Repeat after me: you never interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo!
Or talk all the way through it.
Those are the first and second rules of reactors club.
....or any great solo.
EVER!
This
First rule... Never interrupt a Gilmour guitar solo. Second Rule NEVER interupt a Gilmour guitar solo Ever! Every single light, special effect was put in for the audience. They amplify and magnify the emotion in the music. This is what happens when actual musicians perform in concert. Every song tells a whole story. Pink Floyd is, was and always will be the Undisputed God's of Live performance. Everything you just witnessed was designed for the audience. It was designed to give everyone a visceral experience. A 40yr old man in a black Tshirt playing music with his friends. No bullshit posing, powerfully playing. If you want a few to checkout, react to three Epic songs performed at this concert run Keep Talking(Gilmour at God Level) , and Time. If you want a real thrill, react to the David Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert from 2016. Gilmour was in his 40s for the Pulse concert. In Pompeii he was in his 70s and as powerful as he was for Pulse.
You need to put this song in context with the rest of the album👍🏻🇨🇦🐉👩🏼⚖️
OK, I'm gonna say it...White men make the best music, bar none !!!! Love my race ❤
And don't forget the original Pink Floyd at Pompeii. Not live, but sooo good!
I agree. NEVER NEVER interrupt a Gilmour guitar solo. Suggest you actually listen to whole concerts. Don't give me this meditation shit. You won't be seeing me again.
Your constant talking insults the genius
A Pink Floyd concert isn't a show, it's an experience.
Watch it again. ALONE. Have a drink. NO TALKING. NO THINKING. Just stop and experience the entire song. I guarantee it’s beauty will make you cry. Pure magnificence! ❤️
Say, You're not one of those Pushy Ladies, are You? @kathleenkarsten5739
💯 agree, I saw them in the late 80s.... perfection
So true and what a wonderful experience it is...
A spiritual experience!!!
"David Gilmour can do more with one note than most other guitar players can do with the whole fretboard" - Dave Mustaine
It's called the Gilmour Effect.
Holy crap, only 104 likes, do these people know who you are.
David Gilmour is undoubtedly one of the greatest guitarist ever. His vocals are right up there with his guitar playing. I’m 61 years old and it’s like I hear this for the first time every time I hear it.
I’m only 38 but I grew up listening to Pink Floyd because of my dad. To this day they are my favorite band ever. Roger wrote some of the greatest lyrics I’ve ever heard and David makes that guitar screen emotion beyond belief.
Ive listened to this guy for 50yrs and he still gives me goose bumps.
Same here.
Yeh brothers. Ee were spoiled with musicians, real musicians
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
A Pink Floyd gig is not just musical... it is pure sensory overload, and an experience that you never forget.
Please NEVER stop a David Gilmore solo!!
Never call him Gilmore.. it's Gilmour
@@angusrobertson2515 oh chill out,it was an accident!!
In order to react to a song, you can´t play it directly for a long time, you have to pause.
@@IgorFioli the song can b paused earlier n the song and let the solo play through
Who set you up as the authority? It’s the guys channel, he does what he wants and if you don’t like it go somewhere else.
I was there. I can't even begin to tell you how good it was live.
You lucky, lucky sod
Pink Floyd are gods, that you need to know 👍I have been a Flyodian for 50 yrs , like thousands of others , David Gilmour his voice & guitar are genius ❤️🙏
One of the greatest electric guitar solos of all time...of all time! Time and the universe will end, this will be the soundtrack
Siempre pensé lo mismo. Cuando explote el sol sonará esto.
David Gilmore singing and playing the guitar. Nothing better.
*Gilmour
@@rippedup1931 So many write Gilmore, lol
If you don't get chills at anytime during this solo.... you might be dead or dying. No matter how many times I listen, I get chills during that outro solo.
Thank you so much for keeping this legendary band alive. I’m 55 years old and I had the life changing moment on April 30, 1994 in Birmingham, Alabama at Legion Field Stadium with over 70,000 in attendance to see this show. Now almost 30 years later I have to admit that it’s still so powerful that it brings tears to my eyes. My emotions overcome me and I still see it, I still hear it, I still feel it, I still live it and I will never get over it. It’s pure magic.
57 on Wednesday and has the same affect. Never too old. In fact, I feel you sometimes need age to truly appreciate great lyrics!
I will be 52 soon. My first live concert was Pink Floyd at the Ohio State Football Stadium "the horseshoe" in 1989 on the DSOT tour. I was blessed to be able to see them again on the Pulse tour in 1994. Words can't describe it, so I won't try. David Gilmour's guitar and voice are so beautiful together (especially live). Power, but controlled. Graceful, but never thin. Mystery without pretentiousness. Oh, wait - I said I wouldn't try to describe it! Oops! Anyways, I like your comment Grimleaf. I related to it immediately - just as you described it. Stay awesome!
You're not alone brother. Beautiful emotion.
I would argue that it is Pink Floyd that is keeping itself alive. They made such great, timeless music that it'll carry through time. :)
I lived in Huntsville for that concert. My supervisor told me if I intended to go to the concert that I would be fired immediately. 26 year old me bought the idiots line of crap and did not go. I missed out on Pink Floyd live. Finally, last October, I was able to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. If you don't know, it Nick on drums with Guy Pratt on bass guitar and 3 other super talented musicians who perform very early PF music. It was out of this world amazing. Their rendition of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is easily WAAAAAAYYYYY better than PF ever performed it back in the day. Even Roger Waters has publically attested to this on stage at one of their shows in New York. If they get back to the U.S. for another tour I would strongly suggest getting tickets. I know I will be spending the $200 for a row 4 or 5 center ticket...AGAIN❤❤❤
I'm 70 years old and Pink Floyd has to be the best production I've ever seen. You can't even call it a concert, it's a full blown production experience. All of their work is great, and their Dark Side of the Moon album is still one of the best ever done.
No argument Here.
IMO THE greatest guitar solo of all time. The transfer of emotion is off the charts. "Speaking scripture through guitar" is exactly right.
Few songs can move your soul like this one can. Not only do you listen you feel it. Physically and emotionally.
Oh, dear. He interrupted a David Gilmour solo, designated a "Crime Against Music" by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
hahahahahah.....AMEN.
Never, Ever, EVER, pause a David Gilmour guitar solo!
Hanging offence
The biggester mistake
He’s definitely my favorite guitarist the way he stretches those strings and puts his heart and soul into his guitar work just hits me deep to my core. He doesn’t have to have fast fingers to show his feelings and his music. Just close your eyes, Lay your head down and let it in.
Gilmour and knopfler the 2 best ever
Gilmour, his guitar, and his way of singing, is absolutely transcendental. no other would do so. it is unrepeatable
Traveling without moving. Those Leslie speakers rotating on stage is the best thing for the group. They spin webs of soundwaves all around, mesmerizing and sending us on our way. When my daughter listens to Pink Floyd she always closes her eyes.
Yes you should be in a darkened room with just a candle illuminating your presence.
Never..NEVER pause a David Gilmore Solo!!!
You have never seen such a stage lightning show, because Pink Floyd were the first to have ever pulled off something like this (they used computers for the light show) in 1994 - and to my knowledge nobody has ever since pulled anything comparable off in the last almost 30 years. This was so ahead of time, that it still feels timeless!
First time I saw them was in 1973 and even then, it was light years ahead of all the rest!
Trans Siberian Orchestra used Floyd as an inspiration for their stage show and of all the concerts I've seen they have come the closest. Floyd still rules, but TSO is a serious contender.
Recovering addict here. Pink Floyd has been a more important part of my recovery than i can describe. It helped me keep from going off the deep end during my worst times and helps me be calm today. P.S. Clean since 1-1-95.
In 7 days, my ex will be celebrating 40 years Clean & Sober, and she accredits Pink Floyd for part of her journey as well. We're all in good company... Keep Smiling...
I was fortunate enough to see this show two times in Detroit in 1994. Back to back nights.
There has been no production like it since.
It was truly remarkable.
Pink Floyd has always put on amazing live performances with stunning special effects. This clip is from the Pulse DVD set, probably the finest live performance ever filmed
Royal Albert Hall, and live on BBC radio 1 n BBC TV. Great night lol
I always enjoy reactors when Gilmore hits the 1st solo comment is "oh the guitar solo' . That's when I virtually say outloud 'he's just warming up hold on' lol Seb, pink floyd takes you, it's not a choice.
When I saw them almost 46yrs ago this month in Munich Germany two days after my son was born in Augsburg it made for one of the greatest experiences of my life. This pulse concert recording is one of the best albums ever recorded.
Gilmour.
This song is a conversation between a doctor and Pink, the lead character from their album "The Wall". He has had a mental breakdown and the doctor is trying to get him "fit" to perform at a gig. Hence the phrases, "Hello, is there anybody in there?" from the doctor and "I have become comfortably numb" from Pink.
I heard someone say one time, "All guitars want to be played by David Gilmore for Christmas" . Made sense too me.
Or maybe by David Gilmour.
@@psbarrow sure him too
I went to a guitar solo show before and a Pink Floyd concert broke out.
prepare to face the firing squad for pausing David's masterpiece.
I saw Pink Floyd on this tour 94 in Oakland, CA Magical night for sure!!! Closest thing I've ever had to a religious experience I've ever had.
Hey there Frostrazor. I was a High School Senior in 1973, when I got to see them in San Francisco while they were promoting their new Album "The Dark Side Of The Moon." I'm 68 fucking years old now and many, many concerts later, this is still the best concert that I've ever experienced. They played my favorite song, "Echoes," all 24 minutes worth while green smoke poured off the stage. Unbelievable.
P.S. Time is not your friend... Swoosh... Gone...
`
This song makes me cry. I was at this concert, and the emotion that just welled up in this song just got to me. I went to see There mortal remains exhibition, Pink Floyd’s equipment, and stage props f er on all their career. The last part was a large room with concerts projected on the walls, it got to this some and bam in bits again…. This time as I realised that this great line up wouldn’t play again as Rick had died… so sad but so so good
Probably the best guitar player this country has ever produced,grew up with pink Floyd still amazes me,hi from England.
We are lucky gilmour and knopfler 2 best guitarists ever
This song is like time travel for me. Everytime I hear it I go back to "94" at the Oakland Coliseum. They raised an 8 foot disco ball up, shot lasers at it then it open up like a spaceship. The Lasers hitting the Disco ball made the entire Stadium look like a flowing liquid plasma. Im 68 and listen to my old music every day and still get goose bumps..
Wonderful reaction, one cannot simply listen to a Pink Floyd song, each one is an experience, not too many things are better than putting Dark Side of the Moon on and just experiencing the entire album. In my opinion, David is THE best guitar player on the planet.
This song with David Gilmor singing and his intensely beautiful guitar playing is total SERENITY...
Same concert...Sorrow, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, Coming Back To Life...what the hell...watch it all.
Their stage for this concert was so complex and took so long to set up that they had three stages in rotation for the tour.
Pink Floyd. Simplicity, elegance, and perfection. Their music uses it's purity and sound engineering to sing directly to your heart. Face Gilmore's skill isn't in fancy rapid guitar playing, it's in tuning right into your limbic system and pulling you along with it until you feel it merge with your soul.❤❤❤
YES!
I'm so glad you got the chance to see this phenomenal performance. this has always been one of my "island songs". It's just perfection. Melody, harmony, instrumentals... One thing you talked about in another one of your videos was the difference between today's music and that of the past several decades. Namely all the changes, whether they be key changes, timing, etc. Well did you notice that the first solo was in a major key, and the last solo in a minor key. Many might not notice this outright, but it's one of the things that makes the song so dynamic. It's explodes. BTW, your are very fluent and even though I just found you this evening, I'm already enjoying your commentary.
The centerpiece of the giant disco ball hanging from the center of the room, as revealed during the final drumroll of the song, opens up top and bottom and stretches out to reveal a PINK DIAMOND....a nod to their fallen Comrad and founding band member, Syd Barret, who was also the inspiration for their song SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND.
a lot of their songs are tributes to Syd if you just listen closely you can tell
and it's a light-house bulb.
And there I was thinking that's how David summons a galactic taxi to take him back to his world 😁
I always end up with tears in my eyes with this performance. Powerful stuff.
Me too.. I don't know why exactly but I do
I’m literally learning Wish You Were Here on guitar as we speak/type. PF are renowned for their shows. The effects, brilliant. The music and lyrics on point and guitar and his riffs, legendary
That is my second favorite song by PF after this one!😀 Sebs should react to that one.
@@pfcampos7041 no arguments here. I’m been a huge fan of PF since the 80s. Obv showing my age but hey…Great band!
Wish You Were Here-one of my favorite songs.
You need to listen to their song “ time”…. It’s about what the title says. Very insightful for 20 something year olds to be singing about. Powerful words from their Dark Side Of The Moon Album (1973)
I was at the concert. Ahoy Rotterdam 1993. Actually an experience.... beyond a concert, as the acoustics at Ahoy were better than the then CD/DVD. Unbelievable and unforgettable, the mirror ball opening up and the lights throughout the stadium.... you can't describe it... thanks for that 👌🏼👏🏼
I've seen em 4 times starting in 73. The music is beyond awesome, and the show unequaled.
Soy de Argentina. Normalmente cuando comento en algunos de los canales, utilizo el traductor de Google. Pero creo que en esta ocasión no hace falta.
Cuando descubrí Pink Floyd, yo escuchaba música disco (Si tengo unas cuantas décadas encima). El disco "The Dark Side of the Moon" cambio mi manera de escuchar música.
A partir de ahí me volví adicto a ellos. Los solos de David, la inconfundible voz de Roger y el talento de Rick y Nick.
Hoy es un placer ver que tanta gente joven los está descubriendo.
Gracias por reaccionar a uno de sus tantas grandes creaciones.
Me suscribo en este momento.
Otra gran canción de ese mismo concierto es "One of this days". Aunque todo el concierto vale ser visto y escuchado.
Personalmente la canción que mas me gusta es "Echoes". Solo debo decir que dura unos increíbles 24 minutos. Todo un viaje.
Gracias de nuevo.
Wish You Were Here is one of my all time favorite songs.
Thanks for reacting to this amazing performance. Pink Floyd was known for its laser light shows. David Gilmour is my favorite rock guitarist. He plays with such emotion. I suggest checking out the song 'Sorrow' from this same Pulse concert. It's got another great guitar solo and the band really comes together and jams.
The first rock show that I ever saw live was Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon back in 1973. I was 16 at the time and now 66. I got hooked on prog rock right on the spot and still am 50 years after. David Gilmour is the master of the slow note. Some play faster or do more difficult lick, but he can pass the emotion of a song just by stretching a note and bending it like nobody else.
I was one of the lucky ones to be at Earls Court for this concert and you need to watch the whole concert it's called Pulse Tour 1994 in London, every single song is exactly the same as what you just watched the music and the visuals (ie) lazers, lights, speacial effects, pyrotechnics, holograms etc etc basically is the GREATEST CONCERT EVER SEEN OR PERFORMED BY A BAND..!! PERIOD...I was sitting in the top balcony looking down towards the left of the stage and was directly opposite the Giant Mirror Ball which came down from the ceiling in Comfortably Numb which then opened up like some sort of Spaceship and with the lazers beaming directly onto it was just mind-blowing..!! I'm 53 now and when I think about the concert or watch it back it still sends shivers down my spine every time... 😱🫢🤯😮.. I remember as we were leaving the Stadium their was complete stunned silence as everyone was in a state of euphoric shock at what we had all just witnessed...Pink Floyd the absolute GREATEST BAND LIVE TO SEE AND THEIR CONCERTS ARE JUST PURE EMOTIONAL BRILLIANCE AND THEATRE...No band even comes close to Pink Floyd's stage shows, we're the music and theatrics are all in perfect sink..Every beat of an instrument is in harmony with the lights, lasers, explosions, pyrotechnics and speacial effects..The Masters of Live Concerts
I went to one of these shows at Earls Court. You just didn't hear the music but felt it, literally, it vibrated through my chest. I have been a lifelong fan and seeing them do this live is one of those to the grave moments.
I went to one of their laser shows and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen! The lighting adds so much to the music! 🔥❤️👵🏼☮️
I went to a laser show in L.A. 20 years ago and I was hooked. I had heard of them, of course, but never bothered to listen until then. I immediately bought Dark Side of the Moon.
* In a radio interview around 1980 with Jim Ladd from KLOS in Los Angeles, Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band. Exploring further, Mojo asked Waters about the line, "That'll keep you going through the show," referring to getting medicated before going on-stage. He explained: "That comes from a specific show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia (June 29, 1977). I had stomach cramps so bad that I thought I wasn't able to go on. A doctor backstage gave me a shot of something that I swear to God would have killed a f---ing elephant. I did the whole show hardly able to raise my hand above my knee. He said it was a muscular relaxant. But it rendered me almost insensible. It was so bad that at the end of the show, the audience was baying for more. I couldn't do it. They did the encore about me." >>
I mean, I won’t repeat the obvious mantra here on pausing hahaha.
I got the impression watching this that you were more concerned with your own commentary for the sake of your viewers than you were with the actual music you were experiencing.
This song is … phenomenal. An absolute masterpiece. People are here for the vibe. The feels. The sheer emotion that Gilmore is able to bring out with his talent (shout out to to Mr Wright on Keys, RIP!).
For songs like this that have an absolute timeless following of fans, you just show up and plug in with your best set of earphones/cans and enjoy the ride. And if you genuinely like it, ask us for more. Glad you got to listen to something as fantastic as this. 👍👍
This video has been reacted to by countless people. YOU just added your name to the very small list of people who actually had the audacity to PAUSE during Gilmour’s epic solo. YOU now get the Finger Of Shame pointed at you.
Brutal. 😩
Some of the best music from my college years. What a time to be alive. Don't interrupt the solo!
I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
Pink floyd was the music to drive and get high with. Dark side of the moon was our favorite when i was 13. My brother and sister were into getting me high.
The most epic guitar solo in rock history. Gilmore truly becomes one with his guitar. I never get tired of this song. …literally get goose bumps every time I hear it. Great vocals too, always.
okay this is a conversation between a doctor and patient. the verse is the doctor, the chorus is the patient. it's concerning "Pink" (band member, the protaganist of the album/story) being sick and not able to perform and the doctor fixing him so he can play. the show must go on! Welcome to the machine!
"Kind of." The whole album is a story of alienation, isolation, coping with pressures in life; "CN" is just a part of the main character's life progression through the album's songs. What say you about the bass line, too? Sure, Gilmour's solos are jaw-dropping, but the whole band contributes to this epic performance.
@@artbagley1406 the bass line drives a lot of the band's songs. money, the wall and others have predominant bass lines. that being said I love the story behind the wall.
Here you have an amalgam of the band and their histories. Starting in a post WWII England, a society suffering from PTSD after being bombed by the blitzkreig and losing a large amount of their young men, watching as their neighbor France was occupied just across the channel.
I have to imagine growing up back then a lot of the young men had over-protective mothers and a sense of insecurity.
Watcing that be reinforced with events that happen during his life, failures with women, depression, addiction, some slight paranoia possibly.
@@Hobodeluxe960 Maybe you know the answer to this question, HD960: do you recall 1973 The Who album "Quadrophenia"? Might that have influenced Pink Floyd's mindset in that "lost generation" or angst-filled post-war mood?
@@artbagley1406 umm not exacly sure what you're asking. How could something that happened in 1973 influence a mindset shaped 30yrs previous?
The sick one is founding band member & writer Sid Barrett
So much to say about this song, band and performance.. This song gives you another level of feelings.. and knowing it was probably inspired and written after a "haze" of meds taken.. For me this song takes another turn by the lyrics and feel when you think of your own old parents surviving with the help of several medicines and painkilling pills..I believe that is one reason this song will never be forgotten... So relatable for many people .... Sad but true.. Amazing song..I love it..!! Great reaction..Thanks for sharing it with us..Loved the chakra and color symbolism..Take care !!! :)
Saw them on this tour in Dallas during a spring thunderstorm. Most theaters didn’t have surround sound back then, but Pink Floyd did. It was so incredible!!
There's a lot of amazingly good guitarists out there, but to me David Gilmour makes the guitar sing like nobody else does, he's on another level, did you watched high hopes? if not, it's a must, that guitar solo is pure gold
Bro. I can't believe it took you this long to discover Pink Floyd. As a devote Tool fan, I have to tell you that the general consensus among the Tool Army is Pink Floyd are also God's. So much meat on this bone. Check out Time, or the entire Dark Side of the Moon album. There is a reason that album was on the charts for a record amount of time.
Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, the album remained in the Billboard 200 albums chart for 736 nonconsecutive weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 16 July 1988).
They were so ahead of their time.
i have only recently became a subscriber to your channel and love your reactions to some of the greatest country music and classic rock I came up in the 60s but around 1980 the music pretty much died and so I started listening to country and like you the story telling was so compelling that I was hooked so keep doing what your doing and I will keep listening and thank you for your honest and compelling reactions
Well, never mind on my request, I didn’t realize that you had already reacted to this!! Thanks anyhow lol
talking about meditation or anything in the middle of a guitar solo is a rnr crime
let me suggest a floyd song, especially because you´re into meditation: "shine on you crazy diamond" (studio version from the album "wish you were here")
All of the parts!
And we learn about “chakras” in the middle of a guitar solo. The admonitions about pausing and commenting during solo reflects a real appreciation for this tremendous performance.
I just found your channel and I enjoy your reactions. All Pink Floyd songs hold a special place in my life. I had a friend in high school who went through some tough mental issues. He ended killing someone, and then tried to hang himself in jail. He did not succeed and ended up in a vegetative state for many years until his passing. All that to say, is that Pink Floyd takes me back to a time when we were all trying to get through life, not making the best decisions, just trying the best we could. Been to several Pink Floyd concerts, and they are better than the videos! Anyway, thanks for listening to music and being honest in your reaction to it. Just wish more of you youngins would appreciate this type of music. Keep up the good videos.
N e v e r e v e r paus a guitar solo!
David Gilmour's soloing is the pinnacle of emotion in music for me, maybe only matched by John Frusciante's work, they just take you somewhere else, man.
Que tengas un día genial Sebas, abrazo a la distancia 🤙
Totally different music styles but if you’re looking for emotion, give Hi Ren a shot. This trilogy is 2nd to none fused with angst and emotion. It’s heavy….but Ren is gifted. Best to also read up about him and his very long, very mentally and emotionally draining journey to where he is now
m.ua-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/v-deo.html. ‘Sorry, forgot the link’
Other than interrupting a Gilmour guitar solo - great reaction video! Thank you.
Look at the respect from the audience...sitting motionless absorbing every light, every single note. Without question, greatest song ever performed.
If I get "goosebumps" listening to this song in my livingroom, I would be a puddle on the floor at the concert! Love me some David Gilmour! And Nick and Richard (RIP) and last but not least Roger. Enjoying your reactions, stay chill!
@@pamelahughes341 i was lucky enough to see them 3 times. other-worldly.
@@rodneystewart899 Not fair!! I haven't been on earth as long as David G., but I've been in love ever since I first heard Pink Floyd. Never got to see them.
Two rules that you must follow, my friend.
First Time... NEVER pause a guitar solo of David Gilmour.
Second Rule... Total respect to the first rule.
The best band of all times.
In life, everything have a good side and a bad side. The only exception are the Pink Floyd albums.
Welcome to Pink Floyd universe.
Blows your mind when they were making music from in the late nineteen sixties over.50 years ago amazing
They are mesmerizing! Love me some Pink Floyd!
A Pink Floyd concert is one of the most amazing experiences. Saw them live at Mile High Stadium and they did not disappoint. The fact that you don't know about them, or what the lyrics are about just means you get to experience them now. I suggest you do those, and also... NEVER INTERRUPT A GUITAR SOLO to talk about "shakras".
Dear friend, you have been guided towards a single song from a saga know as "the wall". Although it is an album, it is also a cinematic epilogue to syd barrett (Rodger Keith Berrett). He played a detrimental part in their development and, RE: The Wall, had a fascination with gardening, which may explain the flower scene in the wall which is also portrayed as a sexual connection and/or control. If you would like to hear his influence more check out "opel" which was a compilation of previously unreleased/ unpublished tracks from the late 80's.
Thanks for covering this topic. Pink Floyd has a place in my heart and to see you discovering it decades later warms my heart bros.
The song is about an episode when the band was on tour and Roger Water had hepatitis. He was very sick before a show and they got a doctor to come to the hotel and he ended up giving Water an injection of some pain killer. "I am becoming comfortably numb..." is an expression of the sensation he got so he could go on stage and do the show. I recall he did not remember the show but he was, well, numb and able to play bass. This experience lead to the song which is done in the voice of both the doctor and the patient.
This is maybe the greatest guitar solo in rock history and Gilmour did it many times in concert over the years. This is a great show to hear the song for the first time. I have been listening to Pink Floyd since their first album Gilmour is master of his craft.
I've been to only one laser-light show in my life (Denver Planetarium), but the music was Pink Floyd. It was the perfect experience. So amazing, I never need to see another.
There is no other show like theirs anywhere! They have the light show, videos, robots, the beautiful back up singers, giant props that fly over your head and with open stadiums his jet flies overhead at the end of the show.
Sebs, I was at the Pulse 94' Pink Floyd concert. Clemson SC, May 12th. I was 19, honored and privileged to get to be there and witness this! There will just never be *this* again! BEST 👏 CONCERT 👏 EVER 👏 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!
David rips his heart and soul, serves it directly to ours, deeply out of deepness and leaves us rethinking our existence. This is how the music is supposed to speak to us.
I am new to your channel, but as a really long-term, long-time Floyd fan, you can meditate to so much of their music. Enjoy your new life, my friend.
Glad you liked the show. I worked on the stage crew for pulse back in the day.
I'm 78 and Still listening to the great Bands of this Era We had the best real music and best Guitarist s .so Happy to see you have an appreciation for this Era to carry on don't let it die
and that is why Pink Floyd is one of the greatest bands ever... If not the greatest
Every listening, Goose bumps all over my body and the sensation of going higher and higher. And that my soul leaves my body really. It’s like a karmic experience. That's why I'll never tire of it in my life. Each time is a new journey. Thank God who blows through them all to David's solo. That's really how I feel.
Best version of this song...hands down. I watch this version once a week!! The lighting and disco ball fits perfectly!!!
been a floyd fan for over 40 years still my #1 saw them live best ever
I got to see this concert in Dallas. I try to explain to people what the experience was like when the lights hit that massive mirror ball and reflected on the entire arena, but I just can't do it justice. David Gilmour is hands down my favorite guitarist and seeing this song performed live like this was one of the highlights of my life.
The Pulse was the first live concert i was, with 17! A big event, but i was not thinking it would be such a classic today. Happy i was there!
I hate you !!!(in a good way)
Seen them 3 times, 70’s and 80’s
Mind blown and life changed
Most people crash in visceral feelings when the huge disco ball breaks up together with the amazing guitar solo, the colors used are very well-chosen, when I was studying light engineer, these videos were displayed as learning stuff. Pink Floyd had their own engineers and lights, I think they mastered RGB lighting very well. So the "waves" you were talking about comes from the huge disco ball, reflecting the lights underneath and on the sides. If you are in a dark room with only one ball and pin spot pointing on it, you probably have problems to stand up straight. Because your brains get flooded with information, the waves. When I was working in different clubs, I changed the lighting very quick, from laser light circles to scan lights on different disco balls spread over the entire club, not a healthy place for people with epilepsy. Disco balls were very popular in the 60s and 70s till this day. With drug usage, the effect even got intenser. So, these fits very well with this genre of music.
David never played solos the same way every performance. This performance was the best of the best solo ever done to this iconic masterpiece. I was fortunate to have attended the short show at Rice stadium in Houston, TX. The sound was tremendous. I cannot imagine being in an enclosed arena with 20,000 other people to experience the sound that was trapped in there. Great reaction, except for pausing during a Gilmour solo, which will give you grief.
Pink Floyd is renowned for giving the best light shows, ever.
99% of pink Floyd is duller than a dull thing on a really dull day, this is the exception and the last 1%
This is from the 1994 PULSE concert, and the entire show is worth a watch. Some of the solos are epic, but the lighting is just as important as the music. This was the quintessential Pink Floyd track you heard, and I advise seeking out more from them.
