Everybody love’s Comfortably Numb, Sorrow, Brick in the Wall, etc…….but for me, this is their best song. The raw emotion and artistic expression in this song is just top notch. The melody, the hooks and the ending are just…perfection. 👍🎸🎶😎🇨🇦
David Gilmour's voice is EVERYTHING. The rest is just icing on the cake. I was introduced to their music just 20 years ago but they'll be my favorite band for the rest of my life.
I went to this concert and listening to it today takes me right back to that night over 30 years ago. My ticket cost me $50 and the sweatshirt I bought was $30. Best concert I ever went to (and I've been to a lot). The short haired brunette back up singer was absolutely phenomenal. She sang the entire song "The Great Gig in the Sky" alone. In more recent concerts, all 3 back ups sang their own parts. I'll never forget her performance. David Gilmore is a rock god...and the laser show was mesmerizing.
As brilliant as Comfortably Numb is, On The Turning Away for me is a more emotional ride. SalvoG, you have become my favourite reaction UA-camr. Genuine love for music, true emotional responses, and a reminder that this era was a godsend to grow up with.
On The Turning Away is just as relevant now as it was then. (But that can be said about so many of their songs) It has been one of their best IMO since I first heard it in the early 80's!
I often think to myself "How many bands can move you so profoundly as often as this one?" Not many I can think of that can touch your soul as much as this one; and often only with the music! They're incredible!l
This version of the song really knocks my socks off every time. That part when it's just the voices backed by the accoutic guitar gives me goosebumps. Dogs of War from this same concert is a great song and it has a sax solo that'll melt your face off.
Richard Wright keyboard playing shines on this throughout. Starting with the haunting opening and then later on he complements the solo so well. Such an integral member of the band
I was lucky enough to win the opportunity to buy 12 tix for their show in Vancouver in the 90s. They were mind blowingingly good. Best concert I've ever seen. The female singers, too, were so integral and striking in their performances. Pure gold ❤
You listening to a true legends of the rock world Pink Floyd and David Gilmour voice and his guitar are untouchable when it comes to music truely a huge talent you can’t get no better experience!!!!!
I will always rate this live performance, along with the Led Zeppelin one off at the O2 Arena, as the two very best concerts I ever went to, and I have been to MANY!!!
Some of the best 9 min of my life. There are actually 2 "drummers". Nick Mason is the original drummer and Gary Wallis the percussionist who is usually seen standing up and jumping a lot for the high cymbals. He is seen in the short opening clip you started this with. Excellent reaction! I'm almost jealous that I can't relive the experience of listening and watching PF. Thanks for reacting to this great song.
This was at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in New York! I was there. I used to attend around 12 or so concerts a year the 80’s and 90’s, and Since then I spent the last quarter century working at 2 of our country’s most famous venues in Nashville, and this is still the greatest show I’ve ever seen, maybe tied with Garth Brooks at Central Park. Both shows were events of their own kind.
BEST Back up Singers EVER Rachel Fury Durga McBroom & Margaret Taylor They did the Best Live rendition of The Great Gig in the Sky (1988) Best Song to have on Loop from the Album A Momentary Lapse of Reason is Terminal Frost (instrumental)
Awesome video to react to. That guitar is a beast. It's singing the protest too. I've always loved this song and this live performance gives me chills.
One of my all-time favorite albums and definitely my favorite Pink Floyd album. The entire album is great, but Learning to Fly, One Slip, Yet Another Movie are standouts with an absolutely stunning finale in the song Sorrow. It's quite a transformative experience to take in the entire album, I hope you'll check it out.
Hey dude. So glad to see you found your way to this GREAT Floyd performance. I discovered it some months ago and was mesmerized and touched by it. I've watched so many reaction videos of it and people are so moved by it. One Y'tuber cries every time she hears Pink Floyd, and has been a pleasure to watch as I adore Pink Floyd. I don't usually request a listen by you, but if you enjoy quality vocals, and I mean "top drawer", check out Gabriel Henrique's AGT Golden Buzzer performance. You'll thank me. Peace brother!
You didn't even mention the keyboard parts, Richard Wright set up the ambiance brilliantly! From the first note you are drawn in. Not to mention that the keyboard intro allows David to start his vocals effortlessly.
Not sure why, but this one always puts a lump in my throat and/or a tear in my eye. Probably the only rock ballad you could use in pretty much any church service, almost hymn-like... quite a message
Awesome Reaction and analysis. I just subscribed to your channel. Nothing is rushed with Pink Floyd/ Gilmour. If you need a 3 minute introduction, you take it. Some may think it’s a waste of time, but not so; it’s important, it sets the atmosphere. That is why they are a cut above the rest.
Hey SalvoG. @6:51 you got it, and as a subscriber, I thank you. Don't get me wrong, you get a LOT of what's what, but as a Pink Floyd fan, ( I'm 63 ) U GOT THIS!! Please, keep'em coming!!
I actually work as a stagehand for them when they played here in NY being a union stagehand in the local on Long Island when the Wall tour came to town I saw them as a customer at the Nassau Coliseum during the wish your were here animals tour
I saw them twice in Atlanta, each with 60,000 of my closest friends. An hour after they left the stage at least half of those friends refused to leave the stadium. That's the impact of that incredible theatrical experience.
Saw this tour live back in the day. Met my friends in a pub across the road from the venue. Then I unexpectedly saw my sister with her friends. She handed me a pill and said 'take this'. Of course I did... We all walked into the open-air venue and could smell all the weed in the air lol. So probably could the cops in attendance. An amazing concert and we were all blown away when the 'flying pig' crossed the sky above us. A trippy trance it sure was.
This is a perfect example of the "sound" of Pink Floyd, versus another band like U2. You could can tell you're going to be listening a to Pink Floyd song and what a song it is.
This album and tour happened shortly before my teenage-self discovered Pink Floyd. It's weird seeing David Gilmour in '80s attire -- Versace-style colorful jacket over a collarless shirt, jumbo shoulder pads, and a hairstyle that is close to a mullet.
First, I want to thank you for what you do on your channel. Thank You! IMO the lyrics have a sense of urgency, and the music is foreboding! It doesn't get any better than this! Thanks for sharing! 🤠
On the Turning Away is one of my favorite non Waters Pink Floyd albums. This whole album is so good, from beginning to end. Major on my playlist. This video is from the live concert album, The Delicate Sounds of Thunder, a great live album/video concert. The title refers to the cheers and applause from the audience, which is a near constant throughout the whole of the album
Definitely a single. The Delicate Sound of Thunder (precursor to Pulse), imho, is the band's tightest recorded musical performance, though Pulse is probably the superior total package. From this concert, "Yet Another Movie" (also on A Momentary Lapse of Reason) is a great performance.
You sure had me scared I was like no not another dark video :) nd live Floyd at that. Then the lights came on and I was overjoyed. As always the look on your face says it all. Talk about being lost in the sauce :) Imagine listening to Pink Floyd back in the day doing acid They take you on a trip even without drugs This is one of my favorite live performances of theirs so glad you enjoyed it and yes that 9 minutes flew bye Cant wait for the Styx Renegade live reaction
The term I was told years ago is a CONTEXTUAL HIGH. Pink Floyd, unlike any other band is the only band that has done this. Makes you feel blissfully high without actually taking anything. A healthy high....called a CONTEXTUAL HIGH.
I'm usually the guy that recommends the live versions of songs most of the time. Don't get me wrong, this is amazing, but the music video for this is outstanding.
Great band. Another Brick in the Wall is another amazing song. Love that song and album. It was on our Juke Box in high school....principal hated it, based on the lyrics and slammed the juke box into the wall to scratch the record..lol. Awesome band.
You're really into this, and I f***in' dig it... cool man! This isn't one of my favourite Floyd albums, but I like your vibe. Check out something from the "Pulse" live video 1994... preferably something from "The Division Bell" album... "Keep Talking" off the top of my head. Cheers! 👍😎🎶
Love Pink Floyd. My 3 favorite bands to this day are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull. If you haven't had a chance to listen to Tull, I suggest you start with Aqualung.
you know, I've asked alot of people over the years, who is there top 5, best bands EVER! Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin are always in that list, 85% of the time
You seriously missed Rick's keyboards and his beautifully melodic opening which set the tone for these specific lyrics and everything which follows. The cinematography and editing were outstanding, as were the backing vocalists and players. David's best solo imho. Any cut from this remastered version is worth viewing. As good live music concert video production gets.
If they ever figure out time travel, the Pulse concert is my first stop. I'm old enough that I could have gone, but I didn't have the money at that time.☹

AGREE 100 PERCENT! ALWAYS PINK FLOYD WHEN IM FEELING DOWN!
@@darylabbott2032 My favorite is Us and Them.
Listening to Pink Floyd live is like being transported to another dimension. Best concert I ever attended.
me too
Exactly. It's a beautiful, powerful song and very thought-provoking, as usual.
all of my7 concerts still are there in my mind
@@dwhite849 magnificent, right David?
Especially on acid... I mean I heard that somewhere. 🤔 😁 I'm a 57 year old Grandma. Our music wasn't the only thing that was better.😗🎶

Soooo happy you are doing some Pink Floyd!! Best band EVER!!

And he actually seems to understand music and the power of instruments
On The Turning Away is just as relevant now as it was then. (But that can be said about so many of their songs) It has been one of their best IMO since I first heard it in the early 80's!
Oh WOW!!! Pink Floyd returns to SalvoG!! Yay! (Does happy dance) 😁
I often think to myself "How many bands can move you so profoundly as often as this one?" Not many I can think of that can touch your soul as much as this one; and often only with the music! They're incredible!l
No band like Pink Floyd, they're on another level altogether! Not to mention their enormous stage presence.
Pink Floyd is absolutely legendary.50 years on..
This version of the song really knocks my socks off every time. That part when it's just the voices backed by the accoutic guitar gives me goosebumps. Dogs of War from this same concert is a great song and it has a sax solo that'll melt your face off.
Their most beautiful song in my opinion.
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Magnificent. The lyrics are powerful, and that guitar solo? Chef's kiss 💋.
David Gilmour is a mastermind when it comes to the guitar as well as orchestrating and production. Such a genius in my opinion.
On of my favorite Pink Floyd performances. The lyrics, the music and the visuals come together to make a true work of art.
Richard Wright keyboard playing shines on this throughout. Starting with the haunting opening and then later on he complements the solo so well. Such an integral member of the band

One of the best songs I've seen/heard performed live. Rachel Fury and the girls blew me away.
I must be getting old. This song always invocs a tear.
One day; maybe.
I saw Pink Floyd 10 times on this tour and this song was always a highlight of each show!
Some of the best 9 min of my life. There are actually 2 "drummers".

PINK FLOYD IS DEFINITELY AN EXPERIENCE! ONE LIKE NO OTHER!❤
This was at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in New York!
I was there. I used to attend around 12 or so concerts a year the 80’s and 90’s, and Since then I spent the last quarter century working at 2 of our country’s most famous venues in Nashville, and this is still the greatest show I’ve ever seen, maybe tied with Garth Brooks at Central Park.
Both shows were events of their own kind.
The best of the the great bands from the 70s, THE best decade for music.
There is nothing like Floyd!!❤
Pink Floyd was always know for the dazzling lasers.
My 33 year old Son told me that my music just couldn't compare to today's music. I said I saw Pink Floyd live. Check and mate.
That was a cruel thing to do to your boy. He is defenceless in the modern world.
@@fedup3449 he's in jail for trying to kill me. He can sit and spin.
Remember, No more turning away. It will change your life for the better and make your heart full.

My favourite live song by PF. Thanks for the reaction.
Such a stunning performance
You don't listen to Pink Floyd. You EXPERIENCE Pink Floyd 💗 Just close your eyes and sail away!!❤
My fave PF track, plus we got the gorgeous Rachel Fury! 😍
which one's Rachel Fury?
@@seerofallthatisobvious1316 The backing singer nearest Gilmour.
@@ianbrooke6342 thanks, she's beautiful.
The back up vocalists deserve every award that exists
@michaelfagan9620 Floyd have used a number of combinations and they're all great.
Awesome video to react to. That guitar is a beast. It's singing the protest too. I've always loved this song and this live performance gives me chills.
We dont listen pink floyd, we feel it and expérience it.
That was a great reaction to a fabulous Pink Floyd track.
Please do more Pink Floyd! High hopes live please!!!!
Love this song … and my all time favorite group, thank you!
"Just Another Brick in the Wall" would be right up your alley!
One word for some of the songs on Momentary Lapse of Reason - Underrated.....
Gorgeous song. Gorgeous reaction.
What i like about this track is you constantly think it must be the peak, but it keeps finding another gear and continues growing.
😂 yes that guitar is just crazy, I feel the same!
One of my all-time favorite albums and definitely my favorite Pink Floyd album. The entire album is great, but Learning to Fly, One Slip, Yet Another Movie are standouts with an absolutely stunning finale in the song Sorrow. It's quite a transformative experience to take in the entire album, I hope you'll check it out.

Although Comfortably Numb is a super track, this one is still my favourite by them.
Just transports you to a spectral plane
Great gig in the sky from the pulse concert will blow your mind
Salvo... mate.... that little giggle at 7:45... you were in... and couldn't get out till the song finished! :) Well done!
You didn't even mention the keyboard parts, Richard Wright set up the ambiance brilliantly! From the first note you are drawn in. Not to mention that the keyboard intro allows David to start his vocals effortlessly.
Not sure why, but this one always puts a lump in my throat and/or a tear in my eye. Probably the only rock ballad you could use in pretty much any church service, almost hymn-like... quite a message
Shine on your crazy diamond, Time, Brain Damage-Eclipse, Dogs of War, etc etc etc ❤❤❤❤❤
Something to look out for the next time you watch this: when the singer throws out that high note, David catches it and plays it back. 😊
I was there, what an experience it was. Incredible and a dream come true, a lifelong ambition fulfilled.

"Shine on you crazy Diamond" (Studio album) ..... "One of these Days" (Live Pulse 1994) ..... "Fat Old Sun" (Live in Gdansk 2008)
❤❤ Pink Floyd ❤❤
I saw them twice in Atlanta, each with 60,000 of my closest friends. An hour after they left the stage at least half of those friends refused to leave the stadium. That's the impact of that incredible theatrical experience.
find the dvd, Delicate SOund of Thunder, is so freakin good, it truly transports you! LOVE yourreacts bro!
I much prefer this live video over the studio version!
I was at this show. It was the 14th time I'd seen them, and I didn't miss RW at all.
A great album. I remember when I bought it.
I always wanted to see them live just for the laser show
Good reaction, shine on you crazy Diamond version pulse, saludos desde Argentina

great reaction, id recommend that you try " COMFORTABLY NUMB " or " SORROW " from the live
pulse concert
I love this album, saw them right after it came out in I think 87 in the Orange Bowl
Your outro summarized/exemplified the experience that is Pink Floyd (with or without Roger Waters). Amazing band.
It always blows me away that when people talk about greatest guitarists they rarely mention Gilmour.
Saw this tour in Dallas in the 80’s
Seen them a few times, always magical, with and without Roger
