    David Gilmour is the guitarist from pink flloyd. This song "comfortably numb" is from "The Wall" album. It is a concept album that tells the story about a fictional rock star named Pink who has built a wall around himself to isolate himself from human emotions.
    In this song Pink has become physically and emotionally ill before a concert.
    The doctor comes in and gives him a shot which makes Pink become comfortably numb so he can go onstage for the show.
    It's a double meaning. Comfortably numb for the show as a metaphor for how Pink has become comfortably numb to all human emotion.
    The absolute best version of this song is from the pulse concert. It will totally blow you away; even after you've seen the version you just watched.
    " COMFORTABLY NUMB PULSE CONCERT" will bring it up on you tube.

    • @system64738
      @system64738 2 місяці тому +3

      And I can add: "The Wall" (and Comfortably Numb) is from 1979 ... so it's really from the older stuff...
      I find this version the best:
      ua-cam.com/video/26GAP7FAMXU/v-deo.html
      Not necessarily because of the music or the vocals - but because what belongs together comes together here.
      On this song in particular, Waters' and Gilmour's voices complement each other perfectly.
      Unfortunately, Waters was (and still is) on an egocentric trip - when I think of what good music the two of them could have created together with Mason and Wright (R.I.P.)....

    I don't think it's so much about his guitar playing as the whole package, his writing skills/compositions, the atmosphere, the Pink Floyd stage sets, the synergy between the friends having played together for decades, their individual contributions to the music, it all comes together at the Pulse concert. Worth watching from start to finish.

    David Gilmour is one of Eddie Van Halen's inspirations. I remember in one of Eddie's rare interviews back in the day (I think it was Guitar Player magazine) while he was sitting with the interviewer and talking about influences Eddie mentioned Gilmour and said he loved his playing that "it's so tasty". In that same interview he also mentioned Eric Clapton as a huge influence as well. As a couple have mentioned below, the 1994 Pulse concert is epic and a much better version solo-wise.

I'm just clarifying for the reactor that Careful, A Saucerful, and Set the Controls was music not released on the album Meddle. Set the Controls and A Saucerful came out on A Saucerful Of Secrets in 1968, Careful With That Axe Eugen was a non-album single released in 1968. Meddle was released in 1971.

    Every version of Comfortably Numb has its high points - you cant go wrong with any of them...The Pulse version is a tick higher in my book just for the wailing bit done by Dave which isnt done on the live versions afterwards...but the fact this version was done in Pompeii and has many good hooks as well and is in High Def (not video like Pulse was recorded in) gives this version a good boost......

    Dressed in an old black T shirt, jeans, scruffy beard and looks like some regular Joe... he plugs his guitar into his soul, and takes you away on a journey that you will never forget. Watch the Pulse 1994 version - the crowd is still, in total awe, locked as one while their souls fly away until he brings them home, many with tears on their face.
    This song has meant a lot to me since I first heard it in 1977 when The Wall came out. It is one of the few things that came bring me back from the pits of despair and give me hope, to keep on living when all I have wanted to do is give up. I am 58 years old and my kids love this song to. There are a lot of people who acknowledge that this song has saved them - and I am one of them.

On Wikipedia´s list of bestselling albums of all time it lists #4. "The Dark Side of the Moon" held the record for the longest time on the Billboard 200 chart in history, with over 950 weeks landed. It reached Number 1 on the Billboard 200 on April 28, 1973, one month after its release. "The Dark Side of the Moon" made a re-entry in the Billboard 200 charts as late as 2020.

There are a lot of people who have issues with Roger Waters, but I think he was a very important member of Pink Floyd. Here you would get to see Waters on bass. You should check it out for sure.

    Comfortably Numb is from Pink Floyds 11th album "The Wall", released in 1979. Pink Floyd is one the greatest bands of all time. The performance you watched was awesome, but 1994's PULSE tour performance is absolutely amazing. This band has been releasing music since 1967 (The Piper at the Gates Of Dawn), with their final album dropping in 2015. One song you might know, "MONEY", from 1973's DARKSIDE OF THE MOON, considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time.

    You have to watch The Wall. It's a masterpiece. It's a shame that David Gilmour and Roger Waters, main forces in the group Pink Floyd, had a falling out, understatement, and will not perform together anymore. They made a lot of really good music together for a lot of years. Pink Floyd is another rabbit hole worth diving into.

    David Gilmour is from Pink Floyd, the Guitarist and main music writer for them, this is a song from the Pink Floyd album The Wall, if i know one thing from the comments on other videos of people who react to this song, there will be a lot of people giving a lot of misinformation about the song and probably the album as a whole.

      well... Although Waters is no longer part of the band it is an undeniable fact that he is the writer behind their biggest sucesses as a whole... Especially when you mention the wall I feel like clarifying that Roger Waters wrote and composed that entire album... It was actually one of the reasons why they ended up splitting up; Because Waters was doing his own thing and kinda blackmailed the band into doing his will... Before they recorded the wall album Waters had shown up to a band meeting with two fully written albums; The Wall and The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking. He asked the band witch they wanted to do as Pink Floyd because he would then record the other as a solo project. Thats when the others started feeling like being a band for hire who didn't get any artistic influence any longer.
      Pink floyd has 4 general eras in their past: The first years and albums were experimentally playfull pop fuelled by Syd Barrets madcap mind and lyrics. The second was the psychedelic experimental phase where all the banndmembers basicly improvised their way through sound and space.... Third period was Roger Waters evolution as a concept album writer and political artist. The third and last period was the one where Gilmour took over as witer, in close collab with Wright and Mason had their older, softer and more philosophical period...

    This man is 78 years old. Back in the day they had to have a doctor back stage to get lead guitar member Syd Barrett on his feet to get through a show. He was an addict and had extreme mental problems. This is a song about Syd. The lyrics of “just a little pin prick” and “I do believe it’s working” and “that’ll keep you going for the show” are about the doctor with Syd. He was comfortably numb.

      Waters, who wrote the lyrics, has said: “There’s one song that’s about Syd (“Shine on You Crazy Diamond”), but the rest of it isn’t. It’s a much more universal expression of my feelings about absence. Because I felt that we weren’t really there. We were very absent."
      Gilmour also added: “Although “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” is the one that is specifically about Syd, and “Wish You Were Here” has a wider remit, I can’t sing it without thinking about Syd.”

    Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite artists! I was fortunate to see David Gilmour on this tour when it came through Chicago in 2016. I had only become a fan of Pink Floyd the year before, and he was my favorite (I love guitar players!), so I was thrilled when I found out he was touring his solo album from 2015 (Rattle That Lock). Of course, he played a lot of Pink Floyd classics (like 'Comfortably Numb'), as well. Light shows were also a big part of Pink Floyd's stage show, which David Gilmour carried over into his solo tours. He was 70 years old in 2016, so he still sounded amazing! David Gilmour is known for his emotional, soulful solos. He isn't flashy. His haunting vocals are also a big part of the Pink Floyd sound. David joined Pink Floyd in 1968. After the band's lyricist and bass player, Roger Waters, left the band in 1985, David Gilmour became the leader of Pink Floyd for the rest of the 1980s and beyond. Probably the best Pink Floyd concert video is from 1994; it's called Pulse. I suggest reacting to the song 'Sorrow' from the Pulse concert. In the Pulse shows, there are also two other original members of Pink Floyd: Drummer Nick Mason and keyboard player Richard Wright. Sadly, Richard Wright died in 2008, but he performed keyboards in David Gilmour's solo shows in the early-to-mid 2000s, which I thought was cool.
