When David played the second solo, i think that's the moment an electric guitar reaches its maximum capacity. Its undoubtedly the best electric guitar solo in the history of humanity.
You are correct. The double string bends towards the end of the solo are simply sublime and I've never heard anything like it since. It's other-worldly.
David , le plus grand guitariste au monde avec ce solo . A chaque fois que j’écoute ce morceau, j’en n’ai la chair de poule . Depuis l’âge de 15 ans, j’écoute Pink Floyd et je suis toujours aussi dingue de Pink Floyd même à 65 ans maintenant
The end wasn't a horrible, but deeply satisfying moment. A good piece of music is going towards the end when it's at its climax. Delaying it is watering it down.
@@krischan67 Did you miss the point I was making? I never wanted the song to end because the real world is not as deeply satisfying as Comfortably numb played live...
@@TheComputec I know what you meant. I didn't want the song to end as well, but there's an end to everything. The question is what's the best moment for the end.
@@krischan67 Probaly blasphemy to have a dig at the way DG ended this, but the random run at the very very end doesn't really add anything for me. I would have preferred a long screaming note that just got more and more distorted and reverb heavy (a-la-gary moore) and then a really sharp stop... just my opinion.
@@randallmartin2549 , the original version of this old joke is much better. And it goes; A young Indian Brave asked his father one day, "why is my sister named Running Deer?" His father replied "because on the day she was conceived, the first thing I saw after your mother and I made love, was a running deer." "O.K., thanks father", said the son. To which his father replied "your welcome Broken Rubber."
You might change your mind if you listen to (the studio version of) the title track from Camel's "Stationary Traveller". Gave me goosebumps when I first heard it 35 years ago and still does. Every time.
David Gilmour is the greatest guitarist that’s ever existed, and it’s not necessarily for his technical ability or speed. There are plenty of shredders out there that can play a million miles an hour solos. The reason he’s so good is that his solos always serve the song, it’s never about ‘How good I am’. Gilmour has never been a show-off guitarist. It’s always about the music, the song, and how the solo can serve the song and enhance it.
Well said. It was never about speed nor shredding. The greatest guitar players were never technical freaks, e.g. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Frank Zappa and so on...
What a man can do , only with 10 fingers , 6 strings and a tiny little piece of plastic ... Give thousands of people goosebumps and chills on their skins .
There is a lot more than Pink Floyd out there... not saying it is not great but I can think of at least three bands that have achieved a lot better guitar solos.
LOL, being trolled because of a good comment, so pushed to troll back and now accused of being a troll? Sadly I was expecting a good conversation about music: I know everything Pink Floyd ever recorded and have seen them live twice... at least my opinion of this band did not change by this quite bad experience. It was also good how little time I wasted with you guys. Peace
This was My wife's all time favorite song, it would get played over and over on a sunday morning on number 11. The house would shake, but the neighbors never complained. It was played one last time at her funeral. I cannot listen to it now without the tears streaming down my face, without sadness and joy in my heart. I could not listen to it for a long time after my wifes passing, but now whenever i want to reflect on the happy times we had together, i put this on real loud let the tears fall, and smile at all the wonderful memories she left behind. Thank You Mr Gilmore, for writing and playing one of the most emotional peices of music of all time. It will surely be played when I pass, and rightly so.
That second solo is honestly the greatest guitar piece I have ever heard. The feeling while listening makes me know I'll never hear better. It's a world of emotions without a single lyric. How???? His creation here is a musical gift from the universe to all of humanity.
You don't set the bar very high. OK, it was a fantastic show, but that's all it was - a show. Try building the Hoover Dam sometime. Or finding out how a disease attacks human tissue so you can develop something to combat it successfully. There are at least 18 other examples I could come up with, but for lack of time. So I'm thinking this PF show would not be able to crack the top 20.
I was there. 12th row. My buddies and I. 4 tickets. Cost us 275 US dollars a ticket which was an enormous amount money back then- especially for 4 broke college students. Now the memory for me is priceless. Cheers.
Knives_The_Explorer, if you are only 12 you've got plenty of time to become the next David Gilmour. Do it, don't leave it until you're too old like I did.
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible.
@@berkecemburke318 Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David and he gave us both a signed album. We chatted for 22 minutes while he signed others albums. 35 lucky people won tickets. It was AWESOME show.
@@AliasMark69 wow amazing. I was born into the wrong generation :( It’s almost 40 years ago but you still remember like yesterday. Even this shows us how huge is David Gilmour.
The final guitar solo (as well as the whole song) of Comfortably Numb is. in my humble opinion, simply the most powerful piece of music ever created....it doesn't matter if is 10 year old me hearing it for the first time, or as an adult hearing it for the millionth time, it speaks to my soul like no other piece of art I have ever experienced...Thank you David Gilmour...
i don't know what it is about this song and time, it just gets to me every god damn time. Every time it feels like i am listening it for the first time. No other song has made me feel that way till date. Just pure magic.
@thegeorgezila Yup! Dave Gilmour in full flight makes it seem new every single time. And that's coming from someone who first heard it when it was new, too. Also, it pleases me that the biggest song on what was essentially a Roger Waters vanity project is not his.
I don't care what anyone thinks I watch this video constantly I'm going through very tough times every time I listen to it I cry, tears rolling down my face shivers down my spine. This just goes right to my soul. Soul
P.s. No matter how hard you try, there are no words to describe feelings when you hear this solo live. I was lucky enough to hear it on RTL tour. I can only imagine feelings on this one.
I'm 25 years old, I'm crying right now. this song but especially this solo accompanied me since I was a child Today I cry, but I don't cry for anyone else but myself. for what I have lived and overcome 25 years of my life summarized in the best solo in history. Thanks, David.
Never really understood Pink Floyd as as a kid. Then when my marriage started to fall apart it all made sense especially this one. Easily one of the greatest songs ever written
I don't think any other show gave experience like Pulse did !! It was such a trance experience, it was enigmatic and psychedelic. Few of them were on acid, god knows the experience they had. That energy, million watt lasers and neon, mind bending guitar solos; it was pure heaven. But i enjoyed these( just picking for overall ambiance and performance) Pink Floyd Live 08 Led Zep at RAH 70' Maiden at Chile (En Vivo) 11' Daft Punk at Coachella Valley 06' NightWish at Wacken 13' Devin Townsend Project at RAH 15' (not good as pulse but amazing experience) that'a all i can remember now !!
My sister was born 80% deaf in both ears. and now almost 95% deaf in one of her ears, and she is stalling on getting a cochlear implant. Because she has relied on hearing aids for over 5 decades, it's part of her identity which I think is her struggle for moving forward with an implant. When I hear this solo, I describe the sense of hearing as a true gift of mine. imagine what she is missing? What can I say to convince her to go through with the surgery?
I remember seeing this live. The lights dimmed in the stadium during the solo. The giant mirrorball came out, all the spots on it. Breathtaking, I had tears in my eyes.And the solo went on. Epic.
I always come back here, and I am always surprised like the first time I heard it. It's hard to find some words, but I'll try. From the start, this is pure brilliance. And then, guitar solo comes - and you're somewhere else... You're not here... Tears just start falling down my face... It's the feeling like you're somewhere else and it feels perfect.. I really can't describe this. It feels amazing...
Rebbie Mercury A feeling impossible to describe but felt by many. It really feels incredible, as if the body is the only thing stopping my soul from soaring high.
Rebbie Mercury Mainstay of Pink Floyd , is a guitarist with a sound and feel pretty unique . Recognizable after listening to a few notes , has a style very melodic and complex , despite the choice of notes always points to a great simplicity true virtuoso of the instrument , he has never played fast but always intensely and heart . The work of Gilmour as a musician can not be limited only to the guitar. Great experimenter of sound , has been able to radically innovate the sound of modern electric guitar . He also knew how to use all possible expressive capabilities of the instrument also to create contexts harmonic ethereal , mysterious , majestic , distressing ... ie the entire heritage of the Pink Floyd sound . A guitarist as every guitarist should be . A master in every sense , modern even today . I will never stop listening to " the dark side of the moon " , in " Animals" , in "wish you where here"in"The Division Bell".
Rebbie Mercury What I find every single time I listen to this particular song, I quiver. There is something special, almost magic about his performance. If you really listen to the melody Gilmour is able to express through his guitar you wonder how can someone play so naturally and achieve an incredible result, making it look quite simple. I am fully absorbed by his unique style and talent, and I shed tears of joy listening to this masterpiece. Pink Floyd are definitely part of the story of Music, like Genesis.
Many guitarists can rip up and down the guitar neck and have throngs of people screaming after them, but NOBODY can make a guitar sing like David Gilmour can. Nobody.
Yes we did, I was there :D Can you hear the roar of the crowd as the giltterball was first revealed? When you were in the crowd that roar was deafening!
It's nearly impossible to witness something this close to perfection and not be struck to the core of your soul. People have the same reaction nearly 50 years on watching Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont...Perfection is so rare that are emotions are staggered by it.
I've complained as well. This post got fixed. Imagine being at a concert and the band stops literally mid-note and some damnable ad for potato chips comes on. Wtf
I wonder if Dave Gilmour knew that he created history there? That this particular rendition would be considered one of the standout performances of all time.
AT LAST !!!! Someone that thinks this is the greatest version with the greatest guitar solo ever !!!! My kindred spirit !!! The stars aliened from this song in 1994. IF music has any power the universal vibration changed at this very moment !
I believe that one day humans will study Pink Floyd like they do with Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. I grew up with my dad playing Pink Floyd and he would get goosebumps but I didn't know why. Now I am 31 and I get goosebumps.
My Father passed away in 2003 when I was 18 years old. He never explicit mentioned that he likes Pink Floyd, that he listen to them very frequently when he was young. My Mother told me many years later when I picked Comfortably Numb just to play along in the Background when she was visiting me for Coffee. It is interesting that without any big Influence of my Father, I too listen very frequently to Pink Floyd. Especially this Song. This Song make me feel connected to my Father more than any other Memory could. Sounds kind of weird, but it is what it is. It's heeling my Soul.
My first born, a son passed away in 2010 at age 24. This post was our favorite. We watched it together many many times. I played David’s part in a band. Watching it brings me back to when he was with us. 👍👍👀🎸🙏
I was there with my wife, literally the best concert we've ever been too and even now after all this time it still brings tears to my eyes, the best thing is my kids are into Floyd now - circle of life.
True story : I wound up in a job with a few younger people around. I never mentioned my musical tastes until, amazingly, some of them said they loved Floyd. I hit them with the fact that I had seen them live in 1988 & 1994, and blew their minds. 😊
When I saw the DVD of this concert for the 1st time I was blown away. Over the years i thought maybe when i saw this i didnt know better. I have seen many concerts and nothing comes close to this. I am jealous of anyone who was there :)
Like wise, but i was there with my ex wife, not sure what she told the new boyfriend. My girls are also into PF, now 27, so at least i've passed something onto them., apart from my good looks of course.
The fact that he hits those spine chilling pinch harmonics in the middle of it makes me feel so good every time, and ive heard it thousands of times. What a player.
I can close my eyes and just see him swaying back and forth while doing it!! The entire performance is burned into my mind and I can pull it up any time I need it!!
As a guitar player this moves me to tears... I can not even explain what he is capable of doing with his hands. I'm 18 now and I often deeply wish some people of my age would understand the beautiness of real music...
Just goes to show how timeless it is, what with the young converts lining up in the thousands, only once they've waded through the mire of crap out there
This particular live performance of Comfortably Numb will always be very important to me. Ten years ago I was hanging out with a friend in his bedroom at home at his parents. I let it slip that I in my 20 years of living had never heard a single Pink Floyd song and my friend was so horrified and put a DVD with this concert on his tiny tv. We lay on his bed and he skipped to this song and just let me absorb it with him. This moment will always be special to me. I didn't know it at the time but he was eventually become my boyfriend a couple of months later and today is our 10 year anniversary. I love him so much and I always think about him in his teenage bedroom listening and watching while he lay next to me and was so triumphant that he had managed to impress me with pink Floyd haha ❤
@@waynechurch2981 aw that's so sweet! I'm happy for you two ❤ 44 years is very impressive and heartwaeming ❤ how did you two meet? :D it's so nice when you meet someone that just make sense to you even if you're polar opposites in most areas. My bf and I are very different people too and we have almost nothing in common but that seems to not be a hindrance at all. He's just a really really nice person and everybody who meets him loves him and I'm just lucky he decided to be with me.
Happy Anniversary, all the best to you guys. That's such a precious memory, and the best thing is that it is preserved in music so you'll always have it to cherish. One of the great joys about being with one's partner in life is all the things you share and will share together-- songs, nature, friends, quiet moments, television, food, laughter, movies, trips. Next August will be my 30th anniversary with my partner, and I never stop enjoying it: inside jokes, fun quotes we both love, a song on the radio that sparks a memory, exploring interests you never had until you met him. Enjoy it. And thanks for sharing that wonderful memory.
This is the greatest version of Comfortably Numb. I prefer this version even over the studio version! The solo in this one is just out of this world. David Gilmour is truly a guitar God. He has always and will always be my ALL TIME favorite musician.
Well, I went to the new ABBA concert in London. That too was nothing like I have ever seen and is possibly the way all concerts will go in the future. Simply amazing. But back to David G, his guitar solo is 9 minutes of pure musical genius.
This is, in my opinion, the best live recording of any song of the history of music, it is even better that the album version, or the film version. I don't think no one in the world will ever do something as mind blowing as this, no matter how great today recording technology is, even if this happened already almost 30 years ago. Edit: My uncle just died and this is his favorite band in the world, and this is one of his favorite songs of them. I remember the day he showed me this concert and when this song came along he warned me about this masterpiece solo. I grew up to be a PInk Floyd fan myself, a music fan in general, all thanks to him. He is such a huge influence in my life, in every aspect of it. I'm gonna miss him so much, it's very hard. And this song and many others are going to remind of him. I'm glad for it though, that way he's never going to leave me. Te quiero mucho, tío!!! Estoy muy feliz de llevar tu nombre. No te olvidaré
@@jesselewis5699 That's an amazing live recording too, not only because of the sound, that was awesome, also because of the great entertainment performance Freddy did, but in my opinion PULSE is on another level
1994, half a lifetime ago, Earl's Court, London. Elevated to a different plane of existence albeit for few hours, upto that point I didn't understand the power of music. That concert changed me.
Salut, qu'elle chance tu as eu de les voir mais le plus important de les entendre, non, écouter Live !❤ Je n'ose même pas imaginer le bonheur, et la boule au ventre d'enfin assister à un événement. Quand je pense qu'il y a des idiots qui osent dire que c'est nul, je m'occuperais volontiers de ce genre d'oiseaux ! Si tu parles anglais, serais-tu d'accord de me traduire quques titres s.t.p ? Si tu n'as pas le temps ce n'est pas grave, je me débrouillerai autrement ! En attendant d'avoir de tes nouvelles, je te souhaites une belle fin d'été et que tes oreilles restent affûtées !👍🏼😉
This is how this song and solo overall should be remembered, forget the studio version or any other concert version, few times happens that a live version of a song is better than the studio but here we have the proof that it can actually may happen once in a while, the other being pink floyd aswell with high hopes on this very concert, no doubt David Gilmour is the true king of the pentatonics, so much heart, passion and soul on that solo. Goosepumps and shivers all along.
and its an incredible accomplishment, because they were the greatest studio band of all time. Hard to out do thier work in the studio but they did here.
I'm sure there are more bands, but atm i can only recall Gojira that has had concerts way better than albums. But Gojira's music sounds so simple compared to Pink Floyd... Anyway, truly amazing thing is that balancedness of music, how listener can hear every sound, vocal equally in that concert
Stairway is awsome but just over a minute long This is almost 5mins It is a much deeper expirience that takes you on a journey Stairway is just an orgasmic explosion of those 7 mins of the song before it that build up to it, that is the main reason why it is so good, and also it is a great fucking solo in itself But you can’t really compare it to this 5 minute rhapsody
Marko Lukšić The studio version of stairway is fucking great but listen to the live version (especially How the west was won live). This is pure genius
Everybody talks about the guitar solo... but have you hear Nick Mason drum play ? Simple and 100% dedicated to the song, I wish more drummers could do that... Nick Mason is a gift, such as Gilmour of course...
This is my first time listening to this song, just wanted to express what it was like listening to the solo; Before I had even realized, i was in another world in the depths of my mind, my body went numb. For a moment i lost my senses and as i regained them realizing that my heart was racing listening to this heavenly sent sound, it was pure ecstasy.
Daniel I agree with you so much... that's so awesome seeing people's reaction to this solo... and especially the ones who get the emotion behind it! that's awesome and also: +LykABoss check out "sorrow" and also "shine on you crazy diamond" live in 1994 because those are two other songs with amazing guitar work in it like this song.

For sure the best

Absolutely agreed. Hands down the best piece of music of all time.

Subjective, but I agree.
Same way ive felt for years ever since i 1st heard it in 1995. He makes that Guitar cry for forgiveness from God himself
STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
Definitely, I've to agree.... Spatially after I saw this performance. I've never seen any guitarist perform like this live
Quite possibly the greatest guitar solo of all time.
The greatest perhaps

So I'm thinking this PF show would not be able to crack the top 20.

I was there. 12th row. My buddies and I. 4 tickets. Cost us 275 US dollars a ticket which was an enormous amount money back then- especially for 4 broke college students. Now the memory for me is priceless. Cheers.
It is the equivalent to 455 US dollars today, if anyone is wondering...
And I fucking envy you, mate.
Lucky bastards
Seen this show 23 may 1994 in Montreal and i still get goose bumps just listening to it. Floyd was great back then..Still is..
Knives_The_Explorer, if you are only 12 you've got plenty of time to become the next David Gilmour. Do it, don't leave it until you're too old like I did.
man you had the time of your life
Here for the solo in 2024 😮
Same 🥳
2022 and I'm still coming back for more. Who else is doing the same.
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know.
All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible.
Even when I read, the text teared me up.
How lucky you are. I would give my 2 years to live this moment without hesitate.
@@berkecemburke318 Back in O.C. Calif when I was 27 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David and he gave us both a signed album. We chatted for 22 minutes while he signed others albums. 35 lucky people won tickets. It was AWESOME show.
@@AliasMark69 wow amazing. I was born into the wrong generation :( It’s almost 40 years ago but you still remember like yesterday. Even this shows us how huge is David Gilmour.

This song literally brings tears to my eyes… pure ecstasy for the ears and your soul. Even after decades,it hasn’t lost it’s magic.
The final guitar solo (as well as the whole song) of Comfortably Numb is. in my humble opinion, simply the most powerful piece of music ever created....it doesn't matter if is 10 year old me hearing it for the first time, or as an adult hearing it for the millionth time, it speaks to my soul like no other piece of art I have ever experienced...Thank you David Gilmour...
i don't know what it is about this song and time, it just gets to me every god damn time.
Every time it feels like i am listening it for the first time.
No other song has made me feel that way till date.
Just pure magic.
E J Moscato You speak for many.
Whoa
i almost got hit by a car doing circles in the parking lot listeing to this song 2o yrs ago
Thank you Roger, Nick and Rick!
TH-cam put an ad right in the middle of the solo for me... this is a crime against humanity
This is my first time listening to it, im scared now cuz there has not been a single ad yet and the solo is just starting
I fu#$% hate the ads in the middle of the solo wtf
Had to restart the whole song

I wish I could listen to this for the first time again.
There was so. Many great gutarist come from England back then
I just did
The first time never seen enough.
No shit. This is incredible.
@thegeorgezila Yup! Dave Gilmour in full flight makes it seem new every single time. And that's coming from someone who first heard it when it was new, too. Also, it pleases me that the biggest song on what was essentially a Roger Waters vanity project is not his.
I don't care what anyone thinks I watch this video constantly I'm going through very tough times every time I listen to it I cry, tears rolling down my face shivers down my spine. This just goes right to my soul. Soul

First or second?

@James Hodson its never too late to learn :)
Never really understood Pink Floyd as as a kid. Then when my marriage started to fall apart it all made sense especially this one. Easily one of the greatest songs ever written
i wish the solo would never end....
It could go on for at least another ten minutes
I know right. Wayy to short!
Best guitar solo I've ever heard and it definitely should be longer. My favorite.
that is why I listen to it daily....They seem to get better with age....check on Pompeii 2016 same song
Best I ever hear
Thought pornography wasn't allowed on youtube.
could anyone suggest a show, no matter what genre, where everything (lights and show overall) was even more brilliantly planned than at Pulse?
jesus christ "masterpiece" is way too easy word for it
I can't.
:):):):)
I don't think any other show gave experience like Pulse did !! It was such a trance experience, it was enigmatic and psychedelic. Few of them were on acid, god knows the experience they had. That energy, million watt lasers and neon, mind bending guitar solos; it was pure heaven.
But i enjoyed these( just picking for overall ambiance and performance)
Pink Floyd Live 08
Led Zep at RAH 70'
Maiden at Chile (En Vivo) 11'
Daft Punk at Coachella Valley 06'
NightWish at Wacken 13'
Devin Townsend Project at RAH 15' (not good as pulse but amazing experience) that'a all i can remember now !!
I was at this concert. It was amazing. Sometimes there are benefits to being an English Old Fart
Every time I listen to the whole album I feel very sad about not having the possibility of living this concert. To be honest, I cry for this.
I was there too, but I'm a Welsh Old Fart, now living in Canada.
I said to myself one minute ago: I really envy every single person who attended this concert live. So you faced the best solo in rock history
Do you think the surviving members will your one more time after the coronavirus crap?
ive got to ask, was the moment at 6:45 as amazing as I'm imagining it was?
I went deaf 8 years ago I thank god every day for this cochlear implant i have to hear this man play a guitar truly amazing
My sister was born 80% deaf in both ears. and now almost 95% deaf in one of her ears, and she is stalling on getting a cochlear implant. Because she has relied on hearing aids for over 5 decades, it's part of her identity which I think is her struggle for moving forward with an implant. When I hear this solo, I describe the sense of hearing as a true gift of mine. imagine what she is missing? What can I say to convince her to go through with the surgery?

💯
I remember seeing this live. The lights dimmed in the stadium during the solo. The giant mirrorball came out, all the spots on it. Breathtaking, I had tears in my eyes.And the solo went on. Epic.
I was there too. Also had tears in my eyes. My fave song of all time. I've heard it live 3 times since by Roger Waters.
Im not jealous!

I am sure we need to be comfortably numb to get through this. 😁
I always come back here, and I am always surprised like the first time I heard it. It's hard to find some words, but I'll try. From the start, this is pure brilliance. And then, guitar solo comes - and you're somewhere else... You're not here... Tears just start falling down my face... It's the feeling like you're somewhere else and it feels perfect.. I really can't describe this. It feels amazing...
Rebbie Mercury A feeling impossible to describe but felt by many. It really feels incredible, as if the body is the only thing stopping my soul from soaring high.
GlassPrisionerPT That's right.
Rebbie Mercury Mainstay of Pink Floyd , is a guitarist with a sound and feel pretty unique . Recognizable after listening to a few notes , has a style very melodic and complex , despite the choice of notes always points to a great simplicity true virtuoso of the instrument , he has never played fast but always intensely and heart .
The work of Gilmour as a musician can not be limited only to the guitar. Great experimenter of sound , has been able to radically innovate the sound of modern electric guitar . He also knew how to use all possible expressive capabilities of the instrument also to create contexts harmonic ethereal , mysterious , majestic , distressing ... ie the entire heritage of the Pink Floyd sound . A guitarist as every guitarist should be . A master in every sense , modern even today . I will never stop listening to " the dark side of the moon " , in " Animals" , in "wish you where here"in"The Division Bell".
Giuseppe Piccirillo Love your comment. I agree.
Rebbie Mercury What I find every single time I listen to this particular song, I quiver. There is something special, almost magic about his performance. If you really listen to the melody Gilmour is able to express through his guitar you wonder how can someone play so naturally and achieve an incredible result, making it look quite simple. I am fully absorbed by his unique style and talent, and I shed tears of joy listening to this masterpiece. Pink Floyd are definitely part of the story of Music, like Genesis.
Many guitarists can rip up and down the guitar neck and have throngs of people screaming after them, but NOBODY can make a guitar sing like David Gilmour can. Nobody.
I was about to mention Knopfler and a few others, but then I realized you're right. Nobody.
Gary Moore could.
This audience may well have witnessed the greatest solo in guitar history
No lies detected
Yes we did, I was there :D Can you hear the roar of the crowd as the giltterball was first revealed? When you were in the crowd that roar was deafening!
04:55 So begins five straight minutes of the greatest guitar playing you’ll ever hear.
How is it possible that a guitar solo he's heard hundreds of times can still make a grown man cry?
Me too
It's not just a guitar solo - it's an anthem to a great influence to civilization
Absolutely fuck yeah
ericynot amazing huh! I know this feeling well!
It's nearly impossible to witness something this close to perfection and not be struck to the core of your soul. People have the same reaction nearly 50 years on watching Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont...Perfection is so rare that are emotions are staggered by it.

My Father passed away in 2003 when I was 18 years old. He never explicit mentioned that he likes Pink Floyd, that he listen to them very frequently when he was young. My Mother told me many years later when I picked Comfortably Numb just to play along in the Background when she was visiting me for Coffee. It is interesting that without any big Influence of my Father, I too listen very frequently to Pink Floyd. Especially this Song.
This Song make me feel connected to my Father more than any other Memory could. Sounds kind of weird, but it is what it is. It's heeling my Soul.
My first born, a son passed away in 2010 at age 24. This post was our favorite. We watched it together many many times. I played David’s part in a band. Watching it brings me back to when he was with us. 👍👍👀🎸🙏

This solo is the most professional moment in human history.
I was there with my wife, literally the best concert we've ever been too and even now after all this time it still brings tears to my eyes, the best thing is my kids are into Floyd now - circle of life.
Simon Fitzgerald Pink Floyd has the power to touch you on so many levels. They're amazing!!!
True story : I wound up in a job with a few younger people around. I never mentioned my musical tastes until, amazingly, some of them said they loved Floyd.
I hit them with the fact that I had seen them live in 1988 & 1994, and blew their minds. 😊
You obviously haven't been out much then.
When I saw the DVD of this concert for the 1st time I was blown away. Over the years i thought maybe when i saw this i didnt know better. I have seen many concerts and nothing comes close to this. I am jealous of anyone who was there :)
Like wise, but i was there with my ex wife, not sure what she told the new boyfriend. My girls are also into PF, now 27, so at least i've passed something onto them., apart from my good looks of course.
The fact that he hits those spine chilling pinch harmonics in the middle of it makes me feel so good every time, and ive heard it thousands of times. What a player.
I can close my eyes and just see him swaying back and forth while doing it!! The entire performance is burned into my mind and I can pull it up any time I need it!!
After this solo the universe was created

As a guitar player this moves me to tears... I can not even explain what he is capable of doing with his hands. I'm 18 now and I often deeply wish some people of my age would understand the beautiness of real music...

good luck with that one Jonas, my son found solace in Floyd music, but other rap loving delinquents think i'm in a time warp

This particular live performance of Comfortably Numb will always be very important to me. Ten years ago I was hanging out with a friend in his bedroom at home at his parents. I let it slip that I in my 20 years of living had never heard a single Pink Floyd song and my friend was so horrified and put a DVD with this concert on his tiny tv. We lay on his bed and he skipped to this song and just let me absorb it with him. This moment will always be special to me. I didn't know it at the time but he was eventually become my boyfriend a couple of months later and today is our 10 year anniversary. I love him so much and I always think about him in his teenage bedroom listening and watching while he lay next to me and was so triumphant that he had managed to impress me with pink Floyd haha ❤

One of the great joys about being with one's partner in life is all the things you share and will share together-- songs, nature, friends, quiet moments, television, food, laughter, movies, trips. Next August will be my 30th anniversary with my partner, and I never stop enjoying it: inside jokes, fun quotes we both love, a song on the radio that sparks a memory, exploring interests you never had until you met him. Enjoy it. And thanks for sharing that wonderful memory.

i wish you good health and well-being, sir.
i do agree with you 100%.
This is the greatest version of Comfortably Numb. I prefer this version even over the studio version! The solo in this one is just out of this world. David Gilmour is truly a guitar God. He has always and will always be my ALL TIME favorite musician.
listen comfortably numb live from venice in 1989 for me it is the best one
So you did not attend one of the The Wall Shows back in 1980/1981?
listen Live At Knebworth Park 1990.

This is THE best live performance to ever be preformed. Nothing will ever compare
BY FAR
I’m not sure, Santana’s Woodstock performance of Soul Sacrifice is pretty close
There is tons to choose. But this one is up there
Well, I went to the new ABBA concert in London. That too was nothing like I have ever seen and is possibly the way all concerts will go in the future. Simply amazing. But back to David G, his guitar solo is 9 minutes of pure musical genius.
This is, in my opinion, the best live recording of any song of the history of music, it is even better that the album version, or the film version. I don't think no one in the world will ever do something as mind blowing as this, no matter how great today recording technology is, even if this happened already almost 30 years ago.
Edit:
My uncle just died and this is his favorite band in the world, and this is one of his favorite songs of them. I remember the day he showed me this concert and when this song came along he warned me about this masterpiece solo. I grew up to be a PInk Floyd fan myself, a music fan in general, all thanks to him. He is such a huge influence in my life, in every aspect of it. I'm gonna miss him so much, it's very hard. And this song and many others are going to remind of him. I'm glad for it though, that way he's never going to leave me. Te quiero mucho, tío!!! Estoy muy feliz de llevar tu nombre. No te olvidaré
I was there! I've been to many concerts but this one sticks out in my memory, and I am so thankful I can relive it through youtube.

This is how this song and solo overall should be remembered, forget the studio version or any other concert version, few times happens that a live version of a song is better than the studio but here we have the proof that it can actually may happen once in a while, the other being pink floyd aswell with high hopes on this very concert, no doubt David Gilmour is the true king of the pentatonics, so much heart, passion and soul on that solo. Goosepumps and shivers all along.
i totally agree. in this concert PF were better then themselves in studio :)
and its an incredible accomplishment, because they were the greatest studio band of all time. Hard to out do thier work in the studio but they did here.
I'm sure there are more bands, but atm i can only recall Gojira that has had concerts way better than albums. But Gojira's music sounds so simple compared to Pink Floyd...
Anyway, truly amazing thing is that balancedness of music, how listener can hear every sound, vocal equally in that concert
Unique solo improv
yes!!!
Who’s here in 2020 bc this is the best live performance ever?
well, these kind of comments are just lame, dude. wtf, find ANYTHING else to say to a masterpiece of originality.

Perfect except the voices that could be better. That's the only weakness.
Yo no me canso de esta canción y en esta version 1994
Y del solo en el minuto 4:55
Por un 2020 por pink floyd y mas..
This is the greatest guitar solo ever written.
Yes mate on a par with stairway to heaven..
Stairway is awsome but just over a minute long
This is almost 5mins
It is a much deeper expirience that takes you on a journey
Stairway is just an orgasmic explosion of those 7 mins of the song before it that build up to it, that is the main reason why it is so good, and also it is a great fucking solo in itself
But you can’t really compare it to this 5 minute rhapsody
It was not written. Irrepetible.
Marko Lukšić The studio version of stairway is fucking great but listen to the live version (especially How the west was won live). This is pure genius
Everybody talks about the guitar solo... but have you hear Nick Mason drum play ? Simple and 100% dedicated to the song, I wish more drummers could do that... Nick Mason is a gift, such as Gilmour of course...
RIGHT!!!!!!
Saw a David Gilmour interview where he stated, simply, that Nick Mason is the Pink Floyd drummer. It's just a fact.
That solo at the end is a fucking masterpiece.
