I had the privilage to watch this twice at Earls Court when this was filmed and still have the tickets . If you wish to see another perspective on this song watch Roger Waters new version he did for his recent tour( Studio version and Live ) . Not as uplifting as there is no guitar solo but fantastic organ sound and vocals taking place of guitar solo.....perfect for my funeral which I hope is avery long way off . It is not on par as floyds version but still very good
Great Reaction and I saw Pink Floyd debut " Dark Side Of The Moon", which stayed in the Billboard USA Charts for 14 successive YEARS at Earls Court, West London in 1973 with 18,000 others and the ticket cost ? £1 or $1.34, my friends:) Good Luck to you and your Mum..
Il est vrai que beaucoup de nouveaux styles sont arrivés mais on peut considérer ce titre comme un tableau qui aurait sa place dans un musée et d'autres dans un grenier. Il y a des musiciens des machinistes des eclairagistes des chanteurs. Comparez à certains types qui danse avec un micro à la main et une scène vide derrière sans âme juste une bande son. Pink floyd est entrés dans l'histoire comme Queen genesis et d'autres
The way you set this up makes you vulnerable to intel lectual prop erty (IPr) claims. Most Western IPr laws allow citation/quotation (of a piece of the art work) in a context of scientific analysis or journalistic review. For musicians this is a loophole that they may police. And this is why other review channels repeatedly pause the video as well as talk through it. That way, it becomes impossible to use their review as a way to extract the music piece in its original form. And that way they can claim the journalistic exception.
Some bands add spark to their music in live concerts over their preceding studio recorded versions. The excitement of performance for a big crowd can have that effect to the musicians. Also, live versions often have larger amounts of musicians with added background vocalists or wind instruments. In this PF case, the reverse happened, IMO. This band is exceptional in studio and in most cases the studio version is better. The opposite, take any song from the Rolling Stones and you will be able to find a live version that is better than the studio one. To me, fan since before the vinyl "Ummagumma" album release, this track of PF is not necessarily the best representation of who they are, what they can do. I would also listen to ex-PF Roger Waters' "Amused to Death" (CD era), if I were you. As to mom, the question is if she is just polite and giving the socially desired response. The female brain is fundamentally different than the male one (its anatomy is on the X chromosome , so XX people have two of those and XY people only one). In that light, there might be PF tracks that a girl finds more attractive, that doesn't make them uncomfortably numb.
I saw Pink Floyd’s Delicate Sound of Thunder concert in 1987. I have Pulse on DVD. I’m 67 years old and have been hooked on Pink Floyd for 50 years now. Imagine, 50 years of Pink Floyd. If any music affected my life it was Pink Floyd! The music of Pink Floyd will never die. RIP Richard😇
Little brother im so glad to hear you say that. Rap is fine for whoever wants to listen to it but if you want to feel music i mean feel it my boy David Gilmore WILL make you feel it. My God ive listen to him for forty years and still get goose bumps. Thats what i love about music and thats why David Gilmore with be my Guitar Hero for life. Thank you for recognizing the best music of not just my generation but yours. Keep exploring you've got so much you'll be in awe of. Im not gonna slam anyone but bro the artist of today just need to listen like you are. Ive seen rhe Beatles, CCR ,Elvis and Lynard Skynard the week before they died in Portland Oregon ive been so blessed. Keep going brother you'll love rhe trip. Moon, Bend , Oregon
I was at that concert. It was the amazing spectacle I'd ever seen, or have seen since. Absolutely nothing has ever come close to Pulse. A great reaction from your Mum! I agree that this video should be viewed by everybody, just to show what musical talent is. I'm too old to be fond of rap - my way of relaxing does not include having people shouting incomprehensibly at me. We've lost the music. It's all gone wrong.
I'm so envious to people who experienced this show or other shows on the tour :). I don't think I will be ever be able to experience such a show in the rest of my lifetime.
It isn’t just the incomprehensible shouting but the content of the lyrics that turns me off. So much anger and disrespect; especially towards police and women.
I saw this Pulse concert at RFK Stadium in Wash DC. While not the exact show this was filmed, it was still the same show. I've always said, Pink Floyd is the best band in the entire history of music. Period!
I was 25 when Pink Floyd were just getting to be something special on the Rock scene, but I didn't really get into them until my youngest brother loaned me his copy of their most famous album - Dark Side of The Moon. Wow - then I was well and truly hooked. I am now 79, and feel just like this young man every time I watch this live version of Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour literally makes his guitar sing to one's soul. This is probably the best live Rock performance ever - and I'm referring to the entire Pulse concert!
I found Floyd summer of 74! Dark Side had been out for awhile. First time I heard DSOTM A bunch of us bought some weed and beer and went to the drive in. What a night! Full moon, sweet summer night, buzzed on the way home my sisters then boyfriend had dark Side on 8 track. Loved Floyd every since.
I've been a Pink Floyd fan for over 50 years and they are the masters of live music with David Gilmour being in the top echelon of all time time great guitar players. Great reaction.
This concert is absolutely amazing! Can you imagine being there and feeling David’s guitar solos with quadraphonic sound? It was incredible! I started listening at 12 and now at 60 I still get goosebumps when I listen to Pink Floyd. ❤❤
Luckily I was at the U.K. leg of that tour at Earls Court 1994. I originally saw them in the early 1980’s on The Wall tour then again in 1988 at Wembley Stadium on the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour.
Well I know this song since '79 - I was 20 at this time - I always feel the same emotion when listening to it ! Tears are never far, I am so much touched by this guitar solo... That PULSE live version is even better with a very long 2nd solo, David Gilmour took the time to buid it, and your emotion goes higher and higher... as he plugs his guitar directly to your soul.... And i always loved David's warm voice ! The 1st song I listened in 1972 from PF was "echoes" from Meddle album, I was 13.... and I was starting the Pink Floyd journey ! Dom, a 62 years old Pink floyd fan from France
They recorded P.U.L.S.E over 2 nights. I went to both. Comfortably Numb, for me, is the absolute best tune ever recorded. This particular live version is the very best. To be there when it was recorded was awesome. To be able to relive the moment again and again is just wonderful. I do relive it as often as I can. I know every note of this version in detail. I'll never get tired of this tune. I get goosebumps with every listen.

I was at Earls Court Theatre in London in '94 and I can honestly say that this concert was the best I have ever experienced in my 56 years on this Planet. I'm still getting goose bumbs every time I listen to the live Pulse version. Thanks for a great reaction.
Same, drove down from North Yorkshire with a bunch of mates. 24 at the time, still got the ticket stub and t-shirt. Great night. Earls court exhibition centre is now gone i think its a fecking shopping centre.
I feel absolutely blessed to say i was at this concert as a 21 year old with my then girlfriend. I knew nothing about the band at the time but this concert was out of this world. Im 50 now and still cant process that i was there to witness live what is now regarded as the best solo ever to exist and many would argue the greatest ever concert too. David Gilmour still mesmerizes me to this day. Nothing can being me to tears like this does.
KUDOS to your MOM. Her facial expressions At the start were "What did my son get me into?", By the time the first solo came there was a Gleam in her I and I knew that she was hooked. Then till the end, her smile said everything. Your great MOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍😎 I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan since early 70’s. I just happened upon your channel, really liked your reaction, I’ll probably check out more. I’ve always called it “mind control music” there are a few that fit in that category to me, The Doors for example can be. I saw Floyd twice, still the best I’ve ever seen, I’ve been lucky enough to have seen a bunch in classic (weren’t classic then) rock category. I could blow your mind with what I’ve seen. Maybe another time. If you have not heard Echoes, you need to. ✌️ 13:52
The Pulse version is absolutely incredible. It seemed as though David went into a different world late in the second lead. I get chills every time I see the video, even now watching this.
Well done young man, for introducing your mom to Pink Floyd. Her reaction and feelings were totally accurate. When I want to mellow out (especially these last 2 1/2 years) I put on Pink Floyd, (or Supertramp) , strap on the headphones and just relax.
Hey, thanks for turning your Mom on to Pink Floyd! It's just a shame that she couldn't have been a fan for the years she missed out on them but boy has she have a lot of fun to look forward to! Have fun Mom!
Great reaction video from your Mom. Watched a lot of videos from this guy. I really like the music and the reactions. I’m 67 and grew up on this music. Let’s support this young man for keeping rock alive. I’m a Patreon member. If you love this channel think about becoming a Patreon member. Peace.
I'm 61 and Love this Kids Energy when he hears the Great music that WE did, for the FIRST Time!!! I just found a Teen called "Silas Reacts" who just finished doing the Entire BOSTON 1st Album, song by song. He almost Breaks his Chair by getting so Excited!!! I'm a New Sub HERE too!! Rock's Future is Finally in Good Hands with SOME of Today's Youth!!!
Although your Mum is still young, I'm suprised she didn't know them. I've been a fan since they started. I'm lucky enough to have seen them live a few times, for free too!
Welcome to your mother in to the world of real music. I had the chance to see this show twice when they came to Montreal. The second evening during this song I watched the reaction of the crowd, which seemed absorbed by this extraordinary sound and visual universe. Everyone had this look, as if they had just met aliens from a distant galaxy.
Very nice reaction to a very epic song. Cool to have your mom there to react, that's special. Mom is a fine person, sweet personality and cares about her son. Comfortably Numb is a mind trip, Pink Floyd a journey.
There's no doubt the Pulse show set the bar for live performances. Gilmour extended version of Comfortably Numb is absolutely stunning. He just works that guitar like a wizard, up and down the neck with every note dancing on one's emotional pallet. A number of other great Pulse songs are High Hopes, Sorrow, and Run Like Hell. The whole show rocked, but those are standouts.
Your moms face says it all! David Gilmours guitar speaks to you. Glad your mom loved the song 😊! I bet she would love High Hopes. Yes more reactions with Mom! Always love your mother you only get one in life.
Back in the day, it was called "acid rock" because it takes you on a trip, and you dont even need to leave the farm. You're a good son to turn your mother on to Pink Floyd. PF is the pinnacle of music, that other crap is nothing more than "bubble gum" noise. Love the way you do your reactions and from an old Floydian to a new Floydian....Great job!!! Peace.
I really need to go back and watch your first reaction to Comfortably Numb. The way your face lit up when the full on light show started reminded me of the feeling I had waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 70s seeing Pink Floyd. It was nice to see that in a young person of today. My kids are mostly metal heads, as am I, but we will all stop for a bit and listen to Floyd!
I saw this tour in 1994 in Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Unreal, unbelievable, sound and visual experience. Greatest band ever. Best solo in Rock and Roll.
I just turned 70 years old. I transcend into my younger self every time I hear these songs. I was a stone rocker and spent all of my spare money on concert tickets. My hearing suffered for it but I have a lifetime of great memories.
When I first heard this song shortly after its release in the 1970’s, I cried my eyes out as I found it incredibly emotional. Best song ever written in my view. It’s a good thing that I happened to be on my own when I first heard it as it would have been embarrassing! Also, the song comes with heart wrenching lyrics like ‘the child has grown, the dream has gone’.
As I'm sure many others have said, Pink Floyd is so much more than music. It's an _experience._ They ARE their own music genre. Anything similar is merely imitation - and I've never even found "similar".
It was sooo good had to see it two different times in two different states. I've seen many of the classic rock greats in my day, too many to name, and they were great but NOTHING has ever topped Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Including previous Pink Floyd concerts I've been to. They upped their game on every tour! There isn't a band around that can compare to these guys and I don't see how anyone could possibly do any better!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… 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 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.
@@robertlongwill8856 Both of those are Classic Rock Gems. I saw Steppenwolf and Iron Butterfly together in 1968. Long versions of those songs and The Pusher Man.... In-A-Gadda-Da-Veda for 40 minutes....AWESOME
I was there at earls cort london pulse tour i will never forget the show for as long as i live the music as always was excellent the light show well just blew me away. i have covered pink floyds songs playing in bands and loved every moment 👍
This is brilliant folks! Fantastic! You should give your mum the joy of the amazing sound of Shine On You Crazy Diamond dude. What a gift for one's mother
It is great that there are still young guys that recognize Pink Floyd. Check out Sorrow from the same concert. As well Great Gig in the Sky. Echoes from Gdansk. And all the rest.
Me and all my friends were musicians, and we were all blown away with Pink Floyd. We would sit and look at each other, and say, "What was that? A giant Flugelhorn?" Floyd was the best, and I suppose always will be.

And on the seventh day God created David Gilmore and his Fender Stratocruiser. Your mother's reaction was great. She started just watching but by the end of what many of us consider to be the greatest guitar solo ever, she was so into it. It's great to see younger generations enjoy the music we grew up to, and I liked disco too. Great reaction and thank you for sharing.
Welcome to Pink Floyd . Been to nearly every UK Concert ,stood side by side with people older and younger than me for 55 years and stil listening to them, like so many people in their teens that have just discovered them👍👍👍
Your mom is very cool and allowed herself to be absorbed by the music. Pink Floyd has that calming effect that integrates the music, the vocals and the lighting effects. David Gilmour's incredible guitar work brings the whole experience together. I enjoyed your reaction! Thanks!
Your comment about PF's music transporting you to another universe is spot on. One big difference in how people listen to music now versus the 70's when I was in college, is that we listened to entire albums straight through. We didn't usually pick individual songs unless it was to make a mix-tape. PF's music demands to be heard that way. We would kick back in a chair or lie down on the couch, "burn a little rope", and then just lie back, eyes closed, and let the music transport us to other worlds, other dimensions, other states of consciousness. PF was the absolute pinnacle of that (and yes, they may be in the prog rock bucket, but they are their own thing). Of course, most of the popular music being made today does not lend itself to that, it's changed, and not for the better in general. After listening to Dark Side or WYWH straight through like that, I'd open my eyes and feel like I was coming out of meditation (that deep relaxation your mom mentions). I too, wish young folks today could experience that and appreciate this amazing music on a deeper level than just bopping around half-listening to Spotify or whatever. Kudos to you - you have discovered the riches in this music, and I hope you enjoy it for all your life! Shine On, fellow Floydian!
Lucky isn't enough to describe it. I saw this at RFK Stadium and I could feel the upper deck move during the second solo of this. The actual structure of the stadium was moving
I totally agree, the music today does not come close to the musical talent of the past. You have great taste, young man. Music is powerful. What a gift.
I never got to see Pink Floyd in concert. I hate you. lol They are my favorite band of all time and I never even got to see them live in concert. One of the only regrets I have in this life. So glad you got to experience this in person.
I was a little concerned that your Mom might not be getting it as she gave little away in her expressions but, clearly, she loved it. When Pink Floyd started out they did a gig in a school in Notting Hill, London. It was an experimental school as no ordinary school would have allowed it in 1967. When they stopped playing the kids were completely silent. Pink Floyd had put them all in a trance. It would be great if you could react to some of their earlier material, particularly their work when Syd Barret was steering the ship through psychedelic seas.
Please have her react to Great Gig from the same concert. The guitars amaze with this song, the female vocals do it in Great Gig in the Sky. Betcha she loves it!
The repetitive, deep-deep bass is hypnotizing! You Want it to keep going even after the song is over. It just builds and builds, it conditions the listener, takes you deeper and deeper into the guitar, into your thoughts. It provides a dark background to David's soaring, soul-piercing solos.
I once played this song to a girlfriend that I had. After listening to it, she turned to me and said, "You actually like that song?" That is when I slowly pulled over the car and came to a stop. I pulled the door handle and opened my door. I gently walked over to her side of the car and kindly opened her door. Then I nicely said, "Peace Out Girl!"
I played this very version to my step daughters a few weeks ago. (Summer 2024). At the end, the elder girl (20yo) just said it was one of the worst songs she had ever heard and that it was "booooooring.!" Her 16yo younger sister had the hugest of grins and tears down her face at the end. She 'stole' my Pulse CD and now plays it almost none stop.
I have loved this song ever since 1979. Pulse put it into a new category. Sad that they had lost Roger at this point and it's his genius that created it, but this particular performance is an out of body experience. I have no idea how many times I have experienced it since 1995, but it never fails to take me along with it .
I never get tired of listining to these songs. First time I listen to Pink Floyd I felt some sort of goose bumps and they are my favourite band when I'm driving long distances..
This is my fave Floyd song and in my top two all-time favorite songs. I see you've reacted to some Led Zeppelin but not Kashmir. These two songs are basically 1a and 1b for me. If you haven't heard Kashmir, I think it's another song that would blow you away. I'd listen to the album version first, but they do have some really good live versions out there too.
58 y/o metal minded professional here, and have made a point of properly exposing my kids to what shaped and molded me....Well Done doing you part in bringing mom into the fold!! Had to Sub!!
I wish everyone could have seen it live. Like we did in Madison wisconsin july 3 1994. Never have i seen a show that could touch that show. Best concert ever, best band ever.
badass dude. i'm 66 years old. seen Floyd 5 times from the 70s. changed my life. you want to really appreciate it, start from album 1, have the lyrics, work through the progression of greatness. it's all good!
It is te Best perforomance of confortably numb. Te Best player of guitar. I heard Pin k floyd since 1979. They were wonderfull. My favourite band in all My life. Greeting from Argentina.
I had the privilege of being at this concert. O2 arena London UK. Ironic pink Floyd's home town. Never been as emotional in my life even more than my wedding day. Hairs standing up on my arms shivers goose bumps the works. Pink Floyd David gilmore are a UK sensation.
Pink Floyd was one of the most creative bands in history and their sound is unique. The talent level of the members of this band was off the charts. This is real music performed at a level that will never happen again. They combined their incredible music with spectacular theatrical and lighting effects that made it a unique experience for the audience. The people were mesmerized. They were one of the best live bands you can ever see. It was not just a concert..it was a sensory experience. This particular album (the dark side of the moon) is iconic. every song leads into the next and is one incredible experience...smoke a blunt...put on your headphones and sit back and close your eyes..it takes you to another place....lol
❤️🥰 I'm a British grandma, pink Floyd was my favourite group when I was a lot younger can remember carrying my second son an relaxed to dark side of the moon as it wasn't an easy pregnancy it helped a lot , when he was born if I played this album it would calm him and send him off to sleep , but it had to be played very high, LOL he still loves it now and he's 30yrs old play your mom the whole album from the start it tells it's own story 🥰❤️💋
Thanks "rockmusicpodcast" for the good music from Pink Floyd/Comfortably Numb- one of the best live versions ever! Thanks from Germany and I wish all the best in 2023! 🤟

Your mom looks mesmerized. Welcome to the Pink Floyd universe mom!
ONE DOESN'T MERELY LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD, ONE EXPERIENCES THEM!
Strong point
I'm so glad the younger generation are hearing this today and choosing to listen deeply to both the music and the lyrics, for me it is genius.
Still the greatest thing I've ever heard in my 54 years
Same with me man but for me best thing I hear in 20 years since I’m only 20 lol
Well, I'm 72 and I absolutely MUST agree...

I WAS THERE! Best concert I have ever saw. BTW that was the Encore
I believe The Encore (last song) was actually "run like hell."
Your so lucky
@@Rockmusicpodcast Great Reaction and I saw Pink Floyd debut " Dark Side Of The Moon", which stayed in the Billboard USA Charts for 14 successive YEARS at Earls Court, West London in 1973 with 18,000 others and the ticket cost ? £1 or $1.34, my friends:)
Good Luck to you and your Mum..
I was at Earls Court Theatre in London in '94 and I can honestly say that this concert was the best I have ever experienced in my 56 years on this Planet. I'm still getting goose bumbs every time I listen to the live Pulse version. Thanks for a great reaction.
I was there to , I went there he night after the seating had collapsed 👌❤️
I was also there. I was 19, probably a bit too early to have the best concert experience of my life but that's what it was.
I'm 75 and to this day it is the best by far concert that I ever saw!!!!!
i was there on the very last night, queued in the rain and what a show!!! my chest was reverberating man !!!
Same, drove down from North Yorkshire with a bunch of mates. 24 at the time, still got the ticket stub and t-shirt. Great night. Earls court exhibition centre is now gone i think its a fecking shopping centre.
I feel absolutely blessed to say i was at this concert as a 21 year old with my then girlfriend. I knew nothing about the band at the time but this concert was out of this world. Im 50 now and still cant process that i was there to witness live what is now regarded as the best solo ever to exist and many would argue the greatest ever concert too. David Gilmour still mesmerizes me to this day. Nothing can being me to tears like this does.
KUDOS to your MOM. Her facial expressions At the start were "What did my son get me into?", By the time the first solo came there was a Gleam in her I and I knew that she was hooked. Then till the end, her smile said everything. Your great MOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your comment.Yah she truly loves the song it was her favorite
👍😎 I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan since early 70’s. I just happened upon your channel, really liked your reaction, I’ll probably check out more. I’ve always called it “mind control music” there are a few that fit in that category to me, The Doors for example can be. I saw Floyd twice, still the best I’ve ever seen, I’ve been lucky enough to have seen a bunch in classic (weren’t classic then) rock category. I could blow your mind with what I’ve seen. Maybe another time. If you have not heard Echoes, you need to. ✌️ 13:52
Great reaction, mom ... Pink Floyd is, in a word, an experience!
Constantly recognized as the greatest solo of all time. You NEVER tire of listening and watching. Makes you proud to be English.
It makes you proud to be human
Quite simply the greatest guitar solo EVER! One critique...too short! 😎
The Pulse version is absolutely incredible. It seemed as though David went into a different world late in the second lead. I get chills every time I see the video, even now watching this.
Seen This 3 Times live and still can't get enough of it...I lived this and am so sorry for those who missed this in real life...
Well done young man, for introducing your mom to Pink Floyd. Her reaction and feelings were totally accurate. When I want to mellow out (especially these last 2 1/2 years) I put on Pink Floyd, (or Supertramp) , strap on the headphones and just relax.
even in the quietest moments? Great album - very Floyd-ish!
Hey, thanks for turning your Mom on to Pink Floyd! It's just a shame that she couldn't have been a fan for the years she missed out on them but boy has she have a lot of fun to look forward to! Have fun Mom!
Great reaction video from your Mom. Watched a lot of videos from this guy. I really like the music and the reactions. I’m 67 and grew up on this music. Let’s support this young man for keeping rock alive. I’m a Patreon member. If you love this channel think about becoming a Patreon member. Peace.
I'm 61 and Love this Kids Energy when he hears the Great music that WE did, for the FIRST Time!!! I just found a Teen called "Silas Reacts" who just finished doing the Entire BOSTON 1st Album, song by song. He almost Breaks his Chair by getting so Excited!!! I'm a New Sub HERE too!! Rock's Future is Finally in Good Hands with SOME of Today's Youth!!!
Although your Mum is still young, I'm suprised she didn't know them. I've been a fan since they started. I'm lucky enough to have seen them live a few times, for free too!
Welcome to your mother in to the world of real music.
I had the chance to see this show twice when they came to Montreal.
The second evening during this song I watched the reaction of the crowd, which seemed absorbed by this extraordinary sound and visual universe.
Everyone had this look, as if they had just met aliens from a distant galaxy.
Nice a mom and son sharing the love of music especially one of best bands of all time..
Very nice reaction to a very epic song. Cool to have your mom there to react, that's special. Mom is a fine person, sweet personality and cares about her son. Comfortably Numb is a mind trip, Pink Floyd a journey.
There's no doubt the Pulse show set the bar for live performances. Gilmour extended version of Comfortably Numb is absolutely stunning. He just works that guitar like a wizard, up and down the neck with every note dancing on one's emotional pallet. A number of other great Pulse songs are High Hopes, Sorrow, and Run Like Hell. The whole show rocked, but those are standouts.
Your moms face says it all! David Gilmours guitar speaks to you. Glad your mom loved the song 😊! I bet she would love High Hopes. Yes more reactions with Mom! Always love your mother you only get one in life.
Nothing touches what Pink Floyd do. That performance is out of this world. How can he do that with a guitar? It makes me cry
Back in the day, it was called "acid rock" because it takes you on a trip, and you dont even need to leave the farm. You're a good son to turn your mother on to Pink Floyd. PF is the pinnacle of music, that other crap is nothing more than "bubble gum" noise. Love the way you do your reactions and from an old Floydian to a new Floydian....Great job!!! Peace.
I really need to go back and watch your first reaction to Comfortably Numb. The way your face lit up when the full on light show started reminded me of the feeling I had waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 70s seeing Pink Floyd. It was nice to see that in a young person of today. My kids are mostly metal heads, as am I, but we will all stop for a bit and listen to Floyd!
I saw this tour in 1994 in Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Unreal, unbelievable, sound and visual experience. Greatest band ever. Best solo in Rock and Roll.
I just turned 70 years old. I transcend into my younger self every time I hear these songs. I was a stone rocker and spent all of my spare money on concert tickets. My hearing suffered for it but I have a lifetime of great memories.
When I first heard this song shortly after its release in the 1970’s, I cried my eyes out as I found it incredibly emotional. Best song ever written in my view. It’s a good thing that I happened to be on my own when I first heard it as it would have been embarrassing! Also, the song comes with heart wrenching lyrics like ‘the child has grown, the dream has gone’.
Well the 70s? Yes but just barely... The wall was released Nov 30th 1979.
Thanks for not pausing the greatest concert performance ever. Pink Floyd will live on forever.
As I'm sure many others have said, Pink Floyd is so much more than music. It's an _experience._ They ARE their own music genre. Anything similar is merely imitation - and I've never even found "similar".
It was sooo good had to see it two different times in two different states. I've seen many of the classic rock greats in my day, too many to name, and they were great but NOTHING has ever topped Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Including previous Pink Floyd concerts I've been to. They upped their game on every tour! There isn't a band around that can compare to these guys and I don't see how anyone could possibly do any better!
You have got to show your mom more from Pulse - One of These Days , Run Like Hell , Learning to Fly , Sorrow , Coming Back to Life and many more .
I totally agree with you my man.
This is nothing short of magic.
Greetz from the Netherlands!
Thanks I appreciate it it really is magic
MY GENERATIONS MUSIC! So lucky was I to experience this type of music, day in, day out! I believe Mom was digging it as well! GREAT reaction!
I was born in 1994 and my favorite band is Pink Floyd!!! Great reaction!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… 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 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.
Thanks so much for all this interesting information. Have a safe and happy 2023!!!! 🍾💫
I saw the 3 shows in Montréal, Thé Best show ever Pink Floyd is #1 in all aspect ! and Will be for eternity !
Oh now you're introducing her to an entirely different band Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf or Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf as well
@@robertlongwill8856 Both of those are Classic Rock Gems. I saw Steppenwolf and Iron Butterfly together in 1968. Long versions of those songs and The Pusher Man.... In-A-Gadda-Da-Veda for 40 minutes....AWESOME
@@AliasMark69 oh I'm so jealous two great songs by two great bands
I was there at earls cort london pulse tour i will never forget the show for as long as i live the music as always was excellent the light show well just blew me away. i have covered pink floyds songs playing in bands and loved every moment 👍
This is brilliant folks! Fantastic! You should give your mum the joy of the amazing sound of Shine On You Crazy Diamond dude. What a gift for one's mother
What a Brilliant Review.
Well done.
Great to see Your Mum.
Excellent.
Keep Rockin'🎸🎸

It is great that there are still young guys that recognize Pink Floyd. Check out Sorrow from the same concert. As well Great Gig in the Sky. Echoes from Gdansk. And all the rest.
Me and all my friends were musicians, and we were all blown away with Pink Floyd. We would sit and look at each other, and say, "What was that? A giant Flugelhorn?" Floyd was the best, and I suppose always will be.
Definitely want to see more mom!
Any recommendations for what me and my mom should hear next
@@Rockmusicpodcast
Echoes live in Pompeii (1972)
Studio version of Comfortably numb
Studio version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
1980 live version of Mother
Dude you give me hope for the future ,great vid
And on the seventh day God created David Gilmore and his Fender Stratocruiser. Your mother's reaction was great. She started just watching but by the end of what many of us consider to be the greatest guitar solo ever, she was so into it. It's great to see younger generations enjoy the music we grew up to, and I liked disco too. Great reaction and thank you for sharing.
Welcome to Pink Floyd .
Been to nearly every UK Concert ,stood side by side with people older and younger than me for 55 years and stil listening to them, like so many people in their teens that have just discovered them👍👍👍
Your mom is very cool and allowed herself to be absorbed by the music. Pink Floyd has that calming effect that integrates the music, the vocals and the lighting effects. David Gilmour's incredible guitar work brings the whole experience together. I enjoyed your reaction! Thanks!
It's a beautiful thing to see a Son and his Mother enjoying such an amazing song.
One of the greatest guitar solos of all time. 🐐
Your comment about PF's music transporting you to another universe is spot on. One big difference in how people listen to music now versus the 70's when I was in college, is that we listened to entire albums straight through. We didn't usually pick individual songs unless it was to make a mix-tape. PF's music demands to be heard that way. We would kick back in a chair or lie down on the couch, "burn a little rope", and then just lie back, eyes closed, and let the music transport us to other worlds, other dimensions, other states of consciousness. PF was the absolute pinnacle of that (and yes, they may be in the prog rock bucket, but they are their own thing). Of course, most of the popular music being made today does not lend itself to that, it's changed, and not for the better in general. After listening to Dark Side or WYWH straight through like that, I'd open my eyes and feel like I was coming out of meditation (that deep relaxation your mom mentions). I too, wish young folks today could experience that and appreciate this amazing music on a deeper level than just bopping around half-listening to Spotify or whatever. Kudos to you - you have discovered the riches in this music, and I hope you enjoy it for all your life! Shine On, fellow Floydian!
Spreading the joy, nice 👍🏻
Thanks man and you have too
Pink Floyd are the GOAT.
I often wonder if everyone at that Pulse concert realises how lucky they were to be there hearing that live.
I know how lucky i was, and i say that til today.
Lucky isn't enough to describe it. I saw this at RFK Stadium and I could feel the upper deck move during the second solo of this. The actual structure of the stadium was moving
I totally agree, the music today does not come close to the musical talent of the past. You have great taste, young man. Music is powerful. What a gift.
That was one of the greatest concerts I ever witnessed. I was lucky enough to be on the 10th row center. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
I never got to see Pink Floyd in concert. I hate you. lol
They are my favorite band of all time and I never even got to see them live in concert. One of the only regrets I have in this life. So glad you got to experience this in person.
yup seen this concert twice in Toronto in 94
also look in my videos i'm bet i have the show you were at
@@funkydung. yes you do. pretty cool.
Your Mom's great, keep her coming on.
Your Mum would Love, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"(Album Version) ! Keep up the Good Work !
Ok I will check that out thanks for watching
I love your love of real music and I share your view of rap as not music. I'm 67 yrs old and I still get goosebumps listening to this. Rock on bro.
I was a little concerned that your Mom might not be getting it as she gave little away in her expressions but, clearly, she loved it. When Pink Floyd started out they did a gig in a school in Notting Hill, London. It was an experimental school as no ordinary school would have allowed it in 1967. When they stopped playing the kids were completely silent. Pink Floyd had put them all in a trance. It would be great if you could react to some of their earlier material, particularly their work when Syd Barret was steering the ship through psychedelic seas.
Incredible man and no she loves it man
Id like to see him hear fearless or pigs
Great Reaction Mom & Son .... Pink Floyd your right it needs it's own catagory . Your Mom was awesome .....
Please have her react to Great Gig from the same concert. The guitars amaze with this song, the female vocals do it in Great Gig in the Sky. Betcha she loves it!
The repetitive, deep-deep bass is hypnotizing! You Want it to keep going even after the song is over. It just builds and builds, it conditions the listener, takes you deeper and deeper into the guitar, into your thoughts. It provides a dark background to David's soaring, soul-piercing solos.
I once played this song to a girlfriend that I had. After listening to it, she turned to me and said, "You actually like that song?" That is when I slowly pulled over the car and came to a stop. I pulled the door handle and opened my door. I gently walked over to her side of the car and kindly opened her door. Then I nicely said, "Peace Out Girl!"
I played this very version to my step daughters a few weeks ago. (Summer 2024). At the end, the elder girl (20yo) just said it was one of the worst songs she had ever heard and that it was "booooooring.!" Her 16yo younger sister had the hugest of grins and tears down her face at the end. She 'stole' my Pulse CD and now plays it almost none stop.
Love your mom. She gets to see one of the best songs of a life time
I have loved this song ever since 1979. Pulse put it into a new category. Sad that they had lost Roger at this point and it's his genius that created it, but this particular performance is an out of body experience. I have no idea how many times I have experienced it since 1995, but it never fails to take me along with it .
I never get tired of listining to these songs. First time I listen to Pink Floyd I felt some sort of goose bumps and they are my favourite band when I'm driving long distances..
next one with your mom --> Shine on you crazy diamond or Coming back to life ( Pulse concert 1994 ) 😎👍🎸🎶
Ok will do thanks for watching
@@Rockmusicpodcast good holydays and happy new year to you and your family 🎄😎👍✨🙋♂
Been listing to Floyd for 55 years so glad the younger generation appreciate and hear it
Lol,you have a down to earth mom✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻I loved her reaction,absolutely priceless for real💯❣️
This is my fave Floyd song and in my top two all-time favorite songs. I see you've reacted to some Led Zeppelin but not Kashmir. These two songs are basically 1a and 1b for me. If you haven't heard Kashmir, I think it's another song that would blow you away. I'd listen to the album version first, but they do have some really good live versions out there too.
Kashmir is trippy trippy for getting the lead out!
58 y/o metal minded professional here, and have made a point of properly exposing my kids to what shaped and molded me....Well Done doing you part in bringing mom into the fold!! Had to Sub!!
She sounds like she needs more
She does she was shocked at how incredible it was.Almost like me when I first heard it
I was at this at Earl’s Court London 1994.
Still blows my mind every time I watch this gig.
Best gig I was ever at.
Awesome!
I feel about rap the same way it’s garbage. This is real music
Totally agree Kelly
Rap is short for Crap
@@andreshernandez1180 crapshit 💩 !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish everyone could have seen it live. Like we did in Madison wisconsin july 3 1994. Never have i seen a show that could touch that show. Best concert ever, best band ever.
A fan since 73. Keep on checking them all out. None better.
badass dude. i'm 66 years old. seen Floyd 5 times from the 70s. changed my life. you want to really appreciate it, start from album 1, have the lyrics, work through the progression of greatness. it's all good!
The best product this little Island gifted to the world was music 🎶 and I was blessed to have grown up hearing it on a daily basis... Rock on 🤘
Thank you young man.. I'm 59 now... remember it well. Pass it along or it dies well done..long live rock.
It is te Best perforomance of confortably numb. Te Best player of guitar. I heard Pin k floyd since 1979. They were wonderfull. My favourite band in all My life. Greeting from Argentina.
I had the privilege of being at this concert. O2 arena London UK. Ironic pink Floyd's home town. Never been as emotional in my life even more than my wedding day. Hairs standing up on my arms shivers goose bumps the works. Pink Floyd David gilmore are a UK sensation.
coming from 68, it is good to see two different generations enjoy the music I grew up on.
Pink Floyd was one of the most creative bands in history and their sound is unique. The talent level of the members of this band was off the charts. This is real music performed at a level that will never happen again. They combined their incredible music with spectacular theatrical and lighting effects that made it a unique experience for the audience. The people were mesmerized. They were one of the best live bands you can ever see. It was not just a concert..it was a sensory experience. This particular album (the dark side of the moon) is iconic. every song leads into the next and is one incredible experience...smoke a blunt...put on your headphones and sit back and close your eyes..it takes you to another place....lol
❤️🥰 I'm a British grandma, pink Floyd was my favourite group when I was a lot younger can remember carrying my second son an relaxed to dark side of the moon as it wasn't an easy pregnancy it helped a lot , when he was born if I played this album it would calm him and send him off to sleep , but it had to be played very high, LOL he still loves it now and he's 30yrs old play your mom the whole album from the start it tells it's own story 🥰❤️💋
son my generation here..........60 yrs old and best solo ever period......and go riding in my truck and zone out..thanx man..good job...momma rocks
I went to this concert in Pasadena California and it was the most beautiful amazing thing I have ever witnessed, it was heaven on earth.
I am SOOOOOOOOO glad what you said. Thank you for getting it.
Thanks "rockmusicpodcast" for the good music from Pink Floyd/Comfortably Numb- one of the best live versions ever! Thanks from Germany and I wish all the best in 2023! 🤟
Great reactions to my favorite song of all time! Thanks!!!
