I had the privilege of seeing pink floyd in 89 in New Jersey Meadowlands, their show is second to none, you're correct when you say this song enters your soul
Wish You Were Here" is about the detached feeling many of us float through life with. It's a commentary on how people cope with the world by withdrawing physically, mentally, or emotionally. The main inspiration was Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett and his ordeal with mental illness. Roger Waters based the song on a poem he wrote about Syd Barrett's break from reality. In a 2022 interview on the Joe Rogan Experience, he clarified that "Wish You Were Here" was "partially" about Barrett, adding, "And I do wish he was here."
I read that Gilmour and Barrett had some kind of band but tragically it allegedly has been the suffering from schizophrenia and the love to music which made them almost one person out of two.
I loved what you said about comparing them to other bands. They just can’t be compared. They transcend anything in Rocks history. They really are modern era Mozarts. Sounds crazy but they are really that genius. I saw them live four times in my life and it still wasn’t enough. Greatness has no limits
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 I can tell you that I was 22 when I saw them on this tour. I have hundreds of concerts since then under my belt and nothing ever came close. Thank you so much for your Pink Floyd reactions, you guys are great together ❤
I was 18 myself when they came to Montreal on the wish you were here tour and I too attended hundreds of concerts since but that night, nothing beats it.
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome 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 froged 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. 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 saw the Pulse concerts in several cities around Europe and yes, looking back now it was a privilege, I am enriched by the experience and the memories. I still though will always prefer the original album version of "Wish you Were Here", it gets to me every time. Enjoying your reactions, thank you.
When we try not to cry or laugh we are rarely successful! But both are Necessary to experience life fully! The feeling you don't seem to understand is your beautiful souls we can't normally feel or hear! and your two souls are very bright Indeed Blinding really!! 🤣.❤.😭
I build concerts and productions for a living, and I have been to 3 Pink Floyd tours and a Roger Waters Wall tour. They are the best of the best and the gap between them and others is so vast to make it comparing apples to oranges. There are bands who put on grand productions but fall so short of it being epic, and even those who put on an epic show, fail at making it to the multidimensional levels of perfection that Pink Floyd does. There were rumors that Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and the Grateful Dead had made a goal of producing a live show in which the show itself was the intoxicant that put people in a hallucinogenic form of bliss, with no other substances required. I don't know how true it is, but considering the level of detail that Pink Floyd put into their performances from the visual, the audio, the touch via the resonance, the emotional and spiritual connectivity, and all the other senses not often thought of, it does seem plausible that their goal was as stated, and I think most who had attended one of their concerts had a high probability of feeling for whatever reasoning they could assign it, that they were touched by the experience, unlike any other event they had been to. Or maybe it was just me, either way, I feel blessed to have been witness to the events and had experienced them to the degree I did. I don't know if there will ever be another band that will achieve this in the future, but considering the business gets more and more control over artists and what they will produce, I have my doubts. Great reaction
Having been to PF concerts (since WYWH tour), including the Wall, all the way through to Pulse tour.... I would say that PF's staging is the best, but... also having been to Rush concerts since 1980 through 2018's R40 tour: they are a very close 2nd. First in ONE way, namely, that the 3 of them could reproduce the full sound of their studio recordings... PF *almost always* had additional backing performers... But at this rarified level- they are both world class live acts. alas, no more
@@davewagner7280 I could agree that Rush R40 tour is a runner-up. I was in backline and pyro depts after a morning of downrigging for R40. Great concert. I seen RUSH in the early 80s, I wanna say it was Texas Jam, but could just be mixing memories. While not every show is a major production for either Gilmour or Waters, their solo shows have at times shows that nearly equal a PF production...so I would say they come in 2nd and RUSH just behind them.
They cleansed and imbedded your soul, may be what your trying to say. I was so lucky to see them live in concert in 1973, in Tucson Arizona. Very unforgettable !
Oh l, dear Domenica. Music is all about feelings. And music, we love, touch our souls. (Love your reactions and interactions with each other) With love from Germany 😎 🤘🏻
Pink floyd is amazing in their ability to bring you on a journy with their music. There is one joiurny I can't wait to see you take.. The song ( track?) is" Several Species of small fury animals gatherd together in a cave and grooving with a pict" off the album Uma Guma. Now you must be ready for this,.It is more of an audio story than a song. It is a fun journy that will not make you cry but if you layback and close your eyes you will be transported to a show in your head.. For me it is always muppets.I know weird but it works.
The cheering and clapping was so loud because they'd just finished performing Dark Side of the Moon, the first guitar part of this song couldn't be heard. It was only when David Gilmour's guitar started I realised what they were playing! This was followed by Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell, What a brilliant concert.😊😊
Sei o que voces querem dizer,não sei o que sera da musica sem PINK FLOYD,essa musica é especial para mim porque tive um amigo que ja não se encontra entre nós,e ele adorava essa musica,e sempre que escuto essa musica me lembro dele,e na parte que voce volta ai no video,voce nã sabe o que é instrumento ou a voz de David,é insano, é sulreal
Was thinking of you both while watching “Comfortably Numb” by David Gilmore “Live in Pompeii” (2016). I was watching you reacting to the Pulse concert version last night and thought you might appreciate his performing now in Pompeii 22 years later. Enjoy your response to Pink Floyd as I have been listening to them for 50 years.
Such a beautiful work of art , time and again I see many people use this for their wedding song or at a funeral for a loved one , I think 1 of the reasons it is so popular and hits a cord with peoples emotions is that it feel like it’s a song about reminiscing about loved ones not their any more or a past life that was simpler hoping to capture some of that feeling of happiness now gone , for me it is both sad and beautiful in equal measure and I love it , great reaction as usual 👍
Super song and again Dave Gilmour on the guitar master again the whole band is great ,Nick Mason the drummer so calm ,Rixhard Wright on keys and Guy Pratt on baae guitar wow....the lights sound production ,,,thanks guys
I agree somehow about that some form of maturity is needed to fully understand Pink Floyd, but on the other hand their music is best suited for gaining that kind of maturity while listening to it. I have been exposed to their music since I was 8 years old and Pink Floyd had a huge impact on my musical taste but also on my entire life and how I look at things. Unfortunately I never had the chance to see them live. 40 years later I am still a big fan, although I listen more to other music. But I always look for something that gives me similar emotions or stimulates my mind like Pink Floyd did. so many times. Thank you for this ❤
1975 for $400 I bought a Quad receiver and this album. The song before at the ending drop the front channels ( I WAS Piss off) then it brought back the front channels in this song. When they play this song any where in the world you will hear the crowd sing it.
I guess, remembering feeling lonely in more comforting times is what dominika meant. Sometimes i wonder if we're just thinking that because we're getting old or if the 80's, 90's and early 2000's really were just better. I guess, we're just feeling like the old folks we've "hated" as kids who said "it was better back than!!11" lol. But this song triggers that nostalgic feeling of "loneliness" in me too. But it's a peacefull, kinda soothing loneliness. And after all, this Song is about someone missing someone. So, great songwriting!.
TY! There was a time this was also on repeat in my live. It’s not anymore but it stays special. The lights and the laser are like StarWars. It set the standard for the music industry live concerts. Many new lighting techniques on stage have PF DNA. For me there’s nothing getting close to this band. That hasn’t changed for over 40 years. They were lightyears ahead musically and technically and still no band has come close. This concert is for me the platinum standard. Please react to some more, from the best concert ever. One regret in my live, not being there…. Try Sorrow or Learning to Fly…..
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 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 (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. 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 Gilmour back stage. He gave us both 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 told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. 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. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. 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. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
Hi I am really enjoying your channel I was a young man when this song came out and while I would like to think I have matured over the last 50+ years I must say I felt just like this the first time I heard it PEACE
The amazing thing about this song is that no matter what part of the world the audience sing the words. Sometimes the audio recording you can't hear it.
I completely understand your remark about needing maturity to totally appreciate Pink Floyd. I am 70 years old and back when this music was “new”, I didn’t appreciate it at all. I was into Black Sabbath, Grand Funk Railroad, Uriah Heap, etc……..now Pink Floyd and Supertramp are my top 2 favourite bands of all time. If you have never heard Supertramp, you “must” try them out. Musically, they are on par with PF. More keyboard based but equally as talented. Great reactions. Hello, from Canada🇨🇦
“Wish you were here” implies the absence of someone we miss. The central theme of this album is precisely ABSENCE, and here the missing person (Syd Barrett) is one of the founding members of the band, and childhood friend of the composer of the lyrics (Roger Waters). Syd had to leave the band due to mental illness (schizophrenia), partly caused by LSD abuse. The songs "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" and "Brain Damage" are also dedicated to him.
I think you were right on with your comment, it is sorrowful but also hopeful. As most Pink Floyd songs are. Almost every song brings out the entire range of human emotions. May I ask where you two are from? I find it amazing and beautiful how we can we can all feel feel this music so deeply. I tear up every time i hear their music, no matter how many times I hear it
It is a little quicker. Pretty sure it’s one of the few tunes on the setlist that the band played un-bound by a click track, as the visuals would have required otherwise, so tempos were more susceptible to the live energy.
This is a beautiful song. I just want to let you know that I don't mind if you heard the song before. It's not that big of an issue because its probably been a long time since you heard it anyway. Especially if you don't remember.😊❤
I definetely reccomend you checking out some of Susumu's Hirasawa's songs :) I think Guts theme is the most known ua-cam.com/video/vZa0Yh6e7dw/v-deo.html&feature=shares
Nice! I like youre going to discover Pink Ployd. since i heard them first around 45y ago, for me there are my Nr. 1, by far! Maybe you get a chance to see the Pink Floyd Movie "The wall". A special experience to bring visuals, music and a story together. Just another level! Saw them 3 times in 94/95, Mannheim, Hockenheim Ring and in the Frankfurt Festhalle. The Festhalle sucks because its simple to small. I need 3 times. 1 to realize what happens, 2. to hear, 3. to get the whole impression of the lightshow. Greets from Germany stay safe & healthy
You perfectly summed up what 3/4 of the globe have felt about this song for the last 45 years..Truly soul touching..Lovely reaction..🙏
Hello from Fremont Nebraska USA. I have been listening for 45 years and knew that PF was the absolute best band ever.
55yrs, there is no better experience than Floyd.
Keep expressing your feelings. It’s nice to see new Floyd fans who actually get it! Beautiful reaction!
When people ask me, what is the best song ever, this is the one. My only criticism is that it's too short.
I had the privilege of seeing pink floyd in 89 in New Jersey Meadowlands, their show is second to none, you're correct when you say this song enters your soul

Metal ..you mean the detached feeling I feel now...and when this was popular. I've been detached all my life, but especially now in this crazy world.
I loved what you said about comparing them to other bands. They just can’t be compared. They transcend anything in Rocks history. They really are modern era Mozarts. Sounds crazy but they are really that genius. I saw them live four times in my life and it still wasn’t enough. Greatness has no limits
How will the world look without Pink Floyd?
We will never know because this music will live on forever.

My twin brother died ten years ago on our birthday he was 39 .....this is our song ❤ and my favorite song always

David Gilmour can converse with his guitar - these dialogues are unique😁
Amelia, I have heard all the Pink Floyd discografie. This music it is in another level. For both a big hug. From the canary islands, Spain.
Hi I am really enjoying your channel I was a young man when this song came out and while I would like to think I have matured over the last 50+ years I must say I felt just like this the first time I heard it PEACE
Maestros, all of them.!!
Extraordinary...Amazing👏👏👏🥇
Any Live Pulse song is amazing.
Love your reactions and comments. 😊
The amazing thing about this song is that no matter what part of the world the audience sing the words. Sometimes the audio recording you can't hear it.
"Wish you were here with my wife."
Context is everything ;-)

Is it just me or does this version feel "faster" than the studio version?
It is a little quicker. Pretty sure it’s one of the few tunes on the setlist that the band played un-bound by a click track, as the visuals would have required otherwise, so tempos were more susceptible to the live energy.
Quicker and no long intro.
This is my song for my funeral 😊
Pink floyd and juan gabriel are the 2 concert that a wish i was there can you guys react to pink floyd on the turning away remastered 2019
Please, piease, please play (sorrow) by (pink floyd) when you get chance
Damn I just love her smile. So beautiful. And, my man, you have a beautiful beard.
💚💚💚
This is a beautiful song. I just want to let you know that I don't mind if you heard the song before. It's not that big of an issue because its probably been a long time since you heard it anyway. Especially if you don't remember.😊❤
Hi guys, try "Stay" (D.Bowie) live 1978 on dbdanger100 : Absolute Masterpiece in my opinion ! Enjoy and have fun from France !
San Tropez 1971 great song, so smooth and cool. React please...🙏
Love this reaction. While this live performance is good, if you haven't already, listen to the album version. It is much more powerful.
I remember thinking the you in this song was me.
.. "Leftman" Waters was (maybye) in love with Syd 🥺
Most of the PF lyrics are from Roger Waters the bass player you saw at Pompeii ...
🎈🎈🎈♥
can you do a reaction to shine on you crazy Diamond. Greetings from Norway. 😀
Please play..the Dixie chicks...Earle got to die
I definetely reccomend you checking out some of Susumu's Hirasawa's songs :) I think Guts theme is the most known

Saw them 3 times in 94/95, Mannheim, Hockenheim Ring and in the Frankfurt Festhalle. The Festhalle sucks because its simple to small.
I need 3 times. 1 to realize what happens, 2. to hear, 3. to get the whole impression of the lightshow.
Greets from Germany stay safe & healthy
This is a great song pity the songs of today aren't as good as the stuff from the 70-80s
