My dad, who introduced me to Pink Floyd, drove 8 hours across Poland, and then 8 hours back immediately after the concert, just so we could experience this concert live together. i was 15 then, and now almost 15 years later, I still love this music, perhaps more than ever. My appreciation for it only gets deeper as I age.
You're so lucky
My dad and I did something similar to see him in Chicago in 2016. Worth every second
I first discovered PF at 10 years-old ( The Wall ). Now at 50 years old I can assure you that my own appreciation for it and all it encompasses, and for David especially, only gets deeper as I age
Precious memories. Savor them for life.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 You are extremely fortunate to have witnessed that event ! I was 22 in 1994 when Pink Floyd came to my town, and I feel sorry for anyone who was too young to have seen them. Cheers 👍
David Gilmore is one of the wonders of the world. He has transported my mind across the heavens❤

Gracias!!

Guten Morgen ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende LG nath 🥰💚🧡
SEI UN MITO HDPinkFloyd grazie 🙏
Gilmour and Wright at their finest. Brilliant.
Why isn't nick at the drums here?
who else goes back and listens to echoes again? absolutely brilliant !!!! dave and rick got it perfect one last time!!!
Echoes, High Hopes, and a few other songs too. Some say this is the best version of Echoes, ever. I love almost all versions :).
That first solo section that he plays on the neck pickup at 1:17:52 is so beautiful and haunting! Gives me chills every time I listen to it. This is my favorite version of Echoes.
David Gilmour is like a fine wine, he just gets better with age. Definitely one of the best if not the best guitar players ever!
HEAR THAT
David Gilmore is the best and will always be and never forgotten
I've heard some awesome guitarists but never has a guitar sang to me like Gilmore and his strings.
Gilmour is the best of all time for me. No one can convey emotion like he can. No other guitarist has ever reduced me to tears. He does get better with age. And as I get older I appreciate him more
While I love David's playing, He is far from the best guitarist ever. And as for being like fine wine, Are you high or something? In the 70s and 80s he was incredible. I heard very little of that David Gilmour here. As a luthier and guitarist myself, I'm just keeping it real.
David Gilmour, the soul of rock music, the soul of guitar, the soul of Pink Floyd ! A legendary artist, still there after all theses years !
Damb right my friend 👌🏼👍🏻🎸😎
Unfor geht able forever true Lord have merci
Listening in memory of my son Jimmy 7/12/81- 11/03/08.I wish you were here ☮️
Feel that.
Sorry for your loss hope this wonderful music brings you comfort
This touched my soul right here. Thinkin bout ya
Gilmour no words pure legend
Gilmour demuestra con este concierto y otros, que siempre fue el alma de pink floyd despues de sid barret. GRANDIOSO
orchestra is perfect backing.....I don't know the words to describe the feeling I'm having
It’s a natural high without any drugs. Fills you with bliss. Peaceful and happy. Our souls really love this!!!
@@Doggirl1007 Exactly right... tears of bliss falling through my cheeks...
David Gilmour, one of the best guitarplayer ever. ❤👍
OMG!!!! Echoes !! Gillmor is like a magician willing the sounds out of his guitar. Unbelievable
David Gilmour + Richard Wright = the most perfect collaboration ever ! ECHOES
@mousiebrown1747 why isn't nick doing the drums?
I was so lucky to be there. Best moments of my life so far! Thanks David!
David was always at his best with Richard by his side. 🙏🙏
I need to hear this music again,and AGAIN 🙌❤️🙌
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Concerts as good as this just dont exist anymore !
Grand David Gilmour !.Immense talent.Merveilleux concert.Merci.❤💪
Hello Eliane, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Great to see Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music backing David on this tour. Pure Excellence.
I’m just a lonely cowboy from Dallas Texas David Gilmour has helped me along here in my 50s. Thanks man thanks for the good jams and a gentle sense of humor that comes with a fine vintage thanks again Dave.
I UNDERSTAND YOU ☘☘💚💚💚💚🌱☘🦎🌱🌱🌱🐷💚
David and Richard in echo's, this is pure Magic above everything we can undertstand
After scanning through the many comments. What I’m fascinated by, is the number of different languages used to express appreciation and admiration for David Gilmour et al. He is truly one of the most beloved musical composer, performers of the past 50 plus years. To reach so many in a most personal way, and to bring such joy. I can only imagine the satisfaction he must feel, for making this world a more connected place, than where he found it. Bravo! Thank you and peace.
Great comment! TY
All people speak music 😊
That is so right on the point. Just saw high hopes and tears come out of my eyes hearing that last acoustic solo... pure bliss though melodies...incredible
Belo e verdadeiro comentário!Concordo em tudo!💖👏🏾👏🏾
Every now and then, humans manage to create something that is not of this world. This is surely the epitome of that! 🙏
So true. Absolutely transcendent! Peace.
A rollercoaster of emotions David gilmour plays to my heart ❤
Happy birthday Sir David Gilmour, living legend.
There was something very, VERY magical about that night.
Perfection ~ David Gilmour 4 life ~ Play it, and they will come ~ May the good Lord bless him with many many more years.
After a 24hr shift at the hospital, rocking to this now ..what more could be better ... 🥂
Well deserved!
Wow. Kudos to the essentials 👌👌
Nothing .
L
Thank you sir for working at hospital and helping so many..God Bless You Sir...Jesus Loves You
Great, simply great.... Long live for David Gilmor¡¡¡¡ Thanks for that concert to Gilmor, Richard and all the team
Hate pop up adds when watching and listening to such a wonderful concert
It’s worth paying the KZhead subs to stop adverts just for this video!
Use Brave browser. Easy.
Don't a youtube ad blocker work for you?
@@crazy-diamond7683 never tried one.
Now that I watched it again, I see that David didn't want to end that Comfortably Numb solo in this performance. Might as well call it the greatest of his live stint. ❤️❤️❤️
Od pierwszych taktów mam "ciary"!!! Miałam szczęście być na tym koncercie! Jestem z Gdańska! Dziękuję Davidzie i cały ogromy zespole dzięki któremu ten koncert stał się możliwy! Nic nie widziałam tzn. sceny ale słychać było cudnie!!! Byłam z przyjaciółką, która przyjechała z Węgier! Ona od blisko 3 lat słucha w niebie "niebiańskiej" muzyki w wykonaniu choćby Richarda Wright'a (RIP)! Kocham piękna muzykę! Kocham PF!!!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
The only thing I miss is the song Sorrow it would have been interesting together with the Polish Baltic Philharmonic orchestra. Thanks for this this lovely music uploading on Y.T.
Mr. Gilmour & Mr. Wright... and every one there .. a Miracle A gift that it was recorded... Thank You David Gilmour . An unmatched accomplishment for us to remember ...enjoy
Gilmour and the guitar are as one. Perfect harmony🎶.
I spend my hardships listening to Gilmour, my joys are spent listening to Pink Floyd ..... I spend my musical life listening to these geniuses .... times are shortening and On an Island is necessary
I’m not certain, but I think I’ve decided to cohabit the dark side of the moon. It’s May 2022 and this world is just too weird. Meet you there….
David delivers pure rock n roll. That s what rock band should do.
Just doesn’t get any better than this. Love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Pink Floyd 4-Ever
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Без всяких разговорах ставлю ЛАЙК!!!ЧУДОВИЩНАЯ КРАСИВАЯ МУЗЫКА!!!)).Without any conversations, I LIKE it!!!MONSTROUS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!))
🎸The musical genius Gilmour on one of his journeys to start singer songwriter guitar slinger lead to acoustic solos from scorching to mellow riffs up a notch.He has his own style no fancy tecko.The gift is in his fingers this superhuman remains supreme in this world 🌎 2021 🎸🎸🎸
I was there. Driving 7 hours from Szczecin to Gdansk, returning immediately after the concert... One of the happiest 24 hours in my life. One minus - the concert was quiet, which took away the joy of experiencing it. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to see PF and R. Waters earlier, so I was not so disappointed.
They probably hsd to turn down, so the orchrestra could be heard. As for the crowd, they were like when I seen them in 94. Mesmerized. Gilmour, the greatest srtist of our time in my opinion. Great show!
I completely understand. Just about every concert is like that now. It’s like watching a movie, instead. I can barely contain myself in my seat. I want to move to the music. When did everyone start doing this? I’d be so happy if I had ever gotten to see them live in concert. What an incredible experience!!!
I think that this is the pinnacle of his solo career... just amazing
Totally agree!! Prime super powers on display here!!
Sir Gilmour...The Lord of the guitars ! Always been on top. Not forgetting " The division bell tour ( PULSE) in 1994. But in my opinion the point of arrival was reached at Pompeii in 2016.
Guitar, saxophone, banjo, lap steel guitar... Even on the saxophone, Master David is impressive! Thank you Sir for these sublime solos and your mastery!
So much feeling. So much grace. Let's it develope slowly. So good for the soul. Music, the universal language.
The man is a magician
IMO, the greatest and most memorable live concert ever in Poland.
For me this really is the last Pink FLOYD concert. You have David and Richard plus Guy Pratt who has remained the bass player of Pink Floyd since Roger left. All that is lacking is Nick. You have Dick Parry long time FLOYD collaborator. Plus some of the best musicians around - not least Phil Manzanera ex lead guitarist of Roxy Music. Personally I think this concert contains some really definitive renditions of the PF back catalogue. This particular posting is a little distorted - I’ve heard better copies. I’ve also always regretted that the orchestra is a tiny bit higher in the mix. Clearly a job for Stephen Wilson to do a Dolby atmos mix! Echoes here is the best ever - poignant yes but two old friends playing off each other so exquisitely. I introduced PF possibly one of the first times it was played live at the Lads Club Norwich. They played the ‘world premiere’ of MEDDLE live a few days later on radio one! Still the mist soulful player on the planet. I think it is right to say that Floyd is different because as Stephen Wilson pointed out in his interview with Rick Beato you get MANY genres not just one. In this concert you have rock, blues, music concrete, jazz, psychedelic, acid, classical, soul - you name it - even David blowing the sax! Just the consummate band of the years. Magnificent! ❤
Greatest live concert of all time. Amazing. Just simply amazing. There are no words to pay it justice. My god. I am dumbstruck.
The most beautifull version of Echoes ...
i would've given anything to be at this one show, I listen to this live album almost daily.
Byłem tam. Było absolutnie rewelacyjnie. Na samą myśl ciąży mi po ciele przebiegają 😍
Też byłem 🙂 ciary cały czas.
My God, what a dream this must have been...!! I wasn't there, but i plugged this to my big screen tv and it felt just out of this world!! Love you, David Gilmour and Pink Floyd
Echoes... The greatest piece of art by Pink Floyd, arguably of any artist
Orchestra an added + to a very superb music experience!! Much love to Pink Floyd (especially David Gilmour💕😉) Thank you 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love Pink Floyd, always have and always will. I'm old enough to remember the pre Dave Gilmour Pink Floyd too. The Syd Barrret years. He, who wrote most of those wonderful pieces. Either version of Floyd is just superb music. Procul Harum, I believe, were the first band to play with an orchestra. A Salty Dog, is up there with the Floyd albums.
Rewelacyjne wspomnienia, szczególnie że byłem tam tego dnia i mogłem dotknąć tego osobiście, niezapomniane chwile, wspaniała muzyczna uczta, polecam wszystkim muzykę tego wyjątkowego Artysty !!!!
Witaj w klubie 🙂
nareszcie po polsku pozdrawiam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such good magic & the way the music gives way to endless pondering.
I'm from Gdansk and I was at this concert. I was close to the stage.
This is great! The song Echoes takes you on a journey. Excellent performance
Almost ruined, with 3 commercial interruptions. Total buzzkill!!!
Perfection on his string bends amazing vibrato, phrasing, timing, riffs... some of his solos just make the hair on your arms / neck stand up. Master innovator. Whenever he performs, you think that the guitar is his third hand! His music is not heard but experienced.
So true and if you just hear it .....your not experiencing it! Its much deeper than just hearing with your ears.....
You don't hear PF you feel it
Every version of Floyd songs of this concert is immaculate.
This is quite possibly one of the best performed and produced concert ever. So much precision and with optics to boot! Words can't express so I digress.
C'est vrai que c'est un super concert. Moi je suis un peu plus nuancé. Pour moi le meilleur concerter celui auquel tu es en train d'assister. Mais sinon, pour moi le concert que j'aurais voulu voir plus que tout, c'est le concert de Roger Waters à Berlin en juillet 1990,après la chute du mur.
110% absolutely right my friend
I was turned on onto the pink Floyd at 14th in 1968 I've been a fan ever since
The best 2 hour music therapy.
Here ever after To hear ever after Marks my heart with excellence as marksman Can - a bow a guitar an instrument
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
David can make his music & guitar talk to the soul
Hello Virginia, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
When you think you have had enough...of everything When there are just too many disasters, distractions and uncertainty When you just want to take a road trip, or just run away, Ease your mind. Everything is okay when David Gilmore is sharing his genius. Enjoy.
Romeoslover. A fantastic comment my friend. David Gilmour is a true legend and fantastic human being.
Wow. What fantastic words. Wish I could have thought of what you think.
Couldn't be any better, excellent! I listen to both the Royal Albert Hall video and this one. With the backing of the Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra, it adds another dimension to the already great Gilmour/Wright and Co. music. I get teary eyed when I see R. Wright, may he RIP 💖💛💚 Thanks for posting.
I miss Richard Wright, too. It’s always a treat to watch him play.
Hello Lucy, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
David Gilmour 💖 Der Gitarren Gott ❤ Danke David. Pink Floyd Der Beste Band Aller Zeiten 💕
GOD BLESS SIR RICHARD WRIGHT
The music that sooths the soul and fills the void is nothing to take lightly. Brought me back on many a dark mood. David just get's better with age. I'm afraid to listen to his new stuff because it will make me realize how much time has gone by and how little remains. My rock God is David. No one comes close!
Gracias por compartir, tan buena música, me relaja y me hace volver ah, cuando tenia 15 años, ya llovio ...😀😀😀1975...😂😂😂😂
06.03.2021 с днем рождения, Дэвид Гилмор! Талантливый, гениальный, красивый, позитивный музыкант и композитор! Спасибо за чудо, которым мы наслаждаемся ❤️

It is an honor for me to share an existence (to be alive in the same time) with David Gilmour...
Fantastic, thnx for posting. Whew! what a man this David Gilmour, Lotsaluv.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Greatest concert I've ever seen from David Gilmour. High Hopes' ending is glorious.
Gilmore is still the only one who could bend those strings to make them cry.
Really?
The mighty David Gilmour, the master himself, no, god of guitar, no, i cannot find words to describe him. Still enjoy him und his artful style of playing guitar.
What talent! I've loved him all ofl my ife. God, bless him. Thankx David.
Hello Debra Kalbaugh, I'm glad you're a fan. How are you doing today? It's my pleasure meeting you here. Is this track one of your favorite songs?
Let's give David Gilmour some credit. He wrote the majority of these songs himself. Most of this concert is from his solo career. Pretty impressive that most of it has come from his mind.
He writes the music, but most of the lyrics are written by his wife
That what icons do. Do you think other veteran rock stars are running around doing Taylor Swift covers?
A lot if it came from polly his wife She does a lit if hus lyrics. He makes the tunes n she outs words to it
Thats why the songs are thrash
@@Redguard677 get used to it....
Шикарный концерт ! Девид - человек создавший наверное Вечную Музыку ! Спасибо !
