NOW THIS IS A GUITAR SOLO!!! Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (Live in 1994) (1979) (Reaction) 

David Gilmour makes that guitar weep like a soul that’s in pain.

Pink Floyd are some of the greatest to ever make music, in my opinion. Their music has stood the test of time and I will listen anytime I hear one of their songs on. Just plain talent and creativity.

Probably one of the greatest guitar solos ever - for all the reasons you gave. Pink Floyd. Never boring, and they take you to unexpected phantasmagorical places.

And this is why Pink Floyd are my all time favourite. Between the emotions you feel from the lyrics then the roller coaster of the instrumentation each album thro s you into a storyline of struggles in humanity ❤

The revolving cabinets with the lights are Leslie speakers which are used for the keyboards, to give an enhanced swirling effect to the music

David gilmour's guitar solos always take you on a ride. He never tries to outshine the band throw fire in the air play so fast you can't see his hand or run around stage and kick things!!! He simply tries to play the best sounding music he can for his audience!! That's what he does in every song he performs and that is why he is at least in the top five guitar soloists on the planet ever!!

Not one dimension indeed! Unknown dimensions of time and space!

Guitars grow up and wish David Gilmour will play them.

Gilmour sings in his solos with his guitar solos. He doesn’t shred it, he makes each note matter

No guitar solo has ever, ever, ever, ever, stirred my emotions like David's solo in this song during the Division Bell Tour. Dave Mustain (Metallica, Megadeth) said that "DG could do more with one note than modern shredders could do with a dozen."

Fil, I was at this concert, 3rd row from the front. My fav gig of all time, an aural and visual extravaganza . The triangle thing is a prism. Yes, layer upon layer, in the musical production, is a hallmark of their work. Love, love, loved your reaction. #QcumberSquad #PinkFloyd - Fil, I'm off back to the study.

Gilmour has a "trick" he plays using alot of precise and really hard to hit perfectly big "bends". So instead of "picking" the higher fretted note which is a step change, he bends the string, this increases the frequency until he reaches the higher note. But that's a curve, not a step. The human brain can ride the wave and interpret the emotion. Most guitar players use this technique to go up a semitone or three. Gilmour frequently bends 3, 4 or occasionally 5 semitones and lands it perfectly everytime. The man is an emotional Strat Wizzard!

Unlike you Fil, I love long guitar solos…if you can’t chill with Floyd you simply can’t chill period! So glad you appreciated this beautiful artistry from an undinably time of pure talent🤩

Pink Floyd is on another level altogether,...

I love the layers and complexity of PF's music. I've been listening to them for decades and still notice things in their music that I've never heard before from time to time. I've heard more than one person talk about how that layered quality of PF's music affects the neurodivergent mind, too. Like it touches different parts of the brain and brings them together in this beautiful coherence, calming the scattered mind. Then when you add the emotional component of the music the experience can be ecstatic. I also heard someone recently talking about how PF is high vibrational, seventh chakra stuff, and while I don't know anything about that, I can tell you that there have been a few occasions in my life when I've been so depressed that PF's music was painful. So maybe there's something to that? 🤔🤷🏽‍♀ Whatever. They're different. 💗🤘🏽

You can hear music and you can hear Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd takes you on another higher Level of Music.

I LOVED the unintentional Dark Side of the moon prism effect in your RU-vid plaque for the entire video. Thanks for the reaction!

I must admit I kinda smirked when you said you didn't like long guitar solos. I was thinking to myself, "You ain't heard this one yet", lol. Well done!

Fil, you passed the test. Well done and great reaction.

For me PinkFloyd is the greatest band ever. Way ahead of their time they wrote some magical music never heard before or after. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

THANK you for resisting the pause during a Gilmour solo! Great reaction!

Please do more Floyd, more often because i love listening to you.

1979 is the release of the LP The Wall . i was at the wall concert tour 1980 and was at this concert in 1994 , been a fan since 1972 when i was 10 when my dad bought me the LP Meddle with my fav track of Floyd called Echoes 23 mins long lol

You have to love all Gilmour-solos. He´s not showing off. Many guitar solos are boring because the artists get lost in showing off pentatonic skills (today you´ll even have a million 6 year old Asian kids out there who pull off the greatest pentatonic runs ever). But Gilmour´s guitar is not about showboating ... "she" is another voice in the orchestra. That´s why we are so invested: it´s like listening to somebody who reads out a beautiful poem, but on guitar.

Yeah, I do feel exactly the same way about the way their music makes me feel.

Legendary track

Pink Floyd music is very artistic, complex, intelligent and intellectual. So many layers of vibes and moods. I love guitars solos: it’s like an out of body experience, like floating through the universe with so much heart and soul, like every cell in your body feels it all.

You watched a few songs from PULSE, which is one of the greatest concert-experiences ever, BUT: at Pulse, you´re watching Floyd 30 years into their game. I´m sure you would love to see them young ... here´s a suggestion: ECHOES Live in Pompeii 1971/72

Thank you for sharing your sensitivity with all of us.

I really liked what you said in your video. At around 8:00 you say: "The thing I really like about Pink Floyd, is that there's a lot of layers to their music it's not this one dimensional "thing" that you listen to today right". So let me suggest to you (Genesis, Supper's Ready), with lyrics. It's a 23 minutes song, but it's guaranteed to give you a rollercoaster of emotions.

Wow! A David Gilmour guitar solo that you wouldn't get irritated by. High praise indeed!

Appreciate you representing Detroit in this video.

Well, you really nailed it with your comments at 8:00-9:00. I know this song and performance intimately, but you just schooled me.

Agree with all your comments. This video from that concert is actually a shorter edit of the solo. It's 45 sec or so longer in reality (whatever that might be).

1979 - powstał utwór, 1994 - wykonanie właśnie tego utworu na żywo 20 października 1994, z Earls Court w Londynie w ramach trasy koncertowej promującej album The Division Bell.

Of i had a coin for everytime i heard someone mention the time and space correlation with PF if be stinking rich. I LOVE IT

Great reaction. From the same Pulse collection, please check out SORROW, and also RUN LIKE HELL.

Sammy, abso-f*cking-lutely. Thanks, mate.

If you could have been there, seen 30,000 people spellbound. I was there, left side 12 rows up from the floor.

Next: Pulse live: „High hopes“ or „Keep talking“!

You need to watch the movie "The wall". All the songs are put into some sort of context, but comfortably numb stars Bob Geldof as the rock star and it explains this song in it's entirety. The childhood references, the "time to go", the "can you stand up", "just a little pinprick", - just watch the movie and it will all make sense. If you need any more context into how the subject of this song ended up like he did just listen to the song "Mother" on the same album and it should become clear. Rock stars on bordering on overdose with parental "issues".

The 2 bands that immediately come to mind that always give you an out of body experience are Pink Floyd and Tool.

That David Gilmour solo could be shorter, said no one ever.

Listen to David Gilmour : Live at Pompeii" at 70 yrs old "Sorrow". Dave plays his "Black Strat" with his Jimi Hendrix XXX guitar s rap that he wore on July 4,1970 playing the National Anthem. Guitar sold at auction for $3.9 million without the guitar strap

The majority of Pink Floyd songs are not exactly pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz or anything else. A Pink Floyd song is not so much about «melody», nor rimes, as much as about emotions (normally dark emotions like despair, sadness, lonlyness, etc). David's guitare is expressing those universals emotions like no one else!

Great Reaction watch Sorrow from pulse concert. Also keep talking from same show. On The Turning Away 1988 live also

KABOOOOMB

Gilmour is the reason the guitar was invented !

🔥🔥🔥🔥 😊

The song is about a real life experience the band and Roger Waters endured just before a concert. Roger was ill and in too much pain to perform . A doctor gave him a stimulant that blew his brain into a different universe, but also numbed his entire body......including his needed fingers and hands. Unable to play the bass ( numb hands n fingers ), Roger just floated around the stage for over 2 hours while the band played around him.

The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shall not in any way interrupt a David Gilmour solo!

Epic guitar solo...David Gilmour is the best 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Awaken", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

Didn’t really feel like your standard guitar solo, right? Like the guitar was singing as well. That’s why this one made the list for the best guitar solo, ever. I’m no musician, but I think a child can figure this out. All there is to do is FEEL it.

how can people who say its there first time watching it for the first time and at least don't watch half of the video...bull shit..theve already watched it...boils my piss.m

Hey kind of wondering when you were going to do the Clancy album by twenty one pilots? I remember you saying they were your favorite band. There my favorite too. Answer, don’t answer just wondering.

Gilmour Live Pompei is the best version

Nice review but I like your books more! Stay strong brother it all starting to change, just look at what happened in France.

If you don't appreciate a guitar solo it's because you are listening to the worng bands/music. There's no other explanation..

Please listen to Phish!

Great reaction, but I can't get past the fact you look like an unbearded Dr. House in the thumbnail. I'm sorry, no disrespect, but I'm still LMFAO 🤣

Carton rouge mec. Jamais couper un solo

Sorry you mist the show

Can't hear any commentary relative to the song. EQ the sound, my man.

If you are going to react to a video you shoujd at least watch it instead of having your eyes closed

Sorry had to stop watching . You even paused the first solo. Good luck in your life as a reactor, you will be minus at least one viewer

Remember Carl Sagan's series COSMOS the keys in part sound a little like Sagan's COSMOS theme

David plays within the song and never deviate's
