I took my wife to her 1st concert and it was Pink Floyd for the Divion Bell tour. We had 7th row center at RFK Stadium. So I've seen this solo up close and personal. David was serenading me 🤣
Wonderful that you got that very very unique experience seeing them perform together once again. Even if Dave hadn’t shown up the show was still incredible. What a true masterpiece & to witness it live & experiencing Roger & Dave perform There biggest hit will never be forgotten I bet. Great emotional moment in your life im sure 👌. ✌️👍✌️: 🐖☝️🐑
I heard those rumors too - that Gilmour would do a surprise appearance in Comfortably Numb during one of Roger's Wall shows. (Surely not here in the US, but we had hope.) I didn't know until just now that he'd actually done it. Very classy (and emotional) performance by both artists. Dave could hardly look at Roger during the Live 8 set. This time there was real joy in his performance, and Roger was at the bottom of the wall throwing focus and support (and no doubt gratitude) to Dave the whole time. They'll never be best of friends, but they shared something this night. I'm so glad they had this moment! And yeah, tears. They shared this moment with us too!
@@stonewall3041 honestly, i don't think so. I used to think the reason they have continued to be so rocky was because of roger but roger always seemed enthusiastic after the split when they were together, but david meh. i remember seeing another clip where both david and nick mason got on stage with roger, roger was smiles, david face like a smacked arse.
I was there with my 16 year old son who still says this was the best concert he has ever been to. At the end of the evening they played ‘outside the wall’ and Nick Mason joined Waters and Gilmour on stage so a really magical night.
My 22yo son was at the RW gig when Mason and Wright came on and played. He was living inside my late wife’s body and unborn yet. He loves it when I remind him of this. My friend Dugal was with us too. ❤
What a moment that must have been. Can you imagine going to the show and not knowing this was going to happen? I've watched this at least a dozen times and each time I get goosebumps.
@@dianahohimer1107 Some friends and I were chatting, over a few beverages, about Pink Floyd. We all had seen Australia Pink Few, and a few had seen Roger Waters and a few had seen Pink Floyd without Waters. One had seen Pink Floyd live in the 8o's. We all bowed to him.
There are only 3 songs in this world of ours that can make my eyes well up in a matter of seconds: Comfortably Numb by Gilmour, Comfortably Numb by Waters and Comfortably Numb by the bloody both of them.
The face that David has at the end of the song just breaks my heart. On the one hand, he's just played Comfortably Numb, one of the hallmarks of his career with his fellow band member, Roger Waters. On the other hand, he can't help but be reminded of the wall (pun intended) that exists between. Even though this was an amazing experience, it's also so bittersweet, because he knows it might never happen again. And surely enough, it never did (for now)
@@TheMisteredin2 Wow, well I am glad it’s back then! Just also surprised I’d never heard of it. You only hear the stories about how they despise each other. I guess whether or not that’s true, their musical bond is so undeniable that even they are willing to put their pasts aside to put on a legendary show!
It’s sad that now after all these years, Roger has finally grown up and do to the lasting emotional damage he put on Dave, rogers emotional growth comes too late as the 2 men are like mark and David Knopfler. They can no longer see eye to eye and we will only have little moments like this where they can put their emotional past in the past for a greater good. Something that isn’t easy for anyone. Especially one like Dave who went through hell in the 80s with Roger just being a down right piece of work back then. Let’s face it, Phil collins didn’t sue genesis for going on without him in 1997. Lie gram didn’t sue foreigner. The former members of Jefferson starship let Paul Kantner continue his beloved band and settled out of court. And the list goes on. But Roger went on torturing Dave. Something that probably influenced Dave in making the bad choices he made on a momentary lapse of reason (the whole 80s vibe couldn’t have been Dave in his right mind). So seeing this to me, as a child of the 90s, is a bittersweet event that shows what could have been if Roger had controlled his ego.
@@foxdavani4091 you make some great points here, but I just want to say that you’re not truthfully giving the whole story here. Roger’s qualms with the band came down to him not thinking the other two were good enough musicians to carry out his vision. Dave wasn’t treated as badly as Nick and Rick. Dave’s issues with Roger were in defense of his other band mates. We have to remember - Roger Waters was the visionary of Pink Floyd. He wrote 90% of their material, if not more. He earned at least some right to be critical of how his band mates played his music. Have you listened to Momentary Lapse of Reason? It’s god awful except for like, 1 song - MAYBE 2…Roger wanted to end them parading around as Pink Floyd because he wanted to disassociate The Wall and Dark Side with MLoR, and honestly who could blame him? The problem was Roger’s ego, don’t get me wrong. But his issues weren’t completely unfounded. If Dave and the guys didn’t have the Pink Floyd name I highly doubt they’d have been successful on their own merit. And that’s no knock on them. But at the end of the day they needed Roger’s music to stay afloat, and Roger knew it. But Roger ego couldn’t handle the thought of basically carrying some of the guys to fame and fortune without pulling more of their own weight. He just went about it the wrong way…
Dave's guitar giving Roger's concept and lyrics an expression. A scream. An emotional outlet. It wouldn't work without the two of them. The song is theirs.
I saw it at Earls Court in 1980. The sound quality was pretty poor and the cops were preventing us from leaving at the end to avoid a crush in the underground station. I saw Peter Gabriel at the same venue seven years later and the sound was excellent and it was a much better concert. They moved the stage out into the hall for Peter Gabriel. I don't know if that was the only reason for the better sound, but I expect not.
The evening before this I was in the very first row centre and had the gorgeous Polly Samson taking photos in front of me, so I asked her which night David was appearing. She waved her finger as in no-no and shook her head. Luckily, I also had tickets for row 2 the next night and bingo, I stood bang in front of where David appeared. You pretty couldn't hear him initially, as the crowd roar was monumental. It was a eurphoric moment.
@@wollewatz it was 2 days before my 30th Birthday when I went to the O2 Arena to see the show. My 2 friends who were there with me had also heard the rumour that Gilmour would make an appearance during the tour. We all said how cool would it be if he showed up that night….not thinking it would actually happen! As you can see and hear, the place went crazy when the spotlight turned on and David Gilmour was above The Wall! Honestly just made the hairs on my arms and neck stand on end. It truly was electrifying! Plus when they played Outside The Wall Nick Mason joined them on stage. 😎
I was there too mate, what a night! Definitely one of the best nights of my life. The moment David appear at the top of the wall tears rolled out of my eyes instantly. I still got chills just writing about that night.
I would expect my Dad to see this Roger-David reunion a short while in time on stage, now that he has passed away nearly 10 years ago. I send this tears to you Dad, Pink Floyd' fan of the very first hours, in the sky. Love you Dad, Georges, for ever.
Anyone else catch David not sing “I turned to look but it was gone…” and instead repeated the first chorus lyric of “now I’ve got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not understand- this is not how I am.”? And the background singer did a great job catching the mistake and quickly adjusted.
He probably hadn't performed it for a while and wouldn't have rehearsed with Roger. A couple of nasty bum notes on the solo too. shame. He's absolutely nailed it in every performance since then though, awesome!
He’s got more than one and doesn’t place an awful of importance on any single version of it - I was lucky enough to go to his houseboat studio once and his manager gave us a tour and told us that. One of them was sat in the studio part at one end of the boat, and the temptation to grab it and play a bit was overwhelming!
And yet, any Stratocaster picked up and played by Gilmour will have the same impact of his personal style and choice of tones. As someone once said, "Amateurs are focused on hardware, pros are focused on 'software' "(- what's "upstairs").
It was Nick Mason. At no point did they even show who was playing. The drumming was exactly as Nick Mason always played it. There is a 1980 live version where Nick actually plays even more fills than here.
@@neaituppi7306 I don't think this is Nick Mason drumming. Only listen to a quick hi-hat bit at 3:38, Mason never does that. I think this is Graham Broad drumming
They didnt get tired and uninspired like those bands that continue past their best. Put it down to musical differences. Luckily, all of Pink Floyd's career was the pinnacle, and we're left with many masterpiece's.
I was there for this - nobody knew it was coming in the audience. A crazy, special moment that I will never forget. Before the gig me and my friends were having a beer the other side of the river, then a private chopper flew over going towards the O2 and landed. My mate said, "I wonder if that Gilmour - haha, no chance!"... always wondered if it actually WAS him, considering we saw him a few hours later!!!
@@ferenckovacsx Pink Floyd originally performed The Wall in London, New York and Los Angeles. The show was very big and expensive, so they only played those three cities. It was spectacular!
@@minichols5472 Roger is not perfect, but his "vision" with concepts albums and his top-tier lyrics writing makes him a genius. Seriously, do you know ANY other band with that level of lyrics ? Any ? I don't know any myself. Same for the concepts of their "golden arc" albums, I've listened to many albums, concepts or not, THOSE ones are just like nothing else, far above.
Это нечто. Я выросла на Пинк Флойде. И долго не знала, что они расстались... Может и к лучшему. Я до сих их слушаю. И не перестаю утверждать, что их творчество на Земле - это то, что останется непревзойденным многие сотни лет. Низкий им поклон.
OK, just watched the video 3 times and yep....chills every time , especially when the crowd realizes it is David Gilmour!! And yes, the audiences at Pink Floyd concerts really do sing along like that. You should hear 70,000 people sing Wish You Were Here in perfect unison! That will give you the chills too.
«in perfect unison» Well... That the thing with "crowd singing": it ALWAYS sounds "perfect"... It's been explained scientifically (through gaussian curve...).
David was the best thing to ever happen to Pink Floyd after Syd was no longer in the band. They may have had their moments that led to disbanding and not being the best of mates, but Gilmour and Waters is as iconic a duo as there ever will be in the history of music!
Tengo 16 años, Hace poco fui a ver a Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill y no puedo describir lo magico que fue, ya vi 2 veces a roger, me encantaria en algun momento verlo a david
Yo tengo 32… fui a verlo a waters a the wall y fui a Gilmour en el hipódromo lo espere 16 años... Un sueño cumplido lo que lloré ese día no tiene nombre.
Bro tengo 15 fui a ver el concierto de This Is Not A Drill un día despues de ver la pelicula de The Wall Fue la primera vez que vi a Roger Waters y despues de esto me he enamorado de Pink Floyd he oido su musica durante toda la vida pero desde el final del año pasado que me adentré en su musica y me he convertido en todo un fanatico a Pink Floyd Ojala un día vea a Gilmour también saludos amigo
@@ChiEsp619 sisi es totalmente una locura porque yo los conozco desde chico y a roger lo fui a ver cuando era chico, pero esta ves, en this is not a drill, fue maaaagico, encima ya lo venia escuchando por 1 año porque lo "redescubri" y es lo mejor del mundo
When we arrived in London from Rome to attend the show and realized that David was there the day before we did hope to see him again but did not happened again. Marvelous gig, anyway. Years later I met David outside V&A museum and had the chance to shake his hand. What a thrill
@@wilbertjimenez9400 that's the narrative but gilmour still complains about royalties on Animals in interviews, it's definitely both of them holding ill feelings
I had the great fortune to be at Earls Court for the original gigs in August 1980 aged 18. I was able to take my 11 year-old son to this one at the O2 and gave him my previously unworn original tee shirt to wear. I've seen hundreds of gigs over the years and very many have been incredible. The Wall stands out as on an entirely different level.
I really enjoyed how Roger had his arms extended straight up while looking up at Daivid and the spotlight shining on him. What a great show that must have been. Long live Pink Floyd.
I saw this concert in Paris Stade de France, the best show i've ever seen. In August 2022, Comfortably Numb has been voted the Greatest Guitar Solo of All Time by listeners to Planet Rock radio in a new poll. Thousands of votes were cast for the poll, which was an open vote - meaning that any rock song in recorded history was eligible to be included in the countdown. Once the votes had been counted, David Gilmour's solo for the band's 1979 track Comfortably Numb was named the Greatest Of All Time.
Yes Gilmours appearance is out of this world and I get that's the main highlight. But no ones mentioned the awesome light sequence when waters smashes the wall. Wow. Floyd and their lighting backdrops have always been out of this world adds a whole extra dimension to the music
Rob Mummery's basement and he said you have to hear this record I found. Fucking blew me away. I was 12 years old and i am going to be 65 in a month and a half.
Nothing beats Gilmour’s solo in Pompeii in 2016 or 18, musically speaking. This performance is just on another level though. I can’t imagine going to a RW concert and then seeing Gilmour pop up. Incredible.
I think it was very fitting that David Gilmore was on the top of the wall towering over everything and everyone. In my humble opinion he represents the best that humanity can produce he is a gentleman a scholar a artist and a humble generous man. A gift to humanity
It's amazing that one song can contain two of the greatest guitar solos in rock history. And given the contentious nature of Waters and Gilmour's relationship, that this even happened is incredible.
I saw them in Edinburgh on the DSOTM Tour, Set list; WYWH, the whole of the unreleased album DSOTM Encore; Echoes from Meddle I have seen hundreds of other, concerts, but this is still my favourite!
An exceptional solo by Gilmour executing the part as originally planned.But the Wall as a whole is a tribute to not only to it's players but to it's creator.Writing the music for this piece is beyond the norm,but then putting it to a show/concert in a scale such as this is incredible.Yes,Roger gets under many peoples skin,but his concerts are legendary,as these two were when they performed together.
The production of "The Wall-Live in Berlin" the original concert back in July 21, 1990 with the Scorpions, Cyndi Lauper, Thomas Dolby, Sinead O'Conner, Bryan Adams and the rest is legendary. I've never seen a more grandiose concert production like that. It was way ahead of its time.
This is so special to me seeing these 2 together again at this time and on my daughters bday! Have a had falling out with her since the plandemic and it was just a reminder of hope to me! God bless you guys Pink Floyd you have been so so so dear to my soul!
Awesome moment when Roger raises his arms to welcome David. Both are shaken to the point that they cannot control their voices properly for a while!! Very emotional performance. Peace & Love, Brothers ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
06:26 this is still one of the beautiest moments in concerts history. Watching this alive I was in deep shock and still wet-eyed again and again watching it in a record.
When Rodger bangs on the wall and it all splits apart? That's just such a beautiful thing. Pink floyd is easily the greatest band of all time, because somehow they preform songs that are decades old and make them new each time! This is true art
That gave me the most extreme chills that I think I’ve had in a long time the reaction when David stepped out was just legendary and man. His voice is just like the album just an incredible video. I can’t believe it took me this long to find it.
🥸 c'est tellement beau et magnifique Roger/David (Nick était aussi présent ce soir là à l'O2 Arena ! pas moi !) 🥰 continuez à prendre du plaisir chacun d'entre vous dans vos musiques respectives c'est le plus important à mes yeux ! vous êtes dans mon coeur à vie ROGER/DAVID/NICK/❤RICK❤SYD❤ et toute vos teams je leur donne volontiers un ❤😘🥸 ❤PINK FLOYD ❤
Been Comfortably Numb so many times listening to Floyd that just the 4 notes of Wish You Were Here or Anybody out-there is enough to send me deeeep down the hole. One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the best songs of all time!
First time seeing this clip, amazing amazing amazing, Pink Floyd fan since DSOTM was released, I’m 64 and love to see them both to put past their differences and come together with Nick Mason and do a concert in memory of Rick Wright and Sid Barrett! I know this probably won’t happen but I have my memories!!
Enjoying this joy of watching a Roger Waters concert I will probably never be able to, but I thank you very much for posting these videos because you are sharing it very satisfying. Thank you.
I saw Pink Floyd at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh in 74 on the DSOTM Tour, it was my first concert First half; the unreleased WYWH Interval DSOTM Encore; Echoes from Meddle I have been to hundreds of concerts since, this is still the best
I love Roger Waters and his theatrics. I cannot take my eyes off of him, he is so much fun and fascinating to watch. @ 5:06 he goes into a FROZEN STATUE pose as Gilmour makes it EXTRA with his kick ass guitar solo. Brilliant!
This was in 2011. Seeing these two guys together, and performing this song in particular is something rare, to keep in the iris of your eyes. Something like a mirage. Gilmour: Nice to meet you, my name is Guitar! I had the immense pleasure of seeing Waters, solo, in Salvador, Brazil, in 2018, performing it and I just thought it was a fantastic experience! Seeing the two guys then, honestly, it would be almost extrasensorial.
Saw the very first concert February 1980 (and the Sunday show also) in LA. Life changing experience! When the curtains caught fire during "Another Brick in the Wall" my ex wife said "the stage is on fire" and I said "No, the first line to Mother is "Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb, it's part of the show!"" I was obviously in another🤣 world at that point!
‘I’ll do it Roger, as long as I’m 30ft away from you at all times…’
Haha! I even said it in his voice in my head. Love it 😂
hahahahahahhahahaa
I get that 🤣🤣
If I were Gilmour, I'd also stay 30 feet away from him at all times...
It shows Gilmour will do things like this because his fans mean so much to,him, he doesn’t want to punish the fans, I love Gilmour
This comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine not knowing you’re about to see the most legendary guitar solo ever being performed by its original creator.
Lol!

@@MarkThomas1ciao Mark! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🌅
It was a miracle ... How many years they lost in fighting.. How many works we lost.
much lost, but it also makes what there is some of the most valuable work out there.
They didnt get tired and uninspired like those bands that continue past their best. Put it down to musical differences.
Luckily, all of Pink Floyd's career was the pinnacle, and we're left with many masterpiece's.
It's not tragic. There was still great out put from, waters, pink Floyd and David Gilmore.
All because of Roger.
True
Damned... This made me cry for the second time today... Probably I'm getting old... Or maybe this is too much... ❣
Incredible, simply incredible
Fucking chills... makes me wish time travel was really possible! Thanks gentlemen for providing the soundtrack to many of our lives.
Hell if time travel was possible I would see every PF performance from 67-to like the 80s
Dude i say that all the time and like if u go deep into it ide stand in one spot so i dont ruin any timelines and just listen
one of the best moments in music history
I was there for this - nobody knew it was coming in the audience. A crazy, special moment that I will never forget. Before the gig me and my friends were having a beer the other side of the river, then a private chopper flew over going towards the O2 and landed. My mate said, "I wonder if that Gilmour - haha, no chance!"... always wondered if it actually WAS him, considering we saw him a few hours later!!!
Both David and Roger cruised down the Thames to get to the arena, so it wouldn't have been him in the chopper lol
It's a god damn shame that Roger and Dave can't get along. We are all poorer for their feud.
It's no one's fault that Waters is/was an asshole.
I literally got chills when David appeared up top on the wall. His music is a gift.
Why am I just hearing about this now, this would have been an experience of a lifetime
Been around for a few years. I saw the original concert in Earls Court london many years ago. Shook my world.
@@oldrikky I saw the original in Los Angeles 2/12/80, my birthday!
@@davidmcintier128 what do you mean "original"?
@@ferenckovacsx Pink Floyd originally performed The Wall in London, New York and Los Angeles. The show was very big and expensive, so they only played those three cities. It was spectacular!
I was thinking the same thing Peter
What a treat. How great it is to see these two legends perform together.
Waters knows how to put on a show. The drama in this is next level
roger is a true showman
@@minichols5472 Roger is not perfect, but his "vision" with concepts albums and his top-tier lyrics writing makes him a genius. Seriously, do you know ANY other band with that level of lyrics ? Any ? I don't know any myself. Same for the concepts of their "golden arc" albums, I've listened to many albums, concepts or not, THOSE ones are just like nothing else, far above.
Это нечто. Я выросла на Пинк Флойде. И долго не знала, что они расстались... Может и к лучшему.
Я до сих их слушаю. И не перестаю утверждать, что их творчество на Земле - это то, что останется непревзойденным многие сотни лет.
Низкий им поклон.
Does anyone get goosebumps when they sing together. Amazing
The right question is rather: Who doesn’t get goosebumps listening to this song?
OK, just watched the video 3 times and yep....chills every time , especially when the crowd realizes it is David Gilmour!! And yes, the audiences at Pink Floyd concerts really do sing along like that. You should hear 70,000 people sing Wish You Were Here in perfect unison! That will give you the chills too.
«in perfect unison» Well... That the thing with "crowd singing": it ALWAYS sounds "perfect"... It's been explained scientifically (through gaussian curve...).
This song got me thru a serious illness to full recovery. It’s part of my soul now.
David was the best thing to ever happen to Pink Floyd after Syd was no longer in the band. They may have had their moments that led to disbanding and not being the best of mates, but Gilmour and Waters is as iconic a duo as there ever will be in the history of music!
Don't forget Mason and Wright. The whole band was a "alchemy" accident, a gift from the Cosmos itself.
Tengo 16 años, Hace poco fui a ver a Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill y no puedo describir lo magico que fue, ya vi 2 veces a roger, me encantaria en algun momento verlo a david
Yo tengo 32… fui a verlo a waters a the wall y fui a Gilmour en el hipódromo lo espere 16 años... Un sueño cumplido lo que lloré ese día no tiene nombre.
Bro tengo 15 fui a ver el concierto de This Is Not A Drill un día despues de ver la pelicula de The Wall
Fue la primera vez que vi a Roger Waters y despues de esto me he enamorado de Pink Floyd he oido su musica durante toda la vida pero desde el final del año pasado que me adentré en su musica y me he convertido en todo un fanatico a Pink Floyd
Ojala un día vea a Gilmour también saludos amigo
@@ChiEsp619 sisi es totalmente una locura porque yo los conozco desde chico y a roger lo fui a ver cuando era chico, pero esta ves, en this is not a drill, fue maaaagico, encima ya lo venia escuchando por 1 año porque lo "redescubri" y es lo mejor del mundo
When we arrived in London from Rome to attend the show and realized that David was there the day before we did hope to see him again but did not happened again. Marvelous gig, anyway. Years later I met David outside V&A museum and had the chance to shake his hand. What a thrill
There’s still a love between Roger and David. Only egos get in the way.
Mainly rogers ego. And of course there’s still some love when they’ve been making music since late 60s
there is no love.
It is time for both these senior gentlemen to bury the hatchet. Life is too short and too precious to squander it just like that.
@@DavidK-xn8fq there is no pain, you are receding
@@wilbertjimenez9400 that's the narrative but gilmour still complains about royalties on Animals in interviews, it's definitely both of them holding ill feelings
I had the great fortune to be at Earls Court for the original gigs in August 1980 aged 18. I was able to take my 11 year-old son to this one at the O2 and gave him my previously unworn original tee shirt to wear. I've seen hundreds of gigs over the years and very many have been incredible. The Wall stands out as on an entirely different level.
I was there…..was truly amazing…the reaction to David was the highlight of an incredible show….
I really enjoyed how Roger had his arms extended straight up while looking up at Daivid and the spotlight shining on him. What a great show that must have been. Long live Pink Floyd.
I saw this concert in Paris Stade de France, the best show i've ever seen.
In August 2022, Comfortably Numb has been voted the Greatest Guitar Solo of All Time by listeners to Planet Rock radio in a new poll.
Thousands of votes were cast for the poll, which was an open vote - meaning that any rock song in recorded history was eligible to be included in the countdown.
Once the votes had been counted, David Gilmour's solo for the band's 1979 track Comfortably Numb was named the Greatest Of All Time.
It's easy to see why. Or hear why.
I didn’t know. Thanks for sharing
@Russell White my God!
Yes Gilmours appearance is out of this world and I get that's the main highlight. But no ones mentioned the awesome light sequence when waters smashes the wall. Wow. Floyd and their lighting backdrops have always been out of this world adds a whole extra dimension to the music
i would have passed out seeing David Gilmour. The 2 vocals are amazing. Gilmour on guitar seals the deal for me. amazing!
They consistently have one of the best live shows ever seen. it makes it about a lot more than just the music.
They tell a story
Seeing pink floyd in 94 is one of the highlights of my life
me tooo twice in 94 (UDINE - MODENA). First time in VERONA '89 (ARENA) second time in VENICE '89
Same here, in Germany. My first - and last - PF concert ever.
@@DocSnyders ...hatte das Glück in Mannheim und Frankfurt dabei sein zu dürfen...unvergesslich...
Saw them that year as well. Without Roger of course. Still fantastic.
Same!
The moment David showed up on that wall, I immediately got goosebumps all over my body.
I wish I would be there. I wish damn man. I pray for this night once again in front of me in a concert, the chills the craze, the environment. I pray.
David gilmour filled the blanks.
This is just one of those songs that remember where you were and what you were doing the first time you heard it. REMARKABLE!!!!
Rob Mummery's basement and he said you have to hear this record I found. Fucking blew me away. I was 12 years old and i am going to be 65 in a month and a half.
@@dudenjill1 Yeup!!! You get it!!!!
Nothing beats Gilmour’s solo in Pompeii in 2016 or 18, musically speaking.
This performance is just on another level though. I can’t imagine going to a RW concert and then seeing Gilmour pop up. Incredible.
Nope, Mate. The best version is on Pulse ;)
The best version is on Live 8.
@@lordharry9608la mejor dedicated 🫵🏻🗿
Let's say, Pulse, Pompeii and Live 8 are the best.
This was definitely not the best. Those others were all great.
David and Rogers are living legends 😍🤩❤
True bro
The world id a better place when these two men work together! What a treat! Thanks youtube algorithm.
Never tired to see this performance 11 years later. Thank you again.
The light shining behind Gilmour makes him look like the God that he is.
I think it was very fitting that David Gilmore was on the top of the wall towering over everything and everyone. In my humble opinion he represents the best that humanity can produce he is a gentleman a scholar a artist and a humble generous man. A gift to humanity
His music is a gift.It's amazing that one song can contain two of the greatest guitar solos in rock history
It's amazing that one song can contain two of the greatest guitar solos in rock history. And given the contentious nature of Waters and Gilmour's relationship, that this even happened is incredible.
Worth watching! Whew, the heights David Gilmour will go to for his fans! He's the Best!!
The sheer joy of watching this video just cannot be described.
There are only three of them left. I really wish i could see they perfom together once in my life
I saw them in Edinburgh on the DSOTM Tour,
Set list;
WYWH, the whole of the unreleased album
DSOTM
Encore; Echoes from Meddle
I have seen hundreds of other, concerts, but this is still my favourite!
@petersyme7083 how lucky you are! What year was that...1973?
This is ... This is ...
I have no words ...
This is EPIC appearance!
An exceptional solo by Gilmour executing the part as originally planned.But the Wall as a whole is a tribute to not only to it's players but to it's creator.Writing the music for this piece is beyond the norm,but then putting it to a show/concert in a scale such as this is incredible.Yes,Roger gets under many peoples skin,but his concerts are legendary,as these two were when they performed together.
They both did … don’t forget 1994
@Joe Thanks yeah he kinda butchered it but cant blame him i would've been nervous as all hell
The production of "The Wall-Live in Berlin" the original concert back in July 21, 1990 with the Scorpions, Cyndi Lauper, Thomas Dolby, Sinead O'Conner, Bryan Adams and the rest is legendary. I've never seen a more grandiose concert production like that. It was way ahead of its time.
It was the worst I've ever heard anyone play.
Sends chills down the body every time with Gilmour's voice and solo.
This is so special to me seeing these 2 together again at this time and on my daughters bday! Have a had falling out with her since the plandemic and it was just a reminder of hope to me! God bless you guys Pink Floyd you have been so so so dear to my soul!
You probably fell out with her because you called it the "Plandemic" you idiot.
I remember when this came out and was completely blown away. Watching this in 2022 I have realized after 43 years, nothing else has come close.
Awesome moment when Roger raises his arms to welcome David. Both are shaken to the point that they cannot control their voices properly for a while!! Very emotional performance.
Peace & Love, Brothers ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
I was there - it was electric! When DG appeared! Magical moment!
06:26 this is still one of the beautiest moments in concerts history. Watching this alive I was in deep shock and still wet-eyed again and again watching it in a record.
When Rodger bangs on the wall and it all splits apart? That's just such a beautiful thing. Pink floyd is easily the greatest band of all time, because somehow they preform songs that are decades old and make them new each time! This is true art
Beautifully produced video. One of the very best I have seem on You Tube.
I've seen Roger TWICE since this concert, how have I missed this?! It's 2022!!!
That gave me the most extreme chills that I think I’ve had in a long time the reaction when David stepped out was just legendary and man. His voice is just like the album just an incredible video. I can’t believe it took me this long to find it.
the crowds reaction when they realise that David Gilmour is singing brilliant it's priceless 😂❤
The visuals were awesome but the real heart is the guitar..
Bless David Gilmore✨✨
What a fantastic solo guitar play by the legendary David.
Yes but he butchered the first part very hard 😂😂😂
@@DerdickeSaltoyes and also It sounds a little flat
Worst I've ever heard.
🥸 c'est tellement beau et magnifique Roger/David (Nick était aussi présent ce soir là à l'O2 Arena ! pas moi !) 🥰 continuez à prendre du plaisir chacun d'entre vous dans vos musiques respectives c'est le plus important à mes yeux ! vous êtes dans mon coeur à vie ROGER/DAVID/NICK/❤RICK❤SYD❤ et toute vos teams je leur donne volontiers un ❤😘🥸 ❤PINK FLOYD ❤
Absolutely, positively, never get tired of this.
It's a shame they couldn't get past our differences their music is there music was excellent I'm 69 and I still enjoy listening to them
Been Comfortably Numb so many times listening to Floyd that just the 4 notes of Wish You Were Here or Anybody out-there is enough to send me deeeep down the hole. One of the greatest bands of all time and one of the best songs of all time!
Crying just to see it here. I do not know how it could be possible not to cry being there.
Talk about 2 artists/Geniuses that were made for each other. Still stunning after all these years.
First time seeing this clip, amazing amazing amazing, Pink Floyd fan since DSOTM was released, I’m 64 and love to see them both to put past their differences and come together with Nick Mason and do a concert in memory of Rick Wright and Sid Barrett! I know this probably won’t happen but I have my memories!!
What a privilege! I have been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 15! I cry every time I listen to this masterpiece
Every time I watch ...Gives me goosebumps .... Truly Amazing ... Sad they cant tolerate for a world tour ...
Enjoying this joy of watching a Roger Waters concert I will probably never be able to, but I thank you very much for posting these videos because you are sharing it very satisfying. Thank you.
Jaw-dropping. I can only imagine how it was to be there for this.
Such gifted musicians, incredible writers, awesome music. Still as good today as it was in 1979.
I saw Pink Floyd at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh in 74 on the DSOTM Tour, it was my first concert
First half; the unreleased WYWH
Interval
DSOTM
Encore; Echoes from Meddle
I have been to hundreds of concerts since, this is still the best
I love Roger Waters and his theatrics. I cannot take my eyes off of him, he is so much fun and fascinating to watch. @ 5:06 he goes into a FROZEN STATUE pose as Gilmour makes it EXTRA with his kick ass guitar solo. Brilliant!
This was in 2011. Seeing these two guys together, and performing this song in particular is something rare, to keep in the iris of your eyes. Something like a mirage. Gilmour: Nice to meet you, my name is Guitar! I had the immense pleasure of seeing Waters, solo, in Salvador, Brazil, in 2018, performing it and I just thought it was a fantastic experience! Seeing the two guys then, honestly, it would be almost extrasensorial.
So beautiful brings tears to my glass eyes
THAT must have been quite an experience! Pink Floyd is no more, and never will be. But the fans will keep the enigma alive forever.
That was epic. Bout brought me to tears.
Saw the very first concert February 1980 (and the Sunday show also) in LA. Life changing experience! When the curtains caught fire during "Another Brick in the Wall" my ex wife said "the stage is on fire" and I said "No, the first line to Mother is "Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb, it's part of the show!"" I was obviously in another🤣 world at that point!
Thank you so much david come back brother you and roger rock much love brotha .
