David Gilmour dressed like he just arrived to fix your plumbing, crushing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and acting like it's just a normal Wednesday. Absolute legend. Also, the album solo is one of the greatest ever, but the solo from the Pulse concert is in a whole different dimension. It's unparalleled. Sheer perfection.
«Sheer perfection.» Of course: PF lives are remixed and edited from several live recording to make "the perfect one". Nobody heard those "live" actually, because there are somehow "studio" albums (from live recording).
@@detroitlady7201I'm not saying that the "real live" was not great... I'm saying that their official "live materials" are edited-remastered and "fixed". And actually, I'm not saying it, I repeat what David Gilmour explained a couple of times in interviews (~90's, some of them can only be found on "paper"). I saw them in 94, and they are my favorite band, I don't "diss" them, I try to educated "fanboys" spreading false assumptions on what we see in the video. And to be honest, I consider myself a "better fan" of Pink Floyd because I've documented myself A LOT on them.
Congratulations, you have just heard the greatest guitar solo ever recorded and probably the greatest song ever (in my opinion this is the greatest song ever), this is a masterpiece
The greatest reconstruct solo from several recording... I'm a huge fan of the Floyd, but I'm surprised how many fans acts as if it was a "one shot recording"... David Gilmour explained their way of doing "live albums" many times (first time I red him about it was for Delicate Sound of Thunder IIRC), and they EDIT, and REMIX multiple live recording to make the "perfect performance" without any "glitch"... I love it, again, they are my favorite band, but don't exaggerate those "live" as if they were "perfect" each time. This is an 'augmented' version of reality.
I saw them perform this live in san antonio in 1993. The entire audience sang every word and by the end of the guitar solo all 50,000 of us were crying in unison. It was the most emotional concert moment I've ever experienced.
I'm 70. It does me good to see young folks react with pure respect and actually liking my generation's music. It touched my heart that you were so moved by David Gilmour and this song. This song is timeless.
I'm almost 62 now and I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was a teenager. I have "devoured" all the albums. I often borrowed some of the MCs (most people don't know them anymore) from the public library. This song is my fav. And I'm very proud to have experienced PF live in Venice (1989, July), it was terrific
I'm 41 and grew up listening to my dad's music, which was The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, and a lot of other music of that era and till this day, it still blows my mind just how good it all is.
@@garri5108 I have a very broad musical taste. Listen to anything from classical music to country to rock to pop to old school heavy metal. I do not agree that Pink Floyd is the pinnacle of music, but I love them very much and certainly respect that many see them that way. Their music is sometimes larger than life.
Once you hear David Gilmore play, there is no going back. Fender made the guitar, David Gilmore taught it to cry... Welcome to the family of Pink Floyd. Good to have you with us.
It's so great to see someone of your age appreciate Pink Floyd. They didn't write songs. They wrote experiences. Someone once said that David Gilmour doesn't need an amp, he just plugs directly into your soul. You and I were crying through this together, sweetie.
Beautiful young girl checks out Pink Floyd for the first time, is immediately moved to tears, knows incstintively not to pause a David Gilmour solo, then wraps up with an eloquent, insightful review of her impressions. Well damn, that's one insta-subscription for me, thank you very much.
Don’t know whether you heard this but I have a quote I read since you m😮the Stratocaster. It read Fender may have made the Stratocaster but God made David Gilmour to perfect it. I love watching him play, sheer perfection , I’m my opinion
This was the second encore after a 2 hour concert and they performed it like it was the first song. Amazing performance, and the dark (second) solo is one of the best of all time.
The video (and most Pink Floyd live) is composed of several recording on several nights, and edited so it become "perfect". Nobody actual "saw"(/heard) this version "live".
I don't know who told you that but that is incorrect. While the album used tracks from multiple shows, the concert film was shot at a single show in October of '94 . Every video from that film was how it happened at that show. The 2019 reedit left out some songs & changed the order in which some were played, but each song performance is as it happened live.@@garryiglesias4074
@@Stumbler2001 «Unlike the previous live album Delicate Sound of Thunder, no parts of the songs were re-recorded in the studio.[6] However, the band and Guthrie fixed songs that had bad notes (as heard on some bootlegs) by lifting solos and corrected vocal lines from other performances as the band recorded most of the European leg. The album was mixed in QSound, which produces a 3D audio effect even on a two channel stereo system.» I've read it because I have all material from PF I can have, books, legs, whatever. And ANYWAY, It's on Wikipedia too... And there's nothing saying that the video is not "fixed".
@garryiglesias4074 Why do you keep posting this on every thread? Especially when she is reacting to the video of the live performance, not the live Pulse album version, so your "citations" are worthless. I saw this performance live in Denver in '94, and recorded this version live and raw on Pay Per View a couple months later. I still have the tape. Nothing here was "fixed." 🤦♂️
This guitar solo has been voted the most inspirational guitar solo in history. Ive heard it quite possibly thousands of time and this song still sends shivers up my spine and brings a tear to my eye. Not much in life can do that to me. Absolutely love Pink Floyd.
You've not wrong there. I saw Pink Floyd a couple of times in my early teens when Syd was still with them. I can't believe that Dark Side of the Moon is fifty years old! I'm 72 now!
I have listened to DSOTM Thousands of times since 1973 and I say it is the best album ever made by anyone . I'm 69 so still got a few more years listening to the Mighty Floyd 😊@MrBanzoid
The pain, sorrow, longing and beauty that comes out of Gilmour’s fingers can bring tears to my eyes. If his playing doesn’t move you, you aren’t paying attention.
No contest - David Gilmour solo here is the absolute HIGHTIDE for guitar music. And I am a huge fan of the likes of Tony Iommi. Ritchie Blackmore, Emmpu, Hendrix, Liefson, Eddie van H et al.
I've said it many times over the years... David Gilmour can do more with a single string than many guitarists can with the whole guitar. He is the very definition of the art of Expression!
David Gilmour cracks open emotions through his voice and his guitar playing that you are not prepared for. They overwhelm you. Pink Floyd is the most brilliant band ever. It's a deep, deep rabbit hole and one you may never recover from. Great reaction (from a 40+ yr fan)!
I am 67 years old Stacey, and I Loooove listening to new reactors experiencing Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Every time I listen/watch this performance, It brings me to tears. Happy, and uplifting tears they are. It is just a sensory overload of emotions every time. THE SOLO, is to me, and I'm sure many others is the greatest thing of all time. Thank you so much for the shared experience. To enjoy this music, you don't always have to dissect every note, every beat. I thoroughly enjoy your reactions always. You just get it. You enjoy music for the feeling and joy it brings your heart and your soul. 🤗
I'm glad you 3 got a fleeting glimpse. "Each and every time that humans speak, our thoughts are simultaneously BROADCAST in a much richer way than can be fit into words." No belief included, I simply remember before being taught verbal language, mama and dada. Learn the language of your newborns & you learn to care about each other just as you care about yourselves. I got a lot more than a fleeting glimpse, so I can explain more whenever requested.
‘Comfortably Numb’ is one of Pink Floyd’s most iconic songs, and it’s amazing that you felt such a deep connection to it! The song was released in 1979 on The Wall, a concept album written by Roger Waters that deals with themes of isolation and personal struggle. But what makes ‘Comfortably Numb’ really stand out is David Gilmour’s soulful guitar work. His guitar solo in this song is often ranked as one of the greatest solos of all time. Gilmour plays a Fender Stratocaster, and the tone he creates is so distinct that it’s become a signature sound for Pink Floyd. His ability to mix emotion with technical mastery is what made the song hit so hard for so many people. Fun fact: Gilmour and Waters actually disagreed about how the song should sound, with Gilmour wanting it more melodic and Waters pushing for more raw emotion-but that tension created something truly unforgettable.
One of the biggest unwritten rules when listening to music, especially Pink Floyd, is to never pause a David Gilmore solo. You somehow knew, instinctively, to let it play without pause. Saying "Oh my God" is perfect because those of us who have heard this song and solo multiple times say the same thing. This is my favorite Pink Floyd song and the solo is, in my opinion, the greatest solo in music history, EVER!
Even though I’ve heard this song countless times over the decades, your reaction caused me to weep right along with you, as if hearing it for the first time. Thank you!
Same. I'm over here crying my eyes out. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. This was such a touching reaction. Thank you for what you've done here.
Me too. This Song is so Deep and I don’t Cry often, But David Gilmours Comfortably Numb got me every time. So emotional and I can’t do nothing against it.
Congratulations! You possess the great gift of appreciating great music. I was introduced to Pink Floyd in 1979 when I received the Wall album as a gift. I have been listening to it regularly ever since. I was lucky enough to be at one of the concerts shown on the video and like you, I dissolve into tears every time I listen to their music - and I'm a 75 year old man now. You will be doing yourself a great favour by acquiring and listening to “the Dark Side of the Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “the Wall”, “the Final Cut”, “a Momentary Lapse of Reason”, “the Delicate Sound of Thunder” and “the Division Bell”. These are my personal favourites. All of the songs may not quite rank up there with “Comfortably Numb” but they are real close. I've never been able to get into any of their albums prior to “Dark Side of the Moon”. I think they underwent a sea change for the better with the sad departure of Syd Barrett.
Pink Floyd's music is LEGENDARY and their concerts are met to overwhelm your senses. Relax sit back and let the music and visuals take you away!Been listening to them since the "high times" of the early 1970's and it still takes me to another place...
I am 41 and found them when I was in my early teens back in the early/mid 90ies, going through local 2nd hand record stores in my hometown along with my best friend. I ended up being infatuated with them and bought everything they ever released. even bootleg releases and different versions etc. My music taste has evolved and expanded alot since then, and I have seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts durig the past 3 decades... The definetly made me love exploring what music can be!
Pink Floyd are from a time when lyrics were important and musicianship served the song. It was about telling a story and conveying emotion. The late 60's to the late 70's was a very creative decade for music. This song and performance are a perfect representation of what people strove to do. Of course this performance was fairly recent but lucky us, Floyd still had it. Bands that have been around this long with members in their 60's, 70's, and 80's are going to get deep with it. They'll move you with their wisdom, energy, and life's experiences. It's awesome that young people are able to still get a taste of what we lived with. You were taken by surprise because today's music has a different purpose and approach. I'm not saying that's bad or good but there was no way you would have known this was possible unless it was played in your household growing up. So yay! You got to feel it.
I'm 72 and like so many others have listened to Pink Floyd from their beginning. Their library of music is second to none. They had a way to connect and draw any and every emotion possible. What you describe is what all of us have experienced - breath taking that never goes away. Enjoy this ride, it's one of the best you'll ever take
I remember in the early 1970s I went to visit my cousin in Toronto and we did some LSD (orange barrel if memory serves): we were really tripping and he had me lie down so I could listen to this band he had discovered named ‘Pink Floyd‘ (he had a great sound system but no headphones) and he started playing ‘Careful with that axe Eugene‘ and when the scream came he turned the volume up to 11 and I don‘t really think I have ever fully recovered.
73 year old here, been with Floyd since the first single March 1967. Saw them live for the first time November 1967, on the same bill as Jimi Hendrix. Have every album through to the Wall. Did not buy the final cut as by then they had lost me. Thank god The rest of the guys kept going when Waters left, another era, with two albums and of course the Pulse live album and DVD.@@lindsaymac01
This is an iconic performance. Wait until you listen to the entire album Dark Side Of The Moon, and you have to listen to the entire album in one sitting. According to Billboard, the album remained on its charts for a whopping 972 weeks (roughly over 18 years).
I was going to suggest that she sit in a dimly lit room, maybe a glass of wine by her side. Earphones on and listen - no just let the music take you away. Dark Side is beyond amazing.
I'm 64 and delighted that someone so young gets this sublime music. Go girl! And this is my favourite band by far. No one touches them. Let the music take you to another world ❤
hi stace ..a saw them in 87 at the dome in houston ..what a great gig ..and what a great era of music..to have lived it and follow the band album after album (lucky me)...keep up the good work ..to see your generation react like that ..makes me feel a little special ...it truly was awesome .. thank you
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a Pink Floyd show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both 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 told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. 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. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. 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. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
As you hear more and more of their music you will be transformed! Sorrow, high hopes, dogs, and virtually EVER SINGLE piece of music they created is brilliant. Their lyrics are of à wisdom that is well beyond their years. You're view of music and art just changed forever.
Every Pink Floyd song takes you to a place you didn’t know existed. Although it’s a different place for each person, it’s also a place you want to revisit over and over again ! ❤️❤️
The birth of a new Pink Floyd fan. They plug straight into your soul in almost every song. Listen to The Wall, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here ..... your density awaits
Glad you enjoyed it God created us and music so that it can deeply impact our soul and spirit. Although the first guitar solo was outstanding, the second one is considered by most people, one of the two greatest guitar solos of all time.
Those are all super deep, if you are a new listener and want fun guitar and still very deep vocals, brain damage/eclipse will blow your mind. The whole dark side of the moon got remastered recently, the whole album is 45 minutes so it's an easy listen.
Staci, I’m 62 and have enjoyed this song since I first heard it many years ago. Seeing your reaction reminds me that there is a generation out there that still appreciates the art of fine music and musicians. Thanks
I'm 64 now and since i bought my first Record "Meddle" from Pink Floyd in 1971 (I was 11 Years old then) I swear there is not even one Day left without listening to Pink Floyd 🤩🤩 So it was amazing to see your Reaction to this today 😍 I have seen this concert live and 2 years after that I saw them live again. The last Time I saw Roger Waters live in Orlando Florida in 2022 ..... This Music comes from outer Space I always said 😂 .... so I can say, you will Love the Records "Dark side of the Moon", "Wish you were here", "Animals" and "The WALL" .... and all the other Records as well !!!! I can recommend it 100% HAVE FUN GIRL 😃
This is a masterpiece Stacey, you just experienced what true artistry and what it took to become a legend is all about. Their music is EPIC and surreal. Please check out more of their music. I do suggest "Time" as the next one. Nice reaction.
My husband said Wish You Were Here. Only because every time he hears it it reminds him of his dad. He spent 27 months 17 days in a Chinese POW Camp when he fought in Korea.
Comfortably Numb is one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever composed. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. This never gets old. Ever. It speaks to something that we all know and cannot be expressed in any other way. This is why it touches you in the way that it does, Stacey. Music - real music is a language all its own. Extraordinary musicians like David Gilmour can communicate their inner experiences as few can today. Gilmour’s guitar appears to be connected directly to his soul. Some musicians can manage that for a few moments. For Gilmour, it’s his natural state of being. It is unmistakable and cannot be faked.
Very astute and I recommend the David Bowie “Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)” medley from the Diamond Dog album. I think you’ll experience it much the same way.
The year was 1977, was an 18 year old Army private in Germany. Didnt know jack about much. Found somemoney to but a stereo found Pink Floyd Pyramid Album never stoped listening.
You asked, "What was that?" That was a master class of guitar soloing by one of the most talented and amazing musicians who's ever lived. I've never heard anyone who can make a guitar talk to you like David can. When I say "talk", his solos have a sentence-structure to them as if they're telling a story that your heart is compelled to listen to.
This is EXACTLY what I've been trying to articulate for years about David Gilmore. His guitar solos sing to you in a language we all universally understand.
In Gilmour's big guitar solo, notice how the audience was absolutely still. Until near the very end, it was like they were at a classical music concert. So focused, just listening carefully. That was beautiful.
Spot on. I was at this exact concert 20/10/94 and I was in tears at the end of CN. I simply struggled to process it. It was almost spiritual. I cannot find any other words.
I cry every time I hear the “When I was a child a caught a fleeting glimpse, I turned to look, but it was gone…the child has grown the DREAM IS GONE!!”
My wife and I have seen Pink Floyd three times. Once in the 70's, once in the '80s, and once in the '90s. No one puts on a show like them. Great reaction and thank you for not pausing during one of the greatest guitar solos of all times.
Pink Floyd has been for me one of the best bands of all time. It's not even music, it's an experience. It is a journey beyond the senses, a walk through the subconscious, a projection of your being towards the universe and beyond... it is a feeling so vivid that it is impossible to explain but it is easy to experience. This entire concert is a work of art and David Gilmour does without a doubt one of the longest but at the same time most beautiful solos you can ever hear. I'm glad to know that more people are listening and reacting positively to this band that, as I mentioned, is the best of all time.
Seeing this performance Live was the greatest experience 5 years prior to this “ Pulse “ show. Veterans Stadium in Philly 1989 during the “ Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour among 70,000 amazed fans. B st concert among hundreds seen in my 63 years. Great reaction!! New subscriber.
Every so often I find another First Time Reaction to Comfortably Numb (especially this Pulse version), because there are dozens of reviews and every single time the reviewer is totally blown away. Your reaction was wonderful, so touching, the emotions taking me back to my first time. I've been listening to this track since it was released in 1979, and I must have played it literally hundreds of times and it NEVER GETS OLD. I find that unbelievable, most music I get sick of after a few playings but Pink Floyd and this track in particular just keep on being great. Thank you so much for another sweet, sweet trip down memory lane.
This is your introduction to Pink Floyd!?! Man... this is actually my favorite song of all time. I cannot hear it without being moved to my core. Welcome to the fandom.
I'm a 60's/70's, kid, found Floyd in mid 70's high school. As a kid I tacitly knew of music but didn't have a radio, least carrying one around. I liked the Beatles since their Ed Sullivan show appearance in NYC in '64. My mom put my slightly younger brother and I in front of the TV (we were 4&5), proclaiming: "Remember this!" which I did! That started my music interests. As a very young teen, I bicycled to music/instrument stores to read, even copy lyrics of fav songs. My 6th grade book fair saw me order the complete Beatles Lyrics paperback - still have it! Floyd's Dark Side imparted the same lasting memory as the Beatles did. Upon my first listen at a mid 70's teen party, I was sold! My 1950's oldies knowledge is still there - I call out band names and song titles during oldies commercials to sell compilations! My parents were still around then and marveled at my song knowledge. By the later 70's I was transformed into a Floyd fan. Another benefit to my "broad, name that tune knowledge" enabled me to win concert tickets from radio station contests. I'd get a dozen of my friends into the same show on my wins! After each win, I'd call a friend and instruct them to get "their ticket" down at the radio station in town. I had a dozen people at this same Pulse Tour (NYC) you're playing, and so many others that I can't even count all the shows I've seen! It's not cheating it's just smart! lol Lastly, it is said among Floyd fans, you never interrupt a Gilmore guitar solo, never! lol
The only time I saw PF live was the 1993 tour at Giants Stadium. That was over 30 years ago! I can still watch it to this day and still get goosebumps and emotional every time! That's the effect their material has on anyone watching even if for the first time. INCREDIBLE!!!!
I saw them in 1975 in Hamilton Ontario. Wish You Were Here first set. Dark Side of the Moon second set with Echos as the encore. That concert is actually posted here on UA-cam. The Greatest Concert, EVER! Pink Floyd at Ivor Wynne Stadium, Hamilton, Ontario, June 28, 1975
I have no idea how many times I’ve heard this song and that solo, yet every single time the hair tingles on the back of my neck and tears well up in my eyes.
Yes! David is the master of phrasing, not a single note is wasted and not a single note is out of place. It’s kind of like listening to someone talking to you in a foreign language but yet somehow you know what they’re trying to say to you. And it’s positive, it’s encouraging, it’s empathetic and sometimes extremely grim. That is the mastery of Comfortably Numb - it is a song that talks about the journey that we’ve all been on but would rather not discuss - over time, with each letdown, failure and disappointment you learn to shove the grief and hurt aside and just become numb to it. This song makes you think about life in an existential way, about how emotionally cut off you’ve let yourself become in order to watch your dreams die, your loved ones pass, and for the dice to just not roll your way time and time again. The first solo IMO is tears and farewell to the optimistic naivety of childhood, and the second solo is a commentary that ::waves hands around:: THIS is what your life has descended into. Cynicism, apathy, settling for scraps. I decided to not continue to be numb a few years back. I now live a complete mental and emotional life experience. I laugh when shit’s funny, I cry when it’s sad and I’ve stopped shoving things down and now my life is lived externally. But there remains a lingering sadness because I used to shove my emotions into the spot where my hope lived, and now that I’ve expelled all that out of me, the chasm is still there, just fucking empty. No matter what you do, life tears a hole into you, and extracts things from you. tl;dr This song is the best song ever, and David Gilmour is the fucking GOAT.
I'm 56, been listening to PF since the 80s. your reaction was perfect, it should make you cry. it should hurt a little to listen to it. and Comf Numb is just one piece of one amazing double album that you should listen to all the way through. Their catalog is incredibly deep, so much for you to explore.
Pink Floyd are one of those bands that stands alone in a genre of their own. In 100 years people will still be listening to them. I can't think of many bands like that, Led Zeppelin and Queen spring to mind.
@@ronbr9792 Their manager admitted the 12,000 DS fans attending their concert at Wembley Arena would all have preferred to be across the road in the stadium watching Live Aid.
What is so heartbroken for me, as a middle age man, is that the youngsters of today start listening to this amazing Masterpiece which came out 4 Decades ago, and in reality this legend of a guitarist, today is almost 80 years old, and still on the go
What's heartbreaking for me is that the singer blames Ukrainians for defending themselves against genocide and declares Taiwan as part of China. Waters has become a dangerous and influential contrarian and a complete parody of himself.
@@Winter-CIG Roger Waters was not playing in this video. He is no longer part of PF. The guitarist is David Gilmour. Rogers Waters is a genius but now tripped into madness.
For more feels, On the Turning Away is great musically and lyrically it tells a potent story of how poorly humans can treat each other, but there's always hope to be better. Hard to go wrong with any song from the Pulse Concert, it's a master class in musical and visual creation. It's nice to know that after 50+ years, the younger generation can appreciate the beauty of this band. I've been listening to them since the late 70" and will listen to them till the day I leave this mortal realm.
There is Pink Floyd, and then there are the ordinary bands; the members of Pink Floyd seem more like wizards meticulously producing something, like scientists in a laboratory-something that cannot be described in words. They have the ability to make us cry simply by contemplating the beauty of the music they create. They've been my favorite band since my adolescence. I used to walk to school in 1998 listening to the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' on my Walkman. I had the opportunity this year to attend a concert by one of the band members, Roger Waters. I've never cried so much at a show. This band will always be very special to me.
I love how emotional you are listening to this song; that’s what music should do, make you feel. This is one of the greatest tunes ever written, by one of the greatest bands ever formed.
I saw them on this concert tour in 1994 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. It was the greatest concert I've ever seen, by far. You need to listen to the entire live album, Pulse. The entire second set is the Dark Side of the Moon album. When they played Wish You Were Here, the whole crowd sung along, word for word. That was about 90,000 people singing together.
Hello from Germany, Thank you for your wonderful video. It expresses exactly how I feel about this Pink Floyd performance. It's indescribable, magical, out of this world. I heard ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ on the radio for the first time when I was 7 or 8 years old. Of course, I couldn't speak English yet and didn't understand a word. But even then, the music triggered something in me that I still can't describe today. I then bought ‘The Wall’ with my pocket money as a child. Now I'm 52, I understand the lyrics...and the music of Pink Floyd still moves me today. When I hear David's guitar, when I hear David's voice, I get goose bumps. Pink Floyd goes so deep into the soul. You can't explain it. Even in over 50 years, the music of Pink Floyd has lost none of its magic. In my opinion, it will never be the same again. Big praise for your channel. I enjoy watching it. Keep up the good work. :-)
Some people don't realize how emotional this song can make you. My favorite part of this video is watching the crowd just as the 2nd solo begins. It's almost like they're subconsciously waiting for greatness.
They are still, almost as one, no jumping around just standing in awe. I would not be surprised if everyone was breathing in unison and their hearts beating in time by the end.
You picked the absolute best version of this song. It seems like David does it differently every time, but in my opinion, this is the best guitar solo I’ve ever heard in my life.
Ofc she did, if you would look closer, she chooses to pick bands with biggest fan bases and songs with most views for her "first time reaction" :D Clever Girl
Your heartfelt reaction did the song justice, as it is one of the greatest solos of all time, by one of the greatest bands of all time. Your line 'I feel like I'm floating' is exactly how I feel when I listen to them on my headset. Thank you, Stacey fpr putting yourself out there and trying to describe your feelings after that!
I saw the show live in '94 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, I was exactly 30 years old. I have known Pink Floyd since the summer of '73 and my first contact was with the amazing The Dark Side Of The Moon, I was nine years old and I was struck forever: their music was imprinted in my flesh and in my "soul". They were the soundtrack of my life. Then came Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Supertramp, Emerson Like & Palmer, King Krimson and so on up to classical music. But leave Pink Floyd to the sky: they are the Gods, everything else flows below. Congratulations for the video and your genuine reaction
I was blessed to see them in Denver June of 94. They played for about 3 hours, and I mean played, no talking,just music. I am 60 and have always have been a faithful listener to Pink Floyd!!
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend and I at the time loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife loved concerts as well during that time. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Our 4 adult children (28-33) are big fans of 70’s-80’s music like my wife and I are. It’s great, lol. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
Welcome to the Floyd rabbit hole. You will be blown away many times by their songs. If you like the harmonies, then you will absolutely love the song On the Turning Away from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert. I saw both songs performed live and just incredible.
I was at the taping for the Delicate Sound of Thunder DVD in Uniondale Long Island. Best concert ever. Pink Floyd’s stage production and lighting is second to none.
The music our parents hated (I’m 69 now). I feel badly for them! The late 60’s and early 70’s was a magical time, to put it mildly. There were SO many phenomenal bands emerging to become the epic soundtrack of our lives. Glad you so thoroughly enjoyed this one…they don’t get any better! I suggest listening to these bands, as well: YES, ELP, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Doobie Brothers, Traffic, Blind Faith, Cream, Grand Funk, The Eagles, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, America, The Beatles, Bread, Genesis, The Who, Caravan, Wishbone Ash, Deep Purple, James Gang, Steely Dan, Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Uriah Heep, Focus, The Band, Derek & The Dominos, Fog Hat, Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Kansas, J. Geils Band, Elton John, Prince, Three Dog Night, etc.
Maybe if you had tried to listen to their music, they might have listened to yours. Both sides missed out. You are missing the obvious she took the time to listen to her parents music.
This was from the Division Bell Tour in 1994. I saw them on that tour on April 14 in San Diego in Jack Murphy Stadium. The crowd was 51,610 people. The average ticket price for the show was $30. I basically had the worse seats in the house, 4 rows from the last row - furthest from the stage. But still, it was the best concert I ever saw. The big takeaways were the sound of Gilmour’s guitar and the light show. I still can’t believe how good the band sounded from those terrible seats. Thank you for the reaction. Great stuff. Consider watching “Sorrow” live from the same (Pulse DVD) concert.
I was also there the concert was phenomenal! when the disco ball came down and i looked around the stage i could see those lights like stars! Best concert of my Life!!! even better than Roger Waters the Wall 2010 and i was at that one also. But Pulse was the best of them all!
I saw the Pulse Tour in ‘94 at Tampa Stadium. From the moment we walked in when they had sound effects and lighting that made it seem like a helicopter was circling just outside the stadium, to the encore of Comfortably Numb…60,000 fans had our minds blown in the best possible way. I had seen them in ‘88 so I thought I was prepared. Nope! PF always has been, and always will be my favorite band. I never tire of them. Such a thrill to witness Stacy become a fan before our very eyes. Great videos btw Stacy! You are both genuine and polished. I’m rooting for you to go far in your online career 😁
I started loving Pink Floyd when I was 12 and I had nobody to share it with my entire youth. All of my friends thought it was boring after I've shown them a song. Even nowadays as a 34 year old, nobody of my friends appreciates it. That's why it feels great to see you like it, thanks!
Same.. 12 was when my world changed and I was kinda alone with my admiration(besides my Dad who introduced them to me). I'm happy with my life but there are moments when I get bit sad to never hearing them live.. ever.. kinda my only regret? In life 😅
It's very moving for me to see your emotion. For me, this song and especially this Gilmour solo is the most beautiful page in the History of Rock. No one has ever done anything that comes close, not even Gilmour himself, before or since. It was so mesmerizing. God bless you, girl! Thanks!
I was there at Earls Court, with my two brothers. One of the best experiences of my entire life. If it wasn't for my eldest brother I'd probably never have listened to them either! I trust since your outward emotion you've listened to the full album (The Wall) I was just under the ball that opened up, right in the centre of the stage. David Gilmore is a musical God. Fingers and voice of an angel. Loving your channel by the way. ❤️❤️❤️
To see a young person moved to see a young person moved to tears by Pink Floyd really warms my 50-year-old heart. I’m moved to tears too.. not just by Pink Floyd, but by seeing how their music speaks to someone’s soul. This was a great reaction Stacey, and you’ve got so many wonderful videos on your channel. I love how 'real' your reactions are. I’m subscribed! keep feeling the music!
I'm 60 and grew upon this music !!! It's awesome to see someone in your generation appreciating such incredible music. I was in high school and this song brings back memories and is very emotional for me also. Great reaction.
There's nothing like hearing them for the first time, but even after hearing them hundreds of times they are no less amazing. This is the music I grew up on and they will always be one of my favorite bands.
You will be even more moved by their song "On the turning away" More phenomenal vocals and soaring instrumentals. Enjoy! They were dubbed as the "Wizards of rock" back in the 70's.
This song is what actually helped me heal my relationship with my dad. I meditated while listening to this song and remembering all the pain my dad live through in his life, which led him to become “Comfortably Numb,” and in turn crumpled in the floor into a crying mess. When I got up again by the end of the song I felt like Gilmour’s guitar solo had literally re-arranged my emotions and my perspective toward my dad and made me regain my empathy towards him. A week or so later I called him and told him I forgave him for everything he did, and we’ve been talking more and more ever since then. Thanks David Gilmour & Floyd, because of you guys there is no more pain, it’s receding, and I can love my old man again ❤️.
This was the best reaction video I've ever seen. Truly emotional and sincere. 💖 Comfortably Numb is such an incredible sound, with touching chords and melodies that provoke a strong emotional reaction. Brilliant musical arrangements and the best guitar solo of all time. 🤘 You're jealous of anyone who saw the live performance of this song, and I'm jealous of anyone watching this masterpiece for the first time. 😉 This is my favorite song, and I've certainly heard it thousands of times. Even live, thank you God for that. 🙏
@@StaceyRPGReactsI remember when Dark Side of the Moon came out. I could not stop playing it. NOBODY gets black Sabbath today, as they do not understand the back drop when sweet leaf was released. I agree with the majority, Stairway to Heaven is the greatest.
I was here!!! It was truly unbelievable, people could honestly not believe what they were witnessing, we walked out of that concert in total silence.....Still the best gig I've ever been to
I remember that too. Most concerts people walk out of in a rowdy mood, ready to do some post-concert partying. But people walking out of Pink Floyd concerts are.....reverent. And still trying to process what they just witnessed.

The pinnacle of great music. You’ve reached the peak of Everest Stacey.
Spot On, and their music is deeper than the Marianas Trench!
It will endure :)
It is just music...You can say, it is all what music can be....
David Gilmour dressed like he just arrived to fix your plumbing, crushing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and acting like it's just a normal Wednesday. Absolute legend.
Also, the album solo is one of the greatest ever, but the solo from the Pulse concert is in a whole different dimension. It's unparalleled. Sheer perfection.
«Sheer perfection.»
Of course: PF lives are remixed and edited from several live recording to make "the perfect one". Nobody heard those "live" actually, because there are somehow "studio" albums (from live recording).
Guitar god. So much emotion.
Saw David do that solo twice in two different states and both were every bit as good this!!! @garryiglesias4074
@@detroitlady7201I'm not saying that the "real live" was not great... I'm saying that their official "live materials" are edited-remastered and "fixed". And actually, I'm not saying it, I repeat what David Gilmour explained a couple of times in interviews (~90's, some of them can only be found on "paper").
I saw them in 94, and they are my favorite band, I don't "diss" them, I try to educated "fanboys" spreading false assumptions on what we see in the video. And to be honest, I consider myself a "better fan" of Pink Floyd because I've documented myself A LOT on them.
@@garryiglesias4074I appreciate the truth. They are still in incredible.
Congratulations, you have just heard the greatest guitar solo ever recorded and probably the greatest song ever (in my opinion this is the greatest song ever), this is a masterpiece
Nah Jimmy Page No Quarter live MSG 1973.
@@lyndoncmp5751hardly.
Both are the greatest, arguable.
The greatest reconstruct solo from several recording... I'm a huge fan of the Floyd, but I'm surprised how many fans acts as if it was a "one shot recording"... David Gilmour explained their way of doing "live albums" many times (first time I red him about it was for Delicate Sound of Thunder IIRC), and they EDIT, and REMIX multiple live recording to make the "perfect performance" without any "glitch"... I love it, again, they are my favorite band, but don't exaggerate those "live" as if they were "perfect" each time. This is an 'augmented' version of reality.
NAW, CHAMP. BUT, THAT'S YOUR OPINION. EDDIE VAN HALEN DID THE BEST I'VE SEEN YET. JUST SAYING...
I saw them perform this live in san antonio in 1993. The entire audience sang every word and by the end of the guitar solo all 50,000 of us were crying in unison. It was the most emotional concert moment I've ever experienced.
I saw that tour at the Rose Bowl and the crowds reaction was just as you described.
That must have been AWESOME!
I saw them in Philly. You are right. Like no other concert I have been to. The energy was amazing. The lights, all the props! Outstanding!
I saw Pink Floyd devision bell tour in gelsenkerschen germany . A crazy night , a masterpeice , unlike my spelling of the host town....
I was also at the 1993 San Antonio concert. I went to many great concerts, but this one was the best of them all. A mind blowing show and performance.
I'm 70. It does me good to see young folks react with pure respect and actually liking my generation's music. It touched my heart that you were so moved by David Gilmour and this song. This song is timeless.
I'm almost 62 now and I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was a teenager. I have "devoured" all the albums. I often borrowed some of the MCs (most people don't know them anymore) from the public library.
This song is my fav. And I'm very proud to have experienced PF live in Venice (1989, July), it was terrific
My kids (22/24) listen to "my" music almost exclusively. They tell me nothing today can compete.
Am 24 and it's one of my fvrt song and band of all time ✨
I'm 41 and grew up listening to my dad's music, which was The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, and a lot of other music of that era and till this day, it still blows my mind just how good it all is.
im in my late 20s and all i can say is your time was THE time to be alive for the peak of music
I'm 71 and my friend this is the pinnacle of REAL MUSIC
It's not. You had 71 years to listen more music, and Pink Floyd is your "the best"? Funny
It is for me too Jerry.
@@garri5108You're fucking weird dude. What do you think is better than this?
You could not be more correct. Screw @garri5108 clown.
@@garri5108 I have a very broad musical taste. Listen to anything from classical music to country to rock to pop to old school heavy metal. I do not agree that Pink Floyd is the pinnacle of music, but I love them very much and certainly respect that many see them that way. Their music is sometimes larger than life.
Once you hear David Gilmore play, there is no going back. Fender made the guitar, David Gilmore taught it to cry... Welcome to the family of Pink Floyd. Good to have you with us.
Sometimes I swear he has the frets wrapped around the neck of the guitar for how much he can bend the strings.
*Gilmour
He doesn't play the guitar, he recites poetry with it.
Family? You can't even spell the guys name properly. Gilmour ffs.
He ruined a music for me. After hearing Gilmour, Hendrix, Clapton, Page...they all sounds like amateurs for me.
It's so great to see someone of your age appreciate Pink Floyd. They didn't write songs. They wrote experiences. Someone once said that David Gilmour doesn't need an amp, he just plugs directly into your soul. You and I were crying through this together, sweetie.
Beautiful young girl checks out Pink Floyd for the first time, is immediately moved to tears, knows incstintively not to pause a David Gilmour solo, then wraps up with an eloquent, insightful review of her impressions.
Well damn, that's one insta-subscription for me, thank you very much.
I got nuthin to add to that... Well said.

“The child is grown, the dream is gone.” Such a sad line.
Have listened to this song thousands of time and today that line caught me deep in the emotions
It is, but it's also the truth!
And such an inevitable truth.
I'm wondering if he saw an angel.
That line hits me hard every time, too, especially since my son is grown now.
I'm 72, still living, and that Pink Floyd song and songs bring back soooo many memories of what used to be, it's magical.
I'm 71 and love floyd
a Pink Floyd concert wasn't just a show, it was a life-altering experience.
Amen to that! I saw them in Nashville during the Pulse tour, and it was hands down the greatest concert experience of my life.
I have seen P.F several times from 1970 to 1986(ish), and especially in the early years, it was like a religious experience!
Zen like for sure, you just sit, watch, and listen till the songs are over, transfixed in the moment, crazy good musical experience.
@@shannonmattingly1630I saw the pulse (division bell) tour in Washington DC, best concert I ever saw.
Can confirm lol June 2nd 1994 Vet Stadium in Philadelphia....I still have the ticket!
Dude shows up in jeans and a t-shirt and sings with the voice of an angel and then makes a Stratocaster sound like a Stradivarius.
Don’t know whether you heard this but I have a quote I read since you m😮the Stratocaster. It read Fender may have made the Stratocaster but God made David Gilmour to perfect it. I love watching him play, sheer perfection , I’m my opinion
The master
You are right
The quote about Gilmour and the Stradivarius- it’s actually (he’s so good) ‘he can make a Ukulele sound like a Stradivarius’ 😉
Right
This was the second encore after a 2 hour concert and they performed it like it was the first song. Amazing performance, and the dark (second) solo is one of the best of all time.
I was there. There was two more songs after this. They finished with 'Run like hell'.
The video (and most Pink Floyd live) is composed of several recording on several nights, and edited so it become "perfect". Nobody actual "saw"(/heard) this version "live".
I don't know who told you that but that is incorrect. While the album used tracks from multiple shows, the concert film was shot at a single show in October of '94 . Every video from that film was how it happened at that show. The 2019 reedit left out some songs & changed the order in which some were played, but each song performance is as it happened live.@@garryiglesias4074
@@Stumbler2001 «Unlike the previous live album Delicate Sound of Thunder, no parts of the songs were re-recorded in the studio.[6] However, the band and Guthrie fixed songs that had bad notes (as heard on some bootlegs) by lifting solos and corrected vocal lines from other performances as the band recorded most of the European leg. The album was mixed in QSound, which produces a 3D audio effect even on a two channel stereo system.»
I've read it because I have all material from PF I can have, books, legs, whatever. And ANYWAY, It's on Wikipedia too... And there's nothing saying that the video is not "fixed".
@garryiglesias4074 Why do you keep posting this on every thread?
Especially when she is reacting to the video of the live performance, not the live Pulse album version, so your "citations" are worthless.
I saw this performance live in Denver in '94, and recorded this version live and raw on Pay Per View a couple months later. I still have the tape.
Nothing here was "fixed." 🤦♂️
That might just be the greatest guitar solo ever played by anyone! An absolute masterpiece !
I was there that night, and even now 30yrs on, I still get goose bumps every time I watch this.
I was there too and I will never forget it.
Me too, amazing.
I can't even imagine, I would probably have came in my pants
I was there too - and feel exactly the same!!
Me too!!!! Amazing to be there!
This guitar solo has been voted the most inspirational guitar solo in history. Ive heard it quite possibly thousands of time and this song still sends shivers up my spine and brings a tear to my eye. Not much in life can do that to me. Absolutely love Pink Floyd.
You've not wrong there. I saw Pink Floyd a couple of times in my early teens when Syd was still with them. I can't believe that Dark Side of the Moon is fifty years old! I'm 72 now!
I have listened to DSOTM Thousands of times since 1973 and I say it is the best album ever made by anyone . I'm 69 so still got a few more years listening to the Mighty Floyd 😊@MrBanzoid
The pain, sorrow, longing and beauty that comes out of Gilmour’s fingers can bring tears to my eyes. If his playing doesn’t move you, you aren’t paying attention.
Possibly the best band EVER!!
Absolutely the best
No possibly about it......they are the greatest!!
The guitar gods smile down on you for not interrupting the solos. Your reaction was priceless and sincere. Welcome to music bliss.
That guitar solo is rated as one of the THE BEST Solos EVER! It's not fast or flashy, it is 10000% heartfelt
I'll take this over Eddie's solo, EVERYDAY!!!!!
No contest - David Gilmour solo here is the absolute HIGHTIDE for guitar music. And I am a huge fan of the likes of Tony Iommi. Ritchie Blackmore, Emmpu, Hendrix, Liefson, Eddie van H et al.
voted the best all time.
@@kevinressler242 yeah that's what I was implying lol I got to see Roger Waters live, but wish it would have been Gilmore instead!
Couldn't find the right words to describe the soloing, but you did! Mr. Gilmore one of the best to ever do it!🤘
His guitar made you cry like a child… that´s magic, that´s feeling…that´s art… that´s David Gilmour. The soul of Pink Floyd. Period
I've said it many times over the years... David Gilmour can do more with a single string than many guitarists can with the whole guitar. He is the very definition of the art of Expression!
His guitar is like another voice. Incredible
Well said
please, always mention the genius of Roger Waters
And dont forgett the mighty keyboardplayers❤
The last 6 minutes is Gilmore best solo ever and probably the best solo of all time.
The whole stage design and production of this tour was incredible and almost 30 years later it is still unmatched.
I've seen some great stage productions, but I don't think anything will ever surpass this either!
totally true
It was definitely fly for 1994. This was before LED lighting, so pulling this off would have been more difficult back then.
Not to mention the jaw dropping sound quality
David Gilmour cracks open emotions through his voice and his guitar playing that you are not prepared for. They overwhelm you. Pink Floyd is the most brilliant band ever. It's a deep, deep rabbit hole and one you may never recover from. Great reaction (from a 40+ yr fan)!
I've always said the light show isn't really a light show it is Dave ripping open the fabric of the space time continuum.
I am 67 years old Stacey, and I Loooove listening to new reactors experiencing Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Every time I listen/watch this performance, It brings me to tears. Happy, and uplifting tears they are. It is just a sensory overload of emotions every time. THE SOLO, is to me, and I'm sure many others is the greatest thing of all time. Thank you so much for the shared experience. To enjoy this music, you don't always have to dissect every note, every beat. I thoroughly enjoy your reactions always. You just get it. You enjoy music for the feeling and joy it brings your heart and your soul. 🤗

I'm sitting here in 2024 with tears watching her beautiful reaction to the best song in the world
‘Comfortably Numb’ is one of Pink Floyd’s most iconic songs, and it’s amazing that you felt such a deep connection to it! The song was released in 1979 on The Wall, a concept album written by Roger Waters that deals with themes of isolation and personal struggle. But what makes ‘Comfortably Numb’ really stand out is David Gilmour’s soulful guitar work. His guitar solo in this song is often ranked as one of the greatest solos of all time. Gilmour plays a Fender Stratocaster, and the tone he creates is so distinct that it’s become a signature sound for Pink Floyd. His ability to mix emotion with technical mastery is what made the song hit so hard for so many people. Fun fact: Gilmour and Waters actually disagreed about how the song should sound, with Gilmour wanting it more melodic and Waters pushing for more raw emotion-but that tension created something truly unforgettable.
Amen
One of the biggest unwritten rules when listening to music, especially Pink Floyd, is to never pause a David Gilmore solo. You somehow knew, instinctively, to let it play without pause. Saying "Oh my God" is perfect because those of us who have heard this song and solo multiple times say the same thing. This is my favorite Pink Floyd song and the solo is, in my opinion, the greatest solo in music history, EVER!
Sorry to be an ass, but if you are gonna lecture about not pausing David´s solo, you could actually research how his surname is spelled correctly ;)

Me too. This Song is so Deep and I don’t Cry often, But David Gilmours Comfortably Numb got me every time. So emotional and I can’t do nothing against it.
Congratulations! You possess the great gift of appreciating great music. I was introduced to Pink Floyd in 1979 when I received the Wall album as a gift. I have been listening to it regularly ever since. I was lucky enough to be at one of the concerts shown on the video and like you, I dissolve into tears every time I listen to their music - and I'm a 75 year old man now. You will be doing yourself a great favour by acquiring and listening to “the Dark Side of the Moon”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “the Wall”, “the Final Cut”, “a Momentary Lapse of Reason”, “the Delicate Sound of Thunder” and “the Division Bell”. These are my personal favourites. All of the songs may not quite rank up there with “Comfortably Numb” but they are real close. I've never been able to get into any of their albums prior to “Dark Side of the Moon”. I think they underwent a sea change for the better with the sad departure of Syd Barrett.
Pink Floyd's music is LEGENDARY and their concerts are met to overwhelm your senses. Relax sit back and let the music and visuals take you away!Been listening to them since the "high times" of the early 1970's and it still takes me to another place...
I am 41 and found them when I was in my early teens back in the early/mid 90ies, going through local 2nd hand record stores in my hometown along with my best friend. I ended up being infatuated with them and bought everything they ever released. even bootleg releases and different versions etc.
My music taste has evolved and expanded alot since then, and I have seen hundreds and hundreds of concerts durig the past 3 decades... The definetly made me love exploring what music can be!
The best chill music Cheers
Welcome to the greatest band ever!!!!! I saw this concert in 1994 and, hands down, the GREATEST night of my life!
That’s the exact feeling I had listening to this song in my bedroom with the headphones on, and that was the album, the live performance is amazing
I'm an avid fan of Pink Floyd, but the title of "greatest band ever" is reserved on the top shelf, for The Beatles.

@@StaceyRPGReacts new subs 😎👍 Next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate sound of Thunder concert 1988 - 1990 ) 🎸🎶🎶
Pink Floyd are from a time when lyrics were important and musicianship served the song. It was about telling a story and conveying emotion. The late 60's to the late 70's was a very creative decade for music. This song and performance are a perfect representation of what people strove to do. Of course this performance was fairly recent but lucky us, Floyd still had it. Bands that have been around this long with members in their 60's, 70's, and 80's are going to get deep with it. They'll move you with their wisdom, energy, and life's experiences. It's awesome that young people are able to still get a taste of what we lived with. You were taken by surprise because today's music has a different purpose and approach. I'm not saying that's bad or good but there was no way you would have known this was possible unless it was played in your household growing up. So yay! You got to feel it.
I'm 72 and like so many others have listened to Pink Floyd from their beginning. Their library of music is second to none. They had a way to connect and draw any and every emotion possible. What you describe is what all of us have experienced - breath taking that never goes away. Enjoy this ride, it's one of the best you'll ever take
71 years old, right there with you.
I remember in the early 1970s I went to visit my cousin in Toronto and we did some LSD (orange barrel if memory serves): we were really tripping and he had me lie down so I could listen to this band he had discovered named ‘Pink Floyd‘ (he had a great sound system but no headphones) and he started playing ‘Careful with that axe Eugene‘ and when the scream came he turned the volume up to 11 and I don‘t really think I have ever fully recovered.
I'm 48 and I feel it.
Another 72 year-old here and I 100% concur.
73 year old here, been with Floyd since the first single March 1967. Saw them live for the first time November 1967, on the same bill as Jimi Hendrix. Have every album through to the Wall. Did not buy the final cut as by then they had lost me. Thank god The rest of the guys kept going when Waters left, another era, with two albums and of course the Pulse live album and DVD.@@lindsaymac01
This is an iconic performance. Wait until you listen to the entire album Dark Side Of The Moon, and you have to listen to the entire album in one sitting. According to Billboard, the album remained on its charts for a whopping 972 weeks (roughly over 18 years).
I was going to suggest that she sit in a dimly lit room, maybe a glass of wine by her side. Earphones on and listen - no just let the music take you away. Dark Side is beyond amazing.
What charts?! It is the greatest musical creation without them.
First solo is the second best live guitar solo ever. The second one is the best ever, period.
The first solo is just a warm up for the second one! I absolutely love it! 😁👍
I'm 64 and delighted that someone so young gets this sublime music. Go girl! And this is my favourite band by far. No one touches them. Let the music take you to another world ❤
hi stace ..a saw them in 87 at the dome in houston ..what a great gig ..and what a great era of music..to have lived it and follow the band album after album (lucky me)...keep up the good work ..to see your generation react like that ..makes me feel a little special ...it truly was awesome .. thank you
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a Pink Floyd show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both 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 told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. 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. Hard to explain how awesome that moment was in my life. 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. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold. All of us fortunate enough to have seen this show live were in a TRANCE.... MESMERIZED the entire show... as you can imagine. We walked out saying.... What did we just witness? That was out of this world incredible. The Red Fender Stratocaster he used for this concert in the Guitar Collector World is ....PRICELESS
Wow, Cynthia Fox and the mighty met - kmet, you just took me back big time 🤘🏻🤘🏻
She was so fine in all black leather at the show I shook her hand and I sat next to "Raul' The Remote Sound Man"@@Zoso-lz8ov
Amazing story. Brush with greatness!
thank you for relating your amazing Gilmour experience with us!
unforgettable!
Thanks for sharing such an amazing story and experience you had! What a Gem!
As you hear more and more of their music you will be transformed! Sorrow, high hopes, dogs, and virtually EVER SINGLE piece of music they created is brilliant. Their lyrics are of à wisdom that is well beyond their years. You're view of music and art just changed forever.
Every Pink Floyd song takes you to a place you didn’t know existed.
Although it’s a different place for each person, it’s also a place you want to revisit over and over again ! ❤️❤️
You’ve simply chosen the best live version of Comfortably Numb
I am also 71 and Pink Floyd were and still are one of my all time faves. We are so lucky to grow up with this great music!!!
The birth of a new Pink Floyd fan. They plug straight into your soul in almost every song. Listen to The Wall, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here ..... your density awaits
And DSOTM”
Glad you enjoyed it God created us and music so that it can deeply impact our soul and spirit.
Although the first guitar solo was outstanding, the second one is considered by most people, one of the two greatest guitar solos of all time.
Those are all super deep, if you are a new listener and want fun guitar and still very deep vocals, brain damage/eclipse will blow your mind. The whole dark side of the moon got remastered recently, the whole album is 45 minutes so it's an easy listen.
Staci, I’m 62 and have enjoyed this song since I first heard it many years ago. Seeing your reaction reminds me that there is a generation out there that still appreciates the art of fine music and musicians. Thanks
I'm 64 now and since i bought my first Record "Meddle" from Pink Floyd in 1971 (I was 11 Years old then) I swear there is not even one Day left without listening to Pink Floyd 🤩🤩
So it was amazing to see your Reaction to this today 😍 I have seen this concert live and 2 years after that I saw them live again. The last Time I saw Roger Waters live in Orlando Florida in 2022 ..... This Music comes from outer Space I always said 😂 .... so I can say, you will Love the Records "Dark side of the Moon", "Wish you were here", "Animals" and "The WALL" .... and all the other Records as well !!!! I can recommend it 100%
HAVE FUN GIRL 😃
I bought "Meddle" in 1972 when I was 15. "Echoes" changed my life in terms of music.
This is a masterpiece Stacey, you just experienced what true artistry and what it took to become a legend is all about. Their music is EPIC and surreal. Please check out more of their music. I do suggest "Time" as the next one. Nice reaction.
"Time" is a great one! I second this :)
"TIME" is a must. The lyrics are some of the most powerfully relatable words that have ever been set to music.
My husband said Wish You Were Here. Only because every time he hears it it reminds him of his dad. He spent 27 months 17 days in a Chinese POW Camp when he fought in Korea.
Comfortably Numb is one of the most extraordinary pieces of music ever composed. I always felt that towards the end, it became the funeral march of a lost and tormented soul. All of the anguish and regret of something glimpsed and lost is distilled and channeled into one extended searing cry. This never gets old. Ever. It speaks to something that we all know and cannot be expressed in any other way. This is why it touches you in the way that it does, Stacey.
Music - real music is a language all its own. Extraordinary musicians like David Gilmour can communicate their inner experiences as few can today. Gilmour’s guitar appears to be connected directly to his soul. Some musicians can manage that for a few moments. For Gilmour, it’s his natural state of being. It is unmistakable and cannot be faked.
Very astute and I recommend the David Bowie “Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise)” medley from the Diamond Dog album. I think you’ll experience it much the same way.
It's such a shame that the composer of the song isn't there. Floyd were never the same or as good after Roger Waters departure.
The year was 1977, was an 18 year old Army private in Germany. Didnt know jack about much. Found somemoney to but a stereo found Pink Floyd Pyramid Album never stoped listening.
Very well said, Ward. The song is a lamentation of the loss of childhood, dreams, caring, and a reality where any of that even matters.
You asked, "What was that?"
That was a master class of guitar soloing by one of the most talented and amazing musicians who's ever lived. I've never heard anyone who can make a guitar talk to you like David can. When I say "talk", his solos have a sentence-structure to them as if they're telling a story that your heart is compelled to listen to.
Well said.
And he didn't shred his guitar like most rock guitarists of the time.
This is EXACTLY what I've been trying to articulate for years about David Gilmore. His guitar solos sing to you in a language we all universally understand.
In Gilmour's big guitar solo, notice how the audience was absolutely still. Until near the very end, it was like they were at a classical music concert. So focused, just listening carefully. That was beautiful.
Spot on. I was at this exact concert 20/10/94 and I was in tears at the end of CN. I simply struggled to process it. It was almost spiritual. I cannot find any other words.
i got to witness that exact thing live 3 times. people respecting the music so much not wanting to miss a single note or visual.
I cry every time I hear the “When I was a child a caught a fleeting glimpse, I turned to look, but it was gone…the child has grown the DREAM IS GONE!!”
My wife and I have seen Pink Floyd three times. Once in the 70's, once in the '80s, and once in the '90s. No one puts on a show like them. Great reaction and thank you for not pausing during one of the greatest guitar solos of all times.
Pink Floyd has been for me one of the best bands of all time. It's not even music, it's an experience. It is a journey beyond the senses, a walk through the subconscious, a projection of your being towards the universe and beyond... it is a feeling so vivid that it is impossible to explain but it is easy to experience. This entire concert is a work of art and David Gilmour does without a doubt one of the longest but at the same time most beautiful solos you can ever hear. I'm glad to know that more people are listening and reacting positively to this band that, as I mentioned, is the best of all time.
👍👍💯💯
Seeing this performance Live was the greatest experience 5 years prior to this “ Pulse “ show. Veterans Stadium in Philly 1989 during the “ Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour among 70,000 amazed fans. B st concert among hundreds seen in my 63 years. Great reaction!! New subscriber.
Every so often I find another First Time Reaction to Comfortably Numb (especially this Pulse version), because there are dozens of reviews and every single time the reviewer is totally blown away. Your reaction was wonderful, so touching, the emotions taking me back to my first time. I've been listening to this track since it was released in 1979, and I must have played it literally hundreds of times and it NEVER GETS OLD. I find that unbelievable, most music I get sick of after a few playings but Pink Floyd and this track in particular just keep on being great.
Thank you so much for another sweet, sweet trip down memory lane.
This is your introduction to Pink Floyd!?! Man... this is actually my favorite song of all time. I cannot hear it without being moved to my core. Welcome to the fandom.
She has just witnessed the greatest guitar solo of all time. It rips yer ego out and hands it back to you
I'm a 60's/70's, kid, found Floyd in mid 70's high school. As a kid I tacitly knew of music but didn't have a radio, least carrying one around. I liked the Beatles since their Ed Sullivan show appearance in NYC in '64. My mom put my slightly younger brother and I in front of the TV (we were 4&5), proclaiming: "Remember this!" which I did! That started my music interests. As a very young teen, I bicycled to music/instrument stores to read, even copy lyrics of fav songs. My 6th grade book fair saw me order the complete Beatles Lyrics paperback - still have it!
Floyd's Dark Side imparted the same lasting memory as the Beatles did. Upon my first listen at a mid 70's teen party, I was sold! My 1950's oldies knowledge is still there - I call out band names and song titles during oldies commercials to sell compilations! My parents were still around then and marveled at my song knowledge. By the later 70's I was transformed into a Floyd fan.
Another benefit to my "broad, name that tune knowledge" enabled me to win concert tickets from radio station contests. I'd get a dozen of my friends into the same show on my wins! After each win, I'd call a friend and instruct them to get "their ticket" down at the radio station in town. I had a dozen people at this same Pulse Tour (NYC) you're playing, and so many others that I can't even count all the shows I've seen! It's not cheating it's just smart! lol
Lastly, it is said among Floyd fans, you never interrupt a Gilmore guitar solo, never! lol
The only time I saw PF live was the 1993 tour at Giants Stadium. That was over 30 years ago! I can still watch it to this day and still get goosebumps and emotional every time! That's the effect their material has on anyone watching even if for the first time. INCREDIBLE!!!!
I saw them in 1975 in Hamilton Ontario. Wish You Were Here first set. Dark Side of the Moon second set with Echos as the encore. That concert is actually posted here on UA-cam.
The Greatest Concert, EVER! Pink Floyd at Ivor Wynne Stadium, Hamilton, Ontario, June 28, 1975
I have no idea how many times I’ve heard this song and that solo, yet every single time the hair tingles on the back of my neck and tears well up in my eyes.
There may be more technically proficient guitarists, but NOBODY plays like David Gilmour. Every note he plays is pure emotion.
Yes! David is the master of phrasing, not a single note is wasted and not a single note is out of place. It’s kind of like listening to someone talking to you in a foreign language but yet somehow you know what they’re trying to say to you. And it’s positive, it’s encouraging, it’s empathetic and sometimes extremely grim.
That is the mastery of Comfortably Numb - it is a song that talks about the journey that we’ve all been on but would rather not discuss - over time, with each letdown, failure and disappointment you learn to shove the grief and hurt aside and just become numb to it. This song makes you think about life in an existential way, about how emotionally cut off you’ve let yourself become in order to watch your dreams die, your loved ones pass, and for the dice to just not roll your way time and time again. The first solo IMO is tears and farewell to the optimistic naivety of childhood, and the second solo is a commentary that ::waves hands around:: THIS is what your life has descended into. Cynicism, apathy, settling for scraps.
I decided to not continue to be numb a few years back. I now live a complete mental and emotional life experience. I laugh when shit’s funny, I cry when it’s sad and I’ve stopped shoving things down and now my life is lived externally. But there remains a lingering sadness because I used to shove my emotions into the spot where my hope lived, and now that I’ve expelled all that out of me, the chasm is still there, just fucking empty. No matter what you do, life tears a hole into you, and extracts things from you.
tl;dr This song is the best song ever, and David Gilmour is the fucking GOAT.
Absolute masterclass from Gilmour, still to this day, up there as one of the greatest songs & show ever made 🇬🇧
I'm 56, been listening to PF since the 80s. your reaction was perfect, it should make you cry. it should hurt a little to listen to it. and Comf Numb is just one piece of one amazing double album that you should listen to all the way through. Their catalog is incredibly deep, so much for you to explore.
Pink Floyd are one of those bands that stands alone in a genre of their own. In 100 years people will still be listening to them. I can't think of many bands like that, Led Zeppelin and Queen spring to mind.
Dire Straits perhaps?
The beatles?????
@@ronbr9792 Their manager admitted the 12,000 DS fans attending their concert at Wembley Arena would all have preferred to be across the road in the stadium watching Live Aid.
Great observation and I think you are right, Mozart, Beethoven…..Pink Floyd…awesome
I'm 51. I think this is the singular greatest moment in rock history. 40 years in and it never changes the way I feel listening to it.
David Gilmour...The greatest guitar solo in history. It leaves you absolutely breathless.
Jimmy Page dazed and confused live solo from tsrts vid is kick ass too.
Don't know if this is the greatest, but it certainly is one of the greatest... no question.
One of the greatest solos. No one can claim definitively because tastes vary, but for me that title goes to Tornado of Souls by Megadeth.
i love watching beautiful people being captivated and overwhelmed by this song......thank you, Stacey
What is so heartbroken for me, as a middle age man, is that the youngsters of today start listening to this amazing Masterpiece which came out 4 Decades ago, and in reality this legend of a guitarist, today is almost 80 years old, and still on the go
What's heartbreaking for me is that the singer blames Ukrainians for defending themselves against genocide and declares Taiwan as part of China. Waters has become a dangerous and influential contrarian and a complete parody of himself.
Yeh, wrong bloke mate. This was without Roger Water You are listening to Dave Gilmour. Opposite views on life.
@@Winter-CIG Roger Waters was not playing in this video. He is no longer part of PF. The guitarist is David Gilmour. Rogers Waters is a genius but now tripped into madness.
For more feels, On the Turning Away is great musically and lyrically it tells a potent story of how poorly humans can treat each other, but there's always hope to be better. Hard to go wrong with any song from the Pulse Concert, it's a master class in musical and visual creation. It's nice to know that after 50+ years, the younger generation can appreciate the beauty of this band. I've been listening to them since the late 70" and will listen to them till the day I leave this mortal realm.
There is Pink Floyd, and then there are the ordinary bands; the members of Pink Floyd seem more like wizards meticulously producing something, like scientists in a laboratory-something that cannot be described in words. They have the ability to make us cry simply by contemplating the beauty of the music they create. They've been my favorite band since my adolescence. I used to walk to school in 1998 listening to the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' on my Walkman. I had the opportunity this year to attend a concert by one of the band members, Roger Waters. I've never cried so much at a show. This band will always be very special to me.
I'm 72. Great to see young people discovering the music of our time. I've been listening to PF since 1969.
I don't think there's ever been a more epic moment in rock music than the ending solo here.
Best Ever!
Have you heard his song The Blue? Halfway through he plays and it's the best I've heard from him. He is without doubt the No 1 in the world.
@@trevorbryan3239 Great song but Echoes for me is his and their best work.
David Gilmour is literally one of the best guitar players the world has ever seen. Embrace his emotion, and yes he is a pretty good singer.
Yes along with Prince.
I love how emotional you are listening to this song; that’s what music should do, make you feel. This is one of the greatest tunes ever written, by one of the greatest bands ever formed.
I saw them on this concert tour in 1994 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. It was the greatest concert I've ever seen, by far. You need to listen to the entire live album, Pulse. The entire second set is the Dark Side of the Moon album.
When they played Wish You Were Here, the whole crowd sung along, word for word. That was about 90,000 people singing together.
Hello from Germany,
Thank you for your wonderful video. It expresses exactly how I feel about this Pink Floyd performance. It's indescribable, magical, out of this world.
I heard ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ on the radio for the first time when I was 7 or 8 years old. Of course, I couldn't speak English yet and didn't understand a word. But even then, the music triggered something in me that I still can't describe today. I then bought ‘The Wall’ with my pocket money as a child. Now I'm 52, I understand the lyrics...and the music of Pink Floyd still moves me today. When I hear David's guitar, when I hear David's voice, I get goose bumps. Pink Floyd goes so deep into the soul. You can't explain it. Even in over 50 years, the music of Pink Floyd has lost none of its magic. In my opinion, it will never be the same again.
Big praise for your channel. I enjoy watching it. Keep up the good work. :-)
Some people don't realize how emotional this song can make you. My favorite part of this video is watching the crowd just as the 2nd solo begins. It's almost like they're subconsciously waiting for greatness.
They are still, almost as one, no jumping around just standing in awe. I would not be surprised if everyone was breathing in unison and their hearts beating in time by the end.
Great observation and comment 👏👏🤘
...with bated breath.
You picked the absolute best version of this song. It seems like David does it differently every time, but in my opinion, this is the best guitar solo I’ve ever heard in my life.
Ofc she did, if you would look closer, she chooses to pick bands with biggest fan bases and songs with most views for her "first time reaction" :D Clever Girl
I couldn't agree with you more
Your heartfelt reaction did the song justice, as it is one of the greatest solos of all time, by one of the greatest bands of all time. Your line 'I feel like I'm floating' is exactly how I feel when I listen to them on my headset. Thank you, Stacey fpr putting yourself out there and trying to describe your feelings after that!
I saw the show live in '94 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, I was exactly 30 years old.
I have known Pink Floyd since the summer of '73 and my first contact was with the amazing The Dark Side Of The Moon, I was nine years old and I was struck forever: their music was imprinted in my flesh and in my "soul". They were the soundtrack of my life.
Then came Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Supertramp, Emerson Like & Palmer, King Krimson and so on up to classical music.
But leave Pink Floyd to the sky: they are the Gods, everything else flows below.
Congratulations for the video and your genuine reaction
Pink Floyd and especially this solo, hits you on a visceral level. It is virtually impossible not to be swept along on an emotional ride.
I was blessed to see them in Denver June of 94.
They played for about 3 hours, and I mean played, no talking,just music.
I am 60 and have always have been a faithful listener to Pink Floyd!!
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I was in high school here in North Carolina when this song first came out in 1979. I remember it well. My girlfriend and I at the time loved attending concerts. It was one of the things we loved doing together. My wife loved concerts as well during that time. There were a huge number of wonderful groups at the time and concerts were not very expensive to attend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Triumph, 38 Special, Foreigner, and many others. I can not describe to you what a wonderful time it was to be young then. We were happier, relationships were closer, life was more carefree, and the music was spectacular. My heart just aches that young people will not get to experience life as we did as teenagers in the 70’s/80’s. Our 4 adult children (28-33) are big fans of 70’s-80’s music like my wife and I are. It’s great, lol. Again, thank you so much for posting this video. It was a wonderful treat.
Welcome to the Floyd rabbit hole. You will be blown away many times by their songs.
If you like the harmonies, then you will absolutely love the song On the Turning Away from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert.
I saw both songs performed live and just incredible.
I was at the taping for the Delicate Sound of Thunder DVD in Uniondale Long Island. Best concert ever. Pink Floyd’s stage production and lighting is second to none.
The music our parents hated (I’m 69 now). I feel badly for them! The late 60’s and early 70’s was a magical time, to put it mildly. There were SO many phenomenal bands emerging to become the epic soundtrack of our lives. Glad you so thoroughly enjoyed this one…they don’t get any better! I suggest listening to these bands, as well: YES, ELP, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Doobie Brothers, Traffic, Blind Faith, Cream, Grand Funk, The Eagles, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, America, The Beatles, Bread, Genesis, The Who, Caravan, Wishbone Ash, Deep Purple, James Gang, Steely Dan, Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Uriah Heep, Focus, The Band, Derek & The Dominos, Fog Hat, Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Kansas, J. Geils Band, Elton John, Prince, Three Dog Night, etc.
Maybe if you had tried to listen to their music, they might have listened to yours. Both sides missed out. You are missing the obvious she took the time to listen to her parents music.
This was from the Division Bell Tour in 1994.
I saw them on that tour on April 14 in San Diego in Jack Murphy Stadium.
The crowd was 51,610 people. The average ticket price for the show was $30.
I basically had the worse seats in the house, 4 rows from the last row - furthest from the stage.
But still, it was the best concert I ever saw.
The big takeaways were the sound of Gilmour’s guitar and the light show.
I still can’t believe how good the band sounded from those terrible seats.
Thank you for the reaction. Great stuff.
Consider watching “Sorrow” live from the same (Pulse DVD) concert.
I saw them in Cleveland for Division Bell ,,,,great show. Philadelphia for Learning to Fly,,,,,💥💥💥👍😎
What I wouldn't give to go back in time and see them from the worst seats in the house! Glad you had the opportunity.
I caught the Division Bell tour at Arrowhead in KC. No concert before or since has lived up to the experience of that show.
Sorrow is actually my favorite performance from Pulse.
I was also there the concert was phenomenal! when the disco ball came down and i looked around the stage i could see those lights like stars! Best concert of my Life!!! even better than Roger Waters the Wall 2010 and i was at that one also.
But Pulse was the best of them all!
I saw the Pulse Tour in ‘94 at Tampa Stadium. From the moment we walked in when they had sound effects and lighting that made it seem like a helicopter was circling just outside the stadium, to the encore of Comfortably Numb…60,000 fans had our minds blown in the best possible way. I had seen them in ‘88 so I thought I was prepared. Nope! PF always has been, and always will be my favorite band. I never tire of them. Such a thrill to witness Stacy become a fan before our very eyes. Great videos btw Stacy! You are both genuine and polished. I’m rooting for you to go far in your online career 😁
I started loving Pink Floyd when I was 12 and I had nobody to share it with my entire youth. All of my friends thought it was boring after I've shown them a song. Even nowadays as a 34 year old, nobody of my friends appreciates it. That's why it feels great to see you like it, thanks!
There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with those guys man !
Same.. 12 was when my world changed and I was kinda alone with my admiration(besides my Dad who introduced them to me). I'm happy with my life but there are moments when I get bit sad to never hearing them live.. ever.. kinda my only regret? In life 😅
It's very moving for me to see your emotion. For me, this song and especially this Gilmour solo is the most beautiful page in the History of Rock. No one has ever done anything that comes close, not even Gilmour himself, before or since. It was so mesmerizing. God bless you, girl! Thanks!
I was there at Earls Court, with my two brothers. One of the best experiences of my entire life. If it wasn't for my eldest brother I'd probably never have listened to them either! I trust since your outward emotion you've listened to the full album (The Wall) I was just under the ball that opened up, right in the centre of the stage. David Gilmore is a musical God. Fingers and voice of an angel. Loving your channel by the way. ❤️❤️❤️
To see a young person moved to see a young person moved to tears by Pink Floyd really warms my 50-year-old heart. I’m moved to tears too.. not just by Pink Floyd, but by seeing how their music speaks to someone’s soul. This was a great reaction Stacey, and you’ve got so many wonderful videos on your channel. I love how 'real' your reactions are. I’m subscribed! keep feeling the music!
I'm 60 and grew upon this music !!! It's awesome to see someone in your generation appreciating such incredible music. I was in high school and this song brings back memories and is very emotional for me also. Great reaction.
There's nothing like hearing them for the first time, but even after hearing them hundreds of times they are no less amazing. This is the music I grew up on and they will always be one of my favorite bands.
You will be even more moved by their song "On the turning away" More phenomenal vocals and soaring instrumentals. Enjoy! They were dubbed as the "Wizards of rock" back in the 70's.
I agree if she loved this she'll love On the Turning Away.
Gorgeous live performance as well.
Also agree, another massive track and emotional solo.
This song is what actually helped me heal my relationship with my dad. I meditated while listening to this song and remembering all the pain my dad live through in his life, which led him to become “Comfortably Numb,” and in turn crumpled in the floor into a crying mess. When I got up again by the end of the song I felt like Gilmour’s guitar solo had literally re-arranged my emotions and my perspective toward my dad and made me regain my empathy towards him. A week or so later I called him and told him I forgave him for everything he did, and we’ve been talking more and more ever since then. Thanks David Gilmour & Floyd, because of you guys there is no more pain, it’s receding, and I can love my old man again ❤️.
This was the best reaction video I've ever seen. Truly emotional and sincere. 💖
Comfortably Numb is such an incredible sound, with touching chords and melodies that provoke a strong emotional reaction. Brilliant musical arrangements and the best guitar solo of all time. 🤘
You're jealous of anyone who saw the live performance of this song, and I'm jealous of anyone watching this masterpiece for the first time. 😉
This is my favorite song, and I've certainly heard it thousands of times. Even live, thank you God for that. 🙏
Wow! Thank you for your sweet words 🫶🏻
@@StaceyRPGReactsI remember when Dark Side of the Moon came out.
I could not stop playing it.
NOBODY gets black Sabbath today, as they do not understand the back drop when sweet leaf was released.
I agree with the majority, Stairway to Heaven is the greatest.
Studio versions of" time "and "great gig in sky "from dark side of the moon are worth the experience actually whole album is classic .
I was here!!! It was truly unbelievable, people could honestly not believe what they were witnessing, we walked out of that concert in total silence.....Still the best gig I've ever been to
I remember that too. Most concerts people walk out of in a rowdy mood, ready to do some post-concert partying. But people walking out of Pink Floyd concerts are.....reverent. And still trying to process what they just witnessed.
Jealous! But fortunately the whole concert is out there, for all to enjoy
Think of the billions of people to come before us, and you were in the right place at the right time to get to see this. I won't lie I'm very jealous
