There's a SciFi series named Space Above And Beyond. In the pilot there's a scene where they're talking about a song, one of the characters says he remembers hearing about a band from back in High School in a class on Classical Music. The band was named Floyd Pink he thought.
"The child is grown, the dream is gone" That lyric is so phenomenally deep & relatable to everyone. That sadness of having lost your childlike innocence & high hopes and dreams for the future. Just a reminder how fast life passes by. Pink Floyd is otherworldly !!!
So Wordsworth said " Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind." and Roger Waters said it more simply: "The child is grown, the dream is gone""
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.
omg woaw I have gone on their planet again I have to go outside to breathe to regain my composure at 16 it was a Revelation that should be in the Bible.
He not only plays the right notes, but he makes the spaces between those notes as meaningful as the notes themselves. Not many musicians ever master that art. Less is sometimes so much more.
Gilmour plays with impeccable timing in his spacing .He is never frantic. Even on a song like Have a Cigar where it gets very up tempo he is meticulous in his changes. He is a virtuoso. Different than many but better than most. He is absolutely in the top 10 of rock guitarists who made it. There are a lot of fantastic guitarists who never made the big time. C'est La Vie.
There's not a metalhead out there that doesn't rate Dave Gilmours playing trust me on that. He's not flashy, fast or showboaty but he just wrings emotion out of his solo's. Less is sometimes more and it certainly is when Gilmour plays.
Beth Hart is another artist like that. She probably sells more $50 tickets than $15 albums. Artists like that, especially in the age of "free music," are very rare.
@@RobwLPOC I still remember when a bunch of us nine or ten year olds were playing in my front yard, and some semi-hoods pulled up abruptly in their car. They called out the window: "What it is, what it was, and what it shall be!" Then they drove off.
David IS in the conversation for "Greatest " of all time.. and this, this right here is considered one of the "Greatest" guitar solo's of all time by most professionals.. Just saying, what you felt is recognized by almost everyone! I enjoyed your reactions! Thank you!
I have been to nearly 100 concerts. And none of them can hold a candle to the amazing sound and sight spectacle that was the Pulse Tour. Washington D.C., RFK, July 9, 1994
I was there at the Superdome in New Orleans in May 1994 for this concert. This was my 27th birthday present I gave to myself, and that was the BEST present I ever gave to myself. That concert was off the chains. And the view I had was straight dead center of the stage in the first level off the floor. I got to see the full view of their show. And the sound in that building was amazing considering the acoustics of the Dome back then. Their sound was crystal clear. No bouncing echoes in that building whatsoever. Considering I've seen performers like Rush, Elvis Presley, Van Halen, Motley Crue, KISS, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant (both together AND solo), Depeche Mode, U2, Aerosmith, etc., this concert right was THE CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF ALL TIME!!!
I was at the San Diego show in April of '94. Like you it was the best show I have ever seen and I too have seen some biggies like Iron Maiden, KISS, OZZY, Judas Priest and the list goes on, but that Floyd show was 3 hours of perfection.
I saw this show in Rotterdam '94, when I was 15. I had already "acquired" the albums from my dad, but this was a life-altering experience... I've seen Tool couple of times, but this rings #1 still. Thanks dad!!
Seen these guys back in '88 and as a roadie that's seen countless amounts of concerts, I can honestly say it's still the greatest live show I've ever seen.
Momentary lapse tour - Montreal Olympic Stadium. My first concert ever, front row. David threw his guitar pic my way. My friend caught it with his hat. Proceeded to trade it for a joint. I was pissed at him for a while. 😎
Pink Floyd is not merely a band, they’re an emotional journey. I’ve never heard someone so able to communicate feelings through six strings and an amp like David Gilmour can. The man’s simply a musical story teller, travel agent and genius.
This song is the highlight of this concert, but the rest is absolutely phenomenal! In the middle of the set list they performed “Dark Side of the Moon” from top to bottom. Best shit ever!!!
@Shane Molloy you’re so right! Man, I would’ve LOVED to live in the UK and London during the 60’s and 70’s. They have produced some of the greatest musicians of all time.
"The child has grown, the dream is gone" a line thats always stuck with me, such an epic song just like all of pink floyds catalog, loving the channel guys!
I haven't had the honor of going to a Pink Floyd concert but I've been told that in the last few minutes of your life, they feel ( those who went) that wherever and whenever fate tips its cap at you, your mind will take you to this place. And you will smile.
Music isn’t a sport… Many people are just trying to be impressed by what is basically athleticism. And it’s impressive in the sense of wow he can jump high… Wow he’s really fast… Wow he’s really flexible… You know what I mean? Like people who play hard complicated stuff I give it up for their technical skill in speed and all that but who cares if it sounds like shit? Music is about feeling and emotion. Tasha knows she’s right this is like having a spiritual experience it takes you somewhere you can’t be in a hurry you have to open up chill out relax and go for a ride. Music is supposed to make you feel something that’s the whole point, it all combines together the lyrics all the instruments and if you shut your eyes it’s like there’s a movie in your head it just takes you away. Technique is only important to the extent which it can help you express yourself and move somebody, technique just to show off totally misses the point. Bands like this will be around forever because they speak to our universal soul what unites us as life on this earth. 🙏🏼
DG is absolutely one of the greatest rock guitarists for his ability to transmit emotion and feel into guitar sound. Goosebumps every time on the second solo!
not sure why you think David Gilmour isnt in the conversation for greatest guitarist. he is. easily the best for making his guitar almost sing. he is heralded, envied by many guitarists of famous bands for being unique. plus, add his voice...its a WOW.
Probably because he is not a shredder or overly flashy, but ask any guitarist and they will mention Gilmour and talk about his tone, his phrasing, his sense of timing and melody, and his bends which all make him a pioneer and a legendary player.
There is a lot of guitar players that can make the guitar sing. A lot of them are also a great composers. Gilmour is fantastic and absolutely unique. I just love that guy. But when we talk about the greatest then we are considering their skills with the instrument. Hendrix could probably play all of the Gilmour solos with no problem. Gilmour is just not on the skill level to play most of the Hendrix solos. If we look at the skill level on the instrument Hendrix and Srv are sitting on the top. And there is a big gap behind them and the others.
You are absolutely right about how Gilmour's solos brings out the epitomy of talking to the audience and keeping their ears entertained It's not easy to do.
I saw this show in Philadelphia, Veterans Stadium in 1994. Our seats were literally right against the Phillies dugout. We were standing at the back of the dugout and leaning on the roof the whole time. Great show!
Love the reaction guys! Same concert, SORROW, HIGH HOPES, COMING BACK TO LIFE, LEARNING TO FLY. All EPIC. Gilmour makes me FEEL like no other. SORROW performance is my favorite live performance. Just wow.
Saw them in 1994, Pontiac Silverdome. Me my wife, bro'n law and my bestest friend. The wife was 7 months pregnant with our son. ( who is a huge Floyd fan) She had a pillow to hold over her tummy and when the bass was really cranking the baby would move around. I have seen hundreds of concerts and this was numero uno!!!
From the same Pulse concert in 1994, check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL. 3 members of Pink Floyd from the 1960’s performed at Pulse: David Gilmour, Richard Wright (keyboards), and Nick Mason (drums). All 3 would have been around 50 years old at the time of Pulse.
I wasn't at the show filmed for this video, but I WAS there in 1994, when this tour came to Pittsburgh. It was absolutely amazing, and I'm so happy that fine people like yourselves continue to enjoy Pink Floyd.
I saw this live at Arrowhead stadium back in the 90s. It was ridiculous. Gilmour is a guitar god in most people's books. His Black Fender stratocaster was sold and was the most expensive guitar ever. He recorded dark side of the moon, wish you were here, and the wall with it. Fun fact
Love watching you grow in to the grateful Floyd fan! I was lucky enough to see their Division Bell tour live at Mile High Stadium. Comfortably Numb was definitely one of the high points of that event...when the mirror ball is lit is an amazing moment. Even more amazing, the intensity of the light within the ball! Literally as bright as the sun! It loses a little of the impact on the small screen and indoors... coupled with the blistering guitar solo... priceless!
Every time I react to Pink Floyd I'm amazed. I said my last reaction they're by far the best live concert band. Seeing this only backs what im saying. Great video. Good reaction! You guys are positive people keep it up
I was there for that concert. The mirror ball was actually shrouded so from where I was sitting it wasn’t evident what it was. When it lowered from the shroud and that mirror ball effect lit the auditorium it blew me away. I’ve seen this footage many times and it still gives me a buzz of emotion. Also, I don’t know if you realise how much that circular projection screen moves during the concert, sometimes being vertical and sometimes horizontal. DG is not just an incredible guitarist, but sings and composes too. He also plays a mean slide guitar.
I saw the concert at Earles Court. I always loved the finale at Floyd concerts because there was always a white light feature. I knew there would be a whopper at this one and was expecting something from behind the stage. However there was a huge hidden black-curtained thing suspended at the height of the arena, but it was behind us where we were sitting. When the finale got going everyone stood up and we were facing backwards to see the alien glitterball. I remember when it opened, the light was incredibly bright and the heat from it was astonishing. The film doesn’t bring over how big the ball was or how powerful the spectacle.
You have to watch this show, the whole show, multiple times through, so you get all of it; the music, the lights, the set, the videos, the crowd, etc. It's so amazing.
Every time I see and hear this solo-outro, it gets me short of breath, lump in my throat and tears in my eyes......simply magnificent and it wouldn't it have been wonderful to be there to witness, see and hear this spectacle of live performance unlikey to be surpassed in this kind of genre
T's reaction during the second solo was exactly how I was at this concert in 94 closing my eyes to enjoy the guitar while occasionally opening my eyes to see the show
Saw them performing "The Wall" in LA in Feb. 1980. The guitar solo was performed from atop a 40' high wall that had been build across the stage. Best concert I ever attended, hands down!
Watching you 2 enjoy one of my favorite songs ever...just added even more to my enjoyment. David's solo here is always at or near the top of every "top guitar solos ever" list. No one can say Pink Floyd doesn't pull out all the stops when they put on an arena concert.
I’ve seen every Floyd concert more than once, if they played multiple nights. Everyone of them top my list of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Nothing comes close. I saw Pulse in the old Joe Robbie stadium in south Florida and took a buddy with me who’d never seen them before. His mind was completely blown by their performance.
I was 22 yrs old , I was there !!! I can tell you I still cant believe what I saw . All I can tell you is there was not a dry eye in that whole place. It was a magical emotional roller coaster. All I can say is what Saw was something I will never see anything like it ,ever again. Greatest band ever album and especially live. PINK FLOYD !!!!!
Everything from this concert is amazing, but this one and Sorrow in particular just kill me every time. It makes me so happy to see people discovering Pink Floyd. I've never been able to find the words for how Pink Floyd makes me feel, but when I see it in someone else I know. They have so many amazing songs, some are soft and slow, some are bluesy, some are hard rocking. You'll get lots of input I'm sure about what songs to listen to next, but just know that they're all hugely worth it. ✌❤🖖
I was sooo incredibly fortunate to see them on this tour in Philly. There's an awesome DVD of the entire concert. You guys should react to the whole show!!!
Nooooooo!! I'm with you!! I get absolutely LOST in David's guitar solo. That stage could be dark for all I care. The light show is a cherry on top. That solo is everything. David absolutely must be in the conversation of greatest guitartists along with Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eddie Van Halen (I could go on) -- all have different styles in their genre but their individual solos they have performed are epic! I love that you're on a journey listening to them YOURSELF so you can decide where these greats are in your heart.
Listening to Comfortably Numb and then watching this performance can only be compared to watching the Sistine Chapel being painted in real time. Magic.
I got a real kick out of this review. It was very sincere and honest. Unexpected and appreciated. They recognize great music. I will search for more of their reviews because they come across legit.
Dont fret. All 3 surviving members tour on their own. I saw both David Gilmour and Roger Waters a few yrs back. David is mesmerizing and worth every penny. Go if you can!
@@HogarthsAstrophotography and you know this because?????? Last I heard he had leftovers from rattle that lock that he would be releasing and touring again after that. So are you just guessing this? Or is there some factual basis for this.
@@dwoehrma no i was making a guess from the sale of 99% of his guitars alot he uses on tour that there would be no more. Just my speculation really. Hope I’m wrong
So lovely hearing the charming young lady say "come get me". They already have you dear girl. So nice to see this music still impacting people. There is a unity amongst musicians and music lovers that is unparalleled in the arts. It can hit you so hard. It can actually alter you. Not just this track, but in general. Music can truly be life altering. Loads of love to the two of you. You get it. I can see the gentleman getting lost in the pure beauty of the song. The young lady is taking in the visual artistry and musicality in equal measure it appears. Deepest regards from the UK. Cheers. BAx 🇪🇺🇬🇧
You all did a great reaction to this. I saw Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at the Alamodome in San Antonio with 47,000 fans. I had 18th row seats on floor and it was phenomenal. They played the entire album Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish in the first set, and the second set included songs from The Division Bell and other popular songs. If you want to see the ultimate light show from this concert check out "Run Like Hell", which was the encore and final song of the show!
I have probably been to over 60 concerts in my life but the most memorable and greatest experience I have had was seeing them in 1975 in a soccer stadium in Hamilton Canada. the atmosphere and the total experience I hard to describe but I am very fortunate to have seen this amazing band
As a metalhead my entire life / Guitar player for most of my adult life, I can truly say that Gilmour is DENIETLY up there as a guitar player, top 5 for me! Pink Floyd in my ears/eyes is the most professional and spectacular rock band in the history of Rock, hands down!
On Roger Waters (one of the founding members of Pink Floyd and the creative force behind the band) last concert suddenly the pyramid from Dark Side of the Moon suddenly appears above our heads, it was a peak experience! No other band like Pink Floyd, this in 2019
This is such an amazing song all by itself. Seeing this in concert, the incredible set they made and the experience Pink Floyd gives you.. Then with this extended guitar solo, this is one of the greatest performances ever. Now, please check into my patreon requests.. I still have so many in there.. See you again soon.
Love you guys. You can always tell reactors who've never been to a Pink Floyd concert though. People who close their eyes, and miss all the visuals. I was at this show. It cost me $2/minute, or 3.33 cents per second. I did my best not to blink the whole time. No way in hell was I going to miss a single aspect of it. LOL!
You’ve found heaven! You asked for suggestions, so I say High Hopes, Sorrow, Shine On You Crazy Diamond and One of These Days from the same Pulse concert.
OMG, I'm 54, I've seen them live twice. There is nothing else that compares to it on a spiritual level. It is all encompassing. Closest is Grateful Dead live back in the day. Floyd was meticulous about live sound. Being at a live Floyd show was like wearing headphones. Thank you.

Four hundred years from now, they will speak of Pink Floyd the way people today speak of Bach and Beethoven.
There's a SciFi series named Space Above And Beyond. In the pilot there's a scene where they're talking about a song, one of the characters says he remembers hearing about a band from back in High School in a class on Classical Music. The band was named Floyd Pink he thought.
@@goosefarm3602 damn the 80s lucky that’s still pretty prime for them performance wise
It wont take 400 years. Floyd is already there for a lot of us.
Bach and beethoven would have been impressed with pink floyd
and that is a fact!
Most guitarists plug their guitars into an amp. David Gilmour plugs his into his soul.
No, he plugs into our collective souls :)
Amen!
I've always said he knows how to make the guitar sing.
Braaaa you forgot Adam Jones, Angus Young, and Yngwie Malmsteen
What an incredible comment!
"David Gilmour can do more with one note than most guitar players can do with the whole fretboard." -- Dave Mustaine (Metallica; Megadeth)
David Gilmour’s voice is always over shadowed by his guitar work. But the man’s voice tones are hypnotic and such a perfect compliment to his playing.
he is honestly insane
I don't know if you know this, but most of Pink Floyd's hits are duets between Roger and David.
You're so right about Gilmore's voice
My guitar teacher called this “Jedi level melodic wailing”.
A wise Jedi master you have padwan
I had a guitar teacher once tell me this solo alters the fabric of space.
:-)
@@glenchapman3899 I feel outside of time and space every time I hear this
I was there, seen pink Floyd live 7 times best band in the world x.
"The child is grown, the dream is gone"
That lyric is so phenomenally deep & relatable to everyone. That sadness of having lost your childlike innocence & high hopes and dreams for the future. Just a reminder how fast life passes by.
Pink Floyd is otherworldly !!!
Yes. This. You said how I was feeling perfectly!
@@EnvyBlu Thanks. This song just brings out such emotion... no matter how many times I have heard it in my life.
Sucks to hear this and know it’s true
@@jeffcasey9911 I completely agree. I think that's why this song dredges up so much painful emotion. And I feel it every single time I hear it.
So Wordsworth said " Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind." and Roger Waters said it more simply: "The child is grown, the dream is gone""

They say that Dave Gilmour doesn't play many notes but he plays the right ones.
And in the right order...😇
Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas
He not only plays the right notes, but he makes the spaces between those notes as meaningful as the notes themselves. Not many musicians ever master that art.
Less is sometimes so much more.
Gilmour is simply legendary! One of my favorites has to be dog's.. I'd like to see the reaction to that song 😊😊

Fender has built the Stratocaster and God created David Gilmour, to play it
GILMOUR*
My guy said this is what dying is like. She said is this what heaven is like. GOD said. Yep
That is one of the best comments about David I've ever heard "God created David Gilmore to play it" TRUTH!!!
Uwe: I must correct you. "Fender created a guitar and God created David Gilmour to teach Fender's guitar SING!"

I get chills every time I hear this song, in particular this version of it. Gilmour's voice is heavenly.
The feeling I get from this performance is much like taking Acid. Have been addicted to this specific performance for 20 years now.
This performance is the Mona Lisa of concerts.
This is considered the greatest version of "Comfortably numb" ever witnessed, everything about this screams perfection.
personally i think the version at pompeii is better
@@frankisfrank69 here's a show done there in 2016 th-cam.com/video/LTseTg48568/w-d-xo.html
I completely agree with your assessment! The layering of the instruments is SO good, and the vocals blend so well with it all. It IS perfection.
I much prefer live at Pompeii version.
Probably the best solo in the world full of passion and emotion
I usually prefer the studio version of a song over a live performance, but Gilmour takes the guitar solo to a whole other level in this concert.
Beth Hart is another artist like that. She probably sells more $50 tickets than $15 albums. Artists like that, especially in the age of "free music," are very rare.

David Gilmour is among the best guitarists to ever live. He proves that you don't have to play a million notes per second.
@Shane Molloy And yet the greatest greatest innovators on guitar have come from America. Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, etc.
@Shane Molloy that's true. England does produce a hell of a lot a great musicians and bands.

I've listened to that song many times and every time I get emotional, That is a soul song. If that doesn't touch your soul you don't have one
Pink Floyd were not a show they were an experience. Pulse the concert, Earls Court London the venue.

A Pink Floyd concert isn't a show, it's an outer body experience. The light show between the lasers and the light colors and fog is insane, fantastic.
Love this song have you done shine you crazy diamond it’s a masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pink Floyd was amongst the early innovators of the use of lazer light shows and always have an incredible stage setup.
From the same Pulse concert in 1994, check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL. 3 members of Pink Floyd from the 1960’s performed at Pulse: David Gilmour, Richard Wright (keyboards), and Nick Mason (drums). All 3 would have been around 50 years old at the time of Pulse.
If you want to see what “alien guitar” sounds like, watch “keep talking” from this same PULSE concert. David’s guitar takes you to another dimension.
Greatest solo ever written in my opinion
I wasn't at the show filmed for this video, but I WAS there in 1994, when this tour came to Pittsburgh. It was absolutely amazing, and I'm so happy that fine people like yourselves continue to enjoy Pink Floyd.
I saw this live at Arrowhead stadium back in the 90s. It was ridiculous. Gilmour is a guitar god in most people's books. His Black Fender stratocaster was sold and was the most expensive guitar ever. He recorded dark side of the moon, wish you were here, and the wall with it. Fun fact
Love watching you grow in to the grateful Floyd fan!
I was lucky enough to see their Division Bell tour live at Mile High Stadium.
Comfortably Numb was definitely one of the high points of that event...when the mirror ball is lit is an amazing moment. Even more amazing, the intensity of the light within the ball! Literally as bright as the sun!
It loses a little of the impact on the small screen and indoors... coupled with the blistering guitar solo... priceless!
Every time I react to Pink Floyd I'm amazed. I said my last reaction they're by far the best live concert band. Seeing this only backs what im saying. Great video. Good reaction! You guys are positive people keep it up
27 years ago this week I got to see this show. Truly the best I ever experienced.
Ooohh. This is a pleasant surprise! Nice Pappa Magnolia.
The lyrics tell you a story, but the guitar solo has you thinking of your own story.
I love watching you experience the music of my generation. You 2 got it! I could see it in your reaction you were transported!
This song still gives goosebumps. I'm so glad you guys liked it.
I saw that concert live. Hands down best ever!!! Goose bumps every time I see this video. David Gilmore is incredible
I was there for that concert. The mirror ball was actually shrouded so from where I was sitting it wasn’t evident what it was. When it lowered from the shroud and that mirror ball effect lit the auditorium it blew me away. I’ve seen this footage many times and it still gives me a buzz of emotion. Also, I don’t know if you realise how much that circular projection screen moves during the concert, sometimes being vertical and sometimes horizontal. DG is not just an incredible guitarist, but sings and composes too. He also plays a mean slide guitar.
I saw the concert at Earles Court. I always loved the finale at Floyd concerts because there was always a white light feature. I knew there would be a whopper at this one and was expecting something from behind the stage. However there was a huge hidden black-curtained thing suspended at the height of the arena, but it was behind us where we were sitting. When the finale got going everyone stood up and we were facing backwards to see the alien glitterball. I remember when it opened, the light was incredibly bright and the heat from it was astonishing. The film doesn’t bring over how big the ball was or how powerful the spectacle.
You have to watch this show, the whole show, multiple times through, so you get all of it; the music, the lights, the set, the videos, the crowd, etc. It's so amazing.
Every time I see and hear this solo-outro, it gets me short of breath, lump in my throat and tears in my eyes......simply magnificent and it wouldn't it have been wonderful to be there to witness, see and hear this spectacle of live performance unlikey to be surpassed in this kind of genre
T's reaction during the second solo was exactly how I was at this concert in 94 closing my eyes to enjoy the guitar while occasionally opening my eyes to see the show
Impossible to tire of this live performance,unreal
Welcome to the Pink Floyd family - enjoy your journey exploring the best band ever!
This is proof that music speaks to our souls!
Saw them performing "The Wall" in LA in Feb. 1980. The guitar solo was performed from atop a 40' high wall that had been build across the stage. Best concert I ever attended, hands down!
Watching you 2 enjoy one of my favorite songs ever...just added even more to my enjoyment. David's solo here is always at or near the top of every "top guitar solos ever" list.
No one can say Pink Floyd doesn't pull out all the stops when they put on an arena concert.
Grabs your soul and brings emotions that no other song can do! Beautiful. Thank you.
I’ve seen every Floyd concert more than once, if they played multiple nights. Everyone of them top my list of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Nothing comes close. I saw Pulse in the old Joe Robbie stadium in south Florida and took a buddy with me who’d never seen them before. His mind was completely blown by their performance.
I was 22 yrs old , I was there !!! I can tell you I still cant believe what I saw . All I can tell you is there was not a dry eye in that whole place. It was a magical emotional roller coaster. All I can say is what Saw was something I will never see anything like it ,ever again. Greatest band ever album and especially live. PINK FLOYD !!!!!
Everything from this concert is amazing, but this one and Sorrow in particular just kill me every time.
It makes me so happy to see people discovering Pink Floyd. I've never been able to find the words for how Pink Floyd makes me feel, but when I see it in someone else I know. They have so many amazing songs, some are soft and slow, some are bluesy, some are hard rocking. You'll get lots of input I'm sure about what songs to listen to next, but just know that they're all hugely worth it.
✌❤🖖
Saw them in Vancouver.
The ball spinning... and then it dropped !
Then at the top, it spun around differently. ;-)
I was sooo incredibly fortunate to see them on this tour in Philly. There's an awesome DVD of the entire concert. You guys should react to the whole show!!!
Your smiles are infectious - and in all the right places. So good to see people just enjoying incredible musicality.
Nobody ever says it, but what a light show, and what great backing vocals by the three ladies.
I was lucky enough to see this tour on ‘94. Single handedly the best concert experience I’ve ever had.
Nooooooo!! I'm with you!! I get absolutely LOST in David's guitar solo. That stage could be dark for all I care. The light show is a cherry on top. That solo is everything. David absolutely must be in the conversation of greatest guitartists along with Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eddie Van Halen (I could go on) -- all have different styles in their genre but their individual solos they have performed are epic! I love that you're on a journey listening to them YOURSELF so you can decide where these greats are in your heart.
Listening to Comfortably Numb and then watching this performance can only be compared to watching the Sistine Chapel being painted in real time. Magic.
I got a real kick out of this review. It was very sincere and honest. Unexpected and appreciated. They recognize great music. I will search for more of their reviews because they come across legit.
Dont fret. All 3 surviving members tour on their own. I saw both David Gilmour and Roger Waters a few yrs back. David is mesmerizing and worth every penny. Go if you can!
Yeahh i totally agree with you bro... david is the bet guitarist of all times and thats all nothing more nothing less
Since Gilmour auctioned all his studio and stage guitars for charity, you won’t be seeing him solo anymore I’m afraid.
@@HogarthsAstrophotography and you know this because?????? Last I heard he had leftovers from rattle that lock that he would be releasing and touring again after that. So are you just guessing this? Or is there some factual basis for this.
@@dwoehrma no i was making a guess from the sale of 99% of his guitars alot he uses on tour that there would be no more. Just my speculation really. Hope I’m wrong
So lovely hearing the charming young lady say "come get me". They already have you dear girl. So nice to see this music still impacting people. There is a unity amongst musicians and music lovers that is unparalleled in the arts. It can hit you so hard. It can actually alter you. Not just this track, but in general. Music can truly be life altering. Loads of love to the two of you. You get it. I can see the gentleman getting lost in the pure beauty of the song. The young lady is taking in the visual artistry and musicality in equal measure it appears. Deepest regards from the UK. Cheers. BAx 🇪🇺🇬🇧
You all did a great reaction to this. I saw Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at the Alamodome in San Antonio with 47,000 fans. I had 18th row seats on floor and it was phenomenal. They played the entire album Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish in the first set, and the second set included songs from The Division Bell and other popular songs. If you want to see the ultimate light show from this concert check out "Run Like Hell", which was the encore and final song of the show!
Gilmour's second solo is man's gift to God.
this guitar solo was rated as one of the best live solo's of all time!
Fantastic performance pink floyd are master musicians i love both of your responses, there's nothing like a pink floyd show keep on rockin 🤟
"High Hopes" at the same concert is just as good.
You nailed Floyd perfectly !!! An unbeatable band ... thanks for true reaction ...
I am soooo glad you guys enjoyed this!!!! 🤗 Thanks for reacting to this. You are great!!! Try Us and Them and Wish You Were Here by Floyd!!
I have probably been to over 60 concerts in my life but the most memorable and greatest experience I have had was seeing them in 1975 in a soccer stadium in Hamilton Canada. the atmosphere and the total experience I hard to describe but I am very fortunate to have seen this amazing band
As a metalhead my entire life / Guitar player for most of my adult life, I can truly say that Gilmour is DENIETLY up there as a guitar player, top 5 for me! Pink Floyd in my ears/eyes is the most professional and spectacular rock band in the history of Rock, hands down!
The best version of Comfortably Numb and a fantastic reaction to it!! Thank you so much for not interrupting Gilmour's solos!!
On Roger Waters (one of the founding members of Pink Floyd and the creative force behind the band) last concert suddenly the pyramid from Dark Side of the Moon suddenly appears above our heads, it was a peak experience! No other band like Pink Floyd, this in 2019
David Gilmour is my #1 guitar player. Give me this feel and taste and emotion over the speed playing guitar technicians any day of the week.
This is such an amazing song all by itself. Seeing this in concert, the incredible set they made and the experience Pink Floyd gives you.. Then with this extended guitar solo, this is one of the greatest performances ever.
Now, please check into my patreon requests.. I still have so many in there.. See you again soon.
Love you guys. You can always tell reactors who've never been to a Pink Floyd concert though. People who close their eyes, and miss all the visuals. I was at this show. It cost me $2/minute, or 3.33 cents per second. I did my best not to blink the whole time. No way in hell was I going to miss a single aspect of it. LOL!
You’ve found heaven!
You asked for suggestions, so I say High Hopes, Sorrow, Shine On You Crazy Diamond and One of These Days from the same Pulse concert.
OMG, I'm 54, I've seen them live twice. There is nothing else that compares to it on a spiritual level. It is all encompassing. Closest is Grateful Dead live back in the day. Floyd was meticulous about live sound. Being at a live Floyd show was like wearing headphones. Thank you.
