First Time Hearing Pink Floyd - High Hopes (REACTION) PULSE Concert 

As a 66 yr old Pink Floyd fan I must say that I truly, truly love listening to your reactions to this epic music. Look forward to much more !

Everything Pink Floyd ever did was art. The best band ever.

The day you lose your dreams is the day you lose your connection with your soul.

At least I'll die knowing I've experienced Pink Floyd, and that's good enough for me.

The Pulse Tour was the best live performance ever. The album The Division Bell is a master piece.

What can one say, for those of us who are at an age that have had PF in our lives for more than 50 yrs. We truly were blessed. They will be played forever ❤🙏

Virtually every Pink Floyd song is an Experience!

This was the final track on the "Division Bell" - their actual last full studio album. It both chronicles their journey from inception to stardom and closure, and a final heartfelt tribute to long gone co-founder Syd Barrett (RIP) - there are multiple homages to him throughout the back-screen video - most notably the giant bas-relief. A perfect ending to 25 years of unparalleled excellence. FYI, your comment about the 'real' bell (the "Division Bell" is rung in Britain whenever a parliamentary procedure is begun or ended) - the reason that they include so many talented guest performers is to recreate their overdubbed studio sound as completely as possible without recordings. In this case, the additional percussionist backing Nick Mason is Gary Wallis, Also backing other band members are Jon Carin on keyboards behind Richard Wright (RIP) and Tim Renwick supporting David Gilmour. Bass is covered in amazing fashion by Guy Pratt. The Backup vocalists are Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontaine (RIP). The incomparable Dick Parry on Sax completes the crew. IMO, the most incredible concert tour ever, both musically and visually.

You don't just listen. You feel. Best Wishes.

Greetings from Canada. The right word for Pink Floyd is CALM... they calmly dissect situations and do what has to be done... beautifully. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

This beautiful and melancholy song always reminds me that the particular magic of youth can only be lived for short time. It’s this feeling of something forever just beyond your grasp - you can remember the feeling, you can recall some vague memory of how you felt, but you also know that you can never actually experience that exact magic again. You can make memories, accrue both achievements and losses, and you can experience different types of spiritual or life affirming magic as a mature adult, but no amount of riches or wishes can restore that special brand of magic you experienced as a child, adolescent, and young adult having incredible first time experiences before settling into maturity and responsibility. That beautiful outro guitar solo lets David wail for all of us who mourn that loss of innocence and youth. IMO, the best Floyd track after Roger left.

Pink Floyd's music is the channel that allows the lyrics to touch the deepest part of our being. What Pink Floyd does with its music is much more than simply providing a rhythm for a series of words chosen only to rhyme.

Nice reaction. I can tell you really get Pink Floyd. Stick with this Pulse concert-----you can't go wrong. Try Sorrow next.

This has become one of my favorites of theirs over the years.

54 year old .love this tune. Saw them once many years ago.super glad that I have that.

Dim the lounge lighting, put your phone on silent, grab a glass of The Macallan Whiskey, relax on the Sofa and listen to the Floyd. Heaven.

Love and warm regards from Cologne Germany. I saw the concert 1994 in Rome Italy. Here any facts to the Tour: The concerts of the "DIVISION BELL TOUR" PULSE featured even more special effects ( On the day of the concerts, the airspace above the respective city was closed for several hours for safety reasons due to the laser show !!! ) than the previous tour of even other bands and artist tours ever and it was in 1994, including two custom designed airships. They also used an Antonov military cargo plane plus 2 x cargo Boeing 747s. 3 seperate stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each of that stages 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130 foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. One stage in use, one being dismantled from the previous venue and one being set up at the next. They need 3-4 days to building on stage up 3 days for re-building.When Pink Floyd performed this in the US, they traveled with four 48' military grade mobile generators. 1994 there wasn't in USA a stadium built with enough electrical input to run the Pink Floyd show. That was also new for the American´s. The US Army said: "Ok, that´s cool project and makeable for us - let´s do it for the american audience - But we are always there! Is that understood and clear!?" - Answer Gilmour: "Yes Sir it is clear, thanks a lot, then let´s go. You will not regret it". I think they don´t regret it. That's what happens when you forget to give a budget figure to your lighting effects designer. That sound comes from a 220,000 watt sound system. The glitter ball from "Comfortably Numb" was over 15ft (4,6 m) in diameter, and the lasers were a new experimental design, and Pink Floyd cornered the entire world's supply at the time. 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 more then 45,000. In summary, it is the most elaborate live tour project of all times to date. The planning alone took 3 years. The tour (not the planning) was sponsored by Volkswagen. In an interview after the tour with Sam Brown (the blonde backup singer), they asked her: "How wild the band were on tour?", she said: "It was like touring with a group of forensic accountants, all very serious and just focused on giving their professional best to the music".

best band of all times . 😎👍 next one from Pulse concert - Coming back to life . = 3 good guitar solo . 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶

Nightwish has been heavily influenced by Pink Floyd and they did a tribute by covering this song, which is also great.

I traded 2 nosebleed seat tickets to see Barbara Streisand for 2 6th row center seats at the Detroit stop on this tour. Truly memorable show and experience.

Great reaction! I can't help but get misty eyed with this track - it was my mom's favourite (besides Shine On), and since her passing in 2018, it hits different! Especially when Dave hits the lap steel guitar - so powerful & emotional. Pink Floyd, more than many other bands, tends to tap into my soul with their music. Cheers from Canada!

Next year, I turn 70. Been listening to Pink Floyd for fifty years. You’re right. They don’t get in a hurry. Best way to listen to them is in the evening, in a comfortable recliner, with the lights down low, and with a glass of good bourbon.

🎶 All I really would like to say in the context of this amazing song and lyric is that no matter how old we are, when a new day dawns: Come up and feel the sun, a new morning is begun. Another day shall make it clear, why our star has guided us here. ❤ Carin in Sweden

I interpret this as looking back at the place we were, but chased "dreams" of the green grass on the other side, only to chase the green grass on yet another side... again and again. At the end of it all, realizing that life WAS truly greener on the OTHER side. But we had made it impossible to go back (bridge's glowing behind us).

Questa canzone scritta da Gilmour e sua moglie Polly che aveva sposata da poco é l'ultima traccia dell'album THE DIVISION BELL (1994)è una delle più autobiografiche della band perché ripercorre la loro storia musicale e personale guardando con un certo rimpianto e nostalgia le epoche che ne hanno segnato la storia. Dagli inizi alla prima frattura con la triste vicenda di Syd Barrett e poi i maggiori successi e quando tutto era meraviglioso e fantastico ecco l'imprevedibile abbandono burrascoso di un'anima importante della band come Roger Waters...ma poi termina con il suono della lap steel guitar magistralmente suonata da Dave che sembra lanciare nel cielo le grandi attese e grandi speranze di riconciliazione e pace interiore.

Welcome back! Beautiful song and performance. Arguably the best song from the post-Waters era.

Same concert...Coming Back To Life.

This was the last song on the last album of Pink Floyd. I consider Endless River to just be a collection of music they worked on and not a true album full of original songs. This being the last song of the last album was the perfect ending to a legendary band.

The “place of magnets and miracles” refers to the CERN Particle collider near where they lived.

Now, to really make things interesting, Nightwish did a wonderful cover of this song with Marko on vocals, on their End of an Era concert. It's a brilliant version, which even David Gilmour admired. It's the same song, but beautifully Nightwished .... taking British nostalgia and upgrading it to Finnish anguish and regret. You really MUST check it out.

The album this is coming from "The Division Bell" is often overlooked by PF fans but there are MANY great songs on it. Personally my 4th favorite after DSOTM, SOYCD and Animals. Best PF album without Waters IMO. Good job Saeed !

They've been bringing that bell around for about 40yrs and it takes 3 people to lift i

So if that's the opening number of the Pulse Concert imagine how it ends! Check out 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Run, Run, Run'

Good one 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Now you need to check out Nightwish's tribute to this song. It's live from their End Of An Era concert 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Probably my most favorite Pink Floyd song. Also good (and from the Division bell album): keep talking!

I really liked your reaction. Intelligent, insightful and honest. I’m an old guy who loves to see younger people experience and appreciate the music I grew up with. My top 5 bands are…..Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Toto, and Kansas. Any time you are reacting to those groups, I will be stopping by for a listen. Cheers from Canada 👍🎉🎸😎🇨🇦

“Is thy Charlie? Hello, Charlie………great.” IYKYK. The end of the studio album.

Two other versions of High Hopes worth a listen: From "Live at Pompeii 2016". David adds a much longer acoustic guitar solo to the end of the song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xPkTq-_C-3c.html From "Live at Robert Wyatt's Meltdown". David replaces the electric bass guitar with a stand up bass and adds a cello to compliment his guitar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lgE-FNhHy54.html

One of my favourite Floyd songs great slide guitar. David is brilliant 👏

Saeed, that is very well put! This performance was epic to the max, without overdoing it. Tasteful.

Please try high hopes extended version.. It has a breath taking keyboard solo towards the end of it..

i knew after hearing this song pink floyd was over

A Pulse favorite!

Wow. I had an urge to start clapping after the song finished. :) They made a movie called The Wall. People often react just to the songs from it, which is kind of lame, because the movie and the songs tell a story. The movie is a must watch - it has Pink Floyd music and imagery combining both animation and normal footage. When I first watched it in my teens, I was left literally speechless.

One of the greatest bands ever

❤

"In a world of magnets and miracles" Magnets? How do they work?

When you are child everything is exciting and new , then the years pass and adulthood drags you into routine and wage earning which is the way of life

Their music is one big rush!
