"High Hopes" solo - David Gilmour, Royal Albert Hall

[petertyson1996]

Heard people imitate loads of bands from this era, & pull it off. But when ever anyone tries to do the same with Mr Gilmour it never quite has the same feel...

[grunchuss]

Lap steel guitar <3

[throw183]

i can die now.

[WertzuHun]

Ok it could really good in live, and to be there was an unique experience, but we have an advantage, and it is the replay button, which they didn't have. I cannot listen to any other song after this.

[CorazonValientee]

5 people are motherfuckers.

[GuitarSam88]

Heaven must sound like High Hopes sounds.

[chamtillionaire]

I HAD CARDIAC ARREST AND WAS PADDLED BACK 3 TIMES IN 2008......THIS SONG WAS PART OF MY HEALING .....WHEN EVER ANXIETY OR PANIC ATTACKS SET IN ....THE ACOUSTIC LEAD PART OF THIS..... KEPT THE PEACE.......THANKS DAVID GILMOUR

[ThePearlguns]

this is high hopes

[tomg18222]

actually cried first time i heard it

[DrLight9]

Could you play something a bit more "toppy"?

[stenner01]

I was the guy that crying at the end. In the house cause I missed the chance to see it live! ;-(

[theSicilianToe]

This is not a guitar its called a pedalboard.

[Hausch13]

@theSicilianToe lap steel guitar boy... that's not a pedalboard.. a pedalboard is a device used to attach effects pedals to it

[zelatur]

i wish i had dad like him! and now question comes in my head. someday propably i will have some kids, and he could say the same thing..

[Detonador7G]

If David was my grandpa my life was complete !

[TheBohemianhippy]

His son's a tool , but dave's a genius

[omererkul1]

the best song of mankind

[NicoEmma1]

To me, David Gilmour is one of the greatest soloist ever.

[rrrajiv1234567890]

@NicoEmma1 He IS THE greatest soloist ever

[Jacksz96]

[shefow]

Gilmour, you are my inspiration!!!

[denning43]

Floyd is all about the blues

[tegid699]

@denning43 yeah its like a technicolour blues !

[mrlizard888]

5 people did not feel so...

[TilzMD]

[xXFloydianXx]

I love how he squeaks and "echoes" the note at 2:05.

[xeno24seven]

i was the girl going wet at the end

[stakleni00]

@xeno24seven Haha! Say no more! :D

[gia60]

No other song delights my soul like this. Practically perfect.

[ithejuggernaut]

[waiwairara]

[FISH062104]

what instrument is that?

[odysseynz]

He touches our soul deeply

[Redmar85]

I used to listen this at school... today, when i listen this, i feel the same things, the same emotions... pure magic...

[mydickisinsideyou]

the best moment in music if you ask me

[alantopham]

He is a god, because he doesn't say "look how good I am!!" he says " here's a few notes I've strung together" and the result is humble genius.....

[amitpatel181]

this the best high hopes solo by gilmour...Sheer perfection...i ve listened to it a million times and stil cant get enough...

[Huolx]

This IS one of the best solos of pink floyd (if not the best), and this IS one underrated song.

[leomessi63]

@2:26 amazing!! I cannot describe how wonderful this is :D:D:D:

[yakvarDaBOSS]

I haven't seen something this pure since I watched his live performance of comfortably numb....

[RockVoltz]

This video is 4:20 long. :D

[Metalgasparos]

David Gilmour is one of the best guitar players

[xPORTERLOOx]

@Metalgasparos He is the best!

[nngnit]

This man is God.

[QurktheOne]

Simply Amazing .. isn 't it?

[manishankarbishwash]

[Araujo1970]

O melhor dos melhores simplesmente !!

[atzumi1982]

[joaodeferro1]

They say angels play sweet music in heaven. Certainly David came from there.

[CUIVIDEO2010]

[xPORTERLOOx]

What is there to dislike about this? It's an extraordinary piece of music by an extraordinary man. Mr Gilmour, I love you!

[Definition49]

I think Justin Bieber has 5 youtube accounts!!!!

[Kando0615]

I'm already sad that one day David will be gone from this world :(

[Brownismyname]

i was the guy yelling "YEAHHHHHHHHH" at the end

[gia60]

@Brownismyname Well done, my friend!

[spinerau]

@Brownismyname finest yeahhhh! and also looks like youre enjoying so much, the same with me in this moment, amazing last part with this Gilmour feeling, when suddenly went crazy and invented that solo. nonono, is like a God telling me, did you see that I vreated for you my son? and for all my children, and I just only say, yes Father

[RickInRock84]

Dio in cielo non deve solo spiegarmi come sia stato in grado di creare un Dono simile, ma anche come stracazzo possa aver creato,contemporaneamente, pure cinque totali invertebrati senza spina dorsale incapaci di comprendere tutto questo. Come si può vedere un video simile ed avere il coraggio di premere "non mi piace" ?! E'....non esiste definizione per dire cosa sia ! Shock in my mind ! 0_o

[codiceasci]

Every time I get the shivers. Thank God for having created the Pink Floyd

CodiceAscii Rome - Italy

[codiceasci]

Ogni volta mi vengono i brividi. Grazie Dio per aver creato i Pink Floyd

[alkohaulica7]

Listen to how good that lap steel sounds. Must have a lot to do with the EMG pickup on there.

Or maybe it's just Gilmour.

[mato33331]

tell me..why dislike?

[TheTrpo]

god manuser lfe a dukkho dyechen,,bt sei dukkho k katabar jnno aei gantao dyechen......hats off to sir david gilmour

[tsapetro1]

It seems like God is playing guitar. My heart will break. Greetings and keep the rock high hope.

[SeatBeltFTW]

I can't think about any reason for five people to dislike this video, I mean this ABSOLUTE masterpiece of perfection, emotion, happiness, sorrow, joy and love.

While listening to this I dropped a few tears to be honest.

David Gilmour is a legend and god and his music will live for ever!!

[Kando0615]

When you listen to David's music all your problems suddenly diminish....that's priceless

[graphicexpert]

Gilmour has the most quiet crowd i have ever seen !

Just listen, it's GOD playing guitar !!!

[grahamlong]

It's just amazing music!

Completely timeless and beyond generations.

[leondhk1]

[Guitarbque]

@ Slagtanden....I believe he's tuned to open E or open D. Perfect tuning for Rock/Blues stuff on the Lap Steel. :)

[Slagtanden]

@Guitarbque thanks :)

[Slagtanden]

I always have admired Gilmour's ability to play the slide guitar.. but, i'd like to know the tuning on that instrument.. if someone knows, please tell me :(

[mrfranky17]

Ok then..... Now I'll put my guitar down, go get a tissue to clean up my ears that just had and orgasm....

[Norfeusz1989]

No words ;(

[Bassguy0103]

Love that soft endings, like on Echoes

[droogxs]

an african american singing high hopes :

" The weed was greener ma.. the gold was brighter.. the pussy was sweeter baby.. the glitter of diamond.. with asses surrounded.. the dawn missss... (what ?? i ain't understand dat ! this matha fucka Ping Frued ain't no speak no english ma ! ).. the liquor flowin'.. the endless nigga ma.. foreva and eva ma.. "

[phillyh27]

i was sitting 3 rows from the front to the right, could see the sweat on his head, it was unbelievable watching him play this solo, especially at 2:26

[abcxyz46]

inhumane...first time i heard this it was at 1.30am and till 5.20am when my power gone...inhumane...

[arjun0821]

Pink Floyd is eternal.

Thumbs up if you feel so.

[ramezadel]

that part is my mobile ring tone 

[megatroll]

I find this man's works highly remarkable.

After all these deep trips, after all the times I thought to believe I lost my mind, after all I've learned about the eternal flow of energies through the universe... this man's music manages to bring out tears in my eyes with these timeless masterpieces of his.

What a genius.

[predatorinstincts]

@jimboclick wonderfully stated man!

[Goatboy44spl]

The man knows how to solo tastefully...

[SebaJB82]

Gilmour it's a miracle

[murilonightmare]

can't explain why, but everytime i heard this song, it give me chills and something like nostalgia, the right word would be Saudade

[Maravalmusic]

Amazing Guilmour!

Does anybody knows who has been the first to use this type of guitar? Thanks!

[henrywilcocks83]

@Maravalmusic There is a medieval instrument (That I cant remember the name of) that is very similar to this. I think they have been around in some form for a long time.

[27mamo]

Oooohhhh David! You might not believe in God but he definitely believes in you!

[prsfrank]

Gilmore is the genius of space , its not always what he plays but what he doesnt play. Pure genius.

[Euderos91]

David Godmour

[iRetroK1D]

whoever disliked this doesn't know music.

[chyren78]

David Gilmour un genio della musica!!

[Ferhat490]

l want to die with this song.

[Eljaiek]

3 people have no soul !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[babbBEAtles]

è senza dubbio l'assolo più bello ke esistaaa!! io amo quest'uomo!!!

[gcxgcx]

i cursed when i realized that this vid is only 4 min long

[saby8765]

[Guitardreams182]

I feel like crying, damn.

[Ooze27]

@Guitardreams182 me too man, this solo gives me goosebumps

[Vladotubular]

Incredible feeling :-)

[cristianrockstar]

I could watch this video, for hours, days, weeks, decades, centuries...and I will stay with goosebumps....

[hana0211]

how can someone fucking dislike this. correction, 3 people..this is like the best solo in history man

[TheTastyBread]

wooow! :D

[LuneMortRaiser]

El mejor solo de la historia perras

[IXECSTACYXI]

3 people were so excited they clicked dislike

[Andz88]

Gilmour was and is the best of Pink Floyd!!! his music is amazing, and is full of emotions!

[Daveeecze]

@Andz88

Best of Pink Floyd is Waters... Look at the pink floyd history, like The wall yes waters wrote it just three songs wrote Gilmour, Dark Side of The Moon mostly wrote by Waters.

[jinchengfredde]

@Daveeecze ...but if you look at "the division bell" album (who Roger Waters had nothing to do with) was the only P.F album to top both the Brittish and american album score ?!

[GuitarzLover]

@Daveeecze Stop saying this kind of shit. Waters is nothing without Gilmour and Gilmour is nothing without Waters.

[tomyrosicky]

@Daveeecze

Dark Side Of The Moon is not mostly written by Waters.

[Shitballs78]

don't know if this is good to listen to when the love of your life breaks up with you for the second time haha. Anyway unreal performance and i love it.

[geompat1]

Love the way Gilmour can make the guitar sing!

[hooman2560]

i love how the guy shouts at 4:10 before the crowd stars cheering. It's obvious that he had been bursting with pressure of how deep the music penetrates.

[stojanovich]

this solo is BURSTING with emotions..amazing

[musicmanbasses]

monster or alien...

[amitpatel181]

best of all times...

[amitpatel181]

no words can describe this music...its out of this world...

[stjeanalexalex123]

BEST!

[zekri984]

LEGEND...

[iLLUSiiONS111]

Learned half way on the acoustic solo. Words cant describe what a joy it is to play. Even if I haven't done the other half. David Gilmour is my idol.

[HaistaPaska92]

@iLLUSiiONS111 I know what you mean man, I've learned the beginning and the end, 2 of the best parts

[buttunghol3]

@iLLUSiiONS111 agreed 100000000%

[pochoderoma]

@iLLUSiiONS111 Did You learn it from the tabs? Where did you get them? ;)

[iLLUSiiONS111]

@pochoderoma I learned them off tabs. The website is ultimate-guitar(dot)com. When you are on the site just click the search bar and type in High Hopes Live Acoustic Solo. Hope this helped.

[pochoderoma]

@iLLUSiiONS111 Thank You so much ;)

[LittleCzechman]

What is he playing on? Is it any kind of guitar? I'm asking serious :)

[sheva1993]

@LittleCzechman Lap Steel Guitar

[macdicas]

If you think this great, listen to the version in "Live in Gdansk". It will blow you away.

[MrAbuler]

I almost cried, no joke. beautiful.

[pipops86]

[pipops86]

[poparadu56]

[sagocean321]

I just close my eyes and listen to this. Ahh the good memories.

[shuflak]

David Gilmour is a L-E-G-E-N-D

[iLLUSiiONS111]

I Can Die A Happy Man Now Listing to This. David Gilmour You Are A Legend

[olaf7410]

Just when the lapsteel solo ends and you think it can't be more divine, he starts the acoustic guitar part and just continues, this man is a mastermind.
