The solo is not something you hear , it's something you feel.
Wish I could feel that Good.!music is Magic. When they put everything in, it and then some 🤗
I'd be honored if David Gilmour fans would take a listen to my piano & vocal performances of WISH YOU WERE HERE and SLIT SKIRTS by Pete Townshend on my YT channel in tribute to the masters of lyricism and composition. Done live with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Goddamn that gives the chills to tears every time . Theres something ethereal to this
the best solo i ever heard, its touches the soul, gives goosebumps
You are right and it feels good to hear David Gilmour play guitar. He is one the best Rock Guitarist on our planet.
My dad is screaming at me from the next room to turn the bloody volume up for the Solo.
max haokip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Favorite Song Of All Time. This REALLY Does Take Me Back To The 70,s
Maureen Brown your generation had the best bands ever. It must have been such a privilege to witness these musicians live
Go dad 🤣🤣🤣
Max, you're dad is absolutely in the right!
Who is here in 2024 ?
☝️
Here on St Pat's 2024. Still outstanding even w/o Roger Waters.
I was at Pompei last week (March, 2024). They have photos of first Pink's gig.
I am
❤
One of the best guitar solo's ever. Everyone in the band is just smiling while he does his solo and they're all jamming along
💯
the first one is great second one is overrated
I’ve never disagreed more in my life. Do we have the same ears?
Probably not, mine are human.@@dereksiegel255
THE BEST GUITAR SOLO.....EVER !!!!
I like Eddie Van Halen's reason for loving David Gilmore. "David Gilmore is the benchmark of less being more. He has proved that shredding and fast playing is not the benchmark of mastery level. Gilmore never wastes a note; he builds his solos like a painter; every note, every bend, every tonal inflection has merit...David's solos paint a picture in the minds of his listeners. Something that really is a testament of his talent as a guitar player"
100% agree.
Beautifully said by EVH!
As a Brit we celebrate "less is more!"
Well said
Very well said!
Pompeii Hans't Been This Lit Since 79 A.D
Brilliant comment
❤
That's fucking cynistic. But it's brilliant. :-)
Man 1972 Floyd concert!!
lmfao
You just don’t want the solo to end… legends that will live forever
Possibly the best live guitar solo ever. No words can describe it. Like angels screaming, just pure emotion. I'm 65 now & love most rock, but always come back to this. It will never fade.
Makes me cry with the fender. My leaving song if you know me you'll know what it means to me
I'm 75 and I agree 😊
Anche io la penso come te ciao coscritto
Even Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Paganini get on their knees when they lissen this..............
Me too. Simply the greatest version of the greatest rock ballad ever gifted to the world.
- Dad, why my sister's name is Rose ? - Because you mother loves Roses - Ok. Thanks, dad ! - No problem, Comfortably Numb Live in Pompeii 2016
hahahahahhahaha good one
So you’re a 3 year old or your name was changed and btw I know it’s not really your name
@@avishoshan4047 :(
Gurke it was 3 years ago
XDD
This honestly might be the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Is
It is
Kaleb Krail it is
It absolutely is!!!
I second that view, it's amazing - god like.
During this song he leaves this planet he’s is without doubt the greatest guitar player ever amazing isn’t the word.
WHO ARE HERE TO LISTEN IT AGAIN IN 2024 🤔🤔🤔
U r not alone ma dear I'm here by ya side were pinkflyod is.luf from manipur kuki.
Always listening
And to think that we can watch/rewatch this at our leisure. What luxury.
We all are let’s hope Roger and David make a pact soon!
Me, Flávio. From Santa Catarina, South of Brazil.
That final solo has saved more lives than therapy.
Hair standing up on my arms every time
I could watch this every day all day and still die a happy man. After I got sober, 13 years ago, it took me awhile to get back to Pink Floyd. Now I have much better appreciation for their work. Hell, I still listen to Radio K.A.O.S. from Roger Waters.
exactly!
Ahem to that. ☺
It makes my heart happy to know so many appreciate this music.
Guitars wish they get a David Gilmore for Christmas
🤣❤👍
😂😂😂
😅
I vote this one as best comment.
sick!!😂
In this world, there are songs, there is music and then there is Pink Floyd.
I totally agree
65 year old veteran. Relaxing with a beer and listening.
what did you fight for?
My father always said, ”No talking when Pink Floyd is playing”.
your father was a... smart man!!
Totally agree !
I love it, amazing just💐
A wise man preach.
can`t say blame him
David Gilmour's voice at 70-something is 95% of what it was at 20-something. And his guitar playing appears to still be at 100%. Fine wine.
On my option, this should be somehow 120% or more on guitar part. ;-)
I’ve heard both 👍
Yes indeed 😊 FINE WINE 😍
Seriously insanely talented
@Mind Control Experiments lol
that solo is a song itself, it gave me goosebumps
Comfortably, one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.
If this doesn’t touch your soul, you might not have one.
I don’t have one, but I like the song lol
@@hugowaltner1677 it was late when i listened you feel this energy
Patrick Sautron what is that supposed to mean ? I’m confused.
Said it all.
@michael lee I am LoL beyond my control and I thank you for that😂😅🤣🤓🤓
The drummer appreciated every single piece of that solo
I never saw a drummer having so much fun, and i've seen some pretty high times up there on the stage.
It looked like he was getting tired at the end lol
YEAH he was eating it up
Nick Mason..... 👏
@@melmayhem6001 Nope
It's unbelievable a human being actually made this.
Maybe some of them aren’t….🧚♂
Is this the greatest live performance of music ever
Yes
so true
That drummer has the face of the happiest man on earth
how could you not be , this is the best solo ever made ever
It seemed to me that I was the ONLY ONE who got on this! I was buzzing off him. I don't see how that isn't the most noticeable thing about this video, after the amazing rendition by David Gilmour (in a league of his own I believe. The man is early 70's here cool as ya like, no bouncing about giving it ego as most) I had to bring it to every person's attention I've watched it with. As one post here says yea look who he's playing with. I said that smile is him saying"WOW I'm Drumming with DAVID GILMOUR...!!!!! Soon as I seen him. Love this version
Looks to me like David's having a high time too. Not so many grinnings but plenty of picking!
Maybe he is! ... Who knows? 😂
Si yo estuviese allí, también lo estaría.
Whoever's reading this, I want you to know, you have a great taste in music.
My dude so do you
ah you men of culture!
8=======D
You too friend.
@@jordiduran4499 gey
Damn! David still has it!! I am blown away by his guitar solo, the absolute best ever!!
Brings chills down the spine tears to the eyes and a big lump in your throat. Unbelievable.
Often wondered if anyone else had the same reaction as you just described or was the only one that felt this
It frigging does, indeed...
Sitting with the exact same feeling damn.
I get that feeling every time…
History will show that this was the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Oh 2zh6ñ
History not needed.
Counterpoint: The time solo
Was = is....
I have asked my self .what song can you listen to for internty ??? It's comfortably numb.i don't think it's the greatest David Gilmours best solo but is the context of the song .it's truely the greatest mean .he's like Michael Angelo with a 🎸
You could make a 30-minute version of this song, and it'd still feel too short.
So true...
Yep
"Echoes" for me is a short song 😀
I like a 1 hr
Oh Yeah...so true
Love the drummers smile throughout, It just says to me, look at the gig I got, playing one of the best songs with one of the biggest bands in the world. If it were me the smile would never leave ....ever....
I'm 🇬🇧. We gave the world some music. Thank you.
Pink floyd is universal treasure to all humanity.
ain't that the truth
A gift as it is!
Max Murphy Amen brother!👍👊✌️
I like em especially after smoking weed.
Max Murphy Agree
No matter how many times i hear this song as soon as Gilmour starts the solo every single hair on my body stands up
True that 💯
His voice isn’t bad either.
I am getting a guitar because of this man
That's because you know what's comin'!
Marcus Jahnke oh hell ya hes got a killer voice
Greatest song of all time.
Love watching David Gilmour and Eric Clapton stand there and just play. No theatrics ... just awesomeness!
That drummer is just happy to be playing with a legend
kaan yeşildal i’d be happy to just be one of the dancers on stage with a legend 😂
So would I if I had the chance
I agree
I would breath my last
His in heaven
The electric guitar was invented exactly for this guitar solo.
This solo strummed by Sir David Gilmore no less
I’d be inclined to believe that electricity was invented for this solo.
Music was made for this.
The greatest guitar solo!!!
The greatest solo of all time
Listening to his guitar solos gives me goosebumps, makes me cry,fills me with joy
Everything mankind knows about music including how to use an electric guitar, was used at full capacity in this solo. Thank you.
The drummer's face when he remembers he's drumming along to a Dave Gilmour solo. Living the dream.
Well yeah, bee playing with david Gilmore that would look good on your CV.
David Gilmore belter on that carter
The drummer had dental surgery earlier that day and his mouth was frozen numb in smile mode.
@@thedorp lol, yeah sure does look like that.🤗🤗🤗
Yes living the dream, can you imagine? The problem is there would be nothing in this life thereafter that could compare to that moment. I wish I had know about this concert before hand, I would have been there. Wish they would do it again, but probably not. I stood in that place 40 years ago, what a perfect environment for that masterful music! Thankfully this music will live on forever in recordings.
Not one, ONE note is out of place in this solo. How is that possible. This guy is absolutely incredible. Best ever
Same as live8 not a note out of place the whole set, never be matched will Floyd.
Damn Straight!!!
I hear you brother
Yes Gilmour is one of the best a Legend.
David ❤
The smile on David's face in the end .. said everything
Amazing! David is smiling throughout that guitar solo and no doubt feeling the energy of the moment! Classic!! ❤😊
The drummer knowns he is damn lucky to be chosen to perform with the legend, expressions on his face proves something money can't buy.
He is like "mommy, mommy, look I'm playing with Gilmour"
He looks pretty much younger than David so I think Pink Floyd had its best times when he was young
Absolutely agree with you dude
Thats definitly James Hetfield
No, not at all
Every time I watch this I smile when I see how happy the drummer is.
He's got a naturally "smiley" face, but most of the time it really does look like he's thinking "THIS CANNOT BE MORE AWESOME!!"
Ist auch meine Lieblingsstelle😊❤
He knows he is in the presence of greatness.
This Gilmour solo is his best version, it is fantastic, it completely fills your soul
I've watched and listened to this particular song on my Blu-ray hundreds of times and it still gives me goosebumps. It never gets old. Thank you David.
The Romans built this place just for this guitar solo. Factus.
That made me laugh - so true
Made my day 😂
Truth was spoken
Gold
Yes indeed
Doctor : u have 5min to live Me : Listens to Comfortably Numb Doctor : But that’s 9min God : it’s okay
Ayman Chedadi LoL 😂
🇧🇷😎
Amen ;)
)))!!
Oh Vey
David Gilmour….one of thee very best to ever do it and who ever will do it. An exceptional talent 👏
I swear I just left my body. This rendition always sends me to some other worldly place.
You don’t listen to Pink Floyd…you feel them with every part of your being!
HA HA HA> U FUNNY
AYE! ! Watching him sing and make love to that guitar makes my 64 year old lady parts tingle! WORD!
Yesss 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
That is painfully true man. I can see my whole childhood with my parents’s struggle with money and all their effort to bring me up where I am now. It just makes me burst me in tears. My dad loves Pink Floyd. He was the was who showed me the The Wall. It connects with so much memories from my childhood. Pink Floyd is something else. It’s a soundtrack for your past life. (I am 32 now)
Damn right, where music should hit ya
I love how the crowd starts cheering before the solo because they know what's coming....pure magic.
I am fell that..
If you listen very carefully, you can hear some of them sing the first few notes.
It dosent get any better than this. All the lucky people who got to experience such perfection, I envy you.
Every time I listen to this song my heart beats fast....I almost move! It's divine... it's unsurpassable... it's everything!
That drummer has the face of a man who gets to play with pink floyd
Damn right.
Gets to play with Gilmour.
I was thinking the same thing.. Like a childhood dream has come true🇬🇧
When I saw him I immediately remebered nick's face and smiles during this song played at live8. Fantastic
Damn, just take my soul and let me play with David...
That is the happiest and most spiritually fortunate drummer i have seen. He's just high on Gilmour. Who wouldn't be?
He had high hopes
totally agree skanoza they just all knitted together he just loved playing drums in the band
Every single person in Pompeii at that time was gilmoured
Steve distanislao. Great drummer
ikr
I've had the good fortune to be able to say I've watched this 3 times at live concerts in my lifetime. Tears and goose bumps each time
Sooo jealous
You a lucky bastard…
I have become comfortably numb
The solo is the only reason aliens haven't destroyed earth yet
Best cmnt😂❤️
Cool man!
You got that right
It’s true. And BOTH SOLOS are from beyond. Gilmour is god! 🎸
Haha! That’s brilliant 😂
This is my neighbors favorite guitar solo whether he likes it or not.
that is so good!!!
Laughed way to hard at this! Good one, sir!
My neighbors as Well, they all seem to like it...
When I listen to this, so does the neighborhood.
Funny as hell, I'll always remember that one, good job...
greatest solo of all times still hits hard every time
That’s the happiest drummer I’ve ever seen haha. You can tell he’s just chilling and thrilled to be 5 feet away from legendary greatness. What a privilege it would’ve been to see that live, let alone be on stage!
Drummer:I finally made it mom!I'm playing with David Gilmour!!
the incomparable Steve Distaislao
@@matejc3281 wouldn't u
Woody81 I would be ecstatic, literally vibrating.
That smile at 4:08 says it all.
He's totally fanboying out, as anyone who knew anything about music would be. Anyone who wouldn't be geeked about being right there, right then is a lost cause.
The drummer never stops smiling, must be one of the highlights of his life to play in this concert with David Gilmore and pink floyd.
He looks like he having the time of his life...
And the bass player, the band have the best seats in the house!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I would sell my soul to be able to see david gilmour play live. I cannot even fathom what the people on stage feel ♡
@@leahlebangood , i saw pink floyd live in 1994 in foxboro stadium in foxboro MA in the USA, during the division bell tour. 1994 was great to me. Probably the greatest year to me. PINK FLOYD IN MAY, WORLD CUP IN JULY. All in the USA
I would pay to just watch David rip that solo apart, me and him in the room.
Who's here everyday
All i want in my life is to feel what that drummer feels.
It is pretty raw
How many people can say they played with David Gilmor
He looked pretty content.
@@jasong.1295 Yeah, as in "the Pacific is wet"
4:08
I love the drummer in this set. He looks so happy to be there and in his head, he is thinking "Wow, I am playing drums for David Fuckin Gilmour"
MrZuul25 yesssss
scrolled down to see if there was a comment about the drummer ! totally agree !!
Exactly what I was thinking throughout the video. Also the other vocal guys and girls were enjoying it and thinking the same as well.
It's Steve DiStanislao he's been playing with David even before On an Island, but yeah he looks happy, who wouldn't?
Something awesome was created there, and he was right in the middle of it
He is just amazing Im in tears right now😢
Greatest solo ever..really can make the younger bach of musician abashed..such a glorious set can't be played again ever.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
The look on the drummers face is the perfect reaction... imagine witnessing that solo!!!
I know it was a incredible when he took off his headphones just because he wanted to hear David solo
I'm talking about another video where Pink Floyd played for the last time together Nick Mason takes his headphones off so he can hear
It must be the first time this drummer heard It
I don't know maybe he just gets amazed every time
Drummer was just clearly amazed how this solo feels in live performance and you get to play along with it. What more can you ask for if you re the drummer? Its once in a lifetime you get to play along with this kind of musician.
During the solo every band member is smiling cause they are all aware that they are witnessing one of the greatest moments in history.
Mucho bueno
Agreed
They have been playing that solo for a very long time, still amazing tho
They are all swimming in the groove they are making, just to serve this solo. They are spectators just like we are. They just get to add more glorious sounds to the solo of solos!
Wouldn't the greatest moment in history be the beginning of the universe, this would be a close second though
My favorite rendition of this and all the songs played at the Live In Pompeii concert.
This song- along with the first solo, can really kick you in the heart and you're not just hearing - you're feeling.
You may be cool but you’ll never be as cool as 70-year-old guy playing his Black Strat.
Or a dead guy playing the synths.
HAHAHA FUN
Well he no more has the Black strat with him. That guitar is a legend in itself.
You'll never be as cool as a 70-year old guy playing his Black Stat, taking one of the badddest solos to another level, and ending it like it's just another day's work.
Effin" "A".
That second solo is the music of the center of the universe.
Awesome
What? I thought it was Gangnam Style.....
@@isagunalay5602 What we are seeing and hearing is a man's soul flowing through wood and steel... A couple other versions, where at the end Gilmour makes that Strat absolutely scream with anguish and despair is like nothing I have ever come out of a guitar before. A guitar player poster on one of these vids said that he didn't even know what the sound was...he had zero idea how that sound was made on guitar. Name them, Page, Clapton, Van Halen, whomever, for my money while all those top players are phenomenal players, Gilmour is transcendent. SO much raw emotion in this song. IMHO no one comes close.
@@jamespobog3420 anytime I listen to a really good guitar solo and I mean a really good one it just feels like im seeing into the eye of the universe in a way. Its very few dong that have made me almost cry because of all of the emotion being put through the instrument in a such a raw and visceral way. Maggot brain, weight of love and comfortably numb are those songs.
@@freshlypouredbingwater7913 Yep, know what you mean. There are actually a few songs that to me are borderline unbearable. Boys of Summer. Travelin' Soldier (Dixie Chicks...not a fan of them tho). The Flame (Cheap Trick). Ain't Missing You (John Waite)... et al. All extremely painful, yet they are all great songs...
Every note, every Chord and all timing is spot on... 👌 but what got me is how it feels, and this is live... 😳😱
EMOTIONAL!!!BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER... WE WERE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THIS TALENT...NOBODY TODAY HAS THIS LEVEL OF PASSION!!!!!!ABSOLUTELY SOUL MOVING STUFF
How am I supposed to enjoy other music after listening to this one?
You can't, David is the one and only
I know I can't. I don't listen to anything else now.
Lol, right? I had another song queued up after this one, but I had to close it...there's just no point lol.
Incredible, isn't it? There are three superlative things in play here. His voice, his guitar, and his empathy. Each would stand on its own, to have them all in one unit is sublime. What a talent!
LawlietNao i agree!! is imposible 😟
This man is 73 years old, stll the greatest guitarist ever. He always made that strat cry.
Joseph Novit xand he can sing..oh jeez david, please do not die
@@normatible9795 I am 73 and listen to him almost every day ...he is a Legend and his music will live on
unbelievable ! My hero musician. If I am a billionth of him I'll be something special lolol
@@normatible9795 he's 73, not 90... at 73 you still have a lot to live
Damn near makes ME cry !!
PERFECTION!
His soul sings through his guitar and takes our soul on a beautiful and powerful journey out of this artififcial world into such a beautiful world I can't describe in words.
The drummer is smiling because he knows how fucking epic this is
You can see everyone smiling except Gilmour because he’s super focused on this epic solo.
Yes
Time of his life
Time of his life
@@robertemerson1087 he's in another world, the solo just comes out of his fingers
dont pretend you are not here for the 20th time this month...we all come here again eventually.
Love the talented man
Yes, not to mention it's only the 2nd day of the month...
Once a week for an emotional hit.
My first, I've been gone to long. Excuse me, I've got to go dust off a friend and light up another. Time to become comfortably numb.
Lol yeah😎
the best solo I've ever heard.
Absolutely bar none the best guitar solo of all time nothing close I've listened to this song my whole life I'm 51 and Everytime I hear it live or in studio on CD wherever it makes me feel something that no other solo does that's just me I wish I could play just this solo I would play it constantly everyday
*Prince* on the *George Harrison* tribute was up there! 😮
4:55 is the face of a drummer who has heard and played this song hundreds of times and never gets tired of hearing that solo
5:57 as well
That's the face of bliss.
8 feet away from Gilmour pouring his heart into one of the greatest solos ever conceived. Nirvana.
Legend has it that the drummer's face melted with pleasure shortly after this.
como lo está disfrutando ese tio!
Probably the greatest guitar solo in the history of the world.
And then some Ernest!!!
It is THE greatest
You mean the Universe .
Totally amazing always listening to it
Yep
That first solo moves me to tears almost every time ❤
Absolutely Brilliant! Each and every time I listen to it!
Can we just notice how amazing the lighting is?
YES.
Is like a guitar hero! 😁
@trippyforever I have. Not talking about pink Floyd though. I don't know much about them.
I watched this on acid and it was an absolute sensory overload. I could smell all the colors of smoke during the chorus. A bit scary but very cool
All computer done, nowadays. Just like all the choreography in fireworks displays. I’m absolutely not pining for the old days of concerts in the least .. the swaying lighters .. the lighting up of joints you pass on down the line .. followed by the fifth of Jack Daniels .. those were the days 50 years ago lol
The only thing better that David Gimour's solo is the look on every band member's face while he's playing it
They’re just immersed in happiness because they knew that they were part of something great.
They are also in awe. He's a Guitar Hero
Truly badass!!!!
This many years later, and hundreds of thousands of guitar solos later, and they still are in awe when he plays it....
Especially the drummer!
One of the best, if not the best, live guitar solos ever.
Con quella chitarra può dire tutto ciò che vuole... Non smetterà mai di emozionarmi questa canzone. Meraviglia assoluta. Assoluta. ❤
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry ... it's just a song ... second solo comes ... oh chit ...
Breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Me too
truth
I cried too! 😭
Lol that's how feel😅
David Gilmour made a deal with the Devil. I’m not sure what Gilmour got, but the Devil got guitar lessons.
Best coment
WoW!!! Underrated comment.
Daniel Moore , excellent
Cool
Best comment ever
I am so flattered that this was and still is my music that I grew up with and still growing up with since I ever was introduced to it when I was a teen and now I am in my 60's
I'm 🇬🇧 so extra bragging rights. Not that the UK ever gets any recognition for the music we've brought to the planet....😕
This song is for the best mate i could of ever had gone but not forgotten my friend for you Ronnie.
