Dudes, dudes...you simply must react to this song at the Pulse Concert live...David Gilmour, the band were just at their apex...the guitar solo, the light show...just incredible
I agree. For some reason I chose this to help me through my Dad's death a number of years ago. I listened to it over and over and.....I still need it from time to time!
The best version of this classic song. Yes, I have seen this song live twice with Floyd, it is that good.
ABSOLUTELY, A MUST !!!!
👍
You really must watch the pulse concert. It will blow your mind.
The Pulse concert is a must for a live version of this song. Not only do they sound wonderful, but the light show they had going during the song was amazing in itself. David Gilmour's solos are out of this world.
Yeah, he added a wail to his last solo that made it even better, hard as that is to believe.
Couldn’t agree more. The whole concert is a masterpiece.
The production was basically given a blank check for the 1994 tour.
The live version comments are legit, guys! The PULSE version includes all the greatness of the original and just heaps more greatness into it!!!
"He's a narrator with the guitar".
That's a bingo! Well put.
1st solo: Soaring, heavenly, euphoric
2nd solo: Bitter, furious, hellish agony
I get not reacting to a song for the first time live, that the studio version is better, but, this is the exception. The Pulse concert performance is (in my biased opinion) the best live performance of a song ever. As for the solo live… you’ll see why it should be this version.
*Spot on Louise.*
Everytime I hear this song I alternatingly want to weep and laugh. After almost 43 years I've come to regard it as a 'prayer' of sorts, a 'liturgy' in some sense. It is imperative that I experience Comfortably Numb at least once a week, with earphones.
Absolutely... There are times I have to listen to it every day!!!
"regard it as a prayer" Love this comment!
The thing that is so damn clever about Pink Floyd is that even after hearing the songs hundreds of times, everytime feels like the first time of hearing for me. So layered and complex.
I agree completely
Out of the hundreds of concerts I was able to attend, Pink Floyd The Wall at the LA Sports Arena in February of 1980 would have to be the pinnacle.
One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd, One experiences them!
This album came out when I started high school. What a wonderful time to be alive. We had the best music. This album is a masterpiece ✌️and❤️
Yesssss me too
I'm a rare person that got to see the original Wall shows in 1980. Pink Floyd only performed The Wall tour in three cities in 1980, L.A, NYC, & London. I went to one of the shows in Los Angeles, February 1980. Greatest concert I've ever attended.
I saw Pink Floyd in 1994 on the Division Bell tour. My parents got me tix for my 19th birthday. Possibly the best concert I've ever seen.
I graduated from high school in 1980, we picked "The Wall" for our senior song. When the printed programs came, and the teachers saw the lyrics to the song, they made us glue the pages together so that no one could see it at graduation. Kind of proved the message of the song.
Roger Waters explained that the song is not about education. Read his interview with the New York Times.
It’s that reaction at 15:19 from the guy in the middle that basically just says, “this is the greatest sound I will ever hear as long as I live.”
I think it was wise to start with the original song rather than the live version. Many of the reactions on UA-cam start with the live version. But it was this version that dominated rock radio back in the day. We heard this song over and over and over again, and it's one of those classic songs you never tire of. In fact, I think the best of the classic rock of this period is going to survive long past the boomer generations. I think it stands with some of the greatest music in history- Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. Add the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd to the list.
I can't agree as the surprise element of that incredible guitar solo will be lost now,my friend.
I've never quite understood why this song seem to evoke so much emotion in the listener! I have seen many break down into tears after the song! And I will admit, it does me that way!
This is also a movie. No words can describe. Wish you were here is another song you give a listen.
This song is IMO Pink Floyd's best. I love the way that Roger sings the downbeat verse and Dave sings the uplifting chorus (and did that amazing guitar solo) - the contrast between the two singers' voices and styles is perfect for the song. The Wall was largely self-therapy by Waters, who had never fully gotten over his father dying in World War II when Roger was a young boy.
such an intense song ! and the solo, EPIC ! i had this same 'balloon hands' when i was 8 yrs old with the flu and 103 fever. my hands felt large, tingly, fuzzy and i couldn't put them together . (like magnets) i am 60 yrs old and still remember this experience vividly
I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd twice in concert, and both were a feast for the eyes and ears. Guitars want David Gilmour for Christmas.
Love how the three of you were nodding when he asks “just nod if you can hear me”
😎😎😎 Great choice ✌🏼🎧
In the 60-70's most of us stayed "comfortably numb".
Pink Floyd are bloody superb! This song is an absolute masterpiece, nice one chaps good choice!
No song deserves applause more than
Comfortably Numb. Others do, but Comfortably Numb draws it out of you with it's brilliance.
I just remember we were all stoned & sitting around chilling, listening to all these LONG songs & drift away! I don’t miss the “stoned” days but I sure miss those good ol’ days!! Memories of many long gone…until we meet again!! ❤️💔
COMFORTABLY NUMB PULSE LIVE!
About David Gilmour's guitar solos. Many years ago I read in a guitar magazine that David Gilmour is deemed the Undisputed Dean of the Compound Bend. He admits he never was a fast playing guitarist. His solo's aren't necessarily difficult. But his note placement is pretty much flawless. Pink Floyd is my favorite and always will be. And this is my favorite song of all time. Now to your reaction on it. Thank you for actually reacting to it with insight instead of listening and saying, "Well, that was good."
Seeing this performed live was absolutely amazing
The Pulse version is so crazy you should react on it... And I was there (don't say I'm old, please!)... The David Gilmour guitar solo is long and completely amazing, he's not just a performer, he's mainly a story teller, the best guitar solo ever... Pink Floyd is my favorite band, but I'm a real fan of bands from UK in the 70's, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Genesis with Peter Gabriel... And David Bowie, of course... More and more, the UK is the land of big music anyway, you have so much to discover and have real pleasure... Pink Floyd is the band you must listen to the entire albums because most of them have no pause, everything is unchained and it's crazy... The Wall is also a movie, you should watch it with a very good sound, it's a kind of Roger Water's life, some pieces come from his life... My favorite one is "Atom Heart Mother" but it's special, "Meddle" is amazing too... In fact, every album is crazy... Thanks for your reaction, you're young but you like music, love from France 🇫🇷😘
You guys need to look at a live performance of this song....you will enjoy it even more...Pink Floyd forever
Arguably one the best solos that soars and transcends like few others. Enjoyed the breakdown.
This song is even better when you listen to it along with the whole album
The album is mind blowing, my dad brought it home when I was 10 yrs old and I couldn’t believe what I was listening to even at that age
There is no band that compares to Pink Floyd. You'll love the album Animals! Listen to it in it's entirety.. it'll be one of the best experiences of your life. If you're not already in a head change, you will be after riding this album! Love you guys! You are the best music reactors on YT❤️ HAPPY 4TH!
Pigs. Three Different Ones.
Yes!! Animals is an amazing album. If I were forced to pick a favorite that would be it.
I used to jam to the album on my flute as a teen. Nailed the guitar solo on this piece note for note. Of course, on a flute, embellishing with runs and trills is acceptable, which made this one a real treat. Running quarter time runs in each arpeggio was a real workout! Good times.
What a great memory! Hope you still play…..
Great reaction and review, guys. David Gilmour's guitar work almost always serves the song, and never sounds like "time for the required solo." He creates melody that ties to the song, and one can't imagine the composition not having what he creates. He's a true artist, as well as the other members of the band are or were.
I think this is definitely contender for greatest rock solos of all time. It is literally magic.
Pulse is great. That being said, I think the studio version should always be heard first. That's the way we heard it when these songs first came out. I saw them live three times in the 80's. There is nothing like it.
This guitar solo speaks and makes you feel more than a million voices ever could. This and Stairway to heaven have just that something that is special

Above is the link to a cover version of the guitar solo from "Comfortably Numb" by Kent Nishimura, a 20 year old solo acoustic guitar fingerstyle prodigy. This was a rare time where Kent did not perform an entire version of the song with a guitar arrangement and without other instruments. It's near impossible to match the genius guitar work of David Gilmour, but Kent is a talented musician nonetheless.
David Gilmore has the voice of a God and plays the guitar like one too! Just outstanding, every time I hear it and that's many, many, many times. I will never tire of hearing this magic! This music gets into your very being. Pink Floyd are true geniuses. Their music has changed my life.
Gilmour.
Pink Floyd has such a uniqueness, it's hard not to at least appreciate them. My top 3 band of all time.
I've listened to the entire album so many times, it's hard for me to hear a lot of these tracks out of the context of the album, but it is just so brilliant.
You guys have got to react to "echoes " by Pink Floyd, specifically the live at Pompeii version
Please the live version
Some of the shimmer is a "high-strung" acoustic guitar, which is basically a 12-string with the lower, wound strings removed, leaving only the thin, higher-tuned strings to be the first ones struck on the downstroke. Brilliant work.
David’s guitar is just an extension of HIM. David and his guitar are one 🥰
Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 has one of the David's most iconic solos ever, along with Comfortably Numb and Time. Other songs with face melting solos worthy of checking out are On The Turning Away, Have A Cigar, and Money. Some live performances are also iconic, such as Sorrow and Learning to Fly from PULSE (the latter being played by Tim Renwick, the guitar player on Life in Dark Water by Al Stewart). Another Brick in the Wall from the same concert is also amazing, with both a CD and a DVD version. Then we have the two long masterpieces that are Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Echoes.
I genuinely feel like not enough people are aware this song even exists. It's a fuckin masterpiece
Oh yeah … Pink Floyd… The Wall… just an incredible piece of music .
The Pulse version is the go-to for this one. Greetings from Colombia
SOOOoooooo……..can you do the live Pulse version now? That guitar solo is twice as long…..magnificent!
Guys, the founder of Pink Floyd was SYD BARRETT. You better check it out, because it might blow Your mind. Greetings from Italy.
roger waters is the doctor speaking to a patient and david gilmour is the patient trying to respond to him - also on the song TIME did you notice how there are 12 bass drops before the song kicks in - one for each number on a clock face - its all there for a reason - genius - never be another band like them
guys, believe me, the two most brilliant bands are pink floyd and queen
I saw this performed live on the Division Bell Tour at Texas Stadium in April of 1994. It had just begun to lightly rain, and the laser lights going through the mist as they played and sang was a sight to see; one that I won't ever forget. Very surreal. Almost like church. I was only 23. Excellent reaction.
Once I had a dream that I was walking in the woods and saw this really goofy looking bird sitting on a fence or something. It looked at me and starting making this regular repeated squawk...It was the alarm going off...
You must watch them live, it's a different world!
Imagine hearing this in 1979. Epic
I grew up with this band and still digg them.. i am 59 years now :) Have a nice day.
The solos on gitar.. yes best ever! :)
Pink Floyd in Hockenheim Germany on The Division Bell tour is and probably will continue to be the the most musicaly perfect concert I've attended..... Absolutely stunning show from start to finish 🖤🖤
Live at Pulse !
So, as the designated old guy, when I went to college at WKU (Western Kentucky University), there were quarterly Pink Floyd laser-light shows at their Planetarium. You'd get there 30 minutes before sunset; get a comfy-reclining chair with your favorite mind-altering substance, watch a virtual setting of the sun and 5 minutes of education about the night sky and then it would kick in to either Darkside of the Moon, or the Wall. It would include music generated laser-light show, (state of the art during 1979/1980-ish). My preference was DSotM, but Comfortably Numb was great to watch. You then stumbled out and went to a club because it was still early. It was an event that even eclipsed going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Laser Floyd was Awesome! 🙌🏼😁
I too, thoroughly enjoyed those shows, & the mind altering substances 🍃 of the 70's & 80's paired perfectly with Pink Floyd. 😂
This song always makes me emotional.
Pure Quality.
Michael Kamen was also co-credited with Eric Clapton on the EP of music from the BBC series 'Edge of Darkness,' one of the best drama series of all time. Although I can't find mention on IMDB. I remember seeing the credits on the cassette tape (C1983/4 for filming, 1985 transmitted, first on BBC2, then within months repeated on BBC1) Bob Peck, Joe Don Baker et. al.
Wow, so once, again you taught me something i should have known a long time ago. I have heard this song so many times... But i never knew what it was called. So i thought i was going to the reaction blind. Nope i know the song. Not only that, i don't know how many times i have sang that "Hello, is anybody in there" to my friends and family if they are not listening to me. 😂 Gotta be in the mood to listen to it. They have great talent! Brick in the Wall is on my playlist. And always interesting to hear the background of the song.
I had experiences like that when I was young...
My hands felt puffy and expanded...
Balloon like...
Had multiple dreams of this...
One of my favorites...the entire song is like an ebb and flow, the instruments are a rhythmic come and go...it's the line you're only coming thru in waves...the music is doing that the entire time. Love it!
Solo ends.... followed by speechlessness..... the end
I think you're absolutely correct to listen to the studio version first, even here. As great as the Pulse version is, and it is amazingly great, hearing it after the studio version will enhance the experience even more! Great review!
I can;t agree.All the suspense and surprise will e gone,my friend.
Pink Floyd… “Keep Talking”… Pulse concert.
You’re welcome.
Plus, seek out the film, with Bob Geldof playing Pink.
Once, while listening to this track, I "felt" myself "leave" my body, a truly unsettling, but, dreamy experience, which strangely tasted divine, too.
Gilmour doesn’t play guitar he plays your soul.
i remember being sick as a child and beng out of my mind with pain. I was given Demoral and had the trip of a lifetime. I identify with Comfortable Numb in a very personal way.
❤🕊🇬🇧Sending love
Pulse live. Epic!
The 'doctor' is a 'doctor feel-good'. He's pushing HEROINE on the character and he's now 'comfortably numb'.
I was 17 when I saw them at Madison Square Garden back in the late sixties/early seventies, and I was feeling "comfortably numb" & they were beyond amazing. One of the best concerts I've gone to & I saw a lot of great bands.
The Albert hall show on pulse is the greatest solo by anyone ever. The pulse live version actually cut out 2 minutes of the second solo… WTF for?! You can find it on you tube. I cry every time I hear it.
Dude.....LIVE. Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes...Zepp.......always choose the LIVE versions. And I felt exactly what was described when I was a child as well.....remember it like it was yesterday. It was like a souls view of your meat suit.
No one can put emotion into a guitar like Gilmore. 🤘😎🤘
I always thought they were talking about life on the road. It’s a hard life. You live separate from the rest of humanity. Your lifestyle is sleeping during the day and living at night. You get sick on the road, but the show must go on. The doctor is giving them something to make it through the night’s performance.
Such an amazing, amazing song always brings a tear to my eye with the imagery this produces and the arrangement of it. C'est magnifique! 💯✌️🙌 Also makes me feel immensely sad as it reminds me of my late uncle who passed on last year... More of a father figure to me than my own dad was 😢
Great reaction as usual! Definitely react to more of their songs!
Gilmour paints with his strings, a master artist of sound infused with the emotion of his soul.
The PULSE Concert LIVE 1994 version features an extended guitar solo and spectacular light show, which combine for an unforgettable performance.
Live from Pulse, run, now, do it!!!
Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse, Pulse!
Did anybody mention Pulse?
Great song!
British music rulles the world. Regards from Norway
The word epic tends to be overused in society. This song is the very definition of EPIC in every respect. It's funny that the one guy said it sounds like the guy died by the end of this song. First I thought... wrong. But on reconsideration, he's not far from the truth. The character Pink does in fact die by the end of the song. At least the part of him that made him human with feelings. From this point on in the album a new and much darker and scarier Pink comes to the surface. The concept is deep complex and brilliant. You got to listen to the whole thing, probably a few times, to fully grasp it. "The Wall" is a brilliantly constructed performed and produced masterpiece for sure.
David is perfect!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Seen this song branded about for many years but first time I have listened to it in full.Only other song I've heard is Another brick in the wall.Very enjoyable to hear and found out why this group is mentioned in same breath as ELO.....quite similar vocals.good stuff.
Classic!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you guys have to do the Pulse concert. Sorrow is another song that rivels Comfortably Numb.
Pulse concert live! Go for it.
Roger on lead narration, screams, backing vocals, Dave singing lead and backing vocals.
One of the greatest leads ever recorded. Fight me.
Roger wrote the words David wrote the song so there are indeed two songs here with many meanings outside the words roger put to it.
I think you find quite a few of their live performances are on a par(some better) w/their studio versions...plus there is the elaborate staging. Try the Pulse live version of this song.
I'd really love to see you guys listen to more Pink Floyd. They really are one of the most amazing band ever. Every song takes you somewhere. 🌈💗
Esta song es mucho más grande y épica en el álbum "Pulse", tenéis uno de los mejores solos de la historia en directo.
Thanks for another engaging reaction. I enjoy listening to you guys.
*From all of us dedicated Floyd fans..... please watch the PULSE concert version of this. Blow ya mind!*
