David Gilmour is one of the few people I've ever heard who can sing through a guitar. Not mimicking words like a Steve Vai, but actually conveying emotions. He's a master at it, and I love absolutely everything about this performance.
The lyrics are just epic. "Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side ", just awesome. Polly Samson, David's wife, who wrote a lot of lyrics for the album, did an absolutely great job here
You should react to "Sorrow" from the same concert - amazing song - with typically epic guitar playing by DG, everyone on stage firing on all cylinders - you'll even see the second drummer get a real workout! Don't miss it!
Without who?? 😂😂 The egomaniac who thought that HE was Pink Floyd!! I think not!! This concert just shows how talented the others were, with some great musicians joining them, Guy Pratt on bass and Jon Carin on the other keyboards. Wow wish that I had seen this concert!!
Beatiful song, it makes me remember the days when i was on the streets hanging out with my friends. Sometimes makes me silently cry. I love my love, i love my kids, wife and everything around me, but i am not that little kid i was before and i miss him.
i have been listening to this band for 50 years now and people say how do they do this or how do they do that and my answer is they do everything because they are PINK FLOYD the music is fantastic there live shows are spectacular
I LOVE that you're going through these songs from the Pulse concert! Keep going! Also, "On the Turning Away," from the Delicate Sound of Thunder show is well worth it! Anyway, I'm with you for this journey!
High Hopes is all about the dreams, ambitions and hopes that we have when young and the way in which we fall short as our lives progress, as I have got older I appreciate this song even more and the sense of melancholy that surrounds it as our dreams are replaced by reality in life, I've heard several cover versions of the song and they all fall short as they tend to miss that sense of melancholy that is at the heart of the song and nobody can really better this live performance.
This version is just pure Magic. Maybe one of the best songs ever made. The haunting verses that breaks up in the bright chorus are great songwriting. The solos are epic.
I feel so blessed to have been living with the music of Pink Floyd filling my ears & my soul since 1973, when I first heard of them. So glad to see that you guys & this generation feel the same way about them as all us oldies do. Keep it up.
A tidbit, at a music store in Seattle back in the early 80's and David Gilmore comes in wanting to try a slide guitar. He plays it for a while and buys it on the spot. It's that same slide he plays in this song.
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 frogged 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… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. 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 met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know, and I know all the great ones.
I first saw this concert when I was 16, my friend had just travelled to London to see this show and this was broadcast on the BBC a few days later, we turned the lights off closed the curtains and just sank into it for the whole 2 and a half hours on his big screen TV it was so exciting! It changed my world musically! I'll never forget that moment for as long as I live. Many many more songs you could react to from this show! Pink Floyd were always be special and always will be in my mind.
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David and he gave us both a signed album. We chatted for 22 minutes while he signed others albums. 35 lucky people won tickets. It was AWESOME show.
The person seen from behind at the beginning, in the video on the circular screen, looks a lot like the legendary Syd, the hair is identical. Syd is mentioned in the song. We will never forget it. A genius who shone bright and fast.
Groups like Pink Floyd and Journey and others of those days always told a story, took you on a journey and often grabbed you by the guts and made you FEEL.
All I can say is listening and watching Pink Floyd is like going into a gallery sitting down and staring at a Leonardo da Vinci painting "Pure Genius".
From watching all of your reactions I would have to say Suzie is totally lost in Floyd, to her it's like everything stops when Floyd is playing, luv it !
Pink Floyd is the Greatest live performing band in recorded music history. They put more production into one song, than most bands will put into an entire concert. They're attention to detail and performance quality are un matched
Shout out to Bass player Guy Pratt, who has driven the beat for Pink Floyd/David Gilmore for decades since Waters left. He is always spot on and pushes the songs along so beautifully. Of course David is the spotlight, because he is a guitar god, but props to everyone else in this band who help make the Floyd sound so great.
I listened to this the day it was released more than 20 years ago. So glad you saw the genius that is Pink Floyd. Saw them live in 2016 at Verona. The greatest ever.
the division bell what he sings and someone taps is referring to the bell on a church which the song mentions and is more or less saying that it is the division bell that can divide us if you let yourself get hooked by religion
“Comfortably Numb” - “Sorrow” - “On The Turning Away” -“Money” - “Time”- “Another Brick In The Wall” - “Keep Talking” - “High Hopes” - “Great Gig In The Sky” - “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” - “Learning To Fly” - “Coming Back To Life” - “Dogs Of War” - “What Do You Want From Me” - "Run Like Hell" - “HEY YOU” - Pink Floyd- David Gilmour Guitar Solos I have seen performed Live in 4 concerts. “The Master Of The Stratocaster”
This song is so true that it brings a suffering that makes me broken. It almost brang me to the worst one day. But still I couldn't end it besides of suffering... Today I have 4 year young son and I cry in hide for the fate of man...
You're reaction is totally true, when this came out in the `94 I absolutely love this song and yes I remember too my teenage life with nostalgic!! David Gilmour is absolutely amazing to transmit his feelings through his guitar!!!
It looks like the Pompeii concert. Check out the Gdansk,Poland concert for this same song and you will hear the amazing acoustic guitar solo following the slide guitar performance. David Gilmour ... next level for sure. So calm and focused.
YOU'RE SO RIGHT - When David Gilmore starts to sing "The Gras Is Greener" it touches me in such a way that it almost brings tears to my eyes, because then I suddenly have to think of all the beautiful things I experienced and maked in my youth especially with my best friends🤯😉.
Cada vez que la escucho recuerdo mi infancia,solo en mi cuarto con los cds,escuchando esta canción a oscuras mirando por la ventana escuchando la campana increíble
My favorite song of all time simply the greatest heard it when I was 7 years old now i'm 35 brings me back to that time can't even explain what it means just the best ever
Having seen this performance I am watching this waiting for your reactions when David sits down at his Pedal Steel Guitar and produces a magical sound like nobody else ever did...wait for it, wait for it, wait for it......
Gilmour said he write this song in one night after his wife said the line “steps taken forward, but sleepwalking back again”. He recorded a demo of all the parts for the rest of the band and it was added to the album at the last minute. The Division Bell is the bell rung at Parliament when it is time for politicians to cast their vote.
This sounds like a sad song about David's days in the university town of Cambridge. There's mention of the Long Road and the cut. 2 references to a road and a river footpath in Cambridge. It's so beautiful.
Just a friendly reminder -> "Pausing a David Gilmour solo is considered a sacrilegious thing to do " 😘
Exactly my thoughts!
AMEN!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
They did the same thing during the breakdown on Domination by Pantera
Without a shadow of a doubt sacrilegious 😊
Pausing during David's solo is like pulling the plug on someone's respirator for 10 seconds just as a joke.
That pause during the solo was like a stab in the chest.
David Gilmour is one of the few people I've ever heard who can sing through a guitar. Not mimicking words like a Steve Vai, but actually conveying emotions. He's a master at it, and I love absolutely everything about this performance.
one of the few guitarists who can thrill with playing just two notes!
Yes he is, I would also add Mark Knopfler and Mike Oldfield too, such feeling and emotion in their guitar playing.
This band is on the same level like Mozart! You never get bored out of this music! It is music for eternity!
I thought about that you know. The soundtrack to heaven.
The lyrics are just epic. "Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side ", just awesome. Polly Samson, David's wife, who wrote a lot of lyrics for the album, did an absolutely great job here
11:21 she looked soo pissed when you interrupted the solo ahaha
I have 50 yo , i love many bands and many artist , but for me Pink Floyd is the best band of all times . 😎👍✨🥁🎶🎸
High hopes - masterpiece
You should react to "Sorrow" from the same concert - amazing song - with typically epic guitar playing by DG, everyone on stage firing on all cylinders - you'll even see the second drummer get a real workout! Don't miss it!
Sorrow is Epic! David's other Tour De Force!
i was there oct 28 94 in earls court londonthe best show ive ever seen!
I really enjoy seeing all the young people still enjoying the music! Seems like so long ago now that I worked for Pink Floyd setting up the stage.
This is such a great song Even without Roger Waters. The Division Bell is a really good album.
David Gilmour's wife Polly wrote this song with David.
Without who?? 😂😂 The egomaniac who thought that HE was Pink Floyd!! I think not!! This concert just shows how talented the others were, with some great musicians joining them, Guy Pratt on bass and Jon Carin on the other keyboards. Wow wish that I had seen this concert!!
David Gilmour is The Guitar god, whether it's an electric, slide, or acoustic guitar, no one can play like Gilmour, with such emotion
Don't tell Roger, but he's pretty good on the bass too. ;)
@@zoeherriot Considering he played a lot of bass on studio albums, that's not surprising.
Try Andrew Latimer (Camel) especially live on the song Ice.
@@swinetrek yes. Including pink Floyd albums.
Beatiful song, it makes me remember the days when i was on the streets hanging out with my friends. Sometimes makes me silently cry. I love my love, i love my kids, wife and everything around me, but i am not that little kid i was before and i miss him.
"...Forever and ever"
i think we all miss being that little kid again. im literally crying right now for the things that are gone
Ditto.
Pink floyd = perfection
A monstrous amount of musical layers and sounds, all done live. Nobody like them, nobody. Incredible beauty.
Please do more from this concert, like all of them 😎👍👍
Gilmour is a genius. Omg, he can do so many things amazing. Let us not forget that he wrote a lot of this stuff.
i have been listening to this band for 50 years now and people say how do they do this or how do they do that and my answer is they do everything because they are PINK FLOYD the music is fantastic there live shows are spectacular
Had the chance to see them on this tour. Unbelievable! Watch the closer…Run Like Hell!
yes!!!
High Hopes, my favorite song of Pink Floyd
I LOVE that you're going through these songs from the Pulse concert! Keep going! Also, "On the Turning Away," from the Delicate Sound of Thunder show is well worth it! Anyway, I'm with you for this journey!
Just watch the whole concert, it'll blow your minds from start to finish. There has never been anything quite like it.
Pink Floyd and Nightwish, best symphonic bands ever, and both with epic High Hopes.
I would throw the Moody Blues in there also.
Ladies and germs, one of the best songs ever written! ❤️
Rip to Richard Wright on the keyboards…..he was amazing
this is probably my favorite song by them, others come close but this just gets it for me. hell the entire album hits me in the feels
Echoes
This is my favourite live performance of any Pink Floyd song and it is one my favourite songs by them, but my favourite of all has to be Time.
High Hopes is all about the dreams, ambitions and hopes that we have when young and the way in which we fall short as our lives progress, as I have got older I appreciate this song even more and the sense of melancholy that surrounds it as our dreams are replaced by reality in life, I've heard several cover versions of the song and they all fall short as they tend to miss that sense of melancholy that is at the heart of the song and nobody can really better this live performance.
This version is just pure Magic. Maybe one of the best songs ever made. The haunting verses that breaks up in the bright chorus are great songwriting. The solos are epic.
I love Pink Floyd! All of their songs take you to a place that makes you feel amazing.
I feel so blessed to have been living with the music of Pink Floyd filling my ears & my soul since 1973, when I first heard of them.
So glad to see that you guys & this generation feel the same way about them as all us oldies do. Keep it up.
I also first heard them in '73 when DSOTM came out😊👍
Need to check out 'sorrow' from the pulse set. The whole concert is amazing.
SORROW was a huge tune!!!
A tidbit, at a music store in Seattle back in the early 80's and David Gilmore comes in wanting to try a slide guitar. He plays it for a while and buys it on the spot. It's that same slide he plays in this song.
Dave Mustaine said that Gilmour could do more with one note than most guitarists could do with an entire fretboard
There are bands and then there is PINK FLOYD.
My best PF track...lyric wise
They will always be the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life. I hope I finally get to see them live in the after life gig of eternity.
This is definitely the most poetic of all the Pink Floyd songs. The lyrics are just awesome.
This performance was perfect
My favorite band of all time... Thanks for doing this reaction guys!!

I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. 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.
Brilliant song especially the electric guitar at the end.

I love that you two musicians so appreciate the Floyd. Love ya all
Your guys' smiles were the same as mine when I first listened to this song. U guys are dope!!
This song is a complete masterpiece.
I worked for them in 1994. Division Bell Tour. He had 55 trucks! 600 people to build the stage for one day show !
The person seen from behind at the beginning, in the video on the circular screen, looks a lot like the legendary Syd, the hair is identical. Syd is mentioned in the song. We will never forget it. A genius who shone bright and fast.
Class, Style,and Quality is Pink Floyd. Period.
Groups like Pink Floyd and Journey and others of those days always told a story, took you on a journey and often grabbed you by the guts and made you FEEL.
Pink floys songs and visuals take us to another dimension...this song visuals bring us back to childhood memories....david gilmour is a legend❤️🔥
All I can say is listening and watching Pink Floyd is like going into a gallery sitting down and staring at a Leonardo da Vinci painting "Pure Genius".
From watching all of your reactions I would have to say Suzie is totally lost in Floyd, to her it's like everything stops when Floyd is playing, luv it !

Of course David is the spotlight, because he is a guitar god, but props to everyone else in this band who help make the Floyd sound so great.
FYI this is one of the best songs you're ever going to hear ❣️
Modal mixing (Minor key verse to Major key chorus) is what hit you like a brick.
Pure emotions, fell, heart and music !!! Nothing more ...
I listened to this the day it was released more than 20 years ago. So glad you saw the genius that is Pink Floyd. Saw them live in 2016 at Verona. The greatest ever.
Pink Floyd - Monsters of Sound - every Concert... I have seen PF in some Concerts ... my brain was re-configured for ever...
The British are song writers and poets. No beats us when it comes to music.
Pink. Floyd. Are. The. Best. 👍👍👍👍
the division bell what he sings and someone taps is referring to the bell on a church which the song mentions and is more or less saying that it is the division bell that can divide us if you let yourself get hooked by religion
Wat.
As much as I love you guys, you've just transgressed the unwritten law, never interrupt a Dave Gilmore solo [or any solo for that matter].
“Comfortably Numb” - “Sorrow” - “On The Turning Away” -“Money” - “Time”- “Another Brick In The Wall” - “Keep Talking” - “High Hopes” - “Great Gig In The Sky” - “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” - “Learning To Fly” - “Coming Back To Life” - “Dogs Of War” - “What Do You Want From Me” - "Run Like Hell" - “HEY YOU” - Pink Floyd- David Gilmour Guitar Solos I have seen performed Live in 4 concerts. “The Master Of The Stratocaster”
Pink floyd , genios
This song is so true that it brings a suffering that makes me broken. It almost brang me to the worst one day. But still I couldn't end it besides of suffering... Today I have 4 year young son and I cry in hide for the fate of man...
An awesome tune this was ....... i also recommend "One Of These Days" from the same Pulse concert ...... it freakin rocks !!!
That is one of the great, overlooked performances of this concert.
I love pink Floyd. Magical ❤️
You're reaction is totally true, when this came out in the `94 I absolutely love this song and yes I remember too my teenage life with nostalgic!! David Gilmour is absolutely amazing to transmit his feelings through his guitar!!!
Run Like Hell-from this is epic. Not kidding. Well , this whole show is an amazing experience.
It looks like the Pompeii concert. Check out the Gdansk,Poland concert for this same song and you will hear the amazing acoustic guitar solo following the slide guitar performance. David Gilmour ... next level for sure. So calm and focused.
As already said...Sorrow from same concert will blow your mind
YOU'RE SO RIGHT - When David Gilmore starts to sing "The Gras Is Greener" it touches me in such a way that it almost brings tears to my eyes, because then I suddenly have to think of all the beautiful things I experienced and maked in my youth especially with my best friends🤯😉.
Cada vez que la escucho recuerdo mi infancia,solo en mi cuarto con los cds,escuchando esta canción a oscuras mirando por la ventana escuchando la campana increíble
LET THERE BE ROCK, LIVE AT THE RIVER PLATE!!!
As others have said before me, “You don’t just listen to Pink Floyd…you EXPERIENCE Pink Floyd.”
The lap steel. So good. Many British guitarists were influenced by American blues.
Floyd spoke for a generation and then every generation after
The best track with Pink Floyd....My opinion
🇸🇪
One of the best guitar solo of all time!
That solo at the end is so awesome. It feels like David with the acoustic on his back is riding off into the sunset.
It was a Bee in your ear! That's what it sounded like at the Concert...
My favorite song of all time simply the greatest heard it when I was 7 years old now i'm 35 brings me back to that time can't even explain what it means just the best ever
The greatness is in the sublteties. You hear more every time you listen.
Having seen this performance I am watching this waiting for your reactions when David sits down at his Pedal Steel Guitar and produces a magical sound like nobody else ever did...wait for it, wait for it, wait for it......
THAT WAS DAMN GREAT....THE HORROR OF MY CHILDHOOD F OR I WAS BROKEN BY EPILEPSY......THE BELLS WERE RINGING!!!
Love your reactions to Floyd! Oh and woman you are absolutely stunning! Have fun with ur Floyd journey
Nick Mason so damn cool he just shows up to one of the greatest shows in history wearing dockers and a button down...
Gilmour said he write this song in one night after his wife said the line “steps taken forward, but sleepwalking back again”. He recorded a demo of all the parts for the rest of the band and it was added to the album at the last minute.
The Division Bell is the bell rung at Parliament when it is time for politicians to cast their vote.
I love this song!!!!
This sounds like a sad song about David's days in the university town of Cambridge. There's mention of the Long Road and the cut. 2 references to a road and a river footpath in Cambridge. It's so beautiful.
This song is a favorite since I was 13. The lyrics are timeless.
You'd love the solo in .. On the turning away live from the delicate sound of thunder concert !!! :P
The division bell is my favorite album, really an underrated album.
Fantastic song, one of my favorites from them.....great to see that your both recognized the creative value of this track right away! Cheers all!
Floyd was the first band to pull the steel guitar out of just the country scene and use it in rock.
