Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away | FIRST TIME REACTION | '88

[@cockynanderson]

I thought you described that point where everyone sang together perfectly. A community. That is what this song advocated for. We are all in this together. None of us are getting out alive so we need to all make the best of it and let's just get along and love one another.

[@majpa9170]

I saw and heard them live 2 times in those days, absolutely great

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Pink Floyd never gets old. The solos just capture my spirit and im where they are. So glad i had this music. No our bands , every member knew how important they are for the musical piece. If they wearnt important, they would not be there.

[@richardturk7162]

The part where they all sing and the music stops is remarkable and very moving.

[@philipkuriger3420]

The instrument you are talking about David playing is a Peddle steel guitar. They are used a lot in traditional country music.

[@redsquirrel1086]

The instrument you were talking about is the lap steel guitar. I suggest you watch the track "High Hopes" from PULSE.

[@stevebradley6275]

Also knowns as a slide guitar (although some slide guitars are also played standing up). Specifically, it is a Fender Deluxe Lap Steel slide guitar

[@ArthurDentt-l6j]

Yup. It’s the same strings as a regular guitar but it’s played with a steel tube thingy and it’s built like a table…sort of

[@redsquirrel1086]

@@ArthurDentt-l6j Exactly 🤣

[@lananiella]

Gilmour's most amazing pedal steel moment by far is and will always be "One of These Days". Live, of course. Preferably "Pulse"

[@chadbattman6677]

@@stevebradley6275 You can also play "slide guitar" with a normal guitar with a slide tube.

[@Rackelhane]

This is a song with a wonderful message. It`s beautiful....Great reaction. Thank you.❤

[@kelleychilton2524]

I was able to see this performance in 1987, pre-cell phone days.

[@frontprochproduction]

This performance is from the Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour which was in the late 80s into 1990. I saw that show in person, it was the best concert I will ever see.

[@RealDiehl99]

I definitely agree with you about the background vocalists. A live performance is like a precious gem; and the background vocals polish it up real nice and make it shine!

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

Also the band is a group of old men, so ya, stick the pretty young ladies in sexy dresses up front.

[@RealDiehl99]

@@JosephHuntelvisnspiders 🤣 no doubt! Those guys aren't dumb😉

[@artbagley1406]

You take away those three ladies with the lovely voices and this is a flimsy song. To absorb the full effect of those vocalists you almost have to see them in the video first; after establishing their presence, they're much easier to pick out during the rest of the song.

[@stephensignor7848]

This is one of my 'must sing along' songs from Pink Floyd. I even sang it in a college talent show, long ago.

[@geoffscott1229]

Shine on you Crazy Diamond" the backup singer is mindblowing..

[@pyrodiscoflash6115]

Pink Floyd is a Experience of Life through Music that goes straight to your Soul

It is 1988,, there are ZERO phones in the crowd!!

[@doorofnight87]

I can't say that I am familiar with this particular Pink Floyd song, which surprised me, but I really enjoyed it, and your reaction! Hope you feel better soon.

[@jasonli3463]

Hi Biss, thank you for bringing the younger version David back. Enjoy it. BTW, do you catch cold? Just take care.

[@shineon7641]

... No, not a Movie, just a very thoughtful masterpiece with a message for Humanity...

[@geoffscott1229]

I think they are saying, that if each one of us showed a little compassion to our "neighbours" and not so judgemental and blindly going along with the masses...were ALL in this world together..

[@mspicer3262]

I saw them on this tour twice at the CNE in Toronto. Saw them three times on the Pulse tour. Nothing compares to a Pink Floyd concert, it's an experience.

[@purplephnark]

The great gig in the sky from the pulse concert features the backup singers.

[@markroberts8864]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@fredericknalaremah939]

One of Pink Floyds more poignant tracks with a very deep storyline and typical Gilmour solo and of course the amazing backing scream!

[@rafaelgama3532]

you bring so much joy in your reacts, it's so adorable!

[@johneaston197]

I just noticed on most of the Pulse videos Gilmour is playing a red Strat and not his legendary black Strat.

[@richardhargrave6082]

Its a great song and a great performance from all of the musicians. The three beautiful ladies' backing vocals just lift it to another level

[@3YearsApart1613]

Such a good song. I had forgot about this one. Very good pick to react to.

[@jasnycal]

You always look amazing, i bet you look the most beautiful with no make up and glasses!

[@vicprovost2561]

They were great no matter what tour you saw them at, masters of the studio or the stage, nice performance to say the least. Amazing ensemble making for the gigantic sound they produce, every song is a masterpiece but also different. Also from that tour, do Dogs Of War, another banger of a tune that is always relevant. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶🔥

[@larryzeigler2558]

My dear, I loved your reaction! Especially how you appreciated the background singers. They totally rock this song. They give me chills every time I watch this video.

[@michaellord569]

Try "High Hopes" it will make you think.

This looks like the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour, based on the staging. I think that was 1999

I apologise if anyone has answered this question already but this concert was on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour and recorded in 1988.

[@ymasse5755]

On May 22nd 1994 in Montreal, QC, Canada I was a 17 years old kid at the Olympic Stadium, section 401 I was there and I remember the show like if it was yesterday.

[@thepragmatic6383]

I saw this concert twice, on May 23 and 24, 1994, Montreal Olympic Stadium. My employer (Labatt Breweries of Canada) was the sponsor for the three shows in Montreal, they were offering employees discounted tickets, in addition to a draw of a few dozen tickets. I bought mine for May 23 and I won those (a pair) for May 24. Some people have asked me, "Why are you going to see this show twice?" When they finally saw the DVD of this show a few years later, they understood why I was there twice.

[@FedorMachida]

The Background singers were so damn beautiful and talented. Really made the performance, imo. Gilmour is a genius as well as Waters. I have seen them in concert 6 times, over the years, lol Pink Floyd has had a big impact in my life.

[@silvanasala5769]

I think it's one of the most beautiful they've written and sung.. David was wonderful here 😁❤️🥰

[@paulgarrett210]

must see pulse concert

[@fastecp1]

I was at this concert. Called A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. Pink Floyd embarked on a tour that took them to sell-out concerts worldwide. The tour was a series of 3 tours, starting with the ‘ Momentary Lapse Tour’, which commenced on September 9, 1987, to December 12, 1987. Then, on January 22, 1988, they began the ‘World Tour’ on August 23, 1988. They picked up their instruments again on May 13, 1989, when they kicked off the ‘Another Lapse’ part of the trilogy. The final date of these tours was July 18, 1989.

[@buglover6343]

I’m new to your channel but It’s clear very early on that you’re very astute as to some of the more subtle aspects of music production and nuances of instrument fills and subtle flourishes. Your enthusiasm and joy of experiencing new music is infectious!

[@Daehawk]

The song is about turning away from the suffering and ignoring those in need.... we should not be turning away, remaining apathetic to the suffering of so many in the world, both at home and abroad - we should all remain constantly aware and do what we can to help them, and to promote some much needed change and love.

[@jameskellison9342]

this is really good song to get inspiration with so much of a unifying message no more turning away the weak and the weary from the faces of the cold and downtrodden I've had this album its such a timeless album love it more reflection here this is good

Epic band, beautiful song

[@artsilva]

So far so good, the video is still up, yayyy... oh and the instrument you are thinking of is the Lap Steel (Slide) Guitar. David to my recollection uses in in maybe two or three songs that I know of. This song is about community and social conscience to those in need. It's a great message.

[@jnsjnsn1699]

The Great Gig In The Sky highlights the background singers. Different shows have different singers.

This concert was part of the tour "Delicate Sound of Thunder" and it happened in the year 87.

No apologies or explanations are ever needed... you always have wonderful reactions for us and we all know about the idiots who were somehow hired by KZbin. Pink Floyd is always a treat, so thank you for today's pick. Say, isn't it about time for some more INXS (hint, hint)? ;)

If you get the chance watch some tracks from the PULSE concert at Earl's Court, London in 1994. It is truly phenomenal.

[@menehune43]

Hope you are feeling better

[@fernandoneves9455]

Pedal Steel is the name of the instrument for slide sounds with no frets and instead of fingers, a piece of metal or glass to keep the notes continuing. There are pedals for the foot that change the pitch like "whammy bars".

[@robertwatson2823]

My favorite Pink Floyd song and version!!! Thank you for the reaction.

[@Almcosta25]

😊 Thank you. Greetings from Portugal

[@JohnHF1957]

Another fine reaction to this magnificent band. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, when I taught senior secondary school Social Studies, I used this majestic ode to a better world to introduce the students to the Human Rights section of the course. The epic guitar solo certainly assisted with getting their attention.

[@f62darkstar]

I was lucky enough to see this tour at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C.....it is something I will never forget.

[@vernhoke7730]

This concert is, I believe, from 1989. The album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" which this song is off, came out in 1987. The actual music video for this epic, it a stop action claymation masterpiece.

1988

Thanks for working while sick. ❤️ I saw The Floyd several times on this tour in 1987-1988. Incredibile shows. It's nice to have a video document of the shows you saw. Pure joy to see them live.

[@trespire]

Hello, the instrument you're refering to is the Steel Lap Guitar. Traditionally played in Blues (the good heavy stuff), and Country. Don't know where you're at in the voyage of Pink Floyd, if you haven't already listened to it, you should enjoy the "Wish You Were Here" album. Best listened to as a whole album (parts 1 & 2).

[@absolutum_magnus]

Lyrically I think this is the best Pink Floyd song. A lot of their songs have deep lyrics but this song carries an uplifting message, a rare trait with Pink Floyd. The last verse is absolutely sublime: No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It’s not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there’ll be No more turning away?

[@markroberts8864]

[@kosys5338]

When everybody sings together it demonstrates unity. Together we stand, divided we fall, it is a simple message that has fallen short in a modern time of selfishness and greed. Kindness, love and understanding has gotten lost in The Turning Away. The turning away is self serving and only deepens our divides but does nothing to unite us and move us forward as a peoples. People turn away because that is the easy thing to do.

[@dinbee4611]

This was at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in August of 1988. I was there one of the nights they were filming but I don't know if it was the night in this video. I was on the floor, center aisle, 10th row, and all I had to do for the ticket was supply the ride from New Jersey and back. A year later I was living just a few miles from there. Fantastic show, of course.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason" is the album and tour name in I believe 1988 into 1989. Look it up on YT it's a lot like the Pulse concerts of1994. Both are exceptional. That instrument is a lap steel David plays it a lot on the song High Hopes.

[@thedrusher]

Absolutely.. the female backup vocals are fabulous. I feel they make up 30 percent of Pink Floyds sound.

[@robertevans2450]

Get well soon! Steel guitar or Table guitar...there is an acoustic-like setup as well called the lap guitar. High Hopes from the Pulse concert is an excellent example of David playing. The best I have ever seen play the steel guitar is David Lindley as he toured with Jackson Browne. This video was from the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour, the tour before Pulse, and the first tour after settling all the court battles with Roger Waters. More Pink Floyd, please.
