(rap fan reacts) Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb! Reaction 

His name is David Gilmour. There are few perfect things in this world. A sunset, a new born baby, and this solo. I heard a fan say that you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. Sounds exactly like what you described. Next song of theirs you should react to is Time.

There's this serious sound to Pink Floyd. It's like listening to wise elders that know life's secrets.

As a guy who is 60+ years old and got to see all the great bands live over the years...it is genuinely enjoyable to me watching the younger folks experience this performance for the first time. Your reaction was awesome.

I saw this twice on the pulse-tour. Mindblowing. Best live performance I ever saw in my life. I stood under the ball and was completely in another world, it s impossible to describe.

...by the way...that was NOT the finale;) The last song of this concert was "Run like hell", check it out:)

David Gilmour is the master of taking you on a musical, emotional journey. He creates moods with his playing.

I think it’s so cool that you saw this with an open mind and LOVED IT!! Art in all of its forms is beautiful

React to the ENTIRE Darkside Of The Moon album by Pink Floyd.. not one song, the entire album!!!! it's one of those albums that tell a story of life in a Psychedelic way

It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation.

That was an Encore..after a 2 hour concert which was incredible...They played that song as just 1 of 3 encores...Pink Floyd take the idea of Music & Performance to another dimension, there are no words in any language invented by Humans that adequately describe their genius! We are so lucky to be able to experience such beautiful sounds!

I've been watching your broadcast. Hope you get this. It's now November 2022. Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb it's actually my favorite favorite song from them. Thank you for playing this.

Saw them in 1994 at Carter-Finley Stadium,Raliegh. Incredible.

I was blessed to see the 1994 Division Bell tour 5 times- twice in LA (Pasadena Rose Bowl) and 3 times in Philly at Vets stadium (my last shows ever at Vets! Saw Floyd on the Momentary Laps of Reason Tour at Vets years earlier) There is no way to describe the energy of the crowd, the production and of course the talent on that stage. Gilmour will always be one of my favorite guitarists of all time. Very grateful! Love your reaction!

Saw this concert when it came to Montreal... Absolutely amazing show! Have it on DVD, watch it at least once a year.

Listening to my all-time favorite rock band. I'm so jealous you're listening to them for the first time.

What I love about Pink Floyd is they can take you on a trip without having to ingest drugs. Loved them since first hearing "Money" in 1972 and they just kept getting better. Way ahead of their time in 72 and still ahead of their "time" today.

I saw him twice in 2016 in LA at the Hollywood Bowl and then the LA Forum two nights later. So energized from the first show, had to do it again.

Wasn't at that show but I did see that song at The Wall show in London, '79/80. Still gets me choked up.

I was working as a lighting tech in Branson MO for Mel Tillis. The moving lights you see here are VeriLites. We had just done an install of 375 of these. They sent a tech out to us to help with the install. AaveriLite asked if we wanted to see Pink Floyd, he'll yes. We get to Arrowhead stadium and who do we see at the light board! David, the light tech running the board for Pink Floyd! Yes, we watched the show from the lighting booth. This show was a truly spiritual experience. And yes, that's David Gilmore on guitar.

Pink Floyd is not rock music. They by far have their own sound and are literally their own genre! And that song was not the finale when you go to a Pink Floyd concert every song is that amazing! People would hear that Pink Floyd is coming to do a concert and would leave in the middle of their own wedding to go stand in line for tickets!! When I say they're not rock they're their own genre take a look at either "High Hopes" or "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" from this same 94 Pulse concert!!

I do not need to "imaging being there"....I have been....twice. The concerts are a spiritual journey and it was a privilege to see them in live. I have probably seen more concerts than someone has a right to.....and Floyd is in another galaxy when it comes time to compare. Thank you for the memory.

Yea Pink Floyd came through for me many times to just kick back and truly relax. 😏

Yes I can imagine being there. Because I sort of was.... I was never in Earls Court, ever, but I saw the same leg of this tour in 1994 in Rotterdam. And I have see this song performed just as good as this one here.... slightly different like any live performance, but just as fantastic. The stadium I was in was a football stadium, so no roof..... and the ball came up out of the floor in the middle of the stadium. The effect was just as fantastic though, disco ball throughout a 50,000 seat stadium. It was this concert that made me a Pink Floyd fan for life.

Saw them in Pasadena during this tour. It was so amazing and their show was a mind blowing experience ❤

I'm a white boy, stuck at an intersection in AR. 58yrs old, Was playing the Gap Band, windows down and a black/white chicks next to me...18-20yrs old and freaked out! nothing better than those girls going insane to the music, smiles/laughter and grovin to it (old white guy and his son, we were). It's not what you are...it's who you are. Fav concert(s) Four Tops and Temptations on one stage, Led Zep, Pink Floyd and 2PAC. How f*cked up am I??? Note...I'm not :)

I was there.. it was beautiful. Best band in the world.. so glad you're reacting to this. ❤

I recommend: Shine on you crazy diamond, keep talking and high hopes - all from the same concert. You will not be disappointed!

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out on the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now. The child has grown, the dream is gone... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA best verse in music history. Not to mention the following solo....

The greatest solo ever recorded.

Love that you didn't pause the video, just vibed. Well done, sub earned. Gonna peep your catalog to see if you've reacted to pearl jam yet.

I saw thus concert in KC at Arrowhead, and yes it was overwhelming!!

Imagine 1994 nobody has a smartphone. All of the People enjoying the Moment.

I was 15 In my best friends room and it's the first time getting stoned. This song played and I fell in love with Floyd..

I guess that I grew up listening to LP's & cassettes, I'm always jaded against live performances. That said, although this is very good, your first instinct to listen to the original (or even an early live version) was the correct one! :)

I know a guy who was at this show at the Rose Bowl Stadium in CA, the light show shut down air traffic.

Saw this in El Paso, TX in 93. This was awesome!

i was at the show in Houston. 1994. it was overwhelming!

Thing is. this is not the finale. The closing song was 'Run like hell' and the lights get even freakier.

I was at this concert in Vancouver, Canada 94' Nothing compares

I am old enough 😃 and was lucky enough to be at this concert. I was sitting just to the left of the glitter ball. Amazing night.

I was lucky enough to see the band perform at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on April 17, 1994. The disco ball came up from the floor instead of hanging from the ceiling. I was sitting quite close to it and the sound of the hydraulics startled me a little. Needless to say, one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

There's people who think that IS the best guitar solo ever, maybe it is, but I feel like "Sorrow" (same concert) has a more powerful one, I'm sure you're gonna love it. Also, the closer song is called "Run Like Hell" and it's light show is amazing.

My personal favorite guitar solo of all-time...and probably the most tasteful guitarist ever

I was there. London 1994. And I'll never forget.

David Guilmour is the guitarist You should listen to - Pink Floyd: Coming Back to Life A relatable song with such a beautiful guitar solo

You need to react to more Pink Floyd! Their most famous albums are "Dark Side Of The Moon, "Animals," "Wish You Were Here," and of course "The Wall." Those four albums will make you a Pink Floyd fan for life! If you can listen to the songs in order and fully in each album you'll be amazed, as each song leads into the next one. They were masters of sound and experiences. You don't listen to a Floyd song, you experience it. A lot of their songs are longer than normal, but you'll say "That's it?" when you finish one of the longer ones. People LOVE Pink Floyd reactions!!!

I saw them in Oakland in 1994 the best show of my life !

Saw them on the Division Bell your at Earl’s Court London. Phenomenal

One of the best live bands ever!

I was there at that very concert with an American girlfriend a the time. Imagine coming to England to meet again what you already thought was James Bond and Superman rolled into a better-looking package, and the first thing he does is present you with a ticket to see Pink Floyd from a fourth-row center seat. Even I can't believe how cool I was back then. No wonder she wore my arse out for the next 3 weeks solid. I was so glad when she went back to Florida because if she had stayed much longer I don't I would have survived a fourth. The Superman half of me may not be made of flesh and blood but the James Bond half is. What do they feed American women, on? Whatever it is, go easy on it, that stuff is dangerous.

Welcome to the Pink Floyd family. and just like that Pink Floyd is a part you. And you will want to hear more. we all been there

JaySahra: This son is beautiful me: You are! I was lucky to be there on that tour in Mexico city, amazing!

I do the same....would listen to all music past and present.

I got to see this concert in Oakland - and it was an amazing experience. I got to see them at the Hornet Stadium in Sacramento for the Delicate Sound of Thunder Tour (I remember most of it) which was also amazing. The Pink Floyd sound started off a bit too popish until after Syd Barrett drifted off into a different direction. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a super great tribute to their former band member. I recommend any performance of it, but best it's experienced LIVE.

This wasn't the ending of the concert, that is Run Like Hell, please react to that. I was at this show, it was my 21st birthday too. Check out Sultans of Swing live from the Alchemy concert. Incredible performance.

ALL PINK FLOYD fans will automatically be quiet during the guitar solo. David Gilmour is BRILLIANT.

I was there, Earls Court, London 1994, awesome!

I was there at earls court London that night, absolutely sensational night.

Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb released 9/75; This is a story of an original band member(Roger Waters) that has trashed his hotel room and chased a young lady of the night out of his room screaming, Roger is having a nervous breakdown, and although he has made it very big in the music industry and has become comfortably numb financially but emotionally bankrupt. The hotel wake-up knock on the door and the words "it's time to go" are from the hotel people trying to get him to the show. A doctor is called hence "there will be a little pinprick "there will be no more AHAHAH" his hands felt like 2 ballons is the result of the drug and emotional state of the band member. A very good viewing is Pink Floyd the Wall ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oIZUJ4Msv7U.html it's a video that encompasses all the music on a 2 cd audio disc and a story that will explain most of the cuts it's a great afternoon of entertainment.

This song is just one act from Pink Floyd's rock opera "The Wall". As beautiful as this song is the true meaning behind it gets sadly lost out of context. This is where the main character is near death from drug overdose due to his depression and feeling like a piece of meat to his manager, producers and fans and all of the above prove him right by injecting him with more medication so he can go out on stage and make them more money. The Wall is such a piece of art showing many many faces of society. This song is just a taste of what the whole album holds. If you watch the movie and feel cheated afterwards, I'll cover the debt. PEACE/JT

If you want a juicy, top shelf Pink Floyd song, try "Dogs" (the studio version w/lyrics). Yes it is long 17 minutes but what a journey....Pink Floyd videos don't get blocked so three pauses will do it. Also, Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) and there is another video for (Parts VI - IX). Those two are shorter only about 13 minutes each but again a top shelf journey.

David Gilmour will make a convert of anyone who loves amazing music. David. Gilmour. Another level, entirely.

David Gilmour is a master guitarist! He will mesmerize you !!

I was there, and there was an encore. Run Like Hell

Glad you got the headphones on

The incomparable, Mr. David Gilmour.

"Guitars want a David Gilmour for christmas"

first time I heard this, in concert. wife corrected me, 1980

One of these Days , Run like Hell , Sorrow , Learning to Fly , High Hopes , Coming back to Life just a few of the classics from this 1994 concert that you MUST react to . But please only the Pulse versions not studio stuff .Guaranteed you will be a Pink Floyd fan for the rest of your life . I was hooked in 1965 / 66 when I first heard these guys .

Wish you were here, Pink Floyd. Silent Lucidity, Queensryche.

I can understand someone not liking a certain kind of music but Pink Floyd is on another level

I saw them play in Vancouver.

Great reaction! Your instincts are correct, you should react to the studio version first because of the production quality, then react to a live version which is an experience. Stay safe!

A 70 something man in jeans and tee shirt hypnotizing 18 thousand people.

If you want to hear David Gilmour on another Instrument you must hear Red sky at night from live in Gdansk

for a performance like that, you don't ask for an encore.....lol

Everybody is going to have their favorite Gilmour solo, and most of the time it's comfortably numb. My favorite is from On The Turning Away from the Delicate Sound Of Thunder. The lyrics for one, and more relevant than they ever have been. It will get you feelin some kind of way it gets all the way down in to your soul. But the solo......is the prettiest solo my ears have ever heard. You can hear Gilmour enunciate with the strings and just sing this beautiful song without words. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xEMy34qhQe4.html

I'm a Pink Floyd nut ! You need to go to a cover band concert with Brit Floyd. I will go with you LOL

You just need to get a rock album Pink Floyd Cd like Meddles Dark Side of The Moon Wish You Were Here Animals The Wall and you will be ok with rock after putting that in your car stereo and then to Led Zeppelin ..You can't pull that hook out...

Welcome to the family of Floydians my beloved sister.

I was there. One problem: it killed all the concerts I went to AFTER! :)

Yeahh Pink floyd

I've said this before; Leo Fender invented the Stratocaster, and God invented David Gilmour to make it sing.

Stevie Ray Vaughan greatest guitar player of all time. He died in a helicopter crash years ago 😔 but I guarantee you you will get an eargasm...he played the blues. Give it a try. Love from England, buy the way you are a sweetheart and this is coming from an Anglo Italian white man 😁✌️

A distant ships smoke on the horizon.... Eddie vedder covers this song brilliantly. He actually played it w Roger Waters and stole the show. Cheers

For an intro like you've never heard before, and some of the most profound lyrics in all of music, try the lyric video of Time ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A7pI96Osp9c.html ), off their Dark Side of the Moon album. That album was released in 1973 and was still on the charts when I graduated high school in 1984, and kept going!

*beautiful rap fan

Jesus.. Finally got to it.

Try Us and Them by Pink Floyd JayShara. The studio version is great. 😊🌹🌹🌹

if ya into great live performances so much ya gotta react to Nightwish's Ghost Love Score live 2013 in Wacken... enjoy :-)

Considered to be the greatest guitar solo in music history. Run Like Hell is the next and final song of the concert...all the stops are pulled out. Thanks for not pausing this masterpiece.

This wasn't the show closer actually, they upped the spectacularity for the encore "Run Like Hell", explosive performance

David Gilmour is the guitarist.

I WAS there (well, for two of the twelve nights they played Earls Court) and you're absolutely right - it is one of the best gigs I have ever been to and we still talk about it to this day.

You just witness one of the greatest guitarist of all time!:)) Glad you liked it:)

Jayshara is broadening her music horizon which is wonderful

As beautiful as "Comfortably Numb" is, Pink Floyd has another song that, in my opinion, is equally as beautiful. Check out their song "High Hopes".

"Can you imagine being there?" Four times. It changed my music life. For the finale of the concert, check out "Run like Hell' from the same pulse concert. It will not disappoint you.

I consider David Gilmour one of the best guitarists. Not so much for some fantastic speed, but his immensely felt game. DG plays his Fender Stratocaster with heart and soul ... I love him!

Do yourself a favor Jay put on a good pair of headphones and listen to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd close your eyes and loose your self in the music. You will thank me later. Enjoy the ride!
