FIRST TIME REACTION To Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (Pulse Concert)

[@SirHilaryManfat]

Congratulations, you've successfully passed the first rule of Pink Floyd.... Not interrupting a David Gilmour guitar solo (which is a punishable offence). Kudos!

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

I was ready to throw something if they interrupted it! Lol

[@stevegreen5552]

Which explains why I cursed when an ad broke into the solo!

[@vinnyganzano1930]

It carries the death penalty.

[@jackchilds8322]

Absolutely

[@philipkudrna5643]

As probably somebody has already pointed out in the comments, the song is not about an „acid trip“ it is about a real life experience by former band member Roger Waters, who became severely ill before a concert. The verse is the doctor trying to help him („Can you show me where it hurts?“) The Chorus is the patient („your lips move, but I can‘t hear what you‘re saying“). The doctor then gives him a medical drug („just a little pin prick“), so that he is fit enough to play the concert. („that‘l keep you going through the show“). Waters said that he felt „comfortably numb“ throughout the concert and it reminded him of the state when he was a child and had a severe fever. So it‘s about a kind of trip, but rather from an illness and not from drug abuse.

[@markh.7650]

Almost anyone who doesn't know the "basic facts" (to borrow a line from the song) almost always gets the meaning wrong. Just because the song is so trippy, much like this ignorant fellow, they think it's about an acid trip, but it shows that they are NOT listening and understanding the lyrics. I could write a master's thesis on what this song means to me, but I will spare the keystrokes here.

[@jamiezaman]

Waters may have written the lyrics but you can thank Gilmore for the end product and the sound because Waters vision of the song sounded so different, They had so many busy ups over comfortably numb .

Lots of specialist on here folks, obviously part of the band as a few different versions about it? Best to listen and enjoy and maybe keep the ins and outs for the playground guys.

[@thefuturefactory56]

Welcome to one of the greatest songs ever written and quite possibly the best Pink Floyd song Waters and Gilmour put together, not to mention one of the most beautiful, powerful and moving guitar solos in music history. I was too young to see them when they were playing Dark Side Of The Moon but went to the best concert in my life in 1988 when they toured Australia. Even after listening to numerous versions of this song it still sends shivers up my spine.

[@n3wsymtl]

It's been said, but worth repeating: You've just listened to what is largely considered the best guitar solo in Rock history.

[@jthaw]

There is much truth in your observation. With that said, there are a few other solos that rank up there with this from Gilmore: Page and Stairway to Heaven; Clapton and the live Filmore version of Crossroads; Hendrix and All Along the Watchtower; Felder and Walsh and Hotel California. I am surely missing others, but those are a good start.

[@russellsmith2409]

Possibly. But watch Stevie Ray Vaughan texas flood live at the El Mocambo. That is if you're in to blues / rock.

[@russellsmith2409]

Pink Floyd is heavy in the light shows

[@mnewm21]

I have problems with that statement but then I have problems with just about every best of list ever created as they are all way to subjective. Music is art and subjective things should not be ranked in my opinion. I know just as many people who fall asleep in this solo as love it! I fall into the love it category personally but there are plenty of other solos that I also love.

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

Well, it's the best edited solo, this solo is taken from different sections from different dates of the tour.

[@direnova6284]

And then refuse to listen to them cos you're not into heavy metal drug music :D . David Gilmour has said that he'd love to hear DSotM for the first time and the thing is, you can with hypnotism. I saw Devin Brown do a show where they taught a girl to play piano to a concert level in no time at all. At the end it turned out she was a classically trained pianist who'd lost her passion and he'd hypnotised her into forgetting that she could do it. It reignited her love for it through the excitement of getting that good from "nowhere", it was all fresh to her again even though he'd given her her memories back.

When I was 20 I did not care about music that was popular 50 years in the past. But the music revolution started by these groups resonates with the young and will survive!

Try and watch Echoes live in Pompey when they were young, it's a must watch.

[@paul00390]

I was lucky enough to be at this concert and it was a full-body experience. It left me speechless.

[@Peter-eu7wp]

This was phenomenal but also check out anything from the 1973 Led Zeppelin concert at Maddison Square Gardens. Since I've been loving you, Stairway to Heaven in particular.

[@thenortherner3890]

Pink Floyd created iconic rock music, and the modern era arena light and sound shows that you go watch today. Total innovators.

[@anthonymoore1705]

now you've done comfortably numb, you have to do SULTANS OF SWING from dire straits, from the alchemy concert in 1983. amazing guitar playing.

[@RNTV]

We actually reacted to both of these the same day about a month ago. They've been fighting copyrights for the past month. Sultans of Swing will be up tomorrow.

[@anthonymoore1705]

@@RNTV great, hopefully we will be able to watch you react to it, marks an amazing guitar player with a unique playing style, which i hope you noticed?

[@an.american]

It's not acid, my friends. Pink Floyd’s music evokes a sense of nostalgic euphoria. It evokes a natural high. You're feeling it now. Great song ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@rkw2917]

Literally about taking pain killers to get through the performance Metaphorically about emerging as an adult into the world (caught a fleeting glimpse) Just my take

[@BlueDragon53]

I started listening to Pink Floyd with the album Ummagumma in 1969. This band and all the bands from this time period were the soundtrack of my formative years. I was fortunate to grow up in a house that listened to every kind of music under the sun everything from Classical to Jazz to Big Band Rock Pop Country. My Parents encouraged me to appreciate all styles of music.

How David Gilmour wasn't cooked under those spot lights i'll never know :)

[@bwphotographer3484]

A light technician asked Gilmour just before the concert: "How much light do you want?" Gilmour just answered: Ÿes....."

[@Cr4zyKm4n]

I grew up with Pink Floyd for since i was a boy in the 70's. the one thing i have learned to do is to get the best out of Pink Floyd. put your headphones on....Close your eyes..... Don't Talk.... Don't Listen.... Just Feel the Music..

[@PeterDay81]

Shine on you crazy diamond is a great song.I still have the Lp with Embryo on it. (from Harvest Records sampler ‘Picnic’)"Embryo" (sometimes called "The Embryo") is a song by Pink Floyd. It was recorded in 1968.The sound of things to come.Please check out the great band YES.Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968.No drugs for me or my friends but some alcohol was consumed.🤣If you have the time check out Roundabout a song by Yes. This will give you a good taste of the band.Cheers both.

When I was 15, one of my school friend’s parent bought him a clutch of tickets to take some pals to the Pink Floyd “The Wall” concert at London’s Earls Court. My first introduction to the Floyd!

[@davidfuters7152]

You may want to check the lyrics to this , a Floyd fan will explain them 👍👍

[@chrissellars6901]

Yes I was there. 1st night the stand collapsed and we fell about 30 ft ..... they had to stop the concert, but got to see them once they rescheduled. Was lucky enough to see them on two of their tours. Stiil one of the best gigs I ever saw.

[@dillwack]

Starting in 1994 every time this song is played tear fall from my eyes and it’s beautiful no fear no doubts just pure love thank you David ❤ I’ll be meeting David Oct 25 in LA first the first time in my life 48 years of heaven !!!

[@zwieseler]

Listening to Dark Side of the Moon, the album, is a journey. Don't listen to it in bits..... I tripped on it without the acid.... When it came out, I was in high school in a country town in Australia. Every Friday we gathered at someone's house and hung out listening to music. So, I heard Dark Side then but I think I was too young to "get it". I was more into Cat Stevens, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Joe Cocker and some Australian bands. Funnily enough, around the same time I got into Blues and a lot of black blues legends like Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. Not totally unsophisticated tho, because Jethro Tull struck a massive chord with me when I heard Aqualung.

[@thepragmatic6383]

I saw this concert twice, on May 23 and 24, 1994, Montreal Olympic Stadium. There would be so much to say about the magic of this concert, there was so much to see and so much to hear. That's why the audience was so quiet, no one wanted to miss a second of this now legendary show.

[@grahamharley4895]

Never listened to 'Dark Side all the way through?' Do yourselves a favour my friends. Promise me? While I'm at it... 'Firth of Fifth' by Genesis is a magical must do. How's the cricket going?

[@2110jacko]

I was fortunate enough to be there that night. Surrounded by total strangers but we all felt the same emotion...it was beautiful..

[@BlackfiguresSAD]

These were the last PF concerts I went to. I i did 6 of the 13 night run. The first PF gig I went to was in 67, tickets were aprrox 1 dollar. Your dad maybe interested to know they were supporting a guy called Jimi Hendrix

[@farnaby13]

Saw this concert '94 in Munich, Germany. Best concert ever, never to be topped.

[@johnblackwell8646]

It's much more than a guide to an acid trip. The key line (for me) is "The child has grown, the dream is gone...and I have become comfortably numb.", mourning the loss of innocence and all the associated hopes of youth.

[@jimlake22]

I was a teen in the 60's when most of the music I like was created. When I enlisted in the Air Force...I was introduced by friends to groups like Pink Floyd, King Crimson, etc., which opened my eyes to other bands besides the Beatles, Stones, Animals, Kinks, etc. I glad I lived in and grew up such a wonderful world of music!
