Crushing guitar from Gilmour. A perfect performance from the whole band, and also from the designers and technicians responsible for the light show. Too many people seem unimpressed by the lights, to me it's at least half of the power of this whole show. It's always nice to see people who appreciate it. This whole concert is the peak of live music. And this song is the peak of the whole show, for me. Flawless execution.
@@SirHilaryManfat I believe he was referring to reactors, although I could be wrong. Having been to a Pulse show in Toronto, there is no way you could be unimpressed. ESPECIALLY stoned 😉
This was filmed over a few nights. They did 15 shows over a couple of weeks . The first show was canceled when part of the stage collapsed before the show started. I was at the first Thursday night show. I was visiting my cousin in London and she nabbed up 4 tickets. I saw them also in Colounbus, Ohio, on this tour. I've seen them 22 times since the first time in 1969 in Detroit when I was in Jr High School. So, almost 53 years ,I've been a fan. Yeah I'm that old! LOL
Well i was there... and i was Paralysed, you don't dance at a PF Concert, we were all aware we were in a moment of some Musical History.... i cannot forget being there...
That whole solo section is just mind-blowing, but when the band drops out and they suck all of the air out of the room and then drop the lights and the bass right on your chest is my favourite part of the whole concert. Alivia was the first person I've seen actually react to those hits. A great reaction all around to one of the best live performances ever recorded.
I was lucky enough to be there and the thing which no video can replicate is that the intro and outro riff literally rearranged your molecules, you did not just hear it, it vibrated through your whole body
I've said this to you before but this particular venue Earl's Court in London sold out 15 nights in a row! When Pink Floyd announced a tour people would leave in the middle of their own weddings to go stand in line for tickets! This stage cost between 25 and 30 million in 1994 dollars and they had two sets of stages with one crew leapfrogging the other to get ready in the next city! I've seen Pink Floyd four times in three different decades and I've seen everybody from AC/DC to Led Zeppelin and everyone in between alphabetically and never seen a better concert than Pink Floyd puts on! If you want the same feeling that you got for this song do their 1989 version of "On the Turning Away" live!!
When they announced in '87 they were coming to Chicago, we got in line at the venue about 6:00pm the night BEFORE the tickets were to go on sale at 10:00am the next morning. We were already about 50th in line. By the time the tickets went on sale the next morning, the line encircled the entire venue and huge parking lot, easily thousands of people. The small suburban town had to bring in traffic control as the entire lot filled up as if there was an actual concert going on. The single night engagement swiftly expanded to 2, then 3, then 4 nights as each block of tickets sold out within 15-20 minutes. A couple of hours in and those tickets were gone.
Similar story to mine, saw them 4 times (1975, 1977, 1987, and 1994) and every time I felt I saw the best show ever, no better band ever existed. (Zeppelin for me is there equal for different reasons).
Pink Floyd is the greatest band to step on stage or studio ever. Time will never catch up with their music. You will find that Pink Floyd music is an experience.
I was there in 94’. I never get tired of watching David play. “One of these days”, “comfortably numb”, into “Run like hell!” Is a must see from this concert as well.
Hey, to a fellow traveler. Had friends surprise me with front row center tickets for this show. It was 94 at the New Orleans Superdome. Had to look back at the end to watch the disco ball open up. Amazing. I too, never get tired of watching him exert “primacy” over his sound and an entire arena of thousands. It’s stunning in every way. Regards
@@ronaldelliott4373 the concert wasn’t even on my radar. I just thought it would be impossible to get tickets. Two days before my best friends wife had a customer that gifted her the tickets. One of those few lucky breaks!
@@robertoneill1559 Isn’t that the way, these moments happen. Since all our favorites are ending and retiring some rather stellar careers, the memories of all the shows I’m sure we’ve seen have left some memories that will last our lifetimes. I know my 3 sons are always asking what it was like back in the day. I tell them, you should of been there, there just aren’t any words. 😂 😂Regards 🤘😎
@@ronaldelliott4373 It is for sure! We lived in the time of giants. How to describe to your kids, man, tough one. Music is so personal, it touches you or it doesn’t. I feel fortunate to have been a part of the generation I grew up around. Most in my neighborhood were 4-5 years older than I, so I got an early dose of musicI may have overlooked.
@@robertoneill1559 I know, my 5 yrs younger brother thanked me forever for my album collection. Between video games and iPhones today, or the way we grew up, this moment will never compare. Hope to catch you later round the Ethernet. Till then, here’s to a new friend in all things music. All the best to you and yours. 👈😎
Just to put things into perspective, I am 55 years old now. I saw them on this concert tour on the weekend of my 27th birthday. THAT WAS 28 YEARS AGO!!! ALMOST 30 YEARS HAVE SINCE PASSED. That just shows you just how far ahead of their time they were with their music, musicianship, stage presence and light show.
I’ve always said they weren’t ahead of their time, because nobody is capable of doing this now, maybe never again. So they weren’t ahead of their time, they existed in a different time and space entirely
@@mikewatts867 Definitely. The suggestion of "being ahead of their time" is an amazing compliment, but also a misnomer. Music today just doesn't stand up to the creativity and power of the older bands and music, so time has been somewhat regressive for music. I'm just glad that younger generations are still appreciating how real music sounds, before the sequencer and home computer studio turned it into a soulless algorithm.
@@mikewatts867 I couldn't agree more. How are they ahead of their time when today's music has in many ways regressed. They are not getting the same quality and creativity out of their music today. Most don't know better until they take a deep dive into yesterday's songs;ü
At 59 years old, this is my medicine and drug of choice... music that soothes the soul, takes you on a outward journey and sends chills down your spine. I saw them at 14 years old in Milwaukee, WI (an infamous show; because an inflatable Pig floating around, just... blew up!!), It was their "Animals" Tour. I got a huge piece of that Pig; sadly while in the Marines my Mom found it in a truck in the basement that flooded and she threw it away - to her it was a big piece of useless plastic!! I allowed her to live yet it took many sessions of therapy! At barely 14, it simply (like the Pig; lol) blew me away!! My all-time favorite band!! ~ Glad you've been enjoying them as much as I did and still do!! \m/
This whole concert is a Masterpiece. Every song is performed so much better than the near perfect studio versions. This performance is akin to the Ancient Greek Gods stepping down from Mt. Olympus to perform for the common folk... ❤❤❤
I first saw the Floyd in 1972 and saw them many times through the years but this was something very special. I will always remember this concert at Earls Court, superb from start to finish.
To be able to see this live masterpiece for free is almost unbelievable. This is a class AAA live production performance from almost 30 years ago. I know of no band today who are capable of a performance of this magnitude. This is just a small fraction of the entire show. I'm 60 years old and kick myself everytime I watch this video wondering why I didn't attend this show. You both have a good excuse....I do not. Lol Great reaction!
I`m 60 too and feel the same way, although at the time I wasn't into Pink Floyd , mainly because I hadn't really listened to them or knew anyone who was, as with ye olde days you sort of found out about bands off friends lol . I`m making up for it now though .. I did got to the same venue in 1983 to see Supertramp`s last concert together at Early Court, which their next album without Roger hodgson needed a replacement and got Dave Gilmour to play guitars on it .
Yah, so excited for you to see this...... when I watched your album version revue the other day, I realised that the album version (with the fade out) does not end like this live version, tying the song from beginning to end in a neat little bundle. Enjoy!!
I had forgotten that as well, that the album version just fades out. Same with the album version of high hopes. He really improved on that one over the year, making that acoustic outro really stand out
I really do sympathize with all the young people of today that never had the chance to experience Pink Floyd in concert. It is one of my most cherished experiences in life. The whole production was so incredible.
I'm a 74 year old music lover...and a new subscriber...been collecting music since 1955. It's really cool to see young people appreciating the music we grew up with. When they brought this concert to the San Francisco Bay Area (Oakland Coliseum) I stood in line for 3 days to get tickets. I got tickets to all 3 nights. (I'd seen them 3 times before this dating back to the late 60's) The 3rd night a low cloud cover blew in over the stadium and the laser lights bouncing off the moving clouds created a whole new experience. Keep exploring the music. there's so much for you to discover. You love great guitar, then may I suggest Joe Bonamassa doing "Mountain Time" live at the Royal Albert Hall or "Angel of Mercy" live at The Greek Theater.
I was lucky enough to see 3 shows on this tour. At the Earls Court London shows, during this song you could actually see the walls shaking from those big chords. The sound is quadrophonic, so you hear different things from different areas. Never been a show like it, before or since. You need to look at- Comfortably Numb, One of These Days, High Hopes, Run like Hell, all from the Pulse tour.
Delicate sounds of thunder tour 19th feb 1988 Melbourne tennis centre australia, I was 21 yrs old when I got to witness this phenomal group of human beings blow my fucking mind, a truly surreal, magical,spiritual like, out of body experience!! Iv seen some big bands in my days before and after,but for mine, as good as the others were,none would come close to that night in Feb 1988.🤯🤯🤯
Great reaction by both of you. I was at that concert back in '94. PF were the 'initiators' of laser light shows. There is no 'improv.' in a Floyd concert. Today, many places put on light shows to the music of PF. These get called 'Laser Floyd'.
Great reaction guys, yet another gem from Pulse, keep checking out Pulse, every song is gold, and you'll love The Division Bell, will look forward to it.
Yep, The Division Bell is in my top 3 Albums by floyd. Cant wait. Also i dont see enough recomendations for Davids solo album 'On an Island' ...thats amazing too.
Love both of your genuine reactions to this epic band who have always been top notch and super professional in everythig they have done, also in life they are very nice people, i feel very lucky to have listened to their music from my youth till my late 60s, while they of course must be approaching their 80s. Hard to think that hearing & seeing them play. Enjoy.
David Gilmour appears on stage in jeans and a t-shirt looking like a plumber who has just come to your house to fix a leak. In truth he's a musical genius and part of one of the greatest bands in history. I have attended many concerts going as far back as the 1960's and I never saw a production better than this in 1994. It wasn't just a musical event; it was an emotional roller coast of a ride that has stuck with me ever since.
I seen Pulse concert at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta Ga. was the best concert i have ever seen, and the second best was Pink Flyod iin 1976 in Louisville Ky.
A few things about seeing this live. The music volume was incredibly loud, but was so clean (even the distorted parts) that it was never painful. The music felt like it vibrated every cell in your body. They hit bass notes during "Signs of Life" where you couldn't inhale until the note subsided. As for the light show, those lasers went clear to the back of the arena/stadium, so not only was the show in front of you, it was over your head and behind you. The same goes for the sound. They had speakers all around the seating area, so the ambient noises seemed to come from everywhere. In 50 years and almost 200 live shows, I have never seen anything like this.
Fantastic to see the younger generation getting into this epic love for true rock music and the sound of Pink Floyd. They are one of the best!. Hope you explore more from them!
One of the many things Pink Floyd is distinguished for, is their incredible, elaborate live performances, and this 1994 world tour does not disappoint. Although not as elaborate as some other PF tours, their performances were always ahead of everyone else. The stage Pink Floyd was using in 94 is quite impressive on it's own, and HUGE, and the lighting and lazars are top notch as always with PF Some of those the other PF tours the audience would see an airplane on fire flying over the audience, crashing into the stage in a ball of fire,... huge blown-up inflated pigs floating over the audiences,..... giant 35-foot-tall cartoon-like blow up puppets, walking across the stage, and more. (The giant puppets were from The Wall world tour in 1980). I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see a performance of The Wall in February of 1980! Phenomenal, incredible, astounding! Another thing unique about PF, that is not well known, is they designed and owned the stages they performed on and toured with. They would have different stages and lighting every few years when they toured, and virtually everything you see onstage, including the stage itself,... all the lighting,... all the lazar lights, (sometimes coordinated with Gilmours' guitar riffs),... the whole dome-like stage structure ,... ALL that stuff is/was owned by Pink Floyd! I remember reading about how difficult the logistics were of getting from point A to point B with all this large equipment, it was quite an endeavor. For this 1994 tour just getting from the airport to the concert destination took 17 of the large trailer trucks to move the equipment. The set up of the stage, and everything that's on it was 3 full days, and it took 7 to 8 hours to tear it all down after the performance,... and on to another city to do it all again.
They had 2 crews leapfrogging each other to set up. One tearing down the previous show and going to the next one after the present show, etc. saw them in 1994, too 👍🏼💥🤗
@@lynnhoffmann247 Yes, and that reminds me, I seem to recall something about, there were 3 of these huge main stages, traveling around the US, with PFs' team coordinating with each other regarding the cities where they'd be performing,.... something like that.
I saw them live in 1988 at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan on their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and it was absolutely phenomenal! The Pulse tour has the same set up. I paid just under $50 for the ticket; best money I ever spent!! Unforgetable in every way and one of my all time favorite memories.
I’ve been experiencing Pink Floyd now for 52 years,and now being 65 years old I still love their music as much as ever. I listen to them whenever I can.Their old music if released today would still blow minds and be received much as it was way back.Great never gets old.
Sorrow is Amazing live, seen them in 88, A momentary lapse of reason was the album tour that this track is from, get`s a bit of flack for being poppy, and produced live album called Delicate sound of thunder. but live it is truly amazing, this is from Pulse which was the live show of the Division bell.
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 was at night 2 of 4 sold out shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro MA 94’ seeing this live. I still compare all concerts to this one and nothing comes close. That stage was ahead of its time and accompanied the music bringing the whole experience to another level! Seeing it on video does it no justice over seeing it live. When you watch the video really pay attention to the lights as much as possible and you’ll see that stage do some crazy things with light beams
There are many times when a live performance is done so well, it is exciting to see. Or, something happens live a particular shows that is unique. Usually, however, the studio versions are pristine, and perfect.
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.
So, gonna bother to be listening to the studio version of "Sorrow" ever again ?? Pink Floyd live is on a whole different level, Idk if anyone has ever done it better...the music, vocals..the lighting and lasers, every detail is masterful...great reaction guys, so glad you enjoyed !!
We weren't wrong were we? I think your volume is down again, everything everyone says is right, also Run like Hell and keep talking I get up in the morning and run straight to my TV to see if you've done another Pulse, loving it 😚❤
Awesome reaction to this one guys. So may I offer a suggestion. Watch the entire Pulse live concert and you will be in awe on how good everything is. Legendary. One more suggestion. Run like Hell live at Pompeii is amazing especially the finale. That’s all I’m watching more of your reaction vids now. Cheers.
PULSE 1994 Pasadena California.. the most awesome concert I've ever been to.. I'm 61 and have been to a lot of concerts over the years.. And Pink Floyd is one of my Favorite Bands... You Kids should should have been alive in the 80's, best movies, best bands, best of times...I wish i could have been in Prague to see Hans Zimmers Concert with all of the big names in artists playing his movie scores..
I was lucky enough to see this concert live at RFK Stadium back in 1994 as a young teen. My parents allowed me to skip school to get us all tickets. We were about 15 rows back in the pit. Still close enough to see the entire band with the naked eye and all of the visuals while also feeling the heat off the pyrotechnics. I can not begin to describe the Feeling of the music literally inside of your body because of how loud it was! It was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had!!!
Back in my day they used to have Pink Floyd laser light shows at the movie theater Show up💨🍄🥃 and enjoy…………….rocky horror picture show also played there
2nd Greatest Live Guitar Solo Of All Time..... only because "Comfortably Numb" is later in this show. I sparked up my pipe for this one as I always do with Pink Floyd songs
Ah, I’ve been waiting for you to get to this one, wanting to see you react to David Gilmour’s incredible guitar work in this performance. So fun to see both of you just get physically blown away by the power of this masterpiece. Great reaction!
The singer and guitarist of pink Floyd was DAVID Gilmore and i have the concert DVD of the PULSE concert and you guys should react to the PULSE concert song COMFORTABLY NUMB and DAVID Gilmore's guitar solo is considered to be the best one ever, the entire concert is fantastic
Sorrow is such a not near as known Gem, one of absolute top 5 Pink Floyd. When I first found it, my Jaw was down across the floor. Love your reactions.
i mention this because she mentioned the lights are awesome… Floyd was famous for the greatest light shows ever, still hasn’t been beat.. if u watch a lot of Pink Floyd live, u will experience the greatest laser light shows in rock history.. it is crazy how good it sound
it's great to see you young ones reacting to the music of my youth , i have been a pink floyd fan since their beginings in the 60s , i'm 71 and still listen to them every day ! shine on young uns ! :)
The Division Bell Tour was the final concert tour by the English rock band Pink Floyd. It was performed in 1994 to support their album The Division Bell, which was released two days before the tour's start date. Following the tour's conclusion, the group quietly disbanded. In 1995 the band released the live album Pulse to commemorate the tour.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite performance from Pulse. I first heard 'Sorrow' during singer/guitarist David Gilmour's solo tour in 2016. I was a very new Pink Floyd fan from just the year before, and David Gilmour was 70 years old at that time. He still sounded amazing and I instantly loved the intensity of 'Sorrow.' At some point, maybe after reacting to more Pulse, I suggest checking out David Gilmour's solo tours from 2006 (Live in Gdansk) and 2016 (Live in Pompeii).
Not all bands are good live bands. Its always a hard choice about "which is the better track? studio or live?" In general, the answer is STUDIO because they are able to use more time to get the mix that they want to produce. HOWEVER... Pink Floyd is legendary for their live performances (and light shows) from the very beginning of their existence, so picking a Pink Floyd live performance is NEVER a bad idea. (Pink Floyd is/was a four-man band, but the reason you see so many members performing Pink Floyd *live* (at least after Waters quit) is Gilmouir/Wright/Mason doing their best to present on stage what they did in the studio which was produced with *multitudes* of instruments and tracks.)
I could watch Gary Wallis (the percussionist) all day. He surrounds himself with this enormous scaffolding of drums, cymbals and goodness knows what else and just leaps around beating the shit out of everything with absolutely perfect timing. The man is a master of his craft.
I was there live and I promise, you can't get close to what it was like watching the video, the heat and smells from the fireworks going off, the feel of the music hitting you, it was amazing. It looks like a lot of drums because it was, there were two drum kits next to each other and two drummers playing them, one sitting and one standing. Personally I like the solo in this song more than Comfortably Numb, and it has one of the great lines "There's a silence which sound so much louder than words, of promises broken", so true. You lost a vote for pausing in the middle of a great solo.
I saw the Pulse concert in Columbus Ohio when they came through on the American leg of the tour. No other band has come close to putting on a show link this.
They sound Better Live than the Studio Version. Plus you Get to see how AMAZING the Light Show. Two Different Drummers One Drummer and a a percussionist. But what a Great Show LIVE VERSION can't beat the Experience....
This soft spoken british gent, just blew all y'all minds
He's great. Love his reactions.
He's English if you'd like to be more specific
And Nick Mason with perfectly timed cymbal splashes...he desrves much crefit for their sound.
Maybe it went under the radar, but the Hammond organ laid the foundation for the guitar. RIP Rick Wright.
Crushing guitar from Gilmour. A perfect performance from the whole band, and also from the designers and technicians responsible for the light show. Too many people seem unimpressed by the lights, to me it's at least half of the power of this whole show. It's always nice to see people who appreciate it.
This whole concert is the peak of live music. And this song is the peak of the whole show, for me. Flawless execution.
I don't think anyone is unimpressed, they're probably all just stoned or in awe of the spectacle!
@@SirHilaryManfat I believe he was referring to reactors, although I could be wrong. Having been to a Pulse show in Toronto, there is no way you could be unimpressed. ESPECIALLY stoned 😉

Well i was there... and i was Paralysed, you don't dance at a PF Concert, we were all aware we were in a moment of some Musical History.... i cannot forget being there...
Every guitar wants a David Glimour for Christmas.
That whole solo section is just mind-blowing, but when the band drops out and they suck all of the air out of the room and then drop the lights and the bass right on your chest is my favourite part of the whole concert. Alivia was the first person I've seen actually react to those hits. A great reaction all around to one of the best live performances ever recorded.
From the same Pulse Concert, check out RUN LIKE HELL.
Fasten your seat belt.
WhwI'm a 67 yes. Old man who loves to see young people discover what great music is. Truly timeless!
I was lucky enough to be there and the thing which no video can replicate is that the intro and outro riff literally rearranged your molecules, you did not just hear it, it vibrated through your whole body

@@mikewatts867 I couldn't agree more. How are they ahead of their time when today's music has in many ways regressed. They are not getting the same quality and creativity out of their music today. Most don't know better until they take a deep dive into yesterday's songs;ü
I just find it difficult to hold back the tears listening/watching this video. That’s how Floyd’s music effects me!
tears every time, just for the love of music, tears of joy.
Me too every time expecially when I'm watching a 1st time reaction.....
Chills and gooseboomps every time
Has been doing that to me for 45 years still does
I'm nearly 70yo and still enjoy the tears
I worked for Pink Floyd on that tour 1994 Division Bell. 55 Trucks on the road and 600 technicinas to build the stage...........
My imposible Desire: hear any random Pink Floyd song for the first time again. Mind blowing
Don't forget about mr. Wright's keys. Listen to his organ/ synth lines. Epic.
I love to see young people watching Pink Floyd, excellent. You don't watch them,you experiment them. Bravo from Spain.
By live PULSE :
🔜Run like hell
🔜 One of these days
🔜 Coming back to life
At 59 years old, this is my medicine and drug of choice... music that soothes the soul, takes you on a outward journey and sends chills down your spine. I saw them at 14 years old in Milwaukee, WI (an infamous show; because an inflatable Pig floating around, just... blew up!!), It was their "Animals" Tour. I got a huge piece of that Pig; sadly while in the Marines my Mom found it in a truck in the basement that flooded and she threw it away - to her it was a big piece of useless plastic!! I allowed her to live yet it took many sessions of therapy! At barely 14, it simply (like the Pig; lol) blew me away!! My all-time favorite band!! ~ Glad you've been enjoying them as much as I did and still do!! \m/
This whole concert is a Masterpiece. Every song is performed so much better than the near perfect studio versions. This performance is akin to the Ancient Greek Gods stepping down from Mt. Olympus to perform for the common folk... ❤❤❤
Looking forward to you doing Echoes live at Pompeii, 1971. You'll love it.
Great guys! More reactions of Pulse concert please!
I knew you'd love this more than the studio version.
The two gold lasers were the only two in the world when this concert was filmed. VERY expensive 😱
Next to comfortably numb this is one of the all time great solos ever
Yes indeed and number one never pause in a David Gilmour guitar solo
I'd argue his On The Turning Away solo is his best ever
I first saw the Floyd in 1972 and saw them many times through the years but this was something very special. I will always remember this concert at Earls Court, superb from start to finish.
this group has entered the legend
To be able to see this live masterpiece for free is almost unbelievable. This is a class AAA live production performance from almost 30 years ago. I know of no band today who are capable of a performance of this magnitude. This is just a small fraction of the entire show. I'm 60 years old and kick myself everytime I watch this video wondering why I didn't attend this show. You both have a good excuse....I do not. Lol
Great reaction!
I`m 60 too and feel the same way, although at the time I wasn't into Pink Floyd , mainly because I hadn't really listened to them or knew anyone who was, as with ye olde days you sort of found out about bands off friends lol . I`m making up for it now though .. I did got to the same venue in 1983 to see Supertramp`s last concert together at Early Court, which their next album without Roger hodgson needed a replacement and got Dave Gilmour to play guitars on it .
The greatest live band in history.
You will never see their like again.
Floyd used the quadrophonic sound system at their shows which just envelopes you in sound, as good as the visuals are the sound was even better imo.
360°!
Any Live Pulse song is amazing.
Been waiting for this one, and seeing the smile on both your faces made the wait worthwhile, well done guys for a great reaction👌✌
Silas every song you reviewed has a live version at this concert seriously dude check them out. You won't be disappointed great reaction guys.....
Yah, so excited for you to see this...... when I watched your album version revue the other day, I realised that the album version (with the fade out) does not end like this live version, tying the song from beginning to end in a neat little bundle. Enjoy!!
I had forgotten that as well, that the album version just fades out. Same with the album version of high hopes. He really improved on that one over the year, making that acoustic outro really stand out
I was at that gig and it was mind blowing! I didn't just see/hear it, I could feel it too and that's the power of great music live!
I really do sympathize with all the young people of today that never had the chance to experience Pink Floyd in concert. It is one of my most cherished experiences in life.
The whole production was so incredible.
You guys should watch this entire show. They do Dark Side of the Moon. Then check out Live in Pompeii. They perform in a Roman amphitheater.
Floyd is a visual experience as much listened to. I was at this gig and had tears rolling down my face for most of the time. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
I'm a 74 year old music lover...and a new subscriber...been collecting music since 1955. It's really cool to see young people appreciating the music we grew up with. When they brought this concert to the San Francisco Bay Area (Oakland Coliseum) I stood in line for 3 days to get tickets. I got tickets to all 3 nights. (I'd seen them 3 times before this dating back to the late 60's) The 3rd night a low cloud cover blew in over the stadium and the laser lights bouncing off the moving clouds created a whole new experience. Keep exploring the music. there's so much for you to discover. You love great guitar, then may I suggest Joe Bonamassa doing "Mountain Time" live at the Royal Albert Hall or "Angel of Mercy" live at The Greek Theater.
I was lucky enough to see 3 shows on this tour. At the Earls Court London shows, during this song you could actually see the walls shaking from those big chords.
The sound is quadrophonic, so you hear different things from different areas. Never been a show like it, before or since.
You need to look at- Comfortably Numb, One of These Days, High Hopes, Run like Hell, all from the Pulse tour.
Delicate sounds of thunder tour 19th feb 1988 Melbourne tennis centre australia, I was 21 yrs old when I got to witness this phenomal group of human beings blow my fucking mind, a truly surreal, magical,spiritual like, out of body experience!!
Iv seen some big bands in my days before and after,but for mine, as good as the others were,none would come close to that night in Feb 1988.🤯🤯🤯
Does my heart good to see the younger generations carry the great classic rock torch to the future...great job guys!!! Keep rocking
Great reaction by both of you. I was at that concert back in '94. PF were the 'initiators' of laser light shows. There is no 'improv.' in a Floyd concert. Today, many places put on light shows to the music of PF. These get called 'Laser Floyd'.
Great reaction guys, yet another gem from Pulse, keep checking out Pulse, every song is gold, and you'll love The Division Bell, will look forward to it.
Yep, The Division Bell is in my top 3 Albums by floyd. Cant wait. Also i dont see enough recomendations for Davids solo album 'On an Island'
...thats amazing too.
Love both of your genuine reactions to this epic band who have always been top notch and super professional in everythig they have done, also in life they are very nice people, i feel very lucky to have listened to their music from my youth till my late 60s, while they of course must be approaching their 80s. Hard to think that hearing & seeing them play. Enjoy.
David is now 78…….same age as Jimmy Page. God…doesn’t seem possible. But then, it seems IMPOSSIBLE that I am now in my 70’s. 🤯
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 yes and i am 68 how did that happen! It suddenly hits you one min 30s next week 65 then all down hill from there it seems.
@@paulkent2840 Yes, they are nice people. Unlike Roger Waters who is a total knob head!
David Gilmour appears on stage in jeans and a t-shirt looking like a plumber who has just come to your house to fix a leak.
In truth he's a musical genius and part of one of the greatest bands in history.
I have attended many concerts going as far back as the 1960's and I never saw a production better than this in 1994. It wasn't just a musical event; it was an emotional roller coast of a ride that has stuck with me ever since.
The whole concert was like this. It was awesome and speechless.
Look at you!! A sponsored video!! Keep it up! 😃
I seen Pulse concert at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta Ga. was the best concert i have ever seen, and the second best was Pink Flyod iin 1976 in Louisville Ky.
Those chicks we so mesmerizing in concert... they'd backlight them with different colors depending on the mood.
Great show. 9th row. 2.5 hits😁
A few things about seeing this live. The music volume was incredibly loud, but was so clean (even the distorted parts) that it was never painful. The music felt like it vibrated every cell in your body. They hit bass notes during "Signs of Life" where you couldn't inhale until the note subsided. As for the light show, those lasers went clear to the back of the arena/stadium, so not only was the show in front of you, it was over your head and behind you. The same goes for the sound. They had speakers all around the seating area, so the ambient noises seemed to come from everywhere. In 50 years and almost 200 live shows, I have never seen anything like this.
Fantastic to see the younger generation getting into this epic love for true rock music and the sound of Pink Floyd. They are one of the best!. Hope you explore more from them!
One of the many things Pink Floyd is distinguished for, is their incredible, elaborate live performances, and this 1994 world tour does not disappoint. Although not as elaborate as some other PF tours, their performances were always ahead of everyone else. The stage Pink Floyd was using in 94 is quite impressive on it's own, and HUGE, and the lighting and lazars are top notch as always with PF
Some of those the other PF tours the audience would see an airplane on fire flying over the audience, crashing into the stage in a ball of fire,... huge blown-up inflated pigs floating over the audiences,..... giant 35-foot-tall cartoon-like blow up puppets, walking across the stage, and more. (The giant puppets were from The Wall world tour in 1980).
I was fortunate enough to get tickets to see a performance of The Wall in February of 1980! Phenomenal, incredible, astounding!
Another thing unique about PF, that is not well known, is they designed and owned the stages they performed on and toured with. They would have different stages and lighting every few years when they toured, and virtually everything you see onstage, including the stage itself,... all the lighting,... all the lazar lights, (sometimes coordinated with Gilmours' guitar riffs),... the whole dome-like stage structure ,...
ALL that stuff is/was owned by Pink Floyd!
I remember reading about how difficult the logistics were of getting from point A to point B with all this large equipment, it was quite an endeavor. For this 1994 tour just getting from the airport to the concert destination took 17 of the large trailer trucks to move the equipment. The set up of the stage, and everything that's on it was 3 full days, and it took 7 to 8 hours to tear it all down after the performance,... and on to another city to do it all again.
They had 2 crews leapfrogging each other to set up. One tearing down the previous show and going to the next one after the present show, etc. saw them in 1994, too 👍🏼💥🤗
@@lynnhoffmann247 Yes, and that reminds me, I seem to recall something about, there were 3 of these huge main stages, traveling around the US, with PFs' team coordinating with each other regarding the cities where they'd be performing,.... something like that.
@@scozz6139 Yes, I believe you’re right. 👍🏼
I am 60 years old and what a pleasure to see young people appreciate this immense musical group!
I saw this live in 1994.......... unreal!!!!!
Pink Floyd live without the light show is like an emptied suit.
More Pulse! Please
I saw them live in 1988 at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan on their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and it was absolutely phenomenal! The Pulse tour has the same set up. I paid just under $50 for the ticket; best money I ever spent!! Unforgetable in every way and one of my all time favorite memories.
I love seeing young people react to Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands of all time. This is my absolute favorite concert. The entire concert.
I’ve been experiencing Pink Floyd now for 52 years,and now being 65 years old I still love their music as much as ever. I listen to them whenever I can.Their old music if released today would still blow minds and be received much as it was way back.Great never gets old.
Sorrow is Amazing live, seen them in 88, A momentary lapse of reason was the album tour that this track is from, get`s a bit of flack for being poppy, and produced live album called Delicate sound of thunder. but live it is truly amazing, this is from Pulse which was the live show of the Division bell.
Yo guys great reaction! love it! Please try Pink Floyd's pulse live ' One of these days' and 'Run Like hell'
Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd !
The greatest band of all time..
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 was at night 2 of 4 sold out shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro MA 94’ seeing this live. I still compare all concerts to this one and nothing comes close. That stage was ahead of its time and accompanied the music bringing the whole experience to another level! Seeing it on video does it no justice over seeing it live. When you watch the video really pay attention to the lights as much as possible and you’ll see that stage do some crazy things with light beams
There are many times when a live performance is done so well, it is exciting to see. Or, something happens live a particular shows that is unique. Usually, however, the studio versions are pristine, and perfect.
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.
mind blowing.... Wow wow and wow
the best concert i ever went to was pink floyd. light show is crazy in person
So, gonna bother to be listening to the studio version of "Sorrow" ever again ?? Pink Floyd live is on a whole different level, Idk if anyone has ever done it better...the music, vocals..the lighting and lasers, every detail is masterful...great reaction guys, so glad you enjoyed !!
Already did studio.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Yes, I know...I'm asking him if he'll ever bother to listen to the studio version ever again
We weren't wrong were we? I think your volume is down again, everything everyone says is right, also Run like Hell and keep talking I get up in the morning and run straight to my TV to see if you've done another Pulse, loving it 😚❤
best band of all times 😎👍 Next one from Pink floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert 1989 ) 🎶🎶🎸🎸
Before Division Bell, see On the Turning Away Live... One of the best guitar solos of Pink Floyd
Awesome reaction to this one guys. So may I offer a suggestion. Watch the entire Pulse live concert and you will be in awe on how good everything is. Legendary.
One more suggestion. Run like Hell live at Pompeii is amazing especially the finale.
That’s all I’m watching more of your reaction vids now. Cheers.
Both of you. Echoes live Pompeii next.
PULSE 1994 Pasadena California.. the most awesome concert I've ever been to.. I'm 61 and have been to a lot of concerts over the years.. And Pink Floyd is one of my Favorite Bands... You Kids should should have been alive in the 80's, best movies, best bands, best of times...I wish i could have been in Prague to see Hans Zimmers Concert with all of the big names in artists playing his movie scores..
I was lucky enough to see this concert live at RFK Stadium back in 1994 as a young teen. My parents allowed me to skip school to get us all tickets. We were about 15 rows back in the pit. Still close enough to see the entire band with the naked eye and all of the visuals while also feeling the heat off the pyrotechnics. I can not begin to describe the Feeling of the music literally inside of your body because of how loud it was! It was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had!!!
Back in my day they used to have Pink Floyd laser light shows at the movie theater Show up💨🍄🥃 and enjoy…………….rocky horror picture show also played there
2nd Greatest Live Guitar Solo Of All Time..... only because "Comfortably Numb" is later in this show. I sparked up my pipe for this one as I always do with Pink Floyd songs
Ah, I’ve been waiting for you to get to this one, wanting to see you react to David Gilmour’s incredible guitar work in this performance. So fun to see both of you just get physically blown away by the power of this masterpiece. Great reaction!
The singer and guitarist of pink Floyd was DAVID Gilmore and i have the concert DVD of the PULSE concert and you guys should react to the PULSE concert song COMFORTABLY NUMB and DAVID Gilmore's guitar solo is considered to be the best one ever, the entire concert is fantastic
Sorrow is such a not near as known Gem, one of absolute top 5 Pink Floyd. When I first found it, my Jaw was down across the floor. Love your reactions.
Great reaction!
i mention this because she mentioned the lights are awesome… Floyd was famous for the greatest light shows ever, still hasn’t been beat.. if u watch a lot of Pink Floyd live, u will experience the greatest laser light shows in rock history.. it is crazy how good it sound
"Run Like Hell" from this concert has to be the greatest end to any concert by anyone anywhere !
it's great to see you young ones reacting to the music of my youth , i have been a pink floyd fan since their beginings in the 60s , i'm 71 and still listen to them every day ! shine on young uns ! :)
The Division Bell Tour was the final concert tour by the English rock band Pink Floyd. It was performed in 1994 to support their album The Division Bell, which was released two days before the tour's start date. Following the tour's conclusion, the group quietly disbanded.
In 1995 the band released the live album Pulse to commemorate the tour.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite performance from Pulse. I first heard 'Sorrow' during singer/guitarist David Gilmour's solo tour in 2016. I was a very new Pink Floyd fan from just the year before, and David Gilmour was 70 years old at that time. He still sounded amazing and I instantly loved the intensity of 'Sorrow.' At some point, maybe after reacting to more Pulse, I suggest checking out David Gilmour's solo tours from 2006 (Live in Gdansk) and 2016 (Live in Pompeii).
I would say “Run Like Hell” next.
More epicness.
Pink Floyd is FAMOUS for the Light show's in their CONCERTS
Not all bands are good live bands. Its always a hard choice about "which is the better track? studio or live?" In general, the answer is STUDIO because they are able to use more time to get the mix that they want to produce. HOWEVER... Pink Floyd is legendary for their live performances (and light shows) from the very beginning of their existence, so picking a Pink Floyd live performance is NEVER a bad idea. (Pink Floyd is/was a four-man band, but the reason you see so many members performing Pink Floyd *live* (at least after Waters quit) is Gilmouir/Wright/Mason doing their best to present on stage what they did in the studio which was produced with *multitudes* of instruments and tracks.)
I remember dialing over and over for hours to the ticketmaster hotline to get tickets for this show at RFK stadium. I never got through.
I could watch Gary Wallis (the percussionist) all day. He surrounds himself with this enormous scaffolding of drums, cymbals and goodness knows what else and just leaps around beating the shit out of everything with absolutely perfect timing.
The man is a master of his craft.
I saw this in Earles Court in 94, it's still the best gig I have ever attended. I love that you guys are discovering the music I grew up with.
It was GREAT I still have a t-shirt .
In my opinion, the best concert of all time.
I was there live and I promise, you can't get close to what it was like watching the video, the heat and smells from the fireworks going off, the feel of the music hitting you, it was amazing. It looks like a lot of drums because it was, there were two drum kits next to each other and two drummers playing them, one sitting and one standing. Personally I like the solo in this song more than Comfortably Numb, and it has one of the great lines "There's a silence which sound so much louder than words, of promises broken", so true. You lost a vote for pausing in the middle of a great solo.
I saw the Pulse concert in Columbus Ohio when they came through on the American leg of the tour. No other band has come close to putting on a show link this.
They sound Better Live than the Studio Version. Plus you Get to see how AMAZING the Light Show. Two Different Drummers One Drummer and a a percussionist. But what a Great Show LIVE VERSION can't beat the Experience....
