FIRST TIME HEARING 'Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (LIVE PULSE CONCERT '94) | GENUINE REACTION

[@Bubbaj5683]

You don't just listen, watch, or feel Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd.

100❤

[@KenMurch-u9h]

So true, if you truly listen it takes you to another place. I’m 73 and my adult children in there late 40s don’t get it. They think I’m demented when they catch me listening with volume up. They are missing out.

[@gryndyl]

The reason your Floyd reaction video got so many views is because they're one of the greatest bands ever and they have a lot of fans who know just how deep the Pink Floyd rabbit hole is and we love watching people fall into the rabbit hole for the first time. You've got a lot of eargasm ahead of you mate; these guys are legends.

[@15thBend]

right on!!! 💯

[@willpatterson4866]

You are correct. The best band ever.

[@pattykealey1783]

You are such a sweet kid. I love that you love this music.. this band came out in the 1970s. That’s why they look so old now. The singers name is David Gilmour. There’s a man named Roger Waters that also used to be in the band, but he tried to take control over it and he and David Gilmore do not get along anymore. David Gilmour is far superior in his vocals and his raw talent. Waters is good too but he has a serious attitude problem which is why he’s not there.

[@jazzquebec2847]

@@pattykealey1783 Yes I think like you about Waters, Roger.

[@billrehberg9271]

Yup...

[@loristone9242]

I saw Pink Floyd live on The Division Bell Tour in Dallas at Texas Stadium in the Spring of 1994. During Comfortably Numb, a light rain had started. The laser lights were shining through the mist. It was so surreal. It was like the stadium was floating. It felt like a dream.

[@glenjames8093]

I still have the concert t shirt from there best concert ever

[@rff2552]

Greatest guitar solo ever. David Gilmour doesn't play the guitar, he makes it sing directly to your soul. It is called the Gilmour effect!!!

[@danielcarter94]

He IS the guitar and the guitar is him, Man.

I suffer from this condition, he is my Fav guitar soloist.

[@warren1099]

A classic example of 'less is more'.

[@go-nogo1475]

@@warren1099 He doesn't play blisteringly fast, because each note needs to be heard. Each one has something to say, and when you experience each one as it is, and then the accumulation of meaning-laden musical words, it can often be emotionally overwhelming, sometimes enlightening, but always in earnest. His guitar never lies to me. My soul knows it's all true. :)

[@jazzquebec2847]

@@go-nogo1475 Damn You said so well about Gilmour and his Guitar... Thx.

[@SpiritualAlien]

As an old fart (70) it does my heart good to see youngun's such yourself discovering and appreciating the music that our generation was raised on. I know that our older generation is always going on about how the music and bands of our time were so much better than what is being offered today - but I think it is performances like this that lend credibility to that claim. And good job not interrupting what is universally revered as one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded! Next stop - "Sorrow" from the same P.U.L.S.E. concert. Hell - why not just watch the whole thing?! One of the greatest things you may ever see in your life!

[@stevensantiago8978]

I never even knew about it until I started watching reaction videos. I saw it back in November and was completely mesmerized! I agree that watching young people discover such great music is very gratifying! I'm not far behind you at 65 but I still love playing music!

[@coolbyrne]

Imagine going into that concert, knowing you're going to see greatness, then you see THAT solo.

[@keyrat1753]

The light show looks futuristic by today’s standards; yet, this concert happened almost 30 years ago in 1994. This is just another example of Pink Floyd being ahead of their time.

[@danedearmond4905]

Mark Brickman (the lighting designer for the Pulse concert) was a Mad Genius.

[@keyrat1753]

From the same Pulse Concert, check out SORROW and RUN LIKE HELL. These guys were literally masters of live performances, not to mention seriously talented musicians.

Absolutely, YES!

[@evilweeja]

30 years ago I took my 16 year old daughter as her last wish to goto a concert with her dad to see Floyd Pulse concert at Earls Court 1994 was the year .. I find it hard to put it into words how the concert was for me or my daughter .. watching how my daughter just cried an sang her heart out sadly she passed away a few days after but I'm a very proud dad that she got to experience this ONCE in a lifetime event .. this concert was subliminal / emotional / out of this world IMMENSE from start to finish .. Simply the best how David made his guitar touch our souls his solo's was not of this world ! 200,000 watts 90,000+ fans and one of thee best visual moments you could ever experience in a concert ( for 1994 this was not heard of or ever seen in any other concert of that time .. nothing has come close even to this day ! ) ..the crowd was INSANE respect to everyone there, the backing singers just smashed it they was immense ! And you are correct .. that WAS thee CENSORED best solo guitar .. Ever ! As Gilmour made his guitar sing and then cry at the end .. wow just WOW ! 30 years ago and I'm still sitting there with my daughter in spirit experiencing our souls being lifted to another dimension ! PULSE for life .. Respect to you for reacting to this concert worth watching from start to finish ! All the very best ..

[@scozz6139]

David Gilmour is an international treasure, one of the all time Greats! Every Pink Floyd song is an experience, especially live.

[@ianbrooke6342]

So this concert was part of a world tour playing to over 6 million people over 60 cities. They had 3 stage-sets of equipment in 53 articulated lorries weighing over 700 tons, one was in use at the current location, one was being setup at the next location and the other travelling to the location after that. Initial investment cost $4 million plus $25 million running costs, 161 crew, gross profit over $250 million. That's how you do a real tour! I am unbelievably pleased that I managed to get tickets to the night-after this recording, utterly amazing.

[@pattykealey1783]

Wow, I had no idea

[@thumpermcfar]

There's a reason it's called the greatest rock guitar solo ever!!!

No matter how many times I hear this version of the guitar solo, I am emotionally touched, every time.

I’m 62 this year and when I was in high school, I use to ride in an old Chevy van and blast Pink Floyd on the 8 track……..FANTASTIC! Still listening to this in my 4-runner, WAY TOO LOUD😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️

The whole Pulse concert was amaxing.

[@karinwolf3645]

I had a stroke when I was 21. I couldn't talk properly for two weeks while the bloodclot passed through my brain. No one believed there was something serious wrong with me. It was just like in this song! So this has been my song for decades. I'm 73 now. It was truly terrifying! 😱😱😱😵😵. The beauty of this song helps. 💋💖🎸🎶🎵👵🐺🌵

[@cynthiawatson6104]

The drummer, NIck Mason, keyboardist Rick Wright (RIP) and guitarist David Gilmour are Pink Floyd. The first two go back to the beginning with Roger Waters (bass) and the late Syd Barret. Gilmour was brought in to cover guitar when Barret did a bit too much LSD even to the point of losing his mind and leaving the band. Later Waters left and the three continued on with guest musicians as you see here to give the full experience of their music live. The girls have been with them for quite some time. Durga, Sam and Claudia. You need to continue your journey into PF. It is a journey and one you will enjoy. Remember, a lot of their albums were conceptual and should be listened to in their entirety beginning to end. It warms this old rocker's soul to see young people enjoying our music. It was, after all, the best.

[@karenglenn6707]

Claudia has sadly passed away, from cancer I believe.

Pink Floyd began in London in 1965. There are 3 members of the band from the 1960s performing at around age 50 at the Pulse Concert.

I’ll counter with One of These Days. I was 10th row and those fireballs started to worry me.

[@roadkill7314]

I agree completely. Maybe it's because I've seen Comfortably Numb so many times but I actually prefer Sorrow from this concert. Absolutely epic!

Please check out the songs Sorrow, High Hopes, Keep Talking and Run Like Hell on the same Pulse live concert. So many great songs by PF . You will not be disappointed, guaranteed! You are going to get addicted to PF !! 😊.

I'd add Any Colour You Like to that list as well. It's such an underappreciated gem from this show.

[@Peterepeat55]

That was a fantastic concert, i flew from here in Australia just to see it in 1994 a life changing experience. iv'e been a Floydy for over 50 yrs now, and taught myself how to play a guitar, after listening to wish you were here. i have everything they have ever done Brilliant. also the second solo in this version is the best solo EVER, some will say the solo from stairway to heaven is better. you decide ???

[@Peterepeat55]

Another good solo is in the song called Time, album version. and the lyrics are 100% true

TY for appreciating the music I grew up with. No way to explain the variety of talented musicians that shaped my life. It truly means the world to us that you are diving in.

Pink Floyd "PULSE" incredible video you need to see the unbelievable light show, its incredible

[@g0fvt]

This was recorded at Pulse 1994, specifically a performance at Earls Court London, you should look at the other songs performed at the same event. The cost of the lighting rigs (they had three sets) was allegedly hundreds of millions of pounds.

[@TimM-j2t]

From another older generation guy but young enough to appreciate todays technology, thank god we have technology that's able to pass on a piece of the world we fell in love with for the some of today who endeavor to explore the paths of yesterday. Ive watched a few of Floyds concert in 4K and it's hypnotic; just like yesterday. Welcome to the beautiful world of Pink Floyd man. Thank you for looking back. These guys are, again, legends. But for us they were...tomorrow.

[@margaretroebuck2938]

That feeling in your chest when you hear a great guitar solo is why we listen. It speaks to your heart. There is nothing like hearing a great guitarist live. Love your reactions! You make me remember laying on the floor of my room, headphones on, tripping my ass off to this. Enjoy this rabbithole, sweetheart.

[@eileenbogle3938]

I saw Floyd in 1987. I was 15 years old, 13 rows from the front and was beautifully blinded by the light show and then shut off into blindness with lights still stuck in my vision. It was badass

[@youraccount7003]

I was there and it was the best concert ever. No stereo is able to do it justice though as they played their music through a stadium sized quadraphonic sound system which just blows you away. Check out the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert,, a song called On the Turning Away. Awesome solo and amazing harmonies. You won't be disappointed. Great reaction thanks.

[@curtadams7406]

Well, after watching your reaction to the studio version, it was a foregone conclusion that you would love this Pulse version. If you react to more PF, consider that one must be a patient listener--a lot of songs are unconventional and include long intros and interludes, these are integral to the effect the band wanted to achieve. And give attention to the lyrics, they are icing on the musical cake.

[@elizabethness3629]

FFS DAVID Thank you Thank you from the bottom of my SOUL !!!!

[@victoriakellogg4973]

Fun fact: I was in the womb this year & my parents were outside of the concert venue where they could hear the concert. I swear that’s why I am into this era of music. ❤ I was born in June 1994.

[@LoriLynch-bt8tj]

I got to see them play this song live when it came out and they went on tour to promote their album. OMG, when the song ended you could have heard a pin drop in that huge stadium...we had our minds blown SO much we couldn't think!! Then within a minute the whole place erupted with clapping and cheering we were almost afraid the place might collapse down on us! LOL And I agree, I think this guitar solo just might be the BEST EVER created. David Gilmour is a GOD!

[@chriswebb7822]

I had heard at the time that it took 43 tractor trailer trucks and about 200 workers to setup the stage show prior to the concert starting. Unreal band, completely and totally unmatched, even today!

[@MegaIronleg]

THEN TRIPLE THAT, THEY HAD THREE COMPLETE STAGE SETUPS. ONE THIER PLAYING ON, ONE IN TRANSIT N ONE BEING SET UP.

[@jonhenke1504]

You need to check them out when they were your age and we were your age and discovered them!!! You definitely need to check out their song "Echoes" Pink Floyd live in Pompeii 1971!!!! They play in a two thousand-year-old recently uncovered ancient Roman amphitheatre with no audience! Their song Echoes is a true journey! Or if you want something fast-paced and will spin your head around do the studio version of "Run Like Hell"!! You're doing great not pausing guitar solos and you appear to have a good sense of humor! Stick with the Floyd for a while and watch your channel blow up!!!! Believe me watching people discover the genius of Pink Floyd is a treat for us! That's why your channel will blow up!!!

[@MollyBoyTV]

I’ll definitely check out more Pink Floyd! I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction! Thanks for watching!

The only thing better than Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd live. I hope you keep up listening to their music because they're one of the best bands that's ever been. They've influenced every genre of music that's come after them. And don't shy away from the long songs. This one is only 9 minutes, Echoes is a 23 minute masterpiece that will leave you wanting more. Happy listening. 🤘🏽💗

[@arclight545]

21st century presentation in 1994. Pink Floyd are the absolute God's of Live performance. Every song from the Pulse concert has the same level of production. What you watched was Studio quality. They created the Pulse Live album from this concert.

[@Karen_in_Canada]

They made millions. Pink Floyd was legendary. Today's bands ignore instruments which can talk to you

[@boosuedon]

The concert was recorded at Earls Court in England and was recorded in 1994. Only three of the musicians here are Pink Floyd, Guitarist David Gilmore, Drummer, Nick Mason and key board, Richard Wright. All of the rest are hired session musicians which was necessary in order to replicate the songs as heard on the albums.

The 2 solos go back and forth as the best and second best of all time. I would consider the Sorrow solo live at Pulse to bei n the mix of the 3 best Its great that you are discovering Pink Floyd only now, lucky you. The lighting, set design and Quadraphonic sound are also considered to be the best ever done. Amazing because LED screens and computers didnt exist then, all analog and they had 3 sets for the tour! Also notice that cell phones were non existent so everyone was experiencing the moment. Those days are gone......................

[@Oron-n5l]

This a fantastic live version of a gorgeous song. From the reactions that I have viewed on KZbin, "Comfortably Numb" does seem to garner the highest praise for its guitar solo. There is a Genesis song from 1973, which appears to be second only to this one, in which the guitar solo moves and impresses the first-time listeners. It is called "A Firth of Fifth", with Peter Gabriel on lead vocals, Phil Collins on drums and backing vocals, and Mike Rutherford of the 1980s band Mike and the Mechanics, on bass, 12-string rhythm guitar and bass pedals. Tony Banks wrote and played the brilliant main theme on piano, and the genius Steve Hackett plays electric lead guitar, with the amazing, soaring solo. Be sure to listen on loudspeakers, or at least add a subwoofer to your headphones, because the bass pedals during the guitar solo will not only shake your walls, it will shake your world. And it is better to find the original studio album version, as good as Genesis were live.
