David Gilmour is one of the few people I've ever heard who can sing through a guitar. Not mimicking words like a Steve Vai, but actually conveying emotions. He's a master at it, and I love absolutely everything about this performance.
The lyrics are just epic. "Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side ", just awesome. Polly Samson, David's wife, who wrote a lot of lyrics for the album, did an absolutely great job here
You should react to "Sorrow" from the same concert - amazing song - with typically epic guitar playing by DG, everyone on stage firing on all cylinders - you'll even see the second drummer get a real workout! Don't miss it!
I LOVE that you're going through these songs from the Pulse concert! Keep going! Also, "On the Turning Away," from the Delicate Sound of Thunder show is well worth it! Anyway, I'm with you for this journey!
Beatiful song, it makes me remember the days when i was on the streets hanging out with my friends. Sometimes makes me silently cry. I love my love, i love my kids, wife and everything around me, but i am not that little kid i was before and i miss him.
i have been listening to this band for 50 years now and people say how do they do this or how do they do that and my answer is they do everything because they are PINK FLOYD the music is fantastic there live shows are spectacular
High Hopes is all about the dreams, ambitions and hopes that we have when young and the way in which we fall short as our lives progress, as I have got older I appreciate this song even more and the sense of melancholy that surrounds it as our dreams are replaced by reality in life, I've heard several cover versions of the song and they all fall short as they tend to miss that sense of melancholy that is at the heart of the song and nobody can really better this live performance.
Without who?? 😂😂 The egomaniac who thought that HE was Pink Floyd!! I think not!! This concert just shows how talented the others were, with some great musicians joining them, Guy Pratt on bass and Jon Carin on the other keyboards. Wow wish that I had seen this concert!!
I feel so blessed to have been living with the music of Pink Floyd filling my ears & my soul since 1973, when I first heard of them. So glad to see that you guys & this generation feel the same way about them as all us oldies do. Keep it up.
This version is just pure Magic. Maybe one of the best songs ever made. The haunting verses that breaks up in the bright chorus are great songwriting. The solos are epic.
I first saw this concert when I was 16, my friend had just travelled to London to see this show and this was broadcast on the BBC a few days later, we turned the lights off closed the curtains and just sank into it for the whole 2 and a half hours on his big screen TV it was so exciting! It changed my world musically! I'll never forget that moment for as long as I live. Many many more songs you could react to from this show! Pink Floyd were always be special and always will be in my mind.
A tidbit, at a music store in Seattle back in the early 80's and David Gilmore comes in wanting to try a slide guitar. He plays it for a while and buys it on the spot. It's that same slide he plays in this song.
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know, and I know all the great ones.
the division bell what he sings and someone taps is referring to the bell on a church which the song mentions and is more or less saying that it is the division bell that can divide us if you let yourself get hooked by religion
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 frogged 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.
It looks like the Pompeii concert. Check out the Gdansk,Poland concert for this same song and you will hear the amazing acoustic guitar solo following the slide guitar performance. David Gilmour ... next level for sure. So calm and focused.
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David and he gave us both a signed album. We chatted for 22 minutes while he signed others albums. 35 lucky people won tickets. It was AWESOME show.
Watch the entire concert. Watch the audience...notice they're all sitting still in their seats. Pink Floyd is an experience not just any head bopping concert. Crazy good. Enjoy 🤫
Shout out to Bass player Guy Pratt, who has driven the beat for Pink Floyd/David Gilmore for decades since Waters left. He is always spot on and pushes the songs along so beautifully. Of course David is the spotlight, because he is a guitar god, but props to everyone else in this band who help make the Floyd sound so great.
I listened to this the day it was released more than 20 years ago. So glad you saw the genius that is Pink Floyd. Saw them live in 2016 at Verona. The greatest ever.
You're reaction is totally true, when this came out in the `94 I absolutely love this song and yes I remember too my teenage life with nostalgic!! David Gilmour is absolutely amazing to transmit his feelings through his guitar!!!
Thre is also another version of this song which they played in Gdansk (on TH-cam as well). It's again Gilmour with pretty much the same band, performing this song. Mostly the same, but they added a longer outro with violins in conjuction with his acoustic guitar. It really finishes the song proper and it's just beautiful.
Cada vez que la escucho recuerdo mi infancia,solo en mi cuarto con los cds,escuchando esta canción a oscuras mirando por la ventana escuchando la campana increíble
Pink Floyd is the Greatest live performing band in recorded music history. They put more production into one song, than most bands will put into an entire concert. They're attention to detail and performance quality are un matched
Groups like Pink Floyd and Journey and others of those days always told a story, took you on a journey and often grabbed you by the guts and made you FEEL.
From watching all of your reactions I would have to say Suzie is totally lost in Floyd, to her it's like everything stops when Floyd is playing, luv it !
All I can say is listening and watching Pink Floyd is like going into a gallery sitting down and staring at a Leonardo da Vinci painting "Pure Genius".
YOU'RE SO RIGHT - When David Gilmore starts to sing "The Gras Is Greener" it touches me in such a way that it almost brings tears to my eyes, because then I suddenly have to think of all the beautiful things I experienced and maked in my youth especially with my best friends🤯😉.
This sounds like a sad song about David's days in the university town of Cambridge. There's mention of the Long Road and the cut. 2 references to a road and a river footpath in Cambridge. It's so beautiful.
The person seen from behind at the beginning, in the video on the circular screen, looks a lot like the legendary Syd, the hair is identical. Syd is mentioned in the song. We will never forget it. A genius who shone bright and fast.
Having seen this performance I am watching this waiting for your reactions when David sits down at his Pedal Steel Guitar and produces a magical sound like nobody else ever did...wait for it, wait for it, wait for it......
This song is so true that it brings a suffering that makes me broken. It almost brang me to the worst one day. But still I couldn't end it besides of suffering... Today I have 4 year young son and I cry in hide for the fate of man...
“Comfortably Numb” - “Sorrow” - “On The Turning Away” -“Money” - “Time”- “Another Brick In The Wall” - “Keep Talking” - “High Hopes” - “Great Gig In The Sky” - “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” - “Learning To Fly” - “Coming Back To Life” - “Dogs Of War” - “What Do You Want From Me” - "Run Like Hell" - “HEY YOU” - Pink Floyd- David Gilmour Guitar Solos I have seen performed Live in 4 concerts. “The Master Of The Stratocaster”
My favorite song of all time simply the greatest heard it when I was 7 years old now i'm 35 brings me back to that time can't even explain what it means just the best ever
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I don’t know if you have seen it yet, but Keep Talking from the same concert is amazing. I have seen it described as “Dave Gilmour ascended to heaven and came back to earth as a guitar” which is exactly what happens. Plus, as you loved High Hopes, try David Gilmour live at the Royal Albert Hall - it has an extended acoustic guitar solo at the end which is magical
At 13:55 - That which you "Put your Finger on" at that moment doesn't just apply to Gilmore and his playing and singing...But to everyone involved! Each and EVERY performer on that stage knows "Exactly" the correct note - volume - and feel that the composition requires of them. Musical Architecture at its' finest!
They put together such a complete piece... You should check out the last version of echos with richard wright.. Its 20 mins of perfection... Great reaction!!! Keep them coming!
Gilmour said he write this song in one night after his wife said the line “steps taken forward, but sleepwalking back again”. He recorded a demo of all the parts for the rest of the band and it was added to the album at the last minute. The Division Bell is the bell rung at Parliament when it is time for politicians to cast their vote.
Just a friendly reminder -> "Pausing a David Gilmour solo is considered a sacrilegious thing to do " 😘
Exactly my thoughts!
AMEN!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
They did the same thing during the breakdown on Domination by Pantera
Without a shadow of a doubt sacrilegious 😊
Pausing during David's solo is like pulling the plug on someone's respirator for 10 seconds just as a joke.
David Gilmour is one of the few people I've ever heard who can sing through a guitar. Not mimicking words like a Steve Vai, but actually conveying emotions. He's a master at it, and I love absolutely everything about this performance.
one of the few guitarists who can thrill with playing just two notes!
Yes he is, I would also add Mark Knopfler and Mike Oldfield too, such feeling and emotion in their guitar playing.
The lyrics are just epic. "Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side ", just awesome. Polly Samson, David's wife, who wrote a lot of lyrics for the album, did an absolutely great job here
That pause during the solo was like a stab in the chest.
This band is on the same level like Mozart! You never get bored out of this music! It is music for eternity!
I thought about that you know. The soundtrack to heaven.
11:21 she looked soo pissed when you interrupted the solo ahaha
I have 50 yo , i love many bands and many artist , but for me Pink Floyd is the best band of all times . 😎👍✨🥁🎶🎸
You should react to "Sorrow" from the same concert - amazing song - with typically epic guitar playing by DG, everyone on stage firing on all cylinders - you'll even see the second drummer get a real workout! Don't miss it!
Sorrow is Epic! David's other Tour De Force!
A monstrous amount of musical layers and sounds, all done live. Nobody like them, nobody. Incredible beauty.
David Gilmour is The Guitar god, whether it's an electric, slide, or acoustic guitar, no one can play like Gilmour, with such emotion
Don't tell Roger, but he's pretty good on the bass too. ;)
@@zoeherriot Considering he played a lot of bass on studio albums, that's not surprising.
Try Andrew Latimer (Camel) especially live on the song Ice.
@@swinetrek yes. Including pink Floyd albums.
I really enjoy seeing all the young people still enjoying the music! Seems like so long ago now that I worked for Pink Floyd setting up the stage.
I LOVE that you're going through these songs from the Pulse concert! Keep going! Also, "On the Turning Away," from the Delicate Sound of Thunder show is well worth it! Anyway, I'm with you for this journey!
Beatiful song, it makes me remember the days when i was on the streets hanging out with my friends. Sometimes makes me silently cry. I love my love, i love my kids, wife and everything around me, but i am not that little kid i was before and i miss him.
"...Forever and ever"
i think we all miss being that little kid again. im literally crying right now for the things that are gone
Ditto.
i have been listening to this band for 50 years now and people say how do they do this or how do they do that and my answer is they do everything because they are PINK FLOYD the music is fantastic there live shows are spectacular
i was there oct 28 94 in earls court londonthe best show ive ever seen!
High hopes - masterpiece
High Hopes is all about the dreams, ambitions and hopes that we have when young and the way in which we fall short as our lives progress, as I have got older I appreciate this song even more and the sense of melancholy that surrounds it as our dreams are replaced by reality in life, I've heard several cover versions of the song and they all fall short as they tend to miss that sense of melancholy that is at the heart of the song and nobody can really better this live performance.
This is such a great song Even without Roger Waters. The Division Bell is a really good album.
David Gilmour's wife Polly wrote this song with David.
Without who?? 😂😂 The egomaniac who thought that HE was Pink Floyd!! I think not!! This concert just shows how talented the others were, with some great musicians joining them, Guy Pratt on bass and Jon Carin on the other keyboards. Wow wish that I had seen this concert!!
Had the chance to see them on this tour. Unbelievable! Watch the closer…Run Like Hell!
yes!!!
I love Pink Floyd! All of their songs take you to a place that makes you feel amazing.
I feel so blessed to have been living with the music of Pink Floyd filling my ears & my soul since 1973, when I first heard of them.
So glad to see that you guys & this generation feel the same way about them as all us oldies do. Keep it up.
I also first heard them in '73 when DSOTM came out😊👍
Please do more from this concert, like all of them 😎👍👍
This version is just pure Magic. Maybe one of the best songs ever made. The haunting verses that breaks up in the bright chorus are great songwriting. The solos are epic.
Pink floyd = perfection
Just watch the whole concert, it'll blow your minds from start to finish. There has never been anything quite like it.
High Hopes, my favorite song of Pink Floyd
this is probably my favorite song by them, others come close but this just gets it for me. hell the entire album hits me in the feels
Echoes
This is my favourite live performance of any Pink Floyd song and it is one my favourite songs by them, but my favourite of all has to be Time.
Need to check out 'sorrow' from the pulse set. The whole concert is amazing.
SORROW was a huge tune!!!
Pink Floyd and Nightwish, best symphonic bands ever, and both with epic High Hopes.
I would throw the Moody Blues in there also.
I first saw this concert when I was 16, my friend had just travelled to London to see this show and this was broadcast on the BBC a few days later, we turned the lights off closed the curtains and just sank into it for the whole 2 and a half hours on his big screen TV it was so exciting! It changed my world musically! I'll never forget that moment for as long as I live. Many many more songs you could react to from this show! Pink Floyd were always be special and always will be in my mind.
Your guys' smiles were the same as mine when I first listened to this song. U guys are dope!!
Gilmour is a genius. Omg, he can do so many things amazing. Let us not forget that he wrote a lot of this stuff.
A tidbit, at a music store in Seattle back in the early 80's and David Gilmore comes in wanting to try a slide guitar. He plays it for a while and buys it on the spot. It's that same slide he plays in this song.
This is definitely the most poetic of all the Pink Floyd songs. The lyrics are just awesome.
They will always be the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life. I hope I finally get to see them live in the after life gig of eternity.
My favorite band of all time... Thanks for doing this reaction guys!!
Brilliant song especially the electric guitar at the end.
I love that you two musicians so appreciate the Floyd. Love ya all
Ladies and germs, one of the best songs ever written! ❤️

An awesome tune this was ....... i also recommend "One Of These Days" from the same Pulse concert ...... it freakin rocks !!!
That is one of the great, overlooked performances of this concert.
I worked for them in 1994. Division Bell Tour. He had 55 trucks! 600 people to build the stage for one day show !
Love your reactions to Floyd! Oh and woman you are absolutely stunning! Have fun with ur Floyd journey
Rip to Richard Wright on the keyboards…..he was amazing
Shout out to Bass player Guy Pratt, who has driven the beat for Pink Floyd/David Gilmore for decades since Waters left. He is always spot on and pushes the songs along so beautifully. Of course David is the spotlight, because he is a guitar god, but props to everyone else in this band who help make the Floyd sound so great.

Pink floys songs and visuals take us to another dimension...this song visuals bring us back to childhood memories....david gilmour is a legend❤️🔥
Run Like Hell-from this is epic. Not kidding. Well , this whole show is an amazing experience.
Pink floyd , genios
My best PF track...lyric wise
Dave Mustaine said that Gilmour could do more with one note than most guitarists could do with an entire fretboard
This performance was perfect
Pink. Floyd. Are. The. Best. 👍👍👍👍
Thre is also another version of this song which they played in Gdansk (on TH-cam as well). It's again Gilmour with pretty much the same band, performing this song. Mostly the same, but they added a longer outro with violins in conjuction with his acoustic guitar. It really finishes the song proper and it's just beautiful.
Yeah the Gdansk version is perfect with the orchestra involved.

Pink Floyd - Monsters of Sound - every Concert... I have seen PF in some Concerts ... my brain was re-configured for ever...
This song is a complete masterpiece.
Modal mixing (Minor key verse to Major key chorus) is what hit you like a brick.
You'd love the solo in .. On the turning away live from the delicate sound of thunder concert !!! :P
Groups like Pink Floyd and Journey and others of those days always told a story, took you on a journey and often grabbed you by the guts and made you FEEL.
From watching all of your reactions I would have to say Suzie is totally lost in Floyd, to her it's like everything stops when Floyd is playing, luv it !
All I can say is listening and watching Pink Floyd is like going into a gallery sitting down and staring at a Leonardo da Vinci painting "Pure Genius".
Pure emotions, fell, heart and music !!! Nothing more ...
FYI this is one of the best songs you're ever going to hear ❣️
Fantastic song, one of my favorites from them.....great to see that your both recognized the creative value of this track right away! Cheers all!
YOU'RE SO RIGHT - When David Gilmore starts to sing "The Gras Is Greener" it touches me in such a way that it almost brings tears to my eyes, because then I suddenly have to think of all the beautiful things I experienced and maked in my youth especially with my best friends🤯😉.

This song is so true that it brings a suffering that makes me broken. It almost brang me to the worst one day. But still I couldn't end it besides of suffering... Today I have 4 year young son and I cry in hide for the fate of man...
“Comfortably Numb” - “Sorrow” - “On The Turning Away” -“Money” - “Time”- “Another Brick In The Wall” - “Keep Talking” - “High Hopes” - “Great Gig In The Sky” - “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” - “Learning To Fly” - “Coming Back To Life” - “Dogs Of War” - “What Do You Want From Me” - "Run Like Hell" - “HEY YOU” - Pink Floyd- David Gilmour Guitar Solos I have seen performed Live in 4 concerts. “The Master Of The Stratocaster”
The lap steel. So good. Many British guitarists were influenced by American blues.
That solo at the end is so awesome. It feels like David with the acoustic on his back is riding off into the sunset.
Class, Style,and Quality is Pink Floyd. Period.
There are bands and then there is PINK FLOYD.
My favorite song of all time simply the greatest heard it when I was 7 years old now i'm 35 brings me back to that time can't even explain what it means just the best ever
The best track with Pink Floyd....My opinion
🇸🇪

THAT WAS DAMN GREAT....THE HORROR OF MY CHILDHOOD F OR I WAS BROKEN BY EPILEPSY......THE BELLS WERE RINGING!!!
As others have said before me, “You don’t just listen to Pink Floyd…you EXPERIENCE Pink Floyd.”
LET THERE BE ROCK, LIVE AT THE RIVER PLATE!!!
Beautiful!
Love you guys!
One of the best guitar solo of all time!
I love this song!!!!
They put together such a complete piece... You should check out the last version of echos with richard wright.. Its 20 mins of perfection... Great reaction!!! Keep them coming!

The division bell is my favorite album, really an underrated album.
Nick Mason so damn cool he just shows up to one of the greatest shows in history wearing dockers and a button down...
