there is an older demo, the original before it become comfortable numb is from the first gilmour solo album. This demo is the demo they made after turn it on comfortable numb.
First heard on a 1992 live Radio 1 interview on the Nicky Horne show (with a stand in presenter) that first demo was brought into the studio by Gilmour. Played on a high strung guitar it was made during the sessions for the David Gilmour album in 1978, when everyone had gone home and he was alone in the studio. It was not actually on the album though. It was never released.
The music in this is not from Knebworth.Also people on here saying Floyd were awesome,were probably not even there.Floyd by their own admission were pretty crap that day.More interested in visual content rather than the acoustics.They came on far too early,this was because someone had booked the spitfire to pass in daylight,when the show was geared for nightime.If you were there then you should remember that they had to go off for about one hour so the sun could set. After saying that though, it was a great and hot day and I'm glad I went.
Este trabalho do T.D. é incrível. o primeiro com vocais e um baterista muito bom, além de composições espetaculares, rifs marcantes. Este album é um dos melhores deles.
The lyrics are haunting too: When I talk to the trees O great trees who have learned to speak slowly I know that they believe that they have an answer Then I walk in the city where I cannot hear it When I talk to the city I have already learned three answers Before I call the question And slowly, I wish myself among trees But can not hear myself wishing When I talk to the people Who are the trees that grow in the city They reply with a fond kindness, slowly But there is no answer For experience to be made by mistake Upon this key, time will slide, Beyond the lock, you lose your mind. And as our door becomes open, A rush of sound is found inside Creating dreams that pass you by. You may live through your life a long long time But you will never know from where it came, Yet all you've seen is what you've wanted to, You're walking forward as you look behind, Still watching those old memories fade and die This door is heavy, and is deeply stained, With wasted tears, that try to fight in vain, You may be sitting, feeling quite secure, But listen carefully, and this key is yours For we can lead you far beyond that door There are dangers hidden, trust in that language And it is precisely this conception that which must not be changed The epitome of our language is patterns containment of thought and sound Shouting nonsense words I die to fight!! I die to fight!! I die to fight!! Shouting nonsense words Upon this key, time will slide, Beyond each lock, you lose your mind. And as our door becomes open, A rush of sound is found inside Creating dreams that pass you by.. Bent cold sidewalk, open the gate, I may be late but I can no longer wait. Stealing the crown that stood me up, I'm laying the table with dusty plates. Bent cold sidewalk, open the gate, I may be late but I can no longer wait. Playing the god to fix your gaze, I'm holding you firm on another day. Bent cold sidewalk, open the gate, I may be late but I can no longer wait.
I heard this song a ridiculously long time ago, and the bent cold sidewalk lyric seems to have stuck with me, and been a noise in the back of my mind, even inspiring poetry. The lyrics are so mystical, so cloaked in metaphor, yet so evocative of mental imagery. I've never had access to the lyrics of the vocoded part until today, and I am not disappointed. These guys were serious visionaries, their music is still relevant in today's genre's, and incredibly fun to listen to still.
Siempre fui mas fan de Guilmour , pero se equivoco al decir que las canciones de The final cut eran flojas y no serian buenas canciones , creo que es un discazo , para ser perfecto falto la presencia de Richard wright y mas la voz de Guilmour en alguna que otra cancion.
My first Floyd live experience it was awsome what a day, I've seen Floyd many time's since this gig but to actually see them perform echoes in full on this gig was mind blowing
Tenía 17 o 18 años cuando escuché esto por primera vez. Sin drogas. Hoy tengo 60, lo disfruto como aquella primera vez e igualmente, y sin drogas. En la actualidad muchos me preguntan "¿Te drogabas?", son los que aún no pueden disfrutar de esta música. Una pena...
