Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away | Drummer's Analysis and Reaction

[@davidshort2313]

71 here Floyd have been the soundtrack to my life and I listen to either Floyd or Gilmour at least once a day still it never gets old, whereas I do :(

[@redsquirrel1086]

These guys were the best of the best. Their live performances were out of this world.

[@Rackelhane]

Rachel Fury one of the backning vocalists (to the right) is the coolest lady. This is one of PinkFloyds best songs for me. Thank you guys for a great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@terryrumble8500]

Hi guys, love your reaction great comments. You need to watch some of his latest tour started October and finished November of this year. The guy is nearly 80 years old and is amazing, he is unbelievable there is no difference in his playing from 10, 20 years ago David Gilmour is a musical genius I'm not giving too much away, you need to watch for yourself. I'm nearly 69 years old and i have been following Pink Floyd since 1968 but mainly David Gilmour and i love all his solo albums, you need to have a look at some of his songs/ videos you will be presently surprised. Some unbelievable solos, instrumentals. Give 5am. And then.a listen you will be amazed. Keep PINK FLOYD reaction videos coming guys. Cheers

[@richardmillard5498]

Pink Floyd were just Gilmour, Mason and Wright and just Gilmour and Mason after Wright's death, but though he has never been a band"member" bassist Guy Pratt has been a constant through to the present day. In fact he has just finished touring with Gilmour (78 now) last month. Pratt also plays bass for Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. (as well as being Richard Wright's son in law). Had their first album from release, saw them first in 69, saw the 88 tour at Wembley and was in Earls Ct on the night they recorded Pulse. They are the story of my life, I'm 75 and my kids and grandkids play Pink Floyd, because they are timeless.

[@michaelfagan9620]

Guy Pratt should have been made a member at some point. He's been on tour with PF and DG for decades!

[@rhudoc3745]

Old timer here : ) First listen to PF was "Meddle" in '71. What a great performance this tour was. 11:18 The backup vocalist just let's go with that wail. Even from a video I get a chill down my spine. Just found your channel. Great work!!

[@ba-gg6jo]

Glad you are hanging in there from another old timer!

[@kariborgos3043]

Great reaction! ❤ Another very emotional song of theirs (among many) is High Hopes. It's absolutely beautiful and speaks to your soul. And it hits harder the older you get. ❤ I'd recommend the live version from the Pulse tour.

[@GordonHeaney]

Great recommendation

[@francescopaoletti8953]

Per me la piu' bella versione di High Hopes è quella che ha suonato nel live di Varsavia nel 2008

[@francescopaoletti8953]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJupZ5-JqcyLiqs Per me è la migliore!

[@user-audioTec76]

Great reaction from both of you. If I may add - David Gilmour’s guitar is plugged directly into his soul and he does not waste notes! Look forward to more Floyd reactions.

[@tonysantoro1997]

I was at the Nassau Coliseum 3 of the 5 nights they played . 2 of those nights were when this was recorded.

[@NeilBevan-to7bn]

The fabulous Margret Taylor with that 'crazy' high note at 11:18 Awesome.

[@michaelfagan9620]

I rewind to hear that note SO MANY TIMES! I even hear it when I play the album version of the song.

[@Cashcrop54]

On the subject of band members the bass player in this video is Guy Pratt. He also did Pulse and he was the only band member who was with David in the tour he finished a couple weeks ago. He'd been playing with David then for 39 years.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I was going to mention that. Yeah, Guy's been with Gilmore for at least 36 years......or 39.

[@deepsouthNZ]

He was also Rick Wrights son in law for many years

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@deepsouthNZ now that is a cool factoid. Like Ringo Starr and Joe Walsh being brothers-in-law. Or Robert Plant being Jason Bonham’s godfather. I love shit line that.

[@Cashcrop54]

@@deepsouthNZ really. Didn't know that. Thanks.

[@normmcinnis4102]

This was the "Delicate Sound of Thunder'" tour.

[@Rogers_Ego]

David has a wonderful sense of music! It's not just him & his axe as many layers to his music.

[@jackrobinson6277]

One of my favorite Floyd songs.

[@ToddSauve]

Yes, a timeless rock masterpiece. It will be listened to as long as this age lasts. 👌😎

[@Divedown_25]

Nick Mason is the gentleman of toms

[@thomaswestby7926]

Definitely picked up the Celtic. Beautiful song, full of meaning. Great job

[@boosuedon]

Named in homage' to two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, USA; "PINK" Anderson and "FLOYD" Council, they are the cerebral band of rock!

[@clivegrant4225]

Great analysis guys. Having seen them at the Pulse concert in 1994, I can personally vouch for their brilliance.

[@vernhoke7730]

I remember buying this cassette when it came out. This is a great song and one of my favorites. I hardly ever recommend the music video, but the one for this song is outstanding.

[@todquarles1695]

Wearing the Inside Out is a great song from the Division Bell. It's unique in that there are lyrics from 3 different perspectives. Live versions are few and far between, but you can find one from David's Remeber That Night DVD.

[@fhermeneses7999]

Great reaction thanks more pink floyd pulse versión please 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉... Mi suscription 👌👌👌👌

[@shaunbyrne9037]

Original lineup ... Syd Barret , Roger Waters , Richard Wright and Nick Mason . Dave Gilmour replaced Syd Barret after Syd's dalliance with drugs sent him to the dark side . Roger waters left in 1985 leading to legal battles and the ongoing feud with David . Guy Pratt has been the defacto bass player with Floyd and Dave Gilmours solo stuff ever since . Guy also married Richards daughter . He just finished David's solo tour last month . Check out the podcast Rockonteurs interview on KZbin Guy did with David . Also the interview Rick Beato did with David also on KZbin. Fascinating stuff .

[@RushfanUK]

I saw David at the Royal Albert Hall in October, at 78 he was just brilliant.

[@michaelfagan9620]

Guy Pratt should have been made an official member of PF at some point!

[@kennypierce8221]

Don't forget about Nick Mason on the drums

[@GordonHeaney]

Love Gilmour's "Bank Manager on a day off" look!

[@boroblueyes]

If you listen to Pink Floyd with headphones you'll hear even more subtle musical sounds.

[@nigel7092]

You must play "Comfortably Numb", "High Hopes", "Sorrow", in fact anything from the 1994 PULSE concert. (use the 2019 remixed and re-edited version).

[@davehadley3567]

If you haven’t already done it ( not showing on your list) you just have to react to Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert , also Great Gig in the Sky and Wish you were here from the same Pulse concert.

[@tonysantoro1997]

From what I understand it was just Dave and Nick official members , and Rich was still getting paid . Roger kicked him out after The Wall. They later did bring back as a official member

[@ÉlunMosk-d9n]

_ when you watch and hear Pink Floyd in Pompeii in 1971, you will fall to the ground _

[@glennbrock6560]

Porcupine tree, Steven Wilson, has many Floydian elements abd by the way. Steven Wilson is a monster prog talent, must be checked if you havent.

[@MysticalMojos]

Will definitely get to Porcupine tree!

[@shaunbyrne9037]

Check out the song Trains by Porcupine Tree. Outstanding. Steven Wilson is a genius in my humble opinion. His solo stuff is worth checking as well as a collaboration he did called Blackfield with Aviv Geffen... again outstanding stuff .

[@alanbrooke6173]

Great reaction. You should try Dogs of War from the same gig❤

[@GeorgeCrosby-z5d]

Enjoying the jam, nice shirt

[@MysticalMojos]

Thanks!

[@PetrNielsn]

B e a u t i f u l lyrics. Did you notice?

[@originalpottsy]

Rush is usually seen and compared to PF and say they were heavily influenced by them.

[@winterknight4176]

Just a quick comment on the audiences for Pink Floyd and David Gilmour. They are not that much different today, as seen in David Gilmour, 4th Nov 2024, at Madison Square Gardens NYC. With his daughter Romany.

[@helenespaulding7562]

you mentioned that Floyd is a "prog" band. Yes...I guess that might be the closest genre to what they were. But, to me, they were their own genre. I mean, really, there is, at least to me, little resemblance between Floyd's sound and that of Genesis, or Yes, or ELP, or King Crimson, or Jethro Tull, or Kansas or Rush. Perhaps The Moody Blues. What I DO hear is that they have influenced some prog metal bands, such as Porcupine Tree, The Pineapple Thief....both of which have moments of that ethereal sound.

[@Cherokeelion]

Oh Gosh, listen to the lyrics… they are relevant TODAY… almost 40 years later.

[@dboss7239]

Intelligent, insightful and all round excellent reaction! The band was a synergy of genius where the resulting whole was greater than the sum of the parts. And even after Roger left, the remaining genius was still in evidence. Please do more Pink Floyd. You do know David is still going strong at 78 years young, and he released a new album in Sept, and completed a 21 show tour in Rome, London, Los Angeles and New York. In his own words on the "making of" video , he says it's the best work he's done since Dark Side of the Moon. None of the cell phone videos of the concerts are any good... (fidelity of a phone mic is poor) You would both enjoy watching the making of Luck And Strange: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5TOeZyjjNVshKs ( David Gilmour - The Making of Luck and Strange ) And here's two decent recordings of the tour band: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZSwpYSYrtSesNU ( David Gilmour - The Piper's Call (Later... with Jools Holland) ) And this one features his daughter Romany singing lead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6eXXmCma8d0rtE ( David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour - Between Two Points (Later... with Jools Holland) ) She certainly has inherited some of that Gilmour magic... sounds like an angel, and playing a harp no less.... Here is a lovely photo album of Romany growing up, set to one of David's tunes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipDKgpJ6at6bd6c ( David Gilmour and Romany Gilmour - Kokineli ) Can you imagine having David as your dad, and music teacher? And she does look a lot like the young David as well.

[@boroblueyes]

Great reaction, new subscriber here. I hope you can react to "Great Gig in the Sky" from this same "Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour video. Margaret Taylor, Rachael Fury and Durga McBroom will smoke your brain.

[@anthonycollins5305]

England has so many Kings.

[@helenespaulding7562]

you think that because the audience was sitting, they weren't "there"? hehe.....most of them were stoned out of their minds.....Sitting was what they could handle.

[@mr.madamido8697]

Great reaction .. Dogs of War from the same concert is a banger

[@MysticalMojos]

I'll put in on the list! Thanks :)

[@jonmac3995]

Great reaction, Check out the bass player, the legendary Guy Pratt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r53YgXaCmJafqsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ-7h5iafrd6hNU

[@MysticalMojos]

yes! What a player!

[@richardmillard5498]

Guy Pratt is a top quality and much sought after bass player. Check him out on wikipedia, his CV is enormous.

[@scantlin6918]

Never, ever interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo. That is truly a sin.

[@djclabbe88]

Did you forget Roger Waters?? (not in this video, but a original member of the band)

[@MysticalMojos]

Absolutely not, didn't forget but should have mentioned him more your right, what an artist!

[@clivejones1152]

The guys did. Did you fast forward past 3 minute or so. Time huh ?

[@keyrat1753]

Greetings from Miami, Florida! From the same concert as On The Turning Away, please check out ONE SLIP live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ2ygIWZerWGb68si=R8wdhL3yDZGdHdgL

[@IndyYakr]

Terrible to interrupt the solo.

[@philburn8168]

It is a sin to pause during a David Gilmour solo....please don't!!

[@miamicool666]

Again and again this stupid habit of cutting every five minutes, even during a guitar solo.
