Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb ( original members ) 

Question - Did Syd Barrett Sing, write or play guitar on Comfortably Numb ? Short answer NO. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb ( original members ) is correct ! Gilmour, Waters , Mason, and Richard Wright either Sang, Wrote , or Played on this track. Had the title said Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine with that track playing here it would have been wrong David Gilmour was not the original member that played on that song.

Gilmour's second solo is one of mankind's greatest achievements.

Just some old guys in jeans playing some of the finest music you will ever hear. No flash, no bling just pure talent.

They came out, played a short set, and showed everyone why they're arguably the greatest band that has ever existed.

One of the greatest moments in music history

2:05 Manson: "Fuck off headphones, here comes Dave's solo!"

The solo is not something you hear , it's something you feel.

Possibly the best song ever written and the solo is just from another world. These guys are living legends!

The last 3 minutes of the song are the absolute finest 3 minutes in music history. I remember, way back in the day when people had REAL stereo systems, my father would go help our friends and family set up their systems and this was the song my dad would play to make certain that the system was absolutely perfect with the true test of speaker quality, and volume, being the last 3 minutes of this song. Some of the best memories i have of my dad is us laying on the living room floor in front of the stereo and literally melting into my mom's shag carpet 🤣 i miss you dad but I'll never forget those times ❤️

Did every one else see Nick Mason throw his headphones off to listen to the solo???

The line “the child is grown, the dream is gone” is so profound.

Gilmour’s voice is absolutely beautiful. His solo on this song is absolutely mesmerizing. First time I heard it I was in tears and I had chills all over.

My dad was a big fan of PinkFloyd... i use to put his The Wall vinyl to play every single Sunday morning when i was in his house. He used to wake up and sit with me to hear the whole thing and only then we would have breakfast on a near by bakery.. i was only 9 or 10 yo. Miss you so much dad! ❤️

Let’s be thankful that the 4 of them put their differences aside for this. This being their last live performance they simply hit it out of the park!

glimours solo is enough to make a grown man cry. the absolute best there ever was. living legend

Why dont we have such soulful deep music in 21st century? Ive been listening to Pink Floyd for a couple of decades and I can keep going till my life ends. Their music is timeless - hits your soul straight! I doubt we'll have anything close ever again! Blessed to be alive n watch em play!

The best band ever. Helps me every time I'm down.

In a perfect world, the guitar solo in “Comfortably Numb” would last an hour.

This was a "Mom and Dad finally talk to each other at Xmas" moment for most Pink Floyd fans.

One of the greatest songs ever, ever. No matter what kind of music you’re in if this guitar solo doesn’t deeply touch your soul you’re not alive go see a doctor

Man if you take into account how sour the relationship between David and Roger was and still is, it's short of a miracle to see them together one last time. So sad to realise it can now never happen again, since Richard's passing as well. I just hope they can amend things one day. For their own peace.

43 years since it came out but this solo is still a timeless masterpiece in the history of mankind

When the solo is almost as long as the rest of the song but “it’s still too short and everyone wants more of it”

“There is no pain you are receding…” Lifts my soul every single listen.

This is the like of which we will never see again. No current or future band will command gigs like this with genuine raw talent.

At the hospital, when I'm suffering from a heart condition I think playing this song in my brain gave me the power to live. Thank you.

02:05-02:07 Nick: "I want to listen to the "Comfortably Numb" solo." "After all these years?" Nick: "Always."

Fifty one years old. Northeast Pennsylvania. Still crying my eyes out in joy for this song and this band.

Just makes me so proud to be British and knowing my country have given this finest music to the world ❤️

Listening to today for what would of been my husband's 70th Birthday- his all time favorite song. We saw them live several times many years ago Happy B-Day sweetheart!

Dave Gilmore NEVER plays a bad solo. Pure quality.

Gilmour's guitar solo is completely timeless.

This was my baby's brother's favorite band and song. He lost his battle of cancer at age 49 in 2020. Gilmour's second solo is an emotional one. I felt his presence in this song.

The second solo never fails to give me the chills, absolutely incredible.

Imagine 20 years later on a random day you hear this song from your kids room at full blast...

A great singer once said, “we don’t write songs for the times, we write songs that are timeless” A hundred years from now, that song comfortably numb will be just as profound as it was 40 years ago and today

Guitars were created to play this masterpiece. Whenever i listen this solo i get goosebumps. Greatest guitar solo in rock history. Period🐐!

Breaks my heart that there will never be any band this good again.

The magical chemistry between Roger and David is perfectly complemented by Richard and Nick. I love how intense Roger is when the camera pans to him during David’s parts. Who know what happened between these gentlemen, but there’s no mistaking the beautiful art they were capable of expressing through the music. I get choked up every time I see this. They are LEGENDS in every sense of the word. Right up on the Mt Rushmore of greatest bands ever!!

David and Roger shoulder to shoulder at the end had me feeling emotions. After all their squabbles they were still one on stage.

makes me very sad that performances of this magnitude will never ever happen again. Greatest guitar solo ever!

So sad to think l will leave this world and won’t have the privilege to see them playing alive!! These guys created something beyond generations.

Gilmour meant business with that last solo. 5:20 Waters and Wright in sync throwing their heads back. Goosebumps. Within that performance I often wonder whether moments of regret cross any of their minds because they must have known they nailed it.

This is music that will forever transcend through the generations long after these guys have left this earth

The artistry lasts a lifetime... thank you.

The child has grown, the dream is gone. One of the saddest yet most often felt experiences for many. But keep the child alive damnit!!

"The child is grown, the dream is gone". - One of the most iconic lines to any song in rock and roll.

This song is one the greatest compromise of talent, skill and creativity in the history of music. Pink Floyd takes you on an acoustic journey with every song as it bleeds from the previous and into the next. Like no other.

I grew up on Pink Floyd. Brings me to tears seeing them on stage together for the final time like that. I know this was a while ago but I watch this often. Greatest band ever.

This is not a solo. This is the absolute written in a rock for eternity.

As a drummer, Nick Mason did everything right. No flash, just a solid beat on perfect timing 👌

I get chills every time with Gilmour's 2nd solo... absolute master piece!

I'm sitting here crying. To think how important Pink Floyd have been in my life throughout my teenage years to now. And to see them again reunited on stage and to have all of them finish with Comfortably Numb. And knowing that this will never happen again due to Rick's passing. So epic.

I've heard this song so many times and every time David Gilmour plays that solo I get chills. That's what true music is. Something that moves you in an unexplainable way. Such an amazing treat to see these guys together here. Wow it would have been awesome to experience in person

Imagine being a backup singer and having Pink Floyd on your resume.

Who’s been back more than 10 times 🙄

i come back to this performance every once in a while just to remind myself that even despite the inner band drama, these men loved performing the songs they created together. i love that moment at 2:05 where nick mason takes off his headphones just before the first solo starts. their music means as much to the members as it does to us.

kids....this is what greatness looks like...

I'm an old man. I've heard guitarists in an era when guitarist were rock stars and in all honesty none of the could make a guitar cry like Gilmour, not even Hendrix.

No tattoos, no crazy piercings or body modifications, no crazy hair...just 5 iconic rock legends. Anyone who didn’t know them would think they were just someone else’s average grandpa. 🤘

There will NEVER be a band as Great as PINK FLOYD!

Parenting done right: When your 22 year old daughter comes for a visit, and this song is blasting from her car speakers, and she closes her eyes and sings along after parking said car

Remember watching this live, crying like fuck, knew we would never see them again...

I was blessed to see them twice. I didnt realize at the time but it was a life changing moment. The first time my wife couldn't go because of work. I called her from a pay phone from 3 rivers stadium (before cell phones) and held the phone out towards the stage next show she went too. Best guitar solo ever.

A fine moment when four ageing protagonists can put their differences aside for the better of mankind as a whole. Hats off.

2021, and I"m still listenting...

Dave Mustaine: 'David Gilmour Could Do More With One Note Than Today's Shredders Can Do With a Dozen'

Some old lads playing the finest music on planet If i had a chance to watch this concert i wouldn’t mind dying after the next minute ❤❤❤

I only recently discovered Pink Floyd & I'm so glad I did!

There is nothing like seeing Roger and David on the same stage!

If you are reading this, I hope something amazing happens to you. You deserve it. All the best, Always.

David Gilmour's solos in this song are perfection. Thankfully my brother 8yrs older than I got me addicted to Pink Floyd in the 70's . I was born in 1966. So I grew up listening to my brother's music. When ever I am in need of a uplifting moment. I put Pink Floyd on and my head phones and just go somewhere peaceful listening to them . I think everyone I know has a copy of the Wall.

Nothing will ever come close to this music

the moment mason put off the headphonee !!!!!

I was twenty metres from the stage. Second solo brought me to to tears. Amazing day all round. I'm a lucky man.

the best song of Pink Floyd with the complete line up.....

I wish I could have seen them live. How grand.

“Comfortably Numb” was my late husband’s favourite - he died as a result of Parkinson’s disease also lung cancer. A very talented man ,brilliant bricklayer, his trade . He also had a passion for Steam trains and built the cases and workings of 4 Grandfather clocks, which included a Tavern Clock (black & white) or also called an Act of Parliament Clock ❤️👍❤️ Missed so much

David Gilmour may get older but his talent is AGELESS. You hear that solo and still oh so smooth voice? What a god.

Most underrated rock band of all time.

Best music ever made came from the late 60s to the mid 70s! Talent, voice, Guitar players, drummers!!! You could feel it!

Everyone's talking about Nick taking off his headphones before the solo but Rick and Roger throwing their heads back in unison at 5:18 is just phenomenal

Still has one of the best guitar solos of all time. The emotion going through that guitar, it’s more than just a set of notes being played, it’s someone’s mind being expressed

Oh how wonderful it must have been to see something that will never be seen again

What an amazing timeless song. Being 68, I have had my whole adult life getting to enjoy pink floyd. Comfortably numb is music at its best. My first time seeing them was for Animals in Baton Rouge. They have always been my favorite band.

Even though Rogers and Gilmour don’t get along, like at all, you can’t deny that the chemistry that the two have when they play together is undeniably beautiful and superb.

4:32 Gilmour blows Hyde Park off the map... 6:10 Camera goes to Waters, he looks at Gilmour and just shakes his head... Gilmour in the zone, plays not a solo, but a piece of history through that guitar, he hits every note a human soul craves... every time he plucks one of those strings... An immortal rock God... right there... get your kids on it now and save their souls... what a legacy. Privileged. One of the best things our mortal ears will ever hear...

Perfection! it just doesn't get any better than this. Tears every time I listen to this solo remembering those I've loved and lost along lifes journey

Even with "others" joining in, the 4 that most people know , are the best to present this song. Even though Syd Barrett was an original member, he didn't last long because of his drug abuse, he and David played together for a very short period before Syd was dismissed from the band. David is such an accomplished guitarist. So glad you posted this, I watch it often. I really miss Rick though, he was such an asset to the group. These guys are my number one group ever. I listen to all kinds of music but always come back to them!! Long live the legacy of PINK FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!

The best piece of recorded music ever heard. The solo is just what every guitar player in the world wishes he created. Its not that its terribly hard, its the emotion with which he plays it. A true masterpiece.

No matter how you turn it around, Pink Floyd is and remains the greatest band of all time and Comfortably Numb has the most epic, heartbreaking and gorgeous solo of all universes.

I love it when Nick pulls off his headphones. It is obvious he wants to savor this moment

An historic moment that can never happen again. Thank God this was recorded in order for us to relive the moment!👍😊

Love it when, at 5:18, Roger and Rick both throw their heads backwards. All antagonism between them was, at least in that moment, forgotten as they worked as hard as they could to support one of the most emotional solos ever performed on a stage

Don't we all miss Richard Wright?

The day I don't cry to the second solo is the day I call myself strong

When I die, my only regret is never having been to a pink Floyd concert.. 😢

At some point, all these guys are going to pass away. I cry like a baby every time I think of that. Giants. We live in a time when the giants of rock are dying out.

Pink Floyd , no fancy rock n roll outfits , no tattoos, just good music and fine songwriting , and that solo I can listen to it even if it would last 12 hours!!

This brings me back 40 years, to when I was a kid listening to this on vinyl. This music is as amazing now as it was 44 years ago when it was released. The child is grown, but the dream is never gone! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏🏻
