REACTION: pink floyd - comfortably numb LIVE pulse concert 1994 

Pink Floyd can make anyone with a good soul have watery eyes.

I was in that concert and I cried for the whole length of the solo. the best solo in the history of music, still today I have the thrills to listen to it again

I'm a 60 year old brit who grew up with Floyd. I was at this gig & don't mind admitting that I cried most of the way through. The whole experience of the sound, the lights & the atmosphere is overwhelming.

Pink Floyd concerts were a mind altering, life changing experience . It's so nice to see a young lady appreciate our old fogey music

"On the Turning Away" live will stir your emotions as well...another moving Gilmour guitar performance.

This song is a bit of an oxymoron. Lyrically its very depressing, but Gilmore's guitar solo instantly cures the listener of any depressive feelings whatsoever. It can and does make one cry, but they are always tears of heavenly joy! Every Psychiatrist and Psychologist should prescribe Comfortably Numb to their patients.

That emotion you felt is what so many of us have felt. You're made for this because this music speaks to you on a much deeper level. You definitely need to take a deep dive into them. You will love yourself for it .

This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average 45,000 audience. And I was one of them. I attended this concert two consecutive evenings at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, May 23 and 24, 1994. At the end, while leaving the stadium, the gaze of the spectators said a lot about what they had just witnessed. Everyone seemed "Comfortably Numb".

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin were the pinnacle of rock music.

I feel like crying every time I watch this song. I am 55 years old and this song is so amazing. I have been a PF fan for 35 years and they never get old. So cry and rejoice in a truly amazing band. There are very few bands that come close to PF today 😀

Saw them 1994 in Indianapolis. Oh my what a great performance! You have no idea how great it was! I still cry! They are known for their lights shows going back to when they first formed.

Pink Floyd made the show for the fans. They had an unlimited budget for the stage show. Saw this tour, 4th row seats. A bucket list item. Great reaction.

it´s so cool to see somebody of your generation react so intensely to music. music! to feel a guitar that sings like a voice.

Ari, I've been a Floyd fan since I was younger than you, about a zillion years ago. I was always impacted by their music and lyrics, often in a way I couldn't describe. Like you, I've been thrown into emotional states I didn't see coming from the music (Time and Comfortably Numb, especially). Among the MANY similar reviews I've seen on RU-vid, you demonstrated a deeper, more profound understanding of the music than many people I'm guessing are *twice* your age. You are wise, intelligent and insightful beyond your years. Kudos!

the crowd was mesmerized

62 here. I can remember when I was your age, even younger when I first got a taste of Pink Floyd. Been hooked ever since!

Pink Floyd is well known for their light shows. Can you imagine being there? I've been listening to them from the beginning.

This is the greatest guitar solo live ever from the best concert in history of music. David Gilmore have different tone he don't need speed. Every note is a piece of his heart. 200 years from now people speak about pink Floyd the same way speaking for Mozart and Picasso.

Pink Floyd are an experience they take you on a journey into an ethereal world and the more you list the more it's etched into your brain

They came to Tampa stadium in the mid 90's. 60,000 people and the stadium was shaking.. Outstanding sound and lights.. 👍😎

The "Pulse" show was just one stop on the worldwide "Division Bell" tour Pink Floyd did in 1994. I saw one of the shows - it was exactly like this - phenomenal!

Regarded as the best live solo ever by most respected music and guitar magazines. The whole concert is stunning , with Dark Side of the Moon playing in its entirety also Cool reaction

Probably the best guitar solo of all time. Epic. David never had to shred. Every note hit you like it just had to be there. Like it was sent from above. The most melodic, passionate solos ever. The only thing better is Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Goosebumps everywhere. Mystical, magical, euphoric, soulful. Yes, beautiful art makes us cry...it's a beautiful thing. So happy to see youngins love the music that rocked our world. 👍❤🤙

So well said, "Traveling to a different mind space." That sums up Pink Floyd in just one phrase.

You give me hope for your generation! Intelligent and beautiful and seemingly with a great head on your shoulders! Love your reactions to the classics❤ ✌️

I saw 2 shows from this tour and it was totally amazing, mesmerizing and perfection. The lights and lasers were beyond belief!!!🎼👌🎶👍😁

Pulse concert was amazing !!!!

Live is always best. Truest representation of their talent.

Gilmour does another extended guitar version of this 22 years later (2016) on his solo tour "Live At Pompeii", also on YT. And another one, with an orchestra, on "Live In Gdańsk" from 2008.

Pink Floyd is an incredible band. One unwritten rule when listening to them is headphones highly recommended.. You checked that box. The most important unwritten rule is to Never pause a David Gilmore solo.. on that one, you failed, but you almost made it. Nice reaction tho..

Pink floyd are brilliant live.i was there at that concert,truly amazing,seen them twice,mind blowing experience never to be forgotten.love your reaction to rock bands,ive seen many over the years.been a fan of floyd since the early 70s,same as led zeppelin & queen.dont get pure masterpieces like this anymore.

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend at the time and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.

Welcome to Pink Floyd, I’m 67 years old & I cry every time I watch this. I’m always thankful that I I lived to experience this.

The entire concert, the lights were co-ordinated with the music. Pink Floyd were famous for their light shows (along with their music of course), and I think this was their best. I don't think it's ever been beaten.

Wish You Were Here, from this same concert, excellent also!

this was 30 years into their career- please watch the "ordinary guys" doing "echoes : live in pompeii 1972" 🙂

Lovely, thoughtful reaction. You are not the only person to be moved to tears by this performance. Listen to ‘Sorrow’ from the same concert.

"Echoes" live at Pompei. Pink Floyd when they were young.

This is one of the best rated guitar's solos ever. It's not technical, yet David Gilmour makes his guitar tell a story. Look at the crowd, no phone like today and everyone is being in the moment. I miss the old days

Another Pink Floyd song with beautiful guitar is "High Hopes"

Hello, I cried today while viewing your reaction. It's ok to cry. I'm blessed knowing my generation will survive. I'm 72 y.o. man.

David Gilmore's guitar prowess can give anyone a spiritual experience!!! Watery eyes included!!! Great review!!!

Very refreshing to see a young person enjoy this. You have mature musical taste. Great job…

Nice to see young people enjoying the greatest bands from way back

The lighting scheme was designed by Marc Brickman and built by Mark Fisher. It required 700 tons of steel and 33 trucks to transport it. It took 3 days to set up and 2 days to take down so there were 3 complete versions of it that leapfrogged each other from city to city as the tour progressed.

Awesome reaction!!!! Pink Floyd resonates with your soul!!! No doubt about it. Check out all the other songs I mentioned in your 1st reaction to Comfortably Numb. They too will blow your mind

I attended about half a dozen of the Earl's Court concerts, having been to the Wembley Stadium and London Docklands Arena gigs on the earlier tour. Having lived in the south east of London Iv'e attended hundreds of gigs from early Stones, Hendrix, Bowie, right through to White Stripes and Oasis. This was by far the best gig I've ever been to.

ITS LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD WAS JUST LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS. Never hold back tears...no other channel did.

Oh my God, I was at that 1994 tour in Foxboro, MA and believe me, I have seen plenty of Floyd fans in tears at their shows and I still get very emotional listening to their music since Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun back in the late 60s. Seeing or just listening to Pink Floyd has always been a religious experience for their fans and they have so much for you to discover. Next for some more live stuff, but from their younger days, try Echoes, Live at Pompeii in 1973. The video is in 2 parts because it originally opened and closed the documentary about their show in the ancient amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy. That song will take you on a trip as powerful as what you just saw but in a different way but it is a banger and utter classic. That song closed many a party I was at in the 70s. Thanks again for doing these awesome, classic bands, wait until you start discovering the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the WHO, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, etc.Lucky You and all of us for seeing old music become new again and seeing how timeless that era of music really was and is. Take care and Rock On! 🎵

I just got done watching your reaction videos for the first time on LED ZEP and PINK FLOYD. Very well done.I love the fact that at your age as young as you are you love this music. Please keep making reaction videos

When you mentioned the people being still.. That's a Pink Floyd concert, because the music flows into you, and you are spellbound.

You need to react to pink floyd the great gig in the sky. 3 woman sing with no words and you feel the soul of these woman. It's so powerful

Hi gorgeous i was there in 1994 it was the best I've seen them 7 times. Hugs and kisses from Glasgow xx.

Love seeing your reaction to this. I was at this concert and it was an amazing experience. For me, Dave Gilmore can produce a sound like no other. He seems to be able to reach inside your soul and bring out your feelings and emotions. It affects everyone in a different way. Has an amazing gift and i am so grateful that he and many other artists were around at the time for me to enjoy. Stay safe and keep enjoying being you x

I saw this show at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. It was just as amazing and probably more, than you can imagine, especially when we experienced this particular song.

The Pulse Concert is the best concert I have ever witnessed on video ever! I wish I could have been there. I may not have not have been same afterwards. I wouldn't look at any other concert the same way. It would have been so much more than any other

You would love Sorrow from the same concert. I guarantee it

Oh my God. I watched this reaction twice today. The second time was with you. I have many people react to this. Yours was the best reaction I have ever seen. It was the first time I saw you. I instantly subscribed. I saw this concert 4 times. You are the only one that experienced it the way I did. I was halfway back. When the lights went bright, you could feel the heat. When the mirror ball was illuminated it was if the sun was present. I don't do patreon but if you want a suggestion, that was the next to last song. Try run like hell from the same concert. It's a true pleasure meeting you!

pink floyd is not a band or a concert !! it is an EXPERIENCE!!!

I’m 70 and remember when this album came out way back in 1973. More times than I can remember firing up a joint or bong and either cranking up the speakers or headphones and getting lost in the music. Fondest of memories! Had great seats in Vancouver BC for the Pulse tour concert. As someone who has been blessed seeing 35+ major concerts this was the best. Early PF was very different. This was their 8th studio album. For a greater appreciation check out the making of Dark Side of the Moon at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zoW3HToOv0o.htmlsi=ReGYzWphPB3xB8qv Rock on!

High Hopes from the same concert will also bring a tear to your eye.

Wow... the words you use to describe you're feelings, how you experience it, i understand exactly what you mean!!

Great reaction!! It was an amazing experience to see live. Saw them live on this Pulse tour at the Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. There were 47,000 fans, and I had 18th row seats on the floor. When that mirror ball was lit up, it was above and behind me. So i had the band in front, the mirror ball behind, and it was a total submersive event!! Had also seen them in 1987 in Austin, and this was truly an experience of a lifetime!!!

I listened to the song A Great Day For Freedom by Pink Floyd...Live in Gdansk..Gilmours solo turned magic (like it did here), and I cried for the sake of pure beauty.

PF always used the cutting edge tech of the day. Crying during a Gilmour guitar solo is not unusual.

From the same Pulse Concert (1994), check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL. Both are MUST SEE performances.

subbed!!! your reaction & review was PERFECT!!!

I was at Earls Court to see the Pulse tour....the night before the recording was made...utter brilliance

Music is the best way to get your feeling ..Be free be happy

One thing you have to realize is that this was the "Pulse" tour. So they were doing this whole show every night for months with minimal days off in between... playing at least 21 songs for over 2 hours. Do yourself a favor and RU-vid the full concert and watch that...life changing..cheers!

It really takes you to another place 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you. Bottom of my heart, thank you. These old bands went from "Wow! Did you hear this new song??!?!" to "Oh that old song?" To wondering if anyone would even remember how amazing this truly was. Now, as I approach the end of my time, to see young, beautiful people like you love this all new? Thank you. It will live on. Thank you.

In the live version, the second guitar solo is much longer. It's much more satisfying.

You said it's like they're in a trance right now ... COMFORTABLY NUMB !!!

Aging myself I saw them at Sundevil stadium in Tempe AZ back in the day and was the craziest/best concert I’ve ever been

Ari I love your reaction You are so into everything music, lighting, stage, and there professionalism....YOUR AWESOME

Having seen this concert twice, we all came out in awe and just completely blown away by the experience and believe me, it was an experience! Been to a lot of concerts and been listening to PF from the get go, there are no better!

Hope u continued on your floyd journey and loved every moment🤞, this kinda feels like when a new series gets cancelled😊

This was from a time of the greatest music. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, David Bowie, Simon and Garfunkel, Steppenwolfe, Janis, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, and so many more all at the same time. Never again will this creativity be all at once. Such a great time to be alive for music, but not for much more. Times of war, racial tensions, riots on and off campuses, the bomb, and a nation and world greatly divided.

I love your reaction to this masterpiece, simply thank you soo much🙏💚

This whole Pulse concert is amazing! Another great song from this concert is 'Sorrow.' I also suggest the live version of 'On the Turning Away' from the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. Pink Floyd is known for their laser light shows as well as their amazing live performances. I was fortunate enough to see the guitarist/lead singer David Gilmour on his solo tour in 2016, when he performed a lot of classic Pink Floyd songs. If you ever want to check him out from one of those more recent shows, I suggest either 'Comfortably Numb' (David Gilmour, Live in Pompeii, 2016) or 'In Any Tongue (David Gilmour, Live in Pompeii, 2016).

I saw Pink Floyd 3 times in the 90's.. Unbelievable shows. Still to this day, the best concerts I've seen.. 👍👏🙏

Same concert...Coming Back To Life, Sorrow, Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell, High Hopes...what the hell, just watch the entire concert. You won't have copyright problems with Pink Floyd...no need to pause.

btw when they were younger they looked like total rock stars😃

Yeh I think you get it, I love the fact that young people like you get this song, I've listened to this song hundreds of times and still get emotional

The word you’re looking for is “sublime”. These sounds and imagery are subliminal, beyond the conscious, aimed straight at the part of the brain that makes dreams, remembers all the way back to primal energy, and sees the entire universe’s secrets revealed, just as easily as it craves chocolate. No band ever hit that target more punctually than Pink Floyd. 🥰

It's called the pink floyd experience, because it's more than the individuals.

You are so right.... they let the music and lights be they show, not actions and antics on stage.

Gilmour is a god. His voice is spooky and his guitar is extraterrestrial.

Perfect, the greatest guitar solo ever filmed You're right about the audience, trance... I saw Floyd at Knebworth in the UK and you do stand there entranced, tears do fall To see a great live performance, watch Dire Straights Sultans of Swing and also Telegraph Road, from the Alchemy show

Hi there I just discovered your channel. Really enjoying it. David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler are my 2 favorite artists ever. If you like to discover Mark Knopfler with Dire Straits, the live performance of a song called Telegraph Road LIVE Alchemy 1983 is so epic with amazing guitar solo. Really recommend it. Cheers from Australia 😊👍

Such a delight seeing younger people appreciate great music. No auto tune, no tracking, just pure live talent. The back story is when he was younger he was sick. Fast forward, while doing a show in Philly, he was sick and the Dr. gave him medicine, not drugs, to get thru the show...

David Gilmour doesn't just play guitar, he plays your heart strings. It's OK to cry when he plays.

"Run Like Hell" from this same concert is epic, too.

I almost forgot to mention the song "Learning To Fly" , you will love that one too !

Great reaction! I’ve seen a few reactions to an amazing live performance of Shoshana Bean doing “Make it Rain” at the Ace theater. Amazing voice and performance

Saw this Tour, was awesome, still have my ticket stub.

Vocal and lead guitarist David Gilmour singing about he`s drug abuse in younger days in this song. And one of the best solo ever! 😍

The greatest single musical performance in history with the greatest guitar solo in history (from Comfortably Numb) in one concert. There can be no question that this concert literally changed the lives of all in attendance for the better. "How I wish I were there...." If you like epic guitar solos and the best songs that Pink Floyd has to offer, well, now that you've heard the best song on their album "The Wall", you must now hear the best song on their greatest album, "The Dark Side of the Moon". That song is called "TIME" and has the greatest intro that I've ever heard along with the best studio album solo in Pink Floyd's library.
