@@2869may Because without Waters, there is little to no bitterness - just melancholy with hope. The waters era had a message of dissatisfaction with life and society - not without merit by the way, but harsh. Division Bell is far more mellow. I love both eras equally, but for different reasons.
The album was "meh" when I first heard it about 15 years ago, when I first started getting into Floyd. Over the years it's definitely grown on me. And I mean exponentially. I now find it's the album I listen to most often. Not a dull moment throughout. And David's tone is my absolute favorite from his entire output. Just an excellent album.
The PULSE concert is perhaps one of the most important musical events that has ever existed in modern music. They are big do not usually need to block. That's why people deeply admire them. Saludos.
I literally wore 2 vhs cassettes of this concert out from watching and dissecting everything about this concert, i have a third vhs that i keep but I’m scared to watch it, I don’t want it to break, lol. But seriously this IS the Floyd concert to watch from start to finish!
Agreed! "Transformative" is kind of a cliche but I was 15 in the 90s when I first listened to Pulse...I basically threw all my CDs out and started anew after hearing it the first time. Semi-serious.
Right on brother!! 👍 If some one asked me: "If you could go to any live concert in music history, what concert would you choose?" My immediate first answer would me: "Pink Floyd, The Division Bell tour, Earls Court 1994"!!!! My immediate second choice would be: "Queen, The Magic Tour, Wembley 1986"!!!
This is from one of the most beautiful albums ever made. The Division Bell. Gilmour at his absolute finest. Every song on that album is a masterpiece. Especially Marooned, that is an amazing piece of music.
Fun Fact: the bassist on tour there is named Guy Pratt, he was also the studio musician who laid down the funky bass line on Madonna's Like a Prayer, among other work.
@@hopelessnerd6677 I did not realize that was him. I was getting in to Radio K.A.O.S. At the same time. What a great time to be graduating high school with all this as the theme for the life I had planned.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Tears of joy and bliss. “I took a heavenly ride through our silence. I knew the moment had begun. For killing the past, and coming back to life”🔥❤️🔥
Saw this show in Cleveland Ohio 1994. First concert ever and an experience I will never ever forget. Nothing will ever come close to the sound of Pink Floyd!
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… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. 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.
This is why Pink Floyd and Rush are my favorite bands. Songs that speak to you and rock at the same time. Timeless. I'm 57 and the older I get they still stay relevant. Rock on
@@RichKolasa It does... the entire album is great..! "Lost For Words" talks about David and Roger's relationship. "I open my door to my enemy and ask can we wipe the slate clean... they tell me to please go fvck myself... Sometimes you just can't win..."
I have really enjoyed watching your heartfelt reactions to the music, artists, and lyrics over the past year. I appreciate your comments and thoughts on the music, and like watching your office wall evolve right along with your love of this music! The Internet needs more people like you!
This song, to me, is the perfect embodiment of Pink Floyd after Roger Waters. It sounds like rising up from adversity and thriving. Roger is a genius, it's true. But after the doom, gloom, and bitterness (albeit masterpieces) of the last few Floyd albums, the positive and hopeful vibes from A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell are most welcome.
i know exactly what you mean, Joseph. a couple years ago, i was incredibly sad when David auctioned off his instruments for charity... but immediately after that, my next thoughts were: those instruments were merely tools in the hands of a master craftsman. the tools don't hold the magic, the craftsman does.
My dad who is 77 now is a guitarist like me. Whereas he is more of a blues and rock guitarist than I, and I lean more towards neo-classical metal, and jazz fusion; one of the things we have in common is we both think David Gilmour is one of the best, if not *the* best guitarist ever. It's the feeling he conveys, and how he paints an image.
@alan griggs Likewise, my friend! One of the best concerts I have ever seen/heard for sure (to clarify, I was NOT there to see it live, only on DVD). I especially dig the fact that they played "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety from top to bottom during that show, it's just so amazing (still)! Peace Out.
My favorite song on The Division Bell from the first time hearing it. And it was very relatable years later when going through a divorce. ‘Where were you when I was burned and broken?’ ‘Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?’ ‘I knew the moment had arrived for killing the past and coming back to life.’
David himself has said this song is about his second wife, Polly Sampson. They got married i 1994, the year that The Division Bell was released. He had already been divorced four years. The lyrics seem to align that the song is more about Polly than the divorce. SHE was what was missing and SHE helped bring him back to life.
Coming back to life in 2021 means continuing to reinvent and improve myself! Learning to get thru these strange days, 2020 set me on a new path and in 2021 I hope to improve on that! Best wishes to everyone on this life journey! Thanks for bringing me back to Pink Floyd 🥰🙏
Live in Gdańsk is the absolute pinnacle of Pink Floyd. Jamel please listen to this! Thank you for sharing your feelings about this music, means a great deal to me 👍
Yes, the music of Pink Floyd IS about a journey! You connect so well! I never got to see them live! However, they helped us connect! They are all about humanity!
A few years ago, my son swapped a set of active pickups into a cheap strat his college roommate left him, and tested it out by playing the intro to this song. Such a beautiful intro, it reminded me that he was barely a year old when Pulse was released, and I played it all the time in the car when he was little.
Dude! As soon as Sorrow finished, I was like, "That's a piece of art." And now here you are saying their songs are like art! This is why you're the best my friend!
I want this song to be played at my funeral. This is an amzing song and gets lost because Pink Floyd has so many incredible songs. It's one of my all time favorites as well as High Hopes.
I had the privilege to see them in Atlanta in 1994 (The Division Bell tour) Words cannot describe the emotions you feel when these guys perform live. A memory I will fortunately have for the rest of my life.
I think we are all a bit closer than we think. Good music is good music...flat out. I'm glad u took the time to check them out. Haha I saw Pink Floyd several times and this is normal for them. U seem to be a good man and I look forward to watching more of ur videos.
I attended the 1994 tour when it came to Pittsburgh. The second set was all classics, and I think all 50,000 of us sang every song in that set with them, word for word, and note for note. Now THAT was an experience!
Hello Jamel, I saw him play at the Hollywood Bowl in California 2016 and WHAT AN AMAZING CONCERT. I am glad I saw him play. I grew up listening to his music......... Peace !
I will always remember getting to see Floyd on their Pulse tour in Columbus, Ohio. Greatest. Concert. Ever. Floyd is my first musical love and I've always come back to them no matter what genre I may be currently into. Floyd is always there.
This song reminds me so much of my brother. His wife left him years ago, suddenly and vindictively. He has never remarried, never taken his wring off. This song, coming back to life, reminds me of what he needs to do for himself. Killing the past, and coming back to life. Some people carry burdens life war medals. We sometimes don't recognize them for what they are, wounds. When wounds heal we move on.
My first concert was Pink Floyd Animals Tour 1977. Many great concerts since, but for me, none ever topped Pink Floyd. Even my great grandson is named Floyd after the band. My granddaughter loves the classics.
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.
One of my all time favorite songs and from the first few notes, im instantly brought back nostalgically to when this album first came out. WHen I travelled to Europe I was able to see David Gilmour play at Arena de Nimes. I couldnt believe he played this song .I just started crying. (and he played Fat Old Sun, High Hopes and One of These Days.....O. M. G. what a show)
Loved your reaction to Coming back to life. It’s my favorite Floyd song as well as one of my all time favorite songs. It grabbed me from the first time I heard it from the Division Bell album and it’s never let me go. Love your reactions Jamal and like you always say let’s just be better humans and teach peace.
I just want to say for the record, I have seen hundreds of live concerts, and played live on stage many hundreds of times, maybe over a thousand times. Of all that I have ever seen or done on stage, nothing compares to the time I saw Pink Floyd perform live during their Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour. This video was taken from the tour that followed the one that I saw. Many of the same musicians were part of this tour so you are seeing basically the same show I did. To say it was stunning to watch live simply doesn't do it justice.
This is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs. To this day I have no clue why this song is not more popular. Just the intro is just stuff that dreams are made of.
Oh yes... Pink Floyd’s lyrical content are probably the only musicians who can express the things that are actually close to my heart. Nobody can do that but me, of course. But Pink Floyd really spiritually aligns and resonates almost medicinal things to me. Way back in the 80’s, this groovy Jamaican dude named Kingsley advised me, a youngin, to one day, really experience Floyd. Grab a couple fat doobies, enclose yourself alone, get the mood lighting up like lava lamps and listen to the entire record from start to finish, turn it up and let Pink Floyd heal you....
I'll miss them for them as long as they are no longer around- and yes this Pulse was awesome. No matter which song on it, was will bring tears- I saw this live (Cleveland May 26, 1994) . was to awesome.
This whole concert makes me tear up. The production to the sound to the visuals the guitar tone the solos the singing the lyrics. Best live performance I have ever seen from anyone. You can feel that the band is giving %100 in this show.
First time I heard this, I was in Prague. I had just closed the pub I was drinking at, and was walking through the old residential part of town, cobblestone streets covered in two feet of fresh powder in the middle of January. The row houses, lit occasionally by a light through a window, with the new snow, which were magical, when I heard the guitar intro lofting through the streets, a ghostly sound. I walked towards where it was coming from and some beautiful apparently teenage girl was sitting in her second story window, one leg inside and one foot on the outside sill, and the song was coming from her room. She had what looked like a hand knitted sweater and scarf on, and the room appeared to be only candle lit. I sat down in the snow across from her window, my back against someone's home, and listened to her music selection for what must have been hours. Then I had to get to my place I was staying, because I was frozen by that time. I'm a Minnesota boy and I don't get cold easily, but I was sitting and not moving, spellbound by her playlist. I got up and she looked at me and smiled, and I bowed in a ridiculously archaic way, I don't know why, and she giggled and waved. The next day, I couldn't even find that street, and the rest of the time I was there, every evening, from 2AM to 4AM, I walked those streets, listening for music but never heard any the rest of my trip.
My nearly 20 yr long marriage to a gifted musician ended while I was still in love with him. That was 16 yes ago. I put music, which I lived and breathed, away for 16 years because ...everything hurt. I'm just getting back to my own life inside of music. I had no idea what that long long silence was about, but I'm grateful it's in my rearview. A huge thanks to Jamel for being a portal for me, and to Floyd, who knows my soul.
Great reaction man can see yiu appreciate floyd I was fortunate enough to be at this concert 1994 Earl's Court. I'm a huge pink floyd fan waters and gilmore I'm going to see waters August 31 2022 at msg nyc I'm from uk
"The way music becomes art...they way they paint the picture." Yes! Which is why Pink Floyd has been my favorite band of all-time. Thanks for giving them so much love!
Saw them in Chicago back in 94 on this tour. I was 14 and still the best show I’ve ever seen. Also got to see David Gilmour a few years ago. One of the only shows that even came close.
OMG!! I can't believe I'm JUST NOW seeing this!! This is one of my FAVORITE Pink Floyd songs ever! David Gilmour never plays it the same way every live performance. Edit: I'm your 1000th like on this brother❤
Pink Floyd, my favourite band by far. It was making sense throughout my inebriated states and even more sense throughout my sobriety. They don’t even need to sing and their music will still drag me through every spectrum of emotion. The best. Glad you got to add them to your life.
Spot on! Good review/response! It’s always a journey with high n lows in Pink Floyd (the beginning) all the way into Gilmour & Waters going their own way! Play in my playlist daily! One of my favorites! Thanks & Rock On Vanessa
Jamel, we all understand why you're diggin' on some Pink Floyd. They're truly an outstanding group of musicians, song writers & performers. IMO, one of the best live sets ever captured was Gilmour's 2017 Live in Pompeii. The full concert was shot entirely in the unearthed Pompeii stadium & released on Blue-ray. Everything about it: the sound & video quality, special effects, musicianship of the entire band & the rest of it is PHENOMENAL!
One of my favorite PF songs! Excellent song writing and the guitar work is fantastic. IMO easily one of his best guitar efforts. So melodic and driving.
Back in 1994 I was lucky to get 2 tickets for one of the concerts in Rotterdam. The issue was though that the concert itself was shortly after I joined the airforce and was consigned to the airforce base 24/7. Luckily I am a skilled negotiator and was able to convince the Major that he was to let me go to the concert that evening... so so very lucky.
Glad you are listening more to PF. Great songs. We always carry along a PF cd when traveling in the car. They are one of those epic groups. Some songs I can hardly listen to though mainly from the “Momentary Lapse of Reason” album. The last album my brother bought and listened to throughout bed he died.....

Please check out “Marooned” by Pink Floyd, it's an instrumental song, but still a good one
I was shocked , shocked I tell you , when you didn't list them in your top 5 bands ....LOL,
This song reminds me .
Try time at the same concert. Thanks for the reaction
One of their best songs that everyone acts like doesn't exist.
Exactly.
very true
along with- what do you want from me.
@@moonlightmile70s96 What do you want from me is prob one of my fav song, absolutely heart taking.
Its like there last 2 albums don't exist...and coincidentally are my favorite
Pink Floyd is the type of music where you go to your room, lay on your bed, turn off the lights, put on your headphones and go off into a conscious coma!
After conjuring Bob Marley who delivers a bowl of Durban Poison for Your enjoyment.
I will never forget the first time I heard the _Animals_ album.
That was the day I decided I definitely wanted to be a musician.
I miss doing that... life just made me stop doing that for some reason!
Nah.. The Last Cut..
Amen. Or you drive home in the dark and you skip a number of exits because you don't want it to stop
Pink Floyd live is like a love letter to your head.
Beautifully said

Cleveland Stadium, Saturday night, in a thunderstorm!
The lightning was in time with the music
Heaven opened up and joined us.
Well put!
You misspelled soul.
I know everyone loves "the dark side of the moon". But "The Division bell" is so mellow it is excellent. Great travelling music.
Top 3 Floyd for me
The Division Bell is a masterpiece..!!! (no Waters also)
@@2869may Because without Waters, there is little to no bitterness - just melancholy with hope. The waters era had a message of dissatisfaction with life and society - not without merit by the way, but harsh. Division Bell is far more mellow. I love both eras equally, but for different reasons.
@@williamosborne6866 Absolutely agree with you.... "Lost For Words" tells us a little something about that.... lol
The album was "meh" when I first heard it about 15 years ago, when I first started getting into Floyd. Over the years it's definitely grown on me. And I mean exponentially. I now find it's the album I listen to most often. Not a dull moment throughout. And David's tone is my absolute favorite from his entire output. Just an excellent album.
The PULSE concert is perhaps one of the most important musical events that has ever existed in modern music. They are big do not usually need to block. That's why people deeply admire them.
Saludos.
I could not agree more!
I literally wore 2 vhs cassettes of this concert out from watching and dissecting everything about this concert, i have a third vhs that i keep but I’m scared to watch it, I don’t want it to break, lol. But seriously this IS the Floyd concert to watch from start to finish!
Agree but their The Wall live performance from Berlin in 1990 was mint.
Agreed! "Transformative" is kind of a cliche but I was 15 in the 90s when I first listened to Pulse...I basically threw all my CDs out and started anew after hearing it the first time. Semi-serious.
Right on brother!! 👍
If some one asked me: "If you could go to any live concert in music history, what concert would you choose?"
My immediate first answer would me: "Pink Floyd, The Division Bell tour, Earls Court 1994"!!!!
My immediate second choice would be: "Queen, The Magic Tour, Wembley 1986"!!!
This is from one of the most beautiful albums ever made. The Division Bell. Gilmour at his absolute finest. Every song on that album is a masterpiece. Especially Marooned, that is an amazing piece of music.
Marooned ❤️
Absolutely nailed it.
I’d say best album of all time
@@Kimberrann I love to go to sleep every night to the hour long looped version of “Marooned”! 😴🙏🏻👏🏼
@@lynnhoffman247 I have 9 Pink Floyd songs on a “sleep” playlist as well; Marooned is the first and last song so technically only 8 songs! ❤️ 💤
Nothing else sounds like Gilmour’s guitar. This song is so beautiful, great choice.
Fun Fact: the bassist on tour there is named Guy Pratt, he was also the studio musician who laid down the funky bass line on Madonna's Like a Prayer, among other work.
And at one time Guy Pratt was married to Rick Wright's daughter.
He doesn'tknow like he's even old enough to know who Madonna is! 😆

Love Rick! 😢🙏🏻 RIP

Beautifully said, but sometimes getting over something from the past is out of your control, some people just can’t let you move forward.
Wish i could 🙈
Deep truth right there....
"Keep Talking" and "Wearing the inside out" are also killer tracks, give them a chance.
wearing the inside out is so catchy and such a well written song
"Keep Talking" is likely the only time you'll ever hear Stephen Hawking on a music album. Especially since he's dead. His voice isn't though.

I especially dig the fact that they played "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety from top to bottom during that show, it's just so amazing (still)! Peace Out.
your spot on this where music becomes art and that art runs thru us and touches every part of our being
Of all of their catalog and most wonderful music, this my favorite. A song of hope.❤
My favorite song on The Division Bell from the first time hearing it. And it was very relatable years later when going through a divorce.
‘Where were you when I was burned and broken?’
‘Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?’
‘I knew the moment had arrived for killing the past and coming back to life.’
David himself has said this song is about his second wife, Polly Sampson. They got married i 1994, the year that The Division Bell was released. He had already been divorced four years. The lyrics seem to align that the song is more about Polly than the divorce. SHE was what was missing and SHE helped bring him back to life.
All of Pink Floyd songs are an emotional experience. You won't be the same after you listen to them for the first time.

Live in Gdańsk is the absolute pinnacle of Pink Floyd. Jamel please listen to this! Thank you for sharing your feelings about this music, means a great deal to me 👍

Yes, the music of Pink Floyd IS about a journey! You connect so well! I never got to see them live! However, they helped us connect! They are all about humanity!
Gilmours guitar can bring so much emotion. Together with this collection of masters , watery eyes.
I’ve been waiting it seems like so long for you to reaction this concert. “Keep talking”. And “learning to fly”. Must see

Grab a couple fat doobies, enclose yourself alone, get the mood lighting up like lava lamps and listen to the entire record from start to finish, turn it up and let Pink Floyd heal you....
sweet jesus ,,tears started before he even sang ,,feel this in my soul
I'll miss them for them as long as they are no longer around- and yes this Pulse was awesome. No matter which song on it, was will bring tears- I saw this live (Cleveland May 26, 1994) . was to awesome.
This whole concert makes me tear up. The production to the sound to the visuals the guitar tone the solos the singing the lyrics. Best live performance I have ever seen from anyone. You can feel that the band is giving %100 in this show.
David Gilmour.... "Amphified Whisper.. & The Gift of Guitar..." A World TREASURE!
Saw Pink Floyd in 1994 in San Diego on this very same tour. One of the coolest experiences of my life. My favorite band of all time.
First time I heard this, I was in Prague.
I had just closed the pub I was drinking at, and was walking through the old residential part of town, cobblestone streets covered in two feet of fresh powder in the middle of January.
The row houses, lit occasionally by a light through a window, with the new snow, which were magical, when I heard the guitar intro lofting through the streets, a ghostly sound.
I walked towards where it was coming from and some beautiful apparently teenage girl was sitting in her second story window, one leg inside and one foot on the outside sill, and the song was coming from her room. She had what looked like a hand knitted sweater and scarf on, and the room appeared to be only candle lit. I sat down in the snow across from her window, my back against someone's home, and listened to her music selection for what must have been hours.
Then I had to get to my place I was staying, because I was frozen by that time. I'm a Minnesota boy and I don't get cold easily, but I was sitting and not moving, spellbound by her playlist. I got up and she looked at me and smiled, and I bowed in a ridiculously archaic way, I don't know why, and she giggled and waved.
The next day, I couldn't even find that street, and the rest of the time I was there, every evening, from 2AM to 4AM, I walked those streets, listening for music but never heard any the rest of my trip.
I am 64 years old I grew up with this music I didn't realize how I good it was now I see they were all geniuses your reaction makes it a lot better
My nearly 20 yr long marriage to a gifted musician ended while I was still in love with him. That was 16 yes ago. I put music, which I lived and breathed, away for 16 years because ...everything hurt. I'm just getting back to my own life inside of music. I had no idea what that long long silence was about, but I'm grateful it's in my rearview. A huge thanks to Jamel for being a portal for me, and to Floyd, who knows my soul.
Great reaction man can see yiu appreciate floyd I was fortunate enough to be at this concert 1994 Earl's Court.
I'm a huge pink floyd fan waters and gilmore I'm going to see waters August 31 2022 at msg nyc I'm from uk
That music is my favorite Pink Floyd's song. I love this music, and Dave is so amazing playing it. It's so good listen too!
Feel so proud that ive been listening to art for the past 27 years.. You got it bro!
David Gilmour NEVER misses a note. This is my favorite Floyd song to play. A nice delay on the vocals, and just let it roar.
David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist. He makes his guitar sing and you feel the message.
"The way music becomes art...they way they paint the picture." Yes! Which is why Pink Floyd has been my favorite band of all-time. Thanks for giving them so much love!
I've always been a huge Pink Floyd fan and if there is one place I regret not being, it is that arena, that night for that event. Phenomenal.
Check out High Hopes from the Pulse concert (the new restored & re-edited version). It's incredible.
Saw them in Chicago back in 94 on this tour. I was 14 and still the best show I’ve ever seen. Also got to see David Gilmour a few years ago. One of the only shows that even came close.
Such a great song and live performance.
Glad you love and appreciate good music.
I was lucky enough to see them in Birmingham Alabama in 94, still my favorite concert!
My love for these guys knows no bounds! Love watching you experience them I listen to Pink Floyd everyday keeps me from going crazy!
David Gilmour's voice is otherworldly. The word is Ethereal ❤❤
One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs!! Love it!
I have always said you don't listen to Pink Floyd you experience Pink Floyd.
OMG!! I can't believe I'm JUST NOW seeing this!! This is one of my FAVORITE Pink Floyd songs ever! David Gilmour never plays it the same way every live performance.
Edit: I'm your 1000th like on this brother❤
Pink Floyd, my favourite band by far. It was making sense throughout my inebriated states and even more sense throughout my sobriety. They don’t even need to sing and their music will still drag me through every spectrum of emotion. The best. Glad you got to add them to your life.
Spot on! Good review/response! It’s always a journey with high n lows in Pink Floyd (the beginning) all the way into Gilmour & Waters going their own way!
Play in my playlist daily! One of my favorites!
Thanks & Rock On
Vanessa
There is no one who can make their Guitar cry like Gilmour can. He plays straight from the soul.
Pink Floyd is one band that is here to stay. Just listen to this song. How awesome is that.
Jamel, we all understand why you're diggin' on some Pink Floyd. They're truly an outstanding group of musicians, song writers & performers. IMO, one of the best live sets ever captured was Gilmour's 2017 Live in Pompeii. The full concert was shot entirely in the unearthed Pompeii stadium & released on Blue-ray. Everything about it: the sound & video quality, special effects, musicianship of the entire band & the rest of it is PHENOMENAL!
I saw this tour live! Best live show ever! It was like a religious experience!
One of my favorite PF songs! Excellent song writing and the guitar work is fantastic. IMO easily one of his best guitar efforts. So melodic and driving.
Back in 1994 I was lucky to get 2 tickets for one of the concerts in Rotterdam. The issue was though that the concert itself was shortly after I joined the airforce and was consigned to the airforce base 24/7. Luckily I am a skilled negotiator and was able to convince the Major that he was to let me go to the concert that evening... so so very lucky.
Glad you are listening more to PF. Great songs. We always carry along a PF cd when traveling in the car. They are one of those epic groups. Some songs I can hardly listen to though mainly from the “Momentary Lapse of Reason” album. The last album my brother bought and listened to throughout bed he died.....
