This song is written for their friend and former band mate Syd Barret who’m became mentally ill and eventually was forced to leave the band. Syd passed away in 2006. I went to the Pulse concert in Rotterdam in 1994 and believe me, I cried my eyes out.

[@misterkite]

When I was in highschool, a friend of mine and I spent all 4 years going to tons of concerts. We went to clubs to watch local bands several times a month, and to the arena & stadiums to see bigger bands maybe 15 times over that span? Anyways.. the two most memorable concerts we attended were Pink Floyd in 94, and we actually ditched our senior prom to see Page & Plant a year later. My only regret was not keeping all my ticket stubs.

[@olddodgegarage530]

Rogher Waters says that Wish you were here is only partially about Sid.

[@steveboyes2090]

That is correct and David said the same thing. The whole album is kinda Syd reflective, but this was not specific for him like Shine On

[@donepearce]

I was this one - Earls Court in London. It was even better than this.

[@beij0]

(S)hine On (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond is fully a tribute Syd. His name is even in the title! The WYWH album had themes of him throughout and how much they missed their friend. But this song is about loss, on a universal level. Just missing someone.

[@andrewchirgwin4136]

I am 70 years old and with so much of Pink Floyd's music I struggle to keep dry eyes, they find your deepest emotions and tear you open. I am so pleased that you are enjoying the experience.

RIP Syd❤, you don't listen to Pinkfloyd, you feel Pinkfloyd, the greatest band ever, absolutely amazing ❤

[@ThomasKnip]

When Pink Floyd played in a soocer stadium near my home town on their tour, next day the local newspaper wrote about complaints from neighbors who couldn't sleep because of the sound. I just smiled at my mother and told her, this is the last time they heard dinosaurs walk the Earth.

[@karlknapp2798]

We guys, who went to the Pulse concert, cried our eyes out - be sure.

[@an.american]

What brings tears to my eyes when I listen to Pink Floyd is that many of their songs reacquaint me with my youth and my mortality. I'm a veteran so it's not that I'm afraid of death and God knows I've been around it a lot. Rather they invoke feelings of nostalgia, regret, passion and many other emotions. I contemplate my past choices in life which have allowed me to live it to the fullest of my ability. There is always something that everybody thinks to themselves, I could/should have done this or that differently. Every Pink Floyd song has some ability to make you feel a vast array of emotions. But the real truth of it all is that their music is beautiful and I will miss it. Yet then, I just might bump into them in the afterlife.

[@vmeglis70]

Thank you for your service to our Country my friend, it is appreciated 🙏..I love Floyd, I am also a big Deadhead too, they kind of go hand in hand anyway..I always say that I hope Jerry's playing is the soundtrack to my afterlife..would've loved to see Jerry and Dave jam together, unfortunately it never happened tho..take care and stay safe..Peace ✌️

[@stevenlaurin6059]

David dressed like hes about to fix your plumbing then proceeds to pump out some of the most iconic guitar riffs ever

[@blackbob3358]

That's a great observation, Steven. He's obviously saying "it's what ya sound like, not what ya look like. We all know the bands who he's talking about. All glam, no substance.

" were just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl ," , year after year . That line tear's me up every time . 😢😢💞

[@saoralba8639]

'Shine on you crazy diamond' is a must from this concert! ❤

[@gbsailing9436]

Actually, DO NOT do 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' from this Pulse concert. This version misses out one complete guitar solo (out of 3!) and the song suffers for it BIG time in my opinion. The audio version has three distinct guitar solos and each should be experienced the way the band meant them to be. Try that version first before moving onto the Pulse version.

[@markinc7]

Yes studio version I-V is a must, plus VI-XI can't be overlooked. I actually think it's as good or better. @@gbsailing9436

[@kgunitkeese17]

@@gbsailing9436I agree. Definitely not Pulse because the intro is cut short from the keyboards.

[@gbsailing9436]

In addition, the 3rd solo is the better of all three and so the whole character of the music is poorer without it. Do the audio version first. then come back here at your leisure. @@kgunitkeese17

[@matheusios]

You were amazed by the crowd’s reaction. Just to explain: they played the entire The Dark Side of The Moon album, and Wish You Were Here was the first encore. That's why they were so excited.

[@sarahgoldt3835]

Yes, again... they are just stepping back behind their music... very humble... and it is not in the written music... you cannot write down humbleness... but it is part of the beauty conveyed. Thank you Stacey for sharing your emotions / reactions... I feel very much the same...

[@stevewalsh4850]

62 years old here, seen Floyd 3 times back in the day and I still cry watching videos of them 😎

[@hudsonhollow]

I'm 74 and have loved Pink Floyd for almost all of my life. Yes, I tear up often even if I have heard a song many,many times. They are so deep and full of emotion. I've suggested "Time" a few times now and advised the studio version, but if you want to experience the Pulse live version, you will not be disappointed. Listen to the lyrics and see if they change your outlook on life like it did me when I first heard it in my Twenties.

[@janistan]

Studioversion of "Time AND Great Gig in the Sky", please... they belong together!

[@gbsailing9436]

Yes Do the audio versions first as they have so much more sonic blessedness to them. Sure the live versions are great, but the audio versions are the way the band wanted the song to sound and have so much more sonic depth! @@janistan

[@bradreimer2649]

My god!! I'm 62 and finally someone that sees this band for who they are! Your tears affirm me.

Seeing a Floyd concert is like going to Church for many people . Emotions come out that are quite unexpected

[@chrisvancampen6706]

so... I lost a daughter a couple years ago. Today is her birthday, and I happened to come across your video. Every single day , I wish she was here, and every time I hear this song it reminds me of her and I cry too. Thank you for your raw honest response and reaction to the greatest songs ever written... peace to you.

[@stevesaturnation]

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish she was here for you too Chris. ☮️&💟

[@FamilienKaalundRamdal]

There is absolutely no way I can express how sorry I am for your loss. I do however understand why "Wish you were here" would trigger your emotions. Perhaps the best way to cherish the memory is to embed it into a particular song. A song you can listen to and recall all the good things you shared, and those moments that really made a difference for you. This is the song I want to be played when I leave this world. Not because I want people to miss me, but because I'm certain that where ever I end up, is a wonderful place where I'd love for my friends and family to be. So, "WIsh you were here" is me telling them...Not the other way around. :D Again, SO sorry for your loss. I hope you can find your way despite it.

[@brucepickering787]

As a father of daughters, you broke me. I'm so sorry for what you have lost and pray that you can hold on to the good memories more than the loss.

[@k2thepeak]

I’m very sorry for your loss, Chris. I have faith that she is still here with you in spirit. And that you will be reunited in time. This song brings back memories of many that I’ve lost too. Beautiful art.

[@Soul_Freezer]

May you heal in time….😓

[@steveelson2999]

Great show Stacy ❤. I'm 70 years old and know exactly what you feel. If you ever get the chance go to see Brit Floyd, they are a absolutely amazing rendition. ❤

[@garyjerreat8521]

Wonderful tribute to Syd Barret, not to be forgotten, Richard Wright who passed away in 2008 and who was such an integral part of Pink Floyd

[@CharlesBanning-oi8dj]

I'm so pleased for you to have discovered Pink Floyd

[@AliasMark69]

I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap frogged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shock both hands at the same time, 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.

[@mgordon1100]

I've seen a few of his 84 shows on KZbin. Despite the boom in success that Pink Floyd had after the In The Flesh tour, David Gilmour on his own was still relatively small and intimate. It was like seeing a Jerry Garcia Band show without The Grateful Dead. If I were him, I'd miss those kind of shows where I'd be able to just be myself with the fans.

[@TheDirge69]

Nice 👍 I

[@angelokritsilas775]

I lost the love of my life in 1995 . . . Every time I hear this song . . . I see her in front of me . . . It's a beautiful song, packed with emotions. Now I have a second chance in life with my new love . . . she is much younger than me . . . she is a beautiful lady . . . I am teaching her about (rock) music and she is so captivated . . . she is learning and loving every moment. She plays the classical guitar

[@mgass1354]

There are so many great Pink Floyd songs and albums. The 60s and 70s were two of the greatest decades for artists and bands. The best of them just didn't stop.

[@stephenreiner1523]

This song was written for one of the founders of Pink Floyd, Sidney Barrett. Like Shine on you Crazy Diamond. He was the front man for Pink Floyd until drugs took him down. David didn't want to release this Trac, Roger Waters wrote it.Syd was diagnosed with what was in that time a specific diagnosis in the DMS IIi. However, one could only guess as Syd was fairly well protected. Either way it was the saddest song that Pink Floyd ever wrote. How devastating the issues that people go through. It devastated the band. Hmm, enough said.

[@louissamson4609]

Roger said publicly that, indeed Shine On was about Syd. But, for wish you were here, he never put a name to it. He said it's more about absence of a friend in general that the listener will make his own of it. It fits with the thematic of the album, which is absence.@@stephenreiner1523

[@ianfortier6796]

Roger wrote the lyrics and David wrote the music. Where did you hear/read that David didn't want to release this track? I've never heard that before and find it odd that might be the case, considering how integral to the album this song is. Thematically, especially.

[@MalcolmMacPhail-mt1gt]

Pink Floyd put out a lot of good music through the decades. However the four albums they put out in the 70s - Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall - is the pinnacle of their output. Another note, with the Pulse concerts, although great performances, one of the founding members, Roger Waters, had previously left the band and was not in the lineup.

[@michaelicuhustle]

For us old folks who are long time Pink Floyd fans, we’ve all said goodbye to a friend or two with that tune. That’s why we sang along. In tears. Remembering old times ❤

[@suesun7072]

I lost a dear friend just weeks before the concert. Singing along with shivering lips while tears ran down my face was one of the most intense moments of my life.

[@John-ve8kd]

I saw alot of concerts growing up on the jersey shore. A $10.00 train ride directly to Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. We had all the greatest biggest bands of that time. It was a great time to be a teenager. 😅🎉❤

[@DarkAndVelvetNights]

Pink Floyd's bassist Roger Waters left the band in 1985 before the Pulse tour. He was one of the main song writers of the band and wrote all these beautiful lyrics to these songs. I recommend to watch Pink Floyds reunion in Live 8. That's the last time the whole Pink Floyd has ever played. It's so emotional when Roger and David are singing together to Syd Barret who had to left the band because of mental problems. The lurics just fit so well to the concert. "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl."

[@jessejames5825]

Roger actually left before the Momentary laps of Reason tour of 87-89. The Pulse tour wasn't until 1994-1995 to support the Division Bell album.

[@DarkAndVelvetNights]

@@jessejames5825 I didn't mean that he left right before the Pulse. My point is that he wasn't in the Pulse tour.

[@martinforrester8249]

[@rinner2801]

When I saw Pink Floyd in Minneapolis my brain was blown out of the back of my skull. No time for tears.

[@Fritzw75]

Dig this. I saw Pink Floyd live on April 12, 1975 at the Cow Palace in Brisbane, California about 15 miles south on highway 101 from San Francisco. Then I saw them 2 years later in 1977 for the Animals tour at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. The 75 concert was the most incredible concert ever. They played alone for 4 hours. They played the entire Dark Side of The Moon Album and the entire Echoes album and several songs from the Wish You Were Here new Album that had not been released yet. It was released in September 1975. I consider myself so lucky to have grown up in this era. I had just turned 18 in April 75 when I attended this show with about 10 of my closets friends. Will never forget that show.

[@donneedano3948]

... I agree with everyone previous....but my favorite part is your kitty saying hello... :) I had 2 kitty sisters, 22 and 23 years... and a calico from a bar parking lot in Las Vegas for 13 years. The calico... was taken care of by the barmaids... for the most part... but I saw one "AHOLE" kick at her one night... I grabbed him by the throat threw him against the wall... "IF I EVER SEE YOU MISTREET AN ANIMAL IN ANY WAY AGAIN I WILL... BLAHBLAH"... Never saw HIM at the bar again (I'm 6'2" 225 btw, he was about 5'8" and 150), but I made up MY mind, "KITTY IS COMING HOME WITH ME!!" It took some coaxing, but I finally got the calico in my car and took her home. She was SOOO thankful!!

[@oneeye7893]

Part of the concept behind song is he's sitting listening to a song on the radio n then joins in and starts singing along with it.. on the album you can also hear him clear his throat as he's preparing to " sing along" with the radio.. it's part of what makes the crowd singing it with him so touching.. because we all have someone we miss.

[@jeffproctor1273]

For all of us that were lucky enough to see this band I’m positive it will remain the best rock show we’ve ever seen 😃

[@numbersasaname2291]

Your father is correct. You need to hear an entire Pink Floyd album non-stop ... wearing headphones ... in the dark ... and if Dad didn't tell you, being high improves the experience tremendously. That is how I learned how to listen to Pink Floyd when they first arrived and it remains my preferred way to listen to them.

The album came out in 1975, it will be 50 years ago next year but I can still remember buying the album from my local record shop - vinyl of course ! - as a young man of 20 and loving it from the first hearing. "Wish you were here" and "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" were my mother's favourites as well and she listened to the tape of those two tracks I recorded for her until her 98th year, when she passed away two years ago. Love you, dearest Mum, I miss you and Dad terribly and really do wish you were here ! ❤❤❤

[@Chris-v4j6l]

This album is 50yrs old and still sounds as fresh and modern as ever. Truly a timeless piece of musical art. It has been my favorite song for over 40yrs and still haven't gotten tired of it. It's one of those songs they say if you were stuck on an island what song would you want. Well there it is. That good. And when everybody's singing along its like the biggest campfire song along ever. It does bring tears to my eyes just remembering being there.🙏

[@sstrick500]

In the mid 1980s, I was listening to heavy metal/thrash metal. Anthrax, Slayer, Morbid Angel....etc. I got ahold of The Wall, and was like "Oh! This is cool!" Pink Floyd talks to everyone.

[@LearningJeff]

I saw Pink Floyd the first time in ‘84. The 15,000 seat arena was sold out, of course. The part that hit me the hardest… no one stood up, during songs like this. Overcome with emotion, and in awe of the talent witnessed.

[@brewcrew1240]

This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs ever! Great reaction to this. This is only speculation, but I've always heard this song is about Syd Barrett, who left the band and became estranged.

[@evilweeja]

To us ( AND YOU NOW STACEY ) Floydian's " Wish you was here " is the ultimate floyd song that we all know love cherish an sing / cry to .. Hence why everyone was singing word for word at the top of their voices ( And yes then bawling our eyes out crying cuz we jus sang it with David lol )

[@Neil_BT]

The wistful helplessness of the last chorus when he adds another 'How I wish' to "How I wish you were here." is just heart wrenching. The words speak for themselves, but the song is set as someone listening to the radio, scrolling through stations until they find a song they like, and then playing along with their own guitar and then singing along for someone they really care about who they miss.

[@TheTitus007]

At each Pink Floyd concert tears of happiness often flowed in my eyes. and above all the SOUND in Quadriphony is unique. Thank you 👏👏🙏

[@-R.Gray-]

Many say that the song "Wish You Were Here" is about Syd Barrett, founding Floyd member, who had to leave the group after what has been called a drug induced psychological breakdown after an album and a half. David Gilmour was his replacement.

[@Didda3]

The song is about and lyrics written by Roger.

[@CatO9lives]

I've been a Pink Floyd fan since 1973 when my older brother bought an 8-Track tape of their album Dark Side of the Moon (Best Pink Floyd Album). A few years later, he bought the album, "Wish You Were Here", and the song, "Wish You Were Here", was his favorite. He died of cancer in 2014 and every time I here this song, I get emotional and weep for my brother. The title says it all. I wish he was here every day.

[@tracemartini7725]

I took a girl i was mad about to see pink floyd in concert in dallas and she had no idea who pink floyd was, she thought it was a girl band. When they played wish u were here she started crying and i asked her what was wrong, she said it made her think of her grandfather who she was real close to. A year later we were real serious and she told me she had some great news, but she wanted to tell me in person. I didnt get off work till 9pm but told her i would come out as soon as i got off. She lived way out in the country and it took 45 min to get to her place. When i got there her father was sitting in backyard by himself, and the sprinklers were going, he was what seemed like a trance, getting soaked. I asked him where susan was, and he said "shes gone". "Gone where?" I asked, "just gone". I thought he was crazy, so i went in the house and her mom and sister were just balling. I asked what was wrong with ronnie, why were they crying, where was susan? They said that earlier susan started having an asthma attack and didnt have an inhaler, they rushed to hospital but it was so far she didnt make it, she passed in truck on way to hospital. I was devastated, i walked outside and ronnie was still in chair, sprinklers still on, staring into space. I turned sprinklers off and said i talked to her a few hours ago, she had news to tell me. He tried to speak 3 or 4 times but stopped. Tears were rolling down his face. He was a mans man, i never saw him cry before or since. He finally spoke and said she told him the good news, she was pregnant with a little boy, and she was gonna name him ronnie, because he never had a son, only daughters. At her funeral they played wish u were here, and even though that was over 30 years ago, i still feel tears well up in my eyes when i hear it.

[@StaceyRPGReacts]

Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

[@SaintPhoenixx]

I assume you've got a list of more Pink Floyd to do but here's just a few more worth checking out: Sorrow, Mother, Coming Back To Life, Time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (a long one), Breathe, Another Brick in the Wall, Louder Than Words, Echoes (it's like 20 minutes long but worth it), Dogs (another long one), The Great Gig In The Sky, Learning To Fly, Money, Hey You, Marooned (instrumental, quite 'spacy'), One Of These Days. The good thing is you've barely scratched the surface of great Floyd songs. You've enjoyed them so far, there's plenty more where that came from.

[@prestigeworldwide7990]

Think I mentioned this on one of your other videos, but the Live at Pompeii Blu-Ray is absolutely captivating. Not just the music, but the whole story behind it.

[@oldsoldier4u814]

I cannot more highly recommend "Great Gig in the Sky"! Album version will move you but the one from the Pulse concert is also very awesome!

[@DavidBoyd-xg2by]

Although the album version should the listened to, I think the Pulse version is much better for a reaction video especially for someone who enjoys watching Pink Floyd live.

[@granfall00n]

Really disagree. Both versions are breath taking and the two female vocalists are superb. But the original studio version with the original singer is just perfection.

[@stevengarland1252]

Awesome thing to see , another generation enjoying music from my young adult life !

[@burnout_2017]

He crowd is cheering as much for the song as they are for Syd Barrett, their former founding member for whom this song iis about. He mentally never returned from a bad acid trip way back in their early years. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is another song written for/about Syd and his struggles as is parts of the Wall album. I hope your feeling better and your recovery is progressing as it should...❤❤❤❤❤

In college, we would sit around drinking and eventually the guitars would come out. My friend and I were the only ones who knew the words, so we would sing this every time. He died sophomore year. I sat in my dorm room and played this song over and over on my Walkman until the cassette tape snapped. That was 1989. I still think of him whenever I hear this.

It makes me smile to think how powerful, emotional and wondrous your journey will be. It's a journey I embarked upon around 1970. In 54 years I must have heard every Pink Floyd album literally thousands of times, and I still play them and still enjoy them. Pink Floyd have been the soundtrack of my life. I was at the Pulse concert you have been watching. It was the most incredible, wonderful, emotional thing I had ever seen. I pretty much stopped going to concerts after that because I knew I would never see anything better in my life. One song that you should react to from Pulse is "The Great Gig in the Sky". If you've been emotional up to now listening to Pink Floyd, that song will really make you feel emotional like no other. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded by anybody and the performances are absolutely incredible. I would absolutely adore seeing your reaction because I know it will hit you in the same way it never fails to hit me. The very best of luck with the channel and it is so wonderful seeing somebody receptive and eloquent like yourself starting your Pink Floyd journey. There are so many people who have done the same on KZbin and so many of them have ended up in tears like you. Take care. Andy.

My first girlfriend used to sing this to me on her acoustic guitar in New Glasgow Nova Scotia. I miss those days. I wish she were here.

Hi Stacey, my name is Gianni ,i'm from Italy. I saw this concert in 1994 at the Torino Stadium delle Alpi. Every time I watch a video from this concert, my eyes starts to be wet and a lot of memories running in my Heart and in my brain. You are living a wonderful experience and you are seeing the light !!! I Wish you all the best in your Life !!!

[@DavidHoyos-vj1yj]

I would love to hear pink floyd songs for the first time again.

[@RandallMorris222]

To me, the most important line of the lyrics is "Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" That line always makes me think about my life. By the way, you kept saying "the album." The 4-5 songs you have heard have been from 4-5 albums. You dad is right; Pink Floyd created concept albums. But you're going to have to choose which album.

[@Intothelight1981]

Rick Wright....what an awesome and critical contributor. Not often considered in the same light as Dave Gilmour and Nick Mason. Maybe because he was a salaried component of the band.... I dunno. What I do know is that his sound is so deeply entrenched in Floyd's music. In many ways, it's the back bone of their sound. Here's to Rick🍺

[@jorgenaranjo6624]

Aprecio tu gran sensibilidad. Siempre veo tus reacciones porque son genuinas y naturales. Te deseo lo mejor.

[@etiennemassonnet5289]

Pink Floyd vous emmène dans un monde parallèle c'est ce qui les rends uniques. J'ai eu l'infinie chance et honneur de voir deux fois ce concert et j'oublierais jamais ces moments.

[@voqoo]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-V and VI-IX would be great!!

[@Steven1024-SDD]

Stacey, I enjoy your reactions… especial the Pink Floyd songs. I realize this takes a lot of time and energy. You seem to be able to get into the right “frame of mind” to capture your amazing reactions. Well done!

[@MichaeldeKlijn]

I wish i was there.. last Month i went to Brit Floyd the Tribute Band.. Amazing. They play the whole Pulse Concert. I love drive my Van and listening to that Mindbomb Music❤❤❤❤

[@CoryFromMN]

I was lucky to see Floyd live. You never understand how a song can bring so many people together until you hear 30k people sing this in unison. David even stopped singing and let the crowd finish the song

[@HUEnshiro_do_Norte]

This song remembers my deceased cat. In its first death birthday I did an homage to him with this song. Everytime when I listen this song I cry because of it. RIP, Odin, my gorgeous and lovely little one.

[@FuzzyJohn]

Imagine a stadium filled with 80,000 people joining into singing this beautiful song. When you hear it live you just can't help it.

[@enricviguer9560]

When you hear about Syd Barret history and his relationship with this song, it will be a multiplier for the emotions and the tears. Congrats to be engaged in Pink Floyd mood.

[@VonBlade]

7:09 We did. I've seen it every month since (aka hundreds of times) and cry _every_ time.

[@JoeLast-m4v]

I was lucky enough to see them in concert twice, once in door and outdoor sober both times. I will never forget it.

[@moparman1962]

6:06 mark...yes, David Gilmour matched what he was playing on his guitar with his voice, absolutely perfectly in time and tone, the two became one. And Stacey, the realization of what he was doing hit you hard, and you reacted to it strongly with surprise and amazement. They were, are and always will be Pink Floyd, and he will always be the brilliant, talented, amazing David Gilmour. What's not to like? What's not to LOVE? ; )

[@dalesandt8543]

They never talk, just perform, blowing you away!!!❤❤I so wish you young folks could enjoy the rock I enjoyed my whole young life in concerts.

[@josephsettle8558]

The fans, have adopted this song, as their own!!😊 That's why they always sing along, with David!!!

[@steviebye1]

I'm 60 and was lucky enough to see floyd live 3 times. Meddle, Darkside of the moon and Wish you were here, in my opinion are the greatest albums of all time.

[@SometimesIamOmniscient]

I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 David Gilmour is my favorite Guitarist and Artist 🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice 🎉

Thank you for your great reactions to Pink Floyd. As a teen in the 70’s, we had so much great music at the time that we just took some of it for granted…but never Pink Floyd. Theirs was always special! Seeing today’s younger generation appreciating this music gives us a feeling of relief that this music will continue long after we’re gone! You will always have a chorus of people saying you must react to the entire album to get the full effect. It’s true that each album was based on a specific concept and yes it’s great to listen to it in one session but it’s not essential. You can cherry pick songs and it’s fine. Just look for that particular albums concept and you’ll have context for each song. You will also notice that your subs and views greatly increase when you react to Pink Floyd. We’re loyal fans and love seeing new people discover it. I would much more appreciate seeing your reactions eight different times for Dark Side of the Moon than just once because you did the entire album! Love your idea to listen to them individually first and then do a full album later on. You won’t regret it. Also the song Sorrow is great from the pulse concert!

[@metropolinational485]

I am in my 50s. Have been listening to this song for my entire life. Somehow, over all those decades, I have never not found this song to be timely, relevant, and to speak to me about my life. A lost girl, a lost friend, a lost family member as you get older. It has brought me to tears so many times. Stacey may find that she did not bawl her eyes out this time, but we all experience moments of deep loss over the years and this song just keeps sneaking up on you at those times. Like a gift from the universe in your moment of need. I have both jammed and wept to this song. Its really one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@MathewCummins]

Your comment on making the song about someone personal, is dead on!!! And they wrote it about their old band mate and founding member. His name was Sid Barrett. Shine on Crazy Diamond is about him as well

[@Malcolm-c7x]

It was a lifetime concert, They were Magnificent, and we were astounded at the end, I don't think any of us could believe what we had watched.

[@rickkennedy825]

I’ve been to 4 Pink Floyd live concerts from the 70 - the 90 best show in live concerts

[@robwilkes8436]

Stacey, you have a wonderful ability to empathically connect with the emotion of a song. Please allow me to share why this song makes me--- a 60 year old man who grew up in the "men don;t cry" era--- why I cry every time. On the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2005, I dropped by my best friend's house to see if he was ok. The Friday before, his wife left him, took their two kids, and moved in with a guy my friend had known since KINDERGARTEN. I walked in, and he had a .12 gauge under his chin. I spent the next hour and a half trying to talk him out of it. In the end, I failed. Every day of my life I hear his final words. I had told him, Tim, I thought you loved your kids more than this." He stopped crying, looked at me, and said "Rob, I thought I did too." Those were his last words. He was a fanatical Pink Floyd fan, and every time I hear this song, it makes me feel the pain of loss so deeply all over. So I admire your ability to let the deep emotion of the music flow through you. Thank you.

[@rubberdog8763]

We've all been rocking with them since the 60s - this is normal. Their concerts were like this. We grew up with them, and yes, we still feel it in our 70s, as we did in our teens and 20s. So glad you found them.
