Girl breaks down on FIRST TIME HEARING PINK FLOYD - COMFORTABLY NUMB (PULSE) 

David Gilmour’s guitar somehow expresses the entirety of human emotions. It’s not just you. Nobody in the world can do what he does. I am a 49 year old guy and I cry every single time I hear that solo.

First off, THANK YOU for not pausing during a David Gilmore solo, huge thank you ❤️ Your reaction was great and I felt your emotion 👍🏻🙏🏻

This was the level of musical brilliance we grew up with in the 60s and 70s.

This Pulse performance is almost too much to take in. I’m 63 and it brings tears to my eyes. “When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone.”

Welcome to world of Pink Floyd. This band reaches out to your soul and emotions with their music, lights, and lyrics. No other band comes close!! And note Comfortably Numb was the 21st song of the concert and was followed by "Run Like Hell" which has a completely different vibe!

No honey, it doesn't sound crazy - it sounds like you heard it exactly how it was intended ❤

Leo Fender created the Stratocaster. David Gilmore gave it a soul. I'm 69 years old. This version of Comfortably Numb, in my opinion, contains the greatest guitar solo ever by the greatest guitarist ever by the finest group of musical masters in all of rock and roll.

I was at this very concert held at Earls Court in London. If you think it was emotional watching it on a screen, imagine what it was like actually experiencing it live. I was 45 at the time and I spent most of the concert with tears running down my face. I was exhausted for 2 days after this. A truly life changing experience that will never leave me. Great reaction sweetheart. ✌️❤️🇬🇧

One thing no prior generation has EVER said: "Seniors have an awesome taste in music". Maybe there's hope for the world yet!

Don't worry about showing your emotions to this song. I am a man of 73 years from the U.K. and I, like many more people, feel exactly as you do after listening to this. Keep watching and listening to Pink Floyd. May I suggest the live version of Sorrow, by them. A mind blower! A fine reaction!

Dave Gilmour's guitar playing is hypnotic. It's good to see your emotional reaction to Floyd we in the older generation experienced it way back in our youth. Listen to shine on You Crazy Diamond when you get the chance. Thanks for playing it, and giving the respect of not commenting until the end. x

R.I.P. Rick Wright. Genius keyboardist/songwriter/backing vocalist. R.I.P. Syd Barrett. Genius singer/songwriter/guitarist. Roger Waters (genius songwriter, bass and vocals) and Nick Mason (genius songwriter/drums/percussion/backing vocals). God Bless them all.... David Gilmour's wonderful voice and impeccable guitar playing in this song is total fire. If you don't get emotional and melancholy with this you are dead. Most of us get comfortably numb at a certain point.

No one expresses humanity via guitar like Gilmour

It doesn't matter how many times I hear these two solos from this live performance -- tears stream down my face every time. Dave Gilmour's playing stirs the deepest emotions.

I know exactly what you mean when you say the guitar was singing. David Gilmour's playing is highly emotional and really takes you on an inner journey. I'm not sure there are words to describe how Pink Floyd makes most of us feel, but we Pink Floyd lovers understand you. I hope you keep listening to their music. It's a genre all it's own and it's timeless. Try the songs *Time* and *Hey You.* Also, their long songs are some of their best. Don't let the length of some of them keep you from checking them out. Happy listening.

A song called Comfortably Numb that EVERYBODY feels SO much emotion to on hearing - what genius

As a 75 yr. old I get so much enjoyment from watching young people grasp the music of a different generation. Some music survives the passage of time and inspires the feeling of an age gone by.

The band is named in homage to two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. One of the bands founding members fell in love with their raw, bluesy sound and talked the other members into naming their band: "The Pink Floyd Sound", later shortening it to just Pink Floyd and they became legends! The cerebral band of rock!

I'm 72. I've seen this performance probably 50 times. I have never failed to tear up at some point. This can only be described as a Master Piece. Watch this entire concert, it will blow your mind.

That guitar is being played by David Gilmour one of the five greatest guitarists ever to walk this planet!! Watch just about any song from this 1994 Pulse concert and it will be at least equivalent to almost any other bands Grand finale!! That wasn't even their last song for this concert! You should listen to some of their studio albums which are just as entertaining as a video because Pink Floyd paints a picture and a story in your mind with almost every one of their songs! If you'd like to see them when they were your age try their Pink Floyd 1971 "Echoes live from Pompeii" where they play in an ancient Roman amphitheatre over 2000 years old with no audience! Or try Us and Them from their 1973 Dark Side of the Moon album! One last thing about Pink Floyd try to use headphones or earbuds because their sound production is second-to-none!!! You just fell into a bottomless rabbit-hole known as Pink Floyd! Enjoyed your reaction very much and I think you will be very surprised at their music!!

David Gilmour. Simply Brilliant !! Thank you.

Utmost respect for you, letting the song play and reserving your comments until the end

This version touched me more than any other and I heard myself saying “maybe there is a heaven…” -meaningful because I’m not religious and I’m a baby boomer as well, so I’m quite old. I’m so touched and pleased, Vivian, by your sweet intro, and your reaction put me in tears as well. Live long and prosper, beautiful child.

Best concert EVER i’ve been lucky enough to attend twice!! David plays and feels like from another dimension, just wow.

Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas.

If you want to see two musicians have a conversation without words, check out the final "Echoes" performance with Richard Wright & David Gilmour (original members of Pink Floyd) from 2006, shortly before Richard passed away. As already suggested, watch the version from their 1972 concert Live at Pompeii, but then check out the 2006 concert version. It is, at the same time, an amazing performance and an amazingly bittersweet moment we get to witness between two old friends--almost as they're reflecting upon their years together. Same song, but different vibe 44 years later. I can not watch it without at least a few tears.

I’m a very very old metal rock head, have seen Pink Floyd 3 times live. To me they have no bad songs. You don’t listen to Pink Floyd you experience them. Sorrow Pulse concert is another experience, Learning to Fly, Keep Talking or Wish Yo We’re Here live of curse is a great start. Good luck on your journey of discovering Pink Floyd! Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The second guitar solo is probably the greatest of all time

We Floydians' completely understand . I have been listening to them and this song for over 40 years and it hits me different each time . Welcome to The Pink Floyd experience

Nostalgic sensation, first time here! Two things I am VERY happy about when it comes to reactors: you did NOT stop this performance so that is HUGE! Second, you shed some real tears and, yes, David Gilmour's guitar will step right into your heart & soul so you feel what he feels thru his guitar..........and take you on a powerful, serene, tranquil journey into musical bliss, absolutely incredible, intense power and emotions here! I have something equal to this: please react to Lucy Thomas' version of "Hallelujah".......and be prepared for your 'religious' experience, LOL! Blown away will be an understatement......best version of this on the Planet

I have seen people reduced to tears even when hearing the studio version, this music has touched so many.

It's not just you love, I've listened to this song for decades and it still makes me tear up. It's just a measure of how insanely talented David Gilmour is.

Life long Floyd fan. I was at that tour that year. My friend who went with me cried during that solo. It's very rare that you get to relive the greatest moment in your life ever over and over just by watching the video. I am truly blessed.

Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd. It makes me so happy when someone so young understands the power of music.,

I was 1 of the lucky ones to be at this concert in Earls Court in London October 1994 The Pulse Tour Concerts and nearly 30years later it still sends shivers down my head and spine watching, listening and remembering the awesome night..!! But not just the song your reacting to Comfortably Numb (The Greatest Song of All Time) but the whole Pulse Concert from start to finish each song as the whole concert was filmed live could be a movie on its own from Musically and Visually the lights, lasers, pyrotechnics, explosions and visual effects are truly MIND-BLOWING

Ah, yes, David Gilmour. One of the most expressive musicians ever to walk the earth, and a thouroughly decent man by all accounts, too. This particular performance resonates very strongly with me - not because I was there but because this was the evening my mother passed away. I am just so glad such a beautiful and powerful performance was captured that night and I always keep a recording of it close. If you want to check out another English guitarist who can make a Stratocaster speak, there's Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. The version of Tunnel of Love from the Alchemy Live video is utterly captivating if you can find it, a bittersweet tale of growing up around the fairgrounds dotted around the North of England, full of yearning for lost love and lost youth and liquid gold spilling from Mr Knopfler's bare fingers and his Schecter Strat (which is also red). A very different performance to this one but every bit as emotional and well worth anybody's time.

I saw this live in 87' . Unforgettable experience.

Pink Floyd, “Great Gig in the Sky”,

Greetings from Canada, Good job, you. Well done. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

He releases his soul into his guitar

that is an experience...just saying':)

One of the best reactions I have seen for this song. I feel on live songs they shouldn't be interrupted because you don't get to stop a live show and it detracts from the feel of being there. I did see this tour, best concert I've ever been to, and I've been to many. Check out the entire show.

If you think this song is good (and it is) then you should try "On the Turning Away", it's brilliant, both the lyrics and the guitar are beautiful.

It's like a yearning. Beautiful every time.

One of the most emotional solos ever performed

Lovely Reaction and congratulations on getting those 2,000 Subscribers:)

It's really beautiful to see how you were able to feel and allow the effect, energy and feelings behind this song without pausing it. 🙏

The lyrics “the child is gone, the dream is gone” always makes me look deep in to myself. David Gilmore’s solo at the end is probably the best live recorded guitar solo in concert history. He manages to tap into the guitar and lets the guitar create its own kind of lyrics. I actually went to The Pulse concert when it was in Sydney and I’ve been to countless concerts over the decades but the Pulse concert will always be the best concert I’ve ever been to. From start to finish which included the entire album Dark Side of the Moon played live and in order was just pure perfection. If you want to listen to more pink floyd songs and albums, listen to from start to finish The Dark Side of the moon album. It can only be listened to from start to finish because the entire album is like one long song and covers everything from life, death, grief and grieving, time and our perception of time as we get older, money and how it turns to greed and strips your soul away. I could keep on going. Another few albums that are just as great and worth listening to is The Wall, Animals, Wish you were here, and there’s another must see song that was turned into a concept music video is Echoes, Live in Pompeii. That was filmed in 1971 I think but the song was recorded and filmed at an ancient Roman arena in Pompeii with no one but just the band, sound engineers and the film crew. It gave me the sense that they were not only playing to the ghosts of Ancient Rome, but also to their gods.

From the moment David’s guitar sound takes over, and the stunned audience is confronted with a full-on solar eclipse occurring right in front of their eyes, we’ve entered a completely different and majestic realm of experience, unique to Pink Floyd in the world of Music. In fact, in any art form, I think the only thing of comparably transcendent power I know of is the last half-hour of Stanley Kubrick’s legendary film “2001: A Space Odyssey”, when all the inexplicable mysteries of the universe explode In front of a single surviving astronaut, and he is transformed forever into something new by it, almost like a birth. In both works of art, we leave the experience overwhelmed, mystified, shaken, flabbergasted, silenced into our thoughts, almost unable to process the emotions that flood through us. Can it get better than this? I don’t think so. 🪐👁️

Hello sweety...i'm a 68 y.o grandfather.... two songs for you to listen.... Shine on you crazy diamond....it's a song that was dedicated to a former Pink Floyd member, Sid Barret, who had mental issues and did left the band. Search the song with the 9 parts.... second song.... Great gig in the sky...it's about life and the aceptance od death.... look for the studio version... enjoy great music and be happy.

Subbed for Pink Floyd! Hoping for some Rush & Steely Dan! 🥰🐰

😯😲😳🤯 44 years!!! I caught the original "The Wall" tour in LA, Feb. 9, 1980. 👴 You don't listen to Pink Floyd. You experience Pink Floyd. It's not crazy at all. You should try the song "Great Gig In The Sky" off of the album "Dark Side of the Moon".

Beautiful reaction. I'm 51 and have been listening to Pink Floyd since grade school. I still feel like you every time I hear this song and I've heard it literally thousands of times.

Check out On The Turning Away, live at The Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour for another amazingly emotional solo.

As an "older" Brit, I'd recommend:- Led Zeppelin - "Since I've Been Loving You" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 (it's a lesson in Blues Rock) Or Pink Floyd "Echoes - Part 1" Live at Pompeii 1972, No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods

my cousin's best man was Peter Brown.......Do you wanna get funky with me

Congratulations , so many interupt in particular the 2 guitar solos, but please invest in a pair of good quality headphones. lie back in a darkend room and enter the World of Pink Floyd, you will never regret it. It always pleases me to see young people openly moved by the music , this from The Wall album of 1979, go back even further, 1971 Medddle you MUST listen to Echoes, Then the alltime classic Dark Side of the Moon from 1973 this was in the top 100 charts for 14YEARS, followed by Wish You Were here in 1975 then Animals in 77, a totally different feel to this album, dark /angry. You dont just Listen to Pink Floyd you FEEL them as well, deep down in your soul ! Enjoy !!

No crazy hon. David Gilmour expresses so much emotion with the guitar

That solo tears me up every time. 😢

The performance of this song live in Pompeii italy is amazing. You should watch that one. Playing in an old Italian outdoor stadium is amazing

I was a bit greedy on this one. Working in London at the time and went to 6 of the 13 nights at Earls Court. Caught them at Wembley and the London Docklands on the previous tour, and the charity gig at Knebworth. Saw them first when they were supporting Hendrix in the 60s at a small hall in Kent. But the Earls Court run was the best gigs Ive ever attended.

Pink Floyd I believe transfer there studio performance to the live stage without the need to change anything in the music or singing. They give out a soul stabbing joy as they perform each of their tracks. If you need to listen to another one have a listen to “The Great Gig In The Sky” with no expectations beforehand. Can I suggest in this case you must listen to the studio version first before any live ones. It’s imperative!! Cheers Aah Kid! Enjoy the greatest era in music from 1967 to about 1989! Good Liuck

Well done darling girl, you got it, you felt the music as it was meant to be, not just heard, but felt in the soul, Welcome to Pink Floyd❤

That UFO over the stage was David's ride back to his own galaxy.

Baby girl. That exactly how you were supposed to react !!!!!❤

Well done that's the best sized screen I've seen plus the close ups and of course your good self , your not alone getting the damp eyes just keep a handkerchief handy.😊

I grew up in S/Africa and never got the opportunity of watching these incredible musicians perform live. Floyd will live forever. BTW, I'm 59 yrs old.

Welcome to the machine! You'd do well to react to many more Floyd songs, have loved them for over 50 years - there is no equal.

Your reacti9n is what this performance deserved. Respect to you young lady 🙏

It’s beautiful to see the younger generation appreciate the emotion this man puts into his playing. I have to leave the room every time I hear it. Brings me to tears every time. I also appreciate that you listened all the way through without interruption to get the whole experience.

Well, I think this song was written for 23 year-olds who are in that final moment of transition to nothing but adulthood (no hiding any more!). So I reckon that's why you discovered it now. Because you needed it :) I needed it 29 years ago - when I was 23! Now, I just love it. It's part of me. And I continue to love seeing how lovely young people learn to love it for the first time too. That's kind of affirming, which is a gift.

Pink Floyd is not listened, to it is felt, it absorbed its sanctuary and its divine. David Gilmour generates emotions with his guitar that few if any other musicians can. To see your tears is exactly what we all feel,. The music is from another dimension that cuts through all the BS and enters the soul. I have been listening watching and attending PF concerts for over 40 years and I am still blown away, have tears and feel goosebumps. You are not alone, we all feel it. Welcome to the music of Floyd.

David Gilmour is a f##king surgeon! He uses his instrument to reach inside your chest and gives your heart a gentle squeeze!

I loved your reaction!! ❤❤ It's a perfect reaction to this iconic performance.

Welcome to a big rabbit hole David Gilmour will tug your emotions he says more with his guitar than most can say by words

No one can make a Stratocaster sing like David Gilmore

I reacted exactly like you....the first ten times 💜

I bought the album The Wall when it first came out. This is still one of my favorite. This live version David’s solo is longer. A true classic!

It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this song I still get goosebumps. I remember buying the CD and the case having a red LED light on the edge that lit up to the beat of a normal heartbeat. Simply stunning and it makes me so happy when other people realise how good music can actually be.

No, it‘s not crazy. That‘s how David Gilmore speaks or sings through this guitar. Nobody else can do it like him. Some people even say, that the second solo of comfortably numb as played on the Pulse Tour is the best guitar solo ever played on this planet! And the whole performance is still great 30 years later, because it was so ahead of time when it was pulled off. They had a computerized light show in 1994, when this had been unheard of before. If you liked this, also watch „high hopes“ from the same concert!

12:22… Yup! Welcome to Pink Floyd…

You are not crazy at all. Pink Floyd hits everyone differently and the take home is usually WOW. I always listen to Pink Floyd with headphones on in a very dark room not be depressed but to have the whole Pink Floyd experience, it will be something you will want to do again. Try The Wall which is where this song come from. The Dark side of the Moon album which by the way is still being sold and Division Bell are also good albums. I like the way you don't interrupt the music and you make your comments at the end of the video. Good job. Thanks.

If you found this song moving, especially by the guitar solos in it, you should check out Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. It's got some epic guitar work in it as well and I think you might really enjoy it.

I was there,£25 in 1994 was a lot of money then!

You are right sweetheart, it reaches your soul and it is timeless.

Hello beautiful Vivian. Pink Floyd is one of mine favorite bands. Love you so much Leon.❤❤💞💞

Saw this 5 times . Your reaction reminds after leaving those concerts the crowd was how quite people were as to what they just experience. This was their last concert which was sold out 14 days in a row

No rock band I have seen live indoors has come close to the sound experience of Pink Floyd. Outdoors experience is a very different experience, but the sound indoors is just a wall of sound and you really feel the emotion.

There were times in my life, that I just didn't want to feel. This song took me there. Tears did come in waves. Thank God I was lifted from that period.

I always find this track very emotional. 14 years ago I went to a gig on the Isle of Man where a band played a superb cover version of this. I was with a very good friend, who tragically lost his life 3 days later in his first race on the Mountain Course. Every time I hear it now it takes me back to that time.

Listen to Sorrow from pulse 1994

I remember watching Pink Floyd's Pulse live show DVD with my dad. I've never seen him so moved by music. He was surrounded by speakers, head back, eyes closed and absolutely indulging in the sensory experience. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I was 10 when this was released. I have it on an actual record not a cassette tape. It brings back memories of my childhood when I would listen to records for hours. My mother used to get very upset with me because I would barricade my door and not come out for hours. She couldn't even shut off the power to make me stop as the electric breaker box was behind my bedroom door so when I locked my door noone could get to the power mains.

Not crazy at all. It's what pink Floyd does! Give grateful dead a listen. Everyone seems to like shakedown street. But there's so much more. Bears choice/ smokestack lightning.

One of the top five guitarists of all time! Simply AWESOME!

I had the chance to see this show two nights in a row during their visit to the Olympic Stadium in Montreal on May 23 and 24, 1994. What was astonishing at the end of this concert was the calm that reigned in the crowd as they left the stadium, as if each of them had become "Comfortably Numb". People had a look in their eyes that showed they knew they had just witnessed a unique and significant event, an unforgettable event. If I could suggest a title for a future reaction, try this other live Pink Floyd song from the 1988 concert: Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away Remastered 2019

I think the natural reaction is to cry this song just brings that out ❤

You are touched like many, to the most beautiful guitar center piece. To call it a solo is wrong. The rhythm section and keyboard and backing guitars coming together amplified the genius of the masterpiece. I am glad I found your channel and wish you all the success. Wonderful reaction video

The original version is much better, you have to listen to it

Pure masterpiece every time I hear this it touches my soul! Brilliant great reaction
