"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" must be one of the best lyrics in a song without any lyrics.
Also, Pink Floyd is not ahead of their time... They exist outside of time, timeless, immortal
Great point.
I also believe that it's Nick Mason's ONLY vocal contribution on the entire Floyd catalogue since they started out in 1965.
They created time
Agreed...... just one line that has nothing to do with anything..... the music is incredible
He also did vocals on Scream Thy Last Scream
The show that I went to in 1994 in Columbus Ohio this is the song that ended the first half of the show. When the first explosion took place and the pigs came out. A guy behind us stood up and yelled "the F'ing pigs are going to kill us", and the ran out of the stadium! My uncle looked at me and told me never to take drugs!
I was at that show in Columbus and you are correct. I was thinking of the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour when the opened the 2nd set with One of These Days.
Yeah it caused him to miss half a legendary show. Oh, the horror...
I was there too
I was also at a Concert at this Toure... in Munich........
I didn't go, but I remember well when that concert occurred - at the time I was a senior in college at Toledo and two of my [younger] friends went (I, an engineering student, was "too busy"). It was described as "legendary". Ah, regrets!
The late great Richard Wright. RIP you absolute genius.
Dont forget Syd Barret! The legend of "Echoes" and so much more. But yes. That man, in the keys and special imaginative instruments and sounds...MAGIC!
He directed the Pulse concerts . Yes , an absolute genius .. note , the arm up to David everytime the next phase was to start . ❤
Richard was the unseen Maestro of the band, a lovely person and brilliant musician.
Nobody ever mention Nick Mason what a drummer and so calm
with John Bonham from led zeppelin they were my inspiration in the 70 s , and still are
I am a simple man. Stacey reacts Pink Floyd, I run and watch! Thank you as always, you are wonderful...
Something truly magical about it.
I repeat, Jethro Tull, Tull, Tuuuull!🎉❤😅😊🦬❤️
''One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces'' is drummer Nick Mason’s only vocal contribution on Floyd´s classic studio albums.
On the original studio recording it's a bit more buried in the mix, and if you don't know it's there you might not even notice it in the flow of electronic noise. I've known this song since I was around ten years old, and bought the Meddle album when I was fourteen, but it wasn't until several years later that I consciously noticed that there was a lyric there - before that I had just thought of that bit as "treated vocal grunts" without any words to them.
Besides Corporal Clegg
And if you go and catch him on Tour In US, UK and Europe he'll open the show with this song.
@@louise_rose They also brought the 'Dr Who' theme more to the front. The lyric was directed at Jimmy Young a Radio 2 DJ who said that Pink Floyd was just noise. (Radio 2 was station that played easy listening).
@@garyanning9731 Mmm. :) This track could well be called "proto-industrial rock". - Even though I didn't notice the lyrics until after I had turned twenty, ,I think the sense of anger and frustration in the middle section of the track is something I registered early on.
''One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces'' that is the lyric 🤣 and ''run like hell'' is the last one
She knows as she has reacted to that already. Maybe she forgot?
Roger Waters sucks
@@alphaomega3499 yeh his politics are atrocious but he wrote some good pink floyd music.
Fun fact: Nick Mason fondly remembers when he played this song back in Pompeii, the film director had lost a lot of the footage of the other players, so what we get to see most was his drumming
and for some reason, it turned into a brilliant piece of video. Nick was in his prime and looked great. Suggested vid.
Yes,best thing that happened,Nick Mason deserves to be centre stage.🎉
I think that’s the song where he lost a drumstick!
Also, this is the only Pink Floyd song where Nick contributes any vocals.
And never misses a beat when a stick flies out of his hand.
I wish I could hear Pink Floyd...for the first time. Been listening for decades....and still love them as much.
@@metricdeep8856 they are able to trigger emotional responses that other bands don't even come near.
Have you noticed that no other band has tried to replicate their style of music, because they can’t because they are awesome and one of a kind
Amen
There is no original band that can think past 3-5 min.
@@arclight545 Actually, there are many IF you look.
@JimPauley-n6b they are unique much like the DOORS
Les Claypool from Primus has a band called The Flying Frog Brigade they do a reenactment of Pigs 3 different Ones it's absolutely incredible
Flawless performance. This was the closer for the first half. After break they play Dark Side in its entirety. Props to Guy on the bass! And of course David on slide. What a show!
Stacy I love it that you love it. A new Floyd fan. They are undescribable. And I can't imagine the world without them to enrich us all.
The bass player, Guy Pratt, has been with David Gilmore ever since this concert and is with him on his current tour. He is Richard Wrights son in law.
the 1st song of Pulse concert is Shine on you crazy diamond .. and the last song is Run Like Hell .. good day to you 😎👍
The shows I attended started with Astronomy Domine
@@paulblay2330 ok. to the Pulse concert video started with Shine on you crazy diamond .
The alternate set list had Astronomy Domine start the show with just 4 players on stage, none of the touring musicians (aside from Guy Pratt) played on that one.
@@ianfortier6796 😎👍
Did anyone else have the two cassette pulse set? If so, do you remember what was on the second cassette after the concert ends? It's so damn cool!
Outstanding! Your Pink Floyd reactions are so fun to watch. Your smile and laughter brighten my day.
At the Montreal concert, this song was the 9th played, right between "Keep Talking" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)".
You're absolutely right about the audience remaining seated and focused during the songs, but loudly expressing their appreciation at the end of each song.
I saw this concert two nights in a row at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and I certainly don't regret it, it's the best show I've seen in my entire life.
Pink Floyd.... either you get them or you don't! Stacey gets them.....we had so much good music in the 70's....
@@DanOConnell-t2z very fortunate to have grown up in that era of music. So many talented musicians and a world of joy and unity amongst the listeners.
This is an overlooked gem. My favorite Pink Floyd song.
Great reaction Stacey!! Nope - that's intermission! Set 2 was the live performance of the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album. What a way to end set 1! The concert opening track was Shine On You Crazy Diamond!
My jaw was on the floor seeing this song's performance for the first time! They really ramped up the sonic bombardment over the studio version! Special note to Dave on this - yes, I love his 'knowing' smile during this performance - he's probably thinking 'oh boy, just you wait, we're going to go CRAZY!!' (in the most British way possible). And yes - that bassline is beyond fire!
Cheers!!
I feel so privileged to have seen them live in person in Madison, WI, and especially to hear them play the Doctor Who for me. I mean us. And in the rain!! But we didn't care. Incredible musicians.
The intro for the concert is called "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "One Of These Days" wraps up the first half of the night; then, "Speak To Me/Breathe" opens the second half and "Run Like Hell" is the grand finale.
Indeed, "One Of These Days" is the first song of their album Meddle, tho.
Considering you fangirling to David's glances and faces, I highly recommend also checking out "Remember That Night", "Meltdown Concert", "Live in Gdansk", "Live at Pompeii" and "Live in Wroclaw".
All of those are concerts from his solo career.
This was the opening song for Pink Floyd at the 1972 Second British Rock Gathering, in Germersheim, Germany! And ever since, it is my favorite PF song! I don't drink coffee, so to get going in the morning I put this on and turn my amp up to 11! 😊 Glad you liked it....🎵
Your Pink Floyd reaction videos are excellent. Thank you.
David's face reflects the fact that he knows he is the best in the world
The Floyd dark trippin’ w/ Dr. Who!!! 💎😎
Seems like only the old school Dr Who fans catch that. 😉
I caught it the first time I heard the song. But I wasn’t 100% sure, because I had never seen an episode. But I still thought it was rebel cool to put a somewhat obscure (in the US, at least) TV show theme within their music. 😎
Nice reaction Stacey, The lyric is "one of these day's I'm going to chop you into little pieces" I saw them twice on the delectate sounds of thunder tour in 88 and they were just amazing. The drummer Nick Mason now tours with his own band A saucerful of Secrets who play old Floyd pre Dark side and this is off Meddle and I saw them last Wednesday when they finished with this. If you get a chance to see them then do as though not the full Floyd experience they are really amazing. Highlights for me were See Emily Play, Atom Hart Mother, Echoes and Set the Controls for the Hart of the Sun. They had also managed to lift Sid's vocals off a demo tape from an unreleased song from before they had a record deal in 1965 and with modem tech played Sid's vocal and they played the music.
You made my day S. I saw this concert. Years later it’s still jaw dropping. Glad to have you on board.
This was an absolute highlight when I saw them on that tour. 100,000 people screaming and pointing at the pigs in amazement. Keep it coming Stacy. You're ready for Shine on you crazy diamond. Bom bom bom bom...if you know, you know fellow Floyd fans
The instrument David is playing is called a "peddle steel guitar". It is used a lot in country music. Of course David Gilmour plays it amazingly. And the one line of words in this song is "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces".
The band were big fans of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's electronic music and sound effects output at the BBC that began in the late-1950s, early-60s. The Workshop were group of electronic engineers and mathematicians at the BBC that used old electronic machines, scientific reading equipment and anything to hand to create special sounds. They're most famous for the 'Doctor Who' theme, composed by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire back in 1963.
Pink Floyd have said that the Dr Who theme really made an impression and influence on them in their early years that they incorporated a small section of the theme into One of These Days to pay homage to the theme, Delia and the Workshop and can be heard at the 3:35 mark.
I mentioned this on another reaction but your explanation was much better than mine..
Keep the Floyd reactions coming please, I’m loving your journey of discovery 😀
"One of These Days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces)" is from the Meddle Album over 50 years ago. When I first heard this song in my teenage years, this song sparked my imagination of an ongoing and bitter battle between an evil wizard and a vengeful barbarian who lost his woman to the evil wizard, where the battles always ended up in a stalemate between the two and they would retreat to heal and regain their strength, and battle again on another day.
The bass at the beginning of the song is the barbarian mounted on his horse, with his wolf companion running by his side through the dust and wind (Richard's keyboards) of the plains, to get to the dark castle to face down the wizard who is inside. Meanwhile, the wizard is busy raising up an army of skeleton warriors with his necromancer spells (which is the sound of the Daves guitar, and Nick's drums) to defend himself and to defeat the barbarian. As the gate of the castle is breached, the barbarian shouts out, "ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!" and then the battle ensues between the barbarian and his wolf versus the wizard's skeletons. The wizard stays back behind the skeletons, weakened by the amount of magic he used to put up his defense against the barbarian. The barbarian sees his woman imprisoned (but ALIVE!) behind the wizard, and becomes excited, but also enraged that she has suffered for a long period of time. At this point, Dave's guitar, Richard's keyboards, and Nick's drums kick it up several notches to denote the epic battle as the barbarian and wolf fight hard against the skeletons and peeling them off one at a time (by each rollover of Nick's drums), until Dave's very last note where he finally dispatches the wizard with the last swing of his sword. I will leave the rest of the story to your own imaginations!
O
Another classic from Pink Floyd!!!👍👍
Love your reaction to PF as always. I just scored tix to David Glimour's show in NYC this November!!!! So excited. Will be my first time ever seeing/hearing him.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" A song about bacon. Not really. They used to have a sound tape of a British DJ, Jimmy Young, who used to talk and talk and talk trivial nonsense. They cut up the tape into sections and used it in concerts. That was the basis of the idea behind the title. The Doctor Who theme was later incorporated into it. The bass theme was Rogers idea, but when he was out of the studio, David recorded the bass parts for the record. The Pig was first used for the Animals tour, and used to fly out over the crowd on a wire. This was repeated for the Wall shows during Run Like Hell, and One Of These Days for the Momentary Lapse tour, when it was the first song of the second set. I was there for two of those gigs (! ) and at one of them, it was right over my head, dipping towards me. Quite scary. I was also at one of Earl's Court Pulse shows. The set list varied, some nights they played all of Dark Side Of The Moon. The night I was there, One Of These Days closed the first half. I was about a third of the way back from the stage and could feel the heat from the flame jets at the end. One of my top five concerts of all time.
Thank YOU for finding Pink Floyd, I had no idea that some people have never heard them before! Better late than never!👍✌️🥳
The bassist Guy Pratt is the son of British actor Mike Pratt, best known for his role in the 1960s show Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).
Never knew that.. love random facts like that
Thanks for that.
I love trivia like this. Cheers 👍
He was also married the Rick Wrights daughter.
U know Stacy!!!! Love your comments! Keep it up babe!!!
Me again! It's probably been mentioned already, but in case it hasn't, the bass player is Guy Pratt. It's an understatement to say this man is talented, but what you may not know is that he had a very famous father; Mike Pratt who was an actor/musician/song writer and starred in one of the best crime detective series to ever grace our tellies over here, which was Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).
Remember it well . Didn't know Guy was a son . .What I do know is he's a brilliant bassist .
Hey you thanks for taking me back in time! Don't forget about the momentary lapse of reason tour! My first Pink Floyd concert wich at that time was the best concert I'd ever seen. Then pulse came wow,wow,wow!!!!!! By the way pink Floyd is in the Guinness book of world records for the amount of instruments used on tour! Thanks again for the ride down memory lane.
I was fortunate enough to see the Pulse Tour at Earls Court London. It was the best gig I've been to.
Same here, never to be forgotten, never to be bettered.
Great reaction to Pink Floyd again Stacey. I love your reactions to this band. The greatest thing about this song is that it won’t take you long to learn the lyrics lol❤️🏴🇬🇧
Just so you know Stacey, Floyd almost always "ends" their concerts with this song, but then come back for an encore and the show ends with "Run Like Hell". Not every show, but it was a pretty common pattern.
Damn I just got a chill seeing you react to the lyric kick in. Seeing the light of comprehension spread across your face just me so happy for you. Amazing. Thanks for reacting to this song!🤘
Love David and all of them! Since I was a teen never grew tired of them!
Glad you loved this song! It’s one of my favorites from Pink Floyd. I love the slow burn you described. Watching Gilmour play calms my soul.
Experiencing this song, at this show, on the last night of the tour, was the moment I shifted from liking Pink Floyd to being a fan.
Other Pink Floyd bangers to react to "Have A Cigar" and "Welcome to the Machine" is a must. Great reactions as always Stacey.
This song marked the end of the first half of the concert. The second half was the entire Dark Side of the Moon album.
I love watching your reactions to these classic PF tracks. Its like hearing them for the first time again. Love the joy on your face and seeing it literally take your breath away at times.
Their first set closer. The second set was entire DSOTM album and 3 encores.
Some of the time, yes. I was lucky enough to be there the first night they played Dark Side in its entirety. July 15 at the Silverdome just outside of Detroit. That was about 3 1/2 months into the tour. They probably played Dark Side 1/3 of the nights over the duration of the tour. Maybe a bit more.
They finished with run like hell , from the wall !
@@brianjohnston4117 Yeah, the last two encores were always Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell.
Great reaction, Stacey. We saw this show live in Philly and when this song ended (ending the first set), one of my friends commented that we needed to go to the box office and give them more money, since we had clearly underpaid for the tickets. And we still had the entire Dark Side of the Moon album (set 2) and the encores still to come. I saw them 5 times on this tour and have been to over 200 concerts. To this day, I still believe this to be one of the best concerts of all time.
I‘m recommending „keep talking“ once again‚ you should definitely try it it’s from the same concert.❤
I saw this show at the Pontiac Silverdome. My friends and I were 15th row, on the floor, stage right. When this song played I couldn't belive how intense the heat was from the flames lighting at the front of the stage. There were 80,000 people there. My friend, that I drove there with, and I got there late because the traffic was so heavy. The security was so tight in there and they checked your ticket about every 20 feet to make sure you were going where you were supposed to be. So, when we walked into the stadium, Shine On You Crazy Diamond had just started. By the time we got to our seats they just started playing the third song. To this day it is still the best, most mind blowing concert I have ever witnessed. I still occasionally wear the concert shirt I bought.
The very early PinkFloyd Songs are soooooo Psychedelic....... 🥳
Thank you Stacey for this.
As a young teenager on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin, circa 1979, I heard this song on the radio a few times, and fell instantly in love. It was a sound that I'd never heard before. Didn't know the name of it because, you know, wacky FM DJ's don't care about the music, just mindless gabbing. All I knew is that it was by Pink Floyd. And so, whenever I would get to the record store about 20 miles away, I would buy every Pink Floyd album they had just in the hopes of getting the one with this song on it. Finally I did, and that's how I got into the music of this band. So many great memories!
The spoken part "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" is a Nick Mason distorted voice.
I remember this track on The Old Grey Whistle Test sometime round 1973.
It was the backing track to an animation of a dancing man. Totally mesmerising, it's probably on TH-cam somewhere.
I love that your loving Floyd. These guys are on another level💖
I'll explain David Gilmour's style.
Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote:
David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement.
His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror.
David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer.
Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it and release like an Opera Singer.
Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines.
About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform.
For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking.
A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos.
I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it.
When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...."
I thought, WHAT THE HELL?
I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time.
Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning.
That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement.
Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!"
All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time.
However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time.
If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired)
It goes from B down to E and repeats.
David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play."
To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist.
Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉
Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤
Alice Cooper said something like,
"Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉
❤😊🎉
Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice ❤
Amazing, love this song...That was from the end of the first part of the concert...SO excited every time you react to Pink Floyd check out "yet another movie" from the delicate sound of thunder live tour back in 86-87...
Guy Pratt is playing base
Stacey, I am so glad that PF moves you so. They move us all. I must say that I have watched so many of your reactions and wow, so cool!
I was there in 1994 at Earls Court where I believe from memory that Pink Floyd performed perhaps 8 Consecutive Gigs and totally sure that every night was Sold Out.
Not only was the Band, light show, Standard of Musicianship and outstanding compositions if ALL these Songs, but the PA was like a TOP CLASS HI-FI System AND in Quadraphonic, so there were Speaker at the Back of the Hall and each Side of Hall as well as sound coming from the front of you.
The expectation we all had; the excitement we all had was like a bomb going off; there was no stopping this euphoria!!
The Show we saw left us all exhausted with pure happiness and I'm sure this was the case every night. David's emotional Voice, Guitar Playing, Pedal Steel Guitar and Smile, just so infectious, but took ALL performer's to create such a wonderfully outstanding and never to be repeated Concert!!!!!asers
Me...1994 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse NY...seated close to the stage, but off to the left side about 12 rows high...tapping on someones shoulder..."Um, you see giant pigs with laser eyes staring at us too....right?" Only could happen at a Pink Floyd show!!! 😂😂😂😂 I was only drinking and maybe breathing some concert aroma....with the lights and incredible music....I was starting to question what I was seeing! Those pigs were scary as heck from where I was sitting, the one on my side would have been in my lap if it didn't stop!!! At it keep looking around like it was looking for the person it wanted as a snack after "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little peices!" This was the first concert I ever left feeling like I didn't pay enough for the experience...don't recall the ticket price....but, I would have paid 10 times the amount and not felt like it was enough for the incredible memories.
When you think this is a 1971 track off meddle, so far ahead of their time. I was in this croud for this recording at earls court London 1994..... This was the end of the first half of the show
Great reaction as always! Run Like Hell was the last song in this concert. David said good night, and they all bowed to the audience.
hello stacey 😁you can fangirl as much as you want with PF 🤣
Thanks, Stacey. Great reaction! Hey, I love those hexagon lights on your wall. Where can I buy them?
Hi Stacey! New sub here and absolute Pink Floyd/David Gilmour fan from Idaho. You should check out David Gilmour "Live At Pompeii" from 2016. David was the first live performance at the Pompeii Amphitheater since 79 A.D.!! 22 years after "Pulse", David Gilmour puts on a performance that is simply amazing! Also, you should listen to "A Boat Lies Waiting". This is a tribute to the late Richard Wright, Pink Floyd's piano/keyboard player.
Thanks Stacey❤
Love your "former volleyballer" vibes!
This is obviously from their earlier "experimental" works but carries a great melodic line that just F-ing ROCKS!!
"Fun" is the word for the day!
I think One Of These Days was the last song of the first half of the show. And yeah, the pigs are a callback to Animals - there's a giant inflatable pig on the Animals album cover (which started drifting off during the photoshoot but that's another story!) and I think they used one during the Animals tour as well.
Wasn't one of these days from the meddle album? That came out in 71 or 72. Animals came out in 77.
Yeah, it's completely unrelated to Animals as a song but I think the pig was so iconic they wanted to tie it into the concert somehow. That's my guess anyhow!
One of these days was amazing live when I saw them. That and wish you were here blew my mind. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
Forever Pig Could Fly
Stacey this was an opener of the Pulse concert ,u must call David u like him 😂😂😂 thanks nice reaction ❤
What a wonderful reaction Stacey. I have waited so long for this one. Still humbley waiting on money from pulse. It warms my heart to see the smiles and fantastic grins. I can see you're in your happy place. Pretty lady keep them coming.
What you can’t tell even from the great mix done for the video, is the sound within the stadium. They had several speaker locations from to back and sound enveloped you and would move around, especially in this song. Was so surreal and wonderful.
I remember hearing the studio version as a kid. It spooked me. So much menace and dread from the composition. Simply wonderful dynamics.
You nailed it. This was awesome. More than a concert. This was a spectacle.
I spent 6 hours dialing for tickets. We drove 8 hours to Houston. They played through a Texas thunderstorm with lightning hitting the skyscrapers around the stadium. Rain falling through the lasers added to the epic show. There was a possibility that acid could be found at the show… This concert and the Page/Plant tour were just a level above everyone else. As they say I’m old but got to see all the good bands.
What a Wonderful Reaction! Thank you so much. I think the two connected songs "Brain Damage/Eclipse" from the PULSE Concert too, will take you even deeper into the Pink Floyd universe.
I grew up in Cambridge, lived here most of my life. Syd was the science pupil of a teacher friend of mine; I'd see him walking around Cambridge from time to time.
This is the track that closes the opening set., and they close the show with "Run Like Hell". Simply incredible. BTW, this was the opening song on their album "Meddle" (which closed with the epic "Echoes"), the album that prepared them for their masterpiece "Dark Side Of The Moon".
And this is 30 years ago, I was there.... Mindblowing beyond belif for life, love your beatiful and sensetive reaction....
I was there! Earsl court London October 1994 was amazing! 🎉
David making you smile, makes me smile!!! Stacey....you sooo get it!!!
I was at the PF Division Bell Tour concert in Denver, CO in 1994 at Mile High Stadium. It was quite similar to the concert at Earl's Court, recorded on the Pulse DVDs, only bigger and they played longer / more songs. They opened with Astronomy Domine, played all of the songs in the Pulse video and Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. I think the concert lasted over 3 hours, maybe 3.5 hours. The stadium was outdoors and HUGE. So the lights, lasers, effects etc. were more massive. There is no way to describe what it was like to be there - transcendent, emotional, intense, rapturous, ineffable. It was one of the absolute peak experiences of my entire life. PF has been my favorite band since 1973, when I was 10 years old, and David Gilmour my favorite guitarist. You should check out his solo work = EPIC!
You articulate my feelings and thoughts about their music so well, and I love watching your reaction videos! It is great for me to see an intelligent young lady really connect, understand, experience and appreciate PF the way some of us old timers have for 50+ years. You are right - PF is unique, visceral, evocative and will never be duplicated. Nothing else comes close.
Anyway, glad that you are enjoying your PF discovery journey. God Bless.
I'm glad you had a good birthday and that you're still on your Pink Floyd journey I never have understood this song but I like it
Had the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd live in Clemson university stadium in South Carolina. Best concert I've ever seen period!
Have to say Stacy..my favorite part of watching your videos is watching your reactions.. I was a young kid when Dark side of the moon came out.. my aunt was only 11 years older than me , and she got this album when it came out in 1973.. so I got to hear this early and often.. and with great childhood memories on top of that..the look on your face brings me back to 1973 when I first heard it.. it’s fun to watch you experience great songs for the first time!!! I absolutely love it!!!
You've hit the nail on the head Stacey with the Floyd audience the beginning cheers and whistles sitting an watch and listen then cheers again, that's what true fans do in the UK for a Floyd gig. At times people who don't know the rules stand up and are immediately told to sit down in no uncertain terms if they don't. I've been to many Floyd concerts in my 67yrs and only once a whole lot of the crowd started standing up they soon had the rest of the arena telling to effin sit down. 😂
Ah, welcome again to the more psychedelic work of Pink Floyd. ^^ And I would say, Dave smiling at Rick, and him smiling back gives me that "Those were the days, weren't they...?" vibe.
Thank you for reacting to Pink Floyd once again.
Although it seems to me it's not necessary thanking you for it any longer, for you're already their fan! 😅
If you want any suggestions of their songs to react to, I got some to recommend, amazing ones - as usual, when we talk about Pink Floyd! - but people but don't use to choose them for reactions: "Summer 68"; "If"; "The final cut"; "Julia Dream".
thank you for sharing your honest reaction. It makes us remember oue first time listening to these songs
As usual; a great reaction from emotional Stacey. ❤
You bring me Joy just watching you enjoy, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time 😂
My close friend Gil Yedidia and I would listen and watch many concert videos together and one time his brother Ronn Yedidia flew in from New York to visit for 2 or 3 days .All 3 of us watched 3 concert videos back to back,one of them being Pulse and after all of this Ronn said he liked the Pulse concert best and said they are pulling that sound from out of space.Ronn is a concert pianist and composer and owns the New York Piano Academy and has played with many of the best Jazz musicians going way back.He did not know Pink Floyd and that was the first time he had heard them.That was the first time I had heard anyone say that and coming from him at the time was very thought provoking.
Kia ora. Great review. It was at the end of the first half @StaceyRPG. On the D.V.D. the end of the concert is Run Like Hell, from The Wall.
As I am sure others have already said, Pink Floyd concerts are not so much a concert as a lived multisensory experience. The sound, the sight, the feeling.
and this piece is often played first in the second part of the concert. I had the chance to see Pink Floyd in concert twice
I saw them in Detroit on this tour. You are correct that the audience was very quiet during the songs. I think everyone was so in awe during each song that no one made a sound. It's great they recorded this concert so we can all watch it back, but I'd equate it to watching fireworks on tv. It's not quite the same experience as seeing it in person. Carry on, Stacey, you do a great job!
At the Toronto "Pulse" concert, "One of these Days" was the last song before the break. They finished the concert with "Run like Hell".
Great reaction, Stacey!
Keep up the great channel!
That bass line, that guitar, this whole song, makes me want to head-bang like crazy!!
