The original Comfortably numb is perhaps one of the best songs ever composed. When you, Gilmour, Wright and Mason cooperated, it was an extraterrestrial force of humanity.
@@jimtrott3110 does that really matter? A lot of people post comments directly towards creators, doesn’t mean that they hope for it to be read. I’m sure they weren’t thinking anything of it.
It was the first time I had a chance to witness a concert by any of the members of my favorite band and I was absolutely blown away with this version of the greatest Pink Floyd song. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to see Waters live!!! It was the best live show I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you from a long time fan!!!
@@LorenzoGiordanoGomeshe started off with this version. I was in Manchester on Saturday and it was amazing show. When he does the Floyd it is so perfect to the album's
After surviving a severe case of Covid I had the opportunity to take my son to This is Not a Drill Live in Mexico City. I cried so much in this song and was so thankful to be alive and having the chance of seeing this show with my son and transmit my love for this Music. I believe he had the best rock experience of his life. Thank you Roger!
Thank you for sharing this my brother, reading about your experience with your son really hit me.... I just saw the live show 3 days ago and I was seated between the woman of my life and my best friend that survived a brain tumor surgery last year. I was crying on the inside and fucking hug them on the moment. I know that we are not sleepers from the people that we love and cherish in our lives. Peace from Portugal.
It fits like a glove for these days and our possible future. Maybe today makes more sense than 1979. This kind of composition is what we need as human beings. Not everything is dancing, not everything is party. Songs, and art, need to be the fuel for inner and outer transformation. Thanks for still being here, Roger, doing this. You are inspiration.
IDK... There is a brutal war in Ukraine, when murderous dictatorship has attacked viciously its smaller neighbor. At least that comes to my mind when I see dark and broken city views of this video. Flashing lights don't remind me lighting but explosions of russian missiles. I'm not sure how does it feel for Ukrainians to hear filthy rich Waters singing from US how he has become "comfortably numb". It is cold and dark in many homes of Ukraine right now, they are suffering and in fear for coming bombings I'm afraid art without meaning is an empty shell, worthless junk
Only those who witnessed this live would understand how powerful this version is: the lights, the visual effects, the sound effects, the enthusiasm of more than 20 thousands people around you... this is just beyond any word I can use to describe it!
I didn't think it was possible to not only reinvent this amazing classic, but to somehow convey a whole new meaning that speaks to this day and age where we stand on the brink. Of what, nobody knows. Absolutely brilliant Roger. Amazing.
I think we're past the brink. Now we're just "waiting for the worms", if you get what i mean by that (if not, read the lyrics of that song). And im not exited for it.
This is one of those songs you need to put on headphones, close your eyes and just listen. It hits different. The thunder, rain and somber music takes you to a dystopian future where you can feel the pain. Everytime the woman at the end starts to sing I get chills all over my body.
Fui a su recital del día sábado en Chile, y estoy profundamente emocionada, su música me transporta a otra dimensión, me hace llorar, reflexionar, pensar en dónde estoy. Agradezco a mi marido que me mostró la música de Pink Floyd y de ahí llegar a conocer un poquito más de Roger, David y el gran maestro como Syd Barret. ¡Paz para Todos!
yo fui al show en mi país y sin duda, roger me transmitió todo, lloré, grite, reflexioné. Es hermoso poder estar viva y pertenecer al mismo planeta con este gran ícono de la música, que siempre nos transmite transparencia en todo.
Hauntingly depressing visual with beautiful ethereal sound. Still trying to get my soul back into my body after this experience. 🤪 Gorgeous. Edit: Had to come back for more...Man, this one is not a 'remake'... it is a whole creature of its own birthed from the womb of its Mother.
@@70AD-user45 Yes. Notice everyone is looking down with their arm up, probably staring, out of habit at their lifeless phones (looks like no electricity or vehicles), or empty palms...zombies.
Just realised the connection to mobile phones. Zombification of man in a post apocalyptic world where looking down at your palm has been programmed into man. That's Roger Waters. Amazing poet, lyricist, artist, and song writer. Music has never before seen his like.
Well - seeing and hearing that version live on Roger’s current tour was just amazing. The visuals, the sound-effects in surround, the quality, dynamics and volume was just earth-shattering. Wauv.
I'm seeing him play in a couple of days and very much looking forward to hearing this version. It's stunning enough anyway, but I can imagine that seeing it live might even break me. It just seems to encapsulate a lot of what people were going through with lockdowns, as well as Roger's ability to keep his old songs relevant, even to the point of the arrangements and technical aspects of the production.
I have been a fan of PF for many of my 79 years and must admit I thought it impossible to re-create Comfortably Numb without those soaring guitar solos and yet the first time my wife and I stumbled over this recent version by Roger, we fell in love with it even more than our previous favourite which was Roger in Berlin with Van Morrison doing lead vocals. An absolute masterpiece Roger...well done....
Had the privilege of experiencing this live yesterday. The sound was tremendously powerful, 3D and the thunder were at realistic sound pressure. I was blown away
I kinda think that's Roger's point (along with erasing David's contribution, a side benefit for R). The intent is to be made uncomfortable and ill at ease. That difference between expectation and experience is what he's aiming at.
Well Roger, even if you wanted to make it darker, it's heavenly dark. I get chills every time I listen to it and indeed Shanay has a beautiful voice. Thanks for this remake.
I'm a stickler for a reworked classic. Rarely ever like them. Watching this live this summer was absolutely majestic. Thanks for an amazing experience. Flawless musicianship from everyone all night. It was an emotionally charged journey, accompanied by a haunting and hypnotic visual from start to finish.
Musically I prefer the original, but this take has a completely different purpose. Comparing the two is kinda perilous. The original was part of a story. It shared the feelings of a desperate man forced from isolation. Heart-wrenching and painful. This isn't a story, and I don't think it's even meant to be enjoyed. It's an alert, a call to action. It's meant to motivate change. Will it be as effective at that goal as the original was at its goal? I hope so.
@Renzor... I did not expect the concert (saw him here in KC) to start this way, but damn it got me ready for the rest of the show. I'm also elated this got published too.
Sadly, I think the people who most need to heed this warning are the people who are least likely to hear it. I think it's up to us to live our lives in a good way, whatever that means to each of us, and show others by example what it looks like when a life is well lived. Far more people will be affected that way. (It also comes across as less preachy.)
Sobbed through the whole of Roger’s Manchester concert. Couldn’t quite comprehend being in the presence of someone so musically influential. I fucking love Roger
I so much appreciate the love, time and affection you have dedicated to my career all this years and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you in person. Where are you watching from?
A different version, totally different but truly goosebumps especially if you listen to it with headphones. The female vocals are truly the TOP. A version that makes you think .... think .... fly. Personally, even if I was expecting a totally different version, .... like it
I agree with u with the female vocalist she sounds amazing and powerful on this track however she been overshadowed by the fact there is no guitar solo I try not compair with the original and take it as a diffrent take
You said it Roger...."Together we stand,divided we fall". Pink Floyd was always more than the sum of their individualities.Your endearing darkness is profoundly artistic and I respect your version of the song.
I like this version, but it is David’s solo that moves me to tears in your original collaboration. This version has its merits, but for me the versions where David Gilmour does extended solos are the absolute cream of the crop.
Biens sur,le solo de David est incroyable, mais justement Roger a réussi cette version en oubliant le solo de David volontairement, très intelligemment,car peut être qu'il sais,que personne pourrait faire aussi biens que Gilmour sur le solo,je trouve que cette version est biens réalisé,la vidéo aussi, ont retrouve les bruitages qui se rapproche de Pink Floyd, d'ailleurs c'est Roger qui en était le principal acteur des effets sonores avec Richard Wright, sur les précédant albums a part (the wall) richard n'a pas participé à l'album,brouille avec Waters,mais ont ne vas pas refaire l'histoire.. Roger a voulu faire cette version en s'éloignant de Pink Floyd,en laissant son ADN., très astucieux de sa part, c'est un grand compositeur, très rigoureux , peut être de trop, pour les autres membres du groupe.j'ecoute cette version comme si c'était une autre.. d'ailleurs je pense que le but de Waters était de l'éloigner de la version originale.bonne soirée ou plutôt bonne nuit.
The original Comfortably Numb is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song and I think this version is phenomenal! The dark depth and the plodding rhythm, the soul wrenching vocals at the end make it an entirely new experience. Thank you, Roger, for this reimagining!
I so much appreciate the love, time and affection you have dedicated to my career all this years and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you in person. Where are you watching from?
Holy shit. I don’t know why I didn’t listen to this earlier. That’s haunting. I’ll say it. This is tied for best recording of comfortably numb right with the version on Pulse. You and David both made this song into something legendary. Fighting or not. Be proud of that.
Forever and always a David Gilmour girl first (my dad was a guitarist).... but this is bloody amazing. Dark Side of the Moon has been the soundtrack of my entire life, I was born just 3 days before it was released and is still some of the very first music I remember (I have a white vinyl copy from the original run). I know this is from The Wall, but it was also in my father's hi-fi upon release.... and it taught me how to get through the trauma crisis that was my life both then and now. This version is so iconic for the reflection of the time in which we are in today. Thank you Roger, and thank you everyone who put it together.
I so much appreciate the love, time and affection you have dedicated to my career all this years and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you in person. Where are you watching from?
I do not argue about the greatness of the song, it is simply a masterpiece. But congratulations on the video making, really wonderful! You deeply touched my sensitivity
Such a great opener to "This Is Not A Drill..." Was fortunate enough to see it live during the first show in July. It makes me think of the society we live in today in how grim it can be at times. But we have those to help us and push through some dark times. Keep on inspiring people Roger!
a mi me voló la cabeza, siempre he pensado que comfortably numb es la mejor canción para cerrar un concierto, pero escucharla al inicio del This Is Not a Drill, en esta versión mas tranquila y ambientalizada fue una experiencia completamente surreal
Seeing this and experiencing it in concert as it opened Roger's show, sent chills through my body. It was such an amazing experience that I will always remember, thank you!
I would love to experience this at one of his "happenings". l feel the word "gig" or "concert" cannot even begin to describe what a person must feel during this awakening. Yes, you'll have that memory for the rest of your life & that is untouchable.
I'm speechles. I love the original and so my husband sent me the link. I sit here, captivated through the whole song. The tuning, the tempo, the voices, the visuals and the sound effects create an atmosphere, so hauntingly beautyful, I'm stunned 👏👏👏.
It's very gloomy, dark, depressing, apocalyptic, and very Roger Waters. Although even by Roger's standards it's very dark. It's even darker than THE WALL. It's a reflection on the times we're living in, or how at least Roger sees the dystopian world, which is not in the future because it's here already. It must be tough being Roger Waters.
My husband also sent me the link. Already loved the original, but this version is even more beautiful. The music, the visuals, voices, everything. As you described it best, "hauntingly beautiful" 😊🤘
Roger, you managed to remove from my favourite song what I reckon is the best guitar solo ever. Nevertheless, what you have now gifted us is another masterpiece. I am speechless and with goosebumps. Standing ovation. I really hope you'll tour New Zealand again soon. Please!
The original version has always led me to tears because of yours and David’s work, his solo just spoke volumes to me. This version, even though there’s no guitar solo, was set to amaze as well. I won’t lie and say that a guitar solo wasn’t missed, the original is still my number one and it would make so much sense here too, but Shanay Johnson’s vocals gave me shivers and really brought tear to my eyes. Before listening, I thought “Mr. Waters, take the wheel” and you really did, so glad Johnson came along.
I really think this version depicts very well the Comfortably Numb concept it was intended, it has these eerie background sounds that could easily be part of The Wall movie :)
i saw the show this summer. as soon as i heard the first lyrics my heart skipped a beat, i cried, had goosebumps, it was a magical moment. Comfortably numb always been my favorite song and i got it tattooed on my arm, withthis version i still love it, more and more, i am so glad that he made this studio version! thank you so much Roger
Nosotros vivimos esa misma sensación este fin de semana en el Estadio Monumental David Arellano, en Chile. tuve oportunidad de estar enfrente, a dos filas del escenario y fue una experiencia única
i am 24 years old ,i prefer your music than modern music . This is version Comfortably numb is Awesome thanks you , Grandpa Roger , greetings from Kazakhstan!
While I do think it's lacking something important without the guitars, this is still a fantastic arrangement. I especially appreciate the samples from Echoes.
OH MY DAYS Roger! I’m a Gilmore fanatic, but adore you all! How just how have you re-written this without the guitar solo??????? One of the most legendary riffs of all time! You bloody genius! It was ethereal, moving, and the word written and sang were just like the guitar ‘weeping for help’. I adore this version. Got goosebumps watching it ‘at the bar’ in the cinema. Thank you so very very much! What an experience. Wow how do you keep doing it?! We would all adore you town to speak, but too much water under the bridge now (pun lol)! Sad as the whole message of this concert was that! Back to this version, the only comparison I can make is Gary Moore still got the blues, or Prince purple rain without the guitar solo. It shouldn’t work, but it does. We’ve now got an epic brand new version. One is NOT better than the other. They’re incomparable…… it gave me the feeling of Echoes in Pompeii, and High Hope! God bless you 😘❤🌈🙏
The fact that he released this gives me hope he’ll also release The Powers That Be, that was my favorite of the changed songs in the concert, so to hear it again in good quality, possibly studio quality, would bring me much joy.
That was probably the highlight of the concert for me, as far as which song blew my mind...Never in a million years did I expect to hear The Powers That Be played live in 2022. However, the odds of Roger releasing a new version of The Powers That Be are probably 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000...
I absolutely love this version it feels like animals, echoes and all of Roger's emotions plugged into one track. I just wish it had a solo, but at the end of the day, it is still a masterpiece regardless.
@@jacobvanveit3437 yea I still love it for that reason for me this song paid homage to other albums and felt like when Johnny Cash did “hurt”. There was wisdom, experiences, emotions, and pain in that song. It felt like Animals tried to warn us, and this song was the aftermath…
What you did when you wrote this song was literally being light years away from everything that was done at that time. This theme is timeless. I listened to it when I was little, I listen to it when I am older (54 years old) and my grandchildren will listen to it. This version is beautiful, believe me... but nothing compares to the solo that David Gilmour did. During all these years, what I love the most is the ease that you have to transform. Congratulations and thank you for giving us so much quality material.Hopefully someone will continue your work that for years has opened the minds of millions of people. Long live you, Mr. Rogers!
Gilmour's solo is great and we can all hear it on the originals. It's wonderful Roger is still with us and busily creating and we have a new version for the current times.
I had the luck to see this is not a drill tour twice. In London and Prague. Both times this opener touched my soul so much and it’s just such a perfect version to open the concert with. So happy I experienced this live♥️
I've been to alot of concerts but this opening at MSG with the thunder was by far the best opening ever..my whole body froze with goosebumps Roll on Barcelona roger ❤️
I've just listened to this version for first time and it makes me feel like a world has just stopped forever. This movie and sounds are very impressive. Thank You Mr Roger ❤ for a trip and a moment of reflection. Peace 🤟
Had the great pleasure of seeing this live show back in October in Austin TX. I have seen nearly 50 live shows in my 40 years of being alive, and This Is Not a Drill was easily the most important, memorable and amazing live show I’ve ever seen.
Agreed. Not sure how many shows I've been to in my life but it's probably at least 50 and Roger's were by far the best. I liked the Us and Them tour slightly better but both were top notch.
I have listened and loved the original since 1979, this is another masterpiece by this amazing man who just can't fail. Absolutely fantastic with the video. Bravo.
Fui a tu recital. Llovia, escuche esta intro, escuche los clasicos, tus nuevas canciones, llore 2 veces y volvi a casa escuchando Wish you we here por por milésima vez. Gracias por tu arte, por hacer de cada disco una historia, por homenajear a Syd, por darle mucha musica a nuestros momentos mas lindos. Gracias por hacernos pensar!! Sos el uno Roger. You are Pink Floyd!
Experienced this live on the 15th of April, 2023- My mom is a massive Pink floyd fan, my dad a little less so but he really likes it to. I knew most of the classic stuff- But jesus christ I was not prepared for this openining to hit as hard as it did. Listening to this version now keeps giving me chills-
The Video Detail, theme and story behind it is Awesome! and fitting for the world today we live in as it all it takes is one Loud Crack like that Lightning and Thunder in Video, but its a bomb instead that falls, Like in Goodbye Blue Sky I Love You Stranger, we are all the same, flesh suits merely, but different souls that all know we are family and try to show us daily, but we don't all have soul Eyes or Ears to Hear Them calling and showing us signs Cya Brother Peace and Blessings
Roger! Thank you so much for this amazing remake of this Song! After so many years hearing pink floyd, this year it was my first concert! The Show was amazing! Thank you for these two hours of kindness with my mother! We loved it! And thanks for ALL of your Songs!! For sure I will hear them till to my end!
Roger, Ive seen you just about every Tour within the last 20 years. I loved THE WALL LIVE, but this re-arrangement of Comfortably Numb to open was amazing! I saw you at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. I found myself in immediate nostalgia wishing my father (who committed suicide) would be sitting beside me. This was one of his favorites. The dark arrangement and lady solo at the end put me in tears as i sat in my chair! Unbelievable show! Your music continues to be a large influence in my life. Thank you
This video was the open song of This is nit the drill show in DC 2022, first sounds of the song gave me chills and realized that I was about to witness the greatest show on earth. Thank you Roger for keep creating. What a talent
As an Autistic / ADHDer who has noted since a small child (age 3) aspects of society that are greatly lacking, this video is hauntingly sad and beautiful. The arts are a way to reconnect to our hearts and souls. We have an epidemic of isolation and loneliness and have lost touch with what matters. My hope for my grown children and all the children, is we get uncomfortable and start to change the path.
Saw the This Is Not A Drill show in Birmingham. Never have and never will see anything as good again live. Music from the heavens. Thank you Roger for placing those memories in my head.
As much as it would be nice to see them live together agan, i have to say that i don't think they could work together as artists again. They are way too different. They've always been different, but Roger has stayed consistent whereas David has changed way too drastically.
Leave it be. Be thankful for all they all have given us. Don't try to take sides on matters outside of our personal business. This version is really good, on a few different levels.
I agree. He took something we know and reimagined it and showed it to us again in a different way. I thought it was awesome in concert because its nice to have the artist confident enough to put some songs in different types of arrangements.
Absolutely beautiful version of this track! Always remember, too, everyone. Sometimes in the deepest darkness, can shine the brightest stars. Stay strong and stay safe.
I love this version, Roger. Beautifully dark with a great tempo. This deserves to play a key part in a A list movie. Excellent job & thank you very much for everything you have brought to the world. Long live the flying pig!
La canzone è il punto di svolta del "the Wall"la modificata bellissima interpretazione della ragazza al posto del assolo di chitarra che faceva Gilmour nulla da togliere però la chitarra era meglio
I was there! It was a pleasure and an honor watching this live in Mexico last month. The screams of excitement, the applause, the entire arena vibrating with emotion... it all really adds a lot to this epic song. It was worth the wait. That was the happiest day of our lives. RogerTour 2022.
Junto com 30 mil pessoas, assistimos " This is not a drill" em Porto Alegre, RS. Essa versão, que abre o show, é impactante ! Quem não se emociona ? Obrigado Roger Waters !
Vi ele sábado passado em Curitiba. Essa versão me surpreendeu, eu esperava menos, mas ao vivo ficou demais. Para mim ficou 8/10 e a original 10/10. Felizmente eu vi a versão original, a música de Java o setlist da turnê passada.
This proves why this is greatest song ever written. It is so poignant, beautiful, haunting no matter what version you hear. I love David's solo, but this version is so haunting, stark, moving, beautiful, it also works just brilliantly.
This is incredible! The magick is still there-and growing! The soloist you have in the video is super and the video itself is so moving and perfectly suited with the song and the times. I only wish I could see this video live. Thank you Mr Waters!🤘🎸🎵🎶
Thankyou this song has got me through the worst time in my life after my husband had a stroke leaving him brain damaged. Your music lyrics so advanced in time incredible I enjoy singing this song on Smule so much Thankyou for allowing giving us all the chance for this opportunity 🙏🙏❤️❤️🎸🎶😘🇬🇧
I simply won't compare it to the original. Two separate works with their own powerful merits. Well done and thank you for sharing the story in the description.
Holy sh*t!! There has been a while since the last time I've heard something so exquisite!! 🙏 Roger made it dark and sad. Almost painful. He removed guitar solos. He added a video and created a scene for the song. The voice singing/crying at the end. And the pig... Pink Floyd for ever and ever.
Excellent version ! It is as if it reaches all the people giving a message of unity in the midst of the turbulent times we live in. Thank you for all the music you give us dear Roger ❤️ We are waiting for you in November 2023 Greetings from Chile
I was not expecting a Slowcore version of Comfortably Numb in the vein of Low. The vocal solo at the closing really did help to break the tension. Stunning.
It looks like a post apocalyptic world that Roger has written about many times. What a video! Great remake of a dark song that has become depressing....and apocalyptic.
None of you alone could ever produce what you did together. I know it's a blow to the ego, but you caught fire in a bottle, and it only worked because of everyone's contributions. Thank you for being a part of, what in my humble opinion, was the greatest band of all time.
Yeah… major success due to collaboration. But you gotta admit his songwriting is great anyway. In and of itself, these are brilliant musical compositions.
@@peepeepoopoo8006 I can’t personally decide. I lean toward the original as better. But I really like this one too. Reminds me of Is There Anybody Out There?
@@peepeepoopoo8006 Modern sounds, modern mixing and still fails to be better than the original. Two of the best guitar solos ever written cut in favour of a anonym voice solo is enough to put it behind. If they would re-record the original note for note with this sound quality and definition it wouldn't even be close.
Shout out to your graphics guys/gals!!! That was a journey and Shanay definitely brought the song home. Thank you for sharing this Roger. In fact, thank you for all you have given us through the decades!! PS - your latest show in SF was INCREDIBLE and well worth enduring the pandemic delay!!
Such a terrifically apt rendition of the classic for our contemporary chaotic, dystopian times. Thank you RW for this stunning production. And the haunting video was perfectly complimented too.
Saw this tour a few times and every single time this experience blew my mind. I took my brother to one of these shows and I looked over at him and he had tears in his eyes, and then I started to well up.

+ plus Artificial Intelligence comes into force and it will not end well
Chem trails. Meat grinder. Im.homeless army intell fixable. We all got poisoned. After 911. New regime. Won't hear war
Apparently we have been like that for many decades. That song in 1978/9.
The original Comfortably numb is perhaps one of the best songs ever composed. When you, Gilmour, Wright and Mason cooperated, it was an extraterrestrial force of humanity.

@@jimtrott3110, there might be a chance…
@@jimtrott3110 does that really matter? A lot of people post comments directly towards creators, doesn’t mean that they hope for it to be read. I’m sure they weren’t thinking anything of it.

Hell ya

Großartig Herr Rodger Waters.
Genau DAS ist beschriebt es.❤ Situation Situation
It was the first time I had a chance to witness a concert by any of the members of my favorite band and I was absolutely blown away with this version of the greatest Pink Floyd song. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to see Waters live!!! It was the best live show I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you from a long time fan!!!
and the fact so few have liked this video is a testament to what Roger is trying to say in this video.
@@detectivehowardb7 what is he trying to say?
Hey, just out of curiosity, did he also perform the regular version of the song, maybe at the end?
@@LorenzoGiordanoGomeshe started off with this version. I was in Manchester on Saturday and it was amazing show. When he does the Floyd it is so perfect to the album's
@detectivehowarb7 What do you mean.
Mesmerized by Roger Waters performing this live in Birmingham tonight. Moved me to tears
What is Justin Timberlake doing here?
I saw him in Prague and he wasn't singing live, it was this studio version
Absolutely love roger waters 😁
After surviving a severe case of Covid I had the opportunity to take my son to This is Not a Drill Live in Mexico City. I cried so much in this song and was so thankful to be alive and having the chance of seeing this show with my son and transmit my love for this Music. I believe he had the best rock experience of his life. Thank you Roger!
Thank you for sharing this my brother, reading about your experience with your son really hit me....

I was crying on the inside and fucking hug them on the moment. I know that we are not sleepers from the people that we love and cherish in our lives. Peace from Portugal.
Im so glad you survived and to do that with your son! Im glad you cried too. Its carthartic.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience. Cari saluti dall'Italia...
It fits like a glove for these days and our possible future. Maybe today makes more sense than 1979. This kind of composition is what we need as human beings. Not everything is dancing, not everything is party. Songs, and art, need to be the fuel for inner and outer transformation. Thanks for still being here, Roger, doing this. You are inspiration.
When Rogers been static for a while,there’s usually a meaningful explanation 👌🎶. Hence the term Still Waters run deep 🎶🙏❤️
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's like the song has a whole entirely new meaning
Roger Waters IS the PIG 🐷
IDK... There is a brutal war in Ukraine, when murderous dictatorship has attacked viciously its smaller neighbor. At least that comes to my mind when I see dark and broken city views of this video. Flashing lights don't remind me lighting but explosions of russian missiles.
I'm not sure how does it feel for Ukrainians to hear filthy rich Waters singing from US how he has become "comfortably numb". It is cold and dark in many homes of Ukraine right now, they are suffering and in fear for coming bombings
I'm afraid art without meaning is an empty shell, worthless junk
Gracias por tu comentario amigo. Es muy bueno
Only those who witnessed this live would understand how powerful this version is: the lights, the visual effects, the sound effects, the enthusiasm of more than 20 thousands people around you... this is just beyond any word I can use to describe it!
I bought tickets for both nights in Los Angeles. It was amazing. This version is just as good as the old one.
First time i heard it was in Amsterdam ziggo dome. As soon as i got home i got tickets to see the show again in Glasgow. Best ever!
correct the live really brought it to another level
It was amazing live.
So true.
The lighting seemed real in the arena !! I was nearly in tears..
So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I didn't think it was possible to not only reinvent this amazing classic, but to somehow convey a whole new meaning that speaks to this day and age where we stand on the brink. Of what, nobody knows. Absolutely brilliant Roger. Amazing.
I think we're past the brink. Now we're just "waiting for the worms", if you get what i mean by that (if not, read the lyrics of that song). And im not exited for it.

Holy holy smokes. This isn't even a remake. It's like a whole new absolute masterpiece. I am floored by this.
This is one of those songs you need to put on headphones, close your eyes and just listen. It hits different. The thunder, rain and somber music takes you to a dystopian future where you can feel the pain. Everytime the woman at the end starts to sing I get chills all over my body.
its different but is very goood

Fui a su recital del día sábado en Chile, y estoy profundamente emocionada, su música me transporta a otra dimensión, me hace llorar, reflexionar, pensar en dónde estoy. Agradezco a mi marido que me mostró la música de Pink Floyd y de ahí llegar a conocer un poquito más de Roger, David y el gran maestro como Syd Barret. ¡Paz para Todos!
Yo viaje desde el sur.con mi hijo y fue mágico ese concierto!!
yo fui al show en mi país y sin duda, roger me transmitió todo, lloré, grite, reflexioné. Es hermoso poder estar viva y pertenecer al mismo planeta con este gran ícono de la música, que siempre nos transmite transparencia en todo.

Hauntingly depressing visual with beautiful ethereal sound. Still trying to get my soul back into my body after this experience. 🤪
Gorgeous.
Edit: Had to come back for more...Man, this one is not a 'remake'... it is a whole creature of its own birthed from the womb of its Mother.
The additional comment nailed it... well said
Incredibe video and song. Looks like a post apocalyptic world that Roger has written about many times.
Na, let your soul wander. That’s when I’m at my best. Life is too short not to.
@@70AD-user45 Yes. Notice everyone is looking down with their arm up, probably staring, out of habit at their lifeless phones (looks like no electricity or vehicles), or empty palms...zombies.
Just realised the connection to mobile phones. Zombification of man in a post apocalyptic world where looking down at your palm has been programmed into man. That's Roger Waters. Amazing poet, lyricist, artist, and song writer. Music has never before seen his like.
Well - seeing and hearing that version live on Roger’s current tour was just amazing. The visuals, the sound-effects in surround, the quality, dynamics and volume was just earth-shattering. Wauv.
Fuldstændig enig! En voldsom, men smuk oplevelse.
👍
I'm going on tour in October, in Brazil
I'm seeing him play in a couple of days and very much looking forward to hearing this version. It's stunning enough anyway, but I can imagine that seeing it live might even break me.
It just seems to encapsulate a lot of what people were going through with lockdowns, as well as Roger's ability to keep his old songs relevant, even to the point of the arrangements and technical aspects of the production.
@@moniquemolinaribora ver no Brasil 🤩🇧🇷🎶👏
I have been a fan of PF for many of my 79 years and must admit I thought it impossible to re-create Comfortably Numb without those soaring guitar solos and yet the first time my wife and I stumbled over this recent version by Roger, we fell in love with it even more than our previous favourite which was Roger in Berlin with Van Morrison doing lead vocals. An absolute masterpiece Roger...well done....
Roger is a great man. He is one of the heroes they will talk about in times distant from now
This version is showing the whole world in pain, numb.
Lamentableme es el futuro .
Had the privilege of experiencing this live yesterday. The sound was tremendously powerful, 3D and the thunder were at realistic sound pressure. I was blown away
I saw Roger in Prague and it was this studio version , he wasn't on the stage
My ears and brain definitely waits for the guitar solo, in each music statement and chords... The best guitar solo of all times.
Solos. There are two of them. ;-)
There is a great singing solo in it, didn't you hear?
I kinda think that's Roger's point (along with erasing David's contribution, a side benefit for R). The intent is to be made uncomfortable and ill at ease. That difference between expectation and experience is what he's aiming at.
Best solo ever
Erasing the solos is burying the light. But shine on Roger, from behind your wall.
Well Roger, even if you wanted to make it darker, it's heavenly dark. I get chills every time I listen to it and indeed Shanay has a beautiful voice. Thanks for this remake.
Perfect: heavenly dark -- yes!!
Shanay?

I'm a stickler for a reworked classic. Rarely ever like them.
Watching this live this summer was absolutely majestic.
Thanks for an amazing experience.
Flawless musicianship from everyone all night.
It was an emotionally charged journey, accompanied by a haunting and hypnotic visual from start to finish.
Musically I prefer the original, but this take has a completely different purpose. Comparing the two is kinda perilous. The original was part of a story. It shared the feelings of a desperate man forced from isolation. Heart-wrenching and painful. This isn't a story, and I don't think it's even meant to be enjoyed. It's an alert, a call to action. It's meant to motivate change. Will it be as effective at that goal as the original was at its goal? I hope so.
It's a cold, dark and snowy morning and I get to hear the studio version of this masterful reproduction of an all-time classic. Thank you, Roger.
Its so beautiful!
It literally started pouring outside when I started this song.
Indeed this is hauntingly epic!!
Watching this live was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had
We all did Hero
deep stuff dude. Roger has the power to connect you with your real self with just a sound.
@Renzor... I did not expect the concert (saw him here in KC) to start this way, but damn it got me ready for the rest of the show.
I'm also elated this got published too.
Saw him twice this tour was so awesome
I def cried. That ending tore me up
The slow tempo and dark key make it so timely; I hope that everyone grasps on to the love that was offered and is still.
Sadly, I think the people who most need to heed this warning are the people who are least likely to hear it. I think it's up to us to live our lives in a good way, whatever that means to each of us, and show others by example what it looks like when a life is well lived. Far more people will be affected that way. (It also comes across as less preachy.)
Sobbed through the whole of Roger’s Manchester concert. Couldn’t quite comprehend being in the presence of someone so musically influential. I fucking love Roger
Uncle Roger to those in the know😊
Christ get a grip
@@thealphabetmonsteri felt the same way. Respect to Roger.
@@thealphabetmonsterIf you're one of those 'I love Pink Floyd, but CAN'T stand Roger's politics' you'll be just as well to Fuck Off!
I have no words… It looks like the end of the story. My soul is crying. Thank you Mr. Roger 🧎🏻♀️
I so much appreciate the love, time and affection you have dedicated to my career all this years and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you in person.
Where are you watching from?
Roger Waters reading our comments?? Ok, Mr Waters- read this message-Jesus Christ is calling You. Do not ignore Him and drop everything to do that
A different version, totally different but truly goosebumps especially if you listen to it with headphones.
The female vocals are truly the TOP.
A version that makes you think .... think .... fly.
Personally, even if I was expecting a totally different version, .... like it
I always listen too this with headphones 🥰
I agree with u with the female vocalist she sounds amazing and powerful on this track however she been overshadowed by the fact there is no guitar solo I try not compair with the original and take it as a diffrent take
This version has such a melancholic quality to it, much like "Is There Anybody Out there?", it even has that seagull guitar effect. Well done sir
A world without Roger Waters is like a sky without a stars.... Roger for ever ❤❤❤❤
You said it Roger...."Together we stand,divided we fall". Pink Floyd was always more than the sum of their individualities.Your endearing darkness is profoundly artistic and I respect your version of the song.
If only he'd felt the same about his bandmates.
who are you bruh@Realkeifersutherland__
His gloom and doom
I like this version, but it is David’s solo that moves me to tears in your original collaboration. This version has its merits, but for me the versions where David Gilmour does extended solos are the absolute cream of the crop.
Delicate sound of thunder had my favourite version of this song with perhaps the best guitar solo of all time in it
Biens sur,le solo de David est incroyable, mais justement Roger a réussi cette version en oubliant le solo de David volontairement, très intelligemment,car peut être qu'il sais,que personne pourrait faire aussi biens que Gilmour sur le solo,je trouve que cette version est biens réalisé,la vidéo aussi, ont retrouve les bruitages qui se rapproche de Pink Floyd, d'ailleurs c'est Roger qui en était le principal acteur des effets sonores avec Richard Wright, sur les précédant albums a part (the wall) richard n'a pas participé à l'album,brouille avec Waters,mais ont ne vas pas refaire l'histoire.. Roger a voulu faire cette version en s'éloignant de Pink Floyd,en laissant son ADN., très astucieux de sa part, c'est un grand compositeur, très rigoureux , peut être de trop, pour les autres membres du groupe.j'ecoute cette version comme si c'était une autre.. d'ailleurs je pense que le but de Waters était de l'éloigner de la version originale.bonne soirée ou plutôt bonne nuit.
@@THL_Jontae wut? PULSE all the way!
Yep. Love Roger and his immense talent. But for me - no PF without David. Sorry
it seems much darker without, closer to a new vision
The original Comfortably Numb is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song and I think this version is phenomenal! The dark depth and the plodding rhythm, the soul wrenching vocals at the end make it an entirely new experience. Thank you, Roger, for this reimagining!
Hauntingly beautiful. I am blown away. No one touches the dark side of the soul like Mr. Waters.
Always was, and always will be, one of my top 5 songs from Pink Floyd! I absolutely love this version.
Get real this versions FM sucks effing please give me a freaking break
I so much appreciate the love, time and affection you have dedicated to my career all this years and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you in person.
Where are you watching from?
Holy shit. I don’t know why I didn’t listen to this earlier. That’s haunting. I’ll say it. This is tied for best recording of comfortably numb right with the version on Pulse. You and David both made this song into something legendary. Fighting or not. Be proud of that.
Forever and always a David Gilmour girl first (my dad was a guitarist).... but this is bloody amazing. Dark Side of the Moon has been the soundtrack of my entire life, I was born just 3 days before it was released and is still some of the very first music I remember (I have a white vinyl copy from the original run). I know this is from The Wall, but it was also in my father's hi-fi upon release.... and it taught me how to get through the trauma crisis that was my life both then and now. This version is so iconic for the reflection of the time in which we are in today. Thank you Roger, and thank you everyone who put it together.
I so much appreciate the love, time and affection you have dedicated to my career all this years and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you in person.

I do not argue about the greatness of the song, it is simply a masterpiece. But congratulations on the video making, really wonderful! You deeply touched my sensitivity
Such a great opener to "This Is Not A Drill..." Was fortunate enough to see it live during the first show in July. It makes me think of the society we live in today in how grim it can be at times. But we have those to help us and push through some dark times. Keep on inspiring people Roger!
Al prinicpio estaba en duda si me iba a gustar esta versión, pero presenciarlo en vivo fue totalmente una locura. 10/10
tal cual Luis, cuando escuchaba la canción grabada me parecía sombría, pero cuando la escuché en directo me impactó!!!!!
a mi me voló la cabeza, siempre he pensado que comfortably numb es la mejor canción para cerrar un concierto, pero escucharla al inicio del This Is Not a Drill, en esta versión mas tranquila y ambientalizada fue una experiencia completamente surreal
Totalmente
Me explotó la cabeza, los efectos de tormenta!!! Muy emotivo
Seeing this and experiencing it in concert as it opened Roger's show, sent chills through my body. It was such an amazing experience that I will always remember, thank you!
mine too
I would love to experience this at one of his "happenings". l feel the word "gig" or "concert" cannot even begin to describe what a person must feel during this awakening. Yes, you'll have that memory for the rest of your life & that is untouchable.
the beat, the sound is was enormous. I had the same chills to tonight in Ziggo Dome Amsterdam.
@@gerardduinkerken8778 same!! Also in the Ziggo Dome.
The sound of the Ziggo Dome is unbelievable sometimes.
will see the show in Berlin in a few weeks :)
Much appreciated the 2022 version. Leonard Cohen-style. The original 1979 version is always in my heart and mind. 🖤
I'm speechles. I love the original and so my husband sent me the link. I sit here, captivated through the whole song. The tuning, the tempo, the voices, the visuals and the sound effects create an atmosphere, so hauntingly beautyful, I'm stunned 👏👏👏.
It's very gloomy, dark, depressing, apocalyptic, and very Roger Waters. Although even by Roger's standards it's very dark. It's even darker than THE WALL. It's a reflection on the times we're living in, or how at least Roger sees the dystopian world, which is not in the future because it's here already. It must be tough being Roger Waters.
My husband also sent me the link. Already loved the original, but this version is even more beautiful. The music, the visuals, voices, everything. As you described it best, "hauntingly beautiful" 😊🤘
Partner I'm seeing send me this god I love him for this
Roger, you managed to remove from my favourite song what I reckon is the best guitar solo ever. Nevertheless, what you have now gifted us is another masterpiece. I am speechless and with goosebumps. Standing ovation.
I really hope you'll tour New Zealand again soon. Please!
Performing live at an age of 79 this will goes straight to the soul 🍀
This was absolutely amazing in concert you could really feel the emotions in the song
The original version has always led me to tears because of yours and David’s work, his solo just spoke volumes to me. This version, even though there’s no guitar solo, was set to amaze as well. I won’t lie and say that a guitar solo wasn’t missed, the original is still my number one and it would make so much sense here too, but Shanay Johnson’s vocals gave me shivers and really brought tear to my eyes. Before listening, I thought “Mr. Waters, take the wheel” and you really did, so glad Johnson came along.
Hello there. How are you doing today? Nice meeting you here
I really think this version depicts very well the Comfortably Numb concept it was intended, it has these eerie background sounds that could easily be part of The Wall movie :)
Me too, in tears every time I listen to the original, even more the live Pulse version, in video 😢🥰
This one isn't even close to the original.
I was at the London Palladium last year to see him. Utterly mesmerising. Genius.
Now we have two wonderful versions of this song to listen to. Thanks Roger. Forever grateful.
I prefer the original version, but this one conveys a somehow new deep meaning. Excellent!
Same. This has a different flavour altogether. Else who would dare to recreate that monstrous Gilmour outro 😅 but female vocals were fire too.
"Just a little pin prick that will keep you going through the show" 🤔🤪
yes, but consider them 2 different songs and absorb the feeling....this is brilliant in its own 'roger' way....CN pt2
We're not here to compare this to the original. We're here to listen to this one for what it is.
@@nectarinedreams7208 We?
i saw the show this summer. as soon as i heard the first lyrics my heart skipped a beat, i cried, had goosebumps, it was a magical moment. Comfortably numb always been my favorite song and i got it tattooed on my arm, withthis version i still love it, more and more, i am so glad that he made this studio version! thank you so much Roger
Bajo la tormenta eléctrica y la lluvia en el centenario fue épico a otro nivel, gracias Roger, gracias
Yo en un momento pensé que eran reales los truenos, y creo q lo fueron...
fué un show en 4D.
Nosotros vivimos esa misma sensación este fin de semana en el Estadio Monumental David Arellano, en Chile. tuve oportunidad de estar enfrente, a dos filas del escenario y fue una experiencia única
Lo más loco fue que la tormenta comenzó cuando comenzó el recital. Esta versión un poco apocalíptica, en un día así me encantó
@@Elsevior en Montevideo los rayos eran reales mientras sonaba este tema. Eso quiso decir el compañero
every millisecond is pleasure. Shanay Jonhson sealed the deal for me. That was heart wrenching haunting and beautiful
i am 24 years old ,i prefer your music than modern music . This is version Comfortably numb is Awesome thanks you , Grandpa Roger , greetings from Kazakhstan!
Stfu this sounds horrible
your grandma is happy person in the universe
While I do think it's lacking something important without the guitars, this is still a fantastic arrangement. I especially appreciate the samples from Echoes.
OH MY DAYS Roger! I’m a Gilmore fanatic, but adore you all! How just how have you re-written this without the guitar solo??????? One of the most legendary riffs of all time!
You bloody genius! It was ethereal, moving, and the word written and sang were just like the guitar ‘weeping for help’. I adore this version. Got goosebumps watching it ‘at the bar’ in the cinema.
Thank you so very very much! What an experience. Wow how do you keep doing it?!
We would all adore you town to speak, but too much water under the bridge now (pun lol)! Sad as the whole message of this concert was that!
Back to this version, the only comparison I can make is Gary Moore still got the blues, or Prince purple rain without the guitar solo. It shouldn’t work, but it does.
We’ve now got an epic brand new version. One is NOT better than the other. They’re incomparable…… it gave me the feeling of Echoes in Pompeii, and High Hope! God bless you 😘❤🌈🙏
The fact that he released this gives me hope he’ll also release The Powers That Be, that was my favorite of the changed songs in the concert, so to hear it again in good quality, possibly studio quality, would bring me much joy.
That was probably the highlight of the concert for me, as far as which song blew my mind...Never in a million years did I expect to hear The Powers That Be played live in 2022. However, the odds of Roger releasing a new version of The Powers That Be are probably 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000...
I second this, I need a proper release of the new rendition of The Powers That Be
I hope he does a whole live concert like he did with us and them
Was going to request the same ;)
@@NolanEgbert Yes!
I absolutely love this version it feels like animals, echoes and all of Roger's emotions plugged into one track. I just wish it had a solo, but at the end of the day, it is still a masterpiece regardless.
That is because he does not have Gilmour, the voice and guitar of pink floyd:).
Just having the omission of that solo is an homage to the rest of Pink Floyd. The yearning is as ominous as the meaning and the vision.
@@misterhello9189 I can agree with that, Gilmore is absolutely mesmerizing on that guitar!
@@jacobvanveit3437 yea I still love it for that reason for me this song paid homage to other albums and felt like when Johnny Cash did “hurt”. There was wisdom, experiences, emotions, and pain in that song. It felt like Animals tried to warn us, and this song was the aftermath…
Of course the guitarsolo is missing!
What you did when you wrote this song was literally being light years away from everything that was done at that time.
This theme is timeless. I listened to it when I was little, I listen to it when I am older (54 years old) and my grandchildren will listen to it.
This version is beautiful, believe me... but nothing compares to the solo that David Gilmour did.
During all these years, what I love the most is the ease that you have to transform. Congratulations and thank you for giving us so much quality material.Hopefully someone will continue your work that for years has opened the minds of millions of people. Long live you, Mr. Rogers!
The Wall is utterly amazing. Really have no idea what the purpose of touching it is about. This here...simply unnecessary and dreadful
E rocks has no clue
Gilmour's solo is great and we can all hear it on the originals. It's wonderful Roger is still with us and busily creating and we have a new version for the current times.
I had the luck to see this is not a drill tour twice. In London and Prague. Both times this opener touched my soul so much and it’s just such a perfect version to open the concert with. So happy I experienced this live♥️
I've been to alot of concerts but this opening at MSG with the thunder was by far the best opening ever..my whole body froze with goosebumps
Roll on Barcelona roger ❤️
We saw him in Albany on 7/20/22. This as the opening was surreal. We had floor seats.

Had the great pleasure of seeing this live show back in October in Austin TX. I have seen nearly 50 live shows in my 40 years of being alive, and This Is Not a Drill was easily the most important, memorable and amazing live show I’ve ever seen.
You have truely lived a blessed life.
Did he play it in this style live?
@@DOM643 yes. This is the version they play live.
Agreed. Not sure how many shows I've been to in my life but it's probably at least 50 and Roger's were by far the best. I liked the Us and Them tour slightly better but both were top notch.
What was your top Ten.
If you wouldn't mind sharing.
I have listened and loved the original since 1979, this is another masterpiece by this amazing man who just can't fail. Absolutely fantastic with the video. Bravo.
Fui a tu recital. Llovia, escuche esta intro, escuche los clasicos, tus nuevas canciones, llore 2 veces y volvi a casa escuchando Wish you we here por por milésima vez. Gracias por tu arte, por hacer de cada disco una historia, por homenajear a Syd, por darle mucha musica a nuestros momentos mas lindos. Gracias por hacernos pensar!! Sos el uno Roger. You are Pink Floyd!
It's amazing how much a visual guide can influence emotions
Experienced this live on the 15th of April, 2023-
My mom is a massive Pink floyd fan, my dad a little less so but he really likes it to. I knew most of the classic stuff- But jesus christ I was not prepared for this openining to hit as hard as it did.
Listening to this version now keeps giving me chills-
It did the same thing to me man. Seeing this live is something else.
after 33 years of listening to your music, it still manages to move me to fucken tears! Great Work Roger ❤
When the show started with this, I got goosebumps, it was just spectacular. A night I will never forget. ♥️🤌🏻
The Video Detail, theme and story behind it is Awesome! and fitting for the world today we live in as it all it takes is one Loud Crack like that Lightning and Thunder in Video, but its a bomb instead that falls, Like in Goodbye Blue Sky
I Love You Stranger, we are all the same, flesh suits merely, but different souls that all know we are family and try to show us daily, but we don't all have soul Eyes or Ears to Hear Them calling and showing us signs
Cya Brother
Peace and Blessings
...And when the show ended with this and that epic crash to black....I will never forget.
What a fucking show.
I saw it in Raleigh and Orlando. Tears streaming down my face.
Same here but in Atlanta just 2 days later.
Roger! Thank you so much for this amazing remake of this Song! After so many years hearing pink floyd, this year it was my first concert! The Show was amazing! Thank you for these two hours of kindness with my mother! We loved it!
And thanks for ALL of your Songs!!
For sure I will hear them till to my end!
I watched it's not a drill row e VIP meal champagne it was very nice
Roger, Ive seen you just about every Tour within the last 20 years. I loved THE WALL LIVE, but this re-arrangement of Comfortably Numb to open was amazing! I saw you at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. I found myself in immediate nostalgia wishing my father (who committed suicide) would be sitting beside me. This was one of his favorites. The dark arrangement and lady solo at the end put me in tears as i sat in my chair! Unbelievable show! Your music continues to be a large influence in my life. Thank you
This video was the open song of This is nit the drill show in DC 2022, first sounds of the song gave me chills and realized that I was about to witness the greatest show on earth. Thank you Roger for keep creating. What a talent
We got the same feeling after seeing this live.
As an Autistic / ADHDer who has noted since a small child (age 3) aspects of society that are greatly lacking, this video is hauntingly sad and beautiful. The arts are a way to reconnect to our hearts and souls. We have an epidemic of isolation and loneliness and have lost touch with what matters. My hope for my grown children and all the children, is we get uncomfortable and start to change the path.
Oui
Saw the This Is Not A Drill show in Birmingham. Never have and never will see anything as good again live. Music from the heavens. Thank you Roger for placing those memories in my head.
C'mon Roger reunit with David and Nick, and stand together for peace. Can you do that Roger? Do it.
@Vanleer Egan Not peace for Pink Floyd, peace for the world. Of course Roger, David and Nick want it.
As much as it would be nice to see them live together agan, i have to say that i don't think they could work together as artists again. They are way too different. They've always been different, but Roger has stayed consistent whereas David has changed way too drastically.
He’s too much of a prick to admit there was more to Pink Floyd than himself
Leave it be. Be thankful for all they all have given us. Don't try to take sides on matters outside of our personal business.
This version is really good, on a few different levels.
Yeah. They are really being jerks about it
Only you, Roger. Only you can take a masterpiece and transform it in to another masterpiece.
Into a boring piece of shit, just another attemp of Waters in trying to Wash the David Gilmour work in the Pink Floyd music.
😴
Absolutly
well said :D
I agree. He took something we know and reimagined it and showed it to us again in a different way. I thought it was awesome in concert because its nice to have the artist confident enough to put some songs in different types of arrangements.
Absolutely beautiful version of this track! Always remember, too, everyone. Sometimes in the deepest darkness, can shine the brightest stars. Stay strong and stay safe.
...divine...thank you Roger...from the soul...53 years old...and still love your passion to make us think beyound...thank YOU....HUG
I love this version, Roger. Beautifully dark with a great tempo. This deserves to play a key part in a A list movie. Excellent job & thank you very much for everything you have brought to the world. Long live the flying pig!
La canzone è il punto di svolta del "the Wall"la modificata bellissima interpretazione della ragazza al posto del assolo di chitarra che faceva Gilmour nulla da togliere però la chitarra era meglio
When you think that perfection cannot be perfected, this wonder arrives. Thank you Roger, you will always be my sun in my musical universe
I was there! It was a pleasure and an honor watching this live in Mexico last month. The screams of excitement, the applause, the entire arena vibrating with emotion... it all really adds a lot to this epic song. It was worth the wait. That was the happiest day of our lives. RogerTour 2022.
That makes me smile.
Junto com 30 mil pessoas, assistimos " This is not a drill" em Porto Alegre, RS. Essa versão, que abre o show, é impactante ! Quem não se emociona ? Obrigado Roger Waters !
Eu estava lá ! muito bom
Eu tbm estava la, foi demais 🎼🎼🎼😎
Vi ele sábado passado em Curitiba. Essa versão me surpreendeu, eu esperava menos, mas ao vivo ficou demais. Para mim ficou 8/10 e a original 10/10. Felizmente eu vi a versão original, a música de Java o setlist da turnê passada.

This is incredible! The magick is still there-and growing! The soloist you have in the video is super and the video itself is so moving and perfectly suited with the song and the times. I only wish I could see this video live. Thank you Mr Waters!🤘🎸🎵🎶

I simply won't compare it to the original. Two separate works with their own powerful merits. Well done and thank you for sharing the story in the description.
Holy sh*t!! There has been a while since the last time I've heard something so exquisite!! 🙏
Roger made it dark and sad. Almost painful. He removed guitar solos. He added a video and created a scene for the song. The voice singing/crying at the end. And the pig...
Pink Floyd for ever and ever.
What a beautiful new version of this already classic. Haunting with a whole new meaning in the present day. Amazing vocals. Respect
OMG... That was phenomenal! Those vocals a the end! Like, whhhhaaaatt????!!!! I FELT them. Beautiful!
Excellent version ! It is as if it reaches all the people giving a message of unity in the midst of the turbulent times we live in.
Thank you for all the music you give us dear Roger ❤️
We are waiting for you in November 2023
Greetings from Chile
I was not expecting a Slowcore version of Comfortably Numb in the vein of Low. The vocal solo at the closing really did help to break the tension. Stunning.
It's actually very close to the original tempo...
@Rickbeato
I love this version. It was awesome seeing live. If you get a chance go see Roger before it's too late. Well worth the expense. 👍👍👍

Perfect for a guitar backing tracking

None of you alone could ever produce what you did together. I know it's a blow to the ego, but you caught fire in a bottle, and it only worked because of everyone's contributions. Thank you for being a part of, what in my humble opinion, was the greatest band of all time.
I like this version more. That's just your opinion. The original version is not objectively better than this. I think this is better for many reasons.
Yeah… major success due to collaboration. But you gotta admit his songwriting is great anyway. In and of itself, these are brilliant musical compositions.
@@peepeepoopoo8006
I can’t personally decide. I lean toward the original as better. But I really like this one too. Reminds me of Is There Anybody Out There?
@@peepeepoopoo8006 Modern sounds, modern mixing and still fails to be better than the original. Two of the best guitar solos ever written cut in favour of a anonym voice solo is enough to put it behind. If they would re-record the original note for note with this sound quality and definition it wouldn't even be close.
@@johnhill762yes and finished with another great gig in the sky

Shout out to your graphics guys/gals!!! That was a journey and Shanay definitely brought the song home. Thank you for sharing this Roger. In fact, thank you for all you have given us through the decades!! PS - your latest show in SF was INCREDIBLE and well worth enduring the pandemic delay!!
Such a terrifically apt rendition of the classic for our contemporary chaotic, dystopian times. Thank you RW for this stunning production. And the haunting video was perfectly complimented too.
Saw this tour a few times and every single time this experience blew my mind. I took my brother to one of these shows and I looked over at him and he had tears in his eyes, and then I started to well up.
