"the child is grown and the dream is gone" "I have become comfortably numb" I was a teenager when this song came out, and I have personally never had a lyric stick with me as profoundly as these words have. I was a troubled kid and Pink Floyd gave me hope and a sense of not being alone...their music saved me from suffering more than I might have.
I''m old, 73, saw Hendrix '68, Zep '69, '70, '72, Stones, Band, CSN, was at Woodstock '69, ...and so on. Beatles fan since day one (greatest influence in music since, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach). My favorite all-time lyric is that lyric, encapsulates LIFE in one sentence...only it's the whole measure, "when I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye, I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone". No "and". Perfect. We've all had that moment in our lives where we thought we understood...everything. But, (unfortunately) reality takes over and our understanding is bombarded daily with what, IS...real day to day, life.
At 4:54, when keyboardist Richard Wright glanced to his right, into the camera, with a smirk, letting us know that HE knew he was part of one of the most iconic live tracks in music history. So cool.
Roger Waters was not in the band anymore by the time of that concert. That is keyboardist and founding member Richard Wright who has sadly passed away!
It really does my old heart good to see a young lady enjoying my generations music. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.
That's a great interpretation of this song: "the absence of pain is not happiness". At last someone gets it (and I have seen lots of reactions to this song)!!
Thank You For Taking Note Of That Guillermo 🤍 I Hope Others Don’t Let That Go Over Their Heads . Thank You For Taking The Time Out Of Your Day To Watch My Reaction , I Appreciate It .
👏👏 Roger Waters was the original bass player who doesn't perform in this concert.He wrote the lyrics to this song.It's about how he felt on stage after being given a sedative for a bad stomach ache.When on stage his hands were numb and his vision was blurred but he continued on with the show.This reminded him of the feeling he had as a kid with a fever.
Imo, its also 1 of the few songs i prefer Roger doing vocals. I think he captures the overall tone better from The Wall, but David is always 1st in my heart on anything else. The way he caresses n finesses the strings-- he just sings thru his guitar. Learning to Fly and Sorrow are also 2 good ones ta listen to
it was an absolute pleasure to see you react to this. it seemed to really move and touch you. I know that over the last 30+ years since it came out, i get emotional and tear up EVERY time I hear it. Good music should do that right? Well Pink Floyd 's Comfortably Numb does it for most of us. A masterpiece.
I’m late to this party, but I noticed that no one mentioned the best way to listen to Pink Floyd, especially “The Dark Side of the Moon.” You need to have headphones on, laying in a room lit by candles (a basement rec room is better), laying down (a bean bag chair was my choice the first time), with your friends and all of you in an indica state of relaxation. That’s how I heard it the first time in high school when the week it was released and it was an experience I obviously have never forgotten. Floyd is a trip through your mind’s and emotion’s inner corridors which you probably don’t realize exist. Their music was a point of excitement and eager anticipation of what it would be like as an adult to journey through life. Listening to them now after having put most of my life’s journey behind me is a different experience. Now their words are haunting and illicit melancholy from the difference between youthful imagination of what life would be like and how it actually played out.
You’re Not Late , The Party Is Just Getting Started 🤍✨ This Is Great Feedback , Definitely Listening To Pink Floyd Like This Moving Forward . I Appreciate You Taking The Time Out To Leave A Comment .
First of all, thank you very much for not interrupting the solos. If you want the whole Pink Floyd experience, just pick up your headphones, darkened your room and hear their album ‚Dark Side Of The Moon‘, with your eyes closed. I promise you’ll never forget and regret.
You said you felt relaxed by this and you could listen to it lying down. I find the best way to hear Pink Floyd is lying down in a dimly lit room with no distractions. I agree with a comment made that "The absence of pain is not happiness." is the perfect interpretation of this song.
In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band. “ That was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.” Roger Waters
Wow 🤯 The Fact That He Didn’t Let Any Of That Get In The Way Of His Performance Is Mind Blowing !! Bc I Couldn’t Tell Lol . Thank You For Sharing This w Us Ted .
5 mins of a Living Guitar God taking Billions of people on a journey like no other. One thing you never do when watching a Pink Floyd Pulse concert performance, never take your eyes off the show. The lights are Highly choreographed with the music to maximize and amplify the emotion in the music. You should react to Sorrow and Keep Talking. They will amaze you as much as this song
Hey there Mia, Pink Floyd are one of The Top Bands of all time, in my books! Understand-ably, many, many Musicians have been inspired by Pink Floyd. To me it's David Gilmore's deliverance with his guitar solo/s that are so moving especially in this song, TY for making this reaction video, Pink Floyd is an Awesome Band. 🎼🎙🎶🎤🎸🎺🥁
Thanks for the reaction, I hope to see you listening to more Pink Floyd. If you do please use both earbuds. Unlike a lot of more modern music, Pink Floyd make great use of stereo effects in their album recordings, so you'd litterally be missing part of their amazing sound if listening with one ear.
This is why I have listened to this song at least once a day since it came out in 79. Got to see them on 2 different tours. Since you were expecting something more funky, try Run Like Hell from Pulse. It followed comfortably numb as the final encore.
Pink Floyd is just the sweetest child hood memory for me. I've been a lil one in the early 80s,and my parents just played their albums up and down all day long. So I was impregnated with that class of music from my earliest days on. So when the 90s came around, with all of their - let's just be real - just bad copies 9f what has been there before, all the other teens were like "hey, take a listen to limp bizkit! That's great shit!" But I was like "you fools have no idea about great shit!!!"
if u just wanna chill, pink floyd is THE band to listen to. theres a reason they are regarded as one of the best of all time. amazing vocals, guitar, and lyrics always mean something. david gilmour, the singer is known for maybe the greatest guitarist ever. not for tricks, but for making his guitar sing like no other. 😀
I’m Happy You Left This Feedback Chris . You’re So Right ! & I’ve Heard The Most Brilliant Things About David Gilmour !! I Can’t Wait To Reaction To More Of Their Music In The Future .
Now that you've listened to this, fast forward to the end, imagine you're 98 years old and then review the album version of "The Great Gig In The Sky" It's a tough song, but the next logical step from Comfortably Numb. But, instead, you might consider "The Gunner's Dream" from 'The Final Cut'.
Thank you for respecting the greatest guitar solo and show You could possibly see.There is so much more to this concert than that song all are special in their on right. It sold 7 times platinum. The final tour for Pink Floyd.😢
There is a very clever Pink Floyd fan out there who says you don’t listen to Floyd you experience Floyd, and with such a large audience absolutely spellbound he is absolutely right.
One of the most emotive musical pieces of the modern era, do yourself a favour and lay on the floor, in the dark and play the full concert, you will be transported to an ethereal plain.
They have a huge catalog. This song is from the Wall album, which one needs to listen to the album to understand the songs, as it is a concept album, great reaction.
Yeah I’m Definitely Gonna Check Out The Album Bc I Do Want To Gain A Clear Understanding . Not For A Reaction Bt On My Personal Time . I Appreciate This Feedback .
@@DoIttMiaaaa The Wall Live in Berlin Concert, 91 I think is a really good way to experience it. Even though it is sang by all different legendary artists, it's a phenomenal Concert with the ultimate visuals.
Definitely check out "Money" (audio only version) from the album - The Dark Side of the Moon 😉 For anyone "new" it's the best introduction to Pink Floyd 😊 After that, if you want to dive a little deeper, "Time" and if you want to be completely knocked off your feet, go straight into the next track on the album which is "The Great Gig in the Sky" Trust me, these 3 will blow your mind 😉.... And might even make you stop and contemplate your entire life!!!
I Wish I Would’ve Seen This First !! Great Suggestions , Will Do . I Appreciate The Tip Too . Helps Me Gain A Better Understanding Of The Band/Bands I’ll Be Reacting To . I Appreciate Your Feedback & Continued Support .
If it’s possible to get a contact high from memories of being privileged enough to experience these extraordinary artists live many times. Those lasers looked like ocean waves to me and I indeed was in a state of bliss for the entire show. The positive vibe with all those beautiful souls in one place focused on the same beauty. That’s what humanity needs more of, we are one with each other and our creator! Sigh I so long for those days, I pray we can abolish the evil in this world and get back to living like we are not just another brick in the wall. After all we are just lost souls swimming in a fish bowl! Wink
Amazing band, one of my fav songs of theirs. The Wall and Dark Side of The Moon are both iconic albums This one is from The Wall which is also a movie that I recommend as well. Great reaction! Thanks 😊
The song in itself is a warning to young people related to heroin use how they can become comfortably numb as time and life passes them by. It was one of the band members addiction to heroin that left him to sick to perform where the other members had to get him something before he could perform this is in the song.
i have the concert DVD of the PULSE concert AND pink Floyd WERE FAMOUS for their Light SHOW'S AND DAVID Gilmore's guitar solo is considered to be the best one EVER
Its a key song on a double album called The Wall ...The songs are all integrated in a story about isolation and the struggle to make contact in the world, Themain character is called Pink, a disturbed rock star ,,
Pink Floyd is Legendary, they are a Vibe! The band formed in London in 1964, they have sold over 400 million albums worldwide. More than any other Rock Band in history,.. except for only The Beatles! You should check their studio version of "Comfortably Numb" on their 1979 The Wall album, it's a beautiful arrangement with a string orchestra. I think you'd love it.
Wow , Thank You For This Backstory On The Band . I Had No Clue Of Any Of This . Such Brilliant Accomplishment 🤍✨ & I’ll Definitely Take You Up On That Suggestion , Thank You !!
The list I've seen doesn't say that it puts them at 5. It goes The Beatles, Eagles, Queen, Led Zep, Pink Floyd. Maybe different lists around. An different ways of calculating it all.
This song is about a performer getting a stimulant shot (potentially Heroin) before having to go onstage. Listen to the lyrics with that in mind and it makes even more sense ❤
saw 5 times. 1 of 14 sold out days in a row. last concert of The Floyd.( except "live aide" reunion). 200,000 watts of power 200 ton stage, 128 wireless speakers. outdoor needed FAA clearance. ANY song on this concert is a must. Best non band video ever Pink Floyd " on the turning away" ( 1989-07-15) FM by thinkfloyd61 . 7 million views. relevant even today. Disco Ball is an FU to music critics who said Floyd would not make it cause they don't play 4 minute dance songs.
No Way ?! Wow , That’s Spectacular !! Jc Coming Through w The FACTS 👏🏽🤍 I Love It !! & Thank You For Taking The Time Out To Leave This Comment . I Can’t Wait To Check Out All Their Other Songs !!
Most concerts are loud - too loud. This one was louder and so so so so clear. It was a phenomenal experience all around. I'm so glad they captured it for so many others to experience it.
Ani Difranco and Dar Williams do a cover to this song that does it justice. It's just as beautiful in its own way. I don't give that praise lightly, as Pink Floyd is one of my top 5 all time favorite bands
Welcome to the GREATEST TWO GUITAR SOLOS IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK! The brilliance of David Gilmour is unmatched! This song is from their rock opera The Wall which is kinda a throwback to the descent into drugs and madness of the original lead singer Syd Barrett. At this point in the album Pink has gone catatonic and the vultures who make money when he sings shoot him up to get him on stage to perform. So he’s become Comfortably Numb. After this he really goes dark. Go watch the movie with the great Bob Geldorf as Pink. It’s a psychedelic trip.
I have 2 favourite songs of all time especially Live. This song and Telegraph Road Live Alchemy Tour 1983 by Dire Straits. Both equal in epicness. T.R. has so many peaks and troughs and an epic finale. My 2 fav. band's of all time and my 2 fav. Guitarists ever in Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. Cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸
If you want to hear the fantastic lady backup singers of Pink floyd watch Great Gig in the Sky in Venice Italy 1996. Truely incredible. Hope you like it.💖
The following Pink Floyd albums are Concept Albums (all songs together tell a complete story)... Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979). The Final Cut (1983) is ify, as it was the last album with Roger Waters being in the band - leaving in 1985. *search on Wiki the album title to get the story behind the concept.

PF had 15 studio albums... 3 live albums, 9 compilation albums not to mention multiple live dvds and solo albums performed by below members of the band. * for the "live" shows they have more musicians. Syd Barrett (short-lived founder; guitar plus) the originator and quirky eccentric; inevitably the consequential muse. * January 6, 1946 (rip 2006) Roger Waters (bass) was the cultivator (seed sower), the lyrically conceptual prodigy, secondary vocal and co-maestro of songwriting * September 6, 1943 (age 79 years) David Gilmour (guitar) was the placidity, guitar virtuoso, the silky smooth voice and co-maestro; the equilibrium. * March 6, 1946 (age 76 years) Richard Wright (keyboards) was the essential underlying symmetry; musical nurturer. Occasional singer. * July 28, 1943 (rip 2008) Nick Mason (drums) was the heartbeat, structure and foundation; the sole member involved from the emergence of PF to the last recording. * January 27, 1944 (age 78 years) ** "Pulse" dvd concert (1994) = ua-cam.com/video/HriYRoxWo1I/v-deo.html (click link's main description for "set-list")
If you haven't already, here's a suggestion from another Pink Floyd concert: Here is the title: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019 - UA-cam
Invest in a good set of headphones (an ear bud doesn't cut it) and listen to the whole Wall album; start to finish--it's a rock opera. Once you understand the context of Comfortably Numb, it will make more sense to you.
If you've ever done LSD, then this song was about an acid trip, though Roger Waters says it's based on getting shot up with horse tranquilizers before a show do to a severe stomach ache.
This is the one band that I would choose to listen to for the rest of my life if I had to choose one band... Now I understand what I've just said holds no merit because I am a nobody I get that.... But I'm a nobody that has a great taste in music...
Mia, I just watched your review of RUSH Tom Sawyer, you mentioned you like all the sound etc. So I see this is your only Pink Floyd reaction. Like mentioned below one of the best ever. So I would like to suggest you revisit Pink Floyd again, BUT BUT BUT PLEASE start with STUDIO versions first. With Floyd you need the studio cuts to get ALL the originally intended music. To prove this to yourself, take a minute to listen to Comfortably Numb, the studio version to experience the difference and then I think you will have found another band to do a deep dive on like Rush.
First of all I love a woman who knows how to make herself look elegant and not a hussy LOL your hair is rocking! And thanks for reacting to one of the greatest rock guitar leads of all time. Don't forget all of Led Zeppelin maybe some Lara Fabian and David Phelps until next time stay well and stay smooth
Awe David 🤍 This Comment Is Rocking !! Thank You , I Appreciate The Feedback . Also I Will Check Out These Suggestions . I Appreciate Your Continued Support !!

The second solo of this song is likely the most emotional I've ever heard.
By Far The Most Emotional I’ve Ever Heard Also 🤍
The second solo of this song is likely the most emotional ever played.
David Gilmour does not simply play the guitar. He tells a story with it.
I never get tired of watching and listening to that performance.
You Have Great Taste In Music Lol 🤍
The best composition ever created.
"the child is grown and the dream is gone"
"I have become comfortably numb"
I was a teenager when this song came out, and I have personally never had a lyric stick with me as profoundly as these words have.
I was a troubled kid and Pink Floyd gave me hope and a sense of not being alone...their music saved me from suffering more than I might have.
Such a Great Line
Such a complexity in a simple sentence
I''m old, 73, saw Hendrix '68, Zep '69, '70, '72, Stones, Band, CSN, was at Woodstock '69, ...and so on. Beatles fan since day one (greatest influence in music since, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach).

Thank You Martin For This Feedback , You Make Me Nt Feel So Crazy For What I Said . This Band Is Brilliant 🤍
One of the most beautiful guitar solo's ever. People say it's not the greatest technical solo's but who cares. Gilmour makes that guitar scream!
In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves.

Hey there Mia,
Pink Floyd are one of The Top Bands of all time, in my books!

TY for making this reaction video, Pink Floyd is an Awesome Band.

Wow , I Love That . I Can See Why !! & I Do Appreciate This Feedback , I’m Happy To Have Been Introduced To Such An Amazing Band To React To 🤍✨
Considered the finest live solo guitar performance. Their music is best understood through the entire album.

Great Tip , I’ll Definitely Keep This In Mind For My Nxt Pink Floyd Reaction 🤍
For more Pink Floyd: „High Hopes“, „Shine on you crazy diamond“ und „keep talking“ - all live from the same Pulse concert!
Lighting Guy: "So what's the budget?"
Floyd: "Yes!"
I Absolutely Love It 😂🤍
This is why I have listened to this song at least once a day since it came out in 79. Got to see them on 2 different tours. Since you were expecting something more funky, try Run Like Hell from Pulse. It followed comfortably numb as the final encore.

Trust me, these 3 will blow your mind 😉.... And might even make you stop and contemplate your entire life!!!
I Wish I Would’ve Seen This First !! Great Suggestions , Will Do . I Appreciate The Tip Too . Helps Me Gain A Better Understanding Of The Band/Bands I’ll Be Reacting To .
I Appreciate Your Feedback & Continued Support .
Check out RUN LIKE HELL from the same Pulse Concert. Fasten your seat belt.
OMG !! I’m Ready , This Has To Be Good 🤍
Thank You For The Suggestion .
Pink Floyd is in my top 5 of the best bands, thanks for your reaction ✨
No Wonder Why !! They Are Brilliant 🤍
Thank You For Taking The Time Out To Leave A Comment . I Appreciate The Support !!
What “top 5”???
Name ONE band that does what these boys do!!😳
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
(There’s only ONE David Gilmour😉)
If it’s possible to get a contact high from memories of being privileged enough to experience these extraordinary artists live many times. Those lasers looked like ocean waves to me and I indeed was in a state of bliss for the entire show. The positive vibe with all those beautiful souls in one place focused on the same beauty. That’s what humanity needs more of, we are one with each other and our creator! Sigh I so long for those days, I pray we can abolish the evil in this world and get back to living like we are not just another brick in the wall. After all we are just lost souls swimming in a fish bowl! Wink
Amazing band, one of my fav songs of theirs. The Wall and Dark Side of The Moon are both iconic albums This one is from The Wall which is also a movie that I recommend as well. Great reaction! Thanks 😊
The song in itself is a warning to young people related to heroin use how they can become comfortably numb as time and life passes them by. It was one of the band members addiction to heroin that left him to sick to perform where the other members had to get him something before he could perform this is in the song.
i have the concert DVD of the PULSE concert AND pink Floyd WERE FAMOUS for their Light SHOW'S AND DAVID Gilmore's guitar solo is considered to be the best one EVER
Its a key song on a double album called The Wall ...The songs are all integrated in a story about isolation and the struggle to make contact in the world, Themain character is called Pink, a disturbed rock star ,,
First rule with Pink Floyd is Listen, then listen more, eyes shut. The most engaging, involving music of the 20th century, imho ❤️
That’s Exactly How I Will Listen Moving Forward 🤍
Pink Floyd is Legendary, they are a Vibe! The band formed in London in 1964, they have sold over 400 million albums worldwide. More than any other Rock Band in history,.. except for only The Beatles!
You should check their studio version of "Comfortably Numb" on their 1979 The Wall album, it's a beautiful arrangement with a string orchestra. I think you'd love it.
Wow , Thank You For This Backstory On The Band . I Had No Clue Of Any Of This . Such Brilliant Accomplishment 🤍✨
& I’ll Definitely Take You Up On That Suggestion , Thank You !!
The list I've seen doesn't say that it puts them at 5. It goes The Beatles, Eagles, Queen, Led Zep, Pink Floyd. Maybe different lists around. An different ways of calculating it all.
check out the album version of Time by Pink Floyd. I would recommend doing the album versions of their songs first ✌️
Great Recommendation , I Appreciate This Feedback Mike .
This song is about a performer getting a stimulant shot (potentially Heroin) before having to go onstage. Listen to the lyrics with that in mind and it makes even more sense ❤
saw 5 times. 1 of 14 sold out days in a row. last concert of The Floyd.( except "live aide" reunion). 200,000 watts of power 200 ton stage, 128 wireless speakers. outdoor needed FAA clearance. ANY song on this concert is a must. Best non band video ever Pink Floyd " on the turning away" ( 1989-07-15) FM by thinkfloyd61 . 7 million views. relevant even today. Disco Ball is an FU to music critics who said Floyd would not make it cause they don't play 4 minute dance songs.
No Way ?! Wow , That’s Spectacular !! Jc Coming Through w The FACTS 👏🏽🤍 I Love It !! & Thank You For Taking The Time Out To Leave This Comment . I Can’t Wait To Check Out All Their Other Songs !!
Most concerts are loud - too loud. This one was louder and so so so so clear. It was a phenomenal experience all around. I'm so glad they captured it for so many others to experience it.
The light show is the eyes of the song
Has to be listened to as a complete album with the door locked
I saw Pink Floyd in 1987. Hands down my favorite concert to this day. I have seen so many amazing concerts but Floyd has something extra special.
You can listen to the whole concert, puls tour -94. And....Pink Loyd, Queen, Steve Ray Vaughan and AC/DC. Best seen/listen to live.
Great Suggestion , I’ll Definitely Check It Out 🙂
It is nice to see some one never heard the song b4 understand what it's about👍🤘
That VOICE!!…..THAT GUITAR!!!🤩
David, you changed my Whole World 🌎!!!!! 🙏✨✨✨✨✨
Such A Beautiful Comment William !!
This is so good. Please react to pink Floyd "on the turning away" live next! It will blow you away
With eadphones better
Thank You For The Suggestion Will , I’ll Add It To My Reaction List 🤍
@@DoIttMiaaaa thank you! You'll love it I promise.
pink floyd are a british national treasure legends
Great song, great reaction. Thank you! Subscribed
Thank You Brian . I Appreciate The Feedback & Support .
Ani Difranco and Dar Williams do a cover to this song that does it justice. It's just as beautiful in its own way. I don't give that praise lightly, as Pink Floyd is one of my top 5 all time favorite bands
I played the cassette so much the labels wore off, such a great group!
Welcome to the GREATEST TWO GUITAR SOLOS IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK! The brilliance of David Gilmour is unmatched! This song is from their rock opera The Wall which is kinda a throwback to the descent into drugs and madness of the original lead singer Syd Barrett. At this point in the album Pink has gone catatonic and the vultures who make money when he sings shoot him up to get him on stage to perform. So he’s become Comfortably Numb. After this he really goes dark. Go watch the movie with the great Bob Geldorf as Pink. It’s a psychedelic trip.
Loved how you got into the music.
You just listen to the greatest band of all time and the greatest guitar solo ever
love your channel! girl you 🔥 🔥 🔥
When an electric guitar speaks directly to your soul...
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth Ford !!
I have 2 favourite songs of all time especially Live. This song and Telegraph Road Live Alchemy Tour 1983 by Dire Straits. Both equal in epicness. T.R. has so many peaks and troughs and an epic finale. My 2 fav. band's of all time and my 2 fav. Guitarists ever in Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. Cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸
These Are Magnificent Suggestions , Adding To My Reaction List Now .
Thank You For Taking The Time Out To Comment Mark 🙂
@@DoIttMiaaaa your welcome 🙏🙏
If you want to hear the fantastic lady backup singers of Pink floyd watch Great Gig in the Sky in Venice Italy 1996. Truely incredible. Hope you like it.💖
great reaction mia to a great song keep them coming
Thank You Bill , I Appreciate The Continued Support !!
Got ya , didn't it. Don't worry , it gets everyone.
I feel like I've been listening to this track my entire life , I'm 55 .
Great reaction! Maybe next try David Gilmour "a great day for freedom", live in Gdansk
Stay awesome virtual hug
Every guitar dreams of getting Dave Gilmore for Christmas lol
This Comment Was AWESOME 😅🎸 I Love It !!
Incredible
Like most great British bands and we are the greatest we are song writers musicians and poets all in one.
The following Pink Floyd albums are Concept Albums (all songs together tell a complete story)... Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979). The Final Cut (1983) is ify, as it was the last album with Roger Waters being in the band - leaving in 1985. *search on Wiki the album title to get the story behind the concept.

Pink Floyd was formed in 1965... their (most likely) last album was "The Endless River" in 2014. PF had 15 studio albums... 3 live albums, 9 compilation albums not to mention multiple live dvds and solo albums performed by below members of the band. * for the "live" shows they have more musicians.
Syd Barrett (short-lived founder; guitar plus) the originator and quirky eccentric; inevitably the consequential muse. * January 6, 1946 (rip 2006)
Roger Waters (bass) was the cultivator (seed sower), the lyrically conceptual prodigy, secondary vocal and co-maestro of songwriting * September 6, 1943 (age 79 years)
David Gilmour (guitar) was the placidity, guitar virtuoso, the silky smooth voice and co-maestro; the equilibrium. * March 6, 1946 (age 76 years)
Richard Wright (keyboards) was the essential underlying symmetry; musical nurturer. Occasional singer. * July 28, 1943 (rip 2008)
Nick Mason (drums) was the heartbeat, structure and foundation; the sole member involved from the emergence of PF to the last recording. * January 27, 1944 (age 78 years)

You Are Amazing . Thank You !!
@@DoIttMiaaaa I am amazing aren't I?!? ~wink wink!! :D
I thank you for your patience. No yakking. Good music is good music.
The quintessential headphone band.
Without a doubt the best band live I have ever seen and I’ve seen a lot Led Zeppelin Rolling Rush Stones Michael Jackson ac dc genesis 😁👌
If you haven't already, here's a suggestion from another Pink Floyd concert:
Here is the title: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019 - UA-cam
you should listen to the studio version. wear headphones. 👍
I was there....it was spiritual.
Wow , Such A Cool Experience . Thank You For Sharing Roman 🙂
Invest in a good set of headphones (an ear bud doesn't cut it) and listen to the whole Wall album; start to finish--it's a rock opera. Once you understand the context of Comfortably Numb, it will make more sense to you.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
If you've ever done LSD, then this song was about an acid trip, though Roger Waters says it's based on getting shot up with horse tranquilizers before a show do to a severe stomach ache.
This is the one band that I would choose to listen to for the rest of my life if I had to choose one band... Now I understand what I've just said holds no merit because I am a nobody I get that.... But I'm a nobody that has a great taste in music...
...madam, good luck,..удачи!!
British bands are the best
Mia, I just watched your review of RUSH Tom Sawyer, you mentioned you like all the sound etc. So I see this is your only Pink Floyd reaction. Like mentioned below one of the best ever. So I would like to suggest you revisit Pink Floyd again, BUT BUT BUT PLEASE start with STUDIO versions first. With Floyd you need the studio cuts to get ALL the originally intended music. To prove this to yourself, take a minute to listen to Comfortably Numb, the studio version to experience the difference and then I think you will have found another band to do a deep dive on like Rush.
First of all I love a woman who knows how to make herself look elegant and not a hussy LOL your hair is rocking! And thanks for reacting to one of the greatest rock guitar leads of all time. Don't forget all of Led Zeppelin maybe some Lara Fabian and David Phelps until next time stay well and stay smooth
Awe David 🤍 This Comment Is Rocking !! Thank You , I Appreciate The Feedback . Also I Will Check Out These Suggestions .
I Appreciate Your Continued Support !!
Put on some headphones, turn off the lights, lay in a beanbag chair and RELAX. Next thing you know it’s 2 hrs later.
I Have A Huge Feeling You’re Right Rob . Moving Forward , That’s Exactly How I Will Listen To Pink Floyd 😅
Love your reactions Mia. React to Pink Floyd "On The Turning Away"
If you don't get this song, you were born without a soul.
Im getting my pink floyd on tuesday i ordered it online from Amazon $13.99 thats not a bad price for i saw the other one it was more expensive so i stuck with the cheapest one i could afford
How’s That Pink Floyd Treating You ?
@@DoIttMiaaaa i watched it and i love it its good to watch i cant spoil the movie
You are so pretty and I love this song so it's like perfect 😂😂💯
Nobody can make a Stratocaster sing like David Gilmour
