HDPinkFloyd if not the best ever
The best !! The best !!
Spooky
and to you too ) thank you x
Beautiful
The way Bowie steps back during chorus only proves once again he is a pure gentleman
That's it. No ego battle here. Just two gentlemen doing what they do best.
True ❤️
He knows how important and iconic Pink Floyd are to British music, almost on par with him. He's not stupid!
Too bad he wasn't a gentleman to Stevie Ray Vaughan.
he seems to be worried or scared
Personnally, I think Bowie adds a completely new dimension to this song and it is a strike of genius that he doesn't try to replicate Waters' vocals but adds his own completely unique twist.
Ima big Bowie fan but I think his contribution detracts from the “numbing effect” of the feel of the song
@@22448824 i was thinking the same thing...it is supposed to be a dark somber experience, not to show off flashy style singing or theatrical emotions
@@tonybryan9976 well said! He makes the lyrics his own. Singing between the notes is not easy and yet it's perfectly pitched.
He made it unmistakably Bowie 💪
Bowie can sing, waters cannot.
I never knew that I needed to hear David Bowie sing Comfortably Numb. Until now.
Vero!!!
Same
It completely changes that part of the song, amazing
😥
He blows Roger Waters away (IMO).
...and suddenly, for 8 minutes, everything in the world was perfect.
Shame it is not for 18 or even 80 minutes. I listen to this masterpiece evey day when I do my exercises. And time flies by. Best version is the one in Gdansk though. May I congratulate you on your impeccable taste in music.
80% of the world will be perfect if you switch off the media for a month.
Yeah !
True !!!
@@MrElliptific switch it off permanently is my view
The way that Bowie steps back several steps after his verses, puts his hands behind his back and lowers his head when Gilmour steps forward is pure class. Two British legends, two amazing voices.
I agree
true respect
David Lloyd Yes Bowie
I concur, shows what a classy guy he was. So sad he is no longer with us.
He always did that. Bowie ....miss him. Two legends
Comfortably Numb is not a song, is an experience.
My wife saw Pink Floyd concert in Philly in outdoor stadium, as this started it began to lightly rain ... said it was amazing & unforgettable 😎
I saw Pink Floyd in Houston and a thunderstorm hit , it was a show I will never forget either
Saw them in Earls Court London. I got to meet Gilmour and Rick Wright RIP as I’m related to Sam Brown ( Joe Browns daughter) who was one of the backing singers. Fantastic night !!
I’m an atheist but THAT was a spiritual experience !!!
Gilmour speaks and weeps through his guitar !!
Its my life.
yeah. an experience of just wanting to be dead? I have nothing but endless respect and admiration for Pink Floyd but ffs I can't listen to them - even one song - without getting so freaking depressed it's scary. I'm not naturally depressed so the effect is notable. Had to give them up before I hurt myself :(
As both a bowie and a Pink Floyd fan this is basically a dream come true. This was a great discovery.
Bowie teamed up with Gilmour again and played Arnold Lane
basically, was it a dream come true, was it basically, basically a basically a dream come basically true?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Not to be greedy, but a Bowie Gilmour Spaceoddity would have been amazing as well.
Same as that 2 God's on stage performing my fave PF track! ❤
I was there in the 5th row. I cried then, I cried just now when I played it. The whole evening was very special. You knew that you were seeing stellar musicians at the peak of their powers. I think that this version of Comfortably Numb is the finest version of any rock song ever played. It is that good. I doubt that it will ever be surpassed.
Jealous…and crying
I’m crying! Pure magic!
I am well jel! Happy for you. What a TREAT!!
You lucky man, I feel lucky just watching the Remember that night DVD, I once played it to some friends on holiday, no one hardly said a word for 3 hours. Wonderful.
Even though I saw Floyd in 1988(and Bowie twice), I would've loved to have seen this.
If Floyd and Bowie aren’t in my grandchildren’s textbooks next to Beethoven and Mozart, I hope I’m still around to teach them.
They won´t be. Because schools like white old man music, not the cool revolutanary music hear. Instead, teach your grandchilds yourself instead.
I have my kids listen to it...our legacy to our children...real music
@@iammrbadguy9706 to be fair this is old white man music too lol being it was made by them
To place Pink Floyd & Bowie alongside the Greats of Classical music is plain ridiculous!!
You've got completely carried away with your love of this particular Band & why not? 😄
@@karly4186
Yeah, I thought the 'white old man' comment was abjectly stupid. I agree with you.
I'm only in the first verse but Bowie's take on the vocal melody is brilliant - it sounds unmistakingly Bowie.
I agree! Its not David Bowie ‘doing PF’ but more a real collaboration
@@charlesstein2880 one thing bowie doesnt get attention for is his ability to readopt his previous charachters in voice and mannerisms especially during some live shows.
What a loss
Dafür spielt er die Gitarre 1 A 👌
🤘😎
Amen
The guy at 6:43 deserves an award for how deeply he's feeling Gilmour's solo.
He's pinging 😂
Hey that’s where the music can take you . Respect to him
He's just methin around
He couldn't make it tonight, so here to accept the award is the guy who sold him the gelcaps.
Fucking right on!
As a Floyd fan this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time. But Bowie takes it to another level. For me the definite version of a masterpiece. RIP David - still missed.
Beautifully put!
I love Bowie but I prefer gilmour voice for this
2 best Davids ever
Yes, but waters version fits better in the album context. Better for us. Now we have two different songs inside a one
Omg I love u , totally agree ❤
The hardest part of getting old is losing those you have loved for many, many years. People I’ve known personally and those who have touched my soul through their art. I miss you Richard. I miss you Mr. Bowie. God bless!
So ist unsere Spielregel ab Geburt.....
Truer words never said✌️
@@carolrademacher7002 can only agree with these comments…marvellous song and brings back so many memories 😉
3. Miss you Mr.Wright...
So true
Bowie & Gilmour on the same stage singing and playing the best ever guitar solo, It don't get any better than these two LEGENDS.
They pack a full concert venue like no other! I'll never ever forget my love for Pink Floyd no matter how old I get. A huge fan for 43 years.
It's quite a collaboration to see and hear: One of the inventors of alternative rock (Bowie), onstage with two prog-rock icons (Gilmour and Waters).
You cannot overlook the pure musical genius that is Richard either, a classical pianist and a gift to this earth for the time he was here, god rest his soul
@@scottcharney1091 roger waters isn’t playing here… bowie is singing his lines.
@@OCMarrow D'oh! I meant to write "Rick Wright."
I’m a 53 year old artist and can’t believe nor understand why David has gone from this planet…. I truly miss him. Peace.
I agree completely about Bowie. Nothing has been the same, or "right" since Bowie passed away and into the blue skies. I feel like genuinely there was a tear in the fabric- of the world. Yes, the whole thing. The saving grace is just having songs like this, that mean so much to everyone. Me included. I can't bear how things are right now. Seems scary. Bless you. We ALL need to stick together and take care of each other. There is no other thing that is more important. My god. Beautiful song. Thanks David, David,Roger and the rest of the band, love you all. 💗💗🌹🌹
ooh yes,
I totally agree, he should have been immortal, it seems like something shifted when he died, sounds daft I know but he was truly such a genius. 7 years on and he is still so missed, such a humble, beautiful soul
I think Bowie's probably around in some star in a another galaxy playing rock 'n' roll. Bowie is eternal 💜
He’s actually back on his home Planet. Same goes for Mr. Mercury.
David Bowies version of this song is stellar.He steps back to let David Gilmour do his thing...he was the epitome of class and elegance and I miss his genius.
Bowie mondiale e assolo di chitarra tra i più belli di tutti i tempi....🎸🎸🎸🎸
I love how David Bowie show his respect to David by backing away and giving him the stage, he's a true gentleman ! RIP ZIGGY
the GREATEST!!!
A Gentleman, and one of the greatest performer.
The guy at

6:59
Come on ken we all know that he was real gentleman, RIP ziggy ❤all my love
dance because you can
"I can't explain, you would not understand." "The child is grown, the dream is gone."
Describes the pain of the human condition so perfectly.
I have become comfortably numb ✨
I always heard it like that.
Roger Waters, if he was nothing else, was a superb wordsmith.
God bless Roger for this
God bless David Gilmour for his awesome vocals!!!
Only Bowie could take such an iconic song and give it his own unique vocal interpretation. Briliant!
The best vocals and the best guitar solo I've ever heard. David Bowie and David Gilmour are two geniuses
Entièrement d'accord ! You re right !!
I wish i was there !
R.I.P Richard Wright,Syd Barret and David Bowie.
Why R.I.P? They are Immortals my friend.
Low effort
perdidonatrilha That’s right. Legends never die.
Yeah, they left diamonds for the world. Shine on.
You're right, of course. These people ......
When David plays this solo all world just disappear for me. I'm 65 and heard it 1000 times but got nothing against another thousand.
46 years, I couldn't have said it better..
53 here. Must have been 6 or so when I hard this for the first time. And it's every bit as powerfull as the first time.
I’m 35 and most drunken nights lose myself in gilmours solo
@@markymarkg7826 Better not be drunk too often: brain damage will make you lose appreciation for this masterpiece.
Best guitar solo ever! 👍
Bowie was pure class - he knew how to step back on not hog the limelight and let others make their contributions. ❤
Well said.
Can break into tears from this, the respect from Bowie, and the guitarr from David . One of music moments that should never be forgotten!!
3 people who disliked this video seriously have something wrong with them.
RIP Bowie
osp80 lol very true :)
Tout à fait vrai ...
Those who disliked are usually Germans terribly concerned with 'copyright issues' :-/
+jVLOGS I really didn't like his Bowie's singing style in this one, but I would never dislike a Pink Floyd song.
+Layne Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Definitely no Roger Waters. However, I have to say that the Gilmour guitar solo in this one is one of the best ever.
500 years down the road Comfortably Numb will be still getting played .Why ? because it’s a masterpiece
Как и вся музыка
Пинк Флойд.
🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Agreed. Gilmour is an absolute master of his instrument, and his music is eternal.
So So True, one of the Greatest Songs of all time.
This and hotel California
@@TheRealAamod There's a drunk in my neighborhood named Carlos but we call him Guitarlos. He sits at this bar patio on the corner trying oh so hard to woo the ladies by playing and singing Hotel California in such a mangled drunken whine that it kinda ruined that song for me.
only thing that gives me chills more than David's guitar? His voice.
His guitar wins for me.
which david
@@lemonn989 He was refering to Dave Gilmour; although David Bowie's part took me by surprise. He made it his own and didn't try to replicate Roger Waters nor did he overshadowed Gilmour.
My therapist told me I have to practice 'Gratitude Therapy'. What a great place to start 🙏🏻❤️
Hard evidence that Gilmour's voice is criminally underrated!
And in this concert Gilmoure's voice sounds a little bit weakened!
@@otto15232 well he is as old as rope now.
Being in one of the most famous bands ever, hes not underrated lol
Underrated? By who? He has always had an incredible voice! He and Roger Waters created some of the most incredible music in modern history.
@@Pauly421 I should think not! Jesus! Gilmour's vocals underrated?? That voice has soothed millions globally for decades.
The way people applauded when gilmour started singing and soloing is pure magic and shows that It doesnt matter if you heard that song 100 times or if the fucking legend of Bowie is there on stage, the whole song is a legend on its own
Bowie, Gilmour & Wright... and Comfortably Numb, with that fabulous boss guitar solo - pure magic.
I actually cried at the end. Never again will there be anything so musically epic.
Only Bowie could sing a harmony part as the melody....and it becomes the melody. Brilliant and beautiful...
David Bowie, an intellect, an outstanding artist, creator, collaborator, a genuine nice guy, he also possessed a wonderful sense of humour. The world is a poorer place for his passing. RIP David and thank you wherever you may now be.
And beautiful.
The world is richer for his having been here.
Don't mourn his passing. Celebrate his life
No mention of Gilmore
Def. in Heaven. Don't worry ...Jesus loves rock and roll
Hes in space!
How can a song I've heard a thousand times still move me to tears everytime? Because it's an absolute masterpiece... That's why.
We are all stunned by such genius!
@@robertwhiteside6194 You're absolutely right! And having David Bowie accompanying David Gilmour on stage, just makes it all the more legendary, and uniquely special.
@@thelegendinhisownmind7038 and sounding worse kinda
@@aoaoa605 peace
You're so right! Everytime I listen to it I begin to cry ... it's mysterious
I like how Bowie further creates his own vocal rather than try to “copy” note for note the original. There’s a reason why they called him the chameleon.
Absolutely right !!
A chameleon blends in with it's surroundings. David stood out from the crowd. He also never liked being called a chameleon.
Bowie. Bowie is Bowie. The only one. Everything he touches becomes pure gold. He understood everything about this masterpiece to bring it to a new dimension.
I only just found this version now. What an unexpected treat, this is now my favourite version.. is it just me or have others suddenly got a little dust in their eye and a lump in their throat listening to this....
bowie brought some different emotional approach. Less cynical, more something I can't name. just unbelievable. Now is my favourite version too
Me too
Thank you for posting this masteriece. I'd never heard this collaboration. It's now my favorite performance of this song, far and away. And yes, tears.
NO, it's certainly NOT just you!
I was able to hold it together until Bowie's second verse, then my allergies got really bad or something...
We missing You, Mr. Bowie!
super très grand merci pour David mais je ne vois pas trop le rapport avec lui, j'ai quand même apprécié
+Adrien Tsebrjinsky le chanteur au début c'est David Bowie... il nous a quitté en janvier malheureusement. va ecouter sa chanson Changes..
+Adonai Gouvêa
i dont miss him, only Lemmy Kilmister.
you're loss
+Fussel fresser YOU ARE CRAZY AND HAVE NO TASTE!!!!!!
Absolutely love Bowie...but when David Gilmour started singing, that was it for me. His voice is so soothing and familiar to me. It's like a time warp and I'm transferred back to a wonderful time in my life. If you can, I would highly recommend listening to his solo LP from 1978...it's just stunning.
Gilmour's voice is so soothing, Bowie's voice is like nails on chalkboard.
This rendition of Comfortably numb is out of this world. David is spot on. David Bowie’s voice sent this to whole new level.
Can’t believe I’m only seeing this now ,, it’s a dream they did this
Me too. Had not heard that they collaborated like this and what a perfect collaboration
Stumbled on to it by accident just now. A very happy accident.
relax you do this.
John O'Rourke I'd never seen this before either its fuckin incredible two legends and I love them both ! Floyd is without a doubt my favorite band ever.....
This is less known than some of the many versions of comfortably numb, especially Pulse. But this beats them all for 1) Bowie and 2) the second solo is somehow EVEN BETTER as it winds up to the final minute, climbing ever higher up the fret board, and Mason’s finale
God Bless David Bowie, Rick Wright, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters. These men have written, recorded and performed some of the finest music ever to grace this civilization. I love you all and could never repay you the joy and comfort you have given to me for the last 47 years.
At the end, I hope there is no pain, and they merely recede. Bowie was my hero anew earlier this year, releasing his last album the day before he left us, and leaving haunting music and video in his wake. I hope I'm that graceful and cunning when my final days are upon me.
When you think about the musical legacy, the huge, incredible body of work that those five men have left to humanity, my goodness.......
I never saw Bowie live, a huge regret... However I did see Floyd twice after Roger Waters left; at Wembley Stadium in 1988, and Earls Court (the old one, now demolished) in 1994. Both incredible experiences that will live with me till the day I die.
God Bless David Bowie, Rick Wright, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters.
....AND the one and only legendary ****Phil Manzanera**** on stage, who has been collaborating with Gilmore for the last ten years..Two of my favorite guitarist on the planet with one of my most favorite singers..
fantlou think about all the great songs these guys have created. It's probably hard enough to make one. yet these guys did it time and time again
amazing talents indeed my good friend. I saw David Bowie 11 times since i was a teenager.
Pink Floyd 8. only Eric Clapton has more ticket stubs in my "cool stuff" box
The late Great David Bowie.What a class act
Bowie's voice is incredible, I can't explain how, but it has always deeply moved me
I agree there is something absolutely unique in his voice. At its best, it conveys so much emotion.
David Bowie was great in many ways. His respect and posture when Gilmour sings is touching. RIP, master.
The contrast with Bowie's voice and Gilmore's is amazing.
Benedict Cumberbatch did this also
No one could not aquies to Gilmour.
I never knew Bowie would be so perfect for this song.
There is a performance of Bowie singing America (SImon & Garfunkel) at a 911 tribute concert . It really is very good.
to me he is to high
Bowie voice captures the psychosis and alienated feeling perfectly.
The Root Of Everything Ziggy is one of a kind he's so talented he could adapt to sing just about anything I bet he is so missed RIP David ! You were and still are one of the best ever, you are alive in our hearts and our memories !
supersabrejet how would you have preferred he sang the part? Pretty sure when Gilmour plays this song live nowadays (aka without Roger to sing the verses) the vocalist will occasionally sing it similar to how Bowie did...
Brilliant. Bowie, absolute legend but something about Gilmour's voice is transcendent, ethereal, no words can describe.
Well said!
But I am glad you described it.
@@MD-ru5vs Ha! I try.
I only discovered this unique Bowie version and have to say it’s a surreal experience to be Comfortably Numb.
Only Bowie could take someone ELSE'S Classic Song, rewrite the lead vocal melody and make it even better. ... THIS made me cry. ... THANK YOU!
Still crying. Always crying Bowie is up there holding up the universe and spreading his love to us all. The more you listen the more you realise there is nothing more. Nothing more but Bowie and this guitar solo from heaven.
Its not better lets be real.
He did so in the presence of the original writer please.
@@jo2522 It was like nails on a chalkboard until DG took over.
@@jodij6280 It wasn't, but obviously the creator of the song sings it better
We need Bowie. The world hasn't been right since he left us. xoxoxo
How can we ever get over that nobody comes back?
Even when somebody is most loved.. even wen they can save the world, their talents could have benefited millions... even wen they were unjustly killed... We made Jesus comeback though! Duh!
I agree completely. The world was better when Bowie was in it.
Bowie was the glue that held the universe together
@@lyndalbreen7690 Amen! Peace, Love & Bowie Forever! xoxo
Yes. We are fuck without him 🦠🧟♂️
When I was a young U.S. Navy Destroyer Sailor we'd listen to the Floyd as we glided over calm Seas while sitting on the Fantail, wish I could have those days back!!
I can only imagine how that felt. I am 70 and have listened to this and all Pink Floyd music since my teens. And I really do wish I could have those days back. But that cannot happen so I can deal with old age by listening to the very best band and especially the brilliant David Gilmour.
@@mikewilliams3384 Amen !!
david gilmour DOMINATES this song.... his voice his guitar... all to rogers beautiful lyrics. its fantastic.
Musicians like these dont die, they go back to heaven from which they'd been sent from.
The man who fell to Earth returned to his home in the heavens.
what a cork of shite you are talking Chris
The great gig in the sky...
God told me all music is from him to us. They play through him....THANK U GOD...
that just choked me up
WOW! Bowie and Gilmour on one stage..together... I am awestruck.
and Rick Wright...
Never forget Rick Wright
Kourosh TajAhmadi
Yep, How could I NOT have mentioned that. To me Pink Floyd is like David Bowie. There isn't an album or song that I don't like and Richard Wright was a HUGE part of the unique sound of Pink.

David Bowie is another level of artist, person, really a huge inspiration!
You'll always be special to me.
I listen to Bowie and Gilmore more than any other artists. To have them share the stage is a dream.
It’s funny, I never personally knew DB but every time I see him or hear him I feel his loss like he was a family member. R.I.P ZIGGY
same here.. ive never been able to watch his last doco all the way through to this day ive tried several times but i just cant.. :{
Gentle soul very kind, my wife tells me. Met him in Santa Cruz.
Yes, I’ve thought the same many times. His loss still hits me hard. I never met him, yet he enriched my life so much. A dear man. R.I.P.
@@charlesschwartz307 as I was reading your comment, I had never met David Bowie either this was a very excellent concert and I also like it too when David Bowie stepped back and let Gilmour take the stage. With the loss of Bowie it hits me pretty hard too knowing I miss him soooooo very much 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 it just breaks my heart that he's gone. I don't think if I can listen to this song again it just makes me miss David Bowie even more. I'm sorry if i'm crying over here I can't help it. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
R.I.P My man.
Same with me. Upon hearing the news of David Bowie's passing, I felt like I had lost a long time friend who provided the soundtrack of my teenage, young adult and adult years.
RIP legends Richard Wright & David Bowie.
Stay strong Dave Gilmour!
Syd Barret
David Bowie et David Gilmour, que du bonheur. Deux immenses artistes qui m'ont fait aimer la vraie musique . Paix à ton âme David Bowie,
Those lucky people who saw it live I've seen both of them but man it must have been a show to see, they were the soundtrack to my youth.
I pity those who cannot hear how magnificent Bowie's contribution is.
the fact that you pity them rather than wanting to try and explain said magnificence is pretty sad
@Nick C i mean it’s not that bad he just sing like that
Magnificent? Bowie? lol!
Also in memory of Mr. Richard Wright, playing also this fantastic music.
there is no word to describe what feeling this song makes me feel. truly an out of body experience
This is the pinnacle of music, two absolute legends and a legendary song with a uniquely fabulous interpretation by DB. It just can't get better than this, ever.
"Come on it's time to go"...as Bowie backs away from the mic. A poignant, beautiful moment.
The soul has no eyes.
Despite the fame he showed what a classy, down to earth guy he was by taking a few backward steps after doing his vocals and blending in to the background instead of wanting to steal the limelight. RIP
Bowie was the best of all worlds.
@@kmustacal Yes indeed.
He actually didn't need to steal anything, that's why.
@@enricomosca4674 You can always share!
I must've listened to this song on CD for a hundred times... Still this live version leaves me speechless. Wish I were there!!
I've just discovered this. Wow, such legends together. I never thought I'd ever see Bowie do Floyd. I'm so glad I did. His voice really works for this track.
It's David Bowie, who raised this masterpiece to the stars. Miss him to the end of my life...
I'm here today remembering my friend Jerry, a devoted Pink Floyd fan. As I am a devoted Bowie fan, we both enjoyed watching and listening together. He was lost to this world this past August 27,2020. Only covid-19 was powerful enough to take my "Missouri-tough" friend down.
Condolences to you on the loss of your dear friend. A piece of him lives on in you...
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace and may you find solace
So sorry for your loss.
This performance took this song to another level
Wow. I was very skeptical coming into this, but God damn, Bowie gave this song a different edge that gave me chills. Bravo
Gilmour's guitar and Bowie's voice was a mix made in heaven!
Just imagine the pure genius we could've witnessed if David Bowie and Pink Floyd collaborated on an album back in the 70's-80's.
amazing seperate. Rubbish together. Different sounds.
I bet they all fed off each other , this is more predominantly seen in the group's that are having hits today . They sound like D Bowie !
Yeah it would have been terrible. Both of them were still carving their distinctive sounds
Timothy Cole what? No, pink floyd’s sound was born right around echoes/dark side of the moon. They even said that themselves
By the late 70s, Pink Floyd were barely collaborating with each other, let alone anyone else.
Mind blowing performance
Somewhat recently (2 years, maybe?) realized just what a beautiful song this is; the more I listen, the more invested I get, the more I feel it in my soul. They did so well.
R.I.P. David Bowie.
+StanMark yes rip starman xx
Isn't that the truth....Miss him so much!
💜BOWIE💕👏 FOREVER
People miss Bowie because David , through his voice and music, he gives and gave (through live performances) many pleasure to many people, that you and me can not give ! The perspective to know him died, is the end of all that. Bowie was a great song writter, and a great and nice man.. Yes, we all die one day, but It's sad to realize that he will not sing alive again...and he died too young !
Very well put. Couldn't agree more..............
David always sings this song perfectly. Shit any of his songs..the man is ageless in vocals and playing ability.
You mean, Gilmour? There are (or were) two Davids here.
Texturas75 ha your right should of clarified. david gilmore
it could have applied to either one
Yes he does. He's amazing. Truly awesome.
His voice is like heaven, in the context of the song.
What Bowie did to this song was made it is own been a fan of Pink Floyd over 40 years and this version of comfortably numb is one of the best brilliant 👏 👌 🙌 ❤ And he was a fan of Pink Floyd himself rest in peace ✌
This was amazing, I never knew David Bowie had shared the stage with any of the Floyd. This would have been cool to see earlier in time before Roger left. What a great version of the song. If time travel ever becomes commercially available for vacationing, I know I'll be going back again and again to see some of these incredible Floyd concerts.
My favorite musician of all time, with my favorite band of all time, playing my favorite song of all time... WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE ME THIS LONG TO FIND THIS?
Same reaction ;)
I'm glad you found it, just the same.
You don't find it, it finds you :-)
Don't be so hard yourself love. You found it when you needed it .
Bowie helped so many people/bands ( Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Mott the Hoople , etc.)it is absolutely fantastic to see him killing it with Gilmour. Loving it!
Someone just told me to give me a listen. How could I have missed this? It's heartbreaking beautiful. It respects the original, and gives it its own flavor.
I don't remember who said that, but it fits the situation well:
“When there is talent, it is no longer necessary to play a character, you just have to give it space.”
I have watched Gilmour play this song so many times but I think having Bowie on stage made him play with even more intensity. So great!
One of the finest songs on this planet.
With David Bowie.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
R.I.P. David, i wish that you are on a fine place.
With David B and David G. Both are my favorites.
"Without you I'm nothing" with Brian Molko is better... My subjective opinion...
He just dead.
I shall never forget Bowie. His songs are the motive of my life.❤
Wow....first time seeing this. Fortunate enough to see Bowie before he passed away. I wasn't really a fan of his until that night. He changed everything about what I thought of him and his music. A true gentlemen, an amazing entertainer and a musician like no other. Always been a Pink Floyd fan especially Gilmore...one of my favorite songs ever written.
Every time I listen to this version! Dammit, my eyes keep welling up and I dont have a fuckin' clue why. Dam that sweet guitar!
RIP David Bowie, RIP Richard Wright. This version of Comfortably Numb since the first time I listened to has been one of the best renditions I've ever heard.
Too many of my boyhood heroes' are flirting with twilight. "memento mori"
I was in that audience.
The_Parson lucky you
Djh 56 I agree!
no way! you are sooo lucky!!!
Dam i.m jealous
And I am David bowie
Got tears. Two reasons. Comfortably Numb is a kick ass song. And Mr. Bowie has left us.
it´s so true...
This song can never be played in this way ever again.
thats such a beautiful surprise. Never thought i would see bowie and pink Floyd together, really fucking awesome.
And you are Not seeing Bowie and Pink Floyd !
Best Tribute with Bowie on you tube by far
+Stealing .Pink - Also, Rick Wakeman playing "Life On Mars" on the grand piano on Jan 10, 2016. He played on the original recording. Chills.
Is this the greatest guest appearance of all times or what!
Absolutely incredible version. Bowie’s and Wright’s vocals go incredibly well together on the 2nd verse. RIP 2 legends
David Bowie looks like a rockstar.David Gilmour looks like a Geography teacher. Both rock legends
This tune never gets old. But Bowies on vocals. Just listened to that 6 times in a loop
Hell yes!
My absolute favorite version.
