“This has to be crazy in concert.” Ha, ha, ha! You don’t know the half of it.
See now I really gotta check out some live versions Lol!
@@abovetheinfluence9361 It is amazing in concert, the live version in the pulse concert is widely regarded as having the best guitar solo of all time. The solo alone lasts for 6mins and the lighting is incredible. Just an all round all time classic performance! ruclips.net/video/7kWl-ZGMwkQ/видео.html
By the way, the lead guitarist is David Gilmore
@@dantastic6262 Absolutely. The Pulse performance is fucking legendary
@@dantastic6262 Oh yeah, Pulse version, without question, is THE best live version!
Although, the recent one from Pompeii is also amazing! ruclips.net/video/eHKG7EMxWW8/видео.html
One more vote for Pulse, definitely the best guitar solo ever. You speculated that it was abut drugs. This is an except from the book "Mama Mia Let Me Go": "In an interview released in the 80s, (Roger) Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band."
Dave Mustaine of Megadeth once said “David Gilmour can do more with one note than most other guitar players can do with the whole fretboard”
Probably the most concise description of DG I've heard.
Dave Mustaine is the God of all gingers! I LOVE that man!!! His lyrical abilities are amazing!
Yeah. I sat down and learned Comfortably Numb (album version not Pulse) and it is interesting... learning the notes is pretty easy it's all based around the minor pentatonic, but getting the pinch harmonics, vibrato, hitting every bend exactly and just the whole phrasing and feel is another story entirely.
👍
That's the truth!!
The lyrics were inspired by Roger Waters, the bassist, and one of the vocalists. Prior to a concert in 77, he became ill with stomach pains. The doctor gave him a muscle relaxer injection. This made his body feel numb to where he could barely move his arms to play. They still had a successful concert so while feeling numb, he felt comfortable. As a child, he was ill with a fever and his hands felt just like they felt during the concert.
Ohhh wow... That’s incredible he was able to craft such a life experience into such a beautiful song! Thanks so much for the info Grant! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It gets more intense. The album this is from, "The Wall", is a complete (more or less) life rendering. "The Wall" , "Animals", Wish You Were Here", and "Dark Side Of The Moon" are meant to be listened to in their entirety. Just what Floyd did. There was a movie made for "The Wall". More like a 1 1/2 hr music video. There are no spoken lines except for one blurb where the "Teacher" recites poetry that the young boy was writing during class and it's the lyrics to Money, another Pink Floyd song. Pretty cool. Floyd's catalog and story is a deep, deep rabbit hole to jump down. I think you'll find it satisfying if you take the plunge.
Hey now. Yeah, you're probably due for the rabbit-hole. Floyd's existence is, like many bands with decades of work, characterized by different periods, and members as well. This iteration may well be the "best" by many standards, and it was a bestseller for, well, decades as a result.
@@abovetheinfluence9361 This incident is dramatized in the movie `The Wall`. Starring Bob Geldof.
I suffer from anxiety/ depression and was prescribed a drug to smooth out the highs and lows. As a child I has panic attacks, I was later (in my 50s) diagnosed with Autism and they looked for a drug to help me. My autism gives me the inability to cope due to an overload of senses. They looked for a drug to help with this and realised I was already taking it. The drug sertraline is also used for PTSD. If you watch the film it is after this that his personality changes and he starts to build the wall( to protect himself from the outside world?). it is certainly an interesting song. I though I would give you a different perspective. Sometimes it's not all about "oh he's high".
Mr Fender created the Stratocaster, David Gilmour was created to play it.
Best string bender EVER!
Gilmour, Hendrix, Blackmore
Perfectly put.✌️😊
@@MotoKringles No Clapton?
@@theshine2 nope
Now do yourself a huge favour and watch this same song live at the Pulse concert...it will blow your mind!
i see you in like every Pink Floyd reaction video lol
@@jocke4568 What can I say...I'm a die hard fan.
Same here... I have watched every single Pink floyd reaction uploaded on youtube in the past 2 years.
Or the Live 8 performance from 2005
Skip the Pulse version and listen to the best version in my opinion: ruclips.net/video/4hBqKCcpBrA/видео.html&ab_channel=ChristForte
The guitar you heard was sold at auction in 2019 and became the most expensive guitar in the world until 2020. It’s now the now second highest at $3.9 million. David Gilmour (Pink Floyd singer and lead guitarist) donated all the money to charity.
Thats amazing.
Its not just because of who's guitar it was and what song was recorded with it. But the serial number is 0001. First one made that year/series. Truly a unique piece of history
@@anthonyscott4547 the Black Strat which sold for 3.9 million was a 1971 Strat and sold for that much because, well, it was The Black Strat, quite probably the most famous guitar ever and the only one that has had a book published about it The 0001 Strat is white - a different guitar entirely.
@@alisonanthony4960 you are right. My bad. But I think the most famous guitar in the world has to be Stevie Ray Vaughan's "number one" or BB King's "Lucille".
To be honest by a short margin I'd rather have Gilmour's guitar than Hendricks.
The lyrics production and musicianship of this band is off the charts. Each song is an experience, each album a journey. Check out "Time" by them next.
"Time" seems to be extremely popular... should be doing that one real soon!
@@abovetheinfluence9361 If you want a truly special experience, do "Time" and "Great Gig in the Sky" together (one flows into the next) or just the whole first side of the Dark Side of the Moon in one video, and a second video for side two!
Pink Floyd is timeless heavenly music that will NEVER grow old
David Gilmour on the lead guitar is probably in my eye the greatest guitarist ever.
How can there possibly be 'the greatest guitarist ever'? Yes, Gilmour is great!, but is he greater than Carlos Santana?, Stevie Ray Vaughn?, Eric Clapton?, Johnny Winter?, Eddie Van Halen?, Buddy Guy?, Jimi Hendrix?, Prince?, and other legends?? In my brain they are all the greatest guitarists, and in my ear they are all top shelf! Each one of the musicians could never play exactly like another.....
he truly is
CE Beidler Good eye.👁🗨
@@cl8onj388 😂
Yes indeed. My favorite player of all. CNumb solo is an absolute masterpiece.
David gilmour kills this solo. One of my favorites of all time.
The greatest melodic guitar solo ever made.
Mr David Gilmour is the most talented guitar player in history.
And yes in concert... Comfortably Numb (from the album The Wall) at the Pulse Concert the solo at the end will blow your mind.
If you want to see how to end a show, then also from the album The Wall - Pulse Concert - Run Like Hell😉
I always love a good solo! Shall definitely add it to the list! Thanks Phil!
i absolutely love how music paints a different picture in everyones minds, pink floyd were one of a kind, if you listened to their earlier stuff which was musical experimantation, you wouldnt think this was the same guys, they were all a master of their crafts, shame we dont have the same musicianship and creativity as much nowadays.
You'll have to go to places like Soundcloud to find it. The same people of Pink Floyd's generation worked out the formulas to get the most return on their artist investment, which is why so much commercial music today has no rhythm or pitch variations, a trap beat and non verbal vocalisations. It means each new song sounds enough like the last hit that cognitive ease takes over and that familiarity (the same thing that means we like music from our own youth) results in lots of playtime and sales.
I think we ha e the musicianship, but we definitely dont celebrate it as much.
When taken out of context from the rest of the album, Comfortably Numb is like starting a movie half way through.
You are wrong.. this song is not great in concert ..it's epic... PULSE
“The strings”
Yes yes yes you’re the only one of two people reacting to this song to pickup on that! Much love from the far north of New Zealand!
The best way to truly appreciate this song is to hear it loud on a good set of speakers, and listen to it over and over, each time concentrating on one instrument at a time, and then when you listen to it all together your mind will pick out all the things you didn't hear the first time. It is too much to take in just hearing it once.
ATI : "i like how hes keeping all his notes low registered not taking it up high"
Me:.Wait for it
While Gilmour says “Hold my beer....”
@@jasonconley7362 ***his pint
😂
David Gilmore didn’t just play the guitar he put emotion and feelings into your soul. I was 20 years old when I first saw Pink Floyd in the mid 70’s. 1969 my grandmother, God rest her soul, gave me my first Floyd album and CCR’s first album. This was before Gilmore joined but sparked my interest. I never thought they would progress from a psychedelic band to rock gods. Back then, the hippies were right. Grandma, thank you so much. You changed my life in so be many ways.
“Who’s this lead guitarist?” Hmmmmmm. He’s the reason the Stratocaster exists.
😁😁yassss
I could argue, Fender might have thought of Roger, but that would be like arguing between Ruth and Gehrig...Roger is as close to the top as anyone still breathing!
David Gilmore
David Gilmour is awesome. No matter how many times I listen it pure gold!
Check out the pulse live version
Just added it to my list! I know they have to sound amazing live! 🙌🏾
@@abovetheinfluence9361 They sound even better live if you can believe such a thing....Pink floyd is one of the few(if any) bands that sound better live than on wax....
For me.......Pompeii
I couldnt begin to define this song, other than how it meant to me, growing up. I think that's how it is...a personal song for all of us.
Watch the live concert Pulse. It has an extended guitar solo of this song that IS the best ever. The show as a whole is incredible. Amazing light show also.
Great observation "Is this suppose to be some kind of demon talking to him? It's a sinister feeling." I haven't heard anyone describe the verse like that but that's exactly how I felt when I first heard it lol
That voice kinda reminded me of the guy speaking at the end of Michael Jackson's "Thriller"... that dark feeling to it lol
dumb name
"Comfortably Numb" and "Mother" have the two best tailored solo's out there. They fit their songs seamlessly like few others I have heard.
I love how all these reaction videos have a picture of the dark side of the moon album. 😁😁😁😁
Check out “Time” and “Wish you were here” Go down the Floyd rabbit hole!
Pink Floyd albums are from a time when you were expected to listen to them all the way through.
If you’re going down the Pink Floyd reaction hole I’d suggest you record one long reaction to the whole album then break it up into songs. It’ll make more since.
And watch the movie along with the sound track
Yes
@@mcclurecl Meaning the Wizard of Oz, right? Because that’s the movie I watch with the album.
@@ryanmarshall3487 wrong album that's dsotm
'Maybe this is what addiction feels like?' Had never thought about it like that, but its a great point
Pink floyd is music as an art form, their lyrics are philosophy and glimours guitar playing sounds like pure emotion
In concert, saw them live in 1994. Pretty much when they finished this I was on cloud 9, and cried tears of joy at the guitar solo. It was amazing.
David Gilmore plugs his guitar into his soul and touches heaven.
"This had to be crazy in concert." Funny you mention that...
I saw this concert live in L.A.- I feel so lucky to have experienced it-
I saw it in NY, Nassau Coliseum. 27 Feb 1980. My ticket stub is in my scrap book. David on top of The Wall was super killer.
Close you eyes and crank those headphones. You are listening to a masterpiece.
This is from "The Wall", the movie is worth the watch and gives all the songs additional context. The "main character" is a rock star and at this point he's strung out in his hotel room before a concert. The 'Demon" voice you refer to is the doctor trying to get him up and ready for the show. the other voice is him responding. The show must go on, they don't care about him, just the money he makes for them.
see them live , react to Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb .. live to Pulse concert 1994 .. best live guitar solo .. or high hopes , or Coming back to life ,,
Pompeii 2016 version is better IMO
Glad you like this - I've been a fan since 1978 - You mentioned how the lead sounded like blues - did you know the band's name Pink Floyd came from the combination of 2 old school blues guitarist? They are Pinkney “Pink” Anderson and Floyd Council. “Pink Floyd” was paying respect to where Rock & Roll came from - the Blues :-)
Saw the "Animals" tour and the "Wish you were here" tour. Crazy in concert doesn't even begin to describe it.
Also react to Time...with the lyrics...very deep and meaningful song that you WILL appreciate. You can thank me later.
The song makes me think of addiction. The first voice is the doctor and the second is the addict.
In the movie he has a concert that night but I think he's in psychosis, I forget if its drug induced or not.
David Gilmour goes deep into your soul with his guitar work. He doesn’t do it with fast fingers like some of these headbangers, he slides and stretches those strings with all his heart.
I wish I could listen to this album for the first time again.
You always seem to have the freshest, truest reactions! Your energy is just..WOW.
Pink Floyd wrote with albums in mind, so the beginning is a transition from one song to another....they do this constantly. Two singers in this song, Roger Waters and then David Gilmour.
I love the spoken part when the doctor says.... you’ll feel a little pin prick (ping!), there’ll be no more ‘aaaaarhhhhhggghh’, which is the pain/bad feeling. No one seems to react to this. Even in the video when the stage lights up at ‘aaaarrrggggh’.
Timeless. They moved music forward generations
This is my first time on your channel. That was a good reaction! I'd like to make a double request, "Time", and "The Great Gig in the Sky". You can't do one without the other. It will help in describing "Comfortably NUMB."_
Actually you should listen from the start of the album through Great Gig In The Sky in one sitting. It makes a lot more sense and it will BLOW you away.
Can you kill two birds with one stone. You won't be sorry!! You will be a true PF fan
Listen to Great Gig in the Sky, that song has got SOUL
Great Gig in the Sky is otherworldly... you will feel it in your bones and your soul!!
Now watch it live the 1994 Pulse concert. It will literally blow your mind 🤪
This was at every planaterium in the world w a light show. Get stoned and listen to Floyd!
A good choice for next Pink Floyd reaction would be: (Time) studio version with the lyrics, followed by (The Great Gig In The Sky)
Wanna see this in concert? Check out the Live pulse concert version- the solo is longer
Welcome to the PINK FLOYD Universe!!!!! You are i great company!!!!
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. Welcome aboard.
Lovely to see you back. Hope all is well .
Thanks Vicky! Hope all is well with you too! 🙏🏾
thanks for lifting us up, man. this has been a crazy hair-raising week in my neck of the woods, so these chill vibes and your fun reaction are a welcome distraction and blessing. i'm sure others have broken down the real-world particulars of the track before i got in here. for me this song has become more of a generalized healer, even on some listens a spiritual healer, who is trying to manage expectations -- meanwhile the patient feels the world is slipping more and more away. comfortable, yes. numb, yes. and while the strings swell, experience and the world begin to fade. is it a kind of dying? is it some other kind of transcendence? is it both? i have to admit i prefer leaving the questions unanswered. i'd rather not kill my reaction to the song with too many facts. it breathes in the spaces where explanation doesn't quite reach.
No matter how many times I listen to this song that solo hits me every single time.
Oh it *WAS* crazy in concert. 🤩 🎸 🎶
An amazing song, goosebumps every time
Dark Side of the Moon is the best piece of work Ever..listen to it for yourself, by yourself, with head phones...an epic concept album comprising birth, life, and death..no lie...though my favorite Floyd tune is Echoes..
Pink Floyd made albums like books , this is just a chapter
pink floyd makes us examine our life whether we realize it or not.their music is like self psycology lessons.they are on a musical level VERY FEW will ever achieve.
The original title of this song was "The Doctor", but there was already another song with that title. It is a conversation between the Doctor (voiced by Roger Waters), and "Pink" (voiced by David Gilmour, who also does the guitar solos). Although the doctor gives Pink a shot, the song is not about drugs at all. It is about the fact Pink is catatonic (he's actually speaking in his head, not out loud). He is in a mental state, not a drug induced state, where he has built a metaphorical "wall" around himself.
@Anthony Tomassi No, I'm not on acid, or any other drug for that matter; but I appreciate your concern. Although I'm not sure which documentary you're referring to, I agree with much of what you said. Syd certainly colors PF's work, even after he was no longer able to be a working member. However, I stand by my original comments. It may be there is a misunderstanding. My comments are referring to the fictional 'Pink' in the story that is The Wall.
I think Roger speaks to the ideas pretty well in a radio interview in late 1979 ruclips.net/video/6_p61rXyAMo/видео.html . From Don't Leave Me Now at 18:00 thru Waiting For The Worms at 36:00, Roger is very descriptive of the ideas at play. Specifically, the only drug mentioned is what the doctor gives Pink in Comfortably Numb. He even speaks to the effect of that drug wearing off, driving Pink back toward his mentally isolated state.
@Anthony Tomassi Don't worry. I wasn't offended. It's all good lol.
Welcome to the rabbit hole my friend, there's no way out>
Subbed, try songs "Time", or "Money", studio version
If the music keeps sounding like this I don't want to get out LOL Thanks so much for watching Glenn!
I'm always amazed when people don't know pink Floyd, Michael Jackson videos, van Halen, nirvana.... I'm old
The second solo Is brutal & magic
Now try the the live pulse version. Blow your mind time. Lol
That there is Master David Gilmour probably the best guitar player ever.
The drummer - Nick Mason - never gets the credit he deserves for giving everything just the right amount of weight, adding to the sound and feel instead of trying to steal it
The Concert - "PULSE". Outstanding!
HAVE TO LISTEN TO “TIME”!!!!!!!!
pink floyd is my favourite band
If the rest of their music sounds like this I’m gonna be hooked too! Lol 🙌🏾
@@abovetheinfluence9361 dogs is their best song in my opinion :)
@@zinkarius7 adding it to the list now! 😊😊😊
Pink Floyd is FANTASTIC live. The live songs are exactly like the album they are taken from. Sound quality is awesome. I saw them at The Meadowlands for the Division Bell tour. One of the BEST concerts I have ever seen (except for Rush) although both bands sound exceptional live. If you ever have the chance to see them live, it is WELL worth the money. You will NOT be disappointed.
You must check out the Pulse Concert 1994? Their LIVE show is a visual treat as well as musical perfection. It's not a song, it's art.
You should watch the live version
I have liked all your reactions to your videos
They have some good music...this song is 1 of my favorite..
Can’t wait to dive even deeper into their catalog! Thanks for watching Lela! 🙏🏾
Welcome
Here's a few others i like..
Time
Wish you were here
Hey you
@@lelacurry1331 appreciate the recommendations! Adding them to my Pink Floyd line up now 😁
@@abovetheinfluence9361 Sorrow, Coming Back to Life, Echoes, Learning to Fly...the whole “Animals” album...are a few more. They have tons of great music, not some 🤘🏼🎶🔥
The movie version is mother. The backing track for this song. Anything floyd is amazing
This piece is about the character in the middle of a drug trip. The first voice you hear is the doctor trying to revive him for 'The Show', the chorus is the singer in the middle of his drug high.
Why, in some of the Comfortably Numb react vids, is the cover for Dark side of the moon on screen (and not The Wall where it’s from)?
ruclips.net/video/_FrOQC-zEog/видео.html&ab_channel=HELLOSEMPA
As you know, he is building an emotional WALL through out the album.Here he is over worked and must go onthanks to the doctor's needle.
The musicians, engineers and Producers sweated the hell out of the little things in the '70s. That's what sets that decade apart from all others!
The live Pulse version is Gilmour soaring into the stratosphere.
Epic Solo.
This song has an unusual history. But iconic at the end
Written about a time when he was a child and deep in a fever
One of of my pet peeves is when these reactions talk right over the best guitar parts
Or they pause it -- JUST before there is a refrain or the 3rd part or the drums come in at 3:00 mins. Gawd.
I wish they would just shut their eyes and listen!
My favorite Pink Floyd song. And maybe my favorite guitar solo of all time. Every note was perfect and truly emotional.
The band was formed in the UK in the 1960s. It was named by a co-founder of the band, Syd Barrett as a homage to his favorite American old school black blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
David Gilmour to Guitar .. he's the best 😎👍
Can feel the emotion he plays with... he had that guitar SANGIN! Appreciate you watching Gerry!
@@abovetheinfluence9361 😎👍 good day to you
@@abovetheinfluence9361 The guitar practically wails on Comfortably Numb in concert, both Pulse concert and I would say Live 8 concert demonstrate this just as well. The entire 24mins at the Live 8 concert they did on off was amazing to see, and soothing no one ever thought would happen at the time. Since then they Gilmour and Waters have done a few more on off special events together, usually for charity. Unfortunately we no longer have Rick Wright (keyboardist) with us anymore, and will never see this with everyone together again. Comfortably Numb Live 8 ruclips.net/video/P_4uEaZQ2Kg/видео.html Entire 24min set from Live 8 ruclips.net/video/ikDEHygZzlI/видео.html
This band took great pains to compose music that would take one by the hand and lead one into places that they'd not go otherwise. The lyrics and the instrumentation is the drug. Enjoy.
I am so glad you gave a Shoutout to Nick Mason on drums. Totally under rated. From Astronomy Domine (the first song on the first album) through the end, he has played down the tightest drum beats around. Every beat is where it should be. Not real flashy but he makes the percussion of this prog band an equal and complimentary part of the whole in my humble opinion.
I LOVE when musicians break my faves down. You can dig it!
JUST A HEADS UP, TURN THE MUSIC UP AND YOUR VOCALS DOWN, THIS IS ABOUT THE MUSIC! TO START, STICK TO THE ALBUM ORIGINALS, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM EVERYDAY & HAVE A DIFFERENT REACTION.
Sadly this album can never be truly discovered....unless you listen to it at night, all lights out laying on the lounge room floor...stoned of your nut😉😜
Oh wow... one of THOSE kinda experiences 😂
Although I do partake, I definitely don't feel it's a requirement! After watching this reaction, I can tell that you are in tune with the orchestration of the music and that alone from, this group, will take you "there"
@@crazyfingers19 Agreed.....yeah he “gets it”
You must see the live concert, Pompeii 2016 video. Simply superb!
Nice reaction brother, it's one of my favourite songs and you showed respect
The best version of this song is absolutely from "Live in Gdansk Poland" the final Pink Floyd-related recording to feature Richard Wright who happened to be the lead singer on the song.
Comfortably numb 1994 pulse concert. David Gilmour kills it with 2 AWESOME solos. Trust me, you will definitely enjoy the music. The light show is amazing.
Never resist the erge to sit back and close your eyes while listening to Pink Floyd. 🍄🍄🍄
"That Blues Feeling" Pink Floyd = PINK Anderson - FLOYD Council two blues men from the 20'-30's.
