Pink Floyd - 'Comfortably Numb LIVE Pulse Concert' Reaction! Powerful Guitar Solo, Deep Lyrics!

Let's have some fun together and join our Facebook group This Is It Media by clicking the link groups/69818...
"Comfortably Numb" is one of the most iconic songs by the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was released in 1979 on their album "The Wall," which was written largely by Roger Waters, the bassist and primary lyricist of the band.
The song is known for its powerful guitar solos and haunting lyrics. It's often considered one of Pink Floyd's greatest achievements and has been hailed as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.
"Comfortably Numb" features dual lead vocals, with David Gilmour singing the verses and Roger Waters singing the chorus. The lyrics convey a sense of emotional detachment and numbness, possibly influenced by Waters' feelings of alienation and disillusionment during the time of writing "The Wall."
The song is particularly famous for its mesmerizing guitar solos, notably the extended guitar solo performed by David Gilmour. The solo, which occurs towards the end of the song, is often cited as one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history.
"Comfortably Numb" has been covered by numerous artists and has been featured in various films, television shows, and commercials over the years. Its enduring popularity and critical acclaim have solidified its place as one of Pink Floyd's signature songs.

When a new Pink Floyd album came out you locked yourself in your room with gigantic headphones on high as hell and left the planet

[@kierstenridgway4634]

😂😂❤❤❤✌️

[@vernhoke7730]

When I bought "Dark Side of the Moon" in '73, I did just that. Had the posters from the album hung next to my poster of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant from their concert at Madison Square Garden in '73, from "The Song Remains the Same" movie. Had my black light on and, as they say, the rest is history.

Seeing Pink Floyd Live was a Religious Experience. Ohio State Stadium with over 150 Thousand People Easy Probably closer to 200 Thousand. They played for 3 and half hours minus a 45 minute break. Greatest concert in my life and the Best Light Show Ever. His music will last forever.

[@davehind3193]

This concert is from 1994 .The song is from 1979 The Wall album which is a concept album that is a story about a character named pink based on bassist Roger Water's life from a young child losing his father in the war and all the trials and tribulations of life that have cause him to self isolate (Build the wall ) best listened to from song one til the end there is also a movie of the same name Pink Floyd The Wall . I saw this show live at the Pontiac Silver Dome just out side of Detroit aprrox. 6-8 months before this video was made. I've been to over 200 concerts this is by far the best I've seen . Pink Floyd isn't just music it's an experience.

[@tonyh3219]

For over 40 years that line ' When I was a child I caught a fleeting glinpse out of the corner of my eye....' gets me emotional every time I hear it. Great reaction , love your work.

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

No matter what the band says about the lyrics, that it was inspired by one of them feeling ill before a show and getting some kind of a shot, this song is really a perfect description of someone getting deeper into psychosis (schizophrenia). He's trying to describe how it feels, but feels that the listener can't understand. He's getting comfortably numb, that is, retreating from the pain of the real world, and the first guitar solo is in a major key, and very hopeful. He's given some medication so he can get on the stage and perform, but then he returns to his numb state, and the second solo, in a minor key, is very anguished and sad, which says to me that he's not really comfortably numb at all, but tortured. IMHO, although it fits into the storyline of The Wall, I believe it's about Syd, the original band member who had to leave due to schizophrenia. They have many songs about him (Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, etc.)

[@rick5440]

Pink Floyd was their own genre. They blazed trails, took risks, did all the unconventional things and won.

Man . . . you guys talk about my youth like it was the stone age and music was bangin' sticks on logs. I feel so old!

[@seanb66]

Well done, gentlemen. I'm not a young man any longer, but listening to Pink Floyd always brings me back to my youth mentally. To think that this song is 45 years old and impacted you all in this way is testament to its greatness. That said, I STRONGLY recommend that you listen to an even older piece of Pink Floyd's music. In 1973 I was a senior in high school and the band released what I consider to be the greatest album ever produced, The Dark Side of the Moon. To give you an idea of just how highly respected this album is, it was listed on the Billboard Top 200 for 942 consecutive weeks! That's not a typo. That's over 18 consecutive YEARS on the charts! It's the longest Billboard charted album by far, and there's a reason for it. It's simply hypnotic. Having listened to and appreciated Comfortably Numb, you owe it to yourselves to listen to the band's masterpiece. Listen to it from beginning to end. I have no doubt that you'll all be glad you did.

[@rogerk55]

That stage show would still be incredible to see today. Try to imagine seeing this live 25 years ago. No other band was even close to this on stage. Of course the music is spectacular, it is Pink Floyd after all. They don't play a lot of notes, just all the right ones.

[@sparky4878]

I believe it was, at the time, the most expensive set to go on tour and the highest grossing rock tour. They had three sets. So they could be playing on one whilst another was being set up in the next city and the previous set being taken down to move on again.

[@vernhoke7730]

The look on your faces said it all as that epic solo came to an end. I first heard this when I bought "The Wall" in '79 and 45 years later I still get the chills when David lets his Strat sing the end of this piece. Live it is even more awesome.

[@FENicholson]

Beyond the literal description of a doctor giving a band member drugs, there is the deeper level of how our world can destroy compassion and love. The first guitar solo is the euphoria of comfortable numbness to face anything, then the second solo of lament of now being comfortably numb and the loss of connection and isolation. All expressed in music. That fleeting glimpse of love by a child, now lost in the modern man. Incredible.

[@hawk2390]

Experiencing the pulse tour in the late 80's is something that will never leave me.
