This Performance Is Amazing!!! Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Live (reaction) 

One of the greatest bands of alltime bar none!!!!!!

David Gilmour's wife Polly Samson Gilmore said that when they have a discussion or an argument she uses words (she's a published author) and he uses his guitar! She was making the point that you guys are that he actually sings with his guitar he just makes it sing. I've seen it said somewhere that guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas!

There is nobody like David Gilmour in my opinion. His guitar speaks to your soul.

I listen to slow Pink Floyd when I feel anxious, it always helps!

A song about Syd Barrett the great inspiration for the band who sadly fell into mental illness and was forced to leave. (S)hine on (Y)ou crazy (D)iamond is a tribute to SYD Barrett by the band.

David Gilmour’s guitar work is proof that often times “LESS IS MORE”!!

Just a side note, and a sad one really. The 4 Backing Singers were Durga McBroom, Sam Brown and her mother Vicki Brown, and Clare Torry. Torry was the studio vocalist on 'Great Gig in the Sky'. McBroom was on several of the major tours Pink Floyd did, as was Sam Brown. Vicki Brown was a session singer I believe for many years, but she actually had Breast Cancer during this particular concert and died about a year later. Pink Floyd are my GOAT. Great reaction guys, and your comments are spot on.

Thanks for showing respect to live music and your Passion 💫☮️💫

Pink Floyd, wish I could have seen them perform live. I grew up in the 70's. This was written about and dedicated to Syd Barrett. Syd unfortunately left the band and the rest is history. I really miss Richard Wright...his talent, skill, and natural ability to become one with his keyboards is unsurpassed.

Pink Floyd makes you feel everything ♥️

goosebumps everytime I hear their music….Pink Floyd♥️♥️

Every Pink Floyd song is a cerebral journey, never going to the same place twice.

My dad used to hate all the pop and rock music I used to play, but the first time I played this, he had to come closer to listen. He couldn't stop laughing at me lying on the floor with the speakers on either side of my head, so he wouldn't have to hear it. He actually turned it up!

I heard this song live `89 in Hamburg/Germany and ... I'm missing words to descibe And never ever forget the vocal backround singers.

Love watching the reactions of a new generation to one of the best groups ever

I had the great privilege of seeing Pink Floyd in concert in Birmingham, AL in the mid nineties. I was on the 19th row and it was incredible 🔥🔥

The best intro ever. Seen this live. Shine on you crazy diamond is about the genius behind Pink Floyd Peter Green who they lost, mentally, to drugs. They never forgot who started Pink Floyd, that was Peter Green. Love you two. London 💛😜💛😜

I've had the opportunity to see Pink Floyd twice!!! Once for the wall and twice for animals!!!!

Yes, Shawn and Mel…Pink Floyd was the greatest music! Loved watching your reaction’s, you two are adorable together!👍💙♥️🌹🌹🍾🥂

What makes it such a special song the song was a tribute to Syd Barrett one of the original members of Pink Floyd. It gives the song a different meeting when you know that it was a tribute to a great musician

It’s wonderful to watch others discover this music. Thankyou guys.

The saxophonist was the one and only Candy Dulfer. You should check out some of her own work as well. Brilliant!

Experience the pure genius that is Pink Floyd.

Good response! I consider this a musical masterpiece! I would only recommend a studio version with an original video clip for the first listening to this song. It's a little longer than what Pink Floyd presented at concerts. David Gilmour cuddles with his guitar. It is a pleasure for ears and soul ...

They were the best concert I ever saw! Words can't describe.

David Gilmour has always reminded me of Carlos Santana in how his guitar can reach into your chest and grab your soul.

Never heard this song before, but after hearing this song, I want more from Pink Floyd in my music library!

Brilliant as always

A Song for the Soul! 🎶💜🎶

Love Pink Floyd and your guys reactions to the 70s lol classic:-)

David Gilmour spoke thru his guitar so beautiful words cant explain

Fantastic,thoroughly enjoyed to be in your company keep up the love…😘

If you don't feel this... You have no soul.. Great reaction!

I absolutely LOVE you two!

The legendary Richard Wright on keyboards... He was the "sound" of Pink Floyd. RIP Rick.

The song was written about founding member of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, who was dropped from the band after he lost touch with reality. R.I.P. Syd.

This is a tribute to Syd Barrett, an original member of Pink Floyd - notice the title, Shine On You Crazy Diamond. He was their lead guitarist and wrote most of their early hits, but he gradually went nuts and was kicked out of the band in 1968, three years after the group started. Drugs played a big role in his mental illness.😀 Greetings from Norway.

A master at work, what more needs to be said.

Pink Floyd is not just music it's an experience 🙂

David Gilmore Guitar God, he bends the strings

Is this the Venice gig? Back in 88 a friend of mine taped this in vhs live on tv and we saw it togheter the next day, and many days and months after. This was what pulled me into Pink Floyd, more than 30 years ago.

Pink Floyd is life.

Try SORROW from their 1994 Pulse concert. By far, my favorite live performance. David Gilmour's guitar makes my soul happy. After that, same concert: HIGH HOPES LEARNING TO FLY COMING BACK TO LIFE TIME COMFORTABLY NUMB Possibly the greatest concert of all time. The massive stageshow just compliments the ridiculously awesome music. Wish I could have been there.

¡Lo más grande!

In front of 120,000 people in the audience

Perfect God like song, perfect reaction...Moved to tears

Great reactors you two!, I saw Floyd’s concert WISH YOU WERE HERE in 1975 or near abouts -I’m 65 today- Floyd’s music is timeless! Rock on!!

New Sub here. You both have awesome energy. As a child of the 70s I can tell you this is how we rolled. Much love

This song was released in 1975... it still sounds strong today!🔥⚡ Roger Waters (bass) wrote the lyrics about his friend Syd Barrett, who formed & named Pink Floyd in 1965... he was out of the band by 1968 because of his mental health deterioration ("crazy diamond") Roger Waters had left Pink Floyd in '84... so he was not in this performance. David Gilmour (guitar) still did a stellar job guiding Pink Floyd forward w/ classic members Nick Mason (drums) & Rick Wright (keyboards)

Someone once said, David Gilmore plugs his guitar into your soul. That was prophecy.

Every guitar hopes to get a Dave Gilmour for Christmas 😂

Good music always gives me good energy and none better than Pink Floyd! Saw Pulse concert twice, this was first song. Great way to start, tribute to Syd Barrett.

Candy Dulfer is the female sax player. You should hear her do "Lilly Was Here" with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.

Love your reactions, so feeling, so raw, so bringing us all home. Mahalo

Saw them sooo many times in concert l lost count, every performance was better then their last, so grateful for the wonderful memories✌

the gig in the sky

When you talk about making love to his guitar, check out Comfortably Numb from the 1994 Pulse concert. It is rumored that when it was over his guitar asked for a cigarette.

Mel, I have to say I love your hairstyle in this video, it really suits you :). This is my favourite live video of Pink Floyd, I loved your reaction to it, great performance hey? Keep up the great work guys, cheers. Their are documentaries on RU-vid of how they started and achieved their original sound and became the legends they are.

Now that's how you make a come back!!!!!🎸🎸🎷🎷🎶🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸HELL YA💖

I don't know if you're familiar with the story behind this song. The group's founding member, original guitarist/singer/songwriter Syd Barrett's nickname was Crazy Diamond. During the production of their second album, Syd went on an acid trip that he basically never came back from. His amazing songwriting ability just completely left him and his behavior became so erratic that the rest of the group had no choice but to remove him from the band. He became a virtual recluse, and one of rock's most famous drug casualties. They wrote this song about him for their brilliant 1975 album Wish You Were Here (my favorite Pink Floyd album). On the day they were recording this song, Syd actually showed up at the studio! The other band members hadn't seen him for years, and he looked so different, they almost didn't recognize him at first. He hung out with them for a while and listened to the work they were doing. Then, as suddenly as he appeared, he was gone. Supposedly nobody in the band ever saw him again. He died a few years ago, alone and just a shell of the brilliant musician he had once been. Listen to the lyrics in the song and you can hear and feel the heartbreak all the members felt singing this song about their former friend and leader. This song became their standard concert opener, and remained so up until the group ended. I got the chance to see Floyd live twice, and it was an incredible multi-media experience.

Those vocals are OP af 👌😁

Great reaction ...

This song was written for Sid Barret. An original band mate who had a mental break down earlier in the bands start.

Love Floyd. Try Learning To Fly live. Amazing lights as always 💙🎶✊

This song's about one of the band's founding members, Sid.

If Brit Floyd comes to your town, go see them. You will not regret it. Is saw Pink Floyd in 87 and 88, and I was still blown away by this tribute band.

Rock it Baby.😊

The timing 👍

The song was written as a tribute to the original singer Syd Barrett!!! Syd - shine on You crazy D- diamond SYD Shine on you crazy diamond!!!! God rest your beautiful soul!!!!💖🌹🇬🇧🙏

I'm sick of hearing who is the best Guitarist when judged on a couple of songs, DG is the GOAT on every song he plays with awesome rifs

Great video choice guys..really good !

Great reaction video!!

side 2 of that album used to be my lullaby

Shine on! Thanks for that!!

You guys are the best. Good music is alive and well

Sorrow from the 94 PULSE concert

4:49 “that ‘build-up’ … it’s all ‘ foreplay’ for the soul✌🏼

Are we dogs, pigs and sheep? Or are we diamonds! Do we shine or do we turn away?

Seeing Pink Floyd in 1977 for the Animals album tour outside in Soldier Field Chicago. One of the highlights to my concert going career.

A long time Pink Floyd fan. I bought this album on vinyl and 8-track when it came out in ‘74? ‘75?

1994 PF Pulse Live listen to SORROW, it is comparable to Comfortably Numb but a good deal edgier....one of my favorites

Thank you for sharing this with me

Well done on this review: I particularly liked how you described the opening sequence as soothing. I knew the subject matter of the song before I heard it the whole way through, so I always instinctively interpreted it as ominously tragic. But you're right to point out that there is a soothing quality about the opening of the song as well that was lost on me until you mentioned it; keep up the good work!

I never got to see them live but I did get to see Roger Waters live doing the Wall. I’d love to see David Gilmour live because for me he’s the heart of Floyd. You really need to do the entire Wish You Were Here because the songs literally bleed into each other and tell a story. It’s a tribute to Syd Barrett the original lead singer of Pink Floyd. It’s a long album but it’s well worth the time.

Saw them in Venice, some years ago, it was a gold gift, one of my best gig. Gilmour (with Blackmore, Page, Jimi, Knopfler, Clapton) is the goat

Good call Shawn & Mel.

Geniuses

Anything "Pulse Live" ✌🤘

Candy Dulfer on sax, she is a solo artist with hits with her own

So relaxed, so mellow. So say we all

Peace friends! ✌️🇨🇦🤘

Ppl typically don't take into account how difficult it is/was to create Pink Floyd music in the studio where you can do multiple takes and edit accordingly, but then they do it live and it's better than the studio version. True artists.

I was there 👍

You search for the secrets too soon you cried to the Moon. Referring to Syd Barrett's massive consumption of LSD

RIP Sid Barrett

check out Comfortably Numb from the PULSE tour (1994 )...amazing guitar solo..been said many times as the greatest ever...

Pink floyd classic there.

(S)hine on (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond 🙏🏻🕊

Y'all need to do the Doors This is the end. When i was young acid and this song was the bomb. And Apocalypse witch the song was in is a great movie on acid. My teen age years.

You two would love pink floyed the endless river… not much vocals just music for your eternal souls. Blessings
