Thanks for clearing that up.
Hello Stacey, I want to send a message. But RUclips just kidding me.😐
Congratulations, you have just heard the greatest guitar solo ever recorded and probably the greatest song ever (in my opinion this is the greatest song ever), this is a masterpiece
Nah Jimmy Page No Quarter live MSG 1973.
@@lyndoncmp5751hardly.
Both are the greatest, arguable.
The greatest reconstruct solo from several recording... I'm a huge fan of the Floyd, but I'm surprised how many fans acts as if it was a "one shot recording"... David Gilmour explained their way of doing "live albums" many times (first time I red him about it was for Delicate Sound of Thunder IIRC), and they EDIT, and REMIX multiple live recording to make the "perfect performance" without any "glitch"... I love it, again, they are my favorite band, but don't exaggerate those "live" as if they were "perfect" each time. This is an 'augmented' version of reality.
NAW, CHAMP. BUT, THAT'S YOUR OPINION. EDDIE VAN HALEN DID THE BEST I'VE SEEN YET. JUST SAYING...
David Gilmour dressed like he just arrived to fix your plumbing, crushing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and acting like it's just a normal Wednesday. Absolute legend.
Also, the album solo is one of the greatest ever, but the solo from the Pulse concert is in a whole different dimension. It's unparalleled. Sheer perfection.
«Sheer perfection.»
Of course: PF lives are remixed and edited from several live recording to make "the perfect one". Nobody heard those "live" actually, because there are somehow "studio" albums (from live recording).
Guitar god. So much emotion.
Saw David do that solo twice in two different states and both were every bit as good this!!! @garryiglesias4074
@@detroitlady7201I'm not saying that the "real live" was not great... I'm saying that their official "live materials" are edited-remastered and "fixed". And actually, I'm not saying it, I repeat what David Gilmour explained a couple of times in interviews (~90's, some of them can only be found on "paper").
I saw them in 94, and they are my favorite band, I don't "diss" them, I try to educated "fanboys" spreading false assumptions on what we see in the video. And to be honest, I consider myself a "better fan" of Pink Floyd because I've documented myself A LOT on them.
@@garryiglesias4074I appreciate the truth. They are still in incredible.
Dude shows up in jeans and a t-shirt and sings with the voice of an angel and then makes a Stratocaster sound like a Stradivarius.
Don’t know whether you heard this but I have a quote I read since you m😮the Stratocaster. It read Fender may have made the Stratocaster but God made David Gilmour to perfect it. I love watching him play, sheer perfection , I’m my opinion
The master
You are right
The quote about Gilmour and the Stradivarius- it’s actually (he’s so good) ‘he can make a Ukulele sound like a Stradivarius’ 😉
Right
Beautiful young girl checks out Pink Floyd for the first time, is immediately moved to tears, knows incstintively not to pause a David Gilmour solo, then wraps up with an eloquent, insightful review of her impressions.
Well damn, that's one insta-subscription for me, thank you very much.
I'm 70. It does me good to see young folks react with pure respect and actually liking my generation's music. It touched my heart that you were so moved by David Gilmour and this song. This song is timeless.
I'm almost 62 now and I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was a teenager. I have "devoured" all the albums. I often borrowed some of the MCs (most people don't know them anymore) from the public library.
This song is my fav. And I'm very proud to have experienced PF live in Venice (1989, July), it was terrific
My kids (22/24) listen to "my" music almost exclusively. They tell me nothing today can compete.
Am 24 and it's one of my fvrt song and band of all time ✨
I'm 41 and grew up listening to my dad's music, which was The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, and a lot of other music of that era and till this day, it still blows my mind just how good it all is.
im in my late 20s and all i can say is your time was THE time to be alive for the peak of music
I'm 71 and my friend this is the pinnacle of REAL MUSIC
It's not. You had 71 years to listen more music, and Pink Floyd is your "the best"? Funny
It is for me too Jerry.
@@garri5108You're fucking weird dude. What do you think is better than this?
You could not be more correct. Screw @garri5108 clown.
@@garri5108 I have a very broad musical taste. Listen to anything from classical music to country to rock to pop to old school heavy metal. I do not agree that Pink Floyd is the pinnacle of music, but I love them very much and certainly respect that many see them that way. Their music is sometimes larger than life.
His guitar made you cry like a child… that´s magic, that´s feeling…that´s art… that´s David Guilmour. The soul of Pink Floyd. Period
I've said it many times over the years... David Gilmour can do more with a single string than many guitarists can with the whole guitar. He is the very definition of the art of Expression!
First solo is the second best live guitar solo ever. The second one is the best ever, period.
“The child is grown, the dream is gone.” Such a sad line.
Have listened to this song thousands of time and today that line caught me deep in the emotions
It is, but it's also the truth!
And such an inevitable truth.
I'm wondering if he saw an angel.
That line hits me hard every time, too, especially since my son is grown now.
a Pink Floyd concert wasn't just a show, it was a life-altering experience.
Amen to that! I saw them in Nashville during the Pulse tour, and it was hands down the greatest concert experience of my life.
I have seen P.F several times from 1970 to 1986(ish), and especially in the early years, it was like a religious experience!
Zen like for sure, you just sit, watch, and listen till the songs are over, transfixed in the moment, crazy good musical experience.
@@shannonmattingly1630I saw the pulse (division bell) tour in Washington DC, best concert I ever saw.
Can confirm lol June 2nd 1994 Vet Stadium in Philadelphia....I still have the ticket!
You asked, "What was that?"
That was a master class of guitar soloing by one of the most talented and amazing musicians who's ever lived. I've never heard anyone who can make a guitar talk to you like David can. When I say "talk", his solos have a sentence-structure to them as if they're telling a story that your heart is compelled to listen to.
Well said.
Indeed. Beautifully articulated. ✨
I don't think there's ever been a more epic moment in rock music than the ending solo here.
Best Ever!
I was there that night, and even now 30yrs on, I still get goose bumps every time I watch this.
I was there too and I will never forget it.
Me too, amazing.
I can't even imagine, I would probably have came in my pants
I was there too - and feel exactly the same!!
Me too!!!! Amazing to be there!
This was the second encore after a 2 hour concert and they performed it like it was the first song. Amazing performance, and the dark (second) solo is one of the best of all time.
I was there. There was two more songs after this. They finished with 'Run like hell'.
The video (and most Pink Floyd live) is composed of several recording on several nights, and edited so it become "perfect". Nobody actual "saw"(/heard) this version "live".
I don't know who told you that but that is incorrect. While the album used tracks from multiple shows, the concert film was shot at a single show in October of '94 . Every video from that film was how it happened at that show. The 2019 reedit left out some songs & changed the order in which some were played, but each song performance is as it happened live.@@garryiglesias4074
@@Stumbler2001 «Unlike the previous live album Delicate Sound of Thunder, no parts of the songs were re-recorded in the studio.[6] However, the band and Guthrie fixed songs that had bad notes (as heard on some bootlegs) by lifting solos and corrected vocal lines from other performances as the band recorded most of the European leg. The album was mixed in QSound, which produces a 3D audio effect even on a two channel stereo system.»
I've read it because I have all material from PF I can have, books, legs, whatever. And ANYWAY, It's on Wikipedia too... And there's nothing saying that the video is not "fixed".
@garryiglesias4074 Why do you keep posting this on every thread?
Especially when she is reacting to the video of the live performance, not the live Pulse album version, so your "citations" are worthless.
I saw this performance live in Denver in '94, and recorded this version live and raw on Pay Per View a couple months later. I still have the tape.
Nothing here was "fixed." 🤦♂️
This is your introduction to Pink Floyd!?! Man... this is actually my favorite song of all time. I cannot hear it without being moved to my core. Welcome to the fandom.
Girl, that is not just a guitar solo, it is THE guitar solo. Comfortably Numb live at Pulse is just an otherworldly level of perfect.
I'm 72 and like so many others have listened to Pink Floyd from their beginning. Their library of music is second to none. They had a way to connect and draw any and every emotion possible. What you describe is what all of us have experienced - breath taking that never goes away. Enjoy this ride, it's one of the best you'll ever take
71 years old, right there with you.
I remember in the early 1970s I went to visit my cousin in Toronto and we did some LSD (orange barrel if memory serves): we were really tripping and he had me lie down so I could listen to this band he had discovered named ‘Pink Floyd‘ (he had a great sound system but no headphones) and he started playing ‘Careful with that axe Eugene‘ and when the scream came he turned the volume up to 11 and I don‘t really think I have ever fully recovered.
I'm 48 and I feel it.
Another 72 year-old here and I 100% concur.
73 year old here, been with Floyd since the first single March 1967. Saw them live for the first time November 1967, on the same bill as Jimi Hendrix. Have every album through to the Wall. Did not buy the final cut as by then they had lost me. Thank god The rest of the guys kept going when Waters left, another era, with two albums and of course the Pulse live album and DVD.@@lindsaymac01
Once you hear David Gilmore play, there is no going back. Fender made the guitar, David Gilmore taught it to cry... Welcome to the family of Pink Floyd. Good to have you with us.
Sometimes I swear he has the frets wrapped around the neck of the guitar for how much he can bend the strings.
*Gilmour
He doesn't play the guitar, he recites poetry with it.
Family? You can't even spell the guys name properly. Gilmour ffs.
He ruined a music for me. After hearing Gilmour, Hendrix, Clapton, Page...they all sounds like amateurs for me.
The pinnacle of great music. You’ve reached the peak of Everest Stacey.
Spot On, and their music is deeper than the Marianas Trench!
The absolute best live concert I ever attended, was when I was in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. Pink Floyd in Berlin Germany as the WALL was being taken down...as the song"another brick in the wall" ROCKED every fan. .. The light show alone was magical, no concert ever brought me so much joy. 💘 🎸 🎶
The pain, sorrow, longing and beauty that comes out of Gilmour’s fingers can bring tears to my eyes. If his playing doesn’t move you, you aren’t paying attention.
The guitar gods smile down on you for not interrupting the solos. Your reaction was priceless and sincere. Welcome to music bliss.
Hello from Germany,
Thank you for your wonderful video. It expresses exactly how I feel about this Pink Floyd performance. It's indescribable, magical, out of this world.
I heard ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ on the radio for the first time when I was 7 or 8 years old. Of course, I couldn't speak English yet and didn't understand a word. But even then, the music triggered something in me that I still can't describe today. I then bought ‘The Wall’ with my pocket money as a child. Now I'm 52, I understand the lyrics...and the music of Pink Floyd still moves me today. When I hear David's guitar, when I hear David's voice, I get goose bumps. Pink Floyd goes so deep into the soul. You can't explain it. Even in over 50 years, the music of Pink Floyd has lost none of its magic. In my opinion, it will never be the same again.
Big praise for your channel. I enjoy watching it. Keep up the good work. :-)
It's very moving for me to see your emotion. For me, this song and especially this Gilmour solo is the most beautiful page in the History of Rock. No one has ever done anything that comes close, not even Gilmour himself, before or since. It was so mesmerizing. God bless you, girl! Thanks!
This guitar solo has been voted the most inspirational guitar solo in history. Ive heard it quite possibly thousands of time and this song still sends shivers up my spine and brings a tear to my eye. Not much in life can do that to me. Absolutely love Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd is not just a musical experience, but a total experience that affects all the senses.
I saw Pink Floyd 5 times. I never came away disappointed. The thing you thought was a flower is actually David’s ride home. No one who can play with that much emotion and precision is not from this planet
I'm 60 and grew upon this music !!! It's awesome to see someone in your generation appreciating such incredible music. I was in high school and this song brings back memories and is very emotional for me also. Great reaction.
The whole stage design and production of this tour was incredible and almost 30 years later it is still unmatched.
I've seen some great stage productions, but I don't think anything will ever surpass this either!
This tour had a lot more, and better Vari-Lites, but the late '80s tour with the space station and the full-color mirror ball that made this one kind of pathetic was a cut above IMO. And the PA system used for Gilmour's last tour was outstanding! I've seen Pink Floyd five times, and David Gilmour solo twice, and cherish each and every time.
totally true
It was definitely fly for 1994. This was before LED lighting, so pulling this off would have been more difficult back then.
@@JohnSmith-ys4nl LED? Surely you jest! That tour used Vari-Lite devices and follow spots that used HID light sources. The lasers, including the one they got from the DOD, e=were also gas discharge. LED is kinda rinky-dink in comparison.
One of the biggest unwritten rules when listening to music, especially Pink Floyd, is to never pause a David Gilmore solo. You somehow knew, instinctively, to let it play without pause. Saying "Oh my God" is perfect because those of us who have heard this song and solo multiple times say the same thing. This is my favorite Pink Floyd song and the solo is, in my opinion, the greatest solo in music history, EVER!
Sorry to be an ass, but if you are gonna lecture about not pausing David´s solo, you could actually research how his surname is spelled correctly ;)
@@svitakl. You tell’em bro. 😎
Dogs? I mean c’mon
@svitakl not to mention, she didn't pause it 😂
You ❤️ will never hear that again ! It's a mosterpiece
I started loving Pink Floyd when I was 12 and I had nobody to share it with my entire youth. All of my friends thought it was boring after I've shown them a song. Even nowadays as a 34 year old, nobody of my friends appreciates it. That's why it feels great to see you like it, thanks!
This song has so much meaning. The vocals tell the story, of depression, drug abuse, not feeling really anything. Yet the guitar crys out for help, for someone, anyone to understand his pain. I think all those who have been hurt badly, suffered from depression, or experienced a very close death can understand this feeling very well. It takes time, and time can heal all wounds or aleast nunb them so you feel happiness again
That guitar solo is rated as one of the THE BEST Solos EVER! It's not fast or flashy, it is 10000% heartfelt
I'll take this over Eddie's solo, EVERYDAY!!!!!
No contest - David Gilmour solo here is the absolute HIGHTIDE for guitar music. And I am a huge fan of the likes of Tony Iommi. Ritchie Blackmore, Emmpu, Hendrix, Liefson, Eddie van H et al.
voted the best all time.
@@kevinressler242 yeah that's what I was implying lol I got to see Roger Waters live, but wish it would have been Gilmore instead!
Couldn't find the right words to describe the soloing, but you did! Mr. Gilmore one of the best to ever do it!🤘
This is an iconic performance. Wait until you listen to the entire album Dark Side Of The Moon, and you have to listen to the entire album in one sitting. According to Billboard, the album remained on its charts for a whopping 972 weeks (roughly over 18 years).
I was going to suggest that she sit in a dimly lit room, maybe a glass of wine by her side. Earphones on and listen - no just let the music take you away. Dark Side is beyond amazing.
What charts?! It is the greatest musical creation without them.
I hear this solo at least once a year for the last what? 40 year? And it makes me cry every time. The sheer sadness, the deep pain, the immense sorrow ... No one has made the guitar feel like this. No shredder, no guitar hero, no genius has never been so deeply emotional in a solo than David Gilmour. That is why he is the best. My apologies for my poor English; my mother tongue is Portuguese.
in 1987 I went to the Pink Floyd concert, it was so good that I bought four more tickets and went next day again with friends. I saw many concerts, but that one from 1987 is still the best with sound and the all visual effects for me. Thanks for your tears Stacey!
You're emotional reaction was as beautiful as David Gilmour's playing! Blessings to you, friend!
Aww thank you!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@@StaceyRPGReacts new subs 😎👍 Next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate sound of Thunder concert 1988 - 1990 ) 🎸🎶🎶
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a Pink Floyd show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
Wow, Cynthia Fox and the mighty met - kmet, you just took me back big time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
She was so fine in all black leather at the show I shook her hand and I sat next to "Raul' The Remote Sound Man"@@Zoso-lz8ov
Amazing story. Brush with greatness!
Seeing Pink Floyd live for the very first time for many of us is a real spiritual experience. I had never heard of the band but they were playing the University of Denver's Field House (capacity 4K) and my brother Mike already a fan, talked us into going to their show. It was 1972 and Meddle was their latest album. Tickets were 8-10 USD?
When they started playing we knew immediately we were hearing something very special. Not only were they incredible musician with terrific songs, they had a light and sound system that just blew us away. After every song the whole place was standing and cheering at the top of our lungs. We knew we were hearing magic.
When they started Echos you could have heard a pin drop in the arena and no one was
talking it was completely silent while they performed. We we were in church and everyone was showing reverence.
The following summer (July 3 1973) I saw them again in Tampa Fla right after Dark Side of the Moon was released and there was an unruly crowd of 60K fans at the concert. Unfortunately that crowd diminished the magic.
As fabulous as their albums are, seeing and hearing them live is something else.
My story? 21 years old sitting in my living room and a mate turns up with Wish You Were Here and says, "hey man, listen to this".
And we did. And it blew me away. So much so that I listened to it again immediately. Thus began a journey of musical enlightenment that's never been matched ever since.
To watch a newbie as it were discovering Floyd like I did is wonderful.
I am 67 years old Stacey, and I Loooove listening to new reactors experiencing Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Every time I listen/watch this performance, It brings me to tears. Happy, and uplifting tears they are. It is just a sensory overload of emotions every time. THE SOLO, is to me, and I'm sure many others is the greatest thing of all time. Thank you so much for the shared experience. To enjoy this music, you don't always have to dissect every note, every beat. I thoroughly enjoy your reactions always. You just get it. You enjoy music for the feeling and joy it brings your heart and your soul. 🤗
ME 2 its music that can still bring a tear to my eyes even when ive lost count how many times ive heard it
I'm glad you 3 got a fleeting glimpse.
"Each and every time that humans speak, our thoughts are simultaneously BROADCAST
in a much richer way than can be fit into words."
No belief included, I simply remember before being taught verbal language, mama and dada.
Learn the language of your newborns & you learn to care about each other just as you care about yourselves.
I got a lot more than a fleeting glimpse, so I can explain more whenever requested.
I'm sitting here in 2024 with tears watching her beautiful reaction to the best song in the world
David Gilmour cracks open emotions through his voice and his guitar playing that you are not prepared for. They overwhelm you. Pink Floyd is the most brilliant band ever. It's a deep, deep rabbit hole and one you may never recover from. Great reaction (from a 40+ yr fan)!
I've always said the light show isn't really a light show it is Dave ripping open the fabric of the space time continuum.
I am a musician, music can move you in many way's. I am also a Pink Floyd fan. The first time I really heard the band was I was in a band that played a couple of songs. This song was one of them. The guitar solo, the final one was voted best solo ever recorded. Musicians tend to change solo's depending how they are playing it. There was a charity event where the original band got together except Keyboardist Richard Wright who passed away in 2008. They played 4 songs, and one of them was Comfortably Numb. I like this particular solo better. The charity show was called LIVE 8. It is on RUclips. You can watch their performance, or an individual song. I like your reactions. They are very authentic. As much as you love music, maybe you should learn an instrument. You will get so much more out playing songs in front of people. It's a huge joy for me.
There may be more technically proficient guitarists, but NOBODY plays like David Gilmour. Every note he plays is pure emotion.
Every Pink Floyd song takes you to a place you didn’t know existed.
Although it’s a different place for each person, it’s also a place you want to revisit over and over again ! ❤️❤️
I turn 65 next week. Been lovin Pink Floyd since I was in high school in the 70's. One of my favorites of all time.
first time hearing PF I was in music class at age 11 and the Teacher wanted to play a new song that just came out called "Money" from DSOTM and then she questioned the class on what we thought of it, btw I'm almost 62 now, I still remember sitting in class listening to it.
Pink Floyd's music is LEGENDARY and their concerts are met to overwhelm your senses. Relax sit back and let the music and visuals take you away!Been listening to them since the "high times" of the early 1970's and it still takes me to another place...
I am 41 and found them when I was in my early teens back in the early/mid 90ies, going through local 2nd hand record stores in my hometown along with my best friend. I ended up being infatuated with them and bought everything they ever released. even bootleg releases and different versions etc.
My music taste has evolved and expanded alot since then, and I have seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts durig the past 3 decades... The definetly made me love exploring what music can be!
The best chill music Cheers
Even though I’ve heard this song countless times over the decades, your reaction caused me to weep right along with you, as if hearing it for the first time. Thank you!
Awww this made my day!! Thank you for crying with me ❤️
Same. I'm over here crying my eyes out. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. This was such a touching reaction. Thank you for what you've done here.
Me too. This Song is so Deep and I don’t Cry often, But David Gilmours Comfortably Numb got me every time. So emotional and I can’t do nothing against it.
What a beautiful introduction to Pink Floyd, and so good to see that after all these years....decades...their music still touches the soul of a new generation. There is still hope :). On a somewhat more recent - but still prog rock style - level, I would like to strongly suggest taking a look at two Steven Wilson videos: "The Raven That Refused To Sing, and "Drive Home". Love to see your first time reactions.
I'm envious of you getting to hear this for the first time.. I remember how I felt and I can understand the elation you're feeling
Welcome to the greatest band ever!!!!! I saw this concert in 1994 and, hands down, the GREATEST night of my life!
That’s the exact feeling I had listening to this song in my bedroom with the headphones on, and that was the album, the live performance is amazing
I'm an avid fan of Pink Floyd, but the title of "greatest band ever" is reserved on the top shelf, for The Beatles.
@@gribwitchtoo each their own.
I cry every time I hear the “When I was a child a caught a fleeting glimpse, I turned to look, but it was gone…the child has grown the DREAM IS GONE!!”
Your reaction to hearing David's voice for the first time almost brought me to tears.
Probably the most moving lyrics for me. When he states “When I was a child” shatters me every time.
This is a masterpiece Stacey, you just experienced what true artistry and what it took to become a legend is all about. Their music is EPIC and surreal. Please check out more of their music. I do suggest "Time" as the next one. Nice reaction.
"Time" is a great one! I second this :)
"TIME" is a must. The lyrics are some of the most powerfully relatable words that have ever been set to music.
My husband said Wish You Were Here. Only because every time he hears it it reminds him of his dad. He spent 27 months 17 days in a Chinese POW Camp when he fought in Korea.
Comfortably Numb is one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever composed. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. This never gets old. Ever. It speaks to something that we all know and cannot be expressed in any other way. This is why it touches you in the way that it does, Stacey.
Music - real music is a language all its own. Extraordinary musicians like David Gilmour can communicate their inner experiences as few can today. Gilmour’s guitar appears to be connected directly to his soul. Some musicians can manage that for a few moments. For Gilmour, it’s his natural state of being. It is unmistakable and cannot be faked.
Very astute and I recommend the David Bowie “Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)” medley from the Diamond Dog album. I think you’ll experience it much the same way.
It's such a shame that the composer of the song isn't there. Floyd were never the same or as good after Roger Waters departure.
The year was 1977, was an 18 year old Army private in Germany. Didnt know jack about much. Found somemoney to but a stereo found Pink Floyd Pyramid Album never stoped listening.
Very well said, Ward. The song is a lamentation of the loss of childhood, dreams, caring, and a reality where any of that even matters.
There will never be another Pink Floyd…. Timeless music
I love your reaction. It’s absolutely pure. It reminds me how out of this world these guys are. I’ve listened to so much pink Floyd and it can take you right off the planet. I’m sure you’re an instant fan. Be sure to check them out in depth. PS I was 15 years old tripping on lsd the first time I remember hearing them. The whole trip was the wall album. My god, it was unreal.
I'm 64 and delighted that someone so young gets this sublime music. Go girl! And this is my favourite band by far. No one touches them. Let the music take you to another world ❤
As you hear more and more of their music you will be transformed! Sorrow, high hopes, dogs, and virtually EVER SINGLE piece of music they created is brilliant. Their lyrics are of à wisdom that is well beyond their years. You're view of music and art just changed forever.
I went saw it all with a group of friends and it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen...I swear we didn't blink from the start. The sound was absolutely huge, but as clear as a bell. It took you over and for 2.5 hours you went 'Somewhere else"...I'll never forget that experience as long as i live and it's awesome to watch young peoples reactions when they experience the very best of the best..Make some time to watch the whole "Pulse" concert from the beginning...Your comment at the end took me back...One of the girls with us also discribed the whole concert as 'Orgasmic'...A very special night it was...It still brings goosebumps..even at 64....
Sorry for the long ramble, this makes me happy knowing you felt something that iv felt. This literally made me cry hearing it and watching you experience this amazing music for the first time. I first got into Pink Floyd while taking Thursday trips to the bowling alley that my childhood friends family owned. I would always hear Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 on the way there and as I got older I began listening to more and more. The first album I owned was The Wall. All this was becoming a huge part of my life as they were playing the Pulse Tour and the song that you just watched. I have grown to truely appreciate music and people through the journey of hearing their beautiful music and interacting with others through the many ups and downs of my life. Things change, regress, evolve, go away, come back, but the one thing I know that I will always have in my life to pull me back in is the music of Floyd. They are absolutely my favorite band and I have always been inspired by my father who plays guitar but also David Gilmour who is just a genius for his control and ability to move people with his tones, and not even that I think he's the best guitarist in the world because he's really not, but he knows exactly what he's doing to invoke very specific feelings in people through the work and sound he can produce. If you love Pink Floyd as much as me or if you are still feeling jealous that you didn't get to see them in concert, well, two things ..one, while.it may not be Pink Floyd, David Gilmour is going to be touring again real soon because he's about to drop a new album and probably his last, and I highly recommend you spend as much as it requires to go see him because it will probably be your last opportunity. I traveled to New York which for me was like 8 hrs drive, but I got tickets to see both of his shows both nights at Madison Square Garden and sat almost front row for the second show and it was the most amazing experience of my life. Between the vibe, the music, nostalgia and just having all that in common with these people that surrounded me for those few short hours just truly made me happy to be alive. Unfortunately things in my life have been very very difficult lately and I doubt I'd be able to make his tour this time but I will be grateful forever that I was able to see him last time. Sure he played his own music, but most of what he played was Pink Floyd it was basically a Pink Floyd concert and his band is tight some of them were backups for Pink Floyd. I also highly recommend you check out a band called Brit Floyd if you haven't heard of them check them out. They were endorsed by David Gilmour years ago and he even invited them to play at his 60th birthday lol. They played then as the Australian Pink Floyd Show but then like the real band they had a falling out and split up and one half of the band stayed as the Australian Pink Floyd and the other half of the band became Brit Floyd which I believe is the better of the two and has the most top notch and amazing production quality as Pink Floyd themselves you can't get any more top notch than Brit Floyd, you would think you were at a Pink Floyd concert if you'd really didn't know who they were. Well that's all for me hope I have given you some useful and positive information that nobody else has yet but I haven't read through all your comments!! thanks for hearing me out peace love respect and keep the Good Vibes going. 👍 🥰🥳
Pink Floyd has been for me one of the best bands of all time. It's not even music, it's an experience. It is a journey beyond the senses, a walk through the subconscious, a projection of your being towards the universe and beyond... it is a feeling so vivid that it is impossible to explain but it is easy to experience. This entire concert is a work of art and David Gilmour does without a doubt one of the longest but at the same time most beautiful solos you can ever hear. I'm glad to know that more people are listening and reacting positively to this band that, as I mentioned, is the best of all time.
👍👍💯💯
Seeing this performance Live was the greatest experience 5 years prior to this “ Pulse “ show. Veterans Stadium in Philly 1989 during the “ Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour among 70,000 amazed fans. B st concert among hundreds seen in my 63 years. Great reaction!! New subscriber.
My wife and I have seen Pink Floyd three times. Once in the 70's, once in the '80s, and once in the '90s. No one puts on a show like them. Great reaction and thank you for not pausing during one of the greatest guitar solos of all times.
After all of these years, I bought this when I was a teen when it came out, but I still cry when I hear this song. Your reaction was just wonderful in how authentic and sincere you were. I just found your channel today, as the video of you reacting to Dogs from Animals was recommended. So, because I was so impressed with that reaction I was curious to find the video where you first listened to Pink Floyd.
My first thought was "wow, she picked a very powerful and emotional song for her first listen, this will be an amazing experience for her". Welcome to Pink Floyd's timeless music!
One of the band's most emotional tracks. When the guitar solo begins, it triggers feelings in me that go back and forth between fascination and sadness. I don't know of any live solo that touches me as much as this one. In addition, David's voice and the rest of the arrangement complete this incredibly brilliant song. Thanks for this great reaction.
Pink Floyd are one of those bands that stands alone in a genre of their own. In 100 years people will still be listening to them. I can't think of many bands like that, Led Zeppelin and Queen spring to mind.
Dire Straits perhaps?
The beatles?????
@@ronbr9792 Their manager admitted the 12,000 DS fans attending their concert at Wembley Arena would all have preferred to be across the road in the stadium watching Live Aid.
Great observation and I think you are right, Mozart, Beethoven…..Pink Floyd…awesome
Staci, I’m 62 and have enjoyed this song since I first heard it many years ago. Seeing your reaction reminds me that there is a generation out there that still appreciates the art of fine music and musicians. Thanks
I've been a pink Floyd fan since thier Meddle album 1971 .
I have every album / C.D.
Went to 7 concerts and evrytime I hear any of thier incredible pieces of music it's like I'm hearing it for the first time my #1 favorite band and always will be .Incredible .
Great work on the video. You're very articulate and express yourself well .. My favorite part is just after the "Pin Prick" which your reaction is sweet, then the arch glows mega bright and immediately grabs your attention and your expression turns to complete captivation which seems like "forever". Pink Floyd billed themselves on being a "Sound & Light Show" back in the 60's. One of the 1st to experiment with stage lighting which has taken us to where concerts designs are today .. I'm here for a reaction, but didn't expect that 😀 . .
I'm 51. I think this is the singular greatest moment in rock history. 40 years in and it never changes the way I feel listening to it.
The birth of a new Pink Floyd fan. They plug straight into your soul in almost every song. Listen to The Wall, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here ..... your density awaits
And DSOTM”
Glad you enjoyed it God created us and music so that it can deeply impact our soul and spirit.
Although the first guitar solo was outstanding, the second one is considered by most people, one of the two greatest guitar solos of all time.
Those are all super deep, if you are a new listener and want fun guitar and still very deep vocals, brain damage/eclipse will blow your mind. The whole dark side of the moon got remastered recently, the whole album is 45 minutes so it's an easy listen.
I was there like hundreds of thousands that tour, and I´m pretty sure a lot of us still remember it as the greatest number played that evening. Gosh, it´s 30 years ago already and still gives me goosebumps every time I watch this.....
You definitely picked the right song to begin your odyssey of listening to Pink Floyd, this is arguably their finest moment musically. An incredible live performance too!
What is so heartbroken for me, as a middle age man, is that the youngsters of today start listening to this amazing Masterpiece which came out 4 Decades ago, and in reality this legend of a guitarist, today is almost 80 years old, and still on the go
What's heartbreaking for me is that the singer blames Ukrainians for defending themselves against genocide and declares Taiwan as part of China. Waters has become a dangerous and influential contrarian and a complete parody of himself.
Yeh, wrong bloke mate. This was without Roger Water You are listening to Dave Gilmour. Opposite views on life.
@@Winter-CIG Roger Waters was not playing in this video. He is no longer part of PF. The guitarist is David Gilmour. Rogers Waters is a genius but now tripped into madness.
David Gilmour is literally one of the best guitar players the world has ever seen. Embrace his emotion, and yes he is a pretty good singer.
Yes along with Prince.
I was barely 12 years old when I first heard Pink Floyd,later on i heard Comfortably Numb and it brought me to tears hearing it for the first time and nobody could understand why I reacted this way....and neither could I.I am now 63 years old and I react the same way to this song...in fact,the entire PULSE concert.I can simply not listen to only one song in isolation.It becomes an entire experience every time I listen and watch PULSE!
I had the great priviledge of a 3rd row seat in the VIP section for Pink Floyd in San Diego. David Gilmore was about twenty feet from me for much of the show, including this song. Surreal.
Seeing this live in 94 will forever be one of my favorite moments in my life.
same. best time of my life. Seeing them play the songs that got me though all the saddest parts of my life? How do you thank a band for that?
I have heard this song dozens and dozens of time, and I still get emotional when I heard it and see it...welcome to the club
I’ve never heard a Pink Floyd song - then proceeds to tackle maybe the most mesmerizing single song performance in their whole existence
I am also 71 and Pink Floyd were and still are one of my all time faves. We are so lucky to grow up with this great music!!!
I have no idea how many times I’ve heard this song and that solo, yet every single time the hair tingles on the back of my neck and tears well up in my eyes.
I was lucky enough to be there with my brother, I cannot express in words how great the concert was, all I can say is that it was and still is the greatest day of my life.
Stacey, you have been enriched and enlivened by the soulfulness and passion of Pink Floyd that I discovered many years ago. Shine on you crazy diamond!
Absolute masterclass from Gilmour, still to this day, up there as one of the greatest songs & show ever made 🇬🇧
This was from the Division Bell Tour in 1994.
I saw them on that tour on April 14 in San Diego in Jack Murphy Stadium.
The crowd was 51,610 people. The average ticket price for the show was $30.
I basically had the worse seats in the house, 4 rows from the last row - furthest from the stage.
But still, it was the best concert I ever saw.
The big takeaways were the sound of Gilmour’s guitar and the light show.
I still can’t believe how good the band sounded from those terrible seats.
Thank you for the reaction. Great stuff.
Consider watching “Sorrow” live from the same (Pulse DVD) concert.
I saw them in Cleveland for Division Bell ,,,,great show. Philadelphia for Learning to Fly,,,,,💥💥💥👍😎
What I wouldn't give to go back in time and see them from the worst seats in the house! Glad you had the opportunity.
I caught the Division Bell tour at Arrowhead in KC. No concert before or since has lived up to the experience of that show.
Sorrow is actually my favorite performance from Pulse.
I was also there the concert was phenomenal! when the disco ball came down and i looked around the stage i could see those lights like stars! Best concert of my Life!!! even better than Roger Waters the Wall 2010 and i was at that one also.
But Pulse was the best of them all!
Saw them in KCMO in 1994 and it was the most emotional out of body experience I have ever had. Seeing this brings back every emotion I felt that night. It brings me to tears every time. I did not want that concert to ever end. When it did I was speechless and numb in the best way possible.
I saw them play this live at Wembley Stadium London in 1988. I was 16. I can still remember everything about that concert to this day. I'm so pleased I went.
I first heard PF when I was 14. A friend was playing the Wall album. Strange to think it had only been released about 5 years before. It all seems such a long time ago now.
Your reaction here was wonderful 😊
David Gilmour...The greatest guitar solo in history. It leaves you absolutely breathless.
Jimmy Page dazed and confused live solo from tsrts vid is kick ass too.
Don't know if this is the greatest, but it certainly is one of the greatest... no question.
One of the greatest solos. No one can claim definitively because tastes vary, but for me that title goes to Tornado of Souls by Megadeth.
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is now 50 years since recording the musical masterpiece. A must listen album. Seeing them live in concert is the ultimate 🎶
Saw them in 1994 Vancouver BC.Best live performance ever.I remember the giant mirror ball opening up as the solo was going there wasn’t a person sitting all 60,000.We were all covered with tiny dots of colored lights reflecting from the flower which was hit with light.My girlfriend at the time and I had the goosebumps and I’m sure thousands of others as well.The whole show was amazing in every way.The sound,stage,and of course the music of Pink Floyd.I think that year was their last tour and I am so grateful I got to see them live.Good times for sure 😎
Pink Floyd and especially this solo, hits you on a visceral level. It is virtually impossible not to be swept along on an emotional ride.
There is Pink Floyd, and then there are the ordinary bands; the members of Pink Floyd seem more like wizards meticulously producing something, like scientists in a laboratory-something that cannot be described in words. They have the ability to make us cry simply by contemplating the beauty of the music they create. They've been my favorite band since my adolescence. I used to walk to school in 1998 listening to the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' on my Walkman. I had the opportunity this year to attend a concert by one of the band members, Roger Waters. I've never cried so much at a show. This band will always be very special to me.
I’ve loved this song for decades. I’ve listened to it while sad & lonley, while on top of the world, at the end of my rope and while high as the sky. I now live on a beautiful island and regularly listen to it, in love and on the beach, loving life🩵. Enjoy the PF rabbit hole my friend✌🏻
Gentofte, Denmark, late 80's. I was 18 years old. I had been listening to Pink Floyd for some years at the time and was totally hooked. Their stage performance with everything that was going blew me away like when a huge pig was floating above us. I've been a huge fan for my entire life. I remember a sax player who had three saxophones hangin by straps around his neck through the song Sheep, where he shifted saxophone for tones up and down - was amazing.
For more feels, On the Turning Away is great musically and lyrically it tells a potent story of how poorly humans can treat each other, but there's always hope to be better. Hard to go wrong with any song from the Pulse Concert, it's a master class in musical and visual creation. It's nice to know that after 50+ years, the younger generation can appreciate the beauty of this band. I've been listening to them since the late 70" and will listen to them till the day I leave this mortal realm.
I saw the show live in '94 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, I was exactly 30 years old.
I have known Pink Floyd since the summer of '73 and my first contact was with the amazing The Dark Side Of The Moon, I was nine years old and I was struck forever: their music was imprinted in my flesh and in my "soul". They were the soundtrack of my life.
Then came Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Supertramp, Emerson Like & Palmer, King Krimson and so on up to classical music.
But leave Pink Floyd to the sky: they are the Gods, everything else flows below.
Congratulations for the video and your genuine reaction
