Arguably yes, it absolutely is sensational, but so is the TSRTS Stairway, or Duane Allman on Dreams, or again Page 's Since i've been Loving You on TSRTS, or Gilmour on Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Honestly i don't think there is a best, Clapton on White Room or Crossroads, then you can move on to Jeff Beck. Its very personal, and that again can depend on your mood.

this performance reduces grown men to tears the guitar is so beautiful u can feel the pain

Great reaction - Pink Floyd is not just music, they give you a whole experience. Generally you should listen to a whole album in one sitting as the songs will often run from one into the next. I have heard it said that Dave Gilmour, the lead guitarist, can get more feeling and emotion from one note than most guitarists can get from a whole song. This version of 'Comfortably Numb' at the Pulse shows was definitely a good one for you to hear him and Pink Floyd for the first time.

Love it ❤❤❤

When I was in my early teens and learning to play guitar, this song was released as a single here in the United States and was all over the radio. It was this song that made me want to learn how solos and melodies work. I still think it's the best guitar solo ever, partly because it's not about going fast but emotion and creating a theme in the solo.

Hi, the smile on your face was perfect, you have just listened to the best guitar solo of all time, i have been a Floydy for 50 yrs now. i flew from Australia to the UK just for that concert. your journey into Pink Floyd has just started. each album is a journey and each track on that album is a new road on that journey. Dave Gilmour can make a guitar, talk sing and cry, all at the same time. enjoy the experience. 😁😁😁

You really get it. I could see it in your face. They are one in a million. Music that goes down to your soul. They never get old. Only better with time. At 63 I still think their great since listening to them the first time in the early 70s. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful song with us all. 😎

David Gilmour is famous for playing so much with so few notes. He holds onto the notes and lets them just play out. Pure emotion and based in blues.

This guitar solo has been rated in many polls as the best of all time and I agree. It's incredible what David Gilmour can do with his Stratocaster. It always hits you right in the heart. There are many versions of this song here on KZread (and I've probably seen them all) and notice that David always plays the first solo the same but the second solo is different every time. And it's a real treat every time! And in many other songs Gilmour proves what a fantastic guitarist he is. "Sorrow" (from the Pulse concert), "Marooned" (original video), "Coming Back to Live" (original video), "Echoes" (Live at Pompeii), "Time" (studio version), "Mother" or my favourite "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" (original animated video) and more and more - these are all songs that if you listen to, you will never leave Pink Floyd. You'll find that Pink Floyd is not just a musical group but a philosophy of life. The combination of Roger Waters' profound lyrics (from the pre-1968 era) and the impeccable instrumentation of Barrett, Mason, Wright and Gilmour is timeless and familiar. Whoever it hits, it never lets go. I'm a shining example of this and I'm glad that even today's young people are returning to true "classical" music... Please excuse my English - I'm from the Czech Republic. I wish you all the best in these hectic times. And just a little warning for future reference: if you don't want to annoy true Pink Floyd fans, never (NEVER!) pause the video during a guitar solo. It's a mortal sin ;-).

Best concert I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a ton. The Wall Tour 1978 was beyond outstanding. When Gilmore did Comfortably Numb the crowd was in awe. An eerie dead silence. It was more than a mere live concert, it was a production

I stood 20 ft from David and the boys as they played this song in 1988 on the Delicate Sounds of Thunder tour. Along with 20,000 other people, it was damn near a religious experience. With Margaret Taylor and Rachel Flame doing the harmonies it sounded like angels singing. What a magical night it was, final song of the night was Run Like Hell which rang in our ears for hours as we slowly left the concert.

It's called the Gilmour ( yes this is the proper spelling of his surname) effect. When people can't agree on what is better a flash shredding guitar solo or an emo bending Gilmour guitar solo. The middle guitar solo is regarded by many of his peers as the greatest solo ever. The production value that goes into pink floyd music including live is the best you will ever hear. No one tops them.

I was 21 years old in 1979, the year that the album The Wall, which had this track on, was released. This is one of my most favourite songs of all time. This performance of it, is truly epic and it's such a pleasure to have observed you as you watched it. I gave it another dimension watching someone have the reaction to it that I have. I have always listened to it alone as It always makes me weep. I am 64 years old now and as I write this, it still has the same effect. If anything it is much more poignant now as the years have had their way with me. It is a reminder to me that I am not alone in the universe. From now on, I shall always say 'ambiance' in the way that you say it, in your native French. It sounds so much nicer than we say it here in the UK. We probably appropriated it from the French language anyway. Please consider me as 'subscribed' and a supporter. With very best wishes...

David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist, and I was fortunate to see him on his solo tour in 2016, where he performed so many Pink Floyd classics, along with his solo work. The Pulse concert from 1994 is an amazing musical and visual experience, and I also recommend you check out 'Sorrow' from Pulse. Another great Gilmour guitar solo is featured in the song 'On the Turning Away' from the Pink Floyd 1988 Delicate Sound of Thunder tour.

I was at Earls Court on one of the nights of this tour. The wall of sound was breathtaking, literally. Been a fan since the early 70s, their music still blows me away.

The Entire concert is breathtaking. "the great gig in the sky" is amazing.

more floyd please. great guitar? *money *time *dogs *hey you *shine on you crazy diamond ... and oh so many more.

Easily my favorite band of all time, they've had a couple of of lineups over their career but the core group was always spectacular. I would recommend listening to all of their albums in order so that you can get the full picture for each one

Honestly I am so happy you reacted to this masterpiece Pink Floyd is my No.1 psychedelic rock band in the entire world. So I am so happy you got to experience such an amazing performance.

Nick Mason was a fabulous drummer. He wasn't "flashy" like Neal Peart, but he was the heartbeat of all Pink Floyd songs. Guy Pratt was on bass guitar and was really good. Richard Wright could do things on the keyboard that nobody else had ever done. Then there is David Gilmour and his masterpiece solos and vocals. I knew what a steel guitar sounds like in country music, and until I heard David use it with their hit, High Hopes, I never imagined that it could be used in rock music. But that was Pink Floyd. Doing things that nobody else thought about doing, and making it work. They were ahead of the times in many ways, and their music is timeless.

The best way I’ve heard it said was: Leo Fender gave the world The Stratocaster, but David Gilmour gave it a soul. Great reaction! Look forward to more Pink Floyd content!

For those who do not know where the name “Pink Floyd” came from…… Syd Barrett - original founder of the band had two favorite Blues Guitar Players in his record collection, two black men, “Pink Anderson and Floyd Council”. One came from North Carolina, (Pink) the other came from South Carolina, (Floyd).

I just love the fact you feel the music in the way it is supposed to be felt... from the heart.

The greatest guitar player for this genre of music ever !!! Halleluja !!!!

I saw the “Pulse” concert in 1994 at Veterans stadium in Philadelphia, PA. It blew away to this day, when that 30 ft diameter Disc Ball came down it was truly mind blowing.

I have no idea how many times I've heard this song it has to be in the hundreds. It always sounds brand new every time. David Gilmour is one of if not the best guitar player in the world.

Your first reaction ("I've never seen a guitar like that") was the first time I realised - we never get to see David Gilmour until his first solo a full minute and a half into the song. Yes the word is 'ambiance'. Pink Floyd were famous for their light show. The first time I ever saw Pink Floyd was when late-night TV ran the entire 'Pulse' concert - it was the lights that grabbed my attention, then the music caught hold of me and I couldn't turn it off. I became a Pink Floyd fan overnight.

June1994 RCA Dome Indianapolis. Had 4 front and center row seats. During the beginning of One of these Days. We turned to see the pigs come out of the tower speakers. Dave was staring at us when we turned back he had a big grin on his face. That was truly bad ass! Every thing you ever heard about Pink Floyd is true. Best show I ever saw!!!

Pink Floyd really cut it for me. Superb musicians. I love your accent, I could listen to you talk all day. Love, light and peace ❤

Thought you'd enjoy this epic piece of guitar work. I saw them live in 1975 and 1989 and they always put on a hell of a live show. One of the first bands to use lightshows of any description, back in the 60's. Other epic songs with great guitar work from Gilmour would have to include 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and 'Wish You Were Here', though there are at least 6 superb albums and a few more very interesting ones but the one to turn the lights off, relax and lose yourself in for 45 minutes would be the album 'Dark Side Of The Moon'. It was made 49 years ago last week and I think it's been on the Billboard 100 albums charts ever since. Also worth watching the incredible song 'Echoes', played live at Pompeii, Italy, which is a masterpiece. Also David Gilmour's solo albums have some superb songs and, as always from David, incredible guitar work.

They play tracks from practically every album they've made & they do the full Dark Side of the Moon album as well...it's a Must!! Watch it all, get blown away by the Best Band of all Time!!

Quite possibly the greatest live guitar solo ever played. And I mean ever.

Fantastic reaction to "Comfortably Numb". I see someone else recommended "Sorrow" from the same concert. I totally agree. You might also like to try "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "One of These Days", also from the PULSE concert. I hope you enjoy them, and please keep on reacting.

You owe it to yourself to watch the whole Pulse concert, even if not for your channel, set up in a dark room with your favourite drink and just let the whole thing roll over you. Otherwise you might want to just look out Sorrow and The Great Gig In The Sky from the same concert.

In 1994, I took my mother to see the Floyd. A few months later she passed away of a heart attack. But I still remember her look of total happiness and I'm proud I got to take her there. She was in love with Gilmour, and my father understood. No jealousy. He was happy I took her to see them.

I was at the Pulse tour concert in New Orleans. The music was spot on! But, the light show and the video played on the large circular disc above the band (it was vertical for most of the show) was perfectly in sink with the music. At the show I saw, the large ball that opened was spinning and had tiny mirrors on the insides of the leaves which were being hit with green lasers from multiple directions producing millions of green lights on the audience as it rotated. The combination of the music and lighting effects have never been equaled in my opinion!!!! That was in 1995!

Half of a Pink Floyd concert is the light show. I saw them the first time in 1969 and they had a great light show even back then,and they only got better with time.

Been listening to this for forty years, it Never gets old

I have said it on one of your other reaction videos, and I will say it again here: It is very heartwarming to see someone of your generation react to "old" music in this way. You genuinely enjoy this music, unlike other reactors who just do it for the views, and that makes people of my age very happy. Big grin, shiny eyes, playing air guitar, you really dig this.

I was lucky to have seen this tour my senior year of high school. I've never heard of Pink Floyd striking anyone on KZread.

David Gilmour is one of the greatest guitarists, he feels what he plays and to see Pink Floyd live is just amazing. Comfortably Numb is one of my favourite tracks, love the musicality and complexity of Pink Floyd at their very best. When I went to Pompeii to see David Gilmour's Rattle that Lock in 2016, to see the feelings of his playing. just magical. Well worth watching the full video of the concert, enjoy.

Have seen them twice (including this concert).....a spiritual experience is the best description.
