200 years from now most modern bands will be forget and lost to time but not Pink Floyd. Their music is the kind that will live on for generations after we've that have been privileged enough to see them live have taken the boat down the endless river.
My absolute favourite PF song. The emotion and the atmosphere of this song is almost too much handle. I can’t tell the number of times this song has brought me to tears. The chords are exquisite, the tempo is so satisfying and the lyrics are incredible. This is the Mona Lisa of music. It never gets old.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🎉🎸🇨🇦
@MrPolleyr this is a very weird question but I stumbled on something weird related to this song and wanted to talk to someone who seems fairly familiar with the song (not in any super technical sense), as you say you've seen this version multiple times. I think you would find it interesting. Anyways yes I know, bizarre request but I just have to run this by someone.
There is a very good reason Pink Floyd is the greatest Band of all time. This song is just one of those many, many reasons, Salvo. Nice job, nice reaction Bro.
I was at this concert but had train problems, we luckily found an amazing taxi driver who must have broken every traffic law to get us there so we walked in the door to hear that bell ringing, incredible relief not to have missed anything (this was the opening number).
You definitely get it. PF are masters at creating music that puts you in a different head space. The music practically demands you to focus on it and nothing else. It is magic, in every sense of the word.
A song that 30 years later resonates even more, all about looking back at the hopes and ambitions of youth and the realisation that expectation failed to meet reality, great song and well worthy of being a Pink Floyd song no matter what Roger may think.
Fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it. Was lucky enough to see this tour in Philadelphia & even meet them……starstruck ✨✨ Thier music has been such a hugh part of my life……from childhood to now. Really nice bunch of guys…awesome artists & music.
If I could travel back in time to see one gig, it would be this. I've watched the dvd many times and I am so envious of those who were there. Thanks for another great reaction.
Great reaction, I've been a Pink Floyd fan since 1973 when they released their iconic, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album. I'm 68 years old and I grew up in the Classic Rock era and I've seen more than my share of Rock Bands, and I can definitively say,... No band puts on a live performance like Pink Floyd! I've seen Floyd twice in the 80s, one time was the incredible, phenomenal, "The Wall" Show/Concert/Play/movie.
I saw them two times at the Olympic stadium in Montreal in 1994 for that tour ,it was magical, around 60 000 fans were there each night, great reaction
A lot of guitarists can make a guitar sing. No one makes it sing like David Gilmour! I saw this show in Cleveland in 1994 and it's still one of the greatest nights of my life!
This is a emotional song for me being a fan since 1972 , its the last track on the last studio LP of Pink Floyd , this opened the pulse concert . Its about the beginning of Floyd and the progression
Salvo, check out this song performed live in Gdansk (video on David Gilmour's official YT channel). Gilmour takes it to another level backed by an orchestra, also playing a beautiful acoustic outro accompanied by violins.
This song evokes such strong memories and emotions of my childhood. It takes me right back there in a way that I wish I could literally go back there. It reminds me of that saying, "you can never go home again".
I always wonder how many people miss the scene and don't get it when it shows the guitars floating downstream presumably out into the ocean forever which is coupled along with the lyric, "time took our dreams away"? I mean he plays music so his guitars are his dreams and they're being taken away!
I was 16 when I first heard PF on the underground FM station living with my folks in the SF Bay Area in 1968.. and I looked the same as you. We Floydies just get older but our respect and awe to have been a part of the PF 'LIVE' generation will never leave... Welcome to the best music ever made.
You may notice that the crowd was more subdued than normal. The reason is...this concert (Pulse) introduced "High Hopes" for the first time. (The album came out around the same time). us it was the opening of the concert. In the years that followed, this song has become one of the most loved of their later years.
I've got a few recommendations from Gilmour's solo concerts: - Breakthrough (live with Richard Wright) - In Any Tongue (from Pompeii 2016) - Fat Old Sun (from Remember That Night, 2006) - Castellorizon/On An Island (from Live in Gdansk, 2006) These songs will all give you that same feeling that for a couple of minutes the problems of life and the world no longer matter.
"The Division Bell" album was promoted by the tour that became known as PULSE - which is one of the greatest tours of all time. It was also their final studio album as Pink Floyd (with Richard Wright). As the final track, "High Hopes" is a perfect ending to an amazing band's studio career. FYI, the actual division bell is used in Britain to signal the start and/or end of a session of Parliament - the allegory applies to their beginning and ending as the greatest band ever, with a final visual tribute to long gone founder Syd Barrett.
Pulse is NOT Pink Floyd. The main vocalist, bass player, and the guy who wrote most of their songs (Roger Waters) had been out of the band for well over a decade at this point. Pulse is David Gilmour covering Pink Floyd tunes. Waters even sued the band over it. Sorry, but I am a Pink Floyd fan and the album they put out (division bell) and the tour that followed were, IMO grift. This is not Pink Floyd.
You sound very bitter in your comment, like David Gilmour has done you a personal injustice, or you perceive yourself to be the final arbiter of what should and should not be. Too bad you stopped listening to the music and the message and got infuriated by our inability to see things the way you do. Of course you could create some music yourself which might impress us, but I doubt it.
I love this song. Pink floyd FOREVER!

This song gives me goosebumps, that slide guitar is beutiful.
@MrPolleyr Well said! Mine, too ❤️
@@kariborgos3043 …On the Turning Away….is a very close second.🙂
I agree. I’m actually in tears now, even though it’s my 2,745,286th time hearing it🥺

Probably my most favorite Pink Floyd Song. And it hits harder, the older you get. I loved it already in 1994, but it‘s even better 30 years later!
Long live Pink Floyd.💓💓✌️🌻🌻
The cerebral band of rock! No other band like them, not even close to them!
There is a very good reason Pink Floyd is the greatest Band of all time.
This song is just one of those many, many reasons, Salvo.
Nice job, nice reaction Bro.
Loved your reaction. Not one band member wastes a note as they take you on a journey.. again and again.
I was at this concert but had train problems, we luckily found an amazing taxi driver who must have broken every traffic law to get us there so we walked in the door to hear that bell ringing, incredible relief not to have missed anything (this was the opening number).
This is the perfect reaction to PF ❤ just silence and awe!
You definitely get it. PF are masters at creating music that puts you in a different head space. The music practically demands you to focus on it and nothing else. It is magic, in every sense of the word.
I absolutely adore David Gilmour ❤❤
Absolutely! He's the GOAT. ❤️
No words , just bliss.
They sound AMAZING live!!
Great reaction. One of Pink Floyd's masterpieces.

Love this band!

Just beautiful! A resounding thank you from across the pond!
If I could travel back in time to see one gig, it would be this. I've watched the dvd many times and I am so envious of those who were there. Thanks for another great reaction.
What a band legends
This one gets me every time, love it! Might be my go to Pink Floyd song besides on the turning away. Both epic!

I saw the Dark Side of the Moon tour in 1973 or 1974. My mind has been blown ever since.✌️🌻🌻
I saw them two times at the Olympic stadium in Montreal in 1994 for that tour ,it was magical, around 60 000 fans were there each night, great reaction
j etais la aussi
It's one of my alltime favourite songs from pink floyd! Love the album!
THANKS WILL! You got this in! This is one of my favorites by Floyd. 👍👋😁
This is a great song. I saw this tour in 1994.
A lot of guitarists can make a guitar sing. No one makes it sing like David Gilmour! I saw this show in Cleveland in 1994 and it's still one of the greatest nights of my life!

David Gilmour is a composer that plays guitar like a legend, everything contributes to the story, every note.
Any Floyd tune is a good time 🔥
Salvo, check out this song performed live in Gdansk (video on David Gilmour's official YT channel). Gilmour takes it to another level backed by an orchestra, also playing a beautiful acoustic outro accompanied by violins.
Great selection, Will! Love the reaction lol
Saw Pulse tour in DC at RFK Stadium. After the show it took us 2 hours to find the van...lolol. Slainte Salvo ☘️🚬
Had the same experience..but for another artist. My brother forgot where he parked the car and had to wait for almost everyone to leave!
@Aquapura970 bwahaha...the drive home a bit...precarious as well. I live in Richmond Va, so the drive from DC down 95 south was interesting
This song evokes such strong memories and emotions of my childhood. It takes me right back there in a way that I wish I could literally go back there. It reminds me of that saying, "you can never go home again".
Well said brother. Glad I'm not the only one. Good times.
That's my favorite by them, and I've heard them all over and over for decades.
IMO. One of the best songs of PF entire pallet. Certainly post Waters.
Some music you have to "listen" to and then there is music that "pulls you in" for the ride!
Thank you for a great virtual birthday present!
Sal, this entire album is THIS GOOD! It is one of my favorites and worth an album reaction. Just sayin'.
Perfection
Love the way you don't pause
Yeah, you need to listen to the whole of the Division Bell. You'd like it.
I always wonder how many people miss the scene and don't get it when it shows the guitars floating downstream presumably out into the ocean forever which is coupled along with the lyric, "time took our dreams away"? I mean he plays music so his guitars are his dreams and they're being taken away!
So glad I got to see this FABULOUS band at least once.
I was 16 when I first heard PF on the underground FM station living with my folks in the SF Bay Area in 1968.. and I looked the same as you. We Floydies just get older but our respect and awe to have been a part of the PF 'LIVE' generation will never leave... Welcome to the best music ever made.
A song that makes you reexamine your whole life.
The beautiful Spanish guitar at the end is just perfect.
I adore Pink Floyd and David Gilmour. End of story.
Nightwish do a fantastic tribute to this one...
It’s so simple but this is my absolute favorite solo/riff. That buttery nylon strung beauty
You may notice that the crowd was more subdued than normal. The reason is...this concert (Pulse) introduced "High Hopes" for the first time.

Great choice, the album cover photo was taken just outside Ely in Cambridgeshire. You can see Ely cathedral between the two heads.
listen to live at Gdansk, end with an acoustic guitar, epic
Tienes que ver el cover de Nightwish

Good evening Sir Salvog, can you react '' NOTHINGS GONNA STOP US NOW '' by : STARSHIP... plssssss thank you & godbless always 🙏❤
This was the last great Pink Floyd Album.
It was better Live!
And now you know why

Nightwish cover of this song is way better
