REACTION: pink floyd - comfortably numb LIVE pulse concert 1994

[@coot1925]

I'm a 60 year old brit who grew up with Floyd. I was at this gig & don't mind admitting that I cried most of the way through. The whole experience of the sound, the lights & the atmosphere is overwhelming.

[@MarkSmith-wl2dr]

I was at the Detroit concert. Agree completely!!

[@murdoch691]

Me to I'm 57 you old git lol

[@coot1925]

Yep, us old gits are a dying breed dude, especially when you hear the kind of shit they call music these days. All they want to talk about is gangster shit....thank you America for importing more of your warped junk to warp our kids minds. Now they think it's cool to walk around with their undercrackers on display and think that makes them tough. What a disgrace to humanity.

[@taradevine6026]

Was at this tour as well. It was INCREDIBLE

OMG I'm so jealous. I've never gotten to c them.I would have luv to have been there!!

[@srt8rocketship241]

Pink Floyd can make anyone with a good soul have watery eyes.

[@VegasYouTuberSteve]

Well said 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Richard.Pompey]

Yes, well said. And we should not worry about it happening. It is one of many natural human functions. I would say that Ari has a very kind heart.

[@williamwilkes9873]

I saw Floyd live/free, thousands did.....Hyde park, London.........& every name English, European, & American band........it was a rite of passage.........l think miss, you should have been born earlier..........difficult for all your family..........odd scenario, though.........'bye........London half ten pm.......

[@metubenoggin07]

Ari, I've been a Floyd fan since I was younger than you, about a zillion years ago. I was always impacted by their music and lyrics, often in a way I couldn't describe. Like you, I've been thrown into emotional states I didn't see coming from the music (Time and Comfortably Numb, especially). Among the MANY similar reviews I've seen on KZbin, you demonstrated a deeper, more profound understanding of the music than many people I'm guessing are *twice* your age. You are wise, intelligent and insightful beyond your years. Kudos!

[@guywillis1281]

That emotion you felt is what so many of us have felt. You're made for this because this music speaks to you on a much deeper level. You definitely need to take a deep dive into them. You will love yourself for it .

[@Pomdownuder]

Pink Floyd concerts were a mind altering, life changing experience . It's so nice to see a young lady appreciate our old fogey music

[@PixelVibe-RGB]

This tour played to 5.5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average 45,000 audience. And I was one of them. I attended this concert two consecutive evenings at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, May 23 and 24, 1994. At the end, while leaving the stadium, the gaze of the spectators said a lot about what they had just witnessed. Everyone seemed "Comfortably Numb".

[@funkydung.]

have both those shows come check it out

[@basilhsgalanis8838]

Wow my friend just wow. You are there and feel the best concert in history of music... I hear from some of people who watching that at the end nobody speak, just look one to another and try understand what they see. Historic moment and you are there. WHAT A MEMORY

[@MarkSmith-wl2dr]

I saw it in Detroit with 75,000 others. Best ckncert ever!!!

@@MarkSmith-wl2dr saw in Toronto first two nights BEST Concerts ever

[@PixelVibe-RGB]

@@funkydung. Nice collection of shows on your page. During the tour (In the Flesh 1977), Roger Waters got into the habit of shouting a number during "Pigs (3 different ONES)". These numbers have never been explained by Waters, but we guess a semblance of numbering, in order to identify the pirated copies.

[@jodyirvin3156]

Live is always best. Truest representation of their talent.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

This song is a bit of an oxymoron. Lyrically its very depressing, but Gilmore's guitar solo instantly cures the listener of any depressive feelings whatsoever. It can and does make one cry, but they are always tears of heavenly joy! Every Psychiatrist and Psychologist should prescribe Comfortably Numb to their patients.

[@WonderGeology]

Saw them 1994 in Indianapolis. Oh my what a great performance! You have no idea how great it was! I still cry! They are known for their lights shows going back to when they first formed.

[@deanfranklin4054]

Pink Floyd made the show for the fans. They had an unlimited budget for the stage show. Saw this tour, 4th row seats. A bucket list item. Great reaction.

[@markkettlewell7441]

I feel like crying every time I watch this song. I am 55 years old and this song is so amazing. I have been a PF fan for 35 years and they never get old. So cry and rejoice in a truly amazing band. There are very few bands that come close to PF today 😀

[@rodciferri9626]

The "Pulse" show was just one stop on the worldwide "Division Bell" tour Pink Floyd did in 1994. I saw one of the shows - it was exactly like this - phenomenal!

[@VegasYouTuberSteve]

They came to Tampa stadium in the mid 90's. 60,000 people and the stadium was shaking.. Outstanding sound and lights.. 👍😎

[@pauldocmusic2411]

Regarded as the best live solo ever by most respected music and guitar magazines. The whole concert is stunning , with Dark Side of the Moon playing in its entirety also Cool reaction

[@kentaylor2416]

Pink Floyd is my favourite band, but "best live solo ever" is a big call. Have you seen The Song Remains The Same?

[@pauldocmusic2411]

@@kentaylor2416 agreed that is an epic solo , had the pleasure of seeing Page and Plant on The Unledded Tour. Music is subjective, but a lot of the main music magazines etc usually have Comfortably Numb and Stairway to Heaven 1 and 2. Suppose it depends on what you are looking for in a solo , I like the sheer emotion in every note. Other people will argue for Sultans of Swing, Hotel California, Freebird, Eruption , All Along the Watchtower , etc etc

[@kentaylor2416]

@@pauldocmusic2411 you make sense. There's no scientific way to measure the greatness of a guitar solo, but personally, I rate the solo on Time above the solo on Comfortably Numb, and I rate Page above Gilmore, even though Floyd is my favourite band and Zep my second fave.

[@pauldocmusic2411]

@@kentaylor2416 I'm the same mate , fave bands are Floyd, Led Zepp then The Doors. And even though Gilmour is my favourite guitarist I agree Page is better all round. I have both in the top 10 ever.

[@vernonsmith6965]

Pink Floyd are an experience they take you on a journey into an ethereal world and the more you list the more it's etched into your brain

[@yesorlando05]

Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend at the time and I loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I cannot describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. Our 4 adult children (28-33) love 70’s/80’s music just as we do. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.

"On the Turning Away" live will stir your emotions as well...another moving Gilmour guitar performance.

[@royrocker9004]

Pink Floyd is an incredible band. One unwritten rule when listening to them is headphones highly recommended.. You checked that box. The most important unwritten rule is to Never pause a David Gilmore solo.. on that one, you failed, but you almost made it. Nice reaction tho..

[@chrisbree3467]

Welcome to Pink Floyd, I’m 67 years old & I cry every time I watch this. I’m always thankful that I I lived to experience this.

[@cr10001]

The entire concert, the lights were co-ordinated with the music. Pink Floyd were famous for their light shows (along with their music of course), and I think this was their best. I don't think it's ever been beaten.

[@randyobrien2836]

Pink Floyd is well known for their light shows. Can you imagine being there? I've been listening to them from the beginning.

[@funkydung.]

its one of the best shows ever to see live 28 years later and people are still talking about it read some comments of some of the shows on youtube

[@basilhsgalanis8838]

This is the greatest guitar solo live ever from the best concert in history of music. David Gilmore have different tone he don't need speed. Every note is a piece of his heart. 200 years from now people speak about pink Floyd the same way speaking for Mozart and Picasso.

[@greg2976]

Exactly! Speed was not his thing. But how he made the guitar reach your soul was incredible!

Was at that performance at Earls Court London. The whole concert was the experience of a lifetime, and a lifetime is how long I have loved Pink Floyd from first seeing 3 of their live shows in 1969. Their music still brings this 75 year old to tears. My regret is that I haven't been able to get to see Dave Gilmour's 2024 tour just ended in New York. He is still playing Comfortably Numb at 78 and it is still amazing.

Gilmour does another extended guitar version of this 22 years later (2016) on his solo tour "Live At Pompeii", also on YT. And another one, with an orchestra, on "Live In Gdańsk" from 2008.

[@ginjamutha]

I love the Pompeii version soooo much ❤️

[@ginjamutha]

Have you seen the Royal Albert Hall concert? That version of High Hopes with the extended acoustic solo made me weep when I first heard it

[@fkhdls]

The lighting scheme was designed by Marc Brickman and built by Mark Fisher. It required 700 tons of steel and 33 trucks to transport it. It took 3 days to set up and 2 days to take down so there were 3 complete versions of it that leapfrogged each other from city to city as the tour progressed.

Great reaction!! It was an amazing experience to see live. Saw them live on this Pulse tour at the Alamodome in San Antonio in 1994. There were 47,000 fans, and I had 18th row seats on the floor. When that mirror ball was lit up, it was above and behind me. So i had the band in front, the mirror ball behind, and it was a total submersive event!! Had also seen them in 1987 in Austin, and this was truly an experience of a lifetime!!!

[@chuckweger5445]

Oh my God. I watched this reaction twice today. The second time was with you. I have many people react to this. Yours was the best reaction I have ever seen. It was the first time I saw you. I instantly subscribed. I saw this concert 4 times. You are the only one that experienced it the way I did. I was halfway back. When the lights went bright, you could feel the heat. When the mirror ball was illuminated it was if the sun was present. I don't do patreon but if you want a suggestion, that was the next to last song. Try run like hell from the same concert. It's a true pleasure meeting you!

[@rafaelorantes7185]

Wish You Were Here, from this same concert, excellent also!

[@peggybrown9694]

Probably the best guitar solo of all time. Epic. David never had to shred. Every note hit you like it just had to be there. Like it was sent from above. The most melodic, passionate solos ever. The only thing better is Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

[@Richard.Pompey]

Love seeing your reaction to this. I was at this concert and it was an amazing experience. For me, Dave Gilmore can produce a sound like no other. He seems to be able to reach inside your soul and bring out your feelings and emotions. It affects everyone in a different way. Has an amazing gift and i am so grateful that he and many other artists were around at the time for me to enjoy. Stay safe and keep enjoying being you x

[@vicprovost2561]

Oh my God, I was at that 1994 tour in Foxboro, MA and believe me, I have seen plenty of Floyd fans in tears at their shows and I still get very emotional listening to their music since Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun back in the late 60s. Seeing or just listening to Pink Floyd has always been a religious experience for their fans and they have so much for you to discover. Next for some more live stuff, but from their younger days, try Echoes, Live at Pompeii in 1973. The video is in 2 parts because it originally opened and closed the documentary about their show in the ancient amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy. That song will take you on a trip as powerful as what you just saw but in a different way but it is a banger and utter classic. That song closed many a party I was at in the 70s. Thanks again for doing these awesome, classic bands, wait until you start discovering the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the WHO, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, etc.Lucky You and all of us for seeing old music become new again and seeing how timeless that era of music really was and is. Take care and Rock On! 🎵

I attended about half a dozen of the Earl's Court concerts, having been to the Wembley Stadium and London Docklands Arena gigs on the earlier tour.

Such a delight seeing younger people appreciate great music. No auto tune, no tracking, just pure live talent. The back story is when he was younger he was sick. Fast forward, while doing a show in Philly, he was sick and the Dr. gave him medicine, not drugs, to get thru the show...

[@ikshields]

The word you’re looking for is “sublime”. These sounds and imagery are subliminal, beyond the conscious, aimed straight at the part of the brain that makes dreams, remembers all the way back to primal energy, and sees the entire universe’s secrets revealed, just as easily as it craves chocolate. No band ever hit that target more punctually than Pink Floyd. 🥰

[@kivainc12]

I’m 70 and remember when this album came out way back in 1973. More times than I can remember firing up a joint or bong and either cranking up the speakers or headphones and getting lost in the music. Fondest of memories! Had great seats in Vancouver BC for the Pulse tour concert. As someone who has been blessed seeing 35+ major concerts this was the best. Early PF was very different. This was their 8th studio album.

The greatest single musical performance in history with the greatest guitar solo in history (from Comfortably Numb) in one concert. There can be no question that this concert literally changed the lives of all in attendance for the better. "How I wish I were there...." If you like epic guitar solos and the best songs that Pink Floyd has to offer, well, now that you've heard the best song on their album "The Wall", you must now hear the best song on their greatest album, "The Dark Side of the Moon". That song is called "TIME" and has the greatest intro that I've ever heard along with the best studio album solo in Pink Floyd's library.
