to his guitar work!!!
You don't listen to a Pink Floyd song, you experience a Pink Floyd album. And being at a concert is an out of this world experience. You start to feel a connection to everyone else and it just becomes a collective event, everyone feeling the same way at the same time. I feel lucky to have seen them live when I did.
Just fyi, this solo by David Gilmour has now been voted #1 in rock history! Keep going down the PF rabbit hole, they are the best! BTW, this concert was so good, had to see it twice! They started in 60s so yes, they were little older there, but we all were. Been listening for 50+ years and still going strong!
I saw them at the Grandy Ballroom in 1968. Also The Who in 1969. They performed the rock opera Tommy for the first time in North America there. The good ol days in Detroit.
And very well deserved it is. I have heard this song hundreds of times but every time I see this live video I tear up by both the solo and how perfect Rick Wright and Gilmour complemented each other when they sang (best example being Echoes live at Pompeii).
I've been a huge fan of Pink Floyd for almost 50 years, they are the masters of live music with David Gilmour one of THE top guitar players ever. The solo in this is probably the best ever. Try any song from "Pulse", you won't be disappointed. You will also find many guitar solos of epic length.
I hear you!!!!! First time I saw them July 14th, 1968. They were opening for The Who at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. Grande was Detroit's Fillmore, but not an auditorium, a dance room. I stood not 5 feet from Sir David. They played Set the Controls.... and I was hooked for life. Saw them 1 other time in Seattle while in the Navy. It was a small 2500 seat auditorium. Could never bring myself to go to a stadium. But what I wouldn't have given to been at one of these Earl's Court performances.
I’d suggest listening to studio versions before live. You’ll realise how bloody good they are, pink Floyd are only one of a few bands that can perform as good or better live than what they do in studio. No other band like em and never will be.
Yeah, take in both studio and live versions. They will slightly differ and yet, each have their merits. This Pulse concert is the best source for live performances for any of their songs.
Normally I would agree however I would say that with the pulse concert two songs specifically stand out in their best form, Sorrow and Comfortably numb
On stage are 3 of the actual Pink Floyd band, David Gilmour on guitar/vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on keyboard. And yeah, they are legends for good reason. Decades of being at the top was well earned.
Pink Floyd is an ESSENTIAL part of music history. They started in the mid-60s but reached their peak from the mid-70s to early 80s. Their two biggest albums, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and The Wall (1979) are worth listening to in their entirety, (go do it, do it now, do it now, do it now, lol). They made a (very, very weird) movie in 1982 based on their album, The Wall, which tells the story of a man having a psychotic breakdown reliving his childhood traumas (of which factors this song in heavily). Nobody sounds like Pink Floyd, and much of their music is experimental and ethereal, and many of their songs are longer than average with large instrumentals and solos in them. There is also a very strange coincidence that if you take the movie, The Wizard of Oz (1939), and you take Pink Floyd's album, The Dark Side of the Moon, and you press play on the album on loop after the third roar of the MGM lion in the opening of the movie, the songs PERFECTLY narrate and describe what is going on (even after it loops around). The band has debunked the rumor that it was on purpose and is in fact, just a very, very, very odd coincidence, but it is still nonetheless a very cool and trippy thing to do. Me and my buddies did that in college in the 90s and it's really weird and fun. Other songs by them to check out include "Mother", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Time", "Money", and "I wish you were here" Cheers
You do know that the Wizard of Oz thing is complete nonsense? lol. Play ANY album over ANY film and your mind will create a few moments of synchronicity. Our minds search for patterns, even when there are none... :)
Presque tout leurs albums sont des chef d oeuvre, ummagumma, atom heart mother, meddle, dark side, wish you were here, animals, the wall, final cut... les autres sont moins fort
The Floyd achieved full rock stardom, to the level of stadium filled gigs all over the world, but they were never known to publicly indulge in the classic rockstar shenanigans. It was always and mostly about the music, and thats one more reason to love and respect them so much. At this point they had almost 30 years of music behind them, millions and millions of records and sold out venues, and a legendary seat at the pantheon of the Gods of Rock.
Spot on comment mate ! Nice house, cars comfortably ( numb ) off ! Great life and they do really deserve it ! As do their road crew, who I know are looked after, and no grief or mental green room demands 😂 like other alleged top stars ! How would you like to perform after Pink Floyd then ?
Pink Floyd is a musical voyage. Each song takes you away. This particular song is an emotional cleansing. It grips you with the music and rips you with the lyrics. Lay back, turn up the volume and let Floyd take you away. They will bring you home and ready you for the next journey.
Dear Michael, it is the first time that I watch one of your videos. I am 58 yo and since I was 13, Pink Floyd have been a huge part of my life. I absolutely loved your reaction, your genuine appreciation for something unique "...usually solos last 20 seconds, this has gone for 5 minutes.." etcetera. This is for me the greatest rock band the world has ever witnessed. Their music will leave forever. Young people who love music need to look back to the 70s as well, without of course forgetting that there is still great music being made today.
Mr. Duffy, I saw them twice in concert, including this tour. You are right about the crowd. No yelling or jumping up and down. Just stunned silence with mouths agape at the awesome “trippyness” before us.
Glad you appreciate this. Good reaction and I'm so glad you noticed thd lightship and scale of it - so many reactors close thier eyes! The song wasn't the last song in the concert... they raised it a notch with Run Like Hell
Widely considered to be one of the best guitar solo ever recorded. The entire Pulse concert is superb. Check out "Time", "Sorrow" and "Run like hell" from the same concert. Also "Echoes" live at Pompei
You said they look like dads and not what you expected. Dah, they’re old enough now to be your dad. They started in the late 60’s, younger than you when they started. Us dads and grandpa’s can still rock.😎 Okay…I had to add, what is that bottle of mayonnaise doing stuffed in your couch?
I was 19 when Dark Side of the Moon came out. I was at the first performance opening their American Tour in '73. It was my first rock concert. $4 ticket, I think. After that, they were all just rock concerts. Do yourself a HUGE favor and listen to Dark Side start to finish and not song by song. If you thought this experience was great, wait til you digest that album. Thanks for sharing your experience, it brings me back 49 years.
I was 18. DSOTM changed my life. Still, to this day, almost 50 years later, it's still an experience I'm digging on the Parsons Quad mix as I'm typing this: ruclips.net/video/lXBqtoymJFo/видео.html
Pink Floyd doesn't tour, but David Gilmour (the guitarist) was touring at 72 years old and you can find his concert DAVID GILMOUR LIVE AT POMPEII here on RUclips. You need to see him rocking this same song (he closed the show with it) and you also need to go watch the whole concert. Most of it is Pink Floyd stuff, with some of his solo stuff thrown in.
Pink Floyd are the 3rd best selling band in the history of music , and the 8th biggest including solo artists. They have sold 260 million albums and inspired so many artists from different genres of music , from electronic to heavy metal. Artists like Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Nightwish, Dream Theatre, Smashing Pumpkins, Tame Impala, Korn , etc etc
@@Attraktor63 yes both Floyd and Led Zeppelin sold more studio albums than the Beatles , but not when compilation, greatest hits etc are added. The Beatles are then way ahead on nearly 450 million
This is one of my favorite songs of Pink Floyd. I've been a fan for decades now, and they're on a whole other level of emotional pain music. When I first took the time to listen to their music and lyrics, I was hooked. Also, when my dad was dying in the hospital, he was trying to tell me something but I couldn't hear what he was saying, so those lyrics hit home for sure. Yes. They started in the late 1960s.
David Gilmour.. lead vocals and guitar, is 76 years old now. He last toured in 2016 as a solo artist but performing many of Pink Floyd's greatest hits with his own band. He and Floyd are legends. Check out the studio version of "Time" by them next. (The younger guys you see on stage, touring support musicians, not members of Floyd).
Just to clarify, the drummer, Nick Mason, and the principal keyboardist, Richard Wright, are both original members of the band. Ironically, lead singer and guitarist, David Gilmour, was not an original member, but joined in 1968 replacing founding guitarist, singer and songwriter Syd Barrett who suffered a life altering psychological breakdown and could no longer perform.
No, do not check out "Time" from "The Dark Side Of The Moon". Listen to the whole album, at one go, It's only 43 minutes and 9 seconds long, and it WILL change your life, like it did for me back in 1973 when it came out. The songs are designed to go from one to the next, and if you JUST listen to "TIme", the context will be lost. Here's the version of the album I'm digging right now: ruclips.net/video/lXBqtoymJFo/видео.html
@@RogerSouthwick ideally Floyd albums should be listened to in their entirety but not everyone has the time. Especially when you're reacting to and posting multiple reactions on your channel from hundreds of suggestions. "Time" is one of the most played Floyd songs on classic rock stations around the world. It gives a very good sampling of what he's in for should he decide to explore them deeper. I think this whole demand from Floyd fans to listen to the entire album or nothing, scares more reactors off than anything else. That would be the ideal, but not necessary for a good reaction.
This is one of the first bands of what we now call prog rock. Progressive rock is a UK thing and it is just more intricate musical production and usually longer songs. This all started because when the band started out they didn't have a big back log of original songs, so to take up time on live sets they would just use more instrumentation and visuals for the audience. Other notable bands of that period were Genisis and Yes.
I was in Prague, in the middle 1990's, after a 10-20-inch snow fall, walking back from a bar at 1AM, in the old part of the town, cobble stone streets, when someone cranked out Coming Back to Life in the alley ways. It was magical, listening to the guitar solo at the beginning, during the heavy snowfall. Every time I hear it on the Pulse album, I am out there, in the snow, once again. When I die, I want them to play that song at my funeral.
A Pink Floyd song is not about «melody» or rimes. It's about emotions. The big disco ball is highly symbolic. First of all, it wasn't seen until the lights spotted it. It was simply not there! Hidden in a box in the ceilling. So when it got lit, you can understand why the audience went wild. And then, when it opened up and showed the shining diamond that's inside, a direct reference to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (which refer to Syd Barrett), the fans understood! Genius!
I couldn't agree more, and I will simply add the highlight of that show for me is the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" from top to bottom with amazing hits both before and after. Peace (Frog) - I dig your name immensely, btw...
I was in the audience the night it was filmed, Earls Court in London. Pink Floyd played 12 nights at the conclusion at that venue, and I was there for 3 of those performances. I tear up every time I see this song played.
hear* Every time you HEAR the song being played. Don't be like the kids that think music is to be watched. Music is to be LISTENED to. PF is best enjoyed with eyes closed.
Actually, it is the 4th. Michael Jackson's hriller is the highest selling album. Dark side of the Moon was on Billboards' top 200 list the longest - around 17 years. It was the 4th highest selling album of all time.
I have a great live performance from when they were a little younger...From- The Delicate sound of thunder Concert...On The Turning Away. great live performance
“Head music” as we stoners called it. And they were probably about your age when they started in the ‘60s. Pink Floyd is essential listening to anyone caring to know what musical instruments are capable of, without studio enhancements.
Much of Pink Floyd's music is instrumental-based. After this I would seriously recommend you listen to both "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" IN FULL and in one sitting each - and also Echoes (which is a 24 minute masterpiece. Your ears will thank you.
Back when music really was music...!! No bells, no whistles, no fakery, no voice manipulation...Wasn't needed..Pink Floyd will never get old..(Actually speaking of bells, one of their was songs did include bells...) 😉😆
That song would be High Hopes. That's worth checking out as well and also ends with a long instrumental solo. Probably one of their best tracks after Roger Waters left.
When i was a kid my parents and greatparents grneration said the mudic of my time - including Pink Floyd - was garbage and that only real music was made back in their time, that the kuds' music was nothing but trash and noise, music that today is reverexas great vlassics nowadays. The old farts of my childhood days were wrong and nowadays guys like you are also wrong. Dont blame the music of today just because now you are out of the loop, just like our parents and grandies were back in our days. There's still great music today, you just cant find it today because the music distribution parafigma of today changed from when you were younger, the same way our parents xnd granfies were cluess back then. You are just out of the loop. You grew older. That's all.
I was in high school when Dark Side of the Moon came out... at the time there were many people who thought of it as "stoner music", which was kind of silly, it is exquisitely amazing music, universally enjoyable, and enough people caught on to that, that the album literally stayed on the billboard album charts for about 15 years straight after its release in '73... a feat that no other album of any genre ever came close to matching
I saw them in '94. I was 12 rows back from the stage. From the minute the concert started to the very end. It was damned mind blowing, amazing, cool, visually and music wise.stunning. it is still my number 1 fav concert i ever went too.
Welcome in Pink Floyd world... They actually started in the end of the 60's and are still a very special rock band. They made a lot of albums, all crazy and absolutely amazing. Beautiful reaction, thanks. Love from France 🇫🇷😘
One of my greatest pleasures in life is watching someone discover Pink Floyd..you’ll never be the same again! Great Gig In The Sky next..You want psychedelic music? Dark Side Of The Moon..DO IT NOW!
Welcome to the world of pink floyd. First, if you have a little time, you could read up the album you are about to listen to before you get into it. With pink floyd its kinda important. Each album is in fact a story so listening from start to finish is how they are designed. But be free to listen to any song by itself. Pink floyd is the pioneers of laser light shows and surround sound. 😁
I can not begin to explain the envy I have for you, discovering The Floyd for the first time. Then again, I pity you for not having discovered them earlier. The whole Dark Side Of The Moon from start to finish is a trip, that would be my recommendation for the next time! Thanks for the video!
My recommendation would be the song "Sorrow" from this same Pulse Concert...every song played there, from their long list of hits is just incredible and is in my humble opinion superior to the studio versions
Started early 1960's. Front man was Syd Barrett, who flipped out in the early 1970's... and led to a lot of rather mournful works from Dark Side of the Moon, and especially Wish You Were Here. Dark Side of the Moon was in the top 100 selling albums for a very long time. This show came off the "Pulse" tour DVD. If you like Gilmour's spectacular guitar work, try "One of These Days". It's an incredibly powerful piece. For a commentary on people, check out the "Animals" album. I like the album "Division Bell" too. The stuff from the 60s is a little too 60's acid for my taste.
The young guy on bass was a stand in for Roger Waters at this concert. The other main guys were originals from the 60s and 70s - so even in the 90s they were a pretty seasoned bunch - in their 40s mostly.
Guitarist extraordinaire, Mr. David Gilmore. Some more fantastic songs by Pink Floyd are "Another Brick in The Wall", "Money", "Dogs of War", "I Wish You Were Here". Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories. Enjoyed your reaction to PF hope to see more.
Pink Floyd’s is that kind band you just sit back and wait for an awesome experience. We were so blessed to have such unique talent back in the day. You never wanted the songs to end! Sure do miss this kind of talent. Very good reaction.
The band started in the mid to late 60’s. They hit it big in 1973 with Dark Side of the Moon. This concert was filmed at Earl’s Court in London in 1994. I saw this show in June 1994 at Yankee Stadium. It is still one of the best concert’s I have ever been to.
I was there, they did 14 nights at Earls Court. When the glitter ball came down it was amazing. The whole arena was lit up. I watched it from tier 2 close to the stage. To this day, the best concert I’ve ever had the privilege to witness.
I saw the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" Show two times, in Dortmund (Westfalenhalle) and in Cologne (Müngersdorfer Stadion). And in 1994, I saw the Pulse Show (The division bell). Unforgettable...
This is chill music. You should listen to the whole album. Suggest Sorrow” High Hopes” Every brick in the wall” Run like Hell” @ Pulse ❤Started in the mid 60’s David Gilmore on vocals, guitar 🎸
This is the 2nd iteration of pf, (well, kinda the third since Roger Waters isn't here in this video). Gilmour wasn't in the band to begin with. In the 60's when they began, Syd Barrett was the guitar player and a vocalist. Pink Floyd didn't even sound like the same band.
I’ve seen Pink Floyd 3 times, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was one of the best shows ever. When you see a metal bed come zipping over your head towards the stage, crashing and blowing up or the ANIMALS tour when they had the huge inflatable Pig floating over the audience, you never forget. Pink Floyd are the architects of the spectacular light show and huge video screens, everyone to come after them copied them!
I saw them in 87. Saw the bed fly into the stage after the video of the bed traveling through the hospital then eventually down the airport runway for take off, and the flying pig. Best concert ever. No warm up band just Pink Floyd for 2 to 3 hours.
And I guess I need to add that I am so glad to have been a teenager in the 70’s. Pink Floyd was a big part of that era. Music in the 70s was the best era for music in my opinion!
they are a couple of dads now but they have been together forever, the guy on guitar is David Gilmore and the guy on key boards and base it Roger Waters the two guys that wrote most of the music
Funny that you said "trippy" since Pink Floyd's genre can best be described as psychedelic rock. On their albums one song flows seamlessly into the next as if the entire album is one long song. (Decades before EDM djs did it) Also as you can tell they were known for their insane laser light shows. Experiencing one of their live shows on acid or estasy was almost an otherworldly spiritual experience. I went to the Pulse concert in 94 tripping balls. An experience I will never forget.
I attended the Pulse conserts in Oslo. It is still the musical highlight of my life. Thinking about it and what Pink Floyds music has meant to me all these years makes me nostalgic and very greatful for having experienced their musical aura in person.
They were huge in sixties seventies and up to now . Voted the best band in the world in the seventies. Also are still voted the best band in the world ever to this day .
ONE DOESN'T MERELY LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD, ONE EXPERIENCES THEM!
Well said
My wife wanted me to play Breathe for her . . But I can’t do that without playing Time and Breathe Reprise which means you have to play Gig as well. Anything else is just wrong.
Right on well said
Everyone always goes on about Roger Waters but David Gilmore is what made Pink Floyd sound like Pink Floyd
Back in the 70s you could watch Pink Floyd movies at the midnight matinee with packed, smoke filled theaters.
This is magic, no matter what mood you’re in David can bring tears to your eyes with this guitar solo.
And you won’t even know why your eyes start leaking
Every time.

Their two biggest albums, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and The Wall (1979) are worth listening to in their entirety, (go do it, do it now, do it now, do it now, lol). They made a (very, very weird) movie in 1982 based on their album, The Wall, which tells the story of a man having a psychotic breakdown reliving his childhood traumas (of which factors this song in heavily). Nobody sounds like Pink Floyd, and much of their music is experimental and ethereal, and many of their songs are longer than average with large instrumentals and solos in them.
There is also a very strange coincidence that if you take the movie, The Wizard of Oz (1939), and you take Pink Floyd's album, The Dark Side of the Moon, and you press play on the album on loop after the third roar of the MGM lion in the opening of the movie, the songs PERFECTLY narrate and describe what is going on (even after it loops around). The band has debunked the rumor that it was on purpose and is in fact, just a very, very, very odd coincidence, but it is still nonetheless a very cool and trippy thing to do. Me and my buddies did that in college in the 90s and it's really weird and fun.
Other songs by them to check out include "Mother", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Time", "Money", and "I wish you were here"
Cheers
High Hopes, Sorrow, Run Like Hell, also from this PULSE concert
You do know that the Wizard of Oz thing is complete nonsense? lol. Play ANY album over ANY film and your mind will create a few moments of synchronicity. Our minds search for patterns, even when there are none... :)
@@Codex7777 It also helps if you are completely wasted.
We tried the Wizard of Oz thing of course, til this day my favorite was the Cars with Barney Fife😂 could have been my altered state, but what fun!
Presque tout leurs albums sont des chef d oeuvre, ummagumma, atom heart mother, meddle, dark side, wish you were here, animals, the wall, final cut... les autres sont moins fort
The Floyd achieved full rock stardom, to the level of stadium filled gigs all over the world, but they were never known to publicly indulge in the classic rockstar shenanigans. It was always and mostly about the music, and thats one more reason to love and respect them so much.
At this point they had almost 30 years of music behind them, millions and millions of records and sold out venues, and a legendary seat at the pantheon of the Gods of Rock.
To take a page from John wick. Pink floyd is definitely in the high table of rock gods
Spot on comment mate ! Nice house, cars comfortably ( numb ) off ! Great life and they do really deserve it ! As do their road crew, who I know are looked after, and no grief or mental green room demands 😂 like other alleged top stars ! How would you like to perform after Pink Floyd then ?
Pink Floyd is a musical voyage. Each song takes you away. This particular song is an emotional cleansing. It grips you with the music and rips you with the lyrics. Lay back, turn up the volume and let Floyd take you away. They will bring you home and ready you for the next journey.
Guy dressed as dad shows up and plays the most epic solo ever.
Pink Floyd is named in honor of two elder black blues musicians from North Carolina, PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. The band formed in the mid 60s'.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
Dear Michael, it is the first time that I watch one of your videos. I am 58 yo and since I was 13, Pink Floyd have been a huge part of my life. I absolutely loved your reaction, your genuine appreciation for something unique "...usually solos last 20 seconds, this has gone for 5 minutes.." etcetera. This is for me the greatest rock band the world has ever witnessed. Their music will leave forever. Young people who love music need to look back to the 70s as well, without of course forgetting that there is still great music being made today.
Mr. Duffy, I saw them twice in concert, including this tour. You are right about the crowd. No yelling or jumping up and down. Just stunned silence with mouths agape at the awesome “trippyness” before us.
My friend, Pink Floyd, Best band ever, dont miss them!!
I hope you have went back and enjoyed this whole song without talking just to get lost in it!! ❤️
Good you get to experience what the rest of us have enjoyed for decades !!! Keep on listening
Even by today’s standards, the light show looks futuristic, which is incredible considering this concert happened almost 30 years ago.
Don't tell me it was so long ago... I was 18 when I attended to this tour.
@@garryiglesias4074 I was 25 when I saw them at Earls Court.
@@DaveZee823 I went to see them in Bordeaux, France. It was an outdoor concert on a huge place downtown. Great show.
@@garryiglesias4074 no kidding. I turned 18, graduated from high school and went to see Pink Floyd all in the same day! Trifecta!
@@abh2119 Hahaha ! "Impressive" (With the voice of Quake).
Glad you appreciate this. Good reaction and I'm so glad you noticed thd lightship and scale of it - so many reactors close thier eyes!
The song wasn't the last song in the concert... they raised it a notch with Run Like Hell
Widely considered to be one of the best guitar solo ever recorded. The entire Pulse concert is superb. Check out "Time", "Sorrow" and "Run like hell" from the same concert. Also "Echoes" live at Pompei
You said they look like dads and not what you expected. Dah, they’re old enough now to be your dad. They started in the late 60’s, younger than you when they started. Us dads and grandpa’s can still rock.😎
Okay…I had to add, what is that bottle of mayonnaise doing stuffed in your couch?
I was 19 when Dark Side of the Moon came out. I was at the first performance opening their American Tour in '73. It was my first rock concert. $4 ticket, I think. After that, they were all just rock concerts. Do yourself a HUGE favor and listen to Dark Side start to finish and not song by song. If you thought this experience was great, wait til you digest that album. Thanks for sharing your experience, it brings me back 49 years.
At the concert where the Comfortably Numb video was shot they played the entire Dark side of the Moon album.
I was 18. DSOTM changed my life. Still, to this day, almost 50 years later, it's still an experience I'm digging on the Parsons Quad mix as I'm typing this: ruclips.net/video/lXBqtoymJFo/видео.html
I was 18, too. Yes, life changing ❤️
DSOTM is an amazing album - OMG, $4 a ticket!
DSOTM isn’t an album. It’s an experience.
I actually can't fathom that there still are persons who don't know "Comfortable Numb" or Pink Floyd.
I'm in disbelief.😮😮
If Pink Floyd's music doesn't touch your soul, you should probably consider buying one or just continue doing without.
Thats the point, they...are...NOT typical rock stars.!!!
"the child is grown , the dream is gone " such a sad line.
Pink floyd is an album band listen to the wall or dark side of the moon or animals in total it will change your life
Pink Floyd is a must. David Gilmore is a legend. I'm here for it!! 👍🏽😊
Pink Floyd doesn't tour, but David Gilmour (the guitarist) was touring at 72 years old and you can find his concert DAVID GILMOUR LIVE AT POMPEII here on RUclips. You need to see him rocking this same song (he closed the show with it) and you also need to go watch the whole concert. Most of it is Pink Floyd stuff, with some of his solo stuff thrown in.
Pink Floyd are the 3rd best selling band in the history of music , and the 8th biggest including solo artists. They have sold 260 million albums and inspired so many artists from different genres of music , from electronic to heavy metal. Artists like Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Nightwish, Dream Theatre, Smashing Pumpkins, Tame Impala, Korn , etc etc
Pink Floyd sold more albums than the Beatles. Let that sink in.
@@Attraktor63 yes both Floyd and Led Zeppelin sold more studio albums than the Beatles , but not when compilation, greatest hits etc are added. The Beatles are then way ahead on nearly 450 million
@@pauldocmusic2411 Yup, that's why I wrote "albums" and not "records".
Yet he had never heard of them🙄
I’m sixty two now and have loved Pink Floyd since I was thirteen years old . X
This is one of my favorite songs of Pink Floyd. I've been a fan for decades now, and they're on a whole other level of emotional pain music. When I first took the time to listen to their music and lyrics, I was hooked. Also, when my dad was dying in the hospital, he was trying to tell me something but I couldn't hear what he was saying, so those lyrics hit home for sure. Yes. They started in the late 1960s.
Best guitar solo in the history of music!
Only David Gilmour can do a 5 minute guitar solo & make it ultra captivating 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
+ Mark Knopfler
That's not a solo, that's an epic wordless storytelling!
@@BRbassedu that’s another way to see it!!! Mr. Gilmour has been a master of that for years 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Sorrow live pulse. Mind blowing.
David Gilmour.. lead vocals and guitar, is 76 years old now. He last toured in 2016 as a solo artist but performing many of Pink Floyd's greatest hits with his own band. He and Floyd are legends. Check out the studio version of "Time" by them next.
(The younger guys you see on stage, touring support musicians, not members of Floyd).
Just to clarify, the drummer, Nick Mason, and the principal keyboardist, Richard Wright, are both original members of the band. Ironically, lead singer and guitarist, David Gilmour, was not an original member, but joined in 1968 replacing founding guitarist, singer and songwriter Syd Barrett who suffered a life altering psychological breakdown and could no longer perform.
@@z-man2343 "who suffered a life altering psychological breakdown" You meant to say he fried his brain with acid?
@@doicounttoo6861 in a nutshell, ya
No, do not check out "Time" from "The Dark Side Of The Moon". Listen to the whole album, at one go, It's only 43 minutes and 9 seconds long, and it WILL change your life, like it did for me back in 1973 when it came out. The songs are designed to go from one to the next, and if you JUST listen to "TIme", the context will be lost. Here's the version of the album I'm digging right now: ruclips.net/video/lXBqtoymJFo/видео.html
@@RogerSouthwick ideally Floyd albums should be listened to in their entirety but not everyone has the time. Especially when you're reacting to and posting multiple reactions on your channel from hundreds of suggestions. "Time" is one of the most played Floyd songs on classic rock stations around the world. It gives a very good sampling of what he's in for should he decide to explore them deeper. I think this whole demand from Floyd fans to listen to the entire album or nothing, scares more reactors off than anything else. That would be the ideal, but not necessary for a good reaction.
It was the 70s and the Floyd were gods. Of course we listened with the aid of illicit substances. At 66, I still do on occasion.
This is one of the first bands of what we now call prog rock. Progressive rock is a UK thing and it is just more intricate musical production and usually longer songs. This all started because when the band started out they didn't have a big back log of original songs, so to take up time on live sets they would just use more instrumentation and visuals for the audience. Other notable bands of that period were Genisis and Yes.
I was in Prague, in the middle 1990's, after a 10-20-inch snow fall, walking back from a bar at 1AM, in the old part of the town, cobble stone streets, when someone cranked out Coming Back to Life in the alley ways. It was magical, listening to the guitar solo at the beginning, during the heavy snowfall.
Every time I hear it on the Pulse album, I am out there, in the snow, once again.
When I die, I want them to play that song at my funeral.
A Pink Floyd song is not about «melody» or rimes. It's about emotions.
The big disco ball is highly symbolic.
First of all, it wasn't seen until the lights spotted it. It was simply not there! Hidden in a box in the ceilling. So when it got lit, you can understand why the audience went wild.
And then, when it opened up and showed the shining diamond that's inside, a direct reference to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (which refer to Syd Barrett), the fans understood!
Genius!
Yeah , man…. what most people do not realize is , the “ mirror ball “ , was representing , “ the Moon “… 🤨
congratulations, you’ve listened to pink floyd, you’ll never go back
You should just watch the whole Pulse 1994 concert, it includes many of their best songs.....and it's just an incredible live show.
I couldn't agree more, and I will simply add the highlight of that show for me is the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" from top to bottom with amazing hits both before and after. Peace (Frog) - I dig your name immensely, btw...
Best advice!
I suggest The Delicate Sound of Thunder concert from 4 or 5 years earlier...
The awakening has started!!! Get ready for an experience my friend.
David Gilmour (Lead Guitarist and Vocalist ) is now 76 and if you listen to his last live concert in Pompei (Italy) in 2016, he sounded the same ;)
Only 76 year old man that I'd call sexy. Lol
I was in the audience the night it was filmed, Earls Court in London. Pink Floyd played 12 nights at the conclusion at that venue, and I was there for 3 of those performances.
I tear up every time I see this song played.
Yup we were there as well. awesome
Me too, still gives me goosebumps on my goosebumps
hear*
Every time you HEAR the song being played.
Don't be like the kids that think music is to be watched. Music is to be LISTENED to.
PF is best enjoyed with eyes closed.
Pink Floyd has the highest selling record of all time. How have you never heard them?
Actually, it is the 4th. Michael Jackson's hriller is the highest selling album. Dark side of the Moon was on Billboards' top 200 list the longest - around 17 years. It was the 4th highest selling album of all time.
@@lclems9790 correct
I have a great live performance from when they were a little younger...From- The Delicate sound of thunder Concert...On The Turning Away. great live performance
Exceptional tune "On the Turning Away" see above^ in my top 3 along with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond I-V and VI-IX"
Get ready for it. The guitar work is amazing on this.
“Head music” as we stoners called it. And they were probably about your age when they started in the ‘60s. Pink Floyd is essential listening to anyone caring to know what musical instruments are capable of, without studio enhancements.
Enjoy the ride.
Much of Pink Floyd's music is instrumental-based. After this I would seriously recommend you listen to both "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" IN FULL and in one sitting each - and also Echoes (which is a 24 minute masterpiece. Your ears will thank you.
“That sounds pretty cool”, 😂😂😂😂😂. Pink Floyd is an experience.
Back when music really was music...!! No bells, no whistles, no fakery, no voice manipulation...Wasn't needed..Pink Floyd will never get old..(Actually speaking of bells, one of their was songs did include bells...) 😉😆
Yes 'The Division Bell'
Time included bells 😂
That song would be High Hopes. That's worth checking out as well and also ends with a long instrumental solo. Probably one of their best tracks after Roger Waters left.
When i was a kid my parents and greatparents grneration said the mudic of my time - including Pink Floyd - was garbage and that only real music was made back in their time, that the kuds' music was nothing but trash and noise, music that today is reverexas great vlassics nowadays.
The old farts of my childhood days were wrong and nowadays guys like you are also wrong. Dont blame the music of today just because now you are out of the loop, just like our parents and grandies were back in our days. There's still great music today, you just cant find it today because the music distribution parafigma of today changed from when you were younger, the same way our parents xnd granfies were cluess back then. You are just out of the loop. You grew older. That's all.
I get your point but floyd, like the Beatles before them, did you use the absolute latest music studio technology
That second guitar solo by David Gilmour is widely recognised as one of the greatest ever!
Any Live Pulse Song is amazing.
I was in high school when Dark Side of the Moon came out... at the time there were many people who thought of it as "stoner music", which was kind of silly, it is exquisitely amazing music, universally enjoyable, and enough people caught on to that, that the album literally stayed on the billboard album charts for about 15 years straight after its release in '73... a feat that no other album of any genre ever came close to matching
Some guitar players can deliver emotions through their notes, Gilmore can do it with one note alone.
I saw them in '94. I was 12 rows back from the stage. From the minute the concert started to the very end. It was damned mind blowing, amazing, cool, visually and music wise.stunning. it is still my number 1 fav concert i ever went too.
Welcome in Pink Floyd world... They actually started in the end of the 60's and are still a very special rock band. They made a lot of albums, all crazy and absolutely amazing. Beautiful reaction, thanks. Love from France 🇫🇷😘
Thanks so much!!! Means the world!😁
One of my greatest pleasures in life is watching someone discover Pink Floyd..you’ll never be the same again! Great Gig In The Sky next..You want psychedelic music? Dark Side Of The Moon..DO IT NOW!
Nowt trippy or psychedelic about it just a brilliantly written and constructed piece of music. With the best solo ever.
My favorite band of all times and my favorite song!
Welcome to the world of pink floyd. First, if you have a little time, you could read up the album you are about to listen to before you get into it. With pink floyd its kinda important. Each album is in fact a story so listening from start to finish is how they are designed. But be free to listen to any song by itself. Pink floyd is the pioneers of laser light shows and surround sound. 😁
The Who “Was” the pioneers of Quadraphonic! Long before surround. But you’re on spot with them.
I can not begin to explain the envy I have for you, discovering The Floyd for the first time. Then again, I pity you for not having discovered them earlier. The whole Dark Side Of The Moon from start to finish is a trip, that would be my recommendation for the next time! Thanks for the video!
My recommendation would be the song "Sorrow" from this same Pulse Concert...every song played there, from their long list of hits is just incredible and is in my humble opinion superior to the studio versions
Pink Floyd are not rock stars nor did they ever try to be, they are rock musicians of the highest order
Started early 1960's. Front man was Syd Barrett, who flipped out in the early 1970's... and led to a lot of rather mournful works from Dark Side of the Moon, and especially Wish You Were Here. Dark Side of the Moon was in the top 100 selling albums for a very long time. This show came off the "Pulse" tour DVD. If you like Gilmour's spectacular guitar work, try "One of These Days". It's an incredibly powerful piece. For a commentary on people, check out the "Animals" album. I like the album "Division Bell" too. The stuff from the 60s is a little too 60's acid for my taste.
My favorite Pink Floyd song.
You really owe it to yourself to check out the studio cut. It has so much incredible ear candy in it and it's just powerful as can be.
True, but listening to it with earbuds is not the way to do it. Headphones or you can forget it.
The young guy on bass was a stand in for Roger Waters at this concert. The other main guys were originals from the 60s and 70s - so even in the 90s they were a pretty seasoned bunch - in their 40s mostly.
Guitarist extraordinaire, Mr. David Gilmore. Some more fantastic songs by Pink Floyd are "Another Brick in The Wall", "Money", "Dogs of War", "I Wish You Were Here". Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories. Enjoyed your reaction to PF hope to see more.
Pink Floyd was one of the best concerts I ever attended. Their lighting and effects were incredible
Welcome to the Greatest Band of All TIME!!!
Pink Floyd’s is that kind band you just sit back and wait for an awesome experience. We were so blessed to have such unique talent back in the day. You never wanted the songs to end! Sure do miss this kind of talent. Very good reaction.
The band started in the mid to late 60’s. They hit it big in 1973 with Dark Side of the Moon. This concert was filmed at Earl’s Court in London in 1994. I saw this show in June 1994 at Yankee Stadium. It is still one of the best concert’s I have ever been to.
Saw this show at the Rose Bowl right underneath the mirror ball. Even more amazing in person.
I was there, they did 14 nights at Earls Court. When the glitter ball came down it was amazing. The whole arena was lit up. I watched it from tier 2 close to the stage. To this day, the best concert I’ve ever had the privilege to witness.
"That guitar is speaking a thousand words." Oh how true! Great reaction, Michael Duffy.
Animals, Dark side of the moon and the Wall all great albums and each is meant to be listened to all at once.
Wish You Were Here and The Final Cut as well.
Always bittersweet to see a young person's reaction to real music. THIS has got to be on the "top 20 rock-n-roll songs" playlists of millions!
PINK FLOYD THE EPITOME
OF MUSIC
🎼☮️👊
I saw the "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" Show two times, in Dortmund (Westfalenhalle) and in Cologne (Müngersdorfer Stadion). And in 1994, I saw the Pulse Show (The division bell). Unforgettable...
This is chill music. You should listen to the whole album. Suggest Sorrow” High Hopes” Every brick in the wall” Run like Hell” @ Pulse ❤Started in the mid 60’s David Gilmore on vocals, guitar 🎸
This is the 2nd iteration of pf, (well, kinda the third since Roger Waters isn't here in this video). Gilmour wasn't in the band to begin with. In the 60's when they began, Syd Barrett was the guitar player and a vocalist. Pink Floyd didn't even sound like the same band.
You NEVER talk through a Gilmour solo. EVER
That guitar solo is a forever moment. It's a long solo but always seems to go to fast. I could listen to it on and on in heaven. It's so good.
Amen on that.
I've seen this in June 1989 in Hamburg. Unbelievable Show. Hypnotic Effects, the cosmic sound. I'll never forget it.
I’ve seen Pink Floyd 3 times, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was one of the best shows ever. When you see a metal bed come zipping over your head towards the stage, crashing and blowing up or the ANIMALS tour when they had the huge inflatable Pig floating over the audience, you never forget. Pink Floyd are the architects of the spectacular light show and huge video screens, everyone to come after them copied them!
Ahhh the inflatable pig , how I remember that 😎 wondering how your going to explain to your mates “ Really , i saw a pig fly “ 🤣🤣🤣
I saw them in 87. Saw the bed fly into the stage after the video of the bed traveling through the hospital then eventually down the airport runway for take off, and the flying pig. Best concert ever. No warm up band just Pink Floyd for 2 to 3 hours.
@@fredflintstone505 Their shows were so good.
"must have been huge in the 70's..." Bro. Understatement of the new year. MASSIVE in the 70's. MASSIVE...
I love Dave Gilmor! The solo in this song gives me goosebumps! I crank up the sound every time I hear this song.
And I guess I need to add that I am so glad to have been a teenager in the 70’s. Pink Floyd was a big part of that era. Music in the 70s was the best era for music in my opinion!
they are a couple of dads now but they have been together forever, the guy on guitar is David Gilmore and the guy on key boards and base it Roger Waters the two guys that wrote most of the music
Funny that you said "trippy" since Pink Floyd's genre can best be described as psychedelic rock. On their albums one song flows seamlessly into the next as if the entire album is one long song. (Decades before EDM djs did it)
Also as you can tell they were known for their insane laser light shows. Experiencing one of their live shows on acid or estasy was almost an otherworldly spiritual experience. I went to the Pulse concert in 94 tripping balls. An experience I will never forget.
I attended the Pulse conserts in Oslo. It is still the musical highlight of my life. Thinking about it and what Pink Floyds music has meant to me all these years makes me nostalgic and very greatful for having experienced their musical aura in person.
They were huge in sixties seventies and up to now . Voted the best band in the world in the seventies. Also are still voted the best band in the world ever to this day .
