I think Terry Kath has a say in best solo ever! Not saying the Gilmore solo isn’t in the top 10 or the best, but there’s lots of solos that fit best ever.
Amen! NEVER intereupt this guitar solo! By doing so, you break the trance David is taking you on and you can't get it back! It's like going on a drug trip without the drugs. I have the Dark Side of the Moon album but this is not on that one. Been fan since I was 14 and I'm 60 now. I love you 2! Thank you!
@@revylokesh1783 I'm not sure about the heat, I've been playing in bands since the 70s and I remember the old style PAR lights were VERY HOT. I'm pretty sure by the time this show took place the lighting industry had moved into LEDs but I'm not positive.
I've been playing guitar since 1981 and hearing this version of the guitar solo for the millionth time still brings tears to eyes. Greatest solo of all time in my book. Dave Gilmour is incredible...
I've been playing since 1979 and I am the same way. The outro is not incredibly hard to learn, but impossible to master. It is a perfect example of how the emotion put into the playing can effect the sound coming out of the cabinet. Playing fast does not mean you're good, just that your fast.
I am no expert on guitar playing , but nothing comes close to the feeling it gives on this song even after listening for the millionth time , thats my opinion it is the best ever
The thing I really love about your reaction is that you mention the importance of the crowd, as it really does affect the senses and adds to the feeling of you being part of it. For those who don't know of Vin Scully, the late and masterful announcer for the Dodgers, he used to say that the best thing he could do during a moment like this is to shut up, as the crowd had a lot more to say than he did, and I love that. I'm amazed by the amount of reviewers that cut off the video without listening to the crowd, as I think they're missing out on a very important part of the experience. Great reaction. You guys are fun.
David Gilmour has such a distinctive voice. This is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs, it has such a chill vibe. It's also good to see Richard Wright again, we lost him too soon.
I was at this concert at Ahoy in Rotterdam (1993). The best acoustics ever for a venue. When the ball came down and opened up, the People around me just fell still... this was an experience.. not just a concert. (Was the year they released Pulse) which had a flashing light in the cover...( it took a year to run out) still have it.
With Pink Floyd at this time. There's only three members. Guitarist David Gilmour. Keyboardist Rick Wright. And Drummer Nick Mason. But a lot of side players. There's only one drummer in Nick Mason. They did hire a percussionist. One who multiplays several instruments when needed in the song.
@@crazyfingers19 the sum of their parts was much greater than the whole for sure, but too many forget the importance of Nick Mason and Rick Wright in the band because of the exceptional musicianship of David Gilmour and the writing talent of Roger Waters.
Hello guys I really enjoyed your reactions I’m a Mexican American brothers and I grew up listening old Rock man I seen a lot of concerts in my life and I came across your reactions on UA-cam love it thanks guys for listening to old school rock
I am only 18 years old, and I can't even find the right words to describe the effect Pink Floyd have on my imagination. They have the power to make you travel to the limits of your own imagination, allowing you to escape the hurts and troubles of the real world. Is there a better band than Pink Floyd and a better guitarist than Dave Gilmour ? No. There never will be a class act like them again. I envy all of you "grey hairs" who grew up with them. You were the luckiest humans of all times.
I truly feel sorry for your generation. As you'll never enjoy the countless great Rock Bands like Pink Floyd that we did. You'll never be able to go to clubs with friends without "showing your papers" or wearing a mask. I mean seriously, how is your generation going to be able to meet people with everyone being so afraid to live. Due to corrupt politicians, you're never going to enjoy the freedoms that my generation had and that angers me. As there's absolutely no reason other than government tyranny for taking away your FREEDOM!
I love reading comments like this! My first experience with Pink Floyd was a concert in the 1973. My buddy asked if I wanted to go to a Pink Floyd concert. A what? A Pink what? Okay. Sure. OH. MY. GOD.!!! It took days for me to absorb it. I was stunned. It was like nothing I'd ever heard before. Almost 50 years later their music still does the same thing to me. It's spiritual.
No need for envy. You can grow up with it too. It’s always going to be there for you. If you haven’t already, get a set of headphones in a darkened room and listen to Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish. It’s life changing.
I'm 64 and still get an emotional reaction every time I hear it. Dave can make his guitar scream, cry or go wild, and you can count on one hand the guitarists who can emotionally do that to us. Pink Floyd is one of a kind.
David’s second solo is the greatest piece of guitar work ever recorded in the history of mankind. He can put more soul into one bend than most guitarists can muster in an entire career.
I was there the audience the night this was recorded and I heard that solo not only with me ears but with my soul. Within the first minute I was blown away and will never see a gig like that ever again. Please please do yourselves a favour and listen to Pink Floyd Time and listen to the one with the lyrics. I think you will be take to another place and get hit with reality. I am so glad you enjoyed the music.
Not two drummers, just a percussionist. No gizmos or voice auto tune this is just pure musicianship from one of the best bands ever to grace a concert stage. David Gilmour is not a "shredder" he instead puts soul and expression into his lead guitar work. He turns a guitar into an emotions generator. It often reduces me to tears. Listen to wish you were here and more tracks from Dark Side Of The Moon.
No auto tune....pure talent. Dave and Roger did all the vocals and wrote most of their songs. I was 14 when this song originally came out and the Wall blew my mind. This song sings to my soul and when this concert came out I grabbed a copy and later when the DVD was available, I got that too. This song has lifted me out of deep depression, brought me to tears, made me smile.... I believe Dave Gilmour doesn't plug his guitar into an amplifier, he plugs it into the Universe's soul and shows it to us in all its pain and its glory.
My little brother died Dec. 2020. He was kept Comfortably Numb for 3 days, as there was nothing the Docs could do to save him. He was a guitarist and played this tune in gigs.. Watching you react to this, is the first time I was able to hear this song, in the past 10 months, without crying. Thank you!
Nice shout out to the keyboard player, Richard Wright(rip). Gilmour and Water usually get most of the credit for the songs and sound, but Wright's contribution to the sound of Pink Floyd and the beautiful music he gets out of his instrument cannot be overstated.
David Gilmore squeezes every emotion out of that Fender guitar. He also varies this solo in each session. He builds, slides differently and rings out different notes as he feels them.
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard. Now buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Pink Floyd's live sound is almost indistiguishable from their studio sound, they are THAT GOOD! They also have the absolute BEST stage shows you will ever see! EVER!
I think this is the absolute best version ever of this song. This single performance outstrips them all. Others say Pompeii is the best. In my eyes it's close; a bit edgier than this one, and awesome in its own right, but to me yhe Pulse performance tied everything together. It was perfectly orchestrated snd mixed. Nothing could be done better.
I remember hearing this way back for the first time. And at the time I had no clue on soloing etc. And I heard them, and still was blown away. To me the first time was that tone change in sound from the first solo to the second. And the minor more epic full feel wow change. The notes are great choices, but the tone use from solo to solo was a huge looked over tech thing.
This is actually not the last song for this concert. "Comfortably Numb" is sandwiched between "Wish You Were Here" and "Run Like Hell", which comes up next as the concert closer. Those last three songs follow the second half of the concert where they play The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.
This makes me cry every time I watch it. I mean, jeezus christ. I feel blessed to even live on the same planet as David Gilmour. P.S. Suzi you have the prettiest smile, it always makes my day to see it!
I'm 70 years old and was actively attending concerts in the Mecca of concerts . . . Madison Square Garden in NYC during the 1970s, during Pink Floyd's heyday ! I was privileged to see them live 5 times over those years. This recording is the epitome and David Gilmour's guitar solo is so pure that it makes your bones ache ! No one compares ! BELIEVE ME . . . I've seen them ALL ! Thanks for the review !
Hi guys I'm a 51 old man and I was there at this very concert in 02 arena London UK. Talk about emotional I was so emotional even more than my wedding day. Pink Floyd are a British sensation David gilmore the gutitar sole was best ever to this day.
I worked these shows in the Summer of 94 at Yankee and Giants Stadium,ran a Spotlight for 2 nights at Giant's, before starting the build for Woodstock 94. It was a Great Year for Rock and Roll!
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.
I may be wrong but that looks like a "Leslie" which was essentially a spinning speaker producing a Doppler like effect. Many progressive bands used these in the 70s. I saw many of them.
Yes. The Leslie speaker, pretty much always paired with a Hammond B3 organ. The Leslie speaker is a combined amplifier and loudspeaker that projects the signal from an electric or electronic instrument and modifies the sound by rotating a baffle chamber in front of the loudspeakers. A similar effect is provided by a rotating system of horns in front of the treble driver. But, I don’t think the 3 rotating lights on stage during the chorus of the song are speakers projecting sound. To me they’re just lighting effects rotating to the rhythm of the piece. However, I admit that the very first time I watched this DVD and saw the rotating “beacon” lights, I immediately thought of the Leslie speakers I’d seen back in the late ‘60’s used by bands that would play in my hometown armory in Oregon…The Rascals, The Wailers, Paul Revere and the Raiders (I think), and many others.
@@knvbcoach I saw ELP at Assembly Hall, Champaign, IL in ~1973. Keith had one for his B3. They played side 1 of “Tarkus” for the encore. Saw “The Rascals” play in a parking lot Battle of the Bands. They won.

I saw them in '94' at the Oakland Coliseum in Cal. Goose bumps for 2 hours. They had that 8' disco ball come out and shot it with lasers. The entire stadium was a "Moving Liquid plasma" of Lasers. Shedmen56
This song destroys everyone of my senses every time I hear it! Gilmour is the Greatest guitarist Ever! I challenge anyone to make a guitar sing like he does!
One of the few perks of being an old bastard is that I got to go and see these guys twice,including this gig at Earls Court…one of the best shows I’ve been to.
I was there the night this was recorded. Also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam. Those gigs will live with me till my dying day. Very very special.
It’s really the only guitar solo of that length that I didn’t get the feeling of it being… excessive or like mastibatory. That solo is exactly what it needs to be and honestly he could’ve kept going forever and I’d have been super happy about it.
When I was 25 yo, I saw this concert 20. Sepember 1994 in Rome Italy. When Pink Floyd performed this in the US, they traveled with 4 48' military grade mobile generators. There wasn't a stadium built with enough electrical input to run the show. That's what happens when you forget to give a budget figure to your lighting effects designer. And that sound comes from a 220,000 watt sound system. The glitter ball from "Comfortably Numb" was over 15ft in diameter, and the lasers were a new experimental design, and Pink Floyd cornered the entire world's supply at the time. For this Tour they had 3 separate stage sets - one in use, one being dismantled from the previous venue and one being set up at the next. They need 3-4 days to building on stage up 3 days for re-building. Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180ft (55 m) long and featuring a 130ft (40 m) arch. All in all there was 700 tons of gear transported on 53 articulated trucks, with a road crew of 161 and an initial investment of US$ 4 million plus US$ 25 million of running costs just to stage. They also used an Antonov military cargo plane plus 2 x cargo Boeing 747s. But it would all have been for nothing if the music wasn't also epic.
You are so right about the vibe masters..... so many little pieces like the chimes and the light explosion after "They'll be no more AGHHHHH" ....so cool.
I was at that show as well. I was a freshman at NCSU. We had to move out of the dorms the next morning. I swear half the dorm had finished exams days before and just stayed to go to that show. There was also a solar eclipse earlier in the day.
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.
'You know what's crazy...?" yeah it's crazy that I got just as pumped watching you guys watch THAT as I do from watching Pink Floyd play it! That was fun!
That keyboardist is Richard Wright. He passed away in 2008. He and guitarist David Gilmour had such a rapport, they often played off of each other. Original bassist and lyricist Roger Waters might tell you that he was The Floyd, but it was always Richard Wright that was the center of their sound. One of the best examples of these two is Echoes, a 25 minute song, from a David Gilmour show Live in Gdańsk. It's here on UA-cam if you're interested. It's the final time they played Echoes before Rick passed.
A few of my friends bought scalper tickets along a freeway offramp Los Angeles mid 80s and we were randomly seated next to sound check on the floor in the back at The LA Forum. An extended solo of CN, it was a truly remarkable concert.
I'm 57, and when I was a teenager, black lights and flourescent posters were in all of our bedrooms. We'd go to the mall and find the most tripped out, bizarre posters and just paper our walls with them. Then we'd grab the beanbag chairs, throw on Pink Floyd, and just drift in the dark, staring at mutli-colored, flourescent chameleons sitting inside moebius loops, staring at fractal butterflies... 😎💝
It! Was! MAGIC! You have no idea how CRISP and how CLEAR and how LOUD it was. Somehow felt like a warm blanket... That might have been the shrooms though. :-D
Great reaction! Now do "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse concert. Another note, keep on listening to all of Pink Floyd albums (they first came out in 1965) ... I guarantee you both will become a life long Pink Floyd fans.
Totally agree with Jim K. Now just wait for the requests for more Floyd reactions, you will be drawn in, have your minds altered, just remember, that once you are in, it´s very difficult to leave, I think we have found two Floydians who have made their way home.
@@davehagi9883 - I give you thumbs up, yep, I'm a Floydian since 1980 and have always made my way home even before going to work I listen to them to calm me and the same when I clock out from a shitty day at work....matter of fact or any reason whatsoever.
Hey guys...that "spinning thing" is a Doppola rotating speaker set (3 were used for the Division Bell tour). Gilmour had been using rotating speakers from various makers since 1972 in the studio. FYI, when touring post-Waters, Floyd used two keyboards (original Richard Wright and Jon Carin), two drummers (original Nick Mason and Gary Wallis), and rhythm guitarists Phil Manzanera or Tim Rewick). Guy Pratt took over on bass when Roger Waters left.
I was at the San Diego show when I was 22 back in April of 1994 in Jack Murphy Stadium(RIP). That is exactly how Pink Floyd sounded live. Best concert I have ever been to.
David Gilmour coaxing every ounce of emotion out of the solo... that's master class lead guitar playing. I know the younger generation doesn't get into these long solos as much as us older folks, but ya gotta appreciate the creativity and skill.
In 1994 in an outdoor stadium at the end of June in Canada, I was privileged to attended Pink Floyds Pulse tour concert with 70,000 other wonderful people. I can still remember that evening like it was yesterday. Even in an outdoor stadium with that many people, the sound quality was like sitting in your living room with the headphones on. In October of the same year in the same stadium I also attended the Rolling Stones concert. I was glad to have attended both concerts because I can honestly say that the $39.00 CAD ticket price for Pink Floyds concert was a far better deal than the $65.00 CAD ticket price for the Rolling Stones. I love both bands but there is no comparison between the 2 concerts. Pink Floyd is the best show that I have ever seen in my 62 years here on this earth. I watch this full concert at least 3 times a year. I am glad to see you guys enjoying this as much as some of us older people do. Keep up with the great reactions. Say hi to John and Dolly.
Pink Floyd has a way of putting you in a trance. This performance always make me feel like I am floating around in a liquid dream…….like your soul has left your body and you’re looking down on it in wild amazement. Ethereal moment in time for the lucky few who were there.
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David and he gave us both a signed album. We chatted for 22 minutes while he signed others albums. 35 lucky people won tickets. It was AWESOME show.
I don’t think anyone has even come closer to Pink Floyd when it comes to their concerts and how the stage is created to go hand in hand with their music
Floyd is the Master of Sound and this is one of their greatest performances. I've listened to it a thousand times and will probably listen to it another thousand times.
You have just heard the best guitar solo ever.
You just heard the best guitar solo in the history of rock music LIVE
True story
Keep your so called guitar shredders give me a dose of David Gilmore any day of the week
His solo work on the turning awzy is up there I reckon
Not just rock history , this is the best solo in the music history
I think Terry Kath has a say in best solo ever! Not saying the Gilmore solo isn’t in the top 10 or the best, but there’s lots of solos that fit best ever.
I'm 63 years old and heard this song thousands of times and still makes me feel like it's the first time. David Gilmore is a god.
Same age. Same feelings mate.
Sorry I have to disagree..........he's so so much better than any god could ever be!
I’m 70 and I agree 100%
@@ericmorgan204 Oh dear! the age is going up, 75 here.
Man gave us Gibson guitars, but God gave us David Gilmore to play them! 54 here btw 😊
The most epic guitar solo in the rock history. 🤘🤘🤘
The best solo after Time.
Actually two of the best solos in the same song.
Gilmour doesnt plug his guitar into an amp, he plugs it straight into your soul and the band magnifies it
Was there at Earls Court in 94, still blows me away just thinking about it GREATEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE
@@monte5293 what about "On The Turning Away" comes a very close 2nd
The greatest guitar solo ever, no shredding just pure melody, symphony, phenomenally great. David Gilmour is a guitar God.
I guess I will speak on behalf of everybody: THANK YOU for not stopping during a David Gilmour solo.
Amen!
Truth be told, after he paused earlier in the middle of a line, I had my finger on the DISLIKE button waiting for it to happen! lol
Amen! NEVER intereupt this guitar solo! By doing so, you break the trance David is taking you on and you can't get it back! It's like going on a drug trip without the drugs. I have the Dark Side of the Moon album but this is not on that one. Been fan since I was 14 and I'm 60 now. I love you 2! Thank you!
You beat me to it!
Cause I know this version and video for years I started to watch rections. No one so far stopped this solo. Only Pink floyd can do this :)
This was 27 years ago and STILL no one has topped this stage show or the unbelievable sound quality. Pink Floyd was always ahead of their time.
Damm right not even close
I wonder how much power that lightshow cost (and how much heat it produced on stage as a byproduct)
@@revylokesh1783 I'm not sure about the heat, I've been playing in bands since the 70s and I remember the old style PAR lights were VERY HOT. I'm pretty sure by the time this show took place the lighting industry had moved into LEDs but I'm not positive.
..ABSOLUTELY.. POSITIVITY..AGREE..WHAT I HAVE SAID.. WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING..HAVE SEEN NOTHING THAT COMES CLOSE..
Roger’s Wall tour was fairly spectacular also

The complete best in music and lyrics. For we gray hairs, this song means so much
And arguably the best solo of all time. No fancy guitar acrobatics just pure emotion.
And light shows.
"For we gray hairs, this song means so much."
You still have hair? Jealous much!
We no hairs like it too.
@@Lightningrod75 And most of the Grey hairs are on the chin.
Richard Wright always painted the backdrop, for the boys to play on. A wonderfully talented, yet understated keyboard player. One of the greats! RIP
Was holding my breath during the guitar solo and praying you didn`t pause it. You didn`t, so well done. Great reaction!
The best I've ever watched. Pink Floyd is my number one ever!!
I am fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd perform the Pulse concert back in 1995. Never seen a total concert experience better.
You did well. Never interrupt the most beautiful guitar solo ever
The spinning thing is a Leslie rotating speaker. They’ve used it for decades
Treat yourselves...watch the entire concert. Masters at work.

@@thomassanchez8956 15 I think,all sold out.
Cockley red, I went to one of the nights at Earls Court. Simply mind blowing.
Anyone else think Guy Pratt looks a little like a young John Deacon?
saw them live twice in the 70's.......outstanding!!!!! RIP Syd Barrett
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard. Now buckle up and enjoy the ride.
At their concert they give you an out of body experience pure and simple
Pink Floyd's live sound is almost indistiguishable from their studio sound, they are THAT GOOD! They also have the absolute BEST stage shows you will ever see! EVER!
I think this is the absolute best version ever of this song. This single performance outstrips them all. Others say Pompeii is the best. In my eyes it's close; a bit edgier than this one, and awesome in its own right, but to me yhe Pulse performance tied everything together. It was perfectly orchestrated snd mixed. Nothing could be done better.
Jep I saw them two times 1986 in Hannover and no you can`t imagin whats happend there !
I would say they are BETTER live. Not a lot of bands can say that. Judas Priest is one.
Greatest concert in music history!!!
Pink Floyd , masters of all the details. All the details. There will never be another band like this. No way.
I remember hearing this way back for the first time. And at the time I had no clue on soloing etc. And I heard them, and still was blown away. To me the first time was that tone change in sound from the first solo to the second. And the minor more epic full feel wow change. The notes are great choices, but the tone use from solo to solo was a huge looked over tech thing.
Atmosphere changers and vibe makers. I love it.
have a look on UA-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
One of the best solos of all time
THE best...!!!
The best*
One of don't you mean the BEST....
Closely followed by "On The Turning Away"...!!
Neil Young's 2nd solo in Danger Bird, the live version from the Year of The Horse album is even better.
Great Great Reaction you two I love watching your faces say's it all
sions
This is actually not the last song for this concert. "Comfortably Numb" is sandwiched between "Wish You Were Here" and "Run Like Hell", which comes up next as the concert closer. Those last three songs follow the second half of the concert where they play The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.
This makes me cry every time I watch it. I mean, jeezus christ. I feel blessed to even live on the same planet as David Gilmour.
P.S. Suzi you have the prettiest smile, it always makes my day to see it!

I'm 70 years old and was actively attending concerts in the Mecca of concerts . . . Madison Square Garden in NYC during the 1970s, during Pink Floyd's heyday ! I was privileged to see them live 5 times over those years. This recording is the epitome and David Gilmour's guitar solo is so pure that it makes your bones ache ! No one compares ! BELIEVE ME . . . I've seen them ALL ! Thanks for the review !
It's more than a song. It's art. I discovered Pink Floyd in my 30s, maybe 40s. When the time is right, you will understand!
Hi guys I'm a 51 old man and I was there at this very concert in 02 arena London UK. Talk about emotional I was so emotional even more than my wedding day. Pink Floyd are a British sensation David gilmore the gutitar sole was best ever to this day.
This wasn’t at the O2 Arena. That venue didn’t even exist in 1994! This was at Earl’s Court.
Every song from this concert is awe inspiring! Not one will disappoint you!! It’s one of those rare perfect performances!
I worked these shows in the Summer of 94 at Yankee and Giants Stadium,ran a Spotlight for 2 nights at Giant's, before starting the build for Woodstock 94. It was a Great Year for Rock and Roll!
I listened to this song every time I shot up, I’ve been sober since February 9th 2017.,
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.
That "Crazy thing spinning" is a light house beacon for "the ship on the horizon".
I may be wrong but that looks like a "Leslie" which was essentially a spinning speaker producing a Doppler like effect. Many progressive bands used these in the 70s. I saw many of them.
Yes. The Leslie speaker, pretty much always paired with a Hammond B3 organ. The Leslie speaker is a combined amplifier and loudspeaker that projects the signal from an electric or electronic instrument and modifies the sound by rotating a baffle chamber in front of the loudspeakers. A similar effect is provided by a rotating system of horns in front of the treble driver. But, I don’t think the 3 rotating lights on stage during the chorus of the song are speakers projecting sound. To me they’re just lighting effects rotating to the rhythm of the piece. However, I admit that the very first time I watched this DVD and saw the rotating “beacon” lights, I immediately thought of the Leslie speakers I’d seen back in the late ‘60’s used by bands that would play in my hometown armory in Oregon…The Rascals, The Wailers, Paul Revere and the Raiders (I think), and many others.
@@knvbcoach I saw ELP at Assembly Hall, Champaign, IL in ~1973. Keith had one for his B3. They played side 1 of “Tarkus” for the encore. Saw “The Rascals” play in a parking lot Battle of the Bands. They won.
I saw them in '94' at the Oakland Coliseum in Cal. Goose bumps for 2 hours. They had that 8' disco ball come out and shot it with lasers. The entire stadium was a "Moving Liquid plasma" of Lasers. Shedmen56
I actually feel sorry for people that don’t get moved by that solo..I get emotional ever time I hear it..Especially that particular one
There is a moment in the 2nd solo where David Guilmore in silloette that wo6 make an excellent poster
Every time this performance gets me right in the feels! Every friggin time! There ain't nobody quite like Pink Floyd! Simply epic!
Best concert that I have ever been to. 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
This song destroys everyone of my senses every time I hear it! Gilmour is the Greatest guitarist Ever! I challenge anyone to make a guitar sing like he does!
One of the few perks of being an old bastard is that I got to go and see these guys twice,including this gig at Earls Court…one of the best shows I’ve been to.
Absolutely a masterpiece. Every time I hear that I cry. The most beautiful solo in music history. Amazing 🤩
I was there the night this was recorded. Also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam. Those gigs will live with me till my dying day. Very very special.
It’s really the only guitar solo of that length that I didn’t get the feeling of it being… excessive or like mastibatory. That solo is exactly what it needs to be and honestly he could’ve kept going forever and I’d have been super happy about it.
Yes and when you know the next song it makes more sense
When I was 25 yo, I saw this concert 20. Sepember 1994 in Rome Italy. When Pink Floyd performed this in the US, they traveled with 4 48' military grade mobile generators. There wasn't a stadium built with enough electrical input to run the show. That's what happens when you forget to give a budget figure to your lighting effects designer. And that sound comes from a 220,000 watt sound system. The glitter ball from "Comfortably Numb" was over 15ft in diameter, and the lasers were a new experimental design, and Pink Floyd cornered the entire world's supply at the time. For this Tour they had 3 separate stage sets - one in use, one being dismantled from the previous venue and one being set up at the next. They need 3-4 days to building on stage up 3 days for re-building. Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180ft (55 m) long and featuring a 130ft (40 m) arch. All in all there was 700 tons of gear transported on 53 articulated trucks, with a road crew of 161 and an initial investment of US$ 4 million plus US$ 25 million of running costs just to stage. They also used an Antonov military cargo plane plus 2 x cargo Boeing 747s. But it would all have been for nothing if the music wasn't also epic.
Floyd is an awesome band to see live I saw Wish You Were Here tour and the Wall mind blowing!
You are so right about the vibe masters..... so many little pieces like the chimes and the light explosion after "They'll be no more AGHHHHH" ....so cool.
Didn’t pause during epic solo, kudos.
Enjoy your muse ,maiden, pink Floyd reactions.😃
😎👍🎸🎤🥁🎶✨🎷 Imagine all Pulse concert . 😎👍✨
I was lucky enough to see this tour in 1994 @ Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. AMAZING!!!!
I was at that show as well. I was a freshman at NCSU. We had to move out of the dorms the next morning. I swear half the dorm had finished exams days before and just stayed to go to that show. There was also a solar eclipse earlier in the day.
I was at the same show, 4th row. Nothing else has come close to being best show I have seen.
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.
'You know what's crazy...?" yeah it's crazy that I got just as pumped watching you guys watch THAT as I do from watching Pink Floyd play it! That was fun!
That keyboardist is Richard Wright. He passed away in 2008. He and guitarist David Gilmour had such a rapport, they often played off of each other. Original bassist and lyricist Roger Waters might tell you that he was The Floyd, but it was always Richard Wright that was the center of their sound. One of the best examples of these two is Echoes, a 25 minute song, from a David Gilmour show Live in Gdańsk. It's here on UA-cam if you're interested. It's the final time they played Echoes before Rick passed.
Such a mesmerizing performance
A few of my friends bought scalper tickets along a freeway offramp Los Angeles mid 80s and we were randomly seated next to sound check on the floor in the back at The LA Forum. An extended solo of CN, it was a truly remarkable concert.
I'm 57, and when I was a teenager, black lights and flourescent posters were in all of our bedrooms. We'd go to the mall and find the most tripped out, bizarre posters and just paper our walls with them. Then we'd grab the beanbag chairs, throw on Pink Floyd, and just drift in the dark, staring at mutli-colored, flourescent chameleons sitting inside moebius loops, staring at fractal butterflies... 😎💝
It! Was! MAGIC!
You have no idea how CRISP and how CLEAR and how LOUD it was. Somehow felt like a warm blanket... That might have been the shrooms though. :-D
Great reaction! Now do "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse concert. Another note, keep on listening to all of Pink Floyd albums (they first came out in 1965) ... I guarantee you both will become a life long Pink Floyd fans.
Totally agree with Jim K. Now just wait for the requests for more Floyd reactions, you will be drawn in, have your minds altered, just remember, that once you are in, it´s very difficult to leave, I think we have found two Floydians who have made their way home.
@@davehagi9883 - I give you thumbs up, yep, I'm a Floydian since 1980 and have always made my way home even before going to work I listen to them to calm me and the same when I clock out from a shitty day at work....matter of fact or any reason whatsoever.
@@jimk.7663 Staple diet Jim.
They have to do SORROW!! Absolutely mind blowing!!!
@@rff2552 And of course...Keep Talking.
Hey guys...that "spinning thing" is a Doppola rotating speaker set (3 were used for the Division Bell tour). Gilmour had been using rotating speakers from various makers since 1972 in the studio.
FYI, when touring post-Waters, Floyd used two keyboards (original Richard Wright and Jon Carin), two drummers (original Nick Mason and Gary Wallis), and rhythm guitarists Phil Manzanera or Tim Rewick). Guy Pratt took over on bass when Roger Waters left.
I was at the San Diego show when I was 22 back in April of 1994 in Jack Murphy Stadium(RIP). That is exactly how Pink Floyd sounded live. Best concert I have ever been to.
Keyboardist Rick Wright. Recently passed away. Guitarist and vocals, David Gilmour. Drums, Mick Mason. 4 out of the original 5 are still alive.
David Gilmour coaxing every ounce of emotion out of the solo... that's master class lead guitar playing. I know the younger generation doesn't get into these long solos as much as us older folks, but ya gotta appreciate the creativity and skill.
SORROW from the same Pulse Concert!!!!! Wicked solo #2
In 1994 in an outdoor stadium at the end of June in Canada, I was privileged to attended Pink Floyds Pulse tour concert with 70,000 other wonderful people. I can still remember that evening like it was yesterday. Even in an outdoor stadium with that many people, the sound quality was like sitting in your living room with the headphones on. In October of the same year in the same stadium I also attended the Rolling Stones concert. I was glad to have attended both concerts because I can honestly say that the $39.00 CAD ticket price for Pink Floyds concert was a far better deal than the $65.00 CAD ticket price for the Rolling Stones. I love both bands but there is no comparison between the 2 concerts. Pink Floyd is the best show that I have ever seen in my 62 years here on this earth. I watch this full concert at least 3 times a year. I am glad to see you guys enjoying this as much as some of us older people do. Keep up with the great reactions. Say hi to John and Dolly.
I was there!!. Earls Court, London. Still addicted to watching it now on UA-cam. Still have goosebumps. What a night!
Pink Floyd has a way of putting you in a trance. This performance always make me feel like I am floating around in a liquid dream…….like your soul has left your body and you’re looking down on it in wild amazement.
Ethereal moment in time for the lucky few who were there.
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David and he gave us both a signed album. We chatted for 22 minutes while he signed others albums. 35 lucky people won tickets. It was AWESOME show.
Gilmores guitar solo always brings tears to my eyes...lol unfrickenbeleivable !
Look at the crowd. Sitting peacefully, listening intently.
Many consider this to be the great guitar solo ever performed.
have a look on UA-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
I don’t think anyone has even come closer to Pink Floyd when it comes to their concerts and how the stage is created to go hand in hand with their music
Floyd is the Master of Sound and this is one of their greatest performances. I've listened to it a thousand times and will probably listen to it another thousand times.
love the big boy on the left, so fascinated and true!
