You just witnessed the greatest band in the world. I was there myself 23 yrs old 1994. Still cant believe what I witnessed . It was a magical moment caught in time.
That ending guitar solo brings out every emotion in me. Pain, sadness and joy. I'll be honest, every time I hear it it brings tears to my eyes. That truly is the greatest guitar solo of all time.
That guitar solo! Speaks to me in a way words can't. Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Thanks for the reaction bro!
" Imagine beeing there..." you say?! I was there !!! It was the money best spent in my intire life. It was stratospheric, it was magical, it was a mix of fellings, to explain Pink Floyd, it's to try to explain the universe !! They are legends.
The second solo is considered by many to be the greatest guitar solo ever. When the disco ball comes down and opens up, in the middle is a diamond, a nod to Syd Barrett.
Pink Floyd was not ahead of their time. They created their own time and space. Pink Floyd helped my spirit and soul develop as a young girl in the 70s. I feel like they are a part of me and I know my life would be different if they weren’t with me on my journey. When it’s my time to leave I take solace knowing they will be with me.
Everyone sees further by standing on the shoulders who went before. Roger Waters felt the same when he heard Sgt Peppers for the first time. Without Sgt Peppers we would never have got Dark Side of the Moon. But why did artists give up climbing the heights in favour of lesser things? Punk was at its height when the Wall came out.
Wow, After watching this amazing video, I was wondering what could blow my mind further, and then, I see your poetic assessment of it, and I say, now that answers a lot of questions that none of us have been able to answer or even try to put into words!
I agree 100%! The first time I heard them (Hey You), I stared at the radio the entire length of the song with my mouth open. My mind couldn't reconcile what it was hearing. I feel blessed and fortunate to be alive so I can hear Pink Floyd.
David rips his heart and soul, serves it directly to ours, deeply out of deepness and leaves us rethinking our existence. This is how the music is supposed to speak to us.
David Gilmore knows why he is here . He’s pursued that destiny everyday of his life . Many of us learned how to play an instrument but to be blessed with the creative mind required to put together such masterpieces is otherworldly . Maybe he can’t see it , being on the inside looking out , but to the rest of us , this is the eighth wonder of the world . I never had the privilege of seeing them in concert . Now that brief moment is gone . I don’t miss many concerts anymore .
How many times have I heard this song, watched this performance-I could not even count. Yet, I still get goosebumps every single time. It is my favorite song of all time, from my favorite band of all time. And that is why-I still feel the same things when I listen to their masterpieces, no matter how many times I have heard them.
When i was a teenager and the song would come on the radio, I'd scream every single time! I cry every time I hear this solo. Pink Floyd is the ceiling, everyone else is the floor. No one comes close.
I've been listening to them for 50yrs and you people will still be listening 50yrs from now, Run like He'll, Sorrow, learning to fly or anything from this concert, they are an experience love your reactions ❤️
You're right - I truly believe that Pink Floyd will still be listened to a hundred years from now. Not routinely for most, but they will be studied in music classes and held up as the premier example of prog rock, and the amazingly creative period of music that was the 60's - 80's, and there will still be those who light one up while drifting away on some PF. People still listen to Mozart - PF is my Mozart.
This track gets me every time. I'm 64 now, and the tears still well up in my eyes as I'm transported into another world by the sheer soulfulness of the guitar solo. Thanks for your reaction, it sounds like another Floyd fan has been born.
I'm 64 as well...saw PF in 75 and 77 and Roger Waters solo a couple times too. When I get to heaven I'll book Yes, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and Pink Floyd for my first concert show.
With a band like Pink Floyd that sounds this good live you can't go wrong a live performance. I've seen them live a few times and every time they sounded this good. Delicate Sound of Thunder is another great concert video that is well worth a listen.
Art like this is timeless and will be enjoyed for countless generations. Think about it, in 500 years and in 1000 years, kids will be mind-blown by Pink Floyd. I truly believe that, and 1000 years is not even a stretch.
It truly doesn't get better than Pink Floyd. My day doesn't feel right if I don't listen to some Pink Floyd. I'm so glad you found them, it only gets better from here. Doesn't sound possible but you'll see. 🌈💗✌🏽
The fact that Pink Floyd's album "Dark side of the moon " was in Australia's top 100 for 751 weeks speaks volumes for how outstanding they were... and still are. Long live Pink Floyd..
I was there :) The real highlight was the encore: They played the entire Dark Side Of The Moon with all the original screen footage in the 2nd half (special note goes to One of these days with double pigs and the plane crashing into the tower earlier in the concert) I might also mention, for 2 days before the concerts (they sold out 4 nights there) there were 'warnings' of UFO's flying over London on Radio 1 (kudos to Simon Mayo) , and one the first night part of the seating scaffold collapsed on one side of the arena: David Gilmour personally went to the hospital to visit every fan who was injured.
I had forgotten that bit! Saw the Rotterdam gig, Earls Court had extra nights added, soome mates got tickets, but the van broke down, and they never got there!
One of the Greatest Rock Performances ever, possibly the GOAT Rock guitar solo too! Certainly, with all the lasers, incredible light show, phenomenal musicianship and the level of production here, and everything else is off the charts! It sounds Sooo good and it's 1994, no Autotune or computers or any crutch of any kind, they did it all right in front of you! Just a note: There are only 3 actual members of Pink Floyd here onstage, in fact there were only 3 members of PF from 1985, (when Roger Waters quit the band) up until 2008 when Rick Wright died from Cancer. It's easy to tell which ones they are, they're the 3 old guys, lol,... David Gilmour, (guitar), Rick Wright, (keyboards, and Nick Mason, (drums). The other musicians onstage are Pink Floyds' touring band for that time or that tour'. Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1964, so this Pulse Concert is 30 years later, so PF guys are all in their late 40s and early 50s. Check out "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse Concert, another great guitar solo from David Gilmour. There are so many from that Pulse Concert on RUclips and they're all unbelievably great, like "High Hopes", "Money", "Learning to Fly", and many more.
My HS graduating class of '79 voted "Another Brick In The Wall" and "Comfortably Numb" as our favorites. I'm almost 62 now and nothing has changed. What an iconic rendition.
This sublime song with its unbeliviable guitar solo was the "encore" of their show. I was at the Chantilly Hippodrome on the north of Paris in 1994, and this music, this fabulous light-show, this terrific sound were not just a concert : it had been a miracle which today brings me the same emotion than 30 years before...
This is one of if not the best songs of all time. Every time I hear it it’s like the first time. Sheer amazement. It’s like I can feel it in my soul my entire body buzzing
You just witnessed one of the greatest guitar solos ever !! I saw Pink Floyd around this time, and the concert was everything you could imagine. Awesome music, light show, and performance !! One of the best concerts I ever saw !!
It's amazing to watch a person listen to a band that has been your absolute favorite for over forty years! And no one over the years has been able to move them from this place!!! "Shine on you crazy diamond" - for me, an absolute explosion of the brain and the most favorite song.
One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. It does my old heart good to see a young man enjoying the music of my generation. Welcome aboard.
If you want to hear and see them at their peak of musicianship, you should watch the "Live at Pompeii" concert. They recorded it in the 70s during the period they wrote Darkside of the Moon and Meddle.
I was lucky enough to be at this and another 6 concerts of pink Floyd in the 80's 90's and 00's The FIRST GIG I ever went to was Pink Floyd at Wembley Stadium. I was lucky enough to win tickets for Live8 so saw the last performance when they reunited with Roger So wonderful to relive here
I was at this concert in Earl's Court, London. The gig was pulled just as the intro for SOYCD was building up for the opening of the show due to a seat collapse. Some injuries but no fatalities thank goodness. We were told to keep our ticket stub and came back two weeks later and they blew us away. Mind you, I was caned off my head on weed as were my friends and it seemed the whole audience! Magical. A moment in my life I'll remember forever
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!
Best guitar solo ever played on this planet! For more Pink Floyd live at „Pulse“: I recommend „High Hopes“, „Keep Talking“ and „Shine on you crazy diamond“!
This was a feast for the eyes as well as the ears ! Truly a wonderful performance and you can only imagine what it was like to be there on that historical night!
I saw this live, and have watched this dozens if not hundreds of times since, and I still get goosebumps. One of the longest guitar solos ever, and yet it still feels too short
Best concerts ever! I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd a couple of times, including this tour. Lucky to be alive while Pink Floyd was touring. Glad you found Floyd!!
This song is like a religious experience- in the last part of the guitar solo makes you feel like your raising up into the heavens!!! Amazing!! Great reaction!!
This is Pink Floyd, true legends for all music lovers. And live an experience without competition. Some light, some lasers and just pure music and the love for it.
Saw this show 2x in 1994. North Carolina & New Jersey. Different songs each show, but both had Comfortably Numb. Was an amazing experience that I still remember vividly today- 28 years later.
Great reaction. Thanks. I'm listening to Pink Floyd since I was 13. In all these 45 years I never managed to figure out to explain, what is happening to me. During and after the songs. I stopped working on that. I just accepted. Pink Floyd....goosebumbs everywhere, tears and the urgent wish, to make this world a better place....from up in the clouds, where I'm living during these songs. And I don't care, if this makes any sense
Thank you for absorbing their music! 👍✌️ You've got a like and sub from me dude! ✌️🤘 Please continue your Pink Floyd journey and respect the solos? Nice man 🤘👍
This is an epic masterpiece. Nobody can give the almost ethereal vibes that Pink Floyd does. Their music pulls you in and pervades all your senses. It’s almost like an altered level of consciousness. 😌🔥🤩
Got to see 2 Pulse shows. One outdoors in the rain. Lasers were epic. Glad you all get to see this epic Pulse concert. Those of us who attended are reliving time thru your reactions. Its awesome.
Yes! I saw them live in the Tampa Arena in 1988 ot 89. I was tripp'in on Orange Sunshine and everyone passing copious amounts of joints. It is an experience that is one of the great wonders of the world 🌍 definitely an out of body experience yet your awestruck by the sights,sounds and the arena thundering beneath your feet.
One thing everyone who has heard this performance for the first time has in common is the need for a few minutes to recover when it is over! Nicely done, young man!
I was fortunate enough to see their final concert in 1994 at Three rivers stadium in Pittsburgh. I still get goosebumps and tears to this day every time I hear it. My favorite band forever!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
I was right there in 94, I saw it all. My father had taken me with him. I was 12 years old and it was insane. It changed my life. And welcome to the Wordl of Pink Floyd
I was there!!. All those years ago, still blown away. Earls Court, London. Night certainly to remember. Thanks for bringing it back to life again. Love to hear your reaction, takes me right back.
i saw this tour in 94 in Mexico City... Since then i've seen countless of great bands and great shows in different parts of the world...But i've never seen a single one that reaches that level of perfection that Pulse tour did
I've been to only 1 pink floyd concert in 1977 and it was mind blowing! Actually mind blowing is an understatement! it just has to be experienced live is all I can say!
Now that, that right there is what is called MUSIC! I knew that you'd be able tp appreciate that & I'm so glad that you did. There's plenty more Pink Floyd for you to experience. Not a bad song anywhere. Pink Floyd was the best Concert I've ever been to, without exception. Keep Smiling... Cheers...
Yes! It looks like Pink Floyd probably brought you here to a place close to your soul, where you are at the same time connected to the rest. It must be something like that, but I can't really describe it well. You say “imagine if you were there!”, I was there in 1989 in a huge park in the Netherlands. The stage was so immense, I couldn't recognize the artists, they were so far away, but you saw everything, the stage was as big as an apartment building, the lightshow, my god!, lasers etc. combined with the music … and there were speakers on the corners of the park, the sound came from everywhere… When that huge disco ball opened it was like the heavens opened or something, unforgettable, and then that guitar solo that I didn't want to end, and none of the audience, really fantastic that this music has survived all time, analysis is not at all necessary, it touches you and you experience it. That day of that concert in 1989 was in the summer and it was a beautiful summer day and so we all stood outside, what a sound... around sunset Pink Floyd started with “Shine on you crazy diamond” that was really magical.
You've got the really BEST COMMENTS I've ever heard about this song when you affirm that the first part of the bridge is quietly sad and then, the harmonies go up & we can feel and see the open window and the full Sun which is comin'in ! That cannot be said any better ! Congratulations for U and this is what I call The Ultimate Band of All Time !!! Robert Girard Montreal
I’ve seen some big bands, but this was by far the best concert I ever went to. The performance and sound was unbelievable. One of the best guitar solos ever done.
I was there. Amazing. Loved seeing your reaction... pretty much my reaction at the time. Saw them live first back in '73... this pulse tour in 1994 was one of the most precise, performances and productions I've ever seen. So happy for everyone who's seeing this for first time... it'll be just as good 30 years from now. 👍
It’s almost speechless in a way of there’s no words to describe how incredible they are. Have to react to all the songs on Dark Side of the Moon album and the Wish You Were Here album from them for sure!!
I worked at a stereo store years ago. I was 19-20 at the time... Anyways I lent out my 2 CD set to a young part-timer. He came back with a reaction that would take me forever to text!!
We lost our only son that could play this and would her him play this in our basement and others.This song so reminds me of him and what we lost and brings me to tears .This song reminds me why he wanted to be numb .After serving in Iraq he was trying to numb himself from the pain and was self medicating and someone gave him pure fentanyl and basically murdered him .He was so talented at everything he did .A light that shined so bright it eventually goes out .We miss him so much it’s hard .Keep thinking he will walk through that front door again .Love your passion for music .
Glad you liked the show. Brings back memories of sitting backstage getting paid to watch the show. I was on the stage crew for Pulse setting up the stage.
I was there..well not there but at the Feyenoord Stadium Rotterdam (during their tour). Imagine yourself being there, with the glitter ball in the middle of the pitch illuminating the whole stadium. And....with quadrophonic sound. What a joy to witness. A fantastic experience. (Seen Pink Floyd multiple times and after that David Gilmour solo). There are some great cover bands, check them for perhaps some gigs over at your place.
Saw these guys 2 nights in a row in Oakland on this tour. AWESOME. Dude just comes out in a simple tee shirt & I swear that almost every video I've ever seen him in....he's NOT flashy about it. The man leaves the 'stank-face' at home & you might catch a slight smile or something....but he lets the guitar do ALL the talkin'. He looks almost bored....LOL.
Hi, yes it's the emotivness if their music. Imagine a vinyl version, a speaker each side of your head whilst lying on the floor. Fantastic🌟 you appear to get it.🇦🇺
Simply the best live concert of all time. IMO. Much respect and appreciation for your response.(does my heart good to hear someone reference "goose bumps", the one truly scientific indication of sincere response. 😎)
Purchased this concert through Apple Music, and it is loaded in my phone. Some of the best money I’ve spent. A wonderful, beautiful show by one of the greatest bands of all time at the peak of their powers.
There are no superlatives adequate to describe the Pulse concerts. Reduces me to a teary eyed wreck everytime I see and hear it. Pink Floyd are a British gift to the world. So proud of them. Also a great and unexpected live set was the Live 8 performance, the band had not played live together for 20 years, yet they delivered a set that soared accross the Londons night sky, it blew everyone away and there were some heavy hitters in that line up that day/night! Subsequently Dark side of the moon went back to number 1 in the album charts and a whole new generation got to see and hear progressive rock music at its absolute perfect best. Peace my friend I envy you starting out on your Pink Floyd journey✌️
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 1994... Me (62 years old now)..There...My wife had bought me tickets for Fathers Day that year. I have seen every major band you can name from Rolling Stones/Paul McCartney/Eric Clapton/Rammstein/Queen/AC/DC/ The Who/ Elton John etc and nothing compared to this experience. Thank you Pink Floyd for what you have given us over your career. The impact that your music has had on my life can not be put into words. July 1 1994 Setlist (still remember this and have the ticket stub): Astronomy Domine Learning to Fly What Do You Want From Me On the Turning Away Poles Apart Take It Back Sorrow Keep Talking One of These Days Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) Breathe Time Breathe (Reprise) High Hopes The Great Gig in the Sky Wish You Were Here Us and Them Money Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 Comfortably Numb Encore: Hey You Run Like Hell
Yes, I can imagine as I was at the show in San Antonio. What totally blew me away was of course, the light show, but also the ENORMITY of the stage. Look at how small the performers look compared to how high the lights in the arc go. Can you imagine the roadies who have to assemble and disassemble that monster two or three times a week?
I was there in 94, watching this live at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, that was amazing, best time of my life. After that, I've been to several Roger Water concert, featuring this song, all amazing time, but this performance was truly the best. Live 8 reunion is very close, same for live in Berlin, but both missing just a little something to top this one. I enjoyed your face reaction just as much as the song, epic... the face of a new floydian... welcome to the next level FTB... this is better than heroin, since each time you watch(and listen) you get the high again. 30 years floydian here, thousands of hours of listening, and I still get the same high, and this is valid for anything after(including) DSOTM and a lot before it, ECHOES(among others) is amazing. Thank you for this publication. Now do some homework, go try Animal, Wish you were here, The Final Cut, the rest of The Wall.... and so much more. WELCOME MY SON, WELCOME TO THE MACHINE!!!
Great review! Just subscribed to watch you go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Having been a fan for 50+ years, I know they're going to blow you away! Personally been to quite a few of their concerts and saw Pulse twice, in 2 different states. It was an experience, not just a concert and IMO nobody compares to these guys who are masters of their craft! Just fyi, any song from Pulse is great but you may want to check out Sorrow from same concert. Another great guitar solo!
Right as the second (longer) solo started, you said "can you imagine being there? I was at the 1994 Pulse show in Washington DC RFK Stadium and I will tell you, YES it was as amazing and magical and life altering just as you may imagine it was. I love watching people see/hear this for the first time and watching their faces. It's like watching someone become reborn!
I was there! Amazing experience, and amazing to see it today as one of those moments that still bring people together, in the journey for the discovery (or rediscovery) of great music!
You just witnessed the greatest band in the world. I was there myself 23 yrs old 1994. Still cant believe what I witnessed . It was a magical moment caught in time.
That ending guitar solo brings out every emotion in me. Pain, sadness and joy. I'll be honest, every time I hear it it brings tears to my eyes. That truly is the greatest guitar solo of all time.
i was there , twice, as folk left the arena nobody was talking , just mouths open , eyes agog , fucked .
Completely agree.
Yup..
I got to see this live in ‘94 and was one of the greatest moments of my life
The part when the glitter ball opens up is so weirdly powerful. Sounds like his guitar is crying out.
No if ands or buts, they are the greatest band ever.🔥🔥💯💯
The only Guitar Solo to make a 65 year old man CRY every time !!!!
The same, growing with them has been such an incredible gift
That guitar solo! Speaks to me in a way words can't. Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Thanks for the reaction bro!
hahaha, and when i re-read this imagining Blackadder saying it it was even better :-)
I was there and it was ……lost for words
Beautiful response!
@@garyloss2878 Thank you!
That's probably the best description of an indescribable sound!
" Imagine beeing there..." you say?! I was there !!! It was the money best spent in my intire life. It was stratospheric, it was magical, it was a mix of fellings, to explain Pink Floyd, it's to try to explain the universe !! They are legends.
i saw them in the 80s...this concert looks incredible
The second solo is considered by many to be the greatest guitar solo ever. When the disco ball comes down and opens up, in the middle is a diamond, a nod to Syd Barrett.
I can definitely agree so far this was the best solo I’ve heard on this rock journey. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I was at this performance
@@davidlittman7194 I saw it at Vanderbilt Football Stadium in Nashville
I was at Vanderbilt stadium as well. Fan of Floyd’s since 1973.
I was at the Birmingham, Alabama show. I was 14, but thankfully to a father with great musical taste, I’d been a fan since I can remember.
Pink Floyd was not ahead of their time. They created their own time and space. Pink Floyd helped my spirit and soul develop as a young girl in the 70s.

Roger Waters felt the same when he heard Sgt Peppers for the first time.
Without Sgt Peppers we would never have got Dark Side of the Moon.
But why did artists give up climbing the heights in favour of lesser things?
Punk was at its height when the Wall came out.
I have always referred to their music as "Blues from the 25th Century". Nobody else even comes close.
Wow, After watching this amazing video, I was wondering what could blow my mind further, and then, I see your poetic assessment of it, and I say, now that answers a lot of questions that none of us have been able to answer or even try to put into words!

Yep.
When i was a teenager and the song would come on the radio, I'd scream every single time! I cry every time I hear this solo. Pink Floyd is the ceiling, everyone else is the floor. No one comes close.
@@jacquelyndavis7296 Well said!
Amen. Pink Floyd is the standard. No one else meets the standard. Greatest of all time. Period.
I've been listening to them for 50yrs and you people will still be listening 50yrs from now, Run like He'll, Sorrow, learning to fly or anything from this concert, they are an experience love your reactions ❤️
You're right - I truly believe that Pink Floyd will still be listened to a hundred years from now. Not routinely for most, but they will be studied in music classes and held up as the premier example of prog rock, and the amazingly creative period of music that was the 60's - 80's, and there will still be those who light one up while drifting away on some PF. People still listen to Mozart - PF is my Mozart.
"Run Like HELL."
Learning To Fly has been my favorite song for over 40 years
I was raised on this music, and I can say I was truly blessed to have be born early enough to experience it.
Me too.
I'm 27 and this is one of the best concerts! My dad showed it to me years ago on DVD and I'll never forget it!
The greatest version of the greatest guitar solo. Moves me every time.
The note he hits at 10:57 is the most beautiful note ever played in a live performance imo.
Greatest guitar solo of ALL TIME.
This track gets me every time. I'm 64 now, and the tears still well up in my eyes as I'm transported into another world by the sheer soulfulness of the guitar solo. Thanks for your reaction, it sounds like another Floyd fan has been born.
Me too, and I am not 64 until next month😮
Just turned 64 and same for me
61 brother! Right there with you!! That live version beats ALL OTHERS!
I'm 64 as well...saw PF in 75 and 77 and Roger Waters solo a couple times too. When I get to heaven I'll book Yes, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and Pink Floyd for my first concert show.
I'm with you.
With a band like Pink Floyd that sounds this good live you can't go wrong a live performance. I've seen them live a few times and every time they sounded this good. Delicate Sound of Thunder is another great concert video that is well worth a listen.
I am truly blessed!!! I got to see them live in concert. TWICE!!!!!!
Love watching youngsters discover real music that we were appreciating 50 years ago.
Art like this is timeless and will be enjoyed for countless generations.
Think about it, in 500 years and in 1000 years, kids will be mind-blown by Pink Floyd.
I truly believe that, and 1000 years is not even a stretch.
The emotions and chills throughout my body on that last guitar solo are overwhelming!! Bravo!!
It truly doesn't get better than Pink Floyd. My day doesn't feel right if I don't listen to some Pink Floyd. I'm so glad you found them, it only gets better from here. Doesn't sound possible but you'll see. 🌈💗✌🏽
I listen to them daily. Keep waiting to get tired of them, but it hasn’t happened in 40+ years!
if you have ever heard the phase, "the skies lit up like a Pink Floyd concert." Then you know that person saw a hell of a light show.
Greatest Guitar solo. I was so lucky to be there. Athereal, Spiritual Godlike.
I was there too, stage left about three rows up, I was out with the fairies most of the concert but THIS...................wow.
The fact that Pink Floyd's album "Dark side of the moon " was in Australia's top 100 for 751 weeks speaks volumes for how outstanding they were... and still are.
Long live Pink Floyd..
Wow. I've been a fan for 40 years. That is an interesting factoid.
I was there :) The real highlight was the encore: They played the entire Dark Side Of The Moon with all the original screen footage in the 2nd half (special note goes to One of these days with double pigs and the plane crashing into the tower earlier in the concert)
I might also mention, for 2 days before the concerts (they sold out 4 nights there) there were 'warnings' of UFO's flying over London on Radio 1 (kudos to Simon Mayo) , and one the first night part of the seating scaffold collapsed on one side of the arena: David Gilmour personally went to the hospital to visit every fan who was injured.
I had forgotten that bit! Saw the Rotterdam gig, Earls Court had extra nights added, soome mates got tickets, but the van broke down, and they never got there!
To say that I'm jealous wouldn't even begin to describe how I feel. You are so lucky. I saw them in 1988 in Boston. Truly a life changing experience.
New Orleans version, life changing
Me too! Best concert of my life... it was my mum's first ever rock concert, ruiend for ever!! :)
One of the Greatest Rock Performances ever, possibly the GOAT Rock guitar solo too!
Certainly, with all the lasers, incredible light show, phenomenal musicianship and the level of production here, and everything else is off the charts!
It sounds Sooo good and it's 1994, no Autotune or computers or any crutch of any kind, they did it all right in front of you!
Just a note: There are only 3 actual members of Pink Floyd here onstage, in fact there were only 3 members of PF from 1985, (when Roger Waters quit the band) up until 2008 when Rick Wright died from Cancer.
It's easy to tell which ones they are, they're the 3 old guys, lol,... David Gilmour, (guitar), Rick Wright, (keyboards, and Nick Mason, (drums). The other musicians onstage are Pink Floyds' touring band for that time or that tour'.
Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1964, so this Pulse Concert is 30 years later, so PF guys are all in their late 40s and early 50s.
Check out "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse Concert, another great guitar solo from David Gilmour. There are so many from that Pulse Concert on RUclips and they're all unbelievably great, like "High Hopes", "Money", "Learning to Fly", and many more.
You said it right : Goosebumps … that is what I get every time I hear this guitarsolo , just out of this world !!
This is, by far, one of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard. So powerful and passionate.
My HS graduating class of '79 voted "Another Brick In The Wall" and "Comfortably Numb" as our favorites. I'm almost 62 now and nothing has changed. What an iconic rendition.
This sublime song with its unbeliviable guitar solo was the "encore" of their show. I was at the Chantilly Hippodrome on the north of Paris in 1994, and this music, this fabulous light-show, this terrific sound were not just a concert : it had been a miracle which today brings me the same emotion than 30 years before...
This is one of if not the best songs of all time. Every time I hear it it’s like the first time. Sheer amazement. It’s like I can feel it in my soul my entire body buzzing
What I love most about this video is the shots showing the crowd and they’re all just hypnotized lol
You just witnessed one of the greatest guitar solos ever !! I saw Pink Floyd around this time, and the concert was everything you could imagine. Awesome music, light show, and performance !! One of the best concerts I ever saw !!
Oh Pink Floyd is a soled 10/10 band…left me speechless on 3 different songs lol
It's amazing to watch a person listen to a band that has been your absolute favorite for over forty years! And no one over the years has been able to move them from this place!!! "Shine on you crazy diamond" - for me, an absolute explosion of the brain and the most favorite song.
One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. It does my old heart good to see a young man enjoying the music of my generation. Welcome aboard.
If you want to hear and see them at their peak of musicianship, you should watch the "Live at Pompeii" concert.
They recorded it in the 70s during the period they wrote Darkside of the Moon and Meddle.
Pink Floyd is amazing. Aren't they? My favorite band for 50 years now.
From the same PULSE CONCERT, check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL (for Run Like Hell, be sure to fasten your seat belt).
I was lucky enough to be at this and another 6 concerts of pink Floyd in the 80's 90's and 00's
The FIRST GIG I ever went to was Pink Floyd at Wembley Stadium.
I was lucky enough to win tickets for Live8 so saw the last performance when they reunited with Roger
So wonderful to relive here
Lucky ain’t the word lol
I was at this concert in Earl's Court, London. The gig was pulled just as the intro for SOYCD was building up for the opening of the show due to a seat collapse. Some injuries but no fatalities thank goodness.
We were told to keep our ticket stub and came back two weeks later and they blew us away. Mind you, I was caned off my head on weed as were my friends and it seemed the whole audience! Magical.
A moment in my life I'll remember forever
Been listening to Pink Floyd for 50 years and it never gets old or dull. I would recommend listening to the sorrow also from the pulse show.
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!
Best guitar solo ever played on this planet! For more Pink Floyd live at „Pulse“: I recommend „High Hopes“, „Keep Talking“ and „Shine on you crazy diamond“!
You are gilmoured and watered my friend. I know this band since app. 50 years and they changed my understanding of music. Greetings from Germany
This was a feast for the eyes as well as the ears ! Truly a wonderful performance and you can only imagine what it was like to be there on that historical night!
I saw this live, and have watched this dozens if not hundreds of times since, and I still get goosebumps. One of the longest guitar solos ever, and yet it still feels too short
Best concerts ever! I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd a couple of times, including this tour.
Lucky to be alive while Pink Floyd was touring.
Glad you found Floyd!!
This song is like a religious experience- in the last part of the guitar solo makes you feel like your raising up into the heavens!!! Amazing!! Great reaction!!
I was at The Division Bell Tour on May 29th 1994 when the were Columbus at the Horseshoe Stadium. It was absolutely perfect. Well worth it!!!
This is Pink Floyd, true legends for all music lovers.
And live an experience without competition. Some light, some lasers and just pure music and the love for it.
I've listened to that piece many many times since The Wall came out and it still gives me goose bumps!
I was there 28 years ago. Still haven't got over it..best night of my life
Saw this show 2x in 1994.
North Carolina & New Jersey.
Different songs each show, but both had Comfortably Numb.
Was an amazing experience that I still remember vividly today- 28 years later.
Great reaction. Thanks. I'm listening to Pink Floyd since I was 13. In all these 45 years I never managed to figure out to explain, what is happening to me. During and after the songs. I stopped working on that. I just accepted. Pink Floyd....goosebumbs everywhere, tears and the urgent wish, to make this world a better place....from up in the clouds, where I'm living during these songs. And I don't care, if this makes any sense
Thank you for absorbing their music! 👍✌️
You've got a like and sub from me dude! ✌️🤘
Please continue your Pink Floyd journey and respect the solos? Nice man 🤘👍
This is an epic masterpiece. Nobody can give the almost ethereal vibes that Pink Floyd does. Their music pulls you in and pervades all your senses. It’s almost like an altered level of consciousness. 😌🔥🤩
Been listening to Pink Floyd for 50 years now and it never, ever gets old.
Got to see 2 Pulse shows. One outdoors in the rain. Lasers were epic. Glad you all get to see this epic Pulse concert. Those of us who attended are reliving time thru your reactions. Its awesome.
Yes! I saw them live in the Tampa Arena in 1988 ot 89. I was tripp'in on Orange Sunshine and everyone passing copious amounts of joints. It is an experience that is one of the great wonders of the world 🌍 definitely an out of body experience yet your awestruck by the sights,sounds and the arena thundering beneath your feet.
One thing everyone who has heard this performance for the first time has in common is the need for a few minutes to recover when it is over! Nicely done, young man!
I was fortunate enough to see their final concert in 1994 at Three rivers stadium in Pittsburgh. I still get goosebumps and tears to this day every time I hear it. My favorite band forever!
I agree saw them twice Division Bell Tour 1994 the best concert ever!!!!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
I saw them in the seventies when they were touring this album. I will never forget it I was just a teenager in high-school. Mind blowing
I was right there in 94, I saw it all. My father had taken me with him. I was 12 years old and it was insane. It changed my life. And welcome to the Wordl of Pink Floyd
I was there!!. All those years ago, still blown away. Earls Court, London. Night certainly to remember. Thanks for bringing it back to life again. Love to hear your reaction, takes me right back.
i saw this tour in 94 in Mexico City... Since then i've seen countless of great bands and great shows in different parts of the world...But i've never seen a single one that reaches that level of perfection that Pulse tour did
I've been to only 1 pink floyd concert in 1977 and it was mind blowing! Actually mind blowing is an understatement! it just has to be experienced live is all I can say!
Now that, that right there is what is called MUSIC! I knew that you'd be able tp appreciate that & I'm so glad that you did. There's plenty more Pink Floyd for you to experience. Not a bad song anywhere. Pink Floyd was the best Concert I've ever been to, without exception.
Keep Smiling... Cheers...
Yes! It looks like Pink Floyd probably brought you here to a place close to your soul, where you are at the same time connected to the rest. It must be something like that, but I can't really describe it well. You say “imagine if you were there!”, I was there in 1989 in a huge park in the Netherlands. The stage was so immense, I couldn't recognize the artists, they were so far away, but you saw everything, the stage was as big as an apartment building, the lightshow, my god!, lasers etc. combined with the music … and there were speakers on the corners of the park, the sound came from everywhere… When that huge disco ball opened it was like the heavens opened or something, unforgettable, and then that guitar solo that I didn't want to end, and none of the audience, really fantastic that this music has survived all time, analysis is not at all necessary, it touches you and you experience it.
That day of that concert in 1989 was in the summer and it was a beautiful summer day and so we all stood outside, what a sound... around sunset Pink Floyd started with “Shine on you crazy diamond” that was really magical.
Great reaction thanks for sharing this awesome track, Pink Floyd is in a league of their own!!
I was there! Earls court! think this was a few days after all the seating collapsed at one of the shows
The greatest guitar solo in the history of Rock and maybe in history period.
"Can you imagine being there?" I was my friend and it was awesome! Earls Court October 1994!
You've got the really BEST COMMENTS I've ever heard about this song when you affirm that the first part of the bridge is quietly sad and then, the harmonies go up & we can feel and see the open window and the full Sun which is comin'in ! That cannot be said any better ! Congratulations for U and this is what I call The Ultimate Band of All Time !!!

I’ve seen some big bands, but this was by far the best concert I ever went to. The performance and sound was unbelievable. One of the best guitar solos ever done.
I was there. Amazing. Loved seeing your reaction... pretty much my reaction at the time. Saw them live first back in '73... this pulse tour in 1994 was one of the most precise, performances and productions I've ever seen. So happy for everyone who's seeing this for first time... it'll be just as good 30 years from now. 👍
R.E.S.P.E.C.T Sir.
It’s almost speechless in a way of there’s no words to describe how incredible they are. Have to react to all the songs on Dark Side of the Moon album and the Wish You Were Here album from them for sure!!
I was lucky enough to attend both of their shows in Dallas during this tour. Greatest weekend ever!
I worked at a stereo store years ago. I was 19-20 at the time...
Anyways I lent out my 2 CD set to a young part-timer. He came back with a reaction that would take me forever to text!!
We lost our only son that could play this and would her him play this in our basement and others.This song so reminds me of him and what we lost and brings me to tears .This song reminds me why he wanted to be numb .After serving in Iraq he was trying to numb himself from the pain and was self medicating and someone gave him pure fentanyl and basically murdered him .He was so talented at everything he did .A light that shined so bright it eventually goes out .We miss him so much it’s hard .Keep thinking he will walk through that front door again .Love your passion for music .
Glad you liked the show. Brings back memories of sitting backstage getting paid to watch the show. I was on the stage crew for Pulse setting up the stage.
I was there..well not there but at the Feyenoord Stadium Rotterdam (during their tour). Imagine yourself being there, with the glitter ball in the middle of the pitch illuminating the whole stadium. And....with quadrophonic sound. What a joy to witness. A fantastic experience. (Seen Pink Floyd multiple times and after that David Gilmour solo). There are some great cover bands, check them for perhaps some gigs over at your place.
The ability to control that scale of lighting equipment of that size to that degree is a real art and a real science
Saw these guys 2 nights in a row in Oakland on this tour. AWESOME. Dude just comes out in a simple tee shirt & I swear that almost every video I've ever seen him in....he's NOT flashy about it. The man leaves the 'stank-face' at home & you might catch a slight smile or something....but he lets the guitar do ALL the talkin'. He looks almost bored....LOL.
I could have been at that show (in Oakland) but didn't go, like an idiot.
Hi, yes it's the emotivness if their music. Imagine a vinyl version, a speaker each side of your head whilst lying on the floor. Fantastic🌟 you appear to get it.🇦🇺
Simply the best live concert of all time. IMO. Much respect and appreciation for your response.(does my heart good to hear someone reference "goose bumps", the one truly scientific indication of sincere response. 😎)
The whole stadium was part of the light show and the sound was pristine, like having studio headphones on. Killer
Purchased this concert through Apple Music, and it is loaded in my phone. Some of the best money I’ve spent. A wonderful, beautiful show by one of the greatest bands of all time at the peak of their powers.
There are no superlatives adequate to describe the Pulse concerts. Reduces me to a teary eyed wreck everytime I see and hear it. Pink Floyd are a British gift to the world. So proud of them. Also a great and unexpected live set was the Live 8 performance, the band had not played live together for 20 years, yet they delivered a set that soared accross the Londons night sky, it blew everyone away and there were some heavy hitters in that line up that day/night! Subsequently Dark side of the moon went back to number 1 in the album charts and a whole new generation got to see and hear progressive rock music at its absolute perfect best. Peace my friend I envy you starting out on your Pink Floyd journey✌️
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 1994... Me (62 years old now)..There...My wife had bought me tickets for Fathers Day that year. I have seen every major band you can name from Rolling Stones/Paul McCartney/Eric Clapton/Rammstein/Queen/AC/DC/ The Who/ Elton John etc and nothing compared to this experience. Thank you Pink Floyd for what you have given us over your career. The impact that your music has had on my life can not be put into words.

Yes, I can imagine as I was at the show in San Antonio. What totally blew me away was of course, the light show, but also the ENORMITY of the stage. Look at how small the performers look compared to how high the lights in the arc go. Can you imagine the roadies who have to assemble and disassemble that monster two or three times a week?
I saw this in 1994 in Atlanta - not only the best concert I've ever seen, but the best EVENT I've ever seen...
I was there in 94, watching this live at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, that was amazing, best time of my life. After that, I've been to several Roger Water concert, featuring this song, all amazing time, but this performance was truly the best. Live 8 reunion is very close, same for live in Berlin, but both missing just a little something to top this one.
I enjoyed your face reaction just as much as the song, epic... the face of a new floydian... welcome to the next level FTB... this is better than heroin, since each time you watch(and listen) you get the high again. 30 years floydian here, thousands of hours of listening, and I still get the same high, and this is valid for anything after(including) DSOTM and a lot before it, ECHOES(among others) is amazing. Thank you for this publication. Now do some homework, go try Animal, Wish you were here, The Final Cut, the rest of The Wall.... and so much more.
WELCOME MY SON, WELCOME TO THE MACHINE!!!
Great review! Just subscribed to watch you go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Having been a fan for 50+ years, I know they're going to blow you away! Personally been to quite a few of their concerts and saw Pulse twice, in 2 different states. It was an experience, not just a concert and IMO nobody compares to these guys who are masters of their craft! Just fyi, any song from Pulse is great but you may want to check out Sorrow from same concert. Another great guitar solo!
Right as the second (longer) solo started, you said "can you imagine being there? I was at the 1994 Pulse show in Washington DC RFK Stadium and I will tell you, YES it was as amazing and magical and life altering just as you may imagine it was. I love watching people see/hear this for the first time and watching their faces. It's like watching someone become reborn!
I was there!
Amazing experience, and amazing to see it today as one of those moments that still bring people together, in the journey for the discovery (or rediscovery) of great music!
I saw this tour back in 94 when i was 23. To this day i havent seen another show that couldn't touch this concert. Unbelievable show. Wow is right
I was blessed to be there with my then teenage children. Lifetime Pink Floyd fanatics now.
