I had never heard this song until watching this concert on AXS tv one night. Wow! When he kicked in with that Tele I became mesmerized. What an epic solo. Kept rewinding on my DVR and replaying.
I love this song, to me it is so evocative of a warm relaxing summer evening, I can imagine being outsider on the grass with my friends and family, watching the sun go down, while the birds are singing. I can almost smell the warm grass and dust and flowers and feel the breeze. There would be that moment when no one is talking, but not because no one has anything to say, but nothing needs to be said, we are comfortable and relaxed in our silence and the world around us.
Ooh. Bold statement. It definitely has a lot of competition (On the Turning Away, dozens of Comfortably Numb solos, Echos, etc...) it's definitely in the running, though.
Mr Sun sure is popular, worship is going strong today (Smithsonian emblem etc), we still dont know what she is a made of, just like Lightning is not known, to say in vacuum space you can see It as all direct emitting light. Love psychedelic !
live 8 solo of Numb and this one...Echoes from Gdansk, acoustic version from Meltdown concert of a "Shine on you..." , well...completely out of this world!!!!
My cover version of this brilliant song Pink Flolk performs cover of "Fat Old Sun" by Pin…: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mn-O06ojUlI.html
Gilmour wouldn't have written the stairway solo Because gilmour knows how to play a REAL solo. Comfortably numb time money have a cigar echoes shine on fat old sun. The list goes on and on. Jimmys list is stairway. And stairway isnt that good of a solo.
