Really enjoyed the video you created for this incredible song. The stills were great, but the video footage really helped me feel connected to Gilmour & what he was experiencing when he wrote the song. GOOD stuff & added to my favorites. :)
I'd do anything to get my hands on a live video version if it exists. I have looked everywhere & have found no live video clips of Near The End. There's a live concert audio clip on youtube but no concert footage. Plenty clips from his 1984 tour exists but not this song. When you listen to this solo, something tells me that there's no video clip by design due to it's preciousness. If someone knows that it is available just respond to my comment here or send me a private message here on youtube.
There's alot of cheap music now these days on tv and radio in my opinion, that doesnt giveme a good feeling at all, but David Gilmour music has a both high quality on the music he's fucking genious, and his music makes me feels so damn good!They should play more David Gilmour and Pink Floyd on the radio ! :D
@nowandzen7 Jeff Porcaro made his bones with Toto. He was one of the best drummers in Rock history and was one of the most sought after session drummer in the early 80's.
@Metamorphosis33 I am with you 100% The solo at the end (last minute or so) breaks me down to tears everytime. It is like he is crying to the heavens with his guitar solo and in turn I am brought to tears. Unbelievable. Surreal.
@bigdbc ya the lyrics to this song...man..."strangers where there once was a friend" :we think we're getting older and wiser...when we're just getting old" Gilmour strikes me as a hardcore realist...beautiful song
@Metamorphosis33 Those lyrics are my favorite of the entire song. You and I are on the same wavelength. The song is indeed beautiful and what makes it even more special is that it closes out the About Face album. Perfect song to do it.
@PDSOTMF He's always had that smile that says to you that there's something behind it. To me what's behind it is pure unparralelled musical genius ; )
This such a sad sad song, and that guitar cries so sorrowfully ate the end...
