It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.
@@AceofBadeReacts Bocogz is right. It's a big pink diamond - Pink in the Wall was partly based on Syd - and Syd was PF's crazy diamond (Shine On You Crazy Diamond). The ball opens to reveal PF''s crazy diamond shines on.
As one who was at that concert I can promise you it was a "real" concert and in no way a documentary. Guy Pratt's guitar you asked about is (I believe) a headless Status Graphite 4 bass. David's solo in this video is actually edited, there is about 1 minute chopped just before the mirror ball appears, personally I like it better like this! The only people on stage who don't sing are the two drummers so that's 5 (6 in some songs) plus the 3 backing singers.
I was just reading off Google. More accurately what Apple had it listed as on Google. Documentary/Musical. I also found out this concert was re-released in 2019 with a lot of it cut out so they could put it on TV (only 90 minutes total)
I had the opportunity to see this show on tour, and it was impressive, the best I've seen in my life (and I saw the biggest bands) and currently, despite technological and lighting advances, it remains unbeatable in my opinion. I can only describe it as impressive musicianship, superbly staged.
Only three people on stage are Pink Floyd... the three older gentlemen- David Gilmour lead vocals guitar, Richard Wright keyboards, Nick Mason drummer. Everyone else are touring backup musicians and singers to help them impeccably reproduce the extraordinary sonic experience of their studio albums. I saw the show at Soldier Field in Chicago (1994) and yes, it is a full multimedia, light and three-dimensional surround sound experience with sound and sound FX coming at you from all corners of the stadium. Even pyrotechnics are involved. The full overwhelming experience is something that simply cannot be fully captured on video. Check out "wish you were here" from this same concert.
I think anybody who was able to go to one of these concerts is very lucky. Thank you for the information. I do believe the Wish You Were Here reaction I did is from the same concert, but I could be wrong.
Hi, thanks, for this reaction! The P•U•L•S•E Concert wasn’t a documentary. Back in the day, artists like Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd put on three-hour concerts. P•U•L•S•E was actually the tour to support their last studio album, “The Division Bell”, packaged and released as “P•U•L•S•E” (the CD had a red LED that flashed, or ‘pulsed’.) Pink Floyd was a 4-piece band for much of its existence. By this point in their history, the original bassist had left. One drummer, one keyboardist, and the lead guitarist are original, the rest are tour support musicians and singers. PF was known throughout their history for their legendary light shows, and as it’s said, they blew out all the stops for this one, which they may have sensed would be their last tour together. And they surely went out on top. The disco ball has been a feature of PF shows since the ‘60’s. The story goes that an early critic said the band would never go anywhere, kids can’t dance to their music. So as a snarky response, PF included a disco ball for anyone who wanted to dance. Over the years it’s become a ‘thing’, to the point where, well……you saw it.
Thank you for the information. Maybe how I looked it up, Google gave some misinformation on what was actually happening. This is why I am glad the comment section exists
@@AceofBadeReactsNever use Google for info.......on the rare occasions that a truth makes it to the Google pages, give it just a few minutes to a few weeks, and it will be replaced by a pure nonsense of SOCIALIST lies.
To be fair, even when they were a 4 piece band, they often weren't. Claire Torry, Snowy White, Dick Parry...Hell, it's Roy Harper singing the vocals on Have a Cigar...
@@tommc3622 Well then, do you consider Steely Dan only a two-piece band? Everybody else on their albums were pick-ups. Or Yes, who always remained a 5-man band in the studio (not while on tour) but never released two albums back to back with the same line-up? What’s wrong with bands bringing in additional artists, in your mind?
Great reaction! The disco ball dates back to the very early days of Pink Floyd, when a music critic said the band would never amount to anything, because kids couldn't dance to their music. So, as a snarky response, the band started including a disco ball in their shows 'for anyone who wanted to dance'. Over the years it's transmogrified into.....well, this.
@@AceofBadeReacts I guess it's just as simple as turning a symbol of something into some ridiculous looking fish is the whole of the gag. Just a good natured jab. I can't think of a specific reference to a squid per se, except for the fact that Monty Python; the (famous British comedy troupe) thought squids were funny in name and appearance.
This remains one of the best live performances. One of the reasons it is so long as they performed Dark Side of the Moon along with more of their contemporary catalogue. This is 30 years old, pretty much. The band was always cutting edge both musically and with respect to the care they put into live performances. I was lucky to see them live 2x back in the day. Still memorable to this day. They are musicians--not rock stars--playing at the height of their powers. Consider watching the entire show--not a bad tune, plus the added feature of DSOTM.
My friends dad designed the sound system for that tour. He was the sound engineer for Allman Brothers and jimi carter and about 10 more big bands. He had a closet of real to reals that were one of a kind from hundreds of shows. We listened to them. Allman Brothers at the Ludlow garage was one of them. It was rediscovered in the late 80's.
its a standard Fender Stratocaster, with the pickups changed and Gilmour had a modification to have more combinations of which pick up is used , just 1 all 3 and all other variations.. His Black Strat is famous as he used it on most of the 70's albums recored, he sold it at Auction along with 100/200 other guitars cant remember exactly how many. It reached a record price for Any Guitar and probably most other instruments selling for $3,000,000. All the proceeds of the auction went to charity. This is the Cherry Red Stratocaster
Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. All in all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people and an initial investment of US$4 million plus US$25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average audience of 45,000.
@@AceofBadeReacts yeah the were running 2, 747's and a Russian Antanov cargo heavy lift plane for the intercontinental transfers it was a major logistics effort.
The whole damn concert is like that. I caught it by accident on TV after midnight and I couldn't turn it off (even though I had to work next day). The lightshow was what grabbed me, then the music. I became a Pink Floyd addict overnight. The whole thing is a stunning experience, I don't think anyone's beaten it in the 30 years since.
Great reaction to this legendary performance!! I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. There were 47,000 fans and I had 18th row seats on the floor!!! In the first half of the show they played several songs from The Division Bell and other popular songs. In the second set they played the entire album of Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish, and more songs. "Comfortably Numb" was the last song of set two before the encore of "Run Like Hell" (which you should definitely check out)!! Also highly recommend checking out "High Hopes" from this same Pulse concert!! Was also fortunate to have seen them live in Austin in 1987. Again, great reaction!!!
The core of PF are traditionally four guys who do all the writing, creation and studio recordings but the live touring membership is about eight to ten members. David Gilmour (lead vocals and guitar), Richard Wright (older gent on keyboards) and Nick Mason (drums) are the only OG members on the stage. Rodger Waters who had since split from the band (bass and vocals) was the singer of the verses that the three were singing un unison in this show, oh and who was the main concept /song writer of the album The Wall which this song is from. Rodger is out doing is own thing and performing live Pink Floyd songs with His band but he does his shows as complete albums usually.
@@AceofBadeReacts 70s for sure. The 70s is when four of their biggest albums were released: "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here", " Animals", and "The Wall"... masterpieces all!! "Meddle" the album in which they found their direction and sound, was also released in the early seventies. It features the nearly 24 minute epic classic "Echoes". You must find some time to do that one as well.
@@flubblert 24 minutes sounds like a bit of a commitment. Something like that would most likely end up being a 45 minute video. Maybe once the channel reaches a certain subscriber count, especially since Pink Floyd videos get copyright claimed
Every song Pink Floyd does in this concert is at least equivalent to any other bands Grand finale!! I can say that because I've seen Pink Floyd four times in three different decades and I've seen about 100 concert with every group from ACDC to Led Zeppelin and in between alphabetically!! Nobody puts on a better show than Floyd!! They place speakers on both sides of the audience behind the audience above the audience and on the stage and basically create a giant set of headphones for the people watching the concert!! You are immersed inside of music!! You can feel the notes coursing through your body when they play!!
They knew how to do a performance correctly, not just put on a show from what I can tell. That's really awesome you were able to check out as many bands as you did
Cool reaction x I managed to see them on this tour in Rotterdam in 94. Best concert ever in my opinion. This venue is Earls Court in London where they sold out 14 nights @ 22,000 people. Can't go wrong with any song from Pulse
When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD. The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt) 😎 Whatever it cost to go to this concert, it was worth it.🤑 Happy belated 4/20+
That was the Best Experience of my Life, Watching Pink Floyd Live 3 and Half Hours minus a 45 minute break. And I seen that Concert in Ohio State Stadium 🏟️ with over 150 Thousand People Easy Probably closer to 200 Thousand People. College kids were buying all the Ticket stubs for 5 bucks and selling them outside for who knows how much they had to pay??? It's a Religious Experience watching them play Live. If you ever do a Pink Floyd song can't go wrong with the Live Version, nothing else comes close to David Gilmore and his Guitar crying in Song.
Got to watch Sorrow from pulse also Money, US And Them, Time all from pulse.then finish off with Run Like Hell which they finished their pulse concert with.
the disco ball, i assuming, is the drug the doctors prescribed (see the lyrics and the story behind the song, found by e.g. Wikipedia). Pulse was maybe the first concert with a computer controlled light show. As so often, Pink Floyd looooved to extend the boundaries of their music for the audience. Think about it: the really great albums where created in the time of 4- and 8-Track sound recording. Today it would be easy to create sounds like the once of Dark Side etc. But in those days it was a sheer miracle and the will to create something outstanding without looking on the schedules todays record companies set for bands... Just a short not for the younger generations: in those time, music was created on the length of 3.5 minutes to fit on a single record; they had a chance to be played on radio stations - some bands really didn't care about that (like Pink Floyd, Queens Bohemian Rhapsody and a few more).
Considering that every single light (of hundreds) must have been individually controlled in direction (in three dimensions) plus its full range of colours, that must have been one hell of a computer program running the whole thing.
Only Dave and Roger sing on the studio version. Dave's vocals are doubletracked in parts, and so doing it live they replicate it with one backup singer singing along with Dave. With Roger's studio part they have 3 singers harmonising live as Roger isn't in the band anymore. I think they found it difficult to replicate Roger's part just with one singer as it's a character and slightly menacing. Roger isn't the greatest singer but he was definitely unique and knew how to imbue his lyrics with a lot of emotion so he was hard to replace in that respect.
@@AceofBadeReacts The diamond is about Syd Barret the founder of PF who suffered from schizophrenia, it is not known if it was genetic or due to some illicit substance he consumed, since then PF pays tribute to him in his concerts, one of PF's most famous albums called Wish you were here is dedicated to Syd Barrett
@@AceofBadeReacts Yes, very sad, one day the band members decided to no longer go through Syd since he stopped collaborating on stage. Surprisingly, one day when they were recording, Syd arrived at the studio but no one recognized him since he was overweight and had a shaved head and eyebrows, and the boys couldn't help but cry when they saw Syd in those conditions. The most iconic song dedicated to Syd is called Shine on You Crazy Diamond, I hope you listen to it. Thank you for reading. Bye 😉😉
PF made their live shows as close or more than the studio, thus two keyboards, 2 guitars, a drummer and a percussion. You hardly ever see anyone doing that, for example LedZep hardly ever had session players to play the back parts that Page did. There’s not a bad song in the whole concert
@@AceofBadeReacts I saw a vid of someone who had hung a small tree like yours from the ceiling... and the cat keeps jumping at it but to no avail... lol
With the studio version you just have Rodger Waters the brilliant Lyricist and basis for Floyd who's no longer with them singing the part that sounds like a doctor talking to patient. Then you have David Gilmour the lead guitarist lead singer singing the part he's doing during this concert that he also sings on the album.
@@AceofBadeReacts yeah, they've had a decades-long rift. They did reunite the classic lineup one final time for Live 8 in 2005, and played a number of their songs, including a great version of 'Comfortably Numb.' The amazing thing about watching it is that by that time, they hadn't performed together for 24 years and sounded amazing. I heard that the rehearsals for Live 8 were challenging, because David wanted to do certain songs and Roger wanted to do other songs. So, the toxic dynamic was there, but they put it aside for the performance. It was the last time they performed together. The keyboardist, Richard Wright, sadly passed away in 2008. I was fortunate to see David Gilmour tour as a solo artist in 2016, when he also performed many classic Pink Floyd songs. In case you ever want to listen to a 70-year-old Gilmour do what he does best, 'Comfortably Numb', Live in Pompeii, 2016 is worth a listen.
@@sarastromseth-troy3323 Yeah People said Pompeii is also a fantastic concert. I'll probably check out 1 or 2 after I knock out a couple more from Pulse. That's a shame egos got in the way.
@@johnnyringo1949 We'll just have to wait and see. Although you can at least get a hint as to what is being reacted to Friday from the Community tab on the channel
A great concert and a great performance, but they are not "back-up" singers they are "backing" singers, sadly I lived within 20 minutes or so train ride from Earls Court but missed this performance, friends went though and were quite quiet for days, unable to describe the concert.
For the life of me I could not think of what the word was called so I went with back-up singers and I knew it wasn't right. Thank you for correcting me. It sounds like you were so close, yet so far away
@@AceofBadeReacts I think over time I regret it more and more! Earls Court is just a few miles from Battersea Power Station which appears on the sleeve of "Animals". The whole Pulse performance is amazing, very talented musicians and absolutely no expense spared to make the show spectacular.
Hi Ace! "i'm doing my best" That is all ANY one can do **PixieHugz&LuvzToYou** ya are doing great! Except ha ya SO need a pic up on your wall behind ya of **Led Zeppelin** or even JUST **MyJimmyPageGeniusWizardBabe** heh & IF i had ANY "do re mi" I would send ya one or the "do re mi" for one BUT alas i am not in a situation of having any extra "do re mi" on me so since that is not possible instead i will just make a song suggestion (think i might have asked for this one before not sure) BUT if ya do decide to do it then ya will see where the "do re mi" comes from at least heh (unless course ya already figured it out & IF so still would luv for ya to do the song heh) k so the band is **Humble Pie** song is **Black Coffee** on "The Old Grey Whistle Test" **Thanx** for your time & consideration! **PixieTwirls**
You know, I do have a bunch of vinyls framed and one of them is my favorite Zeppelin album, II. I could hang them above the shelves. I haven't decided yet. I don't remember seeing that request, but I can add it to the list
yeah, well I like that you discovered arguable the the best song, by pink floyd, but that fact ur making money through views, like and and comments, and not knowing how many members are actually in original PF, or what a headless bass is, or that the guy playing it is Guy Pratt, and a session musician who played with them in live shows and on album after Roger Waters left... The Drummer, nick mason, the Keyboardist Rick Rick and David gilmour are the original members of pink floyd and they were likely to have play almost everything on the original, except that background vocals. They've created the this incredible experience .... what are you actually adding to the experience ? absolutely nothing, you've done zero research and asking people for comments for likes, subscribe and comments .....
And I appreciate your comment, but what you are asking for is a video essay not a reaction. And for the record. I don't get to make any money off Pink Floyd. They have copyright claimed both videos, making them ineligible for monetization, which is unfortunate, but it is what it is. And what I'm learning through this is not only through the song and performance itself, but also through the comments. While I wasn't old enough or lucky enough to actually go to this performance because it was in 1994 and I was barely old enough to comprehend music beyond Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, I am getting what is probably considered the next best thing, which isn't remotely close to actually being there but it's all I have as an option
That, pauljames, was a really mean comment. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ace's reaction to the lightshow - and the guitar solo. It's nice seeing someone else discover PF for themselves. If you don't think Ace is adding to your experience, go watch some other 'reaction' video, there's plenty of them out there.

They knew how to do a performance correctly, not just put on a show from what I can tell. That's really awesome you were able to check out as many bands as you did
Cool reaction x I managed to see them on this tour in Rotterdam in 94. Best concert ever in my opinion. This venue is Earls Court in London where they sold out 14 nights @ 22,000 people. Can't go wrong with any song from Pulse
I think anybody who was lucky to go to this concert was lucky
Hey, those lights do resemble embers, which only makes sense since PF is 🔥
Ok so I am not the only one who thought that
Sorrow, same concert. Great lasers. Money and Great Gig. Echos, Pompeii, 1971.
Based on everybody's response I think Sorrow is probably going to be the next Pink Floyd reaction
When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD.
The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt) 😎
Whatever it cost to go to this concert, it was worth it.🤑
Happy belated 4/20+
haha fair enough
That was the Best Experience of my Life, Watching Pink Floyd Live 3 and Half Hours minus a 45 minute break. And I seen that Concert in Ohio State Stadium 🏟️ with over 150 Thousand People Easy Probably closer to 200 Thousand People. College kids were buying all the Ticket stubs for 5 bucks and selling them outside for who knows how much they had to pay??? It's a Religious Experience watching them play Live. If you ever do a Pink Floyd song can't go wrong with the Live Version, nothing else comes close to David Gilmore and his Guitar crying in Song.
I've been enjoying this concert so far. There's another reaction I recorded this week that I still need to edit, too
Got to watch Sorrow from pulse also Money, US And Them, Time all from pulse.then finish off with Run Like Hell which they finished their pulse concert with.
For sure. I'm pretty sure most of Pulse is on the list now and it looks like Sorrow is the next one to check out
the disco ball, i assuming, is the drug the doctors prescribed (see the lyrics and the story behind the song, found by e.g. Wikipedia). Pulse was maybe the first concert with a computer controlled light show. As so often, Pink Floyd looooved to extend the boundaries of their music for the audience. Think about it: the really great albums where created in the time of 4- and 8-Track sound recording. Today it would be easy to create sounds like the once of Dark Side etc. But in those days it was a sheer miracle and the will to create something outstanding without looking on the schedules todays record companies set for bands...
Just a short not for the younger generations: in those time, music was created on the length of 3.5 minutes to fit on a single record; they had a chance to be played on radio stations - some bands really didn't care about that (like Pink Floyd, Queens Bohemian Rhapsody and a few more).
Yeah bands like Pink Floyd and The Who were pioneers in showmanship, but Pink Floyd took it 2 steps further with the light shows
Considering that every single light (of hundreds) must have been individually controlled in direction (in three dimensions) plus its full range of colours, that must have been one hell of a computer program running the whole thing.
The PULSE show was in 1994 but the song was from 1979
great reaction dude, many suggestions come to mind but you should definitely check our Sorrow from the Pulse concert.
Thank you. That one is on the list
Only Dave and Roger sing on the studio version. Dave's vocals are doubletracked in parts, and so doing it live they replicate it with one backup singer singing along with Dave. With Roger's studio part they have 3 singers harmonising live as Roger isn't in the band anymore. I think they found it difficult to replicate Roger's part just with one singer as it's a character and slightly menacing. Roger isn't the greatest singer but he was definitely unique and knew how to imbue his lyrics with a lot of emotion so he was hard to replace in that respect.
I see. Interesting. Thank you for the information.
The big crystal ball opens and inside the diamond is shinning (Syd Barret)
Yeah there was something shining in there
@@AceofBadeReacts The diamond is about Syd Barret the founder of PF who suffered from schizophrenia, it is not known if it was genetic or due to some illicit substance he consumed, since then PF pays tribute to him in his concerts, one of PF's most famous albums called Wish you were here is dedicated to Syd Barrett
@@AngyPérez-t7q Oh wow. That's awesome. And sad that he suffered from it.
@@AceofBadeReacts Yes, very sad, one day the band members decided to no longer go through Syd since he stopped collaborating on stage. Surprisingly, one day when they were recording, Syd arrived at the studio but no one recognized him since he was overweight and had a shaved head and eyebrows, and the boys couldn't help but cry when they saw Syd in those conditions. The most iconic song dedicated to Syd is called Shine on You Crazy Diamond, I hope you listen to it. Thank you for reading. Bye 😉😉
PF made their live shows as close or more than the studio, thus two keyboards, 2 guitars, a drummer and a percussion. You hardly ever see anyone doing that, for example LedZep hardly ever had session players to play the back parts that Page did. There’s not a bad song in the whole concert
Reading through the comments on both Pink Floyd reactions, I am starting to understand that
Hey, Charlie Brown called, he want's his Christmas tree back! ;-]
haha I have cats and this is my first tree. I didn't know how they would react to it
@@AceofBadeReacts I saw a vid of someone who had hung a small tree like yours from the ceiling... and the cat keeps jumping at it but to no avail... lol
@@robertcartier5088 that's funny. Well they didn't do anything to this tree, so maybe next year I can get one taller than 4 ft tall
Pink Floyd takes you on a journey….
That they did
try "high hopes "from the same concert
That one is on the list
you got to check out ON THE TURNING AWAY
I'll add it to the list
No... that's David harmonizing with the guitar. Note perfect... seen him do it a couple times live back in the 70s.
That's so cool he can do that
With the studio version you just have Rodger Waters the brilliant Lyricist and basis for Floyd who's no longer with them singing the part that sounds like a doctor talking to patient. Then you have David Gilmour the lead guitarist lead singer singing the part he's doing during this concert that he also sings on the album.
From what I understand Roger Waters and David Gilmour didn't really get along?
@@AceofBadeReacts yeah, they've had a decades-long rift. They did reunite the classic lineup one final time for Live 8 in 2005, and played a number of their songs, including a great version of 'Comfortably Numb.' The amazing thing about watching it is that by that time, they hadn't performed together for 24 years and sounded amazing. I heard that the rehearsals for Live 8 were challenging, because David wanted to do certain songs and Roger wanted to do other songs. So, the toxic dynamic was there, but they put it aside for the performance. It was the last time they performed together. The keyboardist, Richard Wright, sadly passed away in 2008. I was fortunate to see David Gilmour tour as a solo artist in 2016, when he also performed many classic Pink Floyd songs. In case you ever want to listen to a 70-year-old Gilmour do what he does best, 'Comfortably Numb', Live in Pompeii, 2016 is worth a listen.
@@sarastromseth-troy3323 Yeah People said Pompeii is also a fantastic concert. I'll probably check out 1 or 2 after I knock out a couple more from Pulse. That's a shame egos got in the way.
Watch Sorrow from pulse concert Run Like Hell, Time all from pulse concert great reaction!
They are on the list. I think someone pretty much suggested the entire concert or at least most of it
Greatest guitar solo ever
It's phenomenal, but there might be a better guitar solo coming out on Friday's reaction
@@AceofBadeReacts If you mean the PF Pulse Sorrow solos, that’s a discussion worth having.
@@johnnyringo1949 We'll just have to wait and see. Although you can at least get a hint as to what is being reacted to Friday from the Community tab on the channel
I was at this gig.
Best track is sorrow. Check it out. Awesome
That one is on the list
A great concert and a great performance, but they are not "back-up" singers they are "backing" singers, sadly I lived within 20 minutes or so train ride from Earls Court but missed this performance, friends went though and were quite quiet for days, unable to describe the concert.
For the life of me I could not think of what the word was called so I went with back-up singers and I knew it wasn't right. Thank you for correcting me. It sounds like you were so close, yet so far away
@@AceofBadeReacts I think over time I regret it more and more! Earls Court is just a few miles from Battersea Power Station which appears on the sleeve of "Animals". The whole Pulse performance is amazing, very talented musicians and absolutely no expense spared to make the show spectacular.
Just a concert filmed. Not a documentary
In my defense I was reading off what Google said
I believe they sold out Earl's Court 18 straight nights after doing a world tour with this show!
That's absolutely insane
Please watch Learning To Fly from the same concert.
I'll add it to the list
I've heard it called a travel bass
Ok I think I understand between that and another comment
Rockumentaries
I really like that term
❤😊
Hi Ace! "i'm doing my best" That is all ANY one can do **PixieHugz&LuvzToYou** ya are doing great! Except ha ya SO need a pic up on your wall behind ya of **Led Zeppelin** or even JUST **MyJimmyPageGeniusWizardBabe** heh & IF i had ANY "do re mi" I would send ya one or the "do re mi" for one BUT alas i am not in a situation of having any extra "do re mi" on me so since that is not possible instead i will just make a song suggestion (think i might have asked for this one before not sure) BUT if ya do decide to do it then ya will see where the "do re mi" comes from at least heh (unless course ya already figured it out & IF so still would luv for ya to do the song heh) k so the band is **Humble Pie** song is **Black Coffee** on "The Old Grey Whistle Test" **Thanx** for your time & consideration! **PixieTwirls**
You know, I do have a bunch of vinyls framed and one of them is my favorite Zeppelin album, II. I could hang them above the shelves. I haven't decided yet. I don't remember seeing that request, but I can add it to the list
The remastered version you are watching doesnt show the true greatness of the lightshow... just my humble bumble opinion
Really? I thought it was very well done, so that means the original is just that much better?
I think the disco ball morphs into a lotus representing new life.
That's pretty cool
Don't understand why you were bobbing your head 3 times faster than the tempo of the song.
I'm 3 bobble heads in a trench coat
No point talking while the music is playing because we can NOT hear you!
We're aware of that. It's more for just us rather than the viewers
Ah right! Bummer, it kind of hides your full reaction then doesn't it?@@AceofBadeReacts
@@gbsailing9436 Maybe, but it also helps me keep that thought for when I pause to discuss if I say something out loud. It's just how my brain works
yeah, well I like that you discovered arguable the the best song, by pink floyd, but that fact ur making money through views, like and and comments, and not knowing how many members are actually in original PF, or what a headless bass is, or that the guy playing it is Guy Pratt, and a session musician who played with them in live shows and on album after Roger Waters left... The Drummer, nick mason, the Keyboardist Rick Rick and David gilmour are the original members of pink floyd and they were likely to have play almost everything on the original, except that background vocals. They've created the this incredible experience .... what are you actually adding to the experience ? absolutely nothing, you've done zero research and asking people for comments for likes, subscribe and comments .....
And I appreciate your comment, but what you are asking for is a video essay not a reaction. And for the record. I don't get to make any money off Pink Floyd. They have copyright claimed both videos, making them ineligible for monetization, which is unfortunate, but it is what it is. And what I'm learning through this is not only through the song and performance itself, but also through the comments. While I wasn't old enough or lucky enough to actually go to this performance because it was in 1994 and I was barely old enough to comprehend music beyond Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, I am getting what is probably considered the next best thing, which isn't remotely close to actually being there but it's all I have as an option
That, pauljames, was a really mean comment. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ace's reaction to the lightshow - and the guitar solo. It's nice seeing someone else discover PF for themselves. If you don't think Ace is adding to your experience, go watch some other 'reaction' video, there's plenty of them out there.
