    This was the final track on the "Division Bell" - their actual last full studio album. It both chronicles their journey from inception to stardom and closure, and a final heartfelt tribute to long gone co-founder Syd Barrett (RIP) - there are multiple homages to him throughout the back-screen video - most notably the giant bas-relief. A perfect ending to 25 years of unparalleled excellence. FYI, your comment about the 'real' bell (the "Division Bell" is rung in Britain whenever a parliamentary procedure is begun or ended) - the reason that they include so many talented guest performers is to recreate their overdubbed studio sound as completely as possible without recordings. In this case, the additional percussionist backing Nick Mason is Gary Wallis, Also backing other band members are Jon Carin on keyboards behind Richard Wright (RIP) and Tim Renwick supporting David Gilmour. Bass is covered in amazing fashion by Guy Pratt. The Backup vocalists are Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontaine (RIP). The incomparable Dick Parry on Sax completes the crew. IMO, the most incredible concert tour ever, both musically and visually.

    This beautiful and melancholy song always reminds me that the particular magic of youth can only be lived for short time. It’s this feeling of something forever just beyond your grasp - you can remember the feeling, you can recall some vague memory of how you felt, but you also know that you can never actually experience that exact magic again. You can make memories, accrue both achievements and losses, and you can experience different types of spiritual or life affirming magic as a mature adult, but no amount of riches or wishes can restore that special brand of magic you experienced as a child, adolescent, and young adult having incredible first time experiences before settling into maturity and responsibility. That beautiful outro guitar solo lets David wail for all of us who mourn that loss of innocence and youth. IMO, the best Floyd track after Roger left.

  • @njg247
    @njg247 17 днів тому

    That guitar at the end is like the soul crying. It's just absolutely heartbreaking and I know what you mean when you talk about mourning your youth and how painful it is to do so. Man, that is so, so true. I think I live in my youth so much and this song never fails to make me cry.

    Questa canzone scritta da Gilmour e sua moglie Polly che aveva sposata da poco é l'ultima traccia dell'album THE DIVISION BELL (1994)è una delle più autobiografiche della band perché ripercorre la loro storia musicale e personale guardando con un certo rimpianto e nostalgia le epoche che ne hanno segnato la storia.
    Dagli inizi alla prima frattura con la triste vicenda di Syd Barrett e poi i maggiori successi e quando tutto era meraviglioso e fantastico ecco l'imprevedibile abbandono burrascoso di un'anima importante della band come Roger Waters...ma poi termina con il suono della lap steel guitar magistralmente suonata da Dave che sembra lanciare nel cielo le grandi attese e grandi speranze di riconciliazione e pace interiore.

    What Pink Floyd does with its music is much more than simply providing a rhythm for a series of words chosen only to rhyme.

    Love and warm regards from Cologne Germany. I saw the concert 1994 in Rome Italy. Here any facts to the Tour: The concerts of the "DIVISION BELL TOUR" PULSE featured even more special effects ( On the day of the concerts, the airspace above the respective city was closed for several hours for safety reasons due to the laser show !!! ) than the previous tour of even other bands and artist tours ever and it was in 1994, including two custom designed airships. They also used an Antonov military cargo plane plus 2 x cargo Boeing 747s. 3 seperate stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each of that stages 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130 foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. One stage 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.When Pink Floyd performed this in the US, they traveled with four 48' military grade mobile generators. 1994 there wasn't in USA a stadium built with enough electrical input to run the Pink Floyd show. That was also new for the American´s. The US Army said: "Ok, that´s cool project and makeable for us - let´s do it for the american audience - But we are always there! Is that understood and clear!?" - Answer Gilmour: "Yes Sir it is clear, thanks a lot, then let´s go. You will not regret it". I think they don´t regret it. That's what happens when you forget to give a budget figure to your lighting effects designer. That sound comes from a 220,000 watt sound system. The glitter ball from "Comfortably Numb" was over 15ft (4,6 m) in diameter, and the lasers were a new experimental design, and Pink Floyd cornered the entire world's supply at the time. 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 more then 45,000. In summary, it is the most elaborate live tour project of all times to date. The planning alone took 3 years. The tour (not the planning) was sponsored by Volkswagen. In an interview after the tour with Sam Brown (the blonde backup singer), they asked her: "How wild the band were on tour?", she said: "It was like touring with a group of forensic accountants, all very serious and just focused on giving their professional best to the music".

    I interpret this as looking back at the place we were, but chased "dreams" of the green grass on the other side, only to chase the green grass on yet another side... again and again. At the end of it all, realizing that life WAS truly greener on the OTHER side. But we had made it impossible to go back (bridge's glowing behind us).

    Now, to really make things interesting, Nightwish did a wonderful cover of this song with Marko on vocals, on their End of an Era concert. It's a brilliant version, which even David Gilmour admired. It's the same song, but beautifully Nightwished .... taking British nostalgia and upgrading it to Finnish anguish and regret. You really MUST check it out.

    Two other versions of High Hopes worth a listen:
    From "Live at Pompeii 2016". David adds a much longer acoustic guitar solo to the end of the song. ua-cam.com/video/xPkTq-_C-3c/v-deo.html
    From "Live at Robert Wyatt's Meltdown". David replaces the electric bass guitar with a stand up bass and adds a cello to compliment his guitar. ua-cam.com/video/lgE-FNhHy54/v-deo.html

    Great reaction! I can't help but get misty eyed with this track - it was my mom's favourite (besides Shine On), and since her passing in 2018, it hits different! Especially when Dave hits the lap steel guitar - so powerful & emotional.
    Pink Floyd, more than many other bands, tends to tap into my soul with their music.

    Wow. I had an urge to start clapping after the song finished. :) They made a movie called The Wall. People often react just to the songs from it, which is kind of lame, because the movie and the songs tell a story. The movie is a must watch - it has Pink Floyd music and imagery combining both animation and normal footage. When I first watched it in my teens, I was left literally speechless.

    Hi, thanks for another Floydicus Pinkus reaction. Your responses are not out of line, many, many people find PF’s lyrics can set you back in your seat (as they appeared to do to you.) Pink Floyd doesn’t write love songs; they write albums. And they write about life, death, mental health (they write a LOT about that), loneliness, despair……they aren’t like any other band.
    One of the ways they’re different is, as you say, they’re patient with their music. Another way they’re different is more subtle. PF as a band has never been about individual fame; it’s always been entirely about the music. You can see this in something as simple as the stage lighting. None of the band members are typically lit from the front, which most major bands, and stage performers in general, are. The Floyd is often lit from the side, or even from the rear. It’s why David Gilmour shows up in a t-shirt and jeans; they’ve just never been into personal fame.
