That was IT! Your reaction was exactly right. Face-melting, soul-wrenching, heart-rending, love-inducing, brain-freezing, smile-freezing guitar. Listen to it as many times as you want, it does the same thing every single time.

Nick Mason - the drummer, is very capable but never shows off, he just adds exactly what the song requires.

Imho, David Gilmour is the best guitarist that ever walked on Earth, the only way I can describe this solo is like... the pure sound of sorrow, sadness, but soothing, like... "giving up to the pain" I don't know (and probably I'll never do) is how David can make his guitar wail, cry, scream, laugh and so much more, this guy is a genious, maybe I'm too biased, because this is my favorite band, thank you tons for this reaction!

No, Nick Mason is not a flashy or exciting drummer but he perfectly fits the presentation for Pink Floyds music. His drumming is spectacularly understated while at the same time becoming an integral part of the performance. He makes the drums a key part of each song. They themselves become more than merely a means to keep time. They actually accent and highlight many places during each songs performance. The PF sound would be noticeably different with someone else behind the kit. His kit is put together to handle the various needs of their catalog.

There was no pulse tour or a delicate sound of thunder tour , they were commercial recordings of two tours . A momentry lapse of reason tour and division bell tour ( final two Pink Floyd albums post Roger waters )

The emotion and soul he puts into that solo is utterly mind blowing. He gets more out of a few notes than some guitarists get out of 100 mph soloing.

This song has an emotional pull & a weight to it that affects people in a very visceral way (yours would not be the only tears)... maybe because we're all, to some degree, damaged. Pink Floyd managed to tap into this emotion, especially with "Comfortably Numb."

If you wanna experience the magic Nick Mason can produce, try their Echos live concert in Pompeii . An outstanding piece of musical creation.

Greatest "Band" solo every. Every instrument had it place, the drums taking the lead as the guitar dwarfed for several counts, a few times, the bass carrying the load from underneath, and the intermittent keys showing up to assist the guitar, meshed with the visuals, created a gloriousness not seen very often in our lives.

The solos in this song have so much emotion behind them it almost brings tears to my eyes. Very rare a song can make me feel so much.

Yes, their light shows were spectacular. Only because it had to match their music. I was lucky to see a performance of the wall in Dortmund, Germany in 1981. Then in Wembley, London, England in 1988, which was similar to the show here. Not much else to say. They are a band of a lifetime.

David Gilmour is a legend. This one of the greatest guitar solo ever, I get chills every time. Other songs you can check out are "Time", "Shine on you crazy diamond", "Wish you were here" and "Another brick in the wall" (coincidentally Korn did a cover of it which you could check out also)

Still get chills after thirty years listening to that solo

The background of the song is very interesting. It was written by Roger Waters, one of the founding members of Pink Floyd though he had left the band by the time this version was recorded...it was about an experience he had while touring with the band and being treated for hepatitis. He was in a lot of pain right before a show; rather than cancel, they brought in a...less than entirely ethical doctor, who pumped him up with painkillers. He then performed the show feeling his body steadily going numb, feeling like his hands were swollen up like balloons. The music captures that dreamlike quality perfectly; absolutely amazing song, so glad you shared your reaction with us!

"I can't feel my face" So is it... comfortably numb...? Sorry, I couldn't resist 😅 But seriously, with the death of many languages and evolution of others, I feel like the greatest language is that of music.

Pink floyd is music that builds bridges between generations.

When people mention purely melodic, non-shred guitar solos, this is typically at the top of the list. Gilmour is the master of devastatingly effective note selection.

There is no stupid smile on your face, it´s just a an honest reaction! Loved it!

Anybody who has ever been to a Floyd show knows that the best seats are in the center-back of the arena so you can get the full effect of their amazing light show (the best). David Gilmour is the only guitarist that can move grown men to tears (except for Nigel Tufnel, who was Gilmour's greatest influence). There are many videos of Gilmour live on KZread both with Floyd and on his own, and every solo has some differences. You can spend a whole evening watching them because they are all unique in their own way. Best ever.

This track will last for hundreds of years ❤

Pink Floyd is Legendary, they are a Vibe! I've been a Pink Floyd fan since the release of their iconic "Dark Side of the Moon" album in 1973, I was 17 years old. Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1964, they have sold over 400 million albums worldwide! Pink Floyds music is trans-like, it takes the listener on a cerebral journey with every song. The Pink Floyd listener "feels" Pink Floyds' music as well as listening to it, and a big part of that is David Gilmours' vocals and his unequaled guitar style! Not to even mention the incredible light and lazar shows that go into every live performance. I've seen them live twice, on two different world tours in the late 70s and in 1980, and both times it was nothing less than astonishing! There are soooo many great Pink Floyd songs at this 1994 Pulse Concert at Earls Court in London, it would be a great way to start the Pink Floyd journey,... if you decide to go down the Pink Floyd Rabbit Hole. Lol. At this 1994 concert, only 3 people onstage are Pink Floyd band members, they're the 3 older guys,.. David Gilmour, (lead vocals, guitar), Rick Wright, (vocals, keyboards), and Nick Mason, (drums, percussion). The rest of them are touring musicians, although some of them have been with Pink Floyd for a number of years. If you DO decide to go down the Pink Floyd Rabbit hole, you're in for a phenomenal musical experience, unequaled by any other Rock band in history, imo.

Your listening to one of the greatest if not THE greatest of all time !! Count yourself lucky !!! I am 73 years and in all my years of music have never heard a more accomplished artist !! Keep it up. Kudos !!!!

By far, BY FAR, the best reaction I've seen so far!!!!

you can tell this music is life changing...people sitting motionless absorbing every single note.

115,000 did that in Cleveland in 1994. Never heard of a place with that many people so absolutely quiet at one time in my life. I was one of em.

I'm 63 and that is the kind of music in my generation. To see this young ladies reaction is priceless. You'll not see live concerts like the due to the fact they're too old or dead. Rock is not dead, it will always live on.

Floyd was one of my favorite concerts. No one & I mean no one comes close to them.

David Gilmore may not be the fastest guitar player, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that sounds better. So smooth and soulful. Absolutely mesmerizing

Buried our son to this song, he was only 26, taken by a drunk-driving incident, his friend was the driver. This was Logan's & his Mum Tina's favourite song & band of all time. RIP Logan & Tina To me, Pink Floyd is mind expandingly, beautiful music!

So sorry to hear that. Your family will be in my thoughts and I'm glad there's some comfort to be found in this music.

For me the first time hearing David Gilmore solo during comfortably numb live is the realisation "this is a genius, I'm in the presence of a genius" it stops you in your tracks given the right emotional state this man can reduce you to tears, but it's a cleansing experience. I think I saw that realisation in your face as the solo progressed. Great chanell. 👍 💙

I saw this tour live 30 years ago this May. Still to this day the greatest concert I've ever been to. High mark set at 15 years old! Like $42 to boot! It drives me nuts when this song is played on the radio and they fade out the entirety of the most epic guitar solo ever and then call themselves a rock n' roll station. If I were ever a DJ I'd quit before ever ending that solo early if on-air.

David's best solo ever. The best guitarist of all times. 😊

My favorite band. One of the greatest songs ever. This whole album is fantastic. Dark side of the moon is up there as well

Get to know the lyrics as a conversation between a doctor and a patient who is really in bad shape physically and mentally but also so far gone that he's numb. The lyrics are so expressive, so well sung, and then, AND THEN the guitar says things the words cannot, an extension of the words that's pure raw emotion but exactly in step with what the words said. This has to be one of the greatest songs ever written and performed.

Pink Floyd started in the Psychedelic era of the 60s. While few were paying attention, Pink Floyd quietly opened up another dimension of music that provoked the psyche & pierced the soul.

I was lucky enough to see them on this tour. Seeing this concert in person was life changing. Check out something from their live at Pompeii to see a younger version of the band doing what they do.

Actually , the original “Live at Pompeii” from 1972(?) with the four band members was followed up 44 years later with a Pompeii concert in 2016. David Gilmour returned to Pompeii for an invitation-only concert at the ruins.

Yusss!!! Stoked to see this one.

As a lifelong Floyd fan, I can tell you that you've picked THE best version possible 👌🏻 I dunno if you were told that beforehand, but you got the gold here. And their light show gets the biggest chef's kiss possible.. I could watch NSYNC if I got lights like this 🙈 .. the entire Pulse concert that version of Comfortably Numb is from is worth a watch just cuz of the lights... they get CRAZIER than they do on this particular song 🤤

The lights don't make the song version better and the original version is better as it has Rodger Waters vocals on it.

The Most Beautiful Guitar Playing of all time !!!!!

David Gilmour is the guitar solo GOAT, and you only have to watch this performance to know that. Yes, you are right, in fact Pink Floyd pioneered this sort of stagecraft with the elaborate light shows and first surround sound quadraphonic concert by inventing the "Azimuth Coordinator" in 1967. For 30 minutes prior to the band coming on stage they played nature sounds in quadraphonic. They were first in elaborate lightshows with programmed intelligent light systems and state of the art lasers, by 1994 they introduced isotope-splitting copper-vapor lasers. These gold-colored lasers were worth over $120,000 a piece and previously had only been used in nuclear research and high speed photography. On and on they pioneer gear and stage performance first pyrotechnics, giant mirror balls, 'Mr. Screen' to show video on, etc.

You can hear DAVID GILMORE'S influence in ADAM JONES (TOOL) guitar playing

This is my all-time favorite piece of recorded music. If I could only ever listen to one song for the rest of my life, it's this one. Every note is like an old friend.

Nick Mason never goes off so to speak. I'm sure he'll readily admit he's no John Bonham. That little moment where the keyboard player leans over to hit those chimes sums it up perfectly. They're all amazing musicians. His kit allows him to do those blink and you miss them almost forensic details to their music. They were masterful.

I saw this live in 1994 and no concert before or since comes close to this and while I’m grateful there is video of it to watch it also is no where close to the experience of seeing it live. David Gilmour is the GOAT. Edit - to answer your question, the epic solo is about 4.5 minutes 10:26 to 14:56

If you want to hear something very special, listen to the ALBUM VERSION OF GREAT GIG INTHE SKY. That is the only version that does it for me because it was impossible to fully recreate. I always loved that version of the song, and only that version. It was like a magical moment of inspiration on the part of the singer they brought in to sing a solo. Clare Torry was requested to sing on their studio version. She has a great story about that just happened by chance. I don’t think was even familiar with the band, or they with her. When she got to the studio, they just asked her to use her voice like an instrument and that was all the direction she got. She improvised a legendary solo that could never be duplicated by other singers. I think it was her one and only time singing with the band. It’s a great story and I’m probably no doing it Justice. But if you listen to the album version you will understand what they captured that one time in the studio. Magic.

The album version is stunning, absolute soulful, sensual beauty. You did a good job explaining the song. The album's engineer, Alan Parsons, knew Clare Torrey, so he knew the talent, but who could ever have known how stunning the performance would be.

Finally Pink Floyd, I was waiting for you to react to them, please do them more!

I discovered your channel tonight, I don't know what to say but watching you react to music has marked deeply. Watching your raw emotion I can feel it in my soul....I want more, I want ALL the playlists presented like this, i could watch forever. More More More. Would love to see you listening to Goodbye blue sky, one of my favorite Floyd songs. You are a gorgeous soul. Thank you

And to see them live.....It was out of this world.

Nick Mason is one of the most under appreciated drummers of all time. In the “Live at Pompeii” dvd during the recording of “One of these Days” he loses a stick and gets a new one without missing a beat. Absolutely incredible.
