When we built it in 89 at Shea Stadium in NY, it was 155 ft tall , filled the entire outfield and went into the bleachers on both sides. There were close to 100 tractor trailers of Production ( Lights, Sound,Scenery etc) There were 3 complete Steel Stages on the Tour, the one they would be playing on that week, one being built in the next city and one traveling to the venue 2 weeks away.!

      They used 51 semis in order to 'leap-frog' across their North American Tour. For instance, if they were playing in Tampa, 17 semis were there with the staging and support items. At the same time, 17 semis were taking down the Miami concert venue, and, 17 semis were setting up the next concert location in Jacksonville, and so on. THE most incredible concert tour ever accomplished. Years later they put out the video and DVD set filmed from the end of their World Tour in London, called "Pulse". The North American concert was very similar. I had seen them in 1987 at Tampa Stadium, and suggested to my high school students that I was teaching in 1994, that they should see this concert. I went to the concert and was astonished that the '87 show could be made that much more amazing. Then, when teaching classes the following day, a few students came up to me and said, "Thanks a lot coach. We went to that Pink Floyd concert. You've ruined concert-going for us for the rest of our lives......because, we know right now that we will never see anything to top that."

    Any song from the Pulse concert is top tier. With Pink Floyd, nearly any live performance is as good, or better, than the studio version with very few exceptions. "Mother" and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" are the two exceptions that come to mind. If you want to see what David Gilmour can do when he wants to show off a bit, check out :Run Like Hell" from this same concert. It is the second encore behind this song and when you watch it you will understand why they chose it to follow what is probably one of the greatest performances in rock history. I really enjoyed the reaction and subscribed because of it, Rock on.

    Pink Floyd is a journey. I've been a fan for 50+ years.
    This whole concert is epic.
    The song was written by Roger Waters, a founding member of the band who's not in this, about when as a kid and he was really sick and felt comfortably numb being medicated.
    The Prism you're talking about is the cover art from their 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon". Probably one of their most popular albums. It spent an amazing 900, or more, weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 album charts. I know I added to that. Since I bought the original in 1973 I've had a copy on 8-track, cassette and compact disc. Also a half speed Original Master Recording on virgin vinyl and a Super Audio CD of the original master.

      That's the official explanation. But to me, it is Syd's voice talking about his descent into schizophrenia, where he is insulated from life by being "comfortably numb". The guitar solos and the heaviness of the music makes the subject way too important for such a simple event as in that official explanation.

    So glad you fully enjoyed it. This version of that guitar solo is one of the most epic performances of all time.
    The image you're describing is the cover of their 1973 album, Dark Side of the Moon. Some consider it their best, and it is definitely worth sampling tracks from it, if not doing the entire album.

    As a guitar player there are many styles presented by great players very gifted in their particular style technically, but for me personally David Gilmour exhibits the same characteristic which the band has mastered, and that is to resist the tendency to display technical skill in favour of using the guitar to extract emotion from an audience by both a hypnotizing melody and immersing you in a soundscape of passion, and more than often with a highly intellectual social message to drive it all home to be branded on your memory.. I can't count the number of reactions to pink Floyd songs I've watched that brought the host(s) to tears, men, women, old, young.

    Great Gig in the Sky from the same Pulse concert should be next on your listening list. For Comfortably Numb, one of my favourite parts is the camera shot where Gilmour is backlit by the lights and is in shadow - a very powerful image for me.

      The studio version is a masterpiece. Clare Torrey's vocals were incredible. In concert it usually took three vocalists to do what Clare did solo.

    Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour also is known for discovering a very young Kate Bush and supporting her with recording professional demos which then helped her with getting signed to the EMI record label 🙂

    I once played this song to a girlfriend that I had as we drove to a luxurious restaurant. And after listening to it, she turned to me with a bewildered look and asked, "You actually like that song?" That is when I slowly pulled over the vehicle and gently came to a stop. I took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. I then grabbed my door handle and opened my door. I got and calmly made my way over to her side of the vehicle. I gently grabbed her door handle and kindly opened her door for her and nicely said, "Peace Out Girl!" 😂
    So congrats on finding a lovely woman who seems to have enjoyed this masterpiece of music.

      @@tinamakaneole8866 True, but you can't judge by what's "Pop"...Tupac, BIG, NWA, ect. But there are still contemporaries. I personally love both Run the Jewels and The Flobots for their political rap getting back to the roots of Hip-Hop as a political and social force...Hell, Rage Against the Machine is the quintessential blurring of that line...so I try not to write off entire genres just because of what I hear all the time around town...Ever tried J-Rock? In the 80's and 90's Japan fell in love with heavy metal and hair metal...so they basically amped the hair and the metal up to eleven...The band X-Japan is probably the most well known...you can see the influences from GNR, Ozzy, Anthrax, Metallica...all from the perspective of a different culture that is almost the complete opposite being conformist rather than individualist, and it becomes a genre unto itself and basically became standard for many action anime...life sure is complicated, lol...

    I had the chance to see this show two nights in a row during their visit to the Olympic Stadium in Montreal in May 1994.
    What seemed surreal was the atmosphere at the end of the show, the crowd leaving the stadium in an almost surreal calm, as if everyone had become Comfortably Numb.
    People knew they had just witnessed something memorable, grand and unique, and the look of their faces could prove it.

    Pink Floyd has been described as a journey through sonic mastery. They have been one of my favorite bands ever. The song Comfortably Numb is about a person going through a narcotic drug haze and the Comfortable feeling you get after you get from a shot of it. I have never used street narcotics but for surgeries and bad injuries, I have had to have a few shots of it in my life and this song describes the feeling so accurately. I am not recommending that anyone try it to test my experiences. Only under a doctor's orders.

If you really want the full experience of it you must, must, must watch the uncut version as it last 12 minutes not 9. It's from the same concert but the uncut version of it.
