This Was AWESOME!!! Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb Pulse Concert Live Reaction 

I was watching an interview 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.

You're right regarding witnessing this concert live because they utilized 98 million dollars worth of lighting & sound equipment in 1994 money!!! They push 233,000 watts of power through speakers that were on the stage behind the audience on both sides of the audience and above the audience which basically put you inside a giant set of headphones!! Nobody has ever put together a better sound system than Pink Floyd live!!! I've seen them live four times in three different decades and I've seen 100 concerts from ACDC to led Zeppelin and everyone in between alphabetically and nobody has ever put on a better show than Floyd!!!!! And with the sound they only turned it up a little over halfway so there was absolutely no distortion but it was still beyond description powerful!!

Pink Floyd doesn’t produce songs. They produce experiences and emotions.

I really liked your reaction. I was at that very concert at Earls Court in London. I also went 'enhanced. I just stood and cried when the mirrorball lit up. The hall was filled with millions of stars ! You are in for a treat with Pink Floyd.

I was born in '75 and raised on classic rock and Motown. I missed the greatest generation in rock. I never got to see Jimi or Janice. CCR was long gone. But somehow, in the summer of '94, at 19yo, I was blessed to witness the Pulse tour. And I am content. I am eternally grateful that this concert was captured for posterity, and that I can briefly be 19 again forever.

I would highly recommend doing the whole concert, it is one of the best quality live productions ever. Great reaction 👏

Great reaction, no interruptions to the solos, no waffling on forever, just great to watch you react to this phenomenal piece of work. This was recorded live at Earls Court, London, which has a capacity of 20,000 people - and they filled it for fourteen nights in a row, that's 280,000 people that saw it over two weeks in London. I saw them 20 years earlier at the same venue when they were promoting Dark Side of the Moon.

Pink Floyd doesn’t produce songs, they produce albums. The best way to experience Pink Floyd is to find a quiet space, lock the door, put your headphones on and listen to the whole album from start to finish without any interruptions or distractions, just let it take you to wherever in your own mind it does……every song on their albums just blends into each other, often following the story from one song to the next. Start with their album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’……it’s always a good one to start your with, then move onto some of their other studio albums. Pulse is an incredible album, but with it being a ‘Live’ album doesn’t have the story flow as their studio albums…..

One to consider.. An early concert (of such) is.. Pink Floyd at Pompeii. (there's 2 parts to it.. Maybe do part one in a reaction.. Then part two in another... Or you may want to do the whole piece in one reaction) The track is called ECHOES) Well worth the journey!

One of the greatest bands ever

David Gilmour is my favourite guitarist, none of the others make me feel the way he does when pulling the strings.

Watch the crowd. Stunned silence.

One of the best guitar solos ever. Greetings from Norway.

I was there at Earls Court,west London,October ‘94,2nd night. An experience does not do it justice. It changed my life. I’ve seen almost two thousand concerts/gigs/shows as I worked in the industry from ‘78 through to 1991,and saw many iconic shows,but THIS one,this one was the best no question.

I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd in concert twice, and both shows were a feast for the ears and eyes.

Pink Floyd is music Art at hies best , this concert was and will be for ever the best ever been done in the history of Stage Present

Lucky to see this; and 5 other nights, at Earls Court.

was there , still get goosepumps to this day thinking about it. what a gig

I took my than 12 year old daughter to the Philly show.She passed away in 2021. This was such a great show she still talked about it alot..So now it s cherished memory.She was so worried about the gold lasers she had for some reason been under the impression that they would blind us if we looked directly at them,lol.. Anyways it brings me back to that moment when I watch this now.Thank you for taking the time to do the work to show it to us all. Have a wonderful day!

I was in Earls Court in 1994 for this Pulse concert and I still get goosebumps when I think about how fantastic it was.

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend and I at the time loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife loved concerts as well during that time. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.

The second solo wasn't a mic drop, but a guitar drop! Holy shit 🤘🙌👏🫶🎸

Pink Floyd will blow your mind. HANG ON!!! 😎

I was at this concert at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It was EPIC!!! I loved your review of this song and look forward to you reviewing the whole concert. Even after 30 years, the memories are still fresh in my mind.

I was lucky enough to see them a dozen times or so. Untouchable performances every time

That is the best live giutar solo ever from the best consert in history of music. 100% pink floyd is in front of music

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for this show. I went to London on my own for the first time and witnessed the most amazing spectacle ever. I was surrounded by people twice my age who were crying like kids to this performance. It totally set me off and blew my mind. Will always be my favourite gig ever.

I saw the concert live in Chicago at Soldier Field that summer and can attest to the fact that it was an experience and then some. Words fall short. Even this video does not do it justice... You just kinda had to be there. Check out "Time" by the next. You have to have heard it. You haven't even scratched the surface my friend.

I went to this concert (The Division Bell tour) in Phoenix, AZ at the Sun Devil Stadium in '94. No enhancements and still an amazing concert.

Grew up in the 60s, and always knew, that Pink Floyd knew something that“we don’t know“,I believe it more now than ever😂

One of my brothers worked for a member of Floyd for over 20 years. When our mother was terminally ill with cancer he and the other band members offered to pay for private nursing care. That is a measure of the sort of people they are.

"Coming back to life" is a great song from Pulse concert

The next reaction must be 'RUN LIKE HELL' from the same concert. It's a MUST. (remastered)

David Gilmour at Gdansk was a more recent concert (2008) but his version of Comfortably Numb played with a full orchestra will also give you goosebumps.

we travelled down from glasgow on a rickety bus. had to stop every hour to get the smoke out before we hit the major roads. what a day. coming home was a blur. great reaction man

I was fortunate to see them 4 times at Earls Court 15/16/17-27/10/94… absolutely amazing nights all of them. The sound system was out of this world 🌎.

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

Cool reaction mate, I had the pleasure of seeing them on this tour in 94. Seven of us set out from Glasgow to Rotterdam for the best concert I've ever seen. They played to over 5.5 million people on this tour. Sold out Earls Court for 14 nights x 20,000. Can't go wrong with any song from Pulse concert.

Fabulous reaction!!! I love watching people experience this for the first time! Thank you!!!👍🏻🇬🇧

Yes, it WAS "a hell of an experience" to be on this consert.... A life changing experience....

and thank you for a genuine reaction

The whole concert is about 3 hours long and contains the whole Division Bell album and the whole Dark Side album with all the usual classics in there as well, not 1 bad song among them, I was there and it blew my mind, absolutely amazing.

It's a wall of sound, the lasers vibrates to the music, so you can see the music, obviously you hear the music, and if you're there you feel the vibrations as well

People argue as to who was the best guitarist ever. I don’t really understand when each guitarist brings his own style and tone. They are each fantastic in their own way. David Gilmour doesn’t play fast. He doesn't play with technicality to a great degree. He does play with emotion. He is unique in that conveying emotion through music is a real talent. Not many can do it consistently. Gilmour does this with regularity. To me, he is a genius.

Lol... the moment he took a break, and says, "ok..." and that would be the next line. I agree with ppl who say you should watch the WHOLE concert. It remains the best show I ever saw... by a lot.

"LEARNING TO FLY" from this same concert is a must. Any song from this concert is an emotional and visual life altering experience. I only wished they did "HEY YOU" and "I NEED A DIRTY WOMAN" that night.

It was one of the best experiences of my life when I attended this concert at Rose Bowl, in Pasadena 🙏🙏

Great Reaction🌹. Greetings from Sweden

Excellent reaction. I've been listening to Pink Floyd since about 1972, and have always admired their ability to speak directly to the souls of their audience. I was lucky enough to meet their drummer, Nick Mason, a couple of times when working on a BBC project, but evidently, the rest of the band are as down to earth and matter of fact about their mythical status as he was. At one of the events, at Abbey Road (yes, I know, name-drop central), I gave him a hand to take his kit out to his car and carried the snare he was using, very carefully indeed, as it carried the logo from the Dark Side of the Moon, and was part of the original 'branded' kit he used on the tour. He just casually put it on top of the cymbal stands on the back seat of the car... No case... I wonder how much that would fetch at auction?

You'd be trippin if you were in that crowd. Awesome, man

We got to see this pulse tour 3 times . We rented a motor home and went from Seattle and then up to Vancouver British Columbia for 2 nights... Still the best Floyd show we seen was THE Animals Tour at the outdoor Oakland COLISEUM in California. That was the lo gest they played on the entire tour , the escorts were song's they hadn't played in 10 yrs or more and it was the original line up ...

My Sister was at that concert she said it was incredible.

Hi Alan, I was fortunate enough to see this show, not the night it was filmed, but two nights earlier. I was in front of the mirror ball so didn’t initially see it light up; I remember seeing all these moving white dots on the people in front of me and wondering what the hell they were. Then I noticed they were on me and those around me. It took a few seconds before I looked behind me and saw this huge rotating mirror ball. I then didn’t know whether to look at the stage or the mirror ball.😄 Fantastic show from start to finish.

Now you need to watch high hopes. From the same concert

another concert delicate sound of Thunder

I was there, Fantastic!!

I was at this tour in Earls Court London 1994. Brilliant concert, I was just under the glitter ball😂

Delicate Sound of Thunder is their 1988 live tour, I saw that gig at Manchester in the old football stadium at Maine Road, worth having a look at that as there is an evolution to the Pulse DVD, David Gilmour said in interview that if you are going to play live then you have to put on a show and they really do, I saw 2 nights of the Earls Court gigs in 1994 and have also seen David on his solo tours, I'll be at the Royal Albert Hall in October for his live shows as well.

I was so close to the front I didn’t even know there was a light show behind me until the end

I saw this tour in 94 in Philadelphia two nights in a row it affects me to this day.

I was fortunate to have seen Pink Floyd live once, never forget it. This version is a true masterpiece!!

Great reaction EB. Not too many pauses, more like this and I guarantee the Floydians will arrive.

I was there absolutely brilliant concert

It was loud you could feel the sound , any track at this concert is worth a visit.

to see how insane the light show at this concert was, watch Run Like Hell. also they played all of Dark Side of the Moon and flew a flaming airplane across the audience at the end of On the Run

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 4 48' military grade mobile generators. 1994 there wasn't 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.

You should hear this on vinyl ❤

Ahoy mate, you have to do all the songs from this concert, really brilliant talent all round, three cheers to you thanks

I was there and yes it was an experience like no other. The only one to top it was when they played Wembley Stadium in London which was on another level, but sadly did not record that one.

I saw this show in Germany. It really was out of this world. React to One of these Days from this concert. Absolutely amazing

You don't listen to Pink Floyd,you experience them!

Disco ball- jellyfish creature! I always wondered what that thing was. So glad you figured it out for me.

I was there in '88 standing 10m or so from the band as they played this. It was the greatest music I had ever heard, and we were all "enhanced". One of the nights to remember in one's life. Margaret Taylor was so hot that night she may have contributed to Global Warming.

Was their on the 22nd October Saturday night as this was filmed on Thursday the 2oth 2 days before! However they played 15 Pulse shows in the month of October earls court London so effectively you have 15 shows a record resident & check out shows from the American & European leg as every show has the same lighting etc they just changed the set list around to keep it fresh Some great bootlegs filmed by audience 🍀✌️👍

Real mega cool backdrop.

What you missed, by not watching the concert, before this, second (of 3) encores. For those of us who saw the '87/'88 tour. The circle was the only feature (no bandshell) they did have flying light assemblies, and the pig was WAY better (lol). But the circle never moved. Then in '94, with the bandshell, the circle was still the main show, but it occasionally disappeared behind the stage. Then, in this song, for the first time... the circle rotated down to focus on Gilmore. The previous tour also had a disco ball, but it was smaller, opened differently, and did not come from the same place. I REALLY wish someone would do the whole concert, instead of jumping to the encores.

If your heading down the Pink Floyd road, im in, time to subscribe. Been my favorite band since my brother made me watch The Wall in 84. I was 11 . Floyd and Maiden was always my go to music.

word. No one spends more money on shows than Pink Floyd.

This is the best Version of all the pulse concerts of this song, nice choice, i watched this live on Pay per View, as they were all sold out so fast.

All these concerts were for charity and pink Floyd didn't take a penny. Plus you had to be there as TV doesn't do it justice amazing. The best concert I have had the pleasure to attend and I have been to loads of them.

I AM ONE,,OF THE LYCKY ONE,,,I SE PINK FLOYD,,,,,, ,,LIVE,,,3 TIMES,,

Yes Please listen to the rest of the concert

I consider myself so incredibly fortunate that I was able to see a show on this tour (Columbus, Ohio, in May 1994). I'll never forget it!

Didnt see this concert...but saw them same year in Syracuce NY...a giant pig with laser eyes came out and looked aroumd at us in the audiance...I was soberish...so I stand by my memory!

So now that you've seen this, check out the finale from this show. Run Like Hell. It follows this song and you'll see why it's the finale. You'll see.

Peerless masters 👍❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well, I was there. It was the most amazing concert I had ever seen, and the best I will probably ever see. In fact, I pretty much gave up seeing live bands after Pulse. It was the very last word in live performances. Thanks for a great reaction and I'm glad you enjoyed it! One thing you don't get from the video is Pink Floyd's incredible surround sound, which had the sound completely filling and moving all around Earl's Court. Amazing sound - I can't imagine ever hearing better at a live concert.

The best £25 I will ever have spent for a tkt,30yr ago,still remember everything that went on

I had the chance to see this show two nights in a row during their visit to the Olympic Stadium in Montreal on May 23 and 24, 1994. Since I worked night shifts, I had to go to work after the show, and the buddies at work looked at me like I was high on drugs, yet I hadn't taken anything. With Pink Floyd, no need for drugs to get high, their music is more than enough and in addition, there is no danger of overdose. But seeing them performing live can become addictive, hence the reason for seeing this show twice.

i can see this one hit home mate

i cry every time i watch this video

Sentido y sensibilidad!

Saw em 4 times starting in 73. Tripping every time. The circular "screen" has been in every concert since 73 anyway. I was 13. No adult supervision.

I took 3 generations of my family to this, at the end they all looked at me as if to say, what the fuck have you done to me...Peace Bro.

Still got my ticket and Programme

Dave Gilmour,looks like a School teacher,plays the guitar like a Rock God.

Saw this tour in San Antonio and yeah there was plenty of "enhancement" there.

"Time " at Pulse Live next for another journey.

It is a stunning gig from start to finish, choose any song from it, you can't go wrong. I wish that I had been there. THE best guitar solo ever.

Fantastic 🕊️❤️🇬🇧
