(Note: This song is a test for you - it has one of the most iconic, beautiful and longest guitar solos of all time. Can you handle it?)

David Gilmour makes that guitar weep like a soul that’s in pain.

[@SeizeDaCarp]

Pink Floyd are some of the greatest to ever make music, in my opinion. Their music has stood the test of time and I will listen anytime I hear one of their songs on. Just plain talent and creativity.

[@steveboyes2090]

Guitars grow up and wish David Gilmour will play them.

[@dwhite849]

I'm 100 percent mine does 61 years of playing the same 12 string - I am sure she wants a better player

[@jwozniak1]

Probably one of the greatest guitar solos ever - for all the reasons you gave. Pink Floyd. Never boring, and they take you to unexpected phantasmagorical places.

[@izbo10]

Gilmour sings in his solos with his guitar solos. He doesn’t shred it, he makes each note matter

[@vickysmith9865]

And this is why Pink Floyd are my all time favourite. Between the emotions you feel from the lyrics then the roller coaster of the instrumentation each album thro s you into a storyline of struggles in humanity ❤

[@jonhenke1504]

David gilmour's guitar solos always take you on a ride. He never tries to outshine the band throw fire in the air play so fast you can't see his hand or run around stage and kick things!!! He simply tries to play the best sounding music he can for his audience!! That's what he does in every song he performs and that is why he is at least in the top five guitar soloists on the planet ever!!

[@torstenlaumen5766]

You can hear music and you can hear Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd takes you on another higher Level of Music.

[@lorihutcheon5363]

Unlike you Fil, I love long guitar solos…if you can’t chill with Floyd you simply can’t chill period! So glad you appreciated this beautiful artistry from an undinably time of pure talent🤩

[@hudsonhollow]

Not one dimension indeed! Unknown dimensions of time and space!

[@scozz6139]

Pink Floyd is on another level altogether,...

[@FrankWarnerWords]

Fil, I was at this concert, 3rd row from the front. My fav gig of all time, an aural and visual extravaganza . The triangle thing is a prism. Yes, layer upon layer, in the musical production, is a hallmark of their work. Love, love, loved your reaction. #QcumberSquad #PinkFloyd - Fil, I'm off back to the study.

[@IamSammy1]

Wow that’s amazing that you were there…closest I got was owning the CD.

[@Dirty_Wizard]

I was only 10 when this musical masterpiece was done, My dad was at this vid in 94 and he has been to numerous concerts to watch Pink Floyd and out of them all he said this was by far his best, and he was at the Carnegie hall gig in 1972, he worked as a seafarer between Liverpool UK and New York and was lucky to be in New York on the day. I love listening to his stories and I think I was born in the wrong era 😂

[@FrankWarnerWords]

@@Dirty_Wizard Wow, that's a great story. Thank you.

[@angelagraves865]

I love the layers and complexity of PF's music. I've been listening to them for decades and still notice things in their music that I've never heard before from time to time. I've heard more than one person talk about how that layered quality of PF's music affects the neurodivergent mind, too. Like it touches different parts of the brain and brings them together in this beautiful coherence, calming the scattered mind. Then when you add the emotional component of the music the experience can be ecstatic. I also heard someone recently talking about how PF is high vibrational, seventh chakra stuff, and while I don't know anything about that, I can tell you that there have been a few occasions in my life when I've been so depressed that PF's music was painful. So maybe there's something to that? 🤔🤷🏽‍♀ Whatever. They're different. 💗🤘🏽

[@philshorten3221]

Gilmour has a "trick" he plays using alot of precise and really hard to hit perfectly big "bends". So instead of "picking" the higher fretted note which is a step change, he bends the string, this increases the frequency until he reaches the higher note. But that's a curve, not a step. The human brain can ride the wave and interpret the emotion. Most guitar players use this technique to go up a semitone or three. Gilmour frequently bends 3, 4 or occasionally 5 semitones and lands it perfectly everytime. The man is an emotional Strat Wizzard!

[@jessievoisin5462]

I LOVED the unintentional Dark Side of the moon prism effect in your KZbin plaque for the entire video. Thanks for the reaction!

[@IamSammy1]

Fil, you passed the test. Well done and great reaction.

[@Rackelhane]

For me PinkFloyd is the greatest band ever. Way ahead of their time they wrote some magical music never heard before or after. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@jean-philippeperetti8463]

No guitar solo has ever, ever, ever, ever, stirred my emotions like David's solo in this song during the Division Bell Tour. Dave Mustain (Metallica, Megadeth) said that "DG could do more with one note than modern shredders could do with a dozen."

[@stephanwebmet5809]

THANK you for resisting the pause during a Gilmour solo! Great reaction!

[@keyrat1753]

Great reaction. From the same Pulse collection, please check out SORROW, and also RUN LIKE HELL.

[@jacquespoulet3421]

The majority of Pink Floyd songs are not exactly pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz or anything else. A Pink Floyd song is not so much about «melody», nor rimes, as much as about emotions (normally dark emotions like despair, sadness, lonlyness, etc). David's guitare is expressing those universals emotions like no one else!

[@MrTombre]

Legendary track

[@curtadams7406]

Well, you really nailed it with your comments at 8:00-9:00. I know this song and performance intimately, but you just schooled me.

[@jamesrowe3606]

Wow! A David Gilmour guitar solo that you wouldn't get irritated by. High praise indeed!

[@paweszyksznian4707]

1979 - powstał utwór, 1994 - wykonanie właśnie tego utworu na żywo 20 października 1994, z Earls Court w Londynie w ramach trasy koncertowej promującej album The Division Bell.

[@therosabella67]

Yeah, I do feel exactly the same way about the way their music makes me feel.

[@therosabella67]

Pink Floyd music is very artistic, complex, intelligent and intellectual. So many layers of vibes and moods. I love guitars solos: it’s like an out of body experience, like floating through the universe with so much heart and soul, like every cell in your body feels it all.

[@geraldherrmann787]

You have to love all Gilmour-solos. He´s not showing off. Many guitar solos are boring because the artists get lost in showing off pentatonic skills (today you´ll even have a million 6 year old Asian kids out there who pull off the greatest pentatonic runs ever). But Gilmour´s guitar is not about showboating ... "she" is another voice in the orchestra. That´s why we are so invested: it´s like listening to somebody who reads out a beautiful poem, but on guitar.

[@geraldherrmann787]

You watched a few songs from PULSE, which is one of the greatest concert-experiences ever, BUT: at Pulse, you´re watching Floyd 30 years into their game. I´m sure you would love to see them young ... here´s a suggestion: ECHOES Live in Pompeii 1971/72

[@darylabbott2032]

Great Reaction watch Sorrow from pulse concert. Also keep talking from same show. On The Turning Away 1988 live also

[@FrankWarnerWords]

Sammy, abso-f*cking-lutely. Thanks, mate.

[@IamSammy1]

You got it brother

[@andyhigginson7900]

The revolving cabinets with the lights are Leslie speakers which are used for the keyboards, to give an enhanced swirling effect to the music

[@WeAretheMatrix31]

Appreciate you representing Detroit in this video.

[@steviesellers]

1979 is the release of the LP The Wall . i was at the wall concert tour 1980 and was at this concert in 1994 , been a fan since 1972 when i was 10 when my dad bought me the LP Meddle with my fav track of Floyd called Echoes 23 mins long lol

[@philipkudrna5643]

Next: Pulse live: „High hopes“ or „Keep talking“!

[@tlegters]

The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shall not in any way interrupt a David Gilmour solo!

[@Cashcrop54]

Agree with all your comments. This video from that concert is actually a shorter edit of the solo. It's 45 sec or so longer in reality (whatever that might be).

[@davidpetersen-mx1cj]

You need to watch the movie "The wall". All the songs are put into some sort of context, but comfortably numb stars Bob Geldof as the rock star and it explains this song in it's entirety. The childhood references, the "time to go", the "can you stand up", "just a little pinprick", - just watch the movie and it will all make sense. If you need any more context into how the subject of this song ended up like he did just listen to the song "Mother" on the same album and it should become clear. Rock stars on bordering on overdose with parental "issues".

[@hognaut]

Gilmour is the reason the guitar was invented !

[@marcosodin464]

Epic guitar solo...David Gilmour is the best 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@timshuey917]

That David Gilmour solo could be shorter, said no one ever.

[@roadkill7314]

The 2 bands that immediately come to mind that always give you an out of body experience are Pink Floyd and Tool.

[@randlnickel9196]

KABOOOOMB

[@jim1125-cv6yg]

Listen to David Gilmour : Live at Pompeii" at 70 yrs old "Sorrow". Dave plays his "Black Strat" with his Jimi Hendrix XXX guitar s rap that he wore on July 4,1970 playing the National Anthem. Guitar sold at auction for $3.9 million without the guitar strap

[@bondoman80]

Hey kind of wondering when you were going to do the Clancy album by twenty one pilots? I remember you saying they were your favorite band. There my favorite too. Answer, don’t answer just wondering.

[@lesliemcquillan4420]

how can people who say its there first time watching it for the first time and at least don't watch half of the video...bull shit..theve already watched it...boils my piss.m

[@johng.8517]

Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Awaken", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

[@milkoangelopietrosanchioni8525]

Gilmour Live Pompei is the best version

[@marcimarie1473]

Didn’t really feel like your standard guitar solo, right? Like the guitar was singing as well. That’s why this one made the list for the best guitar solo, ever. I’m no musician, but I think a child can figure this out. All there is to do is FEEL it.

[@scottdetter]

Nice review but I like your books more! Stay strong brother it all starting to change, just look at what happened in France.

[@johnny85er]

Please listen to Phish!

[@user-jd7is2dc5z]

If you don't appreciate a guitar solo it's because you are listening to the worng bands/music. There's no other explanation..

[@henningandersen683]

Sorry you mist the show

[@robmcilheney1657]

Can't hear any commentary relative to the song. EQ the sound, my man.

[@keithclark7448]

If you are going to react to a video you shoujd at least watch it instead of having your eyes closed

[@kevingood4644]

Why?

[@russmaddock614]

Sorry had to stop watching . You even paused the first solo. Good luck in your life as a reactor, you will be minus at least one viewer

[@BobGR]

Lol by leaving Russ, you missed the part where he missed the visuals!

[@MJM1309]

Remember Carl Sagan's series COSMOS the keys in part sound a little like Sagan's COSMOS theme

[@MJM1309]

David plays within the song and never deviate's
