The light show looks futuristic by today’s standards, but this concert took place almost 30 years ago in 1994. Another example of Pink Floyd being ahead of their time.
@@MaddyReactions This was an upgraded light show using the momentary lapse of reason set which I saw in February 1988 Perth Australia That show also had most of the lighting effects seen here Floyd were the first to use lighting effects back in the 60's they were also the first to use quadrophonic speakers at the back and front of the concert using a mechanical system.
My wife was pregnant with my daughter when we attended this show in Tempe , AZ. My daughter was immersed in this music along with the 70,000 watching it with us. The conceert of my lifetime. The previous tour was impressive. This was EPIC
I build concerts for a living and have seen all genres, and sizes ranging from bars to large clubs to theaters to arenas, to stadiums, to outdoor amphitheaters. Before the band got back together w/out Roger Waters, I used to say there would never be a concert like The Wall. After this tour, and knowing the band is forever apart, I can say there has never been a concert like this, nor is there likely ever to be one again. By far and above the greatest entertainment event ever engineered, built, produced, and witnessed/experienced. Some of the creations in this tour are still being used by bands.
Yes, was there in 1994 at the Pulse concert at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit Michigan. Fantastic. My Buddy Picked me up from college at CMU and we drove down to see this concert and went to classes the next day, well worth it!! Best concert I ever attended, they played DSOTM in its entirety.
It’s a wonderful thing for a 63 year old to see a generation, whom are my son’s ages, appreciate this music. I was fortunate to see the second night of the 1977 Animals tour at Madison Square Garden (It was magical finding the audio on UA-cam! I was 16 years old that night.) as well as the original “Wall Tour” at the Nassau Coliseum (two nights)! They have a long history, Maddy. Enjoy the journey! They are truly an incredible band.
This was by far the best concert I've ever attended in 1994. It felt like it was daytime during the final, 😊and then it went completely dark....no other concert outperformed Pink Floyd, since.
There were actually TWO drum kits on stage and two drummers. Pink Floyd never did anything halfway. After seeing this< I"m sure you can understand why this was the only thing that could follow "Comfortably Numb. Loved this reaction.
Actually the one Maddy reacted on was the percussionist, he did all kinds of additional percussion and his setup was insane, you see more of it on other clips, but Nick Mason is the one on actual drums. His drum setup was also impressive.
I'm so glad you watched this song. I had commented in the Comfortably Numb comments that I hoped you'd watch it. I saw this tour at the Pontiac Silverdome in MI. My friend and I were stuck in traffic and thought we would miss most of the show, but they announced on the radio that the band knew people were still trying to get there and decided to go on an hour later. Class act for sure. By the time we walked in the first song had just started. Our seats were 15th row from the stage on the main floor. Security was so tight, they were checking your tickets about every 20 feet you walked. The first song alone was over 13 minutes long, and by the time we got to our seats they had just started the third song of the set. During the song One of These Days, when the flame jets went off, I had to shield my face from the heat, it was that intense. That concert was mammoth, to say the least. To this day, it is singlehandedly the most amazing spectacle I've ever witnessed in person. I'm so glad that they released this on home video so I could not only relive my experience, but everyone else could get be mystified by it as well.
The light show was so amazing. I saw 2 shows on this tour, one of them inside with a show like this and the other was outside with even more effects. That one was at Mile High stadium in Denver when the airport was still downtown. They had to divert all air traffic in and out of Stapleton because of the light show. You REALLY!! need to check out Great Gig in the Sky from this concert. You are not prepared for it, I'll tell you that right now. Great reaction, thanks.
I saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago that summer, also downtown and near a small executive airport at the time. You're lucky, Chicago wouldn't let them do their lasers for the Soldier Field show because they didn't want to shut down the airport or divert traffic to it. But everything else, the ball the brilliant blinding stage lights, 360° million watt surround sound speaker system, were all astounding and breathtaking. Didn't feel like we missed a thing.
Pink Floyd are the Undisputed God's of Live performance. Every song you watch from this concert is being played at its maximum level. The special effects and lights are built for the audience. Designed to amplify and magnify the emotions in the music. David Gilmour was in his 40s for this concert. If you want a fun experience, go watch the 2016 David Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert. Gilmour was in his 70s and was just as powerful as he was for the Pulse concert. He plays all of Pink Floyd's big hits with his own band and they found exactly like Pink Floyd
I was there for 2 night's, I still can't get it out of my head. Such memories, possibly the best concert I've been too, and I've seen the Floyd over 30 times since the early 70's.
Saw this show twice in 1994 in NYC, and I can tell you when we walked out everybody held up their ticket and wished we were walking in again. Check out Sorrow, One of these days, Great Gig in the sky, High Hopes from the show. Just as good, maybe better than the others. So hard to pick the best of... Gilmour is the master, the Jedi Knight. If you notice, after every song, it takes a while for applause. I can tell you from experience, you are so blown away it takes that long to come back to your senses.
absolutely love the way david took his time on this, I saw the pulse concert, this almost was the best performance but no the whole concert was startling, best ever concert by a long way.
The pink Floyd drummer is nick mason. The drummer you were mentioning was the percussionist who has a whole lot of different shit to wack at. Nick does the main beat and a majority of the drumming whilst the percussionist fills in with more intricate off beats a variety of different percussion instruments like bells, chimes, gong, timbale, roto-toms, wooden blocks etc. If you watch more of the concert you'll see him ripping it up on various occasions. As a drummer/ percussionist of over 45 years experience I think there's nothing better than watching enjoying their art. Ps. Just subscribed.
This was the 3rd encore and closing number of Pulse, a perfect ending to a perfect concert. Yes I was there, in London where this is recorded but on the night after this recording. The atmosphere when this number started was just electric, even though everyone knew this is there usual closure people were so excited to see the coming light show. You can see and hear it in the crowd on this video, sadly you can't feel it. The heat from the flares was incredible, the explosion at the end deafening, the lights amazing. I loved every second of the show, thank you so much PF.
I was there! The most amazing thing I had ever seen, or have seen since. One thing you don't get from the video is the incredible surround sound system wrapping the whole of Earl's Court with pin-sharp sound. It was indeed a night that will live with me forever.
I saw that show twice once in yankee stadium and once in meadowlands at the time. I relive it every time I see the video. Wish my kids could see it just once to see what talent and class looks like.
I saw them on this very tour (The Division Bell Tour) in May 1994, in the old Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. It would have been a few months before this final leg of the concert in Earl's Court in London. It was the most incredible experience I've ever had at a concert. It truly is an otherworldly experience. I will never forget it. Great reaction!
I was there 🙂i was also there at Earls Court on The Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour when a back section of the seating collapsed (happily no serious injuries) so we had to come back 5 days later for the re-scheduled concert!
I was there at Earls Court in '94 and it was every bit as amazing as you can imagine, only more so. The effect in the room when the giant mirrorball lit up during Comfortably Numb was indescribable and will live with me until the day I die, the videos really don't do it justice.
I saw them during this tour when they came to Denver back in 94 I was 23 then, and yes they're iconic Maybe the best of all time. This concert was spiritual and a experience once in a life time phenomena.
The DSOT remastered version of On The Turning Away will take to not just another realm but may irrevocably move and change you forever. A true masterpiece in concert cinematography, sound, arrangement, instruments and vocals.
Dang Maddy, you just keep turning up the heat. At all three performances I saw live this song was the last song after performing the entire Dark Side of the Moon. I worked with one of the light techs on a different project and he said it was insane plugging and unplugging lights to stay ahead of each scene.
Great reaction! I've seen them in concert 6 times over the decades and a few times with Roger Waters band too after the split. They always kick it like the champions they are. And the light shows! OMG. Best light shows, Pink Floyd and ELO.
I was there, but what made my experience extra memorable was watching the last show in Oakland it rained. Not one person, I could see left or complained, but shared a rare moment. It was a stand in the field situation. Pulse was shockingly good. I am just like you all now, I get to relive it, and really, its pretty fing amazing watching on a laptop with good earbuds. Its Ear-Gasmic. There are a few versions floating Pulse. Some are better than others. I found one channel they put themselves in small boxes and the concert almost fills entire screen. I think they use the DVD version. Its edited differently.
First time I saw them "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'' at Fillmore West with Syd Barrett. 1 song lasting 2 hours. Nothing like this. It has been fun watching their live presence grow over the years.
As you can tell by my username pic. I really, really, really love Pink Floyd. All of Dark Side of the Moon is worth reacting to. One of my favorite albums of all time.
A group of us went to the show...It was the most incredable thing I've ever seen! The light show was out of this world and the sound was so huge, it took over your whole body and soul. I've been to many concerts and this was by far the best and by a long long way. You're right, it lives in your memory. I was so stoked when "Pulse' came out. On a good stereo the music is as clear as being there. The continuity of the light show felt like you were tripping and you didn't want to blink. As one of our girls discribed it afterwards.."That was orgasmic!"...An experience that still brings goosebumps and never will be forgotten...Cheers.
I got in contact with Pink Floyd when I was barely four Years old. My half brother, who is 13 Years older than I, bought "The dark side of the moon" in 1973, must have heard the album ten times a week. So I heard the music without knowing anything about the lyrics or the band. And in 1988, I finally saw them live in Dortmund (Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour), 1989 in Cologne (same Tour) and 1994 in Gelsenkirchen (PULSE). Unforgettable!
I wasn't at this particular performance, but I saw them on this tour in Pittsburgh. Best show I've ever seen. I was blinded by the lights. David Gilmour's voice and guitar playing, is one of the best I've ever seen.
Their indoor lightshows are legendary ever since the 1960s. It was always a part of what made Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd. However, unless you were lucky enough to have seen them outdoors you missed half the show. Lasers into the nights sky illuminating clouds was out of this world experience aided by the cocktail of naughtiness I ingested before the show :) then comes the crescendo of what seemed like all the fireworks ever made all let off at once my mind was blown. Greatest firework display I have ever seen. Backdrop Versailles Palace near Paris. I also saw them at Hyde Park in London. Same deal.
I was at this tour two times. Schalke and Köln stadium. All the friends wo where there with me telling until today, that this show was the best they ever seen. When i watch this, i became flashbacks and directly i got goosebumbs
@@MaddyReactions Steve's right. These two were Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's main drummer, and Gary Wallis, who alternated between percussion and drums on tour from the late 80s onwards. Gary later went on to join Mike & The Mechanics (founded by Mike Rutherford of Genesis fame).
Saw them on this tour in the Bay Area (Oakland Coliseum). Probably the best concert I've ever attended. So grateful this film exists to help me relive it.
I was there and it will live with me always. The light show was so big the the Earls court concert theater couldn't supply enough power so they had three articulated power trucks to boost power. The other thing was the sound system. Loud LOUD and clear as a bell. The drummer at the end was the percussionist and the actual drummer is the older guy in centre stage. As to the sound of that guitar only Mr Gilmour can make it scream in both pain and ecstasy at the same time. Ps love the hair
I saw this tour four times in 94. The show was amazing. For scale, the distance from the stage to the top of the big arch of lights was 65 feet, if I recall correctly. Also, there were two complete sets of equipment that leapfrogged from city to city because it took so long to load in and set up.
Yes I believe that's right. Two sets of equipment. But there were three stages leapfrogging. At least there were on the American leg of the tour. I still have my program purchased while waiting for the gates to the stadium to open. My girlfriend who was in the publishing industry leafed through it and pointed out that it was "made from the good stuff". Which is to say it is mostly plastic not paper made from trees.
It was called the Pulse concert because of the lights being programmed to react automatically to the sounds, and we could really see that at the start of this video. My seats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City were nosebleed seats at the far end away from the stage, so we really couldn’t see people, but it was still an amazing show.
You've just reminded me... The CD box set of the Pulse Concert had a flashing LED light built into the packaging. I remember walking into the music shop and seeing a whole shelf of blinking lights! They always had to go that extra step!
Saw them a few times at Earls Court as most fans pretty much knew this was probably the final tour. Been to gigs regularly since the 60s. These were the best gigs I've ever attended.
Yes I was there. Along with my heavily pregnant wife. The gig will stay with me forever and NOT for the reason you may think. The venue was Earls Court London and the first time we went, as it started the stand next to us collapsed! A number of people were injured and the gig had to be cancelled! We had to come back again three days later to see the show. Well worth it. Loads of great memories. My son Sam always counts it as the first show he was at - and he loves Pink Floyd!
This performance was 30 years ago this month, October 1994, and is the most spectacular I ever saw before or since. In fact the concerts I attended in the 70's and 80's were better than anything in the intervening years since PULSE. As for Pink Floyd, they scaled new heights of both musical and visual presentation. I'm not sure we will ever see anything as impressive as this again.
I was there. Wow isn't the word. Seen nothing like it since. The lights and music were all choreographed down to the split second. The sound quality was the most perfect you can get for a live performance. They did 14 straight nights at Earls Court playing to over 300,000 people in all then took it on World tour playing to over 5 million. One of the greatest bands ever. Dave Gilmour has just finished his latest tour ending in New York aged 78 mixing his latest songs with PF favourites.
I saw this in Sept 1994 in Prague. The biggest stadium Strahov Spartakiad. Many thoussnd people attended but it was a rainy day. Anyway the light show was seen on the other dide of the town. I'm lucky to see them in live.
I was a paramedic at Pink Floyd's concert in The Palace outside of Detroit, Michigan around 1988. I was so busy I didn't have time to be watching the stage much; 25,000 people, overdoses, fights, other medicals ... all over the place, in the crowd, in the security areas, backstage etc, non-stop running. At one point during the song "On The Run" I looked up over my shoulder and the flying bed was hurtling through the air to crash in an explosion on the stage. I got time-and-a-half to be there.
Yes I was there at Earl's Court and I will never forget it, and by the way, that's only 1 of the 2 drum kits that they had and they also had 2 keyboard setups as well.
I wish I could whisk you back in time, to experience the show in person. I saw the show at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. Flights to the airport had to be rerouted during the show, in order to avoid the lasers shooting into the sky. I was there with my brothers, and we know what song was coming, with the first teaser note at the beginning. I couldn't wait for the song to begin, but at the same time I didn't want it to end, because that meant the end of the show. Compared to others, I haven't seen a lot of concerts in my life, but this was by far the best ever.
Pink Floyd played at Earl's Court for fourteen nights in October 1994. At the time I was living just across the road from the arena. I was able to get tickets for five of the fourteen nights. I've seen Led Zeppelin, Genesis, The Who, The Rolling Stones and more. But the best live band I've ever seen or will ever see is Pink Floyd. The encore performance of 'Run Like Hell' is in the record books as using the most number of lights in a live performance. I first saw The Floyd in 1980 when they performed The Wall at Earl's Court. Then when they played at Maine Road in Manchester in 1988. Every show was better than the last. Don't think we'll see their like again.
8:48 it's two drummers. Nick Mason is the original Pink Floyd drummer and he plays on his drums, as the other guy who has a lot of plates is Gary Wallis the drummer that the band hired during the recording of 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and becamed the second drummer on live shows. Nick and Gary play together on seperated drums at the same time except on Shine on You Crazy Diamond from Pulse live album.
Of all the bands in the world Pink Floyd are the band to take you into another realm. It's the one thing everybody notices, they force images and dreams into your head like jam into a donut.
You mentioned the size of that drum kit 8:40. What makes that even more remarkable is how that is one of TWO drum kits up there. That's drummer Gary Wallis providing a bit of extra percussion!
I only saw them in concert once, but it was the show in the New Orleans Superdome in May of 1994 - so it was the same tour that this show is from. They played a different setlist from the two Earls Court shows the PULSE concert was filmed at. For example, we didn't get the full Dark Side of the Moon performance. But, I did buy the initial PULSE release on laserdisc the next year, then the DVD in 2006. I know there's a newer Blu-ray, I just haven't gotten it yet.
I was lucky enough to see the opening show of this tour at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami and we had the added benifit of a "warm sprin drizzle"😂, so when I looked up the lights and lasers were also reflecting in random directions off of the rain drops...But to answer your question "was I there?", the answer is that I was there while also not there, in all the best ways....It was what I would imagine an "out of body experience" would be like....If that makes any sense....😂😂
Way too much sense. Saw them in '70 in the Chi. on 'cid in the second row & watched a dude do a swan dive 8 feet into the orchestra pit to "One of These Days. Fun times.
@@cornfedjuggalo Actually, when he did that the whole auditorium stood up & yelled& shit.All of a sudden all you could was his hands as he tried to jump up on the stage. The crowd went nuts when they saw that. The whole time the bass player is alone on stage not knowing about this ,he was doing the opening to One of These Days,When the crowd erupted he freaked,wondering why he was getting a standing o.
I never saw Pink Floyd live - I didn't get into them until after this concert, and IIRC, they didn't perform again until the Live8 concert in 2005. But I did see David Gilmour's solo tours in London in 2006, 2015 and 2016, and they are the best concerts I've ever been to. Absolutely epic. The only thing that could top them now would be if I could ever get to see Nightwish live.
I was there in wisconsin and the had to shut down the madison airport during the show. Best show ive ever seen. One of the funnest nights of my life. July 3rd 1994

Seen the Animals tour in Cleveland. The stage show was amazing back then.
I was there and it was the best gig I ever went to. An audio/visual mind boggling experience!
Im 61 and that night watching this live is the best night of my life , i came out nearly blind and deaf . Followed them since 1972
There are 2 drummers; each of them has an enormous drum kit.
My wife was pregnant with my daughter when we attended this show in Tempe , AZ. My daughter was immersed in this music along with the 70,000 watching it with us. The conceert of my lifetime. The previous tour was impressive. This was EPIC

To see them is not like going to a concert. It is an event. Their show is beyond description.
It's OK to be jealous. It was such a different time with different musicians!!!! Once in a lifetime concert!!!

I was at that show also

i was lucky enough to see them twice on this tour. blown away both times.
Same here. I was at Earls Court the night this was recorded and it's all been downhill from there, musically speaking😁
According to my information the Earl's Court concert was in London 1994 and not Michigan Chicago
Wow, thank you for the detailed story!
The light show was so amazing. I saw 2 shows on this tour, one of them inside with a show like this and the other was outside with even more effects.

There are guitarists , then theres Dave jeans and T shirt . The bass was brilliant also .
That's how you end a show . Nothing compares
Epic ending....Great reaction...Wonderful reactor...Thank you and cheers from a finn in Sweden.

I was at the Tampa show. Just an amazing concert I’ll never forget. Still have the ticket. $35 for 50 yard line on the field. $35 freaking dollars.
I saw that show twice once in yankee stadium and once in meadowlands at the time. I relive it every time I see the video. Wish my kids could see it just once to see what talent and class looks like.

I saw Pink Floyd in Toronto ,1987 Exhibition stadium, it was by far the best concert ever
From the same PULSE CONCERT, check out SORROW and also LEARNING TO FLY. Every song from Pulse is excellent.
Oooh 🩷
A wonderful way to end a tremendous concert, privileged to be there in London.
I was there at Earls Court in '94 and it was every bit as amazing as you can imagine, only more so. The effect in the room when the giant mirrorball lit up during Comfortably Numb was indescribable and will live with me until the day I die, the videos really don't do it justice.
I've seen Pink Floyd 3 times live ☺️
When pigs 🐖 fly was a great concert....
They give you a 💯❣️ 👏👏👏👏
Life time memories everytime... ✌️🤠❤️
Yes, I've seen the Pig fly at several Pink Floyd shows! 🐖
I saw them in 87' on the reunion. And in 92' at the Rose Bowl. I'm blessed to say I've seen a Floyd Show. Flying Pigs and all......lol
Yup Yankee Stadium 1994- present! Was mesmerizing. Was 40 years old, now 69. Great memory.
Was there in 1994 now 74 years old still watch it on UA-cam what a privilege never to be forgotten
I saw them during this tour when they came to Denver back in 94 I was 23 then, and yes they're iconic Maybe the best of all time. This concert was spiritual and a experience once in a life time phenomena.
That guitar 🎸 riff is so iconic !
Definitely
Check out the Live in Pompei 2016 version. Also great!
The DSOT remastered version of On The Turning Away will take to not just another realm but may irrevocably move and change you forever. A true masterpiece in concert cinematography, sound, arrangement, instruments and vocals.
I was at that set of shows. I was 17 and went with my dad. It was incredible the light show was something special
I was there in Vancouver in 94. Best show I've seen.
Dang Maddy, you just keep turning up the heat. At all three performances I saw live this song was the last song after performing the entire Dark Side of the Moon. I worked with one of the light techs on a different project and he said it was insane plugging and unplugging lights to stay ahead of each scene.
Yeah. I saw this show when they brought it to Brisbane. Best musical experience of my 65 orbits around the Sun.
I saw this very show in 1994 for the Division Bell tour, Spectacular!
Great reaction! I've seen them in concert 6 times over the decades and a few times with Roger Waters band too after the split. They always kick it like the champions they are. And the light shows! OMG. Best light shows, Pink Floyd and ELO.
I was there, but what made my experience extra memorable was watching the last show in Oakland it rained. Not one person, I could see left or complained, but shared a rare moment. It was a stand in the field situation. Pulse was shockingly good. I am just like you all now, I get to relive it, and really, its pretty fing amazing watching on a laptop with good earbuds. Its Ear-Gasmic. There are a few versions floating Pulse. Some are better than others. I found one channel they put themselves in small boxes and the concert almost fills entire screen. I think they use the DVD version. Its edited differently.
I saw this tour in Philadelphia for two nights in 94 it affects me to this day.
First time I saw them "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'' at Fillmore West with Syd Barrett. 1 song lasting 2 hours. Nothing like this. It has been fun watching their live presence grow over the years.
I saw Pink Floyd on this tour in Denver Colorado.
It was incredible.
I saw Pink Floyd at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego..... perfect summer evening.... an experience I will never EVER forget.
As you can tell by my username pic. I really, really, really love Pink Floyd. All of Dark Side of the Moon is worth reacting to. One of my favorite albums of all time.
A group of us went to the show...It was the most incredable thing I've ever seen! The light show was out of this world and the sound was so huge, it took over your whole body and soul. I've been to many concerts and this was by far the best and by a long long way. You're right, it lives in your memory. I was so stoked when "Pulse' came out. On a good stereo the music is as clear as being there. The continuity of the light show felt like you were tripping and you didn't want to blink. As one of our girls discribed it afterwards.."That was orgasmic!"...An experience that still brings goosebumps and never will be forgotten...Cheers.
Wasn't at this specific show, but saw the same tour here in the States. Third tour I saw them on and it was by far their best
I saw Pink Floyd 2 times in Raleigh NC about 5 years apart during this era! Both shows were epic!
High Hopes , Shine On , Sorrow , From the same concert are all a must to react too :) x
Was there in 94 @ Toronto. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Wow
I got in contact with Pink Floyd when I was barely four Years old. My half brother, who is 13 Years older than I, bought "The dark side of the moon" in 1973, must have heard the album ten times a week. So I heard the music without knowing anything about the lyrics or the band. And in 1988, I finally saw them live in Dortmund (Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour), 1989 in Cologne (same Tour) and 1994 in Gelsenkirchen (PULSE). Unforgettable!
I wasn't at this particular performance, but I saw them on this tour in Pittsburgh. Best show I've ever seen. I was blinded by the lights. David Gilmour's voice and guitar playing, is one of the best I've ever seen.
Yep, David Gilmour violating all Ten Commandments on his guitar 😂😅 Creative genius at its best!
Well done, Maddie, bravo ❤🌹😇

Their indoor lightshows are legendary ever since the 1960s. It was always a part of what made Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd. However, unless you were lucky enough to have seen them outdoors you missed half the show. Lasers into the nights sky illuminating clouds was out of this world experience aided by the cocktail of naughtiness I ingested before the show :) then comes the crescendo of what seemed like all the fireworks ever made all let off at once my mind was blown. Greatest firework display I have ever seen. Backdrop Versailles Palace near Paris. I also saw them at Hyde Park in London. Same deal.
This is easily one of the greatest rock concerts ever caught on video; right up there with Talking Heads Stop Making Sense!
I am 62 yrs old and seen every floyd show thanks for a flashback
I was at this tour two times. Schalke and Köln stadium. All the friends wo where there with me telling until today, that this show was the best they ever seen. When i watch this, i became flashbacks and directly i got goosebumbs
There are two drummers, watch Sorrow from the Pulse tour and you will see both perform
Ooohhhh
@@MaddyReactions Steve's right. These two were Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's main drummer, and Gary Wallis, who alternated between percussion and drums on tour from the late 80s onwards. Gary later went on to join Mike & The Mechanics (founded by Mike Rutherford of Genesis fame).
Saw them on this tour in the Bay Area (Oakland Coliseum). Probably the best concert I've ever attended. So grateful this film exists to help me relive it.
I was there and it will live with me always. The light show was so big the the Earls court concert theater couldn't supply enough power so they had three articulated power trucks to boost power. The other thing was the sound system. Loud LOUD and clear as a bell.
The drummer at the end was the percussionist and the actual drummer is the older guy in centre stage.
As to the sound of that guitar only Mr Gilmour can make it scream in both pain and ecstasy at the same time.
Ps love the hair
I saw this tour four times in 94. The show was amazing. For scale, the distance from the stage to the top of the big arch of lights was 65 feet, if I recall correctly. Also, there were two complete sets of equipment that leapfrogged from city to city because it took so long to load in and set up.
Yes I believe that's right. Two sets of equipment. But there were three stages leapfrogging. At least there were on the American leg of the tour. I still have my program purchased while waiting for the gates to the stadium to open. My girlfriend who was in the publishing industry leafed through it and pointed out that it was "made from the good stuff". Which is to say it is mostly plastic not paper made from trees.
It was called the Pulse concert because of the lights being programmed to react automatically to the sounds, and we could really see that at the start of this video. My seats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City were nosebleed seats at the far end away from the stage, so we really couldn’t see people, but it was still an amazing show.
You've just reminded me... The CD box set of the Pulse Concert had a flashing LED light built into the packaging. I remember walking into the music shop and seeing a whole shelf of blinking lights! They always had to go that extra step!
I love the ending of this song. That was extremely big time light show. There known for there incredible shows . One of my favorite bands ❤
Saw them a few times at Earls Court as most fans pretty much knew this was probably the final tour. Been to gigs regularly since the 60s. These were the best gigs I've ever attended.
Seen them over 10 times in my 63 years, you just don't listen to them, you experience them. Read there lyrics.
best band of all times 😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert. 1988-1990 ) ✨✨🎶🎶
Yes I was there. Along with my heavily pregnant wife. The gig will stay with me forever and NOT for the reason you may think. The venue was Earls Court London and the first time we went, as it started the stand next to us collapsed! A number of people were injured and the gig had to be cancelled! We had to come back again three days later to see the show. Well worth it. Loads of great memories. My son Sam always counts it as the first show he was at - and he loves Pink Floyd!
This performance was 30 years ago this month, October 1994, and is the most spectacular I ever saw before or since. In fact the concerts I attended in the 70's and 80's were better than anything in the intervening years since PULSE.
As for Pink Floyd, they scaled new heights of both musical and visual presentation.
I'm not sure we will ever see anything as impressive as this again.
I was there. Wow isn't the word. Seen nothing like it since. The lights and music were all choreographed down to the split second. The sound quality was the most perfect you can get for a live performance. They did 14 straight nights at Earls Court playing to over 300,000 people in all then took it on World tour playing to over 5 million. One of the greatest bands ever. Dave Gilmour has just finished his latest tour ending in New York aged 78 mixing his latest songs with PF favourites.
Oooohhh! Sounds indescribable
I saw this in Sept 1994 in Prague. The biggest stadium Strahov Spartakiad. Many thoussnd people attended but it was a rainy day. Anyway the light show was seen on the other dide of the town. I'm lucky to see them in live.
I was a paramedic at Pink Floyd's concert in The Palace outside of Detroit, Michigan around 1988. I was so busy I didn't have time to be watching the stage much; 25,000 people, overdoses, fights, other medicals ... all over the place, in the crowd, in the security areas, backstage etc, non-stop running. At one point during the song "On The Run" I looked up over my shoulder and the flying bed was hurtling through the air to crash in an explosion on the stage. I got time-and-a-half to be there.
Yes I was there at Earl's Court and I will never forget it, and by the way, that's only 1 of the 2 drum kits that they had and they also had 2 keyboard setups as well.
Pink Floyd's drummer since the band's inception was Nick Mason.
The percussionist for their tours in the late 80's and 90's was Gary Wallis.
I was at delicate sound of thunder tour great concert and light show
This song....you an envision a group of people running....scared....and just keeping on the run.
I wish I could whisk you back in time, to experience the show in person. I saw the show at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. Flights to the airport had to be rerouted during the show, in order to avoid the lasers shooting into the sky. I was there with my brothers, and we know what song was coming, with the first teaser note at the beginning. I couldn't wait for the song to begin, but at the same time I didn't want it to end, because that meant the end of the show. Compared to others, I haven't seen a lot of concerts in my life, but this was by far the best ever.
Pink Floyd played at Earl's Court for fourteen nights in October 1994.
At the time I was living just across the road from the arena. I was able to get tickets for five of the fourteen nights.
I've seen Led Zeppelin, Genesis, The Who, The Rolling Stones and more. But the best live band I've ever seen or will ever see is Pink Floyd. The encore performance of 'Run Like Hell' is in the record books as using the most number of lights in a live performance.
I first saw The Floyd in 1980 when they performed The Wall at Earl's Court. Then when they played at Maine Road in Manchester in 1988. Every show was better than the last.
Don't think we'll see their like again.
There is music... And then there is Pink Floyd!
I was there, Earl's Court, October 1994, saw them twice in a week. AWESOME experience.
8:48 it's two drummers. Nick Mason is the original Pink Floyd drummer and he plays on his drums, as the other guy who has a lot of plates is Gary Wallis the drummer that the band hired during the recording of 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and becamed the second drummer on live shows. Nick and Gary play together on seperated drums at the same time except on Shine on You Crazy Diamond from Pulse live album.
This came out when I was In high school. You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it.
#hangovergang forever 🤙🏽
I saw this concert in Pittsburgh, just amazing.
Of all the bands in the world Pink Floyd are the band to take you into another realm. It's the one thing everybody notices, they force images and dreams into your head like jam into a donut.
You mentioned the size of that drum kit 8:40. What makes that even more remarkable is how that is one of TWO drum kits up there. That's drummer Gary Wallis providing a bit of extra percussion!
Brings back great memories of seeing the tour, it was one hell of a finale :)
I was 18 when this album came out. I'm 63 now ! Still incredible. Listen in the dark wear head phones !!!!
I only saw them in concert once, but it was the show in the New Orleans Superdome in May of 1994 - so it was the same tour that this show is from. They played a different setlist from the two Earls Court shows the PULSE concert was filmed at. For example, we didn't get the full Dark Side of the Moon performance. But, I did buy the initial PULSE release on laserdisc the next year, then the DVD in 2006. I know there's a newer Blu-ray, I just haven't gotten it yet.
The whole show is brilliant from start to finish, give it a go you can't go wrong. You will have that amazed look all the way through.
Seen em twice .... just F__king AWESOME to see.
Yep I was there Earls Court London 1994, four rows from the front. Awesome gig.
Great reaction Maddy! Coming up on 40k subs.
So close! 🤗🤗
I'm a new prescriber because I saw that you're reacting. To Pink Floyd my favorite band.
I was at the show in Vancouver BC, and it was as amazing as this was.
I was lucky enough to see the opening show of this tour at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami and we had the added benifit of a "warm sprin drizzle"😂, so when I looked up the lights and lasers were also reflecting in random directions off of the rain drops...But to answer your question "was I there?", the answer is that I was there while also not there, in all the best ways....It was what I would imagine an "out of body experience" would be like....If that makes any sense....😂😂
Way too much sense. Saw them in '70 in the Chi. on 'cid in the second row & watched a dude do a swan dive 8 feet into the orchestra pit to "One of These Days. Fun times.
@@kevinsmith4429 How bad was he hurt....P.S. I loved your movie Dogma....lol
@@kevinsmith4429 I am surprised you were able to make any sense out of what I wrote with all my misspellings....HAHA
@@cornfedjuggalo I tend to get that a lot. Wish I had his talent,wit & money.
@@cornfedjuggalo Actually, when he did that the whole auditorium stood up & yelled& shit.All of a sudden all you could was his hands as he tried to jump up on the stage. The crowd went nuts when they saw that. The whole time the bass player is alone on stage not knowing about this ,he was doing the opening to One of These Days,When the crowd erupted he freaked,wondering why he was getting a standing o.
Run Like Hell follows Cumfortably Numb and is the last song of their 3 song encore. It is also the 22 song of the concert!!
I never saw Pink Floyd live - I didn't get into them until after this concert, and IIRC, they didn't perform again until the Live8 concert in 2005. But I did see David Gilmour's solo tours in London in 2006, 2015 and 2016, and they are the best concerts I've ever been to. Absolutely epic.
The only thing that could top them now would be if I could ever get to see Nightwish live.
I was there in wisconsin and the had to shut down the madison airport during the show. Best show ive ever seen. One of the funnest nights of my life. July 3rd 1994
