Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Live) 1990 | Singer Reacts & Musician Analysis

Shine on You crazy Diamond RIP Syd Barrett. Pink Floyd founding member & guitarist

An absolute musical gem! By the way, the short-cropped blonde, one of the backing singers, is Clare Torry. Yes, the Clare Torry who sang the fantastic The Great Gig in the Sky in 1973 and on the album The Dark Side of the Moon.

Even better with Candy Dulfer on the sax. I've almost forgotten, that she played with Pink Floyd at that time!

Shine on You crazy Diamond, a song written about and dedicated to founder member Syd Barrett. Syd departed from the band in 1968 after becoming mentally ill due to his excessive drug use. His mental health deteriorated to the point that it was affecting his ability to integrate with the other band members and create and perform as a musician. He was replaced by his former school friend David Gilmour who would previously on occasion be brought in as second guitar. Reaction ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Selection ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was at a show from that era. May, 1988, momentary lapse of reason. Arrowhead Stadium. This was their opener. Sky still brilliant pink and orange from the sunset. This video brings me right back to that day. SYD (S)hine on (Y)ou crazy (D)iamond. Unbelievable concert.

Making a legendary cameo, is one of the worlds greatest saxophonists, the awesome Candy Dulfer. A huge fan of hers since seeing her first at this very concert, she truly complemented the greatness of Pink Floyd here at Knebworth.

listened to entire album all weekend on a Pioneer system with huge speakers...in a 8'x8' living room....whatever year it came out...ended with some Moody Blues...I came out very mellow.

David is a wizard . He can take you to so many amazing places just with his masterful playing. You only get one like him in a lifetime. Glad I got to be alive in his time. Hats off to the Sax player as well. Awesome.

Here is a little secret, Millie...thank you for this authentic reaction, by the way. Pink Floyd/David Gilmour always have put on a fantastic live performance, wherever they are. Each live performance is unique in its own right, there are no rules other than enjoyment of the piece of music written....compassion which is unique in its own right through the musical masterpiece set forth. This is why you need to explore Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, even Roger Waters, independently. The sound of Floyd transcends all boundaries. I'm not going to pick one live performance/song for you to check out next because whatever you decide will be fantastic, we promise. The catalog is vast, so prepare yourself for a musical journey of a lifetime....enjoy the ride. Thank you for exploring the best side of music with Pink Floyd!!!!

You were completely enthralled Millie. Done my heart good to see someone enjoy the Floyd so completely

Oh man, it's so great to see Candy Duffer again. Still killing it on that sax.

I can't believe that this is the first time you've seen a live performance by PF. Check out anything from the Pulse tour (there's 2 1/2 hours to choose from) as there isn't a bad song in it, but for me the highlights are Comfortably Numb, The Great Gig In The Sky, One of These Days, Keep Talking, High Hopes and Run Like Hell (the finale)

I guess this was the best live performance of Shine On You Crazy Diamond ever! Candy Dulfer did a perfect job playing the solo, It's a rare emotional expression with an Instrument like sax. I guess that she thought: "I'm playing with the creators of The Dark Side of the Moon, so I should play as If was the last time In my life!".

They have always put on such great concerts.

Listen to them play "Comfortably Numb' live at the Pulse Concert.

Pink Floyd "Echoes" Live at Pompeii 1972 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics and a Dave Gilmour with No Shirt. Gods playing to Gods.

Holy crap...did you ever shine while watching that. You know great music darlin. 👍❤🤙

Looking good and love your reaction Millie!👍

Splendid Version of this Masterpiece. Grazie Millie
