Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, 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, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Scott Page” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS

Best Pink Floyd Songs performed live for me are "Comfortambly numb" and "High Hopes" (the first one for the final solo and the second one for... everything) both from the PULSE concert back in 1994 (Its the exact same consert on this video)

I really like "Run Like Hell" from this same show. It's an encore that closes out the concert with a bang. Highly recommend it.

I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… 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 froged 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… Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.

For those who do not know where the name “Pink Floyd” came from…… Syd Barrett - original founder of the band had two favorite Blues Guitar Players in his record collection, two black men, “Pink Anderson and Floyd Council”. One came from North Carolina, (Pink) the other came from South Carolina, (Floyd).

“For Millions of years mankind lived just like the animals, until something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination, we learned to talk” - Opening line in “Keep Talking” - Pink Floyd. I consider it one of the all time greatest songs ever written.

On The Turning Away live from 1988 is one of my favorites.

Pink Floyd - High Hopes - Live PULSE Great song with a great performance from a great band. Keep Floyd comin. They have been my favorite band since my dad introduced them to me when i was in middle school.

“One of these days” and “Run”

As an older lady that was listening to these as they came out and many times at the skating rink, I hope your dream comes true cause ain't nothing like listening to PF and dancing around the rink! This Pulse concert was so good had to see it twice in 2 different states. I've seen and skated to a lot of bands but they don't get any better than PF. Seen Zeppelin too and no comparison IMO.

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are both amazing and very different (from each other).

The Pulse concert is the greatest concert that I've ever seen performed by anyone, period.

Beginning of this concert outdoors with the helicopter noise. With 4 sets of 28 speakers around the stadium the music was swirl in circles . people wood be looking up because it sounded like they where there. Opening of Roger Water of Pink Floyd's song of "the wall' concert will give you a taste of what the concert like. you tube " in the flesh' ( live) ( from Roger waters " The Wall" ( digital video) very rare to see a vid. from this concert that isn't a bootleg. Guarantee you will want to see the whole concert. MANY awards from this.

Will NOT picture myself skating while listening to this song.

Hi from KC. I really enjoy your reactions please keep them coming. For live concerts there is Pink Floyd and then there is everyone else a couple notches below. No one comes close to the sensory overload that is a Pink Floyd concert. The best period!!

DEFINITELY one of the best bands!! I’ve always loved the lines at the end when the Headmaster yells “If you don’t eat yer meat you can’t have any pudding; HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON’T EAT YER MEAT!!!!!”

My 3 favorites are "Comfortably Numb" and "Sorrow" at Pulse 1994, and "High Hopes" in Gdansk (David Gilmour solo concert).

This song has so many memories. In hs we had a walkout after winning state basketball... A bunch of us called the school to sing this to whoever answered the phone... Good times.

RUN LIKE HELL from the Pulse Concert is outstanding. Buckle your seat belt.

I saw Pink Floyd Live in 1987 at Tampa Stadium and then again in 1994 at Clemson Stadium.....AWESOME!

I was there in 1980 Nassaua colissuim!!!! Only 4 shows in 4 different places in the world!!! I was there 15 years old!! As we were coming into the stadium people handed out 300 dollars asking for our tickets.. You know how much money that was back then?? ALOT!!! Did not give up my ticket

The only real way to experience this song, is not watching a live vid. You Must Watch the MOVIE "The WALL". not a video, not a live performance, not a single. The Movie of the Entire Album from start to end. IT IS THE ONLY WAY. Keep up the journey my Man. Is a joy to see.

I think Van's reliving his life dancing on roller skates being master at his own party in his head!

Watch the song “sorrow” live at Pulse concert

pink floyd is my favorite band for over 40 years best live was when i saw them in concert best ever :)

Pulse concert any song. Coming back to life and learning to fly and comfortably numb come to mind. You're correct this is a great skating song!

Check out Run Like Hell from the Pulse concert! You will love it. It’s the finale of the concert you are watching.

My favorite?? "Coming Back to Life" from the PULSE concert. 3 guitar solos.

Wish you were here, keep talking, sorrow, fuck it, everything from this concert. Every song is incredible

My favourite "Live" Pink Floyd show is "Comfortably Numb" at the Pulse Concert in 1994.

My fav live clip is about 22 mins long. It's the Floyd reunion, I believe it was at Live 8, in the early 2000s. They did 4 songs. Epic seeing Waters and Gilmour together on stage again. Sadly, the drummer (I believe it was the drummer, apologize if I'm wrong) died a few weeks later after the reunion.

The Wall album changed my life, there's nothing like it before or since

Skating to this song been there done that😊Good times for sure back in the 70’s and early 80’s😊

Another great one is Pigs, three different ones, and Brain Damage which flows right into the song Eclipse from the Pulse tour.

Some of my first memories of this song are at the local skating rink.

Roger waters the wall tour...I think what you want to look for is roger waters the wall" the trial".10/6/2010 last song and then the wall they have been building on stage through out the show..they tare it down with a bang! Super cool live experience.

I I flew away on roller skates with Pink Floyd in my Walkman .

Pulse concert, "Run Like Hell", and "Sorrow" Also, you're absolutely right, great skating song!

The live show alone is why Pink Floyd is at the top of the over 50 concerts Ive been to since the mid 70s . My top 5 concerts ever Pink Floyd in Detroit then in Cleveland then in Toronto then in Buffalo then In Detroit again lol For Pulse and Momentary lapse of reason where they dropped a bed across the arena into the back of the stage. Dogs of War is my fav a dark side of Pink Floyd you dont see to often

I seen this live at Earls Court on the 2nd night and still have my ticket stub along with so many other Floyd tickets

The Pulse concert is my favorite of theirs.

All of them Pulse tour live which is what this is from Comfortably Numb Great Gig in the Sky All of them !

Hello, Way back... Tenerife... listening to this on a Walkman. I was into Floyd from the beginning. Once heard... never forgotten! What an appreciated reaction. Take care... Tony.

Shine On You Crazy Diamonds is a must.....

I grew up in Detroit. I used to skate a LOT....never thought of this as a skate song. But now that you mention it....I can see it.

Run like hell from the same concert,pulse 94,best concert I’ve ever seen or ever will.enjoy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You got hours and hours of reactions in front of you, my friend :)

Comfortably Numb In the PULSE Version, the guitar solo is the GOAT. Or The TURNING AWAY in the Delicate Sound Version Live

You should react to Pink Floyd's movie "The Wall" it's trippy af

Their shows were amazing!

The entire Wall concert..at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood....sadly no longer there...but it was great in its day. Home to the Lakers as well. When the Wall comes down at the end of the concert was pretty epic...have been to maybe a 100 concerts in y life. my three Pink Floyd shows rank up near the top....all great.......

I actually did roller skate to this song, at the Bowie-Crofton roller rink. LOL

If you like the Floyd, and you want to hear more of them live, you can pick anything you want from the Pulse concert and you won't be disappointed.

I have roller skated to this song lmao.

you're right , best band of all times 😎👍

Pulse from Earls Court London

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound Of Thunder 1988 LIVE concert also remix version from 2019

Check out how long the Dark Side of the Moon charted...........think it is a record.

Pink Floyd live performance to watch: "Final 'Echoes' performance with Richard Wright" in Gdansk. This is a song from Floyd's 1971 album 'Medle'. Pink Floyd's David Gilmore and Richard Wright's last time performing it before Richard passed away and it's brilliant!

Pink Floyd number one ..........Zep number two in my book; I love Coming Back to Life...........same Pulse concert................also Sorrow........

Sorrow is amazing. One of the greatest solos at the end!!!!!!

Pink Floyd Shine on you crazy diamond

The PULSE performance of Comfortably Numb (video) is excellent.

This brings me back to my high school days I can remember this song while driving to school playing it load thinking I was really kool!! But I wasn't really kool!!

Pulse concert is my favorite

Pink Floyd IS my favorite rock band EVER!!!!

Omg skating! I grew up roller skating in the 70s! I went like 3 times a week! And yes this was a great song to skate to! I was one of the fastest girls on the rink when they did the “all girls” skate! My big brother worked there and I got to stay late after closing many times while they swept and cleaned up. I felt so special. Man I loved it!!

If they happen to come your way, Brit Floyd does an amazing tribute to Floyd in all of their shows. Worth the $50-$60 ticket. I've seen them twice and both shows were over two hours and they usually carry a Floyd-type theme such as doing the Wall album or going back in the day and performing Dark Side. Super talented band .

Pink Floyd is definitely one of the best groups ever. I believe if everyone just listened to a few specific ones from them that they would learn so much. I was lucky enough to see them in Tampa back in the early 90s (Division Bell tour) when I was 15. One of My Turns and The Trial are my favorite from The Wall album. But honestly the entire album is a masterpiece. And they played this one every weekend at the ice skating rink. 😁

Pink Floyd run like hell

Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert.

Another great live performance is from this same show. Sorrow is an amazing song with more amazing guitar.

In your own time watch the Pulse 94 concert all through. It's amazing. Saw them in Pasdena 😎

The best way to experience the wall is the full album in 1 sitting for the story.

To me this is more relaxing, having some good smoke and drink and chillin with some friends.

One of these days from this concert is amazing. It doesn't have lyrics but it's amazing watching David Gilmore play the slide guitar ( I think that what it's called)

favorite: "comfortably numb : live pulse 1994" - but you did that already ..... try "one of these days" and "run like hell" from the same show.

Thanks. Your reaction was very enjoyable to watch. Good times. I found you through your Sublime reactions. Thanks again.

If you haven't checked it out yet, I suggest 'Sorrow' from the Pulse concert.

Hey Van. Love your podcast. You have to watch them play Run, live in Pompei. It’s amazing.

Oh Yeah, “High Hopes” from Pulse, mostly because of the Peddle Steel Guitar.

The best live Pink Floyd is seeing them June 28 1975 Hamilton Ontario Canada. Other than that can't pick a favorite video since anything they do is good.

Comfortably Numb live from 1994, from this same show.

Van, you gotta see live at Pompeii. Pink Floyd, plays in an ancient stadium that is empty.

Oooh VAN!!!! I have ALWAYS said if I won the lottery I would build a kick ass roller rink and run it; that’s my dream. I Still skate! Saturday night is adult night at Roller Jam in Staten Island; has a bar too!!!! 🛼🛼🛼🛼🛼 Best song I ever skated to was there about 3 years ago; a Timmy Regisford remix of Gladys Knight and the Pips “Got to use my imagination” at about 1:00 in the morning; Heaven 🔥

FYI Marco Hietala the bassist for Nightwish sings High Hopes from these guys and its awesome

Echoes from live in Pompeii is Epic

That's actually a really beautiful image ;) You and you're beloved skating around to Floyd Nice :)

next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning away ( live to the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert 1988 ) and Coming Back to life ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) = 3 guitar solo 😎👍

Bro, you should watch the movie. Trippy visuals. In my late 30s was the first time I watched it sober lol. Grew up in the 70s so I remember this well.

Live at Pompeii!

Anything from the Live 8 concert. Wish You Were Here is my personal favorite.

Do 'Comfortbly Numb' live from the Pulse concert. It's unreal.

Pink Floyd's best live performances: "Comfortably numb" (1994)... 'Us & them' (1994)... 'Learning to fly' (1989) ... 'Run like hell' (1994) ... 'One of these days' (1972) ... 'Dogs of war' (1989)... 'Sorrow' (1989)... 'Set the controls for the heart of the Sun' (1972)...

Pink Floyd 🥰❤️😍

You should check out the Australian pink Floyd show so close to the real thing and are always touring world wide, they even performed at David Gilmore birthday

Listen Pink Floyd live in Pompeii 1971, the song Echos, it is epic

Check out"Comfortably Numb" from the live Pulse your in 94.

If you have not yet, please review High Hopes from the Pulse concert.

Empty Spaces/Young Lust is a great “stand alone” GROOVY tune from The Wall- I highly recommend, i think you’ll really love it-studio version
