In 3 years I will be 90years old and I have been a fan for about 50 years I have probably watched "Pulse" once a month since it came out I just light one up and turn up the volume,, ,,bliss
I got my dad to watch this. He was old school and thought rock was evil and Pink Floyd was punk rock lol. I put it on for him and he really seemed to like it, although I couldn't get him to admit it. A week later I got home from school and he's watching it by himself! He said "this David Gilmour is incredible! I love this!". My dad would have been 90 this year......RIP dad
_Good music is ageless._ It doesn't *have to be* old or new, *or* on the Top 20. ua-cam.com/video/xYSVFy2UHaA/v-deo.html (for the younger crowd) ua-cam.com/video/g5ciBWNwjsY/v-deo.html
you just need two things : a good band ( and Pink Floyd is the best band ever) and someone who has good taste in music ( someone who can appreciate the music vibes) simple, clear ..^^
David doesn't just pay lip service to the plight of those suffering and in need. Eg he sold his house in London for £4million and gave it all to homeless charity. He's a thoroughly decent person (as well as one of the all-time greatest guitarists). Love the video. It does make one emotional.
the ONLY guitarist ive ever heard in my 55 plus years who can make the guitar speak all sorts of emotions and seems to do it with little effort ... the man is a true god ... the first solo in the live performance of echoes in the gdansks vid ...holy shit ! its sad to joy in notes man ! just magic !!
Pink were and are great and perfection when I saw the live. But Queen were the greatest live band ever to go and watch. Freddie did not need fancy lights and gimmicks. I love Pink Floyd and I watched them many times live. But never underestimate QUEEN for bringing an audience together. They (with Mercury) were the greatest band ever to play a stadium.
As far as I'm concerned Pink Floyd is the greatest band that there ever was. They are truly a timeless masterpiece. There are musicians and then there is Pink Floyd.
Couldn't agree more. They truly are legends and I'm quite sure people will still be listening to them 100, 1000, even 5000 years from now (assuming the human race survives that long, anyway).
Pink Floyd is a open your heart experience and then your mind opens up to receive the messages...Im 63 years old and am watching you watch this and smiles, tears and happiness are all present at once...Enjoy your journey sweetie..
Being brought to tears by David Gilmour's playing is completely understandable. He sculpts, paints, sings, creates poetry, and tells stories when he plays.
@@jarodatkinson5306 I understand where you're coming from, because Roger Waters IS better in some ways. BUT, I think every member of the band were the best in their own unique way, and that's what made PF perhaps the greatest band of all time.
No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away from the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?
I have said it many times. On the Turning Away is one of their best songs ever. It's in the same league as Time and Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here. I'm not exaggerating at all.
Like, but Comfortably Numb ... Suppose it depends upon the performance. Sorry, even then (DSoT) CN was classic, OTTA was great. The CN solo steals everything.
Gilmour is often more about what he leaves out... there's a real skill in that. Some will find this hard to believe and it's not to everyones tastes, but I think the most melodic solos in rock are from Marty Friedman in his Megadeth days... Tornado of Souls is a modern classical masterpiece.
@@isaachernandez8995 I generally find Waters' music completely devoid of emotion. I don't like his solo material and The Wall, which he mostly wrote, is probably one of my least favourite Floyd albums, though The Final Cut surpasses it for sheer awfulness. However, The Final Cut is really a Waters solo album. I'll never forgive Waters for his bullying of Rick Wright, either.
Thank you for acknowledging the backing singers. They are the un-sung heroes of Pink Floyd. They contribute to the overall wall of sound in a way that would definitely be missed if they were not there.
Watching this VHS tape as a teenager like I did, over and over again, I developed such a crush on those 3 backing singers. There was a point when I would have been able to tell you their names, off the top of my head.
For the longest time I couldn't listen to Pink Floyd because I would start sobbing. Hearing them is an instant flashback to so many memories of early teen years, coming of age, the first experience of death (my best friend among others), healing and traversing life. So many years ago, and I'm taken back each and every time. The power of music.
Interesting that he is placed front and centre stage. A fully deserved position. He has mastered "life", whilst playing a part in the life of so many around the globe.
@@jameshinton429 yup, that is what they said about Van Gogh during his lifetime - he never sold a painting. Appreciation of unique artistry is a subjective challenge beyond the less perceptive of minds.
I know... Gilmour isn't the fastest guitarplayer ever, but his sense of intonation, timing, and emotion makes his guitar sound like an opera singer or gospel singer would use their voice... Impressive. This always brings tears to my eyes.
David Gilmore is beautiful. ❤. I regret so very much, not seeing Pink Floyd, when we were all so young, strong, and shining, crazy diamonds. ⚓️. There is nothing compared to David Gilmore’s passionate guitar, wailing out to us. Tears for sure. 🥹
me too... 1994 they where in Italy for Division Bell Tour (last tour by Pink Floyd).... I begged my university mates to go at the Rome concert at Flaminio stadium.... but everyone was on it's own ... we were from 21 to 23 years old aproximately... from then on never begged anyone, I'll ask and then go jus by myself... but still miss the maybe best time to see David Gilmour guitar solo's
David Gilmour has brought so many people so much joy with his fantastic guitar solos...many of which are some of the best ever done. Timeless music, period.
I saw Pink Floyd on one of the first shows on this tour, about a week or so after A Momentary Lapse Of Reason was released. The entire audience sang along with the final chorus. Think about it, just a week after the song was released 75,000 people had memorized the lyrics. The look of surprise and pride on David Gilmour’s face was awesome to see
Pink Floyd - philosophers, artists, dreamers, musical impresarios of the highest calibre. The reason they touch us so deeply is the content, they make music for the heart, mind and soul. Love your Floyd reactions as you really feel the music and hear the lyrics.
Ya there’s a reason why there’s Floyd, yes, rush, tool and a handful of others. Among so much garbage out we have to have some quality music worthwhile to dig into.
@@michaellambert5223 And Radiohead, but of course music is subjective. I like everything from classical to metal - because good music that moves you is good music - no matter what 'genre'. At least IMO.
Agree with you. I particularly enjoy how it's such a gentle song, but the final line of the last verse is a sledgehammer imperative- not "we shouldn't be turning away" or "why do we turn away" but instead, "no more turning away". A demand, a declaration. Always just jumped out at me.
The absolute best part of all Floyd music, are the subtle nuances of notes and sounds. My brother and I grew up on Floyd. The Animals concert at Miami Baseball stadium, 1977, was very unique for both of us. We saw each other once all night l. The following day, I asked him if he felt the sound effects and the actual atmosphere in the stadium JOIN THE EFFECTS? He said yes, I was standing under the west side sound effects speakers, and I like wise told him I had been standing at the East side sound effects speakers. What energy generating songs. They cranked the upper levels of your rock and roll soul!
One of the most soul-searching songs ever written. Lots of love songs between two people have been written, but this one deals with love among the world's inhabitants. Pink Floyd was thinking on a global scale with this one.
Soldiers In Ams, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Free Bird, Bomber Medley, Eddie VH, Brian May, Richie Sambora. Especially when live, these songs can all meld the band with the audience. They can even, in a proper live video, move the soul from a bad latitude to a very, very welcome attitude-on demand. Oorah.
I've been playing drums for 40 years and have always really liked Pink Floyd, among many genres... I never gave it much thought until now.... Nick Mason deserves a LOT of credit for his amazing pulse!
Yep, I’ve been playing drums for around 40 years myself and totally agree. Nick Mason enhances which ever song they put in front of him, no showboating, he puts the good of the song before anything else and that to me makes him one of the greats.
Do the haters know they can watch the entire concert uninterrupted on UA-cam? This is a REACTION video. Watching you made me tear up at the same time you did. It's wonderful to see young people experience Pink Floyd. Thank you.
Boomer, Class of 1956. We grew up with this. Very pleased for you having just heard it for your first time. Hits hard, doesn't it. Rock on little Sister, rock on.
The first time I remember hearing this song was on the radio and it had been merged with the Roger Waters song The Tide Is Turning from his album Radio K.A.O.S. I'd always assumed they were one long song, they fit together so well. I've made an MP3 which starts with the final verse of Four Minutes, joined with The Tide Is Turning, joined with On The Turning Away for 16minutes of bliss!
Can we talk about the ability of the guitar as an instrument to convey emotion, like no other? This is why rock and roll was king for so many decades; and David Gilmore was perhaps the best at making his guitar sing, cry and speak in such a soulful manner. It's all in the "bends" that he is so masterful at, that squeezes the last drop of feeling into his playing. Thanks for a great reaction, RR. Love your channel. Cheers!
Pink Floyd was my first concert. David’s guitar playing is like having a best friend or a loved one holding you and telling you everything is going to be ok. ✨❤️🥲
Pink Floyd was the highest expression of the soul of rock music! Their music sends a very deep message that is very emotional to the core of your soul! They are the best rock band of all time!
I wouldn't worry about the folks who complain about the pausing of the video, as you said, these are 'reactions' videos: we are here for is to watch 'your' reactions to our favorite music. Plus you also provide links to the actual performance videos that they can go watch. Oh, great job.
I saw Pink Floyd at a private pre tour gig in the 1970s in Cambridge England at Granchester meadows....which is parkland just outside of the city. It was amazing and I became a fan instantly.....and after 50 years they are still probably one of the best bands the UK has ever produced. Please listen to Umaguma which was the double album they were going on tour with. I was a teenager then....and now as a 70 year old I still hold them in such high regard that words will never be able to express their influence on world music. Floyd forever !.
Its nice to see the younger generation appreciating what we old timers grew up on, I am 67 now. Sadly there will never be music like this ever again and us boomers were very blessed to have experienced it as it was created. Not only are the band performers magical but the quality of sound in a live performance is unmatched anywhere in the world. They have the best sound engineers I have ever seen and in the earlier days included Alan Parsons for example. Got to see them once in concert and it was EPIC.
And we took it for granted, like the sky is blue and amazing music will always be around. There was no bad music, Kind of miss the 80's except for the hair and shoulder pads.
One of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs... and the lyrics are so appropriate for the current times. David makes his guitar weep then scream for hope. Let there be no more turning away.
1. You used the word ‘ethereal’ in the most appropriate manner. 2. You clearly ‘feel’ music in general and Pink Floyd/David Gilmour in particular. 3. Your willingness to be ‘slaughtered’ by those who die a thousand deaths if you interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo is admirable. I see that comment far too often and it is said just to show how much people hold David’s gift in reverence. I love watching your reactions. They are emotionally honest, intelligent, nuanced and musically informed. I don’t know that we could ask for more.
I will dream of this stunningly beautiful woman, digging Pink Floyd... in a good way... not a bad mcnasty way. Does my heart good to see the torch being passed
Richard Wright, may he be in the great gig in the sky, added so much of that beauty with those keyboards. Thank you again for allowing us to hear these songs with your ears
Im 43 now and I thank my moms for always playing music in house in the 80s growing up, I truly appreciate these musicians, the talent was so diverse and unique, I completely missed this jam, thanks for the reaction I felt every note, sound, vibration, it was powerful.
Your reactions to Pink Floyd and David Gilmour are priceless. It's how I've felt about them for 50 years. The first time I saw them was 1975 and the experience changed me forever. Thanks for sharing.
I consider myself extremely blessed to have been able to see them perform the Division bell twice and a momentary lapse of reason once live. Words cannot describe the feeling you get from such experiences.
Took my dad to see them in the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. It was an experience ... for the rest of his life. Had never saw him so enthralled. During the concert and for years afterwards. On the Turning Away and Us and Them would have him lying down, eyes closed, blocking whatever passage he happened to be in at the time. Best thing I ever did for my dad. Probably the best thing I ever did for me. Kids reacting to PF and DG make me happy.
@@evanhayward1502 Also saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour ... In Dallas... My eyes always fill up with tears watching this song as it takes me back to a night back in '87.... Of course then there's the opposite end of that spectrum at the culmination of the concert when all the fireworks blow at the end of Run Like Hell.... Still makes me stand up in my room.... It's pretty silly, but as we get older, we gotta do something to keep the inner child going...
Holy cow, Rogue, you do know how to put the sun up there in the sky! I gotta respect a lady who is getting to understand Pink Floyd! Thank you for another wonderful reaction. I have yet to talk about this, but you're helping in vast ways to help me navigate some horrifying days and events. Thank you. ☮️🌹🎼🎸🎶🎹🎵🎶
This is how music must be. The girl is truly shocked and touched by the supremacy of this song and this band especially by the lead guitar which is like send from heaven.
It's cool that you picked up the significance of the vocal trio to the Pink Floyd sound, especially live. They not only add layers and accents, they inject a passion and sometimes a piercing hauntingness to the whole assembly. Then, of course, they DO get their spotlight track. If you haven't yet, check out the 1994 Pulse concert version of "Great Gig in the Sky"! It will absolutely do the thing that the art is about. "Joy and sorrow... sides of a coin."
This is a man that sold his legendary guitar collection (as well as his very beloved black strat) for the homeless. Great reaction. One of my favorite songs because of the meaning.
If I remember correctly for the instruments and equipment he sold he raised $21 million for climate change charities, could say he put his money where his mouth is 👍
I don't believe the black strat was that 'beloved'. It was in the Hard Rock Cafe for many years. It was also mucked about with a lot. It had at least three necks and he chopped a lump out of it to put a sustainer bridge in. He joked that the only original part on it when it was sold was the bridge plate. I think he far preferred his red strat or his beat up Tele. He certainly used them far more than the black strat. The only reason it went for so much is that it was the guitar he used on Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here
You nailed it; the comment about the backup singers being "angelic". An amazing guitar solo, playing, as great solos should, over, under, alongside, and in circles around, the basic melody and rhythm of the song.
I'm so happy that the younger generation listens to music that brought us up. Pink Floyd will NEVER become obsolete. This video makes me really happy to know that classic rock still has a place in todays generation. It really does. Great video young lady 👏 👍 ❤🇨🇦💯
David Gilmour's heart is wired directly into his guitar. It's what makes him great. I love your authentic reactions and It is so satisfying to me to see your appreciation for his unmatched talent. David Gilmour has been one of my favorite musicians since my childhood. Seeing younger folks encounter his work for the first time and really get it does this old man's heart good!
It was awesome...good thing I lived close by....Delicate Sound of Thunder is the first live album by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was recorded over five nights at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York, in August 1988.
Used to love playing the Delicate Sound of Thunder “HIFI VHS” video through the home theatre system back in the day. Awesome concert. Wore out some CD’s too.
Yes dear. This is David. Master of his craft. One more thing - You need to note and acknowledge there are NO bad Pink Floyd songs. Their music ranges from good to excellent. Some of it is immortal. No bad songs, none. The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best albums ever, period. EVER!!!
In 1967 as a young 7th grader I called the local Ventura Ca radio station and won the contest (be the 5th caller thing). They sent me a dozen singles (45's). One was the then hit "love is all around" by the Troggs. It's B side was "Wide Thing". There was an unusual record I hadn't heard of. It was the 2nd recording of a new band named "Pink Floyd". The song was "See Emily Play". I became an instant fan. They were my favorite band. Still are...!!!
It blows my mind that there are people that have never experienced David and Pink. Seeing you react brings me back to my first hearing of them. It changed or certainly became the music that seemed to reflect the deepness of one part of the beat of my soul. The reason you are blown away is that this music doesn't just pass into your ears, but it reaches down your neck like a grasping hand and grabs at your heart muscle and squeezes the hell-out-of-it!
@@6yjjk I agree. Most so-called Christian Rock doesn't explain what it is be a Christian at all. It is just a lot of emotional (or attempts to be emotional) nonsense that promotes nothing positive from the scriptures that I can think of. And the music is weak and bland. I'll just pick and choose what I find to be right from the panorama of music out there and forget about the corporate attempts to create a pre-defined market based on ignorance.
David is amazing and the rest of the band are just as good as he is. Sometimes we forget how good they are. A subtle little base riff or a drum flourish or RIC on the keys bringing it up another notch. A great band.
That's when you see and hear a master at work! One of the greatest if not THE GREATEST guitar player in the world. It makes you tear up just listening !!! Kudos
His guitar work is about emotion whether it be from happiness or pain. His soul, what it feels is shown through his playing. He plays from the soul. He like many of the great ones were not shredders but they took you on a ride that meant something
As a 54 year old whose favorite band is Pink Floyd, I love and appreciate that you love and appreciate this! Try David again with Fat Old Sun - Live in Gdańsk. Yo won’t regret it. ☮️❤️

Right. A soul has no age, it is timeless
Excellent comment, I couldn't agree more. I love watching younger people appreciate the musical treasure I have loved for so many years.
HOW TRUE!! I just made a similar comment to her on another PF reaction, All my daughters are affectianados of a time before their own era
She didn't hear this...she felt it emotionally.
The way music is supposed to be.
I don't even remember where I first read this, but "Music is what feelings sound like."
you just need two things : a good band ( and Pink Floyd is the best band ever) and someone who has good taste in music ( someone who can appreciate the music vibes) simple, clear ..^^
The way good music is...
Gilmour isn't a "shredder" but his solos convey more emotion than a lot of the guitarists out there. Fast isn't always better (in my opinion).
“David Gilmour Could Do More With One Note Than Today's Shredders Can Do With a Dozen” -Dave Mustaine
@@AshleySmith19912 ''Dave says more in the silence between notes than todays guitarists can say in a hundred notes'' - minners71
Agree... Gary Moore is another super emotional player... but can also really shred, but not a shred for shreddings sake type
Totally agree with you
"David Gilmour can make a ukulele sound like a Stradivarius" - Bob Ezrin, producer of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
David doesn't just pay lip service to the plight of those suffering and in need. Eg he sold his house in London for £4million and gave it all to homeless charity. He's a thoroughly decent person (as well as one of the all-time greatest guitarists). Love the video. It does make one emotional.
Plus he auctioned many of his guitars for charity
A David Gilmour solo is like a song by itself. All the notes are like words telling a story about sadness and joy, sorrow and hope.
the ONLY guitarist ive ever heard in my 55 plus years who can make the guitar speak all sorts of emotions and seems to do it with little effort ... the man is a true god ... the first solo in the live performance of echoes in the gdansks vid ...holy shit ! its sad to joy in notes man ! just magic !!
he does not play the guitar ... he makes it speak ...
Exactly. ❤

Being brought to tears by David Gilmour's playing is completely understandable. He sculpts, paints, sings, creates poetry, and tells stories when he plays.
David is honestly the most emotive player I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. I love his playing.
If you don't get brought to tears, then you are a person without feelings.

And with everything you say being true, he's still no Roger waters.... What a band PF was....`
@@jarodatkinson5306 I understand where you're coming from, because Roger Waters IS better in some ways. BUT, I think every member of the band were the best in their own unique way, and that's what made PF perhaps the greatest band of all time.
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away from the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
Powerful lyrics
September 2024 we must stop turning away
I have said it many times. On the Turning Away is one of their best songs ever. It's in the same league as Time and Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here. I'm not exaggerating at all.
Like, but Comfortably Numb ... Suppose it depends upon the performance.
Sorry, even then (DSoT) CN was classic, OTTA was great. The CN solo steals everything.
I agree completely! Sorrow is another song that really gets to me.
But echos, syd or dogs are even higher league.
I listen to On the Turning Away & Sorrow way more than Time & Wish You Were Here. Those guitar solos seal the deal
On the Turning Away moves me more than Comfortably Numb does, because of the lyrics. They just seem so pertinent to me.
Gilmour’s solos are without question some of the most melodic in rock. It’s an ice cream buffet for the ears.
Ear candy !!!
Gilmour is often more about what he leaves out... there's a real skill in that. Some will find this hard to believe and it's not to everyones tastes, but I think the most melodic solos in rock are from Marty Friedman in his Megadeth days... Tornado of Souls is a modern classical masterpiece.
I couldn’t agree more Just Me.. and his best solo I think is comfortably numb from the pulse tour 94
There’s not a musician alive now or in the past, that can do what David Gilmour does And evoke those feelings. He’s just incredible.
He is, but Andy Latimer of Camel is also amazing.
And Jeff Beck
Alex Lifeson of Rush is also amazing! Gilmour & Lifeson are my two favourite guitarists. 🇬🇧
There is another musician that can produce similar emotions: Roger Waters.
@@isaachernandez8995 I generally find Waters' music completely devoid of emotion. I don't like his solo material and The Wall, which he mostly wrote, is probably one of my least favourite Floyd albums, though The Final Cut surpasses it for sheer awfulness.

I feel the same Michael! Good to see the young un's enjoy this as much as we did :)
I'm with you sir, Floyd is sometimes lost in the shuffle, even with the "back in the day" crowd like me. Excellent band , one of their best songs IMO
Great assessment

Is that Rachel Fury at 10:03 ? Goosebumps or what?!!
There are modern bands that acknowledge and spotlight these integral singers, the Killers come to mind
Backing singers were always a huge part of the Pink Floyd 'sound'. The songs just would not have the same impact without them.

One of the most underappreciated Pink Floyd songs and guitar solos. So good!
Agree with you. I particularly enjoy how it's such a gentle song, but the final line of the last verse is a sledgehammer imperative- not "we shouldn't be turning away" or "why do we turn away" but instead, "no more turning away". A demand, a declaration. Always just jumped out at me.
What a great song.
I totally agree, when I am asked about my favorite Pink Floyd`s song and I answer this one, everybody thinks I am crazy
Absolutely and I don't get why it doesn't get the credit it deserves.
It’s my personal favorite from Pink Floyd, the live version from DSOT specifically
Gilmour is a guitar god. His sound captivates and liberates the soul.
I m monotheistic. Great guitar playing.
Why you make a god so little?
He ist an really good Player, but a god? Camon
No-one can bend a note quite like Mr Gilmour. An absolute masterclass.
SRV could😘
Bend it like Gilmour
Rogers Waters....nuff said
@@Run_With_The_Kittens - Waters was bass guitar... Whole different critter, that.
The absolute best part of all Floyd music, are the subtle nuances of notes and sounds.
My brother and I grew up on Floyd. The Animals concert at Miami Baseball stadium, 1977, was very unique for both of us.
We saw each other once all night l. The following day, I asked him if he felt the sound effects and the actual atmosphere in the stadium JOIN THE EFFECTS? He said yes, I was standing under the west side sound effects speakers, and I like wise told him I had been standing at the East side sound effects speakers. What energy generating songs. They cranked the upper levels of your rock and roll soul!
One of the most soul-searching songs ever written. Lots of love songs between two people have been written, but this one deals with love among the world's inhabitants. Pink Floyd was thinking on a global scale with this one.
Soldiers In Ams, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Free Bird, Bomber Medley, Eddie VH, Brian May, Richie Sambora. Especially when live, these songs can all meld the band with the audience. They can even, in a proper live video, move the soul from a bad latitude to a very, very welcome attitude-on demand. Oorah.
Let's hope the message is not lost
Most Floyd songs speak to the world 🧐🎶🎶🎶🥰
I've been playing drums for 40 years and have always really liked Pink Floyd, among many genres... I never gave it much thought until now.... Nick Mason deserves a LOT of credit for his amazing pulse!
It sounds deceptively easy, but to capture that subtlety and feel takes real skill.
he used a 47 piece drum kit!
Vastly underrated drummer
Yep, I’ve been playing drums for around 40 years myself and totally agree. Nick Mason enhances which ever song they put in front of him, no showboating, he puts the good of the song before anything else and that to me makes him one of the greats.
Great subtleties - absolutely intrinsic to the Pink Floyd sound. The opening of time on those mini-toms is absolute genius.
When you closed your eyes and let it take you to your own special place... You get it 😊
Do the haters know they can watch the entire concert uninterrupted on UA-cam? This is a REACTION video.
Watching you made me tear up at the same time you did. It's wonderful to see young people experience Pink Floyd. Thank you.
The seventies was such a great time to be a teenager. Driving parents nuts with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Ah, the memories.
Boomer, Class of 1956. We grew up with this. Very pleased for you having just heard it for your first time. Hits hard, doesn't it. Rock on little Sister, rock on.
This song meant a lot to me when i was homeless and people would look at with disgust til i met a retired marine Vietnam veteran who gave me hope
🤠 Everyone should listen to the words of this song! 👍
see on UA-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
The first time I remember hearing this song was on the radio and it had been merged with the Roger Waters song The Tide Is Turning from his album Radio K.A.O.S. I'd always assumed they were one long song, they fit together so well. I've made an MP3 which starts with the final verse of Four Minutes, joined with The Tide Is Turning, joined with On The Turning Away for 16minutes of bliss!
One of the hardest songs to listen to...to really listen to.
Pause whenever the hell you want , if I could even remember the first time I've heard this song , the first hear is an untimely gift.
Can we talk about the ability of the guitar as an instrument to convey emotion, like no other? This is why rock and roll was king for so many decades; and David Gilmore was perhaps the best at making his guitar sing, cry and speak in such a soulful manner. It's all in the "bends" that he is so masterful at, that squeezes the last drop of feeling into his playing. Thanks for a great reaction, RR. Love your channel. Cheers!
Gilmour.
@@RushfanUK 1000 pardons,lol
You hit it with the "singing guitar". That's exactly what I always felt in terms of David's playing style. :D
guessing you might have never heard a talented mouth organ
You nailed it bro...absolutely correct he reminds me of Clapton in a way.
That moment at 10:03 when Margaret Taylor hits those notes just takes the song to another level.
And also the same notes David played... unbelievable.
;I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE CRYING EVERY SINGLE TIME I LISTEN TO IT....🙏🇬🇷🧿🌀🌐😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌
Bloody great to see a whole new generation discovering this wonderful music and getting fully blown away.
It's just so amazing to see generation after generation getting blown away
Agree im 58 and you can be sure my two children knows about PF ❤
I love Pink Floyd and wholeheartedly recommend going to see Brit Floyd. They are the best of the best Floyd tribute bands.
The background singers are a key ingredient to the mood of the music and they create a richness, a fullness, in person they're amazing.
Pink Floyd was my first concert. David’s guitar playing is like having a best friend or a loved one holding you and telling you everything is going to be ok. ✨❤️🥲
Great comment. That is exactly how ive felt all these years listening to David. I'd just never thought of it like that.
First concert? That's a good place to start!
You don't "Pink Floyd " till you see Roger Waters....
@@Run_With_The_Kittens whatever you say buddy
@@slowhand06 its where I started and stopped. Why bother.
Pink Floyd was the highest expression of the soul of rock music! Their music sends a very deep message that is very emotional to the core of your soul! They are the best rock band of all time!
There are very few guitarists who can make a guitar sing like that, Hendrix made his strat talk, Knopfler too. Great to see your reaction to it 😁
I wouldn't worry about the folks who complain about the pausing of the video, as you said, these are 'reactions' videos: we are here for is to watch 'your' reactions to our favorite music. Plus you also provide links to the actual performance videos that they can go watch. Oh, great job.
react at the end , you dont stop sex half way through the orgasm
@@pasbert4812 if you want to hear PF yourself then do it. I suppose that you know all of their music, such as me. So take it easy.
There has to be pauses and breaks in the "reaction" so it doesn't get a copyright strike
@@pasbert4812 nice metaphor but didn't u hear her reason for it? Blame frigging YT. ;) Peace.
@@pasbert4812 I assume all your sexual encounters end up UA-cam videos, then?
I saw Pink Floyd at a private pre tour gig in the 1970s in Cambridge England at Granchester meadows....which is parkland just outside of the city. It was amazing and I became a fan instantly.....and after 50 years they are still probably one of the best bands the UK has ever produced. Please listen to Umaguma which was the double album they were going on tour with.
I was a teenager then....and now as a 70 year old I still hold them in such high regard that words will never be able to express their influence on world music. Floyd forever !.
Its nice to see the younger generation appreciating what we old timers grew up on, I am 67 now. Sadly there will never be music like this ever again and us boomers were very blessed to have experienced it as it was created. Not only are the band performers magical but the quality of sound in a live performance is unmatched anywhere in the world. They have the best sound engineers I have ever seen and in the earlier days included Alan Parsons for example. Got to see them once in concert and it was EPIC.
And we took it for granted, like the sky is blue and amazing music will always be around. There was no bad music, Kind of miss the 80's except for the hair and shoulder pads.
One of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs... and the lyrics are so appropriate for the current times. David makes his guitar weep then scream for hope. Let there be no more turning away.
1. You used the word ‘ethereal’ in the most appropriate manner. 2. You clearly ‘feel’ music in general and Pink Floyd/David Gilmour in particular.
3. Your willingness to be ‘slaughtered’ by those who die a thousand deaths if you interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo is admirable.
I see that comment far too often and it is said just to show how much people hold David’s gift in reverence. I love watching your reactions. They are emotionally honest, intelligent, nuanced and musically informed. I don’t know that we could ask for more.
Even after all these years, this song and his playing knocks the wind out of me. A true master.
I will dream of this stunningly beautiful woman, digging Pink Floyd... in a good way... not a bad mcnasty way.
Does my heart good to see the torch being passed
Pink Floyd is a one of a kind genius. Music and lyrics that produce emotion..
You said it exactly 100% right!!!!
Richard Wright, may he be in the great gig in the sky, added so much of that beauty with those keyboards.
Thank you again for allowing us to hear these songs with your ears
Im 43 now and I thank my moms for always playing music in house in the 80s growing up, I truly appreciate these musicians, the talent was so diverse and unique, I completely missed this jam, thanks for the reaction I felt every note, sound, vibration, it was powerful.
Pink floyd has saved my life a few times. Absolutely beautiful song and very underrated.
Mine too. And my others I presume.
Mine too brother
Mine as well.
And me. Delicate sound of Thunder ….
Count me in too!
Your reactions to Pink Floyd and David Gilmour are priceless. It's how I've felt about them for 50 years. The first time I saw them was 1975 and the experience changed me forever. Thanks for sharing.
Being touched by a melody with a message.. Is Nice! ;) It's Nice to be nice to the Nice, said the Ferret face.
I consider myself extremely blessed to have been able to see them perform the Division bell twice and a momentary lapse of reason once live. Words cannot describe the feeling you get from such experiences.
Took my dad to see them in the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. It was an experience ... for the rest of his life. Had never saw him so enthralled. During the concert and for years afterwards. On the Turning Away and Us and Them would have him lying down, eyes closed, blocking whatever passage he happened to be in at the time.
Best thing I ever did for my dad. Probably the best thing I ever did for me. Kids reacting to PF and DG make me happy.
@@evanhayward1502 Also saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour ...
In Dallas...
My eyes always fill up with tears watching this song as it takes me back to a night back in '87....
Of course then there's the opposite end of that spectrum at the culmination of the concert when all the fireworks blow at the end of Run Like Hell....
Still makes me stand up in my room.... It's pretty silly, but as we get older, we gotta do something to keep the inner child going...
this will be called classical music in 100 year's time!! roll over beethoven & tell tchaikovsky the news!!!
You should look up a band called El Monstero. They are awesome.
Gawd. So blessed you are
David Gilmour is one of the few guitarists who just know how to squeeze every drop of emotion out of a song ( and you ) - just a cosmic given talent.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!!
Pink Floyd is an experience. It brings out all the feels. So good to see younger generation enjoying what I have loved for my whole life.
Holy cow, Rogue, you do know how to put the sun up there in the sky! I gotta respect a lady who is getting to understand Pink Floyd! Thank you for another wonderful reaction. I have yet to talk about this, but you're helping in vast ways to help me navigate some horrifying days and events. Thank you. ☮️🌹🎼🎸🎶🎹🎵🎶
This is how music must be. The girl is truly shocked and touched by the supremacy of this song and this band especially by the lead guitar which is like send from heaven.
David Gilmour plugs the guitar into his soul and touches Heaven.
All the right notes in all the right places. It’s a gift.
It's cool that you picked up the significance of the vocal trio to the Pink Floyd sound, especially live. They not only add layers and accents, they inject a passion and sometimes a piercing hauntingness to the whole assembly. Then, of course, they DO get their spotlight track. If you haven't yet, check out the 1994 Pulse concert version of "Great Gig in the Sky"! It will absolutely do the thing that the art is about. "Joy and sorrow... sides of a coin."
This is a man that sold his legendary guitar collection (as well as his very beloved black strat) for the homeless. Great reaction. One of my favorite songs because of the meaning.
If I remember correctly for the instruments and equipment he sold he raised $21 million for climate change charities, could say he put his money where his mouth is 👍
I don't believe the black strat was that 'beloved'. It was in the Hard Rock Cafe for many years. It was also mucked about with a lot. It had at least three necks and he chopped a lump out of it to put a sustainer bridge in. He joked that the only original part on it when it was sold was the bridge plate. I think he far preferred his red strat or his beat up Tele. He certainly used them far more than the black strat. The only reason it went for so much is that it was the guitar he used on Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here
Right after he watched Schindler's List.
You nailed it; the comment about the backup singers being "angelic". An amazing guitar solo, playing, as great solos should, over, under, alongside, and in circles around, the basic melody and rhythm of the song.
Your doing a great job. Glad your enjoying great music.
I'm so happy that the younger generation listens to music that brought us up. Pink Floyd will NEVER become obsolete. This video makes me really happy to know that classic rock still has a place in todays generation. It really does. Great video young lady 👏 👍 ❤🇨🇦💯
David Gilmour's heart is wired directly into his guitar. It's what makes him great. I love your authentic reactions and It is so satisfying to me to see your appreciation for his unmatched talent. David Gilmour has been one of my favorite musicians since my childhood. Seeing younger folks encounter his work for the first time and really get it does this old man's heart good!
i'll always remember living in the 4 decades of the greatest music ever made....the 60's 70's 80's and 90's
The whole concert "Delicate Sound of Thunder" is a Masterpiece of live performances from late 80s.
Well said, Sir.
It was awesome...good thing I lived close by....Delicate Sound of Thunder is the first live album by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was recorded over five nights at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York, in August 1988.
Love "Delicate Sound Of Thunder"
Used to love playing the Delicate Sound of Thunder “HIFI VHS” video through the home theatre system back in the day. Awesome concert. Wore out some CD’s too.
One of the first albums I bought with money I had earned as a kid.
Yes dear. This is David. Master of his craft. One more thing - You need to note and acknowledge there are NO bad Pink Floyd songs. Their music ranges from good to excellent. Some of it is immortal. No bad songs, none. The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best albums ever, period. EVER!!!
Dream, chase, and fly high RogueRxyce
This is the seventh sense of guitar by David. I feel like flying to Andromeda galaxy while listening to his guitar. It's just out of the world.
In 1967 as a young 7th grader I called the local Ventura Ca radio station and won the contest (be the 5th caller thing). They sent me a dozen singles (45's). One was the then hit "love is all around" by the Troggs. It's B side was "Wide Thing". There was an unusual record I hadn't heard of. It was the 2nd recording of a new band named "Pink Floyd". The song was "See Emily Play". I became an instant fan. They were my favorite band. Still are...!!!
He can make anyone cry
My friend - it's the culmination of all the "little things", the magic of the interplay, that IS Pink Floyd. So glad you're here!
It blows my mind that there are people that have never experienced David and Pink. Seeing you react brings me back to my first hearing of them. It changed or certainly became the music that seemed to reflect the deepness of one part of the beat of my soul. The reason you are blown away is that this music doesn't just pass into your ears, but it reaches down your neck like a grasping hand and grabs at your heart muscle and squeezes the hell-out-of-it!
Good music does.
On the turning away,mother ,confortably numb las mejores canciones de pink floyd
No complaints here about the breaks in the music, even for the genius of the Floyd - we tune in to hear your reaction too!!
I loved your reaction when Margaret Taylor belted out that high note. Blows me away every time
I've seen other reaction videos and everyone reacts the same way when Margaret belts out that scream. She's awesome.
Check out "Great gig in the sky" from this same concert "A Delicate Sound of Thunder". All three girls are featured and Margaret really gets up there.
So beautiful 🎸 💯 😢
In my opinion one of the most accomplished guitar players, he brings so much feeling to his playing is inspiring
I went to a Catholic high school in New Zealand, as a child, and this is one of the songs we learnt to sing in the choir!
Fond memories.
That is _very, very_ good to hear! It is very much a song that carries Christian values! 👌
That's one classy teacher.
@@ToddSauve Yeah. This is what "Christian rock" should have been.
@@6yjjk I agree. Most so-called Christian Rock doesn't explain what it is be a Christian at all. It is just a lot of emotional (or attempts to be emotional) nonsense that promotes nothing positive from the scriptures that I can think of. And the music is weak and bland. I'll just pick and choose what I find to be right from the panorama of music out there and forget about the corporate attempts to create a pre-defined market based on ignorance.
yes thats david gilmour on lead guiter love pink floyd greatest music :) 👍😎😎
Love Gilmour's underappreciated work on this song. He seems to be able to improvise for hours on the same chord progression and is always so lyrical.
He's such an intelligent and intuitive guitarist and really good vocally
David is amazing and the rest of the band are just as good as he is. Sometimes we forget how good they are. A subtle little base riff or a drum flourish or RIC on the keys bringing it up another notch. A great band.
Thx for the review one those great songs from Floyd that's dear Floyd fans
David is by far my favorite guitarist so much emotion in his playing
That's when you see and hear a master at work! One of the greatest if not THE GREATEST guitar player in the world. It makes you tear up just listening !!! Kudos
Best concert i ever went to!
His guitar work is about emotion whether it be from happiness or pain. His soul, what it feels is shown through his playing. He plays from the soul. He like many of the great ones were not shredders but they took you on a ride that meant something
As a 54 year old whose favorite band is Pink Floyd, I love and appreciate that you love and appreciate this!
Try David again with Fat Old Sun - Live in Gdańsk.
Yo won’t regret it. ☮️❤️
Fat Old Sun contains THE greatest guitar solo I’ve ever heard bar none.
