I'm 64yrs old, music has always been an intregal part of my life. I'm always glad to see younger people discover "new" music from the past. Don't worry about the haters, you are doing a great job friend!
hi. i'm an old [68] man who's been into Pink Floyd since 73. if i wanted to listen to them, uninterrupted, i wouldn't watch reactors. i love seeing young people [especially] discovering them, as well as all the other stuff i've spent a lifetime listening to. so do your own thing and enjoy
Same! I'm (only) 38 but I've known PF my whole life because my parents were huge fans. So I legit can't remember ever listening to them for the first time and I so wish I did! That's why I love watching first reactions. It's a little bit of a vicarious thing but I'm also genuinely happy to witness that discovery.🤩
Spot on Sorrow is much dismissed by some in favour of Comfortably Num but in my book it is as good if not better. The founder member of Pink Floyd was Syd Barrett Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Artist and Poet. Unfortunately he had some mental health issues and an addiction to LSD that he took in increasingly large quantities. He became extremely unreliable disappearing for long periods. So the band ended up bringing in David Gilmour and eventually parting company with Syd or it could have been the other way around really. Syd became a total burn out but did regain most of his mind and released some Solo Work. Syd Passed away in 2006 may he have found peace. Syd was the inspiration for much of the bands work the Album Wish You Were Here was really a tribute to him. The Key Board player is Richard Wright another of the originals he passed away from Lung Cancer in 2008. Rodger Walters Base Player and Singer, original member split with the band in 1985 and a massive legal battle ensued that he eventually lost. Still performing his solo work and The Wall. Nick Mason Drummer, original member is still performing and has his own band Saucer Full of Secrets playing a lot of Pink Floyd's early work.
I'm a 74yr old Native American elder. My opinion: you do well enough I've subscribed to your channel. My advice: the only person who has no detractors is the person who does nothing. My fairy grandpa blessing to your life: do what you love doing and build for yourself a fulfilling life. Keep on trucking.
The Pulse Tour is the absolute benchmark for a live performance for me. I saw Floyd only three times live, the Pulse Tour was the peak, with all the visuals, lasers and all that. I watched it in a stadium and it was like flying through space and time.
Dude - I'm an older dude who appreciates your take on this path. Happy to see/hear you experience stuff like this. Be you. Those who don't like it can move along.
I'm an old dude and love watching younger gen discover old music and comment so F those guys. Just don't pause during the guitar solos or they'll come after you heavy
I'm 65 and I dont have a problem with your reactions. Think its great to see when young people discover Floyd. Also check out Echoes live at Pompeii. I've heard it all and also think this is still my favorite performance of all time. Just watched the U2 performance at the state of the art Sphere in Vegas and think Pulse, even though 30 years old, is far better. Analog beats digital every time.........
Don't let the bozos get you down, mate. Some people are just natural a**holes. That being said, yes, this song is an absolute banger and probably my favorite one in this concert. One Of These Days from this same concert also rocks hard. The Great Gig in the Sky from Pulse is just heavenly and I highly recommend it. Makes me cry every time. Look, even though you've experienced only a couple of Pink Floyd songs it's easy to see their music has hit you in that special way that the rest of us Floydians recognize. You're one of us, one of us, one of us!! 🤘🏽💗
And more...Richard William Wright (28 July 1943-15 September 2008) was an English keyboardist and songwriter who co-founded the progressive rock band Pink Floyd in 1965. He appeared on almost every Pink Floyd album and performed on all their tours. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a member of Pink Floyd.
Hey, great reaction to one of Pink Floyd's masterpieces. Richard Wright, the keyboardist, is the singer who died (over a decade ago). His playing was an essential ingredient to that famous Pink Floyd sound, perfectly accompanying the legendary guitar playing of David Gilmour. The older drummer is Nick Mason, an original band member along with Richard Wright (David Gilmour joined the group a couple of years after the band formed, replacing Syd Barrett, who had mental issues). Roger Waters, another original band member, left the group in the mid-eighties, I believe, and is not present for this great Pulse concert of 1994. He was Pink Floyd's chief lyricist and bass player. Unfortunately, he had a massive ego and left the band in a huff, declaring it a "spent force." He was so wrong about that. Pink Floyd put out some great albums after he left, and performed some of the greatest rock concerts in history. This Pulse concert is the crown jewel of their live performances. Some standouts you should still react to: Keep Talking, High Hopes, One Of These Days, and Run Like Hell. But really, all the songs from this concert are marvelous and worth reacting to.
Sorry I didn't read the comments on this video - I see I wrote virtually the same thing but after you. Well - at least I can see that we have common thoughts ;-)
I'm 65 and I also think it's great watching young people ...and their reaction to seeing incredible classics for the very first time. There's always going to be those that complain no matter what. Let it go in one ear and out the other. Live life doing what makes you happy and don't let others drag you down because of their soured attitude. Don't give them time or even a mention. You did a good job young man ...I enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece.
i love sorrow. David Gilmour has said its his favourite guitar solo he's written and enjoys playing. underrated album which i saw played live before Pulse with the same lighting and quadraphonic sound system in the old Wembly stadium, it was incredible, you leave not knowing what else to do, you don't want it to stop, you feel elation and overwhelmed, and nothing seems to matter for a few for days it is profound experience, that's without drugs of any kind, never experienced that since at a concert.
I’m 71 years old and from northern England I remember getting my 1st drum kit in 1966 and learning to play along with the records of the time, then in 1967 I heard a single “Arnold Layne” by a new band Pink Floyd. This was the start of a lifelong journey although when Syd Barret lead guitarist/ vocalist and songwriter left the band in 1968 due to I’ll health, I thought that was the end. But David Gilmour joined and his guitar and vocals took them to another level. To choose a favourite track is difficult they’re all great. Many will say “comfortably numb” the live Pulse concert . . . It’s hard to disagree also “ on the turning away “ Enjoy young man. 🤘
And on that note, I belive the best live version of "On The Turning Away" is from a few years prior to the Pulse tour: ua-cam.com/video/xEMy34qhQe4/v-deo.html. And to be appreciated: the subtle effect of those three choir girls.
Take no notice of haters. They could easily find copies of the songs, without interruptions on UA-cam. I'm 65 and I am really happy to see younger people reacting to the music I've loved for years. My own kids were never interested in my music, which I always felt a shame.
Regarding the little rant I had at the start of the video. None of it applies to the people who have subscribed, like the video and/or leave positive comments on my videos. I appreciate every single one of you that shows your support and help inform me on videos I am reacting to. I’ll continue to make great reaction videos for you guys and I hope you’ll all stick along for the journey. To the people who leave pathetic negative comments, you’re also helping me. Your comments help push my videos into the algorithm and helps grow the video even more! Anyway… I hope you guys enjoy this video and thank you so much for all the support so far!
Any music reactor will end up with those subscribers who enjoy his style and expertise, and if he is unsuccessful in acquiring subscribers, he will either learn from the constructive criticism that viewers provide, or he will close down. The marketplace (audience) will sort things out. Certainly there is no reason (other than boorishness) for anyone to write insulting comments--if what you watch does not appeal to you and you cannot bring yourself to suggest improvements in a polite manner, just move on. We older viewers should consider that, just maybe, our reason for watching reaction videos is not to listen to a treasured song for the umpteenth time, it is to see neophytes experience the music that we feel is timeless.
I truly appreciate your honest reactions to music you have never heard before. There are always the "haters" who have nothing better to do than bring other people down. Keep going strong!!
Greetings from Miami, Florida! David Gilmour is the lead singer and lead guitarist. He is alive and I believe he is around 77 years of age now. Richard Wright (keyboards) passed away in England in 2008. Nick Mason is the older of the 2 drummers and he is also alive. Claudia Fontaine (1 of the 3 background singers) passed away in England in 2018.
For the ones in comments who complains, go touch grass dudes.. this is mollys channel, dont ruin it for those of us who are truly happy with reactions. Molly, keep up the amazing work no matter what people say.
Don't let complainers get to you. Pink Floyd had 3 stages, it took 3 days to set up and 2 days to take down so either they played 1 show a week or get more stages. They would play on one stage while they were tearing one down in another city they played in while building one in another city. They just Leap Frogged from one stage to another. I still have my Ticket Stub from this Tour. Sid Barret died decades ago.
Duuuuuuuuude. i love your reactions. Old guy here and so emotional watching young people experience for the first time what we have watched for almost 50 YEARS. See, we were cool once. You be You.
Today's Plastic Fantastic so-called artist can't hold a candle to artist like Pink Floyd. Today's artist wears shinny suits with scantily clad backup dancers piddling about behind them to hide the fact that they have no talent. David Gilmour wears jeans and a plain black t-shirt on stage and blows the audience away with their performance. It's fun to see younger people go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Great Reaction.
I've been a floydian since 1969 and enjoy your honest reactions. 3 original members at Pulse-94: David Gilmour guitar, Richard Wright keyboards (R.I.P.), Nick Mason drums. Syd Barret had to quit in -69 due to mental illness, Roger Waters went solo after The Wall and Final Cut, still going strong. A good advice: Try out "Echoes" live Pompeii part 1&2, 1972. Then listen to the whole album "Dark Side of the Moon" (-74) in two parts, were the second starts with "Money". -That's a nice beginning... Another good advice: When you pause the video, wind back five-ten seconds before you start over again, so we don't miss a cord! Good luck and enjoy both lyrics and soundscapes, you won't regret! Peace out from Janist in norwegian woodlands.
One of the great things about Pink Floyd is they know how to pace a concert and use. Nothing is rushed, it's all precise and professional. A class act from start to finish.
Someone once commented that David Gilmour's second guitar solo on Comfortably Numb is mankind's greatest achievement. This solo from Sorrow ranks up there with it.
I'm an old man (a 73 year old fart, if you will), and I really like your reactions. I don't think your pauses are intrusive because I've already heard the song(s) 1000 times before you were born, so it makes no nevermind to me. Besides, your pauses are short and to the point. I kinda figure that if one wants to see/listen to a particular song then perhaps one should actaually LOOK FOR THE SONG OR VIDEO AND LISTEN TO IT! What I appreciate, though, is the way you really LISTEN to the tune, to actually get what it's about. Don't worry about the 'old man' comments, please. Do just what you're doing and you will go far, young man. You have my blessing, LOL! Rock on...............
The difference between old and new music is talent and respect for the audience. Most new music "artists " can't sing or play any instruments. It shows.
62 here, ignore the haters, it’s great seeing younger people discovering great music so the legend continues. Imagine being there, the guitar fills the arena, intense, raw, you feel it in your very soul. We were so lucky.
Great reaction, man. It’s your channel, so do whatever you want. If nobody tunes in, then maybe you need to fine tune things, but so far, I think you’re doing well. Keep up the good work and have some fun in the process.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I'm 69 yo and I admire our youth especially for the first time reactions. Your feedback/takeaway is priceless. I'm excited for you that our gen had great rock n roll your journey is important. Personally attended over 30 of Floyd's live shows. The top drawer for me was Roger Waters Pink Floyd Live In Berlin tearing down that piece of The Wall was historical.
From a guy who got to see Floyd on this tour, a metal guy. This was the BEST SHOW. I have EVER seen in my life. I have seen and worked hundreds! No joke. BTW eff them whining fools.
70 year old here. Like others have said, do what works for you! I've subscribed and enjoy your reactions! Love watching younger folks be blown away by music I've loved since I was younger than you!
Yeah, thanx to the others before me, who already said it. I'm here to relive my first Floyd experiences. Discovered them off of a dog urine stained cassette on the floor of my buddie's dad's pinball game room. They left it there and called it "Pink Piss" lol. I was 11 then, 49 now. Enjoy your journey anyway you wanna ride on it, and thanks for letting us ride along 😊
The great David Gilmour lead vocalist and guitarist of Pink Floyd is alive and well and enjoying retirement. last toured in 2016 as a solo act performing many of Pink Floyd's greatest songs along with his own solo stuff. The original lead singer and co-founder of the band was Syd Barrett. Syd went a little funny in the head and was dropped from the band after their first album. However his ghost remained with them throughout their career, often alluding to him in song and concepts of their most celebrated albums. Give a listen to "Brain-damaged/Eclipse" studio version from one of the great concept albums of all time "Dark Side of the Moon" to hear an example . It's also among the biggest selling albums of all time. Good job. 👍
Pay no mind to the people complaining. The positive people enjoy seeing younger generations enjoy the music we grew up listening to. Give Dogs a listen to, it is outstanding!
Also want to say I enjoy watching a younger person like yourself see this historical quality music and realizing it is something special. Keep going ! You’re doing great for a newcomer to Pink Floyd 😊
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour 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'm 64 and I appreciate what it is you do as well as your observations. When younger people such as yourself experience music form my earlier days for the first time and I see the joy it brings to you, it reminds me of the first time I experienced the music and the joy I felt. Don't take any sh!t from anyone and keep working.
Hey, I don't expect people of your age to be Pink Floyd fans. Heck learning is the fun of it. Enjoy it. You will learn. Richard Wright, the older keyboard player is the one who passed away. He is missed.
this song and Run like hell were almost the best songs on the night, do run like hell' u will still enjoy it, even though u may not no the context of it. its basically the best version of the song from this concert.
Every person who hears Pink Floyd for the first time, says the same thing. I’ve got to hear more ; this music speaks to my soul. 50+ years later, it still does for me. Cheers !!❤❤
It makes me very happy to see young people discovering this great music from a great era long gone. She is far too good to be forgotten. "one of these days", "run like hell", "Time", "high hopes" are songs from the Pulse concert that you will definitely like.
My husband and I took our 12 and 14 year old sons to this in Washington D.C. open air arena. They rerouted air traffic because of the laser show. It was an unbelievable concert. The boys still listen to Floyd and so do I at 70.
First time seeing them was 1971. Have seen them 4 more times since. I have seen the great ones from Hendrix, Airplane and such. These guys where the best band bar none. These guys take you on an emotional journey every song. No one comes close .
I’m a 61 years young woman and I love your reactions. When I want to listen to Pink Floyd I put the vinyls and what a ride it is. Keep reacting and be yourself. We are here to see how their music affects you. Sorry for my English because it’s not my native language. All the best to you❤
Don’t worry about haters. You are young and didn’t grow up with these older bands. One thing is never pause a David Gilmore solo. That’s it. Enjoy yourself!😎
As someone who grew up listening to Pink Floyd, I love seeing a young man discovering them and falling in love with their music as much as I did. I want to hear what you think and feel about them, so ignore the people who don't seem to get what a "reaction" is supposed to be about. Great reaction!
As a first time listener to any PF song, it’s next to impossible to know exactly when any brilliant moment happens. That’s why we listen to each song over, and over, and over. Don’t sweat the ass-hats. Welcome to the machine, enjoy the journey.
I'm new here AND I'm one of the older guys, but I love your reaction. Great to hear the younger generation listening to and appreciating these classic rock masterpieces! Your Pink Floyd journey has just begun I suspect in which case I envy you hearing this music for the first time written and performed by aliens from another world. I saw them live in January 1970 at Farnborough Technical College (as it was called then). Never got into them until later on in life and now they are my favourite band of all time with 'Comfortably Numb' being my favourite song of all time! May I suggest another truly amazing number from this concert called 'Keep Talking' which features the famous physicist Professor Stephen Hawking - terrific number.
MollyBoy, you have a good reaction style and don't let negative comments affect it. You don't want to change what is you to please someone...it serves no purpose. Your a young man who wants to experience different types of music and good on you. Keep on doing what your doing and you will be rewarded for your efforts. Might I suggest you take a chance and get into some Led Zeppelin...you will love them...try "You Shook Me"..studio version for starters. Good day from CANADA .
It is another singer. To be honest the singer they are referring to was long gone by time Pink Floyd became Pink Floyd. He was on the first album which is just acid rock
Good luck on your journey mate. Don't let the haters get to you. Real fans want to see you pause the song, chat about it, rewind a bit and keep going. we've all heard these songs thousands of times. Have fun with it. The main this is don't talk over the song, just pause it!
You need to react to all songs from PULSE concert (version Restored and Re-edited). React to song On The Turning Away Live too (from Delicate Sound of Thunder concert)
Pink Floyd is my favorite band. I was fortunate enough to see them live in 1988 and 1995 (Pulse). David Gilmour is a legend for his guitar work. Not a lot of crazy fast riffs but he could make a guitar sing like no other. And like others said, he did not die. The keyboardist/singer Richard Wright passed away unfortunately.
If you ever do get a chance to see Pink Floyd, live and concert, set as far back as you can, because the Lightshow is part of the best slideshow in the world!
You’re fine my man, fuck ‘em, your reaction channel is great! You do you and listen to, enjoy and research the older bands who were the founders of rock, metal and prog.
Pretty much any song from Pulse is gold. High Hopes and Keep Talking are two more excellent examples of “newer” Pink Floyd songs from the same post Roger Waters era as Sorrow.
I turned 70 a week ago and still feel like I'm 20 something. My generation had the greatest music ever from Sinatra to Nirvana. I love seeing younger generations discovering some of the greatest music ever. Keep on learning the music as well as the history of the bands. 15:33
This is the 2nd Greatest Live Guitar Solo... Only because #1 is later in the show. I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed.
This whole concert from beginning to end is so worth the time! Love your reactions! Heavenly is right...The Great Gig in the Sky from this concert is pure Heaven
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
Don't worry about negative comments, mate! No worries!! You just aren't familiar with the band and are just starting to check it out. There will always be assholes and just ignore them. :) Keep rocking on!
You should do the entire concert. Pink Floyd albums and concerts really need to be listened to in their entirety to fully appreciate the genius of the artists. This concert was probably the best ever when it comes to guitar solos.
I'm 64yrs old, music has always been an intregal part of my life. I'm always glad to see younger people discover "new" music from the past. Don't worry about the haters, you are doing a great job friend!
We miss you, Richard Wright 🙏
Let the haters hate, you just keep being you and enjoy your journey!
hi. i'm an old [68] man who's been into Pink Floyd since 73. if i wanted to listen to them, uninterrupted, i wouldn't watch reactors. i love seeing young people [especially] discovering them, as well as all the other stuff i've spent a lifetime listening to. so do your own thing and enjoy
Thank you for your kind comment!
Same! I'm (only) 38 but I've known PF my whole life because my parents were huge fans. So I legit can't remember ever listening to them for the first time and I so wish I did! That's why I love watching first reactions. It's a little bit of a vicarious thing but I'm also genuinely happy to witness that discovery.🤩
Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole...it's a deep one. David Gilmour is a gift to humanity.
yeah..., but bet he doesn't make it to Mildenhall...... get that reference and you'll win a set of Tiffany cuff links
Spot on Sorrow is much dismissed by some in favour of Comfortably Num but in my book it is as good if not better.
The founder member of Pink Floyd was Syd Barrett Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Artist and Poet.
Unfortunately he had some mental health issues and an addiction to LSD that he took in increasingly large quantities. He became extremely unreliable disappearing for long periods. So the band ended up bringing in David Gilmour and eventually parting company with Syd or it could have been the other way around really. Syd became a total burn out but did regain most of his mind and released some Solo Work. Syd Passed away in 2006 may he have found peace. Syd was the inspiration for much of the bands work the Album Wish You Were Here was really a tribute to him.
The Key Board player is Richard Wright another of the originals he passed away from Lung Cancer in 2008.
Rodger Walters Base Player and Singer, original member split with the band in 1985 and a massive legal battle ensued that he eventually lost. Still performing his solo work and The Wall.
Nick Mason Drummer, original member is still performing and has his own band Saucer Full of Secrets playing a lot of Pink Floyd's early work.
Floyd is a gift to humanity!
Syd Barrett, founding band member and original singer died in 2006. He had left the band in 1968 after David Gilmour joined
Yes, he puts soul into your heart and soul.
Pink floyd, the irreplaceable great band of the 20th century..... I will never forget Pink floyd😢🎸🇬🇧🎸✌️
Let’s all take a moment to be thankful this concert was recorded 🙏🏼

“Something about electric guitars gets me every time”
SAME!!
I'm an old dude and love watching younger gen discover old music and comment so F those guys. Just don't pause during the guitar solos or they'll come after you heavy
The greatest live band by a country mile.
I'm 65 and I dont have a problem with your reactions.
Think its great to see when young people discover Floyd.
Also check out Echoes live at Pompeii.
I've heard it all and also think this is still my favorite performance of all time.
Just watched the U2 performance at the state of the art Sphere in Vegas and think Pulse, even though 30 years old, is far better.
Analog beats digital every time.........
Don't let the bozos get you down, mate. Some people are just natural a**holes. That being said, yes, this song is an absolute banger and probably my favorite one in this concert.

Pink floyd - Marooned. If you are looking for one of the best guitar solos. David Gilmour can make his guitar talk, he is the best!

Take no notice of haters. They could easily find copies of the songs, without interruptions on UA-cam. I'm 65 and I am really happy to see younger people reacting to the music I've loved for years. My own kids were never interested in my music, which I always felt a shame.
Regarding the little rant I had at the start of the video. None of it applies to the people who have subscribed, like the video and/or leave positive comments on my videos. I appreciate every single one of you that shows your support and help inform me on videos I am reacting to. I’ll continue to make great reaction videos for you guys and I hope you’ll all stick along for the journey. To the people who leave pathetic negative comments, you’re also helping me. Your comments help push my videos into the algorithm and helps grow the video even more! Anyway… I hope you guys enjoy this video and thank you so much for all the support so far!
Any music reactor will end up with those subscribers who enjoy his style and expertise, and if he is unsuccessful in acquiring subscribers, he will either learn from the constructive criticism that viewers provide, or he will close down. The marketplace (audience) will sort things out. Certainly there is no reason (other than boorishness) for anyone to write insulting comments--if what you watch does not appeal to you and you cannot bring yourself to suggest improvements in a polite manner, just move on. We older viewers should consider that, just maybe, our reason for watching reaction videos is not to listen to a treasured song for the umpteenth time, it is to see neophytes experience the music that we feel is timeless.
You're doing fine. Try not to obsess on the negativity.
I truly appreciate your honest reactions to music you have never heard before. There are always the "haters" who have nothing better to do than bring other people down. Keep going strong!!
Greetings from Miami, Florida! David Gilmour is the lead singer and lead guitarist. He is alive and I believe he is around 77 years of age now. Richard Wright (keyboards) passed away in England in 2008. Nick Mason is the older of the 2 drummers and he is also alive. Claudia Fontaine (1 of the 3 background singers) passed away in England in 2018.
How can i not sub to a young chap spreading the love of good music? Pass it on! ❤
For the ones in comments who complains, go touch grass dudes.. this is mollys channel, dont ruin it for those of us who are truly happy with reactions.
Molly, keep up the amazing work no matter what people say.
I totally love your reactions. Your comments bring back my first time hearing these songs. You are refreshing. Keep it up dude.
"Echoes" from Pompeii 1971. It has the nastiest groove in the whole of rock music.
Don't let complainers get to you. Pink Floyd had 3 stages, it took 3 days to set up and 2 days to take down so either they played 1 show a week or get more stages. They would play on one stage while they were tearing one down in another city they played in while building one in another city. They just Leap Frogged from one stage to another. I still have my Ticket Stub from this Tour. Sid Barret died decades ago.
best version as per usual at this pulse concert
Duuuuuuuuude. i love your reactions. Old guy here and so emotional watching young people experience for the first time what we have watched for almost 50 YEARS. See, we were cool once. You be You.
Today's Plastic Fantastic so-called artist can't hold a candle to artist like Pink Floyd. Today's artist wears shinny suits with scantily clad backup dancers piddling about behind them to hide the fact that they have no talent. David Gilmour wears jeans and a plain black t-shirt on stage and blows the audience away with their performance. It's fun to see younger people go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Great Reaction.
You do you, don't let it bother you. They can change the channel. Millions to choose from.
I've been a floydian since 1969 and enjoy your honest reactions. 3 original members at Pulse-94: David Gilmour guitar, Richard Wright keyboards (R.I.P.), Nick Mason drums. Syd Barret had to quit in -69 due to mental illness, Roger Waters went solo after The Wall and Final Cut, still going strong.
A good advice: Try out "Echoes" live Pompeii part 1&2, 1972. Then listen to the whole album "Dark Side of the Moon" (-74) in two parts, were the second starts with "Money". -That's a nice beginning... Another good advice: When you pause the video, wind back five-ten seconds before you start over again, so we don't miss a cord! Good luck and enjoy both lyrics and soundscapes, you won't regret!
Peace out from Janist in norwegian woodlands.
One of the great things about Pink Floyd is they know how to pace a concert and use. Nothing is rushed, it's all precise and professional. A class act from start to finish.
Someone once commented that David Gilmour's second guitar solo on Comfortably Numb is mankind's greatest achievement. This solo from Sorrow ranks up there with it.
I'm an old man (a 73 year old fart, if you will), and I really like your reactions. I don't think your pauses are intrusive because I've already heard the song(s) 1000 times before you were born, so it makes no nevermind to me. Besides, your pauses are short and to the point. I kinda figure that if one wants to see/listen to a particular song then perhaps one should actaually LOOK FOR THE SONG OR VIDEO AND LISTEN TO IT! What I appreciate, though, is the way you really LISTEN to the tune, to actually get what it's about. Don't worry about the 'old man' comments, please. Do just what you're doing and you will go far, young man. You have my blessing, LOL! Rock on...............
Thank you for the kind comment. I’m really glad you enjoy my content! Thanks for watching!
From a 64 year old, sooooo glad the younger folks recognize this epic band. 😎. Rock on, brother. Peace ✌️
The difference between old and new music is talent and respect for the audience.
Most new music "artists " can't sing or play any instruments.
It shows.
Don’t let the haters get to you. Care on and have fun learning from my generation of music. The best music ever and forever
Hey mate, don't worry about the negative comments. You do you and its all good. Great reactions.
62 here, ignore the haters, it’s great seeing younger people discovering great music so the legend continues. Imagine being there, the guitar fills the arena, intense, raw, you feel it in your very soul. We were so lucky.
Great reaction, man. It’s your channel, so do whatever you want. If nobody tunes in, then maybe you need to fine tune things, but so far, I think you’re doing well. Keep up the good work and have some fun in the process.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I'm 69 yo and I admire our youth especially for the first time reactions. Your feedback/takeaway is priceless. I'm excited for you that our gen had great rock n roll your journey is important. Personally attended over 30 of Floyd's live shows. The top drawer for me was Roger Waters Pink Floyd Live In Berlin tearing down that piece of The Wall was historical.
From a guy who got to see Floyd on this tour, a metal guy. This was the BEST SHOW. I have EVER seen in my life. I have seen and worked hundreds! No joke. BTW eff them whining fools.
70 year old here. Like others have said, do what works for you! I've subscribed and enjoy your reactions! Love watching younger folks be blown away by music I've loved since I was younger than you!
Watching you geek out on all these incredible bands make me so happy for you and it brings me back to being a kid ❤❤❤
Yeah, thanx to the others before me, who already said it. I'm here to relive my first Floyd experiences. Discovered them off of a dog urine stained cassette on the floor of my buddie's dad's pinball game room. They left it there and called it "Pink Piss" lol. I was 11 then, 49 now. Enjoy your journey anyway you wanna ride on it, and thanks for letting us ride along 😊
The great David Gilmour lead vocalist and guitarist of Pink Floyd is alive and well and enjoying retirement. last toured in 2016 as a solo act performing many of Pink Floyd's greatest songs along with his own solo stuff. The original lead singer and co-founder of the band was Syd Barrett. Syd went a little funny in the head and was dropped from the band after their first album. However his ghost remained with them throughout their career, often alluding to him in song and concepts of their most celebrated albums. Give a listen to "Brain-damaged/Eclipse" studio version from one of the great concept albums of all time "Dark Side of the Moon" to hear an example . It's also among the biggest selling albums of all time. Good job. 👍
Pay no mind to the people complaining. The positive people enjoy seeing younger generations enjoy the music we grew up listening to. Give Dogs a listen to, it is outstanding!
Also want to say I enjoy watching a younger person like yourself see this historical quality music and realizing it is something special. Keep going ! You’re doing great for a newcomer to Pink Floyd 😊
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour 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'm 64 and I appreciate what it is you do as well as your observations. When younger people such as yourself experience music form my earlier days for the first time and I see the joy it brings to you, it reminds me of the first time I experienced the music and the joy I felt. Don't take any sh!t from anyone and keep working.
I Agree w/the other 60 +'s lol, we watch to see the new generations reactions....saw my first PF concert in 77'( ANIMALS).
Hey, I don't expect people of your age to be Pink Floyd fans. Heck learning is the fun of it. Enjoy it. You will learn. Richard Wright, the older keyboard player is the one who passed away. He is missed.
this song and Run like hell were almost the best songs on the night, do run like hell' u will still enjoy it, even though u may not no the context of it. its basically the best version of the song from this concert.
Let’s goooooooo. My fav live song
Every person who hears Pink Floyd for the first time, says the same thing. I’ve got to hear more ; this music speaks to my soul. 50+ years later, it still does for me.
Cheers !!❤❤
That was an awesome reaction 👍. Can't wait to watch you react to more pink floyd. It's an awesome rabbit hole
It makes me very happy to see young people discovering this great music from a great era long gone. She is far too good to be forgotten. "one of these days", "run like hell", "Time", "high hopes" are songs from the Pulse concert that you will definitely like.
On the turning away, is another great song!
My husband and I took our 12 and 14 year old sons to this in Washington D.C. open air arena. They rerouted air traffic because of the laser show. It was an unbelievable concert. The boys still listen to Floyd and so do I at 70.
I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
First time seeing them was 1971. Have seen them 4 more times since. I have seen the great ones from Hendrix, Airplane and such. These guys where the best band bar none. These guys take you on an emotional journey every song. No one comes close .
I’m a 61 years young woman and I love your reactions. When I want to listen to Pink Floyd I put the vinyls and what a ride it is. Keep reacting and be yourself. We are here to see how their music affects you. Sorry for my English because it’s not my native language. All the best to you❤
I was 18 at tht concert. You would love it.
Don’t worry about haters. You are young and didn’t grow up with these older bands. One thing is never pause a David Gilmore solo. That’s it. Enjoy yourself!😎
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
I was 22 when I saw this tour. I remember it like it was yesterday, a life altering experience.
Enjoy your journey 🤜🤛
Glad you have found pink floyd I found them in the 70s
aahhhh, so you're the one.
I'm 68 and loving the Floyd since I was 11. You enjoy Pink Floyd exactly how you want mate. Sod the haters. Love and peace from Wales dude.
As someone who grew up listening to Pink Floyd, I love seeing a young man discovering them and falling in love with their music as much as I did. I want to hear what you think and feel about them, so ignore the people who don't seem to get what a "reaction" is supposed to be about. Great reaction!
As a first time listener to any PF song, it’s next to impossible to know exactly when any brilliant moment happens. That’s why we listen to each song over, and over, and over. Don’t sweat the ass-hats. Welcome to the machine, enjoy the journey.
well said!
Pink Floyd - On the turning away ( live remastered) a must dude a must
I'm new here AND I'm one of the older guys, but I love your reaction. Great to hear the younger generation listening to and appreciating these classic rock masterpieces! Your Pink Floyd journey has just begun I suspect in which case I envy you hearing this music for the first time written and performed by aliens from another world. I saw them live in January 1970 at Farnborough Technical College (as it was called then). Never got into them until later on in life and now they are my favourite band of all time with 'Comfortably Numb' being my favourite song of all time!
May I suggest another truly amazing number from this concert called 'Keep Talking' which features the famous physicist Professor Stephen Hawking - terrific number.
i'm just so glad youngsters are wrapping their sorry little heads around Floyd.... there's hope yet , maybe.
You are not old
like me (65) just a littlebit older boy
who has been around alittle longer !
❤️ 😎
@@hanspettersson504 - ssh!, don't tell anyone, but I've just turned 74. 😊
Richard Wright the keyboardist passed away about 10 years ago.
I am in tears, absolute tears, you are right, it is heavenly.
MollyBoy, you have a good reaction style and don't let negative comments affect it. You don't want to change what is you to please someone...it serves no purpose. Your a young man who wants to experience different types of music and good on you. Keep on doing what your doing and you will be rewarded for your efforts. Might I suggest you take a chance and get into some Led Zeppelin...you will love them...try "You Shook Me"..studio version for starters. Good day from CANADA .
It's great to see young people enjoying my favorite music. Rock on!
It is another singer. To be honest the singer they are referring to was long gone by time Pink Floyd became Pink Floyd. He was on the first album which is just acid rock
Don’t ever let Pink Floyd go in one ear and out the other! Let it go in both ears, keep it and never let it go!😎
I was blessed to see him perform this last week in Madison Square Garden in NYC. I’m still buzzed by it.
Good luck on your journey mate. Don't let the haters get to you. Real fans want to see you pause the song, chat about it, rewind a bit and keep going. we've all heard these songs thousands of times. Have fun with it. The main this is don't talk over the song, just pause it!
I appreciate you taking the time to view Pink Floyd. You're going to enjoy the ride!
Great reaction! You've got my sub.
You need to react to all songs from PULSE concert (version Restored and Re-edited). React to song On The Turning Away Live too (from Delicate Sound of Thunder concert)
Pink Floyd is my favorite band. I was fortunate enough to see them live in 1988 and 1995 (Pulse). David Gilmour is a legend for his guitar work. Not a lot of crazy fast riffs but he could make a guitar sing like no other. And like others said, he did not die. The keyboardist/singer Richard Wright passed away unfortunately.
If you ever do get a chance to see Pink Floyd, live and concert, set as far back as you can, because the Lightshow is part of the best slideshow in the world!
If anything like me you get shivers with goose bumps followed by tears you can't stop
You’re fine my man, fuck ‘em, your reaction channel is great! You do you and listen to, enjoy and research the older bands who were the founders of rock, metal and prog.
You have to experience them live. They are so good. The light show stays with you the music rings in your ears.
Pretty much any song from Pulse is gold. High Hopes and Keep Talking are two more excellent examples of “newer” Pink Floyd songs from the same post Roger Waters era as Sorrow.
I turned 70 a week ago and still feel like I'm 20 something. My generation had the greatest music ever from Sinatra to Nirvana. I love seeing younger generations discovering some of the greatest music ever. Keep on learning the music as well as the history of the bands. 15:33
This is the 2nd Greatest Live Guitar Solo... Only because #1 is later in the show. I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed.
This whole concert from beginning to end is so worth the time! Love your reactions! Heavenly is right...The Great Gig in the Sky from this concert is pure Heaven
Sorrow....very underrated song. Been one of my favorite PF songs since the day i saw it live.
I was blessed to see them on that tour. Just turned 15. Hands down. Forever the best show ill ever see!
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
This is so false.
Buena reaccion.
Es muy bueno ver que la gente joven descubre a Pink Floyd...
Para muchos de nosotros es la mejor banda de rock de la historia.
Saludos
Don't worry about negative comments, mate! No worries!! You just aren't familiar with the band and are just starting to check it out. There will always be assholes and just ignore them. :) Keep rocking on!
You should do the entire concert. Pink Floyd albums and concerts really need to be listened to in their entirety to fully appreciate the genius of the artists. This concert was probably the best ever when it comes to guitar solos.
