- Man I couldn't hold the tears back... I tried. That was a spiritual experience. I cannot believe how lucky the people were who saw this tour. I mean come on, that honestly can't be topped as a live performance.

It's rare to see anyone NOT getting emotional while watching this epic performance.
Yeah, this was basically a religious experience for folks, I'm guessing... for me included. I can't wait to hear more now.
I can’t help but get leaky eyes every time I see this performance, seen it hundreds of times now.
Dave Gilmore plugs his guitar straight into your soul
One of the best live performances ever. Shows the power of music.
How many times am I going to get shit in my fucking eye! Anyone who loves music, will be moved by this performance.
never apolpize for tears .... itś nothing more beautiful than reaching the highest emotional stage by masterpiece music
YOU JUST GOT BAPTIZED !!!! Tears are cleansing and at 63yrs, I cry every time someone new hears this classic and reacts the way you did.
Yeah, that was a baptism for sure. Bathed by the tears of my own demise. But hey, it was beautiful. Glad you enjoyed 😉
@@L33ReactsAs a guy "recovering" I imagine you have lived a few of the notes David was playing! I do🙏🐶😎🇺🇸 Spread the love Brother
76 y/o...saw Floyd twice, '74 and '94 pulse concert. Still brings tears after literally hundreds of listens. Always great to see this music still touches souls. Thanks.
Voted by fans and peer musicians around the world as the best guitar solo in rock history
I'm glad that you cried. I have attended 2 Pink Floyd gigs and I can confirm that Pink Floyd playing live is the 8th wonder of the world. No other band comes close.
I’m 72. This performance brings me to tears every time. It’s masterpiece.
78 here...same reaction every time. they ought to send this into deep space - any alien
The two best guitar solos ever, in one song
No that was not the closer, that would be " Run Like Hell". But before you even get to that awesome song, you simply MUST react to "SORROW" from the same concert. The intro and outdo are STUNNING!!!
A wholehearted reaction as expected bro! Don’t feel bad, we’ve all cried to this one.
The young bass player is Guy Pratt, who was married to Richard Wright’s daughter and a very accomplished musician
Every single song on this tour is a banger. I saw 2 shows in London, having stayed 2 days after the first one to try to get another ticket
As everyone left post show, there was near silence as we tried to digest what we had seen and heard
Eventually my buddy stopped and said to me - did we just really experience that?- and we hugged and smiled and sparked it another joint, having had.about 6 pre gig 😎
By the way, that mirror ball was about the size of a small house and its appearance caused a collective gasp!
Never been a show like it, never will be again
Glad you enjoyed
I am so damn jealous you got to see this... like what. That is amazing. I bet it was life changing lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Thank you as always 🙏🙏
Hell yeah!!!!
Dang what an experience
We were at Earls Court when, as the concert opened, a section of seating at the rear collapsed, so we all went home again and had to return the fol,lowing Monday for the re-scheduled show, it was still more than worth it. It was also my wife's first experience of PF, she was less keen to come back, but was glad she did in the end :-)
Amen.
If this does not bring tears to the eyes you ain't human.
One simply does not listen to Pink Floyd, one lives the experience
Newbie here. Having been a Floyd fan since 1967 I can totally relate to your reaction. I'm 71 years young and my last band covered this tune in 2021. Even playing it live I would get emotional. Gilmour's solo prowess is beyond comparison. His guitar is singing. It's talking. Sure, there are many guitar gods, but Gilmour is a singular phenom. Thank you very much for this honest reaction. I wish you all the best. God bless you, my new friend. God bless all here on the channel. Peace and love to all.
I am not an English speaker, my mother tongue is Spanish and I didn't need to understand the lyrics when I heard them for the first time. Music is for human beings and the language is universal Gilmour touches all parts of the spirit. They were one of the reasons I learn English because that beautiful music needs to be completely understood with lyrics too.
@@TheWiiuser90 Speaking as a lifelong musician (71 years young) your comment makes me smile. We are in total agreement, my Spanish friend. Music is a universal language. It's very primitive in its form of connection. I've read that music actually predates the development of spoken languages. it's a blessing we all can share. Be well, my friend. Peace and God bless.
I tear up every time I hear the line " When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I can not put my finger on it now, the child has grown - the dream is gone." Just a brilliant emotional song. Watch the even more impressive " David Gilmore At Pompeii " and experience this from a 2000 year old amphitheater....
Me too. That line, so much truth.
me too, one of the most poignant lines in music, in my opinion. Roger is a lyrical genius.
Me as well. Seismically sad lyrics when you are old enough to understand them.
Not the closer Run like hell was, this brings a tear to my eyes every time and I've seen it 100's of times so no need to apologies for the emotion Floyd has this effect on you.
65 and it still gives me the chills. I wouldn't trade the music and bands of my youth for anything. Long hair, tight bell bottom jeans and psychedelics. Brings me so much joy when the young ones get their minds blown. 💜
never apologise for tears, it means you are human
There are three original members on this show. Nick Mason (Drums percussion), Richard Wright (Keyboards vocals) and David Gilmour (Guitar vocals). This Pulse concert was for me their best live show.
I’ve been listening to this track for 0ver 30’s years…it still gets me every time. So good to see that it still moves people to this day 😊
Saw them in 1994, too. Best concert ever!
Lighting crew: What’s our budget?
Pink Floyd: YES! 😂
Just the gold plated copper vapor lasers that had never before seen the light of day outside of a physics lab cost $120K each, and this was 30 years ago.
The budget was Nicks GTO He put it up as collateral. Dave had snorted most of his money away. When Nick wanted to buy the car they said he was stupid as it cost him 35K back in 77
this song would bring tears to a glass eye
I was very fortunate to be in the audience for this !! One of the greatest experiences of my life. They also played the whole of Darkside of the moon - i can’t believe it is 30 years ago this year !!!!!!!
I may be old now but boy was I blessed to be a teen in the 70's. Our music was beyond outstanding, and I have no idea how many concerts I went to, including these Masters of Rock.
One of the amazing things about Floyd was not only the music but their epic visual performances at their concerts. The light show and visual effects all enhanced the experience to make it like nothing else you will ever see again.
David's guitar has an elegance,no other guitarist can or will ever match. Did you cry? David says he puts all of his emotions into his playng, they are felt in his every note. So tears are our way of feellng his emotions 🙏
You're right to be envious. The atmosphere at a Pink Floyd concert stays with you for life. I saw them in '88 and they already had the huge circle that doubles as a screen to play movie clips. In the queue to enter, they weren't letting glass in, so bottles of spirits were being passed back along the line. You'd take a slug, pass it back and repeat. Once inside, guys wandered among the crowd with their girlfriends on their shoulders, tossing joints to everyone who put their hand up. At one point on the screen a huge bomber aircraft appeared… just as the real thing actually flew low and slow over us at the outdoor venue. Fucking magic.
This song is the reason why I bought my daughter a Fender Stratocaster...mystic ice blue.....13 years ago....her most prized possession....Gilmour's right up there with the great Strat players....Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, etc. What a song...
Daves very last high notes before they crash to the end gives me goosebumps all over
Pink Floyd has got me through the rougher times of my life too Lee. Hang in there bro, there’s light ahead!
Thanks brother I appreciate that. I really hope so. 🙏
The younger person you mentioned was Guy Pratt, who took the place of Roger Waters on bass. He is Richard Wright's son in law, and a great bassist!
Seeing someone react to their first experience of this song and especially this performance takes me back to when I first heard and saw it. I absolutely sobbed with emotion and the force of emotive intent in the light/stage show. I missed the PULSE tour by two years (by age...I was 11 during the tour, and my first concert was at 13), but I think if I had witnessed this in real life, I would have collapsed in a hysterical mess of laughing, clapping, crying, and speaking in tongues
I saw this tour when I was living in Atlanta. When the show was over she looked at me and said, I'll never be able to explain this to anybody! Perfect explanation of the concert.
Hahaha right... how do you explain that? It's a spiritual experience.
His solos take your soul on a ride
Great reaction, David Gilmours solos have an effect on people. I highly recommend High Hopes same Pulse concert. But all the songs are gems 😊 , you can’t go wrong.
Thank you 🙏 definitely a tear jerker. I'll add it to the list thank you 😊
Pink Floyd is ART.
the legend goes that the stage manager came to the band before the concert and asked what kind of lightshow they wanted. the band handed over a blanko cheque and said: "you come up with something."
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome 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. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed. I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks
Very cool they hit Syracuse.
I seen them 3 times dark side of the moon, wish you were here and the wall tour! Best concerts ever!
The backup singers were stars themselves! Nobody less than Sam Brown was amongst them, who had had her own hit end of the 80ies. Watch „Great gig in the sky“, where they showcased the abilities of their „background“ singers on the Pulse Tour!
Àlso one of the other girls had a hit called dancing in the rain
Very few backing vocalists could pull off what 25 year old Clare Torry improvised in about 3 takes in a session where she was brought in by recording engineer Alan Parsons to see what she could do to add to the track they had been working on for about a year that was originally titled 'The Mortality Sequence,' she first did some spoken word scatting then was told 'no we don't want any words.'
When she finished after saying that she'd given it her best shot she was paid a £30 session fee, double the normal rate as it was on a Sunday and thought she'd failed and it wouldn't be used. It wasn't until she was in a record shop and heard it that she found out it was. She was given no credits on the album. It took a lawsuit to give her credit and some compensation as a cowriter of the song.
@@FooDogDat Oh ffs, cant people stfu about Claire f'ing Torry for once. It was a f**king album cut twenty five years before this. Just appreicate the PULSE gigs for what they were, cant you? Doing two or three takes on an album cut is not the same as doing the damn thing every night on a world tour.
You dont know whether any other singer could have done what Claire Torry did. In fact,, if I remember rightly in the DSOTM documentary, Claire herself had said she didnt expect to be called for this session, she was expecting Vicky Brown, Sam's mother to get the call instead. It could have just as easily have been Vicky Brown doing something completely different to what Claire did but thats not how life turned out.
Claire was called to that session, she did what she did and that was that. End of. And as great as it was, and remains, all it is is a studio cut. Nobody gives a s*** that you can read the wikipedia page about that track and spout it out on demand. Give it a floppin' rest already.
It's like if the plumber showed up and destroyed your house with arguably one of the greatest live guitar solos of all time.
"When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye..."
On Nick Mason, I saw him perform a few months ago. At 78, he still has that relaxed flow that sets the mood. Incredible.
Thank you for doing this reaction so quickly! I never get tired of watching this!! I get chills! David Gilmour's voice is still great even at this point in his career. There are other guitar players who may be more technically better players but no one can bring out the emotion that David Gilmour can evoke with his playing! He's a master! This performance is the best solo ever!! I read that Eric Clapton was once asked what it's like to be the best guitar player in the world and he responded you had better ask David Gilmour about that! Check out Sorrow next!!
That bass guitarist is Guy Pratt who replaced Roger Waters when Waters tried to disband Pink Floyd. He sued to disband the group and lost so they continued touring and producing music without him.
Believe me you are not alone. David Gilmour's guitar has such a unique and hauntingly beautiful sound. Still gets me every time...Happy you chose this version of the video. Love the ending, Gilmour knows that when he hits the last note its gonna go dark on stage so he just nods his head at the crowd a few times in appreciation as they are just goin nuts, surely knowing he has just laid down one of the most epic solos of all time...
Finally someone gives that stage appreciation . It is simple the best stage ever, nothing before or after comes close. 30years old technical extravaganza. I envy everyone who saw that live
This is one of those performances that you carry with you, you hold it in you soul.
We've all have leaking faces to this piece😢. It's all part of the emotional dam breaking.
This concert series had 3 stages leapfrogging around the world. They ran 57 semi trucks of equipment. 2 Boeing 747s and an Antonov military heavy lift aircraft
Great reaction. And don't apologize, that's the kind of real reaction folks come for. Hope things brighten up for you.
Check out "Wish You Were Here" from this same concert. I'm sure you'll recognize that as well. ✌️👍
Thank you, I appreciate it. I don't usually get emotional unless it really hits. And yeah, this one really hit. I'll definitely be checking out more from this show.
@@L33Reacts I was at this concert in '94 in Chicago. If you think it hits hard just watching it on video, you can only imagine what it does to you live with 100,000 watts of power going through you, blinding lights, 360° sound from all around the stadium, and even lightning in the sky for added effect. Talk about walking out of there Comfortably Numb. And that wasn't even the finale!! Check out the closer "Run Like Hell" from this same concert when you get the chance.
Of course that should have been 100,000 watts of power.
Corrected.
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour 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. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. 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
Hey Mark with a different name 👋🏼😂
I was one of the lucky to be at that concert. I remember at the end of the song, I end up on my knees, totally spent, done, emotionally drained because I realised something that will never ever ever be as good as that and I thank all the gods on earth for being alive to witnesed. Many will try to be as good but they will fail, always.
I'm a 75 year old man whose lived through these groups and their music. It's surprising how emotional I get every time I watch these video. I will always be blotting my eyes with tissue by the time the music ends... I guess that's not bad but a good thing.
An absolutely brilliant reaction. I'm sure you've heard it before but check out this entire concert. You won't be disappointed.
I regard myself as being so lucky fortunate call it what you will to have grown up with pink floyd and so many very talented rock groups of the age British rock music in the sixtees onward was incredible we had so much choice it was a fantastic experience but the group for me that are still a world apart are without question pink floyd david gilmour has a very special gift of conveying his emotions through his pure genius with his guitar im 74 years young and will be forever young listening to the masters of progressive sycadelic rock that is pink floyd what an absolutely incredible group there has never been a group like them and I dont think there ever will be another
Nothing like an epic guitar solo. For another jaw dropping performance heck out 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago live at Tanglewood. Terry Kath was amazing while he lived, and Chicago hasn't been the same since.
Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd. i saw this concert twice in two nights in 1987 and still rememberr it like it was yesterday
I was blessed to see this show 4 times. It was a mindblowing experience all 4 times.
The young man is a fill-in bass player who is extremely talented and has played for many star studded acts. His name is Guy Pratt and he is married to the Floyd Keyboardist's (Richard Wright) daughter. If someone mentioned this already, sorry but didn't see a comment. Loved the reaction. And this was the 2nd encore.
I saw them in Baton Rouge in the 70s. When the show was over you just sat for a few minutes saying, "Wow!"....
Saw this tour the summer of 94 in New Orleans. Hands down the best show I've ever been to. They closed with Run like Hell and blew everything up. Incredible show/tour.
I was there, too!! it was 2 days before my 27th birthday at the time. The show at the Superdome was on May 14, 1994. I still have my ticket stub, too!! That show was a master class on how to put on a concert as far as sights and sound. They were even able to completely nullify the bad acoustics at the Dome, and had their sound come out completely clean and clear through their speakers. Totally amazing show from start to finish!! I also have the sound recording from that concert as well!!
The 2 best crowd reaction come from Pink Floyd.... both this one and their show in Rio!! I never realized that Floyd was the second language of Brazil!!!
Ever since my grandmother, yes my grandma, gave me a Pink Floyd and CCR album for Christmas in 69 I’ve been a huge fan. I was also blessed to see them 3 times in concert. Still listen to their albums more than any other band. It’s just so relaxing to sit back with headphones on and some good ganja… allegedly!😎
You are an intuitive person. A few decades ago, I worked as a 911 dispatcher for police fire and EMS. My co-worker and I would get off our shift and chill at her apartment and listen to this song and also Time (really just a lot of Pink Floyd). It helped us express what we’d dealt with during intense shifts at the police department. I’m going to subscribe to you now. You’re pretty awesome and you definitely get the Pink Floyd experience. Please consider listening to the full albums all at once, you’ll get the intended result for sure. I don’t work in the law enforcement side of law anymore, more of the court side but it’s now good to light one and still trip on Pink Floyd. The meanings of the songs definitely hit different as the years go by.
Love brother, we are all affected by this sound... You stand with millions bro .....
That was the first of 2 encores. The 2nd was 'Run Like Hell.' I saw this show 'live' two nights in a row in Oakland , CA. 1994. This is the end of about 3 hours worth of music. An absolutely AWESOME night.
Saw Floyd after the division bell album dropped…enormous pink pig hovering over me in Syracuse NY circa 1990…
Always amazed to see people had never seen this… amazing
Once you've heard this live version, you'll never hear the album version in the same way. Dave Gilmour created history that when he played that solo which in my opinion is the best solo in any song played live, he made his guitar sing like nothing I've heard before and I've yet to hear anything better, even Stairway To Heaven live solo which says a lot.
You are human, you are experiencing life with all that entails, don't apologize for the tears, they are warranted.
When David is singing the rotating lights and the black and white are evocative of a light house whilst at sea at night
"Run Like Hell" from the concert is another goodun.
I've watched this performance I don't know how many hundreds of times. But, a lot. And I still get moved to tears. Pink Floyd truly live on their own planet, their own world. They make the most life-affirming music.They also performed a song called High Hopes at that concert. I think it's even more moving than C. Numb as it evokes memories of childhood. There's no other song that does that as good as this one. Thanks for your reaction. To see you get emotional, don't worry, as fans we totally get it.
I was lucky enough to see this tour live in CA at the Rose bowl in 1994 when I was 18yo. To this day there has not been any concert I've seen whether in person or on video that has matched this level ever since!
this is the POWER of music at it's best
It was incredible. I saw this tour in San Diego back in April of 1994. I was 22 and to this day is the best show I've ever seen.
My fave pink Floyd song
My musical brother…. I feel you. At 71 years old I am way familiar with their music. Saw them live well before this masterpiece was written. But I bought the double CD and popped it into the player on my car….i don’t remember driving at all. Just that song.
They followed up with the finale of Run Like Hell. Saw this show in June 1994. 20 at the time. Greatest night of my life!!!!!!
It took us 5 ,16 hour days to build this show. The round screen in the center had been a part of their Tours for a long time.Hazers and moving lights, "paints":the screen and Cyclorama on the upstage wall. Tilting the screen and pointing it at Gilmore during his Solos is a dramatic effect. Great surround sound, from the "Quad Towers" we built on top of the stadium bleachers. Great Summer of Rock and Roll in 94
Saw this tour at the Chateau de Chantilly near Paris in 94. Can't believe that was 30 years ago.
Tears every time, for years and years ❤️
The entire Pulse concert is magical 😊
I went to the Pulse tour, was just a teenager and it blew my mind. I've seen David once more on his 2016 tour and it was a more modest show, but the music/performance was still incredible.
I was fortunate enough (aka OLD) to see them twice. Once in 1988 and once in 1995 for the Pulse tour. I had VIP floor seats for Pulse; we all received seat cushions with the Division Bell logo printed on them. And yes, I still have them. My favorite band and this is my favorite song. David Gilmour is a legend!
I remember the first time I saw this on video, lights out, music up, TV on.... it was totally and utterly life changing.
And I wasnt even fucking there. I cant even begin to imagine how almost spiritual an experience it must have been to have been there in real life.
The audience is just mesmerised until the very end... their souls have gone on a journey together....
And it was followed by Run Like Hell.... what an encore!
This song means a lot to a lot of people... and has touched me since I first heard it when it first came out some almost 50 years ago now.....
We’re here with you. Stay strong and we’re here if you need to vent
I saw this tour in Detroit and it was an encore, but the closer was Run Like Hell. No words can adequately explain the experience
Pink Floyd are the Undisputed Gods of Live performance. They have the ability to hook into your soul and pull your emotions to the surface. They understood the connections between the musical and visual. The only thing I ever feel watching the Pulse concert is pure joy. It can pull tears of joy almost every time. Every song in this concert is performed exactly like this one. Id recommend Sorrow and Keep Talking.
When this song came out, it got me and saved me thru my teens🙏✌️❤
Driven to tears is epic. You ARE a true musician! Sharing the same experience with all of your generation is greatly appreciated. From one who experienced it at your age is beautiful man.
Being at a Pink Floyd concert is an audiovisual experience that is like no other. My breastbone was literally vibrating in time to the bass line. And yes, that is the closer.
I saw them earlier that year in Houston, in an outdoor session. I can't imagine indoor, being in that arena and experiencing this performance. This was the best. Also don't worry about your eyes sweating. In this experience, it is very much allowed.
Sore them with my best friend in Maine Road Manchester,now me and the dog visit his grave most day but a experience never forgotten
I'm 74 and have heard this song hundreds of times and it still brings a tear to my eyes. It grabs your soul and opens up feelings you didn't know you were capable of having. That is the PF experience that I've been in love with since day one. Watched a few of your vids and this reaction made me subscribe, honest and sincere. Good luck and hope you prosper...NEVER apologize for crying when you hear PF. That was the whole point of their music..emotions
That's how Pink Floyd works. Every time. Pulse is legendary.
"I ´ know donthow you can follow that…". Run like Hell: "Hold my beer".
Your the second reactor I watched cry to this performance just today. Music that evokes emotion is the best music of all.
We all cry. Many songs then sparked great emotions and goosebumps. When the music stopped provoking such responses, i left the music mainstream and stay with old school music. Its just the best. As a generation, i believe we respected every member of a group. Yes someone like gilmore is supposed to stand out but we dont get this song without them all bringing something to the table. Maybe if society realized this, society wouid flow cohesively like a good piece of music.
Exactly.... you need a brilliant drummer/percussionist to hold the beats and deliver the thrum that drives it along and the cracks and crashes the guitar weaves around, you need a brilliant keyboardist to add the background for the solo to play against and give you the added parts you "feel" but might not actually hear , the soaring notes in the background that lift you higher and cushion your fall, a bassist who can weave the heartbeat through it all and hold you tight and the backing singers and vocalists who each add another layer of intricacy.
Imagine if you removed just one of these elements from the song, if you could control the mixing board and turn off the drums or the bass or whatever, the song would be incomplete and the total voyage lost.
Some parts of society have forgotten that we are more than the sum parts. This song is a testament to it. Yes the guitar solo would still be brilliant without the backing but together it is transcendental and magnificent. We need to work together and not work against each other. The person you lift up today, may be the one who gives you a helping hand when your chips are down and together you can avoid the pitfalls on this road of life...
The entire PULSE concert is incredible!
I saw them on the Dark Side of the Moon and Momentary Lack of Reason tours. Two of the most impressive "shows" I ever saw.
That fucking solo has brought many a person to tears, amazing emotion. 😁🤘
