If you have not already done so, Millie, you need to find yourself 3 hours, take yourself to a darkened room and watch the Pulse concert in its entirety. You can thank me later. 🙂 It will likely be your best 3 hours of the year.
David Gilmour -- among the best! Many of us love him because he showed future guitar players that you can be a great, melodic player without having to play 1000 notes a second.
Christmas 1979, getting "The Wall" album as a gift. Last year in High School and this track hits No 1 in the UK charts. It spoke to so many of us then and is still relevant today.
Yep, the perfect album for the angsty intelligent high schooler. I spent MANY an herbally enhanced hour with this blasting in the headphones. It's one of those 'world within itself' type albums that I really love.
At the end of the Pulse Tour, Pink Floyd played 12 nights at Earls Court in London. I was there for 3 of those nights, including the night that they taped the Pulse video. I’ll never forget it.
As far as I know, something the size of the Pulse Tour had never been done before - and has never been pulled off since (also 30 years later). They had the first stage with a computerized lightshow (unheard of in 1994!) and they had 3 stages all in all: One that they played on, one that was being assembled for the next show and one that was beeing disassembled from the last show! And the lights in front of the stage were airport runway lights (because nothing else powerful enough)!
The first time seeing the PULSE concert on TV I literally teared up and went weak in the knees. I would have given anything to be at any Pink Floyd concert, but for this I would have given away my first-born puppy dog, and two cats to be named later. That bass-line always gets to me. I tried to learn bass, but I was missing a little thing like any kind of musical talent.
One of the best albums ever. So many kids of my age (in our angsty teen years) really disappeared into this album. Of course, it has to be pointed out that a lot of people want to dump Roger Waters down the memory hole and give all the credit to David. But Roger was the primary driving force behind these classic era Pink Floyd albums. If you haven't listened to Roger's "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking", it's an amazing piece of work.
Since you have already reacted to „Comfortably numb“, pls also do „High Hopes“ from the Pulse Tour. Seems you have been missing out in that. Same is true for „Shine on you crazy diamond“ and „Keep Talking“!
Your reaction to this was absolutely fabulous it's a shame that more people don't play this concerts version of brick in the wall on their blogs their lose I say pink floyd it's all been said stupendous incredible progressive sycadelic rock at its best
This was my favorite ; Pink Floyd - "One oF These Days" PULSE 1994 Remastered 2019 hole live is fantastic and Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii 1972 is mind blowing concert too. Quality and atmosphere is incredible.
yesh v bass line has always stood out 4 me, that funky grove which v whole song sways 2, n of course davids lead guitar n v meaning of v song, total package!, nice 2 c ur gen aprecatiing n ur spot on analysis. cheers frm au.
Guy Pratt is the bassist. He came in when Roger Waters departed. He's married to Gala Wright who is daughter of the keyboardist, the late Richard Wright.
You really need to watch the movie "The Wall", it is built around this whole album and would give you more understanding and appreciation for the songs. This song actually has three parts and the original featured a boy's choir.
The guitar solo by guilmor in this live performance is so exquisite and extraordinarily good Pure greatness to a level beyond imagination Incredible performance
Ahhh Millie, I love Pink Floyd. I love their music. It sends me to a special place. I hope you continue to follow them. As always, love your reactions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi Millie! I was a lighting tech for 14 years during this time. I knew the guy running the light board during this tour in the US. It took them 6 months to program this show! The lighting rig was transported in 14 semi trucks.
The reason it was called the Pulse concert was that they had programmed all the lights to respond to the music, something new at the time. As I've mentioned before, I was at the Kansas City version of this concert in 1994.
Saw them first in the 60s in a small hall supporting Hendrix and The Move. Seen them many times since. This was not only the best Floyd gig Iv'e ever witnessed, but the best gig I've ever been to.
I really enjoyed your reaction Millie. Especially enjoyed your appreciation of the bass and drums - that’s fairly rare in reaction videos. My sister saw The Wall concert in New York City in 1979. She told me it was an experience beyond words and she still says that 45 years later. I haven’t commented on one of your videos for quite a while. I won’t as how you’re doing because you’re obviously doing great! 🤟🏻
The concerts featured even more special effects than the previous tour, including two custom designed airships Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. 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 45,000.
This Pulse Concert at Earls Court was part of Pink Floyds' 1994 "The Division Bell" World Tour, it was one of the final shows of the tour, in October. The tour ran from March to October, and the Pulse Concert was the 105th performance of 112 shows, in 68 cities, in 17 countries, and it was a massive undertaking. Moving 3 huge stages around half of the world, with all the equipment needed for each stage to operate independently of each other. You mentioned the lights and sound production, Pink Floyd was always known for their elaborate live performances. Thay had the most state of the art quadrophonic sound system att, in fact, they had 3 separate, identical sound systems, and stages! You see that stage there with all the rigs and equipment, with the incredible lights? Yes, Pink Floyd built and owned 3 of them! Here a quote from Wikipedia about the massiveness of the tour,...

These were actually two songs. 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1' and 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2'. But Part 1 was not completed and transitioned quite harsh directly into Part 2. Normally 'The Happiest Day in Our Lives' follows Part 1 and then flows into Part 2.
They did not play the two preceding songs. I saw this tour at Soldier Field. It was only part 2. They mixed it up a bit. This Earls Court show preceded it with Keep Talking, while my show was Money. There was no transition. They began with the children and helicopter after a break.
It transitioned harshly because this video does not contain the complete intro. The only official upload of Pulse on youtube is the 'Restored & Re-edited' version from the official Pink Floyd channel. Everything else is uploaded by Pink Floyd fans, including this one, which unfortunately has part of the intro cut out. Frustratingly most reactors pick this video instead of the official one and they don't even realise that a part is missing.
@Pulsar77 Yes, there are about 15 to 20 seconds missing that have been cut out from the 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' Intro. 'The Happiest Day of Our Lives' was left out because after Roger Waters left the band they agreed in a contract that they shall not play more than four songs from 'The Wall'.
The Vari-Lite stage lighting system. Genesis, yes, THAT Genesis, became an early investor when the first crude prototypes were demonstrated to them in 1980.
Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole ! You should check out the song : Learning To Fly . Also please check out a band called Asia , your going to love them ! They have one of the Greatest Guitarist's and Drummers of all time , in the band. Have a great day 😘
Way back in the 1960's, a band called Pink Floyd INVENTED the entire concept of a concert light show! Not kind of, but literally and completely invented it from scratch. Over the years, they innovated all of the big concert effects like movie screens with animation, lasers, stage smoke on a massive scale, even fireworks. All timed precisely to the music, which came somewhat later. Another thing they were famous for early on was the shear massiveness of he equipment package they brought along. Not only a lot of it, but the quality of it. Once upon a time, dressing up in matching suits was about all live bands had thought of. Most used house sound equipment, house lights, etc. So, they are the best at it for a very good reason. It was all their idea to begin with.
I was at the same concert in the Netherlands (1994). They actually used Quadrophonic (70's version of Dolby Surround) sound in the Stadium. That sounded awesome. If you like these lights and the Bass, watch "Run Like Hell" from the same concert (Closing song)
Another epic band and an astonishing performance. If you thought this was good anyone that hasn't seen it should check out Comfortably Numb, also from the Pulse concert in 1994, which has what is arguably one of the best solo guitar performances of ALL time. No joke, it is absolutely epic. The whole Pink Floyd The Wall film was played on an almost weekly basis when I was in a Student Halls back in the late 80's.
Pink Floyd learned from the Beatles (the pioneers of area shows) and the technical limitations they were bound to. They basically had a platform, some underpowered amps, and themselves. Floyd started adding films, lights, and ambiance to be more pleasurable to the ever increasingly sophisticated audiences. Even in the tiny clubs, and parties they started at.
Seriously, we went to see Pink Floyd. For the music and ambience. We try to get tickets to later shows, but they would sell out in hour's. Even cheap seats were around a $100. It was always worth it, though.
Yea, the Wall is a fantastic album. The Pulse concert is amazing. Every song is performed excellent. I refer to David Gilmour as Mr Perfection. He always seems to play and sing perfectly 🎸. Yes, Pink Floyd was a game changer. So much more to find and enjoy! 😊🎉❤
Seeing this tour live... was amazing. In Vancouver BC Place they made a 60000 seat stadium into an amazing concert venue. Surround sound for a stadium for the intro for Money. This was the number one concert for me still to this day
This is taken from "Pulse" a great tour, but then Pink Floyd have always done great tours... I am Italian, although I have always loved Pink Floyd I have only seen them live once in my life, in Venice in the 80s and it is an unrepeatable experience.... think that they set up the stage on the water and about halfway through the concert they had to lower the volumes because the monuments began to collapse due to the vibrations.... I'm honestly surprised you don't know "The Wall".🙂
The Wall is really meant to be listened to from beginning to end, the live version and the studio version, both equally as good but very different, catch the movie also... have a great day 😁😁
Millie, As I watch you immerse yourself in to this classic song by one of the best rock and roll bands EVER. I can not help but think you pretty lady were a hippie chick in another life.... You are enjoying this SO very much.. And your hair is great in this video!!!!! Pink led the pack when it came to light shows and lasers!!!!!! I am pissed off at myself for never seeing them live. Bad Mike!!!!!! I sincerely hope you continue to explore this band and their timeless body of work...... You are SO mature to be SO young..... Rock on (crack on) lady...... Did that guitar solo touch your very soul OR what?????? Pink is one of the best EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Pink re-set the bar for concerts so to speak.
David guilmor for me is the best guitarist and the guitar play on this is well there are no words to discribe how great that guitar solo is Simply magic
If you have not already done it, have a look and listen to Money from this concert album. They play a monster version of this tune here. I have seen them dozens of times, including Roger Waters, David Gilmour tours in addition to the times I saw the whole band, and this is the best version of Money they have ever done. Most especially if you love the funky breaks. Money, for sure.
Excellent stuff. I appreciate them now than I ever have before. It's way too mellow for me to be an avid listener. In fact, I like Korn's cover of this Nu Metal version.
Thanks Millie I am new to your channel. I love your reaction to older music like this. This a classic. Not sure if you have reacted to Keep Talking at the same concert. If not you should try it, it will blow your mind! Keep up the great reactions please
IT WAS! 1994 Pulse tour Indianapolis. Mind. Blown! The Floyd were the first to use Quadraphonic sound in concert in 1967. Today we know it as Surround Sound.
Hi Millie, I love a girl who is into Pink Floyd to me one of the biggest classic rock bands ever seen other than AC/DC, I love the song "a great day for for freedom" and "ather gig in the sky". I am an australian viewer if i can have one suggestion for you to check on who i a solo artist who has a great stage presents is a guy by the name of John Farnham and in particular the song "Your the voice". I hope that you will check it out, i think that you love it
Pink Floyd is the creator of the Light Show and they started back in the late 60's and was big back then and 60 plus years later and people are still Amazed by how Great they were. Light Years ahead of everyone else. I seen that concert Best Show Ever seen and I seen a lot of Concerts.
I was a lighting tech in Branson Missouri during this tour. We did the very first VeriLite install in a static setting! We installed 1/3 the number of those lights that was on that tour! It took 18 semi trucks just for the lighting rig! The President of VeriLite called and told us he was sending tickets and backstage passes for the entire lighting and sound crew to see them at Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium. The tech they sent to us to assist in the install, was running the lighting board!
I went to every Pink Floyd Concert from Astronomy Donamie in I believe it was 1965 to their last tour in 1990. Each and every concert was an experience of sight, sound and prophetic lyrics. I also followed Yes, Allen Parsons, Genesis, Emerson, Land Palmer, ELO but, then that's when you could buy a concert ticket for an affordable price, not like now.
From a staging point of view I've never seen a better concert than Pulse. Every track is brilliant, but for bonkers staging check out "One of these days" and "Run like hell"
And we know not to interrupt a Gilmore solo very well done, just watch and listen and be amazed. And yes I was at this concert at Death Valley Clemson, SC
