The solos differ every show, and there are versions of Comfortably Numb from that tour that have fantastic solos on KZbin, but likely not the version from Earl's Court that moyesboy1 is referring to. The one most fans go to as the ultimate version of the Comfortably Numb solo is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJqalKh3n6aliNU&ab_channel=idin

Truth. I’m a massive fan of The Endless River (as the name suggests) and, in my opinion, having heard all of their albums, it’s the best. Not much vocals but it’s the raw feeling and completeness that I love. I think Comfortably Numb is, Gilmour’s best performance as far as emotion right up there Marooned.

Loved this reaction! Roger Waters wrote the lyrics and said that the song is about two things. First, it's about how he felt as a child when he was sick with a high fever. It happened to him again after he'd become an adult where he went into a state of delirium and felt detached from reality. The lyrics "When I was a child I had a fever/My hands felt just like two balloons" describe exactly what he felt as a child. he says "I remember having the flu or something, an infection with a temperature of 105 and being delirious. It wasn't like the hands looked like balloons, but they looked way too big, frightening." Later in an interview at an LA radio station Waters' said a part of the song also refers to the time he had bad stomach cramps that he thought would keep him from going on. The doctor backstage gave him a shot of something he was sure could've killed an elephant and he did the show barely able to lift his hands above his knees.

This song is da bomb. Loved your reaction! The story behind this song was that bassist and one of the singers Roger waters was in a lot of pain due to an ulcer or some such and was medicated so he could perform live. He's the guy singing during the verses. The singer during the choruses ("There is no pain, you are receding, etc..." is David Gilmour, who also plays both of the awesome guitar solos in this song). Gilmour's guitar sound is truly singular.

the song isnt really about drugs tbh, the line 'when i was a child, i caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye, i turned to look but it was gone, i cannot put my finger on it now the child has grown the dream is gone, i have become comfortably numb' summarizes the meaning of the song, its about how as we get older we forget our dreams and the things that made us feel such strong emotions as a child are just a fleeting glimpse now and we all can so easily become comfortably numb.

It is. There is a lot more to it than drugs, but it is definitely about drugs too. He even said he was sick, and a doctor gave him some drug that let him help him do a show. But since he doesn't specify that in the song (of course), it goes to any drug that makes you comfortably numb, specifically needle type. And a person can take what they want from it.

Then another section about light and dark being The light are the parts that begin "When I was a child...," which Gilmour sings.

I've always thought of this song as more being about depression. It's a song my brother related to a lot when he was depressed. The idea of "the child is grown, the dream is gone". I always saw the parts that sound like drugs as being about your brain's self defence mechanisms blocking you off and building a wall around you. In the album both interpretations are pretty valid imo.

It should be known that this song is part of a bigger story. The album The Wall is a concept album, a fictional story of a boy growing to an adult named Pink. The album documents his life and living with an over protective mother, his journey in his relationships, his mental states and musical career. Comfortably Numb is set at a time where he was not well and where the doctor would give him a "pick-me-up" shot to get on with the show. The Fever and Balloon hands he mentioned as a child was Pink reverting back to that feeling. This part was inspired by Rodger Waters (the first vocalist and bassist of the band) who said it was from real experience where he once had to get a shot to go on stage one night after feeling ill and exhausted... according to popular myth. The second vocalist with the smoother voice is David Gilmour who provides all the epic guitar work for Pink Floyd.

i was lucky enough to see the Pulse tour in Vancouver BC with 80,000 other folk. 80.000 like minded souls dancing together and sharing a magical moment in time together. It was a beautiful feeling. Just one dumb, drunk mofo that got his ass stomped, the other 79,999 people were all in love with each other. Magical

NEVER get tired, after 50 years, of listening to Pink Floyd. Complete masters of the 70's classic rock and still relevant.

This song was originally titled The Doctor. The doctor is speaking to 'Pink', who is catatonic. It's his mental state, and not drug induced. He has dissociated from reality, and built a metaphorical 'Wall' around himself. That's the reason he is 'Comfortably Numb'. Pink is responding to the doctor with an internal dialogue. The drug is what the doctor gives him to perform the show.

This song is a textbook example of something I think was great about a lot of classic rock artists from back in the day. They weren't in a hurry. This song takes it's time. They don't rush through it. They don't care if it ends up being 3 minutes long or 13. And they didn't care of radio stations played their songs or not, but of course they all did and still do. One message that Pink Floyd tries to get across in a lot of their music is to embrace and enjoy life. Don't rush through it. Don't waste it. Live life. Because before you know it, it'll be over.

As many have said, make sure to do the live "Pulse" version of this song, AND the Pulse (restored and re-edited) "Sorrow". You are in for a show!!!

The best way to listen to Pink Floyd.You need to get some black lights in a dark room with a pair of old school headphones. Sit back in a beanbag chair and press play. If you get a chance watch the movie The Wall

Another of my fave classic bands and my fave song of theirs! David Gilmore rocks on that guitar! the '02 Arena live version, for me is the best...it's out there on KZbin somewhere..it's great. Gilmore's guitar solo through this brings tears to my eyes every time. He's amazing.

It' part of a concept album which is also a movie. The main character is Pink, a musician. In this scene they found him in his room after a breakdown because of stress, drugs, alcohol and psychic problems.

This song when used in the movie The Wall, was a conversation with his manager trying to wake him up from being too drugged up and trying to get him ready for a concert. His dialog are the inner thoughts going on at the time.

Two things that built a wall in Roger Waters heart for a while was the pain of losing his father at a young age in WWII and the drugs affecting the first singer in Pink Floyd Syd Barrett. This song combined his feeling in this song

This is my favorite song of all time!! I was very fortunate to be able to see them in concert 3 times. I copied this from a site named Auralcave, "In an interview released in the 80s, Waters said that much of the song comes from something that really happened one evening when, in order to allow him to perform in Philadelphia, the doctor gave him a sedative for a severe stomach ache, which had probably caused by nerves. On the stage, his hands were numb and his vision blurred, but none of this derailed the crowd, who continued to dance and sing. And it was out of this that one of the main themes of The Wall came about: the disconnect between the public and the band."
