Finally listening to Pink Floyd at 40! Where have they been all my life? 

Greatest band ever. You'll never hear anything like them ever.

Seeing this live. its like a reset button on your soul. It sticks with me to this day.

30yrs ago and a few days, I was at that gig. The greatest music experience of my life ever

Have a listen at some point to the studio version with Clair Torry. She was a session singer and they got her to come in on a Sunday and they just gave her a concept and she went for it. I think after the second take, she said she couldn't do any better. The rest is history 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 It's about how you come to terms with dying and how you deal with grief etc. The 3 singers were Samantha Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine (R.I.P. Claudia Fontaine)

The essence of Pink floyd MINUS Rodger Waters is tremendous! David Gilmour is a master of his Creations!

Please react to the studio version with Clare Torry. No disrespect to the ladies in this video but Clare's version is unsurpassed and I've listened to several different arrangements of this song. Clare's vocal range is amazing.

Claire Torry improvised this in the studio after being told by the guys that they didn't want words to express the stages of grief or dying. A brilliant couple of hours in the studio. She has an interview on RU-vid about the creation of this wonderful piece of music.

Those three ladies were, in order of appearance, Sam Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine, The original album version was done by Clare Torry (in two takes - and she later apologised saying she thought it was not good enough.) Clare Torry's parts were split among the three ladies here.

Sam Brown has a killer voice.

ON THE TURNING AWAY is another great song, as is all of them. Especially from the pulse cocert 😊

Greetings from Sweden. Thank you.❤

Try this song: High Hopes, from this great Pulse concert, of course.

another great pink floyd reaction, the whole pulse concert is amazing, id recommend that you try "TIME" or "COMING BACK TO LIFE" from the same pulse concert, im sure you will enjoy them both aswell as many others "

The studio version is definitive, although this performance is excellent!

I subscribed to follow your Education. ❤ 🇦🇺

Tears without a word.... The blonde singer is Sam Brown, who is well known for her song "Stop" in the 90's ;)

Time is a classic Pink Floyd song with a brilliant intro......a song about our life, your life, that ends at a funeral and then slides into The Great Gig.......the end of our Time.....the 5 stages of death from denial, anger and bargaining to end with peace and acceptance. The live version often uses 2 or 3 vocalists, and appears to be just the 3 stages of death, not the complete 5.

If you have time, please check out both the original studio version AND the Pulse live version of TIME. Both together in one reaction would be outstanding, but if that’s not OK, then just the Pulse version.

Simple song. First lady knowing she is terminal is fighting against the dying of the light. Second is succumbing, and the third is accepting her fate. Hence the high and gradually lowering of the music. There we have, the great gig in the sky. 😢

From this very same concert is a performance called. High Hopes it is phenomenal David Gilmour does a solo on that steel guitar. You just saw him playing and it is mind blowing. I mentioned it back when you watched comfortably numb from the same concert. And High Hopes is epic.

The seven stages of grief; They include shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance.

I think we found ourselves a new bonafide Pink Floyd fan!🤘 Great reaction as usual. It's probably a little strange to go from "Comfortably Numb" and that epic guitar 🎸 solo to something like this where it's mainly piano and background singers just belting out ethereal sort of sounds (with zero words), but they take you on a different emotional journey every single time. And they are widely considered among the best live bands of all-time (THE best IMO). And yes, the background singers obviously weren't permanently part of the band - but it's nice to see them featured, absolutely killing it with their haunting but incredible vocals and the crowd giving them their recognition. 👏 And also to Pink Floyd to set aside ego & let anyone shine. They've always experimented with different instruments, how they're used and whoever will contribute to making the sound/experience unforgettable to the listener. You just rarely get that I think. And the visuals 😮‼️ I know you have a lot of music requests to get to and you have to space things out - but I'm gonna keep banging this drum - I believe the next song by PF you should react to is "On The Turning Away" live from the DSOT tour. Think you may personally enjoy it more than Comfortably Numb because of the lighter, more universal message (and melody) - and David absolutely makes his guitar 🎸 sing in it. It's an incredible live performance/experience. One of the best I've ever seen. In any case, whatever you do choose down the line, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Cheers. P.S. Oh yeah, the studio version everyone keeps mentioning IS epic and Clare Torry is a revelation, but you can always just listen to that one on your own time? 🤷‍♂️

"Size of the crowd" which is 1 of 14 days in a row sold out at Earl's Court and their last concert.

Now listen to COMFORTABLY NUMB at the same live PULSE concert

One of the greatest vocal performances ever..... and not ONE lyric.

This is from their iconic album Dark side of the moon which I purchased when only 15 in 1973 on its release it is as of 2023 the fourth biggest selling album of all time selling over 50 million copies worldwide and it remained in the Billboard 200 albums chart for 736 nonconsecutive weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 16 July 1988) no other albums has ever come close to that and is considered by many critics as one of the best albums of all time. their second biggest selling album is the wall selling over 40 million copies worldwide.

I was fortunate enough to be at this concert - incredible experience!!! Best gig i have ever and probably will ever go to. Also maybe it is only me but thought the reactor had more than just a passing resemblance to Sam Brown 😃

The first girl at one point it looked just like you… lol great reaction… that’s from the Dark Side Of The Moon album…. Great reaction… now do High Hopes if you can…

Your musical journey is incomplete until you have listened to the entire Dark Side of the Moon album. It is a complete work, not a collection of "songs". It is more like a progressive rock symphony with each movement flowing seamlessly into the next track. It tells a story, and it has some kind of universal appeal in that it confronts a number of major psychological and emotional issues in the words of Roger Waters, the lyricist. There is a reason it remains one of the highest selling albums of all time, it is pure musical and lyrical genius. Every track from the album is done at the Pulse concert and the "PULSE Restored and Re Edited" versions have all the tracks. It was also inducted into the (US) Library of Congress among a list of the most influential recordings of all time!

This is my first visit to your channel, but it won't be the last! Enjoyed your reaction to this amazing PF track!! A band you have (maybe) never heard of? How about trying The Crash Test Dummies and the official video to their song "Superman's Song"! The lead singer's voice is awesome, the video is beautiful and the song itself excellent! Take care!

This show was filmed in London at (Earl's Court), with a capacity of around 19,500 spectators. They presented 14 shows at Earl's Court, for a total of 273,474 spectators, or approximately 19,500 spectators per evening. Montreal was treated to 3 shows totaling 187,302 spectators, or approximately 62,434 spectators per evening. The largest attendance for a single performance was at (Ohio Stadium) in Columbus, with 75,250 spectators.

When people say listen from start to finish their talking about when you listen to say the whole album Dark Side of the Moon. And you're impressed with the size of the crowd? Yeah earls Court seats almost 20,000 and they sold it out 15 nights in a row for this particular concert!!

The song is about dying she goes through the pain of fighting to stay alive as the song goes on she finally excepts her death as she go quietly at the end beautiful song with no word just extreme emotion she uses her voice as and instrument

This video was recorded slightly more or less 30 years ago... really! Have you seen a concert that looks as amazing as this? I'd doubt it. One more thing, the last lady to sing here... Miss Claudia Fontaine unfortunately passed away in 2018, I am unsure of the cause but she was 57 years old. Rest and sing in peace Claudia.

You look like you could be the first singer's sister!

Same concert...Comfortably Numb, High Hopes, Sorrow, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Run Like Hell, Coming Back To Life...what the hell, just do the entire concert.

You are in for quite a journey with these masters...why don't you start with this concert from the beginning ? Try Shy on you crazy Diamond from this concert...another masterpiece.

Now you've experienced this magical masterpiece, do the finale of that show, 'Run Like Hell', if you haven't already. It will be the most spectacular and explosive thing you've ever seen...

As others will tell you, you should definitely check out the original studio version, particularly with headphones. I'm also very partial to the Delicate Sound of Thunder version, but this version is awesome too, especially Sam Brown's opening section. If you're looking for new (to you) artists to check out, I highly recommend Aurora, perhaps starting with "Runaway" live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert.

Sometimes words are not needed.

Clare's original studio performance is simply amazing.......but, this live version is pretty d**n special.......as noted, the first vocalist is Sam(antha) Brown, who performs with Pink Floyd often.....each vocalist was free to interpret a stage of dealing with death as they imagined it, like Clare did originally

Song is about grief or dying , the different parts of the vocal are anger , denial bargaining and acceptance , if Floyd came out today they would be still ahead of the times , this song was released 51 years ago

Something different to react to? Golden Earring with “Radar Love”.

I've had the experience with other musicians that sometimes you'll just be jamming and hit something that sounded awesome and when you try to reproduce it the magis is gone. It was a fleeting moment that can never be reproduced. So it is with Claire Tory's version on the album. All these vocalists are awesome but if you grew up on the album version they just don't convey her passion.

Then after Comfortably Numb, live at pulse .. Listen to RUN LIKE HELL from the same pulse concert

15,000 people at the Pulse concert. The Great Gig In the Sky is a snippet from possibly the greatest album of all time "The dark side of the moon". The song is basically an instrumental about dying, the vocalisation denotes the transition from life to death. Keep of reacting to songs from the pulse concert, but.......Take a dive in the band called Within Temptation. This is symphonic rock band the will amaze you. Watch the Official videos from stuff like "Bleed Out", Shed my Skin, The Purge or Faster.

Dark Side of the Moon needs to be listened to - tho not necessarily reacted to - in its entirety. It's really just one 40 minute song with various "movements". Also, IMHO the album version of Great Gig in the Sky is better than this live version, mainly because one woman sings the entire thing by herself, which I find more impressive than 3 people taking turns.

Hi, I love watching your reactions, I admit that I haven’t seen all of them (yet). Have you listened to The Moody Blues, the most popular one is Nights In White Satin (live version with orchestra). They have a vast library if songs having started in the early 60’s and to a certain extent are still going now albeit that most band members have now passed on.

Where have YOU been 😉? Well, welcome to the real world - time to make up for your misspent youth 🙂 Appropriate oohs and aahs from you, well in the spirit of the fantastic vocal-instrumentals by Sam Brown (supported by Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine). My cat (kitten at the time) sat up to me playing exactly this Pulse version - filming her reactions to these vocal effects formed one of the first of my home video uploads.

I’m really enjoying you becoming “Floyded”. I love watching you get blown away by their music. The next Floyd song for review? Try listening to the PULSE version of “Wish You Were Here”, an achingly poignant conversation between David Gilmore and the memory of one of the band’s founding members, Syd Barrett. Syd suffered from mental health issues, exacerbated by his excessive LSD use. He led PF for their first three albums, but as his drug use worsened, his erratic behavior made him undependable, and eventually the band was forced to leave him behind, and David Gilmore stepped into Syd’s role. The band were all good friends, and the loss of Barrett devastated the members. Mental health, and its consequences, became a through line in Pink Floyd’s music thereafter. What hurt the most was that, after they had to abandon their friend, he disappeared, and for years no one knew if he was alive or dead. He was ‘in the wind’ and that’s how “Wish You Were Here” ends, slowly fading into the wind. As for non-PF bands to react to, try The Eagles, and their MASSIVE hit, “Hotel California”. It was the title track to their 1976 album, and throughout the spring and summer of 1977, the singles off this album landed like atomic bombs. Practically every song was released as a single, and they were all hits. Another excellent choice for reactions would be Billy Joel (the guy has THREE greatest hits albums) and your first choice should be “Piano Man”, a biographical song about the time Billy went underground as a lounge piano player to wait out a terrible management contract.

🤔Under your "Comfortably Numb" reaction, I said this: "If you do "Time", and follow it with "The Great Gig in the Sky", the studio versions, or from Pulse, you're mature enough to experience the depth of introspection Pink Floyd can induce." For a reason. If not together, then in that order as individual reactions. Much as I'm compelled to over-explain things, I'm not going to. You realized the musical excellence of the performers in this snippet, but not the depth of meaning of the song itself, and Pink Floyd songs _always_ mean something profound about the human experience. Because "Time" has lyrics, you can't possibly miss the point there. (Pink Floyd pro-tip: if someone is talking in the background, like the old man at the beginning of this song was [0:52], what they say is as important as lyrics. Had you listened to him, your experience of what each of the women expressed for us, would have been radically different.)

Where have THEY been your whole life? Why, right there ….Where have YOU been your whole life? 😉😏

Glad to see you doing more Pink Floyd! Definitely the GOAT, imo. You're going to get a tonne of Floyd recommendations here so I'll stray a bit and request some Heart reactions. For me, their 2002 Alive In Seattle concert is to them what PULSE is to Pink Floyd.

Have you listened to Klaatu yet?

Was just checking on the "wiki-pedia", their PULSE album contains the entire Dark Side of the Moon album in sequence (side 2), and this double album, despite a price of US$34.99 (which included flashing LED and two AA batteries) Pulse debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 on 24 June 1995 with 198,000 copies sold, it became the first multidisc album to top the Billboard 200 since the chart started using SoundScan data in May 1991. It remained on the chart for twenty two weeks. It was certified two times platinum by the RIAA on 31 July 1995 for shipments of one million units. The original "The Dark Side of the Moon" album by Pink Floyd remained on the Billboard 200 chart for a total of 741 weeks during its initial run. It first entered the chart on March 17, 1973, and made its final appearance on the week ending October 8, 1988. Credits for the track here : "The Great Gig in the Sky" (20 October 1994, Earls Court, London) Song Credits: Rick Wright, Clare Torry Vocals: Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, Claudia Fontaine RE: Obscure bands to consider (I have your full #reaction list, slowly working through it), you have so many of my of my faves but I don't remember seeing some like these (defo not obscure !) Evanescence Lynyrd Skynyrd Styx System of a Down

First singer doing a reaction video of herself. LOL. #DeadRinger

This is a stunning live performance by the 3 women, but as others have said, you should hear the album version. You should react to Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits from the Alchemy Live concert. Also, react to Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, this performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nbYQYOM66MA.htmlsi=7lRloi_JjCXMRX8l

Wow, sorry your first listen was this version......................not even close to the original album version with the great and wonderful Clair Torrey

!!!A MUST SEE FOR YOU !!! SORRY I'M LATE(HEALTH) Jeff Healey is a blind blues guitarist that played his guitar on his lap. it is a spectacle to watch. there is a lot of great songs, but we lost him way too early on in his life. here is a live version that will make you fall in love with the man, and cry that he can't give us more of his "light". he did leave us with some timeless blues tunes though. this song is called "See The Light". the other musicians in the video are really good and really famous too. i would put this man on my list of all time greats like; Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Hendrix, and the Blues Brothers. DID I SAY "A MUST SEE" LOL ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gwgOUzodS6E.html

Relisten to this song with the original singers, they make these ladies sound like amateurs. This song is about the 5 stages of Death. Denial, Anger, Depression, Bargaining and Acceptance.

This is good but does not compare to the original. Clare Torry sang the greatest female vocal of all time. Its not even close.

If it doesn't have Roger Waters, it's just a Pink Floyd facsimile.
