David Gilmour / Bob Geldof - Comfortably Numb

MeltDown Concert 2002

[@milkwater1204]

Pink's recovered beautifully and is now sharing his new songs with the world

[@SydSimon]

Who is Pink

[@ws6652]

first version i heard was the movie, it's still awesome to see Bob singing this.

[@mountolympus9969]

I got chills listening to this. Back in 84 before I knew what a Pink Floyd was, the boarding school I attended in PA played The Wall one night and my 14 yr old brain erupted ! That weekend I immediately went to the record store and bought The Wall on Cassette and listened intently to the soundtrack on my Walkman playing it over and over . Before too long, I knew every word, every note, every image. Watching Bob sing this with David brings back a lot of memories of those days for me

[@HasanTosuncuk]

Beautiful, a calm version of c. Numb. The guitar solo Sounds like blues. Great version.

[@jamessorreda4483]

The cielo playing is beautiful and so is the lady playing it.

[@owenmccormick6147]

There's just something about a beautiful woman playing a cello!

[@Ironhandjohn]

Caroline Dale, yum...

[@ahmadfaraz3901]

owen mccormick her name ?

[@deloresgreene848]

I hope Gilmour never retires, but keeps bringing us wonderful music.

[@stevemarroquin9766]

I never looked at Jerry Seinfeld the same way again after seeing Bob Geldof for the first time

[@EfrainAndradechenko2015]

Lost brother.

[@meznivfinish6739]

Looks like Jordan Peterson to me

[@Cindrbell]

Huh????

[@Cindrbell]

Jerry???? Please explain

[@stevemarroquin9766]

He has a face like Jerry Seinfeld or I suppose Terrance Mann from the movie Critters

[@deanherbig9178]

the cello lady pulls it off incredibly

[@sstankovski]

It was the only time when David Gilmour played and sang with Pink Floyd but without Pink Floyd.

[@cristinacardenastoniotti6648]

Maravillosa canción, no me canso de escucharla, es para siempre ...

[@MaluMonte]

Um dos solos mais lindos da história do Rock!

[@jeffreykimball3028]

I love this version of this song.

[@ArseneJenga]

It’s good. Loved Bowie. LOVED Van Morrison.

[@bigdbc]

Love it. Bob deserved a crack at it. I always said for years before Live 8 in 2005 that if the Waters-Gilmour-Wright-Mason Pink Floyd would ever reunite on stage it'd have something to do with Geldof. He's a big reason why it happened & low & behold that's exactly what occurred. Geldof finally getting to sing Comfortably Numb live is a deserving award considering his part in the reunion & of course his part in the film The Wall where Comfortably Numb is 1 of the most famous scenes from the film.

[@chrisjames6327]

Bob starred in the movie version of The Wall - the screenplay written by Roger Waters. He plays Pink, and sings Comfortably Numb in the movie. That's the connection

[@laurawatters914]

I seen The Wall 3 times when first came out, what a awesome wayyyy out experience for my eyes and ears!! I love Pink Floyd ❤️

[@emreaydner638]

gold mine as always

[@annewilliams4142]

Hello Bob!

[@peterbustin2683]

Great stuff. Thanks...

[@GGG-pf3pg]

I don't care for Geldof as a person, but he did my favourite song justice as a musician. I still can't fathom why anyone would vote this down. Merry Christmas by the way :)

[@chrisjames6327]

Bob starred in the film version of The Wall, written by Roger Waters. He sings comfortably numb in the movie. That's the connection

[@lettherebegames8]

@@chrisjames6327 he doesn't actually sing it, the film uses the original album version. The only song geldof sings in the film is in the flesh.

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Phantastic

[@alphadrewaz88]

timeless

[@gunsup3198]

Caroline Dale steals the show. I can't keep my eyes off her. Simply stunning.

[@phishfearme2]

geldof is only coming thru in waves

[@WildBillHickums]

Seeing this makes me want to hear Leonard Cohen version of Comfortably numb which obviously never existed

[@biodynamicallyyours3428]

Oh wow- what a concept!!

[@Arwasi]

Hermoso!!!!!!!

[@EfrainAndradechenko2015]

Nice version.✌️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@ultramagnus5898]

2021 - Here 😋

[@marcosmorales5983]

GRANDE BOB Y DAVID.....MUSICOS.

[@mahmoud.adam.moamen]

It's the first time I see sir.Gilmour playing Ovation Guitars.

[@ajsimone274]

Mahmoud Adam that’s the guitar he wrote this song on.

[@chrisjames6327]

Bob starred in the movie version of The Wall - the screenplay written by Roger Waters. In the musical Bob sings most of the Pink Floyd songs from the album, if you're wondering what the connection is

[@scottbc31h22]

There is no one more deserving of standing next to David, or Roger, than Bob Geldof. Bob brought Pink to life.

[@lionofnaples]

Bob was also responsible for bringing Pink Floyd back together a few years later, if only for a moment.

[@SherylMarie]

💖

[@sonofnothing2816]

All these comments hating on Bob for needing the lyrics.. you guys he never liked the Wall or Floyd's music LOL. Just because he played the character Pink doesn't mean he was listening to the music in his own time

[@sikujacob4556]

Bob Geldof looks like he could be Roger Waters's brother

[@davidgrace2951]

wow

[@JTCurtisMusic]

It’s amazing that there’s no mention of Rick Wright playing keyboards - not even in this comments section…

[@axelmgs5928]

Is the video of the full concert available on youtube or somewhere on the internet ? :)

[@jamesclayton161]

Yes it's been uploaded to UTUBE

Actually I don't care if Bob is actually reading the lyrics while singing and committing some errors, both singing are pretty good

[@mauriciomaranhao729]

SHOW DAVID

[@richardkranium2944]

Kind of surprised he needed a lyric sheet.

[@angeepanjee]

I know right? What's going on there?? Kinda embarrassing. 😁

[@mr.z6776]

Is that Michael Kamen on piano?

[@backspace1062]

Bob looked uncomfortably numb

[@Thomas1190]

I think Gilmour started using an Ovation on the Animals album. Its what he used on Dogs and Pigs on the Wing 1&2 I believe. Definitely a change from his usual Martins or Gibsons lol

[@Halaberdizzle]

Thomas 1190 Roger Waters was the one who played acoustic guitar on Pigs On The Wing.

[@ajsimone274]

Thomas 1190 Gilmour wrote this song using that exact ovation. Kept the strings and tuning its in until this day. First time he probably brought it out at a show considering it was an acoustic show

[@entoine85]

too short

[@oscartavella4807]

Como se llama la violonchelista?

[@danguee1]

Nice. Not one of David's best, tbh, but still lovely. And lovely to see 'Sir' Bob there looking suitably uncomfortable (but definitely not numb).

[@marcocarini9999]

Grazie e basta

[@gurbaieboi588]

Why Bob is reading words from paper? He is Pink from "The Wall", not a guy just passing by

[@HEYitzED]

He was never a fan of Pink Floyd before doing the movie and he wasn’t after either despite befriending the band members. Understandable he doesn’t know the words.

[@sydbarret1973]

Can’t believe he’s reading lyrics from a piece of paper

[@sjpinke9665]

Why has Gelfof gone on stage with his shopping list?!?! I need to get bread, milk, butter ..... Silly me ............ He couldn't be bothered to learn the several words he had to 'sing' !!!!! Respect to Pink Floyd and zero to Geldof.

[@bobsyouruncle6900]

5:55 look at him go

[@denisbesedin9590]

Tell me please, and Bob Geldof has a band, is he a musician at all, because I've never been interested in his work and I'm a bit ashamed of it.

[@Carlitosway2369]

I thought Bob hated Pink Floyd and their lyrics? I heard he didn’t even want to be in The Wall Movie and he was asked numerous times and declined bc he didn’t like their music and mostly their lyrics lol

[@mauriciomaranhao729]

ONLY DAVID BOB NO SING

[@lymperidisioannis]

the big man is at the right corner....Roger Waters...!!!

[@kvatit]

It's bad that Bob reads on paper

[@kevinwelsh9921]

My theory as to why Roger has become such an A hole....He wanted to play the lead in THE WALL, the director said it would be better if they hired a professional actor, Instead they went with Bob Geldoff, who was not an actor, but just another singer (the Boomtown Rats)...... Roger never got over this and has been bitter ever since. Just my opinion.

[@farriskft4847]

Its a shame he was reading the lyrics.

[@unready1961]

I know. What's up wit dat?

[@farriskft4847]

@@unready1961 rule no 1 for singers: know the lyrics by heart.

[@HEYitzED]

He’s not a fan of Pink Floyd despite playing Pink in The Wall.

[@ehlerhog]

Yucky yuck yuck blech!! This SAP has to read the lyrics from a piece of paper. I totally disliked his performance in the movie and now he's still "phoning it in" with this lackluster performance. The Boomtown Rats would've faded into obscurity and most people wouldn't even know who Bob Geldof was if he didn't accept the role of Pink in the movie, and very begrudgingly too I might add.On the flipside Ido like the song "I Don't Like Mondays. That's about it folks.
