Wow, that hurts

[sidewinder2803]

Fortunately we still have this kind of music and aren´t forced to listen to that today´s crap.

[GuitarCailuong]

his music is much more valuable than the 20 million dollar #0001 Strat he plays

[TheIerot]

[rccf83]

Гилмор мой любимый гитарист - у него гитара разговаривает, поет - я не многих знаю таких!

[Cyrax3579]

[Cyrax3579]

[southroncross]

David Gilmour never fails to amaze.

[lpavletinet]

his bad perfomrance, not at his best, but still better then many guitar players at their best.

[solpicasso]

[tcrepdmazt]

@solpicasso inimitabile!

@MrMPtunes No, it´s a classic blues solo expression =)

[MrMPtunes]

A little peace of stairway to heaven solo .. 4:58

Gilmour is the best ..

[BubenCZ]

Happy B-day our rock king :-)

[70hemicuda666]

Waters may be the writer of the songs and tells the story, but Gilmour was the person that painted the pictures for Waters storys

[exoriole]

...there are several great guitar players who can make that guitar sing.....Gilmour makes his THINK and sing...awesome.........

[TheMagicalwispers]

You don't need fast fingers to make the guitar sing.

[dobindave]

This song is so sad but beautifull at the same time.

[Macconator2010]

One of my personal favorite Pink Floyd song. Dave Gilmour is a legend i like his work better than Eric Clapton and he is referred to as god. I also think Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time, Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest rock album of all time and Comfortably Numb the greatest rock song of all time.

[gtomasella]

@Macconator2010 ye buy high hopes owns

[gtomasella]

@gtomasella but*

[iamtheipodman]

@Macconator2010 I could not agree more. Pink Floyd's my favorite band, Dark Side's arguably my favorite Floyd album, and Comfortably Numb's my favorite Floyd song

[trainwatcher116]

@Macconator2010 Agreed David Gilmour is a Legend No A God to the Music Industry Just wished Most Musicians Can Learn from him

[thesaiyajins]

It hurts in my heart, but it is very beautiful

[Derveregun]

@thesaiyajins You said something wonderful...

[sketchyfolk]

I love DG! why does every dipshit like joe sat. think they have to play 68 notes a second?

[Danthehorse]

@sketchyfolk It is sad that though there are many technically good players, so many of them cant play with subtlety and real feel. I still look to DG, Andy Latimer and one or two modern guys like Mikael Akerfeldt.

[tutebuacho]

the perfect strat in the perfect hands.....

[BeQaZePP]

What Is here to discuss? Just Listen... Let dumbass's fuck theirselves...

[MrNebelful]

He's not the most schooled musician nor the most informal. he has class taste and talent .. that's why he plays simple things without sounding cheap nor mindless shredder

[azralynn03]

I agree with stringslasher, Gilmour in many ways defined "emotional finesse" (if I can borrow your phraseology". Throughout both Division Bell and Momentary Lapse of Reason, Gilmour literally pours out his soul through that instrument, like it was a conduit to something otherworldly. So many, many "performers" have both come and gone,...David Gilmour, is in this fans mind, both a visionary and a master of the musical and lyrical projection of the soul.

[geoffreyclub]

He is the best.

[Coolcutting]

@kmph59 The Bass player is Pino Palladino

[kmph59]

can anyone tell me the bass player name in dis video??

[Coolcutting]

@kmph59 Pino Palladino

[oldman91950]

anyone who is alive and had dissapointment in that life will not be able to ignore that this song touches all

[ThePinkguns]

this song is so pritty. david was succesfull making this song

[brian8600]

@ThePinkguns

it was his wife who wrote the words

he just performed the genuis that is the guitar sound

[darthinfurnus]

@FrustratedNameSearch

Do you still have that red strat? You should make a video with it. I love that red Gilmour strat. It's the Tone I like to hear most of the time when I think of what I want from a Strat.

[darthinfurnus]

I miss his red EMG equipped Strat for this song. That red Strat smokes for this tune.

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@darthinfurnus I actually built a clone of that guitar :) Bought a Wine-Red Mexi-Strat, and put the EMG DG-20 Gilmour Pickguard/Pickup set in it. The pickups cost more than the guitar LOL It sounded sweet when done though. I even cut 2" off the whammy bar :)

[BullhornGuy]

Too much compression on the intro guitar for my tastes...still love Dave though!

[iyep]

not the best gilmour I've seen, he misses a lot of notes in this video ! no offense I love dave but he was not as good as usually.

[chrstphr99b]

@iyep - lol. David Gilmour wrote the song, he can play it anyway he'd like. I notice all as well... He didn't go not for note but he doesn't have too. He's David Gilmour.

[FEARsc0pe]

@chrstphr99b plus hes 66 in this video hes not as quick lol

[FEARsc0pe]

@chrstphr99b sorry 62*

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@chrstphr99b He's never played the comfortably numb solo's the same way twice either. I like that he changes it up, though the version on The Wall is my favorite.

[daviddet]

@FrustratedNameSearch you gotta see the one at gdansk if you haven't already. that blows anything else out of the water. the tone he gets on it is absolutely brilliant.

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@iyep Not necessarily his fault. That is Strat # 0001 and back then the fretboards had a 7.5" Radius. Bending can be difficult enough on those, add the age of the instrument and fret-out's are to be expected.

[AllYouNeedIsMusic68]

I was there!!!!! WHEEYYYYY

gilmour is the ulitmate!

[Huubahop]

He can still sing great for his age!

Not many people of his age can reach those notes so clean i think

[nickveekens]

GILMOUR GILMOUR GILMOUR GILMOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes David Mustaine was right!

Every note gives me goosebumps!

Great to see strat No 1 out of the vault and in action!

[marcstrat]

Pink Floyd,yes!!David Gilmour one of the best guitarplayer on this planet.

[pikey2905]

Dave's strats is really old. I believe it is one of the first Strats ever made, when they where really good guiars.

[Flattwin4ever]

@pikey2905 This is Strat Number #0001 ...

[rileyts33]

Gilmour's guitar playing touches you're soul

[krollaostmedburger]

@rileyts33 YOUR soul. Not you're wich means you are

[tristateauto1]

Hope he lives to be 100 I cant imagine a world without Dave..

[bgtocak]

This strat serial number is 0001 :)

[ledzeppelin4485]

@bgtocak i don't think this is 0001 but i know gilmour has 0001. i would think 0001 would be sunburst cuz thats what strats were when they came out in 54

[bgtocak]

@ledzeppelin4485 yes it it, watch the interview david gilmour 2008 (2/2) on youtube and you'll see. I couldn't cat and paste it here, Youtube wouldn't lett me do it

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@ledzeppelin4485 It is indeed #0001.  Where better than the Strat Anniversary to bring it out :)

[trainwatcher116]

david gilmour forever!!!!!!!

[Tabla461]

Davey shows us what to play and also what not to play. He can make any note sound larger than life by doing so. "You know what's the loudest noise in the world, man? The loudest noise in the world is silence"-Thelonious Monk Music is the space between the notes Claude Debussy "Ours is a world of words: Quiet we we call silence- which is the merest word of all"- Al Aaraaf quoted by edgar allen poe in "silence- a fable" a fable about the power of silence.

[DAZADOOO]

the man !!!!!!

[fakesolid]

Ive never seen david sing as potent as in this video, his voice sounds godly, and his guitar sounds orgasmic

[TranceVelebit]

Amazing! I agree, he is genius! I'm so sad Gilmour and gang didn't make another album after The Division Bell :-(

[vmp0001]

AMAZING....

[Beolex]

Angel playing its harp.

[thedolphin13]

Because he's such a brilliant guitarist most people seem to forget that he's also an excellent vocalist.

V.

[1swede1]

From Dave Mustaine of Megadeth: "David Gilmour can do more with one note than most guitar players can do with the whole fretboard." Enough said.

[geisterbahn1]

@1swede1 Gilmour speaks directly to the central VIBE of humanity

[trainwatcher116]

@1swede1 megadeth rocks countdown with extention,david gilmour rocks.

[Si1301]

@1swede1 Some1 also has said david gilmour is to guitars as agels are to harps, cannot remember who just that they were in a rock band!

[geisterbahn1]

@1swede1 YEAH! COMMUNICATION IS ART AND ART IS CIVILISATION

[hotwerkMusic]

Supposedly, that is the first numbered Stratocaster, 001. Probably not the FIRST ever. But recognized as the first.

[suggsb2010]

Well said my friend...Could'nt have said it better myself...Gilmour is just a master guitar genious!

[stringslasher]

People who think in terms of scales and theory probably think Dave's style is limited. But, I consider him a virtuoso. He's not a shredder but, so many great guitarists overlook the side of playing that he maximizes. I learned a lot about making notes matter from him. I see great shredders more often than I see guitarists who can also include the kind of patient, smooth, emotional finesse and accurate note bending he does. I love both approaches. I think he deserves equally great status.

[xXBuccinOXx]

@stringslasher I totally agree. I'm bet he can shred though. I wouldn't be surprised.

[FrustratedNameSearch]

@stringslasher To me, Shredding is a Carnival Act, not music.

[stringslasher]

@FrustratedNameSearch When I think of some shredders, I can understand your point of view. For me personally, though, I want to be able to use any technique I can to express myself. I don't want to limit myself. But , yeah, it's gotta have a tune and a good groove. Nothing beats a good melody. I try to combine the two. They're opposite ends of a spectrum.

[CalvinMagnus]

@stringslasher and he sure has... :)

[thekeifernet]

@stringslasher

absolutely.... IMHO a few of the others ( although not always accompanied by vocals which also

sets Gilmore apart) that play with this deep of soul and feeling would be Jeff Beck and Laruie Wisefield

In a differnet tone but simiar you could include Elvin Bishop and Leslie West.

It's the "not ripping it" but slow bends and total "feel" of just a few well placed notes that can take you there.

Those guys do that thing best for me...

[bajtekt]

@stringslasher its easier to play fast :) Gilmour is my GOD

[yooyoomine]

@bajtekt u understand me

[louisalive]

@stringslasher shredding is easy, this isn't... there's no hiding behind licks

[tinrunner2000]

@stringslasher shredders can't make you feel emotion, and nobody makes you feel it Like David Gilmore. The way he pours emotion into the way he plays is unmatched. You ACTUALLY FEEL it!!

[stringslasher]

@tinrunner2000 I agree, when I think of robotic, non-stop shredding over meaningless, sterile backing tracks for no apparent reason. But, there are times when throwing some shredding in there adds fury and aggression to the tune, depending on the situation. I can be moved by it under those circumstances. I try to combine the two approaches. I'm pleased to see that so many Gilmour fans are out there 'cause he's underrated. You're right, he does tap into emotion at the deepest core within us.

[xPORTERLOOx]

@tinrunner2000 David Gilmour*

[61floyd61]

WOW! Young or old he is the best musician EVER!!! Gilmour takes his listeners along for a ride they will never forget, and that makes him simply a LEGEND...and a GENIUS!!!!

[3984ja]

I hope David gets to be 100+ years old playing that strat.

[atom2009]

"Wish I were there"

[Volendammtje]

Beautiful song,

Beautiful guitar!

[3tgiac]

magnifico!!! love this song so much i had to come back again and comment

[soricku]

this is one true happy guitar :)

[dking70]

Excellent, David Gilmore is the best hands down, Seen Floyd twice in 87 and 94, Come on David we need one more Pink Floyd Tour, You're fans are waiting..

[TheBatracia]

The Best!! David...........

[adamdude58]

un fucking beleivable!!

[scittball]

that guitar he"s playin is considered the holy grail of all guitars,the 1954 fender strat serial no.0001.Listen its god playin the grail.

[crisp2882]

this was a great performance by Gilmour

[comeawayinthenight]

To piosenka dla Roberta, najwspanialszego faceta wszech czasow

[Huubahop]

i totally agree,

stop whining!

it's one out of million notes this happens..

I agree you should be happy you still can enjoy his music!

[3tgiac]

amazing song

[Rozq87]

Here's the 5:25 explaination. I heard it too after listening to the solo. At first I thought that David didn't hit the string correctly. Though, since I've never heard David make a mistake I took a closer look. David did a hammer on a string but it didn't 'ring out' right. The strat and the pickups are very old.On the dvd I saw that after playing marooned which came first, David had to tune the guitar. So it got out of tune very fast. Thus, the 5:25 is not a mistake.

[taftmcintosh]

Stratocaster tremolos dont stay in tune very well at all, even the very very best ones go out of tune ever so much. The tremolos really on spring tension and are mounted via six screws. Add to that, gilmour sets his bridge at floating so it can be pulled up and pushed down. This keeps the tremolo from arriving back at a neutral position without manipulating it yourself with the bar. With some of the stuff ive seen him do on sorrow im surprised he stays in tune at all.

[kweli25]

I see that everyone points out that at around 5:25 Gilmour makes a mistake. It's well known fact that he was not feeling very well that night...that's why Sorrow and Marooned (most of it was improvisation) diddn't turn out as they supposed to. (for me they sound marvelous, btw). Gilmour's face expression tells that itself. (at least to them that knows him really well)

[TheEnanonano]

Si, la verdad q me sorprendio escuchar esos desperfectos en 1:00 y 5:25. Pero eso solo me hace saber que este hombre puede cometer errores como todos y NO OPACA PERO PARA NADA la brillantes de su creatividad como compositor y musico...... Es un maestro de maestros que sabe lo que hace con su guitarra y te hace sentir cosas al escucharlo que muy pero muy pocos artistas los logran

[ANTONIOPICCOLO]

Ho come la sensazione che suonasse un po' scazzazto in questo live, non capisco perchè.. tolta la stecca del minuto 05:26!! rimane sempre e comunque un grande!!

[kvolk99]

you have some nerve to point out that miss pick at 5:25......this is great music, by a great musician and guitar palyer

[spettacolare]

Gilmour is my guitar God and I have never seen this performance. I'm going to be honest and say that this is not one of his best performances, just one example 5:25.. but it makes me appreciate his genius even more. He gracefully exits mishaps. The responsability of being up there, playing perfect notes.. if it was me, I think i'd crap myself and call for mummy... we are all good playing in our bedrooms, but being up there takes nerves of steel every time. I never get tired of watching Dave.

[MacDrevi0us]

The man was definitely having a rough night....

[tomjwhite1972]

(3) My 23 year old son came into the room and said, "Yeah, Dad, you don't know who that guy is? He was with Pink Floyd.

My memory of Pink Floyd was listening to an 8-track of Us and Them and the Dark Side of the Moon while my brother drove our VW van through the winter tulle fog in the Sacramento Valley during the winter break of 1973 or 1974.

[tomjwhite1972]

(2) I'm not a sappy guy, but his playing brought tears to my eyes. The rhythm of the music, the swaying of the band players, and the chorus babes, all fit together into one explosive, cathartic expression of loss and recovery. The music is reminiscent of Clapton's River of Tears, but with more urgency and defiance.

[MacDrevi0us]

Check out his performance of "Marooned" from this same night. I think itll be right up your alley. One of the most amazing performances ive ever seen and stunningly beautiful guitar tone

[tomjwhite1972]

Thanks, Mac. Glimour is truly a virtuoso of a a guitar playing. You don't get to be that good with just mechanical ability alone -- it has to come from the soul.

-tomjwhite72

[tomjwhite1972]

(1) Unbelievable! I was flipping through the cable channels one night and stumbled upon the Strat Pack special. I happened to tune in just as this guy was stepping up on the stage, tuning up.

My initial thought was "who is this geezer?" I didn't recognize him, and I had no idea what Strat Pack was even all about.

From Gilmours very first note, I was mesmerized. As he played on, I couldn't belief such purity and poetry would have come up through my generation and I could have missed it.

[WTig3r]

Oh god.. He gets an amazing tone out of that '54 strat.

[Collette191107]

Just heard this for the first time today and fell in love with it

AWESOME!!!!

[Galavoti1]

Is the side man with the red strat the rhythm guitarist of Dire Straits at "On the Night" tour? (Just forgot his name!).

----

Il chitarrista con l'altra strato rossa è il chitarrista che suona con Mark Knopfler in "On the Night Tour"?(Ho dimenticato suo nome!)

[inticlapton]

Gilmour: la dimostrazione che una tecnica assolutamente semplice, accompagnata da una espressività e un tocco di una dolcezza rara valgono molto, ma molto di più di tanti coglioni dalle dita veloci e sentimento zero.

La classe non è acqua

[malgarbo]

parole sante fratello... altro che...

[sbandat90]

concordo con TheLaerte87

[TheLaerte87]

Senza parole...il migliore!!!

[74thecoach]

Beh, Gilmour è il mio chitarrista preferito. Le emozioni che sa regalare sono uniche.

[crk1121]

the drummer played this song too slow

[sbandat90]

great

[powderweb]

Gilmour amazing Gilmour... He could even be one of the best singers but indeed he "simply" plays the guitar... And when he plays it... The touch... The sound...

[darkmachete]

His singing is great for his music. And maybe a few other songs. I don't he is one of the best singers. The Thrill Is Gone by BB King wouldn't work well with Gilmours voice.

[powderweb]

touchée ;)

[Cyrax3579]

@powderweb  agreed

[utandaydar]

That isnt the "first" Strat ever made, rather it is the "first" Strat to have a SERIAL #--still a very storied and beautiful instrument

[wbrunisxx]

"I knew the moment had arrived

For killing the past and coming back to life.." This song remind me of my girlfriend, my life. . . My favorite song. . .Amazing, the great song of my life.

[USAF300]

He sounds like he did 30 years ago! Pink Floyd will rock forever!

[ilivealoneinaswamp]

@USAF300

He sure does! Floyd is the best!

[Yudaumguitarpro]

Fender american strat Serial #001 lol amazing

with the Hiwatts!

[ChablesMan]

That Strat has such a unique sound

[Gelomytor]

Probably the most intensive song ever!!!

Thx Dave

[KEP3365]

beautiful

[JeffBend]

indeed it is #001

[Rozq87]

#0001

[labanfuri]

One of my favorite song!

[edgaralejandrovilla]

Strat #0001

[jptpsm]

gilmour is the best musician ever

[Volendammtje]

Not true, but this is powerfull and great!

[solpicasso]

this song gave me the chill...é arrepiante. david gilmour toca com a alma!

[CherryTwoThree]

OK then, I recently lost my husband of 17 years and yes, this song sure does make me cry. I can picture him laying in that hospital bed looking out the window starring straight into the shining sun

[atmosser]

I hate people who say they start crying when hearing a nice song!

If the song reminds you to a friend or family who died, alright! post it and tell us how the song reminds you. But if the song doesnt remind you something emotional, stop posting such stupid things!

we know you´re not crying!

[jptpsm]

easy man..are you having a tough life? let people say what they want. in fact i agree with you but thats just a point... enjoy this amazing music and chill out

[atmosser]

I really do enjoy this music, but it was annoying for me so I had to post that comment

[Obelisk2290]

the  whole point f music is for you to feel emotions thats the power cause you cry makes you human it does not make you weak

[LXPETEXL]

hesss the man sooperb

[gilisfloyd]

i love people who say things that they have no knowledge about.....gilmour is a genius......

[bulletinthehead1]

I don't
