      @@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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      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."

    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.

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.

    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 🎸

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

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.😍

    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.

      @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

    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. 🥰
