When the first solo hits, Silas said "Thanks for the solo" then Gilmour, said, "hold my beer" and process with solo #2 ;) Btw, If you want to really enjoy what is a solo on this song is, check Pulse version!

[@mysterychuck]

I think we're all waiting for him to finish the album so he can watch that. He's going to freak.

[@luismiguelmarques1]

"PULSE" CONCERT IS HISTORICAL. BECAUSE OF MUSIC, FIRST, AND BECAUSE OF THE INTEGRATED LASERS, THEY SOMEHOW SINC WITH THE CORDS-NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT SINCETHEN...A SHOW IN THE SHOW!

[@christopherberger7263]

The fact that you recognize that your young and have so much more to learn is an amazing quality to have at a young age. Don't ever forget that.

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

The second solo you just hear and feel the pain that Gilmour is transferring to the listener of the song one of the best solos ever recorded. He is making that guitar cry.

[@isabelledrevet5913]

Every Pink Floyd album is a journey, but it's also a real journey we have watching you reacting to this album, especially on Comfortably Numb track... It's so rare to find a teenager so mature... Thanks and love from France 🇫🇷😘

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Comfortably Numb is about a musician who didn't feel well enough to perform so the doctor gave him a shot to make him feel better. btw Silas, you really should watch Comfortably Numb at Pulse show, 1994.

[@Gekokujo76]

Which really puts the line "when I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse...out of the corner of my eye....I turned to look but it was gone....I can not put my finger on it now...the child is grown, the dream is gone" into perspective. This isnt some homeless junkie with these thoughts, it is meant to be the inner thoughts of a successful musician. It definitely hits different with that in mind.

[@ursgeiser6570]

Yes I'm old, but I don't agree at all. Comfortable Numb belongs to my favors.- I couldn't resitent to wait till Silas perhaps react to PULSE. Take the voices: in the first part - lead by Rick with two others - but also David part are so dragging and also the guitar solo too ground not so raw, perhaps too overproduced, hard said: typical Sir Gilmour. Yes high guitars quality and thank god don't hide a guitar at the end: yes David was totally in its guitar element. But I prefere the studio version. I'm promise that I'm will discover Pulse in peace and quiet before I form an overall judgement. Silas: Comfortable Numb is so phenomenal and stands out so much because of the variety of such different good songs as Mother, Hey You, Young Lust, Run Like Hell ........ what makes a masterpiece: diversity,

[@mikemclaughlin3306]

Lol.... it's specifically about a show in Philadelphia in 1977

[@nodarkside]

Pulse is amazing🖖

[@Vexelpops1]

yes and not just to make him feel better but to get him good enough to perform, because money is more important than health

[@retiredfirelt586]

"The child is grown, the dream is gone." hit me harder just now than it ever has. Man, it sucks to be old. 😎

[@Cheesesteak70-d1v]

Yes but did you notice how you appreciate the music more. It just astonishes me if these men were in their 20s and 30s when they wrote this they were literally years ahead of their time

[@showmoke]

Probably the most profound and moving lyrics that Pink Floyd ever wrote! Also very moving are Roger’s lyrics from ‘Echoes’ from their ‘Meddle’ album - ‘Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me’. To me that sums up the ‘empathy’ message to all mankind that perpetuates throughout a lot of Pink Floyd’s music.

[@floydianepic3259]

Agree closely Followed by this Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am

[@65alef]

Wonderful reaction young man 😘...but please never NEVER NEVER NEVER STOP A DAVID GILMOUR 'S GUITAR SOLO!😎

[@flubblert]

When you finish with this album, you must go to the live Pulse version of "Comfortably Numb" filmed in 1994 on Pink Floyd's last World tour. Try to resist the urge to stop the solo as it goes on for a while. Just let it go. You will be transcended!! 🔆

[@79BlackRose]

If you do not pause and comment every couple of minutes, KZbin will block it. So he has to do what he has to do otherwise we will see nothing.

[@flubblert]

@@79BlackRose Not true! Have seen it reacted to maybe 100 times on here with no pauses and no problems. The ones that do have the occasional problem are usually outside the US.

@@flubblert OK, we will see. He has had trouble with his videos being blocked already.

[@79BlackRose]

@@pmbbmp Not true IMO.

[@flubblert]

@@79BlackRose I do believe the trouble is coming more from his trying to post up an entire album side rather than just one song. Though some have had trouble, most Floyd material gets through pretty easily, a song or two at a time. I've seen people post up the entire 23 minute "Echoes" uninterrupted with no problem.

[@chrishoff5291]

Guys...yes we all know every single note and every nuance and feeling of every moment of every song but this is his channel and can react as he sees fit...realize that his mind is being blown by this masterpiece and may need a moment to process what he is hearing....as far as pausing when the good parts are coming, how does he know there’s a good part coming if he has never heard the music? I’m sure he will listen to this album thousands of times throughout the rest of his life as we have and not worry about copyright and I’m sure everyone listening and complaining has the album/CD or download and can listen to it in its entirety anytime we want.

[@an.american]

You really have to watch the movie "The Wall", by Pink Floyd. It will explain a lot.

[@showmoke]

‘Comfortably Numb’ - in my view and millions of others as well, is considered to be the best song ever written!

[@dougrumsey4288]

Comfortably Numb Live Pulse concert is now required listening for you .

[@flubblert]

Vera Lynn sang songs that brought hope to the troops in the UK during the second World War. One of her most iconic songs was "We'll Meet Again (some sunny day)". Here Roger asks "remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day". He's referring to his father who never returned home from the war. Feels betrayed by the song. In "Bring the Boys Back Home" that follows, that's not an opera singer singing with the choir LOL, it's Roger Waters!! Again, this album is very much autobiographical to him, so he's really feeling some of these songs. This is a rock *opera* in its truest sense. "Don't leave the children on their own, no no... Bring the boys back home"

[@79BlackRose]

Silas has a good ear. It is, in fact, the New York Opera Choir.

[@flubblert]

@@79BlackRose unlike so many others here, I'm not a huge fan of the movie. However the movie version of "Bring the Boys Back Home" is awe inspiring and goose bumpy. 🥺

[@ImadSul12]

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

[@hippydippydude8895]

Can't wait till ya go back to their Meddle album.. especially with their 23 min long epic Echoes.. You will be blown away and taken to another dimension lol.

[@kevgardiner4852]

Yes I agree Echoes is a must Silas exceptional 👍💪

[@jackver2006]

Comfortably Numb is a great song, you have to watch Roger Water’s live performance of that song from The Wall Revival tour from 2010-2013, the projections that they use on the wall during the solo goes along well with the song and makes the song complete.

[@deannajones3849]

My two favorite bands Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd! You have reacted to both extensively! I love it!

[@markhodge7]

If you continue listening to the iconic bands of the late 60's and through the 70's you will go down a rabbit hole that there is no coming out of. Every generation grows up with their own popular music of their time, and I'm sure will attach to it for the rest of their lives, however this period saw bands experimenting with the music, sometimes very complicated, and putting a lot of thought into their lyrics. Floyd, Yes, Genesis. None of them sounded like the others yet all 3 seemed to catch onto areas of music that hadn't been explored before at all. Zeppelin & Jethro Tull. Supertramp & Styx. Alan Parsons Project & David Bowie. There were so many different sounding bands. All so extremely talented and creative. I always listen to new music. And there have been absolute gems in the past 40 or more years, but the body of work that came out during the classic era that Pink Floyd was most productive is absolutely unparalleled. Enjoy the ride kid. We're still on it!!

[@fpl_mccolby]

The guitar solo at the end of Comfortably Numb has been named the best guitar solo of all time multiple times. It's powerful and beautiful.

[@kellydelay18]

Got to do some live stuff from the pulse concert love your channel really great reactions

[@rosuobs3972]

Yeh, you have to watch 'PULSE', their live concert, its absolutley fantastic, all songs were brilliant all night, what a show to be at

[@stevesilsby9668]

In "Comfortably Numb" notice how that first guitar solo section sounds so overwhelmingly sad, but the second one, playing just about the same notes, sounds absolutely evil. Rather than just noting great riffs, notes or choruses of patriotic sounding music, concentrate on experiencing how Pink Floyd's music makes you FEEL. We see it in your physical reactions while it's playing. Contemplate it for a moment and then try to put those feelings into words. As an audience we get off on reliving through YOUR first experiences, OUR OWN first experiences hearing this amazing music. It's stunning just how visceral it can be! Keep on going through Pink Floyd's albums. It's a wonderful trip.

[@danieleciprari9041]

I love how you phisically enjoy music. I bet their music will be part of you for the rest of your life, and even in many years, when you'll listen to their songs for the thousandth time, you'll phisically and mentally take the same delight

[@giggling_boatswain]

Vera Lynn is an English singer, Dame of the Order of the British Empire (Officer, OBE, 1949, Dame Commander, DBE, 1975), who had huge popularity during the Second World War, when she hosted the BBC radio program "Sincerely Yours", addressed to British military personnel for abroad.

[@79BlackRose]

Silas, I love your content and your reactions to this legendary album are really, really cool man! 😎 Pink Floyd albums from the 1970s are awesome. Before and after that they are more patchy. It was a glorious time to be alive. But we can all still enjoy that magic decades later. So, don't worry about being young. You will find these masterpieces age well, like a fine wine or whisky. Have a great week!

[@jeremygray1331]

When I saw the Wall live in 1980 there was, of course, no social media and we had no idea what to expect from the show (sadly we have nowadays often lost the magic of being surprised). Anyway, when this song played and the spotlight shone on Gilmour playing the solo ON TOP OF THE WALL the entire audience had one of the great moments of their lives.

[@crazexskater]

Pulse live... Best solo... EVER!!! PLEASE REACT TO THIS!!!

[@xlerb_again_to_music7908]

Vera Lynn's 1939 "We'll Meet Again" was an emotional sticking plaster for Gt. Britain and the separated families and troops, numbing, smothering and comforting wounds with a promise of hope. Perhaps someone was lost at sea, was travelling to other lands to fight, was moved for years to another part of the country. All hated the war; all wanted home. No-where was safe; everywhere was the front line. The years after the end of the war ('45) didn't seem much better - the country was bankrupt, food rationing got worse (till '53); the Empire had imploded. Soot and cold despair ruled all. Hope turned to bland ashes and people wondered if England had really won. There was a second major hole in the male population. Women born mid 1920's suffered cruelly as they found the men who might have been husbands were now heroes buried in some far off field (a fate for millions of women across all of Europe. See Beatles "Eleanor Rigby" for the story of one such - I met many women condemned to spinsterhood as a child; the men were dead). But all knew it was worth it; the horror of the Nazis was gone. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. Neal Diamond didn't know any of this. At a UK gig (some time around 1980?) he finished up with "We'll Meet Again" - and was astonished by the reaction. Feelings sat on for 40 years flooded out, a release - the audience were sobbing, singing along and dropped into some sort of agitation he didn't get. They would not leave. So Neal's encore was "We'll Meet Again" - to rapturous applause and singing. I saw that performance on TV... can't find it on YT tho.

[@dougwill8850]

First listened to this in 1979 in 8th grade and to this day I never tire of this particular track on the album. It's timeless.

[@TJinMO]

Hi Silas!! Been watching you for awhile. Love seeing you feel the music. You should read up on a condition called synesthesia. I have visual synesthesia. When I see violence in a movie I actually feel the image in my body. I have a friend with different type. She's a musician. She sees different colors associated with different tones and noises. Can you imagine seeing the colors with this???? Mind blowing!

[@angelrdiaz4755]

That's why this album was such a mind blowing pure fire but yet so Blissful experience of a life time 😀 And it has never stopped it just gets greater and greater with every listener and every .oment in time 😀 Forever Infinite TIMELESS Piece Of Perfect Pure Art 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃🙂🙃

I was about your age when this album came out. It never occurred to me to think about the meaning of the songs, it was just great songs. Then the movie came out, and suddenly, it was all different. This album and movie are a piece of art that may never be replicated. When you are my age, you will see that it is the high water mark of rock music. And you can congratulate yourself that you followed your own path to find it.

Silas, if it hasn't been mentioned, yet, the Wall the movie puts the characters of this Rock Opera on the screen and helps a great deal in understanding the contextual questions you've been asking. It's great fun watching you discover this album for the first time and this chapter came out 12 hours ago. Pretty rare that I catch interesting channels when they happen. Keep it up. You're having fun and taking a journey many of us can totally identify with

[@biglos9d]

Vera Lynn sings "We'll Meet Again" at the end of Dr. Strangelove; if you haven't seen it, it's a classic. It's also at the very very beginning of the movie "The Wall."

I hope you plan to react to the movie next! You'll love it and you'll gain a greater understanding of the intent behind the story.

[@sophiapangloss2149]

I went to see the UK premiere of the movie of The Wall, it came out a year or two after the album, which I hadn't heard, so the movie was my first listen, it had me in tears in the cinema 3 times, I don't think that happened with any other movie. Once was in the concert scene (this was one year before I came out as gay, and it hit hard), then Bring The Boys Back Home, it still upsets me to this day, and of course I wept like a dam breaking at the end...

[@michaelyork4554]

When you get to see the Limo Scene in The Movie, during the guitar solo, Your jaw will drop all over again. The Trial will bring clarity. "Good Morning Worm Your Honor" The Trial in The Movie will really bring clarity. He Judges Himself, In Absurdity. You should watch The Movie together with Your Girlfriend. You will get to hear. "When The Tigers Broke Free", and absorb all the symbolism. You need to understand though that the Mind Control aspect of Musical Artists, and Cult Movements/Dictatorships is paralleled by Roger, as indicative of anything that people blindly follow, and give their power, and will to. He is mocking himself, and humanity in this composition.

[@fishpierce7851]

Don’t sell yourself short on how meaningful the songs are to you now vs when you’re 50. Pink Floyd transcends many things, including age. I was about your age when the album was first released and I understood them as much as I did then. They only difference is a now I have experiences to go with the understanding. Also, many thanks.

Seeing the effect DG’s guitar work has on you, you’re definitely going to be shattered when you hear the definitive version. Keep in mind too that any live Pink Floyd performance takes every song to another level you haven’t experienced yet and can’t imagine. Can’t wait to see your reaction.

Rodger Waters always denied that Comfortably Numb was about drugs, and said it was about the fever he had as a child that nearly killed him.

[@gypsysteve3576]

Fantastic Silas. Really enjpying your reactions. Please React to Pink Floyds album DIVISION BELL next. You will love it. Absolutely in my top 3 favourite Floyd albums. Ive owned Every album by Pink Floyd, including both David Gilmours solo albums and Roger Waters solo albums. The earliest Syd Barrett years get pretty weird and i rarely listen to that era as i dont find it enjoyable listening, except for a handful of songs from the Syd years with i made a mix tape (playlist) out of. But i stand by the top 7 albums being ... Animals. Wish. Division Bell. Dark Side. Meddle. On an Island (David). Pros and Cons of Hitchiking (Roger). ...and in that order. The other albums have great moments and songs too, but those above are definately my faves ...by far. And ive met many other Floyd fans who's top 3 Faves are also in those 7 mentioned above. Its great that your generation can experience this magic soundscape. Some Millenials and Z gens ( and Alphas) think they "missed out" and were born in the wrong gen times. But youse didnt miss out. Youre where your meant to be. This is your time now ...PF albums are still here now, and Roger (as of 5yrs ago) still tours whole albums and incredible stage shows, iincluding "The Wall". I go to all of them still, and some of those shows are debatebly better than the original Floyd shows, which ive seen older PF live too ...esp The Wall concert/shows about 10yrs ago . David pops up occasionally here and there too. You just have to be in the right place at the right time.

[@jimangela4589]

Vera Lynn just recently passed away at the age of 103. Here, Roger is referencing her famous song, "We'll Meet Again." Anyone that has seen Dr. Strangelove has heard this song as nuclear bombs are going off at the end of the movie. This song immediately brings to mind "Bring The Boys Back Home", which among things features the New York Opera. The drumming segues into the knocking on the door with the refrain "Time to go" which is how the band members would fetch Syd Barrett back in the day when they would pick him up for a show. "Comfortably Numb" serves to mentally "awaken" Pink from his almost comatose malaise; his being comfortably numb. His mind has betrayed him and it begins this fantastical journey. Though this may have been an incident buried in Pink's memory, here, his mind has imagined a doctor injecting him with an upper to get him to this show he supposedly must perform. Pink's imagination untethered of Pink's will takes a musical concert and turns it into something more sinister.

If you watch the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb, you better refrain from caffeine that day.

[@MaceGill]

Only one acceptable excuse for your Comfortably Numb reaction being interrupted. OLIVIA! :) Okay, in context of the album's narrative, by end of side two, Pink has finished his wall between himself and all of the emotional pain of the outside world. He's now lost in his own head in a near catatonic state and his inner pleas of anybody out there remain unanswered. Unable to gain any meaningful connection to the world outside of his own head, he likens the emotionally 'numb' feeling to that feeling of floating when he was severely sick as a child, caught in a dreamlike state. The 'pin prick' part is the words of a doctor floating in as he's injected with a stimulant so he can still perform.

See Rodger Waters 'The Final Cut' it's the follow up to 'The Wall'.

You HAVE to check out Comfortably Numb live at the Pulse concert. It has what is regarded by most as the greatest guitar solo in music history. You'll thank me later.

[@M63Tod]

If you love Comfortably Numb then you gotta check out Pulse live. The solo is even better. While you are at it, The Turning Away live is as good. Maybe even better.

[@79BlackRose]

I prefer On The Turning Away. The sentiments are more relatable and the solo from A Delicate Sound of Thunder is awesome.

[@M63Tod]

@@79BlackRose yes, I agree. As a stand alone song it is better.

You can literally go back in time and listen to their early works and see their talents grow and mature. Try "Umaguma" and "Meddle" for starters.

Nel momento in cui hai stoppato l' assolo di Gilmour hai semplicemente fatto un sacrilegio , quello è probabilmente l' assolo più bello di tutti i tempi e non si può interrompere .

[@65alef]

Per questa volta glielo possiamo concedere perché dettato dall'entusiasmo per il brano e perché in buonafede ed essendo " nuovo " non conosce ancora i Comandamenti e le principali regole dei fans dei Pink Floyd. E poi...a me piacerebbe averlo come figlio visto che ai miei 3 i Pink Floyd non piacciono. Quindi passiamo sopra al grave errore. Si può fare?😉😎😃

[@mistouko]

Roger suffered from severe stomachaches before the last big shows. The anxiety was taking him down, and in some shows he would play completely numb because of the medication. You know: the fans are waiting, the money is running and "the show must go on"! "The Wall" album was born from the hell and frustration Waters was living with "Animals" live tours. I think that, in some part, he was afraid to become a numb ghost like Syd Barrett. Also, the character of Pink, in the film "The wall", was based on Syd Barrett more than Waters itself.

[@kyles5513]

No he was mostly based on Roger, the drugged out and insane image of Pink was based Syd Barrett.

[@flubblert]

Pink is a composite of both Syd and Roger. The two founding members of Pink Floyd. And the two most important conceptual leaders of the band.

[@keithatkins4033]

As I keep Commenting Silas Roger Waters wrote this album with a Movie in mind its a concept to get a full understanding of what it's all about check out the 1982 Movie.

[@tomaleshire4145]

NEVER, NEVER, EVER interrupt the guitar solos! That's rule #1 for reactors. Also you keep saying, "that guitar",,,,,,,that guitar is being played by David Gilmour 🐐. Acknowledge the artist, acknowledge his talent, give him the recognition he deserves. I enjoy your reactions but you could do so much better.😁❤️✌️
