nearly 40 years after my first heard this song it is amazing what is to people listen to it now ... There is no explanation for art, only a way of seeing it.
The amount of emotion David is able to put in his playing is beyond anything I have ever heard in my life. I have heard this performance many times, but every time it tears open all the scars of my soul, and makes a grown man cry like a baby.
David Gilmours guitar tells the story. Between the singing and the solos, you'll never hear anyone play with such emotions as the way Gilmour can play.
Sono completamente d accordo con te ......dopo 35 anni che ascolto questo capolavoro assoluto , lelacrime mi scendono ancora. Lo Zio David è INARRIVABILE in quanto ad emozioni pure e poi c è il suo amico fraterno , purtroppo scomparso , RICHARD .......Sono dei MARZIANI ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! You get it! Crying is the proper reaction to this for anyone with a soul my sister. Much love and respect from deep in the heart of Texas from just a simple middle aged white guy ❤
Thats is what music is supposed to make you feel like. Pink floyd's music is more than music its an experience. They pull you into the song and take you on a journey then bring you back feeling better .
You have just witnessed the eighth wonder of the world, the greatest guitar solo ever. I don't think I have ever seen anybody not well up after hearing this, so emotional 😭😂
When you get THAT kind of emotional reaction from watching the band on a small screen and through headphones, IMAGINE what it was like to be THERE that night!! Surrounded by the amazing clarity of the sound. . . Sound that can punch you in the chest and make your bones vibrate. . Along with thousands and thousands of people around you, and they are all TRANSPORTED by the music, the same as you are. . . The lights. . the movement. . . Overloading all your senses. . . GLORIOUS! It would have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would have been amazing. . Some guitarists can play a milion notes a minute and are fantastic. . David Gilmour can play ONE note and creep into your soul with it. . .
Pink Floyd is the name of the band, it is not a person. The lead singer and amazing guitarist is David Gilmour, considered by many to be one of the best to ever pick up the instrument. Floyd is known for their amazing compositions, deep philosophical lyrics, and brilliant musicianship. Check out the studio version of "Time" by them next. Great reaction!!
I heard after Dark Side of The Moon came out. A record executive had a meeting with them and asked. Which ones Pink? They even used that in one if their songs.
Pink Floyd is actually two people. I don't remember what the rest of their names are. But part of one guys name is Pink and the one is Floyd. I believe they were both Blues players.
@@geoffreysmommy I was referring to the members of the band on stage, not the inspiration for their name. Yes, Pink Floyd got their name from Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, two old time Southern black blues players from the 30s and 40s. Probably Syd Barrett's most important contribution to the band.
@@geoffreysmommythat moment has been memorialized in the song "Have a Cigar" from the "Wish You Were Here" album. The line, and the song, is a sarcastic swipe at greedy record executives as a whole who's in it purely for the money, knowing little else about the band or their music. Whether or not it actually happened is not clear, but I'm sure somewhere at some point it probably did.
50 years ago Pink Floyd were already 200 years ahead of everybody! I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
Pink Floyd is not music you listen to. You experience it with your whole brain and body. Welcome to the machine. You really want to experience Pink Floyd, watch the full concert and you will not be disappointed. Loved your reaction to your experience.
Pink Floyd was named after the co-founders favorite blues artists, PINK ANDERSON and FLOYD COUNCIL. Congratulations on finding this diamond of a band. Their album library is vast and they will take you places you've never been over and over and over. I have been a huge PINK FLOYD AND (guitarist vocalist) DAVID GILMOUR fan for 50 years.
Congratulations you have heard what many people consider one of the best guitar solos ever played. You are just beginning your Pink Floyd journey. It’s a crazy rabbit hole. Must listens are High Hopes, Great Gig in The Sky, and Sorrow among others .
You can hear music and you can hear Pink Floyd. If you hear Pink Floyd you hear music on a higher Level. It’s a out of body experience. There are so many Songs you must hear. Sorrow, Coming back to life, The great gig in the sky, On the turning away. All this Songs from the Pulse Album. If you want to hear David Gilmour on Saxophon 🎷 you must hear Red sky at night from the Album Live in Gdansk
Although I saw this concert two evenings in a row at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal in 1994, although I have heard this song and seen this video hundreds of times subsequently, this song still manages to give me chills. I also suggest: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019 - RUclips
I saw this too in Montreal in 1994. After the concert, i knew i would never see something like that again in my life! And 30 years later, i know i was right! i suggest ''High Hopes'' from Pulse concert
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.
If Dave Gilmour's guitar doesn't make you cry, you have no soul You should react to "on The Turning Away", it breaks my heart every time Lovely reaction❤❤
Welcome Cead...I've been a fan of Pink Floyd since my 16th birthday, and I'm 66 - LOL. You are in the presence of Gods. Led Zeppelin, the Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn and The Beatles. Those are the the Gods and good on you that they touch you. Now, about your voice...OMG. Where are you from???? Listen to Pink Floyd live in Pompeii, it will touch you. Mike in the 505 - 🙂
Truly great music reaches past your ears and into your soul. We've lost a lot of that in the past few decades, but it's so wonderful to see more people rediscover it. Love to you!
You just heard the two best greatest guitar solos ever!!! I still get emotional hearing this song. Try listening to "On Turning Away." That song changed my life.
If you liked this, watch the song after Run like Hell. These were the finale songs for the Pulse concert tour.. Run like hell is quite a bit more upbeat.
That thick, powerful bass line, with Gilmour's "treble-y" notes dancing on top of them, makes a masterful composition. Layers of sound through which a listener's mind can dive and cavort or simply float through; choose to stay on the surface or slowly sink into the lowest bass notes or soar to the highest note David can play.
The name comes from 2 managers pinkney (pink) anderson and floyd council, david Gilmore is the singer and lead guitar, check out a song called time, and the whole album, Dark side of the moon,
If you’ve heard Pink Floyd for the first time you have a long ride to come, there are so many more tracks from Pink Floyd that are all different dragging up so many emotions ! There are even strange ones, you must listen to “The Great Gig In The Sky” it’s a story of a woman without words just her voice. Happy New Year
This is a sad song on so many levels. It makes me sad too. Another one of their songs that makes me sad is "Mother." Wish you were here and Time are also sad songs.
Outstandingly played and constructed solos. The song itself is about a person falling into a coma after taking a heroin overdose (just a little pinprick, there is no pain you are receding, I have become comfortably numb).
The band is called Pink Floyd - not the person. They've been around in various iterations since the late 1960s. Yes, more than one person can and does sing (not sure why you were asking that) but nobody else can play the guitar like David Gilmour. BTW Why are so many female reactors using the same video title - 'Girl Breaks Down'?
Listen to the problems, listen the pain, listen the desperation, listen to it all when Davids guitar tells it all, there's nothing more between earth and heaven
As stated below, Pink Floyd is the name of the group. Pink is a character in the rock-opera called The Wall. This song is from that opera. The Wall tells the tale of an aging, drug-addled rocker (Pink) and the proverbial "wall" than he has built around himself due to his life experiences. In this song, Pink is being administered a shot (just a little pin prick) from a doctor to "get his through the show". The chorus is singing the lines of the doctor, and David Gilmore is singing the lines of Pink. You are correct, many believe this is the best solo ever. I recommend you check out their first album, Dark Side of the Moon, and specifically Great Gig in the Sky. If you aren't moved by that performance--you have no soul.
@@hognaut Do you agree that she should check that song out, or are you too busy trolling to have a discussion. Yes, it wasn't their first, but it was my first Pink Floyd album. I bet you were a hall monitor as a kid.
my 2 favorite bands from the '70s are Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons Project. 2 bands way ahead of their time. Alan Parson has 2 exquisite albums you need to experience. 1. Edgar Alan Poe-Tales of Mystery and Imagination. 2. I Robot. Fantastic tracks on both.
First time checking your channel. Loved the reaction! Since you liked this song by Pink Floyd... You should check out 'Time/Great Gig in the Sky' off their album 'Dark Side of the Moon' (Even if you have to break it up into two videos) In the song 'Time' David Gilmore has another great solo. In the song 'Great Gig in the Sky' (The two songs flow from one right into the other) Pink Floyd brought in a studio singer to put down some vocal tracks. Originally they were going to find a different singer and just use studio singers vocal tracks as a guide... But she did such an amazing job that they put her on the album. (At the time she was completely unknown) She didn't even know until she heard herself on the radio.
If you want a song that is the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding Death. Pink Floyd "The Great Gig in the Sky" the Pulse Concert performance is pretty good 😉
@@CeadReacts There is no shame in showing your emotions, whether through smiling or crying. Because those who feel no emotions are called “psychopaths”.
some guitarists 'shred' and use the whole neck and hundreds of notes... Gilmour uses one note, in the right place, at the right time. His solos are part of the song, rather than a showcase for his ability, the fact he doesn't 'flash it up' his playing becomes an emotional journey. And yet? He is a guitar playing master!!
I keep coming back to this video to watch new and wonderful reactions from people new to PF. Not bad for guys in their 40s, eh, Cead? Consider yourself a permanent part of the Pink Floyd rabbit hole...🙂
Thousands stand in silent communion, linked by the sounds and lights, on a journey of the soul, taking them up and away for a brief glimpse of heaven and nirvana before slowly descending back to earth..... I cannot ever explain to you what this song means to me.... just listen and be taken away....
@skwervin1 I do hope you had an opportunity to see them perform this live. I did more than once and I can say of all the concerts I've seen, nothing comes close to Pink Floyd
@donpardo2510 Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see them live. My now ex-husband was NOT a fan and would block somehow any opportunity for me to see them. Now divorced, they don't tour together, but if David Gilmore ever gets out to Australia again, I will be there!
They are more than a concert. They are an experience. I saw them once, + they were better than every other concert combined. They could put the drug cartels out of business. There is nothing a cartel could offer that would surpass the Pink Floyd experience.
You’ve officially been “Floyded”; welcome to Floyd fandom! Some useful background info on PF: most of their albums were designed to be listened to in one sitting. So you’ll notice the studio album versions of their songs all flow from one to the next, with no “breaks” between songs. The line-up for first few albums included Syd Barrett on lead guitar. Unfortunately, Syd suffered from mental illness, made worse by his use of psychedelic drugs. He became erratic, and eventually the band was forced to replace him. David Gilmour was brought in, and the rest is, as they say, history. But the band, and Syd, and David were all close friends, and Syd’s slow disintegration before their eyes hit the band pretty hard. I mention all this because after Syd’s departure and David Gilmour’s arrival, Pink Floyd produced four albums that were incredibly successful, and they include themes of rejection, mental health, depression, and much of the underlying angst stemmed from the kinds of issues Syd faced. The albums, in order, are “The Dark Side Of The Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, and their double-album “The Wall”, where “Comfortably Numb” comes from. ‘Dark Side’ is legendary; it remained on Billboard Magazine’s Hot 200 Albums list for more than NINE HUNDRED WEEKS. The title track on “Wish You Were Here” was written primarily by then-bassist Roger Waters to his vanished friend Syd. It’s emotional, and worth a reaction. So is “Time”, from ‘Dark Side’. “Comfortably Numb” details a pivotal moment in the story of the fictional character, Pink Floyd. By this point in the story of “The Wall”, Pink has become successful. But he hates his life, so to escape it, he turns to drugs. One night he’s too stoned to perform. “comfortably Numb” is a conversation between a local doctor who the greedy promoter called to get Pink ‘sober’ enough to play, so they don’t have to give refunds, and Pink. Gilmour’s first solo is while Pink is stoned; it’s soaring and blissful and beautiful. But his second solo is after the shot (“Just a little pin-prick”) has kicked in, when he’s been forced to sober up and face the life he hates. Gilmour’s guitar perfectly expresses Pink’s emotions, his loneliness, his self-loathing, his misery. That second solo is considered one of the best solos in rock music. The P*U*L*S*E Concert was a truly spectacular show. Virtually every song they performed there is worthy of listening to; the performances that night are pretty uniformly incredible. Floyd was widely known for their stage presence and light shows, and on this tour, which turned out to be their last, they blew out all the stops. If you watch any other songs from the concert (like “High Hopes”) you’ll see. And you should. Thank you for this reaction.
If you’re looking for more, you’re in luck. “Comfortably Numb” is just one part of an entire experience that may be the single greatest Rock concert ever assembled. And, the entire “PULSE” concert was beautifully captured for posterity. You can find the whole legendary thing here on RUclips, as well as the individual pieces, and an evening of being awed and swept away by it is definitely a must. Welcome to the cosmic greatness of “Pink Floyd”. 🪐
I suggest you react to the entire albums Dark side of the moon and Wish you were here one song at a time. You have just opened the door, now walk through it.
The entire album is a concept album about a man named Pink. It follows most of his entire life from his birth, his decent into madness after repeated traumas, his self induced isolation (the wall), and his eventual recovery when he breaks free of his emotional traumas and escapes his isolation. This song, per the album, is a back and forth dialog between the character Pink and a doctor who is trying to give him a counteracting drug to help him perform a show. The first verse is the doctor, the second verse is Pink, and so on. Pink is telling the doctor that he is not actually in pain but is instead numb. After the doctor injects him, Pink tells the doctor about how he remembers feeling similar when he was sick as a child. The character Pink is largely inspired by both Sid and Roger. Pink is heavily affected by the death of his father in WW2, which is similar to Roger Waters losing his own father in WW2. Sid was drugged prior to a show to keep him alert. Roger had a similar experience as a child, which he describes as how he fwkr like his hands were like balloons. The entire first CD of this album follows Pinks life from a baby to a child to a teenager, through his divorce, and his decent into madness. It's a truly remarkable album and the entire thing tells a very emotional story. This song is absolutely mind blowing.
There is no one person in Pink Floyd it's a band. I met Roger Watters (original singer) and Sid passed recently in a village near me in Cambridge. There music is timeless
If you want true emotion in music [vocals] try Great Gig in the Sky [studio version] by Pink Floyd. Take it from a 65 year old white from the states, this song will grab you by the heart and not let go. Enjoy.
nearly 40 years after my first heard this song it is amazing what is to people listen to it now ... There is no explanation for art, only a way of seeing it.

Agreed. It's been the same since David played his first note with the band. Rest in peace Syd Barrett.❤

It was indeed an experience, I felt that!
this will be the classical music of 100 years in the future!
Richard Wright looking at the camera and smiling during the second Chorus makes me smile every time.
You have just witnessed the eighth wonder of the world, the greatest guitar solo ever. I don't think I have ever seen anybody not well up after hearing this, so emotional 😭😂

Along with thousands and thousands of people around you, and they are all TRANSPORTED by the music, the same as you are. . .
The lights. . the movement. . . Overloading all your senses. . . GLORIOUS!
It would have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would have been amazing. .

To hear it live in concert in 94 was mind blowing. 🤯
@@Damien_D1977 i was at that Concert too. I saw Pink Floyd 1988 in Dortmund, and 1989 and 1994 Openair in Cologne
wat a solo

I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971

Loved the emotion as well 👍🏻

Watch everything else from this concert (Pulse).......you will be amazed!

For me, this is the greatest live performance of all time.
Yep, all of the above, it takes you on a journey.. Enjoy
The Best ! at no time did his fingers leave his hand.
Pink Floyd is a true life experience . ❤
Welcome to the experience of Pink Floyd.
I had the privilege to see this show open air in Germany in 1994. Unforgettable!
Great, you really feel the magic in David Gilmour's music. For me Is the best guitar solo ever.
This is a sad song on so many levels. It makes me sad too. Another one of their songs that makes me sad is "Mother." Wish you were here and Time are also sad songs.
Great Reaction!
In Heaven, this solo will play on repeat.
Love your reaction to this killer song, by one of the greatest guitar players ever.
try " great gig in the sky ", if this track bought tears to your eyes, best female vocal ever will tear you up
best band of all times 😎👍🎶🎶
Outstandingly played and constructed solos. The song itself is about a person falling into a coma after taking a heroin overdose (just a little pinprick, there is no pain you are receding, I have become comfortably numb).
I wonder if David Gilmour would be tickled Pink to know that he's the Floyd?!
Pink Floyd is the best of the best!

Comfortably Numb actually raises the level of consciousness, it kinda puts people in touch with each other...if you know what I mean?! 🧡✌️

Welcome,you are now one of us!
You say you don;t know how to desribe this. Might I suggest this: "It is the sound of angels crying."
😩❤️❤️
"By the way which one is Pink?"....... Roger, Richard, Nick and David are Pink Floyd. Welcome in their world!!!!
First time checking your channel. Loved the reaction!
Since you liked this song by Pink Floyd... You should check out 'Time/Great Gig in the Sky' off their album 'Dark Side of the Moon' (Even if you have to break it up into two videos)
In the song 'Time' David Gilmore has another great solo.
In the song 'Great Gig in the Sky' (The two songs flow from one right into the other)
Pink Floyd brought in a studio singer to put down some vocal tracks. Originally they were going to find a different singer and just use studio singers vocal tracks as a guide... But she did such an amazing job that they put her on the album. (At the time she was completely unknown)
She didn't even know until she heard herself on the radio.
If you want a song that is the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding Death.
Pink Floyd "The Great Gig in the Sky" the Pulse Concert performance is pretty good 😉
I don’t want to cry😅🥹🥹
@@CeadReacts There is no shame in showing your emotions, whether through smiling or crying.
Because those who feel no emotions are called “psychopaths”.
This extraordinary performance is 'Beyond Thunderdome' as Tina Turner might say!
You will always remember where you were the first time hearing this for the rest of your life
When i got this album i listen to it for hours... Its somewhat autobiographical ❤
If you loved that, you also need to watch „High hopes“ from the same concert!
some guitarists 'shred' and use the whole neck and hundreds of notes... Gilmour uses one note, in the right place, at the right time. His solos are part of the song, rather than a showcase for his ability, the fact he doesn't 'flash it up' his playing becomes an emotional journey. And yet? He is a guitar playing master!!

They are more than a concert. They are an experience. I saw them once, + they were better than every other concert combined. They could put the drug cartels out of business. There is nothing a cartel could offer that would surpass the Pink Floyd experience.
You must react to " on the turning away" by pink Floyd, you will cry.
You can almost hear him speak thru his guitar
Another to check out. Stevie Ray Vaughan. Texas Flood. Live at the El Mocambo.
You’ve officially been “Floyded”; welcome to Floyd fandom!
Some useful background info on PF: most of their albums were designed to be listened to in one sitting. So you’ll notice the studio album versions of their songs all flow from one to the next, with no “breaks” between songs.
The line-up for first few albums included Syd Barrett on lead guitar. Unfortunately, Syd suffered from mental illness, made worse by his use of psychedelic drugs. He became erratic, and eventually the band was forced to replace him. David Gilmour was brought in, and the rest is, as they say, history. But the band, and Syd, and David were all close friends, and Syd’s slow disintegration before their eyes hit the band pretty hard.
I mention all this because after Syd’s departure and David Gilmour’s arrival, Pink Floyd produced four albums that were incredibly successful, and they include themes of rejection, mental health, depression, and much of the underlying angst stemmed from the kinds of issues Syd faced. The albums, in order, are “The Dark Side Of The Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, and their double-album “The Wall”, where “Comfortably Numb” comes from. ‘Dark Side’ is legendary; it remained on Billboard Magazine’s Hot 200 Albums list for more than NINE HUNDRED WEEKS. The title track on “Wish You Were Here” was written primarily by then-bassist Roger Waters to his vanished friend Syd. It’s emotional, and worth a reaction. So is “Time”, from ‘Dark Side’.
“Comfortably Numb” details a pivotal moment in the story of the fictional character, Pink Floyd. By this point in the story of “The Wall”, Pink has become successful. But he hates his life, so to escape it, he turns to drugs. One night he’s too stoned to perform. “comfortably Numb” is a conversation between a local doctor who the greedy promoter called to get Pink ‘sober’ enough to play, so they don’t have to give refunds, and Pink. Gilmour’s first solo is while Pink is stoned; it’s soaring and blissful and beautiful. But his second solo is after the shot (“Just a little pin-prick”) has kicked in, when he’s been forced to sober up and face the life he hates. Gilmour’s guitar perfectly expresses Pink’s emotions, his loneliness, his self-loathing, his misery. That second solo is considered one of the best solos in rock music.
The P*U*L*S*E Concert was a truly spectacular show. Virtually every song they performed there is worthy of listening to; the performances that night are pretty uniformly incredible. Floyd was widely known for their stage presence and light shows, and on this tour, which turned out to be their last, they blew out all the stops. If you watch any other songs from the concert (like “High Hopes”) you’ll see. And you should. Thank you for this reaction.
Oh wow! Thank you for your comment
No shame in those tears. I get like that when I listen to this song.
She is gonna need a whole box of tissues for "wish you were here"
If you’re looking for more, you’re in luck. “Comfortably Numb” is just one part of an entire experience that may be the single greatest Rock concert ever assembled. And, the entire “PULSE” concert was beautifully captured for posterity.
You can find the whole legendary thing here on RUclips, as well as the individual pieces, and an evening of being awed and swept away by it is definitely a must.
Welcome to the cosmic greatness of “Pink Floyd”. 🪐
congratulations, you are not a robot.

I suggest you react to the entire albums Dark side of the moon and Wish you were here one song at a time. You have just opened the door, now walk through it.
You have been Pink Floyded my friend..
Its part of a double album set
Mind blowing right ? Dont even try to listen that while on acids, or you'l be on a trip that will change your life forever. 😂😂 Too damn good.
The entire album is a concept album about a man named Pink. It follows most of his entire life from his birth, his decent into madness after repeated traumas, his self induced isolation (the wall), and his eventual recovery when he breaks free of his emotional traumas and escapes his isolation. This song, per the album, is a back and forth dialog between the character Pink and a doctor who is trying to give him a counteracting drug to help him perform a show. The first verse is the doctor, the second verse is Pink, and so on. Pink is telling the doctor that he is not actually in pain but is instead numb. After the doctor injects him, Pink tells the doctor about how he remembers feeling similar when he was sick as a child. The character Pink is largely inspired by both Sid and Roger. Pink is heavily affected by the death of his father in WW2, which is similar to Roger Waters losing his own father in WW2. Sid was drugged prior to a show to keep him alert. Roger had a similar experience as a child, which he describes as how he fwkr like his hands were like balloons. The entire first CD of this album follows Pinks life from a baby to a child to a teenager, through his divorce, and his decent into madness. It's a truly remarkable album and the entire thing tells a very emotional story. This song is absolutely mind blowing.
There is no one person in Pink Floyd it's a band. I met Roger Watters (original singer) and Sid passed recently in a village near me in Cambridge. There music is timeless
If you want true emotion in music [vocals] try Great Gig in the Sky [studio version] by Pink Floyd. Take it from a 65 year old white from the states, this song will grab you by the heart and not let go. Enjoy.
Guitars wake up on Christmas morning hoping they will get David Gilmore!
Então veja o show todo , você não vai se arrepender
