First Reaction To Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - pulse concert performance 1994

[@LockInFRreal]

We are just getting into rock and appreciate all the support and information. Will definitely check out more pink floyd songs and give them another try.

[@cheryldanner-tr2mj]

you should do a reaction to A live performance of Dire Straits SULTANS OF SWING

[@starrroberts-n9h]

Please get some high quality headphones or ear buds to listen to your next Pink Floyd tune and the other Classic bands you explore !! God Bless.

[@willcool713]

LOL. Yeah, you guys stepped in it a bit. One of the all time greatest bands with some pretty timeless music. No worries. Obviously you're entitled to your opinion. Don't sweat it. They're prog rock, consummate musicians and poets, and the album is their main art form. Tracks and touring are part of the business, but their concert performances are only homages to their albums, all of which are boundary pushing. It isn't pop, mostly, meant to be thoughtful and insightful more than uplifting. Mostly it's meant for a darker temperament of life experience, but they often hit on something more universal.

[@audiofile8833]

Don't sweat it. You know, it's kind of like Bohemian Rhapsody. Hearing it live is one thing. But as I'm sure you'll agree, hearing it in its album form is quite another. The album version should really be taken in context with the album. Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is that album. And Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is also a movie, and if you wanted, you could do a movie reaction to that. But, if that isn't doable, maybe just stream it. It'll give you a much keener insight into the song and the album as a whole. You won't regret it. David Gilmour is the lead guitarist, and he's one of the best in the world. I mean, he joined Pink Floyd in 1967, so he's had some time to get pretty good at what he does. Pink Floyd formed in 1965, by the way. They've been around for a while. 😀

I long ago Subscribed and, genuinely.like you but WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? lol Under NO circumstances do you interrupt a guitar solo let alone 3 or 4 times,let alone to one of the greatest Guitarists in The World for the last 50+ years since I first saw them. This song BUILDS from a slow start and this is the perfect combination of Music and Lights that you will see on a Rock Stage. THAT Guitar sold for $21.6 MILLION.. You even paused the video 10 seconds from the end. You are given the impression that you do not FEEL this if you feel inclined to pause. lol.PAUSING is like you had a Girlfriend having "fun" and your Mom walks in the room and then you have to start all over..then she walks in AGAIN....Happy New Year:)

Perfect analogy.

[@Dutch-Peter]

you are very right... never stop in the middle of david gilmour's guitar solo.. but you are wrong at 1 little detail... it wasn't his guitar that was soled for 21,6 million.. that was the black strat... but for the rest I agree in everything you say

[@Isleofskye]

I am mortified that I got to make such a Schoolboy error and I only try to crave your forgiveness for my brief moment of complete and utter insanity in making this mistake. I have no excuses and I can only apologize, profusely, for my stupidity, once again. You are a good man for pointing this out to me. I'm inconsolable at the moment..

Pink Floyd deserves good head phones.

[@Mableed4]

Hehe hesaiid good head

[@MyWumpus]

PLEASE use headphones! This is the only way to fully recognize Pink Floyd. "Comfortably Numb" begins deliberately slowly, it indicates the illness of Pink Floyd singer Roger Waters before he is injected with medication by the doctor. He was in severe pain before a concert many years before. That is the story behind of this song. Only then he becomes comfortably numb and the guitar and this music explodes. Pink Floyd is one of the best rock bands in the world, maybe even the best. David Gilmour is the Grand Master. And please: Do not interrupt a guitar solo. The concert was in London "Earls Court" with about 15000 visitors.

[@yelnikigwawa1845]

Respectfully, that IS what happened to Roger Waters. But it is NOT what happened to Pink, the ‘hero’ of “The Wall”.

[@richardthresh3587]

@yelnikigwawa1845 ... respectfully, I think you are mostly wrong. Try listening to the radio broadcast from 1979 where Rog talks through the whole album track-by-track and se if you still think that. The film came later and was subjected to a degree of artistic license to make it work better as a film - it is not the definitive source. The radio broadcast was archived and is easy to access if you care to.

[@richardmillard5498]

Hey guys what on earth are you doing interrupting a David Gilmour guitar solo. Especially this one voted probably the best live solo of all time. I think you need to listen to some more Floyd and please wear headphones to get the full effect. When you do, then come back to Comfortably Numb. Pink Floyd were probably the best live band in the World. The Pulse concerts watched by over 5million people worldwide were the best live music performances ever. But check out some albums as well. There is a reason why they are the 3rd highest album seller of all time. If you still don't like them, fair enough but Floyd played music. A lot of modern bands don't.

[@tomgettings7441]

You may not have felt the song but the 20,000 plus people at the Pink Floyd concert did, I know I was there.

I was at the Saturday night which was 22nd of October.. Thursday night 20th October was filmed PULSE! Effectively all 15 shows in October a resident record at Earl's Court is Democracy Now. The only difference was set list tweaked a little like Astronomy Domine started show & Hey You included on encore .. Effectively all shows regardless of where gets the epic show as I saw them outdoors in Rotterdam same tour & stunning.

[@yelnikigwawa1845]

Wow. Congratulations. You’re the first reactors I’ve ever seen that didn’t care for this performance. Other people have called it one of the greatest performances ever recorded…but you didn’t care for it. Okay. You’re being honest~Fair enough. IMHO, you’re victims of the musical desert in which you grew up. Modern music is programmed, not composed. No musical talent is required today AT ALL to “write” music, to sing it, to program it on a machine, since Autotune makes every singer, every instrument sound perfect. Lyrics don’t matter now, it’s all about the beat. Today’s music is all you know, and today’s music is pretty thin compared to what came before. Hey, I’m being honest, too.

[@ordinaryvalley]

give these kids a break

[@flubblert]

The lead singer IS the guitarist!! One of the most acclaimed guitarists on Earth... David Gilmour. Not all Rock is fast and crazy. Some rock bands actually have something to say. Pink Floyd is one of them. This is progressive rock. And this song is iconic in the genre. You're young and confused. Maybe check back in 10 years or so. But if the pace of a song is your bottom line, you just might want to move on completely from these guys.

[@Randal-td6py]

I was in that crowd. Please use headphones with pink Floyd & NEVER pause a David Gilmour guitar solo.

[@davidshort2313]

David Gilmour is the lead singer and the guitarist this is considered by many as one of the best live solos ever. Pink floyd are one of the most influential bands who started in 1967 this concert was in 1994 so this band have lasted a long long time.

[@russmaddock614]

Go away and come back in about 20 years when you may understand music You also broke the golden rule

[@michaelgrantham125]

Guys. You dont realise it yet. But to be exposed to Pink Floyd at your age is a blessing. At some stage of your life this will be your favourite song. When you asked if you were missing something. Your audience said a big "Yes lads". Pink Floyd are DIFFERENT. Its not about anything youre told. Its about what you experience. David is the greatest guitarist in history. Roger is the greatest poet. And the "lead singer" Richard Wright RIP an electronic musical genius. Its all good guys. You seem to know what you have to do. We all saw that glimmer of a light globe go off in your heads. Your enlightenment has begun. ICE-T with Bodycount do a version. For that to happen is a miracle. This music is sacred.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

Pink Floyd is NOT a singles kind of band. They were a concept band. Listening to the work in it's entirety, reading the lyric sheet would likely help as well. They were renowned for live performance--light years ahead of any other band. This tour--the lighting and staging (alone) cost 25 million--in 1994 dollars. They were not rock stars--they were musicians. They wanted the audience to experience the music. You could do an entire series on their catalogue. BTW, this is considered the best guitar solo in rock.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

This was in 1994, btw. 2009 was when they "re-mastered" it. The entire Pulse show was amazing. Pink Floyd was formed in England in 1965. After Syd Barrett left, David Gilmour took his place and has been in the band ever since. He is the one singing and playing lead guitar in this video. To see them when they were young, watch "Echoes, live at Pompeii, 1971." In the future, PLEASE don't interrupt David's guitar solos!

[@AmandaBurns-k3l]

One of the best concerts I’ve seen in my lifetime. Born in 1970, these guys were a staple of my college years. Trippy

Pink Floyd.... headphones! We would put a Pink Floyd album on a turntable and listen to the whole thing without stopping... We went on the journey.

Rule #1 DON'T STOP A SONG DURING A SOLO! REview this song again once you got some living under your belt, Not every song is fast or slow. The music and pace of the song matches the lyrical content perfectly. Songs evoke different moods by key, tempo, and execution, Variety is the spice of life. Don't just like one type of song. Expand your sonic syllabus. David Gilmour is the guitarist. My favorite. I have seen Pink Floyd several times since 1975. Since that time, I have seen and played with 100s of guitarists and bands and still, David is the only who has made me shed a tear with his playing.

welcome to pink floyd he whole pulse concert is considered to be the best live show ever suggestions from pulse , great gig in the sky , high hopes, one of these days , and the final number using over 1 million dollars of lighting hold onto your seat run like hell and of coarse comfortably numb is David Gilmore the main man is still performing world wide to sell out crowds at 78 yo The pulse concerts featured even more special effects than the previous tour, including two custom designed airships.[2] Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. All in all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people and an initial investment of US$4 million plus US$25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to over 5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average audience of 45,000

You guys are young, and you're not getting the same experience of Pink Floyd that those of us around at the time did. And an experience is absolutely what they are. There were certain things that aren't 100% necessary but highly enhance the experience. A good start is with headphones.

[@murraytomlinson6562]

I take it that this is your first experience with Pink Floyd. This particular video is from a concert that has become iconic. Comfortably Numb is one of those songs that many fans feel, makes that concert complete. The solo by David Gilmour here has to be one of the best ever recorded live. Pink Floyd was unique. Other rock bands that were around back then, like Led Zeppelin, had styles that were a bit different. Rock music had many facets. Pink Floyd's music and lyrics dealt with human emotions and life experiences. Their albums were meant to be heard all the way through, without interruption. They told a sort of story. If you get a chance to hear an album like Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish, I think you'll understand what I mean. Put on headphones, dim the lights, sit back and close your eyes, and really listen. With your ears, and with your spirit.

As if the music they listen to and enjoy is not real music. I myself might agree with you that I don't personally like it, but think of the generation that Pink Floyd is out of. Alongside The Beatles and The Stones at that time. Their parents didn't consider their music "real music" either. So let's just not go down the same path as our own parents and judge new stuff the same way our own parents judged OUR new stuff. That is fundamentally hypocritical, is my point. And no attack meant on you personally.

@@Ryszze They were saying they didn’t like how slow Comfortably Numb was. They were bored with it. They may feel differently when they’re older. Not condescending. I’m 64…My parents liked “our” music. They’re one year from 90. No attack on you personally.

[@Ryszze]

@@danastordalen623 I think we're talking somewhat past each other here. Maybe. And you maybe right that they will feel differently when they're older. And by that logic I - who grew up with this masterpiece of a song - might end up hating it when I grow even older than I already am. I find that highly unlikely, but you're right. Maybe that can still happen. My main argument with you, in all respect, was the use of the term "real music" and "yet". As if age is a meter for qualifying to know "real music", whatever that means. Pink Floyd wrote a lot of their best stuff when they were half my and a third your age. So who are we to come and say to those young Pinky Floydies that those kids know too little about "real music" because of their age? I love Pink Floyd and I can tell that we both share that passion ❤ I also love Kris Kristofferson, Nick Cave, Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine, Tupac, Iron Maiden, NWA, Motörhead, Ice Cube, Johnny Cash, Johann Sebastian Bach, AC/DC and Jospeh Haydn. My appreciation for some of them has grown with time, for sure. But what feels condescending to me is the sentiment of "one day you will understand. You're just a kid". As if it is a universal "truth" or fact that everyone will end up liking Pink Floyd once they just "grow up". That's how I took your message, and is the sentiment I disagree with (to the extent that that was what you meant to say, of course). Because I have listened to J-Lo on the radio involuntarily for 25 years, and I still don't get it 😄 Sorry for this long rant! Peace ✌🏼

Some I liked, some I didn’t. In the comments on the various channels, the words “real music” are used, frequently. Conversely, some younger people call classic rock, country, classical, etc. “old people” music. The word “yet” refers to this point in time. If this offends you I can’t tell you differently.

There albums are meant to be listened to completely, not picking a song here and there. This song was meant to show the state of mind of the main character at this point in The Wall, the album this song came from. Start with listening to The Dark Side of the Moon then Wish You Were Here followed by Animals. After those amazing albums came The Wall.

[@adrid74]

It’s good to see you react honestly. Pink Floyd is a psychedelic band. Most of the people in that audience are high on something. Their music is unique and transports the listener to another space. I’m seeing that you are getting a lot of live performances as your first viewings of many bands, and while those are cool, back in the day, musicians often improvised and played their songs a bit differently every time they performed live… so they’ll vary compared to what they did in the recording studio that got them on the air initially. To give these bands’ music the best shot, I honestly recommend looking up their MTV videos (like you did for the BeeGee’s “Staying Alive”). That’s the baseline. Then at the live concerts the variations won’t be as off putting to your ears because you’ll know the songs. Hopefully that makes sense. This was not Pink Floyd’s best performance of this song. So fun to watch you two encounter all these legends for the first time!

The guy on the keyboard is like the tour manager and they get a doctor in there trying to get through to him and then they give him a shotwhen they say “just a little pin prick might make you feel a little sick” to try to give him energy to go out and do the performance … the lead singer and guitar player sings in the voice of Pink Floyd talking about being numb….and then when that goes into the long lead guitar section that’s the actual performance

First found your channel with Queen Live Aid. Excellent choice. But then I had to look for Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd tells stories with their music. Once you dive deeper into their music the feeling of the song makes a lot more since. It's a bitter-sweet understanding that this song is second to last at the Pulse concert. After reading some of the other comments that others left; I do hope, as you both continue your journey into Pink Floyd, that you do realize there are some rules to listening to Pink Floyd. And those are... 1. HEADPHONES!!! No spoilers, but there are some crazy things that they do with sound that you will miss using only standard speakers. No joke. 2. NEVER pause a David Gilmore solo. It's just wrong and if you let the man play your ears, heart, and soul will thank you. 3. Listen to the full albums before you listen to individual song. And you definitely need to listen to the albums before you watch anything from the Pulse concert. It's just that, at least in my opinion, the 1994 Pink Floyd Pulse Concert is one of the most amazing shows ever put on, period. You don't need to listen to all their albums in order to appreciate the Pulse concert. All you really need is their stories, their conceptual works, focus on their most thematic albums. Start with - 1. The Dark Side of the Moon 2. Wish You Were Here 3. Animals 4. The Wall 5. The Final Cut 6. The Dark Side of the Moon again. 7. Then watch the full Pulse concert. You can watch the full show on You Tube and it will blow your minds. I look forward to your future post and your journey into Pink Foyd.

I'm a new viewer to the channel and i love seeing yiur reactions! If you like this may i suggest looking up "goodbye blue sky" by link Floyd as well? ❤️

[@hihoktf]

I seriously doubt they'd like Goodbye Blue Sky (which I call the most hauntingly beautiful song ever). Their words about what they just witnessed.. "this song wasn't written well."

[@mikewalker5101]

This song requires headphones and blindfolds, one of the best guitar solos ever, a little wisdom from a 55 yr old long hair rocker 🤟👍

[@Beerglass1980]

Floyd's music is to seat back and enjoy the trip.

[@davidswearingen9652]

Pink Floyd is one of the greatest bands ever. You need to sit back and relax and let them take you away.

[@leaholifield8052]

Btw, the lead singer IS the guitarist, David Gilmore.

[@kljindiana5551]

David Gilmore is the singer and the gutarist

[@TootUncommon]

Yeah, you missed something. You don't just listen to Pink Floyd music, you experience it. You don't dance to it, you feel it. Try some more, there's lots, and plenty of that (world famous) guitar you like. Re-read your description and take it easy. Your music reaction videos are fun and I hope you continue.

[@jernejulcar8325]

Nah guys... you messed this one up. You need to learn to have patience. Jesus... And still talking while the song is already 10 seconds in is just crazy.

[@jeffmonson8828]

Pay attention to the lyrics and use headphones ffs Pink floyd is not for simple minds

[@hopcat500]

You don’t understand what you are listening to. Relax . Pink Floyd songs take you on a journey so don’t overthink it. Songs start out slowly and build to a climax. Watch the visual effects and listen to!

[@abx131]

You guys need to understand Pink Floyd is a vibe experience and their albums are meant to be played beginning to end in order with headphones. They each tell a story and set the mood. Only when you've experienced that will you get it. Also NEVER INTERUPT A GUITAR SOLO, especially when you're listening to one of the GOAT. Try Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon and you will forever be changed. The album was on the charts for almost 14 years.

Watch The Movie The Wall Guys. 🙌

[@lizetteolsen3218]

That is a poor intro versus the album. I think they think talking throughout the video is the etiquette. Learning curve.

[@angelagraves865]

Welcome to Pink Floyd!! 💗💗Quite possibly the greatest band that's ever been. I hope you keep listening. You really can't go wrong with anything from the albums Meddle on through to The Division Bell. Don't let the long ones dissuade you, they all leave you wanting more. For a representative selection of their music to start with, give these songs a listen: Hey You, Have a Cigar, Wish You Were Here, Time, Money, and High Hopes. 🤘🏽🎸🖖🏽 Edit: A lot of PF's songs are in that slow pocket, but it's not about speed. Give the song Sheep a listen, it's hard as a mf. David Gilmour doesn't play fast because he doesn't need to. He can bring you to tears with a single note. Pink Floyd is highly emotioal and cerebral music that you just have to surrender to. 💗

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Uee headphones for a retry.

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

David Gilmour is a guitar master. The more you listen to Pink Floyd, you will appreciate how great their music is , be patient with their music . If you want more guitar ( heavy rock) check out shredder Nita Strauss songs Dead Inside and The Wolf You Feed. You will not be disappointed she’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Pink Floyd is not about instant gratification they spend time putting you into the right place mentally for each part that follows the lead guitarist is also the vocalist and this concert was from 1994 it was at Earls Court London and was there for 14 night with approx 20,000 audience each night. Fun facts:- to power their gear it took 233,000 watts of power, the had three complete stage setups one in use, one on being de rigged from previous venue, and one being rigged at next venue …and that cost $ 98,000,000 Gilmour and Mason both sold their personal jets to help fund it and when the lighting techies asked is there a lighting budget? The reply from Pink Floyd was …yes!
