You obviously love "Comfortably Numb". If you want to hear him him doing this a few laters later, check him up on his tour in S.America. His hair is a bit grayer, and he has put on some fat around his stomach, but he plays like ever before. The best part was also the participation of the young crowd. Kids born ever before their parents were born when this came out. They can't speak muck English, (Portuguese) but they knew all the lyrics.

Magnificent ..I really liked the smile the bassist and Gilmour exchanged at the end of the song...it was like, "yeah we just killed that" and absolutely not in a ego trip kind of way
When I first viewed this concert (on dvd) many years ago I felt that the opening song (Shine On ...) was the most amazing live performance of a song I had ever seen - until they played the next song (High Hopes), and then the one after that, and on and on. Truly the greatest live music concert every filmed and, most likely, ever performed.
You forgot Richard Wright who is the main keyboardist on stage. He was one of the four originals alongside Roger Waters and Syd Barrett (later replaced by David Gilmour).
One of their sound engineers friend of mine. He said they had like 52 semi's full of equipment and needed 2 with generators to give them the power they needed. Saw the concert twice, never seen so many speakers at a concert. The sound quality was unbelievable. A total experience and EVERYONE came out blown away!
You were talking about the equipment used on this tour, so here are some numbers: 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, money from 1994. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average 45,000 audience.
I was lucky enough to see this concert on the Division Bell tour…even had VIP seats 6 rows from the front. There’s a joke about the lasers & lights on this tour. Lighting crew: “What’s our budget?” Pink Floyd: “Yes!”
Great to see a "reaction" video that isn't just listening to music and say that you like/dislike and end it there. The discussion at the middle/end was what made me drop a like. Keep it up
One of the best rock concerts ever recorded in it's entirety for posterity. Check out Run Like Hell, High Hopes, or One Of These Days from this concert. All impeccable! Check out Dogs from their album Animals. My favorite. P.S. Nobody can bend a note like David Gilmour!
Gilmour is the main or predominant vocalist on many of their most noted songs... including "Comfortably Numb" which you already watched. (Maybe you should watch it again? lol) His voice is nearly as iconic in the world of Rock as his guitar. Check out "Wish You Were Here" from Pulse next. And yes, that gong is for "High Hopes" another highly recommended suggestion from this concert!!
We knew it was Gilmore who sang comfortably numb. But I was trying to say at that part that because we are literally learning the names, albums, years and instruments played by each band member in about 10 of the greatest bands ever that sometimes it is overwhelming and shorts circuits our minds lol. Or to be more scientific we had a brain fart.
@@reactioninaction7415 ,that's how we felt as teenager in the 70's, with all these amazing bands coming at us all at once and l surely took advantage of it and went to as many concerts as l could, especially when the tickets were only $5,$6 and 7 dollars back then 🤟
Great reaction, Sorrow is from the Album A Momentary Lapse of Reason written by David Gilmour, Nick Mason drummer who’s sitting down is the original member with PF. If you want more solo guitar by David check out the video David Gilmour - Fat Old Sun Live in Gdańsk
This is the 3rd Pink Floyd Pulse reaction of yours that I've watched and totally enjoyed! Your comments and enthusiasm is right on point with mine. I appreciate all the big and small things you respond to. Great!! Sorry I haven't learned your names yet but I love when the younger guy puts on his sunglasses 😎! Great how you two connect. Looking forward to following you 2 on your Pink Floyd Pulse journey. I suggest you get yourselves the Pulse dvd set. Disc 2 is the entire Dark Side of the Moon album with the 3 encore performances. Have fun with your guitars! To quote another commenter- "Guitars want David Gilmore for Christmas ".!!
This is a AAA class production. Gilmour, Mason and wright have all been playing and producing music together for decades at this point. Total familiarity between them on the instrumentals. This work is just phenomenal! One gets sucked in and then totally mesmerized on that extended solo toward the end. Pure bliss! Nothing like it before or since. Great reaction!!
Virtuoso playing by Gilmour, but let's not forget the main drummer, Nick Mason, who is the only band member to appear on every single PF album, and Rick Wright, the keyboard magician. He had an almost telepathic musical connection with Gilmour, and when Rick passed away in 2008 David said of Rick "He was our George Harrison". George was widely acknowledged as the best alround musician in the Beatles, to the extent that when someone asked John Lennon whether Ringo was the best drummer in the world, he replied "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles".
That quote from John is awesome. Since we are breaking bad fans and are reacting to a lot of Badfinger - also inspired by Breaking Bad's Baby Blue we have seen the impact of George Harrison. I can see that telepathic connection with the keyboardist as you pointed out. We mentioned him you can totally feel his impact emotionally on the songs!
@@reactioninaction7415 Hey Guys - if you want to see David & Rick's telepathic connection in full flower, try "Echoes" from "David Gilmour Live in Gdansk". That's from a Gilmour solo tour, but Rick was with him, as well as the bassist on Pulse (Guy Pratt). It's the finest version of Echoes I've ever heard, 25 minutes of bliss. When Rick passed, David said he would never play Echoes again, as he considered it to be a musical conversation between he and Rick. Killer version of Comfortably Numb in that concert as well, with a string orchestra backing them.
Saw this tour in Foxboro Ma. 1994. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Have also seen Roger Waters. Both are mind blowing. Where are the bands like this, The Doors, Zeppelin or Sabbath nowadays? I feel so lucky to have been a teenager in the late 70’s/early 80’s. ✌️
I was fortunate enough to be at that show in May of 1994 when they played at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. By far the best concert of my lifetime !! Fun fact: Pink Floyd has 3 identical stage set-ups. While they are playing, the other 2 stages are on the move and being set up at upcoming venues. The stages each cost $5 million dollars.
One thing about Floyd concerts is, from my understanding, Floyd doesn't just have speakers on stage, they have them all around the venue. In other words a Floyd concert is surround sound. Can you imagine!!
Correct. Even the pre-show sounds. Floyd had a soundscape of a guy coming out of his house, standing on his porch, drinking a cold drink in summer. Walks off the porch, into a shed and fires up a lawn mower going from one side to the stadium to the other. Meanwhile the house lights start going down a bit at a time and the soundscape gets louder. In the distance but coming in fast is a thunderstorm. As the storm gets closer, the lights get dimmer. Then every light in the place gets a flash with a clap of thunder. Total darkness and they start playing. You can hear the clap of thunder fade out at the very beginning of their Delicate Sound of Thunder and PULSE tour live shows.
Gilmour bends at least two octaves during these songs. In every song during the Pulse concert the lights are Highly synchronized with the music. It's how they amplify and magnify the emotions in the songs. They want the concert to be a visual and musical experience. David Gilmour was the lead singer after Waters left the band. Gilmour is the Greatest guitar player in music history. You guys should also react to the Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert. The greatest guitarist in music history performing at the age of 70. Performing for 2 hours as powerfully as he did for the Pulse concert. He and his band perform Gilmour's solo work, but many of the Pink Floyd hits including Sorrow. In particular watch his performance of the song 5am. A complete Instrumental from The Doctor himself. You guys should react to Learning to Fly as well
I don’t remember the stats, but read that the amount of electricity needed for this show was enough to power a small town…..This is what a lighting tech can do when Gilmore says “spare no expense” ……literally.
I was there and it was off the wall insanely good. The thing that people miss by listening via media etc, is that they blasted this out through their quadraphonic sound system powerful enough for an Olympic sized stadium. Unbelievable! Best concert ever without a doubt. There are so many brilliant songs that Floyd did that I could list. You are so going to enjoy this particular rabbit hole. You are only touching the surface.
Gilmour uses special string sets in which the G and B strings are lighter gauge than typical sets to help make those bends easier and more fluid. You can actually buy strings to Dave’s specifications on Amazon.
I was at night 2 of a 4 night stop in Foxboro MA Gillette stadium in'94. Had great seats, still compare all concerts even today to that show and nothing comes close and as amazing as the videos are it doesn't do the show justice to see it live. That stage literally had people with their mouths open back then, nothing was ever done prior to this!
It's great to see a father and son enjoying one of the greatest Rock bands of all time! Good job you guys! Regarding the "Gong" you guys were referring to, they use it in their song High Hopes' from the same 1994 Pulse concert. This album is all Gilmour, Roger Waters left the band in the mid 80s, a few years after The Wall. Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1965, the original 4 members of Pink Floyd were, Syd Barrett, (guitar, lead vocals), Roger Waters, (bass, vocals), Rick Wright, (keyboards, Synth, vocals), Nick Mason, (drummer, percussion). Syd Barrett was the driving force of the band, he was a huge talent in his song writing and musicianship. Unfortunately he had issues with mental health and serious drug problems. So much so that the band had to get another singer, guitarist to stand in when Syd was unable to rehearse or perform live. David Gilmour was that person, he was Syd's closest friend and an accomplished singer and guitarist in his own right. By the end of 1967 Syd issues got so bad that he was unable to perform at all. In fact in those final days they couldn't even communicate with him. By 1968 Syd was completely out of the picture and Gilmour took over his role in the band as lead singer, guitarist and songwriter. The band decided to pay Syd his full share of the proceeds of the band, and they did so until his death in 2006. Waters left the band around 1987, he was quoted as saying,... "Pink Floyd is a spent entity", he assumed, quite arrogantly I think, that because he was leaving the band, that the band was done! Well Gilmour and the two others carried on as Pink Floyd quite successfully. Waters didn't like that so he sued them,... but he lost the suit. Gilmour has always been the lead singer, and in most of Pink Floyd songs Gilmour is singing, even when Waters was there. As far as his guitar abilities are concerned, he is not technically a guitar Virtuoso, I'm talking about a musical theory education. He is a feel player, he speaks through his guitar. He's probably the greatest "Feel" guitarist ever. I've been playing guitar for over 50 years myself, I played in Rock bands for a number of years in the 70s, and I'm well familiar with guitarist of that era, and today. And David Gilmour is a special guitarist imo, he's not a shredder like many out there, his style is more of a groove style. His phrasing and inventiveness, with his rise and fall soloing, has a flow and purposefulness to it. He says more with a single note, with a pause, riff or trill or a bend,... than most guitarists say playing a Bajillion notes a second! Speaking of Bends, he is the King of the guitar Bend. Bending a string up 1 and 1/2, or 2 full steps, when done correctly, gives a certain type feel, and emotion in the playing. Gilmour does these bends frequently, and it is not that hard to do, but he takes it a bit further. He'll do 2 and 1/2 step bends, and 3 full step bends,... which is incredible! I play with a similar style as David, (he's been a huge influence on me) and I've been playing a long time too, so I can easily do bends at 1 and a 1/2, and 2 step,... but 2 and a 1/2 step bends are a bit difficult for me, and 3 step bends are out of the question! Haha!
I loved your comment it is the best concert EVER. I totally agree. Pink Floyd have always been renowned for their road shows BUT PULSE has got to be their best work ever and will never be beaten by any group including Pink Floyd as Richard Wright has died poor man. so the band can never be put back together. I bought this on VHS video when it first came out in 94 and then got the DVD and played it so loud my wife ornaments were falling off the fireplace. Still listen to it till this day. I love it thanks for your reaction to this and if you get to play 10% as good as Dave you are great on the guitar.
YAY! You finally chose one of my favorite requests. Roger Waters is long gone from the band, so David is now the lead singer. Also, for a fact they have one drummer (Nick Mason) and a PERCUSSIONIST.
@@nashkita77 Are you too young to remember Roger Waters??? He sang several songs on THE WALL. In the early years (Live @ Pompeii) they both sang on the same songs.
Hard to believe I was actually at this concert. Yankee stadium, Bronx New York, right field. Worst seats, but didn't matter. Love Gilmour's guitar work, his pacing, use of the tremolo, use of feedback, conservation of notes. The songs are emtionally overwhelming.
This song just tears you to pieces. Dave Gilmour is a guitar GOD! He sings a lot of their big songs - Time, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here and Money just to name a few. He interacted with Roger Waters in many other songs. And yes this song is from the album "Momentary Lapse of Reason." Dave Gilmour wrote most of theses songs including "Sorrow" with the help of the other important Pink Floyd members, Richard Wright (RIP) and Nick Mason. They truly are a very special band!
I was there. It changed my life,and everyone else inside Earls Court,London in 1994. Watch the whole concert. The show closer blew everybody out of their socks.
How lucky you were to be there; I'm continually stunned at and I'm just seeing a video! I'm going to sit down one of these days and watch the whole concert, but in the meantime, which song was the closer if you don't mind? I'd love to see that!.
If it hasn't been suggested yet, try listening to "On The Turning Away" from the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" live album. Or the one live from Nassau Coliseum in NY. You'd be blown away. Dave's guitar solo in that one is a serious contender for best guitar solo ever (for me, even better than his work in "Comfortably Numb")! The pulsing bass of Guy Pratt, the heavenly backing vocals (I could watch Rachel Fury move and sing like that all day long XD), the tempered and crisp drum work of Nick and of course the atmospheric keyboard of Rick setting the tone: PERFECTION!
The strings David is playing are by GHS. They make a David Gilmour signature series set for the public. They are the same gauge as David is using. The blue series is for his Strat,and the red are gauged for his Les Paul. The guitar pick he uses is a Herco Flex 75. I highly you try this gear out.
That was the percussionist jumping….not the drummer. There is the drummer, and then there is the percussionist….He’s a MUCH younger session guy, hired for the tour, like the singers etc.😁
You MUST check out "Pink Floyd-Reunion/Live 8 (2005). They managed to put aside their differences to perform together with Roger Waters one last time for a charity concert in London. After all those years of not playing together, and after only a few hours rehearsing, they are absolutely incredible. There's still bad blood, but they are the consummate professionals on stage.
FYI . . . 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 45,000 audience. At the end of the year, the Division Bell Tour was announced as the biggest tour ever, with worldwide gross of over £150 million (about US$250 million). In the U.S. alone, it grossed US$103.5 million from 59 concerts. Also, 1 Drummer and 1 Percussionist. There is a difference.
Eric Clapton was asked in an interview what it was like being the world's greatest guitarist. He said, I'm not sure, you'll have to ask David Gilmour about that.
You guys are obviously loving the "Pulse" concert, who wouldn't? The layout/song list for the entire show is brilliant from start to end...First half of the concert was selected songs from various albums but mostly from Dave Gilmore's Division Bell album. Sorrow, High Hopes etc. They open with Shine On You Crazy Diamond...review that one!! Then they play the entire Dark Side of the Moon album..plus encores..Comfortably Numb, Run & the third one you couldn't recall... Wish You Were Here!
Roger Waters was the bass player……in addition of course to co-writer and vocalist with Gilmore. Guy Pratt, , British session bass player extraordinaire, is playing bass for this tour…..and with much of Gilmore’s solo career. Did you notice the big grins that Pratt and Gilmore exchanged toward the end of the song? I LOVE it when the musicians are so obviously giddy……They are in it for the music and the live performance ………getting paid for doing what you adore is the icing on the cake. You see those same grins between Page and Plant, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson…….no doubt many others. The sheer love of music, having the chops, and being at the top of your game.
I think to clarify, Waters is in no way involved with this tour or this song or the album the tour is named after 'The Division Bell' which became 'Pulse' on vinyl CD and DVD.
I can only think of two groups that can come close to Pink Floyds Show. Check out " Nightwish and Anette Olson - Amaranth with English words " They dont use lasers on this performance, just fire and sparkles. A group with lots of lasers is Alan Walker. His song '" Faded " ( Live Performance ) has over 3 Billion views on youtube alone. Watch the one with 216 million views Dec 5 2017 with singer Tove Styrke.
Well done to you guys who have full screen the live. This is the best live in history. Pink Floyd send more people to the space from the NASA. You must see also the Roger waters live in Mexico. Just epic. When Gilmore play his guitar no need lyrics.
David Gilmour is the lead guitar & singer. Rick Wright is the keyboard player and original member of the band. Nick Mason is the seated drummer and the only other original member.
Thanks for those that said we did Pulse Comfortable Numb. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/1u2gyXXtIeU/w-d-xo.html Here is a link to our Pink Floyd Playlist! th-cam.com/video/1u2gyXXtIeU/w-d-xo.html
There are two drum kits. The guy jumping is reaching for symbols. Nick Mason original member has the center floor kit. Gilmore's tone is about using freq and harmonics with an incredible sound set up to make his guitar sound HUGE. Its his ability to make it sound musical along with choice chops along the way.

Magnificent ..I really liked the smile the bassist and Gilmour exchanged at the end of the song...it was like, "yeah we just killed that" and absolutely not in a ego trip kind of way
Same Pulse concert "High Hopes" is the song they use the big gong in, great lap steel guitar solo by David!
Even the bell 🔔
That song can make me cry during the solo , Nothing only for personal reasons but that shits beautiful.
I like the High Hope version from Gdansk with the orchestra.
High hopes my friend is my best song from pink Floyd. The details and that Gilmore does travel my soul...
When I first viewed this concert (on dvd) many years ago I felt that the opening song (Shine On ...) was the most amazing live performance of a song I had ever seen - until they played the next song (High Hopes), and then the one after that, and on and on.

Drummer is Nick Mason first and original Pink Floyd's member.
In Pulse Gary Wallis is additional percussionist.
Great sound great musicians
You forgot Richard Wright who is the main keyboardist on stage. He was one of the four originals alongside Roger Waters and Syd Barrett (later replaced by David Gilmour).
@@garyeanes4747 i didn't mention Richard Wright but i don't forget ... I love he and his music .
Great Rick 💓

One of the best live jams I've ever seen during the band instumental, Totally otherworldly! Really enjoy your trip!!
Thanks Rochelle Clough!
I'm old enough to have been at this concert. When David Gilmour was playing the intro and outro it made your chest really vibrate
One of their sound engineers friend of mine. He said they had like 52 semi's full of equipment and needed 2 with generators to give them the power they needed. Saw the concert twice, never seen so many speakers at a concert. The sound quality was unbelievable. A total experience and EVERYONE came out blown away!

Gilmour is the lead singer for all the songs on the Pulse. Take note of how well David's vocal blend with his music.
Now that you've seen Sorrow, you're ready for One Of These Days from the Pulse Concert.
I think you're in a Floyd mood.
🎸💯 David Gilmour SHREDS that Stratocaster‼I love Pink Floyd‼🔥
David Gilmour is pitch perfect. He will always sing on note. It is also why his string bends and tremolos are spot on.
Love it!! Told ya!! LEARNING TO FLY next, same concert...
Pure gold, pure magic, pure genius, Pink Floyd will be played forever, like Mozart ❤
I was lucky enough to see this concert on the Division Bell tour…even had VIP seats 6 rows from the front.
There’s a joke about the lasers & lights on this tour.
Lighting crew: “What’s our budget?”
Pink Floyd: “Yes!”

On The Turning Away is amazing.
It was great being there! Seen them several times thru the years but this Pulse tour was unsurpassed. You should check out Keep talking from Pulse.
David Gilmore is just incredible with his guitar. The Pulse concert are in it`s own leuge. The intro in "Sorrow" reminds me of Bladerunner by the way.

It's how they amplify and magnify the emotions in the songs. They want the concert to be a visual and musical experience. David Gilmour was the lead singer after Waters left the band. Gilmour is the Greatest guitar player in music history. You guys should also react to the Gilmour Live in Pompeii concert. The greatest guitarist in music history performing at the age of 70. Performing for 2 hours as powerfully as he did for the Pulse concert. He and his band perform Gilmour's solo work, but many of the Pink Floyd hits including Sorrow. In particular watch his performance of the song 5am. A complete Instrumental from The Doctor himself. You guys should react to Learning to Fly as well
I don’t remember the stats, but read that the amount of electricity needed for this show was enough to power a small town…..This is what a lighting tech can do when Gilmore says “spare no expense” ……literally.
they had 2 back up generators outside to back up the venue power
I was there and it was off the wall insanely good. The thing that people miss by listening via media etc, is that they blasted this out through their quadraphonic sound system powerful enough for an Olympic sized stadium. Unbelievable!
Best concert ever without a doubt.
There are so many brilliant songs that Floyd did that I could list.
You are so going to enjoy this particular rabbit hole. You are only touching the surface.
U just witnessed the masters at work with their phenomenal artistry
Beautiful
Just Awesome .
Oh boy are you ready for this??!!! You have to follow this up with One of These Days....same concert
Gilmour uses special string sets in which the G and B strings are lighter gauge than typical sets to help make those bends easier and more fluid.
You can actually buy strings to Dave’s specifications on Amazon.
One. Of. The. Best. Shows. Going. The. Best. 👍👍👍
There's nothing comparable to Pulse. It's just... P U L S E
100% agree...nothing....
That percussionist is out of this world
I was at night 2 of a 4 night stop in Foxboro MA Gillette stadium in'94. Had great seats, still compare all concerts even today to that show and nothing comes close and as amazing as the videos are it doesn't do the show justice to see it live. That stage literally had people with their mouths open back then, nothing was ever done prior to this!
Luv his guitar he has the best sounding one that just blends so real
Richard Wright is on the keyboard try listening to the last track on pulse called run like hell Floyd are epic
It's great to see a father and son enjoying one of the greatest Rock bands of all time! Good job you guys!
Regarding the "Gong" you guys were referring to, they use it in their song High Hopes' from the same 1994 Pulse concert. This album is all Gilmour, Roger Waters left the band in the mid 80s, a few years after The Wall.
Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1965, the original 4 members of Pink Floyd were, Syd Barrett, (guitar, lead vocals), Roger Waters, (bass, vocals), Rick Wright, (keyboards, Synth, vocals), Nick Mason, (drummer, percussion).
Syd Barrett was the driving force of the band, he was a huge talent in his song writing and musicianship. Unfortunately he had issues with mental health and serious drug problems. So much so that the band had to get another singer, guitarist to stand in when Syd was unable to rehearse or perform live.
David Gilmour was that person, he was Syd's closest friend and an accomplished singer and guitarist in his own right. By the end of 1967 Syd issues got so bad that he was unable to perform at all. In fact in those final days they couldn't even communicate with him.
By 1968 Syd was completely out of the picture and Gilmour took over his role in the band as lead singer, guitarist and songwriter. The band decided to pay Syd his full share of the proceeds of the band, and they did so until his death in 2006.
Waters left the band around 1987, he was quoted as saying,... "Pink Floyd is a spent entity", he assumed, quite arrogantly I think, that because he was leaving the band, that the band was done! Well Gilmour and the two others carried on as Pink Floyd quite successfully. Waters didn't like that so he sued them,... but he lost the suit.
Gilmour has always been the lead singer, and in most of Pink Floyd songs Gilmour is singing, even when Waters was there.
As far as his guitar abilities are concerned, he is not technically a guitar Virtuoso, I'm talking about a musical theory education. He is a feel player, he speaks through his guitar. He's probably the greatest "Feel" guitarist ever.
I've been playing guitar for over 50 years myself, I played in Rock bands for a number of years in the 70s, and I'm well familiar with guitarist of that era, and today. And David Gilmour is a special guitarist imo, he's not a shredder like many out there, his style is more of a groove style.
His phrasing and inventiveness, with his rise and fall soloing, has a flow and purposefulness to it. He says more with a single note, with a pause, riff or trill or a bend,... than most guitarists say playing a Bajillion notes a second! Speaking of Bends, he is the King of the guitar Bend.
Bending a string up 1 and 1/2, or 2 full steps, when done correctly, gives a certain type feel, and emotion in the playing. Gilmour does these bends frequently, and it is not that hard to do, but he takes it a bit further. He'll do 2 and 1/2 step bends, and 3 full step bends,... which is incredible!
I play with a similar style as David, (he's been a huge influence on me) and I've been playing a long time too, so I can easily do bends at 1 and a 1/2, and 2 step,... but 2 and a 1/2 step bends are a bit difficult for me, and 3 step bends are out of the question! Haha!
Momentary lapse of reason is the album. Listen to one of these days from the same concert for the gong
I loved your comment it is the best concert EVER. I totally agree. Pink Floyd have always been renowned for their road shows BUT PULSE has got to be their best work ever and will never be beaten by any group including Pink Floyd as Richard Wright has died poor man. so the band can never be put back together. I bought this on VHS video when it first came out in 94 and then got the DVD and played it so loud my wife ornaments were falling off the fireplace. Still listen to it till this day. I love it thanks for your reaction to this and if you get to play 10% as good as Dave you are great on the guitar.
We were there that night! I ended up going four times 😊❤
YAY! You finally chose one of my favorite requests.
Roger Waters is long gone from the band, so David is now the lead singer. Also, for a fact they have one drummer (Nick Mason) and a PERCUSSIONIST.
Don´t forget Richard !!
David has always been lead vocalist
@@nashkita77 Are you too young to remember Roger Waters??? He sang several songs on THE WALL. In the early years (Live @ Pompeii) they both sang on the same songs.
@@GoldwingGary1 Roger was more of a backup vocalist and did a few leads.
@@GoldwingGary1 I went to a Roger Waters concert in 2001
Hard to believe I was actually at this concert. Yankee stadium, Bronx New York, right field. Worst seats, but didn't matter. Love Gilmour's guitar work, his pacing, use of the tremolo, use of feedback, conservation of notes. The songs are emtionally overwhelming.
This song just tears you to pieces. Dave Gilmour is a guitar GOD! He sings a lot of their big songs - Time, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here and Money just to name a few. He interacted with Roger Waters in many other songs. And yes this song is from the album "Momentary Lapse of Reason." Dave Gilmour wrote most of theses songs including "Sorrow" with the help of the other important Pink Floyd members, Richard Wright (RIP) and Nick Mason. They truly are a very special band!
He’s the master folks will never be another Pink Floyd
I was there.
It changed my life,and everyone else inside Earls Court,London in 1994.
Watch the whole concert.
The show closer blew everybody out of their socks.
How lucky you were to be there; I'm continually stunned at and I'm just seeing a video! I'm going to sit down one of these days and watch the whole concert, but in the meantime, which song was the closer if you don't mind? I'd love to see that!.
@@gibsongirl2100 the encore was a fantastic rendition of Run Like Hell.
Nice reaction guys ! You should check "Keep Talking" form the same show (pulse) as well
A guy with blue jeans and a t-shirt plays like that…..just goes to show you….
If it hasn't been suggested yet, try listening to "On The Turning Away" from the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" live album. Or the one live from Nassau Coliseum in NY. You'd be blown away. Dave's guitar solo in that one is a serious contender for best guitar solo ever (for me, even better than his work in "Comfortably Numb")! The pulsing bass of Guy Pratt, the heavenly backing vocals (I could watch Rachel Fury move and sing like that all day long XD), the tempered and crisp drum work of Nick and of course the atmospheric keyboard of Rick setting the tone: PERFECTION!
Gilmour is a great target to aim for when learning to play guitar.
Agree they r top of their field with this concert. I miss m even tho we have their awesome music I listen to them every day.
The strings David is playing are by GHS. They make a David Gilmour signature series set for the public. They are the same gauge as David is using. The blue series is for his Strat,and the red are gauged for his Les Paul. The guitar pick he uses is a Herco Flex 75. I highly you try this gear out.
That was the percussionist jumping….not the drummer. There is the drummer, and then there is the percussionist….He’s a MUCH younger session guy, hired for the tour, like the singers etc.😁
Cool - thanks for clarifying.
Supremacy of the music. Ciao da Roma
You MUST check out "Pink Floyd-Reunion/Live 8 (2005). They managed to put aside their differences to perform together with Roger Waters one last time for a charity concert in London. After all those years of not playing together, and after only a few hours rehearsing, they are absolutely incredible. There's still bad blood, but they are the consummate professionals on stage.
Pink Floyd concert sunglasses=10/10!
FYI . . . 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 45,000 audience. At the end of the year, the Division Bell Tour was announced as the biggest tour ever, with worldwide gross of over £150 million (about US$250 million). In the U.S. alone, it grossed US$103.5 million from 59 concerts.
Also, 1 Drummer and 1 Percussionist. There is a difference.
One youre done with Pulse. I suggest you David Gilmour in Gdanks which Gilmour is with Richard Wright and orchestra.
Eric Clapton was asked in an interview what it was like being the world's greatest guitarist. He said, I'm not sure, you'll have to ask David Gilmour about that.
Pink Floyd is the top of the top's
Amen on David's abilities
Gilmore is the calm, floating lyrics from Comfortably Numb.
Keep talking from the pulse live concert you won’t be disappointed
You guys are obviously loving the "Pulse" concert, who wouldn't? The layout/song list for the entire show is brilliant from start to end...First half of the concert was selected songs from various albums but mostly from Dave Gilmore's Division Bell album. Sorrow, High Hopes etc. They open with Shine On You Crazy Diamond...review that one!! Then they play the entire Dark Side of the Moon album..plus encores..Comfortably Numb, Run & the third one you couldn't recall... Wish You Were Here!
Roger Waters was the bass player……in addition of course to co-writer and vocalist with Gilmore. Guy Pratt, , British session bass player extraordinaire, is playing bass for this tour…..and with much of Gilmore’s solo career. Did you notice the big grins that Pratt and Gilmore exchanged toward the end of the song? I LOVE it when the musicians are so obviously giddy……They are in it for the music and the live performance ………getting paid for doing what you adore is the icing on the cake. You see those same grins between Page and Plant, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson…….no doubt many others. The sheer love of music, having the chops, and being at the top of your game.
I think to clarify, Waters is in no way involved with this tour or this song or the album the tour is named after 'The Division Bell' which became 'Pulse' on vinyl CD and DVD.
Yea you can see their joy even playing Sorrow!
GILMOUR.
@@reactioninaction7415 Those 2 or 3 seconds which begin at 12:07 are amazing.
They use the gong on the song ''High Hopes'' Pulse
There is even a name for the way Gilmour bends the strings on his guitar, it's called the Gilmour bend. It's good to see that you picked up on that.
THAT was fun.
The greatest concert by the greatest band in the world and no Roger Waters needed.
The Sixth and Seventies were the best area for music groups. All types of music.
I can only think of two groups that can come close to Pink Floyds Show. Check out " Nightwish and Anette Olson - Amaranth with English words " They dont use lasers on this performance, just fire and sparkles. A group with lots of lasers is Alan Walker. His song '" Faded " ( Live Performance ) has over 3 Billion views on youtube alone. Watch the one with 216 million views Dec 5 2017 with singer Tove Styrke.
Well done to you guys who have full screen the live. This is the best live in history. Pink Floyd send more people to the space from the NASA. You must see also the Roger waters live in Mexico. Just epic. When Gilmore play his guitar no need lyrics.
We call it “Gilmourized” there’s no one can play and sing like David. Check out keep talking from PULSE too.
David Gilmour is the lead guitar & singer. Rick Wright is the keyboard player and original member of the band. Nick Mason is the seated drummer and the only other original member.
Try the band Boston too, start with HITCH A RIDE. Fantastic layered guitars, you'll love it.
That drummer is a percussionist NOT just a drummer
You gotta do comfortably numb, and high hopes from same concert
they did comfortably numb Pulse concert
@@mizymeezygaming6309 yeah I wrote it before I heard them say they heard it. But High Hopes is a great song for them to watch
Learning to Fly
Thanks for those that said we did Pulse Comfortable Numb. Here is the link:

There are two drum kits. The guy jumping is reaching for symbols. Nick Mason original member has the center floor kit. Gilmore's tone is about using freq and harmonics with an incredible sound set up to make his guitar sound HUGE. Its his ability to make it sound musical along with choice chops along the way.
14:25 Guy and Dave are having fun!
