As a guy who is 60+ years old and got to see all the great bands live over the years...it is genuinely enjoyable to me watching the younger folks experience this performance for the first time. Your reaction was awesome.

Considered to be the greatest guitar solo in music history. Run Like Hell is the next and final song of the concert...all the stops are pulled out. Thanks for not pausing this masterpiece.

His name is David Gilmour. There are few perfect things in this world. A sunset, a new born baby, and this solo. I heard a fan say that you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. Sounds exactly like what you described. Next song of theirs you should react to is Time.

There's this serious sound to Pink Floyd. It's like listening to wise elders that know life's secrets.

The best solo in live of the history

This wasn't the show closer actually, they upped the spectacularity for the encore "Run Like Hell", explosive performance

You just witness one of the greatest guitarist of all time!:)) Glad you liked it:)

David Gilmour is the guitarist.

I WAS there (well, for two of the twelve nights they played Earls Court) and you're absolutely right - it is one of the best gigs I have ever been to and we still talk about it to this day.

You: "Imagine being there" Everyone who wasn't: "Agreed!"

Jayshara is broadening her music horizon which is wonderful

I saw this twice on the pulse-tour. Mindblowing. Best live performance I ever saw in my life. I stood under the ball and was completely in another world, it s impossible to describe.

I was there and that wasn't the finale. Run like hell was the final song. A completely awesome concert. Their sound system is quadraphonic and powerful enough for an Olympic sized stadium. Mind-blowing to say the least.

David Gilmour hits that 2nd solo he makes you feel it, not only hear it. Probably one of the best, if not the best solo ever. Thank-you for reacting to this! I look forward to more from you!

The great gig in the sky , I promise it is mesmerizing… another Pink Floyd classic

"Can you imagine being there?" Four times. It changed my music life. For the finale of the concert, check out "Run like Hell' from the same pulse concert. It will not disappoint you.

I continue to be constantly amazed by reactions to this song and performance, I saw this tour in Foxboro MA in 1994 and there were times we thought the whole stadium was going to take off into space! One of the 5 Greatest Bands in any musical genre and David Gilmour is as good as any guitarist you will ever hear 🎸

"Can you imagine being there?" Don't need to. I can just remember. Saw them on two different tours, and both were amazing. I literally never left my seat the whole show. No beer, no hot dog, just wanted to catch every second of it.

I was at several concerts on this Pink Floyd tour , in NY and LA, the whole vibe was insane I literally melted into my seat.

I absolutely LOVE watching people's first exposure to David Gilmour. He gets a vocal, lyric quality out of his guitar that I've never heard from anyone else. The 2 guitar solos here often bring people to tears, they're so evocative and they're often touted as the finest solo work of any guitarist, ever. Enjoyed your reaction.

Yes, imagine being there... and that was just one song. I've been lovin' on this band for decades, and will keep on 'til I've moved on to the great gig in the sky.

I saw them perform this song, (as well as all the other songs), on The Wall Tour back in '81-'82. When they played this song 'the wall' was built and the band was playing behind the wall but David Gilmour, (the guitarist/singer here), appeared on top of the wall, backlit by a spotlight when the solo started. Spectacular!

As beautiful as David’s voice is it is when his guitar begins to emote that the true voice of his soul sings.

When the disco ball opened the crowd absolutely lost their minds!

I saw this somewhere but it's always true ... There is something very special about seeing young people react to this 40 year old song [performed by a 70 year old man. Goosebumps form on the arms and neck of anyone that hears this song, whether it is the first time or the 10,000th time.

I've watched several reactions to this and noted that the guys fall silent and get chills. The girls go silent, get chills and cry. PF touches your soul in way you dont expect. You cant help your emotions spilling out. It's the experience we older ones have been feeling for years. Its raw, its deep and beautiful.

I'm almost 70 years old. I was born in 52. Despite the pains and all the other crap that comes with aging, I will be forever thankful to have been alive during these years of music. I have been truly blessed ! Long Live Rock !!! My first live concert : Crosby, Stills and Nash at Boston Garden. My last concert : Within Temptation from the Netherlands at the House of Blues in Boston...and 20 or 30 others in between... :)

This live performance comes from a concert series of 12 shows done at Earl's Court in 1994. The album was released, and called "Pulse". You could get it on a 2-VHS tape, or 2-CD, and then when DVDs came out, this show was released in a 2-DVD format. The first part of the performance consisted of songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Astronomy Domine (CD only), High Hopes, One Of These Days, among other great songs. Then the band went to an intermission, and the second half of the performance, they did the album, "The Dark Side of The Moon" in its entirety, from Speak to Eclipse. Their encore songs were Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb (which you hear in this video of course), and ending with the song Run Like Hell. Interestingly enough, when the CD came out, the spine of the box had a red blinking LED light, that was powered inside the box with two AA batteries. If the light began to dim, you could simply pull the housing out of the box, replace the batteries, and your little "pulsating light" would be good as new. It is the ONLY album I still have from when I was a teenager, and I bought it the day it came out. I don't remember how many times I've had to replace the batteries, as it's been about 27 years, but the light is still blinking bright red like the day I bought it. It still has its "pulse".

The Pink Floyd concert called "Pulse" took place on October 20, 1994, at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London. It was part of their Division Bell Tour, which happened from 1994 to 1995. Although the concert occurred in 1994, they released a live album and video titled "Pulse" in 1995, which quickly became popular among Pink Floyd fans. "Pulse" holds a significant place in the history of music and Pink Floyd's career. It was one of their final big performances and served as a celebration of their extensive collection of songs. The concert had an impressive stage setup, including a large circular screen called the "Circle of Light" that displayed mesmerizing visual effects throughout the show. One of the standout moments from the "Pulse" concert was their performance of the song "Comfortably Numb." This song is widely considered one of Pink Floyd's greatest hits, and the live version from the Pulse concert is often praised for featuring one of the most memorable guitar solos in rock music. David Gilmour, the band's lead guitarist, delivered an extraordinary and emotionally charged guitar solo during that performance, which contributed to the song's lasting popularity and acclaim. "Pulse" received widespread praise from both critics and fans. The concert showcased Pink Floyd's exceptional musical abilities, captivating visuals, and immersive stage production. It captured the essence of the band's sound and created a powerful and memorable experience for the audience. The live album and video release topped the charts in multiple countries and sold millions of copies worldwide. All in all, "Pulse" remains an important milestone in Pink Floyd's legacy. It represents the culmination of their musical journey and continues to be celebrated as a masterpiece of live performance. Whether you're a Pink Floyd fan or a rock music enthusiast in general, "Pulse" is regarded as a must-see and is recognized for its incredible music and stunning visual presentation.

What people who were there do is they go on KZfaq and find videos of people who are hearing of this music for the first time. Then they vicariously experience the joy of that person's journey from "I've heard this band's name before" to appreciation to cataclysmic awe in the span of one song. "What is this?" "What is happening right now?" - we love it when this happens to people. Those of us who know the music and those privileged enough to have been at this show come to watch these videos because we know we are going to see a transformation in another person, one that we deeply value. This particular performance was so overwhelming. Pink Floyd's music is meant to be experienced in album format. Meddle (1971), Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979) is the greatest run in rock history. Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994) are important albums too. These were progressive artists and they had a progressive take on society and human experience. They had something to say and they said it. Very grateful I discovered them at 16. Pink Floyd made music that will last as long as humanity lasts. They were so gifted, they provoked a whole reactionary and unimpressive angry white guy music genre in frustrated response (punk). I'm grateful at least some white men contributed art of real merit that touches the souls of people everywhere.

I just cry every time I listen to this song. This guitar solo is historical! That was phenomenal and so emotional, that was just splendid and extremely powerful! But guess what? I was there that specific day, I was really young. After the concert, we were walking in silence, thinking about this phenomenal concert, looking at the stage sometimes just to remember this moment forever before we leave for good. I also remember the smell of joints, especially in front of the stage (yes, that was, of course, forbidden, but ... Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd, right? Some people couldn't resist!). Now, when I listen to this guitar solo, I always remember that the sound was everywhere around us: spectacular, massive, imposing, powerful, but also perfectly clean! It was so impressive and so imposing. Like: the massive, colossal, powerful, and majestic Pink Floyd machine directly connected to your soul! And I can tell you that we were all vibrating. 90% of the time, during a concert, people are talking, laughing, and having good times; but during this concert, everybody was literally speechless. No stupid or annoying people. Everybody was just "connected". It was like, being in a parallel universe where everything was completely different. That was phenomenal and special, almost "magic" so to speak. And so many people were there, something like 16,300 people. I kept the tickets by the way, hehe - And today, I'm still proud to say _"I WAS THERE, WITH PINK FLOYD THAT DAY!"_

...by the way...that was NOT the finale;) The last song of this concert was "Run like hell", check it out:)

it's only 1 song , imagine all Pulse concert .. 😎👍🎶🎸✨

As beautiful as "Comfortably Numb" is, Pink Floyd has another song that, in my opinion, is equally as beautiful. Check out their song "High Hopes".

I consider David Gilmour one of the best guitarists. Not so much for some fantastic speed, but his immensely felt game. DG plays his Fender Stratocaster with heart and soul ... I love him!

I'm 64 and from Canada. Pink Floyd has been my #1 since I first heard them 50 years ago. Not just my opinion, but they were pretty much ALWAYS THE GOLD STANDARD by which all other "groups" were and still are measured....for the number of weeks an album has stayed at #1 (Dark side of the moon- 400 and some weeks, around the 4 year mark), and they are still the gold standard for musical production, longevity, album sales, ticket sales, guitar mastery, stage setup, lights, crowd appeal...practically everything there is in music at this point....... LEGENDS.

The finale is Run Like Hell. You might want to watch it to see the big finale.

I'm glad to see you appreciated the playing of David on this song--arguably the best guitar solo of all time. I'm 70, and have heard this song and watched videos of Gilmour's solo countless times and STILL get emotional. I was surprised you had no comment on the lyrics. You don't have to be a drug--addled aging rock star to feel "walled in" by life experiences. Watch Half and Jai's reaction video to this same performance to see someone who gets it.

David Gilmour is the master of taking you on a musical, emotional journey. He creates moods with his playing.

I believe that whoever you are, and whatever you like, does not matter. When one hears true greatness it has to be acknowledged. And this song and Pink Floyd exemplify greatness. Good for you for taking the time to explore music outside your normal comfort zone. You will be very surprised at the great music you will find, and glad you took the leap to do so.

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 frogged 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… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. 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.

I was fortunate enough to see them on this tour in Oakland, CA. It was bar none, the best concert I've ever been to. Nearly all the shows of the tour were at outdoor venues where sound ALWAYS sucks - except this didn't. It was perfect!!! They had surround sound that ringed the top of the stadium. In a crowd of 65,000 the sound was tuned to be perfect for every last person. AMAZING!

Now you got yourself trapped in the void of the magic of Pink Floyd. I’m jealous.

Looks like your mind was blown🤯 I feel you on the concert part! It’s like little pops of electricity in the air, on your skin, in your brain and soul. Thanks for this diffent from your normal content! Very enjoyable!😎

This has been wonderful for about 40 years, should be good for another 400 years.

I saw this show at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada. It was a blast seeing my favorite band.

I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me 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 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, and I know all the great ones.

True story: I was at this very performance. I had the first row seat by the stage of the section that goes up just to the left off the floor. When I arrived and started walking down the numbered seats I was so excieted to be basically in the front row at a Pink Floyd show. Almost flipped out on the attendant when the row ended all of a sudden right before my seats and a Movie cameraman was where my seats were. They escorted me and my buddy to exact same seats on the other side of the stage. Great seats for sure but I knew Gilmour was closer to the other side. For those who know this concert, when the plane crashed into flames I got my arm hairs slightly singed...

I saw them 3 times in my life literally the best band with visual effects of all time even today no one beats Pink Floyd live shows ❤

Saw them in 1994 at Carter-Finley Stadium,Raliegh. Incredible.

Thanks sooo much for doing this! I knew you’d love this!! 😊🌹🌹🌹🌹

Nice reaction , seen them on same tour in Rotterdam in 94 . Can't go wrong reacting to more from this concert

Pink Floyd has a huge worldwide fanbase. They were famous for their epic live shows. They are the most successful Progressive Rock band in history.

My personal favorite guitar solo of all-time...and probably the most tasteful guitarist ever

React to the ENTIRE Darkside Of The Moon album by Pink Floyd.. not one song, the entire album!!!! it's one of those albums that tell a story of life in a Psychedelic way

David Gilmore is my favorite guitarist. He says more with less.

That was an Encore..after a 2 hour concert which was incredible...They played that song as just 1 of 3 encores...Pink Floyd take the idea of Music & Performance to another dimension, there are no words in any language invented by Humans that adequately describe their genius! We are so lucky to be able to experience such beautiful sounds!

Goddamn! Now that’s a guitar solo. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well I’m 58 years old saw them live 3 times Pink Floyd is on top of visually and special effects of any bands or artists it’s just mind blowing

I attended this tour at RFK stadium in Washington DC. To this day it's still the best show I've ever seen.

I've been watching your broadcast. Hope you get this. It's now November 2022. Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb it's actually my favorite favorite song from them. Thank you for playing this.

I know this song since '79 - I was 20 at this time - I always feel the same emotion when listening to it ! Tears are never far, I am so much touched by this guitar solo... That PULSE live version is even better with a very long 2nd solo, David Gilmour took the time to buid it, and your emotion goes higher and higher... as he plugs his guitar directly to your soul.... And i always loved David's warm voice ! Dom, a 62 years old fan from France

April 28th, 1994 Irving Tx (old dallas cowboys stadium) Front row seats in stands off to left of stage. The most amazing concert I've ever experienced. Been to most my fav bands throughout my life! I get a renewed experience when someone as yourself views a song from this concert. Loved the reaction!

I saw this, there will never be another show like this. EVER.

Listening to my all-time favorite rock band. I'm so jealous you're listening to them for the first time.

I was blessed to see the 1994 Division Bell tour 5 times- twice in LA (Pasadena Rose Bowl) and 3 times in Philly at Vets stadium (my last shows ever at Vets! Saw Floyd on the Momentary Laps of Reason Tour at Vets years earlier) There is no way to describe the energy of the crowd, the production and of course the talent on that stage. Gilmour will always be one of my favorite guitarists of all time. Very grateful! Love your reaction!

I think it’s so cool that you saw this with an open mind and LOVED IT!! Art in all of its forms is beautiful

I have been building concerts for about 15yrs now, maybe 40+ per year, and before that, went to dozens upon dozens dating back to the 70's where I have seen most every great rock band with the exception of Tom Petty (missed several chances to see him, or had tickets to canceled shows), and this tour was by far the best concert in my experience. This video doesn't do the show justice. The lighting director was supreme and had every tool(light) in the tool chest to work with...so on time and color accentuated with times of minimalism and only a few lights or lights with only 1 color all focused to the same points...then other times it was very busy with different pods doing different color accents and highlights and even different focus, but all representing something about the song, emphasising it with great dramatic production. The band was on time, in key and in sync with each other, the audio engineer having every single space of the facility acoustically mapped and his tuning set accordingly so that no place in the house had a fall off in quality in the audio they would hear. I first seen Pink Floyd as a fan in the late 70's during The Wall tour, have seen them a few times since, as well as seen & built Roger Waters(former Pink Floyd member) concert...but nothing compares to the Pulse tour shows. Not even remotely close. You should see the entire show(it is available) as it is something everyone should see once in their lifetime, to better hone their own preferences and measures of what is a good live production. Other Pink Floyd songs to listen to...Great Gig in the Sky, live. Run like Hell from the same concert. Wish You Were Here from the album, High Hopes, & Learning to Fly...that should get you started...once you consider yourself a fan (it will happen), check out the remaining album of Wish You Were Here & then check out the Animals album...your common theme will be that you were in an alternate universe ..for that is what they do.

What I love about Pink Floyd is they can take you on a trip without having to ingest drugs. Loved them since first hearing "Money" in 1972 and they just kept getting better. Way ahead of their time in 72 and still ahead of their "time" today.

Yea Pink Floyd came through for me many times to just kick back and truly relax. 😏

I was fortunate to be at this concert at Earls Court and it is a night i will never forget. This is when music was plyed with instruments and not a computer. You will never get music like this again so enjoy.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond next, please.

The band Pink Floyd started in the early 60s but it didn't become the band we know today until Gilmour joined in 1967. Their album Dark Side of the Moon was their first big hit album. I remember buying it on vinyl. I was 11 years old.

Saw them at the L.A. Coliseum, in 1988. Stellar show. And yes,they played "Comfortably Numb".

Pink floyd has always been an experience not just a concert. This entire concert is incredible Jay. Check out coming back to life. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

I got to see them on this tour at the Louisiana Superdome here in New Orleans!!! And yes, that stage was HUGE!!! It actually spanned across the entire floor of Superdome from one sideline to the other in the football configuration!! This was actually the second to last song of the concert. "Run Like Hell" was the concert finale.I have a humongousmusic collection, and have been to concerts and performances of beau coups artists spanning just about every genre. And yes, I still talk about this concert as being one of THE BEST (if not the best) concerts I have ever been to visually and sonically hands down.

It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation.

Great Reaction and THANK YOU for not pausing nd interrupting the natural flow and momentum of this momentum !!!

To truly appreciate this you have to divide yourself. One to listen with closed eyes to the unreal music; and the other part to witness the unbelievable sight!

Is it weird that I cry every time I watch this video? And that is a lot of crying lemme tell ya 🥺

quick! someone send her the DVD of this concert! lol glad you got a real visceral reaction to it. as we all did who have seen it. very genuine. loved it. I actually WAS at 2 of these shows. Both in 94. The year I turned 21...I had been listening to Floyd for years (props to my brother who is 8 years older than me), and he surprised me by getting me tickets to the first one at Yankee Stadium. IT.WAS.MY.FIRST.CONCERT.EVER!!! Imagine that one...lol. Then we saw them a few weeks later at Giants Stadium...absolutely mind blowing...and thankfully we got blessed enough to see them that year, twice no less, because I dont believe they did a tour like that again. Anyway glad you enjoyed it as much as we all did, and watching you 'get it' for the first time. :) peace and love

I was there. The times my hair stood up and I felt like crying for no reason was amazing.

This is one of my favorite groups, and one of my biggest influences on guitar, love your reaction

Beautiful reaction... I saw this concert in Montpellier in France, the best concert ever... Really awesome. I couldn't miss it as a big fan for so many years... Thanks for your video. Love from France 🇫🇷😘

I always say this, Pink Floyd is an Album Rock genre meaning that their music was written to be listened to from first song on the album to the last. When they were putting out music, we did not have the SKIP function, we didn't have a random function. We only had the playlist that was the album that we gently laid on the turntable, placed the needle on the vinyl and let it play. When Side 1 was done, we flipped the disc and let it go. If you went to a Pink Floyd concert, they only played the songs from the current album tour, at least that was the case for me when I saw The Wall Concert in LA in Feb of '80. My suggestion for anyone wanting to dive into Pink Floyd is to listen to their albums as a whole, because the songs are written to take the listener on a journey.

I saw him twice in 2016 in LA at the Hollywood Bowl and then the LA Forum two nights later. So energized from the first show, had to do it again.

I was working as a lighting tech in Branson MO for Mel Tillis. The moving lights you see here are VeriLites. We had just done an install of 375 of these. They sent a tech out to us to help with the install. AaveriLite asked if we wanted to see Pink Floyd, he'll yes. We get to Arrowhead stadium and who do we see at the light board! David, the light tech running the board for Pink Floyd! Yes, we watched the show from the lighting booth. This show was a truly spiritual experience. And yes, that's David Gilmore on guitar.

The guitarist David Gimour doesn't plug his guitar into an amp. He plugs it into his soul. He makes that guitar SING!

you have just witnessed one of the greatest guitarists in history 🥳😍💯

Your the most beautiful youtuber reactor!!! Keep up the great reactions!!!

Seen this 3 nights in a row in Toronto from different areas each night. Outstanding each time. Luckily for new fans these videos exist.

I was there.. it was beautiful. Best band in the world.. so glad you're reacting to this. ❤

I wasn't at this show but I saw them on this tour at Yankee Stadium NYC. The lead guitarist is David Gilmour and when you said you didn't really like rock guitar well David Gilmour doesn't just play rock guitar he carries on a conversation when he plays guitar. The instrument talks and soars and cries. He is absolutely amazing. Oh by the way the show I saw was tremendous and they had speaker everywhere so you actully heard the sound ll around you including from the back of the stadium

Absolutely loved your genuine reaction to a brilliant song/performance. God bless.

JayShara......was cool watching you appreciate these rock legends, and especially this incredible moving song. Enjoy your journey discovering the gems in this genre of music, and certainly Pink Floyd.

Saw this concert when it came to Montreal... Absolutely amazing show! Have it on DVD, watch it at least once a year.

I saw the Pulse tour back in 1994 when they played at Yankee Stadium. Still one of my favorite live shows.

Great reaction video. Love when you do rock and metal reactions. Keep up the great work.

Fkn phenom. David Gilmour, folks, the greatest rock guitarist to ever play the blues. I'm lucky to be old enough (don't hear that very often lol) to have seen the Animals Tour. Gilmour is god. Rock on Dave!

I do not remember the fist time I heard this song but, I remember the best time I heard this song. 1985...summer, I was 16, at a keg party in the woods sitting on the back of a truck smoking a J talking to a girl I liked. A lot of good memories listening to great music from the 70's and 80's. It was the best time to grow up in.
