When I saw Floyd in Earl's Court the Dark Side Of The Moon album had just come out. I was sitting under the rocket which showered me with red hot sparks when headed towards the stage
I aaw them at the Hokkenheim ring, Germany on the tour. It was obvian outdoor gig. The ground literally shook. The whole show was amazing but this and Comfortably Numb were the absolute highlights
I attended 2 nights at earls court, the second night we were in the 2nd row on the floor bang in front of Gilmour, it was like being in the middle of an audio and visual earthquake for 2 hours - people came out at the end with an expression of WTF have we just experienced.
Well done for catching the Dr Who reference. Pink Floyd were friends with Delia Derbyshire, who created the iconic theme in the 60s. She was definitely an inspiration for them in their early career.
@@MoreMeetArthur The "Dr Who" guitarist is Tim Renwick. ua-cam.com/video/qDqM-8pikFI/v-deo.html Pink Floyd don't use backing tracks live but do each have bloody talented session musicians to "double track" them live .. and just give them a rest in some cases. Tim is Dave's backup, obviously. I think he does most of the work on Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2, for example.
Bassist Guy Pratt’s dad was an actor - Mike Pratt star of the original RANDALL AND HOPKIRK (DECEASED) - the Vic and Bob version was a remake. They had three stages and sets of lights so one would be in performance one being struck and another constructed somewhere in the world. 3 weeks at Earls Court totally sold out. Check out both Porcupine Tree and Stephen Wilson live shows. And David Gilmour at Gdańsk …I also strongly recommend BIG BIG TRAIN
You fellas are probably aware that, not quite Dr. Who but, Hitchhiker’s creator Douglas Adams played on a couple of songs at Earls Court on his 42nd birthday.
There's a photo of him doing this in drummer Nick Mason's book Inside Out. I assume you're aware he altered the ending of the HHG first season to have them steal the stage prop belonging to the plutonium rock band 'Disaster Area' aka Floyd. And on the 1979 Original Records vinyl version (with many of the original cast), there's the line...'Ford, do you realise that robot can hum like Pink Floyd?'. This version is up on YT somewhere.
@@MoreMeetArthur In the show, the stage prop is a black frictionless ship sent through a star as part of Disaster area's lightshow, probably inspired by Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun. After Adams died, David Gilmour played guitar at a memorial service for him.
🙋🏿♀️ May I suggest you guys check out some Rush cause Geddy Lee uses delay on his Bass too. Check out 2112, Cygnus X-1 (Book 1 The Voyage) or Xanadu. 😍 Blessed to see both bands live with MSG, Giant Stadium & NJ Meadowlands being my "local venues". I saw Rush open for Kiss in 🤯 JHS. 😂🐰
🥁 Check out 'Neil Peart Drum Solo Live in Frankfurt' 😉 then let's talk Cymbal Counts.... 🤔 Rush didn't have an opening band, so they played 3 hrs. We'd get a solo every concert
Any chance reacting to live version of Steve Vai - Tender Surrender or Whispering A Prayer and/or Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien or Flying In A Blue Dream? All the best from the far north of New Zealand and yes, Floyd are one of the greatest bands of all time, been listening to them for the last 45 odd years.
I'm confused.....Earl's Court is not a massive stadium.it's a concert hall ,isn't it. Sure looks like a massive stadium to me in this video....I could be wrong
When it was around it was on of the UK’s largest indoor arenas! Believe the capacity was around 20,000. Not too many venues like that in the U.K. anymore sadly.
Hey boys, this music was created in late 60s, just exactly what you are listening, this AND some other kind of music, AND if you call this noise do not react at It, do It only with rap, rege AND that stuf you grow up with!!!

That's so cool! hope you didn't get burned
it's the most intense concert song I've ever experienced, it hits you right in the spine and changes your heartbeat.

As someone who saw this concert twice, I can tell you that it was all live! No backing tracks needed with Pink Floyd!

So jealous 😢
🤣 It was at the NJ Meadowlands that we saw the Pulse Concert in the nosebleed section. 🐖 I was NOT ready when the pig 😱 shot out past my head. 🥰🐰
This was the first Floyd track i ever listened to after a neighbour gave me the album when i was 13 and i was hooked and still am after 35 yrs
So, same as me!
tickets were about 50-75 pounds for earls court 2.

That's awesome! Thank you for telling us :)

No band like Pink Floyd!
Absolutely!
This was a nice reaction to a great song..!
Thank you!
Feel free to check out the others or make recommendations 😀
The gig your fam went to was from concert "a delicate sound of thunder"
You guys have to do Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Echoes
We definitely do!
That snippet of the Dr Who theme was NOT snuck into this performance - it appears in the original studio version too.
I'll be honest, I choose to listen to this one 👀
I love this..... Drive in my car, radio LEVEL ON 10.... and gooooooooooooooo

Greetings from Miami, Florida. From the same PULSE collection, please check out COMFORTABLY NUMB, and also SORROW.
Gilmore said they never played to click or time code. All the lights were hand triggered and every performance was different.
Jesus christ, the talent to do that is unreal

I paid $36 for this show in the States

If you like Gilmour on lap steel check out him playing Albatross and Oh Well part 2 in the Mick Fleetwood and Friends play the music of Peter Green

It's not a pig but a wild boar. This is to counter a court ban on the use of the pig following the separation from Roger Waters. It was clever 🙂
That's hilarious 😂
I saw this in Raleigh N.C. paid 64 dollars for 4th row in front of the keyboards. Best concert ever.
The bass player Guy Pratt was Richard Wright's son in law.
Didn't know this! Thank you for the insight!
@@MoreMeetArthur not yet as at his concert .. they married a couple of years later.
I like to watch guys who are muscians react, would love your thoughts on Echoes at Pompeii. Sub'd and looking forward to more technical insights.
Really appreciate this lovely comment! Thank you for subbing - More PF vids and many other great bands on the way!
I still have my ticket stub, US tour...

Fancy checking out Wishbone Ash - Argus album? Ive not saw any reactors doing it... Great British band.
We shall have a look, thank you!

Earls Court was a big exhibition hall. I went to a couple of Ideal Home Exhibitions there. It has now been demolished unfortunately
Love this song but the better version is from Delicate Sound of Thunder
