First Time Hearing Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Reaction (Pulse) - ARE WE TRAVELING THROUGH TIME?! 

Isnt this voted 2nd guitar solo of the 20th century, after Hotel California?

@@cycomiles4225 This one gets my vote.

@@davemcbroom695 I agree, it never ceases to take me away somewhere where i have not been yet

It really isn't a solo, it's an instrumental break. There are plenty of other things going on. That said, it's one of my favorite musical moments

@@rickwelch8464 Oh, I dunno about that. Most "solos" are accompanied by say, rhythm guitar and drums.

Thank you! And agreed!

That guitar solo... every time goosebumps, so emotional. Well done guys

Correction, Gilmour makes the guitar *sing* :)

Always loved the joke that guitars wish for David Gilmour for Christmas.

​@@cr10001speak, sing, cry... David gives his guitar a life of its own

Absolutely, for me Hendrix is the greatest but Gilmour is 100% the best at expressing emotions in his playing and is overall my personal favourite

count me in as one of the many

Don’t forget how top-notch his acoustic work is as well like on loss of words or of course, wish you were here

@@jamescoleman8954 there´s one acoustic version of COMING BACK TO LIFE that floors me every time. you find it on youtube called "David Gilmour - Coming Back to Life (In Concert)", thumbnail with girl-choir behind gilmour.

His playing is fantatic .Everyone rates the shredders but for my Gilmour and Alex Lifeson from Rush are the best 2 guitarists ive ever seen, and ive seen halen ,zep and Joe Satriani .

Men don't talk about "feelings" anyway, we get to work. Action is the only truth. - Marcus Aurelius.

Well said..I was there..beautiful night 🌙

I dare to suggest any live version of Lady Fantasy by Camel.

Ditto those sentiments. Gilmour is such an amazing vocalist and world class guitarist. I don't mind confessing to shedding many a tear watching and hearing the genius at work.

I couldn't agree more. I get emotional often when listening to this band. And Mr. Gilmour.

Since i was 12 years old (57 now) Gilmour & Lifeson (Rush) have both brought me to tears with their guitar solos.

True!!!!

Wrong. I love Pink Floyd they are my favorite band but there are some incredible rap/hip hop artists that play instruments and have bands that back them. Some of the best lyricists of all time are rappers.

Yep, the current music scene is crap.

@@tinamakaneole8866 True, but you can't judge by what's "Pop"...Tupac, BIG, NWA, ect. But there are still contemporaries. I personally love both Run the Jewels and The Flobots for their political rap getting back to the roots of Hip-Hop as a political and social force...Hell, Rage Against the Machine is the quintessential blurring of that line...so I try not to write off entire genres just because of what I hear all the time around town...Ever tried J-Rock? In the 80's and 90's Japan fell in love with heavy metal and hair metal...so they basically amped the hair and the metal up to eleven...The band X-Japan is probably the most well known...you can see the influences from GNR, Ozzy, Anthrax, Metallica...all from the perspective of a different culture that is almost the complete opposite being conformist rather than individualist, and it becomes a genre unto itself and basically became standard for many action anime...life sure is complicated, lol...

@@42Mrgreenman yes , lol, complicated is right. You have good advice, but I will never be into hip hop/ rap, sorry. I do love that Japanese rock culture!

​@tinamakaneole8866 I urge you all to give Ren - "Hi Ren" a chance... I was like you guys (no rap) before I saw that in January... it's taking the internet by storm

Saw ' Dark Side of the Moon tour. They take you to another dimension. I've never come back.✌️🌻🌻

30 years ago this month ~ Sun Devil Stadium, Phoenix, AZ ~ 65,000 friends.....unforgettable.

As was i, also seen them in 88 at Wembley, and was in Berlin in 90 to see Roger do The Wall

Same. I was 14, it was my birthday present. Flew from America to see it.

Me too! After the 1st gig got cancelled as it was starting when there was a partial seat collapse at Earl's Court

​@@PaddyDixieTheMinerva82 ditto....thanks to shoddy scaffolders they added another date. Managed to get seats beside where the plane crashes in "on the run" brilliant! Could feel the heat from the explosion and also the heat from the pyros of "run like hell"

Me too, the greatest gig. 'One of these days' nearly took the roof off Earls court lol. 🇬🇧

Of course, if anyone is asked to name the 10 greatest bands ever, how many aren't from our little island? Nirvana maybe? The Beach Boys? That's about it I think, maybe Metallica as well

an*

Time might be one of their bests tracks (it's hard to do a classification).

Time is my all time favourite by pink Floyd

Ideally let it flow into Great Gig in the Sky (album version)

*Amen*

@@Dan-nj8du Well ideally just listen to the whole album straight.

I was there the night after the upstairs seating collapsed. Easily the best concert I ever saw,we all floated out of Earl’s Court and on to the tube disbelieving at what we’d all just witnessed. Changed me at the time.

Absolutely right!!! 👍👍

Waters bass on Echoes is bloody wicked. Wish I’d been there but it was filled with ghosts. Iconic gig and about 30 crew saw it!

32, c'ero pure io e un amichetto,,ma nascosti,eravamo di più...eravamo imboscati,siamo stati nascosti sotto i loro Occhi,eravamo messi sotto le pietre della platea,scomodi ma Felicissimi...le riprese erano di molte bobine,ma qualcuna andò Rovinata,peccato,c'era più materiale per Rik,e David...ma ne e valsa la pena,e che Suono,Sbavavamo,e vedevamo bene le note che faceva Gilmour...EXTASI TOTALE....

Lyrics by Waters. Music by Gilmour.

That's the official explanation. But to me, it is Syd's voice talking about his descent into schizophrenia, where he is insulated from life by being "comfortably numb". The guitar solos and the heaviness of the music makes the subject way too important for such a simple event as in that official explanation.

@@StuartBiliack feel free to believe what you like. he did experience a flashback to when he was sick as a kid but there's a larger context. the complete & accurate story is that during a tour date in Philly Roger got hepatitis & was treated by a shady venue doctor so he could perform that night. the song is a call-&-response between Roger as patient & the shady doc.

40+ years for me, I was just a kid in elementary school, mid 1970's and loved them ever since.

I listen to this once a week, Really...my wife things I'm a junkie. But it makes me feel good, so relaxing. Thank you RU-vid.

Me too 🇬🇧

You guys are lucky to have attended that concert. Listening to that solo live - 🔥🔥🔥

I was lucky enough to see them at Giant’s Stadium in 1994. Best concert I’ve ever seen.

lightning created Frank's journey, and when he claimed to have spoken to Jimmy Hendrix...then suddenly picks up up a guitar, and plays his music , there is more In; Heaven and Earth than we can dream of...

Ugh! I was in MA then and a strong longtime PF fan, how the heck did I not go to this concert??!

I saw this in Foxboro also, first night. It was so magical I went to the second night to try to get a ticket and couldn't, but still enjoyed just sitting in the parking lot listening to the music.

Always choke up if not outright cry, even after 50 years.

Me too. It was the greatest concert! 🇬🇧

Think that he managed and promoted her and also played the guitar on the now epic ' running up that hill ' .

You can put Beatles with them, a more simplistic genius but genius nonetheless

Well, not the galaxy... One would expect someone named Rocketship to know that even at the speed of light, the area covered by our radio broadcasts is only a tiny bit of our galaxy, which is way, way bigger than most humans can imagine without studying Astronomy. But even given that humanity's music can't possibly have covered the galaxy, there are still about a thousand stars within that 50-lightyear circle since Dark Side came out, so if there's life in those systems, they could indeed be listening to "Money", right now, for the very first time! Lucky bastards! ;-]

@@robertcartier5088 Are you being literal? The Universe is REALLY that Big. Damn. Thanks for commenting , love it. My Challenger is an Earthbound Rocket btw.

For musicianship RUSH has to be in the discussion

The studio version is a masterpiece. Clare Torrey's vocals were incredible. In concert it usually took three vocalists to do what Clare did solo.

Goodness me you've aged amazingly well😮😂

Actually, I believe at the time, the Rolling Stones ''Steel Wheels" Tour had the largest stage. When we built it in 89 at Shea Stadium in NY, it was 155 ft tall , filled the entire outfield and went into the bleachers on both sides. There were close to 100 tractor trailers of Production ( Lights, Sound,Scenery etc) There were 3 complete Steel Stages on the Tour, the one they would be playing on that week, one being built in the next city and one traveling to the venue 2 weeks away.!

They used 51 semis in order to 'leap-frog' across their North American Tour. For instance, if they were playing in Tampa, 17 semis were there with the staging and support items. At the same time, 17 semis were taking down the Miami concert venue, and, 17 semis were setting up the next concert location in Jacksonville, and so on. THE most incredible concert tour ever accomplished. Years later they put out the video and DVD set filmed from the end of their World Tour in London, called "Pulse". The North American concert was very similar. I had seen them in 1987 at Tampa Stadium, and suggested to my high school students that I was teaching in 1994, that they should see this concert. I went to the concert and was astonished that the '87 show could be made that much more amazing. Then, when teaching classes the following day, a few students came up to me and said, "Thanks a lot coach. We went to that Pink Floyd concert. You've ruined concert-going for us for the rest of our lives......because, we know right now that we will never see anything to top that."
