I’m a 70 year old woman, who has been a Floyd fan for 50 odd years and it makes me happy to see you appreciate the music I grew up with and to know this awesome music will keep going, thank you ❤
I couldn’t have said it any better! Pink Floyd has been with me since I was 13! DSOTM has been the soundtrack of my life. That album is 51 years old, and to know people are still being introduced to this is uplifting! Real musicians in control of their own music with no time stamp on how long their songs should be! It’s hard to take a journey in 3 minutes! They take their time to tell a story either by words or solos! Enjoy the ride Sebs! ✌🏻❤️🥰🎶
I’m 67. Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon tour in1974, was the very first concert I ever went to. It ruined me for every one ever since! “Time” and “Great Gig in the Sky” Will be played at my funeral! My favourite band, and by far my favourite guitarist. And I’ve played guitar for nearly 55 years now! Peace - from Winfield British Columbia, in the beautiful Okanagan Valley.
David puts his money where his lyrics were... He sold his London home for millions (because it's London) and he gave the proceeds to the homeless charity..!! As for why I'm here... because they are Pink Floyd... because I have been listening to them since the 60's, because I saw them on this tour.. because David is the most emotional guitarist of MY era... And because there is no one else like Pink Floyd. Every time I see someone find their songs and they begin to realise that they now have Pink Floyd in their lives I smile... Because I know, like me, they will have them in their lives for another 50 years.
I've seen Waters a few times, but was thankfully able to see Gilmour a few years back on the Rattle That Lock tour at a smallish venue in Chicago. Seems like an amazing human aside from being an amazing musician and artist.
He also auctioned off his guitar collection for charity. That almost broke my heart, because I thought it meant he was retiring. Thank God he didn't retire. His new album is great, and his daughter, Romany sings on it as well. She's got every bit a beautiful voice as h we father.
I am here to watch a younger generation discover some of the best live performed music you will ever hear. They put everything they have into their performances
I was born in the early '60s, was blessed to have grown up during an era of amazing music in diverse genres. Pink Floyd was (and still is) a Titan. The reason why I watch reaction channels such as yours is because I find it so encouraging that these fabulous works that I have enjoyed throughout my life is loved and embraced by younger generations. As I said, my generation was blessed. The generations that followed deserve no less.
I'm a 71 year old man...the simple answer we get to revisit our youth and relive so many memories. I'ts so good to see you guys,young generations loving our music as much as we did.
I'm 40, and I can't say enough how appreciative I am for my parents introducing me to Floyd VERY early (around 4 or 5 yo).. while everyone was listening to generic pop music, I had my Sony Walkman and was able to ignore nonsense and walk around in a Neverending bliss
Been a Pink Floyd fan since I was around 15 - a long time! Definitely pass it on to your kids but in small doses because I burned my 3 kids out on them a bit listening to them almost every time I shower! It’s such a meditative place you go to that it’s perfect for the shower. In any case, I’m glad you love them. To me, Dave Gilmour might be the greatest guitarist of all time because of how emotionally charged his solos are. He really takes us to another dimension. 🤘🏼 🎸
I'm 71 and I have 2 sons and we went to the concert together ❤️ best times ever. One son passes in 2000 and my other and I go for him to see pink Floyd and the eagles. Brings back alot of wonderful memories
Sebastian, you asked why we tune into your videos to watch you react. I'm 61 years young, and a musician, and I played in bands in the 70's and 80's and played a lot of these songs when they were new, and we had to learn them by listening to the Album. I love watching young musician, especially one who hasn't been exposed to these classics for the first time, and your reaction to the music, words, and emotion! I also love the fact that you aren't boxed into a Genre, you like John Denver's voice and you've become a fan of Country. Good Job, bro!!👍
It really IS fun to see the younger generation musicians immediately dig the classics. And youre right, this one gives you clarity, and so much energy. You focus on the solo but for me its the drums and percussion laying it down underneath and the backup singers riding Davids playin. Gets you focused!
My dad grew up in the 60s & 70s so I got to grow up with it all as well but this, Pink Floyd in general, is my BAND! I watch these because it gives me hope for the younger generations when I see you react the way I did when I first heard it. The magic you experience is me experiencing it for the first time again as well and its magic! You REALLY REALLY need to sit down and watch the ENTIRE Plue Tour. From start to finish. You already have already reacted to a few but the whole thing is a journey/experience of its own. You will be blown away! Keep listening!!
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and music like Pink Floyd and many other artists soothe my soul. I’m a Vietnam Era Veteran serving in our dysfunctional military, lost my young wife to cancer, my daughter to cancer at 20, my son at 37. The last 38 years have been a constant struggle since all three cancer ordeals overlapped. I am alone now and take solace in the music. There is so much great music that touches me and brings me to tears. Therapeutic. I listen and watch you because you are a SOLID guy and I appreciate your approach to the reactions. You have a loving family and seem like a great person. Glad your path led you to the US !
My sister-in-law - one of the sweetest people you could ever meet - had this plated at her funeral last year. She'd been sick most of her life, and died too early at fifty-seven. There wasn't anyone there who was not in floods of tears. Thanks for the reaction, Seb. RIP Martine.
I'm 77 and lucky enough to have seen them live a few times. The last was when they performed DS of M for the first time at Earls Court in London. After all these years I still consider Shine on you crazy diamond to be their finest !! Maybe cos the first and second time I saw them Syd Barratt was there, No David. But what a fitting Tribute to Syd. RIP Rick 🙏🙏👏👏👏👍👍
Seeing/hearing this live on the 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' tour in 88 was just amazing... still as brilliant all these years later and just as relevant. i was listening to Davids new solo album last night and it is so wonderful that we still get the pleasure of his brilliant tone and playing all these years later.
As a child of the 60's, I know I have been *BLESSED* with growing-up listening/watching/attending so many absolutely phenomenal Bands/Groups! Lovely reaction to one of the best! Thank you. :-D
Your reaction after the song is why I relive this song vicariously through your experience. I've been watching your for a long time. I knew you would love it. Stay awesome.
Wow, you are the only one I've ever heard pick up on the light show being the chakras. Hearing this live was a full-body spiritual experience. Seriously, you could feel the music in your body. Unbelievable. Every time I hear it I'm right back there. I watch every PF reaction because I love that younger people are discovering PF. Best band ever. Best concert of my life April 22, 1994.
I totally agree with you! I'm Italian and i was at three of their concerts: Turin, 1988; Monza (my hometown), 1989; Turin again, 1994 and they were really spiritual experiences! I watched dozens of reaction videos to this performance and it's the first time that i hear talking about the connection between lights and chakras: even myself, didn't notice it
I’m 24, my father introduced Pink Floyd to my brother and I when we were very young. In that moment he first introduced us to them, we felt emotions and feelings in a way that we had never heard before. We’ve been Pink Floyd fans ever since. So to see others watch them for the first time, it always brings me back to when we first heard them. Great reaction brother, always love your videos. A great one to listen to, if you haven’t heard it of course, is Marooned off of the division bell album
Saw the Pulse tour in 94, it was something I had looked forward to for a long time, having listened to DSOTM and "Ummagumma" and WYWH as a kid in my bedroom over and over and over but never seen them live. Gilmour is by far my favorite guitar stylist of all time. Glad to see you enjoying them all these years later friend.
65 years old and I just some how finger tripped and found you finding Roy Clark video. And I've been watching your vids for a bit now. Easier to just say it bingging. Anyway you mentioned the crowd, I would like to Sayles back in the day we could really fill the stadiums and even the outdoor concerts. We could join together for what it was really meant for, rarely we had fights and or just stupidity. Just great listening and love, do I even need to say the days on end out door concerts name? My friend I am enjoying watching you find so much peace I've had for almost 6 decades. God bless the real music God bless everyone.
Its a good question. Im a alcoholic man 36 years old 2 years of recuperation. I leave alone and wacth someone else Pink Floyd for the first time, remembered me the time when I was happy.
So many young people are discovering what we 60-70 years olds knew all along our generation were blessed with the best music ever and it’s as good now as it was then never ages unfortunately we do 😎😎😎😎😎
Best guitarist ever. Gilmour wasnt a Page, Clapton, Rhoads, etc. He is just an incredible player who makes love to the guitar in terms of technique, INCREDIBLE sound, and flow. That guitar was passed out with love after he got his fingers off of it. He uses every single sound a guitar can make when he plays. Not just one effect. All effects. He is masterful!!
I've always a tear for seeing all of them singing together just before the last solo.. especially for Richard 🌹 He's the Biggest reason why i've played piano/synth in my teenagers years 👌 RIP Legend 🖐️
Back in 1987 I caught the tail end of this song on the radio, and boy did it get my attention. I have since been listening to Pink Floyd for 37 years 😊
For me i like first time reviews, because I remember my first time listening to such great music. Its a pleasure to see someone coming alive to old favorites
The way you put it, “why are you here wanting to vicariously experience some other person listening for the first time”… well I remember very clearly when I first heard this band. I was 12 years old, was proud of my new CD player and these random CDs I got because the cover artwork drew me in. I had never heard music that drew me in and spoke to me like this band. It was life changing and affirming for me. And I love seeing others experience it for the first time because it brings me back to that time and place. Some of these songs, particularly David’s solos, still bring tears to my eyes, even after hundreds of listens. Thank you for your reaction.
The first album I ever bought was Dark Side Of The Moon. It was 1973. I was 12 years old. It completely rewired my young brain and literally put me on the path to becoming the person that I am today, 51 years later.
Great reaction Seb. We watch because it's great to see people appreciate the music that we love. I've seen Pink Floyd and Genesis live, My life is complete.
1984....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.
This song is tied with “High Hopes” as my favourite Pink Floyd song. Both are so emotional and melodic, yet with a strong message and a palpable sense of presence. When you listen to music like this…you feel it, you become part of it, it transcends mere music. It is an experience. Very few bands can take you where PF does.❤️👍🎶🎸🙏🇨🇦
I'm watching because I only just recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying your videos very much. I'm a 58 year old woman who has loved Pink Floyd for many years. I've been lucky enough to have seen them live 3 times. This particular song is one of my very favorites and I'm including the "older" stuff with Roger Waters when I say that. I do love those albums but A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell also contain some amazing songs that are among my favs. I also really like your wanting to know the lyrics. That's actually a huge thing for me. Thanks for making great videos!!
I first heard this song from the concert VHS HiFi tape over my stereo back in about 1990 or 91, when a friend brought it over and we watched the entire concert. On the Turning Away was the highlight for me. I just loved the guitar solo, like you do Sebs. Then along came the 2019 remastering of the concert film on Blu-ray and about another 4 minutes of guitar solo surfaced that we didn't even know was there! That solo is by far my favourite David Gilmour solo, even better than Comfortably Numb. I listen to this song regularly to inspire me to do what I can to help those in need. If ever there was a need for people to look around and help out where they can, it is now with so many homeless people. This song and that beautiful long guitar solo brings tears to my eyes and hits my emotions button very hard. For those who want meaningful music that inspires them, this song is it. 🎸😎💖💖💖
There are some people who find beauty in a sculpture, or a painting, or some other thing that was made by the creativity and craftsmanship of it's creator. This song, no matter how many times I hear it, alway makes me emotional and teary. Truly a piece of art.
I am now 52 and experience Pink Floyd and other bands when I was around 4 or 5 as mom always had music playing. Years later I rediscovered Floyd in High School and had memories of their songs. While in High School, times got tough with an alcoholic parent and Floyd was my escape with my own stereo and headphones and got lost in my favorite Floyd song Echoes. I saw them on this tour at Ohio State when I was a Freshman in high school May 1988. In 1994, I had just been Honorably Discharged from the Navy and my first week out, I saw them in Houston Texas at Rice Stadium in April 1994. First Floyd concert that had to stop due to the nasty thunderstorm. But the huge rain drops through the lasers and the lightning flashing with the music. That night I decided to follow them for the tour, like many do with the Dead. I saw a total of 12 Pulse concerts here in the US and went to London for 2 more. In 2005, I was a flight attendant working for a regional airline for US Airways.. I called out sick and flew to London to see them perform at Live 8. Then I followed David Gilmour in 2006 with the release of On An Island Tour. 3 in the US and 2 in London when they recorded Remember That Night and my last concert was Live in Gdańsk Poland and watch the very last live version of Echoes. Then Richard died and the song was retired. Then I found these reaction videos. And for the most part, I feel like I am experiencing these songs for the first time when I watch others discovering for the first time. When I see folks reacting to the smallest thing that I like in that song. Edit: my friend and I surprised each other with the upcoming David Gilmour tour for his new album Luck & Strange. He has released 3 songs now, one with his daughter singing, and the rest on September 6th. The song Luck & Strange is a song that him and Richard Wright came up with in his barn jam sessions. I surprised my friend with us going to see him at the Hollywood bowl on October 31st. And she had gotten us tickets for a concert at Madison Square Garden. SURPRISE!
The thing about a Dave Gilmore solo is the fact that he falls into the music, and we all fall with him. He becomes one with the music, and it's that passion, that emotion that you hear and feel listening to him play.
I love the evaluations that you share. Yes, I have enjoyed this band for decades and it is so fun to see someone else react for the first time. It's like sharing our history with you "young people". LOL
A good friend of mine met David in Canada. They had a lengthy conversation about guitar playing. The takeaway was that David believed that rather than play as many notes as fast as you can, it was more important to be specific about the notes you played and to play them with emotion and conviction.
I'm 68 and have asked this song be played at my celebration of life when I'm gone. The lyrics are unique. They reach inside you and pull on your heart.
@@tommcentire6257 That’s the perfect comment. That is what sets David Gilmore in a class of his own. Many amazing guitar players make the notes sing, but David makes the spaces and intervals between the notes just as important.. Thank you.👍
Seb's, almost any Pink Floyd song is fantastic. I remember back in the seventies when they used to book in at the old Tampa stadium and they would do two shows on the weekend. I never was able to get any tickets because both shows in the stadium would sell out in 20 to 30 minutes.
Thank you Sebs!! it simply rips out your heart with raw beauty and the way it builds w/ layer after layer through 20 repetitions up to end. Evocative, soul-stirring song. We who know these Gilmour masterpieces want the unintroduced to have this same revelatory experience of the senses. David has a strong sense of compassion for the human condition AND the health of this fragile planet. He is a philanthropist, supporting countless charities all his life. The man is amazing. Other such standouts of post-core album material: High Hopes (fr Division Bell) Coming Back to Life These _can_ bring on the tears. The man wrings every imaginable sound & emotion out of those strings. He just makes you FEEL.
It to me is so satisfying watching the younger generation getting to experience Floyd. I have been a fan since a very young man. I am now 72 years old and have been a fan since my 20's.
Hello from Bulgaria, Europe. From 1945 years to 1989 years we were beyond the Iron Curtain and under the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. Western music was banned! It was a crime to own or listen to a recording of Western music! It could only be found on the Black Market! I was a teenager when the Berlin Wall came down! For my generation and older people, this music is still a symbol of freedom! For me, Pink Floyd are the Mozart of the music scene in the last 50 years! It is no coincidence that many modern musicians are influenced by them! And now with an eye to the future, I would love to see Emma Kok Sings Voilà - André Rieu, Maastricht 2023! A breathtaking performance, and her voice will surely stab your heart! Thank you in advance!
I was in hospital for 3 months before last Christmas (September to November 2023). There was a Bulgarian man about my age (late 40s) in the bed opposite and he asked me what I was listening to. I said pink floyd and he just smiled. I got my partner to bring him some Bluetooth headphones in so we could both listen to some Floyd while we were waiting for heart surgery ❤
@@VeteranHedonist Hello, I was glad of your reply! I hope you are well and I wish you many years of health and life /our Bulgarian proverb/! I am happy to have found the channel of this wonderful young man who so passionately understands and represents music and its power and meaning! This is extremely important for today's young people and their development as individuals with high moral requirements! I hope they can understand that these grandfathers/dinosaurs actually created this music when they were 20-25 year-old outstanding musicians, young boys with dreams and visions. They did not follow the mainstream! So we are one generation! I hope that one day you will have the opportunity to visit Bulgaria! We have 1300 years of history, great food, wonderful winter resorts and an incredible Black Sea with silky sand beaches. In the capital Sofia during summer days you can cool off in the nearby Vitosha mountain or one of the wonderful bars. If you prepare in advance you can explore the many churches, archaeological excavations from the Roman Empire and much more! May The Force be with You!
IMO Pulse is the greatest live album ever made. I bought this album by accident shortly after it was released. Knew nothing about it. I just wanted something to listen to at the time and saw a Floyd album I had never heard of so bought it. It's not new music, but a lot of their greatest hits while they (minus Roger and Syd of course) were still young enough to sound like they did when they were in their prime. You just don't hear live albums that sound this good, and all the old hits they played somehow sounded even better. This one is in my top 5 Floyd albums to buy.
I saw Floyd play this at Earls Court in London October 1994 The Pulse Tour Concerts and literally everybody sitting around me in the upper balcony had tears streaming down their faces including me and my mates..!! The lyrics to "On The Turning Away" are so profound and moving and tell the truth of the way the World has become (Which is so sad and upsetting as people have become so selfish and self-centered and don't care for the people who are suffering and struggling through life)..!! David Gilmour's guitar playing is the only person who basically makes the guitar speak to you through emotions...And no guitarist on earth can play guitar solo's like David Gilmour from this song to his solo on Comfortably Numb..!! For the 50years of being a Pink Floyd fanatic, they are ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME..Their music will be listened to and relevant for the next 100years and more..ABSOLUTE GENIUSES 🙏💙👌✌️
Thank you, Pink Floyd is a rabbit hole you will never regret. Please listen to shine on you crazy diamond. I am 41, my dad introduced me to pink floyd when I was young. I remember driving in the car and listening to them with him or working on something and it playing in the background. One of the first albums I ever owned was delicate sound of thounder on the dual cassette. Unfortunately my dad and I did not get along the greatest when I was younger. He met my mom when I was little and I just always butted heads with him. As an adult we got close, unfortunately just as we were the cancer took him. But I have the music that he introduced me to and we both love, I think of him every day still.
another PF masterpiece. I love seeing people's reactions and remember fondly my own feelings when I first heard them. That feeling doesn't go away, the magic stays. Enjoy the PF journey.
David Gilmour is my all time favorite guitar player no matter where he ranks on the ‘all time best’ list. He literally speaks to me with his playing. In fact in an interview with his wife, Polly Sampson, she stated “David is a man of few words, he speaks through his guitar”. Never a truer statement👍
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan even since I was a kid listening to Dark Side of the Moon. This is one of my favorite all- time songs ever. I can listen to it on repeat near endlessly. I'm always happy to see new people experience this band for the first time.
I'm currently 66 yrs old and I was 14 years old the first time I listened to Pink Floyd, it's so cool to think that 50 years later people are still hearing Floyd for the first time and loving it!
I found your channel a couple weeks ago and have been watching a bunch of your videos (and the ones with your wife) and I love your take on things. Scrolling thru them I saw this and this song is high on my all-time favorite songs list. I hope you love it!
I was a teenager during all these recent videos that you're reacting to. It's so cool to see your reaction! It's like hearing it again for the first time!❤
I'm at a loss for words. Pink Floyd does that to me frequently. They use up the ones that best express my emotions, and leave me with just the pure feelings.
Ahhh the memories of 1988. Walking into the stadium, hoping they would still be able to deliver after sooo many years of not performing live, and without RW. Boy. Did they deliver! Life changing experience. Even more than the 1994 Division Bell tour .
I saw them on this tour in Raleigh NC! I traveled from Jacksonville Fla because a friend had an extra ticket.I saw them again around 92 also in Raleigh both shows were epic!
I love to watch Pink Floyd On the Turning away..it's a wonderful song..I particularly love David Gilmore's guitar solo..I am taking electric guitar lessons currently and hope to be able to play great like him..❤❤🎸🎸
I think that David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler are my two favorite living guitarists. The solo in this song is a perfect example of why, in David Gilmour's case :)
Finally. You reacted to this one. This performance has never ceased to give me chills. To me, it wasn’t just the guitar solo. What stood out to me was Machan Taylor’s wailing at 11:12. It made my eyes water and the hairs on the back of my neck rise. I showed my mom Coming Back to Life and she won’t stop listening to it.
I absolutely love seeing you being blown away by Pink Floyd…..they were such a deep part of my musical upbringing in the 80’s. David Gilmore is a genius. I do have to suggest you listen to more of the Wall and more Roger Waters (HUGE part of what Pink Floyd was). David and Roger fell out but, The Wall and also The Final Cut are absolutely incredible albums deserved of a deep listen. ❤️
Growing up with Pink Floyd was an experience. There will never be another band just like them. I can’t live without the Syd Barrett era, but once David Gilmour joined, I was hooked. Seattle Center had a laser light experience with just Floyd music. They should bring that back.
I was fortunate enough to attend both Pink Floyd album post Roger Waters concerts at the old Mile High stadium in Denver. Both were out of this world experiences and I can still vividly remember the shows, best concerts I have ever attended and I have been to many, including Van Halen’s initial tour at The Round in Phoenix.

I couldn’t have said it any better! Pink Floyd has been with me since I was 13! DSOTM has been the soundtrack of my life. That album is 51 years old, and to know people are still being introduced to this is uplifting! Real musicians in control of their own music with no time stamp on how long their songs should be! It’s hard to take a journey in 3 minutes! They take their time to tell a story either by words or solos! Enjoy the ride Sebs! ✌🏻❤️🥰🎶
I’m 67. Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon tour in1974, was the very first concert I ever went to. It ruined me for every one ever since!
“Time” and “Great Gig in the Sky” Will be played at my funeral!
My favourite band, and by far my favourite guitarist. And I’ve played guitar for nearly 55 years now!

OMG…. 😢
David puts his money where his lyrics were... He sold his London home for millions (because it's London) and he gave the proceeds to the homeless charity..!!
As for why I'm here... because they are Pink Floyd... because I have been listening to them since the 60's, because I saw them on this tour.. because David is the most emotional guitarist of MY era... And because there is no one else like Pink Floyd. Every time I see someone find their songs and they begin to realise that they now have Pink Floyd in their lives I smile... Because I know, like me, they will have them in their lives for another 50 years.
Ever since I was at Earls Court at the May concert for Dark Side of the Moon, Mey 1973!!! The best
Not only that, he sold all of his favorite guitars, including his iconic black strat, at auction for charity. He’s a beautiful man inside and out.
@@mikewatts867 Absolutely... the emotion in his playing comes from inside the man doesn't it.. It's real.
I've seen Waters a few times, but was thankfully able to see Gilmour a few years back on the Rattle That Lock tour at a smallish venue in Chicago. Seems like an amazing human aside from being an amazing musician and artist.
He also auctioned off his guitar collection for charity. That almost broke my heart, because I thought it meant he was retiring. Thank God he didn't retire. His new album is great, and his daughter, Romany sings on it as well. She's got every bit a beautiful voice as h we father.

Ditto all that
I'm a 71 year old man...the simple answer we get to revisit our youth and relive so many memories. I'ts so good to see you guys,young generations loving our music as much as we did.
I've never heard a guitarist who plays with so much emotion, but is also technically amazing. You're right, his solos are "purposeful"
I’m 78 years old and this still gives me chills
I am not 78 but I know greatness when I hear it
I'm 40, and I can't say enough how appreciative I am for my parents introducing me to Floyd VERY early (around 4 or 5 yo).. while everyone was listening to generic pop music, I had my Sony Walkman and was able to ignore nonsense and walk around in a Neverending bliss
Been a Pink Floyd fan since I was around 15 - a long time! Definitely pass it on to your kids but in small doses because I burned my 3 kids out on them a bit listening to them almost every time I shower! It’s such a meditative place you go to that it’s perfect for the shower. In any case, I’m glad you love them. To me, Dave Gilmour might be the greatest guitarist of all time because of how emotionally charged his solos are. He really takes us to another dimension. 🤘🏼 🎸
Your comment "never wastes a note" is bang on. He always plays the right note. Amazing guitarist. 👍
Props for those three backup singers. Beautiful women and beautiful voices.
Margaret Taylor, Durga McBroom, Rachel Fury. They are amazingly good!
@@Arnie10101 They are the best combination Pink Floyd has ever had. I got to see those 3 at Grant Field in Atlanta.
Pink Floyd... One of the best ever.
An awakening always happens internally when listening to a Floyd song 😎
I'm 71 and I have 2 sons and we went to the concert together ❤️ best times ever. One son passes in 2000 and my other and I go for him to see pink Floyd and the eagles. Brings back alot of wonderful memories
Sebastian, you asked why we tune into your videos to watch you react. I'm 61 years young, and a musician, and I played in bands in the 70's and 80's and played a lot of these songs when they were new, and we had to learn them by listening to the Album. I love watching young musician, especially one who hasn't been exposed to these classics for the first time, and your reaction to the music, words, and emotion! I also love the fact that you aren't boxed into a Genre, you like John Denver's voice and you've become a fan of Country. Good Job, bro!!👍
It really IS fun to see the younger generation musicians immediately dig the classics. And youre right, this one gives you clarity, and so much energy. You focus on the solo but for me its the drums and percussion laying it down underneath and the backup singers riding Davids playin.
Gets you focused!
Pink Floyd was absolutely amazing live! Love,Love,Love
My dad grew up in the 60s & 70s so I got to grow up with it all as well but this, Pink Floyd in general, is my BAND! I watch these because it gives me hope for the younger generations when I see you react the way I did when I first heard it. The magic you experience is me experiencing it for the first time again as well and its magic! You REALLY REALLY need to sit down and watch the ENTIRE Plue Tour. From start to finish. You already have already reacted to a few but the whole thing is a journey/experience of its own. You will be blown away! Keep listening!!
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and music like Pink Floyd and many other artists soothe my soul. I’m a Vietnam Era Veteran serving in our dysfunctional military, lost my young wife to cancer, my daughter to cancer at 20, my son at 37. The last 38 years have been a constant struggle since all three cancer ordeals overlapped. I am alone now and take solace in the music. There is so much great music that touches me and brings me to tears. Therapeutic.
I listen and watch you because you are a SOLID guy and I appreciate your approach to the reactions. You have a loving family and seem like a great person. Glad your path led you to the US !
Sending compassion and healing vibes.
Thank you for your service. Welcome home and I’m so very sorry for your losses.
I’m am sorry for your loss. How awful for you
Sending you❤
My highest praise for this song is that there is not one wasted note or missed beat.
David's guitar sings to one's emotions.
My sister-in-law - one of the sweetest people you could ever meet - had this plated at her funeral last year. She'd been sick most of her life, and died too early at fifty-seven. There wasn't anyone there who was not in floods of tears. Thanks for the reaction, Seb. RIP Martine.
I'm 77 and lucky enough to have seen them live a few times. The last was when they performed DS of M for the first time at Earls Court in London. After all these years I still consider Shine on you crazy diamond to be their finest !! Maybe cos the first and second time I saw them Syd Barratt was there, No David. But what a fitting Tribute to Syd. RIP Rick 🙏🙏👏👏👏👍👍
Seeing/hearing this live on the 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' tour in 88 was just amazing... still as brilliant all these years later and just as relevant. i was listening to Davids new solo album last night and it is so wonderful that we still get the pleasure of his brilliant tone and playing all these years later.
As a child of the 60's, I know I have been *BLESSED* with growing-up listening/watching/attending so many absolutely phenomenal Bands/Groups!
Lovely reaction to one of the best!
Thank you. :-D
Your reaction after the song is why I relive this song vicariously through your experience. I've been watching your for a long time. I knew you would love it. Stay awesome.
Wow, you are the only one I've ever heard pick up on the light show being the chakras. Hearing this live was a full-body spiritual experience. Seriously, you could feel the music in your body. Unbelievable. Every time I hear it I'm right back there.
I watch every PF reaction because I love that younger people are discovering PF. Best band ever. Best concert of my life April 22, 1994.
I totally agree with you! I'm Italian and i was at three of their concerts: Turin, 1988; Monza (my hometown), 1989; Turin again, 1994 and they were really spiritual experiences! I watched dozens of reaction videos to this performance and it's the first time that i hear talking about the connection between lights and chakras: even myself, didn't notice it
@@ulisserossin1770 Wow, that's awesome. I only saw them once, but it was unforgettable.
I am lucky to have seen Pink Floyd not at this venue, but on this tour. There are no words to describe what experiencing them live was like.
I’m 24, my father introduced Pink Floyd to my brother and I when we were very young. In that moment he first introduced us to them, we felt emotions and feelings in a way that we had never heard before. We’ve been Pink Floyd fans ever since. So to see others watch them for the first time, it always brings me back to when we first heard them. Great reaction brother, always love your videos. A great one to listen to, if you haven’t heard it of course, is Marooned off of the division bell album
Saw the Pulse tour in 94, it was something I had looked forward to for a long time, having listened to DSOTM and "Ummagumma" and WYWH as a kid in my bedroom over and over and over but never seen them live. Gilmour is by far my favorite guitar stylist of all time. Glad to see you enjoying them all these years later friend.
The joy of seeing someone see and experience this for the first time is a reminder of the first time I heard this song. Like a flower blossoming
I listen to David's guitar going to sleep darn near every night, on the turning away..so beautifully put together, my favorite PF...
I watch you because it’s great to see someone find our 50 year old music and realize how good is ❤
65 years old and I just some how finger tripped and found you finding Roy Clark video. And I've been watching your vids for a bit now. Easier to just say it bingging. Anyway you mentioned the crowd, I would like to Sayles back in the day we could really fill the stadiums and even the outdoor concerts. We could join together for what it was really meant for, rarely we had fights and or just stupidity. Just great listening and love, do I even need to say the days on end out door concerts name? My friend I am enjoying watching you find so much peace I've had for almost 6 decades. God bless the real music God bless everyone.
Its a good question. Im a alcoholic man 36 years old 2 years of recuperation. I leave alone and wacth someone else Pink Floyd for the first time, remembered me the time when I was happy.
So many young people are discovering what we 60-70 years olds knew all along our generation were blessed with the best music ever and it’s as good now as it was then never ages unfortunately we do 😎😎😎😎😎
I love to see peoples faces the first time they get the Floyd experience
Me too!
Best guitarist ever. Gilmour wasnt a Page, Clapton, Rhoads, etc. He is just an incredible player who makes love to the guitar in terms of technique, INCREDIBLE sound, and flow. That guitar was passed out with love after he got his fingers off of it. He uses every single sound a guitar can make when he plays. Not just one effect. All effects. He is masterful!!
You forgot jeff beck. The greatest
I've always a tear for seeing all of them singing together just before the last solo.. especially for Richard 🌹 He's the Biggest reason why i've played piano/synth in my teenagers years 👌 RIP Legend 🖐️
Excellent reaction. I love when reactors absorb and appreciate the lyrics as well as the musicianship!, well done!
Back in 1987 I caught the tail end of this song on the radio, and boy did it get my attention. I have since been listening to Pink Floyd for 37 years 😊
For me i like first time reviews, because I remember my first time listening to such great music. Its a pleasure to see someone coming alive to old favorites
The way you put it, “why are you here wanting to vicariously experience some other person listening for the first time”… well I remember very clearly when I first heard this band. I was 12 years old, was proud of my new CD player and these random CDs I got because the cover artwork drew me in. I had never heard music that drew me in and spoke to me like this band. It was life changing and affirming for me. And I love seeing others experience it for the first time because it brings me back to that time and place. Some of these songs, particularly David’s solos, still bring tears to my eyes, even after hundreds of listens. Thank you for your reaction.
Fantastic song and arrangement. One of the best lead guitarists ever.
The first album I ever bought was Dark Side Of The Moon. It was 1973. I was 12 years old. It completely rewired my young brain and literally put me on the path to becoming the person that I am today, 51 years later.
Great reaction Seb. We watch because it's great to see people appreciate the music that we love. I've seen Pink Floyd and Genesis live, My life is complete.
1984....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.
Excellent story!! So jealous I wasn't able to make one of those epic tours in my childhood.
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, great story thank you for sharing.
This song is tied with “High Hopes” as my favourite Pink Floyd song. Both are so emotional and melodic, yet with a strong message and a palpable sense of presence. When you listen to music like this…you feel it, you become part of it, it transcends mere music. It is an experience. Very few bands can take you where PF does.❤️👍🎶🎸🙏🇨🇦
I'm watching because I only just recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying your videos very much. I'm a 58 year old woman who has loved Pink Floyd for many years. I've been lucky enough to have seen them live 3 times. This particular song is one of my very favorites and I'm including the "older" stuff with Roger Waters when I say that. I do love those albums but A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell also contain some amazing songs that are among my favs. I also really like your wanting to know the lyrics. That's actually a huge thing for me. Thanks for making great videos!!
Been a fan for 25 years. This is my 3rd favorite song of theirs. It's quite beautiful.
Was stationed in England 1973 saw Pink Floyd live at Knebworth park England
I first heard this song from the concert VHS HiFi tape over my stereo back in about 1990 or 91, when a friend brought it over and we watched the entire concert. On the Turning Away was the highlight for me. I just loved the guitar solo, like you do Sebs. Then along came the 2019 remastering of the concert film on Blu-ray and about another 4 minutes of guitar solo surfaced that we didn't even know was there! That solo is by far my favourite David Gilmour solo, even better than Comfortably Numb. I listen to this song regularly to inspire me to do what I can to help those in need. If ever there was a need for people to look around and help out where they can, it is now with so many homeless people. This song and that beautiful long guitar solo brings tears to my eyes and hits my emotions button very hard. For those who want meaningful music that inspires them, this song is it. 🎸😎💖💖💖
There are some people who find beauty in a sculpture, or a painting, or some other thing that was made by the creativity and craftsmanship of it's creator. This song, no matter how many times I hear it, alway makes me emotional and teary. Truly a piece of art.
I am now 52 and experience Pink Floyd and other bands when I was around 4 or 5 as mom always had music playing. Years later I rediscovered Floyd in High School and had memories of their songs. While in High School, times got tough with an alcoholic parent and Floyd was my escape with my own stereo and headphones and got lost in my favorite Floyd song Echoes. I saw them on this tour at Ohio State when I was a Freshman in high school May 1988. In 1994, I had just been Honorably Discharged from the Navy and my first week out, I saw them in Houston Texas at Rice Stadium in April 1994. First Floyd concert that had to stop due to the nasty thunderstorm. But the huge rain drops through the lasers and the lightning flashing with the music. That night I decided to follow them for the tour, like many do with the Dead. I saw a total of 12 Pulse concerts here in the US and went to London for 2 more. In 2005, I was a flight attendant working for a regional airline for US Airways.. I called out sick and flew to London to see them perform at Live 8. Then I followed David Gilmour in 2006 with the release of On An Island Tour. 3 in the US and 2 in London when they recorded Remember That Night and my last concert was Live in Gdańsk Poland and watch the very last live version of Echoes. Then Richard died and the song was retired. Then I found these reaction videos. And for the most part, I feel like I am experiencing these songs for the first time when I watch others discovering for the first time. When I see folks reacting to the smallest thing that I like in that song.
Edit: my friend and I surprised each other with the upcoming David Gilmour tour for his new album Luck & Strange. He has released 3 songs now, one with his daughter singing, and the rest on September 6th. The song Luck & Strange is a song that him and Richard Wright came up with in his barn jam sessions. I surprised my friend with us going to see him at the Hollywood bowl on October 31st. And she had gotten us tickets for a concert at Madison Square Garden. SURPRISE!
Great performance guitar solo...beautiful song..David Gilmour is the best, Pink Floyd forever👏👏👏
The thing about a Dave Gilmore solo is the fact that he falls into the music, and we all fall with him. He becomes one with the music, and it's that passion, that emotion that you hear and feel listening to him play.
I love the evaluations that you share. Yes, I have enjoyed this band for decades and it is so fun to see someone else react for the first time. It's like sharing our history with you "young people". LOL
A good friend of mine met David in Canada. They had a lengthy conversation about guitar playing. The takeaway was that David believed that rather than play as many notes as fast as you can, it was more important to be specific about the notes you played and to play them with emotion and conviction.
I'm 68 and have asked this song be played at my celebration of life when I'm gone. The lyrics are unique. They reach inside you and pull on your heart.
It’s amazing how many young reactors are moved to tears by Gilmour’s playing!
I attended a Pink Floyd concert in Los Angeles, 1987. It was the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Great show!
David understands the meaning of " There's a lot of music between the notes".
❤❤❤
@@tommcentire6257 That’s the perfect comment. That is what sets David Gilmore in a class of his own. Many amazing guitar players make the notes sing, but David makes the spaces and intervals between the notes just as important.. Thank you.👍
Seb's, almost any Pink Floyd song is fantastic. I remember back in the seventies when they used to book in at the old Tampa stadium and they would do two shows on the weekend. I never was able to get any tickets because both shows in the stadium would sell out in 20 to 30 minutes.
Thank you Sebs!!
it simply rips out your heart with raw beauty and the way it builds w/ layer after layer through 20 repetitions up to end.
Evocative, soul-stirring song.
We who know these Gilmour masterpieces want the unintroduced to have this same revelatory experience of the senses.
David has a strong sense of compassion for the human condition AND the health of this fragile planet.
He is a philanthropist, supporting countless charities all his life. The man is amazing.
Other such standouts of post-core album material:
High Hopes (fr Division Bell)
Coming Back to Life
These _can_ bring on the tears.
The man wrings every imaginable sound & emotion out of those strings.
He just makes you FEEL.
Everybody needs more Pink Floyd. 🎶🎶👀
So now you know....
It to me is so satisfying watching the younger generation getting to experience Floyd. I have been a fan since a very young man. I am now 72 years old and have been a fan since my 20's.
Hello from Bulgaria, Europe. From 1945 years to 1989 years we were beyond the Iron Curtain and under the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. Western music was banned! It was a crime to own or listen to a recording of Western music! It could only be found on the Black Market! I was a teenager when the Berlin Wall came down! For my generation and older people, this music is still a symbol of freedom! For me, Pink Floyd are the Mozart of the music scene in the last 50 years! It is no coincidence that many modern musicians are influenced by them! And now with an eye to the future, I would love to see Emma Kok Sings Voilà - André Rieu, Maastricht 2023! A breathtaking performance, and her voice will surely stab your heart! Thank you in advance!
I was in hospital for 3 months before last Christmas (September to November 2023). There was a Bulgarian man about my age (late 40s) in the bed opposite and he asked me what I was listening to. I said pink floyd and he just smiled. I got my partner to bring him some Bluetooth headphones in so we could both listen to some Floyd while we were waiting for heart surgery ❤
@@VeteranHedonist Hello, I was glad of your reply! I hope you are well and I wish you many years of health and life /our Bulgarian proverb/!
I am happy to have found the channel of this wonderful young man who so passionately understands and represents music and its power and meaning! This is extremely important for today's young people and their development as individuals with high moral requirements! I hope they can understand that these grandfathers/dinosaurs actually created this music when they were 20-25 year-old outstanding musicians, young boys with dreams and visions. They did not follow the mainstream!
So we are one generation! I hope that one day you will have the opportunity to visit Bulgaria! We have 1300 years of history, great food, wonderful winter resorts and an incredible Black Sea with silky sand beaches. In the capital Sofia during summer days you can cool off in the nearby Vitosha mountain or one of the wonderful bars. If you prepare in advance you can explore the many churches, archaeological excavations from the Roman Empire and much more! May The Force be with You!
IMO Pulse is the greatest live album ever made. I bought this album by accident shortly after it was released. Knew nothing about it. I just wanted something to listen to at the time and saw a Floyd album I had never heard of so bought it. It's not new music, but a lot of their greatest hits while they (minus Roger and Syd of course) were still young enough to sound like they did when they were in their prime. You just don't hear live albums that sound this good, and all the old hits they played somehow sounded even better. This one is in my top 5 Floyd albums to buy.
Fat old sun is his best solo ever at that show
I saw Floyd play this at Earls Court in London October 1994 The Pulse Tour Concerts and literally everybody sitting around me in the upper balcony had tears streaming down their faces including me and my mates..!! The lyrics to "On The Turning Away" are so profound and moving and tell the truth of the way the World has become (Which is so sad and upsetting as people have become so selfish and self-centered and don't care for the people who are suffering and struggling through life)..!! David Gilmour's guitar playing is the only person who basically makes the guitar speak to you through emotions...And no guitarist on earth can play guitar solo's like David Gilmour from this song to his solo on Comfortably Numb..!! For the 50years of being a Pink Floyd fanatic, they are ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME..Their music will be listened to and relevant for the next 100years and more..ABSOLUTE GENIUSES 🙏💙👌✌️
Thank you, Pink Floyd is a rabbit hole you will never regret. Please listen to shine on you crazy diamond. I am 41, my dad introduced me to pink floyd when I was young. I remember driving in the car and listening to them with him or working on something and it playing in the background. One of the first albums I ever owned was delicate sound of thounder on the dual cassette. Unfortunately my dad and I did not get along the greatest when I was younger. He met my mom when I was little and I just always butted heads with him. As an adult we got close, unfortunately just as we were the cancer took him. But I have the music that he introduced me to and we both love, I think of him every day still.
another PF masterpiece. I love seeing people's reactions and remember fondly my own feelings when I first heard them. That feeling doesn't go away, the magic stays. Enjoy the PF journey.
"he's so purposeful in his solos..." - you nailed David Gilmore, one of the best ever
I love watching someone experience this for the first time ❤and yes, I am reliving my first time by watching you
Such a beautiful song. With heavy meaning.
David Gilmour is my all time favorite guitar player no matter where he ranks on the ‘all time best’ list. He literally speaks to me with his playing. In fact in an interview with his wife, Polly Sampson, she stated “David is a man of few words, he speaks through his guitar”. Never a truer statement👍
I saw them in concert on this tour in mid 1988. I am a big fan of this album!
I love watching someone react to the lyrics and delivery of the song
Pink Floyd is my happy zone
Pink Floyd helped shape parts of my life ❤so beautiful....... the lyrics, Gilmore's guitar solos , everything about this group
Coming back to life is another great emotional song with great guitar
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan even since I was a kid listening to Dark Side of the Moon. This is one of my favorite all- time songs ever. I can listen to it on repeat near endlessly. I'm always happy to see new people experience this band for the first time.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd song. I love the message, and of course the music is outstanding. But I get such an emotional response to this song.
I love PF, and this PF track and yours is one of my favourite reaction channels. Simples! 👍🏻
I'm currently 66 yrs old and I was 14 years old the first time I listened to Pink Floyd, it's so cool to think that 50 years later people are still hearing Floyd for the first time and loving it!
I found your channel a couple weeks ago and have been watching a bunch of your videos (and the ones with your wife) and I love your take on things. Scrolling thru them I saw this and this song is high on my all-time favorite songs list. I hope you love it!
Ok, done watching this.... There is something so great about watching someone else find joy in something you love! This is my new favorite channel.
I love the message of the song. It's one we should all heed.
I was a teenager during all these recent videos that you're reacting to. It's so cool to see your reaction! It's like hearing it again for the first time!❤
Thanks much Seb's for reacting to my favorite PF song. I could put this version of this song on repeat for hours!
I'm at a loss for words. Pink Floyd does that to me frequently. They use up the ones that best express my emotions, and leave me with just the pure feelings.
You are spot on with your interpretation of the lighting. Cheers mate!
I saw them at the El Paso Sun Bowl. Great concert! One of those lifetime concerts.
Ahhh the memories of 1988. Walking into the stadium, hoping they would still be able to deliver after sooo many years of not performing live, and without RW. Boy. Did they deliver! Life changing experience. Even more than the 1994 Division Bell tour .
I saw them on this tour in Raleigh NC! I traveled from Jacksonville Fla because a friend had an extra ticket.I saw them again around 92 also in Raleigh both shows were epic!
I love to watch Pink Floyd On the Turning away..it's a wonderful song..I particularly love David Gilmore's guitar solo..I am taking electric guitar lessons currently and hope to be able to play great like him..❤❤🎸🎸
I got to see this tour in Munich, Germany. I was 19 and in the Army. What an amazing experience.
I think that David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler are my two favorite living guitarists. The solo in this song is a perfect example of why, in David Gilmour's case :)
Finally. You reacted to this one. This performance has never ceased to give me chills. To me, it wasn’t just the guitar solo. What stood out to me was Machan Taylor’s wailing at 11:12. It made my eyes water and the hairs on the back of my neck rise. I showed my mom Coming Back to Life and she won’t stop listening to it.
I absolutely love seeing you being blown away by Pink Floyd…..they were such a deep part of my musical upbringing in the 80’s. David Gilmore is a genius. I do have to suggest you listen to more of the Wall and more Roger Waters (HUGE part of what Pink Floyd was). David and Roger fell out but, The Wall and also The Final Cut are absolutely incredible albums deserved of a deep listen. ❤️
Growing up with Pink Floyd was an experience. There will never be another band just like them. I can’t live without the Syd Barrett era, but once David Gilmour joined, I was hooked. Seattle Center had a laser light experience with just Floyd music. They should bring that back.
I was born in 1955. This music is my youth. Best time for music in my opinion
I was fortunate enough to attend both Pink Floyd album post Roger Waters concerts at the old Mile High stadium in Denver. Both were out of this world experiences and I can still vividly remember the shows, best concerts I have ever attended and I have been to many, including Van Halen’s initial tour at The Round in Phoenix.
I am a white South African. One of my favorite songs. So powerful. ❤
