Just fyi, that solo has now been voted the #1 guitar solo in rock history! I was fortunate enough to see David do it twice to perfection! There is no band better than these guys were. I've seen them many times, along with many of the greats in classic rock, PF still the best, 50+ years and counting!

It was never voter number 1, sorry.... But, it's because, the stupid persons who are voting are stupid journalists, writing in some magazines, like Rolling Stones, which is a shit paper, and who are only able to critisize, but not to play any instrument! For them Hotel California, is a better solo🤣🤮.....What a joke.....And, Sorry, but HENDRIX AND PAGE, played much more incredible solos! But, you can't realize it, if you're not a guitarist! It's a question of taste, finally.....

I have been a Floyd fan since the 70s. I saw this tour in Los Angeles. I'm also one of the few people in the exclusive club that saw him play it live on The Wall tour - February 10th, 1980 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. There are less than 400,000 people in the club. Sounds like a lot, but for a 80s world tour, that was nothing. Bands would easily break two million total attendance on a world tour. There were only like 30 shows across four cities for The Wall - LA, New York, London, and Dortmund, Germany. I also saw him play it live at the Venice, Italy concert. I was stationed in Vicenza, about 30 minutes south when I was in the army. That show was wild. It was a free concert. They had to close access to Venice because too many people showed up. People were everywhere. Fights were breaking out over getting a spot along the Grand Canal.

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend and I at the time loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.

Pink Floyd is in a genre all by itself. Their albums were concept albums best played from beginning to end in one setting.. No worries about playing a bad song....they don't have any. Thanks for letting it play thru. Really enjoyed your reaction. I've been listening to PK since '73 with the release of 'Dark Side of the Moon' album and have been an ardent fan ever since. Seen them in '94 and man they somehow made it to where the music seemed to go through my body, it was by far the best concert I have ever been to. Love seeing the next generation get a taste of REAL music. Peace.

It never gets old seeing people who had no idea sitting there speechless while they are witnessing for their first time David Gilmour doing what only David Gilmour can. If you want to explore further I recommend his Royal Albert Hall Gig 2006. This particular song he performs with David Bowie and he delivers some remarkable guitar playing even for his own standards throughout the whole gig. I suggest „Time“ and „Echoes“ out of that performance as your next David Gilmour experience.

I saw them twice in the late 1980s at two different outdoor stadium venues. Pink Floyd was a band that made their concerts an experience for all the senses. In terms of the sound, the stage took up the entire end zone at one end of the stadium, and then there were banks of loudspeakers as large as most touring bands use for their entire show at midfield on either side of the stadium and then another bank of speakers at the far end of the stadium from the stage. During certain parts of the show, the sound from the band would literally circle around you as they threw it from one set of speakers to another, and sometimes they would play different instruments or different effects from the speakers in other parts of the stadium. For your eyes, in addition to the laser and lighting effects that you saw in this song, they would use huge practical effects (an inflatable pig the size of a small blimp was one) that would float out over the crowd, and pyrotechnics onstage during certain parts of the show. Your sense of touch was engaged because the sound was so loud you would feel the bass and the drums in your body when they played. And in terms of smell--well, the crowd took care of that because there were always plenty of 420 smoke billowing from people smoking during the show. I'm positive that if there was some legal way for Pink Floyd to introduce some sort of flavored mist into the air of the concert venues, they would have done that, too. You never just went to a Pink Floyd show, you felt like you were fully immersed in a Pink Floyd show. Absolutely one of the top live bands I have ever seen, and I went to many, many concerts from my teens all the way through my 20s and into my 30s.

Indeed. They had massive generators that were part of the enormous traveling setup. So large in fact, that they had more than one setup as it took days to install/remove and it was impossible to logistically do with one. Additionally, the laser show was unprecedented. When I saw the Pulse tour in Denver, air traffic was diverted away from Mile High Stadium for the first (and only) time due to the intensity of the laser show. Simply mind blowing.

I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show Syracuse Carrier Dome in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all. When the “Disco Ball’ was uncovered and the lights hit it….. WHAT IS HAPPENING was what I said….The entire crowd was held in a trace and our minds totally blown by what we witnessed.

@@ianfortier6796 Well, there are certainly bum notes in the original PPV (though they don't take up the entire c.1.5 minutes). This has already been confirmed in Floyd forums, by those in the know, and that it was Gilmour's decision to edit the section out. You can hear them, for example, around 8:03 on the " Comfortably Numb (uncut version) - Pink Floyd - PULSE - 4K Remastered" video on YT. And no, it wasn't the runtime either. If it had been, Gilmour could have restored the original solo in the DVD or Blu-ray release where an extra 1.5 minutes on the discs is not an issue (unlike, perhaps, where it might've been on the VHS tape release).

I had the chance to see this show two nights in a row during their visit to the Olympic Stadium in Montreal on May 23 and 24, 1994. Since I worked night shifts, I had to go to work after the show, and the buddies at work looked at me like if I was high on drugs, yet I hadn't taken anything. With Pink Floyd, no need for drugs to get high, their music is more than enough and in addition, there is no danger of overdose. But seeing them performing can become addictive, hence the reason for seeing this show twice.

I had already been to at least 6 PF concerts, however, I cried like a baby at the end of the last one, which was indeed at this very concert. Not exclusively for the obvious reason but I instinctively knew that this would be the very last time I ever saw PF live, which indeed it was. I knew then that nothing absolutely nothing will ever do what that event did to my being again. It was not the last PF concert that I ever attended it was the last rock concert I ever attended after being at several hundreds of them over the preceding 22 years. I occasionally listen to some of the old stuff, and it sounds in many ways even better than it did then. However, something in me died when David Gilmour hit that last cord, and I am not at all sure what it was.

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. 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

Saw Pink Floyd in LA in the early seventies on a visit to see a buddy whose roommate was a huge PF fan and invited me to go. Never heard of them, was blown away, first band I saw use lasers and Co2 smoke machines. Epic show, became an instant fan.

Kudos on not interrupting the solo! Few things are more painful than being ripped out of the middle of a Gilmour guitar solo. Yes, David's guitar sings for him - and cries and moans and wails. He's perhaps the most emotive of guitar players, and his solos are transcendent. Pink Floyd will take you to strange and beautiful places!

Crazy story.. Birmingham show.. me and 11 friends from 1st yr college went to show. We were right under that ball. I was soo fkd up that I thought it was a giant octopus coming down to eat me 😄😄 sooo. What did i do. I followed them for next 3 shows and when i went bk to my college 5 states over, by then 🙄, i had flunked out. Completely worth it. STILL made it to another college and still onto med school. 47 now.. wouldn't have changed a thing!!!!!

I've seen Pink Floyd 4 times in my life and that guitar solo was one of David Gilmore's best. He is the king of emotional guitar riffs. There's so many great solos out there, but few take you on the emotional rollercoaster like this. Your appreciation is awesome to see, it's a long journey and there's lots where this came from.

Now you've seen real music played by real musicians for real. I thank my lucky stars for being alive during this time. David always let's his guitar sing, The bassist Guy Pratt has worked with the biggest names in the industry both playing and production. He is an excellent but underrated musician in his own right.

The first time I heard Pink Floyd it was in 1973. It was my first year of high school and in my history class, my teacher enter in the class with what we called a pick-up it was a kind of turn table with speakers on it. He said, close your book because today we will hear something very special. It was what you called the triangle who is a pyramid with a prism. The album is The Dark Side Of The Moon. It's the first album Pink Floyd was able to release in North America and they were ahead of their time with lasers and special effects. Seeing a Pink Floyd show was more than a show it was an event, a journey. When you listen a song it doesn't work that way, you have to listen the entire album because they tell you a story. The Dark Side Of The Moon is about life and death. In the movie Dune they used the last song of this album. 2023 is the 50th birthday of this album.

And THAT wasn't even the last encore! RUN LIKE HELL was. Best F--king concert I ever saw (I was at the Oakland Coliseum show) and heard. Their concert equipment sounded better than any high-end home stereo system. And multi-channel too, with speaker stacks high up in the back of the upper deck seats on the left, right and far back of the stadium. Mind blowing show! I went to many concerts in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and this left them all behind in visuals and sound. I never saw or heard anything as awesome since either. Watch the whole thing on video when you get a chance.

MERCI ! MERCI ! MERCI ! 🙏🙏🙏 (in French ) Thank you, for not stopping the song and the guitar solo... A lot of idiots stop the guitar solo, I can't stand it. So thank you, you listen to the songs with a lot of respect without stopping them (I'm an amateur musician) Thank you, you know I'm an old man who was "fed" with this rock music from the 70s and I'm so happy to see young people like you to listen to and appreciate this music, it's very touching, I'm really moved for that. Among my close friends there are 3 kids (3 brothers) 13, 15 and 16 years old who listen, like and play this rock music from the 70s (at music school) 2 guitarists and a drummer. Of course, I and their grandparents (we say "grandparents" ??? that's French haha...) pass on our "knowledge" to them in order to enrich their musical culture. It's reassuring to see that we had good taste at the time hahaha!!! Man, It's a pleasure to subscribe to your channel.
