Subbed! This is an authentic reaction videos. The woman rarely looked at the concert footage, closed her eyes, looked at us (in the camera) and concentrated on what she was hearing. Other RUclips reaction videos _do not do this._ Her emotional reaction was that of an intelligent, aware human being.
Hi, love :) You know... I love that you pointed out something about me, when you said "concentrated on what she was hearing", because that is exactly right! I have seen a lot of commenters expressing disdain for me, because I close my eyes. They just don't seem to understand that A. This is my reaction and how I react-- or listen to music; B. I am focusing on the music and not the imagery of the video. This IS a review/reaction to the song, after all, right? Thank you. I appreciate you ;) (((hugs))) ♥
@@darylabbott2032 Yeah, but this is a reaction video on RUclips, reacting to the MUSIC, not any visuals on a music video. The original reaction youtubers just listen music. Then the copycat creators arrived, looking for clicks.
@@HalfLifeSistah i certainly am honored to have elicited a "reaction" from you, so to speak! 😀Yes. You are authentic. You _concentrate on the music._ Aside from you, there is a galaxy of charlatans, grifters and scam artists producing "reaction" videos for monetary clicks. They do not have your aptitude for _audial concentration_ because, unlike you, they have no imaginations. _Nor any souls._
@@HalfLifeSistah I appreciate your reaction ay PF music. I cry EVERY time I listen them. Your tears are the best comment to their music. If someone don't get touched in the deep, there's somethings wrong...there's no soul.... Don't worry, close your eyes every time you feel to do it. Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.😊 Bye from Switzerland
As soon as I saw her crying during the chorus, my immediate thought was “Oh, my darling! If you're crying now, you are definitely NOT ready for the guitar solo”.
Same for me even though I've heard the music hundreds of times and this performance a few dozen times -- but somehow, I'm still not ready either. The thing is, the song is a musical combination of knock out punches. No time to recover from the artistic and emotional impact of each section before the next punch comes flying. We are all defenseless to the power!
32 here. When i first saw this, i didn't even know how to react. Every emotion just overloaded in my system. Ended up bawling my eyes out. A friend showed me this, and he cried as much as i did. Something about this is just so powerful. Love it.
Dave Gilmour deservedly gets so much credit for the guitar work, but let's spare a moment for Rick Wright, whose keyboards provide the canvas for Gilmour to paint on. RIP, Rick.
This was the best reaction I have EVER SEEN! To watch someone be touched so profoundly by art is so moving and made me cry as well, and I'm a 57 yr. old man. Don't ever stop feeling deeply!
i always struggle with naming my “best solo of all time” its always between: Stairway to Heaven Hotel California Freebird and Comfortably Numb but then i go listen to all 4 and only one moves me emotionally...
All are jaw droppingly good. They all have gotten non stop rotation since their release, and while I appreciate each song (and remember there are many versions outside the studio take), the only one that can still move this man to tears even after all these years is Comfortably Numb!
With any band, including Pink Floyd, I feel that any live versions are never the best, and that the studio versions are the definitive versions, because technically they are. The live versions always have an difference or imperfection that takes away from what I got from the original track.
@@albertgarcia7488 Beautiful! Yes and it's time folks claim it: It happened to me at my first live opera. (And it was freaking German, so can you imagine my first Rigoletto?) Then, in the same month, because I'd just moved to NY after decades only in the deepest south - Paul Klee and a Bellini of St. Francis are two visual occasions where I damn near fainted. I did cry and had to leave the exhibit because. All poured out. I know. You just wrote two words and I'm babbling. Here's to more like Sista et vous.
Sister, I am English and just turned 70 this year. I grew up in West London in the sixties and the Pink Floyd we’re one of my local bands. By the seventies I thought the beauty of their music was just my imagination playing tricks. But your reaction is proof positive that it was all true. This music was made especially for great souls like you, and will now be your life companions, as they have been mine.
@@HalfLifeSistah wow your raw reaction was nothing short of the essence of your humanity ! Gilmore's second lead solo is just rapturous .. shook my soul when I first heard it 30+ years ago with its bittersweet melancholic glory .... a huge hug from Texas . ❤
Well said man... well said, as it would take a life time to describe how Pink Floyd with a lot of their songs make you feel, you may as well just let their music just take you to the point of no return.
Although I definitely agree with you to an extent, however, some of the most impressive talent and artistry within music will always remain with the greats like Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, etc.
The relevant quotes here are: "Guitars want David Gilmore for Christmas." - Unknown "Leo Fender created the Stratocaster. God created David Gilmore to play it." - Unknown "David Gilmore can do more with one note than most guitar players can do with the entire fretboard." - Dave Mustain, Megadeth
Dio mio quanto hai ragione , lo Zio David è un ANGELO venuto dal cielo per emozionarci con la sua chitarra e la sua voce . LO AMO INCONDIZIONATAMENTE💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
When she started crying during the chorus I was thinking like "oh man, she's not ready for the solo" 😂 Anyway, is such an human reaction, absolutely normal the first time you heard this masterpiece. ❤️
When a song makes you feel all the feels....you don't just HEAR music. You EXPERIENCE it. Lady, your response is perfectly normal for a masterpiece like this one. Welcome to the world of rock and metal 😊💓
It really is the best guitar solo in history. Maybe not this particular version, but...yeah, Comfortably Numb is the best guitar thing anyone's ever done.
@@DiamondDustVIII - I dont agree. I was at this exact concert and at the end I had tears in my eyes as did many many other. The emotion was off the scale for me and I know the song but this was the first time I have heard this longer intense version. No guitar solo has ever come close to invoking those emotions for. It was almost spiritual.
@@exorcist1998 I was saying that mostly because I've only ever heard the studio version, this one, and David in Pompeii. There may be others I don't know about, I've just started to realize the guy was an absolute master if the guitar, even live. Insanely jealous that you got to see this live...I would've been crying the whole time.
What Gilmour did here is just not normal, it's out of this world! I've heard it million times and it cracks me every time! Best solo ever to one of the best songs ever!
Never apologize for feeling the indescribable talent of David Gilmore and crew. I had the privilege of attending this concert. During several songs I swear I felt myself lift off the ground... everywhere you looked, people's eyes were full of tears... All you had to do was make eye contact, and tears just burst out. and afterwards, total strangers were hugging each other trying to deal with what they had just experienced. it was overwhelming... I'll never forget it.
I bought it on VHS as soon as it was released, and watched it on a friend's 62" rear projection TV, connected to a pro logic receiver and big speakers in a darkened room. It was AWESOME! best concert experience ever, without physically being there, at Earls Court. I then bought it on DVD a year or so later, and still watch it now and then. It never gets old.
There will never be another band like pink floyd. I can't believe how lucky I am because I started listening to them in 1972 and I have never really stopped. I know almost every verse from every song.
She says it all, "I can't explain, you would not understand". Gilmour was using his guitar pick on your neurons, and hit every pleasure center. Never be sorry, only sorry for those who don't get it. My favorite song of all time.
I'm a 48 year old male who considers himself a pretty tough guy. Pink Floyd transforms me into a puddle of teary-eyed mush. Last time I saw them in concert, I couldn't move to leave afterwards for 20-30 minutes. Sat there and cried from sheer emotion.
one of the very few times a "live version" of a song is even better than the original. With multiple vocals alternating with Dave and an extended version of the greatest solo ever.
This is a great version for sure but my favorite version of this song is from the original Delicate Sound of Thunder live album. When I perform this song in a band situation that's the version I cover.
In my opinion, I’d have to agree. Something about that last solo, he really just GAVE it. It’s indescribable, impossible to pin down. It wraps around you.
And a lot of the men too, I would bet. It gets me, every time! But not just this track, many Floyd tracks tease a similar reaction. When you hear perfection, there is no stopping the tsunami of emotion.
73 here, followed Floyd from the start. I've never admitted it before, but I was crying the first time I heard this song. DG just gets so much feel and emotion into his playing. Glad I'm not alone in the crying stakes!
I've heard this song a million times and each time it gives me goosebumps and chills but watching her reaction and her cry somehow made me cry as well. This music is unrivalled in it's specialness
I'm British, I'm 72, been following Floyd since their inception. Always loved this masterpiece but never cried whilst listening to it, until today! Love your re'action, moved me in so many ways.
@Reischa Parker And this is your Sister from almost as South as it can get, in New Zealand & I was thinking exactly the same thing as you. Yes, it is great connecting over Pink Floyd living in this Universe.
Tony, you are truly a pioneer. Pink Floyd has always been ahead of its time. Thank you for supporting Pink.F. so we could all get to hear them too. I'm 58 & bought my 1st ever album at 14 yrs old in NZ, the "Dark Side of the moon". It is still my favourite today. Cheers.
This is the best reaction clip I've seen. Ever. The woman in this clip perfectly illustrates why music is such a unifying force in our lives. The emotion, the almost indescribable joy that notes can coax out of the human soul. We're tired, stressed, concerned about things that don't matter. Music washes it all away and replaces what should have been there all along. The tears are natural. We've all done it to our favorite stuff. It moves us. And we don't have to explain it. Just enjoy it. Peace to you both. "No more apologizing. This is who I am" YES
Don't you dare apologize. The whole point of music is to make an emotional connection with the listener. Pink Floyd, and David Gilmour in particular, has a incredible talent to be able to do that.
When I was in recovery my husband asked me, "What is it like for you right now? I'm trying to understand so I can help." I didn't say anything. I immediately put this song, this version, on the speakers and sat quietly. He listened along with me. Stone silent. Not moving. When the track ended, he sat there, still quiet, for about 5 minutes. I said, "Do you understand now?" He burst intears and hugged me tight. Sometimes, music can explain far better than any words. This song will always have a deeply emotional meaning for me.
koslim She’s a really sweet hearted girl but the reaction is surprising. The first reaction of theirs that I watched was the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt. Both she and I were a mess after that song.
If this solo doesn't touch you emotionally then you're dead inside. Simple as that. I have never before seen a musician that so totally became one with his intrument and I don't think I'll ever see it again.
Pink Floyd hits me almost as much as her because this music was my childhood, since my dad would play it on the stereo and in the car constantly. I even watched The Wall music video/movie as a kid.
There are a few reaction channels out there that are pretty boring, people just sitting there, blank faced, watching a video and barely saying or doing anything... Let me tell you, watching you guys is never boring!!!
@@HalfLifeSistah your videos are fantastic... Lots of pure emotion coming from you and your hubby.... You are one of the fans and are moved to tears that is something unique... I hope to see you do many new videos...
Pink Floyd transcends music... I can't tell you how many times I've cried or smiled listening to them. Each song is a master piece... but they created albums, and when you understand how each song is part of a whole it's just overwhelming how beautiful and deep their art is.
The 'Meddle' album almost drove me insane the first time I heard it. I was 20, and living in a shelter at the time. My father and I used to listen to Pink Floyd all the time. This was an album he didn't have though. He passed away not long before I began living in a shelter, and they had a store up front. There was a Walkman and a huge casstte and CD section. The Wall and Meddle were both in there and I grabbed them. I still get extremely emotional listening to this band.
I play this song in a classic rock band. Always before the first chord I raise my thoughts to the most enlightened things my soul can perceive and imagine a light coming from above, piercing my body and out through the guitar headstock. On each note I wish I love, peace and light for each creature present. I literally go out of orbit and come back when the song ends .. it's definitely not just a song .. ir you Santa to watch please type on youtube comfortably numb Brodericks
Listen I'm a 60 year old Man and everytime I hear this Live version I literally cry like a Baby!! By far one of the Greatest Songs ever Written!! Rock on David Gilmour
One Internet user mentioned that when his daughter was 4 years old, when he put on a Pink Floyd record, she asked for the door to leave the room. So he asked her why? She replied:''Because this music enters my body'';. . .
@@HalfLifeSistah Here is the answer I gave to an admirer of Metallica's Kirk Hammett's solo in the beautiful ''Fade to black'': Kirk Hammett in ''Fade to black'' takes us close to the black hole in the center of the galaxy. But be careful, he has a lot of support from Hetfield and Trujillo in the peak of the room. Of course, Metallica likes to rub up against black holes. David Gilmour has no need for this support in Comfortably Numb. Why? Because it makes us realize the beauty of galaxy harmony. This universe, which despite the black holes, makes us all gravitate in an immense and colossal harmony; so much greater than the simple human nature. There's one another aspect you need to realize. Pink Floyd was founded in the late 1960s. It was the wave of the: ''Yeah. . . Yeah. . . Yeah'' of the Beatles. British like them, but they come with this music straight out of another world; a kind of angelic world. In conclusion, they are also the inventors of this kind of large-scale show. Before, it was practically just the scene, some basic lighting effects and that was it. Ask yourself this question? Could Metallica have been born without them? Honestly, I'm not sure. They are the greatest of all time, and there is no doubt that we will listen to Beethoven in 300 years, and we will still travel to the eternal music of Pink Floyd. Finally do you know how old Kirk Hammett was when Pink Floyd was recorded in Pompeii? He was 10 years old. I strongly recommend you to listen this movie on RUclips '' Pink Floyd Pompeii''. . . Phew!. . . . They were already occupying a galaxy from the Big Bang. ruclips.net/video/y-E7_VHLvkE/видео.html (part 1) ruclips.net/video/p89kAp4rzBE/видео.html (part 2)
Scott Redman I was a fairly "late bloomer" when it comes to music. From age 18 I was busy being a wife and mother. Then, when my son went off to university, he was kind enough to leave behind some of his favorite music. This was back in 1994. Then he started sending me suggestions that he had discovered on campus. Like Leonard Cohen (who was still under the radar....at least where we live), and THIS epic production. I was 36 at the time I started to listen to these -- as you call it, "transformative" -- bands and singers. I'm 63 now....living alone with my cat. My son and daughter-in-law are 1500 miles away. But when I hear these songs that MY David gifted to me, it takes me right back to those wonderful, beautiful times we had -- and actually STILL have -- talking about the sheer power of BRILLIANT music. 🌟💫💛
This guitar solo is historical. That was phenomenal and so emotional, that was just splendid and extremely powerful! I was there, that specific day, I was really young and everybody after the concert was speechless and still in trance. We were walking in silence, thinking about this phenomenal concert, looking at the stage sometimes just to remember this moment forever before we leave for good. I also remember the smell of joints, especially in front of the stage (yes, that was of course forbidden but ... Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd, right? Some people couldn't resist). Now, when I watch this guitar solo, I always remember that the sound was everywhere around us, it was so impressive and so imposing, like ... the massive, colossal, powerful, and majestic machine of Pink Floyd, directly connected to your soul! And I can tell you that we were all vibrating! - Your friend is really unique! She is really sensitive for sure, and she is exceptional. What a lovely person!
@@Glock_4717 You're welcome, Lennon. I was completely blown away! Hypnotized or in trance, if you like. To me, it was a unique and a particular experience, literally speaking. During the concert, I was thinking about different things, but mostly about my childhood (even if I was not even in my 20s yet, but we always think about it when we are talking about Pink Floyd anyway). The sound was just spectacular: massive, imposing, powerful, but also perfectly clean! 90% of the time, during a concert, people are talking, laughing, and having good times; but during this concert, everybody was literally speechless. No stupid or annoying people. Everybody was just "connected". It was like, being in a parallel universe where everything was completely different. That was phenomenal and special, almost "magic" so to speak. And so many people were there. Something like 16,300 people! And I kept the tickets by the way, hehe! In this video at 15:00 she explains it very well. And today, I'm still proud to say _"I WAS THERE, WITH PINK FLOYD THAT DAY!"_
I was there with 65000 others in Clemson Stadium 1994 when I saw the Division Bell/Pulse tour. If you didnt see the concert in full surround sound, you cannot imagine that experience.
That is the pink Floyd experience. They pick you up and carry you off to a beautiful place. Not many bands that can touch you emotionally. David is an absolute legend, he has a very rare gift
The reason this guitar solo is so unusual is that David will always hit the string you wouldn't expect him to hit. He manages to touch the chords that we previously thought inaccessible, out of reach to others.
"The child has grown, the dream is gone". The most poignant lyric in rock history, followed by the most soul-stirring guitar solo of all-time (live or studio). This is truly a transcendent piece of music. It's a living thing unto itself. Gilmour's guitar has been known to make the gods weep. You can hear and feel the lump in the throat of his Stratocaster. Gilmour, through his guitar, has the ability to profoundly touch every living soul he encounters. He truly is in a class by himself.
Agreed, hands down, the very best and emotional, honest and heartfelt reaction to a song, ever . You didn't have to say a word Sistah, we all knew what you were feeling...
Loved your reaction. I'm 71 years old and have seen them numerous times since 1969. Believe me... there was nothing like a Pink Floyd concert. I'm glad I'm not the only one brought to tears when hearing something special. May I suggest you view the 1988 live performance of On The Turning Away... but be forewarned that you'll need numerous tissues.
alleneh Hi. I’m Annie, 68 years and a retired hippie chick who has been a huge Pink Floyd since I heard Echoes from Meddle when it came out. My husband passed a year ago and PF has helped so much. Yes I still cry but not so much. Good to see another old timer here.
That's a great comment @ @@blondelebanese9922 I wish you all the best and please remember your husband would want you to get the most out of your many remaining years. So think of him and reflect but don't forget to enjoy every day...:)
@@blondelebanese9922 Bless you dear lady... I've been collecting records since 1955. Our generation has the advantage of being born before Rock & Roll, thereby letting us experience music and all its various styles and changes throughout the years. We have a better understanding of who and what influenced what and who. We've heard it all...most of todays generation have no idea, which is sad.... and now I'm going to sound like an old fart... our music was better than most of what corporate radio plays today.
This quote from an interview with Megadeth band members sums up the genius that is David Gilmour ... Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine shared praises of Pink Floyd guitar master David Gilmour, calling him vastly superior to a solid portion of today's "shredders." Dave told Premiere Guitar during a recent interview: "When you live, breathe, and feel the song that you're writing, the song pretty much tells you what it needs. "I'm not a believer that a solo has to be shredding with a wang bar, though I think a lot of people do some really great work with that. "I'm of the belief that a player like David Gilmour could do more with one note than some of today's shredders can do with a dozen.
This is, in my opinion, the very best of all versions of this song, studio included. It is impeccably orchestrated and mixed. The second guitar solo has gone on to be widely recognized as the best ever recorded.
Seeing people's reaction to hearing David Gilmour play for the first time restores my faith in humanity. To feel music at such a deep and spiritual level is a true gift, my dear. Never apologize for that.
When I was 14 yrs old (1980), my mom got me Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl. It changed my life and changed the way I listened to music. I remember listening to the album an night, when no one was watching. It brought tears of joy to my young eyes, so I know what you're feeling, Sistah. Welcome to the Pink Floyd t-shirt wearing crowd! I know you'll wear it with pride.
I stole my brothers cassette. when he heard it he came in my room and punched me hard in the leg. Like hard ! He took the tape and told me not to touch his stuff. An hour later he threw a brand new Maxell dubbed and labeled tape at me. I love that asshole.
When music can make you feel the way she does while listening, then you know it was made for a reason. I get chills when I hear something amazing and I know people who have never got “the chills” from any music which I find unbelievable. Music is here for us to relate to and help get us through tough times. I totally get her reactions to music and find it an amazing gift to feel something special from it. Love your channel keep up the amazing videos for us.
Man, if I never got _the chills_ from music anymore, _ANY_ music, that'd probably be one of the only good reasons to kill myself. Music is essential, like sleep, food, and sex.
That was a heartfelt, genuinely moving reaction to a musical masterpiece. Thank you. If you think people are going to call you crazy for that in the comments, be prepared to be surprised again. Trust me...we get it! So many of us grew up, and old, listening to this. It is as magical now as it was in the 1970's.
on another thread I read something that was so appropriate. "You don't HEAR Pink Floyd, you EXPERIENCE Pink Floyd. Somehow it touches you deeper, you don't just hear it, you feel it, it pierces your soul. It doesn't matter what type of music you enjoy, country, rap, metal, electronic, it doesn't matter, when you hear this, when you listen to this, it touches you somewhere deep in your soul. It has that effect on you, I don't know how they did it, it couldn't possibly have been an intentional thing, they hit something primal, something that somehow touches us on a level that is universal. It is genius, it is perfection, it is somehow, everything.
"Comfortably Numb" is one of the most beautiful compositions ever created in rock or music history. I didn't burst into tears as you did the first time I heard it, but I truly understand the emotion you felt. But after it was over, I felt alive in my spirit and confused to a point wondering, "what did I just experience?" A very good friend of mine, who is a very well known Texas Country Music Artist, described exactly what you felt in this song..."Music is the language of the soul". Music speaks to each of us in different and deeper ways and obviously this performance spoke to you in a manner that you actually felt it...
At the Pulse concert April 1994 Pasadena California a lot of people were weeping to comfortably Numb high hopes and sorrow... It was a spiritual experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.... the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb, Sorrow, and High Hopes will be played at my funeral... This is who am, this is the way..
I've always described pink floyd like this, it's as if you can hear your soul vibrating so loudly, it couldn't possibly be ignored! They're my favorite for a reason, they reach something so deep down inside you it's like you could just burst. Great reaction guys, I truly enjoyed this.
no doubt, my definitely favorite is high hopes. If you haven't listened to it all the way through you have to hear the guitar solo at the end. You have to check it out. It is so f****** beautiful
I was blown away by the whole experience,, I was there, Earls Court London , my god,, what would she of been like if she was there,, I’d liked to of sat next to her to find that out. Amazing reaction.. 🙏
in 1994, on one october night in Earls Court we had an epiphany. I bought the VHS cassette from the concert as soon as it was available and played it until it tore. To this day, when I hear this version, I get soggy eyes and all hair on my back stands straight for +9 mins ...
I was there too my friend, glad it wasn’t the night the seats collapsed. An experience I will never forget apart from the music the thing I remember so well is the smell of the weed 😊
@@PATRIOT1690 awesome night and never forget it and even better that the video of the event I on RUclips to remind us and bring us back to that night,, bloody brilliant,, 🎸
Sometimes the only thing that helps to keep my fractured thoughts and raw emotions is music . I'll be 48 years old this June. I spent every dollar I made from the age of 10 buying tickets to concerts. Music is the ultimate expression of pure thought and written emotion made to encapsulate the listener. Sistah please don't ever apologize for letting your emotions overcome you. We your friends and family enjoy seeing you react to music that, in the past helped shape us into the people we are today. Thanks to you guys we sometimes get to re-explore songs along with you and allow you to ignite our passions once again .
I was at that show… Met David Gilmour before the show, talked with him for 22 minutes. Told him… In my mind…You Are A Legend, The Master Of The Stratocaster”
It's no wonder you cry...it's one those master pieces (not many). This is not just a piece of music, this is an art in every possible level you can imagine. It's more like an live science fiction movie with unbelievable music. This live performance is like encounter of a third kind to your vision, your heart and soul is connected to guitar and your brain is fucked up with one of the most amazing musical piece ever made.
This by far the single greatest reaction video of any song on RUclips. And It is to arguably the greatest rock song ever performed with the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. WOW. I am not drained of all energy. She really knocked me out.
I am sixty-three and have been an avid lover of Pink Floyd all my life but your reaction to this rendition of Comfortably Numb has reduced me to a quivering wreck. Am I just a silly old man?
Finally someone who gets more emotional than me when I listen to this song, and most Pink Floyd. David Gilmore is definitely the King of expressing emotion with his guitar, and my personal favorite guitar player. His voice is very good also. I’ll be devastated if and when he is no longer with us. Been a Pink Floyd fan since the Dark Side of the Moon album came out, and was on the radio. Will always be a Pink Floyd fan until my dying days.
The thing about David Gilmour (for me) is that everything has a purpose, everything has meaning. He doesn't play a long solo just to show off. He plays a long solo to really draw on the emotions, to tell a fuller story, to carry you as far as he can, and nobody does it better.
I admit. At first I thought her reaction was way too over the top, but she summed it up perfectly in the end. This song does get into every single fibre of your body, brain, and soul. Can't blame you for anything Sistah. You just let your emotions show a lot easier than me, and I can never blame you for that. In fact it's wonderful to see music affecting someone so deeply. Good on you. It's my first time watching you, but you seem like a genuine beautiful soul.
Subbed! This is an authentic reaction videos. The woman rarely looked at the concert footage, closed her eyes, looked at us (in the camera) and concentrated on what she was hearing. Other RUclips reaction videos _do not do this._ Her emotional reaction was that of an intelligent, aware human being.
Hi, love :) You know... I love that you pointed out something about me, when you said "concentrated on what she was hearing", because that is exactly right! I have seen a lot of commenters expressing disdain for me, because I close my eyes. They just don't seem to understand that A. This is my reaction and how I react-- or listen to music; B. I am focusing on the music and not the imagery of the video. This IS a review/reaction to the song, after all, right?
Thank you. I appreciate you ;) (((hugs))) ♥
That is different but part of a Pink Floyd concert is the visual part
@@darylabbott2032 Yeah, but this is a reaction video on RUclips, reacting to the MUSIC, not any visuals on a music video. The original reaction youtubers just listen music. Then the copycat creators arrived, looking for clicks.

Don't worry, close your eyes every time you feel to do it.
Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.😊
Bye from Switzerland
Instead of plugging his guitar into an amp, I think David Gilmour plugs his guitar directly into his soul.
Yeah, I don’t know how he does it....he’s freakin insanely good.
Is there an extra like button for this comment lol
Rocky Top Exactly. His guitar wails, cries, screams, seemingly freeing years of pain, joy and anger all at once
Rocky Top what David does with the guitar doesn’t seem possible.
Agreed
As soon as I saw her crying during the chorus, my immediate thought was “Oh, my darling! If you're crying now, you are definitely NOT ready for the guitar solo”.
Thats exactly what I thought. She needed to take a minute after the 2nd Chorus lol
Same for me even though I've heard the music hundreds of times and this performance a few dozen times -- but somehow, I'm still not ready either. The thing is, the song is a musical combination of knock out punches. No time to recover from the artistic and emotional impact of each section before the next punch comes flying. We are all defenseless to the power!

Respect! Me too!
32 here. When i first saw this, i didn't even know how to react. Every emotion just overloaded in my system. Ended up bawling my eyes out. A friend showed me this, and he cried as much as i did. Something about this is just so powerful. Love it.
David Gilmour, making grown adults crying since ‘70s
Dave Gilmour deservedly gets so much credit for the guitar work, but let's spare a moment for Rick Wright, whose keyboards provide the canvas for Gilmour to paint on. RIP, Rick.
Lovely description
Steve Heleven thanks for getting it bro nick too is a key member
Well said.
Yes, agreed. Many great contributions he made. Echoes is extraordinary!
The most underrated musician in history.
You don't listen to Pink Floyd, you feel Pink Floyd. The most honest reaction to this song I've ever seen.
Never say "Sorry" when a Pink Floyd song makes you cry. It's merely a natural reaction.
❤🎶🎵🎶💙💖 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙
Now that I'm old, the song 'Time' has this effect on me.
Still love Floyd after 40 years of listening and seeing them live.
73 Darkside Earls Court was my first intro .
Bloody brilliant.
@@Lee-70ish I so envy you. I am a young blood and a huge Floyd enthusiast. My life's biggest regret will be never to be able to see them live!
@@kaushikrahman2191 Never Give up hope they'll be back some day,I saw there last tour and it's a real blessing!
My kids “ Dad , why you crying “
Me “ I watched someone’s soul get touched today “
You're not helping, I was almost done.
Me too I've just been a wreck watching this lovely moment.
That's hilarious! I'm trying to hide my watering eyes from everyone here in the living room...
Amen! Deeply touched to the core!!!
Wait until you all watch 'Grave of the Fireflies'...
This was the best reaction I have EVER SEEN! To watch someone be touched so profoundly by art is so moving and made me cry as well, and I'm a 57 yr. old man. Don't ever stop feeling deeply!
I second that notion Benjamin. 🙂
There are quite a few reactions where people just break into tears like this. Indeed, discovering Pink Floyd is quite a beautiful thing to watch.
i watched this reaction 2 weeks ago and im still crying.
Amen
By many considered the best solo the world has ever heard
Your not wrong!! Masterpiece from god Gilmour... Only Steve Hackett's "firth of fith" solo comes anywhere near...
No doubt
i always struggle with naming my “best solo of all time”
its always between:
Stairway to Heaven
Hotel California
Freebird
and Comfortably Numb
but then i go listen to all 4 and only one moves me emotionally...
Agree.
All are jaw droppingly good. They all have gotten non stop rotation since their release, and while I appreciate each song (and remember there are many versions outside the studio take), the only one that can still move this man to tears even after all these years is Comfortably Numb!
Pink Floyd is no band.
Pink Floyd is an emotional experience.
With any band, including Pink Floyd, I feel that any live versions are never the best, and that the studio versions are the definitive versions, because technically they are. The live versions always have an difference or imperfection that takes away from what I got from the original track.
@@aerithnull5081 Not everyone gets to appreciate the live version - your loss Nullser
The child is grown, The dream is gone. Man I love that line.
That is the best reaction for this song ever. You should send this to Dave Gilmour, he would be so happy
Agreed!
Stendhal syndrome?
@@albertgarcia7488 Beautiful! Yes and it's time folks claim it: It happened to me at my first live opera. (And it was freaking German, so can you imagine my first Rigoletto?) Then, in the same month, because I'd just moved to NY after decades only in the deepest south - Paul Klee and a Bellini of St. Francis are two visual occasions where I damn near fainted. I did cry and had to leave the exhibit because. All poured out. I know. You just wrote two words and I'm babbling. Here's to more like Sista et vous.
Could have seen it ,,
Yes make sure that Dave get this pure origin kredit !!
It’s not a song. It’s a spiritual journey.
Is true... with the best band of the world !!!!!
Really
This song makes me crazy
Sister, I am English and just turned 70 this year. I grew up in West London in the sixties and the Pink Floyd we’re one of my local bands. By the seventies I thought the beauty of their music was just my imagination playing tricks. But your reaction is proof positive that it was all true. This music was made especially for great souls like you, and will now be your life companions, as they have been mine.
Hi sunshine 🤗
I appreciate you. Thank you 😚♥️
*Edit* We will be uploading Pink Floyd - High Hopes and Dogs, soon 😊
@@HalfLifeSistah wow your raw reaction was nothing short of the essence of your humanity ! Gilmore's second lead solo is just rapturous .. shook my soul when I first heard it 30+ years ago with its bittersweet melancholic glory .... a huge hug from Texas . ❤
i grew up in hammersmith,chiswick,isleworth etc peace my fellow floydian xxx
@@morfeophantasm7435 Ain't no Gilmore....
Pink Floyd can't be explained, only experienced
Well said man... well said, as it would take a life time to describe how Pink Floyd with a lot of their songs make you feel, you may as well just let their music just take you to the point of no return.
SOOOO TRUE.
Exactly right Jason.
… and that, my friends, is what art is all about.
Try explaining what the lady sings in 'great gig of the sky'...
wait wut..
Pink Floyd to music is as Shakespeare to literature, as Einstein to science, as Van Gogh to art. Nothing more, nothing less.
I like that!! Well said!
I love it but I'd put tesla over Einstein all day
@Justin Edwards i think you're mixing up edison and einstein
@@dorrhablue8202 Yeah. Edison was the plagiarist.
Although I definitely agree with you to an extent, however, some of the most impressive talent and artistry within music will always remain with the greats like Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, etc.
The relevant quotes here are:
"Guitars want David Gilmore for Christmas." - Unknown
"Leo Fender created the Stratocaster. God created David Gilmore to play it." - Unknown
"David Gilmore can do more with one note than most guitar players can do with the entire fretboard." - Dave Mustain, Megadeth
Dio mio quanto hai ragione , lo Zio David è un ANGELO venuto dal cielo per emozionarci con la sua chitarra e la sua voce .
LO AMO INCONDIZIONATAMENTE💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This song has the greatest and most beautiful guitar solo ever.
Only played right with a Strat No1. Gibson doesn´t sound right. Like, at all. To soft and warm. No matter of the pedals used. This song needs a Strat.
Can't decide which part is the best : phrasing starting at 12:41 or 13:11.
"Time" solo is better
This is the best, eruption is the most impressive
When she started crying during the chorus I was thinking like "oh man, she's not ready for the solo" 😂
Anyway, is such an human reaction, absolutely normal the first time you heard this masterpiece. ❤️
Lenniz 231: Indeed. I think the same.
I'm in tears right now and I can't count how many times I've heard it!
Timothy Henderson me too!
Yeah, just before the second solo it's almost like "The singing hits you where you live? Here, hold my beer."
When a song makes you feel all the feels....you don't just HEAR music. You EXPERIENCE it. Lady, your response is perfectly normal for a masterpiece like this one. Welcome to the world of rock and metal 😊💓
Simply the best solo EVER recorded...this version...hands down
I saw that tour at RFK statium in DC.... I agree, best EVER!!!
It really is the best guitar solo in history. Maybe not this particular version, but...yeah, Comfortably Numb is the best guitar thing anyone's ever done.
@@DiamondDustVIII What about Cardi B?
@@DiamondDustVIII - I dont agree. I was at this exact concert and at the end I had tears in my eyes as did many many other. The emotion was off the scale for me and I know the song but this was the first time I have heard this longer intense version. No guitar solo has ever come close to invoking those emotions for. It was almost spiritual.
@@exorcist1998 I was saying that mostly because I've only ever heard the studio version, this one, and David in Pompeii. There may be others I don't know about, I've just started to realize the guy was an absolute master if the guitar, even live. Insanely jealous that you got to see this live...I would've been crying the whole time.
What Gilmour did here is just not normal, it's out of this world! I've heard it million times and it cracks me every time! Best solo ever to one of the best songs ever!
Never apologize for feeling the indescribable talent of David Gilmore and crew. I had the privilege of attending this concert. During several songs I swear I felt myself lift off the ground... everywhere you looked, people's eyes were full of tears... All you had to do was make eye contact, and tears just burst out. and afterwards, total strangers were hugging each other trying to deal with what they had just experienced. it was overwhelming... I'll never forget it.
I bought it on VHS as soon as it was released, and watched it on a friend's 62" rear projection TV, connected to a pro logic receiver and big speakers in a darkened room. It was AWESOME! best concert experience ever, without physically being there, at Earls Court. I then bought it on DVD a year or so later, and still watch it now and then. It never gets old.
incredible. It's the first time I hear of such reactions (the hugging)
You've been blessed by life!
Pink Floyd... there will never be another like them. Music perfection.
TRUTH!
Jamie Collingwood amen brother
So True...
It's not perfection without Roger who wrote this song and the whole album - and sung 1/2 the parts on the original.
There will never be another band like pink floyd. I can't believe how lucky I am because I started listening to them in 1972 and I have never really stopped.
I know almost every verse from every song.
She says it all, "I can't explain, you would not understand". Gilmour was using his guitar pick on your neurons, and hit every pleasure center. Never be sorry, only sorry for those who don't get it. My favorite song of all time.
Thank you! :-*
I think this woman has a beautiful soul
Awwwe, thank you, love :) ♥
I almost always amazed that more people don’t react to great music like she does!!!
I'm a 48 year old male who considers himself a pretty tough guy. Pink Floyd transforms me into a puddle of teary-eyed mush. Last time I saw them in concert, I couldn't move to leave afterwards for 20-30 minutes. Sat there and cried from sheer emotion.
+1 a 51 year old "mans" man. There is just no hiding your soul from this
With you there man, my trainers are are all tear spotted. Not sorry.
THIS is THE version of Comfortably Numb.
one of the very few times a "live version" of a song is even better than the original. With multiple vocals alternating with Dave and an extended version of the greatest solo ever.
There´s the roger water's dvd version, which is also very emotional, you should check it out.
This is a great version for sure but my favorite version of this song is from the original Delicate Sound of Thunder live album. When I perform this song in a band situation that's the version I cover.
In my opinion, I’d have to agree. Something about that last solo, he really just GAVE it. It’s indescribable, impossible to pin down. It wraps around you.
a thousand times yes
Don't be embarrassed. I was at that concert. Every girl around me had tears flowing down their cheeks
If I was there, I would be crying too lol
And a lot of the men too, I would bet.
It gets me, every time! But not just this track, many Floyd tracks tease a similar reaction.
When you hear perfection, there is no stopping the tsunami of emotion.
51 y/o male. Tears on my face and hair stands on end almost every time I hear this song. No shame!
40 here crying throughout the whole song and enjoying so much.
73 here, followed Floyd from the start. I've never admitted it before, but I was crying the first time I heard this song. DG just gets so much feel and emotion into his playing. Glad I'm not alone in the crying stakes!
Don't apologize Sistah. You only externalize what we all feel on the inside listening to Pink Floyd. And we love you for it.
^_^ ♥
I couldn't agree more. She has so much to discover.
Agreed!
Trip Thirty amen.
Trip Thirty Bro she cried during Holy wars by Megadeth lol. Honestly
I've heard this song a million times and each time it gives me goosebumps and chills but watching her reaction and her cry somehow made me cry as well. This music is unrivalled in it's specialness
🤗😚♥️
I'm British, I'm 72, been following Floyd since their inception.
Always loved this masterpiece but never cried whilst listening to it, until today!
Love your re'action, moved me in so many ways.
Yeah, I'm a tough guy, sitting in Cleveland airport watching this, and pulling out a tissue to dab the tears.
@@YaoEspirito - I'm glad I'm home and nobody can see me crying. I stated on another thread, I've instucted my wife to play at my funeral or wake.
JRMonte1978 Ive said the same thing brother!
@Reischa Parker And this is your Sister from almost as South as it can get, in New Zealand & I was thinking exactly the same thing as you. Yes, it is great connecting over Pink Floyd living in this Universe.
Tony, you are truly a pioneer. Pink Floyd has always been ahead of its time. Thank you for supporting Pink.F. so we could all get to hear them too. I'm 58 & bought my 1st ever album at 14 yrs old in NZ, the "Dark Side of the moon". It is still my favourite today. Cheers.
This is the best reaction clip I've seen. Ever. The woman in this clip perfectly illustrates why music is such a unifying force in our lives. The emotion, the almost indescribable joy that notes can coax out of the human soul. We're tired, stressed, concerned about things that don't matter. Music washes it all away and replaces what should have been there all along. The tears are natural. We've all done it to our favorite stuff. It moves us. And we don't have to explain it. Just enjoy it. Peace to you both. "No more apologizing. This is who I am" YES
Love this!
Great reply
shes on drugs
An absolute masterpiece. And the solo is just... Wow!
Don't you dare apologize. The whole point of music is to make an emotional connection with the listener. Pink Floyd, and David Gilmour in particular, has a incredible talent to be able to do that.
That young lady just had a religious experience such is Pink Floyd.
When I was in recovery my husband asked me, "What is it like for you right now? I'm trying to understand so I can help." I didn't say anything. I immediately put this song, this version, on the speakers and sat quietly.
He listened along with me. Stone silent. Not moving. When the track ended, he sat there, still quiet, for about 5 minutes.
I said, "Do you understand now?"
He burst intears and hugged me tight.
Sometimes, music can explain far better than any words.
This song will always have a deeply emotional meaning for me.
10 seconds into the solo and she starts crying.. Yep thats gilmour girl.. No worries happens to all of us
I love the Gilmore Girls..wait what?
koslim She’s a really sweet hearted girl but the reaction is surprising. The first reaction of theirs that I watched was the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt. Both she and I were a mess after that song.
If this solo doesn't touch you emotionally then you're dead inside. Simple as that.
I have never before seen a musician that so totally became one with his intrument and I don't think I'll ever see it again.
koslim It sure does!
Pink Floyd hits me almost as much as her because this music was my childhood, since my dad would play it on the stereo and in the car constantly. I even watched The Wall music video/movie as a kid.
There are a few reaction channels out there that are pretty boring, people just sitting there, blank faced, watching a video and barely saying or doing anything... Let me tell you, watching you guys is never boring!!!
Aaaawww, thank you, love. I really appreciate that🤗😊😘💜
@@HalfLifeSistah your videos are fantastic... Lots of pure emotion coming from you and your hubby.... You are one of the fans and are moved to tears that is something unique... I hope to see you do many new videos...
To see this young lady enjoying this so much has just made my day complete.
Pink Floyd transcends music... I can't tell you how many times I've cried or smiled listening to them.
Each song is a master piece... but they created albums, and when you understand how each song is part of a whole it's just overwhelming how beautiful and deep their art is.
I'm from Colombia and I have to say... nice Spanish sistah
Wolf was just talking to me about how meaningful the songs are! 💜
@@gallinakolina Gracias, mi Amor 😃😙🤗💜✊🏾🤘🏾
Mamacita 😘
Just kidding... I don't want Wolf to get jealous 😂
The 'Meddle' album almost drove me insane the first time I heard it. I was 20, and living in a shelter at the time. My father and I used to listen to Pink Floyd all the time. This was an album he didn't have though. He passed away not long before I began living in a shelter, and they had a store up front. There was a Walkman and a huge casstte and CD section. The Wall and Meddle were both in there and I grabbed them. I still get extremely emotional listening to this band.
im not a religious or spiritual man but i am when i listen to Pink Floyd
Same here.. This is my prayer
That is absolutely true. Sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks...
I play this song in a classic rock band. Always before the first chord I raise my thoughts to the most enlightened things my soul can perceive and imagine a light coming from above, piercing my body and out through the guitar headstock. On each note I wish I love, peace and light for each creature present. I literally go out of orbit and come back when the song ends .. it's definitely not just a song .. ir you Santa to watch please type on youtube comfortably numb Brodericks
If this solo isn't playing during my ascension to heaven, then I refuse to die!!!!!!
The solo represents what it means to achieve mastery of your craft. David Gilmour did it.
goat solo ever written
Listen I'm a 60 year old Man and everytime I hear this Live version I literally cry like a Baby!! By far one of the Greatest Songs ever Written!! Rock on David Gilmour
One Internet user mentioned that when his daughter was 4 years old, when he put on a Pink Floyd record, she asked for the door to leave the room. So he asked her why? She replied:''Because this music enters my body'';. . .
Woooww!😮💜
@@HalfLifeSistah Here is the answer I gave to an admirer of Metallica's Kirk Hammett's solo in the beautiful ''Fade to black'': Kirk Hammett in ''Fade to black'' takes us close to the black hole in the center of the galaxy. But be careful, he has a lot of support from Hetfield and Trujillo in the peak of the room. Of course, Metallica likes to rub up against black holes. David Gilmour has no need for this support in Comfortably Numb. Why? Because it makes us realize the beauty of galaxy harmony. This universe, which despite the black holes, makes us all gravitate in an immense and colossal harmony; so much greater than the simple human nature. There's one another aspect you need to realize. Pink Floyd was founded in the late 1960s. It was the wave of the: ''Yeah. . . Yeah. . . Yeah'' of the Beatles. British like them, but they come with this music straight out of another world; a kind of angelic world. In conclusion, they are also the inventors of this kind of large-scale show. Before, it was practically just the scene, some basic lighting effects and that was it. Ask yourself this question? Could Metallica have been born without them? Honestly, I'm not sure. They are the greatest of all time, and there is no doubt that we will listen to Beethoven in 300 years, and we will still travel to the eternal music of Pink Floyd. Finally do you know how old Kirk Hammett was when Pink Floyd was recorded in Pompeii? He was 10 years old. I strongly recommend you to listen this movie on RUclips '' Pink Floyd Pompeii''. . . Phew!. . . . They were already occupying a galaxy from the Big Bang. ruclips.net/video/y-E7_VHLvkE/видео.html (part 1) ruclips.net/video/p89kAp4rzBE/видео.html (part 2)

one of the must emotional solos ever played, I cry every time.
You can literally hear the pain flowing into your ears, down to your heart and settle in your gut. When David's guitar cries, so do I.
You are two people in life: who you were before hearing Pink Floyd, and who you are afterwards. It's that transformative.
That's pretty damn true...
I wish I could hear PF for the first time again and capture that feeling and emotion
Scott Redman
I was a fairly "late bloomer" when it comes to music. From age 18 I was busy being a wife and mother. Then, when my son went off to
university, he was kind enough to leave behind some of his favorite music. This was back in 1994. Then he started sending me suggestions
that he had discovered on campus. Like Leonard Cohen (who was still under the radar....at least where we live), and THIS epic production.
I was 36 at the time I started to listen to these -- as you call it, "transformative" -- bands and singers. I'm 63 now....living alone with my cat.
My son and daughter-in-law are 1500 miles away. But when I hear these songs that MY David gifted to me, it takes me right back to those
wonderful, beautiful times we had -- and actually STILL have -- talking about the sheer power of BRILLIANT music. 🌟💫💛
i'm 52 years old, and i still crying when i hear this music, and i love that too !
Me too chris,me too...PF are awesome!!!!!

I'm 63 and I must be soft; because Floyd has had me in tears since '73
Same here...i'm 58
@@grneyedtao Here also, 61 years of age ...
This guitar solo is historical. That was phenomenal and so emotional, that was just splendid and extremely powerful! I was there, that specific day, I was really young and everybody after the concert was speechless and still in trance. We were walking in silence, thinking about this phenomenal concert, looking at the stage sometimes just to remember this moment forever before we leave for good. I also remember the smell of joints, especially in front of the stage (yes, that was of course forbidden but ... Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd, right? Some people couldn't resist). Now, when I watch this guitar solo, I always remember that the sound was everywhere around us, it was so impressive and so imposing, like ... the massive, colossal, powerful, and majestic machine of Pink Floyd, directly connected to your soul! And I can tell you that we were all vibrating! - Your friend is really unique! She is really sensitive for sure, and she is exceptional. What a lovely person!
Thank you for sharing your experience I wish I could have been there but I’m too young
@@Glock_4717 You're welcome, Lennon. I was completely blown away! Hypnotized or in trance, if you like. To me, it was a unique and a particular experience, literally speaking. During the concert, I was thinking about different things, but mostly about my childhood (even if I was not even in my 20s yet, but we always think about it when we are talking about Pink Floyd anyway). The sound was just spectacular: massive, imposing, powerful, but also perfectly clean! 90% of the time, during a concert, people are talking, laughing, and having good times; but during this concert, everybody was literally speechless. No stupid or annoying people. Everybody was just "connected". It was like, being in a parallel universe where everything was completely different. That was phenomenal and special, almost "magic" so to speak. And so many people were there. Something like 16,300 people! And I kept the tickets by the way, hehe! In this video at 15:00 she explains it very well. And today, I'm still proud to say _"I WAS THERE, WITH PINK FLOYD THAT DAY!"_
I was there with 65000 others in Clemson Stadium 1994 when I saw the Division Bell/Pulse tour. If you didnt see the concert in full surround sound, you cannot imagine that experience.
"Its's like the instruments are talking to me."
Got to find my pulse DVD, hope I haven't lost it.
I still get goosebumps every time I hear this. Simply stunning.
That is the pink Floyd experience. They pick you up and carry you off to a beautiful place. Not many bands that can touch you emotionally. David is an absolute legend, he has a very rare gift
No one can make their guitar cry like David Gilmour. Greatest band of all time.
Because of Obi-Wan?
I've heard this song a million times. I will get goose bumps during that 🎸 solo every single time ❤️
The reason this guitar solo is so unusual is that David will always hit the string you wouldn't expect him to hit.
He manages to touch the chords that we previously thought inaccessible, out of reach to others.
Hey lady, your reaction was magical. It always brings tears to my eyes
She didn't just heard Pink Floyd, she experienced it!
Gotta love it when a song hits your soul. Thanks for sharing this reaction, I got to hear it for the first time again vicariously.
I cannot see heaven,but I can hear it!
Amen to that soulbrother!!
Nice
David Gilmour does not simply play the guitar. He tells a story with it.
He draws us in.
"The child has grown, the dream is gone". The most poignant lyric in rock history, followed by the most soul-stirring guitar solo of all-time (live or studio). This is truly a transcendent piece of music. It's a living thing unto itself. Gilmour's guitar has been known to make the gods weep. You can hear and feel the lump in the throat of his Stratocaster. Gilmour, through his guitar, has the ability to profoundly touch every living soul he encounters. He truly is in a class by himself.
Ok. Thats it. You are officially The BEST reaction channel on youtube. Bar none. Thank you for helping me relive the wonder that is Pink Floyd
🙌🏾😃😙🤗💜✊🏾🤘🏾
Agreed, hands down, the very best and emotional, honest and heartfelt reaction to a song, ever . You didn't have to say a word Sistah, we all knew what you were feeling...
This solo will be played in heaven.
One of the best reactions I've seen. Broke down watching this. Just my favorite song ever. Just pure emotion put into music.
Loved your reaction. I'm 71 years old and have seen them numerous times since 1969. Believe me... there was nothing like a Pink Floyd concert. I'm glad I'm not the only one brought to tears when hearing something special. May I suggest you view the 1988 live performance of On The Turning Away... but be forewarned that you'll need numerous tissues.
I don't think Sistah would make it through. Brilliant song.
alleneh Hi. I’m Annie, 68 years and a retired hippie chick who has been a huge Pink Floyd since I heard Echoes from Meddle when it came out. My husband passed a year ago and PF has helped so much. Yes I still cry but not so much. Good to see another old timer here.
Also The Gunner’s Dream from The Final Cut.
That's a great comment @ @@blondelebanese9922
I wish you all the best and please remember your husband would want you to get the most out of your many remaining years.
So think of him and reflect but don't forget to enjoy every day...:)
@@blondelebanese9922 Bless you dear lady... I've been collecting records since 1955. Our generation has the advantage of being born before Rock & Roll, thereby letting us experience music and all its various styles and changes throughout the years. We have a better understanding of who and what influenced what and who. We've heard it all...most of todays generation have no idea, which is sad.... and now I'm going to sound like an old fart... our music was better than most of what corporate radio plays today.
by the second solo I was like "OMG she needs to lay down for what's comming..!"
This quote from an interview with Megadeth band members sums up the genius that is David Gilmour ...
Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine shared praises of Pink Floyd guitar master David Gilmour, calling him vastly superior to a solid portion of today's "shredders."
Dave told Premiere Guitar during a recent interview: "When you live, breathe, and feel the song that you're writing, the song pretty much tells you what it needs.
"I'm not a believer that a solo has to be shredding with a wang bar, though I think a lot of people do some really great work with that.
"I'm of the belief that a player like David Gilmour could do more with one note than some of today's shredders can do with a dozen.
Thank you for posting that. 🙋📿🙏🔭🌌
Amen,Dave knows exactly at what level David Gilmour is.
Watching Gilmours guitar mastery on Sistah's expression is priceless. The man can reach into your soul and take you for a ride like no other.
This is, in my opinion, the very best of all versions of this song, studio included. It is impeccably orchestrated and mixed. The second guitar solo has gone on to be widely recognized as the best ever recorded.
This is true
Listen to David Gilmour live in 2016 in Pompeii. That version will melt you.
The child is grown the dream is gone.. that line every time
Seeing people's reaction to hearing David Gilmour play for the first time restores my faith in humanity. To feel music at such a deep and spiritual level is a true gift, my dear. Never apologize for that.
When Halflifesistah started shaking and crying hard, my daughter said, "If he doesn't stop the music, she's going to die!"
When I was 14 yrs old (1980), my mom got me Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl. It changed my life and changed the way I listened to music. I remember listening to the album an night, when no one was watching. It brought tears of joy to my young eyes, so I know what you're feeling, Sistah. Welcome to the Pink Floyd t-shirt wearing crowd! I know you'll wear it with pride.
Yep! When I hear their music I'm transformed back to that age of amazement...when it ment everything!
Best mom ever.
I stole my brothers cassette. when he heard it he came in my room and punched me hard in the leg. Like hard ! He took the tape and told me not to touch his stuff. An hour later he threw a brand new Maxell dubbed and labeled tape at me. I love that asshole.
When music can make you feel the way she does while listening, then you know it was made for a reason. I get chills when I hear something amazing and I know people who have never got “the chills” from any music which I find unbelievable. Music is here for us to relate to and help get us through tough times. I totally get her reactions to music and find it an amazing gift to feel something special from it. Love your channel keep up the amazing videos for us.
Man, if I never got _the chills_ from music anymore, _ANY_ music, that'd probably be one of the only good reasons to kill myself. Music is essential, like sleep, food, and sex.
I get it almost everytime i listen to this and the high hopes solo live at royal albert hall, especially with 7.1 audio and a surround system.
That was a heartfelt, genuinely moving reaction to a musical masterpiece. Thank you. If you think people are going to call you crazy for that in the comments, be prepared to be surprised again. Trust me...we get it! So many of us grew up, and old, listening to this. It is as magical now as it was in the 1970's.
on another thread I read something that was so appropriate. "You don't HEAR Pink Floyd, you EXPERIENCE Pink Floyd. Somehow it touches you deeper, you don't just hear it, you feel it, it pierces your soul. It doesn't matter what type of music you enjoy, country, rap, metal, electronic, it doesn't matter, when you hear this, when you listen to this, it touches you somewhere deep in your soul. It has that effect on you, I don't know how they did it, it couldn't possibly have been an intentional thing, they hit something primal, something that somehow touches us on a level that is universal. It is genius, it is perfection, it is somehow, everything.
"Comfortably Numb" is one of the most beautiful compositions ever created in rock or music history. I didn't burst into tears as you did the first time I heard it, but I truly understand the emotion you felt. But after it was over, I felt alive in my spirit and confused to a point wondering, "what did I just experience?" A very good friend of mine, who is a very well known Texas Country Music Artist, described exactly what you felt in this song..."Music is the language of the soul". Music speaks to each of us in different and deeper ways and obviously this performance spoke to you in a manner that you actually felt it...
At the Pulse concert April 1994 Pasadena California a lot of people were weeping to comfortably Numb high hopes and sorrow... It was a spiritual experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.... the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb, Sorrow, and High Hopes will be played at my funeral... This is who am, this is the way..
Loved the reaction but the reason I keep coming back to your channel is because you two are just so dang adorable together.
Aaawwwe, I appreciate you! Thanks, beautiful!🤗😙😙💜
This. It's so fun to watch you two love on each other as you share some of most spectacular musical creations ever.
Anyone that listens to Floyd for the first time. Their life is never the same again. 👍
the two greatest rock solos ever in one song, no one can get more emotion from a guitar than David Gilmour.
I've always described pink floyd like this, it's as if you can hear your soul vibrating so loudly, it couldn't possibly be ignored! They're my favorite for a reason, they reach something so deep down inside you it's like you could just burst. Great reaction guys, I truly enjoyed this.
Don't ever be sorry...music is a religious experience sometimes....I have these emotional reactions many times.
no doubt, my definitely favorite is high hopes. If you haven't listened to it all the way through you have to hear the guitar solo at the end. You have to check it out. It is so f****** beautiful
I love chatting with you during the after-party Renee's. ❤️
Well come on now, I'm multitasking.. talking on the phone, watching TV, and doing whippets all the same time 👍🏿
Me too. Music makes me tear up all the time.
Usually Landslide makes me cry like a baby
I was blown away by the whole experience,, I was there, Earls Court London , my god,, what would she of been like if she was there,, I’d liked to of sat next to her to find that out. Amazing reaction.. 🙏
I was there as well. Utterly amazing. The planes flying across the audience!
in 1994, on one october night in Earls Court we had an epiphany. I bought the VHS cassette from the concert as soon as it was available and played it until it tore. To this day, when I hear this version, I get soggy eyes and all hair on my back stands straight for +9 mins ...
I was there too my friend, glad it wasn’t the night the seats collapsed. An experience I will never forget apart from the music the thing I remember so well is the smell of the weed 😊
I was there too.....first Floyd concert. Never could have I imagined what I was about to witness....
@@PATRIOT1690 awesome night and never forget it and even better that the video of the event I on RUclips to remind us and bring us back to that night,, bloody brilliant,, 🎸
The more you listen to this song, the more it grows on you, I've been listening to Floyd for 40 years now, and it only gets better each time.
Sometimes the only thing that helps to keep my fractured thoughts and raw emotions is music . I'll be 48 years old this June. I spent every dollar I made from the age of 10 buying tickets to concerts.
Music is the ultimate expression of pure thought and written emotion made to encapsulate the listener. Sistah please don't ever apologize for letting your emotions overcome you.
We your friends and family enjoy seeing you react to music that, in the past helped shape us into the people we are today.
Thanks to you guys we sometimes get to re-explore songs along with you and allow you to ignite our passions once again .
This is Floyd's masterpiece.
I was at that show… Met David Gilmour before the show, talked with him for 22 minutes. Told him… In my mind…You Are A Legend, The Master Of The Stratocaster”
It's no wonder you cry...it's one those master pieces (not many). This is not just a piece of music, this is an art in every possible level you can imagine. It's more like an live science fiction movie with unbelievable music. This live performance is like encounter of a third kind to your vision, your heart and soul is connected to guitar and your brain is fucked up with one of the most amazing musical piece ever made.
This by far the single greatest reaction video of any song on RUclips. And It is to arguably the greatest rock song ever performed with the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. WOW. I am not drained of all energy. She really knocked me out.
Oh, wow. Thank you! 🤗♥️
The wall
Full movie
Pink Floyd
I am sixty-three and have been an avid lover of Pink Floyd all my life but your reaction to this rendition of Comfortably Numb has reduced me to a quivering wreck. Am I just a silly old man?
nope, ;i'm only 57, and i'm there too.
I am Jeremy Bear you are not silly old man. I'm 61 love Pink Floyd. When David Gilmour shreds the guitar it shredz my feelings
Take it easy Youngster. I'm older.....:)
Sistah the feelings you were trying to get out and tell us about is Called (Comfortably Numb)!!! We all feel it with you,and it never gets old.
Finally someone who gets more emotional than me when I listen to this song, and most Pink Floyd. David Gilmore is definitely the King of expressing emotion with his guitar, and my personal favorite guitar player. His voice is very good also. I’ll be devastated if and when he is no longer with us. Been a Pink Floyd fan since the Dark Side of the Moon album came out, and was on the radio. Will always be a Pink Floyd fan until my dying days.
"The child has grown, the dream is gone"
This line always hits me hard
The thing about David Gilmour (for me) is that everything has a purpose, everything has meaning. He doesn't play a long solo just to show off. He plays a long solo to really draw on the emotions, to tell a fuller story, to carry you as far as he can, and nobody does it better.
You just explained it...it goes straight to your soul. I'm over 70 and I still cry during this solo....the best ever!
David Gilmour rips out your soul and bears it in front of you with his playing. Truly a beautiful thing.
I admit. At first I thought her reaction was way too over the top, but she summed it up perfectly in the end. This song does get into every single fibre of your body, brain, and soul. Can't blame you for anything Sistah. You just let your emotions show a lot easier than me, and I can never blame you for that. In fact it's wonderful to see music affecting someone so deeply. Good on you. It's my first time watching you, but you seem like a genuine beautiful soul.
Thank you😊🤗🤗🤗❤
