You will never understand the sound quality unless you were there. Absolute perfection.
Yah, I saw him in Atlanta last night. It's kind of like going to Hawaii though; once you go it ruins every other beach for you because it's so good.
Just seen it last night.. Wow!! One of the best shows ever!! Incredible
@@wlouisharris Whatan terrible narcist is roger!!!!!!!!!
right! and its not the fact it was super loud....just crisp and deep
@@keredsilloc4095 One of the best sounding shows I have ever experienced. And I been to a hell of alot of concerts. This one is superb!!
I love how attentive the audience is during Comfortably Numb.
Because their all still sober
i saw this show live and that intro is absolutely hypnotizing when youre there
I believe it’s the maturity level of the audience. I saw this show and the audience was dead quiet during this song. It was refreshing to know an arena full of people could be this courteous to each other.
This rendition is absolutely haunting. I hope to God he releases an official recording of this version.
A freaking love how dark this was!
Much like Us + Them and The Wall, he’ll probably make a movie and release the soundtrack for it seperately, so we will eventually get that live recording in all its glory.
Finally has 🥳
It's in the pictures next week in the uk
@@thedonde5407is it streaming anywhere or available to listen?
This opening song had the greatest sound quality I have ever heard or ever will hear in my entire life. The entire set was amazing but something about the sound quality of this track with the lightning made my arm hairs stand when I saw it in person.
@@JohnParker-cm1eg I am talking about the quality of the sound system. Haha you would not know because you won't be there.
Thia version of CN was amazing and yes the whole thing was so perfect.
Looking forward to the 14th in Vancouver. I feels!! for reals what you saying.
And I'm a 100 if anybody asking lol
Without, Roger is nothing without Gillmore!!!!!
I thought that was the best part of the concert no doubt about it! Hello.....
im 13 and loooove pink floyd and roger waters and saw this concert last night, it was my first concert and oh my god it was so cool. i literally cried bc i was so overcome with emotion
Outstanding!!🤘🥹yup, my first concert was Pink Floyd 1988, Sacramento, CA! I was 9🤘😜🎸34 years later and I’ve still never stopped playing my guitar😆
Congratulations, all the other concerts of the bands that you ever might see, will stand in the shadow of this one concert that you have seen forever. 😎
I did not cry when I was in my teen years, but at 53 I do at some points. The quad female vocals at the start of Great Gig get to me for some reason. But only Waters for me.
This was my first concert too at 15
It is possible to love Pink Floyd and Roger Waters solo. I do without any problem at all.
Absolutely! Rogers is the songwriter and lyrics of PF. You see that element big time in his solo music. David is the voice and guitar of PF, you can also hear that in his solo music as well. I like them both, some albums better than others. Both solo shows are fantastic and they play PF just fine!
yes, I do too, saw roger on the Us & Them tour 2018, single best experience I've had in my lifetime - incredible atist and visionary
Absolutely.... love Roger and David so much and thank them for all the journeys they did w me growing up. Thank u 4 30 years of the greatest music i will ever listen to
He's great so difference good 👍
Could not agree more. Love everything about PF, beginning to end and beyond.
My mom and I are going soon I can't wait😭😭😭😭
Update: Most amazing concert of my life😍 No words can describe the feeling of being there. Absolutely jaw dropping and breathtaking
they are comming to norway and it got announced yesterday night and im going
Hahaha right on! Glad you had a great time🤘😎yup, saw him for my 4th time here in Austin, TX last week! So good! Check out his Instagram and the clip from Austin and you’ll see me, my wife and 2 1/2 year old daughter rockin out with her lollipop🤣👍🍭
I love Roger waters music he is a genius
I do too but this opening is fucking dreadful! His ego has finally turned the corner. Shitty film and background vocals are worst I've heard from Floyd camp yet. Wake up, suckers!
I love punctuation, and you are an idiot!.
So you didn't fuck off to the bar, then? Lol
Wow, what an amazing version of Comfortably Numb. Subdue the music, and even the lyrics were partially subdues, which resulted in the lyrics being so very powerful, just like they were when The Wall was first released.
So much wisdom in those lyrics. Visuals? Chilling. Thank you for posting. 😎🤘
Juat saw this in Miami w my 20 year old son. What a moment for me that i will never forget. I love Pink Floyd and Roger Waters so much and this intro was perfect. The sound system, the shrooms kicking in, i was 1 with my moment. I couldnt stop from crying tears of joy for being able to experience what i was experiencing at that moment. Thank u father for the gift of my amazing life to be able to have shared such an amazing moment w my first born and the kid that saved my life.
Watching this opener still give me goose bumbs months later! What an experience!
Thank´you Roger for make this arrange to Comfortably Numb, its a miracle¡¡. I´m a person who grew with the song, I´m 51 years old, after all my way this versión finally at the end of my life makes me feel comfortably numb, And then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun, and now the child is grow, but the dream not gone......I´ll be waiting for you at oct 14 in Mexico City¡¡
Oh. My. God.
I seem to be having trouble picking my jaw up off the floor. I sincerely hope I can see Roger in Denver, Colorado. His music is medicine for me.
It was an amazing experience!!! Loud, visual and in your face.
Only Roger would open with Comfortably Numb 🙂
Comfortably Numb on a whole new level!!
I was blown away by this version after all the years of seeing them live.Very chilling and emotional with the sound effects and images.I was sitting just two rows away from the stage.
Shit felt surreal almost
No gilmour solo so its shit!
Digging this version of Comfortably Numb. Glad he's willing to shake things up a bit
Exactly instead of the same old same old
I saw this band live with The. old version .. Without gilmour.. Better try someting else.. Its a form Without function
Absolutely incredible show, saw it Wednesday in Los Angeles he never fails to excite me! So good
It`s fantastic. Thank you for sharing this good quality recording. I am waiting to see more ...👍
Just saw this in KC. Watching to relive the best night of my life! No video can capture how amazing it was!!
I saw it last week and I know what you mean. Comfortably numb was almost scary. Made me really think about the song’s relevance to today. What an experience it all was.
Just saw him in MN and also saw the US and THEM show a few years back. To fans who have not seen this show, please GO! Brought me to tears 😭. So awesome!
I'm glad parts of Minnesota are still standing
@@andrewyoung2796 Turn off Faux News
@@Rusty_____Shackleford687 i don't have TV
To take one of Pink Floyds most famous songs and reimagine it as a guitar solo-less intro to a show is in my mind pure musical genius on Rogers behalf - I wish I was there
WOW what an extraordinary version and what a great show
Been a Floyd fan for years and years. This is the first time I saw Roger though, absolutely incredible show
One of my greatest concert moments was singing Comfortably Numb with 50,000 Floyd fans at Schaeffer Stadium in '89. Gotta see this when he gets back to the UK!!!!
I was at the old Wembley stadium during the momentary lapse of reason tour…🤩
@@TheBillyonepunch London Dockands Arena, took a girl who said pink who? she didnt last 🙄
This is FUKIN EPIC. OMG. Can't wait for the Europe leg. Jeeeeeez!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the upload my man.
When is that
Is he touring in Europe? When?
@@martinkulkarni3569 Next year
@@dmarmol086 Thanks. I’ll look out for dates and places. Hopefully some dates in the UK, but if just abroad fine. Cheers!
Only someone as brilliant as RW could take an absolutely perfect song like Comfortably Numb and come up with a totally compelling alternative version. He is my god because some of the stuff he's created is, to me at least, beyond human capability and comprehension.
Roger Waters=So far, past his prime.
@Kurt, well yes, that’s how… aging works…
@@kurthanke5788 Kinda like you gtfoh
Brian dead comment
Comfortably Numb version is horrible. It's emotionless & boring. Gilmour said it best, 'Roger's forte is not music.' RW musically is simply, 'yuk'!'
Saw Roger Waters last night! The beginning of the show was definitely my favorite part of the show. Glad you were able to capture this video. 👍
Saw this last night. Nothing short of incredible. Perfection is all I could say
Thank you for the upload 👍
The opener was the show stopper. Blown away by this version of Comfortably Numb. I took my boss, a first timer, to the show. " never seen or heard anything like that in my life "he said. Also just the mix of young and old at the bar before hand. Some are teaching the children.....proper education..
Yes seen him since k A O S. This show was one of the best. But I say that every time I go.
Genius's
Seen him last night in Philadelphia and can’t stop thinking about the show. Definitely will always remember the experience.
I love Pink Floyd, and I love Roger Waters... this message has been approved by me.
Amazing version! The greatest genious of Pink Floyd! With something to say, worried about the world and not the bank account! Music is much more than sounds, it is also about meaning and true feelings!
Worried about his Bank account? Roger has over $30 BILLION ! This Is Not a Drill Tour was Planned to go thru USA in 2020 before the Election but was delayed due to Covid. He was trying to Tour Against Trump? Why sbud the Opinion of a RICH BRITISH musician matter in the USA politics, if THAT Changes your mind u are worse than sheep, more like Lemmings? The pied piper is calling u to join him? On a stairway to Heaven?
Exactly, I feel a song with my whole body and mind. Some people don’t even know any words or what it is about!
I agree, but if he wasnt worried about the bank account, his concerts wouldn't be so expensive LOL
@@Belgaram good point lol
what a crock! all he is worried about his bank account... know your Pink History!
Amazing opening for an amazing show,performed by one of the best music composers of our time.
Saw the LA show. Amazing version, and I’m the biggest David Gilmour fan, but even without the solos it’s fabulous. Great songs can be done in many different versions. For some reason this pared down version was sadder and more desperate. Incredible show
great songs can be done in many different versions with a new texture and flavor each time
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO!!! YOU MADE MY DAY!!
Vision of the Future if Klaus has his way. Wake up!
Great reset 😑

I loved the intro at Montreal, thanks for sharing this
Great job THOMAS I like the energy keep coming up with them
Thanks for the post... thank you
My son went to this show in Pittsburgh. He says it was awesome. Epic. I'm so glad he got to see it. Some people did leave! Fools! Go Roger !! Hope you keep it up! He is amazing and spot on politically. He leans nowhere. Criticized EVERYONE-- as we all should!
LOL Left Leaning like poorly designed tower...
@@HR-rt9nh must be your design. You're obviously misinformed. He criticizes both harshly. Always has. You've totally missed his message or just dont know what you're talking about . That's on YOU even if you're not your own thinking and repeat others who are misinformed or puppeteering you to spread THEIR agenda . Strattle your own nuts if you have them( metaphorically if you havent, mam)
@@ss67camaronut nope i am very comfortable with my knowledge of Pink Floyd history, Waters history, how he is at concerts having been to a couple of Pinks and several of waters shows. and I can say with out a doubt.... he is a leftist SOB. does not take away from his music... but his views are 100% left .
Roger's politics aren't overly important to me. His music, Pink Floyd's music, is far more important. Yes, he does have capitalist, socialist, and various other tendencies. But no one person or country is going to succeed in trying to scare him to be something else. Even if so-called free countries force censorship on a album cover.
@@dgk42 yes that was my point. 78 and still sounds and performs great , speaks his mind freely caring not if what he says doesn't conform to anyone else's agenda. He criticizes all . And says he doesn't care who disagrees, and that they are as free to leave as he is to speak his mind and doesn't apologize to anyone who disagrees. And all through music. Freakn AWESOME music too. Points out some truths about left, right, and middle that everyone should care about . The flying pig and anti fascist message and the presidential murder list are attempts to shock us away from any side and open our eyes to the death we cause while destroying our planet. RW is goin strong at 78 and I hope he keeps goin as long as he wants. Pink Floyds music lives in all of us . Its music that you truly feel and RW just wants us to think and reflect through the feels. 🤘😛♥️🏴☠️
Great seats you had. Thanks for sharing I'm sure you had a blast!
thanks for posting
Spectacular!
I can't watch it ll because I'll be seeing him on Friday at the Bell Center Montreal .. I CANT WAIT, One of my best dreams coming true 🤟
Me too!! Going next wed. To Albany NY! Can't wait! So glad I got my tickets last year! First time ever seeing him ! My older brother had set up for Pink Floyd in Toronto and after the sound check David Gilmour walked past him and said ...It sounds pretty good eh mate ??!! My older brother was a good drummer and set up a lot of stages for lighting and sound! All across the country for a lot of famous artists. RIP BROTHER GARY LEWIS!
I was there, I am 25y. Always loved Pink Floyd, Gilmour and RW. I’m still mesmerized by the show!
So glad to see this posted! I missed the first hour of the show unfortunately and missed so many faves
Brilliant!!!!!
Going to the show in Denver. I am so excited! He was so good at the Us & Them tour in 2017!
Seen the show in Vancouver about a month ago and it was incredible, when the thunder hits on this first part you can feel it in the bathroom according to my buddy
Going to the show in Orlando... Can't wait! And looking forward to it even more now seeing this! Thanks!
I imagine that every fool in Florida will walk out of the show.
@@kevinelak3575 Yeah…no. Enjoyed the show on 8-23-22 at FTX Arena Miami FL. 🌴🎶
THANK YOU TOM FOR NOT TURNING OFF YOUR CELL PHONE!!
I am 65 and will be going w my reunited SOULMATE (from the 70s)
and my 25-yr old boys.
THUS ... making this ... a WONDERFUL LIFE!! Thank you Roger!! 💞💗💖❤🔥💕💋💯💥💫🎼🎹🎸🎶🔥💎👑🕊✝🌷
Fr I just went yesterday and it’s been my life long dream to see this man it was incredible
Saw the show last night in Philadelphia. Walked right up the box office with a local bud, dropped $150. 50ydr line up, section 118. INCREDIBLE show! the graphics the musicians. this rendition is TopShelf. seeing RW again in DC in 2 wks. 🙏🏻 🐖 🐕 🐑 🎸 💗
What does Roger Waters think about war in Ukraine? Ukrainian people is suffering Russian agression!!! Russia ties to kill us ... Ukrainian old people, women, children. Unfortunately, the great musician is mistaken if he considers the Nazi authorities in Ukraine to be to blame. Nazis are not Ukrainians, a real psychopath and Nazi Putin! Where is that Roger Waters whose songs I always listened to with great pleasure? Where is the Roger Waters whose citizenship I have always admired?
Russia is trying to kill us!
Wow
I was there same section. Absolutely amazing!!
Fantastic!!!
Saw the show 2 days ago in columbus oh. This is the start of the best indoor concert I have ever seen. Parts were uncomfortable, but that is the brilliance of Mr Walter's. You think
I saw Sir Roger Waters 1998. What a Konzert! Great! Love forever!!!!
Hypnotic, epic opening and concert.
man i watched this show in miami and it was awesome. first concert ever as well. what an experience and the ending with the emotional rendition of outside the wall was amazing. i think roger needs to put the wall on broadway
Just got back from this..Best sound quality and opening I've ever seen.
Yes. That. It was that good live. So lucky to have seen it at the time.
OMG! it’s GREAT to hear them actually really sing without pre recorded vocals! I’m not accusing them of using pre recorded vocals in the past, it’s just disappointing to hear so many bands using pre recorded vocals that it’s great to hear Pink Floyd singing live.
Saw the show the 10th in Portland, this is in my top concerts, did not expect what I got to witness.
well damn it! i guess i have to see it for myself! (thanks for posting)
Wow! Nicely done!
I was honored and a little stoned when I saw this concert. Nothing could compare.
Ugh I’m so excited to see him it’s making me emotional i
I like the Comfortably Numb version. It's very stark and makes you really focus on the words. Interesting choice for an intro.
they all had cell phones in thier hands or did u miss that?
@@zim1966 yep so what's new ? People more focused on the damn cellphone than the actual moment
@@rickleblanc8900 there trying to catch the moment
Roger, bring it to the UK - we miss you. And while you're here, run for PM!
Oh man, I wish the tour will come to Brazil again this time. We need Roger.
What an opening
You sir have regained my respect.! After the Us and Them nonsense I was very reluctant to buy a ticket. I love this version of Comfortably Numb.. Very haunting
TBH i was sick of hearing Comfortably Numb in concert, usually the last encore, but this opening (like many others have said) was just out of this world, so loud, so clear, so poignant, i saw the show in Nashville, i could have gone home happy after that first song
STREAIGHT UP.../MADE ME CRY
Excellent video. Really got the feel of being there, but I’m sure it was nothing like actually being there.
brilliant, thank you, Mr. Waters!
Wow Roger, just smashed it.
i am a Trumper who will always love Roger
❤️
This was the best concert I have ever been to
For sure. I’m still going back & re-watching it. I went & saw The Who a month later & just couldn’t get as emotionally entwined. Definitely the best concert I’ve ever been to. 🕊
Wow... that version of comfortably numb with the visuals sent shivers down my spine...
Music is a form of expression. The expression of emotions, ideas, opinions and sensibilities of the creator in sound and melody. Sincere expression of emotion is internally for the benefit ond agenda of the creator.......NOT FOR THE LISTENER. It may be directed towards a targeted audience but it is something the creator wishes to get off of his chest or out of his mind.....even if it's just simply musical notes and tone. If the attention of listeners is captured then that's the bonus ....... shared appreciation or a response either positive or negative is success, if that's the intention, to the artist or creator.
A separation of politics from music is usually an opinion shared by people who are not artists and offended by what the artisan has created. Politics, religion.. whatever is fair game to the artist. Always has been....Always will be. The subject matter is an expression of the individual. Could you imagine the Vietnam War Era without songs like Chicago, Ohio by CSN & Y. Or Volunteers and Mexico by Jefferson Airplane. What about the absence of Southern Man by Neil Young. We would never had had the response by Lynard Skynard in Sweet Home Alabama. Imagine John Lennon never writing Imagine.
The songs weren't written to guarantee the approval of the listener. They were written to express the emotions of the artist.
You nailed it there David...
The Wordsmith.. 10th December 2015
Us poetic wordsmiths produce something that is a form of art.
Some will argue that our creations are just poles apart.
But we don’t use things like oils, pastels or acrylics.
We use letters of the alphabet to form a verse or singers lyrics.
We can arrange them to form words both good and bad.
Some to make you happy and some may make you sad.
Depending on our frame of mind at a given point in time.
We can mingle letter into verse, song, poem or rhyme.
Now an artist can have their paintings framed and hung upon a wall.
A lyricist puts his to music and can be played at some venue or grand ball.
But us creative writers don’t get the same acclaims.
Many may not come across our work, let alone know our names.
But we all have the same train of thoughts that are visions in our head.
an artist picking what colour to use, while we choose a word instead.
The finished article may not lead to what we first expected
But we alter and refine our work, like an artist does, till it can no further be perfected.
We are inspired by certain images, happenings and events.
Some producing laughter while others the anger it truly vents.
Hopefully when you read it you can sense the writers train of thought
And if appreciation is shown it means the imagination has been caught.

@@charlierobertson7784 RW must remember which versions of these songs made him a multimillionaire, and what fans paid big bucks to hear. These timeless classics were at sometimes unrecognizable.
the concert in denmark 17/4-2023 is the best concert i ever have seen thanks roger waters :)
Good to see positive comments. There has been too much negativity from the air guitar w⚓s. I've played, witnessed live and adored this track for years. So nice to hear it done differently.
Just saw this tour last night. Incredible.
Awesome! ! !
Amazing. I love it
ROGER WATERS ... I will love YOU and your MUSIC forever !
A mi viejo se lo llevó el COVID... Y siempre le voy a dar gracias x hacerme escuchar pink Floyd ..
Desde el cielo... Escucha este tema pa... A mí me hizo llorar estrañandote... Te quiero pa..
Gracias Roger
I was there in Sept. Excellent!
First concert I ever went to and it was amazing
I love the irony of a video showing an announcement asking people to turn off their cell phones being filmed on a cell phone.
Gracias desde Uruguay!!!!!
All Fantastic!!!

Fascinating!
This is - REALY PF. Realy! From Russia with Love!
Really 🙄
WOW. That's all for nowl no more words are needed.
Watched him at the hydro in glasgow n blew my mind n few years before us n them but this os not a drill was outstanding
Saw this last night in Chicago. Fucking amazing
Great show. If it made you uncomfortable in parts, it was supposed to. Great art can sometimes make you feel uncomfortable. Roger Waters is one of rock's geniuses.
I went to see Roger Waters at the Crypto Arena 9/27. I'm still in awe today about the show.
brilliant
