I've seen these guys four times in concert!!!! 1974 - "Dark Side of The Moon" 1977 - " In the Flesh tour" They played all of , "Animals", all of " Wish You Were Here" & 1/2 of DSOTM for the encour!! 1987 " momentary lapse of Reason tour. 1994 Pulse!!!! I may have mentioned these concerts in previous comments to you guys however, I've seen everybody from ACDC to Zeppelin Plus everyone alphabetically in between and nobody puts on a show that looks and sounds and feels as good as a Pink Floyd concert!!! My wife has been to three of those 4 concerts one as my girlfriend and two as my wife and she used to say the same thing! She's seen more concerts than I have!!
Wow you gotta be up there in age like me🙃 Seen them all also where did you see In the Flesh? Me lakefront stadium Ohio 77' The tickets was $9.50 🤩 Also seen ALL Rogers tours The Pros and Cons in Ontario Canada with Clapton gonna check out Not A Drill this summer Pittsburgh Stay Safe
@@jdennyan4722 Saw them in the colosseum called the madhouse on McDowell where the Phx Suns used to play. It was so intense with the lights, the incredibly powerful clean clear sound plus bizarre & strange animation timed perfectly to the music!! Saw numerous people being carried or helped out by either security or paramedics. Some took some kind of hallucinogen and the intensity of the show freaked them out!! That's why I so wish they would have filmed this professionally! All I can think of is if they did make a video aliens must have stolen it!
@@jonhenke1504 Gotta agree about the hallucinating Drugs😏 they actually had Fireworks when they exploded came down in the form of Sheep, Along with the other floats it was Killer! also seen Rogers The Wall in PPG arena still was a cool show, Gonna check Roger's Not a Drill tour this summer, Check out the pics of my Van. ✌out
Having seen the movie a number of times in the 80s was found to be a moving experience, so buying the vinyl had to be done and later the movie dvd . This is one of pink floyds greatest achievements in my eyes. But to take a sound track and turn it into a film in the 70s with no cgi. Just incredible. Can only be viewed on big screen . Please if you haven't seen it . Find it and watch it on the biggest screen and audio you can find . Keep smiling everyone
As has been stated, another important difference between the studio and live versions is the ominous voice of Rodger Waters doing the voice of the doctor in the verses. He was indeed the band's lyrical and conceptual leader, whose artistic voice was given so much more power and weight due to the brilliant musicianship around him. Not to mention Gilmour's co-production contributions. Would love to see your reaction to the vinyl "The Wall" album. You'll find this song takes on added meaning and significance within the context of the album.
You should try *The Warning* - 3 sisters who rock hard. Their 2014 cover of 'Enter Sandman' went viral (23 million views) and got them noticed by Metallica when they were 14, 12, and 9 years old. But that was then - this is now: 'Evolve', 'Disciple', or 'Animosity' for some of their newer stuff.
This track is just beautiful and a light(er) spot in an album that gets very heavy, it got me through my teens and is my goto album when I am struggling mentally. I was lucky enough to see it Live in 81 and when Roger Waters did it live from the Berlin Wall in 1990. It has never lost its impact even after over 42 years, a true classic track from a true Classic album
Much has been written about this song, as it is one of Pink Floyd's most famous songs. There was no warm relationship between the band members at the time, and they often argued when making music. Everyone had a different opinion. Waters and Gilmour argued a lot about what this song should be. Waters wanted the guitar solo to be right at the beginning, which Gilmour disagreed with. Eventually Bob Ezrin (producer) had to step in and together they came up with this compromise that was more like David Gilmour's original idea. The Wall was now effectively a project of Waters himself. During the making of the album, relations became so strained that Waters then fired Rick Wright (keyboardist) from the band, but he remained on set as a musician. Ironically, it was Wright who was the only one of the band members who made money from The Wall's concerts - the others were faced with the enormous costs of the most elaborate concert performances in the band's history. It's actually great how everyone is arguing over the meaning of the lyrics of this song. Pink Floyd never explained it on purpose. Some say it was inspired by Roger Waters' experience at the 1977 "Animals" concert in Philadelphia, when he had to be treated by a doctor for jaundice before the concert and was unwell. Some see it as a reference to Syd Barrett and his drug use. It's interesting...
It is near to impossible to rank any Pink Floyd song as each is an experience unique to itself. Compositions breathe with the influence of each band member across their music catalogue. Each piece is emotively and spiritually charged through Gilmour and Wright, with Mason, the sure solid heartbeat along with Waters Bass. The gritty sociopolitical statements from Waters too, cause much introspective thought and social reflection. For me, personally, they have caused many a pause for thought across my life and in many ways, as a result, influenced my decisions.
The Strings are the biggest difference between the studio version and any live version of this song imo. The orchestra section sections were Roger Waters idea and he and David Gilmour went round and round arguing about including it in the final recording, Waters wanted the orchestra and Gilmour wanted a more stripped down version without the orchestra. Waters won that argument, (one of many arguments between the two during these years), Gilmour preferred a more Rock sounding version without the Strings. He got part of what he wanted in the ending solo, where it's just guitars, bass and drums without the Strings.
Great reaction to a masterpiece guys. I would like to mention the studio version has the legendary Roger Waters singing the 1st and 3rd parts of Comfortably Numb. I love Gilmour, but Waters wrote the lyrics, as he did for most of the Floyd albums. He was the creative genius after Syd Barret left following their 1st album. Rogers left the ban after the Final Cut in 1982. Love him or hate him, he was the leader of Pink Floyd during their peak years.
The Wall is much the better story. Dark Side isn't so much a story as it is a thematically cohesive outline. The Wall really should be approached beginning to end. It will put the song in an understandable context.
studio version all day it's a masterpiece,the numerous touches in this song are just jawdopping.the whole album is artwork,greatest band ever lived
best song ever!

Can’t go wrong with Pink Floyd

Great reaction, as always. You guys need to react to ‘Shine on you crazy Diamond’ from the Pulse concert. It was the opening song. It’s incredible.
This album cover has simply become their de facto logo for the band. That’s probably why the TH-camr used it.

Dear mr Beards, I would still request Manowar - Warriors of the World United (Live). It would rock! Thank you.
We're more like frogs in a pot.
