tchaikovsky, beethoven, mozart & rossini etc, would have been in awe of pink floyd if they had seen pink them perform this brilliant piece of work!!!

Indeed, David is very eloquent with a guitar. I'm sure many generations in the future, they will still listen to their beautiful music.

Poly Samson has a very good way with words. And a keen eye of a true artist as well. Her photos of Sir David and the band are so clean and telling!

@@mixmashandtinker3266 pink floyd is often heard being played in heaven!!!

Greatest of all time

Agreed… Master Piece!

Makes me allways cry. Thank you for this Materpiece David ❤

I usually don't think much of all the extra 'junk' Pink and many big bands have going on during the music, but this song this solo this performance this setting fit so well with the lights and effects, I wish I was there!

Perfectly said! Gilmour will always be my 1 pick for best guitarist. His playing is so emotional.

I don’t think there will ever be a better way of putting that!

100%--Nobody should stop and talk about Floyd and It's a crime while in his Solos that some people pause it...If I could get to them thru the screen, I would.

If you felt like your life changed, then it did. Happy for you. Those moments are precious

@@larrysims7235 Indeed they are precious Larry. Very nice comment.

my first concert at the age of 11..... will never forget that night. My all time favourite band, a life changer! So so sorry that we will never experience PF again.

@@patrickmckay6621I was at this gig

The only guitar solo that comes close to this is from Steven Wilson's song Drive Home. It is played by Guthrie Govan, a master guitarist.

It’s true man. It’s true.

1+1=2. So easy it is God bless you,guys Od bless you, David Gilmour.

Music has still a lot of work to do to become Pink Floyd

I love this song, this is my favourite rock song , and I respect your opinion, but are you sure you do not want to hear some of the great music out there that might make you feel as great.

@Pablo Kaufer Vinent if something does beat this song then I will be a blessed man and will be amazed. Bring it on I say

Same here

Same here!

Me too. I also got something in my eye...

Yup.

Don't wear make-up girls when you're listening to this.

B.B. King once said that, sometimes it's in the space between the notes.... If you can crack that.. I think you've got it. Blessings.

Totalmente de acuerdo amigo ♥️

@@elquepasadeti Gracias amigo. Pruebe Gary Moore, Habitaciones vacías.. Vive en Montreaux.

I cried during both solos. I've not seen this performance before, but seen others and loved the solos...but not wept. I dunno what it was this time...😂😊

Right on Brother!!!

"How is less more? Makes no sense. More is more." -Yngwie

@@picklesmcmillan217 .. If you wrote less, it is more for us..😁

@@picklesmcmillan217 Yngwie J Malmsteen. Awesome guitarist who couldn't write a song if his life depended on it!

@@picklesmcmillan217 the ability to play licks and cram a ridiculous amount of notes into a second of time doesn't make it better, unless you are Stevie Ray Vaughan. The thing that Malmsteen and and Vai don't get is that music isn't a race. Go look up my countryman, Tommy Emmanuel, and find a guitarist who can do both, and you'll find Jerry Douglas on your travels. Maybe you'll hate the music, but you'll see some serious craftsmen at work.

Probably? Name a better one. :)

Nicely put, John. I'm like you in the no musical ability but love music place. I've listened to this songs in various versions hundreds of times over the last 44 years, and it has never failed to move me. Prior to "Numb" I never knew a guitar solo could bring tears. It's too bad Gilmour has reached an age where we can't expect much more new music from him, but, thankfully, he and fellow Floyders created such a large catalog we'll never run out of things to re-listen to and learn from. And, despite his lesser likeability quotient, I'm also very grateful to Roger Waters for his inspiration and contributions -- without both David and Roger, PF would never have achieved what they did.

I do have a background in music and I can assure you I feel exactly the same way you do. At the end of the day music is about emotion. And Pink Floyd have always had an amazing ability to draw that emotion from the listener.

He Stretches those strings like no other guitarist I have ever seen. He doesn't need fast fingers to hit deep in my soul.

Pink Floyd is a unique combination of epic, sentiment and emotion. Pink Floyd enters you and frees this bird that was not meant for captivity. A music that, if you let it, will take you on a journey that has no end indefinitely and will bring you to a place where you will find yourself again.

AMEN !!! Cannot be matched! Felt this way when I first heard it back in 79......When I seen pink floyd in 88 and heard it live I WAS BLOWN AWAY!

@@peterchios9637 Bless you, too, brother.

i have heard it said that David Gilmor puts more feeling in the spaces between the notes than most guitar player's fit into three notes

I first saw them in 1972. I hope you and your lady keep on rocking for many years to come.

I would have to agree. Saw them indoors in 1987 and outdoors in '88 on the backend of that same tour. Living in the SF Bay Area, I have been to a lot of concerts in my day, including Bob Marley at the Kaiser Theater in Oakland. Pink Floyd was without question the best group I've ever seen perform live.

me too, I do think people should experience it alone with the eyes closed no other input as we have been lucky to experience originally

I was at Pink Floyd on my 20th birthday - Frankfurt 26.01.1977 !

Yep, just like the lyrics in "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon: "...shorter of breath, and one day closer to death." It just hits you in the feels.

After having cancer and all the treatments and being drugged out of my mind, this song hits me differently at my age. I mean right in the soul.

how about " I was just a boy then , now I'm only a man " from The Final Cut

Agreed!!

Absolutely. It’s like listening to ‘Nessum Dorma’

Blessed indeed!

I was Blessed to grow up near the Spectrum in Philly during the 70's and witnessed many a great show. Anyone who has experienced any of Floyd's shows knows there aren't words. I saw this tour at Mile High in Denver. Blessed is an understatement. Speechless for daze..

You lucky bastard!...

i was there too, 28. Oktober 1994 and 29. Oktober 1994

May 1993 - simply incredible

I'm old too, and different parts of my body hurts. But I belong to the generation growing up with this music, and I don't want to change that.

I feel the same way brother, so glad I was alive to witness it and see them in concert a few times

I'm pissed off at old people ! ...I'm old now too, and those old SOB's before me didn't give me a head's up on everything crapping out as I got in my 60's. Now in my mid-60's, I gotta chase 70-80 year old's on the golf course and they won't tell me anything now either. We're doomed ! But I'm still comfortably numb.

I might not be as old, but, let us not forget Syd Barrett. A Crazy Diamond that helped these Legends come together. He was the Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

His solo at the end of Poles Apart is pretty sweet, too. I really love this song and I'm thankful that as Mr. Gilmour aged, he still sounded GREAT singing his parts of this song. Live 8 blew me away. I had tears in my eyes.

I'm the same age,so I know where your at and I agree with you 100% pink floyd where on another level every member of the band where masters at they're craft,,perfect...😮😮...

This version, every day when I come home from work. Loud and proud. I'm 36 but I will keep it going until I am 156.

Thank God this show was performed well before smartphones existed. It would be such a shame & a tragedy if everyone who was lucky enough to be there for that moment was obsessively trying to capture the magic & staring at their screens instead of simply being fully present in the moment and in total awe of what they were witnessing & feeling inside. One of the top greatest performances of all time

I was there and you are 100% correct. I was totally mesmerised from start to finish, just blown away and lost in an experience that I doubt will ever be equalled in my lifetime.

Like I have said my entire lifecre PF they do not create a concert they ceeate an environment

Remember when people enjoyed music without having to film it needing a music video? I do. Kids under 20 have no clue. If you don't film it, "it didn't happen", so they look at their screen rather than enjoying the music like they should.

@@benjaminz2523 Why thank a fantasy figure for something that human's had not done yet? That's weird.

With all due respect,but seems to me that every long time Floyd admirer(I included, of course)wanna delete Roger Waters due to his tyrant behavior before The Wall!Or for sure,many people dislike his present ideology (me excluded)! But I say,if Lennon needed McCartney & vice versa,Roger needed Dave(& late Rick🙌🙏) ten times more & vice versa! I've always preferred Dave's esthetics & Roger's thought process! That combination made Pink Floyd greatest band ever(in my humble opinion).But those two have been in beef since late 70's & now they are even more distanced cause of war in Ukraine! I'm afraid that they'll pass without burring the hatchet! Sorry if I bored you, but that could possibly be real life Eclipse (btw,best tune that Roger was ever singing/Braindamadge🌚🙌🙏

@@josiplilic3384 At his core, Roger is a tortured poet. Great lyricist but an ass of a man. It takes nothing away from his lyrical genius but I am glad he's not in the band anymore . What he did to Richard Wright is unforgivable IMHO.

@@coolcat8b agree 💯 about Rick!!! Although I'm leaning left & agnostic,I have philosophy that everyone aside murderers,rapists, pedophiles & their protectors does deserve forgivnes if one showed remorse for the "past sins"(using quotation marks, cause I sound like a priest🙄😯😝🤣). Idk..I was following Roger recently & although he was showing signs of ego trips from past,his ideology is close to mine & he's been friendly with my beloved & favorite living intelectual,dr Cornel West! So at least, he's a half decent ass(in my book)! I just can't stand him singing Wish You Were Here 🤣 🤣🤣

@@coolcat8b one more quick point, you can't deduce Roger just to writing lyrics! He was least talented musician of them all,but he had gift of conceptualing,DSOTM for example,to perfection! Why do I feel like his lawyer now?

@@josiplilic3384 I did not see that coming : Scott Ritter talks about Roger Waters' music and war [ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bq2RdNVqtru2fJs.html ]

When I was younger I appreciated the music, but as time passed I really come to appreciate it more bc with the trash and now AI crap and autotune you won't get this kind of music again. The solo goes through you, gets the heart going, adrenaline rushing. The best ever done

Only one that comes close is Mark Knopfler....

@@JM_daDoc Knopfler is another prime example, yes. Very valid. Still...so very few. Sad in a way, but at least we have these few examples to point to. Would be far sadder had we none.

@@KozmikZootz Knopfler and Gilmour stand out for me also. Plus Ry Cooder. I know what I'd be taking to that desert island!

Gilmore understands the power of timing and allowing a note to decay, to fade, to be that perfect moment. He is not the fastest on the strings, he doesn't power cord. He is just brilliant and lets the guitar shine to be the mirror on his soul and inner being.

My sister passed away suddenly in January 2022, and Comfortably Numb was played at her funeral. Weirdly a few days earlier, when I was driving over to help with arranging things for her service, this track came on my cd player just as I was passing by her house!

I've always told my ppl, when i leave this place, i wanna go out with his song!

you are not alone !!!

☝☝️thanks for watching I've Prize for You 🎁🎉🎀 Note:Nicegram📥❤

David knows when and how to NOT play a guitar. In other words, he has mastered the art of just letting a note sing, letting that pause between notes linger to make you anxious in that split second, yearning for the release of that next note that you know is coming. He can hit you with a flurry that just about knocks you out of your seat and then pull back on the reigns, leaving you stunned into awe. Truly a master of his instrument and I wish more guitarists would learn that you don't always have to be hitting the strings as fast as your fingers are capable. His finesse and feel for the instrument is breath taking. As I say, he is a master of knowing when and how to NOT play the guitar!

@@tattoodude8946 Agree. I grew up listening to Be Bop in the early 70’s. When the shredders came along in the eighties it was difficult for me to appreciate their playing as I didn’t hear great ideas, just fast playing.

Hard to argue, even if I prefer his work on Dogs the most.

Wonderfully explained.

автор музыки и стихов Роджер Уотерс! Гилмор только соло на гитаре. да великолепное соло. НО! Почему ни слова о Роддере?

Indeed,it is quite bittersweet listening to that masterpiece. Between SRV and David...weve listened and been blessed to bear witness.

Yeah, there were the trippy mini movies, the light effects, the crazy teacher, the crazier pigs, the airplane, the vapors floating around... it's a miracle there were no casualties (other than the bleachers falling at one show - if memory serves.)

I was there too - I took my son and the show was amazing, we didn't want it to end, but with an ending like that - it was truly a whole body experience. That track alone demonstrates the power of top-notch rock music and PF are the best at it. People will still be playing that track 100 years from now. I hope!

Actually, The Wall was released 43 years ago

They where not ahead of time. They where the pinnacle.

Me too, my 4 times were 75, 77, 87 & 94, best shows of my life.

Hell yeah! Saw them twice, in NYC Long island, 1988 and then in NJ 1989, East Rotheford Complex when the "Momentary Lapse of reason" album came out then when the Delicate sound of Thunder came out, will never forget those concerts, nothing like it to this day.

@@marcoss6212 Yep, same here in Oakland, California. When I left, I was literally in a daze. Maslow, who created the concept of "peak experiences" ...this was definitely one of them.

I was in Earls Court in '94, totally amazing show, and still brings back the chills when I watch others see this for the first time.

I couldn't agree more. It's always so satisfying to see a younger generation appreciate the talent of the past the way so. At the same time you can't be jealous of someone else hearing it for the first time. It's an experience we all wish we could have again.

I think it’s us that should be envious of you. You had the pleasure and the privilege to have grown up with some of the greatest bands to grace the Earth. I was born in the 90s, but I grew up with the Wall album because my dad owned the album.

Hendrix version of, "All Along the Watchtower" still has that effect.

One of These Days, hell, the entire PULSE concert is a masterpiece.

@@tracithomas6543 correct the whole concert is a masterpiece.

@@tracithomas6543 I agree 100% - EVERY song at the Pulse Concert is excellent!

there are several tunes that could go on forever , this is one of them 🙂

Did you see the Pompeji version? It hasn't got so much on the visual level but the older Gilmour feels even more epic to me.

You've just made a 48 year old man ball up!

I was just about to comment on the Leslie speaker before seeing your response. I would like to give kudos to Jannet for her curiosity about a revolving speaker, though. Other reactors have commented that it's just a spinning light, with one going as far to say that it must have been what they used "back in the old days" before strobe lights were invented -- but after laser beams and disco balls?!

@@islandseeker1260 . Hey thanks for the comment! I'm sure the special effects team were happy to utilise another lighting angle as a bonus though. Keep well and all the best.

☝☝☝️thanks for watching I've Prize for You 🎁🎉🎀 Note:Nicegram📥❤🎊🎊

The “classic” Leslie speaker design features two drivers-a treble driver with horns (only one works; the other simply acts as a counter-weight) and a bass driver. The horns of the treble driver and the sound baffle of the bass driver are physically rotated by electric motors.

David Gilmore is such a brilliant guitarist's ,it's truly an awesome guitarists ,makes the hair stand on your back every time I hear his guitar
