[captainbimble]

[tebiten]

[nick6sic6]

Maybe one of the very few pieces of art conceived by a human mind

[jsaviking]

This is wery intersting, where this is form??????????? Please???????

[44fordman]

@jsaviking Its the last track on the album The Division Bell, by Pink Floyd of course

[Dav3i]

So who's going to comment on the amazing lap guitar solo?

[Smashinz2002]

Pure art! Brilliant ! Beautiful! And yes appreciated by the few, as all the great classical artists.

[alecrogerhansen]

That old man shreds the guitar like no one else. amazing.

[neurosinergia]

AMAZING !!! true art

[That1GUYJJ]

After my friend ended his life, this was the song we tried to make sense of it all

[gazzacfc1]

Are we in the presence of the great one. I think so !!

[Aquileskull]

This is music

[Leucoplasts]

This makes me believe I'll wake up to a better world tomorrow.

[zeppelin915]

this is a great song and an awesome rendition. Check it out on the Pink Floyd PULSE version. It is quite intense.

[HBC423]

that slide guitar and classical after that brought a tear to my, fucking amazing

[MichaelTMurray]

Can't say they didn't warn us.

[agrg456]

amazing song.

to @sharerx please allow iphone playback :D?

[josealexsicairos]

GILMOUR ES PERFECCIONISTA EN MUSICA ALTERNATIVA, POLIFACETICO EN MANEJO DE INSTRUMENTOS, CREO QUE EN SU GENERO ES EL NUMERO UNO, Y PORSUPUESTO ORGULLO DE PERTENECER A PINK FLOYD, EL GRUPO DE MUSICA MAS IMPORTANTE EN LOS ULTIMOS 35 AÑOS.

[MetalBluesBand]

thumbs up if you think that it´s really amazing...metal blues band

[IPstixrawesume]

This has got to be the fifth time I've commented on this video, but I can't stay away from it. It's just too perfect. The acoustic at the end just rips the heart out.

[hsen00]

the guy from SAW movie?

[jc790]

@hsen00

David Gilmour. One of the most famous musicians in the world. So no. not the fucking guy from Saw.

[hsen00]

@jc790 dude take it easy he's not your father and i know well who's david gilmour and i'm a big fan of him and pink floyd it was a joke!

[homsisser]

SIMPLY .....THE BEST.....DAVID :)

[TEREZEPP]

Excellent!!

[JohnParis12]

4 people have parkinson !

[amitpatel181]

This is one of the best versions of high hopes i ve heard so far..can anyone give me the audio of this one..

[IPstixrawesume]

@amitpatel181 The only method that I could think of that's JUST audio is to play this while recording it at the same time in a program like GarageBand. I also think that if you buy the full version of DownloadHelper for Firefox, you could convert it as you download it.

Signed, someone who wants audio of this as well

[amitpatel181]

How can someone ever dislike this thing ????

Losers

[MichaelTMurray]

listen to the words of this song, simply amazing!

[motokev]

I love many PF songs, probably 99.9%. But , I really love this song

[Dav1dFromGeorgia]

part from 7:29 to 9:11 will take you to heaven for 1 min and 42 seconds

[teacherguapa]

Superb!

[zipiol]

what instrument is that?

[EyeHawk777]

@zipiol

It's a guitar!

[MacDrevi0us]

240p? Yer breakin my balls...

[molloy1978]

3 dislikes !!! I know its not alot but how the hell can you dislike this , this is music at its highest level . Perfection is reached here .....FACT !!!

[metallicabegfan]

I don't belive it , this guy is incridible , i've never heard music like pink's music, David Gilmour is the best for ever ,I wish he never dies !

[ShitJitsu]

floyd takes your mind and soul to other dimensions that other so called musicians can only dream of......

[IPstixrawesume]

I swear, if this was the first time I heard High Hopes, and listened to this version, I would be weeping from the sheer beauty of this entire song.

Music needs to be like this: not something to just fill in silence, but something that stirs the deepest emotions of the human soul. This is the kind of music I want to make and be known for, and not for other music.

[borbaesilvabruno]

No one will be able to replacethis guys... Such gifted musicians... R.I.P. Richard!

[bo7mod2009]

the best music ever

it give me alot of memory when i was young listining to pink floyd with my father

[Ciu55]

Incredible !!



[gia60]

Beautiful song in all its forms. I prefer the version of Pulse, powerful, grandiose but so tender ..

[fagermannen01]

Nice and clear.

[darkstar66125]

@boomdizzleful i dont think hes saying that your wrong. what hes saying is that all new age stuff is to simple its just i have this or i did that, whereas this music makes you listen to it over and over to find the meaning behind the lyrics and lets face it new age music is pretty out in the open with there things and it doesnt speak to the inner you only the you that you want everyone else to see and thats not what musics all about.... this is what musics about, david gilmour really new hisshit

[thefadedline]

the bell sounds awful in this one. an octave too high

[geompat1]

Shine On!!!

[elinmagg]

Wow wow this version is much better than the studio version, I'm speechless!!

[VirtuousxOne]

Listen to the Live in Gdansk version. It'll blow your mind.

[elinmagg]

@VirtuousxOne I have listened to the Gdansk version, it's beautiful! it just seems that the live versions usually end up being better than the original. check out the acoustic version in the sidebar, amazing

[curicaveri1968]

This version is like the naked version, of course we are all used to see acomplished with all the ligth & image show but in these case it can be apreciate the naked song in its full dimension and Im sure we all agree its a true masterpiece!! Im sure this song will still be played when Internet will be considered obslote technolgy I mean "...for ever an ever"

[tommythunder99]

One of the best Pink Floyd songs, even without Roger Waters. One of Dave's best solo's ever.

[Goel503]

pleaaaaase, i want this DVD :(

[evga83]

Esta canção fez parte da minha infância!!

[ogitrev5002]

You just want that guitar solo to go on forever. Legend is not a big enough word!

[juegas]

Fuck everyone saying negative things about Roger. You people act like you knew him. Only David and Roger know what happened. So blow me.

[XxIronVanSabbathxX]

Pink Floyd couldnt have ended with a better song. One of the greatest songs ever written

[scsisbh]

We owe a lot to these men to liberate our souls!

[mcwolfus]

DG holds a pilots licence also. I would love to meet the guy. Hes very cool, calm, focused, and not pretencious like Waters. (who fucked up when he left Floyd).

[boomboxbadboy1]

i would pay money for the tab of that outro...there is one on ultimate guitar but not for for this

[mvdz1]

awesome



[withnail555]

So many musicians of Dave Gilmour's age have shot their voices to hell over the years, but his has just improved with age. One of the few truly great musicians in popular culture.

[TOR1R]

What sets Floyd apart from other musicians is that they are equally good at the technical aspects of music(like harmonics, multi channel sound, Dolby to name a few tech that they brought in first) as well as the 'artistry' aspect of it.

Their ability to blend the mood(lights/stage) with their unique music takes their creations to a place which have no equal or a way of comparing with other musicians.

I feel the ability of their music to transcend 'commonality' resisting comparison makes them grt

[elinmagg]

@TOR1R Well said! also they manage to make their music art and remain simplicity at the same time. Pink Floyd was just an extraordinary band, never will be anyone quite like them

[socalvh]

no flaws

[stereo20mike]

One word GOD

[LuneMortRaiser]

3 persons need stop listen shit like justin bieber or lady gaga

[albocippiviolagaia]

che dire di piu' di quello che ha gia' detto con questo bellissimo pezzo david........GRAZIE GILMOUR SEI UNICO!!!!!

[EgyMika]

What's wrong with the world??!!!

this legendary, epic track has only 51,000 views and 3 dislikes?!!!!

while "lady KAKA - bad romance" has 300,000,000 views!!!!!

[Smashinz2002]

@EgyMika I will tell you what is wrong with this world. . MOST people are freakin' Morons who think all that manufactured pop music Garbage is good stuff. . You need only two ingredients to sell a Pop song to the stupid masses: 1) A catchy and repetitive riff, and 2) a strong, but simplistic beat. . That's it. You do not need artistic creativity, intelligence, or anything else, to appeal to the IDIOTS. .

But don't despair, true art is still alive and well, and is FULLY appreciated by the few

[boomdizzleful]

@Smashinz2002 so you mean the minority is wrong and you are right? It may be easy to make but that doesn't make people morons for liking it.

[korsar11]

@Smashinz2002 I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!

[dadautube]

@Smashinz2002 great comment! IDIOTS as they be, commerce and industry will rob them off by selling them garbage of all kinds, from gadgets to fashion to art-looking 'art' to even ideas ...

[dadautube]

does it take a genius to realize the ingenuity in this? these guys are just so good ...

[eddiiiyyyyy]

@EgyMika lady kaka is a nonesense music "composer" (she gets her music composed by other music "composer")

[MelakhShadowz]

This song always gives me high hopes...

[MrDanDaMan707]

This song has the greatest solo ever. David Gilmour is a god at what he does and he makes some pretty kick as lyrics

[Floydian1384]

Gilmour became a God somewhere between 1971-1972...

[shok927]

@Floydian1384 he was a god even before that...he managed to keep the band together when Syd was kicked out and he replaced him...he was only supposed to emulate Syd's voice and guitar he did it even better...

[yasahiro86]

The outro at 7:29 is the best \m/

[bauhauk]

Este tema lo he escuchado desde que salio el division bell, y todas la veces me emociona, es increible, esta lleno de sentimiento el tema...

David eres un maestro!!!

[richardarthurnorton]

How come there is still a line of lyrics sung as he is walking to the slide guitar and he has no microphone? It is at 5:11. Any ideas? I Hate to think that he is using prerecorded audio to strengthen his voice. What does anyone else think?

[Dunthinkso]

@richardarthurnorton its the other dudes singing the last line..

[martilium]

@Dunthinkso yes, is Jon Carin.

[tahat]

@richardarthurnorton It is a common thing that singers record the repeated parts in a song during the performance using a pedal. I don't think he uses a prerecorded audio, just a tool to make the song better.

[skotidas21]

@richardarthurnorton

maybe the rythm guitar player or more possible the piano man... who also sings some verses in comfortably numb... I try not to make such filthy thoughts for Gilmour, like you did... ;p

[mallakka]

@richardarthurnorton GUY PRATT is singing "Forever and Ever" because he has to go to the slide guitar. in all the lives it has done in this way

[EMMETNEXO]

@richardarthurnorton I think that the guys singing back vocals have voices that have similar colour as Gilmours. That way they don't stad out to much when singing with Gilmour but at the same time sound alot like him when he stops singing and steps to the slide guitar. That's what I think any ways ...

[nickveekens]

To me this is the best "post waters" Floyd song and is right up there with C-numb, Time, Echoes , Shine on etc etc. A real diamond!

The slide solo is just perfection! I think fil892's reaction sums it u quite nicely. Even after having heard it a 1000 times it's just as fresh and beautiful as the first time I heard it. Goosebumps from head to toe!

[Amorim1928]

Amazing! It makes me feel like I am in peace with the whole World!!

Thanks Gilmour

[morbidouswrath]

tellement de frissons au dos que me fait ce solo ! trop beau, merci Mr David

[morbidouswrath]

tellement de frissons au dos que me fait ce solo ! trop beau, merci Mr David

[samyroxxz]

masterpiece.....best solo ever......

[gmilrod]

is not human

[SydTrippy]

David Gilmour and Steve Howe...two greatest guitarists of all time...

[cluedo1]

Look at his face and you can see how much passion he puts into music. That's what makes his guitar playing so brilliant. I'm always near tears when I see him playing.

[arindamghatak]

The guitar solo at the end is better than even the original. Very few can generate such melody as David Gilmour.

[hemobotep]

@arindamghatak david gilmour can express more with five notes than malmsteen, steve vai, or joe satrianni can express with 5 thousand.

[dezrax]

@hemobotep hey hey don't hate on satriani. he never did anything wrong =P

[mjh0055]

Thanks for uploading this - definately the best version I've heard. Cheers.

[leeday1973]

DAVID GILMOUR THE BACK BONE TO FLOYD - IKNG OF GUITAR

[mattcommnet]

This is unreal amazing

[MrStropparo]

I saw this version when it was 2 weeks old on aol. I have watched every week since. Best version ever. His changes to the song at 6:05 are great. Acoustic outro at 7:30 genius.

[xioux66]

beautiful,fantastic,god bless you david gilmour..........

[vanhalenkid]

God, absolutely amazing.

[eatmedrinkme2007]

Most epic solo ever written!

[Claviculaism]

o t'lumte dora

[Semaca1983]

Thank you God for giving us this band. I feel so spiritually rich after listening to any of their songs. And maybe you can give us Rick back and you can take Lady Gaga, Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus in return.

[enderro]

wow, fantastic version! Super sound and performace! Thanks for the upload

[rickettr2000]

What can you say about this man that hasn't already been said .... It's an honour to share the planet with him ....

[thacarofmiki]

:')

[stropparo]

4 years later and I still hear it like it is the first time.

[rohineesh]

Thanks to my 'guruji' Giri Sir for introducing Pink Floyd's music very soon in my life. From then on there was ever building love for Pink Floyd in my heart.

[Akusguany]

When music was music

[Sorin1987]

The most underestimated guitar solo of all time!!! This is amazing.....it should be in the top 20 of the Greatest Guitar Solos of all time.

[EpiLPstandard]

@Sorin1987 have you noticed that only a small percentage of these "all time greatest best of " charts are agreeable because most of the good stuff has been left out. It' s the same thing what is happening in music buisiness - the crap is visible but the good stuff has to be searched for carefully.

[foufaddiction]

it just blows off my mind...

i cant explain it

[inuczu]

Majestuosa, hermosa, tecnicamente PERFECTA!...

[stoneybaksum]

didn't expect to see god in my live, well the last 9'10 min's i saw him ;)

[oscarivan1021]

@stoneybaksum absolutely right!

[hogwarts09]

this is not music this is Art

[camwel]

beautiful

[joshmast1]

This has always been one of my favorite songs.

Thank you David.

R.I.P. Rick

[Charkie10]

The last lyrics really set you up for the emotional solo:

The end is real. Forever and ever

[noconfig]

Fantastici gli archi anche se sono sintetizzati! Fantastica versione, zio Gilmour..

[hemobotep]

the best guitar solo of all time. in my opinion. so fucking perfect

[koushymama]

@hemobotep could very well be ya.. the most soothing anyway

[yasahiro86]

Long live the... Pink Floyd xD

[w2ull]

The last 1:30 seconds where the song ends with acoustic guitar is nothing short of incredible...moving and absolutely magnificent in equal measure..genius!!

[Lemisenpoika]

Intense

[magugreech]

GILMORE I DO LOVE YOU

[redifreddy14]

How would you like to be the roadie ... that had to lug that dam bell around all these years....

must weigh a couple of hundred pounds...hehe

[Deltron7]

One of the most epic songs ever made!

[Yamboozle]

Greatest guitar solo to ever be played...

[thegoldenwalrus]

can a band go out with perhaps their greatest song? Pink Floyd just might of!

[devoid555]

this song is a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IlVanza]

This is what I call MUSIC!

[magugreech]

i totally agree with you

[BeaupsMetal]

Gilmour at his Best!!

[chosentonessournotes]

I'm so jealous of this song. I have no idea how they have the full sound that they do. This acoustic version still sounds as though the orchestra is playing behind them. Amazing.

[Obelisk2290]

IMHO this may be greatest PF song

[CrazyDiamond1968]

It's a great song, but "Dogs" is the greatest PF song...IMO.

[gexx03]

High Hopes is one of the greatest songs of Pink Floyd!

But it's also their last song forever. It is sad to realize that...

[Obelisk2290]

BUT FITTING I WOULD SAY

[eddiiiyyyyy]

@gexx03 more likely to be david gilmours/rich wright/nick mason, though the release name was pink floyd

[wispa1a]

@gexx03 Shame Roger took so long to mature up...

Atleast now he knows what he missed..

Not knocking Roger.

[cricketforever]

what

a

band

[Oalaffa]

This man is great!

[ALilyLazer]

Beautiful, makes me cry every single time I listen to it...

Does anyone have the tabs of the last part, after the lap steel solo, when Gilmour plays the classic guitar again?

I can't find it on internet, nor videos... Pleaseee! :(

[fetallica1]

make ur own tab and submit it

[boomboxbadboy1]

@ALilyLazer ive looked for them exact tabs...........never found them ;(

[butnut11]

There will never another band that ever compares to Pink Floyd. Every song gives me chills. But this is my fav by far.

[robloxer24]

what instrument is the solo on. any1 who knows just reply to me. plz

this song is so epic

[Sorin1987]

that is a lap steel guitar. Is an electric guitar specially designed to played like that....with a slider, for keeping the sound continuous and for a longer time. Also you can produce higher notes.

[rammers2006]

so so sad to see rick with his best buddy enjoying the life and the music..... i personally reckon davids music will always be short of something in the future and i surely hope he concurs. RIP rick.... and the likes of utube will keep you forever with us..... I can only echo ---- EPIC! - good post!

[flydfan]

Someone smart once said "David Gilmour is like wine, it gets better with age!" He was always unbelievably talented to begin with, but this is remarkable!

[fil892]

seriously...I probably listened this solo at least 1000 times and it still gives me the chills every time that I hear it ! it's indescribable ! pure genius.

[sharerx]

Don´t blame you I`ve done the same thing.

[DonMop]

@sharerx

me too

[Smashinz2002]

@sharerx Masterpiece ! One of many actually. . We are witnessing the most incredible musical genius of our times. . Enjoy.

[idiot866]

@fil892 Same here, the solo is just amazingly powerful. It's so amazing how Pink Floyd just delivers so much perfection live, there's no other band in my opinion that is in their league when it comes to live music and just music in general

[dogmess100]

Me too, it's amongst the best of all time.

[TRUEMAN8919]

@fil892 exactly the same.... incredible song..greetings

[barbaartjie]

@fil892 tell me about it...

[Adamphysco]

He just is getting better and better

[cerebroatmosferico]

Completely true. That's a quality you seldom see nowadays. Thanks Dave! R.I.P. Rick...

[patentstillpending]

FUCKIN EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
