I was lucky enough to be in the crowd for this performance. I was surrounded by strangers who were crying to this. It tipped me over the edge. It was beautiful
My wonderful late father went to this concert back in 1994, he always told me that it was one of the most mesmerizing experiences of his life truly in the top ten moments of his life.
The astronaut depicted is floating through space, but he's flailing his arms about and thrashing into the vacuum as he tumbles about, almost like his tether to the spacecraft has broken, and he's trying to "swim" through a vacuum to get back to safety. The floating through space that Pink Floyd evokes is more like "yeah, my tether's broken, but this is just AWESOME! I'm floating through space!". No fear, no thrashing about, just AWESOMENESS.
David Gilmour is a great vocalist but his guitar playing is just something else. There is nobody else that can touch him when it comes to this performance. Its a masterclass in guitar.
I saw them on the Division Bell Tour (July 10, 1994)… I was 17 years old and my three closest HS friends bought my ticket to go see the show with them as my graduation present (I had graduated the previous month)… I consider it one of the greatest musical moments that I have ever witnessed to see David Gilmour play that second solo live… to this day it is the greatest concert I’ve ever attended.
Once I fell into unconciousness after being injured. There is no way to describe the feeling with words: a kind of warm and soothing, pulsating cocoon that covered and dampened an underlying feeling of terror and urgentness. "Comfortably Numb" nails it with music. Thank you for sharing, Maggie!
I loved your analogy of how this song made you feel. You have a great sense of music. I was actually at this concert in May of 1994 at Gillette stadium in Mass. As a musician, I was expecting a good performance. What I got was an experience, not a show. All of my senses were heightened with the lasers, quadrophonic sound system and the most mind blowing beautiful and ethereal music you’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing Maggie.
The entire Pulse concert is a work of art. Every song is worth checking out, but two highlights are High Hopes and Sorrow. I do recommend the new 'Restored & Re-edited' version from the official channel, it has much better quality than older uploads. Funny you mention Purple Rain; Gilmour was on tour when Prince died, and during Comfortably Numb he started playing the Purple Rain solo as a tribute. P.S. That disco ball was the largest in the world at that time, don't know if that record still holds 🙂
I first heard Pink Floyd when i was 12 years old & have followed them since. I'm 57 now & they're still my no1. I was very lucky to have been at this concert at Earls Court London, it meant the world for me to be there. I will never forget that night & it certainly was the greatest concert of all time in my opinion. 🏴🇬🇧
Yeah 87, 89 I want to say that's when they were on tour I believe three times in Ohio and man was at the best concert ever ever we took some (LSD -shhh..) on the way down to Columbus a little bit too early but you can be totally straight and this is one of the all-time greatest songs ever, not just guitar solo, I have yet to experience, a song that puts me in a place that only David gilmour and Pink Floyd do, I actually do become comfortably numb! I heard they are going to be touring in Europe I've been trying to find exactly when I got to go one more time before they go if anybody knows please let me know I've been to Europe many times but never to a concert and it would be worse every dollar.
It's important to not only understand the lyrics but that it's a conversation between a doctor and a patient. That is why there is the contrast in style and voice. The patient is the main character. And then we get to hear and feel the emotions of the patient via the guitar solos which are the heart of the song that the lyrics help set up. A masterclass in song writing, composition, and performance.
Yes, she totally missed the back-and-forth dialog aspect... we're brought into the world of the patient and privy to their point of view, which is why Gilmour's voice is so strong and clear and the "doctor's" voice is more muffled and subdued like trying to break through a foggy mist.
@@AB-ku4my _"and it's eventual demolition"_ FWIW, you do understand that the entire album _is a _*_loop_* right? The very end of the last song, on the last album/cd ( _"Outside the Wall";_ Disc 2/Album Side 4 ), bleeds directly into the musical snippet on the opening of the first song of the first album/CD ( _"In the Flesh?";_ Disc 1/Album Side 1 ). If you play it in its entirety, in order, on repeat, it will blend seemlessly, from the very end, back to the beginning. This was done intentionally, by the band, to represent that, like the experiences of many addicts, Pink's journey is an unending cycle of desperately trying to cope with and ultimately surmount the Wall, then falling back and succumbing to it's pernicious influences again and again...
Aargh! this is the only reaction to Comfortably Numb that I have seen have to blank the video, and you are raving about the visuals! nice pup though! The track is truly epic and sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it! Yes, I was there, yes I get emotional when I hear it because I will never see anything that epic again!
As someone with chronic neuromuscular pain, this song hits me the hardest in heart and soul. In a way just listening to them can be a form of pain relief. Just this morning I had carpel tunnel surgery and trying to lay back and take it all in. I've always loved PF and the first time I saw this concert on TV I actually got weak in my knees and tried to imagine being there.
Yes, I don't quite find this song chill like so many of the reactors do. It's a journey from pain to numbness, a place to survive pain but it's not healing. There is a sadness to it. It's not a life of thriving, but just surviving. The fleeting glimpse is lost and the dream is gone, but so is the pain and at least he's on his feet and functional. I'm either on the verge of or tearing up every time I hear this performance. It's beautiful but in a haunting sort of way. I saw them a few years before this. Epic. I hope you get some real relief and glad you have found some things that help.
Excellent reaction, thank you. I was at this 1994 concert back in Michigan at the Pontiac Silverdome....by far the best concert I've ever attended for the atmosphere. DSOTM was also played in its entirety. Please continue the Pink Floyd journey, so many great songs to choose from.
You can just watch the whole Pulse '94 vid and pick any single song of it and you can't go wrong! Seen them four times '87-'94 and it's still the most amazing concert experience to date! Unless you've actually seen 10's of thousands of the most diverse people in a single setting standing in total rapt amazement with mouths agape and tears flowing freely....I'm not sure someone can fully understand.
Me and a friend drove from Charlotte, NC to the Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC back 1994 when I was 20 to see the Division Bell concert. IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.
I've never really felt 'chill' listening to this extraordinary song ..... more emotional/tearful I would say and it's like that for me every time I listen to it and it has been ever since I first heard it way back in the 1970's!
Yes that is the greatest solo of all time. David doesn't plug his guitar into an Amp, he plugs it into his soul. And lastly, the number one rule when reacting to pink Floyd is you never pause during the solos.
I've seen them live twice. Besides the visuals being intense in person they are the only band I've seem that uses quadraphonic surround sound live. It's amazing
This style of music defined the creativity of the 70's. There had been nothing like it before and has been nothing like it since. A golden age of freedom of expression.
While songs from that Pink Foyd era are just amazing beyond words, it's a pity that so few reactors react either to the first two-three albums, or to The Final Cut. These albums deserve that.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written especially the musical arrangement and is not made to see live made to listen to on a stereo with headphones. The key to this song are the French horns and the strings, that's what draws you in and you cannot witness that on a live version
A personal favourite of mine, if you can ever get round to it - doesn't even necessarily have to be a reaction, just check it out in your own time if you'd like - is High Hopes by Pink Floyd, either the studio version of from the same Pulse concert this is taken from. It's heartwrenchily beautiful and it always makes me think of my dad
Pink Floyd does not simply play music, they plug in to your freeking soul ! This one makes me cry (dont judge me) . That solo touching me in a way i cant explain. The lyrics alone are so awesome , deep meaning for some of us . love the channel keep rocking girl !
Comfortably Numb is one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever composed. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. This never gets old. Ever. It speaks to something that we all know and cannot be expressed in any other way. Music - real music is a language all its own. Extraordinary musicians like David Gilmour can communicate their inner experiences as few can today. Gilmour’s guitar appears to be connected directly to his soul. Some musicians can manage that for a few moments. For Gilmour, it’s his natural state of being. It is unmistakable and cannot be faked.
I saw them live on this Pulse tour in 1994 at Soldier Field in Chicago and that disco ball was, I swear, the size of a garage. It was huge, but just covered the entire stadium in light. As you may have guessed, Floyd has always been famous for its light show. During this show, it was notable that they used gold lasers, which supposedly had never been used before (I can no longer remember why).
Genius level stuff. The arrangement is outstanding, vocals are mmmmmm good.😊B minor Roger sounds like the devil- G major- David Gilmore sounds like an angel. ❤️🎶❤️👏✅😎
The production behind this concert was one of a kind and was part of the concept of their album, they want to submerge you into a deep trance between the amazing solo the flashes and the disco ball turning into a lotto flower, this let refract the white light into colors like a prism over all the stadium, giving you a depth lawyer of trance... This was the intention all the time and they made it like any other can't do it.
Great Gig in the Sky! You have to see their Pulse concert (1994) on that song. Pink Floyd will never be contained in a bottle, they will always break free of any mold. I remember going to the Seattle Science Center in the early 90's to watch laser shows in the planetarium set to their music. It was titled 'Laser Floyd'. That was a real experience for those who couldn't go to a live performance. However, when they did show up to town, the concert sold out in minutes. Thanks Maggie for that wonderful reaction. It's always great to see someone experience Pink Floyd for the first time.
The best thing about Pink Floyd is that they deliver such unique sounds capes with their every song which are also different from one another. While there is a distinct "pink floyd sound" that let's you know that it's them, their talent allows them to be individual masterpieces. David Gilmour's unique guitar style bind them all together as well.
🇨🇦 Those of us that got to experience the 70's live are still the most chill you will ever meet ! There are very few artists today that can match this level of innovation !
Saw this concert from the 11th row center (floor) at a sold out NFL stadium. The lasers seemed so close you felt you could touch them. Many then and now saw the open disco ball as a mushroom cloud from a nuclear blast. Added to David's shredding guitar, it felt like the world was ending.
I grew up with Pink Floyd. The ride you experience listening to their music is beyond compare. Sure there are other bands that can take you there, but there's only one Pink Floyd and they always take you there. Chill indeed!
I've been a fan of this awesome group since the late 60`s...For me they can do no wrong...In my opinion Pink Floyd is the greatest Band in music history..Thanks for reacting to them...Back in the 70`s and 80`s they were considered way ahead of their time.
I really appreciate that you took the time to read the lyrics before you heard the song. It gives you better insight into the meaning, especially when combined with the alternating dark and light music.
you can't see pink floyd live anymore but you can go see Brit Floyd the worlds best pink floyd tribute band . I will be seeing them this weekend .. I did see pink floyd live on this tour back in the 90's
I agree - 'Brit Floyd' are the best at reproducing the original Floyd music. Whereabouts is the concert that you are going to see? In the UK? I assume that you've seen 'Brit Floyd's incredible concert at Red Rocks near Denver, Colorado about 15 years ago now? They were incredible on that. I have the DVD of that concert.
I saw this concert three nights in a row in Philadelphia and one night up in New York. No one puts on a show like Pink Floyd. Greatest concert I've ever seen and only costs me $33 a night good luck doing that anymore
This band has always been a favorite of mine. Top notch music. They have always had the greatest light show. I believe when this was recorded they had about 3 million wrapped up in the lights. Today it would be about 10 million. Great music to smoke a little and sit back and get lost 😅.
The venue is Earl's Court (now demolished) in London. Its capacity is 20,000 people. Pink Floyd filled that 20,000 seats for FOURTEEN NIGHTS IN A ROW! That's 280,000 people! This concert was in 1994. I saw them twenty years earlier, in 1974, for their release of 'Dark Side of the Moon', and in a small club in around 1967 ... but I was only fourteen years old for that one .. on that occasion, my main memory is of them taking forever to start, walking back and forwards across the stage holding bits of equipment and looking ... distracted. But, turns out they're the greatest band ever to exist on our Earth.
Pink Floyd is such an epic group and this song is one of their most epic. Perhaps one of the greatest songs of the prog rock era. Certainly in the top 10. As others have said, it has TWO of the greatest guitar solos of all time - in the same song. The particular concert video is astounding. But then again, that is the thing. I saw Pink Floyd live in the 80's. Such an amazing concert. Flying pigs, crashing airplanes, massive laser show, huge screen (when that was not done). STILL perhaps the best show I ever saw.
This concert overall is amazing. My parents were lucky enough to go see this on of the shows for this tour. Run like hell is of the same concert is also a close 2nd!
As a non-musician, but music lover, I may not be explaining this right. But the music sounds so basic, so simple, but perfect! Every note can be heard and it's amazing. Don't know if that makes sense. Love it.
If you truly want to know more about the song, listen to the studio version, then the version from the film The Wall (for context), then this version last. All are available on UA-cam. Please, no talking over the guitar solos.
For me there are two bands that absolutely always take you on a journey: Pink Floyd and Tool. And nobody else can touch your soul with a guitar like this man!
Maggie, when this concert was released on DVD,it was on two discs and the sleeve had a small flashing red light that kept going for up to five years !!

The greatest, in my book.

Pink Floyd: Expanding human consciousness for over 50 years!!!
My wonderful late father went to this concert back in 1994, he always told me that it was one of the most mesmerizing experiences of his life truly in the top ten moments of his life.
Feeling like floating through space is a prefect description of Pink Floyd's music. Just close your eyes and let it take you on a journey.
She was too worried about the Flashing lights and shiny ball
The astronaut depicted is floating through space, but he's flailing his arms about and thrashing into the vacuum as he tumbles about, almost like his tether to the spacecraft has broken, and he's trying to "swim" through a vacuum to get back to safety. The floating through space that Pink Floyd evokes is more like "yeah, my tether's broken, but this is just AWESOME! I'm floating through space!". No fear, no thrashing about, just AWESOMENESS.
David Gilmour is a great vocalist but his guitar playing is just something else. There is nobody else that can touch him when it comes to this performance. Its a masterclass in guitar.

Once I fell into unconciousness after being injured. There is no way to describe the feeling with words: a kind of warm and soothing, pulsating cocoon that covered and dampened an underlying feeling of terror and urgentness. "Comfortably Numb" nails it with music. Thank you for sharing, Maggie!

Comfortably numb, released on 1980, Purple rain, released in 1984
The entire Pulse concert is a work of art. Every song is worth checking out, but two highlights are High Hopes and Sorrow. I do recommend the new 'Restored & Re-edited' version from the official channel, it has much better quality than older uploads. Funny you mention Purple Rain; Gilmour was on tour when Prince died, and during Comfortably Numb he started playing the Purple Rain solo as a tribute. P.S. That disco ball was the largest in the world at that time, don't know if that record still holds 🙂
It's impossible to listen to this song and not be transported to a completely different emotional space. Sheer genius.
This concert pulse is the greatest concert ever recorded!!! Period!!!
,,, since The Beatles.😂

Gilmore solo is one for the ages. It's arguably the best I've ever heard, at least from an emotive POV.
The single greatest guitar solo ever captured live!!!

@@islandseeker1260 Yes exactly. To be fair I have never seen a reaction video where this aspect is understood from the first listen.
It also explains Pink's first introduction to drugs which lead to "The Wall" being built, and it's eventual demolition.

Excellent reaction, thank you. I was at this 1994 concert back in Michigan at the Pontiac Silverdome....by far the best concert I've ever attended for the atmosphere. DSOTM was also played in its entirety. Please continue the Pink Floyd journey, so many great songs to choose from.
A general guideline about a Pink Floyd concert is that when you feel like closing your eyes and jamming, something visual is going to happen.
You can just watch the whole Pulse '94 vid and pick any single song of it and you can't go wrong! Seen them four times '87-'94 and it's still the most amazing concert experience to date! Unless you've actually seen 10's of thousands of the most diverse people in a single setting standing in total rapt amazement with mouths agape and tears flowing freely....I'm not sure someone can fully understand.
i saw this tour in philadelphia 1994 it was sublime. the disco ball flower surprised everyone when they turned it on. what a great show.
I was there. It is impossible to describe the vibe.

@@jeffdietz630 nailed it!
Probably the best guitar solo of all time
Ha! You're the only one in years to notice the orb in the middle... Thank you! The way it lingers after everything else is extinguished. So brilliant!
Where music stops David Gilmour continues. He creates a connection to your soul with his guitar. He takes you on a musical journey.
Bringing out the world's biggest disco ball for the last 2 minutes of the finale is such a baller move...
Your depiction of floating in the ether is perfect for Pink Floyd. You totally got it.
Thank you!! 🤘😉🤘💟
Masterpiece from a masterful band.
One of the greatest guitar solos perhaps ever recorded.
You have to love it when the reaction is "Wow!" and that is why it is the greatest generation of music!
This is my fav song from legendary Pink Floyd. The ending/solo is beyond my grasp! :)
Saw them on the Division Bell Tour. I cried tears of joy at this. Thank you guys.
I've seen them live twice. Besides the visuals being intense in person they are the only band I've seem that uses quadraphonic surround sound live. It's amazing
nope in Hamburg and hannover it was a 5.1 System
I was there for Earls Court and this show changed my life, it was the 2nd time I saw them but by far the best.
Never to be repeated or forgotten.
The live performance of this with David Bowie....all time favorite.
I love how they leave spaces in the music, it's not jammed with so many notes and words, it gives you time to breathe.
I still tear up at how good Gilmour's solo was.
When you listen to a song, you are not telling your life story.
Pink Floyd. "The First In Space."

I was not PF fan until I gave my boyfriend tickets and he made me go lol. Absolutely mind blowing hearing them live
Comfortably Numb was WAY before Purple Rain.
“A lot of ways you can listen to this and it’s cool” Yeah that’s Pink Floyd.❤
While songs from that Pink Foyd era are just amazing beyond words, it's a pity that so few reactors react either to the first two-three albums, or to The Final Cut. These albums deserve that.
I agree. I find the final cut to be every bit as good as the four albums preceding it.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written especially the musical arrangement and is not made to see live made to listen to on a stereo with headphones. The key to this song are the French horns and the strings, that's what draws you in and you cannot witness that on a live version
Great reaction, you have to react to The Great Gig in the Sky by them, which has one of the best female vocal performance in rock n' roll history.
Fact
Thanks so much! 🤘🤗🤘
The Pulse version or the original? I think the Pulse performance is actually better but people will disagree.
The studio and live version from Pulse have to be seen in different light....it's not a comparison.
The Pulse performance is about the most guaranteed, can't miss. She will love it. She might even cry
Pink Floyd is my therapy, headphones needed
A personal favourite of mine, if you can ever get round to it - doesn't even necessarily have to be a reaction, just check it out in your own time if you'd like - is High Hopes by Pink Floyd, either the studio version of from the same Pulse concert this is taken from. It's heartwrenchily beautiful and it always makes me think of my dad
The Nightwish cover of it from "End of an Era"is well worth a look too. Pink Floyd liked it so I guess that counts for something.
Pink Floyd does not simply play music, they plug in to your freeking soul ! This one makes me cry (dont judge me) . That solo touching me in a way i cant explain. The lyrics alone are so awesome , deep meaning for some of us . love the channel keep rocking girl !
Nobody makes six strings sing like the great David Gilmour.
Comfortably Numb is one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever composed. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. This never gets old. Ever. It speaks to something that we all know and cannot be expressed in any other way. Music - real music is a language all its own. Extraordinary musicians like David Gilmour can communicate their inner experiences as few can today. Gilmour’s guitar appears to be connected directly to his soul. Some musicians can manage that for a few moments. For Gilmour, it’s his natural state of being. It is unmistakable and cannot be faked.
*"What's inside the disco ball?"* ... Roger Waters' ego. It was just too small to hold it in.
As soon as you hear David Gilmour, either his guitar OR his voice, you instantly know it's him.
The album really needs to be listened to from start to finish to see how it all fits together.
Nope
Love it,thank u once more for sharing,Maggie👏👏👏
My favorite song of all time. The greatest rock and roll song ever, in my opinion. And my all-time favorite guitar solo by my favorite guitarist.
I saw them live on this Pulse tour in 1994 at Soldier Field in Chicago and that disco ball was, I swear, the size of a garage. It was huge, but just covered the entire stadium in light. As you may have guessed, Floyd has always been famous for its light show. During this show, it was notable that they used gold lasers, which supposedly had never been used before (I can no longer remember why).
Genius level stuff. The arrangement is outstanding, vocals are mmmmmm good.😊B minor Roger sounds like the devil- G major- David Gilmore sounds like an angel. ❤️🎶❤️👏✅😎
Well the extra commentary added zero insight, other than interuptions.
The production behind this concert was one of a kind and was part of the concept of their album, they want to submerge you into a deep trance between the amazing solo the flashes and the disco ball turning into a lotto flower, this let refract the white light into colors like a prism over all the stadium, giving you a depth lawyer of trance... This was the intention all the time and they made it like any other can't do it.
Too much puppy, not enough Concert.
Great Gig in the Sky! You have to see their Pulse concert (1994) on that song. Pink Floyd will never be contained in a bottle, they will always break free of any mold. I remember going to the Seattle Science Center in the early 90's to watch laser shows in the planetarium set to their music. It was titled 'Laser Floyd'. That was a real experience for those who couldn't go to a live performance. However, when they did show up to town, the concert sold out in minutes. Thanks Maggie for that wonderful reaction. It's always great to see someone experience Pink Floyd for the first time.
Pink Floys is music for the soul , so glad I went to see this live . A emotional concert and a atmosphere beyond belief.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's great for just sitting back relaxing and just being chill
The best thing about Pink Floyd is that they deliver such unique sounds capes with their every song which are also different from one another. While there is a distinct "pink floyd sound" that let's you know that it's them, their talent allows them to be individual masterpieces.
David Gilmour's unique guitar style bind them all together as well.
This is one of the very few songs to bring tears to my eyes, and the last guitar solo just sends me away on a bed of emotion, so beautiful!
🇨🇦 Those of us that got to experience the 70's live are still the most chill you will ever meet ! There are very few artists today that can match this level of innovation !
Saw this concert from the 11th row center (floor) at a sold out NFL stadium. The lasers seemed so close you felt you could touch them. Many then and now saw the open disco ball as a mushroom cloud from a nuclear blast. Added to David's shredding guitar, it felt like the world was ending.
As an opera singer, you would love Pink Floyd's "Great Gig In The Sky."
All the lyrics are just vowel sounds, and it is AMAZING.
♦ seeing at BLACK METAL TEENS LISTENING TO PINK FLOYD
I grew up with Pink Floyd. The ride you experience listening to their music is beyond compare. Sure there are other bands that can take you there, but there's only one Pink Floyd and they always take you there. Chill indeed!
I've been a fan of this awesome group since the late 60`s...For me they can do no wrong...In my opinion Pink Floyd is the greatest Band in music history..Thanks for reacting to them...Back in the 70`s and 80`s they were considered way ahead of their time.
I really appreciate that you took the time to read the lyrics before you heard the song. It gives you better insight into the meaning, especially when combined with the alternating dark and light music.
Seems like I read there were about 20,000 in attendance and this was one of the smaller venues of this tour.
Pink Floyd is known for their laser light shows, they are huge
you can't see pink floyd live anymore but you can go see Brit Floyd the worlds best pink floyd tribute band . I will be seeing them this weekend .. I did see pink floyd live on this tour back in the 90's
I agree - 'Brit Floyd' are the best at reproducing the original Floyd music. Whereabouts is the concert that you are going to see? In the UK? I assume that you've seen 'Brit Floyd's incredible concert at Red Rocks near Denver, Colorado about 15 years ago now? They were incredible on that. I have the DVD of that concert.
@@showmoke nope saw the right here in CT U.sSA. show was grat they tour america every year
The best gift for any guitar... is a David Guilmour.😎
I have enjoyed the Lisbon Concert of this Tour in 1994. The Floyd is eternal...
I saw this concert three nights in a row in Philadelphia and one night up in New York. No one puts on a show like Pink Floyd. Greatest concert I've ever seen and only costs me $33 a night good luck doing that anymore
This band has always been a favorite of mine. Top notch music. They have always had the greatest light show. I believe when this was recorded they had about 3 million wrapped up in the lights. Today it would be about 10 million. Great music to smoke a little and sit back and get lost 😅.
The venue is Earl's Court (now demolished) in London. Its capacity is 20,000 people. Pink Floyd filled that 20,000 seats for FOURTEEN NIGHTS IN A ROW! That's 280,000 people! This concert was in 1994. I saw them twenty years earlier, in 1974, for their release of 'Dark Side of the Moon', and in a small club in around 1967 ... but I was only fourteen years old for that one .. on that occasion, my main memory is of them taking forever to start, walking back and forwards across the stage holding bits of equipment and looking ... distracted. But, turns out they're the greatest band ever to exist on our Earth.
If there is an alternate universe where Pink Floyd retired to doing nightly Vegas shows, please transport me to that reality.
Pink Floyd is such an epic group and this song is one of their most epic. Perhaps one of the greatest songs of the prog rock era. Certainly in the top 10. As others have said, it has TWO of the greatest guitar solos of all time - in the same song. The particular concert video is astounding. But then again, that is the thing. I saw Pink Floyd live in the 80's. Such an amazing concert. Flying pigs, crashing airplanes, massive laser show, huge screen (when that was not done). STILL perhaps the best show I ever saw.
This concert overall is amazing. My parents were lucky enough to go see this on of the shows for this tour. Run like hell is of the same concert is also a close 2nd!
As a non-musician, but music lover, I may not be explaining this right. But the music sounds so basic, so simple, but perfect! Every note can be heard and it's amazing. Don't know if that makes sense. Love it.
If you truly want to know more about the song, listen to the studio version, then the version from the film The Wall (for context), then this version last. All are available on UA-cam. Please, no talking over the guitar solos.
For me there are two bands that absolutely always take you on a journey: Pink Floyd and Tool. And nobody else can touch your soul with a guitar like this man!
I see more and more younger people listening to Pink Floyd and it's fricking awesome.
Maggie, when this concert was released on DVD,it was on two discs and the sleeve had a small flashing red light that kept going for up to five years !!
