[@johnwoodberry3707]

That solo man absolutely dripping with emotion! It literally brings a tear to my eye

[@yesorlando05]

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend at the time and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.

Great reaction! I truly respected you being honest with me when I first requested it as far as you having seen it before but after you said it had been over 20 years I had a feeling we would get a great reaction and WE DID! It was so cool seeing how much you appreciated the production but also seeing your expression listening to the solo. Definitely what I was hoping for when I requested it! Thank you!!

[@gohigheroutdoors3105]

Thanks!

[@thepragmatic6383]

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, four trailers equipped with huge industrial generators to provide enough electricity for the show, and an initial investment of US $ 4 million plus US $ 25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average 45,000 audience.

[@Womberto]

Possibly the best live performance of any song ever.

[@mikeh6286]

Thanks David. This one I could not resist watching. You'd think the solo would be planned because it's so perfect, but he does seem to change it every show a little bit. What a treat for this audience.

[@haroldjacobs3679]

Have not watched reaction yet, about to now.....want to say that even though you have heard this song before, when you watch this live version from Pulse, I can say 100% that it will be as if you are experiencing this song for the first time. Very psyched to see this reaction and thank you for doing it, much appreciated.(Also does not matter if you saw it 20 years ago it will be awesome)

[@vincentlurie3990]

My favorite band of all time.. I am an old fella and saw them in 1978, I was 16. It was the World Series of Rock Cleveland Ohio, Animals Tour, 80,000 people. Their production then was insane. But most off all it was the sound that blew my mind. It was in a double decker stadium with multiple towers of speakers everywhere. Music has always marked times in my life. 16 and I thought I was unbreakable and would live forever, listening to a show I thought would never end. One reason I love your reviews is your love of the music comes through. Thank you for this review..!

[@briantillman2812]

“Top notch production. Let’s keep going, let’s see where this goes.” Oh boy….

[@grahamkey8496]

You really need to watch this video several times to gain a full appreciation of the artistry involved. The first time you're dazzled by the light show. The second time you realise how Gilmour's playing is reaching new heights and twists. The third time you find yourself admiring how the rest of the band are supporting the song, keeping the energy going all the way through. I've come to regard anything 9.1 and above from your good self as being practically a 10 anyway!

[@kswwhodat]

Was lucky enough to see this live in '92 NOLA Superdome, Division Bell tour. Got my first contact buzz hearing this, lol. Was life changing to say the least as I was 14 yrs old. The whole week prior, there was a Pink Pig Blimp flying over the city. TOOL and NIN are the closest I've come to PF live.

I saw it in 94 Edmonton Alberta, it set the bar so high that it almost wrecked other concerts for me afterwards.

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Yep, same here. For many years after seeing this concert 4 times, other shows were... mmmeh, yeah, nice, but.... The DSOT tour did pretty much the same. I remember going to Eric Clapton after seeing DSOT. He had a glitterball, too. The size of a beach ball. And a cute little round screen with wrinkles in it. I couldn't help but snigger a bit. The music was great, though.

[@donaldriddle230]

You told me you had already seen this and that was fine. In glad you are reacting to it anyway.

[@mikeclare1625]

Love the fact that Pearl Jams cover of this song got exactly the same score despite it not having no where near the production values, no lasers or fancy stuff, just a band doing what they do!

[@marketingTUNEUP]

Agree with all you said, but I do think this was one of Gilmores best set up off the pedal board for Guitar TONE and Effects TONE. The Guitar was Biting and it projected forward with an aggression in some parts I did not hear as pronounced in Delicate, but its been a while reviewed. I was at both shows. (One nite in the rain outdoors Oakland - talk about an experience). Both awesome and Delicate I loved for more focus on Division Bell and Momentary Lapse which makes sense given timeline 87, but Pulse is the one concert Id Suggest for newbies and reactions imo. The Lighting was shockingly awesome as was the fidelity. Stand Outs - CN, Sorrow, RUN, Brick Wall for production. Only gap I had with Pulse was lack of a few more Momentary Lapse LP tunes (Machine 1, Terminal Frost, One Slip) especially seeing how many reactions liked Sorrow. I'd swap these with 2-3 off pulse.

[@leonarae8496]

Every other reactor I’ve seen doing this song have been able to do the whole thing with minimal pauses and no problems from KZbin.

[@dorothybaxter4550]

I completely agree with you i hate it when they stop the video my favourite reactor's are vin and sori they barely stop th video if ever when they stop it is as anoying as the dam KZbin fucking ADS I hate them

[@rmyikzelf5604]

On the production... this show also featured lighting over the audience in indoor venues, a bed flying over the audience crashing into the stage (or was that DSOT?) , a pre-show airplane flyover in open roof venues (if allowed by local regulations), two giant inflatable pigs' heads on top of the two main speaker towers and 300 speakers providing quadraphonic sound.

[@ulrichhaepp2657]

Those spinning mirrors are spinning speakers for some kind of rotating delay or echo. They are called Lesley cabinets. They were some new sound effects in the late 60s and 70, later forgotten .

[@mehere4684]

Thanks for doing this video!!! Outstanding performance :)

[@jimangela4589]

Marc Brickman did the lighting. There were three separate stage setups while this toured the United States, Mexico, Canada and Europe in 1994. While one was being taken down and moved, one was being assembled at the next venue and the third for that night's performance. Looking at the schedule it looks like there was at least 1 off day between performances unless there were repeat performances at the same venue. The only place I can think to have improved the performance would be to include a live orchestra.

[@achprn1256]

The genius behind light show was Mr. Marc Brickman. He was later asked by Mr. Steven Spielberg to be light consultant and stage the light show for a scene (Flesh Fair) in A.I. (Artificial Intelligence 2001 movie) Cannot remember who hired him and as directions about the job said: "See what you can do ..."

[@adamflint7049]

If anyone has heard this song and guitar solo and it hasn't had an impact on you, I do not want to know you! HA just simply amazing!

[@honeybadger713]

I made a delivery to Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech back I believe it was 1994 when this tour took place ( not this exact concert filmed here ) and I was delivering to an area backstage looking at the stage in person it was a massive I think it took them two or three days if I remember them talking right ? And on video really don’t do it justice I have friends that went to this concert and they were telling me about it and when they seen this, however this was 30 years ago that lighting rig to be that good then 30 years ago was phenomenal and it is still impressive today.😎

This proves the point ,that you don't just listen to PF but you experience them. And not bad production for 25+ years ago.David Gilmour is simply the best singer/guitarist combo period.who plugs his instrument into your soul. You should check out the closer to this show as epic as ever! Run Like Hell. also Sorrow from here will move you!! Enjoyed your reaction.

[@jacobpaulson23]

More songs from this show! Run Like Hell, Coming Back to Life, Sorrow, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, One Of These Days etc. All fantastic and a few of them have incredible light shows!

[@brandonbailey8318]

The layout of the solo on delicate sound is definitely my favorite version.

[@johnwoodberry3707]

A big favourite of mine

[@victorjba]

I tell you it was a 10 XDDDDD You have to see the complete concert, the production is incredible in all the songs. And yes, there was a plane crashing and giant pigs. I saw a concert of that tour, and sometimes after I saw a Batman movie, that one with Jim Carrey, sorry, I don't remember the title. In that movie there was an scene of a party, and I thought "I've seen these lightning before". And in the final scenes, with Batman fighting with E-Nigma... there was 100% Pink Floyd lightning, probably the people who made the film lightning was the same who made the Pink Floyd show.

[@km123m8]

My friends and I were in the nosebleeds at Valberbilt football stadium in 1994. Absolutely amazing show and this was a show stopper. To this day the best show I ever saw because of my favorite guitarist ever.

[@donaldriddle230]

There are actually two different drumsets and two drummers on stage. One drum set has the kicks upside down and one top!

[@isabelledrevet5913]

I saw that concert in Montpellier in France, the best concert ever... First, Pink Floyd, of course. But that was a real show, you're in a dream from the beginning to the end. And the best thing : the sound. They had found the best sound engeneers, that was magic for ears. Very nice reaction, thanks. Love from France 🇫🇷😘

[@CarlosSierralta]

Comparing this tune vs Pearl Jam’s covers, I can just enjoy the quantity of sonic layers. It’s NUTS! Keyboards, maybe synths, voices and chorists, even the little triangle (it was a triangle), it’s mad, man. Keeping all said in mind, I think that Pearl Jam’s work is a very Fairy homnage to the original one. Even Gilmour’s solo is well free-performed by Mike And I agree, Top Notch in its maximum

[@jonathanlindsey463]

they r not mirrors.. they r speakers, they spray sound in different directions and if u r in the crowd it creates a psychedellic sound.. it is amazing to hear

Guy Pratt Bass on this was spiritual the lows he got and TONE. Guy Pratt Icehouse. He already left the band by the time Icehouse 40 years live concert came to be, but if you like Pulse, check out Icehouse KZbin 40 years Live - full concert. Special tunes (Icehouse, No promises, Kingdom, Man of Colors, Great Southern Land). Offers the same fidelity of Pulse. A very special production.

[@Ghost-dj9kn]

The honesty is much appreciated :-)

[@cadesfamilytime1675]

Production was epic

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Those spinning mirrors are NOT a waste of space on stage and not just a cool effect. They are, in fact, Lesley speakers used by Gilmour.

[@jkkansasband7056]

My Favorite all-time Pink Floyd song and the Pulse version is great but David, to be honest, I need to see Gilmour playing. You need to watch the best Live video for this song from when they played Gdansk. Theeee best 4 minute solo version ever. There's even a video out there of just the ending solo. Not only was the solo actually better but more focus on Gilmour throughout. Am I biased toward Gilmour. Yes. No apologies. My favorite guitarist ever. He plays from the soul.

[@marke8323]

I saw this Tour, they actually had 3 complete Stages (it took 3 days to assemble and 2 days to dismantle) and they just went from city to city...

[@nagaslrac]

In case nobody has mentioned it yet, the spinning things are Leslie speakers.

[@psych0CS2]

Yup. Used alot by floyd. Robert plant uses them extensively on "No Quarter"

[@NerdChannelBrasil]

The solo in this song is probably the most difficult to replicate as it is almost entirely immersed in feeling, and who could understand more of the feeling the song plays than the composer himself?

[@bighousegroove]

I've never been a fan of the verse part of this performance (Roger's part), which has like four people singing in harmony. It loses something there for me, the "doctor" part. And the solo, long regarded as Gilmour's best performance, also over the years sounds a little too clean for me. And how much I loved the visuals seeing this live, the disco ball, the lotus flower thing opening up, it hasn't aged as well for me as I would have thought. His performance of this solo in Pompeii in 2016 on the other hand, I hope you give that one a watch/listen. It hits different. The tone, the added wisdom and more gravelly voice and all of it, that has become the definitive version for me.

[@mikellanas1207]

I am surprised that Comfortably Numb is as high as it is. Not to say it's a bad song but Pink Floyd have some truly masterpieces of songs. Sheep, Welcome to Machine, Don't Play With That Axe Eugene, Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Great reaction to quite possibly the most spectacular live performance concert I've seen (on video, anyway, although I did see Gilmour in concert in 2016). If you want even more amazing production from this same show, I suggest reacting to the Pulse version of 'Run Like Hell' (specifically, the restored and re-edited version for maximum effect).

[@davidputterman2719]

Fun fact: When Floyd was touring (and I saw the Division Bell tour) they had (2) exact stage set-ups including the iconic screen in the background which tilts forward during this song. When Floyd was playing, the second stage set-up was already on the move to be set up at the next venue. Each of their 2 stage sets cost 5 million dollars. By the way, this was the best concert that I had ever seen in my lifetime.

Three, actually. One in use, one being built up at the next venue, one being disassembled on the previous venue.

You should listen to Comfortably Numb done by Van Morrison and Roger Waters....amazing. On KZbin, it's cut over The Sopranos with Chris and Tony for some reason, maybe it was used in the series. It's sooooo good.

[@psych0CS2]

Pink floyd have always hade some of the best production value out there. I just went to see roger waters in albany a few days ago and it's not as grand as this, but it's also not as large a venue as this But the amount of money put into the whole set is unbelievable. Lights everywhere, incredible set pieces for certain songs, especially In The Flesh. Lazer lights that cover the entire stage, and to top it all off, a giant 20 foot tall, remote controlled, inflatable floating pig that a guy from his crew flies around for the second half.

I remember paying 50 bucks to watch this show live on pay per view. We smoked up my parents garage and came in and watched it and had it going through a great sound system too but the tv was a 27 inch lol. My favorite guitar solo of all time by my favorite guitarist of all time and that won't ever change. I probably never would've played an instrument if it wasn't for David Gilmour. The next and last song is run like hell and they had every thing on the stage for that one. Absolutely crazy. The only better live version for me was the live 8 version where they played it with Roger. Can't lie, I actually shed some tears. He used the black strat and everything. Still in disbelief he sold it but it sold for 4 MILLION DOLLARS! Crazy. Oh yeah, am i still in the que dude? Lol feel like it's been a year

Late to this one too (binging your PF reactions)...frankly, as monumental as the outro solo is, you should react to "Sorrow" from the same tour.

Decent cover version, but I prefer the original Pearl Jam 😜

[@georgekenny2294]

I absolutely did not like this version. Now I grew up on Floyd. But they fell completely apart. They were not even talking to one another by the time the last album came out. Now we do have David's guitar in this, but just about nothing else lives up to the original. It's too darn slow. It's NOT exciting. This is like a "tribute" band, with none of the "bite" it should have. I would NEVER have liked this as a young pup if this were the version. Have a good day David Heretic.

[@lenni-hazels]

Ah, a purist. I think this version is magnificent. Actually never noticed it's slower but you're definitely right, it is. But they didn't just not talk anymore, they moved on without Waters, who's always been the stubborn one in the band. As much as I love what he brought to PF I think this is pretty acccurate, even though there's always two sides to the story on how exactly they fell apart. The studio version is nice but feels a bit too short with the fade out. This is just one of the many reasons I appreciate this version a lot, it shines a light on one of the best guitar solos in history on one of the best Floyd songs period.

[@georgekenny2294]

@@lenni-hazels I've got no problem with people liking this version. That would be silly! :) I just think it's trying to be too "beautiful", and looses some of the "edge" of the situation that it is portraying. As for Waters, I absolutely HATE a lot of his "expressed thoughts" on the world (trying to keep it simple), but they NEEDED him. When they broke up, I was a "Gilmore" guy, and my very best friend was a "Waters" guy. We were roommates at the time, and every morning he would put on that "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" album before breakfast. When PFs first album came out without Waters I would turn it on, and he hated it. So, there we were, fighting it out through music we would play. We never had cross words or anything, we did our fighting using the turntable! So, even with me being a "Gilmore" guy, I just can't like this version as much. Best wishes to ya!

[@JAYZIGGY5]

I just want to chime in here and say that Roger quit the band expecting them to fold not carry on without him. I love his raw vocals and his lyrics (mostly his Floyd stuff not so much his solo stuff) but he is just a huge pain in the ass to be perfectly honest. He is fighting with David Gilmour again just about a week ago about him not being able to post his stuff on the Pink Floyd website. Uhh, with all due respect, you're not in the band sir. Haven't been since 85. Pink Floyd is no more anyway because Rick died. He's just a pain in the ass.

@@JAYZIGGY5 Wow. I did not know about the recent stuff. Yes, he left. He's out. My roommate used to say that it's not even PF anymore without Rodger. I would hold up the new album and read it to him "Pink Floyd, that's what it says right here on the title." Now that brings back memories! I agree with your observation that he's a pain. Good luck!

@@georgekenny2294 Yup! Pink Floyd! It says it right there lol. I agree it was never the same without him but he chose to leave, and they chose to keep playing. Sorry Roger. He should've asked to come back. But yes he released a video where he looks like a nutcase crazy guy saying "David Gilmour banned me from the official Pink Floyd website". 🤔
