@@KalosPVP The rest of the band is giving plenty of room for Bumblefoot to shred as the guitar solo will always be the climax of Comfortably Numb. But you don't get to hear Portnoy doing double bass triplets or Billy Sheehan tapping at 200 BPM nor using his signature overdrive thick bass tone.
@@KalosPVP totally did, based it well to start with on DG's solo, then after that he couldn't even continue the same style to complete it. I guess you can only mimic someone else's emotions to a point, after that it becomes clear that you don't have the same feeling.
Dear Sons of Apollo, can you please thank Mr. Bumblefoot for playing the leads to perfection and to the original spirit of the song. He didn't make it crazy odd or over-the-top, just plain and simply great. I appreciated his interpretation as well as the rest of the band. Spot on gentlemen, spot on.
He didn't feel the need to sacrifice the familiar, beloved solo in order to make himself look good or anything, and that's commendable- he could easily have played totally different stuff but up to where the song would normally fade out, he did it note for note then added extra to the coda; I applaud him for his restraint and faithfulness
Did you not hear the 2nd half of the solo? Original spirit of the song replaced by crazy overplaying. It was still good, but it could have been great like the rest.
Without a doubt the best version I've seen. It included the iconic solo almost untouched, then he let himself go but always respectfull to the original. Very emotional and flawless
Amazing solo from Ron. One of the best players alive and so under recognized. Respected the great melodic phrases and then added his crazyness at the perfect time.
@@axkmster You're funny guy. I play for 30 years now, For sure i've never been a blues player... Over the years, my perception of music has drasticly changed. Shred tells me musically absolutely nothing. It yust shows me motorical abbilities..... Sorry if i hurt your shredders pride. Modern rock has become a competition, who can play more notes in a single interval....
@@davidnelson5474 he sang back up vocals on Scenes from a memory. Most clearly in "fatal tragedy" also he has a demo where he sings through the entire "The best of times"
@@MrBiteme39 yes, he didn't try to improve the solo after the original ended. And he sure didn't improve it with that end rubbish. It would have taken talent he does not possess to extend the solo in the same style that the song required.
You know that it is about how Roger felt after a doctor had to inject him with a sedative before one of the shows since he was coked out of his mind and couldn’t perform, and the lyrics are basically describing the sedative-induced haziness after drug use? What message could it possibly have? It’s a musical miracle, and has a wonderful mood, and probably the best guitar solo in the existence. I love this song, heck I even play it myself, but I wouldn’t go as far as saying it has a message for generations.
@@Alpysf Well, he talks about his childhood, and I think he is trying to get back that sense of lost wonder about the world or at least numb away the pain of it.
@@TomMcMahonMUSIC anyone who can step in for John Wetton with any degree of success can obviously sing extraordinarily well… especially while simultaneously stepping into Steve Howe’s guitar parts. Portnoy has a unique vocal contribution also, as he shows well as bottom end of the Flying Colors harmonies.
Gilmour says he plays the first solo note for note, and the 1st half of the 2nd solo note for note, then improvises the 2nd half of the 2nd solo, playing what he feels. That's what happened here too! It's amazing! 😍
@@Anaximander29A in fact it sounds ten times better than the original one,this way...What you want to say is that Gilmour can't play second part of the solo like Ron...it's ok...the song is a music legend anyway...
@@Anaximander29A Your opinion sucks. He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that so he adds his own touch of shred to keep it fresh and interesting and to make it his own. I'm sick of you melodic solo gatekeepers that think any bit of technical ability and speed instantly means bad. I appreciate all styles and speeds of guitar playing and this was goddamn beautiful to me, to each their own I guess.
@@LumpyyyPotato I guess I was a bit too harsh with "that solo sucked big time"... I just don't like it that much. But it's definitely not as good as Gilmour on the Pulse live show. "He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that.." If that is true than this just shows that something is fundamentally wrong with this guitar player. 1. It's about the music, not about the musician's ego, 2. the arc of suspense and phrasing in the said live version from Pink Floyd is insane, if there would be no excitement in it for him than he wouldn't understand a whole lot about music. But seriously I doubt that. I bet that he knows he can't play it quite as good as Gilmore and the shred was definitely just a fan service for all you nerds. I am absolutely not against "technical" playing, but if someone does it just for the sake of it then it sounds absolutely cringe to me.
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson Just shut it. Please. You think this is played without emotion? There is tons of it. Just pull your head out of that smelly cavity and listen
This is the version I always enjoy listening to. One badass band covers another. Pink Floyd has been my favorite band for almost 50 years, and Comfortably Numb is and will forever be my favorite song. I've heard a few versions, but your cover is brilliant. Ron, Billy, Mike and Derrick, you are all absolute masters at your instruments. Ron, your leads at the end bring tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you so much for this cover !
That outro solo was phenomenal and shows how smart of a guitarist Ron is. He could set the fretboard on fire if he wanted to, but he knows the value of a simple and effective melody too. The result in that solo was a brilliant emulation of the style of the original song with just enough of his own touches and flashes of skill to make it unique without overpowering it.
Um baterista que canta Pink Floid, que sai do Dream Theater e faz um excelente trabalho em inúmeras bandas é simplesmente fenomenal. Um salve para o estimado Portnoy!
I was super disappointed when I heard this tune and dream on will not be on the Blu Ray but now I'm ok after 9 minutes of awesomeness ! The best cover of comfortably numb I've ever heard !!
I love the way that each member of the band acknowledges each others ability and skill with their instruments. No egos involved: just respect for each other.
My favorite song of all time! This version is astonishing and best cover I've heard of song. Portnoy hits it out of the park on vocals and Bumblefoot's solo is incredible!
The guitar solo is good, and I don't have a problem with all the shred playing towards the end as long as the emotional playing comes first. The singing here is not filled with the sense of pain and depression needed. This is still one of the very best covers of this song.
He is really a Great Player . and very detail oriented guitarist as noted on his rendition of Lines in the sand which he even used a petrucci leak from Once in a lifetime dvd ( or live shows at that period )
Brit Floyd is basically Pinky reincarnate. Saw em at an outdoor show last year with 10,000 people. PHENOMENAL. They all use Fractal Axe Fx IIs direct to front of house with a quiet stage and in ear monitors. They play to a click and pretty much create a studio environment on the stage. Their tone is immaculate, and Damien Darlington is like Gilmour Jr. Go see Brit Floyd!!
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson I heard a lot of emotion, personally. It was his own interpretation, and you're allowed to interpret a solo any way you want. You're also allowed to hate it, of course. ;)
@@colz848 Eh, not gonna get all douchey like Cletus, but I do think one thing in a lot of modern Prog that does bug me is there is a lot of technical wankery in place of simple melody. Just my opinion, none of the "additions" actually in any way improved the solo. But for the record, I also can't get in to Yngwie, Dream Theater, etc. Because I feel too often they substitute technical wizardry for actual songwriting. Complex seldom actually adds emotion, because emotions are in themselves pretty simple. *shrugs* so, Different strokes, different folks.
Love how happy Mile looks here. Near the end of Bumbles solo you could see how much Mike was digging how their parts were meshing. Bravo guys. What a show
Christ what a performance. Gives me the shivers knowing the 'Original' from past events. Celebration of true admiration of the composers. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely stunning cover of one of my all time favorite songs. I always get the shivers when Pink Floyd / David Gilmour play the final guitar solo. Sons of Apollo succeeded in giving me the shivers at the same moment.
This is the difference between many great musicians and this guys. See Mike and Billy play with such a taste, such a feeling, so far away from what most of times people think is what they do best: shred, super fast metal stuff... Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am a little happier now than just ten minutes ago.
Not being a fan of bands covering other artists..this is one of the few exceptions to that rule..This Pink Floyd song cover is a complete Masterpiece !
It was phenomenal listening to Mike Portnoy sing. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Bumblefoot started improvising. This is undoubtedly one of the best covers of this song.
I was there... Perfect! The second cover was Gates of Babylon - perfect! Blackmore and Gilmour in one show in my town - thanks to Mike Portnoy and his friends... I had not even dreamt! God bless you, Mike!
You guys nail this song just like the original Pink Floyd. For a moment I thought it was David. Holy moly tat was a great cover performance. Best version I have ever heard. Tks guys t was comfortably soothing. Pink Floyd tat for bringing this song to Earth. My oh my

I’m usually against anybody covering Floyd songs, but this was done very well.

Definitely the best version I've ever seen. What a way to impress me these monsters of musicians. Congrats !!!
By far the best Comfortably Numb cover ever!
The version DT did with Geoff Tate during the Tribe tour was very good live
I would say Brit Floyd but this is spectacular.
Brit Floyd is basically Pinky reincarnate. Saw em at an outdoor show last year with 10,000 people. PHENOMENAL. They all use Fractal Axe Fx IIs direct to front of house with a quiet stage and in ear monitors. They play to a click and pretty much create a studio environment on the stage. Their tone is immaculate, and Damien Darlington is like Gilmour Jr.
Go see Brit Floyd!!
@@rickfeith6372 well said, I've seen them twice and it was unbelievable.
My Idol Mike Portnoy,Singing the legendary Roger Waters part is simply amazing
MP's vocal treatment was stunning.
Best cover of this song ever!
Man!! How I love his drum sound... And the respect for the orginal song, specially the solo... Amazing!
Made this song better to me. Jeff's timbre is fantastic.
5 thumbs up! Unreal rendition! Thank you!
That Bumblefoot though...
He's legendary 🙏
@@cinamynj ...and yet, somehow, criminally underrated. He's a frickin wizard.
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson I heard a lot of emotion, personally. It was his own interpretation, and you're allowed to interpret a solo any way you want. You're also allowed to hate it, of course. ;)
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson yeah we get it fuckface, every person who likes the solo is wrong, your right, your amazing, you know everything! What a tool
@@colz848 Eh, not gonna get all douchey like Cletus, but I do think one thing in a lot of modern Prog that does bug me is there is a lot of technical wankery in place of simple melody. Just my opinion, none of the "additions" actually in any way improved the solo.
But for the record, I also can't get in to Yngwie, Dream Theater, etc. Because I feel too often they substitute technical wizardry for actual songwriting. Complex seldom actually adds emotion, because emotions are in themselves pretty simple.
*shrugs* so, Different strokes, different folks.
Love how happy Mile looks here. Near the end of Bumbles solo you could see how much Mike was digging how their parts were meshing. Bravo guys. What a show
Just one word of one of the greatest Pink Floyd Fans on the planet: Wow! What a guitar Solo! Magic!
Best cover of Comfortably Numb yet made.
Check out the Australian pink Floyd show,I just did!
Also covered by Dream Theater and Queensryche. th-cam.com/video/SBf3zDmnxbA/w-d-xo.html
That fretless guitar SCREAMS! I've never wanted one more!
Unfortunately, it's not about the guitar. It's about what's behind it
the guitar hes playing here isnt fretless.....only the other one.
Christ what a performance. Gives me the shivers knowing the 'Original' from past events. Celebration of true admiration of the composers. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely stunning cover of one of my all time favorite songs. I always get the shivers when Pink Floyd / David Gilmour play the final guitar solo. Sons of Apollo succeeded in giving me the shivers at the same moment.
you & me brother
This is the difference between many great musicians and this guys. See Mike and Billy play with such a taste, such a feeling, so far away from what most of times people think is what they do best: shred, super fast metal stuff... Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am a little happier now than just ten minutes ago.
Maybe the best cover ever of this song
Best cover I've ever heard of this. The fretless guitar stuff was sick! Flawless.
I'm comfortably numb after this cover ❤️
Probably the best cover. Well one. Nice one.!!
Ron did an amazing job!
Impressed... Was not expecting much. Now, tears in my eyes.
I sat listening with my jaw wide open for this whole performance, absolutely amazing.
Великий,просто великий альбом,слушаю.....слёзы наворачиваются........
Not being a fan of bands covering other artists..this is one of the few exceptions to that rule..This Pink Floyd song cover is a complete Masterpiece !
Great.Congratulations and celebrations to you Sons Of Apollo.Please keep up the good work.
It was phenomenal listening to Mike Portnoy sing. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Bumblefoot started improvising. This is undoubtedly one of the best covers of this song.
One of the most respectful professional and exquisite version I've ever heard.
Гениальная музыка, есть где разгуляться гениальным музыкантам!
I was there... Perfect! The second cover was Gates of Babylon - perfect! Blackmore and Gilmour in one show in my town - thanks to Mike Portnoy and his friends... I had not even dreamt! God bless you, Mike!
Outstanding. Love You Mike and Ron and Derek and Bill, and others...
You guys nail this song just like the original Pink Floyd.
For a moment I thought it was David.
Holy moly tat was a great cover performance.
Best version I have ever heard. Tks guys t was comfortably soothing.
Pink Floyd tat for bringing this song to Earth.
My oh my
Excellent tribute to a powerful song!
WHAT A PERFECT AND SOUND MATERIAL PRODUCED, A TRUE MUSICAL DELITE BY PINK FLOYD
Great: He never lost the spirit of the original, this is tastefull shredding...
What an incredible guitar solo
The best cover of this song in the history of EVER. Wow. Can't WAIT to see these guys live!
What a great version of this great song.
When you listen to this song, it simply takes you way beyond your senses and if it is played this way, just magnificent
