I am leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece 😍

I am 72 years old and I would like to thank God for giving David Gilmore This gift.. Turns out it was a gift for all of us for all time✌️✌️✌️

No tattoos. No long greasy hair. Just an old man that can play a guitar that will touch your soul. Oh how I wish I had a Time Machine.

Earth is billions of years old, and we are fortunate enough to be on it at the exact time as David. 😎❤️

I'm 75. I've listened to this song a million times, and it never gets old. Thanks Dave.

I still listen to this after smoking a fat boy. I'm 73 and feel sorry for the youth of the world for not being around to witness some the best music that has ever been produced. Thank you David Gilmour

There are good guitarists, there are excellent guitarists and then there is David Gilmour

Gilmour is class. No bull , no gimmicks, just put on an old t shirt and a pair of jeans and heres the music. Legend.

I'm 68, my son bought us tickets to David's world simulcast of this Pompeii concert. We watched it together at the cinema, my son became a Floyd & David convert instantly. He still talks about this solo. Thanks David for bringing new generations to your music.

All the older folks in this comment section, 33 year old here who unfortunately only discovered Pink Floyd about 2 years ago. And I can't believe how much a part of my personality their music has become. I'll make sure to pass this down to my generations, Pink Floyd will never ever die!

I don't care what anyone says: There is no better guitarist, singer, songwriter alive today. There are better singers. There are more talented guitarists, and better songwriters. But there is nobody else who puts it all together in one package, and who throws his heart and soul into his music, as Gilmour.

Propably the greatest solo of all time

He is one of the few guitarists you can immediately recognize by the sound and style of playing. Wish you many happy years, David

There isn't wine on this earth that ages better than this man's guitar playing. Always a legend, will never be another like him.

That drummer knows how special this moment is and realises people will be watching this in 100 years . Wow what a moment in time .

Never grows old, thanks Dave …. Superb!

The thing I love about DavidGilmore, is that he is so cool with his ability and status. He looks like he’s just popped out to the shops on a Wednesday night. What a beautiful humble man. I remember rushing to the music store (as much as you could on public transport) to buy Dark Side of the Moon, and coming back and playing it over and over, what an absolute mind blowing era. If feel so fortunate to have grown up with this kind of musical influence. It has affected my life in immeasurable ways, still does!

What I like about Gilmore is that he plays with such great feeling.... holds onto notes and makes them sound incredible!!!! ....instead of trying to see how many notes he can squeeze in a measure!

A 4 minute guitar solo that keeps you listening the entire time and is not repetitive. Wow.

Only two words. The Best. Nothing else.

I am 70..we are the luckiest generation to vitmessed the greatnes of these musicians..gives me chills down to my spine every time i listen to him and pink floyd still do..

Thank you David for giving me goosebumps and tears for all these years. What a gift you have given to us all.

It sends shivers down my spine ! Brilliant! Us old timers have definitely had the best music 🎶

The Best Bending guitarist of the Planets

David is one of the few guitarists that cuts to the heart when he plays. Everyone ‘feels’ what he’s playing.

Definitely one of the best lead guitarists of ALL time……..plus he has a great voice!

The best music I ever, ever, ever heard

The tone this man has achieved is unbelievable. Look at how casually he plays and makes the guitar sound the way it does. Truly unbelievable.

Every guitar wishes it will get a David Gilmour for its birthday. Absolute legend. There is no one better. No matter how many times I hear this solo, it brings a tear to my eyes and sends shivers down my spine. That is the power of music at its absolute best.

Live at Pompeii! One of the greatest performances of all time.

David’s solos are tasteful. Soulful. No speed slow bluesy at time. He makes his Strat scream the perfect notes.

Everyone needs music in their life. It brings me tremendous joy. Performances like this one are a wonderful example. Thank you, David.

I’m 73 and after I saw this performance I told my brother this is the best Comfortably Numb solo David ever did. I went and listened to all the others he did in the past, starting with The Wall and all the other tours that came after that, and this is the best!

The guitar has nothing left to give! This is his best solo in Pompeii…. Absolutely perfect!

David Gilmour est pour moi le plus grand guitariste du monde, on sent bien qu'il ne fait qu'un avec sa guitare, merci beaucoup monsieur Gilmour pour tout le plaisir que vous apportez à nos oreilles, depuis toutes ces années.👍😉👌😎🐼😜😁

i stopped my timed test in order to listen, i got chills and my eyes watered

I'm 43. I'm listening too Pink Floyd when a had a pamper on. When we went on holiday near the french riviera in my fathers Nissan Datsun whit a blower on the dashboard for the heat (no airco) whe listen too Pink Floyd every day,every minute,every second. At the end we driving too Geneva for the last 3 days and at the River there was a filmfestival. Strenge enough the security was very bad and we lookt ad the nice cars for the door and suddenly comes one guy top a car and it was David Gilmore. My father was in shock and my sister (8jaar) waves too David and he comes too us asking for a smoke. My father gives hem a sigaret and Davids stands at least 10 minuten whit us and he talks whit my dad about the nice weather and stuff. We take some pictures whit David and he signes my fathers t shirt of Pink Floyd and since that vacation the t shirt is hanging at the wall in my fathers bedroom.

I`m 64 . Pink Floyd forever, David is one of the best guitarist

That solo leaves you absolutely breathless.

I am 66 years and this is the benchmark. Thx God that I‘ve got it on the holy vinyl copy from 95 😀😀😀😀😀

On that night the whole city was comfortably numb ❤

Incredible performance - you can tell that everyone on stage (including Gilmore himself) knew something special was happening …

In his own way, one of the greatest guitarists ever! No lick is without taste and feeling. We are privileged to have Gilmore!! Love his playing!! 🎸🙏

I'm 65 and have been a David Gilmour fans since the beginning - the man is a genius. If I ever need a pick me up - I just turn on David. . .

I have been listening to Pink Floyd since 70 and never get tired of them and his solo on the PULSE album gives me goose bumps and still bring a tear to my eyes after all these years

for every 50 notes that ANY other guitarist uses, david gilmour uses 1 or 2, and still achieves the same if not MORE feel and emotion; the greatest living guitarist hands down.

Ever so often certain people are born with a talent that's only matched by others with this special gift, Dave Gilmour is one of these people. These people will be remembered forever, and set as benchmarks.

Simply Timeless, it’s intoxicating to listen to such a master.

Best solo all time on this planet ,,,thank you David gilmour for this Amazing solo ,,,love love love ,,

This man is God of the guitar. This solo will stay forever its beyond words really. I have tried to play it on my homemade black strat but at 65 the fingers are arthritic and Im a crap guitarist. Thank you Dave Gilmour for this unique mind blowing solo it will go down in history no one can ever repeat it the way you do❤️❤️❤️❤️

Astonishing virtuoso performance. Yes, thank you Mr. Gilmore.

Of course it's comfortably numb. People can write books about how great this solo is and how a group that grew up from beginners to professionals just got better and better each album. It just kills me parts of it are so simple you are like 'duh' of course you would do that. It sounds amazing, why not. But yet no one else has a solo that even compares to this. His sustains and voicing are just the best.

Tears flowed the night I witnessed this magic at the Albert hall . To long lost friends❤

What I like most is how happy everyone is to play and how they smile. Great atmosphere not only in the audience but also on stage!

*This guy is a sacred rock monster.* *Have a long life David!*

Genius doesn't quite cut it. Definitely the best guitar solo I've ever heard. Rock on Dave you are iconic. ❤

A man with hands like a builder manages to produce the best guitar solo ever, he makes that Strat sing like an angel. The Guvnor, happy birthday

David plays so cleanly and precisely, he makes it look so easy!

One of the top guitar solos of all time. It brings chills.

This is proof there is a heaven, where else could this perfect soul have come from!

The enormity of this song cannot be justified in words. It can only be felt in the soul

David played for the angels. A true master. It takes a lifetime to become a master and Gilmour did it. Proud of a fellow human

I have seen this drummer in numerous PF videos throughout the years and I love him. My golly the look of happiness on his face that he got chosen to play for them and has been privileged to partake in some of the best music concerts in human history. WOW!

I've been a Pink Floyd fan since the 60s. I'm 69 years old now and I have to say that there's nobody that is better than David Gilmore today. He's #2 on my list of the greatest guitarists of all time. #1 is Jimmy Hendrix. #3 is Joe Walsh. That's my top 3 of my life.

His best live performance of Comfortably Numb is widely acknowledged as the Pulse concert at Earl's Court in London in 1994. Having watched this video, my opinion hasn't changed.

Not many artists provoke a reaction, an actual physical reaction like goosebumps and emotional feelings, like David Gilmour does to me on a regs. Truly a genius and master of his craft. And seems such a nice genuine guy. Waters might have been the creative force behind PF, but Gilmour translated what was on paper and spoon fed it to the world in a way noone else could. Shame it all ended like it did, but just be thankful that it ever happened in the first place. Shit, what happened to music? From end of the 90s, it died!

This is my favorite rendition of Comfortably Numb by the incomparably talented David Gilmore. I get chills every single time I hear it. He and Carlos Santana have a very unique style that I pick out every time I listen to them.

Best song and guitar solo ever played it brings me to tears every time I hear it, BEAUTIFUL

We all grew up in the best of times- 60’s-70’s-80’s!!! Think about it!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

My Dad was a massive Floyd fan, I grew up on it, so so lucky.....that distinctive sound of Gilmour's guitar is like no other, literally sends shivers down my spine every time. One of the most underrated Guitar players in History- FACT R.I.P. DAD xx

The stars aligned on this night! David is flawless the drummers enthusiasm is off the charts!

72 and bought tears to my eyes it's so good!

50 + years of this man's iconic jamming and his Solo's still amaze me to this day. It will be a dark dark day when this man leaves us🎸👍❤️

It's just freakin' perfect. No other word for it. Every note is what it should be and played without mistake. It's a perfect flawless gem.

Each time Gilmour plays this solo and hits that high note near the end, a supernova occurs, and a galaxy is born!!

Few have Mastery of the guitar. David is one of them.

The raw emotion David wrings out of his Strat is incredible. This is the greatest solo of all time. At the end of the Pink Floyd exhibition at the V&A in London there was a room where they played Comfortably Numb from the Live8 gig on repeat. Wept buckets. I was about 57 then, and this second solo in that song destroys me every time. Bless you, David 🤘🏼

What an Amazing Musician you are Mr Gilmour. Thank you for all these years

He has so much passion. When he plays it seems to talk to you. Amazes me

Every time I see this performance I get lost in time. I drift back all the 60 years I been listening to rock

One of the finest pieces of music ever played! Pure genius. Nothing less. Bravo Sir David! 👏

David Gilmour+ A Stratocaster= Musical sagas that hit you right in the feels!!! Enjoy retirement Mr. Gilmour and thanks for the memories.

Breathless. Breathless when I saw the Wall at the LA forum, breathless when I saw Delicate sound at the Oakland Coliseum and breathless here... It never gets old.

This man .. this incredible musician. This solo. There is NO ONE BETTER with a 6 string in their hand. My all time hero, have been listening to him since I was 14 I'm 57 years old and it's still like the first time when I hear him play these solos. Picked up a guitar myself about 15 years ago and just recently finished learning the solo from the song "time" and plan on learning anything else I possibly can before my last breath. I am so glad he continues creating music. I had a chance to go to the pulse concert when I was about 23 and missed it and it's one of my greatest regrets. Please David never stop. We love you..

the amazing thing about him is that he is basically playing blues pentatonic scales that every kid in the world learns but THE FEEL is just beyond anybody. plus it is the chord music movement underneath the soloing that brings out so much emotion to the song. long live the Floyd

I'm 40 years young and have been listening to Pink Floyd since my age was in single digits. The Comfortably Numb solo still gives me chills and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and I get goosebumps. I think it affects me more now as an adult than it did back then, and I have played this song so many times. And it hits so much harder live.

This man is the absolute greatest to ever live. The way he makes that thing speak is just mind rattling

I'm 72 and lucky to have lived through the era of some of the greatestusic ever recorded and this solo shows just what a brilliant guitarist Gilmour is,never get sick of it

Viva David!! Gracias!! David.

I'll see you this year David. last time I saw you I ditched high school at morning break and drove to Las Angeles from the 805. See you soon brother!

The Master at work, you dont get any better.

Absolutely, Fantastic master David Gilmour. Happy Birthday 06/03/2023...77 years old.

One of THE BEST guitar solos of all time. PERIOD. Truly out of this world !!

Grandkids: _”Can grandpa come over and hang out with us tonight mom?”_ Mom: _”Sorry kids, grandpa is busy performing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.”_

Only in Pompeii, you wouldn’t hear this masterpiece anywhere on this planet!

Absolutely blasting solo! Gilmour's playing is like great wine, getting better with age.

His slide guitar on high hopes will make you want to cry - simply one of the all time greats

I'll turn 69 in less than 4 weeks. Saw Pink Floyd in 1973 Dark Side of The Moon concert still listen to and love Pink Floyd!!!

David does more with one string than most can do with an entire fret board. A true master.

He's the only guitarist I've ever heard who makes his guitar cry which in turn makes this 64 year old man cry, he is a treasure and to me, the very best lead guitarist of all time. Personally I prefer the the lead of this song from Pulse but both were fantastic. Thanks for posting.
