Dear Sons of Apollo, can you please thank Mr. Bumblefoot for playing the leads to perfection and to the original spirit of the song. He didn't make it crazy odd or over-the-top, just plain and simply great. I appreciated his interpretation as well as the rest of the band. Spot on gentlemen, spot on.

[@TheEnderBand]

He didn't feel the need to sacrifice the familiar, beloved solo in order to make himself look good or anything, and that's commendable- he could easily have played totally different stuff but up to where the song would normally fade out, he did it note for note then added extra to the coda; I applaud him for his restraint and faithfulness

[@martinpaddle]

The guy has nothing to prove. And the ability and maturity to play a technically upgraded solo that remains in the spirit of the original.

Well he still added some of his own 7:32

It's about the music, not about the musician's ego, 2. the arc of suspense and phrasing in the said live version from Pink Floyd is insane, if there would be no excitement in it for him than he wouldn't understand a whole lot about music.

He’s a good player , no doubt, but Van Halen style fret wanking has no place in a Floyd solo, much as i appreciate both styles.

@@stoicsceptic8420 Stop gatekeeping. He did the same formula that Gilmour does for live performances, play the first half note for note then improvise the second half with what he feels which is exactly what Bumblefoot did here.

@@lumpy9964 I will hold my opinions, thank you very much , who are you to tell me what to think ?

@@stoicsceptic8420 Think what you want sure, but who are you to say what belongs in a Floyd solo cover?

[@paulemma8125]

I saw this first a year or so ago and hive seen it several times since. Just love everything about this, the production, the setting it’s just so cool. Can’t imagine a thumbs down.

I'm comfortably numb after this cover ❤️

This might very well be the best cover version in music history. WOW that solo was jawdropping.

I worked one of Pink floyd's original shows and I must say these guys nail it ! Keep on going and may God bless .

This song is so beautiful that any group that performs it is beautiful.

Absolutely stunning cover of one of my all time favorite songs. I always get the shivers when Pink Floyd / David Gilmour play the final guitar solo. Sons of Apollo succeeded in giving me the shivers at the same moment.

By far the best Comfortably Numb cover ever!

The version DT did with Geoff Tate during the Tribe tour was very good live

I would say Brit Floyd but this is spectacular.

[@rickfeith6372]

Brit Floyd is basically Pinky reincarnate. Saw em at an outdoor show last year with 10,000 people. PHENOMENAL. They all use Fractal Axe Fx IIs direct to front of house with a quiet stage and in ear monitors. They play to a click and pretty much create a studio environment on the stage. Their tone is immaculate, and Damien Darlington is like Gilmour Jr. Go see Brit Floyd!!

@@rickfeith6372 well said, I've seen them twice and it was unbelievable.

Perfect Version...and Performance...great style...

I go into these cover songs with skepticism and most of the time leave disappointed. This one did not disappoint! This was a treat!
