Both are the greatest, arguable.

[@garryiglesias4074]

The greatest reconstruct solo from several recording... I'm a huge fan of the Floyd, but I'm surprised how many fans acts as if it was a "one shot recording"... David Gilmour explained their way of doing "live albums" many times (first time I red him about it was for Delicate Sound of Thunder IIRC), and they EDIT, and REMIX multiple live recording to make the "perfect performance" without any "glitch"... I love it, again, they are my favorite band, but don't exaggerate those "live" as if they were "perfect" each time. This is an 'augmented' version of reality.

[@derekdonnell6503]

NAW, CHAMP. BUT, THAT'S YOUR OPINION. EDDIE VAN HALEN DID THE BEST I'VE SEEN YET. JUST SAYING...

David Gilmour dressed like he just arrived to fix your plumbing, crushing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and acting like it's just a normal Wednesday. Absolute legend. Also, the album solo is one of the greatest ever, but the solo from the Pulse concert is in a whole different dimension. It's unparalleled. Sheer perfection.

[@garryiglesias4074]

«Sheer perfection.» Of course: PF lives are remixed and edited from several live recording to make "the perfect one". Nobody heard those "live" actually, because there are somehow "studio" albums (from live recording).

@@detroitlady7201I'm not saying that the "real live" was not great... I'm saying that their official "live materials" are edited-remastered and "fixed". And actually, I'm not saying it, I repeat what David Gilmour explained a couple of times in interviews (~90's, some of them can only be found on "paper"). I saw them in 94, and they are my favorite band, I don't "diss" them, I try to educated "fanboys" spreading false assumptions on what we see in the video. And to be honest, I consider myself a "better fan" of Pink Floyd because I've documented myself A LOT on them.

Hello from Germany, Thank you for your wonderful video. It expresses exactly how I feel about this Pink Floyd performance. It's indescribable, magical, out of this world. I heard ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ on the radio for the first time when I was 7 or 8 years old. Of course, I couldn't speak English yet and didn't understand a word. But even then, the music triggered something in me that I still can't describe today. I then bought ‘The Wall’ with my pocket money as a child. Now I'm 52, I understand the lyrics...and the music of Pink Floyd still moves me today. When I hear David's guitar, when I hear David's voice, I get goose bumps. Pink Floyd goes so deep into the soul. You can't explain it. Even in over 50 years, the music of Pink Floyd has lost none of its magic. In my opinion, it will never be the same again. Big praise for your channel. I enjoy watching it. Keep up the good work. :-)

I got a lot more than a fleeting glimpse, so I can explain more whenever requested.

[@lakelanddentalarts]

You asked, "What was that?" That was a master class of guitar soloing by one of the most talented and amazing musicians who's ever lived. I've never heard anyone who can make a guitar talk to you like David can. When I say "talk", his solos have a sentence-structure to them as if they're telling a story that your heart is compelled to listen to.

David Gilmour cracks open emotions through his voice and his guitar playing that you are not prepared for. They overwhelm you. Pink Floyd is the most brilliant band ever. It's a deep, deep rabbit hole and one you may never recover from. Great reaction (from a 40+ yr fan)!

The video (and most Pink Floyd live) is composed of several recording on several nights, and edited so it become "perfect". Nobody actual "saw"(/heard) this version "live".

[@Stumbler2001]

I don't know who told you that but that is incorrect. While the album used tracks from multiple shows, the concert film was shot at a single show in October of '94 . Every video from that film was how it happened at that show. The 2019 reedit left out some songs & changed the order in which some were played, but each song performance is as it happened live.@@garryiglesias4074

[@garryiglesias4074]

@@Stumbler2001 «Unlike the previous live album Delicate Sound of Thunder, no parts of the songs were re-recorded in the studio.[6] However, the band and Guthrie fixed songs that had bad notes (as heard on some bootlegs) by lifting solos and corrected vocal lines from other performances as the band recorded most of the European leg. The album was mixed in QSound, which produces a 3D audio effect even on a two channel stereo system.» I've read it because I have all material from PF I can have, books, legs, whatever. And ANYWAY, It's on Wikipedia too... And there's nothing saying that the video is not "fixed".

[@tommc3622]

​​@garryiglesias4074 Why do you keep posting this on every thread? Especially when she is reacting to the video of the live performance, not the live Pulse album version, so your "citations" are worthless.

I am also 71 and Pink Floyd were and still are one of my all time faves. We are so lucky to grow up with this great music!!!

[@imloutoday7663]

I'm a 60's/70's, kid, found Floyd in mid 70's high school. As a kid I tacitly knew of music but didn't have a radio, least carrying one around. I liked the Beatles since their Ed Sullivan show appearance in NYC in '64. My mom put my slightly younger brother and I in front of the TV (we were 4&5), proclaiming: "Remember this!" which I did! That started my music interests. As a very young teen, I bicycled to music/instrument stores to read, even copy lyrics of fav songs. My 6th grade book fair saw me order the complete Beatles Lyrics paperback - still have it! Floyd's Dark Side imparted the same lasting memory as the Beatles did. Upon my first listen at a mid 70's teen party, I was sold! My 1950's oldies knowledge is still there - I call out band names and song titles during oldies commercials to sell compilations! My parents were still around then and marveled at my song knowledge. By the later 70's I was transformed into a Floyd fan. Another benefit to my "broad, name that tune knowledge" enabled me to win concert tickets from radio station contests. I'd get a dozen of my friends into the same show on my wins! After each win, I'd call a friend and instruct them to get "their ticket" down at the radio station in town. I had a dozen people at this same Pulse Tour (NYC) you're playing, and so many others that I can't even count all the shows I've seen! It's not cheating it's just smart! lol Lastly, it is said among Floyd fans, you never interrupt a Gilmore guitar solo, never! lol

[@gb1389]

The pain, sorrow, longing and beauty that comes out of Gilmour’s fingers can bring tears to my eyes. If his playing doesn’t move you, you aren’t paying attention.

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a Pink Floyd show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS

One of the biggest unwritten rules when listening to music, especially Pink Floyd, is to never pause a David Gilmore solo. You somehow knew, instinctively, to let it play without pause.

The guitar gods smile down on you for not interrupting the solos. Your reaction was priceless and sincere. Welcome to music bliss.

[@BenLapke]

This is an iconic performance. Wait until you listen to the entire album Dark Side Of The Moon, and you have to listen to the entire album in one sitting. According to Billboard, the album remained on its charts for a whopping 972 weeks (roughly over 18 years).

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

I was going to suggest that she sit in a dimly lit room, maybe a glass of wine by her side. Earphones on and listen - no just let the music take you away. Dark Side is beyond amazing.

[@user-ng6wc4xr2l]

[@seanb66]

I am not a young man any longer. That said, Pink Floyd will forever draw me back to my youth through their timeless music. I'm not embarrassed to say that watching and listening to your emotional reaction to this classic piece, moved me to be equally emotional. Such is the beauty of their music. I was first introduced to them in the very early 1970s. In fact, in 1973, during my senior year in high school, I would listen to what is in my opinion the greatest album ever produced, The Dark Side of the Moon, every single day after school. It mesmerized me like a sonic lullaby. I've had the great pleasure of seeing and hearing them live several times. I've never forgotten a single performance. Theirs is an enduring contribution to our culture, and you have proven it. My hope is that your young subscribers are moved by your introduction to learn of, and experience this band for themselves. I would strongly recommend that you learn the history of Pink Floyd, the band. That history was the catalyst to the content of many of their songs. And please, please listen to The Dark Side of the Moon start to finish. You will love yourself for having done so. Well done, young lady.

[@Dontdoitmike]

I was 13 years old! I was told by an older friend there was a band called Pink Floyd that came with a new album. Dark side of the Moon it was called. My friend told me I should listen to this band. He borrowed me this vinyl record. Since that day - Since I heard that album - no other music will ever come close. It changed something! I saw them Live in Oslo, Norway, during this Tour. The live performance- The guitar solo, the Light show during Comfortably Numb.....I think they open a glimpse to 4e dimension. It felt that I lost consistency. Still when looking and hearing this performance..I can still feel it. But that day and that solo 1992 I think it was-Forever changed something inside me. I will play this live version on my Funeral!

[@ISDExecutor71]

Seeing this live in 94 will forever be one of my favorite moments in my life.

The whole stage design and production of this tour was incredible and almost 30 years later it is still unmatched.

[@lookiloo100]

I've seen some great stage productions, but I don't think anything will ever surpass this either!

[@StringerNews1]

This tour had a lot more, and better Vari-Lites, but the late '80s tour with the space station and the full-color mirror ball that made this one kind of pathetic was a cut above IMO. And the PA system used for Gilmour's last tour was outstanding! I've seen Pink Floyd five times, and David Gilmour solo twice, and cherish each and every time.

[@lmquan082]

totally true

[@JohnSmith-ys4nl]

It was definitely fly for 1994. This was before LED lighting, so pulling this off would have been more difficult back then.

[@StringerNews1]

@@JohnSmith-ys4nl LED? Surely you jest! That tour used Vari-Lite devices and follow spots that used HID light sources. The lasers, including the one they got from the DOD, e=were also gas discharge. LED is kinda rinky-dink in comparison.

Pink Floyd has been for me one of the best bands of all time. It's not even music, it's an experience. It is a journey beyond the senses, a walk through the subconscious, a projection of your being towards the universe and beyond... it is a feeling so vivid that it is impossible to explain but it is easy to experience. This entire concert is a work of art and David Gilmour does without a doubt one of the longest but at the same time most beautiful solos you can ever hear. I'm glad to know that more people are listening and reacting positively to this band that, as I mentioned, is the best of all time.

Those are all super deep, if you are a new listener and want fun guitar and still very deep vocals, brain damage/eclipse will blow your mind. The whole dark side of the moon got remastered recently, the whole album is 45 minutes so it's an easy listen.

1973 I was 23 years old. Around 6 of us sat at a friend's house and listened to The Dark Side Of The Moon for the first time. Here it is 51 years later and I'm an old man now at 74, but this music still moves me... moves me to tears even.

I was at this concert, it was filmed at the old Earls Court in London. I saw the ‘Wall’ in the same venue. I cannot describe how the Pulse concert transcended anything I have ever heard at the ‘Wall’

[@luiscarlosdeoliveira7638]

There is Pink Floyd, and then there are the ordinary bands; the members of Pink Floyd seem more like wizards meticulously producing something, like scientists in a laboratory-something that cannot be described in words. They have the ability to make us cry simply by contemplating the beauty of the music they create. They've been my favorite band since my adolescence. I used to walk to school in 1998 listening to the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' on my Walkman. I had the opportunity this year to attend a concert by one of the band members, Roger Waters. I've never cried so much at a show. This band will always be very special to me.

[@user-yo9td7sx8m]

There may be more technically proficient guitarists, but NOBODY plays like David Gilmour. Every note he plays is pure emotion.

[@WardDorrity]

Comfortably Numb is one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever composed. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. This never gets old. Ever. It speaks to something that we all know and cannot be expressed in any other way. This is why it touches you in the way that it does, Stacey. Music - real music is a language all its own. Extraordinary musicians like David Gilmour can communicate their inner experiences as few can today. Gilmour’s guitar appears to be connected directly to his soul. Some musicians can manage that for a few moments. For Gilmour, it’s his natural state of being. It is unmistakable and cannot be faked.

[@fishpierce7851]

Very astute and I recommend the David Bowie “Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)” medley from the Diamond Dog album. I think you’ll experience it much the same way.

[@davidcox9674]

It's such a shame that the composer of the song isn't there. Floyd were never the same or as good after Roger Waters departure.

[@roger9709]

The year was 1977, was an 18 year old Army private in Germany. Didnt know jack about much. Found somemoney to but a stereo found Pink Floyd Pyramid Album never stoped listening.

Very well said, Ward. The song is a lamentation of the loss of childhood, dreams, caring, and a reality where any of that even matters.

Grew up on Floyd. Saw this in 1994 at Sundevil Stadium in Tempe, AZ and the mirror ball came up from the ground in a black box. We were at the bottom of the “U” looking dead on to the stage watching the reflection circling around the entire dark crowd. It was AMAZING!

[@louismarina7225]

Attending a Pink Floyd concert was to experience a visual and aural extravaganza that you would dream about for days afterward. They set a standard in stage presence and production that has been seldom matched and started the revolution of a concert being more than just hearing some songs from someone you liked.

[@jvgerner]

What a beautiful introduction to Pink Floyd, and so good to see that after all these years....decades...their music still touches the soul of a new generation. There is still hope :). On a somewhat more recent - but still prog rock style - level, I would like to strongly suggest taking a look at two Steven Wilson videos: "The Raven That Refused To Sing, and "Drive Home". Love to see your first time reactions.

[@patrickwilder6492]

My wife and I have seen Pink Floyd three times. Once in the 70's, once in the '80s, and once in the '90s. No one puts on a show like them. Great reaction and thank you for not pausing during one of the greatest guitar solos of all times.

[@kt.7257]

I still cry like baby every time I hear this solo , even on the studio version I been listening to Pink Floyd since 1980

[@samuelsmith6804]

I can't remember the first time I heard pink Floyd, my parents were both huge fans so it was a staple in my home growing up in the 80s and 90s. We played “Wish you were here” at my dad’s funeral last summer and every time I hear pink Floyd it reminds me of him. Their music transcendental and timeless.

[@BigBookBasicTraining]

This was from the Division Bell Tour in 1994. I saw them on that tour on April 14 in San Diego in Jack Murphy Stadium. The crowd was 51,610 people. The average ticket price for the show was $30. I basically had the worse seats in the house, 4 rows from the last row - furthest from the stage. But still, it was the best concert I ever saw. The big takeaways were the sound of Gilmour’s guitar and the light show. I still can’t believe how good the band sounded from those terrible seats. Thank you for the reaction. Great stuff. Consider watching “Sorrow” live from the same (Pulse DVD) concert.

[@LordEagle]

I saw them in Cleveland for Division Bell ,,,,great show. Philadelphia for Learning to Fly,,,,,💥💥💥👍😎

I was also there the concert was phenomenal! when the disco ball came down and i looked around the stage i could see those lights like stars! Best concert of my Life!!! even better than Roger Waters the Wall 2010 and i was at that one also. But Pulse was the best of them all!

What's heartbreaking for me is that the singer blames Ukrainians for defending themselves against genocide and declares Taiwan as part of China. Waters has become a dangerous and influential contrarian and a complete parody of himself.

[@bassduderic]

I am a musician, music can move you in many way's. I am also a Pink Floyd fan. The first time I really heard the band was I was in a band that played a couple of songs. This song was one of them. The guitar solo, the final one was voted best solo ever recorded. Musicians tend to change solo's depending how they are playing it. There was a charity event where the original band got together except Keyboardist Richard Wright who passed away in 2008. They played 4 songs, and one of them was Comfortably Numb. I like this particular solo better. The charity show was called LIVE 8. It is on KZbin. You can watch their performance, or an individual song. I like your reactions. They are very authentic. As much as you love music, maybe you should learn an instrument. You will get so much more out playing songs in front of people. It's a huge joy for me.

[@user-sp9hw8pg8j]

This song especially the solo brings tears to my eyes .We lost our only son that had been to Iraq and he learned to play this down the basement .He never gave up till he got it . Now we no longer hear this coming from our basement .We miss you so much ,you had so much talent and the pain from Iraq ,had you self medicate for the pain you saw and lived .

[@geraldlarghe7179]

As you hear more and more of their music you will be transformed! Sorrow, high hopes, dogs, and virtually EVER SINGLE piece of music they created is brilliant. Their lyrics are of à wisdom that is well beyond their years. You're view of music and art just changed forever.

For more feels, On the Turning Away is great musically and lyrically it tells a potent story of how poorly humans can treat each other, but there's always hope to be better. Hard to go wrong with any song from the Pulse Concert, it's a master class in musical and visual creation. It's nice to know that after 50+ years, the younger generation can appreciate the beauty of this band. I've been listening to them since the late 70" and will listen to them till the day I leave this mortal realm.

For me personally, as a guitarist, he sits on the top of my list. The final solo here, is beyond words.

[@davidbalderston2751]

Many people do not know that Johnny Cash was addicted for most of his career. He was addicted to amphetamines and barbiturates,. As a 69-year-old I can relate as you start to question things that you have lived and want to express the regret you are feeling. The musician was suffering from autonomic neuropathy brought on by diabetes and by the time he recorded Hurt, his health was failing. You are beautiful Stacey and incredibly insightful, This is a reaction that is well worth watching, in my opinion.

You are a generation that has grown up not seeing this live and I feel that for you. After 40+ years of seeing them live all over the world, they still bring forth the same emotion and soul-penetrating music even now. That instrumental is IMHO the finest performance ever. I grew up with Hendrix, Joplin and co in my ears but this is on a new astral plane. The emotions that you are feeling are what we Floridians always feel when listening to and feeling the music of PF. Congrats and welcome to a new world of music. By the way always play Floyd at setting 11 of 10 :)

[@brianhagen8244]

To me, the final guitar solo seems to express someone who is crying so hard that they cannot control themselves, but for a good reason. It is almost like an actor portraying a character whose outer self has given way to full expression of deepest feelings, and their innermost self is being fully, uninhibitedly expressed.

[@youraccount7003]
