Dudes, dudes...you simply must react to this song at the Pulse Concert live...David Gilmour, the band were just at their apex...the guitar solo, the light show...just incredible
The Pulse concert is a must for a live version of this song. Not only do they sound wonderful, but the light show they had going during the song was amazing in itself. David Gilmour's solos are out of this world.
Everytime I hear this song I alternatingly want to weep and laugh. After almost 43 years I've come to regard it as a 'prayer' of sorts, a 'liturgy' in some sense. It is imperative that I experience Comfortably Numb at least once a week, with earphones.
such an intense song ! and the solo, EPIC ! i had this same 'balloon hands' when i was 8 yrs old with the flu and 103 fever. my hands felt large, tingly, fuzzy and i couldn't put them together . (like magnets) i am 60 yrs old and still remember this experience vividly
I get not reacting to a song for the first time live, that the studio version is better, but, this is the exception. The Pulse concert performance is (in my biased opinion) the best live performance of a song ever. As for the solo live… you’ll see why it should be this version.
I always want to hear studio first with a few exceptions, Bob Seger Live Bullet Band for instance. It's when the creators felt it was the absolute best.
I'm a rare person that got to see the original Wall shows in 1980. Pink Floyd only performed The Wall tour in three cities in 1980, L.A, NYC, & London. I went to one of the shows in Los Angeles, February 1980. Greatest concert I've ever attended.
I've never quite understood why this song seem to evoke so much emotion in the listener! I have seen many break down into tears after the song! And I will admit, it does me that way!
The thing that is so damn clever about Pink Floyd is that even after hearing the songs hundreds of times, everytime feels like the first time of hearing for me. So layered and complex.
This song is even better when you listen to it along with the whole album The album is mind blowing, my dad brought it home when I was 10 yrs old and I couldn’t believe what I was listening to even at that age
I've listened to the entire album so many times, it's hard for me to hear a lot of these tracks out of the context of the album, but it is just so brilliant.
So, as the designated old guy, when I went to college at WKU (Western Kentucky University), there were quarterly Pink Floyd laser-light shows at their Planetarium. You'd get there 30 minutes before sunset; get a comfy-reclining chair with your favorite mind-altering substance, watch a virtual setting of the sun and 5 minutes of education about the night sky and then it would kick in to either Darkside of the Moon, or the Wall. It would include music generated laser-light show, (state of the art during 1979/1980-ish). My preference was DSotM, but Comfortably Numb was great to watch. You then stumbled out and went to a club because it was still early. It was an event that even eclipsed going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Laser Floyd was Awesome! 🙌🏼😁 I too, thoroughly enjoyed those shows, & the mind altering substances 🍃 of the 70's & 80's paired perfectly with Pink Floyd. 😂
I graduated from high school in 1980, we picked "The Wall" for our senior song. When the printed programs came, and the teachers saw the lyrics to the song, they made us glue the pages together so that no one could see it at graduation. Kind of proved the message of the song.
About David Gilmour's guitar solos. Many years ago I read in a guitar magazine that David Gilmour is deemed the Undisputed Dean of the Compound Bend. He admits he never was a fast playing guitarist. His solo's aren't necessarily difficult. But his note placement is pretty much flawless. Pink Floyd is my favorite and always will be. And this is my favorite song of all time. Now to your reaction on it. Thank you for actually reacting to it with insight instead of listening and saying, "Well, that was good."
I just remember we were all stoned & sitting around chilling, listening to all these LONG songs & drift away! I don’t miss the “stoned” days but I sure miss those good ol’ days!! Memories of many long gone…until we meet again!! ❤️💔
i remember being sick as a child and beng out of my mind with pain. I was given Demoral and had the trip of a lifetime. I identify with Comfortable Numb in a very personal way.
Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 has one of the David's most iconic solos ever, along with Comfortably Numb and Time. Other songs with face melting solos worthy of checking out are On The Turning Away, Have A Cigar, and Money. Some live performances are also iconic, such as Sorrow and Learning to Fly from PULSE (the latter being played by Tim Renwick, the guitar player on Life in Dark Water by Al Stewart). Another Brick in the Wall from the same concert is also amazing, with both a CD and a DVD version. Then we have the two long masterpieces that are Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Echoes.
ua-cam.com/video/MzypeYQrv5U/v-deo.htmlsi=hpEvxSPhZ0yzHESi Above is the link to a cover version of the guitar solo from "Comfortably Numb" by Kent Nishimura, a 20 year old solo acoustic guitar fingerstyle prodigy. This was a rare time where Kent did not perform an entire version of the song with a guitar arrangement and without other instruments. It's near impossible to match the genius guitar work of David Gilmour, but Kent is a talented musician nonetheless.
This song is IMO Pink Floyd's best. I love the way that Roger sings the downbeat verse and Dave sings the uplifting chorus (and did that amazing guitar solo) - the contrast between the two singers' voices and styles is perfect for the song. The Wall was largely self-therapy by Waters, who had never fully gotten over his father dying in World War II when Roger was a young boy.
Plus, seek out the film, with Bob Geldof playing Pink. Once, while listening to this track, I "felt" myself "leave" my body, a truly unsettling, but, dreamy experience, which strangely tasted divine, too.
I used to jam to the album on my flute as a teen. Nailed the guitar solo on this piece note for note. Of course, on a flute, embellishing with runs and trills is acceptable, which made this one a real treat. Running quarter time runs in each arpeggio was a real workout! Good times.
One of my favorites...the entire song is like an ebb and flow, the instruments are a rhythmic come and go...it's the line you're only coming thru in waves...the music is doing that the entire time. Love it!
Some of the shimmer is a "high-strung" acoustic guitar, which is basically a 12-string with the lower, wound strings removed, leaving only the thin, higher-tuned strings to be the first ones struck on the downstroke. Brilliant work.
I was 17 when I saw them at Madison Square Garden back in the late sixties/early seventies, and I was feeling "comfortably numb" & they were beyond amazing. One of the best concerts I've gone to & I saw a lot of great bands.
I saw this performed live on the Division Bell Tour at Texas Stadium in April of 1994. It had just begun to lightly rain, and the laser lights going through the mist as they played and sang was a sight to see; one that I won't ever forget. Very surreal. Almost like church. I was only 23. Excellent reaction.
I think it was wise to start with the original song rather than the live version. Many of the reactions on UA-cam start with the live version. But it was this version that dominated rock radio back in the day. We heard this song over and over and over again, and it's one of those classic songs you never tire of. In fact, I think the best of the classic rock of this period is going to survive long past the boomer generations. I think it stands with some of the greatest music in history- Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. Add the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd to the list.
Once I had a dream that I was walking in the woods and saw this really goofy looking bird sitting on a fence or something. It looked at me and starting making this regular repeated squawk...It was the alarm going off...
Pink Floyd in Hockenheim Germany on The Division Bell tour is and probably will continue to be the the most musicaly perfect concert I've attended..... Absolutely stunning show from start to finish 🖤🖤
Michael Kamen was also co-credited with Eric Clapton on the EP of music from the BBC series 'Edge of Darkness,' one of the best drama series of all time. Although I can't find mention on IMDB. I remember seeing the credits on the cassette tape (C1983/4 for filming, 1985 transmitted, first on BBC2, then within months repeated on BBC1) Bob Peck, Joe Don Baker et. al.
Great reaction and review, guys. David Gilmour's guitar work almost always serves the song, and never sounds like "time for the required solo." He creates melody that ties to the song, and one can't imagine the composition not having what he creates. He's a true artist, as well as the other members of the band are or were.
Such an amazing, amazing song always brings a tear to my eye with the imagery this produces and the arrangement of it. C'est magnifique! 💯✌️🙌 Also makes me feel immensely sad as it reminds me of my late uncle who passed on last year... More of a father figure to me than my own dad was 😢 Great reaction as usual! Definitely react to more of their songs!
There is no band that compares to Pink Floyd. You'll love the album Animals! Listen to it in it's entirety.. it'll be one of the best experiences of your life. If you're not already in a head change, you will be after riding this album! Love you guys! You are the best music reactors on YT❤️ HAPPY 4TH!
The Pulse version is so crazy you should react on it... And I was there (don't say I'm old, please!)... The David Gilmour guitar solo is long and completely amazing, he's not just a performer, he's mainly a story teller, the best guitar solo ever... Pink Floyd is my favorite band, but I'm a real fan of bands from UK in the 70's, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Genesis with Peter Gabriel... And David Bowie, of course... More and more, the UK is the land of big music anyway, you have so much to discover and have real pleasure... Pink Floyd is the band you must listen to the entire albums because most of them have no pause, everything is unchained and it's crazy... The Wall is also a movie, you should watch it with a very good sound, it's a kind of Roger Water's life, some pieces come from his life... My favorite one is "Atom Heart Mother" but it's special, "Meddle" is amazing too... In fact, every album is crazy... Thanks for your reaction, you're young but you like music, love from France 🇫🇷😘
I always thought they were talking about life on the road. It’s a hard life. You live separate from the rest of humanity. Your lifestyle is sleeping during the day and living at night. You get sick on the road, but the show must go on. The doctor is giving them something to make it through the night’s performance.
Nice reaction guys and thank you for pointing out the orchestral arrangement. All the best from the far north of New Zealand and hey, you'll absolutely love the PULSE concert version of this masterpiece, so much going on!
After doing the 1994 Pulse concert version of this, strap in and do SORROW from the same concert. My favorite. Every song from their 1994 Pulse concert is amazing! LEARNING TO FLY TIME HIGH HOPES COMING BACK TO LIFE RUN LIKE HELL and SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND. Great reaction guys!!!
It's amazing that, after so many decades, I finally realized he was describing the exact same feeling I used to get as a child when I had a high fever and I, too, had that feeling once again as an adult about 4 years ago. I am now 58. As for this album, I was 16 when it came out and a radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area played it all the way through as Roger Waters(?) sat in the studio, explaining what every song meant. This interview went on for about 3 or 4 hours as I laid on my bedroom floor, listening all the way though. This was the ONLY album ever made that I considered as my favorite album of all time that is not a Boston album. So that said, I would have to put it at #3 or #4. The radio station could have been KRQR or KOME. Not sure which. "Don't touch that dial, you've got KOME on it!". Yes, they actually said that.
I hope you guys will check out Echoes LIVE in Pompeii!! The video with the guys in an amphitheater in Pompeii. No audience, shirtless . 1972 before Dark Side !! Freaking awesome 😎
Wow, so once, again you taught me something i should have known a long time ago. I have heard this song so many times... But i never knew what it was called. So i thought i was going to the reaction blind. Nope i know the song. Not only that, i don't know how many times i have sang that "Hello, is anybody in there" to my friends and family if they are not listening to me. 😂 Gotta be in the mood to listen to it. They have great talent! Brick in the Wall is on my playlist. And always interesting to hear the background of the song.
The Albert hall show on pulse is the greatest solo by anyone ever. The pulse live version actually cut out 2 minutes of the second solo… WTF for?! You can find it on you tube. I cry every time I hear it.
Pulse is great. That being said, I think the studio version should always be heard first. That's the way we heard it when these songs first came out. I saw them live three times in the 80's. There is nothing like it.
I think you're absolutely correct to listen to the studio version first, even here. As great as the Pulse version is, and it is amazingly great, hearing it after the studio version will enhance the experience even more! Great review!
Seen this song branded about for many years but first time I have listened to it in full.Only other song I've heard is Another brick in the wall.Very enjoyable to hear and found out why this group is mentioned in same breath as ELO.....quite similar vocals.good stuff.
Gentleman it was phenomenal in concert. I witnessed one of the most amazing concerts ever, Pink Floyd in Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City May 26 1988. It was 2 hours and 40 minutes and wasn’t long enough. Thanks for a great July 4th reaction.
I keep telling y'all that music from my day is better than from your day. I was a sophomore in high school when this album was released. What was released when y'all were sophs?
Popped forward a year in blink of an eye. Enjoyed your last and this one too. You three have acute insight. The future looks brighter. I'll try and Time travel again and see what else you're doing in the future ....?🤔 👍

Dudes, dudes...you simply must react to this song at the Pulse Concert live...David Gilmour, the band were just at their apex...the guitar solo, the light show...just incredible
The best version of this classic song. Yes, I have seen this song live twice with Floyd, it is that good.
ABSOLUTELY, A MUST !!!!
👍
You really must watch the pulse concert. It will blow your mind.
@@rosemarywoolley8394 If they performed it at Pulse, I don't even bother with a studio version of that particular song
I saw Pink Floyd in 1994 on the Division Bell tour. My parents got me tix for my 19th birthday. Possibly the best concert I've ever seen.
I saw them the next year at Clemson University, SC.
The Pulse concert is a must for a live version of this song. Not only do they sound wonderful, but the light show they had going during the song was amazing in itself. David Gilmour's solos are out of this world.
Yeah, he added a wail to his last solo that made it even better, hard as that is to believe.
Couldn’t agree more. The whole concert is a masterpiece.
The production was basically given a blank check for the 1994 tour.
The live version comments are legit, guys! The PULSE version includes all the greatness of the original and just heaps more greatness into it!!!
It’s that reaction at 15:19 from the guy in the middle that basically just says, “this is the greatest sound I will ever hear as long as I live.”
Everytime I hear this song I alternatingly want to weep and laugh. After almost 43 years I've come to regard it as a 'prayer' of sorts, a 'liturgy' in some sense. It is imperative that I experience Comfortably Numb at least once a week, with earphones.
Absolutely... There are times I have to listen to it every day!!!
"regard it as a prayer" Love this comment!
such an intense song ! and the solo, EPIC ! i had this same 'balloon hands' when i was 8 yrs old with the flu and 103 fever. my hands felt large, tingly, fuzzy and i couldn't put them together . (like magnets) i am 60 yrs old and still remember this experience vividly
I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd twice in concert, and both were a feast for the eyes and ears. Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas.
I get not reacting to a song for the first time live, that the studio version is better, but, this is the exception. The Pulse concert performance is (in my biased opinion) the best live performance of a song ever. As for the solo live… you’ll see why it should be this version.
*Spot on Louise.*
I always want to hear studio first with a few exceptions, Bob Seger Live Bullet Band for instance. It's when the creators felt it was the absolute best.
This album came out when I started high school. What a wonderful time to be alive. We had the best music. This album is a masterpiece ✌️and❤️
Yesssss me too
I'm a rare person that got to see the original Wall shows in 1980. Pink Floyd only performed The Wall tour in three cities in 1980, L.A, NYC, & London. I went to one of the shows in Los Angeles, February 1980. Greatest concert I've ever attended.
The 'doctor' is a 'doctor feel-good'. He's pushing HEROINE on the character and he's now 'comfortably numb'.
Out of the hundreds of concerts I was able to attend, Pink Floyd The Wall at the LA Sports Arena in February of 1980 would have to be the pinnacle.
I've never quite understood why this song seem to evoke so much emotion in the listener! I have seen many break down into tears after the song! And I will admit, it does me that way!
Pink Floyd are bloody superb! This song is an absolute masterpiece, nice one chaps good choice!
I had experiences like that when I was young...
My hands felt puffy and expanded...
Balloon like...
Had multiple dreams of this...
One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd, One experiences them!
The thing that is so damn clever about Pink Floyd is that even after hearing the songs hundreds of times, everytime feels like the first time of hearing for me. So layered and complex.
I agree completely
This is also a movie. No words can describe. Wish you were here is another song you give a listen.
Arguably one the best solos that soars and transcends like few others. Enjoyed the breakdown.
This song is even better when you listen to it along with the whole album
The album is mind blowing, my dad brought it home when I was 10 yrs old and I couldn’t believe what I was listening to even at that age
I've listened to the entire album so many times, it's hard for me to hear a lot of these tracks out of the context of the album, but it is just so brilliant.

Laser Floyd was Awesome! 🙌🏼😁
I too, thoroughly enjoyed those shows, & the mind altering substances 🍃 of the 70's & 80's paired perfectly with Pink Floyd. 😂
Pink Floyd has such a uniqueness, it's hard not to at least appreciate them. My top 3 band of all time.
I graduated from high school in 1980, we picked "The Wall" for our senior song. When the printed programs came, and the teachers saw the lyrics to the song, they made us glue the pages together so that no one could see it at graduation. Kind of proved the message of the song.
Roger Waters explained that the song is not about education. Read his interview with the New York Times.
Seeing this performed live was absolutely amazing
About David Gilmour's guitar solos. Many years ago I read in a guitar magazine that David Gilmour is deemed the Undisputed Dean of the Compound Bend. He admits he never was a fast playing guitarist. His solo's aren't necessarily difficult. But his note placement is pretty much flawless. Pink Floyd is my favorite and always will be. And this is my favorite song of all time. Now to your reaction on it. Thank you for actually reacting to it with insight instead of listening and saying, "Well, that was good."
No song deserves applause more than
Comfortably Numb. Others do, but Comfortably Numb draws it out of you with it's brilliance.
I just remember we were all stoned & sitting around chilling, listening to all these LONG songs & drift away! I don’t miss the “stoned” days but I sure miss those good ol’ days!! Memories of many long gone…until we meet again!! ❤️💔
i remember being sick as a child and beng out of my mind with pain. I was given Demoral and had the trip of a lifetime. I identify with Comfortable Numb in a very personal way.

Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 has one of the David's most iconic solos ever, along with Comfortably Numb and Time. Other songs with face melting solos worthy of checking out are On The Turning Away, Have A Cigar, and Money. Some live performances are also iconic, such as Sorrow and Learning to Fly from PULSE (the latter being played by Tim Renwick, the guitar player on Life in Dark Water by Al Stewart). Another Brick in the Wall from the same concert is also amazing, with both a CD and a DVD version. Then we have the two long masterpieces that are Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Echoes.
This guitar solo speaks and makes you feel more than a million voices ever could. This and Stairway to heaven have just that something that is special

Above is the link to a cover version of the guitar solo from "Comfortably Numb" by Kent Nishimura, a 20 year old solo acoustic guitar fingerstyle prodigy. This was a rare time where Kent did not perform an entire version of the song with a guitar arrangement and without other instruments. It's near impossible to match the genius guitar work of David Gilmour, but Kent is a talented musician nonetheless.
This song is IMO Pink Floyd's best.

Love how the three of you were nodding when he asks “just nod if you can hear me”
😎😎😎 Great choice ✌🏼🎧
Plus, seek out the film, with Bob Geldof playing Pink.
Once, while listening to this track, I "felt" myself "leave" my body, a truly unsettling, but, dreamy experience, which strangely tasted divine, too.
I used to jam to the album on my flute as a teen. Nailed the guitar solo on this piece note for note. Of course, on a flute, embellishing with runs and trills is acceptable, which made this one a real treat. Running quarter time runs in each arpeggio was a real workout! Good times.
What a great memory! Hope you still play…..
You guys need to look at a live performance of this song....you will enjoy it even more...Pink Floyd forever
One of my favorites...the entire song is like an ebb and flow, the instruments are a rhythmic come and go...it's the line you're only coming thru in waves...the music is doing that the entire time. Love it!
Some of the shimmer is a "high-strung" acoustic guitar, which is basically a 12-string with the lower, wound strings removed, leaving only the thin, higher-tuned strings to be the first ones struck on the downstroke. Brilliant work.
This song always makes me emotional.
I was 17 when I saw them at Madison Square Garden back in the late sixties/early seventies, and I was feeling "comfortably numb" & they were beyond amazing. One of the best concerts I've gone to & I saw a lot of great bands.
I saw this performed live on the Division Bell Tour at Texas Stadium in April of 1994.

I can't agree as the surprise element of that incredible guitar solo will be lost now,my friend.
Once I had a dream that I was walking in the woods and saw this really goofy looking bird sitting on a fence or something. It looked at me and starting making this regular repeated squawk...It was the alarm going off...
Greetings from across the pond. Been binge watching your vids over the last few days, good stuff. If you are ever in the UK I'll get you a pint
In the 60-70's most of us stayed "comfortably numb".
Those were the days 🙂
The SUPER 70S!
Now you know w most of us 70s folks were so laid back! Ha ha
You guys have got to react to "echoes " by Pink Floyd, specifically the live at Pompeii version
Pink Floyd in Hockenheim Germany on The Division Bell tour is and probably will continue to be the the most musicaly perfect concert I've attended..... Absolutely stunning show from start to finish 🖤🖤
COMFORTABLY NUMB PULSE LIVE!

Guys, the founder of Pink Floyd was SYD BARRETT. You better check it out, because it might blow Your mind. Greetings from Italy.
Great song!
Great reaction and review, guys. David Gilmour's guitar work almost always serves the song, and never sounds like "time for the required solo." He creates melody that ties to the song, and one can't imagine the composition not having what he creates. He's a true artist, as well as the other members of the band are or were.
I think this is definitely contender for greatest rock solos of all time. It is literally magic.
Such an amazing, amazing song always brings a tear to my eye with the imagery this produces and the arrangement of it. C'est magnifique! 💯✌️🙌 Also makes me feel immensely sad as it reminds me of my late uncle who passed on last year... More of a father figure to me than my own dad was 😢
Great reaction as usual! Definitely react to more of their songs!
There is no band that compares to Pink Floyd. You'll love the album Animals! Listen to it in it's entirety.. it'll be one of the best experiences of your life. If you're not already in a head change, you will be after riding this album! Love you guys! You are the best music reactors on YT❤️ HAPPY 4TH!
Pigs. Three Different Ones.
Yes!! Animals is an amazing album. If I were forced to pick a favorite that would be it.
There is a feature film based on this album... It is fucking brilliant! A must see after you've heard the whole album.
Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse!
Did anybody mention Pulse?
The Pulse version is so crazy you should react on it... And I was there (don't say I'm old, please!)... The David Gilmour guitar solo is long and completely amazing, he's not just a performer, he's mainly a story teller, the best guitar solo ever... Pink Floyd is my favorite band, but I'm a real fan of bands from UK in the 70's, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Genesis with Peter Gabriel... And David Bowie, of course... More and more, the UK is the land of big music anyway, you have so much to discover and have real pleasure...

I always thought they were talking about life on the road. It’s a hard life. You live separate from the rest of humanity. Your lifestyle is sleeping during the day and living at night.

I glad you want to listen to uk heavy metal I see these live 14 time live I still listen today age 64 I love this music
Love your reacton to good uk music
I grew up with this band and still digg them.. i am 59 years now :) Have a nice day.

Thanks for another engaging reaction. I enjoy listening to you guys.

The Pulse version is the go-to for this one. Greetings from Colombia
It's amazing that, after so many decades, I finally realized he was describing the exact same feeling I used to get as a child when I had a high fever and I, too, had that feeling once again as an adult about 4 years ago. I am now 58.

Wow, so once, again you taught me something i should have known a long time ago. I have heard this song so many times... But i never knew what it was called. So i thought i was going to the reaction blind. Nope i know the song. Not only that, i don't know how many times i have sang that "Hello, is anybody in there" to my friends and family if they are not listening to me. 😂 Gotta be in the mood to listen to it. They have great talent! Brick in the Wall is on my playlist. And always interesting to hear the background of the song.

The Albert hall show on pulse is the greatest solo by anyone ever. The pulse live version actually cut out 2 minutes of the second solo… WTF for?! You can find it on you tube. I cry every time I hear it.
Pulse is great. That being said, I think the studio version should always be heard first. That's the way we heard it when these songs first came out. I saw them live three times in the 80's. There is nothing like it.
Please the live version
You must watch them live, it's a different world!
First guitar solo is a teaser...wait for the second!
David’s guitar is just an extension of HIM. David and his guitar are one 🥰
The PULSE Concert LIVE 1994 version features an extended guitar solo and spectacular light show, which combine for an unforgettable performance.
I think you're absolutely correct to listen to the studio version first, even here. As great as the Pulse version is, and it is amazingly great, hearing it after the studio version will enhance the experience even more! Great review!
I can;t agree.All the suspense and surprise will e gone,my friend.
música incrível. solo incrível
Seen this song branded about for many years but first time I have listened to it in full.Only other song I've heard is Another brick in the wall.Very enjoyable to hear and found out why this group is mentioned in same breath as ELO.....quite similar vocals.good stuff.
Pure Quality.
Pulse live. Epic!
SOOOoooooo……..can you do the live Pulse version now? That guitar solo is twice as long…..magnificent!
Oh yeah … Pink Floyd… The Wall… just an incredible piece of music .
Gentleman it was phenomenal in concert. I witnessed one of the most amazing concerts ever, Pink Floyd in Arrowhead Stadium Kansas City May 26 1988. It was 2 hours and 40 minutes and wasn’t long enough. Thanks for a great July 4th reaction.
Solo ends.... followed by speechlessness..... the end
Imagine hearing this in 1979. Epic
I keep telling y'all that music from my day is better than from your day.
I was a sophomore in high school when this album was released. What was released when y'all were sophs?
I'd really love to see you guys listen to more Pink Floyd. They really are one of the most amazing band ever. Every song takes you somewhere. 🌈💗
Popped forward a year in blink of an eye. Enjoyed your last and this one too. You three have acute insight. The future looks brighter. I'll try and Time travel again and see what else you're doing in the future ....?🤔 👍
I genuinely feel like not enough people are aware this song even exists. It's a fuckin masterpiece
guys, believe me, the two most brilliant bands are pink floyd and queen
Esta song es mucho más grande y épica en el álbum "Pulse", tenéis uno de los mejores solos de la historia en directo.
Great reaction.
#1 favorite Floyd song. Gilmore can sing me to sleep any day
