That ending guitar solo brings out every emotion in me. Pain, sadness and joy. I'll be honest, every time I hear it it brings tears to my eyes. That truly is the greatest guitar solo of all time.

The second solo is considered by many to be the greatest guitar solo ever. When the disco ball comes down and opens up, in the middle is a diamond, a nod to Syd Barrett.

I was at Vanderbilt stadium as well. Fan of Floyd’s since 1973.
Pink Floyd was not ahead of their time. They created their own time and space. Pink Floyd helped my spirit and soul develop as a young girl in the 70s. I feel like they are a part of me and I know my life would be different if they weren’t with me on my journey. When it’s my time to leave I take solace knowing they will be with me.

Everyone sees further by standing on the shoulders who went before. Roger Waters felt the same when he heard Sgt Peppers for the first time. Without Sgt Peppers we would never have got Dark Side of the Moon. But why did artists give up climbing the heights in favour of lesser things? Punk was at its height when the Wall came out.

No if ands or buts, they are the greatest band ever.🔥🔥💯💯
That guitar solo! Speaks to me in a way words can't. Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Thanks for the reaction bro!

That's probably the best description of an indescribable sound!
Greatest guitar solo of ALL TIME.
David Gilmore knows why he is here . He’s pursued that destiny everyday of his life . Many of us learned how to play an instrument but to be blessed with the creative mind required to put together such masterpieces is otherworldly . Maybe he can’t see it , being on the inside looking out , but to the rest of us , this is the eighth wonder of the world . I never had the privilege of seeing them in concert . Now that brief moment is gone . I don’t miss many concerts anymore .
The greatest version of the greatest guitar solo. Moves me every time.
I was raised on this music, and I can say I was truly blessed to have be born early enough to experience it.
" Imagine beeing there..." you say?! I was there !!! It was the money best spent in my intire life. It was stratospheric, it was magical, it was a mix of fellings, to explain Pink Floyd, it's to try to explain the universe !! They are legends.

Art like this is timeless and will be enjoyed for countless generations. Think about it, in 500 years and in 1000 years, kids will be mind-blown by Pink Floyd. I truly believe that, and 1000 years is not even a stretch.
The note he hits at 10:57 is the most beautiful note ever played in a live performance imo.
I was there :) The real highlight was the encore: They played the entire Dark Side Of The Moon with all the original screen footage in the 2nd half (special note goes to One of these days with double pigs and the plane crashing into the tower earlier in the concert) I might also mention, for 2 days before the concerts (they sold out 4 nights there) there were 'warnings' of UFO's flying over London on Radio 1 (kudos to Simon Mayo) , and one the first night part of the seating scaffold collapsed on one side of the arena: David Gilmour personally went to the hospital to visit every fan who was injured.

You're right - I truly believe that Pink Floyd will still be listened to a hundred years from now. Not routinely for most, but they will be studied in music classes and held up as the premier example of prog rock, and the amazingly creative period of music that was the 60's - 80's, and there will still be those who light one up while drifting away on some PF. People still listen to Mozart - PF is my Mozart.

David rips his heart and soul, serves it directly to ours, deeply out of deepness and leaves us rethinking our existence. This is how the music is supposed to speak to us.
if you have ever heard the phase, "the skies lit up like a Pink Floyd concert." Then you know that person saw a hell of a light show.

I was there too, stage left about three rows up, I was out with the fairies most of the concert but THIS...................wow.
One of the Greatest Rock Performances ever, possibly the GOAT Rock guitar solo too! Certainly, with all the lasers, incredible light show, phenomenal musicianship and the level of production here, and everything else is off the charts! It sounds Sooo good and it's 1994, no Autotune or computers or any crutch of any kind, they did it all right in front of you! Just a note: There are only 3 actual members of Pink Floyd here onstage, in fact there were only 3 members of PF from 1985, (when Roger Waters quit the band) up until 2008 when Rick Wright died from Cancer. It's easy to tell which ones they are, they're the 3 old guys, lol,... David Gilmour, (guitar), Rick Wright, (keyboards, and Nick Mason, (drums). The other musicians onstage are Pink Floyds' touring band for that time or that tour'. Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1964, so this Pulse Concert is 30 years later, so PF guys are all in their late 40s and early 50s. Check out "Sorrow" from the same 1994 Pulse Concert, another great guitar solo from David Gilmour. There are so many from that Pulse Concert on KZread and they're all unbelievably great, like "High Hopes", "Money", "Learning to Fly", and many more.
With a band like Pink Floyd that sounds this good live you can't go wrong a live performance. I've seen them live a few times and every time they sounded this good. Delicate Sound of Thunder is another great concert video that is well worth a listen.
I am truly blessed!!! I got to see them live in concert. TWICE!!!!!!
It truly doesn't get better than Pink Floyd. My day doesn't feel right if I don't listen to some Pink Floyd. I'm so glad you found them, it only gets better from here. Doesn't sound possible but you'll see. 🌈💗✌🏽

I listen to them daily. Keep waiting to get tired of them, but it hasn’t happened in 40+ years!
Pink Floyd is amazing. Aren't they? My favorite band for 50 years now.
From the same PULSE CONCERT, check out SORROW and also RUN LIKE HELL (for Run Like Hell, be sure to fasten your seat belt).
This is, by far, one of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard. So powerful and passionate.
My HS graduating class of '79 voted "Another Brick In The Wall" and "Comfortably Numb" as our favorites. I'm almost 62 now and nothing has changed. What an iconic rendition.
If you want to hear and see them at their peak of musicianship, you should watch the "Live at Pompeii" concert. They recorded it in the 70s during the period they wrote Darkside of the Moon and Meddle.
Best guitar solo ever played on this planet! For more Pink Floyd live at „Pulse“: I recommend „High Hopes“, „Keep Talking“ and „Shine on you crazy diamond“!
The emotions and chills throughout my body on that last guitar solo are overwhelming!! Bravo!!
What I love most about this video is the shots showing the crowd and they’re all just hypnotized lol
First Rule, Never pause during a Gilmour solo. Second Rule..NEVER take your eyes off of the performance. Pink Floyd is the only band that can perform studio quality at a concert. Every song performed at this concert is exactly like this one
This song is like a religious experience- in the last part of the guitar solo makes you feel like your raising up into the heavens!!! Amazing!! Great reaction!!
One thing I never see get any credit is the lighting Pink Floyd uses. It reinforces the music so much. Just like with this song, it makes you feel like you're falling into the madness yourself. Many bands are considered timeless, but Pink Floyd transcends them all.

I was at this concert in Earl's Court, London. The gig was pulled just as the intro for SOYCD was building up for the opening of the show due to a seat collapse. Some injuries but no fatalities thank goodness. We were told to keep our ticket stub and came back two weeks later and they blew us away. Mind you, I was caned off my head on weed as were my friends and it seemed the whole audience! Magical. A moment in my life I'll remember forever
The greatest guitar solo in the history of Rock and maybe in history period.
I was lucky enough to be at this and another 6 concerts of pink Floyd in the 80's 90's and 00's The FIRST GIG I ever went to was Pink Floyd at Wembley Stadium. I was lucky enough to win tickets for Live8 so saw the last performance when they reunited with Roger So wonderful to relive here

"Can you imagine being there?" I was my friend and it was awesome! Earls Court October 1994!
Pulse IMHO is the greatest live (Rock) concert of all time
The big disco ball is highly symbolic. First of all, it wasn't seen until the lights spotted it. It was simply not there! Hidden in a box in the ceilling. So when it got lit, you can understand why the audience went wild. And then, when it opened up and showed the shining diamond that's inside, a direct reference to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (which refer to Syd Barrett), the fans understood! Genius!
One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. It does my old heart good to see a young man enjoying the music of my generation. Welcome aboard.
This is an epic masterpiece. Nobody can give the almost ethereal vibes that Pink Floyd does. Their music pulls you in and pervades all your senses. It’s almost like an altered level of consciousness. 😌🔥🤩
This was a feast for the eyes as well as the ears ! Truly a wonderful performance and you can only imagine what it was like to be there on that historical night!
I was at The Division Bell Tour on May 29th 1994 when the were Columbus at the Horseshoe Stadium. It was absolutely perfect. Well worth it!!!
Can you imagine being there? I was. Left side about 6 rows up . I can't describe what it's like to be with 30,000 spellbound people.
This sublime song with its unbeliviable guitar solo was the "encore" of their show. I was at the Chantilly Hippodrome on the north of Paris in 1994, and this music, this fabulous light-show, this terrific sound were not just a concert : it had been a miracle which today brings me the same emotion than 30 years before...
You said it right : Goosebumps … that is what I get every time I hear this guitarsolo , just out of this world !!
I said to my girlfriend: “you’re listening to the second best guitar solo ever “. She asks “what’s the best solo?” I looked at her with tears in my eyes and said “it’s going to start in about a minute”
Saw these guys 2 nights in a row in Oakland on this tour. AWESOME. Dude just comes out in a simple tee shirt & I swear that almost every video I've ever seen him in....he's NOT flashy about it. The man leaves the 'stank-face' at home & you might catch a slight smile or something....but he lets the guitar do ALL the talkin'. He looks almost bored....LOL.

Great review! Just subscribed to watch you go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. Having been a fan for 50+ years, I know they're going to blow you away! Personally been to quite a few of their concerts and saw Pulse twice, in 2 different states. It was an experience, not just a concert and IMO nobody compares to these guys who are masters of their craft! Just fyi, any song from Pulse is great but you may want to check out Sorrow from same concert. Another great guitar solo!
It’s almost speechless in a way of there’s no words to describe how incredible they are. Have to react to all the songs on Dark Side of the Moon album and the Wish You Were Here album from them for sure!!
I've listened to that piece many many times since The Wall came out and it still gives me goose bumps!
Good to see that the young folks can still appreciate good music. Feeling sorry for you that you won’t be able to enjoy floyd life on stage anymore. This was mindblowing - every f$&@ng time !

I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
Saw them twice bro. The first time they had started playing Shine on You Crazy Diamond and I was running up the stairs to enter the indoor arena and was greeted by whie light and "smoke". I thought I had died and was in heaven about to meet the Maker. Six years later, saw them again on the Pulse tour. Then, in 2017, I got to meet him and his wife in person and express my gratitude.
This is one of if not the best songs of all time. Every time I hear it it’s like the first time. Sheer amazement. It’s like I can feel it in my soul my entire body buzzing

Great reaction. Thanks. I'm listening to Pink Floyd since I was 13. In all these 45 years I never managed to figure out to explain, what is happening to me. During and after the songs. I stopped working on that. I just accepted. Pink Floyd....goosebumbs everywhere, tears and the urgent wish, to make this world a better place....from up in the clouds, where I'm living during these songs. And I don't care, if this makes any sense
Omg!! You have to see Sorrow at Pulse!! It will blow your freaking mind
Glad you're a fan, and that you're continuing your Pink Floyd journey. If you want to see them perform when they were young, do "Echoes" live at Pompeii from 1972.
It's amazing to watch a person listen to a band that has been your absolute favorite for over forty years! And no one over the years has been able to move them from this place!!! "Shine on you crazy diamond" - for me, an absolute explosion of the brain and the most favorite song.
Hey young man I am very very happy that you are playing Pink Floyd to the masses. There are one of the greatest bands of all time their storytelling is second to none the concert you're watching the pulse I was there in Orlando they just take you away man let me say hi or should I say I used to partake in the substance that Timothy Leary introduced to the world and very very educational and spiritual in that friend of mine which I wish we could all live in anyhow thank you so much again man I'm going to subscribe to you and yeah it needs to be heard never forgotten
Saw this show 2x in 1994. North Carolina & New Jersey. Different songs each show, but both had Comfortably Numb. Was an amazing experience that I still remember vividly today- 28 years later.
Thank you for absorbing their music! 👍✌️ You've got a like and sub from me dude! ✌️🤘 Please continue your Pink Floyd journey and respect the solos? Nice man 🤘👍
I don't think my mind would recover from seeing them live. I wouldn't leave
I was there! Amazing experience, and amazing to see it today as one of those moments that still bring people together, in the journey for the discovery (or rediscovery) of great music!
Been listening to Pink Floyd for 50 years and it never gets old or dull. I would recommend listening to the sorrow also from the pulse show.
Purchased this concert through Apple Music, and it is loaded in my phone. Some of the best money I’ve spent. A wonderful, beautiful show by one of the greatest bands of all time at the peak of their powers.

And....with quadrophonic sound. What a joy to witness. A fantastic experience. (Seen Pink Floyd multiple times and after that David Gilmour solo). There are some great cover bands, check them for perhaps some gigs over at your place.
I was there!!. All those years ago, still blown away. Earls Court, London. Night certainly to remember. Thanks for bringing it back to life again. Love to hear your reaction, takes me right back.
The entire solo makes me emotional every single time! No other song brings music and vision into complete sync
The last couple times my husband went under general anesthesia. He asked to listen to and see this video. He said it's the only song you should listen to when you go under.
You've got the really BEST COMMENTS I've ever heard about this song when you affirm that the first part of the bridge is quietly sad and then, the harmonies go up & we can feel and see the open window and the full Sun which is comin'in ! That cannot be said any better ! Congratulations for U and this is what I call The Ultimate Band of All Time !!! Robert Girard Montreal

I've been to only 1 pink floyd concert in 1977 and it was mind blowing! Actually mind blowing is an understatement! it just has to be experienced live is all I can say!
The man is speechless 🤣🤣🤣 yep that's Pink Floyd for you alright, there are no words to describe it. Oh maybe one word "PERFECTION"
I was right there in 94, I saw it all. My father had taken me with him. I was 12 years old and it was insane. It changed my life. And welcome to the Wordl of Pink Floyd
Now that, that right there is what is called MUSIC! I knew that you'd be able tp appreciate that & I'm so glad that you did. There's plenty more Pink Floyd for you to experience. Not a bad song anywhere. Pink Floyd was the best Concert I've ever been to, without exception. Keep Smiling... Cheers...
Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. 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. 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
The audience is mesmerized during the whole song. Not only are they hearing the music they're experiencing it.
That guitar has bars. There are 3 songs happening here. The song being sung, the song being played, and the song being heard.
i saw this tour in 94 in Mexico City... Since then i've seen countless of great bands and great shows in different parts of the world...But i've never seen a single one that reaches that level of perfection that Pulse tour did
There are no superlatives adequate to describe the Pulse concerts. Reduces me to a teary eyed wreck everytime I see and hear it. Pink Floyd are a British gift to the world. So proud of them. Also a great and unexpected live set was the Live 8 performance, the band had not played live together for 20 years, yet they delivered a set that soared accross the Londons night sky, it blew everyone away and there were some heavy hitters in that line up that day/night! Subsequently Dark side of the moon went back to number 1 in the album charts and a whole new generation got to see and hear progressive rock music at its absolute perfect best. Peace my friend I envy you starting out on your Pink Floyd journey✌️
Yes! It looks like Pink Floyd probably brought you here to a place close to your soul, where you are at the same time connected to the rest. It must be something like that, but I can't really describe it well. You say “imagine if you were there!”, I was there in 1989 in a huge park in the Netherlands. The stage was so immense, I couldn't recognize the artists, they were so far away, but you saw everything, the stage was as big as an apartment building, the lightshow, my god!, lasers etc. combined with the music … and there were speakers on the corners of the park, the sound came from everywhere… When that huge disco ball opened it was like the heavens opened or something, unforgettable, and then that guitar solo that I didn't want to end, and none of the audience, really fantastic that this music has survived all time, analysis is not at all necessary, it touches you and you experience it. That day of that concert in 1989 was in the summer and it was a beautiful summer day and so we all stood outside, what a sound... around sunset Pink Floyd started with “Shine on you crazy diamond” that was really magical.
I was there and what an experience it was. Something you never forget.
The whole stadium was part of the light show and the sound was pristine, like having studio headphones on. Killer
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 1994... Me (62 years old now)..There...My wife had bought me tickets for Fathers Day that year. I have seen every major band you can name from Rolling Stones/Paul McCartney/Eric Clapton/Rammstein/Queen/AC/DC/ The Who/ Elton John etc and nothing compared to this experience. Thank you Pink Floyd for what you have given us over your career. The impact that your music has had on my life can not be put into words.
