The entire Pulse album is amazing. Pick any song and it will blow you away.

[@kennypierce8221]

Watch the entire pulse concert. You will be amazed.

[@lyvmyk9988]

Pink Floyd is never in a hurry to kick your @ss, but when you wake up on the canvas you know your @ss has been thoroughly kicked.

[@capetowntrikeman]

Same concert...Coming Back To Life, Sorrow, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell, Shine On You Crazy Diamond...any song from this concert will blow your mind.

[@toniyoung5131]

This was the penultimate encore, played after a full concert. Run Like Hell, also from The Wall, is a rousing song to send the audience home stunned.

[@keyrat1753]

From the same Pulse Concert, please check out SORROW, and also RUN LIKE HELL.

[@flubblert]

You can be a forgiven for being a little speechless at the end. Tends to happen when listening to these guys. Don't stop there. Check out the studio version of "Time" by them next.

[@keyrat1753]

The album you referred to with 2 men in suits (1 man is on fire) is Wish You Were Here.

[@JenniferStephan-yu9gf]

Best song ever! Best live performance ever! I went to see this show twice during this tour. One outdoor show and one indoor show. Both were something I’ll NEVER EVER forget. I do feel very fortunate to have been able to witness this live. If you get a chance to go see Brit Floyd definitely go. They are the next best thing.

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Have fun, Insanian! Pink Floyd will change your life for the better - One thing people will tell you is that Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall are concept albums. The Wall was actually made into a movie that is good and interesting. The point is that while you can listen to the songs individually and appreciate them, which you did here (Comfortably Numb is from The Wall), you wouldn't know that the song is about a rock star on tour and that The Wall is a metaphor that dictates a lot of what main character is all about. Both albums have songs that go right into other songs and all the songs are related, thematically.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

Coming Back to Life is another amazing song from Pulse. And yes, that's really his voice. 😊

[@darylabbott2032]

On the Turning Away live 1987 another good one

[@richardmckee5729]

You've got over half a century of Pink Floyd music and history to catch up on! (Over 250 million records sold) DON'T MISS A SECOND OF IT!!! You won't be disappointed....

[@bill3118]

Probably, sorry only joking, Definitely the best solo you'll ever hear

🇨🇦 IMHO the Best music written, created, played or sung in the last Century was performed between 1959 to 1989 ! #BoomersRock And this song was released in 1979 ! 🇨🇦

[@jonhenke1504]

David Gilmour the lead singer and guitarist that you just saw is coming out with a new album in September and is going to perform live in several shows in October of this year!!! He's older but he's more brilliant than ever!!

[@smithpm81]

best song best band best show ever

i saw them in 77' lol, the Animals' tour...definitely timeless🎸🤘welcome to Floyd🤙

[@hognaut]

Welcome to the machine that is Pink Floyd 👍

[@sidviscious8381]

@ 6:05 You GOT it! Jon Anderson of Yes said that "too often, we're in too much of a hurry to take the time TO TAKE THE TIME to enjoy a piece of music". Floyd: the masters of it all! (Yes: damn good too!)

[@FirstHumanOfficialChannel]

Pulse concert is the best live rock concert of all time.

[@steveboyes2090]

That’s his voice. And a backup singer. They don’t make real music anymore, or much play it this excellent, without fanfare or “look at me” stuff.

[@dansernerkhi8995]

They have so so many great songs, You're in for a real musical trip

[@RichardKirby-zo2ro]

Enjoyed your reaction ! The studio version particularly of Us and Them will also blow you away . Have tissues ready for your ears.

[@alb21figueiredo]

Quando assistir um vídeo de Floyd, nunca feche os olhos, perderá muita coisa. Acho que é uma das únicas bandas onde o público fica totalmente hipnotizado e só se manifesta no final da música. Ótima reação e abraços aqui do Brasil.

[@insanianreacts]

Hope you guys enjoy the vid 😝❤️

It's good to know that you're enjoying it so much that you feel talking through the solos is good

This is what we (the old people around you) were doing, long before you were born. The album with the two guys in suits on the cover is called "Wish You Were Here", and you'll love it - promise!

Great reaction. You’ll love the songs Sorrow and High Hopes same pulse concert. So many great Pink Floyd songs. David Gilmour is a guitar master 😊.

Amazing reaction my man. Respect to david gilmour and you!

great reaction, id recommend that you try " SORROW " from the same live pulse concert, it will blow you away

[@mikehenderson631]

New prescriber because ya'll are listing to Pink Floyd

[@siliconcowboy2010]

One reviewer said of the solo, “the solo that never ends. That is what I would like to hear. Who is this guy?” That’s David Gilmor. He’s not from this planet.

[@franciscolarranaga1955]

🎉they created this music at your edge!!

[@mikehenderson631]

The league guitars from vocalist is David gilmthe member actual member of Pink Floyd, who's playing the drums, , is Nick Mason? The actual member of Pink Floyd playing keyboards, Richard Wright and the man he took Roger Waters place on base. His name is guy Pratt

[@darylabbott2032]

Sorrow from Pulse concert also Wish You Were Here

[@marke8323]

I saw this Tour live in '94, I've seen many concerts, this was the best!

[@user-hh7wo4qt2y]

God create the women and the men and after Pink Floyd. I am 65 years , i have see the 3 last performances in France 1988, 1989, 1994 and i can die now !

[@stevepryce6776]

The "Floyd" effect! The eyes close, the head sways, a pained expression comes over the face. The pained look comes from the Gilmore guitar tugging at your soul!!!

[@shawnlawson1773]

Check out Run Like Hell from the same concert, as we as Great Gig In The Sky. RLH is the finale of this concert and you'll see why. For that matter, watch the entire Pulse concert. It's all amazing.

[@rods6741]

Saw this show at a different venue. Best concert I've ever seen. Funny, I remember being a little annoyed at the $35 ticket price when most bands charged in the high $20's. Turned out to be a bargain.

[@mikewatts867]

I stood in line at my local Ticketmaster outlet, camped out starting at about midnight with tickets going on sale around 8am. I was third in line, was going to buy four $100 tickets for close to the stage. I was shocked that they were all gone when I went to get mine. So I got eight $50 tickets, still field level, about 50 yard line. Turned out to be good tickets as you could take in the whole spectacle. We were right next to this big covered thing at mid field, and it ended up being where the giant disco ball came up from. And I was able to introduce some friends to Pink Floyd for the first time. Even $50 felt like a splurge back then, until I was actually at the show and had no regrets whatsoever.

[@rff2552]

Timeless is right!! Dark Side of the Moon just hit #6 on Billboard top 100. It has been on the Billboard top #200 charts for a record 992 weeks and will be the 1st Album to break the 1000 week mark. Not bad for an album from 1974. Timeless!!!

[@yelnikigwawa1845]

You’ve been “Floyded”, brother! Welcome to the crowd! Pink Floyd doesn’t write love songs; they write albums. On most of their albums, including all the great ones, the songs flow one into the next, with only one break - in the middle, to flip the vinyl over. They write about our common experiences - money, time, loneliness, fear, the darker side of life. “Comfortably Numb” is off PF's double-album, “The Wall”, which tells the story of a fictional boy named Pink. He wants to grow up and become a rock star, and over the four album sides he achieves his dream. But it comes at a high personal cost. As Pink grows up, he keeps being hurt~by his mother, his teachers, his girlfriend. So he builds emotional walls, to protect himself - hence, the album’s title. There’s a lot to the story, but the upshot is, by the time we hear “Comfortably Numb” at the end of Side 3, Pink has realized that he has walled himself off from everyone who cared about him. He hates the life he’s made for himself, and he hates himself for making it. In his loneliness and self-hatred, he turns to drugs to escape his pain, and this song is the story of one night before a show, when Pink is found too stoned to perform. The greedy promoter is horrified at the prospect of having to give refunds, so he calls in a rando local doctor, to give Pink a shot of some kind to sober him up and get him on stage. The song is the conversation between the doctor and Pink. PF’s guitarist David Gilmour’s first solo is while Pink is still stoned. But his second solo is after Pink has been ‘sobered up’, and he’s forced to confront the life he hates, his pain, his fear, the aching loneliness, the depression, and Gilmour’s brilliant solo makes us feel it all. The PULSE concert, so named because the original CD release had a red LED light in the spine that flashed, or ‘pulsed’, is a LEGENDARY concert. It’s been called arguably one of the greatest performances ever recorded, and it’s got my vote. I had the pleasure of seeing this concert with 65,000 friends, and it was even better than it looks. You can choose pretty much ANY song from that show, and know it’s a great choice to review. Every song that night was just brain-melting. The title track from the album you mentioned, “Wish You Were Here”, or “Time”, or “Money”, or “Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)”, about Pink’s school days, or the heart-breaking “High Hopes”……every song that night was incredible. Finally, Pink Floyd crafted one of the greatest albums in history, their masterpiece “The Dark Side Of The Moon”. It’s been preserved by the Library of Congress. It’s the fourth-greatest-selling record in history. It’s been on the Billboard weekly sales charts for more than NINE HUNDRED WEEKS. If you don’t wish to react to the entire album (it’s worth the investment of your time), at least react to the final two songs, “Brain Damage / Eclipse”. Pink Floyd’s lyrics make you think. They stay with you. Their music resonates emotionally with people, and I’ve seen many people brought to tears by their songs. This is a rabbit hole worth going down.

Great reaction Your face expressed what i feel everytime I hear them and ive been listening since the 80s.

[@tracyanne1548]

Great reaction ❤❤

[@Beth_OMette]

tech, I'm not even 40.. just turned 39... Floyd was my mothers generation, 60s and 70s, I was 80s... Floyd isn't an age thing, it is a knowing good sound thing.

[@chrisspain-ft5cd]

watch run like hell live from the same pulse concert and be amazed

[@jim1125-cv6yg]

Pink Floyd is slow pace > they will get you there when it's time. Slow pace = comfortably numb. 200 ton stage, 200,000 watts of power 4 sets of 32 wireless speakers. Saw 5 times. FAA clearance for outdoor lasers. Disco ball is a FU to music critics who said they wouldn't make it because they don'y play dance music.

[@jamesgreenhow108]

I suggest your next P.F. Pulse reaction be "Learning To FLY". Get a chance to see they are more than just "The icon" David Gilmour. But pick any song from the PULSE Catalog. You can't go wrong.

[@brendanpelly213]

Have you got mushies in that cup? 😅😉 If not, why not? The beat psychedelic band of all time

[@scozz6139]

No band like Pink Floyd, None. Formed in London in 1964, they've sold hundreds of millions of albums, and counting, worldwide! Their "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album released in 1975 is considered as one of the GOAT albums ever, many fans and Rock critics alike contend it's THE greatest Rock album of all time. The album alone has sold over 60 million copies to date.

[@philipkudrna5643]

That‘s not an effect, that‘s David Gilmour‘s voice - and 3 insanely good background singers doing the BGVs! 1994 was before autotune was even invented. Actually Pink Floyd were still very much ahead of their time, they were the first to have a computerized light show and were actually the inventors of surround sound!

[@Lue-eye]

Now watch it again but watch the re-edited version to see better footage and David standing there like a God🎸

And now you know why old folks don’t understand rap.

If you love this guitar solo you have to react to Dogs, you just have to! 🤩🤩🤩

[@gordonyoung1970]

The song was recorded in 1979, so they were not Sooo old , around about 30 , ( or is that old to you ?) from the Album The Wall. Roger Waters wrote the song (the whole Album actually) he was touring in America and was ill ! nothing to do with drug overdoses, the doctor gave him "an injection ? to get him through the performance) which left him "out of it"

[@SuHo-bp1iy]

... and this is the short version!

[@randyjohnson6960]

❤ the review but dude the blowing on the coffee was a bit annoying sound

[@williamosborne6866]

This obviously got your attention. We've loved this for decades, and can never hear it again for the first time. Seeing young people like you experience it is almost as good. This was the final tour for Pink Floyd (1994), for their final real studio album "The Division Bell", and was released the following year as the live video album "P.U.L.S.E.". David Gilmour still performs this stuff with other musicians as a solo act. Now got for some more amazing stuff. Here are some links I recommend - sit back and get lost in the music: "Sorrow" - the guitar and visual effects will blow you away, and the outro solo is as good (or IMO better than this one): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJWzhZiZaqZ3fKc "One Of These Days" - bass player Guy Pratt gets to shine here, and Dave does steel guitar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF6UYq2li9N7ibM "Keep Talking" - great visuals and Dave on talk box guitar (tribute to Stephen Hawking): kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fdfmmZiJacg6c "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - longer than this one, incredible keyboard and guitar work, with some surprises: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onytaaFurb6XY7M "High Hopes" - the closing track on the final Division Bell album. Dave on acoustic and steel guitars: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnWuga1sgKlrnNU you do soyou do so

[@AdamsAdams-fc1ld]

Check out “Shine on you crazy diamond” Gen X music is great due to the songs back then we’re about real life stories and not all the new auto tune

[@tonidarcy5515]

Maybe next time drink something cold, I heard every sip and slurp with your hot beverage your drinking ☕🍵!! Lol 😆 But jokes aside if you love Pink Floyd I'll let it slide. 😉🎸🎧📻❤️

[@rocknroy58]

Do yourself a favor.. on your own or as a post, but listen to the Dark side of the moon album.. start to finish.. Headphones are a must of course. It was released 50 years ago. Quite possibly the best album ever released. It set records for sales and most weeks (years) on Billboards top 100 albums.

David Gilmour is god.

[@simontemplar3359]

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the people who recommend pulse are WRONG. It is not Pink Floyd. Roger Waters - the singer, bass player, and writer of most of their songs, was not in the band. This is David Gilmour covering Pink Floyd Waters even sued him over it. I say this not to be a jerk but as someone who loves Pink Floyd. PLEASE listen to the album versions. There is so much more depth to the album versions. Unfortunately, reactors all seem to go for the pulse recordings. I saw them on that tour. It was absolutely not their best. And you really need Waters' distinct voice for this to be what it could be.

[@azkikrx1]

You should reconsider choice of language. Unnecessary blasphemy and cursing for a reaction channel.
