If you like this you will love watching the pulse live version with extended guitar solo

[@FUBAR1986]

And the woman’s voice🎉😂❤👍🤪🫵

[@davidmckenzie420]

Pulse is arguably the best rock concert EVER.

[@pennyhill7680]

Agree ❤

[@onlymeian58]

I was there the night they filmed it. Absolutely mind blowing ❤😎🎸

[@Billydoesyoutubenow]

Definitely! I was in Tampa, Fl, 3rd row, front n center. 24 yrs old.

[@xhighone]

It's pretty amazing, however I'm hoping they go through some albums first in some general order before getting to the more recent stuff.

[@michaeloreilly2533]

I caught that tour in Philly. It’s definitely on the very short list of greatest concert experiences.

[@JC-es5un]

You guys should listen to their album “The Dark Side of the Moon” straight through. Each song leads into the next, so the entire album is like one massive song. 👍🔥

[@tricky2055]

Yes! When I was in high school,my guitar teacher told me to listen to Dark Side in the ear with headphones while lying down. He told me it was better than drugs. He was right. (Almost. . . 😮)

[@andyandalex]

I think these gentlemen are ready to hear Dark Side of the Moon all the way through, who’s with me?! 🤣🔥 PS. Your “assistant” is very knowledgeable and respectful of the craft, great lad! - Andy

[@MrDeadstu]

Andy ! Merry Christmas dude, and a Happy New Year brother. Hey R/E acts - listen to this dude, he knows Pink Floyd 100%.

[@futurereflections4097]

The blindfolds is a great touch. Pink Floyd really is best listened to with your eyes closed.

[@thorzzz1z]

and being comfortably Numb :)

[@ejohnson3837]

Pink Floyd was light years ahead of most bands .

[@jedolivier2688]

In terms of originality, TOOL is the only comparable band.

[@stephenpemberton85]

Still are!!!!✌️💛🤘

[@Slumbert]

​@@jedolivier2688 Mike Oldfield is the best. Even Pink Floyds Dark side of the moon is nothing compared to Ommadawn, Hergest Ridge, Incantations etc.

[@goddogghe]

Pink Floyd still IS light ahead of most bands😅😅😅

[@thekeytothegate]

Still are.

[@donaldwhitt689]

He's not overdosing, he's having a mental breakdown on tour. They brought the Doc in to drug him up so he could do the show.

[@martykehoe8510]

Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time. No other band combines the depth lyrically with the amazing emotion of their music. David Gilmour makes the guitar sing like no other. You have just entered the rabbit hole with Floyd. I strongly recommend continuing the journey. You won't be disappointed. One other thing, their albums are meant to be listened to from the start to finish. Many of their albums are "concepts" telling a story.

[@lauriecahill1697]

Pink Floyd-Shine On You Crazy Diamond

[@kirstenstewart5758]

Yessss! Brings me to tears every single time I hear it, it’s just so beautiful

[@petermorgan5303]

Total masterpiece!

[@tjmasson1013]

This is a lifetime rabbit hole fellas. But this performance is a masterpiece

[@vicrodriguez8344]

The studio version of Comfortably Numb has a great guitar solo at the end, the live version at the Pulse concert is one of those songs that sound better live.

[@suzanneanderson6921]

Man...that crying guitar by David Gilmour gives me chills every time

[@PowderedToastMan420]

These are CONCEPT albums. The entire album tells a story. Each track segues into each other. It's as if you opened a book in the middle. PINK FLOYD=GOAT!.

[@wangobadankas4038]

In all fairness it looks like perhaps it was pulled from a "best of".compilation. The song is good enough to stand alone.

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

100% correct!

[@kikivon3501]

And if you listen very closely The Wall ends just as it began😉

[@xhighone]

Finally, some Pink Floyd. I've been lurking this channel for this day. I hope they do a deep dive.

[@triadmad]

I guess it's for the best to hear the studio version first. Seeing them perform it live during the 1994 Pulse Concert could very easily induce sensory overload. It durn near done it to me when I saw them perform it in Pittsburgh that year.

[@thorzzz1z]

The Pink Floyd rabbit hole has begun

[@nnNUBSss]

Watch the LIVE performance of Comfortably Numb. Specifically from the "PULSE" Concert

[@CaseyQ]

"Time" would be a great next stop on the Pink Floyd journey.

[@angelagraves865]

I will 100% recommend the entire Wish You Were Here album, as well as every other album from Meddle through The Division Bell. Pink Floyd is altogether different from probably anything else you'll hear. They're cerebral as well as deeply emotional. David Gilmour can bring you to tears with a single note, and, although it's not a Gilmour song, I have yet to make it through the live Pulse version of Great Gig in the Sky without crying. They're arguably the greatest band that's ever been, and they've influenced every genre of music that's come after them. If you want lyrics you might like better, try the song Dogs (Roger Waters was a genius lyricist). Please don't let the length of some of their songs dissuade you from listening because every one of them leaves you wanting more. Echoes, for instance, is a 23 minute long masterpiece. Btw, the eye masks are an excellent idea. I wish more reactors would do that when listening to Pink Floyd in particular. Their music just hits different, and when you allow it to take you away it becomes an entire experience. I very much hope you keep listening. For a decent representative sample of their music (if you don't want to listen to the whole album), I'd suggest the songs Money, Hey You, Keep Talking, Wish You Were Here, Have a Cigar, and Great Gig in the Sky. But seriously, Meddle ======> The Division Bell. I'm subscribing for more Pink Floyd ✌🏽🎸🤘🏽💗🖖🏽

[@farhanshahriar1616]

One of the greatest guitar solos of all time

[@markschattefor6997]

THE example of the definition less is more.

[@Kavala76]

"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" Parts I-V Sleep masks on, NOW!

[@rogercaruso9337]

Check out the live version

[@petermorgan5303]

Absolutely, with the lightshow

[@Hippy1969]

I'm sure you have heard this, but please listen and/or watch The Wall. It's phenomenal and there is so much more to it than just Pink's descent into madness. Thank you for taking the time!

[@helenespaulding7562]

GREAT idea with the blindfolds! Floyd is always best served in a dark room. In my day, with black light posters, floor pillows, incense, friends and a bong ✌️✌️

[@kevinbrown688]

Fun fact: The person that conducted the orchestra on this album also did the background orchestra live album from Metallica S&M. His name Michael Kamen.

[@carlakane3313]

My favorite conductor of all time. ❤

[@Rikalonius]

If you don't want the solo to go away, watch the Pulse Concert version from 1994. Gilmour stretches it into like 7 minutes of pure epicness.

[@jorgecolon2014]

Ok, you first need to watch this song performed live at the PULSE CONCERT where the guitar solo, played by David Gilmore, goes on for about 6 minutes and was amazing. Pink Floyd is known for it's live shows because they go all out with a dazzling display of light, lasers and pyrotechnics unlike anything you have ever seen at a concert. The PULSE CONCERT is the one to watch!

[@tjmasson1013]

Live version is a must

[@vicprovost2561]

They are in my top 3 with Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. Those 3 are as good as it gets in music, period!

[@helenespaulding7562]

Hah! My three as well! I think we’re the same age cohort. 😁

[@dlongstaff1960]

Absolutely agree.

[@wesalker3479]

Once you know the back story for the lyrics . . . THE TRUE BACK STORY . . . it all makes TOTAL sense . . .

[@jamesburg9718]

so pumped for you guys to get into Pink Floyd!!!

[@dougieyou]

You need to react to the PULSE Concert version of this song...MIND BLOWER !!!!!!

[@danreed5171]

Allman Brothers band will make realize..any song..........Eagles "One of these Nights'

[@terryconnelly484]

One hell of a concert.It doesn't matter which one

[@avoncalling7886]

Some great Floyd tracks: Another Brick in the Wall, Time, Run Like Hell, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, great Gig in the Sky, Money, Hey You…. Happy listening! 😊

[@jorgecolon2014]

Also, you need to hear not only the Wish You Were hear album, but The Dark Side of The Moon album and The Wall album which they made a movie from. Pink Floyd released these albums in the 70s and early 80s.

[@DaveCanfield-l1q]

I’m so jealous of you two. Your first time listening to Pink Floyd. Wow. I wish I could go back to that time.

[@pennyhill7680]

Perfection 😂 THIS music is to be experienced not just listened to. Great reaction🌹

[@kevinbrown688]

Prepare to be mind blown shine on floydians.

[@rogercaruso9337]

That's why you need to listen to the full version it's a lot longer

[@helenespaulding7562]

The full LIVE version. This was the full studio version.

[@rogercaruso9337]

@helenespaulding7562 yeah that's what I meant the live version forgot to put that little tidbit in there.

[@kevinbrown688]

My favorite guitar solo of all time!

[@kikivon3501]

Gilmore is a poet, his note placement is pure perfection.

[@kikivon3501]

Gilmore is a poet.

Well, back in the day, it was a bong and cheap wine for us! 😉✌️

[@moritzr1749]

Do Pink Floyd live Echoes in Pompei

[@Isleofskye]

You have just missed one of the greatest LIVE performances of all time Guys. "Comfortably Numb-Pink Floyd@PULSE" but you MUST watch it as the accompanying light show i spectacular./

[@Chamomileable]

This song is part of a massive double album called The Wall. It's a concept album, so each song progressively tells a new chapter in one giant story. This song stands well alone but takes place pretty much in the middle of the story. Highly recommend looking into the album.

[@garyclark9618]

Welcome my son. Welcome to the machine 😄

[@DougRennpferd-n2i]

damn yeah

[@stecumo6459]

one of the greatest songs ever written from the best band ever lived,the touches in this song are off the charts.from the strings,to the oompah brass to literally one touch of a triangle in the second verse,the fretless bass,the roger's ying to dave yang in voice transition all the way through this album.the albums a masterpiece,always do the studio versions lads before you check out the live

[@kevinsattler6603]

Pink floyd the band that launched a million trips

[@RodMcarty-r9i]

Now you guys know what your grandfathers were listing to in the 70's. Led, Black Sabbath, ZZTop, Tens Years After, Pink Floyd and much more.

[@tombukowiecki]

My absolute favorite song. I enjoyed this video too, ty!

[@cadleo]

1:33 It was a nightmare. Very observant. If you want the full context youll need to check out the entire album or movie, The Wall by Pink Floyd

[@walley2637]

this is what we used to do as young teens back when this came, but we would lay on the floor in the dark listening to the entire album side. it takes you to a different plane.

[@ken-in-KY]

You guys are listening to one of the greatest Progressive Rock Bands in Rock N' Roll History!

[@helenespaulding7562]

I think of Floyd as being their own genre. To me, they don’t sound anything like Genesis or Yes or ELP or Rush. Slower, less intricate….more emotive, majestic, cinematic….goes deep into the emotions.

[@TheSunflowers75]

Would love to see you do the Dark side of the moon album by Pink Floyd 🙂

[@somersetcace1]

8:37 Funny too, because that IS the next song on the album - "The Show Must Go On"

[@DclementsRolandfc]

Absolutely have to see this live "pulse concert" it will blow your mind. Also pink Floyd is like led Zeppelin in that they have an unlimited supply of absolutely amazing songs and lps. Top favorite live performances ever (soooo many) pink Floyd "comfortably numb" pulse concert (possibly best guitar solo). Led Zeppelin Madison square garden, "stairway to heaven" or "since I've been loving you". Rush "working man" live Cleveland concert. (Absolutely insane talent for three guys). Pearl jam " black" mtv live. Anything Chris Cornell see his Audio slave "like a stone video" soooooo much mind bending music out there.

[@robertpetre9378]

The live version at pulse is a lot more impactful

[@weskosich8313]

Listening the studio version is best for first timers. Then the live shows you watch of a song you can appreciate it more.

[@mikemicrael5749]

I totally agree! One of the few live songs I recommend is "Black Coffee" by Humble Pie from the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973. Steve Marriott must be seen and heard.

[@Isleofskye]

Nort always,my friend. If you hear the studio version of the epoc guitar solo first then you are not so overwhelmed as you would be if you just dived into the PULSE version:)

[@chrissmith1011]

Pink Floyd "Time".

[@theruzzmon1066]

The pluse live concert version is far superior.

[@danreed5171]

Boyz d Pink Floyd ' Have a Cigar' and Joe Satriani 'Surfin with the Aliens'---------------------------ALso do U2 'War' and 'Magnificent'.fuckin ENJOY.

[@uncletom618]

FIRST time caller here, fresh sub as well. Way too many reactors just gotsta have a video to accompany the audio of a song. Its like they only read books that have pictures in them. More often, music is an AUDITORY experience, not a visual one. I wish more reactors put on blindfolds. That was brilliant to see you do that! Let’s make that a fucking trend!

[@jenniferandrews1917]

Saw them LIVE in Phoenix. Great show.

[@mabus999]

Pulse live vesion with extended guitar outtro is incredible, not to mention the visual.

[@aftonair]

Great analysis. Eyes closed, headphones on is the proper way to hear Pink Floyd.

[@MrDiveDave]

Listening to Pink Floyd is different than other bands. Their music is more of an experience than listening. It takes on its own kind of life and its fucking amazing.

[@ericreep5341]

I recommend The Wall and Dark Side...yes, all of both! 😄 First time watching, great video! Peace from NC

[@thrashersheaf7440]

The more you listen to pink floyd the more your life changes.. Period. PULSE live 1994... you have to do it.

[@jeffwooten5205]

Thanks for this! It's been a while since I've heard it. Saw them in concert back in the day. They have a lot of great music. Please check more out!

[@lesblatnyak5947]

David Gilmour is the greatest slow hand guitarist ever. A song called Roundabout by YES, off the Fragile album, is a peach ✨️🎶✨️

[@joepaskowski9091]

My guy in the red sweater ( sorry don’t know your name) got it right…lean back, arms out and let the Pink Floyd sound just wash over you. Been listening g to them for over 40 years now and I’m still in awe how this band can just put you in a mood…David Gilmour is my God.

[@adriancole9681]

All of Dark Side of the Moon and all of Wish you were here

[@mileslong66]

This is the one that got me subscribed!… Looking forward to future reactions! Don’t lose me….

[@kikivon3501]

David Gilmore is a poet, he can pull more emotion out of one note than most guitarists get from the whole fret board. The Wall, Wish you Were Here, and Dark Side of the Moon are concept albums best enjoyed, at least the first listen, in their entirety. The albums tell a story, a single song without the context of the story loses some of the subtle meaning and nuances. It’s the same as “ To Pimp a Butterfly” you understand the individual songs better after you’ve listened to the whole album from start to finish.

[@saturdayfan744]

Please, Please listen to “Wish you were here”. The song or the whole album, both are outstanding!! Wish you were here is my all time favorite song with my favorite song lyric, “did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage”

[@MaximMelamed]

The live Pulse version doesn't stop. That solo just keeps going. Also, do the full album reaction. This is good by itself but out of context. Like eating just the entre but no appetizers or dessert.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Do the live version of this from Pulse and you can get a MUCH longer out of this world guitar solo from David Gilmour!

[@bto7754]

[@gregorylazarin3531]

The fact he said “the show must go on” and that’s the title of the next song on the album is wild

[@Christopher51now]

When you guys do Floyd do the whole album and read the lyrics. ✌️they are on a different level.

[@margaretporter2360]

The Wall is a good start and echos by Pink Floyd are wonderful. Back in our day albums ran from song to song like telling a story so picking a song here and there won’t have the same impact. Just saying😀

[@eric_axelson]

Might want to watch their movie 'The Wall'.

[@ken-in-KY]

Gotta listen to the entire "Dark Side Of The Moon" album first before their later albums.

[@flubblert]

Check out "Time" by them next. Stunned that the one guy didn't like the lyrics. Pink Floyd/Roger Waters are acclaimed for some of the finest writing in Rock. The aforementioned "Time" from their classic 'Dark Side of the Moon' album will confirm.

[@helenespaulding7562]

DO THE ENTIRE WISH YOU WERE HERE ALBUM! 😁. My personal favorite album of theirs. (you’re welcome) ✌️

[@davidjames4156]

You need to listen to the wall from start to finish. The double album is four sides of music that is one long story. Listen to the album first. Then watch the movie and you will understand

[@had64198]

Watch the luve version at Pulse. It's so amazing with their light show.

[@BD-tk2nr]

Comfortably Numb Live PULSE

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

Pink Floyd must be listened to concept album by concept album. That incredible 1970s arc. No 80s, no 60s. Not yet. Here's your challenge: 1. MEDDLE (1971) 2. DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (1973) 3. WISH YOU WERE HERE (1975) 4. ANIMALS (1977) 5. THE WALL (1979) You gotta do Floyd right, man!

[@markpalfenier5851]

If you are. A lyrics person there is a band called rush from Canada. And the drummer his name is neil peart wrote ninety percent of The lyrics for this band which has A history of forty years Starting in nineteen sixty seven all the way through twenty fifteen It's a three man band From which tool, Dream theater And many other prog Rock bands got their inspiration. The keyboardist basis and vocalist Is geddy lee, The drummer percussionist and lyricist is neil peart And the guitarist is alex lifeson. They have a number of instrumental music as well as music with lyrics , most of them Are long songs Twenty one twelve which is twenty minutes Long
