David's Guitar Solo Is SOUL PIERCING! Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away (Remastered) [Reaction]

[@carolinefreeman8208]

It's often said of Jimi Hendrix that he could make the guitar talk. David Gilmour can make his guitar sing, cry, wail and scream. Nobody plays guitar with so much emotion and soul as David. He is absolutely unique. Often imitated but never equalled

[@michaelcanning2204]

Yeah, I love Hendrix, but the absolute perfection of Gilmour hitting those strings is a true oratory pleasure!

[@sumeti7987]

👍YES !!! 🤗

[@napnip]

Greatest guitar solo ever. Even better than Stairway to Heaven, and that's saying something.

[@mooniejohnson]

Jimi could imbue his guitar with the raw emotions of the time... he wasn't a "precise" guitarist by any means, but you can feel the emotion. David is like taking that emotion and focusing it right into your soul. I don't think they can really be compared, but I *do* prefer David's "every note has to mean something" approach.

[@ParkourSchweiz]

If you cry when David plays his guitar, you're my friend.

"On the Turning Away" is probably the most beautiful Pink Floyd song. The sequence of notes, vocal or instrumental, act like a secret key which opens he innermost doors to your soul letting all emotions break free. It is a masterpiece.

[@artbagley1406]

Apologies are not needed for such a human reaction to beautiful music and sentiments. You have fulfilled the songwriters' and musicians' efforts to make us FEEL and become AWARE. Pink Floyd is such an "immersive" band. EDIT: I'm blown away when the "Sisters" cannot be out-decibel-ed by the rest of the band. The treble frequencies in their voices pierce through the magnificence of the guitars AND the drums.

[@timothyevans7383]

It's ok to cry to Pink Floyd....

[@danbyron5136]

Never apologize for experiencing any kind of emotion while listening to Pink Floyd, your tear involuntarily rolled from your eye as soon as you comprehended the meaning of that phrase. The great mystery of Pink Floyd has always been how each song can mean one thing to one person and completely something else for someone else, it is genuinely a very interpersonal experience. And it can mean something different altogether tomorrow, making their music truly timeless.

[@J3scribe]

I love how Dave brought the choral voices to the forefront. He's definitely a rhythm and blues man.

[@kevinnimmo2621]

Im 42. Me & a few mates travelled from Scotland to see him playing acoustic stuff at the Royal festival hall in around 2002 i think. Anywho...he played "Coming Back To Life" & i was sitting on the edge of my seat, tearing up, full of emotion. I was embarrased to turn round to my friend as i thought he would think i was being a dick. Anywho...when it fully kicked in i had lost it & hard to turn round...turns out...the whole row was crying...as was the row behind that...and behind that and the row infront. Probs the whole place !!!! How powerfull...just from a few notes played sparingly & perfectly executed. I have seen many, many artists & great acts since...that few seconds will stay with me forever.

[@roberthickman2907]

I know that this is an older video, and I don't expect you to see this, but not only does Pink Floyd put emotions into their lyrics they put emotions into their music, I have never seen a band who can do those two things I have seen bands who put emotions in their music and I have seen bands that put emotions in their lyrics, but never both.

@Mark G. Before you get rid of the VHS copy, you gotta try and find a digital copy of the original VHS. The 2019 re-edit is definitely an upgrade but there's something about the original release.i still have my VHS copy as well and downloaded a digital backup from KZbin. Both versions are amazing. FYI, IMO Comfortay Numb is better in it's original form on both DSOT and the Knebworth concert from 1990. The re-edits of the particular track don't quite do it for me.
