David Gilmour + David Bowie (HD) - COMFORTABLY NUMB - Royal Albert Hall, 2006

[@JaneTimmBaxter]

Bowie was a true performer; the fact that he goes into the background when Gilmour sings shows how great he was.

[@nbvw3]

His humility here is breathtaking

[@michaelcelani8325]

Once we all heard " Space Oddity" it was obvious he was way special.***

[@stevenday9687]

It really does, doesn't it? Both are legends.

[@crampoos]

Noticed that Bowie's move. Just a detail, but tells a lot indeed.

[@izbo10]

I give Bowie credit he comes out as a special guest and had to know he wasn’t gonna be the highlight of the performance and went out and did a good job.

[@KilllerWhale]

That solo is godly.

[@tsymandainga9432]

His phrasing is bluesy and tasty beyond compare!! Perfect choice of notes!!.

[@888stevenw]

Possibly Bowie's last ever public performance in the UK. Amazing stuff. R.I.P Mr David Bowie. We miss you.

[@kabband]

This was indeed David Bowies last ever live performance in the UK :(

[@MrSebbysmith]

The perfect mashup of two extraordinary legends.

[@mariosimas]

The voice of David Gilmour is magnificient !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NewSonicLight]

I've been listening to Floyd since 1969. Still get chills with this song all these years later... Never tire of a true masterpiece. Bowie was great and the 2nd lead guitar solo here is one of Gilmour's best public performances.

[@neniapasionela1640]

[@dr.debajyotibose2928]

He kind of ruins the solo

[@notyrmom5698]

That's me

[@Adronat]

Damn straight, glad David/producers gave him a tiny bit of spotlight. He's truly in the moment and enjoying it, probably reminiscing of his younger years. Keep on rocking out dude!

[@kartracer241]

I always enjoyed his enthusiasm. Even when I watched the dvd version years ago.

[@panheadchick1212]

That solo always leaves me with goosebumps and entirely speechless. Dave, you are a magnificent guitarist.

[@fernandocavalcanti9415]

And this is the best version of that solo. Gilmour never repeats it, and on this day he was especially inspired.

[@crampoos]

I'm Completely Numb after this unbelievable arrangement of the song. David's solo leaves me Completely Numb as well. This is brilliant live performance.

[@modeo92]

RIP David Bowie This is so, so sad. But your music will live on forever. Thank you for bringing so much joy to so many countless people over the decades.

[@guiltseeker]

Well said my friend... very true.

[@jaa67s]

I never get tired of listening to this song, since the first time I heard it in 1988 at the age of 16, and this for me is one of the best versions thanks to the collaboration with Bowie.

[@hasepopase]

Same with me

[@ia1530]

Because the meaning of the song is reflective of our ongoing life, always looking for a comfortably numb moment.

[@triffid65]

What a gentleman. Bowie was always the polite one and knew how to grow old gracefully. Something some of the artists of today seem to have forgotten how to.....not mentioning any names.....But his passing is putting back some decent rock in to the ears of the younger generation and hopefully that will be an inspiration to many more like him. Miss you so much Mr Starman, you never let me down. RIP

[@ChloeDust]

Bowie is an absolute legend, so deserving of that title, may he rest in peace.

[@patrickryan5570]

The singing is beautiful - the song is great - but that guitar solo at the end takes me to another dimension...

[@stephanedeschepper5447]

One of saddest day in my life..I never knew a world without David Bowie...stop to take all my guys..peace

[@weez246]

[@russianengland31]

stephane DE SCHEPPER its ok, you can see him on sky news as a record insider, talking about DB's death

[@frankarnold8520]

A masterpiece in Rock History. David took perfectly over the Spirit of this song.

[@1wannabee1]

Bowie simply takes this song to another level completely. He blends beautifully with Gilmour and the band. I like how at the end Bowie is'nt in sight. THAT is sheer utter 'respect' which you dont see from a lot of people in showbiz.

[@itsmommy100]

So true. Both Davids are such obvious gentlemen during this performance, and always. I found it very touching.

[@JoeSteelerFan]

Jesus H Christ ..... Gilmer just slays that song on the strat. I can listen to that all night long. He has one of the most distinct guitar sounds ever. It cuts down to the bone and is almost hypnotic.

[@guiltseeker]

Who is Gilmer?

[@michaelcelani8325]

Joe...thus is the best sound and performance of this i have heard...😎

[@stephencarford3666]

The level of respect on this stage is outstanding. I love Pink Floyd.....I love Bowie! It looks like Bowie feels humbled to be on stage with them. He should be.....they should be humbled too....and i'm sure they're honoured to have him with them during this show!

[@Jespervangcom]

Amazing... Look how people, sitting down is spontaneously getting up and start to dance in their own beautifull way.... You simply can't sit still for this song. I've listened to this song a thousand times since I first heard this song at a Pink Floyd concert in 1987... This is one I never ever ever ever ever ever never ever ever ever ever ever get tired off... NEVER!!!!!

[@stevenday9687]

Anyone else get goosebumps? Both these men are rock legends, geniuses even. Comfortably Numb in 2D (2 David's) & then one of the best guitar licks of all times.

[@sergiyrolling5750]

David Bowie`s vocal gave this masterpiece so much fresh colors! Thanks to him, the performance has become everlasting, incomparable!

[@ebrena1]

I bet it just thrilled Bowie to perform with David Gilmour in this video. Just the right alienation tone that Bowie lived for

[@marclawrence66]

OMG just found this piece of buried treasure. I never knew that Bowie had sung on this with DG. Best cameo I've seen of one of the greatest songs ever. Bowie actually takes this beyond 10/10. Having seen this sung live a couple of times & knowing how mind blowing DG is live & PF, to have been there to witness this would have been something to remember for the rest of your life. Imagine seeing Bowie walk out on stage. One stage, two geniuses.

Bowie the only one who could hold cred with the punk of iggy pop, yet be embraced by the prog rock fans of Floyd. Bowie bridged both genres who were in conflict of each other.

As did Eno and Roxy Music. I've noticed these are musicians often appreciated by both prog and punk fans.
