Honestly - whatever you listen to from this concert - you will never miss it. I think it's the best live music performance ever, and Pink Floyd played a perfect selection of the best they've ever recorded (except Echoes).
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know.
I love this performance! The second guitarist is named Tim Renwick. He is not a member of Pink Floyd, but a friend of the band who has performed with various band members over the years. As for this song in particular, it is a protest song against rigid and abusive schooling as perceived by songwriter Roger Waters during the postwar era in England. It especially makes sense in the context of 'The Wall' album as a whole. It was one of their biggest radio hits. (Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985, by the way).
Your thoughtful and appreciative reactions are right on the money, as is your way of listening and then commenting for me is spot on. Keep doing what you’re doing please and welcome to the very deep rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd.
The realistic sound of the helicopter in the stadium cannot be overstated. Between the lights and the 360° surround sound speakers you really get the odd sensation that a helicopter is going to appear at any moment from behind the stage.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible.
@@criminally_chill_yt9949 Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… 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 froged 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 agree, on the turning away, ''Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019'' From the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour from 19 August 1988 to 23 August 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Another Epic guitar solo
Your absolutely right, just guys doing their thing and excelling in music and enjoying it; one of the things I feel with PF, is it's never been about them, it's about the song, the sound, the experience, where alot of these bands are up on stage and it's "look at me, i am totally awesome". Not these guys, they have always let their music/experience be out front. Try the live KEEP TALKING he uses a voice box on guitar, ONE OF THESE DAYS has ripping rock flat pedal steel and iconic bass runs and first set closing song, and the concert closer RUN LIKE HELL, and their signature SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND, their opener.

High Hopes from this concert is a beautiful song and you'll see David Gilmour play the lap Steel guitar. Loving your PF reactions
Definetley gonna check that out! Thank you

Wow what a great story, your a lucky man. How did you get back stage in the 1st place

He played with Sutherland Brothers and Quiver. I have 7 albums by them, counting the Greatest Hits, and one by Quiver.

From the same 1994 Pulse Concert in London, check out RUN LIKE HELL.
I saw many concerts from the 60's on up and saw Pink Floyd twice and they are still the two best concerts ever.
Keep it going. Hope you watch the entire concert.
Thanks for sharing !
I was there , 38 years old what an experience of a life time.
I was 24 and got a punch off my girlfriend by saying wow,Sam Brown! 🏴

The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS

It's just not fair lol. This is the one performance I wish I could have went to

This was 28 years ago and it's still a better show than anything that come around since.
This was a big hit single for PF in 1979 in the UK. If you like the Pulse gig, its finally getting a blu-ray release on Feb 18th.
Perhaps it's time for TIME (studio version first!)

Try out "The Great Gig in the Sky" from the same concert. If you like the backing singers, you'll love this one.
Try the song "Money" from this concert with a nice jam session in the middle.
great reaction, try, on the turning away- pulse or coming back to life,
💫✊💫✊💫
