You two are great, as always, but I wanted to compliment you Baby Gap on your excellent ability to dissect lyrics and come up with their meanings. You really shined on this one, and were not that far off either, but what you got wrong well, that's not your fault. They specifically wrote this in a vague way, because it reflects the state that the person was in when they wrote it. They did a lot of concept albums (i.e. where all the songs fit together to tell a story), and this song is no different. It came from their album, The Wall, and they used this to describe the main character at 1 point in the movie that they subsequently made from it. However, like I said, the song refers to an actual experience that bassist Roger Waters had, where he had to go on one night but was unable to, due to stomach cramps, so they had a doctor inject him with tranquilizers to get him through the show, just as he said. So, you are correct about the drugs. He said it was the longest 2 hours of his life, and that he could hardly lift his arms. However, later in the song, he's trying to explain the feelings he had a bit further and drew an analogy between that experience and another one. When he was a child, he had a high fever and was delirious, and specifically remembers that his hands feeling all puffy and looking like balloons. While he was in that state, he imagined seeing something out of the corner of his eye, but when he actually tried to turn his head to focus on it, whatever it was ... wasn't there, or had just disappeared. All-in-all, he is just describing how the first topic made him remember the similarities between the 2 experiences ... and ... I think the word(s) you were searching for might have possibly been ... catatonic, hopeless, subdued (not "Sub Dude, the Magnificent Underwater Maniac" ... oops, sorry ... warped out for a moment but, I'm back now🤣) and maybe dreary, leery or weary. BTW, the opening lines were from the doctor, asking: Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? He was attempting to evaluate his "patient's condition", as doctors will do.
Thank you Steve! It all makes much more sense with your explanation of the song and lyrics. We will definitely have to listen to the full album to understand and appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to educate us!
@@generationgapreacts The Wall was actually made into a movie....be prepared though if you decide to watch, it changes the whole concept of the music and deepens it to another level
And just my luck, the night that Roger had to be injected was the night I first saw Pink Floyd on the Animals tour in Philly. I thought at the time it was the best show I ever saw and made me a huge fan until this disappointing mess came out in 79. This is really the only good song on a double album of mostly filler. Glad Dave took the helm and got them back on track.
As far as I'm concerned the best verse ever written in a song: "When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse, out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look, but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now - the child is grown, the dream is gone."
Extremely well written. Would have made more sense if I caught the word “dream” - for some reason that didn’t register but I think I got the main point down!
If I had to choose among the pearls of lyrics that Roger Waters wrote, I would have a hard time choosing the most beautiful. But there are three that certainly take place on the three steps of the podium. 3- "We're just two lost souls - Swimming in a fish bowl, - Year after year", 2- "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. - No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun". 1- "You raise the blade, you make the change - You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane".
While I agree with the sentiment, this is not realistic given the hoops that reactors have to jump through to prevent getting copyright strikes and to comply with the fair use tenants.
@@Erfedwe I don’t know about that. I subscribe to a half a dozen reactors and I have subscribed to a half a dozen more in the past and they have all adopted this policy. Just a friendly suggestion.
@@unclephil7650 It really comes down to the artist and their label. Many reactors are afraid to get strikes, because if they get 3, they lose their channel. With that in mind, many will just play it safe.
I think l can help you. I've been a huge Pink Floyd fan since the early 70's. Now keep in mind I've been listening to their music for 50 years and still every time l listen l hear something new that l didn't hear the thousands of times l listen to a song. Pink Floyd is magic.
The universe loves you for not pausing that solo. David feeds his soul straight into yours through his guitar and so glad you didn't miss out on that overwhelming build during the greatest guitar solo ever recorded.
For me, David Gilmour has always been the highlight of Pink Floyd. I mean, they are amazing as a band, and they are all geniuses in their own right, but David Gilmour's style with the guitar is mesmerising to me, and his voice is absolutely my favourite.
Pink Floyd probably didn’t say this song can only mean one thing. I’ve seen grown men and grown women cry, I’ve seen people become speechless, but most people that really listen to the song are moved . Everything about this song puts you in a dream like state, then near the end of the song you realize that your heart rate has doubled, every muscle in your body has tightened up, the whole drum set is shaking and the guitar is passionately crying out in beautiful anguish. What a song can do to your heart!
Roger wrote lyrics inspired from an experience of being injected with tranquilizers for stomach cramps before a 1977 performance in Philadelphia on the In the Flesh Tour. "That was the longest two hours of my life," Waters said, "trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm."
A recording is fine, but you really should hear it live. There's no comparison. I've been fortunate to see them live..... twice, a life altering experience. The first show my wife couldn't attend with me and I was so moved that I called her from a pay phone and held it out toward the stage. She went with me the next time. BTW just shut up and enjoy it. Don't overanalize it, it was meant to be enjoyed not picked apart. I will never listen to you two again. You just don't get it.
I was one of the lucky people to be at this show, the moment that ball lights-up is incredible. No-one new it was there as it is kept covered, then the house lights were out and the stage lights bright so you don't notice it being uncovered, then those spots come on! It's actually a huge mirror-ball which is also revolving so everything inside the hall is covered by millions of small moving points of light, brilliant.
The Beatles are better The Rolling Stones are better AC/DC is better Led Zeppelin is better and queen is better even though I don’t like queen Pink Floyd is the 6th best band ever
I've seen The stones, AC/DC, Floyd, Zep and Queen live. The top two were Floyd and Queen followed by the others. Never saw the beatles live but as an experiance they wouldn't come close to Floyd
@@turdcurd9082 The Beatles, give me a break, they can't hold Pink Floyd's jock straps, or the Stones's or Led Zep's either. The Beatles are the biggest musical frauds of all time.
This was part of the encore. It started with "Wish You Were Here", which fed straight in to "Comfortably Numb", and finally "Run Like Hell" to wrap up the show. If you thought the lights were good in Comfortably Numb, wait into you've seen "Run Like Hell". This was a ground breaking show. PF liked what Marc Brickman had done as an assistant lighting director at a previous gig when he stepped in to resolve a problem, and asked him to design the lighting for the Pulse Tour. When he asked about the budget, he was told there wasn't one, just see what you can come up with, and this is what happens when you give a talented lighting designer a brief with no budgetary constraints. The show used a new experimental laser, and they had the whole world's entire supply, with no spares. The band went to extraordinary lengths to get superb sound quality at high volume. I'm told your whole rib cage resonated with the base, but with no hint of distortion. That's what you get from a 220,000 watt surround sound system. They had 3 rigs. One in use, one being dismantled from the previous venue, and another being assembled at the next one. That was too big a drain on the local electricity supply grid, so they had 4 industrial generators running behind the show venue. Altogether they had 700 tons of gear on 33 huge trucks. Everyone left in silence, unable to comprehend what they had just experienced. If they ever invent time travel, that's the first gig I'm going back to experience!
When Gilmour starts his 2nd solo, a far away shot shows the audience and the stage. Notice NO cameras are flickering, NO arms are waving in the air, NOBODY is dancing. Everybody stands still in awe. That's captivation.
I am proud to say that I was in the audience that night when this was filmed for the pulse dvd and other than watching my 2 children being born this was the greatest night of my life , the whole concert was on another level to anything I had ever seen or heard at a live concert... pure adrenaline rush from start to finish... Pink Floyd Forever... 👍
No one can play guitar like David Gilmour. He plays the strings of our hearts. I have been a fan of Pink Floyd since 1967. The greatest rock band in this galaxy.
I have to disagree with your claim that Dave is the best bar none. You're a PF fan so you would say that. Davie G has had maybe almost 30 years to perfect this song with effect pedals. I know other bands that are equal to his talent and they started out at the same time but only use reverb. Then there's the bands that started out in the 90's that can get the same sound with effects. Practice. I'm not trying to pick an argument I'm just saying
@@lastfirst5689 I have no problem with you disagreeing with me. My own opinions are always fluid, in keeping with reality and I found your comment intellectually stimulating. Perhaps you could share a few names.
@@patrickquinlan3056 Pink Floyd is not number 1 band ever it is number 6 behind The Beatles at number 1 The Rolling Stones at number 2 queen at number 3 even though I hate queen 4 is Led Zeppelin 5 is AC/DC and Pink Floyd is 6
I have listened to Pink Floyd while being comfortably numb many time in my life. That was the best way of listening to this song, at least it was back years ago.
I never fail to have the same reaction of just... uncontrollable emotion as soon as that white light blasts over the crowd for the solo. It's just so other worldly... Outside of reality, there's a strange sadness that it all carries very beautifully. That whole section of this song always makes me think about a person's final moments. Maybe comfortably numb, maybe acceptance, something so unexplainable and abstract, a heavenly state. I don't know exactly what it is, but i think i can see it in this show and it makes me watery-eyed but with a smile. Great reaction :)
This song is so beautiful, loved your reactions. Most of their songs have guitar solos. One song that is like this is the live version of "On the Turning Away. It's lyrics are socially relevant even today.
You hit the nail on the head there with saying the emotions come out in the music. No one can express emotions by just playing a guitar better than David Gilmour and this is why the solo in this masterpiece is considered one of the best ever.
In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band. “ That was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.” Roger Waters
As usual, you nailed it. The guitar solo is not just tacked on to the end of the song. The whole vibe of the solo resonates with the meaning of the song: lost innocence, childhood, and sadness.
I saw two shows from this tour at the Rose Bowl with around 100k people each night, both were awesome! The lasers went way beyond the stadium, which blew my mind. I saw the Wall concert in 1980 and that was epic!!!👌✌️😁
I saw Pink Floyd in Germany in 1988 in Stuttgart. It was their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. To this day 36 years later it is the best concert I have ever been to. Been a fan since the mid 70s. They wring your soul and make you look at things and listen to things differently. Gilmore doesn’t play the guitar. He makes it come to life and it has its own voice
Saw the Momentary Lapse tour in Sydney. I’ve loved Floyd since I was about 12…I’m 60 in a couple of weeks. DSOTM was the second album I ever bought, WYWH was the 4th. Bought “The Wall” the day it came out, but it took me a while to get to love it! Comfortably Numb was always my favourite track off the album, though. I’ve seen two Roger Waters concerts since, which were also amazing, but nothing has matched that Sydney concert! I paid $5 for 3 tickets, because my Aunt was a publicist with special access. I took 2 lovely Swedish girls I’d met on Manly Beach a few days earlier, who barely knew who Pink Floyd were, but I was waaay too distracted to pay them much attention!
Pink Floyd known for their light shows. When I first saw them in concert was mid 70’s. They didn’t have all the laser show like in the 90’s but the music was all we needed.😎
Your facial expressions made me smile, the lyrics to this song are basically how you made it to be, this concert tour was pink floyd on the top of their showmanship, these are great musicians who have created many great pieces of audio heaven, I had the privilege of seeing them in 89 on their delicate sound of thunder tour, I have that evening etched into my memory, I went with 3 other friends, on the way home few words were spoken, we just couldn't believe what we saw and heard
This song is part of a story told throughout the album "The Wall". It's the story of a fictional rock star (Named Pink), who tries to escape the trials of life, (by isolating himself behind a wall that he erects around himself). But it's also greatly inspired by the real-life experience from the author of the lyrics, Roger Waters. Here he describes an experience he had in Philadelphia before going on stage for a show. He suffered from severe stomach cramps, and a doctor injected him with a tranquilizer so that he could perform on stage. Quote from Roger Waters; "He gave me this tranquilizer, it was in Philadelphia, and boy that was the longest two hours of my life. Trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm". "My hands felt just like two balloons."
PF purists understand that this album should be played from the beginning all the way through the last song. Like you said, it's a unique journey that takes you thru a roller coaster of emotions and thoughts. That's why on the album that track seems to abruptly begin just as Bring The Boys Back Home is ending. THere really is no defined break or complete silence. FM overplayed this song and you can hear how it begins as if the needle was dropped on the vinyl, but I digress. It is what it is.
And to add to this… listening to this song without the context of the many preceding songs is like opening a novel to the middle of the book to begin reading it. It is hard to appreciate the power of this song when you’ve not been led to it through the course of the full album. Great song, but even better when reached in the context of the full album. My favorite in the Pink Floyd catalog (maybe one of my two favorites; can’t ignore Dark Side of the Moon).
@@gsparkman Amen Brother. Very well articulated. I blame FM radio for starting this. Like you said, The Wall is an epic album that was recorded and engineered to be played from beginning to end just like Dark Side. Listening to Comfortably Numb by itself in a vacuum will not give you the same emotions as if you heard it in context as part of the entire album. That's why David Gilmour and Roger Waters are considered musical and storytelling geniuses.
And some might say one of their greatest live performances, had NO LIGHTS, NO PYROTECHNICS... In fact NO AUDIENCE and a Dave Gilmour with No Shirt! Check out, Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972
12.41 Forget the words look at that beautiful image. He is just starting his epic solo and the lights hit the crowd. Hardly anyone one is moving. They are just stood there staring and listening to this amazing sound. Floyd did that, they did it to me Main Road Manchester 1988 I think it was. Just jaw dropping reproduction of some of the best music ever recorded. Brilliant.
I saw it all with a group of friends and it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen...I swear we didn't blink from the start. The sound was absolutely huge, but as clear as a bell. It took you over and for 2.5 hours you went 'Somewhere else"...I'll never forget that experience as long as i live and it's awesome to watch young peoples reactions when they experience the very best of the best..Make some time to watch the whole "Pulse" concert...One of the girls with us discribed the whole concert as 'Orgasmic'...A very special night it was...
Every guitar wants a David Gilmour for Christmas. You really should check out more songs from this concert. Sorrow, One of These Days, Coming Back to Life (very underrated and uplifting), Shine On etc.
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Unfortunately it's because I became comfortably numb year's ago. I usually feel nothing but sadness most of the time. I was always a happy go lucky guy up until a few years ago. I have no idea how I got this way, but, sadly I am here.
I'm old so I can say I was lucky enough to be at Earls Court for this tour in 94, you're right when that giant glitter ball lit up it was without doubt the best live performance feeling I've ever had, pure overload of the senses. That song is part of a story about a rock star on the Wall album, well worth listening to the whole album.
That passage that you mentioned: "When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimps out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone, I can not put my finger on it now, THE CHILD IS GROWN, THE DREAM IS GONE!" When I was a child all things seemed possible. All dreams seemed possible. Becoming an adult changed my perception. When I was a child, I thought like a child. As an adult I put away childish things.
When I first heard the song, that was the verse that really resonated with me. All the hope and optimism a lot of us had in the 60s evaporated as we got older.
When I hear that part I always thought when he was young he caught a glimpse of what he perceived as a UFO, being an object that when he turned was gone and that represented the possibility of an incredible future but since he hasn't been able to recapture that feeling of anything being possible
The "dreamy, darkness" effect you described is due to their genius in composing this in a minor key (I say this as an experienced guitarist who knows this track). They transition into a major key at a recognizable point, then back to the minor. 😇😁🎸
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd.
Davis Gilmores guitar solos can be very emotional. The man makes his guitar an extension of himself. When that ball opens up and drops down I tell people that is indeed Davids space ship coming to take him home because he plays like he is from another planet. The music, the lights, the props, is like no other group. You leave a show in utter amazement.. Like what the Hell did I just experience.. A feeling like no other after a concert.
Rule #1: You never, ever, for ANY reason, interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo!! You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. Their show is overwhelming by design. It's a massive sensory overload, thus the "experience"
Thanks for the reaction. The song works on it's own but it's really meant as part of an album "The Wall". After a life time of pain and hurt a rock star just "Checks Out" mentally before a show. He's not high, he's just gone. The money people call in a feel good Dr. who is asking him questions (scary voice) and rock star responding (soft voice). Instead of helping him he injects something into him and they push him on stage. That's when the next song in the album starts. It's a tough question as to how songs like this should be done. You really can't react to the whole album. But to really get the impact they wanted you to have you'd have to. You should do the rest of the album "The Wall". But I would go by the track list so you could follow the story line. Thanks again girls - Hope your holidays are filled with magic.
I personally prefer the version from the delicate sound of thunder live concert. Both his vocal and guitar solo parts where better. Closer to the original also.
It is somewhat ironic that you did both Nightwish GLS and Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb almost back to back. I have seen both bands live (along with hundreds of other concerts) and Nightwish closing their concert with Ghost Love Score followed by The Greatest Show on Earth, and Pink Floyd closing their show with Comfortably Numb followed by Run Like Hell, are the two most epic finishes to concerts that I have ever seen. It is no coincidence that these are two of the best live bands period.
The effectiveness of this song isn't just because of the lights, the music or how they perform it. Listen to each line and you will recognize it is peppered with trigger words. Sick, balloons, fever, child, relax, information, hurts, hello, home, down, pain, ship, smoke, horizon, waves, lips... They are all words that a therapist might communicate to you during a session, or present on flash cards to you to find out what they make you think of.
After this, you should check out "Run Like Hell", which was the encore that closed the show. You will think, how could they possibly follow this? Once you see it you will understand this was the perfect song to bring the audience out of the music coma they were in after this one. Probably enabled everyone to function and get home. You can't go wrong with Pink Floyd. The song is about a time when Roger Waters had an illness before a show and had to be given a sedative to function and it reminded him of a time when he was sick as a child.
I saw them 5 times on this tour, and in each case, I was still in complete awe by the overwhelming audio and video experience of Run Like Hell. I mean, they showcase a lot of the lighting effects throughout the show (and the rest of the show is straight up amazing), but it is not until the finale when they kick everything on, that you realize how visually stunning this is.
Many people consider this to be the finest live rock guitar solo of all time. As good as this performance is there's another one from this same concert that I like even better (maybe because I've seen this one so many times). Check out Sorrow from this same Pulse concert. Overall one of the finest live rock concerts ever caught on video.
I love the fact that many years on PINK FLOYD who were the landscape of my youth are inspiring a whole new generation across the board. Rap fans especially seem to get this band!
You came thru', as always, Ladies but after 5 early pauses,I WAS getting a little concerned that the flow was being interrupted too much because I knew the second half would mesmerize you both and I was worried you were going to pause further but you didn't and we got the benefit of that wondrous guitar solo and accompanying Light Show.🤞 I was really impressed by the fact that you are the first all Female Reactors to, openly, have totally diverse opinions and that is so refreshing to see and hear and, instantly, both move on, which was great.. I was one of the multitudes who recommended this and you still have the following LIVE performances to be amazed by:0 1/ GARY MOORE- Firstly at Montreux playing "Parisienne Walkways"(there's a surprise in that one !) and, Secondly "I've Still Got The Blues For You" in Paris. 2/ Led Zeppelin: "Stairway To Heaven" at Madison Square Garden 3/ Lynyrd Skynard- Freebird @ Oakland 1977".....ENJOY
Thank you Isle! Or should I say Skye! That was a very nice comment. Yes, we do pause frequently but once that light show and guitar solo started we were very mesmerized! Great thing about us is we interpret music differently and that works for us. We will definitely write down the other songs you suggested
@@generationgapreacts Thanks. I will bid you a fond farewell as it is 4.20am here on the very edge of South East London and Kent and time for my 4 hours of sleep.😀
Wow, you two are in for some real entertainment going down this road. Just fantastic! Dave Gilmour is a supreme guitarist, and the rest of the band are terrific musicians also.
Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands of all time. I saw them live a couple times. This song always made me feel so free and wonderful. Kinda warm and floating above it all. Peace 🕊️☮️ and Love 💖💕
I've watched a dozen reactions to this song in the past day. And you can pinpoint the exact moment in every person when the brain loses thought and transitions to feeling. Young, old, black, white, hip hop to opera, everyone checks into that moment and it's crazy to see how universal it is. It's a guitar solo that talks to everyone
Pontiac Silver Dome 1994!!! Me, my wife, best friend, and my brother-in-law. My wife 8 months pregnant with our son! Absolutely the greatest concert of my extensive concert lifetime!!! In an interview with David Gilmore and Richard Wright, when asked about their favorite venue, immediately said Pontiac Silver Dome!! And they played the whole Dark Side of the Moon album in concert for the first time since the Dark Side tour of the early 1970s. Specifically because we were the best audience of their tour. 😊💖💕💯💥
i saw this gig but in wembley stadium and it was fantastic, i will always remember it as the best gig ive been to, and the most emotionally experience ive ever had...
I was fortunate to have seen the Pulse tour in London and it was quite an experience. An assault on the senses. An array of emotions. And I think I actually was comfortably numb.
Saw them twice in concert - '72 in OKC and they didn't fill a smaller venue 1/2 way and the 80's in Dallas Texas stadium. Yes, both were epic and unforgettable.
I've been a FAN of Pink Floyd since about 1971 when a friend of mine introduced them to me. I was 18 yrs old. We have grown old together and I can't imagine growing up without them. Thank you Bill for introducing me to them. After all of these years, I still adore putting on my headphones and just melting away in the world that they create.

For me, David Gilmour has always been the highlight of Pink Floyd. I mean, they are amazing as a band, and they are all geniuses in their own right, but David Gilmour's style with the guitar is mesmerising to me, and his voice is absolutely my favourite.
in 1990 i hired some lights out to pink floyd which were used on the berlin wall!! honestly!!!
Pink Floyd probably didn’t say this song can only mean one thing. I’ve seen grown men and grown women cry, I’ve seen people become speechless, but most people that really listen to the song are moved . Everything about this song puts you in a dream like state, then near the end of the song you realize that your heart rate has doubled, every muscle in your body has tightened up, the whole drum set is shaking and the guitar is passionately crying out in beautiful anguish. What a song can do to your heart!
Roger wrote lyrics inspired from an experience of being injected with tranquilizers for stomach cramps before a 1977 performance in Philadelphia on the In the Flesh Tour. "That was the longest two hours of my life," Waters said, "trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm."
A recording is fine, but you really should hear it live. There's no comparison. I've been fortunate to see them live..... twice, a life altering experience. The first show my wife couldn't attend with me and I was so moved that I called her from a pay phone and held it out toward the stage. She went with me the next time. BTW just shut up and enjoy it. Don't overanalize it, it was meant to be enjoyed not picked apart. I will never listen to you two again. You just don't get it.
"Guitar passionately crying in beautiful anguish"- That Nails It!💯
David Gilmour's guitar playing has that effect on the soul, he never misses.
I was one of the lucky people to be at this show, the moment that ball lights-up is incredible. No-one new it was there as it is kept covered, then the house lights were out and the stage lights bright so you don't notice it being uncovered, then those spots come on! It's actually a huge mirror-ball which is also revolving so everything inside the hall is covered by millions of small moving points of light, brilliant.
What you just witnessed is arguably one of the greatest solo performances of all time. Thank You both for reacting to this.
Delicate sounds was better.
@@arnoldlayne1424 Listened to both back to back and the 1994 impulse rendition was better as well as the lightshow.
For a solo performance, I'd put this second only to Texas Flood by SRV, Live at El Mocambo
Overall, Pink Floyd are one of the best bands ever, no other band can do what they do, and no other band can come close to the vibe they produce
The Beatles are better The Rolling Stones are better AC/DC is better Led Zeppelin is better and queen is better even though I don’t like queen Pink Floyd is the 6th best band ever
I've seen The stones, AC/DC, Floyd, Zep and Queen live. The top two were Floyd and Queen followed by the others. Never saw the beatles live but as an experiance they wouldn't come close to Floyd
@@turdcurd9082 The Beatles, give me a break, they can't hold Pink Floyd's jock straps, or the Stones's or Led Zep's either. The Beatles are the biggest musical frauds of all time.
@@jamesbrown5600 what a moron
This was part of the encore. It started with "Wish You Were Here", which fed straight in to "Comfortably Numb", and finally "Run Like Hell" to wrap up the show. If you thought the lights were good in Comfortably Numb, wait into you've seen "Run Like Hell". This was a ground breaking show. PF liked what Marc Brickman had done as an assistant lighting director at a previous gig when he stepped in to resolve a problem, and asked him to design the lighting for the Pulse Tour. When he asked about the budget, he was told there wasn't one, just see what you can come up with, and this is what happens when you give a talented lighting designer a brief with no budgetary constraints. The show used a new experimental laser, and they had the whole world's entire supply, with no spares. The band went to extraordinary lengths to get superb sound quality at high volume. I'm told your whole rib cage resonated with the base, but with no hint of distortion. That's what you get from a 220,000 watt surround sound system. They had 3 rigs. One in use, one being dismantled from the previous venue, and another being assembled at the next one. That was too big a drain on the local electricity supply grid, so they had 4 industrial generators running behind the show venue. Altogether they had 700 tons of gear on 33 huge trucks. Everyone left in silence, unable to comprehend what they had just experienced. If they ever invent time travel, that's the first gig I'm going back to experience!
I can tell you it was worth every penny. Wife and I were there, left side about 6 rows up from the floor.
Everyone left deaf and blind too, but worth every penny! Wish I had seen them live!
I was at the same gig! Second time I'd seen them. But this was even more incredible than the first time I'd seen them in Berlin in '88.
The word you two are fishing for is ethereal...that describes the dreamy state this song puts you in.
When Gilmour starts his 2nd solo, a far away shot shows the audience and the stage. Notice NO cameras are flickering, NO arms are waving in the air, NOBODY is dancing. Everybody stands still in awe. That's captivation.
I am proud to say that I was in the audience that night when this was filmed for the pulse dvd and other than watching my 2 children being born this was the greatest night of my life , the whole concert was on another level to anything I had ever seen or heard at a live concert... pure adrenaline rush from start to finish...
Pink Floyd Forever... 👍
This album was 1 of many that I spent sprawled on my bedroom floor listening with headphones and eyes closed. The soundscape is always so rich.
OMG!!! Never, never pause a guitar solo until it’s done. The number one rule of reactions
I was there, still getting over the emotions !!! 🤘👍
Imagine being comfortably numb watching this live along with 60,000 of your closest friends! I'm blessed to have had the experience. Cheers....
No one can play guitar like David Gilmour. He plays the strings of our hearts. I have been a fan of Pink Floyd since 1967. The greatest rock band in this galaxy.
I have to disagree with your claim that Dave is the best bar none. You're a PF fan so you would say that. Davie G has had maybe almost 30 years to perfect this song with effect pedals. I know other bands that are equal to his talent and they started out at the same time but only use reverb. Then there's the bands that started out in the 90's that can get the same sound with effects. Practice. I'm not trying to pick an argument I'm just saying
@@lastfirst5689 I have no problem with you disagreeing with me. My own opinions are always fluid, in keeping with reality and I found your comment intellectually stimulating. Perhaps you could share a few names.
@@patrickquinlan3056 George Harrison better
@@patrickquinlan3056 Pink Floyd is not number 1 band ever it is number 6 behind The Beatles at number 1 The Rolling Stones at number 2 queen at number 3 even though I hate queen 4 is Led Zeppelin 5 is AC/DC and Pink Floyd is 6
Angus Young and Chuck Berry and Keith Richards and Jimmy page and Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are definitely better
I have listened to Pink Floyd while being comfortably numb many time in my life. That was the best way of listening to this song, at least it was back years ago.
Ladies, you should keep reacting to other songs from this great Pulse concert----all of them are stunning!
your killing it!!! both Nightwish and Pink floyd in 1 day
I was one of the lucky ones that had the pleasure of being at this concert and i can honestly say it was the best night of my life
Me too. The night I went a seating stand collapsed and the show was cancelled. We returned a few nights later.
Me too. Left side 6 rows up from the floor. Greatest concert I ever saw.
I never fail to have the same reaction of just... uncontrollable emotion as soon as that white light blasts over the crowd for the solo. It's just so other worldly... Outside of reality, there's a strange sadness that it all carries very beautifully. That whole section of this song always makes me think about a person's final moments. Maybe comfortably numb, maybe acceptance, something so unexplainable and abstract, a heavenly state. I don't know exactly what it is, but i think i can see it in this show and it makes me watery-eyed but with a smile. Great reaction :)
This song is so beautiful, loved your reactions. Most of their songs have guitar solos. One song that is like this is the live version of "On the Turning Away. It's lyrics are socially relevant even today.
All the songs in that concert "Delicate Sound of Thunder" are TOP 100%!!. Run Like Hell and Sorrow highly recommended for them to react to.
@@squaaaaak3178 you are right I should of said some not most. Sorry bout that
Pink Floyd always takes me to another planet!
The concert was like an out of body experience. Absolutely beautiful!
Such an entertaining song and solo.
The song is very emotional and it's soul gripping. It's okay if it makes you cry many people do.
You just want to close your eyes and live the experience. Nice reactions ladies
You hit the nail on the head there with saying the emotions come out in the music. No one can express emotions by just playing a guitar better than David Gilmour and this is why the solo in this masterpiece is considered one of the best ever.
In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band. “
That was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.”
Roger Waters
As usual, you nailed it. The guitar solo is not just tacked on to the end of the song. The whole vibe of the solo resonates with the meaning of the song: lost innocence, childhood, and sadness.
I saw two shows from this tour at the Rose Bowl with around 100k people each night, both were awesome! The lasers went way beyond the stadium, which blew my mind. I saw the Wall concert in 1980 and that was epic!!!👌✌️😁
HERITICS !!!!...One does NOT INTERRUPT the PINK!
I saw Pink Floyd in Germany in 1988 in Stuttgart. It was their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. To this day 36 years later it is the best concert I have ever been to. Been a fan since the mid 70s. They wring your soul and make you look at things and listen to things differently. Gilmore doesn’t play the guitar. He makes it come to life and it has its own voice
Saw the Momentary Lapse tour in Sydney. I’ve loved Floyd since I was about 12…I’m 60 in a couple of weeks. DSOTM was the second album I ever bought, WYWH was the 4th. Bought “The Wall” the day it came out, but it took me a while to get to love it! Comfortably Numb was always my favourite track off the album, though. I’ve seen two Roger Waters concerts since, which were also amazing, but nothing has matched that Sydney concert! I paid $5 for 3 tickets, because my Aunt was a publicist with special access. I took 2 lovely Swedish girls I’d met on Manly Beach a few days earlier, who barely knew who Pink Floyd were, but I was waaay too distracted to pay them much attention!
"Most men live quiet lives of desparation" .
I am in awe of David Gilmour everytime I watch this. His guitar playing is just INCREDIBLE!
I love how the young lady’s mouth dropped open in disbelief over what she was experiencing.
Pink Floyd known for their light shows. When I first saw them in concert was mid 70’s. They didn’t have all the laser show like in the 90’s but the music was all we needed.😎
Your facial expressions made me smile, the lyrics to this song are basically how you made it to be, this concert tour was pink floyd on the top of their showmanship, these are great musicians who have created many great pieces of audio heaven, I had the privilege of seeing them in 89 on their delicate sound of thunder tour, I have that evening etched into my memory, I went with 3 other friends, on the way home few words were spoken, we just couldn't believe what we saw and heard
It was a truly wonderful concert. I have seen them many times over the last 50 years and in my humble opinion this was them at their best.
This song is part of a story told throughout the album "The Wall". It's the story of a fictional rock star (Named Pink), who tries to escape the trials of life, (by isolating himself behind a wall that he erects around himself). But it's also greatly inspired by the real-life experience from the author of the lyrics, Roger Waters. Here he describes an experience he had in Philadelphia before going on stage for a show. He suffered from severe stomach cramps, and a doctor injected him with a tranquilizer so that he could perform on stage. Quote from Roger Waters; "He gave me this tranquilizer, it was in Philadelphia, and boy that was the longest two hours of my life. Trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm". "My hands felt just like two balloons."
PF purists understand that this album should be played from the beginning all the way through the last song. Like you said, it's a unique journey that takes you thru a roller coaster of emotions and thoughts. That's why on the album that track seems to abruptly begin just as Bring The Boys Back Home is ending. THere really is no defined break or complete silence. FM overplayed this song and you can hear how it begins as if the needle was dropped on the vinyl, but I digress. It is what it is.
And to add to this… listening to this song without the context of the many preceding songs is like opening a novel to the middle of the book to begin reading it. It is hard to appreciate the power of this song when you’ve not been led to it through the course of the full album. Great song, but even better when reached in the context of the full album. My favorite in the Pink Floyd catalog (maybe one of my two favorites; can’t ignore Dark Side of the Moon).
@@gsparkman Amen Brother. Very well articulated. I blame FM radio for starting this. Like you said, The Wall is an epic album that was recorded and engineered to be played from beginning to end just like Dark Side. Listening to Comfortably Numb by itself in a vacuum will not give you the same emotions as if you heard it in context as part of the entire album. That's why David Gilmour and Roger Waters are considered musical and storytelling geniuses.
And some might say one of their greatest live performances, had NO LIGHTS, NO PYROTECHNICS... In fact NO AUDIENCE and a Dave Gilmour with No Shirt!
Check out,
Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972
12.41 Forget the words look at that beautiful image. He is just starting his epic solo and the lights hit the crowd. Hardly anyone one is moving. They are just stood there staring and listening to this amazing sound. Floyd did that, they did it to me Main Road Manchester 1988 I think it was. Just jaw dropping reproduction of some of the best music ever recorded.
Brilliant.
I saw it all with a group of friends and it was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen...I swear we didn't blink from the start. The sound was absolutely huge, but as clear as a bell. It took you over and for 2.5 hours you went 'Somewhere else"...I'll never forget that experience as long as i live and it's awesome to watch young peoples reactions when they experience the very best of the best..Make some time to watch the whole "Pulse" concert...One of the girls with us discribed the whole concert as 'Orgasmic'...A very special night it was...
Every guitar wants a David Gilmour for Christmas. You really should check out more songs from this concert. Sorrow, One of These Days, Coming Back to Life (very underrated and uplifting), Shine On etc.
It was awesome to see in person! May 25th, 1994 Cleveland Browns Stadium. Almost 30 years ago. Every concert after this was substandard.
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Unfortunately it's because I became comfortably numb year's ago. I usually feel nothing but sadness most of the time. I was always a happy go lucky guy up until a few years ago. I have no idea how I got this way, but, sadly I am here.
The great gig in the sky from the same concert is also a must see/hear!
I thought the tears were about to flow!
I'm old so I can say I was lucky enough to be at Earls Court for this tour in 94, you're right when that giant glitter ball lit up it was without doubt the best live performance feeling I've ever had, pure overload of the senses. That song is part of a story about a rock star on the Wall album, well worth listening to the whole album.
Yes, I saw them on this tour, and yes.. it was unreal. Just dumbfounded awe.
That passage that you mentioned: "When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimps out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone, I can not put my finger on it now, THE CHILD IS GROWN, THE DREAM IS GONE!" When I was a child all things seemed possible. All dreams seemed possible. Becoming an adult changed my perception. When I was a child, I thought like a child. As an adult I put away childish things.
When I first heard the song, that was the verse that really resonated with me. All the hope and optimism a lot of us had in the 60s evaporated as we got older.
@@thewalrus6833 Yes, me too.
When I hear that part I always thought when he was young he caught a glimpse of what he perceived as a UFO, being an object that when he turned was gone and that represented the possibility of an incredible future but since he hasn't been able to recapture that feeling of anything being possible
Stand by Mom, get that dreamy feeling every time. That guitar will never be fleeting.
The "dreamy, darkness" effect you described is due to their genius in composing this in a minor key (I say this as an experienced guitarist who knows this track). They transition into a major key at a recognizable point, then back to the minor. 😇😁🎸
I can tell by the look on her face that baby gap was touched by the song and it gripped her heart.
A good start with Pink Floyd is Dark Side of the Moon. This album was in the top 100 for 14 years. It is an absolute masterpiece.
The album is 50yrs old on the 23rd March 2023 ...
50 YEARS OLD !!!
It does my old heart good to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd.
Davis Gilmores guitar solos can be very emotional. The man makes his guitar an extension of himself. When that ball opens up and drops down I tell people that is indeed Davids space ship coming to take him home because he plays like he is from another planet. The music, the lights, the props, is like no other group. You leave a show in utter amazement.. Like what the Hell did I just experience.. A feeling like no other after a concert.
on most lists the #1 guitarsolo of all time.
Rule #1: You never, ever, for ANY reason, interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo!!
You don't just listen to Pink Floyd,
you experience Pink Floyd. Their show is overwhelming by design.
It's a massive sensory overload, thus the "experience"
Thanks for the reaction. The song works on it's own but it's really meant as part of an album "The Wall". After a life time of pain and hurt a rock star just "Checks Out" mentally before a show. He's not high, he's just gone. The money people call in a feel good Dr. who is asking him questions (scary voice) and rock star responding (soft voice). Instead of helping him he injects something into him and they push him on stage. That's when the next song in the album starts. It's a tough question as to how songs like this should be done. You really can't react to the whole album. But to really get the impact they wanted you to have you'd have to. You should do the rest of the album "The Wall". But I would go by the track list so you could follow the story line. Thanks again girls - Hope your holidays are filled with magic.
great reaction. live pulse song SORROW is mind blowing guitar work and stage production
so glad you did the live Pulse version, it's the best, and you've now heard the greatest version of the greatest guitar solo of all time 🎸
I personally prefer the version from the delicate sound of thunder live concert.
Both his vocal and guitar solo parts where better.
Closer to the original also.
One of the most beautiful songs ever
It is somewhat ironic that you did both Nightwish GLS and Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb almost back to back. I have seen both bands live (along with hundreds of other concerts) and Nightwish closing their concert with Ghost Love Score followed by The Greatest Show on Earth, and Pink Floyd closing their show with Comfortably Numb followed by Run Like Hell, are the two most epic finishes to concerts that I have ever seen. It is no coincidence that these are two of the best live bands period.
Saw this live at the docklands arena London it was an experience of a lifetime that's for sure
Was there to, my first live experience of Pink Floyd, was amazing
Headphones or earbuds to get the whole effect.
Brings back so many great memories, thanks for the great reaction.
The effectiveness of this song isn't just because of the lights, the music or how they perform it. Listen to each line and you will recognize it is peppered with trigger words. Sick, balloons, fever, child, relax, information, hurts, hello, home, down, pain, ship, smoke, horizon, waves, lips...
They are all words that a therapist might communicate to you during a session, or present on flash cards to you to find out what they make you think of.
Pink Floyd's effect......best band ever... No comment 🔥
After this, you should check out "Run Like Hell", which was the encore that closed the show. You will think, how could they possibly follow this? Once you see it you will understand this was the perfect song to bring the audience out of the music coma they were in after this one. Probably enabled everyone to function and get home. You can't go wrong with Pink Floyd. The song is about a time when Roger Waters had an illness before a show and had to be given a sedative to function and it reminded him of a time when he was sick as a child.
I saw them 5 times on this tour, and in each case, I was still in complete awe by the overwhelming audio and video experience of Run Like Hell. I mean, they showcase a lot of the lighting effects throughout the show (and the rest of the show is straight up amazing), but it is not until the finale when they kick everything on, that you realize how visually stunning this is.
I sparked up my pipe for this reaction, as I always do for Pink Floyd tunes... Thanks
Many people consider this to be the finest live rock guitar solo of all time. As good as this performance is there's another one from this same concert that I like even better (maybe because I've seen this one so many times). Check out Sorrow from this same Pulse concert. Overall one of the finest live rock concerts ever caught on video.
I love the fact that many years on PINK FLOYD who were the landscape of my youth are inspiring a whole new generation across the board. Rap fans especially seem to get this band!
You came thru', as always, Ladies but after 5 early pauses,I WAS getting a little concerned that the flow was being interrupted too much because I knew the second half would mesmerize you both and I was worried you were going to pause further but you didn't and we got the benefit of that wondrous guitar solo and accompanying Light Show.🤞
I was really impressed by the fact that you are the first all Female Reactors to, openly, have totally diverse opinions and that is so refreshing to see and hear and, instantly, both move on, which was great.. I was one of the multitudes who recommended this and you still have the following LIVE performances to be amazed by:0
1/ GARY MOORE- Firstly at Montreux playing "Parisienne Walkways"(there's a surprise in that one !) and, Secondly "I've Still Got The Blues For You" in Paris.
2/ Led Zeppelin: "Stairway To Heaven" at Madison Square Garden
3/ Lynyrd Skynard- Freebird @ Oakland 1977".....ENJOY
Thank you Isle! Or should I say Skye! That was a very nice comment. Yes, we do pause frequently but once that light show and guitar solo started we were very mesmerized! Great thing about us is we interpret music differently and that works for us. We will definitely write down the other songs you suggested
Then add "The Eagles-Hotel California" LIVE @ Capitol Centre😀
@@generationgapreacts Thanks.
I will bid you a fond farewell as it is 4.20am here on the very edge of South East London and Kent and time for my 4 hours of sleep.😀
Also, "The bluest blues" by Alvin Lee.
Wow, you two are in for some real entertainment going down this road.
Just fantastic! Dave Gilmour is a supreme guitarist, and the rest of the band are terrific musicians also.
Now you need to listen to ECHOES - for me the last time it was played at GDAŃSK by David Gilmour with Rick Wright is very special.
Never, ever, EVER pause a guitar solo, ESPECIALLY not David Gilmores!!!!!!
Pink Floyd, one of the greatest bands of all time. I saw them live a couple times. This song always made me feel so free and wonderful. Kinda warm and floating above it all. Peace 🕊️☮️ and Love 💖💕
I've watched a dozen reactions to this song in the past day. And you can pinpoint the exact moment in every person when the brain loses thought and transitions to feeling. Young, old, black, white, hip hop to opera, everyone checks into that moment and it's crazy to see how universal it is. It's a guitar solo that talks to everyone
I'm so glad that I for one, know what it's really about.
So pleased to say I was there.. Earl's Court London 1994. Incredible x
From the same 1994 Pulse Concert, check out ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (PART2).
Enjoy your Pink Floyd journey ladies !!!
Peace and Love
Just standing there in his tshirt squeezing your heart...
I was lucky enough, as a young lad, to be there and watch it in person. By far the best concert I've ever been to.
Anything from Pulse is epic!
OMG your the first reactor i have seen that actually got the song with out listing to the Wall album! that is so great!
Pontiac Silver Dome 1994!!! Me, my wife, best friend, and my brother-in-law. My wife 8 months pregnant with our son!
Absolutely the greatest concert of my extensive concert lifetime!!! In an interview with David Gilmore and Richard Wright, when asked about their favorite venue, immediately said Pontiac Silver Dome!! And they played the whole Dark Side of the Moon album in concert for the first time since the Dark Side tour of the early 1970s. Specifically because we were the best audience of their tour.
😊💖💕💯💥
They create atmosphere with their music.
It was the beginning of the 80s and it was time to get comfortable and numb. Hang on!!!
I was there...still brings tears to my eyes
The most amazing thing about Pink Floyd's music is an experience. This band will take you on a journey with a song.
i saw this gig but in wembley stadium and it was fantastic, i will always remember it as the best gig ive been to, and the most emotionally experience ive ever had...
it was awesome I was there april 26 1994 el paso texas/ the live show was just as you see it
I was fortunate to have seen the Pulse tour in London and it was quite an experience. An assault on the senses. An array of emotions. And I think I actually was comfortably numb.
Saw them twice in concert - '72 in OKC and they didn't fill a smaller venue 1/2 way and the 80's in Dallas Texas stadium. Yes, both were epic and unforgettable.
I was there and you have no idea how good it was, mind-blowing.
I've been a FAN of Pink Floyd since about 1971 when a friend of mine introduced them to me. I was 18 yrs old. We have grown old together and I can't imagine growing up without them. Thank you Bill for introducing me to them. After all of these years, I still adore putting on my headphones and just melting away in the world that they create.
Also, i got to see Pink Floyd in concert in 1995 in Vancouver BC. It is EVERYTHING that it seems to be!
