I think this version of High Hopes is the best I've heard so far, the way he changes the song just a little bit makes the whole solo much more valuable!
That acoustic at the emd is something out of this world so beautiful. PF always makes me feel emotions that nakes me cry... its more than music, just a deeper level of spirituality
For me 14 and now 71. This version is the best. At my "ceremony " after my cremation, as part of the celebration of my life, I am going to have played on several large screen TVs, three David Gilmour songs from this concert in this order: The Blue, Comfortably Numb and High Hopes. While I have too many PF favorites, these three are my favorites in video format. Live in Gdansk is simply phenomenal! I have been blessed to have seen them many times over my lifetime. What incredible talents they ALL have!!! Bless all....
Every chord Gilmour plays, and every note he sings is just freaking amazing. He does everything perfectly. No other musician can tap into my emotions like David Gilmour’s guitar and his voice. He always has my emotions all over the place when I listen to him, from way back in Pink Floyd early days, all the way to Gilmour’s solo career. Theeeee best!
It’s with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words😊❤️. I don’t usually do this often as I’m not always on social media but your kind words attract me. It been an honor entertaining you. Where are you from?
When an artist makes a person who is listening to him crying, well... I think that this is the only way in which a soul can be touched from its bottom. Thank you Mr. Gilmour, my soul and my heart will always belong to you and to your music.
Wait, you participated in the concert? That's absolutely an amazing story to forever tell. Id love to know what instrument you were involved with at the time?
Amazing. What a musician Dave Gilmour is. Richard Wright giving it the legs it needs too without overshadowing the guitar playing and Orchestra. What Richard Wright was the best at - Giving the song some vigour without interrupting. Never stole the limelight but was more pivotal in these songs than anyone could imagine. RIP RW.
What David Gilmour does with space in this song is what makes him so amazing. I just can't describe it. I'll take this over a guy who can shred any day. So tasteful.
I just have to comment once more! This gets more and moeamazing everytime I watch this. I always take beautiful music very emotionally, but this is just stuninng. The ending is a masterpiece in every note he plays. I can't help but smile in delight when he play his final notes :D :)
the amazing fact is that David originally composed and played the song in 1994(Division Bell) when he was 48. Now after 15 years (he is 62)is playing this song live even better and more emotional. Only the very recent versions he's been performing since 2005, have that acoustic solo. In previous performances he only did the Slider solo. He has always been in "Top 50 Guitarist of All Time" list. my most favourite guitarist after SLASH
This song is a fucking masterpiece. It seriously gives me goosebumps. The most amazing thing is how his music is still living on the way it is today. I'm in love with this song. Amazing.
well......, wine and dave .., both get, more and more, precious with time, the more older ,the more fond we are ,some things have no age limit ,Dave ,u rocked in pompei ,and ,u sound even better in gdansk,keep on rocking us
It’s with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words😊❤️. I don’t usually do this often as I’m not always on social media but your kind words attract me. It been an honor entertaining you. Where are you from?
close your eyes..... and just listen to the music. That guitar plays just the right notes in the right moment, with an amazing feeling. Wonderful David Gilmour.
There is music and then there is Pink Cloyd... there are great guitarists, and then there is David Gilnour! Wow... that outro has me. Crying like a baby og its absolute beauty
Lyrics Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever
It’s with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words😊❤️. I don’t usually do this often as I’m not always on social media but your kind words attract me. It been an honor entertaining you. Where are you from?
Pink Floyd (David Gilmour especially) is like wine, they only get better with age! every live rendition being better than the last with more and more emotion!
I don't think David ever played it like that again, with that final piece of guitar. In my opinion this version is the best of all. Thank you Pink Floyd, thank you Mr Gilmour..., may God bless you forever
what an incredible display of guitar marksmanship by David G. Also Rick's keyboard,Roger's bass and as importantly Nick's drums. A PLEASURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have two things to add... Rush does not have the same emotional pull with me that Pink Floyd does. I actually tear up at the end of this song by the powerful beauty of it all. johnex3303, I know I'm 3 months late, but I'm 21 years old and am such a fan of this song. Incredible. I will not be lumped into that category!
When David shuffles off this mortal coil (and I hope that's a long time away), he will be remembered as one of the greatest guitarists in the world during the 20th and 21st centuries. Unbelievable performance! Two thumbs up!
A great emotion!! in the last part I close my eyes and I cry. an artist that creates this art he is in the history. This song will cross the time and when the children of our children will listen to him, they will still cry. When I listen to these notes I don't want anything anymore. I live a dream !
when it comes down to it, Gilmour, 65 still can sing, still can play, is a humble amazing performer/musician, and like a fine wine is pure taste and style, waters is an amazing conceptualizer, who didnt give into the music industry and followed his artistic vision, no matter what. we can learn and admire both of them for doing what both are good at. and personally, I am thankful and inspired by both. High hopes is the full stop at the end of the pink floyd story.
Have not been a PF fan..never really was. I just heard this song for the 1st time ever the other night when I watched the Gdansk concert TV show. I LOVE THIS SONG!! This vid is on my faves at home and at work and I bought the song on iTunes. Cannot get enough of it. This guy is too much. (the band ain't too shabby either)
I get the same goose bumps every time i hear High Hopes. I feel just as Gragon 147, it pisses me of at an extend i just don't can put in words. But let's hope there is a great gig in the sky!
La mia canzone preferita in assoluto. Penso che se dovessi sentire qualcuno che la suona dal vivo (specie se fosse David Gilmour) potrei morire felice subito dopo. Piango ogni volta che la sento. Ho il dvd di questo live. La cosa fantastica è che David è riuscito a migliorare quello che già era un capolavoro con l'assolo di chitarra acustico finale che è qualcosa di assolutamente spettacolare.
Totalmente de acuerdo, personalmente esta canción me cambio la vida, ese solo me saca lagrimas cada vez que lo escucho, tengo tatuado el nombre de esta canción en el brazo y me lo tatuaría en la cara🤠
It’s with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words😊❤️. I don’t usually do this often as I’m not always on social media but your kind words attract me. It been an honor entertaining you. Where are you from?

@@doubelska I'm glad to know that you're one of my biggest fan. I appreciate you for all the love and support it's really what keeps me going! I'd be more happy if I could brighten your day doubelska
Wow. And that slide during the second half. This is one of prog's best, along with close to the edge and the live version of ashes are burning, tarkus, and a few other brilliant odds and ends.
This is one of my top ten favorite songs all time , probably my favorite from Pink Floyd , it makes me cry and it also makes me happy , is weird , but is the best
It's true though, he's a genius and has helped to make so many lives that little bit more bearable. With that, let us bow our heads in prayer to the wonderful Keith Richards.
Perepe88 said it - no words...I too love this song - for reasons not clear to me even. it make me feel something sad and beautiful..but the guitar ending is a piece of magic. A so very fitting last of the Pink Floyds
e sconvolgente il fatto che qui a roma non se ne parli mai della loro musica hanno lasciato un segno indelebile cambiando ogni possibile memoria a suon di note per sempre i precursori di questo genere musicale sviscerato dall anima geniale di queste persone paolo 58 rm
As the music hits my ears and evokes the odd few tears, I feel the notes in my heart and near tear it apart, Thoghts of Floyd being reunited, in memory of Sid and Rick so sad departed, Come on guys get it together, "High Hopes" indeed, you rock forever.
I think this version of High Hopes is the best I've heard so far, the way he changes the song just a little bit makes the whole solo much more valuable!
Agree
🔥
Yes. The acoustic at the end is beyond anything
That acoustic at the emd is something out of this world so beautiful. PF always makes me feel emotions that nakes me cry... its more than music, just a deeper level of spirituality
Yes
My favorite song that I have ever heard David Gilmour play ❤ i cry evertime I listen ❤ this is true perfection.
This is so beautiful. Start listening to Pink Floyd at 12 and now I’m 60 and they still give me chills every single time.
For me 15 and now 64
For me 14 and now 71. This version is the best. At my "ceremony " after my cremation, as part of the celebration of my life, I am going to have played on several large screen TVs, three David Gilmour songs from this concert in this order: The Blue, Comfortably Numb and High Hopes.

What incredible talents they ALL have!!! Bless all....
The energy with this version and the accompanying orchestra makes this better than the studio version. It takes the composition to the heavens above.
Every version they do of this song pushes it’s value into eternity. I suspect as long as people listen to music people will love this song.
My soul came out of my body listening to that solo
Pure magic, I never tire of listening to this, so beautiful.
Every chord Gilmour plays, and every note he sings is just freaking amazing. He does everything perfectly. No other musician can tap into my emotions like David Gilmour’s guitar and his voice. He always has my emotions all over the place when I listen to him, from way back in Pink Floyd early days, all the way to Gilmour’s solo career. Theeeee best!

Totally agreed with you brother
This is the best guitar solo of all time in the entire universe 🙏🏼🌌
I would say Hotel California Eagles
Still say Comfortably Numb is his best, but this is a close second.
The slides he does in this solo is really good. Especially that last one at the end
Easily the most monumental song ever. The endind of this performance causes tears everytime.
This version is the best.The outro feels like the path to your deepest need.
OMG I was on this concert... I can remember I cried like a baby twice: on 'High hopes' and 'Comfortably numb'.... David, it was a masterpiece.
Saw a Pink Floyd cover band with my friends Brit Floyd to be exact and cried as soon as they started the slide guitar solo imo his best solo
Wait, you participated in the concert? That's absolutely an amazing story to forever tell. Id love to know what instrument you were involved with at the time?
That classic guitar always moves me. I return to this video after certain time to remember how glorious this song is.
One of the greatest songs of all time. And also one of the most underrated.
Amazing. What a musician Dave Gilmour is. Richard Wright giving it the legs it needs too without overshadowing the guitar playing and Orchestra.

This is probably my favourite solo ever. Such emotion. As someone else said below, the right notes at the right moment. Thank you for this.
Da quando si sono divisi questo brano e degno del passato grande ❤❤❤
This song is a fucking masterpiece. It seriously gives me goosebumps. The most amazing thing is how his music is still living on the way it is today. I'm in love with this song. Amazing.
This is not a song. It’s a movie
Amavo la vostra musica 50 anni fa e da allora non è cambiato niente anzi l amo di più.

Lyrics
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever
I'm sure this song is played every day in paradise. I'm crying...
It’s with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words😊❤️. I don’t usually do this often as I’m not always on social media but your kind words attract me. It been an honor entertaining you. Where are you from?

grande artista non ho parole per descriverlo la pelle d'oca solo questo semplicemente stupendo grande gilmour
This is a literal reckoning of the soul expression
That solo at the end is just incredible.
Hello to You all, from the TOP of NORWAY. Superb Mr. Gilmore.
i think you could listen to this song 1000 times and on the 1001th time you would still say "HOW?"
the sound in the end makes always me cry...the most touchy song ever..
Mio Dio che emozione....Ho la pelle d'oca....
what an incredible display of guitar marksmanship by David G. Also Rick's keyboard,Roger's bass and as importantly
Nick's drums. A PLEASURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gilmour is the best guitar solo player there is. No need for tapping or sweep picking which is just noise to me. Just beautiful melody and feeling.
It makes me happy to see people appropriately giving praise to David G. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that shuns teen angst music...
GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME, BAR NONE!!!!!!!
how has this only got 36K views?
this is pure musical genius live on stage. simply stunning
guitar mastery
Stunning performance from david gilmour, it's simply fantastic ... no words needed really. Pink Floyd forever.
Oh my, just... wow. If only it could be an endless river...
This just gives me goosebumps. Especially seeing Rick, and from the begining of the lap steel solo thru to the end. Pure magic.
RIP, Rick.
I have two things to add...
Rush does not have the same emotional pull with me that Pink Floyd does. I actually tear up at the end of this song by the powerful beauty of it all.
johnex3303, I know I'm 3 months late, but I'm 21 years old and am such a fan of this song. Incredible. I will not be lumped into that category!
DON'T EVER FUCKING MENTION "RUSH" IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS "PINK FLOYD" FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIVE..!
there are no words to explain what feeling i have after seen that video.
i like the live versions of this song because it has the acoustic solo in the end, which always sends chills up my spine.
RIP Rick Wright
they are betyrt now then they were 28 yrs ago and I saw them 3 times.....I haven't forgotten
When David shuffles off this mortal coil (and I hope that's a long time away), he will be remembered as one of the greatest guitarists in the world during the 20th and 21st centuries.
Unbelievable performance! Two thumbs up!
Ridiculously good, love that final acoustic solo.
wooooow...i love this song..its..LIFE...LIFE....thank u David Gilmour
dal minuto 5:12 si vola in un altro universo....senza parole....solo brividi!!!
Eu te amo David ♥️
Possibly even the best in the last 55 years.
My amazing Gilmourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!
Forever !!!
Never gets old! The best performance for sure!
Com orquestra e coral, fica um espetáculo
A great emotion!! in the last part I close my eyes and I cry. an artist that creates this art he is in the history. This song will cross the time and when the children of our children will listen to him, they will still cry. When I listen to these notes I don't want anything anymore. I live a dream !

The folks in the orchestra must have been euphoric to play with Mr. Gilmour, I know I would have.
The ending of this never fails to bring me to tears.
I get the same goose bumps every time i hear High Hopes. I feel just as Gragon 147, it pisses me of at an extend i just don't can put in words. But let's hope there is a great gig in the sky!

Excellent performance as ever by David Gilmour. This is one of the best live albums that I own, and I would even put it on a par with Pulse.
David Gilmour ❤❤❤
