NEW FAVORITE BAND??? Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away (Live) | Reaction

[@muddysouth55]

When she hits that note with the solo…… biblical level goosebumps Every. Single. Time.

And she's hot! In my opinion

[@techierick]

Check out Great gig in the sky from the same concert. All three of them show out.

[@artbagley1406]

Yes, the absolute BEAUTY of the LADIES -- particularly their VOICES!!! LFR, have you checked out Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky"? Originally on "The Dark Side of the Moon" album (studio version) as well as the Pulse concert (live version). BOTH ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE FEMALE VOCALISTS' performances: Clare Torry the soloist on "Dark Side" studio version and a trio of wonderful ladies -- Sam Brown sings 1st, next is Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontaine is 3rd -- perform in the Pulse live version.

[@youraccount7003]

Absolutely. Such an under rated song and performance. The backing singers bring so much to this concert. I was there and it was the best concert ever.

[@robhansen6370]

One of the best lines I ever heard was: "Some people wish for a guitar for Christmas, Guitars wish for David Gilmour."

[@WardDorrity]

It's been said that God invented the guitar, and that David Gilmour taught Him to play it

[@elaine8013]

In my humble opinion, this is one of their best. They lyrics really hit deep and make us take a closer look at ourselves. I've asked my kids that this song be played at my funeral.

[@jeanluke39]

floyd ... are just something else ..... am sure they used to say the same thing ''few ( MANY ) years '' ago when they heard Mozzart , Beethoven ' Wagner etc etc ... music behond it's time ......... floyd are part of these iconics musics legends

Roger Waters had nothing to do with this song but I think he has to admit it was a great song!

Its strange that you're not prepared to feel when you hear Floyd for the first time..... and then you feel EVERYTHING

Adding to your comment, Pink Floyd aren't just on another level, Pink Floyd is on the top level. 😎🏍💨👍

[@AliasMark69]

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS

This is another reason I come to these reaction channels to read comments like this! Awesome story, well written. I missed my one chance to see them. Roger is coming close soon, but David is the one I would choose to see beings there split up with no chance of reuniting. Again awesome story! Rock on.

[@dianesaienni5466]

What a great story and memory! Good for you and keep thanking your wife!

[@poiema1006]

This is my favorite Pink Floyd song ever. Possibly my fav song ever. The lyrics are so powerful and relevant. It never fails to remind me to be part of the change, not the turning away. It is one of the greatest songs ever.

[@neillenet291]

Pink Floyd doesn't create music, they create audible beauty.

The Three Greatest Live Guitar Solos.... Pink Floyd-David Gilmour - "Comfortably Numb" - "Sorrow" from the 1994 Pulse Tour... And This "On The Turning Away" 1987 "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" Tour...... I saw them all several times.

[@victorjohnson2413]

I concur, but u have to add "Keep Talking" 😁

[@TranceAddict1989]

My top 3 too. In that order.

[@Summon256]

This is pretty much a consensus at this point…i would also personally add Run Like Hell, because this was an epic closing for the best live performances if not ever than surely in PF’s personal careers! Very memorable moment as well…

Try Mark Knopfler.... pretty sure you'll change your mind

[@steveboyes3367]

Sorrow. Keep Talking, both live. Best live performers ever. Don’t see them up there “look at me and how great I am” like a lot of performers do. Shout out to Nick on drums, he is on fire on this one.

@ 6:12 when the guitarist went wild, I just about choked in laughter when you said “OK Purple Rain”. -genx’er

[@Bear78420]

You should really read the lyrics to this. It’s one of their best, lyrically, imo. Talking about people turning away from the horrors of the world because it’s happening to someone else or somewhere else. No more turning away from the coldness inside. Very deep and still very true today.

[@michele-33]

I agree, amazing song - but he really should have lyrics up for every song. Peace 🕯️

These old guys did one thing that young artist don't: Rehearse. You don't need auto tune when you practice. You don't need a machine to play the instrument when you practice. You don't need a producer to make it better in post recording, when you practice. Music is work. It's not all fame and adulation.

[@lostagain6518]

Some call it the 10 thousand hour rule. Practice Practice Practice, then maybe.

Was very fortunate to see Pink at Pittsburghs, Three Rivers stadium in 94 or 96 (can’t remember what year) for the Division Bell tour!! One of the best shows I’ve been too!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@DaveInNH]

I saw Pink Floyd in Mannheim, West Germany, in 1988 (Momentary Lapse of Reason tour). It was incredible. The light show was out of this world, and, of course, the music was beyond any other artist I've seen live.

[@BrentRousey]

[@mikenastasi8927]

I saw Pink Floyd live at Giants Stadium in 1994 -- probably the best concert I've seen

Clemson, SC for me & *definitely* the best concert I’ve ever seen. 🔥🎶🔥

[@jimjames8660]

The night I was there was the 25th anniversary of the 1969 Moon Landing, so they played Dark Side Of The Moon all the way through. I was up high, right side of stage and it was unbelievable. And I had been to Nassau Coliseum , Yankee Stadium, and 2 Giants PF shows before that in 87 and again in 94....but DSOTM in it's entirety on a starry night was just great

[@romanjohnston]

I was mesmerized when I saw this live. The energy in the air was palpable.

[@fluxrider7027]

People walking out after a Pink Floyd concert *feel* different than people exiting other concerts. And different than they did walking in.

[@NycilSikiclas]

At 9:49 the backing vocalist Machan Taylor just perfectly nails it and gives any listener heavenly goosebumps. I am mesmerized by the beauty and voice of Rachel Fury but what Machan achieves here makes me forget the rest of the band altogether for a few seconds. Interestingly she has her own channel. By the way, I love how you smile as though you had won the lottery! Very nice and communicative.

[@thadcollom2100]

I attended the fourth 1987 show in Los Angeles at the Sports Arena, and you are correct in how they present their music, in that they seem to highlight different aspects of their songs, making them flow from beginning to end. Great reaction.

Delicate Sound of Thunder holds a special place in my heart, as it was my gateway into Pink Floyd, and to me, its one of the best live albuns ever made. Pulse is good, with amazing moments, but the way this was fllmed and put together is just perfect and flawless. Great reaction dude. Keep em coming

I saw this show in Cleveland at the old stadium. It rained like Hell the whole time and no one cared. A truly magical night.

Pink Floyd are "on a different stratosphere". You got that right, bro.

[@Godric_71]

It really warms my heart seeing young people experiencing, enjoying, and most of all, appreciating one of, if not the greatest bands in history. No auto-tune. Just pure perfection.

[@interactiveillusionist]

ZEPPELIN IS REMARKABLE in their own right and are genuine ROCKERS, FLOYD however I have always seen them as not rockers, BUT AS MODERN CLASSICAL COMPOSERS. Their music has the slow soft vibe or classical music and the UPBEAT Hard feeling of the classical music that then goes back soft. PINK FLOYD IS JUST ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL than MOST BANDS, ELO is also such a band.

[@gerryweed7697]

best band of all times 😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@marlakay]

High hopes and learning to fly are beautiful as well 😊

[@deborahstrickland9845]

I understand your feelings about Led Zeppelin. They’re pretty much my 2nd favorite band. Hard to even compare them with Pink Floyd because they’re so different. And then there’s Yes and ELP, two other incredible bands that deserve a deep dive into their early years (Live concerts in the 70s.)

[@timmholl9238]

You have excellent taste in rock.

[@Ed9870]

This closed out the first set when I saw them at Capital Centre in October of 87, and then again at RFK in June of 88. They do these kind of numbers better than anyone. Hits deep.

Totally with you on the backing singers - when Machan screams that note it sends a shiver up my spine, every time.

[@Wyatt-f5b]

Thid big encredible sound, thats whats addictive. Where else can you play your music Outside that concert hall? Nowhere! So you just want to keep playing show after show. Because when it ends. Youll never get to play so big and loud anywhere. You love the sound! And the people that come to listen. I liked playing in front of people but i loved playing for me and the chemistry of the band.more than anything else. I played for the love of playing . I didnt care if anybody showed up or not really.

This band was able to break out of the box that most musicians are stuck in, and show us a totally different kind of music. I am 71 yrs old, and have loved this band since the first note I heard in the back of an old 1966 "hippie" van. So glad I grew up with my favorite bands. Pink Floyd and my other favorites Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

If you get a chance to go see Brit Floyd you should go . We went to the Orpheum in Memphis a couple of weeks ago and saw them and it was awesome , the light show and sound was absolutely great . One thing that surprised me was seeing about 25 to 30 black women in one group , all wearing purple tee shirts , and aging from a teenager to a senior citizen there to see the show . All I could do was smile , it was a great night .

Thank you Van.. another great review of a band who is 2nd to none and a great song that encourages us all to care for the less fortunate.. to scream at the top of our lungs at those who would minimize the hardships they endure.. so that those in power hear our cries and theirs.. btw this is my favorite song from Momentary Lapse of Reason.. oh and Van.. keep on lovin Zep.. on their own merit.. a great iconic band.. Pink Floyd on theirs.. Rush.. CCR. The Doobie Brothers and so on and on.. No need for debates on who is better.. musicianship, voices, lyrics, arrangements showmanship.. so many great ones..Neil Peart and Bono both amazing.. Jimmy Page and David Gilmour. Both at a virtuoso level.. you get the point.. why must we pick a fav.. lol besides.. there is no debate.. Neil "The Professor" Peart is the absolute best ever.. .. and Pink Floyd or Rush are way different than Zep.. like comparing a VW bug to a Dodge Challenger..
