In this #masterpiecefriday edition of #thedailydoug, I'm releasing my reaction to the studio version of Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. This song is firmly in my top five guitar-god tracks of all time, and it's about time that this classic recording (in context) makes its way to my channel. The reaction was filmed back in November of 2022 as part of a full album reaction that is still available on my Patreon. I hope you enjoy!

Hi Doug, I just read a comment a couple of days ago about David's Guitar playing. It said: There are dozents of Shredders that are able to play about 250 notes in less than 20 seconds meaning nothing. David is playing less than 20 notes in more than 250 seconds, but every single note means something.

@silviolutti1522 Год назад

I have always maintained that the best version of comfortably numb and the best version of the ending solo is the original studio album version of the wall. It's simply magical and unattainable, there's not a single note out of place, there's not a single note more than there should be, and David Gilmour goes on like a runaway train that no one could ever stop. Greetings from Italy and congratulations for the channel.

@MaeveWalkerOrchestre Год назад

I agree. I usually prefer Pink Floyd live, available in bootlegs and many cleaned-up version in the Early Years box sets. But there are a couple of tracks that are simply perfect in their studio versions. "Time" is one of them, and "Comfortably Numb", of course. That first guitar solo made me learn to play electric guitar back in the days. Not just the notes - thougn as you said, nothing is out of place or out of rythm - but the tone, the very sound of the guitar through the fx rig and the amp! And the production is top notch, as is always the case with the band! Great song, and great track!

@@ChuckBeachNut ~ (Apologies for long response) The studio version of "Biding My Time" has Gilmour playing blues; It's good. "Love Scene, Version 6" from Zabriskie Point is also Gilmour playing blues. Again, very good. The various parts of "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond" have some really good blues playing. Zero complaints. "(They Call It) Stormy Monday" from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers is masterful. "Steppin' Out," by the Bluesbreakers as well, is also _killer_ blues. "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" by Derek and The Dominoes is on fire, as is "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" I'm a long time Floyd fan; I like Gilmour as much as anyone, but the tracks I mentioned here are scorchers, where Gilmour's blues playing is pleasantly competent. I won't diss on Gilmour; I understand your appreciation of him; this reply is to show what I mean when I say they are both masters of their fields, but as a blues player, Clapton scorches, while Gilmour keeps the room at a comfortable temperature. 🤓(Face means I'm kind of a nerd, XD)

This PEAK top shelf Floyd. Lyrically and musically stellar. It transcends the album it's apart of and easily stands on its own as a piece of classic art.

@nectarinedreams7208 Год назад

I think it works far better in the context of the album. Imo, unlike Pink Floyd at their absolute best, Comfortably Numb feels of its time, and it's very straightforward compositionally. Echoes, Time, Us and Them, Shine On, Wish You Were Here, Dogs, Pigs, Sheep, these are utterly timeless. Comfortably Numb is great, but peak Floyd it is not.

I sat in my dorm room on the 24th floor listening and staring out into a cold December night sky. When this song began, I was stunned and transfixed by its simple beauty. As the 3rd side ended, I did not move for a long time as if I was comfortably numb. Very few musical compositions can evoke such strong emotions and Comfortably Numb is certainly on that list. I think I listened to it a few more times before moving on to side 4.

I heard The Wall about 2 weeks after the release in Austria, me being 19 then. It was just fucking, bloody mind-blowing. I was in London shortly after the film came into the cinemas and yes: first the music then the visuals, I had troubles copying what happened. Saw the film 3 times in a row ! Years later, around 1997, I had lost focus on Pink Floyd, I got a copy of Pulse. Apart from all of those fantastic other titles they played, it was Comfortably Numb which blew me away again, also because of that wonderful lightshow. Since then I've seen that video roughly about 1000 times, heard the audio another 500 times more and when I'm down or tired there is no better way than that goddamn fantastic musical nirwana which lifts me up. So that's my story to that and I think there are many others out ther, who can connect to this feeling. Thanks for reading !😊🙃

@FinnAstraeus 9 месяцев назад

I am also a massive Pink Floyd fan of their concept albums. They are masterpieces! And Gilmore is unlike anyone else in rock, I think. A fantastic, underrated guitar player. I think, as speed is often a measuring Stick for greatness, but speed, albeit an impressive technical skill/ability with it’s own merit, can be one dimensional. Music evokes a reaction for the listener, and it’s that reaction for which I think a musician is best Measured. Gilmore was able to compose melody’s perfectly suited for their context (something in and of itself that Pink Floyd amazingly were able to produce). His melody’s provide an experience and a story or journey. To be able to put notes in a combination that evokes a powerful experience/reaction for listeners is extremely hard to do, but Gilmore consistently nailed it throughout his career unlike anyone else. He has many masterpiece solo’s. He is a guitar master!

Roger may have been talking about a particular experience, but it translates to the milieu of our the daily-life frustration of going through the exertions of our lives day by day, however weighty it seems at the time, but bearing little to no fruit for our contribution to the human experience. We do what we do, thinking it's important when it's really probably not, and we become comfortably numb with our meager performances. And then the guitar solo cuts in, with its accent on the rage, sorrow, and frustration of that experience to those who have (in the words of Annie Savoy) the curse of self-awareness. It's a beautifully constructed piece of music, but for some of us, it is soul-piercing in its architecture and delivery.

I've always loved songs where you hear the personality of two or more band members coning through in the vocals. In Beatles songs like "I've Got a Feeling" and "We Can Work It Out" you can hear Lennon sections and McCartney sections. Here, you can hear distinctly edgy Waters verses and then the glorious drugged euphoria that is the Gilmour chorus. And then, of course, the impeccable guitar solo. Possibly my favourite PF song.

It is an iconic song, with an iconic solo. I was in a band once that played it and I learned from the guitar player how Gilmour constructed it. He came up with different solo phrases that he linked to the cascade of notes that you hear at 7:46, which is how he gets out of the solo or to the next solo phrase. It's a clever device that appears several times in both of the solos, which I have a feeling is an idea DG got from Eric Clapton, who used to use them in his solos as well.

@mexicocaravans7380 Год назад

I prefer the Pulse version, maybe since I was actually at that concert in 1994 and it has a distinct ending rather than a fade out. I find the guitar solo in the studio version leaves me unsatisfied and feeling I need more. There are 2 versions of the same Pulse performance on you tube. One sounds a little warmer (google comfortably numb - pulse-best). That is the one Doug used a few months back. Another version of the same performance can be found by googling "comfortably numb pulse 2019 remastered" . Same performance but that uses different footage and presents many more closeups of Gilmores playing. It really makes you realize just how much emotion, feeling and nuances he puts into his playing that makes his sound so unique, or iconic as Doug puts it. The best video fro seeing Gilmours emotion is "On the tuning away:, a performance that is a few years earlier than pulse (google the song name plus remastered 2019, for that one). Probably the best example of his solo guitar, after comfortably numb

Interestingly, the end of side 4 is the beginning of side 1, which, if played Sides 3-4 followed by Sides 1-2, you end on "Goodbye, Cruel World," which would be a suicide ending. For those who did not shell out the money for the expanded version with a lot of the material left off this album, you can hear an almost 2.5 hour version of "The Wall" over on entitled "Pink Floyd: More Bricks, Bigger Wall (An Alternative Album)" (Just Google it).

@Doug.Helvering Thx for this video - nice new intro and outro.And I thought I was late, finding Pink Floyd in the eighties. I know nearly every note they play and the words that belongs to the notes. Your explantion of what they do there is accurate as always. Other reactors on RU-vid often interrupt the music to say somethin', I think it's way better to appreciate the whole artwork as it's meant to be. It's more respectful to me. Thank you Doug from Germany, keep on doin' what you do the way you do it. Inspirated by that, I'm gonna grab my bicycle for a nightride with the THE WALL album on my ears. Bless you.

Brilliant song. Timeless guitar solo.

This is the sort of Music that is given from generation to generation. I'm thankful my Twin-Grils, aged 16, are hugh Pink Floyd fans. So I'm sure the next generation will give it to the overnext generation. 😁

Don't worry about being late to the party, Doug. This party's gonna be going on for a while.

Welcome, listening to Pink Floyd since 1973, bought my first album" The Dark Side Of The Moon"when I was in the Dutch army, and still play one album every day. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Arguably my favorite guitar solo of all time! One of my top two fav Floyd tunes, the other, Learning to Fly! Just something magical about both songs! And yes as someone else mentioned, the discipline Nick Mason used to perfection in keeping his parts simple but dynamic, matched only by the other underrated genius……..of course Sir Ringo Star!! And was it just me noticed Doug fire up a bowl……..and never even hinted a grin!!!! 😂😂

This party will never end! Let's go party!!! This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd song!

This guitar solo actually brings me to the edge of tears. Absolutely beautiful

Whoa, love the new, Jazzy, Steely Dan-ish 'It's The Daily Doug' vignette! And a great song of choice and reaction/analysis. Cheers.

Truly an epic song and the standard album version will forever be a famous masterpiece of music. I will say, the best, and most "true" to the original, cover of this song I've heard is done by Sons of Apollo from their live performance at the Roman Amphitheatre in Plovdiv in 2018

I always thought the triplets in the solos add so much to it in a subtle way.

I also had that exspirence of ballon fingers, from a high fever due to chicken pox when I was a kid. When I had heard that line, it blew me away. Amazing album, and concert.

So the lyrics/story does come from Roger. But the base of this song came from a demo David did for his first solo album. He hummed along about half of the vocal parts, so Roger took those parts and added words, and the chorus. But then of course David added the guitar solos.

@ianfortier6796 Год назад

If memory serves me correctly, which it may not, a shortened version of the chorus was included in David's demo from '78 as well. I'd have to go back and re-listen to be sure, though.

@nectarinedreams7208 Год назад

David did the chorus and the solos, Roger did the verses and all the lyrics. But Michael Kamen also deserves huge credit for piecing it all together. The orchestra is vital, too.
