Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (Recorded at Live 8)

[@brayanramiles8502]

You know what? If someday Pink Floyd gets a movie like Bohemian Rapsody, about all the highs and lows throughout all the band history, this should be the final scene

[@gabriels.carvalho4852]

I think it's too much content to put there, you know? The Queen movie went like "1970 to 1985" and they had to cram so much there, to the point that it became kinda detrimental to the movie, in my view. Imagine having to start from the Barret years (1968'ish) , all the way to this Reunion (2005). This movie would probably suck, and you can make a whole movie just about Syd Barrett, now that I think of it. But yeah, if they were to do something of the like, this should probably be the final scene. Maybe if you skip or just brush over the Gilmour years (since it was the less turbulent period) you can get straight to there, but still, it's too much content.

[@ivanschickendantz]

In fact, the plot of the Queen movie, the thing of Live Aid reunion after "a long time", looks more like Pink Floyd history than Queen

From what I've read it was Geldof getting Roger to phone Dave that was the real breakthrough. I think the cause - (fighting poverty) - was right for them all and with Waters and Geldof putting it up to him I'd say Dave realised that this was a good opportunity to put all the squabbling to bed and give the group a fitting end.

Really one of the great moments in rock, the final, arguably greatest song performed by the band as if they never stopped playing together. Really breathtaking. and Gilmour soars!

[@jorgeespinosavega8994]

Our world is billions of years old and what a privilege we have had to coincide in time with this magic of Pink Floyd.

[@marcozarattini1854]

The scene of Nick Mason throwing away his headphones says It all,PURE FEELING AND PLAYING,Just as they are:GREAT👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸

[@Sploooks]

I love how Nick lobs off his headphones so that he can hear the solo

[@kirilganchev4895]

+Lucas Wide That was amazing moment! Although the camera is not in front of him and one cannot see the lustre in his eyes by the angle, we can still feel the emotion he had during that instance. Incredible.

[@JiffyWhip]

+idontcarewhatyournameis He's listening to a click track. This song starts off very mellow. It's not a coincidence he throws them off just before the solo.

[@Sploooks]

Jiffy Whip Oh right

[@stopbunsen]

+Jiffy Whip I think he had a click track for this song because of a backing track - possibly the strings section. Maybe he thought I've got this and didn't need to hear it anymore.

[@JiffyWhip]

+Timothy Cole Yeah, and it was coincidentally the bar right before the solo. People are so retarded.

[@SurvivingTheApocalypse]

No if's, no but's, the greatest live guitar solo of all time.

No matter what anyone says about Roger, he's having the time of his life here. Probably the first Pink Floyd concert since the 60s he didn't look serious or miserable. Here he's on fire with the three best musicians he ever played with and he's loving it.

[@JoseRodriguez-ni8lg]

as a young child i remember my dad playing this music working on his trucks and whatever.. it's forever etched in my mind.. nobody will ever top pink floyd. they are legends... I truly wish Roger and David would set their differences aside and embrace their music for them and the rest of the world. you guys are truly loved....

[@CowDog-yj3ks]

David Gilmour owns this, solo is killer, one of the best live i think I've heard, and voice is beautiful.

[@777sicilia]

Yeah, the solo was good (as always) but not his best, but I agree with u his voice was great that night!

If they only could leave their egos behind. Rush is my favorite band. 3 guys that were best friends and excellent musicians. Still love PF.

[@Flossie-h8n]

Pink Floyd is still my all time fave...I seen them in 1974 in Seattle and they were back to back with Led Zeppelin !!! Me and a couple of other friends camped out for 2 days waiting for the tickets to come on sale...and when they did; they sold out in 2 and a half hours.....we were 7th in line to get our tickets.....the 70s was absolutely the best years of my life !! The best of "everything!"😊😊😊 I still have all of their music and I love listening to this day.....I love these guys and Led Zeppelin they were also phenomenal in their own wright....".the best trips ever to take and never leave the farm....if you get my drift????thank you Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelen

[@bruh8824]

It’s insane how easy David makes it seem to play the guitar

[@paulwood7798]

Just such an epic ending. You can see in places how Roger is almost overwhelmed and even admits on stage during the intro to Wish You Were Here how humbling the whole experience was. I think Roger was on a mission to bury the hatchet that day and Rick and Nick always the quiet ones still deliver impeccably and even Syd was remembered and most importantly the Fans got to see " THEE " greatest one more time. Pink Floyd

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

"I think Roger was on a mission to bury the hatchet that day" And Rick, too, putting his hand on Roger's shoulder at the end. The kind of burying the hatchet where you never hang out again, but still.

[@Astro-X]

I think Syd would have died happy knowing this performance happened

[@shaitet]

Well, he buried the hatchet with Rick, at least.

[@ItIsRan]

My favorite part is at 5:11 where you can see they move and lean together during that melodic drop in the solo. There's a reason why they all were in a band together.

[@FaithCrisisSurvivor]

The way that Nick tears off his headphones before the bridge solo says it all. He wants to hear this legend just as much as the fans.

[@Hondadctrider]

Without doubt, one of the most iconic moments in music ever, having the 4 members of Pink Floyd playing together for the last time, if only Syd had been there, even just to observe it if nothing else.

[@VisorView]

Here I am, at 66, and knowing that throughout my entire lifetime there have been very few live performances that are as polished as this one. The sound engineers did a perfect job, the guys played flawlessly. It was the performance that we all wanted to see, and full credit to all involved for making it happen. Historic is not the word.

During the beginning of the last solo, you can see Gilmour's young son wearing his black suit jacket in the audience, in front of the audience barriers. There are a number of Pink Floyd press pictures that were taken earlier that day behind stage, where Gilmour had on the jacket. Web search it around, you'll see the photo, all 4 group members are wearing the same exact outfits as they are on stage...AND...Gilmour had on the suit jacket. BCRadio

[@roytheboy1963]

Comfortably Numb is without a doubt one of the greatest guitar solos of all time played by one of the greatest guitar players of all time. This live 8 recording also happens to be one of the greatest live performances of the song, sends a shiver down my spine just hearing its magnificence!

[@MultiKamil97]

The ending is so amazing! They just come together and embrace each other after so many years of departure and quarrels!

[@propjoe1060]

You can take all the fast, "play as many notes as I can in a minute" style guitarists and throw them all off a cliff. Nobody manages to get as much emotion into a guitar solo as David Gilmour, and thats why this is the greatest guitar solo of all time.

[@katherinebennett9163]

+Propjoe10 Totally agree........

[@haythamkenway1817]

Propjoe10 Clapton comes close. Listen to his performance of 'while my guitar gently weeps' at the Concert for George.

[@propjoe1060]

Clapton is great alright but I actually think Prince's hall of fame solo is better than anything Clapton did on that track! Clapton is one of the very best though, for sure

[@marklewis6464]

It truly sounds the best when it's Pink Floyd playing it. No light show,no gimmicks ...just Pink Floyd doing what they do best.....never be another band like them.

[@IntrepidFC]

Saying that a band that at one point had more explosives than some entire nations at one show is best without ‘lights or gimmicks’ shows little you know about Pink Floyd. It’s like watching an Elvis performance and saying he had too much energy.

[@Jamsheed23]

Pink Floyd pioneered the light shows and "gimmicks". It's what made their live tours so unforgettable, that's not to say they would have been forgettable without them though.
