Gilmour's solos are the only reason the aliens haven't blown us to hell.
Outer space only exists in you mind
I couldn’t agree more!
Haha, that needs to go on a shirt!
Lol true ..one of the best comments I've ever seen on YT.
👍🤘
Preston, I think you might just be right, 100%!
Dave Mustaine said, “David Gilmour does more with one note than most guitar players can with the entire fretboard.”. No one gets more feeling out of their instrument than David all while playing less.
Absolute truth! Thousands and thousands of technically talented guitar players, who love to shred; however, most of the time it just sounds like gibberish.
Anyone
David Gilmour wad 70 at the time when he did the solo, and he absolutely killed it.
Fun fact: That guitar he is playing here is his #1 famously called "The Black Strat". He has owned it since 1970 replacing his original standard black Stratocaster that was stolen just weeks into owning that one. The Black Strat has gone thru some modifications over the years to get the sound David wanted but still the same instrument.
He recently sold it (2019) thru Christies auction house along with a large collection of his other guitars including a powder blue Fender Stratocaster with the serial number 00001, the first production Strat from Leo Fender himself.
So, The Black Strat, a 1969 Fender Stratocaster which David Gilmour used to record Pink Floyd albums “The Dark Side of the Moon,” "Animals", “Wish You Were Here” and “The Wall,” and what he played in this show and many others sold for $3,975,000, some say it was actually 4.1 million - either way, a new world record for a guitar at an auction. The buyer was Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
$21.5 Million total was raised for the whole collection of 126 instruments.
It all was for charity.
Whoever bought the Black Strat for ~$4M got a great deal in my opinion.
@@leonardwashington6456 It is by far the most expensive guitar ever paid for FYI... and the "whoever" person is, as I stated already is Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.
@@artsilva ah. Never heard of him.
@@leonardwashington6456 All you need to know is that he is the rich owner of the Indianapolis Colts NFL franchise team.
I just love reading you guys are so informed they don’t have a clue you know your PF history Art crazy dig it
The Pulse concert was even more spectacular both musically and visually. Gilmour is one of the greatest guitarists in rock!
Agreed... Pulse would've been the better version. to react to.
The Pulse version is the greatest live guitar solo I've ever heard in my 55 years on the planet. It's note perfect. Way superior to this version.
I saw Pink Floyd on that tour in the Alamodome in San Antonio on Easter Sunday in 1994. It was the best concert I had ever seen for over 20 years until Tool dethroned them a few years ago. 😊
Agreed. The remastered Pulse 4K CZcams version in surround sound is incredible. Not only for this song, but every other song they played at that concert.
Pulse!!!
David was 70 here & may not have quite had full dexterity, which makes this even more amazing than it appears at face value! Such a talent. You guys should out the Pulse ('94) version on your own time....or on here lol
The Pulse version is quite possibly the greatest solo and live performance ever
@@davidotto3731 💯
Im pretty sure everyone was requesting the Pulse version on CZcams ... why did they do the Pompeii one?! Pulse version is much better ... ugh.....
@@davidotto3731 Agree except for the "quite possibly" part. That's pretty unquestionably the best solo ever played, at least so far as I'm aware.
The. Concert was in the Amphitheater of Pompeii. The oldest amphitheater on the planet. David Gilmour was the first live performance in that amphitheater since 79 AD . The band playing was not Pink Floyd, it was Gilmour's personal band
David Gilmore was 70 years old when he did the concert you just watched. He is not a master guitarist he is The Master guitarist.
I saw Pink Floyd live in 1994 in Washington DC at an outdoor arena. They had the best sound quality I’ve ever heard at a concert. It was crystal clear, like listening to a cd.
Saw em on the European Part of that Tour in Gelsenkirchen. Same effekt. never so a technically better show after that, and i saw quite a few great Bands after that.
They had the same stage 3 times, cause it took em so long to get it going
I was there. RFK STADIUM
His `phrasing` on all of his solos is immaculate. The fact he was still out there in 2016 at 70 years old doing it to that caliber is pretty amazing.
@ghost mall There's a lot more to playing guitar than speed and technicality. Neither of which have anything to do with phrasing or finesse.
@ghost mall we can see that you can't see
its quite difficult to argue when people and musicians all over the world rate this as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time
@ghost mall nope of course everyone is entitled to their opinion....and taste....but there is also a widely accepted truth when it comes to music ...similar to, say, physics, math or art
@ghost mall lol, sounds like you took it personally, i'm just playing. SMH..lol
For their live performances, Live in Pompei when they were young in the 70s, “Echoes” is a great one.
“In pocket” - PERFECT description! He always stays in the song, yet brings out so much emotion. His playing is purposeful and brilliant. And he was 70 at this concert. Wow.
Gilmour has impeccable melody and tone always, no need for shredding!
It's his tone that puts him in top tier for me. The feel he has and that tone are just legendary.
in an ancient Roman amphitheater, a historical site where the fans are only allowed on the floor of the space, in fact, this is the first live performance with an audience there since the gladiators fought lions.
Love your name, Dr. Pendyke (from Andy Griffith show?). Yes, the amphitheater at Pompeii has held up well!
Circa 70 BC
Creepy
@@marymargaretmoore9034 That's right, Dr. Eugene Pendyke DVM, my practice is limited to small animals; dogs, cats, birds of all kinds, and small sheep.
Those Romans were some of the best, if not the best engineers of their times, maybe in history (a little biased towards them and the Greeks historically, LOL). No wonder the sound was so natural.
And he is doing that in his 70’s!!!
Amazing stuff.
PS Everyone is correct on the PULSE version.
Best solo in history, IMHO.
The Pulse version, that’s the one y’all should’ve checked out. The best live version by a mile!
Amen2that
I much prefer this one, probably because I was at this gig.
I also prefer this one since it is much more clean because of the sound of the Anfiteatro in Pompeii.
Pulse was Epic. The one and only show I wish I attended if it was ever possible. The Best Ever.
Disagree, the Pulse has the best light show, but this version has the superior solo.
this is such a great version. the whole Pompeii concert is goosebumps raising. there is a version of this song on the Pulse album, a live album as well, that is not to be missed. in your spare time, check that one out. just search "comfortably numb pulse" and you'll easily find it. i have witnessed people brought to tears during the outro solo while watching that video.
PULSE OVER THIS 100% more epic including original band members and the best guitar rock music solo in history
Opinions..... This version is SO much better than Pulse. But, to each his own.
@@danhuyck527 the fact that is more modern doesn't make it any better other than sharper image and improved sound only
Best version is Live 8 ....2008 I think...when Roger Waters rejoined for that one night in London....with Battersea power station in the distance
How can it get better? Pulse. Good version, but Pulse. Best solo ever. Followed very closely by The Eagles Hotel California.
That is all the Stratocaster possible in one solo. It's possibly perfect.
Hello Ryan and George, as one reactor to another, this is the first time our paths have crossed. I have been making videos for over four years, originally inspired by you guys and others. Thank you!
The clamour of noise from people suggesting the "Pulse" version is deafening! I'm super glad you have found another version to listen to. This is David Gilmour solo, not Pink Floyd, and he is playing in an ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. Pink Floyd originally played there in the early 70s but with no audience. So this is quite special. That's Chuck Leavell from The Allman Brothers singing the verse parts. Everyone has already said how special DG is as a guitarist, I have nothing further to add, but do if you have time listen to the "Pulse" version. The solo on there is the greatest of all time. Truth. You could get a THIRD video out of this song!!!!
Cheers, Jim
As good as this is, guys the Pulse version is the one. It is the absolute truth. That last solo is the best piece of guitar ever recorded.
It's a shame that DSoT wasn't as good with the sound. It's from 1988. I had the VHS cassette too. The Comfortably Numb solo is just as good, and just as long. But the drums were kind of messed up in the mix. They are too loud, and at points they seem to be all over the place.
I hear you! As I was watchting the video I couldnt help but think about that drum fill before the last solo. Always gets me.
Nah for me this is still the best live performance ever recorded
That and Echoes live in Gdansk 2006
Literally nothing tops this
hmmm, I went the other way - I put this ahead of the live Pulse version
Pompeii was a Roman theater and was built around 70 BC. and is part of the ruins of the city of Pompeii, destroyed by a volcano in antiquity. Pink Floyd recorded a memorable concert in 1972 there, without an audience.
Davis Gilmour is currently 76 years old, having in this concert 70 years
David Gilmore just spills his soul in his playing, he doesn't scream and do acrobatics, he talks and pours his emotions out. Thank Yew.
Gilmour is a true OG, I never felt like he gets quite enough recognition
Oh there it is, the "underrated" comment - which only shows the author's youth and/or lack of knowledge: DG is most highly recognised by music aficionados, esp. the more mature ones. Who fkn cares about what Millennial sheep think?
Pulseeee! THE best solo imho
That’s one absolutely magnificent guitar solo from David Gilmour! I’m lucky enough to have seen Floyd twice. Incredible!
Mad respect George & Ryan for going back to see David play this LIVE. THANK YOU for reading our comments. Thank Sweet Baby Jesus for video recordings so generation after generation can enjoy this music.
watching on CZcams at METAL GIRLS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
On the sound...in the 70's if you had the privilege to see Pink Floyd, you left the concert deaf. Not kidding. By far the loudest concert I've ever attended.
It’s great that you guys did a live version with Gilmour’s free form solo but ya picked a “lesser” version. Even if you don’t do a reaction, PLEASE watch the Pulse 94 concert version. It’s an experience and a must see!
I'm always curious about how the channels like this choose live videos. It makes more sense to search out a video from when a band/artist was closer to their prime. Especially when Gilmour is about 70 years old in this. Not that this video is bad, it's just definitely not a stronger performance.
@@tdu5777 Also Gilmour doesn't play the solo exactly same way everytime. He plays certain parts and partly improvises and the Pulse one is definitely also in my opinion the best one. But it's nice to see 70 year old Gilmour still going strong.
Spot on! When I saw the thumbnail and could see they reacted to Pompeii, I just thought why? Who convinced them to react to this version over the Pulse version which is the absolute pinnacle of live versions and seeing what they said about what they were told in the studio version reaction, it makes me question who they have giving them this information, clearly not an actual informed Floyd fan, it seems like the kind of Floyd fans who watched the movie The Wall and suddenly became an expert on not just The Wall but Pink Floyd themselves
@@ManWithoutThePants I'm not commenting on his solo. He hasn't lost anything in the guitar playing area. At this point (and at that point) he has with his vocals though. That's to be expected obviously. And his vocalists doing Roger Waters parts just frankly isn't very good. It's just not a great version to pick. And it's sad that for some people who watch this channel and are hearing a live version of the song for their first time, this is the first impression they will get.
@@tdu5777 Ok, but in my opinion also the solo in Pulse 1994 was a bit better although this was good too. I don't mind his singing too much. He has a bit of roughness in it by the age, but I kind of like it. But in general Pulse is the one to pick. Also the light show there is amazing. I'm not actually sure why I answered to you. I was agreeing you for sure, but I could've responded to original poster too.
So since you chose this concert please individually check out Comfortably Numb Pulse Tour
David Gilmour had a spiritual awakening during that performance.
The best live solo ever
Live at Pompeii was wrought with technical difficulties and inhibited the musical genius of David Gilmour and this performance.
Once again guys you missed out.
Yeah that Pulse performance was a lot better than this one. And this one is pretty damn good. But still you can tell they're getting a bit old here both with the singing and the guitar work.
The light show during the pulse show adds "color" and dimension to the experience in a big big way
Oh.. what?! Wow!
The version of Comfortably Numb recorded for the Pulse show isn't even the best version from that tour.
have a look on CZcams at METAL GIRLS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
Gilmour is the epitome of a guitarist who plays for the song, never showing off, always tasteful and a true legend.
This is the Roman Arena in Pompeii, it was chosen by pink floyd in 1972 by its acoustic sound and perfect place to have a concert. So it's a build that has been there over 2000 years!!!
That guitarwork leaves you everytime speachless 👌
This was played in an outdoor amphitheatre, but I saw David play in the arena in Chicago in 2016 and the sound was immaculate. Hands down, the best sounding concert I've ever been to in my life. He's got a reputation for being a perfectionist in the studio and on the stage and he lives up to it.
If you're interested in the venue at Pompeii, check out the Pink Floyd video 'Echoes" in Pompeii recorded in '71 and released in '72. It is essentially an ancient Roman amphitheater.
That solo gives me chills every time and I’m 51 and been listening to them since I was 14
I personally like the P.U.L.S.E. version guitar solo better but he still burned the house down here
I was one big goosebump throughout that whole thing then my hair follicles shot across the room during the final solo.
The concert was in an open air 2,000 year old Roman Amphitheatre in the ruins of Pompeii... the band had done a previous live film there 45 years before before Dark Side of The Moon was recorded... but just them and the recording equipment... this was something extra special... performing in an historically important amphitheatre was something else...!!
Even though this looks and sounds great and is a great version of this song the 94 Pulse concert makes this one look like it was done by kindergarteners!! For the 94 Pulse concert a guy named Marc Brickman the lighting engineer was basically given a blank check by Pink Floyd and they said see what you can do and he did!! So even if you guys just do it for yourselves you need to watch that version for an incredible guitar solo and a light show even though it was done back in 94 looks like it was done by aliens!
Pink Floyd is/was one of those rare gifts that always sound better live than studio. This video was David Gilmour and his group. Richard Wright who played keyboards has passed in, Roger Waters Bass had quit years before. Nick Mason Drummer was on his own thing. David Still plays and sings. This was 36 years after The Wall was released. I will say I love David's skill and precision for this advanced age, he was in his seventies in his recording. But honestly, as food as this was, the absolute best version, and I know you'll hear it from others, its the 1994 Pulse concert. David,Richard, and Nick were in their prime and simply at their best. Love what yall do guys. Check out Pink Floyd Pulse concert Sorrow, or Keep talking, or the song that followed Numb as they show closer, Run Like Hell!
Should have done Pulse guys - his guitar solo is literally mindblowing!
What makes this one better is how old he is
This one does more for me for some reason
Pompeii is better (IMO)
This is at The Amphitheater of Pompeii. It is one of the oldest surviving Roman amphitheaters. It was excavated a loooong time ago. Pink Floyd recorded a concert film there in 1974. David went back in 2016 to record this. It is a pretty sweet amphitheater!
The first time they were there was the 1971 recording released in 1972, not 1974
This song is the peak of musicianship. There is no words for feel that is in this masterpiece. I was in Pompeii last year, and visited this arena. If you know history of this place and in combination with this music, it is glorious. Cant imagine how spectacular it had to be to witness this performance live. I would say one of greatest performances ever. Say what you want, Gilmour is true master. Just my 5 cents :D
This is the song to play when the world meets its end, the outro solo was so good
Hilarious they chose this version. Only member of Pink Floyd in this is David, or do I err? Pulse is far better, or do I err? I mean I love David but here he pulls back from the solo and transforms it into something easier to play - it's just not the same. Or do I err?
If you saw where this show is actually being played you wouldn't believe it. Its at an ancient outdoor amphitheater in the ruins of Pompeii, Italy and the significance here is that no one really plays here except Pink Floyd! This was Dave returning back to a spot where they had one of their most iconic performances playing this 'venue' back in 1972, in the middle of the day, with no audience at all (except for the ghosts of the tragedy it would seem) and its some of their most brilliance work, most notably the epic song "Echoes" One of my favorite compositions of music across all spectrums. Pink Floyd have always been about the making the best quality sound possible but how they did it in this place is must have taken an incredible team. Watch the 1972 video to really get why it was special when Dave returned there for this show!!
Oh my Lord I cried when I first heard this song David pulls at yr heartstrings Just touches the soul. An experience like opening Christmas present
Yes the 94 pulse is the best version ever recorded I think. Mind blowing even.
David Gilmore is one of the masters…don’t be surprised that older players can play great. They have a lifetime of musicianship
Yes sir! When you've practiced and performed your Craft for the duration Mr Gilmour has, you can bet he could do it in his sleep....blindfolded. 👍🏻
Most guitarists will tell you David Gilmour is one of their favorite guitarists. It doesn't even matter what genre music they play. Rock, country, metal, punk, it really doesn't matter. We all recognize how amazing his playing is.
Love this guys! Seen em live, Ames iowa, trippen balls! Happy u guys did this! They have probly100 great songs! Thx!
This Live version is absolutely incredible, yet the Live version that is out of this world is from Pulse '94. That's where it was considered the best guitarsolo ever made.
when it comes to the acoustics of the arena this was recorded: they don't build them like this no more. It was recorded in the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, built some 2092 years ago.
Ah really?! That's pretty small then, it looked like it was a larger concert.
@@Snoop_Dugg Yale Bowl, Michigan Stadium, and the Rose Bowl were modeled after the Amphitheater of Pompeii.
@@coloradopeoplesnews7676 That's cool to learn. I'd want to visit one of those stadiums one day.
@@Snoop_Dugg Watched games in the Rose Bowl and Michigan Stadium. Scrimmaged in the latter when I was in HS, but went to rival MSU.
@@coloradopeoplesnews7676
Cool. I saw the “The Division Bell” 1994 tour at the Rose Bowl.
I was fortunate to attend the second night of these two concerts. Greatest night I've ever experienced!
So back in the 70's Pink Floyd famously played in the ancient city of Pompeii, (the one that got destroyed by a volcano) in it's old ampitheatre & so Gilmour decided to go ahead & re-do the concert some decades later without the original band ( I know). Ampitheatres are designed to amplify naturally occurring acoustic sounds so imagine what happens when you bring electric music to them :)
I have to admit i have watched alot of ur reactions, and the result of that it have made me accept more genres.
I can enjoy so much more music and sounds, and give something i usually wouldn’t listen to a chance
Thanks for lowkey introducing music
"Time" is the perfect Pink Floyd song. "Comfortably Numb" has the godliest solo ever though.
The solo in Time is pretty godly too 😃
@@facelessandnameless 100% true. It's just that Comfortably Numb, to me, is the greatest guitar solo ever. But Time is my favorite song ever.
"Time" is one of my least favorite songs on DSOTM (but still obviously amazing).
I've listened to this song thousands of times over 40+ years and it's still in constant rotation. Gilmour is among my favorite guitarists of all time. Never tire of it. Thanks for the review!!
The guitar solo is so beautiful and anguished, there is something so emotional about seeing David play it in older age - it almost takes on a new meaning. Absolutely brilliant.
David knows how to stretch out the ending guitar solo, and yet still leave you wishing it had continued longer. Pretty amazing. This concert was in the actual amphitheatre as built in Pompeii so long ago: _"The Amphitheatre of Pompeii is one of the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatres. It is located in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, and was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. [...] Built around 70 BC, the amphitheatre is one of the earliest Roman amphitheatres built of stone"._
A little more history: _"Over a 4-day period in October 1971, Pink Floyd made a concert film at the amphitheatre, titled _*_Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii._*_ David Gilmour, the band's guitarist, returned to perform two concerts at the amphitheatre in July 2016 as part of his Rattle That Lock Tour."_ If you check out the earlier PF movie, it's just Pink Floyd recording at the amphitheatre, there is no concert. But that'll give you images of what the amphitheatre looks like.
I actually prefer the early one.
@@marymargaretmoore9034 - "The early one" of which? The earlier guitar solo? Well, if it's any consolation, Rick Beato also thinks the earlier guitar solo is the better one... 🙂
Or do you mean the earlier concert at Pompeii?
@@garanceadrosehn9691 I haven't considered the first one really as a solo, but more of a melodic interlude, but I suppose it's a solo now that I think of it. It just has felt so short to me, but when I think about it now it's not that short albeit not a long one either. It's just that time flies when he plays it :). Also that one he plays pretty much like on the record always unlike the outro solo where he takes a bit more freedom and improvises more, but still holding the atmosphere and keeps certain parts of the solo close to original or the versions he has played live earlier in the career many times.
@@garanceadrosehn9691 I mean the early concert @ Pompeii from '71/'72
@@marymargaretmoore9034 - Excellent concert!
Check out our review of the album version of Comfortably Numb here: czcams.com/video/3JMOwcTPJRc/video.html
The Pulse concert in Earls Court, London England is beyond phenomenal..even if you don't do a review of it...its a musical and visual experience that's unreal 😊
I saw Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall in 2006. When you are there, you never want that solo to end.
It's amazing a guy in his 70s can still pull off those pitch perfect bends.
It's in an ancient Romen amphitheater that was buried in volcanic ash along with the city of Pompeii a few thousand years ago. Making playing here very special. And noted that the crowd isn't in the stands, they can only sit a few hundred people in the middle of the theater.
I wasn't gonna say anything, because so many people already have... but at the end when you say "thanks to everbody who got on our ass," I decided to add one more. You have to go at it a third time. Pink Floyd Live at Pulse version is the one everybody was talking about. For good reason. Great as this one is, it's not The One.
Shredding is not Gilmour's style. The emotion he draws from his playing is his thing.
And his vocals are great too.
Now that you played Comfortably Numb studio and live...
It's time for Rush Working Man live in Cleveland!
Please!
Awesome!!! My late father bought this Pulse dvd and album and i did as well...I currently have 2 sets now and I wouldn't trade them for anything...Pink Floyd and David Gilmore are the GOATS!!!
Mr. Gilmour is the master of "variation on a theme, with feeling". I have heard Comfortably Numb so many, many times and I still get a chill up my spine on the "solo outro" (that might be Latin😁). Peace to all...
My favorite live version sentimentally anyway is Live 8. As it’s the final time the original members played it. And Gilmour as usual kicks ass❤️
David Gilmore is not a shredder, but the emotion flows from the strings like a river. While some guitarist may be called better than him he is my all time favorite.
His timing, intonation and emotion are just not paralleled in guitar playing.
The calmest/chill, I’ve ever been and always will be, is listening to this solo. It’s so much different (& longer) than other versions. Look at all those ppl, staring at them-singing their own song back with them…& not a soul speaks or looks elsewhere but at this extraordinary moment where David Gilmore wails his solo…the longer but epic version. That had to be the best 7-9 minutes of the audience’s lives! And everyone around that city, within the stadium’s view, could hear it. Magical sensory overload in my opinion 🥰🎶🎸
This is truly one of the greatest guitar solo ever, it is amazing
How is this NOT the Pulse version??! 🤦
Criminal.
The pulse version is by far the greatest version of the song
every time David plays this live he changes it up a bit and I love it. each one has it's own uniqueness to it and still hits all the signature licks.
Guys, you just cannot put into words what it’s like to experience Pink Floyd Live. All of those people singing, perfect sounding music… it’s absolutely unbelievable!
I love Pink Floyd and I never heard this performance. Thanks guys. Apparently, now I have to go listen to one called the Pulse version.
Pulse version blows my noggin off
It's, by far, the most epic guitar solo in music history. Period. 🥹
Check out (David Gilmour - In any tongue/ Live in Pompeii) It's just as good if not better. Don't hate me for saying it.🤘
This one and Mark Knopfler's "Sultans of Swing" Alchemy live performance are both great!
I love how watching yalls videos makes me kind of hear through your ears and listen to the song almost for the first time again. Sometimes I see a completely new perspective of a song I’ve been loving since childhood. It’s so cool.
I saw David Gilmour on this tour in Chicago, it was an absolutely amazing show. They sounded amazing and the setlist was great. David Gilmour seems to be somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to putting on a live show and it shows!!
Live music from people that are truly live artists is the way to go…thanks for doing this, I know you don’t do live stuff too often
The best version of this song was played at Live8 in 2005, in my opinion...with the original members of Pink Floyd.
I love watchin dudes experiencing a floyd solo, no one can help but smile at the wondrous pink floyd
Absolutely amazing! Thank u for the live version 🤘🙏🙏🙏🤠
If you haven’t done ‘Another Brick In The Wall’, the official video, you’ve gotta react to that! You’ve probably heard one part of it! 👍
The pulse solo is jus biblical..He really goes into the zone
pompeii as a location is SO important in the history of pink floyd. they had a legendary 1972 filmed live performance to the empty amphitheater. it is ABSOLUTELY necessary canon for floyd fans. you guys should check it out. the performance of "Echoes" is particularly outstanding, imo.
Great reaction and analysis of this video. You got it. Great job.
Guys, do pulse concert in 1994, 1000x better
That wasn't Pink Floyd, Its David as a solo artist you need to go back to 1994 last Pink Floyd the Pulse tour best solo i ever heard!!
Gilmour is one of the best guitarists! He plays like no other. You can feel and hear it. I close my eyes and my soul feels every string.
I'll join the chorus here; while this version is pretty awesome in it own right, the '94 Pulse concert version is transcendent!
I love Pink Floyd. It's was my very first concert in 1994, at the Detroit silverdome. It was the pulse concert. You should do "one of these days" or the entire double book album "delicate sound of thunder"
Silverdome? U sure it wasn't Joe Lewis arena? Thought that was done with?
@nvorg1 - Which night did you go? I saw them on the 15th at the Silverdome, the second night when they premiered Dark Side in full on that tour. I was 14 when my dad surprised me with tickets. My dad, mom, my dad's buddy and I went. We couldn't hear for 3 days after but it was 1000% worth it. A night I will never forget.
@@ianfortier6796 I went the second night as well. I was 15 and I bought the tickets for my father and I with my birthday money. It's one of my favorite memories as a kid. My uncle was there with some of his buddies and they had a hotel room and it was just as smoky there (with pot smoke) as it was in the dome that night. We were on the second level directly straight back from the stage. "One of these days" when the plane crashed in the speaker stands and the giant pig heads popped out was my favorite moment that I clearly remember.
@@estuder32anthonywayne98 no it was the silverdome. It was the one and only time I got to go to the dome.
@@nvorg1 That's awesome you did that, man! Your dad must have been so proud! That plane and the pigs in the towers were jaw dropping. Couple that with giant mirror ball that opened up during Comfortably Numb and the 30 minutes of surround sound before they came out, it blew my mind. Have you seen or heard any of the audience bootlegs from that night? I listen to it every year to relive the show.
I love that you did this Live one so fast, It really is an amazing performance.
You have not lived until you've seen the movie, "The Wall". The animation, the music, the "biography" of Pinky Floyd, makes it the greatest movie ever. Makes the songs come to life even more.
As some people pointed out, Pulse version is the most legendary guitar performance ever done. Sadly you picked the wrong version, even if this performance was good.
Was gonna say. Should have been the pulse version. Soooo good.
Ryan - George. Even if you don't make a video - do yourself a favour and wach the pulse one on fullscreen and just let is wash over you.
Yes, they probably got confused with requests because people were probably requesting the original Live in Pompei in the 70s also.
My thoughts exacty! This performance is good but the Pulse version, thats some out of body, out of this world kind of stuff..!
I like the Gdansk version.
An absolute fail that they haven't done Pulse, and probably won't now. What a loss.
I Completely agree with you guys regarding videos and live performances take away from the music because you're focused on what you're seeing. But Pink Floyd live is amazing. The Pulse concert to this song is amazing too. I actually like The Pulse live concert better but hey David Gilmore is great regardless.
You now got to do Pulse Comfortably numb ! 🤣 It is the best most think and is something that everybody should see 👍
He may not be the fastest player, or as technical as some, but the flow and vibe in every song he plays are simply unmatched by anyone, ever. The emotion, that perfect tone, that perfect sound he is able to find for every single note he plays (even live) just flat cannot be copied or captured to the core by any other human being. To me, David Gilmour is one of, or maybe even the, greatest solo guitarist(s) of all time. He is just a virtuoso in the most phenomenal sense of the word.
By the way, did I say that this guy is good?
Incredible song, great reaction guys.
Consider the song "Echoes" recorded ay Pompeii by Pink Floyd. Mind altering and ethereal.
