Every guitar wants a David Gilmour for its birthday present.

🤣 Awesome!

Love this comment!!!

[@davemcinn5375]

The best line I have ever heard for dave lmao

[@t-bagbagwell1327]

Amen

[@malcolmroe4803]

The slide guitar solo at the end is a masterpiece

[@teknotony]

The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever

[@gurra63able]

That's how I remember my youth, I think to some extent it's true but something probably has something to do with the senses being sharper then too.

[@walterwindauer5633]

Sencillamente genial!!!

[@nomdaploom]

@@gurra63able Also many of the experiences we had in our youth were new to us.

[@MorgMorg-uf6ps]

Its also the last lyrics of PF

[@SiriusSRX]

I can also say the same about my childhood, but also my first time with LSD with my best buddies and with the music of pink floyd

[@gregorysimmers]

David Gilmour said it is the story of his life. Looking back on his childhood and his career with Pink Floyd.

[@stangreen3853]

The live version of “On the Turning Away” can move mountains.

[@Sean_1970]

Concur 👌

[@robertsuitsjr6117]

Sonically, visually and emotionally there will never be another band that puts on a live show like Floyd did. Never ever, end of discussion.

[@pierrepeter5870]

That's true

[@nomdaploom]

Predicting the future with such certainty and denying others the right even to question your perceived wisdom is truly the mark of an imbecile.

[@bobymox]

Agree!!!

[@jrtruth2426]

It's definitely about time, and that bell throughout the song is a reminder of time constantly marching forward and it's important to cherish the time we have.

[@tomgallagher9358]

It's ok Carol, you say how you feel. That is what it is all about! You said it!

[@Snakebite351]

Great reaction you guys. You MUST do Great Gig in the Sky from the same Pulse concert. It will bring you to tears without a single word being spoken.

[@boroblueyes]

If you like that version, you should love the version from The Delicate Sound of Thunder. It features Rachel Fury, Durga McBroom and Margaret Taylor, and they perform it to perfection.

[@Snakebite351]

@@boroblueyes have them both👍

[@STR8L8CED]

Sam nailed it so good on that.

[@SuHo-bp1iy]

I second that motion

[@sandy_the_hippy]

Nothing but truth right here😊

comfortably numb is a story - high hopes is your story...it's beautiful and sad and hits harder the older you are. revisit this song in 20 years

[@erikj.2066]

Perfectly said man.

[@nigel7092]

"Sorrow", "Coming Back to Life", "Keep Talking" and "Run Like Hell" all from the PULSE concert 1994 you will love them all...I could go on....

[@Sean_1970]

Please do 😂

[@shaunbyrne9037]

David Gilmour plugs his soul into his amp . Floyd will take you to emotional places that will stay with you for life . A rabbit hole I've been down since the 70s and I don't intend to return . 🙂 .

[@RaymondXuereb-qi2fb]

So glad that you are enjoying Pink Floyd. I am 70 years old and have been a fan of this band form the very early stages. Pulse Concert is the best concert I have ever been. If you want spectacle then stick to Pulse for the moment. The Great Gig In The Sky is a must see because it is pure emotion without the use of words. Listen to their studio albums by any means but be sure to be in a relaxed place and listen to their albums in full, not single tracks, because they all have a story to tell.

[@rafaelorantes7185]

Shine On Crazy Diamond, from the same concert, make sure it includes the amazing intro, and maybe you’re ready for Echoes live at Pompeii, complete version!

[@stefanopongiluppi8920]

In my opinion the studio version of Shine on You Crazy Diamond is much better, also because it includes an extra guitar solo. Same thing for "Time", the original version is better than the Pulse version

[@barneymiller6204]

What is so amazing about this song is that the bell ringing is not a recording, that guy is hitting it through the whole song!

[@riff8114]

On The Turning Away, Coming Back To Life, etc etc....sooo much great Floyd this concert

[@amalamakalow782]

Learning to fly, Have a cigar

[@charleswagner2984]

On The Turning Away is not from the Pulse DVD. That amazing song is on The Delicate Sound Of Thunder DVD. That concert was filmed in 1987, the only time I saw Pink Floyd in concert. I'll never forget it. The miracle at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. The first show of The Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour.

[@stormbox]

My favourite performance of this song is from the Gdańsk concert. After the slide guitar David finishes with an acoustic guitar solo that is really beautiful. Echoes from the same Gdańsk concert is a must listen too.

[@joseoliveira4880]

Yes, it's the best version live of this song.

[@freddymo3339]

"Ohh! You feel it too !?"

[@BrunoBridges]

"Wish you were here" from the same concert..

[@agent4705]

"Pulse" was one of the most iconic concert performances ever recorded. In my time, I feel fortunate to have seen 3 historic Pink Floyd tours... Dark Side of the Moon, Animals and The Wall . One of the best bands to ever exist.

[@markanderson4338]

Can't wait until you do "Sorrow" from the pulse Concert. It will make you understand David Gilmore's iconic status

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! You can't go wrong with Pink Floyd! Nightwish did a cover of this back in the early 2000s and really does it justice. It's on yt.

[@deeteenw]

A tribute really, not a cover. And David Gilmour endorsed it.

[@danielisrael1788]

Je dirais même que la reprise/hommage est supérieure à l'original, à vous clouer et même Gilmour l'a reconnu dans un entretien. paix sur vous mon ami.......

[@flubblert]

"The endless River... Forever and ever" This has become one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Nice reaction!

[@JeanChristopheBallarini]

I just had high hopes she would carry on talking so wholeheartedly about this masterpiece of a song. Greetings to both of you. Great reaction.

[@scozz6139]

Pink Floyd is on another level all together! Dave Gilmour is an international treasure,....

[@1satisfiedmind]

They pull of the best live versions of their songs. I love your guy's set, colors, lights, and zles Pauls on the wall. Great reaction. Pivk Floyd definitely connects, almost on a soul level. The song is , to me, the human experience. Who of us doesn't long for the beaty , wond, and simplicity of child wonder surrounded by friends, lost is each moment until one day we grow up and get caught up in the rat race. I'm 64 now, and thought I live a great life, the eyes with which I see my world are different from the eyes of the child I once was. Melancholy is spot on. No one on their deathbed wishes they'd spent more time at the office or that they'd made more money. Why wait 'till our deathbed, when there's no time left, to mourn the changes we could have made, but chose not to? It reminds me of the question, how would you live your life if you knew you had only 6 months left to live life. Do that.

[@BrunoBridges]

Carol...you nailed it...👍

[@MrBazza58]

Pink floyds music never fails to stir emotions within and some songs literally give you an emotional orgasm.

[@neillenet291]

MORE Pink Floyd PLEASE

[@jondebohun9194]

your face Carol. davids songs can hit us hard. i still feel tears in my eyes listening to floyd and i am 60 now.

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

Every song ilicits a physical reaction. Their music washes over you, in waves. He's talking about youth, exactly.

[@Adventuresofwildcamping]

You two absolutely got to do more pink Floyd from the pulse concert. Please do keep talking from the same consett, you'll love it

[@MrPolleyr]

I have to say to Carol, for a young 21st century woman, you have great depth to your insight and understanding of this song. I watched your beautiful smile fade and you almost looked like you were going to cry a couple of times, as you totally understood the full meaning of this amazing piece. I also agree with you……this is Pink Floyd’s best song. All the other from this concert are all priceless, but this one reaches into your soul and brings emotions you only know as memories. The other song PF does that is on the same level as this one is,” On the Turning Away “……you must listen to it also, from the live concert in the USA around 1989 I believe. These two songs bring tears to my eyes quite often. Cheers from Canada🎉👍🎸🎶😎🇨🇦

[@AndyEdwards-ss6oe]

I'm so pleased you reacted to this one. It moves me every time I hear it. It is a masterpiece!

[@1953jazzman]

Absolutely perfect reaction, young lady! Not many people have such a grasp of the song on first listen! :)

[@fastertove]

Nightwish did a great cover/tribute to this song. An easy recommend.

[@t-bagbagwell1327]

If you mean the live version then I second it. Nightwish nailed it.

[@fastertove]

@@t-bagbagwell1327 Yes, I was referring to the live version. Thanks for clarifying that.

[@stanleymerritt4722]

So many Pink Floyd songs are "haunting" to me, in a really good way.

[@jumboJetPilot]

My favorite Pink Floyd piece - and there are many runners up!

[@christophegury4047]

beautiful feeling from carol, I with my age now, I confirm that the grass was greener when I was younger

[@shawnmcinnes565]

Carol nailed it!

[@jeffwarren4938]

That lap steel in David's hands is pure ecstasy!

[@irenegade164]

I saw them on this tour in '94 (Foxborough Stadium in Massachusetts). My Mom had died in November of '93, and I *swear* I felt her *soul* pass through me during this song.... (Rest In Peace, Mom. It was an honor to have known you...)

[@ukenupdude843]

Shine on you crazy diamond is the first song of the PULSE concert and is also amazing.

[@Kolinu2]

Always get goosebumps with so many Floyd songs.

[@keithisaacs6092]

The album Division Bell from which this song came from is amazing.

[@FooDogDat]

Wow Carol, you got it. The song is meant to “evoke a sense of mourning for the loss of idealism and childhood innocence." A yearning for what was lost, what is past. Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide High Hopes of youth lost in time to the day to day cares and responsibilities, the force of some inner tide. Yes, the music evokes melancholy, the instrument David Gilmour is playing at the end is known as a Lap steel guitar, slide guitar, or dobro guitar. David speaks more with his guitar than he does with his words. And that was just the opening number of The Division Bell concert tour set. The Pulse album and concert film was recorded on the final nights of the tours performances at Earl's Court London.

[@stephenbarrette610]

Simply one of the best of the later Floyd songs.

[@brianseccomb6731]

The guitar David is playing is called a lap steel guitar it's a form of slide guitar!

[@clivegrant4225]

You really need to do On The Turning Away next. Definitely ranks alongside this one imho.

[@chrisbanks5925]

Carol is so insightful for a first listen.

[@user-if6cp5uv8o]

Great reaction! More Pink Floyd! You won’t regret it!

[@PetitP7789]

Lebanese here, my friend's uncle told us he wants us to listen to a PF album in 1991, it was a revelation, an experience even though English is my third spoken language.. i get emotional everytime i listen to them untill today, so much that i've recently made a tattoo of their vinyl cover as a tribute to my late father.. I'll see you on the dark side of the moon dad.

[@goncalocarvalho4917]

pink floyd touches the soul

[@filipzielinski]

I love that you love this! Speaking of Time, listen to that one and get reminded yet again of the passage of time and life but also the beauty of it all 🙌

[@marcusvinipinheiro1]

No words after the song... no words.

[@simply_psi]

I agree, this is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs, this, Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts I-V are my favourites, but where there are great live versions of the first 2, the studio version is by far the best with Shine on You Crazy Diamond. And yes, it is about the passage of time and mourning the loss of childhood innocence, and again spot on about the solo on the Fender Lap Steel guitar packed full of meaning and emotion.

[@arnoldcox9128]

Pink Floyd is magic

[@HattemAlHajry]

The song "Sorrow" live from Pulse is a masterpiece.

[@ivanmedina2334]

1. PINK FLOYD=GOD LEVEL 2. Then the rest of the Rock bands of the whole musical Universe around the world and maybe the entire Universe.

[@Mhantrax]

While I, un my fifties, have made my peace with the changes over the course if my life. As a kid, I had friends, we played, we imagined and we lived in the moment. It was amazing, and it was the very foundation of the rest if my life. But I cry to this song. Not for me, but fior my extroverted, social amazing 10 year old daughter. Her childhood has been nothing but frustration trying to make friends. And none of them are capable of imaginating, living in the moment and daily play, just play. The very thing she holds most closely as a value, she just can't have in this current era. She is denied all of these things. Sometimes because if ridiculously overprotective parents. Or kids who stay inside most of the time. Or most of all, kids who just don't seem to know how to play, to just... play, or even to socialize. She was born in a socially sterile era where childhood fun amd friendship has been commoditized. For this I am sad.

[@charloacc727]

Please react to the Nightwish Cover of this song from End of an Era tour

[@GuitarPat68]

Watching you guys react to songs that I've loved for many years makes me feel it "for the first time" ..again !! Keep it up ! Stay with Floyd for a while !

[@foxdogsourdough]

Great reaction from you both. Watching Carol's face as the song progressed, told so much.

[@keithdavo]

yes. carol articulates exactly how I feel about this song.

[@goonerliciousbreedtv937]

Pink Floyd are not a rock band, they're a journey you get taken on! Thank you both for your love & energy towards this iconic group, so pleased to see they're still touching hearts. ✌️😎💯 (Song Option: 2019 remastered Live version of "On The Turning Away"! Or Sorrow Album: Pulse Live version!🙏

[@grassrootsflshp]

About to suggest the same! Good choices.

[@georgeseanor]

i bought the CD the day it was in the stores. to this day i still get emotional over this song. and i was fortunate to see this performed live on the tour for this album

[@genegiusti6239]

Carol, you are exactly correct on the meaning of the song and the difference between this and Comfortably Numb. Comfortably Numb is a very personal experience by one person which may not be relatable to everyone. Lyrically.High Hopes is more universally relatable. We all go through these experiences in our life, the hopes and dreams of our youth and the regrets we face in our later years of what we may have missed or what life has become. I saw them twice on this tour and I was in my late 20's. I loved the song and understood its meaning, but now in my late 50's the song has a much deeper meaning. Great reaction!! Looking for another Pink Floyd song...just pick anything from that concert, you cannot go wrong.

[@busher69]

Pink Floyd touches every fiber of your soul and triggers every emotion known to mankind.

[@michaels6496]

Bravo Carol!! Your understanding and interpretation was outstanding especially after only 1 listen! Most people require a few listens to "get it".

[@davidspring5013]

Yup you nailed it exactly your faces said it all as the song ended priceless

[@JuniorFarquar]

Saw them 2x in 86 and 91, I think. Both outdoors. 9th row and 11th row. We might have misbehaved a little too much back then, but the statute of limitations has run out, so now...not guilty!!

[@allanmcmillan5745]

Great reaction, it's a beautiful performance and I love it when people get the full emotional weight of the song. It was emotional to see how much you loved it.

[@algraham5695]

Hi Folks good reaction. Sorrow, from Pulse is mind blowing. It’s the greatest ensemble piece ever imo, the whole band and lighting guys are as one….phenomenal…..

[@andred1951]

Even when they're doing a slow song they have a certain intensity that no one else can do

[@DenneyJay]

Great reaction as always. The band Nightwish does a GREAT cover of this song.

[@OrangeMonkey2112]

I love that song. That little ant made things happen man. "He's got high hopes. He's got high hopes. He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes." Greatet song ever. Even Frank Sinatra sung it. Good times, good times.

[@theivory1]

This is my favorite by them. Eclipse is a close second.

[@davehadley3567]

PF always manages to give me goose bumps… And each track can be more powerful and emotional depending on how your own personal previous few hours have been.

[@KenCyrus-tb3nh]

Comfortably Numb had always been my favorite until On the turning Away and High Hopes came out. All three have amazing solos.

[@greenghani]

Great reaction, especially from the beautiful woman! 😊

[@boxmulla]

Gilmour playing guitar is magic alive

[@seanhaywood4597]

well done guys, im pleased that youare enjoying your pink floyd journey, there are so many more great pink floyd songs for you to try, id recommend that you stay with the live pulse concert and try " TIME " or "SORROW" or "WISH YOU WAS HERE", im sure that you will enjoy them all aswell as many more,

[@stefanopongiluppi8920]

The studio version of Time is much better

[@stevekoelliker6764]

This original is great. You should also check out Nightwish’s version of High Hopes. It’s a tribute to Pink Floyd more than a cover. If you haven’t heard Nightwish they are normally a female fronted symphonic metal band but their version of High Hopes is an older recording and their bassist Marko is on vocals. Highly recommend. If you end up liking Nightwish then move on to the song Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 (German music festival pronounced Vacken). You won’t be disappointed.

[@mamaflush9945]

This was such a great reaction! Thanks guys. And just remember guys many a person has shed tears while listening to one or more songs by Pink Floyd. I know I have it only shows how musically gifted this band is. (IMhO) I would like to suggest another one of their songs from the same concert, if interested. "Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky (Pulse Restored & Re-Edited" (by the channel: Pink Floyd) --This song is the fifth track from the album called "The Dark Side of the Moon" released in 1973 and allows the legendary Clare Torrey to showcase her wonderfully skilled vocals, alongside Richard Wright's beautiful and iconic keyboard playing. And as always, I enjoyed rocking with you. Thanks for sharing.peace out~

[@rudymorganti7155]

PF,always so deep and true. Beautiful. Thank you and hugs from Italy.💯❤️🇮🇹

[@balthazartrumpi6808]

You guys should keep reacting to songs from this great Pulse concert, each one is fantastic. If you want more haunting beauty, try Wish You Were Here or Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Then get a taste of their faster stuff: Sorrow, Run Like Hell, and One Of These Days. But you really can't go wrong with any song you choose from this stunning concert by the great Pink Floyd. Enjoy!

[@spacebace]

I've never heard that before, thank you. Quite a wow tune.

[@fircykfircyk488]

Hey man. Show her whole PULSE concert. It is a MASTERPIECE. One of the best concerts that human being can play. Show her also ON THE TURNING AWAY live.

[@stopbunsen]

This song represents that saying, "you can never go home again". Home not really being a place, more like a feeling you had when you were young that you'll never recapture because everything changes including yourself.

[@forlorndream1400]

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, there's a hunger still unsatisfied. Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon, go down this road we've been so many times. The song is a warning. Don't throw away the life you have by chasing dreams. You'll lose everything, be alone and you'll never be satisfied.

[@TheFremenBlue]

You guys nailed it. As an old guy who's been listening to PF for 50+ years, this song bites harder with each passing year. Yes, it's both universal and about David looking back on his life and career - regrets, melancholy, yearning for sweeter times, it's all there. It's so special to me, I've asked my loved ones to play it at any memorial service for me.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

David strikes me as rather a melancholy soul in general…..I truly hope that he is happy and content in his life now…….Roger just strikes me as angry all the time.

[@TheFremenBlue]

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 I agree. Looking from afar, I think David finds his happiness in his family and his music. Roger is a bundle of ego and anger, and probably not happy. It's clear which one stokes the "feud" - Gilmour never says anything about it unless it's in response to something Roger said, or an interview question. But the good news is, Gilmour is favoring us with one more solo album in September - I'm so glad he hasn't hung it up for good! If he tours, I'm willing to spend a lot and travel far to see him.

[@benjiownman6821]

great reaction!! ❤ "the wall" of course is also a deep masterpiece. 💪☝️

[@bobymox]

The lirics are fantasy,great song!!!!

To give you an idea of how great pink Floyd are, when Ren hit no. 1 in the UK pink Floyd was at no. 7 with dark side of the moon. 50 years later. Now that's a sign of a legend

next one from Pulse concert - Coming Back to Life . and On the turning away ( live to the Delicate sound of Thunder concert 1988 - 1990 )

[@geoffreynolds8835]

As a Old Person . This Band was the TOPS in my life , along with Joe Cocker, and Frank Zappa and Bob Marley and of course the Kinks and Rolling Stones. And throw in a bit of Velvet Underground and others.

[@vjc812]

You hit it right on the head, sweetie. That’s what it is the passage of time and how things will seem much better when you were younger… The innocence of youth And it’s OK if this song has more meaning to than comfortably numb the thing would comfortably numb is. The concert version is twice as long as the studio version and the way they made it and to play it like that was amazing. That’s why everyone loves it, but I understand that and this might mean a lot more to you , it’s the same for me😊❤️

[@bobymox]

One of best Davids songs.👍✌🏼

[@obstantiadiscindo]

I just love his reaction to all these Pulse renditions....he really feels it. Awesome to think that generations will be getting the same joy from the band's music long after they (and us!) have shuffled off our mortal coil...
