What is your favorite song from the Pulse concert?

It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.

As one who was at that concert I can promise you it was a "real" concert and in no way a documentary. Guy Pratt's guitar you asked about is (I believe) a headless Status Graphite 4 bass. David's solo in this video is actually edited, there is about 1 minute chopped just before the mirror ball appears, personally I like it better like this! The only people on stage who don't sing are the two drummers so that's 5 (6 in some songs) plus the 3 backing singers.

The disco ball opens to reveal the representation of a shining diamond, the significance is in its honour towards Syd Barrett.

Only three people on stage are Pink Floyd... the three older gentlemen- David Gilmour lead vocals guitar, Richard Wright keyboards, Nick Mason drummer. Everyone else are touring backup musicians and singers to help them impeccably reproduce the extraordinary sonic experience of their studio albums. I saw the show at Soldier Field in Chicago (1994) and yes, it is a full multimedia, light and three-dimensional surround sound experience with sound and sound FX coming at you from all corners of the stadium. Even pyrotechnics are involved. The full overwhelming experience is something that simply cannot be fully captured on video. Check out "wish you were here" from this same concert.

I had the opportunity to see this show on tour, and it was impressive, the best I've seen in my life (and I saw the biggest bands) and currently, despite technological and lighting advances, it remains unbeatable in my opinion. I can only describe it as impressive musicianship, superbly staged.

Hi, thanks, for this reaction! The P•U•L•S•E Concert wasn’t a documentary. Back in the day, artists like Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd put on three-hour concerts. P•U•L•S•E was actually the tour to support their last studio album, “The Division Bell”, packaged and released as “P•U•L•S•E” (the CD had a red LED that flashed, or ‘pulsed’.) Pink Floyd was a 4-piece band for much of its existence. By this point in their history, the original bassist had left. One drummer, one keyboardist, and the lead guitarist are original, the rest are tour support musicians and singers. PF was known throughout their history for their legendary light shows, and as it’s said, they blew out all the stops for this one, which they may have sensed would be their last tour together. And they surely went out on top. The disco ball has been a feature of PF shows since the ‘60’s. The story goes that an early critic said the band would never go anywhere, kids can’t dance to their music. So as a snarky response, PF included a disco ball for anyone who wanted to dance. Over the years it’s become a ‘thing’, to the point where, well……you saw it.

This remains one of the best live performances. One of the reasons it is so long as they performed Dark Side of the Moon along with more of their contemporary catalogue. This is 30 years old, pretty much. The band was always cutting edge both musically and with respect to the care they put into live performances. I was lucky to see them live 2x back in the day. Still memorable to this day. They are musicians--not rock stars--playing at the height of their powers. Consider watching the entire show--not a bad tune, plus the added feature of DSOTM.

The only thing that could possibly top Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd live. I highly recommend Sorrow from the same concert. It's a banger.

Pink Floyd was in direct competition with disco back in the day, they turned the disco ball into a squid..British humor

Saw them in 94 at Clemson Stadium and was by far the best live concert I've ever been to.

Great reaction! The disco ball dates back to the very early days of Pink Floyd, when a music critic said the band would never amount to anything, because kids couldn't dance to their music. So, as a snarky response, the band started including a disco ball in their shows 'for anyone who wanted to dance'. Over the years it's transmogrified into.....well, this.

My friends dad designed the sound system for that tour. He was the sound engineer for Allman Brothers and jimi carter and about 10 more big bands. He had a closet of real to reals that were one of a kind from hundreds of shows. We listened to them. Allman Brothers at the Ludlow garage was one of them. It was rediscovered in the late 80's.

its a standard Fender Stratocaster, with the pickups changed and Gilmour had a modification to have more combinations of which pick up is used , just 1 all 3 and all other variations.. His Black Strat is famous as he used it on most of the 70's albums recored, he sold it at Auction along with 100/200 other guitars cant remember exactly how many. It reached a record price for Any Guitar and probably most other instruments selling for $3,000,000. All the proceeds of the auction went to charity. This is the Cherry Red Stratocaster

The whole damn concert is like that. I caught it by accident on TV after midnight and I couldn't turn it off (even though I had to work next day). The lightshow was what grabbed me, then the music. I became a Pink Floyd addict overnight. The whole thing is a stunning experience, I don't think anyone's beaten it in the 30 years since.

Great reaction to this legendary performance!! I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. There were 47,000 fans and I had 18th row seats on the floor!!! In the first half of the show they played several songs from The Division Bell and other popular songs. In the second set they played the entire album of Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish, and more songs. "Comfortably Numb" was the last song of set two before the encore of "Run Like Hell" (which you should definitely check out)!! Also highly recommend checking out "High Hopes" from this same Pulse concert!! Was also fortunate to have seen them live in Austin in 1987. Again, great reaction!!!

Pink Floyd is an experiance live like no other❤I saw then in 1988 when i was 17 Epic❤

That's called a "Headless" guitar. The tuning is done at the other end. The tuning mechanism is incorporated into the bridge or just behind it.

Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. All in all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people and an initial investment of US$4 million plus US$25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average audience of 45,000.

The core of PF are traditionally four guys who do all the writing, creation and studio recordings but the live touring membership is about eight to ten members. David Gilmour (lead vocals and guitar), Richard Wright (older gent on keyboards) and Nick Mason (drums) are the only OG members on the stage. Rodger Waters who had since split from the band (bass and vocals) was the singer of the verses that the three were singing un unison in this show, oh and who was the main concept /song writer of the album The Wall which this song is from. Rodger is out doing is own thing and performing live Pink Floyd songs with His band but he does his shows as complete albums usually.

If you think that was a light show , watch "Run Like Hell" from the same concert , it has to be the greatest end to any concert EVER !

Cool reaction x I managed to see them on this tour in Rotterdam in 94. Best concert ever in my opinion. This venue is Earls Court in London where they sold out 14 nights @ 22,000 people. Can't go wrong with any song from Pulse

From the same Pulse Concert, please check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL.

I am Pink Floyd fan since my first concert 1971 ! There can not be one favorite song - it depends in what mood You are !

Hey, those lights do resemble embers, which only makes sense since PF is 🔥

Every song Pink Floyd does in this concert is at least equivalent to any other bands Grand finale!! I can say that because I've seen Pink Floyd four times in three different decades and I've seen about 100 concert with every group from ACDC to Led Zeppelin and in between alphabetically!! Nobody puts on a better show than Floyd!! They place speakers on both sides of the audience behind the audience above the audience and on the stage and basically create a giant set of headphones for the people watching the concert!! You are immersed inside of music!! You can feel the notes coursing through your body when they play!!

One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd, one experiences them. WELCOME TO THE RABBIT HOLE!

Now you have heard the best version.

Sorrow, same concert. Great lasers. Money and Great Gig. Echos, Pompeii, 1971.

When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD. The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt) 😎 Whatever it cost to go to this concert, it was worth it.🤑 Happy belated 4/20+

The PULSE show was in 1994 but the song was from 1979

That was the Best Experience of my Life, Watching Pink Floyd Live 3 and Half Hours minus a 45 minute break. And I seen that Concert in Ohio State Stadium 🏟️ with over 150 Thousand People Easy Probably closer to 200 Thousand People. College kids were buying all the Ticket stubs for 5 bucks and selling them outside for who knows how much they had to pay??? It's a Religious Experience watching them play Live. If you ever do a Pink Floyd song can't go wrong with the Live Version, nothing else comes close to David Gilmore and his Guitar crying in Song.

Half of a Pink Floyd concert is the light show. They’ve had amazing light shows since I first saw them in 1969.

Got to watch Sorrow from pulse also Money, US And Them, Time all from pulse.then finish off with Run Like Hell which they finished their pulse concert with.

try "high hopes "from the same concert

the disco ball, i assuming, is the drug the doctors prescribed (see the lyrics and the story behind the song, found by e.g. Wikipedia). Pulse was maybe the first concert with a computer controlled light show. As so often, Pink Floyd looooved to extend the boundaries of their music for the audience. Think about it: the really great albums where created in the time of 4- and 8-Track sound recording. Today it would be easy to create sounds like the once of Dark Side etc. But in those days it was a sheer miracle and the will to create something outstanding without looking on the schedules todays record companies set for bands... Just a short not for the younger generations: in those time, music was created on the length of 3.5 minutes to fit on a single record; they had a chance to be played on radio stations - some bands really didn't care about that (like Pink Floyd, Queens Bohemian Rhapsody and a few more).

great reaction dude, many suggestions come to mind but you should definitely check our Sorrow from the Pulse concert.

The big crystal ball opens and inside the diamond is shinning (Syd Barret)

you got to check out ON THE TURNING AWAY

Only Dave and Roger sing on the studio version. Dave's vocals are doubletracked in parts, and so doing it live they replicate it with one backup singer singing along with Dave. With Roger's studio part they have 3 singers harmonising live as Roger isn't in the band anymore. I think they found it difficult to replicate Roger's part just with one singer as it's a character and slightly menacing. Roger isn't the greatest singer but he was definitely unique and knew how to imbue his lyrics with a lot of emotion so he was hard to replace in that respect.

No... that's David harmonizing with the guitar. Note perfect... seen him do it a couple times live back in the 70s.

Pink Floyd takes you on a journey….

PF made their live shows as close or more than the studio, thus two keyboards, 2 guitars, a drummer and a percussion. You hardly ever see anyone doing that, for example LedZep hardly ever had session players to play the back parts that Page did. There’s not a bad song in the whole concert

Hey, Charlie Brown called, he want's his Christmas tree back! ;-]

I've heard it called a travel bass

Watch Sorrow from pulse concert Run Like Hell, Time all from pulse concert great reaction!

Just a concert filmed. Not a documentary

With the studio version you just have Rodger Waters the brilliant Lyricist and basis for Floyd who's no longer with them singing the part that sounds like a doctor talking to patient. Then you have David Gilmour the lead guitarist lead singer singing the part he's doing during this concert that he also sings on the album.

Please watch Learning To Fly from the same concert.

I was at this gig. Best track is sorrow. Check it out. Awesome

Greatest guitar solo ever

Rockumentaries

I believe they sold out Earl's Court 18 straight nights after doing a world tour with this show!

❤😊

A great concert and a great performance, but they are not "back-up" singers they are "backing" singers, sadly I lived within 20 minutes or so train ride from Earls Court but missed this performance, friends went though and were quite quiet for days, unable to describe the concert.

Hi Ace! "i'm doing my best" That is all ANY one can do **PixieHugz&LuvzToYou** ya are doing great! Except ha ya SO need a pic up on your wall behind ya of **Led Zeppelin** or even JUST **MyJimmyPageGeniusWizardBabe** heh & IF i had ANY "do re mi" I would send ya one or the "do re mi" for one BUT alas i am not in a situation of having any extra "do re mi" on me so since that is not possible instead i will just make a song suggestion (think i might have asked for this one before not sure) BUT if ya do decide to do it then ya will see where the "do re mi" comes from at least heh (unless course ya already figured it out & IF so still would luv for ya to do the song heh) k so the band is **Humble Pie** song is **Black Coffee** on "The Old Grey Whistle Test" **Thanx** for your time & consideration! **PixieTwirls**

Don't understand why you were bobbing your head 3 times faster than the tempo of the song.

I think the disco ball morphs into a lotus representing new life.

The remastered version you are watching doesnt show the true greatness of the lightshow... just my humble bumble opinion

No point talking while the music is playing because we can NOT hear you!

yeah, well I like that you discovered arguable the the best song, by pink floyd, but that fact ur making money through views, like and and comments, and not knowing how many members are actually in original PF, or what a headless bass is, or that the guy playing it is Guy Pratt, and a session musician who played with them in live shows and on album after Roger Waters left... The Drummer, nick mason, the Keyboardist Rick Rick and David gilmour are the original members of pink floyd and they were likely to have play almost everything on the original, except that background vocals. They've created the this incredible experience .... what are you actually adding to the experience ? absolutely nothing, you've done zero research and asking people for comments for likes, subscribe and comments .....
