This was my late wife's favorite Pink Floyd song. She passed away 6 months ago. This song holds a very special place in my heart. She loved the beginning when David starts singing. We would say that to each other after we first started being together, where were you? At the time of this concert, this song was brand new off the Division Bell album in 1994. And p.s., never heard David make a mistake, ever. And if he ever did, the mistake probably sounded good. The beginning of the song, he says where were you ... when I was burned and broken (I think, I never looked up the lyrics). Meaning like he was kind of in a bad place in his life and then met someone new that brought him back, coming back to life.
My childhood sweetheart and I reconnected a few yrs ago after 30 yrs and both of us were big time Pink Floyd lovers. He died 6 months ago and, similar to you, there are PF songs that absolutely both break and heal my heart. Peace and love to you.
“I knew the moment had arrived, for killing the past and coming back to life.” I have had several points in my life where that line had intense meaning.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song. Richard Wright (the synth player) and David Gilmour always had a spiritual sort of musical connection. There is a great performance of them together playing 'Echoes' from 2006 (it's their last performance of the song together, as Richard Wright died in 2008). Anyway, 'Coming Back to Life' is the only song on the 'Division Bell' album credited solely to David Gilmour. He apparently wrote it about his wife, Polly Samson, who I think he married that same year (1994). She is a novelist and also wrote many of the Gilmour-era Pink Floyd lyrics and more recent Gilmour solo work.
I like how the Camera people on the Pulse concert are zooming in on the signature David Gilmore guitar string bends, that speaks volumes right there . You just dont see camera work like that these days
hi guys,,said this many times,,,i love to see younger generations listening to and enjoying pink floyd,,,im 65 and have been listening to them for half a century,,,i listen to them daily without fail,,this track makes think its about relationship break up,, she had taken a lover and all the time he was distracted with other things,,hanging onto soemone elses word in the u,k means believing what you are being told and staring into the sun means not paying attention to whats in front of you,you guys just have to listen to,,"one of these days pulse concert, be prepared for a cachophany of sound and all done live,totaly instrumental but stay with it,,,its fantastic
This is how we as humans treat each other!! Listen to the lyrics, they tell you the truth about how we behave!! David tells us that through his beautiful gitar!! He actually speaks and sing through that!!
I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap frogged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
What’s classic is as he kicks into the second lead break you have the most wonderful little smiles on your faces like you just discovered something amazing
The album version of this song was the reason I picked up guitar. The intro to this song is a great introduction to Gilmours style. Those techniques and phrases set you up perfectly for more Floydian masterpieces like Comfortably Numb. If I could give you one tip it would be to learn the Minor Pentatonic scale. Learn position 1 first and go from there. 1st position minor pentatonic is a Gilmour favourite ... and feel every note you play. Practice practice practice. * Edit The 5th fret on the low E string is an A note. Play the 1st position of the minor pentatonic scale at the 5th fret and you're playing in A ... so it's called A minor pentatonic. Move it up 2 frets to the 7th fret and it's a B note now. Play the same 1st position minor pentatonic here (B minor pentatonic) and it's Comfortably Numb. Enjoy.
I attended this exact tour at the Rose Bowl two nights in a row April 16th &17th 1994, 20th row dead center both nights. I saw The Wall live 10th row center in quadraphonic sound at the LA Sports Arena 2/7/1980!
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know, and I know all the great ones.
He sings 'While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words, dying to believe in what you heard' It has no reference to someone literally hanging themselves. More about someone having faith in what someone has told them, hanging on to their words. Possibly even though they know they might not be true, but they don't want to admit that to themselves.
The bass play is Guy Pratt, a very accomplished English session musician, played on many well known records. You can hear his work playing bass on Madonnas Like a Prayer.
Interesting... I'm not saying she definitely didn't, just that the only one I had ever heard of was Michael Flatley. I'm curious now if this is more common than I had thought and am going look it up to see if Monroe or Grable, or both had indeed insured their legs. Cheers!
The song is about David Gilmour being lost and loveless after failed relationships If you listen to the lyrics " Where was you when I was burnt and broken " and "Where was you when I was hurt and helpless " but then he met his long time wife Polly Sampson and she brought him back to life..!! (ie) 'Coming Back to Life '
David Gilmour uses lots of effects like reverb and delay,tape echo. His effects rack is huge. Great tone and guitar playing and I have never heard him make a mistake. My playing style right now is inspired by David Gilmour and I do play quite a few Pink Floyd songs but his emotional playing is something I cannot recreate. Great video BTW
when you spoke about dave gilmore being careful with his hands, tony iommi the lead guitarest in black sabbath took off i think three of his fingers in the bands early days. he managed to carry on playing by having some plastic extensions made to fit on his finger tips what he lost and he was just has good as ever
Awesome reaction! If you are interested in bass, Pink Floyd has a song that is bass oriented and the Live Pulse version rocks. It's called One of These Days.
Thanks guys! enjoyed your reaction and comments on this song! Maybe you guys should do Pink Floyd's 'The dark side of the moon' PULSE LIve concert, not remastered version. They have great visual beside music.
So if know one has suggested to you, go to you tube and just type in Blues scale. That is the very beginning of learning how to solo and understanding guitar structure. You can solo along with a ton of Floyd songs just by playing in the blues scale. I learned soloing better by playing to Floyd.
Lyrics written by his wife Polly Samson talking about David & Rogers problems.....COMING BACK TO LIFE (Pink Floyd After Roger) "Hanging yourself on someone else's words (Roger Waters was the main lyricist for PF up to when Roger quit the band).
Dude, take the guitar behind you and go for it! They asked David Gilmour in an interview, "What should I do to play like you?". Gilmour replied, "Take a guitar and play anything, watch the others play and copy them. You will gain skill and your own finesse will come on their own ..." If you like it, try "Marooned" from this album. It is only an instrumental composition without lyrics and is based only on the Startocaster by David Gilmour. She won a Grammy Award (Best Rock Instrumental Performance). A really beautiful thing for guitar lovers ...
He’s talking about the band 🤦♂️ “coming back to life”…… you guys gotta long way to go 👍 album themed “division bell” it’s about the division & history of Pink Floyd & the entire album is about the evolutions of their music, it’s insanely brilliant 😏
For your personal joy, watch this incredible acoustic version of the song (see link): ua-cam.com/video/Ax-ptO_tVeY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DavidGilmour ... because of the incredible cumulation of it, i´d argue that it is the greater version. but it´s not floyd, it´s pure gilmour.
It's not just a synthesiser you need, you also need a Rick Wright play it, he was a genius, like most GOATs he makes what he plays look much easier than it actually is, RIP you seer of visions.
You guys really need to study the lyrics, the poetry of Pink Floyd is as important as the music. Very profound and just as relative today as it was then.
I've heard Gilmour make mistakes (not in this song, though), but you just accept that he, like everyone else, is human and is prone to doing so. You tend to not focus on them. Example - the Comfortably Numb second solo in Pompeii, 2016. At one point he doesn't hit the note quite right. It doesn't sound bad at all, but it's *technically* a mistake. I've also heard him forget the words to songs too - he did so at the Royal Albert Hall in 2006 to On An Island (I think it was that one anyway - it obviously didn't make it onto the DVD!). This song is what prompted me to take up the guitar in 1997. It was one of the first PF songs I learned to play.
Nice reaction guys, although not one of my favorite Floyd songs, it's still Pink Floyd playing it! David Gilmour is one of my favorite guitarists, maybe my favorite of all. I'm 65 years old and have been playing guitar since I was 13 years old. I have multiple guitars and amps, and I still play every day, it's a huge part of my life. I say all this because of my respect and admiration of David Gilmour. David Gilmour is a master of the Pentatonic scale as well as the Mixolydian scale. He uses these scales to convey emotion and passion in his playing, these are simple scales that all guitarists are familiar with. But David Gilmour uses these scales in his own unique way, to make them look and sound more elaborate than they really are. He is not a guitar Virtuoso like a Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, or Eddie Van Halen, and some others, but his notes, bends, trills, licks and phrasing, give the listener a sense of feel and emotion, that are second to no other guitarist imo. I enjoy you and your sons reactions to Pink Floyd, one of the most Legendary Rock bands of all time. Keep up the good work!
Many young guitarists think they can play Gilmours riffs and then solos. What he does is extremely difficult to master, and then he makes it even harder. Slow playing is often harder than fast ....music is not an Olympic event, it is a feeling. Also...... Gilmour is often killing the not wanted strings and then letting them sing to change the tone or feel. Hendrix did the opposite..... he wanted the other strings to add colour and dirt to his sound. I will never know how fast Gilmour can or can’t play, but I do know that most fast players can not play slow to a session muso standard. Most can make a guitar weep, cry and scream. Gilmour makes the listeners SOUL weep, cry and scream.
Gilmour is a master of sound! What he does is not technically challenging but the sound he brings out is far superior to other guitarist. I have been able to play a lot of Pink Floyd songs and it sounds pretty good but never the quality of Gilmour and never will.
& nothing this man does is easy, we can give any guitarist the same exact setup & they still won’t sound like Gilmour, can’t believe you guys talked him down at the end, I changed my rating to 👎
I don't remember talking him down. Good points about someone could have the same setup and not sound like him. He can make one note sound like pure emotion.

Stay strong, brother.
Sincere condolences.
Similar situation here.
Best wishes for you.
My wife loved Pink Floyd too. She passed away August 30, 2018 after 9 year battle with breast cancer. RIP to your wife🤗💙! Hang in there bro!! CC
Hi! From Brazil. Pink Floyd is the best Band ever!
“I knew the moment had arrived, for killing the past and coming back to life.” I have had several points in my life where that line had intense meaning.
"High Hopes" is a masterpiece pulse version is awesome so is the studio version Last Pink Floyd song on the last true Pink Floyd album!
Yep Division Bell I would agree is really the last Floyd album and High Hopes is another high point from the Pulse dvd.
So sorry to hear of your loss! All you can do is keep the memories. May your God Bless you.
Learning the notes to the intro takes a few minutes, learning the dynamics like Gilmore would take a thousand lifetimes
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song. Richard Wright (the synth player) and David Gilmour always had a spiritual sort of musical connection. There is a great performance of them together playing 'Echoes' from 2006 (it's their last performance of the song together, as Richard Wright died in 2008).

He apparently wrote it about his wife, Polly Samson, who I think he married that same year (1994). She is a novelist and also wrote many of the Gilmour-era Pink Floyd lyrics and more recent Gilmour solo work.
100% love that album all of it. especially high hopes; but i love thier complete catalog for different reasons.
I always thought Division Bell was about the feud between Waters and Gilmore. Fadi..RIP to your wife…I lost my wife in 2018..hang in there🤗😔!! CC
Great reaction, definitely do High Hopes.
Poles apart is another Great Song 🎼🎸🎸🎼
I like how the Camera people on the Pulse concert are zooming in on the signature David Gilmore guitar string bends, that speaks volumes right there . You just dont see camera work like that these days
Gilmour you mean, David Gilmore is a jazz guitarist.
You guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite reaction duos! Love the chemistry and intelligent analysis!
You know it is always going to be a great experience with Floyd. Even the gals are so mesmerising.
This is one of my all time favourite PF numbers. Tremendous song!
Gilmour is not about speed or gimmicks, he's about tone. That's why he's the best guitarist on the planet.
Precision string bending, totally spot on.
You guys easily become favorites of anyone....love your channel
Dude what an amazing song the album version turned up to 11 is amazing
Coming Back To Life is my favorite song to play on rhythm guitar.

pink floyd a melhor música pra se ouvir
David like a Boss
You need to do "High Hopes" from the Pulse concert and "On the Turning Away".
I think he says ‘you’re hanging ON to someone else’s words’.
One of my favorite Floyd songs. Awesome licks and chops. Lyrics fantastic too!

PINK FLOYD es música docta , vivirá por siempre hasta que muera la humanidad y si hay vida fuera de esta tierra te aseguro que lo amaran

The intro never fails to make me teared up 🥲

The Division Bell is my favourite PF album not a bad song on it!
Every time David plays a live song he plays it differently every time. He's freestyle.
The bass play is Guy Pratt, a very accomplished English session musician, played on many well known records.
You can hear his work playing bass on Madonnas Like a Prayer.
Guy Pratt's dad was Randall from Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)
this version contains product placement with logo VW at the beginning :-D vw was a sponsor of this tour
His wife Polly, I believe wrote the lyrics. She’s a published author. Do High Hopes for sure.
Polly and David wrote lyrics of High Hopes together and David wrote lyrics of Coming Back to Life himself.
Great reaction, guys! lol
I remember that about someone insuring their legs for a million dollars. It was Michael Flatley from Lord Of the Dance. lol
Not Betty Grable? Gossip was she was 1 mill. per gam (as she would have phrased it). No?
Interesting... I'm not saying she definitely didn't, just that the only one I had ever heard of was Michael Flatley. I'm curious now if this is more common than I had thought and am going look it up to see if Monroe or Grable, or both had indeed insured their legs. Cheers!
Tina Turner insured her legs I think with Loyds London for at least a million.
The song is about David Gilmour being lost and loveless after failed relationships If you listen to the lyrics " Where was you when I was burnt and broken " and "Where was you when I was hurt and helpless " but then he met his long time wife Polly Sampson and she brought him back to life..!! (ie) 'Coming Back to Life '
Gilmours Vocals on this 🙏 I’ve been waiting for a reaction on this song 🙏….. do “The Blue” from his “On an Island” tour 😎
Friggin amazing
It is really time for you both to react to "Echoes live at Pompei". You will get acqainted with the young Gilmour (and the fabulous early PF)
David Gilmour uses lots of effects like reverb and delay,tape echo. His effects rack is huge.
Great tone and guitar playing and I have never heard him make a mistake.
My playing style right now is inspired by David Gilmour and I do play quite a few Pink Floyd songs but his emotional playing is something I cannot recreate.
Great video BTW
After this, Sorrow begins.
when you spoke about dave gilmore being careful with his hands, tony iommi the lead guitarest in black sabbath took off i think three of his fingers in the bands early days. he managed to carry on playing by having some plastic extensions made to fit on his finger tips what he lost and he was just has good as ever
If You Like This, You Guy's Need To Listen To Pink Floyd's ''Great Gig In The Sky''!
It Will Quake Your Soul!
Awesome reaction! If you are interested in bass, Pink Floyd has a song that is bass oriented and the Live Pulse version rocks. It's called One of These Days.
You guys need to react to One of These Days.... A complete Instrumental from Floyd.
For sure his guitars worth money as he sold his collection for charity for a total of 21 millions USD.
Thanks guys! enjoyed your reaction and comments on this song! Maybe you guys should do Pink Floyd's 'The dark side of the moon' PULSE LIve concert, not remastered version. They have great visual beside music.

High hopes from the pulse concert is great and you get to see David play a slide steel or lap steel guitar.
David's wife, Polly Samson, wrote Floyd's lyrics after Roger left in 1985.
You were thinking of Bo Derek she insured her legs
Lyrics written by his wife Polly Samson talking about David & Rogers problems.....COMING BACK TO LIFE (Pink Floyd After Roger) "Hanging yourself on someone else's words (Roger Waters was the main lyricist for PF up to when Roger quit the band).
David wrote lyrics of Coming Back to Life himself.
@@Tracy82366 Pretty sure Polly had influence....---->either way fantastic song.
Dude, take the guitar behind you and go for it! They asked David Gilmour in an interview, "What should I do to play like you?". Gilmour replied, "Take a guitar and play anything, watch the others play and copy them. You will gain skill and your own finesse will come on their own ..."

I should sea SRV Live in El Mocambo. Texas Flood.
David Gilmore didn’t just play his guitar he made it sing. He is just amazing. You don’t just listen to Pink Floyd you experience Pink Floyd.
You should listen to some of Todd Rundgrens work from the 70s. I recommend “Utopia Theme”, “Real Man”, “Just one victory”
💰
Or Time. U will love the backup singers here……😬
He’s talking about the band 🤦♂️ “coming back to life”…… you guys gotta long way to go 👍 album themed “division bell” it’s about the division & history of Pink Floyd & the entire album is about the evolutions of their music, it’s insanely brilliant 😏
Dude it’s Gilmore are you kidding, it’s GILMOUR
For your personal joy, watch this incredible acoustic version of the song (see link): ua-cam.com/video/Ax-ptO_tVeY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DavidGilmour ... because of the incredible cumulation of it, i´d argue that it is the greater version. but it´s not floyd, it´s pure gilmour.
My favorite Post Roger Waters Pink Floyd song
It's not just a synthesiser you need, you also need a Rick Wright play it, he was a genius, like most GOATs he makes what he plays look much easier than it actually is, RIP you seer of visions.
Go watch high hopes by pink floyd
Thanks for the suggestion Nancy. Haven't heard that title before.
You guys really need to study the lyrics, the poetry of Pink Floyd is as important as the music. Very profound and just as relative today as it was then.
I've heard Gilmour make mistakes (not in this song, though), but you just accept that he, like everyone else, is human and is prone to doing so. You tend to not focus on them.
Example - the Comfortably Numb second solo in Pompeii, 2016. At one point he doesn't hit the note quite right. It doesn't sound bad at all, but it's *technically* a mistake. I've also heard him forget the words to songs too - he did so at the Royal Albert Hall in 2006 to On An Island (I think it was that one anyway - it obviously didn't make it onto the DVD!).
This song is what prompted me to take up the guitar in 1997. It was one of the first PF songs I learned to play.

David Gilmour is a master of the Pentatonic scale as well as the Mixolydian scale. He uses these scales to convey emotion and passion in his playing, these are simple scales that all guitarists are familiar with. But David Gilmour uses these scales in his own unique way, to make them look and sound more elaborate than they really are.
He is not a guitar Virtuoso like a Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, or Eddie Van Halen, and some others, but his notes, bends, trills, licks and phrasing, give the listener a sense of feel and emotion, that are second to no other guitarist imo. I enjoy you and your sons reactions to Pink Floyd, one of the most Legendary Rock bands of all time.
Keep up the good work!

What he does is extremely difficult to master, and then he makes it even harder.
Slow playing is often harder than fast ....music is not an Olympic event, it is a feeling.

I will never know how fast Gilmour can or can’t play, but I do know that most fast players can not play slow to a session muso standard.
Most can make a guitar weep, cry and scream.
Gilmour makes the listeners SOUL weep, cry and scream.
Lloyds of London is the insurance company that will insure parts of your body.
Gilmour is a master of sound! What he does is not technically challenging but the sound he brings out is far superior to other guitarist. I have been able to play a lot of Pink Floyd songs and it sounds pretty good but never the quality of Gilmour and never will.
This is David Gilmour, why on earth would you be expecting any form of error?
We know that wasn't really a Strat, at a glance...just sayin. Black plastic parts alone, give it away.
& nothing this man does is easy, we can give any guitarist the same exact setup & they still won’t sound like Gilmour, can’t believe you guys talked him down at the end, I changed my rating to 👎

do a half album of Animals at a time!
