You've just listened to what is now considered one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history!

The second solo of this song is likely the most emotional I've ever heard.

Glad to see that younger people are realizing what we of the older generation have understood for decades, these guys are and were, true masters.

I never get tired of watching and listening to that performance.

David Gilmour does not simply play the guitar. He tells a story with it.

The best composition ever created.

Greatest guitarist of all time

Is a pleasure to see this generation going back to real music and understanding what is like

That's a great interpretation of this song: "the absence of pain is not happiness". At last someone gets it (and I have seen lots of reactions to this song)!!

It really does my old heart good to see a young lady enjoying my generations music. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.

I was at this concert at Earls Court London in 1994. Still one of the best concerts I have attended.

"the child is grown and the dream is gone" "I have become comfortably numb" I was a teenager when this song came out, and I have personally never had a lyric stick with me as profoundly as these words have. I was a troubled kid and Pink Floyd gave me hope and a sense of not being alone...their music saved me from suffering more than I might have.

Brilliant! I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd In London and also Melbourne Australia an amazing experience both times!

Lie down, close your eyes and let your mind wander is precisely the way to experience Pink Floyd.

It is listed as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time

One of the most beautiful guitar solo's ever. People say it's not the greatest technical solo's but who cares. Gilmour makes that guitar scream!

it was an absolute pleasure to see you react to this. it seemed to really move and touch you. I know that over the last 30+ years since it came out, i get emotional and tear up EVERY time I hear it. Good music should do that right? Well Pink Floyd 's Comfortably Numb does it for most of us. A masterpiece.

i have the concert DVD of the PULSE concert AND pink Floyd WERE FAMOUS for their Light SHOW'S AND DAVID Gilmore's guitar solo is considered to be the best one EVER

Pink Floyd are brilliantly different.

5 mins of a Living Guitar God taking Billions of people on a journey like no other. One thing you never do when watching a Pink Floyd Pulse concert performance, never take your eyes off the show. The lights are Highly choreographed with the music to maximize and amplify the emotion in the music. You should react to Sorrow and Keep Talking. They will amaze you as much as this song

I saw Pink Floyd in 1987. Hands down my favorite concert to this day. I have seen so many amazing concerts but Floyd has something extra special.

Hey there Mia, Pink Floyd are one of The Top Bands of all time, in my books! Understand-ably, many, many Musicians have been inspired by Pink Floyd. To me it's David Gilmore's deliverance with his guitar solo/s that are so moving especially in this song, TY for making this reaction video, Pink Floyd is an Awesome Band. 🎼🎙🎶🎤🎸🎺🥁

Love your reactions.!! Keep em comin.!! Also I love your curls.!! They’re perfect.!! 💕🔥

You said you felt relaxed by this and you could listen to it lying down. I find the best way to hear Pink Floyd is lying down in a dimly lit room with no distractions. I agree with a comment made that "The absence of pain is not happiness." is the perfect interpretation of this song.

There is a very clever Pink Floyd fan out there who says you don’t listen to Floyd you experience Floyd, and with such a large audience absolutely spellbound he is absolutely right.

Considered the finest live solo guitar performance. Their music is best understood through the entire album.

Next time you listen to the song listen to it on headphones . (Pink Floyd without headphones / stereo is sacrilege ) . Great reaction.

It is nice to see some one never heard the song b4 understand what it's about👍🤘

Welcome to the pinnacle of music.

The light show is the eyes of the song

I’m late to this party, but I noticed that no one mentioned the best way to listen to Pink Floyd, especially “The Dark Side of the Moon.” You need to have headphones on, laying in a room lit by candles (a basement rec room is better), laying down (a bean bag chair was my choice the first time), with your friends and all of you in an indica state of relaxation. That’s how I heard it the first time in high school when the week it was released and it was an experience I obviously have never forgotten. Floyd is a trip through your mind’s and emotion’s inner corridors which you probably don’t realize exist. Their music was a point of excitement and eager anticipation of what it would be like as an adult to journey through life. Listening to them now after having put most of my life’s journey behind me is a different experience. Now their words are haunting and illicit melancholy from the difference between youthful imagination of what life would be like and how it actually played out.

Loved how you got into the music.

In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band. “ That was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.” Roger Waters

Check out RUN LIKE HELL from the same Pulse Concert. Fasten your seat belt.

👏👏 Roger Waters was the original bass player who doesn't perform in this concert.He wrote the lyrics to this song.It's about how he felt on stage after being given a sedative for a bad stomach ache.When on stage his hands were numb and his vision was blurred but he continued on with the show.This reminded him of the feeling he had as a kid with a fever.

pink floyd are a british national treasure legends

Has to be listened to as a complete album with the door locked

This is why I have listened to this song at least once a day since it came out in 79. Got to see them on 2 different tours. Since you were expecting something more funky, try Run Like Hell from Pulse. It followed comfortably numb as the final encore.

Incredible

Welcome to the GREATEST TWO GUITAR SOLOS IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK! The brilliance of David Gilmour is unmatched! This song is from their rock opera The Wall which is kinda a throwback to the descent into drugs and madness of the original lead singer Syd Barrett. At this point in the album Pink has gone catatonic and the vultures who make money when he sings shoot him up to get him on stage to perform. So he’s become Comfortably Numb. After this he really goes dark. Go watch the movie with the great Bob Geldorf as Pink. It’s a psychedelic trip.

First of all, thank you very much for not interrupting the solos. If you want the whole Pink Floyd experience, just pick up your headphones, darkened your room and hear their album ‚Dark Side Of The Moon‘, with your eyes closed. I promise you’ll never forget and regret.

Pink Floyd is just the sweetest child hood memory for me. I've been a lil one in the early 80s,and my parents just played their albums up and down all day long. So I was impregnated with that class of music from my earliest days on. So when the 90s came around, with all of their - let's just be real - just bad copies 9f what has been there before, all the other teens were like "hey, take a listen to limp bizkit! That's great shit!" But I was like "you fools have no idea about great shit!!!"

Its a key song on a double album called The Wall ...The songs are all integrated in a story about isolation and the struggle to make contact in the world, Themain character is called Pink, a disturbed rock star ,,

I played the cassette so much the labels wore off, such a great group!

You just listen to the greatest band of all time and the greatest guitar solo ever

First rule with Pink Floyd is Listen, then listen more, eyes shut. The most engaging, involving music of the 20th century, imho ❤️

Amazing band, one of my fav songs of theirs. The Wall and Dark Side of The Moon are both iconic albums This one is from The Wall which is also a movie that I recommend as well. Great reaction! Thanks 😊

Thanks for the reaction, I hope to see you listening to more Pink Floyd. If you do please use both earbuds. Unlike a lot of more modern music, Pink Floyd make great use of stereo effects in their album recordings, so you'd litterally be missing part of their amazing sound if listening with one ear.

Thank you for respecting the greatest guitar solo and show You could possibly see.There is so much more to this concert than that song all are special in their on right. It sold 7 times platinum. The final tour for Pink Floyd.😢

If you want to hear the fantastic lady backup singers of Pink floyd watch Great Gig in the Sky in Venice Italy 1996. Truely incredible. Hope you like it.💖

Great reaction! Maybe next try David Gilmour "a great day for freedom", live in Gdansk

The song in itself is a warning to young people related to heroin use how they can become comfortably numb as time and life passes them by. It was one of the band members addiction to heroin that left him to sick to perform where the other members had to get him something before he could perform this is in the song.

check out the album version of Time by Pink Floyd. I would recommend doing the album versions of their songs first ✌️

Stay awesome virtual hug

Pink Floyd is in my top 5 of the best bands, thanks for your reaction ✨

Definitely check out "Money" (audio only version) from the album - The Dark Side of the Moon 😉 For anyone "new" it's the best introduction to Pink Floyd 😊 After that, if you want to dive a little deeper, "Time" and if you want to be completely knocked off your feet, go straight into the next track on the album which is "The Great Gig in the Sky" Trust me, these 3 will blow your mind 😉.... And might even make you stop and contemplate your entire life!!!

If it’s possible to get a contact high from memories of being privileged enough to experience these extraordinary artists live many times. Those lasers looked like ocean waves to me and I indeed was in a state of bliss for the entire show. The positive vibe with all those beautiful souls in one place focused on the same beauty. That’s what humanity needs more of, we are one with each other and our creator! Sigh I so long for those days, I pray we can abolish the evil in this world and get back to living like we are not just another brick in the wall. After all we are just lost souls swimming in a fish bowl! Wink

love your channel! girl you 🔥 🔥 🔥

For more Pink Floyd: „High Hopes“, „Shine on you crazy diamond“ und „keep talking“ - all live from the same Pulse concert!

Great song, great reaction. Thank you! Subscribed

I thank you for your patience. No yakking. Good music is good music.

This is so good. Please react to pink Floyd "on the turning away" live next! It will blow you away

You can listen to the whole concert, puls tour -94. And....Pink Loyd, Queen, Steve Ray Vaughan and AC/DC. Best seen/listen to live.

if u just wanna chill, pink floyd is THE band to listen to. theres a reason they are regarded as one of the best of all time. amazing vocals, guitar, and lyrics always mean something. david gilmour, the singer is known for maybe the greatest guitarist ever. not for tricks, but for making his guitar sing like no other. 😀

This song is about a performer getting a stimulant shot (potentially Heroin) before having to go onstage. Listen to the lyrics with that in mind and it makes even more sense ❤

Lighting Guy: "So what's the budget?" Floyd: "Yes!"

great reaction mia to a great song keep them coming

At 4:54, when keyboardist Richard Wright glanced to his right, into the camera, with a smirk, letting us know that HE knew he was part of one of the most iconic live tracks in music history. So cool.

They have a huge catalog. This song is from the Wall album, which one needs to listen to the album to understand the songs, as it is a concept album, great reaction.

Like most great British bands and we are the greatest we are song writers musicians and poets all in one.

Now that you've listened to this, fast forward to the end, imagine you're 98 years old and then review the album version of "The Great Gig In The Sky" It's a tough song, but the next logical step from Comfortably Numb. But, instead, you might consider "The Gunner's Dream" from 'The Final Cut'.

That VOICE!!…..THAT GUITAR!!!🤩 David, you changed my Whole World 🌎!!!!! 🙏✨✨✨✨✨

Got ya , didn't it. Don't worry , it gets everyone. I feel like I've been listening to this track my entire life , I'm 55 .

Without a doubt the best band live I have ever seen and I’ve seen a lot Led Zeppelin Rolling Rush Stones Michael Jackson ac dc genesis 😁👌

One of the most emotive musical pieces of the modern era, do yourself a favour and lay on the floor, in the dark and play the full concert, you will be transported to an ethereal plain.

I have 2 favourite songs of all time especially Live. This song and Telegraph Road Live Alchemy Tour 1983 by Dire Straits. Both equal in epicness. T.R. has so many peaks and troughs and an epic finale. My 2 fav. band's of all time and my 2 fav. Guitarists ever in Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. Cheers from Australia 😊🎸🎸

Pink Floyd is Legendary, they are a Vibe! The band formed in London in 1964, they have sold over 400 million albums worldwide. More than any other Rock Band in history,.. except for only The Beatles! You should check their studio version of "Comfortably Numb" on their 1979 The Wall album, it's a beautiful arrangement with a string orchestra. I think you'd love it.

cool song

Love your reactions Mia. React to Pink Floyd "On The Turning Away"

...madam, good luck,..удачи!!

You are so pretty and I love this song so it's like perfect 😂😂💯

Now you need to react to Sorrow on this same Pulse live.

saw 5 times. 1 of 14 sold out days in a row. last concert of The Floyd.( except "live aide" reunion). 200,000 watts of power 200 ton stage, 128 wireless speakers. outdoor needed FAA clearance. ANY song on this concert is a must. Best non band video ever Pink Floyd " on the turning away" ( 1989-07-15) FM by thinkfloyd61 . 7 million views. relevant even today. Disco Ball is an FU to music critics who said Floyd would not make it cause they don't play 4 minute dance songs.

I was there....it was spiritual.

The quintessential headphone band.

Look at you!

If you haven't already, here's a suggestion from another Pink Floyd concert: Here is the title: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019 - KZfaq

You're a babydoll. 😘🌹🥰🍒🐞

you should listen to the studio version. wear headphones. 👍

When an electric guitar speaks directly to your soul...

Invest in a good set of headphones (an ear bud doesn't cut it) and listen to the whole Wall album; start to finish--it's a rock opera. Once you understand the context of Comfortably Numb, it will make more sense to you.

First of all I love a woman who knows how to make herself look elegant and not a hussy LOL your hair is rocking! And thanks for reacting to one of the greatest rock guitar leads of all time. Don't forget all of Led Zeppelin maybe some Lara Fabian and David Phelps until next time stay well and stay smooth

Every guitar dreams of getting Dave Gilmore for Christmas lol

Oh we have so much to show you! Rush, YES, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Bad Company, Elton John, The Who, there is so much amazing talent waiting for you to discover. If your looking for the best of the best.....next should be percussion. Neil Peart who is the drummer for Rush.....Drum solo live....just find it and react.

If you don't get this song, you were born without a soul.

British bands are the best

This is the one band that I would choose to listen to for the rest of my life if I had to choose one band... Now I understand what I've just said holds no merit because I am a nobody I get that.... But I'm a nobody that has a great taste in music...

Mia, I just watched your review of RUSH Tom Sawyer, you mentioned you like all the sound etc. So I see this is your only Pink Floyd reaction. Like mentioned below one of the best ever. So I would like to suggest you revisit Pink Floyd again, BUT BUT BUT PLEASE start with STUDIO versions first. With Floyd you need the studio cuts to get ALL the originally intended music. To prove this to yourself, take a minute to listen to Comfortably Numb, the studio version to experience the difference and then I think you will have found another band to do a deep dive on like Rush.

Oh I like it was very Laid and Melo had to feel it out first but it was good 😊

Yet another eargasm brought to you by David Gilmour.
