Gilmour is the only guitarist I've ever seen who can make a crown erupt with applause by playing only a couple of notes. This is what separates him from the rest in my eyes.
Claptons great, but I saw both live multiple times, and without a doubt, Gilmour tops him. Maybe skill wise their similiar, but feeling, yeah it’s not close
I've seen unknown guitar player playing 1st notes of songs and get applause. I'm a Gilmore fan and I've attracted attention just playing the 1st part of "Wish you were here " And other songs. Does that make me a amazing guitar player. I wish.
It takes a real man to go up on stage and play his heart out alone knowing he once had people to play with. Rest in peace all fallen members of Pink Floyd, you all have brought great music to the past generations and future alike. Pink Floyd is a one of a kind band, no one can say different.
Just found out a bit ago that my uncle passed away yesterday. He was the cause of many of my influences today, including Pink Floyd. He was certainly one of a kind...this song is for him today. I am going to miss him and his uniqueness so very much. :*(
+Dawn Welch I'm sorry to hear about your loss, I hope the angelic music of David Gilmour can console you on this sad day. Your uncle sounds like a wonderful man for giving you such positive influences x
+Stuart Haw Oh gosh, yes...I first heard of Pink Floyd when "The Dark Side of the Moon" came out in 1973...I was probably not even 5 yet and I remember seeing the iconic album cover at his house! LOTS of rock at his house (which is now classic, I suppose), like Elton John, Supertramp, Queen... He was also a classic car rebuilder, mostly with the 50's Crown Victorias and such. Talented and beautiful work. I also watched my first Vincent Price movie at his house ("The Raven") and he was into Star Wars, comic books, Halloween, old-school monster flicks,...he was so laid-back and lots of fun! Back in 1975, he took his son (my cousin), my younger brother, and myself to the drive-in to see "Jaws" when it first came out back in 1975. I was 6 years old then...and have been a HUGE shark lover/fan ever since! The things I've mentioned are the things I love and appreciate so much today because of my uncle. My cousin/his son had just held a wonderful party just this past March 5th - we knew time was short (had been diagnosed with ALS just last year), but not this short. We didn't know less than 2 weeks later he'd be gone. There was no way I was going to miss that party! I had hand-written him a 4 1/2 page note telling him how much he meant to me. I got to read it to him and...even though he had lost his ability to speak, I could understand everything. I could tell my uncle remembered EVERYTHING I mentioned in the letter, even though we had not seen each other in ages (his cousin lives closer to me). I got to hug him lots. I got to tell him how much I loved him...but there will always be one more chance I will never get. I am so glad I have no regrets. I am so glad I did not miss that party. One word I described my uncle with in my letter to him? #LEGENDARY Sorry I've written so long...I'm really feeling for my cousin and his family so much now. I look to my cousin to see how awesome his father is, because he is just like his dad. Thanks for listening today...and for your kind words. EDIT: And by golly, I've been cranking out the David Gilmour/Pink Floyd and any other classic rock I can today...Gilmour is the freakin' BEST.
David ..... I know you doing your best to play it alone ..... every time I see you play alone my eyes just drop a tears for the others whom passed away .... thank you Pink Floyd for every piece of music you created ..... and thanks Dived for keeping playing it ...
I'm really sad coz I never attended any of their live events and I just feel like I lost a big part of my life ... any way thanks God that I can listen to them any time I want ......
Jacob Crowell Indeed..Absolutely No One But David Gilmour Would Dare Attempt This Song. Who Else But The Master ...And He Mastered It Of Course. ...RIP Syd Barrett....
sherp2u1 I agree with that. His effects were used to enhance the songs and to be creative... not to cover for lack of vocal skills etc. Pink Floyd is reknown for using a ton of effects, but yeah, not to compensate for lack of skill.
LOVE the few seconds at 1:46 to 1:50 when he smiles. What an awesome feeling it must be to acknowledge that yes, at these moments in time you are, by far, the coolest guy in the room.
at 1:48 the guy who shouted for him better be happy for the rest of his life he made david gilmour smile i probably wouldve cried the whole night just love Pink Floyd that much ✊✊💯
I'm still a man if Pink Floyd's music brings tears to my eyes right? Not all of it of course. Just songs like this one, High Hopes, Marooned, Echoes, to name a few.
You're not alone with that my man:) I love all of those songs too. Marooned is incredible, one of my favorites but it's so hard to pick just one. I was blessed enough to see PF in 1993 ( Division Bell Tour). I'll never forget it.
Every time I see David play I'm reminded that what is on my Floyd records isn't done with studio tricks, but with extreme talent. I am always pleased that he plays what I want to hear from the record, live.
So annoying! Was at a festival a week ago and the people there were more concerned with taking the perfect selfie next to the exhibits rather than actually being in the moment enjoying the event and allowing others to enjoy it as well. All for a picture that fulfills the egocentric nature of that person. Are they going to frame any of them and put them on a wall in their home? In all likelihood they will wind up lost forever when their silly little phone dies, just like the moments they ruined while taking them.
It looks as if this is part of the mind control programs. Paying attention to how people spend their time; t.v./movies, reading/improvement, etc., etc. Seems to me if people are identifying with t.v. characters, they become them to a certain degree; mind control.
+ominousinc Yes! How true! I attended a concert by Brit Floyd (by the way The Best Tribute Band out there)...in Cincinnati @ The Taft Theatre this year. Idiots were getting up and going out to grab a beer & cigarettes....walking In front of our seats...Obviously not there to ENJOY THE SHOW! HELLO!
What a genius. Even now, in 2016 he sounds and plays like he always did. David Gilmour - a very nice person and one of the most talented musicians ever in popular music.
There's a saxophone in my soul. I was forced to stop playing because it took up too much room on the crowded bus to school where I was far ahead of all the other students and the teacher told me I had a natural ability and should keep playing. It was as if they removed part of my body and silenced my voice. I repressed those memories for decades but I'm going to find a sax at a pawn shop or online somewhere and start over. I'm 68 and I'm starting my life again, finally getting back surgery to give me my life back, but I mean ALL of it. I started playing my guitar again and I will find a tenor sax this time. I played alto when I was 12 but I have a bass voice and a different sax fits me now.
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Shine on you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom Blown on the steel breeze Come on, you target for faraway laughter Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon Shine on you crazy diamond Threatened by shadows at night and exposed in the light Shine on you crazy diamond Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision Rode on the steel breeze Come on, you raver, you seer of visions Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
Love the pedal work. That in combo with his awesome guitar playing are a synergy of virtuosic excellence. there is no substitution for outstanding musicianship and he is the top of his craft.
Wow , la premiere fois que jentend le grand jouer , sur un belle guitard acoustique !! Le grand art !! Superbe prestation MERCI Bcp david and all !! Great part of this culture thx :D
It was a very long time ago, and I was very fucked up on drugs. My friend told me. " We ( my group of friends) don't need a Syd Barrett." I got clean and my friend was killed in action. To Sargent Earl James of The United States Marine Corps. Shine on you Beautiful Diamond.
Apenas um homem e um instrumento, mesmo assim, repleto de uma riqueza de qualidade e individualismo através de dois corpos. Realmente, um músico é um ser bastante elevado
When david gilmour, turns down to see his guitar, he still has those youthful eyes of those who watch their strings with the pleasure of feeling the music that emerges from it ....
I remember seeing this and thinking I'd never see David Gilmour play life. He's a bit overweight here, not playing with any of the original members of PF, it's all acoustic (good nonetheless). I really thought this was the end of PF/David's career. Boy was I wrong. Just saw the Rattle the Lock tour. He looks better now, sounds better now, and still has it!
As National Institutes of Health explained "Overweight and obesity may increase the risk of many health problems" - www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/weight-management/health-risks-overweight I suppose Wes was just concerned in that regards. we all want David to stay in good health.

Rudy Fruity iia
He’s David Gilmore.
Ameen
You are correct pal, there's nothing else like pink Floyd and there will never be anything close, absolutely amazing 🤩
David Gilmore is what made Pink Floyd great.
An old black t shirt , old jeans , old song but can gear a pin drop in that audience
Absolute genius 👏
I'm an old man, and for me thats the best, kudos!
Respect. These guys make this planet liveable.
1:45 One or two guys get it from notes.
2:09 Most of them got it.
4:10 OMG! Shine on you :P
That smile at 1:46 though.. priceless.
(Sorry idk how to do the timestamp)
Had it at 1:13 haha

+Dawn Welch one love man, pink floyd is one big inheritance to leave to the loved ones.
+Dawn Welch may your uncle rest in peace and you continue to appreciate David Gilmour!
David ..... I know you doing your best to play it alone ..... every time I see you play alone my eyes just drop a tears for the others whom passed away .... thank you Pink Floyd for every piece of music you created ..... and thanks Dived for keeping playing it ...
Klare taal, respect Man! i grow up with them & still appreciate them , this part of my youth
Omar Waseen
I'm really sad coz I never attended any of their live events and I just feel like I lost a big part of my life ... any way thanks God that I can listen to them any time I want ......
Amen. Enjoy your true friends while they are here.
What an insane song to tackle on your own. That's why Dave's one of the best
Jacob Crowell Indeed..Absolutely No One But David Gilmour Would Dare Attempt This Song. Who Else But The Master ...And He Mastered It Of Course. ...RIP Syd Barrett....
Jacob Crowell absolutely
Those four notes. They just give you goose pimples.
It dont get much better than this
Nope - sue does not. Great music indeed!!
It does, but it doesn't.
hold his beer
This song is part of this mans soul.
One man and a guitar, thats all it takes to swoon a generation!
and lots of effects pedals...
Gregory Holston Jajajajajajja
Ok, some special effects but the music is still pure, uncontaminated by todays voice over, backing tracks lipsynching crap!
sherp2u1 I agree with that. His effects were used to enhance the songs and to be creative... not to cover for lack of vocal skills etc. Pink Floyd is reknown for using a ton of effects, but yeah, not to compensate for lack of skill.
Thanks Gregg, I thought I was hallucinating for a while there. ...
LOVE the few seconds at 1:46 to 1:50 when he smiles. What an awesome feeling it must be to acknowledge that yes, at these moments in time you are, by far, the coolest guy in the room.
I am sure that he does not think that at all. It is actually humility that makes a real artist, and that is what he is.
in the music dictionary david would be defined as master
geoff mewett *legend
@@jakobmartin4303 *God
Please… don't clap clap clap… just be quite and listen…
qui-et . Sound it out, then spell qui-et
I am quite nice most of the time, but sometimes I clap clap clap.
....it´s like good sex, sometimes it is to good to be f***in´quite, to awesome, to good to be quite....
God forbid a rock'n'roll masterpiece provokes an outward emotional reaction
Sometimes you cannot help but clap when you hear one of your favorite tunes :)
at 1:48 the guy who shouted for him better be happy for the rest of his life he made david gilmour smile i probably wouldve cried the whole night just love Pink Floyd that much ✊✊💯

just checked out marooned and its incredible. thanks
Sure...enjoy
Nate Jones
Man, a man that don't cry is not a man
I'm sorry we all get old but you are still GREAT
& your music will live on forever... Thank you Sir...
From a guitarist perspective, this was also a great lesson to play "Shine on...". Most vids avoid showing the fretwork. This is perfect!
I believe David is one of the cleanest playing guitarists. Absolutely brilliant.
Every time I see David play I'm reminded that what is on my Floyd records isn't done with studio tricks, but with extreme talent. I am always pleased that he plays what I want to hear from the record, live.
Hahahaa i love how someone in the audience keeps shushing every time there are cheers and claps
As it should be - really annoying is when people use their cells now to tape & record. Really???? Ugh. Oh well - what ya gonna do.
So annoying! Was at a festival a week ago and the people there were more concerned with taking the perfect selfie next to the exhibits rather than actually being in the moment enjoying the event and allowing others to enjoy it as well.

what an ass
Nessuno al mondo può fare quello che fa lui con questa canzone. A volte sta in bilico su abissi ignoti, ma non cade mai... :-) Grandissimo
What a genius. Even now, in 2016 he sounds and plays like he always did. David Gilmour - a very nice person and one of the most talented musicians ever in popular music.
Agreed!!
One of the greatest guitar performances ever, and the sax was up there as well
There's a saxophone in my soul. I was forced to stop playing because it took up too much room on the crowded bus to school where I was far ahead of all the other students and the teacher told me I had a natural ability and should keep playing. It was as if they removed part of my body and silenced my voice. I repressed those memories for decades but I'm going to find a sax at a pawn shop or online somewhere and start over.

I played alto when I was 12 but I have a bass voice and a different sax fits me now.
I would love to sit and have a coffee with anyone from this band. Dave, Roger, Nick, Richard or Sid. Imagine the stories! Sadly only the 3 are left.
Man, please go live again. I swear i will be there, no matter where, no matter when, please go live, please!
A note to myself- David Gilmour isn’t a guitarist but a musician
Six strings, a voice and a message. All it takes.
One of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen, seriously ❤
Beautiful versione of this Song, thanks David Gilmour ❤
syd barrets face comes in my mind everytime i listen to this song
The repeating chord he starts playing at 9:30... magical. Haunting and beautiful at the same time. Amazing.
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on, you raver, you seer of visions
Come on, you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
respect from Kazakhstan! Гилмор, вы просто космос!
Азъ есмь.
A reação do público identificando a música não tem preço 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Great tribute to the late, original member, Syd Barrett
Love the pedal work. That in combo with his awesome guitar playing are a synergy of virtuosic excellence. there is no substitution for outstanding musicianship and he is the top of his craft.
КРАСАВЧИК КРАСАВЧИК, ТАКОГО БОЛЬШЕ НИКОГДА НЕ БУДЕТ.!!!!
Gilmour is a real proof that a good guitarist plays slow and with concentration
(S)hine on (y)ou crazy (d)iamond
Or 'soy cd'
HAH, how didn't I know that!?
Syd is the real genius behind the madness that is Pink Floyd
What an extraordinary virtuoso performance by a truly skilled musician!
THIS is exactly why I have always been a fan. Pure, clean, just great music and incredible talent.
Wow , la premiere fois que jentend le grand jouer , sur un belle guitard acoustique !! Le grand art !! Superbe prestation MERCI Bcp david and all !! Great part of this culture thx :D
Дэвид,это просто обалденно!Твоя гитара лучшая.From Russia with Love)))
So here I reposted it again. I can't get enough of this music legend, David Gilmour.
You know I love it Xuan.
Jesse H. Me too.
Live acoustic performances are sometimes so very magical...this is an excellent example :-)
Now kids this is what we call genius!
Double thumbs up sir👍👍
Let's the heroes be heroes as they was!
Un génie avec une guitare, un homme, un vrai, qui sais faire sentir à travers des sons, des émotions.....j'aime, et plus encore....
Respect! Pink Floyd and David Gilmour are just great. I'll keep listening to their music through thin and thick till I die.
Гилмор Отличнейший музыкант!
Здоровья и долголетия ему и всем!
Какой он КРАСАВЧИК!!!
Удивительно, как такая музыка может прийти человеку в голову. Это прекрасно .
One of God’s greatest gifts, as our lord Davis has been blessed with perfection.🙏🏻
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION & a heart wrenching tribute to Sid
When a God plays guitar....
pabloberry paolo spot on. Like when waters told his producers it’s missing the Gilmore effect
Love this song! wow too cool hearing this in it's acoustic form
Again and again....never get bored watching this.
I really wished I could of gone to one of their concerts. I was born in the 90s so im too young to ever see them play again.
о! бальзам на душу! )))
точно! )))
+Gene Baranoff kappammñk
Just Perfection in this video.
This brilliant man is the greatest musician who ever lived! Shine on Sir David Gilmour.
❤Rock on Dave❤ never get tired of listening to Pink Floyd tunes. 🎶🎶🎶🌈
I just can't believe how good the sax player is
It was a very long time ago, and I was very fucked up on drugs. My friend told me. " We ( my group of friends) don't need a Syd Barrett."
I got clean and my friend was killed in action. To Sargent Earl James of The United States Marine Corps. Shine on you Beautiful Diamond.
Oh.........more Gilmour.................can't get enough.......................................
I am agree..fantastic..
Thanks my dear Gianni !
La mejor versión acústica que le he escuchado al gran David!!!
David Gilmour is mesmerizing to watch.
Unbelievable sound on this video. You can hear the instrument being put through its paces. Beautiful.
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Apenas um homem e um instrumento, mesmo assim, repleto de uma riqueza de qualidade e individualismo através de dois corpos. Realmente, um músico é um ser bastante elevado
unbelievable performance, this man never stop amazing me .... :)
The fact he can do this on acoustic - my dad RIP defiantly was right about Dave Gilmore
Absolutely amazing …
So much feels.
QUE GRANDE ERESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
que bien ver a alguien por aqui que hable español!!!
un Grande ....
Efectivamente
Pink Floyd simplesmente fantástico !!
When david gilmour, turns down to see his guitar, he still has those youthful eyes of those who watch their strings with the pleasure of feeling the music that emerges from it ....
In my heart n mind....he's absolutely the greatest guitarist Ever...and that's been since1973
David Gilmour is insane on the guitar. It takes a lot of practice to play like that.
Greatest Guitar off all time. Jimi can make it squeal. But Dave makes it sing.
Viste como un mendigo...toca como un dios.
I remember seeing this and thinking I'd never see David Gilmour play life. He's a bit overweight here, not playing with any of the original members of PF, it's all acoustic (good nonetheless). I really thought this was the end of PF/David's career. Boy was I wrong. Just saw the Rattle the Lock tour. He looks better now, sounds better now, and still has it!
I saw him at the Hollywood Bowl. He hasn't lost his touch at all.
Wes Davis what does his weight have to do with anything?
apparently it is an issue for Wes, not sure why......
As National Institutes of Health explained "Overweight and obesity may increase the risk of many health problems" - www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/weight-management/health-risks-overweight
I suppose Wes was just concerned in that regards. we all want David to stay in good health.
alex woz z
E stasera avevo una voglia matta di ascoltarti, dopo un po' di tempo, ti adoro❤️
A fitting tribute to the he late great Syd Barrett ,,,,,,,,,,without his visions this song would never exist.....RIP Mr B x
Bless the Piper.
Esse homem é um gênio mesmo! Conseguiu resumir em dois instrumentos uma música que tem um monte de coisas juntas. Incrível! Gosto das duas versões.
stupenda,come una giornata di sole con appena un soffio di vento
Awesome, David Gilmour at his best.
One of the best artists this world has ever seen, period.
Absolutely amazing!! Laying in bed listening to this is so therapeutic.. Amazing song!!
2:11 that moment when everyone is saying "that's crazy diamond, isn't it?!"
1:45
So you see, that's where the trouble began
That smile, that damned smile
REAL MASTERPIECE !!!
Rarely do I find myself completely blown away ...
Just incredible.
definitivamente amo esta canción, cada nota me aprieta mi pecho, me hace viajar a lugares de calma, a lugares sin apuro, sin prisa...
Solo, pero único Genial.
Thx !!!
No auto tune No mixers just a true artist at his best
What an amazing raw version
The choice of chords is just a different level
