@@JohnHF1957 You are correct, but “Pulse Concert” is how the performances are usually referred to. Searching by “Division Bell tour” does not bring up the “Pulse” version of the song. Also, because the Division Bell tour covered so many cities, searching for a song using a Division Bell reference can bring up a performance in Miami or Los Angeles instead of the London performances at Earls Court at the tail end of the Division Bell tour. Again, you are 100% correct.
Oh hell, let’s just admit it - this is even further ahead of THIS time than it was of THAT time. We’re looking at supreme artistry on every level, from a perspective now of sad, repetitive, bean-counter mediocrity.
They always were, that was the thing that brought them the big success they got already in the mid 60s with Syd and a few years later with their concept show The Man and the Journey - no one else did quadrophonic sounds, light shows, tea drinking parties on stage, projections etc on a concert. It always was a happening.
They told their production crew to spare no expense in the stage/sound production. They pulled out all the stops and even today, 30 years later it is unmatched!
Yep!! Saw them twice on this tour and have never seen anything like it since. No cell phones in the audience..... now we get tons of cell phones in the crowd without this type of concert production 30 years later!!!! Crazy
I come to watch YOU sweetie! PF has been my favorite since I heard Dark Side of the Moon! I'd love to sit with you at a PF concert!! It's wonderful to see someone your age loving PF!!
I visit the "Pulse Concert" at 16.081994 in Hannover and it was Life Changing. No other Band can compare with Pink Floyd. Among the audience were the Scorpiens themselves, a world-famous rock band from Hannover and they said in an interview in the Hannover daily newspaper that this was the best concert they had ever experienced and that this performance could never be topped except by Pink Floyd themselves. That says a lot about the importance of Pink Floyd when other world-famous musicians say that about them. Both myself and my partnerin at the time were so moved by the concert that neither of us said a word in the car on the way home from the concert. We both had to process what we had just experienced and we both knew it was an epic experience. The epic benchmark for concerts was set by the Pulse Tour and no other band has surpassed it or even achieved it to this day. One of the many reasons why Pink Floyd is the best band of all time. Grettings from Hildesheim, Germany
I was at the The Division Bell concert in Hannover as well! 🤗 And yes... A life changing experience! Every concert afterwards had to live up to this standard and not one passed the bar!
@@hildesheimerbordegameplay6819 naja gut das wären heute 140€ hehe trotzdem immernoch günstig. Ich würde sogar 400€ bezahlen nur um pink floyd zusehen.
@@chrisb5339 ich auch aber leider durch den Tod von Richatd Wright nicht mehr möglich. Aber David Gilmour geht dieses Jahr wieder auf Tour und das in seinem Alter, da bist du dann je nach Platz schnell bei 400 €
This show, lights, lasers, sound was in 1994 and is STILL ahead of its time. Also, the bass player there is Guy Pratt, an accomplished session musician who toured with Pink Floyd following Roger Waters' departure from the band. Guy Pratt is currently in the band "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets" along with Pink Floyd's drummer, Nick Mason. They perform Pink Floyd's early material on tour.
Guy Pratt at year 1996 (two years after this concert) married Gala Wright, daughter of Pink Floyd original keyboard player Richard Wright (was in this video). They have a son, but leter was divorced.
Guy also played in David Gilmour band - along with Rick until he passed and also Phil Manzanera lead guitarist of Roxy Music - check out David Gilmour at Gdańsk especially the very last performance of ECHOES.
I've been to see Pink Floyd three times. The first time I saw them was in 1988. That concert totally blew me away. It was a visual and musical sensory overload. They also played Run like hell at the end and I was glad when that song was the last track. I couldn't have taken any more in. It was just too good. I was there with my father and we stood speechless in the crowd at the end of the concert with our mouths open. You have to imagine that you get over two hours of this show, musical perfection and visual sensory overload and you can hardly recover from it because almost every song is better than the next. That was almost forty years ago for me and yet I will never forget it. And all the bands I saw after that were just making music. Pink Floyd makes art
I've never seen them as Floyd, one of the great travesties of my life, however, I live in Rome and Gilmour is playing for 5 straight nights in September at the Circus Maximus. I''ll give you one guess where I'll be.
this concert is from 1994. I was 18 years old and I was lucky enough to find a ticket. This shows how Pink Floyd have always been pioneers in everything. pink floyd is the best rock band in history
absolutely right. Even now, the huge expense of putting on a show like that is out of reach of all but the top rannk of mega acts. In an interview, drummer Nick Mason said, that no one could do that again becase safety regulation out law some if the effects, which I realise I can;t mention because Stacey hasn't seen that bit yet :) And yes, We were some of those lucky enough to be at that very show, October 20th, 1994. Unforgettable
@@rabudmanI saw the show in Columbus Ohio. Our seats were half way up on right hand side and they were $45 if I remember correctly. My dad had a friend that bought 15 tickets in the front row, he sold those for $2000 each.
This is the finale for the entire Concert. They essentially turn on every single light in the place for the light show. This concert is the GOLD standard for presentation, choreography, and music.
Hi Stacy, I been kinda binge watching your reaction vids.. PF and LZ. I enjoy your take on yesteryear's Rock and Roll. Have a great evening, I'm hail8ng 8n from western Canada 👋 I have a suggestion Golden Earring Live "Radar Love" ua-cam.com/video/PsyaxRuVdqI/v-deo.htmlsi=RMkyUGjH0FAxQ8Ce
check out ONE OF THESE DAYS. first : 1972 Pompeii. second "Pulse" and third Dave ( solo Concert ) returning to Pompeii 2016 and playing the only song from 1972 Pink Floyd playing an instrument I have never seen. before.. ( must watch **********)
that bassman... is Guy pratt. Also responsible for the bassparts on " murder on the dancefloor' and ' like a prayer'. And countless others.... the man's a genius
I can’t help but add his incredible work on Michael Jackson’s epic “Earth Song” - his unique and assertive bass line amps that piece up to a whole other level of emotional impact. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@louissamson4609 pulse the wine glass at the start . only had heard it live when Dave found a street played while walking the street in Italy. Stop and ask him if he would play his glass at his concert that night. Can you image what thought playing that night
True But it's not on the Pulse show. It was for the On a Island tour that Gilmour did. It can be seen on the Live at Gdansk very well. Dont think it was performed on pulse with the glasses. If you listen to both, they are quite very different versions.@@jim1125-cv6yg
I'm old enough so I saw this concert in Sweden. The lighting programmer is a genius and it was stunning. Normally big bands have video monitors next to the stage showing the close ups but Pink Floyd didn't use them since the whole stage is the master piece and one should not pay too much attention to single musician - a brilliant choice and it paid dividends in experience.
Pink Floyd were pioneers of rock show visuals. They began in 1966 with kaleidoscopic liquid projections and strobe lighting, eventually adding pyrotechnics, lasers, synchronized film clips, graphic art and animated props.
This was the best 25 minutes I've spent on this Saturday listening to your reaction, thank you Stacey!!! Yes I was at this concert back in '94 with my best friend and it was epic, glad to see your enjoyment as well. This was their closing song of the night, which was absolutely perfect, what a mind-blowing experience it was!!! Every song from this Pulse concert was terrific. You need to sit down and listen to this complete concert in its entirety, you will NOT be disappointed!!!!!!
Before the Pulse tour was the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988. The same stage setup as Pulse, but more, especially the giant pig from the Animals cover. It was an outdoor stadium where they flew the pig from the stage to a crane outside the stadium. They performed for 2 1/2 hours and when they ended, we erupted in the crowd. Like you mentioned, we didn't want to leave and cheered ourselves horse for 20 minutes. They actually came back out and played for another 1 1/2 hours. It was an incredible night of 4 hours of Floyd. While Pulse was epic as well, it was half the duration and when I saw Roger Waters perform the The Wall on the 30th anniversary tour in 2010, it was a mere 90 minutes. To this day, that '88 show was the greatest night of my life.
I was fortunate to see the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour at Phoenix Memorial Stadium in April 1988. It will forever be the best and most memorable concert that I have attended.
Pink Floyd has countless amazing lyrics, but the line, “If they catch you in the backseat trying to pick her locks, they’re gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box, you better run!” has been burned in my mind since i first heard the song when I was 13 lol. For awhile, it genuinely made me afraid to get caught doing anything with my girlfriend (it didn’t hurt that her father had a VERY BIG gun collection that he loved to tell me all about) 😂
It's too bad the context of "The Wall" is lost when "Run Like Hell" is played in concert. If I remember correctly, it comes after Pink has established his "Marching Hammers" goons, and the "if they catch you in the back seat" line comes when a young mixed-race couple are "in the back seat," and the goons drag them out of the car and away. It's a very creepy vibe.
Just to give you an idea of how spectacular and expensive the visual effects on this tour were (I'm drawing from available material), "The concerts featured more elaborate special effects than previous tours, including two custom-designed airships. The arch-shaped stage and lighting were designed by Marc Brickman and Mark Fisher. There were three identical stages moving around North America and Europe, each of which was 55 feet long and featured a 130-foot (40 m) arch modeled after the Hollywood Bowl." ... "In all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people, and an initial investment of $4 million plus $25 million in operating costs for the stage alone. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert was attended by an average of 45,000 people. At the end of the year, the Division Bell Tour was announced as the biggest tour in history, with worldwide earnings of over £150 million (about $250 million). In the United States alone, it grossed $103.5 million from 59 concerts."
@@stephenbarrette610 The lamp used was actually meant for a lighthouse. Incredible production. I've worked on many leapfrog tours, but nothing on this scale.
@@alfiekelly5914 it was just extraordinary and the first time we went part of the seating collapsed and we had to come back to the rescheduled concert in London.
From the same concert the song "On the Run". An airplane flies across the ceiling and over the crow and explodes in the corner. Frigging coolest thing I have ever seen.
I was 22 when I saw this tour, and I remember that as we were leaving the stadium, everyone was singing Wish You Were Here. It was a magical moment in my life to be sure ✨️
@@rabudman I can’t remember the ticket price, but it was low enough for a broke college student like myself at the time to afford 3 tickets at their Camp Randall stadium show in Madison, WI … so they couldn’t have been too bad 🤷♂️
I have my ticket stub from the Yankee Stadium show on June 10, 1994. Box 309, row G cost $35.00 . I’ll bet that’s close to the cost of the Pulse Blu-Ray these days. I have no idea how I was able to safely drive out of the Bronx to my home in Connecticut that night. I was also at one of the 1988 shows in the Nassau Coliseum that were taped for the Delicate Sound of Thunder DVD. I can’t find the ticket stub for that show, though.
Pink Floyd’s record-breaking 14 night run at London’s Earls Court (12th October 1994) was marked with near tragedy in an event which had wide publicity across Britain (Pink Floyd news is usually not considered so!). The day started well enough for the band with press interviews and photographs of the band with various charities who stood to benefit from the shows - all the profits from the shows are going to a selection of 13 charities picked with difficulty by the band. However, less than a minute after the band had started playing Shine On You Crazy Diamond, a scaffolding stand (block 9) holding 1200 fans, collapsed, throwing hundereds of people 20 feet to the ground. Ninety-six people were injured, with 36 needing hospital treatment. Six were detained overnight with back, neck and rib injuries, but all were expected to make a full recovery. The show was immediately cancelled and re-scheduled for October 17th, one of their rest days. The stand was replaced and all other shows went ahead as planned. The common view of the fans in the stand was this: the sound effects tape was coming to a close with increasing volume; the lights went down and the rumbling noise kept building whilst Rick Wright and Jon Carin started playing. Then in what was initially felt to be great special effects the seats began moving, then buckling and falling. General pandemonium and fear arose, the house lights went up instantly (to the surprise and anger of Rick, Dave and Jon who weren’t intially aware of what was happening) and the rescue operation began. It took over an hour to free everyone from the twisted wreckage. Gilmour said afterwards: “We are very distressed at what happened and we are particularly concerned about the injured. We are also sorry to have disappointed those who came to see the show.” He later added: “I am angry and upset about what happened... it is extremely fortunate nobody died. When the accident happened I was at the back of the stage waiting to go on. I heard banging and presumed there was a fault on the PA system. We were about to start playing when the house lights came up. I was getting a bit frantic with people when someone said they were stopping the concert.” Gilmour also issued a statement assuring the charities that the accident would not affect the amount of money they were receiving. That was not the end of the story, however. The re-scheduled concert had traumatised fans being sat in exactly the same seats they’d had on the first night - giving them even more cause for complaint as it was reported that Earls Court were not giving due attention to claims for compensation for damaged clothing, time off work and medical bills. One good thing about this re-scheduled show for those in block 9 was that they were all given special t-shirts to ‘commemorate’ the incident and were all invited backstage after the show to meet all the band.
"They're pulling out all the stops for this performance". Umm, this is EVERY Pink Floyd performance. Saw them live in '94 and that is the best concert I have ever witnessed. Visually and musically!
Your reactions are so exciting! You add another level of enjoyment to watching Pink Floyd (and other bands). I've followed this group since the mid seventies and seen the '94 "Pulse" concert live in Vancouver Canada with dearest friends. It's such a joy to watch you discover this band and has me all fired up again, it is like on another level with your reaction. Absolutely superb!!! Thank you so much Stacey.
I have been in the music industry for over 30 years. As a musician I have toured with Cirque du Soleil, Roger Hodgson and many other quite big acts. As a music producer I found my niche in functional music for corporate events, movies and advertisements. Part of my story is Pink Floyd. I saw them live on the Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour in 1988 and several times during the Pulse (Division Bell) tour. These experiences not only hypnotised me but also cemented my will to be on stage and do amazing things with music. I am forever thankful that Pink Floyd has been such a vital part of my personal and professional inspiration. Throughout my career I have met dozens and probably close to a hundred light designers and operators. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them worships the lights on this tour. To many many light guys THIS is the pinnacle... the Mt. Everest of lights and show. Stacey, I am so happy that you get to experience it and I thank you that I get to re-live it again with you. Any by the way: 12:25 - most of us didn't leave the stadium right away. We were too mesmerised. I remember driving home in a car with three other people and not being able to even talk about what we had just witnessed. Again, Stacey, thank you so much for doing this.
Imagine your car being broken in the middle of a road somewhere in Türkiye and a small van stops by to help you out. The driver of the van is just another Turkish guy but he has a passenger inside whose name is David Gilmour. And he tells you and friends to get in. Then he invites you to drink something near the hotel he stays in. This is a true story that happened in the early 90s in Turkey.
I must have watched this concert 100 times and it brings tears to my eyes every time. Certainly a piece of music history. It's wonderful to see that it still has an overwhelming effect on young people today.
Went to 6 nights of the Earls Court run and leaving the concert was the same every night; the buses, streets and Underground filled with people just smiling at each other. Think everyone realised they had heard and saw something very special.
Love your Pink Floyd reaction videos, Stacey! This entire concert is epic but man...the encores of Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb and then Run Like Hell to close it out (all 3 of which you've reacted to haha)...wish I couldve been there! Like you, would've been peeling me off the floor haha. Look forward to seeing more of your reaction videos!! 😁
I Love Pink Floyd since the first time I heard them, over 50 years ago. If I got to go to only one concert....very hard to choose...but to be in Venice IN a gondola with my girl watching the Floyd play....WOW!
I love your Pink Floyd reactions Stacey! I was so lucky to see them 11 times on this tour and those shows were life changing. So much fun and I wish I could go back and do them all again. Keep up the Pink Floyd reactions..
Hi Stacey, when I recommended this song to you I said that this was the last song of the concert & I just knew that you would love it. It’s just lovely to see your reaction, it reminds me of the first time that I heard it. You’re right, it just takes your breath away. Love your reactions. A huge thank you from the UK. ❤️🏴🇬🇧
Pink Floyd has surround sound, can you imagine this song, Sorrow and Comfortably Numb coming at you from all angles! Those who went the Pulse concerts have all said the same, grown men crying, the crowd were left stunned and didn’t speak for ages as they were still processing what they had just witnessed and will never witness again. Will never be beaten, excellent reaction as always and welcome to the rabbit hole of Pink Floyd. Would recommend Coming Back to Life and Keep Talking from the same concert, both excellent, David showing off his skills 🎸
Confermo! Io ricordo ancora l'inizio del concerto a Roma di A momentary lapse of reason. Il crescendo iniziale di Shine on you crazy diamond mi è penetrato nelle ossa, il suono era talmente avvolgente , nitido, pulito e potente che era come nuotare tra le note. Avevo 18 anni ma il ricordo è nitido come fosse stato ieri.
That is definitely an epic way to close the concert, the concert itself is amazing, unforgettable, lucky ones those who was present there. I loved your reaction
They tore the house down with this incredible performance this concert was and still is setting the standard the level of musical excellence the lyrics the lighting everything is on point pure perfection they gave their fans just what they wanted and more breathtakingly brilliant there will never be never be anyone quiet like pink floyd I have been a fan since I was in my teens I'm now 74 years young listen to them all the time can't get enough keeps me young at heart love your reaction enjoy the journey it's definitely worth the trip
I was here at earls court London 1994 for this recording or part of it as there are bits from several nights at earls court on P. U. L. S. E. this was history in the making and i was there, thank you pink Floyd for being part of my life I'm now 67yrs old and saw FLOYD six times in my life from 1975 to 1994 and there will never be another band like this. Stacey Have just thought of another band for you to listen and watch GENESIS live at Wembley stadium and also When in Rome So many awsome tracks to choose from, hope you see this I think you will love them.
The closing song from the night, so many memories, my brother and I made the 500 odd mile road trip from Aberdeen in Scotland, down to London, getting stoned all the way 🤣 our car broke down just outside London, so we ended up on a recovery truck, but we got there, and still I regard this as the greatest show I will ever see.
I saw that tour, nothing to this day has topped it for me, it was truly that epic! Entire bottom face of the stage was subwoofer cabinets! And the LASERS ! Local airport had to re-route approaches and patterns. It truly is etched in my memory. What a time to be alive on this rock !!
It was the Pulse concert that got me in to them. Too young to go, but it was on TV late night and it had been recorded by my parents. I watched that video every chance I got and started on the journey with their back catalogue.
saw this 5 times indoor and out. After each time the crowd was so quite as people left, just stunned. 200,000 watts of power. ( 3 power trucks outside) 128 wireless speakers, mark Brinkman has done all of P.F's lighting since "The Wall" and Dave's 2 solo tours.( not as big production) They had 3 stages during their tour.Greg Phillinganes ( M.J. musical) director who played in Dave last tour) said (1994 Pulse) was on a whole different level. FYI: P.F. name comes from Pink Anderson & Floyd Council 2 blues players. Love the lyric from "wish you where here" as a record producer said ' We love your music by the way which one is pink/ show their sales pitch.
I suspect we will never see another concert of this caliber again. The guys from Industrial Light and Magic put the light show together. The same people who brought you the special effects in the first Star Wars movies. Two amazingly talented groups working together to create this masterpiece of art!
Why am I not surprised Industrial Light and Magic are involved, from the old classic TV Series, The Outer Limits, to many utterly classic movies and shows, they are the industry standard for making visual magic of all sorts, they truly are magicians and fit in well with the apex of concert presentations. Wow, it gets better and better with reactors loving this music...
I first saw Pink Flotd at the tender age of 8 when an older brother took me to see The Dark Side of the Moon back in 1973, I saw Floyd over 20 times throughout the years and saw this concert as well.
I had the privilege of being at the Pulse concert in Tempe Sun Devil stadium in 1994. It was fantastic. I also saw them in 1974 in Tucson for the Dark side of the Moon tour. You will never find a band to equal what they produced. I am 78 yrs old and watched the birth of rock and roll and have been to over 200 concerts over the yrs. I love many others as well. But none compares to Pink Floyd. I do have a suggestion for you to check out and she has been singing since she was very young. She just did two concerts in Vegas on Feb 29. Her name is Angelina Jordan. No one singer has moved me like her in my long life. I love your show very much. Gary
Stacey!! It's so nice to see someone completely get this concert for what it is!! I was at the first show of this tour at Joe Robbie stadium in Miami and it was as good as you think it was!! The reproduction of their live versions vs the studio is beyond perfect!! Even after almost 30 years, I still challenge anyone to find a better performance in concert history!! Also, the fact that you have taken notice to how unbelievable the light show performance is shows how much you appreciate this amazing production. Each song has it's own light show production which in itself is breathtaking!!!! So kudo's to you on you're ability to see and appreciate the best!!! IMHO, Gilmore is the BEST guitar player ever!!!
When I attended the concert of this tour in Rome in '94, believe me, I was moved several times by the intensity of the show. If there are people who get excited and moved watching it on video, imagine experiencing it in person: the almost deafening music that penetrates your body, the special effects... And then, this song, believe me, it's pure adrenaline. Coming out of the concert, you felt like racehorses ready to unleash the adrenaline... I've been to various concerts, Metallica, U2, Depeche Mode, AC/DC. In my opinion, perhaps AC/DC vaguely come close to the levels of those concerts (I'm not talking about the musical genre). I really like Depeche Mode, but they are far from those levels... The rest, instead, relies on giant screens and stops there. The search for the WOW effect that Pink Floyd used to create is no longer there. As you rightly said, even today in various concerts, we don't find performances like those of Pink Floyd. In '94, they were ahead by about 40 years! Eheheh. I forgot to mention, since it was known that this would be the last tour, I still have the ticket framed, and I keep it as if it were a sacred relic.😍
You have to experience this show live! Around 40,000 spectators, this laser show, the screen, the smell of hashish in the air, this infernal volume - none of this comes across on the DVDs, as good as they are.
I was there that year. They finished the concert with the encore songs Comfortably Numb followed by Run Like Hell. You were either screaming your head off, crying, or both.
I was at the concert the night this was filmed. Best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot. Also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam, Holland.
I was in London at the time doing work with Englands military, and was at three of the nights, including the night the concert was filmed. I love her reaction.
When you saw 'On the Turning Away', that was their Delicate Sound of Thunder your which I also enjoy. They were also about 10 years younger. You have a lot to look forward to.
I am 68 y/o and have been to many concerts over the years. Of all the bands that I have seen, I have NEVER missed a Pink Floyd tour concert! They always give a breathtaking show along with their fantastic music!
The sound system they had cannot be properly appreciated as it was an Olympic stadium quadraphonic sound system which just blows you away . Best concert ever. Wish you had been there with me because you truly get it. You feel it and experience it as I still do . Enjoy your wonderful journey .
I was lucky enough to be at this concert, what doesn't come over is how loud it was, crystal clear but wow, so loud and the lasers and lights were hypnotic. Pink Floyd at the golden era.
There is a video that I think is called “A brief history of Pink Floyd”. I’ve seen people react to it. I think you are far enough down this rabbit hole that it’s time you learned the history of this band. It really does help understand a lot of what they did musically. Honestly, I have no idea why a movie hasn’t been made about Pink Floyd. I mean, the movie about The Doors was really good, even if a lot of it was fictionalized. They wouldn’t have to fictionalize anything about Pink Floyd’s history. From what happened to Syd, to playing in an ancient colosseum in Pompeii , to a flying pig that shut down Heathrow airport for a couple of hours, to Roger’s meltdown in Montreal and his ultimate leaving the band, to Dave taking the helm. Everything this band did is legendary.
To be there was just insane. Stood outside the box office at 3:00 AM to get tickets.....got center stage 7th row. Im 60 now and it is still seared in my memory like I was there yesterday. And Floyd is one of the rare bands who are better live than the studio.
In fact Pink Floyd invented music, perfected the recording of music, created genius live show with out of this world lighting. Perfected the use of computers into these shows and until today they hypnotize people with their music. Unique and special and we will never be bored by their music. So, welcome to the club!
Well what can I say... You just said it all -- just marvelous! 🙂❤🙃 I've seen it this now for the umpteenth time and I STILL get emotional. Hope that it will stay for you like that as well. Love from Germany
I saw this tour at the 80,000 seat Silverdome in Pontiac, Mi, after trading two tickets to Barbara Steisand for two tix 6throw directly in front of David Gilmour. That show fucking changed my life. I took my teenaged niece, her first concert ever! She wont EVER top that!
I saw this concert three nights in a row in Philadelphia it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. No band will ever top this show it took you to another place in your soul. I love watching people react to any video of this concert for the first time
@MrsStaceyRPG-ON-TEL-EGRAMM Hi Stacey, thanks for commenting on my post. I love your emotional Pink Floyd reactions. They remind me of myself when I was a young man. I’m 64 now and still feel those emotion when I listen to them. I must admit I got a little watery eyed just watching you get watery eyed. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I loved the music back then, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin were my favorite bands. I was and still am a major vinyl guy and have all the great records from that era. Around the mid 80s I lost interest in the new music coming out, you know the typical “this music sucks now” guy. I was stuck in what’s now known as classic rock. Around 2006 I heard a song called Steam Engine by a band called My Morning Jacket and it changed my life. I became obsessed with this band, they brought back those old musical emotion in me. Long story short I’ve seen the live 35 times now and I’m heading down to Mexico in a couple weeks to go to a music festival they put on called One Big Holiday. This will be the sixth one they have done and it’s an amazing experience. Takes place at an all inclusive resort which is completely reserved for fans so it’s a real love fest for 4 days. I strongly suggest if they ever come near the area you live go see them. Here’s a video I request you react to if you can and if not just listen on your own. ua-cam.com/video/TSImGzuBwbA/v-deo.htmlsi=ubsnjcyO8vjGjdhe Cheers 🥂
Ive waited sooo long for this reaction. Brilliant yet again. I know you have done echos but please can you do it again but this time the it is the "last performance of Richard Wright" done (he died after that) it is so different from the one you did and such a lovely way they say bye to each other with their instruments
I was 14 and had been raised listening to Floyd when they performed "Pulse" in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the UK. I was so desperate to go see them but couldn't afford the ticket however my older friend went and said "it was the greatest show he had and will ever see".... nearly 30yrs later and he still stands by that statement. Thank God they Bought out the DVD 😘😘
Why would you think somebody gave Pink Floyd the idea for this??!! Pink Floyd IS the source. Genius flows FROM them. They don't budget for R&D; They ARE R&D
They were definitely operating on a whole subliminal level beyond what anybody else has ever had going on, outside the world of avant-garde art music, or modern opera productions (or architecture, of course).
I was there at the 2nd night of the Division Bell tour (Pulse was recorded on some of the final nights of that tour) in San Antonio. Was in the 7th row. I remember feeling the heat from the pyrotechnics during this song, especially the final blast at the end. Still my favorite show ever.
They COULD just walk off stage after an insane tune like Run Like Hell...........it's called a finale. I love how this band effects you, it does the same to me...💋
Pink Floyd has always been know for their shows (audio-visual). I believe that they thought that nobody wanted to see them standing around and making music, so they gave the audiences a visual representation of the music so that the spotlight was not solely on the musicians.
the australian pink floyd group is amazing as well ; i saw them in lyon (france) a few years ago and they are as good as pf : i saw pink floyd 2 times in belgium in the seventies ! amazing !!
Australian Pink Floyd is terrific. They played at David’s 50 Bday. I saw them the first time last year. They were amazing. My first Pink Floyd concert 14 yr old in 1977 the animals tour. Review any of the animals songs. They are my favorites
Pink Floyd was arguably the first band to introduce Kaleidoscopic lights into their sets in the UK's underground scene all those years ago in the 60's..
People forget to mention that speakers were set up around the stadiums for this tour so you heard it in surround sound. They also used special military grade gold lasers. They were so powerful they had to get FAA clearance during the shows so pilots would not be blinded. Epic!! Check out Sorrow from Pulse to see the gold lasers showcased.
They didn't pull out the stops for this - this was Pink Floyd EVERY time. Epic. Another perfect reaction. Thankyou :) If you can get to a Pink Floyd Experience concert I implore you to go to it. You will not be disappointed.
"Run Like Hell" is the song that closed Pink Floyd's concerts, also for this reason the musicians' facial expressions were relaxed and smiling, precisely because they were at the end of the concert. Attending a Pink Floyd concert was something that transcended the musical aspect alone: it was almost an "extrasensory experience" that involved your entire being. 🙂 As an Italian I will never be able to forget their concert held in Venice on July 15th, 1989: the stage was set up on a large floating "raft" moored in the center of the San Marco basin, in front of the Doge's Palace. The free concert was broadcast live on the first channel of the Italian National State broadcaster (RAI 1) worldwide, including the Soviet Union (delayed) and simultaneously in the two Germanys, with an estimated audience of 100 million viewers. The big problem for the organizers was that they completely got the spectator forecasts wrong, because they expected around 20,000 people and instead 200,000 arrived! This, clearly, in a place as beautiful and delicate as Piazza San Marco and the Venice Lagoon, created quite a few problems. I remember part of the audience who attended the concert on dozens and dozens of small/medium sized boats around the floating stage, as well as a completely packed Piazza San Marco. For technical reasons, due to live television needs, the availability of satellites for world viewing and advertising, the concert was limited to just ninety minutes, with some songs cut or completely eliminated compared to the original setlist (only fourteen songs were played instead of the twenty-three scheduled in the tour). The closing of the concert was marked by the traditional large fireworks display that characterizes the Redentore festival and which recorded an intensity of one hundred and seven decibels, exceeding the permitted limits. David Gilmour said: «The Venice show was great fun, but very tense and unnerving. We had a specific length of show to do; satellite transmission forced us to have an absolutely precise program. We had the list of songs and we had shortened them, which we had never done before. I had a big red digital clock on the floor in front of me and the start time of each song written on a piece of paper. If we were getting close to the start time of the next song I just had to turn off the one we were playing. We had a lot of fun, but the city authorities who had agreed to provide security, sanitation and food completely reneged on everything they were supposed to do and then tried to blame us for all the subsequent problems." As always, excellent reaction Stacey, emotional and exciting. 🥰
The Pulse Concert happened 30 years ago and is just another example of Pink Floyd being ahead of their time.
It’s a better light show than anyone even since then. Now it’s basically all big TV screens.
It wasn't a "Pulse Concert". PULSE is the video, the concerts were The Division Bell Tour.
@@JohnHF1957 You are correct, but “Pulse Concert” is how the performances are usually referred to. Searching by “Division Bell tour” does not bring up the “Pulse” version of the song. Also, because the Division Bell tour covered so many cities, searching for a song using a Division Bell reference can bring up a performance in Miami or Los Angeles instead of the London performances at Earls Court at the tail end of the Division Bell tour. Again, you are 100% correct.
Oh hell, let’s just admit it - this is even further ahead of THIS time than it was of THAT time.
We’re looking at supreme artistry on every level, from a perspective now of sad, repetitive, bean-counter mediocrity.
@@ikshields It was so far ahead we've yet to see it.
Pink Floyd shows weren't JUST a concert . They weren't JUST an experience . THEY WERE A FULL ON PRODUCTION that had to be experienced !!!
They always were, that was the thing that brought them the big success they got already in the mid 60s with Syd and a few years later with their concept show The Man and the Journey - no one else did quadrophonic sounds, light shows, tea drinking parties on stage, projections etc on a concert. It always was a happening.
They told their production crew to spare no expense in the stage/sound production. They pulled out all the stops and even today, 30 years later it is unmatched!
Yep!! Saw them twice on this tour and have never seen anything like it since. No cell phones in the audience..... now we get tons of cell phones in the crowd without this type of concert production 30 years later!!!! Crazy
Effects crew: "So what's the budget, whatya want?"
Floyd: "Yes."
I come to watch YOU sweetie! PF has been my favorite since I heard Dark Side of the Moon! I'd love to sit with you at a PF concert!! It's wonderful to see someone your age loving PF!!
Oddly the beautiful blue haze comes from the audience. Saw that show in Chicago.and there is no way the band didn't have a contact high.
As far as I remember, VW sponsored the tour.
I visit the "Pulse Concert" at 16.081994 in Hannover and it was Life Changing. No other Band can compare with Pink Floyd. Among the audience were the Scorpiens themselves, a world-famous rock band from Hannover and they said in an interview in the Hannover daily newspaper that this was the best concert they had ever experienced and that this performance could never be topped except by Pink Floyd themselves. That says a lot about the importance of Pink Floyd when other world-famous musicians say that about them. Both myself and my partnerin at the time were so moved by the concert that neither of us said a word in the car on the way home from the concert. We both had to process what we had just experienced and we both knew it was an epic experience. The epic benchmark for concerts was set by the Pulse Tour and no other band has surpassed it or even achieved it to this day. One of the many reasons why Pink Floyd is the best band of all time. Grettings from Hildesheim, Germany
I was at the The Division Bell concert in Hannover as well! 🤗 And yes... A life changing experience! Every concert afterwards had to live up to this standard and not one passed the bar!
Wieviel hast du damals für die Karte bezahlt wenn ich fragen darf?
@@chrisb5339 Hallo Chris, aus heutiger Sicht gesehen im Vorverkauf lächerliche 70 DM.
@@hildesheimerbordegameplay6819 naja gut das wären heute 140€ hehe trotzdem immernoch günstig. Ich würde sogar 400€ bezahlen nur um pink floyd zusehen.
@@chrisb5339 ich auch aber leider durch den Tod von Richatd Wright nicht mehr möglich. Aber David Gilmour geht dieses Jahr wieder auf Tour und das in seinem Alter, da bist du dann je nach Platz schnell bei 400 €
This show, lights, lasers, sound was in 1994 and is STILL ahead of its time.
Also, the bass player there is Guy Pratt, an accomplished session musician who toured with Pink Floyd following Roger Waters' departure from the band. Guy Pratt is currently in the band "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets" along with Pink Floyd's drummer, Nick Mason. They perform Pink Floyd's early material on tour.
At the end of last year Mason and his band were in Prague (Czech Republic) and the concert was absolutely great!
Guy Pratt at year 1996 (two years after this concert) married Gala Wright, daughter of Pink Floyd original keyboard player Richard Wright (was in this video). They have a son, but leter was divorced.
That bit about Guy Pratt is a copy and paste of the comment I made on Olavity's reaction to this same video a month ago!
Guy also played in David Gilmour band - along with Rick until he passed and also Phil Manzanera lead guitarist of Roxy Music - check out David Gilmour at Gdańsk especially the very last performance of ECHOES.
Guy Pratt was a bassist for Australian band Icehouse before joining Pink Floyd.
I've been to see Pink Floyd three times. The first time I saw them was in 1988. That concert totally blew me away. It was a visual and musical sensory overload. They also played Run like hell at the end and I was glad when that song was the last track. I couldn't have taken any more in. It was just too good. I was there with my father and we stood speechless in the crowd at the end of the concert with our mouths open. You have to imagine that you get over two hours of this show, musical perfection and visual sensory overload and you can hardly recover from it because almost every song is better than the next. That was almost forty years ago for me and yet I will never forget it. And all the bands I saw after that were just making music. Pink Floyd makes art
I've never seen them as Floyd, one of the great travesties of my life, however, I live in Rome and Gilmour is playing for 5 straight nights in September at the Circus Maximus. I''ll give you one guess where I'll be.
this concert is from 1994. I was 18 years old and I was lucky enough to find a ticket. This shows how Pink Floyd have always been pioneers in everything. pink floyd is the best rock band in history
1000 percent not even close!
absolutely right. Even now, the huge expense of putting on a show like that is out of reach of all but the top rannk of mega acts. In an interview, drummer Nick Mason said, that no one could do that again becase safety regulation out law some if the effects, which I realise I can;t mention because Stacey hasn't seen that bit yet :)
And yes, We were some of those lucky enough to be at that very show, October 20th, 1994. Unforgettable
Do you remember the cost of the tickets?
@@rabudman I 'm Italian and I saw the concert in the Italian stage. However I think they were around 55 euros at the time. best money I've ever spent
@@rabudmanI saw the show in Columbus Ohio. Our seats were half way up on right hand side and they were $45 if I remember correctly. My dad had a friend that bought 15 tickets in the front row, he sold those for $2000 each.
This is the finale for the entire Concert. They essentially turn on every single light in the place for the light show.
This concert is the GOLD standard for presentation, choreography, and music.
But it was not the last date in Earl's Court. 9 days later it was their very last tour performance of their career.
In the same breath ONE OF THESE DAYS from the Pulse Concert would be great 🙂
100%, it is jaw dropping!
Hi Stacy, I been kinda binge watching your reaction vids.. PF and LZ.
I enjoy your take on yesteryear's Rock and Roll.
Have a great evening, I'm hail8ng 8n from western Canada 👋
I have a suggestion

Oh yeah
LA CANCIÓN MAS INFLUYENTE Y HEY YOU
check out ONE OF THESE DAYS. first : 1972 Pompeii. second "Pulse" and third Dave ( solo Concert ) returning to Pompeii 2016 and playing the only song from 1972 Pink Floyd playing an instrument I have never seen. before.. ( must watch **********)
that bassman... is Guy pratt. Also responsible for the bassparts on " murder on the dancefloor' and ' like a prayer'. And countless others.... the man's a genius
I can’t help but add his incredible work on Michael Jackson’s epic “Earth Song” - his unique and assertive bass line amps that piece up to a whole other level of emotional impact. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Also married Rick Wright's daughter!
And the bassist is Rick Wright’s son in law
The first song of the concert was "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". Definitely a masterpiece. You would probably need a tissue.
But as first listen, I'd go with the Studio version. Less stripped down and more powerful emotion wise.
@@louissamson4609 pulse the wine glass at the start . only had heard it live when Dave found a street played while walking the street in Italy. Stop and ask him if he would play his glass at his concert that night. Can you image what thought playing that night
True But it's not on the Pulse show. It was for the On a Island tour that Gilmour did. It can be seen on the Live at Gdansk very well. Dont think it was performed on pulse with the glasses. If you listen to both, they are quite very different versions.@@jim1125-cv6yg
I thought they started with High Hopes.
@@docopoper I saw "1994 Pulse" 5 times and all started with "shine on"
I'm old enough so I saw this concert in Sweden. The lighting programmer is a genius and it was stunning. Normally big bands have video monitors next to the stage showing the close ups but Pink Floyd didn't use them since the whole stage is the master piece and one should not pay too much attention to single musician - a brilliant choice and it paid dividends in experience.
Probably the best concert I've ever seen. I'm so glad I was able to see this in Toronto. I would suggest watching the entire pulse concert.
Yeah, you need to see the whole Pulse concert thing start to finish
This was the best I've ever been to. Saw them 3 times during The Division Bell Tour, Raleigh, Clemson & DC.
Saw them in Toronto too but 10 yrs earlier, wish I had seen this one too.
Hi I saw this show, the whole pulse show was awesome, i got a sunburn on that last explosion 🤣
I was there.
Your enthusiasm for Pink Floyd warms my heart. So glad you discovered this unbelievable band. I have enjoyed this band for years, it never gets old.
The pulse performance is the best presentation of a band in history, not only for music but for stage and everything together makes it unique
Pink Floyd were pioneers of rock show visuals. They began in 1966 with kaleidoscopic liquid projections and strobe lighting, eventually adding pyrotechnics, lasers, synchronized film clips, graphic art and animated props.
This was the best 25 minutes I've spent on this Saturday listening to your reaction, thank you Stacey!!! Yes I was at this concert back in '94 with my best friend and it was epic, glad to see your enjoyment as well. This was their closing song of the night, which was absolutely perfect, what a mind-blowing experience it was!!! Every song from this Pulse concert was terrific. You need to sit down and listen to this complete concert in its entirety, you will NOT be disappointed!!!!!!
Before the Pulse tour was the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988. The same stage setup as Pulse, but more, especially the giant pig from the Animals cover. It was an outdoor stadium where they flew the pig from the stage to a crane outside the stadium. They performed for 2 1/2 hours and when they ended, we erupted in the crowd. Like you mentioned, we didn't want to leave and cheered ourselves horse for 20 minutes. They actually came back out and played for another 1 1/2 hours. It was an incredible night of 4 hours of Floyd. While Pulse was epic as well, it was half the duration and when I saw Roger Waters perform the The Wall on the 30th anniversary tour in 2010, it was a mere 90 minutes. To this day, that '88 show was the greatest night of my life.
I was fortunate to see the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour at Phoenix Memorial Stadium in April 1988. It will forever be the best and most memorable concert that I have attended.
next one from Pulse concert 1994 - Coming back to life = 3 good guitar solo . 😎👍
Pink Floyd has countless amazing lyrics, but the line, “If they catch you in the backseat trying to pick her locks, they’re gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box, you better run!” has been burned in my mind since i first heard the song when I was 13 lol.
For awhile, it genuinely made me afraid to get caught doing anything with my girlfriend (it didn’t hurt that her father had a VERY BIG gun collection that he loved to tell me all about) 😂
It's too bad the context of "The Wall" is lost when "Run Like Hell" is played in concert. If I remember correctly, it comes after Pink has established his "Marching Hammers" goons, and the "if they catch you in the back seat" line comes when a young mixed-race couple are "in the back seat," and the goons drag them out of the car and away.
It's a very creepy vibe.
@@ShroomKeppie You remember correctly. In the context of the album/film, it's very disturbing.
Just to give you an idea of how spectacular and expensive the visual effects on this tour were (I'm drawing from available material), "The concerts featured more elaborate special effects than previous tours, including two custom-designed airships. The arch-shaped stage and lighting were designed by Marc Brickman and Mark Fisher. There were three identical stages moving around North America and Europe, each of which was 55 feet long and featured a 130-foot (40 m) arch modeled after the Hollywood Bowl." ... "In all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people, and an initial investment of $4 million plus $25 million in operating costs for the stage alone. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert was attended by an average of 45,000 people. At the end of the year, the Division Bell Tour was announced as the biggest tour in history, with worldwide earnings of over £150 million (about $250 million). In the United States alone, it grossed $103.5 million from 59 concerts."
The mirror ball alone cost about £50,000

Me too and I was in probably the best position to see it open, absolutely extraordinary. As you said.
From the same concert the song "On the Run". An airplane flies across the ceiling and over the crow and explodes in the corner. Frigging coolest thing I have ever seen.
Hope the crow survived!!
I was 22 when I saw this tour, and I remember that as we were leaving the stadium, everyone was singing Wish You Were Here. It was a magical moment in my life to be sure ✨️
Do you remember how much tickets cost?
@@rabudman I can’t remember the ticket price, but it was low enough for a broke college student like myself at the time to afford 3 tickets at their Camp Randall stadium show in Madison, WI … so they couldn’t have been too bad 🤷♂️
@@rabudman I remember paying 75 dollars per ticket for row 6 and we were right in front of David Gilmore.
I have my ticket stub from the Yankee Stadium show on June 10, 1994. Box 309, row G cost $35.00 . I’ll bet that’s close to the cost of the Pulse Blu-Ray these days. I have no idea how I was able to safely drive out of the Bronx to my home in Connecticut that night. I was also at one of the 1988 shows in the Nassau Coliseum that were taped for the Delicate Sound of Thunder DVD. I can’t find the ticket stub for that show, though.
Pink Floyd’s record-breaking 14 night run at London’s Earls Court (12th October 1994) was marked with near tragedy in an event which had wide publicity across Britain (Pink Floyd news is usually not considered so!). The day started well enough for the band with press interviews and photographs of the band with various charities who stood to benefit from the shows - all the profits from the shows are going to a selection of 13 charities picked with difficulty by the band. However, less than a minute after the band had started playing Shine On You Crazy Diamond, a scaffolding stand (block 9) holding 1200 fans, collapsed, throwing hundereds of people 20 feet to the ground. Ninety-six people were injured, with 36 needing hospital treatment. Six were detained overnight with back, neck and rib injuries, but all were expected to make a full recovery. The show was immediately cancelled and re-scheduled for October 17th, one of their rest days. The stand was replaced and all other shows went ahead as planned.
The common view of the fans in the stand was this: the sound effects tape was coming to a close with increasing volume; the lights went down and the rumbling noise kept building whilst Rick Wright and Jon Carin started playing. Then in what was initially felt to be great special effects the seats began moving, then buckling and falling. General pandemonium and fear arose, the house lights went up instantly (to the surprise and anger of Rick, Dave and Jon who weren’t intially aware of what was happening) and the rescue operation began. It took over an hour to free everyone from the twisted wreckage.
Gilmour said afterwards: “We are very distressed at what happened and we are particularly concerned about the injured. We are also sorry to have disappointed those who came to see the show.” He later added: “I am angry and upset about what happened... it is extremely fortunate nobody died. When the accident happened I was at the back of the stage waiting to go on. I heard banging and presumed there was a fault on the PA system. We were about to start playing when the house lights came up. I was getting a bit frantic with people when someone said they were stopping the concert.” Gilmour also issued a statement assuring the charities that the accident would not affect the amount of money they were receiving.
That was not the end of the story, however. The re-scheduled concert had traumatised fans being sat in exactly the same seats they’d had on the first night - giving them even more cause for complaint as it was reported that Earls Court were not giving due attention to claims for compensation for damaged clothing, time off work and medical bills. One good thing about this re-scheduled show for those in block 9 was that they were all given special t-shirts to ‘commemorate’ the incident and were all invited backstage after the show to meet all the band.
Hi Stacey! Glad you are back with Pink Floyd! Lets see what you have to say about this one. But I'm sure you'll like it! :) Have a great weekend! :)
"They're pulling out all the stops for this performance". Umm, this is EVERY Pink Floyd performance. Saw them live in '94 and that is the best concert I have ever witnessed. Visually and musically!
I saw this tour in Washington DC.Best concert I ever saw.
Your reactions are so exciting! You add another level of enjoyment to watching Pink Floyd (and other bands). I've followed this group since the mid seventies and seen the '94 "Pulse" concert live in Vancouver Canada with dearest friends. It's such a joy to watch you discover this band and has me all fired up again, it is like on another level with your reaction. Absolutely superb!!! Thank you so much Stacey.
Wow thank you for your wonderful comment! I am so happy you enjoy my reactions! I’m loving Pink Floyd so much and I’m happy to document this journey!
I have been in the music industry for over 30 years. As a musician I have toured with Cirque du Soleil, Roger Hodgson and many other quite big acts. As a music producer I found my niche in functional music for corporate events, movies and advertisements. Part of my story is Pink Floyd. I saw them live on the Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour in 1988 and several times during the Pulse (Division Bell) tour. These experiences not only hypnotised me but also cemented my will to be on stage and do amazing things with music. I am forever thankful that Pink Floyd has been such a vital part of my personal and professional inspiration.
Throughout my career I have met dozens and probably close to a hundred light designers and operators. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them worships the lights on this tour. To many many light guys THIS is the pinnacle... the Mt. Everest of lights and show.
Stacey, I am so happy that you get to experience it and I thank you that I get to re-live it again with you.
Any by the way: 12:25 - most of us didn't leave the stadium right away. We were too mesmerised. I remember driving home in a car with three other people and not being able to even talk about what we had just witnessed.
Again, Stacey, thank you so much for doing this.
Imagine your car being broken in the middle of a road somewhere in Türkiye and a small van stops by to help you out. The driver of the van is just another Turkish guy but he has a passenger inside whose name is David Gilmour. And he tells you and friends to get in. Then he invites you to drink something near the hotel he stays in.
This is a true story that happened in the early 90s in Turkey.
Stacey, no other band that you will critique will ever come close to Pink Floyd, it was the best concert I have ever seen live, still buzzing in 2024.
Saw them live in ‘94. I still think about it almost everyday.
I must have watched this concert 100 times and it brings tears to my eyes every time. Certainly a piece of music history. It's wonderful to see that it still has an overwhelming effect on young people today.
Went to 6 nights of the Earls Court run and leaving the concert was the same every night; the buses, streets and Underground filled with people just smiling at each other. Think everyone realised they had heard and saw something very special.
Gheez!! 14 nights at Earls Court. Wow. Still have my ticket stub for Toronto July 6, 1994. $42.50.
I saw Pink Floyd in Adelaide, Australia and is still the best concert I have ever seen. Quadraphonic sound and lighting was mindblowing.
I saw them in Philadelphia in 1994 division Bell tour. I was only 15 years old at the time. It’s been my favorite ever since.
Love your Pink Floyd reaction videos, Stacey! This entire concert is epic but man...the encores of Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb and then Run Like Hell to close it out (all 3 of which you've reacted to haha)...wish I couldve been there! Like you, would've been peeling me off the floor haha. Look forward to seeing more of your reaction videos!! 😁
"Coming back to life" is beautiful Stacey the guitar at the beginning is subtle and amazing. Should react to that at some point.
I Love Pink Floyd since the first time I heard them, over 50 years ago. If I got to go to only one concert....very hard to choose...but to be in Venice IN a gondola with my girl watching the Floyd play....WOW!
Stacey? Pink Floyd? I'm here for it! Saw this tour and STILL the best concert I've ever been to, and it's not even close.
I love your Pink Floyd reactions Stacey! I was so lucky to see them 11 times on this tour and those shows were life changing. So much fun and I wish I could go back and do them all again. Keep up the Pink Floyd reactions..
Every concert of Pink Floyd is like the pulse. The best concert you can ever see!!!
Hi Stacey, when I recommended this song to you I said that this was the last song of the concert & I just knew that you would love it. It’s just lovely to see your reaction, it reminds me of the first time that I heard it. You’re right, it just takes your breath away. Love your reactions. A huge thank you from the UK. ❤️🏴🇬🇧
Pink Floyd has surround sound, can you imagine this song, Sorrow and Comfortably Numb coming at you from all angles! Those who went the Pulse concerts have all said the same, grown men crying, the crowd were left stunned and didn’t speak for ages as they were still processing what they had just witnessed and will never witness again. Will never be beaten, excellent reaction as always and welcome to the rabbit hole of Pink Floyd. Would recommend Coming Back to Life and Keep Talking from the same concert, both excellent, David showing off his skills 🎸
Confermo! Io ricordo ancora l'inizio del concerto a Roma di A momentary lapse of reason. Il crescendo iniziale di Shine on you crazy diamond mi è penetrato nelle ossa, il suono era talmente avvolgente , nitido, pulito e potente che era come nuotare tra le note. Avevo 18 anni ma il ricordo è nitido come fosse stato ieri.
That is definitely an epic way to close the concert, the concert itself is amazing, unforgettable, lucky ones those who was present there. I loved your reaction
They tore the house down with this incredible performance this concert was and still is setting the standard the level of musical excellence the lyrics the lighting everything is on point pure perfection they gave their fans just what they wanted and more breathtakingly brilliant there will never be never be anyone quiet like pink floyd I have been a fan since I was in my teens I'm now 74 years young listen to them all the time can't get enough keeps me young at heart love your reaction enjoy the journey it's definitely worth the trip
I was here at earls court London 1994 for this recording or part of it as there are bits from several nights at earls court on P. U. L. S. E. this was history in the making and i was there, thank you pink Floyd for being part of my life I'm now 67yrs old and saw FLOYD six times in my life from 1975 to 1994 and there will never be another band like this.
Stacey
Have just thought of another band for you to listen and watch GENESIS live at Wembley stadium and also When in Rome
So many awsome tracks to choose from, hope you see this I think you will love them.
You will never again see a concert of this magnitude. I saw this show in Dallas. My head is still reeling.
I saw Rodgers and Floyd in the 80s live.
I'll never forget it.
Unbelievable performances.
They always make me pick up my bass and play along.
The closing song from the night, so many memories, my brother and I made the 500 odd mile road trip from Aberdeen in Scotland, down to London, getting stoned all the way 🤣 our car broke down just outside London, so we ended up on a recovery truck, but we got there, and still I regard this as the greatest show I will ever see.
I saw that tour, nothing to this day has topped it for me, it was truly that epic! Entire bottom face of the stage was subwoofer cabinets! And the LASERS ! Local airport had to re-route approaches and patterns. It truly is etched in my memory. What a time to be alive on this rock !!
It was the Pulse concert that got me in to them. Too young to go, but it was on TV late night and it had been recorded by my parents. I watched that video every chance I got and started on the journey with their back catalogue.
I was there and i have no words!
saw this 5 times indoor and out. After each time the crowd was so quite as people left, just stunned. 200,000 watts of power. ( 3 power trucks outside) 128 wireless speakers, mark Brinkman has done all of P.F's lighting since "The Wall" and Dave's 2 solo tours.( not as big production) They had 3 stages during their tour.Greg Phillinganes ( M.J. musical) director who played in Dave last tour) said (1994 Pulse) was on a whole different level. FYI: P.F. name comes from Pink Anderson & Floyd Council 2 blues players. Love the lyric from "wish you where here" as a record producer said ' We love your music by the way which one is pink/ show their sales pitch.
I suspect we will never see another concert of this caliber again. The guys from Industrial Light and Magic put the light show together. The same people who brought you the special effects in the first Star Wars movies. Two amazingly talented groups working together to create this masterpiece of art!
Why am I not surprised Industrial Light and Magic are involved, from the old classic TV Series, The Outer Limits, to many utterly classic movies and shows, they are the industry standard for making visual magic of all sorts, they truly are magicians and fit in well with the apex of concert presentations. Wow, it gets better and better with reactors loving this music...
Spectacular finale....well done Stacey.
Really Pink Floyd is the greatest band to step on stage or studio. Time will really never catch up with their music.
I first saw Pink Flotd at the tender age of 8 when an older brother took me to see The Dark Side of the Moon back in 1973, I saw Floyd over 20 times throughout the years and saw this concert as well.
I had the privilege of being at the Pulse concert in Tempe Sun Devil stadium in 1994. It was fantastic. I also saw them in 1974 in Tucson for the Dark side of the Moon tour. You will never find a band to equal what they produced. I am 78 yrs old and watched the birth of rock and roll and have been to over 200 concerts over the yrs. I love many others as well. But none compares to Pink Floyd. I do have a suggestion for you to check out and she has been singing since she was very young. She just did two concerts in Vegas on Feb 29. Her name is Angelina Jordan. No one singer has moved me like her in my long life. I love your show very much. Gary
Money and us and them need to be reacted to 🙏

Stacey!! It's so nice to see someone completely get this concert for what it is!! I was at the first show of this tour at Joe Robbie stadium in Miami and it was as good as you think it was!! The reproduction of their live versions vs the studio is beyond perfect!! Even after almost 30 years, I still challenge anyone to find a better performance in concert history!! Also, the fact that you have taken notice to how unbelievable the light show performance is shows how much you appreciate this amazing production. Each song has it's own light show production which in itself is breathtaking!!!! So kudo's to you on you're ability to see and appreciate the best!!! IMHO, Gilmore is the BEST guitar player ever!!!
Having this entire concert including encores and bonus features and footage on Blu-ray in the home library is the cure for whatever ails us!
Their live concerts have the lighting as well as quadrophonic surround sound. Wonderful experience.
Well Stacey, again you did not disappoint me. I love the emotion this music brings to you. And I always cry together with you. :)
When I attended the concert of this tour in Rome in '94, believe me, I was moved several times by the intensity of the show. If there are people who get excited and moved watching it on video, imagine experiencing it in person: the almost deafening music that penetrates your body, the special effects... And then, this song, believe me, it's pure adrenaline. Coming out of the concert, you felt like racehorses ready to unleash the adrenaline... I've been to various concerts, Metallica, U2, Depeche Mode, AC/DC. In my opinion, perhaps AC/DC vaguely come close to the levels of those concerts (I'm not talking about the musical genre). I really like Depeche Mode, but they are far from those levels... The rest, instead, relies on giant screens and stops there. The search for the WOW effect that Pink Floyd used to create is no longer there. As you rightly said, even today in various concerts, we don't find performances like those of Pink Floyd. In '94, they were ahead by about 40 years! Eheheh.
I forgot to mention, since it was known that this would be the last tour, I still have the ticket framed, and I keep it as if it were a sacred relic.😍
I was at this exact concert and believe me I was crying my eyes out at this point !
You have to experience this show live! Around 40,000 spectators, this laser show, the screen, the smell of hashish in the air, this infernal volume - none of this comes across on the DVDs, as good as they are.
I was there that year. They finished the concert with the encore songs Comfortably Numb followed by Run Like Hell. You were either screaming your head off, crying, or both.
I was at the concert the night this was filmed. Best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot. Also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam, Holland.
Earl's Court holds 20000 people, so they had to play 14 nights. They could have booked many more. This was the end for Pink Floyd.
I have the DVD the book inside said they sold out 23 nights
@@garysheffield5445 Hmm it was 14 nights strange that the book says 23 nights
@@paulwilkinson8347True they did so u might be right supposed to be 15 then
I was in London at the time doing work with Englands military, and was at three of the nights, including the night the concert was filmed. I love her reaction.
I could be wrong it's been awhile but it seems like that was it I will have to find it again
Just love the whole concert just wish I could have been there
When you saw 'On the Turning Away', that was their Delicate Sound of Thunder your which I also enjoy. They were also about 10 years younger. You have a lot to look forward to.
I am 68 y/o and have been to many concerts over the years. Of all the bands that I have seen, I have NEVER missed a Pink Floyd tour concert! They always give a breathtaking show along with their fantastic music!
The sound system they had cannot be properly appreciated as it was an Olympic stadium quadraphonic sound system which just blows you away .
Best concert ever.
Wish you had been there with me because you truly get it. You feel it and experience it as I still do .
Enjoy your wonderful journey .
Allora avevano il turbo sound, per l'epoca il più avanzato sistema sul mercato. Da allora per un decennio tutti volevano solo turbo sound!
I was lucky enough to be at this concert, what doesn't come over is how loud it was, crystal clear but wow, so loud and the lasers and lights were hypnotic. Pink Floyd at the golden era.
There is a video that I think is called “A brief history of Pink Floyd”. I’ve seen people react to it. I think you are far enough down this rabbit hole that it’s time you learned the history of this band. It really does help understand a lot of what they did musically.
Honestly, I have no idea why a movie hasn’t been made about Pink Floyd. I mean, the movie about The Doors was really good, even if a lot of it was fictionalized. They wouldn’t have to fictionalize anything about Pink Floyd’s history. From what happened to Syd, to playing in an ancient colosseum in Pompeii , to a flying pig that shut down Heathrow airport for a couple of hours, to Roger’s meltdown in Montreal and his ultimate leaving the band, to Dave taking the helm. Everything this band did is legendary.
To be there was just insane. Stood outside the box office at 3:00 AM to get tickets.....got center stage 7th row. Im 60 now and it is still seared in my memory like I was there yesterday. And Floyd is one of the rare bands who are better live than the studio.
In fact Pink Floyd invented music, perfected the recording of music, created genius live show with out of this world lighting. Perfected the use of computers into these shows and until today they hypnotize people with their music. Unique and special and we will never be bored by their music. So, welcome to the club!
Also the first band to use a state of the art, 5 channel PA System, no one had a better sound system than Pink Floyd.
Well what can I say... You just said it all -- just marvelous! 🙂❤🙃
I've seen it this now for the umpteenth time and I STILL get emotional. Hope that it will stay for you like that as well.
Love from Germany
I saw this tour at the 80,000 seat Silverdome in Pontiac, Mi, after trading two tickets to Barbara Steisand for two tix 6throw directly in front of David Gilmour. That show fucking changed my life. I took my teenaged niece, her first concert ever! She wont EVER top that!
I saw this concert three nights in a row in Philadelphia it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. No band will ever top this show it took you to another place in your soul. I love watching people react to any video of this concert for the first time
I knew this one would be for you. Great reaction full of emotion. “Don’t leave” 😂 Stay on your journey into the great Pink Floyd.
@MrsStaceyRPG-ON-TEL-EGRAMM Hi Stacey, thanks for commenting on my post. I love your emotional Pink Floyd reactions. They remind me of myself when I was a young man. I’m 64 now and still feel those emotion when I listen to them. I must admit I got a little watery eyed just watching you get watery eyed. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I loved the music back then, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin were my favorite bands. I was and still am a major vinyl guy and have all the great records from that era. Around the mid 80s I lost interest in the new music coming out, you know the typical “this music sucks now” guy. I was stuck in what’s now known as classic rock. Around 2006 I heard a song called Steam Engine by a band called My Morning Jacket and it changed my life. I became obsessed with this band, they brought back those old musical emotion in me. Long story short I’ve seen the live 35 times now and I’m heading down to Mexico in a couple weeks to go to a music festival they put on called One Big Holiday. This will be the sixth one they have done and it’s an amazing experience. Takes place at an all inclusive resort which is completely reserved for fans so it’s a real love fest for 4 days. I strongly suggest if they ever come near the area you live go see them. Here’s a video I request you react to if you can and if not just listen on your own. ua-cam.com/video/TSImGzuBwbA/v-deo.htmlsi=ubsnjcyO8vjGjdhe
Cheers 🥂
You are spot-on about this song and the entire concert! Otherworldly! Gimour is from another planet!
Ive waited sooo long for this reaction. Brilliant yet again. I know you have done echos but please can you do it again but this time the it is the "last performance of Richard Wright" done (he died after that) it is so different from the one you did and such a lovely way they say bye to each other with their instruments
As I also suggested David Gilmour at Gdańsk - ECHOES
I was 14 and had been raised listening to Floyd when they performed "Pulse" in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the UK. I was so desperate to go see them but couldn't afford the ticket however my older friend went and said "it was the greatest show he had and will ever see".... nearly 30yrs later and he still stands by that statement. Thank God they Bought out the DVD 😘😘
What a lyric: If they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks they'll send you back to mother in a cardboard box.
Why would you think somebody gave Pink Floyd the idea for this??!!
Pink Floyd IS the source.
Genius flows FROM them.
They don't budget for R&D;
They ARE R&D
You have to accept that, being architecture students, their “vision” of “a performance” was at a level most people wouldn’t know.
They were definitely operating on a whole subliminal level beyond what anybody else has ever had going on, outside the world of avant-garde art music, or modern opera productions (or architecture, of course).
I was there at the 2nd night of the Division Bell tour (Pulse was recorded on some of the final nights of that tour) in San Antonio. Was in the 7th row. I remember feeling the heat from the pyrotechnics during this song, especially the final blast at the end. Still my favorite show ever.
And yet there is STILL so much to say after each Pink Floyd Reaction !!! LOL Keep Floyd Going Stacey !
They COULD just walk off stage after an insane tune like Run Like Hell...........it's called a finale. I love how this band effects you, it does the same to me...💋
Pink Floyd has always been know for their shows (audio-visual). I believe that they thought that nobody wanted to see them standing around and making music, so they gave the audiences a visual representation of the music so that the spotlight was not solely on the musicians.
I was there. This show was the most sublime musical experience I've had in all my 50 years.
The best light show that I have ever seen so far.
the australian pink floyd group is amazing as well ; i saw them in lyon (france) a few years ago and they are as good as pf : i saw pink floyd 2 times in belgium in the seventies ! amazing !!
Australian Pink Floyd is terrific. They played at David’s 50 Bday. I saw them the first time last year. They were amazing. My first Pink Floyd concert 14 yr old in 1977 the animals tour. Review any of the animals songs. They are my favorites
Pink Floyd was arguably the first band to introduce Kaleidoscopic lights into their sets in the UK's underground scene all those years ago in the 60's..
I couldn't agree more! I wish I was there too!❤ I'm sure multiple people are with us on this. Beautiful show. 😍
People forget to mention that speakers were set up around the stadiums for this tour so you heard it in surround sound. They also used special military grade gold lasers. They were so powerful they had to get FAA clearance during the shows so pilots would not be blinded. Epic!! Check out Sorrow from Pulse to see the gold lasers showcased.
Wow didn't know that thanks
Pretty sure Earl's court has a roof , so the pilots would have been fine my friend 👍
@@royzamcg8046 Many of the Pulse tour were in open air venues in N America.
@@royzamcg8046Open air in Germany had military grade.
They didn't pull out the stops for this - this was Pink Floyd EVERY time. Epic. Another perfect reaction. Thankyou :) If you can get to a Pink Floyd Experience concert I implore you to go to it. You will not be disappointed.
Pink Floyd amazing.👍👍👍
My favorite Pink Floyd song without a doubt! Ive been to several of their shows and they were all epically theatrical performances!
"Run Like Hell" is the song that closed Pink Floyd's concerts, also for this reason the musicians' facial expressions were relaxed and smiling, precisely because they were at the end of the concert.
Attending a Pink Floyd concert was something that transcended the musical aspect alone: it was almost an "extrasensory experience" that involved your entire being. 🙂
As an Italian I will never be able to forget their concert held in Venice on July 15th, 1989: the stage was set up on a large floating "raft" moored in the center of the San Marco basin, in front of the Doge's Palace. The free concert was broadcast live on the first channel of the Italian National State broadcaster (RAI 1) worldwide, including the Soviet Union (delayed) and simultaneously in the two Germanys, with an estimated audience of 100 million viewers. The big problem for the organizers was that they completely got the spectator forecasts wrong, because they expected around 20,000 people and instead 200,000 arrived! This, clearly, in a place as beautiful and delicate as Piazza San Marco and the Venice Lagoon, created quite a few problems. I remember part of the audience who attended the concert on dozens and dozens of small/medium sized boats around the floating stage, as well as a completely packed Piazza San Marco.
For technical reasons, due to live television needs, the availability of satellites for world viewing and advertising, the concert was limited to just ninety minutes, with some songs cut or completely eliminated compared to the original setlist (only fourteen songs were played instead of the twenty-three scheduled in the tour).
The closing of the concert was marked by the traditional large fireworks display that characterizes the Redentore festival and which recorded an intensity of one hundred and seven decibels, exceeding the permitted limits.
David Gilmour said: «The Venice show was great fun, but very tense and unnerving. We had a specific length of show to do; satellite transmission forced us to have an absolutely precise program. We had the list of songs and we had shortened them, which we had never done before. I had a big red digital clock on the floor in front of me and the start time of each song written on a piece of paper. If we were getting close to the start time of the next song I just had to turn off the one we were playing. We had a lot of fun, but the city authorities who had agreed to provide security, sanitation and food completely reneged on everything they were supposed to do and then tried to blame us for all the subsequent problems."
As always, excellent reaction Stacey, emotional and exciting. 🥰
Watched the Venice concert in the bulldog, in the dam...never forget it..wish I was there...😂😂
