I know a lot of people don't like this version but I really like it. The guitar duel on top of the cardboard wall alone makes this a classic.

I love this version with Van Morrison he did put his heart and soul into this song

Snowy White - holy moly.... thats how you play Comfortably Numb!

This had to be an amazing feat to pull off. Just getting all the high class names to contribute their voices and time. From Cindi Lauper, Van Morrison, Snowy White on guitars, (1 ) one of the lead players, Bryan Adams, Tim Curry, Oconner and many others. Dont forget the sound crew for bringing out every solo, every intricut piano pieces, acoustic guitars. All brought out front when they contributed mostly to the song in general. The 3 days it took to film even before they filmed the live version. It took a ton of work and understanding . Not to mention it was an outdoor show, so much harder to get the sounds right. There will never be anothet like it and it is beyond breath taking. I think its better than the album itsself. The only thing i would have liked to see fiferent would be the addition of David Gilmore, but for the most part Snowy had his tone pretty spot on but there is no comparison to his slow melodic lead solos with his virbrato and including his voice which is missed mostly in my total favorite song, Comfortably Numb. Still, I listen to this almostly daily and have for i couldnt tell you how long and everything about it is above standards and absolutly amazing. Rock on!!!! 1:57

I first heard this song when I was a wee lad. Van Morrison kills it here. Along with members of The Band if I'm not mistaken. ROCK ON!

Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
Okay (okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, ah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

I believe this is the best version of this song. It was in the movie the Departed. And Morrison kind of looks like Jack Nicholsons character in the movie. Awesome movie

[chwthomas]

When Roger pats the wall, I felt that.

[oskabritomotoclube]

Todas as músicas maravilhosas
Sempre estou curtindo
Muito bom

[Izzi]

First time hearing this version, I guess I’m just spoiled with DG

[JohnSmith-cytt]

Late news now...thy stoped playing ...but i tell you back at the day ....this was the band....5 shows i had and still feels like yesterday - Im 64 now ....London 1980 Earls court...I was like 20 years old and in love --And that was the start of all that P. Floyd saga i tell you - ops - Im Swedish and had to pay my way to life and music

[JoaoPaulo-fwzg]

The voice of Van Morrison was almost as good as the voice of Dave [Gilmoure].

[JacksonPM]

Should have just The Band sing instead of Van Morrison

[sebastianrojas]

Van Morrison is not good to this song 🤢🤢🤢
