The greatest pleasure for any guitarist, In my opinion, is to play this song

[@doge6728]

absolutly 👍

[@TheXopony]

And do it so well.

[@rubaiofficial850]

Indeed so......

[@sagarchawla8145]

It's even a greater responsibility !

[@sigitnurwicaksono]

pleaseur and preassure

[@cokeandtwirl]

I hate the term 'covers band' - do we call the greatest orchestras in the classical world 'covers orchestras' because they perform music written by other people? No, of course not! We are going to need musicians like the Classic Rock Show to keep alive the fantastic rock and popular music written and performed in the second half of the twentieth century and right on up to today. A few of the great bands can still perform live but soon the original artists will be gone, and thank God there are brilliant musicians and producers/arrangers who can still bring the thrill of live classic rock to old and new audiences. Thank you guys and girls!

[@paulvaultguy]

They are paying tribute to all the greatest songs created in the great rock and roll era, and doing a damn fine job of it!!! And they are bringing great music to their younger generation as well. I love em!

[@georgelangley8444]

I disagree but I still love em

[@NPJohn100]

cokeandtwirl very good points and I absolutely agree with you. These guys are superb musicians and if we love our rock then we need them to keep doing what they do.

[@NPJohn100]

I think this is possibly the only guitar solo that I know of which I would label as emotional. It seems to get me in the very core of my being every time I hear it. CRS do a great job of it.

[@dasboot5903]

*Definitely .... I must agree with you 100% !!!!* Thanks to all of those musicians from all over the World, who are playing LIVE on stage all that great XXth Century classics with their own spirit .... the great music will stay ALIVE to the upcoming generations !!!! Thanks God it will !!!! Amen.

[@joeryan3390]

This last solo was the greatest mix of all the Gilmour live versions of this song. He picked key parts and put them where he (excuse the pun) comfortably wanted them to be. Stellar performance

[@JayWater]

That was the pulse version note for note but he excluded the dive bombs

[@DDDquick]

I think the Pulse CD one was a mix of several different performances. It´s a brilliant record but there was a lot of post production work done on it@@JayWater

[@dannycrennell1487]

Yeah him not including the dive bombs bothered me@@JayWater

[@steamalan627]

Not enough praise on here for James Cole, a superb guitarist, he nails every solo.

[@vasilisladopoulos8718]

[@thedukeofmulberry]

There are some songs which reach the level of "holy" in my opinion, and Comfortably Numb is one of them. The Classic Rock Show did an exceptional version of this song. Thanks guys.

[@glenchapman3899]

I think this song goes so far beyond mere holy. It cuts all the way to the core of the human experience. And the songs that have managed that over the last three hundred years is extremely short list.

[@JohnnyTorontoEh]

Not many rock tunes bring me to tears but this one does! If you can't feel this in your soul you might want to check for a pulse.

[@SgtM0le]

I saw them live in Salford just before the world went weird. Even now when the song comes on the radio I remember the lights and laser show from this gig. It was amazing!

[@ingvaldkarlsson5270]

A bit late, but here goes.. What other songs have made it to your list of holy songs?

[@anish10242]

I hope this bands stays for even more longer and the upcoming bands too keep the classics alive. Imagine in another 20 to 30 years if classics are fading away and the crap that's out now will be called as "classic", oh my goodness I can't take that shit. I'm just 28 and I love the classics, I want bands like this when I hit 50s to enjoy some good live music.

[@juicy5816]

That end solo was a master class, holy fuck. What a player, I can’t believe what I’ve just heard

Hats off to the Classic Rock Show. As an old bugger of 68 I grew up with Pink Floyd and it makes me so happy to see that the younger generation loves the music that I did all those years ago and still do. Mind you, as they say, you're only as young as the one you're feeling😎!!

[@garysherman953]

I am 74, graduated in 1967 in California and I have seen and heard a lot of rock in person but this group is amazing. There is only one thing wrong with this .....I wasn't there!!

[@redjohn201]

I wasn't at this one but i was at the Sage....Its as good as it sounds.

[@kushalkhadka6517]

This band is gold for this time and generation. Also, thanks to the sound engineer. What a mix!

[@simonbellamy67]

That guitar 2nd solo is so so close to the original tone, goosebumps.

[@jamesroberts158]

It's one thing to nail the studio solo, to nail the Pulse version is just magical. Well done sir.

James Cole is the Master guitarist, he knows it, I know it.

[@johnwalker3620]

James Cole never fails to blow me away on his guitar abilities. Keep on rockin it guys!

[@paulwestcott6798]

For as long as I have followed the band which is a few years now he has always been Mr dependable never putting a foot wrong but for whatever reason he has upped his game this year fighting for stage space which has been great to watch as it adds to the energy coming off the stage in fact the whole band has notched it up a gear which has been brilliant to watch. Superb guitarist and long may it continue. Rock on

[@redjohn201]

He also produces and basically runs everything, he's a really cool guy too.

[@josepg.2479]

I have a friend of mine who once said "what an ugly song" because he didn't like the way it is singing; I didn't wasted time trying to explain him why this song has to be sang as they do, time talks instead, more than 40 years later be written, this one keeps being one of the best moments in music history.

[@geetarbube]

Our man, Pete Thorn! 🤘🏼

[@steamalan627]

geetarbube And James Cole, both nailed it.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

Since it’s common agreed knowledge that the Pulse solo for CN is the best guitar solo of all time, I’m proud of James for tackling that version and taking select parts from it. Absolute perfection

[@jameshowland7393]

I'm still stunned...... It was amazing.

[@ampzamp]

This is the pulse version, and it is impeccably performed to a classically trained level.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

The guy with the acoustic guitar has an amazing smooth voice. Absolutely love it when he does the chorus

[@xts_eddy9527]

Its a lady

[@mikerayco]

I just learned that James Cole is also a racing driver. Talented bloke.

[@keithlegge6848]

And he plays a red stratocaster, like Hank Marvin.

[@steamalan627]

Hope the dvd comes out, be a while before we get to see this cracking band again.

[@jasperjohnson5898]

The best guitar rendition of a David Gilmore anthem if I ever did hear one! 👏👏👏👏

[@bluesportsgaming9836]

The solo at 2:18 nailed that so good one of the best of this song I’ve ever heard

[@101wut2]

Yep, the first solo in this song is criminally underrated, and he absolutely nailed it in this cover. The juxtaposition of the two "light" and "dark" solos in this song is a pivotal moment in the Wall album, cementing the Pink character's transition into a drug-addled, fascist maniac. Yes, the second solo is incredible, but it's meaningless without the contrast of the first! Absolutely flawless cover in all respects here though!

[@MrHristoB]

That's it guys, keep these timeless songs alive!!!! Absolute MAGIC!!!!! Loved the lead guitar, the man did not copy the solo but rather made his own improvisation and did it BRILLIANTLY!!!

[@cossie1022]

I was sat front row for this performance and being a massive Floyd fan, this was the highlight of the night for me. I know Pete is a phenomenal guitarist but James can mix it with the best of them 👍🏻

[@godwinmanuel6963]

Pure sonic gold!!! This beautiful guitar solo helps us know you don't need lightning fast fingers to sound awesome.

[@juancricco7249]

Absolutely magnificent… what a refined and wonderful version. The sounds, the subtle arrangements, voices, epic guitars… mind blowing. Excellent, guys. You’re so talented.

[@mzaferer]

Holy moly. The pulse solo was spectacular...

[@davidrussell8918]

This is the best non P F version of this ive ever heard. Pete you must have been having a blast playing with these guys. Hope to hear more.

[@davethompson2881]

The only thing missing is a huge opening glitterball/flower and the odd laser or two during the outro lead. Incredible note-for-note - both guitarists amazing players.

[@WesleyQuint]

true but its not a bad version i dont like the pulse version the solo doesnt sound right to me but i got three other versions that i like much the first one is pompeii 2016 the second one is delicate sound of thunder and the last one is he played on colombian valcano apeal disaster in 1986 ps every buddy has his on opinion and good luck listening this one

[@Hyttelus]

It's also missing the squealing part, if it's supposed to be a Pulse cover, which it sounds like it is. Listen to the transition at 7:50. Kind of a shame if you ask me.

[@1968cdc1]

Are you freaking kidding me!? I just commented on the Stairway to Heaven clip and now this!? I’m going to bed and tomorrow and when I wake up this will all have been a dream. There is no way there is a group of musicians out there with enough artistic merit and gravitas to boldly stand there and play legendary tracks like this so exquisitely. When I wake up I hope it’s still here because holy shit, the world needs these guys and gals.
