For viewers new to this song, the conversation at the beginning is between a doctor and his rock star patient. The doctor gives him an injection so that he's able to perform at his next show.
@jeffchristman674 if you ever watch The Wall then you will know it is his doctors that inject him. He is ODing (or just really high) in his room when the concert promoters/managers and other big music people are trying to get him up to go perform. But he is out of it. They then bring in medical staff and doctors that inject him with something (maybe like narcan or another drug) and he wakes up and is able to perform. If you've never watched it, I recommend it. It tells an entire story with the music.
That feeling you got during the first solo was pink floyd attaching itself to your soul where it will remain forever. I'm nearly 60 years old and grew up listening to them and believe me you don't get sick of them
Pink Floyd is the band for all time!im an 80s kid and I grew up surrounded by pink Floyd lovers now new gen love them as much just a band to put on when you no longer wish to be in this reality
Please check out the LIVE version from the PULSE CONCERT. The extended guitar solo and spectacular light show combine for an unforgettable performance.
I really like how honestly SCEPTICAL MollyBoy was at the beginning of the song; Made it all the more SWEET when he gradually succumbed and we got to witness the birth of a new PinkFloyd fan. This was Priceless 😙
"... I feel like I can feel the guitar solo in my heart." That's David Gilmore, and I think it's fairly common. I lack the vocabulary to adequately descibe what it is about his playing. It's like his phrasing and tone manages to tap into an emotional part of our psyche. The outro solo gets me every time and I have no idea why.
DG sings using his voice quite well, but when he sings through his guitar, I understand exactly what he's saying. Words often fail us, but DG's guitar never does.
I lost my brother and sister to heroin. This song was the soundtrack to their lives. Please… anyone out there, trust me,,, you WILL be missed horribly. Don’t go gently into that night.
The album "The Wall" is what got me into Pink Floyd. A friend told me to put headphones on and really listen to the album. It remains one of my alltime favourite albums
There are two singers for this song. One is Roger Waters, the bassist, who you here at the start. The other is David Gilmour, the band's guitarist. Pink Floyd did not really write songs meant to be heard as singles but rather as part of an album. Most of their songs run into each other with no proper breaks between them. The songs are often linked and meant be listened to in order. This is especially true of the album The Wall, which Comfortably Numb is taken from.
I will FOREVER be Grateful to my parents family friends. My dad worked with him. He introduced me to Pink Floyd at 18. I am not gonna lie, I thought they were way too sodt and weak for me. Don'y judge me too hard, I was 14. They were a secret because they didn't sound hard core. It took some growing but my fiancee I had at 18. He reintroduced them to me. He made me listen. Whenever we were in the van. Pink Floyd. It really taught me true appreciation for good music. I've been an open fan of Pink Floyd since and they are harder than most realize. It taught me you don't have to sound hard to be bad azz. One of my favourite bands.
In 77 I was 35, the music ov the 60s thru 90s was bumper to bumper everyone trying to outdo everyone else, Pink Floyd is top-o-the-heap. Everything you are hearing, I heard x1000. Rock on.
I've only recently come across your site but got to say it's great to see a young person discovering and appreciating the music my generation grew up listening to and that I believe was the best era ever for music. Recommend you give Pink Floyd, The great going in the sky a shot. Vocals that make your hair stand on end.
That was so much fun to watch - you not being sure you were going to like it, and knowing you were about to hear TWO of the all time great guitar solos! Great video!
You'll understand and FEEL the lyrics more as you grow and age. Heartbreaking really, when all innocence is lost. What I wouldn't give to go back....13 in 1978 when I bought this vinyl and have loved EVER SINCE and appreciate it even more now. Great stuff man. I suggest watching the movie made for this. Its from an era you may not know much of (I'm assuming) and it has deep concepts that are classic. Good for you that you're opening your mind to new music (and hopefully other things) Some live they're whole life in one place one way of thinking on the straight and narrow. Okay of that's what one chooses but it was never for me. Enjoy. New sub from me.
You really need to hear the whole album beginning to end to fully appreciate it. A concept album. First heard this 1980 whilst travelling in my boyfriend’s car 200 miles from my house to his. Sublime 👌
Yeah. I felt kind of the same when I first heard this song. Wasn't digging it at first, but when that last solo came in, I was head banging. _THE_ best guitar solo _EVER._
Many people say about their favorite bands they say things like "this group is different"! In the case of Pink Floyd they really are from another Galaxy! They are literally their own genre and nobody else sounds like them!; They don't follow any rules when it comes to songwriting or music! You should probably start by listening to songs from their Dark Side of the Moon album considered to be THE best album of all time from many magazine writers and many critics. also listening to Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here or Animals or even The Wall which Comfortably Numb comes from. When you listen to music from those albums they were meant to be listened to from beginning to end through the entire album so you may lose some context or a song I might stop suddenly. This is because the song your listening to will seamlessly transition into the next song but if you only listen to the one song it may stop abruptly! Always enjoy watching somebody discover Pink Floyd who are completely unique!! If you want to see them and how amazing their legendary concerts are watch anything from their 1994 Pulse concert tour! They have played this song with other people singing it so it sounded a bit different in movies such as "The Departed" a Martin Scorsese film with a giant cast!
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" blows me away every time. In all honesty, I highly recommend you put your headphones on in bed and listen to the entire album. You will be transported. I'd say "Wish You Were Here" was my favorite album when I was a teenager in the 70's. But I was living in hellish violence at home and was escaping with music/drugs which I don't recommend, but that album was a vehicle in which to climb in and escape.
David Gilmore might be the best guitarist to ever live. His guitar sings to you! I love this version, but I actually prefer his 1980 Live in Berlin solo. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Considered by many players to be the best guitar solo in history. The graphic shown is actually the cover for Dark Side of the Moon. Comfortably Numb is from The Wall.
I agree, I believe you would really enjoy seeing the live 1994 pulse concert, the entire concert is awesome, an extremely enjoyable journey to take for sure, Please check it out a.s.a.p.
Pink Floyd is Legendary man, they are on another level altogether, one of the GOATs of Rock music. They were formed in London in 1964, starting out as a Blues based Rock band, like virtually every Rock Band to come out of England in the 1960s. They've had an historic career and have sold hundreds of millions of albums worldwide, and counting! I've been a Floyd fan since 1973 when they released their iconic "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album, I was a 17 year old senior in high school, lol. They're known for their long compositions, philosophical lyrics, also for their mesmerizing live performances, with light and laser shows. Their 1994 Pulse Concert is a good example, "Sorrow" a good choice too! You must do the live version of "Comfortably Numb" at Pulse too, "High Hopes" too!
If you haven’t listened to The Angels (take a long line)or Cold Chisel ( Cheap wine), I think you should. Mind you all of their songs are great. Love what you’re doing. Keep being you. Jo
I heard you say something about this is the longest guitar solo you've heard. This leads me to believe that you haven't heard "Freebird" from Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced lin erd skin erd) a great southern rock band in the 70s. If you're going to react to them, the best video would be the live version at the Oakland Coliseum in 1977.
A lot of devils lettuce influenced this type of music at the time. But kicking back with a pint will do too. Just relax and absorb. You got to listen to whole album to get them.
I suggest that you go to a Pink Floyd Laser Concert!! it is trippy!!! I do not know what kind of person you are..... but you might want to be a bit stoned, LOL. Just kidding, kind of! But I am old enough that I saw Pink Floyd in concert many times. I wish I could see another Laser Concert, but I am now blind.
You don't listen to Pink Floyd. You experience Pink Floyd.
So true!!!
You need to lay down in a dark room with this album and a good pair of headphones and just experience it!
+ a bit of acid tabs
Blotter
Pink Floyd is legendary! David Gilmour is a guitar god! This song has two of the greatest guitar solos EVER!
For viewers new to this song, the conversation at the beginning is between a doctor and his rock star patient. The doctor gives him an injection so that he's able to perform at his next show.
That and this is on the wall not dark side of the moon like the album cover says
It's an injection of heroin.
Yes. His "Doctor".
@jeffchristman674 if you ever watch The Wall then you will know it is his doctors that inject him. He is ODing (or just really high) in his room when the concert promoters/managers and other big music people are trying to get him up to go perform. But he is out of it. They then bring in medical staff and doctors that inject him with something (maybe like narcan or another drug) and he wakes up and is able to perform. If you've never watched it, I recommend it. It tells an entire story with the music.
@@jeffchristman674 No, it literally was a doctor. He was having sever stomach issues.
Pink Floyd is a whole vibe, you gotta just lay back & enjoy the ride with this band. Glad you enjoyed the guitar solo!
That feeling you got during the first solo was pink floyd attaching itself to your soul where it will remain forever. I'm nearly 60 years old and grew up listening to them and believe me you don't get sick of them
I am 73 and it has been attached to my soul since the first time I heard it all those many years ago.❤
Pink Floyd is the band for all time!im an 80s kid and I grew up surrounded by pink Floyd lovers now new gen love them as much just a band to put on when you no longer wish to be in this reality
Please check out the LIVE version from the PULSE CONCERT. The extended guitar solo and spectacular light show combine for an unforgettable performance.
The live version is out now on my channel
The Pulse Concert version will be played at full volume to the mourners as my family fill in my grave at my funeral
The Gilmour live in pompeii version is even better.
The live version is intensely powerful. The studio version is also powerful. Different.
This album spent 944 weeks on the billboard hot 200
You've got to watch their movie "The Wall". It's a trip and amazing.
And then he found Pink Floyd. This is one of the deepest rabbit holes in music. I cant stress that enough. Enjoy!
The face when they get hit first time with a Gilmour solo is priceless
I really like how honestly SCEPTICAL MollyBoy was at the beginning of the song; Made it all the more SWEET when he gradually succumbed and we got to witness the birth of a new PinkFloyd fan. This was Priceless 😙

I listen to this ever single day. I'm almost 60 yrs old & have listened to it since the day it came out.❤
I lost my brother and sister to heroin. This song was the soundtrack to their lives. Please… anyone out there, trust me,,, you WILL be missed horribly. Don’t go gently into that night.
The album "The Wall" is what got me into Pink Floyd. A friend told me to put headphones on and really listen to the album. It remains one of my alltime favourite albums
That is how it was for me also.
Pink Floyd Dark Side of The Moon isn't a song, it's an album and it's a journey.
The entire album is a masterpiece.
Singularly the greatest guitar piece in rock...
There are two singers for this song. One is Roger Waters, the bassist, who you here at the start. The other is David Gilmour, the band's guitarist.
Pink Floyd did not really write songs meant to be heard as singles but rather as part of an album. Most of their songs run into each other with no proper breaks between them. The songs are often linked and meant be listened to in order. This is especially true of the album The Wall, which Comfortably Numb is taken from.
Yeah Pompeii 1974. Maybe the best music video ever made.
After you watch the movie the whole album hits that much harder.
Nobody can not like a David Gilmour solo.
I will FOREVER be Grateful to my parents family friends.
My dad worked with him.
He introduced me to Pink Floyd at 18.
I am not gonna lie, I thought they were way too sodt and weak for me.
Don'y judge me too hard, I was 14.

One of my favourite bands.
The pulse concert live performance 1994 will blow your shocks off!!
It’s out now! Check my recent video
My personal favourite guitar solo of all time. To shred really fast is a great trick, but to play with this much soul.... That's virtuosic.
In 77 I was 35, the music ov the 60s thru 90s was bumper to bumper everyone trying to outdo everyone else, Pink Floyd is top-o-the-heap. Everything you are hearing, I heard x1000. Rock on.
WoW 🤩 o my god pink Floyd 🌈 this music is magic
Pink Floyd is badass , great reaction mollyboy 🤘🔥🎸💯...

Best song to have a good spliff too and relax 👌🏽

As they're saying, the live version of this song from PULSE.

You should watch this song on the Pulse live concert. It’s tremendous.

Always give your true opinion
My predominantly African American middle school was taken to this laser show in 8th grade.. Best field trip I ever went on.
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" blows me away every time. In all honesty, I highly recommend you put your headphones on in bed and listen to the entire album. You will be transported.

But I was living in hellish violence at home and was escaping with music/drugs which I don't recommend, but that album was a vehicle in which to climb in and escape.
The best guitar solo,, just close your eyes and drift
Listen to the album from start to finish. Floyd is like that. The whole album is a performance artwork.
David Gilmore on vocals and guitar!
David Gilmore might be the best guitarist to ever live. His guitar sings to you! I love this version, but I actually prefer his 1980 Live in Berlin solo. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
4:35 the way the lead guitar goes with the vocals it's unbelievable.
I request this song at wedding receptions. A great slow song to dance to!
This is amazing, but you need to watch the Pulse concert version. Keep on the Floyd trail.
It’s on the channel now!
Both Roger, and David have unique voices. I love them both. Always a strong message, you may be too young to understand most. Imho
The live version of this song at Pulse is amazing
yow need to see the film to get it bro !
You like it because it IS good music!
I see a lot of myself in your reaction, almost 40 years ago. Really enjoyed that, thanks :)
What you do with Pink Floyd is, get really relaxed and listen to the whole album. I highly recommend, Wish You Were Here!
Smoke a jo1nt and close your eyes. THAT'S how you experience Pink Floyd! 😀
This song makes me cry
Proof that people can get wiser as they aged: I used to hate Pink Floyd and now it's one of my favorite band ever!
Considered by many players to be the best guitar solo in history. The graphic shown is actually the cover for Dark Side of the Moon. Comfortably Numb is from The Wall.
The more you hear it, the better it gets.
Great reaction Budd !Hope you do the live version and you get to hear all of the outro guitar solo . So epic !
imho the best guitar solo known to man
I just had to start smiling as you were kind of waffling at the beginning and I knew what was coming!!!
You'd definitely appreciate 'Have a cigar' from Pink Floyd.
My favorite drinking song for the past 40 years
it's too late you have been touched can't turn back your Pink Floyd experience has began
Boy, you be crazy. The waa-waa, do-do-do that Alan parson’s put in with strings.
I agree, I believe you would really enjoy seeing the live 1994 pulse concert, the entire concert is awesome, an extremely enjoyable journey to take for sure, Please check it out a.s.a.p.

Pink Floyd recorded ALBUMS. You simply must hear them in their entirety!
Pink Floyd The Wall movie is worth the watch You will see what they are singing about 🫶✌️🏴
At 2:30, a 57 year old man watching this thinks, " That's right, son...be patient, lean back, and buckle up your emotional brain".

You have to check out the live version but make sure its from the Pulse tour. Best solo ever!!
Look at every Top 10 list of the greatest rock n roll solos of all time. Check out every Top 5 list. Hello Comfortably Numb
It has been said that many young musicians dream of playing guitar, while guitars dream of being played by David Gilmore.
seen a few boxes go into the fire to this tune
Needs to be listened too in conjunction with the whole album or watch the film as it’s telling a story and this is a big part of the lyrics.
Listen to Two suns in the sunset from the final cut
I am go glad he didn't take the end solo and chop it up and destroy it
You need to watch the Movie and see the scene this is from!
A lot of devils lettuce influenced this type of music at the time. But kicking back with a pint will do too. Just relax and absorb. You got to listen to whole album to get them.
Do the PULSE live version...
Got it releasing in 15 minutes
