David Gilmour - Coming Back to Life (REACTION) with my wife

[@IanDarley]

This is beautiful, but you owe it to yourself to listen to the Pulse version = goosebumps. The most under played and underrated Floyd tune IMO.

[@davidellinsworth3299]

The remastered one though 👍

[@edwardtakacs6877]

Yes...this is nice, but the one you really need to see the "Pulse" re - mastered 😎 version...it's ok...let's do it again...only with the band and his Candle Apple 🍎 Red Stratocaster w/EMG pickups...

[@davidellinsworth3299]

Listen to the Pulse remastered version too.... un-freaking-believable

[@jarbeck1]

Tens of thousands of guitar players can play those notes. Millions of singers can sing those notes. None of them would sound like Gilmour.

[@geraldherrmann787]

Hey, my request, I´m so glad you liked it. Of course, the Pulse-version is highly recommended in the thread below, but for once I wanted to highlight his acoustic guitar capabilities.

[@963460]

Bravo 👏 this is a wonderful version of this track 👌🔥

[@ianfortier6796]

I think you made the right call. The PULSE version is top notch, but I've always loved this version.

[@charger348]

This along with Marooned and Sorrow performed at the Fender 50th concert, excellent versions.

[@thenote2367]

​@@charger348 yes, David stole the show at that Strat Pack concert. The version of Marooned is best one out there. Immaculate. Crowd was stunned.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Once again, thanks a lot! It was so beautiful 😍

[@RushfanUK]

A beautifully crafted performance, Gilmour doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for the way in which he orchestrates and directs backing singers.

[@todquarles1695]

There is another performance from this concert that you should check out. Richard Wright (also of Pink Floyd) joins David on stage and they perform a song from one of Richard's solo albums called "Breakthrough." Great performance and a good look into the musical chemistry between those two.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you...we got it on our list. Can't wait to listen to it! 😁

[@randallmccoy8581]

Over 30 years ago , David Gilmour was the sole reason that I had to play guitar and that it had to be a Fender Stratocaster. It sits beside my couch and I will never sell it.

[@hobbyracer37]

David was 70 years old when he played this concert. David Gilmour - Coming Back To Life (Live At Pompeii)

[@thecarguy7238]

56 years old. Meltdown concert was in 2002. He was born 1946

[@LuizCarlos-uq5iy]

David e Rich, in these show Breakthrough, and Wearing the inside Out. Beautiful.

[@keyrat1753]

Beautiful performance. Check out the PULSE CONCERT version of Coming Back to Life. You will not be disappointed!

[@phonebone81]

Hey you lovely couple, I consider David Gilmour to be a multi-talented musician because he not only does excellent guitar work, but also composes, writes lyrics and arranges excellently. Although this song for P.F. and also for D.G. relationships is very short, but it is still intense and full of love. Thanks for sharing and best wishes @all from HH (Germany)

[@donfite9269]

I would love to see your reaction to "Smile". His wife Polly wrote these lyrics also. The best version is on the "On an Island" live DVD.

[@rosuobs3972]

Hi ho, very good but you have missed the best version, which is the 'PULSE' concert, which is excellent, that's the one I thought you would be doing !!!!!, three cheers to you two thanks

[@kennethhickey8241]

So many great versions of Coming back to life! If you really want to experience some great Live David Gilmour... Check out Remember that night concert at Royal Albert Hall Great mix of gilmour floyd and more

[@FadyHelou-ft2tp]

Coming back to life is from Division Bell album by Pink Floyd which is a heavy song ,and once performed by David Gilmour with his acoustic guitar meaning to us how much is David Gilmour an extraordinary musician .

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

You will never regret listening to this man, anything Gilmore or Pink Floyd ❤

[@jryamaguchi]

Bless you 😊

[@jim5247]

You are going to hear from Dave for sneezing during him playing. There is some videos of Dave in the Abbey Road Studios playing in front just a few people. no light show. "the Blue, on an island, take a breathe, smile, acoustic short version of echoes". David Gilmours "barn jams" 121, 166, over 200 where recorded " Just Dave, Guy, Rick, Steve in a barn jamming, no singing and his wife Polly taking pictures. Pure Music.

[@yvesblues560]

❤❤❤Love and share your passion ❤❤❤

[@flubblert]

Just to clarify, Polly is only associated with some of Floyd lyrics on their final two original albums from '87 and '94. Roger Waters was the band's primary Lyricist for most of their career. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest lyricists in all of rock. This session having been recorded some time in the early 2000s, this song from 1994 would indeed have been "a blast from the past" by that time. And yes, you really should avail yourselves to the amazing Pulse version of this song.

[@ianfortier6796]

Just to piggyback on your comment, this is from one of the Meltdown concerts he did in 2002. They were a series of stripped down and intimate shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

[@flubblert]

@@ianfortier6796 appreciate that. Correction made.

[@RushfanUK]

@@ianfortier6796 It was the Robert Wyatt Meltdown Festival and this was at the Royal Festival Hall not the RAH, very different venues, RAH with a capacity of 5000 odd is not very intimate.

[@deanadewall8400]

Polly and David didn't meet until after his divorce in 1990. She was only involved in the Division Bell and his solo albums.

[@flubblert]

​​@@deanadewall8400yeah, so pretty limited involvement. 👍

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Pd.- Blast from the past = The song is from the 1994 album "The Division Bell".

[@anthonyhitchman9789]

Hey guys love your comments I can tell you have a great relationship. Might I just suggest that you buy their entire back catalogue and spend 2 weeks binge listening. I can see how much you really like Floyd. Probably my favourite band of all time ❤❤❤❤

[@philipkudrna5643]

I only knew this from the pulse concert, where he plays it on a Stratocaster. In this intimate arrangement, with an acoustic guitar and the harmonies done by a background choir, the song is even more compelling.

[@ShaneMccormick-d8d]

That made my day to see you reacting to another one of my favorithey wrote songs. This concert sold out in less than 24 hours. Good good stuff here. You know

[@Rassskle]

Thank you for this unseen accoustic version...... a pleasant surprise. Of course, the full on version from Pulse is arguably the highlight of the whole concert..... a masterpiece .

[@guteborn3208]

This song is my anthem. It starts so sad and in a way complaining. The point is stay in the past with all them pains or kill the past and live in the moment. Everyone has baggage, let Newton handle it and move on.

[@jessrodriguez9160]

Great reaction you two. This song is very uplifting. I was actually going to request through the buy me a coffee link the live version from Pompeii. It is from his show in Pompeii from 2017. He was 70 or 71 yrs old at the time. That whole concert is just very special given his age and the new nuances he adds to his songs. I will request the "High Hopes" from the Pompeii performance. I know you have reacted to this song before, but it is well worth it. You will see.

[@tonigenerali]

hello. I heard "que legal😅" during Gilmour's solo. I'm Brazilian and in Portuguese legal means very cool. Congratulations on the videos. I love your channel

[@berndwolfram451]

Thanks

[@thomassanchez-oo6sb]

This song was written by his wife (girlfriend) at the time in 93 .. he added it to the division bell Album ✌🏼❤️🇺🇸🇺🇦

[@russphoto]

Cute sneeze........

[@mixell2021]

yes

[@Macca15]

I second and third everyone when I say that you should listen to the Pulse version.

[@blacksun691]

Me gustan muchísimo sus reacciones a David Gilmour y a Pink Floyd ☮️

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

I think you would really like his guitar playing on the songs 5 AM and the song called And Then from his album Rattle that Lock. Great stuff.

[@osmanyldran4363]

Gilmour wrote this song in 1993 and included it on the 1994 Pink Floyd album The Division Bell. The lyrics of the song also belong to Gilmour. Gilmour has said (as can be heard at the end of the song) that the song was written about his wife, Polly. David and Polly were married in 1994 during Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour. So, what you say is correct in a way. His wife is responsible for these lyrics. But not because she wrote it herself :))

[@stevevaughn3020]

Point of interest, , lady on far end in group closest to David with red bob is the blond backup singer in pulse concert

[@Boodieman72]

Polly, his wife has said before that David speaks but he uses the guitar as his voice.

[@YiorgosChronis]

In case you don't know, his lovely wife Polly is a well known and successful author, who also wrote almost all the lyrics of Pink Floyd after Roger Waters leaving.

[@ShaneMccormick-d8d]

Paulie wrote the lyrics to this sand quite a few othe whole division bell. She did most of the lyrics.

[@johncameron4968]

It’s a beautiful song and a great reaction, as always guys. Please react to A Boat Lies Waiting from the Rattle That Lock solo album, it’s in memory of the late, great Richard Wright R.I.P. You’ll love it!

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

You may want to check out if he is touring because I understand he may be, 2023 or 2024. You may be able to actually see him in person. Doubt I will get the chance in the US.

[@kristinaveirum]

This is a great but more acoustic live performance 👍🏼 But I was convinced that you’ve heard the Pulse performance, so I highly recommend that you guys 😉 Love from Denmark 🇩🇰 ❤

[@roadkill7314]

Definitely not your typical rock star! He looks like a farmer.

[@penshaw2]

My second favourite Pink Floyd song after Comfortably Numb. This version is the acoustic one rather than the proper one which I like even better.

[@runam3187]

David alone is good, but the rest of Floyd are very important for the final sound. That sound that creates new galaxies, parallel worlds and reaches our soul so deeply. If you listen to the band's version, you'll understand.

[@kippergc1]

Pulse😊

[@markschattefor6997]

David Gilmour is the living proof that less is more.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Agreed!

[@IndyYakr]

This version didn't even include the last solo (of which there were three) which was the best. Bummer.

[@thomassanchez-oo6sb]

How bout some Emerson Lake and Palmer… Trilogy ✌🏼🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

[@philmead7977]

You guys are wonderful, you've reacted to a lot of great stuff from Pulse, so i was kinda surprised when you chose to react to this acoustic version of Coming Back To Life, which by the way is very good, but in my opinion doesn't sound as good as the Pulse version✌

[@roballen5718]

this is great, but the electric original is better, imho

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

I paid for a reaction but didn't know how to copy a link.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Hi Kimberly, we will try to contact you on your email.

[@BazzSelby]

This acoustic version, lacks so much (in my opinion), compared to the original/live versions. :o(

[@GabrielNuno-n7j]

More Led Zeppelin

[@IndyYakr]

Many better versions of this song, what a shame.

[@heflinG6832]

Pulse version is way better than this one! At least check it out.
