Достойно. Весьма. Но Гилмор - лучше. Это " другое прочтение классики ", как нынче пишут.

А где Любашка? Да, парняги сильно всё сделали, респект!!!! 🎉

[@jh9992]

There is an insane amount of talent on that stage. Not many bands come close to playing this tight.

[@bufordjustice5643]

They’re a pretty talented bunch, for sure. Extremely versatile.

[@jeremeywelling2245]

When Gilmore e mails Jake. And tells him good job keep it up who am I to say!!!!

[@jeremeywelling2245]

Probably the best cover of this song any of us will ever hear!!!

[@steenknudsen1297]

It isn't Pink Floyd, but no-one is..except Pink Floyd. It's Umphrey's McGee and they are playing a song, that I can't even imagine to be able to play. It it's awesome. To you who critizise it, I dare you to do a better job..... Staying so close to the original not only shows their respect for the original but also that they very skilled musicians. I can only say "I wish I were there". I must have been absolutely magic.

[@billshiel242]

So true!

[@Lord_Stinkfoot]

Steen Knudsen word

[@steenknudsen1297]

Just "re-visited" the video again, as so many times before, this past month. I am blown away everytime and in total awe of Umphreys Mcgee`s stunning performance. I am and have always been a massive Pink Floyd fan. Music was born in 1962 when Pink Floyd was formed, in my opinion :) :D. Since Pink Floyd is no more, the only way to get a taste of the magic is to seek out concerts with some of the many brilliant coverbands around. I know Umprey's McGee isn't a Pink Floyd cover Band as such, but this version of "S O Y C D", is one of the best if not the best cover of this song I ever had the pleasure to listen to. An european tour, including Denmark is needed !!!! I would go to the concert, just to hear this song and getting all the other tunes on their set-list, performed equally brilliant, as a bonus.

[@Lord_Stinkfoot]

Agreed. The music is top shelf and the show is very PF indeed. (Seen PF 3 times, RW 2x)

[@GaaraSama1983]

Nice comment. They seem to have good technique, but that's only one part of music. You have to got a "feeling" (can't find a better word) for it and put your soul into music. One of my favorites is Mike Oldfield. Watch his early Live concerts. He plays some tunes wrong, there are technically better players than him, but still I wish I had the chance to experience it live. I can feel him even through the video. It just flows out of him and that's for example what Pink Floyd also delivers.

[@JRayShovelpig]

That's good enough to bring an old Pink Floyd fan to tears! Thanks!

[@andrewfurner7321]

J.Ray Shovelpig, Not quite,sorry.

[@michaeltreglera6704]

Captures a Pink Floyd vibe without trying to sound exactly like the Floyd; what more could you ask for?? This rocks, and I dig it greatly, even having been fortunate enough to see Gilmour himself play it! Really love the slightly more aggressive sound in the intro section, reminds me of the 80s Floyd sound

[@sanyoke4309]

well said.

One of the most highly skilled bands out there. 10/10 for technical prowess. Hope they tour Canada one year.

[@suzanneb1985]

❤️ beautiful, when my brother Dan Becker passed away, I got the lyrics to this song tattooed on my back. PF was his favorite. Remember when I ever sa the iconic prism, on a poster in his room when I was little. is grave marker even has "see you on the dark side of the moon" on it. His I miss him. One day I will hopefully track down one of his guitars. Thank you Umphrey McGee's for supporting my brother. He lived a amazing life. 💎🎸

[@MrPhotodoc]

So nice to see real music being passed down to real musicians for a change.

[@buckshot9434]

Totally knocked it out of the park on this one. Phenomenal guitar playing, this is a great rendition of the original. Can't see how anyone would give this performance a thumbs down but definitely a two thumbs up from me.

[@grappleduck57]

They're not Pink Floyd...they're Umphrey's McGee. They know dam well they are not Pink Floyd, however, it does not stop them from performing a poignant, tight rendition of Shine on you Crazy Diamond...well done! Umphrey's McGee...well done indeed. Carry on you jamolicous, rock star band. Pile on many more layers...and shine!

[@8888henri]

Just awesome, giving new interpretations through live performance of compositions is what keeps classical music alive and relevant today; the same should apply to 'popular music' as well - this one sure sets a high standard for other performances of Shine on you.

[@alanwerner8563]

WOW, FUCKING WOOOW!!! THAT WAS FUCKING GREAT!! Never EVER have I heard such a faithful reading of a cover that was at once 1. 99.9% flawlessly accurate in its Note For Note Precision, and 2. Utterly faithful to the spirit of the original without being Pandering. I’ve Never heard such a perfect reading of such an important song. You tend to forget how important such tunes, really such whole Records were to the lives of a Whole Generation. When I looked at the audience in this I was struck by the fact that this song was probably Just As Critically Important to MANY MANY of the audience members as it was for me (at least it was like this for those old enough to remember).

[@tccycling]

This is greatness. It takes balls to try and do a Pink Floyd song.

i'm so reliefed when i see him tuning the g string. It was out of tune in frequency ratio. I checked the comment section and did not see anybody commenting about the tuning. Anyways one of the greatest and original covers i've ever heard so far. Good job guys. You did really well by adding your style into it. This is what the word ''cover'' meant to be. Unique.

[@Rash_reed]

I was at this show on a head full. There was a thunderstorm in the distance and you could see lightning striking over the denver area. The what I think was full moon stayed hidden most of the night until they played this and it slowly emerged from behind the clouds above the stage. lt all came together so well. I was spun but will never forget that.

[@smoknbobjd]

I take such enjoyment from seeing amazing bands like Umphrey's. I love getting a gift like this at a show, an awesome cover. Haven't been in the crowd for awhile, but I'll making up for it soon.

[@mwyatt222]

As brilliant as Jake is hearing this makes you really appreciate having seen Floyd back in 70s. Gilmour made the intro guitar lines seamless in a way that lve never seen matched since.

Jake's a master at sounding like any guitarist he wants to - but I think this talent is fully realized whenever he's doing Gilmour. He somehow manages to play the licks almost note-for-note but still retain some of his own style and flare. Not easy to do.

[@bluesriot2]

good call !

[@simonpreston1693]

You can hear a bit more attack, than Gilmour uses, but that's a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to hear an exact replica, of the original (I've got the record, tape, CD etc for that). I want to hear the personality of the band. This is a pretty good cover (& far better than most).

[@owengardiner4628]

You gotta be joking thinking he sounds like Gilmour ?

[@JerkMorrison]

He sounds like Jake Cinninger doing a damn fine Gilmour impression.

[@rorygentry6802]

If you think that sounds like Gilmour, then you have never heard Gilmour. Yeah, he's playing the same chords, but he doesn't have Gilmour's depth. David Gilmour is absolutely intimately connected with his guitar. This guy is playing the same chords, but he doesn't have the timing that Gilmour has, because he doesn't feel it the way Gilmour does.

Pink Floyd's soliloquy to Syd Barrett. Has a band ever written a more eloquent tribute to an old friend/band mate since?

[@useyourblues]

Does "Wish You Were Here" count?

[@Qwazier3]

Watched a Pink Floyd documentary and all they did throughout it was cry and lament and whine about Sid and his illness which caused him to leave the band. They made a huge catalog of music written pretty much about Sid that minted them fame & fortune. I'm sorry about Sid but because Sid left they got what wanted. Sid's illness was disruptive and they wouldn't have gone any where with him in the band.
