Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
THATS A RELIEF…. BRAVO 👏…. ALREADY WENT THROUGH TWO OF THOSE
Pink Floyd has sent more people to space than NASA.
This is a good comment hahaha
I wonder if Major Tom listened to Pink Floyd...
🤣😂😅🤘
You stuck to the golden rule.....Never interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo!!....An awesome reaction Bisscute!!
I couldn’t stop it my heart would have broke . Maybe if I would have I could kept it without the blur
@@BisscuteReacts Yeah, its real tough when listening to such beautiful music to stop it, to avoid the copyright stuff, your emotion is so refreshing, keep doing what your doing, your an amazing young lady x
Well said. Far too many reactors pause when the great one is in mid solo.
Biscuit done a great job here😎
@@Craigregister000 I think it may be against the law ;-)
@@BisscuteReacts Perhaps you should watch movie The Wall to better understand the nature of the song. The song is about the movie main character. But in fact, it is a direct allusion to the founding member of the band - Syd Barrett. About the showbiz world, it’s pressures and emotional and physical downfall.
These are artists. This is a landscape. It is painted, beautifully.
Second solo is commonly known as the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. The depth of emotion he wrings out of the strat is just from another world.
And the first solo is the second greatest guitar solo ever recorded.
To me, that is the most emotion I have ever heard inside of four minutes ...
The entire concert was absolute perfection...
This is art...
Who else remembers that blinking red light in your cd collection?
I even replaced that battery a couple times over the years... Lol
This is literally musical history. The greatest guitar solo, of all time
:Objection! Jimmy Page Stairway at the Garden ;)
:Noted. Jury will deliberate and reconvene. 🤘
This is my opinion too.
@@chriswade1139 love them both but I have to give it to pink floyd just because I love this song so frickin much
Sorry but I play a pretty mean guitar in the shower.
And then David Gilmour walked into the studio again just to play "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and destroy the rest of guitar solos forever.
I did have a little smile when you said you had been told you would love the guitar solo, and said how much you liked the first solo at the end of the first chorus, and i was thinking "wait til you get to the real solo" 🙂
I think my face said it all ❤️🔥
@@BisscuteReacts It did, and I was expecting that type of reaction - I wasn't dissapointed! All the best. Rab
always a rookie mistake get caught up with the 1st solo then the 2nd hits
*lol* I felt the same way when she said after the short solo that she liked it, I thought to myself, just wait and see what's to come...
@Bisscute Great reaction, thx
I actually like the first solo better. It sounds like his guitar is singing. The second solo is, of course, the more spectacular. They're both top-rate.
The emotion that Dave Gilmour can put into his guitar solos can bring a grown man to tears 😢
If this was the last piece of music I ever heard I would die a happy man
I can’t wait to explore more 💕
Best guitar player...EVER!!!!!!👍🏾
@@BisscuteReacts enjoy "time", a masterpiece with another David Gilmour moving guitar solo!
Very true.
There are notes and combinations of them that speak more than words. Why? I don't know. It's a universal language.
Bisscute : guitar solo its not super long but is impactful!
David Gilmour : Hold my Beer Bisscute!
I wish everyone could have attended a Pink Floyd concert, at least once.
I listening to this band since 1973 , this isn't music , this is ART .
Agreed
Same
Some have said that Dave Gilmore's guitar is plugged into his very soul. This is by far one of the best guitar solos ever performed. I have been listening to Floyd since 1969. I am 68 years old.
DIDO ON THE 69/68… HAVE SEEN THEM 3 TIMES, HOW BOUT URSELF..? 👊🖖
This song saved my life, quite literally! I'm bipolar, and in the moment of crisis, VERY dark thoughts overtook me, but luckily, this song started playing on the car radio, and it captured my very soul, specially that second guitar solo by David Gilmour!
i feel for you man .. I have been down the depression hole my whole adult life music being my saviour this song is paramount to me
@@davidens8204 The best recipe for me, is listening to David Gilmour for hours, so I make a playlist, usually starting with this concert in Gdansk ua-cam.com/video/XkQp5L4h1Vg/v-deo.html
and then more recent one from Pompeii, this is the playlist, and the first one is in single file video- ua-cam.com/play/PLdsL-F3QQHQ-e122YKzVyTKRz5UcRxEto.html
And to note that Comfortably numb state is actually more desired one, cause I'm experiencing severe high and low's - the middle would be a welcomed change, numb to all that
Stay strong there are beautiful things to fight for❤️
I totally understand where you’re coming from Zoran. I have depression and anxiety and the life saving song for me was “The Show Must Go On” by Queen.
👍✌🙏
Thank you for not interrupting the most EPIC solo in history!
There are guitar solos and there are epic guitar solos and then there is David Gilmour and this guitar solo. One of the best ever put on record or ever played live.
Have to absolutely agree with that.
Four minutes of guitar heaven, a perfect example of The Gilmour Effect!
The best guitar solo (in this version) of all time!!!
Send her 20 bucks to react to Dolly Parton
To misappropriate a quote. That guitar dos'nt just speak to him, it swears at him !
David Gilmour is a tender-voiced guitar god. And makes his guitar sing like no one else 🎸❤
Lindsey burkingham
👍
His guitar playing puts extra soul into your soul!
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
Even if it had made a loss it would have still been worth it !!! I really regret not getting into Floyd at an earlier stage in my life, I would have defiantly gone to that concert. I went to the same venue in 1983 to see Supertramp who were very impressive live although they only had a crew of 155 lol( Gilmour played guitars on their next album when Roger Hodson left) it was as packed and they had to put on an extra night .
I was born in 1996 and when I first watch this video, I wept out of joy, regret, jealousy and acceptance. As much as I love it, watching people cry to this gave me joy. A little guilty pleasure 😅
When you went back to rewatch the first little solo I was just sitting here thinking to myself "Oh just you wait, that's nothing compared to the actual solo".
the look on your face is priceless!!..old man here....i get the pleasure of watching younger generations hear and listen to pink floyd.....just wonderful!!
there´s a finest visuals restored version of this
I was fortunate enough to be there to witness this performance. It has a hugely deep meaning for me for many reasons.
My step Father was in the last days of his life and we managed to get him there together with back stage passes. I got to give my best friend a memorable last moment and met my all time guitar hero.
absolutely mind blowing!!!
I was there too,Earls Court,the night after the upstairs seating collapsed.
Been to well over a thousand gigs,but THAT one is by far the best I’ve ever witnessed,and I saw Jimi Hendrix at the IOW 70.
Nobody gets the emotion from a guitar like Sir David Gilmour.
I was also there the night after the seating collapsed and turned up not realising our seats didn't exist. No mobile phones or texts. They gave us our money back and seats at the side. They put on on extra show and even offered us tickets for that.
Excellent move blurring after instead of pausing the guitar solo, that was definitely the right choice. It's so important to let that emotion build and not break your immersion. That moment you went back to at the end of the dark solo is my favorite as well. If that doesn't give you chills, nothing will.
Others will make plenty of Pink Floyd suggestions, but it's critically important to listen to the entire album on one go for Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. The songs flow right from one to another and they are meant for you to let yourself get carried away.
One last recommendation, if the mood hits you, please don't fight back tears, just let it wash over you and pause to clean up later if needed. Too many reactors pull themselves out of the moment trying to not get too emotional and miss out on a truly epic experience.
David Gilmour plugs his guitar right into your soul, so let him do his thing and just bask in the glory that human beings are capable of making beauty like this.
I love this comment, thank you for understanding how pause and copyright works . I was getting anxious because people won’t understand the blur but your comment made me very happy , it gets pinned . Thank you again ❤️
@@BisscuteReacts The moment the video blurred, I had a huge smile on my face because I knew that meant you didn't pause. Never been so excited by a blurred video, lol!
Seriously though, we folks watching know the video, we're here to see you. :-)
I just opened this video on my second screen, just in case she made any comments regarding the visuals. I hope she does Hight Hopes from this same show.
@@BisscuteReacts You can react to Pink Floyd without fear of being "copyrighted". They seam to be happy with the money they've earned and are not greedy. They are true artists that feel as though it is more important to teach and give than take. They truly practice what they preach. Enjoy this journey. Peace/JT
@@johnthompson6374
I just got a new respect for Pink Floyd ; not greedy, it's all about the exposure and the sharing.
Bear in mind though, it's rarely the artists imposing these Nazi-esque "copyreich" strikes, crying over losing another 3¢ in profits, it's the RECORD LABELS and the executives who are the greedy money grabbers. Most artists don't even own their work anymore ; the publishers and labels all do, and they're the ones who get the lion's share of revenue and artists are lucky if they see any royalties. Artists make their money through live show ticket sales and maybe some merchandising, but even then I'm sure there's an army of middleman and corporate greedmeisters getting their slice of the pie there as well.
I often think I'd like to see artists become self-supporting, releasing their albums from their own websites, either through digital download or hard-copy mail-order CDs (fan's choice) so they could keep costs low and make their earned revenue higher - no more major labels, no more scumbag suits & executives bilking the profits of someone else's creative works to line their own pockets. Just direct artist-to-fan-to-artist commerce. If that makes sense?
I cannot tell you the joy it brings me to see today's youth discover the musical genius of bands like Pink Floyd. You are about my daughter's age, and I raised her by taking her to many, many concerts lol. Your musical journey gives me hope and I wish you luck in your quest!
One of the best songs ever
Pink Floyd is a state of mind. Another level in music.
David Gilmour doesn’t just coax your emotions out with his solos, he pulls your soul out.
I've been a fan of Pink Floyd since I bought my first Floyd album back in high school, Dark Side of the Moon in 1973.
Your face lit up when David Gilmour started singing, and again when he started his guitar solo. Loved your reaction, have subbed now, please do more PF!
For sure !!! What will you suggest ? 💜
@@BisscuteReacts so many to choose from but my personal favourites (after Comfortably Numb) are On the Turning Away, Wish you Were Here and Mother.
@@BisscuteReacts
High Hopes, Sorrow, Marooned & One of these days...
All are great 😉
I went to this concert , sat right next to sound desk in centre, sound and lighting effects were mindblowing - easily the best rock guitar solo played live ever. Played whole of Dark Side of the Moon
Agree. I was at the Dark side of the moon concert in Vienna. I remember it still today.
Go ahead, rub it in our faces. 🙃
This is the Chicago "Pulse" show in 94, right? Is that the right city?
I really enjoy watching members of this generation being introduced to my generations music...and liking it🤘👍
Agree 1000%
Send her 20 bucks and she’ll pretend to like Dolly Parton too!
@@richardlacey4923 I kind of got that feeling myself. There are some reactions I think to myself. They are really trying hard to come across liking what they are watching! One person came out and told us that She really didn't care for the song. I think it was Pink Floyd of all groups!!!! But I let her know that I appreciated her honesty! It is what it is!
its regarded, rightly, as maybe the best guitar solo, of all time, for pure emotion. no tricks, just david gilmour playing with pure emotion. so so good. try any song from this pulse concert. sorrow, is also amazing.
I saw this show live in 94 and it was totally out of this world. The whole concert was unbelievable! Great reaction! keep them coming!
On the turning away (2019 remastered) live! There´s another great guitarrsolo from David.
What a adorable smile when DG started singing. So sweet.
When David plays you don’t ever want his Solos to end. Played with such soul, emotion, love and precision. He’s inspired so many guitarists over the years. I was fortunate enough to get to see them when I was in high school. Their light shows are as amazing as you always hear.
I have watched this concert loads of times and it still blows me away every time,the best live concert by a mile.✌️
This amazing song is one of 3 encores from the entire concert, you should take the time to watch & listen to the entire show, incredibly good from start to finish! Possibly the best concert of all time!!
I seen that Concert in Ohio State Stadium with over 150 Thousand People Easy Probably closer to 200 Thousand People. Watching Pink Floyd Live was a Religious Experience. And was by far the Best Concert of my Life!!!!! Great Reaction I could see as soon as David Gilmore started to sing you were Captured by his voice 💘.
The verses are a doctor talking to the main character in the Album, Pink, before medicating him so he can perform the show. The choruses are what Pink is thinking as he's unable to talk to the doctor. This song was based on a real life situation that Roger Waters experienced when he had severe stomach cramps just before a show and a doctor medicated him so he'd be able to perform. The choruses are thoughts that Roger had while drugged by the medication and he incorporated them into the song when they were creating it for the album, "The Wall". The album is a complete story with each song being a chapter about Pink's descent into mental-illness in the story.
I have the chance of see them in concert,and it was one of the best moments in my life
I believe it was . I am sure is a core memory for you ❤️
Kudos to Guy Pratt for his bass and vocal support in the song. There’s nothing left to say about David Gilmour’s solo. He just puts on a clinic demonstrating how to become one with your instrument before an adoring audience.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best guitar solo of and for all time.
Just came here to listen to the best solo.......EVER!!!!
What I love about your reaction to this song is how it shows the timelessness of some music and performances. You're reacting this way to a nearly 30 year-old performance of a song that was already 15 years old when it was performed. This shows they created something that truly endures across generations. Amazing.
PINK FLOYD FOREVER IN MY ♥️🎸
I was there at Earls Court when this was filmed. It was awesome, & Comfortably Numb was out of this world.
They capture you with Their music , and allow YOU to go on your own Journey.
This song live (and the song in general) is not only good, it's a spiritual experience and a journey.
I was there for this tour...Floyd is a spiritual journey...especially live.
Pink Floyd is one of the all time greats.
Thank you for your reactions. Note it was no smartphones at that time everyone was just standing watching. Take care 💜
This song in any performance brings me to tears. Pink Floyd helped me through my teens. Thank you for this ☀️
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed this❤️
Great reaction! I have probably listened to this song hundreds of time in my 75 years, and I still get an incredible emotional reaction everytime. It is great to see that you also feel this music. Thank you!
I was at a show of David Gilmour, after Pink Floyd, when he was doing a tour with Eric Clapton, and that was one of the best I have seen.
There are epic solos and there are epic solos and there's this one it's on a completely different level!!
Whenever you get to their song "Time" do not read the lyrics prior to listening. It was one of the most beautiful ever and everyone of us deserves the right to experience those words first time with the music it was written for.
Actually, it doesn't matter which song you choose from Pink Floyd or Nightwish, you will never be disappointed.
Beside this one, i think however "Time" and "Dogs" are by far my favorites.
@@beldin2987 everyone has their favorites, but you won't find bad songs in either band.
what kinda music Nightwish does ?
Or, you could watch a combination of the two bands by watching Nightwish's cover of the Pink Floyd song "High Hopes" (Especially if you are a Marco fan)
@@stevebradley6275 Thx for the effort to answer me. Well, Marko... unfortunately he retired from the band. He is just as unique as Tuomas and Floor.This 3 in combination was one of the highlights in the world of music.Thank God I was allowed to see some concerts of the 3 live. Of course, I also know High Hopes and you are absolutely right with your recommendation; it has been one of Marko's masterpieces.
Well David indeed of all the members was the best voice l, there thos guy's are legends
Moody Blues Night in White Satin Live, What a Song, what an Orchestra and what a play with Colors. Absolutely a must
When I saw them on the Division Bell Tour. This song was perfection. I cried tears of joy at the guitar solo.
If that isn't the finest exhibition of lead guitar playing ever to have happened at a live performance I'd sure like to see what's better. David Gilmour is just incomprehensibly and inexplicably special. Those very fortunate few that got to see this live cannot possibly ever forget it. Gotta be on their lists of "best days ever" at the end of their lives.
"David Gilmour is just incomprehensibly and inexplicably special." I just thought I'd repeat that sentence.
Steve Lukather - Toto- I ll be over you 1990
In the 70s my buddies I would drive around the streets in my home town listening to pink Floyd. Great memories. Their still great. Thank you for your reaction.
I spent many nights in the 1980s when I was a teenager, listening to Pink Floyd all night. This is why.
In order to understand the lyrics and understand what the song is really about you have to listen to the entire album. Pink Floyd, the wall tells a story and each song is another chapter.
From the same Pulse Concert in London, check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL. Both are incredible performances. (Actually, EVERYTHING from the Pulse is incredible.)
The first time I saw these performed live was MTVs broadcast of Knebworth '90. An absolutely incredible performance that stuck with me.
@@dmadcat73 Knebworth was a legendary stop along Pink Floyd’s long list of venues and performances.
The song Keep Talking from the same concert is another great one
Gosh, I just melt below the waves of David Gilmour's voice, and then his guitar begins to sing... Legend.
the ending solo and the voice of Gilmour are soooo great!
Was lucky enough to see David play this solo up on top of the wall on the Wall tour in the same venue in August 1980. One of the most memorable concert moments of my life. I also got to see this tour and would recommend ‘Sorrow’ where in the arena the guitar sound at the beginning made every atom in your body vibrate and ‘Run Like Hell’ which just sent us all into sensory overload.
I'm 68. Began listening to Pink Floyd as a teenager in Delaware. I listen to all genres of music, with a thing for shoegaze, punk, psychedelic, and a ton more. "Comfortably Numb" is the greatest rock song ever written. Period. I had the privilege of interviewing Gilmour when he solo toured in '84. He was a delightful person. Genuine. Humble. Old Soul. For decades I walked around with this song in my heart above all others, alone in a world of pop and EDM and jazz and whatnot. Your reaction did my heart so much good, to see another living person experience what I did when The Wall first came out way back when. Absolutely priceless. Tears are totally appropriate. It's just that beautiful. Funny thing, too. As many times as I've heard it, it never gets old. The world will never hear anything so perfect ever again. It was a one-time gift.
And DSOTM was the perfect album.
That is why this is considered the greatest solo of all time.
I was waiting all the time for you to react Pink Floyd Songs. Lots of love beautiful.❤️
It happens ❤️
Pink Floyd are an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows
They were also thought of ( at the time) as being a middle class pretentious Oxbridge elitist band, that were "spoon fed" in to existence. Make of that what you will.
This woman’s smile takes my breath away.
Most fans won't mind. We already have our heads tilted back and our eyes closed. This is where Floyd takes us. If I were given a choice of only three artists/bands to listen to for the rest of my life Pink Floyd is my number one pick. Love your reaction and please keep listening and sharing.
this epic song has the 1st and 2nd most beautiful guitar solos ever
nah first solo is not that good
Dave Gilmore Vocals & lead guitar. Richard Wright, keyboards,vocals, Nick Mason..drums,vocals. They're the 3 original Floyd members. Guy Pratt on base, John Carin = keyboards & backing vocals, Gary Wallace - percussion, Dick Parry - saxophones. Female back-up singers - Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, C;audia Fontaine.
And Tim Renwick additional guitar (...Gary Wallis)
You felt that one girl, your smile was magic - thanks...........
I find it the position I would love to be in for eternity. Comfortably Numb. Great reaction 🙂
Well I know this song since '79 - I was 20 at this time - I always feel the same emotion when listening to it ! Tears are never far, I am so much touched by this guitar solo...
That PULSE live version is even better with a very long 2nd solo, David Gilmour took the time to buid it, and your emotion goes higher and higher... as he plugs his guitar directly to your soul....
And i always loved David's warm voice !
The 1st song I listened in 1972 from PF was "echoes" from Meddle album, I was 13.... and I was starting the Pink Floyd journey !
Many thanks to you - a (very) young girl (vs me !!) for reacting to Pink Floyd songs, you made me happy while i was looking at you smiling to David's voice and solos ;c)
So cute !
Dom, a 63 years old Pink floyd fan from France
watching on UA-cam at KIDS REACTING AT PINK FLOYD
I was 15 :-)
J’ai 18 ans et j’adore cette musique !!
@@soldat_picards1048 tu sais quoi ? Moi aussi et j'en ai bientôt 64...... et ça me fait tellement plaisir que des jeunes apprécient cette "musique de vieux" !! Enjoy man
This concert was filmed at the tail-end of Pink Floyd's career in 1994 (Their final tour)... By this point, Roger Waters (bass & vocals), who wrote the lyrics for 'Comfortably numb', was out of the band... David Gilmour (guitar & vocals) brought Pink Floyd back together in 1987, but used various studio musicians that u see on stage, along w/ (the late) Richard Wright (keyboards & vocals) & Nick Mason (drums).
In the studio version, Roger Waters sang the verses (he was substituted in this live version) and David Gilmour sang the chorus. Waters said he wrote the lyrics about a doctor medicating him before a Pink Floyd concert backstage, just so he could play (he was sick)... he said the medication left him in a haze and it was the longest show he had ever played because he was so tripped out... There are clips of Roger Waters playing 'Comfortably numb' w/ his solo band...
Roger puts on wonderful shows in which he does remarkably little live singing or bass playing for that matter.
It was so much fun to see you become a Pink Floyd Floater.....simply drifting away
Love that smile when David starts singing, being a guitar legend we can overlook what a wonderful voice he has 😅
Totally agree!!
This is possibly one of the greatest live performances of all time. Queen, Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden are the best live bands IMO.
Agreed
We are all blessed, each and every time we check into what I call, "Ear Heaven" - This is *The Song* that my heart surgeons and I decided would serve us all best during my procedure. I believe that it worked. Love!!!! *Comfortably Numb* is not only a history, but a requiem of all that is before. . . . *there is no pain, you are receding.* Yes, it makes a difference.
Oh my god! This is an absolutly masterpeace.
The joy in your face is priceless .
I recommend Run like hell and the great gig in the sky from the same concert
I loved this reaction, especially how you were looking forward to the “guitar solo”. Your slight “disappointment” at the first solo was only so slight, barely perceptible. Little did you know the mother of all guitar solos was coming soon to blow you away and come close to bringing tears to your eyes
As far as I'm concerned, David Gilmour is the greatest guitarist of ALL TIME. The man is a master and a genius and an incredible musician, singer, showman and songwriter, his work with Floyd was ASTOUNDING and his solo stuff is JUST as good. The crowd here is somewhere in the region of 274,000 people, at the final concert in their Division Bell tour in '94, at Earl's Court, and it was a truly MASSIVE event. Comfortably Numb is one of their absolute masterpieces, but Pink Floyd had several other incredible hits over the years. If you want to experience the sheer raw power of Gilmour's guitarwork, there's nothing better than my very favourite Floyd track, Sorrow, But I would also highly recommend Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part 1), Coming Back To Life, Run Like Hell, Time/Breathe (Reprise), High Hopes, Fat Old Sun, Another Brick In the Wall, The Great Gig In the Sky, Money, Keep Talking, Us and Them, A Great Fay For Freedom, What Do You Want From Me and Eclipse.
Sorry but Earls Court would never hold 274k people, more like about 20k. But they did do about two weeks of concerts there so the 274k was probably the figure for all the nights combined.
But the show was just out of this world, I was near the back in the centre.
You have a naturally peaceful smile…so pleasant and genuine. Love your reactions. Thank you.
Music is a universal language I saw you felt it I'm 58 been listening to it for years so glad that I have Pink Floyd in my life cuz I was growing up Universal enjoy it
The song was about how the bassist player Waters had to get a muscle relaxant injected so he could perform and said it was the longest concert of his life. Crazy how it means so much to others.
By putting it on the album "The wall", Pink Floyd turned this "little incident" into a great metaphore with a large scale of interpretations. To me it allways ment that some people do not care about anything, especially other people cause they are numb insinde but seem to feel OK with that.
if you´re interested in the content of the lyrics: go to wikipedia and read about pink floyd´s THE WALL THE ALBUM and THE WALL THE MOVIE.
First saw them in the 80s and also this tour. Their shows were amazing. Otherworldly
outrageous band, all together and one by one. lead singer and lead guitar david gilmore is one of the finest evokers of emotion
I've read several interpretations of this song but according to Roger Waters "I was getting ready to do a gig there, (Spectrum) and I had some stomach bug. Terrible, terrible stomach cramps. We had a doctor come into the hotel and say, 'Well, we can take care of that.' - "And he gave me a shot, and to this day I don't know what it was. But it's not something I would ever recommend giving to a human being. It came out of a dart that felt like it was used to tranquilize an elephant. And we did the whole show, and I was barely able to stand. And that's where the term 'comfortably numb' came out of." Waters used the memory of his hands' looking "way too big, frightening" during the Spectrum performance to point him toward a memory of being frightened and delirious as a boy: "When I was a child I had a fever / My hands felt just like two balloons."- “That was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.” So basically dude was high during a performance and had a flashback to an early childhood memory. ta-daaaah! . 😁
These quotes can be found in The Philadelphia Inquirer. UA-cam will erase my comment if I link it for some dumb reason.
Thank you for this ❤️🔥
Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. While many people thought the song was about drugs, Waters claims it is not. The lyrics are about what he felt like as a child when he was sick with a fever. As an adult, he got that feeling again sometimes, entering a state of delirium, where he felt detached from reality. He told Mojo magazine (December 2009) that the lines, "When I was a child I had a fever/My hands felt just like two balloons" were autobiographical. He explained: "I remember having the flu or something, an infection with a temperature of 105 and being delirious. It wasn't like the hands looked like balloons, but they looked way too big, frightening. A lot of people think those lines are about masturbation. God knows why."
In a radio interview around 1980 with Jim Ladd from KLOS in Los Angeles, Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band.
Exploring further, Mojo asked Waters about the line, "That'll keep you going through the show," referring to getting medicated before going on-stage. He explained: "That comes from a specific show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia (June 29, 1977). I had stomach cramps so bad that I thought I wasn't able to go on. A doctor backstage gave me a shot of something that I swear to God would have killed a f---ing elephant. I did the whole show hardly able to raise my hand above my knee.

Your hands swell up from where you've missed a shot. You missed the vein. Watch the Movie The Wall. He's Dope Sick. That means you're going into withdrawal.
