The intro puts one in a meditative mood, a perfect mindset for the messages in this song. Chills when female singer wails it out loud 'n' proud!

[@lorriredmon8212]

This has to be my favorite song of all of Pink Floyd. It just means a lot to me lyrically. Thanks for this.

[@79BlackRose]

I prefer this to Comfortably Numb (as a song and as a performance) on the Pulse tour. Thank you for featuring my recommendation eventually. 😅

[@pfinnigan70]

This is actually Delicate Sound Of Thunder Tour in the late 80's👍🏻

[@79BlackRose]

@@pfinnigan70 Yes, indeed.

[@gbsailing9436]

I really think the beginning of "Coming Back To Like" is a much better example of David's subtle excellence on the guitar. The opening is to die for!!!

[@AnthonyKellett]

One of my favourite performances and solos. I'd even pick this over the famed Comfortably Numb solo, from Pulse (which is saying something, given how special is that one!).

[@CoolCoyote]

lullaby songs are the best blues/folky/rock space blues for pink floyd

[@anthonymoore1705]

mark was born in scotland, but his mum was english and his dad was hungarian, but brought up in newcastle.

When you start to discover the Pink Floyd catalogue for the first time, very often the first song that you listen to is your favourite ......... until the next song, then THAT becomes your favourite ........ until the the next one after that and then THAT becomes your favourite ......... and so on and so forth!

🎸🎶 This song is so remarkable! I can't really believe that David Gilmore is 78 yrs old! How time flies. He is such an extraordinary musical talent and his dedication is still as strong as ever on his new album, which he is also touring! Wow🎸What a remarkable musician he still is.That solo - speachless... 🙏🎸🎶

[@sylviolebrun3032]

Very good analysis. Just imagine the a capella moment in a 50k+ loaded stadium. That tour is as epic as every other one for those who witnessed it live. First tour without Roger Waters. Guy Pratt was the 3rd era bassist, and still is to this day, Gilmour's bassist.

[@reptarshane]

Love The Beagles Shirt. One of my favourites is "Tabby Road" - tabby cats walking across the Abbey Road crossing. :)

[@FaanaMusic]

Haha, I haven't seen that one, I should complete my collection, haha.

[@reptarshane]

@@FaanaMusic love your videos by the way - watching you play along and pointing out the technical things they’re doing. I can’t make heads or tails of Mark Knopfler, even if I’m playing the same notes!!

[@adriantippins3605]

Your next reaction HAS to be "Sorrow" from the Pulse concert. Tone, tone and more tone....and then the king of tones!

1988...A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON TOUR ( A DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER LIVE)

[@CoolCoyote]

da bass also key , percussion

[@silgen]

Mark Knopfler was born in Glasgow, but he was raised in Blyth in the NE of England, and still has a Geordie accent (like mine, in fact). David has just done a couple of gigs with his daughter Romany in his local pub, he'd have no problem playing in your tent. That's not Roger, he left the band 3 years before, that Guy Pratt, a much better bassist.

[@jeffreywolff329]

David played listen to BB King and other U.S blue musicians trying to find his sound there are Jeff Beck was another one he was influenced so many musicians

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

This was a great performance, but I would argue that the Pulse concert version is better. This could be the only time I have seen Gilmour tap a note.

[@melaniezette886]

How does it creates it

[@Steen55]

Do your self a favor and listen to: Coming Back To Life from the Pulse live Concert

[@RushfanUK]

No Roger in this, Guy Pratt is the bass player, Roger had left Floyd for good, Guy has been working with David for over 30 years now and is his bass player on the current round of gigs in support of Luck and Strange.

[@FaanaMusic]

Thanks for clarifying, someone has already mentioned it here, I was a bit suspicious whether it's him too, so my hunch was right, but I just assumed.

[@rynooosth]

David is rhe goat

[@rhizar93]

Comfortably Numb, Coming Back to Life next

[@znk0r]

He's already done comfortably numb

[@dboss7239]

Excellent analysis as usual. However, this was Pink Floyd after Roger left, so that bass part was not composed by nor played by Mr Waters. Though many would argue the bulk of the musicality and musical genius flowed through Gilmour and Wright. Have you seen any of the material from David's latest album released a few weeks ago? His website has a series of short demos of the various guitars he is using and you can see a small sample of pedals and modulators he uses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4fVhJqBjr1ln9E ( David's Guitars: #1 The Alice Guitar (Extended Version) ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ7Rc6ienNqXoM0 ( David's Guitars: #2 The Rickenbacker Frying Pan Guitar ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqnWqHminMiWgtk ( David's guitars: #3 the black Gretsch guitar ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnXHlqdnhqpkhc0 ( David's guitars: #4 the Martin D-18 guitar ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIrZnp-ro6iBi9E ( David Gilmour - Luck and Strange Making Of (Guitar Swell) ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/in_bn6N6idxkbM0 ( David Gilmour - Luck and Strange Making Of (Guitar Moments) ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3ubiGx_fZV2n9U ( David's guitars: #4 the Gibson E-335 guitar ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqSlnoyaaNNmqaM ( David's guitars: #5 The Cümbüş Guitar )

Oh, you are right I wasn't quite sure it was him, thank you for pointing it out.

[@FaanaMusic]

Also thank you for the recommendations!

@@FaanaMusic And if you really want to feel like you are in Gilmour heaven, watch the behind the scenes making of On An Island: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGfdiGl3rK-qja8 ( David Gilmour - The Making Of An Island (Behind The Scenes) ) The man is pure musical genius.

[@alexanderforbes5125]

Gilmour is a Scottish name

[@ToddSauve]

Does it have Norman roots? The "our" in Gilmour makes me wonder if it does.

[@ToddSauve]

I think you will have to look long and hard to find a better and tastier guitar solo. It is my favourite from David Gilmour. 👌😉🎸🎸🎸💖
