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!
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.
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.
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 ⭐️☄️🔥🎸
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.
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
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 !
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!
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 !
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
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.
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!
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 ❤️
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.....
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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. ❤️
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.
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.
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!
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.
This footage is somehow the perfect image of London. The hustle and bustle and constant chaos and nonsense, people rushing about. 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.
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.
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.
Wow ….why are you people walking past this amazing talent ! I am a huge fan of floyd and this is an amazing solo with such in depth recognition for changes in the tune !! Where is he now I’ll sign him up
@@jasperkensington2644 Very strange thing just happened. I am watching FUNNIEST Fails Compilation August 2018 on you tube, I was 3.04 mins into this youtube post when "wish you were here" started to play in the video. At the exact same time the song started off Your notification popped up on my screen. Very Strange. by the I am a die hard Pink Floyd Fanatic.
@@caseyjones3684 What happened to you is called "synchronicity", Carl Jung writes a lot about it, look it up, you will like it if u recognize such things.
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.
Como viejo fanático de Pink Floyd, y tengo 61 años, nunca había escuchado tal actuación. Eres genial Pido disculpas por los errores de idioma. Saludos desde Polonia.
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
Those people who passed this Genius,perhaps dont even listen to Pink Floyd either,but people in big cities has always a rush,,,,He has a classical background,,,This is one on my best Floyd's tune,Live always gives me Goosebumps
Gotta be one of or is the best musician I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. And in my 50 yearsI’ve seen them all across every genre! You should be selling out football stadiums for dollars not coins! Come to Dallas Texas! I’d pay to watch you jam! Rock on!
As we move closer and closer to a cashless society it is only a matter of time till guys like this become a thing of the past as we walk bland streets in search of our destination. This guy is fantastic.
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 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯
This reminds me of the when the virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell played in Grand Central Station in New York, and no one noticed or knew who he was. He made $52 and was listened to by about 27 people in 45 minutes. My son between the ages of 9 and 10 made as much busking in my home town. Staggering really.
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.

@@marcuskeulertz5852 yeah Floyd music is spiritual for sure....not in a religious context, but poeple that listen to it....."get it"

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.
you think that's crazy. you should see how many people walk by a sunset or a rainstorm. Or a single caterpillar moving gently across a branch..
@@alvisc2002 So true.
Dead souls....
Non impressed
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!
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.
also the steam from the bus at 2:32

To attract a crowd miguel should hit hotel california.
All the young people walking/running by . . . and a few older ones stopping to listen. Respect the Floyd!
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'm 27 and would have stopped to listen to this :)
Yes,in general,cause that 's their youth,but I've seen a girl in the pink coat trowing money
they are not comfortably numb apparently
Right on brother!
So much soul.. What a great tone. Its a pity that only few care to stop and listen.
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!
If these people only knew what it takes to play that well. And bravo for Pink Floyd for giving us such an amazing composition!
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...

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.
Don’t you just love the way that everyone is totally oblivious to this amazingly talented human being!

I could sit and listen to you all day! Everyday! Thank you for sharing your passion with us! Keep doing it Miguel!!!
Excellent footage. Great guitar playing on the mall . Thank you.
Even the ambulance was on key. I think you know you got something when that happens. You’re bloody brilliant man.

windmill10 yea that was good timing.Fits perfectly
most especially because of what this song is about...Sid .....
amazing.... soo good
Holy crap, this kid is good. I love it when talented players can manage their effects. So rare to find.

You know why? Because you felt it, because you are a human being :)
Much love from Morocco.

Christ man...bring a CD out..I could listen to you play all night... fantastic..!!
Blows my mind how talented you are , utterly brilliant, absolutely adore this
Why are you people just walking by nonchalant? STOP and LISTEN!!! This is beautiful music.
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.
ryan mookie I also vent my soul through my instrument
Fantastic rendition of an amazing song. Gilmore would be blown away!

Eres 1 grande Miguel ..te sigo desde tus primeros videos ..excelente guitarrista..orgullo chileno..
Saw Montalban in October 2019, my advice is for anyone who can see this kid and his band do not miss it.
Most beautiful performance. I've played for 35 years so I get it. Awesome!!
It would seem most people don't appreciate just how hard Pink Floyd tracks are to play!
He's fabulous and the sound is 👌🤘
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.
Respect Dood can’t believe everyone is just passing by like he’s the invisible man he’d have stopped me dead in my tracks awesome player
Martin Munro martinm me too.
@Martin Munro martinm......thats London for you where EVERYONE is in a rush!! In fairness tho' there were some who appreciated quality musicianship.
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

It's the older guys that really appreciate it. That was their time, mine too.

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.
One of those rare videos that you don't skip and watch till the end tnx for the upload
Miguel Montalban, you are a natural guitarist just plain Great, your practice has paid off big way to go play on
Clap clap clap clap......bravo! I enjoyed this. Pink Floyd blues....simply the best.
How in the Earth is not everyone standing there enjoying this masterpiece?
i saw him a week and so ago in London, i can´t belive how good this guy is..
Como viejo fanático de Pink Floyd, y tengo 61 años, nunca había escuchado tal actuación. Eres genial Pido disculpas por los errores de idioma. Saludos desde Polonia.
Bien viejo yo goce también con Sultanes del swing
Saludos desde España. Ni un solo error, lo has escrito perfecto. Yo tengo 59 y tambien soy fanático de los Floyd.
Someone on the street playing like this feels infinitely more touching than a group in a big stadium. Beautiful Floyd, amazing skills.
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
Those people who passed this Genius,perhaps dont even listen to Pink Floyd either,but people in big cities has always a rush,,,,He has a classical background,,,This is one on my best Floyd's tune,Live always gives me Goosebumps
Chin Verguenza most of the people listen to music that himself like
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Well played !!!excellent.
Gotta be one of or is the best musician I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. And in my 50 yearsI’ve seen them all across every genre! You should be selling out football stadiums for dollars not coins! Come to Dallas Texas! I’d pay to watch you jam! Rock on!
Miguel is a phenomenal artist,don’t know him,but I think he enjoys playing on the streets,
Long may he continue.
Super talented and soulful. Love his tones as well. BZ!!!
As we move closer and closer to a cashless society it is only a matter of time till guys like this become a thing of the past as we walk bland streets in search of our destination.
This guy is fantastic.

So true.....People of the world are becoming so so calloused and cold
There is already an app for that.
Busking has electronic accommodations
It'll be pretty rare once Sharia law kicks in...
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 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯
The epitome is astounding.. The Diamond shines and Nobody stops to see it sparkle.
This reminds me of the when the virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell played in Grand Central Station in New York, and no one noticed or knew who he was. He made $52 and was listened to by about 27 people in 45 minutes. My son between the ages of 9 and 10 made as much busking in my home town. Staggering really.
Middle of London and an Ambulance joins in at the perfect timing, and in tune. Brilliant rendition from Miguel.
