I'm a big fan of @pinkfloyd and @davidgilmour and this reaction video was a bit of a nostalgic reminder of my guitar beginnings.
I have never seen Pink Floyd: Pulse Concert Performance and so I was shocked seeing the amazing scene and immersive experience when the giant ball opened and changed into a flower in the middle of the stadium.
I hope you'll enjoy my Pink Floyd reaction and let me know in the comments what does 'Comfortably Numb' mean to you and how did you discover Pink Floyd music. I'm always interested in reading other people's music stories!

Before I learned to play guitar, I was convinced that David Gilmour was a magician or an angel - something inhuman anyway - because I couldn't believe a mere human being could wring all those emotions out me, just by playing guitar. Then I learned to play, learned his solos note for note, and am even more convinced that he's a magician or an angel! Anyone can learn his solos, they're not ridiculously fast or technical, but no-one else can stomp all over my soul like he can. Oh, they can play all the right notes in the right order at the right time, but they lack the witchcraft he has in his hands.

That's not witchcraft. Sorry. He didn't need to Cast spells. What he has lived in life and overcame comes through his fingers to the guitar and is carried to us on the " wings of Love." Its just that simple.

Some people argue the second solo of comfortably numb as played during the pulse concerts has remained the best guitar solo ever played on this planet. I tend to agree. There are probably more skillful solos in terms of technique, but the way Gilmore makes his guitar sing and convey emotions beyond words is unmatched!

One of my pet peeves is when people call it a "solo". It's NOT a solo. The band NEVER stops playing. They just tone it down a bit to let him shine and support him, occasionally rising up to the forefront, especially the drums a few times. The bass guitar maintains the backing throughout as well. So IMO this is technically an "instrumental" performance, highlighting Gilmour's pure emotion pouring out of his guitar. As far as "best", it is subjective. For pure beauty, yes this is tops. For sheer craziness, nothing can touch EVH's Eruption performance. But it's apples and oranges.

The "disco ball" opens as a lotus flower. In the song the protagonist is trapped inside themself, "comfortably numb", unfeeling, and the opening of the lotus represents their opening and release. I am old enough to have seen PF in 1967. The production of music and especially its availability were very different. The first time I saw them they were in the back bar of aa north east London pub on a stage no more than 300mm high.

Whenever I experience the 'second solo' from this piece, and I have experienced it a multitude of times, it is almost unimaginable that a human being could wrest that kind of sound and emotion from a stringed instrument. It is as though I'm placed under some sort of spell - chills run up and down my body and I sway with the up and down clusters of notes being produced. Gilmore acts the sorcerer here, and we are drawn back again and again to his magic. I'm almost reluctant to admit that I'll be 79 years old this September - are there any others my age who react this way?

I'm 72. Five years ago I took my parents to see Brit Floyd for their 70th anniversary. They had never been to a rock concert. My 95 year old father was a lover of jazz, but had no interest in rock or guitar. They played Comfortably Numb, and during the second solo my father turned to me and said "God damn!" I said "I know". Enough said.

I was born in the 60s. The difference between music then and now is that music was allowed to be much more exploratory and diverse, as well as the beliefs of people were allowed to be. Now, musicians and people in general allow themselves to be forced into label-boxes, and individuality is demanded to be sacrificed for the sake of conformity. It's gotten so bad that if a person doesn't strictly conform to a plurality they can be cancelled and have their lives and careers demolished. This has resulted in modern-music having a canned and labeled feel to it, whereas music in the 60s and 70s was a complete buffet in comparison. Pink Floyd were fearless explorers of music, constantly trying to find new ways to express their emotions and messages through musical methods that were extremely experimental and inventive at the time. A prime example of this is that most rock musicians and groups stayed locked into using a 4/4 time signature for their music. Bands like Pink Floyd used multiple time signatures and often would shift time signatures throughout some of their songs. You can really see their exploration in this area in their earliest works as they were defining themselves as musicians. A key to Pink Floyd's music being timeless and loved by successive generations of listeners is they've been as masterful at composing their music as they've become masterful at playing and singing their music. Another major factor is that they're constantly striving to improve their songs. When you compare the Pulse performance of Comfortably Numb to the song on the album, you can see major differences in the levels of David's guitar mastery. His playing and singing has become much more emotive and nuanced over the decades. One of David's greatest gifts is his ability to play various types of guitars while losing none of his emotive ability. He can emotionally wreck a person's heart whether he's playing a Strat, an acoustic guitar, or a steel guitar. One time I told my wife that he's so phenomenal at emoting with string instruments, that he could make a crowd start weeping using just a cardboard box with rubber bands as strings and holding it up to a microphone while he plucked the rubber bands. 😁

I went to school in the 70's, and the music throughout the 70's, into the mid-late 80's was just so amazing, everything seemed to be bringing more talent, every record seemed to be great. We took it for granted that it would always be that way, we appreciated it, but would have appreciated it more had we known that would be the pinacle. Just amazing times, I'm so happy to have lived through it. Listen to music by The Jam, The Pokice, Blondie, Ultravox, Frankie Goes to Hollywood to hear people making just the music they wanted to make, protest music was something that was strong in the 70's as few could stand up to 'the man' in any other way. A time when music really had something to say.

Just as John Bonham KNEW the "power of the pause" on the drums, so the master David Gilmour understands the "squeezing of each note"- when to attack, when to release, & his understanding of "intervals" between notes is simply amazing: how he uses those intervals to "lift or hold" you in the melody. He's truly in a class by himself.... & a humble man. I love you, David Gilmour-you're my guitar hero! Thanks for posting, Bro'!

You'd need to understand the blooming of the lotus flower, and the life meaning it holds. The flower opens when Gilmour's iconic guitar solo hits its peak. This is among the greatest live guitar solos (and overall performances) ever. As for the guitar solo, thanks so much for not stopping the video to analyze it. As is ALWAYS the case with Pink Floyd, not only is the musical performance a work for art, but the background art (lighting and effects?) is a work of art.

This is definitely the best version - PULSE was extraordinary 3 stages all moving on, being played on or dismantled. Two weeks sold out 80000 per night in London at Earls Court. Phenomenal. Do something different and listen to ECHOES both at Pompeii but ALSO Gilmour at Gdańsk - the very last time it was played before Rick passed. There’s something special about BOTH versions - the Gdańsk however for me edges it because Rick and David riff so beautifully off each other.

14:02 The reason for that is that nowadays we mostly have MUSICIANS, who play an instrument and that's it, the rest will be done by a computer. Back then, music was made by ARTISTS. An artist is someone who doesn't just play an instrument, but expresses feelings and tells a story through it. And in every generation there are a few virtuoso's who've completely mastered their craft and are simply on another level from everyone else. David Gilmour most definitely is a virtuoso.

Just to point it out, this song was originally sung by Roger Waters and David Gilmour. Roger sang the "doctor" part & Dave sang the patient/performer part. Since Roger was not in the band when this tour happened, PF came up with this unusual reworking of the doctor vocals, sung by a muted chorus of the rest of the band. That's why that part sounds so different to you.

The staging and light show cost 25 million--back in 1994. They were always cutting-edge in terms of live performance. I was lucky to see them a couple of times live back in the day. Check out the live version of 'On the Turning Away'--the vocals are mind-blowing, especially a capella. The 'Pulse' concert is worth checking out in full--they also played the entire 'Dark Side of the Moon' as part of the performance.

Faana commented on the amount of work involved in producing this performance. First I really knew of PF was when I caught the whole of this Pulse concert by pure chance on late-night TV in the late 90's, I just couldn't stop watching, the music and the lightshow were stunning. Just think of the computing power used to operate all those hundreds of lights individually in 3 dimensions and colour (and co-ordinated with the music). I became a Pink Floyd addict overnight. And Dave Gilmour's playing, of course.

Not a Glitterball! Its the Opening of The Lotus Flower! I actually felt my unconscious expanding and opening in tune with the Lotus Flower! Its timed perfectly to opening at a certain high point of the guitar solo n the musical sound......it worked perfectly for me listening n watching this the first time. .....I literally my minds consciousness open it was incredible....and i immediately knew that Id just heard rhe greatest guitar solo of all time no doubt, despite the polls! I don't know who many truly experience this a mind consciousness opening experience, but i was always described as a very sensitive child growing up, and I try to keep that sensitivity. Unlike most PK fans also, Id never heard the song all the way though or the guitar solo! So coming to this video only a year ago.....in bed, in the dark....in a very relaxed state, it literally blew my mind! I was reeling n almost mentally floating for days afterwards from the whole experience.😮🙏

Hi New here like it so far but I was looking through your reactions and out of the 70's the best two bands were pink floyd and led zeppelin they were peers in quality and composition I see you have not done any zeppelin they were a blues hard rock band if you could react to their song...since I've been loving you live at Mattson square garden 1973 it will give you a good feel for the bands style.

One very young lady I saw reacting to this same video said that the opening of the disco ball seemed to her "like watching an angel being born" ... To me that pretty much sums up the entire performance.

I've never heard anyone talk about its significance (probably cause I never looked into it), but to me the MIRROR ball seems to open up like a Lotus Flower.. representing Spiritual Awakening & Growth, Purity and Beauty coming out from the mud... Then at the end the Phoenix Rises with the raising of the wings ... Representing Rebirth, new life... pause it at the end with the wide shot.. So the lyrics speak about how life is tough and you get comfortably numb.. but Gilmour's solos brings us back by its purity & beauty and we spring back to life.. or are reborn to this world with a hope unfound up to this point.. Thoughts are welcome.

Enjoyed your knowledgeable reaction. Nice to see a real guitar player react to a masterpiece and understand how great it really was. I was an old rocker myself back in the 70’s….. and you are right about the difference in mood and purpose of music back then. We didn’t relate music for the money. We created music because we had something to say. Now it’s all about sales, and fame, and money. We just played what we felt, and if it became popular, that was just a bonus. I think we were much happier back then.😎🎸🎶🇨🇦

During the thousands of times I’ve watched this performance, I found myself thinking that the the lotus-ball opens and we catch that ‘fleeting glimpse’ - which is in the lyrics ‘when I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye, I turned to look but it was gone…’ So it quickly goes out as the song is finished… Just a matter of opinion - everyone shall find one’s own meaning, it’s an art) Great reaction, thanks!

Thanks for this - I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I was around then (I'm 59). I don't know that the world was any nicer or more cohesive, but the splinters didn't have a megaphones and were forced to consider others much more often when voicing opinions, because there were no impenetrable echo chambers. Also, absolutely right about the music culture. It was more about groups coming together with similar desires to create music. At the time, it was simply required and expected that whatever music you produced had to be played live in order to survive. Bands INTENDED to be on stage performing their music, so you were always subject to the quality of your last performance. It's trial by fire 100+ nights a year for years! People these days really do not understand how different music sounds when you are actually in the venue with bands like PF. As freaking awesome as this recording is, there is a completely different, existential feeling produced when you have the live sound separation, resonance and community experience of such a concert. I think, maybe, this cultural example of the art influencing society, not vice-versa, that's a reason I don't believe people were fundamentally nicer.

A crittic said people don't want to listen to this kind of music anymore, they want to listen to disco music. So this was the biggest two fingers up to that comment by given him the mother of all disco balls, hope that answers your question.

The story of the disco ball: Back in Pink Floyd's early days they got a review from a music critic that said their music was fine but "not something you could dance to." The band found this hilarious so at their next show they brought out a disco ball so "people could dance if they wanted to." The disco ball became a running concert staple over the years and Floyd even released a compilation album called 'A Collection of Great Dance Songs.' As for any symbolism of the disco ball blooming; I think it's mostly that it looked cool but feel free to find your own meaning for it.
