The only guitarist that actually add melody and emotion in his solos freaking love him

"High Hopes" is one of these latter-day Pink Floyd songs that, without Roger Waters or Syd Barrett, Gilmour could carry the mantle with pride.

He’s just on another level

Chills every time Gilmour comes in with the slide guitar at 5:54. So powerful.

David Gilmour is one of the Greatest musicians to ever take a breath on this planet. Then God placed a string instrument in his hands and made him a music God!

These guys were highly educated and intelligent. They were all studying architecture when they met up. If I recall, Syd and the others formed the band to help pay schooling costs. Also note: Gilmour and Barrett were childhood friends. Gilmour taught Syd how to play guitar. It was one of the reasons they brought Gilmour into the band when Syd began to slip away.

what can you say when you have just seen greatness

This is actually one of Pinks Floyd’s best songs. it is truely one of Pink Floyd’s masterpieces & shows the true core of what Pink Floyd is👍

David. Is. The. Best. 👍👍👍

This performance in particular is great. I feel like you can tell he’s up there playing for his long lost mates.

David Gilmour is a contemporary Confucius of British psychedelic rock.Simple,ingenious and soulful music.I respect you for your choice(Hello,salute from Russia,Gilmor & Pink Floyd forever).❤️🖐️👍

Hi Kristin. Thank you for reacting to this. Glad you liked it. This is one of my favorite versions of this song. He visited Pompeii with the Pink Floyd in 1971 and played in that same ancient amphitheater, but without any spectators other than their crew. It was very surreal, they played "Echoes" (another of my favorites) along with other songs. He returned to the same amphitheater with the band in the video we just saw in 2016(45 years later). They played to some 3,000 people over two nights I believe. They are all phenomenal musicians in their own right. I've heard that was the first live performance to a crowd of any kind since the year 45 AD. Hence they were not allowed to sit in the seating area. They were all on the floor of the arena. David Gilmore was 70 years old at the time. The video on the screen was the original video released with the song by Pink Floyd(minus Roger Waters) in 1994. I believe Mr Gilmore doesn't play notes on his guitars......he plays emotions on the strings.

David Gilmour is a master of emotional music. His or Pink Floyd music is special to other music.

About min 7:38 David Gilmour is just an unmatched musician in so many words that I can't even be able to find accuracy to describe, those dynamics he just produces out of thin air, but how they just hit real Sutil in the soul fibers. This man was indeed blessed with a gift of music, if I can go further, before Pink Floyd, he was just a busker, playing music for coins, now he is a living legend, but he deserves it for sure. God bless David Gilmour!!

what heaven sounds like

Lost innocence of childhood when everything held a sense of wonder.

Kristin you are beautiful. You remind me so much of my ex-wife when we got married 30 years ago this month by the way. She was gorgeous as well. Keep doing Pink Floyd and David Gilmour. This is a great song with a lot of passion and emotion

David is truly a gift to this troubled world!

I've seen Floyd twice live (Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell/Pulse) and it's not a show, it's a religious experience. This song reminds me of my childhood in the English countryside, mowing lawns, bees, birds and church bells. Always brings fond memories and a smile to my face.

Wowwww he's a master

Absolute genius!!!

Brilliant absolutely so. Still can bring a tear to my eye

thank you for a genuine reaction x

Got to love how Dave Gilmour plays slide guitar

DG is my favorite guitarist, and has been since I heard his solo in Time way back in 1973! Great way to start my day! Thanks KK!

That is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs of all time. The best version of this song I've found is live at the AOL session in 2006. DAVID'S voice has never sounded better.

This was an amazing performance from Gilmour! I wish I was there to see it!

I was too young to see the original Pink Floyd back in the day but I did see them on both the Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell tours and I don't think anyone can touch them for the sheer magnitude and majesty of their performances. David Gilmore is a true master on the guitar.

I truly believe that David Gilmore was sent here from another WORLD 🌍 just so WE HUMANS can appreciate the Way He PLAYED the GUITAR 🎸🎶💜

Love your inspired requests and reactions !! DG is a living god and to sound that good at 70 years young is testament too fine wine ageing beautifully . This version loses ground due to not having other Pink Floyd members around it ,so pulse live version is better. The last time DG played here was recording Live at Pompeii in 1971 with no audience,so epic too go back there in 2016.

What do you want from me - Live Pompeii is amazing

He is the only one who can get into my soul beautiful

Coming back To Life...the live Pulse concert...will blow your mind!

Knowing the bands history and the lyrics of this song, it chronicles the bands climb to super stardom and he's now looking back on such. Basically says how they all desired to reach the top of their mountain but when they did, they still felt the need to reach for more. Also looking back on what they had to go thru to get there...aka the burning bridges, etc.

The version from LIVE in GDansk with an orchestra even better on lap steel slide solo and outro with acoustic classical guitar is simply sublime. As the producer of 'The Wall ' Bob Ezrin said, "David has the best hands in the business. You could give him a ukulele and he'll make it sing like a Stradivarius" Yes, indeed. I couldn't agree more.

Gilmour on the lap steel never will get old.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but a lot of people either don't realize or look past the fact this show was the first live broadcast with an audience in the coliseum since 92 AD. Think about that...the last performance there in front of people were actual gladiators.

once again the pulse version is better but imagine being that good at 70

Great choice! If I had to choose a favorite PF song (and there are SO many) it would be this one - as we grow older, songs like this take on a deeper meaning - the loss of our childhood dreams as we become adults. i agree with one of the other comments that the Pulse Live version (or the studio version) is even more so.

David Gilmour is a absolute genius amazing talent doesn't get much better than this

Looking back on our youngest days...sounds like...all the above❤

Another great song from this album is “what do you want from me?”

One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs....great job, and thanks.

Man, man, man... David is getting so old!! Pink Floyd is all but gone... damn this video reminds me that things are finite. * however we do have all the goodness to reflex upon when listening to video's and recorded music from guys like David!! \m/

Just time,ambition, success and the loss of the simplicity of youth -

Have you ever seen a guitar crying, that is David Gilmour

Love David Gilmour! Love your reaction! Please react to" Run Like Hell" live at Pompeii. It will blow you away!

As amazing as this concert was, I still feel it's missing something, which Pulse in 1994 had. There's an extra layer of warmth and soul that this concert just doesn't have. 1994 was peak, the high water mark before the tide rolled back. They had a perfect collection of musicians, vocalists and stage designers, and I suspect it will never be equalled.

OMG, GOD EXIST. AND PLAY THE GUITAR I AND IT'S CALLED DAVID GILMOUR

David Gilmore is a music genius.

A reflection on Gilmour's, Waters and Barrett' young lives in Cambridge . the movie's set in one of the Cambridge Colleges, Grantchester and the Cambridgeshire Fens with a view of Ely Cathedral.

Thank you Kristin for sharing this masterpiece!

If you really want to enjoy Pink Floyd. Listen with Headphones 🎧... The Albums tell you a Story from Beginning to the End.... Greatest Light Show Ever.... Great Show ☺️

Get emotional listening to David. All the feeling he puts into playing comes out again and it's physical. Great reaction and I am very glad you did it!

Magic ✌️

Sublime!.

SHOUT OUT TO YOU

Haha. Awesome eh? This song is from the Division Bell. Many of the songs were written or co-written by David's wife, Polly Sampson, who's a novelist. Great songs on that album. The Pompeii concert is incredible for audio and setting.

What runs there in the background behind the film is the original video clip for the recording. Not only the music but also this work is fantastic and phenomenal.

I loved your reaction!

Cool

y el video oficial es hermoso tambien, todo es onírico, un sueño nostalgico e inalcanzable.

You are 🔥

Very underrated album.

The sequel to time, Being successful but older much older,

Great reaction, there is so much more from Pink Floyd to come, try Shine on you Crazy Diamond from the Pulse concert.

You should watch Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb, live Pulse

Sos hermosa

Listen to Castellorizon from David

The person who requested it. Should have gave her the pulse version.

The video has lots of postmodern themes, how human desires and greed drive out all that is good, innocent and even aesthetic beauty.

"So David, what are you gonna play tonight?" ..... "Well, I rather thought we could start off with a little slide solo that will make you think my strings are made from liquid gold followed by a modest bit of acoustic noodling that'll make you believe that the Angel Gabriel is playing at the feet of god himself....."

Kristin, you should also check out David's version of High Hopes at the Gdansk concert with fellow band member Richard Wright (his last performance before he died). It's just as good as this one. And their performance of Echoes at that concert! My Lord! Their musical chemistry was sublime. You should react to Echoes.

Hi is not juste phenomene hi is the king of gitar , you must look his history withe gitar in his life

Hi great reaction you have to do on the turning away live if will blow you away trust me gilmours solo at the end please

the 1994 Pulse concert version of this is way better that steel guitar solo is so awesome in it

The amphitheatre dates back from 70 BC. it is hard to find a more special and fitting location for this spectacle

Please try "Legend of a Mind" The Moody Blues, Live at Red Rocks

One of the great guitar players on a not so great song :)

React to David Gilmour play the saxophone in Red Sky at Night (Remember that Night)

All the girls loved David when he was young

You'll find out in 30 40 years

"He's even speaking the language" Multilingualism is very common, globally, just not in the US.

I can see you’ve been Floyd encapsulated totally stuck to your screen, When David plays the acoustic guitar, I ve played this song on my stereo for my 4 year old who doesn’t sit still for more than a minute but this song works tho

It isn't Pink Floyd. It's David Gilmour.

Father o all

I don't know what the significance is but I'm pretty sure that the bust they are carrying at the end is Syd Barrett. That's too long of a story to get into now but a lot of respect for David doing that. You can't really see it in this video but if you watch the actual video you will.

listen to i'm alive by anderson wakeman bruford and howe

and not an emotion shown or a tear shed .... are you human !?

I can tell he’s struggling more to play the instruments. It’s really sad. But High Hopes Live at PULSE in 1994 is way better. Such a different experience.

Hola Kristin....saludos....por favor reacciona a "Coming back to live"....P.u.l.s.e.

Floyd are all about creating an atmosphere you.can lose yourself in

POMPEI ITALY??

Trust me on this one .. react to " Dire Straits sultans of swins alchemy live "

not a movie ust a video

The song, Dogs Of War, by Pink Floyd is really good, but not a lot of air play....here's the link to the live performance if you're interested in reacting to it...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtaEi6uZssfDiYU.html ...it's symbolic of the issues of today....

Kristin ❤️! I'm going to be 🔥 #controversial 🔥 and say I prefer Nightwish's version. 😋 I wonder if David is goung to retaliate with a Nightwish cover? Maybe "The Islander"?

Hi kirstin react to snowy white my bird of pradice check it out

Not bad for pensioners hey?

❤❤❤
