David Gilmour - On an Island (REACTION) with my wife

[@philmead7977]

There are and have been some fantastic guitarists across all genres of music, but, Dave Gilmour just has this natural ability of playing with so much raw emotion and meaning, and for me he's by far the best there's ever been.

[@moziboy75]

I fully agree

[@michaelparsons5299]

My wife calls Dave Gilmour and Pink Floyd music; "emotionally sophisticated." Love this performance. Many great musicians on that stage. And yes, many tears for Rick. So sad he has left us way too early!

[@keyrat1753]

The Live in Gdańsk performances were incredible. Even if you don’t react to them , you should try to enjoy them when you have a chance. Rest In Peace, Richard Wright.

[@jeremyosterley7358]

David Gilmour is the master of the guitar! Listen to The Blue from this concert.You’ll both enjoy that!

[@paddyhiggins]

Gonna keep suggesting this one until you guys see the post lol :) 'Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away' (the LIVE version) Such a beautiful song with very relevant lyrics and a typically haunting Dave solo. Love your reactions :)

[@FadyHelou-ft2tp]

David Gilmour has the good stage presence, he plays guitar with his emotions he is the best guitarist ever, as all mentioned he is the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd.

[@yvesblues560]

So loveley reaction❤, my favorite: "you dont even need ears to listen" 😂☀️ the floydian experience is a kind of union, you doesnt get in your daily life💝

[@YiorgosChronis]

Yes dear, this is 100% true, David is the best!

[@davehagi9883]

David Gilmour owned a house close to where I was working in West London, early 90s, he would visit the local pub after work just like the rest of us, no Superstar status, have a few drinks, read a newspaper, engage in a conversation, but most of the time nobody bothered him, just a normal human being relaxing, some years later he gave the house to a children´s charity, which even back then was valued at Four Million pounds, Yup! that guy in the jeans and T shirt.

[@franckb8279]

Absolute masterpiece! The best ever live version of this fantastic song. David gives shills no one else can bring. God bless him!

[@963460]

You are absolutely right, Guy Pratt on the bass has been playing with Pink Floyd since the second half of the 80's. And of course, Richard Wright on the keyboards. He was already sick at the time, and I do believe that this was his last concert. The rendition of the piece Echoes is particularly moving because of it. Thank you for this one.

[@hudsonhollow]

On the Fourth of July 1970, Jimi Hendrix played Star Spangled Banner for us at Atlanta Pop Festival wearing that very guitar strap! Gilmour's wife gave it to him as a birthday present. She bought it from the Hendrix Trust. Imagine what that strap must be worth!! My eyes actually water the music so beautiful, and of course seeing that strap again is wonderful. Seeing Rick is heartbreaking.

[@marcmainwaring7344]

I agree with all your comments this man is on another planet when he plays guitar he has inspired me to learn and play the guitar words can't describe how he plays the guitar it just a master class in how to play an instrument be one with the instrument he inspired me and i hope he inspires others but i love all your reactions to david gilmour please keep doing your reactions ❤

[@mikewatts867]

This are some of the most gifted musicians in the world, on stage with him. Classically trained musicians even. And this humble guy that looks like a teacher comes out and completely blows everyone away. Every time, always.

[@geraldherrmann787]

On an emotional level, there is no better or greater guitarist than Gilmour. His guitar is an additional voice, singing. Also great composition. But of course there are shredders who are able to do stuff Gilmour can´t. So the answer is Yes and No alike, because it depends on the angle of view. For me personally, he´s the GOAT, because nobody is able to copy him.

[@jaybyrd11_11]

I absolutely love to watch y'all react to PF & the one & only David Gilmour!! The entire album On An Island is mind blowing! The Blue & Smile are my favorites on this album. He has 2 solo albums, the first was in 1978, self-titled David Gilmour. The second was in 1984, About Face. Both albums were done while he was still in Pink Floyd too. PLEASE KEEP IT UP! BOTH OF YOU MAKE ME HAPPY IN MY FINAL FEW YEARS. I'M ONLY 46, AND SUFFER NEARLY EVERY DAY, BUT YOUR REACTIONS MAKE EVERYTHING A LITTLE BIT BETTER ❤

[@deanadewall8400]

Rattle that lock and this album make 4. He has many more Live solo albums too.

[@jaybyrd11_11]

I know, I was aiming at those albums/songs in particular, hoping they'd get reacted to with more urgency. Simply because I like them more & I love live albums, but I was zeroing in on just his solos, not solos & Floyd mixed together, like at Gilmour concerts. And, the first album I mentioned was On An Island, my favorite of his solo work. I mentioned The Blue & Smile (both on the On An Island album).

[@roballen5718]

there's a 24 minute song, called Echoes, in this concert. it's an epic journey. an emotional journey. you'd love it, although you might just find it a little overwhelming. it's my favourite version of this song. a true experience. something otherworldly, even by Pink Floyd's standards.

[@ianfortier6796]

I 1000% second this. Some other Gilmour solo gems are Short & Sweet, So Far Away, Murder, Let's Get Metaphysical, The Blue and (live at either Gdansk or from the Remember That Night DVD), Rattle That Lock, 5am, In Any Tongue, A Pocketful Of Stones, Where We Start, Take A Breath, Faces Of Stone, And Then..., and Until We Sleep.

[@roballen5718]

@@ianfortier6796 oh, yes. the Blue is probably the sweetest, most hauntingly beautiful of Gilmour's songs

[@stenn1971]

​@@roballen5718 agree 👍

[@ianfortier6796]

@roballen5718 Definitely agree! The studio version is great and has almost a dream state quality to it, but personally, I prefer it live (which applies to the whole of the album), from the Remember That Night DVD. It feels like it breathes a little bit easier, and the guitar work throughout that whole show is sublime and vintage Gilmour.

[@CoolCoyote]

Underrated album this one.

[@bobmessier5215]

David Gilmour's guitar tone is so gorgeous and magical. I've heard many brilliant guitarists, but I agree with Dominica, David is the best.

[@victorpratt9920]

40 years of David... listened to all kinds of music from gang green to Sabbath, Black flag to gaga... always come back to this.. always

[@fd1930]

Guys! You don't need to stress about finding the "right words" - your enjoyment & appreciation shines through every time. Another great reaction and to a song I love very much.

[@DemiseUnseen]

You Two are amazing. Thank you for sharing yourselves with the universe.

[@bainzu1]

Thanks, beatiful reaction. Good life.

[@timadams3656]

"Everything in life makes sense when you listen to David Gilmour." That is the best description I've heard of David Gilmour. Bravo...! I was fortunate enough to attend the Pink Floyd Pulse tour in 1994 and it changed how I look at music forever. That experience completely changed how I look at music, whether it's country, rock, blues, etc. There are plenty of guitarists out there who are better technically than Gilmour, but if you want emotion played with each note, there is no one better.

[@tammyphxaz]

like fine wine, he has mellowed, improved, grew, aged?, he is truly a MASTER OF HIS CRAFT, he is one of those "one in a million pearls" and we are the lucky ones in that we are sharing this lifetime with him,,he is alive making music while we are alive to hear it and watch him,,,,,,let that sink in for a while,

[@uwmxer]

I HIGHLY recommend “In Any Tongue” from David Gilmour’s Pompeii concert!

[@stevewarwick805]

This is also amazing what a solo the smile says it all

[@IndyYakr]

Another great reaction to a timeless talent. You will never get any push back reacting to David Gilmour/Pink Floyd. Richard Wright (keyboards) and Guy Pratt (bass) are Floyd members. Phil Manzanera (guitar) is from Roxy Music, Steve DiStanislao (drums) is from Crosby and Nash and Jon Carin (keyboards) has toured with David for decades. All are stud musicians and all can sing. This concert like all is epic. A must see is Echoes from this concert. It's the last time David and Richard play this song together before Richard's passing. Anyway, you guys are great and I encourage you to do more from this concert as well as David's Rattle That Lock tour Live at Pompeii from 2016. He's 70 at this time and it's fantastic.

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Jon Carin play with Pink Floyd and Roger Waters too!!

[@jonhenke1504]

Try the song "The Blue" from the same concert and the same "On an Island" album!!! It's slightly slower and just as beautifully done!!! The three people from the Pulse concert that are here are David Gilmour of course, then you have "Guy Pratt" on base, and last "Richard Wright" on the keyboards and this was his last concert tour which was done in 2006 and unfortunately Richard passed away in 2008!!! Also this is the LAST concert ( in Gdansk) ever where David Gilmour played "Echoes" because he won't play it without Richard being there and it's an incredible version of Echoes, you should react to it as well!!!

[@davidrauh8118]

He speaks through his guitar. It makes you feel so emotional. Glad that you feel the same way. Enjoy.

[@richardmodglin3900]

Such talent! David takes us on a ride that cannot be described to someone who missed it. Great reaction!

[@Eisenstaub]

I think there is a time you have the pleasure to communicate with the music - and that is a special and wonderful gift, not every person have the chance to come in this intimate situation !!!

[@badatti2d]

I strive to watch all the reaction videos done to Pink Floyd...all the reactions are pretty much the same: speechless awe, and utter amazement at the soul-stirring talent and the absolute ability to reach right into your insides and touch every nerve to your heart. But, out of all the different reactions on KZbin, I especially LOVE watching your reactions to any PF track; your honesty and love for the sounds you hear are genuine, and make the watcher (as well as the listener) enjoy your reactions all that much more. I hope to see you react to many more of the Pink Floyd live concert videos. Thank You for making me feel a little less 'silly' for allowing this music to astound me to the point of speechlessness.

[@kevinbrine4223]

For what it's worth, David has been and remains my favorite guitarist and is the reason I picked up the instrument again. Having said that, even he and many other greats tip their hat to Jeff Beck. May he rest in peace.

[@jarbeck1]

“Echoes” from this concert is the best performance ever of that song - and the last time it was done live by Gilmour. He retired the song when Richard Wright passed

[@piotrek382]

This was recorded in Gdansk, in old shipyard. You must see Echoes from the same concert, Rick Wright who passed away year later gave a such stunning keyboard performance

[@christopherhuot2826]

David's wife always said he could only express his feelings through his guitar 🎸 and we're the beneficiaries 😅😊

[@TheFremenBlue]

I really love your reactions, and I'm so happy you're discovering the magic of David Gilmour and PF. His music resonates with my soul more than any other, by far. What is in his heart pours forth from his guitar, and it is beautiful. It's OK if it makes you cry sometimes, beautiful things do that to us. I'm just grateful for all the music he's given us - and please, Mr. Gilmour, just one more tour - I'd pay any price and travel anywhere to see him again. I saw him on his Rattle That Lock tour, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@user-audioTec76]

Every note played has a purpose. There is no randomness in Pink Floyd’s music. It’s all poetic.

[@jim5247]

Song: Rick ( keys) was a sailor and went to an island and those 2 plus 1 sat alone on an island. Rick pass away shorty after all these yrs. playing together. Notice the bow clap at the end. Guitar strap XXX belong to Jimi Hendrix who wore it on July 4 1970 playing the national anthem. Dave records on his house boat on the Thames. Gdansk: " The Blue" " Echoes"**** for the last time do to death of Rick. "Great Day for Freedom". Daves Plays at Pompeii as the only person to play in front of an audience since A. D." in any tongue" : Rattle that Lock' Thanks for doing Dave's solo work

[@JobyJonesJnr]

Lovely again. What a man Dave is. His solo from A Great Day For Freedom from the same concert is also breathtaking as usual

[@samuelemerson9579]

Echoes Live in Gdansk was absolutely amazing I think both of yous would love this version from David Gilmour

[@crazyfingers19]

His guitar is always singing. Full of emotion. Amazing.

[@flubblert]

David Gilmour, Rick Wright performing Pink Floyd's "Echoes" from this same concert will floor you.

[@flubblert]

Let me help you out a little with your descriptions 🙂... Majestic, spiritual, ethereal, sublime, emotional, captivating, exhilarating, and last but not least... pure art. David's guitar playing are the lyrics for the soul. Yes, that's Richard Wright on keyboards founding member of Pink Floyd. I saw your reaction to "High Hopes from 'Pulse'. He performs it here as well with the beautiful strings accompaniment and an extended acoustic guitar ending that will melt your heart. Worth checking out. 👍

[@hildesheimerbordegameplay6819]

Great Reaction, you say all that need to say! When David plugs his Guitarre it, seems he plug al USB Kabel to the Port in my brain and he install a great Programm that gives you all kind of Emotions. Listen To " Red Sky at Night" from the same Album, David Gilmour doesn´t play a Guitarre, but you will wonder, that he gaves you the same Emoutions that he is with his Guitarre. Greetings Axel

[@geraldherrmann787]

On keys you see Pink Floyd´s very own Rick Wright and on Bass Guy Pratt, Floyd-bassist eversince 1987. The second guitarist you see (there´s even a harmony solo) is Phil Manzanera, he was the guitarist of Roxy Music.

[@madelineshockley5906]

This is so amazing. Thank You for this, I don't think I would have seen this anywhere else. So grateful.

[@GaryParris]

it's a fantastic album and a perfect title for the album, it isolates you on an island of imagination and lets you view the universe through the music and guitar of David Gilmour, it's an amazing aural emotional escape from the world we live in.

[@RushfanUK]

David not only is one of the greatest guitar players ever but he also has a wonderful ear for vocal arrangements and along with Rick Wright created the sound that Floyd is rightly lauded for, he is playing from the heart and I am blessed t have seen him live with Pink Floyd and as a solo artiste.

[@sebastienwaslet9440]

As a guitarist myself i must admit that David is my God He's the one for me since i ear Pink Floyd early in the last seventies Thank you papa

[@williammuntzer7374]

Great reaction. Another solo piece of music that he performed is the song "Murder". In keeping with the simple themes of life, he chose a very delicate subject and turned it into a beautiful song.

[@LuciferPat]

Hi guys! Wow, I love yours reaction video and, when you listen/witching to pink Floyd or David... It's pure magig, emotion, not ordinary music but an experience! Wow! You have absolutely to do the live performance of David Gilmour in Pompei of the song : In any tongue!! ❤

[@TheMkamix]

I love the guitar and have many favorite solos by many guitar players, but no one has touched my soul like David Gilmour has. btw, Richard Wright, one the original members of Pink Floyd, was there on the Keyboard

[@SpaceOdditiesLive]

Great reaction as always! Just FYI: with David from the Pulse concert were Richard Wright (kybds), founder member of Pink Floyd, and Guy Pratt (bass) who has played bass with Pink Floyd/David Gilmour since 1987. By the way, I was at the Pulse concert and I was completely wiped out by it. I've never seen a better live event, nor expect to again. Also: you say that perhaps one requires a certain level of maturity to listen to music like this. I understand what you mean, but I was listening to Pink Floyd in 1970 when I was eleven and understood it perfectly. But then...in those years we did listen to complex music at a young age, and somehow "got it". I think it's because, back then, we were surrounded by, and immersed in, music of pure genius. It was the era of progressive rock, which broke new boundaries daily, and which was played by virtuoso musicians like Gilmour/Pink Floyd, but also bands like Yes (now that's a band you simply must listen to, but NOT their commercial 80s years - it has to be 70s Yes), Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and many, many others. It was a different age. I don't think music will ever see those golden years of creativity, experimentation and virtuosity again, and I count myself extremely lucky to have been young through those years when anything, literally anything, in music seemed possible. Thanks for what you do!

[@shecaso]

So true!

[@trevorbentley8834]

Great reaction as usual, and you two are just so lovely together. Gilmour is the G.O.A.T. for me. Others have mentioned most of what I would have said, but if you want to know more about Gilmour a great documentary is 'David Gilmour - Wider Horizons'. A fantastic watch. Love you guys!

[@markrhodes5828]

Not a note out of place perfection

[@Sober2003]

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

The best live version of this song you can find will be at this show called: later at Jools Holland. Also from the same show the song called Take a Breath. Same show. David Gilmour was promoting On an Island album. I think you need to revisit

[@artsilva]

Yes, Richard Wright the keyboardist is the other original Pink Floyd member on stage with David. There are a couple other live band members on stage that also tour with Pink Floyd Live, Good eye.

[@rickcarioti6746]

His gift keeps on giving . I’m so glad you both can appreciate and share this together. Another beautiful piece from this album is “Where we Start”.

[@thenote2367]

Yes, "Where We Start" is such a relaxing and peaceful piece. This live version with orchestra is one of my favs. It's Gorgeous. David paints a portrait of our journey through life while singing about a walk with his wife through nature as metaphor. The music,the lyrics and the restrained guitar solos..It all fits perfectly. Brilliant.🎉👏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZbEqmVteryphtU Oh..and HIGH HOPES on this Live in Gdansk is the best of all versions with that slide guitar solo and classical guitar outro. Amazing. Tears tunning down most audience cheeks.

[@marcnelson5637]

In 2006 I saw this show at the Paramount theater in Oakland California not only was it amazing they played that entire album through plus played all of Darkside of the moon and then came back for a medley of more songs. The coolest thing was though when I got home my friends cat had kittens right in the middle of his bed and so I picked two of them and they’re still with me today. And they do love Pink Floyd!

[@jonathansmith3742]

I saw it in New York at Radio City. Second best show ever. I saw The Wall in 1980.

[@melaniezette886]

[@tommythompson9565]

Looking forward to this video. Have not seen anyone react to this song. Knowing how good it is and how much you two like Pink Floyd, I clicked on this video as soon as I saw it. Let's see how y'all react to this one ... Edit : It is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. And make sure to listen to the album of the same name -- On An Island . You will feel marooned, but with no regrets because you won't want to be bothered while listening to it.

[@martinellis7156]

I never used to believe in the Astral plain or the consciousness of the Universe, but David Gilmour introduced me to both.

[@phillipdunn6009]

The other keyboard player in the white shirt has played with pink floyd for many years, pulse tour and delicate sound of thunder too, his name is john carin i believe.

[@MDElam]

This is such a great performance, and I think it was Richard Wright's last performance before he died. This song is beautiful, but also check out "Echoes" (from Pink Floyd's album Meddle) from this concert. Fans will give different answers about the best version of it, but I think this live performance is at the top. Again, love the reaction to this song!

[@ianfortier6796]

I think Rick had one more performance at the tribute concert for Syd in 2007 where they played Arnold Layne.

[@davidheath5282]

Wright the keyboard player is from Pink Floyd. The bass player is Guy Pratt, who has played with Gilmour for decades. The drummer has played with Gilmour for a long time too if Nick Mason isn't playing.

[@MrDuneedon]

Ah...I really, really wish I could have seen David solo with Rick Wright on keys -- but I didn't get to see a David solo show until 2016. Thankfully, though, I DID see Pink Floyd back in 1994.

[@jasonmorris2389]

Yo are correct about the other band members. The late Richard Wright of Pink Floyd was playing keyboards, and Guy Pratt, de facto bass player for Pink Floyd since 1987, was also playing. The other guitarist on stage, Phil Manzanera, is formerly of Roxy music.

[@ianfortier6796]

Jon Carin, the other keyboardist for Pink Floyd's live shows since 1987, was also there with David on this tour.

[@jasonmorris2389]

@@ianfortier6796 yes indeed 👍

[@bighousegroove]

Rick Wright (founding member of Pink Floyd is there). As is the bass player Guy Pratt from the 80s onward. This is called David Gilmour but he could have called it Pink Floyd if he had chosen to do so

Richard Wright from Pink Floyd played keyboards at this concert. It was his final concert before passing away with cancer. Gilmour retired the song echoes from this concert as it was unplayable without Richard Wright. There are two live versions of Echoes, one at Pompei and at thus Gdansk concert. Both are sensational.
