At the end of the Pulse Tour, Pink Floyd played 12 nights at Earls Court in London. I was there for 3 of those nights, including the night that they taped the Pulse video. I’ll never forget it.
Christmas 1979, getting "The Wall" album as a gift. Last year in High School and this track hits No 1 in the UK charts. It spoke to so many of us then and is still relevant today.
Yep, the perfect album for the angsty intelligent high schooler. I spent MANY an herbally enhanced hour with this blasting in the headphones. It's one of those 'world within itself' type albums that I really love.
Best show i ever saw you ask? April 1994 Dallas TX (Division Bell) 2nd night. My story begins with "Pink Floyd made it rain". Came out for the encore and the skies blackend, lightning, and the old Texas stadium, with the open roof, absolutely POURED on most of the crowd. (Stage was covered, no risk to the band). It was a religious experience.
The Vari-Lite stage lighting system. Genesis, yes, THAT Genesis, became an early investor when the first crude prototypes were demonstrated to them in 1980.
David Gilmour -- among the best! Many of us love him because he showed future guitar players that you can be a great, melodic player without having to play 1000 notes a second.
You really need to watch the movie "The Wall", it is built around this whole album and would give you more understanding and appreciation for the songs. This song actually has three parts and the original featured a boy's choir.
If you have not already done so, Millie, you need to find yourself 3 hours, take yourself to a darkened room and watch the Pulse concert in its entirety. You can thank me later. 🙂 It will likely be your best 3 hours of the year.
Hi Millie! I was a lighting tech for 14 years during this time. I knew the guy running the light board during this tour in the US. It took them 6 months to program this show! The lighting rig was transported in 14 semi trucks.
As far as I know, something the size of the Pulse Tour had never been done before - and has never been pulled off since (also 30 years later). They had the first stage with a computerized lightshow (unheard of in 1994!) and they had 3 stages all in all: One that they played on, one that was being assembled for the next show and one that was beeing disassembled from the last show! And the lights in front of the stage were airport runway lights (because nothing else powerful enough)!
The guitar solo by guilmor in this live performance is so exquisite and extraordinarily good Pure greatness to a level beyond imagination Incredible performance
The first time seeing the PULSE concert on TV I literally teared up and went weak in the knees. I would have given anything to be at any Pink Floyd concert, but for this I would have given away my first-born puppy dog, and two cats to be named later. That bass-line always gets to me. I tried to learn bass, but I was missing a little thing like any kind of musical talent.
Pink Floyd invented the Light Show and they're the first Band to use Lights with the beat of the Music 🎶!!! Greatest Concert Ever Seen 💪😎🤘 Seen it at Ohio State Stadium with over 150 Thousand People EASY. The Stadium holds over 90 Thousand People EASY and the field was filled with fans and the College students were buying the ticket stubs for 5 bucks and reselling them outside. Packed in like Sardines and I loved every minute of it. 2 Hours and 45 minutes of Music from Heaven and I left the Earth and I never returned!!!!
yesh v bass line has always stood out 4 me, that funky grove which v whole song sways 2, n of course davids lead guitar n v meaning of v song, total package!, nice 2 c ur gen aprecatiing n ur spot on analysis. cheers frm au.
Heavens above, your face .... like a kid in a sweetshop. So many different sweets, so many beautiful layers of sound, from funky guitar to fabulous bass to heavenly keyboards to Nick Mason's simple but atmospheric drumming. It's all there like jars of sweets.
This was my favorite ; Pink Floyd - "One oF These Days" PULSE 1994 Remastered 2019 hole live is fantastic and Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii 1972 is mind blowing concert too. Quality and atmosphere is incredible.
Saw them first in the 60s in a small hall supporting Hendrix and The Move. Seen them many times since. This was not only the best Floyd gig Iv'e ever witnessed, but the best gig I've ever been to.
They played here (Edmonton, Alberta) in the football stadium in 1994. The attendance was about 55,000 people. I was about 10.6 km/6.6 miles away and I could hear them plain as day. It was LOUD!
I was at the same concert in the Netherlands (1994). They actually used Quadrophonic (70's version of Dolby Surround) sound in the Stadium. That sounded awesome. If you like these lights and the Bass, watch "Run Like Hell" from the same concert (Closing song)
The reason it was called the Pulse concert was that they had programmed all the lights to respond to the music, something new at the time. As I've mentioned before, I was at the Kansas City version of this concert in 1994.
Seeing this tour live... was amazing. In Vancouver BC Place they made a 60000 seat stadium into an amazing concert venue. Surround sound for a stadium for the intro for Money. This was the number one concert for me still to this day
This Pulse Concert at Earls Court was part of Pink Floyds' 1994 "The Division Bell" World Tour, it was one of the final shows of the tour, in October. The tour ran from March to October, and the Pulse Concert was the 105th performance of 112 shows, in 68 cities, in 17 countries, and it was a massive undertaking. Moving 3 huge stages around half of the world, with all the equipment needed for each stage to operate independently of each other. You mentioned the lights and sound production, Pink Floyd was always known for their elaborate live performances. Thay had the most state of the art quadrophonic sound system att, in fact, they had 3 separate, identical sound systems, and stages! You see that stage there with all the rigs and equipment, with the incredible lights? Yes, Pink Floyd built and owned 3 of them! Here a quote from Wikipedia about the massiveness of the tour,... "The Division Bell concerts featured even more special effects than the previous tour, including two custom designed airships. Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. All in all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people and an initial investment of US$4 million plus US$25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average audience of 45,000".

Ahhh Millie, I love Pink Floyd. I love their music. It sends me to a special place. I hope you continue to follow them. As always, love your reactions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
These were actually two songs. 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1' and 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2'. But Part 1 was not completed and transitioned quite harsh directly into Part 2. Normally 'The Happiest Day in Our Lives' follows Part 1 and then flows into Part 2.
They did not play the two preceding songs. I saw this tour at Soldier Field. It was only part 2. They mixed it up a bit. This Earls Court show preceded it with Keep Talking, while my show was Money. There was no transition. They began with the children and helicopter after a break.
It transitioned harshly because this video does not contain the complete intro. The only official upload of Pulse on youtube is the 'Restored & Re-edited' version from the official Pink Floyd channel. Everything else is uploaded by Pink Floyd fans, including this one, which unfortunately has part of the intro cut out. Frustratingly most reactors pick this video instead of the official one and they don't even realise that a part is missing.
@Pulsar77 Yes, there are about 15 to 20 seconds missing that have been cut out from the 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' Intro. 'The Happiest Day of Our Lives' was left out because after Roger Waters left the band they agreed in a contract that they shall not play more than four songs from 'The Wall'.
Guy Pratt is the bassist. He came in when Roger Waters departed. He's married to Gala Wright who is daughter of the keyboardist, the late Richard Wright.
Way back in the 1960's, a band called Pink Floyd INVENTED the entire concept of a concert light show! Not kind of, but literally and completely invented it from scratch. Over the years, they innovated all of the big concert effects like movie screens with animation, lasers, stage smoke on a massive scale, even fireworks. All timed precisely to the music, which came somewhat later. Another thing they were famous for early on was the shear massiveness of he equipment package they brought along. Not only a lot of it, but the quality of it. Once upon a time, dressing up in matching suits was about all live bands had thought of. Most used house sound equipment, house lights, etc. So, they are the best at it for a very good reason. It was all their idea to begin with.
Hi Millie! The second guitar solo was Tim Renwick who used to support Al Stewart and was originally in a band called Sutherland Brothers and Quiver. He toured as support guitar with the Floyd and Eric Clapton for years.
Pink Floyd learned from the Beatles (the pioneers of area shows) and the technical limitations they were bound to. They basically had a platform, some underpowered amps, and themselves. Floyd started adding films, lights, and ambiance to be more pleasurable to the ever increasingly sophisticated audiences. Even in the tiny clubs, and parties they started at.
I really enjoyed your reaction Millie. Especially enjoyed your appreciation of the bass and drums - that’s fairly rare in reaction videos. My sister saw The Wall concert in New York City in 1979. She told me it was an experience beyond words and she still says that 45 years later. I haven’t commented on one of your videos for quite a while. I won’t as how you’re doing because you’re obviously doing great! 🤟🏻
Millie, As I watch you immerse yourself in to this classic song by one of the best rock and roll bands EVER. I can not help but think you pretty lady were a hippie chick in another life.... You are enjoying this SO very much.. And your hair is great in this video!!!!! Pink led the pack when it came to light shows and lasers!!!!!! I am pissed off at myself for never seeing them live. Bad Mike!!!!!! I sincerely hope you continue to explore this band and their timeless body of work...... You are SO mature to be SO young..... Rock on (crack on) lady...... Did that guitar solo touch your very soul OR what?????? Pink is one of the best EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Pink re-set the bar for concerts so to speak.
David guilmor for me is the best guitarist and the guitar play on this is well there are no words to discribe how great that guitar solo is Simply magic
I was a lighting tech in Branson Missouri during this tour. We did the very first VeriLite install in a static setting! We installed 1/3 the number of those lights that was on that tour! It took 18 semi trucks just for the lighting rig! The President of VeriLite called and told us he was sending tickets and backstage passes for the entire lighting and sound crew to see them at Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium. The tech they sent to us to assist in the install, was running the lighting board!
Hi Millie, I love a girl who is into Pink Floyd to me one of the biggest classic rock bands ever seen other than AC/DC, I love the song "a great day for for freedom" and "ather gig in the sky". I am an australian viewer if i can have one suggestion for you to check on who i a solo artist who has a great stage presents is a guy by the name of John Farnham and in particular the song "Your the voice". I hope that you will check it out, i think that you love it
IT WAS! 1994 Pulse tour Indianapolis. Mind. Blown! The Floyd were the first to use Quadraphonic sound in concert in 1967. Today we know it as Surround Sound.
One of the best albums ever. So many kids of my age (in our angsty teen years) really disappeared into this album. Of course, it has to be pointed out that a lot of people want to dump Roger Waters down the memory hole and give all the credit to David. But Roger was the primary driving force behind these classic era Pink Floyd albums. If you haven't listened to Roger's "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking", it's an amazing piece of work.
Your reaction to this was absolutely fabulous it's a shame that more people don't play this concerts version of brick in the wall on their blogs their lose I say pink floyd it's all been said stupendous incredible progressive sycadelic rock at its best
Seriously, we went to see Pink Floyd. For the music and ambience. We try to get tickets to later shows, but they would sell out in hour's. Even cheap seats were around a $100. It was always worth it, though.
Since you have already reacted to „Comfortably numb“, pls also do „High Hopes“ from the Pulse Tour. Seems you have been missing out in that. Same is true for „Shine on you crazy diamond“ and „Keep Talking“!
I went to every Pink Floyd Concert from Astronomy Donamie in I believe it was 1965 to their last tour in 1990. Each and every concert was an experience of sight, sound and prophetic lyrics. I also followed Yes, Allen Parsons, Genesis, Emerson, Land Palmer, ELO but, then that's when you could buy a concert ticket for an affordable price, not like now.
The backing singer in the middle (i think) is the fantastic Sam Brown. Stayed at her house/Studio once. She was a lovely lady. Very down to earth despite having a top 10 hit with STOP! :)
Yea, the Wall is a fantastic album. The Pulse concert is amazing. Every song is performed excellent. I refer to David Gilmour as Mr Perfection. He always seems to play and sing perfectly 🎸. Yes, Pink Floyd was a game changer. So much more to find and enjoy! 😊🎉❤
Pink Floyd is the creator of the Light Show and they started back in the late 60's and was big back then and 60 plus years later and people are still Amazed by how Great they were. Light Years ahead of everyone else. I seen that concert Best Show Ever seen and I seen a lot of Concerts.
Another epic band and an astonishing performance. If you thought this was good anyone that hasn't seen it should check out Comfortably Numb, also from the Pulse concert in 1994, which has what is arguably one of the best solo guitar performances of ALL time. No joke, it is absolutely epic. The whole Pink Floyd The Wall film was played on an almost weekly basis when I was in a Student Halls back in the late 80's.
This is taken from "Pulse" a great tour, but then Pink Floyd have always done great tours... I am Italian, although I have always loved Pink Floyd I have only seen them live once in my life, in Venice in the 80s and it is an unrepeatable experience.... think that they set up the stage on the water and about halfway through the concert they had to lower the volumes because the monuments began to collapse due to the vibrations.... I'm honestly surprised you don't know "The Wall".🙂
I had tickets to see them in November 1979 at the Nassau Colosseum in NYC. I broke both hips and couldn’t go. I was so ticked off! You must watch the movie to understand what is really going on.
If you have not already done it, have a look and listen to Money from this concert album. They play a monster version of this tune here. I have seen them dozens of times, including Roger Waters, David Gilmour tours in addition to the times I saw the whole band, and this is the best version of Money they have ever done. Most especially if you love the funky breaks. Money, for sure.
Pink Floyd is the ne band that sound as good live as they did out of the studio recordings.
Music aside the words of the song are so relevant today.
love the backup singers
I love seeing the young people of today appreciating the music that I grew up listening to..........Go Millie.
😁😁😁😁
Same here!!!!!
Same i am 63 and o live up with this one it is even insane this day!
Thats exactly it, seeing young people liking the old stuff rather than constantly saying cheesy, and its really nice to see for sure
Just goes to show how good the music is and how timeless a lot of it was.
that bass line with guitar chops just sets the rhythm even without the drums... you take the drums away and you can still bop to the song. Amazing
Well said. As a drummer myself, I think the bass line is fantastic. And bassist Guy Pratt is absolutely nailing it.
At the end of the Pulse Tour, Pink Floyd played 12 nights at Earls Court in London. I was there for 3 of those nights, including the night that they taped the Pulse video. I’ll never forget it.
So you`re the reason i couldn`t get a ticket you you fiend)
Christmas 1979, getting "The Wall" album as a gift. Last year in High School and this track hits No 1 in the UK charts. It spoke to so many of us then and is still relevant today.
Yep, the perfect album for the angsty intelligent high schooler. I spent MANY an herbally enhanced hour with this blasting in the headphones. It's one of those 'world within itself' type albums that I really love.
I got the album in January of 1980 as a 20 year old! Listened to it endlessly!!!!!
the audience is totally mesmerized, just taking it all in. must be awsome to watch it live
Best show i ever saw you ask? April 1994 Dallas TX (Division Bell) 2nd night. My story begins with "Pink Floyd made it rain". Came out for the encore and the skies blackend, lightning, and the old Texas stadium, with the open roof, absolutely POURED on most of the crowd. (Stage was covered, no risk to the band). It was a religious experience.
Sorrow, Comfortably Numb both from pulse concert. Great reaction
7:33 As a Pink Floyd fan I can tell you that you were very good in your reaction to one of the most beautiful songs ever... congratulations again ❤️
The Vari-Lite stage lighting system. Genesis, yes, THAT Genesis, became an early investor when the first crude prototypes were demonstrated to them in 1980.
Still have my Ticket Stub, June 14th, 1994 Indy, Indiana at the Dome!
David Gilmour -- among the best! Many of us love him because he showed future guitar players that you can be a great, melodic player without having to play 1000 notes a second.
A live masterclass in how to play guitar and he makes it look so effortless
Timing is everything.
Gilmour ;)
@@TonySpinach Fixed.
Time to shape the note......... and space to express it...................Gilmour is a master at that craft
A timeless classic. When this song came out it went number 1 on the bill board charts on my 18 birthday. I couldn’t wait to finish High School.
I was there, and it was every bit as amazing as you think it is, and nobody holding a mobile phone.
You really need to watch the movie "The Wall", it is built around this whole album and would give you more understanding and appreciation for the songs. This song actually has three parts and the original featured a boy's choir.
If you have not already done so, Millie, you need to find yourself 3 hours, take yourself to a darkened room and watch the Pulse concert in its entirety. You can thank me later. 🙂 It will likely be your best 3 hours of the year.
Ooooh I will, thanks 😊
I watch it every couple months when I’m alone turn the lights out and listen to the surround sound 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good quality headphones, set at max volume, will help!!!!
Totally agree
How about a projector?
Have you ever heard a song called Time By Pink Floyd? It's off the Album Dark Side of the Moon
I love that Millie and so many others love Pink Floyd like we did when we were kids back in the 70s.
On the original album The children singing were students at Islington Green school in north London.
@5:58 guitarist soloist transition. Don't want to miss this one!
5:49… Yup… that’s how everyone reacts listening to Pink Floyd❤️
Hi Millie! I was a lighting tech for 14 years during this time. I knew the guy running the light board during this tour in the US. It took them 6 months to program this show! The lighting rig was transported in 14 semi trucks.

That's pretty mental hahaha awesome
Runway lights are not all that bright. You don't want a blinded pilot trying to land an airplane.
All of this!!! That stage was amazing!!! Seeing it live was THE best concert ever
The guitar solo by guilmor in this live performance is so exquisite and extraordinarily good
Pure greatness to a level beyond imagination
Incredible performance
when Waters recently toured The Wall, in every city he'd get a kids' choir to sing on this song live. it was pretty cool.
The first time seeing the PULSE concert on TV I literally teared up and went weak in the knees. I would have given anything to be at any Pink Floyd concert, but for this I would have given away my first-born puppy dog, and two cats to be named later. That bass-line always gets to me.

Just to annoy you I was at one of those concerts....
@@rogershore3128 Outstanding, and yes, I'm jealous. LOL
@@firedoc5 Good... Couldn't resist...
dont allow lack of talent to stop u- just look at todays music charts!
@@richtensail But I respect the music and know not to insult it. LOL
Pink Floyd invented the Light Show and they're the first Band to use Lights with the beat of the Music 🎶!!! Greatest Concert Ever Seen
💪😎🤘 Seen it at Ohio State Stadium with over 150 Thousand People EASY. The Stadium holds over 90 Thousand People EASY and the field was filled with fans and the College students were buying the ticket stubs for 5 bucks and reselling them outside. Packed in like Sardines and I loved every minute of it. 2 Hours and 45 minutes of Music from Heaven and I left the Earth and I never returned!!!!

You need to watch "One of these days" from the same concert. It is a non-vocal instrumental that features the base guitarist.
Heavens above, your face .... like a kid in a sweetshop. So many different sweets, so many beautiful layers of sound, from funky guitar to fabulous bass to heavenly keyboards to Nick Mason's simple but atmospheric drumming. It's all there like jars of sweets.
Any Live Pulse song is amazing.
The base is my fav
This was my favorite ; Pink Floyd - "One oF These Days" PULSE 1994 Remastered 2019 hole live is fantastic and Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii
1972 is mind blowing concert too. Quality and atmosphere is incredible.
Saw them first in the 60s in a small hall supporting Hendrix and The Move. Seen them many times since. This was not only the best Floyd gig Iv'e ever witnessed, but the best gig I've ever been to.
I'm always amazed by how things sound with two drummers on stage. 😊 Both Nick Mason and Gary Wallis click really well together.
I also like the video version also of this song
They played here (Edmonton, Alberta) in the football stadium in 1994. The attendance was about 55,000 people. I was about 10.6 km/6.6 miles away and I could hear them plain as day. It was LOUD!
I hear you , I worked the shows in Vancouver BC Place Stage Front right. WOW....!!!!
So fun watching you see this for the first time. I was at the concert and it was the best experience of my life.
I was at the same concert in the Netherlands (1994). They actually used Quadrophonic (70's version of Dolby Surround) sound in the Stadium. That sounded awesome.
If you like these lights and the Bass, watch "Run Like Hell" from the same concert (Closing song)
The reason it was called the Pulse concert was that they had programmed all the lights to respond to the music, something new at the time. As I've mentioned before, I was at the Kansas City version of this concert in 1994.
Ah I see, that's nice to know.
Seeing this tour live... was amazing. In Vancouver BC Place they made a 60000 seat stadium into an amazing concert venue. Surround sound for a stadium for the intro for Money.
This was the number one concert for me still to this day
This Pulse Concert at Earls Court was part of Pink Floyds' 1994 "The Division Bell" World Tour, it was one of the final shows of the tour, in October. The tour ran from March to October, and the Pulse Concert was the 105th performance of 112 shows, in 68 cities, in 17 countries, and it was a massive undertaking.
Moving 3 huge stages around half of the world, with all the equipment needed for each stage to operate independently of each other.
You mentioned the lights and sound production, Pink Floyd was always known for their elaborate live performances. Thay had the most state of the art quadrophonic sound system att, in fact, they had 3 separate, identical sound systems, and stages!

Just amazing I have the dvd of the concert.
Oh ya insane for sure 😂❤
Ahhh Millie, I love Pink Floyd. I love their music. It sends me to a special place. I hope you continue to follow them.
As always, love your reactions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I. Believe when I Heard this. First time I was in. Germany
The greatest band of all time. Gilmore can turn his guitar into an orchestra.
These were actually two songs. 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1' and 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2'. But Part 1 was not completed and transitioned quite harsh directly into Part 2. Normally 'The Happiest Day in Our Lives' follows Part 1 and then flows into Part 2.
They did not play the two preceding songs. I saw this tour at Soldier Field. It was only part 2. They mixed it up a bit. This Earls Court show preceded it with Keep Talking, while my show was Money. There was no transition. They began with the children and helicopter after a break.
It transitioned harshly because this video does not contain the complete intro. The only official upload of Pulse on youtube is the 'Restored & Re-edited' version from the official Pink Floyd channel. Everything else is uploaded by Pink Floyd fans, including this one, which unfortunately has part of the intro cut out. Frustratingly most reactors pick this video instead of the official one and they don't even realise that a part is missing.
@Pulsar77 Yes, there are about 15 to 20 seconds missing that have been cut out from the 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' Intro. 'The Happiest Day of Our Lives' was left out because after Roger Waters left the band they agreed in a contract that they shall not play more than four songs from 'The Wall'.
I went to three of the Pulse concerts in Indianapolis, Chicago, and Colorado. They were incredible.
Guy Pratt is the bassist. He came in when Roger Waters departed. He's married to Gala Wright who is daughter of the keyboardist, the late Richard Wright.
I don't have to imagine being there....... I was there and the feeling will never leave me.
It was a life changing experience.

Since the late 70s till now i have been to well over a thousand concerts,the top three light shows i have see is!
1 ELO
2 Rush
3 Pink Floyd
I recommend the song On the Turning Away by Pink Floyd.
I really enjoyed your reaction Millie. Especially enjoyed your appreciation of the bass and drums - that’s fairly rare in reaction videos.

Hi Millie, I love a girl who is into Pink Floyd to me one of the biggest classic rock bands ever seen other than AC/DC, I love the song "a great day for for freedom" and "ather gig in the sky". I am an australian viewer if i can have one suggestion for you to check on who i a solo artist who has a great stage presents is a guy by the name of John Farnham and in particular the song "Your the voice". I hope that you will check it out, i think that you love it
IT WAS! 1994 Pulse tour Indianapolis. Mind. Blown! The Floyd were the first to use Quadraphonic sound in concert in 1967. Today we know it as Surround Sound.
One of the best albums ever. So many kids of my age (in our angsty teen years) really disappeared into this album. Of course, it has to be pointed out that a lot of people want to dump Roger Waters down the memory hole and give all the credit to David. But Roger was the primary driving force behind these classic era Pink Floyd albums.
If you haven't listened to Roger's "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking", it's an amazing piece of work.
Your reaction to this was absolutely fabulous it's a shame that more people don't play this concerts version of brick in the wall on their blogs their lose I say pink floyd it's all been said stupendous incredible progressive sycadelic rock at its best
Thank you so much 😊 and agreed
All their concerts from day one were insane.
great reaction, if you liked that you should react to " comfortably numb " from the same pulse concert,
it will blow you away
They carried around 2-3 semis full of equipment for their concerts. Incredible.
Seriously, we went to see Pink Floyd. For the music and ambience. We try to get tickets to later shows, but they would sell out in hour's. Even cheap seats were around a $100.
It was always worth it, though.
I'm 65 now and Seen them live two times as a younger fella and man the were fantastic!!!!!!!!!
I seen Pink Floyd at toronto where there was a 110,000 people there , they have one of the biggest stage productions of all time. The stage is huge .
I saw this tour about 2 months before this show in America.
Since you have already reacted to „Comfortably numb“, pls also do „High Hopes“ from the Pulse Tour. Seems you have been missing out in that. Same is true for „Shine on you crazy diamond“ and „Keep Talking“!
Millie I saw the Band on this tour it was soooooooo good.
Reacction excellent.millie.classic song of pink Floyd🎵🥁🎸❤️🎤🇬🇧
Yes it was an experience. Center field, 20 yard line, UTEP Stadium, El Paso, Texas....
I went to every Pink Floyd Concert from Astronomy Donamie in I believe it was 1965 to their last tour in 1990. Each and every concert was an experience of sight, sound and prophetic lyrics. I also followed Yes, Allen Parsons, Genesis, Emerson, Land Palmer, ELO but, then that's when you could buy a concert ticket for an affordable price, not like now.
Saw this concert two nights in a row... took my Mom the first night, and my best bud the second night.
(also saw "The Wall. I'm 63)
You should watch the same concert great gig in the sky . Love all your reactions
For Pink Floyd and Nightwish, I always like to come back and leave you a well-deserved like.
The backing singer in the middle (i think) is the fantastic Sam Brown. Stayed at her house/Studio once. She was a lovely lady. Very down to earth despite having a top 10 hit with STOP! :)
I LOVE when you say “The Bass”!
Amazing song
Please check out more from PULSE. You will not regret it!
Yea, the Wall is a fantastic album. The Pulse concert is amazing. Every song is performed excellent. I refer to David Gilmour as Mr Perfection. He always seems to play and sing perfectly 🎸. Yes, Pink Floyd was a game changer. So much more to find and enjoy! 😊🎉❤
Pink Floyd is the creator of the Light Show and they started back in the late 60's and was big back then and 60 plus years later and people are still Amazed by how Great they were. Light Years ahead of everyone else. I seen that concert Best Show Ever seen and I seen a lot of Concerts.
Another epic band and an astonishing performance. If you thought this was good anyone that hasn't seen it should check out Comfortably Numb, also from the Pulse concert in 1994, which has what is arguably one of the best solo guitar performances of ALL time. No joke, it is absolutely epic.
The whole Pink Floyd The Wall film was played on an almost weekly basis when I was in a Student Halls back in the late 80's.
i can imagie to be there because I went to the concert in France 1994 at Chantilly PInk Floyd my favorite band ever
Brilliant Band i was blessed to grow up with so many great bands 👍👍
Your new curled hair takes your cuteness level though the roof!
This track was everywhere in the Summer of 1980.
This is taken from "Pulse" a great tour, but then Pink Floyd have always done great tours...
I am Italian, although I have always loved Pink Floyd I have only seen them live once in my life, in Venice in the 80s and it is an unrepeatable experience.... think that they set up the stage on the water and about halfway through the concert they had to lower the volumes because the monuments began to collapse due to the vibrations....
I'm honestly surprised you don't know "The Wall".🙂
Yup. Saw this tour live in 1994 at the Toronto show. Stills gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
I had tickets to see them in November 1979 at the Nassau Colosseum in NYC. I broke both hips and couldn’t go. I was so ticked off!
You must watch the movie to understand what is really going on.
If you have not already done it, have a look and listen to Money from this concert album.
They play a monster version of this tune here.
I have seen them dozens of times, including Roger Waters, David Gilmour tours in addition to the times I saw the whole band, and this is the best version of Money they have ever done.
Most especially if you love the funky breaks.
Money, for sure.
