      This recording is still not their best performance of this song. There was a concert vid in the late 80's that was other-worldly. The back-up singers were dancing in hypnotic unison during the long solo at the end.

      This was the opening night of 5 shows they played at Earls Court in London, I was lucky enough to be there the following night. I was 19 and it was mind blowing. The effect in the room when the giant disco ball dropped really isn't done justice in the video.🤯

      @keithwilliams88 Před 4 měsíci

      The album version just fades out a few minutes earlier and then I have musical blue balls 😂
      I’d have to switch to the Pulse version to actually finish the song. Since listening to music on Spotify, I’ve taken to using a playlist for The Wall so I can just insert the live version.
      I know the extended solo was added later, but it’s so powerful it just transforms the song.

    • @raoulduke344

      ​@@keithwilliams88TBH, I quite like playing the album version for that very reason - because then I can improv a bit to finish it off my own way, but it does get frustrating just fading out like that.
      Gilmour changes a lot of stuff live. I'm sure the PULSE and "Live in Gdansk" CN solos are different to each other.
      The extended solo he does on The Wall tour for Mother is definitely one to check out as well.

There were so many great bands & artists all competing with one another for top spots. I do not feel they have the same level of creativity today. The sad thing is, we are seeing these great people passing & I look back at the long passage of time & wonder how it went in a blink.

Stevie Ray was a savant for the guitar and his life ended early. I have met his bother Jimmy many times he keeps Stevie alive with what he does yet he says he cannot do what his brother did on the guitar.

    I saw them twice.

I have seen some of the best live music the 60s/70s and 80's have to offer. Floyd is not a concert, its a spiritual event where they channel the universe into their instruments and directly into your ears. This is artestry.

    I saw Floyd play at Rice Stadium (outdoor stadium) in Houston, TX, on April 5th of 1994. That was the most AWESOME concert I have ever seen, before or since. After the concert got started good, a huge thunderstorm rolled in. The skies opened up, and the rain came pouring down. Thunder was rolling. Lightening flashed almost in time with the laser lights. It made them look like beams of dots instead of solid beams. None of us (and I mean no one), cared that we were getting soaked. They played until Gilmore's last guitar shorted out, even though they were under a cover that was part of the stage decoration, since the rain was sheeting sideways underneath it. It was raining so hard that a slight dip started forming in the canvas far overhead of the stage. It happened to form just over the backup singers, who were in their purple evening gowns, standing on risers. The dip got so big, and started drooping lower and lower, which caused even more water to collect in it. Finally, it was so huge with the volume and weight, that the material finally split and countless gallons of water came down in one big gush. You could actually see this big, almost ball-shape of water crashing down on the backup singers, just as they were giving it their all. I was surprised that none of them were injured, or at least they acted like they weren't. The show went on, as I said, until David Gilmore's last guitar shorted out.
    Btw, they didn't want to play in the Astrodome, because no smoking was allowed in there. Heh, heh.
    At the beginning, before the rain got too heavy and the sky too dark, there were clouds of smoke all over everyone in the stands. It was such an incredible, unforgettable evening and night.

    You should definitely check out Echoes part 1 and 2, the live at Pompeii version from '72. I consider it to be one of the greatest songs ever written.
    Unfortunately Rick Wright the keyboard player who also plays on this Pulse concert has died. Seeing as Echoes was a duet of sorts between Wright and Gilmoure, Gilmoure decided to not perform Echoes live again. 💔

    Let me just tell you that watching in person that the light ball opening up into a bright flower in the center of the arena during the final solo was the MOST MINDBLOWING thing I've ever seen in person. When it finally cracks open the light is so bright that it's blinding and raptures you into another plane. When I die I want that solo taking me into the next world. Not kidding. Seriously. Saw this live in 1994.

When the lights hit the ball, I felt like I had entered another world. Along with the guitar solo and overall vibe, this had to be one of the most incredible concert moments I’ve ever had.

    Hi! Pink Floyd .. wow! I’ve loved them all my life!
    The next song I would love for you to listen to is “Shine On You Crazy Diamond “!! Excellent!
    The band is singing about Syd Barrett, who actually started the band in the early 1960’s. He was known to experiment with drugs and ended up having a “bad trip . This caused him to have a mental breakdown and leave the band. The song is full of sadness and loss! Watch the music video while you listen and you’ll understand. You can feel their grief and longing ! I cry every time I hear it!
    Syd passed away in 2006. The band made sure Syd was taken care of and gave him royalties from his early years.
    I would love to hear your reaction and thoughts. I love this band! They lost Rick Mason to cancer recently too. He was the keyboard player! Fantastic ! They are all older now but still making music.
    I enjoy all your reactions and commentary!
    Wishing you blessings!💕💕

    this is what good music sounds like. The way you feel right now - that's what music is supposed to do.
    I saw them on this tour in 94 in Oakland, CA. No one sat down for 2.5 hour show. There was a couple shots in the video from the back you can see all the peeps all standing up huge rows enjoying the hell out it. No cameras, before cell phones, no one was a prisoner of the moment - fully fixed and focused on the feels Pink Floyd was delivering.
    The entire Dark Side of the Moon (which came out 10 years before this album) feels this way. Some of my best feelings came from just relaxing with a pair of headphones vibing to that album.
    There aren't many albums I can listen to over and over start to finish. Most just have a few choice songs here and there - but DSotM is pure gold start to finish.

    As I'm sure everyone here will attest, you can ~literally~ pick any song from the Pulse Concert, and it will be phenomenal. The entire concert is a masterpiece. If you're looking to listen to Pulse versions of their hits, try Brain Damage/Eclipse, Time, Wish You Were Here, or Run Like Hell (typically the concert's finale, although not always). If you want great Pulse versions of songs you may not have heard before, try High Hopes (breaks your heart) or Sorrow. But this one, Comfortably Numb, is the one that brought the house down. What a night...
    Oh, you mentioned how comfortable David Gilmour (guitarist) was, in a tee and jeans. Take notice of how the band members are lit on stage. Pink Floyd has always been about the music, not the players. So they are often lit from above, or the side, but less commonly from the front. Because they've never felt like they were, or should be, the center of attention.
