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 . ❤
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.
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.
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.
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!
"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
Nobody ever mention Nick Mason what a drummer and so calm
Outstanding! Your Pink Floyd reactions are so fun to watch. Your smile and laughter brighten my day.
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....🎵
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.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
"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!!!👍👍
David's face reflects the fact that he knows he is the best in the world
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".
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.
This is an overlooked gem. My favorite Pink Floyd song.
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 .
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.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
The spoken part "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" is a Nick Mason distorted voice.
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!!
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 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.
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 ❤
Seeing and hearing these songs done live in a great venue is truly amazing! Since Pink Floyd doesn't perform as a group anymore, I would strongly recommend seeing the tribute band Brit Floyd if they play anywhere near you. They're really great! Totally worth it!
This song marked the end of the first half of the concert. The second half was the entire Dark Side of the Moon album.
Had the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd live in Clemson university stadium in South Carolina. Best concert I've ever seen period!
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.
And this is 30 years ago, I was there.... Mindblowing beyond belif for life, love your beatiful and sensetive reaction....
Love David and all of them! Since I was a teen never grew tired of them!
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!!!
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".
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️...
I‘m recommending „keep talking“ once again‚ you should definitely try it it’s from the same concert.❤
I can attest to the fact (4 times actually) that during their shows when this song started the entire stadium was vibrating and thudding from the speakers, combine that with the mesmerizing light show and for those of us in a certain state of mind, it was an experience without equal, nothing else is even in the same universe. These people (as a collective) know what they are doing, and most importantly, why they are there. Pink Floyd will live forever.
Pink floyd was the first concert I saw I saw this show in Raleigh nc. And ever concert since is judged based on this show.
Carter-Finley Stadium? I was there.
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.
This was the final song of the first (of two) sets they played at the Pulse concerts in 1994.
Amazingly, along with Astronomy Domine, it was left off the CD version of show though it is on the cassette vinyl versions. Astronomy Domine was for some reason included on the vinyl version.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️
The very early PinkFloyd Songs are soooooo Psychedelic....... 🥳
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️
Music from a time without much technology other than a light show. Floyd was never about a song. It was always a symphony like album that stood on its own. This is pre internet when the world was much smaller and I remember spending my teenage years listening to this stuff. Awesome
The concert was not called Pulse. The tour wad called The Division Bell Tour after the album they were promoting at the time. Pulse is the name of the Live concert album recording this awesome concert in London in 94. I was at one of the concerts during that tour in Philadelphia, PA on the 1st night of 3 nights. Each night varied as far as the songnlist. But pretty much was very close to the list for the concert on the video.
The Pig idea came about a round the Animal s album tour. There was one Pig that would fly around above the audience during specific songs. I believe, As a result of the lawsuit between Roger Waters and the rest of the band. Dave and co. couldnt use the original Pig, so they used a variant of the pig and doubled it for the tour.. Its actually a warthog. Pigs in stereo. . In the middle of the song (if your a fan of the show Dr. Who) you will hear the theme song interjected.
The song is at the end of the first half of the concert. The stage lights come on and Dave informs the audience of the intermission. The words you hear are spoken by the drummer Nick Mason with his voice slowed down and modulated. He says "one of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces."
First track on the Meddle album. Same album as Echoes. Echoes is the last track onnMeddle.
Guy Pratt is the bassist, an all-world session player who has toured with PF and many other A list acts over the decades. He'll be with David on the Luck and Strange tour this fall as well. At one time he was Richard Wright's son-in-law.
He’s also in Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets band.
I love that your loving Floyd. These guys are on another level💖
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️
hello stacey 😁you can fangirl as much as you want with PF 🤣
I saw them twice a few years before this tour. "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour. 1987.
Saw them in Tampa Stadium then drove to Atlanta and saw them 4 days later.
Dave just released a new music video today from his new album. The song is “Between Two Points” with his daughter, Romany on vocals. Love it.
Other Pink Floyd bangers to react to "Have A Cigar" and "Welcome to the Machine" is a must. Great reactions as always Stacey.
Forever Pig Could Fly
Just jamming. Pink Floyd style
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.
@3:36 Gotta love Tim Renwick's Dr Who guitar sample!
This song is the last song before the interval . Shine on you crazy Diamond ( concert version ) is the first track and Run Like Hell is the last song. The inflatable pigs heads are a reference to Pigs on the wing track from the Lp Animals as no track from that LP is in this concert
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. 😂
I couldn’t hear for 3 days, after this concert!!😳
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.
I was there the night this was recorded. Also seen the show 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam. Gigs that will stay with me till my dying day.
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!
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!
This was the change-over phase from Psychedelic into ultra progressive rock that mapped the evolution of Pink Floyd, Stacey!
Saw them live in 1994.
"One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" was an aggressive response to an English DJ who used to belittle the band and ramble on about useless info. This song is off the 1971 album "Meddle".
Check out, "Keep Talking". Dave uses a talk-box I think you'll find interesting.
The only thing I like better than watching the Pulse concert, is watching you watch the Pulse concert. If there is a band on this planet worth "Fan Girling" over, it's Pink Floyd. Floyd on!
Just another masterpiece from 71'!
Keep the Floyd reactions coming please, I’m loving your journey of discovery 😀
I was one of the emensley lucky people to be at the Earls Court in London October 1994 Pulse Concerts..!! This was the last song of Set 1.. I was sitting in the top balcony on the left hand side looking towards the stage and the Giant 🐗 Boar/Pig was level with us on the balcony and we were about 50feet away from it as came out through the darkness halfway through the song "One Of These Days" and the lights/lazers coming out of its eyes were literally coming directly at us all the time..!! Every single song for the whole 2hours 20mins of the concert (ie) Set 1, Set 2 and the 20minute Encore was an absolute visual and musical MASTERPIECE..!! The lights, lasers, explosions, pyrotechnics, special effects and videos on the 50foot circular screen behind the band in the centre of the stage for every song was just MIND-BLOWING, Their wasn't one song in the whole concert that was done to PERFECTION, all the instruments were wired up in sync with the visuals (ie) each time a note was played with each different instrument the visuals like lights and lasers, holograms, special effects would be synchronised to go hand in hand with the music...!! I was 25 when I went to see Pink Floyd at Earls Court that night and even just over 30years later the concert still sends shivers down my spine when I think back to it or watch the DVD of the concert and I love watching people like you reacting to songs from the concert watching their music and performances for the 1st time it really puts a huge smile on my face..!! And then hear people reacting to the concert and saying that they are so jealous of the people who were there in the Stadium to see 'A MUSICAL AND VISUAL MASTERPIECE'...And makes appreciate how lucky I was to have been there in the flesh to see THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME WHO WERE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF TIME AND THEIR MUSIC WILL BE REVERED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME 🫶👌🥰🙏 One Word Sums Up Pink Floyd and their music and concerts and that is simply GENIUSES..!!
This was the last song before the intermission, i was on the second row and at the end of this track it felt like we had been blown 10 feet further back from the stage - what an experience!
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.
I first heard this on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' - possibly 1973 - I was 18 - I went out to buy the album 'Echoes' the next day . . my first LP. The shop didn't have any left so I bought a Can album, 'Monster Movie Made In A Castle With Better Equipment'.
Echoes was the second album I bought.
The concert is separated into two parts if you want so. This was the beginning of the second part! Right after this they played the whole "Dark Side Of The Moon" album a d some additional songs right after. 👍🏼☺️
Thank you Stacey, again... for another look at my favorite band! From their 1971 "Meddle" album, This was the last song of set 1... they opened the concert with Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Their blow up characters were always a surprising addition to their concerts. The stage engineers, from sound mixing, to lighting and special effects were always leading the way as far as "Putting on a Rock Show" was concerned! Lasers and lighting always contributed to the sonic "Voyage" they took us on! Don't know if they will ever be equaled!
Please listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan perform "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo 1983... the greatest guitarist you will ever hear! One guy even says... "My guitar watches this video when I'm not home."
I saw Pink Floyd one time in my life, for the Division Bell Tour. It was the most amazing concert I've ever been to, even still today. There's nothing like it. And yes you are 100% fan-girling during this song lol
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
I saw them at Giant Stadium. They use these Lazers that just go up into for ever (green) then they roll this smoke/fog thru it so it looks like waves rolling up on the shore. Snd they float right over your head. Incredible Leaves you speechless. Couldn't that image out of my mind for weeks
Yes! The Pig is from the album Animals or should I say Animal Farm from George Orwell the inspiration for the album. The pig can be found on the Animals album cover and there is a story about it getting away during the photoshoot.
Just want to point out, this song, "One of These Days," was released in 1971 on the "Meddle" album.
I was fortunate enough to see them live at the LA Coliseum on the tour before this (back in 1988).
If you want to still see some live Pink Floyd songs, you can see Brit Floyd (a great Pink Floyd tribute band) live in tour now. I will be seeing them here in Reno this coming Sunday. However, if you want to see them at their best, in the best setting, they play Red Rocks every June (I’ve been fortunate enough to see them there 3x). They do a great job and play songs from PF’s entire catalog.
I was there as well. But the show that was even better, was at the L.A. sports arena. Also catch Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets band if possible.
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️..
This was the 1st song on the album "Meddle", in my opinion, this was their breakout album, 1971 this started a run of music that will last forever
L̟e̟t̟'s̟ d̟i̟s̟c̟u̟s̟s̟ a̟b̟o̟v̟e̟🛐🤷♀️🤦♂️
The bass is played by Guy Pratt. He was part of the "touring band" after Roger Waters left the group. He performs with David on his solo performances after 1994.
1988 ( DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER tour)
@@65alef Yeah, he played on that tour too. Pretty much everything by the post-Waters' Pink Floyd and the non-PF tours with David & Richard without Nick.
Saw 5 times , always felt sorry for the people that sat up front. Pulse first song was "Shine On". #1 Version to watch Pompeii 1972 which was a lot of drums, #2 this one and Pompeii again in 2016 which start with a instrument I have never seen. One of the shows at the end they push the pigs out of the tunnel. the pig on the Animals sleeve broke free but story goes that a pilot radio the tower he just flew by a 50 Ft. pink pigs. Dave announce his up coming tour Madison Square Garden 4 days, Hollywood Bowl 3 days, Inglewood Cali. 1 day. Stacey if you were there it's beyond anything. As many just sat in silence when it was over.
That was wild when they came out at the concert I saw, at the end they jump out and deflated on the ground. Side Note Gilmore has a new album and is going to Tour with it and I read that the Bass Player is the only former player that he is rehiring. Ya when Gilmore puckers up, he's workin' hard, lol
It was the end of the first part of the show. They went into a 30min or so intermission after this. They opened the show I seen with Astronomy Domine and the second part was started with Shine On.
Edit: The pigs go with the lyric “One of these days, I’m gonna cut you into little pieces..”
You need to get yourself a dvd copy of Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii. The menu is a bit tricky to navigate but the full concert is amazing.
I feel honored that I was there at Earls Court, but also really old because it was 30 years ago. On elf my all-time best concerts with Queen at Knebworth a close second
This song and "Run Like Hell" are two of the best "pure rock instrumental" songs in Pink Floyd's repertoire. All the musicians have their time in the spotlight, but Guy Pratt's (bass) performance is especially noteworthy. All of them "kill it," and who was it who once told me that a steel guitar (Gilmour) had no place in rock music?

I remember hearing the studio version as a kid. It spooked me. So much menace and dread from the composition. Simply wonderful dynamics.
You might want to know that David Gilmour is going to play 3 or 4 shows in both New York and California later this year !!!!!
This is the opening song from the Meddle album and is an amazing piece that leads into other instrumentals and wonderful pieces that take the listener on a trip into space.
You really need to see keep talking from the same concert. David plays the guitar through his mouth.
Part of this track refers to the theme of 'Dr Who' - the world's longest running TV sci-fi series - written by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire using ground breaking techniques.

I went to rhe Earls Court show. Stated part 1 with Shine on, all parts, finishing with Another Brick part 2 merging with this song. Part 2 was Dark Side of the Moon in its entirity, the last time it has been played in the Uk. Encore was Wish you were hear, Comfortably Numb and Rin like Hell.
Hey miss!!! Too cool PinkFloyd 🎸🎸🎸Pulse the best concert ever !!! as always you're perfect ! Don't change a thing you're the best !!! Thanks you kiss from the french team ❤❤❤!!!
You bring me Joy just watching you enjoy, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time 😂
This one -reaction- was long overdue! Pure definition of jamming.
"Keep Talking" and "Take it Back" from The Pulse Concert and The Division Bell Album. I seen this show in Vancouver in June 1994. It was an amazing show,one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Stacey this was an opener of the Pulse concert ,u must call David u like him 😂😂😂 thanks nice reaction ❤
it does have lyrics..they are " one of these days, im going to cut you into little pieces"///////God bless Pink Floyd
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.
This tune is the first track on the 1971 LP Meddle the same LP that has Echoes on . My fav track ever of Floyd is Echoes for very personal reasons . The live version of Echoes isnt a patch on the LP version
You're right about the light show--excellent production, but even more impressive live. I was lucky to get tickets for the Pulse tour in 1994 when they stopped here, and they even did a little special for my city.: They opened the show with Astronomy Domine (they didn't play it live since the 1960's. One of these days was played to open the 2nd half of the show--not quite an opener, but almost. Have a nice day.
I prefer Pink Floyd in albums but this song is by far my favorite stand-alone Pink Floyd song. I remember blowing out my $100 Panasonic stereo system's right speaker when I was 12 in 1972. Great memories. I knew you would be excited by the bass. "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces."
I saw Floyd four times and nothing comes close to a Floyd show. I sat 25th row at one and those bright white light blasts literally blows you out of your seat.
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!
once in a while it's nice to just watch the musicians without lyrics to follow. you get a better appreciation of the mastery that goes into creating the music in a live setting rather than a studio.
"One Of These Days", off the album 'Meddle' is definitely one of PF's SOARING instrumentals. The "lyrics" were spoken by drummer Nick Mason saying "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces".
The flying pig is a Floyd icon (yes, off the 'Animals' album), but since Gilmour chose not to include any songs from the 'Animals' album in the concert lineup, the pigs are presented with this tune.
Interestingly, during the legal battle between Waters & Gilmour over Pink Floyd rights, the pig iconography was on the table for copyright claims...so... Gilmour put tusks on it so he could technically call it a "boar" and use it for Pink Floyd concerts.
LOVE your reaction and SHINE ON!!!🤘🤘
