Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb [Pulse Live] (REACTION) 

Hi, love :) You know... I love that you pointed out something about me, when you said "concentrated on what she was hearing", because that is exactly right! I have seen a lot of commenters expressing disdain for me, because I close my eyes. They just don't seem to understand that A. This is my reaction and how I react-- or listen to music; B. I am focusing on the music and not the imagery of the video. This IS a review/reaction to the song, after all, right? Thank you. I appreciate you ;) (((hugs))) ♥

That is different but part of a Pink Floyd concert is the visual part

@@darylabbott2032 Yeah, but this is a reaction video on RU-vid, reacting to the MUSIC, not any visuals on a music video. The original reaction youtubers just listen music. Then the copycat creators arrived, looking for clicks.

@@HalfLifeSistah i certainly am honored to have elicited a "reaction" from you, so to speak! 😀Yes. You are authentic. You _concentrate on the music._ Aside from you, there is a galaxy of charlatans, grifters and scam artists producing "reaction" videos for monetary clicks. They do not have your aptitude for _audial concentration_ because, unlike you, they have no imaginations. _Nor any souls._

@@HalfLifeSistah I appreciate your reaction ay PF music. I cry EVERY time I listen them. Your tears are the best comment to their music. If someone don't get touched in the deep, there's somethings wrong...there's no soul.... Don't worry, close your eyes every time you feel to do it. Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.😊 Bye from Switzerland

I second that, l feel you, l've seen them many times back in the 70's and l still cry when ever l hear their music 🎶 and l'm in my 60's now 💔

i’m so jealous but so glad you both had the honor!

I'm 19 and tear up I'm jealous you grew up listening to them but then again the grass is always greener....high hopes!

Respect! Me too!

32 here. When i first saw this, i didn't even know how to react. Every emotion just overloaded in my system. Ended up bawling my eyes out. A friend showed me this, and he cried as much as i did. Something about this is just so powerful. Love it.

Thats exactly what I thought. She needed to take a minute after the 2nd Chorus lol

Same for me even though I've heard the music hundreds of times and this performance a few dozen times -- but somehow, I'm still not ready either. The thing is, the song is a musical combination of knock out punches. No time to recover from the artistic and emotional impact of each section before the next punch comes flying. We are all defenseless to the power!

@@kikovazquez7277 well put bro x

The box of kleenex never stood a chance ...

Hahaha I thought the same thing, it’s gonna kick her ass!!!!

I second that notion Benjamin. 🙂

There are quite a few reactions where people just break into tears like this. Indeed, discovering Pink Floyd is quite a beautiful thing to watch.

i watched this reaction 2 weeks ago and im still crying.

Amen

You're not helping, I was almost done.

Me too I've just been a wreck watching this lovely moment.

That's hilarious! I'm trying to hide my watering eyes from everyone here in the living room...

Amen! Deeply touched to the core!!!

Wait until you all watch 'Grave of the Fireflies'...

Awwwe, thank you, love :) ♥

I almost always amazed that more people don’t react to great music like she does!!!

Is true... with the best band of the world !!!!!

Really This song makes me crazy

❤🎶🎵🎶💙💖 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙

Now that I'm old, the song 'Time' has this effect on me.

Still love Floyd after 40 years of listening and seeing them live. 73 Darkside Earls Court was my first intro . Bloody brilliant.

@@Lee-70ish I so envy you. I am a young blood and a huge Floyd enthusiast. My life's biggest regret will be never to be able to see them live!

@@kaushikrahman2191 Never Give up hope they'll be back some day,I saw there last tour and it's a real blessing!

Dio mio quanto hai ragione , lo Zio David è un ANGELO venuto dal cielo per emozionarci con la sua chitarra e la sua voce . LO AMO INCONDIZIONATAMENTE💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Hi sunshine 🤗 I appreciate you. Thank you 😚♥️ *Edit* We will be uploading Pink Floyd - High Hopes and Dogs, soon 😊

@@HalfLifeSistah wow your raw reaction was nothing short of the essence of your humanity ! Gilmore's second lead solo is just rapturous .. shook my soul when I first heard it 30+ years ago with its bittersweet melancholic glory .... a huge hug from Texas . ❤

i grew up in hammersmith,chiswick,isleworth etc peace my fellow floydian xxx

@@morfeophantasm7435 Ain't no Gilmore....

Yeah, I don’t know how he does it....he’s freakin insanely good.

Is there an extra like button for this comment lol

Rocky Top Exactly. His guitar wails, cries, screams, seemingly freeing years of pain, joy and anger all at once

Rocky Top what David does with the guitar doesn’t seem possible.

Agreed

Lovely description

Steve Heleven thanks for getting it bro nick too is a key member

Well said.

Yes, agreed. Many great contributions he made. Echoes is extraordinary!

The most underrated musician in history.

Your not wrong!! Masterpiece from god Gilmour... Only Steve Hackett's "firth of fith" solo comes anywhere near...

No doubt

i always struggle with naming my “best solo of all time” its always between: Stairway to Heaven Hotel California Freebird and Comfortably Numb but then i go listen to all 4 and only one moves me emotionally...

Agree.

All are jaw droppingly good. They all have gotten non stop rotation since their release, and while I appreciate each song (and remember there are many versions outside the studio take), the only one that can still move this man to tears even after all these years is Comfortably Numb!

With any band, including Pink Floyd, I feel that any live versions are never the best, and that the studio versions are the definitive versions, because technically they are. The live versions always have an difference or imperfection that takes away from what I got from the original track.

@@aerithnull5081 Not everyone gets to appreciate the live version - your loss Nullser

I bought it on VHS as soon as it was released, and watched it on a friend's 62" rear projection TV, connected to a pro logic receiver and big speakers in a darkened room. It was AWESOME! best concert experience ever, without physically being there, at Earls Court. I then bought it on DVD a year or so later, and still watch it now and then. It never gets old.

incredible. It's the first time I hear of such reactions (the hugging) You've been blessed by life!

Oh wow, that sounded amazing. An overwhelming collective emotional overload. To look around and see everyone else like you, all teary eyed and blown away all forming your personal JFK moments. I'm so envious.

If I was there, I would be crying too lol

And a lot of the men too, I would bet. It gets me, every time! But not just this track, many Floyd tracks tease a similar reaction. When you hear perfection, there is no stopping the tsunami of emotion.

+1 a 51 year old "mans" man. There is just no hiding your soul from this

With you there man, my trainers are are all tear spotted. Not sorry.

Agreed!

Stendhal syndrome?

@@albertgarcia7488 Beautiful! Yes and it's time folks claim it: It happened to me at my first live opera. (And it was freaking German, so can you imagine my first Rigoletto?) Then, in the same month, because I'd just moved to NY after decades only in the deepest south - Paul Klee and a Bellini of St. Francis are two visual occasions where I damn near fainted. I did cry and had to leave the exhibit because. All poured out. I know. You just wrote two words and I'm babbling. Here's to more like Sista et vous.

Could have seen it ,,

Yes make sure that Dave get this pure origin kredit !!

🤗😚♥️

40 here crying throughout the whole song and enjoying so much.

73 here, followed Floyd from the start. I've never admitted it before, but I was crying the first time I heard this song. DG just gets so much feel and emotion into his playing. Glad I'm not alone in the crying stakes!

Thank you! :-*

Well said man... well said, as it would take a life time to describe how Pink Floyd with a lot of their songs make you feel, you may as well just let their music just take you to the point of no return.

SOOOO TRUE.

Exactly right Jason.

… and that, my friends, is what art is all about.

Try explaining what the lady sings in 'great gig of the sky'... wait wut..

Only played right with a Strat No1. Gibson doesn´t sound right. Like, at all. To soft and warm. No matter of the pedals used. This song needs a Strat.

Can't decide which part is the best : phrasing starting at 12:41 or 13:11.

"Time" solo is better

This is the best, eruption is the most impressive

goat solo ever written

I like that!! Well said!

I love it but I'd put tesla over Einstein all day

@Justin Edwards i think you're mixing up edison and einstein

@@dorrhablue8202 Yeah. Edison was the plagiarist.

Although I definitely agree with you to an extent, however, some of the most impressive talent and artistry within music will always remain with the greats like Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, etc.

^_^ ♥

I couldn't agree more. She has so much to discover.

Agreed!

Trip Thirty amen.

Trip Thirty Bro she cried during Holy wars by Megadeth lol. Honestly

I saw that tour at RFK statium in DC.... I agree, best EVER!!!

It really is the best guitar solo in history. Maybe not this particular version, but...yeah, Comfortably Numb is the best guitar thing anyone's ever done.

@@DiamondDustVIII What about Cardi B?

@@DiamondDustVIII - I dont agree. I was at this exact concert and at the end I had tears in my eyes as did many many other. The emotion was off the scale for me and I know the song but this was the first time I have heard this longer intense version. No guitar solo has ever come close to invoking those emotions for. It was almost spiritual.

@@exorcist1998 I was saying that mostly because I've only ever heard the studio version, this one, and David in Pompeii. There may be others I don't know about, I've just started to realize the guy was an absolute master if the guitar, even live. Insanely jealous that you got to see this live...I would've been crying the whole time.

up there with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the shows they put on.

Lenniz 231: Indeed. I think the same.

I'm in tears right now and I can't count how many times I've heard it!

Timothy Henderson me too!

Yeah, just before the second solo it's almost like "The singing hits you where you live? Here, hold my beer."

When a song makes you feel all the feels....you don't just HEAR music. You EXPERIENCE it. Lady, your response is perfectly normal for a masterpiece like this one. Welcome to the world of rock and metal 😊💓

This is true

Listen to David Gilmour live in 2016 in Pompeii. That version will melt you.

He draws us in.

TRUTH!

Jamie Collingwood amen brother

So True...

It's not perfection without Roger who wrote this song and the whole album - and sung 1/2 the parts on the original.

There will never be another band like pink floyd. I can't believe how lucky I am because I started listening to them in 1972 and I have never really stopped. I know almost every verse from every song.

one of the very few times a "live version" of a song is even better than the original. With multiple vocals alternating with Dave and an extended version of the greatest solo ever.

There´s the roger water's dvd version, which is also very emotional, you should check it out.

This is a great version for sure but my favorite version of this song is from the original Delicate Sound of Thunder live album. When I perform this song in a band situation that's the version I cover.

In my opinion, I’d have to agree. Something about that last solo, he really just GAVE it. It’s indescribable, impossible to pin down. It wraps around you.

a thousand times yes

Love this!

Great reply

shes on drugs

Thank you :) ♥

Yeah, I'm a tough guy, sitting in Cleveland airport watching this, and pulling out a tissue to dab the tears.

@@YaoEspirito - I'm glad I'm home and nobody can see me crying. I stated on another thread, I've instucted my wife to play at my funeral or wake.

JRMonte1978 Ive said the same thing brother!

@Reischa Parker And this is your Sister from almost as South as it can get, in New Zealand & I was thinking exactly the same thing as you. Yes, it is great connecting over Pink Floyd living in this Universe.

Tony, you are truly a pioneer. Pink Floyd has always been ahead of its time. Thank you for supporting Pink.F. so we could all get to hear them too. I'm 58 & bought my 1st ever album at 14 yrs old in NZ, the "Dark Side of the moon". It is still my favourite today. Cheers.

Thank you for sharing your experience I wish I could have been there but I’m too young

@@Glock_4717 The show of a lifetime.

@@Glock_4717 You're welcome, Lennon. I was completely blown away! Hypnotized or in trance, if you like. To me, it was a unique and a particular experience, literally speaking. During the concert, I was thinking about different things, but mostly about my childhood (even if I was not even in my 20s yet, but we always think about it when we are talking about Pink Floyd anyway). The sound was just spectacular: massive, imposing, powerful, but also perfectly clean! 90% of the time, during a concert, people are talking, laughing, and having good times; but during this concert, everybody was literally speechless. No stupid or annoying people. Everybody was just "connected". It was like, being in a parallel universe where everything was completely different. That was phenomenal and special, almost "magic" so to speak. And so many people were there. Something like 16,300 people! And I kept the tickets by the way, hehe! In this video at 15:00 she explains it very well. And today, I'm still proud to say _"I WAS THERE, WITH PINK FLOYD THAT DAY!"_

I was there with 65000 others in Clemson Stadium 1994 when I saw the Division Bell/Pulse tour. If you didnt see the concert in full surround sound, you cannot imagine that experience.

Because of Obi-Wan?

Oh, wow. Thank you! 🤗♥️

The wall Full movie Pink Floyd

That's pretty damn true...

I wish I could hear PF for the first time again and capture that feeling and emotion

Scott Redman I was a fairly "late bloomer" when it comes to music. From age 18 I was busy being a wife and mother. Then, when my son went off to university, he was kind enough to leave behind some of his favorite music. This was back in 1994. Then he started sending me suggestions that he had discovered on campus. Like Leonard Cohen (who was still under the radar....at least where we live), and THIS epic production. I was 36 at the time I started to listen to these -- as you call it, "transformative" -- bands and singers. I'm 63 now....living alone with my cat. My son and daughter-in-law are 1500 miles away. But when I hear these songs that MY David gifted to me, it takes me right back to those wonderful, beautiful times we had -- and actually STILL have -- talking about the sheer power of BRILLIANT music. 🌟💫💛

Aaaawe, hi, baby :) Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed the reaction ♥

Same here.. This is my prayer

That is absolutely true. Sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks...

I play this song in a classic rock band. Always before the first chord I raise my thoughts to the most enlightened things my soul can perceive and imagine a light coming from above, piercing my body and out through the guitar headstock. On each note I wish I love, peace and light for each creature present. I literally go out of orbit and come back when the song ends .. it's definitely not just a song .. ir you Santa to watch please type on youtube comfortably numb Brodericks

Got to find my pulse DVD, hope I haven't lost it.

Amen to that soulbrother!!

Nice

I'm from Colombia and I have to say... nice Spanish sistah

Wolf was just talking to me about how meaningful the songs are! 💜

@@gallinakolina Gracias, mi Amor 😃😙🤗💜✊🏾🤘🏾

Mamacita 😘 Just kidding... I don't want Wolf to get jealous 😂

The 'Meddle' album almost drove me insane the first time I heard it. I was 20, and living in a shelter at the time. My father and I used to listen to Pink Floyd all the time. This was an album he didn't have though. He passed away not long before I began living in a shelter, and they had a store up front. There was a Walkman and a huge casstte and CD section. The Wall and Meddle were both in there and I grabbed them. I still get extremely emotional listening to this band.

I love the Gilmore Girls..wait what?

koslim She’s a really sweet hearted girl but the reaction is surprising. The first reaction of theirs that I watched was the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt. Both she and I were a mess after that song.

If this solo doesn't touch you emotionally then you're dead inside. Simple as that. I have never before seen a musician that so totally became one with his intrument and I don't think I'll ever see it again.

koslim It sure does!

Pink Floyd hits me almost as much as her because this music was my childhood, since my dad would play it on the stereo and in the car constantly. I even watched The Wall music video/movie as a kid.

She didn't just heard Pink Floyd, she experienced it!

Gotta love it when a song hits your soul. Thanks for sharing this reaction, I got to hear it for the first time again vicariously.

I was there as well. Utterly amazing. The planes flying across the audience!

in 1994, on one october night in Earls Court we had an epiphany. I bought the VHS cassette from the concert as soon as it was available and played it until it tore. To this day, when I hear this version, I get soggy eyes and all hair on my back stands straight for +9 mins ...

I was there too my friend, glad it wasn’t the night the seats collapsed. An experience I will never forget apart from the music the thing I remember so well is the smell of the weed 😊

I saw them in Toronto Ontario with the same Pulse show. 55,000 people , 3 nights in a row. Completely sold out. The concert of a lifetime.

I was there too.....first Floyd concert. Never could have I imagined what I was about to witness....

Me too chris,me too...PF are awesome!!!!!

53 and the same

I'm 63 and I must be soft; because Floyd has had me in tears since '73

Same here...i'm 58
