This is one of their best songs and that's saying something; don't care what Roger thinks, this is pure Pink Floyd

Oh, I have that one that’s still blinking and I think I had to change the batteries a couple of times. And what a great album it is to

I love this song for so many reasons. This album "The Division Bell", finally put to rest those who claimed that Pink Floyd wouldn't put out any more great albums without Roger. They did that for sure.

L33Reacts - It's very beautiful for me, very beautiful for you and for thousands of people, Pink Floyd is a phenomenon.

The melancholy,, the yearning for sweeter times, regretting the burned bridges - as a certified senior, this song hits harder every year. Appropriate that it was the last song on the last real PF studio album - looking back at the end of the road. Bittersweet.

I remember standing in the crowd 1994 in three concerts on that tour and beeing totally surprised about the more orchestral version, than on the studio album. I couldn‘ t wait then to buy the red-blinking live album! Great song! And no, as a fan from the early eighties, I never missed Roger!!

Great reaction. I truly hated to see Roger leave the band, but he did, so I am grateful that Nick, Richard and David forged ahead anyway without Roger.

"More mature" sound and "world-weary" as a band who had seen it all (the DB album, for me, is the pinnacle of the band's experimentation & prog sound, finding their melodic perfection on that last song of the LP). Perfect adjectives for that perfect song!

Saw this tour live in 1994. And it was "gorgeous". This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. The lap steel solo makes that thing cry.

Polly Sampson's (David's wife) high point as a lyricist.

Saw this tour in 1994 at the Pontiac Silverdome (Michigan). Floyd played Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, and David Gilmour announced that it was the first time they played the entire album since they did it back in 1975... in Detroit. Talk about cold chills! Fantastic concert.

I was there. One of the best nights of my life.

Me and my now late hubby went to Division Bell tour in San Antonio. Floyd knows how to put on the best show ever. There was such a diversion of people of all ages there. Of course, the whole stadium was smoky. We were on the floor. Probably one of the best concerts I’ve been to in my whole life.. I would say next to the Beatles Pink Floyd is my favorite. But I lived seven decades, so I have lots of good music to love. I’m sure I don’t have anything to say that hasn’t been said already . Thank you for this despite feeling rather sad missing the old man😢

This is my all time favourite Floyd song. A close second is , On the Turning Away …..and the best version of that is from the live show 1989 (I Think) recorded somewhere in the USA. It also is breathtaking and an amazing guitar performance. Pink Floyd and Supertramp are my top 2 all time. The musicianship and song writing of both groups set them apart from almost everyone else…..Steely Dan being #3 for me. Cheers from Canada 👍🎶🎸😎🇨🇦

Just got my tickets for David's London show. So ecstatic! I know he's not playing much Floyd stuff in the set, but I hope he plays this one!

Not a bad song to start a concert with !!!. Soundscape is the right word Lee.

I was so lucky to have been at these gigs. Earls Court 1994. It was the most amazing concert I've ever been to, along with the Prince 1988 gig I saw from the front row. Happy daze.

What a concert.

I just feel cooler when I listen to Pink Floyd ❤

Enjoyed your reaction to this classic performance!!! Yes, this was a new song off The Division Bell. I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd on this Pulse tour in 1994 at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. There were 47,000 fans and I had 18th row seats on the floor!! An experience of a lifetime!!

Pink Floyd is one of the few bands that can have a better live audio experience along with the video. They just mixed things so well no matter the studio or on stage, incredible sound. To go with incredible lighting and special effects. Great stuff, react to that entire concert, well worth the experience. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

High Hopes one of the best songs.

Thanks Lee for doing this!

I was at Pulse tour and anxious to watch this new Album they played on the last part of the show ! it was great in the Montreal s Olympic Stadium ! memories engraved forever ! lol ! hope you like it ! 😎

Blows me away that you were born the year I saw Pink Floyd. I feel old (heh heh). Glad we both made it over the years to here and now. Rock on bro.

Now this, this is music.❤

Thanks once again for doing this one Lee, I knew you’d appreciate it. I listened to it about 10 days ago ( for about the ten thousand’th time) on my roof terrace in Seville, having smoked a blunt of considerable size and content, looking over to the cathedral. A special time, this song moves me as much today as on the day it was released and at the 2 Pulse shows I experienced in Earls Court, London, where the show was filmed. Jeez, that was a long sentence😛 Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed it and I’m sure I’ll be requesting more from Pulse next month

Nailed it. A wiser more mature PF. Beautiful song.

It's almost impossible to comment on what Pink Floyd was. All words trying to describe them have already been spoken, yet all words come up short. MAGIC is all I can offer. If this is the 1st song you've heard from this Pulse concert, man are you in for a treat. This is possibly the best concert ever. Every song touches every fiber in your soul and triggers every emotion know to man.

I've actually done a few from this. It's all in the pink floyd playlist! This concert is certainly phenomenal. It defies description.

This is a beautiful song reflecting his age and looking at his life. Their shows were an immersive experience--this show gives one a glimmer. what does it say about the commitment that the band tours with an actual church bell? All of the touring members had been together for decades when this show was filmed. Very much a family affair as well. Guy Pratt was married to Rick Wright's daughter at one time--plus, he is going out with Gilmour on the 2024 tour for Gilmour's new solo release at age 78.

Pasarán 200 años y la gente seguirá escuchando a =Pink Floyd

A kinder, warmer Floyd is what you were thinking, I believe.

Don’t forget the girls Lee. Understated, but them out and you would notice one hell of a difference.

Masters! Enough said. Saw them 4 times.

Another reminder that Pink Floyd were frequently better live than in the studio - perhaps the freedom of time helps, and, by golly, they know how to use time! ❤❤❤

5:28 to 5:33 I saw your eyes light up on that guitar work, so did mine when I first saw the song

Love this song , beautiful melody , slide solo is one of my favourites !

I see many Nightwish reactions in your playlist... Have you listened to the Nightwish tribute to Pink Floyd? ... A live version of High Hopes that is first class IMHO ..just a suggestion, thanks for all the great reactions

I'm glad you said that Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are your favorites because their my favorites too, along with Black Sabbath , saw all 3 many, many times, concerts that l'll never forget, oh! This was the last tour that l was them but resent l saw Roger Waters, l just can't get enough 🤘🥰🎶

i love how we just look at your eyes and see the music hit

We had the greatest music.

The whole band was incredible on the whole tour. Jon Carin on keyboards doing all the orchestral and sound effects as well as keyboard parts Richard can't play. David did sing The Endless River wich was the ambient recording of Division Bell outtakes. Check out a bootleg called Just Warming Up. It is a soundcheck recording from the Pulse tour

do the whole album! you won regret it

LOVE Division Bell!

PHENOMENAL SONG FROM A PHENOMENAL ALBUM

Btw, Dave Gilmour has a new album coming out in September, "Luck and Strange" is the title. It's being released on the 6th of September; strangely enough September 6th is also Roger Waters birthday.

The ‘endless’ river.

Yes, „High Hopes“ is from their 94 Album „Division Bell“ and was a new song back then. The „division bell“, the ringing of which „has begun“ (according to the lyrics and verse one and clearly audible throughout the song) is a synonym for decision making in British parliament. In the context of the song it stands for the division of friends and decisions we make in life and - ultimately - the passage of time („the water flowing the endless river forever and ever“)! This is the Floyd without Roger Waters and more influenced by Gilmour (which was also identifiable in their previous albums in songs like „on the turning away“) Another underrated song from this album in my view is „Keep Talking“.

What can be said,... Yup, a nylon string Spanish acoustic, in my day we learned to play guitar on nylon string acoustics. Not sure if that's still being done today, I started guitar lessons in 1967!

The Division Bell is a fantastic album. The people who dislike this album, sometimes obnoxiously so, are the ones who claim Roger did everything and was Pink Floyd, while claiming the others were expendable and unimportant. As you can already tell, they couldn't be more wrong. TDB is probably the first time they sound like a cohesive unit since Wish You Were Here due to Roger's ego blowing up. I saw them on this tour the first night they played Dark Side in it's entirety for the first time in 19 years and it was amazing.

I think the word you might be looking for (or one of them) is peaceful. Roger is one of the best lyricists ever, but he had a lot of anger and bitterness, and when he left, he took all of that with him.

have you done the wish you were here from pulse?, now THAT is gilmours vocals on FIRE

On a totally seperate observation - Dark Kingdom by Frank Frazetta. Have you ever explored the works of Boris Vallejo?

Lyrics by Polly Samson, Gilmour 's wife. Because after Waters left, somebody had to step in. Gilmour is a extraordinary guitarist, singer and composer, but not a lyricist.

Dont leave out Bass player, Guy Pratt. He is married to Richard Wrights Daughter. FYI.

I think the word you re looking for to describe this itteration of the band is..... Less Angry. I think they are more thoughtful.. This is a song about their youth in Cambridge... and a lot of the references are places and sounds that they all hear. And yes... it was, "The endless river".... The viual on the cirular screen at the back showed guitars floating on a flowing river. Keep on rocking young sir.

The controversy is that after The Final Cut, designed by Waters to be the band's final album (hence the name), Gilmour and the rest of the band wanted to do more. They went to court over the name of the band, in fact, and Gilmour and the rest won, and were allowed to make the couple more albums and tour on them. Purists will say that, sans Waters, it's not the same band... and they have a point; up until that point, Waters had been the artistic leader of the band to be sure. There are even purists who say that everything after Barret left the band, and the arrival of Gilmour aren't "real" Pink Floyd albums (meaning there are only two then). On the other hand, bands always evolve (hopefully) so whatever you believe in terms of if this is "real" Pink Floyd, every version of the band stands on it's own merits.

Try the Nightwish version of High Hopes, its worth it!!!!!

It's a Spanish guitar that David is playing.

the album Division Bell, is truly amazing. not a bad song on it for me. but i get it, its all opinions.

Their last great song on the last album where Richard was alive still alive when released..

I is more into Led Zeppelin, but this is a good song I like it.

❤❤❤ 👍

Maybe my fave Floyd song, and then I get reminded of the Animals album. So bitter sweet.

yes, the bell is great. but outstanding is from my point of view, that the bell is the whole time off beat

Do yourself a favour and listen to the whole concert it will blow you away. It is on you tube - live from Earls Court London 1994
