Reaction to the greatest guitar solo (Pink Floyd live)

[@darylabbott2032]

Thank you young man for not pausing. Saw him in 94 at Clemson Stadium best show ever live!

[@Frank-pe9pk]

David Gilmore is by far my favorite guitarist in my 60+ years. He’s not the fastest but the soul he creates from his solos can’t be matched. Thru the 70’s I saw most all of the great bands of the time.👍

[@JamesSavik]

This is one of those songs that really speaks to addicts in recovery. In the song some asks "Can to tell me where it hurts?" It is understanding that the emptiness inside is a pain of the soul that is for many addicts the realization that is the first step to recovery.

[@garylarue3899]

Gilmour is one of those rare guitarists that can wring one helluva jolt of emotion from his instrument. Never get tired of this vid.

[@robinreiley1828]

In '94, before starting the stage build for Woodstock 94 at the Winston Farm in Saugerties NY, I was fortunate to build this stage at both Yankee and Giant's Stadium. For the Giant's shows, I ran a follow spot light during the performance. When we received the "Go" cue to bump on the mirror ball, the crowd went CRAZY! I still get chills, 27 years later. The sound quality was incredible with speaker towers built all the way around the top rim of the Stadium, a 300+ foot Surround Sound Experience!

Oh man....my first was The Wall in 1980, Nassau, then the last 2 tours. Never thought I'd see Dark Side live. Dark Side was my first exposure to them when I was 9 back in 73. I pretty well lost it when I realized they were playing it in full during the PULSE tour.

[@MetteC5]

To me, Gilmour is, without any doubt whatsoever, THE best guitarist: he speaks (to my) soul in a way I've never encountered with anyone else. Thank you for your reaction, Dicon, that got me really emotional: Comfortably Numb already gets me emotional and your understated, authentic reaction - a refreshing contrast to all the overstated, fake reactions on KZbin - reinforced that emotion. You of course got a new subscriber ;)

[@alanpeterson4939]

The entire Pulse concert is like that.

[@showmoke]

Daniel - this is the one. This is the song/video that we have all been waiting for you to do. About flipping’ time if you ask me!

[@Erfedwe]

Having the amazing good fortune to see them 5 times on the Pulse tour, it was clear, even in the moment, that this performance, which was note perfect each night, was something special and beyond what had been done before. I had seen PF on previous tours, and this was certainly a performance without equal. i have been to over 150 concerts and many were phenomenal, but nothing quite matches the Pulse concert in general or David's guitar solo on Comfortable Numb. It stands alone.

[@Erfedwe]

Additional thoughts. This was recorded in 1994. To date, this is still the single most impressive light show I have seen at any concert (the concert as a whole, not just this song). Almost 30 years later and nobody has improved upon a Pink Floyd light show. The same can be said for the sound quality. It is the cleanest sound I have heard at any concert. The band is so precise and everything is so well tuned and coordinated. I have heard louder bands to be sure, but nothing that sounds as good or as consistent.

[@squaaaaak3178]

I agree that the sound and the guitar is fantastic and David's voice, but some of these songs really miss Roger Waters.

[@Erfedwe]

@@squaaaaak3178 there is absolutely no doubt that Roger is missed. I saw him about 7 times on his solo tours and I saw PF without Roger about 8 times. I never saw David and Roger on the same stage. :(

@@Erfedwe I have the Pulse DVD, and I treasure it! Watching this concert (esp. this song) on a big TV, hearing the sound through a really good system in a room with great acoustics, is something I enjoy doing a couple or 3 times a year!

[@rmyikzelf5604]

It wasn't pitch perfect every night, find the uncut version where David slightly loses it for about 30 seconds to a minute (possibly due to a string breaking) and then recovers.

[@ianbrooke6342]

I was at this concert too, not on the recording night but the one after which was just as good. Although the whole show was just amazing the thing I remember most vividly was when the mirror ball lit up, the ball was rotating and the entire hall lit up with thousand and thousands of small moving lights, all the walls, ceiling, people, everything, it was just magical. We didn't expect it either because the ball was hidden and then uncovered while everyone was watching the on-stage effects and the ceiling was dark. You can't get a complete idea of how good the show was from these videos, you can see it all, hear it all but you can't feel it, the tremendous heat from the fireworks, the volume of the music which went right through you. I looked around and people were just sat as if mesmerized, mouths open trying to take it all in. By far the greatest concert I've ever been to.

[@MissAstorDancer]

OMG! Fantastic description of what had to have been a true peak experience for you! I got chills and goosebumps just reading it!

I've been privileged to have seen them four times in three different decades! I saw them in 74 for their "Dark Side of the Moon" tour which was phenomenal say the least!! So what I still think was the best concert they've ever done was performed in 1977 for their "In The Flesh" tour when Rodger Waters was still with them! For that show they played all of "Animals" followed by all of "Wish You Were Here" and half of "Dark Side Of the Moon" for their encore!! Then I saw them in 87 for the "Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour and this 94 "Pulse tour"! I've seen probably 100 concerts in my life from AC DC to Zeppelin and everyone in between alphabetically and though some of those shows had incredible music I've never seen a better show than any of the live Pink Floyd shows!! The lights the sound in the music were always perfect at those Floyd shows!!

[@ednoponen2943]

"Now that's a performance", indeed. My God, that was stunning! I've never seen that video, and I think you for bringing it. Simply beautiful. (Quick story . . Like many, I recall exactly where I was when I first heard The Wall. White-knuckling it back from an ice-fishing excursion to Lake Mille Lacs, a couple of hours north of the Twin Cities. I was on Highway 35 and in a blizzard. A total white-out. Could hardly see where I was driving. My friend Jack says, "Oh Geez, I forgot I brought the new Pink Floyd CD." In response to out derisive mumbling -- how could he have forgot THAT? He put it in the player and it blew us away. Hung over from a near lethal alcohol and drugs binge, my friends and I lost it . . . in a good way. I pulled off the road, turned on the flashers and we just settled in to drift along with the snow. Unforgettable!)

[@firebird7479]

First off, RIP keyboardist Rick Wright. 2nd...I highly, HIGHLY recommend you look up the websites of 2 Pink Floyd tribute bands -- Brit Floyd and Aussie Floyd, to see if they are touring and if they are and coming to Atlanta --- GO SEE THEM! Both are recommended by members of Pink Floyd themselves. They do a remarkable job in not only performing the music, but also recreating the light and stage production of the real Pink Floyd. They usually announce their appearances in the areas they are coming to do by being part of the local PBS pledge drive a month or so before they are set to appear in town. It will be well worth the time and effort. I am sure there are videos on You Tube. Great interpretations of the original music.

[@jc296x]

Can second this. I was able to see them before the Aussie Floyd show broke up into the two bands (Aussie and Brit) and I've seen each since. Out of many many shows I've seen in my lifetime they (a tribute band) are in my top 10 concert experiences.

My first concert was when I was 12, a month from turning 13. It was Pink Floyd at Madison Square Garden on July 4, 1977. As if seeing Pink Floyd wasn’t enough of an experience, there was a whole 4th of July party atmosphere in the city. I remember everything about that show, it was almost too much for the ears and eyes to handle. It’s a miracle I remember any of it because the pot smoke was like a smog alert.

You mentioned a choir Daniel - they didn't have that, but the Pulse tour did have three wonderful female backing singers and on 'Comfortably Numb' the support largely came from Sam Brown.

[@avanoosterhout8397]

When it comes to pop/rock music, there is nothing like a live concert. A true musician will rise to the occasion when they're playing live. And it doesn't matter if it's Pink Floyd in a massive arena, some band you don't really know much about at a festival or some local kids performing in a bar for the first time. I usually will visit something like 8 to 12 live shows a year. In venues that will hold anything between 100 and 60,000 people. I can quite easily adapt to the new circumstances the pandemic throws at us, but if there's one thing I really miss these days, it's live concerts. As for Pink Floyd. I've only seen them live twice. In 1980 they were my first major concert (The Wall) at the age of 17. I revisited the band in 1989, when Roger Waters had already left the band. To make up for that I went to see Roger Water's live rendition of The Wall in 2013. None of the concerts were a let down in any way.

[@davidbowman6740]

Hi, really enjoy your reactions. You clearly have a great feel for music and a love for guitar solos. I’m not one for ranking music, as it’s all about taste but Dave Gilmore is a wonderful guitarist, for sure. Worth checking out two other astonishing solos. Jimi Hendrix doing “Machine Gun”, live at Fillmore East. This was Jimi’s attempt to express the chaos and fear experienced by soldiers in the Vietnam War, through the strings of his guitar. The great Miles Davies, who was present, described this as “not just the greatest guitar solo but the greatest solo in any genre, ever”. The other is Peter Green, of the original Fleetwoood Mac band, doing “Got a Good Mind to Give up Living” live. You can hear the pain in every phrase and his delicacy and tone are unparalleled. BB King, who knew a bit about the blues, said “Peter Green was the only guitarist to make me sweat. He had the sweetest tone I ever heard”. Both worth a listen 😎

Still, this guitar solo by the other-worldly Gilmore, is the best of the best. I cannot listen to this song without getting goosebumps and it's multiplied in this particular performance.

Saw them on their Animals tour at the old Cleveland before they tore it down. It was a circular stadium. An of course it was at night with a rainy mist in the air which added to the atmosphere. Bet concert I've ever been to.

Having been going to live concerts from early Stones/Hendrix/PF right through to Oasis; this was the best of them all. Lucky to go 6 times to the Earls Court gigs, having been to Wembley and Dockland a few years early for the DSOT leg of the tour.

"...you don't pause during a David Gilmour solo." Thank you! Finally, a reactor who actually gets it!!!

[@greg2976]

One or the greatest guitar solo/effects of all time. Can't imagine seeing that after a few dobies!

[@Yosef1952]

Fantastic version. (You have really good taste.) Have you seen the Pink Floyd reunion video, the last time all 4 of them played together? It was extremely powerful for someone like me, who's been a Floyd-head all his adult life. Thanks for posting this.

I saw them live once. Everyone I know who was there said the concert was incredible, but they had such a contact high they couldn't remember much clearly. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this. You looked like I felt when I heard this live.

Thanks for experiencing this great musical moment of the greatest guitar solo ever. This is one of at five great CN solos, Gdańsk with an orchestra, Pompeii, Knebworth in the rain in ‘88, etc. I saw in Live in ‘89 at Veterans Stadium in Philly. Best concert ever among hundreds of live acts seen in my 60+ years.

I was lucky enough to catch that tour when they came to British Columbia. I was about your age...probably. It was my introduction to this amazing band.

"The lights are really good" .....I am thinking JUST WAIT! 😊

[@kevincarroll8952]

I was lucky enough to see them three times including the Pulse Tour!! There is nothing you can compare them to, they were in a class of their own!! For me they are the GOAT!

[@Nick-pg9iy]

I was at one of those Earls Court shows, never been equalled, it was epic.

[@dukeravenshadow5532]

My fav song by them....selfishly because of the guitar. Such depth

[@erikholmstrom676]

Pink Floyd , Gothenburg , Sweden , 1994....Still the most amazing show I been too...

[@pierrevaillancourt1803]

Was fortunate enough to see Pulse in Toronto

[@TheRatsCast]

You looked surprised a the chorus. I wrote this before; if you either didn't read it or forgot. But Gilmore singers the chorus as Pink; while Waters did the main vocals of the doctor. This is why this song for me will never be performed perfectly without both.

[@ImaDogTrainer]

I saw PF a few years before this performance, but basically the same show. Just incredible! AND this emotional rock out was not the finale! They ended with Run Like Hell when I saw them. I walked out like I had been taken to the Pink Floyd Universe and now was dropped off back at earth.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

I was at the equivalent of that show.I saw them on that tour at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx NYC

[@LeviAWilson]

The thing about it is that when "The Wall" first came out, Pink Floyd because of the massiveness of the stage performance they only toured it in 4 places. I heard you say that you would had liked to have seen the Wall tour. On that tour they played two places here in the states which were Los Angeles and New York. And even in their own country of England they only played London. Then they played Dortmund and West Germany. And it does sound like a choir when you hear women singing, but he only has 3 female singers behind him. At one time they did hold the Guinnis Worlds record for best stage light show. But the chart topper that kills me is The Dark Side of The Moon album. It was on the Billboard music chart longer then anyother album in history. And I don't think anybody will every break it. It was on the Billboard Top 200 Chart for 959 weeks! That's incredible! That would come to 220.6 months which would be 18.6 years! Now that's just crazy!

David rips his heart and soul, serves it directly to ours, deeply out of deepness and leaves us rethinking our existence. This is how the music is supposed to speak to us.
