I appreciate yall understanding. I have received a ton of hateful comments about me talking over the song( which I do in this video) but that is only to not receive a copyright strike or complete block... so his solo I most definitely didn't want to pause. Reaction videos are no joke to make... they are not easy. I appreciate your understanding.
Im not a nutter. My mother had Alzheimer's. She was in love with Gilmour. I had to take care of her. She said this show was her most favorite thing she ever saw.
I too was there and bought the t-shirt (and giant poster). It was incredible. I would never sell my merch and PF albums but I know it would run into $thousands! Comfortably numb is about a rock star on drugs and needs a 'shot' to perform. Whilst 'spaced out' he remembers a time, when young, when he was very ill in bed. He likens his current state to that time. An absolute must for a PF fan is to watch 'The Wall' the movie, starring Bob Geldolf as Pink.
I was there and believe me it was out of this world. I wish I can turn back time so I can be there again and again and again.... . Thank you for not pausing the video during the guitar solo. 🌹
That must’ve been an incredible experience! You truly witnessed musical history that night; many people, myself included, consider this to be the greatest guitar solo ever played.
I was at this gig, Earls Court London 25th Oct 1994, Never ever will you see a better show, You think lights are cool there, Take a look at finale, Run like hell, Guarantee your mind will be blown❤️👍🇬🇧
Saw Yes, Genesis and Jethro Tull (seven times each) and all had amazing live shows, but Pink Floyd and "Comfortably Numb" was the most gobs-macking experience of my concert-going life (and second place was not even close). Give Yes ("Roundabout"), Genesis (Firth of Fifth") and Jethro Toll ("Locomotive Breath") a listen. The '70's was an amazing decade for Prog Rock and those three along with Pink Floyd did a lot of experimenting and pioneering you can still hear in music today.
i have seen pink floyd live 4 times. first time 1980 earls court london ( the wall ) after that 3 times in the netherlands.. also the pulse concert'... all were great. and afier 45 years of beeing a fan i still listen everything again and again...
Pink Floyd is in my top three bands of all time.. You're right, there is nothing like great classic rock from the 70's... Had the pleasure to see Roger Waters (solo) at the Hollywood Bowl about 10 years ago.... Such an incredible experience... He performed Dark SIde of the Moon in it's entirety plus other songs from Pink Floyd.... Blew me away... Got a great contact high, that's for sure... lol..... Never saw Pink Floyd with both Gilmore and Waters, but I know someone who witnessed this in 1994 at Yankee Stadium..... getting back to Comfortably Numb, one of Floyd's greatest songs, plus one of the greatest guitar solos ever done... Definitely need to light one up when listening to the FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have seen Pink Floyd live in Miami and in Cincinnati. I have also attended concerts of various other famous groups. My 2 most favorite concerts ever are Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd.
Sky, you make an excellent point about the "sound" of the band. The sonics. I wasn't at this concert in '94. However, I saw them in '74 and that concert remains the most impressive gig sonically that I have ever been to. Right from their early years, Pink Floyd were rightly renowned for their advances in sound quality, lighting and the use of video backdrops.
They tore the house down with this performance pink floyd at the top of their game pure class im 74 this is my era it doesn't get any better than this absolutely fabulous loved your reaction it really doesn't come as a surprise who doesnt like pink floyd
I have been to many a Pink Floyd concert, starting with their sun set/sun rise open air festivals in the UK . Everyone eclipsing the last. Saw them in Den Haag (Holland) about 1987 or 88 and it all started with two bi-planes doing an aerial dance and actually flying into the arena. Saw this concert at the Mile High stadium in Denver. The world's largest disco ball actually grew from the stadium floor, and then opened like a flower. Amazing. Also, this was when the old airport was "in town (Stapleton)" and they diverted all incoming flights to land from the east because of all the lasers! ... There was never a band like them, and I doubt there ever will be again.
I have been to 3 Pink Floyd concerts. The first one was the original the wall concert back in February 1980 with the classic lineup. The second time was at the momentary lapse of reason concert in November 1987, and the last time at the division bell tour in April of 1994, which is the concert you just watched.
I'm in that crowd somewhere, up in the stands, was 19 at the time, will never be a better live show in my lifetime. When the disco ball opened and the light from inside shone out, sealed the deal for me!
Saw them live in June 1975 in my hometown of Hamilton, Ont Canada (snuck in, 16 yrs old!), then this tour in Toronto. Saw Roger waters a few years ago in Toronto as well. All awsome shows.
Yes, I was there. Still the best live show I have been to yet, followed by the Eagles, Hell Freezes Over tour, followed by the Rolling Stones, Tatoo You tour. Have seen lots and lots of bands live, and been to some awesome shows, but this was life alteringly good! Glad you took a small PF journey.
I was at this concert, it was a 21st birthday present to myself, it was my 1st ever concert and nothing has bettered it. React to Run Like Hell from the same concert next.
I was there...............I still remember heading home with four friends, noone spoke until we got back to Cardiff and a friend said in a very quiet voice "what the hell did we just see?" Four hours of noone saying anything, we had a few drinks on the way back but none of us said a word, it was THAT amazing.
Yes I was at this show, a little background for you. The big mirror ball at the end was covered in a black cloth for the whole show, so it was a big surprise for everyone there. also all Floyd shows are performed in Quadraphonic (Surround Sound). and you are correct this song was originally written by Gilmour and Roger Waters added the words. There is no chance now of ever seeing the Floyd live but the nearest you can get is to go and see a Roger Waters show. Great reaction Sky.
I saw Pink Floyd in Columbus, Ohio in May of 1994. I was 14, and my mom surprised my brothers and I with tickets. We had a great time, and my memories of that night are quite vivid. It was a magical night, and it's still the biggest and best concert I've been to. I still have the concert shirt and the ticket stub. Thanks for reacting to this. It's nice to see the Pink Floyd banner still being carried.
It gives hope to future generations when youth embraces music from previous generations - Thanks! The concert was amazing - I saw it in DC... I was blessed to see them live three times. An experience to never be forgotten each time. David and his guitar playing...
Saw them twice. First was pre-Dark Side of the Moon and nobody knew who they were - mebbe 500 people there. Second was Dallas and was basically this show. Both were EPIC.
Pulse concert is simply the best live music show! In 1994, Pink Floyd were in Prague (Czech Republic) with this show. I bought a ticket and the day before the concert I got sick, so I couldn't go. It rained all day but everyone who was there then said it was fantastic. I still cry when I remember that!
David Gilmour had written most of the music for this song during his first solo album. He ran out of time, so it was still around during the recording of The Wall. Roger Waters wrote the lyrics.
I saw this tour in Montréal in may 1994. A Pink Floyd show is not just a show, it's a profound expérience. I was 20 at the time..... Funny fact, when the lights went out and the show was about to start , hundreds maybe thousands of lighters went on and we were offered joints from all sides,
I was there, that very night. The only time I ever saw them live, and easily the best concert I've ever experienced. Over two hours, with a break halfway through, then this was the 2nd song of the three-song encore. You can make out, even on the video, the gasp from the audience as that whole circular lighting truss (which had been a projection screen for most of the show and weighed several tons, right over the heads of the performers) started moving to rotate down from vertical to horizontal. Then when that ball was illuminated, minds were blown. It was like a star going supernova right over the centre of the arena. It remains the largest mirror-ball ever created, and the illumination is from 24 2Kw super-troupers - the most powerful spotlights available with flood to spot focusing at the time (and memorialised in the ABBA song by that name). They are huge and heavy, and use easily as much power again in cooling the lighting head and power supply. Note also that it isn't a one-off - That auditorium holds nearly 20,000 and they sold it out for a fourteen night run at the end of the tour, playing to over a quarter of a million people at that venue alone. I went to the same college (now part of Anglia Ruskin University) as David Gilmour and Syd Barret. Syd has a memorial stone in the wall of the arts building, where he studied. Every year I propose David for the vice chancellor's awards in two separate categories, lifetime achievement and contribution to the arts, and now my wife has graduated from there too, so she can second my nominations. I'll keep it up until he has both. There is no better-known alumnus of the college, and certainly, none come close in contribution to culture. The lasers for this tour were apparently an experimental design, much more powerful than anything previously made and from Canada - when Pink Floyd heard about them, they leased every single one in existence for the tour, so they were, quite literally, irreplaceable. Sadly, Earl's Court is gone to housing developers as it was disgracefully allowed to fall into disrepair despite being listed. It was so large it extended into three London boroughs, had two stops on the underground, and its own electricity substation, upgraded several times over the decades of its existence. Pink Floyd extracted all the available power for all their gigs, and this was no exception. Apparently, the national grid had their timetable listed so that they would know when to bring power online and when to reduce it after the show. Coping with the fluctuations was apparently tricky! Epic seems inadequate.
In the Comfortably Numb Pulse concert, you saw 3 members of Pink Floyd from the 1960’s performing live at around age 50. The 1994 technology of their light show looks more advanced than what you would see in today’s technology.
The song was written by Walter’s. It describes a how he was so ill he couldn’t go on stage. A doctor gave him a shot of medication to help. Unfortunately it was too strong -it left him comfortable numb. True story.
Yes, I saw the concert Twice in Philly '94 & it was Incredible, No Cell Phones!, People just listening & Watching a show that would stand the test of time!!
It is this concert that changed my world. I did not got to Earls Court in London, but I saw the same concert in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in the same year. The only difference is that this is a smaller indoor arena, and the stadium I saw it in was a Football stadium that could hold 50,000. The huge discoball, instead of coming down from the ceiling, came out of the middle of the ground, basically where the kick off spot is on a football (soccer) field. While it was a different location, the show was just as awesome as the performance you saw here. That is the concert that got me hooked to Pink Floyd. I owned Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall before I went to this show, because hey..... every self respecting rock fan would have at least those two albums. But then I went to this concert. The next day, I went to the record store and bought the Division Bell. Over the next few years (and as money allowed) I bought almost every Pink Floyd album ever made. I think the only one I do not own is Umma Gumma. I have re-bought several on vinyl this year. In 2016 I had the privilege to also see Roger Waters in Los Angeles, where I live these days (well, OC...), having moved to the USA in 2002. Pink Floyd in 1994 did not have Roger Waters in it, he left the band in the mid eighties after fighting within the band. I do not care about who is right or whatever, I just want to see and listen to Pink Floyd..... that 2016 concert is also amazing. If/when David Gilmour tours again after this pandemic is done, I will go see him, and I recommend everyone do. Because it may be your last chance..... I want this song, this version played at my funeral. Hopefully, that won't be for another 50 years....
Lovely reaction ❤️. If you like Pink Floyd you will like Marillion too, I'm sure! Also great lyrics and stunning music 🎸. Please check out 'Neverland' (live 2009) . I went to the Pulse concert, I was 17 and it was my 1st concert ever
Was at the Tampa show on the floor next to the disco ball. Still have the ticket stub and can’t believe it only cost $35 to see this show. They set up surround sound in the freaking stadium. They would throw sounds all around you. No words how great this show was and the stage was massive.
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 was there then night this was recorded. It was the most amazing concert I have ever seen, you don't only hear and see the music, but you actually feel it. It is said that Dave Gilmour doesn't plug his guitar into an amp, he plugs it into your soul. I cant really put into word what I felt and saw during this concert but I can never be topped.
You are correct that Roger waters came down sick. His hands swelled up and was in sever pain. He was suffering from Hepatitus. They gave him medication to feel better, but was able to play afterwards at that performance. So the song was never about drugs, or even about masturbation (hands felt like two balloons) that some people allege, which is a pretty sick concept. He said he couldnt feel the fret board of his bass with his fingers. However with 15,000 people shouting and screaming didnt seem to notice. Roger Waters left the group in 1985, he was the writer of the lyrics of this song, and David Gilmour also had lyrics. They had such a fight about it that Roger left to go on his own. So Roger was not in this performance. And for those wondering about the rotating mirrors on the stage. Those were the Gibson Maestro Rover RO-1 revolving speakers. One of them was revolving near David Gilmour.
I was in Toronto for this same show. This song absolutely burned that fucking stadium to the ground. Absolutely moved to tears. Just a soul shattering experience
Hi Sky, I came across your channel as I was checking out all things Pink Floyd. I knew i would enjoy the music, but i wasn't prepared to be blown away by how awesome and stunning you are! Even after a few seconds i feel like you're a special woman with a good heart... ❤️️ Such a beautiful seductive voice also! (I don't often make comments or subscribe - but in your case, i couldn't resist) Well, i better get back to your reaction... 😂 I really enjoyed it and it was so nice to see how much you were enjoying it also. (btw please don't worry about the hateful comments - it's difficult not to enthuse so much about such a song). And... I was actually there at this concert - totally mind-blowing!! Not just the music, but the incredible light show also. And David Gilmour's solo.... he is so "at one" with it all - like he is "channelling from the Divine"... Being there was one of my most profound experiences. I floated out of the stadium afterwards. Thanks so much for posting this - it brought back such a beautiful memory - almost as beautiful as you! 💖 I hope whenever you read this you're having a wonderful day. Take care and stay safe. much love 💗💗
MY HEART 😭💗😭💗😭💗😭 YOU ARE SO SWEET AND I APPRECIATE YOU SOO MUCH. Your kind words just made my day. Truly from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU ♥ 💓 ❤ 💖 💗
@@SkyAndersonReacts You are soooo welcome! 💓 You deserve it all! 💗💗You also made my day with your lovely reply - and you are making me blush...😊 I did wonder if you would think i was maybe being a little too gushing. But i just had to be authentic and speak from my heart, so i am happy you enjoyed. Have a great weekend 💖💖💖
@@SkyAndersonReacts Nice to know you're happy with feelings being expressed.🤗 Am working this weekend, but having this connection with you has already made it brighter! 💗 💖 💗
it is called concept rock.. floyd was the first.. queensryche was the first to take that floyd style concept that each album is a novel, every song is connected and bleed together.. for years ryche fans would scream when will u cover a floyd song because u r the hard rock pink floyd.. finally in 2008 they did a good cover of “welcome to the machine” i always respected queensryche for that
Sky due to the sheer size, three identical stages and rigs were built, leapfrogging from venue to venue, since load-in and setup took three and half days to complete and load-out took another two. 🤯
Sky, I saw Pink Floyd back before DSOTM was released in 1972 in a small rectangular hall in Austin Tx. I believe that is the earliest of any of your comments here by at least a decade. They were experimenting with a quad PA system so the sound kept circling the hall. We heard Astronomy Dominie, See Emily Play, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Careful With That Axe Eugene and the encore was Echos. Small hall, quad sound and Pink Floyd while they were still in their experimental stage. It was my favorite Pink Floyd show as it was them before they staged everything and it was just the 4 of them playing their hearts out. Visual effects were smoke and light as lasers weren't readily available back then. Even so some people, perhaps having imbibed in psychotropics, were led out by the hand as they were unable to process any more. I still to this day rate it as the best show I have ever seen and I have been to hundreds of shows.
Would have loved to see that show but the Waterbury show sold out fast. I first saw then in 1975 but was a fan in 1969 so love that early stuff. See my other comments. In this thread.
@@vicprovost2561 That's about the same time I was introduced to them as well. A great year for new beginnings. That is when I started playing bass while continuing to play guitar. Also play Didgereedoo and sing. Got to play with many of the famous over the years. The Laurel Canyon scene in LA was notorious for all the musicians living there.
@@tonyharmon8512 Good for you Tony, my fingers would not cooperate so was never a musician but have a good ear for what I perceive as good music (that would be rock, metal and the blues for me, no rap, hip hop or modern pop). I have been to hundreds of shows since 1971 and look forward to more. 😎 Enjoy & Rock On.
Glad to see your appreciation for this! To answer your question, I saw Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. There were 47,000 fans and I had 18th row seats on the floor. The first half of the show they played the entire album Dark Side of the Moon start to finish, and the second half was songs from The Division Bell and other popular songs. It was an experience of a lifetime! Also saw them in 1987 in Austin on The Momentary Lapse of Reason tour
I was 16 in 1987 when "Learning to Fly" came out. I bought the Momentary Lapse of Reason cassette for the first girl I'd kissed, but such was fate that we "broke up" before I could give her my romantic gift. I listened to it. I told a friend they were good. He showed up the next day with dubbed cassettes of their entire catalogue. It is easily the best music I have ever heard. You are 100% correct about classic rock from the 70s. When I went to college I became a DJ just to play that music, and by the time Pulse came around two weeks before I graduated our station was sending busloads of people to shows in Boston and Montreal. We sold one Boston bus and four Montreal buses. The station got four free tickets for every full bus, so I went twice for free. 5/20/94 outdoors in Foxboro, 5/22/94 Sunday night indoors in Montreal. Anticipated those shows with deep gratitude. When I die they will still be a part of me. This timeless progressive humanistic music will last as long as people do because it pulls something from inside people across age, gender, nationality. This art proves we have more in common than we don't.
I was at the Detroit show on 7/15/94. They played Dark Side of the Moon straight through for the first time since 1975. Definitely lucky to be at that show.
Never saw Pink Floyd, but I do know relatives of mine who have seen them and plenty of other awesome shows I would have loved to see live such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult and loads others..... I've seen Metallica w/ Suicidal Tendencies and Danzig, Def Leppard w/ Tripping Daisy, Bon Jovi, Within Temptation and Delain w/ Kamelot and another band I forget. Hoping I get to see Nightwish this year also....
If you are a Floyd fan i highly recommend going to see Brit Floyd! They do an amazing job as a cover band and even have the backup singers. Sucks but we will never see the originals again and i never got the chance to see them 😢
Greetings Sky.. checked your reactions, and obvious love of rock, and I was raised on it, and delved into jazz, R & B, and classical. If I may here is a few amazing singers you would love. #1 is Angelina Jordan, and at 17 years old she is the best talent on the planet. #2. Boston. Incredible rock and rock band, and you would love them. #3. Morgan James sing Aerosmith Dream On. Enjoy and best wishes .
I was there on this night Such an awesome show it took me 3 days to come down again! David Gilmour reaches into your soul and and takes it to paradise! Been to all the top bands but nothing touched me like this!
Wouldn't it be great if in the last moments that it was the sonic wash of Pink Floyd music that ushered you into the great beyond? The calming influence would sedate the dread of leaving this life for the unknown as we ascend to a greater glorious afterlife. Unless, you were not. The promise entering the light could even direct people to lead better lives. If nothing else, it gives comfort to the senses of the living. And as the world turns, we need it more than ever.
Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite band, though it's close with Rush. However, without a doubt, Comfortably Numb is the song that stands out above all others in their discography. The song works on so many levels and evokes an emotional response every single time I hear it. Glad to know you are a fan as well! They are one of the greatest bands to ever exist.
I was there at the Pulse Concert in Rotterdam. It was performed in a football stadium with no roof. Fun fact was, they got complaints from Schiphol Air-traffic control. Pilots were distracted by the lightshow. Apparently, the approach or take-off flightpath was taking them near Rotterdam. The concert itself was awesome of course. Best one I have ever witnessed. The Lightshow for the next number in the encore is even more over the top. Watch the "Run Like Hell" song.
Sky "ANIMALS" is a must. I've posted this a thousand times but guitarists like David Gilmore and Adam Jones do more with fewer notes than Eddie and Slash combined. 🔥✌
I could not be more in agreement on this, I saw Van Halen on their first national tour in 1978 when they opened for Black Sabbath. Eddie was a revelation on the magnitude of Jimi Hendrix and soon after everyone wanted to sound like Eddie and be a shredder. The runs and chords we lived in the 60s & 70s were replaced by flash and dash by many guitarists who really could not conjure up what he did. You could still find fine classic rockers in the 80s but they were drowned out by the shredders and show offs who had nowhere near the talent of the players who came before. Give me Gilmour, Page and Michael Schenker any day over the shredders, Vic. 😎
The song has a spiritual quality as human being afterall we're all spiritual beings first and foremost. In this life journey we are tested in this lifetime. Good reaction despite not pausing while speaking.and going back. That's okay you'll get better at it.Guess listening to it again with eyes open or close has a more powerful effect. Lol.
Gives me goosebumps every time! Thank you for your reaction - it’s great to see a younger person responding so positively to music from an earlier time. Check out David Gilmour’s 2016 ‘Live in Pompeii’ performance: even at age 70 he still rules the game!
Actually, you need to react to the 2016 David Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert. He has his own band and performs many of the Pink Floyd hits. Gilmour is in his 70s and was the first live act to perform in that amphitheater since 79AD. He had played for more than 2 hours before he performed this song. You really need to react to that concert.
FINALLY.....someone who does NOT pause during a Gilmour solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a fan of yours!!!!!!!
I appreciate yall understanding. I have received a ton of hateful comments about me talking over the song( which I do in this video) but that is only to not receive a copyright strike or complete block... so his solo I most definitely didn't want to pause. Reaction videos are no joke to make... they are not easy. I appreciate your understanding.
Im not a nutter. My mother had Alzheimer's. She was in love with Gilmour. I had to take care of her. She said this show was her most favorite thing she ever saw.
@@paxomatic Thank you.
Golden rule is you never interrupt a Dave Gilmore solo .......
David,s voice is so clear the tone of hes voice smooth rlxing song and just to ad hes guitar solo,s magic the goat.❤❤❤
I too was there and bought the t-shirt (and giant poster). It was incredible. I would never sell my merch and PF albums but I know it would run into $thousands!

💜Pink Floyd is a breed of its own💜
" Child is grown the dream is gone" Such sorrow, anger and even love. You can hear and feel all that in the second solo.
Clemson Stadium may 12th 1994 best concert ever by far! Great reaction!
They tore the house down with this performance pink floyd at the top of their game pure class im 74 this is my era it doesn't get any better than this absolutely fabulous loved your reaction it really doesn't come as a surprise who doesnt like pink floyd

Listening to the albums is the best way to listen to Floyd...
I have been to many a Pink Floyd concert, starting with their sun set/sun rise open air festivals in the UK . Everyone eclipsing the last.

@@SkyAndersonReacts yep, never going to forget it, just a shame it ruined every other live show since as nothing can live up to that night ☹️
I seen them live in Gothenburg Sweden in 1991, absolutely magic !!!!!they ended with this song
My dad and my favorite band to share. We've watched this multiple times.
Pink floyd =strange magic that goes straight to your soul
If nobody's suggested yet, Pink Floyd 'On the Turning Away'. You'll get the feels in a MAJOR way!
Saw them twice. Momentary Lapse of Reason and Pulse. Took my mom to the Pulse show. She passed away abot a year after this.
Agree! Also saw them on both those tours!
I was 21 back in 94, July22. Saw this in Lisbon, with my parents... 😁 Hey, they paid for it...!
I was there. B.C. Place Vancouver B.C. in June of 94. Best show I have ever seen!
Saw them live in June 1975 in my hometown of Hamilton, Ont Canada (snuck in, 16 yrs old!), then this tour in Toronto. Saw Roger waters a few years ago in Toronto as well. All awsome shows.
I seen them live in Toronto 1994 - Amazing show - They sound better live believe it or not! Something you shouldn't miss!
I was there, life changing, no concert has ever come close since, :-)
No one sounds this good live ! Amazing performances and there are so many others from this concert.
Yes, I was there. Still the best live show I have been to yet, followed by the Eagles, Hell Freezes Over tour, followed by the Rolling Stones, Tatoo You tour. Have seen lots and lots of bands live, and been to some awesome shows, but this was life alteringly good! Glad you took a small PF journey.
I saw this tour ar RFK Stadium in D.C. and it's STILL the best show I've ever been to. By far
Pink Floyd are their own musical genre.
I was at this concert, it was a 21st birthday present to myself, it was my 1st ever concert and nothing has bettered it. React to Run Like Hell from the same concert next.
I was there...............I still remember heading home with four friends, noone spoke until we got back to Cardiff and a friend said in a very quiet voice "what the hell did we just see?" Four hours of noone saying anything, we had a few drinks on the way back but none of us said a word, it was THAT amazing.
Yes I was at this show, a little background for you. The big mirror ball at the end was covered in a black cloth for the whole show, so it was a big surprise for everyone there. also all Floyd shows are performed in Quadraphonic (Surround Sound). and you are correct this song was originally written by Gilmour and Roger Waters added the words. There is no chance now of ever seeing the Floyd live but the nearest you can get is to go and see a Roger Waters show. Great reaction Sky.
I saw Pink Floyd in Columbus, Ohio in May of 1994. I was 14, and my mom surprised my brothers and I with tickets. We had a great time, and my memories of that night are quite vivid. It was a magical night, and it's still the biggest and best concert I've been to. I still have the concert shirt and the ticket stub. Thanks for reacting to this. It's nice to see the Pink Floyd banner still being carried.
It gives hope to future generations when youth embraces music from previous generations - Thanks! The concert was amazing - I saw it in DC... I was blessed to see them live three times. An experience to never be forgotten each time. David and his guitar playing...
Saw them twice. First was pre-Dark Side of the Moon and nobody knew who they were - mebbe 500 people there. Second was Dallas and was basically this show. Both were EPIC.
Pulse concert is simply the best live music show!
In 1994, Pink Floyd were in Prague (Czech Republic) with this show. I bought a ticket and the day before the concert I got sick, so I couldn't go. It rained all day but everyone who was there then said it was fantastic. I still cry when I remember that!
David Gilmour had written most of the music for this song during his first solo album. He ran out of time, so it was still around during the recording of The Wall. Roger Waters wrote the lyrics.
A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour 87'. Mind still blown!
Best pink floyd react
I saw this tour in Montréal in may 1994.
A Pink Floyd show is not just a show, it's a profound expérience.
I was 20 at the time.....
Funny fact, when the lights went out and the show was about to start , hundreds maybe thousands of lighters went on and we were offered joints from all sides,
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was there at earl's court it changed my life.
You look amazing Sky. This song gives the world the longest and most beautiful guitar solo ever.
High Hopes, Sorow, One of these days from the same concert are all great one's. Enjoy the journey.
I was there for this recording. It was beautiful
watch both of the following also from the great floyd pulse concert run like hell and the great gig in the sky and be prepared to get your mind blown
I was there, that very night. The only time I ever saw them live, and easily the best concert I've ever experienced.
Over two hours, with a break halfway through, then this was the 2nd song of the three-song encore.
You can make out, even on the video, the gasp from the audience as that whole circular lighting truss (which had been a projection screen for most of the show and weighed several tons, right over the heads of the performers) started moving to rotate down from vertical to horizontal. Then when that ball was illuminated, minds were blown. It was like a star going supernova right over the centre of the arena. It remains the largest mirror-ball ever created, and the illumination is from 24 2Kw super-troupers - the most powerful spotlights available with flood to spot focusing at the time (and memorialised in the ABBA song by that name). They are huge and heavy, and use easily as much power again in cooling the lighting head and power supply.
Note also that it isn't a one-off - That auditorium holds nearly 20,000 and they sold it out for a fourteen night run at the end of the tour, playing to over a quarter of a million people at that venue alone.
I went to the same college (now part of Anglia Ruskin University) as David Gilmour and Syd Barret. Syd has a memorial stone in the wall of the arts building, where he studied. Every year I propose David for the vice chancellor's awards in two separate categories, lifetime achievement and contribution to the arts, and now my wife has graduated from there too, so she can second my nominations. I'll keep it up until he has both. There is no better-known alumnus of the college, and certainly, none come close in contribution to culture.
The lasers for this tour were apparently an experimental design, much more powerful than anything previously made and from Canada - when Pink Floyd heard about them, they leased every single one in existence for the tour, so they were, quite literally, irreplaceable.
Sadly, Earl's Court is gone to housing developers as it was disgracefully allowed to fall into disrepair despite being listed. It was so large it extended into three London boroughs, had two stops on the underground, and its own electricity substation, upgraded several times over the decades of its existence. Pink Floyd extracted all the available power for all their gigs, and this was no exception. Apparently, the national grid had their timetable listed so that they would know when to bring power online and when to reduce it after the show. Coping with the fluctuations was apparently tricky!
Epic seems inadequate.
They have a CD of this concert a double CD truly truly amazing i recommend it fning amazing 👍 👍
In the Comfortably Numb Pulse concert, you saw 3 members of Pink Floyd from the 1960’s performing live at around age 50. The 1994 technology of their light show looks more advanced than what you would see in today’s technology.
The song was written by Walter’s. It describes a how he was so ill he couldn’t go on stage. A doctor gave him a shot of medication to help. Unfortunately it was too strong -it left him comfortable numb. True story.
Yes, I saw the concert Twice in Philly '94 & it was Incredible, No Cell Phones!, People just listening & Watching a show that would stand the test of time!!
It is this concert that changed my world. I did not got to Earls Court in London, but I saw the same concert in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in the same year. The only difference is that this is a smaller indoor arena, and the stadium I saw it in was a Football stadium that could hold 50,000. The huge discoball, instead of coming down from the ceiling, came out of the middle of the ground, basically where the kick off spot is on a football (soccer) field.
While it was a different location, the show was just as awesome as the performance you saw here. That is the concert that got me hooked to Pink Floyd. I owned Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall before I went to this show, because hey..... every self respecting rock fan would have at least those two albums. But then I went to this concert. The next day, I went to the record store and bought the Division Bell. Over the next few years (and as money allowed) I bought almost every Pink Floyd album ever made. I think the only one I do not own is Umma Gumma. I have re-bought several on vinyl this year.
In 2016 I had the privilege to also see Roger Waters in Los Angeles, where I live these days (well, OC...), having moved to the USA in 2002. Pink Floyd in 1994 did not have Roger Waters in it, he left the band in the mid eighties after fighting within the band. I do not care about who is right or whatever, I just want to see and listen to Pink Floyd..... that 2016 concert is also amazing.
If/when David Gilmour tours again after this pandemic is done, I will go see him, and I recommend everyone do. Because it may be your last chance.....
I want this song, this version played at my funeral. Hopefully, that won't be for another 50 years....
Lovely reaction ❤️.
If you like Pink Floyd you will like Marillion too, I'm sure! Also great lyrics and stunning music 🎸. Please check out 'Neverland' (live 2009) .
I went to the Pulse concert, I was 17 and it was my 1st concert ever
Saw them in Chicago at Soldier Field back in the 90's.
Was at the Tampa show on the floor next to the disco ball. Still have the ticket stub and can’t believe it only cost $35 to see this show. They set up surround sound in the freaking stadium. They would throw sounds all around you. No words how great this show was and the stage was massive.
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 was there then night this was recorded. It was the most amazing concert I have ever seen, you don't only hear and see the music, but you actually feel it. It is said that Dave Gilmour doesn't plug his guitar into an amp, he plugs it into your soul. I cant really put into word what I felt and saw during this concert but I can never be topped.
You are correct that Roger waters came down sick. His hands swelled up and was in sever pain. He was suffering from Hepatitus. They gave him medication to feel better, but was able to play afterwards at that performance. So the song was never about drugs, or even about masturbation (hands felt like two balloons) that some people allege, which is a pretty sick concept. He said he couldnt feel the fret board of his bass with his fingers. However with 15,000 people shouting and screaming didnt seem to notice. Roger Waters left the group in 1985, he was the writer of the lyrics of this song, and David Gilmour also had lyrics. They had such a fight about it that Roger left to go on his own. So Roger was not in this performance. And for those wondering about the rotating mirrors on the stage. Those were the Gibson Maestro Rover RO-1 revolving speakers. One of them was revolving near David Gilmour.
I was in Toronto for this same show. This song absolutely burned that fucking stadium to the ground. Absolutely moved to tears. Just a soul shattering experience
I saw this tour in San Antonio Tx. It was Great! This was the final song of the concert.
Hi Sky, I came across your channel as I was checking out all things Pink Floyd. I knew i would enjoy the music, but i wasn't prepared to be blown away by how awesome and stunning you are! Even after a few seconds i feel like you're a special woman with a good heart... ❤️️ Such a beautiful seductive voice also! (I don't often make comments or subscribe - but in your case, i couldn't resist) Well, i better get back to your reaction... 😂 I really enjoyed it and it was so nice to see how much you were enjoying it also. (btw please don't worry about the hateful comments - it's difficult not to enthuse so much about such a song). And... I was actually there at this concert - totally mind-blowing!! Not just the music, but the incredible light show also. And David Gilmour's solo.... he is so "at one" with it all - like he is "channelling from the Divine"... Being there was one of my most profound experiences. I floated out of the stadium afterwards. Thanks so much for posting this - it brought back such a beautiful memory - almost as beautiful as you! 💖 I hope whenever you read this you're having a wonderful day. Take care and stay safe. much love 💗💗
MY HEART 😭💗😭💗😭💗😭 YOU ARE SO SWEET AND I APPRECIATE YOU SOO MUCH. Your kind words just made my day. Truly from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU ♥ 💓 ❤ 💖 💗
@@SkyAndersonReacts You are soooo welcome! 💓 You deserve it all! 💗💗You also made my day with your lovely reply - and you are making me blush...😊 I did wonder if you would think i was maybe being a little too gushing. But i just had to be authentic and speak from my heart, so i am happy you enjoyed. Have a great weekend 💖💖💖
No not at all!! I love when my subscribers express their feelings. You as well. I hope you have an awesome weekend 🤗❤🤍💙❤🤍💙
@@SkyAndersonReacts Nice to know you're happy with feelings being expressed.🤗 Am working this weekend, but having this connection with you has already made it brighter! 💗 💖 💗
it is called concept rock.. floyd was the first.. queensryche was the first to take that floyd style concept that each album is a novel, every song is connected and bleed together.. for years ryche fans would scream when will u cover a floyd song because u r the hard rock pink floyd.. finally in 2008 they did a good cover of “welcome to the machine” i always respected queensryche for that
Saw this Tour, out of about 60 Concerts, this is the Best one! Tickets for a Floyd show was almost impossible to find!
Sky due to the sheer size, three identical stages and rigs were built, leapfrogging from venue to venue, since load-in and setup took three and half days to complete and load-out took another two. 🤯
31 tractor trailers just to haul the stage
Its a transcendental experience
Saw this tour. EASILY the most amazing concert moment of my life. Superlatives fail.
Sky, I saw Pink Floyd back before DSOTM was released in 1972 in a small rectangular hall in Austin Tx. I believe that is the earliest of any of your comments here by at least a decade. They were experimenting with a quad PA system so the sound kept circling the hall. We heard Astronomy Dominie, See Emily Play, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Careful With That Axe Eugene and the encore was Echos. Small hall, quad sound and Pink Floyd while they were still in their experimental stage. It was my favorite Pink Floyd show as it was them before they staged everything and it was just the 4 of them playing their hearts out. Visual effects were smoke and light as lasers weren't readily available back then. Even so some people, perhaps having imbibed in psychotropics, were led out by the hand as they were unable to process any more. I still to this day rate it as the best show I have ever seen and I have been to hundreds of shows.
Would have loved to see that show but the Waterbury show sold out fast. I first saw then in 1975 but was a fan in 1969 so love that early stuff. See my other comments. In this thread.
@@vicprovost2561 That's about the same time I was introduced to them as well. A great year for new beginnings. That is when I started playing bass while continuing to play guitar. Also play Didgereedoo and sing. Got to play with many of the famous over the years. The Laurel Canyon scene in LA was notorious for all the musicians living there.
@@tonyharmon8512 Good for you Tony, my fingers would not cooperate so was never a musician but have a good ear for what I perceive as good music (that would be rock, metal and the blues for me, no rap, hip hop or modern pop). I have been to hundreds of shows since 1971 and look forward to more. 😎 Enjoy & Rock On.
The guitar solo and the visuals around it, should have every single person who sees it, a bit weepy. It still does to me and I saw this tour.
Glad to see your appreciation for this! To answer your question, I saw Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. There were 47,000 fans and I had 18th row seats on the floor. The first half of the show they played the entire album Dark Side of the Moon start to finish, and the second half was songs from The Division Bell and other popular songs. It was an experience of a lifetime! Also saw them in 1987 in Austin on The Momentary Lapse of Reason tour
Saw twice in Switzerland. Once in Lausanne in 1987 (Momentary lapse of reason) and once in Basel in 1994 (PULSE). Unforgettable!
Watch delicate sound of thunder concert it is again another mind blowing experience. You are awesome.
I was 16 in 1987 when "Learning to Fly" came out. I bought the Momentary Lapse of Reason cassette for the first girl I'd kissed, but such was fate that we "broke up" before I could give her my romantic gift.
I listened to it. I told a friend they were good. He showed up the next day with dubbed cassettes of their entire catalogue. It is easily the best music I have ever heard.
You are 100% correct about classic rock from the 70s. When I went to college I became a DJ just to play that music, and by the time Pulse came around two weeks before I graduated our station was sending busloads of people to shows in Boston and Montreal. We sold one Boston bus and four Montreal buses. The station got four free tickets for every full bus, so I went twice for free. 5/20/94 outdoors in Foxboro, 5/22/94 Sunday night indoors in Montreal.
Anticipated those shows with deep gratitude. When I die they will still be a part of me. This timeless progressive humanistic music will last as long as people do because it pulls something from inside people across age, gender, nationality. This art proves we have more in common than we don't.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was at the Detroit show on 7/15/94. They played Dark Side of the Moon straight through for the first time since 1975. Definitely lucky to be at that show.
Gorgeous as always.
Never saw Pink Floyd, but I do know relatives of mine who have seen them and plenty of other awesome shows I would have loved to see live such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult and loads others.....
I've seen Metallica w/ Suicidal Tendencies and Danzig, Def Leppard w/ Tripping Daisy, Bon Jovi, Within Temptation and Delain w/ Kamelot and another band I forget. Hoping I get to see Nightwish this year also....
If you are a Floyd fan i highly recommend going to see Brit Floyd! They do an amazing job as a cover band and even have the backup singers. Sucks but we will never see the originals again and i never got the chance to see them 😢
Thank you for the info!! I know, it's sad that we can't experience the originals.
I was at the concert in Belgium. The only regreet: it killed all the other concerts I went to after that! :)
Greetings Sky.. checked your reactions, and obvious love of rock, and I was raised on it, and delved into jazz, R & B, and classical. If I may here is a few amazing singers you would love. #1 is Angelina Jordan, and at 17 years old she is the best talent on the planet. #2. Boston. Incredible rock and rock band, and you would love them. #3. Morgan James sing Aerosmith Dream On. Enjoy and best wishes .
David Gilmour makes LSD trip out.
One band I would've loved to see live in person.
I went to 3 of their concerts.. the feeling is very hard to describe.. it’s one a person would have to experience
Pick any song from the pulse concert, but one of these days is crazy with the light show from the pulse concert etc....
I saw them here in Minnesota for the division bell Tour
I was there on this night Such an awesome show it took me 3 days to come down again! David Gilmour reaches into your soul and and takes it to paradise! Been to all the top bands but nothing touched me like this!
Wouldn't it be great if in the last moments that it was the sonic wash of Pink Floyd music that ushered you into the great beyond? The calming influence would sedate the dread of leaving this life for the unknown as we ascend to a greater glorious afterlife. Unless, you were not. The promise entering the light could even direct people to lead better lives. If nothing else, it gives comfort to the senses of the living. And as the world turns, we need it more than ever.
Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite band, though it's close with Rush. However, without a doubt, Comfortably Numb is the song that stands out above all others in their discography. The song works on so many levels and evokes an emotional response every single time I hear it. Glad to know you are a fan as well! They are one of the greatest bands to ever exist.
I was there at the Pulse Concert in Rotterdam. It was performed in a football stadium with no roof. Fun fact was, they got complaints from Schiphol Air-traffic control. Pilots were distracted by the lightshow. Apparently, the approach or take-off flightpath was taking them near Rotterdam.
The concert itself was awesome of course. Best one I have ever witnessed.
The Lightshow for the next number in the encore is even more over the top. Watch the "Run Like Hell" song.
I was there.
I'm still stunned.
Sky "ANIMALS" is a must.
I've posted this a thousand times but guitarists like David Gilmore and Adam Jones do more with fewer notes than Eddie and Slash combined. 🔥✌
*Gilmour
Also, that sounds like a bastardization of Dave Mustaine's quote about Gilmour.
Gilmour, not Gilmore. Gilmour makes the guitar talk to you!
I could not be more in agreement on this, I saw Van Halen on their first national tour in 1978 when they opened for Black Sabbath. Eddie was a revelation on the magnitude of Jimi Hendrix and soon after everyone wanted to sound like Eddie and be a shredder. The runs and chords we lived in the 60s & 70s were replaced by flash and dash by many guitarists who really could not conjure up what he did. You could still find fine classic rockers in the 80s but they were drowned out by the shredders and show offs who had nowhere near the talent of the players who came before. Give me Gilmour, Page and Michael Schenker any day over the shredders, Vic. 😎
Hell yeah
Yes I have this one in fact the best damn show ever
"Sorrow" from this concert is equally exciting... Maybe more.
O hell, if you're into Them, You've got new subscriber.
The song has a spiritual quality as human being afterall we're all spiritual beings first and foremost. In this life journey we are tested in this lifetime. Good reaction despite not pausing while speaking.and going back. That's okay you'll get better at it.Guess listening to it again with eyes open or close has a more powerful effect. Lol.
Gives me goosebumps every time! Thank you for your reaction - it’s great to see a younger person responding so positively to music from an earlier time. Check out David Gilmour’s 2016 ‘Live in Pompeii’ performance: even at age 70 he still rules the game!
Aww thank you!!
David Gilmour the king of echo sound ever!!
Actually, you need to react to the 2016 David Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert. He has his own band and performs many of the Pink Floyd hits. Gilmour is in his 70s and was the first live act to perform in that amphitheater since 79AD. He had played for more than 2 hours before he performed this song. You really need to react to that concert.
