I was excited about going to this concert, but none of my friends were interested, so I went by myself and had a fantastic time. After the concert, I decided it was time to find some better friends.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
😂
Facts..😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
still call them friends....? haha right ✅️
nobody talks about the speakers: 2 towers next to the stage, 1 towers on each side, and 2 towers in your back. WE were INSIDE the music 🥰 i am 56 and i have seen them live 7 times....nothing beats PF.
Oh what???? 7 times??? Faaaark!!! I've always missed them
I'm so spewing
Can we swap memories?
A reporter once asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world and he said you best ask David Gilmore.
Such a great statement. With hearing Clapton trying to be the lead on waters’ pros and cons of hitchhiking, you can hear how outmatched he is compared to Gilmore. Taking nothing from Clapton, but trying to capture the emotion needed to express Rogers’ ideas is no easy task. Gilmore reigns supreme in the emotional expression category with that instrument and it’s not even close.
Actually he said that about Terry Kath of Chicago.
cough cough Gilmour cough.
The mark of a master!
Then they asked David Gilmore and he said tommy Emanuel was the best
saying it sounds like a fevered dream was such a perfect description
the stunned silence at the end of that facemelting solo 🤣
My husband was offered $900 for his ticket to The Wall concert at Nassau Colosseum in 1980 and turned it down. I always thought he was crazy until I saw the Pulse tour video.
I was at one of these concerts, and I can guarantee that it was an experience like no other
Yes mate. The best gig I've ever been to, before & since! What a journey on a double-decker bus from Glasgow-London & return... I've never been on a bus since LOL. But we all had a good smoke haha. Great memories never to be repeated actually!
Totally agree. I saw this tour in DC, and it was absolutely mind-blowing. Edit: forgot to mention that the sound quality in the stadium was amazing. Crystal clear surround sound
I seen them on this tour in Earls Court London. Best concert I've attended and I've been to many 🙂
Same. April 1994 in San Diego. I also still have the Pulse CD with the blinking LED.
You are a tuly blessed man for seeing this show.
I like how you guys replayed the short solo, not even realizing what was yet to come.
I can't imagine what it's like to put that many people into a trance and blow their minds like that
Man what a feeling
The big disco ball is highly symbolic.
First of all, it wasn't seen until the lights spotted it. It was simply not there. It was hidden in a box in the ceilling. So when it got lit, you can understand why the audience went wild.
When it opens up and show the shining diamond that's inside, a direct reference to Shine On Your Crazy Diamond (which refer to Syd Barrett), the fans understands!
From what I've seen, it could be the greatest indoor show ever.
I was in the hospital and was having a heart attack. The Rapid Response team tried glycercine spray and just about had the paddles ready when they gave me a doze of morphine intraveonously. and that cease the cardiac issue and knocked and knocked me out. Apparently as I was waking up, I was singing "Comfortably Numb".
What is in the water in England the past 60+ years? First you have the Beatles, then The Who, then Pink Floyd, then the greatest band to ever grace Planet Earth, Led Zeppelin, and now you have one of the top vocalists ever in Lucy Thomas?!! What gives?!!
Guys…..you just witnessed, in my opinion, the greatest live guitar solo of all time. There are many many great solos out there, jazz, blues, rock, etc…..but that hits your soul. The emotion and musical magic of that solo, has no equal. YOU MUST DO MORE FROM THIS ALBUM. Try Sorrow next.👍😍🇨🇦
You're not alone, I saw this tour and was blown away by the light show, but never heard Gilmour make that axe cry like this before, and I saw The Wall too in 1980.
Raymond - my opinion also, best solo ever.
You're absolutely right ✅️ not taking away from others, BUT THIS GUITAR SOLO WOW! THE BEST
It’s not an opinion. It’s facts.
This song, the solo specifically, this performance even more specifically, makes me cry. Every single time
Not just simply a British band, but the greatest Rock band in all of existence. My absolute #1 favorite. I saw Pink Floyd in the Summer of 1994 on the *Division Bell* tour (from which the *Pulse* album the following year was made) at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford NJ. Hands-down the greatest concert I've ever been to. Up till then, Pink Floyd had always been one of my 5 favorite bands of all-time but that concert proved that they were the absolute best and always will be. They became my #1 favorite band of all-time and are still that now, nearly 30 full years since that amazing show. I ❤ Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd and Classic Prog is always better Live, Prog has the Greatest musicians !! 👍🎼🎸🎹🥁🎻🎤🎶
Got to see them twice… once in England and once here in Montreal,Canada and both times they blew us away.
Pink Floyd!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Brit Floyd will be touring in 2023. They do an incredible show. Don't miss out
I just saw them a few weeks ago...they are amazing.
Pink Floyd Forever Legend !!!!!
Hi! I would like to share my personal experience with you. I was present on that particular day, even though I was quite young. After the concert, we strolled in silence, reflecting on the phenomenal performance, looking at the stage sometimes, just to remember this moment forever before we left for good. I also recall the scent of joints, particularly near the stage (yes, it was prohibited, but… it’s Pink Floyd, isn’t it? Some fans couldn’t help themselves!). Now, whenever I listen to this guitar solo, I’m reminded of how the sound enveloped us: it was awe-inspiring, immense, massive, imposing, powerful, yet impeccably clear! It was incredibly striking and overwhelming. It felt as if the grand, gigantic, potent, and majestic Pink Floyd machine was directly linked to our souls! And I can assure you, we were all resonating.
Most of the time, during a concert, people are engaged in conversations, laughter, and enjoying themselves; but during this concert, everyone was utterly captivated. There were no disruptive or bothersome individuals. Everyone was simply "in sync". It was as if we were in an alternate universe where everything was utterly distinct. It was an extraordinary, surreal, and unique experience, almost "magical", so to speak. And the crowd was massive, with around 16,300 attendees. I’ve held onto the tickets, by the way, hehe - And to this day, I take pride in declaring, _"I WAS THERE, WITH PINK FLOYD THAT DAY!"_
I couldn't afford to go to the Earl's Court Pulse concert, so I stood in awe in Battersea Park and watched the laser show light up the Misty northern sky. It was close enough to hear the music drifting over to me on the South side of the River Thames. It was a special moment in the history of music and I was overjoyed when I got myself a copy of the live album later.
You don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them.
that second solo is the most gut wrenching solo i have ever heard. Its such an amazing song. Great job giving it its credit.
Dave Gilmore is a GOD he's earned his place xxx THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING PART MY LIFE XXXX RESPECT
Great performance
I was there and it was one hell of a concert. I had to go to the toilet for a pee during one of the songs. Thankfully it was empty. I started to relieve myself when an elderly guy stood next to me. I glanced to my left and it was no other than George Martin. While we were washing our hands I asked him if he was enjoying the show. He said "yes, they are very good". He said goodbye and left.
I once played this song to a girlfriend that I had. And after listening to it, she turned to me and said, "You actually like that song?" That is when I slowed down the car. Came to a stop. Opened my door. Walked over to her side. Kindly opened her door. And kindly said, "Peace Out Girl!"
The whole concert is on this level, literally every song is a masterpiece. Sorrow, High Hopes, Run Like Hell, Money,... heck, do the whole concert, you won't regret it.
^^^^^TRUTH^^^^
I don't know why, i think the solo from High Hopes is simmilar to the first solo from Comfortably Numb, it's only a feeling.
I took three generations of my family to see this, at the end they all looked at me as if to say, what the fuck have you done to me, please watch the whole concert, and enjoy the trip.
Music of the gods performed by the gods of music
Pink Floyd fans know you don't listen to there music you FEEL there music
I appreciate that you didn't pause this legendary solo for some random comments like other reactors. It needs to be heard in full without pause
It's sacrilegious to interrupt that solo!
I compare pausing this song to having your partner get up to make coffee in the middle of sex. It's just something you don't do. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
Yes, very important
Agree... Lots of these do that. For the great songs, really disrupts the vibe
As with all Pink Floyd concert's, no charge for the tear's,goose bump's and awe.
I saw The Floyd live, twice in the 70s. Dark Side of The Moon was the first album I ever bought when I was 15 years old. But what surprises me is that the drummer looks like my high school math teacher. ✌🎸
That was the second from last encore. The final one is Run Like Hell. That's how you end a performance, send the audience home stunned.
Well guys... you could do the epic 2016 version in Pompeii. Gilmour returned to the venue were they performed ECHOES LIVE 1972 **Just think about that for a second.** that would be 48 years later. And it it amazing.
I was at the Pontiac silver dome when I saw them I have seen a lot of bands but this is still the best concert I have ever seen
I saw this concert twice, on May 23 and 24, 1994, Montreal Olympic Stadium. My employer (Labatt Breweries of Canada) was the sponsor for the three shows in Montreal, they were offering employees discounted tickets, in addition to a draw of a few dozen tickets. I bought mine for May 23 and I won those (a pair) for May 24. Some people have asked me, "Why are you going to see this show twice?" When they finally saw the DVD of this show a few years later, they understood why I was there twice.
And just imagine, that was only the FIRST encore song! How can you possibly follow that up? Now you HAVE to watch Run Like Hell from Pulse!!!
Saw this concert at Foxboro stadium in '94. It was the only concert I ever saw straight. I was with my son who was 16 and a rabid Floyd fan like me. We had the best time of our lives.
I saw it all with a group of friends and it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen...I swear we didn't blink from the start. The sound was absolutely huge, but as clear as a bell. It took you over and for 2.5 hours you went 'Somewhere else"...I'll never forget that experience as long as i live and it's awesome to watch young peoples reactions when they experience the very best of the best..Make some time to watch the whole "Pulse" concert...One of the girls with us discribed the whole concert as 'Orgasmic'...A very special night it was...$AU37.50 a ticket
been a floyd fan for over 40 years fav band fav song was lucky to them live the best ever
Saw this tour in 94 at sun devil stadium in Tempe, AZ. So good. Ended up being their last tour.
I stood 10m from David as he played that, if I close my eyes I can still remember it.
Greatest guitar solo, ever.
No one puts on a better concert than Pink Floyd. No one
Not true. I was at the Melbourne leg of the Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour (that's the Pulse Tour, but its real name). Two years before, I saw the end of the Brothers In Arms tour by Dire Straits her in Melbourne. It was slightly better. Some stats, that Dire Straits tour broke a world record for the longest running set of dates in a capital city, until Floyd broke it and I was at both opening shows. I think it was 12 and 15 dates respectively. We Melbourne morons love a good show. I think the record stood until a few years back when it was beaten at 18 dates by some girl who calls herself Punk, or P!nk or something. I wasn't there, but my ex-wife was, and we had a printout shot of her on a VERY HIGH trapeze on the fridge for months.
led zeppelin....gilmour is great but Pink Floyd is so depressing, every song lyrics, etc...just depressing. blah.
Perfectly said 👍🎶💛
There is nothing like a live Pink Floyd concert.
80,000 lights in that show! Unreal.
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
I've seen pink Floyd 4 times there is nothing like it in the world I'm 63 now I've been listening to them since I was 16 they still my favorite band
I had the good fortune to have sat through 4 stadium shows on four different tours. The parties began the day before, the performance turned you into mush, and on the third day you finally came down!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
I wasn't at this performance, but I was at their performance at Texas Stadium... Essentially the same concert. And, yes, life changing. What you don't get from this video is that there are speakers all around the the stadium, making it a 360 degree experience. Freaking amazing sound!!!!!
I was blessed to see Pink Floyd in 1977 at Soldier Field in Chicago, along with 89,999 of my fellow Floyd Fans. Tickets were $10.60. In the Flesh Tour- They played all of Animals, all of Wish you were here and Money for an Encore.
Oh damn, this one has even more sax!!!! Shine on You Crazy Diamond and do it with the official video! Blow your minds!
I was at one of the pulse concerts in Indianapolis Indiana. One of my friends was friends with David Gilmore. We are from Kentucky. She actually coordinated their hotel stays when they were touring. David Gilmore loved Kentucky and our moonshine. Once they were on tour they would send her 6 tickets and 2 backstage passes. They knew she would bring them a pint of moonshine. They didn't get sloppy drunk but they did enjoy sipping. Because of her I was able to see them 4 times live and I got to meet them once.
I was lucky enough to be there in 1994 I was in row 27...It was the best night of my life.
I cried my eyes out for alot of songs due to the performance and the delivery... Perfect in every way
I was at this concert.. I saw them in Indianapolis when they did the Pulse tour. It was exactly like what you just saw in the video. It was beautiful and it was the best concert I have ever been to. Pink Floyd is a whole journey to take. Start with their first album back in the 60's and work your way up.
I saw it in 1994 at 3 rivers stadium, I literally start crying every time I hear this version.
This was part of the encore. It started with "Wish You Were Here", which fed straight in to "Comfortably Numb", and finally "Run Like Hell" to wrap up the show. If you thought the lights were good in Comfortably Numb, wait into you've seen "Run Like Hell". This was a ground breaking show. PF liked what Marc Brickman had done as an assistant lighting director at a previous gig when he stepped in to resolve a problem, and asked him to design the lighting for the Pulse Tour. When he asked about the budget, he was told there wasn't one, just see what you can come up with, and this is what happens when you give a talented lighting designer a brief with no budgetary constraints. The show used a new experimental laser, and they had the whole world's entire supply, with no spares. The band went to extraordinary lengths to get superb sound quality at high volume. I'm told your whole rib cage resonated with the base, but with no hint of distortion. That's what you get from a 220,000 watt surround sound system. They had 3 rigs. One in use, one being dismantled from the previous venue, and another being assembled at the next one. That was too big a drain on the local electricity supply grid, so they had 4 industrial generators running behind the show venue. Altogether they had 700 tons of gear on 33 huge trucks. Everyone left in silence, unable to comprehend what they had just experienced. If they ever invent time travel, that's the first gig I'm going back to experience!
Was at Earl's Court in '94 and would gladly sell my soul to see it once again, a friend went 4 nights in a row, slept rough to save money for the tickets ( he also hitched from Central Scotland to Berlin for the Wall concert) .
The concert here was at Earls Court in England. Guys, this remains the only concert where I was so overwhelmed, I cried. The tickets I got were under 200 quid (British pounds...Maybe $270 back then) Nothing I'll ever see again will ever top this.
It does my old heart good to see men of this generation enjoying music of my generation. One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.
I saw this tour atTampa Stadium in 1994.
I’ve been to hundreds of concerts, saw all of the biggest bands and this is still the one.
I have seen them twice. And one of the shows was the rare playing of the Dark Side of the Moon in one setting. Magical. They do not play music, they channel the univerese into instruments....and you walk away a changed human being.
The greatest solo of all time for me! David Gilmour never shreds but he squeezes every drop of soul and emotion from those strings. Greatest of all time for me! Nobody better
no. not the greatest solo, it's not even that difficult to play.
@@christopherone1 what does difficulty have to do with it being a great solo lmao? It certainly is one of the greatest
@@goldenboy140 do you think I care what your opinion is, bwhahahha.
@@christopherone1he said greatest, not most difficult. I know probably thousands of solos, and yes, there are many more technically impressive solos, but this is the one that makes me cry. Every. Damn. Time.
You just watched the greatest performance of the greatest guitar solo ever played. You guys couldn’t even believe what you saw. Amazing.
By far the best version of this song, can't wait to see this one!
That 'life-changing-experience' was seen live twice in my youth and it still brings tears to these 60 yo eyes
David rips his heart and soul, serves it directly to ours, deeply out of deepness and leaves us rethinking our existence. This is how the music is supposed to speak to us.
Saw this tour in Tampa. Lifelong Floyd fan. EVERYTIME I listen to this song it brings me to tears.
The difference between pink floyd and ALL other groups is that pink floyd produced cerebral high class music.
I've watched it maybe 200 times, and I still come away emotional
I have been listening to this song since I was eight years old. At eight years old, I remember this song making me very emotional. It’s so powerful.
I was privileged enough to see this show at another venue. That was my 4th a final time seeing PF.
They are harmonizing because those lines used to be sung by Roger Waters.
David Gilmour's singing voice is amazing! Especially for his age at the time this was recorded.
One of the best Pink Floyd concerts, Pink Floyd is famous for its lengthy compositions and thematic suites of songs, sound experiments, philosophical lyrics, album cover design and grandiose concert shows, this concert is a confirmation of this.
Thanks guys "View From The 502" from Germany for the good music: Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb! One of the best songs live all time! 🤟
The studio version features Roger Waters on the verse. He left in 1985. This tour occurred in 94 so that's Richard Wright and a couple of supporting musicians harmonizing his part. And of course Gilmour is Gilmour. Saw this at Soldier Field in Chicago that year. Beyond epic. Transcendent.
I prefer the studio version myself but this is the best live performance I have ever seen.
And don't forget, Nick Mason is on drums.
I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd in concert twice, and both shows were a feast for the ears and the eyes. By the way, guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas.
I saw that concert in Montpellier in France and that was the best concert I had ever seen. Everything was awesome : the lights, the crazy things happening for each song, but the most important, the sound. They had found the best sound engeneers ever. The concert was outside in Montpellier, in campaign, a huge field. As there was no first part, they had to wait for dark night to begin, in July. While we were waiting, sat on the grass, we could hear sounds of campaign, bees, birds, rivers, village bells... That evening was magical !
Thanks a lot for this gift... I follow you for a moment, I love your reactions, you're so nice... I was waiting for this reaction and you projected to do it for Christmas, as a gift, that's one for me because, once again, and especially that one, you were amazing. Yes, this solo is crazy, David Gilmour is a story teller with his guitar, not only a performer. I saw another video of this concert song but in another place, the solo is not the same, except at the beginning for the studio version covered.
Thanks again, guys, for this beautiful and touching moment. Love from France 🇫🇷😘💖.
Isabelle, an old Grey here, memories are wonderful, mid 70s, had a few friends from the States staying with us in London, Beautiful sunny Saturday morning, eventually got ourselves together and made our way to Wembley stadium.....Nils Lofgren...AC/DC....The Who...and as the sun was setting the Floyd came on...Peace.
Same experience here, I saw this tour in Mexico City, open arena (same stadium that is now part of the F1 track) and about 80,000 people in extasis and communion. The sound was a marvel as all the rest of the performance. best concert ever, bar none.
Saw them in Tampa on this tour. For the time it was and still is the best sound I've ever heard for a live show. Surround sound, at that time, was amazing in Tampa, in a football stadium.
I had the chance to see Pink Floyd live in 1994 in Montreal, during "The Division Bell Tour", better known as "Pulse Concert".
I had purchased tickets for the May 23 show and my employer was raffling tickets as the main sponsor of this tour in Canada.
I won a pair of tickets for the May 24 show, which allowed me to see this show twice, which I have never regretted.
Thanks for sharing! Awesome.
Dude in the middle had the stank face on the whole time....the whole PULSE CONCERT IS A KILLER.
Saw this at Clemson, South Carolina from the 5th row center. This was Epic Pink Floyd. David Gilmour's towering guitar, the fantastic lights going all around. Every song - the entire show was fantastic.
You said in the video that the crowd should have kept on applauding to prevent the band from leaving. Well believe it or not this was not the end of the concert, they went on to play "Run like hell" after this. I know because I was there! What a fantastic experience!
Gilmour main guitar is a Fender Stratocaster, occasionally he also uses a Fender Telecaster, and a Gibson Les Paul w/P90s. Many Rock aficionados say that solo is the greatest guitar solo of all time in Rock Music History!
This show is from their 1994 Pulse concert at Earls Court, London, it's just another in a long line of spectacular Pink Floyd performances. Another great thing at this particular show is, they do the whole "Dark Side of the Moon" album, from beginning to end, it's incredible!
Other phenomenal performances from this concert are, "Sorrow", "High Hopes", "Money", "Learning to fly", "Time", "Run Like Hell", and of course the Masterpiece, "Shine on you Crazy Diamond".
The title, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", is an acrostic, meaning that some of the letters spell something else that has a relationship to the acrostic, SOYCD. If you take the 1st, 3rd and 5th letters, it spells Syd, for Syd Barrett, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd in 1965. The song is all about Syd.
Many of PF songs are about Syd Barrett, virtually the whole "Wish You Were Here" album is about Barrett. He's the one they're "Wishing Were Here", He's the "Crazy Diamond'.
He started using, and abusing, LSD and other mind-altering drugs, heavily. He also had mental health issues too, these things forced him to leave the band by 1968.
Syd was a very close friend of the other band members, and with the guitarist that took his place in the band, David Gilmour. Gilmour took over for Syd fulltime in1968, he had been filling in for Syd for most all of 1967, or anytime Syd was unable to perform.
Many of PF songs are about Syd Barrett, virtually the whole "Wish You Were Here" album is about Barret
I saw them in 87, what a show. It was an EVENT
I got the pleasure to see them live in Canada at a soccer stadium and nothing compares to a concert of theirs. from start to finish you were totally emerged in the music. unbelievable
That was an eargasm and an eyegasm! Enjoyed your reaction guys. Ryan was almost speechless, lol. Pink Floyd in concert is an immersive experience. It is remarkable how good David Gilmour is. WOW!
nicely put!!!!!!!!!
One of the GREATEST songs written and performed, of all time. Pink Floyd takes you on a trip and then, brings you home, only to want another trip.
I was at that concert and it was absolutely amazing, if you want another one to blow you away then the next song, ' Run Like Hell ' will do it for you, it closes the show so they go all in.
Definitly. Also, the shows I saw, they played the complete 'Dark Side of the Moon'-album. Need I say more ...
There'll never be another band like pink Floyd period. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal
Pink Floyd in concert is like no other.
What you don't know... is the circle did something UNIQUE in this song. I saw them in '87 & '88, and it was almost the same show, without the bandshell. The circle was there the whole time, in the '87 '88 tour, showing videos, animation, light and laser effects. The following tour in '94 that I also saw featured the circle the same way. But it sometimes lowered behind the stage to let the bandshell show all the lights and lasers. Comfortably Numb was the 2nd of 3 encores... and this time, the circle leaned out, over the stage for the first time, and focused on Gilmore. For you... seeing JUST that video... missed out on the feeling when that epic circle did its most unique thing, yet.
Sadly, I think this was the remastered video, and I like the original, better... it showed more of the stage show, from a distance. In fact, both concert videos (Delicate Sound of Thunder '88 and Pulse '94) would be better, filmed ENTIRELY from the nose-bleed seats.
Also... about the disco ball... in the previous tour, it came up, in front of the circle, where it opened... and it was smaller. The video does not NEARLY capture what that really looked like. The spotlights flood the lens with light, but in reality, we all saw thousands of tiny dots of light, circling the arena. People were looking in all directions, when the stage lights burst back on. People in front of the disco ball had no idea where to look. The back was the best.
Oh... and before you get too jealous... Australian Pink Floyd does that show, live every year... and they do it well. I even like their new way they do Wish You Were Here better than Floyd's live versions. I don't want to spoil it... and if you plan to see them. Stop reading now. But no matter where you sit, and without use of video... you can see both guitar's strings, as they are plucked.
I got an A+ in college from this song. I was in child development class and our final hinged in tying drug abuse in youngsters to current life. This was around 1983. My roommate had the album, so I wrote down all the words to this. Made copies. Recorded this. I gave my presentation in class, then passed out the copies of words so everyone could follow along. Including my teacher. Then I played this song, and explained lyrics. At end, EVERYONE was silent and in a daze. I simply said. " We all just took a drug trip, but without the drugs tonight." The teacher looked at me and said, " You get am A+ for your final! I've NEVER seen or heard a presentation like this" Needless to say. Comfortably Numb is my favorite Pink Floyd song.
I saw Pink Floyd on this tour in 1994 in Atlanta and I was blown away. Pink Floyd knows their audience very well. I had consumed a decent amount of mushrooms and when the light show and the animatronics and that giant ball opened up I felt like I was in another dimension. I don’t miss the drugs but I miss concerts like this. Great reaction guys. Therefore guitar gods, and then there’s David Gilmour.
June, 1994 British Columbia, Canada.....BC Place Stadium, me and 54,000 of my closest friends were there. OMG it was amazing and as good as the video was the concert itself was soooooo much better than video and audio recordings can capture, Thanks so much for your amazing reactions, you guys are fun!!!
FEEL IT ,!! FOOD FOR YOUR SOUL XXX RESPECT PINK FLOYD THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING IN MY LIFE XXX
The story of song came about when Waters wasnt feeling well before a show at the Philly Spectrum and a doctor gave him a shot. “Relax, just a little pinprick” “It’ll get you through the show”His hands “felt like 2 balloons”. He was comfortably numb for the entire show.
Nick Mason (drums), Dave Gilmour (Guitar) and the late great Richard Wright (keyboards). What a team/group. Gilmour brilliant on guitar, but the others all contribute massively to the overall sound. Thanks guys.
I was there, and it still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. The whole show was just an experience that is such a masterpiece of light and sound. True greatness
The silence at the end of the video, as the three of you contemplate what you just witnessed and felt, was priceless.
It’s 1981……I watched Pink Floyd in a crowd of over 65,000 people. It was the greatest experience of my life. Once this song started almost, 50,000 joints were lit at the same time. Passed down the rows. I was so high at the end of the concert I couldn’t see straight. It was awesome!! Pink Floyd gives you a show for your money…..❤❤❤❤!
wooot
Just paused to say, that's not the solo guys, that was just the warm up. Just you wait for it. Gilmore makes it sing like nobody else!
Oh and I was at Earls Court in 1994. Still the best gig I ever saw, or ever will!
No that's a solo!! Good reaction guys, you looked stunned as I think you realised the undisputed greatness of what you were seeing.
