This is a very good review of probably the best guitar solo ever heard! Thank you.Gilmore blows my mind. I’m a 66 year old woman, and listening to his playing, transports me to the stars. I’m guessing, it’s like being high on a drug, but without any drug. I’ve not taken a single recreational drug in my lifetime, but I should image the feeling is the same listening to this glorious solo. Again thank you. Caroline, north London.
I have seen Pink Floyd 4 times. I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know.
Gilmour is the greatest guitarist ever. I've never heard another that makes the guitar sing so u feel it in your bones and sends shivers down your spine.
Well, I got a surprise for you. Try listening to the studio version of the title track from Camel's album Stationary Traveller. First, Spanish guitar, then pan pipes, and then the most soul-piercing Gibson solo ever. You won't regret those five minutes of your life.
@@2869may Your're welcome. But just now I realise I made a little mistake. My post was really ment for Deana DeWall, hence the remark about the surprise, but I must have clidlked the wrong "Reply" button. Well, I think she gets my messaga anyway, so that's two for two concerning Stationary Traveller. I hope you liked it. Also you should listen to "The Snow Goose" and "Nude". Wonderful albums.
This song is too much! 👍🏽 "When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone." 🥺
"The child is grown. The dream is gone." Profound words! As long as David Gilmour can play, I can listen! I don't think he actually plays that solo. He just transfers his soul into the guitar and the mystical life within the instrument takes over!
No such thing as a "soul". If you contend that I'm wrong, please enlighten me as to its location in the human body, its weight (it ain't 21 grams lol), its circumference, etc.
@@oscarwilde6649 You're not exactly a romantic are you! Obviously never read 'Soul Music'. Perhaps I should have said 'heart and soul', I wasn't proffering some sort of idealogical religious clap-trap.

I played drums nearly 27 years from young man around 10 in 80s early til 05,..then a couple sit in gigs. I moved after Katrina hurricane lost everything. I wound up returning to music teaching my son keys and Guitar as I knew only a little of each. Then when he moved and grad in 2017 I took a year to realize I needed that sound. I bought a strat. Thanks to David Gilmour and my son I had to. I went in passionate in mid 2018. Been playing ever since.
Les Paul created one of the best guitars ever. David Gilmore gave that guitar a heart and soul. David is in a league of his own. The emotions he produces with musical notes is unparalleled. His voice is amazing even at this age. But his fingers produce what really touches the heart. Truly magnificent.
That's probably the best analogy of David's style I've ever read. Well put! He is technically the best I've ever seen, such precision and flawless. I've played acoustic for over 42 years, not professionally but for the love of it. Watching David is such a gift. And the way he plays, just watching it, the difficulty level is unattainable. Sure you could play the chords, and learn the song. But only he knows how to get the sound he produces. A pure Magician!
Gilmore must have known something about physiological responses to certain tonalities and rhythms when he composed those two guitar solos. Even as a former guitarist, (broken hand last October has left behind nerve damage 😢), playing this masterpiece would leave me shaken. No, I was not a virtuoso, but technically, this song is accessible to an experienced intermediate level guitarist (I played for 60 years before I got hurt). I'm delighted that you mentioned the drummer as well, he looked like he was about to levitate straight to heaven during this monument to all music!! 😇😁🤓
Wow - First standing ovation I've seen by Harri. Almost hypnotic that guitar. You're in for a real treat as you dig deeper. Can't wait til you hit Animals !
Not very many songs In my lifetime of rock and roll, Have made me weep The way this does, David Gilmore's Music is like The music of angels. I am 70 years old and I and I still get emotional, God speed to David Gilmore☮☮☮
The look in the eyes of the drummer and his constant smile says "man, I cant believe that I get paid for that. I would here and now play that song even if I would know, that playin' today means passin' by tomorrow" What an extraordinary experience these people had, listening to David in the Theater of Pompeii. Wish I was there. The music was written by David long beore The Wall, and the autobiographic lyrics came from Roger.
Congrtulations on over 70K Subscribers and I was one of the first so Well Done and fully deserved, my friend. You do realise though that this very song at LIVE PULSE is considered by many, as THE perfect combination of Music and Light Show, especially in the second part of the song and if you don't react to that, as well, PLEASE watch it asap and keep your eyes open for the last 5 minutes of the accompanying lights but THAT is the version that nearly everyone reacts to LIVE as it is considered supreme from 2009. ENJOY ! from London.
Magnificent. To my mind, and I'm 72, this is probably the finest performance ever. I've seen them all from Led Zeppelin to the Stones to the Eagles and Dylan and BB King and Dire Straits and Rodger Waters, Clapton etc etc. Nothing touches this. .
I used to date a guy who was in the Army, stationed in Germany and went AWOL to go to their concert over there! He never regretted it! Can you imagine??!!!😜❤️🔥
I was fortunate enough to see David Gilmour on this tour. He was showcasing his new album at the time, 'Rattle That Lock' (which I also enjoy) but the Pink Floyd classics are just on another level. He was 70 years old in 2016 and as you can tell, he still sounds amazing! The bass player in this concert, Guy Pratt, is the same player as in the Pulse concerts with Pink Floyd (he was only in his 30s back then. I think it's cool that he continues to perform with the members of Pink Floyd on their solo ventures). If you want to react to more of David Gilmour's solo shows, I suggest checking out the song 'In Any Tongue,' also from this David Gilmour Pompeii concert or 'On An Island' featuring Crosby and Nash (from 2006).
Pratt (that clown) was on delcate sound of thunder six years Prior to the idiotic release pulse. Having only done ONE studio album after delicate, pulse was only a cash in. Because of that it angende me and I never bought it, but listened to delicate a lot since the day of its release in 1988. Pratt was a lot younger on delicate and married Wright`s daughter.
I saw this tour as well at a small theater in the middle of the week between the two big arena Chicago shows. It was an old venue with only 3000 people and it was one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen.
I’m a deaf bassist and I was fortunate enough to play this song on stage with a top notch band and, let me tell you, it was an otherworldly experience. I enjoy playing it as much as I enjoy listening to it.
You summed up the playing of David Gilmour better than anyone else I have ever heard describe him. 'There's no note wasted and every thing is there for a purpose.'.....perfectly put Harri. Great reaction to a legendary guitarist and song.
He has said that he knew he would never be the fastest guitar player so he figured out that he would have to touch you in a different way. From meddle on I have loved the music he produces. I was fortunate enough to see pink floyd in Munich in 1977. They played, wish you were here, animals and a lot of dark side of the moon for an encore. When I listen to Floyd it's like I don't hear the music or lyrics. For me it's like I'm receiving everything telepathically. I feel ever word and note, I experience it more than just hearing.
You will enjoy too Pink Floyd Echoes - live in Pompejii 1972 first: the peak of Floyds Work, then in Gdansk (Last one before Rick Wrights dead) Marooned Sorrow - A Delicate Sound of Thunder or Pulse Comfortably Numb - live in Venedig ❣️ Comfortably Numb - live Aid Reunion, Stress of all this years in stage turned to a short but breath taking version Comfortably Numb - remember that night with David Bowie Money - live Aid Reunion On the turning away - Delicate Sound of Thunder Gilmour In an tongue - Pompejii Faces of Stone - Pompejii Fat old sun - live in Gdansk or BBC
I saw an interview on TV with an American musician and he swore Gilmour was among the best guitarists ever and one of the reasons was that he did not fill every note with sound. He said that most musicians were frightened of leaving spaces in their music and Gilmour regularly leaves whole note size spaces in his music in the knowledge that the mind will use that space and fill it in. It also allows room for all the musical layers provided by the other musicians.
Biggest like I can ❣️ Feel so much the same, every note is soul and emotional body food... 🙏 The drummer really once said in an Interview something like that every time he plays with Gilmour he is the luckiest guy in earth, its better then winning the jackpot of a lottery 😁😁
Remember, Hari, PF does albums, not songs. This is part of "The Wall". It means that "pink" (Roger Waters who wrote the lyrics based somewhat on his life) has successfully shut out the world and all feelings, all hurt, all pain--and what comes with all that shut down is no feeling of joy, love, etc. Thanks for the great music you provide.
i turned 75 last month and played in local 'bar bands' for several decades. this song grabs me more deeply with each fleeting year. gives my rusting carcass purpose to persevere. you hit it harri. nice that you block your commentary rather than cutting in every 8 bars or so. let the feel force flow. forever.
The guy with the grey beard is Chuck Leavall, longtime Rolling Stones keyboard player. Unreal musician, with the perfect voice for his part here! Great reaction to a bunch of old legends🤘
“It’s a shame we all have to die one day and it’s moments like this that make you want to live forever”. Truth. This version of this song is what I want playing at my funeral. Both this and the Pulse concert versions are brilliant, but this just has a more frenetic, raw quality for me and I love it.
My 2 favorite guitarists are David Gilmour and Buckethead. Completely different musicians, but both are the best at what they do with electric guitar. TOOL is Pink Floyd for the new millennium. Pink Floyd - Rush - TOOL RIP Rick Wright RIP Syd Barrett Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
David Gilmour on his own as Roger left band and sadly the keyboardist Richard Wright who normally spoke the beginning verses of the song had passed . David did not think he could do this song without Richard to his left but this song is so popular so he had a friend read the words out.. David is my favorite guitarist but I think he is also a great singer also underated. This is one of the top 10 most popular song worldwide and the fans love it.
I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd since 69. This is one song that gets me every time I hear it. 2nd solo when David hits that high note towards the end. You know what I mean.✌️
Just listened to some songs of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour solo. A new one (2020) from David Gilmour is "yes I have ghosts". Really beautiful, you should try it someday, thanks.
Hi Harri, Don't ever apologize for going on too long. As you said about David Gilmour, every note he plays is meaningful, so is every word you speak... I love you! - Brooklyn Mike
I always thought it was about a rock star suffering pre-gig nerves. The band manager, dealer if you like, gives him a shot of smack or something to get him through the show. Hence, he’s feeling no pain now. Actually I once saw a video of David Bowie performing somewhere on a large stage and he was clearly on a different planet. His face was blank but he sang all the songs well and performed well. He was just ‘comfortably numb.’ I never saw it as anything but and I have loved and adored this Pink Floyd song since it first came out. I recall in 1978 listening to Comfortably Numb in my lounge room in Port Moresby PNG. I was with my great friend Michelle and we lay on our backs with the stereo cranked up to eleven. My Kef Concerto speakers moved enough air for a storm and we were pissed out of our heads. It was one of those fabulous moments that you never forget. Our ears rang for days afterwards but we loved it. I cherish that memory, among many others. I’m a lucky man !
I saw Floyd without Waters. The concert was a sensory explosion and one that I revisit whenever I hear this song. David has two voices, one vocally and the other is his guitar. Harri, Thanks for sharing this today. You continue to give my favorite reactions. ✌️
The bleeding heart of the band is Sir Roger Waters, a Genius human, David is pure soul and my master, Richard came to the Earth from the infinite cosmos and Nick is presicion , a wonderful drummer. The Unique band of this Universe.
I have recently discovered your channel. You are now my favorite reaction person, and I have a number of reaction channels I frequent. Your insightful comments and the ability to articulate your feelings are rare. I am duly impressed. Few UA-camrs possess these abilities. Pink Floyd has been my favorite band going back to the days of Syd Barrett. "Dark Side of the Moon" is the most iconic album ever with "The Wall" not far behind. "Ummagumma " was the album when they were really developing their sound after the departure of Syd. They are an album oriented band and therefore you need to listen to the entire album in order to capture the entire message. And besides, we share the same name! Lol
David Gilmore , possibly the greatest guitarist ever , and I’m including Hendrix, etc etc etc Britain has been gifted with great artists , bands etc I’m not taking anything away from the USA but WOW
There are several videos in different venues of this song. Congratulations on choosing the best with this Pompeii performance. I have always gotten a kick out of watching the drummer who is bathing in the moment and in his unadulterated joy of performing with the legend Mr. Gilmore.
This is a very good review of probably the best guitar solo ever heard! Thank you.Gilmore blows my mind. I’m a 66 year old woman, and listening to his playing, transports me to the stars.

David Gilmour will forever be my favorite guitarist. He makes his guitar sing and bleed soul.

Most of his guitars were not tuned to the normal sounds. This made him legendary.

This is what you call a MASTERPIECE. Simply as that.

This song is too much! 👍🏽 "When I was a child

That second solo could go on forever, I wouldn't mind, cause it's wicked, insanely good 🎸🔥. David Gilmour is up there. Wonderful reaction, Harri 👏
You said it man! Every note isn't wasted, he takes his time he perfectly matches emotion with sound!
Man, Harri, what a perfect reaction. Gilmour channels his emotions through a guitar like no one else. Thank you.
What a remarkable musician is Gilmour. His chops are truly god like, and irrespective of what version one hears, he always delivers.
I've soooo fortunate to have seen Pink Floyd twice. There's nothing like being there. 🔥🔥🔥👍😎
You can so hear the crowd singing in the background. Chillingly cool.

He’s never been one to play wild, fast solos. He’s more rhythmic, and precise.
He is one of a kind, and sits above the rest.

That guitar sold at auction for $4,100,000. Additionally, if you noticed his guitar strap. X X X X X X that was a gift from the widow of Jimi Hendrix.

The music was written by David long beore The Wall, and the autobiographic lyrics came from Roger.
I’ve seen him several times in concert he never disappoints he can literally make the guitar weep
This was stunning! Absolutely beautiful!

Only true musicians compose with silences - they understand the most fundamental principle of life: breathing.

David is my favorite guitarist but I think he is also a great singer also underated. This is one of the top 10 most popular song worldwide and the fans love it.
I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd since 69. This is one song that gets me every time I hear it. 2nd solo when David hits that high note towards the end. You know what I mean.✌️
69 or 79( is when the wall was released)
I feel the same way. Masterpiece
He is definitely up there.
Just listened to some songs of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour solo. A new one (2020) from David Gilmour is "yes I have ghosts". Really beautiful, you should try it someday, thanks.
Hi Harri, Don't ever apologize for going on too long. As you said about David Gilmour, every note he plays is meaningful, so is every word you speak... I love you! - Brooklyn Mike
Sending you lots of love and THANK YOU🖤✌🏾
Totally agree. Must be my last dying wish to hear this over and over 💕 it’s my all time favorite song
I always thought it was about a rock star suffering pre-gig nerves. The band manager, dealer if you like, gives him a shot of smack or something to get him through the show. Hence, he’s feeling no pain now. Actually I once saw a video of David Bowie performing somewhere on a large stage and he was clearly on a different planet. His face was blank but he sang all the songs well and performed well. He was just ‘comfortably numb.’ I never saw it as anything but and I have loved and adored this Pink Floyd song since it first came out. I recall in 1978 listening to Comfortably Numb in my lounge room in Port Moresby PNG. I was with my great friend Michelle and we lay on our backs with the stereo cranked up to eleven. My Kef Concerto speakers moved enough air for a storm and we were pissed out of our heads. It was one of those fabulous moments that you never forget. Our ears rang for days afterwards but we loved it. I cherish that memory, among many others. I’m a lucky man !
The message......my take away is in the beautiful, masterful lyric, "the child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb." 🤓
He’s a story teller….with his words and his guitar
I saw Floyd without Waters. The concert was a sensory explosion and one that I revisit whenever I hear this song. David has two voices, one vocally and the other is his guitar. Harri, Thanks for sharing this today. You continue to give my favorite reactions. ✌️
Most artists or groups you can pigeon hole - rock, blues, grunge, jazz etc. Pink Floyd is just simply Pink Floyd not comparable to anyone else
The bleeding heart of the band is Sir Roger Waters, a Genius human, David is pure soul and my master, Richard came to the Earth from the infinite cosmos and Nick is presicion , a wonderful drummer.
The Unique band of this Universe.
I have recently discovered your channel. You are now my favorite reaction person, and I have a number of reaction channels I frequent. Your insightful comments and the ability to articulate your feelings are rare. I am duly impressed. Few UA-camrs possess these abilities.
Pink Floyd has been my favorite band going back to the days of Syd Barrett. "Dark Side of the Moon" is the most iconic album ever with "The Wall" not far behind. "Ummagumma " was the album when they were really developing their sound after the departure of Syd. They are an album oriented band and therefore you need to listen to the entire album in order to capture the entire message.
And besides, we share the same name! Lol
Thank you Harry.i am greatly flattered.You cant go wrong with that name 😁🤣
Legend has it, when guitar's were asked what they wanted for Christmas.
They all said.... "Dave Gilmore"
All of Gilmour's solos tell a story.
David Gilmore , possibly the greatest guitarist ever , and I’m including Hendrix, etc etc etc
Britain has been gifted with great artists , bands etc I’m not taking anything away from the USA but WOW
There are several videos in different venues of this song. Congratulations on choosing the best with this Pompeii performance. I have always gotten a kick out of watching the drummer who is bathing in the moment and in his unadulterated joy of performing with the legend Mr. Gilmore.
