Live in Gdańsk, Poland, August 26th 2006.

"Comfortably Numb" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, which first appears on the 1979 double album, The Wall.
It is one of only three songs on the album for which writing credits are shared between David Gilmour and Roger Waters.

This song features two guitar solos by David Gilmour.
The last one is often quoted as the greatest guitar solo of all time.

I usually don't like seeing Roger's parts performed by others, but I'll always accept them being sung by Rick

Probably, one of the best live performances I've seen in my entire life.

I can’t believe that it’s been over 10 years since we lost Wright. He was so key to the sound.

When you are listening to music from Pink Floyd since 1971, you cant admid that Sir Richard Wright was the environmant of the whole story of Pink Floyd. Sir Richard Wright, i Salute you.

This music is not from this planet! I'm sure that is already and will be playing for the infinite universe forever! Thank you Pink Floyd!

No matter how long I go without listening to this classic - 24 hours, 6 months or even a year - it never fails to send shivers down my spine. Thank you Mr. Gilmour

David Gilmour is my favorite musician. He has an amazing voice, that makes me quiet. And the way he plays.. No one can match him. He's the best.

Gilmour played the shut out of that fender strat for the guitar solo! One of the best guitar solos ever!

[kennethhernandez]

This is why I say: " Pink Floyd and D. Gilmour are the best in all the history of music. "!!!

The second guitar solo makes me cry like a baby every time I hear it. Awesome, just awesome end

BEST version of CN I have ever heard. Gilmour was on fire that night. Love the head banging by some audience members - don't see that much at Prog Rock concerts. Rick Wright's vocals are perfect here as well as with Echoes earlier that night. Couldn't imagine then that we would lose him two years later.

30 years ago when i was a young hardrock fan, somebody said to me, that he think, david gilmour ist the best guitarist. I laughed at him. only today I know what he meant... david, please don`t stop !!!

Ooooo. Wow. This is better than the studio version. It's got more immediacy, Dave's voice has a bit of gruff in it, nice. The rhythm track reproduces the dreaminess of the original exactly, with the Bass coming in with just the right volume and accent. Richard changes the phrasing of the lyrics, and improves the believability of them. The guitar is raw, screaming, not mellow and sleepy, and true to the original melody. Oh boy. Off for another listen. These guys have proven to be eternal showmen, obviously enjoying what they are doing unlike so many burnouts from the 70s and 80s who show up to perform begrudingly just because they need the money.

So many concerts of PF and Dave Solo - but I love this and wish I had been to this one... RIP Rick and God Bless Dave for being the man and talent he is! This brings tears of joy and wonderful memories every playback!

Best version of te worlds greatest song.

[AnalogX]

7:51 that smile like "I still go this" he makes it look effortless.

Earth-shaking, soul-piercing guitar playing. Straight chills up the spine. There's been a lot of excellent guitar players out there. But you can keep Jimmy Page, Van Halen, Slash and the like; I'll take Gilmour any day of the week.
