  • I know of no guitarists as passionate as David Gilmour, such an inspiration.

  • Once again, a Pink Floyd masterpiece leaves me speechless.

  • MASTERPIECE -----TY_ David-Fantastiks sounds!!

  • I cant understand how someone say "he doesnt like this" COME ON!!"!!!

  • There is a reason why David had to team up with his old buddies Richard, Nick and Jon Carin even for his solo album projects. The magic of the Pink Floyd sound is there because of the ingredients which make up Pink Floyd....even when Dave does solo albums. The sound in this performance is no where close to the REAL sound we are all used to listening...even on the Dave's solo projects. This tells so much about that emotion a musician brings to a composition...& not just the technical ability.

  • in wich year was this concert?

  • at the end of every Pink Floyd Piece of music comes a very unwelcoming silence

  • One of the best compositions

  • HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYDUU­UUUUUFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUCK I'M HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH

  • @misaaxskt awesome! so i'm i!

  • at 5:26 onwards.....close your eyes drift away.....i was flying through the clouds!!

  • i cant describe this guy in enuff words...but heres 1 .......GENIUS! This is incredibly beautiful music...we are blessed

  • @lewnik69 i wonder what those other musicians feel like,getting to play with such a legend.not a bad gig at all.

  • raped the play button

  • @shocky698 ahahaha Nice!!

    SDMF!!

  • the 2 dislikers actually have really low hopes!

  • the description is incorrect. it should say God in concert.

  • Simplesmente perfeito... just perfect

  • You do not hear lyrics like these anymore, it is a sad shame.

  • RIP richard wright

  • Im in love of CEllo's GIrl <3 :)

  • non c'è niente da dire

  • also, bitch is hot

  • I'd like to see the drummer's check-list before he went into work that day. Coffee machine turned off? Check! Drum set packed? Check! Front door locked? Check...........Oh Yea, tack hammer from tool box for bell? Check! LMOA

  • stunning. this one and marroned should be expose in a museum!

    true pieces of art.

  • im 23. have spent half of my life listening to music and discographies.

    i have heard every one from avril lavigne to markita and debbie more,

    justine beiber to johny cash, johana bro.s to scorpions, almost everything all the bands and artists. But this is the best live performance i ever ever saw. respect and love for david gilmour and his team. i dont hate the new age techno music, i just love the old school artists too much to be able to have time for criticizing the new pop and hip hop..

  • is this the pianist who made S&M with metallica ??????

  • @11crespo Yes, I think it`s Michael Kamen. He leaded the Orchestra in 1979 at the Recording of The Wall Album and in 1994 at the Division Bell Album too.

  • @11crespo : yes the san francisco symphony orchestra for s&m was conducted by michael kamen...

    

  • Flawless,, ive no more to say

  • ORGASMIC ! @ 05:26

  • the silence between the notes is the dimension of bliss. & you can hear it if you know how...Pink Floyd in all its glory triggered people into...remembering... no matter how they played it, you felt it to yer very marrow, then, and still can...every note & all the silences therein, are golden, forever cosmic & Earth-bound, simultaneously....

  • Why is the bass player a gangsta?

  • great music

    has just as much slence

    as it does

    sound,

    This,

    is great music!

  • you forgot queen turockandar

  • That dude sure knows how to cowbell

  • If this solo went on for 3 days,I would lose me job,because I would sit here for 3 days and soak in every note...

  • just listen to the silence of the audience

    willing to catch every tune

    amazing

  • cello player is so fucking dope

  • 2 people has very low hopes.

  • 2 people are assholes

  • I wish Michael Kamen could come back to us...Such talent...

  • 2 people are deaf or just don't like G's 5 o'clock shadow...

  • has anyone ever heard live Pink Floyd music where either Waters or Gilmour messed up the lyrics?? It's had to have happened...but nothing I've heard so far, from bootlegs, to anything on here, has ever shown me that they are human...lol....to be able to remember every single lyric to every piece of music....amazing.

  • @snapshot102871 how can gods forgot what they had created?

  • Life is not too shabby for David Gilmour...a whole ensemble of musicians and singers behind him and the adoring crowd in front (not to mention the beautiful cellist and the looks she gives him)....but it is all richly deserved....he has brought so much inspiration, originality,joy and beauty to our lives! My first album was Piper at the gates of Dawn and 40 years later I still stand in awe of Pink Floyd! The British Isles have given birth to so many great bands; Genesis, Zep, the Beatles, Yes..

  • @turockandar You really seem to be a guy with a fine sense of good things!

  • sorry, but after the first chords, the pianist sucks ass, poor david

  • @santiagodebellavista The pianist is the great Michael Kamen, he doesnt suck he is a genius.

  • Comment removed

  • @fLpzZy lmao, he did was a genius, i was too depressed with the people I love the most calling me crazy for no reason at all, just like me talking all stupidly lol

  • @fLpzZy Also I would give a huge credit to the double base player... a work of genius.

  • @fLpzZy Not only that, but Gilmour's On an island disc is dedicated to him. That's how good he was.

  • @fLpzZy oh yes mr. kamen transformed some metallica's songs into great and epic classical pieces, he is a maestro!

  • @pablito16able S&M, their best live performance in my opinion :D

  • I have listened to this version at least a few times a month since I bought the DVD, and be damned if it doesnt still give me chills and bring a tear to my eye sometimes. When the chello kicks in it is almost spirtual to me. Such an amazing combination of sounds its like heaven to the senses. :)

  • Thumbs up to those that 1) think the cello girl is hot and 2) those that think the drummer is Dagwood Bumstead

  • really love the choir, cello and oboe!!!

  • Pink Floyd will never work together again

    David is missing Richard Wright.

    This his tribute to Richard

    Magnificent!

  • Comment removed

  • @0ri0ninh3ll ???

  • @mcwolfus Don't threaten me with a triplet of question marks.

  • I have High Hopes with Revelation 21 and 22, from Bible. Always when I hear this music I remember that message. Yes, 2 people don't have High Hopes.

  • Classic Gilmour, of course he wrote this.

  • I just love the acoustic solo on this. Its a shame that his first wife died in such a way.

  • @1965guitarboy what way?

  • @NStanceski what way what?

  • @NStanceski What way did she die? I am not !00% sure. But dead she is. Dave Gilmours About Face album, from 1984 is brilliant. He plays with The London Philharmonic, and there is an acoustic guitar solo which is heavenly.

  • @1965guitarboy When did Polly die? She just published her new book in November.

  • @cdickenson64 Polly Samsons is alive and well, though i dont know her. She has, as you say a new book. Mr Gilmore had another wife, Ginger in the 70s. She had a boyfriend at the time, but Dave got to her,... well if I was a Girl.....!

  • @1965guitarboy I hear ya there!

  • @1965guitarboy David Gilmour has written some great songs, but I get annoyed when i see him rip of other peoples songs. He is a friend of and past artistic callaborator of Pete Townshends, I bet him and pete dont speak now because of this blatant Plagarism.

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of Gilmours best covers.

  • This is a great song one of Gilmours best covers.

  • @mrduffy1100 How is it you cover your own song??

  • @cdickenson64 Did I say that?, sorry no. I thought Pink Floyd wrote it. At least I think they did. lovely track.

  • @mrduffy1100 Yes in fact they did. David Gilmour and Polly Samson(David's wife) wrote it together. And as you know David Gilmour is the lead guitarist of Pink Floyd. And yes I agree it is a wonder track, as is most of Pink Floyd's music.

  • @cdickenson64 Thanks for that reply, someone leaving comments ( MCWOLFUS), says that the song was written by Styx,(never heard of them), Air Supply, and /or, Chris De Burg!!, I was getting confused. Chis de Burg wasn't in Pink Floyd was he? And.... 1965GUITARBOY comment says the song is about Mr Gilmours wife who died. Died??

  • @mrduffy1100 Styx was a band that hit the big time in the mid to late seventies.... Definitely not in the same league a Pink Floyd. Air Supply and Chris DeBurgh are just artist this McWolfus pull out his rear.... Mr DeBurgh was not in the Floyd. The song was about Davids life and some of the things he had to go through... written with Polly not about Polly who is still very much alive. Keep listening....

  • Comment removed

  • I got it completely wrong, sorry, this was on an early Air supply album.

  • I wonder if the the track is for Chris de burgs rareties, and outakes, b sides kind of stuff. That is odd, I thought the track was from 'spanish train' or something. Well thanks for looking, its him alright, and its this song-different but this song.

  • I've already kicked your mother's ass and she didn't cry. She liked it ....

  • @fredluiscabral Too right

  • 2 people have no high hopes

  • That song makes me cry ...... just awesome

  • @fredluiscabral . I will kick youre arse so hard, that will make you cry alright!

  • can someone tell me the name of this concert and if I can purchase it?

  • A nice song, however chris de burgh version is still better. please don't vote this off, it isnt fair.

  • @mcwolfus Chris De Burgh... :D I'm so sorry... :)

  • @KingCrimsonThunder , you leave Mr De burg out of this, he gets a bad press, but Chris he outclasses Dave Gilmour, and thats a fact.

  • @mcwolfus Chris de burgh???

  • @rockaires Yep, as I said chris de burg did the original version, which in my opinion is better. Dave does a good version but, chris' better.

  • @mcwolfus Where do you get a version from Chris DeBurgh? I have searched and found nothing that even resembles "High Hopes" unless you are mixing it up with "High on Emotion" and they are are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT songs and cannot be compared.

  • @cdickenson64 Chris de burg did the original, I believe on one of his earlier albums. This is still good though.

  • @mcwolfus WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! David Gilmore wrote the song and it was released on "The Division Bell" in 1994. He wrote the song with his wife Polly Samson... Twenty years after the 1974 "Release" of the Chris DeBurgh version... which I STILL find NOTHING on.

  • @cdickenson64 There you have it then, 1974 twenty years before Dave and Polly get their hands on it, and do a not such a bit cover, it does grow on you. But I have the same song by the great Mr de Burg, His version, Is obviously piano based. On of his first albums, and bonus track, keep looking for it. Got the right spelling?

  • @mcwolfus Looked at his first five albums... Not even one song that comes close in name... Google "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd and it will say it was written by David Gilmour and Polly Samson... I even checked it on my album... says the same thing.

  • @cdickenson64 Sorry, I got this completely wrong, it was an early Air Supply album that this song appeared on.

  • @mcwolfus Which album? Which year? Any time before 1994? Before the composer of this song released it?? HMMM?? I see nothing on all of Air Supply's albums that indicate a cover of David Gilmour's High Hopes.

  • @cdickenson64 Well before 1994, early 80s, I have another version, by Air Supply, I am pretty sure now- (the other thought i had was Styx), And you say that Gilmour/Samson wrote it! Well this is tagged on the end of an AS album, which one though?

  • @cdickenson64 Well before 1994, early 80s, I have another version, by Air Supply, I am pretty sure now- (the other thought i had was Styx), And you say that Gilmour/Samson wrote it! Well this is tagged on the end of an AS album, which one though? I may know how to solve this mystery.

  • @mcwolfus When you have the proof... Load it to YouTube so we can all be educated.

  • @cdickenson64 How do I load a cassette onto U Tube then? I admit Styx maybe a bit of a guess, if it isnt Air Supply I have here doing the same song.

  • @mcwolfus Just admit you are wrong... CAUSE IT AIN'T THE SAME SONG!!

  • @cdickenson64 No, Iam not wrong, I can prove now that Rex Goh of Air supply wrote this.

  • @mcwolfus where's the proof then? put up or shut up!!

  • @mcwolfus What is the album name? What is name of the song? If you are right, which you're NOT, the name of the song MUST be different,cause there are no songs on the ENTIRE Air Supply list with the same name.

  • @cdickenson64 This song, lyrics and all are on Rex Gohs solo album.

  • @mcwolfus He has no solo album that I can find. Finally admit that you are wrong.

  • @cdickenson64 Nope, I am not wrong, this song was done by a memeber of Air Supply, give a moment I will positively identify it, or post the actual song downloaded from my tape. I do understand youre scepicism.

  • @mcwolfus YES YOU ARE WRONG!!!! Do yourself a favor and Google "High Hopes" Pink Floyd and see who wrote the song.... It will say that David Gilmour and Polly Samson wrote the song for "The Division Bell" released in 1994.

  • @cdickenson64 Googling it proves nothing. I will post my own counter evidence, give me a chance...

  • @mcwolfus Ok then find somebody who owns a copy of The Division Bell or buy a copy yourself.... Or maybe just look at it in the store... It will give the writers of the song on the album credits... Or are they lying and YOU are the only one on the ENTIRE world that knows the real truth???

  • @cdickenson64 What I am saying is that Mr Gilmour has ripped off an old song, and I shall prove it. I dont care what is written down as a song writing credit on an album cover, thats not it.

  • @mcwolfus Enough! You keep talking like you have this proof, but you never do. I'm done I will argue with you no more you are a waste of my time.

  • @mcwolfus I emailed Rex Goh... He said the same thing I have all along.... David Gilmour wrote this song. 

  • @cdickenson64 You are joking?!? you Emailed Rex?. That's just not fair, can you prove this? Unbelievable.......!?.

  • @mcwolfus I can forward the email to you if you wish. I will include the one I sent to him.

  • @cdickenson64 Please send proof to my Email: davidgilmourdidnotwritehighhop­es@hotmail.co.uk 

  • @mcwolfus now you will have my email so you can send your version of proof the he did not write the song.

  • @mcwolfus Ok, I got the Email,give me a few days to reply, something came up.

  • @mcwolfus I checked my Division Bell album cover, and youre right! The Gilmours did write High Hopes. If had only reached over onto my CDs shelf a month ago, all the Comments and the Emails to rendom songwriters (who was it)? could have been avoided. Youre manhood is now restored, and I can only apologise for my lazyness,-(and before you say it, Iam a sad bastard etc), but I must now busy

    myself by attempting to prove that the Pope and Britney Spears are the same person .LOVL

  • @mcwolfus Now the Britney Spears ? Pope thing... I will not argue with you on that cause you are more than likely right. And I won't fault you for overlooking the album cover. It is fun to sometimes go back and forth on stuff like that. Have a good life and maybe we will butt heads again sometime. Smile ON! :-)

  • @cdickenson64 Thanks, I just couldn'd resist winding you up, I dont have this album, and Christ de Burg writing High Hopes? well!. the funniest bit was my Email address,-you must agree. Anyway, Gilmours solo stuff is brilliant in many places, and so is the Townshend solo efforts, though largely overlooked. The Stevie Nicks early stuff is good also, Buckinghams stuff I can take or leave. Laters

  • @cdickenson64 I'am waiting...................

  • @mcwolfus Dave gilmours solo Albums are worth looking at, some real jems on them, Pete Townshend co-writes, and plays with Gilmour. Also there are some absolute gems on Petes solo work.

  • @mcwolfus You're an idiot. STFU or get out.

  • @weegrant007 what did Mcwolf do to be an idiot?

  • @weegrant007 What did he do?

  • @1965guitarboy I didn't do anything, just trying to prove that Dave Gilmour and Polly perhaps did not write High Hopes after all. I will send you the proof, but i have decided not to post it here.

  • @weegrant007 What did 'Mcwolf'do?

  • @weegrant007 Get out of where? Where am i 'in' to get out of?

  • @cdickenson64 There you have it then, 1974 twenty years before Dave and Polly get their hands on it, and do a not such a bit cover, it does grow on you. But I have the same song by the great Mr de Burg, His version, Is obviously piano based. On of his first albums, and bonus track, keep looking for it. Got the right spelling?

  • @mcwolfus I need proof of your claims. I can look at my CD of The Division Bell and at the song High Hopes and know that David Gilmour wrote it with Polly Samson. I have looked at every album by the bands you CLAIM originated the song and find nothing in ANY of their albums that even come close to this song. Now you are saying something by Styx is the same???? Off which album??? Come on, I need proof!!

  • @cdickenson64 No checked again, and I have Chris de burg doing this, or something very similar in 1974. The song is on a tape of a album but i dont have the name of the album. The song you merntion does sound familiar.

  • Pls tell me the name of this concert.. I want to buy the DVD.. Pls PM me..

  • maestrazooooo.thanks for this jewel......

  • in 2002 i didn't even know such great music exists ... i'm 19 ;-)

  • A beautiful guitar of Roger Waters. irra

    'The grass is greener' i.

  • David Gilmour es un maestro y sus canciones son obras de artes

  • This shows how awesome he really is, he was able to summon Beethoven to jam with him, who else can do that?

  • NOSSO, COMO EU CHORO QUANDO ESCUTO ISTO...

  • Masterfully plucking away at the heartstrings of untold millions.....long live king David

  • This is beautiful with the stand up bass and cello! great acoustic version.. you can never go wrong with some piano and cello thrown into a song that is already a masterpiece.

  • amazing. pay attention to Caroline Dale. The Cello.

  • melhor som do planeta , perfect !

  • micheal kaman.. the guy on the piano ... passed not to long ago... he wrote and worked alot with brian adams... and many others...

  • The AOL Sessions version of this classic Floyd song offer much better acoustics but this particular session in Dolby 7.1 from the original CD is incredible.

  • touching but an original is an original

  • This version, with the cello and the oboe and the acoustics, is much to maudlin for me. Give me the original any day.

  • Favoloso David

  • Does anyone know what classical guitar David Gilmour uses on this song?

  • lo mejor de lo mejor exelente gilmour

  • Fantastic

  • scream its called a steel guitar.
