- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ย. 2024
- Concert Date: May 29, 2006
Venue: Royal Albert Hall, London, England
Tuneage: Comfortably Numb - first appears on Pink Floyd's 1979 double album, The Wall.
David Gilmour has performed the song during each of his solo tours.
In his 1984 tour to promote his album About Face, the set list referred to the song as "Come On Big Bum". The vocals during the verses were performed by band members Gregg Dechart and Mickey Feat.
In 2001 and 2002, the verse vocals were performed on different dates by guest singers: Robert Wyatt, Kate Bush, Durga McBroom, and most notably Bob Geldof, who had played Pink in the movie version of The Wall.
On 29 May at the Royal Albert Hall, David Bowie, in a guest appearance, sang Waters' part of the song. The next day, on 30 May, Richard Wright sang Waters' part, by himself, on the same venue. Both performances were immortalized on Gilmour's Remember That Night concert video.
In 2006, David Gilmour performed the song in a concert, with the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra providing the orchestral parts that had usually been done with backing tapes or multiple synthesizers. This version would be released on Live in Gdańsk.
The awesome band:
David Gilmour - lead and backing vocals, electric, acoustic, guitars.
Richard Wright (28 July 1943 -- 15 Sept, 2008 - RIP) - lead and backing vocals, hammond organ, piano, synthesizer.
Dick Parry - tenor and baritone saxophones, electronic organ.
Phil Manzanera - twelve string acoustic guitar, electric guitar & backing vocals.
Guy Pratt - bass guitar, double bass, backing vocals.
Jon Carin - synthesizer, backing vocals, lap steel guitar, programming.
Steve DiStanislao - drums, percussion & backing vocals.
Bowie was a true performer; the fact that he goes into the background when Gilmour sings shows how great he was.
His humility here is breathtaking
Once we all heard " Space Oddity" it was obvious he was way special.***
It really does, doesn't it? Both are legends.
Noticed that Bowie's move. Just a detail, but tells a lot indeed.
I give Bowie credit he comes out as a special guest and had to know he wasn’t gonna be the highlight of the performance and went out and did a good job.
Bowie and Gilmour....Man what a combo two titans in Rock. Both of them changed the direction of Rock and opened doors and windows to what could be...This never gets old
The perfect mashup of two extraordinary legends.
Possibly Bowie's last ever public performance in the UK. Amazing stuff. R.I.P Mr David Bowie. We miss you.
This was indeed David Bowies last ever live performance in the UK :(
I've been listening to Floyd since 1969. Still get chills with this song all these years later... Never tire of a true masterpiece. Bowie was great and the 2nd lead guitar solo here is one of Gilmour's best public performances.
What a gentleman. Bowie was always the polite one and knew how to grow old gracefully. Something some of the artists of today seem to have forgotten how to.....not mentioning any names.....But his passing is putting back some decent rock in to the ears of the younger generation and hopefully that will be an inspiration to many more like him. Miss you so much Mr Starman, you never let me down. RIP
R.I.P Richard Wright and David Bowie.
+Erick Conde and soon will be gilmour's turn.
Nice try Bieber...
Bieber? that got no sense.
Gilmour can be as good as god itself, but he's also old. you know it's like.... the life itself... he can die in any moment.
and so can anyone
Bullshit Alan - and so can you
RIP David Bowie
This is so, so sad. But your music will live on forever. Thank you for bringing so much joy to so many countless people over the decades.
Well said my friend... very true.

I'm Completely Numb after this unbelievable arrangement of the song. David's solo leaves me Completely Numb as well. This is brilliant live performance.
The voice of David Gilmour is magnificient !!!!!!!!!!!!
That solo is godly.
His phrasing is bluesy and tasty beyond compare!! Perfect choice of notes!!.
And this is its best version
@@fernandoc.campos8842 ...Fernando. I believe you are right !! Even better than the live at Pompei? Would you agree. Intensity...
@@fernandoc.campos8842 Yes.
I never get tired of listening to this song, since the first time I heard it in 1988 at the age of 16, and this for me is one of the best versions thanks to the collaboration with Bowie.
Same with me
Because the meaning of the song is reflective of our ongoing life, always looking for a comfortably numb moment.
Bowie is an absolute legend, so deserving of that title, may he rest in peace.
A masterpiece in Rock History. David took perfectly over the Spirit of this song.
One of saddest day in my life..I never knew a world without David Bowie...stop to take all my guys..peace
I feel like the soundtrack of my life has been taken from me #RIP
stephane DE SCHEPPER its ok, you can see him on sky news as a record insider, talking about DB's death
Bowie simply takes this song to another level completely. He blends beautifully with Gilmour and the band. I like how at the end Bowie is'nt in sight. THAT is sheer utter 'respect' which you dont see from a lot of people in showbiz.
So true. Both Davids are such obvious gentlemen during this performance, and always. I found it very touching.
That solo always leaves me with goosebumps and entirely speechless. Dave, you are a magnificent guitarist.
And this is the best version of that solo. Gilmour never repeats it, and on this day he was especially inspired.
The level of respect on this stage is outstanding. I love Pink Floyd.....I love Bowie! It looks like Bowie feels humbled to be on stage with them. He should be.....they should be humbled too....and i'm sure they're honoured to have him with them during this show!
Jesus H Christ ..... Gilmer just slays that song on the strat. I can listen to that all night long. He has one of the most distinct guitar sounds ever. It cuts down to the bone and is almost hypnotic.
Who is Gilmer?
Joe...thus is the best sound and performance of this i have heard...😎
David Bowie`s vocal gave this masterpiece so much fresh colors! Thanks to him, the performance has become everlasting, incomparable!
Amazing... Look how people, sitting down is spontaneously getting up and start to dance in their own beautifull way.... You simply can't sit still for this song. I've listened to this song a thousand times since I first heard this song at a Pink Floyd concert in 1987... This is one I never ever ever ever ever ever never ever ever ever ever ever get tired off... NEVER!!!!!
Anyone else get goosebumps? Both these men are rock legends, geniuses even. Comfortably Numb in 2D (2 David's) & then one of the best guitar licks of all times.
Such a sad loss, may you be well remembered, Mr. Bowie.
Really sad day. Some time ago we lost Richard and now David. R.I.P. Mr Bowie. You and your music will be remembered.
I bet it just thrilled Bowie to perform with David Gilmour in this video. Just the right alienation tone that Bowie lived for
+Patti Fearon very good point!
Patti. You got it right .!***
Shine on, Rick Wright and David Bowie. Enjoy your great gig in the sky.
They would be part of god's band I think
Czeckie R.I.P. Side Barreta
@@bipbong2906 Sid Barret ?
@@michaelcelani8325 come back in ten year
The guy dancing at 6:55 is fantastic!
GoodNaturedMischief Doctor who fan???
He kind of ruins the solo
That's me
Damn straight, glad David/producers gave him a tiny bit of spotlight. He's truly in the moment and enjoying it, probably reminiscing of his younger years. Keep on rocking out dude!
I always enjoyed his enthusiasm. Even when I watched the dvd version years ago.
A roller coaster ride in the heaven of music
My ears are bleeding and instead of blood, liquid gold is coming out
My heroes, Bowie and Gilmour (and Richard Wright, of course) on stage together, performing one of my all-time favourite songs. Couldn't be more magical than this! RIP beautiful Bowie and Richard.
RIP Rick and David. So much lost talent. Makes me feel so old. Nothing to compare these days musically. Truly a lost era.
This would have been a dream concert for me! RIP David Bowie. You are the best!
OMG just found this piece of buried treasure. I never knew that Bowie had sung on this with DG. Best cameo I've seen of one of the greatest songs ever. Bowie actually takes this beyond 10/10. Having seen this sung live a couple of times & knowing how mind blowing DG is live & PF, to have been there to witness this would have been something to remember for the rest of your life. Imagine seeing Bowie walk out on stage. One stage, two geniuses.
To my mind, the best by far of any of the Comfortably Numb solos.
amazing.... bowie the gentleman to the end.... happy to be in the shadows... and add his amazing vox to the song....
Superb! RIP Mr. Bowie. You will be truly missed.
Anything with David Gilmour is already awesome....add in Bowie...well, you are in interstellar overdrive lightning lava storm territory, my friends.
It's so moving to watch this again.
This is utterly cosmic, prophetic and frighteningly beautiful!
Always glad to see Richard at the keyboards!! RIP Richard and David!
R.I.P. Bowie. And thank you so much.
R I P David and Richard....A part of my life, as, with all the others that shaped this majestic sound beginning in the golden years of the 60's..
There are So So many of us...just amazing...
The main redeeming feature of The Wall. Gilmour, as always, a great guitarist. David Bowie - perfect .
Absolutely amazing! What an awesome duett! David, I still miss you so much... Your voice will be forever in my heart
"There is no pain, you are receding..." I love how Bowie let's Gilmour sing that part of the song on his own he respects the work of other artists you'll be missed Bowie
Greatness knows greatness & can only show 0 respect like no others can
WOW!!!Full Standing ovation for that rendition,,,,MORE THAN WELL DESERVED,,,,,R,I,P David Bowie and Rick Wright,,,God speed and be with you,,,,,amen..
Bowie the only one who could hold cred with the punk of iggy pop, yet be embraced by the prog rock fans of Floyd. Bowie bridged both genres who were in conflict of each other.
As did Eno and Roxy Music. I've noticed these are musicians often appreciated by both prog and punk fans.
One of my life's dream, one day, be on the same place as this legend, and hear is incomparably beautiful music.
Richard Wright the soul of a band and Bowie = Bliss on a thousand different levels... DG is a inspiration
Only and only David Bowie could sing this song like that and still nail it!! RIP David Bowie.....
This is why I love David Gilmour! Dude is underrated and one of the best rock guitarists ever.
Davids relatively small part in this performance eclipses the rest of it. He was so good in whatever he did and his loss, I feel now is no less than when he passed in 2016. Thank you David for everything that you did.
I just remember when i was a child, and my dad was listening to this song, so its in my blood...
R.I.P. David Bowie.... You made my heart melt... :(
David Bowies voice is a perfect match for this song. With Gilmor’s sense of timing it’s perfection.
very few songs shake me like this one, Bowie or not. Gilmour's solo on this is ageless, a testament to the most wonderful music the 70s brought us, and he still did it with wonderful soul and enormous stile
6:45 through 6:54 is one my favorite moments in time. Goose bumps no matter how many times I watch it..
Two Gods of Music showing us a glimpse of heaven.........I think the after life is going to be amazing!
I have been listening to this album since back in the 70's. It still sounds great. Amazing that a musical work could hold up all these years.
This is amazing! RIP David Bowie ⚡️
This is talent in the most perfect way ❤ REST IN PEACE DAVID
Bowie & Gilmour... they are both the best of all for me and this song, together, is just great ! Miss you, David. Hope to see you "on the other side"...
Wonderful, emotional stuff .. an all time favorite Pink Floyd track with Bowie fantastic interpretation. I love collaborations and cover versions of great tracks so much. RIP David you pretty thing.
serious chills here...Davids...both..beautiful beautiful men and consumate musicians
i am literally crying at this moment
Saw Bowie perform with NIN when I was in high school... awesome show! RIP David Bowie...
It seems this was his last ever performance in Britain. Nice that he shared his final stage with those who were worthy of his genius. That's for helping to rear me David. Xx
I cant watch this without almost crying its that good by far the best version of this song I've heard and I've heard it all over the place by David Gilmour and Rodger Waters. this was also my Dads favorite rendition of the song he loved that he was listening to as he passed away.< I wouldn't change that for anything he loved the song and he was at peace (perfect).
Un hommage à David Bowie, avec un David Gilmour toujours aussi excellent avec sa guitare . De grands groupes qui vieillissent mais qui laisseront pour longtemps leurs griffes musicales
gilmours voice still sounds great
His voice has always evoked such longing and nostalgia. For me, at least.
Oh yeah...and the Stratocaster never sounded better...just astounding. ***
48 Dislikes, WFT??? How can you not like that? Absolute blisstonia. The greatest human being ever to pick up a guitar. End Of Story!!!
The Brier prince 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
prove me wrong dawg
Damn. Everytime i hear this i could cry. Sound from outer Space.
This is amazing, one of the best renditions of a classic. Bowie adds more soul into the vocals,and Gilmour is just too awesome!
Dance like nobody's watching! Gilmour is a genius.
Thank you very much, indeed!
Phew. DG's guitar playing always takes my breath away.
At 64, i have outlived so many of the Great Ones.
Wow.... I'm blown away by it all.
And Richard... Pink FLoyd member, supreme in the keyboard. Fkng amazing
How does this not have over 1 million views, I mean come on now.
Good question
This is the solo version in a iconic forum every great performer aspires to sing here why coz the acustics are truly amazing as you here
Graham Nash & David Bowie. A walk down memory lane. The respect between David Gilmour & David Bowie will travel into the next time that they meet again. RIP David.
Absolutely amazing. RIP David Bowie, one of music's pioneers.
David and David ---- In a nice version of "Comfortably Numb"........ R.I.P - David Bowie
David Bowie and Rick Wright have both left us...A couple of Starmen headed for The Heart of the Sun...
Class. Pure class. RIP Bowie. You are a legend.
this guy gilmour is a classic example of a person getting better and better as he matures
best version ever
Holy shit - that was simply astounding! Thanks for the Goosebumps and lump in the throat DG & DB! :) x
David will never never never die !................................I hope hear you some day... in our next life
Love this so much, lmfao that guy at 6:55 proper rocking it haha
it's awesome how he doesn't care about people around and just enjoying the moment
That's how it should be for every human on the planet. Witness sheeple throwing the sign of the horns at metal gigs without getting into any of the music - fucking too-cool-for-school hipsters in every genre. No mosh pit here, but Gilmour would be absolutely awesome onstage with a guitarist like John Petrucci - probably putting the cart before the horse considering DT's obvious prog rock heritage :D
If was there to witness Bowie and Gilmore together on stage with Gilmore shredding his solo like this you bet I'd be rocking just like that guy.
Fucking awesome when we lose ourselves like that in music!!
its steve austin
Rest in peace, Mr. Bowie. You are loved.
A more distinct voice there isn't! RIP David!
Wish this was done back then...Never let the 70s die 🚀
Gilmour, Wright, and Bowie all ROCK LEGENDS. Gilmour = Guitar GOD!!
This is the best solo you've ever heard until the day you died, if you've ever thought another song was better, then you better know that Your're lying to your self
Salute to the legends!!!!!!!!! You were my all time favorites✌👍
This is Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant - Great to see the icons of Rock together
David Bowie que vou amar pra sempre e David Gilmour com essa guitarra maravilhosa, toca demais é simplesmente fantástico !
And that Ladies and Gentleman is how you get a standing ovation
