Pink Floyd isn't just music...they are an experience

You'll get told a million times that you need to check out the live 'Pulse' version instead, but I'm glad you checked out the studio version first.

[@balakrishnanlakshmanan9852]

You're abolsutely right

[@Attraktor63]

Agreed, but now is the perfect time to check out the Pulse live version. The extended 2nd solo is another level. But also watching David Gilmour bend those strings is a must see.

[@ianfortier6796]

Agreed. With Pink Floyd, always studio first, then live.

Yes absolutely must check out the live version... You will not be disappointed

PINK FLOYD albums should be listened to from start to finish to get the FULL IMPACT. 🤞✌️

[@Stars-and-Stripes-]

That is why TOOL and Pink Floyd are mentioned together , Their albums are like one long song and should be listened to in order from beginning to end and both bands have long songs and never radio friendly lengths of around 3 minutes or so and neither of these bands care about that..

[@skilz8098]

Yes, you don't listen to a Pink Floyd song, you listen to their entire Album!

[@MichaelNaydeck]

Absolutely. Pink Floyd, TOOL, Radiohead...they are all creating works of art that transcend a single track if given the chance

Very true, although, if you were gonna start with just one song, I'd say Comfortably Numb is a damn fine place to start.

Along with the line from their other song “Time” - “The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say..”

[@kjmorley]

That entire stanza , “When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look, but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone.“ resonates hard with me, more than any other Floyd lyric, including Time, which is pretty powerful in itself for an ageing boomer.

[@risailor20091]

"Back in MY day" ... We wore long hair, smoked alot of you know what, wore patched jeans and listened to David Gilmore's stratocaster. This is masterpiece and I am proud to have been a part of the generation that first heard them.

Yes. We had some really bad haircuts in the 1970s, but damn we had great music.

[@detroitlady7201]

​@makelikeatree1696 who got haircuts?!! Lol

[@Is.this.thing.on-]

David Gilmour is one of the best guitarists of all time, period. Pink Floyd were half a century ahead of their time, imo. Listen to Time or Money and remember that, when these songs were recorded, technology was such that looping sounds meant literally splicing bits of physical tape over and over, and some of the looping sounds in those songs took months to create. Musical genius comes close to describing Pink Floyd.

[@MsThebeMoon]

I don't think anyone's caught up to them yet. Have they done one bad track since Dark Side of the Moon?

[@bombastic165]

Dave Gilmour doesn’t plug the guitar into an amp, he plugs it into his soul.

Is that you Maynard? Sure looks like it!

@@MsThebeMoon Go back at least one album to Meddle.

[@kovie9162]

If you look at all the great musical artists, in any genre really, what is clear, to me at least, in their finest works, is that they put not only raw talent, polished skills and their heart and soul into it, but they also took the time to methodically and systematically craft their opus the way an architect designs a structure or an engineer designs an aircraft. There was a tremendous amount of just plain thinking that went on here with much editing and reediting along the way. I don't mean editing in terms of what sound and recording engineers do, but in terms of the music itself before it was ever recorded, on paper and inside the composers' heads, no different essentially from how classical and jazz composers crafted their works. Such works seems perfect and fully formed because a massive amount of work went into crafting them before a single track was even laid down. The composers kept looking at and challenging their composition and altering until it just felt right and nothing more needed to be changed. This was a fully conscious creation that only seems merely inspired to some.

[@stephencrowley3939]

Pink.Floyd will probably "touch your soul" more than any other artist.

[@budhalbr]

Those of us who grew up with Floyd completely understand your feelings about this song, especially the guitar solo. It's so emotive. People who can relate to this kind of music also understand that you don't just listen to Floyd. You experience it. Welcome to the machine.

[@geoffreysmommy]

Welcome to the Machine? That's another song he should listen to.😁

[@toddbintz9868]

Pink Floyd doesn’t come close because nobody comes close to their genius. This is the greatest band to ever grace the planet. Comfortably Numb is iconic and one of their best but you haven’t even begun to scratch the surface. Masters of the conceptual album, you should certainly listen to each album in its entirety during one sit down play through. Best albums: meddle, dark side of the moon, wish you were here and animals. So much brilliance in those four masterpieces

[@andrewklints1581]

Absolutely no argument from me. You nailed it. All amazing, groundbreaking albums.

[@c.michellesparks2925]

Absolutely agree but I would add Obscured by Clouds. It's a tie between Obscured and Meddle for me.

[@erikrom11]

Meddle is simply a spacetrip. Dark side of the moon is like being on drugs but completely sober at the same time, wish you were here is pure melancholic and a philosophical splash in your face, and animals is just pure shot of reality

I have listen to this song hundreds of times, but believing that you are hearing it for the first, I am able to experience it vicariously through your ears. So it’s like a different level of enjoyment. Like as if I am experiencing it both for first time and the thousand time.

Pink Floyd is like no other band. They have their own genre. Every song is different and every one is a journey.

I dont need to imagine, I lived it. I was born in 1960 and remember hearing DSOTM when it first came out. I was 13. I also was fortunate to see this particular song performed live at one of the very few Wall concerts in 1980 or 81 at the LA Sports Arena. Dream come true.

That 2nd solo is pure MAGIC

[@capetowntrikeman]

Same song live at the Pulse concert. It has what most regard as the greatest live guitar solo in music history. React to the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album...it will literally change your life. Always try to have the lyrics with you as they are always very deep and profound especially a song called TIME.

Brain damage. “You raise the blade; you make the change; you rearrange me till I’m sane…”

A few of my favorite lyrics: «And still this ceaseless murmuring / The babbling that I brook» (Yet Another Movie, Momentary Lapse of Reason); «Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us / To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side» (High Hopes, Division Bell); «"Forward", he cried from the rear / And the front rank died / The general sat and the lines on the map / Moved from side to side» (Us and Them, Dark Side of the Moon); «If you should go skating / On the thin ice of modern life / ... / Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice / Appears under your feet. / You slip out of your depth and out of your mind / With your fear flowing out behind you» (The Thin Ice, The Wall)

The Pulse live version of the song is pure drug. You can never imagine the experience and can never tell anyone this.

Your reaction to the high part of the guitar solo was and is exactly mine every time I hear it. The solo in the Pulse version is like 4 times as long and probably the best guitar solo ever performed!

I timed the solo once and it's a little over 5 minutes long.

[@robertwatson2823]

These guys will take you on a journey and will change you. Any song from their Pulse concert in 1994 is truly amazing!! Sorrow, High Hopes, Time and On the Turning Away from the 1988 Delicate Sound of Thunder concert are other great songs with killer solos by David Gilmour.

What's amazing is that the second comfortably numb solo we hear in the song was taken in the first place by David Gilmour. According to Pink Floyd's producer, Gilmour tried to improve but what prevailed was the first one, because it was perfect. Gilmour was literally living inside the music.

I love the live version of that one, sounds as good as studio and you get to see the band, but I know you rarely seem to do live videos.

Tool had 25 years of progressive rock/rock to draw from when they started up in 1990, including Pink Floyd who were formed in England in 1965. Pink Floyd created their own unique sound from precisely nothing, and amongst other great albums, in 1973 they made the fourth best-selling album of all time - Dark Side of the Moon. You can't really put the two bands on a par with each other.

So I guess music did not exist before Pink Floyd became really popular in 1973 (Dark side of the moon) and they didn't have other bands before them throughout the 60's and prior that influenced them in any way... So please tell me who TOOL is copying their sound from? Just because you are a huge fan of Pink Floyd and prefer them ,you revert to thinking and saying that Floyd was 100% original, Yet TOOL is not some how because Pink Floyd came before them? So there for TOOL could not be Just as original in their own right?...🤣 You are being silly, as all this is of your "opinion", Just as "I personally" put TOOL on PAR with Pink Floyd and in fact I personally put TOOL above Pink Floyd.. This is all a matter of personal opinion... One persons favorite bands of all time are not the favorites for others obviously...

The juxtaposition of “Is there anybody out there?” to one of the opening lines “Is there anybody in there?” is priceless.

[@jaytelesco5211]

First rate reaction! No-one brings out the tone of a strat like Gilmour- I've heard and listened to this song hundreds of times, maybe thousands of times, and I get chills every time, studio version is great but the live PULSE version is beyond EPIC!

[@signaturedean]

As great as the studio albums are, you really must see their live shows. PULSE is a great show to watch

[@DedMagik]

The thing that draws us Tool fans to Pink Floyd is that it takes you on a journey. They're both album bands, you'll get the most from listening strait through. But, I get that doesn't work as well for reaction videos.

I spent my early years listening to Pink Floyd, from the time i was about 12 years old. This music shaped my childhood.

[@MsThebeMoon]

Nothing like Pink Floyd - timeless. Back in the day - this was the soundtrack of my youth from teens through ... I love them more the older I get. Dark Side of the Moon will always be close to my heart. Smoking something or not - but smoking something takes you on a journey into their sound.

[@andretib4614]

Great choice, better choice would be the live version from Pulse concert. Even thought youve heard it now, the live version will totally blow your mind, all over again.

[@haroldjacobs1490]

Great top shelf reaction. Two recommendations if you want more: First the l994 Live version of the Pulse concert has this song and I know you're going to really like that. Then, second, the studio version of Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V)" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX)" is a musical masterpiece. Long tracks but you won't notice the time go by. Thanks again for doing this reaction

[@sevsimo]

thanks my friend really appreciate the comment and the recommendations i'll be sure to check them out!

[@lynnhoffman247]

@@sevsimoSo, so glad you did Parts I - V of Shine On You Crazy Diamond…eagerly awaiting Parts VI - IX !!🙌🏼

[@claudioferraro1652]

I'm a metalhead since 1982 but my favourite band Is Pink Floyd

[@kathycook5768]

Now you must experience Floyd live in concert !!!! Gillmor's solo is from another WORLD ! Trust me you will be in another universe .I am 73 they came out in the sixties . I have had the pleasure of seeing them 3 times live. UNFORGETABLE is an understatement .

[@dianebourne6297]

Feel bad for anyone one who missed them at the top of their game, and they were always at the top of their game.

[@robblaber6655]

STILL brings me to TEARS with its beauty !!! ❤❤❤

[@gcdumas2928]

Another great reaction... Every guitar wants David Gilmour for Christmas... One of the greatest guitar solos in music history... Please do yourself a favor, watch/react to the LIVE version of Comfortably Numb from PULSE tour. You will get a different feeling/vibe. When you add the visuals it's much more intense. David has a way of digging right down into your soul and pulling at your heart strings...

[@sevsimo]

thanks my friend! haha i'm sure they do going off what I just witnessed! will be sure to check it out thank you!

[@ClifHaley]

Pink Floyd captures the essence of a soul crying out for answers better than any other band.

[@phildigiovanni9687]

Delicate sounds of thunder.... a live record of amazing pink Floyd

[@williamosborne6866]

David Gilmour's guitar is like having an additional vocalist - he makes it speak. This is what emotions sound like.

[@devonvergiels5185]

Wow, it's times like these that I don't regret being old. I grew up with them and the best bands at the same time.

[@juletaurus]

Seeing them live was one of the greatest events of my life. You MUST listen to Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish. It is literally the meaning of life.

[@skwervin1]

Dave Gilmour takes your soul and flies it to heaven and beyond..... He uses his soul as an amp... His guitar sings to your soul and your soul replies.... This is the power of Floyd....

[@chrisyorks5460]

My father took me to 3 Floyd shows from age 8 - 18 and I loved every one of them, the Delacate sound of thunder + A bit of LSD was something I'll never forget

[@saraht903]

This is in my top 10 most favorite songs. Been a Pink Floyd Fan since like 1990. Love them.

[@sageandcandle]

My first guitar teacher played with a band called Jump Ship late 90's. Chris Kolling played this note for note with his eyes closed. Leaned his head back and blissed out as he played. I can still see his hands during the solo.

[@leeswhimsy]

YASSSSS! The ONLLY way to listen to this band is with eyes closed!!!!!!! I'm sure everyone told you to listen to the Pulse performance. I used to sit in my room with the lights out and play this full blast!!!!! (Ticked my Mom off pretty good) Pink Floyd will take you on a JOURNEY, and you don't have to be smokin'/high on anything for it to happen!

[@basdebruin2355]

Yes, I am 65. Yes, In my younger days I liked it a lot, like Yes, The Who, Small faces, Ten years after, Joplin etc etc etc. What struck me when I experienced ‘This is not a Drill (Waters) in Amsterdam with my youngest son (thank you for sharing this with me Nick) that Pink Floyd almost every day is present. All time greatest.
