  • David Gilmour does what he loves... and loves what he does. that is to play and keep us wanting more

  • No one could ever replace u both....U have given us the music what mankind deserved....R.I.P. Rick & Syd.........

  • Say what you want. but Mr. Gilmour is a true gentleman, nothing flashy on stage but gives a lot of music at the concerts he did !

  • MASTERPIECE!!!

  • This should have been a 10 min solo by Gilmore... Yea RIP Richard, bummer dude but hey you're dead

  • sublime!!

  • R.I.P Syd and Rick

    i quess we all miss you

  • RIP Syd and Richard.

  • man.. every time he plays this solo live he makes it unique and badass.

  • This was my birthday celebration. I went through a box of klennex during this song

  • @uxbram You are so lucky! that must have been the best gift ever! I'm seeing Waters when he tours from this year into the next. Still waiting for David though. Hard to believe this tour was 4 years ago.

  • Bravo!

  • I was at this show, front row center and it was absolutely mind-blowing. One of the best concerts I have EVER seen in my short life. RIP Rick. Got Rick to shoot me a thumbs up. The playing was impeccable as was the music unleashed on the crowd.

  • POETRY. FROM ONE HUMAN HEART TO ANOTHER. BEAUTY, SENSITIVITY, AUTHORITY. This is a gorgeous song.

  • I paid $200 to go to this show and it was worth every penny. Still haven't had a better time at a concert.

  • This is sooooo much better without Waters.

  • i agree water's is awesome but he's a dick

  • singing-wise, yes. but at Live8 Waters was nasty on bass. and keep in mind he did write the lyrics of this song and most of the others in the Floyd repertoire.

  • eh, no... waters dont make the solo better or worse, the solo is lead guitar.... drum, bass, keyboard ect rythm

    dumbass get some iq before you say something again...

  • best guitar solo i have ever heard

  • whoever went to this concert can consider themselves as lucky motherfuckers

  • While that's technically correct, bookmdano, I can pretty much guarantee that's not how Gilmour and Waters (and Mason, don't forget) will be remembering Rick Wright. They'll be focusing on his many accomplishments in his short 65 years on the planet. After all, that's the subject of Gilmour's "On An Island", isn't it? "It's about how friends live on in your memories after they're gone." (RTN DVD)

  • David Gilmour en chile pleaseeeeeeeeee! soñar no cuesta nada!

  • for carrying on an old guy david gilmour has still got the talent of singing and playing the electric guitar

  • does David Gilmour still tour?

  • yeah he just finished a NA tour of smaller venues, last year, not that he cant fill the big arenas but he now prefers playing the smaller halls.

  • i think david gilmour, roger waters, nick mason should team up for a tribute gig for the late Richard Wright

  • fucking superb mate, we won't forget you richard wright

  • We'll always love you, Richard...

  • man i can never get enough of this song and the second solo every different version has a good solo, i mean really good solo

  • damn...that was awesome

  • This make's me want to swear......Fucking ACE!!!

  • Tanto tiempo que en cierto sentido "desperdicie" escuchando guitarristas que tocan 1000 notas x segundo y practicando escalas para sacar temas rapidimos, y despues escuchar Pink Floyd(q me abrio la cabeza) y ver que la velocidad no significa nada es la composicion, DAVID GILMOUR GRACIAS POR TU AYUDA!!!

    :D

    CHIRI

  • Gilmour es un ejemplo de poder, emoción, y la gracia cuando sus dedos comienzan su aventura en el reino de la absoluta paz y tranquilidad!

  • omfg..that was great!!!!!!!!!!!

  • David Gilmore`s physical body just aged but his heart and soul and mind are still magnetic and young .

  • Questa canzone è un fottuto spettacolo.. Poesia in note..

  • What??

  • I said that this song is fucking amazing.. So perfect.. :)

  • incredible

  • I was there! :D

  • guess what?!

    so was i!

    :P

  • I might have seen about 20 different versions of this song, but this is number one. Rick sings this song as if he was an angel, and David plays with his strings as if he were just fooling around. Still it might just be the best version of the solo as well. I love the guy hwo taped it and downloaded it. Can you vote 6/5?

  • AWESOME!! Mans a legend!

  • my god as brill as ever

  • i love the songs solo.

    every version of it...

    but my favourite one is the pulse 1994 version, check it out if you havent seen it..

    thank you asbandit for the video upload though

    5/5

  • one of the best guitar solos ever

  • absolutely superb.....

  • Pink Floyd's classic lineup is back for a tour in 2008!! spread the word pigs have flown!!!

  • no way... where did you hear this.??

  • in Hotmail news, the day before yesterday. The rumour started a few weeks ago when Mason declared it as a possibility. NOw its confirmed.

  • Rubbish.

  • I meant that the rumour about Floyd touring is rubbish..Not this performance.

  • Its all over the net: Mason said 2 months ago in a flash TV interview he spoke to Waters and he consented, so it was now up to David. I said bulshit, but then a week ago i saw it announced on Hotmail News: a charity tour right after Waters DSotM tour is being planned with the classic lineup. My guess is David finally consented. It is your choice to miss the best concert of the decade pal, im just the nmessenger here.

  • davids realy upset at the moment if playing a concert will make david really upset richard wouldnt want his best mate crying on stage he would want him to be happy and with his children so for the time being lets wait for people to get over the most kindest rockstar keybord player death to calm down hes not dead hes in our hearts our thoughts our souls our memorys

  • Yeah!! And so are The Beatles have i heard...

  • amazing

  • PERFEITO....Gilmour é deus da guitarra

  • Im wondering when will you realize that Gilmour is the one that makes that music so perfect. I wouldnt like Pink Floyd so much when there wouldnt stay an awesome Guitarman. Aye and i wouldnt like them so much if there would stay someone else that cant Play like him. Gilmour alone can Play like that perfectely without others . Guitarsound dont need good text.Yes and its Gilmour that know how to play cool solos . its not Waters that telling him about the Style he plays . so Gilmour is the point.

  • Okay enough arguing. Try this one on for size:

    Syd is the inspiration, Waters is the brains, Gilmour is the soul.

  • Syd has provided inspiration, but he is not the inspiration. Not everything Pink Floyd ever did revolved around Syd.

  • You're absolutely correct . . . and that is something I, too, have been arguing for a long time.

    Listen, there are a LOT of people who resent that Gilmour entered the fray, as if Floyd could keep writing about and singing about "Apples & Oranges" into the 1970s.

  • Roger is the better lyricist and main conceptual artist, but he is not the brains. To say that suggests the others were simply his side men which was not the case. Where Roger was more devoted to songwriting the others chose to focus more on musicianship to complement his strong lyrics.

  • Dave alone is not the soul, but the playing and singing of both Dave and Rick are the soul of Pink Floyd. Without their playing Pink Floyd's music would not be so timeless and moving 40 years later and counting.

  • What about Rick Wright, hes the best! lol, But overall, Roger is the lyricist, Gilmour put it together with music, and Syd barrett kicked Pink floyd off with Arnold Layne and was a huge inspiration to both, noticed in many of their songs they wrote about him

  • Love it.

    And the beauty of it is that this triumverate has produced art that soars well beyond the realm of individual genius.

  • Syd is the start. Gilmour is the brains. Gilmour is the soul.

  • Syd is the start. Waters is the brains. Gilmour is the heart and soul.

  • nicely put

  • @rjcosta and Wright is unneccecarily forgotten

  • @rjcosta richard and nick?

  • I WISH I WAS THERE!! =(((((

  • It's kinda funny. If they had Mason with them, it'd be Pink Floyd. I mean, even the backing band has played with PF for what, 20 years? How lame to leave Nick Mason out. It's always been like that. Wright and Gilmour, Mason and Waters. Hasn't Mason done something with Waters lately? Could be my imagination.

  • Mason did play a few songs on one of Gilmour's concerts. But he didn't work on Gilmour's solo album, so why would he tour with them? It's not like they're married, there's no need to look for reasons behind it.

    And yes, Mason played on some of Waters' concerts.

  • We also posted this song

  • This is the best version of ending solo i've ever seen. It's the best guitar solo in the world imo.. The guitar is crying so lovely..

  • Jemdrix, Pink is a combination of Water and Barrett. He says so in the Wall's commentary. Roger Water's dad died in the second world war... Pink's dad died in a war. But Syd's mom was overprotective, which is what the song "mother" is about. It's a combination

  • Syd, Roger, Dave, Rick and Nick are Pink. Not anyone member. When will people realize that no one member is bigger than the band. When Roger started that whole "Which one's Pink?" nonsense back in the 80's he was so clearly not in a healthy mental state.

  • Doh! "Which one's Pink" is a satire on the idea that an ignorant person wouldn't know that Pink Floyd is the band, not a single person.

    It captures the whole think perfectly!

  • one of my goals in life is to at least try to play this song

  • Same here. I am getting closer and closer but will never get close enough :)

  • not alone mate... i have betted with my brother that i can do the first solo of this song within 6 months... 10,000kr thats about 2000 us $.. so i have to make it... lol..

  • go on. Talk won't lead you anywhere. Anyone can play guitar, but you can't push things forward. You might die tomorrow.

  • too much emotion from the camera man!

  • David's fantastic solos don't seem to be from this world... They're unbelievable!!!

  • Oh, ecco Dio che suona la chitarra elettrica!

  • The master.

  • sublime

  • Gilmour is the music, Roger is the lyrics. I think good rock music is a combination of both. This makes Gilmour a better musician but Roger a better lyricist. As for who exactly is 'Pink' it's neither, Syd Barrett is Pink.

  • The best Guitar-Solo ever played. Respect, Dave!

  • David Gilmour is a Guitar GOD!!

  • i was there.

    paid $300 to see this and it was worth every peny of it.

    Saw rogers 2 times bat nothing ,i meen nothing compare to this

  • wow one of the best videos of this song thanks a lot this is amazing..

  • Great song, he really knows what he is doing.

  • David Gilmour hands down is the better musician . Rodger is a competant bass player , and a decent guitarist. David takes it all to a higher level . Rodger was always comfortable with his bass playing , David was always pushing his guitar playing . JMO

  • Roger Waters Place Was In Lyrics

  • I know I'm going to get attacked for this, but my vote is on Roger Waters. Overall, vocally for sure. On the guitar Doyle Bramhall II on In The Flesh. When I listen to David Gilmour play here, he just sounds stale and a bit slow in some parts, but great in others. Bramhall pours everything into that guitar, and the emotion you get out of that solo... I don't feel anymore from David. Thats jmo though.

  • out of 10, PF is a 10 all others don't break 5

  • This year I found "DSOTM" Vinyl, barely touched, in my fathers collection...I'm sure he played it, but if he would have played it more, maybe I would have found Pink Floyd earlier, and been fortuned to go on a consert with David!? Since I found them 2 years ago, I've been playing them almost every day. They also were "re-born" for my fatehr..and this year we saw Roger Waters...very very good show! /Floyd 4ever!

  • DAMN, HE'S BEAUTIFUL!

  • theres so much argument, on whos a better musisian waters or gilmore, in my eyes, (now i dint make this up i got it from a different post, but feal the same way) waters is the brains of PF cause he wrote alot of the material but lacks alot of emotion playing well takes, and gilmore is the heart, he plays with so much emotion

  • The argument isn't who's a better musician... because among everything else, Gimour played bass better than Roger... I think the argument is: who was "Pink"? My answer is both....

  • yea i would have to say both 2

  • JUST THE BEST.THE BEST BAND EVER.

  • the second best solo i ve ever heard.. in pulse still rules----

  • Thats jimi hendrix's guitar strap on david

  • I have to say this is excellent for an audience one

  • Genius!!! The best version of the second solo I've ever heard!!!

  • i have seen david twice and roger twice and davids beat rogers shows but roger puts on a better visual show.

  • I agree . . . but that is because Roger NEEDS the visuals to complement his good but not great set whereas Gilmour just plays REALLY GREAT music.

  • yeah thats true. david plays better "music"

  • ...Let's not begin to pretend that David Gilmour's solo tour(s?) remotely compare in scope or longevity to what Roger Waters has been doing for the past seven years.

  • Gilmour never sought the scope that you speak of (i.e. just simply doing stadium/arena rock concerts) but rather purposefully chose to do smaller venues. The inevitable result is that fewer people could see a Gilmour show and then paid upwards of $600 in NYC and $500 in Toronto to see him.

  • I can assure you that with all respect to Roger Waters and his intelligence (not genius) as far as rock stars go (if you want "genius" pick up a book as intellectuals are not found in pop music), Gilmour's musicianship illustrates beyond a shadow of a doubt where the Pink Floyd sound came from. You need only listen to the dilapidated Waters(minus "Amused" where he had Beck mimic the Gilmour atmospherical soundscape) to realize how much Gilmour was missed.

  • Why Gilmour does not use visuals is strange for a former member of Floyd. But remember, Gilmour used the biggest visuals in the history of music on the PULSE (aka Division Bell tour). At the same time Syd and the old Floyd line-up were big on visuals before Gilmour came so in some ways he was not part of that original history.

  • Roger - the s heh heh Appologies

  • No matter how many times you listen to this song, It will always Stagger you the power this thing has.Quite Possibly the Most Beautiful Harmonized Songs of all times, Goes Beyond words. Loved to See a concert with them and Rogers together again.

  • pink floyd just awesome the greatest of all time

  • what state was that in or country... you know i heard a band new band thats trying to act like them

  • toronto, canada.

  • indeed. the mostest awesomest band of all time.

  • one of the best halls to play in, the wonderful massey hall

  • I saw him on this tour first in Hamburg,then in Austria, and I can tell you he is the most wonderful musician you ever can listen to.always worth the money,no matter what the tickets costs. go and see him while you have the chance...

  • i wish i was there also man david gilmour richard wright ...man ...the legends

  • I wish I was there. David kicks ass!!!

  • EXTREMELY PERFECT

  • One of these Days I will go for another Pink Floyd/Roger Waters/David Gilmour Concert!

    I am obsessed listening to them LIVE.

  • im 16 and ive seen red hot chili peppers, and i missed eric clapton and roger waters. i am so mad, im never gonna miss any good concerts again

  • nice

  • Rick Wright was also a huge part in the success of pink floyd from wish you were here album and before. He is not in the spotlight very much, but he deserves to be, because he contributed a lot in the success of early pf to mid pf.

  • They both but on good damn live shows, but there is something missing when you go and see roger waters live,Gilmour's tone. Roger Waters would not look as much of a genius if it were not for Gilmour, and likewise. No one should say who is the genius behind pf, if they didn't have one or the other, pf would have probably washed away in the late 60s and early 70s. They both are extremely and equally talented musicians.

  • For all the people that say Roger Waters is the genius behind Pink Floyd, Well they are PARTIALLY correct. Roger Waters was without a doubt a mastermind of lyric writing and basic song writing, but the sound,the tone, the atmosphere, the solos, even some of the vocal harmonies we think of pink floyd, but that is all because of Gilmour. Without Gilmour, Roger Waters would not be nearly as successful as he is now, likewise with Gilmour.

  • I saw them live on Denmark

  • I was lucky enough to see both of Gilmours shows at massey hall and they were the best ive ever seen. I have seen two of rogers shows but they just dont compare to this.The is one of the if not the best solo i have ever seen David play. I think he is the greatest guitarist of all time.

  • damn, I really should have myself over to T.O. for at least one of the Gilmour shows. I will come to regret that . . . but won't let it happen again.

    And, by the way, I totally agree. Waters puts on a great show. Gilmour puts on a great show. But Gilmour wins by a nudge because he IS the epic musicianship behind the Pink Floyd Sound.

  • I just saw Roger Waters in Toronto on the 14th... and I was lucky enough to see Gilmour at this concert here... and with Richard Wright on keyboards, it was by far a better performance... hes the guitarist of floyd for christsakes...

  • No one can play that Solo like Gilmour can.

    Absolutely Amazing.

  • This is my favourite Floyd song as well. This song makes me cry. David Gilmour: what a legend.

  • David Gilmour puts so much soul and spirit into his playing! Cool thing about him is that he was getting the cool delayed effects in the early 70's before ANYONE else!!

  • DAvid Gilmour puts the "ABSOLUTELY AMAZING" in Pink Floyd. Wait...

    No really, This is my favorite Floyd Song

  • His playing was absolutely Superb

    But what it was Roger's creative Genius that revealed his full potential.

  • BEAUTIFUL ...I love it... David Gilmour ...You da man....

  • F me sideways !! Just when I thought I saw everything.

    I saw everything done 10 fold than ever before.

  • Explained with more detail.

    If a terrorist came to my home tonight and shoved a stick of dynomite up his ass and blew peices of me all over the wall. I Don't f in care. I have seen/done bad, I have loved, I have seen freedom, And I have seen Pulse Live in person. And now I have seen this. Extra bonus. Where is my pine box.

  • Geatest album have u seen the movie on ww.globalrapture dot com???

  • hi i`m from argentina and i would like to know when was this show??

  • Roger waters just isn't what he used to be. He can't carry the tune anymore. On the other hand, DAVID GILMOUR ROCKS THE FUCKING HOUSE!

  • thank you so much for posting the link for dl...

  • i was at the show too :) do you have echoes? that was my fav song of that night.

  • I have no words... Pure perfection! Thank you, Mr. Gilmour!

  • Also do you have wish you were here, the previous song at this concert?

  • We're you on the floor or first level?

  • I was there and I filmed some, but yours has much more quality. Thanx for putting up these.

  • This is MUCH better than the version Gilour was doing with Pink Floyd in the late 80's (and early 90's) which was too down tempo.

  • Too down tempo?? Welcome to Pink Floyd bro... you obviously haven't been paying much attention.

  • Yes, the actual rhythm was too slow. The version from the 1980's was not as good as it had been in its original tempo. When Roger Waters plays it live, and apparently now David as well, he keeps it in the same time as it was written. I wasn't sying that it was "too dark" I was saying that they slowed it down toom much, but they must have realised it and returned to performing it the way it was meant to be.

  • best song ever

  • gilmour god.

  • david come to the argentina please

    you got a lot of fans in my country

    i hope to see you here sometime

    and sorry for my english

  • Fantastic! Dave Gilmour is my guitar hero. Fantastic to see Rick Wright on keyboard too.

  • orgasmic =D

  • perferct, but not pink floyd

  • what is it then?

  • I love this song so much. I've seen and heard many versions of the song (none in person, unfortunately), and this version stepped it up a notch or two. Absolutely fantastic.

  • Sorry, I wasn't there...I was at the concert in last 80'es, when the wall fell. That what was I ment...sorry.

  • Actually, I have a feeling, David expresses well the emotional pain through this song....via his play on the guitar...

  • I was at this show, it was awesome!

  • I was there too..only I had to stand way back.

  • dont like bands playing in a room you can here ecos and stuff makes it sound bad.

  • EXPECTACULAR!

  • I saw him in Chicago a few nights later, same seating area, great show, you did a great job. Thanks for the flashback.

  • I saw him in Chicago as well...he was SUPERB!!! Best night of my life :)

  • AWESOME! What camera were you using? Because that was some great quality.

  • I ve heard the "Flesh" with Waters, other non PF versions too. Comfortably Numb breaths through Gilmour. Everything else sounds like amateur music or something. Even if he is not looking like he used to do, he can play gittar like only a few can. RESPECT.

  • David gilmour play and sing amazing as 60years old person

  • David gilmour play amazing for 60years old person...
