      While I do agree with your statement and this is my favorite solo ever, I think if was less inclined towards blues then Randy Rhodes Mr Crowley might overtake it. Very close to this one is Gilmour's On the Turning Away solo. Gilmour is my favorite guitarist along with Iommi and Clapton just for their blues work.

      Better late than never. I'm a little older than you but have been listening to Pink Floyd for over 30 years. I even had the good fortune to see them live. In my opinion, Gilmour is considered one of the greatest because of the notes that he doesn't play as the ones he does. He creates atmosphere with the spaces between the notes and doesn't feel the necessity to every second with sound.

      Cheers, Philip … just here to say that this song, and ESPECIALLY this performance, will span generations. Gilmour still moves me to tears, and this rendition of “Numb” is the icing on top. I showed this to my 7 year old daughter tonight, and was moved beyond words to glance over her direction during the final solo to see her siestas back in the sofa, eyes closed, experiencing her first exposure to Gilmour the right way, FEELING it.

    Gilmour has an INCREDIBLE ability to translate all of his emotion into a solo. I can't think of a single other guitarist who can play like he can.

    As a man who is a bit older? I've learned one thing. Bands in the 70's and early 80's took the time to write things that meant something. Words that will be remembered forever. Very few young people pay attention to what these bands were trying to say. The stories, the inuendos, the heart, meaning of what it's like to be alive.
    Very few people today get it and it makes me glad to have grown up in that time. For I know nothing holds a candle to what this band and others of that era did.

      @Studio44B 3 роки тому +1

      Being a bit older myself (I saw them twice in 87 and 88 when I was in college), I agree with you about the artistic effort the artist put into each song. But they weren't working for the singles. Yes, they wanted singles that would get radio airplay, but these folks would carry notebooks around with them, and write down ideas or a lot of poetry. And they wrote what they could play without any electric enhancements. I was talking with a friend the other day about radio. In the 1970's, most teens and younger were still listening to AM Top 40 radio. FM was where you found the Progressive Rock Stations, Classical, and Jazz stations--not Top 40. This is because you couldn't give away an FM license in the 1960s. Now...Good luck.
      My thought was that the AM station I listened to when I was young played just about everything. You'd hear the Bee Gees next to The Eagles next to Queen next to Donna Summer next to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. You got a bit of everything. Now stations are so homogenized, the only place you really find a blend of music is on UA-cam. Weird, that.

      In fairness, very few people got it back then either. Pink Floyd is considered extraordinary today because they did in the 1970's what very few can do today. But very few could do it in the 1970's either. They would be extraordinary in any era. The typical commercial song in the 1970's was trash, just as is the typical commercial song today. But even today, there are a few, a very few, who have that same intelligence and touch. I won't name names. You need to explore, and filter through the dregs, as we've always had to do.

I must also confess that every time I hear this masterpiece I’ve become disgusted by the crap they’ve been putting out in music for the last 20 or more years.

I knew it would likely be the last time they toured with 3 of the original mbrs. The encore was approximately 45 minutes culminating with a near 15 min. rendition of Comfortably Numb as seen in your video. No one but no one can massage a guitar into another voice like David Gilmour. No one can make you REALLY and actually FEEL the music like he can. The second solo in Numb is the quintessential solo of multiple generations. Even greats like Eddie Van Halen, Clapton, and Vaughn said DAMN that was great. Unfortunately 2 of them have passed on. Their approval while unnecessary is I'm sure very satisfying.

      For the hundred thousand or so folks that got to see THSI concert (unfortunately I wasn’t one of em) I hate you….no I am seriously jealous. It’s by far the best I’ve ever heard or seen. I have seen Pink Floyd (minus Roger Waters) 3 times. The last was at the LA Forum in 2017? I really cannot describe that that concert felt (and I do mean felt) like. The thing is….musically they are incredible. The chord progressions, the background work, the sax, the piano, and of course David Gilmour. Not sure how anyone can challenge that he is the GOAT of guitar….

      I understand the era argument and it does have validity. It is true that people do tend to like what they grew up with hearing. Having said that.......it is also true that music today has a shelf life equivalent to a carton of milk. Let's take this as an example. Who today is doing a production on this level? Granted it's from the 90's but the music coverd in the show is much older. To sum up.... I believe that the artists of yesteryear were waaaaaay better due to their freedoms of creativity and musicianship. Will anyone be interested in today's music 50 years from now? Will most of it stand the test of time? I have my doubts.

I have been fortunate enough to see them live several times, and it's noting that I can even begin to describe to you, you just have to be there and experience it!

    “Wish you were here” is the one that makes me cry. My mother was murdered when I was 7. My only comfort was that my favorite Aunt got custody of me. When I was 12, my Aunt had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and died. She was 33 years old. What little part of child me that was left died that day.
    “Birds” by Imagine Dragons, “Long Gone” by Chris Cornell or the Lord Huron tune “The Night we Met” really sum up how I feel about life most of the time.
    My favorite Pink Floyd song is “Run like Hell”. I love them for never selling out and embracing fascists, and I can’t say the same for a lot of epic bands.
    I’m 47 now and the hurt doesn’t fade; it just becomes familiar. I think the pain and the times on the precipice gave me a connection to humanity and an awareness of how grief impacts us in many ways.
    Sometimes I think there are more people experiencing excruciating emotional agony than we will ever realize. It often manifests through other avenues and is diluted because our society mostly looks down on those who speak of it. It’s seen as weakness and those in the trenches of their personal hell will stuff it and some will express it in ways society will accept. It’s bizarre and inhumane.
    I knew someone who died on 9/11. My heart was crushed for so many reasons. I think I grieved and cried and entire year. This person wasn’t a close friend, in fact, i only knew her because her sibling had always talked about her.
    Yes, I grieved for her, victims, survivors. I grieved for NYC.
    I looked around and so many cried with me for a long while. When I’m honest with myself, I can recognize that this intense sorrow about 9/11 was acceptable grief and angst. That year I had also cried for all the times I hadn’t because my pain was too depressing or irritating or depressing.
    I think our society has acceptable grief, but the definitions are so narrow. Thank God for music to say what we can’t.
    Until we honor the individual experience, we will continue to see masking and misdirected anger, unhealthy coping and stunted healing.
    I learned I had a right to all my emotions and processed them on my own terms, but only after spending several years in dysfunction and crushing isolating depression.
    My hope is that someday we have so much more than music to express our inner lives and begin to heal.
    Until then; I have sheer stubbornness and uncomfortable feelings I use to fuel my drive to continue to live. At least we can have a friend or two, dogs and other pets, and music to free us, soothe our hearts and nourish the soul.
