Thank God for the internet; I think people should appreciate it more. It's amazingly easy to see just about any video, clip, song, live performance, etc. you want to see. No matter how rare it is, somebody probably has a tape of it and put it on RUclips for people around the world to see whenever they want, and it will never deteriorate because it's digital. Crazy.
There are no words that can describe the sheer power of that guitar solo. It almost sends you to another dimension when you listen to it, simply amazing.
I think Simon Pegg summed it up perfectly with his comment about the world being around for 4.5 billion years and we were lucky enough to live in a time to enjoy his masterly genius.
Symo 99 Yes but even David Gilmour acknowledged that David Bowie made it his own song in his parts. And despite the original being so amazing Bowie brings an extra level of awesomeness to it.
+Tam Benitez It was exactly this thought that gave me unbelievable power, when doctors said me that I had cancer! And because of this thought I fought it......AND I WON!!!
Can't believe it's been 40 years since I saw David Bowie on Midnight Special. Didn't get the skirts back then...what an innovator. Godspeed Thin White Duke...
One of the greatest artists ever. David Bowie will be missed, but his music is a treasure and a heritage of immense value. This performance, with my other musical "hero", David Gilmour, is moving and beautiful
+Walter Bianco Well said Walter. Your last 2 words were precisely descriptive. . I have to say, that before the passing of David Bowie? there have been quite a lot of negative comments regarding Bowie's input on this version of Comfortably numb. I have and always will take the opposite view that in my opinion? it is THE version that farrr easily beats all other versions and Bowie's voice had a helluva lot to do with that. Tc now
I love the vocals in this version!! And it goes without saying that the guitar god couldn't hit a bad note if he tried. Bless both of you for giving the world this beautiful rendition
years and years comfortably numb was in each music device i had, just Bowie added a new and different sensation to it, no doubt the floyds creation and sounds are timless.
im 21 and i have some life big goals , expectations or wishes... to be a father, to be rich, to be healthy and to be on a david gilmour's concert. If i had to give up on one of them i seriously think it wouldnt be the last one
I have goosebumps. This is the show that made me want to become a guitarist. I don't understand why he isn't included in the list of greatest guitarists of all time,,, Cuz he is definitely up there...
Can I live in this amazing video with 2 great Davids of all time...don't want to leave so mesmerized am I to the screen and superb music..have to go but unable to as ready to play it one more time for the duration
70Halloween? I would've given anything to have been at The Royal Albert Hall that night in 2007, as much as I listen to both of these too Talented Guys!!!!!!!!!

I'm not even a Floyd fan, though I like them fine in small doses. But every time I hear Gilmour, I'm struck by how great his tone and phrasing are. He never walks all over the song. Every time the chord sequence goes around, he plays a line, then builds on it in the second line, then wraps up in the last line -- like he's writing a paragraph. It's textbook, and I mean that in a good way. He and Robin Trower both have that ability to keep a slow-moving solo interesting. Good post.
i love bowies take on this. very ballsy move, but i think it works for the song. kinda creepy-crazy, going with the spacy epicness that is david gilmour. incredible.

SEE, BIG BROTHER HAS GOT IT'S USES.🙈🙉🙊
Rest In Peace David Bowie, a man will be missed, but the legend will always live on
shine on like a crazy diamond

+Michael Buckley agreed.
+Michael Buckley He never said that.
So what did he say then?
Nothing. nymag.com/following/2016/01/simon-pegg-didnt-really-post-this-bowie-tweet.html
A gift from earth, to somewhere else. Thank you, Mr. Bowie.
It's actually David Gilmour who made this song the masterpiece it actually is... with all due respect to Bowie
Symo 99 Yes but even David Gilmour acknowledged that David Bowie made it his own song in his parts. And despite the original being so amazing Bowie brings an extra level of awesomeness to it.
The legend that is, was and always will be, Mr David Bowie, RIP
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. Have a nice trip!
+Tam Benitez true...well put
+Tam Benitez the energy lives,its immortal,only flesh and bone goes into the ground xxx
+Tam Benitez
Quite. A touching sentiment. I recommend a listening to Syd Barrett's 'Flaming' for this reason.
+Tam Benitez Well said

Why have I never seen this before?!!!
Most awesome thing I have heard all year.
There is nobody better than David G.
This song is one of the best songs ever made and Bowie made it even better. r.i.p
it's so great to see my favourite singer/songwriter on stage with David Gilmour. I would of loved to of seen this concert!
The one rule is, NEVER mess with a good music.
But for Bowie, an exception was made, the song is so lovely
And David Bowie still ROCKS us all away!!!! Love that Man!!!
R.I.P. David Bowie... I'm so sad...
Bowie si mette in ombra quando canta Gilmour.....grande rispetto...grande uomo...love Bowie forever
Solo e sempre grandissima commozione ascoltare e vedere insieme David Gilmour, David Bowie, Rich Wright pensando a Syd Barrett! Love
No one does it better than David Gilmour.
I have never seen an audience awed into silence until I saw this DVD when it first came out. This solo made my jaw hit the floor.
I love the vocals in this version!! And it goes without saying that the guitar god couldn't hit a bad note if he tried. Bless both of you for giving the world this beautiful rendition
I was lucky enough to have been there. When Bowie walked on stage the Hall erupted!
Happy memories :-)
Unique song I had the privilege of performing in a dive years ago. Thanks for posting this version with the incomparable Bowie.
years and years comfortably numb was in each music device i had, just Bowie added a new and different sensation to it, no doubt the floyds creation and sounds are timless.
With Syd and Richard Wright and now Bowie If there's a rock n' roll heaven well you know they got one hell of a band
tears and more...smile returns when db smiles.
RIP David Bowie, we will stay here in a Confortably numb, but whisn you here in our heart.
I can't wait to hear this on his concert in Chile. I wanna cry of emotion...
Woke up on the river Kwai an just listened. What a way to start the day 6 am
WORDS CAN NOT EXPLAIN THE FEELING I GET EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG!
There we have it folks!! 2 power house musicians singing 1 of the greatest songs of all time , it ent gonna get any better
Bowie, Gilmour and Wright RIP -
together on stage better than ever -
great pleasure - thx for posting this vid
Two Titans on a Stage! Thanks for that!
Never get tired of Gilmour. He is my favorite guitarist! I got vertigo at the end when a camera from the ceiling pointed down to the massive venue!
Fantastica da brividi, DUE MOSTRI DELLA MUSICA.
I can never get tired of listening to this rendition. It's amazing.
Volvi despues de muchos muchos años a ver este vídeo, solo por que recorde a este hombre bailar, señor donde quiera que esté, muchas gracias ♥
just the most beautiful solo of all times.
Eva Olazabal agreed!

This is the best version I've heard. Bowie is fantastic with P.F. Miraculous!
pulse version
Absolutely my friend. Bowie 's voice and his rendition of this song? just takes it to a whole new level. Tc now
It's like when David is playing his music, he reaches in and touches your soul.
I love that smile when he nearly misses the second half of the verse :)
