17 years ago today. The sun is setting and time is running out. It's the autumn of their lives. 4 English boys, 4 architecture students, 4 classmates, 4 coworkers, 4 business partners, 4 superstars, 4 tycoons, 4 friends, 4 enemies, reunite one last time, for one last show, for one last song. It's the end of a legend, but the beginning of a legacy. That night at Hyde Park, for 24 minutes, Heaven was on Earth.
It's not dude this kind of music it's more than anything else; it's an special song for your spirit and your soul. Some day those music genius will be going to died; but their music allways be keeping them alive .
You know what? If someday Pink Floyd gets a movie like Bohemian Rapsody, about all the highs and lows throughout all the band history, this should be the final scene
I think it's too much content to put there, you know? The Queen movie went like "1970 to 1985" and they had to cram so much there, to the point that it became kinda detrimental to the movie, in my view. Imagine having to start from the Barret years (1968'ish) , all the way to this Reunion (2005). This movie would probably suck, and you can make a whole movie just about Syd Barrett, now that I think of it. But yeah, if they were to do something of the like, this should probably be the final scene. Maybe if you skip or just brush over the Gilmour years (since it was the less turbulent period) you can get straight to there, but still, it's too much content.
This is the best version on the internet, because the whole band is together, the cameraman shows the emotions of all 4 guys as they play, and there is no musical overindulgence. The final solo is succinct, musical, perfect. Best Version.
@@seanj3667 Roger Waters apparently didn't like the extended solo and wanted it to be as close as it was to studio(I read this in some article years back)
@@musicianofkeyboard Why WOULD he like it? The solo does not focus on him? Did you ever watch the video of the time Gilmour performed with him at the O2 area? Even in the middle of the solo, while he is not even playing bass, Roger puts the spotlight on himself.
7:03 I love how Roger calles back David to stage to break the ice and to have one last picture altogether. That move created the very last moment of the four of them on the stage. Very cool.
Waters is an grunpy old man who cannot accept that he is not even a real musician. Lyricist yes. But not musician. Glimour is both. Gilmour is one the best guitar players ever, he is a lyricist, he is a wonderful singer, a great performer. Compared to him Waters is nothing.
You just get the sense that they all knew this was the last time they would play together. I love watching them all jam, especially Richard Wright. Seeing him give the keys all he has still gives me goosebumps.
Richard Wright taught me more about how to be the keyboard player in a rock band than Tony Banks, Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson combined. Hugh Banton, of course, already knew...
Pink Floyd loved a bit of flash. Your comment just sounds like low-level ageism. The fact it's your form of a compliment doesn't make it better. They're not just some old guys in jeans. They're geniuses. Why are jeans associated with not being a genius? It's not 1950.
I was there, right down the very front with my Dad who passed two years ago. We really did know on that day just how special this was and how lucky we were to see and hear them live. I like to watch this performance back and think about that great day and how I shared that moment with my Dad.
I had the honour of working on Live8. i was part of the team who handled the ticketing for the this amazing event. I can honestly say, seeing Pink Floyd play live was one of my bucket list items that I managed to achieve. I was fortunate to be down the front of the Golden Circle watching this with Chris Evans and Boris Becker standing beside me. The teenage me was screaming with joy!!!!
Gilmour's face as the solo reaches its climax takes my breath away. He's playing with every fibre of his being, and it is just phenomenal. The very best solo of his career, and that's really, really saying something.
In my humble estimation Comfortably Numb is the greatest piece of rock music ever written. Waters is a genius with the lyrics and Gilmour, Wright. and Mason likewise for the music that carries those great lyrics. Nobody rivals their style and presentation. When I am listening to Floyd, all is right with my world.
@@tevinchidester9681 Nothing is right, indeed but they couldn't go on and on grieving for Syd. Whether or not David Gilmour cared is immaterial. It was about changing the tune. ON the mater of caring Waters, the genius he was , perhaps cared too much. One can't live their life out endlessly crying over the ills of the world. It was time to move on. Too bad Waters couldn't see that. That was only part of the problem. Waters wanted to be totally in charge.
Roger and Richard throwing their heads up in unison following David’s run down the neck at 5:12 is just beautiful, and Nick perfectly accenting the moment caps it off. No drama, just four musicians coming together for a common cause. Seeing Richard and Roger side by side and in the same zone one last time is priceless.
@@aaronholmes8568 His solos send chills down your back and reverberate through your whole body and blow out the top of your head. There are no other like it.
And when you're playing it for fun, you're literally tripping. - I know, I didn't believe it too. Than I bought my first guitar and after 4 months you won't buy any drug for the rest of your life.
Kombivar did it really take you 4 months to be able to "play" the guitar correctly? I might buy one myself and learn it. I know jack shit about reading music and theories and shit tho
One of my biggest concert going memories is being at the very front barrier all that day with my Dad, who was 67 at the time. Amazing to see that legendary performance from just a few feet away. Since losing my Dad two years ago I've rewatched those magical 24 minutes many times. Wish You Were Here obviously more poignant now. Great memories of an incredible day.
this is the most emotional live show i've seen. no crying, just pure emotion and passion coming from out of those mouths and instruments, all 4 of the original guys coming together for the last few minutes of an already dying band, and giving it one last powerful hurrah. fantastic!
From what I've read it was Geldof getting Roger to phone Dave that was the real breakthrough. I think the cause - (fighting poverty) - was right for them all and with Waters and Geldof putting it up to him I'd say Dave realised that this was a good opportunity to put all the squabbling to bed and give the group a fitting end.
Leroy Lang Yeah and since then Dave has said as much, and also asked Roger to do a charity gig with him. So I think it is all put to bed. Also fitting to have the guy who played Pink in The Wall film to get them all together.
Timothy Cole That's very true Tim and Geldof doesn't take no for an answer. He is a persistent bugger. I don't think Roger and Dave will ever be bosom buddies but at least they have come to some sort of ceasefire.
I was there I won two tickets on the radio will never forget seeing Pink Floyd play together after all those years apart it was epic I'm one lucky geordie lass 😍
2:03 - Nick decides that potential permanent ear damage doesn't even come close to listening to DG playing the solos with the original band members for the last time :)
Never forget Roger 'Syd' Barrett who was in Cambridge when his band which he named and wrote and played their early hits for, played. Henry, Cambridge.
Pink Floyd was one of the pioneers of guitarists , vocalists and lyrics in the Golden Era. Still after 35 years I am listening to this music non stop and have never got fed up . These legends , Roger waters and David Gilmore have given a lot to the music in the 20th century and they are far more better than a lot of artists today . Hatts off
Tengo 19 años y desde que los escuche por primera vez me quede facinado y drsde ese momento se convirtieron en mi banda de rock favorita nunca me aburre escuchar su música apesar que nací en una epoca totalmente diferente , donde la musica ya no tiene nigún sentido ,por siempre Pink Floyd
@dennis Reynolds: sir you are absolutely right , Floyd was way ahead of their time even before this song was released , then when this was released , it solidified their place forever as the greatest band ever . amen
Check out the "Live in Gdansk" concert - Gilmour arguably even better Comfortably Numb performance there, and Rick certainly better than Roger on second vocal
Final hug most important moment whole music history. Much emotion and gratitude to see the four Legends together embracing after the historic reunion. Best Band History
Really one of the great moments in rock, the final, arguably greatest song performed by the band as if they never stopped playing together. Really breathtaking. and Gilmour soars!
+Victoria Schlicher Listening to this version makes me feel that floyd didn't really suffer too much from waters leaving. Gilmour''s voice is simply magnificent!
the next generation will listen to this timeless music like me, maybe our children and this song made me almost cry , I know I will never be in Pink Floy's live concert but I imagine about this band and their fans in their early career.
@@ultimatesans2175America, Scorpion, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and hundreds out there who has a bunch of greats songs and you act like we only have Pink Floyd and few others
@@kurinaiuchiha Good bands with numerous good songs but when measured against Pink Floyd?It's an unfair game. Pink Floyd are in a different league to pretty much any band ever.
My favorite part is at 5:11 where you can see they move and lean together during that melodic drop in the solo. There's a reason why they all were in a band together.
@@solelyforhermitcraftvii9005 Not really since they enjoyed a lot that night, all of them. They weren't open for a tour but that show alone showed how much they missed playing together.
You will always be the best, no disrespect to all other extraordinary bands, every group with its own masterpiece, each with an unequaled song, but Pink Floyd is pure perfection.
as a young child i remember my dad playing this music working on his trucks and whatever.. it's forever etched in my mind.. nobody will ever top pink floyd. they are legends... I truly wish Roger and David would set their differences aside and embrace their music for them and the rest of the world. you guys are truly loved....
When the musicians are scattered on a such a big stage, visual and audio com between them can be difficult at times, even if they are really professional (maybe so much so because of that) it's more reassuring having feedback.
The best performance of Comfortably Numb in my opinion. It's absolutely perfect 👌 All four are totally in tune with each other and you can see the enjoyment especially in the last guitar solo. Beautiful PF Forever 💕
Just such an epic ending. You can see in places how Roger is almost overwhelmed and even admits on stage during the intro to Wish You Were Here how humbling the whole experience was. I think Roger was on a mission to bury the hatchet that day and Rick and Nick always the quiet ones still deliver impeccably and even Syd was remembered and most importantly the Fans got to see " THEE " greatest one more time. Pink Floyd
"I think Roger was on a mission to bury the hatchet that day" And Rick, too, putting his hand on Roger's shoulder at the end. The kind of burying the hatchet where you never hang out again, but still.
These Great Men can take some comfort in knowing that for a few minutes - during those last 4 songs that all four played together for the final time - this confirmed that they were among the Best that has ever been, or ever WILL be. A perfect 25 minutes, trapped in time, forever. I had goosebumps when they started playing 'Breathe', I was grinning like a Cheshire cat when they played 'Money', I started to well up tears when they began 'Wish You Were Here' and I was bawling my eyes out by the time they were playing 'Comfortably Numb'. As the final Gilmour solo soared above the rest of the very powerful band - they spiraled, higher and higher, farther and farther toward manifest Legacy - God, I wished they would NEVER stop; for I feared that if they did, MUSIC ITSELF would somehow come to an end. Forever... And who among us with a heart, who among us with a SOUL, would ever want that to happen..? Rest In Peace, Syd Barrett and Rick Wright. And Rest In Peace, the Mighty, MIGHTY Pink Floyd... :'( :'(
Saw the excellent Pin Ups cover this in the Rock cafe lots of times in Albuferia Portugal up to 2020 . Its a stunning song ,feel privileged to have heard it played by a fantastic cover band who alas ,are no more .
I just love the music I grew up with is still around. Most great bands now days can’t stay together 5 years much less 40+ years. This was my second concert when I was 14. If you never got to see Pink Floyd live, you missed out. This is August 2022, and I still put on my headphones to listen to Pink Floyd.
I owe my life to this song. My parents divorced when I was 17. I was out on my own, with no financial help. It was a dark place for awhile, then this song came out and helped me make it through. Forever grateful to Pink Floyd.
Hi Martin, stay strong...listen to music... take care of yourself...life will be good to you.. do the things that make you happy.....pick good friends...
@@elizabethdevine1652 Thanks Elizabeth. That was 40 years ago, and life has been good to me. Because of this song I made it to 19, and found Christ. My relationship with Christ has made the biggest impact on the last 40 years of my life. God bless.
@@elizabethdevine1652 lol the "Good Lord" let's down plenty of people, such as George Floyd, and all of those starving, diseased children in 3rd world countries that we put out of our minds so that we are comfortably numb.
No matter what anyone says about Roger, he's having the time of his life here. Probably the first Pink Floyd concert since the 60s he didn't look serious or miserable. Here he's on fire with the three best musicians he ever played with and he's loving it.
+Lucas Wide That was amazing moment! Although the camera is not in front of him and one cannot see the lustre in his eyes by the angle, we can still feel the emotion he had during that instance. Incredible.
+idontcarewhatyournameis He's listening to a click track. This song starts off very mellow. It's not a coincidence he throws them off just before the solo.
+Jiffy Whip I think he had a click track for this song because of a backing track - possibly the strings section. Maybe he thought I've got this and didn't need to hear it anymore.
You can take all the fast, "play as many notes as I can in a minute" style guitarists and throw them all off a cliff. Nobody manages to get as much emotion into a guitar solo as David Gilmour, and thats why this is the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Clapton is great alright but I actually think Prince's hall of fame solo is better than anything Clapton did on that track! Clapton is one of the very best though, for sure
Here I am, at 66, and knowing that throughout my entire lifetime there have been very few live performances that are as polished as this one. The sound engineers did a perfect job, the guys played flawlessly. It was the performance that we all wanted to see, and full credit to all involved for making it happen. Historic is not the word.
The song Wish you were here, i remember shedding a tear at the time watrching that song in 2005, still makes me feel sad for many reasons. Life is short, mistakes made can't be undone, time gone can never be regained.
Without doubt, one of the most iconic moments in music ever, having the 4 members of Pink Floyd playing together for the last time, if only Syd had been there, even just to observe it if nothing else.
Just some old guys in jeans playing some of the finest music you will ever hear. No flash, no bling just pure talent. There's nothing like Pink Floyd, and this is the best moment of music's history.
I've listened to this a 100 times over and every single time that second guitar solo sends chills up my spine. Simply incredible by Gilmour, wish there were such bands around these days!
Imagine, just for a second, that you were in England at that time and that you've actually attended to that show. Imagine yourself receiving all the notes of the final solo, like that guy with white shirt. Did you cry?
I'll never forget this as long as I live. Like many others, I assumed we'd never see anything close to a reunion. I threw an all day party at my house filled with friends watching all the Live8 feeds until Floyd came on. Such a fun, amazing day.

I noticed that too it was awesome
Didn't want to deprive his ears. Good choice!
he had click track in his headphones. he didn't need it anymore.

17 years ago today. The sun is setting and time is running out. It's the autumn of their lives. 4 English boys, 4 architecture students, 4 classmates, 4 coworkers, 4 business partners, 4 superstars, 4 tycoons, 4 friends, 4 enemies, reunite one last time, for one last show, for one last song.
It's the end of a legend, but the beginning of a legacy.

nice idea
& i thnk richard gere He will play the role of one of them
What and how to describe such brilliance 😊woes every time a here this
they already have it... it's called "Pink Floyd the Wall"

Considering how much Waters has cost Gilmour in legal fees, it is a miracle they didn't start swinging. All for a good cause, they kept their cool.
He's like "cmon cmon, yeah yeah I know you hate me. But damn we played good and plus we need to do this for the pictures." David's like, "Fine...😐"
Classy move by both!

2:03 - Nick decides that potential permanent ear damage doesn't even come close to listening to DG playing the solos with the original band members for the last time :)
Underrated comment ..love it lol
Never forget Roger 'Syd' Barrett who was in Cambridge when his band which he named and wrote and played their early hits for, played. Henry, Cambridge.
It will have been his click track.
Pink Floyd was one of the pioneers of guitarists , vocalists and lyrics in the Golden Era. Still after 35 years I am listening to this music non stop and have never got fed up . These legends , Roger waters and David Gilmore have given a lot to the music in the 20th century and they are far more better than a lot of artists today . Hatts off
How boring. Your LP s must be scratched. Adilduredoran parked his car in the 90s and stood comfortably numb there
Tengo 19 años y desde que los escuche por primera vez me quede facinado y drsde ese momento se convirtieron en mi banda de rock favorita nunca me aburre escuchar su música apesar que nací en una epoca totalmente diferente , donde la musica ya no tiene nigún sentido ,por siempre Pink Floyd
This performance (this one specifically) is arguably the summit moment of rock history.
Still as moved by this as the first time I ever heard it. That David Gilmour solo touches my soul. Pink Floyd forever.
5:57 Gilmour even not look into his guitar... just feeling the music
Just absolutely the greatest band of all time. No doubts, no arguments, they just simply are. They are just leagues above anyone and everyone else.
@dennis Reynolds: sir you are absolutely right , Floyd was way ahead of their time even before this song was released , then when this was released , it solidified their place forever as the greatest band ever . amen
Sue? No sir iron maiden is a great band as well and I don't argue. Just differed opinions
i agree,absolutely!
zep?
Queen? Zeppelin? Floyd? Those 3 are the standard bearers for all things great
Real tragedy that this was a one off never to be repeated performance
Storm Hawk yeah, but at least this happened.
But look how they play, I feel this like the best version of the song
It is, but that solo could probably never be hit as well as that ever again.
Julio Olvera it really is. It's flawless, no nonsense over indulgent improv, and straight to the point. It was a privilege to be there.
Check out the "Live in Gdansk" concert - Gilmour arguably even better Comfortably Numb performance there, and Rick certainly better than Roger on second vocal
Final hug most important moment whole music history. Much emotion and gratitude to see the four Legends together embracing after the historic reunion. Best Band History
No if's, no but's, the greatest live guitar solo of all time.
nibunker *greatest guitar solo of all time in my opinion, studio and live
Thats just like... Your opinion dude
LeThayle nope it actually is ranked the greatest
Doesn't beat Brothers in Arms for me.
nibunker Way better than Stairway. Period.
Really one of the great moments in rock, the final, arguably greatest song performed by the band as if they never stopped playing together. Really breathtaking. and Gilmour soars!
David Gilmour owns this, solo is killer, one of the best live i think I've heard, and voice is beautiful.
Yeah, the solo was good (as always) but not his best, but I agree with u his voice was great that night!
+Victoria Schlicher Listening to this version makes me feel that floyd didn't really suffer too much from waters leaving. Gilmour''s voice is simply magnificent!
+Victoria Schlicher i agree. this is the best solo of this song i.v heared
CowDog 4404 the whole band fucking owned this... last performance done by all four ;(
Ti
na
This guitar solo never get old ❤
the next generation will listen to this timeless music like me, maybe our children and this song made me almost cry , I know I will never be in Pink Floy's live concert but I imagine about this band and their fans in their early career.
Very thoughtful comment! Cheers brother
david sentosa I have loved this song since the first time I heard it.
There's nothing like Pink Floyd, and this is the best moment of music's history.
All others are just pretenders
Yes, absolutely, last moment four Legends together. True
@@ultimatesans2175America, Scorpion, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and hundreds out there who has a bunch of greats songs and you act like we only have Pink Floyd and few others
Relax the drama
@@kurinaiuchiha Good bands with numerous good songs but when measured against Pink Floyd?It's an unfair game.
Pink Floyd are in a different league to pretty much any band ever.
5:01 I like that not only girls can get carried on shoulders. That's what mates are for. Love seeing the guy doing the air-guitar xD
My dude straight up Trippin 😂
My favorite part is at 5:11 where you can see they move and lean together during that melodic drop in the solo. There's a reason why they all were in a band together.
I was there. It was a privilege and I knew history was being made. Humbled.
me too, what a privilege
Considering I was only 1 I’m very jealous lads, just to see the full experience with even wright performing must of been so out of this world.
Considering I was only 1 I’m very jealous lads, just to see the full experience with even wright performing must of been so out of this world.
When I saw David live a lot of us cried, same happened when I saw Roger. I can't imagine how was that day seeing them reunited.
You waking up in the mornng is history being made. Don't idolize millionnaires.
You can see clearly that all 4 men gave it their all in this last performance.
I know that I'm late but...
LEVI
Levi, youre everywhere on many prog rock songs. Wow.
(Dave and Rodger playing together again)
Everyone Liked That.
Except them...
He meant except
@@jesuschrist6191 whoops
@@solelyforhermitcraftvii9005 Not really since they enjoyed a lot that night, all of them. They weren't open for a tour but that show alone showed how much they missed playing together.
*Roger
You will always be the best, no disrespect to all other extraordinary bands, every group with its own masterpiece, each with an unequaled song, but Pink Floyd is pure perfection.
If they only could leave their egos behind.
Rush is my favorite band. 3 guys that were best friends and excellent musicians.
Still love PF.
as a young child i remember my dad playing this music working on his trucks and whatever.. it's forever etched in my mind.. nobody will ever top pink floyd. they are legends... I truly wish Roger and David would set their differences aside and embrace their music for them and the rest of the world. you guys are truly loved....
When the final guitar solo started .. there was pin drop silence in the crowd. It was a confluence of sublime spirits.
Watch Roger and Rick at 5:14, they are so in the moment
+Daniel Kinsey Heavy metal moment! haha
+RoyalHunter2789 I farking love that moment. Feeling the music.
+RoyalHunter2789 Not heavy metal.
Thanks...... i missed that so many times.
3 perfect moments... 2:03 5:14 5:45
The way that Nick tears off his headphones before the bridge solo says it all. He wants to hear this legend just as much as the fans.
I love how Nick Mason removes his headset just to hear David Gilmour's solo.
That's because Gilmore plays a different solo everytime with slight changes
Why did he even need them in the first place?
When the musicians are scattered on a such a big stage, visual and audio com between them can be difficult at times, even if they are really professional (maybe so much so because of that) it's more reassuring having feedback.
and also for the backing track of orchestra... they need to hear the click track
They also are noise canceling so the musicians don't go deaf.
When Gilmour starts his solo, you stop doing whatever you're doing and open the TH-cam tab to watch it in awe.
ANd remember that LSD trip you had listening to it
I got goose bumps x
Exactly.
exactly amk!
That's what a grand master sounds like
I'm 59 and I will never regret to have been born in the music GOLDEN ERA, I will enjoy this song forever.
SAME HERE
The best performance of Comfortably Numb in my opinion. It's absolutely perfect 👌 All four are totally in tune with each other and you can see the enjoyment especially in the last guitar solo. Beautiful PF Forever 💕
i love when nick mason takes off his headphones to hear Gilmore's solo at 2:03
look at 2:01 nick is happy so cute that´s so beautiful he forgive everything and just play like a happy kid
Loved that
Ikr he was feeling it
Gosto muito desta música eu tinha 20 anos nu 76 quando e o amor da minha vida me deu un cassete de pink Floyd
That moment at 4:28 .....
Where everyone gets ready to loose themselves into a trance.....
Just Epic!!!!
The riffs @2:22 are what heaven sounds like. Ill time stamp it, so every now and then i can come back and liste n to it 😂
Just such an epic ending. You can see in places how Roger is almost overwhelmed and even admits on stage during the intro to Wish You Were Here how humbling the whole experience was. I think Roger was on a mission to bury the hatchet that day and Rick and Nick always the quiet ones still deliver impeccably and even Syd was remembered and most importantly the Fans got to see " THEE " greatest one more time. Pink Floyd
"I think Roger was on a mission to bury the hatchet that day" And Rick, too, putting his hand on Roger's shoulder at the end. The kind of burying the hatchet where you never hang out again, but still.
I think Syd would have died happy knowing this performance happened
Well, he buried the hatchet with Rick, at least.
Hard to believe that Live 8 was 15 years ago, damn does time fly.
16 years today. Crazy
If rockstars have taught me anything it’s that your older far longer than your young lol
19 years ago😢😮
These Great Men can take some comfort in knowing that for a few minutes - during those last 4 songs that all four played together for the final time - this confirmed that they were among the Best that has ever been, or ever WILL be. A perfect 25 minutes, trapped in time, forever. I had goosebumps when they started playing 'Breathe', I was grinning like a Cheshire cat when they played 'Money', I started to well up tears when they began 'Wish You Were Here' and I was bawling my eyes out by the time they were playing 'Comfortably Numb'. As the final Gilmour solo soared above the rest of the very powerful band - they spiraled, higher and higher, farther and farther toward manifest Legacy - God, I wished they would NEVER stop; for I feared that if they did, MUSIC ITSELF would somehow come to an end.
Forever...
And who among us with a heart, who among us with a SOUL, would ever want that to happen..? Rest In Peace, Syd Barrett and Rick Wright. And Rest In Peace, the Mighty, MIGHTY Pink Floyd... :'( :'(
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☝☝☝☝
Saw the excellent Pin Ups cover this in the Rock cafe lots of times in Albuferia Portugal up to 2020 . Its a stunning song ,feel privileged to have heard it played by a fantastic cover band who alas ,are no more .
I just love the music I grew up with is still around. Most great bands now days can’t stay together 5 years much less 40+ years. This was my second concert when I was 14. If you never got to see Pink Floyd live, you missed out. This is August 2022, and I still put on my headphones to listen to Pink Floyd.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
By..gio..sss..primo..solo..la..migliore..musica.. tutto..il..resto...e..noia..ciao...Milano.. italy..
Hi Pam, how are you doing?
I owe my life to this song. My parents divorced when I was 17. I was out on my own, with no financial help. It was a dark place for awhile, then this song came out and helped me make it through. Forever grateful to Pink Floyd.
Inspirartional.
Hi Martin, stay strong...listen to music... take care of yourself...life will be good to you.. do the things that make you happy.....pick good friends...
@@elizabethdevine1652 Thanks Elizabeth. That was 40 years ago, and life has been good to me. Because of this song I made it to 19, and found Christ.
My relationship with Christ has made the biggest impact on the last 40 years of my life. God bless.
Aw Martin, great to hear that.. the good Lord was there to give you the strength to carry on.. he never lets us down..Stay well. God bless you too..
@@elizabethdevine1652 lol the "Good Lord" let's down plenty of people, such as George Floyd, and all of those starving, diseased children in 3rd world countries that we put out of our minds so that we are comfortably numb.
Nick Mason plays the drums beautifully
I'm glad someone mentionned it
6:07 even Roger was melting like ice from that note, that's why now they're calling him waters
?>Adf,ssssss
No matter what anyone says about Roger, he's having the time of his life here. Probably the first Pink Floyd concert since the 60s he didn't look serious or miserable. Here he's on fire with the three best musicians he ever played with and he's loving it.
I love how Nick lobs off his headphones so that he can hear the solo
+Lucas Wide That was amazing moment! Although the camera is not in front of him and one cannot see the lustre in his eyes by the angle, we can still feel the emotion he had during that instance. Incredible.
+idontcarewhatyournameis He's listening to a click track. This song starts off very mellow. It's not a coincidence he throws them off just before the solo.
Jiffy Whip Oh right
+Jiffy Whip I think he had a click track for this song because of a backing track - possibly the strings section. Maybe he thought I've got this and didn't need to hear it anymore.
+Timothy Cole Yeah, and it was coincidentally the bar right before the solo. People are so retarded.
You can take all the fast, "play as many notes as I can in a minute" style guitarists and throw them all off a cliff. Nobody manages to get as much emotion into a guitar solo as David Gilmour, and thats why this is the greatest guitar solo of all time.
+Propjoe10 Totally agree........
Propjoe10 Clapton comes close. Listen to his performance of 'while my guitar gently weeps' at the Concert for George.
Clapton is great alright but I actually think Prince's hall of fame solo is better than anything Clapton did on that track! Clapton is one of the very best though, for sure
Shredding has a place.
then there's people like steve vai who can do both on the same song
It’s the middle of the night here and I’m crying as watching this masterpiece. The last evidence of our lifetime’s greatest band together.😢🎉
Here I am, at 66, and knowing that throughout my entire lifetime there have been very few live performances that are as polished as this one. The sound engineers did a perfect job, the guys played flawlessly. It was the performance that we all wanted to see, and full credit to all involved for making it happen. Historic is not the word.
The ending is so amazing! They just come together and embrace each other after so many years of departure and quarrels!
The scene of Nick Mason throwing away his headphones says It all,PURE FEELING AND PLAYING,Just as they are:GREAT👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Let's be honest here!
This is not your first time here, nor will it be the last.
08/05/2020 forever
08/06/2020
One day it will unfortunately
@@soosenbinder8536 no negative vibes please
True.
The song Wish you were here, i remember shedding a tear at the time watrching that song in 2005, still makes me feel sad for many reasons. Life is short, mistakes made can't be undone, time gone can never be regained.
Without doubt, one of the most iconic moments in music ever, having the 4 members of Pink Floyd playing together for the last time, if only Syd had been there, even just to observe it if nothing else.
that has got to be the wildest guitar tone i've heard in my life
Damn, man. I think this was the best solo out of all the live performances of this song I've watched.
most definatly
i think the PULSE version is the best (:
+Adelson Kam pulse is good but it was missing something, so imho this trumps pulse
The PULSE version is the most perfect solo I've ever heard ..... of any solo ever :)
Randy Rhoads' "Mr. Crowely" solo on MTV is the best live solo I have ever seen or heard.
Just some old guys in jeans playing some of the finest music you will ever hear. No flash, no bling just pure talent. There's nothing like Pink Floyd, and this is the best moment of music's history.

I just love Mason at 2:03 throwing his headset like "screw it, I want to hear this"
It’s insane how easy David makes it seem to play the guitar
Greatest reunion of all time.
There will never be a finale better than this. Ever
I've listened to this a 100 times over and every single time that second guitar solo sends chills up my spine. Simply incredible by Gilmour, wish there were such bands around these days!
It makes me cry
Floyd,ELP all will never have anyone even close. Those were the days of awesome music and groups. Glad I was young back then..
Roger Waters
David Gilmour
Nick Mason
Richard Wright
The Spirit of Syd Barret
Syd was still alive when this concert took place, he died a year later
@@TheTallMan That's true, but we can only wish he'd been there.
Right! Brian.
Bob Rado Klose
and the Battersea Power Station from Animals!
Imagine, just for a second, that you were in England at that time and that you've actually attended to that show. Imagine yourself receiving all the notes of the final solo, like that guy with white shirt.
Did you cry?
Are you signing for United? whoops, sorry wrong thread.
I was there, and I did cry. just watched it again for the thousandth time & cried again
I'll never forget this as long as I live. Like many others, I assumed we'd never see anything close to a reunion. I threw an all day party at my house filled with friends watching all the Live8 feeds until Floyd came on. Such a fun, amazing day.
One of the greatest bands in the world.
Makes me cry every time.

Brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it.
@@critchleyd ME TO👍👍
This performance is so emotional. Gets me every time. Perfection from all 4.
I can’t believe how good this sounds. Most live music isn’t this clear and DG’s voice is on point
