    One of the greatest guitar solos ever. Still gives me goosebumps almost 50 years after it came out. So glad I grew up when music like this was being made. Nothing today can compare.

      Saw this tour live in Indy in the mid 90s. Was freaking awe-inspiring. The whole audience was transfixed and mesmerized by the solo at the end and the morphing disco ball. I caught myself with my jaw hanging open and looked around. LOL, everyone else was standing around slack-jawed too! Was the same back when I saw them for the first time in the mid 80s. Only that time it was more of a laser light display that had everyone once again slack-jawed. When they went into the chorus, "A distant ship smoke on the horizon, your are only coming through in waves..." they played the lasers above the audience in a pattern that looked like you were viewing waves on the ocean from underneath. It was totally badass! Such great memories!!!

    .Fun Fact---- According to Waters, Barrett(original singer, who was dealing with serious mental issues) came into what would be their last rehearsal session together with a new song. He was calling it, "Have You Got It Yet?," and the first couple times they ran through it, it seemed simple enough. Soon the band realized that the song wasn't simple at all - Barrett would change the melody and the arrangement constantly with each new practice run - slightly at first, but more and more each time they played it. Barrett would play it again for them, with the capricious structure changes, and each time he would ask, "Have you got it yet?" Of course, the band never did quite get it, as they were chasing the proverbial carrot on the string. Eventually they realized that they had become victims of Barrett's eccentric sense of humor. In fact Waters stated, in an interview for The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story, that upon realizing Barrett was deliberately making the tune impossible to learn, he put down his bass guitar, left the room, and never attempted to play with Barrett again. Waters had called it "a real act of mad genius".

      Here’s another interesting and heartwarming thing about Pink Floyd: for obvious reasons, they had to kick Syd Barrett out of the band, his drug use and mental problems had become too much of an issue for them to carry on with him, so they parted ways. However after every album and every tour they did without him, they would always send Barrett a percentage of the money they would make off of the record sales/tours or whatever. Even though Syd wasn’t physically a part of the group anymore, they still cared about him and considered him a member of the band, so they wrote him a check anytime the band made any kind of revenue. I don’t know too many other musical artists who would do something like that.

    I was at this concert. You didn’t just listen to Pink Floyd, you felt it throughout your body, especially your mind and finally you watched it with the fantastic light show. Having been to concerts since the 1970s, This concert with Pink Floyd had arguably one of the best sound systems. I’ve heard other bands in this venue and the some of them their sound systems sucked, reverbing echoes so much you couldn’t make out any words. This was their encore song, the final song. When everyone walked out to go home hardly anyone spoke, they just witnessed a concert of a lifetime; an experience we collectively all tried to process as we left. We were all speechless.

    I am so utterly lucky to have seen them in the old Foxboro Stadium in 1994, they were incredible that night and the version of Comfortably Number heard there rivaled the one you just reacted to. Pink Floyd was an experience like no other musically, we tripped to them in Boston in 1975 & 1977, I got to see Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals in their entirety. You should react to every thing on those Albums, they are beyond classic. They encored with Echoes in 75, we thought the building was in alternate universe for awhile. They were the best I ever saw and I envy you two having a fresh start on reviewing their amazing catalog. Enjoy! 🎸

    The song is about Roger Waters, who was ill and needed some pain medication so he could go onstage to perform. So many great classic bands/artists from back in the day; Pink Floyd is definitely at the top of the list (along with the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and others). Don't get me started on the best guitarists, lol. David Gilmour (lead guitarist and vocalist) is not just an amazing musician but an amazing human being. He auctioned off all his guitars; got $21.5 million, and gave it all to charity. You guys need to see them very young in "Pink Floyd live at Pompeii, 1971-72" , another amazing performance.

      In addition to Waters' performance ills, Gilmore added the childhood experience of having a bad case of a flu or some kind of viral infection and the delirium that he experienced during that time, but was now fleeting in his memory.

    • @BillBarnesLexSouthCarolina
      @BillBarnesLexSouthCarolina 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      My understanding is that it was Gilmore, not Rogers, who needed the pain meds. As A G correctly states, he compares it to being sick as a child. He is not celebrating drug use in the song.
      I actually remember the first time I heard only two albums: Dark Side of the Moon and Beatles White. I never get sick of seeing and hearing Pink Floyd. I'm near-obsessed!

    He can still play like that; I was fortunate enough to see David Gilmour's solo tour in 2016. He performed this song and many other Pink Floyd classics, along with his solo work. If you ever want to see a more recent performance of his, I suggest 'David Gilmour, Live in Pompeii, Comfortably Numb, 2016' or from the same show, 'In Any Tongue.' As for the Pulse 1994 concert, I suggest checking out 'Sorrow' next; it's got another amazing guitar solo.

There were 47,000 fans at the show, and I had 18th row seats on the floor. In the first half of the show they played their album Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish, and in the second half they played many songs from their recently released album The Division Bell and other popular songs. "Comfortably Numb" was their last song of the second half, and then their encore was "Run Like Hell". You should definitely see the light show for that from this Pulse tour. It was an experience of a lifetime. Also saw them in 1987 on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in Austin. Again, great reaction and cool to see your appreciation for this!!!
