The bass player is Guy Pratt who by this time had been in the band for around 10 years, before joining the band he had already played with MJ and Madonna to name 2 ,he already had a British and European no 1 with Icehouse, you will be surprised at his discography . And yes I was at Earl's Court for this show and will never forget it.
Guy Pratt is a longtime bassist for Pink Floyd. He was already part of the Momentary lapse of reason tour and was also involved in the creation and composition of The Division Bell. He was married to the daughter of Richard Wright, the keyboardist of Pink Floyd. He has worked with musicians and bands such as Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Icehouse, Gary Moore, Tears for Fears, Madonna, Roxy Music as well as Michael Jackson in the studio or in live performances. He is a member of the band The Transit Kings, which, in addition to him, consists of Alex Paterson (The Orb), Jimmy Cauty (The KLF), Dominic Beken and Billy Pilgrim. Since 2018, he has toured North America and Europe with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets; playing early Pink Floyd tunes.
That's Guy Pratt singing with Dave Gilmour, although technically not a member of Pink Floyd, he took over on bass guitar when Roger Waters quit the band in 1985. During the years after Roger Waters quit Pink Floyd, the 3 remaining members of the band continued on as Pink Floyd, they're the 3 old guys onstage, David Gilmour of course, and drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist, Richard Wright. The other musicians onstage here are the touring band for that time period.
Can I just say hi friend as it seems that like myself you enjoy doing the rounds of the reactions, love seeing the reactions of the young uns and remembering what it was like to be there at Earl's Court, brings some joy back.
You were a particular delight to watch in this reaction, Blessing! ❤ Yes, that was one phenomenal light show. I wonder if they were touring this gig. It seems like it would be difficult to replicate that kind of presentation night after night. What a delight. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, dear friend. 🥰
When Pink Floyd went on tour they had a fleet of over 50 trucks broken into 3 groups. One was for the lights, sound system etc. for the show they were doing while a second was carrying a match set of the gear to setup for the next gig, as the third was tearing down and loading up from their previous.
This was a world tour, although I don’t think it made it to Australia......definitely had 3 large semi trailers of gear criss crossing all over America and parts of Europe ( if not all of Europe )...... one of the biggest music tours ever.
😁 Lucky enough to see DG/PF do Pulse Tour on the East Coast (Meadowlands, NJ) and it was a 3 Truck Tour. 🤯 1 for the city they just left, 1 for the city they would play that night & 1 to set up in the city they would play the next night. 🥰🐰
The guy who sang with David Gilmour is Guy Pratt, who has been the bassist for Pink Floyd since the mid-80s, replacing Roger Waters. Pratt played with them until they broke up, and is still playing with David Gilmour in his solo work. Fun fact: Pratt was Richard Wright’s (keyboards) son-in-law.
In the story that the album tells (The Wall), this song is part of Pink's show, who is still under the influence of drugs, (See: Comfortably Numb). Here, he shouts his rage against those elements of society that attempt to pull us towards intolerance, hatred, and elimination of individual rights and freedoms. He warns his listeners that if they break the rules, (They're going to send you back to mother in a cardboard box), or if you prefer, in a coffin.
Here in America, it's not a punishable offense. It's only punishable if her daddy grabs his shotgun! Lol. Enjoyed your reaction. It's always nice to see young people discovering Floyd. Wish you much more Floyd happiness. We used to call it "ear candy". 🇺🇸😎
Guy Pratt who replaced Roger Waters played with Pink Floyd then Gilmours solo tours and even now is still playing with Nick Mason's A Saucerful of Secrets band ( from one of their early album titles) they only play music from the early period with Syd Barrett as there are already so many Pink Floyd tribute bands. he was asked both by Madonna and Micheal Jackson to play on one of their albums. Madonna had never used a live drummer previously, he relates the story that madonna was asked to go to some event at short notice and asked him to be her partner for the night, after thinking for not a long time he agreed . wow going out on a date with Madonna, he could only have been about 19/20 at the time. Anyway it ended in dissapointment , the event had been organised at very short notice and there were no photographers there to record his "Date " with Madonna. No mobile phones back then !
Lovely reaction ❤ I've seen them during this tour, I was 17 then. It was my first concert ever, never forget it! I recommend the band Marillion, please check them out! Their guitarist is at the same level as David, so with emotional solos and great riffs! Their song 'Neverland' (live '09) is a great love song, you'll love it. ❤
Others here have identified Guy Pratt on bass. It should be mentioned this was no fresh kid substituting for Roger Waters here - GP was (and is) a major bassist who’s appeared on myriad top-drawer recordings, including Michael Jackson’s thunderous “Earth Song” and others.
This song is from the 80s, in the context of the movie The Wall. about war trauma, and naxi dictators. The metallic singer is the best bassist who has ever played for Pink Floyd. Mr. Guy Pratt, your reactions are the best ever, i love you Blessing❤
The cardboard box reference is saying "don't take advantage of this girl or you'll end up dead" the words are"send you back to London in a cardboard box".
David Gilmour was not young here..... probably in his 50’s. To see David young watch Echoes live in Pompeii..... the 1971 / 72 one by Pink Floyd, not the later one by David and his band. lol
You’d have to watch the movie, “THE WALL” in order to fully understand what “send you back to mother in a cardboard box” truly means… talk about a full range of emotions and goosebumps…react to the full movie…totally worth your time and unlike anything else you’ll see in your entire life…
First of all, hats off to you for your great reaction, and hats off to the Patreon who suggested this great song. In my opinion this was absolutely the best live performance of this song, and I never get tired of it. If I remember correctly, Pink Floyd ended The Pulse Concert with this song. Run Like Hell is on The Wall album which tells a story, and to be fully appreciated the lyrics of this song have to be understood in context with the story. The bass player and singer you referred to replaced Roger Waters who left Pink Floyd. Both are amazing musicians.
Hi all what say ye about PF - Run like hell? This was epic! Share your thoughts in the comments! Let’s connect: linktr.ee/mrspenpal
best band of all times 😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate sound of Thunder concert . 1988 - 1990 .. ) 🎸🎶🎶

Cardboard box = cheap casket. I saw them on this tour twice, one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen.
Oh wow even more drastic, thanks for sharing!
A Pink Floyd concert is just not a concert it's a beautiful experience!

Last song of the show, if you wait a few seconds at the end they say goodbye...beautiful.
A coffin. You have great effects on your reaction. Saw Pink Floyd 3 times. Great conceptual concerts with effects.

@@MrsPenPal Interesting trivia, Guy Pratt married Richard Wright's daughter Gala in 1996. Two years after this concert.
Great performance. That was the finale of the pulse concert. 😅
Oh really truly warranted ✨

The bass player and singer with Gilmore is Guy Pratt.

It's a warning about fascism and how it creeps up on you, in the simplest sense.

sending you home in a carboard box is reference to a temporary cardboard coffin they would send your remains home in.
You would love Pink Floyd Pulse live songs. Comfortably Numb, High Hopes,Sorrow, Wearing The Inside Out.

The other singer at the Bass are Guy Pratt
Honestly you'll need to see the album movie for context.
Lovely reaction ❤

You have so good taste - the best song (for me)
Guy Pratt on bass and vocal👍
Thanks for sharing

The cardboard box reference is saying "don't take advantage of this girl or you'll end up dead" the words are"send you back to London in a cardboard box".
The official lyric is "mother," not "London." Epic
Guy Pratt changed the lyrics to whatever city they were playing in at the time just so it was a bit more personal to those in the audience.
Hi there, if interested check this song played in the pompeii live concert
David Gilmour was not young here..... probably in his 50’s.
To see David young watch Echoes live in Pompeii..... the 1971 / 72 one by Pink Floyd, not the later one by David and his band. lol
Bass guitarist Guy Pratt
The other guy is bass player guy pratt
The young blond singer replaces the genius Roger Waters who had disputes with the three Pink Floyd members
You’d have to watch the movie,
“THE WALL” in order to fully understand what “send you back to mother in a cardboard box” truly means… talk about a full range of emotions and goosebumps…react to the full movie…totally worth your time and unlike anything else you’ll see in your entire life…
