I was at this concert in Chicago in 1984. And just for the record, that was not the end of the show. He comes back out after a few minutes and does another song... and then to the shock and delight of everybody in the audience, breaks into "Comfortably Numb". The crowd went wild!! THAT was the end of the concert.
Finally, the bassist is Pino Palladino who features in Gilmour's 1984 album. In that album there also appearances of Jeff Porcaro at drums (Toto) and David Knopfler and Pete Townsend (Guitars)
I know your love for Comfortably Numb is huge and you've done 4 versions of the song. There's another official video that you must see David Gilmour Comfortably Numb love in Sao Paolo 2015. The audience reaction is special.
You can see the same girl in Mike Oldfield's Millennium concert 16 years after and she looked axactly the same. I don't remember her name but she's an incredible percussionist. She also played with Gilmour and Pete Townsend at the Rockpalast the same year performing a great percussion solo on Gilmour's Blue Light
So glad you reviewed this performance of Murder. Gilmour is on point here, but I really love Mickey Feat’s bass solo. If you can believe it, MTV broadcast the entire concert in ‘84, which I recorded on my Beta HIFI. The entire concert is exceptional as only DG and his amazing band can deliver. BTW I never knew the backstory of this song, so now it is even more special to me. Thanks for sharing!✌️❤️🔥
Thank you both for another brilliant reaction. I’m glad you both enjoyed it. As a few others have mentioned, the studio version is also worth checking out, if you guys have the time, especially for the Bass solo.
This is one my favorite David Gilmore solo career songs. I love playing this on my Bass guiitar, both fretted and Unfretted bass. It is based on John Lennons Murder, not really a detailed true story.
What's when he made the most significant modification to the black Strat by installing a Kaller locking tremolo... then, he had to fill the hole to reinstall the original tremolo. The musicians in this band are well known in their own right: Mick Ralphs, from Bad Company, on guitar, Chris Slade, from AC/DC... Jodi Linscott... with everyone!!
Gilmour and Lennon knew each other. Both Beatles and Pink FLoyd were recording at Abbey Road in the same time amd they also influenced each other. The albums were Sgt Pepper and the PF debut The Piper at The Gates of Dawn. So no surprise if Gilmour felt it badly.
You're right about them knowing each other and the connections and influence between the two bands, but Gilmour wasn't there during the Piper and Abbey Road recording sessions, he didn't join Floyd until 1968, a year after Piper's release.

You react to the best songs! NOBODY reacts to David Gilmour or Mark Knopfler solo albums, but you do. You have absolutely phenomenal taste. If you like this, you should listen to ‘No Way’, ‘Raise My Rent’, or ‘There’s No Way Out Of Here’ from Gilmour’s 1978 record.
Dave's " Black Strat" which he use from a least "Meddle " On was one one his favorite. Which he sold at auction for $3.9 million without his Jimi Hendrix guitar strap which Jimi used on July 4, 1970 playing the national anthem. When ask why he didn't keep it " It is just a instrument of my craft just like the paint brush in a painting.
I caught this tour in Hartford at the Bushnell Theater, still got the program. Still listen to About Face, it is in rotation with DG, OAI, RTL. Gilmour should be a Knight.
At his last show on this tour at the Pier in NYC, I actually got to meet David. And he was the gentleman you’d hope he’d be. Around this time, ‘84ish, that’s when I think Gilmour reached his peak with his abilities. The lady is named Jodi Linscott, and she was the percussionist in the band. She bangs on just about every kind of instrument through those shows. She actually had to quit the tour by the end to give birth to her first child. Jodi was the touring percussionist of choice in those days. Pete Townsend, Peter Gabriel, The Who, Phil Collins, Paul McCartney and anyone that was someone in those days. Even toured with Spinal Tap. Great band Gil our had and fantastic tour. I probably saw 15+ of those shows on that tour. 😬
IN THE EARLY 1980S......I WAS ALREADY A PINK FLOYD FAN....BUT DIDN'T KNOW THE NAMES OF ANYONE IN THE BAND.. ONE DAY, A GUY AT WORK ASKED IF I WANTED TO GO SEE DAVID GILMOUR IN CONCERT 7 I SAID YEAH. s=SO HE TURNED ME ONTO AN EXTRA TICKET HE HAD LYING AROUND. SO I ENDED UP SEEING DAVID GILMOUR FOR FREE....BEFORE I EVEN KNEW WHO IT WAS. NOT UNTIL FOR THE ENCORES, I THINK HE PLAYED COMFORTABLY NUMB & MONEY..
Blimey, this is a blast from the past. Not one of my favourites, and I prefer the studio version. Never have been keen on the outro - I always skip to the next song when it kicks in (sorry, David).

True it is Pino Palladino on the album but it is Mickey Feat playing in this video.
Thank you so much for this reaction!! This is one my favorite songs and performances by David Gilmour.
This is from his 1984 tour, saw David when he performed in Los Angeles, It was probably the best concert I've ever been to.
I know your love for Comfortably Numb is huge and you've done 4 versions of the song. There's another official video that you must see David Gilmour Comfortably Numb love in Sao Paolo 2015. The audience reaction is special.
The version in this concert is also great.. he invites Nick Mason to play the drums for that song closing the concert.
It's the crowd reaction for me men and women, boys and girls from teenagers to adults knowing every word and actually breaking to the song
The beginning of this solo always amazes me, feels like a thunder striking in, like if the knife was stabbing you right there.
Just for yourselves, listen to the studio version also. The bass solo is a little cleaner. Thanks again for reacting to David's solo stuff.

She is Jody Linscott. She also plays with Mike Oldfield for his live premiere of Tubular Bells 3 in London.

David Gilmour has the good stage presence, beautiful song, and as usually amazing reaction from you both.
Just a little trivia.... Today in 1968, David Gilmour took part in his first concert with Pink Floyd, joining Syd, Roger, Richard and Nick.
What's when he made the most significant modification to the black Strat by installing a Kaller locking tremolo... then, he had to fill the hole to reinstall the original tremolo.
The musicians in this band are well known in their own right: Mick Ralphs, from Bad Company, on guitar, Chris Slade, from AC/DC... Jodi Linscott... with everyone!!
thanks for this. I thought that looked like Mick Ralphs playing the other guitar.
Gilmour and Lennon knew each other. Both Beatles and Pink FLoyd were recording at Abbey Road in the same time amd they also influenced each other. The albums were Sgt Pepper and the PF debut The Piper at The Gates of Dawn. So no surprise if Gilmour felt it badly.

"Out of the Blue" from the same album is just as good!!

I have not seen/heard this song before, so thanks for sharing your reaction.
Between two points! ❤

Mick Ralphs from Bad Company on electric guitar?....Forgot how great his touring band was back then

Poor guy who had to do his guitar solo in front of Mr Hold my beer!
Hello i am french and i love yours french songs react.Please can you react France Gall ( Ella elle l'a and Babacar) thanks 👍
Studio versions of early Gilmour stuff are much better!
Blimey, this is a blast from the past. Not one of my favourites, and I prefer the studio version. Never have been keen on the outro - I always skip to the next song when it kicks in (sorry, David).
Read the book who killed john lennon he was not a fan very odd
