@@michaelpage2151 nothin worse than losin dad .... mom and dad really , but a son and his dad are a tight bond .... My dad was the best friend I have ever ever had or will ever have on this Earth
If you watch the whole DVD, the drummer spends pretty much the entire time looking extremely pleased about the fact he's on stage with David Gilmour. Funny thing is that he'd been performing with Gilmour for years - I've seen footage from the previous decade with the same drummer. But maybe the novelty of performing with a Godlike Genius never wears off.
You'll love this then - I happened to recognize the same drummer backing Don Felder on Hotel California in this video. th-cam.com/video/8kIJEUUH40Q/w-d-xo.html I thought to myself, this dude backed up on two songs with probably the greatest guitar solos of all time! Pretty awesome.
No pretension, no grandstanding, no showing off. He doesn't even try to look cool. Yet Gilmour in his jeans and t-shirt looks cooler and sounds better than any other guitarist out there. And all he's doing is standing there and delivering the most incredible solo of all time. How much professionalism do you want? All of it!
I was thinking the same thing. Yup. Gilmour and the whole band are not there to show off, they are there to deliver. And they do. I recently visited an exhibition on Pink Floyd, and the last room of the tour showed a movie of PF in concert, playing Comfortably Numb, but with the sound in earphones only. And there they were, 20 or so people of all ages and conditions, watching like hypnotized, who suddenly chanted all together : "... and I have become... comfortably numb." Uncanny.
He is the main reason I try to play guitar. I started learning at 12 years old, now I'm 43 and still nowhere near a fraction of his talent. The sounds he gets out of a stratocaster is amazing, don't get me wrong I love Hendrix and SRV but Mr. Gilmore really knows how to compose a song and add touches at the right spot
For me it that sumup the video itself. You can't explain what is to play with a unique genuius, you just smile and enjoy that unique moment. With no doubt: David Gilmour is for us what Beethoven was for his time and all the Music. One thousand years will pass and humanity - if it still exist - will listen, talk and deify this man. May God bless him and give us the honor and privilege to have him between for a long long time!
That drummer has actually been a long time collaborator of David Gilmour. You can see him in his On The Island tours (search Remember that Night), so he is by no means unfamiliar with his performances. To him, its just another day of work, a job he has great passion about.
I nearly had a cardiac arrest when the solo was cut short, I'm absolutely lost for words, yeah, we know that ads get you paid, but for fucks sake, have you no shame. You are getting a dislike from me! Please let it be known, I love mr DG more than any other musician,( apart from Dave Grohl.)hey, hang on, they have the same initials, oh shit, this isn't going too well is it.
He was 70 during the Rattle That Lock tour, which is where this film comes from. I am pretty certain that at 76 now he can still rock the hell out of this song. Respect!
Sorry, there is no Rock and Roll heaven. Heaven will be nothing like earth, heaven is where a Holy God rules and all who go there will be mesmerized by His presence for eternity. We will not be numb, but truly alive, for we will never die. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, prepare your soul, do not get too wrapped up in worldly things, but seek the Lord while he can be found. This is soon to become the reality of things, and it will make the greatest of things down here now, seem like vanity.
Dear God, there is something really monumental about that solo. It's like being the last man alive standing at the very top of the mountain watching the whole world coming to an end. And you know you are not afraid to die, because the power and eternity lies within you.
Solo is just magic. No tapping, no speed picking just for the sake of playing fast, no divebombs. Just emotion, talent & class. Extraordinary. Will last for all time.
61 and still goes all "air guitar" on the steering wheel...this man is timeless. My two sons, both fathers too, still listen to his work...has spanned a generation here in Canada. Well done Sir.
Usually, when a band plays their last song, the public goes "we want more, we want more". But when THIS is the final song everybody understands nothing can come next. We have reached the gates of heaven, passed through, had a taste of what that feels like, and then come back, realizing we have heard the best version of the best guitar solo ever.
A few years ago I asked who was playing drums on the Loggins and Messina song Angry Eyes in concert. And then I came across this and that answered my question. Steve is a hell of a drummer.
There is an interview with him (Steve DiStanislao) in the documentary [Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine] where he says he feels like he won the lottery by playing with Gilmour. =)
This is absolutely THE FINEST performance of Comfortably Numb I’ve ever seen and heard. Better than Pulse, Better than The Wall. This man is almost 70 years old and pulled out the most SOULFUL solo performance in history. So moving. So emotional. The entire concert is flawless.
I agree with you mate. The finest performance of the second solo, but also his tone was on another level. I’m sure the setting of the performance also played a big part.
@Frank F Your playing is good but you werent even close to playing it clean. Especially the small things like vibrato and harmonics. Playing exactly like him is extremly hard.
Imagine standing there in an ancient Roman amphitheater, during the first public performance in that amphitheater since the year 79, while David Gilmour rips Comfortably Numb. That has to be one of the coolest performances in history.
Strats, man. You gotta to listen to some more players who *really* know how to work with that Fender single coil sound. Start with Hendrix... his most famous stuff (Purple Haze, Fire, Wind Cries Mary, etc) actually aren't the best examples of what he could do. Try Little Wing, Bold as Love (original and instrumental jam version), Voodoo Child, Somewhere, Star Spangled Banner, and his intro to his cover of Like a Rolling Stone at Monterey Pop in '67. Next, I personally recommend certain Pearl Jam songs... Mike McCreedy is a personal favorite of mine: the outro of "Alive" and "Yellow Ledbetter" (studio versions of both) were what made me love the guitar. His live mashup of Little Wing / Maggot Brain is legendary stuff (which reminds me--definitely listen to the original Maggot Brain by Eddie Hazel, and don't be put off by the title.) Pearl Jam's live version of "Black" in Prague, 2017 is also *extremely* good stuff. I'm also a big fan of Cobain's guitar work--it really shows off and makes use of Fender overtones, albeit he didn't really do guitar solos. (A lot of people swear by Stevie Ray Vaughan as well, who was a huge Hendrix fan himself, though I personally think that while he was good, he didn't quite have the expressiveness that the truly top tier single coil players have.) If I had to pick just one from the above list... man that is hard, but I'm gonna say start with Eddie Hazel's Maggot Brain if you want to hear a guitar 'howl in pain and scream for mercy' from almost the very start of the song.
@@andycatone Hope you like it. It's on TH-cam. I admit the second half of the song is kinda spacey, not quite as good as the first half, but the first half is just... I mean... the most astonishing part about it is supposedly he improvised the whole damn thing in one take after someone said "imagine you just found out your mother died." If you do like it, I just remembered John Frusciante (of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame) did a sort of spiritual sequel to it called Before the Beginning that was pretty good.
It is the best solo, no argument! I mean I’m 67 and was lucky enough to see Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Santana twice a few more don’t want to get carried away but David Gilmore and PF unfortunately I never got to see them But! Geez I think Rolling Stone has David Gilmore like at # 14 greatest of all time they were smoking some bad stuff that day IMHO he’s top 5 or 3 he is one of the great musical wonders of our time.
"The child has grown, the dream is gone." Sadly that describes many of our lives as we age. At least I can still immerse myself in this stunning music!!!
@@StuKaBomberas a drummer who has played with some great other musicians (no big names, but people who were legitimately good), I know exactly (almost) how that guy is feeling right now. I play multiple instruments, but playing live as a drummer is so rewarding. You start out maintaining tempo and rhythm, but when a solo not even close to as good as this begins you start to just follow the guitar and you’re jamming to their playing rather them following yours. With every change in melody, you change your beat and just get a chance to really enjoy and rock out to the music. It feels almost like an improv dance you’re doing and it’s ecstasy, but you’re part of it. That guy reached Nirvana and could’ve died right then and there with no regrets.
Magnificent, I listen to David at least once a day for the past 20 years he keeps giving me a reason to love music 🎵❤ sadly water's concert are like karaoke.
I know there are millions of guitar solos, but this is the only one, the only one that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. My personal favourite thank you so much Long live to David Gilmour
As an old musician, there is a lesson to everyone here aspiring to understand why this is considered iconic. The era of blues based guitarists has become an after thought these days. But, one lesson remains true. When you play the blues, especially when you play your solos, you play the notes as if the notes are being sung. Play your solos as if someone is singing the notes.. you'll understand why!
I don’t even know how many times I have heard this solo. From 4:33 to 8:36. It makes my eyes moist and gives me goosebumps most of the time. ABSOLUTE BLISS! Thanks David❤
Ich bin auch 65.... es gibt nichts schöneres. Meine Frau, Kinder und Enkel ausgenommen. Diese Musik ist Genial, Gilmor ist der Beste, Pink Floyd for ever.......
First listened Pink Floyd in 1986, when I was 15. We had to pay extra money for their recordings to get them under table, because Pink Floyd was forbidden in the Soviet Union. 33 years since then and I never tired, every time goosebumps when l hear that guitar solo. Absolutely incredible version of the , probably, best guitar solo of all times. David Gilmore is like good wine, getting better with years. Thank you very much, Sir, for all you have brought to our lives.
@@user-in4gp5ui8i В 1983 году у Пинк Флойд вышел альбом Final Cut. В нем есть песня Get your filthy hands off my desert. В ней есть строка "Брежнев взял Афганистан". Вот из-за этого. Хотя, конечно, никто и ничего не был обязан мотивировать. Просто сверху спустили указание. В студии звукозаписи говорили что группа запрещена, но левые деньги хотели все, поэтому , если тебя знали или доверяли, то все равно можно было купить запись. Вообще-то, было много запрещенных групп. И Nazareth, и AC/DC, и мало ли кто ещё.
I am 75 and a child of the 60s where for ME each day ,month or year musically felt like Christmas ! New groups ,songs and Albums pushing the boundaries and making these GREAT❤ songs WE still listen to today !! The gift on our fingertips that keeps on giving 60+ years later 😮❤❤
This is not a simple song. It is a journey into the depths of being human and coming back fully reborn and at peace with the world. I will never be able to express the immense gratitude I feel to have been able to listen to this marvel.
I don't understand those who prefer recording this masterpiece in their cheap mobile phones, instead of living that extraordinary moment at its best. Don't you see all the professional cameras around? Let them do their job and you enjoy the moment.
@@mircolarsen8588 thats a huge moments in a lifetime, of course im gonna spread it in my social media..not everyone had luck to experience that moments
I must have listened to the final solo more than a hundred times, and it still gives me the same chills as when I heard it for the first time. I can't imagine what it must have felt like to be there. Long live the maestro! ♥
I was privileged to be there that day ... unforgettable! All in all, the best guitar solo of the History of Mankind. It should be on every spaceship that we send out towards Heaven and the stars. If no-one is watching me, I will still let tears get to my eyes remembering a very personal event that I associate to this song.
You have been so lucky to be there that day... I cannot say of much I love this guitar solo. His guitar tone is absolutely heavenly. God bless you, sir. Greetings from France.
That solo cuts to the heart of reality, rips apart the fabric of the universe, and stitches it back together effortlessly on the comeback. Never played the same twice, but Gilmour taps into his endless reserves of unadulterated emotion every time.
never will be sick of it. There is something so deep about it... very rarely does a musical piece just touch something deep within you when you just stare blankly and listen. This will always do that, no matter the day, the year, the season... it always touches your soul
There is a reason why this solo has been the greatest for over 40 years ... nothing beats it... Huge salute to the maestro Gilmour for creating such a masterpiece.
This is for future generations; never ever will you be able to hear better music like this, created by David Gilmore and Pink Floyd. We were blessed growing up during the time music was revolutionized!!! Half a century ago this was created, and I still love listening to the amazing guitar solos David is playing. This music is without doubt TIMELESS!!!!
As a hardcore Pink Floyd fan for more than 30 years, listening to their music almost every day including several live performances I always have to come back to this iteration of „Comfortably numb“ as for me it is the best of all ever performed. Not only the perfection of the solo but also the joy of David‘s fellow musicians, knowing that they are writing history at that very moment, will give me chills for the rest of my life.

The best guitar play/solo in the world. Got the LP in 1980 ❤
PRINCE IN NEW YORK ( SYRACUSE ) WITH PURPLE RAIN 19 MIN PURE GOLD
I never heard a guitar howl in pain and scream for mercy like that before. The man is a legend.
❤
Strats, man. You gotta to listen to some more players who *really* know how to work with that Fender single coil sound. Start with Hendrix... his most famous stuff (Purple Haze, Fire, Wind Cries Mary, etc) actually aren't the best examples of what he could do. Try Little Wing, Bold as Love (original and instrumental jam version), Voodoo Child, Somewhere, Star Spangled Banner, and his intro to his cover of Like a Rolling Stone at Monterey Pop in '67. Next, I personally recommend certain Pearl Jam songs... Mike McCreedy is a personal favorite of mine: the outro of "Alive" and "Yellow Ledbetter" (studio versions of both) were what made me love the guitar. His live mashup of Little Wing / Maggot Brain is legendary stuff (which reminds me--definitely listen to the original Maggot Brain by Eddie Hazel, and don't be put off by the title.) Pearl Jam's live version of "Black" in Prague, 2017 is also *extremely* good stuff. I'm also a big fan of Cobain's guitar work--it really shows off and makes use of Fender overtones, albeit he didn't really do guitar solos.
(A lot of people swear by Stevie Ray Vaughan as well, who was a huge Hendrix fan himself, though I personally think that while he was good, he didn't quite have the expressiveness that the truly top tier single coil players have.)
If I had to pick just one from the above list... man that is hard, but I'm gonna say start with Eddie Hazel's Maggot Brain if you want to hear a guitar 'howl in pain and scream for mercy' from almost the very start of the song.
@@vigilante8374 looks like I'm gonna listen to Eddie Hazel now👍
@@andycatone Hope you like it. It's on TH-cam. I admit the second half of the song is kinda spacey, not quite as good as the first half, but the first half is just... I mean... the most astonishing part about it is supposedly he improvised the whole damn thing in one take after someone said "imagine you just found out your mother died."
If you do like it, I just remembered John Frusciante (of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame) did a sort of spiritual sequel to it called Before the Beginning that was pretty good.
Recommend to hear Pearl Jam - Black Live on Prague.. The solo is very powerfull aswell. Shit hurts the soul
The greatest guitar solo in history, I don't care what anyone else says.
No 1
everybody says it is the best, so you don't have to care.
Facts
I agree 100%
It is the best solo, no argument! I mean I’m 67 and was lucky enough to see Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Santana twice a few more don’t want to get carried away but David Gilmore and PF unfortunately I never got to see them But! Geez I think Rolling Stone has David Gilmore like at # 14 greatest of all time they were smoking some bad stuff that day IMHO he’s top 5 or 3 he is one of the great musical wonders of our time.
Every time David plays this song, he somehow manages to make it sound like it’s the first time you’ve heard it and just blows you away.
"The child has grown, the dream is gone." Sadly that describes many of our lives as we age. At least I can still immerse myself in this stunning music!!!
Quite probably the best guitar solo. Ever. In the history of the universe.
I agree 💯👍

Agree
Your mate from Jupiter:)
Yeah, plus the feeling which is put in this musical art
all of us here in Mars agree!
Drummer - happiest guy in the world for those 9 minutes
mushrooms LOL
Steve McManaman on drums. Great footballer and drummer.
@@mkinttrimI think only music is able to achieve this feeling the drummer had but I guess mushrooms are also a good explanation lmao
@@StuKaBomberas a drummer who has played with some great other musicians (no big names, but people who were legitimately good), I know exactly (almost) how that guy is feeling right now. I play multiple instruments, but playing live as a drummer is so rewarding. You start out maintaining tempo and rhythm, but when a solo not even close to as good as this begins you start to just follow the guitar and you’re jamming to their playing rather them following yours. With every change in melody, you change your beat and just get a chance to really enjoy and rock out to the music. It feels almost like an improv dance you’re doing and it’s ecstasy, but you’re part of it. That guy reached Nirvana and could’ve died right then and there with no regrets.
@@richardhendersen5418 Muy buena descripcion👏👏👏🙌🙌
This is the best guitar solo in Rock history!! Hands down!!!
Magnificent, I listen to David at least once a day for the past 20 years he keeps giving me a reason to love music 🎵❤ sadly water's concert are like karaoke.
Yes the best ever. End of argument 😊
I really enjoy Slash's guitar solo in Sweet Child of Mine
Sliding guitar solo from high hopes comes close
Agreed
I know there are millions of guitar solos, but this is the only one, the only one that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
My personal favourite thank you so much
Long live to David Gilmour
Agree 500%.
The drummer is digging the jam and literally knows he's involved in a piece of history that you can never get back. David Gilmour is unrivaled!
He's still smiling.
The drummers absolutely having the time of his life absolutely awesome
th-cam.com/video/Wc1X4fb4bOg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AzizBenSalem
Well put....
EXACTLY
without doubts, the best solo i've ever heard! who's still listinging in 2021?
I hope I'll listen it in 2061+ too :)
Listening 2777
Always.
Me! Never bored of this can listen every single day
almost everyday! heard it thousands of times and still brings me to a place only tears can describe!
Gilmour writes poems with his solos, he doesn’t run like hell with them. He takes his time, and she enjoys every note.. what a musician.
Nice pun there
Best guitar player of all time.
As an old musician, there is a lesson to everyone here aspiring to understand why this is considered iconic.
The era of blues based guitarists has become an after thought these days. But, one lesson remains true. When you play the blues, especially when you play your solos, you play the notes as if the notes are being sung.
Play your solos as if someone is singing the notes.. you'll understand why!
This drummer will never be out of work. The perfect professional to play behind a big name and a great rock solo.
Don't care what anyone else says; "Comfortably Numb" is the GREATEST song EVER written!!
The guitar solos are unbelievable!
Gilmour is a Legend!
🎸
I think by playing this solo he is no longer a Legend! He is God. He is fucking God.
I don’t even know how many times I have heard this solo. From 4:33 to 8:36. It makes my eyes moist and gives me goosebumps most of the time. ABSOLUTE BLISS! Thanks David❤
Try to hear the Polland concert. If this lift you to the clouds, the one in Polland is awesome and unique... No version sounds like it... Believe me
The young drummer knew exactly what he was witnessing an playing with a legend --the smiles never stopped!! Bravo
The "young" drummer is Steve DiStanislao who was 53 years old at that time fyi. 😂
@@SJYu0804 Well, I'll be 63 in May, so yeah. He's a "young" drummer. =D
@@MThrow if you say so
The ad didn't show up during the solo for me. I truly am blessed.
Been listening to this since early teens am now 65. will listen until my last heart beat.
Ich bin auch 65.... es gibt nichts schöneres. Meine Frau, Kinder und Enkel ausgenommen.
Diese Musik ist Genial, Gilmor ist der Beste, Pink Floyd for ever.......
First listened Pink Floyd in 1986, when I was 15. We had to pay extra money for their recordings to get them under table, because Pink Floyd was forbidden in the Soviet Union. 33 years since then and I never tired, every time goosebumps when l hear that guitar solo. Absolutely incredible version of the , probably, best guitar solo of all times. David Gilmore is like good wine, getting better with years. Thank you very much, Sir, for all you have brought to our lives.
Dreaming Traveller, а чем запрет мотивировали? За какие-то тексты?
@@user-in4gp5ui8i В 1983 году у Пинк Флойд вышел альбом Final Cut. В нем есть песня Get your filthy hands off my desert. В ней есть строка "Брежнев взял Афганистан". Вот из-за этого. Хотя, конечно, никто и ничего не был обязан мотивировать. Просто сверху спустили указание. В студии звукозаписи говорили что группа запрещена, но левые деньги хотели все, поэтому , если тебя знали или доверяли, то все равно можно было купить запись. Вообще-то, было много запрещенных групп. И Nazareth, и AC/DC, и мало ли кто ещё.
Dreaming Traveller, спасибо
. Я их пластинку купил в СССР В КОНЦЕ 80- -ЫХ. Не было запрета
@@Angry743 наверно потому что уже перестроечное предразвальное время
Yes, i am a grown man. Yes, i am crying! Yes, i connect with music on a cosmic level and i can assure you, Pompei witnessed The God on stage that day!
Definition of the term 'lead guitar' - leading the band, front and centre, bold and unhurried, every note clear and precise, pure majesty.
I am 75 and a child of the 60s where for ME each day ,month or year musically felt like Christmas ! New groups ,songs and Albums pushing the boundaries and making these GREAT❤ songs WE still listen to today !! The gift on our fingertips that keeps on giving 60+ years later 😮❤❤
That cut to the drummer during the second solo, you can tell he knows he is experiencing, and being part of, something incredibly special.
hes freaking loving it, its great to see
This is not a simple song.
It is a journey into the depths of being human and coming back fully reborn and at peace with the world.
I will never be able to express the immense gratitude I feel to have been able to listen to this marvel.
paneleirices
Keep going Aserento,..✌️
couldn't have said better myself
Beautifully said
Powerful, beautiful words Aseranto
I don't understand those who prefer recording this masterpiece in their cheap mobile phones, instead of living that extraordinary moment at its best. Don't you see all the professional cameras around? Let them do their job and you enjoy the moment.
😂true
I prefer to keep recording with my phone for later showing off in my social media, but my eyes straight focus on gilmour and the solo
@@daimyo8216 Stop showing off on social media! 🙀
@@daimyo8216 Showing off for what?
@@mircolarsen8588 thats a huge moments in a lifetime, of course im gonna spread it in my social media..not everyone had luck to experience that moments
I must have listened to the final solo more than a hundred times, and it still gives me the same chills as when I heard it for the first time.
I can't imagine what it must have felt like to be there.
Long live the maestro! ♥
Listening to this a lot during lockdown. Thinking of Italy and hoping there’ll be moments like this again one day.
Same here.
yeah. I hear ya.
I would stand in a crowd of 10,000 infected people and knowingly subject myself to sickness just to see David play once.
thanks bro. hope the best for you too
There will be god bless Italy 🇮🇹 xx
The solo of this song gives me chills every time. Just perfection.
This solo gives a Heavenly feel❤️😌
This was considered one of the top guitar solo in history. Chills every time I listen to this song.
comfortably numb lites up stairway to heaven
Is considered.
It still is my bro!
Top 3 is probably Comfortably numb, stairway to heaven and hotel california. No particular order.
Don’t forget Sultans of Swing . Mark Knopfler at his best.
We are blessed !! 😢
Thank you David Gilmour for sharing your gifts ……..
I was privileged to be there that day ... unforgettable!
All in all, the best guitar solo of the History of Mankind. It should be on every spaceship that we send out towards Heaven and the stars.
If no-one is watching me, I will still let tears get to my eyes remembering a very personal event that I associate to this song.
Amazing...the child is grown...the dream is gone....
You have been so lucky to be there that day... I cannot say of much I love this guitar solo. His guitar tone is absolutely heavenly.
God bless you, sir.
Greetings from France.
Yes, this seems to be the best solo of them all and the version of sorrow.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very jealous....
Gilmour doesn't plug his strat into the amp he plugs his soul into the amp. It's the only way to explain this other worldly solo
That solo cuts to the heart of reality, rips apart the fabric of the universe, and stitches it back together effortlessly on the comeback. Never played the same twice, but Gilmour taps into his endless reserves of unadulterated emotion every time.
You sir are a writer and a poet. I love the way you described Gilmour's guitar playing.
John jayne and Dad. Mum gone miss u always Karen
Quite eloquent my friend
Not taking away from this, but Mark Knopfler is that way with Telegraph Road.
@@MrBigrobmjca3 Agree 1000%
Just close your eyes and enjoy while your soul gets goosebumps
Who else is listening to this again, again and again? So beautiful and great!
And again and again...
I just rewind it over and over. A masterpiece.
And again and again and again and again and again and again... Untill i die... almoust 40 now!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got it on DVD, CD and Vinyl😅 so awesome
Can you checkup my Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - Cover on my channel?
Just one click and it'll be there.
Apreciate it if you can help ❤️
I never tire of this song. David Gilmour must be the greatest guitarist of his generation. Magnificent.
Of ALL generations
In my humble opinion, David Gilmour is in a league of his own. By far the greatest player in history!
I love this so much. I just hope my neighbours do, too.
Two days before my 60th birthday I will always love this guitar
You know a guitar solo is fckn EPIC when its this long yet you are not sick of it.. 🔥🔥🔥
On voudrait que jamais ça s'arrête
Truth!!
never will be sick of it. There is something so deep about it... very rarely does a musical piece just touch something deep within you when you just stare blankly and listen. This will always do that, no matter the day, the year, the season... it always touches your soul
Everyone talking about the solo. Everyone's talking about the voice. For all this time it's been the same. Beautiful. No other choice.
4:30 The beginning of the Second Solo has so much emotion built into it. Its my favorite part. Makes a grown man cry.
Gives me chills every single time
My 12 year old boy was rocking to this in his room. I did good.
This has got to be one of the BEST live guitar solos in history!!
yes it is
I would say so that old fucker getting it love it
It's THE BEST!!! :)
I agree that
It. Is. The. Solo.
There is a reason why this solo has been the greatest for over 40 years ... nothing beats it... Huge salute to the maestro Gilmour for creating such a masterpiece.
I can name one that sounds like it was influenced by this one: the guitar solo at the end of Love Is As Good As Soma, by Tiamat.
@@DangardsBrain hell yeah. That whole album has hints of pink floyd here and there
There are guitarists...there are rockstars...and then there is SIR DAVID GILMOUR....!
@@joseeduardoporcher167 doesn't matter. He called it out of respect
Can you checkup my Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - Cover on my channel?
Just one click and it'll be there.
Apreciate it if you can help ❤️
This is for future generations; never ever will you be able to hear better music like this, created by David Gilmore and Pink Floyd. We were blessed growing up during the time music was revolutionized!!! Half a century ago this was created, and I still love listening to the amazing guitar solos David is playing. This music is without doubt TIMELESS!!!!
If the solos of this song doesnt touch your soul then you are not human
Music peaked here, there's nothing better than this solo
It's the best solo of all time in my opinion...
Creates the full hand of emotion: goosebumps, lump in the throat, scrunched eyes, permanent smile, thumping heart, unbelievable joy
I thought it was just me
You read my mind Kevin.
The sound of the solo is unreal
As a hardcore Pink Floyd fan for more than 30 years, listening to their music almost every day including several live performances I always have to come back to this iteration of „Comfortably numb“ as for me it is the best of all ever performed. Not only the perfection of the solo but also the joy of David‘s fellow musicians, knowing that they are writing history at that very moment, will give me chills for the rest of my life.
