This song has the sound of later-period Floyd and was a cover song. If you look at the rest of Gilmour's first solo album, you easily understand why this was the crucial track. Gilmour-led Floyd was a corporate construct, all the songs written by committee, based on a carefully-manicured version of the band's later sound. This is the track that made a vision of Pink Floyd as it existed from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason on possible. Gilmour could make the sound, but couldn't write the songs.

Such an inspiring poet. He can compose, sing, and play guitar beyond the horizon. Such finesse, such a singing tone in every dimension... creates astounding shapes, colors, textures and contours like a master sculptor... and understated, yet powerful and devastatingly beautiful... sigh... :-)
No no no, Syd Barrett was the soul and spirit behind floyd throughout all time, present or not Pink Floyd is Syd Barrett, I'm sure the members of PF would agree, he was the essence of floyd's inspiration.. Yet it was necessary for him to part ways with Floyd otherwise Dark Side, Wish you were here and the wall would have never been...David merely replaced Syd.
@TheWelcome7 I agree that David replaced Syd, however David took them to new heights. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, although the tribute to Syd, I also see it as how good Pink Floyd can be without him as the frontman.
This The Song That "Brings You Into The Music" (Nothing Else Matters !!) The David Gilmore First Solo Album Does This !! The Beatles, Led Zep, KISS, Mountain, Zappa...All Had The Talent To Release You From Everyday Living By Drawing You Into Their Circle !! Rock N Roll !!
Roger may have reformed but he is still arrogant. Talented, but arrogant. Bit too arrogant for me to go see the Wall tour again. I much prefer Gilmour. I still love the Wall album though.
The Pink Floyd is a band, it always will be a band. the greatest of all time. and I thank Syd, roger, David, Rick, and Nick for everything they all have done together. The music that you all have created together keeps me going every day.
Davids guitar god like qualities are his abiltiy to tell a story with his fingers ,, but more than that he wants you to believe and love the story ,, he is truely making love to your ears ,,,, thats is what puts him at the pinnacle of guitar gods
Thumbs down for me , But he is the best Guitar Player and singer . Doing the basic , he manages to do things that no other can do , even doing the same . He has a conjunct of qualities that really makes him different . I never heard that he was extravagant or arrogant with fans or in Hotels, and i really doubt he used drugs when it was fashionable in that time.
@taariqtaariq the wine i knew that he was a connoisseur, not at the level of a drunk, the acid i thought he just had some tries, but coke it is new for me. Anyway, he was fortunate by God to have not the same destiny as Barrett. Thanx for the information. May God bless you!
To taka muzyka ,że jak usłyszałem będąc w II LO to wymiekłem choć już od dawna słuchałem PINK FLOYDÓW i pozostałem ich fanem choc upłyneło już parę lat.
Ten kawałek odkryłem na nowo 3 dni temu z czego sie cieszę bardzo .
I have always loved Pink Floyd and the haunting guitar of David. I think we have a lot to thank the UK for. All of the greatest bands of my era came from there and I'm in awe of the amount of amazing music that was produced by them.
@Driver8852: Well, not *all* the greatest, but majority of the greatest did. Scores of UK musicians took up the output of the black blues pioneers from the US and cranked it back out of Marshall amps as Rock and Roll, then quickly bent it into totally new forms of music. Less than 10 years after the Beatles first records arrived here in the US, UK musicians were innovating in directions that fired imaginations worldwide.
@Driver8852 - Yeah that 'progressive' edge. Love it! Complex, yet beautiful... a tough thing to pull off. My heart, mind and soul blends into stuff like Yes, Genesis, Floyd etc... The whole band of course is a collective genius... but I must admit that Gilmour was an astonishing seed... composer, poet, singer, guitar player, philosopher. I am certain that you are of similar acumen. It takes as much talent to be an audience as it does to be a performer... both count on it to be 'entertained'.
well Mr. 0652411, you are certainly not a rare number, because Americans obviously really like to underscore opinions with some kind of offenses.
It is well known, that Beatles and Pink Floyd worked door to door in Abbey Road and they talked and get inspired with each other, specially when it came to use sound effects. In the 60s they still communicated, not same like today with some kind of hate phrases because of different styles or egocentric manners. Nothing foolish, but funny.. why not.
It is a certain fact, that the world wouldnt be the same without Pink Floyd.
Even the Beatles have learnt from them during their Pipers.. Sessions and made then the historical Sergant Peppers Album, also not forgotten Alan Parsons, Porcupine Tree, the big Wall concert in Berlin and so on and on...
And finally, my own life has began to change 1980, when I was 12 and heard the Wall Album in East Germany up and down.... ;)
@GroovyShirts1 do realize what are you saying or just talking craps???? pink floyd is a great band but saying that they're inspired beatles for Sgt Peppers Album is just foolish....actually funny
@0652411 I once read that when the Pink Floyd were experimenting with ideas for light shows...in some cramped little dark basement of a club......members of The Beatles ( I don't recall the year...or if they were even that well known at the time ) would pop in to enjoy the experience. I believe Waters was credited with sort of coming up with the concept, by having color slides projected onto them as they played. You couldn't even recognize their faces. Lots of folks tripping on the LSD then.
you used a paste tense, so I didn't understand that. you said "DG was ..." and I said "DG IS ..." because is still one of the greatest guitarist off all time :)
Waters was a twat and always will be . If The other three were not such consummate gentlemen they would have buried the stupid prick after the Wall when he tried to destroy the band, and what he did to Rick was just disgusting
@mutation999 I have seen Rogers show and know him to be a genius ,, you are correct about his youth and the jkind of person he was ,,But i believe he has discarded his demons and has embrassed his fans ,,, I believe his current tour is him asking for forgiveness
@pigsontherun Man? Everyone has their own take on The Floyd, but I gotta say to you that Sid was the band. Roger came up with the concept album after he was clueless without Sid. Thank God he and Dave collaborated to make such great music.
unreal, david gilmour is just amazing...my god they were lucky to find him, amazing guitar player and a fucking fantastic dreamy angelic voice...and sounding as good as ever at 64. hard to believe when you look and see how young and kiddish he looked.
@Aleromero77 It's a song originally done by a band called Unicorn. Gilmour produced their album "too many crooks" in 1976 and then covered their song on his first, self titled solo album
DG is one of the most melodic and original players ever to pick up a strat...so what if he runs it through a heap of stuff..still sounds great...i feel really sorry for you magicbag6790 you obviously haven't a good ear for music...Scott Henderson uses an octavia pedal BTW, so did and does the rev Billy Gibbons...another two amazing players..AFAIK DG's choice is the simple Big Muff....get you ears syringed out with hot water and open your mind and there is still time for you.....
and i know you dont have music ability cause you obviously arent adept enough to hear the other guitar behind him playing in unison... jesus some of you kids need to learn some basic theory.. like it or not rock uses the same terminology as beethoven.
magicbag, i know you are frustrated that music doesnt come naturally to you, but at least try to understand some history before you go all jackass. gilmour didnt use octavia pedals, in fact, that doesnt make sense, because an octavia is the name of one pedal. second of all, syd barret actually learned and ripped from gilmour in college... syd couldnt play lick... notice his use of noise and delay, which he also copped from rick wright and gilmour. and guess who produced some of syds solo work?
strip Gilmour from all of his stupid octavia pedals, and all the other shit he is running, and Gilmour has nothing. At least Syd had enough talent to sound good with effetcs (Pink Floyd) and w/o (The Madcap Laughs).. this kinda shit inspired really shitty ballad bands.
dude serouisly you need to chill out relax get laid david gilmour had more talent than syd come he taught syd how to play guitar while they were at school
@magicbag6790 A lot of the guitar on the syd albums was done Session musicians and David Gilmour! He was a fried egg dude and was being propped up. "Roger Waters and David Gilmour were in the process of completing Pink Floyd's ambitious Ummagumma album when they got involved with The Madcap Laughs that July and helped Barrett finish his album"
Thanks for all of the cool background folks. I've never even heard of this single work before until now! As I look at it now, it almost seems like a 'beta' version of the Wall concerts and everything that came later, i.e. the wall of sound as well that they had as the backup singers... especially the latter. I see a great deal of due credit belongs to Gilmour
Looking at some of the comments on this video I can tell you some of the beand members.
The bassist is Rick Willis and the drummer is Willie Wilson. Both played on the David Gilour album. The other guitarist is Tim Renwick and the keyboardist is Ian McLagan of the Faces.
Two of the backing vocalists are Katie Kissoon and Vicky Brown. can't see the other girl vocalist I'm afraid but it is an interesting line up.
Nearly, but not quite! The other guitarist is David's younger brother, Mark. The backing singer on the left is Joanne Stone and the one on the right is Liza Strike with (as you say) Vicki Brown in the middle.
It was filmed at The Roxy in London along with Mihalis, So Far Away, No Way and I Can't Breathe Anymore.
yes you are correct as I have subsequently found out by getting the pewrformances myself and having a closer look. Didn't recognise the other guitarist though so thanks for that. Amazingly I didn't know he had done this. Wonderful stuff though
Nearly, but not quite! It was filmed at Super Bear Studios in Miraval, France. Floyd actually recorded some bits of The Wall there, the year after this was made.
The album was recorded at Super Bear studios but as you can see this is a theatre with a stage and not a recording studio and according to the book "The Black Strat" by Phil Taylor, David's guitar technician of 35 years, this is The Roxy in London.
What I find amusing is the bassist.Leaning and bending like he's a real Jam session,when he plays 1 note every 2 seconds,and David does all the work!,lol.
Roger wrote majority of lyrics. However, Rick Wright and David Gilmour wrote most of the music on Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. Animals was the first album where Roger went on his power trip which lasted until his 1985 resignation. Feeling cheated from writing on Animals due to Roger's controlling attitude, both Wright and Gilmour did solo albums in 1978 (both of which kick ass).
roger always had a fare share in writing the music. he just gained nearly all the control by animals its true, but he wrote a large portion of the music on dark side and wish you were here. even the earlier albums as well.
Up to Dark Side, Roger mainly wrote lyrics and occasional music (which David Gilmour and Rick Wright wrote most music after Syd Barrett left). Most of WYWH (about 26 minutes of the album was musically by Gilmour and Wright and DG wrote the music for WYWH (another 5 minutes of music)). Animals was the first album where Roger became an egotistical madman in not letting Rick contribute to the album.
no actually not all of the music in shine on was written by rick and david. david actually wrote the 4 note intro only. the Bb F G E part. rick wrote the intro and outro while roger wrote the music for the verses and chorus. so no thts not true. and yes dave wrote the music for the song WYWH. rick contributed more music to shine on than dave did, while again, roger contributed a large portion.
SOYCD Part 1 was RickW and DG's music (Roger helped with sound effects so he got credit). Part 2 (4 note riff) was DG and also RickW. Part 3 was RickW and DG technically. Part 4 was RWaters (lyrics)/RickW/DG, Part 5 was technically all three (the sax solo, FUCK WIKIPEDIA'S CRAZY CLAIMS). Parts 6,7 and 8 was ALL THREE. Part 9 was RickW. Animals was where the band feeling was first absent and RWaters wrote a bulk of record alone (apart from Dogs). RWaters got greedier and crazier with success.
of course great and amazing musicians, in my case, Roger Taylor & Nick Mason were the inspiration for me to play the drums, and certainly on that list must be John Bonham, Bill Ward...
Stop to talk about Queen everybody!!! This is David Gilmour!! And Brian in Queen can't play!! But for this one: Great performance! How great guitarist! How great singer! What's the name of the song?
David Gilmour inspires me to make great music his music definitely moves me and my emotions... pink floyd reminds me of car rides with my father when i was a kid i was raised on this style of music and others ever since i heard echoes live in pompeii i have been inspired to carry on the legacy of timeless music. Now excuse me while i light my spliff.
David Gilmour and Rick Wright did their solo debuts in 1978 as their contributions on Animals was nonexistant. Animals was the first album where RickW didn't write anything and DG only wrote the music to Dogs whilst RWaters did everything else. Feeling creatively frustrated, DG and RickW made solo efforts (DG with self titled and RickW with Wet Dream) whilst RWaters wrote the initial Wall and Pros and Cons demos and Nick Mason was producing The Damned and Steve Hillage albums and auto racing.
From a hardcore floyd fan its fair to say that without gilmour they would never have hit so many highs, not of the drug induced kind but musically! inspirational figure and producer.
I said it before and i'll say it again, just AMAZING. Todays music lacks the truth that only musicans of this caliper can grasp and make us all understand.
Maybe one day music wont suck, til then, I've got the great David Gilmour.
It IS actually a harmonica! Though where it's coming from here is a bit of a mystery. I have an interview where DG says that on the record, it's a harmonica double tracked with a guitar. On this live recording you can hear it cropping up every so often (eg just after the line ..."You watch it go" just as it does on the record. Dare I suggest it's on a backing tape? Obviously everything else is live.
The more I listen to it, the more I think you've uncovered something here, CHEVYKEVYSS! The harmonica IS on a backing tape! The only instrument which is capable of producing a sound like a harmonica is a modern synth, yet the keboardist is playing a Hammond which cannot possibly sound like a harmonica. We know that DG can play harmonica, so my theory is that rather than get a session player in just to play 1 song, he just used his own harmonica track from the album master tape! Nice one!
Fair point Olires. But who is doing the male harmony vocal from (for example) 0.45 when David is the only one apart from the female singers with a mic?! From "Guitar Player" Nov 1984: "On There's No Way Out of Here, there's a harmonica-like sound at the beginning. It's hard to get a handle on what the instrument really is.
Gilmour: Good. That was the intention! It's a fuzztone-distorted guitar double-tracked with a harmonica." It's definitely not a Talk box 'cos there's no mouth tube.
It sounds like it might be a "talkbox".. you know the same device Peter Frampton used famously to create the talking guitar effect on 'Do you feel like we do'. Joe Walsh used it too.. on 'Rocky Mountain High'
I'm implying that the other 4 greats don't have the voice, nor the presence in their songs that Gilmour has, and I can't think of another song that has the same, raw emotional power found in a solo like Comfortably Numb. Gilmour has it all.
I'm fairly new to appreciating Floyd/Gilmour, but the more I see and hear from this guy, the more I'm convinced he's the total package: technique, creativity, style, voice, etc. Compared to Gilmour...Page, Beck, Clapton and Cropper are each missing something.
there is no substitute. I love Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. Totally different guitarist. The thing I love in Gilmour's playing is his tone and melody; he is not worlds most technical player, but... that doesn't matter to me. I'm bored with the Vai's and Satriani's of this world :-)
Sorry guys...been a Floyd fan long time...love em big big time and have seen them a fair few times too...you are wrong to compare Gilmore to Beck and the likes...am sure Dave would agree too....they are all great at what they do!!
This is actually a filmed performance which David Gilmour's record labels (Columbia/CBS in most of the world and Harvest/EMI for Europe) released to pre-MTV television music shows like Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and Midnight Special here in the US and Old Grey Whistle Test in the UK for promotion as DG couldn't tour to support the album (he did a series of radio and media interviews which were his first interviews with US media as Pink Floyd avoided the press in the States prior to 1978).
This song has the sound of later-period Floyd and was a cover song. If you look at the rest of Gilmour's first solo album, you easily understand why this was the crucial track. Gilmour-led Floyd was a corporate construct, all the songs written by committee, based on a carefully-manicured version of the band's later sound. This is the track that made a vision of Pink Floyd as it existed from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason on possible. Gilmour could make the sound, but couldn't write the songs.

@Aleromero77 It's a song originally done by a band called Unicorn. Gilmour produced their album "too many crooks" in 1976 and then covered their song on his first, self titled solo album

GREAT GUITARIST GILMOUR

I'm obsessed ... because he could sing and play like this, and look like the youtube

Thanx to the poster, and the 70's ... I'd go back in time for that :)

DG is one of the most melodic and original players ever to pick up a strat...so what if he runs it through a heap of stuff..still sounds great...i feel really sorry for you magicbag6790 you obviously haven't a good ear for music...Scott Henderson uses an octavia pedal BTW, so did and does the rev Billy Gibbons...another two amazing players..AFAIK DG's choice is the simple Big Muff....get you ears syringed out with hot water and open your mind and there is still time for you.....

and i know you dont have music ability cause you obviously arent adept enough to hear the other guitar behind him playing in unison... jesus some of you kids need to learn some basic theory.. like it or not rock uses the same terminology as beethoven.
boonexy 2 years ago 3
magicbag, i know you are frustrated that music doesnt come naturally to you, but at least try to understand some history before you go all jackass. gilmour didnt use octavia pedals, in fact, that doesnt make sense, because an octavia is the name of one pedal. second of all, syd barret actually learned and ripped from gilmour in college... syd couldnt play lick... notice his use of noise and delay, which he also copped from rick wright and gilmour. and guess who produced some of syds solo work?

strip Gilmour from all of his stupid octavia pedals, and all the other shit he is running, and Gilmour has nothing. At least Syd had enough talent to sound good with effetcs (Pink Floyd) and w/o (The Madcap Laughs).. this kinda shit inspired really shitty ballad bands.

@magicbag6790 A lot of the guitar on the syd albums was done Session musicians and David Gilmour! He was a fried egg dude and was being propped up.

Thanks for all of the cool background folks. I've never even heard of this single work before until now! As I look at it now, it almost seems like a 'beta' version of the Wall concerts and everything that came later, i.e. the wall of sound as well that they had as the backup singers... especially the latter. I see a great deal of due credit belongs to Gilmour

Looking at some of the comments on this video I can tell you some of the beand members.
The bassist is Rick Willis and the drummer is Willie Wilson. Both played on the David Gilour album. The other guitarist is Tim Renwick and the keyboardist is Ian McLagan of the Faces.
Two of the backing vocalists are Katie Kissoon and Vicky Brown. can't see the other girl vocalist I'm afraid but it is an interesting line up.
Wonder if anything else was filmed
rockahead 2 years ago
Nearly, but not quite! The other guitarist is David's younger brother, Mark. The backing singer on the left is Joanne Stone and the one on the right is Liza Strike with (as you say) Vicki Brown in the middle.
It was filmed at The Roxy in London along with Mihalis, So Far Away, No Way and I Can't Breathe Anymore.
nickhirst999 2 years ago
yes you are correct as I have subsequently found out by getting the pewrformances myself and having a closer look. Didn't recognise the other guitarist though so thanks for that. Amazingly I didn't know he had done this. Wonderful stuff though

Nearly, but not quite! It was filmed at Super Bear Studios in Miraval, France. Floyd actually recorded some bits of The Wall there, the year after this was made.
Mikemaniax 2 years ago
The album was recorded at Super Bear studios but as you can see this is a theatre with a stage and not a recording studio and according to the book "The Black Strat" by Phil Taylor, David's guitar technician of 35 years, this is The Roxy in London.

Waters was the brains behind Pink Floyd. He wrote the majority of their music.
rjkahlon 2 years ago
Roger wrote majority of lyrics. However, Rick Wright and David Gilmour wrote most of the music on Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. Animals was the first album where Roger went on his power trip which lasted until his 1985 resignation. Feeling cheated from writing on Animals due to Roger's controlling attitude, both Wright and Gilmour did solo albums in 1978 (both of which kick ass).
floydgenesisnut 2 years ago
roger always had a fare share in writing the music. he just gained nearly all the control by animals its true, but he wrote a large portion of the music on dark side and wish you were here. even the earlier albums as well.
aripahs 2 years ago
Up to Dark Side, Roger mainly wrote lyrics and occasional music (which David Gilmour and Rick Wright wrote most music after Syd Barrett left). Most of WYWH (about 26 minutes of the album was musically by Gilmour and Wright and DG wrote the music for WYWH (another 5 minutes of music)). Animals was the first album where Roger became an egotistical madman in not letting Rick contribute to the album.
floydgenesisnut 2 years ago
no actually not all of the music in shine on was written by rick and david. david actually wrote the 4 note intro only. the Bb F G E part. rick wrote the intro and outro while roger wrote the music for the verses and chorus. so no thts not true. and yes dave wrote the music for the song WYWH. rick contributed more music to shine on than dave did, while again, roger contributed a large portion.
aripahs 2 years ago
SOYCD Part 1 was RickW and DG's music (Roger helped with sound effects so he got credit). Part 2 (4 note riff) was DG and also RickW. Part 3 was RickW and DG technically. Part 4 was RWaters (lyrics)/RickW/DG, Part 5 was technically all three (the sax solo, FUCK WIKIPEDIA'S CRAZY CLAIMS). Parts 6,7 and 8 was ALL THREE. Part 9 was RickW. Animals was where the band feeling was first absent and RWaters wrote a bulk of record alone (apart from Dogs). RWaters got greedier and crazier with success.

Now excuse me while i light my spliff.

David Gilmour and Rick Wright did their solo debuts in 1978 as their contributions on Animals was nonexistant. Animals was the first album where RickW didn't write anything and DG only wrote the music to Dogs whilst RWaters did everything else. Feeling creatively frustrated, DG and RickW made solo efforts (DG with self titled and RickW with Wet Dream) whilst RWaters wrote the initial Wall and Pros and Cons demos and Nick Mason was producing The Damned and Steve Hillage albums and auto racing.

From a hardcore floyd fan its fair to say that without gilmour they would never have hit so many highs, not of the drug induced kind but musically! inspirational figure and producer.

What is that effect he uses at the begining that makes his guitar sound like a harmonica.
CHEVYKEVYSS 3 years ago
It IS actually a harmonica! Though where it's coming from here is a bit of a mystery. I have an interview where DG says that on the record, it's a harmonica double tracked with a guitar. On this live recording you can hear it cropping up every so often (eg just after the line ..."You watch it go" just as it does on the record. Dare I suggest it's on a backing tape? Obviously everything else is live.
nickhirst999 3 years ago
The more I listen to it, the more I think you've uncovered something here, CHEVYKEVYSS! The harmonica IS on a backing tape! The only instrument which is capable of producing a sound like a harmonica is a modern synth, yet the keboardist is playing a Hammond which cannot possibly sound like a harmonica. We know that DG can play harmonica, so my theory is that rather than get a session player in just to play 1 song, he just used his own harmonica track from the album master tape! Nice one!
nickhirst999 3 years ago
But how can they have only a harmonica on a backing tape? How could they play in time with it?
olires 3 years ago
Fair point Olires. But who is doing the male harmony vocal from (for example) 0.45 when David is the only one apart from the female singers with a mic?! From "Guitar Player" Nov 1984: "On There's No Way Out of Here, there's a harmonica-like sound at the beginning. It's hard to get a handle on what the instrument really is.
Gilmour: Good. That was the intention! It's a fuzztone-distorted guitar double-tracked with a harmonica." It's definitely not a Talk box 'cos there's no mouth tube.
nickhirst999 3 years ago
It sounds like it might be a "talkbox".. you know the same device Peter Frampton used famously to create the talking guitar effect on 'Do you feel like we do'. Joe Walsh used it too.. on 'Rocky Mountain High'
But I don't know...
westcoast1965 3 years ago
I'm implying that the other 4 greats don't have the voice, nor the presence in their songs that Gilmour has, and I can't think of another song that has the same, raw emotional power found in a solo like Comfortably Numb. Gilmour has it all.
WillisStrong 3 years ago
I'm fairly new to appreciating Floyd/Gilmour, but the more I see and hear from this guy, the more I'm convinced he's the total package: technique, creativity, style, voice, etc. Compared to Gilmour...Page, Beck, Clapton and Cropper are each missing something.

there is no substitute. I love Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. Totally different guitarist. The thing I love in Gilmour's playing is his tone and melody; he is not worlds most technical player, but... that doesn't matter to me. I'm bored with the Vai's and Satriani's of this world :-)

This is actually a filmed performance which David Gilmour's record labels (Columbia/CBS in most of the world and Harvest/EMI for Europe) released to pre-MTV television music shows like Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and Midnight Special here in the US and Old Grey Whistle Test in the UK for promotion as DG couldn't tour to support the album (he did a series of radio and media interviews which were his first interviews with US media as Pink Floyd avoided the press in the States prior to 1978).
