[@wokenessiscancer2176]

pink floyd are a british national treasure. legends

[@bobshaw2232]

every phrase in that solo was perfectly done

[@MrArdytube]

I love this PERFORMANCE and REALLY appreciate the insights of a guitarist on the techniques he is using ❤

[@keyrat1753]

Normally, I don’t like to hear talking over the music, but in your case, I enjoyed hearing your detailed analysis of this performance, and particularly the complexities of David Gilmour’s guitar work. Thank you!

[@mattlovesguitar12]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aaronherbison7316]

Those second solo triplets are just iconic Gilmour and just brilliant and you're the only reactor I've ever heard mention them. I just love this song and you're analysis is spot on

[@kittymccarthy2111]

Thanks for taking me back to the genious of DAvid Gilmore❤

[@mattlovesguitar12]

Thanks so much for tuning in and listening to that amazing performance with me! All of your comments are cherished and I enjoy reading them! Please subscribe and stay tuned!

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Great description of what David is doing on his guitar, thank you! Your voice has a great tone ( not annoying) while the song is playing. He is a guitar master.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Guy Pratt is an excellent bass player; he also married Rick Wright's daughter, Gala. Great analysis of this great song and guitar solo by David Gilmour.

[@lr-vr3dq]

Wish I could have been there for this amazing concert.

[@genegiusti6239]

Great reaction! Saw them on this tour twice in one week, once just wasn't enough. Some 30 years later still one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen.

[@flubblert]

You've just witnessed greatness. But I suspect you already knew that. I saw the tour live when it came to Soldier Field in Chicago summer of '94. As good as the video is, it does not do the live experience justice. The sound the lights the wattage goes through you. Transcendent.

[@richardturk7162]

By far the best live video of this song. David has so much feeling in his solos its like he is letting the guitar tell the story.

[@keyrat1753]

From the same Pulse Concert, please check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL (fasten your seat belt for Run Like Hell).

[@garygimmestad4272]

There's another video of this concert with different camera angles and better sound. Incredible performance!

[@tommc3622]

This version is also cut down. The full high quality version is 2-3 minutes longer.

[@markbennett2284]

My dad and myself went to this absolutely amazing concert, have been to other concerts and festivals but nothing will ever come close to the feeling of euphoria ❤

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

Echos, Pompeii, 1971. Thank you.

[@mattlovesguitar12]

Coming soon

[@sharhune2735]

Only two words to describe David Gilmore and his solo on this song. "Mind Blown".

[@achprn1256]

This is a professional analysis. Thank you.

[@torstenlaumen5766]

You can hear music and you can hear Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd takes you on another higher Level of Music. There are so many great Songs you must hear. Echoes live from Pompeii , Run like hell, Sorrow, One of these days, Time. All from the Pulse Album. Then you must hear the Album Wish You Were and Here The Dark side of the moon.

[@mattlovesguitar12]

I've heard all those performances and plan on doing analyses and reactions to those in the future. Definitely going to do Echoes live at Pompeii the next time I do a Pink Floyd song! Stay tuned!

[@KevinWalton-me4vv]

I grow up.listen to.heavy metal and see these 11 or 12 timelive

[@fabricedozias3235]

listen "sorrow" same concert. A masterpiece

[@GaryParris]

i saw AMLOR tour just before pulse, where they were showcasing the same stage show, this still one of the best solos of all time, they are that good every-time. the show leaves you in a heightened state of overwhelming numbness afterwords, your brain is still catching up and going it doesn't get better than what you just witnessed on you visual audio senses.

[@steveboyes2090]

every song in the pulse concert is fire....great stuff. Do Great Gig in the Sky. They also do extra fill on Money and Another Brick in the Wall songs

[@danieldominguez7657]

Masterpiece

[@jim5247]

Dave wrote the music to this song on an acoustic guitar for a solo album but didn't use it. Gave it to Roger who wrote the lyrics this is their last concert tour with 14 days in a row sold out at Earl's Court. Saw this 5 fives inside and outside. Outside needed FAA clearance for lasers. Disco ball is a FU to music critics who said Pink Floyd would not make it cause they don't play dance music.

[@SleepDeprived67]

I love this!

[@thomasvieth578]

I think that what you called tweaks or twitches were his masterful use of overtones that string instruments provide if you know how to use them

[@KevinWalton-me4vv]

Please never ever stop a solo or you brake a rule

[@Peterepeat55]

Hi, Roger Waters was out of the band in 1985, the new bassist is Guy Pratt. Waters then tried to stop Pink Floyd by legal action over the next few years, to no avail. The next album from Pink Floyd was A momentary Lapse Of Reason. a brilliant Album. i flew from here in Australia just for this concert, a life changing event iv'e been a Floydie for 50 yrs now and after hearing Wish You Were Here,i taught myself to play guitar. This was a brilliant concert and went on the friday and saturday night PERFECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dboss7239]

Yes, Waters left not long after The Wall. And while he was a masterful lyricist, most of the musical brilliance was from Gilmour and Wright. Their light shows were always spectacular. I saw them live in 1976. For a fabulous example of Gilmour's talent, watch this from his tour with Richard, just before Richard passed away: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIbCnGt4g6iWha8 (High Hopes - David Gilmour live @ Gdansk 2006) He is accompanied by the entire string section of the Polish Orchestra, and does two solos: one on the lap steel and a truly angelic outro on the acoustic.

[@flooglebinder3493]

Good reaction Please also consider HIGH HOPES from the same PULSE Live gig 👍

[@hognaut]

Love the analysis and the explanation of how David was getting those sounds. Not known as one the greatest guitarist but this is one one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. It's not all about speed it's about quality

[@detroitlady7201]

David's a legend with guitar and everything else!

[@flubblert]

Not known as one of the greatest guitarists? What world are you living in?

[@hognaut]

@@detroitlady7201 very very true, he should be given a knighthood

[@secondchance6603]

I would highly, highly recommend any live version of Steve Vai 'Whispering A Prayer' for some of the most beautiful note bending ever. He can bring a cord back from the dead and keep it for eternity...

[@mattlovesguitar12]

That song is now on my list to analyze/react to. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ericsandi6619]

Great job!

[@mattlovesguitar12]

Thanks!

[@capetowntrikeman]

Check out On The Turning Away...live! David at his best.

[@miamicool666]

The Image of David Gilmour on your video is rather that of the concert in Pompeii.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

To answer your question Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985. He then sued Pink Floyd because he felt since he left the band it should no longer exist. He lost the case.. Let's just say he and Gilmour are not real close.

[@neilbarrington5217]

i might be wrong but did they fall out something to do with this song

[@MartyHagwood]

Guy Pratt is a trillion times better bass player than that psychopath who played bass before him.

[@marioc.3102]

Yes, Guy Pratt is certainly a better bass player, but he is not a genius like the one who played bass before him and without whom Pink Floyd would never have become the legend they are

[@hognaut]

Psychopath, WTF
