"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" must be one of the best lyrics in a song without any lyrics. Also, Pink Floyd is not ahead of their time... They exist outside of time, timeless, immortal
The show that I went to in 1994 in Columbus Ohio this is the song that ended the first half of the show. When the first explosion took place and the pigs came out. A guy behind us stood up and yelled "the F'ing pigs are going to kill us", and the ran out of the stadium! My uncle looked at me and told me never to take drugs!
I was at that show in Columbus and you are correct. I was thinking of the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour when the opened the 2nd set with One of These Days.
I didn't go, but I remember well when that concert occurred - at the time I was a senior in college at Toledo and two of my [younger] friends went (I, an engineering student, was "too busy"). It was described as "legendary". Ah, regrets!
Dont forget Syd Barret! The legend of "Echoes" and so much more. But yes. That man, in the keys and special imaginative instruments and sounds...MAGIC!
On the original studio recording it's a bit more buried in the mix, and if you don't know it's there you might not even notice it in the flow of electronic noise. I've known this song since I was around ten years old, and bought the Meddle album when I was fourteen, but it wasn't until several years later that I consciously noticed that there was a lyric there - before that I had just thought of that bit as "treated vocal grunts" without any words to them.
@@louise_rose They also brought the 'Dr Who' theme more to the front. The lyric was directed at Jimmy Young a Radio 2 DJ who said that Pink Floyd was just noise. (Radio 2 was station that played easy listening).
@@garyanning9731 Mmm. :) This track could well be called "proto-industrial rock". - Even though I didn't notice the lyrics until after I had turned twenty, ,I think the sense of anger and frustration in the middle section of the track is something I registered early on.
Fun fact: Nick Mason fondly remembers when he played this song back in Pompeii, the film director had lost a lot of the footage of the other players, so what we get to see most was his drumming
Flawless performance. This was the closer for the first half. After break they play Dark Side in its entirety. Props to Guy on the bass! And of course David on slide. What a show!
The alternate set list had Astronomy Domine start the show with just 4 players on stage, none of the touring musicians (aside from Guy Pratt) played on that one.
The band were big fans of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's electronic music and sound effects output at the BBC that began in the late-1950s, early-60s. The Workshop were group of electronic engineers and mathematicians at the BBC that used old electronic machines, scientific reading equipment and anything to hand to create special sounds. They're most famous for the 'Doctor Who' theme, composed by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire back in 1963. Pink Floyd have said that the Dr Who theme really made an impression and influence on them in their early years that they incorporated a small section of the theme into One of These Days to pay homage to the theme, Delia and the Workshop and can be heard at the 3:35 mark.
I was there in 1994 at Earls Court where I believe from memory that Pink Floyd performed perhaps 8 Consecutive Gigs and totally sure that every night was Sold Out. Not only was the Band, light show, Standard of Musicianship and outstanding compositions if ALL these Songs, but the PA was like a TOP CLASS HI-FI System AND in Quadraphonic, so there were Speaker at the Back of the Hall and each Side of Hall as well as sound coming from the front of you. The expectation we all had; the excitement we all had was like a bomb going off; there was no stopping this euphoria!! The Show we saw left us all exhausted with pure happiness and I'm sure this was the case every night. David's emotional Voice, Guitar Playing, Pedal Steel Guitar and Smile, just so infectious, but took ALL performer's to create such a wonderfully outstanding and never to be repeated Concert!!!!!asers
At the Montreal concert, this song was the 9th played, right between "Keep Talking" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)". You're absolutely right about the audience remaining seated and focused during the songs, but loudly expressing their appreciation at the end of each song. I saw this concert two nights in a row at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and I certainly don't regret it, it's the best show I've seen in my entire life.
This was the opening song for Pink Floyd at the 1972 Second British Rock Gathering, in Germersheim, Germany! And ever since, it is my favorite PF song! I don't drink coffee, so to get going in the morning I put this on and turn my amp up to 11! 😊 Glad you liked it....🎵
I feel so privileged to have seen them live in person in Madison, WI, and especially to hear them play the Doctor Who for me. I mean us. And in the rain!! But we didn't care. Incredible musicians.
The intro for the concert is called "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "One Of These Days" wraps up the first half of the night; then, "Speak To Me/Breathe" opens the second half and "Run Like Hell" is the grand finale. Indeed, "One Of These Days" is the first song of their album Meddle, tho. Considering you fangirling to David's glances and faces, I highly recommend also checking out "Remember That Night", "Meltdown Concert", "Live in Gdansk", "Live at Pompeii" and "Live in Wroclaw". All of those are concerts from his solo career.
Great reaction Stacey!! Nope - that's intermission! Set 2 was the live performance of the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album. What a way to end set 1! The concert opening track was Shine On You Crazy Diamond! My jaw was on the floor seeing this song's performance for the first time! They really ramped up the sonic bombardment over the studio version! Special note to Dave on this - yes, I love his 'knowing' smile during this performance - he's probably thinking 'oh boy, just you wait, we're going to go CRAZY!!' (in the most British way possible). And yes - that bassline is beyond fire! Cheers!!
"One of These Days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces)" is from the Meddle Album over 50 years ago. When I first heard this song in my teenage years, this song sparked my imagination of an ongoing and bitter battle between an evil wizard and a vengeful barbarian who lost his woman to the evil wizard, where the battles always ended up in a stalemate between the two and they would retreat to heal and regain their strength, and battle again on another day. The bass at the beginning of the song is the barbarian mounted on his horse, with his wolf companion running by his side through the dust and wind (Richard's keyboards) of the plains, to get to the dark castle to face down the wizard who is inside. Meanwhile, the wizard is busy raising up an army of skeleton warriors with his necromancer spells (which is the sound of the Daves guitar, and Nick's drums) to defend himself and to defeat the barbarian. As the gate of the castle is breached, the barbarian shouts out, "ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!" and then the battle ensues between the barbarian and his wolf versus the wizard's skeletons. The wizard stays back behind the skeletons, weakened by the amount of magic he used to put up his defense against the barbarian. The barbarian sees his woman imprisoned (but ALIVE!) behind the wizard, and becomes excited, but also enraged that she has suffered for a long period of time. At this point, Dave's guitar, Richard's keyboards, and Nick's drums kick it up several notches to denote the epic battle as the barbarian and wolf fight hard against the skeletons and peeling them off one at a time (by each rollover of Nick's drums), until Dave's very last note where he finally dispatches the wizard with the last swing of his sword. I will leave the rest of the story to your own imaginations!
The instrument David is playing is called a "peddle steel guitar". It is used a lot in country music. Of course David Gilmour plays it amazingly. And the one line of words in this song is "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces".
This was an absolute highlight when I saw them on that tour. 100,000 people screaming and pointing at the pigs in amazement. Keep it coming Stacy. You're ready for Shine on you crazy diamond. Bom bom bom bom...if you know, you know fellow Floyd fans
Nice reaction Stacey, The lyric is "one of these day's I'm going to chop you into little pieces" I saw them twice on the delectate sounds of thunder tour in 88 and they were just amazing. The drummer Nick Mason now tours with his own band A saucerful of Secrets who play old Floyd pre Dark side and this is off Meddle and I saw them last Wednesday when they finished with this. If you get a chance to see them then do as though not the full Floyd experience they are really amazing. Highlights for me were See Emily Play, Atom Hart Mother, Echoes and Set the Controls for the Hart of the Sun. They had also managed to lift Sid's vocals off a demo tape from an unreleased song from before they had a record deal in 1965 and with modem tech played Sid's vocal and they played the music.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" A song about bacon. Not really. They used to have a sound tape of a British DJ, Jimmy Young, who used to talk and talk and talk trivial nonsense. They cut up the tape into sections and used it in concerts. That was the basis of the idea behind the title. The Doctor Who theme was later incorporated into it. The bass theme was Rogers idea, but when he was out of the studio, David recorded the bass parts for the record. The Pig was first used for the Animals tour, and used to fly out over the crowd on a wire. This was repeated for the Wall shows during Run Like Hell, and One Of These Days for the Momentary Lapse tour, when it was the first song of the second set. I was there for two of those gigs (! ) and at one of them, it was right over my head, dipping towards me. Quite scary. I was also at one of Earl's Court Pulse shows. The set list varied, some nights they played all of Dark Side Of The Moon. The night I was there, One Of These Days closed the first half. I was about a third of the way back from the stage and could feel the heat from the flame jets at the end. One of my top five concerts of all time.
When I seen this concert at the Silverdome the pig fell out of its box and land on its back and the legs were moving around when this song was being played, it was something to see.
Me...1994 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse NY...seated close to the stage, but off to the left side about 12 rows high...tapping on someones shoulder..."Um, you see giant pigs with laser eyes staring at us too....right?" Only could happen at a Pink Floyd show!!! 😂😂😂😂 I was only drinking and maybe breathing some concert aroma....with the lights and incredible music....I was starting to question what I was seeing! Those pigs were scary as heck from where I was sitting, the one on my side would have been in my lap if it didn't stop!!! At it keep looking around like it was looking for the person it wanted as a snack after "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little peices!" This was the first concert I ever left feeling like I didn't pay enough for the experience...don't recall the ticket price....but, I would have paid 10 times the amount and not felt like it was enough for the incredible memories.
Me again! It's probably been mentioned already, but in case it hasn't, the bass player is Guy Pratt. It's an understatement to say this man is talented, but what you may not know is that he had a very famous father; Mike Pratt who was an actor/musician/song writer and starred in one of the best crime detective series to ever grace our tellies over here, which was Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).
When you think this is a 1971 track off meddle, so far ahead of their time. I was in this croud for this recording at earls court London 1994..... This was the end of the first half of the show
I caught it the first time I heard the song. But I wasn’t 100% sure, because I had never seen an episode. But I still thought it was rebel cool to put a somewhat obscure (in the US, at least) TV show theme within their music. 😎
Some of the time, yes. I was lucky enough to be there the first night they played Dark Side in its entirety. July 15 at the Silverdome just outside of Detroit. That was about 3 1/2 months into the tour. They probably played Dark Side 1/3 of the nights over the duration of the tour. Maybe a bit more.
I remember this track on The Old Grey Whistle Test sometime round 1973. It was the backing track to an animation of a dancing man. Totally mesmerising, it's probably on UA-cam somewhere.
I grew up in Cambridge, lived here most of my life. Syd was the science pupil of a teacher friend of mine; I'd see him walking around Cambridge from time to time.
Hi Stacey! New sub here and absolute Pink Floyd/David Gilmour fan from Idaho. You should check out David Gilmour "Live At Pompeii" from 2016. David was the first live performance at the Pompeii Amphitheater since 79 A.D.!! 22 years after "Pulse", David Gilmour puts on a performance that is simply amazing! Also, you should listen to "A Boat Lies Waiting". This is a tribute to the late Richard Wright, Pink Floyd's piano/keyboard player.
That was wild when they came out at the concert I saw, at the end they jump out and deflated on the ground. Side Note Gilmore has a new album and is going to Tour with it and I read that the Bass Player is the only former player that he is rehiring. Ya when Gilmore puckers up, he's workin' hard, lol
I think One Of These Days was the last song of the first half of the show. And yeah, the pigs are a callback to Animals - there's a giant inflatable pig on the Animals album cover (which started drifting off during the photoshoot but that's another story!) and I think they used one during the Animals tour as well.
Yeah, it's completely unrelated to Animals as a song but I think the pig was so iconic they wanted to tie it into the concert somehow. That's my guess anyhow!
Thank you Stacey for this. As a young teenager on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, circa 1979, I heard this song on the radio a few times, and fell instantly in love. It was a sound that I'd never heard before. Didn't know the name of it because, you know, wacky FM DJ's don't care about the music, just mindless gabbing. All I knew is that it was by Pink Floyd. And so, whenever I would get to the record store about 20 miles away, I would buy every Pink Floyd album they had just in the hopes of getting the one with this song on it. Finally I did, and that's how I got into the music of this band. So many great memories!
I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it and release like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice ❤
Saw 5 times , always felt sorry for the people that sat up front. Pulse first song was "Shine On". #1 Version to watch Pompeii 1972 which was a lot of drums, #2 this one and Pompeii again in 2016 which start with a instrument I have never seen. One of the shows at the end they push the pigs out of the tunnel. the pig on the Animals sleeve broke free but story goes that a pilot radio the tower he just flew by a 50 Ft. pink pigs. Dave announce his up coming tour Madison Square Garden 4 days, Hollywood Bowl 3 days, Inglewood Cali. 1 day. Stacey if you were there it's beyond anything. As many just sat in silence when it was over.
Great reaction, Stacey. We saw this show live in Philly and when this song ended (ending the first set), one of my friends commented that we needed to go to the box office and give them more money, since we had clearly underpaid for the tickets. And we still had the entire Dark Side of the Moon album (set 2) and the encores still to come. I saw them 5 times on this tour and have been to over 200 concerts. To this day, I still believe this to be one of the best concerts of all time.
I can attest to the fact (4 times actually) that during their shows when this song started the entire stadium was vibrating and thudding from the speakers, combine that with the mesmerizing light show and for those of us in a certain state of mind, it was an experience without equal, nothing else is even in the same universe. These people (as a collective) know what they are doing, and most importantly, why they are there. Pink Floyd will live forever.
This was the last song before the intermission, i was on the second row and at the end of this track it felt like we had been blown 10 feet further back from the stage - what an experience!
My close friend Gil Yedidia and I would listen and watch many concert videos together and one time his brother Ronn Yedidia flew in from New York to visit for 2 or 3 days .All 3 of us watched 3 concert videos back to back,one of them being Pulse and after all of this Ronn said he liked the Pulse concert best and said they are pulling that sound from out of space.Ronn is a concert pianist and composer and owns the New York Piano Academy and has played with many of the best Jazz musicians going way back.He did not know Pink Floyd and that was the first time he had heard them.That was the first time I had heard anyone say that and coming from him at the time was very thought provoking.
This is the track that closes the opening set., and they close the show with "Run Like Hell". Simply incredible. BTW, this was the opening song on their album "Meddle" (which closed with the epic "Echoes"), the album that prepared them for their masterpiece "Dark Side Of The Moon".
This song was recorded and released when I was in high school. We knew then that PF was on a different playing field. They did not fit into the music mold of that era and made us ask can they maintain the momentum they created or die as a flash in a pan. We know that answer. Time is the true test of success.😊
Love your reaction to PF as always. I just scored tix to David Glimour's show in NYC this November!!!! So excited. Will be my first time ever seeing/hearing him.
I saw them in 1994 and this was the setlist =================================== Set 1 Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) (and part VII, Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Learning to Fly High Hopes (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Take It Back Coming Back to Life Sorrow Keep Talking Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 One of These Days Set 2: The Dark Side of the Moon Speak to Me Breathe (In the Air) (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) On the Run (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Time (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Breathe (Reprise) (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) The Great Gig in the Sky (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Money Us and Them (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Any Colour You Like Brain Damage Eclipse Encore: Wish You Were Here Comfortably Numb (Recorded for "Pulse" live album) Run Like Hell
Guy Pratt is the bassist, an all-world session player who has toured with PF and many other A list acts over the decades. He'll be with David on the Luck and Strange tour this fall as well. At one time he was Richard Wright's son-in-law.
Thanks Stacey❤ Love your "former volleyballer" vibes! This is obviously from their earlier "experimental" works but carries a great melodic line that just F-ing ROCKS!! "Fun" is the word for the day!
I saw them in Detroit on this tour. You are correct that the audience was very quiet during the songs. I think everyone was so in awe during each song that no one made a sound. It's great they recorded this concert so we can all watch it back, but I'd equate it to watching fireworks on tv. It's not quite the same experience as seeing it in person. Carry on, Stacey, you do a great job!
What you can’t tell even from the great mix done for the video, is the sound within the stadium. They had several speaker locations from to back and sound enveloped you and would move around, especially in this song. Was so surreal and wonderful.
It was the intermission of the concert when the lights came up at the end of the song, also the lyrics are from the drummer, "One of these days, i'm going to cut you into little pieces" Saw this show 4 times, was life changing
I saw this show at the Pontiac Silverdome. My friends and I were 15th row, on the floor, stage right. When this song played I couldn't belive how intense the heat was from the flames lighting at the front of the stage. There were 80,000 people there. My friend, that I drove there with, and I got there late because the traffic was so heavy. The security was so tight in there and they checked your ticket about every 20 feet to make sure you were going where you were supposed to be. So, when we walked into the stadium, Shine On You Crazy Diamond had just started. By the time we got to our seats they just started playing the third song. To this day it is still the best, most mind blowing concert I have ever witnessed. I still occasionally wear the concert shirt I bought.
This song is the last song before the interval . Shine on you crazy Diamond ( concert version ) is the first track and Run Like Hell is the last song. The inflatable pigs heads are a reference to Pigs on the wing track from the Lp Animals as no track from that LP is in this concert
I saw Pink Floyd live at the Division Bell concert in Ames, Iowa, back in 1994. The line of cars to the stadium was never-ending, and it felt like we spent forever just trying to get close. We eventually found a spot near the venue, and by then, the party had already started. People were everywhere, smoking openly. To my surprise (and relief), the police decided to turn a blind eye (thank goodness). Inside, the stadium was decked out with massive inflatable pigs, The Wall hammers, and animated characters from the movie. Unfortunately, most of the concert is a blur for me... let’s just say there were so many joints being passed around that at some point, I forgot where I was. But wow, what an experience! The sound system was incredible-speakers perfectly placed to give this crystal-clear stereo sound, making you feel like you were literally inside the music. Now, here’s a side story: as we parked, I spotted a concert ticket lying face-up on the sidewalk. It was like fate! I had two tickets to Pink Floyd! Coming from Chile, I knew this would be my only chance to see them live since they never toured my country. So, I waited outside the stadium, holding on to that extra ticket until I found the right person to give it to. Right before the show, I saw this guy-heartbroken, in tears, walking around like he'd just lost everything. He’d dropped his ticket. I went up to him and said, “Hey man, here’s your lost ticket!” I’ll never forget the look on his face-pure joy and disbelief. We hugged, then walked into music heaven together. True story!
I was one of the emensley lucky people to be at the Earls Court in London October 1994 Pulse Concerts..!! This was the last song of Set 1.. I was sitting in the top balcony on the left hand side looking towards the stage and the Giant 🐗 Boar/Pig was level with us on the balcony and we were about 50feet away from it as came out through the darkness halfway through the song "One Of These Days" and the lights/lazers coming out of its eyes were literally coming directly at us all the time..!! Every single song for the whole 2hours 20mins of the concert (ie) Set 1, Set 2 and the 20minute Encore was an absolute visual and musical MASTERPIECE..!! The lights, lasers, explosions, pyrotechnics, special effects and videos on the 50foot circular screen behind the band in the centre of the stage for every song was just MIND-BLOWING, Their wasn't one song in the whole concert that was done to PERFECTION, all the instruments were wired up in sync with the visuals (ie) each time a note was played with each different instrument the visuals like lights and lasers, holograms, special effects would be synchronised to go hand in hand with the music...!! I was 25 when I went to see Pink Floyd at Earls Court that night and even just over 30years later the concert still sends shivers down my spine when I think back to it or watch the DVD of the concert and I love watching people like you reacting to songs from the concert watching their music and performances for the 1st time it really puts a huge smile on my face..!! And then hear people reacting to the concert and saying that they are so jealous of the people who were there in the Stadium to see 'A MUSICAL AND VISUAL MASTERPIECE'...And makes appreciate how lucky I was to have been there in the flesh to see THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME WHO WERE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF TIME AND THEIR MUSIC WILL BE REVERED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME 🫶👌🥰🙏 One Word Sums Up Pink Floyd and their music and concerts and that is simply GENIUSES..!!
Amazing, love this song...That was from the end of the first part of the concert...SO excited every time you react to Pink Floyd check out "yet another movie" from the delicate sound of thunder live tour back in 86-87...
I spent 6 hours dialing for tickets. We drove 8 hours to Houston. They played through a Texas thunderstorm with lightning hitting the skyscrapers around the stadium. Rain falling through the lasers added to the epic show. There was a possibility that acid could be found at the show… This concert and the Page/Plant tour were just a level above everyone else. As they say I’m old but got to see all the good bands.
I saw them at the Feyenoord stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Pulse tour was (is) the greatest show ever. Period. The whole experience was simply mesmerizing. I didn't even have to smoke a joint. Lol. This song was at the end of the first part of the concert. After that they play the whole Dark side of the moon. I've never seen a band play a whole record live before. They finished with Run like hell, which is what I intend to do now given this troubled world around us. I just don't know when and where to run. And I'm probably late already. "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."
The only thing I like better than watching the Pulse concert, is watching you watch the Pulse concert. If there is a band on this planet worth "Fan Girling" over, it's Pink Floyd. Floyd on!
One of these days was the last song before the band took about 20 minutes break. Second half started with Shinw on Crazy Diamond and ended the concert with Run Like Hell. This was the concert I attended at Rose Bowl on April 15th, 1994
You've hit the nail on the head Stacey with the Floyd audience the beginning cheers and whistles sitting an watch and listen then cheers again, that's what true fans do in the UK for a Floyd gig. At times people who don't know the rules stand up and are immediately told to sit down in no uncertain terms if they don't. I've been to many Floyd concerts in my 67yrs and only once a whole lot of the crowd started standing up they soon had the rest of the arena telling to effin sit down. 😂
The bass is played by Guy Pratt. He was part of the "touring band" after Roger Waters left the group. He performs with David on his solo performances after 1994.
@@65alef Yeah, he played on that tour too. Pretty much everything by the post-Waters' Pink Floyd and the non-PF tours with David & Richard without Nick.
The concert was not called Pulse. The tour wad called The Division Bell Tour after the album they were promoting at the time. Pulse is the name of the Live concert album recording this awesome concert in London in 94. I was at one of the concerts during that tour in Philadelphia, PA on the 1st night of 3 nights. Each night varied as far as the songnlist. But pretty much was very close to the list for the concert on the video. The Pig idea came about a round the Animal s album tour. There was one Pig that would fly around above the audience during specific songs. I believe, As a result of the lawsuit between Roger Waters and the rest of the band. Dave and co. couldnt use the original Pig, so they used a variant of the pig and doubled it for the tour.. Its actually a warthog. Pigs in stereo. . In the middle of the song (if your a fan of the show Dr. Who) you will hear the theme song interjected. The song is at the end of the first half of the concert. The stage lights come on and Dave informs the audience of the intermission. The words you hear are spoken by the drummer Nick Mason with his voice slowed down and modulated. He says "one of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces." First track on the Meddle album. Same album as Echoes. Echoes is the last track onnMeddle.
Saw them live in 1994. "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" was an aggressive response to an English DJ who used to belittle the band and ramble on about useless info. This song is off the 1971 album "Meddle". Check out, "Keep Talking". Dave uses a talk-box I think you'll find interesting.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" must be one of the best lyrics in a song without any lyrics.
Also, Pink Floyd is not ahead of their time... They exist outside of time, timeless, immortal
Great point.
I also believe that it's Nick Mason's ONLY vocal contribution on the entire Floyd catalogue since they started out in 1965.
They created time
Agreed...... just one line that has nothing to do with anything..... the music is incredible
He also did vocals on Scream Thy Last Scream
The show that I went to in 1994 in Columbus Ohio this is the song that ended the first half of the show. When the first explosion took place and the pigs came out. A guy behind us stood up and yelled "the F'ing pigs are going to kill us", and the ran out of the stadium! My uncle looked at me and told me never to take drugs!
I was at that show in Columbus and you are correct. I was thinking of the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour when the opened the 2nd set with One of These Days.
Yeah it caused him to miss half a legendary show. Oh, the horror...
I was there too
I was also at a Concert at this Toure... in Munich........
I didn't go, but I remember well when that concert occurred - at the time I was a senior in college at Toledo and two of my [younger] friends went (I, an engineering student, was "too busy"). It was described as "legendary". Ah, regrets!
The late great Richard Wright. RIP you absolute genius.
Dont forget Syd Barret! The legend of "Echoes" and so much more. But yes. That man, in the keys and special imaginative instruments and sounds...MAGIC!
He directed the Pulse concerts . Yes , an absolute genius .. note , the arm up to David everytime the next phase was to start . ❤
Richard was the unseen Maestro of the band, a lovely person and brilliant musician.
I am a simple man. Stacey reacts Pink Floyd, I run and watch! Thank you as always, you are wonderful...
Something truly magical about it.
I repeat, Jethro Tull, Tull, Tuuuull!🎉❤😅😊🦬❤️
Nobody ever mention Nick Mason what a drummer and so calm
''One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces'' is drummer Nick Mason’s only vocal contribution on Floyd´s classic studio albums.
On the original studio recording it's a bit more buried in the mix, and if you don't know it's there you might not even notice it in the flow of electronic noise. I've known this song since I was around ten years old, and bought the Meddle album when I was fourteen, but it wasn't until several years later that I consciously noticed that there was a lyric there - before that I had just thought of that bit as "treated vocal grunts" without any words to them.
Besides Corporal Clegg
And if you go and catch him on Tour In US, UK and Europe he'll open the show with this song.
@@louise_rose They also brought the 'Dr Who' theme more to the front. The lyric was directed at Jimmy Young a Radio 2 DJ who said that Pink Floyd was just noise. (Radio 2 was station that played easy listening).
@@garyanning9731 Mmm. :) This track could well be called "proto-industrial rock". - Even though I didn't notice the lyrics until after I had turned twenty, ,I think the sense of anger and frustration in the middle section of the track is something I registered early on.
''One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces'' that is the lyric 🤣 and ''run like hell'' is the last one
She knows as she has reacted to that already. Maybe she forgot?
Roger Waters sucks
@@alphaomega3499 yeh his politics are atrocious but he wrote some good pink floyd music.
Have you noticed that no other band has tried to replicate their style of music, because they can’t because they are awesome and one of a kind
Amen
There is no original band that can think past 3-5 min.
@@arclight545 Actually, there are many IF you look.
@JimPauley-n6b they are unique much like the DOORS
Les Claypool from Primus has a band called The Flying Frog Brigade they do a reenactment of Pigs 3 different Ones it's absolutely incredible
Fun fact: Nick Mason fondly remembers when he played this song back in Pompeii, the film director had lost a lot of the footage of the other players, so what we get to see most was his drumming
and for some reason, it turned into a brilliant piece of video. Nick was in his prime and looked great. Suggested vid.
Yes,best thing that happened,Nick Mason deserves to be centre stage.🎉
I think that’s the song where he lost a drumstick!
Also, this is the only Pink Floyd song where Nick contributes any vocals.
And never misses a beat when a stick flies out of his hand.
Outstanding! Your Pink Floyd reactions are so fun to watch. Your smile and laughter brighten my day.
Flawless performance. This was the closer for the first half. After break they play Dark Side in its entirety. Props to Guy on the bass! And of course David on slide. What a show!
Stacy I love it that you love it. A new Floyd fan. They are undescribable. And I can't imagine the world without them to enrich us all.
the 1st song of Pulse concert is Shine on you crazy diamond .. and the last song is Run Like Hell .. good day to you 😎👍
The shows I attended started with Astronomy Domine
@@paulblay2330 ok. to the Pulse concert video started with Shine on you crazy diamond .
The alternate set list had Astronomy Domine start the show with just 4 players on stage, none of the touring musicians (aside from Guy Pratt) played on that one.
@@ianfortier6796 😎👍
Did anyone else have the two cassette pulse set? If so, do you remember what was on the second cassette after the concert ends? It's so damn cool!
Pink Floyd.... either you get them or you don't! Stacey gets them.....we had so much good music in the 70's....
@@DanOConnell-t2z very fortunate to have grown up in that era of music. So many talented musicians and a world of joy and unity amongst the listeners.
The band were big fans of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's electronic music and sound effects output at the BBC that began in the late-1950s, early-60s. The Workshop were group of electronic engineers and mathematicians at the BBC that used old electronic machines, scientific reading equipment and anything to hand to create special sounds. They're most famous for the 'Doctor Who' theme, composed by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire back in 1963.
Pink Floyd have said that the Dr Who theme really made an impression and influence on them in their early years that they incorporated a small section of the theme into One of These Days to pay homage to the theme, Delia and the Workshop and can be heard at the 3:35 mark.
I mentioned this on another reaction but your explanation was much better than mine..
I wish I could hear Pink Floyd...for the first time. Been listening for decades....and still love them as much.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️.
@@metricdeep8856 they are able to trigger emotional responses that other bands don't even come near.
I was there in 1994 at Earls Court where I believe from memory that Pink Floyd performed perhaps 8 Consecutive Gigs and totally sure that every night was Sold Out.
Not only was the Band, light show, Standard of Musicianship and outstanding compositions if ALL these Songs, but the PA was like a TOP CLASS HI-FI System AND in Quadraphonic, so there were Speaker at the Back of the Hall and each Side of Hall as well as sound coming from the front of you.
The expectation we all had; the excitement we all had was like a bomb going off; there was no stopping this euphoria!!
The Show we saw left us all exhausted with pure happiness and I'm sure this was the case every night. David's emotional Voice, Guitar Playing, Pedal Steel Guitar and Smile, just so infectious, but took ALL performer's to create such a wonderfully outstanding and never to be repeated Concert!!!!!asers
At the Montreal concert, this song was the 9th played, right between "Keep Talking" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)".
You're absolutely right about the audience remaining seated and focused during the songs, but loudly expressing their appreciation at the end of each song.
I saw this concert two nights in a row at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and I certainly don't regret it, it's the best show I've seen in my entire life.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
Thank YOU for finding Pink Floyd, I had no idea that some people have never heard them before! Better late than never!👍✌️🥳
This was the opening song for Pink Floyd at the 1972 Second British Rock Gathering, in Germersheim, Germany! And ever since, it is my favorite PF song! I don't drink coffee, so to get going in the morning I put this on and turn my amp up to 11! 😊 Glad you liked it....🎵
This is an overlooked gem. My favorite Pink Floyd song.
I feel so privileged to have seen them live in person in Madison, WI, and especially to hear them play the Doctor Who for me. I mean us. And in the rain!! But we didn't care. Incredible musicians.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
The intro for the concert is called "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "One Of These Days" wraps up the first half of the night; then, "Speak To Me/Breathe" opens the second half and "Run Like Hell" is the grand finale.
Indeed, "One Of These Days" is the first song of their album Meddle, tho.
Considering you fangirling to David's glances and faces, I highly recommend also checking out "Remember That Night", "Meltdown Concert", "Live in Gdansk", "Live at Pompeii" and "Live in Wroclaw".
All of those are concerts from his solo career.
Great reaction Stacey!! Nope - that's intermission! Set 2 was the live performance of the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album. What a way to end set 1! The concert opening track was Shine On You Crazy Diamond!
My jaw was on the floor seeing this song's performance for the first time! They really ramped up the sonic bombardment over the studio version! Special note to Dave on this - yes, I love his 'knowing' smile during this performance - he's probably thinking 'oh boy, just you wait, we're going to go CRAZY!!' (in the most British way possible). And yes - that bassline is beyond fire!
Cheers!!
"One of These Days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces)" is from the Meddle Album over 50 years ago. When I first heard this song in my teenage years, this song sparked my imagination of an ongoing and bitter battle between an evil wizard and a vengeful barbarian who lost his woman to the evil wizard, where the battles always ended up in a stalemate between the two and they would retreat to heal and regain their strength, and battle again on another day.
The bass at the beginning of the song is the barbarian mounted on his horse, with his wolf companion running by his side through the dust and wind (Richard's keyboards) of the plains, to get to the dark castle to face down the wizard who is inside. Meanwhile, the wizard is busy raising up an army of skeleton warriors with his necromancer spells (which is the sound of the Daves guitar, and Nick's drums) to defend himself and to defeat the barbarian. As the gate of the castle is breached, the barbarian shouts out, "ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!" and then the battle ensues between the barbarian and his wolf versus the wizard's skeletons. The wizard stays back behind the skeletons, weakened by the amount of magic he used to put up his defense against the barbarian. The barbarian sees his woman imprisoned (but ALIVE!) behind the wizard, and becomes excited, but also enraged that she has suffered for a long period of time. At this point, Dave's guitar, Richard's keyboards, and Nick's drums kick it up several notches to denote the epic battle as the barbarian and wolf fight hard against the skeletons and peeling them off one at a time (by each rollover of Nick's drums), until Dave's very last note where he finally dispatches the wizard with the last swing of his sword. I will leave the rest of the story to your own imaginations!
O
Another classic from Pink Floyd!!!👍👍
I was fortunate enough to see the Pulse Tour at Earls Court London. It was the best gig I've been to.
Same here, never to be forgotten, never to be bettered.
The instrument David is playing is called a "peddle steel guitar". It is used a lot in country music. Of course David Gilmour plays it amazingly. And the one line of words in this song is "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces".
This was an absolute highlight when I saw them on that tour. 100,000 people screaming and pointing at the pigs in amazement. Keep it coming Stacy. You're ready for Shine on you crazy diamond. Bom bom bom bom...if you know, you know fellow Floyd fans
Nice reaction Stacey, The lyric is "one of these day's I'm going to chop you into little pieces" I saw them twice on the delectate sounds of thunder tour in 88 and they were just amazing. The drummer Nick Mason now tours with his own band A saucerful of Secrets who play old Floyd pre Dark side and this is off Meddle and I saw them last Wednesday when they finished with this. If you get a chance to see them then do as though not the full Floyd experience they are really amazing. Highlights for me were See Emily Play, Atom Hart Mother, Echoes and Set the Controls for the Hart of the Sun. They had also managed to lift Sid's vocals off a demo tape from an unreleased song from before they had a record deal in 1965 and with modem tech played Sid's vocal and they played the music.
The bassist Guy Pratt is the son of British actor Mike Pratt, best known for his role in the 1960s show Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).
Never knew that.. love random facts like that
Thanks for that.
I love trivia like this. Cheers 👍
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" A song about bacon. Not really. They used to have a sound tape of a British DJ, Jimmy Young, who used to talk and talk and talk trivial nonsense. They cut up the tape into sections and used it in concerts. That was the basis of the idea behind the title. The Doctor Who theme was later incorporated into it. The bass theme was Rogers idea, but when he was out of the studio, David recorded the bass parts for the record. The Pig was first used for the Animals tour, and used to fly out over the crowd on a wire. This was repeated for the Wall shows during Run Like Hell, and One Of These Days for the Momentary Lapse tour, when it was the first song of the second set. I was there for two of those gigs (! ) and at one of them, it was right over my head, dipping towards me. Quite scary. I was also at one of Earl's Court Pulse shows. The set list varied, some nights they played all of Dark Side Of The Moon. The night I was there, One Of These Days closed the first half. I was about a third of the way back from the stage and could feel the heat from the flame jets at the end. One of my top five concerts of all time.
David's face reflects the fact that he knows he is the best in the world
When I seen this concert at the Silverdome the pig fell out of its box and land on its back and the legs were moving around when this song was being played, it was something to see.
Experiencing this song, at this show, on the last night of the tour, was the moment I shifted from liking Pink Floyd to being a fan.
Me...1994 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse NY...seated close to the stage, but off to the left side about 12 rows high...tapping on someones shoulder..."Um, you see giant pigs with laser eyes staring at us too....right?" Only could happen at a Pink Floyd show!!! 😂😂😂😂 I was only drinking and maybe breathing some concert aroma....with the lights and incredible music....I was starting to question what I was seeing! Those pigs were scary as heck from where I was sitting, the one on my side would have been in my lap if it didn't stop!!! At it keep looking around like it was looking for the person it wanted as a snack after "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little peices!" This was the first concert I ever left feeling like I didn't pay enough for the experience...don't recall the ticket price....but, I would have paid 10 times the amount and not felt like it was enough for the incredible memories.
Me again! It's probably been mentioned already, but in case it hasn't, the bass player is Guy Pratt. It's an understatement to say this man is talented, but what you may not know is that he had a very famous father; Mike Pratt who was an actor/musician/song writer and starred in one of the best crime detective series to ever grace our tellies over here, which was Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).
Remember it well . Didn't know Guy was a son . .What I do know is he's a brilliant bassist .
At the Toronto "Pulse" concert, "One of these Days" was the last song before the break. They finished the concert with "Run like Hell".
When you think this is a 1971 track off meddle, so far ahead of their time. I was in this croud for this recording at earls court London 1994..... This was the end of the first half of the show
This song marked the end of the first half of the concert. The second half was the entire Dark Side of the Moon album.
The Floyd dark trippin’ w/ Dr. Who!!! 💎😎
Seems like only the old school Dr Who fans catch that. 😉
I caught it the first time I heard the song. But I wasn’t 100% sure, because I had never seen an episode. But I still thought it was rebel cool to put a somewhat obscure (in the US, at least) TV show theme within their music. 😎
Their first set closer. The second set was entire DSOTM album and 3 encores.
Some of the time, yes. I was lucky enough to be there the first night they played Dark Side in its entirety. July 15 at the Silverdome just outside of Detroit. That was about 3 1/2 months into the tour. They probably played Dark Side 1/3 of the nights over the duration of the tour. Maybe a bit more.
They finished with run like hell , from the wall !
@@brianjohnston4117 Yeah, the last two encores were always Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell.
The spoken part "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" is a Nick Mason distorted voice.
I remember this track on The Old Grey Whistle Test sometime round 1973.
It was the backing track to an animation of a dancing man. Totally mesmerising, it's probably on UA-cam somewhere.
I grew up in Cambridge, lived here most of my life. Syd was the science pupil of a teacher friend of mine; I'd see him walking around Cambridge from time to time.
Love David and all of them! Since I was a teen never grew tired of them!
And this is 30 years ago, I was there.... Mindblowing beyond belif for life, love your beatiful and sensetive reaction....
I‘m recommending „keep talking“ once again‚ you should definitely try it it’s from the same concert.❤
You made my day S. I saw this concert. Years later it’s still jaw dropping. Glad to have you on boards
Hi Stacey! New sub here and absolute Pink Floyd/David Gilmour fan from Idaho. You should check out David Gilmour "Live At Pompeii" from 2016. David was the first live performance at the Pompeii Amphitheater since 79 A.D.!! 22 years after "Pulse", David Gilmour puts on a performance that is simply amazing! Also, you should listen to "A Boat Lies Waiting". This is a tribute to the late Richard Wright, Pink Floyd's piano/keyboard player.
I remember hearing the studio version as a kid. It spooked me. So much menace and dread from the composition. Simply wonderful dynamics.
The very early PinkFloyd Songs are soooooo Psychedelic....... 🥳
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️
That was wild when they came out at the concert I saw, at the end they jump out and deflated on the ground. Side Note Gilmore has a new album and is going to Tour with it and I read that the Bass Player is the only former player that he is rehiring. Ya when Gilmore puckers up, he's workin' hard, lol
I think One Of These Days was the last song of the first half of the show. And yeah, the pigs are a callback to Animals - there's a giant inflatable pig on the Animals album cover (which started drifting off during the photoshoot but that's another story!) and I think they used one during the Animals tour as well.
Wasn't one of these days from the meddle album? That came out in 71 or 72. Animals came out in 77.
Yeah, it's completely unrelated to Animals as a song but I think the pig was so iconic they wanted to tie it into the concert somehow. That's my guess anyhow!
Thank you Stacey for this.
As a young teenager on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, circa 1979, I heard this song on the radio a few times, and fell instantly in love. It was a sound that I'd never heard before. Didn't know the name of it because, you know, wacky FM DJ's don't care about the music, just mindless gabbing. All I knew is that it was by Pink Floyd. And so, whenever I would get to the record store about 20 miles away, I would buy every Pink Floyd album they had just in the hopes of getting the one with this song on it. Finally I did, and that's how I got into the music of this band. So many great memories!
I'll explain David Gilmour's style.
Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote:
David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement.
His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror.
David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer.
Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it and release like an Opera Singer.
Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines.
About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform.
For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking.
A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos.
I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it.
When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...."
I thought, WHAT THE HELL?
I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time.
Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning.
That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement.
Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!"
All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time.
However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time.
If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired)
It goes from B down to E and repeats.
David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play."
To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist.
Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉
Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤
Alice Cooper said something like,
"Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉
❤😊🎉
Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice ❤
Saw 5 times , always felt sorry for the people that sat up front. Pulse first song was "Shine On". #1 Version to watch Pompeii 1972 which was a lot of drums, #2 this one and Pompeii again in 2016 which start with a instrument I have never seen. One of the shows at the end they push the pigs out of the tunnel. the pig on the Animals sleeve broke free but story goes that a pilot radio the tower he just flew by a 50 Ft. pink pigs. Dave announce his up coming tour Madison Square Garden 4 days, Hollywood Bowl 3 days, Inglewood Cali. 1 day. Stacey if you were there it's beyond anything. As many just sat in silence when it was over.
hello stacey 😁you can fangirl as much as you want with PF 🤣
Great reaction, Stacey. We saw this show live in Philly and when this song ended (ending the first set), one of my friends commented that we needed to go to the box office and give them more money, since we had clearly underpaid for the tickets. And we still had the entire Dark Side of the Moon album (set 2) and the encores still to come. I saw them 5 times on this tour and have been to over 200 concerts. To this day, I still believe this to be one of the best concerts of all time.
Forever Pig Could Fly
Had the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd live in Clemson university stadium in South Carolina. Best concert I've ever seen period!
The bass player, Guy Pratt, has been with David Gilmore ever since this concert and is with him on his current tour. He is Richard Wrights son in law.
I can attest to the fact (4 times actually) that during their shows when this song started the entire stadium was vibrating and thudding from the speakers, combine that with the mesmerizing light show and for those of us in a certain state of mind, it was an experience without equal, nothing else is even in the same universe. These people (as a collective) know what they are doing, and most importantly, why they are there. Pink Floyd will live forever.
Keep the Floyd reactions coming please, I’m loving your journey of discovery 😀
This was the last song before the intermission, i was on the second row and at the end of this track it felt like we had been blown 10 feet further back from the stage - what an experience!
Other Pink Floyd bangers to react to "Have A Cigar" and "Welcome to the Machine" is a must. Great reactions as always Stacey.
My close friend Gil Yedidia and I would listen and watch many concert videos together and one time his brother Ronn Yedidia flew in from New York to visit for 2 or 3 days .All 3 of us watched 3 concert videos back to back,one of them being Pulse and after all of this Ronn said he liked the Pulse concert best and said they are pulling that sound from out of space.Ronn is a concert pianist and composer and owns the New York Piano Academy and has played with many of the best Jazz musicians going way back.He did not know Pink Floyd and that was the first time he had heard them.That was the first time I had heard anyone say that and coming from him at the time was very thought provoking.
Thanks, Stacey. Great reaction! Hey, I love those hexagon lights on your wall. Where can I buy them?
This is the track that closes the opening set., and they close the show with "Run Like Hell". Simply incredible. BTW, this was the opening song on their album "Meddle" (which closed with the epic "Echoes"), the album that prepared them for their masterpiece "Dark Side Of The Moon".
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️...
This song was recorded and released when I was in high school. We knew then that PF was on a different playing field. They did not fit into the music mold of that era and made us ask can they maintain the momentum they created or die as a flash in a pan. We know that answer. Time is the true test of success.😊
Glad you loved this song! It’s one of my favorites from Pink Floyd. I love the slow burn you described. Watching Gilmour play calms my soul.
Love your reaction to PF as always. I just scored tix to David Glimour's show in NYC this November!!!! So excited. Will be my first time ever seeing/hearing him.
The pig is a reference to Gilmore, when asked if original member Roger Waters would ever play with Floyd again and he said when pigs fly !

Pink floyd was the first concert I saw I saw this show in Raleigh nc. And ever concert since is judged based on this show.
Carter-Finley Stadium? I was there.
You might want to know that David Gilmour is going to play 3 or 4 shows in both New York and California later this year !!!!!
Guy Pratt is the bassist, an all-world session player who has toured with PF and many other A list acts over the decades. He'll be with David on the Luck and Strange tour this fall as well. At one time he was Richard Wright's son-in-law.
He’s also in Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets band.
Thanks Stacey❤
Love your "former volleyballer" vibes!
This is obviously from their earlier "experimental" works but carries a great melodic line that just F-ing ROCKS!!
"Fun" is the word for the day!
I saw them in Detroit on this tour. You are correct that the audience was very quiet during the songs. I think everyone was so in awe during each song that no one made a sound. It's great they recorded this concert so we can all watch it back, but I'd equate it to watching fireworks on tv. It's not quite the same experience as seeing it in person. Carry on, Stacey, you do a great job!
What you can’t tell even from the great mix done for the video, is the sound within the stadium. They had several speaker locations from to back and sound enveloped you and would move around, especially in this song. Was so surreal and wonderful.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
It was the intermission of the concert when the lights came up at the end of the song, also the lyrics are from the drummer, "One of these days, i'm going to cut you into little pieces"
Saw this show 4 times, was life changing
I saw this show at the Pontiac Silverdome. My friends and I were 15th row, on the floor, stage right. When this song played I couldn't belive how intense the heat was from the flames lighting at the front of the stage. There were 80,000 people there. My friend, that I drove there with, and I got there late because the traffic was so heavy. The security was so tight in there and they checked your ticket about every 20 feet to make sure you were going where you were supposed to be. So, when we walked into the stadium, Shine On You Crazy Diamond had just started. By the time we got to our seats they just started playing the third song. To this day it is still the best, most mind blowing concert I have ever witnessed. I still occasionally wear the concert shirt I bought.
This one -reaction- was long overdue! Pure definition of jamming.
This song is the last song before the interval . Shine on you crazy Diamond ( concert version ) is the first track and Run Like Hell is the last song. The inflatable pigs heads are a reference to Pigs on the wing track from the Lp Animals as no track from that LP is in this concert
I saw Pink Floyd live at the Division Bell concert in Ames, Iowa, back in 1994. The line of cars to the stadium was never-ending, and it felt like we spent forever just trying to get close. We eventually found a spot near the venue, and by then, the party had already started. People were everywhere, smoking openly. To my surprise (and relief), the police decided to turn a blind eye (thank goodness).
Inside, the stadium was decked out with massive inflatable pigs, The Wall hammers, and animated characters from the movie. Unfortunately, most of the concert is a blur for me... let’s just say there were so many joints being passed around that at some point, I forgot where I was. But wow, what an experience! The sound system was incredible-speakers perfectly placed to give this crystal-clear stereo sound, making you feel like you were literally inside the music.
Now, here’s a side story: as we parked, I spotted a concert ticket lying face-up on the sidewalk. It was like fate! I had two tickets to Pink Floyd! Coming from Chile, I knew this would be my only chance to see them live since they never toured my country. So, I waited outside the stadium, holding on to that extra ticket until I found the right person to give it to. Right before the show, I saw this guy-heartbroken, in tears, walking around like he'd just lost everything. He’d dropped his ticket. I went up to him and said, “Hey man, here’s your lost ticket!” I’ll never forget the look on his face-pure joy and disbelief. We hugged, then walked into music heaven together. True story!
Great reaction as always! Run Like Hell was the last song in this concert. David said good night, and they all bowed to the audience.
I was there! Earsl court London October 1994 was amazing! 🎉
I was one of the emensley lucky people to be at the Earls Court in London October 1994 Pulse Concerts..!! This was the last song of Set 1.. I was sitting in the top balcony on the left hand side looking towards the stage and the Giant 🐗 Boar/Pig was level with us on the balcony and we were about 50feet away from it as came out through the darkness halfway through the song "One Of These Days" and the lights/lazers coming out of its eyes were literally coming directly at us all the time..!! Every single song for the whole 2hours 20mins of the concert (ie) Set 1, Set 2 and the 20minute Encore was an absolute visual and musical MASTERPIECE..!! The lights, lasers, explosions, pyrotechnics, special effects and videos on the 50foot circular screen behind the band in the centre of the stage for every song was just MIND-BLOWING, Their wasn't one song in the whole concert that was done to PERFECTION, all the instruments were wired up in sync with the visuals (ie) each time a note was played with each different instrument the visuals like lights and lasers, holograms, special effects would be synchronised to go hand in hand with the music...!! I was 25 when I went to see Pink Floyd at Earls Court that night and even just over 30years later the concert still sends shivers down my spine when I think back to it or watch the DVD of the concert and I love watching people like you reacting to songs from the concert watching their music and performances for the 1st time it really puts a huge smile on my face..!! And then hear people reacting to the concert and saying that they are so jealous of the people who were there in the Stadium to see 'A MUSICAL AND VISUAL MASTERPIECE'...And makes appreciate how lucky I was to have been there in the flesh to see THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME WHO WERE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF TIME AND THEIR MUSIC WILL BE REVERED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME 🫶👌🥰🙏 One Word Sums Up Pink Floyd and their music and concerts and that is simply GENIUSES..!!
The original vocal line was by drummer Nick Mason which was then slowed down and run thru numerous effects to produce the dark, creepy vibe.
One of these days was amazing live when I saw them. That and wish you were here blew my mind. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
Amazing, love this song...That was from the end of the first part of the concert...SO excited every time you react to Pink Floyd check out "yet another movie" from the delicate sound of thunder live tour back in 86-87...
Dave just released a new music video today from his new album. The song is “Between Two Points” with his daughter, Romany on vocals. Love it.
The Delicate Sound of Thunder tour featured a giant FLYING pig with spotlights for eyes. It went out into the crowd and we all loved it!
It was right over me at the L.A. sports arena. Best seats ever. What a show.
I spent 6 hours dialing for tickets. We drove 8 hours to Houston. They played through a Texas thunderstorm with lightning hitting the skyscrapers around the stadium. Rain falling through the lasers added to the epic show. There was a possibility that acid could be found at the show… This concert and the Page/Plant tour were just a level above everyone else. As they say I’m old but got to see all the good bands.

and this piece is often played first in the second part of the concert. I had the chance to see Pink Floyd in concert twice
David making you smile, makes me smile!!! Stacey....you sooo get it!!!
I saw them at the Feyenoord stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Pulse tour was (is) the greatest show ever. Period. The whole experience was simply mesmerizing. I didn't even have to smoke a joint. Lol. This song was at the end of the first part of the concert. After that they play the whole Dark side of the moon. I've never seen a band play a whole record live before. They finished with Run like hell, which is what I intend to do now given this troubled world around us. I just don't know when and where to run. And I'm probably late already. "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun."
The only thing I like better than watching the Pulse concert, is watching you watch the Pulse concert. If there is a band on this planet worth "Fan Girling" over, it's Pink Floyd. Floyd on!
One of these days was the last song before the band took about 20 minutes break. Second half started with Shinw on Crazy Diamond and ended the concert with Run Like Hell. This was the concert I attended at Rose Bowl on April 15th, 1994
You've hit the nail on the head Stacey with the Floyd audience the beginning cheers and whistles sitting an watch and listen then cheers again, that's what true fans do in the UK for a Floyd gig. At times people who don't know the rules stand up and are immediately told to sit down in no uncertain terms if they don't. I've been to many Floyd concerts in my 67yrs and only once a whole lot of the crowd started standing up they soon had the rest of the arena telling to effin sit down. 😂
The bass is played by Guy Pratt. He was part of the "touring band" after Roger Waters left the group. He performs with David on his solo performances after 1994.
1988 ( DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER tour)
@@65alef Yeah, he played on that tour too. Pretty much everything by the post-Waters' Pink Floyd and the non-PF tours with David & Richard without Nick.
The concert was not called Pulse. The tour wad called The Division Bell Tour after the album they were promoting at the time. Pulse is the name of the Live concert album recording this awesome concert in London in 94. I was at one of the concerts during that tour in Philadelphia, PA on the 1st night of 3 nights. Each night varied as far as the songnlist. But pretty much was very close to the list for the concert on the video.
The Pig idea came about a round the Animal s album tour. There was one Pig that would fly around above the audience during specific songs. I believe, As a result of the lawsuit between Roger Waters and the rest of the band. Dave and co. couldnt use the original Pig, so they used a variant of the pig and doubled it for the tour.. Its actually a warthog. Pigs in stereo. . In the middle of the song (if your a fan of the show Dr. Who) you will hear the theme song interjected.
The song is at the end of the first half of the concert. The stage lights come on and Dave informs the audience of the intermission. The words you hear are spoken by the drummer Nick Mason with his voice slowed down and modulated. He says "one of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces."
First track on the Meddle album. Same album as Echoes. Echoes is the last track onnMeddle.
Saw them live in 1994.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" was an aggressive response to an English DJ who used to belittle the band and ramble on about useless info. This song is off the 1971 album "Meddle".
Check out, "Keep Talking". Dave uses a talk-box I think you'll find interesting.
