    David Gilmore is by far my favorite guitarist in my 60+ years. He’s not the fastest but the soul he creates from his solos can’t be matched. Thru the 70’s I saw most all of the great bands of the time.👍

      Saw the same show in Toronto , their 'Dark Side of The Moon' tour . My ticket cost 6 dollars and 60 cents . Quite a show ( Saw YES that same year -- The 'Close To The Edge 'tour at the same venue - Maple Leaf Gardens . ) ---- happy to have lived through that era . The concerts were all you could have imagined them to be -- and more .

      Oh man....my first was The Wall in 1980, Nassau, then the last 2 tours. Never thought I'd see Dark Side live. Dark Side was my first exposure to them when I was 9 back in 73. I pretty well lost it when I realized they were playing it in full during the PULSE tour.

    This is one of those songs that really speaks to addicts in recovery. In the song some asks "Can to tell me where it hurts?" It is understanding that the emptiness inside is a pain of the soul that is for many addicts the realization that is the first step to recovery.

    Having the amazing good fortune to see them 5 times on the Pulse tour, it was clear, even in the moment, that this performance, which was note perfect each night, was something special and beyond what had been done before. I had seen PF on previous tours, and this was certainly a performance without equal. i have been to over 150 concerts and many were phenomenal, but nothing quite matches the Pulse concert in general or David's guitar solo on Comfortable Numb. It stands alone.

    • @Erfedwe
      @Erfedwe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Additional thoughts. This was recorded in 1994. To date, this is still the single most impressive light show I have seen at any concert (the concert as a whole, not just this song). Almost 30 years later and nobody has improved upon a Pink Floyd light show. The same can be said for the sound quality. It is the cleanest sound I have heard at any concert. The band is so precise and everything is so well tuned and coordinated. I have heard louder bands to be sure, but nothing that sounds as good or as consistent.

    In '94, before starting the stage build for Woodstock 94 at the Winston Farm in Saugerties NY, I was fortunate to build this stage at both Yankee and Giant's Stadium. For the Giant's shows, I ran a follow spot light during the performance. When we received the "Go" cue to bump on the mirror ball, the crowd went CRAZY! I still get chills, 27 years later. The sound quality was incredible with speaker towers built all the way around the top rim of the Stadium, a 300+ foot Surround Sound Experience!

    I was at this concert too, not on the recording night but the one after which was just as good. Although the whole show was just amazing the thing I remember most vividly was when the mirror ball lit up, the ball was rotating and the entire hall lit up with thousand and thousands of small moving lights, all the walls, ceiling, people, everything, it was just magical. We didn't expect it either because the ball was hidden and then uncovered while everyone was watching the on-stage effects and the ceiling was dark. You can't get a complete idea of how good the show was from these videos, you can see it all, hear it all but you can't feel it, the tremendous heat from the fireworks, the volume of the music which went right through you. I looked around and people were just sat as if mesmerized, mouths open trying to take it all in. By far the greatest concert I've ever been to.

    First off, RIP keyboardist Rick Wright.
    2nd...I highly, HIGHLY recommend you look up the websites of 2 Pink Floyd tribute bands -- Brit Floyd and Aussie Floyd, to see if they are touring and if they are and coming to Atlanta --- GO SEE THEM! Both are recommended by members of Pink Floyd themselves. They do a remarkable job in not only performing the music, but also recreating the light and stage production of the real Pink Floyd. They usually announce their appearances in the areas they are coming to do by being part of the local PBS pledge drive a month or so before they are set to appear in town. It will be well worth the time and effort. I am sure there are videos on You Tube. Great interpretations of the original music.

      My first concert was when I was 12, a month from turning 13. It was Pink Floyd at Madison Square Garden on July 4, 1977. As if seeing Pink Floyd wasn’t enough of an experience, there was a whole 4th of July party atmosphere in the city. I remember everything about that show, it was almost too much for the ears and eyes to handle. It’s a miracle I remember any of it because the pot smoke was like a smog alert.

    I've been privileged to have seen them four times in three different decades! I saw them in 74 for their "Dark Side of the Moon" tour which was phenomenal say the least!! So what I still think was the best concert they've ever done was performed in 1977 for their "In The Flesh" tour when Rodger Waters was still with them! For that show they played all of "Animals" followed by all of "Wish You Were Here" and half of "Dark Side Of the Moon" for their encore!! Then I saw them in 87 for the "Momentary Lapse of Reason" tour and this 94 "Pulse tour"!
    I've seen probably 100 concerts in my life from AC DC to Zeppelin and everyone in between alphabetically and though some of those shows had incredible music I've never seen a better show than any of the live Pink Floyd shows!! The lights the sound in the music were always perfect at those Floyd shows!!

On the second night they made them turn the music down because the night before it was so loud they could hear it over the Jets inside Sky Harbor.

Like many, I recall exactly where I was when I first heard The Wall. White-knuckling it back from an ice-fishing excursion to Lake Mille Lacs, a couple of hours north of the Twin Cities. I was on Highway 35 and in a blizzard. A total white-out. Could hardly see where I was driving. My friend Jack says, "Oh Geez, I forgot I brought the new Pink Floyd CD." In response to out derisive mumbling -- how could he have forgot THAT? He put it in the player and it blew us away. Hung over from a near lethal alcohol and drugs binge, my friends and I lost it . . . in a good way. I pulled off the road, turned on the flashers and we just settled in to drift along with the snow.

    When it comes to pop/rock music, there is nothing like a live concert. A true musician will rise to the occasion when they're playing live. And it doesn't matter if it's Pink Floyd in a massive arena, some band you don't really know much about at a festival or some local kids performing in a bar for the first time.
    I usually will visit something like 8 to 12 live shows a year. In venues that will hold anything between 100 and 60,000 people. I can quite easily adapt to the new circumstances the pandemic throws at us, but if there's one thing I really miss these days, it's live concerts.
    As for Pink Floyd. I've only seen them live twice. In 1980 they were my first major concert (The Wall) at the age of 17. I revisited the band in 1989, when Roger Waters had already left the band. To make up for that I went to see Roger Water's live rendition of The Wall in 2013. None of the concerts were a let down in any way.

    Your voice level sounds good to me! Yes-this IS the best guitar solo of all time. I regret that Roger wasn't with the rest of them during this concert-as he is one of the big reasons why this masterpiece of a song (what I consider to be the best song of all time) exists at all. Still, this guitar solo by the other-worldly Gilmore, is the best of the best. I cannot listen to this song without getting goosebumps and it's multiplied in this particular performance.

    The MUSIC WAS GREATER BY FAR! It was immense, epic in scope…
    I’ve seen many hundreds of concerts. But that was the absolute apex of live music experience.

    Hi, really enjoy your reactions. You clearly have a great feel for music and a love for guitar solos. I’m not one for ranking music, as it’s all about taste but Dave Gilmore is a wonderful guitarist, for sure. Worth checking out two other astonishing solos. Jimi Hendrix doing “Machine Gun”, live at Fillmore East. This was Jimi’s attempt to express the chaos and fear experienced by soldiers in the Vietnam War, through the strings of his guitar. The great Miles Davies, who was present, described this as “not just the greatest guitar solo but the greatest solo in any genre, ever”. The other is Peter Green, of the original Fleetwoood Mac band, doing “Got a Good Mind to Give up Living” live. You can hear the pain in every phrase and his delicacy and tone are unparalleled. BB King, who knew a bit about the blues, said “Peter Green was the only guitarist to make me sweat. He had the sweetest tone I ever heard”. Both worth a listen 😎

Gutted... until my friend Kevin Case's girl friend left him and he sold me her ticket.... it was seat AA26.... ummmm 27 rows back in (I think?) Earls Court.... anyway, when we got there my seat was not 27 rows back.... but the front row in the middle seat... lined up with the centre drum of the drum kit. Drenched in dry ice flowing off the stage and totally magical.... beat that!

We're really looking forward to that as well, and he's going to play all old stuff, from before Dark Side of the Moon. We were fortunate enough to see them in '94 and caught Roger Waters on tour, who also put on a great show. It warms my heart that you said they are one of the older bands you wish you could have seen live because you are right; David Gilmour IS the greatest guitarist. His playing is lush, liquid, beautiful, and transporting.

    The thing about it is that when "The Wall" first came out, Pink Floyd because of the massiveness of the stage performance they only toured it in 4 places. I heard you say that you would had liked to have seen the Wall tour. On that tour they played two places here in the states which were Los Angeles and New York. And even in their own country of England they only played London. Then they played Dortmund and West Germany. And it does sound like a choir when you hear women singing, but he only has 3 female singers behind him. At one time they did hold the Guinnis Worlds record for best stage light show. But the chart topper that kills me is The Dark Side of The Moon album. It was on the Billboard music chart longer then anyother album in history. And I don't think anybody will every break it. It was on the Billboard Top 200 Chart for 959 weeks! That's incredible! That would come to 220.6 months which would be 18.6 years! Now that's just crazy!
