David Gilmour / Roger Waters/ Nick Mason / Richard Wright
July 2, 2005 at London's Hyde Park.
(" When I say original members, yes Syd was an original member, before David Gilmour. Comfortably Numb the song has all the original members that either sang , wrote or played are the original members for this song! ") Syd did not sing , play or write for this song.
David Gilmour . "Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention, then it's going to be worthwhile."

• Pink Floyd - The Last ...
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.
Absolutely , Correct
Yeah i read a comment that said not original members, they DO NOT READ ,(Comfortably Numb ) they seem to know it all...read the info given, Your are Correct HDP
its those mr know it all s, duh it says original members , but if you could learn to read, it says Comfortably Numb , unless Barrett somehow sang , or played on this.. READ WHATS IT SAYS or go back to school, Thanks HDPinkFloyd, the best Floyd channel by FAR
Lol, Who's the dumb dumb that asked that question?
Richard Wright has not sang, wrote or played anything on this track. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Just some old guys in jeans playing some of the finest music you will ever hear. No flash, no bling just pure talent.
And that is the understatement of all time. I can't even talk about it....
Every time I watch this, I'm so sad this can never happen again. As you say, old guys in jeans with total control over their craft. Perfect.
Summed up perfectly
La creme de la creme!
I called David Gilmour as the one of the best guitarist ever
Gilmour's second solo is one of mankind's greatest achievements.
Agree. 100%
No doubt about it, the notes he hits, and more importantly holds, is brilliant.
Gilmore's voice takes me to a peaceful place 😌
Every note is perfect. It's just amazing.
Oh. I concur
They came out, played a short set, and showed everyone why they're arguably the greatest band that has ever existed.

The solo is not something you hear , it's something you feel.
Absolutely spot on! The whole of Floyds music is feeling.
It's inarguably the most legendary solo of all time. Still gives me the chills
@@JoeStroup774 I would go one step further as it will always be the most legendary and best solo ever composed. I to this day still can't grasp how it gets overlooked time and again. Its a perfect example of how 6 strings can move the soul and say things that have no words to express.
Love the way you put it. So true, I can feel it like it's so real!
Jorge Trelles So right. You said it perfectly!😎
2:05 Manson: "Fuck off headphones, here comes Dave's solo!"
Good every body 😍 can hear this
It’s Nick Mason, not Manson. Manson is dead.
I’ve come to appreciate that even more over the years
Yeah iI saw thst
"Fuck it ill do it live"
Possibly the best song ever written and the solo is just from another world. These guys are living legends!
O it’s not. Pink Floyd is great . try Beethoven.
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 ❤️
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Beautiful memory to have Dad is watching over you .
@@davidgilmour6 Honored to read your post, Sir. Best wishes and God’s blessings for you and your family.
At 83 my dad liked Floyd also. i think of him when i hear this song.. I really miss my dad a lot .Love you dad and i miss you! I'm going and cry for a while now.
Your dad was a giant! My dad was a major jazz player, and he despised rock music. I played for 40 years before I got to play Pink Floyd. Retired now, I listen to all the music I missed….over GREAT earphones at an absurd volume!
Did every one else see Nick Mason throw his headphones off to listen to the solo???
michael fountain yes cause music is music
Yes. I noticed that one to 😂
Where’s the time stamp?

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.
His solos on this song are my all time favs. You feel the song and get it by the solo alone. You can feel the sorrow in it.
The best band ever. Helps me every time I'm down.
Absolutely!!!
AMEN .
And helps me when I’m up
Always there in a time of need
And me
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!
They didn't. Gilmour, smiles aside, did not want to do this in the first place and was very annoyed at being browbeaten by Waters and Geldoff to do it. The hostility never abated. I am glad that in the end Richard Wright got his chance to do this again.
@@Azabaxe80 Gilmour did the right thing by playing.
@@Azabaxe80 I’m glad they did it! I’m still not sure exactly why they broke up. I wasn’t a real big fan back then as I am of Gilmore now. Maybe you can help me out a bit! One thing I do know; sooner or later, this happens to every band. Sad!!
@@gregorycarlson6632 I would recommend that you read Mark Blake's excellent "Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd". It's really well written and documented, and it puts everything Floyd into proper context.
@@Azabaxe80 Thank you!! I will do that! Is it a book or an article?? I just read a pretty good story on Google. Pretty sad! No wonder Gilmour seemed hesitant to join the others with their arms around each other!! Have you seen David live in Pompeii Italy?? Comfortably Numb as the closing number . Best light show I’ve ever seen; in person or on tape. Check it out if you haven’t already!! Thanks again for the info!! 😊👍
43 years since it came out but this solo is still a timeless masterpiece in the history of mankind
no arguments here
Made more epic, I do believe, by the fact a guy wrote the lyrics and another guy then composed the song. Absolute musicianship.

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
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!
This song came from a time when people did things they enjoyed because they enjoyed doing it, and shared it because they thought others would enjoy it. It was never about the fame and fortune like it is now.
We won't.......it certainly doesn't seem that way. They are mesmerizing. I wasn't born until 1969 and love them. Timeless!!!!
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”

It is like drug which makes you addicted first three note.

The line “the child is grown, the dream is gone” is so profound.
And true. So many of us who were Flower Children in the 60s became 'successful' and comfortably numb in the late 70s. As Jackson Browne also opined, ".. in the end they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings."
every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time, plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines, hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, the time is gone, the song is over....
The dream is GONE 😭!
Let thy heart fall back to its youth...
The story of too many of our lives.🤔
Guitars were created to play this masterpiece. Whenever i listen this solo i get goosebumps. Greatest guitar solo in rock history. Period🐐!
This is music that will forever transcend through the generations long after these guys have left this earth
I'm very confident that this music will be recognized in more than 200-300 years to be the best written lyrics by humans by a long shot
The second solo never fails to give me the chills, absolutely incredible.
Same here. The best solo ever. Spine tingling.

The child is grown and hopefully stays in touch with 👪 family, so important, as my Mom taught me !
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.
Согласен. Здесь очень зыбкая граница между старой классикой и струнно-клавишной музыкой конца ХХ века. По гармонии, по мелодике и ритмике, по бережному отношению к звуку это одно из лучших музыкальных произведений последних 100-150 лет. А по эмоциональному заряду - в первой пятерке точно. Какое счастье, что ребята 60-70-х оставили нам такое сокровище, как Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Chick Corea, Camel, Genesis, Focus или MM Earth Band. И какие помои пишут после 1990-го года!
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.

It takes me back. Love the feeling.

Same here at the age of almost 63!
Classical music has no expiration date
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.
They were jamming the hell out of that solo
Only for Roger. The other three have no regrets

Song gave me chills first time I heard it and 45 years later it still works thank you Pink Floyd!!
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.
Couldn’t say it better. To think how instrumental Pink Floyd have been in my life. I thank my dad for introducing me to them when I was young to taking me to two of their concerts. I’ve aged with them and what a journey it has been. There will never be another band like them.
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
Totally agree. We can be thankful to walk the earth in the times they do.
That's my peculiarity with regards to The Beatles They never give me chills, thought I reckon their masterpieces.

Very beautiful comment my friend...

Well put!
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.
I totally agree with all your words 👌
I can remember being introduced to Pink Floyd and the legendary Dark Side of The Moon.. changed my life forever ..
In a perfect world, the guitar solo in “Comfortably Numb” would last an hour.
Even more
It can. If you’re a guitar player 😊
2 hours would not do it justice... Just keep playing on and on and on...
Actually that solo will last forever. Long after we are nothing but ‘mortal remains’
It would last forever you mean
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.
These guys and Led Zeppelin are two that we as a generation of fans will never get the privilege of seeing live in all their glory, but their legacies will live on for years to come
Yes I agree. Does miss this band live. They are amazing. Absolutely amazing.
@@Mark-tu5yl in the 70s you guys had music at its best, there was a good scene in the 90s but the 70s had so much going on and there didn't seem to be so much of a 'scene' where you had to fit in it was about the music and nothing else.
Also one of my greatest disappointments in life
VC FALOU TUDO eu também tenho essa frustação de não ter assistido o PINK FLOYD me refiro ao grupo completo e não apenas 1 solo
“There is no pain you are receding…” Lifts my soul every single listen.
I wish I could have seen them live. How grand.
It's phenomenal!

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
The best moments in parenting is when you realize your kids feel the same thing when listening to pink floyd.
Excellent parenting!
That comment brought tears to my eyes
I wanna meet her xD
I envy you
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.
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. 🤘
Very well said👍
And this was all created without ProTools and Autotune!
Not even a bevy of syncopated backup dancers. They just played music. Imagine that!
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...
Pure legends that stand alone .....
wHAT a great description man!!!
The big bang exploded to answer What Can Be? This was an answer.
There is little talent like that in today's music. If it can be considered music.
I can proudly say when my son started driving and got his 1st truck, 1/2 of my cds disappeared! The Wall was one of them!

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.
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.
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
well said! That's why I love it so much. It's not just showing off virtuosity. It's actually the emotional climax.
Ashra - midnight on mars solo is better.
The best solo ever. Still gives me goosebumps after all this time. Majestic.
There is no best with music, but it sure is my favorite.
Brit floyd is much better
“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 .

The next generation is coming, that's for sure!
They'll live forever brother - in their music. It will never age.......
That's so melancholy.
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!!
I sometimes wonder how the band's albums after The Wall would have been if the band never fell apart. They made like 4 great albums back to back. They had the perfect chemistry.
@@endergamer.mp4 In truth, both are still present in The Final Cut. But their greatness was given by a perfect mix of balance between Waters' authorial skills and Gilmour's perfect technique. As well as the skill of keyboardist Richard Wright. When Waters took over the group by chasing away Richard Wright and reducing Gilmour's spaces and his fabulous solos the balance was broken and, in fact, already in The final cut they were dead.

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
It is one of the most memorable parts. The more you watch it you can see they wanted to experience the whole ambience as much as the audience. A fantastic piece of musical history. I wish I'd been there.
I'd missed this...wonderful.
But Nick leads the movement with the cymbal smash, the shot captures their heads and Nick's cymbals all in unison. I wonder how many times the three of them had done that all together over the years while Dave's solo just sears on and on. Thanks for pointing that out :)
Everyone engage with this comment so more people can see. Such an awesome moment I almost missed out on
Beautiful
I only recently discovered Pink Floyd & I'm so glad I did!
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.
Dave Gilmore NEVER plays a bad solo. Pure quality.
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
Wow I didn’t even notice that...that was amazing!

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.

I was a spectator during their final tour. I invited my neighbor to the Division Bell gig at giants stadium. I told my dad he was too old to rock. I regret it. I had a feeling, it was gone. How do u live with the decision to be with someone your own age and not your dad? He is afflicted with Parkinsonism now. Sighs. I was 20 years old. He is 78.
JT Smith sorry to hear about your father. We all make mistakes we regret, some worse than others, but at the end of the day, all we can do is learn from them and strive to be better.
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!! 🙏🏻
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
the moment mason put off the headphonee !!!!!
@Rizky Aulia, Nick: "I want to listen to the "Comfortably Numb" solo." "After all these years?" Nick: "Always."

Great insight mate,👌

Who cares lol
PERFECTLY explained Sir David's magical touch
No hay palabras para describir esta espectacular canción de Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb. Clásico por siempre
An historic moment that can never happen again. Thank God this was recorded in order for us to relive the moment!👍😊
As a drummer, Nick Mason did everything right. No flash, just a solid beat on perfect timing 👌
The fact that he removes his headphones before the first solo
@@robertbanys I know you can tell he was so into it
Right! Und einen Ferrari 250 GTO in seiner Garage. Alles Richtig gemacht!
I'm late to the party, but I noticed this a few years ago and never commented... I love how Nick Mason rips his headphones off right before the first solo, it's so great to see true talent enjoying what they were born to do!
I love how he took his headphones off right as David Gilmour started the first half of the solo. He wanted to hear all of it. Not just the track on his in ear monitor.
I love the drums on this. The whole thing is perfection. Pink Floyd is perfection!
the drums and keyboards elevate this version over most of the others
Melhor banda do mundo. Essa época foi a melhor da música na história da humanidade! 👍👍😁🌷❤️❤️
Nick Mason flicking his headset off to hear Gilmour solo one last time is pretty epic!!
@@anaestrela820 yes indeed the best musica AND era
@@anaestrela820 soy de Puerto Rico y viví en u.s.a. en la época de los 60 y 70 y la música y época era extraordinario tremenda experiencia
The artistry lasts a lifetime... thank you.
Brilliant talent, magical guitar playing, sends you to a wonderful place
David Gilmour / Roger Waters/ Nick Mason / Richard Wright when all four were playing its exceptional ! Pink Floyd died the day Richard left the planet ...., Richard, Richard, Richard ! Rest in Peace, you will never be forgotten !
Don't forget about Syd Barret, the man behind it all, who led the group in their infant years.
You mean Sid?
Michelle Reifsteck no Syd
Michelle Reifsteck its actually Syd
Pinky Floyd who is richard
Watching in 2018. Will watch this repeatedly until I die.
same here watching since 80s
Same for me, I actually lost count how many times I watched 'Comfortably Numb" on this video, goosebumps and happy tears.
Me too
There are songs and then there is Comfortably Numb. Rare one that resonates with my soul
Me too
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!!!!!!!!!!
Is true !!
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 ❤❤❤
Simply the greatest rock song ever by the greatest band.
No its not.
Its fucking good, but neither music neither band are the greastest. Solo is top 5 in history for sure. Free Bird Stairway to Heaven Highway Star Different moods, also Majestic
Subjective, to say the least; and generally not even considered close.
@@juliomartins7467 Your opinion is not fact
@@michaelmikeykellymikeydama5405 fuck off. Neither yours. But i am sure i can get a thousands of reviews that goes against the original comment (also an opinion) and disagree about Pink Floyd being the greastest band and this solo being the greastest ever. Chill out!
This is not a solo. This is the absolute written in a rock for eternity.
It was all planned by God to have David Gilmour with us
So cool to see the same guys who wrote and recorded that playing it together. One of the greatest rock tunes ever. And RIP, Mr. Wright - a class act and one of my favorite keyboardists - not so flashy, but he always played the perfect part..
A CLASSIC...hypnotized by the song each time I listen to it...too much fun...to be able to enjoy it anytime...thank you for the post!
@mikeallen2097 - Do you know what this song is actually about? Have you ever watched the MOVIE that this song belongs to? It’s about drug use during The Holocaust.
