The way that Bowie steps back several steps after his verses, puts his hands behind his back and lowers his head when Gilmour steps forward is pure class. Two British legends, two amazing voices.
Personnally, I think Bowie adds a completely new dimension to this song and it is a strike of genius that he doesn't try to replicate Waters' vocals but adds his own completely unique twist.
Shame it is not for 18 or even 80 minutes. I listen to this masterpiece evey day when I do my exercises. And time flies by. Best version is the one in Gdansk though. May I congratulate you on your impeccable taste in music.
Saw them in Earls Court London. I got to meet Gilmour and Rick Wright RIP as I’m related to Sam Brown ( Joe Browns daughter) who was one of the backing singers. Fantastic night !! I’m an atheist but THAT was a spiritual experience !!! Gilmour speaks and weeps through his guitar !!
yeah. an experience of just wanting to be dead? I have nothing but endless respect and admiration for Pink Floyd but ffs I can't listen to them - even one song - without getting so freaking depressed it's scary. I'm not naturally depressed so the effect is notable. Had to give them up before I hurt myself :(
I was there in the 5th row. I cried then, I cried just now when I played it. The whole evening was very special. You knew that you were seeing stellar musicians at the peak of their powers. I think that this version of Comfortably Numb is the finest version of any rock song ever played. It is that good. I doubt that it will ever be surpassed.
You lucky man, I feel lucky just watching the Remember that night DVD, I once played it to some friends on holiday, no one hardly said a word for 3 hours. Wonderful.
As a Floyd fan this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time. But Bowie takes it to another level. For me the definite version of a masterpiece. RIP David - still missed.
@@charlesstein2880 one thing bowie doesnt get attention for is his ability to readopt his previous charachters in voice and mannerisms especially during some live shows.
The hardest part of getting old is losing those you have loved for many, many years. People I’ve known personally and those who have touched my soul through their art. I miss you Richard. I miss you Mr. Bowie. God bless!
I totally agree, he should have been immortal, it seems like something shifted when he died, sounds daft I know but he was truly such a genius. 7 years on and he is still so missed, such a humble, beautiful soul
@@libertydogs7380But Bowie IS immortal. He's simply moved on to another plane of existence we have not reached. He will ALWAYS be here and there and all around us.
To place Pink Floyd & Bowie alongside the Greats of Classical music is plain ridiculous!! You've got completely carried away with your love of this particular Band & why not? 😄
No man has ever been truer then David Bowie. I never knew he had turned down knighthood but with such grace of a gentleman too. He deserved everything that is good in life. RIP.
@@TheRealAamod There's a drunk in my neighborhood named Carlos but we call him Guitarlos. He sits at this bar patio on the corner trying oh so hard to woo the ladies by playing and singing Hotel California in such a mangled drunken whine that it kinda ruined that song for me.
God Bless David Bowie, Rick Wright, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters. These men have written, recorded and performed some of the finest music ever to grace this civilization. I love you all and could never repay you the joy and comfort you have given to me for the last 47 years.
At the end, I hope there is no pain, and they merely recede. Bowie was my hero anew earlier this year, releasing his last album the day before he left us, and leaving haunting music and video in his wake. I hope I'm that graceful and cunning when my final days are upon me.
When you think about the musical legacy, the huge, incredible body of work that those five men have left to humanity, my goodness....... I never saw Bowie live, a huge regret... However I did see Floyd twice after Roger Waters left; at Wembley Stadium in 1988, and Earls Court (the old one, now demolished) in 1994. Both incredible experiences that will live with me till the day I die.
God Bless David Bowie, Rick Wright, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters. ....AND the one and only legendary ****Phil Manzanera**** on stage, who has been collaborating with Gilmore for the last ten years..Two of my favorite guitarist on the planet with one of my most favorite singers..
amazing talents indeed my good friend. I saw David Bowie 11 times since i was a teenager. Pink Floyd 8. only Eric Clapton has more ticket stubs in my "cool stuff" box
You cannot overlook the pure musical genius that is Richard either, a classical pianist and a gift to this earth for the time he was here, god rest his soul
I only just found this version now. What an unexpected treat, this is now my favourite version.. is it just me or have others suddenly got a little dust in their eye and a lump in their throat listening to this....
Thank you for posting this masteriece. I'd never heard this collaboration. It's now my favorite performance of this song, far and away. And yes, tears.
@@robertwhiteside6194 You're absolutely right! And having David Bowie accompanying David Gilmour on stage, just makes it all the more legendary, and uniquely special.
David Bowies version of this song is stellar.He steps back to let David Gilmour do his thing...he was the epitome of class and elegance and I miss his genius.
John O'Rourke I'd never seen this before either its fuckin incredible two legends and I love them both ! Floyd is without a doubt my favorite band ever.....
This is less known than some of the many versions of comfortably numb, especially Pulse. But this beats them all for 1) Bowie and 2) the second solo is somehow EVEN BETTER as it winds up to the final minute, climbing ever higher up the fret board, and Mason’s finale
David Bowie, an intellect, an outstanding artist, creator, collaborator, a genuine nice guy, he also possessed a wonderful sense of humour. The world is a poorer place for his passing. RIP David and thank you wherever you may now be.
Kourosh TajAhmadi Yep, How could I NOT have mentioned that. To me Pink Floyd is like David Bowie. There isn't an album or song that I don't like and Richard Wright was a HUGE part of the unique sound of Pink.
The Root Of Everything Ziggy is one of a kind he's so talented he could adapt to sing just about anything I bet he is so missed RIP David ! You were and still are one of the best ever, you are alive in our hearts and our memories !
supersabrejet how would you have preferred he sang the part? Pretty sure when Gilmour plays this song live nowadays (aka without Roger to sing the verses) the vocalist will occasionally sing it similar to how Bowie did...
@@charlesschwartz307 as I was reading your comment, I had never met David Bowie either this was a very excellent concert and I also like it too when David Bowie stepped back and let Gilmour take the stage. With the loss of Bowie it hits me pretty hard too knowing I miss him soooooo very much 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 it just breaks my heart that he's gone. I don't think if I can listen to this song again it just makes me miss David Bowie even more. I'm sorry if i'm crying over here I can't help it. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 R.I.P My man.
Wow....first time seeing this. Fortunate enough to see Bowie before he passed away. I wasn't really a fan of his until that night. He changed everything about what I thought of him and his music. A true gentlemen, an amazing entertainer and a musician like no other. Always been a Pink Floyd fan especially Gilmore...one of my favorite songs ever written.
The way people applauded when gilmour started singing and soloing is pure magic and shows that It doesnt matter if you heard that song 100 times or if the fucking legend of Bowie is there on stage, the whole song is a legend on its own
Still crying. Always crying Bowie is up there holding up the universe and spreading his love to us all. The more you listen the more you realise there is nothing more. Nothing more but Bowie and this guitar solo from heaven.
Despite the fame he showed what a classy, down to earth guy he was by taking a few backward steps after doing his vocals and blending in to the background instead of wanting to steal the limelight. RIP
I like how Bowie further creates his own vocal rather than try to “copy” note for note the original. There’s a reason why they called him the chameleon.
+Layne Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Definitely no Roger Waters. However, I have to say that the Gilmour guitar solo in this one is one of the best ever.
How can we ever get over that nobody comes back? Even when somebody is most loved.. even wen they can save the world, their talents could have benefited millions... even wen they were unjustly killed... We made Jesus comeback though! Duh!
I'm here today remembering my friend Jerry, a devoted Pink Floyd fan. As I am a devoted Bowie fan, we both enjoyed watching and listening together. He was lost to this world this past August 27,2020. Only covid-19 was powerful enough to take my "Missouri-tough" friend down.
Absolutely love Bowie...but when David Gilmour started singing, that was it for me. His voice is so soothing and familiar to me. It's like a time warp and I'm transferred back to a wonderful time in my life. If you can, I would highly recommend listening to his solo LP from 1978...it's just stunning.
Me too, *MusicCollaborator*... (;o(* I try not to cry, but I'm overcome each time...by sadness and more sadness... May David (and Rick) float into the great wide blue, watching over us... Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock) LovePeaceMusic
Bowie brought a very different take on the melody of his verses, and by god it was amazing. very him, but still worked within the song. Properly amazing, this is a great version of the song. Thank you for sharing!
Im a Bowie and Floyd fan and I personally feel Bowie’s voice really plays brilliantly into the song itself and also still keeps that Bowie vibe to it. Incredible performance
@@terryperring104 Yeah the verses are in Bm but he's singing mostly D with a leading note of C# (compare first and second halves of the first verse). So I think it's mostly the minor third but that leads really well into the resolution to D at the start of the chorus. I just had a relisten and Roger sings it mostly based around the tonic.
@@dfrossness It's such a departure -i'm almost worried that Roger somehow prevented them singing it with the same notes as he did. It really got petty at times didnt it, so...
Ho avuto la fortuna e il privilegio di vedere King David e i Pink Floid dal vivo. Il grande Duca Bianco, Unico e Irripetibile, David Gilmour l'altra dimensione della Musica! Fantastici!
My favorite musician of all time, with my favorite band of all time, playing my favorite song of all time... WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO FIND THIS?
Bowie helped so many people/bands ( Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Mott the Hoople , etc.)it is absolutely fantastic to see him killing it with Gilmour. Loving it!
Whether he was David Jones, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack, the Thin White Duke or David Bowie, he was a true genius, one of a kind and left the world better than he found it. God bless David Bowie.
When I was a young U.S. Navy Destroyer Sailor we'd listen to the Floyd as we glided over calm Seas while sitting on the Fantail, wish I could have those days back!!
I can only imagine how that felt. I am 70 and have listened to this and all Pink Floyd music since my teens. And I really do wish I could have those days back. But that cannot happen so I can deal with old age by listening to the very best band and especially the brilliant David Gilmour.
Every time I listen to this version! Dammit, my eyes keep welling up and I dont have a fuckin' clue why. Dam that sweet guitar! RIP David Bowie, RIP Richard Wright. This version of Comfortably Numb since the first time I listened to has been one of the best renditions I've ever heard. Too many of my boyhood heroes' are flirting with twilight. "memento mori"
People miss Bowie because David , through his voice and music, he gives and gave (through live performances) many pleasure to many people, that you and me can not give ! The perspective to know him died, is the end of all that. Bowie was a great song writter, and a great and nice man.. Yes, we all die one day, but It's sad to realize that he will not sing alive again...and he died too young !
I'm hooked but only heard 40 versions of this, 🤫🎼 Don't know the basis of the tears, the joy the fears, memories so vast they'll be with me til my Last, the Mature old fan will understand, God bless You & them all, their barb's locked 4ever into my soul, , We All know , we all feel 🤗🇦🇺🖐️🎶

I concur, shows what a classy guy he was. So sad he is no longer with us.
He always did that. Bowie ....miss him. Two legends
Here you have a 40 yo guy listening to a song written in the 70's and played in the 2006 by some guys born in the 40's....never ending masterpiece
I sent it to my fifteen year old granddaughter and she sent back - LOVE 😍
I never knew that I needed to hear David Bowie sing Comfortably Numb. Until now.
Vero!!!
Same
It completely changes that part of the song, amazing
😥
He blows Roger Waters away (IMO).
As both a bowie and a Pink Floyd fan this is basically a dream come true. This was a great discovery.
Bowie teamed up with Gilmour again and played Arnold Lane
basically, was it a dream come true, was it basically, basically a basically a dream come basically true?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Not to be greedy, but a Bowie Gilmour Spaceoddity would have been amazing as well.
Same as that 2 God's on stage performing my fave PF track! ❤
Personnally, I think Bowie adds a completely new dimension to this song and it is a strike of genius that he doesn't try to replicate Waters' vocals but adds his own completely unique twist.
Ima big Bowie fan but I think his contribution detracts from the “numbing effect” of the feel of the song
@@22448824 i was thinking the same thing...it is supposed to be a dark somber experience, not to show off flashy style singing or theatrical emotions
@@tonybryan9976 well said! He makes the lyrics his own. Singing between the notes is not easy and yet it's perfectly pitched.
He made it unmistakably Bowie 💪
Bowie can sing, waters cannot.
...and suddenly, for 8 minutes, everything in the world was perfect.
Shame it is not for 18 or even 80 minutes. I listen to this masterpiece evey day when I do my exercises. And time flies by. Best version is the one in Gdansk though. May I congratulate you on your impeccable taste in music.
80% of the world will be perfect if you switch off the media for a month.
Yeah !
True !!!
@@MrElliptific switch it off permanently is my view
The way Bowie steps back during chorus only proves once again he is a pure gentleman
That's it. No ego battle here. Just two gentlemen doing what they do best.
True ❤️
He knows how important and iconic Pink Floyd are to British music, almost on par with him. He's not stupid!
Too bad he wasn't a gentleman to Stevie Ray Vaughan.
he seems to be worried or scared
Can break into tears from this, the respect from Bowie, and the guitarr from David . One of music moments that should never be forgotten!!
Comfortably Numb is not a song, is an experience.
My wife saw Pink Floyd concert in Philly in outdoor stadium, as this started it began to lightly rain ... said it was amazing & unforgettable 😎
I saw Pink Floyd in Houston and a thunderstorm hit , it was a show I will never forget either
Saw them in Earls Court London. I got to meet Gilmour and Rick Wright RIP as I’m related to Sam Brown ( Joe Browns daughter) who was one of the backing singers. Fantastic night !!
I’m an atheist but THAT was a spiritual experience !!!
Gilmour speaks and weeps through his guitar !!
Its my life.

You lucky man, I feel lucky just watching the Remember that night DVD, I once played it to some friends on holiday, no one hardly said a word for 3 hours. Wonderful.
Even though I saw Floyd in 1988(and Bowie twice), I would've loved to have seen this.
As a Floyd fan this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time. But Bowie takes it to another level. For me the definite version of a masterpiece. RIP David - still missed.
Beautifully put!
I love Bowie but I prefer gilmour voice for this
2 best Davids ever
Yes, but waters version fits better in the album context. Better for us. Now we have two different songs inside a one
Omg I love u , totally agree ❤
The guy at 6:43 deserves an award for how deeply he's feeling Gilmour's solo.
He's pinging 😂
Hey that’s where the music can take you . Respect to him
He's just methin around
He couldn't make it tonight, so here to accept the award is the guy who sold him the gelcaps.
Fucking right on!
I'm only in the first verse but Bowie's take on the vocal melody is brilliant - it sounds unmistakingly Bowie.

He’s actually back on his home Planet. Same goes for Mr. Mercury.
@@libertydogs7380But Bowie IS immortal. He's simply moved on to another plane of existence we have not reached. He will ALWAYS be here and there and all around us.
If Floyd and Bowie aren’t in my grandchildren’s textbooks next to Beethoven and Mozart, I hope I’m still around to teach them.
They won´t be. Because schools like white old man music, not the cool revolutanary music hear. Instead, teach your grandchilds yourself instead.

@@jodij6280 It wasn't, but obviously the creator of the song sings it better
Only Bowie could sing a harmony part as the melody....and it becomes the melody. Brilliant and beautiful...
Musicians like these dont die, they go back to heaven from which they'd been sent from.
The man who fell to Earth returned to his home in the heavens.
what a cork of shite you are talking Chris
The great gig in the sky...
God told me all music is from him to us. They play through him....THANK U GOD...
that just choked me up
Despite the fame he showed what a classy, down to earth guy he was by taking a few backward steps after doing his vocals and blending in to the background instead of wanting to steal the limelight. RIP
Bowie was the best of all worlds.
@@kmustacal Yes indeed.
He actually didn't need to steal anything, that's why.
@@enricomosca4674 You can always share!
I play this song very often for my late husband who had Parkinson’s disease ❤️💖❤️🎼🎸🥁🎹🎼🎭❤️
This is how he felt at the end of his life .
I love You. ...I Said To My wife " play this song At My funeral"...
So sorry to hear of your husband's passing Shirley and his illness. Words don't really don't it much justice but my thoughts are with you. X
God bless you , may your husband rest in peace ❤
Such a sweet way to retain his memory. Lots of love
Shirley Girling that’s beautiful!
I like how Bowie further creates his own vocal rather than try to “copy” note for note the original. There’s a reason why they called him the chameleon.
Absolutely right !!
A chameleon blends in with it's surroundings. David stood out from the crowd. He also never liked being called a chameleon.
3 people who disliked this video seriously have something wrong with them.
RIP Bowie
osp80 lol very true :)
Tout à fait vrai ...
Those who disliked are usually Germans terribly concerned with 'copyright issues' :-/
+jVLOGS I really didn't like his Bowie's singing style in this one, but I would never dislike a Pink Floyd song.
+Layne Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Definitely no Roger Waters. However, I have to say that the Gilmour guitar solo in this one is one of the best ever.
David always sings this song perfectly. Shit any of his songs..the man is ageless in vocals and playing ability.
You mean, Gilmour? There are (or were) two Davids here.
Texturas75 ha your right should of clarified. david gilmore
it could have applied to either one
Yes he does. He's amazing. Truly awesome.
His voice is like heaven, in the context of the song.
RIP legends Richard Wright & David Bowie.
Stay strong Dave Gilmour!
Syd Barret
there is no word to describe what feeling this song makes me feel. truly an out of body experience
We need Bowie. The world hasn't been right since he left us. xoxoxo
How can we ever get over that nobody comes back?
Even when somebody is most loved.. even wen they can save the world, their talents could have benefited millions... even wen they were unjustly killed... We made Jesus comeback though! Duh!
I agree completely. The world was better when Bowie was in it.
Bowie was the glue that held the universe together
@@lyndalbreen7690 Amen! Peace, Love & Bowie Forever! xoxo
Yes. We are fuck without him 🦠🧟♂️
I'm here today remembering my friend Jerry, a devoted Pink Floyd fan. As I am a devoted Bowie fan, we both enjoyed watching and listening together. He was lost to this world this past August 27,2020. Only covid-19 was powerful enough to take my "Missouri-tough" friend down.
Condolences to you on the loss of your dear friend. A piece of him lives on in you...
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace and may you find solace
So sorry for your loss.
One of the finest songs on this planet.
With David Bowie.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
R.I.P. David, i wish that you are on a fine place.
With David B and David G. Both are my favorites.
"Without you I'm nothing" with Brian Molko is better... My subjective opinion...
He just dead.
Absolutely love Bowie...but when David Gilmour started singing, that was it for me. His voice is so soothing and familiar to me. It's like a time warp and I'm transferred back to a wonderful time in my life. If you can, I would highly recommend listening to his solo LP from 1978...it's just stunning.
Gilmour's voice is so soothing, Bowie's voice is like nails on chalkboard.
We missing You, Mr. Bowie!
super très grand merci pour David mais je ne vois pas trop le rapport avec lui, j'ai quand même apprécié
+Adrien Tsebrjinsky le chanteur au début c'est David Bowie... il nous a quitté en janvier malheureusement. va ecouter sa chanson Changes..
+Adonai Gouvêa
i dont miss him, only Lemmy Kilmister.
you're loss
+Fussel fresser YOU ARE CRAZY AND HAVE NO TASTE!!!!!!
I long for the day when I can listen/watch David Bowie without an intense pain consuming me. I miss him beyond words.
So do I :(
Me too, *MusicCollaborator*... (;o(* I try not to cry, but I'm overcome each time...by sadness and more sadness...
May David (and Rick) float into the great wide blue, watching over us...

Luckily when musicians die, they don't die. They just change rifs. Rest In Fret, we won't forget, ain't another like you, come along quite yet.

The body may die but the legend lives on - just enjoy it................
I actually cried at the end. Never again will there be anything so musically epic.
I miss David very much as well. Thank you for posting this.
Also in memory of Mr. Richard Wright, playing also this fantastic music.
How is it possibl? Every time i see David, i start to cry. The pain of his loss doesn't shrink. I still love you angel, shining soul.
That is fucking creepy dude. You need to get help.
I understand you. I feel the same specially this performance
Imagine if the sun went out. That's what it's like living in a post-Bowie world.
@@bigneon_glitter absolutely😔
Darksoul _Jones He lives in our hearts and our memories he will never be forgotten ! These two legends are without a doubt two of my favorites.....
My therapist told me I have to practice 'Gratitude Therapy'. What a great place to start 🙏🏻❤️
This performance took this song to another level
Gilmour's guitar and Bowie's voice was a mix made in heaven!
Bowie brought a very different take on the melody of his verses, and by god it was amazing. very him, but still worked within the song. Properly amazing, this is a great version of the song. Thank you for sharing!
I think hes singing the harmony line if I'm not mistaken. I love it though.
Im a Bowie and Floyd fan and I personally feel Bowie’s voice really plays brilliantly into the song itself and also still keeps that Bowie vibe to it. Incredible performance
Its in B minor and he is singing (mostly) a C# which makes it more of a B-add9th. Very unusual Any musos out there concur?
@@terryperring104 Yeah the verses are in Bm but he's singing mostly D with a leading note of C# (compare first and second halves of the first verse). So I think it's mostly the minor third but that leads really well into the resolution to D at the start of the chorus. I just had a relisten and Roger sings it mostly based around the tonic.
@@dfrossness It's such a departure -i'm almost worried that Roger somehow prevented them singing it with the same notes as he did. It really got petty at times didnt it, so...
Ho avuto la fortuna e il privilegio di vedere King David e i Pink Floid dal vivo. Il grande Duca Bianco, Unico e Irripetibile, David Gilmour l'altra dimensione della Musica! Fantastici!
"Come on it's time to go"...as Bowie backs away from the mic. A poignant, beautiful moment.
The soul has no eyes.
I pity those who cannot hear how magnificent Bowie's contribution is.
the fact that you pity them rather than wanting to try and explain said magnificence is pretty sad
@Nick C i mean it’s not that bad he just sing like that
Magnificent? Bowie? lol!
My favorite musician of all time, with my favorite band of all time, playing my favorite song of all time... WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO FIND THIS?
Same reaction ;)
I'm glad you found it, just the same.
You don't find it, it finds you :-)
Don't be so hard yourself love. You found it when you needed it .
Brilliant. Bowie, absolute legend but something about Gilmour's voice is transcendent, ethereal, no words can describe.
Well said!
But I am glad you described it.
@@MD-ru5vs Ha! I try.
Bowie helped so many people/bands ( Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Mott the Hoople , etc.)it is absolutely fantastic to see him killing it with Gilmour. Loving it!
One of the greatest songs ever - bar none!!!!!!
Ian Oliver b bjgg -@@@$-¥{![]
And agreed again!!!
definitely one of my desert island discs
timeless
Ian Oliver
Agreed, then anything David Gilmour touches is epic!!
Whether he was David Jones, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack, the Thin White Duke or David Bowie, he was a true genius, one of a kind and left the world better than he found it. God bless David Bowie.
He was none other than the spaceman
I never get tired of listening to this song
Same here 💖
One of the best songs ever written. David's voice still makes me cry. Thanks David & David for this beautiful rendition of "Comfortably Numb".
Don't forget rogo
This tune never gets old. But Bowies on vocals. Just listened to that 6 times in a loop
Hell yes!
It was a good thing that David Bowie got to play with the greatest band in the world
Chuck Capien
Well we all have our own opinions
It was a good thing that Pink Floyd got to play with the greatest artist in the world.
Well expressed.
This rendition of Comfortably numb is out of this world. David is spot on. David Bowie’s voice sent this to whole new level.
what a gem I just found here, this is absolute bliss
...and so sad, at the same time
+Newcastle so true........
"Boy, how he played guitar"! great performace of Bowie, Gilmor and Wright. Unforgettable
joão carvalho
When I was a young U.S. Navy Destroyer Sailor we'd listen to the Floyd as we glided over calm Seas while sitting on the Fantail, wish I could have those days back!!
I can only imagine how that felt. I am 70 and have listened to this and all Pink Floyd music since my teens. And I really do wish I could have those days back. But that cannot happen so I can deal with old age by listening to the very best band and especially the brilliant David Gilmour.
@@mikewilliams3384 Amen !!
Brilliant! RIP Rick Wright. RIP Starman. 🎵🎶❤️❤️
Every time I listen to this version! Dammit, my eyes keep welling up and I dont have a fuckin' clue why. Dam that sweet guitar!
RIP David Bowie, RIP Richard Wright. This version of Comfortably Numb since the first time I listened to has been one of the best renditions I've ever heard.
Too many of my boyhood heroes' are flirting with twilight. "memento mori"
It's David Bowie, who raised this masterpiece to the stars. Miss him to the end of my life...
Loved all your music David Bowie, rest in Peace
Pinky Floyd Love your profile picture.
What a pity! Only about a dozen real fans there (dancing to this music) - and all the others glued to their seats. I wish I were there! 😢
R.I.P. David Bowie.
+StanMark yes rip starman xx
Isn't that the truth....Miss him so much!
💜BOWIE💕👏 FOREVER
People miss Bowie because David , through his voice and music, he gives and gave (through live performances) many pleasure to many people, that you and me can not give ! The perspective to know him died, is the end of all that. Bowie was a great song writter, and a great and nice man.. Yes, we all die one day, but It's sad to realize that he will not sing alive again...and he died too young !
Very well put. Couldn't agree more..............
I have watched Gilmour play this song so many times but I think having Bowie on stage made him play with even more intensity. So great!
David Bowie really turned this into even more gold. Class act.
Two legends. That’s awesome.!!!
Rick Wright... fucking mega part of the Floyd and not long left on this planet at the time this was recorded xx
Rick's work is huge. It would not be Floyd without him
youandwhosearmy?
youandwhosearmy?
It would not be Floyd without any of them. Rick sure was awesome though! RIP buddy.
youandwhosearmy? Floyd was more than Gilmour and Waters yeah man!!!!
The late Great David Bowie.What a class act
No words to describe this other than a holy, soul moving & spiritual performance.
THE best guitar solo of all time.
RIP Rick Wright & David Bowie
I love what everyone says about the song THE SONG It has the power to take me to the edge
.. STILL
Gooosbumps music. Thanks dad up i heaven to let me hear real music when I was growing up. You made me a Bowie, Floyd and Queen fan.
David gives it that eerie, poignant, gloomy, haunting, macabre, Tim Burton-esque vibe. Unique and wonderful.
It is interesting that people either love or hate Bowie's contribution. It is of course brilliant.
It's 2020 and I've only just found this gem - tears in my eyes, gotta listen to this again - thanks! So beautiful!!! ❤
@calmblueocean listen to their other songs aswell
Just take your time surfing albums theyr Gods of Music and feelings
@@elementalthief7808 yes! ✌
Same. Dec 25. My kids just left. I'm tired, I'm happy, I'm alive and embracing every tear that comes with this music ❤
Same here. Found it in the Beginning of 2020. Crazy isn't it.
I'm hooked but only heard 40 versions of this, 🤫🎼 Don't know the basis of the tears, the joy the fears, memories so vast they'll be with me til my Last, the Mature old fan will understand, God bless You & them all, their barb's locked 4ever into my soul, , We All know , we all feel 🤗🇦🇺🖐️🎶
I always come back to this video just to see the bold guy dancing. I strongly believe that his my own very soul, out there, dancing to world
