David Gilmour "The Blue" - Live In Gdansk

[L1ndja]

3 more morons have been detected =).. One of the best performances of all time

[relayer179600]

It looks like a poem on the guitar...

[soundspur]

Pure Genius is David's Guitar.. for moments it brings tears..

Rick Wright was present at the time.. now he's gone. so sad.

He was a crucial part of the Band.. although they were not playing as Pink Floyd here..

A superb upload. thanks..

[grimreaper12791]

[potejtos5g]

Great David,we love you Dave.

[Juggalo5588]

This is one of the most incredible songs I have ever heard. and the funny thing is the Most incredible song I have ever heard was also a pink floyd song, Coming Back To Life!

[MrCooltiiikkkk]

Hello i know its not good question for this time :D But anyway :) Witch AMP, or Processor , effect, call it how u want, but witch is this one that David use. I mean, his guitar tone goes up and down really fast on the same frett, how he does it? It sounds very low and he does something and it sound higher, a way higher... its not only guitar... im sure :) Thanks for help anyway, and now im gonna chill out and relax again with his songs :) Peace :)

[lmorgan1974]

@MrCooltiiikkkk Digitech Wammy Pedal

[BigExtc]

this song is so beautiful, it really gives the sensation of being out on open water

[bushbasher85]

I know you won't read this David, but on behalf of all of us, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all the great music that you have given us through the years.

[MrCyssiek]

I fucking love my own country in moments like this. GDANSK, famous city Gdansk, and one of the best performances ever. Hellyeah!

[guitarwarrior69]

As mesmerizing as his voice is, his solos speak and sing in a way no human could ever. 

[celsizinho]

O Grande Azul é o lugar perfeito para viver com alegria e diversão em meu coração ....brincando como se fossemos dois inocentes animais marinhos...nadando e mergulhando nas profundesas...um com o outro em páz e perfeita harmônia nas profundezas do grande Azul ......Essa é minha viagem prefeita ao som do mágico David Gilmour..em compania do mágo dos teclados Richard(in memoriun)..essa para mim uma das canções mais lindas que já ouvi Impossível não pensar em voce minha doce e infinita voida AZUL.

[Kando0615]

How does he achieve the "sliding" effect of the solos? Is he using some sort of pedal? I always thought he played it on the pedal steel

[PinkFloydGuitarist]

@Kando0615

He uses a Digitech Whammy Pedal. It is considered as an extreme version of the Tremolo on the guitar. If you think of it like a Wah pedal, as he presses the pedal down, instead of creating a wah effect, it raises the pitch of the Guitar. When it is totally "Heeled Down", It is a full octave (or two, depending on the setting) from the original note. In this case, he is using a one octave up.

Hope that helps.

[Kando0615]

@PinkFloydGuitarist Yes, thank you, I was suspecting something like that :)

[shefow]

@Kando0615

ele consegue fazer o efeito "parecido" com o som da lap stell porque usa um pedal oitavador...

He get to do this effect like pedal steel because he's use pedal octaver (Whammy, made by DigiTec)

[perkyporkpie]

Let's be honest this is just stunning-I mean really it's just one of those recordings

you can't ever forget

[craneywatch]

Legendary concert!!! I am happy to know that I have limited edition of LP records which represent this performance!

[tossedpenny]

Were I allowed to have any two guests over for dinner from any point in history, I would set a place for Jesus and David Gilmour and have this song on as our background dining music.

[KyleSurette13]

@tossedpenny Couldn't agree more with you on that one. Jesus and Gilmore, Jesus for his lifestyle, Gilmore for his music. Strong respect for both of them.

[alextititlin]

sabes me gustaria en este momento poder estar cerca de ti,daria cualquier cosa por estar bailando esta melodia perderme en cada nota de ella y encontrarme en tus ojos y mecernos en un azul atardecer en donde el tiempo no exista y solo podamos estar tu y yo se que es imposible por que tu no me amas tu amor pertenece a otro pero con el mio basta de aqui a la eternidad.siempre te amare peluchito.si alguien la conoce diganselo por favor

[bradleyrocks618]

@TheSKCProductions david pours his heart our in his guirar playing this song is so amazingg

RICHARD RIP - you will be forever missed david misses you i miss u everyone does take care in heaven u and god make some great songs for david to play and us to listen to when we all get there.. you are missed so much this is so beautiful

[cjroberge]

Awesome & Angelic, I JUST LOVE THIS IS SO SWEET AND I LOVE THAT GUITAR, swirling around energy, kinda does remind me of the good stuff of Pink Floyd, but this is amazing, like you can feel mother nature communicating through you and to all of humanity to embrace the energy presented through this melody! Just love it. Thanks 4 sharing.

[oaydn]

sensational

[nietjob]

if i was there, i would have walked out (after the concert) totally confused because of the awesome songs and the loud and echoing sound of everything, i guess.

i decided i have to buy this DVD..

[666767]

@TheSKCProductions very well put buddy

[Earrot]

His music transcends filth and makes me feel alive and it makes me live all of time instantly pondering and reflecting the vastness that is and how wonderful life is he makes my soul hurt and my life a little better . Thank You David .

[Nordsternfreunde]

i love it

and i love Peter

[Nordsternfreunde]

@Nordsternfreunde still i do, ever will

[666767]

SO HOW LONG YOU GUYS BEEN INTO THE FLOYD GILMOUR FOR WELL ME ITS BEEN A LIFES JOURNEY FROM 1988 TO THE PRESSENT ALLWAYS BEEN MY FAV BAND A CLOSE SECOND IS ZEPP THE FIRST TIME I HEARD FLOYD WAS GREAT GIG IN THE SKY AND MY FIRST ALBUM OF HEM WAS DARKSIDE ON THE 12,3 1988 AND AM 32

[mmarisco]

As time passes by Gilmour gets even better... The guy is marvelous!

[hunpolo]

puts tears in my 4 years old son ...

[mrbrsan]

@BILL1992MUNNY Don't even try . Bloddy homo!!!

[Fl0yDyan]

Most beautiful song of the album

[IsisTiamat]

David Gilmour's music is beautiful - always. And it does manage to rise here above the too saccharine, too... schmaltzy arrangements and lyrics. I wish all the "rest" would fall away and we could hear his cristalline sound the way it should be. Sometimes things need to be said - albeit with love, respect and admiration. Thank God for The Orb, is all I can say.  Let us hope we will never be put through "On an Island" again. Leave the crooning to Michael Buble.

[mod50]

@TheSKCProductions It's stupid to even compare guitarists of Gilbert's (or Gilmour's) level between each other. They're all doing their own thing. Apples and watermelons man,

[TheJuggalotommy]

love you david!!! and miss you rick........

[u2bMODERATOR]

@TheSKCProductions Forget about hendrix ! Gilmour is the guy that plays with the blood on the strings .

[deeb2011]

Don't know what to say but with this song, David took me to the same place/dimension where Sting took me once when he sang "When we dance" many years ago

[MrCoffeewater]

Thank you David for such a pearl of music you gave to us all!!!!!

[sigsauer226pable]

nos leva ao espaço, como toda sua obra.

[Mwtorres24]

I love you David Gilmour :)

[PsychoZappa]

Una obra de arte que lleva a la redención espiritual!

[5tonyvvvv]

@TheSKCProductions its sad gilmour and waters cant get along two stubborn assholes..but there my heroes !!

[DarkeningSkies1]

@5tonyvvvv Well, now it seems at least they are. Ain't gonna mean a Waters, Gilmour, Mason Floyd tour, but nice that they can at least talk and play together once in a while.

[PFTome]

@TheSKCProductions haha ... you read my mind. I never understood the Waters vs Gilmour argument, it's plain as day who carried Floyd. And he is so humble. He is my hero too.

[15roland15]

the song i really want to see Live at Gdansk is "Then I Close My Eyes."

[hpygolkyone]

Every guitarist if good in their own way. Gilmore doesn't need to run up and down the frets trying impress with blinding speed. He can get more out of only 5 notes... than most guitarists can get from 10 minutes of shredding. In my humble opinion.....that's what makes Gilmore.......Gilmore. Plus.......don't forget the rest of the band. It takes more than one spark plug to make a good engine run.

[iusepol]

@TheSKCProductions

gilmour is great but there's no point in compare him to paul wich comes from different musical roots and is one of the most versitile musicians today he played 3 differenet bands and had huge success in each , IMO. i'm not saying who's better here . i like them BOTH

[flaskeballe]

5:16 - 6:22 NO ONE else can do that on the guitar! NO ONE!!!!

Made me cry!

-Rip. Richard-

[cansurvivor4]

What more could david gilmore do? He is the master. this so sacred. I hope heaven sounds like this.

[ShogunRua19]

@cansurvivor4 man i don't necessarily believe in heaven however i do not discount the possibility of an afterlife, but nonetheless if there is a heaven do not worry it will sound exactly like this. I know this simply because anything less simply wouldnt be heaven.

[slimjimxD1]

most beautiful solo ive ever heard :') along with the numb solo he did in pulse... but this is just amazing, get butterflies every time i listen to it... what an artist!

[mike00757]

@slimjimxD1 how about the solo in High Hopes from live in Gadansk that will send a chill down your spine... (:

[slimjimxD1]

@mike00757 oh my god man i know exactly what your talking about!!!! its so awasome!!!! :)

[yawalaa]

damn genius! best guitarist to exist

[daqarell]

1:50

oh...

[crazyd1mond]

chillin with dave..

[jeffreyhsykes]

Breathless and gives me chills. My idea of music in heaven.

[EMGstrat1]

awesome i must cry

[danielibertine]

@TheSKCProductions +100 dude, you're beyond right.

[j0rdanb0yle]

@TheSKCProductions no doubt dude, spoke my mind

[dangaertner7]

does David use an octave pedal for the solo

[bluesrock1000]

Mesmerizing!

[madcapbelgrade]

the best

[cansurvivor4]

This is so sacred and pure. what can the master david gilmore do next? we should never desecrate this site with the words...rap.

[BUBB6697]

my two heros of pink floyd are def David Gilmour, and Rick Wright

[jeffreyhsykes]

@BUBB6697 mine too. beauty personified in music those two are.

[BUBB6697]

@TheSKCProductions i will defend that to the death buddy

[Cynporro]

This makes me feel good, I love Gilmours music, the only REAL music.

[kelvynyeang]

real soul happening tehre

[gowestward1]

It was great to see David Gilmour bring along Rick Wright on this tour. R.I.P.

Rick

[gowestward1]

All that was missing was Nick Mason!

[bonjourtag]

as many times as I watch this, the solo still gives me goosebumps....

[Obelisk2290]

@TheSKCProductions my heroes in this realm are Gilmour, Knopfler and May

[nameless989]

that guitar solo is the tone of god!! that is the meat n potatoes to pink floyd tonality!!David Gilmour rocks!

[5tonyvvvv]

@TheSKCProductions amazing sir gilmour is great..great song,great guitar sound..even better while smoking a nice joint

[shammadamma]

No one makes a guitar sing like David Gilmour. Breathtaking solo.

[YrendenQ]

A beautiful concert and a group number 1 in the world

and greetings from Polish

[minotipo16]

Travelling through the guitar solo,magical !!

[flaskeballe]

THAT'S how to play a guitar solo!

[thankGodforDavidG]

terrific display of talent, such great moments to hear this awesome music, such sad moments to realize Rick Wright is no longer with us !

[PinkFloydAreGods]

long live David Gilmour

[redifreddy14]

joins other guitarists on the list of under appreciated... such as Adrian Belew, Lindsey Buckingham... to name two of many more....that give their souls to the instrument.....

[drcocoloko]

Every note that cames out of Gilmour Guitar is the right one

[mcintomney1988]

many ppl say roger was the one who carried floyd to victory, others say gilmour, but i dont give a fuck they both put floyd on the map, and Richard had something to with it too.

[mcintomney1988]

DG 4EVER

[L1ndja]

yeah hope he lives forever :p

[httpluca]

@L1ndja nonono sorry i missed i want gave you up sorryyyyy :-(

[L1ndja]

??? what

[httpluca]

@L1ndja your comment "yeah hope he lives 4 ever" i've missed and i gave a downthumb...

[L1ndja]

ahahah ok dude no problem im happy that there are people who still like this kind of music which is art to my ears.

[httpluca]

@L1ndja :-) i'm happy too

[mcintomney1988]

and his music will certainly live on forever

[efvio]

he just make the perfect note in the just moment.

don't need make amazing and fast movements, cuz the music is sublime, just feel the solo and youlook how the word are not necesary to transmit a feeling.

David G you're the one!! amén

[minotipo16]

the most beautiful solo ever !

[indian31000]

Blown away....Beautiful.

[LedColin]

so beautiful....

[ziggylouful]

Absolutely love this. Wish I could have been there to see this.

[evanem66]

@TheSKCProductions

Without Roger, there was no Floyd. Without David, same thing. They perfectly complimented each other. Why pick sides? its assinine.

[TomOwenM]

Truly one of the best guitarist our world will ever see. Tone from God, crystal clear, clean sound from that Black Strat of his. It's a shame Waters had to be a jerk to the rest of the band.

[ivhlenko]

que bueno!

[ulli61]

Just beautiful!

[kimmer7159]

I thank my lucky stars every night when I look to the night sky that these guys existed during my lifetime...my life is richer because of them.

[sutty234]

stunning.thats all i can.

[DEZCFC86]

one of the few albums were live version blows the album version out of water, on an island was good but live versions of album are legendary, what i would have gived to see this concert!!!

[zdlore1985]

yeah i completely agree. The live versions have more of an edge and Gilmour's leading playing live is better than the studion solos on On an Island. Although the solo on Pocketful of Stones is pretty much note for note as the album which is fine with me because it's beautiful

[mcintomney1988]

oh i hear u bud, i would give my left nut to see david gilmour/roger waters/ pink floyd in concert, it is my dream but unfortunatly it will never happen.

[TheRoxZine]

Sighs, the nearest I'll ever get to seeing the mighty Floyd is at home (either Live in Gdansk or at the Royal Albert Hall on dvd) What a humble icon Dave Gilmour is. Is there any wonder why so many guitarists try to acquire his sound today? Truly ahead of the times.. his solo's are amazing!

[mateo51790]

@mcintomney1988 oh no doubt man... my left nut would be gone as soon as i got my hands on tickets like that...

[cliffbelstein]

@mcintomney1988 BBC News released an article last week about how they are considering possibly doing more charity gigs,

[Fl0yDyan]

@mcintomney1988 I would give all my balls! Ofc, I would keep some sperm freezing LOL

[mateo51790]

@mcintomney1988 I can't even describe how incredible this friggn song is and how talented of a guitarist David Gilmour is. DG can play this trippy mezmorizing music that is beyond what words can describe. he's in his own world when he plays and he plays on a level that just can't be touched. Gilmour is a god... that's all there is to it. I would do MANY things to see Pink Floyd with all the original members play in like 1972 or something but as u said it will unfortunately never happen :/

[mateo51790]

@mcintomney1988 u dont even know... I'd give a nut and a friggn arm 2 see the real Pink Floyd perform live, especially if it were back in like 1971 or so; unfortunately cuz im not old enough, it will always remain a dream... Pink Floyd is better than what words can describe. Gilmour has this way of just getting u into the music so much that ur momentarily out of reality, or similar to his 3rd solo album- A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. Pink Floyd is 2nd on my list all time behind Led Zeppelin.

[Seanus32]

@mcintomney1988 Maybe Barrett and Wright will come down for a one-off gig, temporarily abandoning their Great Gig in the Sky together :) Please, God, give them a leave of absence for us. We will all pay you back in gold when we finally reach you :)

[Firststrike790]

@mcintomney1988 I'd glady give both mine to see them, but that ship has sailed as sad as it is.

[obolan]

I feel really bad for the youth I see posting on here that never had the opportunity to see these guys live. It's like no other concert experience every produced. Period.

[MAC616]

fuck me running...

unbelievable song,and just as great live :0

[Kennylennon5]

i am holding myself as the song beats go i feel so comfortable i love it gets me going

i wish i was born earlier im only 14 and i wish i couldve heard this music way before

[serpico89]

the lady playing the violin is cute :) great song

[666767]

i was like you im 32 and when i was 11 i first heard floyd and i knew then that this music is somethin more i wish that i could have seen them back in the day but i saw the floyd in 94 and it was the best day ever .

[serpico89]

yeah i started listening to pink floyd in high school, i'm 20, so it was after they split up. i wish i could have seen then, especially roger waters. i know some people hate him since he was a control freak, which resulted in the band spliting up, but he's a genius. and i wish i knew about floyd and saw their tour in 94 :(

[todd5854]

Wow, this song really really brings out their signature tone. Which is mainly generated by Richard Wright. RIP.

But savor the moments he was alive, and all the advances he and them have made for music.

[vanhalenkid]

that tone.... omg....

[DemonioFloyd]

listen this guitar solo's song is know god

[Thehollandrocket]

BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely amazing.

I'm 22 and all my friends listen to hip hop or

"fall out boy"

It's sad to see where musics gone

[Rozq87]

word my friend!!!!

[flydfan]

I'm 15 and I share your problem as well!

[shogunnuts]

Its very sad indeed. But it will be this way till the end of this age.

Music touches people in different ways, and regardless of what the experts say, music influences the way people think.

[FLonefight]

Dave and the Digitech Whammy pedal...tear inducing...beautiful!

[666767]

yer right thare

[mamc72]

Excelente music de David Gilmour, me deixa extasiado com esse solo. ele é the best of music.

[ajhell22a]

WOW I can listen 50 times and still makes me want to cry.. Mr Gilmour you my friend are truely Heaven sent!

[thebishopoffunk]

I'm a bit of a guitar noob, what's he doing at 3:54 that makes the notes go that high?

[isuckatsweeppicking]

the tremolo bar, who is sometimes mistaken as whammy bar. an example is a floyd rose, check it out, it is cool

[destijl1337]

it's a vibrato. so you're also wrong. tremelo is a picking technique.

[vanhalenkid]

tremelo actually refers to a shaking in volume like repeatedly going from a hight low volume.

but yes it is a picking technique

[MCLOVIN50]

He's using a whammy pedal

[JD0x0]

its not a tremolo bar. hes using a whammy pedal and slowly "slides" an octave higher he also uses the guitars tremolo that creates a vibrato effect (tremolo is higher and lower volume. almost like the volume is "pulsing")

[varrick1226]

David and his band mates need to keep doing music like this...so goddam wonderful.

[666767]

r u on this planet thay wil never b and i mean never b music made like this again as daves best freind and band member died of cancer so no no no im still in moruin

[luizfelipels7]

3:20, i'd like to do that

[elaineelias1]

um dos mais lindos...

[amzuluv]

thanks for all gilmour, gracias siempre te llevare en mi corazon, mauricio gomez.

[ladislau4907]

que lindo!bela música,calmaria total...até o solo é dentro desse espírito elevado c notas cheias de bom gosto,que permeiam a obra do floyd.

[fledgehog]

oh shit...i still havent watched my gdansk DVD :(

gotta do that tomorrow

[Rozq87]

do it man, it's worth your time mate

[bladimir039]

hermoso simplemente hermoso

me hace volar sobre un cielo AZUL

[abhbrookie]

This was amazing... :'D

Rest in Peace, Richard Wright <3

[ForzaAlfaCorse]

c'est magique!!!

[BertM87]

Absolutely amazing.

R.I.P. Rick.
