Drummer reacts to "Sorrow" (Live) by Pink Floyd 

It's worth being old now, to have been young then.

I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome 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. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed. I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I do to all Pink Floyd songs. Thanks

Theres no band like Pink Floyd. We were blessed to have them. Life changing music

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a David Gilmour 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. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. 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. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. 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

David's guitar play is as smooth as silk...never misses a note, doesn't even break sweat

Filmed 30 years ago and is still, in my opinion, the greatest concert in history.

When the synthesizer and organ came on... the whole place was vibrating. Best damn concert ever.

I'm so glad you picked up Rick Wright's ability to brew atmosphere and create engaging soundscapes, he really did put the foundations in place for nearly all Pink Floyd songs. The Division Bell tour (Pulse) was a magical experience, one of my favourite gigs along with Peter Gabriel's Growing Up tour that was also spectacular.

I was there,October,1994,Earls Court,west London. I’m still coming down,life-changing experience.

Nick just makes it all look so easy and he has so much time and never seems to be rushed in any chop or fill.

I was there back in 94. Im still there.

I am sorry about your dad My parents are gone now....they were wondetful. Im an old lady of alnost 65 but will aleays love floyd..the song is about whatever it means to you.

Prayers for your pops

I've always loved what David did for the intro and the outro of this song. When combined with his guitar work and solo for the main parts of the song, it was like he served the crowd a divinity-created, multi-layered cake.

On The Turning Away. Live DSOT remastered 2019. Richards opening along with arguably Davids best solo, the lyrics, backing vocalists, cinematography... close to perfection..again.

I love how Guy Pratt smiles at David as if to say, "Damn, boss, you nailed it tonight!" And David smiles back as if to say, "Yeah. I did." G.O.A.T.

Excellent choice, brother. For context, I saw this tour at a 70,000-seat American football stadium, made of concrete and steel, and those bass notes made the structure vibrate under us. I am not excreting you. Between the light show, and the music, it was just an incredible experience. It was even better than it looks. I prayed for your Dad. I hope he gets better soon. ❤️

Music is what feelings sound like!!!!!

High Hopes by Pink Floyd from Pulse will also get you emotional. Such a great song. Peace!

This was THIRTY YEARS AGO! And people are STILL stunned by it…..I was there and it was THE most unbelievable concert ever!

Did you notice how much the musicians were enjoying themselves as well?

You are 100% correct young man. Seeing Pink Floyd live was not just a rock concert; more akin to a religious experience! Glad you can get a feel for how it was by watching this great concert.

There are not words to describe this performance. THIS IS MUSIC! Long live Pink Floyd.

I remember discovering pink Floyd for first-time around 13 years old, and they blew me away then as they still do at 62 ..Incredibly talented. They stand alone .

David’s guitar solo is absolutely amazing ❤

Saw this show live in Indy in 94. BEST SHOW EVER

Comfortably Numb kept me from doing drugs when young. Back in the 1970s. I still stay away from drugs. The song and the band are very good to have in your head......😊

I saw Pink Floyd 11 times on this tour and Sorrow was always a highlight of each show. Glad you enjoyed this song.

In the words of George Harrison,Beatles lead guitar, who once said that taking LSD had transformed him. Psychedelics does open up doors to perception. Peyote opened Jim Morrison perception enough to name his band the Doors,doors to perception. Dude you are right on and that's coming from a 71 yo aging hippie :) One of my best memories,to an extent, going to see Pink Floyd and the audience were all tripped out as well as the band. They asked the audience if it was ok for then to keep playing. The audience went wiled. A show that was to end around 11 finished after two. Magical... This was long before all the lights and massive production that became Pink Floyd 's trademark.

This piece (and, really, so many of their creations) just leave you speechless - so much talent! Think about it - this concert was thirty years ago, and more than twenty years after their inception in the late sixties. So many years they've been sharing the gift of their music with us. Prayers for a quick and full recovery for your dad.

David is my favorite guitarist. I especially love watching any Pulse video

Fortunately I don't have to just "Imagine" what it was like to be there, I was in the middle of it all.... In A Trance...Mesmerized. I've seen Gilmour/P.F. 4 times. I Spark Up My Pipe 3 -4 times per day for the past 57 years of happiness and smiles now at 70.

saw it live in Raleigh, NC 1994! watch Run Like Hell from Pulse.... they unleash everything!

Another great Pink Floyd reaction. Phenomenal aren’t they. Hey! It’s been 12 days, time for that closer (Run Like Hell) reaction. It will blow your mind, especially the end.

Hope your father pulls through, will keep him in our prayers. Great reaction! They make me emotional also.

Back in the day nobody put on a Show like Floyd, they always went all out at every show, they never phoned in a performance, or left anyone wanting more! "Learning To Fly" at the 94 Pulse Concert has a light show extraordinaire in the songs mid-section, as Pink Floyd is known to do, they recreate a landing field atmosphere with lasers and lighting coming from everywhere in the venue. "High Hopes" is another phenomenal performance at Pulse, it's an opportunity to see and hear, Gilmour playing a Classical Guitar during the song and an incredible solo on a Lap Steel Guitar to end the song.

On the turning away live at the delicate sound of thunder , The solo on that makes my eyes pee !

Best wishes to you, your Pops, and the whole family.

I sincerely hope your fathers doing well and you and your family are finding strength to see it through brother.

And well done for giving kudos to Richard Wright. That was a magical section on keys.

It wasn’t just a concert, it was the experience of a lifetime. Glad I got to see them 3 times in my life.

They use foggers in the room, which the lights pick up and it looks like random clouds. My Pink Floyd band uses these.

🤗 Catching up with your PF Reactions & others! ☺️🥰🐰

Still praying for Pops.❤️🙏🇨🇦

I saw this tour and it was unbelievable, I got to see them 3 times in the 70's and 1 time in the 80's, This is the 90's tour

This was a magical show ❤❤❤

Great reaction! It's good to hear a shout out to Mr. Wright every now and again. In my opinion he was the fabric that helped tie Waters and Gilmore's individual styles tightly together .All the best to your grandpa 👍

I have chills...again

I would give a leg to be at this glorious concert! 😢

This is absolute magical music ❤

Praying for Pops brother.

It was an amazing experience attending this concert live at Rose Bowl in 1994

Great concert! And now imagine that with this tour they were in Prague in 1994, among other places. Of course, I bought a ticket (as a big fan of this band), but the day before the concert I got a severe strep throat and fever. Since the weather forecast called for heavy rain and cold for that day (which came true), it was out of the question for me to go. To this day it is one of the saddest days of my life :-(. My friend, to whom I gave the ticket, still blesses me!

the art of music, used properly music can make you trip out without ANY substance. david is a master of his instrument and knows what will LET it "speak" to your soul

2nd Greatest Live Guitar Solo Of All Time.... Only because Number One is later in the show. I was there, words don't quite explain the experience.

It was better being in my 20’s in the 70’s than in my 70’s in the 20’s :) But well worth it to grow up with bands like Floyd! Loved your metaphysical comments, which I totally agree with. I first experienced Floyd and LSD when I was 16. Both influenced my subsequent philosophical / spiritual journey. You’re on the right track Lee. Hoping your grandad recovers soon, but remember that “Birth is not a beginning, death is not an end “

Every song on that tour was an event..... and typically with Pink Floyd... they were there on the stage, tiny people in that huge space, but a sound that is unparalleled and visuals that no-one else could match... But when you were there you were there for the whole sensory experience, No screens, no phones, Just an audience experiencing the band and their music as a whole thing.... luckily I was there on that tour and it is still with me... only I now get to see the details and rember it all.... with you... Keep on Rocking.

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope for the best for him.

all the best for your father !!!!! - get well soon!!!

Sorry to hear about your dad

I was there at Earl's Court. It was the most amazing concert I have ever seen, before or since. Thanks for the great reaction Lee! I hope your Dad will be Ok.

Every time I see footage from this Pulse concert, I can't help to think just how amazing it would have been to be there.

Lee it was an amazing experience to be there - one of the three greatest concerts of my life and two of them were by Pink Floyd, this one and the Wall. ( the third was Talking Heads and can be still experienced in part through the movie ‘Stop making sense’) With Floyd it was not just the music and the visuals but the feel of it. The guitar on sorrow literally vibrated every molecule in your body and you physically felt every note. Thankfully the progressive music of the 70s was enough to give me the highs that probably prevented me from doing anything more than the odd smoke of whacky baccy and a liberal amount of alcohol. Best wishes to you and your Grandad. You have the right attitude now in living and optimising every moment because believe me when I confirm that there comes a point in life where time just keeps taking things away and its good to look back on all the positive experiences that you were able to store up along the way.

This whole show was so mind-blowing. I knew it would be awesome but I had no idea HOW awesome. Small tidbit: When you see the laser beams flicking back and forth quickly take note that this is not what we saw at the concert. When the beams fan out they did so looking like a solid wedge of light to us with no flickering or sign of motion other than spreading out in width, not as narrow beams moving left and right very fast like that. It's the camera frame rate out of sync with the laser's motion that makes them flicker on video. A rather low shutter speed would have been required to capture what the human eye saw.

Thanks for a great video. I highly recommend seeing Brit Floyd live in concert. They are true to Pink Floyd and have the same show. Seen them 8 times, and it's just fantastic as I never got to see Pink Floyd live.

pink floyd a melhor música

I saw division bell tour in San Diego CA. Best show ever!

Sorry to hear that my friend

Best wishes to your dad. Thinking of you in Florida.

It was amazing I saw it at the Rose bowl and it shook with all the instruments I’ll never forget it.

So cool! I first found your channel with "Saucerful of Secrets"; and "Sorrow" seems right up your alley.

So sorry about your dad man. I honesty hope he gets well very soon. Liked and subscribed. Keep us posted re your dad please 🙏 🙂

Every song from Pulse is legendary. This show is legendary. Still in 2024. This tour was something more than a tour. Imagine that you see in the sky this zeppelin with name pink Floyd.

I had a dream like yours, and witnessed the Universe, but in my dream it was imploding and Sorrow embraces the whole meaning of that event. Desperation and euphoria rolled into one 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

I went to their Division Bell tour in Detroit.

I was at on of their shows that same place as they played 16 nights there. Praying for your grandpa

The stage show was awesome. I saw it once and had to go back for 3 more helpings. The show was only 25 dollars. What a bargain. Worth every penny! One show was at Giants stadium on the 50 yard line.

Having been l lucky enough to see Pink Floyd during this tour, it was an experience not just a concert. Remembering the laser show was 30 years ago. If you want to see some Wright and Gilmour playing off one another check out Echos last time with Rick Wright

94 Dallas TX pulse concert. It was a helluva experience. 👏👏👏👏

One thing you cannot get in the video production is the fact that it had 360 degree surround and lightning. Sounds, lights (and props) coming at you from all angles. The Delicate Sound of Thunder videos have a bit more of this incorporated.

My first ever concert was Pink Floyd in 1988 in Perth. Never forget it. Hope you dad gets better soon

I was throwing popcorn at the screen trying to hit your mouth, cause it was open for so long.

You are in the presence of Gods my friend. The Stones, SRV, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, that's the God list brother.

"We are stardust."

Yes, oh& the capacity there is 20,000& they had 15 nights of this FULL MASTERS& GODS ❤

parabéns pela oportunidade

I saw this tour in D.C.at RFK stadium. To this day it's still the best show i've ever been to

I got to see Pink Floyd twice in Raleigh NC once in the late 80s then in the early 90s! Both were very unique and awesome experiences like no other!

Man, Pulse was and will remain, the shit. Great reaction and my prayers for your Dad. Your perspective is astonishingly refreshing. Your mind is open. Keeping maya at bay. Further.

So sorry to hear what your father is going through. Wishing you all well.

I saw this show in Columbus Ohio the technical part was astounding. You literally could not take it all in. Too much. I seen probably 15 reactions to this and you are the only person to mention the production. Love your perspective. Every time I hear these guys think they are the best. Then I hear the Beatles and they grab the best spot in my head. It may be a tossup. 12,000 and growing.

Sorry about your dad hope he can get better. People who was there they could not believe what they saw and heard. Some said that it changed them

I was about your age when I first saw P.F. on acid about 1973 and how you described the change it made for you. I'm still listening to them... however the change.for me remains without the chemical assistance. I agree with all you described. It allowed me to make the singular most important life decision...to go through life happy or sad. Everything's going to depend on which of those 2 directions you choose. I choose happy and I still see the "one" of us and it makes me smile. Have a good life my friend.

You have been floyded bro 🤟🏽

Doesn't get better than this, baby!!

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I'll keep him and you in my prayers! God bless!

I was at the concerts for both Division Bell and Momentary lapse of reason (" Pulse") tour..... It was awesome!!!

Echos Pompeii 1972, mind blowing

From what I remember they had 3 of those massive stages built for this tour. A huge convoy of big rigs were on the road at any one time, transporting the stage itself from one venue to the next, & setting up all of those lights & lasers in preparation of the next stadium they would be playing.. I saw them twice in Oakland on this tour. RU-vid has several videos available showing the behind the scenes stuff. I know they leapfrogged around America with all of their equipment. Supposedly the entire stage was constructed to match the old Hollywood Bowl setting where they had played back in the 1960s. And aren't those backup singers spectacular.. .

This is basically about the damage that we are doing to the planet and yes it was unbelievable to be there and hear/ see it live.
