NEW FAVORITE BAND??? Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away (Live) | Reaction 

One of the best lines I ever heard was: "Some people wish for a guitar for Christmas, Guitars wish for David Gilmour."

When she hits that note with the solo…… biblical level goosebumps Every. Single. Time.

In my humble opinion, this is one of their best. They lyrics really hit deep and make us take a closer look at ourselves. I've asked my kids that this song be played at my funeral.

Its strange that you're not prepared to feel when you hear Floyd for the first time..... and then you feel EVERYTHING

Pink Floyd saved my life...

Pink Floyd doesn't create music, they create audible beauty.

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. 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. 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

Pink Floyd always stands alone in their unique style - so many bands are unique of course but Pink Floyd is just on another level.

These old guys did one thing that young artist don't: Rehearse. You don't need auto tune when you practice. You don't need a machine to play the instrument when you practice. You don't need a producer to make it better in post recording, when you practice. Music is work. It's not all fame and adulation.

The Three Greatest Live Guitar Solos.... Pink Floyd-David Gilmour - "Comfortably Numb" - "Sorrow" from the 1994 Pulse Tour... And This "On The Turning Away" 1987 "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" Tour...... I saw them all several times.

You should really read the lyrics to this. It’s one of their best, lyrically, imo. Talking about people turning away from the horrors of the world because it’s happening to someone else or somewhere else. No more turning away from the coldness inside. Very deep and still very true today.

This is my favorite Pink Floyd song ever. Possibly my fav song ever. The lyrics are so powerful and relevant. It never fails to remind me to be part of the change, not the turning away. It is one of the greatest songs ever.

Sorrow. Keep Talking, both live. Best live performers ever. Don’t see them up there “look at me and how great I am” like a lot of performers do. Shout out to Nick on drums, he is on fire on this one.

it was always Pink Floyd and Zeppelin for me because of my Dad!

David Gilmour - My favorite guitarist EVER !! His guitar sound takes you to another place... I was lucky enough to see them LIVE at the Superdome. OMG. Pinkimus Floydus BOOM !

My favorite band of all time

That lady knocked that note right outta the park!! Any takers on whether she has ANY crystalware in her house that isn't shattered?? Or some poor guy in the front row wearing glasses that are getting cracked??LOL

Pink Floyd are "on a different stratosphere". You got that right, bro.

I saw Pink Floyd live at Giants Stadium in 1994 -- probably the best concert I've seen

@ 6:12 when the guitarist went wild, I just about choked in laughter when you said “OK Purple Rain”. -genx’er

The three ladies are Machan Taylor. Durga McBroom and Rachel Fury. Performing live on stage with Pink Floyd speaks for itself.. All three have phenomenal voices!

ZEPPELIN IS REMARKABLE in their own right and are genuine ROCKERS, FLOYD however I have always seen them as not rockers, BUT AS MODERN CLASSICAL COMPOSERS. Their music has the slow soft vibe or classical music and the UPBEAT Hard feeling of the classical music that then goes back soft. PINK FLOYD IS JUST ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL than MOST BANDS, ELO is also such a band.

Pink Floyd is in a category all to themselves! This song just smacks your ass right in the heart. David Gilmour and that guitar and his singing will give you chills!

You"re absolutely right.... havung the ladies and their angelic voices in there adds so much 👍👍😎

There are so connected to the spirit wisdom that everything what they do touches your Soul 🙏💜

Was very fortunate to see Pink at Pittsburghs, Three Rivers stadium in 94 or 96 (can’t remember what year) for the Division Bell tour!! One of the best shows I’ve been too!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

best band of all times 😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I saw Pink Floyd in Mannheim, West Germany, in 1988 (Momentary Lapse of Reason tour). It was incredible. The light show was out of this world, and, of course, the music was beyond any other artist I've seen live.

On The Turning Away and Sorrow have the two most criminally underrated guitar solos of the entire history of this band.

I attended the fourth 1987 show in Los Angeles at the Sports Arena, and you are correct in how they present their music, in that they seem to highlight different aspects of their songs, making them flow from beginning to end. Great reaction.

I understand your feelings about Led Zeppelin. They’re pretty much my 2nd favorite band. Hard to even compare them with Pink Floyd because they’re so different. And then there’s Yes and ELP, two other incredible bands that deserve a deep dive into their early years (Live concerts in the 70s.)

Pink Floyd is legendary! No other Rock band in history is like Pink Floyd. It's crazy, they use the same instruments as virtually all the Rock Bands ever, yet they sound soooo different and unique. I guess when you sell over 450 million albums worldwide, more than any other Rock Band in history, except The Beatles, )600 million), you must be very unique and talented. You've listened to a lot of PF Van, you know how they take the listener on a cerebral journey, that's a powerhouse of talent! I don't know if you're aware of how they got their band name, after a few different ones they settled on Pink Floyd. Now, Pink Floyds got much of their inspirations from ole' time American Blues players. And they took their band name from two of those American Blues players from the 1920s and 1930s,.... Their names were, PINK Anderson, and FLOYD Council!

Love this song so much! It's hard to compare Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd; they're both great but they're very different from each other.

Right off the bat I’m back!! Not dealing with the chat is letting you focus. That’s the you we love! Welcome back

There really isn’t any way of saying a band is better than another. Just enjoy all of them.

Led Zep vs Pink Floyd? It's like choosing a favorite child, isn't it?

British musicians are often on another level. Another example is the group Yes, whose members were all professional musicians that played multiple instruments.

Saw them when I lived in Annapolis, they were playing at RFK, and the stands were rocking up and down. It was an absolutely incredible performance.

This is one of my favorite songs and top three music videos. I love everything about it, but, like you my man, those ladies just steal the show. I can't get enough. I loved your reaction. thx.

If you get a chance to go see Brit Floyd you should go . We went to the Orpheum in Memphis a couple of weeks ago and saw them and it was awesome , the light show and sound was absolutely great . One thing that surprised me was seeing about 25 to 30 black women in one group , all wearing purple tee shirts , and aging from a teenager to a senior citizen there to see the show . All I could do was smile , it was a great night .

I’ve probably watched this 30 times from different reactors, never noticed the lady with the crazy pipes until now, awesome breakdown.

This closed out the first set when I saw them at Capital Centre in October of 87, and then again at RFK in June of 88. They do these kind of numbers better than anyone. Hits deep.

At 9:49 the backing vocalist Machan Taylor just perfectly nails it and gives any listener heavenly goosebumps. I am mesmerized by the beauty and voice of Rachel Fury but what Machan achieves here makes me forget the rest of the band altogether for a few seconds. Interestingly she has her own channel. By the way, I love how you smile as though you had won the lottery! Very nice and communicative.

High hopes and learning to fly are beautiful as well 😊

I was mesmerized when I saw this live. The energy in the air was palpable.

Pink Floyd is always great. I was fortunate enough to see them in 1994 on this tour in the rain at soldier field (Chicago) in the 17th row. They sold out all the tickets in 45 seconds and it caused Ticketmasters computers to crash.

You know someone is listening to Floyd because you can't help but close your eyes to absorb the whole experience. Then Gilmore pierces you with his solo and you are gone. Roger Waters wrote some good lyrics in the first incarnation, but you can tell it was Gilmore that was the heart of the music Floyd created as it stayed the same in the second incarnation without Waters.

The best non band video of this song . a must see. Pink Floyd " on the turning away" (1989-07-15) FM by thinkfloyd61. over 7 million views.

I saw the 94 Pulse show at Syracuse Carrier Dome....AWESOME. Next day news paper headline ....... "PINK FLOYD, Still Number One In Space. after taking the audience on a Magic Carpet Ride through outer space where no man has ever traveled before."

Pink Floyd is Legend. 🤘

This should be an anthem for homelessness. Pink Floyd has made the history books...they felt deeply about so many things, and put music to it. Love Love Pink Floyd💕💕💕🎸🎶🎙🎹 check out Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The intro will blow you away.

The intro to “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is fantastic.. Smoke a bowl and just get lost in their music.

Delicate Sound of Thunder holds a special place in my heart, as it was my gateway into Pink Floyd, and to me, its one of the best live albuns ever made. Pulse is good, with amazing moments, but the way this was fllmed and put together is just perfect and flawless. Great reaction dude. Keep em coming

Best post-RogerWaters PINK FLOYD is A Momentary Lapse of Reason ©1987 (Album & subsequent Concert tour September 1987 - August 1988 ~ Another Lapse tour May 1989 - July 1989) and the LIVE Delicate Sound of Thunder Concert Film ©1988 ~ I saw them early in that tour October 1987 @MSG NYC This was/is still when PINK FLOYD was NON-COMMERCIALIZED (hint: as in PULSE) and those who knew KNEW who and what PINK FLOYD were and are... Prior to the internet In 1987 I was my last year in a Brooklyn HS of (approx 4000+ students) of those maybe 0.05% even knew who or what PINK FLOYD were. Also BEST Back Up singers EVER (1987-1988) Rachel Fury, Durga Mcbroom and Margaret Taylor

love it bro. i love when a black dude that aint seen much slow white music checks out pink floyd. the melodies are on point. love your videos! keep it rockin!

It is not like a masterclass. It is a masterclass! I've been fortunately enough to hear them live. Oh, boy! But it kinga sucks, because it makes me old.....

"it's like a Master Class ..." Exactly - well said.

My great uncle Buford Jones was the sound engineer for this tour as well as the album momentary lapse of reason which was recorded before the live album this video is from

Such an amazing and underrated guitar performance by the legendary David Gilmour. The lyrics are quite thought-provoking as well

Thid big encredible sound, thats whats addictive. Where else can you play your music Outside that concert hall? Nowhere! So you just want to keep playing show after show. Because when it ends. Youll never get to play so big and loud anywhere. You love the sound! And the people that come to listen. I liked playing in front of people but i loved playing for me and the chemistry of the band.more than anything else. I played for the love of playing . I didnt care if anybody showed up or not really.

RIPS MY HEART OUT EVERY TIME!!

This song had a real impact on me. I now donate to homeless organizations help out anytime l can. Just can't turn away anymore.

If I had to pick one band whose discography I would listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Pink Floyd.

Dude you got it right this band is epic.

these guys are definitely one of my all time favorite bands

It really warms my heart seeing young people experiencing, enjoying, and most of all, appreciating one of, if not the greatest bands in history. No auto-tune. Just pure perfection.

11:58 I think that, what he's trying to say is that, time flies when you're having fun.

Nobody tops “The Floyd....”😎🏆🥇🔥🎸

That's the wonderful Margret Taylor with that stupendous high note your referring too.

“Master Class” sums it up perfectly.

So happy you picked this version.

Something very special about this piece and this performance...there are not enough word's to describe the how soul stirring this is...Ty brother Van...if this was sugar it would make me a diabetic for sure!

Pink Floyd is the best live. Period

That was awesome!!!

My forever favorite band.💗 (But they really do need to be listened to with their full albums, the way they were meant to be listened to and while Roger was still part of the band. Concept albums like Animals and Dark Side of the Moon, etc.)

I was there and I probably enjoyed that performance even more than comfortably numb. Awesome. Great reaction thanks.

A class of their own 😎

Love them all,.........music is here to make us happy,.....

floyd ... are just something else ..... am sure they used to say the same thing ''few ( MANY ) years '' ago when they heard Mozzart , Beethoven ' Wagner etc etc ... music behond it's time ......... floyd are part of these iconics musics legends

I saw this tour in 1988 in Vancouver. Momentary Lapse of Reason tour.

You could check out the final performance of the original members in 1985 at Live Aid. 25 minutes and 4 songs of pure magic.

This whole concert is epic - used to watch it every weekend when I was younger :)

Welcome to the rabit hole of Pink Floyd :) Also i was waiting for that moment 9:51 Alot of people notice that Mrs Margaret voice.Insane hights.

Saw them live in '94, was good stuff.

I saw this show in Cleveland at the old stadium. It rained like Hell the whole time and no one cared. A truly magical night.

After watching you air drum, we gotta do a VC jam, Van! I can play this kinda style all day!

awesome sounds, in the true sense of the word 'awesome'

YOU WIN. FLOYD IS #1

I saw this tour twice! What it is to be young.

As far as I know Pink Floyd is the only band that uses what's called stream-of- consciousness in writing their music

There is no need to rank these bands. Zep and Pink Floyd are in completely different genres in a way. No comparison I can make. Is Rain Song better than Comfortably Numb? It's all personal preference. As a musician and music lover myself, there is no doubt both bands deserve massive respect but what you like better is up to personal preference. Musicians rarely really argue who is better. However, it is always understandable when someone argues for a great artist's inclusion to the top of the list. So many great artists and groups, it is a waste of time to try to rank them all. Many blessings to you Van!

David Gilmour is a musical genious as well as in production and direction of his band. He is a bigtime perfectionist.

The background singer is Margret Taylor.

I had the VHS of this and bought the DVD when it came available...they truly got everything right with this concert!

The lyrics and message of this song is incredible.

Check out RUN LIKE HELL and also SORROW, both live from the Pulse Concert (1994). The extended guitar solo and the spectacular light show combine for an unforgettable performance.

I sparked up my pipe for this reaction.... always with The Floyd. Thanks.

No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away?

You should get thier Pulse, Live DVD, the actual concert. It's a double DVD set. The first DVD is them doing a bunch of their hits. DVD 2 they perform the whole Dark Side of the Moon Album. And in that DVD there is an indoor plane crash. That's not a typo, an indoor plane crash. And that's all I'll say about it. Just get the concert and watch.. RU-vid search Pink Floyd Speak to Me/ Breathe/ On the Run Pulse Remastered 2019. The crash happens in the last 30-45 seconds..
