I've heard and read a lot of music fans offer equally good solo masterpieces but I agree with you, David, that this is the pinnacle of guitar playing. Stunning...
Welcome to the Pink Floyd experience. This song, guitar solo, and entire album are considered one of the greatest in history. It's a sonic and visual journey to a place only in your imagination. Pure musical genius on display. Once you learn the history and the meaning behind Pink Floyd, you'll get to the next level of understanding their lyrics. Hope you enjoyed the ride, please come back again soon. \m/
Gilmour's soul bleeds from his guitar, always so precise, lots of space and carefully paced to take you away on a journey. Pink Floyd is an experience that will not be rushed but will always be remembered...
@@kenwelch198 It's also been said that every Fender Stratocaster ever made dreams of being picked up by Dave Gilmour as he goes on stage to play this song.
To hear someone who isn’t a die-hard fan praise Gilmour’s solos in this song is so refreshing. It’s well known in the Pink Floyd community to be one of the greatest guitar solos in music history, but I fear a lot of fans say that just because they hear it so often. I smiled so much when you commented on it:) it just proves how beautiful it is
You have to be standing in front of that stage, with that music pulsing through your body along with the visual explosion of the light show turning the whole concert into a complete transcendental experience for it to live within you forever. I have seen many great bands and performers over the years but nobody comes close to Pink Floyd. I still feel emotional simply watching this all these years later…
Ive seen this solo make many people cry, including me, rheres just something about it. The best solo ever recorded in my opinion. Breathtaking. Got to love pink floyd ❤️
Did you notice how in the long shots the crowd is motionless, totally enthralled.... this song does something to your soul... lifts you up and takes you away.... there is a reason this is the number 1 guitar solo of all time. Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd..... I have been along for the ride since I was about 7 and first heard my brothers copy of Dark side of the moon...... you will be in for a wonderous time!
I cannot explain in words where their music takes me, but let me say that, if that is where I will go when I die, then I am not afraid of dying because I know that absolute perfection awaits me.
Most...Epic...Guitar..Solo...Ever! I was fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd on this particular tour in 1994 (May) in Foxboro, Massachusetts in the U.S. They are my all time favorite! Nobody does live concerts like they did.
@@jasonkeaveney1187 No, it was the third and final night in Foxboro (a Friday, if I remember correctly). It was clear and breezy. But I bet that was a cool effect the fog had on the lasers/lights. They put on an amazing show.
I'm always proud to say that i saw them live at Earls court (where this was filmed) the same week, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. You should check out "Sorrow", "Time", "High hopes", "Great gig in the sky and "Run like hell" all from the same concert.
Have always loved Pink Floyd. The first time I saw this concert footage I actually got weak in the knees and tried to imagine what it would be like to have been there. As someone with chronic neuromuscular pain, this song means the most to me. In some ways just listening to PF is a form of pain relief. It's actually about Roger Waters' experience of needing to have a pain shot for abdominal pain right before going on stage and how it affected him. You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it.
Aww! I didn’t know this! Thank you for explaining this to me, means a lot. Also thank you for sharing with me also, I’m sorry you’re going through that. I hope you have more good days than bad days💜💜
@@millennialmeetsmusic Whilst this was the initial impetus for writing the song, ROger used this experience to expand it's meaning to incorporate it into a wider physiological anti-social analysis of modern life as a huge part of his Album/Flim story known as The Wall. It itself was one of the best selling albums of all time and the Film and music critically acclaimed world wide!!! If you want to experience more of this album and or film, you really should do it from front to back in its entirety in a single sitting. I'd suggest the music first closely followed by the film which can helps explain some aspects of the music. It is well worth the listen/investigation - as its best selling status demands! Enjoy!
Great job Honey but, PLEASE, never stop in the middle of a David Gilmour guitar solo. It's just something you don't do. Anyway, great reaction! ✌✌ and 💕💕 to you! PS: This solo is considered one of the greatest solos in all history. I tend to agree. I've been a Pink Floyd fan ever since I was 13 back in 1973. They are my ALL TIME favorite band. Period.
@@millennialmeetsmusic reaction rules do NOT require you to interrupt the solo. There are a lot of other places to stop and comment. Not this solo. It is a mortal sin.
No, you do not interrupt this solo. I can understand why, if its your first time, but it is a crime against music to interrupt. It just is. Wih age will come experience and you will know in future. But thank you.
@@millennialmeetsmusic I disagree With many on this point. If I want to hear the solos uninterrupted I will just watch the original video. I come to these videos to hear and see the reaction. To me, a reaction has more feeling to it if it is 'in the moment'.
In Becky's defence, she had no way of knowing the solo was coming up. Because of the solo being so long, she HAD to pause to be safe. If she'd known it was coming, she could have paused right before... plus, she knew but stated she had to. 😢
I was at this concert at Earls court in London 1994. Best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of concerts, can't believe it was 30 years ago. So happy it was filmed so I can relive that awesome night over and over again and not have to rely on my failing memory 😂. Everyone has to watch this concert and acknowledge what a awesome band Floyd were and what an amazing guitarist Gilmore is.🇬🇧🤘
I was there that night - upper tier, a couple of rows back, almost facing the mixing desk and mirror ball, on the left (stage right). This was in the middle of a fourteen-night run at Earl's Court, which finished with their last full concert (although they reunited for an 18-minute set at Live 8). And that outro is the greatest guitar solo of all time. You were doing so well until you committed the cardinal sin at 10:13. Most lead guitarists plug their guitar into the pedal board and amp, then feed it to a mixing desk and PA. David Gilmour Plugs his guitar into his heart, then feeds it directly into your soul. He can get more out of one note than most guitarists can from the whole fretboard. This was the middle of a three-song encore, after a nineteen-song concert split by an interval about halfway through. So he is nicely warmed up! The amazing light show just does not come across on video. The lasers were like nothing we had ever seen - they were experimental and the most powerful ever created, and every single one in existence was used in the performance, leased from the developer. That circular lighting rig had been static and vertical until then. The middle of it had a projection screen which was used extensively throughout the concert, so when the whole rig started moving to the horizontal plane and forming a ring of lights above the stage, crowning and coning David Gilmour with lights, it was already epic - how they got that past Health and safety (UK) or OSHA (US), never mind their equivalents all over Europe and in Canada, I have no idea, but that rig is several tons, carries a massive electrical load, and is swinging on wires above all the performers. So nobody was even remembering the mirror ball, as all their attention was on the stage - until it suddenly exploded like a star going supernova over the centre of the auditorium! The mirror ball was the largest ever made, and the spotlights hitting it are 2,000 watts each of Xenon lighting - so 50,000 watts or so. Although they didn't do it that night, I heard that occasionally they would change the spin direction partway through, resulting in half the audience falling over! But I for one was walking on air for about a week after that concert - and I don't think anyone else present would have felt much different except slightly in duration.
I saw Pink Floyd 23 times, 11 times on this tour and the guitar solo was slightly different each night. Gilmour plays with so much soul and emotion. Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd!
I'm an old Floyd fan from the 60s and saw them 4 times, saw Gilmour solo twice and Waters 4 times and I thought I had seen them a lot, LOL. I am truly impressed, I would have loved to see them pre Dark Side but I have no complaints, modern fans would die to see what we saw back in the day!
I saw them on this tour. I was 15 years old and saw Floyd in Columbus, Ohio with my brothers. It was my first concert and is still the best I've attended, and I've seen a lot of concerts. I still have the tattered concert shirt and the ticket stub. This video doesn't do justice to how magical it all felt during this song. The part during the solo where the focus shifts to the giant crystal ball was so epic and surprising, and then it evolved from there! It was breathtaking.
I was at the same concert too!! I was 18 years old and went with my brother. Our dad had the tickets and was supposed to go with our step-mom but they got divorced, so he gave the tickets to us. He has been to their Delicate Sound of Thunder concert, so he wanted us to experience Pink Floyd, he said he wasn't sure if they if they would ever tour again. It is the best concert experience I've had to this day and I don't see anyone else topping it.
I have followed Pink Floyd since i was 12 yrs old, i'm 57 now. No band like them! I saw this concert at the venue it was recorded from, Earls Court London. Stunning concert, never matched.. Why? Because any other group just isn't pink Floyd! 🇬🇧
I was sitting 90 degrees to the right of you and up one level. An epic event, as you so rightly say. It's hard to believe so much time has passed by since then and I'm now a pensioner.
From a baby boomer who saw them live on many occasions on this blue marble of ours, I can say IMHO, that "pretty good" doesn't cut it. That is considered one of the finest guitar solos of music history. I was blessed like so many others to be in the audience at the Earls Court concerts 6 nights in a row 94 and it was as good every night as the last. Left speechless for weeks. It has been said that Poly Sampson his wife said that David has trouble expressing himself with words at times, and lets his guitar express his feelings for him. No one can make the guitar take you on a journey into the next dimension like Gilmour. That is music that today's bands struggle to create, it has feeling, it has emotion and it has a life of its own.
My first Pink Floyd "experience" came to me in 1975 as a Sophomore in High School. A friend's older brother bought "Dark Side of the Moon" and we sat in his basement with the stereo "cranked" and listened to the full album through a set of four "Klipsch" speakers connected to a Pioneer quad amp. I became a huge fan that day, but it took me another 4-5 years (and 4 more albums) to really appreciate their musical genius. After listening to "The Wall" in 1979 there was never any doubt that they would go down in history as one of the greatest bands to ever take the stage.
Best all time guitar player to come out of England. When he plays everyone listens. My opinion Pink Floyd is top 5 all time greatest rock bands ever. Great reaction and great song!
The big smile on the face at the beginning guitar solo(and she says that was epic, and every Pink Floyd fans is your minds going to be blown when the main solo goes off). They came to our town one week before my wedding, so the tickets were not in the budget at the time, the concert was sold out with 20,000 people(I think), but we sat outside with what some people estimated at 5000 people. That was a big crowd for a city our size.
This was my fifth live performance. Hearing them is wonderful. Seeing them added a whole new dimension. Being there to hear them while seeing the show, while feeling the base beat in your chest; it takes a day to get over a full live performance!
For me, the best guitar solo in music history. Hardly a day goes by that I don't play Queen, Pink Floyd, and Nightwish albums. For my taste, the best bands ever.
Sir Dave play's the guitar like nobody else, I've had the almighty pleasure of seeing Floyd twice and seeing Sir Dave's solo concert once, absolutely amazing, Pinkfloyd the greatest band that ever was and will ever be.
I always say Pink Floyd is my favorite all-time band, while Rush is a close, close second. This, by far, is my favorite Pink Floyd song of all-time. It never gets old, it always holds meaning and will always pull me into the story taking place within the context of the lyrics and the music. It's a multi-layered journey that never fails to deliver both emotionally and spiritually. Enjoy!
I was at this very concert and I had tears running down my face the whole time. I was 38 at the time and there was a girl standing next to me. She suddenly grabbed hold of my arm and I realised her legs had given way. The poor girl was so overwhelmed that I had to sit her in her seat. That is the power of Floyd.
Watch "Sorrow", "High Hopes", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Run Like Hell", "Coming Back to Life" all from the same PULSE Concert. You will be blown away...
I was at this same tour. I saw them in Yankee Stadium in NYC. As you can see they were unbelievable. The amazing thing about Floyd is they have speakers throughout the arena so they can for instance have people seemingly talking,mumbling behind where you are sitting as part of the song. People who have heard the Dark Side of the Moon album will appreciate how that would help in reproducing the album effects. When I saw them I was pretty high lol and there was seemingly some obnoxious people talking as the song started. I turned around to politely tell them to shut up. when I realized it was just sound effects to open the song.
Yeah it's kinda creepy... The same barely audible spoken voices that you hear in the album seem to come from right over your shoulder when you're in the stands for instance. While much of the primary sound is coming from the stage. Amazing. Same thing happens with a lot of the special sound effects. They spare no expense to reproduce the albums.
@@flubblert I am glad you backed me up on this. My brother saw them real early on. I think it was during the Ummagumma period, and he said that they made it sound like birds were flying overhead from the front of the building to the back. and that had to be in the late 60s. Amazing.
@@harlanginsberg7269 Well, I don't know how early you got to the venue that night, but as we arrived about a half hour before the show started it sounded like the stadium was full of birds.. there was none to be seen. Then you heard a helicopter hovering overhead but there was none in sight. Then you hear the sound of a lawn mower moving from one end of the field to the other. Then a motorboat doing the same thing in the opposite direction. All of it sounded so real you could touch it. Just a heads up to the audience of what we were about to experience.
@@flubblert It's possible that happened at my show but truthfully I did a bunch of hash that night and my 2 friends were tripping and it was almost 30 years ago so I am not sure lol.. If they did it your night I am sure they did it at my show too. Floyd controlled everything at their shows.
The thing about Pink Floyd is that the music doesn't *need* the light show, but somehow gets taken to a whole new dimension with it. It's designed as an audio visual experience - nothing you saw was an accident. Although the song is understood best in the arc of The Wall album, it does stand alone pretty well - it's a song about struggling with yourself and your internal demons and receiving help from the outside, which is why it's set out the way it is with a question/answer type format. Plain old darkness and light, life and death.
Yes, I was at this concert. Earls Court, 1994. This particular tune is my favourite tune of all time and this is, for me, the best version. I'd seen Floyd a few years earlier at Wembley stadium, again it was a stunning night. But the version you just watched blew me away. I've lost count how many times I've heard this. I know every note off by heart. This concert totally rocked my world and this tune still has the ability to give me goosebumps. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for reacting to Pink Floyd. Gen X viewer here who was fortunate to attend a Pink Floyd concert in 1985. Was out doors after an entire day of rain and the lazors bounced off the clouds. The music would spin around the crowd in the baseball stadium.. Was the greatest concert I had ever been too. It was still part of The Wall show. First time seeing channel, looking forward to more.
I saw it all with a group of friends and it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen...I swear we didn't blink from the start. The sound was absolutely huge, but as clear as a bell. It took you over and for 2.5 hours you went 'Somewhere else"...I'll never forget that experience as long as i live and it's awesome to watch young peoples reactions when they experience the very best of the best..Make some time to watch the whole "Pulse" concert...One of the girls with us discribed the whole concert as 'Orgasmic'...A very special night it was...
I have been fortunate to see them twice over the years. The first time it was "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and when they finished they went off and came back on again for an encore and the piano plinked and the arena erupted because we all recognised it as the start of a track called "Echoes" from an earlier album (The track is 23 and a half mins long). What an encore!! The second time I saw them was performing "The Wall" and it was another great experience. During the concert, a wall got built on stage and as the wall obscured the band flaps dropped down from the sides and little vignettes were played out in rooms in the flaps. At the end the whole wall vibrated and collapsed. Two amazing concerts and two amazing light shows and overall experiences. (These were in London).
Hi, and thanks for the reaction. I delayed a trip to Poland with my Polish grandmother to see this concert in Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee with my then girlfriend (now wife of 28 years) in 1994. It was FANTASTIC!!!
I first saw Pink Floyd in '94 Boston, USA when i was working there, my room mate talked me into going and It changed my life !! My whole attitude to music changed. PF is an experience that feeds your Soul, not just music.still listen to Pulse 30 years later. I want Breathe played at my Funeral.
I have had the privilege to see Pink Floyd twice. April 18, 1988 for the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour and then again on June 18, 1994 for the Pulse tour. Both are hands down the best concerts I have ever been too. Their music grabs your soul and takes it on a journey that no other band could ever do. Welcome to the Pink Floyd experience!!
@@leemorris3805 I would of loved to seen them there. Especially in Earls court. Sadly those days are over, now I can only hope David gets close here to see him one last time.
Pink Floyd have been an awe inspiring band since the 70s. Their concerts include the best light shows to go along with some of the best music. Then along comes David Gilmour with his epic guitar solos. This solo has been called one of the greatest ever ! It's one of the most heartfelt, melodic solos you'll ever hear. I grew up on this stuff and still listen to it today !
This song is a part of The Wall album [and stage set and movie] and while the description in it is based on an actual experience as a child with a fever driven delirium, it is also, within the full performance of The Wall, the point in the story where the main character {a band member called Pink}, has had a complete breakdown and band doctor is sent in to get him into shape to preform - it's worth getting the full show rather than just the individual song. I'd recommend watching the movie as the best way to fully understand the story being told, though I personally like the album version best [I have the full album on my phone and often listen to it when I am running around town shopping and such - it runs just a bit over 80 minutes]
I wasn't at Earl's Court but my sons and I saw the Pulse concert twice in the States. I'm so glad this video is of such high quality. It doesn't match seeing them "In the Flesh" but it still gets quite a bit of attention, and rightfully so.
I had the pleasure of seeing this performed live in Oakland, California. Spiritual, whatever that translates to to you personally, is all I can describe.
Well, i'm 64 and i saw, one of the concerts of the Pulse tour in 1994 live in Lisbon.. it was just EPIC!!!... just one thing... uou never ever interrupt a guitar solo of Pink Floyd... it's a sacrilege...just kiding...Welcom to the worl of Pink Floyd...
Consider watching the 'Pulse' concert in full--one of the best live performances captured. They were at the height of their power as musicians. They never bought into rock star persona--music was the central focus. The stage show cost 25 million--in the 90s. The band was always cutting edge in terms of performance and innovation on vinyl. I was lucky to see them live 2x. This show included the entire live performance of 'Dark Side of the Moon' as well.
Thank you Becky for your reaction K’s to music U grew up with. It’s heartening that younger folk are getting in to music from back then. Yes I was at this concert I’ve seen the 6 times. Each time they’ve taken my spirit on a musical journey, and left me awed and speechless. Keep up the excellent reactions. Take care
There is a treasure trove of masterpieces from this concert - Run like Hell , Sorrow , Another Brick in the Wall . Coming Back to Life , Learning to Fly and many others . Guitar playing styles like you have never seen !!
I saw them in concert in the 70s in a soccer stadium in Canada. you cant imagine the experience of seeing them live. they take you on a trip and it only ends when the concert does. the most amazing concert I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. nothing is like the experience of seeing them live.
I saw this tour and it was one of the most mind bending, life transformational experiences. Glad to see younger folks really getting to know the genius of Pink Floyd
I had the good fortune to be able to see them in concert 4 times over a 1 1/2 year time frame during this tour. Once front row, once last row and once indoor. Truly an amazing show ... every one of them. Hint- from the same album you watched comfortably numb, you should watch ‘great gig in the sky’.
When I discovered Pink Floyd as a young teenager, I remember people thought it was weird I was such a fan. I’m over 40 now and look, new generations still taking Pink Floyd up because of how good and different it is. Timeless!
No worries 🤪! Like I've been bestowed with guardianship of all things Pink Floyd 🙄. Just my OCD kicking in and the opportunity to show off my near encyclopedic knowledge of the band's catalog, their music means that much to me. That's not bragging. Actually kind of pathetic but we all have our hangups 😱!
Saw this at Veteran’s Stadium in Philly. Still burned into my memory as the most amazing live performance of anything ever. The lasers and that flowering disco ball… 🤩
Another new Pink Floyd fan is what we have here, this video does the trick every, single time! Yes, I saw them on this tour in Foxboro, MA in 1994, it was the amazing Pulse Tour and they killed it as always, the video you saw was just part of the whole show, I highly recommend it. I also saw them in 1975 (All of Dark Side of the Moon with Echoes as the Encore), 1977 (All of both Animals and Wish You Were Here) and 1987 ((Gilmour took over after Waters left, they came back eager and inspired). I also saw David Gilmour twice on consecutive Saturday nights in the mid 80s doing Floyd and solo stuff with Mick Ralph's (Bad Company) on killer 2nd guitar, plus saw Roger Waters 4 times solo, first with Eric Clapton on lead guitar doing old Floyd classics, then a greatest hits tour, then all of Dark Side, then he brought out an updated version of the Wall performance, including the giant styro wall they knocked down at the end. You need to hear these albums at some point, they will alter your perception on what great music truly can be, you literally are transported into another audio dimension, where you forget having a bad day and come out amazed and knowing more of what made this band great. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
I saw the tour July 14th at the Pontiac Silverdome. We sat 15th row, stage right, on the main floor. During the song One of These Days you could feel the heat from the pyro as intensely as if you were standing on the stage. I was so happy when they released this on video, as I was almost too close to take in all of the stage with the lasers shooting over my head. 29 years later, this is still the most amazing concert experience I've ever witnessed (although Iron Maiden's Legacy of the Beast tour was a pretty good runner up). I also still occasionally wear the concert shirt from the show, but I'm much more protective of it now.
I was at this concert at Earls Court in London . The show was brilliant and that song Comfortably Numb was the encore followed by Run Like Hell if you want to see a great finish to a concert watch that .
Yes, I was at Earl’s Court at this very concert and firstly, every song from start to finish was incredible. But when comfortably numb played, I think the whole arena had a feeling we were witnessing guitar solo history. I turned around to look at the people around me a few times and everyone was awestruck, crying or had their jaws on the floor or all 3. And then we were treated with from start to finish The Dark Side of the Moon album played live from start to finish. I’ve been to the way too many shows in my life but this particular show will always remain as the best live performance I’ve ever seen….period.
I saw them in London on this tour. We were about five rows back from the front, but that meant the bulk of the incredible light show was behind us. When the finale light feature appeared as a glitterball, I spent the back end of that song standing with my back to the band. The glitterball was huge. When it opened it had a monstrously powerful light inside that threw out a lot of heat. The drama is lost in the video, but on the finishing chord just the glitterball internal light was on, alien and pulsing. Floyd always had a secret hidden light feature as a finale and over the years it got bigger and bigger,
@@leemorris3805 awesome! Going through old papers I found a ticket for Tuesday 4th July 1989 “Harvey Goldsmith Presents Pink Floyd” at London Arena. It says a gala night for charity but in truth I can’t remember a thing about it.
Certainly a classic Pink Floyd song & David Gilmore is definitely one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I saw this same version of this tour in the USA & the experience was unbelievable. A video doesn't do it justice. Thanks for putting it out there.
Thank you gor yjis reaction yo one of the best live guitarsolo's of all time. Your reaction was pure and genuine. I did subscribe. Looking gorward to more of uour reacyions, greetings ftom holland
Yes, was at this Pulse concert back in 1994 at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit, Michigan...best concert experience I ever attended. They played DSOTM in its entirety as well. Great reaction..gaining yet another young PF fan! Welcome.
i seen them twice on that tour and twice previously, I'm 56 and seen Floyd four times....legends live...nice to see you enjoyed it being so much younger.. and nice review , kudos
Yes I was there and it was the best concert ever. No stereo is able to do it justice though as they played their music through a stadium sized quadraphonic sound system. Awesome experience.
I was there the night that was filmed. It's a concert that will live with me till my dying day. I was 23 back then, dear god that's a lifetime ago lol.
I've seen them eight times starting in 1986 to the 90s Cleveland. Stadium richmond..Pittsburgh... I was never disappointed from the music to the light show!
the legend goes that the lighting engineer came to the band and asked what they wanted for the show. they handed him a blanko cheque and said: "you come up with something.."
For what it's worth, while I did not go to the Pulse concert, but last Pink Floyd concert I attended was "The Wall" tour, in New York, back in 1980, and that's the album on which "Comfortably Numb" appears. At the time, it was the most expensive tour ever put on, and IIRC, there were only 12 shows in the US, 7 shows in LA and 5 shows in NY. It was an amazing concert, and seeing the band play the entire "The Wall" album live was really something... During the first half of the show, roadies were literally building a wall in front of the stage, so by midway through the concert, the musicians would appear on top of the wall, or where sections of the wall would open up, and much of the last half of the show were animated films set to the music, as well as giant puppets. It was really something else.
I've been lucky enough to see them on every tour since the Animals album your in 77, (was too young sadly to go before then), but was at this Gig at Earls Court in 1994 on the Division Bell tour. All of Floyd's gigs were performed in quadraphonic rather than stereo, just awesome.
Managed to see them twice back in the 80's. But if you can get to see the Australian Pink Floyd tribute band then it's the next best thing. They are keeping it alive.

That second guitar solo has moved many a grown man to tears (raises hand). Greatest guitar solo ever.
I've heard and read a lot of music fans offer equally good solo masterpieces but I agree with you, David, that this is the pinnacle of guitar playing. Stunning...
I have to cover my keyboard when I listen to this. (I like to read the reactions)
I admit..
Sniff…….no idea what you are talking about…….
@@canudigit5565 Pretty sure someone is cutting onions right now
Anyone who hasn't seen them in concert, I'm sorry. My heart goes out to you.
I seen the Animals tour in Cleveland. Even though it was decades ago l still remember it.
Momentary lapse in reason your, Wembley with my dad. 1988. Still remember like it was yesterday
Pulse tour, Chantilly (near Paris). I will never forget this. Nature itself joined the light show in form of a distant thunderstorm behind the stage.
Me too... First in 73. 4 times total. We use to camp out for tickets.
@@andyhemsted4570 Same concert and same year in Mannheim Germany.
Welcome to the Pink Floyd experience. This song, guitar solo, and entire album are considered one of the greatest in history. It's a sonic and visual journey to a place only in your imagination. Pure musical genius on display. Once you learn the history and the meaning behind Pink Floyd, you'll get to the next level of understanding their lyrics. Hope you enjoyed the ride, please come back again soon. \m/
Ah amazing! Yeah, I don’t really know too much about Pink Floyd despite always knowing about them y’know.
Thank you for commenting😊💜
The Pink Floyd Experience was a name they used early on.....
Where music stops David Gilmour continues. He creates a connection to your soul with his guitar. He takes you on a musical journey.
Next level of understanding…. Well put 👏
@@rmyikzelf5604 "The Pink Floyd Sound"
Comfortably Numb is not a song.. its an experience. A life changing experience.
Agree 1 million percent
Gilmour's soul bleeds from his guitar, always so precise, lots of space and carefully paced to take you away on a journey. Pink Floyd is an experience that will not be rushed but will always be remembered...
It's been said David Gilmore plays the notes you didn't know you needed to hear.
So glad I got to see them.
@@kenwelch198 It's also been said that every Fender Stratocaster ever made dreams of being picked up by Dave Gilmour as he goes on stage to play this song.
slo motion shredding, what a pro. just fantastic.
Pink Floyd - Will still be being played in 100 years time. That will be the testament to how great they are!
When the next Voyager space craft is sent into space it should have Pink Floyd music onboard
.....a HUNDRED???? BAH!!! 1000 YEARS....and on.....and on....and shine on.....
❤agree
To hear someone who isn’t a die-hard fan praise Gilmour’s solos in this song is so refreshing. It’s well known in the Pink Floyd community to be one of the greatest guitar solos in music history, but I fear a lot of fans say that just because they hear it so often. I smiled so much when you commented on it:) it just proves how beautiful it is
You have to be standing in front of that stage, with that music pulsing through your body along with the visual explosion of the light show turning the whole concert into a complete transcendental experience for it to live within you forever. I have seen many great bands and performers over the years but nobody comes close to Pink Floyd. I still feel emotional simply watching this all these years later…
40 years later and I still get chills when David's solo kicks in.
Ive seen this solo make many people cry, including me, rheres just something about it. The best solo ever recorded in my opinion. Breathtaking. Got to love pink floyd ❤️
I'm from kazakhstan,im 23 years old,and im always getting emotional when i hear an amazing solo of this song
Nice to meet you, and thank you for sharing 🫂💜
you are not alone my brother.
Well, it gets worse as you age.. Or, wait, actually I meant it gets better 😂
Did you notice how in the long shots the crowd is motionless, totally enthralled.... this song does something to your soul... lifts you up and takes you away.... there is a reason this is the number 1 guitar solo of all time.
Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd..... I have been along for the ride since I was about 7 and first heard my brothers copy of Dark side of the moon...... you will be in for a wonderous time!
I saw the Pink Floyd kick off tour of the Dark side of the Moon back in 73 and the crowd acted the same way
I didn’t I’m afraid, but I’m happy to go back and take a look at this now. Thank you for commenting 💜💜
I cannot explain in words where their music takes me, but let me say that, if that is where I will go when I die, then I am not afraid of dying because I know that absolute perfection awaits me.
It's possible there's a connection between the crowd's mellowness and the odd-smelling hazy smoke that was everywhere at these events. ;^)
@@moi01887 I have no idea what you mean... (inhales deeply)...mmmm...yeah.....
Most...Epic...Guitar..Solo...Ever! I was fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd on this particular tour in 1994 (May) in Foxboro, Massachusetts in the U.S. They are my all time favorite! Nobody does live concerts like they did.
Which night?. I was there for the 2nd night when it was all foggy from the weather and made the lasers and lights more epic!!!!
@@jasonkeaveney1187 No, it was the third and final night in Foxboro (a Friday, if I remember correctly). It was clear and breezy. But I bet that was a cool effect the fog had on the lasers/lights. They put on an amazing show.
I'm always proud to say that i saw them live at Earls court (where this was filmed) the same week, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
You should check out "Sorrow", "Time", "High hopes", "Great gig in the sky and "Run like hell" all from the same concert.
Have always loved Pink Floyd. The first time I saw this concert footage I actually got weak in the knees and tried to imagine what it would be like to have been there. As someone with chronic neuromuscular pain, this song means the most to me. In some ways just listening to PF is a form of pain relief. It's actually about Roger Waters' experience of needing to have a pain shot for abdominal pain right before going on stage and how it affected him. You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it.
Aww! I didn’t know this! Thank you for explaining this to me, means a lot. Also thank you for sharing with me also, I’m sorry you’re going through that. I hope you have more good days than bad days💜💜
@@millennialmeetsmusic Thank you!
@@millennialmeetsmusic Whilst this was the initial impetus for writing the song, ROger used this experience to expand it's meaning to incorporate it into a wider physiological anti-social analysis of modern life as a huge part of his Album/Flim story known as The Wall. It itself was one of the best selling albums of all time and the Film and music critically acclaimed world wide!!! If you want to experience more of this album and or film, you really should do it from front to back in its entirety in a single sitting. I'd suggest the music first closely followed by the film which can helps explain some aspects of the music. It is well worth the listen/investigation - as its best selling status demands! Enjoy!
Put it this way, as someone that was at this concert.. It was loud! Loud & visually magnificent. 👍🏴🇬🇧
Great job Honey but, PLEASE, never stop in the middle of a David Gilmour guitar solo.
It's just something you don't do.
Anyway, great reaction!
✌✌ and 💕💕 to you!
PS: This solo is considered one of the greatest solos in all history.
I tend to agree. I've been a Pink Floyd fan ever since I was 13
back in 1973. They are my ALL TIME favorite band. Period.
For reals, my intentions were because of reacting rules, is all. Otherwise I agree with you. Also thank you for going about this in a kind way! 😊💜
@@millennialmeetsmusic reaction rules do NOT require you to interrupt the solo. There are a lot of other places to stop and comment. Not this solo. It is a mortal sin.
No, you do not interrupt this solo. I can understand why, if its your first time, but it is a crime against music to interrupt. It just is. Wih age will come experience and you will know in future. But thank you.
@@millennialmeetsmusic I disagree
With many on this point. If I want to hear the solos uninterrupted I will just watch the original video. I come to these videos to hear and see the reaction. To me, a reaction has more feeling to it if it is 'in the moment'.
In Becky's defence, she had no way of knowing the solo was coming up. Because of the solo being so long, she HAD to pause to be safe. If she'd known it was coming, she could have paused right before... plus, she knew but stated she had to. 😢
Real music that puts tears in your eyes, but only if you grew up with it. ❤
Now you know way all us old timers from the 70's just smile at those who don't know.......
I was at this concert at Earls court in London 1994. Best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of concerts, can't believe it was 30 years ago. So happy it was filmed so I can relive that awesome night over and over again and not have to rely on my failing memory 😂. Everyone has to watch this concert and acknowledge what a awesome band Floyd were and what an amazing guitarist Gilmore is.🇬🇧🤘
Check out more from the Pulse concert. Warning: you will be hooked for life:)
😊💜
I was there that night - upper tier, a couple of rows back, almost facing the mixing desk and mirror ball, on the left (stage right).
This was in the middle of a fourteen-night run at Earl's Court, which finished with their last full concert (although they reunited for an 18-minute set at Live 8).
And that outro is the greatest guitar solo of all time. You were doing so well until you committed the cardinal sin at 10:13.
Most lead guitarists plug their guitar into the pedal board and amp, then feed it to a mixing desk and PA.
David Gilmour Plugs his guitar into his heart, then feeds it directly into your soul.
He can get more out of one note than most guitarists can from the whole fretboard.
This was the middle of a three-song encore, after a nineteen-song concert split by an interval about halfway through.
So he is nicely warmed up!
The amazing light show just does not come across on video.
The lasers were like nothing we had ever seen - they were experimental and the most powerful ever created, and every single one in existence was used in the performance, leased from the developer.
That circular lighting rig had been static and vertical until then. The middle of it had a projection screen which was used extensively throughout the concert, so when the whole rig started moving to the horizontal plane and forming a ring of lights above the stage, crowning and coning David Gilmour with lights, it was already epic - how they got that past Health and safety (UK) or OSHA (US), never mind their equivalents all over Europe and in Canada, I have no idea, but that rig is several tons, carries a massive electrical load, and is swinging on wires above all the performers. So nobody was even remembering the mirror ball, as all their attention was on the stage - until it suddenly exploded like a star going supernova over the centre of the auditorium!
The mirror ball was the largest ever made, and the spotlights hitting it are 2,000 watts each of Xenon lighting - so 50,000 watts or so.
Although they didn't do it that night, I heard that occasionally they would change the spin direction partway through, resulting in half the audience falling over!
But I for one was walking on air for about a week after that concert - and I don't think anyone else present would have felt much different except slightly in duration.
I saw Pink Floyd 23 times, 11 times on this tour and the guitar solo was slightly different each night. Gilmour plays with so much soul and emotion. Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd!
Wow! That’s a lot! Very impression and a lot of great memories it seems 😊💜
I'm an old Floyd fan from the 60s and saw them 4 times, saw Gilmour solo twice and Waters 4 times and I thought I had seen them a lot, LOL. I am truly impressed, I would have loved to see them pre Dark Side but I have no complaints, modern fans would die to see what we saw back in the day!
I saw them on this tour. I was 15 years old and saw Floyd in Columbus, Ohio with my brothers. It was my first concert and is still the best I've attended, and I've seen a lot of concerts. I still have the tattered concert shirt and the ticket stub. This video doesn't do justice to how magical it all felt during this song. The part during the solo where the focus shifts to the giant crystal ball was so epic and surprising, and then it evolved from there! It was breathtaking.
Wow! Love how you still have the merch! 😊
I was there! I grew up in Dayton...small world, or something else clever😊
I was at the same concert too!! I was 18 years old and went with my brother. Our dad had the tickets and was supposed to go with our step-mom but they got divorced, so he gave the tickets to us. He has been to their Delicate Sound of Thunder concert, so he wanted us to experience Pink Floyd, he said he wasn't sure if they if they would ever tour again. It is the best concert experience I've had to this day and I don't see anyone else topping it.
I have followed Pink Floyd since i was 12 yrs old, i'm 57 now. No band like them! I saw this concert at the venue it was recorded from, Earls Court London. Stunning concert, never matched.. Why? Because any other group just isn't pink Floyd! 🇬🇧
I was fortunate enough to be at the tour in1994 at Earls Court , was sitting not quite below the glitter ball. Epic concert never to be repeated.
I am so jealous, I was only just discovering them (properly), in '94, I've missed the chance to ever see them live
I was sitting 90 degrees to the right of you and up one level. An epic event, as you so rightly say. It's hard to believe so much time has passed by since then and I'm now a pensioner.
Repeat after me.. I will never interrupt with a comment the best guitar solo ever..😮
From a baby boomer who saw them live on many occasions on this blue marble of ours, I can say IMHO, that "pretty good" doesn't cut it. That is considered one of the finest guitar solos of music history. I was blessed like so many others to be in the audience at the Earls Court concerts 6 nights in a row 94 and it was as good every night as the last. Left speechless for weeks.
It has been said that Poly Sampson his wife said that David has trouble expressing himself with words at times, and lets his guitar express his feelings for him. No one can make the guitar take you on a journey into the next dimension like Gilmour. That is music that today's bands struggle to create, it has feeling, it has emotion and it has a life of its own.
My first Pink Floyd "experience" came to me in 1975 as a Sophomore in High School. A friend's older brother bought "Dark Side of the Moon" and we sat in his basement with the stereo "cranked" and listened to the full album through a set of four "Klipsch" speakers connected to a Pioneer quad amp. I became a huge fan that day, but it took me another 4-5 years (and 4 more albums) to really appreciate their musical genius. After listening to "The Wall" in 1979 there was never any doubt that they would go down in history as one of the greatest bands to ever take the stage.
Best all time guitar player to come out of England. When he plays everyone listens. My opinion Pink Floyd is top 5 all time greatest rock bands ever. Great reaction and great song!
The big smile on the face at the beginning guitar solo(and she says that was epic, and every Pink Floyd fans is your minds going to be blown when the main solo goes off). They came to our town one week before my wedding, so the tickets were not in the budget at the time, the concert was sold out with 20,000 people(I think), but we sat outside with what some people estimated at 5000 people. That was a big crowd for a city our size.
💜😊
@@millennialmeetsmusic ...if only you could have heard it UNniterrrupted...
This was my fifth live performance. Hearing them is wonderful. Seeing them added a whole new dimension. Being there to hear them while seeing the show, while feeling the base beat in your chest; it takes a day to get over a full live performance!
That last solo is what all other guitar solos want to be when they grow up.
I first heard this when I bought the Wall way back in the seventies.
For me, the best guitar solo in music history. Hardly a day goes by that I don't play Queen, Pink Floyd, and Nightwish albums. For my taste, the best bands ever.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Three bands right for me too without any need to add anything (do listen music by other artists but always return to these) 🇸🇪🇫🇮
Four minutes of guitar solo heaven! Considered one of the best guitar solos ever.
Nobody bends it like Dave Gilmour. Nobody.
One is not like the others lol
Nightwish! Hmmm, guess what I'm about to check out - thanks!
Sir Dave play's the guitar like nobody else, I've had the almighty pleasure of seeing Floyd twice and seeing Sir Dave's solo concert once, absolutely amazing, Pinkfloyd the greatest band that ever was and will ever be.
I always say Pink Floyd is my favorite all-time band, while Rush is a close, close second. This, by far, is my favorite Pink Floyd song of all-time. It never gets old, it always holds meaning and will always pull me into the story taking place within the context of the lyrics and the music. It's a multi-layered journey that never fails to deliver both emotionally and spiritually. Enjoy!
I was at this very concert and I had tears running down my face the whole time. I was 38 at the time and there was a girl standing next to me. She suddenly grabbed hold of my arm and I realised her legs had given way. The poor girl was so overwhelmed that I had to sit her in her seat.
That is the power of Floyd.
Saw them in 1988. Their shows are always epic. The concert by which all others are judged.
Watch "Sorrow", "High Hopes", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Run Like Hell", "Coming Back to Life" all from the same PULSE Concert. You will be blown away...
Welcome to my world. I have followed them around since a teenager in 1969.
Still listening, still watching. Glad you found them.
💜😊
I was at this same tour. I saw them in Yankee Stadium in NYC. As you can see they were unbelievable. The amazing thing about Floyd is they have speakers throughout the arena so they can for instance have people seemingly talking,mumbling behind where you are sitting as part of the song. People who have heard the Dark Side of the Moon album will appreciate how that would help in reproducing the album effects. When I saw them I was pretty high lol and there was seemingly some obnoxious people talking as the song started. I turned around to politely tell them to shut up. when I realized it was just sound effects to open the song.
Yeah it's kinda creepy... The same barely audible spoken voices that you hear in the album seem to come from right over your shoulder when you're in the stands for instance. While much of the primary sound is coming from the stage. Amazing. Same thing happens with a lot of the special sound effects. They spare no expense to reproduce the albums.
@@flubblert I am glad you backed me up on this. My brother saw them real early on. I think it was during the Ummagumma period, and he said that they made it sound like birds were flying overhead from the front of the building to the back. and that had to be in the late 60s. Amazing.
@@harlanginsberg7269 Well, I don't know how early you got to the venue that night, but as we arrived about a half hour before the show started it sounded like the stadium was full of birds.. there was none to be seen. Then you heard a helicopter hovering overhead but there was none in sight. Then you hear the sound of a lawn mower moving from one end of the field to the other. Then a motorboat doing the same thing in the opposite direction. All of it sounded so real you could touch it. Just a heads up to the audience of what we were about to experience.
@@flubblert It's possible that happened at my show but truthfully I did a bunch of hash that night and my 2 friends were tripping and it was almost 30 years ago so I am not sure lol.. If they did it your night I am sure they did it at my show too. Floyd controlled everything at their shows.
The thing about Pink Floyd is that the music doesn't *need* the light show, but somehow gets taken to a whole new dimension with it. It's designed as an audio visual experience - nothing you saw was an accident. Although the song is understood best in the arc of The Wall album, it does stand alone pretty well - it's a song about struggling with yourself and your internal demons and receiving help from the outside, which is why it's set out the way it is with a question/answer type format. Plain old darkness and light, life and death.
OMG you did NOT just pause this at the peak of the guitar solo.
Yes, I was at this concert. Earls Court, 1994. This particular tune is my favourite tune of all time and this is, for me, the best version. I'd seen Floyd a few years earlier at Wembley stadium, again it was a stunning night. But the version you just watched blew me away. I've lost count how many times I've heard this. I know every note off by heart. This concert totally rocked my world and this tune still has the ability to give me goosebumps.
Glad you enjoyed it.
💜💜
I was there too, greatest concert ever.. By the greatest group ever. 🇬🇧
Thank you for reacting to Pink Floyd. Gen X viewer here who was fortunate to attend a Pink Floyd concert in 1985. Was out doors after an entire day of rain and the lazors bounced off the clouds. The music would spin around the crowd in the baseball stadium.. Was the greatest concert I had ever been too. It was still part of The Wall show. First time seeing channel, looking forward to more.
Thank you 💜💜
I saw it all with a group of friends and it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen...I swear we didn't blink from the start. The sound was absolutely huge, but as clear as a bell. It took you over and for 2.5 hours you went 'Somewhere else"...I'll never forget that experience as long as i live and it's awesome to watch young peoples reactions when they experience the very best of the best..Make some time to watch the whole "Pulse" concert...One of the girls with us discribed the whole concert as 'Orgasmic'...A very special night it was...
Yep, I was there at Earls Court 1994. Awesome gig. Try Sorrow next from same concert.
Thank you 😊
I have been fortunate to see them twice over the years. The first time it was "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and when they finished they went off and came back on again for an encore and the piano plinked and the arena erupted because we all recognised it as the start of a track called "Echoes" from an earlier album (The track is 23 and a half mins long). What an encore!!
The second time I saw them was performing "The Wall" and it was another great experience. During the concert, a wall got built on stage and as the wall obscured the band flaps dropped down from the sides and little vignettes were played out in rooms in the flaps. At the end the whole wall vibrated and collapsed. Two amazing concerts and two amazing light shows and overall experiences. (These were in London).
Hi, and thanks for the reaction. I delayed a trip to Poland with my Polish grandmother to see this concert in Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee with my then girlfriend (now wife of 28 years) in 1994. It was FANTASTIC!!!
Saw them for the “momentary lapse of reason” tour and the “division bell” tour.Awesome shows I’ll never forget.No band has put on a show like it since
I first saw Pink Floyd in '94 Boston, USA when i was working there, my room mate talked me into going and It changed my life !! My whole attitude to music changed. PF is an experience that feeds your Soul, not just music.still listen to Pulse 30 years later. I want Breathe played at my Funeral.
I have had the privilege to see Pink Floyd twice.
April 18, 1988 for the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour and then again on June 18, 1994 for the Pulse tour.
Both are hands down the best concerts I have ever been too.
Their music grabs your soul and takes it on a journey that no other band could ever do.
Welcome to the Pink Floyd experience!!
Snap!!! I saw both those shows too 1988 Wembley Stadium. 1994 Earls Court. Both stunning!
@@leemorris3805 I would of loved to seen them there.
Especially in Earls court.
Sadly those days are over, now I can only hope David gets close here to see him one last time.
Pink Floyd have been an awe inspiring band since the 70s. Their concerts include the best light shows to go along with some of the best music. Then along comes David Gilmour with his epic guitar solos. This solo has been called one of the greatest ever ! It's one of the most heartfelt, melodic solos you'll ever hear. I grew up on this stuff and still listen to it today !
This song is a part of The Wall album [and stage set and movie] and while the description in it is based on an actual experience as a child with a fever driven delirium, it is also, within the full performance of The Wall, the point in the story where the main character {a band member called Pink}, has had a complete breakdown and band doctor is sent in to get him into shape to preform - it's worth getting the full show rather than just the individual song. I'd recommend watching the movie as the best way to fully understand the story being told, though I personally like the album version best [I have the full album on my phone and often listen to it when I am running around town shopping and such - it runs just a bit over 80 minutes]
I wasn't at Earl's Court but my sons and I saw the Pulse concert twice in the States. I'm so glad this video is of such high quality. It doesn't match seeing them "In the Flesh" but it still gets quite a bit of attention, and rightfully so.
I had the pleasure of seeing this performed live in Oakland, California. Spiritual, whatever that translates to to you personally, is all I can describe.
Well, i'm 64 and i saw, one of the concerts of the Pulse tour in 1994 live in Lisbon.. it was just EPIC!!!... just one thing... uou never ever interrupt a guitar solo of Pink Floyd... it's a sacrilege...just kiding...Welcom to the worl of Pink Floyd...
Was there for this ,still by far the best I've ever been too and I've been to hundreds. Thankyou PF
Consider watching the 'Pulse' concert in full--one of the best live performances captured. They were at the height of their power as musicians. They never bought into rock star persona--music was the central focus. The stage show cost 25 million--in the 90s. The band was always cutting edge in terms of performance and innovation on vinyl. I was lucky to see them live 2x. This show included the entire live performance of 'Dark Side of the Moon' as well.
Add 22 years, to 2016, David Gilmour, Comfortably Numb live at Pompei. He's 70 in this concert and I think it's his best. Truly a treasure.
100% CORRECT.
Was lucky enough to go to this concert. It was one of the greatest things I have or will ever see in my life.
Thank you Becky for your reaction K’s to music U grew up with. It’s heartening that younger folk are getting in to music from back then. Yes I was at this concert I’ve seen the 6 times. Each time they’ve taken my spirit on a musical journey, and left me awed and speechless. Keep up the excellent reactions. Take care
There is a treasure trove of masterpieces from this concert - Run like Hell , Sorrow , Another Brick in the Wall . Coming Back to Life , Learning to Fly and many others . Guitar playing styles like you have never seen !!
I saw that show when it debuted in Detroit. First live performance of DSOTM in 20 years. A memory I will cherish for the rest of my life,.
I honestly think that no person born in this millennium will ever understand the gravity of Pink Floyd's music.
disagree, i feel it with my whole body every single time
I was at this concert...god I mis those days
I saw them in concert in the 70s in a soccer stadium in Canada. you cant imagine the experience of seeing them live. they take you on a trip and it only ends when the concert does. the most amazing concert I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. nothing is like the experience of seeing them live.
PINK FLOYD come from the another dimension.....OH mY GOD. I love them..!!! specially this song. Hi Becky..!!!
Heeeey Samuel 😊😊💜
I saw this tour and it was one of the most mind bending, life transformational experiences. Glad to see younger folks really getting to know the genius of Pink Floyd
I had the good fortune to be able to see them in concert 4 times over a 1 1/2 year time frame during this tour. Once front row, once last row and once indoor. Truly an amazing show ... every one of them.
Hint- from the same album you watched comfortably numb, you should watch ‘great gig in the sky’.
Should've been there. It was magical. absolute electric during this song. The best show I ever saw by a mile.
When I discovered Pink Floyd as a young teenager, I remember people thought it was weird I was such a fan. I’m over 40 now and look, new generations still taking Pink Floyd up because of how good and different it is. Timeless!
I started listening to them when a friend handed me the album "Metal" in 1972..
The album is titled "Meddle", their 6th, released 1971 in most markets. Giving you benefit of doubt , let's chalk that up to spell check 👍☮️.
@@emes1845 Thank you for the correction but as far has the mistake goes, just chalk it up to absent mindedness.
No worries 🤪! Like I've been bestowed with guardianship of all things Pink Floyd 🙄. Just my OCD kicking in and the opportunity to show off my near encyclopedic knowledge of the band's catalog, their music means that much to me. That's not bragging. Actually kind of pathetic but we all have our hangups 😱!
@@emes1845 Not a problem, I love the band also.. Take care!
Saw this at Veteran’s Stadium in Philly. Still burned into my memory as the most amazing live performance of anything ever. The lasers and that flowering disco ball… 🤩
Another new Pink Floyd fan is what we have here, this video does the trick every, single time! Yes, I saw them on this tour in Foxboro, MA in 1994, it was the amazing Pulse Tour and they killed it as always, the video you saw was just part of the whole show, I highly recommend it.
I also saw them in 1975 (All of Dark Side of the Moon with Echoes as the Encore), 1977 (All of both Animals and Wish You Were Here) and 1987 ((Gilmour took over after Waters left, they came back eager and inspired). I also saw David Gilmour twice on consecutive Saturday nights in the mid 80s doing Floyd and solo stuff with Mick Ralph's (Bad Company) on killer 2nd guitar, plus saw Roger Waters 4 times solo, first with Eric Clapton on lead guitar doing old Floyd classics, then a greatest hits tour, then all of Dark Side, then he brought out an updated version of the Wall performance, including the giant styro wall they knocked down at the end. You need to hear these albums at some point, they will alter your perception on what great music truly can be, you literally are transported into another audio dimension, where you forget having a bad day and come out amazed and knowing more of what made this band great. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
I saw the tour July 14th at the Pontiac Silverdome. We sat 15th row, stage right, on the main floor. During the song One of These Days you could feel the heat from the pyro as intensely as if you were standing on the stage. I was so happy when they released this on video, as I was almost too close to take in all of the stage with the lasers shooting over my head. 29 years later, this is still the most amazing concert experience I've ever witnessed (although Iron Maiden's Legacy of the Beast tour was a pretty good runner up). I also still occasionally wear the concert shirt from the show, but I'm much more protective of it now.
I was at this concert at Earls Court in London . The show was brilliant and that song Comfortably Numb was the encore followed by Run Like Hell if you want to see a great finish to a concert watch that .
Yes, I was at Earl’s Court at this very concert and firstly, every song from start to finish was incredible.
But when comfortably numb played, I think the whole arena had a feeling we were witnessing guitar solo history.
I turned around to look at the people around me a few times and everyone was awestruck, crying or had their jaws on the floor or all 3. And then we were treated with from start to finish The Dark Side of the Moon album played live from start to finish.
I’ve been to the way too many shows in my life but this particular show will always remain as the best live performance I’ve ever seen….period.
I saw Pink Floyd 9 times ! The guitar solo is around around 5 minutes! A recent poll voted it greatest of all time ( I agree 100 percent )
PF are the top of the ladder when it come to a live show.
Glad you enjoyed it.
You just witnessed one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and it was fun to watch you get excited when the solos start. Superb reaction video.
I saw them in London on this tour. We were about five rows back from the front, but that meant the bulk of the incredible light show was behind us. When the finale light feature appeared as a glitterball, I spent the back end of that song standing with my back to the band. The glitterball was huge. When it opened it had a monstrously powerful light inside that threw out a lot of heat. The drama is lost in the video, but on the finishing chord just the glitterball internal light was on, alien and pulsing.
Floyd always had a secret hidden light feature as a finale and over the years it got bigger and bigger,
Snap... we were 3 rows from the front.. ...and also turned round to see the huge glitter ball. October 1994.. Earls Court London
@@leemorris3805 awesome!
Going through old papers I found a ticket for Tuesday 4th July 1989 “Harvey Goldsmith Presents Pink Floyd” at London Arena. It says a gala night for charity but in truth I can’t remember a thing about it.
@@tinymonster9762 Nope me neither. We saw them at the old Wembley stadium in 1988. Then Earls Court in 1994.
Certainly a classic Pink Floyd song & David Gilmore is definitely one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I saw this same version of this tour in the USA & the experience was unbelievable. A video doesn't do it justice. Thanks for putting it out there.
Thank you 😊😊
Now you have listened to pink floyd you wont be able to stop listening them . Ive been at it for 45years ha ha .
Thank you gor yjis reaction yo one of the best live guitarsolo's of all time. Your reaction was pure and genuine. I did subscribe. Looking gorward to more of uour reacyions, greetings ftom holland
Aww thank you so much, appreciate that. Danke 💜💜
hahaha her face when the guitar solo begins. Priceless
Yes, was at this Pulse concert back in 1994 at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit, Michigan...best concert experience I ever attended. They played DSOTM in its entirety as well. Great reaction..gaining yet another young PF fan! Welcome.
Thank you 😊💜
I wasn't at the "Pulse" concert, but the "Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour", a few years before this one. It was absolutely amazing!
i seen them twice on that tour and twice previously, I'm 56 and seen Floyd four times....legends live...nice to see you enjoyed it being so much younger.. and nice review , kudos
Yes I was there and it was the best concert ever. No stereo is able to do it justice though as they played their music through a stadium sized quadraphonic sound system.
Awesome experience.
Saw em 4 times starting in 73. Probably my favorite from my favorite band. Capt.Bob
I was there the night that was filmed. It's a concert that will live with me till my dying day. I was 23 back then, dear god that's a lifetime ago lol.
I saw Pink Floyd in concert in a sold out Football Stadium in 1994. I was a transformative experience. It was like a hug from God!
Seen Floyd twice this one and The Wall tour 80/81 this one is he best came out blind and deaf best night of my life
I've seen them eight times starting in 1986 to the 90s Cleveland. Stadium richmond..Pittsburgh... I was never disappointed from the music to the light show!
the legend goes that the lighting engineer came to the band and asked what they wanted for the show. they handed him a blanko cheque and said: "you come up with something.."
For what it's worth, while I did not go to the Pulse concert, but last Pink Floyd concert I attended was "The Wall" tour, in New York, back in 1980, and that's the album on which "Comfortably Numb" appears. At the time, it was the most expensive tour ever put on, and IIRC, there were only 12 shows in the US, 7 shows in LA and 5 shows in NY. It was an amazing concert, and seeing the band play the entire "The Wall" album live was really something... During the first half of the show, roadies were literally building a wall in front of the stage, so by midway through the concert, the musicians would appear on top of the wall, or where sections of the wall would open up, and much of the last half of the show were animated films set to the music, as well as giant puppets. It was really something else.
I've been lucky enough to see them on every tour since the Animals album your in 77, (was too young sadly to go before then), but was at this Gig at Earls Court in 1994 on the Division Bell tour. All of Floyd's gigs were performed in quadraphonic rather than stereo, just awesome.
makes me cry every time i watch or hear this song, i am 57 and bought the wall LP in 1979 when it was released, play it all the time

Watching you young ones reacting to the stuff that made your gran move, is delightful.

Managed to see them twice back in the 80's. But if you can get to see the Australian Pink Floyd tribute band then it's the next best thing. They are keeping it alive.
I was there with my late wife, fantastic memories 😊
Awww! 💜 Thinking of you both 💜
One thing that is important - the SOUND experience was perfect, even in a sports arena… absolutely perfect
