THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! | Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (Pulse Concert) REACTION!!

I am 73 years old and saw Pink Floyd live several times. I am so gratified to see younger people appreciate this music since it does not exist any longer.

This is why a lot of older people don’t like new music. We are used to hearing real singers playing real instruments, real creativity, and original, none of those things exist anymore

David Gilmour.. black tshirt, dad jeans, and a strat and proceeds to melt the faces of everyone.

David Gilmour. Sings like an angel and plays guitar like a God. We are blessed to have him among us. Great reaction!

I just want to say 'thank you' for not interrupting this masterpiece, but especially the second solo by David Gilmour, which has been said by many to be the best guitar solo ever performed live anytime, anywhere.

Congratulations, you have just witnessed what is widely thought of as the best guitar solo ever.

As a 62 year old man I can tell you it sounds even better if you are high. If you know you know!

I was at that concert (and 2 other nights) and the air was electric. By the time they got this (it was the 2nd encore) they had been playing for 2 hours and 10 minutes. Note also that NONE of band moves from their place: they don't need to, they just let the music do all the talking. PLEASE - do yourself a favour. Grab your self some nibbles and your beverage of choice, take yourself to a darkened room and watch the entire 2 hour 40 minute concert in its entirety. You will not regret it and you can thank me later.

I have joy in my heart when young people are introduced to Pink Floyd, often reacting in disbelief. Comfortably Numb features what many people have dubbed the greatest guitar solo of all time. Many fans call this their favorite song of all time. The truthfully try not to overthink it. The meaning of the songs often change is one grows older, reflecting upon their own mortality. At times these masterpieces are almost too much to take in. But you will get it. In time

Pink floyd literally invented the rock concert light show back in the 60's

One of the beautiful things about Floyd is there's so many layers to it. The lyrics are genius, and the music soars beyond the limits of language to describe.

It is always fun to see someone react to this for the first time, how could anyone expect such a performance? On the lyrics, the story goes that they are partly based on Roger Waters' having to perform on stage after he had a weird reaction to a medication he was taking. But I think that experience was used to convey something far more important--what you referred to as detachment. There is a lyric in Comfortably Numb that is one of the saddest ever, "The child is grown, the dream is gone."

great gig in the sky

This may be my favorite songs out of all their great music. The 2nd guitar solo is one of the greatest ever. I'm a 74 year old rock musician who has heard them all. Great reaction. I'm happy that you recognize greatness! ❤❤😊😊

As someone who saw Pulse concert twice, and have seen many of the classics over many years, I can still say the Pink Floyd concerts were and still are the best I've ever seen! Insane amount of talent these guys had and they created music that is still the best even today!! Amazing band!!

30 years ago this month I got to see this tour 4th row seats. Best concert ever. Great reaction, the whole concert should be watched, won't be disappointed.

To me Comfortably Numb is about those times in life when you're going through something so difficult that your emotions shut off and you're left feeling numb. I think really it's a song which can have many interpretations. My brother has a very strong reaction to this song because it reminds him of when he was suicidal. And I know people for whom the song very much speaks to overdosing on drugs. It's an incredibly beautiful song. It's so dreamy and comforting, but also has this underlying emotion that is bursting out and proving difficult to contain. Musically it really fits the idea of repressing intense emotions.

Bro Im 64 yr old I envy you.Experienceing Pink Floyd for the first time like I did back in the day.

Detachment is a good way to put it. There is a whole story behind where this song fits into the story of the album (The Wall), but on its simplest level, yes as you get older and pain inflicted on you (both from others and from yourself), you lose that innocent wonder of childhood and become detached from your true self. There is much more to the context of this song of course but I think on that level we can all relate to it. The “pin prick” is a doctor giving him an injection of whatever to make him feel enough euphoria to get him through a performance, but it can be taken on more symbolic levels as well. Such is the magic of Pink Floyd.

I'm actually addicted to Gilmour's second solo. I've listened to it several times and it never gets old. Mind boggling to think a human being can be that freaking good on the guitar.
