Notes
Live performance, 1987-1994 era (Momentary Lapse of Reason/PULSE tours). Gilmour's red Strat with EMG DG20 pickups was used for the solo. Amp is Hiwatt DR103, not the Gallien-Krueger/Fender blend of the studio version. Effects chain confirmed by multiple live rig sources.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced control of sustain, bends, and vibrato, as well as managing a complex effects chain and achieving expressive dynamics throughout the performance.
