This one is for Pommie! Pommie was the first one to guess the Neil Peart drum solo video I did about a month ago based on a few generic clues, so as promised… this was one of the suggestions of a video they’d like to see in the future.
As I mentioned on my community page, this one was a bit tough. While I love the guitar solo and the light show in this performance, I prefer the album version of the song. It’s still an amazing version, don’t get me wrong.
Since it was a live performance, I can’t quite say I technically heard anything new that I hadn’t heard before, but the reactors were absolutely correct in that the ending guitar solo was very emotional. In fact, it didn’t affect me throughout the editing process, but when I watched the final video in its entirety before uploading, I got a little misty. Lol
I HIGHLY recommend:
Submotion Orchestra - Finest Hour (Album Version): czcams.com/video/qPllDPnDsX8/video.html
Thank you for doing this, WonderMommaOG! I can only imagine how difficult the editing process must be. This is my favorite song of all time, from my favorite band of all time and my favorite guitar solo of all time. (The only thing missing from this particular performance was Roger Waters, a huge part of what made this tune the best piece of music that ever was). Thank you, you're the best, WonderMomma!
@@pommie5093 💜
great job as usual, WM. great choice Pommie!!
I also am a big Floyd fan and actually just went to see Nick Mason and the Saucerful of Secrets in Boston thursday, in a small sold out theater of 1,600.
I prefer the album version also but this is still a fantastic version
I’ve heard this a hundred time and know every word, but I’ve never seen it. Thank you! It’s awesome. It is so great it doesn’t feel real. Comfortably numb indeed.
and on the 7th day God created David Gilmour..... amen
So let it be written so let it be done
Sacrilegious, but true.
Still haven't heard a guitar solo in the past 40+ yrs that slaps me like this one. No shredding, just screaming emotion in every note played.
I've NEVER heard a guitar solo ever that slaps me like this one.
Free Bird?
There definitely hasn’t been a solo that invokes a visceral and emotional response like this one.
Try pink floyd on the turning away. It has a great solo
Gary Moore empty rooms live in Stockholm is epic
I’m 70 years old, and have listened to Pink Floyd, my whole life. And I cry through this whole song, it just touches me
This.
You and me brother am 67 and I know how you’re felling. ✌️
54 years old. Same.
I don’t cry but it is amazing.
What r some of these people listening to, their head movements make no sense
A whole new generation of Pink Floyd fans .. welcome ❤️
Gilmour doesn’t plug his guitar into an amp, he plugs it into your soul!
amen!
Into his rather.
This song still gives me goosebumps 43 years after the first time I heard it.
Me too.
25 years for me and I'm looking forward to get goosebumps as well once its 43 years lol
SAME HERE.
Everytime! One of the greats.
Me too!
The young man who said that we’ve gone backwards is spot on, the gods& genius of bands that walked the earth in the 70’/80’s were the best
No auto tune just raw talent
You won’t hear this in todays music been one of my all time favorites I remember Floyd when the started
Correction, late 60s and 70s were the best. 80s started the fake stuff, not PF but the rest of the garbage they called music!
@@jamesbrackett575awesome
It is called "DEVO", de-evolution.
You don’t go to a Pink Floyd concert to listen, you go to experience it.
Agreed
Agree
Yup. Did it twice. Seeing a video and actually being there live are two totally different things. I remember the first time I saw David play this live and I thought, "Is he ever going to let me go?"
Brings a smile to my face seeing younger folks experiencing pink floyd , not just a band but a experience
Ain't it the truth! Wonderful.
The guitar solo for Comfortably Numb was voted as the number one solo of all time in Rolling Stones magazine. I was at this same show in Madison Wisconsin. The crowd went crazy just like in the video. It was the best show I have ever been to.
I'm not crapping on the solo (though I prefer the one in Time over this one) but Rolling Stone is also the same magazine that didn't even bother to rank Prince in their top 100 guitarists of all time. Jann Wenner is a pompous wanker and I really wouldn't use any list he dabbled in as testimony for anything.
I know it by heart on my air guitar😂
I saw this show in Oakland Stadium, California
I swear, at the explosive final note, the stage emitted a huge smoke ring … which was SUCKED BACK IN just before the lights went out
I don’t know how to explain it
@@marklunn41 Sounds like "high times" to me..
@@marklunn41I wet to this show. It definitely was the best concert I have ever attended!
It is a beautiful thing to see how emotionally moved people were hearing this concert.
This is what the world needs now.
I SAW THIS LIVE! WE LEFT THE CONCERT SPEECHLESS! I was literally COMFORTABLY NUMB, we all were, no words for 30 mins after....it was dreamlike...
Saw them in 1988 in Orlando and in Tampa, Fl 1994……sooooo good!!!!!
I am so jealous!
Oh what I would’ve done to see them live
I’m pretty jealous. It’s been 32 years since the first time I heard this song. Watching people hear and react to this piece of amazing art for the first time makes me so happy.
Welcome to outer space. Whether you wanted to go or not, David Gilmour’s solos will send you to there.
Well said! 👍😎
I'm 67 yrs old and got to experience all of the wonderful and incredible music through the 60's , 70's, and 80's from ALL genres of music. This younger generation has missed out on some of the best music in 100 years.
No they havent, and that's the beauty of it.
They can hear from Monteverdi to, I dont know, any new artista.. Post Malone.
They can hear renditions and renditions of Paganini more than any other person 20 years ago and before, and listen to some pop music live.
They can hear the creation of blues, rock, jazz, and basically any genre that you may think, and even those that you dont know.
Anyone who's interested enough can and will learn much more than one who did 50 years ago.
Hah! You kids today, I swear! I’m 75 and I have only recently come to realize that the rock music I grew up with is actually great and a fair amount has stood the test of time; I did not expect that, believing it to be transient and unserious. There is actually some great music and musicianship mixed in there.
That was not a giant disco ball. It was the spaceship that takes David Gilmour home after each show.
God were we lucky those of us who were teenagers in the 70’s with all this genius, blessed ❤
We were VERY lucky. I don't know how many times we played this, first on 8 track then on vinyl and finally on CD.
YES YES crank it up !! Takes 4 0 yrs off. Love Peace n RESPECT xxx
Born in 1962!
I´ve been a guitarist for more than 20 years, playing professionaly for a long time now. The years, the countless hours studying books, scales, styles, techniques, the philosophies behind the making of music, of creating and interpreting, seeing yourself getting old with that instrument by your side: It all comes back to this. This particular solo. It´s not only the pinnacle of a particular style of playing, or instrument, or even of a music genre. It is the absolute best example of why you do it and how to do it: to convey pure, raw emotion in the listener, to take them back wherever they want to go, to be that vehicle for them. Every now and then, when life as a musician gets too hard and i´m about to quit it all, I come back to it and remember why I keep at it.
Thanks for sharing that. That was amazing.
Got to admit one of the best things about being Gen X is knowing that we had the best and y'all know it because we showed it to you, but we lived it and continued every day of Our Lives
Excatly
Pink Floyd's pauses, lack of words is part of their genius.
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words. 😏
This solo has sold more guitars than anything else in history.
Rock on. I found Rock & Roll in the early 70's. Since then I've been to 30+ concerts. In 1994 I went to the Pink Floyd Pulse tour and was blown away by Comfortably Numb, Time and The great gig in the Sky. At the concert in Oakland Cal they had an 8 foot round Disco Ball rose out of the stage and was shot with lasers. The entire Stadium looked like moving liquid plasma.That was during the 2nd guitar solo.
I'm 56 and have seen them in concert. It was everything and more. They are rock royalty.
I first heard this when it was released in 1979 on The Wall album. I was 11 years old and I could live to 111 years old and never hear anything better than this. Music today has taken so many steps backwards. To any artists looking for inspirations please look back and realise we had a golden era that sadly will never be recaptured.This is a masterpiece that can never be bettered.
Absolutely
Music has not taken a step backwards, its rather commercial music which has gotten repetitive, following computer analysed algorithms. If you spend the time and if you are actually willing to not be prejudiced towards something new, you will find gems! I can promise you that. I listen to both this times music as the old ones, I agree that Pink floyd has reached a level that no one can beat but todays artists arent too bad either!
@@mirai.. Nobody buy albums anymore, so the discography lost the big money, nobody today could never pair what Pink Floyd earned (Nick Mason once said that he sometimes feel embarrassed to think about how much money they have earned). One example: Lunapop an Italian band unknown outside the Italian peninsula, sold more copies of its debut album in Italy than any Justin Bieber album in the entire world.
It's the same that happens with movies, streaming platforms will never be as profitable for producers as theaters.
Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones are in the top of the highest grossing tours still today.
An artist can become the Pink Floyd only with total freedom, and today this don't exist.
It's what Scorsese said about Marvel franchise: mass-produced movies, marketing products all equals, where the director counts for zero or almost nothing; the same as theme parks.
And these mass produced movies and music suffocates authorial products.
This is one side of the problem. The other side is that nobody has anything to narrate to the public. The western world is too much wealthy (in all senses) and static, so much so that we waste time talking about frivolous bullshit.
Maybe the pandemic, the Ukrainian war and the climate crisis will change something in the future.
@@nicoladc89 u completely missed my point - i mean i can agree on what ur saying, Im just not sure why you are telling me this...
I was 18 when this came out, nothing better.
The movie is just as deep-
Your jaw will be wowed open.
Fifty years ago 👁
Was blessed to be front Section live outdoors-and it was off the charts. The 70s really gave us a gift in Pink Floyd.
Best guitar solo of all time period
I was lucky enough to see them perform this live in the 90s. It was *literally* breathtaking. I genuinely hyperventilated.
I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to hear them live. I'd gladly hyperventilate :-).
Tears still are wrung from my soul each time I hear this masterpiece. That is an ocean since 1979. There will never be another band like Pink Floyd and David Gilmour is still the greatest at pulling emotion out of a guitar
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen/listened to this, it still gets to me. NO ONE can make a guitar convey emotions like David Gilmour. Utter perfection.
Thete are people who can play music, then there is Pink Floyd
Watching Pink Floyd live on the Pulse tour was the best experience of my life when it comes to concerts. It's mind blowing.
Got to see this show in an football stadium next to Stevie ray best concert ever.
WOW !!!
Tampa, Fl 1994, 3rd row front and center. Best ever!!
I've experienced it personally. I was at a concert in 1994 in Prague at the biggest stadium in the world - Strahov.
I will never forget that show for the rest of my life. There were more than 120,000 people at the concert. It was open air, it was raining lightly, but nothing could spoil the experience. Thank God I could see it.
You're so lucky! Greetings from the USA 🇺🇸
If it teared you up.... You felt it in your SOUL..!!
The woman in the pink shirt who was crying - I think that was how many people felt when they heard The Wall album for the first time. I heard it for the first time maybe 10 years after it came out. I listened to nothing else for 6 months. This song isn't even my favorite from this band, but I know what this woman is feeling. It's great to see that it can still has this affect all these years later.
I saw them in concert, 1994, Giants Stadium and they played this song. They had speakers set up all around the stadium. It was complete surround sound. It was absolutely amazing. And the visuals were next level. It wasn't a concert. It was a voyage.
complete surround sound.
I saw them in 94 too. By far the best show I’ve ever experienced
A voyage...yes. Excellent way to put it. Very emotional journey.
Cleveland Stadium 94. Probably 50, 000 people or more. The Stadium seated 80,000 so I'm probably a little low on the estimate. GREAT TIMES MAN!
@@brianbreining4614 Hell yeah bro!
You just don't listen to this, you feel it deep in your soul
I saw them in '94'. Truly amazing show. This song and Comfortably Numb were the last two songs they played. Their music can take you places by just closing your eyes. Shedmen.
The laser show at the Oakland Coliseum was amazing. They shot some of those lasers onto an 8 foot round spinning disco ball and the entire stadium and everyone in it looked like a swirling liquid plasma. Some of the greatest songs of our age, along with a once in a life time show. Back in the 70's they had "Laserium", a large domed building where they shot lasers pattens around the room to the music of "The Dark side of the Moon" album in Dolby Stereo. Shedmen
I love watching people discover this great music that I was lucky enough to grow up with.
me too
Same here. I love the joy it brings all these people.
My face is sodden with tears. Human excellence will keep us going. This type of cross cultural exchange will save the world.
David Gilmour tears my soul from my body EVERY time I hear this.
A Total and complete MASTERPIECE.
I'd seen Pink Floyd 3 times before they brought this tour to the San Francisco Bay Area ( Oakland Coliseum ) in 1994. I waited in line for 3 days and got tickets to all 3 shows. It's always been a joy to turn someone on to something they've never heard / seen before. I really enjoy the multiple reactions and emotions here.
This was part of the Division Bell tour in 1994. They did 3 dates in Philadelphia and I was lucky to attend 2 of them. Every time I watch/hear this live clip, the emotion I felt those nights comes back in such a manner that it is overwhelming. Thank you for putting this together. I have Pulse on CD and DVD and I should break them out more often. David Gilmour is such a treasure. His contribution to music has been immeasurable and the music speak for itself. I am forever grateful that I got to be on the third rock from the sun to hear and see this first hand.
I thought this was from Pulse which was around that time. I remember going into Camelot Music, I’m truly aging myself with that remark, and got the box set and it had the small light on the front that pulsed.
This was Pulse concert, Earls court exhibition centre London 1994 . I know this because i was there and I've still got the T shirt and ticket stub.
@@seandobson6221 The recorded concert was Pulse, but the show was part of the Division Bell tour.
@@bgrising I loved the Pulse box set when it came out.
I was at night one in Philly best concert ever!!!
Amazing compilation. I have been binge-watching these reactions to Comfortably Numb for a week or so, and stumbled upon this video. To a person these reactors are stunned, floored, some brought to tears. This song has been a part of my life for decades, but I will never look at it the same again after: A. Seeing this particular performance (my first time seeing it May of 2024), B. Watching these people react to the song and the performance, seeing them genuinely, visibly moved. It's a spiritual experience.
Pink Floyd takes me to a place far away from life's problems. Their music is like no other band with David Gilmore's guitar work and all his heart and soul he puts into it.
Dave Gilmour made that guitar cry in anguish. What a musician! Very glad that he also introduced the world to Kate Bush - maybe he felt his own genius wasn't enough and we needed more, haha! I used to play in bands, and watching this and feeling the emotional charge from that stage makes me miss it more than ever. There's nothing like it if you're an intensity junkie.
Sitting here watching this reaction compilation for the umpteenth time, I get emotional watching it each and every time. Because it's just so crazy how universal this song is. You can't listen to/watch it without feeling the guitar solos and going there with the vocals. This is high level art, zen. But what impresses me just as much is that there are people like you who are willing to put intense effort into creating a compilation of reactions that tell the story of how universal it really is. This compilation is a massively technical undertaking, must have required days of work, I just want to say thank you. It's a service to the rest of us that, I don't think, has really gotten the appreciation it deserves. Thank you, again!
Very kind words, thank you. Yes... they are definitely lots of work but the rewards are that I'm not the only one who sees how amazing music is. So thank you for taking the time to let me know.
To this day I have never found such a profound song. I feel like this song tells the story of my life.
I was at 2 shows of this tour....Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The technical crew somehow managed to make the stadiums sound as if you were laying on your couch listening on a top of the line stereo system, not to mention the lights, lazars, effects and video screen etc. Definitely the best concert experience ever to this day.
Just goes to show that guitar solos don't have to be fast and shredded all the time. Goosebumps all over the place. Epic
Saw Pink Floyd in Germany in 1988 and to this day the absolute best concert I’ve ever been to. It’ll change your mind
Oh wow...I heard that was an amazing show!! Hell yeah...along with being a show from a great band, it was history.
I was lucky enough to attend main road manchester 8/8/88...the gig was meant to be on the 1st but was postponed because they did extra nights in london.
So they performed darkside after the main concert.
I was right at the front leaning on the barrier.
Never will i experience anything like that again.
David rips his heart and soul, serves it directly to ours, deeply out of deepness and leaves us rethinking our existence. This is how the music is supposed to speak to us.
David Gilmour & his strings of emotion … he is my absolute favorite! No flash or hype just pure emotion and magic !! Love Pink Floyd !! 51 years & counting
David FUCKING Gilmour is stunningly underrated even though this is considered one of the greatest guitar pieces in the history of rock music. 9/10 teenagers today have never heard of him. It’s a damn shame
David Gilmore is 76 and still performing magically.
There was Mozart, there was Leonardo da Vinci, there was David Gilmore. All masters of different crafts. Gilmore will be remembered after they are forgotten. Good Sir, Please make more. Life is short but your music will last forever.
1. Gilmour not Gilmore 2. The real genius in the Pink Floyd was Waters
@@nicoladc89 Roger Barrett was the real genius in The Pink Floyd Sound.
I will take the memory of this concert to the grave with me.
Actually being there that night is a life highlight I can put with the birth of my kids and getting married.
I will not get tired of watching people's reaction to thus, and love reading the comments of you all.
Me too!!
Was the stage as big as it looks in the video? I read that this concert was performed in Earl's Court, but I find it hard to believe that such a big stage would fit there.
This song has arguably the greatest guitar solo to EVER be played live. David Gilmour is a guitar good! MammaOG you should do some more Gilmour and show them what he’s really like outside of the Pink Floyd songs.
That is a great suggestion. Sort of how I did for Neil Peart. I am going to seriously noodle that!
@@WonderMommaOG maybe Shine On You Crazy Diamond from Pompeii 2016 would be a good start.
A MASTERPIECE in Musichistory.
Whole album
I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 14. I'm now 66. This solo (2nd one) is the best Strat solo of all time.
I've seen this live many times on different tours of the band and band members. I cried a few times. Everytime I was in heaven. My favorite guitarist and band, by far.
IMHO, the greatest live solo rock guitar performance of all time.
Lo pedí para mi funeral hace 30 años
Anyone who has seen the live performance of "Comfortably Numb" at the Pulse concert would feel speechless when the music ends, wishing the guitar solo wouldn't stop, and envious of those who got to witness it live...
I don't know if it's the best guitar solo ever played live, but it's definitely the best crying guitar ever heard in a man's hands.
This is definitely my favourite. A good second for me would be Alvin Lee - The Bluest Blues.
I am in no way diminishing this solo by Gilmore. Love him saw Floyd three times. But another song where I really hear/feel the guitars crying is the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East version of Stormy Monday. The guitars seem be put out human emotion of crying desperation.
Каким нужно быть гением, что бы написать такую музыку, которая вызывает такие эмоции у людей. Мне 70 лет и я слушаю и слушаю это чудо, душа вырывается наружу от этих звуков.
That solo, on an open highway, makes you hit 90-100 REAL quick...chasing the sunset...so good.
Especially at night.
Live in Montreal in the 80’s, had a floating pig. All their concerts are spectacular. Glad I got to experience some of the best bands of the time and kinda feel sorry for the younger generation today.
Who doesn't get teary eyed at this classic
Experienced P Floyd live at the Hollywood Bowl right after the release of Dark Side. Let me tell you I will never forget it.
Thank you, WonderMomma, for taking on such a huge task, and putting out an outstanding product. I can’t imagine anyone with the ability to do this justice besides you. Pink Floyd is a big part of my musical youth. I have their albums and saw them live in the mid 70s - a transformative experience. 💖
Thank you so much, this was a difficult one and I was worried of doing it justice. Appreciate the kind words.
@@WonderMommaOG Completed Justice. You did it. I just watched your Lynyrd Skynyrd One moments ago. Free Bird is practically an national anthem and you did it justice too.
@@RockPowerUSA 😊Thank you. Means a lot.
me too!!!!!!! I'm 70 now,,, makes me cry EVERY time... but you have to play LOUD on a good system.
If you're a musician on that stage, how do you go on after a performance like this? It's perfection that will never be replicated.
Gilmore is a master of his craft, when you add Waters Mason and Wright, magic happened !
I shed tears for this song everytime I hear it. I'm a huge fan of The Pink Floyd, but as a fan of all great music from Beethoven to Biggie Smalls, this is the most carefully crafted song...ever!
My generation had the best music hands down and we were lucky to have the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music. 3 decades of awesomeness. I talk and brag about the music I grew up with to anybody and everybody who will listen. I am almost 61 years old now and I am hell-bent on keeping this music alive. I preached it to my kids growing up and now my grandkids. I tell my kids all the time when I die the torch is yours make sure you keep this music alive. I often wonder who will fight over my collection of vinyl. Keep this good music alive y’all we’re counting on you.✌🏻😎
It's just not the same. There are no touring bands like back in the day. I live in a smaller midwestern town, Iowa City. Late 70's early eighties here, there were 2-3 very good bands playing at different venues every weekend. The first year the arena opened here, I saw Fleetwood Mac, The Police, Billy Joel, Joe Walsh, Yes... They don't even have concerts there anymore. Bands just can't get good together by playing anymore. A lot of producing and sampling.
@@patrickorourke2369 that is more true for some areas but I go to concerts all the time. In the last nine months I’ve seen Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, America, Daughtry, Doobie Brothers, Tears for Fears, Loverboy with Styx and REO Speedwagon who toured together and then the last one I went to was Commodores touring with Santana. On average I go to about 6 to 10 concerts a year.
That my friends is what we called Head Music in the 70’s. You didn’t need drugs for the head trip - but they did make it more fun. Got to see them live and it was incredible
This was the first concert I took my son to when he was 16 years old. It was 1994 Division Bell in Texas.
That’s awesome. I saw them in Tampa, 1994
To live in that time and to hear them play live was nothing short or a miracle. When this and other Pink Floyd songs came out in the 70’s and 80’s we did not have cable TV, GAME CONSOLES, CELL PHONES AND A HOST OF OTHER THINGS the younger generations have to get in the way of life. We had music and artists like this and we lived our lives by the songs they sung and how it impacted us and our lives. There are MANY great artists from this era that you should listen to, so many I cannot put them all down here, but Pink Floyd was the best. When a new album came out everyone ran to the records store. The closest thing we had to MTV was each Friday’s ‘Wolfman Jack’ show that came on at 10;30pm and everyone would gather around the TV to hear live bands play. It is good, you the younger generations listen to music like this because it will BRING YOU BALANCE! Put your phones down; your tablets down, your Game Center’s and turn the lights down, get a black light bulb and listen. You will be free’r than you have ever been in your lives. Trust me; trust our baby boomer generation because w lived it!
I am touched by your comments. Couldn't have said it any better.
The lyrics to this song are amazing, that goes without saying. But what gets me is the guitar solos, both of them gave me the chills. Thanks for putting this one together, you have made my day
YAY! It took me a while as I was easily distracted from this one! Glad it brought you some joy. 😊
I love the original recording of "Comfortably Nunb" off the "Wall" album, but to see them perform "Comfortably Numb" live was one of the greatest things I have witnessed in my life!
1991 Pink Floyd in the Superdome in New Orleans, still to this day THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER WITNESSED, and I have been to many
It's sweet seeing people of all different backgrounds, races, genders coming together and show love for music. No matter what Genre of music you like the best your Heads are back, swaying back and forth eyes closed or air guitar. Love flows through music. ROCK ON MY FRIENDS.....
David is music God .There is no other way to say it. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for about 40+ years and their songs still get me. And yes this is the best solo ever. No question about it. You guys just experienced the greatest band ..
David Gilmore's wife once told a reporter that, David was never good using words but he could explain anything with his guitar
I hope that's true.
I truly enjoy experiencing newbies being “Gilmoured “.
Dave plugs his guitar into your soul and illuminates areas of which you’ve never dreamed or imagined.
One of a kind band in all of it’s incarnations.
This was voted best guitar solo of all time by Planet Rock listeners, Freebird came second. Hard to imagine this ever being beaten or any solo even coming close to replicating the emotion this make you feel. I am 61 and i cry very time i hear it! It takes you to a place beyond the numbness in my best quote here. Amazing edit so appreciate the effort taken to give us this compilation. Awesome effort!
One of the things that I love about the visual element of this concert performance is that it gives perhaps a more hopeful interpretation of the song. Early in the song the colors are muted and relatively dim. But as the second guitar solo continues and our hearts soar the colors become more vibrant and bright until the "soul" at the center of the performance literally *opens* *up.* It becomes almost a refutation of the _The_ _Wall_ -- or perhaps an example of how your life can change if you learn from it.
That's a beautiful interpretation of that!
Wow….what a fantastic interpretation.
The original recording, the movie to it, it all lays out a very heavy falling into dystopian madness, and that’s literally where the character in the album and the movie goes from here.
But, this line performance, 40 years later, it’s light and wonderful. Refutation, absolutely.
The most emotional guitar solo in history, to me at least. The song is about addiction if you didn’t know.
So jealous it's their 1st Time xxx THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING IN MY LIFE xxx
I just watched this video for the 3rd time, but I never get tired of seeing the expression that the listeners of this song have.
No one can remain indifferent to this music, which leads you to the sources of your emotions.
And WonderMommaOG knows better than anyone how to bring these emotions together. Well done WonderMommaOG.
Thank you!
David's solo just reaches every fiber of your soul! By far the greatest live solo of all time!! not even close!
Hi , my dad has seen Floyd 7 times in their prime. Back then concerts were like going to a symphony. You sat and listened to the entire thing... no cheerleader stuff or choreography. Also as soon as the house lights went out everybody sparked spliffs so their was this stoned vibe that everybody was sharing. The sound and lighting were always state of the art. Also the sound went into Quad during various parts for dramatic effect.....the keyboard would go around the stadium or voices or birds would go from side to side. It was a spectacle and a fully immersive experience. Back in the 60's and 70's the popular drugs were cannabis and psychedelics and their music reflected going on a "trip". Echoes was structured like a symphony with 4 parts. Glad you could enjoy and appreciate Pink Floyd and the where they could take thought feeling and emotion and the human experience. Stay cool and open and enjoy......:)

David Gilmour has one of the most versatile voices in music. Gorgeous. Saw them live during this tour. Rain was coming down and the lasers were pulsing. It was a spiritual experience.
😍👌💥💯🎶
There you go folks! D. Gilmour and his Fender hardly ever fails to catch your soft spots... 😉
All the points, props and grains of sand to our OG MOMMA's bag for this compilation.
(and there's nothing wrong to feel 'misty' while listening this gem of Classic Rock ✌️🥰)
🤘😎🇫🇮💙
Thank you Jaska!
Seeing this live is one of the greatest highlights of my life
All of them are just so impressed imagine how people felt when the song first hit the radio way back then a lot of people picked up the guitar because of this solo at the end of the song many of today’s guitar players in the last 20 30 years all have David Gilmore
Just do what your do! It"s more than you think? It's showcasing what the world lacks in MUSIC today ! Natural Talent!
Thanks for doing this version. I love Pink Floyd. David Gillmore is one of my favorite guitarists of all time if not number one. That solo to me is the best solo ever. Never seen them live. I wish I had. I've seen a lot of live guitarist live, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Zack Wild, Ace Frehley, Glenn Tipton, Joel Welch just a few to mention. But not David and, it bugs the shit out of me that I haven't. This song is about one of the band members hurting his leg before a concert. We went to a Dr. Before playing. He gave him morphine to go out and play. The high from it reminded him of having fever when he was young.
Kenneth Bernal I always knew the subtext of the lyrics to this masterpiece were describing a drug induced state, but learned something totally new from your comment. Thank you! The lines: " My hands felt just like two balloons..", " ...just the basic facts, can you show me where it hurts? " You may feel a little sick. " confirm your description of the band member with an injured leg being taken to a doctor and given a morphine injection so he could go on stage and perform. Brilliant writing in those lines, supported by some of the most epic guitar work ever recorded.
@@jaycorby l have seen many reaction and comments about this song but, never seen anyone mention the meaning in this way. The line "can you stand now. I do believe it's working good. That will keep you going to to show. Come on it time to go ". Explains the whole meaning. I read it in magazines call Hit Parader back in the 80's. I just can't remember if it was David Gillmore or Roger Waters that said it. Yes one of many masterpieces from Pink Floyd.
One of the guys said epic,best description. I've been to close to 100 concerts and Pink Floyd Pulse concert was EPIC!! It still gives me chills watching it. There's no way there will be any better,ever.
In 1984 I turned 14 and thought I found something new, then found out all of Pink Floyd that existed then. How I kept my sanity through all these years. Thanks to Roger, David, Nick, and Richard, I keep on to this day, therapy is subjective....or?
The World could use a moving song right about now. This is truly a moving experience for anyone who loves music and where it takes you, Loved everyone's reaction. Great job putting this video out, Bravo!
