Pink Floyd is the type of music where you go to your room, lay on your bed, turn off the lights, put on your headphones and go off into a conscious coma!
Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Cleveland Stadium, Saturday night, in a thunderstorm! The lightning was in time with the music Heaven opened up and joined us.
@@2869may Because without Waters, there is little to no bitterness - just melancholy with hope. The waters era had a message of dissatisfaction with life and society - not without merit by the way, but harsh. Division Bell is far more mellow. I love both eras equally, but for different reasons.
The album was "meh" when I first heard it about 15 years ago, when I first started getting into Floyd. Over the years it's definitely grown on me. And I mean exponentially. I now find it's the album I listen to most often. Not a dull moment throughout. And David's tone is my absolute favorite from his entire output. Just an excellent album.
The PULSE concert is perhaps one of the most important musical events that has ever existed in modern music. They are big do not usually need to block. That's why people deeply admire them. Saludos.
I literally wore 2 vhs cassettes of this concert out from watching and dissecting everything about this concert, i have a third vhs that i keep but I’m scared to watch it, I don’t want it to break, lol. But seriously this IS the Floyd concert to watch from start to finish!
Agreed! "Transformative" is kind of a cliche but I was 15 in the 90s when I first listened to Pulse...I basically threw all my CDs out and started anew after hearing it the first time. Semi-serious.
Right on brother!! 👍 If some one asked me: "If you could go to any live concert in music history, what concert would you choose?" My immediate first answer would me: "Pink Floyd, The Division Bell tour, Earls Court 1994"!!!! My immediate second choice would be: "Queen, The Magic Tour, Wembley 1986"!!!
This is from one of the most beautiful albums ever made. The Division Bell. Gilmour at his absolute finest. Every song on that album is a masterpiece. Especially Marooned, that is an amazing piece of music.
@@hopelessnerd6677 I did not realize that was him. I was getting in to Radio K.A.O.S. At the same time. What a great time to be graduating high school with all this as the theme for the life I had planned.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Tears of joy and bliss. “I took a heavenly ride through our silence. I knew the moment had begun. For killing the past, and coming back to life”🔥❤️🔥
@alan griggs Likewise, my friend! One of the best concerts I have ever seen/heard for sure (to clarify, I was NOT there to see it live, only on DVD). I especially dig the fact that they played "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety from top to bottom during that show, it's just so amazing (still)! Peace Out.
I have really enjoyed watching your heartfelt reactions to the music, artists, and lyrics over the past year. I appreciate your comments and thoughts on the music, and like watching your office wall evolve right along with your love of this music! The Internet needs more people like you!
i know exactly what you mean, Joseph. a couple years ago, i was incredibly sad when David auctioned off his instruments for charity... but immediately after that, my next thoughts were: those instruments were merely tools in the hands of a master craftsman. the tools don't hold the magic, the craftsman does.
My dad who is 77 now is a guitarist like me. Whereas he is more of a blues and rock guitarist than I, and I lean more towards neo-classical metal, and jazz fusion; one of the things we have in common is we both think David Gilmour is one of the best, if not *the* best guitarist ever. It's the feeling he conveys, and how he paints an image.
@@RichKolasa It does... the entire album is great..! "Lost For Words" talks about David and Roger's relationship. "I open my door to my enemy and ask can we wipe the slate clean... they tell me to please go fvck myself... Sometimes you just can't win..."
Fun Fact: the bassist on tour there is named Guy Pratt, he was also the studio musician who laid down the funky bass line on Madonna's Like a Prayer, among other work.
Saw this show in Cleveland Ohio 1994. First concert ever and an experience I will never ever forget. Nothing will ever come close to the sound of Pink Floyd!
This song, to me, is the perfect embodiment of Pink Floyd after Roger Waters. It sounds like rising up from adversity and thriving. Roger is a genius, it's true. But after the doom, gloom, and bitterness (albeit masterpieces) of the last few Floyd albums, the positive and hopeful vibes from A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell are most welcome.
Dude! As soon as Sorrow finished, I was like, "That's a piece of art." And now here you are saying their songs are like art! This is why you're the best my friend!
My favorite song on The Division Bell from the first time hearing it. And it was very relatable years later when going through a divorce. ‘Where were you when I was burned and broken?’ ‘Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?’ ‘I knew the moment had arrived for killing the past and coming back to life.’
David himself has said this song is about his second wife, Polly Sampson. They got married i 1994, the year that The Division Bell was released. He had already been divorced four years. The lyrics seem to align that the song is more about Polly than the divorce. SHE was what was missing and SHE helped bring him back to life.
This is why Pink Floyd and Rush are my favorite bands. Songs that speak to you and rock at the same time. Timeless. I'm 57 and the older I get they still stay relevant. Rock on
Live in Gdańsk is the absolute pinnacle of Pink Floyd. Jamel please listen to this! Thank you for sharing your feelings about this music, means a great deal to me 👍
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show 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… I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. 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.
Night driving in the woods, cracking cold ones and passing the J's. Oh crap I'm just in the garage watching a reaction vid. Thanks for the temporary journey back in time.
Thanks for sparking literally a flood of many dozens of memories for me. lols One of the things I'm sad my younger friends will never experience is all the outdoor "party spots" in the hills of Oakland we used to go hang out in back in the 70's and early 80's before the cops shut them all down. If I could point to one movie that sort of portrays that phenomenon, albeit with a cool but different Texan flavor, was _Dazed and Confused._
A few years ago, my son swapped a set of active pickups into a cheap strat his college roommate left him, and tested it out by playing the intro to this song. Such a beautiful intro, it reminded me that he was barely a year old when Pulse was released, and I played it all the time in the car when he was little.
Coming back to life in 2021 means continuing to reinvent and improve myself! Learning to get thru these strange days, 2020 set me on a new path and in 2021 I hope to improve on that! Best wishes to everyone on this life journey! Thanks for bringing me back to Pink Floyd 🥰🙏
Hello Jamel, I saw him play at the Hollywood Bowl in California 2016 and WHAT AN AMAZING CONCERT. I am glad I saw him play. I grew up listening to his music......... Peace !
Pink Floyd, my favourite band by far. It was making sense throughout my inebriated states and even more sense throughout my sobriety. They don’t even need to sing and their music will still drag me through every spectrum of emotion. The best. Glad you got to add them to your life.
This song reminds me so much of my brother. His wife left him years ago, suddenly and vindictively. He has never remarried, never taken his wring off. This song, coming back to life, reminds me of what he needs to do for himself. Killing the past, and coming back to life. Some people carry burdens life war medals. We sometimes don't recognize them for what they are, wounds. When wounds heal we move on.
Yes, the music of Pink Floyd IS about a journey! You connect so well! I never got to see them live! However, they helped us connect! They are all about humanity!
I want this song to be played at my funeral. This is an amzing song and gets lost because Pink Floyd has so many incredible songs. It's one of my all time favorites as well as High Hopes.
Loved your reaction to Coming back to life. It’s my favorite Floyd song as well as one of my all time favorite songs. It grabbed me from the first time I heard it from the Division Bell album and it’s never let me go. Love your reactions Jamal and like you always say let’s just be better humans and teach peace.
I attended the 1994 tour when it came to Pittsburgh. The second set was all classics, and I think all 50,000 of us sang every song in that set with them, word for word, and note for note. Now THAT was an experience!
"The way music becomes art...they way they paint the picture." Yes! Which is why Pink Floyd has been my favorite band of all-time. Thanks for giving them so much love!
Awe man! Every time I search for another Pink Floyd song, I see another reaction video of you listening to the same song. You have great music tastes!🎵🎶🎸
OMG!! I can't believe I'm JUST NOW seeing this!! This is one of my FAVORITE Pink Floyd songs ever! David Gilmour never plays it the same way every live performance. Edit: I'm your 1000th like on this brother❤
This whole concert makes me tear up. The production to the sound to the visuals the guitar tone the solos the singing the lyrics. Best live performance I have ever seen from anyone. You can feel that the band is giving %100 in this show.
First time I heard this, I was in Prague. I had just closed the pub I was drinking at, and was walking through the old residential part of town, cobblestone streets covered in two feet of fresh powder in the middle of January. The row houses, lit occasionally by a light through a window, with the new snow, which were magical, when I heard the guitar intro lofting through the streets, a ghostly sound. I walked towards where it was coming from and some beautiful apparently teenage girl was sitting in her second story window, one leg inside and one foot on the outside sill, and the song was coming from her room. She had what looked like a hand knitted sweater and scarf on, and the room appeared to be only candle lit. I sat down in the snow across from her window, my back against someone's home, and listened to her music selection for what must have been hours. Then I had to get to my place I was staying, because I was frozen by that time. I'm a Minnesota boy and I don't get cold easily, but I was sitting and not moving, spellbound by her playlist. I got up and she looked at me and smiled, and I bowed in a ridiculously archaic way, I don't know why, and she giggled and waved. The next day, I couldn't even find that street, and the rest of the time I was there, every evening, from 2AM to 4AM, I walked those streets, listening for music but never heard any the rest of my trip.
Jamel, we all understand why you're diggin' on some Pink Floyd. They're truly an outstanding group of musicians, song writers & performers. IMO, one of the best live sets ever captured was Gilmour's 2017 Live in Pompeii. The full concert was shot entirely in the unearthed Pompeii stadium & released on Blue-ray. Everything about it: the sound & video quality, special effects, musicianship of the entire band & the rest of it is PHENOMENAL!
I just want to say for the record, I have seen hundreds of live concerts, and played live on stage many hundreds of times, maybe over a thousand times. Of all that I have ever seen or done on stage, nothing compares to the time I saw Pink Floyd perform live during their Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour. This video was taken from the tour that followed the one that I saw. Many of the same musicians were part of this tour so you are seeing basically the same show I did. To say it was stunning to watch live simply doesn't do it justice.
This is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs. To this day I have no clue why this song is not more popular. Just the intro is just stuff that dreams are made of.
My first concert was Pink Floyd Animals Tour 1977. Many great concerts since, but for me, none ever topped Pink Floyd. Even my great grandson is named Floyd after the band. My granddaughter loves the classics.
I had the privilege to see them in Atlanta in 1994 (The Division Bell tour) Words cannot describe the emotions you feel when these guys perform live. A memory I will fortunately have for the rest of my life.
I will always remember getting to see Floyd on their Pulse tour in Columbus, Ohio. Greatest. Concert. Ever. Floyd is my first musical love and I've always come back to them no matter what genre I may be currently into. Floyd is always there.
My nearly 20 yr long marriage to a gifted musician ended while I was still in love with him. That was 16 yes ago. I put music, which I lived and breathed, away for 16 years because ...everything hurt. I'm just getting back to my own life inside of music. I had no idea what that long long silence was about, but I'm grateful it's in my rearview. A huge thanks to Jamel for being a portal for me, and to Floyd, who knows my soul.
I think we are all a bit closer than we think. Good music is good music...flat out. I'm glad u took the time to check them out. Haha I saw Pink Floyd several times and this is normal for them. U seem to be a good man and I look forward to watching more of ur videos.
Thanks for mentioning that. Animals is the album that made me decide I wanted to definitely be a musician. Been sibscribed to Jamels channel for almost a year, but didn't know he had a reaction for any of those songs.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 it was less then a year ago when I found the animals reaction. My first time seeing someone doing a reaction video. I don’t remember which song or songs he did. But I know I only found it because of Covid quarantine in March or April 2020. It might not be up anymore because of the blocking issues he has.
Great reaction man can see yiu appreciate floyd I was fortunate enough to be at this concert 1994 Earl's Court. I'm a huge pink floyd fan waters and gilmore I'm going to see waters August 31 2022 at msg nyc I'm from uk
