  • the original sounds so much more sinister

  • my guitar teacher showed me this yesterday, first time seeing it, and his voice is phenomenal.

  • I wonder if Leo Fender ever imagined that one of his instruments would do something thaaaaat fantastic. Mr. gilmore, congratulations. I will never lose my sense of wonder at every thing you have written.

  • fuck...

  • my eyes gets full of tears every time i hear richard singing this song's chorus

  • superb

  • "And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you where to run. You missed the starting gun." Are some of the greatest lyrics ever written. Period.

  • just because richard wright is dead dosnt mean pink floyd is dead........i went to see the who and there are only two of them remaining and it was senfuckingsational

  • Welcome to real music.

  • And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, and you didn't go to a Floyd concert...

  • -Δ=

  • RIP Rick <3

  • 3 people need more "Time" to develop their musical taste.

  • All you have to hear is the clocks and you know what's coming.

  • kanta ni coritha to " oras na " english version lang!!!

  • thumbs up if you knew his cross stitched strap belonged to jimi hendrix .....a 60th birthday present from his wife polly

  • I'm 51 and listened to Pink Floyd and Gilmour all my life. There are some great bands now so I'm not stuck in the past, but David and Floyd seem to make timeless music that worked in the sixtiesand seventies and still works now.

  • @plusbabs ....so VERY true....just turned 49 and saw them in feb of 1980 on the WALL TOUR, and to this day its STILL the most awesome concert ive ever seen, and ive seen everybody.

  • how the fuck can he still sing like that. this is beyond awesomeness

  • those 3 that dont like thought they typed in roger waters  my god when he goes into his solo i get goose bumps sob

  • those 3 that dont like thought they typed in roger waters

  • All the good Pink Floyd stuff was Dave Gilmour anyway. No need for a reunion.

  • @389293912 I agreed with you until I saw Waters live this past November. I gained a whole new respect for him that I never had before. The Wall is one of the most brilliant concept albums ever composed, and it was almost entirely conceived and written by Waters. Gilmour heavily influenced two of the songs, but for the most part he was largely absent. I am very much in the pro-Gilmour camp when asked to choose, but Waters is a goddamn marvel when he has musicians capable of producing his vision

  • @mbeckwith146 Roger is a fucking brilliant egocentric bastard. But he's still a genius

  • @FelagundBRFO dave is at least as egocentric as roger

  • ogni commento è superfluo, immensi

  • Thank you David, if I'm listening - I realize that there are still things in the world which I can identify with. Thank you!

  • Her Majesty should definitely make Gilmour a KBE, as she could still do with Graham Nash.....

  • Thank you sir David Gilmour. For saving my life.

  • David is both a force and genius of nature. He will leave a monster imprint in music's history.

  • this song will never sound the same again played live as ricks vocals well 

  • thumbs up for some more concerts like these....!!!

  • Shame on the 3 people who hate this song!

  • @riffaddict Yes, they can go fuck themselfs.

  • David's voice must be like a rubber band or something -- it just bounces right back from the stresses of harsher vocals like this -- seemingly none the worse for wear.

  • Long life ...............David.

  • simply the best guitarist i have ever heard puts alot of heart in his music

  • David Gilmour and Roger Waters are both undoubtedly very talented artists. Gilmour however to me embodies the unique sound of Pink Floyd, whereas Roger does not. Although a talented songwriter, Waters is not a unique bassplayer. I can't blame him for that, it's extremely hard to differentiate yourself playing a bass. Gilmour's guitar sound isn't matched by anyone out there however.

  • Hello, I'm 15 years old and my life dream is to go to a concert. When i See Gilmour doing his wonderful solos, The way of conduct the concert, his way of expressing himself in letters and instruments is fascinating! Unfortunately today when we share our experiences with younger people and says about pink floyd with they seems to have no importance, today's youth is becoming more common, the essence is gone, the feeling faded. The good old man died

  • @jeanelfo im one 16 year old who stuch with the older real music, not the midless bullshit played today :]

  • @max3994 bro how do you think i feel ive been listining to this band since i was 7 years old with my father, now im 22 how do you think i feel about todays music.....

  • @THEPINKFLOYDLIFE its sux dosent it brotha...damn emos

  • @Fretlessjay Yes sir its more depressing

  • @THEPINKFLOYDLIFE I blame Nirvana personally lol , i have a personal belife that Kurt Cobain King of Emos. I know many would and will argue this, but can people honestly tell me that a song about Rapeing ones self being a hit was not a red flag to the crap that the music industry would allow mainstreamed on to the radio waves in years to come? God Bless Pink Floyd, your music saved me in high school.

  • @Fretlessjay i blame alot of groups but i also know its better like that because there will be no other band EVER this great unique and special only one of its kind!

  • @max3994 you too huh?

  • @jeanelfo I hoped to express myself like you did... Now I just have to copy and paste, except that I'm 16 not 15! ;) You are right :P

  • Oh, and, does anybody know what brand and model are Gilmour's pickups in his strat?

  • @OMGitsnano For anything Gilmour gear/settings, gilmourish*com is a great resource.

  • Damn, Dave is a fucken genious. Nothing's better than his solos full of bends and stuff, oh and his voice, pretty amazing how he hadn't changed it much in more than 20 years, when dudes awfully change their voice in 10 years, Hetfield for example.

  • Gilmour  = Maestro

  • I just had an eargasm

  • I look up to David Gilmour.

    Seriously.

    Not only is he an outstanding musician and arranger, he has become for me the perfect definition of a seemingly long lost style of English gentleman . . . well spoken, excellent sense of presence, praise for his peers, an amazing sense of modesty, and an undying devotion to friends (i.e. Syd, who he always made sure he received his royalty cheques and still honours his music to this day, along with Richard Wright's).

    If only Waters treated him better...

  • I thought the album version was the best until I heard this! Only Gilmour can out perform himself live! That is the mark of a truly great musician.

  • Take away gilmour's voice and amazing guitar work and you have just a band. Its aparent with this concert that its the guitar work that fills the hall and moves people. Personally Waters is an asshole with an ego that ultimantly broke up the band. When Write and Gilmour took to the road Write said he was never happier and the music was never better. Write and Gilmour were Pink Floyd. I realise watters had an intergral part with the band in the early years but Gilmour shines on stage

  • Yep this is a great dvd!!!

  • Richard Wright is absolutely spot on !!

  • Gilmour is just a phenoninal guiotarist and musician. He's the genius behind Floyd. Sorry, Waters' fans, but Gilmour was the genious.

  • @garyguitar01 I'm a Gilmour fan, and he is the man who gives the group his sound, but without Waters, Pink Floyd wouldn't be the same... his texts and his troubles created the meaning of a wonderful music.

  • @garyguitar01 @garyguitar01 I'm a Gilmour fan, and he is the man who gives the group his sound, but without Waters, Pink Floyd wouldn't be the same... his texts and his troubles created the meaning of a wonderful music.

  • ohh fuck!!

    waht solo on guitar is perfectly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111oneone

  • ...Gilmour doesn't need Floyd to be great...he is...

  • it keeps gettin better...

  • I'm sure I've heard this song over a thousand times, and still, every time, it. is. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!

    -

    There is no better than this. This song. This group. I'm blessed to be alive in these times. :-)))

  • @wellisaythat I could not in anyway have said it better!

  • I know why Pink Floyd split! Their music is so good that Roger and David had to split so they can make more tours for more ppl to listen! :D ahah joking Pink Floyd for ever in the heart of the real music fans.

  • I'm really going to miss Rick Wright. He's a big part of the reason the Floyd's music fit together so well. He always seems to be overlooked, but if you listen to their music, his influence is everywhere. A quiet genius.

  • so much tallent!!!!!! the brain workin working and wotking!! if you shut it up when i hear it, i wont talk to you for yearssss!!!

  • best guitar solo ever. Enough said

  • @naufragosrock not only the best solo but the best guitarist, he has done more with less than anyone else!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rivedere il grande ed immenso Richard Wright in questo video mi ha emozionato!

  • So good

    Thanks from Brazil

  • if you are alive or have been,or were, and have lived and heard what some humans on earth such as these guys have created , what more can you ask for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    modern day prophets in an ancient and tired land!

  • Gilmour was at his best at Pulse, but he still kicks ass now however!

  • God's very own hands. Just amazing!

  • Are you fucking kidding me these "classic rock bands (especially Pink Floyd) still kick the shit out of any music currently out there, wow and how old is david gilmore like 60 or so, still the best.

  • Amen to that

  • oh my god, Richard's solo

  • Brilliant concert

  • How can he sing so well at 60? Damn, this is excellent!

  • Because he is david gilmour thats how

  • the song i´d like to hear from above on my funeral..

  • GENIOUS.......

    simply GENIOUS!!!!!!!!!

  • Echoes is the shit on this dvd...must see!

  • I love the RAH version of Echoes. I get goosebumps every time.

  • no band ever can touch this ,bar none!!! and david thank you for the trip. rip richard you will be missed!!!! stay the course and never stop filling this cruel world with the greatest music ever written!!!

  • Well said, gumbydude1968. And David, if you ever read these comments, please carry on !!

  • dave is the main man

  • Oh my God, thanx to this bliss

  • This man is the main reason I study Guitar. I just can´t thank him enough.

  • excellent.

    the best..................

  • Every year he`s older and every year he`s got more soul...! Thanks David for everything!!

  • Comment removed

  • I still can't believe how good he sounds after all these years...And that soulful guitar playing,,,OMG just great !! Love it !

  • You shouldn't just have David Gilmour's name on the title, since Richard Wright is performing as well.

  • but Rick is just member of Gilmour's band here, so it's David Gilmour with his band not David and Rick

  • I never knew the clock 'dum dum' sound was from the bass. I first noticed it in Pulse

  • outstanding. one of the best solos ever and its fantastic to see rick playing with him and singing. greatest guitar player ever. shame rick is not with us anymore. i hope david continues to play without rick. and maybe even a floyd reunion could happen.

  • Gilmour will continue to play and record new stuff, but any faint hope of a Pink Floyd reunion died with Rick Wright, unfortunately. David Gilmour has repeatedly said over the past few years that he's not interested, and now that Rick's gone, there is zero chance.

    As long as David Gilmour keeps going, I'm personally quite happy with that.

  • I have the dvd i've seen it many many times,just buy it!!!You will enjoy every second !!

  • how much does this DVD cost?

  • I got the Blu-Ray for around $25 so I assume the regular DVD would be around $15-19

  • Stevie D is a good drummer..he was CS&N too. This entire band that David had on this tour was good...One of the best Echoes performances since the Pompeii days.

  • The cure for that problem is to listen to Gilmour's guitar playing.... I didn't even notice the drums... LOL ... and I AM critical S.O.B.

    True Story!

  • cut the guy some slack. im sure he couls kick ur ass at drumming so i wouldn't smack talk

  • he play with gilmour ,what about you?

  • eric...who???

  • ROCK ON DAVID ROCK ON

  • That strap he's using belonged to Jimi Hendrix once!

    David Gilmour is God.

  • he cant be ! i am! just joking!

  • haha lol!! xD

  • Funny... i remember seeing all this back then.... couldn't have been more than 13.... sounds just as awesome now

    D.G. is great

  • Eric Clapton was on Tv last night and I was thinking, David G is as good as Eric, two different styles, but Eric is very calm and David seems nervous in front of the audience. He always did appear that way I think that makes a huge difference.

  • He's better than Clapton!

  • Well David's been my fav for many years now, so even though Eric is great, I myself prefer David's playing. He just seems to be a bit shy, but he brings more emotion. But that's just MHO.

  • Yeah, I heard he had bad heartburn during this gig but was relieved after the show by some Tum Tum antacids.

  • Gilmour is fantastic, but Clapton is God...

  • I guess it's a matter of taste and what sounds good to you. I always connected more with David's playing.

  • sounds like my life in the 70s .kicking around ona piece of ground in your home town,waiting forsomeone orsomething toshow youthe way. right on the pulse of englands lost and downtroddenyouth! oppressed beyond belief!

  • Gilmour is a living legend! One of the best guitarr players of all time, and not to mention his singing voice..

    RIP Richard Wright

  • Yes, Yes, great art is usually beyond one's ability to describe, when one knows what it is, but greater is the heart that glows with purity and talent....

  • Time is incredibly gracious to Gilmour. To that end, in light of all the good Gilmour has done for humanity, I offer the last words of the last poem written by Gilmour's fellow chap, W.H. Auden :

    "What they call History is nothing to vaunt of, being made, as it is, by the criminal in us: goodness is timeless." Amen.

  • Gilmour still has that fantastic voice which is rare for singers with that age.

  • You all can hate my comment but is true, read the books and watch the clips. this song was, as most of the Dark side, Roger Waters idea. the whole show was called eclipse before they recorded the album.

  • you are right

  • You are correct that the idea behind Dark Side was Waters', but ideas can only go so far, and without David's music (for he and Wright wrote most of the actual music, Waters' did lyrics), it really wouldn't have been nearly as much as it was. (Think Final Cut; it was primarily a Waters' solo album, and it wasn't exactly a mega-hit)

  • I agree with you chichip...in fact most people seem to believe that dave was the focal point of PF...not so, it was roger and not just lyrics either...roger owned the animals, dark side.., and of course the Wall and much more..dave was just a great executioner!

  • yeah but this video is bout david not roger boy

  • fuck off wartzy

  • pretty much indeed... but Aigan has an interesting point. So does dallaskass. But, as you said, The dark Side was Water's idea, but that idea could never become reality in the perfectly way today is if there hadn't been a whole team of friends, professionals and musicians behind it... And, as everyone helps, in the end, your idea wasn't that much yours, and that, my friend, is how a band should be.

  • It's too bad Waters got obsessed with control after The Wall...

  • The man's voice is AGELESS

  • Poetic use of lights... a classic song. What more can one ask for?

  • I've never seen Rick so perfect since live in Pompeii... beautiful!

  • Well, on nearly all recorded output -- on their albums sold in stores worldwide ... it was DAVID playing bass, not Roger!

    So I guess that makes them even, then? Hmph!

  • Played bass on The Wall too. DSOTM was a joint musical effort and IMO the best. My God, listen to David and Richard in their 60's and sounding that good !!!!

  • Best song ever

  • Es un grande gilmour

  • Its Richard Wrights vocals that make this song so great. He is the best member of the band. he is Pink. RIP

  • New to Pink Floyd are ya?

  • Richard Wright is an amazing and essential part of Pink Floyd, but David Gilmour is Pink Floyd

  • I'm gay for Gilmour just as much as the next fan...though, Roger deserves a lot of credit...not to mention Syd as he was essentially the muse of much of their inspiration...though, they were all Pink Floyd...

  • mason is pink floyd! x)

  • by the way which one is pink?

  • admiro a pink floyd por que empezaron sin saber musica ni equipo y trscendieron son my fuente de inspiracion par5a seguir adelante en mi musica y quedar marcado en la historia

  • the transition/keychange to breathe is fucking magic lol

  • Nick should ve been here ! XD

  • wow 2:55 is a definate "hair on back of the neck" moment!!!

  • is the dvd named -remember that night-

    or not?

    someone of you guys can write down the right title?

    thanx

  • Remember that night - David Gilmour - Live at the Royal Albert Hall. It's a really great piece of music, and i dare to say that in this concert Gilmour is better than in PULSE, which is quite amazing.

    Ciao!

  • use Google to find it out.. I have the DVD but can't find it anywhere!!!

  • look for it online, its easier to find

  • Omg his voice is in topform!

  • Just to followup on myself - check out Shine On You Crazy Diamond where his vocals are nice and warmed up. Like fine wine...

  • se les tonaba la los años , con escuchar la voz tan cambiada de gilmour y rick. pero aun asi siguen siendo los mejores, ...rick R.I.P

  • gilmour voice was a little bit used at this point, I prefer much more coming back to life, seems like he sang many songs before this one, but still love it, he song from his heart not from his diafragma, and thats mouch more better, hes voice reach our heart

  • This is like the 3rd song on the DVD, so not used (perhaps not warmed up yet if anything). I think his voice sounds better than it did on the original recording - very confident, knows when to hit the right inflections. He's aged like wine vocally. So I totally disagree...

  • If David's voice seems "a bit used" as you said: (A) This is one of David's grittier vocal pieces, like Young Lust and Money, and (B) David was 60 years old here -- so yes, the voice ages too.

  • that solo kicks ass

  • does anyone know where nick mason is ? and i love this version

  • This was David Gilmours solo tour. Nick Mason was not part of the touring band.

  • I would like to find out where nick is

  • He plays a couple of songs one of the three nights at the RAH.. 05-31-06 i think

  • Such an epic performance. Some parts are almost too much for me to watch.... heavy stuff.

  • Wow!! I thought he would never beat the PULSE version. well he did

  • pink floyd is amazing...rip rick..shine on

  • aah what a wonderful performance! shine on richard wright! :-))

  • this is ACE
