High Hopes (Live In Gdansk) - David Gilmour

[@shecaso]

This is so beautiful. Start listening to Pink Floyd at 12 and now I’m 60 and they still give me chills every single time.

[@garyaanderson214]

For me 15 and now 64

[@hahavt9253]

For me 14 and now 71. This version is the best. At my "ceremony " after my cremation, as part of the celebration of my life, I am going to have played on several large screen TVs, three David Gilmour songs from this concert in this order: The Blue, Comfortably Numb and High Hopes. While I have too many PF favorites, these three are my favorites in video format. Live in Gdansk is simply phenomenal! I have been blessed to have seen them many times over my lifetime. What incredible talents they ALL have!!! Bless all....

[@linkinbibi]

I think this version of High Hopes is the best I've heard so far, the way he changes the song just a little bit makes the whole solo much more valuable!

[@markmuller7962]

Agree

[@ThaSoloist]

🔥

[@danf8796]

Yes. The acoustic at the end is beyond anything

[@JaydenMereles3]

That acoustic at the emd is something out of this world so beautiful. PF always makes me feel emotions that nakes me cry... its more than music, just a deeper level of spirituality

[@peterampgale1020]

Yes

[@tinsukia0374]

This version is the best.The outro feels like the path to your deepest need.

[@tim2nz]

This is the best guitar solo of all time in the entire universe 🙏🏼🌌

[@jomojoe6414]

I would say Hotel California Eagles

[@kevin34ct]

Still say Comfortably Numb is his best, but this is a close second.

[@williampatrick2971]

The slides he does in this solo is really good. Especially that last one at the end

[@davidstephany7160]

The only band that brings out the deepest feelings

[@peterampgale1020]

The energy with this version and the accompanying orchestra makes this better than the studio version. It takes the composition to the heavens above.

[@peterampgale1020]

The slide guitar sounds so cool

[@edasadi888]

My soul came out of my body listening to that solo

[@andytekno]

His ending solo is just truly beautiful,after 60 years he can still find those melody’s in the scales that touch your heart.

[@kathif17]

My favorite song that I have ever heard David Gilmour play ❤ i cry evertime I listen ❤ this is true perfection.

[@jerardnorgren3411]

He's a gift from god.

[@DanyGilmour]

When an artist makes a person who is listening to him crying, well... I think that this is the only way in which a soul can be touched from its bottom. Thank you Mr. Gilmour, my soul and my heart will always belong to you and to your music.

[@nilanjanbanerjee114]

Totally agreed with you brother

[@alexpama-soccertrainingcoa5232]

This version of High Hopes is by far the best one. The synergy between classical orchestra and the band is unreal. DG hits all cords at the perfect time. Even the end when the orchestra is fading away the sound of the guitar is coming to the forefront more is iconic. Well done sir. Well done.

[@EnvyBlu]

Every chord Gilmour plays, and every note he sings is just freaking amazing. He does everything perfectly. No other musician can tap into my emotions like David Gilmour’s guitar and his voice. He always has my emotions all over the place when I listen to him, from way back in Pink Floyd early days, all the way to Gilmour’s solo career. Theeeee best!

[@theoutdoorlivingpros_]

Greatest guitarist of all time easily...... makes me cry like a baby often and therapy for my soul everytime... thats the sign of a musician to me!!!

[@richycrane2971]

Couldn't agree more 👏

[@rkdavis70]

I couldn't agree more. Goose bumps every time.

[@chrisbeedleston8338]

Well said

[@glendadickinson]

MY HEART HURTS OF MISSING MY DAD. WHAT A ASPECTACULAR SONG

[@wicklunda]

Every version they do of this song pushes it’s value into eternity. I suspect as long as people listen to music people will love this song.

[@Miketheman926]

Guitar solo at the end 🥰

[@kimlacey7513]

Pure magic, I never tire of listening to this, so beautiful.

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Have you ever been in Gdansk? Fans world wide are invited to organize Summer camps in Poland and sing along such EPIC tracks... yeah, what a wonderful world this could be if only music could rule the world...we are working in progress...you keep on spreading good vibes guys, that's what fans are for ❤🎉❤

[@GreatjonUmber]

OMG I was on this concert... I can remember I cried like a baby twice: on 'High hopes' and 'Comfortably numb'.... David, it was a masterpiece.

[@hswizzle4208]

Saw a Pink Floyd cover band with my friends Brit Floyd to be exact and cried as soon as they started the slide guitar solo imo his best solo

[@tomaszavala9558]

Wait, you participated in the concert? That's absolutely an amazing story to forever tell. Id love to know what instrument you were involved with at the time?

[@dren84]

Easily the most monumental song ever. The endind of this performance causes tears everytime.

[@edasadi888]

This is not a song. It’s a movie

[@marciniaktomek9]

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before times took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground .........................................

[@85geoffm]

What David Gilmour does with space in this song is what makes him so amazing. I just can't describe it. I'll take this over a guy who can shred any day. So tasteful.

[@japasetelagoas]

As days keeps going by i have the strange feeling that good music is dying

[@billcarson]

I don't think David ever played it like that again, with that final piece of guitar. In my opinion this version is the best of all. Thank you Pink Floyd, thank you Mr Gilmour..., may God bless you forever

[@davidstephany7160]

The most magical band I've ever known, I've listened to it since I was young at the age of 13 and I'm 52 years old, still as many emotions penetrate me

[@klaas6681]

One of the greatest songs of all time. And also one of the most underrated.

[@Pinkfloydisme63]

C'est là que l'on voit la vraie rage de vivre d'un homme : quand il va chercher au plus profond de lui-même pour jouer un tel solo ...

[@luciabraccio615]

Amavo la vostra musica 50 anni fa e da allora non è cambiato niente anzi l amo di più.

[@loupetitepoison6882]

💜Forever and ever...............................💜

[@Deribinkle]

The folks in the orchestra must have been euphoric to play with Mr. Gilmour, I know I would have.

[@eNNe93]

That classic guitar always moves me. I return to this video after certain time to remember how glorious this song is.

[@gorgonus]

I just have to comment once more! This gets more and moeamazing everytime I watch this. I always take beautiful music very emotionally, but this is just stuninng. The ending is a masterpiece in every note he plays. I can't help but smile in delight when he play his final notes :D :)

[@parsani]

the amazing fact is that David originally composed and played the song in 1994(Division Bell) when he was 48. Now after 15 years (he is 62)is playing this song live even better and more emotional. Only the very recent versions he's been performing since 2005, have that acoustic solo. In previous performances he only did the Slider solo. He has always been in "Top 50 Guitarist of All Time" list. my most favourite guitarist after SLASH

[@theoutdoorlivingpros_]

14 years ago... you still here my friend? My personal #1 simply on emotion of his guitar playing... hitts me deeper than anybody else

[@alifarsani2469]

@@theoutdoorlivingpros_ the endless river, forever and ever!

[@gudusaru1284]

If you like all the comment but the last sentence like my comment

[@peterampgale1020]

I believe that his wife wrote the lyrics… can anyone verify for me? Thanks

[@billybupkis3688]

The joy this song brings me is incredible.

[@Davo-007]

Amazing. What a musician Dave Gilmour is. Richard Wright giving it the legs it needs too without overshadowing the guitar playing and Orchestra. What Richard Wright was the best at - Giving the song some vigour without interrupting. Never stole the limelight but was more pivotal in these songs than anyone could imagine. RIP RW.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

This song is a fucking masterpiece. It seriously gives me goosebumps. The most amazing thing is how his music is still living on the way it is today. I'm in love with this song. Amazing.

[@Melith15]

He's not a "God" he is a human, but he is a genius

[@robertcooney1938]

Gilmour is the best guitar solo player there is. No need for tapping or sweep picking which is just noise to me. Just beautiful melody and feeling.

[@shinigamy85]

dal minuto 5:12 si vola in un altro universo....senza parole....solo brividi!!!

[@giuseppescotto8436]

Da quando si sono divisi questo brano e degno del passato grande ❤❤❤

[@egiiri753]

Mio Dio che emozione....Ho la pelle d'oca....

[@ahmedismail9209]

The ending makes my rose runny and eyes teary

[@jeffreyhubbard4354]

Pink Floyd (David Gilmour especially) is like wine, they only get better with age! every live rendition being better than the last with more and more emotion!

[@zenzerino]

e sconvolgente il fatto che qui a roma non se ne parli mai della loro musica hanno lasciato un segno indelebile cambiando ogni possibile memoria a suon di note per sempre i precursori di questo genere musicale sviscerato dall anima geniale di queste persone paolo 58 rm

[@СергейИваненко-д7н]

David Gilmour ❤❤❤

[@cudafishx]

Sadly, A very important chapter in the book of British rock has closed with the passing of Rick Wright. These videos take on a whole new meaning being able to witness Rick at his happiest on this tour. Hey Rick: I'll meet you on the dark side of the moon. Peace brother.

[@TonhoGuitar]

close your eyes..... and just listen to the music. That guitar plays just the right notes in the right moment, with an amazing feeling. Wonderful David Gilmour.

[@ALJONQUET]

Une des plus belles musique de pink floyd, merci David pour ce solo, chanson pour ma belle, nostalgie d'une nuit sous les étoiles, un soir d'été, un baiser sur la bouche, pour toujours et à jamais

[@mahirk]

scary hope people dont even talk while he plays his solos... dead silence.. everyone is listening... amazing :)

[@1soulblues]

david you are simply the best , by max from italy

[@David.diaz.13]

Lyrics Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever

[@drewhouse]

i think you could listen to this song 1000 times and on the 1001th time you would still say "HOW?"

[@JaydenMereles3]

There is music and then there is Pink Cloyd... there are great guitarists, and then there is David Gilnour! Wow... that outro has me. Crying like a baby og its absolute beauty

[@davidstephany7160]

I can listen again and again and I will never get tired I hope you will stay with us for a long time to come you have made me dream, cry, and laugh what emotions you will remain forever engraved in my heart

[@thecooldrummer]

Not going to lie, the end of this song is enough to make you cry lol, fucking amazing

[@irena7777777]

It's true though, he's a genius and has helped to make so many lives that little bit more bearable. With that, let us bow our heads in prayer to the wonderful Keith Richards.

[@pjeromemusic21]

This is probably my favourite solo ever. Such emotion. As someone else said below, the right notes at the right moment. Thank you for this.

[@MaximeL59]

quelle voix! Elle sera touours l'une des plus belles

[@bv2020]

Hello to You all, from the TOP of NORWAY. Superb Mr. Gilmore.

High hopes is so good. Thank u Floyd!

[@tyost001]

Perepe88 said it - no words...I too love this song - for reasons not clear to me even. it make me feel something sad and beautiful..but the guitar ending is a piece of magic. A so very fitting last of the Pink Floyds

[@TheJman2600]

All hail David Gilmour. No one makes a guitar sing like him.

[@technics616]

when it comes down to it, Gilmour, 65 still can sing, still can play, is a humble amazing performer/musician, and like a fine wine is pure taste and style, waters is an amazing conceptualizer, who didnt give into the music industry and followed his artistic vision, no matter what. we can learn and admire both of them for doing what both are good at. and personally, I am thankful and inspired by both. High hopes is the full stop at the end of the pink floyd story.

[@freddelgado]

Yeah.. I agree.. but we can see the passion in every solo of this tour.

[@irena7777777]

Possibly even the best in the last 55 years.

Have not been a PF fan..never really was. I just heard this song for the 1st time ever the other night when I watched the Gdansk concert TV show. I LOVE THIS SONG!! This vid is on my faves at home and at work and I bought the song on iTunes. Cannot get enough of it. This guy is too much. (the band ain't too shabby either)

[@chrisbeedleston8338]

There will forever be unresolvabale debate and argument over who is "the best" guitarist ever, but what i will say is that ive never heard a guitarist who can transmit such EMOTION through his playing and solos, his solos truly make you FEEL something, hes not just trying to show you what a good guitarist he is (cough Clapton cough), all he seems to do is feel the mood of the song and take you away with a beautiful emotional solo that always seems to match perfectly, he is truly stunning. Hendrix was certainly at the same level emotionally but good lord David truly is the master, in my humble, meaningless opinion

[@caste96]

dio mio ogni volta ke parte l'assolo mi vengono i brividi!!!!!! meravigliosa!!!!!

I'm sure this song is played every day in paradise. I'm crying...

When David shuffles off this mortal coil (and I hope that's a long time away), he will be remembered as one of the greatest guitarists in the world during the 20th and 21st centuries. Unbelievable performance! Two thumbs up!
