David Gilmour & David Bowie - Comfortably Numb [HD]

David Gilmour & David Bowie - Comfortably Numb - Remember that night - Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2007) (BluRay RIP)
---------------------------------
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 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's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
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 love how Bowie stayed back when Gilmour's parts came. Very respectful.

[yeahyeahno]

You get the impression Gilmour could play that solo literally forever, and never repeat a phrase. Absolute genius.

[Mega_Man]

Rest In Peace David Bowie and Richard Wright

[gabevachon]

I was fortunate to see Bowie twice in 1974. Diamond Dogs and Plastic Soul tours . Nothing ever came close since.

[JohnSmith-iyfv]

One of the best pieces of music ever written!!

[msglimmertwin]

i think this is the best Pink Floyd song for David Bowie to perform, he does it brilliantly and beautifully, and Gilmour, as always, is amazing.

[exturtle]

Bowie is that one eclectic soul that comes along once in a lifetime. He hears everything, ignores most, enchants what he feels is best. Nothing sticks, nothing breathes him. Pinpoint will not work. The man is his own.

[perkyporkpie]

One of the great things about Mr Bowie is whatever song he sings it sounds like it's his! Which is an amazing thing to pull off. And like everyone of my generation we're going to miss the little devil.

[Nexuseven]

UNcomfortably numb at Bowie's passing, RIP legend.

& WOW what a performance from Gilmour, touched my soul.

[SammySamIAm]

How is that Gilmour's voice seems to be better with age? Awesomeness...

[DKTek]

I’m 55 and never saw this before now. I grew up listening and watching these guys. This was amazing to watch. Just wish the producers would’ve realize that Gilmore’s solos are so epic, that the guitar needed some of that very well done spotlighting during the solos. Even a couple of LEDs lighting the fretboard…anything to watch his handiwork.

[gaslighted]

IMHO, there’s very VERY little that can stand up to a Gilmour solo. Nearly every one I’ve heard has touched me profoundly. Hard to explain but I suspect many of you will understand what I mean, more than likely agree. REAL music lasts forever. Peace.

[ericbillingsley]

Just... amazing. I love Roger Waters, but Bowie brings a very different feel and arrangement to this classic track. I'm not a musician, but I consider David Gilmour to be one of the absolute greatest guitarists in history. Nobody - and I mean *nobody* - sends me flying with a chill down my spine like the unique sounds of David Gilmour making his Strat sing like an angelic choir. Both artists really stuck the landing on this duet. Bravo!

[gregoryboverson]

David Bowie singing his part in a different key?...🤔 Yes! Absolutely. He's Bowie! He can do that and it's still genius! R.I.P. Bowie. ❤

[sidhartray]

R.I.P. David Bowie. We will never forget you.

[moony]

The best solo for a Comfortably Numb live that I have ever heard!

[preoccupiedpaupers]

Bowie's vocals are amazing (as always) he does it his style and totally nails it...FACT

[lezam]

What an interesting pitch Bowie chose to sing in. Lovely.

[Sparkina]

David G and David B made a great team. The Gentleman really could make magic with his music. RIP, Mr. Bowie

[MirjanaStefanovic]

what a fantastic performance, the unique genius of David Gilmour, perfect guitar....and Bowie...amazing
