That instrument David Gilmore played the solo on is called lap steel guitar. It sounds surreal!

The grass was greener The light was brighter When friends surrounded The nights of wonder

This song will ALWAYS make me cry! Such an incredible send off!!! Rest easy Syd!! Shine on you crazy diamond. ❣️

Gilmour is just a genius!, so smooth, clear and powerful.

A piece of art where every note is played with the outmost care. Beautiful. Agree with you. Nice reaction

For me, this is the best version of my favourite Pink Floyd song. Everyone knows the Comfortably Numb guitar solo, but IMO this is the most beautiful solo Gilmour has ever created. 100% pure emotion, and the stage + background video make it even better. Magical. Check out David Gilmour - The Blue feat. Crosby & Nash (Remember That Night). It has another magic guitar solo.

Such a sad song yet so relatable for us “old timers” wondering what happened to our youth. Cheers Ruben! 🍻🤘🏻

The song is so deep and beautifully played.

"and they have the skill to play it like there is no tomorrow" - perfect!

One of the very few songs that gives me goosebumps every time. Monumental.

A masterpiece, given a master performance. My one regret is never seeing Pink Floyd in concert.

any pink floyd is amazing. any from that pulse tour though, is just pure excellence.

Sheer perfection. It's hard to listen to any other artist or natural sound after a Pink Floyd marathon 🏃

High Hopes live in Gdansk is even better, as he added an additional acoustic solo at the end.

The guy was simply stunned! I don't blame him. One of my friends who doesn't really listen to music actively, heard this and told me that this is by far the best thing he has ever heard in his life. He was completely overwhelmed.

Beautiful composition. It has kind of a sad feel. With the years passing by I'm beginning to appreciate this music style more and more.

I'm familiar with Pink Floyd since I was maybe 6-7 years old... Since my father brought "Dark Side Of The Moon" cassette tape home... I've never turned back from them since then. Pure perfection, emotional wizards, transcendental high without drugs... Great video Ruben! Try some more Pink Floyd in your own time ;) You will not regret it. I promise. \m/

There will never be another Pink Floyd

This concert is just unbeliavable! Nightwish did a cover of this song and they did some justice to Pink Floyd with that performance. Check it out too, 👍🏻

Such a relatable song it always makes me shed a tear or two.

🇬🇧 Greetings! Pink Floyd are better than the Beatles 😊

A subtle song delivers a gut punch... not an easy task to move with such emotion through subtle means.

One of their five greatest tracks in my opinion. That's high praise for Pink Floyd. Glad you enjoyed it.

You are young and yet you feel the emotion of the song. Listen it in 10 years and it will hit even harder. MUCH harder...

Almost impossible to believe that this is a LIVE performance! Absolute perfection

How can this be topped? That song gives me the piss shivers each time I hear it. Just absolutely beautiful.

Great song....well written, emotional, and leaves you thinking!

One of the best solos by Gilmour. It touches my soul. Thank you peace ✌️

Ruben. Thank you. Wonderful song. If you want to enjoy a wonderful Pink Floyd night then try and see Australian Pink Floyd. They are amazing. They are in Netherlands in Feb 2020. Tilburg. Thank you again 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇺😀

I never tire hearing this magnum opus over and over again. Hits me hard every time!

Saw this tour at the Rose Bowl in 94. One of the best shows I have ever witnessed. Great reaction!

Pink Floyd are heritage of humanity!!! Ciao from Roma

Wow, I just cried watching this. Isn't the first time after listening to PF, and won't be the last I'm sure. But I've had a few moments today that have reminded me that I'm getting older, and things change, and I need to love the people around me. Great reaction I've loved them since I was a kid. Enjoy the journey you're on with them!

David Gilmour is one of those guitarists that don’t play the guitar, He breathes life into it

Fantastic! Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band, I guess you can start to understand why ;) I recommend you to react to Hey You, one of my favorite PF songs - and the guitar solo is just amazing. Keep it up!

It has been too long since I have heard this song, thank you for doing this one. It is so great to watch you discover Pink Floyd. Do not think there has been or will ever be another steel guitar solo like that one. David Gilmour shows his talent once again.

What a wonderful reaction Ruben! This song is kind of a farewell by them, because its the closer of their last album The Division Bell way back in 1994 (I wasn't even borne, I'm from 1995)...yes they released The endless river in 2014 but in my opinion that record is a sort of spin off of their discography. The slide guitar solo at the end is simply beyond human! Don't worry, more PF suggestion will come and I promise they will be as great as this one, or even better!

Im speechless, thank you ❤

I would highly recommend you do anything off of the Live at Pompeii DVD. Absolutely amazing

I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. There are a lot of reaction channels out there trying Pink Floyd, Led Zep, gnr and other classic rock bands but they would pause and rewind a track just to blabber in between that you as a true admirer of their art would be pissed of... Please react to Comfortably Numb, Wish you were here, Money and teachers by Floyd... They are their chart busters till date...

Yet another excellent analysis. You have very strong powers of perception. I very much appreciate your attempt at stoicism while being emotionally overwhelmed. It's a credit to your intellect.

Any Live Pulse song by Pink Floyd is amazing.

One of these Days is worth a look

I am curious Ruben.......where would you rank this song, in terms of; musicianship, composition, writing and most importantly (for me) the emotion. Now at 68, I have such a deep sense of appreciation for the wonderful times and memories I have had in my life. This song, more than any other, makes me think of my past (the good and the bad) and just be glad for all of it. It has made me who I am. The old saying is, “You can never go back”, is true, but I wouldn’t want to......I like the memories....just the way they are. Some songs make you happy, some sad......but this song makes you remember.

Lorenzo thanks for this request. I was already a fan of the studio version of the song but hadn't heard or seen the Pulse performance. Masterful.

Thank you my friend for this... truly great composition.... always loved this song...dig in Reuben, you won't ever be disappointed with Pink Floyd.... peace.

That steel guitar solo is so perfect.

That outro slide solo gets me all the time

The studio version is just as beautiful! It's clarity is astounding, but this live performance is something special! Since my mom's passing in April 2018, I never fail to get tears in my eyes when Dave hits the lap steel guitar. This song was one of her favourites (I introduced her to the Floyd), so between this, Wish You Were Here & Shine On You Crazy Diamond, it brings back fond memories of her...and a longing (or High Hopes if you will) of the day we'll meet again!! Great reaction to a stellar tune!

One of my favorite songs on Pulse. The Division Bell album was a really good album in itself. Great reaction! Great seeing your genuine feelings.

Pink Floyd are heritage of humanity!

A very beautiful and powerful song. I think you had a great point about the element of pain in their music. This one always brought tears to my eyes, what an experience it is. Bravo 👏 👍

Definitely one of the precious few groups, outside of the worlds of Classical art music or Jazz, whose creations go straight to the back of the brain, instead of just hammering away at superficial sensations or obsessing on the literal content of lyrics. They absolutely take you away to a place far richer and deeper, and that is something very very special.

Was an awesome tour..Saw it at 3 rivers stadium from down on the field.

PF fan here! Keep'em coming. (you asked)

Love listening to David play slide guitar such an amazing guitarist an human being. Why he hasn't been knighted yet I'll never know? He's done as much if not more charity work then Paul McCartney. You should definitely do more from the poles live album just an amazing album

DG makes the slide guitar beg for its life !

Technically, he is playing a peddle steel guitar (it has a volume peddle controlled with his right foot) and he calls it that. Gilmour also plays a lap steel on occasion (Meltdown concert) where a small guitar literally sits in his lap but played virtually the same as a peddle steel with a slide.

If I had the chance to use a time machine for only one time, I would choose this moment and experience this concert live.

Pink Floyd are awesome can’t beat David Gilmores guitar for emotional connection Many great songs . Thanks for not interrupting 👏

Excellent performance

What a trip, ah brotha?. xD. Fantastic.. Really fantastic.

Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

The final track on the final Pink Floyd album. What a way to go out.

Im just 1 out of 6 billion people....and i will always love PINK FLOYD........1 day i hope 6 billion do....might just change things.

breakthrough by Rick and played on "in concert David Gilmour". Is awesome, indeed.

Perfectly encapsulates the suffering of human existence! Art in its purest form.

Only seen them live once, 1973(I think) Manchester UK, Dark Side Of The Moon. It was rather good.

This song was even better performed in 2006 when David played a much longer acoustic outro to it.

and it's live.. its perfection.

YES!!!!

Might I suggest, from the same concert, the song “Sorrow”. Utterly powerful and beautiful.....masterful

Yes,forever and ever

Great song, check out the version from the Gdansk concert, it has an amazing extended acoustic outro.

I highly recommend The Australian Pink Floyd tribute band. I've seen the Floyd twice and the Australian tribute band about three times now.

Good band. They show promise!

Brit Floyd are excellent, plenty of KZfaq videos of them and well worth seeing live.

never again one in a life time there will be only one band it will never get old but we will

Wonderful! React to PF "Sorrow"

Well, there he is...The Dutchman himself. If I may recommend another Pink Floyd somg that I'm certain that you will emjoy, from this same concert, I believe, is their song "Sorrow." It is amazing. Please do yourself this favor, you won't regret a single second of it...Promise!

Awesome choice. Great band, definitely in my top 5. Dude, still hoping you will do Rush The Necromancer. You haven't done any Rush for a while, and that would be a great choice for you since it seems you really like their early stuff. I would highly recommend the version from the studio album (Caress of Steal I believe).

Love it Ruben, other react channels should learn from yours :)

When i was a kid growing up in yorkshire....cut....was a canal

I would love to see you react to Dogs of war off the momentary lapse of reason LP its a side of Pink Floyd you dont see to often The live version is even better

You react to a lot of Metal, in it's different forms, but you should throw in a prog song occasionally to balance things out. I think that changing it up is good for your channel. I hope to see more.

u should try echoes live at pompeii by them - totally mindblowing

I recommend In any Tongue live at pompeii. Take care

The ironic thing for me is when this album came out in 94 I think? I was right in the middle of my “green grass” part of life and thought Pink Floyd was “lame” and for people my parents age. Now 25 years later I hear it and it’s like “holy Christ. What happened?” 🤭

I'd love to see ypu react to "Fat old sun" Live in Gdansk by David Gilmour. I've never seen any reaction to this song, which i can't really understand. Because the song is beautiful and Gilmours solo is one of his bests ever recorded. Check it out, you won't be dissapointed

I love Pink Floyd. Especially David Gilmour. For its incredible solos and the striking timbre. They are the best without a doubt.

Sweet...

Try the live in Gdansk version of High Hopes. It has even better solo near the ending part and it is completed, not been cut unfinished like this version or the version in the album, makes much more complete experience than any other versions.

I feel the solo at the end is much more pleasing in the studio version

This is the difference. There are faster and shredded solos on guitar by others but no one is even close to the playing emotional solos like Gilmour. These emotive solos have no parallel!!!

David Gilmore..enough said

Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Comfortably Numb. Both from the same concert are my next suggestions for you. But pick anything. You won't be disappointed.

I highly recommend pink Floyd-Echos - live in Pompeii.....a fuckin masterpiece.

I'd very much like your impression of Roger Waters, Us and Them tour live, Pigs(three different ones) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles that I saw live.

Played with utmost precision

Pedal steel actually, he has a volume pedal on it.
