My wife and I saw pink Floyd earls Court 94. Sadly my wife has passed on now. The thought of her and watching the world moving so fast past this guy brings tears to my eyes.
Brother, I don't know what to say...so I'll say this...I've been with my wife for 30 years and I know that if she goes first, I'll know how you feel...I'm sorry that yours left early and my heart breaks for you...but, you do have some excellent memories and for those you are eternally grateful...Shine on you crazy diamond!
I'm halfway through and between the images of the fast paced crowd and those doubledecker buses flashing by and that ambulance's siren laying a remarkable track, this is recording gold! Phenominal talent although wasn't expecting a background track but hey, it's Pink Floyd. In the 1970's they would've had to stop traffic there would've been so many people standing and watching. Bravo!
5:46 was I the only one that noticed that the sirens from the ambulance was right on time and actually sounded good?? 😁 It was a perfect naturally included element to the setting and environment that Miguel is (as always) beautifully playing guitar.
Being 50 now....gray haired, and broken...this takes me back to when I was young...my mother would play pink Floyd..... Hearing this makes my scalp tingle, as tears well up in my eyes. So hauntingly beautiful
swag gaming2106 watch his stairway to heaven version. People walk across the riser he’s on and don’t have a clue what’s happening right in front of them.
Yep totally. A truly sad reflection on how ignorant people have become. Nigel Kennedy proved the point as well. The only solace you can take from it is the 5 % of people that understand and appreciate music and what it brings to our lives.
Let people have lives, for Christ's sake. I hate when people rag on others for not sitting down and watching street performers. As great as this was, you're not entitled to people's attention, and they probably have places to be.
Very professional, skilled, utterley brilliant and world just passes by as he is a nothing, what a world we live in. Who ever recorded this, you've made my day.
I listen with my eyes closed, so painfull to see all those people just passing by. Miquel you deserve a real audience with whom you can share your gift of making Magical music. From Holland I would like to thank you for your posts with these great moments of pure Happiness.
People just walking by. Little did they know this guy would become a now famous guitar player. Still burning it down in 2024 🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥 This guy is like a shooting star ⭐️☄️🔥🎸
The filming/recording and his talented playing is the perfect sync for the very essence of the group and song to me. It's like... Never mind the outside world, it might not even notice you... but your light and beauty is always there so "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" . Drink in, reflect out, resonate with " All That Is " So be it... Amen ❤️
Guys a total genius, how appropriate his talent is being expressed during a song called "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" because this guy is shining and he is an absolute Diamond.
Captpicard so so true my friend one soul crying out to a souless society, screaming out, I exhist , so do you, were just too lost soul in a fishbowl swimming round, year after year
It always amazes me when I see people walking around in their little bubbles, and won't take a minute of time to stop and enjoy the talent someone else is basically offering for free. I've watched other videos of this young man's ability and hope he goes far in the musical field.
The melody plays on, like the fall breeze through the air . The people carrying on with out a stare . The world is amidst a sound that can't be broken even by sirens of the street, for he knows the sound mustn't miss a beat , thank you for sharing your stings of your passion even for those that are missing the action !
Today people are in such a hurry they don’t stop to look around them or listen it’s amazing when you do people! Great performance! David must be proud of you!
not only is this guy an awesome player, but to hear the music bouncing off all the buildings in the city and carrying all over the place is something to experience if you've never heard it before. Too cool.
Respect the Floyd, respect the Floyd ??? Of course !!! Don't try to change what was done by Gilmour, the best is already done yet ! You don't have to improvise or try to do better !
I feel blessed that someone had the inclination to actually spend some time and film this. I also feel blessed that I am not living a life that would push or even allow me to rush around like a rat in maze rather stop and absorb this genius playing. My fingers can't even dream of moving like his. I LOVED THIS!!!! The inability for people to "Stop to smell the roses" makes one wonder how much life is missed in the rush to the grave.
I can't believe that almost anybody isn't even looking what this genius is doing here! People are just passing by! :-( He's got lot's of "Flamenco" in his playing! Absolutely great!
I am not impressed , I am just super impressed ! You just did a real cover of one of the most emblematic progressive rock themes ever . You've stamped your signature with your impressive guitar knowledge and virtuousness .... bless !
I know lots of comments criticising people just walking by but it makes the vid special.....a real feeling of isolation and alienation...one of the most powerful vids I've seen for a while. Those sirens...
Again this evening after a hard week of work. The sound of Miguel performing PINK FLOYD and the video with the live of people and the sound of the street surrounding him. More than great!
Hard work and long hours of practice at the sacrifice of other pleasures can pay off. I can't imagine how much work this young man has invested for it to come out sounding like this. Mind boggling self discipline.
Pink Floyd's music has been such a inspiring part of my life, from teenager smoking reefer, till now, ah, still smoking and listening to this great tale they tell that is somehow my tale, also. Tell 'em 'bout it, Miguel!!
Wow incredible. Life is short take time to appreciate these things and hear someone vent their soul through their instrument. I hope there are more to come.
The original version of this isn't actually too bad to play, I've been using as my main song for practice as an intermediate it's nice and slow but still so much fun. This guy's version is amazing though.
My fellow Floyd fans will love this simply for the song, Shine On You Crazy Diamond... I love this video for the awkward but effective humanity that spills through the view as he plays it in London. ❤️
Amazing. Sooo close to perfect! Ashamed so many people missed out by just walking past. People need to stop and enjoy the great things in life like this moment.
I love to listening to this man and his guitar playing. He is brilliant, he just hit the sound... Keep your passion going Miguel......You are one off few.....
THE greatest Rock Band to ever come out of the U.K. and none of the younger ones seem to recognize this tune. Excellent job man from across the big pond.
This reminds me of an actual Pink Floyd music video. City streets with people just walking by carrying on with life is pretty much what I imagine when listening to the long intro of this song. Great video and performance the way, nicely done.
That guy with the orange bag somewhat resembles modern-day David Gilmour! Hmmm, interesting. And this guy on the guitar is very talented - an honor to watch!
It bothered me that I thought he was filming in portrait, then when he pulled out the other phone, I realised he must be a drug dealer, and his wife has told him to pick up some milk on the way home.
What a mind blowing 😍 performance! Absolute stunning rendition of the evergreen masterpiece. The sound canvas and tone was just perfect!!! Including the sax guitar near surreal mix at the end 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯
If this amazing piece of music can't get the world to stop and appreciate it, we are doomed as the most useless species on the face of the planet. Amazing guitarist right there!
Wow what a superb video. Not only is the guy's playing amazing but the sound recording and camera angle perfect but the background city noise lends perfectly. Not to mention the combination of some people ignoring it like nothing is happening and those stopping to take it in. Its like a masterpiece dropped right in the middle of crazy life. It's almost like it was planned that way, maybe it was.
I am always surprised by the number of people who just walk by such a talented musician. I'm grateful I was born with the gene that enables me to enjoy and appreciate music.
Miguel i think your brilliant and you have the heart and soul for music that just takes you somewhere else and you playing it in such an iconic busy place in london i could sit their all day listening to you and i would block out all the noise around me and only here you. if only more people took the time out of their busy lives and stopped and listen even for a 10 mins i am sure they will also feel a lot calmer and les stressful. thanks for sharing.

And here's this lone spirit playing the most wonderful music of Floyd in amongst it all, blissfully unaware, unconcerned with the madness around him, just as the madness around is unconcerned with him.
All the sound engineers and mixers needed to make Gilmour and Knopfler sound the way they do, and this dude does it all by himself, with a pretty modest guitar, and very little sound equipment. I've seen quite a few of the street guitarists on youtube, and no doubt they are some of the greatest guitarists out there.
Doug Hendrixson With all due respect technology has come along way with all those effects now housed in tiny boxes and relatively cheap which were not available back in the day.And if they were ,they were hideously expensive or limited to studio setups.I have basically got what he has hereDelay,overdrive,wah and most likely a looper all for under a grand.And decent guitars and amps are cheap now not the crap I first had in the 70s.This is not to take away anything whatsoever from his performance which is superb.I do solo performances which are so much easier thanks to technology.You still need talent though lol
Alan Parson, the engineer behind DSOTM and legendary songwriter himself, has commented on how easy it is to do things in the studio now compared to back then
"a modest guitar"? That is a Gibson Les Paul, and quite a fine piece of equipment. I cannot guess what it cost, nor does it matter--it is far from a "modest" guitar--
@@JohnJones-ps9fo Definitely not a Gibson Les Paul, but stand corrected on it being modest due to the pickups: www.modernmojoguitars.com/miguel-montalban-londons-busker-extraordinaire/
@@DUGGER1947 Please accept my apologies--you may be correct on this video--but, he is clearly seen on other videos playing a Gibson Les Paul edition, clearly marked at the head--I have no clue how many other guitars this man owns or has access to--in no way does the quality of the guitar detract from his skill as a musician. Another "critic" commented that he "over plays" sometimes--perhaps that is also tru, but I would have to believe that he is simply trying to make people notice his performances and his expertise while he is playing in an arena where people seem to be completely ignorant of what he is doing.
Dude needs a band. He’s so talented most wouldn’t recognize just walking by, though some did. I’m not sure what PRS he was playing but he made it sing. You could tell some sat there stunned. Incredible talent.
Yes, not only did so many of those passers-by miss a brilliant rendition of a Pink Floyd classic, Miguel Montalban is no ordinary street performer, he's a highly successful musician in his own right.
The fact, that people are passing by just like that, proves we have failed as a human society. A shame to both the musician and the song. Flawless performance
They wouldve stopped if he played a kim Kardashian or Taylor swift song or whatever the hell those guys are. People just cant appreciate good music anymore
Absolutely awesome. people walk past as if in such a hurry, how can they not notice/acknowledge this guitar genius? Well I suppose the answer is because most people are tone deaf! what a shame more don't appreciate what they are seeing and hearing.
this Miguel Montalban is fabulous absolutely fabulous Miguel find it in your heart to come up to Wisconsin and you've got to play some concert gigs up here man you are sensational
stupid people wouldnt even stop if it was Mr. Gilmour himself. This dude is amazing!!!!! Good thing I dont see him on my way to work in the mornings cause I'd be late every day.
The street is such an organic place. The settings street performers play in makes them look so isolated. Dude the sirens sounded good. Matching the cry of the axe.
The people walking past without even noticing were probably all in a rush to get home and watch a bunch of dogs jumping through hoops on Britain's Got Talent, without any idea of what real talent actually is.
And the song haunts and echoes thru Gray London bringing the soul of Syd back if only for a minute, floating above in the clouds. That's how I see it at least.
My wife and I saw pink Floyd earls Court 94. Sadly my wife has passed on now. The thought of her and watching the world moving so fast past this guy brings tears to my eyes.

also the steam from the bus at 2:32
The universe tends to unfold as it should.

hope she is still there with you listening to great music...

I grew up with this. It was my introduction to Floyd Music.
@@marcuskeulertz5852 yeah Floyd music is spiritual for sure....not in a religious context, but poeple that listen to it....."get it"
You are not "broken" my friend, we are all connected in this space and time, "Shine on you crazy Diamond"!
Are you fekking kidding me? I would have been utterly transfixed standing there listening and enjoying the show. People are clueless.
swag gaming2106 watch his stairway to heaven version. People walk across the riser he’s on and don’t have a clue what’s happening right in front of them.

I love the music amidst all the chaos. The kids running, the ambulance. It’s like time is going but it’s standing still at the same time.
This is PURE talent!
Very professional, skilled, utterley brilliant and world just passes by as he is a nothing, what a world we live in. Who ever recorded this, you've made my day.
@Sean PA It's just an awkward situation to be in if you don't understand the gravity of his amazing ability.

@@fpereira77 that may be true, but it does not explaine the ignorance of so many people. Tell them to ware masks and they will wear masks.
So much soul.. What a great tone. Its a pity that only few care to stop and listen.
I could never walk pass this without stopping. It is different yet the same. Miguel surely knows his way around the guitar & having a sense of style.

The world is amidst a sound that can't be broken even by sirens of the street, for he knows the sound mustn't miss a beat , thank you for sharing your stings of your passion even for those that are missing the action !

Today people are in such a hurry they don’t stop to look around them or listen it’s amazing when you do people! Great performance! David must be proud of you!
Excellent footage. Great guitar playing on the mall . Thank you.
This one in particular is quite surreal, it's like he's frozen in time while the world is flowing around him
Now I like that comment. That is absolutely brilliant!
+Leguan Vopich. I agree. These busker videos of Miguel are fascinating !
It’s so spaceyy bro hah
It could almost be a professional music video with just a little editing to really highlight the contrast there...
Exactly.
not only is this guy an awesome player, but to hear the music bouncing off all the buildings in the city and carrying all over the place is something to experience if you've never heard it before. Too cool.

guess they got things to do,,,
This young man is incredible. An amazing talent, there should be nothing but positive comments here on his performance.
It's the older guys that really appreciate it. That was their time, mine too.

Very impressive performance...a starway to cosmos !..Thanks Miguel...go ahead !

It sounds good! Probably not as good there. In my town he would have been robbed and battered within hours. Its a shame!
nobody listen pink floyd in theese days T_T
Me to, Id be hitting up an ATM to tip him
Professor Snape really outdid himself in this one... Truly magical performance!
there is a depth, an old soul in this young man, he is incredible..keep it up..you are making London a much better place..

I feel so sorry for this amazing guy that he performs on the street, he deserves to play in a stadium filled with millions of people
Dude needs a band. He’s so talented most wouldn’t recognize just walking by, though some did. I’m not sure what PRS he was playing but he made it sing. You could tell some sat there stunned. Incredible talent.
Yes, not only did so many of those passers-by miss a brilliant rendition of a Pink Floyd classic, Miguel Montalban is no ordinary street performer, he's a highly successful musician in his own right.
OMG, I could listen to this guy all day long. What a talent! A talent worth millions of dollars!!
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Well played !!!excellent.
The fact, that people are passing by just like that, proves we have failed as a human society. A shame to both the musician and the song.
Flawless performance
Please don't judge.
They wouldve stopped if he played a kim Kardashian or Taylor swift song or whatever the hell those guys are. People just cant appreciate good music anymore
People need to get to the nearest Vet and get your ears vacuumed.
@@fatehgyani119what kind of people are you. Time to visit Spec's then visit the Vet and get your ears vacuumed.
@@williampercival7662 it's TRUE though! People eont listen to good music anymore!
Beautiful music 🎶 man! Thanks for sharing. I got mesmerized.
Saw Montalban in October 2019, my advice is for anyone who can see this kid and his band do not miss it.
He played this song unbelievable extra perfect.❤️thanks
It's like meditation 🧘♂️ listening this... Loving it 🙏
Thank you
Absolutely awesome. people walk past as if in such a hurry, how can they not notice/acknowledge this guitar genius? Well I suppose the answer is because most people are tone deaf! what a shame more don't appreciate what they are seeing and hearing.
Not tone deaf, just so self absorbed with their shit. Nothing lives
Perhaps a few judicious "way-oh way-oh"s' may have slowed them down :P
One of those rare videos that you don't skip and watch till the end tnx for the upload
this Miguel Montalban is fabulous absolutely fabulous Miguel find it in your heart to come up to Wisconsin and you've got to play some concert gigs up here man you are sensational
The perfect soundtrack to everything going on around him.
stupid people wouldnt even stop if it was Mr. Gilmour himself. This dude is amazing!!!!! Good thing I dont see him on my way to work in the mornings cause I'd be late every day.
Me too!! I wish this guy lived in my backyard!!
Ditto. If I walked past this guy on my way to lunch, I'd have nothing to eat AND be late getting back to work.
I would never come to work;)
this guy is AWESOME! if you shut your eyes and listen, those sirens added a nice effect!
Sirens just went with it perfectly. Makes it more real.
I first thought that they were added in the playback, cause i wasnt watching the vid
I thought that same thing!
Morgan Freeman no one care about a nigga opinion.He is fucking amazing.
wow
It made my day too. What a talent! .. and " the world just passes by as he is a nothing" -- how precisely right you are!
The street is such an organic place. The settings street performers play in makes them look so isolated. Dude the sirens sounded good. Matching the cry of the axe.
Eres 1 grande Miguel ..te sigo desde tus primeros videos ..excelente guitarrista..orgullo chileno..
Amazing job dude! David Gilmour would be proud of you. Thank you, for keeping Classic Rock alive.
The people walking past without even noticing were probably all in a rush to get home and watch a bunch of dogs jumping through hoops on Britain's Got Talent, without any idea of what real talent actually is.
And the song haunts and echoes thru Gray London bringing the soul of Syd back if only for a minute, floating above in the clouds. That's how I see it at least.
Or maybe they had shit to do
XD so true
@@marcelerystick7416 Yea, like shopping and blowing money!! ...just like most humans! ...something they don't really need to be doing!
@@1cjadefox they also don't need to be watching a street performer
Super talented and soulful. Love his tones as well. BZ!!!
A community of people who are indifferent to a person who does his job so well. The world is getting more and more callous.
