PINK FLOYD - HIGH HOPES (1994) | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@Mark-om3cl]

This was actually my fave song when I was at this concert in 1994. The sound quality and the way it filled that hall was breathtaking. I don’t think I’ve ever heard or seen a better live performance from any band before or since. What added to the enjoyment of this concert was the fact there wasn’t 100’s of mobile bloody phones stuck in the air trying to record it. Cuz their wasn’t any. The good ole days.

[@Templar451]

Best concert I ever saw. I was on the left side about 6 rows up.

[@bheanrua]

I wanted to go to this concert so badly but I was very pregnant and unable to travel. It was a joy to watch the following year on TV, on the sofa with my baby daughter. I cried my eyes out, phenomenal concert. I can only imagine how magical it was in be there in person. This song still makes me very emotional

[@surendratanwar1870]

Yeah!

[@anXiaryMusic]

Now you’re one of music history’s very own „I was there, kids“ people. I’m only 38, the mother of my son was born a day after the second of these two recorded shows. She was introduced to all this by me. And brain damage/eclipse from this show is my favourite song (and version of it) of all time for many reasons, I’m also autistic, so it speaks to me. The calm sad anxious view on society, you know? I feel that, and then it lights up but keeps the little chance for more bad things to come. Best song(s) ever for me. No other song ever calms me, cheers me up and directly tells me literally that I’m okay this way, everything is in tune. But keep an eye open. Lol, I even have a carefully crafted, sometimes adjusted playlist of my fifty favourite pieces of music and it is always actually the top spot. 😂 Much love from Hamburg in Germany ❤

This song has a special place for myself and one friend in particular. His family had a cabin we used to parry at in the years following The Divisuon Bell. We would always be the last two up and we would crank this song to closeout the party almost every time we were there. We only see each other every few years now, but when we do, we see each other and the first thing we say was "the grass was greener".

[@diananussbaum3106]

"The endless River" in this song is also the title of the last Album The endless Ŕiver... I'm 66 years old and I have all Albums (Vinyl) from Pink Floyd, The Division Bell on CD, saw them live 2 times.... My older sister, my older brother, my younger brother; we all listen to Pink Floyd since 1970. My sister died at the age of 50 in 2007, my brother 2 years later also with 50. At the burial did play Pink Floyd in the mourning hall. Listening to Pink Floyd is "Family", Childhood memorys, Sadness and a deep connectedness with the Universe.

[@Cashcrop54]

This album, The Division Bell", silenced a lot of the critics who said this Pink Floyd could never write, and produce, an album as good a what the band did before. I love this album. And, this song is just so good. David, Richard, and Nick are so in tune with each other. When I watch the whole DVD of this concert it brings a smile and a tear to my eye to see how David & Richard would look at each other so often enjoying the moment. I really enjoy watching your enthusiasm about The Floyd. Reminds me, of me, from back in my young days when Dark Side came out.

[@angelagraves865]

The Division Bell is a beautiful album. I listen to it frequently.

[@jc5247]

If you watch David Gilmour "Live Gdansk" last time Rick Wright plays in concert with Dave ( die later) . just watch Dave and Rick playing together " Echoes" a must watch'

[@marke8323]

@@angelagraves865 Saw this tour, out of 60 concerts, this one was the best!

[@karenglenn6707]

I agree completely with your comment. These 3 amazingly talented musicians performed together as if it was their destiny, which I know sounds corny, but is true. Would they have been this way with any other formation? They also stayed close, not falling out with each other, and their friendships within the 3, is evident in them being so in tune with each other. I love the happy glances at each other too, it shows the sheer joy and happiness in the music, and it is so sad that Rick is no longer here to continue this for us (I’m being very selfish here). I cannot imagine my life without their music, also beginning with DSOTM as a young teenager. A musical blessing to my life.

[@Cashcrop54]

@@karenglenn6707 you have excellent taste!

[@derrickclarke9336]

Pink floyd is so much more than music you experience them you lose you yourself in there sound

[@lars6637]

For me this is my alltime favorite song! The lyrics are perfect and the audio is perfect, its a masterpiece is every single way!

[@01bigtrev]

I could listen to the outro acoustic for hours

[@bigo101]

One regret of my life is that I never got to see Pink Floyd live!

[@Quaidhasta]

This is an amazing song and what a music 🙏🙏

[@pitermanx8]

my fav song ever. it reminds me my young age, the golden years, with innocence of a child... the grass was greener, the nights of wonders...

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

You guys are officially Pink Floyd fans! It's as if you were Tad poles in the beginning and now you have grown your limbs, if that makes any sense? I love that you know every word and it's so good to hear you singing!!! This is such a beautiful song and what a show! This is fantastic!

[@Katy_r]

So emotional! Melancholy, deep, ...everything.There is nothing like PF. Great discussion! Thanks for the awesome reaction!!!

[@djsoulfilter]

One word sums up this song perfectly: Magical

[@justinatest9456]

The definitive version of this song. Every song from this show is perfect, and filled with emotion.

[@jihanhamza7265]

Childhood calling omg , every f***ing time....this is gem

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

David Gilmour is the master of musical notes that will pull at your soul. There is no other like him , we are blessed to have his talent.

[@Naty_Sousa]

Now imagine experiencing this live at a stadium! 😍 Fortunate me!! 🤩🤩

[@vasylhorodetskyy8876]

YOU ARE LUCKY PERSON I'M JEALOUS BUT HAPPY FOR YOU MUCH LOVE

[@MrPolleyr]

Thanks Brothers, that was excellent. I love seeing people who really love good music and appreciate true perfection in their tremendous talent. Over the 2 years of lockdowns and strict regulations……I listened to this song, plus Comfortably Numb and On the Turning Away “every day”. It helped me keep my sanity and my joy. I am so glad you guys finally got to see this amazing performance. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦👍

[@annemaclean6634]

I downloaded High Hopes studio version a long time ago and I've listened to it loads of times but somehow hearing and seeing it live with the video in the background and all the ambience etc, gosh, that was very emotional. I wasn't really expecting to feel like this so it's a bit mindblowing. It's such a beautiful song and so good to hear it live. Many thanks for your reaction, guys. Another favourite great piece of music from Pink Floyd is Marooned, which is a lovely instrumental also from the album Division Bell. Other favourite songs I've downloaded from this album are Coming Back to Life (you've reacted to the live Pulse version), Lost for Words and Take it Back. Another fabulous instrumental is Terminal Frost from A Momentary Lapse of Reason album, it's so beautiful too. All the best, guys, take care.

[@anderspettersson9885]

The live version of High Hopes from "Remember that night" is wonderful.

[@ianfortier6796]

Everything from "Remember That Night" is wonderful but for some reason it gets overshadowed by the Gdansk release. They're both amazing but I prefer RTN.

[@jakehunt3392]

So basically put pink on & push play 😏

[@karenglenn6707]

As far as I know, he and his wife Polly Samson wrote the lyrics for this together. Such a stunningly beautiful song!

[@CHEDAVID]

Wooow!!! More Pink Floyd!!!

[@renatosampaiopsicanalise9667]

I listened this music first time in 1996. Every time i close my eyes and this sound make a deep emotion and i see one universe, IN MY SOUL! this song is a place, is a time in past and future. Pink Floyd is the only "Quantic" Band in the World.

[@Lechuque]

Pink Floyd makes you want to be the best version of yourself you could ever be however hard it is to change yourself.

[@anita3018]

Even if you have already heard it, anything from Pulse concert is Amazing to listen and watch 🙂

[@2869may]

David Gilmour ~ "No Way Out Of Here", "Raise My Rent", "So Far Away", "I Cant Breathe Anymore" and "No Way".... I promise you will not regret it...!

[@pmedford65]

First time hearing this song live! I’m blown away

[@pablozee6359]

It’s cool to see other people who feel music the way I do. I’ve been obsessed with music since I was old enough to learn how to play LPs on my parents record player. Gilmour has created some of the most moving and memorable guitar parts that will be relevant for as long as people listen to music from the 20th century.

[@Pulsar77]

Finally! It's been ages since you guys did Pink Floyd. Yes, this is the definitive version of the song, Gilmour's solo is out of this world. That said, the live versions of the 2006 tour (Remember That Night and Live In Gdansk) are magnificent as well, and absolutely worth reacting to.

[@valerieraymond5853]

I saw them in Toronto in '94. They are just so awesome live! They sound the same live as they do in the studio. That is so hard to do but Pink Floyd have it down to a science. I'm so glad I got to see them.

[@jakehunt3392]

Possibly one of “Pink Floyd’s” greatest songs & collaboration ever. It’s magical both musically & lyrically & also shows the root of Pink Floyd along with its history. Just an amazing feat by the band at the time 🙏…the “Ragged band that followed in their footsteps” refers to the Albums “The final cut” & “A momentary Lapse of reason” & there’s Also a lot more in there 😏

[@dyanyork5027]

David is incomparable. The music he made with Richard is pure perfection. 💞 BTW, check out the song David composed for Steven Hawking "KEEP TALKING" Thanks for this, I miss your Floyd reactions.........💎

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

... and the sun shone all day every day. We all recall the good things from being very young. This song makes you feel that. Well, it does with me. Excellent reaction; Pink Floyd will be with you for life now. The music invades your soul.

[@art3mis290]

Wow, you are great backup singers guys!💯👏 Love love PF! Live the only way!👀Thank you for your fantastic reaction as usual! Watching for the next one!🎶☮☯

[@shecaso]

Thank you for reacting to Pink Floyd! They are simply the best. Love from Portugal ❤️

[@Roger8176]

Your words about Pink Floyd after the song were spot on. Understanding and getting Pink Floyd will improve your life. It is a gift. Also, the one on the left is a good singer. The one on the right is a good communicator and is good at putting thoughts into words. His favorite parts in songs are always my favorite parts as well. You are both good people. Thank You for your videos.

[@beerbug2020]

First time reaction and you know the words already 😂

[@gingeroo5765]

OHh WOW. This stirs up sooo many emotions and memories, that although your mind,body,and soul is racing.. it renders you practically speechless. It’s just too much. (In a wonderful way)

[@jakehunt3392]

So Pretty much every emotion you’ve ever felt in your life(plus new ones) all at once 😭

[@janejohnstone5795]

Love Gilmores...voice whe it goes up higher and then low...and precisely pronounced in his accent..the whole song is very heavy and expressive...

[@TheFremenBlue]

Thank you for reviewing this song. High Hopes and Great Gig will be my funeral songs. When I look back on the past over 6 decades, yeah, it feels just like High Hopes. You may want to try the version on Live in Gdansk too, in which they are backed by a string orchestra, just beautiful.

[@gianni4925]

I can’t believe no one is talking about Nick Mason with the gong around the middle part. That part really added a new and perfect ingredient to the song.

[@roccaclassico9028]

Guys, check out this song performed in Gdansk, Poland, on David Gilmour's official YT channel. IMO it's even better than the Pulse 1994 version because they use an orchestra and Gilmour extends it by playing a beautiful acoustic outro to end it.

[@gingeroo5765]

Sounds magnificent! Is his channel just his name?

[@roccaclassico9028]

@@gingeroo5765 Yes. The Gdansk show isn't a Pink Floyd concert, it's Gilmour performing as a solo artist.

[@Pulsar77]

The 'Remember That Night' version from the same tour is just as good. The great thing about Gilmour is that he never plays a song the same way twice, so every live version is another experience.

[@ginjamutha]

If you like the extended solo in the Gdańsk version, try David’s Royal Albert Hall version. It’s my favourite and it never fails to make me teary eyed ❤️

[@bogdog999]

I was there in 1994 at the Oakland, California show. Best sounding live concert I ever attended, and I went to many in the San Francisco bay area. And the visuals can't be fully shown in the video. Just no way.

[@emmafrench7219]

Love it! I hope you guys are staying safe and happy with all the craziness going on around here in Europe. Thank you for cheering me up.

[@phonebone81]

Excuse my words but... what fucking great musicians and what fucking great music - can it be better? definitely not ! Thanks for sharing and best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

[@paulkussmann6711]

David’s wife (Polly) would walk the beach listening to her husband’s incredible solos and chords…..trying to figure out what he was trying to convey…….she wrote most of the words to this album (along with his future solo stuff) talk about a symbiotic relationship!! Genius stuff!! 🍻🎸

[@wolfstrela]

Any Live Pulse song is amazing.

[@coconutislanddrones]

I was at the concert the night that was filmed. Also seen them 6 weeks earlier in Rotterdam.

Glad you did the recent re-edited version as it has more of Gilmour on his Jedson lap steel at the end.

love ur reaction always good to do all differant version it helps u develop a sense of how good these really are

[@jayyoung5423]

My favorite version as well bros...thank you for this. Happy you liked it, magnificent!

[@sophiecat14]

Love your channel so much! And this exquisite song!! You just never want it to end! I was introduced to PF by my parents... a lot of my musical taste comes from then~ Zeppelin, The Stones, George Harrison, ELO, etc Just amazing, timeless music! Checked your channel & couldn’t find any reactions to The Clash! Phenomenal band! A small example of their hits~ -Rock The Casbah, London Calling, Should I Stay or Should I Go_ I’d love to see some reactions! Would also love to see a reaction for the official video for _Tusk~ Fleetwood Mac!_ Stevie as beguiling, beautiful & enchantingly magical as always, plus a great song!

Hi there, yes, the last album reaction was done at the beginning of May and hopefully the next one will be Led Zeppelin II (from the poll that was uploaded on 7 May) but I don't know when that will be - hopefully some time soon. I think they've been on holiday or busy with other things.

[@rolfbuneker3674]

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again. MAN, that's deep.

There are songs that play in different leagues. Like this one. Such a brutal composition, somehow it reminds me to Dire Straits's private investigations.

[@surlechapeau]

Bro's, for your 33rd? Pink Floyd reaction, try "Young Lust"!

[@Pulsar77]

Btw, Gilmour didn't say that it was their first time playing it. He said "alright, we'll get straight on with it". This was one of the last concerts of the Division Bell tour, so they already played it more than 100 times.

[@jakehunt3392]

Gilmour definitely said that, never said anything much, just wanted to play the music, but he did say that & I’m sure it’s on the dvd 😏

And just to think guys we should also never forget Syd Barrett the flawed genius without him we would never be listening to this music today, Syd created this band then after leaving suffered mentally for the rest of his life and died relatively in a poor state, Shine on Syd we are forever indebted to you all of us should remember Syd when listening to Pink Floyd❤💫

[@beezysbeatz4924]

I like singing to it too

[@abandonedchannel1159]

Guys, you should react to the early Pink Floyd era when Syd Barret was in the band and when their sound was more psychedelic. I think You will enjoy it a lot
