This song is about the homeless, which is something Gilmour really cares about. He sold one of his homes for almost 4 million and gave it all to a homeless charity.

This song is a heart FULL of love for his fellow man.

Great reaction matey..! My brother passed away 5 years ago and this was he’s favourite song..I can’t come across this song without it leaving me a wreck..Brilliant powerful song 🙏🙏🙏

This song has an important message and features one of my favorite David Gilmour guitar solos. In my opinion, this live version is much better than the studio version. The extended guitar solo at the end is thrilling to listen to (as are the background singers).

Comfortably Numb may be the greatest guitar solo, but this one is my favourite. It is a rare gilmour solo in terms of mood.

The GREATEST PINK FLOYD MASTERPIECE after Roger Waters left the band ..!! I was so blessed to be at Earls Court in London in 1994 (The Pulse Tour) and the night I was there I got to see Floyd play this ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SONG LIVE..!! Last track of Set 1 before the Half-Time Interval..!! They played the song for over 10mins with Gilmour's solo at the end of the track lasting over 6/7mins long 🫶 it brought tears to my eyes as I was praying that they would play "On The Turning Away ", because for the 10 nights at Earls Court they hadn't played it once..!! And it is my absolute FAVOURITE PINK FLOYD SONG since Roger Waters had left the band in 1985..!! Gilmour's guitar solo can best be described as a song without lyrics but his Solo sounds and plays with all the emotions and spine-chingingling of something more powerful than singing lyrics..!! If anyone can name a fellow artist who can make a Guitar SPEAK just through strumming the guitar 😂and play it like it's talking to you with INCREDIBLE POWERFUL EMOTIONS.!! QUITE SIMPLY NOBODY CAN MIMIC GILMOUR'S GUITAR PLAYING..!! SIMPLY SAID..!! AN ABSOLUTE GENUI3

Yes, peaceful at first; then the lyrics deliver the "Five Point Palm Exploding Conscience Punch." Floyd was not just a psychedelic band; it packed powerful messages to all societies in its songs and entire albums. "No more turning away from the weak and the weary. ... Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?" Pretty much a commentary on our world's current situation.

Those first few lines he sings make me cry, too. It’s so beautiful.

The best way to experience Pink Floyd is headphones on and eyes closed. Watching the videos is fun too but if you close your eyes you might actually levitate.

Pink Floyd is so vast in style . . . that it is difficult to pin any one of their songs for review. Some to look at . . . Wish You Were Here . . . The Great Gig in the Sky . . . One of These Days . . . Comfortably Numb . . . Learning to Fly . . . ALL OF THESE SHOULD BE REVIEWED IN THEIR LIVE VERSIONS. I have had the privilege to see these guys live . . . 5 times from 1974 to 1979

I was fortunate to have seen this performed live , enjoy your Pink Floyd journey dude !

Filmed at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island NY, 1988....they played 5 nights so the concert had songs from all 5 nights, me, after 15 years of wanting to see them but never had, this was my one chance so I tore ass to make sure I got tickets and I did, about 15 feet of center right if you're looking from the floor, 22nd row...gotta say awesome and that round screen is massive, nobody missed Roger Waters that night.

This live album came out in 1988, when I was 14. It was my gateway into Pink Floyd, in a journey that keeps on going to this very day. In the Pulse tour, I was there, a grown man in college, in a sea of faces, almost crying my eyes out during this and other timeless classics. Keep your journey going young one, It will be worth it.

From the PULSE CONCERT, check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL.

Just extend your hand and help lift someone up who is less fortunate. A simple message delivered masterfully.

I seen Pink Floyd in Detroit this tour.Took a limo all from Grand Rapids Well actually Pontiac Michigan"..there was a band named Pink Floyd."David Gilmour

An amazing performance from an amazing concert. Anything from the Pulse concert is an absolute gem. As i said before, their music will take you away everytime. Great reaction, glad you enjoyed. Much love&respect❣

They hypnotized everybody, that's why when you see a gigantic audience watching a Pink Floyd concert in the middle of the song very few people are actually moving! Go back to the 1994 Pulse concert and watch them perform "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" which is what they open the concert with!! Or try an incredible song called "High Hopes", another beyond beautiful song with David playing the lap steel guitar for his solo!!!! Or a synthesizer song replicating a nightmare at an airport watch them play the song from Dark Side of the Moon "On the Run" during their 94 Pulse concert to watch a full-size airplane crash into the stage and explode!!!!!

Dig ya brother grateful band great song keep on keeping on 🍄🇺🇲🌍🍄🔥🍄

Beautiful guitar, beautiful lyrics and the beautiful Rachel Fury, what more can anyone want? One of my favourite PF tracks. Nobody can make a guitar cry like David and nobody can make people cry with his guitar like David.

People make that same facial expression when Margaret Taylor hits that awesome high note.

A masterpiece and a toss up between this and "Comfortably Numb" as the best solo.

That entire concert is a masterpiece. This song, their best imho, also presents David's best solo with due respect to Comfortably Numb.

Listen to it again and read the lyrics along with the song. On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite in a silent accord Using words, you will find, are strange Mesmerised as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?

brilliant

Remarkable performance! I was fortunate to see them play this live earlier on this tour and it was an incredible experience to be there live. Hey, I don’t know how you take requests for new bands but I have a current band that will blow your mind and entertain you immensely. Have you heard of Band-Maid? Don’t let the outfits fool you, they are top-flight musicians and I think you love them. Try their songs - “Domination” - official live video - “Freedom” - official live video - “Influencer” - official MV If these don’t peak your interest, I’ll be surprised. Then, like bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush and Yes, they have a catalog of 100+ great songs to enjoy. Take care and rock on 🤘🏼

Great reaction thanks

Pink Floyd brings out so many emotions! Good and bad, just like life. But oh so beautiful! This song is one of their best.

Like you man you know never interrupt David Gilmore's guitar solo, keep it up bro

You can ANY song from "Dark Side of the Moon," "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals" and much of "Meddle" though the live at Pompeii version of "Echoes" truly rocks.

to each their own. Imagining someone who listens to the music but doesn't listen to the words as much is like going to a play and liking the music and props more than the dialogue. At least this time he didn't say anything about what parts of the song he preferred.

DOGS OF WAR As a next Pink Floyd reaction.

Great reaction. Try to check out the live version of ONE SLIP. I believe it is from the same concert as your reaction to On the Turning Away.

If you almost cried reacting to this song, you will cry to ‘High Hopes’

I like tthe Delicate Sound of Thunder concert video nearly as much as Pulse. As for this song I prefer this one because you can a couple things David does as he plays. Especially at about 8:30 he does a small "tap" to fret a string with a finger on his pick hand. It is a small thing, but it just adds so much. As a guitar payer those things always catch my eye. Great reaction!!

Pink Floyd draws you in, and transports you to different places, places you have never been to. Some more obscure PF tracks you should listen to are "If", from Atom Heart Mother; "Free Four", "Wot's, uh, the Deal", and "Obscured by Clouds", all from Obscured by Clouds (the title track is an instrumental); the title track of the album Wish You Were Here (not obscure, and no, it's not about Syd Barrett, though David Gilmour has said he can't perform the song without thinking about Syd - the song is actually about the inability to grasp or deal with reality); "The Great Gig in the Sky", and "Brain Damage/Eclipse" (together, look for the video that has both, they belong together), which are both from Dark Side of the Moon (one of the greatest conceptual albums of all time). "Great Gig" is an absolute must listen, try to find the original studio version, with Claire Tory, other artists have done the song justice, but Claire is the OG... Fun Fact, DSotM spent more time on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart than any other record in history. It's recorded 966 weeks on the Top 200 since 1973... second place is Bob Marley, "Legend" with 765 weeks...

Bet you would love to listen dogs of war,live, from the Pink Floyd Album Delicate Sound of Thunder.

You should kick back to the final concert of PF during their Pulse tour.

U need to react to Pink Floyd pulse 94 live concert. Run like Hell.It was the finale of the concert!! Truly amazing!!The light show like on Floyd can do!!

Powerful

Hey Risby, you’re reaction came up because this is one of my favourite songs. I’m staring now and will get back to you in a few. Now that I’ve watched I want to just say a few things. I liked how didn’t didn’t embellish how you were into it. I could tell you liked it, but it would have been fine even if you didn’t. You come across as a really good dude. I hope to see more reactions from you. Cheers.

Do a reaction to great gig in the sky from the same concert ( delicate sound of thunder ) as them three girls nail it

Poles Apart & A Great Day for Freedom are a good choice, Both from the Division Bell Album!

Material things don’t mean alot when u see people homeless n hungry. It’s so sad that this issue cannot be done with here in the states n everywhere

You want to watch this......4 black brothers with a white drummer created this ICONIC Masterpiece from the 60’s Psychedelic Era Trust me…. You do not want your life to end without hearing this song. “TIME HAS COME TODAY“- The Chambers Brothers - Album Long version, then Live. PLEASE and Thank You. 1,595,600+ views so far.

Its wonderful, as good as, if not better than Comfortably numb Its so well written and produced, down to the three ladies, singing that raises it to another level

I greatly admire the respect you show to these artists and to your viewers. The fact that you give a thumbs up to show your appreciation instead of pausing the video is much appreciated. THANKS. If you're looking for other music in this genre, turn your attention to Genesis. Here are some songs you might be interested in: "Firth of Fifth", "The Cinema Show + Aisle of Plenty" together, "The Battle of Epping Forest", without forgetting the monumental "Supper's Ready".

héhé . thank you bro . 😎👍 you make my day 🙋‍♂ when you can , react to Iron Maiden - Alexander the Great ( with lyric ) = good history lesson . 😎👍

Pls react to fearless with lyrics thanks my fav pf song

I still maintain that the Scorpions were heavily “inspired” by this song for their Wind of Change, just consider that the title is a line in this song plus it’s a few years older

Hi can you react to... yet another movie from the same concert as this one you won't regret it and turn it up full blast too 💪

If u down with PF , recommend Nightwish and Sabaton...neither genre-retically like Floyd, both both huge rabbitholes with great music

May KZfaq react tô Pink Floyd, Pulse, US and Them, or Great Gig in The Sky?

you really should have done the BEST non band video.. Pink Floyd "on the away' ( 1989-07-15)FM by think floyd61 *************over 8 million views. that will make you cry. check out David Gilmours last time playing at " Live at Pompeii""Comfortably numb" over 150 MILLION views

Your microwave is blinking, I think your food is ready

Quiet please Mr Gilmour’s guitar is speaking

Not need to talk so loud and wave your hands around, calm down.
